Stobridge/Morison/Strawbridge Genealogy Book Excerpts

The table below provides a list of pages included in this site from an excellent book by Mrs. Mary Stiles (Paul) Guild, published in 1891, on the genealogy of the families listed above. This book is in the public domain, and I believe it will be helpful to those researching the Strawbridge surname to have some pertinent pages of the book available here for reference. I am not (as of now) including the many pages on the first three surnames; I started with page 231, where the author begins discussing the Strawbridge genealogy, and I included all following pages through 280, the last page in the book. If visitors to this site would like to see more pages of the book included here, please let me know via e-mail and I will include them as time permits. Please note that I did not attempt to preserve all of the typography and exact appearance of the pages from the book, but I have tried to be careful to reproduce the contents accurately. If you want me to check an item in the actual book, let me know and I will do so.
