Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from From Generation to Generation: The Genealogies of Dwight Stone and Olive Evans
The plan of this book is very simple. It is divided into two sections. In the first, the ancestry of Dwight Stone, the Stone lineage is given first and all others follow in alphabetical order. Each line begins with the earliest of that name from whom direct descent is proved and is continued down from father to son until the spin dle comes into play; Of course the descendants of an ancestress must be sought among her husband's people. Turning to their records, this second line can be traced upward to its source and downward to where it also ends in a daughter, whose children's names must be sought in a third genealogy. The direct ancestry only is given and any name on which rests any shadow of doubt is marked with an asterisk.
Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, Bond's His tory of Watertown, Paige's History of H-ardwick and other local histories; the New England Historical and Genealogical Register and many family records have been faithfully studied. Much has been learned through personal examination of town records, family Bibles and moss-covered headstones and a great deal of valuable information has been received from Mr. Sum ner W. Stone, of New York, Mr. George Burnham, of North Windham, Conn, and Mr. George E. Porter, of Norwich, Conn.
