Excerpt from Genealogical Gleanings in England, Vol. 1: Part SecondThe late Col. Joseph L. Chester, in a letter written the year before his death to the Editor of the register (register, xxxvi. Says that he had carried about with him daily for many years a bit of pedigree of Harvard in the hope of being able to perfect it, that he thought he had found the will of the father of John Harvard, but could not yet prove it, that he disliked to put forward a mere theory, but hoped to come upon further evidence some day.At a meeting of the New England Historic Genealogical Society held in Boston, June 3, 1885, a paper by Miss Frances B. James of Cambridge, Mass, was read, on John Harvard's English Home, a Caveat in Behalf of Devonshire. It contained the results of some researches made by her in the summer of 1883, in Plymtree, co. Devon, England, where there formerly lived a family of Harward or Harvard, but no claim was made by her that any relationship could be shown to exist between this family and that of John Harvard.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
