Historical and Genealogical Miscellany

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The work is essentially a reference one and appeals alike to the sociologist, genealogist and historian. It tells of the great simplicity of early life, the necessary frugality of the people and the hardships of the early settlers compared with the splendor, prodigality and ease of the present day.
