BIBLIOGRAPHY At this point a belated acknowledgement is long over- due. I have mentioned how William B. Bamford rescued the Disbrow markers from the nervous commuter. He did much more than that. Billy Bamford, when I knew him, was an ex-Major in the Home Guards, a quondam Mayor of Belmar, and part heir to the Exton Biscuit fortune of Trenton. He had money and was never gainfully employed. He had the time, the inclination, and the money to dig into his family tree. Among his ancestors were the Disbrows. So he it was who gathered practically all the infor- mation anent our family prior to John D. - Nicholas, Henry, Benjamin, and John of the Roundabout. In fact, he had collected such a mass of this material, covering all lines from Nicholas on, that it was a real task for me to glean just the facts which concerned our own direct line. Practically every book listed below was painfully dug up and read by Billy Bamford - not I. * * * Memorial Sermons & Historical Notes - A.
