FOREWARD
The data compiled in this chronology has been as
carefully documented as possible, thus subject to the
limitations of any genealogy, it may be assumed to be
authentic.
The treatise partially embraces several branches of
the Rector family, lineally descended from the emigrant
John Jacob Richter of 1714. To write the entire history
of this patriarch’s descendants would far transcend the
limits of this work. Rather, it has been the intent to
present an over-all narration, with emphasis upon the
Missouri branch of the family, especially those members
who eventually migrated to the Nevada County area of
Northern California. The manuscript has not been prepared for general publication, but fora limited circulation
among the more immediate members of the family for
their edification and hopefully, for their enjoyment.
The three years involved in the preparation of this
chronology, while more a “labor of duty” than a “labor
of love’? have nevertheless been most gratifying and
rewarding. It is to be hoped that it will be of some value
and interest to our future generations of Rectors.
