The book is a genealogical account derived from "Genealogies of the Families and Descendants of the Early Settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts," authored by Henry Bond in 1855. It explores the lineage and history of early settlers, particularly focusing on families like the Oliviers, who were French Huguenots that fled to New England due to religious persecution. The text also discusses the transition from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar, the significance of historical documents like the Olivier Bible, and the challenges faced by genealogists in tracing family histories amidst inaccuracies and name changes over generations.
