History and Genealogy of Deacon Joseph Eastman of Hadley, Mass;, Grandson of Roger Eastman of Salisbury, Mass (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from History and Genealogy of Deacon Joseph Eastman of Hadley, Mass;, Grandson of Roger Eastman of Salisbury, Mass
I am not going to write a lengthy preface, but will just tell you how I started in on this work. First, I found a package of old and yellowed papers, tied carefully together, which, on opening, I found to be the Key to the answer to a question I had often asked my father when I was a child; it was, Haven't you some cousins, papa? (none were ever known to me.) His answer always was what a busy man's usually is, and suggested he didn't have time to explain, Yes, lots of them, but they're away out West.
By the contents of this package I found father had four uncles and three aunts who married. That suggested there might have been lots of cousins, and I made the endeavor to find out about them and succeeded far beyond my expecta tion. You will find the result if you begin at the family of Benjamin2 and follow it out. Only one own cousin of his was then (1903) living. In that search Mr. Rix helped me, as he has also helped in the records of this book by compiling and sending me all that he had of this branch of the family. I have added many new ones found in the last six months, and where corrections were sent have corrected if they were not previously done by Mr. Rix.
