WILLIAM  EARLE  DODGE. 


By  Josiah  C.  Pumpelly,  A.  M.,  LL.  B. 


Although  William  Earle  Dodge  is  no  longer  present  in  the 
body,  to  my  mental  vision  he  still  remains  an  immortal  shape,  a 
bright  and  inspiring  personality. 

As  I  write  this  heartfelt  tribute  to  his  character  and  kindly 
influences,  I  see  him  distinctly  as  he  appeared  speaking  in  his 
urbane  and  convincing  way  before  the  Union  League  Club,  or 
before  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Association,  making  an  earnest 
plea  for  some  good  and  important  measure,  or,  as  on  a  certain 
occasion  when  the  Hampton  Institute  scholars  sang  in  the  Brick 
Church,  eloquently  pleading  for  the  education  of  the  Negro  and 
the  Indian.  And  I  remember  on  that  occasion  how  impressive 
and  affectionate  was  the  tribute  he  paid  to  the  memory  of  Gen- 
eral Armstrong,  the  late  well-beloved  principal  of  the  Institute. 

Mr.  Dodge  possessed  a  decided  personality,  and  was  ever  ag- 
gressive when  some  question  of  right  was  at  stake,  and  all  who 
have  met  and  conversed  with  him  on  any  question  of  national 
or  municipal  affairs,  or  better  yet,  on  some  one  of  his  favorite 
themes  of  philanthropic  effort,  can  bear  witness  to  his  Christian 
optimism  and  his  power  to  impress  even  the  most  indifferent. 

Of  all  the  good  men  I  have  ever  known,  Mr.  Dodge  was  one 
of  the  most  heartily  and  humanely  helpful,  and  along  very  many 
lines  of  effort.  God  had  blessed  him  in  nature  and  temper,  and 
he  faithfully  made  the  most  of  his  gifts  for  the  advantage  of  his 
fellow  men. 

As  President  Hadley,  of  Yale,  has  so  well  said  :  "The  new 
conception  of  liberty  is  that  it  represents  a  responsibility  or  trust 
to  be  exercised  for  the  benefit  of  mankind."  In  the  character  of 
William  E.  Dodge,  I  know  that  this  was  the  underlying  principle 
of  action  throughout  all  of  his  exemplary  life.  This  sense  of 
Christian  stewardship  as  a  practical  working  force  in  every  voca- 
tion, or  avocation,  was  marked  in  him,  as  it  was  in  his  father, 
and,  also,  the  dominant  note  of  his  character  was  spiritual  and 
patriotic,  and  forN.hese  reasons  it  is  fitting  that  the  community 
should  perpetuate  his  memory  and  hold  up  in  endearing  honor 
the  record  of  his  faithful  citizenship. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Union  League   Club,  in  1878,  in  memory 


2  William  Earle  Dodge.  [Jan., 

of  Theodore  Roosevelt,  the  father  of  the  present  President  of  the 
United  States,  Mr.  Dodge,  in  a  letter  read  at  the  meeting,  says  of 
Mr.  Roosevelt :  "  Thoroughly  and  strangely  unselfish,  with 
untiring  energy  and  bright  cheerfulness  he  literally  '  went  about 
doing  good.'  Sound,  careful,  with  marvelous  good  judgment, 
he  added  to  these  qualities  a  magnetic  power  in  influencing 
others  I  have  never  seen  equalled.  When  he  saw  a  practical 
means  of  help  to  any  needy  ones  he  acted  immediately.  And 
then,  his  uniform,  sunny  brightness  melted  every  obstacle  and 
won  all  heart-.' 

Surely  this  beautiful  tribute  which  Mr.  Dodge  paid  to  his 
friend  and  co-worker  will  in  every  particular  apply  with  equal 
truth  to  himself.  He  always  took  a  leading  part  in  all  those 
measures  of  patriotism  with  which  our  Union  League  Club  was 
identified.  He  was  ever  a  signal  example  of  the  public  spirited 
citizen,  and  to  those  of  our  mutual  club  friends  who  were  rich, 
yet  indifferent  as  to  civic  matters,  his  voice  was  a  clarion  note, 
calling  them  to  a  more  unselfish  and  active  participation  in  pub- 
lic affairs  and  in  every  effort  for  the  betterment  of  mankind.  I 
was  not  one  of  his  intimate  friends,  but  he  was  to  me,  as  well  as 
to  many  others,  ever  an  inspiriting  influence  and  example.  Suc- 
cessful merchant  as  he  was,  he  never  believed  that  the  land  of 
the  people  should  be  degraded  into  merely  a  dollar  making 
factory,  and  the  city's  Botanical  Gardens,  the  Museum  of  Art, 
and  many  other  philanthropic  and  civic  interests,  were  his  de- 
light and  study,  because  he  saw  what  a  power  they  could  all  be 
in  the  uplifting  and  educating  of  the  masses  of  our  people. 

As  often  as  I  pass  by  the  beautiful  Earl  Hall,  which  Mr. 
Dodge  presented  to  the  students  of  Columbia  University,  I  am 
reminded  that  in  the  regard  of  our  well-loved  friend  educational 
institutions  and  the  interest  of  the  student  held  a  foremost  place, 
and  we  honor  him  all  the  more  that  this  was  so. 

The  words  of  the  old  classics  Fidea  Urbanitas  et  Huuiam- 
fas  very  well  describe  the  characteristics  of  Mr.  Dodge's  culti- 
vated mind.  He  saw  life  steadily,  and  saw  it  as  a  whole,  and 
this  made  him  tolerant  in  his  judgment  and  beautiful  in  his 
friendship, 

As  a  veteran  member  of  the  Union  League  Club  and  as  a  sus- 
taining member  of  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Association,  I  had 
the  opportunities  of  witnessing  on  many  memorable  occasions 
how  Mr.  Dodge  by  stirring  and  timely  appeals  so  influenced  the 
action  of  these  associations  that  wise  counsels  prevailed  and 
much  good  was  accomplished.  That  this  influence  was  well  un- 
derstood and  appreciated  is  shown  in  the  following  resolution 
passed  by  unanimous  vote  of  the  Union  League  Club:  "Wil- 
liam Earle  Dodge,  Senior  Vice-President  of  this  Club,  joined  the 
club  in  1863,  and  was  at  the  time  of  his  death  one  of  its  few  sur- 
viving founders.  When  the  Union  was  in  peril  he  was  a  promin- 
ent and  patriotic  supporter  of  the  Union  cause;  an  intimate 
friend  of  Lincoln,  Grant  and  Sherman,  and  an  associate  of  our 
late  members,  Dr.  H.  W.  Bellows  and  Theodore  Roosevelt,  Sr., 
in  the  Sanitary  Commission  in  which  he  labored  with    unceasing

energy.  He  was  one  of  the  historic  number  of  twenty-five 
Union  League  Club  members  led  by  Jackson  S.  Shultz,  who 
inarched  at  the  head  of  Col.  Bartram's  colored  regiment  down 
Broadway  from  the  old  club  house  in  Union  Square,  when  that 
regiment,  raised  by  the  club,  went  to  the  front.  Mr.  Dodge  stood 
in  tiv  front  rank  of  men  who  valued  citizenship  above  partisan 
considerations.  His  character  was  well  rounded  and  complete. 
He  was  in  all  his  intercourse  the  cultivated  Christian  man  ;  one 
to  be  consulted  whose  advice  was  proverbially  wise.  lie  has, 
doubtless,  heard  the  plaudit '  well  done  '  from  the  supreme  Judge 
of  all  human  action." 

He  was  ever  my  exemplar  of  the  best  type  of  the  Christian 
man  of  affairs,  the  helpful  philanthropist,  and  the  truest  friend 
of  young  men  I  have  ever  known.  Then,  too,  his  pleasant  and 
cordial  way  of  greeting  others,  Ids  persistent  optimism  and  love 
of  peaceful  methods  in  affairs  of  business,  as  well  as  of  the  state 
and  nation,  were  marked  and  controlling  charactistics  of  the 
man. 

In  my  conversation  with  Mr.  Dodge,  it  seemed  plain  to  me 
that  he  held  strongly  to  the  belief  that  no  social  or  industrial 
changes  could  ever  displace  individual  accountability,  and  no 
substitute  could  be  found  or  devised  for  character  in  either  the 
home  or  the  counting-house  ;  that  to  build  up  the  new  order  was 
the  only  fruitful  and  lasting  labor,  and  that,  as  the  prophets 
dreamed  of  a  perfected  Israel,  so  we  should  plan  for  a  perfected 
society — a  properly  adjusted  humanity.     He  believed  that : 

"  We  are  not  here  to  play,  to  dream,  to  drift ; 

We  have  hard  work  to  do,  loads  to  lift  ; 

We  are  not  to  shun  the  struggle,  but  face  it ;  'tis  God's  gift." 
This  was  his  life's  creed  ;  social  distrust  and  despair  had  in 
his  mind  no  place  in  the  working  out  of  God's  plans.  He  would 
have  religion  without  superstition,  polities  without  war,  art  and 
science  without  materialism,  and  wealth  without  misery  and 
wrong.  With  him  'twas  hearth  and  heart,  home  and  heaven,  all 
the  way  through,  and  with  it  all  he  had  such  a  lovely  spirit  of  old 
time  courtesy  that  none  could  ever  say  him  nay.  Better  than 
any  words  of  mine,  the  following  letters  express  in  what  estima- 
tion  our  friend  was  held  by  those  who  knew  him  best  :

M  V  I  >EAR   M  R.  PUMPELLY  : 

I  am  glad  that  you  are  going  to  write  an  article  on  Mr.  Dodge.  You  will 
find  a  few  reminiscences  of  him  in  my  book  Little  Rivers,  where  he  is  de- 
scribed in  the  chapter  entitled  '  Salmon-fishing  on  the  Ristigoucbe,'  under  the 
name  of  Favonius .  My  intercourse  with  Mr.  Dodge  as  a  parishioner  was 
most  delightful  in  every  was.  I  never  new  a  man  more  ready  to  help  in  any 
good  cause  or  more  happy  in  working  for  the  extension  of  Christ's  Kingdom. 
The  Lord,  who  loveth  a  cheerful  giver,  must  certainly  have  had  a  peculiar  love 
for  Mr.  Dodge.  He  gave  as  if  it  were  a  pleasure  to  him.  His  sympathy  with 
every  honest  and  practical  effort  to  do  good  was  quick  and  deep.  His  force 
of  character  was  enhanced  and  beautified  by  the  gentleness  of  his  manners. 
He  adorned  the  doctrine  which  he  professed. 

Faithfully  Yours, 

HENRY  VAN  DYKE."

"  War  Department, 
Washington,  November  12,  1903. 
My  Dear  Mr.  Pumpelly  : 

I  knew  Mr.  William  E.Dodge  very  well  for  over  forty  years,  and  had  a  very 
high  respect  and  warm  regard  for  him.  He  had  a  very  noble  and  beautiful 
character  and  lead  a  life  of  the  greatest  usefulness.  He  not  only  always  fol- 
lowed high  ideals,  but  he  never  failed  in  the  effort  and  labor  necessary  to  give 
practical  effect  to  them.  He  was  not  merely  benevolent  but  he  was  charitable 
in  the  broadest  sense  in  his  judgment  of  his  fellowmen  and  his  always  kindly 
and  considerate  treatment  of  them,  and  he  had  strong  sense  and  sound  judg- 
ment. His  death  was  a  great  loss  to  the  whole  community,  but  his  example 
remains  a  great  gain  to  everyone  who  was  fortunate  enough  to  know  him. 
I  am  glad  you  are  going  to  write  an  appropriate  article  about  him. 

Faithfully  yours, 

ELIHU   ROOT." 

Y.  M.  C.  A.  International  Committee  Rooms, 
New  York,  December  1,  1903. 
My  Dear  Mr.  Pumpelly  : 

William  E.  Dodge  belonged  to  the  highest  type  of  manhood.  Inheriting 
large  wealth,  tempted  to  a  selfish  life  of  ease,  he  was  as  industrious  in  his 
business  as  wealthy  men  who  accumulate  their  entire  fortune  by  their  own 
industry.  As  a  christian  philanthropist  he  stood  in  the  very  front  rank  in  a 
country  as  productive  of  this  class  of  men  as  any  other  in  the  world.  With 
his  gifts  also  went  with  equal  generosity  and  greater  unselfishness  his  personal 
activity  as  officer  and  worker.  His  discriminating  beneficence  embraced  an 
unusual  number  of  well  chosen  objects,  but  his  interest  in  young  men  was 
specially  pronounced.  To  them  his  sympathy  went  out  with  peculiar  tender- 
ness. 

It  was  for  this  reason  that  the  work  of  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Associa- 
tion called  forth  his  life-long  enthusiasm.  The  first  four  years  of  his  adminis- 
tration as  president  of  the  New  York  Association  were  signalized  by  the 
planning  and  erection  in  1869,  on  the  corner  of  Twenty-third  Street  and  Fourth 
Avenue,  of  the  first  genuine  association  building  in  the  world — the  seed  corn 
of  similar  structures  now  erected  on  every  continent.  Here  for  the  first  time 
the  fourfold  work  for  young  men — physical,  social,  intellectual  and  spiritual — 
was  organized  so  excellently  as  to  make  it  the  pattern  upon  which  the  lines  of 
the  association  work  have  gone  out  through  all  the  earth  and  its  efficiency  to 
the  end  of  the  world. 

His  generous  and  statesmanlike  sympathy,  however,  were  not  confined  to 
the  New  York  Association.  He  included  the  whole  brotherhood  in  his  benefi- 
cence. Lately  two  beautiful  and  costly  buildings  were  given  by  him  to  the 
students  of  Princeton  and  Columbia  universities.  At  the  close  of  the  first  year 
of  the  new  century  he  confessed  to  having  contributed  that  year  to  twenty- 
three  departments  of  association  work.  He  loved  the  work  more  than  the 
organization,  and  young  men  more  than  the  work  for  them  ;  and  he  was  am- 
bitious, as  a  father  might  be  for  his  son,  that  the  work  should  stand  for  and 
illustrate  a  stronger  and  purer  type  of  manhood.  By  his  own  initiative  and 
through  his  personal  iufluence  he  was  the  first  citizen  to  give  to  the  National 
Government  in  its  army  department  an  association  building — erectinu  it  on 
Governor's  Island  in  New  York  Harbor.  Subsequent  legislation  by  Congress 
has  opened  to  his  fellow-citizens  similar  opportunities  of  generous  provision 
for  United  States  soldiers  at  all  our  large  military  posts  at  home  and  in  the 
Philippines. 

He  was  wont  to  say  of  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Association  that  it  was 
an  organization  which  discovered  "  the  real  value  of  young  men  and  what 
could  be  done  to  mould  their  lives  to  bring  them  to  higher  ideals,  loftier  pur- 
poses, and  greater  fruitfulness  and  usefulness."  He  held  it  to  this  purpose. 
His  interest  in  it  was  measured  and  regulated  by  its  progress  toward  this 
standard.  From  youth  to  old  age  he  was  himself  a  model  member  of  the 
brotherhood — always   cheerful   and   enthusiastic,  strong    in    counsel,   buoyant

and  inspiring  in  his  leadership.  He  never  ceased  to  be  a  young  man.  This 
was  the  secret  of  his  undying  sympathy  with  young  nun.  Their  enthusiasms 
were  his  own.  Listen  to  the  glowing  words  with  which  only  two  years  ago  he 
opened,  as  president,  the  American  Jubilee  Convention:  "1  trust  that  the 
watchword  of  this  convention    the  inspiration  behind  it  all     will  tie  '  Forward 

for  the  future! '  A  splendid  foundation  has  been  built  with  Christ  as  the  cor- 
ner-stone. This  new  century  is  a  time  of  great  opportunity  and  splendid  re- 
sponsibility. God  grant  th.it  in  this  cenvention  there  may  be  men  of  large 
hearts   and    noble   souls  who  will   go  back  and  say  :     'By    God's   grace  I  am 

^ g  to  do  something    toward  building    up  this  great  work.      I    inc. in  to    help 

make  this  century  the  one  which  shall  most  honor  Christ  and  which  shall 
nio^t  good  accomplished    for  men.'"     These  wire  the    words  of   one  who  had 
done  his  full  share  toward  making  lus  own  century    pre-eminent  in  Christward 
tendency  and  progress. 

Very  Sincerely  Yours, 

RICHARD  C.  MORSE." 

In  answer  to  my  letter  Mr.  Morris  K.  Jessnp  sent  me  a  copy 
of  his  letter  to  the  N.  Y.  Evening  Post,  from  which  I  quote  the 
following: 

"  The  late  William  E.  Dodge  was  a  man  to  be  loved  and  honored  by  all 
classes.  He  was  by  nature  gentle  and  kind,  yet  with  a  positive  conviction  of 
what  was  right,  honorable  and  true.  He  was  born  ami  brought  up  under  in- 
fluences moral  and  religious,  and  imbibed  early  the  saintly  qualities  of  mind 
ami  heart  of  a  noble  father  ami  mother. 

It  was  the  privilege  of  the  writer  to  have  known  Mr.  Dodge    as  a  boy,  and 

to  have  been  his  companion  at  school  in  iys,    This  early  acquaintance 

ripened  into  an  attachment  and  friendship  which  lasted  for  over  sixty  years 
without  a  break,  and  during  this  long  period  he  had  abundant  opportunity,  in 
the  various  walks  of  an  active  life  ami  an  intimate  social  acquaintance,  to  test 
the  qualities  of  mind  and  heart  of  this  noble  man. 

He  was  the  real,  successful  to  the    Young  Men's  Christian    Asso- 

ciation in  this  country,  which  had  root  in  lus  strong  personality,  and  which  has 

now  become  one  of  the  most  influential   factors  foi    g I,  among  young   men, 

that  exists  in  the  world.  His  long  leadership  of  the  United  States  branch  ol 
the  Evangelical  Alliance  is  proof  of  his  Christian  statesmanship  and  broad 
catholicity.  He  was  a  promoter  of  peace  in  all  disputes  and  quarrels  among 
nations  and  individuals,  and  strongly  urged  arbitration  as  the  best  meat 
settlement.  He  was  a  lo\  er  ol  tin  beautiful  in  nature  and  art,  as  his  associa- 
tiation  with  the  great  museun  ty  will  testify,  as  well  as  the  true  friend 

of  the  Botanical  and  Zoological  Gan 

He  was  a  lover  aid  promote!  oi  science,  as  his  gifts  for  research  and  in- 
vestigation prove  and  as  nis  si  ij  Mr.  Carnegie  as  one  ol  his  trustees  oi 
the  great  Carnegie  Institute  of  Washington  hears  testimony.  Mr.  Dodge's 
private  life  was  blameless.  He  was  a  loving  husband,  father  and  friend,  ami  a 
good  citizen.  His  home  was  the  resting  place  from  strife,  discord  and  selfish- 
ness; it  was  a  type  of  Heaven's  abode,  and  all  dwelling  beneath  its  roof,  as 
wed  as  visitors  and  friends  who  had  knowledge  of  it,  felt  the  holier  and  better 
because  of  its  influence.  When  such  a  man  is  called  out  of  the  world  it  leaf  es 
it  bereaved  and  saddened.  We  cannot  afford  to  lose  such  in  the  times  m 
which  we  live,  ami  our  prayer  is  that  Cod  will  prepare  others  to  imitate  Mi. 
Dodge's  example,  that  his  place  may  be  filled  by  those  who  will  bear  testi- 
mony, as  he  has  done,  through  a  long  life  of  unselfishness,  devotion  to  duty, 
high  standard  of  living,  and  faithful  service  to  the  city,  society  and  religion. 

'  We  live  m  deeds,  not  years  ;  in  thoughts,  not  breaths ;

JOHN  HANCE  AND  SOME  OF    HIS  DESCENDANTS. 


By  Rev.  William  White  Hance. 


John  Hance,  one  of  the  original  settlers,  under  the  Monmouth 
Patent,  of  Shrewsbury,  N.  J.,  came  from  Dover,  N.  H.,  where, 
by  vote  of  the  settlers,  he  was  made  an  inhabitant  6th  of  4th 
month  (June)  1656.  On  a  Dover,  N.  H.,  tax-rate  for  July  21,  1657, 
containing  93  names  tiot  arranged  alphabetically,  the  name  of 
John  Hance  immediately  precedes  that  of  Thomas  Hanson,  who 
was  the  father  of  the  Tobias  Hanson  subscribing,  together  with 
John  Hance,  for  the  purchase  of  lands  in  Monmouth  Co.,  N.  J.. 
from  the  Indians,  and  the  grandfather  of  that  Tobias  Hanson  of 
Dover,  N.  H.  who  executed  a  power  of  Attorney,  Feb.  4,  1698-9 
making  "his  uncle  John  Hance,  of  Shrewsbury,  N.  J.  his  general 
agent  in  the  Province  of  East  Jersey."  In  1665  John  Haunce 
"  carpenter"  buys  land  of  George  Walton  in  Dover,  N.  H.  Dec. 
28, 1669  John  Hance  is  a  Deputy  and  Overseer  of  Court  at  Portland 
Point,  Monmouth  Co.,  N.  J.  and  covenants  with  the  town,  Sept., 
1670,  to  build  a  pair  of  stocks.  May  28,  1672,  we  find  John  Hause 
named  as  an  "Associate"  with  the  Patentees  of  Middletown  and 
Shrewsbury.  And  in  1673,  during  the  very  brief  rule  of  the  Dutch, 
John  Hanoe*  is  one  of  those  appointed  by  them  as  a  "schepen" 
or  magistrate.  The  will  of  John  Hance,  "of  Shrewsbury,  yeo- 
man, and  being  ancient  and  crazy,"  signed  24th  of  1st  month 
called  March,  1707,  was  proved  Jan.  27,  17 10,  and  in  it  he  names 
Elizabeth  his  wife  ashisexecutrix.  She  was  probably  the  daughter 
of  the  above  mentioned  Thomas  Hanson  of  Dover,  N.  H.,  who, 
in  his  undated  will  recorded  June  27,  1666,  speaks  of  his  wife 
Mary  and  two  daughters,  though  he  does  not  name  them,  under 
the  age  of  18  years  at  the  time  of  the  signing.  Elizabeth  Hance 
died  8th  month  28,  1732,  and  the  names  of  the  children  of  John 
and  Elizabeth  Hance,  together  with  the  dates  of  their  birth,  were 
obtained  from  an  old  Bible  still  in  existence  and  now  owned  by 
one  of  their  direct  decendants. 
John  Hance  had  issue  by  Elizabeth  (Hanson?):

In  1898,  Miss  Cornelia  Van  Kleeck  of  Poughkeepsie,  gave  to 
the  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution  of  that  place  a  Dutch 
Bible,  printed  in  17 18,  which  was  placed  in  the  building  known  as 
the  "Clinton  Museum,"  owned  by  the  State  of  New  York,  and 
occupied  by  the  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution. 

On  July  nth,  1898,  1  copied  the  family  record  in  this  Bible, 
and  now  send  to  the  Record  as  a  supplement  to  the  material 
published  in  July  and  April  last  year,  as  contributed  by  Mr. 
Alfred  Leroy  Becker.  I  do  not  recall  whether  I  made  a  "  line 
upon  line"  copy,  but  the  names  and  dates  may  be  relied  upon. 

It  will  be  seen  that  Mr.  Becker  was  correct  in  his  supposition 
that  Francis  Filkin  was  born  in  1703,  not  '04.

"January  the  27,  1788,  then  my  daughter  Cynthia  was  mar- 
ried. 

July  the  (4  or  5)  day  1798  then  her  first  son  was  born,  named 
Baltus,  and  August  the  26,  1792  her  second  son  was  born  (named?) 
Baltis." 

Following,  in  another  hand. 

"My  son  Leonard  B.  Vn  Kleeck  was  born  April  18,  1787. 

"My  daughter  Margaret  Vn  Kleeck  was  born  Nov.  6,  1790." 

Leonard  B.  Van  Kleeck  and  his  sister  Margaret,  (afterward 
the  wife  of  John  Guy  Vassar  Sr.),  were  children  of  Baltus  Van 
Kleeck  by  his  fourth  wife  Rhoda  Dutcher.  His  third  wife  was 
Josyntha  Corsa,  and  they  had  a  daughter  Cynthia. 

Baltus  Van  Kleeck  was  a  son  of  Peter  Van  Kleeck,  (d.  1732/3) 
and  his  wife  Cathrina  Lewis,  who  married,  second,  Sep.  21,  1733, 
Francis  Filkin. 

This  Bible  therefore  came  into  the  possession  of  the  Van 
Kleeck  family,  by  the  marriage  of  Francis  Filkin  to  the  widow  of 
Peter  Van  Kleeck. 

Frans  Hegeman  and  Antjen  Ruwaart-Rugaard,  his  wife, 
appear  upon  the  records  of  the  Dutch  church,  Poughkeepsie,  in 
1740  and  1 743/3,  as  witnesses  to  baptisms.

ONONDAGA  COUNTY  RECORDS— 1800-1827.

(Continued  from  Vol.  XXXIV.,  p.  267  ol  The  Record! 

The  word  illiterate  inserted  after  names  in  this  record  indicates  that  the  individuals 
signed  with  an  -f. 

The  compiler  of  the  Onondaga  records  contributions  closes  the  series  with 
this  number.  From  1799  onward,  the  Syracuse  records  contain  occasional 
papers  executed  by  or  referring  to  ex-soldiers  of  the  Revolution,  but  the  work 
of  searching  them  out  in  the  enveloping  mass  of  documents  has  not  been 
carried  beyond  the  year  named.  Those  memoranda  of  later  date  here  follow- 
ing are  but  addenda  to  earlier  documents.  It  is  well  to  repeat,  in  closing,  the 
Statement  made  when  the  present  series  began,  that  it  covers  only  the  realty 
documents  relating  to  the  present  county  of  Onondaga.  Inasmuch  as  the  orig- 
inal county  of  Onondaga  covered  an  area  embraced  in  at  least  six  of  the  pres- 
ent counties  of  central  New  York,  it  is  evident  that  the  situs  oi  memoranda  now 
closed  has  merely  made  an  entry  upon  an  interesting  field  of  research.  Fully 
four-fifths  of  the  material  embodied  in  the  early  Onondaga  records  is  as  yet 
untouched  by  genealogical  inquiry.  Its  character  is  precisely  the  same  as  the 
matter  already  printed.  It  is  prolific  in  clues  for  the  tracing  of  Revolutionary 
ancestry,  though  seldom  giving  details  at  length.  Practically  every  soldier  who 
fought  in  the  New  York  line  during  the  great  struggle  has  left  somewhere  in 
the  Onondaga  records  one  or  more  memorials  of  himself  in  connection  with 
the  land  granted  lo  him.  The  existence  of  these  rtcords  should  be  kept  in 
mind  in  the  present  general  search  for  new  sources  of  genealogical  facts.

consider  as  a  great  imposition  and  deception;  but  cannot  feel 
guilty  of  impropriety.

A  BRANCH    OF    THE    VAN   BRUNT    FAMILY    IN  MON- 
MOUTH COUNTY,  NEW  JERSEY. 

By   George  C.   Beekman. 


The  Van  Brunts  in  Monmouth  County  are  a  branch  of  the 
well  known  family,  of  this  name,  who  have  been  prominent  in 
the  history  of  New  Utrecht,  in  Kings  Co.,  Long  Island,  from  its 
first  settlement  down  to  the  present  day. 

Hon.  Tunis  G.  Bergen  a  resident  of  Bay  Ridge,  adjacent  to 
New  Utrecht,  was  well  acquainted  with  this  family,  and  the 
Bergens  had  also  intermarried  with  them.  In  the  Van  Brunt 
Genealogy  Mr. Bergen  correctly  names  Rutger  Joesten  Van  Brunt, 
who  came  from  Holland  to  America  in  1653,  as  the  common  an- 
cestor of  the  Van  Brunts  in  America.  He  was  one  of  the  first 
settlers  of  New  Utrecht  and  a  farmer  by  occupation.  In  1661  he 
was  a  member  of  the  Court  of  Schepens,  and  in  1678-79-80 
was  one  of  the  principal  magistrates  under  the  English 
Government. 

In  early  records  of  the  inhabitants  of  New  Utrecht  his  name 
is  sometimes  spelled  "  Ruth  Joosten."  See  Vol.  I.  of  O'Callag- 
/tan's  Documentary  History  of  New   York. 

He  married  for  his  first  wife  Tryntje  (Catharine)  Claes,  the 
widow  of  Stoffel  Harmensen  Van  Borculo  (now  Barkalow)  and 
had  by  her  three  sons  Nicholas,  Joost  or  George,  and  Cornelius. 
He  died  intestate  prior  to  1713  leaving  considerable  real  estate, 
which  was  divided  between  his  two  sons  and  a  grandson,  for  his 
son  Nicholas  died  in  1684  leaving  one  son  only. 

Rutges's  son  Cornelius  was  a  farmer,  and  lived  and  died  at  New 


34  -4  Branch  of  the  Van  Brunt  Family  in  Monmouth  Co.,  N.J.       [Jan., 

Utrecht.  Besides  the  land  inherited  from  his  father  he  acquired 
considerable  real  estate  at  Gravesend  and  at  New  Utrecht.  He 
was  an  Elder  in  the  Dutch  Church  of  New  Utrecht  from  17 15  to 
to  1 73 1,  a  member  of  the  Colonial  Legislature  of  New  York 
from  1698  to  1 731,  and  a  justice  of  the  Peace  in  Kings  County 
from  17 12  to  1 7 18.  He  was  highly  respected  for  his  integrity  and 
good  judgment. 

He  married  December  18,  1685,  Tryntje  (Catharine)  a  daugh- 
ter of  Adrain  Williamsen  Bennett,  of  Gowanus,  (now  part  of 
Brooklyn  City)  and  died  about  1748. 

His  will  is  dated  July  25,  1748,  proved  May  13,  1754  and  re- 
corded in  Surrogate's  Office  of  New  York  City  in  Book  19,  of  wills 
page  34.  He  appoints  his  sons  Rutgert  and  Nicholas,  Executors. 
His  son  Nicholas  is  the  one  who  settled  in  Monmouth  Co.,  New 
Jersey  and  was  the  progenitor  of  all  the  Van  Brunt's  now  resid- 
ing here.  Mr.  Bergen  is  however  mistaken  in  the  name  of  his 
wife  and  the  date  of  removal  from  Long  Island  to  Monmouth 
County. 

In  the  Van  Brunt  Genealogy  he  supposes  that  Nicholas  married 
Geesye  daughter  of  Claes  Thomasse  Van  Dyke  by  his  second 
wife  Francyntje  Hendricks,  and  settled  in  Monmouth  County  in 
1750.  He  is  wrong  in  both  of  these  statements.  The  old  records 
of  Marlboro  Dutch  Church,  show  that  Nicholas  Van  Brunt  and 
Geesie  Hendricks  his  wife  became  communicants  therein  1731, 
and  subsequently  had  three  children,  all  daughters,  baptized  viz: 
Engeltje  baptized  April  27th,  1732;  Augenetje  baptized  March 
9th,  1734,  who  married  Albert,  son  of  Garret  Schenck  and  Neeltje 
Voorhees  his  wife  of  Pleasant  Valley,  Mem  mouth  Co..  New  Jersey; 
Geesye  baptized  October  23rd,  1737. 

The  other  children  whom  Mr.  Bergen  names  must  have  been 
born  prior  to  his  removal  to  Monmouth  County,  and  the  record 
of  their  baptism  may  probably  be  found  in  records  of  the  New 
Utrecht  Dutch  Church.  These  children  were  three  sons  Hend- 
rick,  Cornelius,  and  Nicholas,  and  three  daughters  Catharine, 
Jannetje  and  Anne,  making  in  all  nine  children.  It  was  custom- 
ary in  early  days  in  the  Dutch  Church  to  enter  the  wife's  maiden 
name,  in  church  book  when  she  became  a  communicant. 

Nicholas  Van  Brunt  married  Geesye  Hendrickson,  a  sister  of 
Daniel  Hendrickson,  who  was  the  first  settler  of  this  name  at 
what  is  now  Holland  in  Holmdel  Township,  Monmouth  Co.,  New 
Jersey.  Nicholas  Van  Brunt's  father  died  in  1748  and  he  came 
into  his  share  of  this  estate.  In  1752  he  sold  all  his  share  in  this 
real  estate  at  New  Utrecht  to  his  brother  Rutgert  Van  Brunt  for 
over  nine  thousand  dollars. 

A  deed  recorded  in  Monmouth  County  Clerk's  Office  shows 
that  Nicholas  purchased  of  Robert  Hunter  Morris  in  1750  a  tract 
of  six  hundred  acres  of  land  at  Tinton  Falls.  Mr.  Bergen  has 
doubtless  been  governed  by  the  date  of  this  deed  when  he  states 
that  Nicholas  Van  Brunt  removed  from  Long  Island  to 
Monmouth  County  in  1750.  The  records  of  the  Marlboro 
Dutch  Church  show  that  he  was  here  nineteen  years  prior  to 
that   time.

His  brother  Rutgert  remained  at  New  Utrecht  and  lived  and 
died  there.  He  married  Elizabeth  daughter  of  Albert  Coerten 
Van  Voorhees,  and  had  a  daughter  named  Catharine  who  married 
Daniel  Hendrickson,  the  Colonel  of  the  third  regiment  of  Mon- 
mouth Militia  during  Revolutionary  War.  He  also  had  a  son 
Rutgert  who  became  an  extensive  land  owner  at  Gravesend  and 
New  Utrecht.  He  also  owned  land  in  what  is  now  Matawan  in 
Monmouth  County.  He  held  many  important  offices  in  Kings 
Co.,  Long  Island.  He  was  a  colonel  of  the  militia  and  also  High 
Sheriff  of  Kings  Co.,  Long  Island. 

He  was  a  first  cousin  to  Major  Hendrick  Van  Brunt  of  Mon- 
mouth County  who  married  Eleanor  a  sister  of  the  famous  Cap- 
tain John  Schenck  for  whom  the  English  offered  a  reward  of 
fifty  guineas  living  or  dead.  It  was  his  acquaintance  with  Capt. 
Schenck  which  nearly  ruined  him.  John  Schenck  and  Capt. 
Marriner  on  Saturday  evening  June  13th,  1778,  left  Middletow 
Point,  now  Matawan,  with  a  number  of  men  in  a  whale  boat  in- 
tending according  to  the  Long  Island  story,  to  capture  David 
Matthews,  the  notorious  mayor  of  New  York  City,  a  Miles  Sher- 
brook,  Major  Moncrieffe  and  a  Mr.  Bache,  who  all  resided  at 
Flatbush,  L.  I.  and  within  the  British  lines;  fortunately  for 
themselves  the  two  first  named  happened  to  be  away  from 
home  on  that  eventful  night,  but  the  last  two  named  were  found 
in  bed,  and  they  were  compelled  to  arise  and  dress;  they  were 
then  carried  off  to  New  Jersey  as  prisoners  together  with  four 
negro  slaves  belonging  to  Mayor  Matthews. 

Now  after  the  battle  of  Long  Island,  the  residents  of  Kings 
County  were  entirely  in  the  power  of  the  English  army.  Many 
of  them  in  their  fright  and  to  save  their  property,  took  oath  of 
allegiance  to  the  King  of  England.  John  Schenck  and  Marriner 
landed  on  the  shore  of  New  Utrecht  near  midnight  of  June  13th, 
1778,  and  went  to  the  houses  of  Col.  Van  Brunt  and  some  other 
of  their  friends,  to  find  out  the  exact  location  of  every  British 
sentinel  at  Flatbush  and  on  the  public  road  thereto. 

The  British  officers  naturally  thought,  that  this  body  of  nun 
could  not  have  gone  through  New  Utrecht  and  returned  without 
some  of  the  inhabitants  had  known  of  it.  They  held  that  anyone 
who  saw  them  and  failed  to  give  the  alarm  was  guilty  of  high 
treason.  Three  days  after  the  raid  Col.  Van  Brunt,  his  brother 
Adrian,  Rem  Van  Pelt  and  Aut  Van  Pelt  were  arrested  and  con- 
fined separately  in  Provost  prison  of  New  York  City.  Col.  Van 
Brunt  managed  to  bribe  the  officer  of  the  guard  to  allow  him  at 
midnight  a  secret  interview  with  each  of  his  fellow  prisoners. 
They  agreed  to  stand  together  and  deny  all  knowledge  of  the 
raiders.  Although  severely  examined  separately,  and  informed 
that  the  others  had  confessed,  and  his  only  salvation  was  to  tell 
the  whole  truth,  each  one  stood  firm  in  their  denial  of  all  knowl- 
edge of  the  raid. 

As  there  were  no  witnesses  or  evidence  against  them,  they 
were  all  discharged.  If  the  English  had  known  of  Col.  Van 
Brunt's  close  relationship  or  acquaintance  with  one  of  the  leaders 


36  A  Branch  of  the  Van  Brunt  Family  in  Monmouth  Co.,  N.f.       [Jan., 

of  this   kidnapping   party,  Capt.  John  Schenck,  they  might  not 
have  got  off  so  easy. 

Col.  Van  Brunt  also  loaned  a  considerable  sum  of  money  to 
his  brother-in-law  Col.  Daniel  Hendrickson  of  Monmouth  County 
which  he  advanced  to  purchase  powder,  balls  and  other  stores  for 
his  regiment. 

Nicholas  Van  Brunt  the  first  of  this  name  in  Monmouth 
County  made  his  will  April  12,  1760.  It  was  proved  February 
1st,  1782,  and  is  recorded  at  Trenton.  He  appoints  his  son 
Hendrick  and  Tunis  Denise  of  Monmouth  County  executors. 

He  devised  his  land  at  Tinton  Falls  to  his  two  sons  Hendrick 
and  Nicholas  equally.  I  do  not  know  why  he  cut  off  his  son 
Cornelius. 

Hendrick  married  Eleanor,  daughter  of  Garret  Schenck  and 
Jannetje  Williamsen  Van  Covenhoven,  his  wife.  There  were  no 
children  by  this  marriage. 

Hendrick  VanBrunt  was  a  Major  in  3rd  Regiment  of  Monmouth 
Militia.  He  was  captured  by  the  enemy  and  at  first  confined  in 
the  Sugar  House  in  New  York  City,  and  afterwards  was  a  paroled 
prisoner  on  Long  Island.  A  letter  written  by  him  and  signed  by 
him,  his  brother-in-law  Tobias  Polhemus,  Auke  Wyckoff  and 
other  officers,  to  Gov.  Livingston  of  New  Jersey  complaining  of 
their  destitution  is  published  in  Revolutionary  Correspondence  of 
Neiv  Jersey.  Some  of  these  men  had  been  prisoners  nearly  four 
years.  I  do  not  know  whether  they  were  ever  exchanged. 
Hendrick  Van  Brunt's  will  is  dated  August  26,  1794  proved  Feb. 
11,  1797  and  is  recorded  at  Trenton.  He  appoints  his  brother-in- 
law  John  Schenck,  of  Freehold  Township  and  Auke  Wyckoff,  of 
Shrewsbury  Township,  his  executors.  He  devises  his  real  estate 
at  Tinton  Falls  equally  between  his  brother  Nicholas  Van 
Brunt,  and  the  four  sons  of  his  brother  Cornelius,  deceased. 
That  is  one  half  to  his  brother  Nicholas  and  the  other  half  to 
Cornelius,  Hendrick,  Nicholas  and  Joseph  C.  the  four  sons  of 
Cornelius  Van  Brunt,  deceased. 

Cornelius  married  Magdalena  Fenton  about  1750,  and  had 
two  sons  who  were  baptised  in  the  Marlboro  Dutch  Church. 

Hendrick  baptized  May  7,  1752. 

Cornelius  baptized  Jan.  28,  1754. 

He  had  two  other  sons  and  one  daughter  not  baptized,  Nich- 
olas, Joseph  C.  and  Geesye. 

Hendrick  son  of  Cornelius,  according  to  records  of  Marlboro 
Dutch  Church,  married  Sarah  daughter  of  Samuel  Bowne 
and  Patience  Cowenhoven  his  wife,  March  17,  1779.  He 
had  a  child  named  Lydia  baptized  in  this  church  June 
20,  1780. 

In  Book  R  of  Deeds,  page  165,  etc.,  Monmouth  Clerk's  Office 
is  record  of  a  deed  from  Conover  Bowne  and  Eliza  his  wife,  at-

acres  of  land  in  Middletown  Township. 

In  Book  R  of  Deeds,  page  104,  etc.,  is  record  of  a  deed  dated 
July  28th,  1S06  from  Hendrick  Van  Brunt  and  Sarah  his  wife  of 
Brooklyn  on  Long  Island  to  John  Hall  for  two  lots  at  Middletown 
Point  (now  Matawan).  Hendrick  Van  Brunt  removed  to  Brooklyn 
and  lived  there  the  rest  of  his  life. 

Cornelius,  the  second  son,  married  according  to  records  of 
Dutch  Church  June  17,  1780,  Margaret  Mount  and  had  three 
children  baptized  in  this  church,  viz.: 

Mary  baptized  March  7,  1783. 

Joseph  and  William  at  same  time. 

Nicholas  the  third  son  of  Corneluis  married  Oct.  4,  1781, 
Adriantje  daughter  of  Peter  Tysen  or  Tyse,  according  to 
records  of  Marlboro  Dutch  Church,  and  had  five  children 
baptized. 

In  Book  A-2  of  deeds,  page  439,  Monmouth  County  Clerk's 
Office  is  record  of  a  deed  from  James  Thompson  and  Susan  his 
wife,  Sarah  Nivison,  William  Tysen,  John  Tysen  and  Sarah  his 
wife,  Nicholas  Van  Brunt  and  Adrian  (Adrientje  she  makes  her 
mark),  Matthias  Hulshirt  and  Elizabeth  his  wife,  Obadiah 
Tysen,  Tyle  Brewer  and  Deborah  his  wife,  heirs  and  assigns  of 
Peter  Tysen  deceased  late  of  Shrewsbury  Township,  to  George 
Tysen  for  consideration  of  one  dollar  conveys  forty-four 
and  thirty-three  hundredths  acres  in  Howell  Township,  Mon- 
mouth Co.,  New  Jersey. 

Joseph  C.  youngest  son  of  Cornelius  Van  Brunt  married  Mary 
Applegate. 

He  does  not  join  in  deed  conveying  to  Okey  Hoagland  the 
lands  devised  to  him  and  his  brother  by  his  Uncle  Hendrick 
Van  Brunt  and  named  below.  He  retained  his  share  of  this  land 
until  1815. 

For  §712,00,  he  and  his  wife  Mary  then  convey  away  all  the 
land  devised  to  him  in  will  of  his  Uncle  Hendrick  Van  Brunt 
dated  Jan.  27,  1794. 

Thus  all  the  land  left  by  Major  Hendrick  Van  Brunt  passed 
out  of  the  family. 

Geesye  the  daughter  of  Cornelius  married  Okey  Hoagland. 

In  Book  N.  of  deeds,  pages  112  etc.,  Monmouth  County  Clerk's

NEW  BRUNSWICK  LOYALISTS  OF  THE  WAR  OF  THE 
AMERICAN  REVOLUTION. 


Communicated  by  D.  R.  Jack,  Historian  of  the  New  Brunswick  Loyalists' Society; 

Cor-Secy.  of  the  New  Brunswick  Historical  Society;  Author  Centennial 

Prize  Essay,  History  of  St.  John  ;  Editor  Acadiensis  etc. 


The  causes  of  the  War  of  the  American  Revolution  and  the 
justice  of  the  claims  put  forward  by  either  of  the  parties  con- 
cerned in  that  memorable  struggle,  are  not  within  the  scope  of 
the  present  article.  That  at  its  termination  over  one  hundred 
thousand  persons  were  compelled  to  leave  the  country  to  begin 
life  again  beyond  the  borders  of  the  new  republic,  and  that  this 
movement  was  disastrous  alike  for  victor  and  vanquished  will  be 
generally  admitted.  Neither  does  it  fall  within  the  compass  of  this 
sketch  to  dwell  upon  the  possible  results  had  an  honorable  truce 
been  arranged,  and  an  effort  made  to  induce  the  Loyalists  to  cast 
in  their  lot  with  the  young  nation  which  had  just  come  into 
existence. 

As  it  was,  many  of  the  most  capable  and  highly  educated  men 
in  the  various  walks  of  life  throughout  the  land  who  had  adhered 
to  the  side  of  Great  Britain  found  themselves  at  the  close  of  the 
war  penniless,  without  a  home,  without  means  of  livelihood,  and, 
with  their  wives  and  families  were  scattered  broadcast  over  the 
British  dominions. 

Many  of  them  returned  to  Great  Britain,  many  settled  in  the 
British  West  Indies,  about  30,000  of  their  number  settled  within 
the  confines  of  the  present  Province  of  Nova  Scotia,  and  about 
1 0,000  settled  in  New  Brunswick,  then  a  portion  of  the  province 
just  named. 

The  British  Government  acted  generously,  and,  considering  the 
inadequate  facilities  for  communication  and  transportation  then 
existing,  with  fairly  commendable  promptitude.  Grants  of  land, 
either  in  town  plots,  or  for  agricultural  purposes,  were  made  as 
rapidly  as  surveys  could  be  carried  out,  and  in  the  meantime 
supplies  of  lumber  with  which  to  construct  temporary  homes 
were  delivered  to  the  distressed  and  unfortunate  people.  Full 
rations  were  granted  to  Loyalists  and  Refugees  for  the  first  year, 
half  rations  for  the  second  year,  and  one-third  rations  for  the 
third  year.  After  this  they  were  supposed  to  have  been  able  to 
make  a  new  commencement,  and  to  undertake  life's  responsibili- 
ties without  further  assistance  from  the  motherland. 

In  the  meantime  a  commission  had  been  appointed  by  the 
British  Government  to  hear  the  claims  of  the  Loyalists  for  com- 
pensation for  their  losses  in  consequence  of  the  war.      Meetings 


IQ04-1      New  Brunswick  Loyalists  of  the  War  of  the  Am.  Revolution.  39 

were  held  at  various  central  points,  and  notices  distributed  at  the 
more  remote  centres  inviting  all  those  who  considered  that  they 
were  entitled  to  compensation  to  appear  and  state  their  case  be- 
fore the  Commission. 

Unfortunately,  many,  in  their  remote  country  homes  never 
heard  of  the  appointment  of  such  a  Commission,  and  so  failed  to 
participate  in  the  partial  relief  intended  for  them,  others  were  so 
miserably  poor  that  they  could  not  afford  the  expense  incidental 
to  a  journey  to  the  nearest  point  of  meeting  and  a  proper  hear- 
ing of  their  case. 

Copies  of  the  evidence  of  those  who  did  attend,  together 
with  the  finding  of  the  Commissioners  in  the  several  cases,  are 
contained  in  more  than  sixty  huge  manuscript  volumes,  which 
may  be  consulted  in  the  Lenox  Library,  New  York.  Th( 
volumes  form  interesting  reading  to  the  student  of  Loya- 
list biography,  and  as  the  statements  made  were  taken  down 
with  much  particularity,  a  great  deal  of  history  that  would  other- 
wise have  been  lost,  has  been  preserved  for  the  present  and 
future  generations. 

It  is  impossible  at  this  remote  period  to  properly  distinguish 
in  a  list  such  as  the  following  between  the  Loyalist  and  the 
Refugee.  That  at  the  close  of  the  War  the  Loyalist  hated  and 
despised  the  Refugee  is  a  matter  of  history.  There  were  bitter 
complainings  that  a  generous  Government  should  mete  out  to 
those  who  had  run  away  rather  than  fight  for  the  cause  which 
they  had  at  first  espoused,  the  same  measure  of  relief  afforded 
to  those  who  had  manfully  borne  the  brunt  of  battle  and  suffer- 
ed honorable  defeat.  The  government  could  not  and  did  not 
discriminate  in  such  instances,  and  it  was  possibly  well  that  it 
was  so. 

Time,  the  great  healer  of  many  woes,  has  left  us  with  little  or 
no  means  of  distinguishing  the  two  classes  named. 

The  regiments  of  disbanded  loyal  troops  with  their  officers 
may  assuredly  be  classed  with  those  who  wen-  Loyalists  in  word 
and  deed,  and  the  records  of  many  more  or  less  prominent  men 
have  been  sufficiently  preserved  to  leave  no  doubt  as  to  where 
they  stood,  but  there  were  thousands  of  others  whom  it  would 
now  be  difficult  to  place,  and  of  many  of  whom  no  records  beyond 
their  actual  names  remain. 

The  series  of  articles,  to  which  these  few  words  are  intended 
as  an  introduction,  represents  what  is  probably  the  first  effort  to 
compile  a  complete  list  of  the  Loyalists  who  settled  in  what  is 
now  the  Province  of  New  Brunswick,  and  meagre  and  defective 
as  it  is,  it  represents  the  results  of  many  years  of  research, 
through  almost  every  known  source  of  information.  It  is  the 
writer's  hope,  however  that  it  may  be  the  means  of  arousing  in- 
creased interest  in  the  subject,  and  bringing  to  light  much  data 
that  is  at  present  difficult  of  access,  or  which  might  in  the  course 
of  time  become  obliterated. 

It  is  intended  to  follow  up  the  present  work  with  something 
more   detailed  and  comprehensive,   and  to  this  end  the  cordial 


4.0  New  Brunswick  Loyalists  of  the  War  of  the  Am.  Revolution.       [Jan., 

co-operation  is  solicited,  of  persons  who  may  be  able  to  assist  by 
the  suggestion  of  additional  names  obtained  either  from  private 
records  or  from  other  sources  which  may  not  have  been  consulted. 

When  it  is  remembered  that  among  the  ten  thousand  indi- 
viduals, there  was  an  unduly  large  proportion  of  women  and  child- 
ren as  a  result  of  the  war,  and  that  the  present  list  includes  over 
3,000  persons,  largely  heads  of  families  to  whom  grants  were 
made,  it  will  be  conceded  that  at  least  something  has  been  accom- 
plished towards  the  fulfillment  of  the  task  undertaken. 

An  effort  has  been  made  to  give  in  addition  to  the  full  name 
of  each  of  the  individuals  enumerated,  their  location  before  and 
after  the  war.  The  particulars  in  the  column  headed  "From" 
are  painfully  meagre,  and  an  appeal  is  made  to  readers  of  the 
"  Record"  to  furnish  information  concerning  individuals  with 
whose  history  they  may  be  familiar,  so  that  should  a  second 
edition  of  this  work  be  undertaken  it  may  be  much  more  com- 
plete than  that  which  is  now  published. 

