. The Hovey book, describing the English ancestry and American descendants of Daniel Hovey of Ipswich, Massachusetts. abitually done so,the crest of the English Hovey Family, namely, a hand holding apen, with a scroll underneath, bearing the legend Hinc Orior(by this I rise) ; not inappropriate in view of the literary char-acter of many of the family. In 1902 it was agreed to adopt acombination of two or more coats of arms known to have beengranted to foreign branches of the Hovey Family by heraldicauthority. But after all this composite design did not please us,and in 1903 it was voted to postpone the vexed subject indefi-nitely. In 1910 it was suggested that, unless serious objectionwas offered, we should make use of the duly recognized Englishcoat of arms, honestly stating it to be such. It appeals to us morethan any one of the five or more American coats of arms, whosehistory we have thus far been unable to verify. To assist our Historian, and at his request, several specialcommittees were appointed in 1906: namely, to examine Bostonrecords, Miss Shapleigh, Mrs. Ricker, and Miss Chapin; for. Cc, Zl&n^ INTRODUCTION IX those of Cambridge, Mr. Ricker, Miss Caroline Hovey, and H. ; for Brookfield and Hadley, H. C. Hovey and Miss AmyKenyon; for Lowell and vicinity, Mr. Grenville Hovey; for Ded-ham, Mrs. N. W. Davis and Mrs. Mildred Alexander; for Ha-verhill and Groveland, Mr. Lewis R. Hovey. Mr. Perley him-self has visited numerous places to examine town, church andfamily records and inscriptions in cemeteries. Our first aim was to get the facts; but when, in 1908, wefound that we had a sum total of 1221 pages of MSS., we feltthat the time was ripe for a Hovey Book. Accordingly we ap-pointed a Comimttee on Publication, with full powers; of whichDr. H. C. Hovey was made chairman and treasurer; and R. Hovey was chosen as printer; and funds were providedby gift and by loan. The materials amassed are as complete as possible under thecircumstances. A
