Excerpt from History of the Wingate Family in England and in America: With Genealogical Tables The history of the Wingate family has never been written before except in unconnected fragments, embracing one or two generations or a few individuals of one generation. Some thirty years ago Rev. Dr. A. H. Quint, of Dover, N. H., published in The Dover Enquirer four articles relating to the early. Wingates of America, and these sketches formed the nucleus 1 from which the present history has grown. Mr. John Wingate Thornton, of Boston, devoted a great deal of his time to investigating the genealogy of the family, and his unpublished work gave completeness to the story of the early Ameri can family, and also added facts relating to the English family. The work of connecting these records and of amplifying them has been carried on by the compiler of this book-by researches in libraries and town records, and by correspondence with other members of the family. The genealogical tables of the earlier generations are as complete as they can be made. Those of the later generations have not in all cases been fully carried out for two reasons, first and chiefly, because repeated letters have failed to bring to hand the facts asked for, second, because a lengthened delayof years in order to hunt up a few names of present generations was not considered a sufficient reason for postponing the publication of the descriptive history, and the genealogy already obtained With the present work in the hands of members of the family it is to be hoped that interest will be aroused and more historical facts brought forward.