In  the  second  column  will  be  observed  one  or  more  reference 
letters  to  which  the  following  is  the  explanation.  This  key  will 
not  again  be  published  during  the  continuance  of  the  present 
series  of  articles,  and  readers  who  are  interested  in  the  work  are 
advised  to  preserve  it  for  future  reference.      It  is  as  follows  : — 

A.  Grantees  of  Parr  Town,  now  a  portion  of  the  City  of 

St.  John. 

B.  Grantees  of  Carleton,  now  St.  John  West. 

C.  Grantees  of  St.  Andrews,  Charlotte  County. 

D.  Grantees     at     Morristown   (St.   Stephen)     The    Port 

Matoon  Association. 

E.  Chiefly    disbanded   officers   and   soldiers   of  the  74th. 

Highlanders  who  settled  in  Charlotte  County. 

F.  Grantees  of  the  74th.  Regt.  at  Digdeguash. 

G.  Grantees  of  the  74th.  Regt.  at  Schoodic  Falls. 
H.     The  Penobscot  Association. 

I.     The  Cape  Ann  Association. 

K.     Loyalists    concerning    whom  more    or  less  extensive 
notes    will    be  found   in    Sabine's  Loyalists  of  the 
American  Revolution. 
L.     Persons  buried  in  the  Loyalists  graveyard  St.  John, 
whose  gravestones  were  extant  in   1883,  see  "Loy- 
alist Centennial  Souvenir,"  published  that  year. 
M.     "  Return  of  the  Families  etc.   embarked  on  board  the 
Union  Transport,   Cousett,   Wilson    Master,   Began 
Huntingdon  Bay,  April  11th  and  completed  April 
16th  1783." 
N.     Persons   who   signed  the  Quaker  Loyalist  agreement 
"to  settle  themselves   together  on  the   River  St. 
Johns  in  Nova  Scotia." 
O.     Names   supplied  from   miscellaneous  sources,  chiefly 
the  private  records  of  the  compiler  of  this  list. 
Other  reference  letters  will  probably  be  added  as  the  pub- 
lication progresses.

1904.]  The  Origin  of  the  Name,  Storm    Van  Der7.ee.  45 

THE  ORIGIN  OF  THE  NAME,  STORM    VAN    DER   ZEE. 


By  Alfred  L.  Becker. 


Among  the  papers  of  Killian  Van  Rensselaer,  first  patroon  of 
Rensselaerswyck,  in  New  Netherland,  which  are  the  property  of 
the  Van  Rensselaer-Bowier  family  of  Amsterdam,  Holland,  is 
the  log  or  journal  kept  by  the  skipper  of  the  ship,  "The  Arms 
of  Rensselaerswyck,"  of  a  voyage  to  America  in  1636-7.  A  pack- 
age of  these  papers,  perhaps  all  of  them,  are  now  in  the  posses- 
sion of  the  State  Library  at  Albany,  New  York.  They  have 
been  loaned  to  the  State  until  February,  1904,  to  permit  copies 
and  translations  to  be  made  for  publication  ;  their  appearance  as 
a  publication  of  the  State  maybe  expected  during  the  coming  year. 

The  log  above  mentioned  contains  an  item  of  especial  inter- 
est to  the  many  descendants  of  that  picturesque  character  of 
early  Albany,  Storm  Van  der  Zee.  It  is  a  confirmation  of  the 
tradition  current  in  the  family  that  he  was  called  "Storm  from 
the  Sea"  because  he  was  born  on  the  voyage  to  New  Netherland 
during  a  storm.  His  father's  surname  was  not  Van  der  Zee,  but 
Bratt.  Albert  Andriesz  Bratt  "de  Noorman"  was  indeed  the 
common  ancestor  of  the  Bratt  and  Van  der  Zee  families,  and  be- 
sides he  gave  his  name  to  the  Norman's  Kill,  a  stream  just  south 
of  Albany  which  runs  through  the  "Vale  of  Tawasentha"  of 
Longfellow's  Hiawatha,  into  the  Hudson  River.  On  the  banksof 
this  creek  Albert  de  Noorman  settled  about  the  year  1637,  there 
he  lived  with  his  wife  Annetje  Barents  Van  Rotmers,  and  with 
his  second  wife,  Geetruy  Vosburg,  from  whom  he  was  divorced, 
and  when  he  died,  June  7,  1686,  the  chronicler  who  recorded  his 
death  took  pains  to  state  that  he  was  "one  of  the  earliest  dwellers 
in  the  Colony  of  Rensselaerswyck. 

Just  half  a  century  before,  September  25,  1636,  the  "Arms  of 
Rensselaerswyck"  set  sail  from  Amsterdam,  and  it  seems  that 
Albert  Andriesz  and  his  wife,  Annetje  Barents,  were  passengers. 
They  were  a  young  couple  from  Frederikstad,  Norway,  as  it 
appears  from  Killian  Van  Rensselaer's  journal  of  his  administra- 
tion as  patroon,  another  of  the  Van  Rensselaer-Bowier  manu- 
script. Their  ship  spent  New  Year's  day  and  a  week  or  two  be- 
sides at  Ilfracombe,  Eng.,  on  the  Bristol  Channel,  arrived  in  New 
York,  in  March,  and  finally  at  Beverwyck,  Albany,  April,  7,  1637. 

Under  date  of  November  2,  1636,  the  log,  which  is  stated  to 
be  a  journal  prepared  for  the  Skipper,  Jan  Tiepkesz  Schellinger, 
contains  an  entry  of  which  the  following  is  a  literal    translation  : 

"Sunday,  2nd  ditto:  Ran  16  miles  North-East  by  East,  the 
wind  about  West ;  by  guess,  latitude  41  degrees,  50  minutes  ;  with 
exceedingly  rough  sea  ("met  heel  hoi  waeter,  "  —  literally,  very 
hollow  water)  ;  this  day  the  waves  broke  over  our  helm  repeated- 
ly, with  the  stormy  weather ;  this  day  was  born  here  on  the  ship 
a  child,  who  was  given  the  name,  and  in  England  was  baptized, 
Storm ;  the  mother,  Annetie  Barents ;  the  above  the  events  of 
the  day. "

DAVID  COLE. 


By  Rev.  Melatiah  E.  Dwight. 


The  Rev.  David  Cole,  D.  D.,  educator,  clergyman  and  author, 
died  October  20,  1903,  at  Yonkers,  N.  Y.,  aged  eighty-one  years. 
He  became  prominent  as  a  teacher  and  afterward  as  a  minister 
of  the  Reformed  Church,  but  it  is  especially  because  of  his  zeal 
in  behalf  of  local  history  and  genealogy,  and  his  many  contribu 
tions  to  the  same,  that  his  name  is  honored  in  genealogical 
circles.  He  was  the  author  of  "The  History  of  Rockland  County, 
N.  Y. "  as  well  as  of  other  similar  works,  and  it  is  on  account  of 
these  labors  that  the  following  sketch  of  his  long  and  useful  life 
is  given  in  the  Record.  There  are  too  few  like  him  who  are 
ready  to  devote  the  leisure  moments  snatched  from  laborious  pro- 
fessional duties  to  the  study  of  the  records  of  the  locality  in 
which  they  reside,  and  who  are  interested  in  the  simple  annals 
of  the  men  and  women, — for  the  most  part  lowly  pioneers  in  the 
march  of  a  benign  civilization — who  have  lived  there  before  them. 
We  therefor  gratefully  pay  this  tribute  to  his  memory. 

David  Cole  was  born,  September  22,  1822,  at  the  family  home- 
stead in  Spring  Valley,  N.  Y.  He  was  of  pure  Holland  descent. 
His  father  was  the  Rev.  Isaac  D.  Cole,  son  of  David  Cole  and 
grandson  of  Isaac  Cole,  all  of  Tappan,  N.  Y.  The  latter  was  the 
fourth  in  descent  from  Barent  Jacobsen  Kool,  one  of  the  officers 
of  the  West  India  Company  in  New  Amsterdam  as  early  as  1633. 
His  mother  was  Anna  Maria  Shatzel,  daughter  of  John  Michael 
Shatzel,  Jr.,  of  New  York.  He  received  his  preparatory  educa- 
tion under  his  father's  tuition  and  then  entered  Rutgers  College, 
from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1842.  After  graduation  he 
adopted  the  profession  of  teaching  and  continued  to  follow  it  for 
more  than  sixteen  years.  He  first  taught  a  select  school  near 
his  father's  residence  in  Tappan  and  afterward  a  similar  one  in 
New  Brunswick,  N.  J.  In  1851  he  became  the  principal  of 
Trenton  Academy  (founded  in  1 771)  at  Trenton,  N.  J.  Largely 
through  his  instrumentality  the  State   Normal   School    of   New 

iersey  was  founded  in  1854.  The  same  year  he  was  appointed 
y  Gov.  Rodman  M.  Price  a  member  of  its  first  board  of  trustees, 
and  in  1857  was  made  professor  of  Latin  and  Greek  in  that  insti- 
tution. 

For  some  time  previous  to  this  latter  appointment  he  had 
been  privately  studying  for  the  ministry,  and  had  established 
and  carried  on  a  mission  which  became  finally  the  Fifth  Presby- 
terian Church  of  Trenton.  He  was  licensed  to  preach,  April,  13, 
1858  at  Pennington,  N.  J.,  by  the  Presbytery  of  New  Brunswick, 
and  on  the  28th,  of  November  of  the  same  year  was  ordained  to 
the  ministry  by  the  Classis  of  New  Brunswick  and  installed  as 
pastor  of  the  Reformed  Church  of  East  Millstone,  Somerset  Co., 
N.  J.     In  February  1863  he  was  elected   Professor  of  the   Greek

Language  and  Literature  in  Rutgers  College,  and  he  continued 
to  hold  this  chair  until  February  10,  1866  when  he  was  installed 
in  the  pastoral  charge  of  the  Reformed  Church  of  Yonkers,  X.  V 

He  continued  to  serve  this  church  with  great  acceptance  and 
ability  for  the  long  period  of  thirty-one  years,  when  on  Septem- 
ber 1st,  1897  he  resigned  his  charge,  having  reached  the  advanced 
age  of  seventy-five  years.  During  his  pastorate  the  present 
handsome  edifice  of  the  First  Reformed  Church  was  elected. 
He  received  the  honorary  title  of  Doctor  of  Divinity  from 
Franklin  and  Marshall  College  in  1865,  and  was  President  of  the 
General  Synod  of  the  Reformed  Church  in  1S84. 

Dr.  Cole  was  an  able  and  prolific  writer.  His  published 
works,  the  table  of  which  occupies  one  whole  page  of  "The 
Manual  of  the  Reformed  Church  in  America"  are  too  numerous 
to  mention  in  this  article.  His  first  appearance  as  an  author  was 
in  a  small  "Manual  of  English  Grammar"  published  in  1848, 
which  was  followed  by  a  larger  work  entitled  "  Principles  of 
English  Grammar,  Applied."  In  1854  he  delivered  an  address  be- 
fore the  State  Legislature  upon  the  "  Needs  of  the  New  Jersey 
Public  School  System"  which  was  published  for  general  circula- 
tion, and  the  same  year  he  read  a  paper  on  "Classical  Education" 
at  the  Smithsonian  Institution  which  was  published  and  which 
attracted  much  attention  both  in  this  country  and  abroad.  After 
his  entrance  into  the  ministry  his  published  works  consisted 
mainly  of  sermons  preached  upon  special  occasions  and  historical 
addresses.  He  was  greatly  interested  in  church  and  local  annals 
and  was  a  gifted  public  speaker.  Accordingly  his  services  were 
in  demand  whenever  the  occasion  called  for  a  commemorative, 
or  anniversary,  discourse.  Among  the  more  important  of  these 
are:  "Historical  Address  at  Bi-Centennial  of  Founding  of 
Yonkers  City  Hall  Building,"  1882;  "Historical  Sermon  at 
Fortieth  Anniversary  of  the  Reformed  Church  of  Yonkers, " 
1883;  "  Historical  Address  at  Bi-Centennial  of  the  Organization 
of  the  old  Dutch  Church  of  Sleepy  Hollow,  Tarrytown,  *'  1897  ; 
and  the  "  Historical  Address  at  Centennial  of  Founding  of  Rock- 
land County,  N.  Y. "  1898.  In  1876  Dr  Cole  published  an  elab- 
orate genealogy  of  his  own  family  under  the  title  of  "Isaac  Cole 
and  Catharine  Servin."  In  1876  he  edited  the  "History  of 
Rockland  County,  New  York,"  and  in  1886  contributed  a  "  Hist'  >rv 
of  Yonkers"  to  Scharf's  History  of  Westchester  County.  In  1894 
he  published  the  "History  of  the  Reformed  Church  of  Tappan, 
N.  Y.  "  which  was  prepared  for  the  bi-centennial  of  that  church. 
His  last  publication  was  the  "  First  Record  Book  of  the  Old 
Dutch  Church  of  Sleepy  Hollow  ;  a  Translation  of  its  Minutes 
and  Elaborate  Copy  of  its  Registers  with  Exhaustive  Index  " 

Dr.  Cole  was  an  accomplished  scholar  and  theologian,  a 
faithful  minister,  a  model  citizen,  and  a  man  of  singular  nobility 
and  purity  of  character,  affectionate,  generous  and  accessible  to 
all.  He  possessed  to  a  high  degree  the  public  confidence  and 
esteem,  and  was  beloved  by  his  ministerial  associates.  At  his 
death  the  whole  city  mourned,  and  the  pastors  of  the  several 
churches  assisted  at  his  burial.     Later  at  a  memorial  service  min-

isters  and  laymen  united  in  paying  a  last  tribute  to  his  memory, 
and  a  resolution  was  offered  that  a  monument  be  erected  to 
him  as  a  testimonial  of  the  esteem  in  which  he  was  held  for  his 
valuable  services  to  the  people  of  Yonkers. 

He  was  married,  April  18,  1884,  to  Abigail  D.  Wyckoff, 
daughter  of  Jacob  Wyckoff  and  Elizabeth  Van  Deventer,  both  of 
New  Brunswick.  She  died  August  27,  1902.  They  celebrated 
their  golden  wedding  in  1894.  A  daughter  and  four  sons  sur-

church  record,  giving  the  baptism  of  "Daniel,  son  of  Thomai  Fuller.  April  4.  1731  "  Either 
this  is  an  error  of  the  record  in  name  and  date,  or  that  Daniel  d  young.  In  1757.  d.  Jonathan 
Fuller,  son  of  Thomas  (No.  ty),  and  his  estate  was  divided  among  his  brothers  and  sisters, 
among  whom  no  Daniel  appears.  I  now  believe  that  the  church  record  is  in  error,  and  refers 
to  Daniel  (72),  son  of  Matthias.

EDITORIAL. 

We  have  before  us  a  letter  from  a  valued   friend  and  esteemed  corres- 

fjondent  touching  upon  that  phase  of  genealogical  work  in  which  we  have  been 
ong  and  deeply  interested, — the  preservation  of  local  records.  In  view  of  the 
fact  that  his  question  and  suggestions  are  of  interest  to  those  concerned  in  the 
matter,  we  take  this  occasion  to  reply  to  the  one  and  comment  upon  the  other. 
Our  correspondent  asks  whether  it  is  not  possible  to  build  up  among  the 
members  of  various  patriotic  and  historical  societies  a  fund  for  the  purpose  of 


66  Obituary.  [Jan., 

carrying  on  the  work  in  a  business-like  way;  and  to  his  question  we,  under  the 
burden  of  much  experience,  reply  sadly,  ashamedly,  but  simply, — no.  Why? 
For  countless  reasons,  among  which  are  diverse  other  interests,  innumerable 
demands  upon  the  purse  in  our  modern,  complex  life,  and  finally,  apathy.  We 
have  found  that  there  are  many  in  whom  "  the  spirit  is  williug  but  the  flesh  is 
weak,"  while  the  great  majority  of  the  financially  strong  are  apathetic  in  spirit. 

Again,  our  correspondent  asks  if  some  plan  could  not  be  devised  which 
would  create  an  interest  in  the  individual  towns  and,  by  agitation  in  their  local 
papers,  stimulate  them  to  preserve  their  own  records.  To  this  we  reply  per- 
haps it  could;  but  the  plan  would  be  long  in  producing  effect,  for  the  editor  or 
contributor  to  the  local  paper  would  have  to  eternally  keep  at  it,  and  bide  the 
time  when,  by  chance,  his  seed  should  fall  upon  fertile  soil  and  blossom  forth 
in  some  individual  in  the  town,  who  should  push  the  matter  to  completion.  We 
know  of  some  instances  where  the  blossoming  required  three  generations  of 
growth.  Beside,  such  agitation  ought  to  be  carried  on  methodically  over  an 
extended  territory,  and  supervised  by  some  one  centrally  located,  thoroughly 
imbued  with  the  subject,  financially  independent,  patient,  indefatigable  and 
generous  in  the  pursuance  of  a  labor  of  love.  With  all  these  necessary  quali- 
fications in  mind,  to  whom  can  we  point  and  say,  "  Behold  the  Man? " 

Our  correspondent  suggests  conferring  honorary  membership  in  historical 
societies  upon  professional  genealogists  who  have  copied,  or  will  copy,  local 
records  for  their  own  use,  and  will  present  them  to  these  societies.  Professional 
genealogists  guard  such  records  jealously  and  regard  them  as  valuable  per- 
sonal property.     Besides  they  are  not  always  accurate. 

So  far  we  have  been  tearing  down  a  structure,  stone  by  stone.  Day 
laborers  can  do  that,  but  it  requires  the  master  mechanic  to  build  one.  Let  us 
try  to  do  this.  The  key-note  of  our  correspondent's  questions  and  suggestions 
is  Voluntary  Labor.  It  is  the  corner-stone  of  his  structure.  We  have  tried  to 
build  upon  it  ourselves  but  invariably  found  it  too  weak.  The  antithesis  is 
Business  Method.  If  we  employ  the  energy  necessary  to  stimulate  the  former 
in  effecting  the  latter,  we  shall  soon  be  able  to  sit  down  and  enjoy  the  first 
fruits  of  our  labor.  Agitate  then  the  passage  by  our  State  Legislature  of  a  bill 
which  shall  provide  for  the  appointment  of  a  State  Commissioner  of  Public 
Records  with  an  adequate  salary  and  necessary  funds,  whose  duty  it  shall  be 
to  search  out  these  local  records,  transcribe  them,  publish  them  in  an  annual 
report  and  then  compel  the  proper  preservation  of  the  originals;  and  lo  !  the 
riddle  is  solved.  Such  a  man  would  be  centrally  located,  interested  in  his 
subject,  financially  independent  and  working  for  his  hire.  With  these  qualifi- 
cations in  mind  there  are  many  to  whom  we  could  point  and  say,  "  Behold  the 
Man."

Green,  Andrew  Hasweli.,  one  of  the  most  distinguished  members  of 
the  New  York  Genealogical  and  Biographical  Society,  died  Nov.  13,  1903,  aged 
eighty-three  years.  He  was  killed  at  his  own  doorway  by  a  negro  whose 
unbalanced  mind  had  conjured  up  a  grievance  against  him.  He  was  born 
Oct.  6,  1820,  in  Worcester,  Mass.,  and  was  the  son  of  William  Elijah  Green  by 
his  third  wife,  Julia  Plympton.  His  father  graduated  from  Brown  University 
in  1798,  and  was  a  lawyer  by  profession.  His  grandfather  was  Dr.  John  Green, 
a  physician,  who  married  for  his  second  wife,  Mary,  daughter  of  General  Tim- 
othy Ruggles  of  Sandwich,  Mass.,  by  his  wife  Bathsheba  Bourne,  the  daughter 
of  Hon.  Slelatiah  Bourne  of  Barnstable,  Mass.,  by  his  wife,  Desire  Chipman, 
the  daughter  of  Elder  John  Chipman  and  Hope  Howl.ind,  daughter  of  John 
Howland  of  the  M,i\  ''■;<  r,  1620.  He  was  proud  of  his  Pilgrim  ancestry  and 
was  a  member  of  the  Society  of  Mayflower  Descendants  in  the  State  of  New 
York.  He  never  married  and  at  his  decease  was  living  with  his  nieces, 
Lucy  M.  and  Mary  Ruggles  Green,  at  01    Park  Avenue,  in    New  York  City. 

Mr.  Green  at  the  tune  of  his  death  was  in  the  possession  of  all  his  faculties 
and  his  strength  was  unabated.  The  news  of  his  untimelv  end  shocked  the 
whole  city  and  called  forth  universal  expression  of  grief.  He  came  to  NYw 
York  in  1835,  studied  law  in  the  office  of  Samuel   J.  Tilden  and  afterward  be-

came  his  law-partner.  Although  actively  engaged  in  the  practice  of  his  pro- 
fession he  took  a  deeper  interest  in  civic  affairs.  With  a  singular  devotion  to 
the  city  of  his  adoption  he  made  it  his  real  business  to  foster  and  defend  its 
welfare.  There  is  hardly  a  passage  in  its  history  for  the  past  fifty  years 
which  is  not  associated  with  his  name,  and  in  the  most  important  steps  of  its 
progress  he  was  the  pioneer  in  the  march  of  its  advancement.  By  beginning 
and  carrying  to  a  successful  completion  the  effort  for  the  consolidation  of  New 
York  and  Brooklyn  and  the  surrounding  communities  he  won  for  himself  the 
splendid  title  of  "  The  Father  of  Greater  New  York,"  and  at  the  time  of  his 
death  he  was  acknowledged  to  be  its  foremost  citizen.  "It  may  truthfully  be 
said  that  to  no  one  man  who  has  labored  in  and  for  the  city  during  the  last 
fifty  years  is  the  city  under  greater  and  more  lasting  obligations  than  to  Andrew 
H.  Green.  The  city  itself,  in  some  of  its  most  beautiful  and  most  enduring 
features,  is  the  monument  of  his  love;  and  the  city  may  well  cherish  his  hon- 
ored name  with  the  undying  gratitude  that  is  due  to  a  citizen  who  has  made  it 
both  a  greater  and  a  better  city  than  it  was." — (Mayor  Low  in  his  message  to 
the  Board  of  Aldermen.) 

An  adequate  sketch  of  Mr.  Green's  useful  and  distinguished  career  will 
appear  in  a  subsequent  number  of  the  Record. 


Lee,  David  Bradley,  a  member  of  this  Society  since  Nov.,  1888,  died 
Aug.  25,  1903,  in  New  York  City,  aged  sixty-nine  years.  He  was  born  at 
College  Place,  New  York  City,  March  16,  1834,  and  was  the  son  of  David  Lee, 
a  merchant  and  banker  of  New  York  City,  who  was  born  in  Ridgefield,  Conn.,  in 
1787,  and  died  in  New  York,  Jan.,  1853.  He  was  the  grandson  of  David  Lee,  of 
Ridgefield,  and  Esther  Banks,  who  was  the  son  of  William  Lee  of  Ridgefield, 
and  Sarah  Bates,  and  grandson  of  William  Lee  of  Norwalk,  Conn.,  and  Mehit- 
able  Ruscoe.  His  mother  was  Anne  Duryea  Phillips,  a  great  granddaughter 
of  Gov.  Saltonstall  and  a  descendant  of  Gov.  Winthrop.  She  died  abroad 
in  March,  1899,  aged  ninety-three  years.  He  was  one  of  the  oldest  living 
members  of  the  Union  Club,  having  been  elected  a  member  of  it  when  only 
seventeen  years  old  and  for  many  years  lived  at  the  club  house  when  it  was 
located  at  the  corner  of  Fifth  Avenue  and  Twenty-first  Street. 

He  was  married  Aug.,  25,  1895,  at  St.  Martin's  Church,  London,  to  Agnes 
Giles,  youngest  daughter  of  the  late  Major  Giles,  U.  S.  A.  After  his  marriage 
he  lived  abroad  until  the  death  of  his  mother,  when  he  returned  to  New  York. 
Mr.  Lee  had  a  brother  Eugene  Thompson  Lee,  who  died  in  childhood,  and  four 
sisters :  Anna  Phillips,  who  never  married  and  died  in  France  in  1882  ;  Blanche, 
who  married  in  New  York  City,  Capt.,  Augustus  Chas.  Murray  of  the  Royal 
Navy,  and  is  now  living  in  Paris;  Josephine,  who  married  in  Paris,  Baron  von 
Waechter-Lautenbach,  Minister  Plenipotentiary  of  Wurtemberg  at  the  Court 
of  the  Tuilleries  for  twenty  years:  and  Mary,  who  married,  first,  at  Paris, 
Prince  Frederick  of  Schleswig-Holstein,  brother  of  the  Queen  of  Denmark  and 
grand  uncle  of  the  Empress  of  Germany.  After  Prince  Frederick's  death  she 
was  created  Princess  of  Noer  by  the  Empress  of  Austria,  and  married  Count 
Alfred  von  Waldersee  at  Lautenbach,  Germany,  Field  Marshall  and  General 
Aid-de-Camp  of  the  Kaiser.  The  Baroness  von  Waechter-Lautenbach.  and  the 
Countess  Von  Waldersee  came  from  Germany  at  the  news  of  their  brother's 
illness  and  were  present  at  his  funeral.     He  left  no  children.

Tefft. — The  undersigned  would  be  grateful  for  information  concerning 
the  parentage  of  Royal  Tefft,  born  Dec.  31,  1789,  who  married  181 1,  Miss

van  Vlierden.— In  1788  my  great-grandfather,  I'etrus  van  Ylierden,  de- 
parted from  Holland  to  St.  Croix,  where  he  was  named  a  curate. 

He  was  accompanied  by  his  second  wife  and  children  from  this  marriage. 

From  there  Petrus  van  Vlierden  went  in  1793  to  Catskill,  N.  Y.,  where  he 
was  named  a  curate.  His  second  wife,  Maria  Magdalena  Houtkoper,  daughter 
of  J.  H.  Houtkoper  and  F.  Both,  with  whom  he  married  at  Amsterdam  on  the 
27th  Oct.,  1784,  died  at  Catskill  the  13th  Feb.,  1799.  Out  of  this  marriage 
issued  seven  children,  dates  and  names  of  their  birthplaces  are  unknown  to  me. 

Sept.  3,  1800,  Petrus  married  at  Catskill  his  third  wife,  named  Jane  Ketel- 
tas,  second  daughter  to  the  curate  Abraham  Keteltas.     He  died  13th  Feb.,  1 82 1. 

Five  children  from  his  second  marriage  were  at  that  time  still  alive  and 
they  corresponded  with  their  stepbrother,  Abraham  Tzeeuwen  van  Vlierden, 
sugar  planter  on  St.  Thomas  I  West  Indies). 

April  14th,  1827,  Abraham  Tzeeuwen  wrote  to  his  brother  in  Holland, 
Matthys  van  Vlierden  (grandfather  of  the  undersigned  I,  that  the  five  children 
of  the  second  marriage  "I  their  father  were  still  all  alive,  married,  had  children 
and  lived  on  their  own  farms  in  the  State  of  New  York.  The  names  of  these 
children  were: 

1.  Johanna  Augusta  Catharina. 

2.  Jan  Hendrik. 

3.  Catharina  Hendrika. 

4.  Maria  Magdalena. 

5.  Petrus. 

(These  children  must  have  been  born  between  1784  and  1799.) 
Nov.    3d,    1796,    the    above    mentioned    Abraham    Tzeeuwess,  who  had 
followed  his  father  to  the  West  Indies,  married  at  St.  Croix,  Magdalena  Rogiers, 
daughter  of  Johannes  Rogiers,  sugar  planter  there,  and  Elisabeth  Suhm. 

From  the  eight  children  issued  out  of  this  marriage,  the  following  were  still 
alive  in  1827: 

1.  Elisabeth  Suhm.b.  at  St.  Croix,  March  7,  1709. 

2.  Petrus,  b.  at  St.  Croix,  July  27,  1803. 

3.  Warnerus  Christiaan,  b.  at  St.  Thomas,  Nov.  11,1810. 

4.  Maria  Wilhelmina,  b.  at  St.  Thomas,  March  5,  1814. 

Since  1827  we  have  heard  nothing  from  these  branches  of  our  family. 
Only  1  know  that  in  1887,  there  were  no  more  Van  Ylierdens  living  at  the  Dan- 
ish Antilles.  A  family  tradition  says  that  they  were  all  killed  in  a  slave  rev- 
olution there. 

As  I  am  making  a  genealogy  of  the  family  van  Vlierdens,  I  should  like  to 
receive  information,  if  there  are  still  living  descendants  of  Petrus  van  Vlierden 
in  the  United  States  and  if  they  are  in  the  possession  of  papers  concerning  the 
family,  I  beg  them  kindly  to  send  information  to  the  editor  of  the  Record  or 
direct  to  the  undersigned. 

Perhaps  members  of  the"  Holland  Club  "  are  able  to  give  some  informa- 
tion. 

Petrus  was  son  of  Jacob  van  Vlierden  and  Johanna  Augusta  Brandt.      He

war  born  at  Hattem,  (Holland),  April   13,   1736,  and  before  his  departure  to 
America  was  a  curate,  first,  at  Varik,  and  second,  at  Waardenburg  (Holland). 

COLONEL  C.  PH.  J.  VAN  VLIERDEN, 

Arnhem,  (Holland). 

Concerning  the  following  queries  I  desire  to  procure  information  from  any 
readers  of  the  Record  who  may  be  informed. 

(1)  GeorgeStanton  is  mentioned  as  having  belonged  to  the  Ulster  Co.  Mil- 
itia and  will  probably  be  found  in  the  early  records  of  Kingston.  Can  anyone 
identify  him  and  tell  whether  this  was  George  Stanton  of  New  York  City  who 
was  brother  of  Henry  and  son  of  another  Henry? 

(2)  Who  was  the  wife  of  Christopher  Sturgis  of  Stamford  and  Fairfield,  Conn.? 

(3)  Can  any  reader  tell  anything  about  the  origin  of  Gustav  Martin  Ruhl 
who  is  mentioned  in  the  Burhans  collection  of  church  records  among  deaths 
given  among  members  of  the  German  Lutheran  Church  as  their  Deacon.  This 
record  is  as  follows:  "22  Aug.,  1742,  Gustav  Martin  Ruhl, — Our  Deacon,  hon- 
orable &  Beloved  of  all  upright  people." 

Under  marriages  in  the  same  record  I  find:  1737,  April  12.  Married  at 
Hackingsack,  Gustav  Martin  Ruhl  y.  m.  Maria  Margaretha  Bimper,  both  of 
New  York.  His  wife's  name  is  spelled  "  Bemper"  in  other  places  in  the  Dutch 
records.     I  am  inclined  to  think  Ruhl  was  a  Palatine  German. 

(4)  Can  any  reader  tell  anything  about  the  family  of  Abner  Hunt  of  West- 
chester, N.  Y.?  He  was  probably  a  Friend.  His  daughter,  Martha,  married 
Isaac  Carpenter  of  Harrison  in  175 1.  Abner  was  then  spoken  of  as  deceased 
and  as  of  Westchester.  The  marriage  of  Martha  and  Isaac  Carpenter  had 
been  brought  before  the  meetings  of  the  Society  of  Friends  for  Harrison's 
Purchase  and  Mamaroneck  and  some  information  ought  to  be  contained  in 
these  records  which  are  very  inaccessible  to  average  students  of  genealogy. 

(5)  Have  any  of  the  readers  of  the  Record  any  notes  concerning  the  Smith 
family  of  Stamford  and  that  vicinity?  Humphrey  Denton  is  said  to  have  mar- 
ried Abigail  Smith,  though  she  is  elsewhere  spoken  of  as  Abigail  Mead. 

(6)  Thomas  June  of  Stamford,  Conn.,  married  Feb.  17,  1714,  Sarah  Smith. 
Can  anyone  tell  her  parentage  and  ancestry? 

(7)  The  first  of  the  Lounsbury  line  of  Connecticut,  Richard  Lounsbury  is 
said  to  have  married  Elizabeth  DuBois.  Can  anyone  confirm  this  and  give 
her  parentage?  It  is  supposed  she  belonged  to  the  DuBois  family  of  the  Hud- 
son River  valley. 

(8)  Can  anyone  tell  the  ancestry  of  Maria  Warner  who  married  Henry  Stan- 
ton (see  Dutch  records),  Oct.  7,  1732? 

(9)  Who  was  Hannah,  wife  of  Thos.  Carman,  probably  second  generation  of 
the  Carman  family.  Was  the  wife  of  his  father,  John  Carman,  Florence  Ford- 
ham? 

(10)  I  would  like  information  concerning  the  very  early  branches  of  the  fol- 
lowing families:  Valentine,  Foster,  Powell,  Alsop,  Thornicraft,  of  Long  Island, 
ami  Denton  of  Long  Island  and  Greenwich,  Conn.;  Clay,  Smith,  Potter,  Sturgis 
and  Lyon  of  Connecticut  (mostly  of  Greenwich,  Stamford,  etc.,  but  some  of 
them  possibly  of  Rye,  N.  Y.),  and  Alsop  of  New  York  and  Long  Island,  and 
Potts  of  Newtown,  L.  I.,  but  stated  in  Shotwell's  Annals  to  be  of  Honey  Neck, 
Conn,  (this  last  place  I  have  never  been  able  to  find).  I  would  also  like  to 
know  whether  any  of  the  readers  of  the  Record  can  tell  anything  about  the 
family  of  Daniel  Dunbar  of  New  York  at  about  1750  to  1801?  He  was  a  prom- 
inent merchant  there  and  married  Naomi  Shotwell,  at  that  time  widow  of 
Israel  Hallett  of  Newtown,  L.  I. 

For  the  most  part  the  information  wanted  is  to  ascertain  something 
about  the  parentage  of  the  wives  of  the  earliest  generations  of  these  families, 
but  in  some  cases  so  little  has  been  written  about  these  families,  or  they  are 
cases  where  it  is  desirable  to  differentiate  the  individuals  from  others  of  like 
names,  that  any  information  would  be  welcome  about  these  matters  from  those 
who  may  have  notes.  This  is  particularly  true  in  the  case  of  the  Alsop  family 
about  which  very  little  information  has  apparently  been  given  to  the  public 
who  might  be  interested. 

I  will  be  glad  to  freely  exchange  information  with  those  interested.

Genealogy  of  a  Part  of  the  Third  Branch  of  the  Schermek- 
horn  Family  in  the  United  States.  Compiled  by  Louis  Y.  Schermer- 
horn,  C.  E.  Printed  for  private  circulation.  J.  15.  Lippincott  Company,  Phila- 
delphia, 1903.     Quarto,  cloth,  pp.  19. 

In  a  letter  to  the  Society  accompanying  a  presentation  copy  of  this  inter- 
esting little  book,  Mr.  Schermerhorn,  the  compiler,  says:  "  In  the  compilation 
of  this  booklet  I  have  confined  the  published  material  to  my  direct  line  ominit- 
ting  collateral  families,  but  in  its  collection  1  have  secured  a  large  amount  of 
material  relating  to  these  collateral  branches.  If  there  are  any  members  of  the 
family  who  are  interested  in  this  subject  I  will  be  glad  to  place  the  information, 
without  charge,  at  their  disposal." 

We  have  no  doubt  that  this  generous  offer  will  be  gladly  taken  advantage 
of,  but  we  sincerely  hope  that  he  will  himself  utilize  the  material  in  the  publi- 
cation of  a  more  extended  record  of  this  important  family,  which  the  work  be- 
fore us  shows  that  he  is  thoroughly  capable  of  doing.  The  book  is  beautifully 
printed  anil  hound  and  contains  as  a  frontispiece,  the  Schermerhorn  coat-OI- 
arms,  in  colors.  Mr.  Schermerhorn's  address  is  510  Mariner  and  Merchant

Genealogy  of  the  Claflin  Family;  being  a  record  of  Robert  Mack- 
clothlan  of  Wenham,  Mass.,  and  of  his  descendants,  1661-1898.  By  Charles 
Henry  Wight,  member  of  the  The  Long  Island  Historical  Society.  8vo,cloth, 
pp.  473.     New  York,  1903. 

This  is  a  well  arranged  record  of  a  prominent  family,  and  shows  the  care- 
ful work  of  a  genealogist  who  evidently  believes  that  long  eulogistic  biogra- 
phies and  family  legends  are  not  essential  to  a  good  gci  hut  still  hopes 
that  his  "work  will  stimulate  a  love  for  the  ties  of  kindred  and  tor  the  mem- 
ory of  worthy  ancestors."  The  book  contains  records  of  nearly  4,000  persons, 
besides  a  number  of  "  unconnected  Claflins,"  and  an  appendix  of  families  con- 
nected by  marriage.  The  work  is  beautifully  printed  and  bound  and  has  a 
good  index.    Copies  can  be  obtained  of  the  author,  128  Broadway,  N.  Y.  City.

Manchester,  N.  H.     The  John  B.  Clarke  Co.    1903.    8vo,  pamphlet,  7  pp. 

This  sketch  is  arranged  from  the  book  of  genealogical  records  compiled 
by  the  late  Rev.  Joseph  A.  Lamb  of  Old  Mystic,  Conn.,  who  died  April  3,  1893, 
and  copied  by  his  daughter,  Miss  Lucie  A.  Lamb,  with  extensive  additions  and 
corrections  by  Frank  B.  Lamb  and  Fred.  W.  Lamb.  It  treats  of  the  descend- 
ants of  Isaac  Lamb  of  New  London,  Conn.,  who  settled  there  about  1695  or 
1696. 

New  Harlem  Past  and  Present.  The  story  of  an  amazing  civic 
wrong,  now  at   last  to  be  righted.     By  Carl    Horton  Pierce.     With  a  review  of 

the  principles  of  law  involved  in  the  recovery  of  the  Harlem  lands.  By  Wil- 
liam Pennington  Toler  and  Harmon  He  Pau  Nutting,  members  of  the  New- 
York  Bar.  Profusely  Illustrated.  New  York.  The  New  Harlem  Publishing 
Co.,  16  East  23d  St.     1903.    8vo,  cloth,  pp.  xiv-f-332  and  two  maps. 

It  is  not  the  province  of  this  review  to  enter  into  or  discuss  the  merits  or 
demerits  of  the  controversy  which  the  authors  of  this  work  are  attempting  to 
revive  ;  merely  to  set  forth  the  contents  of  the  book  with  a  clear  statement  of 
its  aims  and  objects.  We  all  know  that  such  a  place  as  Harlem  once  existed, 
for  we  are  familiar  with  its  history  by  Mr.  Riker,  published  in  1881,  and  it  is 
easily  in  the  memory  of  even  that  generation  of  New  Yorkers  now  in  the 
thirties  when  the  Manhattan  Elevated  trains  passed  over  an  unsettled  tract  in 
the  region  of  110th  Street  and  came  into  another  "  settlement,"  as  it  were,  at 
125th. 

Draw  a  line  across  a  map  of  Manhattan  Island  from  74th  street  and  the 
East  River  to  129th  and  the  Hudson,  and  all  of  the  Island  lying  above  that 
line,  even  as  far  as  Spuyten  Duyvil,  constituted  the  territory  of  New  Harlem, 
according  to  this  book.  The  authors  claim  that  this  land,  together  with  the 
meadows  lying  immediately  opposite  in  the  Borough  of  the  Bronx,  was  granted 


J  2  Book  Notices.  [Jan., 

to  the  town  of  New  Harlem  by  a  Patent  issued  by  Gov.  Nicolls  in  1666,  ratified 
by  another  Patent  issued  by  the  same  Governor  in  1667,  and  confirmed  by  a 
third  Patent  issued  by  Gov.  Dongan  in  1686,  in  which  were  named  23  Paten- 
tees. The  authors  of  this  work  contend  that  the  land  so  granted  belongs  to 
the  heirs  of  these  patentees,  except  such  of  it  as  has  been  already  legally  con- 
veyedor  otherwise  alienated.  This  of  Course  includes  most  of  the  tract,  for 
the  records  will  show  these  transfers.  The  land  really  in  question  is  three 
parcels,  one  at  106th  Street  and  Fifth  Avenue,  one  at  204th  St.  and  the  Hud- 
son, (both  of  which  it  is  claimed  were  never  divided),  and  a  third  parcel  which 
is  the  land  exposed  at  low  tide  along  the  shore  of  the  Island  from  74th  St. 
and  the  East  River  around  to  129th  St.  and  the  Hudson.  The  authors  state 
that  to  reclaim  this  land  it  is  necessary  to  prove  : — that  the  town  of  New  Har- 
lem existed  and  still  exists  ;  that  the  heirs  of  the  original  patentees  and  their 
associates  constitute  the  members  of  the  corporation  to-day  ;  that  the  Statute  of 
Limitations  has  no  bearing  on  the  case;  and  three  other  points  in  extensis. 
The  book  is  practically  divided  in  two  equal  parts.  The  first  gives  a  clear, 
concise  and  extremely  interesting  account  of  the  settlement,  early  growth  of 
the  town  and  manners  and  customs  of  the  inhabitants  ;  the  second  discusses 
minutely  the  legal  phases  of  the  case  and  the  points  necessary  to  be  proved. 
Of  the  first  we  promptly  commend  its  style  and  interest  ;  of  the  second  we  are 
not  competent  to  judge,  but  will  leave  it  to  the  individual  reader  and  the 
Courts.

161-240. 

Numbers  2  and  3  of  this  genealogy  are  handsome  and  interesting  pamphlets, 
well  illustrated  with  views  and  maps,  as  well  as  facsimile  signatures,  and  are 
carefully  referenced.  The  compiler  hopes  to  issue  the  next  number  m  1004,  if

The  diary  which  is  here  presented  is  in  the  original  contained  in  two  small 
octavo  volumes,  bound  in  calf,  bought  in  Paris  and  entitled  "  Ephemeris."  It 
is  a  dignified,  leisurely  record  of  a  young  man's  impressions  of  society,  politics, 
and  other  affairs,  written  with  a  maturity  and  sobriety  of  style  remarkable  in  a 
man  of  his  age.  There  are  copious  footnotes  explanatory  of  the  names  men- 
tioned in  the  text,  which  are  very  valuable  from  a  genealogist's  standpoint,  as 
well  as  of  interest  to  the  general  reader.  The  book  has  a  fine  frontispiece  por- 
trait of  Mr.  Adams  as  he  appeared  in  1796,  with  a  facsimile  signature.  There 
is  a  good  index. 

The  Lundy  Family  and  Their  Descendants,  of  Whatsoever  Sur- 
name. With  a  Biographical  Sketch  of  Benjamim  Lundy.  By  William 
Clinton  Armstrong.  New  Brunswick,  N.  J.  J.  Heidingsfeld.  1902.  8vo, 
cloth,  pp.  485. 

This  work  and  the  Lundy  family  too  begin  with  three  of  the  name,  of  three 
successive  generations,  Sylvester  Lundy  of  Axminster,  Eng.,  the  father,  Rich- 
ard Lundy,  Quaker  and  emigrant  to  Bucks  Co.,  Penna.,  in  1676,  the  son,  and 
Richard  Lundy,  of  Warren  Co.,  N.  J.,  the  grandson.  From  the  last,  who  was 
also  an  elder  in  the  Religious  Society  of  Friends,  sprang  a  numerous  progeny 
which  this  book  traces.  The  principal  associated  familiesare  : — Adams,  Arm- 
strong, Bunting,  Dennis,  Eyestone,  Gibbs,  Kester,  Laing,  Large,  Lenher, 
Lewis,  Parker,  Patterson,  Schumck,  Schooley,  Silverthorn,  Shotwell,  Stockton, 
Willetts,  Willson,  Widdifield  and  Webster.  The  memoir  of  Benjamin  Lundy, 
Philanthropist  and  Founder  of  American  Abolition,  is  an  able  and  interesting 
paper  read  before  the  Rutgers  College  Historical  Club  in  1897  by  Wm.  Clinton 
Armstrong,  the  author  of  this  work  and  also  of  "  A  Genealogical  Record  of  the 
Descendants  of  Nathan  Armstrong,"  published  in  1895.

burgh,  N.  Y.  Newburgh  Journal  Printing  House  and  Bookbindery.  I903. 
Sq.  octavo,  pp.  171. 

This  is  the  first  Lent  family  history  ever  printed,  and  concerns  the  de- 
scendants of  Abraham  de  Ryck  whose  sons,  for  some  reason  not  clearly 
ascertained,  assumed  the  name  of  Lent,  or  van  Lent.  The  family  is  emphatic- 
ally a  New  York  State  one,  hence  the  book  is  of  especial  value  to  those  seeking 
Westchester  County,  Orange  County,  and  Long  Island  records.  There  is  an 
excellent  index.

Sq.  octavo,  pp.  47. 

When  he  began  this  genealogy,  the  compiler  intended  only  to  trace  the 
descendants  of  William  Bowne  of  the  Revolutionary  War,  but  many  other  facts 
ol  interest  concerning  the  family  having  come  into  his  possession,  he  has  in- 
cluded them  in  this  interesting  little  volume.  The  authorities  for  his  state- 
ments are  given  in  footnotes,  and  there  is  a  good  double  index,  one  part  for 
names  of  individuals  and  the  other  for  names  of  places.

These  are  the  third  and  fourth  numbers  of  this  magazine,  which  contains 
matter  interesting  to  the  White  family,  who  are  fortunate  in  having  a  family 
genealogist  so  untiring  in  their  mutual  interests. 

Thomas  HORD,  GENTLEMAN,  BORN  IN  ENGLAND,  1701,  DlED  IN  VIR-

Rev.  Arnold  Harris  Hord,  Rector  of  St.  Michael's  Church,  Germantown,  Phila. 
I903.    Imperial  octavo, canvas  cloth,  pp.  30. 

This  beautiful  little  book,  with  its  quaint  typography,  or  rather  composi- 
tion, is  full  of  romantic  interest  even  to  those  in  nowise  connected,  either  hy 
blood  or  marriage,  to  the  family  of  Hord.  It  gives  incidents  in  the  life  of,  and 
copies  of  legal  transactions  entered  into  by  Thomas  Hord,  who  came  from 
England  to  America  between  the  years  1701  and  1720,  and  was  descended  of 
an  ancient  race  of  gentry  in  England,  which  had  for  centuries  held  a  dis- 
tinguished rank,  but  is  believed  now  to  be  entirely  extinct  in  the  mother 
country. 

The  Nicholas  White  Family.  1643 — 1000.  Compiled  by  Thomas  J. 
Lothrop.     Taunton,  Mass.     I902.    8vo,  cloth,  pp.  493. 

In  1898  the  descendants  of  Nicholas  White  gathered  at  Taunton,  for 
a  family  reunion,  and  amongst  the  officers  elected  was  Mr. Thomas  J.  Lothrop, 
who  was  selected  as  best  qualified  to  serve  as  the  family  historian.  At  this, 
the  first  of  several  annual  meetings,  it  was  unanimously  voted  to  publish  a 
genealogy  of  the  family,  and  the  historian  soon  found  the  mantle  of  such  re- 
sponsibility placed  upon  his  shoulders,  where  it  has  rested  gracefully  indeed. 
Nicholas  White,  pioneer,  was  of  Dorchester,  Mass.,  of  whom  the  author  has  no 
information  regarding  birth  and  ancestry,  but  has  no  doubt  he  was  of  the 
English  Yeomanry.  He  married  at  Dorchester,  where  he  was  a  freeman  in 
1643,  Susanna,  daughter  of  Jonas  and  Frances  Humphrey.  Of  their  descend- 
ants this  book  gives  seven  generations  notated  genealogically  according  to  the 
"  Record  and  Register  Plan,"  and  fully  indexed.  The  work  is  one  that  pleases 
ourfancy  greatly,  for  it  is  admirably  printed,  carefully  compiled  and  excel- 
lently arranged,  and  is  specially  commendable  for  the  lack  of  portraits  of 
"  bewhiskered  "  individuals  who  appear  as  ancestors  in  many  of  our  family 
histories  but  certainly  had  earlier  periods  in  their  lives  when  their  features 
must  have  been  better  to  look  upon.

Stoutenburgh.  New  York.  The  Knickerbocker  Press.  1903.  8vo,  pamphlets, 
pp.  125-209,  209-291. 

These  valuable  numbers  carry  the  names  of  the  Dutch  congregation  and 
others  added  by  the  compiler  during  his  Dutch  researches,  from  Abbott  to 
Ludlum.  The  names  are  alphabetically  arranged,  and  much  quaint  and  cur-

Thirtieth  Report  of  the  Record  Commissioners.  A  Volume  of 
Records  relating  to  the  early  History  of  Boston,  containing  Boston  marriages 
from  1752  to  1809. 

Massachusetts  is  still  in  the  lead  in  the  matter  of  preserving  in  print  her 
early  records  ;  but  we  are  hoping  the  "  Empire  State"  will  soon  vie  with  her 
for  the  honor.  This,  the  30th  volume  of  its  kind  contains  : — Intentions  of 
marriage,  1752-1761  ;  marriages,  1762-1773  ;  marriages,  1751-1809  ;  out  of  town 
marriages  and  index. 

The  Messages  and  Proclamations  of  the  Governors  of  Iowa. 
Compiled  and  edited  by  Benjamin  F.  Shambaugh,  Professor  of  Political 
Science  in  the  University  of  Iowa.  Volume  IV.  Published  by  the  State  His- 
torical Society  of  Iowa.     Iowa  City,  Iowa.     1903.    8vo,  cloth,  pp.  ix+382. 

The  present  volume  of  these  "  Messages "  includes  those  of  Governors 
Cyrus  Clay  Carpenter  (1872-1876),  Samuel  Jordan  Kirkwood  (third  term, 
1876-77),  and  Joshua  Giddings  Newbold  (1877-1878).  The  messages  and  pro- 
clamations of  Gov.  Kirkwood  during  his  first  and  second  terms  were  published 
in  Vol.  II  of  this  series.  Preceding  the  official  documents  of  each  Governor  is 
a  biographical  sketch  of  his  life. 

Babcock  Genealogy.  Compiled  by  Stephen  Babcock,  M.A.  New 
York.  Eaton  &  Mains.  1903.  8vo,  cloth,  pp.  640.  Bound  under  same  cover, 
Isaiah  Babcock,  Sr.,  and  His  Descendants.  A.  Emerson  Babcock  of  Roches- 
ter, N.  Y.     pp.  119.    Separate  index. 

This  is  a  model  genealogy.  Well  bound,  well  printed,  with  a  clear  and 
simple  arrangement  of  vital  records,  and  with  nearly  one  hundred  illustrations,  it 
is  a  book  one  likes  to  handle.  There  are  other  points  of  excellence.  With 
few  ezceptions  the  places  of  birth,  marriage  and  death  are  given  with  each 
name,  and  where  reference  is  made  to  printed  records,  the  authority  is  given. 
Comparatively  few  of  the  records  were  ever  before  printed.  The  index  is  very 
fine,  covers  88  pages  and  contains  18,365  names,  in  which  the  women  of  the 
family  are  indicated  under  both  maiden  and  married  names.  The  coat  of- 
arms  and  family  origin  were  prepared  by  Rev.  Charles  H.  Babcock,  D.  D.,  for 
years  Rector  of  Grace  Church,  Providence,  R.  I.  Fifty  years  ago  the  compiler, 
Mr.  Stephen  Babcock,  entered  the  N.  Y.  School  for  the  Blind,  as  a  pupil,  and 
has  been  principal  teacher  there  since  1857. 

