Note by Editor.--The parentage of Joseph4, ascribed to Timothy3, is very doubtful, and is here given on the authority of the tradition that the children of Jacob4, the son of Timothy3, whose birth is a matter of record, were known in Hampstead to be own cousins to the children of Joseph4. This evidence is very slight; but it is all the evidence of the parentage of Joseph4 that the compiler, who is a direct descendent of Joseph, and therefore personally interested in definitely defining his parentage, has been able to develop after thirteen years' research. With the issue of this volume it is possible, and even probable, that the data which the author has been unable to discover after years' of research, will be developed as if by chance within a very short time. While such evidence will alter hundreds of records, it is the hope of the author that it may be forthcoming, and that quickly. It is likely that some historian of the family will take this volume as a starting point, and correcting its errors and omissions, in some future years, give to the world a new and better version than this can possibly be.
