PREFACE

Fully conscious of my inability to write and compile
an accurate genealogical history of the Colver-Culver
family, I am, nevertheless, going to try in this little
volxmie to record a few of the interesting facts about
Edward Colver, the Puritan, and foimder of the family
in the United States, and some of his numerous de-
scendants. Despite the extreme care exercised in the
gathering of this material, and the painstaking effort
to verify the statements contained in these pages,
there will, I fear, be found many inaccuracies, and es-
pecially noticeable will be the incompleteness of this
family story.

I am the more strongly influenced to print this bit
of family history by the hope that its publication will
invite contributions from the living representatives of
the Colvers — one of the oldest Puritan families of New
England.

I, therefore, urge my readers who are interested to
assist me in the gathering together of more genealogical
material, as well as curios, family portraits, and pho-
tographs, so as to make possible in the future a more
complete printed and illustrated record of the family.

In the present volume the descendants |of Edward
Colver are given in families, generation by generation,
in the order of primogeniture. An Arabic figure before
the name of a child indicates that this child is, in
turn, the head of a family, the record of which, under
this number, will be found in the next generation.

6 PREFACE

Any one consulting the index should read the note
which precedes it.

Many sources of genealogical information have been
most carefully searched to obtain and verify the facts
contained in this little book. The author is indebted
to Numerous Colver-Culver descendants who have fur-
nished valuable data from family archives, and to the
libraries of the New England Historic Genealogical
Society, Boston; the Connecticut Historical Society,
Hartford; the Pennsylvania Historical Society, Phila-
delphia; the Congressional Library, Washington; the
Lenox Library, New York, and the Public Libraries
of Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and elsewhere. The
Colver-Ctilver family history here published is believed
to be authentic in all particulars, but, as already stated,
must of necessity be incomplete and contain some

inaccuracies.

COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY

THE COLVERS IN ENGLAND

Although at no time a very ntunerous family, the
Colvers, or Culvers, are readily traced in many of the
English Shires, or Counties. The name is found in
various forms of spelling, such as "Colver," "Collver,"
"Coluer," 'Xulver," "Culliver," etc.; the variation
arising principally from the poor orthography of the
middle ages and the mood of the scribe who wrote the
document, who would often spell the same word in
two, or perhaps more, wajrs in the same record, as is
well known, to genealogists, often to their perplexity.
Several excellent authorities state that the Colver
family originated in Saxony, the spelling of the name
there being "Kolver," and that the descendants in
England and later in America were of Saxon ancestry.
The history of the early Colvers in England gives evi-
dence of their Saxon origin. (At this date, i909,there
are a few families in the United States using the spelling
'* Kolver" but are evidently not descendants of Edward
Colver, the Puritan.) In America the various branches
have invariably used one or the other of the two forms,
"Colver" and "Culver,*' both of which are found in
the old records applying to the same person.

The etymology of the name seems to have been de-
rived from the word "culver," meaning a pigeon or
dove. The name " Culverhouse" is found in some parts
of England and evidently means "dovecote;" prob-
ably from the fact that the person with whom the
name originated kept a number of pigeons or doves.
The poet Thompson in his "Seasons" makes use of
the word thus:

"Or lie reclined beneath yon si>reading ash.
Hung o'er the steep, whence bom on Uqmd wing.
The sounding culver shoots/'

In the south of England there are several places

12 COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY

with names embodying the word "culver," such as:
Culverden and Culverstone in Kent, and CulvercliS
in the Isle of Wight, all of which were doubtless places
frequented by unusual numbers of wild pigeons or
doves.

Colver is an early variant. Colverhouse is found
in the records of the reign of iCing Edward III, and
colver is the form used by Chaucer in his ''Legende of
Goode Women." Spencer in the ** Faerie Queene,"
n, 7, 34, 6 and in the "Teares of the Muses," 246,
uses culver. There are 18 lines upon the nature of the
culver and its signification^ contained in a Bestiary in
one of the Arundel MSS. (No. 293, fol. 4), printed in
the first volume of Wright and HalliweU's Reliquiae
Antiquae, and there is an article by Chancellor Fergu-
son on the importance of this bird in the early cuisine
Published in the "Transactions of the Cumberland and
Westmoreland Antiquarian and Archaeolc^ical Society,"
vol. ix, part 2, pp. 412-434, where there are also several
sketches of old culver-houses.

The trustworthiness of the tradition that the name
Culver is an Anglicization of the Prussian Kaulver is
sufficiently disapproved by the fact that William Culvere
is in the Hundred Rolls, long before the period of
immigration from Prussia.

Families of the name Calver or Colver have been
found in Derbyshire, Suffolk and Leicester; but the
indications are that Edward Colver, the Puritan emi-
grant, came from one of the southern counties in the
vicinity of London. John Winthrop the younger, in
whose company Edward Colver came to America, re-
cruited his band of colonists from the counties Middle-
sex, Kent and Essex; and as the name Colver, or Culver,
is found in the Middlesex records, especially in some

Parishes of London, it is more than probable Edward
olver was a native of those parts.
For illustration: On the registers of Kensington
parish church were fotmd the following:

COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY 13

Marri^es ''1549 Edward Colver and Alis Lincone."
Baptisms "1552 Oct. 33 Richard son of Edward

and Alis Colver."
" *' 1563 May 30 Wm. s. of Edward Colver,"

Burials **iSS6 July 2 Hughe Colver."

" "1559 Oct. I Rich. s. of Edward Colver"

" *'iSS9 Alis, wife of Edward Col-

ver."

The above record indicates that Edward Colver mar-
ried a second time; his son William being tlfe child of
the second wife. The Kensington record^ cease here;
the next being found in the adjoining parish of Clerk-
enwell:

"Middlesex Sessions Rolls

"Muniment Room, Sessions House, Clerkenwell.

**4 April, 1596. 36 Elizabeth. Coroner's Inqtdsi-
tion-post mortem, taken at Hardmondsworth, Mdx.
on view of the body of Edward Culver, there lying
dead: With the verdict that, on the 26 Dec. 36 Eliz.
between the hours of eleven and twelve p. m., the said
Edward Culver, George Hulett, labourer, and Robert
Glynne, Yoman, all of Hardmondsworthe, aforesaid,
quarrelled and fought together with their fists, in which
affray George Hulett with his teeth bit the middle
finger of Edward Culver's left hand, so that the same
left hand and the arm became putrid and sick and that
Edward Culver languished from the said 26th day of
December to the 25th of March next following, on
which day he died of the wound so given him. Oii his
arraignment for thus killing Edward Culver, George
Hurlett put himself "Not Guilty," and the jurors on
their oath declared ''quod Johannes Atstyle interfecit
et occidit predictum Edwardum Culver."

"Gool Delivery Roll— 21 June 36 Eliz. (1596)"

Whether the Edward Colver of Kensington is iden-
tical with the Edward Culver of Clerkenwell is not

14 COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY

proved; if they were the same person he must have been
an old man bordering on seventy years of age in 1596.
The similarity of name, and also the location, would
suggest some connection with Edward Colver the Puritan.
In 1577, on II May, Benett Colver, the wife of William
Colver was buried at St. Alphage Church, Canterbury.
Eight months later the second marriage of this William
Colver is recorded in the same parish: **Wm. Culver
of St. Alphage, Canterbury city, Vesturer, and Josua
Wright of St. Peters, widow, at Monkton, Jan. ii,
1577." According to our present reckoning this date
would be II January, 1578. The baptism of two
daughters, Libbell and Margaret Colver, are also re-
corded in the same parish. Other Colvers and Culvers
appear upon the registers of Canterbury, but have no
bearing upon Edward the Puritan specially, although,
doubtless, they are branches of the same family. As
early as 1475 a Richard Culver, weaver, lived at Bristol;
but the family seem to have clustered in the south-
eastern counties for the most part. Edward Colver
sailed from the port of London in 1635, ^ ^^^ ^^ ^^^
ships which carried John Winthrop's company of emi-
grants to America, but so far the research has failed
to reveal his parentage.

Some students of Colver genealogy claim the name was originally Colliver,
derived from the Latin word Coltiver, a snake or wrpent, and that the
heraldric crest is a right h^d holding an uplifted club signifying a snake
killer. The compiler of this work can find no evidence to support this view.

THE COLVERS OP MASSACHUSETTS AND

CONNECTICUT

Urged by a keen desire to better their condition,
and stimulated by the love of adventure, as well as by
the establishment of the Jamestown, Virginia, Colony
in 1607, and the successful founding of the Pilgrim
settlement at Plymouth, Massachusetts, under Miles
Standish in 1620, hundreds of the sturdy people of
southern England — Puritans — under the leadership of
John Winthrop and others, came to America and or-
ganized the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The Puritans
came to the shores of New England in many companies,
and on various dates, from 1630 to 1640. Winthrop
had some twelve ships in his main expedition, which
reached the vicinity of what is now Salem, Massachu-
setts, on April I, 1630, with nearly eight hundred per-
sons aboard, and after a voyage of seventy-six days,
July 30, 1630, the Winthrop Colonists removed to
Charlestown, and finally settled what is now Boston,
September 17, 1630, which was named for the principal
town in England from which the Puritans came. The
Puritan ideas represented a national liberty and a severe
but simple Protestantism. The first General Court
sat at Boston in May, 1631. Among the very earliest
records of the Puritan affairs, in the time worn docu-
ments of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, we find the
name of Edward Colver on the original covenant entered
into by members of the Colony at Boston for the set-
tlement of "Contentment," which was changed to Ded-
ham, Massachusetts, (September 8, 1636). At first
there appears to have been a meeting, September 3,
1635, ^t the Court in Boston to consider the founding
of a plantation on the Charles River. A second meet-
ing is recorded August 18, 1636, and a third and final
conference September 5, 1636. At last the covenant
is signed, September 10, 1636, by Edward Colver and

16 COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY

Others who were the founders of Dedham, Massachu-
setts*

The name Dedham was taken from Dedham, Essex
County, England. It is about ten miles southwest
from Boston on the Charles River. It was at the little
settlement of Dedham where the first canal ever built
in the United States was constructed about 1640.
This canal was dug to make available the fall of sixty
feet between the Charles and Neponset rivers. It was
about a mile in length and connected the waters of
Mother Brook, Charles and Neponset rivers at Dedham.
There is a venerable oak tree still standing at Dedham
which was an old tree in 1636. Its Indian name was
**Tiot." It was at Dedham that the first white man
was shot by an Indian in 167 1, which started the King
Philip War of 1675.

In all probability Edward Colver was a young man
when he came with the Puritans from his home in Eng-
land and settled in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and
later assisted in the founding of Dedham, for we find
his the second marriage in the records of Dedham
by the first town clerk, Edward AUeyn, September 19,
1638, to Aim Ellis (An Ellice). Aim Ellis was the
daughter of John Ellis, one of the first settlers at Dedham.
Reverend John Allin, who was the first pastor of the
first church of Dedham, performed the ceremony.
The congregation of this church was organized in July,
i637> t)y John Allin and some thirty Puritan families
who came from several parts of southern Ei^land. The
church was, however, formally instituted in 1638, and
Mr. Allin was then installed as the regular pastor. It
is of interest to know that the religious instructor at
this time of the first member of the Colver family in
America was a man of great piety and distinguished
ability, for John Allin stood high among the clergy of
his day. Bom in 1597 at Colby, Norfolk, England, and
^ graduate of Cambridge, 1619, John Allin brought to
his new field of labor in the Massachusetts Colony a

rich fund of spirituality and experience, and the little
Dedham church prospered under his leadership.

In the records of the early Connecticut settlement —
beginning with Edward Colver, the Puritan, who came
from the Dedham-Roxbury district of the Massachu-
setts Bay Colony to New London — extending over a
period of nearly two hundred years, there are so many
Inferences to members of the Colver-Culver family that
space here will not permit any detailed mention. In
deeds for lands and property ; in church and town records
of births, marrij^es, and deaths; in registered lists of
cattle marks; minutes of town meetings; in the chron-
icles of the assembUes of the Col<»iy; in the Colonial
War books, etc., it is evident that the early descend-
ants of the family were most numerous, active and
public spirited. Shortly after the American Revolu-
tion the family began to scatter more generally aAd
seek homes in other states, principally to the west of
Connecticut/ so that now it is no longer possible to speak
of the family as "of Connecticut/' As an illustration of
how the Colver-Culver descendants have scattered
mention can be made of towns bearing the name of
Culver in Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, New
Jcfsey and Texas, also Culverton, Georgia.

COLVER-CULVER

(The correct spelling)

As stated elsewhere in this book, Americans bearing
the name of Colver or Culver are undoubtedly all de-
scendants of the first ancestor, Edward Colver, the
Puritan, who came from England as a member of the
Massachusetts Bay Colony about 1635. The author
is satisfied beyond any reasonable doubt that the cor-
rect spelling of the name is Colver. On the original
covenant entered into by some members of the Massa-
chusetts Bay Colony at Boston, September 10, 1636,
for the settlement of Dedham, Edward Colver signs his
name as Colver. It is also Colver in the Dedham
church and town records, and on most of the family
tombstones and in all the family papers of the earliest
days. In the mention of Edward Colver's marriage
to Ann Ellis — ^the second marriage in the Dedham
church records, September 19, 1638 — the spelling is
again Colver. The spelling Culver seems to have been
first used by others in writing the name and by others
in copying official town and county records. For ex-
ample, in Litchfield, Connecticut, where numerous
branches of the family resided from 1723 until many
years after the Revolutionary War, wherever an original
deed is found the spelling is invariably Colver, but often
in the copying or indexing of the deed the copyist has
written Culver. It is almost always found as Culver
in the Colonial histories, and in the local histories of the
various New England counties and towns where the
branches of the family have resided. But in most of
the instances where the name is Culver it is the spelling
employed by persons not members of the family. The
spelling Culver appears to have been used by others
after the removal of the family of Edward Colver,
the Puritan, from Dedham and Roxbury, Massa-
chusetts, to the vicinity of New London, Connecticut,

18

COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY 19

and more widely used as the descendants scattered to
various parts of the United States.

This story is told in 1900 by a Vermont Culver, and
will serve to further illustrate: It was at the old Ver-
mont farm; they were all seated comfortably about the
kitchen stove on a January morning, the thermometer
at twenty degrees below zero, the snow nearly four feet
deep, the wind whistling a lively tune. ** Johnny, just
run out to the bam and find those old meal bags in the
comer of the oat bin, I mean the very old bags at the
bottom of the bin," said the grandfather, who always
spelled it Culver, and who was at that moment engaged
in a rather heated argument over the original spelling
of the family name with his brother, a man his senior by
some fifteen years, and who, by the way, wrote his
name Colver. The discussion grew warm and Johnny,
not moving quickly enough to the door — ^mindful of the
cold out-of-doors — received a sound box on his ear from
his grandfather to hurry his steps to the bam. Johnny
returned with the old bags, and stencilled thereon was
the name **J. D. Colver." We should probably never
have had this little family story but for Johnny's keen
memory of that box on the ear, and a frost-bitten finger
which bothered him for years — it is Johnny who tells
this story.