The  second  part  of  the  book  is  also  well  arranged  and  has  the  advantage 
of  a  separate  index.  It  contains  the  history  of  one  branch  of  the  family,  com- 
piled by  Mr.  A.  Emerson  Babcock. 

The  Greenes  of  Rhode  Island,  with  Historical  Records  of 
English  Ancestry,  1534-1903.  Compiled  from  the  Mss.  of  the  late  Maior- 
General  George  Sears  Greene,  U.  S.  v.,  by  Louisa  Brownell  Clarke.  New 
York,  1903.  The  Knickerbocker  Press.  Royal  octavo,  buckram,  pp.  xxviii-f  892. 

To  open  such  a  book  as  this  is  to  be  appalled  at  the  volume  of  work  it  re- 
presents— the  years  required  to  gather  the  data,  the  hours,  days  and  months  of 
tabor  necessary  to  put  that  data  into  shape  for  publication.  In  size  and  method 
of  handling,  the  "  Greenes  of  Rhode  Island  "  resembles  the  Lockwood  Geneal- 
ogy, but  being  of  later  compilation  is  superior  to  it.  General  Greene  occupied 
much  of  the  latter  half  of  his  long  and  busy  life  in  researches  among  the  records 
of  his  ancestors  and  at  the  time  of  his  death  in  1899,  being  then  in  his  ninety- 
eighth  year,  left  behind  a  mass  of  records  and  data  which  he  had  gathered  and 


1 904.]  Book  Notices.  75 

had  intended  to  publish  during  his  lifetime.  So  much  of  his  time  was  occupied 
in  answering  inquiries  regarding  these  ancestors  that  the  work  was  never  com- 
pleted, and  he  died,  leaving  a  request  that  his  children  would  take  it  up  and 
push  the  work  to  completion.  Upon  his  two  sons,  Gearge  Scars  Greene,  Jr., 
and  General  Francis  Vinton  Greene,  devolved  the  duty  and  they  placed  the 
original  data  in  the  hands  of  Mrs.  Clarke,  who,  after  three  years  of  constant 
and  painstaking  labor,  has  produced  the  finished  volume,  a  monument  to  the 
memory  of  a  busy  and  honored  father,  a  symbol  of  sacred  duty  on  the  part  ot 
Hi  .1 1  utial  sons. 

The  work  opens  with  a  complete  memoir  of  the  life  and  services  of  Gen- 
eral George  S.  Greeneby  his  son,  Francis  Vinton  Greene,  embellished  with 
various  portraits  ;  then  follows  the  genealogy  of  the  family,  arranged  as  only  a 
competent  genealogist  knows  how  m  do.  The  Greenes  oi  Rhode  Island  go 
back  to  three  distinct  progenitors,  all  of  whom  bore  the  Christian  name  of 
John.  The  present  volume  embraces  only  the  the  descendants  of  John 
Greene,  a  surgeon,  who  emigrated  from  Salisbury,  England,  and  settled  in 
Warwick,  Rhode  Island,  as  early  as  1637  and  was  the  father  of  Major  John 
Greene,  Deputy  Governor  of  the  Colony  oi  Rhode  Island.  His  descendants 
are  traced  to  the  tenth  generation,  the  personal  numbers  running  as  high  as 
4876.  Female  lines  are  extended  lor  two  generations  and  authorities  treely 
cited.  Beside  the  body  of  the  work  there  are  interesting  chapters  on  the  fol- 
lowing: The  House  of  Greene  by  Robert  llalstead,  London,  1685;  the 
Greenes  of  Northamptonshire  ;  Uraton,  Northamptonshire  ;  Houghton,  North- 
amptonshire ;  Greene's  Norton,  Northamptonshire;  Pedigree  of  Greene's 
Norton  ;  Gillingham,  Dorsetshire  ;  Bowridge  Hill  in  the  Parish  of  Gilhngham  ; 
The  Greene's  of  Dorsetshire  ;  Settlement  of  Warwick.  K.  I.,  and  the  Greene's 
of  Warwick,  R.  I.  The  volume  closes  with  a  chapter  on  the  Family  Arms, 
another  giving  the  latest  researches  in  England,  and  appendices  of  Wills  and 
Deeds  ami  notes  and  correspondence.  The  whole  work  is  admirably  printed, 
carefully  compiled  and  fully  indexed  ;  and  we  fully  agree  with  Mrs.  Clarke, 
who  says  in  her  preface  that  "  the  labor  of  compilation  from  another's  notes 
requires  unusual  patience,  exactness  and  perseverance,  and  becomes  the  more 
difficult  when  consultation  is  no  longer  possible."  We,  who  understand  these 
things  and  fully  appreciate  the  magnitude  of  such  a  work,  desire  here  to  pay  a 
tribute  to  the  memory  of  our  honored  member  and  one-time  President,  to  the 
sentiment  of  duty  which  actuated  his  distinguished  sons  in  producing  this  vol- 
ume, and  finally  to  the  services  and  capable  labor  of  the  compiler,  who  has 
added  the  finishing  touches  to  a  truly  noble  genealogical  work. 

The  History  of  the  Parshall  Family  from  the  Conquest  of 
England  by  William  of  Normandy,  A.  D.,  1066,  to  the  close  of  the 
iqth  Century.  Ry  James  Clark  Parshall,  Esq.  Syracuse.  Press  of  Crist, 
Scott  &  Parshall,  Coopcrstown.     I903.     Quarto,  half  leather,  pp.  280-T-xxi. 

This  handsome  volume  deals  with  the  English  origin  and  the  American 
descent  of  the  Parshall  family  of  Southold,  Suffolk  Co.,  N.  Y.,  whose  first 
American  ancestor  was  James  Parshall  who  married  Elizabeth,  only  daughter 
of  David  and  Mary  (Lerringman)  Gardiner  of  East  Hampton.  The  work  is 
arranged  in  families,  each  having  a  number  in  Roman  numerals.  To  facilitate 
search,  each  progenitor  has  the  number  of  the  family  which  he  founded  placed 
after  his  name  in  his  birth  record.  The  book  has  good  references  in  footnotes, 
quoting  not  only  printed  and  other  recorded  authorities,  but  giving  personal 
statements  of  individuals,  a  very  worthy  feature.  This  compilation  was  a  labor 
of  love,  and  shows  it.    There  is  a  good  index. 

Pioneer  Period  and  Pioneer  People  of  Fairfield  County,  Ohio- 
By  C.  M.  L.  Wiseman.  Small  8vo,  cloth,  429  pp.  1001.  J.  B.  Heer  Printing 
Co.,  Columbus,  O. 

In  this  modest  volume  the  writer  has  sketched  the  pioneer  period  of  Fair- 
field Co.,  Ohio,  and  given  the  record  of  the  pioneer  families.  A  romance,  a 
history  and  genealogy  all  in  one.  The  author  has  the  rare  gift  of  making 
genealogical  records  interesting  and  the  careful  preparation  and  arrangement 
of  his  work  leaves  no  room  to  doubt  its  accuracy.

A  Genealogy  of  the  Curtiss  Family,  being  a  Record  of  the  De- 
scendants of  Widow  Elizabeth  Curtiss,  who  settled  in  Stratford,  Conn.,  1639- 
40.  By  Frederic  Haines  Curtiss.  Boston.  Rockwell  &  Churchill  Press.  1903. 
Quarto,  buckram,  pp.  252. 

This  name  has  long  been  regarded  by  those  who  bear  it,  as  distinct  from 
Curtis,  and  not  a  mere  variation  of  spelling.  In  presenting  the  genealogy,  the 
compiler  has  carefully  considered  the  family  claim  to  a  coat-of-arms,  borne  by 
an  American  descendant,  and  seems  to  find  good  reason  for  its  existence. 
There  are  two  quaint  maps  of  English  counties,  and  other  interesting  features. 
The  book  is  very  attractive  and  has  33  pages  of  index  which  is  always  a  valu- 
able point.

ANDREW    HASWELL   GREEN. 


By  Richard  Henry  Greene,  A.M.,  LL.  B. 


Few  men  of  themselves  alone,  without  the  accessories  of  posi- 
tion and  favoring  environment,  have  made  a  name  as  did  Andrew 
Haswell  Green.  History  records  the  achievements  of  men  born 
to  the  purple,  or  floated  to  the  top  in  the  storms  of  armed  con- 
flict, but  few  have  soared  into  prominence  amid  the  quiet  of 
business  and  in  the  prosaic  times  of  peace.  The  pomp  and 
pageantry  of  glorious  war  has  ever  bedizened  the  career  of  men 
of  martial  success  such  as  Alexander,  Caesar,  Charlemagne,  Peter 
the  Great,  Frederick  and  Napoleon,  almost  excluding  from  the 
first  rank  of  greatness  those  who  have  striven  in  other  activities. 
But  slowly  and  surely  the  brutal  standards  of  antiquity  and  of 
mediaeval  times  are  giving  way  before  the  progress  of  Christian 
altruism,  making  room  for  the  men  of  peace  to  take  their  place 
among  the  foremost. 

We  have  labored  to  discover  a  just  parallel  between  the  sub- 
ject of  this  paper  and  any  among  the  great  citizens  of  the  past. 
We  cannot  draw  a  parallel  between  him  and  Themistocles,  for 
while  the  latter  could  truthfully  boast:  "I  know  how  to  raise  a 
small  and  inconsiderable  city  to  glory  and  greatness,"  yet  he  was 
driven  from  Athens  as  a  selfish  trickster.  Neither  can  we  com- 
pare him  to  Aristides,  with  whom,  according  to  Plutarch,  "  Virtue 
was  the  only  object  he  had  in  view  in  the  whole  course  of  his 
administration,"  and  who,  although  he  had  been  the  commanding 
general  and  chief  magistrate  of  the  Athenians,  did  not  leave 
enough  to  meet  the  expense  of  his  funeral.  For,  while  he  was 
inflexibly  just  and  incapable  of  falsehood,  flattery  and  self-ambi- 
tion, his  reputation  was  largely  due  to  his  military  achievements. 
He  was  too  good  for  his  age.  Nor  can  we  compare  him  with 
Pelopidas,  eulogized  by  Euripides  as  "he  who  dies  in  virtue's 
arms,"  and  who  brought  his  native  city  to  the  height  of  greatness; 
for  he  was  born  to  wealth,  was  the  friend  of  Epaminodas,  and  was 
great  in  war  as  well  as  peace.  All  of  these  might  have  been 
unknown  to  fame  had  it  not   been  for  their  wars  and  victories. 

Coming  down  to  the  modern  era  (the  14th  century),  Cosimo  de

/8  Andrew  Haswcll  Green.  [April, 

Medici,  the  Florentine  merchant  who  adorned  his  native  city; 
and  his  grandson  Lorenzo,  who  raised  Florence  to  opulence  and 
prominence  in  Italy,  give  us  examples  more  in  the  sphere  of  the 
person  we  are  considering;  but  their  public  benefactions  and 
services  came  after  mercantile  successes  had  made  them  rich  and 
had  supplied  them  with  the  means  for  their  undertakings. 

Andrew  Haswell  Green  was  born  October  6,  1820,  at  Worces- 
ter, Mass.,  and  was  educated  at  the  Academy  in  that  place.  In 
this  quiet  New  England  village,  a  community  of  thrift,  integrity 
and  literary  culture,  but  without  wealth,  power  or  prominence, 
he  began  life,  at  a  time  when  this  country  was  entering  upon  a 
new  period.  The  second  war  with  England  had  been  favorably 
terminated  and  an  era  of  good  feeling  inaugurated  with  the  elec- 
tion of  Monroe  that  year  to  the  presidency  without  opposition. 
The  war  had  ended  the  Federal  party  which  opposed  it  and  had 
introduced  a  protective  tariff  (as  a  Southern  measure),  which 
proved  a  boon  to  the  country.  The  strife  of  war  and  politics  had 
given  away  to  business  enterprise  and  commercial  prosperity. 
Yet  the  few  states  which  composed  the  union  were  poor  and  weak, 
and  the  centre  of  population  of  the  United  States  was  only  a 
little  more  than  one  hundred  miles  west  of  Annapolis  ;  while  the 
great  struggle  of  our  history  began  that  very  year,  with  the  ad- 
mission of  Missouri  on  the  compromise  that  thereafter  no  slave 
state  should  be  admitted  north  of  36°  301.  Enough  has  been 
said  to  show  that  the  time  in  which  Mr.  Green  came  upon  the 
stage,  while  not  a  period  of  excitement  when  the  passions  of 
men  are  awakened  and  they  are  forced  into  the  whirl  of  affairs, 
was  yet  as  the  lull  before  the  storm  !  The  nation  was  being  pre- 
pared for  the  convulsion  which  was  to  come. 

Men  are  made  not  only  by  their  age  and  environment,  but  by 
heredity,  education  and  descent.  All  may  not  accept  this,  yet 
most  men  do  not  expect  to  gather  grapes  of  thorns  or  figs  of 
thistles.  They  believe  in  the  general  rule,  "  like  father,  like 
son,"  and  fear  lest  the  sins  of  the  fathers  be  visited  upon  the 
children.  The  founders  of  New  England,  both  Pilgrim  and  Puri- 
tan, came  from  the  old  home  seeking  liberty  to  worship  God. 
From  both  of  these  Mr.  Green  traced  his  descent;  the  Tilleysand 
John  Howland  came  on  the  Mayflower  in  1620,  while  his  paternal 
line  was  from  Thomas  Green,  who  was  born  in  Leicester,  Eng- 
land, about  1606,  and  landed  in  Massachusetts  Bay  some  fifteen 
years  after  the  settlement  at  Plymouth. 

The  name  Green  (at  first  Greene  in  nearly  every  case),  was 
common  in  New  England  in  the  early  half  of  the  seventeenth 
century.  These  families  were  not  related  so  far  as  known,  but 
this  is  not  impossible.  There  were  three  distinct  families  in 
Maiden,  where  Thomas,  the  ancestor  of  Mr.  Green,  settled ; 
another  Thomas  died  there  in  1674,  and  James  who  was  made  free- 
man in- 1647,  all  of  whom  left  descendants.  There  were  other 
English  settlers  of  the  name,  to  wit  :  John  of  Charlcstown;  Per- 
cival  of  Cambridge;  William  of  Plymouth;  Thomas  of  Roxbury; 
John  of  Salem,  and  William  of  Woburn,  in  Massachusetts.  Just 
over  the  line  in  the  neighboring  state  of  Rhode  Island  were  John 


iqo4.]  Andrew  Haswell  Green.  jg 

of  Kingston;  John  of  Newport,  and  surgeon  John  of  Warwick. 
Twelve  emigrant  ancestors  of  as  many  families  of  this  name,  in 
the  17th  century  in  New  England. 

Thomas,  the  first  ancestor  of  the  family  under  consideration, 
settled  in  that  part  of  Maiden,  now  Melrose,  and  by  his  wife 
Elizabeth  had  ten  children. 

Thomas,  Jr.,  eldest  son  and  second  child,  married  Rebecca 
Hills,  and  had  two  sons  and  three  daughters. 

Samuel,  the  youngest,  styled  "  Captain,"  married  Elizabeth 
Upham  by  whom  he  had  eight  children.  They  removed  to 
Leicester.  That  part  of  Maiden  where  he  lived  was  thereafter 
called  Greenville  in  his  honor. 

Rev.  Thomas,  both  physician  and  minister  of  the  Baptist 
church,  married  Martha  Lynde  and  had  seven  children. 

Dr.  John  studied  medicine  with  his  father  and  practised  in 
Worcester.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Committee  of  Safety  and 
a  representative  in  the  Provincial  Assembly,  by  virtue  of  which 
services  his  grandson,  Mr.  Green,  was  admitted  into  the  Sons  of 
the  American  Revolution.  He  had  three  children  by  the  first 
and  ten  by  the  second  wife,  who  was  Mary,  daughter  of  Brig. 
Gen.  Timothy  Ruggles,  of  Sandwich,  Mass. 

William  Elijah,  the  sixth  generation  from  the  emigrant,  was 
born  at  Worcester  in  the  present  residence  of  the  family  called 
"Green  Hill,"  which  had  been  purchased  by  his  father.  He 
graduated  at  Brown  University,  studied  law  and  practiced  at 
Worcester.  He  was  married  four  times  and  had  eleven  children, 
nine  by  the  third  wife  and  one  by  each  of  the  two  earlier  mar- 
riages. The  subject  of  this  paper  was  the  seventh  child  and 
second  son.  His  mother  was  Jane  Plympton,  daughter  of  Oliver 
Plympton,  who  was  only  seventeen  when  the  struggle  with  the 
mother  country  began;  but  as  a  private  in  the  militia  he  answered 
his  country's  call. 

Mary  Ruggles,  mentioned  above  as  the  wife  of  Dr.  John 
Green,  was  the  daughter  of  Timothy  Ruggles,  born  October  20, 
171 1,  and  graduated   at   Harvard   in    1732;  was    Judge   and   t'hii 

iudge  of  Common  Pleas,  Colonel  and  Brigadier-General  in  the 
'rench  and  Indian  War,  and  Representative  in  the  General 
Court  of  Massachusetts  for  twenty-four  years,  and  was  twice 
the  Speaker.  He  was  also  a  delegate  to  the  Stamp  Act 
Congress  and  was  made  its  president,  but  refused  to  concur  in 
its  measures,  and  when  the  King's  troops  left  Boston  he  accom- 
panied them,  going  to  Nova  Scotia  where  he  died  in  1795.  Here 
is  the  record  of  the  busy  life  of  a  prominent  man.  We  may  not 
judge  him  for  his  loyalty  to  the  Crown  since  he  had  been  trained 
to  it  for  a  period  of  more  than  sixty  years.  His  father,  likewise 
named  Timothy,  was  a  Harvard  man  of  1707  and  a  minister  of 
the  gospel.  His  grandfather.  Captain  Samuel  Ruggles,  Jr., 
(1658-1716)  married  Martha,  daughter  of  Rev.  John  Woodbridge 
and  grand-daughter  of  Gov.  Thomas  Dudley,  of  Massachusetts. 
His  great-grandfather,  Samuel  Ruggles,  who  was  also  a  captain 
in  the  militia  and  a  representative  in  the  General  Court,  was  the 
son  of  Thomas  Ruggles,  the  emigrant  from  Nazing,   England,  in 


80  Andrew  Haswell  Green.  [April, 

1637  to  Roxbury,  Mass.,  where  the  church  record  says,  speaking 
of  him  and  his  brother  :  "  They  were  children  of  a  godly  father." 
No  one  need  blush  for  any  name  in  this  noble  line  of  seven  gen- 
erations reaching  back  to  the  mother  country. 

Notwithstanding  the  dignity  of  the  foregoing  Puritan  lines, 
Mr.  Green  was  more  proud  of  his  descent  from  the  Mayflower 
Pilgrims; — John  Tilley  and  his  wife,  both  of  whom  died  the  first 
winter,  leaving  Elizabeth,  the  daughter  who  accompanied  them, 
and  later  married  John  Howland,  confidential  man  of  Carver  the 
first  Governor,  who  became  one  of  the  leaders  of  the  Colony 
both  in  goverment  and  business  enterprise.  Hope  Howland, 
their  daughter,  married  John  Chipman,  long  ruling  elder  at 
Barnstable  and  representative  for  many  years.  Desire  Chipman, 
their  daughter,  married  Melatiah  Bourne  of  Sandwich,  son  of 
Shearjashub  and  grandson  of  Richard  Bourne,  who  was  ordained 
by  Eliot  to  instruct  the  Indians  at  Mashpee.  Bathsheba,  their 
daughter,  married  Gen.  Timothy  Ruggles,  before  mentioned. 

Thus  at  the  risk  of  trying  the  patience  of  those  who  are  satis- 
fied with  the  present  we  have  traced  the  blood  which  warmed 
the  life  of  our  friend  through  several  lines,  and  have  found  in 
each  men  of  courage,  heart  and  intellect.  What  they  were  in 
their  day  he  became  in  his.  Doing  the  duty  nearest  at  hand  is 
the  key  to  a  useful  life,  but  working  out  plans  for  man's  better- 
ment is  the  road  to  fame.  Andrew  H.  Green  was  a  leader,  plan- 
ning, constructing,  improving;  not  satisfied  to  go  in  old  ruts,  but 
essaying  greater  and  nobler  results  and  better  activities.  Such 
an  one  may  be  brushed  aside  by  many  in  their  mad  rush  for  gain, 
but  those  who  knew  him  trusted  and  followed  him.  Mr.  Green 
was  such  a  man  as  Benjamin  Franklin  praised  "who  did  some- 
thing worth  writing  about,  and  wrote  that  which  was  worth  read- 
ing." Boswell,  the  greatest  of  biographers,  hints  somewhere 
that  the  true  biography  tells  the  talk,  the  written  words  and  little 
things  of  the  daily  life.  Mr.  Green's  words  were  plain,  earnest, 
instructive.  Here  is  an  extract  from  his  address,  October  6, 
1898,  when  he  was  presented  with  the  medal  struck  in  his  honor 
as  the  father  of  Greater  New  York  : — 

"  Our  national  history  shows  that  unification  is  an  American 
principle,  and  that  movements  in  this  direction  never  go  back- 
ward. As  years  have  gone  by  the  gradual  adjustment  of  the 
constitutional  relation  of  the  States  has  served  only  to  strengthen 
the  permanency  of  their  union,  and  the  same  may  be  confidently 
predicted  of  our  united  city.  With  the  lapse  of  time,  as  the 
relations  of  these  constituent  communities  come  to  be  better 
understood,  and  in  the  light  of  experience  the  laws  governing  it 
become  properly  modified  and  adjusted,  our  municipal  coherence 
will  grow  in  strength  and  in  the  assurance  of  advantage  to  the 
interests  of  all.  In  the  realization  of  these  beneficent  results, 
which  must  inevitably  ensue  from  a  wise  and  honest  adminis- 
tration of  the  people's  affairs,  will  appear  the  amplest  justifica- 
tion of  the  step  which  we  have  lately  taken." 

These  earnest,  forceful  and  truthful  words  fitly  introduce 
what  we  wish  to  say  concerning  the  part  which    Mr.   Green  took 


IQ04-]  Andrew  Haswell  Green.  &  1 

in  the  accomplishment  of  the  unification  of  the  cities  and  settle- 
ments surrounding  the  port  of  New  York.  We  remember  as  a 
boy,  that  when  Brooklyn  and  Williamsburg  were  united  into  one 
municipality,  there  was  talk  that  these  and  New  York  would 
some  day  consolidate.  But  this  was  not  taken  seriously  by  any 
large  percentage  of  people  on  either  side  of  the  East  River. 
Cyrus  P.  Smith,  who  had  been  mayor  of  Brooklyn  many  years 
before,  and  was  then  in  the  State  Senate,  proposed  it  in  that 
body,  but  it  was  defeated,  as  a  similar  proposition  had  been 
in  1S51.  The  Metropolitan  police  bill  in  1S59  established  a  dis- 
trict including  both  cities  and  Richmond  County,  and  this  was 
followed  by  similar  acts  for  other  departments,  but  they  lasted 
only  for  a  dozen  years.  It  took  a  courageous  man  to  lay  the 
matter  before  the  Park  commissioners  in  1S68  as  Mr.  Green  did. 
In  that  communication  he  showed  that  he  knew  what  he  was 
planning  and  meant  to  accomplish  it,  as  he  did  many  years  after, 
and  so  won  for  himself  the  splendid  title,  accorded  to  him  by  all, 
"  The  Father  of  Greater  New  York." 

The  writer,  out  of  his  own  experience  as  an  executive  mem- 
ber of  another  party,  can  testify  to  the  non-partisan  spirit  with 
which  Mr.  Green  performed  his  duties  in  connection  with  the 
parks  and  public  improvements.  Not  only  unpartisan  in  politics 
he  was  liberal  to  all  creeds  and  every  nationality.  Witness  his 
words  when  the  tablet  was  placed  on  the  old  Hebrew  cemetery  : 
"The  debt  which  this  government  has  never  paid  in  dollars,  let 
us  freely  acknowledge  in  words  of  gratitude,  and  yield  our  tribute 
of  appreciation  to  those  loyal  and  generous  men  of  the  Hebrew 
faith  who  helped  our  forefathers  win  the  liberties  which  the 
people  of  every  faith  and  from  every  clime  now  enjoy  under  the 
Hag  of  our  country.  *  *  *  I  venture  to  express  the  hope  that 
this  tablet,  which  our  two  societies  are  about  to  erect  to  mark 
the  place  where  people  of  the  Hebrew  faith  were  first  laid  to 
rest  on  American  soil,  will  serve  as  a  token  of  the  hospitality, 
freedom  and  toleration  with  which  the  United  States  should 
entertain  people  of  all  nations  and  beliefs — a  reminder  of  our 
duty  as  Americans  to  our  fellow  citizens,  and  a  bond  to  draw  us 
all  together  more  closely  in  the  kindly  relation  of  friendly 
mutual  regard." 

Is  it  wonderful  that  this  man,  having  gone  into  the  office  of 
that  great  leader  of  men,  Samuel  J.  Tilden,  so  gained  the  confi- 
dence of  the  latter  that  he  was  chosen  trustee  of  that  man's  pos- 
sessions when  he  came  to  die?  Nor  was  this  the  only  instance  of 
such  selection.  William  B.  Ogden,  the  railroad  king  of  Chicago, 
did  the  same.  These  marks  of  confidence  by  such  men  show 
how  strong  was  the  faith  men  placed  in  Mr.  Green's  integrity. 

We  might  recite,  as  others  are  doing,  the  catalogue  of  the 
offices  which  he  held,  as  Commissioner  and  President  of  the 
Board  of  Education;  Commissioner,  Treasurer,  President  and 
Comptroller  of  Parks;  Deputy  and  Controller  of  the  City,  when 
he  saved  its  credit  and  reorganized  its  finances  after  the  whole- 
sale plunder  of  the  Tweed  ring;  Commissioner  to  revise  the 
State  tax  laws;  Commissioner  for  the  New  York  and  New  Jersey

Bridge,  and  Member  of  the  Charter  Commission  for  Greater 
New  York.  He  was  not  in  office  for  pay  or  power.  Riverside 
Park  and  the  drive  testify  to  his  taste  and  creativeness;  so  also 
do  the  Museum  of  Art  and  the  Museum  of  Natural  History,  the 
Zoological  garden  and  Washington  bridge  which  adorn  this  city, 
and,  at  Niagara,  the  park  and  reservation  of  which  commission 
he  was  the  president. 

Like  DeWitt  Clinton,  who  united  the  great  lakes  with  the 
ocean  and  who  resembled  him  in  his  public  spirit,  Mr.  Green  was 
identified  with  all  the  literary  and  educational  enterprises  of  his 
time.  He  was  connected  as  member  or  officer  with  the  American 
Antiquarian  Society,  the  New  York  Historical  Society,  the  New 
York  Geographical  Society,  the  New  York  Genealogical  and  Bio- 
graphical Society,  the  New  York  Zoological  Society,  the  New 
York  Agricultural  Society,  the  American  Museum  of  Natural 
History,  the  Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art,  the  New  York  Public 
Library,  the  New  York  Academy  of  Science,  the  State  Bar  Asso- 
ciation, the  New  York  Juvenile  Asylum,  the  Society  for  the  Pre- 
vention of  Cruelty  to  Children,  the  American  Jewish  Historical 
Society,  and  many  others.  We  have  mentioned  in  another  place 
his  membership  in  the  Society  of  Mayflower  Descendents  in 
New  York  and  have  alluded  above  to  his  membership  in  the  Sons 
of  the  American  Revolution. 

On  Friday  the  19th  of  November,  1903,  before  his  own  door 
at  91  Park  Avenue  in  the  City  of  New  York,  without  warning, 
without  cause,  a  madman  robbed  his  family,  his  friends,  the  city, 
of  this  noble  citizen. 

As  evidence  of  his  active  participation  in  public  affairs  and 
the  unintermitting  calls  upon  his  time  and  strength  in  further- 
ing such  matters,  at  the  very  time  when  the  wires  were  vibrat- 
ing with  the  story  of  his  assassination,  upon  our  desk  lay  two 
invitations,  one  signed  by  him  as  President  of  the  American 
Scenic  and  Historic  Preservation  Society,  the  other  an  invitation 
to  the  unveiling  of  a  tablet  at  which  he  was  to  be  the  principal 
speaker. 

No  truer  or  better  words  have  been  uttered  in  tribute  to  his 
memory  than  those  of  New  York's  noble  mayor,  who  shared  with 
him  the  blood  of  the  Tilleys,  Howlands  and  Chipmans,  in 
his  message  to  the  Board  of  Aldermen  announcing  the  death  of 
Mr.  Green  : — "  It  may  truthfully  be  said  that  to  no  one  man  who 
has  labored  in  and  for  the  city  during  the  last  fifty  years  is  the 
city  under  greater  and  more  lasting  obligations  than  to  Andrew 
H.  Green.  The  city  itself,  in  some  of  its  most  beautiful  and 
most  enduring  features,  is  the  monument  of  his  love;  and  the 
city  may  well  cherish  his  honored  name  with  the  undying  grati- 
tude that  is  due  to  a  citizen  who  has  made  it  both  a  greater  and 
a  better  city  than  it  was." 

Andrew  H.  Green  was  a  man  of  the  highest  type,  and  his  hold 
upon  life  in  all  its  phases  was  certainly  remarkable.  At  the  time 
of  his  death,  although  an  octogenarian,  he  was  in  the  full  posses- 
sion of  his  faculties  and  his  natural  strength  was  unabated.  He 
was  a  forceful  speaker  and  writer,  an  able  counsellor,  an  incor-

ruptible  administrator,  a  singularly  public  spirited  citizen^ de- 
voted with  a  passionate  ardor  to  the  interests  of  the  city  of  his 

adoption,  and  a  man  of  rare  symmetry  of  character,  simple, 
humane,  reverent,  just  and  generous  to  all.  Although  stern  and 
uncompromising  in  the  pursuit  of  his  objects,  his  single-minded 
devotion  to  the  public  welfare  and  his  perfect  candor  made  even 
the  enemies  of  his  measures  forgive  his  attitude  toward  them. 
Beloved  and  honored  he  was  taken  suddenly  from  our  midst,  but 
his  work  remains  and  his  name  will  be  held  in  lasting  remem- 
brance :

A  BRANCH    OF    THE    VAN   BRUNT    FAMILY    IN   MON- 
MOUTH COUNTY,  NEW  JERSEY. 


By  George  C.   Beekman. 


(Continued  from  Vol.  XXXV.,  p.  37  o(  The  Record.) 

Eleanor  Schenck  widow  of  Major  Hcndrick  Van  Brunt  makes 
her  will  November  19,  1799.  It  is  recorded  in  Book  A.  of  Wills, 
page  658,  etc.,  Monmouth  County  Surrogate's  Office.  It  was 
proved  February  24,  18 14,  she  describes  herself  as  the  widow  of 
Hcndrick  Van  Brunt,  deceased.  The  witnesses  swear  that  she 
was  the  widow  of  Hendrick  Van  Brunt  and  afterwards  wife  of 
Sheriff  David  Forman.     She  had  no  children  by  cither  husband. 

She  leaves  her  property  equally  to  her  two  brothers,  John  and 
Garret  Schenck,  and  her  five  sisters  Anne  Berry,  Sarah  Wikoff, 
Mary  Polhemus,  Jane  Denise  and  Catharine  Denise. 

Her  brother  John  Schenck  of  Freehold  Township  and  her 
brother-in-law  Auke  Wikoff  of  Shrewsbury  Township  are  named 
as  executors.  She  was  the  second  wife  of  the  famous  Sheriff 
"  Black  "  David  Forman  of  Monmouth  County.  He  died  prior  to 
her.  His  will  is  dated  February  24,  1802,  was  proved  August  2, 
1S13,  and  recorded  in  Book  A.  of  Wills,  page  613,  etc.,  Monmouth 
County  Surrogated  Office.  He  provides  for  his  wife  Nelly,  leaves 
his  real  estate  equally  to  his  three  sons  Jonathan,  Tunis  and 
Samuel.     Gives $1,500  to  his  daughter  Anne  Lloyd. 

Nicholas,  the  third  son  of  Nicholas  Van  Brunt,  the  first  settler 
in  Monmouth  County,  married  January  15,  1767,  Catharine  a 
daughter  of  William  Cowenhoven  and  Annetje  Hendrickson,  a 
widow.  She  was  his  second  wife.  Catharine  their  daughter  was 
baptized  in  the  Dutch  Church  of  Monmouth  County,  April, 
16,   1749 

Nicholas  Van  Brunt  was  a  sturdy  and  active  patriot  during 
the  revolution. 

He  and  Daniel  Hendrickson  were  the  deputies  from  Shrews- 
bury Township  in  1775  to  the  Provincial  Congress  of  New  Jersey. 
He  was  also  a  captain  in  the  third  regiment  of  Monmouth  militia, 


84  A  Branch  of  the  Van  Brunt  Family  in  Monmouth  Co.,  N.J.     [April, 

and  the  High  Sheriff  of  Monmouth  County  in  1778.  He  removed 
all  the  prisoners  from  the  county  jail  at  Freehold  to  Morris 
County  the  day  before  the  British  army  occupied  this  place  on 
June  27,  1778.  He,  with  John  Smock,  Peter  Cowenhoven  and 
Hendrick  Voorhees  were  Commissioners  of  Loan  for  Monmouth 
County  under  the  act  of  1786  to  let  out  on  loan  by  the  State  of 
New  Jersey  one  hundred  thousand  pounds. 

By  Catharine  Cowenhoven  his  wife,  Sheriff  Nicholas  Van 
Brunt  had  the  following  children. 

William,  born  February  4,  1768  ;  for  some  reason  this  child 
was  not  baptized,  at  all  events  no  record  of  his  baptism  appears 
in  book  of  Marlboro  Dutch  Church. 

Their  other  children  were  all  baptized  in  this  church,  viz  : 

Cornelius,  baptized  July  23,  1769. 

Nicholas,  baptized  August  4,  1771. 

Antje,  baptized  May  8,  1774. 

Mary,  baptized  June  25,  1775. 

Hendrick,  baptized  April  5,  1778. 

Daniel  C,  baptized  April  30,  1780,  and  died  young. 

Sarah  Wycof,  baptized  Sept.  28,  1783. 

Daniel  C,  baptized  Nov.  18,  1787. 

William  Van  Brunt  the  eldest  son  married  November  23, 
1785;  Elizabeth,  a  daughter  of  Kenneth  Hankinson,  also  an 
active  and  prominent  patriot  during  the  Revolution.  He  was 
also  a  captain  in  the  Monmouth  militia  and  one  of  the  Commis- 
sioners appointed  to  confiscate  and  sell  the  real  estate  of  Loyal- 
ists who  joined  the  King's  army,  or  went  within  the  British  lines. 
See  minutes  of  Court  of  Common  Pleas  of  Monmouth  from  1778 
to  1790.  Also  records  of  executions  out  of  this  court  for  same 
period.  Kenneth  Hankinson  and  Eleanor,  his  wife,  by  deed 
dated  April  19,  1795,  conveyed  to  their  son-in-law  William  Van 
Brunt  a  farm  of  209  14-100  acres  in  Freehold  Township.  This 
seems  to  have  been  an  advancement,  for  in  his  will  dated  Oct.  9, 
1807,  and  recorded  in  Book  A.  of  Wills,  page  229,  etc.,  Surrogate's 
Office  of  Monmouth  County,  he  gives  to  his  daughter  Elizabeth 
Van  Brunt  only  a  silver  pint  cup,  and  does  not  mention  her  hus- 
band. This  shows  that  he  considered  the  land  deeded  as  this 
child's  full  share  of  his  estate. 

By  deed  dated  March  15,  1800,  and  recorded  in  Monmouth 
Clerk's  Office  William  Van  Brunt  and  Elizabeth  Van  Brunt,  his 
wife,  conveys  this  farm  to  Louis  Cowenhoven  for  nearly  six  thou- 
sand dollars.  He  must  have  removed  about  this  time  to  Steuben 
County,  New  York,  for  he  died  at  Lockport,  New  York. 

The  records  of  Marlboro  Dutch  Church  show  that  William 
Van  Brunt  and  Elizabeth  Hankinson,  his  wife,  had  the  following 
children  baptized. 

William  Conovcr,  baptized  Feb.  8,  1789. 

Nelly,  baptized  May  15,  1790. 

Catharine,  baptized  Jan.  13,  1798. 

Kenneth  Hankinson,  baptized  June  24,  1798. 

He  had,  however,  other  children  born  in  Monmouth  County 
not  baptized,  and,  of  course,  after  he   removed  from  New  Jersey

to  State  of  New  York  about  1800  there  would  be  no  other  record 
here. 

1.  William   Van  Brunt  and  Elizabeth  Hankinson  his  wife, 

had  according  to  family  history  fifteen  children.  Their 
eldest  child  is  said  to  have  been  a  daughter  named 
Eliza,  born  in  1786,  but  not  baptized.  She  is  said  to 
have  married  one  John  Freeman  a  school  teacher  of 
Monmouth  County,  and  had  two  boys,  Matthew  and 
John.  Their  father  died  when  these  children  were 
young,  but  the  mother  managed  to  give  her  boys  a 
good  education.  Matthew  Freeman  became  an  editor, 
John  studied  law  and  settled  at  Natchez,  Miss.,  where 
he  became  a  prominent  man,  was  attorney-genera]  of 
this  State,  and  held  other  important  offices.  The 
mother  Eliza  lived  with  John  at  Natchez,  where  she 
died  in  1865.

Reynolds,  and  died  about  1840  at  Perth  Amboy, 
New  Jersey.  He  was  a  blacksmith  by  trade.  He  had 
six  children,  of  whom  mention  is  made  hereafter. 

11.  Emeline,  born  Jan.  16,  1802;   died  young. 

12.  John  Hankinson,  born  Aug.  15,  1805;  died  Aug.  26,  1826.

Byron  Centre,  New  York. 

14.  Peter  Hankinson,  born  Feb.  27,  181 1;  married  first  Jane 

Gardiner,  second,  Rachel  Gardiner. 

There  was  another  child,  but  I  have  not  learned  his  or  her 
name. 

William  Van  Brunt,  the  father  of  these  fifteen  children  was  a 
stout  broad  shouldered  man  standing  five  feet  ten  inches  in  his 
stockings.  He  had  fair  skin,  keen  blue  eyes,  two  rows  of  double 
teeth,  and  was  an  athlete  in  his  younger  days. 

At  age  of  eighty-two,  he  read  without  glasses  and  had  not  lost 
a  tooth.     He  died  at  Lockport,  New  York,  in  autumn  of  1853. 

He  was  a  farmer  by  occupation  and  followed  same  business  in 
Steuben  County.  New  York;  he  was  also  a  judge  in  this  county. 

His  wife,  Elizabeth  Hankinson,  was  five  feet  eight  inches  in 
heighth,  and  in  her  mature  years  weighed  over  two  hundred 
pounds.     She  died  at  Lockport,  New  York,  March  18,  1847. 

William  Van  Brunt  was  ten  years  old  when  battle  of  Mon- 


86  A  Branch  of  the  Van  Brunt  Family  in  Monmouth  Co.,  N.J.     [April, 

mouth  was  fought.  His  father  was  High  Sheriff  of  the  county, 
and  had  gone  from  home  to  remove  a  lot  of  Tory  marauders  con- 
fined in  county  jail  to  some  other  place  as  the  British  army  was 
coming.  Before  his  father  got  back,  his  mother  was  terrified  at 
the  sound  of  the  cannonade.  William  Van  Brunt  afterward  told 
how  he  listened  to  this  noise,  and  thought  his  father  would  never 
get  home.  He  also  remembered  the  many  raids  of  the  refugees 
from  Sandy  Hook  and  the  Pine  robbers,  etc. 

His  son,  Nicholas,  married  in  1822,  Sarah  Reynolds,  and  lived 
for  some  time  at  Penn  Yann  in  New  York.  In  1830,  he  removed 
to  Perth  Amboy,  New  Jersey,  where  he  lived  the  rest  of  his  life. 

He  died  here  in  1840  and  was  buried  there. 

He  had  the  following  children: 

1 .  Rebecca  Ann,  who  married  Charles,  a  son  of  John  Eldridge 

and  Mary  his  wife  of  Monmouth  County,  New  Jersey. 
This  couple  had  only  one  child,  a  daughter  named 
Sarah  Eldridge,  who  for  many  years  was  the  principal 
of  a  public  school  on  Staten  Island,  New  York.

died  about  1847,  in  service  of  his  country.

Jane,  and  Carrie. 

5.  Peter    Swartz,  born  at  Perth    Amboy,  July  4,   1832,  was 

married  April  2,  1857,  by  Rev.  William  Kelly,  to  Miss 
Mary  Henrietti  Thomas,  and  had  four  sons  named 
below. 

6.  Edward  Schenck  was  the  youngest  child,  and  was  adopted 

and  educated  by  Commodore  Kearney,  and  after  his 
death,  the  wife  of  David  R.  Schenck  took  charge  of 
him.  He  was  a  fine  looking  man  with  a  brilliant  mind, 
but  died  yonng  and  unmarried.

SOUTHWOLD, 

THE    ENGLISH    HOME    OF    REV.    JOHN    YONGES,    OF 

SOUTHOLD,   LONG   ISLAND,    NEW   YORK. 


By  Lucy  Dubois  Akerly. 


Those  of  Anglo-Saxon  lineage  speak  of 
England  as  the  mother  country.  Perhaps 
this  will  explain  the  peculiarly  close  tie 
which  binds  the  American  to  an  older,  more 
conventional,  yet  infinitely  more  picturesque, 
civilization  than  his  own. 

Almost  every  foot  of  the  British  Isles  has 
some  association  with  the  past,  or  as  Ruskin 
would  express  it,  "  some  lamp  of  memory." 

South  wold,  103  miles  from  London,  in  the 
Hundred  of  Blything  and  County  of  Suffolk, 
England,  is  a  place  of  great  interest  to  many 
in  this  country,  as  having  been  the  residence 
of  Rev.  John  Yonges;  and  of  his  father,  the 
Rev.  Christopher  Yonges,  Vicar  of  Reydon 
and  South  wold. 

The   Rev.    John  Yonges  (Yongs,  Young, 
Youngs),  was  one  of  the  principal  founders 
of  the  oldest  town  on  Long  Island,  which  he 
called  Southold,  after  his  former  home,  also  giving  the  county 
which  it  was  situated  the  English  name  of  Suffolk. 

South  wold  belonged  to  the  powerful  Iceni,  or  Cenomagni,  a 
British  tribe,  who,  under  Boadicea,  were  conquered  by  the 
Romans  A.  I).  62.  Afterward  it  formed  part  of  the  kingdom  of 
East  Anglia,  which  though  one  of  the  least  important  divisions 
of  the  so-called  Saxon  Heptarchy,  gave  its  name  to  all  England.* 

From  remains  found  in  the  cliffs  the  Danes  are  believed  to 
have  had  a  camp  at  South  wold. 

It  is  styled  in  old  records  Suwald,  Suwalda,  Sudholda,  South- 
wand,  Southold,  etc.,  and  owes  its  name  to  a  wood  which  no 
longer  exists,  called  "  Bovens  "  in  the  Domesday  Book.\ 

It  is  an  island  at  high  tide,  formed  by  the  River  Blythe,  Buss 
Creek,!  and  the  North  Sea.  The  inhabited  portion  facing  the 
ocean  is  on  a  bluff  25  to  30  feet  high,  parts  of  which  bear  the 
familiar  names  of  Long  island  and  New  York  Cliffs. 

According  to  the  Domesday  survey,  io8i-'86,  the  sea  line  is 
now  a  mile  further  inland  than  at  that  time.

94.  Southold,  the  English  Home  of  Rev.  John  Yonges,  [April, 

A  fine  bathing  beach  makes  Southwold  one  of  the  most 
attractive  of  English  watering  places.  The  climate  is  unusually 
mild  in  winter  and  bracing  in  summer.  Many  of  the  beach 
pebbles  are  of  agate  and  carnelian,  relics  of  the  glacial  age.* 

On  a  summer  day  the  joy  of  color  makes  this  region  a  para- 
dise for  artists.  The  surrounding  marshes  or  meadows,  with  the 
flat  country  beyond,  are  wonderfully  like  Holland,  or  our  own 
Long  Island.  Their  rich  green  makes  a  fine  setting  for  the 
town,  which  can  be  described  as  a  symphony  in  reds  and  greys, 
with  its  noble  church  and  stately  light-house  towering  above  it, 
while  beyond  stretches  the  unfathonable  sea,  lost  at  last  in  the 
horizon  line  of  the  soft,  low,  silvery  cloud-flecked  English  sky. 

As  one  looks  landward  during  the  spring  months  there  is  a 
blaze  of  golden  gorse  visible,  while  in  August  the  heather  lends 
a  not  less  beautiful  purple  glow  to  the  landscape. 

The  Domesday  Book  mentions  Sudwalda  as  existing  to  feed 
the  monks  of  Bury  St.  Edmunds,  yielding  them  25,000  herrings, 
as  against  20,000  in  the  days  of  Edward  the  Confessor. 

A  controversy  having  arisen  as  to  the  erection  of  a  chapel 
there,  it  was  decided  in  1202  that  the  Cluniac  Monastery,  of 
Thetford,  in  right  of  their  cell  at  Wangford,  and  as  patrons  of  the 
church  at  Rissemere  (Reydon),  to  which  Southwold  was  a  ham- 
let, should  build  a  chapel  on  a  site  to  be  given  by  Bury,  but  that 
Thetford  and  its  dependencies  should  have  the  sole  jurisdiction 
over  it,  and  that  all  christenings,  marriages  and  burials  should 
take  place  at  Reydon. 

It  is  a  source  of  deep  regret  that  the  earliest  Parish  Register 
of  Reydon,  now  extant,  dates  only  from  1712,  thus  depriving  us 
of  priceless  genealogical  lore. 

The  first  Southwold  chapel  was  burnt  aboiit  1422-32,  the 
second  was  parochial,  the  baptisms,  marriages,  etc.,  to  be  cele- 
brated there,  but  until  175 1  it  was  a  chapel  of  ease  only,  to  be 
served  by  the  Vicar  of  Reydon. 

The  earliest  mention  of  a  burial-place  at  Southwold  is  of  its 
enlargement,  found  in  a  deed  dated  Wangford,  13th  Apl.,  1458. 
Neither  at  Reydon  nor  Southwold  churchyards  are  there  any 
gravestones  legible  that  ante-date  1700. 

The  third  church,  dating  from  1460,  is  still  standing,  and 
dedicated  to  St.  Edmund,  King  and  Martyr.  It  is  of  dressed  flint 
and  stone,  wonderfully  beautiful  in  tint,  mellowed  by  the  cen- 
turies that  it  has  seen  come  and  go.  It  was  a  pleasure  to  be  one 
of  its  crowded  congregation,  and  to  visit  its  flourishing,  admir- 
ably taught  Sunday-schools. 

What  is  left  of  the  interior  is  imposing,  including,  among 
other  things,  richly  carved  pews  and  stalls,  a  wooden  Jack  in 
armor,  who  formerly  struck  the  hours  (p.  93),  and  an  exquisite 
rood-screen,  with  quaint  painted  figures. 

Col.  Dowsing,  a  Vandal  Parliamentarian,  was  appointed 
"  Visitor  of  the  Suffolk  Churches  "  in  1643.  Under  the  guise  of 
religion  he  and  his  followers  perpetrated  every  sacrilige  here  and

elsewhere  in  the  neighborhood,  destroying  images,  pictures, 
tombs  and  brasses,  which  to-day  would  be  of  untold  value. 

The  arms  of  the  borough  of  South  wold  are,  according  to 
Burke,  "  Sable,  two  arrows  in  saltire  enfiled  with  a  ducal  cor- 
onet, or,  crest,  a  bust  of  a  man  couped  at  the  breast,  vested  and 
regally  crowned." 

Another  coat  has  a  dolphin  in  chief,  and  another  in  base,  with 
the  letters  E.  S.  on  either  side. 

The  arrows  allude  to  the  martyrdom  of  King  Edmund. 


From  wax  impressions  of  two  ancient  maces  at  Soutbwold. 

In  1603  South  wold  was  devastated  by  the  plague,  and  in  1659 
a  most  disasterous  fire  occurred,  from  which  the  town  has  never 
fully  recovered. 

In  1654  there  were  about  2,000  inhabitants,  in  1750  only  666; 
in  1901  they  numbered  2,782. 

The  Parish  Register  begins  in  1602;  part  of  the  first  volume  is 
in  the  copperplate  handwriting  of  Rev.  Christopher  Yonges,  who 
was  instituted  to  the  Vicarage  of  Reydon  with  South  wold,  14 
Jan.,  161 1.     {Institution  Books  0/  Norwich.)

g6  Southwohi,  the  English  Home  of  Rev.  John   Yonges,  [April, 

The  late  Mr.  Charles  B.  Moore  thought  that  "  Christopher 
Yonges  was  probably  educated  at  Oxford,  graduated  A.  B.  156^, 
M.  A.  in  1566,  licensed  4  July,  incepted  4  July,  and  elected  Chap- 
lain of  Windsor,  6  Mch.  156^."*  The  proof  of  the  statement 
does  not  appear. 

Vicar  Christopher  Yonges  was  buried  16  June,  1626,  and  his 
widow  Margaret,  1  Nov.  1630.     (Southiuold  Parish  Register.) 

A  small,  much  worn  brass,  14  J£  x  5  inches,  in  the  chancel  of 
St.  Edmund's  marks  his  grave,  bearing  the  following  inscription: 


E 

"  Here  Lyeth  interred  y  body  of  Mr.  Christopher 

E 

Yonges   who  depted  this  life  y   14   day   of  Ivne

And  manie  by  his  ministrie

"The  will  of  William  Yonges,  of  Lowestoft,  22  Juue,  1530, 
proved  7  Mch.,  1530,  names  wife  Margery.  William  Hocker,  of 
Lowertoft,  executor.     (Arch.  Suff.  Ipswich,  B.  10,  L.  172.)  " 

"  The  will  of  Christopher  Home,  of  Aylesham,  yeoman,  4 
Mch.,  1602,  proved  21  Apl.,  1603.  To  be  buried  in  the  church- 
yard of  Aylesham  where  my  wife  lyeth  buried.  Nephew  Chris- 
topher Yonges,  of  Colby,  the  elder.  His  daughters  tenements  in 
Colby  and  Albie.  Christopher,  John  and  William  Yonges,  sons  of 
my  nephew  Christopher  Yonges.  Wife  Emma  Home,  sister 
Johan  Yonges.  Kinsman  William  Barker,  of  Aylesham.  Cousin 
Awby,  of  Weston,  Norfolk.  John  Crome  and  Elizabeth  his  wife. 
Codicil  added  15  Apl.,  1603.  (C.  Court,  Norwich,  B.  Norfolk,  L. 
242.)" 

