Ezra Reed and Esther Edgerton: Their Life and Ancestry

4.9/5 (20024 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Ezra Reed and Esther Edgerton: Their Life and Ancestry The writer of this brief historical sketch is one of the forty-five grandchildren of Ezra Reed and Esther Edgerton, and beside the historical interest in the subject he has the added personal interest; a something that is of the blood. But no excuse is needed, however imperfectly the work be done, for the effort to save for future generations some knowledge of their ancestry which would otherwise be lost, or at least would not be easily accessible to them. With this thought in mind, and with the hope that it will stimulate others to add to this nucleus of knowledge, I have here compiled information which has reached me during the lapse of years from various sources, mostly in fragmentary form, concerning the ancestors of this couple. To be intelligently understood it should be conned with the accompanying chart outspread before the reader. It also occurs to me that as the children of this couple have long since passed away, and I, one of the younger of the grandchildren, have reached my three score and ten, it is time some little tribute should be written of them, and of the beautiful valley where they spent the years of their strength; something if possible which shall form for future generations of their descendants a picture of their life, and of the times in which they lived. It is fitting, too, that I should leave this as a companion piece with the book already published, "Caleb Benton and Sarah Bishop: Their Ancestors and Their Descendants." Let them be my parting tribute to those whose blood I inherit, as well as my salute to the generations to come. The view of the Reed homestead shown in the frontispiece is from a recent photograph, showing the house as it appears at the present time. I am indebted to so many for assistance in collecting material that I shall not attempt to name them here, but they all have my hearty thanks for their efficient encouragement.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
