Excerpt from Greene (Green) Family of Plymouth Colony All men honor these aristocrats whose seals are on the Great Charter, as well as the humbler God-fearing men who signed the compact, these all builded better than they knew. If you ever boast the possession of their blood, see that it may be said of you, (though in a narrower field), you too have lived to honor God, and tried to bless mankind. I will insert a chart showing the line of descent from the Barons of Runnemede. I have not asked for portraits or illustrations, but shall be glad to receive any to extra illustrate my own copy with pictures of my kindred, and I will also be glad to have corrections and additions. I give you the result of my labors knowing that there are errors and believing they will be overlooked. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Memorial of the Walkers of the Old Plymouth Colony: Embracing Genealogical and Biographical Sketches The more one studies history, and races, and families, the more must he be convinced of the marked and permanent influence of blood. Despite all the crossings by intermarriages, every goncalo gist has marked, and marvelled at the continuance, from generation to generation, of some particular type of character, that was visible in the earliest known ancestor. This fact has been strikingly illus trated in the descendants of many of the early Pilgrim, or Puritan colonists. To read aright the lesson of human history, to reach wise and safe generalizations, one must not forget the law of descent, and the force there is in blood or race. Religion does not run in the blood of that family, said' an aged but observing man, as a vicious youth passed him. I have known the family for several genera tions, but I have never known any among them who gave evidence of piety. - The qualities and forces of the character do run in the blood, and whether good or bad, are propagated, and pass down through successive generations. In some families, the parents, and the ancestors, back to an early period, have been marked by moral and christian excellence. The family of the elder Edwards is an illustration of this law and force of Blood. His ancestors, for many generations, were eminent for religious worth. And his numerous progeny have, with few exceptions, flourished by reason of the lively sap sent up from the good root. Wherever they are found, they are characterized by the moral qualities, and illustrate, in no small degree, the spirit of their illustrious and godly ancestor. And this force of Blood, is just as visible in the transmission of evil qualities, giving to sbme families, through long periods. A bad eminence, perpetuating a type of character, with which, religion or intelligence are rarely, if ever, united.

Excerpt from George Morton: Of Plymouth Colony and Some of His Descendants George Morton was one of the founders of the colony of New Plymouth in Massachusetts, having been of that company of Puritans who left England in the early part of the seventeenth century, found a brief asylum in Holland, and came to America to establish a Christian state. The causes leading to the settlement of Plymouth are so well set forth by Nathaniel Morton, a son of George Morton, in "New England's Memorial," that his statement may well introduce this record of a part, of the family which thus came to be founded in America. He says, in beginning what has been justly called the corner stone of New England history: "In the year 1602 divers Godly Christians of our English nation, in the North of England, being studious of reformation, and therefore not only witnessing against human inventions, and additions in the worship of God, but minding most the positive and practical part of divine institutions, they entered into covenant to walk with God, and one with another, in the enjoyment of the ordinances of God, according to the primitive pattern of the word of God. But finding by experience they could not peaceably enjoy their own liberty in their native country, without offense to others that were differently minded, they took up thoughts of removing themselves and their families into the Netherlands, which accordingly they endeavored to accomplish, but met with great hindrance; yet after some time the good hand of God removing obstructions, they thus obtained their desires; arriving in Holland, they settled themselves in the city of Leyden in the year 1610, and there they continued divers years in a comfortable condition, enjoying much sweet society and spiritual comfort in the ways of God, living peaceably amongst themselves, and being courteously entertained and lovingly respected by the Dutch, amongst whom they were strangers, having for their pastor Mr. John Robinson, a man of a learned, polished and modest spirit, pious and studying of the truth, largely accomplished with suitable gifts and qualifications to be a shepherd over this flock of Christ; having also a fellow helper with him in the eldership, Mr. William Brewster, a man of approved piety, gravity and integrity, very eminently furnished with gifts suitable to such an office." This simple description of the beginning of a momentous movement gives but a faint hint of the severity of the conflict for religious freedom which began at the little village of Scrooby. There, in the drawing room of William Brewster at Scrooby Manor, was formed that independent congragationalist church, under the leadership of John Robinson, numbering among its members that grave young man, William Bradford, later to become a brother-in-law of George Morton, and for thirty years the gov New England's Memorial, etc., by Nathaniel Morton.
