I did it the hard way, to show you that it CAN be done. He did not leave many descendants, just half a thin Silver Book, but the first surname that I found for which a descendant published a big family history, I used. This was the Knowltons. Someone published a big 2-volume illustrated set in 1897. Another Knowlton published a volume of errata & addenda plus index in 1903 (for the Knowlton Family Association) that corrected numerous errors and added descendants left out of the first work. All I have to do now is get a paper volume to scan because the online edition's images are useless. The descendants I found were two cousins killed in the Civil War, fighting for Massachusetts units.
