Xr:\IBERS, II. :2. PREFACE. " Thz:,; shall be written for the generations to coine."-PsALMS, cii, rS. In 1897 the compiler of this little work issued a volume called Genealogical Memoranda of the Quisenberry Family and Othe~ Families, which contained all that could be found in the Virginia records, and elsewhere, concerning the early history of the Quisenberry family in America, together with a good deal of more modern data relating to it. At that time, however, nothing was known or could be learned concerning the European antecedents of the family, though there was one item of information showing that people of the name had lived in London, England, about two hundred and thirty years ago. In October, 1898, through the kindness of that able genealogist, Mr. George W. :Montague, of Northampton, Massachusetts, I received a_clue which I have untiringly and persistently followed, at considerable expense; and, although there is yet much to be desired, still the success that has crowned my efforts has not been inconsiderable. I have secured copies of German and English records (all reproduced in this book) which show conclusively that our name was known in England as the name of an Englishman as early as 1468, and in Germany certainly as early as 1380, at which time it was, no doubt, already a very ancient name. It is much to be regretted that, owing to hiatuses in both the German and the English records, a lineal descent, abso lutely undeniable from first to last, could not be established. But, taking the undeniable facts in conjunction with other 4 :\.IEllORIALS OF THE QUISE:XBERRY FAMILY facts that may be reasonably deduced from them, I have been able to piece together a constructi\-e lineai descent that seems about perfect in theory. A known descent of honorable .people from r380 to rgoo-fixe hundred and twenty years is, indeed, a very fair record, and it is one that the Quisenberry family of to-day may unresen·edly claim. I wish to place on record here the expression of my sincerest thanks to those who, without fee, have given me so great assistance in collecting data for this work. J. M. Cowper, Esq., of Canterbury, England, who has rendered his own country and ours invaluable service in the various books he has published, examined for me the ancient municipal records of Canterbury, covering centuries, as well as the church registers of that city, and many others besides. \\That he did involved a great amount of very exacting toil and care, but he did it all with a gentle and untiring courtesy for which I must be deeply grateful while life lasts. ~fr. H. Mapleton Chapman very kindly examined for me the wills still preserved in Canterbury. Rev. A.. P. l\Iorris, vicar of Leeds, Kent, whose registers have furnished some of the most important data in this work, also went to extraordinary pains to show me courtesy, a fact which must e\·er be gratefully remembered. It ,vill greatly interest my American readers to k_now that l\Ir. :Morris is the grandson of l\iary Phillipse, of New York, who married l\'lajor Roger l\Iorris of the British army, after haYing rejected George \Vashingtou-a fact which ,ye have all read in biographies of \Vashington.
