\ X TITHOUT knowing originally that there were any established rules governing Genealogy or V V the line of descent, my brother Jacob and I started out years ago to collect the Family Record of our numerous clan, for our own gratification, and the wish to know from whom we were descended, without having the remotest idea that such research would ever result in a book. Because of the indifference of so many who were appealed to for information-they "caring for none of these things"-our efforts at co1Iecling records soon subsided, and for a score of years remained dormant. In the meantime, my brother removed to the west, and in 1871, by a strange providence, found a lost branch of our family, that had been missing for over forty years. The ex­ citement caused by this interesting circumstance fairly galvanized me, and I determined to "try, try again,'' my aim being to collect all records as far back as Grand-parents, paternal· and maternal. The result appears in the two Genealogical Trees. The data collected was copious, and seemed much too valuable to be fost, hence a book was suggested to .my mind, as the most suitable way of preserving it for posterity. My aim has been facts, plainly stated for all who are interested. Photography being a recent art, but few old and rare pictures were available ; time will, how­ ever, soon make the Jiving ones rare. Many persons delayed in sending in their Photo's, which has caused some derangement. "To err is human." If dates or names are wrong, let each owner of the book correct them promptly and neatly. The index to the names under the Photo's is to aid the reader to certain identity; being written in a small hand, they are not brought out clearly. The reader will understand how to accept the editor's portraiture of the writer. I am greatly indebted to kindred far and near, for urbanity and promptness in aiding my efforts in the collection of a record so full and complete. I would make special mention of cousin Maggie J. Pyle, of Kennett Square, who collected many records, and wrote out in detail the first form· of the McFarlan-Heald Genealogy ; Gilbert Cope, of West Chester, Genealogist ; Dr. Geo. Smith, of Darby, the historian of Delaware County; Wm. B. Hollingsworth, deceased, of Baltimore, Md.; George Bowles, of Lloydville, Ohio; my brother, J. T. Stern, and his daughter, the late Etta R. Milliman, of Logan, Iowa; cousin Edith Newlin, of Wilmington, Delaware; Allen Gawthrop, the artist of the "Trees and Home Views," of Wilmington, Del.; Lewis Marshall and his wife, (the editor) of Northbrook, for valuable servic;:es; Dr. Pusey Heald, of Wilmington, Del.; Albert Cum­ mins, of Frankland, Del.; I. P. McFar]an, and his daughter Ida, of Kennett ; Jacob Painter, deceased, of Delaware County, Pa.; Samuel Marlin, of Kennett Square; Thomas F. Seal, of Union- ·- ville, Chester County, Pa.; to many Friend's Records; The Historical Society of Penn'a, in Phila.; and many more good, hearty helpers, we say, a thousand thanks! Conscious of many imper:.. fections, I crave the forbearance of our numerous and increasing posterity for whom I have spent many weary hours in the preparation of this book. C. S.

INTRODUCTION.

BOUT one-third of a century ago, I received a letter from my brother Cyrus Stern, of Wil­ A mington, Delaware, saying he would like to get up a record of the Stern FamiJy, for three or four generations, and asking my assistance in the enterprise. I was very proud of his ambition, and consented to render any assistance in my power. But fearing his enthusiasm might· bring dis­ appointment upon himself, I ventured (wisely as I thought) to caution him not to expect that we might get the work accomplished that year (1851). Indeed, my idea was at that lime, that at least two or three years might elapse before the work could be finished. A whole generation of men have passed away since then. I may say, that for my own part, I soon tired out and gave up, but continued to hope that my brother would go on, as I most heartily approved of the work. In all that long time, he (although engaged in business as clothier) has never lost sight of his favorite project. And by indomitable energy and industry, has almost alone, collected and prepared this valuable record of our kindred. The amount of labor in a work of this kind can scarcely be appreciated by one who is not in some way connected with its preparation. Its value needs no elucidation-it speaks for itself. To expect that a genealogist can ever be paid for his labor in dollars and cents, is utopian. Very few, indeed, are found willing to sacrifice themselves for the pleasure of posterity. I look upon the work of a genealogist as purely a labor of love, worthy of an imperishable monument. JACOB T. STERN, LOGAN, lowA.
