NOTE. The foregoing genealogy has been prepared, in part, from ancient family records, wills, deeds, probate papers and other documents, which have descended through several generations; but the source from which the main portion of the material has been drawn, is a manuscript of Mr. Joseph Metcalf of Dedham. There is, Matthew, Esqr., has however, a part of Joseph's manuscript, (being a transcript from that of Matthew Metcalf, Esqr., of Bellingham,) which is essentially deficient.

enumerated about sixty families who removed to different towns in the N. E. and other States. He has given the names of those that removed, also the names of many of their children, but did not mention whose sons the heads of these families were, nor when they were born; when or who they married, or the dates of their childrens' births and deaths. Without the knowledge of these particulars, we cannot tell to what branch or generation they belong, and consequently cannot produce a correct genealogy. Any one possessing information on this subject, though of small amount, will confer a favour by communicating the same to Dr. L. M. Harris, Jamaica Plain, Mass.
