Book excerpt: Excerpt from John North of Farmington Connecticut and His Descendants: With a Short Account of Other Early North Families To the descendants of John North, Greeting; The history of this branch of the North family was begun over seventy-five years ago by the Rev. Willam S. Porter of Farmington, a young minister who undertook genealogical research while awaiting a call. It was the most complete genealogy of the North family up to that time. The original manuscript is in the possession of Mr. William F. North of Austin, Texas. Unfortunately, however, the dates in this record fail to give the day and month of events. To the late Mr. Julius Gay of Farmington, who compiled from original sources the vita records of many old families in that vicinity, are due many of the exact dates given in the early generations in this volume. His manuscript, based apparently on the Porter record, and with marginal references for every date, is in the possession of the Connecticut Historical Society at Hartford. In 1893 Mr. John Hollister North of New Haven, undertook the completion of the Porter record, and after much painstaking research, succeeded in completing many of the lines to that date, besides adding much biographical matter. The present compiler became interested in the subject and kindly being given access to the records mentioned above, determined to complete and publish them. It is therefore with pleasure that he acknowledges the sources from which he obtained much information in the compilation of the records herein presented. Throughout the book much new material has been added, gleaned from local histories, biographies, records, original archives of Connecticut, and by correspondence with all known present descendants in America. Unless otherwise indicated, the authorities for military records in the French and Indian Wars, the Revolution and the War of 1812 are from "Collections of the Connecticut Historical Society," and "Connecticut Men in the Revolution, War of 1812 and War with Mexico."
