Her entire manuscript is based on historical records taken from various County Clerk's Offices and Probate Offices and from reliable historical records and from items in the contemporary local press both in Palmyra and elsewhere. She has given the genealogy of Ambrose Hall both paternal and maternal from the Pequot War to the times of Sir Winston Churchill."
