Transcriber’s Note:

Words, particularly proper nouns, may have multiple spelling variations or inconsistent hyphenation in the text. These were left unchanged, as were obsolete and alternative spellings. Two misspelled words were corrected, noted below.

Footnotes were renumbered sequentially and were moved to the end of the chapter. Endnotes are treated as footnotes; alphabetical anchors and links were added. Final stops missing at the end of sentences and abbreviations were added.

Captions to genealogical charts are presented as descendant lists.
