Excerpt from Some Account of the Cone Family in America: Principally of the Descendants of Daniel Cone, Who Settled in Haddam, Connecticut, in 1662 This is not a complete history of the Cones in America; nor is it a complete history of any one branch of the family. Noah did not carry into the Ark a little box containing the pedigree of the Cone tribe, but, if he had done so, and all his descendants to this time had made a combined and earnest effort to collect and preserve the records of the family, it would not then have been complete. Very seldom do all the members of a family agree as to dates, names, places, and incidents; town and church records often differ with themselves and with family records, and headstone inscriptions cannot be depended upon in all cases. The compiler has striven most earnestly to have every record verified, and, although there are undoubtedly mistakes in this book, it is hoped that no serious errors or omissions will be noticed. Entire accuracy has never yet been attained in a family history. Although no systematic effort has been made to connect the American Cone line with those of other lands, yet a diligent search was made to find the birthplace of Daniel Cone, but without success. No available "passenger list" of date previous to 1670 contains the name, and no record, published or unpublished, within my knowledge, gives this information. There are many by the name in this country whose ancestors were originally either Coan, Coen, Cohn, Cohen, Coon, Kone, Koen, to Cone. No records of these are published in this book.
