The Davis Family: A History of the Descendants of William Davis, and His Wife...

Description: Dr. Thomas K. Davis, for his patient and arduous labors in the preparation of this family history, is mine only by right of seizure, not because I am qualified to adequately voice the gratitude of the large connection, most of whose names I would not have known without Dr. Davis labor of love. I am sure we are all united in appreciation of the magnitude and the value of the task which he has so successfully accomplished. If any of our attainments fail to appear under our respective names it is not because we were not given frequent opportunities to supply them; and judging from the tardiness of the responses among some of my own family and the forbearance of Dr. Davis, I should say that patience is of his most striking characteristics. I know of no who in his search for information followed more consistently the old adage, If at first you dont succeed, try, try again. To his patience he added unfailing courtesy and unremitting industry, and these have brought the book to a successful close though a family history is of the things which can never be said to be finished. The inspiration of knowing Dr. Davis personally has come to some of us since he began the preparation of this book, and he seems to us to be, likeD orothy Wordsworth, over eighty summers young, without a single winter in his heart.
