Excerpt from Book II. Of the Family of John Stone, One of the First Settlers of Guilford, Conn: Also Names of All the Descendents of Russell, Bille, Timothy and Eber Stone N 1890 my uncle, S. D. Lewis of Warsaw, N. Y., prepared and published a genealogy of my mother's family, entitled Book XVIII Lewis Family Geneal ogy. From reading that book, I discovered that I knew very little about my own family ancestry, and as my mother was alive at that time, I commenced mak ing inquiries of her and my aunt, Lois (stone) Tilton, they being the oldest persons then alive in our family. I found that they knew very little in regard to the family history. I determined then that I would give the matter what study I could (which has been at odd times and evenings, as I am a busy man with very lit tle time that I can call my own). However, the study instead of being an irksome task, has proven to be a pleasant pastime. And while I had no idea at first of publishing the work in book form, from being urged by friends and relatives of the family who ofiered to contribute towards the expense, I have done so. In preparing this genealogy for the family (as it is of very little interest to any one not a member of the family), I have entered upon the task with a sincere desire to avoid doing injustice to any one, whether a member of the family or otherwise. There must be many errors in a work of this kind, but when I have received dates of births, deaths, etc., of the same family by different persons, and they have disagreed, I have written some member of the family to correct them. So if you find errors, do not chargeviii preface. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
