Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial of William Spooner, 1637, and of His Descendants to the Third Generation: Of His Great-Grandson, Elnathan Spooner, and of His Descendants, to 1871 There IS a time to every purpose. To the memory of the dead, to gatherings of the past and present for the future, I have since given many of those hours. From family to family, from town and State to town and State, to the Islands of the sea, to the Old World, have my let ters of inquiry and circulars gone. Most persistently has the work been followed up. The result is a Register of the names of nearly thirteen thousand of the descendants of will iam spooner, coming from about three thousand families, and, together with dates of births, marriages, and deaths, with much of an historical character, connecting them with the colonial period and with the events that have crowded so much the pages of history since the fall of Warren at Bunker Hill. What disposition shall be made of this collection of facts? Shall it be read in manuscript, and kept only for myself and mine; and finally, when my days are numbered, be used for making new paper, on which may be woven the thread of an other family history?
