Notes: Vol. 1 is a facsimile reproduction of the 1909 ed. which was complete in one volume. It is in the Americana Collection of the Library of Congress of the USA. The Shumways are hoping to publish a sequel for the remainder of the 20th Century through publication date in digital format to be uploaded to the internet. Their efforts are focused through their website [petershumway.org][1]. Peter Shumway (April 10, 1635 - 1695) is the progenitor of the Shumway family in the USA, having come to America sometime between 1660 and 1675, first to Boston, Mass., in the same vessel with Peter Faneuil, (Faneuil Hall) and the Sigourneys; married there an English lady, Miss Smith and then settled in Oxford, Mass. He was of French descent. The family name is held, by many, to be a corruption of the French surname Chamois (pronounced *Sham-wah*) and that Peter Shumway was a Huguenot fleeing religious persecution, which has not been substantiated. All the Shumways in America are unquestionably Peter's descendants. (From the Preface)
