Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wadhams Genealogy: Preceded by a Sketch of the Wadham Family in England With Illustrations In the well known Hyde Genealogy, compiled by Chancellor Walworth, is a short sketch of the Wadhams Family tracing it back to the settler, John Wadham. of Wethersfield, Connecticut. The data for this sketch was furnished by my lincle, the Right Reverend Edgar P. Wadhams. Later he obtained some further data and. on his becoming Bishop of Ogdensburg, he gave this material to me with the request that I continue the work. During the past twenty-five years, but more especially during the past five years, I have pursued the task of obtaining all available information relating to those of the name of Wadhams in America and elsewhere. Notwithstanding my best endeavors it is probable that a considerable number of those who should have been included in the work have not been found. The lineage of a few families by the name of Wadhams has been traced to a certain extent, but their connection with the main branch of the family has not yet been established. The records of these will be found in the Unconnected Lines. In the preparation of the work I have freely consulted and availed myself of information from a considerable number of genealogical works to which I am much indebted. To the members of the family in all parts of our country who have so kindly responded to the requests for data for this genealogy I wish to return sincere thanks. To my husband, Doctor George Thomas Stevens, I make grateful acknowledgement for his sympathetic aid which has made this work possible. I wish also to thank my son, Doctor Charles Wadhams Stevens, who has efficiently aided me both in research and in preparation of the manuscript.
