This genealogy is a study in the old world as well as the new.
Extensive references have been given, countless books have been
consulted, nearly all procured from New England Historical and
Genealogical Society, and to "Colonial Families," compiled by the
New York Historical Society. The author depended on printed
records, and when authorities differed, a conclusion was reached by
critical comparison and the weighing of evidence. Many family
records never printed before have been used. Mrs. Rixford, a noted
genealogist and author of several works, including "Three Hundred
Colonial Ancestors and War Service," has traced from Cerdic, first
of the West Saxon Kings, 495, through Alfred the Great, 849, Robert
Bruce, King of Scotland, King Henry I, II and III, King Edward I,
II and III, also many other royal lines through Charlemagne, Louis
I, Earls of Warren, Dukes of Normandy, Royal House of Portugal,
House of Capet, Counts of Anjou, Kings of Jerusalem, and many other
royal families too numerous to name. She has also included several
Mayflower lines connected to all members of the Vermont Society of
Mayflower Descendants, who are direct descendants of these lines.
Those with ancestry to the Earls of Warren have been connected up
to the royal families. The book also includes the ancestry of Gen.
George Washington, the first President of the United States, traced
back 1,000 years to the Earl of Orkney Isles, the founder of the
Washington family. It also contains the ancestry of Gen. Nathaniel
Greene, who ranked next in military fame to George Washington.
