Excerpt from A Genealogical History of the French and Allied Families The study of genealogy has been for some years on the increase. Many causes have contributed to this. Among them are the patriotic societies whose membership in part at least depends on descent from revolutionary stock. The increasing tendency to reach for baubles in American society causes many a quest for proof of kinship with those in England who have the right to use insignia by heraldic authority. Not a few engage in the search of family history believing that some where in the East or in Europe is a fortune lying unclaimed awaiting its rightful heir. And then there are those whose traits of mind and special tastes lead to this kind of writing for the mere love of the semi mysterious, ever elusive information, lying just beyond reach, the attainment of which is the goal of an aspiration smaller, though no less sincere, than is that of him who explores uncharted seas and sciences. This beautiful book is due neither to a need for proof of patriot or Pilgrim lineage, to a desire of display, nor to the hope of fame or fortune. Mary Queal Beyer has deeply loved her immediate ancestry. She has even deeper love for her living kin by blood and marriage. She has put her thought in printed fact rather than adulation. In the form of a book she has recited a family record, and challenged her descend ants to measure up to a standard high and firm and fixed in the affairs of home and country.

Excerpt from A Genealogy of the Buford Family in America: With Records of a Number of Allied Families By referring to the extracts given below from old English wills and deeds, it will be seen that the pro genitors of the Bufords in America were in England long before John of Gaunt adopted the name of Beau fort for his children or the French Huguenots had emigrated. John of Gaunt came into possession of the castle of Beaufort, in the Province of Anjou, in France, at the close of the thirteenth century, and from it named his children, by Catherine Swinford Beaufort, with thetitle of Duke of Somerset. This family became extinct with the John, who was exiled to France, and was killed in the Battle of Tewksbury, in 1471. An illegitimate branch of this family was given the name of Somerset, and in 1682 the title Duke of Beaufort. There has been, from the earliest day, a tradition in the family in America that they were descendants of John of Gaunt; but this could be only through the female side of the house, and they could then have no legitimate claim to the name of Beaufort and could come by it only by adoption.

Excerpt from The Families of French of Belturbet and Nixon of Fermanagh, and Their Descendants An attempt has been made in the following pages to put on record what can be discovered concerning the descendants of two Irish families which became allied in 1737 by the marriage of the Rev. Andrew Nixon with Marianne French. The various families detailed on pp. 83-127, are descended from that marriage. The Pubic Record Office contains evidence of the existence of many other persons of the names of French and Nixon, who, from the localities in which they lived, were very probably of the same stock, but as no proof of their relationship has been forthcoming, as a rule they have not been mentioned in the book. It has been found necessary to condense the work as much as possible, and to leave out some biographical details which might have been inserted. I have tried in most instances to give chiefly those which come from unfamiliar sources. The evidence for the earlier generations in the 17th and 18th centuries is in almost every case clear and complete. In the very few instances where the exact connection of certain persons with the family has not been discovered, due mention has been made of the fact. For the details regarding the later generations I have to thank a host of correspondents. In some cases information could not be obtained. I have to acknowledge assistance derived from the genealogical works of Foster and Burke. It would be quite impossible to name all those who have helped me, but my thanks are specially due to Mrs. Blake, Mrs. Izod, Mrs. Oakes, Mrs. J. H. Pigot, Mrs. F. J. B.Priestley, Miss Saxby, Mrs. H. B. Stanford, Mr. G. D. Burtchaell, Dr. Crone, Major Crookshank, Dr. F. C. Crossle, Mr. P. Crossle, Major Gore Little, Mr. E. Higinbotham, Lieut.-Colonel G. H. Johnston, Mr. W. T. Kyle, Mr. 0. F. D. Nixon, Mr. W. Jackson Pigott, Mr. Henry F.Reynolds, Capt. Spedding, the Rev. W.B. Stanford, and Mr. Erskine West for information constantly and freely given. Some further assistance is acknowledged in the foot-notes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
