Excerpt from The Veatch Family in America: Being a History of the Descendants of James Veatch, Who Came to America From Scotland A. D. 1750 In writing a history of "The Veatch Family in America" I desire to say that I did not undertake the task because I thought I could do it any better than some other member of the family, but because I had in my possession sufficient information concerning the two great families which sprung from Nathan and Elias to make a history which would be at any rate worthy of preservation. This information was handed down to me from the family of Nathan by General James C. Veatch and from the family of Elias by Sherman William Veatch, both now deceased. This information in itself was a mere shadow or skeleton and contained barely enough to connect the two great families and prove to a positive certainty that both families came from a common ancestor James Veatch, who came to America from Scotland.
