Historical Collections Relating to Gwynedd A Township of Montgomery County Pennsylvania Settled 1696 by Immigrants From Wales With Some Data Also Settled by Welsh - Classic Reprint
Author: Howard M. Jenkins

Excerpt from Historical Collections Relating to Gwynedd: A Township of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, Settled, 1696, by Immigrants From Wales, With Some Data Referring to the Adjoining Township, of Montgomery, Also Settled by Welsh — This volume is by no means a History of Gwynedd. I have not attempted to make it that. I have simply gathered ma... more »terials of a historical and biographical nature relating to Gwynedd, and have arranged them as nearly as practicable in the order of time. The careful reader who may observe that many things are not dealt with which it would be the duty of a history to include will find an explanation of the fact in the plan itself.

So far as the materials which the volume does contain may be considered, I believe them very trustworthy. My effort especially has been to achieve that degree of accuracy where the percentage of error does no harm. Of errors there are some, no doubt: no such collection of facts, made up largely of specific statements, with names and dates, has ever, with the extremest care of author and printer, been able to avoid some mistakes. Those which have been noticed as the work was passing through the press are stated below.

The size of the work has disappointed me. I have reached the limit assigned it without exhausting the materials I had collected for it, and many subjects which I had intended to treat fully have been of necessity treated briefly.

It should be explained that the dates used have respect always to "Old" and "New Style." In 1752 the English Parliament passed an act by which the new year subsequently began on January 1st, and January became, therefore, the "First Month," as now. Previously, March had been the "First Month." This fact should be carefully kept in mind.
