Chronicles of the Boit Family and Their Descendants and of Other Allied Families (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Chronicles of the Boit Family and Their Descendants and of Other Allied Families

This book is written primarily for the sake of my children who know little or nothing of their ancestry, and to them it is addressed. But it is also intended for my grandchildren and those who may follow them especially those of the name of Boit if such there be.

If they read these pages they will learn that very few of their ancestral relations, on my side of the house, have distinguished themselves in public life, but that they have been respectable and well-educated ladies and gentlemen with good positions in the communities in which they have lived.

Many of them have shown literary and artistic tastes, and some few have been well-known writers and painters.

So far as I have studied them I have found little to condemn and much to praise in their refined and simple lives. Some have been rich and some poor, but I have failed to discover records of any who were not respect able and respected.
