Richard Mather, who came from England and landed in this country in 1635, while not as complete and thorough as could be desired, is respectfully submitted. To his numerous descendants, as the most satisfactory work touching the history of this remarkable family that has ever been given to the public. The history of this family covers a period of more than two hundred and fifty years, not reckoning one hundred years embraced in the lives Of the ancestors of Rev. Richard Mather, who lived in England. The author has been some thirteen years engaged in gather ing the material for this work, and has reason to believe that Very many names and families are left out because Of his inabil ity to reach them.
