These four volumes contain possibly the most authoritative collection of Pennsylvania genealogies ever assembled. The editor, John W. Jordan, was a celebrated historian as well as a genealogist, and, with his able assistants, among whom we find the great Warren S. Ely, he produced a work that is yet unmatched in scope and accuracy, covering fully 250 colonial and Revolutionary families in a series of independent genealogical narratives.
Extending from
two or three pages to twenty and thirty pages or more, the genealogies
generally commence with the known ancestors of the first Pennsylvania settler
and proceed in the direct line of descent to representatives of the family in
the late 19th and early 20th centuries, touching, in this manner, on as many as
seven or eight or more generations, each member of which is scrupulously
accounted for by name, spouse, issue, and dates of birth, marriage, and death,
surfacing again, in many cases, as the subject of a biographical essay.
These original
publications contain a good many full-page portraits. Below is a list of the
families treated:
Abbot, Adams/Anshutz, Ashhurst,
Ashton, Babcock/Badcocke, Baird, Balch, Ball, Ballard, Barnes, Beaver, Benners,

INTRODUCTORY
The present work,
"Colonial and Revolutionary Families of Pennsylvania,"
presents in the
aggregate an amount of genealogical and personal information
unequalled by any
kindred publication. Indeed, no similar work concerning
Pennsylvania families
has ever been presented.
Numerous voluminous histories
of Pennsylvania have presented in fullness
the political, social
and material conditions, from the earliest times. In this
work are contained
chronicles of the people who have made Pennsylvania what
it is. These records
are presented in a series of independent genealogical and
personal narratives
relating to lineal family heads, and the most conspicuous
representatives down
to the present generation, thus giving it a distinct personal
interest. These ends
have been conscientiously and faithfully conserved
through the
assistance of those who have long pursued genealogical studies
with intelligence and
enthusiasm, with John W. Jordan, LL.D., as supervising
editor. Much
assistance was rendered by Mrs. Charles Custis Harrison, Miss
Leach, Oliver Hough,
Warren S. Ely, and others.
