Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robert Harris and His Descendents: With Notices of the Morey and Metcalf Families Robert Harris and his descendants are numbered in regular order from the beginning to the end; this "general number" is the Arabic figure prefixed to each name. The order of children in each family is denoted by the Roman numerals. Thus -" (53) IV. John," (page 20), denotes that this John is the fifty-third in the general numbering, and the fourth child in his father's family. The small, elevated figure at the right of any name, denotes the generation. Thus -"(53) IV. John,4" denotes that John was of the fourth generation. Robert, the emigrant, being the first. The Arabic figure following the name of a child, denotes that this child had a family, and the figure represents the "general" number of his first child. Thus-"(53) IV. John (131)," on page 20, denotes that John had a family, which commences with the "general" number 131 as on page 26. The Arabic figure following the name of the head of a family, denotes his number in the "general" list. Thus-"John (53)," on page 26, denotes that John's "general" number was 53, and his birth is found at that number, (as on page 20, ) from which his pedigree is easily traced. That the genealogy is incomplete, is to be expected, but it is seldom so in the earlier generations; in the later, the names of children, born since information was procured of some branches, will not be found. That errors will be occasionally discovered, notwithstanding all care, is a matter of course. But the infirmities of advancing years admonish the writer that the hope of greater completeness must not be allowed to delay publication.
