Excerpt from The Kissam Family in America From 1644 to 1825
In preparing the little volume herewith presented, the compiler indulges the hope that the materials which he has gathered by prolonged and persistent investigation may hereby be rescued from oblivion; and that others who come after him, and shall feel an interest in this subject may, by its evidence, be saved the toil and inconvenience of research under difficulties.
In the absence of the ancient family Bibles with their records, some of which mention is made in Surrogates" records, yet cannot now be found; and in consequence of the destruction by fire of nearly all the earliest public records of the town of Flushing prior to 1789, the writer has derived his information, item by item, from various histories, from State, County, and other town records, also from parish registers, monumental inscriptions, etc.
