Excerpt from Notes, Historical and Biographical, Concerning Elizabethtown, Its Eminent Men, Churches, and Ministers
No persons, but those who have made the trial, can estimate the difficulty of making Notes like these. Although no labor to give them accuracy has been withheld, and no incident on oral testimony has been related without being established by two or three wit nesses, yet errors may be detected in these pages. I commit them to the public, deeply regretting that some one of the many eminent men who have here resided have never compiled the Annals of our ah cient Borough, and that the collecting of these Notes had not fallen into more competent hands, and earlier.
