Not only are the direct Larned descendants reviewed, but accounts from siblings and connecting families are also revealed. Additional families mentioned are: Gilman, Sternes, Bigelow, Bryant, Merrils, Marsh, Willis, Newman, Wilson, Wooster, Roberson, Tidwell, Turnbow, and Griffis.Many significant events in American history are investigated as the Larneds were very directly involved in military actions before the American Revolution through the Civil War and after World War II. Larned descendants have served their country in King Philip’s War, the Great Swamp Fight, the American Revolution, Shay’s Rebellion, the War of 1812, the Mexican War, the Civil War, WWI, WWII, and other conflicts. Special recognition is given to U.S. Paymaster-General Benjamin Franklin Larned with many previously unpublished details of his life and military career disclosed. Numerous interactions with key personnel of the U.S. Civil War are revealed. Related newspaper articles and the content of original letters from Benjamin F. Larned are furnished. Fort Larned Kansas is named in honor of Colonel B.F. Larned. Additional information is noted concerning the migration of the Larned Family into Texas. Included is an autobiographical manuscript from Dr. Edward Spalding Larned describing his migration to Waco Texas in 1856 which would lead to his harrowing 1300 mile escape by horseback from the Knights of the Golden Circle during the very beginning of the Civil War. Local histories of Hood County and Haskell County, Texas are discussed that directly involve members of the Larned family. Census data, biographical histories, deed records, old photographs, and numerous publications are utilized to paint an accurate description of the Larneds of Texas. Correspondence from several original letters illustrate the tough economic times in Haskell County during World War II. This compilation accompanies the Larned families from 1630 to 2005 and discloses Larned family lore which is abundant in love, pride, and humor. Though Silent They Speak, The Larned Family History is a revelation of the love of God, continuous challenges of character, and a devoted tenacity of a great American family.
