Book Description
Excerpt from Descendants of Henry Travers of London, England and Newbury, Massachusetts, U. S. A Many years ago the subject of ancestry began to attract attention. The compiler of these records became interested in it along his Travis line, during a long illness. He had known some of his relatives bearing the name of Travis, brothers and sisters of his mother's mother, but all, with one exception, had passed off the stage ere this inquiry began; so but very little information could be had from the immediate family as to their ancestors, beyond their uncles and aunts. By much patient research and travel, extending over eighteen years, and a large expenditure of money, the results here recorded have been gained, and gratification is had in tracing the line unbroken from Henry Travers who arrived from London, England, in the Ship "Mary and John" at Agawam, now Ipswich, in 1634, down to the present time, and to find representatives of the family showing their love of country in every emergency requiring patriotic service, from King Philips war to the war of the Rebellion. The descendants of Henry Travers have thus had part and parcel in the development of our beloved New England, from its infancy. James Travis, born in Newbury, Mass., in 1645, the only son of Henry Travers, was one of the early settlers of Brookfield, Mass., in 1668, and a petitioner for its incorporation "Oct ye 10 1673."
