This nonfiction work traces the Ludlow family from early New York settlers to their eight-generation lineage. It compiles documented facts, letters, and carefully noted connections to prominent colonial families, revealing the social standing and respected role the Ludlows held in the Province.

The narrative centers on Gabriel Ludlow and his descendants, including a thorough account of the second Gabriel and his marriages, offspring, and ties to families such as the Morrises, Hoffmans, Livingstons, and more. It also discusses the reliability and limits of family records, and how oral history and documentary evidence shape our understanding of ancestry.

Track the first Gabriel Ludlow in New York around 1694 and his marriage to Sarah Hanmer.
See how generations link to major colonial families through marriage and service.
Explore letters and contemporary notes that illuminate the family's status and land grants.
Understand how later generations connect to notable descendants and civic roles.
