Genealogies of the Town of Goffstown New Hampshire

The collection of the material for the genealogical record and arranging the same has been an extremely burdensome task; many of the early families of the town are extinct, and the descendants of some within the memory of the present generation are widely scattered, but as a rule when found have cordially aided in the work. To find records of the vital statistics of so large a number of persons not present residents in town involved a vast amount of travel, expense and correspondence. Ofttimes the dates of family Bible, tombstones and town records are all different, and in many cases the records of families had to be revised and rewritten a second and third time.

I have made use of public information wherever found, not, however, without a sense of gratitude and appreciation of the aid and assistance rendered by those who have previously placed works of this class before the public. Among the very helpful volumes consulted are the Provincial Records, State and Town Papers, Adjutant-General's Report by General Ayling, the town histories of New Hampshire and the History of Hillsborough County.
