Excerpt from Johnson Genealogy: Records of the Descendants of John Johnson of Ipswich and Andover, Mass, , 1635-1892, With an Appendix Containing Records of Descendants of Timothy Johnson, of Andover, and Poems of Johnson DescendantsFrom the summit of Sinai thousands of years ago, in the midst of thunderings and lightnings, Jehovah gave to the human race a moral code to be observed by the people of every land, and of every clime throughout all ages, and a part of this code proclaimed to every man and woman and child, Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.The duty enjoined in this commandment includes in its requirement not only respect, and kindness and honor to parents while living, but a kind and honorable remembrance also of ancestors who have departed. Hence it is becoming and appropriate in the members of a family line to collect and pre serve and transmit to posterity the history of their progenitors.The work of the genealogist is to trace ancestral lines, and to connect one generation with another during a succession of years, to gather items of interest in connection with each family. And to preserve a correct and reliable history of the descendants of a remote ancestor.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
