Excerpt from History of Hadley: Including the Early History of Hatfield, South Hadley, Amherst and Granby, Massachusetts With not a little reluctance, at the earnest desire of his family, shortly after Mr. Judd's decease, did I consent to complete the work commenced by one, who has well been styled, the distinguished antiquary of North ampton. To this task, amid a pressure of other duties, have I devoted my leisure moments; and having brought together the scattered fragments Of family history left by Mr. Judd, and added to the same from my own collections, I am able at length to lay before the public, the result Of my labors, having pursued the work with interest heightened by being able to trace my own descent from no less than five Of those noble men, who more than two hundred years ago, in prayer and faith, laid such goodly foundations in this garden Of New England.
