Excerpt from History of Sanbornton, New Hampshire, Vol. 2 of 2: Genealogies
It was proposed an the Prospectus that the Sketches should be merely occasional or incidental, thrown in to relieve the monotony of genealogical detail, and applied principally to those public or professional men who were several years resident in town, and to other sons of Sanbornton either at home or abroad, of whom (i) previously printed sketches or obituaries have been found, whose friends (2) have voluntarily furnished such notices. And who (3) have been personally known to the author during his fifteen years of resi dence here as pastor of the Congregational Church. Beyond these limitations it was not possible to go, while it is freely admitted that many, to whose names only a brief record is appended, may have been equally worthy of a fuller notice. But the work is strictly genealogical rather than biographical. Many excellent citizens and sons of the town had passed away during its first century, with whom no personal acquaintance was possible; of many of these, no printed memorials have been found; and of others still, their surviving friends have shown no desire that particular mention should be made. Where much was not given, much cannot reasonably be required.
