Book excerpt: Excerpt from Genealogy of the Descendants of Nicholas Hodsdon-Hodgdon: Of Hingham, and Kittery, Maine, 1635-1904 This work has taken a considerable part of my time for nearly ten years, and has been quite expensive in many ways. If a full year's time and the expenditure of two thousand dollars could have been given in addition for research in England, the complete English record of the family could have been secured, but I have not felt that I could afford either time or expense. I started with the idea, simply, of tracing my own line of ancestry, but have found this pleasant work leading me into so many other different lines that as a record of the Hodgdon family in America it is more complete than was at first intended. Thanks are due to Frederick M. Hodgdon of Haverhill, Mass., also to Fordyce C. B. Hodgdon of Key West, Fla., who have kindly offered to share in the expense of publication; also to Miss Almira L. White of Haverhill for the able and conscientious manner in which she has edited the book, and to all others who have kindly furnished information and pictures. In the years of expansion of this country the Hodgdon family has had its share, and in the pursuit of industry and commerce has gone into many of the states of the union. Naturally the tracing of genealogical records has, therefore, met with some difficulties and the result is likely to fall short of being absolutely complete and perfect. The following record is, however, the result of careful and persistent inquiry, and no line has been left until satisfactory information has been secured, or the futility of further inquiry demonstrated. I trust that the book will meet with the approbation of the members of the Hodgdon family, that they may take pleasure in its reading, as I have in its preparation.
