Book Description

Excerpt from History of Richard Bourne and Some of His Descendants This book has been written with the knowledge that it is not free from mistakes or errors. Such exemption can hardly be expected of a work of this kind. But as far as it has been possible, it is a truthful and accurate history of richard bourne and some of his many descendants. It may be that each reader can supply for himself some of the missing dates of births, deaths, and marriages. I have had the use of letters, deeds, and other manuscripts belonging to members of the Bourne family, for whose courtesies I am much indebted. It has also been my good fortune to obtain copies from old daguerreotypes. This 'volume now goes out with the editor's best wishes to all the Bourne family.
