Excerpt from Genealogical Register of Lexington Families, From the First Settlement of the Town IN the following notices of the Lexington families, I have been desirous to give a full genealogy of those who settled in the town early, or who have resided long in the place. Most of the families which have come into Lexington within the last twenty or thirty years, have little or no record on our town books; and hence it is impossible to give any connected view of them from our records. In such cases I have applied to the families personally or by circular, to furnish a. Complete record; and wherever such a record has been procured, it has been used in this volume. But many, I regret to say, have supplied no such lists. This fact is mentioned, to show that the fullest opportunity has been given to every family, to provide the means which would enable me to give them a place in this Register. It would be impossible for me to take up every modern family, and follow them through the records of the respective places where they and their ancestors may have resided, and give their genealogy. A life-time would be insufficient for such a Herculean task; especially when we consider the changing character of our population at the present day. I regret the absence of many families from this list, but the fault is not mine. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from History of the Town of Lexington, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, From Its First Settlement to 1868: With a Genealogical Register of Lexington Families There is also a general defect in records, arising from the brevity of the entries. 1when an event is recent, and the details are fresh in the memory of the people, a concise memorandum may apparently answer the purpose. But when the event is for gotten, such a brief entry becomes almost useless. All records should be self-explaining; so that they can be understood at any future day. Another defect arises from the fact that reports of Committees, appointed to obtain the facts in a given case, are not recorded. The record may say that the report is accepted and placed on file. But in the country towns, where they have no permanent place to deposit their papers, such reports are soon lost or destroyed.

Excerpt from Proceedings of Lexington Historical Society and Papers Relating to the History of the Town, Vol. 2: Read by Some of the Members IT would be interesting to know when and where the first clearing was made and the first house built on the land now occupied by the village Of Lexington. The ground, no doubt, was covered by a heavy growth of timber and by fallen trees, large monarchs of the forest that had been'uprooted by the tempests and lay strewn in every direction. To cut down the trees, clear away the fallen wood and prepare the land for gardens and fields must have been a difficult and laborious undertaking. Who began this work here it is impossible to determine; and yet it must have been commenced soon after the first settlement of Cam bridge. As early as 1636 a road was cut through the woods from Cambridge to Concord for Rev. Peter Bulkley and his company to transport their goods to that place, where they formed a settlement. It prob ably ran through the woods near where our main street and the Concord road are now located. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Lexington Historical Society, Vol. 1: Papers Relating to the History of the Town, Read by Some of the Members Perhaps no small town has been more frequently hon ored by the adoption of its name than Lexington. Soon after the event that made our town famous, the news reached a party of explorers who had encamped on the Spot where now stands the beautiful city of Lexington, Ky. Professor Ranck, in an interesting account Of the settlement, says: Delighted with the virgin charms sur rounding them, they resolved to make the site of our city their place of settlement, and then and there named it Lexington, in honor of that glorious field where the rebels of Massachusetts had died but a few weeks before, resist ing the encroachments of their king. Here, in the heart of a Virginia wilderness and by Kentucky pioneers, was erected the first monument ever raised on this continent to the first dead of the Ameri can Revolution. Other Lexingtons followed; and today we find the name given to county, town, village, or station twenty-four times at least in the following States South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Virginia, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas. When I began to study the origin of the name, I was not aware of the discussion that had taken place in regard to it. I naturally turned to English sources of inquiry. Judge of my surprise to find in the Encyclopaedia Bri tannica the only Lexington mentioned was Lexington, Ky. Chambers gives it a bare mention as the scene of the first conflict between the Americans and the British troops in the War for Independence. Other English works of ref erence were significantly silent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Wolcott Genealogy: The Family of Henry Wolcott, One of the First Settlers of Windsor, Connecticut In the production of the book and particularly in the printing of statistics as to later generations the greatest possible care has been taken to present all the information that could be obtained and it is believed that there have been no departures or omissions. More than ten years ago the writer began the work of collecting statistics, of consulting Old records, of interviewing and corresponding with the different branches, and While only recently has it seemed that the material collected would be printed, there is, he feels, all the greater reason for Congratulation that the interest and assistance of others of the family have combined to make the present the opportune time for publication.
