Description
Excerpt from Genealogy of the Descendants of John Eliot, Apostle to the Indians, 1598-1905
Ince the publication of the Genealogy of the Eliot Fam ily, compiled by William H. Eliot, In, before 1854, one or more unsuccessful attempts have been made to issue another edition. It was not, however, until the second gathering Of the descendants of John Eliot at Natick in July, 1901, that a definite step was taken in the appointment of a committee, who have since pursued their labor of love for nearly four years. The result is in your hands to-day, and we respectfully commit it to your interest and to your leniency. Although great pains have been taken to secure all the Eliot lines, we regret to say that a few have either not been reached or have not responded. Likewise we have sought to ensure accuracy of dates, though this is not always possible, as authorities differ.
For this reason contemporaneous records, as far as possible, have been used rather than those made and copied years after wards. Those who have the first book will note that with the exception of the Genealogy proper we have not incorporated much of the Old material, thus leaving that book still valuable for many purposes. The addition of the family of Bennett Eliot, now known as the Apostle''s father, will prove Of interest to many. The interest on the part of the descendants of many female lines has been so great that we have ventured to extend some Of these lines far beyond the usual limits, and we hope that they will be lenient towards the errors which must of necessity creep in through the effort to disentangle so large a mass of material.
