Al thou gh ' t his chronicle of tha t branch of the Carleton family which sprang from Kimball Carleton , is meager and I com parati vely brief, yet h ave been a n umber of years in gathering the details comprising it . The inform ation bear I i ng upon these annal s deri ved chiefly from my father , G u y Carleton: who t ook pri de in storing up our family h ist ory in his memory and recalling i t at opportune occasions . B ut my u uncles , Yo nglove , Albert and particul arl y Alfon zo Carleton , a l l con tribu t ed somewh at to the general mass of this m uch coveted info rm ation . I am i ndebted to my father al most wholly for th e n ames of our kinspeople from Kimball Carle w ow n t ’ ton do n to his fa her s family , and also for the infor o mati n pertaining to the maternal branch of his ancest ry . The only member of the latter I ever remember seeing was ’ Va nS u rd a a m Seneca , m y grandmother Lois s brother , who fi f w a s ou t y years ago a prosper s farmer , on the hill north of the o W w l f a Ne . th e vi lage yomi ng in the st te of York wife , w as a o t a nd d Au n t Ann , l rge and p r ly q ui te slow and eliber a e a r of . ate in speech . They re r d la g e family children I am sensible that this ge n eal ogy is not a s ful l a s i t might h I d o or s ould be , and that it is free from errors not claim . But I have done the best I could with t he materials I have - o am f been able t gather , an d con iden t that defects w il l be no a . overlooked , or at least t unch ritably criticised I h a ve been able to en ter into more deta i ls rega rding some ’ i of my uncle s fam lies than others , because the opportunities for getting at facts were better . I only wish I bad every data necessary to gi ve all the particul a rs regarding each i family . The cause for regret or dissatisfact on on the part of any would th us be av erted . I wi ll take occasion here to say a fe w words in relation to l ou r family name . The appel a tion should u ndoubted ly be ” o I in S pelled Carlet n , and have taken th e liberty these ” Wh o pages to restore the e to t h e h istoric n ame . of our ” fi s e ancestors r t dropped the from it , I h ave been unable a t s h m to satisfac orily a certain , but I t ink the o ission began ” m . nd t h e with y grandfather , Jacob Carleton In Engl a e s o is reta ined .
