["This book seeks to trace the descendants in America of Rev. William Barroll, of Hereford, England, who after he was graduated from St. John's College, Cambridge, in 1757, was ordained a priest of the Church of England in 1759. In 1760 he was invited by his uncle, Rev. Hugh Jones, then 90 years of age, who himself held the degrees of A.B. and A.M. from Oxford University, and who was then the venerable rector of North Sassafras Parish, in Cecil County, Md. to come to Maryland and succeed him in his rectorship. The young clergyman, at that time 26 years of age, reached Maryland in the year 1760. He succeeded his uncle as rector and a year later intermarried with Ann WIlliamson. From this union have descended the Barrols here enumerated and now living in America..." -. from Preface].
