A Genealogical And Personal History of Bucks County Pennsylvania

Description

A Genealogical And  Personal History of Bucks County Pennsylvania
William H. Davis
Volume  totaling
732
pages.  Just  what you need for genealogy research. Per The Publisher;
Originally prepared as Volume III of Davis's
History of  Bucks County, Pennsylvania
, second edition, this mammoth compilation is the  standard genealogical history of Bucks County and is an appropriate supplement  to the ample historical narrative from the pen of Gen. William Davis. Over 2,000  families are represented here with full genealogies, with something in excess of  30,000 persons identified in the various family histories and upwards of 100  full-page portraits of some of the principal figures. The genealogies are  extraordinarily elaborate. Besides names, dates of birth, marriage and death,  and names of children--and a continuation of same through as many as eight or  ten generations--the family studies consist of carefully prepared biographical  histories. Church life, town life, military life, domestic life, and other  highlights of biographical significance are thoroughly covered. If the subjects  were immigrants, the name of the ship and the place of origin are rendered; if  soldiers, then a description of their campaigns and engagements; or if  politicians and churchmen, an account of their rise to prominence. It is of  interest to note that all the genealogical and biographical sketches were  submitted for verification to living representatives of the families treated  herein.