The compiler of this genealogy has in all biographies
adhered to the spelling ** Colver" through the fifth gen-
eration, and thereafter adopted the spelling ''Culver"
only where the present descendants have determined
upon the use of the letter '*u" instead of "o" in the
family name.

COLVER CHARACTERISTICS

Courage, and the love of adventure, as well as the
military spirit, have ever been manifest in the Colver
character, and these traits have been stimulated by the
exceptionally sturdy physical natures with which the
members of the family were endowed. The rough ex-
periences and privations which were the lot of the
earliest members of the family in the Massachusetts and
Connecticut colonies, long before and during the Amer-
ican Revolution, laid thie foundation for the strong con-
stitutions which have descended to the present genera-
tions — a most valued heritage. Most of the early
Colvers were tall, large men, and capable of much phys-
ical endurance. To this characteristic should be added
a deeply religious nature which is apparent in the Colver
genealogy from the beginning. It was in Edward
Colver, the Puritan, when he came to the shores of
Massachusetts in 1635, s-^d has been strongly in evidence
in every generation which has followed. This tendency
has been especially marked in the many members of
the family who have been earnest and successful clergy-
men, as well as conspicuous leaders in movements for
great moral reformfi. The ten generations of Colvers,
since the Puritan grandsire, Edward Colver, set foot on
New England soil, have ever met the test of true courage
— courage to seek and pursue adventure, to meet the
Indian foe, to do battle for the liberties so dear to every
American, to help preserve the Union of the States;
courage to fight great intellectual conflicts for humanity's
sake, to express and to sustain liberal religious views,
to stand, if need be, with the minority, at times, in sup-
port of just political principles, and to advance educa-
tional and needful public measures. A creditable de-
gree of intellectual attainment has followed the family
history. Numerous members have been noted as pub-
lic speakers, while most of the Colver men and women

20

COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY 21

have had a part in molding public opinion on the great
questions of their day. Perhaps the most noticeable
family qualities running through generation after gen-
eration have been the enduring energy, the extreme
pertinacity of purpose, the ability to meet emergencies,
and the power to do things worth while. From the
physical side, great vitality seems to be an inherent and
surviving quality. The Colver-Culver biographies ap-
pearing in this book will disclose more clearly the family
characteristics here briefly mentioned.

THE COLVERS IN MILITARY AFFAIRS

The Colver family has been well represented in the
American Colonial Wars, and in the subsequent wars
within the United States. It is impossible to give
anything approaching a full record, excepting as to
service in the Revolution, given later in this volume.
The data available for the Colonial Wars seems so frag-
mentary as not to warrant an attempt at this tiixie to
compile a list, and much further research will be re-
quired. The first ancestor in this cotmtry, Edward
Colver, the Puritan, and several of his sons and grand-
sons, had most creditable military records in the early
Indian Wars, and are mentioned favorably in Con-
necticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, and New York
Colonial records. Edward Colver served with seventy
other Englishmen in the Pequot War (1637), t^^ first
conflict with the Indians of New England; and in the
King Philip War of 1675 he was commissioned as a lieu-
tenant and served with distinction. At this period he
appears to have had considerable influence with the
Pequots and other friendly Indian tribes, and is men-
tioned as a noted scout.

In ** Soldiers in the King Philip War, 1675,'' from
Voluntown, Connecticut, on the enrollment list is found
the names of Edward, Edward, Jr., Joseph and Ephraim
Colver (pages 442 and 444). There are also stray rec-
ords of many Colvers serving in the Colonial Wars and
the French and Indian War preceding the Revolution.
In the War of the American Revolution there is record
of the services of many Colvers-Culvers from Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, New York and others
of the original thirteen colonies.

The following list, believed to be complete, is of all
members of the family who did service in the War for
American Independence, 1775-1783:

In compiling this list of the family ancestors who did
service in the Revolutionary War, the Muster Rolls,
State, County and Town Records of all the original

36 COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY

thirteen States have been examined diligently, and the
volumes of the United States Government pension
rolls of Revolutionary soldiers also read with care. It
is hoped that this authentic list will be helpful to those
men and women, descendants of Colver-Culvers, who
desire to become members of one or more of the patriotic
societies of America. Members of the family served
creditably at Concord and Lexington, at Bunker Hill,
at Ticonderoga, at Saratoga, in and around New York
City, in Philadelphia, with Washington at Valley Forge,
with Anthony Wajme at the capture of Stony Point, at
Monmouth, and under Washington and Lafayette in
Virginia.

From this list, and from others which could be com-
piled of those doing military duty in the War of 1812,
the Mexican War and the Civil War, as well as the men
of the Colver family who served their States in the
militia service, it is evident the Colver ancestors have
not been wanting in patriotism and have served their
country with distinction.

in England"), and arrived with the party of emigrants
brought out by John Winthrop in the autumn of 1635.
He was quite a young man at the time and belonged to
the guild of millwrights and wheelwrights, which latter
occupation he followed in America, being sometimes
designated in old records as ''Edward Colver, wheel-
wright/* He was a member of the Massachusetts Bay
Colony at Boston in 1635, ^md was evidently of an
energetic and enterprising spirit, for we find him, very
soon after his arrival, taking part in a meeting at the
Court House in Boston, called for the purpose of forming
a company of colonists willing to push further out into
the wilderness and start a new settlement. These little
colonies of pioneers were the first form of corporate life
in America, and were a sort of joint stock company, the
grant of land being made to such a company in com-
munity of possession, with the avowed purpose of open-
ing up and settling the tract of land given. Later, the
land was set off to each of the members, with the right
to subdivide or sell as he saw best. The settlement now
proposed was situated some distance from Boston, up
the Charles river; it was known at first as "Content-
ment,'* and later as the town of Dedham, Massachu-
setts, the name of Edward Colver being the sixty-eighth
in the list of one hundred and twenty-four in all who
signed the covenant. The original documents give the
name as Colver, though it is sometimes found written
Coluer, the u being used frequently in old English spell-
ing instead of v ; while some branches of the family in

America now use the form Culver, but the original form
was undoubtedly Colver.*

On 28 November, 1637, the following grant of land
was recorded: **Ed. Coluer — 10 — ordered that Edward
Coluer, wheelwright, shal have twoe acres layd out for
ye prsent for imploym't in his trade and after to have
an addicon als wher as shal be found needfuU. In the
meanetyme to have free liberty of taking Timber for
his trade, every man's pp riety — Reserved.*' The next
grant of land was made to him 19 July, 1639, and a third
on 6 February, 1642, of **3 acres, i roode, 24^^." A
fourth grant of woodland was made 4 February, 1644,
and a fifth on 3 February, 1645, o^ ^ small parcel of
land.

Some of this land he sold to Joseph Kent on 26 Feb-
ruary, 1643, and the balance of his Dedham holdings he
sold to Daniel Fisher and Joseph Kent in 1651. He is
mentioned in the minutes of the town meetings at Ded-
ham on I January, 1643, and i January, 1644, and was
a man of affairs in the town he helped to fotmd. He
early took part in the Indian wars, fighting against the
Pequot Indians in 1637, ^nd from that time on was noted
as an Indian scout, being on terms of friendship with j

some of the tribes, who accompanied him on his scout-
ing expeditions. In the first Pequot war in 1637, he
was sent by Colonel John Mason, who commanded the I

little band of ninety whites, to enlist the help of the \

Mohicans, with the result that Uncas brought one hun- |

dred and fifty of his warriors to take part in the battle. j

At daybreak on June 4, 1637, they surprised the Pequots j

in their stronghold and utterly exterminated them, with
the exception of a few who escaped and fled to the Six
Nations in New York Province. King Uncas held
Edward Colver in great esteem, and named his son after
Colver's second son, Joshua. For this service Edward
Colver received two grants of land, one of two hundred
acres in 1652-3, and another in 1654 of four hundred
acres. These grants were situated about four miles
north of the scene of the battle, the two hundred lot

being near the head of the Mystic river and the other
about two miles further to the northwest.* This was
called by the Indians ''Chepadas/* and remained in the
family for generations; the former was sold by Edward
Colver to John Lamb.t

In 1675, when King Philip made war against the
New England colonies, Edward Colver, then an old man
of seventy-five, went out with his four sons, Edward
Junior, Ephraim, Joseph and Samuel, to fight against the
npted Indian Chief. They took part in the ** Swamp
fight'' which occurred near Tiverton, Rhode Island, 19
December, 1675, when the tribes again met with defeat
and heavy loss, Edward Colver was the only soldier
engaged in the ** Swamp fight" who had participated in
the previous Pequot War, and as the tactics of the battle
were the same as on that occasion, it is thought that the
old soldier may have aided Captain Dennison, who com-
manded the Connecticut men at the ** Swamp*' to plan
that attack. The Colonial Records of Connecticut men-
tion the services of Edward Colver as scout as follows:
**The Councill ordered John Stedman and Edward Col-
ver wth somme of the Indians to goe forth upon the
scout betwixt this and Springfield to make what dis-
covery they could upon the enemie to the eastward of
the river. "t And again under date of March 16, 1675:
**An answer to a letter from Mr. Fitch was returned
wth an advice to him to encourage the volunteers and
to improve Uncass and Ninicraft to draw off as many
of the enemie as may be, they delivering up their arms
and ammunition, &c., as also on advice to send home
the garrison soldiers at Norwich; that Edward Colver
wth about 20 Moheags and Pequots come up to Hart-
ford forthwith, &c., as pr the letter on file will more at
large appeare."§

^er moved to Roxbury, Massachusetts, some time be-
tween the date January i, 1644, when he attended a
town meeting at Dedham, and December 3, 1648, when
his son, Gershom, was baptized at Roxbury. In the
**Book of Possessions" of Roxbury there is a record of
an allotment of twelve and one-half acres of land to
Edward Colver about 1648. He resided here till about
1653, at which time he received the grants of land at
Pequot and removed there, purchasing the home-lot
of Robert Burrows. About 1654 he built a water-
power gristmill at the head of the cove at New London,
as Pequot was afterwards called; the gristmill being in
daily use in 1897, ^^^ perhaps later. In 1635, about
the time of his coming to America, Edward Colver
assisted the Winthrops in building a fort at Saybrook,
Conn., the mouth of the Connecticut River.

Like most of those early pioneers, Edward Colver
was a man of many trades, and could turn his hand to
whatever the exigency of the moment called for. The
erstwhile millwright and Indian scout was also a farmer.
After deeding the homestead at Pequot to his son,
John, in 1664, Edward Colver removed to the farm of
four hundred acres called **Chepadas" where he con-
tinued to live till after the close of King Philip's War.*
In 1678 he and his wife, Ann, deeded the "Chepadas"
farm to their sons, Joseph and Ephraim, and removed
to a house in the village of Mystic, built by their son,
Joshua, in 1668. The records of this time speak of
Edward as the ** wheelwright of Mystic;" this trade
being followed by some of his sons and their descend-
ants.f The last years of Edward Colver were passed
in this house on the Groton side of the Mystic River.
He died in 1685, full of years and of honor (probably
85 years of age), leaving to his numerous family not

only a comfortable patrimony, but the record of a good
and useful life, a life which left its characteristics deeply
impressed upon the generations which followed. He
had married at Dedham, Massachusetts, 19 September,
1638, Ann Ellis, the daughter of John Ellis, one of the
signers of the Dedham Covenant. Their marriage is
the second entered in the records of the First Church of
Dedham,* which probably at that time consisted of a
little congregation meeting in one of the houses of the
settlers. The Rev. John AUyn was the pastor, having
been ordained shortly before he performed the mar-
riage between Edward Colver and Ann Ellis. Pour
children were bom at Dedham to the young couple:
John, Joshua, Samuel and Joseph, three more were bom
at Roxbury, Mass., while the two youngest were prob-
ably bom after their parents' removal to Pequot, Conn.
Ann Ellis Colver was admitted to membership in the
First Church at Dedham, 17 September, 1641, her first
child, John, being baptized two days after.f There is
no record of the death of Ann Colver, but she lies buried
beside her husband in the cemetery adjoining the site
on which, in 17 17, the First Baptist Church was built
in Groton, Conn. A small headstone, bearing upon one
face the roughly cut initials **E. C.,'* is supposed to be
that of Edward Colver, who died in the village of Mystic,
Groton township, New London, in the Colony of Con-
necticut.

Samuel is not identified clearly. Hinman, in
his ** Connecticut Settlers," refers to him as
'* Samuel of Farmington,** identifying him with
Samuel Colver who resided at that place and

and had three children; Sylvia, bom 10 October,
1664; Shaler, bom 13 April, 1666; and EUzabeth,

Hinman, Savage, and Caulkins, in their local his-
tories of Connecticut, all mention a Samuel Col-
ver who eloped in 1674 with Martha, the wife of
John Fish, and was not heard of again in those
parts. A Samuel Culliver enlisted in King
Philip's war and was probably killed in the
'* Swamp Fight*' in Rhode Island, in 1675. It
is quite possible that the recreant Samuel was
identical with this soldier, which would account
for his not being heard of again. But whether
Samuel of Farmington was this man is not clear.

