'ffiH IS work was begun in 1871, but after some fifteen months of labor, ~ was laid aside because of the pressure of other duties. In January, 1886, it was again taken up, and the work done thus far is here presented. Following the tradition of my family, that Connecticut was the early home of my ancestors, investigation was made in that direction, and a large amount of material gathered, when the unreliability of the tradition became evident. A study of the first four generations of al I tlie various fam i I ies of the name then followed, and the right line found. It seemed that the results of that study might be of use to some future student, if they were placed in an accessible form. The hope that this might be the case is the excuse for the first hundred pages of the text. It is only too evident that many lines in the Salem family have been dropped. This has been from inability to trace them in the time allotted for the work. It seemed that the book must be published this spring or not for several years. This mu~~ be the excuse for the incompleteness. It is the expectation to pub I ish some time in the future, an enlarged and revised history of the Salem family of Thomas Cole, and in anticipation thereof cor­ respondence is solicited, with a view to making the work complete. It may not come for five years, nor for twenty-five, but if time and strength and length of days are granted, it will come. The published matter relating to the families has been heely used, and in most cases credit given. The list of those who have aided in gathering material, and who have helped with encouraging words, is too long for insertion. Thanks are given to them all. Those who might have supplied information, but neglected to answer the letters of inquiry, are not aware how much disappointment they have caused us. We ask better treatment for the next genealogist who writes to them. The list of those who have encouraged us by their subscriptions will be found at the close of the volume.

  • Ancestry of George W. Bush Compiled by William Addams Reitwiesner
    Ancestry of George W. Bush (b. 1946) Page 1 of 150 Ancestry of George W. Bush compiled by William Addams Reitwiesner The following material on the immediate ancestry of George W. Bush was initially compiled from two sources: The ancestry of his father, President George Bush, as printed in Gary Boyd Roberts, Ancestors of American Presidents, First Authoritative Edition [Santa Clarita, Cal.: Boyer, 1995], pp. 121-130. The ancestry of his mother, Barbara Bush, based on the unpublished work of Michael E. Pollock, [email protected]. The contribution of the undersigned consists mostly in collating and renumbering the material cited above, adding considerable information from the decennial censuses and elsewhere, and HTML-izing the results. The relationships to other persons (see the NOTES section below) are intended to be illustrative rather than exhaustive, and are taken mostly from Mr. Roberts' Notable Kin and Ancestors of American Presidents books, with extensions, where appropriate, from John Young's American Reference Genealogy and from my own, generally unpublished, research. This page can be found at two places on the World Wide Web, first at http://hometown.aol.com/wreitwiesn/candidates2000/bush.html and again at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~addams/presidential/bush.html.

In searching out the pedigrees of various ancestors, I became highly interested in the life of my great-grandfather, Dr. Anderson Irvin Grigg. I do not know just when I became inspired to collect the family rec­ ords of the doctor's ancestors and descendants and compile them into a book with anecdotes, pictures and history for the benefit of his ever increasing posterity-many of whom owe their opportunities of living in this choice western land to this valiant, wise and farsighted little doctor. Dr. Grigg and his sons and daughters were not num­ bered among the earliest pioneers of Utah. But, like many other Mormon families, theY were in the frontier settlements reclaiming the arid land, e{1during the hardships and priva­ tions of pioneer living; fighting against cold, disease, inade­ quate housing, poor rations and meagre clothing. The lack of proper tools and mechanical power did not stay them from hueing down the timber, tilling the soil and building homes.

George Griswold, and of his granddaughter Susannah Lynde to Ensign Thomas Griswold, the Lord and Griswold families, in several of their branches, have the blood of the Lyndes and the Digbys. The two following monographs are memorials of these two distinguished families. Mr. Simon Lynde, father of Judge Nathaniel Lynde, removed from London to Boston in 1650. The family-records that he brought over, or received after his emigration, enabled his son Chief Justice Benjamin Lynde, and his grandson the second Chief Justice Benjamin Lynde, to compile the valuable notes which were the foundation of our Lynde and Digby investigations. He left these records with his immediate family in three forms : on the back of an escutcheon, in an old Bible, and on an old chart-pedigree. "The date of the former is 1740 [several years before the death of the elder Chief Justice]. The younger Judge was the antiquary of the family, and got much of his information from his father, who was living at the time the record on the escutcheon was made, so that what we know of the family, traditionally, came from the elder Judge." 1 a The oldest records extant are found in a Bible printed in 1 595- It 1 Private Letter from Dr.
