More About This Book:
Clearfield Company continues its assault on the prodigious output of New York
State genealogies produced by the Lewis Publishing Company at the beginning
of this century. Previously we have reprinted four volumes pertaining to
Central and Western New York compiled by William Cutter and three volumes on
Southern New York by Cuyler Reynolds. We are delighted to reprint Mr.
Reynolds' four-volume series of Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs
at this time.
In presenting memoirs of some 600 families of the Hudson-Mohawk Valley
region, Mr. Reynolds employs a formula that will be familiar to persons who
have consulted the other collections of genealogies published by the Lewis
Publishing Company. The work begins with a brief Introduction in which the
compiler recounts the region's historic importance in the French and Indian
War and in the Revolutionary War. There is also a special section on regional
topography and the legislative origins of Albany County, in particular. Mr.
Reynolds then devotes a separate essay to each family beginning with the
venerable Van Rensselaer, Schuyler, and Livingstone families. Most of the
family essays begin with an explanation of the geographical origin or
derivation of the family's surname. Mr. Reynolds or one of his associates
then traces the line forward from the oldest known ancestor to the principal
subject of the essay. This is followed by a detailed biography of that
person, often with his photo, as well as a breakdown of collateral lines
related to the featured descendant. The index at the back of the final volume
of the set identifies some 7,500 descendants of the main families in the
work. The 600 principal families featured herein are listed next and, given
the area's historic role as a colonial haven for Dutch, English, and Palatine
German immigrants, this work promises to offer genealogical clues to a wide
range of researchers.
