John Fiske , in a very excellent historical “ ” O s treatise entitled ld Virginia and her Neighbour , says , s - that the pedigrees of horses , dog , and pigeons have a value that is quotable in terms of hard cash . Far more f important , for the student of human a fairs , are the pedi grees of men . By no possible ingenuity of constitution making or of legislation can a society made up of ruffian s and boors be raised to the intellectual and moral level of a society made up of merchants and yeomen , parsons and ” lawy ers . From the latter material the prominent men of m colonial ti es were derived , and on a descent from such men the most characteristic American pedigrees are based . It must be remembered that exactly three centuries have elapsed since the first permanent English settlement was made in this country , and the varied conditions exist ing during this period of time have afforded a sufficient test of the vigor of such lines of blood as have survived ; so that the history of families which originated with English me r chants and mariners from two to three hundred years ago , and which have persisted through successive generations of men prominent in the affairs of their respective co mmu n it ies , must be considered worthy of record . I feel , therefore , that I need offer no apology for the pious task which I v ha e undertaken in the preparation of these notes , and , as ' the interest in gen e alo gy is greatly enhanced by reference to contemporaneous history , I have thought fit to add as an appendix a brief sketch of the early history of Maryland and its institutions under the rule of the Calverts . I have set forth the genealogy of the GROOME family of Maryland in full , but in the case of female lines I have , as I N T R O D U C T I O N a rule , recorded only such portions as are essential to the ’ pedigree of my father s children , the construction of which is primarily the obj ect of this work . In some cases , how ever , I have given female lines more or less in detail for the purpose of making clear the relationship of contempo ran eo us members of such families to the members of my ’ father s immediate family . In the arrangement of matter the paternal line is placed first , and this is followed by its direct female lines in the w O order in which they merge ith it . f the maternal female lines , I am not able to give any information in regard to H ‘ the family of ELIZAB ETH PI ERC E , wife of ENRY CON N ELLY , but I have given in some detail the very interest A W S ing genealogy of the family of ELI ZA NDRE , wife of 2 HARRY CONNELLY . I n the preparation of these notes I have necessarily laid myself under obligations for much valuable assistance and advice , and for these kindnesses I must again express my sincere thanks . H . C .

December , 9 - To facilitate cross reference , Roman numerals are given in parenthesis immediately after the names of persons to whom they apply , to designate the generation to which such persons belong in the chronology adopted for this purpose . The first ancestor in the longest line of descent 1 A D 1 0 — viz . , Anthony Andrews , . 5 5 is considered to belong 9 to the first (i) generation , and the children of Samuel William Groome to the eleventh (xi) generation . The generation numbers of the first ancestors in the shorter lines of descent are reckoned backward from the eleventh . s s Per ons , therefore , whose names are followed by the ame Roman numeral are of the same generation . The genera tion number in connection with an individual to whom it refers is used only at the beginning of a section . The names of persons through whom the direct line of descent is traced , where they first occur in a section , are - printed in heavy faced , upright type . Superior numbers are used to distinguish persons whose 3 first names and surnames are the same , as Samuel Groome 9 and Samuel William Groome , no account being taken in this respect of second names . I n transcribing dates from Quaker records numbered months are designated by name , January in all cases being counted as the first month .
