WILLIAM HENRY DABNEY, the compiler of this record,  was only very distantly related to the numerous Dabneys who will be found mentioned in it. He was a descendant of Robert d'Aubigne, who immigrated to Boston about the same time that his brothers, Cornelius and John, the progenitors of these Dabneys, settled in Virginia. The two branches of the family had.lost all connection with each other, and it is only since the genealogical researches of William H. Dabney began, that the relationship of the Dabneys at the North with those at the South has been established beyond a doubt.

There was always a constant going and coming of different members of the family, who thought nothing of stepping on board of any small vessel, and starting for any point of Europe or America to which business or pleasure might call them. The family fortunes were in a flourishing condition, and Mr. John B. Dabney kept open house in the fine mansion he had built himself on a picturesque site, where he also laid out fine gardens and grounds. This place is called " Bagatelle," and is still in possession of the Dabney family.

“Massachusetts branch of Dabneys, to which I belong, are descendants from Robert and Elizabeth d'Aubigntf, French Huguenots, who came from England to Boston a short time previous to 1717, the earliest trace which has been found of them. They came from England whither the d'Aubigne ' family had fled from France, at the time of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, 1685, Robert being then a child. The family records state that Charles, son of Robert d'Aubigne, from whom all the Dabneys of Massachusetts and their Fayal branch have come, was born in England previous to their coming over. Another son named John, was born in Boston, but he has left no descent.”

“Having employed my leisure time of late years in collecting the Dabney records of the Massachusetts and Fayal branches, to which I belong, and having completed these, I felt desirous of learning something about our Virginia kinsmen, but not knowing any one of them, or their addresses, I was a long time unable to carry out my wishes. At length a friend having sent me the address of the Rev. Robert L. Dabney, then a Professor in Hampden Sidney College of Virginia, I wrote to him, asking him for information respecting the Virginia Dabneys. He promptly responded.”
