This valuable book on Pennsylvania genealogy is composed of some 200 articles excerpted from The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography. It contains all but one of the family history articles (this appeared as a book in 1913) that were in the Magazine up to 1935 when genealogical contributions were discontinued. It also has every Bible record and genealogical fragment known to have been published in the Magazine. In all, this consolidation refers to some 20,000 individuals connected to one or more of the following main families in the book: Atkinson, Bedant-Robbins-Lake, Bennett-Shockley, Biles, Boone, Carpenter, Chander, Chapman, Claypoole, Clymer, Crispin, Dubs, Ellis, Fenwick, Flick, Foulke, Franks, Futcher, Gillingham, Gilpin, Glen or Glenn, Graham, Hall, Hall-Brading-Carmicke, Hancock, Hedge, Hill, Holme, Hook, Hudson, Husband-Price-Haines, Hutton, Jones, Keith, Lea, Lewis, Marshall, Martin, Merion, Miles, Morton, Penn, Platts, Porter, Richards, Rohrer, Rush, Say, Shippen, Steelman, Taylor, Tennent, Washington, Wharton, Williams, Wilson, Wiltbank, Woods, and Zane.
