Excerpt from History of Ancient Westbury and Present Watertown From Its Settlement to 1907

We beg our kind readers to remember the difficulties to be encountered in writing a correct and authentic history of this kind. We have done our best, and therefore feel that no unduly harsh criticism will be extended to those who have had this work much in their minds for months. We now commend it to you, with every hope that this book will receive a cordial reception in many homes and be read with interest now and in future generations. In the quaint language of Anthony A. Wood in his preface to The History of Oxford:

"A painful work it is, I'll assure you, and more than difficult, wherein what toyle hath been taken, as no man thinketh, so no man believeth except he hath made the trial."

However, it is a work that has had its pleasures. It has opened up a richer and more detailed knowledge of this dear old town, the home of many of our ancestors, our home and the resting place of our kindred.
