Book excerpt: Excerpt from Edward Jessup of West Farms, Westchester Co;, New York, and His Descendants: With an Introduction and an Appendix, the Latter Containing Records of Other American Families of the Name With Some Additional Memoranda The present work was begun in 1879 at the solicitation of Morris K. Jesup, Esq., of New York city, and has been prosecuted during intervals of leisure up to the date of publication, a period of nearly eight years. The amount of time and labor involved can be justly estimated only by those who have been engaged in similar undertakings. The materials have been drawn from a great variety of sources, and their collection and arrangement, the harmonizing of discrepancies, and, in extreme cases, the judicious guessing at probabilities, have involved more of perplexity than the ordinary reader would suppose. Records of every description, and almost without number, have been examined either personally or through the officials having them in charge, and in one case as distant as Cape Town in South Africa, - records of families, churches, parishes, towns, counties, in foreign lands as well as in the United States; land records and probate records, cemetery inscriptions, local histories, and general histories, wherever accessible.
