"Like leaves on trees the race of man is found,

Now green in youth, now with'ring on the ground,

Another race the following spring supplies,

They fall successive, and successive rise,

So generations in their course decay:

So flourish these, when those are past away."— POPE.

"It's not the whole of life to live,

Nor all of death to die."

A GENEALOGICAL REGISTER

Of the Families of some of the First Settlers of Rowley.

It was the desire of the publisher to have made a complete Register, of some one line of descent, from each family settled in the town before the year 1700, that now has one or more male descendants living in Rowley or Georgetown. But from the neglect of some families to cause their children to be put on record (as the law requires), it is found to be impossible to supply the connecting links, which are thereby lost.

The following Register is as full and as perfect as the records will authorize; and, in making it up as it is, the publisher has, in various instances, been obliged to resort to probabilities; and the probability is, that some of them may be erroneous. But he hopes the errors are few and unimportant.