"  The  same  will  was  proved  in  the  Prerogative  Court  of  Lon- 
don and  registered  in  Book  Harte  J<p."\ 

These  two  wills  are  doubtless  a  clue  to  the  ancestry  of  Vicar 
Christopher  Yonges,  whose  sons,  so  far  as  known  of  them,  were: 
Kdward,  John,  Joseph  and  Christopher,  the  latter  at  least  being 
a  native  of  the  County  of  Norfolk.  Therefore,  it  is  not  unreason- 
able to  suppose  that  Christopher,  John  and  William  Yonges 
might  be  Rev.  Christopher  Yonges,  of  Southwold,  and  his  two 
brothers,  sons  of  Christopher  Yonges,  the  elder,  of  Colby,  Nor- 
folk, and  grandsons  of  Johan  Yonges,  sister  of  Christopher 
Home. 

"The  will  of  Christopher  Yonges,  Clerk,  minister  of  South- 
wold, dated  21  Nov., ,  proved  5  Jul}',  1626,  leaves  wife  Mar- 
garet all  lands  for  life,  then  to  my  six  children,  John,  Joseph,

"The  will  of  Margaret  Younges,  late  wife  of  Christopher 
Younges,  deceased,  of  Southwold,  27  Oct.,  1630,  proved  8  Jan., 
1630,  leaves  the  house  and  land  she  dwells  in  to  be  divided

The  Vicar"s  children,  Edward  and  Elizabeth  Yonges,  were 
drowned  with  twenty-two  others,  on  St.  James'  Day,  1616,  and 
buried  July  31st. f     (Southwold  Parish  Register). 

Three  of  the  children  named  in  the  wills  of  the  Vicar  and  his 
wife  were  Rev.  John  Yonges,  of  Southold,  L.  I.;  Christopher 
Yonges,  of  Wenham, t  Mass.,  and  Martha,  wife  of  Thomas  Moore, 
of  Salem,  Mass.,  and  Southold,  L.  I.  She  was  probably  the 
youngest  child,  and  was  baptized  at  Southwold,  Eng.,  1  July,  1613. 
{Parish  Register.) 

Mary,  daughter  of  the  Vicar,  doubtless  married  William 
Browne,  of  Salem.  Joseph  Yonges  probably  married  Margaret 
Warryn  at  .Southwold,  or  else  the  Vicar's  daughter,  Margaret, 
married  a  Joseph  Yonges. 

The  wdl  of  Christopher  Yonges,  of  Wenham,  Mass.,  dated 
19  :4  :  1647,  the  day  of  his  death,  entrusts  his  daughters,  Sarah 
and  Mary,  to  the  care  of  his  mother-in-law,  naming  her  husband, 
his  father-in-law,  Mr.  Richard  Elvin,  of  Great  Yarmouth,  in  our 
native  county  of  Norfolk,  England,  (ante,  p.  96). 

His  son  Christopher  Yonges  was  to  be  given  to  Mr.  John 
Phillips  at  Wrentham,  Eng.,  and  until  the  children  can  be  sent 
to  England  they  were  to  be  cared  for  by  the  testator's  two  sisters, 
the  wife  of  Joseph  Yonge  and  the  wife  of  Thomas  Moor,  of 
Salem. 

The  inventory  of  Christopher  Yonges  was  X51 :  us.  His 
wife,  Priscella  Elvin,  died  before  him.    (Essex  Co.,  Mass.,  Wills. )$ 

The  inventory  of  Capt.  Joseph  Yonges,  of  Southold,  L.  I., 
dated  15  Sept.,  1658,  amounted  to  ,£477:  09:  00.  A  legal  document 
of  Margaret,  his  widow,  names  her  sons,  Joseph,  John,  Gideon 
and  Samuel.     (Southold  Town  Rec.,  I,  438,69.) 

"Joseph  Yonges  and  Margaret  Warryn  were  married  1632, 
Feb.  5.  Joseph,  son  of  Joseph  and  Margaret  Yonges,  was  bap- 
tized, 1633,  Jan.  23.  "John,  son  of  Joseph  and  Margaret  Yonges,

Daniel  More,  grocer,  of  Southwold,  issued  farthing  tokens  in 
1668. 

From  Thomas  Moore,  of  Salem  and  Southold,  descend  a  num- 
erous progency,  among  them  the  late  Mr.  Charles  B.  Moore, 
author  of  the  admirable  Indexes  to  Southold  Genealogies.  By 
tradition  the  said  Thomas  Moore  was  the  son  of  a  Norfolk  clergy- 
man, probably  Thomas  Moore,  Vicar  of  Strumpshaw.* 

To  return  to  Rev.  John  Yonges,  so  well  described  by  Rev. 
Dr.  Whitaker.f  he  married  25  July,  1622,  Joan  Herrington, 
widow.  Their  children,  John  and  Thomas,  were  baptized  re- 
spectively 1623,  Apl.  3,  and  1625,  May  1,  at  Southwold. \  Both 
are  called  grandsons  in  the  will  of  Vicar  Yonges  and  both  came 
to  Long  Island. 

"  1613,  Mch.  7,  Robert  Herrington  married  Johan  Jentilman." 
"  Robert,  son  of  Robert  and  Joan  Herrington,  was  bapt.  1616, 
Oct.  1."  There  is  apparently  no  entry  of  the  death  of  Robert 
Herrington  in  the  Southwold  Parish  Register. 

"  1609,  July,  Thomas  Jentillman  was  buried  the  30  day.  He 
lived  above  four  score  yeares  in  pfect  sight  and  memorie,  and  in 
his  flourishing  time  for  building  of  shippes  and  many  other 
commendable  parts  he  continued  in  his  place  unmatchable."  J 

"  Thomas  Gentleman  lived  to  the  advanced  age  of  98  years. 
He  was  born  in  Southwold  in  15 11,  and  died  in  1609,  having  been 
Bailiff  in  1534,  '72,  '86,  '96  and  1604,  and  gave  the  'Composition 
Lings'  seventy  years  unto  four  princes,  viz.:  King  Edward, 
Queen  Mary,  Queen  Elizabeth,  and  until  the  sixth  year  of  our 
most  gracious  Sovereign  King  James  the  First,  which  comes  to 
much  more  than  one  thousand  pounds  for  one  man  of  that  town 
to  pay  the  Government."! 

Tobias  Gentleman,  son  of  the  above  Thomas,  was  instru- 
mental in  reviving  and  successfully  establishing  the  Royal  Fish- 
eries. He  wrote  a  pamphlet  entitled  "  England's  Way  to  Win 
Wealth,  and  to  Employ  Ships  and  Mariners,"  dated  16 14. 

"  Composition  Lings  "  were  those  fish  which  the  King's  Ser- 
geant-Eater hath  yearly  out  of  every  ship  and  bark,  gratis,  one 
hundred  of  the  choicest  and  fairest  Lings  (from  the  Iceland  ships), 
which  are  worth  more  than  ten  pounds  the  hundred,  and  they 
call  them  Composition  Fish."     (From  T.  Gentleman's  pamphlet.) 

With  the  marriage  of  Joan  Jentilman  to  Thomas  Beaumont  in 
1628,  the  name  disappears  from  the  Parish  Register. 

If  Joan  Herrington  descended  from  Thomas  Jentilman  she 
was  probably  his  great-granddaughter. 

It  is  possible  that  Rev.  John  Yonges  was  married  three  times, 
for  it  is  stated  in  the  testimony  of  John  Grover,  of  Beverly, 
Mass.;  Sarah  Chat  well,  of  Salem,  and  Mary  Gage,  of  Beverly, 
that  Nicholas  Woodbury,  of  Beverly,  married  Anna,  whose 
maiden  name  was  always  understood  to  be   Palgrave,  and  who

America  by  her  father-in-law,  Mr.  John  Yonge* 

"Anna  Woodberry    died  10  June,    1701,  being  aged    about 
seventy-five  years."     (Beverly  Records.) 

One  of  the  Parish  Registers  at  Great  Yarmouth  has  the  entry 
of  the  marriage  of  Richard  Palgrave  and  Joan  Harris,  24  Jan. 
1625-6.1       Anna,    their    daughter,    was   baptized    29    Oct.,    1626. 

Richard  Palgrave  died  30  Mch.,  1630,  and  Joan  married  2d 
Rev.  John  Young,  minister,  of  St.  Margarett's,  Suffolk,  England, 
and  he  was  35  years  of  age  in  1637  when  they,  with  six  children, 
removed  to  New  England. J 

Thomas  Harris  was  Bailiff  at  Yarmouth  in  1581,  and  the  South 
Gate  in  that  town  was  sometimes  called  Harris  Gate.g 

"  Rev.  John  Yonge  died  24  Feb.,  167$,  in  his  74th  year.|| 
(tombstone  at  Southold).  Administration  on  his  estate  was 
granted  to  his  widow,  Mary,  in  1675,  he  having  left  a  non-cupa- 
tive  will  only.*! 

The  will  of  Mary  Youngs,  "widow  of  John  Youngs,  sometime 
minister  of  this  town,"  dated  5  Nov.,  1978,  names  John  Youngs, 
eldest  son  of  my  said  husband,  Benjamin  Youngs,  my  eldest  son. 
(by  my  last  husband),  Christopher  Youngs,  son  of  my  husband 
He  was  Mary's  son  also.  Thomas  Youngs,  Sarah  Youngs,  Mary 
Youngs,  my  daughter,  and  Mary  Youngs,  my  grandchild.  Ed- 
ward Pattey  is  to  have  a  sheep  as  a  full  portion  with  what  he 
already  hath.     (Southold  Town  Rec,  II,  17.). 

"  The  will  of  Thomas  Warren,  of  Southwold,  Eng.,  merchant, 
4  Mch.,  1641,  proved  13  Sept.,  1645,  mentions  the  children  of  his 
daughter  Mary,  wife  of  John  Youngs,  now  in  New  England, 
Mary  Gardiner,  his  said  daughter's  daughter,  and  his  grandson, 
Benjamin  Youngs,  also  his  daughter  Margaret,  wife  of  Joseph 
Youngs,  sons  Thomas  and  George  Warren,  deceased  son  Robert 
Warren,  daughter  Deborah,  and  son-in-law  Simon  Barnard. 
(Arch  Suff.,  Ipswich.     Orig.  Wills,  1645,  No.  20.)"** 

Thomas  Warren  was  Baliff  of  Southwold  1614,  '20,  '27,  '33 
and  '38.ft 

It  has  been  supposed  that  the  last  wife  of  Rev.  John  Yonges 
was  a  widow,  Petty,  from  the  bequest  to  Edward  Pattey,  but  it 
would  seem  as  if  her  first  husband  had  been  named  Gardiner. 
Mary  Gardiner,  her  daughter,  may  have  been  ordinarily  known 
by  the  surname  of  her  step-father,  Yonges,  or  she  may  have 
married  her  step-brother,  Col.  John  Yonges. 

Petty  and  Gardiner  are  both  well  known  Long  Island  names. 
Petty,  or  Pettie,  occurs  frequently  in  the  Southwold  Parish  Reg- 
ister in  the  17th  and  18th  centuries.

Robert  Gardiner  was  Rector  of  Cookly,  Suffolk,  a  few  miles 
from  Southwold,  in  1349.     (Suckley's  Hist,  of  Suffolk  Co.,  Eng.) 

The  Dean  of  Norwich,  Eng.,  in  1573,  was  George  Gardiner, 
D.  D.,  son  of  George  Gardiner,  Gent.,  of  the  Lancashire  family 
of  that  name.  Their  arms,  granted  24  Apl.,  1577,  were:  "  Sable,

buried  in.  Southwold  churchyard.  They  were  born  at  Reydon

martyred  King  Edmund,  or  dwelling  on  the  rivalries  of  South- 
wold,  with  its  neighbors  Dunwich  and  Blythburgh,  or  telling  the 
story  of  their  decay. 

We  must  bid  farewell  to  this  fascinating  bit  of  Suffolk,  the 
half  of  whose  charm  has  not  yet  been  told.  Its  very  life  is  set  in 
an  ecclesiastical  key,  its  religious  institutions  were  once  its  chief 
glory,  and  are  even  to-day  its  most  precious  monuments. 

Brave  little  Southwold  goes  on  sturdily  and  steadfastly  in 
spite  of  fire,  of  the  decay  of  trade  and  the  constant  gnawing  of 
the  waves. 

The  deep-toned  bell  sounds  the  evening  hour  over  the 
meadows,  adown  the  ages,  saying  to  Southwold's  younger  sister

Savages  Gen.  Die.,  Vol.  Ill,  p.  8,  states,  William  Kemp, of  Dux- 
burv,  a  passenger  on  the  ship  James,  left  Southampton,  England 
m  April,  1635  and  arrived  in  Boston  June  3rd,  1635;  he  had  a  son 
William,  of  Duxbury,  who  married  Patience,  daughter  of  Rev. 
Thomas  Thacher.  The  same  authority,  Vol.  IV,  p.  273,  mentions

mouth, Mass.  Davis'  Landmarks  of  Plymouth,  Mass.,  Part  II,

keeset;  he  had  a  son,  William  Kemp,  2nd,  who  married  Patience 
Thacher,(?)  (note  the  interrogation  point),  which  William  Kemp 
2d,  had  a  daughter  (Patience  Kemp)  who  married  Samuel  Sea- 
bury.  D.  W.  Allen's  Thacher  Genealogy,  page  8,  states,  Patience 
Thacher,  daughter  of  Rev.  Thomas  Thacher,  of  Weymouth  and 
Boston,  Mass.,  married  William  Kemp.  And  various  family 
genealogies,  quoting  from  antecedent  authorities,  have  per- 
petuated this  error,  which  has  remained  without  specific  refuta- 
tion until  this  date. 

It  is  the  object  of  this  article  to  establish  that  Patience 
Thacher,  daughter  of  Rev.  Thomas  Thacher,  never  existed  in  the 
flesh:  and  also  to  establish  that  William  Kemp,  2d,  likewise  never 
existed  in  the  flesh;  or  if  he  did,  that  he  never  married  a  Patience 
Thacher,  the  hypothetical  daughter  of  Rev.  Thomas  Thacher. 

Rev.  Ralph  Partridge  arrived  in  this  country  November  17th, 
1636  (Items  of  Ancestry,  p.  63);  was  made  minister  of  Duxbury, 
Mass.,  lived  there  and  died  there  in  that  capacity.  He  made  his 
will  Sept.  20th,  1655;  which  will  was  probated  May  4th,  1658,  and 
in  that  will  he  mentions  his  daughter  Elizabeth,  her  2nd  son, 
Ralph  Thacher,  her  eldest  daughter,  Patience  Kemp,  and  her 
youngest  son,  Peter  Thacher. 

All  authorities  agree  that  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Rev.  Ralph 
Partridge,  married,  May  n,  1643,  Rev.  Thomas  Thacher,  of  Wey- 
mouth, Mass.,  then,  and  subsequently  of  Boston,  Mass.  But,  if 
Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Rev.  Ralph  Partridge,  married  Rev. 
Thomas  Thacher  May  nth,  1643,  then  her  eldest  child  by  this 
marriage,  in  the  ordinary  course  of  nature,  could  not  possibly 
have  been  born  before  late  in  1643,  or  early  in  1644;  probably  in 
January,  1644;  this  child  would  then,  at  the  date  (Sept.  20th, 
1655)  of  her  grandfather,  Rev.  Ralph  Partridge's  will,  have  been 
but  eleven  (11)  years  and  eight  (8)  months  old,  an  age  too  young 
for  her  (if  a  girl)  to  have  married  previous  to  the  date  of  the  will 
and  to  have  changed  her  name  from  Thacher  to  Kemp.  How 
does  it  happen  then,  that  in  her  grandfather's  will  she  (the 
eldest  daughter  of  the  Rev.  Ralph  Partridge's  daughter  Eliza- 
beth Partridge)  is  called  Patience  Kemp  and  not  Patience  Thacher? 
Giving  her  the  benefit  of  all  natural  conditions  and  permitting 
her  to  be  the  eldest  child  as  well  as  the  eldest  daughter  of  Eliza- 
beth Partridge  and  Rev.  Thomas  Thacher,  and  assuming  her  of 
course  to  have  been  born  in  wedlock,  as  undoubtedly  she  was,  then 
January,  1644,  approximately,  would  be  her  earliest  date  of  birth, 
and  her  age  at  the  date  of  Rev.  Ralph  Partridge's  will  would, 
as  above  stated,  be  but  eleven  (11)  years  and  eight  (8)  months, 
an  age  too  young  for  her  to  have  previously  married  and  changed 
her  name  from  Thacher  to  Kemp.  The  evident  conclusion  is 
that  Elizabeth  Partridge,  daughter  of  Rev.  Ralph  Partridge, 
must  have  been  married  previous  to  her  marriage  with  Rev. 
Thomas  Thacher,  and  she  must  have  had  a  daughter  by  this  first 
marriage,  which  daughter,  at  the  date  (September  20th,  1655)  of 
her  grandfather  Ralph  Patridge's  will,  bore  the  name  of  Patience 
Kemp.

How  then  could  her  name  at  that  date  be  Patience  Kemp?

band, may  have  been  named  Kemp,  or  she  may  have  been  the 
daughter  of  Elizabeth  Partridge  by  a  first  husband  (surname 
unknown)  and  have  been  old  enough  at  the  date  (September 
20th,  1655)  of  her  grandfather's  will  to  have  been  married  to 
one   named  Kemp. 

Let  us  now  investigate  this  matter  from  the  standpoint  of 
the  record  of  William  Kemp,  1st.  William  Kemp,  1st  resided  at 
Duxbury,  Mass.  Winsor's  History  of  Duxbury  states  that  he 
married  Elizabeth (maiden  surname  not  given).  His  inven- 
tory was  taken  September  23rd,  1641.  Estate  ^150.  He  had 
land  at  Beaver  Pond,  South  River  and  Namassakeeset,  and  had  a 
son  William,  2nd,  who  married  Patience  Thacher  (?)  (note  the 
interrogation  point  as  indicating  doubt  on  Winsor's  part  as  to 
the  authenticity  of  this  last  statement).  Winsor  on  same  page 
states  that  this  William  Kemp,  2nd,  had  a  daughter  by  this  Pa- 
tience Thacher  (?),  which  daughter  married  Samuel  Seabury. 
Notice  (1)  William  Kemp,  1st,  wife's  Christian  name  was  Eliza- 
beth   ,  maiden  surname  not  given.  Why  could  it  not  have  been 

Partridge?     (2)  William  Kemp,  ist,  died  previous  to  September 

23rd,  164 1,  and  therefore  his  widow,  Elizabeth ,  was  on  May 

11th,  1643,  free  to  contract  a  second  marriage.  Why  could  she 
not  have  been  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Rev.  Ralph  Partridge,  who 
on  May  11,  1643,  did  marry  Rev.  Thomas  Thacher. 

But  if  the  first  William  Kemp  had  a  son  William  Kemp,  2nd, 
who  married  a  Patience  Thacher,  who  was  the  Patience  Thacher 
that  he  married  ?  She  must  have  been  the  daughter  of  Rev- 
Thomas  Thacher  by  his  wife  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Rev.  Ralph 
Partridge,  as  common  acceptance  by  the  early  authorities  has 
established  it.  But  by  the  course  of  reasoning  previously  em- 
ployed, we  see  that  in  that  case  she  could  not  have  been  born 
before  January,  1644;  and  that  on  September  20th,  1655  (the  date 
of  her  grandfather's  will)  at  the  age  of  eleven  years  and  eight 
months,  she  was  known  as  Patience  Kemp.  Then  if  her  name 
at  that  date  was  Patience  Kemp,  because  she  had  previously  mar- 
ried William  Kemp,  2d,  she  must  have  married  him  before  she 
was  11  years  and  eight  months  old,  a  manifest  improbability. 

The  inevitable  conclusion  from  the  above  is  that  William 
Kemp,  ist,  had  no  son  William  Kemp,  2nd,  who  married  a  Patience 
Thacher,  and  in  all  probability  he  had  no  son  William  Kemp, 
2nd,  whatever;  and  the  evident  conclusion  is  that  William  Kemp, 
ist,  himself  was  the  father  of  the  Patience  Kemp  who  is  men- 
tioned in  the  will  of  the  Rev.  Ralph  Partridge.  For  William 
Kemp,  ist  married  Elizabeth ,  maiden  surname  not  specific- 
ally given,  but  by  strong  circumstantial  and  inferential  evidence 
she  was  Elizabeth  Partridge,  daughter  of  Rev.  Ralph  Partridge. 
William  Kemp,  ist,  died  previous  to  September  23rd,  1641,  after 
a  short  married  career,  leaving  one  child,  a  daughter,  Patience 
Kemp,  named  after  her  maternal  grandmother,  wife  of  Rev. 
Ralph  Partridge,  whose  Christian  name  was  as  a  matter  of  record 
Patience.     Elizabeth  Partridge- Kemp,  widow  of  William   Kemp, 


104  The  Laying  of  Two  Genealogical  Ghosts.  [April, 

ist,  and  having  one  child,  Patience  Kemp,  married  a  second  time, 
May  nth,  1643,  Rev.  Thomas  Thacher;  and  her  daughter,  Pa- 
tience Kemp,  became  the  step-daughter  of  Rev.  Thomas  Thacher. 
This  child  was  probably  but  an  infant  at  the  time  of  her  mother's 
second  marriage  and  was  brought  up  and  lived  until  she  married 
in  her  stepfather's  family,  and  thus  may  have  become  known  as 
Patience  Thacher,  whereas  in  reality  she  was  Patience  Kemp. 
These  circumstances  have  aided  in  establishing  the  long  existing 
confusion  of  calling  her  Patience  Thacher;  and  have  forced  gen- 
ealogists to  summon  into  existence  a  mythical  second  William 
Kemp  to  whom  to  marry  her,  in  order  to  provide  parents  for  a 
Patience  Kemp  (whose  existence  they  could  not  otherwise  account 
for),  who  was  by  them  supposed  to  have  subsequently  become 
the  wife  of  Samuel  Seabury  of  Duxbury.  All  of  this  confusion  is 
due  to  the  absence  of  specific  record  showing  that  Elizabeth  Par- 
tridge was  first  married  to  William  Kemp,  ist,  who  shortly  there- 
after died  leaving  a  daughter,  Patience  Kemp. 

Let  us  now  investigate  the  matter  from  the  Seabury  stand- 
point. 

From  Winsor's  Duxbury,  p.  305,  we  have  the  following: 
Samuel  Seabury  was  born  in  Boston,  December  10th,  1640;  he 
removed  to  Duxbury,  Mass.,  and  was  a  physician.  He  was  mar- 
ried first  at  Weymouth,  Mass.,  on  December  9th  (or  16th),  1660, 
to  Patience  Kemp,  who  died  October  29th,  1676.  He  was  mar- 
ried second  on  April  4th,  1677,  to  Martha  Pabodie.  He  died 
August  5th,  1681.  He  had  by  first  and  second  wives,  amongst 
other  children,  a  son  John  and  a  daughter  Hannah,  whose  names 
are  here  specifically  mentioned  in  connection  with  subject  matter 
to  be  referred  to  later. 

Notice  the  fact  that  Patience  Kemp,  his  first  wife,  was  married 
at  Weymouth,  Mass.,  the  home  at  that  time  (1660)  of  Rev.  Thomas 
Thacher  and  Elizabeth  Partridge  his  wife;  she  was  undoubtedly 
the  stepdaughter  of  Rev.  Thomas  Thacher,  and  child  of  Eliza- 
beth Partridge  by  her  first  husband  William  Kemp.  Notice  also 
the  date  of  her  marriage  (1660)  to  Samuel  Seabury,  which  if  she 
was,  as  I  state,  the  daughter  of  William  Kemp,  ist,  would  make 
her  date  of  birth  not  later  than  early  in  1642  (even  allowing  her 
to  be  posthumous)  as  her  father's  inventory  was  taken  September 
23rd,  1641.  She  would  then  in  1660  have  been  at  a  proper  age 
for  marriage  and  at  the  then  prevailing  age  of  marriage,  about 
18  years  old. 

Let  us  now  see  what  light  is  thrown  on  this  controversy  by 
an  examination  of  the  Plymouth  Colony  Records,  viz  : — April 
2nd,  1640,  John  Howland  deeds  to  William  Kemp  85  acres  of 
land.  (Vol.  XII,  p.  56.)  April  2nd,  1640,  John  Handmore  deeds 
to  William  Kemp  10  acres  of  land.  (Vol.  XII,  p.  57.)  April  2nd, 
1640,  John  Shaw  deeds  to  William  Kemp  2  1-2  acres  of  land.  (Vol. 
XII,  p,  57.)  December  30th,  1640,  Comfort  Starr  deeds  to  John 
Maynard  land  lying  between  land  of  Mr.  William  Kemp  and  that 
of  Mr.  George  Partrich.  (Vol.  XII,  p.  66.)  November  2nd,  1641,

tration granted  to  Mrs.  Elizabeth   Kemp   to  administer  upon  all

goods,  cattells,  and  debt  which  William  Kemp,  her  late  husband 
died  possessed,  or  were  due  and  appertaining  unto  him  at  the  time 
of  his  decease;  provided  she  exhibit  upon  oath  a  true  inventory 
thereof  with  all  convenient  speed,  or  when  she  shall  be  there- 
unto required  by  the  Court.  (Vol.  II,  p.  27.)  April  5th,  1642,  at 
a  Court  of  Assistants,  Plymouth,  Mass,  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Kemp 
exhibited  upon  oath  an  inventory  ut  all  of  her  husband's  goo 
debts  and  cattells  to  this  Court.  (Vol.  2,  p.  37.)  May  7th,  1642, 
Robert  Hicks  deeds  for  £j  to  William  Brett  7  acres  of  upland 
lying  in  the  nook  towards  the  sea  next  to  the  land  of  Mrs.  Eliza- 
beth Kemp.  (Vol.  XII,  p.  80.)  June  23rd,  1643,  William  Brett  tor 
_£i2  deeds  to  Mr.  Ralph  Partridge  the  above  described  land, 
transferred  Mav  7th,  1642  from  Robert  Hicks  to  William  Brett. 
(Vol.  XII,  p.  80.) 

The  above  extracts  from  the  Plymouth  Colony  Records  estab- 
lish the  fact  that  William  Kemp,  1st,  was  living  December  30th, 
1640,  and  that  he  died  previous  to  November  2nd,  1641;  and  that 
his  widow's  Christian  name  was  Elizabeth.  By  the  transfer  of 
property  June  23rd,  1643,  from  William  Brett  to  Mr.  Ralph  Par- 
tridge we  inferentially  gather  the  fact  that  Rev.  Ralph  Partridge 
acquired  the  land  to  round  out  the  property  of  Mrs.  Elizabeth 
Kemp  whose  land  it  adjoined,  and  to  whom  at  his  death  he  left 
most  all  of  his  property  except  this  specific  piece  of  land  which 
he  left  to  her  second  son  Ralph  Thacher.  The  intimate  relation 
between  the  names  Kemp  and  Partridge,  even  at  this  early  date, 
June  23rd,  1643,  's  thus  established. 

Again  to  return  to  the  Plymouth  Colony  Records  :  July  7th, 
1674,  at  a  Court  of  His  Majesty  at  Plymouth,  Mass.,  "  Liberty  is 
granted  unto  Mr.  Samuel  Saberry  of  Duxbury,  to  look  out  for 
land  to  accommodate  him  in  reference  to  several  former  grants 
made  by  the  Court  to  Mr.  William  Kemp  deceased,  which  the 
said  Mr.  Kemp  never  had,  nor  any  for  him;  and  was  disappointed 
of  some  parcells  of  land  assigned  to  him,  and  thereby,  he  having 
an  interest  therein,  as  appears  by  the  records  of  this  Court  .  if 
therefore,  the  said  Mr  Saberry,  his  son-in-law,  can  find  any  lands 
as  yet  undisposed  of,  he  is  to  have  a  competent  accommodation 
of  lands  out  of  the  same."  (Vol.  V,  p.  150.) 

From  the  above  we  see  that  a  William  Kemp  had  certain 
lands  assigned  to  him  by  the  town  of  Duxbury,  which  allotment 
of  land  was  confirmed  by  the  Court  at  Plymouth,  but  which  lands 
were  never  during  his  lifetime  fully  acquired  by  him.  The  ques- 
tion then  arises  which  William  Kemp  this  was.  In  point  of  fact 
there  is  but  one  William  Kemp  ever  mentioned  in  the  Plymouth 
Colony  Records,  namely,  the  William  Kemp,  1st,  whose  wife 
Elizabeth  was  granted  letters  of  administration  Novem- 
ber 2nd,  1641.  In  any  subsequent  reference  to  William  Kemp  in 
the  records,  he  is  alwas  referred  to  as  deceased.  The  lands  in 
question  in  the  above  order  of  the  Court  are  undoubtedly  the 
meadow  lands  which  were  assigned  in  connection  with  the  Na- 
massakeeset  up-land  grant.  The  up-land  was  allotted  to  Willi  mi 
Kemp,  1st,  but  probably  due  to  death  soon  thereafter,  the 
meadow  land  appertaining  thereto  failed  to  be  allotted,  and  his

widow  soon  thereafter  removing  with  her  second  husband  to 
Weymouth,  the  claim  thereto  had  lain  dormant  until  revived  by- 
Samuel  Saberry,  who  married  the  daughter  of  William  Kemp,  ist, 
and  then  acquired  an  interest  in  the  claim,  and  saw  fit  to  push  it, 
he  living  at  the  time  in  Duxbury,  in  which  town  the  lands  in 
dispute  were  situated. 

Notice  at  this  point  that  on  October  29th,  1676,  Patience 
Kemp,  wife  of  Samuel  Saberry,  died.  And  then  we  have  from 
the  Plymouth  Colony  Records,  July  7th,  1682,  at  a  Court  of  his 
Majesty  at  Plymouth,  Mass.:  "The  Court  allows  and  approves 
Mr.  Rodolphus  Thacher  to  be  guardian  unto  two  of  Mr.  Samuel 
Saberry 's  children,  viz.:  Hannah  and  John  Saberry."  (Vol.  VI, 
p.  91.)  Mr.  Samuel  Saberry,  himself,  died  August  5th,  1681,  leav- 
ing as  his  widow  his  second  wife,  Martha  Pabodie.  What  more 
natural  then  than  to  have  Mr.  Rodolphus  Thacher  (a  resident  of 
Duxbury)  and  a  half  brother  of  Patience  Kemp,  the  first  wife  of 
Samuel  Saberry,  appointed  a  guardian  of  these  two  children,  in 
order  to  safeguard  the  interests  of  the  children  inherited  by  them 
from  William  Kemp,  ist,  through  Patience  Kemp,  his  daughter 
(the  first  wife  of  Samuel  Saberry).  who  was  the  mother  of  one  of 
the  children,  viz.:  Hannah  Saberry,  born  July  7th,  1668.  That  he 
Rodolphus  Thacher  at  once  acted  as  guardian  in  their  interests 
in  this  very  matter  is  seen  from  the  following  extract  from  the 
records  of  the  same  Court,  July  7th,  1682,  at  a  Court  of  his 
Majesty  at  Plymouth  Mass.:  "At  this  Court  Mr.  Ralph  Thacher" 
(Rodolphus  Thacher  and  Ralph  Thacher  were  one  and  the  same 
persons,  he  writing  his  name  both  ways).  "  came  into  the  Court 
and  petitioned  the  Court  to  take  into  their  consideration  a  grant 
of  land  made  unto  Mr.  William  Kemp,  lying  within  the  town  of 
Duxbury,  about  Namassakeesett,  with  meadow  convenient  to  be 
laid  forth  unto  the  same,  which  meadow  was  never  layed  out 
according  to  Court  order,  neither  what  was  done  about  the  laying 
out  of  it  to  be  found  upon  the  records,  nor  in  any  other  writing. 
The  Court  does  therefore  order  the  three  men  appointed  by  the 
town  of  Duxbury  to  lay  out  the  said  lands  and  run  the  ranges, 
viz.:  Ensign  John  Tracey,  John  Soule,  and  William  Paybody  to 
repair  to  the  said  place  and  lay  out  the  said  meadow  according 
to  that  proportion  the  said  land  and  meadows  were  ordered  to 
be  laid  out  by  the  town  of  Duxbury  at  the  first;  that  so  the 
upland  of  the  said  William  Kemp  may  be  accommodated  accord- 
ing to  Court  order."     (Vol.  VI,  pp.  92-93  ) 

From  all  of  the  above  authorities  as  quoted  it  seems  that  we 
may  unquestionably  regard  as  established  the  following  conclu- 
sions viz.: 

(1).  Rev.  Thomas  Thacher  and  Elizabeth  Partridge,  his  wife, 
had  no  daughter,  Patience  Thacher. 

(2).  Elizabeth  Partridge,  daughter  of  Rev.  Ralph  Partridge, 
married  first  William  Kemp,  by  whom  she  had  a  daughter, 
Patience  Kemp,  born  previous  to  May  nth,  1643.  William  Kemp 
died  previous  to  September  23,  1641,  and  hence  subsequent  to 
this  date  his  widow  was  free  to  contract  a  second  marriage; 
which,  in   fact,  she  did,  by  marrying  on  May   nth,   1643,    Rev.

Thomas  Thacher,  who  subsequeutly,  January  2d,  1644-5,  became 
the  minister  at  Weymouth,  Mass.,  and  remained  there  in  that 
capacity  until  subsequent  to  the  death,  on  June  2d,  1664,  of  Eliza- 
beth Partridge,  his  wife.  Rev.  Thomas  Thacher  was  born  in 
England  May  1st,  1620,  and  in  1643  was  presumably  about  the 
same  age  as  Elizabeth  Partridge,  who,  like  himself,  was  born  in 
England  (date  of  birth  unknown),  and  came  to  this  country 
November  17th,  1636,  with  her  father.  Elizabeth  Partridge,  soon 
after  her  coming  to  this  country,  married  first  William  Kemp, 
who  had  reached  this  country,  previous  to  her  arrival,  June  3d, 
1635,  on  the  ship  James.  Soon  after  his  marriage  William  Kemp 
died,  leaving  but  one  child,  Patience  Kemp,  and  not  leaving  a 
son,  William  Kemp,  2d,  who  never  in  reality  existed  at  all.  Eliza- 
beth Partridge-Kemp,  widow  af  the  only  William  Kemp,  shortly 
after  her  first  husband's  death,  married  on  May  11th,  1643,  Rev. 
Thomas  Thacher,  and  her  daughter  by  her  first  husband,  Patience 
Kemp,  became  the  step-daughter  of  Rev.  Thomas  Thacher,  and 
was  received  into  his  family,  and  brought  up  by  him,  and  married 
from  his  home  in  Weymouth,  Mass.,  on  December  9th  (or  i6th), 
1660,  to  Samuel  Saberry  (Seabury),  of  Duxbury,  Mass. 

(3).  Samuel  Seabury  did  not  marry  Patience  Kemp,  daughter 
of  William  Kemp,  2d,  (who  never  existed  in  the  flesh),  and  of 
Patience  Thacher  (who  also  never  existed),  but  married  Patience 
Kemp,  daughter  of  William  Kemp,  1st,  (the  only  William  Kemp), 
and  Elizabeth  Partridge,  his  wife,  he  being  her  first  hasband. 

(4).  William  Kemp,  2d,  and  Patience  Thacher  are  two  myth- 
ical individuals,  summoned  into  existence  by  early  genealogists, 
in  order  that  by  their  marriage  they  could  give  birth  to  a  Pati- 
ence Kemp,  who  was  subsequently  to  marry  Samuel  Seabury.  It 
was  known  beyond  doubt  that  Samuel  Seabury  did  marry  a 
Patience  Kemp,  and  so  these  hypothetical  parents  were  manu- 
factured for  her. 

With  these  final  remarks  we  relegate  Patience  Thacher, 
daughter  of  Rev.  Thomas  Thacher  and  Elizabeth  Partridge,  and 
William    Kemp,  2d,  son  of   William    Kemp,    1st,  and    Elizabeth 

,   his  wife,   back  to   the    realms    of    shade    whence   they 

were  summoned  by  those  who  carelessly  failed  to  examine  the 
records.

ton parish,  then  in  the  town  of  Windsor,  and  continued  to  live 
there  until  about  the  time  of  his  marriage,  when  he  settled  upon 
the  farm  which  had  belonged  to  Mrs.  Fuller's  first  husband. 
This  farm  was  purchased  from  Mrs.  Fuller's  heirs  by  her  son 
Jabez'  Fuller,  and  has  remained  in  the  Fuller  family  until  recent- 
ly, (1896).  David  Fuller  was  not  an  owner  of  real  estate  in  East 
Haddam,  but  Windsor  deeds  show  him  to  have  been  well  pro- 
vided with  lands  in  that  town.  One  deed  (vol.  14,  p.  201),  is 
especially  important.  It  reads  :  "Young  Fuller  of  Windsor,  for 
the  love  and  good  will  that  I  bare  to  my  son  David  Fuller,  for- 
merly of  Windsor  aforesaid,  now  living  at  East  Haddam,  two 
pieces  of  land  in  the  parish  of  Ellington,  one  half  my  dwelling

house  and  barn."  This  deed  is  dated  March  5,  1759,  and  was 
acknowledged  in  Colchester  in  presence  of  Caleb  and  Brock  way 
Beebe,  and  recorded  at  Windsor,  April  27,  1763.  It  looks  as  it 
this  deed  was  given  with  the  expectation  that  David  the  son 
would  settle  on  his  father's  farm  in  Ellington.  He  did  not  do  so, 
but  remained  in  East  Haddam,  as  aforesaid.  David  Fuller  was 
appointed  April  30,  1759,  guardian  to  Diademia  and  Beulah  Ful- 
ler, the  two  children  of  his  wife  by  her  first  husband.  The  births 
of  the  children  of  David  and  Lois  Fuller  are  not  recorded  in  the 
Bast  Haddam  town  records,  but  we  have  their  baptisms  from  the 
Church  records  as  follows  :

1785  at   Middletown,   married   Nov.   20,    1808  Julius 
Deming  and  resided  at  Shelby  Center,  N.  Y.     What

years.     Her  children  were  :     Abner,  b.  Dec.  6,  1793; 
Beulah,  b.  Oct.  12,  1795;  John  Milton,  b.  Oct.  26, 1797:

15,  1808,  (whose  son  William  R.  is  the  father  of  the 
present  writer)  and  two  others  who  died  young.    All 
the  children  married  and  had  numerous  descendents 
in  Connecticut, 
v.  Joseph,  bap.  Aug.  26,  1770;  m.  and  had  a  family,

d.  Aug.  20,  1815,  aged  80,  at  Hanover.  N.   H.     In   1758  he  grad- 
uated from  Yale  College,  receiving  the  degree  of  A.  M.  in   1762. 
He   was  licensed  to  preach   by  the  Hartford  South  Association 
Feb.  5,  1760,  when  he  is  described  as  "of  Windsor,  now  residing 
at    Andover."     Oct.    28,    1762    he   married    Hannah    Weld,    the 
seventh  daughter  in  a  family  of  fifteen  children  of  the   Rev. 
Habijah  (Harvard,  1723)  and  Mary  (Fox)  Weld  of  Attleborough, 
Mass.,   and   sister  of  the   wife  of  Rev.  Oliver  Noble  (Yale  1757) 
pastor  of  the  church  at  Coventry,  Ct.     Caleb  Fuller  seems  never 
to  have  been  a  settled  pastor,  though  doubtless  he  often  preached 
as  a  supply,  since  manuscript  sermons  of  his  are  now   in   posses- 
sion of  his  descendants.     From   1770  to  1777  he  resided  in  East 
Windsor,  Conn.,  removing  thence  to  Middletown,  Conn.,  and  from 
Middletown  in    1790  to   Hanover,   N.    H.,    perhaps    because    he 
desired  to  educate  his  son  at   Dartmouth   College.     At   Hanover 
he  was  Deacon  of  the  College  Church.     He  was  a  man  of  earnest

surgeon  with  a  captain's  rank.  His  case  of  surgical  instruments 
used  at  that  time,  are  still  preserved  by  his  descendants.  That 
he  was  an  army  surgeon  is  the  family  tradition,  but  I  have  been

NEW  YORK  GLEANINGS  IN  ENGLAND. 


Contributed  by  Lothrop  Withington,  London. 


It  is  with  much  pleasure  that  I  hope  to  contribute  from  time 
to  time  to  the  Record  these  Gleanings  from  the  English  archives 
concerning  New  York  families.  They  are  partly  suggested  by 
the  unpublished  collections  of  Mr.  Henry  Fitzgilbert  Waters, 
now  in  my  care,  and  partly  from  my  own  gatherings  in  the  past, 
and  to  these  skeleton  references  which  I  fill  in  for  publication  I 
hope  also  to  add  much  quite  new  notes  in  the  future  as  I  come 
across  New  York  matter  in  my  searches.  This  work  is  on  sim- 
ilar lines  to  my  contributions  to  various  other  historical  publi- 
cations of  our  original  Colonies.  For  a  particular  account  of  the 
work  of  Mr.  Waters  and  myself  here  in  England  see  the  Virginia 
Historical  Magazine  for  January,  1903,  page  291.  The  notes  of 
Mr.  Waters,  not  elsewhere  printed,  are  being  edited  by  me  for 
the  Genealogical  Quarterly  Magazine.  It  has  seemed  to  me  how- 
ever, most  appropriate  for  the  notes  of  Mr.  Waters  specially  re- 
ferring to  our  early  Colonies  to  be  issued  where  they  are  of  most 
interest.  This  plan  enables  me  to  add  as  much  as  possible  from 
our  own  work.

Ediloral,  Obituary.  [April 


EDITORIAL. 


Like  every  other  magazine  the  Record  wishes  to  increase  its  circulation; 
yet  unlike  many  others  its  motives  are  almost  entirely  unselfish.  There  are  no 
salaries  to  be  advanced,  and  any  surplus  which  might  attend  an  increase  of 
circulation  is  pledged  to  be  used  in  the  enlargement  of  the  periodical.  There 
remains,  accordingly,  on  the  side  of  selfish  considerations,  only  the  satisfac- 
tion of  seeing  the  magazine  prosper.  Why  should  not  the  members  of  the 
Publication  Committee  covet  this  gratification?  We  wish  that  this  personal 
appeal  could  be  heeded  by  those  who  are  members  of  our  genealogical 
society,  and  by  all  others  who  are  able  to  appreciate  the  work  which  the 
Record  is  doing. 

It  is  evident  that  such  a  periodical  as  this  must  have  a  restrictive  field  and 
can  appeal  for  subscribers  only  to  the  cultured,  the  public-spirited  and  the 
substantial,  classes.  As  the  spirit  of  commercialism  increases  and  the  popu- 
lation becomes  more  and  more  hoterogeneous,  it  devolves  upon  these  classes 
to  lend  increasing  support  to  the  maintenance  of  the  things  which  foster  the 
spirit  of  patriotism  and  the  higher  elements  of  civilization.  Of  these  the  study 
of  genealogy  and  biography,  as  well  as  the  preservation  of  the  records  of  fam- 
ilies and  individuals,  are  not  the  least  important,  and  these  are  the  objects 
which  this  magazine  seeks  to  promote.  The  popular  periodicals  are  business 
enterprises  whose  mission  is  to  entertain,  and  readers  subscribe  to  them  in 
order  to  be  entertained.  But  the  mission  of  the  Record  is  not  a  commercial 
one;  it  does  not  aim  to  amuse,  and  so  must  gather  its  subscribers  from  those 
who  do  not  seek  to  be  amused,  but  who  support  it  either  for  the  sake  of  the  in- 
formation it  contains,  or  from  sympathy  with  its  mission. 

The  members  of  the  Publication  Committee,  who  serve  entirely  without 
compensation,  simply  ask  in  return  subscriptions  from  those  who  are  interested 
in  the  matter  contained  in  the  Record  and  from  those  who  are  in  sympathy 
with  its  purposes. 


OBITUARY. 


Dyer,  Cornelia  C.  Joy,  a  life  member  of  this  Society,  died  Dec.  19, 
1903,  at  her  residence  in  New  York  City,  aged  eighty-six  years.  She  was  born 
June  19,  1817,  at  Ovid,  N.  Y.,  and  was  the  daughter  of  Arad  Joy  and  Catherine

of  181 2;  his  father,  David,  was  a  soldier  in  the  Revolution  and  the  son  of  David 
Joy  of  Guilford,  Vt.,  by  his  wife  Elizabeth  Allen;  grandson  of  David  Joy  of 
Rehoboth,  Mass.,  and  great-grandson  of  Joseph  Joy  of  Hingham,  Mass.,  and 
Ruth  Andrews;  who  was  the  son  of  Ensign  Joseph  joy  of  Hingham,  and  grand- 
son of  Thomas  Joy  who  came  from  England  and  settled  at  Hingham,  where  he

clined the  office. 

Mrs.  Dyer  was  a  woman  of  strong  literary  tastes  and  her  acquaintance 
with  the  ladies  of  the  Episcopal  Church  was  extensive.  Her  sympathies  were 
specially  drawn  in  the  direction  of  her  eminent  husband's  activities,  and  the 
aid  which  she  afforded  him  was  considerable.  She  was  a  charter  member  of 
the  Ladies  Christian  Union,  founded  in  185 1,  one  of  the  first  societies  in  New 
York  to  aid  self-supporting  women.  She  was  also  a  life  member  of  the  New 
York  Genealogical  and  Biographical  Society  and  a  member  of  the  New  York 
City  Star  Chapter  of  the  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution.  Her  contri- 
bution to  Literature  was  Sunny  Days  Abroad ;  or  the   Old    World  Seen  with

cals, and  was  the  editor  of  the  Preacher's  Magazine.  He  received  the  honor-

Dr.  Ketcham  "was  a  man  preeminently  modest  and  humble."  "His 
spirituality,  refinement  and  gentleness  profoundly  impressed  all  who  came 
under  his  benign  influence.  He  was  lovable  and  beloved.  By  what  he  was  as 
well  as  by  his  voice  and  pen  he  made  his  brother  men  more  Christlike."  "  In 
the  pulpit  and  out  of  it  he  was  the  Christian  gentlemen  seeking  the  welfare  of

140  Obituary.  [April, 

Whitney,  William  Collins,  life  member  of  this  Society,  died  Feb.  2, 
1904,  at  his  residence,  871  Fifth  Avenue,  New  York  City,  aged  sixty-two  years. 
He  was  born  July  5,  1841,  at  Conway,  Franklin  County,  Mass.,  and  was  the  son 
of  Gen.  James  Scollay  Whitney  and  Laurinda  Collins,  daughter  of  William 
Collins.  His  father  was  one  of  the  most  prominent  Democrats  of  Massachu- 
setts ;  was  Superintendent  of  the  Springfield  Armory  under  President  Pierce, 
and  Collector  of  the  Port  of  Boston  under  President  Buchanan,  and  a  successful 
man  of  affairs.  His  grandfather,  Stephen  Whitney,  of  Conway,  Mass.,  was 
the  son  of  Josiah  Whitney  and  grandson  of  Gen.  Josiah  Whitney,  of  Harvard, 
Mass.,  a  colonel  in  the  Revolutionary  army.  The  latter  was  the  fifth  in 
descent  (  Richard,  Richard,  Richard,  John)  from  John  Whitney  who  came  from 
London  in  1635  to  Watertown,  Mass.,  where  he  was  selectman,  town  clerk  and 
a  man  of  property.  On  his  mother's  side  he  was  descended  from  Governor 
William  Bradford,  of  Plymouth  Colony. 

Mr.  Whitney  prepared  for  college  at  Williston  Seminary,  Easthampton, 
Mass.;  was  graduated  from  Yale  in  1863  and  from  the  Harvard  Law  School  in 
1865.  The  same  year  he  came  to  New  York  and  entered  the  law  office  of 
Abraham  R.  Lawrence,  afterward  Judge  of  the  Supreme  Court.  The  Tweed 
ring  was  then  in  control  of  the  city  and  Mr.  Whitney  joined  the  forces  which 
were  fighting  it.  In  1871,  together  with  Peter  B.  Olney,  Henry  Havemeyer  and 
others,  he  founded  the  Young  Men's  Democratic  Club  of  New  York,  whose 
members  attracted  the  attention  of  Samuel  J.  Tilden  and  became  famous  as  his 
"boys."  He  was  one  of  the  organizers  and  leaders  of  the  County  Democracy, 
and  in  1874  actively  engaged  in  the  campaign  which  resulted  in  the  election  of 
Mr.  Tilden  as  Governor  of  the  State  and  Wm.  H.  Wickham  as  Mayor  of  the 
City  of  New  York.  The  latter  appointed  Mr.  Whitney  to  the  responsible 
office  of  Corporation  Counsel.  It  was  in  this  position  that  he  first  exhibited 
that  remarkable  ability  which  brought  him  later  such  high  honors.  He  found 
the  office  demoralized  and  inefficient.  The  city's  interests  were  ill-defended 
and  suits  were  pending  involving  fifteen  or  twenty  millions  of  dollars.  He 
called  about  him  a  group  of  young  men  and  inspired  them  with  his  own 
example.  System  succeeded  disorder  ;  suits  were  ably  and  successfully  tried, 
and  the  city  was  saved  many  millions. 

Returning  in  1882  to  private  practice  Mr.  Whitney  became  counsel  to  a 
number  of  corporations.  But  his  interest  in  politics  was  as  keen  as  ever  and  he 
threw  himself  with  his  characteristic  vigor  and  skill  for  organization  into  the 
Blaine-Cleveland  campaign  of  1884.  The  day  after  President  Cleveland's 
inauguration  he  was  called  into  the  cabinet  as  Secretary  of  the  Navy.  Here 
his  genius  for  the  management  of  great  enterprises  found  an  adequate  field 
and  showed  to  signal  advantage.  The  navy  of  the  United  States  at  that  period 
was  about  equal  to  that  of  Portugal.  Except  for  the  Chicago,  the  Atlanta  and 
the  Dolphin,  it  was  merely  a  collection  of  antiquated  ships.  When  he  left  the 
office  in  1889  thirteen  modern  ships  of  war  had  been  built  and  nine  others  were 
under  construction.  The  new  navy  was  an  accomplished  fact  and  the  work 
for  its  betterment  then  begun  has  never  ceased. 

