Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Trowbridge Family: Or the Descendants of Thomas Trowbridge, One of the First Settlers of New Haven, Conn While entire accuracy has been aimed at, and while I have. Avoided all statements of facts or dates not based on good evidence, yet undoubtedly some errors may be found, owing to the fact that often discrepancies occur between dates furnished by different members of the same family, and also between different family records, as between family and town records and ecclesiastical and probate records. In all these cases of discrepancies I have acted according to the best of my judgment. Some families, it is to be regretted, are not as fully given as desirable, owing to indifference and backwardness in responding to inquiries. As a general rule, however, the families addressed have taken a lively interest in the enterprise, and promptly furnished their records, as over four hundred received letters testify. To name all who have rendered essential service in furnishing materials for the work, would occupy an unreasonable amount of space. Errors, of course, are to be expected in a work where so many dates and figures occur, yet, with few exceptions, we believe an accurate record has been given. The author has endeavored to make the work as free from intricacies as possible. The descendants of each of the three children of the first settler are distinctly traced according to their generations, and all are numbered from the beginning. The marginal numbers give each descendant his place in the order of descent, and the several head numbers in the middle of the pages, the marriages of such as have entered the family relation, and, as far as possible, the names of their respective partners, with their dates of marriage, and the decease of those who have passed off the stage. A full Index of the Christian names of all whose sirname is Trowbridge, is furnished, the number of the individual being the left hand column, and the date of birth, where ascertained, on the right; also an Index of descendants bearing other names than Trowbridge, with numbers and dates to correspond; and also a list of those who have married into the Trowbridge family, with the numbers of their respective partners in the left hand column, and the date of marriage on the right.