2 John ' Colver (Edward 0, the eldest child of
Edward Colver the Puritan and Ann Ellis, his wife, was
bom at Dedham, Massachusetts, 15 April, 1640, and
was baptized there on the 19th of September, 1641.*
The eariiest mention of John Colver in the town records
is in 1 66 1-2, when he received a grant of land in Feb-
ruary of that year; **a portion of the water side next
south of the fort land."t This grant was on the bank
of the Thames at Groton, nearly opposite to the present
New London. A quaint entry in the records of New
London reads as follows: **May 7, 1662, Jon Culver
is chosen for this next yeare to drumm Saboth days and
as formerly for meetings. "J The "drumming'* was to
call the people to church, there being no bells as yet,
the places of worship being of the simplest style of
architecture. In 1664 his father, Edward Colver, re-
linquished to him the homestead in Mystic which he had
bought of Robert Burrows in 1652, and where John had
resided with the rest of the family since that time. In
1672 John Colver was married to Mary, the eldest
daughter of Governor John Winthrop of Connecticut.§
(The author of this genealogy is not satisfied from the
evidence he has been able to collect that this statement
is correct. No record can be found in any of the Win-
throp papers examined of a marriage to any Colver or
Culver.) He probably lived at New Haven at this time,
his first son, John, being bom there, also two other
children at least. About 1679 he returned with his
family to New London, taking up his residence on the

*Some authorities state that John Colver died in 1735 at Mystic, Connecticut.
There is, however, some difficulty in asserting positively that this was the case.
About 1730 or i73at a party of Kog^renes emigrated from the vicinity of New
London, Connecticut, to Morris County, New Jersey. They were led by John
Colver ^he i>arty consisting of twenty-one ijersons in all, among them being
Sarah Winthrop, wife of John Colver*, and ten children. In 1732, on the and
of December, the will of John Colver was filed at Black River, Hunterdon County,
New Jersey, witnessed by John Peel and Seth Smith (a woman). The records

So on to state that soon after this the whole family moved away from Schooley's
[otmtain, Morris Cotmty, where they had located; one son, Jabez, going to
Wantage and the other, John, to Monmouth Cotmty. John is stated to have
rettimed to Schooley's Mountain later, with his two sons, Thomas and Robert,
whose mother is given as Sarah, daughter of Governor Winthrop.' Robert
bought a tract of land on Schooley's Motmtain, and settled upon it, the Colver
burying grotmd being still preserved and now in the possession of the Martinus
family, who own the farm. In this graveyard is the tombstone of John Colver.
who died in 1760 at the age of ninety, and is, presumably, that of Robert's
father; his mother, Sarah Winthrop, died in 1766 at the age of eighty -three.
The difficulty which confronted the present compiler was to reconcile the some-
what conflicting statements of the various local historians ef Connecticut and
New Jersey, and to decide if possible, which John Colver it was who died in
1 732* Some authorities have taken the John Colver*, with wife Sarah, as the
leader of the Rogerenes. In that case confusion arises as to the date of the
will of the John Colver supposed to be the leader, and who died in i73»f with
that of the tombstone of 1760, which is that of the John*, who had wife Sarah.
After carefully comparing the various authorities and records available, the
compiler has reached the following conclusion: John Colver, son of Edward
the Puritan, although an old man of over ninety years, was probably the one
who died in New Jersey in 173a; he may not have been the actual leader of the
party but formed one of them; his son, John, with wife Sarah and sons Thomas
and Robert, was the one who died in 1760, and was the founder of the New
Jersey branch of the Colver family. The other son. Tabez, is not mentioned by
the Connecticut historians, but the New Jersey mstorian, Chambers, in his
"Earlv Germans of New Jersey,'* mentions him. His descendants removed to
Canada. A research of the original will at Hunterdon County and the records
of New Haven and New London, Connecticut, would probably clear up the dif-
ficulty. It should also be stated that there was a John Colver, bom in 1685 at
Norwich, Connecticut, who lived at Lebanon, Connecticut, with his wife, Sarah,
who might be the John whose will was filed at Black River, New Jersey; he had
two children, Martha and Lemuel. He was a cousin of John Colver*, son of
John 2; being the son of Bdward Colver*, the son of Edward* the Puritan.

Joshua Colver of Wallingford, was bom at Dedham,
Massachusetts, 12 January, 1642, and was the second
child of Edward CJolver the Puritan. In 1667 he re-
moved to New Haven, Connecticut, at which place he
was married to Elizabeth Ford, the daughter of Timothy
Ford, on 23 December, 1672. A little later he moved
to Wallingford, Connecticut, being one of the original
proprietors of the town, and a man active in its affairs.
He was propounded for freeman 8 October, 1685.* In
1668 he built a house at Mystic, which his father occu-
pied about ten years later. Major Fitzjohn Winthrop
claimed this land by virtue of a deed from Joshua Col-
ver, and also as being within the bounds of a tract of
land granted to Governor Winthrop by the town of
Mystic in 1652-3 **of 20 pole on each side of the river
from the place where the flowing tides end." Judgment
was given for Major Winthrop. The town records of
Wallingford mention Joshua Colver's name frequently,

Massachusetts, 20 September, 1646; the date of his birth
is not recorded. He followed his father's trade of mill-
wright and wheelwright and resided at New London
in 1676.* In 1678 his father gave his farm called
**Chepadas," which he had received for services in the
Indian wars, to Joseph and his brother, Ephraim.
Joseph afterwards bought Ephraim*s share, and the
**Chepadas*' farm became his homestead, passing from
him to his son, Joseph, and from him down to the seventh
generation of Josephs. In 1700 he deeded to Ephraim
two hundred acres of land: **the 150 acres I bought of
Major John Pynchon of Springfield, Mass., together with
one third part of 150 acres" otherwise described. In
this deed Joseph's age is stated as fifty-two years, which
would place the date of his birth as 1648. In 1729 he
deeded all his real estate to his son, Deacon Joseph
Colver, his death occurring the following year, 1730.

Joseph Colver enlisted among the Connecticut vol-
unteers in the war against King Philip, the noted Indian
Chief, his father and two brothers, Edward and Eph-
raim. taking part in the same contest. The three
brothers each drew ** Cedar Swamp" lots for their serv-
ices in this war, Joseph's number being i74.t At the
time of the war this land formed part of Narragansett
township, and is now Voluntown, Connecticut.

In 1679 Joseph Colver was married to Mercy Win-
throp, the youngest daughter of Governor John Win-
throp of Connecticut, and the sister of his brother John's
wife, Mary.J She survived her husband, and after his
death made her home with her daughter and son-in-
law, Hannah and Stephen Stark, at Lebanon, Connect-
icut. Some good authorities state that the wife of
Joseph Colver was Margaret Gallup, bom in Stonington,
Conn., the daughter of John and Hannah Lake Gallup.
The compiler is strongly inclined to this belief.

7 Edward' Colver (Edward*)- No record of the
birth or baptism of this eighth child of Edward Colver
the Puritan has been found, but as the local records of
New London, Connecticut, mention three children as
having been bom to Edward Colver and his wife, Ann
Ellis, after their removal from Roxbury to Pequot, it
is likely that he was bom about the year 1653-4, at
which time his parents bought the home-lot of Robert
Burrows at Pequot. In the Colonial Records of Con-
necticut he is known as Lieutenant Edward Colver
(sometimes spelled Culver), and local historians desig-
nate him as ** Edward Colver of Norwich,*' and link
him with Edward Colver the Puritan on the ground of
the similarity of names. There is much stronger evi-
dence, however. There were no other Colvers in the
Colony but Edward and his sons. None of the sons
had children bearing the name Edward, nor, if they
had, would the grandchild be of age sufficient to take
part in the Indian war known as **King Philip's War,"
in which the Edward under discussion earned his rank
as Lieutenant, and in which his father and three brothers,
Samuel, Joseph and Ephraim all served ; the two latter,
with Edward, Jtinior, drawing "Cedar Swamp" lots
for their services. f Also, in 1681, there was an action
brought to court by Major Fitzjohn Winthrop to re-
cover some land held by Edward Colver, and claimed by

Major Winthrop on the ground that it was part of the
land granted to his father, Governor John Winthrop
of Connecticut, by the town of Mystic, and released to
him by a deed from Joshua, the second son of Edward,
Senior. This would seem to be a dispute between
the children of the original proprietors as to bounds and
sites of land, the date applying more suitably to Edward,
Junior, than to his father, at that time an old man of
eighty-three or four.*

Edward Colver, Junior, took up his residence in Nof^
wich, Connecticut, when quite a young man, and was
successful in his business in that town, owning land
there. In 1698 he formed one of the pioneers who set-
tled the village of Lebanon, Connecticut, and became
an important factor in the affairs of the new settlement.
He was baptized and admitted to the First Church of
Lebanon in 1701, his wife being admitted in 1703; they
were active members of the church, taking part in the
religious organizations in connection with it. He was
one of the fifty-one original proprietors of Lebanon.f
Here the family resided till 1723, at which time they
moved to Litchfield, which was then being opened for
settlement. The following extracts from the Colonial
Records of Connecticut show that Edward Colver served
the community in various useful ^capacities, including
the occupation of surveyor, and like his father, was an
Indian scout. *' Agreement as to dividing line between

8 Ephraim' Colver (Edward 0, the ninth and

known about him beyond the fact that he served in
King Philip's War with his father and three brothers,
Samuel, Joseph and Edward. They all took part in the
** Cedar Swamp'* battle at Tiverton, Rhode Island, 19
December, 1675, for which service Joseph, Edward and
Ephraim were awarded lots in what is now Voluntown,
Connecticut, the land upon which the town stands hav-
ing been granted to the Connecticut Volunteers in that
war.* In 1678 Edward Colver the Puritan gave his
farm of four hundred acres, called by the Indians **Che-
padas, " which he had received as reward for his services
in the Pequot War of 1637, to ^is sons Joseph and Eph-
raim. Ephraim sold his portion of the estate to Joseph
sometime later, but seems to have lived always in the
vicinity. His wife's name was Mary. He died 11
March, 1709, and was buried in the cemetery at Groton,
Connecticut, where his father also lies.

THIRD GENERATION

THIRD GENERATION

9 John' Colver (John', Edward*), was bom at
New Haven, Connecticut, in 1674,* and was the eldest
child of John Colver of New London, his mother being
Mary Winthrop, the daughter of John Winthrop, Gov-
ernor of Connecticut. His early life was spent in Con-
necticut, in the vicinity of New London, and is most
probably the John Colver who became a leader in a re-
ligious sect called '*Rogerenes" about this time, the
name of the wife of the Rogerene further verifying the
conclusion reached, although local historians of Con-
necticut and New Jersey have somewhat mixed the
father and son. The wife of John Colver, Junior, was
named Sarah (stated by Chambers in his Early Germans
of New Jersey to be the daughter of Governor John
Winthrop of Connecticut, in which case she must have
been his cousin, and the daughter of Major Fitzjohn
Winthrop, Governor of Connecticut from 1698 to 1707),
while that of his mother was Mary, as stated above.

The peculiar doctrines held by the Rogerenes soon
brought John Colver into friction with the authorities.
They denied the right of the courts to punish for sabbath-
breaking, about which the Puritans were very severe,
traveling on the sabbath being especially forbidden, or
any noise during the hours of worship. The following
extract from the records is the first of a series, and the
friction was probably the cause of a band of the new
sect seeking another home in New Jersey. **May, 17 16.
The Honble the Govemour having informed this Court
that several persons, viz., John BoUes and his wife;
John Culver and his wife, all of New London, pursuant
to an act entitled An Act for the ease of such as soberly
dissent from the way of worship and ministry estab-
lished by the laws of this government have been lately
committed to the gaol in New London for disturbing

the congregation in said town whereof the Rev. Mr.
Addams is minister, in the time of their being assembled
for divine worship on the Lord's Day, being 2 ad day of
April last and are still in custody of the said goal; and
the Govemour having moreover signified that some re-
lated to the said prisoners have assured him that they
were altogether ignorant of the said law and that their
offence be overiooked it may be hoped they will not in
like manner offend. It is ordered by the Govemour,
Gjuncil and Representatives in General Gjurt assembled,
and by authority of the same that the said prisoners be
released from the said gaol and that in case they behave
themselves orderiy, rest content with the liberty granted
them by the said law, and for the future do not offend
in like manner by offering disturbance to any congre-
gations lawfully assembled for religious worship they
shall not be prosecuted for said offence committed by

them And it is further ordered that the

Secretary forthwith direct a copy of this act to the
sheriff of the County of New London which shall be suf-
ficient warrant for his releasing of them from the cus-
tody of the gaol; the said prisoners first paying their
prison fees.'** In July, 1726, six Rogerenes were ap-
■prehended at Norwich for travelling on the sabbath
and imprisoned. One of them was Sarah Culver, called
by them the ''singing sister.** In defence they stated
they were on their way from Groton to Lebanon,
to baptize Mary Mann into their communion. Some
of the Rogerenes had previously been arrested and fined
5s 6d for sabbath-breaking, and in this case travelled
in defiance of the law, and boasted they could buy the
idolator*s sabbath for five shillings each.f A few years
after this, about 1730-173 2, a company of Rogerenes,
from the vicinity of New London, Connecticut, moved
to New Jersey, settling on the west side of Schooley*s
Mountain, Morris County. The party consisted of John
Colver and his wife, Sarah, with several children, besides
other persons to the number of twenty-one in all. J
They were the oldest settlers in that part of Morris

County of whom there is any record. The will of a
John Colver was filed at Black River, Hunterdon County,
New Jersey, 2 December, 1732; it is not clear who this
John Colver was, but probably he was John *, the father
of the John ' of this sketch, as the records speak of him
as having sons John and Jabez who moved away from
Schooley's Mountain after the death of the first John.
Sometime later John' Colver returned to Schooley's
Mountain with his two sons, Thomas and Robert.
Thomas settled in Drakestown, Morris County, New
Jersey, from whence his grandson, David, moved to
La Fayette. Robert bought land at Schooley's Moun-
tain and settled there, the Colver burying ground being
on this farm. John ' Colver's grave is in this little plot,
among others of the family; the stone bearing witness
that he died in 1760, at the age of ninety years. This
would agree well with the date of the birth of the second
John Colver at New Haven about 1672, and also con-
firms the theory that the John Colver who led the party
of Rogerenes to New Jersey was not the one with the
wife, Sarah, as sometimes stated, but the son of that
John, and, with his wife and children, part of that com-
pany. Sarah Winthrop Colver died in 1766 at the age
of eighty-three.* After some generations, the farm of
Robert Colver, with the little burying place, passed into
the hands of the family of William Martinus.

who went from Connecticut to New Jersey in 1732.
Very soon after their arrival in New Jersey, the Colvers
moyed away from Schooley's Mountain, Morris County,
where they had located. Jabez went to Wantage, Sus-
sex County, New Jersey.f

after his birth. Ephraim was bom at Norwich, Con-
necticut, 14 December, 1683, and went with his parents
to Lebanon, Connecticut, when they moved to that
place in 1698. He was married at Lebanon 6 November,
1707, to Martha Hibbard, and spent practically all his
life in Connecticut. He took an active interest in the
affairs of the towns of Lebanon and Litchfield, and was
the owner of lands which are undoubtedly of great value
to their present holders. There is record in the First
Church at Lebanon of the admission to church member-
ship in 1725 of Ephraim and Martha Colver. His father
and brothers, Samuel, Hezekiah and Daniel, were all
original proprietors at Litchfield as early as 1723, and
it is probable that Ephraim moved there about the
same time; his death occurring at Litchfield 10 Feb-
ruary, 1729.

19 John* Colvsr (Edward', Edward 0> was bom
at Norwich, Connecticut, 15 November, 1685. His

wife's name was Sarah , and from this fact

some authorities have identified him with the John
Colver who took a party of Rogerenes to New Jersey and
formed a settlement there. A close scrutiny of the
two, however, leads to the discarding of this conclusion ;
although this John may have gone to New Jersey also,
and might be the John Colver who died soon after the
Rogerene colony emigrated there, and whose will was
dated 2 December, 1732, at Black River, Hunterdon
County, N. J. It is clearly established that the John
Colver of Schooley's Mountain, Morris County, N. J.,
had two sons, Thomas and Robert, and from an old
gravestone in the littie burying place of the Colvers,
still to be seen on the Martinus farm, which forms part
of the land bought by Robert Colver, son of John, in
1748, we learn that he died in 1760, at the age of ninety.
This would apply to the John Colver, son of John and
grandson of Edward, who was bom at New Haven in
1670 or 1674; whereas John Colver, son of Edward and
grandson of Edward the Puritan, was bom ten years
ktter, as stated above. The identity of the names of the
two cousins and their wives, together with the fact of
there being no record of the John under discussion in
the Norwich or Lebanon records after 1721, at which
date he was received into membership of the church at
Norwich, raises the question as to their identity.

COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY 67

20 Samuel' Colver (Edward*, Edward *)• the fifth
surviving son of Edward Colver of Norwich, was bom
at that place ii February, 1691. When he was about
eight years old his parents removed to Lebanon, Gjn-
necticut, and there Samuel grew up to manhood, taking
an active part in the affairs of the town, of which his
father was one of the original settlers. He was married
at Lebanon to Hannah Hibbard 13 May, 1714. She
was the daughter of Robert and Mary Walden Hibbard
of Lebanon. Nine children were bom of this marriage ;
all of them at Lebanon, except the last three, who were
bom at Litchfield, Connecticut. Samuel, with his father
and two brothers, Hezekiah and Daniel, removed to
Litchfield when that place was opened for settlement,
about 1722-3 ; they were all original proprietors, and were
intimately associated with the growth and development
of the town. In 1723 Samuel Colver assisted in the
building of town forts; in 1725 he was a town surveyor
and one of a list of proprietors; a school trustee in 1731 ;
then a selectman, and in 1744 a sergeant. He was a
large land holder, his name occurring frequently in the
Land Records at Litchfield; he also held responsible
appointments from the Colonial Assembly of Connecti-
cut,* reference to him being made quite often in the
Colonial data of this time in this locality. In 1741 he
was a member of the General Court at Litchfield. About
the years 1743-45, he deeded much land to his sons,
Benjamin, Zebulon, Samuel, Joshua, and Ebenezer;
also in 1752 he made deeds of land to the two youngest
sons, Nathaniel and Jonathan. There are also deeds of
land to his daughter, Zeruiah, who was married to
Ebenezer Taylor. In 1768 he deeded land to his son,
Nathaniel, and his last deed is recorded in 1770; probably
a short time before his death.

Samuel Colver was a liberal contributor to the church
at Litchfield, taking much interest in its management
and work. He died at Litchfield, probably in the year
1770; the exact date is not known, but it occurred
shortly before that of his wife, Hannah, which is re-
corded on 6 July, 1770. From his prominence in the

FOURTH GENERATION

22 Thomas^ Colver (John*, John', Edward*),
was probably bom in the vicinity of New London, Con-
necticut, prior to 1732, in which year his father was one
of a party of twenty-one Rogerenes who emigrated from
New London, Connecticut, and settled for a time on the
west side of Schooley's Mountain, Morris Cotmty, New
Jersey. After three years John Colver, with his two
sons, Thomas and Robert, moved away from Schooley's
Mountain; Thomas settling finally at Drakestown,
N. J. Here he bought one hundred acres from Thomas
Batson in 1749. His will was probated 27 September,
1786, in which five children were named.*

Warren Cotmty, N. J., 1 789-1 794.

V Lydia; married Winkler.

23 Robert^ Colver Qohn», John', Edward*),
son of John Colver and his wife, Sarah Winthrop, was
probably bom in Connecticut, some time prior to 1732,
about which time his parents moved from New London,
Connecticut, to Schooley's Mountain, Morris County,
N. J. They were members of a religious sect called
Rogerenes, who had experienced considerable friction
with the authorities in Connecticut on account of their
peculiar doctrines. The Colver family moved away
from Schooley's Mountain after three years, but Robert
and his father returned there about eleven years later.
Robert bought two hundred and sixty-five acres of land
on Schooley's Mountain from William Cook in 1748. t

of land from his father, who divided much property
among his children during his lifetime. He was mar-
ried to Sarah Hinman on 16 November, 1749, and re-
sided for many years> at Chestnut Hill, just east of
Litchfield proper. About 1770 Jonathan Colver re-
moved with his family to that section of Albany County,
N. Y., known in Revolutionary days as Spencertown.
It is now called Columbia County, lie towns of Caroon
and Austerlitz having succeeded Spencertown. Jona-
than's brother, Nathaniel, had already preceded him
there. Later he became a resident of Canaan, N. Y.,
where he was appointed "pathmaster," or Voad viewer,
in 1776; which was quite a responsible position in Co-
lonial days. On 6 Jime, 1776, he enlisted as a Private
in Captain Theodore Woodbridge's Company, Col.
Samuel Elmore's Regiment, which was composed of
men from sections of Connecticut, Massachusetts and
New York, which lay adjacent. Later he was a mem-
ber of Captain Alexander Baldwin's Company of Albany

COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY 83

County Rangers, enlisting in March, 1777. He had
also been a soldier in the French and Indian War, serv-
ing tinder Major John Durkee in 1762. In the United
States Census of 1790 he appears as a resident of the
town of Canaan, Columbia County, N. Y., as do also
his sons, Edward, Jonathan, and Solomon. He died
at Canaan in 1808, his wife surviving him. His will
was probated 7 June, 1808.

42 Reverend Nathaniel* Colver (SamtjeP, Ed-
ward', Edward *)» the ninth child and sixth son 6f
Samuel and* Hannah Hibbard Colver, was bom at
Litchfield, Connecticut, 29 June, 1728. He grew up
to manhood in the then small settlement of Litchfield,
of which his father was one of the original settlers and
proprietors, taking an interest in its social, religious and
business life while a growing boy and young man. In
1752 he received from his father a gift of property in the
vicinity of Litchfield, in accordance with Samuel Colver's
plan of dividing his estate among his children during his
own lifetime.

Nathaniel Colver held the following positions of pub-
lic trust in his native town: In 1753 he was grand juror;
lister in 1755; member of 5th Company (Captain John
Patterson of Farmington) in Col. Phineas Lyman's
(Conn.) Regiment in 1755; selectman in 1758. In
1757 he was among the grantees or proprietors of the
territory of Spencer Township in Albany County, New
York, where Caroon and Austerlitz are now located.
About this time he also removed to that locality and took
up his residence at Spencertown, where there are many
deeds on record, both from him and to him, which de-

84 COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY

scribe him as of that place.* In 1767 he was sent with
John Savage from Albany County (now Columbia
Coimty), N. Y., to England to lay disputed titles before
the English Crown. In 1770 he was first Lieutenant in
Colonel John Van Renssalaer's Regiment of New York
Militia (Albany County); and was recommended for
Captain in the same year. In 1772 and 1780 he was
appointed by the Crown as Justice of the Peace for
Albany County. In 1775 he was one of the deputies
to the Provincial Congress from Albany County. The
war of the Revolution was now in full progress, and
Nathaniel Colver was not slow to take his share in the
struggle for American Independence. On 17 April,
1776, he enlisted from Spencertown, N. Y., in Captain
Joel Dickinson's Company, Colonel Samuel Elmore's
Regiment. Captain Dickinson's Company was com-
posed of men from the three adjacent cotmties of Litch-
field, Conn., Berkshire, Mass., and Columbia, N. Y., and
for this reason credit for the service of Nathaniel Colver
is given to Connecticut.f He also served as Ensign in
the Albany County Militia, under Captain Salisbury,
Colonel W. B. Whitney's 17th Regiment, for which serv-
ice he had Land Bounty rights. J Later he served as a
Private in Captain Gilmore's Company, Colonel Van
Woert's Regiment, New York Militia, and was also
listed as entitled to Land Bounty rights in the 9th Reg-
iment, his name being then given as Nathaniel Colverur. §
At just what period of his life Nathaniel Colver began
his work as a preacher of the gospel is not known;
but after his services in the Continental Army in the
Revolution, there is mention of his effective work for
the Baptist denomination as a circuit elder or minister.

^Smith's History of Dutchess County, New York, speaks of an Elisha Colver

who ''settled near the old Baptist Church at Spencer's Comers The

family have preserved a deed written by him which is dated 1764. He had
three sons and four daughters: Elisha, Jr.» Joseph, John, Hannah, Santh, Martha

and Polly John became a Methodist pij^cher He was

licensed to exhort Jiuy, 1790." This Elisha may be identical with Elishama
(son of Ephraim Colver, brother of Samuel), cousin of the Nathaniel Colver
under disctission, and h^ presence in New York State may have been an in*
ducement for Nathaniel going there also.

COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY 86

For some time his labors were confined to the small
settlements of northwestern Connecticut. In 1787 he
was located at Hubbardton, Vermont, where there was
a small Baptist commimity. In the Town Records of
Hubbardton, Book i, there is recorded a deed from
"Ithmar Grejgory to Nathaniel Culver," dated 24 May,
1788, conveying fifty-three and one-third acres of land
for the sum of ;£8o. A second deed from *'Ithmar
Gregory to Nathaniel Culver,'' is dated 16 January, 1789,
and a third, from Thaddeus Gilbert, on 22 December^

1794.
A thrifty little village, surrounded by a beautiful

farming country, grew up at Hubbardton, and with it
a small Baptist Church Society, of which the Reverend
Nathaniel Colver appears to have been the leader. His
name is attached to the ** Articles of Faith" forming
the Baptist organization 17 January, 1788,* and the
pastor's house was the meeting place for frequent serv-
ices and business transactions in connection with the
organization. Here Nathaniel Colver passed the re-
mainder of his life, preaching the gospel and farming his
land; a quiet, peaceful life; and here he died at the ad-
vanced age of over eighty years, after a long and useful
career, 19 February, 1809.

At the age of twenty-four, on 23 November, 1752,
Nathaniel Colver was married to Ruth Kilboum of
Litchfield, the daughter of Captain Joseph Kilboum.
She was a descendant of an old and distinguished English
family of title, the family having been authentically
traced back to Sir William De Kilboume, Lord of the
Manor of Kilboume, Yorkshire, England, 1233, by
Payne Kenyon Kilboum, A. M., of the New England
Historic-Genealogical Society, in his book upon the
Kilboum family.

Thomas Kilboume, the founder of the family in
America, was bom at Wood Ditton, England, in 1578,

Connecticut, where he died about 1639. His son»
spoken of in the Colonial History of Connecticut as
Sergeant John Kilboume, was also bom at Wood Ditton,
the date of his birth being 29 September, 1624. With
his parents he embarked for New England 15 April,
1634, on board the ship ** Increase,'* of which Robert
Lea was Master. He was made Collector of Taxes at
Wethersfield 24 September, 1647, a^d later was Sur-
veyor. In May, 1657, he was appointed Sergeant by
the General Court, and was chosen Representative in
the Colonial Assembly of the Connecticut Colony in
1662. For more than forty years he took an active
part in public affairs, his death occurring 9 April, 1703.
On his tombstone is the following inscription: ** Ser-
geant John Kilboume departed this life on the 9th of
April, 1703, in his 79th year, of his age about 80 years,
as nigh as could be come at." The inscription on his
wife's tombstone reads: "Sarah, his wife, died Dec. 4,
17 1-, aged 70 years, or something more."

Among the children of Sergeant Kilboume by his
second wife, Sarah Bronson, whom he married i October,
1659, was Joseph Kilboume, bom about 1674, who
married at Wethersfield 4 June, 1696, Dorothy Butler.
He was among the earliest immigrants to Litchfield,
going there 12 December, 172 1. He held important
public offices at Litchfield, being chosen at different
times, as Selectman, Lister, Sealer of Weights and
Measures, and was Moderator of several town meetings.
He died in 1744, his will being dated **In the nth Year
of the Reign of our Sovereign Lord, George the Second,
Anno Domini, 1737."

Captain Joseph Kilboum, the father of Ruth Kilboum
Colver, was the son of the above Joseph Kilboum, and
was bom at Wethersfield 9 July, 1700. He inunigrated
to Litchfield with his parents in 1721, and was married
there to Abigail Stockwell 12 November, 1723. Cap-
tain Kilboum was frequently re-elected Surveyor
Lister, Grand Juror, Collector, and was Selectman 1740
1750, 1752. He was commissioned Captain of the
First Military Company at Litchfield by Governor Law
and was chosen Representative in the Connecticut

COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY 87

Legislature in 1752, 1753. From an old voltune we
learn that "he was one of the original founders of the
Episcopal Church and Society in Litchfield in 1745; a
liberal benefactor of the parish.** He died in 1756, his
wife having died six years before, 20 May, 1748.

The Kilboum family is one of the best known in early
Connecticut history, many of its members holding pub-
lic positions of trust and prominence, both civil and
military. During the struggle for independence in
the Colonies of America they took an active share with
the Continentals, serving the cause with gallantry and
distinction.

Ruth E^ilboum, the daughter of Captain Joseph Kil-
boum, was bom at Litchfield 9 May, 1734, and was
therefore in her nineteenth year at the time of her mar-
riage to Nathaniel Colver. Their first four children
were bom at Litchfield, the dates and birthplaces of the
other six have not yet been obtained. In the pictur-
esque old burying ground at what is now East Hub-
bardton, Vermont, will be found, side by side, two
modest gravestones bearing the inscriptions: "Na-
thaniel Colver, died Feb. 19 , in the 80th year of

his age.'* **In memory of Ruth, consort of Nathaniel
Colver, died Aug. 19, 1818, in the 8sth year of her age."
These graves are very near the public road, a^d are
among the oldest in the cemetery. Within sight of
them is the handsome monument, erected by the people
of the vicinity to commemorate the battle of Hubbard-
ton during the Revolution. Nathaniel and Ruth Colver
lived long and useful lives, filled with earnest Christian
work, and their names have been held in high esteem by
their descendants.

64 Gideon* Colver (Samuel*, Samuel", Edward*,

Revolutionary soldier, the following records being taken
from Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the War of
the Revolution, Vols. 3 and 4. "Gideon Colver, Private,
Egremont; six months' men during 1780; discharged
14 Nov. 1780; served four months and eighteen days.
Gideon Culver, New Marlborough ; list of men six months'
service, returned by Brig. Gen. Patterson as having

Oct., 1780."

65 Joseph* Colver (Samuel*, SamueP, Edward*,
Edward*), son of Samuel and Margaret Colver, was
bom 6 May, 1761, at Egremont, Berkshire County,
Mass., and died at Owasco Lake (Scipio), Cayuga County,
N. Y., 28 August, 1849. He was married in 1784 to
Rebecca Root, the daughter of Joshua and Abigail Olds
Root. She was bom 3 January, 1765, and died 3 June,
1836.

