Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Book of the Wilders: A Contribution to the History of the Wilders, From 1497, in England, to the Emigratin of Martha, a Widow, and Her Family to Massachusetts Bay, in 1638, and So, Through Her Family Down to 1875, With a Genealogical Table
I have found that records are not always reliable, Town records often differ from the records in the old family Bible, which must be presumed to be correct. In one instance, I had the family record from the father and again from the mother, and the dates differing materially. When the children and grandchildren have given their statements of the families that have gone before them, they are not always in the order of their birth, and the dates are often defective and it should not seem strange that many errors should creep into a work that has depended much on such testimony. Great care has been taken to make the Tables as correct as possible, and it is believed that very few essential errors will be found.