His  term  of  office  having  expired  Mr.  Whitney  returned  to  New  York  to 
carry  out  a  plan  which  he  had  formed  for  uniting  the  several  surface  railroads 
of  that  city.  The  cars  were  then  drawn  by  horses.  Acquiring  control  of  many 
independent  lines  he  consolidated  them  together,  forming  the  corporation 
known  as  the  Metropolitan  Street  Railway  Company.  In  1892  there  was 
another  Presidential  election  and  Mr.  Whitney,  though  himself  the  choice  of 
many  influential  Democrats,  devoted  himself  with  ardor  to  the  fortunes  of  his 
former  chief.  It  was  largely  due  to  his  skill  and  influence  that  Mr.  Cleveland 
received  the  nomination  and  was  elected  President  for  a  second  term.  In  1896 
he  went  to  the  Democratic  convention  at  Chicago  as  a  delegate  and  led  the 
unsuccessful  fight  to  maintain  the  gold  standard,  but  Mr.  Bryan  was  nominated 
upon  a  silver  platform.  When  asked  whether  he  would  support  the  ticket 
nominated,  Mr.  Whitney  boldly  replied:  "There  are  no  possible  conditions  or 
circumstances  that  would  induce  me  to  vote  for  it,  or  assist  it."  He  was  never 
afterward  active  in  public  affairs.  For  the  last  three  years  of  his  life  he  lived 
retired  from  business  as  far  as  possible,  enjoying  his  well  earned  leisure.  His 
sudden  and  untimely  death  caused  universal  sorrow,  and  called  forth  unusual 
expressions  of  grief  and  words  of  praise  from  bis  fellow-countrymen.

SOCIETY  PROCEEDINGS 

Summary  of  Reports 

of  the  Officers  and  Committees  made  at  the  Annual 

Meeting,  Jan.  8th,  1904. 


The  Society  has  cause  to  congratulate  itself  on  its  progress  and  prosperity 
during  the  past  year. 

The  following  gentlemen  were  elected  as  Trustees  for  the  Term  1904-1907: 
Thomas  drier  Kvans,  George  Austin  Morrison,  Jr.,  James  Stokes. 

Secretary  Drowne  reported  a  total  membership  of  415,  being  composed  of 
291  Annual,  1 15  Life  and  9  Honorary,  showing  a  loss  from  the  previous  year  of 
25  names. 

The  additions  to  the  roll  for  1903  consist  of  12  Annual  and  2  Life  Mem- 
bers.    10  Members  died  during  the  year  of  whom  3  were  Life  Members. 

Seven  meetings  have  been  held  at  which  interesting  papers  were  read  and 
the  attendance  has  as  a  rule  been  both  large  and  satisfactory. 

The  papers  read  have  also  been  unusually  interesting.  These  meetings 
are  designed  for  the  entertainment  of  the  Members  and  their  friends,  rather 
than  for  discussion  of  topics  relevant  to  the  work  of  this  Society. 

In  lanuary,  Hon.  Isaac  Townsend  Smith  read  a  paper  on  "  Capt.  John 
Underbill  and  Marquis  Townsend:  their  place  in  History." 

In  February,  Mr.  Ripley  Hitchcock  delivered  an  address  on  "Pioneer 
Types  of  Western  History." 

In  March,  Miss  Ida  M.  Tarbell  read  a  paper  entitled  "The  Ancestry  and 
Early  Life  of  Abraham  Lincoln,"  illustrated  with  stereopticon  views. 

In  April,  Professor  Edwin  A.  Grosvenor,  of  Amherst  College,  read  a  paper 
entitled  "An  old  New  England  Town." 

In  May,  Mr.  William  Winter  spoke  on  "Joseph  Jefferson  and  other 
Comedians." 

In  November,  Mr.  Oliver  Bainbridge,  the  traveller,  made  an  address, 
subject:  "  A  Ramble  through  the  South  Sr.is." 

In  December,  Mr.  W.  I.  Scandlin  closed  the  year  with  an  illustrated  lec- 
ture on  "  Heroes  of  the  Sea — The  United  States  Life  Saving  Service." 

The  Proceedings  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  which  more  particularly  inter- 
est the  members  were  as  follows:  The  resignations  of  Mr.  B.  W.  Pierson  and 
Mr.  Herbert  D  Lloyd  as  members  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  and  of  the  Execu- 
tive Committee  were  accepted  and  Mr.  George  Austin  Morrison,  Jr.,  was 
elected  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  and  Mr.  John  Reynolds  Totten  and 
Mr.  William  Bunker  members  of  the  Executive  Committee  to  serve  out  the 
unexpired  terms. 


142  Society  Proceedings.  [April, 

The  mortgage  of  $5000.00  on  the  building  was  paid  off,  $1000.00  being  bor- 
rowed temporarily  on  a  note  to  complete  the  needed  sum. 

The  Treasurer,  Mr.  Gibson,  reported  the  net  assets  of  the  Society,  $59,- 
944.51,  being  an  increase  over  the  preceeding  year  of  $2,504.34.  Cash  balance 
on  hand  Jan.  1,  1904,  $107.81.  Receipts  from  Annual  Dues,  $1,535.00,  and  from 
Rentals,  $2,547.75. 

The  Librarian,  Mr.  Tompkins,  reported  additions  to  the  Library  of  148 
bound  volumes,  169  pamphlets,  13  charts  and  5  miscellaneous.  The  whole 
number  of  books,  pamphlets  and  charts  is  now  11,450.  1573  persons  visited 
the  Library  during  the  year.  Reference  was  made  to  the  resignation  of  the 
Assistant  Librarian,  Mrs.  Manning,  and  the  securing  of  the  services  of  Mrs. 
F.  E.  Youngs  in  her  place. 

The  report  of  the  Historian,  Dr.  William  Gray  Schauffler  called  particular 
attention  to  important  and  valuable  contributions  received  from  Dr.  William 
Austin  Macy,  of  Willard,  N.  Y. 

The  Necrologist,  Dr.  Dwight,  read  appropriate  obituary  notices  of  the  fol- 
lowing persons:  Mrs.  Emily  Warren  Roebling,  Mrs.  Mary  Wright  Wooton, 
Edward  Herbert  Noyes,  Daniel  Hoagland  Carpenter,  Sylvanus  Jenkins  Macy, 
George  West  Van  Siclen,  William  Earl  Dodge,  John  Gelston  Floyd,  Andrew 
Haswell  Green,  David  Bradley  Lee,  Mrs.  Cornelia  C.  Joy  Dyer  and  Rev.  Wil- 
liam Ezra  Ketcham. 

The  report  of  the  Registrar  of  Pedigrees,  Mr.  Fitch,  stated  that  19  pedi- 
grees had  been  handed  in  and  urged  that  all  members  who  had  not  filed 
records  should  do  so,  or  if  already  published,  indicate  where  their  pedigrees 
may  be  found. 

The  Executive  Committee,  Mr.  George  Austin  Morrison,  Jr.,  Chairman, 
reported  the  general  condition  of  the  property  improved,  the  building  kept  in 
good  repair  and  a  net  gain  in  rentals  over  1002  of  $204.50.  The  sales  of  the 
Dutch  Church  Baptismal  Records  have  reached  a  very  gratifying  amount.  It 
was  suggested  that  $500.00  be  appropriated  annually  for  desirable  acquisitions 
to  the  Library  as  soon  as  the  Society  shall  be  free  from  debt.  Also  that  the 
question  of  increasing  the  membership  should  receive  serious  consideration 
and  that  strong  and  earnest  efforts  should  be  made  in  this  direction  in  order  to 
further  advance  the  good  work  of  the  Society. 

The  Publication  Committee,  Dr.  Dwight,  Chairman,  reported  that  the 
Record  has  been  so  enlarged  that  its  yearly  issue  now  numbers  338  instead  of 
283  pages;  also  called  attention  to  interesting  and  important  features  of  the 
Record  during  1903.  It  was  stated  that  the  Recordhad  not  quite  paid  for  itself, 
as  in  1902,  it  having  cost  $1,306.00  to  print  and  the  receipts  having  been  $770.00 
from  subscriptions  and  $392.00  from  back  numbers,  leaving  a  deficit  of  $143.00; 
that  the  increase  of  subscription  price  from  $2.00  to  S3.00  had  been  more  than 
offset  by  the  increased  cost  of  the  larger  publication,  but  that  with  determined 
efforts  to  increase  the  list  of  subscribers  this  most  important  and  advantageous 
work  of  the  Society  could  be  financially  successful. 


At  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  held  Jan.   12th,  1904,  the  following 
)tificers  and  committees  were  elected: 

President,  Thomas  Grier  Evans.

NOTE. 

Mr.  Editor:  We  have  received  the  Genealogical  and  Biographical 
RecorJ.axvl  thank  you  for  the  article  and  portrait  it  contains.  I  would  like  to 
correct  one  mistake  however,  regarding  my  father's  ancestry — (he  was  not  al- 
together of  Holland  descent).  His  grandmother  was  Barbara  Wood,  a  lineal 
descendant  of  John  Jenny  and  Sarah  Carey  (Pilgrims  strictlv),  who  were  mar- 
ried at  Leyden,  Nov.  nth,  1614,  and  came  to  Plymouth,  Mass.,  in  the  Little 
James,  1623.     Dr.  Cole  was  married  in  1844,  not  1884.

Overing-Auchmuty.  This  illustration  is  a 
drawing  made  from  an  ancient  heraldic  painting 
now  in  possession  of  a  descendant  of  John  Over- 
ing,  Esq.,  of  Boston,  who  was  Attorney-General 
of  the  Province  of  Massachusetts  at  intervals 
during  the  period  from  1722  to  1747,  and  died  24 
Nov.,  1748,  aged  54. 

Captain  Henry  Overing  his  grandson  was  an 
officer  in  the  English  army  ;  he  lived  at  one  time 
in  Newport,  R.  I.,  and  afterward  in  New  York 
City;  he  married,  II  Aug.,  1795,  Charlotte,  the 
daughter  of  James  Desbrosses  and  had  issue,  two 
sons  and  a  daughter.  Captain  Overing  died  in 
New  York  City,  17  Aug.,  1836,  and  was  buried  in 
Trinity  churchyard. 

His  grandson,  now  living,  is  the  owner  of  the 
heraldic  painting;  the  blazon  is: — Argent  a  chev- 
ron azure,  between  three  eagle's  heads  erased  sable,  impaling  gules  a  spear  or 
bendwise,  bet-ween  two  spur  rowels  of  six  points  or.  The  silk  on  winch  the 
arms  are  painted  gives  every  indication  of  age,  being  torn  and  stained  and  the 
tinctures  faded. 

The  coat  armor  on  the  sinister  half  of  the  shield  is  doubtless  that  of  Auch- 
muty  as  given  in  Papworth's  Ordinary.  The  arms  on  the  dexter  half  are 
presumably  those  of  Overing,  though  it  is  a  curious  fact  that  no  mention  of  the 
name  is  made  in  the  books  on  English  heraldry  to  which  the  writer  has  had 
access. 

If  any  reader  can  give  information  relating  to  the  pedigree  and  arms  of 
the  Overing  family  in  England,  he  will  confer  a  favor  by  communicating  the 
particulars  to  this  Magazine. 

It  may  be  added  that  the  owner  of  the  painting  also  possesses  a  seal,  in- 
herited from  Capt.  Henry  Overing,  bearing  the  arms: — Argent,  a  chevron 
azure  between  three  griffin ' s  heads  erased,  impaling  gules  a  spear  bendwise 
between  two  spur  rowels  of  six  points.    Crest: — A  griffin's  head  erased. 

John  Overing  the  Attorney-General,  is  said  to  have  come'to  Boston  about 
1720;  he  married  Elizabeth,  the  daughter  of  Mr.  Williams  of  London,  whose 
wife  was  Anne  Furness,  of  the  family  of  Sir  Henry  Furness  of  Waldershare, 
Co.  Kent.  John  Overing's  second  wife  was  Henrietta,  daughter  of  Robert 
Auchmuty,  of  Boston,  Judge  of  the  Admiralty;  this  would  seem  to  explain  the 
impaling  of  the  Auchmuty  arms. 

Readers  desiring  further  information  should  consult  Hudson's  History  of 
Lexington,  Mass.,  the  A'.  E.  Register,  vols.  12,  30  and  57,  Arnold's  Vital

History  of  the  Penrose  Family  of  Philadelphia.  Josiah  Gran- 
ville I. each,  LL.  B.  Philadelphia.  Published  for  private  circulation  by 
Drexel  Biddle,  Publisher.     1903.     8vo,  cloth,  pp.  163.     Price  $10.00. 

This  is  the  history  of  Bartholomew  Penrose  and  his  descendants.  The 
American  founder  of  the  line  was  undoubtedly  of  Cornish  stock,  and,  prior  to 
his  arrival  in  Philadelphia,  resided  at  Bristol,  England,  where  he  was  engaged, 
with  his  brother  Thomas,  in  ship-building.  He  arrived  in  Philadelphia  about 
1700,  ami  about  1706  began  the  construction  of  the  ship  "  Diligence,"  in  which 
VVilliam  Penn,  James  Logan  and  William  Trent  were  interested,  and  of 
which  Mr.  Penrose  became  master.  He  did  not  long  survive  his  arrival  in 
America,  but  died  in  171 1,  leaving  four  children,  and  is  buried  in  the  ground  of 
Christ  Church,  with  which  parish  his  family  long  remained  identified.  The 
handsome  volume  before  us  presents  many  records  of  famous  Philadelphia 
families  who  intermarried  with  the  Penrose  line.  The  footnotes  trace  the 
wives'  pedigrees  and  furnish  many  other  genealogical  items  of  value.  The 
book  is  well  bound,  printed  on  fine  paper,  and  has  many  family  portraits  of 
historic  interest,  besides  other  illustrations,  including  a  fine  representation  in 
color  of  the  Penrose  coat  of  arms.

This  genealogy,  although  not  of  recent  date,  has  just  been  presented  to 
the  Society  and  is  so  good  that  we  are  glad  to  call  attention  to  it.  It  traces  the 
families  of  Rev.  Joseph,  Thomas,  William,  John,  Elijah,  Thomas,  Isaac  and 
Richard  Estabrook,  whose  surnames  are  spelled  differently  and  are  separately 
indexed.  There  is  an  appendix  with  extracts  from  English  records  and  there 
are  several  illustrations.

This  family  record  begins  with  an  account  of  Dea.  Thomas  Hastings  of 
Watertown,  who  arrived  there  in  1634.  The  work  is  divided  into  chapters, 
dealing  thus  with  important  branches.  A  most  touching  and  beautiful  custom 
is  established  in  the  Family  Covenant  of  Dr.  Seth  Hastings,  Sr  ,  on  page  21, 
which  is  too  long  for  quotation.  The  various  appendices  contain  matter  of 
interest,  especially  the  second,  which  presents  a  Colonial  love  letter.

This  monograph  on  the  Eells  family  is  divided  into  five  sections.  That  on 
the  Eells  family  in  England  covers  93  pages  and  contains  abstracts  of  parish 
registers,  wills  and  administrations,  close  rolls,  chancery  proceedings  and  sub- 
sidy rolls.  The  other  headings  are :  The  Eells  family  in  America,  the 
Lenthall  family,  index  to  English  notes,  and  index  to  American  notes.  The 
volume  contains,  therefore,  all  available  information  on  the  ancestry  and  des- 
cendants of  Samuel  Eells,  son  of  the  first  American  forefather,  and  Samuel's 
wife,  Anna  Lenthall.  The  American  index  is  particularly  fine,  identifying 
persons  by  the  year  of  birth,  and  in  the  case  of  women,  the  maiden  name  is 
given  in  parenthesis  and  the  married  name  in  italics.  The  fact  of  this  book 
being  compiled  under  the  auspices  of  Mr.  Goodwin  places  it  at  once  among 
the  standard  genealogies.

This  record  covers  an  important  period  of  Boston  history,  and  continues

This  is  a  pleasant  account  of  a  family  reunion,  with  a  summary  of  the 
events  of  fifty  years.  The  pamphlet  also  contains  ancestral  charts  of  William 
Armstrong  Jessup  and  Mary  Jane  Van  Duzer,  his  wife,  and  a  sketch  of  Daniel

This  Ohio  Chapter  has  set  a  fine  example  to  its  fellows  in  thus  perpetu-

stamped  in  white  on  the  front  cover,  and  white  lettering.  There  are  several 
excellent  illustrations.

No  adequate  history  of  this  interesting  town  having  being  written,  andi 
because  of  newspaper  publicity,  a  considerable  amount  of  fiction  having  been 
disseminated,  the  Moravian  Society  has  taken  from  its  records  and  here  pre- 
sented to  us,  a  notable  volume.  Teeming  with  incident,  the  narrative  tells  of 
life-long  misunderstanding  and  persecution,  which  only  served  to  intensify 
community  feeling  and  characteristics.  In  its  dealings  with  the  outer  world, 
the  community  came  in  contact  with  most  of  the  noted  men  of  the  day,  of 
whom  many  interesting  facts  are  told.  The  book  is  valuable  for  reference  for 
its  lists  of  members,  with  biographical  sketches,  its  old  maps,  its  many  por- 
traits and  its  triple  index.

Two  hundred  and  fifty  years  ago  a  few  English  emigrants  from  New  Eng- 
land settled  on  Long  Island,  calling  their  new  home  Middleburg,  for  it  was  not 
named  Newtown  until  1665.  They  were  from  Greenwich,  Stamford,  Fairfield 
and  other  villages  along  the  Connecticut  shore,  from  Boston  and  Salem,  Mass., 
and  from  Hempstead,  L.  I.  Among  them  was  the  Rev.  John  Moore,  a  Presby- 
terian minister  from  Hempstead,  who,  with  his  flock,  founded  the  religious 
body  whose  anniversary  is  thus  commemorated.  Supplementary  to  the  nar- 
rative history  are  lists  of  ministers,  elders  and  members  which  are  useful 
material  for  genealogists.     The  book  is  well  illustrated.

"  It  has  become  tradition  that  no  Park  was  ever  convicted  of  a  crime,  or  ever 
held  a  public  office."  There  is  a  good  triple  index,  the  Park,  identifying  per- 
sons by  dates;  Park  descendants  of  other  names;  and  Park  consorts.

It  is  a  far  cry  from  chained-up  books  to  free  circulating  libraries.  Some- 
where between  the  two  appears  the  Book-Plate,  like  a  beneficent  fairy, 
protecting  the  interests  of  both.  The  Book-Plate  has  its  castes.  Between  the 
knightly  emblem,  bearing  its  coat  of  arms,  and  the  plain  and  uncompromising 
"Steal  not  this  book  my  honest  friend,  for  fear  the  gallows  will  be  your  end," 
are  many  degrees  of  rank.  This  handbook  treats  of  special  examples  of  these, 
as  well  as  of  book-plate  artists,  societies,  collections  and  other  cognate  matters. 
It  is  a  beautiful  book,  a  delight  to  eye  and  hand,  from  its  wisteria-hung  sign  on 
the  cover,  to  its  last  compact,  clear,  fascinating  page.  In  its  typography  and 
press-work,  the  book  is  Miss  Dixon's  craft  work,  and  she  may  feel  justly  proud

Beginning  with  a  general  outline  of  explorations  and  settlements  in  Vir-

most  thorough  and  satisfactory  way  to  develop  the  history  of  a  section  of  that 
great  State  which  should  be  better  known  than  has  hitherto  been  the  case. 
The  book  is  written  in  an  easy  and  interesting  style,  and  contains  lists  of  set- 
tlers, with  date,  name  and  area  of  their  lands;  rosters  of  troops;  maps;  returns 
of  killed  and  wounded  in  battle;  electoral  tickets  and  names  of  electors;  civil 
lists;  surveyors'  records;  biographical  sketches,  and  much  other  valuable  mat-

obtainable,  and  leaving  the  reader  to  choose  for  himself  out  of  this  storehouse 
what  he  will  use.     The  book  is  worth  more  than  the  advertised  price.

pastor  of  the  church  he  founded,  and  died  in  1812.  The  book  has  an  interest- 
ing preliminary  account  of  the  family,  past  and  present,  illustrated  by  numer- 
ous cuts.  The  genealogical  pages  alone  are  numbered.  In  them  the  names  are 
printed,  but  the  dates  and  other  facts  are  all  in  manuscript,  beautifully  done,

and  so  evidently  a  labor  of  love,  that  one  guesses  at  the  spirit  which  sustained 
the  writer  through  many  laborious  hours.  The  system  used  is,  that  families  or 
individuals  whose  record  is  concluded  are  closely  grouped  and  marked  (X),  all 
having  their  generation  indicated  by  Roman  numbers.  References  are  made 
from  the  parent  families  by  succeeding  page  numbers,  counting  forward  only.

This  excellent  handbook  is  unique  in  its  particular  field,  and  contains  the 
arms  of  more  than  one  thousand  families,  with  the  full  name  of  the  first  of  the 
family  in  America;  the  date  of  his  arrival  and  the  place  of  settlement,  and,  in 
the  majority  of  instances,  the  town  or  county  from  whence  he  came.  The  Reg- 
istry is  about  to  be  issued  in  a  second  edition,  with  the  addition  of  over  five 
hundred  names,  and  will  be  ready  April  15th.

Arnold's  Expedition  to  Quebec.  By  John  Codman,  2nd.  Special 
edition  with  added  matter  and  Illustrations.  Edited  by  William  Abbatt.  Pub- 
lished for  William  Abbatt,  281  Fourth  Avenue,  New  York,  by  The  Macmillan 
Company.     1903.     Quarto,  cloth,  pp.  xvi-f-371.     Price,  $7.50. 

It  is  easy  to  be  wise  after  the  event,  and  nothing  is  more  tempting  or  more 
futile  than  to  point  out  what  might  have  been.  If  our  forefathers  had  had 
more  toleration,  and  had  conciliated  the  French  habitants  of  Canada;  if  the 
Canadians  had  been  willing  to  throw  off  their  yoke  of  oppression  instead  of 
waiting  for  these  colonies  to  do  it  for  them,  the  War  for  Independence  might 
never  have  happened.  England  would  hardly  face  a  continent  in  arms.  But 
it  was  no  time  for  patience  and  clear  sight  in  the  noise  and  dust  of  debate  as  to 
whether  we  dare  defy  the  stern  mother  of  our  land.  So  we  struck  Canada  in- 
stead of  embracing  her;  and  who  so  fit  a  leader  for  this  dramatic  venture  as 
Benedict  Arnold  ?  Daring,  seif-confident,  energetic,  popular,  this  brilliant 
captain  inspired  his  men;  and  what  they  braved  and  suffered  together,  from  the 
"Terrible  Carry"  to  the  end  of  the  siege,  needs  Mr.  Codman's  vivid  words  to 
tell.  This  author,  in  order  to  enter  into  his  tale  with  sympathy,  followed  the 
trail  of  the  army  on  foot  and  by  canoes,  picturing,  no  doubt,  the  quaint  old-time 
figures  toiling  before  him,  painfully  yet  sturdily  fronting  the  wildeness,  with 
its  manifold  dangers  and  sufferings  which  had  so  humiliating  an  end.  Mr. 
Codman's  life  was  sacrificed  as  a  result  of  the  hardships  and  exposure  of  this 
journey;  and,  so  dying,  he  leaves  a  significant  commentary  on  this  great  work 
of  his  life;  that  in  this  age,  as  in  that,  men  can  see  a  vision,  and  give  up  life 
itself  for  its  sake.

Silas  C.  Wheat.     Brooklyn,  I903.     8vo,  pamphlet,  pp.  122.     Price,  $2.00. 

This  author  has  used  a  clear  and  interesting  system  of  notation,  number- 
ing each  family  in  heavy-faced  type,  and  numbering  the  children  in  each  group 
beginning  with  I.  Each  child  in  founding  his  own  branch,  is  recognized  by  his 
father's  family  number  in  heavy-faced  type  followed  by  his  own  birth-number 
in  lighter  type.  Footnotes  are  headed  with  the  family  number  followed  by  let- 
ters of  the  alphabet.  The  wife's  line  is  given  in  most  instances,  as  the  author 
ascribes  the  variation  of  character  in  different  brandies  to  the  influence  of  the 
maternal  family.  The  work  is  well  illustrated  and  has  a  good  triple  index. 
The  second  volume,  tracing  an  unfinished  line  begun  in  Vol.  I,  will  shortly 
appear.

Chronicles  of  a  Pioneer  School  from  1792  to  1833.  Being  the 
History  of  Miss  Sarah  Pierce,  and  her  Litchfield  School.  Com- 
piled by  Emily  Noyes  Vanderpoel,  Vice-President  of  the  Litchfield  Historical 
Society.  Edited  by  Elizabeth  C.  Barney  Buel,  A.  B.  Printed  by  the  Univer- 
sity Press,  Cambridge,  Mass.  1003.  ovo,  cloth,  pp.  465.  65  illustrations. 
Price,  $3.50. 

Quaint,  charming,  breathing  the  atmosphere  of  lavender,  soft  rustlings  of 
muslin  and  little  sober  footfalls  sound  through  these  pages.  Their  gentle 
ghosts  tell  us,  mostly  in  capitals,  of  Rules  copied  by  the  Young  Ladies,  of  ele- 
vated little  dramatic  efforts,  of  journals  scrupulously  kept,  of  demure  festivi- 
ies  earned  by  good  conduct.  There  must  have  been  a  great  searching  of  old 
attics  on  rainy  days,  and  bringing  forth  of  old  treasures,  to  make  tins  book  the 
facinating  record  it  is  of  one  of  our  famous  early  schools.  The  old  school  reg- 
isters, with  their  remarks  opposite  the  pupils  names,  are  especially  valuable. 
The  illustrations  give  additional  life  and  zest  to  this  delightful  volume.  One 
lays  the  book  down  wishing  one's  great-grandmother  had  lived  in  Litchfield 
and  gone  to  Miss  Pierce's  school,  so  that  one  might  imagine  her  doing  all  the 
interesting  things  recorded  here.

WILLIAM  COLLINS  WHITNEY. 


Bv  James  Grant  Wilson. 


William  Collins  Whitney  (1841-1904),  like  so  many  others 
whose  names  will  be  indissolubly  associated  with  the  history  of 
the  City  of  New  York,  was  of  New  England  origin.  On  the 
paternal  side  he  was  descended  from  John  Whitney  who  came 
from  England  to  the  Massachusetts  Bay  Colony  in  1635,  and  on 
his  mother's  side  could  trace  his  descent  from  Governor  William 
Bradford  of  the  Plymouth  Colony.  In  him  met,  therefore,  the 
somewhat  differing  traits  of  Puritan  and  Pilgrim.  He  was  born 
July  5th,  1841,  in  Conway,  Franklin  County,  Massachusetts,  and 
was  the  son  of  James  Scollay  Whitney  and  Laurinda  Collins, 
daughter  of  William  Collins,  after  whom  he  was  named.  On  the 
father's  side  he  came  from  an  English  knightly  family  which  as 
early  as  the  thirteenth  century  was  established  at  Whitney  in 
Herefordshire,  from  which  estate  it  took  its  name.  Through  in- 
termarriage with  the  Baskervilles  and  Touchetts  the  Whitneys 
of  Whitney  were  descended  from  the  earls  of  Hereford  and  Kent, 
and  their  descendants  can  thus  claim  the  blood  of  some  of  those 
whose  names  are  familiar  in  early  English  history.  His  father 
was  one  of  the  most  prominent  and  influential  citizens  of  Mas- 
sachusetts and  was  at  one  period  the  leader  of  the  Massachusetts 
Democracy.  Under  President  Pierce  he  was  superintendent  of 
the  United  States  Arsenal  at  Springfield,  the  first  citizen  to  be 
appointed  to  that  responsible  office,  and  was  afterward  appointed 
by  President  Buchanan  collector  of  the  Port  of  Boston.  In  i860, 
he  was  delegate  at  large  to  the  Democratic  National  Convention 
which  met  at  Charleston,  S.  C,  and  in  1876  was  president  of  the 
state  convention  which  nominated  Charles  Francis  Adams  for 
Governor  of  Massachusetts.  In  early  life  he  took  an  active  part 
in  military  affairs  and  when  only  twenty-four  years  old  was  hon- 
ored with  a  commission  as  Brigadier-General  of  the  Second 
Brigade  of  the  Fourth  Division  of  the  Massachusetts'  Militia. 

Gen.  James  Scollay  Whitney  was  the  son  of  Stephen  Whitney 
of  South  Deerfield.  His  mother  was  Mary  A.  Burgess,  daughter 
of  Dr.  Benjamin  Burgess  of  Goshen,  Mass.  Her  sister  married 
Mitchell  Dawes  and  was  the  mother  of  Henry  L.  Dawes,  United

154  William  Collins   Whitney.  [July. 

States  Senator  from  Massachusetts.  Stephen  Whitney  was  the 
son  of  Josiah  Whitney  and  the  grandson  of  General  Josiah  Whit- 
ney, both  of  Harvard,  Mass.,  and  soldiers  of  the  Revolution. 
Gen.  Whitney,  whose  mother  was  Hannah  Whitcomb,  a  relative 
of  Col.  Asa  Whitcomb  of  Lancaster,  Mass.,  inherited  a  fondness 
for  military  affairs.  In  1755  he  marched  in  Col.  Whitcomb's  reg- 
iment against  the  French  and  Indians  and  was  in  the  bloody  bat- 
tle of  Lake  George,  Sept.  8,  1755,  when  Dieskau  at  the  head  of  a 
superior  force  was  signally  defeated  by  the  undisciplined  valor  of 
the  New  England  yeomanry  led  by  Gen.  Phineas  Lyman.  At 
the  outbreak  of  the  Revolution  he  was  appointed  Lieut. -Colonel 
of  the  regiment  commanded  by  Col.  Asa  Whitcomb  which  was 
the  largest  of  the  twenty-six  Massachusetts  regiments  at  the 
siege  of  Boston,  and  in  1777  he  became  Colonel  of  a  regiment 
raised  for  the  defence  of  Boston  harbor.  He  represented  Har- 
vard in  the  state  legislature  for  several  years  and  in  1788  was 
delegate  to  the  convention  held  in  Boston  for  the  purpose  of  rat- 
ifying the  Federal  Constitution.  Richard  Whitney  of  Harvard, 
the  father  of  Gen.  Whitney,  was  the  son  of  Richard  Whitney, 
who  was  the  son  of  another  of  the  same  name,  who  was  the  son 
of  John  Whitney  who  came  in  1635  from  London  to  New  Eng- 
land and  settled  at  Watertown,  Mass.,  where  he  was  selectman, 
town  clerk  and  a  man  of  property.  He  was  the  son  of  Thomas 
Whitney,  gentleman,  of  Westminster,  England,  son  of  Robert 
Whitney  and  grandson  of  Sir  Robert  Whitney  of  Whitney,  Here- 
fordshire, England,  by  his  wife  Sybil,  daughter  of  James  Basker- 
ville  of  Eardesley  in  Herefordshire.* 

Mr.  Whitney  prepared  for  college  at  Williston  Seminary, 
Easthampton,  Mass.,  and  entered  Yale  in  1859,  graduating  with 
honors  in  the  class  of  1863.  Among  his  classmates  was  William 
G.  Sumner,  afterward  Professor  Sumner  of  Yale  University,  and 
Oliver  Payne  of  Ohio.  Between  them  Whitney  and  Sumner 
shared  the  prize  for  English  essays,  but  in  the  election  for  class 
orator  the  former  was  successful  over  the  other.  In  the  autumn 
of  1863  he  entered  the  Harvard  Law  School  whence  he  was  grad- 
uated in  1865,  and  he  then  entered  the  law  office  of  Abraham  R. 
Lawrence  in  New  York  City.  In  his  profession  he  was  very  suc- 
cesssful,  speedily  acquiring  a  large  practice.  In  1869  he  was 
married  to  Miss  Flora  B.  Payne,  the  sister  of  his  college  friend, 
Payne,  and  two  years  later  began  to  concern  himself  actively  in 
politics.  William  M.  Tweed  was  then  at  the  height  of  his  power 
in  New  York,  and  Whitney,  joining  the  opposition  movement, 
was  the  chief  organizer  of  the  Young  Men's  Democratic  Club. 
His  efforts  brought  him  to  the  favorable  notice  of  Samuel  J. 
Tilden,  who  is  said  to  have  regarded  him  as  the  ablest  political 
protege"  he  ever  had.  The  organization  known  as  the  Apollo  Hall 
was  next  organized  by  Mr.  Whitney,  and  he  was  the  unsuccess- 
ful candidate  of  that  organization  for  District  Attorney  in  1872. 
He  then  became  prominent  as  a  leader  of  the  County  Democracy, 
was  appointed  inspector  of  schools,  and  took  an  active  part  in

the  campaign  of  1874,  the  result  of  which  was  the  electior. 
Tilden  as  Governor  and  Wickham  as  Mayor  of  New  York.  Mr. 
Whitney  was  appointed  Corporation  Counsel  by  Mayor  Wick- 
ham,  a  position  he  held  until  1882,  when  he  returned  to  his  priv- 
ate practise.  While  Corporation  Counsel  he  administered  affairs 
so  judiciously  as  to  save  the  City  some  ten  or  twelve  millions  of 
dollars.  As  a  result  of  the  Tweed  regime  about  3,800  suits  were 
pending  against  the  City,  fifteen  or  twenty  millions  being  thus 
involved.  Mr.  Whitney  succeeded  in  securing  a  discontinuance 
of  many  of  these  suits  and  compromised  others,  while  by  system- 
atizing the  work  of  his  office  a  saving  of  nearly  two  millions  was 
effected  the  first  year. 

After  returning  to  private  practice  he  became  counsel  to  var- 
ious important  corporations  and  soon  took  high  rank  as  a  cor- 
poration lawyer.  He  did  not,  however,  lose  his  interest  in  poli- 
tics, and  during  the  presidential  campaign  of  1884,  did  much  in 
the  way  of  organization  to  secure  the  election  of  Mr.  Cleveland. 
In  the  March  following  Mr.  Whitney  became  Secretary  of  the 
Navy  in  Mr.  Cleveland's  cabinet,  and  at  the  time  of  his  death 
many  careless  eulogists  credited  him  with  being  the  "  Father  of 
the  New  Navy,"  a  title  to  distinction  that  Mr.  Whitney  never 
claimed.  The  creation  of  the  new  navy  began  with  the  appoint- 
ment of  the  Naval  Advisory  Board  in  1881,  was  carried  on  by 
Secretaries  Hunt  and  Chandler,  and  continued  by  Mr.  Whitney, 
who  is  justly  entitled  to  a  portion  of  the  credit. 

By  the  act  of  Aug.  5,  1882,  Congress  authorized  the  construc- 
tion of  two  steam  steel  cruisers,  the  steel  to  be  of  domestic  man- 
ufacture. One  of  these  cruisers  was  to  have  between  5,000  and 
6,000  tons  displacement;  the  other  between  4,000  and  4,300  tons. 
No  appropriation  was  voted,  and  at  the  following  session  the 
building  programme  was  modified.  The  act  of  March  3,  1883, 
provided  for  the  construction  of  three  steel  cruisers— one  of  4,000 
tons,  two  of  about  2,500  tons  and  one  iron  dispatch  boat.  The 
ships  designed  and  built  under  this  act  were  the  Chicago,  the 
Boston,  the  Atlanta  and  the  Dolphin.  At  the  time  of  their  com- 
pletion the  Cleveland  administration  had  come  in,  and  as  ex-Sec- 
retary John  D.  Long  points  out  in  his  recently  published  volumes 
on  The  New  American  Navy,  one  of  the  least  creditable  acts  of 
that  administration  "  was  Its  unjust  depreciation  of  some  of  these 
ships — a  depreciation  which,  by  their  splendid  record  of  long  and 
efficient  service,  has  been  shown  to  be  utterly  unfounded  or 
founded  only  on  mistaken  partisanship." 

Leaving  this  aside,  Secretary  Whitney  in  his  four  years 
as  Secretary,  from  1885  to  1889,  played  a  conspicious  and 
effective  role  in  the  creation  of  our  modern  navy.  His  greatc-t 
achievement  was  the  negotiation  of  armor  plate  contracts  which 
made  possible  the  establishment  at  South  Bethlehem  of  a  domes- 
tic armor  plate  plant.  He  showed  a  keen,  practical  and  patriotic 
interest  in  the  work  he  was  charged  with  carrying  on.  He  en- 
larged and  improved  the  new  navy.     But  he  did  not  originate  it. 

On  the  expiration  of  his  term  in  the  cabinet,  Mr.  Whitney 
gave  himself  to  an  enterprise  he  had  had  for  some  time  in  mind — 


I  56  William  Collins   Whitney.  [July. 

the  consolidation  of  the  street  railways  of  Manhattan,  and  acquir- 
ing, with  others,  control  of  various  independent  roads,  he  estab- 
lished the  Metropolitan  Street  Railway  Company.  His  remark- 
able skill  as  an  organizer  displayed  in  other  fields  ere  this  was 
equally  apparent  in  the  present  enterprise,  and  a  brilliant  com- 
mercial success  followed  his  efforts.  His  estimates  of  men,  his 
quick  and  sound  decisions  and  his  ability  to  foresee  conditions 
stood  him  instead  as  much  in  business  enterprises  as  in  public 
office.  He  lost  no  time  in  waiting  for  opportunities — he  pre- 
ferred to  create  them. 

In  the  campaign  of  1892  Mr.  Whitney's  political  abilities  were 
brought  into  fullest  exercise.  He  was  himself  the  choice  for  the 
presidency  on  the  part  of  many  who  were  prominent  in  the  Dem- 
ocratic ranks,  and  it  is  quite  possible  that  he  might  have  been  the 
candidate  of  the  party  had  he  been  willing  to  accept  the  nom- 
ination. Two  opposite  conditions  however,  were  soon  discover- 
able in  the  Democratic  body,  the  one  a  desire  for  Mr.  Cleveland's 
renomination,  the  other  an  organized  opposition  against  him  in 
favor  af  another  presidential  possibility.  At  once  Mr.  Whitney 
laid  aside  all  personal  ambition  and  devoted  himself  with  a 
splendid  loyalty  to  the  cause  of  his  former  chief.  The  "  snap 
convention"  in  New  York,  as  it  was  termed,  had  by  this  time 
chosen  a  delegation  in  opposition  to  Mr.  Cleveland,  and  initial 
movements  looking  to  the  same  end  were  being  started  in  other 
states.  Mr.  Whitney  promptly  summoned  prominent  Demo- 
cratic leaders  from  his  own  and  other  states  to  a  private  confer- 
ence at  his  house  in  New  York.  No  report  of  the  doings  of  this 
conference  reached  the  public,  yet  it  is  known  that  at  this  meet- 
ing the  whole  work  of  the  forthcoming  Chicago  convention  was 
carefully  outlined,  and  each  man's  part  assigned  him,  no  details 
being  left  to  the  inspiration  of  the  moment.  At  the  convention 
itself  everything  fell  out  as  had  been  planned,  and  Mr.  Cleveland 
was  nominated  on  the  first  ballot  as  the  conference  had  prev- 
iously determined.  It  is  unnecessary  to  say  that  after  the  elec- 
tion of  Mr.  Cleveland  Mr.  Whitney  could  have  had  any  office 
within  the  gift  of  the  President-elect  that  he  wished,  but  satis- 
fied with  the  knowledge  that  he  had  led  his  party  to  victory,  he 
declined  all  offers  of  office  and  once  more  took  up  his  varied 
business  interests. 

The  close  of  the  campaign  of  1892  marks  the  retirement  of 
Mr.  Whitney  from  the  political  arena.  Yet  in  1896  he  consented 
to  become  a  delegate  to  the  Democratic  convention  in  Chicago 
and  exerted  all  the  influence  at  his  command  to  stem  the  free 
silver  tide  and  prevent  the  nomination  of  Mr.  Bryan.  His  dis- 
satisfaction with  the  platform  and  ticket  adopted  by  the  conven- 
tion was  very  freely  expressed.  When  asked  whether  he  would 
support  the  ticket  nominated,  he  boldly  replied:  "There  are  no 
possible  conditions  or  circumstances  that  would  induce  me  to 
vote  for  it  or  assist  it."  It  was  hoped  by  some  of  his  friends 
after  the  election  of  1900  that  he  might  consent  to  become  the 
presidential  candidate  of  a  reorganized  Democratic  party,  but  at 
Saratoga  in  Aug.,  1902,  he  announced  that  he  had  retired  from

all  politics,  saying:  "  I  will  never  again  be  a  candidate  for  a 
office  and  my  friends  may  as  well  understand  this  first  as  last.     I 
mean  what  I  say." 

One  of  the  latest  business  enterprises  in  which  Mr.  Whitney 
was  engaged  was  the  organization  of  the  New  York  Electric 
Light,  Heat  and  Power  Company,  with  a  capital  of  fifty  millio 
This  was  npt  accomplished  without  opposition  from  the  Consol- 
idated Gas  Company,  and  the  final  result  of  the  struggle  was  the 
acquirement  of  the  New  York  Electric  Light,  Heat  and  Power 
Company,  by  the  Consolidated  Gas  Company,  Mr.  Whitney  and 
several  of  his  associates  in  the  former  enterprise  now  becoming 
directors  in  the  consolidated  company.  In  1901,  upon  arriving 
at  his  sixtieth  birthday,  he  announced  his  intention  of  retiring 
from  business  in  order  to  spend  the  rest  of  his  days  in  the  pleas- 
ures of  leisure.  Few  men  possessed  ampler  equipment  for  the  en- 
joyment of  existence.  He  was  a  man  of  the  most  varied  interests, 
gifted  with  a  highly  cultivated  mind  and  the  capacity  for  attach- 
ing friends  most  firmly  to  him;  possessed  also  with  broad  and 
generous  sympathies,  and  a  fortune  beyond  the  dreams  of  avar:   1 

No  man  in  the  new  world  possessed  more  estates  than  Mr. 
Whitney.  Besides  his  palacial  mansion  on  Fifth  Avenue  he 
owned  a  country  seat  at  Roslyn,  Long  Island,  including  an  estate 
of  five  thousand  acres,  with  a  covered  race  track  and  what  have 
been  called  the  finest  training  stables  in  the  country.  In  the 
Berkshire  Hills  he  had  a  summer  home  with  seven  hundred  acres 
of  land  attached  to  it,  and  he  was  also  the  owner  of  October 
Mountain  at  Lenox,  comprising  ten  thausand  acres.  His  Adiron- 
dack game  preserve  included  sixteen  thousand  acres.  He  had  a 
farm  in  the  Kentucky  blue  grass  region  comprising  three  thous- 
and acres;  at  Aiken  he  owned  an  estate  of  two  thousand  acres 
with  a  house  and  race  course,  and  to  all  these  must  be  added  his 
lodge  at  Blue  Mountain  Lake  with  a  golf  course,  and  his  shooting 
box  in  England.  The  October  Mountain  estate  and  the  Adiron- 
dack game  preserve  may  be  said  to  have  been  held  in  trust  for 
the  public  benefit.  His  ownership  of  the  former  secured  its  re- 
maining a  forest  tract  and  a  perpetual  delight  to  the  eye  from 
many  points  of  view  in  its  neighborhood,  while  his  still  larger 
Adirondack  estate  formed  a  factor  in  the  movement  to  preserve 
the  forests  in  northren  New  York  for  the  husbanding  of  the 
water  supply. 

Mr.  Whitney  was  eminently  social  in  his  nature  and  one  is  not 
surprised  to  find  that  he  belonged  to  the  Metropolitan,  Union, 
Knickerbocker,  Manhattan.  University,  Century,  New  York- 
Yacht,  Jockey,  Suburban  Riding  and  Driving,  and  Automobile 
Clubs,  as  well  as  to  the  Country  Club  of  Westchester.  He  was 
also  a  member  of  the  Mayflower,  the  New  England,  the  New 
York  Genealogical,  and  the  New  York  Zoological  Societies,  as 
well  as  of  the  American  Museum  of  Natural  History,  the  Metro- 
politan Museum  of  Art  and  the  Chamber  of  Commerce.  The 
breadth  of  his  sympathies  and  the  extent  of  his  interests  are  in- 
adequately indicated  by  this  list,  not  wholly  complete,  of  his 
estates  and  the  long  roll  of  clubs  and  societies  of  which  he  was  a 

I  IA 


158  William  Collins   Whitney.  [July, 

member.  They  serve  to  show  that  his  aspirations  were  not  lim- 
ited merely  to  the  acquiring  of  a  vast  fortune,  the  pursuit  of 
pleasure,  or  of  politics.  He  gave  a  due  proportion  of  his  atten- 
tion te  all,  but  entire  absorption  in  any  one  of  them  was  guarded 
against,  and,  we  believe,  would  have  been  for  him  impossible.  It 
is  not  given  every  man  to  achieve  a  well  rounded  career,  but  in 
Mr.  Whitney's  case  it  seems  to  have  been  accomplished.  It 
would  be  difficult  to  name  any  American  who  secured  more  out 
of  life  in  proportion  to  his  opportunities  and  abilities,  and  who 
made  at  the  same  time  adequate  return  to  society  and  to  his 
country. 

It  was  not  merely  as  a  man  of  wealth  that  he  was  so  gener- 
ally esteemed.  Not  a  few  of  his  contemporaries  possessed  for- 
tunes equal  in  amount  to  his  own,  and  there  were  some  whose 
fortunes  were  greater.  In  common  with  many  others  he  pos- 
sessed the'  instincts  which  lead  men  to  acquire,  but  these  were 
supplemented  and  tempered  by  the  more  gracious  qualities  which 
gathered  about  him  an  ever  widening  circle  of  devoted  friends, 
and  inspired  him  with  the  desire  to  promote  the  happiness  and 
success  of  those  with  whom  he  had  to  do. 

Said  ex-President  Cleveland,  on  hearing  of  the  death  of  his 
friend  and  former  Secretary  of  the  Navy:  "Mr.  Whitney  had 
more  calm,  forceful  efficiency  than  any  man  I  ever  knew.  In 
work  that  interested  him  he  actually  seemed  to  court  difficulties 
and  to  find  pleasure  and  exhilaration  in  overcoming  them.  His 
judgment  was  quick,  clear  and  astonishingly  acurate,  and  when 
it  was  called  into  action  his  mental  poise  was  so  complete  that 
neither  passion  nor  irritation  could  lead  it  astray."  These  are 
the  words  of  a  faithful  friend,  and  one  who  shared  the  same 
political  opinions,  but  men  who  differed  very  widely  from  Mr. 
Whitney  have  been  prompt  to  add  their  testimony  to  his  efficiency 
in  the  public  service.  In  the  course  of  a  speech  delivered  in  the 
United  States  Senate  on  Feb.  12,  1889,  his  political  opponent, 
Preston  B.  Plumb  of  Kansas,  paid  him  the  following  tribute,  as 
sincere  as  it  was  well  deserved: 

"  I  am  glad  to  say  in  the  closing  hours  of  Mr.  Whitney's  ad- 
ministration that  the  affairs  of  his  department  have  been  well 
administered.  They  have  been  well  administered  not  only  in  the 
sense  that  everything  has  been  honestly  and  faithfully  done,  but 
there  has  been  a  stimulous  given,  so  far  as  it  could  be  done  by 
executive  direction,  to  the  production  of  the  best  types  of  ships 
and  the  highest  form  of  manufacture,  and,  more  than  all  that,  to 
the  encouragement  of  the  inventive  genius  of  our  people  and  to 
the  performance  of  all  possible  work  not  in  navy-yards,  where 
they  might  be  most  surely  made  the  instrument  of  political 
strength,  but  in  private  shipyards  and  manufactories,  to  the 
effect  that  we  have  got  to-day  enlisted  in  this  good  work  of 
building  the  American  navy  not  only  the  navy  department  backed 
by  Congress,  but  we  have  got  the  keen  competition  of  American 
manufactories  and  the  inventive  genius  of  all  our  people,  so  that 
we  may  confidently  expect  not  only  the  best  results  but  great 
improvement  each  year.     I  am  glad  to  say  that  during  the  past 


1904O  Edward  Fuller  and  His  Descendants.  15c; 

four  years  the  navy  department  has  been  administered  in  a  prac- 
tical, level-headed,  judicious  way,  and  the  result  is  such  that  I 
am  prepared  to  believe  and  to  say  that  within  ten  years  we  shall 
have  the  best  navy  in  the  world." 

It  is  much  indeed  that  a  man's  friends  should  hasten  to  speak 
well  of  him,  for  their  praises  come  from  the  heart,  but  it  is  a  still 
greater  tribute  to  worth  when  those  who  did  not  call  themselves 
his  friends,  and  who  in  many  things  were  ranged  among  his  op- 
ponents, utter  their  sincere  commendations  also. 

Much  regret  has  been  expressed  by  many  prominent  men  thai 
Mr.  Whitney  abandoned  public  life,  for  which  he  was  so  admir- 
ably fitted,  and  should  have  devoted  his  great  powers  to  the  mere 
accumulation  of  wealth,  in  which  he  was  bewilderingly  successful. 
But  what  is  his  fame  compared  with  Cleveland's,  whose  successor 
he  might  have  been?  Whitney  could  deal  with  men  and  events 
He  had  the  force  and  temper,  and  he  knew  how.  His  public  ser- 
vices were  important  and  they  might,  had  he  been  so  minded, 
have  been  more  so.  But  he  abandoned  his  opportunities  of  pub- 
lic distinction  for  another  and  less  famous  field  of  activity — the 
acquisition  of  a  great  fortune.  He  made  millions — not  to  hoard, 
but  to  spend  freely  and  indeed  lavishly,  in  vast  estates,  in  prince- 
ly palaces,  in  superb  paintings  and  statues,  in  celebrated  horses 
and  herds  of  wild  animals.  He  was  also  a  generous  and  kind 
man.  In  well-considered  words  Mr.  Cleveland  speaks  of  Mr 
Whitney's  "devotion  to  his  friends,  his  extreme  consideration  for 
all  with  whom  he  came  in  contact,  his  thoughtfulness  for  the 
ease  and  comfort  of  others,  and  his  ready  impulse  to  help  those 
who  needed  help."  To  this  tribute  from  the  ex-President,  the 
present  writer  may  perhaps  be  permitted  to  add,  that  he  never 
sought  Mr.  Whitney's  assistance  in  behalf  of  any  worthy  object, 
that  it  was  not  given  promptly  and  generously.

Family  Record  of  Solomon  Drowne. 


171 


FAMILY  RECORD  OF  SOLOMON  DROWNE. 


Contributed  bv  Henry  R.  Drowne. 


