Apocryphal Genealogies of the Ardens-Webbs
Old Printed Genealogies
- Selleck, Charles M. Norwalk. 1896. pp. 387-388, 398-399, 402-403 interpage. Link to pp 402-403 interpage at archive.org. Unsourced genealogy in self-published history of Norwalk, Connecticut. In Selleck's defense, he apparently just published whatever the local families said their English ancestry was and started the "Lineage" section of his book with the following disclaimer: "In regard to this work's 'genealogy,' its author assumes no statement-responsibility beyond that of his clients' American ancestry and affinity. Of the right and reasonableness of introduced foreign family data, the reader must be the judge." See p 81.
- Frost, Josephine. Ancestors of Henry Rogers Winthrop and His Wife Alice Woodward Babcock. 1927. pp. 540-541. Link to page at archive.org Link to page at ancestry.com ($). Unsourced pedigree. Note: This book has the distinction of having been singled out by Donald Lines Jacobus as an example of the type of genealogy book that should not be trusted. See Jacobus, Donald Lines. Genealogy as Pastime and Profession. 1930. p. 75. Link to page at hathitrust.org.
- Finley, Mrs. Herold R. "Dorr Family". Americana. Vol. XVII, No. 4 (October, 1923). The American Historical Society, 1923. pp. 467-468. Link to page at books.google.com. Unsourced genealogical information about the Webb family as part of a genealogy of the Dorr family.
