Excerpt from Genealogical and Family History of Southern New York and the Hudson River Valley, Vol. 1: A Record of the Achievements of Her People in the Making of a Commonwealth and the Building of a Nation; Illustrated
Strange and surprising would it be if the names and habits of ten thousand dis tinct types of species of spiders were studied, scheduled, portrayed and published, yet no thought given to preserving in permanent printed form the names and the deeds of human beings. Why then should we be at pains to enter the name and date of death upon the cemetery ledger, if henceforth no one is to read and use such entry? But if such memoranda are made, then printing them that they may be accessible is the logical outcome. The result is known as a genealogy.
