A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The Lundy lineage, so far as known, begins with three names, which represent three successive generations father, son, and grandson. First. The father was Sylvester Lundy of A xminster, County of Devon, England; our only known ancestor in the Lundy line who lived and died in the Old World. Second. The son was Richard Lundy the First, born in England, a residentof A xminster, an emigrator to the New World in 1676, a settler in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and the Founder of the Lundy Family in A merica. He was an Elder in the Religious Society of Friends. Third. The grandson was Richard Lundy the Second,, the first A merican-born Lundy. He was born in the County of Bucks, Pennsylvania, in 1692; and died in the County of Warren, New Jersey, in 1772. He was an Elder in the Religious Society of Friends, and was active at the organization of three new Meetings, or Churches, in the wilderness the Buckingham, the Plumstead, and the Hardwick. From this Richard the Second have sprung numerous Lundy households, which are now widely scattered throughout the United States and Canada. We will now speak more fully concerning each of these three men. SYLVESTER LUNDY. Very brief, indeed, is the account that has come down to us concerning this man who leads the list of our Lundy forefathers. We know his name and the town he lived in and that he begot a son Richard. These items, so meager and barely sufficient for the inscription on a tombstone, comprise the whole record; there is nothing else known about him. No definite answer can be given to the many queries which naturally arise concerning his rank, occupation and religious belief, his wife, and his other children, if others there were, and his parentage and remote ancestry.
