PREFACE This record has been written from time to time during several years, as the writer has been able to gather the in• formation from many sources, and as he may have had the time and inclination to do so. It has been a work of much interest and pleasure, and a fair amount of success has been gratifying. Family exaltation or glorification has not at any time entered into the writer's thoughts or intention, but it has been a gratification to find so long a line in direct male descent of a family always of ladies and gentlemen. The proverbial skeleton in the closet, often feared in such a search, has not appeared, and the record is clean and untarnished. The Baskerville family has always maintained a good and honorable position among the gentry of England. Its historical record is certain, definite, and continuous, and it is found in most standard English genealogical books. And a direct honorable lineage of twenty-two generations through unbroken male descent, from father to son, through more than six hundred and fifty years, is probably rather un­ usual. The search and record has been chiefly retrospective, and no particular attempt has been made to enroll all the living members of the family. But any Baskerville descendant will doubtless find his lineage within one or two generations, and be enabled to trace the connection. Much of the information contained in this sketch is en­ tirely new, as far as the writer knows. The E~glish con­ nection of the family seems never to have been , ccurately traced before. And the old Mecklenburg tradition that the first Baskerville settler in that county was an immigr mt from X PRF.FACE, England, and possibly named John, was erroneous, as will be shown in the sketch. Apparently the Virginia family have never known before of the Cheshire connection. This sketch has been written for the writer's family with no thought of publishing it among other people, or that they would take any interest in it. Therefore it is more or Jess personal, and relates particularly to the writer's personal connection. It is printed chiefly for preservation. On the cover, the title page, and the headings the older spelling of the name with the final e is adopted, although the writer does not himself use it. The writer desires to express his thanks to Mr. Wm. G. Stanard, Secretary of Virginia Historical Society, to whom he is indebted for facts, which started the search, and for other help from time to time; and also to Dr. Lyon G. Tyler, of Wil­ liamsburg, who has kindly given important information sev­ eral times. R1CHl!OND, VA., OCTOBER 1st, 1912. AUTHORITIES AUTHORITIES Ormerod's History of Cheshire.
