Excerpt from Family Record of Daniel Dod, the Colony of Branford, 1644, Where He Died in 1665: And Also of His Desendants in New Jersey
Brethren, - TO you this family history and genealogy is committed. To collect the materials for it, has cost the compiler much time and labor. Only a part of it is matter of public record. The old generations that, a few years ago, could have given us considerable information are nearly ex tinct or are superannuated. So that our traditional history of Marriages, Births and Deaths, and other family matters, is drawing to a close. I have endeavored to collect and save some of the fragments from total dispersion and oh livion.
You will, doubtless, discover mistakes and omissions. Having resided at a distance from the family for thirty-six years, persons and events have passed away without my personal observation. And I could not devote that attention to the subject which might have rendered this little family history more full and accurate. But with some aid from friends in New Jersey, I have done what I could. And now I commit this collection to you, with all its imperfections, lest by further delay, what has been done should be lost. And I bid you a farewell - wishing and praying, that what ever may become of your earthly genealogy, your names may be found written in the Lamb's book of life.
