The above is the title of a pamphlet that has just reached our desk. It has been compiled by Alfred Wyman Hoar (Lock Box 127) Mouticello, Minnesota. It was pub lished in Feb. 1898, pp. 50. This book traces the author's descent from Chas. Hoare of Gloucester, England, and contains some information alxnit branches of the Hunt, Baleman, Wy man, Brown, Jackson and McCoff Families. The records are those of branches that were largely personal ly collected by the author and were never liefore published. The work was printed at Mr. Hoar's own ex peuse and while he has set no price upon the work, he will appreciate a small contribution to pay postage bills. It is the only accurate record, of the Hoar Family. Many records in the histories of New England towns are inaccurate. Mr. Hoar is still engaged in collecting data.
