GENERAL HISTORY OF MIDDLESEX COUNTY. 1635-1885
J. H. Beers & Co., 36 Vesey Street, New York 1884
[transcribed by Janece Streig]
INTRODUCTION.
In presenting to the public the following history of Middlesex county the publishers desire to say that they do not indulge the hope that it will be found entirely free from errors. They feel confident, however, that the authors of the local histories and articles on special topics have bestowed such care on their work that fewer mistakes will be found than usually creep into works of this kind, and they hope that what inaccuracies may be discovered will be regarded with charity.
For the merits which the publishers believe the work to possess, much credit is due to Henry WHITTEMORE, a native of Essex, in this county, under whose supervision most of the material was prepared.
In every locality parties have been found ready and willing to aid in the work, and among these special mention should be made of Mr. Henry D. A. WARD, of Middletown, who from the first proffered the use of his extensive library, and in many ways contributed to the success of the undertaking.
Their thanks are due to the authors of the different local histories, and of other articles which appear under their respective names.
Valuable aid has been rendered by Gen. E. W. N. STARR, and his wife, and by their son, Mr. Frank STARR. Without the assistance of the latter it would have been impossible to decipher many of the early records of Middletown.
The pastors of the several churches, the officers of the various societies, and the members of the many manufacturing firms-among whom should be specially mentioned Mr. A. R. CRITTENDEN, of Middletown-have given their hearty cooperation, and have assisted by furnishing material concerning their organizations and industries.
They desire to acknowledge their indebtedness to Dr. FIELD's "Statistical History of Middlesex County," and to his "Centennial Address" for important facts relative to the early history of the county.
Great care was exercised in the selection of subjects for biographies and portraits. Leading citizens of the county, and prominent men of other localities-who were natives of the county-were consulted, and their advice, to a great extent, was followed. Selections were made of representative men in the different localities, and wherever it was possible to obtain, from them or their friends, portraits, it has been done; but in some cases parties would not consent to this, and in other either no likenesses, or none that were satisfactory, existed. It is possible that some proper subjects have been overlooked, but the best available means of information have been sought, and efforts have been made to do justice to all.
