A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Sntrobuction The object of this book is to give a biographical account of the members of two Crosby families for the purpose of preserving family history, and thinking it might be of interest not only to the survivors written about, but especially to their descendants. I have done this work at the request of my brothers and sisters, and of my own volition, Much more could be said of each, and possibly couched in more rhetorical language, but my object has been simply to give a narrative of facts and events in the everyday vernacular. I have given special attention to our ancestry preceding the arrival of our common ancestor, Simon Crosby, in America in 1635, my information being obtained from the most reliable sources obtainable in this country; and I doubt if more reliable or interesting history of our ancestors can be found among the archives of historic England. It is a well-known fact that in pursuing heraldry and ancient or family history you are surrounded by myths, and that to begin at some reasonably correct starting point is more satisfactory than delving into uncertainties. Between our common ancestor, Simon, who was born in 1609, and our grandfather, Oliver Crosby, born in 1769, there are three generations of Crosbys of which much could be written.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
