JOHN LOTHROPP, of Scituate and Barnstable, Mass., and MARK LOTHROP, of Salem and Bridgewater, Mass. and The First Generation of Descendants of Other Names. by The Rev. E. B. HUNTINGTON, A. M.

Copyright, 1884, by JULIA M. HUNTINGTON Reprinted 1971
NOTE:
The Rev. Mr. Huntington's Genealogy of the Lothrop-Lathrop Family was substantially ready for the press in 1872-1873, the materials having been collected long before. The panic of 1873 and his untimely death in 1877 caused delays in the publication. The manuscript needed revision, there were corrections and additions to be made. Had the author lived, it is hardly possible there should have been no mistakes in such a work, and with him passed away all knowledge of many of the references and authorities which he used, and some of the errors were thus placed beyond correction.
In August, 1883, a friend, though overladen with business cares, kindly offered to see the work through the press, but without being able to give it any thorough editorial revision. Much new material has been added, a voluminous correspondence had been entered into, many corrections, made necessary by an illegible manuscript and other causes, have been made, and the publication has thus been unavoidably delayed until now.
Many acknowledgments should be made for kindly aid given by those who were interested in the work. To name them all would be impossible, to omit any would be invidious, and only the general thanks of a grateful heart can now be tendered.
Ridgefield, Conn., July 15, 1884.
JULIA M. HUNTINGTON.
