ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
The author wishes to acknowledge the great assistance he has received
from the New England Historic Genealogical Society, of which he has been
a member for twenty-eight years,--whose library consisting of
biographies and genealogies is the most complete in America. Other
authorities consulted, have been the "Royalist" records in the original
manuscript preserved in the archives of the State of Massachusetts, the
Record Commissioners' Reports of the City of Boston, the Proceedings of
the Massachusetts Historical Society, and the numerous town histories,
and ancient records published in recent years, to the most important of
which he has acknowledged his obligations in the reference given, and
also to the Boston Athenaeum for the use of their paintings and
engravings, in making copies of same.
He also wishes to acknowledge the assistance rendered him by his
daughter, Mildred Manton Stark, in preparing many of the biographies,
also the assistance rendered by Mr. Thomas F. O'Malley, who prepared the
very copious index to this work, which will, he thinks be appreciated by
all historical students who may have occasion to use same.