Joseph Colver had a long and honorable record for
service in the Revolutionary War. The following is
taken from Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the
Revolutionary War, Vol. 4 : * * Joseph Culver. Egremont .
Mustered between 20 Jany., 1777, and i June, 1778,
by Truman Wheler, muster master for Berkshire County;
enlisted for three years, probably in Capt. Fitch's Com-

100 COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY

pany. Also Private 6th Company, Col. John Bailey's
Regt., Continental Army pay accounts for service from
IS March, 1777, to 31 Dec, 1779. Also Capt. Isaac
Warren's (6th) Company, Col. Bailey's Regt.; return
dated Valley Forge, 24 Jany., 1778. Also Capt. Thos.
Bradford's Company, Col. Bailey's Regt., Continental
Army pay accounts, service from Jany. i, 1780, to
April 15, 1780." From this record it is evident Joseph
Colver gave continuous service from 15 March, 1777,
to 15 April, 1780, besides service under Capt. Fitch, of
which no dates are obtainable, but undoubtedly prior
to 1777. Family tradition also places him with Ethan
Allen at Ticonderoga, 10 May, 1775. During the time
of the Revolution he was a resident of the town of
Egremont, Mass. He was in the battle of Saratoga
(Bemis Heights) when the British General, Burgoyne,
surrendered, and was one of a detail that carried Benedict
Arnold, who was wounded in that battle, on a litter to
Albany. He was with Washington and the Conti-
nental Army during the memorable winter at Valley
Foi^e, 1777-8, and was nursed through a severe illness
in the army hospital at that time. He was with
General Anthony Wayne, 16 June, 1779, at the capture
of Stony Point, and during the winter of 1779-80 was
stationed at West Point. In the two great struggles
between America and Great Britain, Joseph Colver and
his immediate family were directly concerned. His
father, himself, and his three brothers, Daniel, Samuel
and Gideon, were all participants in the Revolution;
while in the War of 181 2 his two sons, Samuel and
Simon, fought for the American cause. At the close
of the Revolution, Joseph Colver removed to Coopers-
town, Otsego County, N. Y., and later he made his
home on the west bank of Owasco Lake, N. Y.,
where he built a substantial house, saw mill,
and other farm buildings. He also lived for a time
at Fleming, Ca)ruga 'County, N. Y. His old farm
passed into the hands of his son, Samuel, then to his
grandson, Ephraim, and in 1906 was in the possession
of his great-grandson, George Culver. He is said to

COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY 101

have been an enthusiastic fisherman at the age of eighty-
six, and was all his life a strict Methodist.

Rebecca Root, the wife of Joseph Colver, was a direct
descendant of John Roote of Farmington, Connecticut,
a pioneer of 1640, from whom the Honorable Elihu
Root, former Secretary of State in the Roosevelt Cabinet,
and now United States Senator from New York, is also
descended.

67 Solomon • Colver (Jonathan*, Samuel', Ed-
ward', Edward*), son of Jonathan and Sarah Hinman
Colver, was bom at Chestnut Hill, Litchfield Township,
Connecticut, 18 August, 1760, and was married to
Lodamia Burr in 1 781. She was the daughter of Samuel
Burr, Senior, of Wintonbury Parish, Township of
Farmington, Conn., and his wife. Christian Cadwell, and
a descendant of Benjamin Burr, one of the original
settlers of Hartford, Conn. She was bom 13 September,
1764.

Sometime about 1770 Solomon Colver removed with
his family to Spencertown, New York, now a part of
Columbia County, whither his father, Jonathan Colver,
and his tmcle, Nathaniel Colver, had preceded him.

COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY 103

He resided there until about 1792. In 1777 he served
under Captain Ebenezer Benjamin in the 17th (King's
District) New York State Militia, commanded by Colonel
William Bradford Whitney. This Company was often
designated as the 5th Company, 17th Regiment. He
performed honorable service at and arotmd Saratoga
and Fort Edward during the retreat of Burgoyne, and
was for a time under General Schuyler, although not
engaged in any of the important battles of the Revolu-
tion.

In 1792 he removed to Pennsylvania, settling in the
vicinity of Wilkesbarre, where he resided for sixteen
years, when, in 1809, he took his family to Fredericktown,
Ohio, and later to Richland County, near Mansfield,
where, in 18 14-15, he was a township trustee. Here,
with his large family, he lived a quiet and somewhat
uneventful life in the **Ohio Country," as it was then
called. He died 2 April, 1835, in his seventy-fifth year,
his wife dying 3 October, 1834, in her seventy-first year.
Their descendants are located principally in Ohio and
the Middle and Western States.

68 Reverend Nathaniel* Colver (Nathaniel*,

*The order of birth of these children is not known; it is probable that most
of them were born near Wilkesbarre, Pa. Frederick Burr was bom in Ohio in
1809, and was probably the youngest of this large fanuly.

104 COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY

was bom at Litchfield, Connecticut, 27 September, 1755.
His early life was spent in the vicinity of his birthplace,
and at the age of nineteen he was married to Esther
Dean, 19 September, 1774, eight of their eleven children
being bom at or near Litchfield.

Like his father, Nathaniel Colver became a preacher
in the Baptist denomination soon after the close of the
Revolutionary War; his work being in many of the small
towns of northwestern Connecticut, Massachusetts and
Vermont. About this period there appears to have
been quite an exodus from what is now Litchfield County,
Connecticut, to parts of Massachusetts and Vermont.
Many members of the Colver family took part in this
movement; among them Nathaniel Colver with his wife,
Esther Dean, and their eight children. Many of the
family records relating to this time were lost in the great
fire in Chicago of 187 1. They had been collected by
the Reverend J. A. Smith, who was at the time engaged
in the preparation of his work upon the life of the Rev-
erend Nathaniel Colver, the son of the subject of this
sketch. This work was afterwards published in 1873.
The oldest paper saved from the fire bears the date of
March 7, 1793, and notes the arrival of Nathaniel and
Esther Dean Colver, with their children, at Orwell,
Vermont. The following Sunday he preached at that
place. Orwell is very near Hubbardton, Vermont,
at which town Nathaniel Colver*s father, also named
Nathaniel, was located as a Baptist preacher. In Book
I of the Hubbardton Town Records there is a dejed from
Nathaniel Colver of Orwell to Benjamin Caldwell of the
State of Massachusetts Bay, dated 23 December, 1794.

Sometime in the year 1795, Nathaniel Colver left
Orwell for the frontier settlement of Champlain, Clinton
County, New York; organizing a Baptist Church there
in 1798, and continuing his labors in that place with
varying success until 1810. His wife, who had been a
source of great inspiration and help to him, and whose
talents and temperament so eminently fitted her for a
clergyman's wife, died at Champlain, 3 * September,
1810. He resigned his pastorate at Champlain in 1810,
and was succeeded by his son. Reverend Phineas Colver,

COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY 105

at whose installation he officiated before he left for his
new field of work at West Stockbridge, Massachusetts.
Here he continued his pastoral work for the remaining
years of his life. He died at West Stockbridge i6 April,
1831, in his seventy-sixth year, after a long and useful
life. It was at West Stockbridge that his youngest
son, Nathaniel Colver, who afterwards became a noted
preacher, and who was the first pastor of Tremont
Temple, Boston, began his csireer as a minister.

He was survived by a large family of children, having
had eleven by his first wife, Esther Dean, and four by
his second wife, Catherine/ Baker, whom he married
24 March, 1811.

Esther Dean, the first wife of Nathaniel Colver, was
descended from the distinguished and talented family
of Dean, coming from a valley called ''Taunton Dean**
on the river Tone, England. Several branches of the
family came to America. John and Walter Dean made
the first settlement of Taunton, Massachusetts, in 1637.
Thomas Dean came over from England in the ship
"Elizabeth and Ann," 9 May, 1635, ^.nd settled at Con-
cord; while the early history of Connecticut contains
many references to the Deans. Some of them were in-
terested in the First Congregational Church at Canaan,
which was organized in 1741 ; Josiah Dean being among
the first group of men who opened up that place for
settlement. Among the first recorded papers are deeds
of land from and to Josiah Dean and Josiah Dean, Junior,
in 1745. On 3 December, 1788, it is recorded that
Oliver, Benijah, David, Urijah and Isaac Dean at-
tended Baptist meetings; and there is also other evi-
dence that many of the Dean family were attached to
the Baptist Church. In the old cemeteries in the vicinity
of Canaan there are many tombstones bearing the name
of Dean. The fanwly also contributed many soldiers to
the Continental Army during the War of the Revolu-
tion.

Esther Dean was the daughter of John and Thankful
Dean. She was possessed of rare grace and beauty,
combined with an intellectuality not often found among
the women of those pioneer days. Some of her imme-

106 COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY

diate ancestors were gifted speakers, and it is probable
that much of the ability which the Colvers of this branch
afterwards possessed as preachers, lawyers and public
speakers was inherited from her. Among the brothers of
Esther Dean were John Dean, Erastus Dean and Judge
James Dean. Judge Dean was a noted lawyer of his day,
and prepared and negotiated many of the treaties between
the State of New York and the Indian tribes of western
New York. Many thrilling events occurred in the life
of Judge Dean, who was first a missionary among the
Indians of the Oneida tribes, and lived with them many
years, learning their languages and habits. He influenced
the Canadian Indians to side with the American Colonists
at the time of the Revolution, and acted as U. S. Agent
of Indian Affairs in the Revolutionary War. He re-
sided for some years at Syracuse, N. Y. Mrs. Thankful
Dean, mother of Mrs. Colver, who resi4ed with her
daughter at Champlain, N. Y., died at that place 14
November, 1803, John Dean, her husband, having died
1 2 September, 1793.

pleting a course of medical study, preparatory to
entering that profession, when he died at the age
of twenty-two, 11 May, 1809. He died at Cham-
plain, his loss being a great sorrow to his parents,
who were struggling to keep a small church to-
gether and run a farm. .^i\

*Thie first eight children of Nathaniel and Esther Dean Colver were bom at
or near Litchfield, Connecticut; the next three were bom at Orwell, Vermont,

and swimming ashore. He was never captured again.
At the conclusion of the Revolutionary War he was
granted a lai^ge tract of land of several hundred acres
in Saratoga County for his services in the war. This
tract was part of the confiscated and escheated estate
of Governor Johnson. Daniel Weeks was a large dealer
in livestock and agricultural products, and died one of

COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY 119

Mrs. Lovina Culver-Banks had an eventful life, going
west in her early youth. She was bom on her father's
farm near Scipio, Cajruga County, N. Y. After her
marriage she removed to Illinois where both the pleasures
and hardships of a pioneer life were experienced. After
the death of her husband in 1843 she went to live with
her daughter, Mrs. Louisa (Banks) Haskins and family.
And in 1855 they again took up pioneer life farther
west, moving to Grundy County, Iowa. She was a
woman of dauntless courage and strength of character,
very independent in thought and action. She lived
to the great age of more than 92 years. Her constitu-
tion was one of the strongest, her health being main-
tained to the last. She would walk on foot over a mile
to church long after she was eighty years of age, pre-
ferring to do so, rather than wait for some one to drive
with her. Even when she was ninety years old she
would slip out and walk to a neighbor's for a visit,
without apprising the family of her intention, fearing
they might ask her to ride. She was in many ways a
remarkable women. Her memory and faculties remain-
ing unimpaired to the end of her long life.

Her husband, Obediah Banks, was bom near Hartford,
Conn. In his early manhood he went to New York
City, there learning the carpenter's trade, in which he
was engaged for a number of years. He ever did con-
scientious work, every thing had to be exactly right to
meet his approbation. Later he went to farming in
New York State. This occupation he followed during
the remainder of his life.

manhood at Scipio, his birthplace, and married Miss
Kirby, whose home was on a farm several miles distant.
This young couple first met at a ** spelling school,'*
where the pupils of one country school were matched
against the other school. Susan was the champion
of her school, "spelling down" everyone in the room,
winning the laurels for her school when she was but
fifteen years of age. They spent over fifty-five years
together in wedded life, celebrating their golden wed-
ding 29 December, 1875, at Wataga, Illinois.

They resided at Scipio, New York, till 1829, when they
and their eldest daughter, Caroline, removed to West-

W., and Cynthia Jane, were bom. In 1842 they took
up their residence in Summit County, Ohio, their young-
est child, William Eugene, being bom there. In 1850
the family settled in Knox County, Illinois, remaining
in the county the remainder of their lives, living for a
number of years at Wataga, Illinois. William Ctdver
united with the Free Will Baptist Church in 1843, while
living in Ohio. After coming to Illinois he did not
unite with any church. Mrs. Culver was a member of
the Baptist Church for many years, but after coming to
Illinois joined the Congregational Church at Wataga,
Illinois, of which she was a member for thirty years,
until her death.

Crapo, was a member of Congress 1879-1881. Mrs.
Susan W. (Kirby) Culver was a lineal descendant of
more than one Pilgrim of the Mayflower, 1620. On her
mother's side she had a number of distinguished rela-
tives. Her mother's great-grandmother, Penelope*

103 Reverend Phineas • Colver (Nathaniel ', Na-
thaniel *, Samuel ', Edward ', Edward *). was the second
child and eldest son of the Reverend Nathaniel and
Esther Dean Colver, and was bom at Litchfield, Con-
necticut, 4 December, 1777. The date of his ordina-
tion is not known, but he succeeded his father as pastor
of the Baptist Church at Champlain, New York, in 1810.
He was then in his thirty-third year, a tall, fine-looking
man. He remained at Champlain until the ravages of
the War of 181 2 dissolved his congregation, whose ter-
ritorial limits touched the Canadian border. In March,
18 14, he removed to Vermont and was settled over a
Baptist Church at Swanton; continuing there until
18 1 8, when he accepted a call from the churches of
Milton and Colchester, Vermont. His next pastorate
was at the Baptist Church of Fort Ann and Kingsbury,
New York, remaining there for about six years.

While on a visit to his son, De Witt Lane Colver, at
La Porte, or Kingsbury, Indiana, Phineas Colver es-
tablished a church at that place in 1833. As he was
returning home to the. east by wagon he got as far as
Livonia, near Buffalo, New York, and died there 10
September, 1834.

Phineas Colver was a man of broad and liberal views,
a sound and logical preacher, and of great energy of
character. He had married about 1800 Eunace Lane,
the daughter of Joseph Lane of Granby, Massachusetts,
his choice being a particularly happy one. Always in

COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY 129

close sympathy with his work, she proved a true "help-
mate" to him, aiding him considerably in his duties as
pastor. They had a large family of children, many of
whom were soon scattered widely, making the obtain-
ing of their biographies difficult. Eunace Lane Colver
survived her husband, Phineas Colver, and married a
second time. Her second husband's name was Caleb
Green, whom she seems also to have survived, for she
made her home with her son, Joseph Colver, at Burling-
ton, Vermont, for many years before her death, which
occurred 20 November, 1856, in her seventy-seventh
year.

