Book Description

Excerpt from Descendants of Philip McIntire, a Scottish Highlander Who Was Deported by Oliver Cromwell Following the Battle of Dunbar, September 3, 1650, and Settled at Reading, Mass., About 1660 Since it is his intention to continue his researches in order to obtain a more nearly complete record of the family and in time to print an appendix containing such additions, the compiler is anxious to enlist the cooperation of all descendants, especially of those whose family records are now incomplete. While every effort has been made to simplify the arrangement of the genealogical facts which are presented in this volume, a word of explanation may be helpful. The marginal numbers which precede the names of some of the children indicate that more extended accounts of these descendants appear later in the records. The small exponents are generation numbers. The abbreviations which are used in this volume are generally em ployed by most genealogists and include: abt. - about; d. Died without issue; int. - intention of marriage; q.v. - which see; res - resided; and s.b. - stillborn. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
