Excerpt from History and Genealogy of the Bicknell Family and Some Collateral Lines of Normandy, Great Britain and America: Comprising Some Ancestors and Many Descendants of Zachary Bicknell From Barrington, Somersetshire, England, 1635

Human life is like unto a mountain stream that flows from unknown springs to uncharted seas. An individual life has its known entrance and exit. Not so with a family. It was never born; it will never die. So complete and wonderful is a family, that the term is hard to comprehend or to define. The strains of blood in the veins of a twentieth century Bicknell are as numerous as the sands of the shore or the multitude of th stars. To find your Adam and Eve Bicknell would be a searc as hopeless as for the Holy Grail. A family genealogy is ab of the infinite in terms of the finite; a sample of creative energy working through men and women, who, for a few centurie bear the Bicknell name. What name we bore two thousan years ago, no man knows. What name we shall bear two thoi sand years hence is beyond our ken. What we do know, is thi that a common name, peculiar physical, mental and spiritu; characteristics unite a few thousands in relations of mutu? acquaintance, fellowship, brotherhood, love. The family, calle your name, is one of the units of a national, a world life; th ends it serves are to cement a closer brotherhood and to foste true sympathy, co-operation and faith. A family genealog gives identity and personality to scattered forces and makes th interlinking of lives more real, natural and helpful. The Bicli nell genealogy is a grouping of a body of men, women and chi! dren, a section of world workers, who should make good a Beacon lights on the Beacon Hills of life for the races of mer This book is the growth of many years. Prior to i 860, knew no Bicknells outside my own Barrington (R.I.) famil In 1870, I had become acquainted with Lovell Bicknell, of Weymouth, and Quincy Bicknell, of Hingham, Mass., learning fror? them that Weymouth was the home town of the family. I, 1875, I took up my residence in Boston, Mass., and there became acquainted with several more of our family, notably, William E., Alfred, Quincy, Zachariah and Robert.
