We think of them waiting for the call to arms, Fighting to save their families and farms; We picture the furrow where the dropped plough lies, The women watching them go with quiet eyes. Is it because they died so many springs Ago that we forget the other things They did from day to day? They must have wept, Laughed, talked of the future. I think they kept Their dreams tended as gently as their corn, And planned great things for children yet unborn. And as I watch the spring unfold each year, I think that they held beauty almost as dear As freedom. The battle won, they heeded her command, And planted dogwood in their promised land. DOROTHY JOSLIN ©1976 Introduction Our Family and its Many Branches is genealogy of an entire family, admittedly as yet incomplete. It is the genealogy of the various branches, also incomplete. In order to give focus as to who are members of the family it was necessary to establish who the ultimate legatees of the genealogy, as published in 1988, would be. Those legatees are the grandchildren of the preparer of this genealogy - Sarah Michael Townsend, Eliza Raye Sutfin and Michael Parker Sutfin. They are related to all the branches here included, though the relationship may be one by affinity (marriage) as well as consanguinity (blood). Immediate or direct lines in a genealogy are relatively simple. Starting with the ultimate subject the child we go to the parents (two in number) - the grandparents (four in number) - the great grandparents (eight in number) and progressively back through the generations. The geometric progression back, genealogically speaking, back to the 12th Century (1100-1200 a.d.) would count for 33,554, 432 ancestors. The total population of England did not exceed two million in the year 1100 a.d. Each forbearer at that period, and in the subseguent two or three centuries must be counted over and over. We have established charts for each family unit (father, mother, and children) and the same family unit may appear in more than one of the branches, thus, their chart number will depend upon which family grouping they appear. What is clear from a reading of this genealogy is that there are many gaps in the family units reported, and there is an absence entirely of certainly family lines that should be reported. The failure to report them as of this date is for the lack of information - l - about them - not an unwillingness to include them in the genealogy. At the annual meeting of the Federation of Genealogical Societies held in August, 1988 in Boston, MA it was strongly urged that one does not wait until his genealogy is completed - for it never will be. New family lines will constantly be added, in an unending roll of history. As incomplete as this genealogy is we are publishing it with invitations for additions to it and invite attention to any errors, unintentionally, made. C. E.
