Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Genealogy of the Bostwick Family in America: The Descendants of Arthur Bostwick, of Stratford, Conn
While this small book was prepared with a great deal of care, it was very incomplete in many ways, and some years ago I was prompted by a desire to see the history of our family put in such shape, as to place before the descendants of our emigrant ancestor, records of the early generations which might prove of value and interest to those now bearing the name of Bostwick or their descendants.
To that end, I have, during the past eight years, collected such records as it was possible to obtain, and the result is to be found in the pages of this book.
I do not claim that this work contains the name of every descend ant of our earliest ancestor, but, as far as it has been possible to obtain them, it contains the names of all persons positively identified with the original line of descent.
To a considerable degree, the descendants in the female lines are also to be found, and these have been made as complete as possible, without devoting too much time to them.
I have had the usual experience of all genealogists in encountering several classes of persons, in preparing this work.
One class consists of those who seem to think that the compilation of this book has been done for the sole purpose of making money out of others.
