Ten years ago, the author in examining the rec ords of the town of Ipswich, Mass, found the record of a grant of land to Edmund Sayward in 1634. He became interested to find whether he was a deseen dant of this man.

During his vacations, the records of towns, coun ties, courts, deeds, families and tombstones have been examined; aged people have been consulted; and every story and legend concerning the early members of the family, that has come to the author's knowledge, has been weighed and compared with the broken and deficient records, until the following history has been wrought out.
