Excerpt from Shannon Genealogy: Genealogical Record and Memorials of One Branch of the Shannon Family in America While carefully aiming not to detract from the just merit of the compiler's work it has been found necessary not only to carefully verify names and dates, but to supply many omissions and make numerous cor rections. This has entailed a vast amount of correspondence; and while the additional information thus obtained has generally been presented in the form of notes (with my initials appended to distinguish them from the compiler's notes), yet occasionally it has been found necessary to rewrite the personal sketches, and even recast whole pages of the text. In no case, however, has an alteration been made which would in the slightest degree change the expressed Opinions of the compiler. For example, the Introduction is printed substantially as he wrote it in 1890, and presents his own personal views on the subject of the origin of the family name. During the three years that Mr. Hodgdon was most actively engaged upon this work he corresponded with me regularly, and two volumes of his letters now before me, covering some four hundred pages in all, attest the energy and ability with which he pursued the investigation.
