Excerpt from A Genealogy of the Greenleaf Family There has been an unavoidable delay in the publication, owing to the fact that at one of the severe fires in New York, during the past winter, nearly one half of the copy, then in the printer's hands, and partly in type, was entirely destroyed, and the loss has been with difficulty supplied and should any confusion appear in the arrangement, it may be attributed to this. The author will thankfully receive any corrections which can be made, and any additional information which may be given, intending to preserve and record every thing of the kind for the benefit of posterity, should it ever be needed.

Excerpt from The Ancestry of Jane Maria Greenleaf: Wife of William Francis Joseph Boardman, Hartford, Connecticut The printed record of The Ancestry of Jane Maria Green leaf is of interest to a large circle of her kindred. It presents in a convenient form the Greenleaf line of descent and includes many facts long since furnished by the author to James Edward Green leaf, the compiler of the Greenleaf Genealogy, as noted in that volume; but much more material, which has been gathered in years of research, concerning one branch of that family. Other family names also appear, some of them for the first time, as far as known, in genealogical work, thus giving to many desired information con cerning their ancestry. This is especially true of the Toocker fam ily, and such data as have been obtained may at least furnish a basis for further investigation. It is hoped also that this publica tion will be the means of bringing to light some lines of ancestry that have hitherto eluded the author's search. The plan adopted will be readily understood. It is to trace first the ancestry of Dr. Charles Greenleaf, the father of Jane Maria Greenleaf, and second that of her mother, Electa Toocker. Each line is treated by gathering the material under generations, which are followed back as far as known, to the emigrant ancestor in New England, and, in some cases, to the English ancestry. In each generation the family history of such persons as have a place in it by marriage is given. Particular attention has also been paid to recording all available data concerning the children of families for the benefit of their descendants. All names of persons that appear in this volume will be found in the Index of Names. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
