The following is transcribed from a record on microfilm entitled “Colvins in America” (transcribed February 18-March 10, 2012):
The following pages contain Colvin records collected by several folks interested in the Colvin history. Five different Colvin collections were loaned to me—the largest Manuscript being made by Edward Josiah Colvin 1940. Believing that this collection would never again be altogether . . . I am getting the whole collection mimeographed. While J H Lawrence is a Colvin genealogist I am not—although I am a Colvin descendant—it is my interest in genealogy that prompts me to help print this collection. It is far from complete—but it will be a wonderful help to all working on the Colvin history. I am the author of Mattesons in America. Cordially and Faithfully yours. Porter Matteson.
Note my numbering plan—it is the plan used by a majority and it allows you to always progress to the number in the left edge of margin.

Please Note**I find several versions of ancestry by the different Colvin Genealogiests. E.J. Colvin places Titus and Joseph under Caleb 3 James 2 John 1. And also Joseph 4 under Caleb 3 James 2 John 1. But the Penna Colvins and Josephs family went to Penna. place him difrerently. I believe that EJC is right on Titus and wrong on Joseph. This will be a good means of getting versions.

123. Titus Colvin m. ca. 1765 Ann King presumably daughter of William and Anne (Dunkin) King. She dies ca 1805, Rutland, Vt. PLEASE NOTE**The purpose of this Colvin edition is to allow all Colvin descendants to correctly get their own branch records complete and accurate and so all Colvin available records are being printed. It is only natural to assume that some inaccuracies will creep in and much is left out—and full warning is given when any accuracy is in doubtful columns.
Gerald R. Fuller of 636 East 4th ave. Mesa, Arizona –sent this Titus data to J. H. Lawrence—as he sends two versions I am printing both and leaving all Colvin descendants that know the genealogy to send Mr. Lawrence all data. While on this subject—This is a progressive printing—in several months a #2 edition will be added and mailed to all holders of this Vol. q. Thank you! Porter Matteson
