A Word of Introduction I have had this book published to the memory of my father, Roswell Parish, who compiled the material over a period of more than 50 years. He retired at 70, lived to be 92 years old, and the last 20 years of his life were spent almost entirely in gathering together this genea logy of the descendants of John Parish, also a much larger one of the descendants of Richard (Bull) Smith of Smithtown, L. I., forebears on his mother's side. The beginnings of this material came from family records and as dates and new names were added from various publications and as discrepancies and occasional errors appeared, the gathering and arranging of what seemed reliable material, especially of dates, became an interest ing avocation with a view to a more correct and compre hensive record of John's descendants. For purpose of cross reference and indexing, but with no suspicion then of its peculiar advantages, the following was very early adopted as a convenient :r-rUMBER SYSTEM. The children of every family were numbered from 1 up as listed, but in cases of more than nine children "a" was used for 10, "b" for 11, etc. A capital letter was used for the founder (in this case J. for John) and name numbers for successive members of the group were formed by annexing their respective family numbers (1-2-3, etc.) to the name number of the parent. Thus the first John's son Samuel is J.2-Mary is J.b. Benjamin's son Benjamin is J.31. It was found that these ui A Word of Introduction name numbers were very useful for reference and as time-savers. Thus the number of digits and letters tells the generation of the person designated. J.93a. was of the fourth generation. Moreover that name number not only names Abraham Parish hut also contains the name number of his successive ancestors in a line back to John! So much for this number system. The material has been brought through the eighth generation, as that should bring it far enough for other lines, either direct or indirect, to be connected with the genealogy, if the connection is there. We are indebted to all those who were kind enough to give their assist ance in the preparation of this material, many of whom will be found listed at the beginning of the book. Their co-operation has extended !n many cases over long periods of time and their generous interest has been of ·great help. ROSWELL PARISH, JR.
