Excerpt from Hall Ancestry: A Series of Sketches of the Lineal Ancestors, of the Children of Samuel Holden Parsons Hall, and His Wife Emeline Bulkeley of Binghamton, N. Y., With Some Account of Nearly One Hundred of the Early Puritan Families of New England, Also Tables Showing The Impracticable to verify every fact, and in some cases the errors of others may have been repeated here. Considerable new material has also been gotten together. Many facts and incidents have been te corded solely on account of their interest to the family, for which no apology should be needed as the book is intended principally for the family's use and information. The pedigrees of two progenitors in the female lines, one representing the paternal and the other the maternal side, have been success fully traced to a very early date, and tables have been prepared showing their descent through many illustrious houses in England and on the Continent. Tables are also given showing the descent from each ancestor mentioned in the Sketches. The plan of this book is the reverse of that usually adopted in genealogical works, in that, instead of tracing all the descendants of a given ancestor, it traces all the ancestors of a given descendant. This pre sents the subject from a different point of view, and makes more apparent the infinite number of lines which concentrate in each person, and the endless variety of bloods which each has in his veins, and corrects in a measure the current conceit that any man is descended from a single line.