This  interesting  family  record  is  published  to  correct  an 
error  that  has  been  made  in  the  Drowne  family  genealogy,  where- 
in Solomon  Drowne,  son  of  Leonard,  born  Jan.  23,  1681,  died  Oct. 
9,  1730,  married  Esther  Jones,  Nov.  8,  1705  (born  Aug.  18,  1687 
and  died  July  a6,  1744)  is  quoted  as  having  had  twelve  children. 
It  would  seem  that  the  Bristol  Registry  is  responsible  for  the 
error,  that  Solomon  Drowne  and  Esther  (or  Hester)  had  a  son 
Solomon,  born  Oct.  4,  1700,  and  also  a  son  Solomon,  born  Oct.  f, 
1706.  A  copy  made  from  this  Registry  about  a  century  ago  for 
Dr.  Solomon  Drowne  (of  the  Revolution)  reads  "Solomon 
Drowne,  son  of  Solomon  Drowne  and  Hester  his  wife  was  born 
at  one  of  the  clock  in  the  morning  of  Oct.  4,  1706"  (not  1700  as 
now  printed  in  the  Bristol  Registry)  and  contains  but  one  of 
these  entries  of  birth  in  connection  with  those  of  the  other  children. 
Furthermore  Solomon  and  Esther  were  not  married  until  1705. 

This  corrects  statement  published  on  p.  2 1 5  of  the  Record  under 
date  of  July,  1886,  and  shows  the  births  of  the  eleven  children. 

Verbatim  copy  of  the  original  which  was  written  on  both  sides 
of  a  long  strip  of  paper.

WEMPLE    GENEALOGY. 


Compiled  by  William  Barent  Wemple,  Jr. 


Although  in  the  records  relating  to  the  first  ancestor  of  this 
family  in  America  the  name  is  universally  written  "  Wemp," 
there  is  good  reason  for  believing  that  the  correct  form  was 
"  Wemple,"  as  used  at  the  present  day.  Commencing  with  the 
grandchildren  of  the  immigrant,  the  records  sometimes  speak  of 
the  same  person  as  "  Wemp"  and  at  others  as  "Wemple."  With 
the  next  generation  the  name  is  almost  always  written  "  Wemple." 
A  more  convincing  proof,  however,  is  a  very  old  silver  cup  which 
belonged  to  the  immigrant  and  now  in  the  possession  of  Mrs.  B. 
Lansing  Wagner,  Baltimore,  Md.,  which  bears  the  date  1657  and 
his  name  in  full  "Jan  Baerensen  Wimpel;"  the  change  of  the  e 
to  i  being  undoubtedly  due  to  an  error  on  the  part  of  the  en-

graver.  It  might  be  added  in  this  connection  that  the  surname 
"  Wiimpel,"  appears  in  Bavaria  as  early,  at  least,  as  1600. 

1  Barf.nt  Wemple,  was  the  father  of  Jan  Barentsen  Wemple 
who  was  the  founder  of  the  Wemple  family  in  America.  No 
knowledge  has  been  obtained  concerning  him  further  than  this 
simple  fact.     He  never  came  to  America.     Child: 

2  Jan  Barentsen,  b.  about  1620. 

2  Jan  Barentsen  Wemple,  b.  about  1620,  this  being  as 
near  as  can  now  be  ascertained.  He  came  to  America  about 
1645,  and  was  then  living  in  Rensselaerswyck  Colony,  his  name 
appearing  in  the  Van  Rensselaer  Manor  account  books  for  that 
year.  A  reference  in  that  account  to  one  in  a  prior  ledger,  which 
cannot  now  be  found,  indicates  that  he  was  in  the  Colony  before 
1645,  but  his  arrival  cannot  be  exactly  determined.  The  accounts 
between  him  and  the  Van  Rensselaers  run  continuously  from 
1645  down  to  the  time  of  his  death  in  1663,  and  after  that  with 
his  widow  until  1675,  those  after  1664  showing  his  widow  to  be 
the  wife  of  Sweer  Teunise  Van  Velsen.  Jan  Barentsen  Wemple 
was  also  called  Jan  Barentsen  "  Poest,"  but  old  documents  prove 
the  "  Poest "  to  be  merely  a  nick-name.  One  conclusive  evidence 
of  this  is  an  original  bill  of  account  made  against  him  by  Jan 
Baptist  Van  Rensselaer  in  1659.  The  face  of  the  account,  and 
giving  his  correct  name,  was  made  out  in  Holland,  but  when  filed 
away  in  this  country  it  was  endorsed  Jan  Barentsen  "  Poest,"  on 
the  back.  In  1659  he  purchased  from  the  Indian  proprietors  a 
farm  now  within  the  city  of  Troy,  N.  Y.  It  is  the  first  recorded 
purchase  of  land  in  or  near  that  city.  This  farm  lay  alon^  a 
stream  to  which  was  given  the  name  of  Poestenkil  and  is  still 
known  as  such.  A  village  on  the  stream,  and  the  township  in 
which  the  village  is  located,  are  both  called  Poestenkil.  He  built 
a  saw-mill  on  the  stream,  known  as  the  Poesten  Mill.  April  29, 
1653,  he  sued  Marten  de  Brouwer  for  the  payment  of  2000  bricks, 
which  was  settled.  July  .'4,  105S,  .£lwBn  the  village  of  Bever- 
wyk  was  deeded  him.  <»The  property  was  bounded  on  the  north 
by  his  own  lot,  so  it  was  not  his  first  purchase.  April  22,  1 661,  he 
rented  a  house  and  lot  in  the  Colony  to  Cornelis  Bogart.  Feb.  4, 
1662,  he  was  deeded  a  house  and  garden  in  Fort  Orange  which 
constituted  a  portion  of  the  eastern  curtain  of  the  fort.  Sept.  16, 
1662,  he  and  Marten  Mouwerensz  hired  Hendrick  Arentse  to  work 
their  farm  at  Schenectady  for  one  year.  Gov.  Stuyvesant  grant- 
ed, Nov.  12,  1662,  to  Jan.  Barentsen  Wemple  and  Jacques  Cor- 
nelise  (Van  Slyck)  the  great  island  at  Schenectady.  The  original 
patent  is  still  in  existence  and  now  in  Union  College  library 
This  is  the  earliest  grant  in  Schenectady  or  vicinity.  Historians 
have  always  called  him  one  of  "the  original  15  proprietors  of 
Schenectady,"  but  he  never  lived  there  as  did  the  others.  He  re- 
sided in  Albany  continuously  from  1645  until  his  death,  which 
occured  between  May  18,  1663,  and  July  7,  1663.  Having  fur- 
nished considerable  money  to  Aert  Pietersen  Tack  of  Esopus,  for 
equipping  Tack's  farm,  which  was  not  repaid,  his  widow  appoint- 
ed, Jan.  10,  1664,  three  agents  to  proceed  to  Esopus  and  take  the 
property  for  her  benefit.     June  12,  1664,  Maritie  Mynderts,  widow

of  Jan  Barentsen  Wemple,  was  about  to  marry  Sweer  Theunisse 
Van  Westbroeck  (also  known  as  Van  Velsen),  and  before  the 
ceremony  was  performed  she  entered  into  an  agreement  with  the 
guardians  of  the  children  brought  forth  between  herself  and 
husband,  Jan  Barentsen  Wemple,  settling  upon  them  a  portion  of 
their  father's  estate.  This  valuable  genealogical  document 
proves  the  names  and  ages  of  the  children  and  is  attested  by  the 
original  signatures  of  the  interested  parties.  This  settlement 
shows  him  to  have  been  of  considerable  means  for  the  time. 
About  1669,  Van  Westbroeck  removed  with  his  wife  and  her 
children  from  Albany  to  Schenectady,  where  he  operated  a  mill 
and  became  one  of  the  trustees  of  the  Schenectady  patent.  Van 
Westbroeck  and  his  wife  were  both  killed  in  the  massacre  of 
Schenectady  by  the  French  and  Indians,  Feb.  9,  1690.  Children:

THE  HURRY  FAMILY  OF  GREAT  YARMOUTH,   ENG. 


Arms:  Argent;  in  chief  a  lion  rampant,  gules,  and  in  the 

base  two  mullets  voided,  azure. 
Crest:  a  harpy. 
Motto:  Nee  arrogo  nee  dubito. 

These  arms,  of  which  an  illustration  is  given,  are  those  borne 
by  the  Hurrys  of  Great  Yarmouth,  Co.  Norfolk,  England.  The 
name  was  probobly  originally  Urrey.  It  is  claimed  by  the  fam- 
ily that  it  came  originally  from  Scotland  and  descended  from  the 
Lords  Eure  which  title  became  extinct,  afterwards  made  Lords 
Pitfichy,  Lords  of  the  Marches,  which  also  became  extinct  and 
from  whom  was  descended  Gen.  Sir  John  Hurry. 

The  first  of  this  family  found  recorded  at  Great  Yarmouth  is 
Thomas  Hurry  who  was  admitted  to  the  freedom  of  the  borough 
by  purchase,  August,  5,  1701.  His  son  Thomas,  was  born  at  Great 
Yarmouth  in  1694,  and  died  at  London  in  1780,  aged  eighty-six. 
He  married  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Gabriel  Clifton  of  Great 
Yarmouth  by  Elizabeth,  his  wife,  daughter  of  John  Ives  of  Great 
Yarmouth.     They  had   eleven  children.     Samuel  the  fifth  son,

EDITORIAL. 


We  extend  a  cordial  welcome  to  the  new  genealogical  publication  entitled 
The  Genealogical  Exchange,  Mrs.  Natalie  K.  Fernald,  editor,  and  published 
monthly  at  230  Ashland  Avenue,  Buffalo,  N.  Y. — and  wish  it  success.  For  it 
proposes  not  merely  to  invite  queries  and  answers,  and  so  exchange  informa- 
tion among  those  who  desire  genealogical  material  that  is  not  accessible  in  the 
places  where  they  reside,  but  promises  to  make  efforts  to  secure  answers  by 
special  correspondents,  and  to  publish  these  answers.  Persons  living  at  county 
seats,  who  are  willing  to  act  as  correspondents,  are  invited  to  write  to  the 
editor.  The  idea  of  having  such  is  a  happy  one.  We  hope  that  our  new 
competitor  will  tind  them,  that  the  answers  thus  received  will  all  be  published, 
and  that  their  number  will  approximate  the  number  of  queries  presented, 
If  so,  then  the  success  of  the  new  magazine  should  be  assured, — certainly  it 
will  deserve  success. 

We  believe  that  pains  enough  are  not  taken  by  genealogical  publications 
to  secure  and  present  to  their  readers  answers  to  the  questions  they  publish. 
Would  it  not  be  well  for  their  circulation,  and  well  for  the  cause  of  genealogy, 
if  more  attention  were  given  by  them  to  this  matter?  Is  it  not  time  for  all  con- 
cerned to  take  this  interesting  department  of  genealogical  work  more  ser- 
iously? Hut  if  this  be  done  then  some  discrimination  should  be  used  in  the 
admission  of  queries.  Many  of  those  which  are  now  received  and  published 
are  questions  about  the  unknown  ancestry  of  the  first  settlers  of  this  country 
and  their  wives.  What  possible  answers  can  be  expected  of  such  queries 
as  this  with  which  The  Genealogical  Exchange  begins  its  career?  "  I.  Who 
were  the  parents  of  Richard  Church  of  Hartford,  Conn.,  1637?  " 


OBITUARY. 


Bvtler,  George  Henry,  a  life  member  of  the  New  York  Genealogical

and  continued  his  medical  studies  at  the  Bowdoin  Medical  School  and  in  the 
medical  department  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania.  While  yet  a  student 
of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  he  was  appointed,  Jan.  9,  1864,  as  acting

City,  which  he  continued  until  1882,  when  pressed  by  ill  health  he  retired  from 
active  practise.

York  Academy  of  Medicine,  the  Medical  Society  of  the  County  of  New  York,

adopted  by  her  mother's  sister,  Jane  G.  Lawrence,  and  retained  her  mother's 
name.  Her  grandfather  was  the  Hon.  Samuel  Lawrence,  son  of  Major  Jon- 
athan Lawrence,  both  of  New  York  City. 


Carter,  Walter  Steuben,  head  of  the  law  firm  of  Carter,  Hughes,

born  Feb.  24,  1833,  at  Barkhamsted,  Conn.,  and  was  the  son  of  Evits  and  Sarah 
Taylor  Carter.  His  father,  who  was  born  at  Bristol,  Dec.  24,  1806,  was  the  son 
of  Noah  Andrews  Carter  of  Barkhamsted,  Conn.,  by  Lydia  Gaylord,  daughter

ter of  Elisha  Andrews  of  New  Haven;  grandson  of  William  Carter,  of  \\  al- 
lingford,  and  Ann  Yale,  daughter  of  Capt.  Theophilus  Yale  of  Wallingford; 
and  great  grandson  of  Robert  Carter,  shipbuilder,  who  came  to  America  from 
Bristol,  England,  and  settled  at  Guilford,  Conn.,  where  he  died  in  1751.  His 
mother  was  the  daughter  ofBergt.  William  Taylor  of  New  Hartford,  Conn.,  a

Taylor  of  New  Hartford  by  his  wife,  Ruth,  daughter  of  Thomas  Rich  and 
Mercy  Knowles,  who  was  the  daughter  of  Samuel  Knowles  and  Mercy  Free- 
tnui,  who  was  the  daughter  of  Major  John  Freeman  and  Mary  Prince,  who

of  Elder  William  Brewster  of  the  Mayflower,  1620. 

He  was  admitted  to  the  bar  at  Middletown  in  1855,  and  during  his  resi- 
dence in  that  city  was  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Education.  He  removed  to 
Milwaukee  in  1858  where  he  became  a  member  of  the  law  firm  of  Carter  and 
Whipple  and  Carter,  Pitkin  and  Davis,  and  was  a  United  States  commissioner 
and  a  master-in-chancery.  He  became  prominent  in  Republican  politics  and 
managed  the  first  election  of  Matthew  H.  Carpenter  to  the  United  States  Sen-

founded  the  law  firm  of  Carter,  Becker  and  Dale.  He  was  burned  out  in  the 
fire  of  1871,  and  the  following  year  he  came  to  New  York  as  the  representative 
of  the  Chicago  creditors  of  the  insurance  companies  that  had  failed  on  account 
of  the  great  fire.  He  remained  in  New  York  City  and  continued  in  the  prac- 
tise of  his  profession  with  great  success  until  his  death.  Among  the  attorneys 
associated  with  him  as  partners  before  the  founding  of  the  present  firm  were

I904]  Obituary.  209 

No  member  of  the  New  York  Bar  took  a  greater  interest  in  young  lawyers  than 
be,  or  did  more  to  assist  them  in  starting  upon  their  professional  careers.  It 
has  been  said  that  mure  than  two  hun. lied  lawyers  have  studied  in  Mr.  Car- 
ter's office.  About  two  years  ago  a  complimentary  dinner  was  given  to  him  at 
which  most  of  them  were  present  to  do  him  honor. 

Mr.  Carter  did  not  confine  his  ai  tit  ities  to  his  chosen  profession.  He  was 
formerly  active  in  Republican  politics  in  Brooklyn  and  sers  ed  for  several  years 
on  its  county  committee.  He  took  much  interest  in  genealogical  studies  and 
was  an  active  member  of  the  New  York  Society  oi  Mayflower  Descendants  and 
of  the  New  York  Genealogical  and  Biographical  Society.  His  knowledge  of 
genealogical  matters  was  great  and  his  memory  for  names  and  dates  and  fam- 
ily connections  amazing.  He  was  also  deeply  interested  in  the  patriotic  socie- 
ties; was  a  member  of  the  Society  of  Colonial  Wars,  the  Sons  01  the  American 
Revolution,  the  Founders  and  Patriots  of  America,  and  himself  founded  and 
organized  the  Society  of  the  Settlers  and  Defenders  of  America,  of  which  he 
was  the  first  president.  He  also  took  much  interest  in  music  and  art;  was  one 
of  the  incorporators  of  the  Brooklyn  Institute  and  for  eight  years  the  chairman 
of  its  department  of  music.  He  was  the  only  lay  member  of  the  American 
Guild  of  Organists;  was  a  member  of  the  National  Arts  and  Grolier  clubs,  and 
his  collection  of  etchings,  noteworthy  for  its  Whistlers  and  Rembrandts,  is  one 
of  the  finest  in  the  country.  He  was  a  member  of  the  American  and  State  Bar 
associations;  of  the  Union  League  and  Republican  clubs  of  Brooklyn  and  of 
the  Lawyers  club  of  Manhattan,  as  well  as  of  many  societies  including  the 
New  York  Historical,  the  American  Historical,  the  New  York  Zoological  and 
the  New  England  Society.  For  many  years  he  was  vice-president  of  the  board 
of  trustees  of  the  New  York  Avenue  Methodist  Church  of  Brooklyn,  to  which 
in  1890  he  presented  an  organ  of  sixty  speaking  stops.  He  was  also  a  trustee 
of  the  Methodist  Church  in  Pleasant  Valley,  Conn.,  and  of  Syracuse  University. 

Walter  S.  Carter  was  married  in  1855  to  Marie  Antoinette  Smith,  daughter 
of  John  Cotton  Smith  of  New  Hartford,  Conn.,  who  died  in  1865.  By  her  he 
had  four  children,  two  of  whom  survive  him:  Dr.  Colin  S.  Carter  of  New  York, 
and  Antoinette,  wife  of  Charles  E.  Hughes  of  New  York.  A  son,  George 
Stuart  Carter,  died  in  1887,  and  a  daughter,  Emma,  the  wife  of  Rev.  Edwin  H. 
Dickinson  of  Buffalo,  died  last  year.  In  1867,  Mr.  Carter  married  Mary  Boyd 
Jones,  daughter  of  Aubray  G.  Jones,  of  Frederick,  Mi!.,  who  died  in  1869.  In 
1870  he  married  Harriet  Cook,  ilaughter  of  George  C.  Cook  of  Chicago  who 
died  in  1900.  By  her  he  had  two  sons  who  survive  him,  Walter  Frederick  Car- 
ter, and  Leslie  Taylor  Carter. 

Fitch,  Ashbel  Parmelee,  member  of  the  New  York  Genealogical  and 
Biographical  Society,  died  May  8,  1904,  at  his  residence  in  New 'N  ork  City, 
aged  fifty-five  years.  He  was  born  Oct.  8,  1848,  at  Mooers,  Clinton  County, 
N.  Y.,  and  was  the  son  of  Edward  Fitch  and  Fanny  Parmelee,  daughter  of  the 
Rev.  Ashbel  Parmelee,  after  whom  Mr.  Fitch  was  named.  His  father  was  an 
eminent  lawyer  of  New  York  City,  a  partner  of  ex-Gov.  Myron  H.  Clark,  and 
was  distinguished  as  an  orator  and  a  man  of  letters.  His  grandfather,  Dr. 
Jahez  Fitch,  who  served  on  the  medical  staff  in  the  war  of  1812,  was  the  son  of 
Capt.  Jabez  Fitch  who  served  with  distinction  in  the  war  of  the  Revolution. 
The  latter  was  a  descendant  of  the  Rev.  James  Fitch,  by  Priscilla,  his  second 
wife,  daughter  of  Major  John  Mason  who  commanded  the  colonists  of  Con- 
necticut in  the  Pequot  war.  Rev.  James  Fitch  was  the  son  of  Edward  Fitch  of 
Braintree,  England.  He  came  to  this  country  with  his  mother  in  1638,  became 
a  clergyman  of  great  repute,  and  was  the  founder  of  the  City  of  Norwich,  Conn. 

Mr.  Fitch  received  his  earlv  education  in  the  old  Twelfth  Street  School  in 
this  city  and  after  a  course  at  Williston  Seminary  in  Easthampton,  Mass.,  spent 
three  years  at  the  Universities  of  Jena  and  Berlin,  Germany,  where  he  acquired 
that  knowledge  of  the  German  language  and  character  which  afterward  proved 
to  be  so  potent  a  factor  in  his  business  and  political  success.  L'pon  his  return 
to  America  he  studied  law  at  Columbia  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1869  at 
the  age  of  twentv-one.  His  practise  was  chiefly  in  corporation  law  and  he  be- 
came counsel  for  several  of  the  leading  corporations  of  the  city.  His  political 
career  began  with  his  reception  of  the  Republican  nomination  for  Congress  in 


2IO  Obituary.  [July, 

the  Xllth  District  in  1884,  which  he  declined  on  the  ground  of  his  not  being  in 
full  sympathy  with  the  doctrine  of  high  protection.  In  1886,  however,  he  ac- 
cepted the  Republican  nomination  for  the  same  district  and  was  elected  to  the 
Lth  Congress  where  he  served  on  the  committe  on  Military  Affairs  and  was 
active  in  bringing  about  the  repeal  of  the  federal  election  laws.  But  his  action 
in  voting  for  the  Mills  Tariff  bill  took  him  out  of  the  ranks  of  the  Republican 
party.  His  speech  on  the  floor  of  the  house  in  May,  1888,  in  advocacy  of  this 
measure  was  printed  for  general  circulation  and  more  than  a  million  copies 
were  distributed.  At  the  following  election  he  was  re-elected  to  Congress  from 
the  same  distrtct  as  a  Democrat  and  served  upon  the  committee  on  Foreign 
Affairs.  He  was  re-elected  in  1800,  and  again  in  1892,  as  a  Democrat,  and  his 
majority  in  the  former  election  was  the  largest  given  to  any  candidate  for  Con- 
gress in  the  United  States.  In  1893  he  resigned  his  seat  in  Congress  having 
been  elected  Comptroller  of  the  City  of  N'ew  York  for  four  years.  His  inde- 
pendent course  while  in  this  office  displeased  the  dominant  powers  in  Tam- 
many Hall  and  on  the  pretext  that  he  had  accepted  a  re-nomination  from  the 
Republicans  his  name  was  dropped  from  the  list  of  their  candidates.  In  spite 
of  his  popularity  and  the  esteem  in  which  his  administration  of  the  Comptroller- 
ship  was  held  by  the  business  men  of  the  city  he  was  defeated  and  retired  to 
the  practise  of  his  profession. 

Mr.  Fitch  in  social  life  was  popular  and  his  cheerfulness  and  fund  of 
humor  endeared  him  to  his  many  friends.  He  was  of  a  scholarly  habit  and  had 
one  of  the  finest  German  libraries  in  the  city.  He  was  a  frequent  contributor 
to  the  journals  of  the  city  and  during  the  attacks  of  gout,  from  which  he  suffered 
severely,  occupied  himself  with  literary  work.  He  was  one  of  the  most  prom- 
inent members  of  the  Manhattan  Club,  and  was  a  member  also  of  the  Metro- 
politan, Lawyers,  New  York  Yacht,  St.  Nicholas,  Ardsley,  Germania,  Lieder- 
kranz,  Arion,  and  Press  clubs.  He  was  President  of  the  Franklin  County 
Society  and  a  member  of  the  Sons  of  the  Revolution,  New  England  Society, 
Municipal  Art  Society,  New  York  Genealogical  and  Biographical  Society,  the 
Dunlap  Society  and  the  Chamber  of  Commerce.  He  was  a  director  of  the 
American  Light  and  Traction  Company,  the  Bowling  Green  Trust  Company, 
the  Germania  Bank,  and  the  Trust  Company  of  America  of  which  at  one  time 
he  was  the  president. 

Ashbel  P.  Fitch  married  Nov.  12,  1874,  Elizabeth  A.  Cross,  daughter  of 
George  Cross  of  Morrisville,  N.  Y.,  a  descendant  of  Gov.  William  Bradford  of 
Plymouth  Colony,  who  survives  him.  All  of  his  children  are  living:  Ashbel  P. 
Fitch,  Jr.;  Morton  C.  Fitch;  Littleton  H.  Fitch;  Elizabeth  Fitch,  wife  of  Harold 
W.  Ostby  of  Providence,  R.  I.;  Ella  Fitch,  wife  of  Henri  G.  Chatain  of  New 
York  City,  and  Miss  Doris  Fitch. 


Grace,  William  Russell,  died  of  pneumonia  at  his  residence  in  New 
York,  March  21,  1904,  aged  seventy-one  years.  He  was  born  May  10,  1832,  at 
Riverston,  County  Cork,  Ireland,  and  was  the  son  of  James  Grace  of  Sheffield 
House,  Queens  County,  a  gentleman  of  means  who  severely  compromised  his 
fortune  by  his  generosity  duriug  the  Irish  famine  of  1847,  by  providing  work 
upon  his  estates  for  the  people  of  the  surrounding  district.  James  Grace  was 
the  son  of  John  Grace  who  was  a  member  of  the  Grace  family  of  Gracefield, 
Queens  County,  being  the  fifth  in  descent  from  the  Hon.  Oliver  Grace,  who  was 
in  Parliament  and  settled  at  Gracefield.  Hon.  Oliver  Grace  was  the  son  of 
William  Grace  and  grandson  of  Gerald  Grace  of  Ballylinch  Castle  in  County 
Kilkenny  who  was  killed  during  the  wars  with  the  Commonwealth  and  a  con- 
fiscation of  his  estates  to  the  extent  of  17,000  acres  followed.  Gerald  Grace 
was  the  fourth  in  descent  from  Sir  Oliver  Grace,  Knt,  of  Ballylinch  Castle,  the 
second  son  of  Sir  lohn  Le  Gns,  Baron  of  Courtstown  and  Lord  of  Grace's 
Country,  County  Kilkenny,  who  was  the  twelfth  in  descent  from  William  Fitz 
Raymond,  the  first  Baron  of  Courtstown,  son  of  the  celebrated  Raymond  Fitz 
William,  surnamed  "  Le  Gros,"  of  the  family  of  the  Fitz-Geralds,  who  assisted 
Richard  "  Strongbow,"  Earl  of  Pembroke,  in  the  subjugation  of  Ireland  in  1170. 
Mr.  Grace's  mother  was  Ellen  Mary  Russell,  daughter  of  Michael  Russell  of 
Ninagh  in  County  Limerick. 

When  only  fourteen  years  of  age  he  ran  away  to  sea  and  for  a  short  time

remained  in  New  York  City.  Returning  home  he  accompanied  his  father  to 
Callao,  Peru,  whither  the  latter  went  with  the  hope  of  recuperating  his  unpaired 
resources.  The  father  soon  returned  to  Ireland,  but  the  son  entered  the  com- 
mercial house  of  John  Bryce  of  Callao  and  began  his  remarkable  career  of 
business  prosperity.  Before  he  was  twento-one  he  became  a  partner  in  that 
shipping  house,  which  then  became  Bryce,  Grace  &  Co.,  and  is  now  W.  K. 
Grace  &  Co.  of  New  York,  with  brandies  in  London,  San  Francisco,  Callao, 
Valparaiso  and  other  ports  of  the  South  Pacific  coast.  This  house,  which  has 
since  been  incorporated,  is  one  of  the  most  important  and  influential  commer- 
cial concerns  in  the  world  and  controls  the  snipping  business  of  the  western 
coast  of  South  America.  It  aided  the  Peruvian  Government  in  the  conversion 
of  its  debt  of  $40,000,000;  and  in  behalf  of  the  foreign  creditors  of  Peru  under- 
took the  settlement  of  their  claims  against  that  government.  Through  its 
efforts  an  adjustment  was  effected  that  involved  the  enormous  sum  of  $250,000,- 
000.  Mr.  Grace  founded  his  shipping  house  in  New  York  in  1868  and  has  ever  ■ 
since  resided  in  this  country. 

Mr.  Grace  was  twice  Mayor  of  New  York  City,  and  was  regarded  as  an 
independent  and  reform  Mayor.  The  first  time,  in  1880,  he  was  elected  as  the 
candidate  of  a  united  democracy  when  his  name  was  on  a  list  suggested  by 
Irving  Hall  to  Tammany  and  was  promptly  selected  out  of  a  dozen  names  by 
the  latter  organization.  While  Mayor  he  took  an  active  interest  in  the  street 
cleaning  struggle  and  co-operating  with  the  committee  of  twenty-one  obtained 
the  passage  of  the  Street-Cleaning-bill  which  has  done  so  much  to  improve 
the  condition  of  the  streets  of  the  city.  While  he  recognized  no  factions  in  his 
party  he  appointed  none  but  Democrats  to  office.  His  experience  as  Mayor 
gave  Mr.  Grace  an  insight  into  the  difficulty  of  conducting  a  business-like  ad- 
ministration while  a  debtor  to  political  organizations  for  his  nomination  and 
when  he  again  accepted  a  nomination  for  Mayor  it  had  to  come  from  an  in- 
dependent source.  In  1884,  he  accepted  the  nomination  of  the  Citizen's 
committee,  which  was  afterward  indorsed  by  the  County  Democracy, 
and  was  elected,  defeating  both  the  Tammany  and  Republican  candidates. 
His  second  term  as  Mayor  was  less  eventful  than  the  first,  but  he  retired  from 
office  with  the  reputation  of  a  clean  and  honest  official  and  an  independent 
Democrat.  His  administration  was  generally  recognized  as  advantageous  to 
the  welfare  of  the  city. 

Mr.  Grace  was  prominent  in  the  work  of  the  Catholic  Church.  He  was  the 
founder  of  the  Grace  Institute  on  Sixtieth  Street  near  Amsterdam  Avenue 
which  educates  young  women  in  domestic  sciences  and  occupations  that  will 
afford  them  the  means  of  self-support,  and  which  is  entirely  supported  by  his 
familv.  He  was  also  the  President  of  the  Sevilla  Home  for  Children.  During 
the  famine  of  1870  in  Ireland  he  contributed  one-fourth  of  the  stores  and  per- 
sonally took  charge  of  the  despatch  of  the  steamer  Constellation  which  carried 
a  cargo  of  food  to  the  sufferers.  Socially,  Mr.  Grace  was  popular  and  his  gen- 
iality, spontaneity  and  loyalty  brought  him  a  host  of  friends.  He  belonged  to 
the  Metropolitan,  Manhattan,  Lawyers,  Reform,  Catholic  clubs  and  to  the 
Liederkranz.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  as  well  as 
of  the  New  York  Historical,  the  New  York  Zoological,  the  American  Geo- 
graphical, and  the  New  York  Genealogical  and  Biographical  Societies. 

William  R.  Grace  was  married  Sept.  II,  1850,  to  Lillias  Gilchrist,  daughter 
of  George  W.  Gilchrist,  a  ship-builder  of  Thomaston,  Maine,  who  survives  him. 
Their  children  are:  Alice,  wife  of  Albert  F.  D'Oench;  Joseph  P.;  Lillias,  wife 
of  George  Edward  Kent;  Louise  Nathalie,  and  William  R.  Grace,  Jr.

Dr.  Butler  was  elected  in  1877  and  had  twice  been  Treasurer  of  the 
Society.  Both  Dr.  Holconibe  and  Dr.  Butler  maintained  a  deep  and  active 
interest  in  the  welfare  of  the  Society  and  were  often  in  attendance  at  our 
meetings. 

Mr.  Clarence  Winthrop  Bowen,  First  Vice-President  of  the  Society  read  a 
paper  entitled  "Unpublished  Papers  of  Baron  Van  Closen  of  Rochambeau"s 
Staff." 

In  introducing  the  subject  Mr.  Bowen  described  the  rinding,  condition  and 
the  contents  of  these  original  journals. 

Baron  Van  Closen  was  a  native  of  Bavaria,  born  Aug  18,  1755,  entered  the 
French  Military  Service  as  a  Captain  of  the  Regiment  Royal  Deux  Fonts  in 
1780  and  on  the  arrival  of  the  French  in  this  country  became  an  Aide  to 
Rochambeau.  His  chief  service  was  in  Virginia  prior  to  the  Yorktown  capit- 
ulation, and  he  bore  important  dispatches  between  Washington  and  De  Grasse, 
&c.  On  his  return  to  France  he  was  created  Colonel,  a  Chevalier  of  the 
Legion  of  Honor  and  later  became  a  member  of  the  Society  of  the  Cincinnati. 
Mr.  Bowen  stated  that  these  MSS.  would  be  shown  in  the  U.  S.  Government 
exhibit  at  the  World's  Fair,  St.  Louis,  and  he  hoped  that  they  might  event- 
ually be  permanently  placed  in  the  Congressional  Library  at  Washington,  He 
gave  a  description  of  the  contents  of  various  documents  and  more  particularly 
extracts  from  the  two  volume  journal.  At  the  close  of  the  lecture  pictures 
gathered  by  Van  Closen  in  the  United  States,  also  important  letters,  etc.,  were 
shown  on  the  screen.  Mr.  Bowen  gave  interesting  accounts  from  the  journal 
of  his  journeys  to  see  Washington  on  the  Hudson,  De  Grasse  on  the  Ville  de 
Paris,  Cornwallis  at  Yorktown;  also  of  the  siege  and  capitulation  of  Yorktown, 
his  admiration  for  the  American  troops  and  of  General  Washington,  and  the 
departure  of  Rochambeau  and  the  return  of  his  army  to  France,  etc. 

Alter  the  paper,  President  Evans  made  some  appropriate  remarks,  allud- 
ing to  the  advantage  gained  from  such  knowledge  and  tendered  to  Mr.  Bowen 
the  grateful  thanks  of  the  Society.  He  then  called  on  Col.  Asa  Bird  Gardiner 
to  make  a  few  remarks:  Col.  Gardiner  spoke  of  the  high  class  of  the  French 
nobility  who  came  to  this  country,  that  they  were  a  galaxy  of  young  nobles, 
and  were  sent  over  in  expectation  of  a  very  much  larger  body  of  troops 
coming  than  were  able  to  follow.  He  also  alluded  to  the  prominent  parts  these 
same  men  took  later  in  the  history  of  France  and  that  it  was  through  them 
that  the  great  principles  of  Anglo  Saxon  liberty  were  introduced  into  France 
which  are  the  backbone  of  the  present  Republic. 

At  the  close  of  these  remarks,  the  Society  adjourned  to  the  Library  where 
the  members  and  their  guests  were  served  with  refreshments. 

A  regular  meeting  of  the  Society  was  held  Friday  evening,  May  17,  1004, 
President  Thomas  G.  Evans  presiding.  The  report  of  the  Executive  Commit- 
tee was  read  announcing  the  election  of  the  following  members: — Mrs.  S,  \. 
Cunningham,  02  Morningside  Ave,,  New  York  City,  proposed  by  John  R.  Totten; 
Miss  Laura  Effie  Palmer,  Spring  Lake  Beach,  NT.  J.,  proposed  by  Mrs.  F.  E. 
Younijs;  Mr.  John  B.  Pine,  63  Wall  St.,  New  York  City,  proposed  by  Thomas 
G.  Evans;  Mr.  Henry  Dudley  Teetor,  Park  Ave.  Hotel,  New  York  City,  pro- 
posed by  Mrs  F.  E,  Youngs.  The  resignation  was  also  reported  of  A.  R.  Me 
Michael,  M.  D.,  to  take  effect  as  of  Dec.  31st,  1904.  President  Evans  then 
introduced  the  speaker  of  the  evening,  Mr.  Frank  Warren  Crane,  subject: 
"Historic  Trees  of  America."  He  opened  the  lecture  by  reference  to  the 
great  number  of  trees  which  had  been  planted  by  the  school  children  of  New- 
York  during  the  last  few  years.  Among  other  more  interesting  trees  mention- 
ed were  the  following: — The  Liberty  Tree  of  Boston;  The  Liberty  Pole  of  New 
York;  The  Liberty  Tree  of  New  Brunswick,  N.  ].;  Washington  Elm  of  Cam- 
bridge, Mass. — under  which  he  took  command  of  the  American  Army;  Boston 
Elm  on  Boston  Common;  The  Charter  Oak  at  Hartford,  Conn.,  which  was  33 
ft  in  circumference;  Elliot  Oak  at  South  Natick,  Mass.;  Fox  Oak  at  Flushing; 
William  Penn  and  his  Treaty  Tree,  which  was  an  Elm  24  ft.  in  circumference; 
The  Weathersrield  Elm,  the  largest  tree  in  New  F'ngland,  55  ft.  circumference; 
Tulip  Tree  under  which  Major  Andre  was  captured;  The  Pine  Tree  at  Fort 
Edward  which  was  supposed  to  mark  the  spot  where  Jane  McCrea  was 
massacred  by  the  Indians  durine  the  Revolution;  The  Stuyvesant  Pear  Tree 
at  3d  Ave.  and  13th  St.,  New  York  City,  which  was  supposed  to  be  over  two

thirteen  Hamilton  Trees  at  I42d  St.,  and  the  old  trees  in  the  vicinity  and  in 
Westchester,  Pelham,  Bronx,  Kings  Bridge,  Prospect  Park,  etc.  Finally  he 
devoted  his  attention  to  the  famous  California  Big  Trees,  and  exhibited  con- 
trasting pictures  to  show  their  enormous  size.  All  of  the  foregoing  and  many 
more  were  finely  illustrated  by  stereopticon  views.  At  the  close  of  the  paper 
Mr.  Isaac  Townsend  Smith  arose  and  spoke  regarding  the  death  of  our  late 
lamented  member,  Dr.  Holcombe,  reference  to  whom  had  been  made  at  a 
previous  meeting,  and  requested  that  a  committee  be  appointed  by  the  chair  to 
draw  up  appropriate  resolutions  which  should  appear  in  the  next  number  of 
the  Record.    On  motion  adjourned  to  the  Library  for  refreshments.

The  Roll  of  Associates  in  this  volume  is  especially  useful,  as  each  step  in 
the  member's  ancestry  is  given.  The  records  are  completed  by  brief  biograph- 
ical notices  of  the  Founder  Ancestors,  and  in  another  part,  the  Patriot  Ances- 
tors. These  are  all  alphabetically  arranged.  The  standard  of  the  Order  is 
printed  in  color,  and  there  are  excellent  portraits.

Whenever  a  genealogy  departs  from  the  beaten  path  of  orderly  arrange- 
ment, one  approaches  it  with  some  misgivings.  In  the  present  instance  a  new 
plan  has  been  well  carried  out.  The  generations  of  each  branch  of  the  family 
are  grouped,  and  the  difference  between  them  shown  by  changes  of  type.  By 
good  management  in  the  shape  of  the  book  a  great  deal  can  thus  be  seen  in 
each  page  at  a  glance,  especially  as  the  genealogy  proper  is  simply  an  array 
of  dates  and  names.  There  are  a  number  of  biographical  notes  and  pages, 
with  a  great  many  portraits.  The  ancestry  of  many  of  the  Hosmer  consorts  is 
traced,  and  a  good  index,  with  descendant  daughters  indexed  under  maiden 
and  married  names,  renders  all  this  information  readily  accessible.  Blank 
pages  are  bound  in  for  personal  records.

This  work  will  be  issued  in  four  parts  of  about  two  hundred  pages  each. 
The  first  section  includes  the  genealogy  of  the  rive  original  Morse  families, 
down  to  and  including  the  fourth  generation.  The  separation  of  each  family 
from  the  others,  will  be  done  when  the  work  is  completed,  each  family  occupy- 
ing the  whole  or  part  of  a  volume,  according  to  its  numbers.  The  paging  of 
each  family  is  consecutive.  Anyone  finding  mistakes  in  these  records,  or  hav- 
ing additional  records  of  any  family  in  this  book,  is  earnestly  requested  to

Containing  the  direct  lines  of  ancestry  of  Anna  Hall  Field,  this  chart 
traces  her  descent  from  more  than  fifty  emigrant  ancestors  who  appeared  in

A  biographical  sketch  of  Josiah  Harris  opens  this  pamphlet,  followed  by 
the  genealogy.  The  family  descends  from  John  Harris  of  Charlestown,  Mass., 
and  became  identified  with  Maine  in  the  final  removal  thither  of  Josiah  Harris 
in  1789.

The  author  has  not  attempted  to  make  this  little  book  more  than  a  simple 
straightforward  relation  of  the  story  of  Richfield,  but  the  chapters  on  County 
and  Town  Changes,  Earliest  Settlers,  First  Town  Meeting,  and  the  lists  of 
Revolutionary  and  Civil  War  soldiers  will  be  found  of  genealogical  value.

This  genealogy  is  issued  in  parts,  and  begins  well.  Part  I  contains  three 
sub-divisions,  on  Mr.  John  Gosmer,  John  Woodruff  the  Immigrant,  and  The 
Two  Sons  of  John,  Part  II  treats  of  the  Westfield  (N.  J.)  Woodruffs,  and  con-

Published  by  the  State  Historical  Society  of  Iowa.  Iowa  City,  Iowa.  1904. 
8vo,  cloth,  pp.  IX+425. 

This  volume  includes  the  messages  and  proclamations  of  Governors  John 
Henry  Gear  (1878-1882)  and  Buren  Robinson  Sherman  (1882-1886.)  Governor 
Gear  was  of  Massachusetts  and  Connecticut  ancestry.  His  administration 
may  fairly  be  described  as  a  business  administration,  for  everywhere  during 
his  administration  a  business  character  was  stamped  upon  public  affairs. 
Governor  Sherman  was  born  in  Ontario  County,  N.  Y.;  and  served  in  the  Civil 
War  with  credit  and  distinction  in  the  volunteer  army.  Each  Governor  served 
two  terms.

History  oi  New  Paltz,  New  York,  and  Its  Old  Families  (from 
1678  to  1820),  including  the  Huguenot  Pioneers  and  others  who  settled  in  New 
Paltz  previous  to  the  Revolution.  Ralph  Lefevre.  Albany.  Fort  Orange 
Press.     1903.     8vo,  clofh,  pp.  \IV-f593. 

This  long-looked-for  bunk  found  its  welcome  awaiting  it,  and  with  gooi 
reason,  New  Paltz  being  the  mother  settlement  of  many  old  Hudson  River 
towns.  It  was  one  of  the  few  Huguenot  settlements  in  this  country,  and  for 
half  a  century  was  ruled  in  spiritual  matters  by  the  church,  and  in  temporal 
affairs  by  the  Dusine,  twelve  men  chosen  annually  by  a  viva  voce  vote,  whose 
government  began  in  1728.  This  government  by  the  Dusine  has  no  parallel  in 
the  Colonial  history  of  America.  They  had  power  to  act  and  set  in  order  all 
common  affairs,  to  divide  lands  in  the  Paltz  patent  by  lot,  and  to  give  title  by 
parole,  without  deed,  to  impose  fines,  and  in  fact  to  exercise  to  some  extent 
judicial  and  legislative  powers,  until  in  1785  the  town  was  incorporated  in  the 
state  government,  and  the  grants  and  petitions  of  the  Dusine  were  confirmed. 
The  patentees  of  New  Paltz  were  Louis  Dubois,  Christian  Doyo,  Abraham 
Hasbrouck,  Andrii  Lefevre,  Jean  Broecq,  Pierre  Doyo,  Laurens  Bivier,  Anthony 
Crespell,  Abraham  Dubois,  Hugo  Freer,  Isaac  Dubois  and  Simon  Lefevre, 
whose  descendants  are  traced  in  this  book.  Many  interesting  recollections  of 
old  people  are  rehearsed,  illustrating  old  times  and  manners.  The  book  is 
pleasing  in  its  make-up,  and  has  63  pages  of  index,  besides  a  chapter  outline.

T.  A.  Wright.     1904. 

A  clear  and  concise  record  of  the  origin  and  history  of  the  family  in 
England  in  its  various  branches  down  to  the  period  of  the  appearance  of 
William  Fowler  in  Conn.,  Joseph  and  Richard  in  Long  Island  and  East  Chester, 
and  Henry  in  Rhode  Island  and  East  Chester.  It  fully  clears  up  the  am- 
biguities and  errors  of  former  publications  as  regards  the  relationship  of  these 
four  men  and  their  immediate  descendants.  An  important  feature  is  the  "  List 
of  Fowlers  in  the  Revolution  "  and  "Early  Fowler  Marriages."  Mr.  Dickinson 
has  adhered  strictly  to  the  English  method  of  genealogy  as  in  Burke,  Foster 
and  others.  The  book  is  in  large  type  printed  on  heavy  deckle  edge  paper, 
untrimmed,  handsomely  bound,  and  contains  a  complete  index.

Carrying  on  the  valuable  work  which  Mr.  Hastings  is  doing  for  our  own 
State  of  New  York,  these  two  volumes  bring  the  history  of  all  tin-  religious 
bodies  of  New  York  State  down  to  the  year  1750.  The  books  consist  of  classi- 
fied documents,  without  comment,  and  thus  far  with  only  a  subject  index.  This 
State  sets  a  noble  example  to  its  neighbors  in  its  generous  printing  of  valuable 
records,  and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  Mr.  Hastings  will  not  be  restricted  in  any 
hopes  or  plans  he  may  have  for  future  work  along  these  lines.

and  exported."

History  and  Genealogy  of  the  Mead  Family  of  Fairfield 
County,  Connecticut,  Eastern  New  York,  Western  Vermont  and 
Western  Pennsylvania,  from  A.  D.  1 180  to  1900.  Spencer  P.  Mead,  LL.B. 
New  York.     The  Knickerbocker  Press.     1001.     8vo,  cloth,  pp.  IV+471. 

The  first  quarter  of  this  handsome  work  is  taken  up  with  family  sketches, 
war  records  and  anecdotes,  the  Meads  being  especially  rich  in  Revolutionary 
experiences.  The  most  famous  branch  of  the  family  is  in  Greenwich,  Conn., 
where  they  form  so  large  a  part  of  the  population  that  the  story  goes  it  is  safe 
for  a  stranger  to  address  anyone  at  a  venture  by  the  name  of  Mead.  If  he  is 
not  a  Mead  by  name  he  is  probably  one  by  descent.  Having  told  the  family 
history  in  a  most  interestiug  way  in  the  first  part  of  the  book,  Mr.  Mead  de- 
votes the  remainder  to  unadorned  genealogy.  The  first  Mead  ancestor  had 
two  sons,  Joseph  and  John,  from  the  latter  of  whom  come  the  Greenwich 
Meads.  The  family  records  are  arranged  under  the  page  headings  of  "The 
Joseph  Line"  and  "The  John  Line,"  which  later  are  subdivided,  as,  for  in 
stance,  "The  John  Line — John  (2)  Branch."  This  arrangemeut  would  be  much 
better  appreciated  by  the  student  had  not  this  fine  work  been  handicapped  by 
an  insufficient  index. 

Some  Descendants  of  John  Moore  of  Sudbury,  Mass.  By  Ethel 
Stanwood  Bolton.     8vo,  boards,  pp.  22.     Boston,  1904. 

This  is  a  reprint  from  the  New  England  Register  and  contains  a  record  of 
five  generations  from  John  Moore  who  immigrated  to  Sudbury,  Mass.,  prior  to 
1642,  arranged  in  the  Register  plan. 

Family  Records  of  the  Descendants  of  James  Wait  of  Rorts- 
mout,  R.  I.  By  John  Cassan  Wait.  8vo,  cloth,  pp.  53.  New  York,  1904. 
Price,  Si. 00 

This  fragment  of  the  general  history  of  the  Wait  family  is  published  by 
the  author  as  his  contribution  to  what  he  hopes  may  some  day  become  a  com- 
plete genealogy  of  the  Wait  family.  It  is  a  quaint  and  interesting  little  vol- 
ume, beautifully  printed  and  bound,  and  ought  to  stimulate  others  to  gather 
similar  records  and  print  them. 

Descendants  of  Jonathan  Towle,  1747-1822,  of  Hampton  and 
Pittsfield,  N.  H.  By  Alvin  F.  Towle.  l2mo,  cloth,  pp.  312.  Boston.  C. 
W.  Calkins  &  Co.     1903. 

This  exceptionally  handsome  volume  is  arranged  upon  a  somewhat  novel 
plan,  divided  into  four  sections  for  greater  convenience.  First  there  is  a  series 
of  six  tables,  which  give  in  condensed  form  the  main  facts  relating  to  Jonathan 
Towle  and  his  five  children.  Part  II  contains  the  historical  chapters;  Part  III 
the  genealogy  proper,  and  Part  IV  a  copious  index.  Over  100  portraits  beauti- 
fully engraved  and  printed,  together  with  facsimile  copies  of  wills  and  old 
letters,  and  numerous  maps  and  prints  of  historic  buildings,  comprise  the  illus- 
trations. 

Descendants  of  Francis  Le  Baron  of  Plymouth,  Mass.  Compiled 
by  Mary  Le  Baron  Stockwell.  Boston.  T.  R.  Marvin  &  Son,  Printers.  1904. 
8vo,  cloth,  pp.  521. 

This  book  is  compiled  by  an  experienced  genealogist,  and  is  an  excellent 
example  of  modern  methods,  with  its  simple  and  clear  arrangement  of  factSi 
its  sixty  pages  of  very  satisfactory  index,  and  its  fine  illustrations,  of  which 
Dielman's  Colonial  Wedding  is  the  frontispiece.  The  name  of  Francis  Le 
Baron  carries  with  it  the  perfume  of  old  romance,  and  one  sees  again  the  little 
child  surrounded  with  mystery,  the  young  man,  fugitive  in  a  strange  land,  and 
at  last  the  man  in  early  middle  life,  dying  with  his  secret  untold.  Dr.  Le  Baron 
left  many  descendants  bearing  famous  names,  among  them  those  of  Abbott, 
Adams,  Alden,  Bartlett,  Boutelle,  Bovee,  Bowen,  Bradford,  Brewster,  Budd, 
Carver,  Chase,  Chandler,  Church,  Clark,  Crocker,  Davis,  Doten,  Goodwin, 
Howland,  Morse,  Perrv,  Putnam,  Robbins,  Russell,  Shurtleff,  Stanton,  Sturgis, 
Thacher,  Whiting,  Wilder,  Winslow  and  Wright.  In  fact,  few  New  England 
names  of  prominence  fail  to  appear  in  the  index.

This  is  another  of  the  results  of  the  public-spiritedness  of  Massachusetts. 
Liber  XIII  begins  with  the  deed  from  Jeremiah  Beale  and  Sarah,  his  wife,  to 
Daniel  Cushing,  which  was  entered  for  record  July  21,  1683.  It  ends  with  the 
deed  from  Janus  Howard  and  Abigail,  his  wife,  to  John  Moore,  which  was 
entered  May  24,  1686.  Mr.  Thos.  t .  Temple,  Register  of  Deeds,  assisted  by 
Miss  A.  Grace  Small,  is  most  ably  carrying  on  the  work  so  long  conducted  by 
the  late  John  T.  Hassam,  Esq.

