Ebook Isaac Cummings, 1601-1677 of Ipswich in 1638

This compilation makes no effort to appear as a literary work, but my sole endeavor has been to gather together as much of the records of the descendants of Isaac Cummings, the emigrant, as could be found during the time I have been engaged in its compil ation. Also, to insert only such as bore evidence that they were reli able and correct, not doubting that errors would be included. No person who has not made an attempt to trace a line of genealogy can conceive the obstacles to be encountered. The first records made in the early settlement are of a very crude, superficial character, and difficult to find.
