Excerpt from Tobey (Tobie, Toby) Genealogy: Thomas, of Sandwich, and James, of Kittery, and Their Descendants The preparation of this Genealogy was begun by the senior editor for his own gratification many years ago. A large correspondence grew up with persons of the name far and near and an accumulation of facts of general interest. The services of Mr. Harry E. Gifford were called into requisition to aid in the work of copying from private and public records, to arrange the matter thus found and carry on the correspondence. Personal matters compelled him to ask to be relieved from the work in 1901; and the help of Mr. Pope was obtained to continue the undertaking. At the end of a year the editors found themselves at the point of publication, as they felt, and asked for subscriptions for the issue of the work. The response was not sufficient to encourage the effort, and the editors, both heavily burdened with other cares and labors, laid the matter aside. The conviction at length forced itself upon them that the book ought to come out, and its publication was resolved upon. While the work has been passing through the press much material has been obtained from careful search of public records and from correspondents. In but few cases have any of our applications for co-operation been refused or replies delayed beyond our necessary limits of time. But we wish to thank most heartily the large number who have been exceedingly prompt and liberal in their assistance.
