The broken stones, the moss covered inscriptions, and the neglected tombs of our general ancestors for the first two generations, constitute the apology for placing this work before the public. The patronage of such works is not sufficiently attractive to publishers, but the time will come when the citizens of Fairfield will be grateful that a portion of its records is thus placed beyond the reach of ordinary danger and preserved for convenient reference. The notes interlarded and the address by Mr. W. A. Beers will preserve for the future generations, much information concerning "ye olden time," which never has appeared in print before.
