PERSEVEEING INTEREST

CATHARINE MUNROE (MARCH) CLARK
THE PEEPARATION OF THIS BOOK 18 DUE; AND
TO HEK MEMORY
IT IS LOVINGLY DEDICATED.
IISTTEODUCTION.
In offeiing this volume to the public, the compiler is well aware that
in many lines it is incomplete, and that there must be, of necessity,
occasional errors in dates and names. As to the former, it is well known
to all genealogists that the dates found on town records frequently
differ from those contained in family Bibles, or given on gravestones;
in some cases, two or even three varying dates for the same event
have been furnished by different members of the same family ; in such
instances the responsibility of deciding which had the greater weight
of evidence in its favor has necessarily fallen upon the compiler, and
it can hardly be supposed that no errors have been made in reaching
the conclusions given. In the spelling of names some apparent dis-
crepancies will doubtless be observed; these are due to the fact that
the form used by the family itself has been followed. Even in the
same family different members have occasionally used different spelUng
of their familj^ name.
The material for the foundation of the work was largely gathered
by the late John Goodwin Locke ; the notes which he left at the time
of his death, in 1869, being collated by Capt. Nathaniel Goodwin, who
brought down the line of descendants of Dr. Lazarus LeBaron,- the
second son of Francis,^ quite fully, to the year 1872.
In 1897, at the initiative of Edmund S. and James W. Clark, the
compiler of this volume assumed the work of bringing the record
down to date, picking up, as far as possible, the many lost threads in
the lines of the other sons of Francis' — James- and Francis.^ In
6 Introduction.
carrying out this labor many members of the LeBaron family have
rendered important aid by their kind and ready response to many
and repeated inquiries ; the compiler would express appreciation of
the great help received in the way of suggestions as to arrangement,
as well as for information furnished, by the printers of the book ;
thanks are due to Mr. PVederick Dielman for his kindness and courtesy
in allowing the use, for the frontispiece, of a copy of his etching,
" A Colonial Wedding," which represents the marriage of Francis
LeBaron and Mary Wilder. The Rev. Calbraith B. Perry, D. D., has
kindly permitted the use of plates of pictures of Ann (Bradford)
DeWoIf, Mary Ann (DeWolf ) Perry, and of the Bradford House in
Bristol, R. I.
Some information which was received too late for insertion in its
proper place, would gladly have been included had it been possible
without disarranging the plan of the work. Valuable assistance has
been rendered by Mr. Harry G. Botsford, Mrs. Frances E. Bovie, Miss
Sarah Bradford, Lemuel LeB. Dexter, Esq., Miss Isabella Eldridge, Mrs.
Helen L. Goodwin, Mrs. Catherine E. Hedge, Mr. Isaac N. LeBaron,
Miss Mary A. Richardson, Mrs. Clara J. Sampson, Mr. Benjamin Shurt-
leff, Jr., Mrs. Jessie F. Stalker, Mrs. Ella G. St. Dizier, and Mr. James
LeB. Willard.
Mrs. Hepzibah G. Emerson, Miss Frances E. Murray, Mrs. Sarah S.
Norton, and many others showed their interest in various ways, in the
early years of the work, but have not lived to see its completion.

time of his marriage with Mary Wilder, of Hingham. His grave-
stone on the " Ancient Burial Hill " in Plymouth, now in good
preservation, marks the date of his death and age, and gives
the latter as thirty-six years. Substantially the same tradi-
tion in regard to him has been handed down in the various
branches of his family, namely, that a French privateer, fitted out
at Bordeaux and cruising on the American coast, was wrecked in
Buzzard's Bay. The crew were taken prisoners and carried to
Boston. In passing through Plymouth, the surgeon, P^ancis
LeBaron, was detained by sickness, and on his recovery performed
a surgical operation so successfully that the inhabitants of the
town petitioned the executive. Lieutenant Governor Stoughton,
for his release, that he might settle among them. The petition
was granted, and he practiced his profession in that town and
vicinity until liis death.
In regard to his religious faith there are different opinions : some
have claimed that he was a Roman CathoHc, wliile others are just
as strenuous in declaring that he was of a Huguenot family. It is
possible that both claims are right, as, for a long period preceding
1696, the severest affliction of the Huguenots was due to the ab-
straction of their children and youth from their homes, to be edu-
cated in the Roman Catholic faith.
We tMnk best to express no opinion in regard to tliis matter,
but place in the Appendix various statements and notes wliich
have come to our attention, leaving each one interested to draw
Ms own conclusions.
