Excerpt from Descendants of Francis Lebaron of Plymouth, MassIN offering this volume to the public, the compiler is well aware that in many lines it is incomplete, and that there must be, of necessity, occasional errors in dates and names. As to the former, it is well known to all genealogists that the dates found on town records frequently differ from those contained in family Bibles, or given on gravestones, in some cases, two or even three varying dates for the same event have been furnished by different members of the same family, in such instances the responsibility of deciding which had the greater weight of evidence in its favor has necessarily fallen upon the compiler, and it can hardly be supposed that no errors have been made in reaching the conclusions given. In the spelling of names some apparent dis crepancies will doubtless be observed, these are due to the fact that the form used by the family itself has been followed. Even in the same family different members have occasionally used different spelling of their family name.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
