In this volume are presented the genealogies of Bristol. The author
has sought to include every family that ever resided within the
limits of the town; and while this has not been possible the result
has been that the following pages contain the records of 368 family
names; more than 1,500 families and over 12,000 individual names.
The statistics here presented have been gathered from every
available source-from family records, printed genealogies,
tombstones, records of deeds and wills, church records, and records
of clergymen officiating at funerals and marriages; a few from the
meagre vital statistics of the town, and many by extensive
correspondence with widely scattered former residents, and by
personal interviews. The difficulties of its compilation makes the
value of the work more apparent. In all cases the aim has been to
give the line of descent from the earliest known ancestor to the
first settlement of the family in the territory now known as
Bristol, and from that time to give a full record to the present,
if the family continues to reside in town. In case of removal the
children and in many cases the grandchildren of natives and
residents are given after having left town. In but few cases has
more than this been attempted. From the nature of the case these
records must be imperfect and errors will appear. They are not
complete for the work of the genealogist is never finished; changes
are constantly occurring. In the appendix is given the records of
births, marriages and deaths that occurred while this volume was in
press, in order to bring the volume up to date, but even while the
index was in preparation several deaths occurred of which no record
could be made. This work is intended to be strictly genealogical
and in no sense biographical. All the genealogical data obtainable
has been given in each case, with very brief additional
information. Only in the case of a few distinguished public men has
anything more than this been given. --March, 1904
