The record was finally set straight with the 2010 publication of TUFTS KINSMEN, Volume 1, compiled by Herbert Freeman Adams, published on behalf of the TUFTS KINSMEN ASSOCIATION, INC., A charitable corporation of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Herbert Freeman Adams, Tufts Family Historian and genealogist, began his extensive research into the Tufts surname in 1946 and continued until his death in 2003.
"NOTE: This departure from prior Tufts genealogical gleanings, copied over and over again since 1821, has been thoroughly scrutinized by Dr. Ralph J. Crandall, Executive Director of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, Boston, and by the Society's expert professional genealogist, Gary Boyd Roberts. Both unequivocally approve of this change from the ambiguous to the truth in the matter. -- Herbert F. Adams"
