Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals and Family Records of Winchester, Conn: With Exercises of the Centennial Celebration, on the 16th and 17th Days of August, 1871 As early as 1856, the compiler of these Annals conceived the plan of collecting materials for a history of his native town, and its early settlers° His life-long residence, reaching back to 1799, and the custody of its re cords during no inconsiderable portion of the last fifty years, made him more familiar than most living men, with its documentary history and its traditions. Frequent calls by descendants of Old Winchester families, and by genealogists, for information derivable from the town records, im pressed him with the belief that a compilation of historical events and family records, however imperfect, would be received with favor alike by citizens Of the town and descendants of emigrating families.
