Book Description
Excerpt from Genealogical Gleanings in England, Vol. 1: Part Second The late Col. Joseph L. Chester, in a letter written the year before his death to the Editor of the register (register, xxxvi. Says that he had carried about with him daily for many years a bit of pedigree of Harvard in the hope of being able to perfect it; that he thought he had found the will of the father of John Harvard, but could not yet prove it; that he disliked to put forward a mere theory, but hoped to come upon further evidence some day. At a meeting of the New England Historic Genealogical Society held in Boston, June 3, 1885, a paper by Miss Frances B. James of Cambridge, Mass, was read, on John Harvard's English Home, a Caveat in Behalf of Devonshire. It contained the results of some researches made by her in the summer of 1883, in Plymtree, co. Devon, England, where there formerly lived a family of Harward or Harvard, but no claim was made by her that any relationship could be shown to exist between this family and that of John Harvard.

Book Description
Excerpt from Genealogical Gleanings in England, Vol. 1 The New England Historic Genealogical Society, through its Committee on English Research, has undertaken to make an exhaustive search of the English Records, on a plan never before attempted, for everything which concerns the family history of the early settlers of this country. For this purpose it has secured the services of the eminent antiquary Henry Fitz Gilbert Waters. Mr. Waters sailed for England May 5, 1883, and at once entered upon his great work. Before a twelvemonth had passed he had accumulated a vast amount of historical and genealogical material, including abstracts of more than six hundred wills relating to American families, and he is still industriously engaged in adding to his invaluable collections. Some of the results of his researches, under the title of "Genealogical Gleanings in England," have been given to the public in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, the organ of the Society. It has now been deemed advisable to reprint some of these "Gleanings" in a form more convenient for reference. The present volume includes the various instalments published in the Register from July, 1883, to April, 1885, inclusive. It has been found impossible heretofore in most cases to satisfactorily establish the relationship between English and American families of the same name, and this failure to connect has been to the American genealogist the source of his greatest trouble. The searches now undertaken promise for the first time to meet and overcome this difficulty. The method adopted by Mr. Waters, so different from that of his predecessors, has, as was predicted, brought to light information which has escaped the attention of all other investigators.

Genealogical Gleanings in England (Volume I) By Henry F. Waters AM INTRODUCTION The efforts made by the New England Historic Genealogical Society, through its Committee on English Research, to procure funds sufficient to enable it to make an exhaustive search of the English Records, on a plan never before attempted, for everything which concerns the family history of the early settlers of this country; its great good fortune in securing the services of the eminent antiquary, Henry FitzGilbert Waters; his peculiar qualifications for the task, and the superiority of the method adopted by him, are all set forth in the New England Historical AND Genealogical Register for July, 1883. Mr. Waters sailed for England May 5, 1883, and at once entered upon his great work. The step thus taken was a most important one, and marked a new departure in genealogical research. The notes printed in the Register for July, 1883, were the results of Mr. Waters's first few days' work among the records of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Somerset House, London. They arrived here barely in time for publication in that number of the Register, and were a foretaste of what was to come. Before a twelvemonth had passed he had accumulated a vast amount of historical and genealogical material, including abstracts of more than six hundred wills relating to American families, and he has since then industriously added to his invaluable collections, until they are now unequalled both in extent and in importance. Some of the results of his researches, under the title of "Genealogical Gleanings in England," have been given to the public in the "New England Historical and Genealogical Register," the organ of the Society. It has now been deemed advisable to reprint some of these "Gleanings" in a form more convenient for reference. The present volumes include the various instalments published in the Register from July, 1883, to January, 1899, inclusive. In addition to these genealogical researches, Mr. Waters has made historical discoveries of the highest value. We owe to him the finding of the Winthrop map and the Maverick MS, two of the most important contributions made in our day to our early colonial history. These discoveries excited great attention among historical students, not only in this country, but also in England. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices. This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making. We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.
