This is a transcription of three pages from the book " The Prominent Families of the United States of America “ at
http://www.emptynestancestry.com/transcription-the-prominent.... Of the three pages, there are three families mentioned but only the Burket page is complete as that is the family I was researching. It's worth looking at the Arnold and Beekman names as I'm sure they provide valuable clues to more information.
Sources, images and documents about this family and numerous others are available for free access through the links below the signature lines.
I would appreciate any information that would help with my own research.