Nothing  to  be  compared  with  the  thoroughness  of  this  work  has  ever  been 
done  to  commemorate  the  body  of  picked  men,  popularly  and  erroneously 
known  as  "  Washington's  Body  Guard."  Some  idea  of  the  scope  ot  this 
history  may  he  gathered  from  the  table  of  contents,  which  covers  the  History 
of  the  Guard,  Rosters  of  the  Infantry  and  Cavalry  Guards,  Records  of  the 
Officers  and  Men,  Elijah  Fisher's  Diary,  Calendar  for  Years  1776  to  1783,  and 
five  pages  of  references.  The  illustrations  are  numerous  and  valuable,  con- 
sisting of  portraits  and  facsimiles,  amongst  the  latter  being  the  signatures  of 
the  members  of  the  organization.  Of  exceptional  value  to  the  family  historian 
is  the  part  containing  the  records  of  officers  and  men,  covering  161  pages,  and 
including,  besides  their  military  achievements,  much  genealogical  information. 
The  author  has  spent  much  time  and  care  upon  this  branch  of  the  work,  in  the 
endeavor  to  make  it  as  complete  and  authoritative  as  possible,  and  with  the 
facilities  placed  at  his  disposal  by  the  late  Major-Genera!  William  S.  Strvkcr, 
of  Trenton,  N.  ].,  Brigadier-General  M.  I.  Ludington,  Quartermaster-General 
of  the  United  States  Army,  Hon.  William  Olin,  Secretary  of  the  Commonwealth 
of  Massachusetts,  and  others,  he  has  been  able  to  produce  a  work  which  will 
be  recognized  as  the  standard  authority  on  this  interesting  subject. 

Civil  and  Military  List  of  Rhode  Island,  1800-1850.  A  list  of  all 
Officers  elected  by  the  General  Assembly  from  1800  to  1850.  Also,  all  Officers 
in  Revolutionary  War,  appointed  by  Continental  Congress,  and  in  the  Regular 
Armv  and  Navy  from  Rhode  Island,  to  1850,  including  Volunteer  Officers  in 
War  of  1812  and  Mexican  War,  and  all  Officers  in  Privateer  Service  during 
Colonial  and  Revolutionary  Wars,  and  the  War  of  1812.  Compiled  from  the 
records  by  Joseph  Jencks  Smith.  Providence.  Preston  &  Rounds  Co.  I901. 
Quarto  cloth,  pp.  \'l-r-7oq.     Price,  $7.50. 

This  is  the  second  volume  of  this  valuable  work,  the  previous  one  being 
devoted  to  the  period  from  1647  to  1800.  The  military  records  are  outlined  in 
the  sub-title,  but  the  civil  list  is  also  of  interest,  and  gives  the  names  of  Speak- 
ers and  Clerks  of  the  House,  Justices  of  the  Supreme  Court,  Common  Pleaa 
and  General  Sessions,  Commissioners,  Senators  in  Congress,  and  others.  The 
public  records  concerning  privateers  are  very  incomplete,  and  only  names  of 
vessel  and  captain,  in  many  cases,  can  be  found,  but  all  mentioned  111  this 
compilation  received  commissions  from  this  Colony  or  State.  From  1702  to 
1709  a  few  privateers  were  engaged;  but  during  the  Spanish  War,  1740-49,  and 
also  during  the  French  War,  1755-63.  many  officers  were  engaged,  whose 
names  will  be  found  in  this  work.  In  1759  one-fifth  of  the  population  was  en- 
gaged in  privateer  service,  and  one-seventh  of  the  remaining  were  in  the  land 
service  of  the  King.  So  full  of  valor  was  this  small  colony  that  it  is  easy  to 
see  why  Mr.  Smith's  fine  volumes  could  only  include  the  names  of  officers.

2  20  Book  Notices.  [July. 

The  Ancestors  and  Descendants  of  Isaac  Alden  and  Irene 
Smith,  his  Wife  (1599-1903.)  Harriet  Chapin  Fielding.  1903.  8vo,  cloth, 
pp.  144. 

Isaac  Alden  was  in  the  sixth  generation  from  John  Alden  of  the  Mayflower, 
and  was  born  at  Ashfield,  Mass.  After  his  marriage  he  removed  to  Oneida 
County,  New  York,  where  all  his  children,  ten  in  number,  were  born.  Be- 
ginning with  so  late  a  generation  as  a  practical  starting  point,  Mrs.  Fielding 
has  succeeded  in  collecting  full  and  interesting  data  concerning  the  members 
of  the  family.  The  second  part  of  the  work  treats  of  the  ancestors  of  the  wife 
of  Isaac  Alden,  Irene  Smith,  whose  first  American  forefather  was  Rev.  Henry 
Smith,  who  arrived  with  his  wife  Dorothy  in  Plymouth  Colony  in  1636-7.  The 
volume  is  a  good  contribution  to  Mayflower  genealogy. 

Genealogy  of  the  Descendants  of  John  Walker  of  Wigton, 
Scotland,  with  records  of  a  few  allied  families.  Also  war  records  and  some 
fragmentary  notes  pertaining  to  the  hisiory  of  Virginia,  1600-1902.  Emma 
Siggins  White.  Kansas  City,  Mo.  Press  of  Tiernan-Dart  Printing  Co.  1902. 
8vo,  cloth,  pp.  XXX+722. 

This  volume  contains  in  its  preface  sketches  of  Rev.  Joseph  Allein  and 
Rev.  John  Rutherfurd,  ancestors  of  the  Walker  family  in  Scotland  and  Eng- 
land, and  the  body  of  the  work  begins  with  the  Rutherford-Allein  marriage, 
from  which  came  a  daughter  who  married  John  Walker  of  Wigton.  The  book 
contains  an  unusual  amount  af  biographical  matter,  for  which  the  compiler  is 
faithful  in  giving  authorities,  This  advantage,  and  that  of  a  seventy-seven 
page  index,  will  be  greatly  appreciated  by  the  reader.  The  book  is  strong  in 
war  records  and  many  historical  notes  pertaining  to  Virginia,  while  sketches  of 
allied  families  form  an  important  part  of  the  work.  It  is  a  very  desirable  ad- 
dition to  Virginia  genealogies. 

A  Documentary  History  of  the  Dutch  Congregation  of  Oyster 
Bay,  Queens  County,  Island  of  Nassau  (now  Long  Island,)  Pamphlet 
No.  5.  Henry  A.  Stoutenburgh.  Knickerbocker  Press,  N.  Y.  1904.  8vo, 
pamphlet,  pp.  293-423.     Price,  50  cents. 

The  publication  of  this  work  should  he  strongly  supported  by  the  descend- 
ants of  Oyster  Bay  families,  both  as  a  matter  of  local  and  family  pride,  and  as 
an  encouragement  to  others  to  publish  similar  records.  The  plan  of  issuing 
this  history  in  separate  parts  at  a  moderate  price  places  it  within  the  reach  of 
all.  The  present  number  carries  the  names  from  Luyster  through  Nostrand. 
The  heads  of  families  are  alphabetically  arranged,  but  for  purposes  of  cross- 
reference  we  hope  Mr.  Stoutenburgh  will  crown  his  valued  work  with  a  good 
index.

Co.,  Ltd.  Philadelphia.  J.  P.  Lippincott  Company.  I903.  Quarto  Boards, 
pp.  266. 

This  sumptuous  quarterly  continues  to  be  the  largest  and  handsomest  of 
all  the  genealogical  periodicals  published.  It  abounds  in  trenchant  satire, 
common  sense,  and  detestation  of  all  that  debases  heraldry  and  makes  that 
noble  art  distrusted  by  many.  These  qualities  are  refreshing,  and  make  the 
Ancestor  eminently  readable.  It  is  further  enriched  by  a  number  of  fine 
illustrations.  Amongst  other  articles,  some  of  especial  interest  are  the  Hugue- 
not Families  in  England,  North  Country  Wills,  and  Family  History  in  the 
Public  Records.

This  invaluable  volume  contains  not  only  death  notices,  but  many  obituar-

giving  much  information  hitherto  practically  unknown,  and  it  is  to  be  hoped 
that  Mr.  Arnold  will  receive  every  encouragement  to  continue  his  splendid 
work,  and  to  do  it  as  thoroughly  as  he  desires. 

Wynkoop  Genealogy  in  the  United  States  of  America.  Richard 
Wynkoop.     New  York.     The  Knickerbocker  Press.     1904.  ^ 

The  index  in  this  volume  appeals  at  once  to  the  reader,  both  from  its 
position  in  the  front  of  the  book,  and  from  its  remarkable  completeness.  It 
gives  the  Christian  name,  the  title,  if  any,  the  wife  or  husband,  or  if  unmarried, 
the  birth  and  death  dates,  and  the  personal  number.  The  index  is  an  excellent 
indication — to  pun  a  little, — of  the  value  of  a  book  of  this  nature,  showing  the 
clearheadedness  and  experience  of  the  compiler,  for  no  one  who  works  contin- 
ually amongst  books  can  fail  to  understand  its  absolute  necessity.  The  mater- 
ial used  in  this  genealogy  has  been  collected  during  nearly  sixty  years.  Two 
experimental  volumes  have  been  printed,  but  none  since  1878,  therefore  this 
book  is  the  standard  work  on  the  family.  The  line  descends  from  Cornelius 
Wynkoop  and  his  wife,  Maria  Janse  Langedyck  of  Rensselaerwick  and  Esopus.

8vo,  cloth,  pp.  VT+90.     Price,  $3.50. 

The  Forsyth  family  is  herein  traced  to  the  year  768  in  France,  since  then 
appearing  in  Scotland,  the  United  States  and  Canada.  This  volume  contains 
genealogies  of  the  different  branches,  biographies  of  leading  members,  and  a 
good  deal  of  miscellaneous  information  of  interest  to  the  family.  An  account 
ot  the  founding  of  the  Aryan  Order  of  St.  George  of  the  Empire,  a  reorganiza- 
tion of  various  royalist  orders,  is  given  herein,  with  an  account  of  Captain  For- 
syth, Viscount  de  Fronsac,  its  first  Chancellor;  an  Order  whose  present  head 
is  the  Due  de  Veragua. 

Family  Records.  Being  some  account  of  the  ancestry  of  my  father

Morehouse  &  Taylor  Press.     1900.    8vo,  boards,  pp.  256. 

Although  full  of  genealogical  information,  this  book  is  not  compiled  upon 
the  usual  lines,  but  is  a  delightfully  discursive  account  of  forefathers  and 
mothers,  their  homes,  associations  and  family  ways.  The  ancestors  themselves 
were  picturesque  people,  for  Mistress  Alice  Southworth,  John  Howland,  the 
"Tangier"  Smiths  and  the  Dosoris  Woolseys  figure  among  them.  The  make- 
up of  the  volume  is  attractive,  and  the  the  illustrations  are  unusually  interest- 
ing. The  student  will  probably  read  more  in  this  book  than  he  intended  when 
he  took  it  up,  but  it  will  be  to  his  advantage.

1904.    8vo,  pamphlet,  pp.  it.     Price,  Si. 10. 

This  beautiful  reprint  is  from  the  Record.  It  is  a  thorough  and  careful 
study  of  the  English  history  of  the  Youngs  family  of  Southold  and  Oyster  Bay 
and  allied  families,  and  besides  the  latest  and  most  authoritative  facts  con- 
cerning the  wives  of  the  Rev.  John  Youngs,  develops  some  entirely  new 
matters.  The  accuracy  and  good  judgment  of  this  compiler  make  her  work  of 
great  value. 


22  2  Book  Notices.  [July, 

A  Complete  Genealogy  of  the  Van  Hoosear  Family,  embracing  all 
descendants  of  Kinear  Van  Hoosear,  an  officer  in  the  Revolutionary  Army,

David  Hermon  Van  Hoosear.  Norwalk,  Conn.  Printed  for  the  author.  1902, 
8vo,  cloth,  pp.  96. 

In  this  genealogy  the  author  traces  the  descendants  of  Van  Hoosear  who 
was  probably  born  in  Holland  before  1736.  His  son,  Rinear,  is  the  officer  re- 
ferred to  in  the  sub-title,  and  of  him  there  are  several  pages  of  well-referenced 
biography,  and  a  facsimile  signature.  The  compiler  has  succeeded  in  obtain- 
ing a  good  deal  of  general  information  about  most  of  the  members  of  his  fam- 
ily who  reached  maturity.  There  is  a  good  index,  giving  the  personal  number 
instead  of  page  reference.

Quarterly  is  to  print  the  branches  which  could  not  be  found  when  the  first  and 
second  volumes  were  printed,  but  which  rightly  belonged  in  them;  and  for 
which  there  is  not  room  in  the  third  volume  yet  in  press.

This  number  is  an  Indian  memorial,  and  contains  within  an  artistic  cover 
articles  on  The  Passing  of  the  Redman,  the  First  American,  The  Happy  Hunt- 
ing Ground,  Aboriginal  Media  for  Expressing  Artistic  Impulses,  and  the  In- 
terpretation of  Life  into  Song.  Other  subjects  are  interestingly  treated,  and 
the  magazine  is  well  illustrated.  The  monthly  articles  on  Connecticut  towns 
are  too  much  on  the  county  history  order  to  be  of  especial  value  to  any  but 
those  interested  in  modern  manufactures.

No  attempt  is  here  made  to  give  a  history  of  the  present  generation  of 
Deans.  A  table  of  the  direct  descent  from  Thomas  to  William  Dean;  a  com-

together  with  a  fuller  account  of  his  life  before  and  after  the  imigration  to 
Ohio,  comprise  the  substance  of  this  pamphlet,  which  has  the  unusual  virtue 
of  a  good  index.  The  writer  will  esteem  it  a  favor  to  be  put  on  the  track  of 
any  further  family  records,  published  or  unpublished.

Who's  Who  in  New  York  covers  the  local  field  in  the  same  manner  that 
its  predecessors  cover  the  country  or  the  world.  It  is  a  very  convenient  con-

ranged, amongst  which  may  be  found  every  army  or  navy  officer  bom  in  or  ap- 
pointed from  New  York  and  now  serving,  all  the  Congressmen  from  the  State, 
State  Senators  and  Judges,  and  all  Ambassadors,  Ministers  and  Consuls  ap- 
pointed from  New  York.  The  appendix  is  composed  of  an  index  to  professions 
and  occupations  of  men  and  women,  biographical  sketches  of  whom  appear  in 
this  volume.

One  cannot  help  noticing,  as  a  distinctive  mark   of   this  genealogy,  its 

Ccculiar  modernity.  It  is  handsome  in  appearance,  with  its  scarlet  leather 
inding,  and  its  well  printed  pages  with  deckle  edges.  The  contents  bear  the 
same  hall-mark,  for  amongst  other  matters  of  interest  there  are  lists  of  Rev-

excellently  done  by  Mrs.  Estelle  (Clark)  Woodward.  The  work  treats  of  the 
I  >'"lge  family  in  general,  Long  Island  Dodges,  Jeremiah  Dodge  of  East  Had- 
dam  and  his  descendants,  related  Dodges  whose  connection  has  not  been 
found,  Dodges  in  England  and  in  Beverly,  Mass.,  and  others.  There  are  26 
portraits  and  other  illustrations. 

This  family  seems  to  have  been  of  a  strongly  original  turn  of  mind.  John 
Adams  Dodge  invented  the  first  sewing  machine,  in  the  year  1818.  Elder 
Dodge,  becoming  too  old  to  get  into  his  wagon,  had  constructed  a  very  peculiar 
looking  carriage,  built  close  to  the  ground,  and  suited  to  his  infirmities.  He 
continued  traveling  and  preaching  to  the  end  of  his  life.  Ossian  Euclid  Dodge 
was  the  first  to  take  a  concert  troupe  overland  to  San  Francisco.  Col.  Henry 
Dodge  commanded  the  first  U.  S.  military  expedition  to  the  Rocky  Monntains 
via  the  Platte,  returning  via  the  Arkansas  in  183$  Nehemiah  Dodge  invented 
the  feathering  paddle  for  steamboats.  Daniel  1  '  ■dge  was  the  inventor  of 
machinery  for  the  manufacture  of  horseshoe  nails,  and  his  great  grandfather, 
John  Dodge,  was  the  inventor  of  cut  nails  with  heads,  and  certain  tools  for 
for  their  manufacture.  Many  other  instances  of  originality  and  ability  might 
be  cited,  illustrating  the  excellent  mental  gifts  of  this  notable  family.

WILLIAM  FREDERIC  HOLCOMBE,  M.  D. 


A   Trilogy   of    Appreciation.* 


By  Henry  Reed  Stiles,  M.D. 


Dr.  William  Frederic  Holcombe,  whose  name  stands  upon 
our  Society's  records  as  one  of  its  seven  founders,  was  the 
son  of  Augustine  Holcombe,  sixth  in  descent  from  Thomas,  one 
of  the  early  settlers  of  Windsor,  Conn.,  and  was  born  at  Sterling, 
Mass.,  on  the  2d  of  April,  1827.  He  was  educated  at  Williston 
Seminary,  Easthampton,  Mass.,  and  after  a  hard  and  varied  ex- 
perience of  life  in  his  boyhood, f  secured  by  force  of  his  own  in- 
domitable will  a  medical  education,  and  graduated  M.D.  from 
the  old  Albany  (N.  Y.)  Medical  College,  under  the  especial 
tuition  and  favor  of  its  distinguished  founder  and  president, 
Prof.  Alden  March. 

Coming  to  New  York  City,  he  with  rare  foresight,  took  up  the 

*  During  the  winter  of  1900-01,  the  writer  of  this  note  succeeded  after  a 
solicitation  extending  over  several  years,  in  obtaining  from  Dr.  Holcombe  a 
full  narrative  of  the  facts  and  events  of  his  life,  professional  and  otherwise, 
from  which  was  compiled  (and  approved  by  the  Doctor),  a  biography  for  use, 
in  the  event  of  his  decease,  in  the  pages  of  the  Record.  Unfortunately,  how- 
ever, in  the  circumstances  which  immediately  preceded  his  somewhat  unex- 
pected demise,  this  manuscript  was  lost,  or  more  probably  mislaid,  so  that 
when  called  for  it  could  not  be  found.  In  this  dilemma,  we  have  been  obliged 
to  avail  ourselves  of  such  material  as  was  available,  viz.:  a  most  admirable 
"Characterization"  by  Rev,  Theodore  I.  Holcombe,  a  cousin  of  the  Doctor's; 
an  appreciative  article  in  the  American  Ail  Journal  of  March  26,  1004, 
signed  "  Hans  De  Grunt;"  and  our  own  recollections  of  nearly  half  a  century's 
friendship  with  Dr.  Holcombe  and  his  wife.  This  is  why  we  have  termed  it  a 
Trilogv.— H.R.S. 

t  Early  in  his  life,  owing  to  the  death  of  his  father,  and  the  subsequent 
second  marriage  of  his  mother,  the  boy  came  under  the  guardianship  of  a 
series  of  instructors  and  deacons,  in  various  Massachusetts  towns,  the  recollec- 
tions of  whose  meanness  and  severity,  seemed  always  synonymous  with  the 
name  of  "deacon  *'  in  the  Doctor's  memory,  and  from  one  of  whom  he  finally 
ran  away,  and  struck  out  for  life  by  himself.  It  was  this  bitter  experience, 
probably,  that  gave  to  his  character  that  tinge  of  Bohemianism  which  was  a 
marked  feature  in  his  make-up,  and  which,  undoubtedly,  also  led  to  his  being 
often  misunderstood. — H.  R.  S.

treatment  of  Eye  and  Ear  Diseases,  a  specialty  then  with  but  few 
representatives  in  the  profession.  At  first,  as  is  the  case 
with  almost  all  beginners  in  medicine,  his  practice  was  mostly 
among  the  poor;  but  a  notable  success  with  a  rich  patient's 
case  soon  opened  the  door  to  a  wider  practice  among  the  more 
influential  classes.  Not  long  afterward  he  went  abroad  and 
studied  in  Dublin  under  Sir  William  Wilde,  the  famous  oculist 
and  aurist;  and  in  Berlin  under  Virchow  and  Hemholz;  and 
in  Paris  with  Ricard — all  eminent  in  these  branches  of  science — 
with  whom  he  corresponded  in  later  life,  and  who  frequently 
commended  to  him  their  students  and  professional  friends  who 
visited  the  United  States.  After  his  return  from  Europe,  he  was 
for  several  years  the  lecturer  on  diseases  of  the  eye  and  ear  at 
the  N.  Y.  University  Medical  College;  was  connected  with  the 
Eye  and  Ear  Hospital,  the  N.  Y.  Ophthalmic  Hospital,  the 
Medical  College  for  Women,  and  the  American  Medical  Associa- 
tion; while  among  his  private  clientele  he  numbered  such  men 
as  Daniel  Webster,  Charles  Sumner,  Presidents  Grant  and 
Arthur,  Prof.  Waterhouse  Hawkins,  Thomas  A.  Edison,  and 
many  others,  authors,  divines  and  scientists,  who  profited  by  his 
skill.  But  deafness  crept  upon  him,  and  others  arose  to  divide 
with  him  the  honors  of  his  chosen  specialty,  so  that  gradually  his 
practice  lessened,  although  up  to  the  time  of  the  fire  in  his  house, 
some  six  years  before  his  death,  he  still  received  many  of  his 
old  time  patients. 

One  who  knew  and  appreciated  Dr.  Holcombe  *  says  of  him: 
"  His  acquaintance  with  the  French,  German  and  Spanish  lan- 
guages, and  with  European  scientific  and  social  celebrities,  made 
his  home  in  this  city  a  sort  of  Mecca  to  foreign  visitors  to  this 
country,  where  they  were  sure  to  receive  the  '  glad  hand,'  valu- 
able counsel  and  hospitable  treatment. 

William  Frederic  Holcombe!  What  a  name  beloved  to  the 
thousands — both  here  in  the  flesh  and  across  the  dim  and 
shadowy  borders  of  the  spirit  land — whom  this  plain-mannered 
and  unostentatious  doer  of  good  and  comforter  in  evii  days  hath 
cherished,  cheered  and  championed!  Here  was  a  man  within 
whose  big  heart  many  a  fellow-being,  contemned  of  men  on 
account  of  race,  color  or  previous  condition  of  servitude,  has 
found  encouragement  and  consolation.  Here  was  a  physician 
who  never  turned  an  empty-handed  patient  from  his  door;  whose 
motto  through  life  has  been:  'If  I  have  more  than  I  need,  it 
doesn't  belong  to  me;'  a  man  whose  friendship  has  cheered, 
whose  purse  has  assisted  many  a  Magdalene  out  of  whose  fair, 
frail  body  the  church  was  powerless  to  cast  a  single  one  of  her 
seven  devils;  a  man  whose  cordial  hand-grip  and  cheery  smile 
have  done  more  than  many  an  entire  theology  to  carry  hope  and 
help  into  the  homes  of  sorrow  and  despair.  Was  a  nation  cruel 
or  unjust,  he  condemned  it.  Was  a  man  tabooed  and  ostracized 
for  the  commission  of  some  fanciful  offense,  set  down  as  such

solely  in  the  social  code,  he  received  him.  Were  other  doors 
closed  to  a  fellow  man,  because  in  a  weak  moment  he  had  fallen 
away  from  the  arbitrary  standard  of  so-called  civilization,  his 
door  was  opened  to  him.  Dr.  Holcombe  was  ever  the  steady, 
logical  and  sympathetic  friend  of  the  artist,  be  he  or  she  a  mem- 
ber of  the  'legitimate,'  or  belonging  to  the  more  '  excentrique 
walks  of  vocal,  instrumental  or  arenic  art.  He  took  a  special  de- 
light in  their  eccentricities  and  strove  to  make  them  feel  so  com- 
pletely at  home  as  to  awaken  and  bring  out  their  real  and  dis- 
tinctive flavor.  At  his  hospitable  home  on  25th  Street,  in  this 
city,  you  might  have  met  on  one  and  the  same  morning  Chang, 
the  amiable  and  learned  Chinese  giant;  Carl  Formes,  then  the 
world's  most  celebrated  basso;  John  Marshall,  America's  most 
famous  steel  engraver;  Frank  Carpenter,  one  of  the  best  por- 
traitists our  country  ever  produced;  Stephen  Massett,  that  genial 
curiosity  of  the  lecture  platform;  Cheiro,  the  distinguished 
palmist;  Macdonald,  the  well  known  sculptor  and  advanced 
thinker;  Marquis  de  Leuville,  poet  and  titled  Bohemian;  Junius 
Henri  Browne,  adept  in  elegant  journalism:  George  Francis 
Train,  special  and  universal  iconoclast  of  established  orders 
of  things;  Doctor  Louis  Sayre,  the  celebrated  surgeon;  Water- 
house  Hawkins,  the  distinguished  English  naturalist;  Oscar 
Wilde,  apostle  of  latter-day  jestheticism ;  Countess  Castel- Vecchio, 
tall,  stately  and  tempered  by  the  convenances  of  the  coulisses; 
Gen.  Gomez,  Cuban  patriot  and  leader;  William  D'Hertburn 
Washington,  great-great-nephew  of  his  uncle,  the  very  ideal  of  a 
beau  garcon,  who  needed  only  to  be  seen  of  women  to  be  loved 
by  them;  Col.  Harry  Lockwood,  soldier-author,  whose  'Abolition 
of  the  Presidency'  was  being  read  both  sides  of  the  Atlantic; 
Dr.  Newland  Maynard,  who,  though  raconteur  and  gourmet, 
wore  the  garb  or  cleric  with  pleasing  grace,  a  sort  of  '  little 
Abbe\'  always  chic  and  in  good  taste;  John  Boyle  O'Reilly,  the 
famous  poet-editor;  Countess  de  Bremont,  the  sonneteer;  Misses 
Phoebe  and  Alice  Cary,  Ingersoll  Lockwood,  lawyer  and  liter- 
ateur;  Mrs.  Chambers-Ketchum,  the  author  who  was  enabled  to 
publish  her  work  on  botany  by  Dr.  Holcombe's  assistance; 
Marchesa  di  Lanza,  Mrs.  Lucy  Pickens,  widow  of  the  Governor 
of  South  Carolina;  Dr.  Brown  Sequard,  the  eminent  pathologist; 
Mr.  George  Fox,  A.  T.  Stewart's  partner,  who  married  a  lady  in- 
troduced to  him  by  Dr.  Holcombe,  and  many  other  people  who 
achieved  greatness — or  at  least  notoriety — the  '  very-good  '  fel- 
lows of  Bohemia,  with  a  sprinkling  of  those  who  had  '  failed  in 
art  and  literature.' 

Oh,  they  were  pleasant  days  those,  in  that  spacious  Holcombe 
drawing  room,  with  its  quaint  old  curiosity  shop  attached,  walls 
hidden  beneath  masses  of  pictures,  portraits,  curios,  its  tall 
"grandfather's    clocks"*    and  mementoes  of  travel,   collected 

*  These  were  three  in  number,  all  Holcombe  heirlooms  which  he  had  in- 
herited from  his  New  England  ancestors,  and  with  which  he  used  to  amuse 
himself  by  so  adjusting  their  striking  apparatus,  that  they  would  sound  the 
hour  simultaneously,  or  oftener,  in  succession,  much  to  the  surprise  of  his 
visitor.— H.  R.  S. 


232  William  Frederic  Holcombe,  M.D.  [Oct., 

from  all  quarters  of  the  globe!  *  They  and  many  who  gathered 
in  the  rooms  where  they  hung  or  stood  are  gone  forever  now. 
A  few  years  ago  a  fire  swept  through  the  house,  and  in  a  few 
moments  licked  into  shapeless  mass  and  debris  thousands  of 
dollars'  worth  of  rare  canvases  and  works  of  art.  But  the  good, 
gray  Doctor  bore  his  losses  like  a  philosopher.  His  smile  was 
just  as  cheery,  his  jokes  and  persiflage  just  as  quick  and  elastic, 
his  heart  just  as  open  to  every  tale  of  woe.  his  feelings  just  as 
ready  to  take  fire  at  any  story  of  wrong,  persecution,  despotism 
or  oppression." 

In  the  few  touching  remarks  made  at  the  Doctor's  funeral  by 
the  Rev.  Theodore  I.  Holcombe,  he  said:  "There  was  a  vitality 
about  him  that  cheered  his  friends;  an  individuality  and  an 
optimism  that  captivated  and  encouraged  the  despondent.  He 
never  rehearsed  his  own  grief  for  the  edification  of  his  friends, — 
I  visited  his  house  for  twenty  years,  and  during  that  period  he 
met  with  great  losses  financially,  but  there  was  no  change  in  the 
doctor;  and  even  after  the  great  fire  which  burned  up  his 
pictures  and  much  of  his  furniture,  and  sent  him  out  of  his  house 
into  poorer  quarters,  he  made  no  complaint.  In  all  these  adverse 
conditions  he  exhibited  the  spirit  of  a  true  philosopher.  I  never 
heard  him  say  harsh  things  of  anyone,  or  aught  in  malice — envy, 
hate  and  revenge  were  unknown  to  him;  he  was  full  of  sympathy 
and  helpfulness  to  all  the  unfortunate.  "  With  malice  toward 
none  and  charity  for  all,"  he  went  on  his  way.  His  cheerfulness 
was  ever  a  present  spring  of  hope  for  others.  When,  on  one 
occasion,  he  lost  $30,000  by  the  failure  of  a  bank,  where  he  had 
deposited  his  money  by  the  advice  of  a  rich  friend  of  his,  he 
never  complained;  and  I  who  saw  him  often,  and  knew  him  in- 
timately, was  not  aware  of  his  loss  for  a  considerable  time  after 
it  occurred.  I  think  he  never  allowed  himself  to  worry  over  the 
past.  He  would  have  said:  "What  is  the  use?  Let  the  dead 
past  bury  its  dead."  Dr.  Holcombe  was  essentially  an  aggressive 
man,  impatient  of  let  or  hindrance  and  had  he  not  been  afflicted 
with  deafness  he  would  have  accomplished  much  that,  with  such 
an  affliction,  he  could  not  undertake.  When  Dr.  Holcombe  and 
his  wife  went  to  Europe,  he  was  a  physician  of  unusual  promise. 
He  went  abroad  for  study,  and  remained  six  years  in  Prague  and 
Paris  and  when  he  returned  he  was  fluent  in  the  French  and 
German  languages,  as  was  also  his  wife.     Mrs.  Holcombe  f  was 

*  The  writer  has  delightful  memories  of  sundry  winter  evenings,  which 
he  and  wife,  guests  of  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Holcombe,  enjoyed  in  this  "old  curiosity 
shop"  (truly  so  named),  when  the  good  Doctor  would  lug  up  from  the  basement 
a  basket  of  oysters,  and  pushing  away  the  books  and  papers  which  littered  the 
study  table,  would,  with  his  wife's  assistance,  improvise  a  petite  souper  of 
oysters  roasted  in  the  shell  upon  the  open  fire-place  of  the  room.  Nodes 
Ambrosance,  were  these  indeed! — H.  R.  S. 

t  Mrs.  Holcombe  (whose  maiden  name  was  Margaret  Wanzer)  was  not  only 
an  accomplished  woman  in  the  ordinary  sense,  but  a  woman  of  wide  reading 
and  conversance  with  men  and  women.  Most  of  all  she  was  a  truly  womanly 
woman.  Coming  from  a  good  Quaker  stock,  she  possessed  a  certain  serious 
sweetness  of  feature  and  manner,  and  an  easy  dignitv  which  invited  a  closer 
acquaintance;  and  to  those  who  were  really  admitted  to  her  confidence,  she 


1904.]  William  Frederic  Holcombe,  M.D.  233 

one  of  the  best  conversationalists  I  have  ever  met,  and  much  of 
her  time  was  spent  in  translating  from  the  German.  After  his 
return  the  Doctor  studied  the  Spanish  language.  This  familiar- 
ity with  foreign  tongues  made  the  Doctor's  house  a  headquarters 
for  foreigners,  and  he  had  quite  a  practice  among  them.  Dr. 
Holcombe  was  very  social  in  his  tastes — he  spent  the  half  of  each 
day  on  the  street  and  calling  on  his  friends.  In  the  mornings 
he  was  always  to  be  found  in  his  office  and  generally  engaged  in 
writing  and  working  on  his  Hokombe  Genealogy.  In  this  matter 
he  has  accomplished  a  great  work,  for  the  pride  of  family 
is  a  potent  factor  in  self  respect.  We  of  the  name,  now  know 
something  of  each  other,  where  without  his  labor  we  should 
have  been  in  dense  ignorance.  It  was  he  who  found  the  Coat- 
of-Arms  and  the  "  Holcombe  Crusader  Knight "  in  the  Abbey 
Church  at  Dorchester,  England.  This  genealogy  he  provided  for 
in  his  will,  leaving  all  his  personal  estate  to  be  used  for  its  pub- 
lication.* I  think  there  was  no  one  who  pervaded  the  city  more 
by  his  presence,  or  who  had  a  larger  acquaintance  than  Dr.  Hol- 
combe. He  loved  man,  woman  and  all  things  human.  Every 
stranger  he  met  was  a  new  speciman  of  the  race  to  which  he  be- 
longed, and  as  such  was  entitled  to  special  consideration.  It  was 
cause  for  congratulation  especially  when  he  discovered  a  new 
kinsman.  The  Doctor  was  well  up  in  the  news  of  the  day;  he 
bought  all  the  daily  papers  and  disliked  to  destroy  one  of  them. 
It  was  a  fad  of  his  to  keep  them,  and  keep  them  he  did  until  they 
became  a  nuisance  to  all  but  himself.  At  an  early  day  he  trav- 
eled the  west  extensively,  visiting  the  various  Indian  tribes  of 
the  northwest,  and  later  he  was  out  in  the  mining  districts  of 
Colorado  where  he  invested  in  mines.  Dr.  Holcombe  often  vis- 
ited the  place  of  his  birth, f  and  when  there  the  last  time  he  at- 
tended the  County  Fair  where  he  offered  prizes  for  the  best 
house-keeping  and  the  best  bread-making.  I  do  not  think  he  had 
any  idea  that  his  end  was  so  near.  A  week  before  his  death  he  had 
been  forced  to  find  for  himself  new  and  strange  quarters.     The 

proved  a  charming  and  most  reliable  friend  in  all  the  vicissitudes  of  life, 
especially  to  those  of  her  own  sex.  Denied  the  privileges  of  maternity,  her 
heart  went  out  to  all,  both  young  and  old,  and  many  a  wayward  youth  was  ben- 
efited by  her  counsel  and  watchful  care.  Unlike  as  were  her  tastes  and  tem- 
perament to  those  of  her  husband,  she  was  always  shoulder  to  shoulder  with 
him  in  her  spirit  of  helpfulness  and  consideration  for  others,  and  in  that 
catholicity  of  spirit  which  could  render  such  service  without  prejudice  or  re- 
luctance. To  her  friends  hers  will  be  a  blessed  memory.  She  died  several 
years  before  her  husband. —  H.  R.  S. 

*  It  is  not  exactly  known  to  what  degree  of  perfection  he  had  brought  this 
work  of  his  life.  That  he  was  persistent  and  indefatigable  in  research,  we 
know,  but  whether  with  his  peculiar  temperament  and  habits  he  possessed  that 
"  relentless  objectivity  "  which  is  necessary  for  the  elaboration  and  ultimate 
completion  of  such  a  work,  we  are  doubtful.  The  results  of  his  labors,  how- 
ever, have  been  committed  by  his  desire  to  the  custody  of  the  Connecticut  His- 
torical Society  at  Hartford,  bv  whose  able  librarian,  we  understand,  they  are  to 
be  edited  for  publication. —  H.  R.  S. 

t  Sterling,  Mass.,  where  the  ashes  of  his  remains  were  buried.  He  wrote, 
several  years  ago,  a  history  of  that  town,  which  was  to  have  been,  but  never 
has  been,  published  by  the  town. — H.  R.  S.

weather  was  intensely  cold  and  he  was  much  exposed  in  the 
moving.*  I  saw  him  after  he  was  in  the  hospital,  twice,  and  he 
seemed  strong  and  hopeful  and  did  not  expect  an  operation. 
When  I  called  again  the  operation  had  taken  place  and  it  was 
said  that  he  was  unconscious;  when  once  again  1  called  he  had 
passed  away,  on  March  17,  1904.  The  funeral  took  place  the  20th 
of  March,  at  3  p.  m.,  in  the  chapel  of  the  Presbyterian  Hospital 
where  a  great  crowd  of  people,  more  than  the  chapel  would  hold, 
assembled  to  do  honor  to  one  whom  they  loved  and  respected. 
After  the  service  was  concluded,  his  remains  were  taken  away  to 
be  cremated  according  to  his  request.  We  shall  miss  him  in  the 
street,  in  our  houses,  at  our  gatherings.  Few  men  leave  so  many 
friends  behind  them,  people  to  whom  his  memory  will  be  prec- 
ious in  years  to  come." 

We  have  spoken  of  Dr.  Holcombe  in  the  beginning  of  this 
memorial,  as  one  of  the  founders  of  our  Society,  at  its  inception 
Feb.  27,  1869.  It  is  elsewhere  recorded  \  that  "  at  its  second  and 
third  meetings,  the  infant  organization  found  itself  at  home  with 
Dr.  Holcombe,  No.  54  East  25th  Street,  a  position  more  conven- 
ient of  general  access  than  its  original  birth-place.  Dr.  Hol- 
combe was  par  excellence  the  Foster  Father  of  this  Society.  In 
the  genial  atmosphere  of  his  helpful  presence,  and  in  his  spacious 
consulting  room,  the  Society's  education  and  the  formation  of  its 
character  was  begun."  Early  in  its  history  he,  with  the  writer 
of  this  note,  elaborated  a  very  complete  and  useful  chart  designed 
to  aid  students  of  family  history  in  compiling  their  ancestral 
records,  which  was  adopted  and  for  many  years  used  by  the 
Society;  and  his  constant  and  helpful  presence  at  all  its  subse- 
quent meetings,  down  to  the  time  of  his  death,  was  an  unmistak- 
able evidence  of  his  interest  in  the  Society's  welfare.

*  There  had  been  nothing  in  the  Doctor's  looks  to  portend  such  a  speedy 
ending  even  though  he  had  reached  his  seventy-eighth  year.  But  through  one 
of  those  strange  fatalities  that  have  seemingly  a  tinge  of  irony  about  them, 
the  authorities  of  the  very  city  he  loved  so  well  were  the  cause  of  his  death. 
For  a  number  of  years  he  had  had  his  rooms  at  78  Lexington  Avenue,  in  the 
block  lately  demolished  to  make  room  for  an  Armory,  and  with  a  cruel  haste 
and  official  indifference  to  the  life  of  so  aged  a  man,  the  house  was,  it  might 
almost  be  said,  pulled  down  upon  his  head  and  shoulders.

248  An   Unpublished  Letter  of  President  Monroe.  [Oct., 


AN  UNPUBLISHED  LETTER  OF  PRESIDENT  MONROE. 


100  Washington  St., 

Chicago,  June  23,  1904. 
Mr.  Editor: 

It  occurs  to  me  that  the  publication  at  this  time  of  a  letter 
from  James  Monroe  to  Chancellor  Robert  R.  Livingston,  which 
I  give  you  below,  would  be  of  particular  interest  as  it  indirectly 
bears  upon  the  subject  of  the  Louisiana  Purchase,  made  prom- 
inent at  this  time  by  the  Exposition  now  in  progress  at  St.  Louis. 
The  letter  is  one  from  family  papers  in  my  possession,  and,  as 
far  as  I  know,  has  never  been  published. 

It  has  been  sometimes  intimated  that  there  was  a  little  friction 
between  Livingston  and  Monroe  on  the  matter  of  the  purchase 
of  Louisiana  territory,  because  Monroe  had  been  added  to  the 
representaton  of  the  United  States  at  the  court  of  France  at  a 
late  date  in  the  negotiations.  He  arrived  there  after  the  negoti- 
ations had  been  practically  completed,  Livingston  having  carried 
them  through  without  any  aid  from  Monroe,  who  arrived  at  the 
scene  in  time  to  affix  his  signature  to  the  final  document,  and 
which  was  spread  along  lines  already  agreed  upon  by  Livings- 
ton's negotiations.  The  cordiality  of  this  letter,  and  its  tone  of 
respect  and  trust,  ought  to  forever  set  at  rest  the  question  of  any 
jealousies  existing  between  the  two  statesmen.  With  this  in 
view,  I  send  it  to  you  for  publication  if  you  think  it  would  inter- 
est your  readers.  Yours  very  respectfully, 

Fred.  M.  Steele. 

"  Phila.,  May  9,  1792 
Dear  Sir: 

I  intended  to  have  written  you  this  morning  more  fully,  but 
the  presence  of  several  visitants  have  prevented  it. 

I  need  not  mention  to  you  that  the  favorable  inclination  of 
the  President  to  yr.  mission  to  France  is  seconded  and  wished 
by  the  republican  interest  here.  You  would  of  course  conclude 
this,  and  that  yr.  acceptance  is  earnestly  desired  as  it  will  put  us 
at  ease  with  respect  to  our  ally  and  with  an  arrangement  in  wh. 
in  every  view  we  are  deeply  interested. 

What  will  be  the  consequence  of  yr  refusal  we  know  not,  you 
know  very  well  the  difficulty  of  succeeding  in  a  republican  nom- 
ination at  all.  Some  will  probably  decline  if  nominated,  others 
in  the  course  of  political  transactions  have  created  irritation 
and  will  not  be  thought  of,  so  that  what  may  be  the  effect  of 
your  declining  cannot  be  perceived.  I  therefore  hope  you  will 
accept  if  any  way  compatable  with  those  arrangements  formed 
for  the  welfare  of  yr  family  and  yr  own  permanent  tranquility. 
The  Honorable  Sincerely  I  am  yr  friend, 

Robt.  R.  Livingston,  Jas.  Monroe.

JOHN    YOUNG  OF    EASTHAM,    MASS.,    AND   SOME    OF 
HIS  DESCENDANTS. 


By  Mrs.  George  Wilson  Smith,  New  York. 


Enlarged  and  Arranged  by  Homer  W.  Urainard.  Hartford.  Conn. 


For  the  early  generations  the  records  existing  in  the  towns  on 
Cape  Cod  from  Chatham  to  Provincetown  have  been  searched, 
and  their  deficiences  have  been  to  some  extent  made  good  by  the 
County  probate  records  at  Barnstable.  That  the  result  is  not 
wholly  satisfactory  is  due  to  the  incompleteness  of  the  records. 

1.  John  '  Young,  b. ,  at ;  d.  Jan.  29,  1690-1,  at  East- 
ham,  Mass.  He  evidently  came  to  Plymouth,  Mass.,  when  a 
young  man,  and  m.  there  Dec.  13,  1648,  Abigail,  dau.  of  Henry 
Howland,  and  niece,  it  is  supposed,  of  Pilgrim  John  Howland. 
She  d.  April  7,  1692,  at  Eastham.  The  will  of  Henry  Howland's 
widow,  dated  May  26,  1674,  mentions  her  dau.  Abigail  Young. 
The  English  home  of  John  '  Young  is  at  present  unknown.  Sir 
John  Young  of  Devonshire,  England,  received  with  others  on 
March  19,  1627-8,  a  grant  from  the  Plymouth  Council  of  a  tract 
of  land  three  miles  north  of  the  Merrimac  River  and  three  miles 
south  of  the  Charles  River.  He  had  a  son  John  Young,  Jr.,  but 
it  is  not  known  that  the  son  was  the  same  man  as  John  Young  of 
Eastham,  probably  not. 

The  will  of  John  Young  of  Eastham,  mentions  wife  Abigail, 
three  daughters  (but  does  not  give  their  names),  and  six  sons. 
It  was  dated  Feb.  19,  1688,  and  proved  April  22,  1691.  The  nun- 
cupative will  of  Abigail  Young  was  deposed  toby  Joseph  Young, 
her  son,  and  others,  April  19,  1692.

A  GENEALOGICAL  CHART  OF  1677. 


Contributed  by  H.  Calkins,  Jr. 

In  his  father's  chateau,  "Bindervelt,"  which  stands  in  a  small 
town  of  the  same  name  near  Saint  Trond,  Belguim,  about  twenty- 
five  miles  east  of  Brussels  as  the  crow  flies,  was  born  March  2  2d, 
1822,  Benoit  Amour  Symphorien  De  Succa.  His  direct  ancestors 
for  six  generations  held  the  seigneuries  of  Bindervelt,  Bouverie, 
Roykem,  Flines,  Derken,  Debrue,  Willecom  and  Libertange  in 
Belgium,  the  Barony  of  Condette  in  the  Boullonais  and  the  title 
of  "Baron  De  Succa"  from  the  Belgian  Crown.  The  family 
originated  in  Piedmont,  which  belonged  to  the  House  of  Savoy, 
and  for  generations  papers  and  documents  were  handed  down 
from  father  to  son,  among  which  was  an  old  parchment  genealogy 
of  the  family.  The  accompanying  illustration  is  a  photographic 
reproduction  of  this  chart  made  by  the  writer  of  this  article, 
and  inserted  here  through  the  generosity  and  courtesy  of  Rev. 
M.  E.  Dwight,  editor  of  this  journal. 

The  parchment  was  designed  and  executed  in  1677,  and  has 
come  down  to  the  present  generation  of  the  De  Succa  family  in 
a  condition  quite  remarkable.  The  length  from  top  to  bottom  is 
three  feet  ten  inches  and  the  width  two  feet  three  inches  in  the 
broadest  part.  Its  contents  record  the  history  of  the  De  Succa 
family,  generation  by  generation,  from  11S9  to  about  1730,  and 
the  compiler  has  quoted  old  manuscripts  and  histories  that  were 
recently  destroyed  in  the  Turin  Library  fire,  and  has  supported 
his  statements  with  references  to  old  records  still  in  existence. 

In  the  center  of  the  upper  margin  is  a  crude  oil  painting,  six 
by  eight  inches,  representing  a  man  and  a  woman  in  the  cos- 
tumes of  Piedmontese  nobles  of  the  middle  ages,  and  behind 
them  an  Italian  landscape  with  their  castle  in  the  distance.  The 
rectangle  beneath  it  contains  a  history  of  the  Piedmontese  pro- 
genitor of  the  family,  Guido  De  Succa,  and  the  following  rectan- 
gles set  forth  the  records  of  his  descendants,  generation  by  gen- 
eration. 

The  upper  left  hand  oval,  surrounded  by  a  blue  and  buff 
scroll  and  surmounted  by  the  arms  of  the  elder  branch  of  the 
family,  contains  a  "  Description  "  or  general  history  of  the  "  tres 
noble  famille  De  Succa,"  with  a  list  of  the  titles  and  estates  in 
Italy  and  Belgium,  and  the  honors  held  by  its  various  members. 
The  upper  right  hand  oval  in  a  red  and  buff  scroll,  with  the  arms 
of  the  younger  branch,  contains  a  dedication  to  "  Monsieur  Benoit 
De  Succa,  Escuyer,  Seigneur  de  Bouverie,  etca.,"  dated  Brussels, 
10th  July,  1677,  and  signed  "  E.  Flacchio,  (Genealogist  to  His 
Majesty,"  (The  Archduke  Albert?)  who  compiled  and  executed 
the  chart  in  that  year.  -Both  of  the  scrolls  and  arms  are  painted 
in  oil  by  a  hand  that  manifestly  did  not  belong  to  one  of  the  old 
masters. 


1904.]  A  Genealogical  Chart  of  1677.  267 

This  Benoit  De  Succa,  ancestor  of  the  "symphonious  "  Benoit, 
was  married  in  June,  1677,  to  Lady  de  Bleville,  daughter  of  the 
Baron  of  Condette  in  the  Boullonais,  and  from  the  fact  that  the 
parchment  is  addressed  to  him  in  July  of  the  same  year,  it  seems 
to  have  been  designed  and  compiled  by  the  royal  genealogist  in 
celebration  of  that  event.  Be  that  as  it  may,  the  chart  shows  an 
immense  amount  of  labor  carefully  performed,  and  the  crudeness 
of  the  painting  is  the  chief  of  its  charms. 

The  histories  of  the  descendants  of  Guido  de  Succa,  recorded 
m  the  separate  rectangles,  are  accompanied  by  the  family  arms 
of  each  of  the  name,  and  of  the  persons  taken  in  marriage;  an 
oval  shield  for  the  women,  and  an  ordinary  shield  for  the  men. 
These  "armoiries,"  each  one  inch  in  length,  are  painted  in  their 
proper  armorial  colors  and  give  to  the  chart  a  striking  and  var- 
iegated appearance.  The  rectangles  are  bordered  in  red,  ar- 
ranged in  rows  according  to  generations,  and  the  writing  is  in 
French,  remarkably  legible  to  the  naked  eye,  except  in  a  few 
places  where  salt  water  stains  have  faded  it  or  holes  in  the 
parchment  have  obliterated  it  entirely.  At  times  the  phraseol- 
ogy is  quaint  and  curious;  at  others  the  narrative  is  confined  to 
the  mere  data  of  vital  statistics. 

We  are  accustomed  to  pedigree  charts  arranged  in  the  form 
of  a  tree  with  branches  and  leaves,  or  in  some  geometrical  mod- 
ification of  that  plan.  These  usually  contain  only  the  names  and 
dates  of  ancestors  and  descendants,  and  have  been  compiled 
within  the  last  half  century.  The  chart  under  discussion  is  quite 
unusual  and  therefore  unique,  made  so  by  its  arrangement,  its 
crude  painting,  its  multiciplicity  of  armorial  designs  in  color  and 
the  fullness  of  most  of  its  records,  some  of  which  are  so  closely 
written  that  a  literal  translation  often  occupies  more  than  a  page 
of  an  ordinary  blank  book.  The  shields  belonging  to  those  who 
entered  the  service  of  the  Church  are  embellished  with  the  in- 
signia of  their  offices  and  some  of  them  are  quite  curious. 

It  is  not  the  intention  of  this  article  to  present  a  genealogy  of 
the  De  Succa  family,  but  to  describe  a  curious  and  genuine  old 
parchment  that  has  practically  had  but  one  abiding  place  for  two 
hundred  and  more  years, — the  chateau  of  Bindervelt.  However, 
a  brief  outline  of  the  family  translated  from  the  chart  may  be  of 
interest,  and  some  of  the  curious  passages  seem  worthy  of  com- 
ment. 

