Description:.... In accordance with this arrangement the work was commenced, and the first eighteen pages of the said pamphlet, almost entire, will appear in the new work. During the past two years the compiler has put forth persevering efforts to collect, in a thorough manner, the records of the numerous branches of this great family, and he desires to say that he has received hearty co-operation and assistance from many who have manifested a deep interest in the movement, and, without personal mention, would extend his sincere thanks to all such, and to those, also, who have made the work interesting by liberally contributing the means to illustrate it with valuable portraits.The general arrangement of the work is the same as the arrangement in the pamphlet of Mr. Clarke. Genealogical works have become numerous, and they appear in different forms, but the compiler has seen no form that he prefers to this.The records are presented in the order of the generations, and families of the same generation appear in connection in the book. The descendants are numbered in the regular order of descent, from the first to the last, and this descendant number is found on the right hand side of the page; and when any descendant becomes the head of a family the descendant number is placed before the name of that person, in connection with his family record, on the left hand side, and in its new location may appropriately be called the family number. Thus, if the reader desires to know anything more of a descendant in a future direction, he will turn forward until he finds his descendant number on the left; or, if he desires to see the record of the family of this descendant's father, he will note his family number and turn back until he finds this number on the right. Thus the book, in its general arrangement, is an index to itselfThe compiler designs to give the birthplace and parentage oJ each descendant, not by having these facts appear with his name in connection with his own family record, but by referring to the record of his father's family, especially when the children were all born in the same place. But there are some instances where birthplace was not given, and of course must be omitted. There are difficulties connected with the production of a genealogical work, which none, but those who have had experience in it, can fully know. The information, especially the later records, must be obtained by correspondence. Many letters must be written. Some will be promptly answered while others will remain unanswered, and a second, and sometimes a third, must be sent before the desired information comes, if it comes at all. Meanwhile the compiler hopefully, and patiently, must wait. With all the care and scrutiny that he car command to make the dates correct, there still will be some errors. Different members of the same family have sent to the compiler different birthdates of the same person. One of these must be used, it may be the right one, or it may be the wrong— 5 —one, he must use his own discretion and let it pass in that way.It may be appropriate to express a thought in regard to the spelling of the Clark name. By some of the descendants of the same ancestor it is spelled with the iinal e, and by others without it. Even the name of Thomas Clarke is spelled both ways. On his gravestone it appears without the final e, also in the name of Clark's Island. But this different spelling is not confined to the Clark name alone. Burk, Kirk, Wild, Wait, Brown, and others are spelled with the final e, as well as without it, and yet the identity of the name is not questioned. It seems to be a matter of taste more than of essentiality.In this work, the female branches of descent are traced, as fully and as extensively as the male branches.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
