A Genealogical And Historical Record Of The Descendants Of John Pease PDF Download

Excerpt from A Genealogical and Historical Record of the Descendants of John Pease, Sen With kindred esteem, the compiler presents this work to the living descendants of John Pease, (known in Salem, Mass., and in Enfield, Ct., as John Pease, Sen., ), a Genealogical Record of his posterity. The writer has not been induced to engage in this labor in expectation of sharing some great estate which had no legitimate heirs in the Fatherland to claim it - as has been frequently hinted; neither has he anticipated adequate compensation for the time, labor and expense incurred in accomplishing it; but rather from a desire to see a more certain, complete and permanent Register of our family name in this country - especially of those springing from our ancestor of the Enfield branch - thus bringing to each other's acquaintance a large circle of relatives which time and circumstances have scattered throughout our wide domain, and in other parts of the world; also as a tribute of respect to the memory of those whose pioneer lives, hardships and privations, and whose patriotism and piety, have procured and bequeathed to us a rich inheritance of civil and religious liberty. Furthermore it seemed important that the names and deeds of our ancestors and kindred, many of whom have bravely fallen in battle or died in camps, in the early and later wars of our country, should not be lost to future generations. Again, it appeared desirable and appropriate, that one who had seen and conversed with three and taken active part in religious worship with one of the grandsons of John Pease, Sen., should speak of the fathers to the present and coming generations. These considerations have led the writer to comply with a request to prepare for the press a genealogical record of the descendants of John Pease, Sen.
