Book excerpt: Excerpt from Genealogy of the Claypoole Family of Philadelphia, 1588-1893 In the course of these studies I have become acquainted with much of the early history of the Province of Pennsylvania, as well as of that of the Claypoole family, and have met in person or through letters many descendants of the first settlers of that name, from whom I have received assistance in the way of family records and 00pies of portraits, for which I here desire to extend my grateful acknowledgments. Among those who have rendered me aid are Mr. Charles E. La Motte, of Wilming ton, Delaware, and Colonel Joseph Audenried, of Washington, D.C., who have both recently died; also Mr. J. Rutgers Le Boy, of Paris, who has established most important links between the American and English families of Claypoole; Mr. Oliver Canby, the Misses Augusta and Louise Canby, who have allowed me to use material prepared by their father, and Mr. George Canby. My thanks are also due to President Dwight of Yale College, to the Rev. Mr. Allen, rector of St. Peter's Church, Chester, to Mr. William Boyd Jacobs, the Rev. S. W. Reigart, DD, and many others who have kindly helped me in my genealogical researches, and last, but not least, to my faithful friends and coadjutors, Miss Anne E. Wharton and Miss A. H. Cresson, whose assist ance has been invaluable to me in the compilation and editing of this book. To complete a record covering so many years would require more time and labor than 'i could command; consequently, in presenting this volume to my family, I wish to explain that I do not offer it as a finished genealogy, but rather as an outline, in which the connecting links have been made fast whenever it has been possible to secure positive information, and where un avoidable gaps occur it is hoped that these may be filled in by members of the family into whose hands it may fall.