The ancestors of Eunace Lane were Puritans who
settled in Massachusetts Bay Colony sometime between
1630 and 1640. One of the Lane genealogies states
that a member of the Lane family went to England with
William the Conqueror in the nth Century. Job Lane,
probably the first of the family to come to America, was
but fifteen years of age when he arrived in Dorchester,
Massachusetts, in 1635. He returned to England in
1647 3Jid married there, returning again to Maiden,
Massachusetts. He died in 1697. His brothers, James
and Edward Lane, are mentioned as at Maiden 1653-
1660. Other brothers settled in Virginia and New
Jersey. The immediate ancestors of Eunace Lane set-
tled at Hadley and Granby, Hampshire County, Massa-
chusetts, about 1727, being the earliest comers to that
neighborhood.* Joseph Lane was a Revolutionary sol-
dier, enlisting from Granby, Massachusetts, 19 April,
1775, and was one of the famous "Minute Men*' who
fought at Lexington and Concord in April, 1775, as the
following record shows. ** Joseph Lane of Granby,
Sergeant in Capt. John Cowls' Co., Col. Woodbridge*s

^Eunice Lane's ancestral line was James Lane of London, England, who
came to Boston or Maiden, Mass.. about 1656, removed to Cosco Bay, inresent
North Yarmouth, where he was slain by Indians about 1676. Next in line was
Job Lane of Bedford, Mass., where he and his wife, Mary Fassett, are buried.
He died x 9 September, 1744, aged 77 years. The next ancestor was Joseph
Lane, bom 6 January. 1706, or x8 December, x7o6; married Thankful Amsden,
35 November, 1735; died, probably at Sutton, Mass., 30 March, 1737. Eunice
Lane's father, Joseph, was the only child of this Joseph Lane ana Thankful
Amsden; he was bom 6 September^ 736. and baptised 31 October, X736. in Bed-
ford, Mass. He married Rebecca Wit, daughter of John and Sarah Wit, 23
June, 1760, and resided in Brookfield, Greenwich and Granby, Mass.

formation regarding him is unobtainable.

104 Reverend Nathaniel* Colver (Nathaniel*,
Nathaniels Samuel', Edward', Edward*)* the ninth
child and fourth son of the Reverend Nathaniel and
Esther Dean Colver, was bom at Orwell, Vermont, lo
May, 1794. He was undoubtedly the most able and
noted of the Colver family who were Baptist preachers,
and the family furnished not a few whose lives were
given to the spread of the gospel. His long and useful
Ufe, which came to a close at Chicago, 25 September,
1870, was full of real, earnest work in the path of his
choice, while a goodly measure of success fell to his
lot.

When not two years of age, his parents moved from
Vermont to Champlain, New York State, near the
Canadian line. In 1810 the family moved again, lo-
cating this time at West Stockbridge, Massachusetts,
where the father was preaching. Young Nathaniel
here learned the tanner's trade, but soon became con-
vinced that his life work lay in the ministry. The War/
of 181 2 broke out and he enlisted in a New York
Regiment, being stationed much of the time in New
York City. At the close of the war, in 181 7, he took up
the ministry at West Stockbridge, Massachusetts, being
baptized by Elder John M. Peck, 9 June, 1817. He was
practically self-taught, having had less than a year's
schooling. In 18 19 he was ordained in the church at
West Clarendon, Vermont, and remained there for two
years.

From West Clarendon he went to Fort Covington,
New York, formerly French Mills, near the northern
line of the state, beginning his work there in June, 1821.
In the call to this church the compensation is stated by
the Committee as follows: **The undersigned, from a
unanimous consent, are authorized to offer you $400.00,
it being, however, understood that you will want a con-
siderable part of this sum in the produce of the country,
necessary for the support of a family.*' We find that

132 COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY

not over $200 of this yearly salary was paid him in cash.
But if the pay was small he had his reward in that his
labors were crowned with success, people flocking from
miles around to hear him. His biographer, Dr. J. A.
Smith, writes: "Very early in his ministry Nathaniel
Colver's name became a household word among Bap-
tists throughout northern Vermont and New York."

About 1829 Nathaniel Colver began an active cru-
sade against Freemasonry, which he continued for many
years. His bold, strong and manly views, set forth in
his earnest and eloquent anti-Freemasonry speeches,
made him famous in several cities. He was in demand
at conventions and was reckoned among the foremost
anti-Freemasonry speakers of his day. To quote again
from Dr. J. A. Smith: **He became a Mason simply
because he believed in so doing he could be more useful
as a minister of Jesus Christ. He renounced Masonry
because he had come to feel that instead of helping, it
only hindered such usefulness, and became convinced
that he could not, consistently, be a Mason and a Chris-
tian minister."

The last few years of his ministry at Fort Covington —
that is, after 1826 — ^were divided between the work at
Malone, Ogdensburg and Gk)uvemeur, New York, and
some speaking and lecturing for the Northern Mission-
ary Convention, and the Baptist Education Society.
About this time, also, he had many calls from other
towns to become their pastor. In 1829 he accepted
the call of the church at Fort Ann and Kingsbury,
New York, succeeding his brother, Reverend Phineas
Colver, as pastor, and remaining there until 1831. He
enjoyed a most successful ministry at Fort Ann and the
vicinity, despite the keenness of the agitation respect-
ing Freemasonry and Nathaniel Colver's able stand in
opposition to the organization. In response to urgent
invitations he visited churches in Philadelphia, Pough-
keepsie, and elsewhere, and was an appreciated guest
at the tables of the cultured and prominent people of
the day. The late Dr. W. T. Brantley of Baltimore
says of him: "My father delighted in the rich imagina-
tion of his guest, imited as it was with reasoning powers

COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY 133

of such a high order that he was a powerful logician
without ever having read a chapter in the logic of the
schools.**

In 1 83 1 he went to the church at Greenwich, New
York, remaining there until 1834, when he accepted the
call to Holmesburg, Pennsylvania; but the congrega-
tion at Greenwich were unwilling to lose him, and so, in
response to their urgent call, he returned to them late
in the year of 1834. Here he labored until 1838; during
those years coming prominently before the public as a
strong advocate for the cause of temperance. He was.
among the earliest workers in this field, making many
stirring addresses and contributing numerous articles
on the question to the newspapers. He was a remark-
able figure at many of the big temperance conventions ;
his tall, rather stout form towering above most of his
people. Quoting again from Dr. Smith: **His bold
and manly denunciation of the use of and traffic in in-
toxicating drinks, early drew upon his head the curses
of the drinkers and the sellers. Few men of his day
were ever so roundly abused in the bar-room as Nathaniel
Colver.''

The vexed questions of the day were ever the arena
in which Nathaniel Colver exercised his God-given
powers on the side of that which was right and true and
just. A visit to the South about 1838 thoroughly
aroused his sympathy for the slave, and he now took
an active share in the Anti-Slavery movement; becom-
ing one of the foremost abolitionists of New ^England;
his work in this line, perhaps, being his greatest. He
went from place to place lecturing in the interests of
the American Anti-Slavery Society, advocating freedom
for the colored people. Public feeling ran high. A
Baptist Meeting House, where he was announced to
speak, was blown up in 1838. He organized a number
of Anti-Slavery Societies, and, with no uncertain sound,
sent forth his views abroad. His labors, extending to
Boston, led to his call in 1838 as the first pastor of Tre-
mont Temple, Boston. Timothy Gilbert, perhaps the
most active among the founders of Tremont Temple,
called him "the grandest abolitionist in Boston.'* He

134 G)LVER-CULVER GENEALOGY

was forty-five years of age at this time; in the zenith
of his prime ; his power of mind fully developed, a fearless
talker, calling things by their right name, with a vivid
imagination and a powerful personality.

Late in 1839 Mr. Colver resigned his pastorate at
Greenwich (Union Village), New York, and was installed
15 September, 1839, at the First Free Baptist Church
of Boston, better known as the famous Tremont Temple.
The first hymn sung at the service was composed by
Nathaniel Colver, for among his many other talents,
he was the writer of many hymns and church songs.
His work at Boston, during the succeeding years, was
perhaps the most brilliant of his life. He preached a
sturdy, simple Christianity to overflowing congrega-
tions ; advocating the abolition of slavery with all his
power of oratory; championing temperance in season
and out of season, and denouncing Freemasonry when-
ever occasion offered. His life was threatened on vari-
ous occasions about this time. Boston was thl^ strong-
hold of the Abolition Movement, and, in the high po-
sition of pastor of the foremost church in the city, Na-
thaniel Colver naturally found himself among the lead-
ers. Dr. Smith writes: **0f this period, 1839 to 1850,
scarcely any name was more often before the public in
this connection than that of Nathaniel Colver; we might
almost say that no personality was more distinctly felt
in urging on the movement in this sphere of reform than
was his.*' During these years, in almost every public
meeting in Boston, where the cause of the freedom of
the slaves was discussed, we find him taking an active
part. He was frequently the guest of the poet, John
Greenleaf Whittier, who was fully in sympathy with the
Abolitionists.

At the American Baptist Anti-Slavery Convention,
held in New York City April 29 and 30, 1840, Nathaniel
Colver was elected Chairman of the Executive Com-
mittee, and in June of the same year he was chosen as
a delegate from this Convention and from the Massa-
chusetts Abolition Society, to go to England to attend
the World's Anti-Slavery Convention. William Lloyd
Garrison and Wendall Phillips were also among the

COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY 135

American delegates. Mr. Colver made several stirring
speeches at Exeter Hall in England, where the Conven-
tion was held ; and also preached in a number of promi-
nent English pulpits. He remained in England for
six months, when he returned to his labors in Boston.
He held the pastorate of Tremont Temple for thirteen
years; then, 30 March, 1852, he resigned and accepted
a call to the church at South Abingdon, Massachusetts.
He was scarcely a year there, when, in April, 1853, he
went to the First Baptist Church of Detroit, Michigan,
a church of some five hundred members in those days.
While there he helped many a runaway slave to cross
the river into Canada.

In 1856 Nathaniel Colver went to Cincinnati as pastor
of the First Baptist Church in that city. Here he began
to prepare young men for the ministry, taking an active
part in the work of the Fairmount Theological Semi-
nary of Cincinnati. It was at this time that he
received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from the
Granville College, now Dennison University. One of
the many notable instances of his work at Cincinnati
was his series of sermons on the "Fugitive Slave Law."
He held that this law was a flagrant outrage upon the
laws of God, and as such that Christians ought not to
be under obedience to it. One of his hearers became so
excited that he shouted out: "That is nothing but
rank treason.** Dr. Colver paused in his discourse, drew
himself to his full height, and looking intently at the
man for a moment, said in his loftiest tones: "Treason
to the devil is loyalty to God." The effect was wonder-
ful upon the congregation. His great energy and en-
durance in the performance of his work is evidenced by
the fact that from the fall of 1856 until the summer of
1857 he preached almost continuously every evening,
except Saturdays, at a series of revival meetings, marked
blessing following his efforts.

In 1859 he wrote to Governor Henry A. Wise of Vir-
ginia, appealing for the life of John Brown, but without
success, as is, of course, known. The document was,
however, noteworthy and characteristic of the man.
In 1 86 1 he accepted a call to the Baptist Church of

136 COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY

Woodstock, Illinois; but his declining health required
him to take up less exacting work, and he remained
there but a few months. His friends in Chicago in-
sisted upon his taking the Tabernacle Church in that
city, and that was his last active pastorate. The Civil
War was then raging, and he preached with energy and
patriotism till his failing health demanded relief from
the full work of so large a congregation. The Reverend
T. J. Goodspeed was therefore called to take the active
charge. About this time Dr. Colver took part in the
movement for the establishment of the Chicago Baptist
Theological Institute, now a part of the University of
Chicago. He was one of the incorporators of this sem-
inary and none was more active in the work. He was
one of the first board of trustees elected August 27, 1863 ;
was the first to raise funds for the endowment, and the
first to give instruction. In 1865 he had a large class
of students in his study at the Tabernacle Church,
which was at this time situated at the comer of Mor-
gan and Monroe streets ; it is now known as the Second
Baptist Church of Chicago.

Dr. Colver's interest in the colored people went be-
yond the freeing of the slaves. He had at heart their
uplifting and education. In the fall of 1867 he re-
signed his connection with the Seminary at Chicago, in
order that he might be free to go about to interest
people and obtain funds to start the Colver Institute,
now the Union University, for the education of colored
persons for the ministry, situated at Richmond, Vir-
ginia. While south upon this mission, he officiated as
temporary pastor of the Fifth Baptist Church at Rich-
mond for a year, 1 867-1 868. He labored earnestly and
successfully, but the hitherto robust constitution was
wearing out, and he could not keep up the strain. The
death of his second wife at Chicago, early in 1868, sum-
moned him from his Richmond work. He came North
again in Jtme in the interests of his seminary at Rich-
mond, visiting friends at West Stockbridge, Massachu-
setts, Whitehall, Burlington, Champlain and elsewhere,
and obtaining much pectmiary aid for this work.

But the death of his wife was a great and irreparable

i

COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY 137

loss to him, and he returned to Chicago finally in Aug-
ust, 1868. About a month later he preached his last
sermon in the Indiana Avenue Baptist Church, Chicago.
Two years of rapidly declining health followed, during
which his suffering was often cheered by the visits of
friends and former co-laborers in the gospel. Among
them was Dr. Fulton, the then pastor of Tremont Tem-
ple, bringing with him the greetings and sympathy of
his former congregation. The end came on Sunday
morning, 25 September, 1870, while surrounded by
some members of his family and many friends. The
funeral, which was held the following Wednesday, from
the First Baptist Church, was attended by many Bap-
tist clergymen and professors of the Union Seminary.
He was laid to rest in Oakwood Cemetery, Chicago.

Dr. J. A. Smith writes of him thus: "Nathaniel
Colver came of a vigorous, manly race; a race nurtured
in vigor and manliness by those hard necessities which
yet were the kindly fosterers of the sturdy New England
character. Physically he was no unfit type of the gen-
uine son of the New England soil. In stature higher
than the average; in his constitution a very large ele-
ment of humor." President John Quincy Adams said
of him: "He was the best off-hand speaker I have
ever heard."

A beautiful memorial window to Dr. Nathaniel Colver
is now in Blake Memorial Hall, the preparatory
school for the University of Chicago; his portrait has
also been placed in the office of the Secretary of the
University of Chicago, Theological Department, while
a large oil painting of him has been hung in Lorimer
Hall, Tremont Temple, Boston.

Nathaniel Colver's first wife was Sallie Clark, whom
he married 27 August, 181 5, and by whom he had three
sons. She died 27 January, 1824, while he was in
charge of the church at Fort Covington, New York.
His second wife was Mrs. Sarah A. Carter, whom he
married at Plattsburg, New York, 26 January, 1825.
By her he had three children, two sons and one daughter.
She died 18 April, 1868, at Chicago, and was buried at
Oakwood Cemetery, Chicago.

SEVENTH GENERATION

los Delos Everett' Culver (William HowdS
Benjamin*, Benjamin*, Joshua*, Joshua*, Edward 0»
son of William Howd and Mary Weeks Culver, was
bom 29 August, 183 1, at Malta, N. Y. ; married Ann
Louisa Mallory at Norwalk, Conn., 2 February, 1853.

