{"value"=>"<p>In June 1969 Mr. Paul W. Prindle was commissioned by Mr. William Sperry Beinecke to research the ancestry of his wife, Elizabeth Barrett Gillespie, and himself, and to compile the records in book form. Soon after Mr. Prindle' s research began, it became apparent that the ancestry of Mrs. Beinecke alone would fill a large book. It was therefore decided to compile a book on Mr. Beinecke's ancestry, another on Mrs. Beinecke's ancestry, with a third book covering her cousins.</p>"}
