Excerpt from Narrative of the Settlement of George Christian Anthon in America: And of the Removal of the Family From Detroit, and Its Establishment in New York City

A gentleman of Detroit, engaged in antiquarian researches, applied to the writer for information as to the connection between the family of the latter and that city. The following summary was accordingly drawn up. The loss of a similar one which, in times gone by, had been communicated to an applicant under somewhat like circumstances, without any use being made of it by its recipient or any copy kept by the compiler, led to the plan of printing the present Docu ment in a few impressions, with a view to its preserva tion, and also its correction and enlargement both at Detroit and at New York.
