Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Faxon Family: Containing a Genealogy of the Descendants of Thomas Faxon of Braintree, Mass; With Up Locating the Homesteads of the First Four Generations; Accomplished by Copious Abstracts From the Records of Deeds and Probate; Also a Genealogy of Branches of Many Alli The small figures, on the right of names, denote the generation from Thomas Faxon. The consecutive numbers, on the left of names, denote the order of descendants from Thomas Faxon, beginning with the latter, as No. 1. To find any name, look in the index for number and year; turn to the number given in the index, which number will be found, in its order, on the left side of the page. The sign which precedes the number denotes that the full account of the descendant will be found, on a subsequent page, under the same number. The use of double dates is explained in the Introduction. They arc not employed, unless existing in the record from which they are taken. The usual abbreviations of "b." for born, "d." for died, "m." for married, "ae t." for aged, etc., arc employed. The numbers on the map indicate the generation to which the name belongs. The descendants of the allied families of Ballou, Barbour, Saxton, Washburn, Whitmarsh and some others, are carried to the present generation immediately after the record of the first family of the name, under the consecutive number with the addition of a letter of the alphabet. Thus, 374a denotes the descendants of one whose name, has the consecutive number 374; and under 374a his children will be found. When a record is quoted with such an expression as Suff. Deeds 26: 75, the first number denotes the volume, the second, the page. The names given in parenthesis at the head of families indicate the order of descent from Thomas Faxon. The pronouns "he" and "she" are used frequently in giving residence, occupation, decease, etc. In some such instances strict propriety requires the repetition of the name; but no ambiguity will result from the use of the pronoun.
