"Herein the reader will find many, many people. Among them are individuals who composed popular songs and wrote books, kept the first public school in the New World, signed the Declaration of Independence, fought over wales, discovered the Columbia River, and founded Cleveland, Ohio. One man left the priesthood, took a wife, then murdered her. A woman complained about the settlement of her father's estate 26 years after his death, then died at the hands of her husband. One will find a man who married two women with the same given name and surname. In another case, a woman and her four daughters all married men with the same surname. some family groups stayed for generations in the same community. Others moved frequently and far from home. To track these people and discover their fortune has been an enjoyable undertaking." from 'To the reader' in the book.
