John Grosvenor of Roxbury, Mass


Book Description

Excerpt from John Grosvenor of Roxbury, Mass: His Family and Ancestry In April, 1918, The New England Historical and Genealogical Register published an article entitled The English Home and Ancestry of John Grosvenor of Roxbury, Mass, in which the writer, Mr. Daniel Kent, effectually dispelled some of the mists in which romanticized tradition had previously enshrouded this subject. The aim of this booklet is to shed further light upon the problem, and in that light to re-interpret some of the facts which, though familiar, have been sadly misunderstood. As a prelimi nary, a brief account of the man and his immediate family will be given. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
