Excerpt from Annals of a Clerical Family: Being Some Account of the Family and Descendants of William Venn, Vicar of Otterton, Devon, 1600-1621
The recovery of the facts here recorded was largely due to my grandfather, John Venn, who was somewhat of an antiquary, and who carefully collected family remi niscences and traditions whilst they were yet in being. My father was keenly interested in the same inquiries, but his busy life left him few opportunities for indulging a taste in this direction. The greater part, therefore, of the following account is the result of my own investiga tions; deferred unfortunately until nearly all who be longed to the generations behind me were no longer present to assist.

The following short volume belongs to a class of publication which is sufficiently familiar to need neither apology nor explanation. It does not profess to appeal to many outside the circles of those connected by ties of consanguinity with the various persons mentioned, or of the few who, for biographical or other purposes, have occasion to consult family pedigrees.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the history and ancestry of the Venn family focusing on three main branches of the family tree that emerged in the 16th century in the counties of Devon and Somerset, England. The author draws from a rich collection of primary source material, including parish records, wills, deeds, and personal letters, to piece together the lives and times of the Venn families, providing a glimpse into the social and economic conditions of rural England during the Tudor and Stuart periods. Through careful analysis of these records, the author identifies key individuals and events that shaped the family's history, from their origins as yeoman farmers to their eventual rise to prominence in the clergy and gentry. The book also explores the role of the Venn family in broader historical events, such as the English Civil War, and their contributions to the social and religious life of their communities. Ultimately, this book provides a fascinating and meticulously researched account of a family's journey through several centuries of English history.
