Excerpt from A Collection of American Epitaphs and Inscriptions, Vol. 2: With Occasional Notes
Timotheus. Alo'en.[the first edition of the first volume of this Coi lection was printed, in four numbers, in 1812. A variety of circumstances, not of sufficient import ance to be mentioned in this notice, has retarded the completion of this series, which is to consist of five volumes, any former intimation to the contra ry notwithstanding. It is now thought adviseable not to continue a division of the work into num bers, as the captions of those numbers would, in the aggregate, eicclude several pages of matter. Should this series meet with a favourable reception, it is probable that, a few years hence, D80 tolerate, a second may make its appearance, with 'a greater proportion oi' biographical andhistorical details, in reference to characters and events in the south em and western parts of the United States, than is to be found in the first pentade.
It having been occasionally suggested, in the first volume of this Collection, that its author was preparing a History of the state of N ew-j ersey, it is deemed proper here to add, that he has abandon ed that work for want of encouragement.

Excerpt from A Collection of American Epitaphs and Inscriptions, Vol. 2: With Occasional Notes
In the maternal line, the ancestors of the rev. Mr. French are traced to the honourable John Alden, one of the pilgrims of Leyden, who came to Ply mouth, in 1620, who was assistant to all the go vernours of the Old Colony, except the first, and who died at Duxborough, in 1688, at the age of about eighty-nine years. John Bass, of Braintree, now Quincy, married Ruth, one of the daughters of John Alden. Sarah, a daughter of mr. Bass, was the wife of Ephraim Thayer. This happy couple, another Zecharias and Elizabeth, as to their life and conversation, were blessed with a numerous family of children, remarkable for their piety. They were indulged the peculiar satisfaction of living to see fourteen children arrive at years of maturity, enter a family state, and, unanimously, make the noble resolution of Joshua asfor me and my house, we will serve the Lord. On one communion occasion, they enjoyed the singular felicity of presenting themselves, with the fourteen children, God had graciously given them, at the table of the Lord, to receive the emblems of redeeming love! A similar instance has seldom been found in the annals of the christian church.
