Excerpt from A Genealogical Record of the Descendants of Moses Pengryascertained: Of Ipswich, Mass;, So Far As; Collected and Arranged In only one instance has any one of the name been tried for felony, and in that case the respondent was honorably acquitted by a verdict of a jury of his country. The law reports do not contain the name as a party litigant for nearly two centuries, and up to the present time it will be found that in most instances they have secured their rights without appealing to the courts to settle them. They have decided opinions upon political questions of importance, and exercise the right of speech and of suffrage, but none of them have made politics their business nor held office except by the spontaneous call of the people. Those who have lived to manhood or womanhood have generally become heads of families, and have contributed their share of the country's defenders. In the French war, the war of the revolution, the second war with Great Britain and the war for sustaining the unity of the nation and the authority of the United States government, they furnished their share of those who took the tented field, and endured the hardships of war, and poured out their blood and gave up their lives for their country and nation. Before the war of the rebellion they entertained divers political views, but when the tug of war came they were all patriots, were all for sustaining the authority of the nation forcibly, if necessary. None of them rejoiced at rebel victories, or mourned for their defeat. The knowledge the writer had of the family before commencing this work and the information obtained in preparing it, combined, lead him to a feeling of just pride in his ancestry and kinsfolk, and although the work may prove to him a pecuniary loss, he will be in some measure compensated by the pleasure of an acquaintance with the family. When, about seven years ago, he entertained a purpose to collect the history of the family, he did not know of another person who was interested in it. He soon, however, found encouragement from others, which tended to cheer him while pursuing his inquiries under difficulties. Among the earliest who took an interest were Rev. Dr. John F. Pingry of Elizabeth, N. J., and Thomas P. Pinorree, Esq., a prominent lawyer of Pittsfield, Mass. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