Guido  De  Succa,  the  first  of  the  name,  "  Seigneur  of  Forelli 
in  the  County  of  Asti,  Principality  of  Piedmont,  was  chief  senator 
and  councillor  of  Thomas,  Count  of  Savoy."  In  1189  he  was  sent 
on  an  embassy  to  Frederic  Barbarossa,  Emperor  of  Germany,  to 
negociate  a  league  of  the  petty  principalities  of  northern  Italy, 
which  at  that  time  were  almost  constantly  at  war  with  each 
other.  For  this  service  he  was  created  "  Chevalier"  by  Frederic, 
with  whom  he  went  on  the  ill-fated  crusade  to  Palestine  and 
died  in  121 1,  "leaving  behind  him  in  writing  a  beautiful  manu- 
script of  the  wars  conducted  in  the  Holy  Land,  preserved  in  the 
library  of  His  Highness  of  Savoy."  His  only  son,  Horace,  was 
"  reared  from  his  youth  "  at  the  court  of  Amaury  de  Luzignan, 


268  A   Genealogical  Chart  of  1677.  [Oct., 

King  of  Cyprus,  where  his  father  left  him  during  his  absence  in 
the  Holy  Land.  He  served  the  King  of  Cyprus  as  "  Proto-Sec- 
retary  "  but  returned  to  Piedmont  on  the  death  of  his  father  and 
succeeded  to  the  estate  of  Forelli.  He  must  have  had  some 
lands  in  Cyprus  as  well,  for  it  is  recorded  of  one  of  his  descend- 
ants five  generations  later  that  he  "  made  a  journey  to  Cyprus  to 
sell  some  lands  of  his  ancestors  there."  By  a  second  marriage 
Horace  secured  the  "  chateau  and  seigneurie  of  Tente  near  Cas- 
telnovo,"  the  capital  of  the  County  of  Asti.  His  son,  Ascanie, 
"  made  homage  in  1272  to  Ame\  Count  of  Savoy  "  for  these  lands 
"which  he  held  in  fief  from  him"  in  addition  to  the  estates  of 
Forelli.  He  married  Laura  Muzani  and  founded  with  his  wife 
in  the  year  1284  in  the  church  of  Forelli  a  chapel  to  St.  Anthony. 
His  son  Anthoine  "had  a  difficulty"  with  the  Abbe  of  Montelu- 
cino  over  some  woodlands  lying  between  Forelli  and  that  place 
which  a  former  Count  of  Savoy  had  granted  to  the  monks  of 
Montelucino.  The  Prior  of  the  Chartreuse  of  Pavia  was  called 
in  as  referee  and  the  "  difficulty  "  was  amicably  settled  by  the 
signing  of  a  deed  dated  "  the  Monday  following  the  Sabbath  on 
which  they  sang  the  Laetare  of  Jerusalem  in  the  year  1291." 
Perhaps  a  plentiful  pouring  of  the  cordial  had  something  to  do 
with  the  amicable  outcome  of  the  occasion. 

The  second  generation  from  Ascanie  was  the  first  which  pro- 
duced two  sons  who  grew  to  the  dignity  of  heads  of  families. 
The  elder  son  of  Anthoine  inherited  the  estates  of  Forelli  and 
founded  a  branch  of  the  family  known  by  that  name;  the  younger 
succeeded  to  the  title  and  estates  of  Tente  and  founded  a  second 
line,  the  Chevalier  Seigneurs  of  Tente.  The  Forelli  branch  re- 
tained the  original  arms,  composed  of  a  blue  field,  a  white  chief 
and  a  gourd  in  natural  color,  with  a  crest  composed  of  a  mailed 
arm  brandishing  a  sword.  This  line  remained  in  Piedmont,  but 
a  part  of  the  estates  passed  into  the  Borghelli  family  by  the  mar- 
riage of  a  De  Succa  heiress  three  generations  later,  and  thence 
to  the  Agnano  family  when  it  was  erected  to  a  marquisate  by 
the  Duke  of  Savoy  in  1643.  The  other  part  remained  in  the  pos- 
session of  the  De  Succa  family  in  Piedmont  several  generations 
longer  and  finally  became  extinct  through  the  failure  of  issue. 
They  served  the  House  of  Savoy  in  civil,  military  and  social 
capacities,  and  some  of  them  entered  the  Church.  Among  these, 
one  died  in  the  chartreuse  monastery  at  the  advanced  age  of  103 
years;  another  was  called  "The  Good,  because  he  gave  away  all 
his  lands  to  the  poor;"  and  a  third  became  Bishop  of  Nice  under 
Pope  Paul  III. 

The  arms  of  the  younger  branch,  the  Chevalier  Seigneurs  of 
Tente  and  Tasserolle,  were  the  same  as  the  elder  except  the 
field  which  was  changed  to  red,  and  the  crest  which  consisted  of 
a  moor  holding  a  gourd  extended.  This  line  remained  in  Pied- 
mont a  few  generations  and  then  went  to  Flanders,  now  Bel- 
gium. In  Italy  it  sent  to  the  J  louse  of  Savoy  gentlemen-of-the- 
chamber,  councillors,  maids-of-honor  and  regimental  officers  in 
the  wars  that  were  waged  almost  constantly  with  the  petty 
principalities,  the  Sforzas,  the  Viscontis  and  the  Dukes  of  Milan. 


'9°4]  A  Genealogical  Chart  of  J677.  269 

Guillaume,  grandson  of  Anthoine,  was  surnamed  "The  Immor- 
tal "  He  was  "  one  of  the  most  valorous  Chevaliers  of  his  time," 
and  died  in  the  year  1436,  aged  116  years.  He  had  a  sister  an 
abbess  of  the  third  order  of  St.  Francis  who  built  at  her  own  ex- 
pense "a  beautiful  monastry  at  Asti,"  which  was  standing  in 
1677.  His  son  Guillaume  was  surnamed  "The  Rich  Seigneur  of 
Tente  "  because  his  estates  yielded  more  than  600  gold  ducats 
annually  (about  $1200).  These  estates  were  divided  by  his 
grandsons,  the  elder  retaining  the  Seigneurie  of  Tente,  the 
younger,  Jean  Odon,  the  Seigneurie  of  Tasserolle. 

Piedmont  was  a  part  of  the  domain  of  the  powerful  and  royal 
house  of  Savoy,  where  its  Dukes  held  sway  with  as  lordly  and 
absolute  power  as  any  monarch  of  a  larger  realm.  Its  friendship 
was  sought  by  Kings  and  Emperors  particularly  when  they  had 
a  quarrel  of  large  proportions  on  their  hands,  and  so  it  was  that 
Maximillian  I,  Emperor  of  Germany,  secured  the  assistance  of 
Italian  regiments  in  quelling  the  revolt  of  Flanders  in  the  six- 
teenth century  against  his  attempt  to  establish  his  four-year-old 
son,  Philip  of  Burgundy,  as  ruler  there.  At  the  head  of  one  of 
these  regiments  went  Guillaume  De  Succa,  Seigneur  of  Tasserolle 
in  Piedmont,  son  of  Jean  Odon  De  Succa  above.  He  was  Gentle- 
man-of-the-Chamber  to  the  Duke  of  Savoy,  but  having  married 
in  Flanders  "  Lady  Jeanne  de  Voorde,  heiress  of  Distelberghen 
near  Ghent,"  he  sold  his  estate  in  Piedmont  and  took  his  family 
to  Flanders  about  1535,  where  he  became  Sergeant-Major  of 
Ghent  by  appointment  of  the  Emperor  Charles  V  "  of  glorious 
memory."  A  Sergeant-Major  of  the  sixteenth  century  had  the 
charge  and  leadership  of  the  troops  maintained  for  the  defense 
of  the  city,  and  the  appointment  was  made  for  life  from  among 
the  old  officers  of  the  nobility.  Guillaume  De  Succa  was  living 
in  1587  and  his  portrait  as  Sergeant-Major  of  Ghent,  painted  by 
Van  der  Schelden,  hangs  in  the  Library  of  that  town.  He  had 
a  brother  Oddon,  who  was  taken  prisoner  in  the  Transylvania 
War  of  1594  by  the  Sultan  of  Turkey,  and  "died  in  prison  aged 
eighty  years,"  having  been  incarcerated  at  least  forty  years. 
There  is  a  curious  record  about  this  affair  which  states  that 
"  Polixdne  De  Succa  disguised  herself  in  the  dress  of  a  man  and 
went  to  Turkey  to  effect  the  deliverance  of  her  brother;  but  be- 
ing recognized  as  a  woman  and  one  of  the  most  beautiful  of  her 
century,  was  taken  for  Sultana  by  Mahomet,  III  of  the  name, 
Emperor  of  Turkey."  So  the  Sultan  got  both  the  brother  and 
the  sister,  yet  the  imprisonment  continued;  from  which  we  must 
infer  that  the  said  Polix£ne  either  made  her  journey  shortly  be- 
fore her  brother's  death  or  else  forgot  the  purpose  of  it  during 
the  honeymoon. 

A  half-brother  Jean  also  went  to  live  in  Flanders  where  he 
attained  the  distinction  of  being  "the  richest  man  of  his  time, 
having  often  loaned  His  Majesty  sums  of  300,000  florins."  His 
Majesty  at  that  time  was  Charles  V  "of  glorious  memory,"  who 
was  proverbially  "  hard-up,"  finally  abdicated  his  thrones  and 
died  insane  in  the  Monastery  of  Yuste  in  Spain. 

Guillaume  De  Succa's  eldest  son  Guillaume  inherited  from  his 


2  "JO  A  Genealogical  Chart  of  1677.  [Oct., 

mother  the  fief  of  Distelberghen  near  Ghent,  which  consisted  of 
an  estate  and  chateau,  known  later  by  the  name  "  Succa-Kasteel " 
or  Chateau  De  Succa.  The  name  is  still  used  there  but  the  orig- 
inal castle  has  been  replaced  by  a  later  structure.  He  was  cre- 
ated Chevalier  of  the  order  of  St.  Pierre  d'Alcantara  by  Pope 
Gregory  XIII  at  Rome  in  1572.  In  the  struggle  of  the  Nether- 
lands against  Philip  II  of  Spain  and  his  despotic  governor,  the 
Duke  of  Alva,  he  espoused  the  cause  of  the  Prince  of  Orange  and 
fought  with  him.  This  struggle,  it  will  be  remembered,  resulted 
in  the  erection  of  the  northern  provinces  into  the  Dutch  Repub- 
lic, and  the  lower  provinces,  including  Flanders,  into  Belgium, 
which  remained  under  Spanish  rule  until  1598,  when  Philip  II 
ceded  it  to  his  daughter  Isabella,  wife  of  the  Archduke  Albert, 
and  then  became  an  independent  kingdom.  For  his  part  in  the 
struggle  against  the  Spanish  rule,  Guillaume  was  deprived  of  his 
estates  of  Distelberghen,  and  after  the  assination  of  the  Prince  of 
Orange  he  retired  to  Li6ge  where  he  erected  a  tomb  in  the  church 
of  St.  Thomas,  and  several  generations  of  his  descendants  are 
buried  there  to  this  day. 

His  son  Benoit,  grandfather  of  the  Benoit  to  whom  the  parch- 
ment is  dedicated  "was  licensed  in  theology  and  law,  and  was  a 
man  of  great  energy,  having  traveled  over  nearly  all  of  Europe." 
He  married  in  1599,  Marie  Pally  of  Piedmontese  ancestry,  heiress 
of  Bouverie,  Roykem  and  Willecom,  and  so  retrieved  his  fallen 
fortunes.  He  had  a  daughter,  Marie,  who  was  "  remarkable  for 
her  erudition  and  learning  in  mathematics  and  music."  She 
published  several  works  in  Latin,  died  at  the  age  of  twenty-six, 
and  had  the  distinction  of  being  described  a  rara  virgo  in  an 
epitaph  consecrated  to  her  at  Liege,  in  the  parochial  church  of 
St.  Thomas. 

Benoit  De  Succa,  grandson  of  Benoit  above  and  the  one  to 
whom  the  parchment  is  dedicated,  was  Chevalier  Siegneur  of 
Bouverie,  Roykem,  Willecom  and  Derken.  He  married  in  1677, 
Marie  Madelaine,  daughter  of  Michel  De  Maulde,  Baron  of  Con- 
dette  in  the  Boullonais,  whose  title  and  estates  were  inherited  by 
Benoit  De  Succa's  great-grandson  Robert  Joseph,  who  also  in- 
herited the  fiefs  of  Bindervelt  and  Libertange  from  his  mother, 
a  Spanish  heiress,  whose  ancestor  went  to  Belgium  as  Chamber- 
lain and  Secretary  to  the  Archdukes  Albert  and  Isabella. 

From  this  time  on  the  family  lived  at  "  Bindervelt,"  and  the 
titles  and  estates  were  handed  down  from  father  to  son  for  six 
generations,  from  Benoit  De  Succa  of  1677,  to  Benoit  Amour 
Symphorien  De  Succa,  born  there  in  1822;  and  the  family  papers, 
among  which  was  the  parchment  genealogy,  came  to  Mrs.  Sophie 
De  Succa  Sewell,  daughter  of  the  last  Benoit,  and  mother  of  the 
writer's  wife.  The  other  documents,  some  of  which  are  much 
older,  have  been  deposited  in  the  Museum  at  Brussels  where  there 
are  some  old  portraits  by  Rubens.  The  Parchment  is  still  the 
property  of  Mrs.  Sewell,  but  the  writer  of  this  article  took  ad- 
vantage of  its  brief  sojourn  in  this  country  to  photograph  it, 
translate  it,  and  further  preserve  it  by  means  of  a  traced  copy 
painted  likewise  on  parchment.

EDITORIAL. 


One  is  inclined  to  look  askance  at  a  genealogy  in  Dutch,  for  there  are  not 
many  who  find  that  language  easy  reading.  Yet  because  of  the  general  lack 
of  information  among  people  of  Dutch  descent  concerning  their  transatlantic 
forefathers,  it  seems  very  desirable  to  avail  one's  self  of  every  authentic  record, 
although  some  difficulties  attend  the  effort.  To  those  who  can  read  even  a 
little  Dutch,  we  recommend  Mr.  Elias'  book,  The  Patriciate  of  Amsterdam. 
The  families  treated  of  were  among  the  most  prominent  of  their  day,  the  gov- 
erning class,  with  whom  political  power  was  practically  an  inheritance.  It  is 
interesting,  in  comparing  them,  to  find  the  same  names  prominent  in  America 
to-day,  some  having  been  influential  throughout  our  history. 


It  now  appears  improbable  that  any  adequate  legislation  can  be  obtained 
looking  to  the  securing  of  the  ancient  records  which  in  every  county  of  the 
State  are  lying  exposed  to  the  danger  of  destruction  from  fire,  or  theft,  or  simple 
carlessness.  Since  their  preservation,  therefore,  must  needs  be  left  to  the  pro- 
tection of  their  present  guardians — if  such  a  responsible  word  can  be  applied 
to  those  who  hold  them — it  behooves  those  who,  knowing  their  exceeding 
value,  are  interested  in  their  preservation,  and  especially  the  members  of  the 
New  York  Genealogical  and  Biographical  Society,  to  do  what  they  can  to  miti- 
gate the  consequences  of  their  destruction.  Something  perhaps  may  be  done 
in  the  way  of  obtaining  possession  of  the  records  themselves  and  placing  them 
under  the  guardianship  of  the  State,  or  of  our  own  Society,  but  for  the  most 
part  only  copies  of  these  records  can  be  secured  for  safe  keeping.  In  such  a 
work  it  is  fitting  that  our  Society  should  take  the  lead. 

Were  it  possible  to  find  suitable  men  in  the  several  counties  of  the  State 
who  were  interested  in  this  work,  and  who  would  be  willing  to  act  as  co-workers 
with  our  Society  much  might  be  done  in  this  direction.  Without  their  assist- 
ance, however,  it  is  evident  little  can  be  accomplished,  for  our  members  are 
almost  exclusively  residents  of  New  York  City  and  the  vicinity.  The  editor 
lately  has  felt  the  need  of  the  assistance  of  those  living  at  a  distance  from  the 
City.  His  attention  had  been  called  to  the  ancient  church  records  in  the  Mo- 
hawk Valley,  particularly  those  of  the  German  Lutheran  churches  in  Mont- 
gomery County,  and  he  has  been  hindered  in  his  efforts  to  obtain  certain  copies 
of  the  same  for  publication  in  the  Record  through  ignorance  of  the  proper 
parties  to  correspond  with. 

Perhaps  it  would  be  well  for  our  Society  to  revive  the  order  of  Corresponding 
Members.  At  one  time  we  had  such,  but  the  honor  was  conferred  indiscrim- 
inately and  the  inefficiency  of  many  of  those  selected  led  to  the  dropping  of 
this  class  of  members  upon  the  revision  of  the  constitution.  Yet  such  a  body, 
if  wisely  chosen,  would  be  of  much  assistance  in  obtaining  copies  of  valuable 
records,  as  well  as  in  other  directions  of  effort,  and  without  them  we  see  not  how 
progress  in  certain  ways  can  be  achieved. 


The  following  Editorial  from  the  New  York  Evening  Mail  deals  so  ably 
and  practically  with  a  subject  in  which  the  Record  is  deeply  interested  that 
we  gladly  give  it  a  place  in  our  magazine.  Now  that  the  daily  press  is 
putting  its  shoulder  to  the  genealogical  wheel,  we  trust  that  even  the   U.  S. 


1904.]  Obituary.  289 

Government  may  no  longer  ignore  a  subject  which  is  rapidly  growing  more 
interesting  to  Americans.  If  instead  of  printing  a  griii  m.ivs  of  absolutely 
useless  Congressional  records  the  government  would  publish  in  a  convenient 
form  for  reference  the  records  referred  to  in  the  Evening  Mail  editorial, 
some  one  at  least  would  be  benefitted. 

"There  is  a  National  Genealo  t-ty  in  this  country,  the  purpose  of 

which  is  not  .it  all  to  interest  people  in  the  study  of  genealogy,  but  to  further 
inquiries  of  the  tens  of  thousands  of  Americans  who  have  a  keen  interest  in 
their  ancestry,  \>  1  ording  to  the  views  of  the  gentlemen  who  control  this  so- 
ciety,  one  thing  is  chiefly  needful  for  its  purposes,  and  that  is  to  get  Congress 
to  print  Revolutionary  pension  and  land  records  and  other  historical  data. 
Genealogy  everywhere,  and  nowhere  more  than  in  this  country,  is  a  science  of 
digging  and  grubbing.  The  more  its  material  is  scattered  and  unedited,  the 
h.ir  lei  is  its  t.i-k.  \  ery  little  such  material  has  bun  got  together  systematic- 
ally in  this  country.  The  straightener-out  of  a  tangle  of  descent  may  have  to 
visit  on  a  single  errand  a  dozen  country  towns  and  burrow  through  many  old 
books  of  ill-kept  records.  In  some  cases  public  records  have  passed  into  pri- 
vate hands,  and  even  to  find  where  they  are  is  a  laborious  task.  We  say  that 
it  is  not  now  necessarv  to  stimulate  interest  in  genealogy,  because  practically 
every  American  has  the  interest.  It  might  be  well,  however,  if  this  national 
society  could  do  something  to  instruct  all  these  eat  e,  anxious  to  trace 

their  line  straight  to  "emigrant,"  in  some  of  the  foundation  principles  of  the 
science.  With  many  people  a  mere  bald  assertion  is  enough.  They  will  ac- 
cept the  ready  assurance  of  some  genealogical  fakir,  pay  him  his  fee,  and  then 
grow  furious  when  the  doors  of  Revolutionary  or  other  societies  are  not  flung 
open  to  them.  They  believe  in  any  sort  of  a  genealogical  fairy  story  that  is 
told  them  on  the  street.  They  make  a  halfway  inquiry  on  their  own  behalf 
somewhere,  and  then  proceed  to  live  in  a  fool's  paradise  of  effected  gentility. 
They  know  what  they  are  after,  but  do  not  know  how  to  get  it. 

The  purpose  of  all  honest  American  genealogy  is  not  to  figure  out  the 
right  to  decorate  one's  note  paper  with  a  crest,  but  to  trace  one's  lineage 
through  an  honorable  succession  of  farmers,  yeoman  and  artificers,  with  per- 
haps a  patriotic  soldier  or  a  faithful  public  servant  somewhere  in  the  list.  It  is 
a  better  ambition  than  the  Old  World  hankering  to  push  and  squeeze  one's  line 
of  descent  so  that  somewhere  it  shall  come  into  contact  with  a  coronet.  It  is 
no  vanitv  in  an  American  to  wish  to  know  that  his  roots  strike  deep  down  into 
good  American  soil.  True  American  genealogy  is  as  far  removed  from  tuft- 
hunting  as  possible.  The  inquiry  generally  carries  one  back  to  the  spade  and 
the  hoe.  So  much  the  better.  One's  family  tree  had  the  better  chance  for  this 
of  possessing  a  root  worth  shooting  up  from." 


OBITUARY. 


John  Van  Schaick  Lansing  Pruyn,  a  life  member  of  the  New  York 
Genealogical  and  Hiocraphical  Society,  died  in  New  York  Citv,  Sept.  22,  1004. 
A  more  extended  obituary  will  appear  in  the  next  issue  of  the  Record. 


Dvckman,  Francis  Hamii  ton,  died  at  his  home  in  Orange,  N,  !..  May 
9,  IQ04,  after  a  brief  illness.  On  his  father's  side  he  was  of  sturdy  Dutch  and 
English  ancestrv  [Ante.  Vol,  \\.  pp.  23,90),  being  of  the  seventh  cent-ration  in 
the  line  of  Ian  '  and  Rebecca  (Waldron)  Dyckman,  Jacob'  and  lannctie  (Kicr- 
Dyckman,  Jacob*  and  Catalina  (Benson]  Dyckman,  Garrett  *  and  fohanna 
(Odell)  Dyckman,  Jacob  Garrett*  and  Mary  (Preswick)  Dvckman  and  William 
Henry*  and  Naomi  Frances  (Mackenzie)  Dvckman.  His  mother,  born  at 
Inverness,  Scotland,  was  the  daughter  of  James  and  Eliza  Mackenzie.  She 
was  an  earnest  and  public  spirited  Christian  woman. 

Francis  Hamilton  Dyckman  was  born  Nov.  11,  t8sQ,  at  Orange,  N.  J., 
where  his  parents  had  lived  for  nearlv  half  a  centurv.  When  a  young  man  he 
went  West  where  he  began  his  business  career  and  by  means  of  close  applica-

tion  and  good  judgment  soon  made  his  way.  When  but  little  more  than  twenty 
years  ot  age,  he  established  the  State  Bank  at  Sleepy  Eye,  Minn.,  and  after- 
ward became  its  President.  He  also  identified  himself  with  the  flour  milling 
industry  of  the  place  and  was  eminently  successful.  His  activities  were  not, 
however,  confined  to  commercial  life;  he  was  always  alive  to  the  interests  of 
his  fellow  townsmen  and  ready  to  lend  a  hand  in  whatever  was  for  the  public 
good.  He  was  a  member  of  the  New  England  Society  of  Orange  and  for  a 
time  its  treasurer;  he  was  also  in  the  management  of  the  Orange  Bureau  of 
Associated  Charities  and  took  an  earnest  part  in  the  work  of  the  Hillside 
Presbyterian  Church  of  which  he  was  a  member.  In  the  midst  of  this  busy 
home  life,  with  its  absorbing  interests,  Mr.  Dyckman  did  not  forget  the  West- 
ern City  which  had  been  the  field  of  so  much  of  his  prosperity,  and  in  1001  he 
established  at  Sleepy  Eye  the  Dyckman  Free  Library  in  a  building  said  to  be, 
in  construction  and  equipment,  the  finest  of  its  kind  in  the  State. 

Mr.  Dyckman  was  married  in  1885  to  Miss  Louise  Chance  Heroy  who  sur- 
vivies  him  with  four  children:  Mary  Lang,  Heroy  Maxwell,  Francis  Hamilton 
and  Richard  Pluymert  Dyckman.  The  funeral  services  were  conducted  by 
the  Rev.  Stanley  White,  Pastor  of  the  church  Mr.  Dyckman  attended  and  the 
burial  was  in  Rosedale  Cemetery. 


Tallmadge,  Frederick  Samuel,  member  of  the  New  York  Genealog- 
ical and  Biographical  Society  since  188S,  died  June  20,  1904  at  his  residence  in 
New  York  City,  aged  80  years.  He  was  born  Jan.  24,  1824  at  No.  28  Vesey 
Street  and  was  the  second  son  of  Frederick  Augustus  Tallmadge  and  Eliza  H. 
Canfield,  born  Aug.  19,  1793,  in  Sharon,  Conn.,  daughter  of  Judson  Canfield  and 
Mabel  Ruggles.  His  father  who  was  born  Aug.  29,  1792  in  Litchfield,  Conn., 
and  died  there  in  1867.  graduated  from  Yale  in  181 1;  studied  law  at  Litchfield 
and  removed  to  New  York  City  where  he  practiced  his  profession  with  great 
success;  was  twice  appointed  Recorder  of  the  City;  was  elected  to  Congress 
as  a  Whig  and  served  from  Dec,  1847  till  March,  1849,  and  was  afterward  Gen- 
eral Superintendent  of  the  Metropolitan  Board  of  Police.  He  became  prom- 
inent through  the  energy  and  firmness  which  he  displayed  while  Recorder,  in 
suppressing  the  Astor  Place  riot  of  May,  1849.  The  father  of  Recorder  Tall- 
madge was  Col.  Benjamin  Tallmadge,  the  well  known  Revolutionary  officer, 
who  was  born  in  Brookhaven,  N.  Y.,  in  1754;  died  in  Litchfield,  Conn.,  in  1835, 
and  was  the  son  of  the  Rev.  Benjamin  Tallmadge  of  Brookhaven,  and  Susannah 
Smith,  daughter  of  Rev.  John  Smith  of  White  Plains,  N.  Y.  During  the  Rev- 
olution he  was  at  first  Major  and  then  Colonel  of  the  Second  Light  Dragoons 
which  was  engaged  in  many  exploits  during  the  war;  was  a  member  of  Gen- 
eral Washington's  military  family  and  conducted  his  secret  correspondence. 
He  had  charge  of  Major  Andre  until  the  execution  of  the  latter.  After  the  war 
he  removed  to  Litchfield,  Conn.,  where  he  became  a  successful  merchant;  was 
a  member  of  Congress  from  Connecticut  from  1801  till  1817,  and  was  President 
of  the  Connecticut  Society  of  the  Cincinnati.  His  wife  was  Mary  Floyd, 
daughter  of  General  William  Floyd,  signer  of  the  Declaration  of  Independ- 
ence. 

Mr.  Tallmadge  was  graduated  from  Columbia  College  in  1845.  After 
completing  his  law  studies  he  entered  the  legal  profession  and  for  many  years 
was  a  member  of  the  law  firm  of  Tracy,  Tallmadge  and  Noyes.  As  a  lawyer 
he  was  able  and  successful,  but  he  will  be  longest  remembered  on  account  of 
his  connection  with  the  Sons  of  the  Revolution  in  the  State  of  New  York,  and 
for  his  benefactions  to  this  patriotic  order.  After  the  organization  of  this  body 
of  which  he  was  one  of  the  incorporators  and  its  president  for  twenty  years,  he 
devoted  the  most  of  his  time  and  attention  to  the  welfare  of  this  society;  was 
prominent  in  all  its  movements  and  the  growth  of  the  organization  has  been 
largely  due  to  his  efforts.  The  latest  movement  of  this  society  in  which  he 
took  an  active  part  was  that  of  securing  possession  of  Fraunce's  Tavern,  and 
his  last  official  act  as  president  was  to  sign  the  contract  for  its  purchase.  Aside 
from  the  law  and  his  labors  in  behalf  of  the  Sons  of  the  Revolution  he  indulged 
his  literary  tastes  and  came  into  the  possession  of  a  fine  Shakesperian  col- 
lection including  the  second  folio  edition.  He  also  obtained  valuable  Garrick 
pieces  from   the   Burton   sale.    These,  together  with  Revolutionary  objects,

including  the  Sharpless  portrait  of  Washington,  he  bequeathed  to  the  Society 
of  the  Suns  of  the  Revolution  and  also  his  house  at  No.  23  Gramercy  Part 
which  he  directed  should  be  mai  of  and  used  as  a  depository  for  Rev-

AVERY,  SAM)  i  i  Pi  inam,  life  member  of  the  New  York  Genealogical 
and  Biographical  Society,  died  Aug,  11,  1004,  at  his  residence  in  New  York, 
aged  eignty-two years.  He  was  born  March  17,  1822,111  New  York  City,  and 
was  the  eldest  son  of  Samuel  Putnam  Avery  and  Hannah  Ann  Parke,  daughter 
of  Capt.  Benjamin  Parke  of  New  York.  His  father  who  was  in  the  leather 
business  in  New  York  and  died  there  in  the  cholera  epidemic  of  1832,  when 
only  thirty  ii\  e  years  of  age,  was  the  son  of  John  William  Avery  and  Sarah 
I  airchild,  both  of  Stratford.  Conn.,  and  grandson  of  the  Rev.  Kphraim  Avery, 
rector  of  Grace  Church,  Rye,  N.  Y.,  by  his  wife  Hannah  Piatt  (or  Pratt).  Rev. 
Ephraim  Avery  was  the  son  of  Rev.  Ephraim  Avery  of  Brooklyn,  Conn.,  by 
his  wife  Deborah  Lathrop,  daughter  of  Samuel  and  Deborah  (Crow)  Lathrop 
of  Pomfret,  Conn.;  who  was  the  son  of  Rev.  John  Avery  of  Truro,  Mass.,  and 
Ruth  Little,  daughter  of  Ephraim  and  Mary  (Sturdevant)  Little  of  Marshfield, 
Mass.,  and  granddaughter  of  Thomas  Little  of  Plymouth,  Mass.,  by  his  wife 
Ann,  daughter  of  Mr.  Richard  Warren  the  Mayflower  pilgrim;  who  was  the 
son  of  Robert  Avery  of  Dedham,  Mass.,  and  Elizabeth  Lane,  daughter  of  Job 
and  Sarah  Lane  of  Maiden,  Mass.;  who  was  the  son  of  Dr.  William  Avery  who 
came  from  Barkham,  Co.  Berks,  England,  to  Dedham,  Mass.,  about  1650. 

Left  by  the  death  of  his  father  at  the  early  age  of  ten  to  make  his  own 
wav  in  the  world,  Mr.  Avery  began  engraving  as  a  mere  boy  in  a  bank  note 
company  where  he  studied  copperplate  engraving,  then  engraving  on  wood, 
and  afterward  edited  art  compilations  of  his  own  selection,  sometimes  con- 
tributing illustrations  of  his  own  handiwork.  In  1865  he  entered  into  the  bus- 
iness of  commercial  engraving  and  art  publishing  at  the  corner  of  Broadway 
and  Fourth  Street.  In  1867  he  received  the  appointment  of  Commissioner  to 
go  to  France  in  charge  of  the  American  Art  Department  at  the  L'nivcrsal  F'.x- 
position  in  Paris.  The  following  year  he  abandoned  engraving  and  art  pub- 
lishing and  became  a  dealer  in  works  of  art.  He  removed  to  No.  88  Fifth 
Avenue  where  he  opened  a  gallery  and  for  nearly  twenty  years  conducted  a 
very  successful  business  in  paintings  and  water  colors,  both  domestic  and  for- 
eign, when  he  retired  entirely  from  business  and  was  succeeded  by  his  son, 
Samuel  P.  Avery,  Jr.  During  this  latter  period  of  business  activity  he  became 
widely  known  as  an  art  connoisseur  md  one  of  the  foremost  men  in  art  circles 
in  New  York  City.  It  was  through  his  advice  that  several  prominent  col- 
lectors of  pictures  enriched  their  galleries  with  foreign  paintings,  notably  the 
late  William  H.  Vanderbilt  and  William  T.  Walters  of  Baltimore.  The  Board 
of  Directors  of  the  Metropolitan  Museum  placed  much  confidence  in  his  taste 
and  judgment  and  many  of  the  romantic  French  lancscapes  and  old  Dutch 
paintings  now  in  the  Museum  were  selected  hy  him. 

Mr.  Avery  was  for  several  years  Secretary  to  the  Art  Committee  of  the 
I   nion  League  Club.     This  led  to  the  organization  of  the  Metropolitan  Musi 
of  Art  of  which  he  became  one  of  the  founders  and  a  leading  director.     He 


292  Queries.  [Oct., 

held  many  other  positions  of  honor,  having  been  a  Trustee  of  the  New  York 
Public  Library,  President  of  the  Grolier  Club,  Vice-president  of  the  Sculpture 
Society,  and  honorary  member  of  the  Architectural  League  and  of  Typothetae 
Society.  He  was  also  one  of  the  original  committee  for  the  erection  of  the 
Bartholdi  Statue  of  Liberty  in  New  York  harbor.  The  loss  of  his  son,  Henry 
Ogden  Avery,  a  talented  young  architect,  caused  him  to  found  in  the  Columbia 
University  library  the  Avery  collection  of  architectural  and  art  books  as  a 
memorial.  This  contains  more  than  fifteen  thousand  volumes  and  is  probably 
the  best  special  library  of  works  on  architecture  in  the  country.  For  this  Col- 
umbia gave  him  the  honorary  degree  of  Master  of  Arts.  Nor  were  his  bene- 
factions confined  to  this  University.  He  gave  to  the  Lenox  Library  seventeen 
thousand  nineteenth  century  etchings  and  engravings,  a  collection  which  he 
had  been  accumulating  for  nearly  forty  years.  The  Grolier  Club,  of  which  he 
was  President  and  the  New  York  Genealogical  and  Biographical  Society  of 
which  he  was  at  one  time  a  Trustee,  were  also  recipients  of  valuable  gifts,  and 
one  of  the  collections  of  oriental  porcelaen  in  the  Metropolitan  Museum  was 
collected  and  given  by  him.  The  New  York  Times  of  Aug.  13,  1004,  in  an 
editorial  entitled  "  A  Public-spirited  Merchant,"  said  of  him:  "  The  full  extent 
of  the  late  S.  P.  Avery's  usefulness  may  never  be  known.  Conspicuous  as  his 
position  here  in  New  York  was,  he  gave  modestly  from  the  surplus  of  his  col- 
lections to  many  country  institutions  ever  fostering  the  love  of  art  in  its  feeble 
beginnings."  In  March,  1897.  on  the  occasion  of  his  seventy-fifth  birthday,  a 
potrait  medallion  in  gold  was  presented  to  him  by  seventy-five  citizens  of  New 
New  York  in  recognition  of  his  many  public  services. 

Samuel  Putnam  Avery  was  married  Nov.  24,  1844,  to  Mary  Ann  Ogden, 
daughter  of  Henry  Aaron  Ogden  and  Katharine  Conklin,  both  of  New  York. 
His  is  survived  by  his  widow  and  two  children:  Samuel  P.  Averv,  Jr.,  who  until 
recently  conducted  the  business  founded  by  his  father,  and  Mrs.  Fannie  F. 
Welcher,  wife  of  the  Rev.  P.  Welcher  of  Brooklyn.  Benjamin  Parke  Avery, 
who  was  Minister  to  China  under  President  Grant  and  died  in  Pekin  in  1875, 
was  his  only  brother.

One  of  the  most  important  of  the  new  genealogies,  both  from  its  subject 
and  the  manner  of  treatment,  is  here  presented  by  Professor  Moore.  Long 
Island  families  have  not,  with  a  few  exceptions,  been  well  represented  in 
printed  books,  therefore  this  work,  with  its  copious  notes,  carefully  referenced 
and  indexed,  is  especially  welcome.  Nearly  four  hundred  pages  are  devoted 
to  the  genealogy  proper,  followed  by  over  one  hundred  pages  of  appendix  con- 
taining deeds,  abstracts  of  wills,  lists  of  soldiers,  residents  of  Newtown,  public 
officers,  marriages,  and  miscellaneous  articles,  including  pedigrees  of  allied 
families.  The  index  is  good,  and  the  general  make-up  of  the  book  is  most 
pleasing  to  eye  and  hand.     The  compiler  invites  additions  and  corrections.

Divided  into  chapters,  and  pursuing  a  pleasant  narrative  style,  this  book 
is  more  of  a  family  history  than  the  usual  genealogical  work  pretends  to  be. 
The  family  is  not  large,  therefore  this  arrangement  is  an  agreeable  one, 
especially  as  a  good  index  is  appended.  The  first  American  ancestor  was  Rev. 
David  Reese,  first  of  New  Castle,  Delaware,  and  later  of  Pennsylvania.

As  in  the  Humphreville  genealogy  by  the  same  author,  the  lineal  descent 
only  is  traced,  in  this  case  being  the  ancestry  of  Henry  Martyn  Lewis,  with 
the  allied  families  of  Buckingham,  Collier,  Kirtland,  Pratt  and  Shipman.  The 
story  of  the  romance  of  Governor  Bradford  is  told  in  pleasant  narrative  form.

An  interesting  characteristic  of  the  Cone  family  is  its  patriotism.  Hardly 
a  family  group  amongst  its  early  generations  failed  to  supply  at  least  one 
soldier  to  the  Commonwealth.  The  book  is  well  arranged,  traces  some  6500 
families,  and  has  a  good  index.

of  some  wealthy  town.  The  family  story  is  well  told,  and  told  with  the  object 
of  arousing  the  love  of  name  and  country  among  its  boys.

The  present  number  carries  these  genealogies  from  ( lakley  through  Stout- 
enburgh. Various  bits  of  curious  information  enliven  these  pages,  amongst 
them  the  Dutch  names  for  the  months,  with  a  translation,  notes  on  the  early 
New  York  fire  department,  and  an  account  of  a  carpenters'  and  shoemakers'

In  this  little  volume  an  attempt  has  been  made  to  tell  the  story  of  the 
towns  of  Lenox  and  Richmond  in  a  simple  way,  with  the  incorporation  of  some 
statistics,  such  as  lists  of  soldiers  and  representatives  to  the  1  ieneral  1  'ourt.  A 
chapter  in  the  history  of  Berkshire  in  England  has  been  introduced.  The  com- 
piler states  that  if  there  is  an)  demand  (or  it,  a  supplementary  volume  on  the 
Vital  Statistics  of  Lenox  and  Richmond  will  be  published.

This  is  a  contribution  to  the  family  histories  of  the  Pennsylvania  Germans, 
tracing  the  line  from  Adam  BUdinger,  who  came  to  America  in  1737.  The 
Compiler  uses  a  diagram  index,  giving  the  heads  of  families  in  chart  form  with 
page  and  family  number.  This  is  an  excellent  way  to  index  a  small  book  in 
order  to  show  at  a  glance  the  principal  lines  traced,  but  as  many  names  are  of 
necessity  omitted,  the  labors  of  the  student  are  not  greatly  aided.  We  wel- 
come all  efforts  towards  clear  and  comprehensive  indexing,  but  the  perfect 
genealogical  index  is  yet  to  be  invented.

The  June  number  ends  Volume  14  of  this  family  paper,  which  thus  proves 
its  usefulness.  The  editor  states  that  a  card  index  of  all  the  male  Lewises 
contained  in  this  publication  has  been  prepared,  and  until  it  can  be  printed  he 
will  furnish  these  references  to  anyone  who  will  send  stamps  for  reply.  One 
might  ask  why  this  invidious  discrimination  against  the  Lewis  daughters  exists, 
ami  would  warn  the  editor  that  his  printed  index  will  fail  of  much  of  its  useful- 
ness and  desirability  unless  he  includes  all  descendants  therein.

dition of  the  original  records  of  about  one  hundred  and  fifty  of  the  older 
churches  and  Friends'  Meetings,  with  other  data.  New  Jersey  is  such  a  diffi- 
cult field  for  family  research  that  a  work  of  this  kind  ought  to  be  in  the  hands 
of  every  genealogist,  and  will  certainly  be  appreciated  by  any  student  into 
whose  possession  it  may  rome.  Only  one  hundred  copies  have  been  issued,

This  number  enters  upon  an  account  of  the  posterity  of  the  Nova  Scotian 
settlers  of  1761,  namely,  Samuel  and  John  Beckwith  from  Norwich,  and  Ben- 
jamin, Andrew  and  Nicholas  from  Lyme.  The  pedigrees  of  the  mothers  of 
families  are  given  when  practicable,  and  the  pamphlet,  as  is  the  creditable  fact 
with  all  the  Beckwith  numbers,  is  well  indexed.

From  the  musty  pages  of  old  journals  of  1778,  once  eagerly  sought  and 
read  by  friend  and  foe  of  the  American  cause,  the  editor  of  this  volume  has 
brought  forth  treasures  and  curiosities  of  history.  Records  of  naval  engage- 
ments from  Sandy  Hook  to  Cape  May,  lists  of  Tories  whose  property  was  con- 
fiscated, and  admiralty  sales  of  captured  vessels,  are  pleasantly  mingled  with 
descriptions  of  the  way  to  make  molasses,  sugar,  and  spirits  from  Indian  corn 
and  pumpkins. 

A  Biographical  Memorial  of  General  Daniel  Butterfield,  in-

Butterfield.     New  York.     The  Grafton  Press.     1904.     8vo,  cloth,  pp.  XII+379. 

General  Butterfield  was  descended  from  a  sturdy  ancestry  of  soldiers  and 
pioneers.  His  first  American  forefather  was  one  of  the  earliest  settlers  of 
Chelmsford,  and  his  own  father  was  President  of  the  Overland  Mail  Company, 
whose  stages  made  the  first  overland  journey  from  San  Francisco  to  St.  Louis 
in  1858,  the  trip  consuming  twenty-three  days  and  four  hours.  General  But- 
terfield first  entered  the  military  service  as  a  private  soldier  in  the  Utica  Citi- 
zens" Corps  in  1850  at  the  age  of  nineteen,  and  in  1898,  being  at  that  time  Com- 
mander of  Lafayette  Post,  G.  A.  R.,  he  assisted  in  its  great  work  of  raising 
8000  troops  for  the  Spanish  War.  The  many  hopes,  efforts  and  accomplish- 
ments of  this  notable  life  are  fully  told  in  this  interesting  volume,  which  is  well 
illustrated. 

The  Barony  of  the  Rose.  A  Historical  Monograph.  Grace  Stuart 
Reid.  New  York.  The  Grafton  Press.  1904.  Quarto  cloth,  pp.  58.  Price 
$1.50. 

The  story  of  Letitia  Aubrey's  land,  whose  rental  was  one  red  June  rose,  is 
here  narrated  with  sympathy,  pathos  and  humor.  The  barony  of  the  rose  be- 
came the  Moravian  town  of  Nazareth,  and  its  quaint  and  beautiful  customs  are 
described,  with  many  interesting  illustrations  and  some  biographical  details. 
The  book  is  very  attractive.

ment to  Year  Book  of  1899.  New  York.  Francis  E.  Fitch.  1903.  Quarto 
cloth,  pp.  331. 

This  volume  contains  a  list  of  members  added  since  1899,  with  the  services 
of  their  ancestors,  and  the  addresses  delivered  before  the  Society  from  that 
date  till  1903.

field  &  Co.     1904.    8vo,  cloth,  pp.  155. 

The  success  ot  this  handbook  was  assured  when  the  first  edition  became 
almost  immediately  exhausted.  The  present  volume  begins  with  an  apology 
for  the  use  of  coat-armor  in  America,  in  which  the  author  quotes  Dugdale  and 
the  present  Ulster  King  of  Arms,  who  allow  any  arms  which  have  been  con- 
tinuously borne  for  at  least  three  generations,  or  at  least  for  one  hundred  years. 
The  present  edition  contains  nearly  2000  names,  alphabetically  arranged,  with 
description  of  arms  borne  by  original  settlers.  The  appendix  describes  the  de- 
vices of  the  thirteen  original  states  and  has  a  useful  glossary  of  heraldic  terms.

The  ancestral  record  of  Frances  Amelia  (Smith)  Lewis  is  here  set  forth,

compiler  gives  the  birth  and  marriage  ol  .ill  children  ol  eai  h  aired 
but  only  traces  the  lineal  descent  ol  Mrs.  Lewis.  There  are  pleasant  records 
here  of  the  peace  and  plenty  of  the  good  old  tunes,  when  the  well  to-do  farmer 
filled  his  cellar  with  "quantities  of  salted  and  smoked  meats,  barrels  of  apple 
butter,  mince-meat,  cider  and  vinegar,"  as  well  as  "the  corner  set  off  for  the 
wagonloads  of  oysters  which,  with  plenty  of  seaweed  to  keep  them  alive"  were 
carried  from  New   Haven  to  Litchfield  for  the  winter's  use.

J.  B.  LippinCOtt  Company.      I004.     Quarto  cloth,  pp.  262. 

This  is  one  of  the  handsomest  of  recent  genealogies,  and  its  beautiful  pic- 
tures and  portraits,  its  elaborate  headings  and  tailpieces,  all  upon  heavy  hand- 
made paper,  illustrate  work  worthy  to  be  so  enriched.  The  Yerkes  family  has 
become  famous  of  late  years  through  the  business  operations  of  some  of  its 
members,  but  as  a  whole  they  have  been  strongly  attached  to  rural  life,  and  in 
the  eighteenth  century  only  two  of  the  name  abandoned  the  country  for  the 
city,  and  one  of  these  eventually  returned  to  his  country  home,  there  to  pass 
ti  s  declining  years.  Nearly  2000  descendants  of  this  yeoman  slock  have  been 
traced.  The  descendants  of  Toby  Leach  and  Thomas  Kutter,  allied  with  the 
Yerkes,  are  arranged  as  separate  parts.

Whittelsey  gives  in  this  pamphlet  a  succinct  and  clear  account  of  the  life  and 
services  of  this  eminent  patriot,  concluding  with  the  letter  of  General  Spencer 
to  President  Washington  and  the  Continental  Congress.

Part  I  of  this  very  interesting  volume  recites  the  personal  and  family 
history  and  genealogy  of  General  Joseph  Graham,  including  his  Revolutionary 
services,  and  those  0/  the  war  of  1812.  The  second  part  contains  the  Revolu- 
tionary papers  prepared  by  him,  1820-1827,  for  ludge  Murphey's  proposed  his- 
tory of  North  Carolina.  A  list  of  the  signers  of  the  Mecklenburg  Declaration 
of  Independence,  with  a  copy  of  that  document,  and  a  quaint  picture  of  Meek

hand  the  annual  issue  to  members  subscribing  therefor  a  series  of  medals  com- 
memorative of  notable  events  in  the  history  of  this  country.  This  is  followed

The  Barclays  of  New  York:  who  they  are  and  who  they  are 
not, — and  some  other  Barclays.  R.  Burnham  Moffat.  New  York. 
Robert  Grier  Cooke.     1904.     8vo,  cloth,  pp.  474. 

A  tradition  has  been  seriously  entertained  by  the  descendants  of  Rev. 
Thomas  Barclay,  the  first  rector  of  St.  Peter's  at  Albany,  that  they  are  all  of 
Ury  stock.  The  compiler,  having  found  convincing  testimony  to  the  inac- 
curacy of  this  tradition,  gives  his  reasons  clearly  and  at  length,  quoting  old 
letters  and  records,  English  and  American,  to  substantiate  them.  The  de- 
scendants of  Rev.  Thomas  Barclay  of  Albany  are  fully  treated,  and  most  of 
them  are  so  prominent  in  New  York  society  that  the  book  reads  like  an  elite 
directory.  Mr.  Moffat  prints  wills  and  deeds  in  the  appendix,  and  a  very  use- 
ful memorandum  of  the  condition  of  county  records  in  Virginia.  The  index 
and  make-up  of  the  book  are  exceedingly  good.

rence, M.D.  Cambridge.  The  Riverside  Press.  1904.  8vo,  cloth,  pp. 
VIII+344. 

The  English  ancestry  of  the  Lawrence  family  has  been  traced  by  the  com- 
piler to  the  year  1191,  the  baptismal  record  of  John  Lawrence,  the  first  Ameri- 
can progenitor,  having  been  found  at  Wissett,  County  Suffolk,  England.  The 
records  of  the  lineal  ancestors  for  the  first  four  generations  in  America  are 
given,  but  the  genealogy  proper  begins  with  Samuel  Lawrence  of  the  fifth  gen- 
eration, carrying  out  the  history  of  nearly  two  hundred  and  fifty  descendants. 
The  book  abounds  in  biographical  details.  The  index  records  the  women 
under  maiden  and  married  names,  and  identifies  individuals  in  many  cases  by 
family  or  genealogical  number  as  well  as  that  of  the  page.

Continuing  the  records  from  the  previons  number,  this  pamphlet  carries 
forward  the  account  of  the  descendants  of  William  and  Mary  (Ramsdell)  Cox 
of  Pembroke,  Mass.,  accompanied  by  copious  references.

The  compiler  states  that  these  notes  are  published  in  the  hope  that  they 
may  lead  to  the  compiling  of  a  more  complete  genealogy  of  this  interesting 
family.  They  begin  with  Digory  Sargent,  a  soldier  in  King  Philip's  war, 
whose  ancestry  is  unkuown.  In  the  earlier  generations  nearly  every  man  was 
a  soldier,  and  nearly  every  branch  of  this  family  suffered  from  Indian  raids.

This  brochure  is  published  as  an  exposition  of  the  Plummer  system  of 
notation,  which  seems  practical  though  somewhat  clumsy.  Each  individual 
has  but  one  reference  numeral  (or  letter),  which  is  determined  by  the  order  of 
his  (or  her)  birth,  and  is  suffixed  to  the  parent's,  thus  serving  as  a  complete 
index  to  all  ancestors,  and  being  in  turn  transmitted  to  all  descendants.

Compiled  and  published  by  George  David  Read  Hubbard.  Brooklyn.  1901. 
Quarto  cloth,  pp.  37. 

The  ancestry  of  Daniel  Lothrop  is  successfully  traced  to  the  early  part  of 
the  sixteenth  century,  the  first  known  ancestor  being  John  Lowthroppe,  of 
Lowthorpe,  County  York.  The  direct  line  is  followed  to  Daniel,  who  was  bom 
in  Bethel,  Vt,  in  1768.  As  in  his  work  reviewed  in  the  last  Record,  the  An- 
cestors and  Descendants  of  Josiah  Hosmer,  Jr.,  the  compiler  has  arranged  the 
names  so  that  the  younger  generations  are  shown  in  close  proximity  to  their 
near  ancestors.  By  using  different  type  for  each  generation  and  by  indenting 
each  generation  more  deeply,  the  pedigree  can  thus  be  seen  at  a  glance.  The 
author  lends  many  characteristic  touches  to  the  book,  such  as  items  of  con- 
temporaneous history,  family  anniversaries  worth  remembering,  and  the  like. 
The  index  is  good.

Comparatively  few  New  Yorkers  of  Dutch  ancestry  have  attempted  to 
trace  their  immigrant  forefathers,  there  being  the  obvious  difficulties  of  a  for- 
eign tongue  and  a  Clumsy  method  of  Setting  forth  descent.  The  present  vol- 
ume, The  Patriciate  ,|  \msterdam,  is  written  m  Dutch,  but  it  is  easy 
Dutch,  and  the  essential  facts  are  not  hard  to  decipher.  The  period  cov- 
ered is  that  of  the  emigration  to  America,  which  makes  it  of  particular 
value  in  this  country.  There  are  about  fifty  families  of  prominence  in 
America  whose  names  appear,  among  them  being  Beekman,  Bogart,  Brower.
