Excerpt from The Dewees Family: Geneaolgical Data, Biographical Facts and Historical Information
In bringing this work before the public, it was the intention of the author to collect the materials for the history and genealogy of her own family only, but after she had been engaged for some time in the work, she decided to establish the identity and family connection of all who bore the name of Dewees or were allied by marriage to them. The amount of labor and correspondence requisite for such an undertaking has been enormous, and it entailed a vast amount of correspondence and research. Mrs. LaMunyan"s physical disability, which confined her to the house, made it still more difficult to obtain the information she sought. Nevertheless by persistent effort, she, with my assistance and the aid afforded by the libraries of the various historical societies, court records, family records, etc., was enabled to accomplish the desired result.
Mrs. LaMunyan"s death in 1902, caused me to relinquish further efforts for a time. In compliance with her last request, however, I have endeavored to arrange the work in the most interesting form possible, trusting it may have the approbation of those who read or possess it.
