Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paine Family Records, Vol. 1: A Journal of Genealogical and Biographical Information Respecting the American Families of Payne, Paine, Payn, &C In the revival of genealogical and biographical research that constitutes so evi dent a feature of 'the literary activity of our time, the interests of this family in its ancestry have not been entirely overlooked. Indeed much has been done to elucidate its origin and early history on this continent by a number of earnest and painstaking collectors and investigators, during the last few years. Many rare and curious records, illustrative of the lives and characters of _its honored founders, and of many of their worthy descendants, have been brought to light, and by filial care rescued from further danger of destruction or loss. Some progress has been made in arranging the facts relating to particular lines of descent in their proper order, according to a regular genealogical scheme. But these valued relics and memorials of ancestral history, exist in manu script form unknown except to their possessors, or are scattered through numerous publications, and practically inaccessible to the majority of those who would be most interested in them. Besides the important particulars that have been thus happily preserved, and to some extent made available, there is undoubtedly a mass of similar material yet hidden away in unexplored and perhaps unsuspected repositories, which if once recovered would solve many doubtful questions of identity or pedigree, supply many missing links in the chain of descent, and generally add much to the fullness and value of our present available information.
