Excerpt from The Leland Magazine, or a Genealogical Record of Henry Leland, and His Descendants: Containing an Account of Nine Thousand Six Hundred and Twenty-Four Persons, in Ten Generations, and Embracing Nearly Every Person of the Name of Leland in America, From 1653 to 1850 The better to accomplish this object the tabular form has been adopted, thus greatly facilitating the case and readiness with which any line of descent in the family can be traced. This, together with the full index inserted in the book, will make it eminently convenient for reference. It is hoped that the convenience thus resulting will more than compensate for the much greater expense of this mode of publication. The plates which appear in the Magazine, have been procured and inserted, with the kind consent of such as are living, and of the near relatives of such as have deceased, of those whom the plates represent. These, it is believed, will both contribute to the appropriate embellishment of the work, and prove a source of pleasure and interest to the numerous family connexions, whose friends may, in this way, be specially called to remembrance. The sketches of the lives of individuals and families, introduced in the work, may be relied upon as accurate, having, in all instances, been prepared by those who know that whereof they affirm, and the accounts are as full as the materials and circumstances would allow. There are, undoubtedly, many others equally worthy of notice with those of whom special mention has been made. It will be sufii cient apology, that such are passed in silence, to let it be known, that the requisite information could not be obtained to give even a sketch of their history. The author gratefully acknowledges his obligations to the numerous friends, who in great kindness and accommodation, have furnished him with the information indispensable to the accomplishment of his work. While correctness has been aimed at, it is not presumed that all errors have been avoided. It is hoped, however, they will be found to be few and unimportant, and such as will be readily pardoned by all who can, in any measure.
