Excerpt from Barkhamsted, Conn;, And Its Centennial, 1879: To Which Is Added a Historical Appendix I am also under great Obligations to Capt. Henry R. Jones, of New Hartford, who had taken a deep interest in our celebration, and who has devoted quite a deal of time and labor to obtaining historical in formation concerning our town. It was but natural he should thus feel, being a son of Henry Jones, grandson of Col. Israel Jones, who was a son of Capt. Israel Jones, the second settler in the town. I am also indebted to many of the town people for meat, drink and lodging. And assistance in various ways in my search for knowledge. To name them' all would extend the list to a great length; to name some and omit others would be to make invidious distinctions, which I am unwilling to do. I am sure all will accept the heartfelt thanks of him whom they knew as the boy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
