The Numbering System
The numbering system for these books was suggested by Mr. H. C. Bradshaw and while different from most genealogies, is very accurate. The original ancestor has no number — there are no numbers for Thomas and Margaret Lockett — but the children of each family are given numbers in the order of their birth, preceded by the number similarly given to each ancestor. The first figure of each number shows from which child of the original ancestor the person is descended, thus 2-1-5 for Jacob Lockett indicates that he was the 5th child of the 1st child of the second child of Thomas and Margaret Lockett. In listing the children, Scarborough followed the order of the wills, where the exact birth date was not known from other sources. The spelling in the early wills has not been changed, though he used punctuation marks where necessary for clarity.
