From the Dust Jacket: "DAY UNTO DAY traces the history of [the author's] paternal grandparents, David Bonnel Day and Ann Maria McFarland, back to its roots in Scotland, Ireland, and Germany and its growth on this continent through eleven generations, starting in the 1660's and ending in 1978... The listing of Negro slaves in the wills of family members who lived in Maryland is a shock... Among Mrs. Hanson's ancestors... one was among the founders of Newark, New Jersey... Matthias Day, Jr., born May 11, 1824, founded Daytona Beach, Florida, which was named for the Day family. Matthias was also an inventor, the editor of the GALESBURGH, ILLINOIS DEMOCRAT and a friend of Abraham Lincoln, who used to stop in at the newspaper office to swap stories and talk politics.".
