We have been investigating the real
=. T. VS. for several months. and
have surprised ourselves with the re-
suits Of our labors We have found
! twenty five families, who can he traced
to forefathcr who came to Virginia
before 1870; the year in which Massa-
chusetts was settled. These twenty
five emigrants have left numerous de-
scendants upon which we can lay hands
day Here is the list revised, cor
rec'ed and verified. The feelings OF
some have been wounded because they
have had to rclinquish the pre-emicnce
TO which they had ben accustomed; but
1t Is our humble opinion that anybody
who can get into this Holy OF Holes"
at all should be very much gratifed
