Guilford Genealogy (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Guilford Genealogy
Many of the records in this manuscript were collected by my husband, Jonas Guilford, who after his retirement from his profession, became much interested in the history of his family. According to his request I have continued the work, finding in it, as I proceeded, a pleasant and agreeable task. I recommend a similar task to those who wish to extend their acquaintance among the people who lived several hundred years ago. It stimulates the imagination and induces reflection.
Nathen Guilford seemed not to have been aware of William the emigrant, but William Wallace Guilford of Boston, a keen genealogist discovered this Maryland voyager at an early day. To him I am indebted for information which assisted me in a further search for records in Maryland and England. This descendant of William has shown marvelous industry in collecting and arranging records connected with the branch of Guilfords who settled in Maine.