Delos .Everett Culver was one of seven brothers, all
of whom were professional men, one being a doctor, two
being lawyers, and the balance civil engineers. This
is quite a remarkable fact when it is considered that
they were all bom prior to 1839. Owing to the death
of his father while he was comparatively young, and the
unwillingness of his grandfather, Daniel Weel^, to per-
mit him to complete his education at Hamilton College
for which he had been prepared, Delos Culver was thrown
on his own resources as a very young man. He taught
school to provide himself with the means to complete
his education as an engineer, and at the age of nineteen
years was appointed as constructor and chief engineer
of the Danbury & Norwalk Railroad of Connecticut.
He then transferred his energies to Pennsylvania and
built a great many miles of railroad in the oil regions
for John D. Rockefeller. Subsequently he completed
many hundreds of miles of railway (as constructor or
engineer), embracing among others, although not in
their entirety, the present West Shore & Buffalo Rail-
road, the New York & Greenwood Lake Railroad, the
New York, Ontario & Western Railroad, the New York,
Susquehanna & Western Railroad, and several others.
Culver Lake in Northern New Jersey was named in his
honor. He was the engineer for the first tunnel through
the Bergen Hills, under Jersey City Heights, which was
constructed by the Erie Railroad, He constructed the
water supply of Jersey City, and was for many yea^s a
water commissioner. Between 1857 and 1861, feeling
that there would sometime be a necessity for the same,

141

142 COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY

he secured from the Legislature of New Jersey the first
charter for a bridge from New Jersey to New York, and
for many years he devoted a large part of his time en-
deavoring to secure financial means with which to con-
struct an underground railway up Broadway, New
York City, from the Battery to Central Park. At the
age of less than forty he had amassed a fortune of nearly
$4,000,000, but his restless energy and continual con-
ception of enterprises far in advance of his time, were
the means of dissipating the major part of these accumu-
lations. Matters of this character were of an engross-
ing interest to him, and the preservation of the returns
from the enterprises he had conceived and successfully
executed had no interest to him except as a means for
furthering other projects which he desired to execute.
He was a man of great industry, perseverance and un-
tiring energy, and he possessed the useful family char-
acteristic of great vitality. His courage in face of num-
erous adversities was superb. His death occurred 12
May, 1 90 1.

made by team and flat boat, going down the Ohio
river to the Mississippi, and up it to Illinois river and
up that as far as navigation permitted. Where they
settled there were more Indians than white men at that
time. The following year they removed to Alton, 111.

shoemaking

Morris Haskin was reared to manhood in Knox County,
Illinois, whither his father had taken his family about
1830. His lessons were conned in a rude log schoolhouse,
the only school buildings in those pioneer days. He
married Louisa Banks in 1840, and took up farming.
In 1855 he removed with his family to Grundy County,
Iowa. Here he purchased from the government a farm
of raw prairie land and later built a modem log house.
This in time gave way to the frame buildings of the times.

listened to so much pure argument, sotmd sense and
touching eloquence, blended with admirable sarcasm,

as that speech contained." He was re-elected in 1840,

and served on a number of important committees in
the New York Legislature. He was elected to Congress
from 1845 to 1847, during which time he made many
effective speeches. He took an active and conspicuous
part in all the great political struggles from 1840 to

1880. In 1850 he removed to Brooklyn, New York,
and was elected Judge of the City Court in that city in
1854, holding the position until 1861. In 1862 Judge
Culver was appointed by President Lincoln as United
States Minister to Venezuela, serving there until 1866,
when he resigned, being out of harmony with the views
of the Johnson administration. He attended as a
delegate the first New York State Convention at the
founding of the Republican Party in 1855, ^^^ ^^^
much work as a stump speaker for General John C.
Fremont, the first Republican candidate for President,
in 1856. He also made many speeches in various States
in the interest of Abraham Lincoln in i860. He was
a man of remarkable energy and intense patriotism,
with a keen, penetrating mind, making a most striking
and forcible speaker, brilliant and witty in styles He
was an independent and somewhat radical thinker, and
enjoyed an unspotted character throughout his life.
Among his intimate friends were Henry Clay, William
H. Seward, Horace Greely, Abraham Lincoln and other
men of like stamp.

Judge Culver was always a Republican except during
the Horace Greely campaign in 1872, Greely being one
of his strong personal friends. He took up his work for
his own party again at the next election, assisting in
the campaign of Hayes and Wheeler in 1876. He was
very active in the overthrow of the **Boss" Tweed
Ring in New York, speaking at the great mass meeting
held at the Broadway Tabernacle, the meeting being
also addressed by Henry Ward Beecher, Judge Theodore
Parker and others.

' After his removal to Brooklyn Judge Culver enjoyed
an extensive legal practice, and participated in many

COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY 106

important cases. He was the senior member of the law
firm of Culver, Parker and Arthur, with offices in Nassau
Street, New York. The junior member of the firm was
Chester A. Arthur, afterwards President of the United
States. Mr. Arthur began the study of law in Judge
Culver's office in 1852, being afterwards taken into
partnership.

During the last few years of his life Judge Culver wafi^
President of the Greenwich National Bank, Greenwich,
New York, in which place he had never ceased to take
an interest. In 1858 he prepared and published a
memorial on **The Dead of Washington County, New
York.** His second wife was Mrs. Julia A. Safford of
Plattsburg, New York, who was the devoted and faith-
ful companion of his declining years. Of his private
life it is said that he was a man of a deeply religious
nature, having early united with the Baptist Church at
Greenwich, and taken an active part in church work, and
was a devoted Christian. The young people's meetings
were of especial interest to him. He was chosen Mod-
erator of the Washington Union Baptist Association,
being one of the only two laymen to hold this post. A
man generous by nature and of honest convictions, he
was all his life an earnest advocate of temperance and
of anti-slavery.

Juc^e Culver died at Greenwich, Washington County,
New York, on Sunday, 13 October, 1889, aged eighty-
six -years. He was buried at Greenwich, the Reverend
Mr. Thompson of the Methodist Church, the Reverend
Mr. Cronkhite, a missionary from Burmah, and the
Reverend Thomas Cyll, his own pastor, officiating at the
funeral. His pastor said of him: ''I always found
Judge Culver a kind, considerate, pleasant friend; one
who was ah^ays ready with a word of encouragement
and cheer. His example should be an incentive to all
young men to be true in character and strong in pur-
pose, always pressing onward towards the good and the
rijg^ht." His character would seem to have borne out
his own mother's desire for him. She was a woman of
remarkable character and lofty ideals. When an aged
woman on her deathbed she called this son to her and

166 COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY

bid him good-bye in these words : " My son, I am looking
on you for the last time. I shall never see you again.
Be faithful to God. Stand for the right. Plead for the
poor and oppressed.*'

The following extract is from the ** Whitehall Chron-
icle:*' ** Judge Culver was a most witty and effective
story-teller, all of his stories being spiced with the most
amusing of anecdotes. He was a man conscious of
strength, and, like all strong men, he loved to exercise
his strength. He loved to be in the midst of the world's

life, and to take a hand in shaping its destinies

In his declining years his spirit was sweet and mellow
as that of a child."

And again from the same authority:

"Daniel Webster and Culver were both speakers at
different stands at a great mass meeting at Albany,
New York, in 1840 (during the Harrison and Tyler
campaign), and each spoke at the same time, and Cul-
ver, by the charm of his eloquence, would actually draw
largely from those who were hearing Webster."

inherited the Vermont farm of his father in 1834, and
here he spent most of his life. He owned much timber
land in addition to the family estate, and towards the
close of his life was interested in business at Burlington,
Vermont, with his son-in-law, Bennett Turk. He was
a well read, well informed man of a kindly nature, re-
ligious and much beloved by his friends and associates,
an excellent type of the New England farmer and gentle-
man of his day. He took an active interest in the affairs

COLVER-CULVER GeNEALOGY 167

of his neighborhood and state. In 1833 he married
Polly GoflE, who was descended from an old New England
family of Revolutionary memories. She had been
carefully reared, and was a well educated woman. She
survived her husband for twenty-one years. She was
bom in March, 1814, and died 29 May, 1891, at the home
of her daughter, Emoroy Colver Turk, at Burlington,

She early developed traits unusual in a woman, being
of an energetic nature, capable, practical, and with
much executive ability; strong in her convictions, a
devout Christian, knowing the Holy Book from cover
to cover, a ready and witty speaker, especially for the
cause of temperance and anti-slavery, and withal of a
kindly, affectionate nature.

The care of her younger brothers and sisters largely
devolved upon her, and in this work of the home she was
most faithful. In 1830 she was married to Hamilton
Littlefield; he died March, 1894. She died at the home

134 Jambs Dban^ Colver (Phineas*, Nathaniel*,
Nathaniel*, Samuel', Edward', Edward 0, the seventh
child and fifth son of the Reverend Phineas Colver and
his wife, Eunace Lane, was bom at the old parsonage-
farm at Champlain, New York, 14 February, 18 13, and
chose a business life as his career. At the early age of
thirteen years he started out from home, then at Fort
Ann, N. Y., to make his way in the world, begin-
ning as a clerk in a ** Yankee Notion and General Store"
at Sandy Hill, New York.

After filling several mercantile positions in the vi-
cinity of Fort Edward, New York, he was for a number
of years prior to 1840 engaged in the dry goods and
general business at Poughkeepsie, in partnership with
his brother, Phineas. At this time he was actively as-
sociated with the New York State Militia, holding the
rank of Lieutenant-Colonel from 1835 to 1840, and
being in command of the local forces at Poughkeepsie.
On 14 September, 1840, he was married to Ann Eliza-
beth Bowne, and very shortly after the young couple
went to live at Troy, New York, where James Dean
Colver engaged in the lumber business with his brother-
in-law, Hamiilton Littlefield, the husband of Rhoda
Colver. While at Troy, two sons were bom to him.
In 1846 he removed to Brooklyn, New York, engaging
in the flour and other mercantile lines until 1850. From
185 1 to 1859 his home was at Oswego, New York, where
he did a prosperous flour-milling and lumber business
under the firm name of Colver and Lathrop. During
these years he was three times elected Mayor of Oswego
on the Whig ticket, serving in that capacity faithfully
and efficiently. At the time of the financial panic of
1859, ^^* Colver's business at Oswego becamie so de-
pressed that he moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in
the hope that he might repair his losses in the newer
field of the West, which was at that time showing great
development and prosperity. He began in the flour-
milling business at Mineral Point, Berlin City and Mil-

COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY 169

waukee, prospering very well until the outbreak of the
Civil War in 1861, when all mercantile interests were
for the time at a low ebb. While at Milwaukee, Mr.
Colver was elected President of the Milwaukee Chamber
o^Conmierce in i860. Early in the year 1863, leaving his
family at Milwaukee, he went to New Orleans, Louisiana,
and took up the cotton business. In December, 1863,
the family joined him at New Orleans, remaining there^
until June, 1866, when a plantation home was provided
about four hundred and fifty miles northwest from*
New Orleans, at Grand View on the Ouchita River, a
branch of the Red River. Here Mr. Colver died quite
suddenly of cholera, 3 October, 1866; he was buried at
Copenhagen, Caldwell Parish, Louisiana.

James Dean Colver was of a strong personality, of
commanding figure, being over six feet in height, of
dark complexion, with black eyes and hair. He was of
a most generous disposition, kmdly to all, a quiet, deep
thinker, loved and respected by all who really knew
him. He was a most loving husband, father and friend,
with an energy and ability which won for him a promi-
nent place in the business circles in which he moved.

Immediately after the death of her husband, Mrs.
Colver returned North with her family, moving from
the Louisiana plantation to Brooklyn, New York, in
November, 1866. Here she settled permanently, de-
voting her life to the care and education of her children,
most of them quite young at the time. This labor of
love was most faithfully performed. She lived an
earnest, practical Christian life, manifesting it by her
unceasing care of others. During her former residence
in Brooldyn she had become a member of Plymouth
Church, in the early days of Henry Ward Beecher*s
ministry, in 1847. This membership she renewed on
her return to Brooklyn in 1866 and continued without
interruption until the summer of 1891, when her robtist
constitution was broken by a stroke of apoplexy. She
died in Brooklyn 13 January, 1892, and was buried in
Greenwood Cemetery.

Ann Elizabeth Bowne, the wife of James Dean Colver,
was the daughter of Gershom and Elizabeth Hasbrouck

170 COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY

Bowne. She was married to James Dean Colver at
Fishkill Village, New York, 14 September, 1840, having
been bom 20 December, 182 1, at the old ancestral stone
house built by Benjamin Hasbrouck, her great-great-
grandfather in 1755, at Hopewell, New York. She
came of a long line of sturdy, industrious and prosperous
pioneers in the New World. Her Bowne genealogical
line in this country began with William * Bowne, who
came from England to Gravesend, Long Island, New
York, in 1 63 1, and died at Middletown, New Jessey, 1677.
Then Gershom', William*, Gershom* and Gershom*,
her father, bom 10 Sept., 1789, died 9 January, 1825.
There is record of at least seven Bownes who did
service in the American Revolution, David, Elias, James,
Peter, Joseph, Samuel and WilUam.

On the Hasbrouck side she came of French-Dutch
forefathers, Abraham *, Benjamin ', Francis ', Benjamin *
and Elizabeth ». The Hasbrouck records go back to
Abraham Hasbroucque who was bom in Calais, France,
of which place his father was also a native. Driven out
of France by the religious persecutions which beset the
Huguenot families at that time, the father, with his
two sons, Abraham and Jean, and a daughter who was
married to Pierre Hayaar, fled to Manheim, in the lower
Palatinate, Germany, where they resided for several
years. In 1673 Jean emigrated to America, going di-
rectly to Esopus, New York, where he settled. He
brought with him his wife, Anna Deyo, and two or more
children. Abraham Hasbroucque, of whom there is
fuller record from manuscript preserved in the family,
went from Manheim, Germany, to Holland, and from
there, with a number of acquaintances, sailed for
America in April, 1675. He landed in Boston, proceeded
directly to New York, and from thence to Esopus,
which he reached in July, 1675. Here he found his
brother, Jean. On 17 November, 1676, he married at
Hurley, near Kingston, Maria Deyo, a daughter of
Christian Deyo, whom he had known in Germany. She
was a sister of his brother's wife. Abraham Hasbrouck
lived for some time in England prior to his immigration
to America, and served in the English Army under Gov.

COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY 171

Edmund Andross, and it is said that owing to his in-
fluence with the Colonial Governor, that the Huguenots
obtained the grant of so large and fine a tract of land
at New Paltz. In 1677, in conjunction with his brother
and some others, he obtained from Governor Andross a
patent for a large tract of land in Ulster County, New
York, north of Kingston, where they settled, and which
they named New Paltz. Abraham was for many years
a member of the Provincial Assembly, Captain of the
foot guards at New Paltz in 1689, and also Major of the
Ulster County regiment of Militia. He died of apoplexy
on Sunday, 7 March, 17 17. His wife died 27 March,
1 741, aged eighty-eight years.

