From the
Publisher: “Otis’ Barnstable Families first appeared as a series of sketches in
the newspaper The Barnstable Patriot.
The sketches were subsequently collected and published in two volumes in
1888 and 1890 and to this day constitute the best genealogical history of the
early families of Barnstable, Massachusetts.
Based on public records, family archives, and a careful study of
original documents, and further enhanced by the inclusion or revisions and
additions by Mr. Charles F. Swift, Barnstable Families is widely regarded as
authoritative.”
