Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History and Genealogy of the Descendants of John Lawrence Hester and Godfrey Stough: 1752-1905
In scanning this history there is nothing to bring the blush of shame to our cheeks.
Nowhere have I learned that any member of these families has ever been convicted of any crime or dishonest act.
On the contrary the proof is abundant that at all times all the members of these families have been honest, industrious, sober, patriotic people.
Many of them have been leaders in religious, patriotic and good works for their fellow men; and many of them being de voted ministers and members of the Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, Quaker and other Protestant churches.
We should have known nothing of many of these in this world had it not been for this work. Some of them have passed into the life beyond, where it is hoped that all who remain may meet and greet each other and them throughout the eternal ages.
