Book Description
Excerpt from The History of the Descendants of Elder John Strong, of Northampton, Mass, Vol. 1 In preparing the history of the Dwight family for publication, the author obtained, in tracing out their frequent intermarriages with the Strongs, so much of the genealogy of this large and honorable family, that, after much reflection on the necessary demands of so great an enterprise, he determined at last to undertake also the preparation of their family his tory. And this he now offers first of the two to those interested in its details, designing to follow its publication soon with that of his paternal ancestry and kindred. N 0 one could know better than he, after five years of diligent industry in his previous endeavor, what would be the cost, in time, patience, strength and money, of his new effort. In his history of the former family there were even in the third generation but three founders of families; but with the Strongs how different! Elder John Strong began the family history with 18 children, 15 of whom had families, and 88 of their children are on record in this book as heads of families. There were doubtless a dozen more. From the third genera tion downwards, the author's task was nearly 30 times greater, therefore, in tracing his maternal ancestry and kindred, than his paternal. When first seriously meditating the vast attempt, he felt, like one standing on the banks of a wide, strong stream lying between him and victory, just enough excited with fear at the dimensions of the prospect before him, to be all the more resolved and eager to push into the sea of difficulties, that spread everywhere in view.
