Ancestral Colonial Families
Ancestral Colonial Families GENEALOGY of THE WELSH AND HYATT FAMILIES OF MARYLAND AND THEIR KIN; Giving The Colonial Generations of The Howard, Hammond, Maccubbin, Griffith, Greenberry, Dorsey, Van Sweringen, Baldwin, Gaither, Warfield and Duvall Families. By LUTHER W. WELSH, A. M., M. D., Kansas City, Mo. Lambert Moon Printing Co. Independence, Mo. 1928 PREFACE. The writing of this ibook has been a labor of love to its author. The families given, with probably one exception, are his own ancestral families, and ,as such he has studied them with a regard for accuracy not always found in works of unrelated professionals. It is not pos sible to avoid all error in a work of this kind, from inadvertence or limited information, but it is believed such errors have been reduced to the minimum. The author will gladly welcome corrections. In the "Genealogy of the Welsh and Hy,att Families" he has sought to conserve in permanent form the many records he has gath ered in the research of years, many of which otherwise would become pevmanently lost to these families. The intrinsic value of genealogy, ihowever, fromJ the biologioal standpoint, does not lie in any one or two ancestral sources, but in all the elements that have contributed to the formation of the individual life and character. Hence, in the "Colonial Generations of Kindred Families," is given something of the origin and early history of these families-all of whom have been notivbly prominent in Md. history-whose blood strains have entered into and become a component part of the life-stream of almost all of the in dividual families who are represented herein.
