Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fulham Genealogy With Index of Names and Blanks for Records A genealogy usually has little of interest to those whose names do not appear in it; this is likely to be no exception; and, probably, the interest of the majority will be only in what relates to their individual families, or their line of descent. It has been prepared especially for the descendants of the Honorable Francis Fulham of Weston, Massachusetts, born at Fulham, a parish of London, England; and, in conformity to the method of its designer, it contains all that is known of him and his ancestry; and what has been learned of his progeny, of whatever name, that can interest the family in general or the individuals composing it. The facts as to past generations have been gathered from trustworthy sources; and what relates to those now or lately living is from their own narration, or from narratives of relatives or familiar friends. The substance of what has been furnished by all is inserted, without intent to glorify any, and suppressing nothing that can contribute to a general knowledge of the history and character istics of the family; that all may find what is of interest to them. In 1845 the Author's father began to record facts as to the family, stored in his marvelous memory from childhood. Beginning with the narratives of his grand father Timothy Fulham, born in Weston, and 16 years old when Francis Fulham died, he added what afterwards was acquired, intending to publish all. After his death, the manuscript came to the Author, who, to save from oblivion that of which there was no other record, and finish the undertaking according to his father's wish, took up the work, and now presents the result to his kindred.
