Excerpt from History of the Old Tennent Church The title page shows what this book is. As a second edition of The History of Old Tennent it is a rewriting of the first, much the same in matter and arrangement; but corrections have been made, and very much new material added, with a few changes in form throughout. Also a number of new pictures and maps will be found in this print: but the author regrets that, though seeking for it, he was unable to find and obtain a picture of Rev. Robert Roy. The author has performed this work amid his busy pastoral and ministerial duties, and can lay no claim to studied elegance of language. He has sought rather, with much care and review, to be exact and accurate, but even in this respect does not claim that the book is absolutely perfect, for unknown mistakes might be discovered. Nor is it claimed that the book is exhaustively complete, for the study is one that is almost interminable especially as to family history. The author is much indebted to Rev. Allen H. Brown, Rev. Henry G. Smith and many others for assistance afforded, materials furnished, and for loans granted: and especially to James Steen, Eatontown, N. J., for aid in genealogical research. To the List of Authorities the reader is referred for further study in Old Tennent history: - and to these authorities the author hereby makes due acknowledgment for their invaluable help. Trusting that the book may prove of some value and interest to students in its line, it is sent out on its way.
