His descendants are carried down for three generations making a total of eight generations described through detailed biographical notices of prominent family members. The genealogy ends at the beginning of the twentieth century. The appendices cover the grant of crest, will extracts, baptisms, family Bible records and mortgage records, along with a story by Mary Fosdick, A Minute-Man.