Benjamin Hasbrouck, son of Abraham Hasbroucque,
lived in and about the same locality in Ulster County,
and from there removed to Dutchess County, New York,
where, in 1755, he built the stone house near Hopewell
in which Ann Elizabeth Bowne was bom. Here he
resided until his death in 1763, at the age of fifty-three.
This old stone house was still standing in December,
1897, ^^ h^^ passed out of the family into other hands.
His wife was Jannitje De Long, whom he married 13
February, 1737. Their children were : Daniel, Benjamin,
Jacob, Mary, Heiltje and Francis.

Francis Hasbrouck, son of the above Benjamin Has-
brouck, was bom in 1746. He lived at Hopewell and
was a member of the Dutch Reformed Church of that
place. He died 9 January, 1 789, at the age of forty-three
years, and, was buried in the Hopewell churchyard.
He married Elizabeth Swartout, by whom he had five
children, Benjamin, Francis, Abraham, James and Gil-
bert. She was bom in 1753 and was married to Francis
Hasbrouck at the age of thirteen, and was a woman of
remarkable character and strong Christian spirit. She
survived Francis Hasbrouck and married again on 7
September, 1796, her second husband being Abraham
Shear, whom she also outlived. She was the mother of
eleven children. The following remarkable incident is
quoted from the records of the First Reformed Church,
Fishkill Village, New York. * * Elizabeth Shear (formerly
Hasbrouck), an aged and respected member of this

church, in September, 1841, took her seat at the com-
munion table with her daughter, Mrs. Van Wyck; her
granddaughter, Mrs. Wiltsie; her great-granddaughter,
Mrs. Lee, and Mrs. Lee's son, John Wiltsie Lee — ^five
generations. It was her last communion." She passed
away 11 November, 1841, and was buried in the First
Reformed Dutch churchyard at Fishkill Village, New
York. She was the great-grandmother of Ann Eliza-
beth Bowne. Rudolphus Swarthout, the father of
Elizabeth Swarthout, was one of the first settlers in
Dutchess County, New York. He settled near Jones-
ville and came from Long Island. His house was built
of stone, and was probably erected as early as 17 15; it
was in existence in 1809.*

Benjamin Hasbrouck, the son of Francis and Eliza-
beth Swarthout-Hasbrouck, was bom in 1767. He
lived in the old stone house built by his grandfather,
Benjamin Hasbrouck, near Hopewell, New York. At
an early age he fought as a Continental soldier in the
Revolutionary War, serving as a private in Captain
Abraham Brinkerhoff' s Company, Colonel John Cantine's
Ulster County Regiment. He received certificate
26,582, amounting to 15s id for services performed.!
Benjamin Hasbrouck married Rachel Storm and had
children, Sarah, Catherine, Elizabeth, Caroline and Isaac.
He is buried by the side of his wife in the Hopewell
churchyard.

Elizabeth Hasbrouck, the daughter of Benjamin
Hasbrouck and Rachel Storm, was bom 27 September,
1796, and inherited all the stiirdy characteristics of the
Hasbrouck line. She was married first to Gershom
Bowne, by whom she had three children, Charles Ed-
ward, Francis Hasbrouck, and Ann Elizabeth. At
the death of Gershom Bowne, she married again,

Southard, by whom she had three children,

Caroline, Sarah and Harriet. After Mr. Southard's death
she remained a widow for twenty years, then, late in
life, she married for the third time, Balding,

EIGHTH GENERATION

141 Frederic Fitch* Culver (Delos Everett',
William Howd •, Benjamin •, Benjamin *, Joshua •,
Joshua *, Edward *)i second son of Delos Everett and
Anna Mallory Culver, was bom 15 June, 1861, and
married Isabel Clark, 15 April, 1886.

Frederic Fitch Culver was educated at Columbia
Grammar School, New York, and early detennined to
enter the legal profession. The affiliations of his
mother's family were with Yale College, as his grand-
mother's ancestor, Samuel Fitch, Crown Justice of
Connecticut prior to 1775, drafted the charter of Yale

ollege, and was prominently identified with that in-
stitution, as were other members of the Fitch family of
Connecticut. Samuel's brother, Thomas, was a colonial
Governor of the colony, appointed by the English Crown,
and another brother, James, a member of the General
Assembly of Connecticut. Frederic Culver's health,
however, required him to attend a college not located
in a city, and with this end in view Princeton was se-
lected. He graduated from Princeton University in
1880, being awarded the degrees of A. B. and A. M.
While at Princeton he was one of the founders of Ivy
Hall, which is now the oldest and one of the most prom-
inent of the college clubs. Its membership embraces
a large number of very prominent men, and the club
has continued in a state of prosperity and prominence
for almost thirty years. After leaving Princeton he
travelled abroad, and then entered the Columbia Law
School, from which he was graduated in 1882 with the de-
gree of Bachelor of Laws, and in that same year became
qualified to practice. He at first took up the study and
practice of real estate law. About this time the advent
of Title Companies convinced him that the future for
real estate lawyers would become less and less re-
munerative, and deservedly so; and at this period,

when the formation of Trusts was practically in its in-
fancy, he began to devote his entire attention to the
subject of corporation law and to legislation concerning
the same. New Jersey at that time was a Mecca for
most corporations on account of the fixed policy of the
State in respect to corporations and its consistent legis-
lation. He assisted with legislation, in passing a large
number of laws affecting corporations which are today
embodied in the revised corporation laws of New Jersey,
changing case law to statute law in respect to corpora-
tions, and which have been greatly to the benefit of
the corporation laws of New Jersey. He has especially
devoted his time to solving problems relating to the
transferal of all classes of business conducted by indi-
viduals or partnerships to a condition where they could
be transacted through the medium of a corporation.

In the course of his practice he has incorporated in
various states several hundred corporations, and has
been connected with the organization, management, or
otherwise, of the several large national Trusts formed
from the amalgamation of all the prominent industries
in that particular line. In the course of his career he
has built or reorganized railroads and managed the
same, or has acted as counsel therefor. He has acted
as counsel for many electric light, water power, trolley
and other public service enterprises. All problems re-
lating to the development of the cotmtry through the
medium of these enterprises have always had a fasci-
nating interest for him, and such problems have inter-
ested him quite as much from the physical as from the
legal side. His tendency is toward the upbuilding of
any particular matter, and his sympathies are not
actively aroused by propositions which are destined to
die, where the offices of a lawyer are sought for the pur-
pose of saving wreckage.

The career of Dr. Stephen Smith of New York is in-
deed a notable one. Bom February 19, 1823, in Spaf-
ford, Onondaga County, N. Y., the son of Hon. Lewis
Smith and Chloe Benson, his ancestral line is English,
descending from John Smith, one of the earliest settlers
of Milford, Conn. His grandfather. Job Smith, was a
first lieutenant in the sth Regiment, Continental Line,
in the Revolutionary War, his commission being signed
by John Hancock, President of the Continental Con-
gress. On his mother's side Dr. Smith descended from
the Bensons of Mendon, Mass. When a young man,
and before taking up the study of medicine. Dr. Smith
helped to prepare himself in Greek and Latin; later he
began his medical studies with Dr. Caleb Green, of Homer,
and did some work at the old Geneva Medical College,
organized in 1836, and also at the Buffalo Medical Col-
lege. Dr. Smith came to New York City and graduated
in the spring of 1851 from the New York College of
Physicians and Surgeons, and soon received from a

198 COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY

competitive examination an appointment on the staff
of Bellevue Hospital. This was rare in so recent a grad-
uate, and the opportunity was employed to the utmost.
His long service on the staff of this noted New York
hospital perhaps did more to shape his life work than
any thing else. In the early fifties he became editor of
the Journal of Medicine, later editor of the American
Medical Times, and during his whole life^ in addition to a
wide private and hospital practice, his pen has* been
busy and most effective in the cause of medicine, sur-
gery, semitation and kindred subjects. He is the author
of numerous medical and surgical treatises and books,
among which may be mentioned, Rupture of the Urinary
Bladder, Rare Forms of Dislocations, Amputation at the
Knee Joint, The Surgical Treatment of Epilepsy, and
Doctor in Medicine. Dr. Smith was appointed surgeon
to the City Hospital, Blackwell's Island, in 1864; to
St. Vincent's Hospital in 1885 ; to Columbus Hospit^ in
1890, and is still consulting surgeon to these hospitals.
During the Civil War he served as surgeon in the Union
Army, and was especially active at and following the
seven days' battles of General McClellan, the battle of
the Wilderness, and subsequently at the Military Hos-
pital, Central Park, N. Y., and the City Hospital. His
service in other branches of the army hospital depart-
ment was hardly less active. His hand book, Prin-
ciples and Practice of Operative Surgery, was exten-
sively used by the Union Army throughout the Civil
War. The plans for the original Roosevelt Hospital,
New York, were made under his direction, and proved
the basis for the construction of several other hospitals
throughout the country. His early teachings at Belle-
vue Hospital were so successful as to lead to the estab-
lishment of the Bellevue Hospital Medical College.
Dr. Smith has long occupied a leading position among
the ablest experts on sanitary reform; has drafted
many of the best bills put on the statutes of New York
City and State, and adopted by the United States
Government. His labors in behalf of national and
international quarantine have been continuous and suc-
cessful. Dr. Smith has received numerous appoint-

COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY 199

ments on local, State and national health, sanitary and
special commissions. He was one of the United States
Commissioners to the International Sanitary Conference
at Paris, and has ever been an active and valuable
worker in the field of charity. Dr. Smith is still serv-
ing actively on the New York State Board of Charities,
and is considered one of the best informed medical men
in lunacy cases. No other one individual has a more
intimate knowledge of the charitable institutions of
the State. It is stated that the public positions which
Dr. Smith has held probably exceed that of any other
medical man in the country. He has been appointed
to oflSce three times by the mayors of New York, seven
times by the Governors of the State of New York,
and twice by the Presidents of the United States. Now,
in his ripe old age of eighty-six years, he is as active
mentally and physically, and as keenly alive to all new
and worthy reforms as many men forty years his junior,
and there is still that fine courtliness of manner, that
kindly, fatherly interest in all seeking his advice and
aid, and depth of penetration for which he has always
been known.

the Civil War in 1861 he was in Havana, Cuba, but re-
turned immediately to New York, enlisting 19 April,

1 861, as a private in Company A, 12th Regiment, N. G.
of S. N. Y. After service he was mustered out with his
regiment at New York, 5 August, 1861. On 3 March,

1862, he was appointed Battalion Adjutant of the 3rd
Wisconsin Cavalry, acting in that capacity at the head-
quarters of Colonel Barstow, but not commissioned, as
the grade was pronounced supernumerary by the Gk>v-
emment. On 25 October, 1863, he was attached to the
staff of Governor Andrew Johnson of East Tennessee;
acting as his military secretary; at this time he also as-
sisted in bringing many loyal Tennesseeans within the
Union lines. He participated in the battle of Stone
River, 2 January, 1863, with the loth Infantry, Tennes-
see, attached to the headquarters of General George H.

204 COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY

«

commatid of his company, he led the advance at mid-
night, 29 November, 1864, from Spring Hill to Franklin,
carrying dispatches from General Schofield to General
Thomas, passing through the enemy's lines at
CJampbellsville, 3 Decembei, 1864. He was detailed
and placed on the staflE of General Edward Hatch, then
commanding the 5th Division Cavalry Corps, Military
Division of Mississippi, and participated in the battles
of Nashville on December 14th and 15th, 1864. He
accompanied his regiment in their charge and capture
of the entire headquarters' train of General Chalmers,
also on the second day of the charge along Granny White
Pike, which resulted in the capture of General Rucker
with his Division and colors, and the presentation of
them at General Wilson's headquarters ; also at all sub-
sequent engagements of his regiment to the Tennessee
River. On 29 January, 1865, he was conmiissioned as
Captain, Company A, 12th Tennessee Cavalry, and was
mustered in 10 March, at Eastport, Mississippi. He
commanded the escort with flag of truce from Eastport
27 April, 1865, accompanying Major Beaumont of
General Thomas' staff into the enemy's lines to demand
the surrender of General Dick Taylor's army. He then
tendered his resignation, which was accepted through
General John Pope, commanding in Missouri, and was
honorably discharged 30 May, 1865, at Benton Bar-
racks, St. Louis, Missouri.

For a short time after the close of the Civil War
Captain Colver was an inspector in the U. S. Internal
Revenue Department, serving in Texas. He returned
to New York with his widowed mother when she brought
her family from Louisiana, 17 November, 1866. From
1866 until his death in 1892, he was actively engaged
with the Glen Cove Manufacturing Company (Messrs.
Duryea) in several capacities, chiefly as salesman to the
wholesale grocers in New York City, in which he was
very successful.

On 3 January, 1877, he was elected a Companion of
the First Class of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion
of the United States, and later became a member of

COLVER-CULVER GENEALOGY 205

George Washington Post 103, G. A. R., being an ener-
getic member of both organizations during the remain-
ing years of his life. He was ever an efficient and en-
thusiastic worker for any cause in which he was much
interested. The Royal Arcanum, a fraternal insurance
order, was one of his special ** hobbies," and during the
last thirteen years of his life he brought into its mem-
bership upwards of four hundred men from his large
list of friends and acquaintances. On June 27, 1879,
he became a charter member of the famous New York
Council 348, Royal Arcanum. He served as Regent in
1 88 1, Trustee in 1883, representative gmd chairman of
the delegation to the Grand Cotmcil 1887 to 1893, and
as Secretary of the Council from 14 January, 1884, to
the day of his death. The *'Royal Arcanum Guide"
paid the following tribute to his memory: "He was
truly called the * Father of the Council' whose willing
hands did so much to achieve its present prosperity.
Every member of this noble body of men felt the af-
fliction as if he had been indeed a brother. He was a
member of the Knights of Honor, American Legion of
Honor, Chosen Friends, Commercial Travelers' Asso-
ciation, and other orders, but his big heart went to the
Royal Arcanum, and his greatest work and deepest
sympathy were always with that splendid institution.
We have lost a man that will be sadly missed, and whose
place it will be impossible to fill. He had won the con-
fidence and respect of all, and no other, be he ever so
competent, will be exactly to us as was George Bowne
Colver."

Possessing in a remarkable degree that stalwart con-
stitution, tireless energy and executive ability which
came down to him from his ancestors, George Bowne
Colver was a man to be reckoned with in any enterprise
in which he took part. He loved the strain and stress
of good, honest contest, and was happiest in the accom-
plishment of any work he had set his heart on doing.
He died 8 September, 1892, at New York City, and was
buried at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Tarrytown, New
York.

schools of Oswego, Milwaukee and New Orieans, during
the time the family was resident in those cities. After
his father's death, when the family returned North, he
attended the University of Vermont at Burlington for
two years, 1866 to 1868. He began his business career
with the Glen Cove Starch Manufacturing Company
(Messrs. Duryea), and was subsequently engaged with
E. A. Galindo for some time, in the picture frame manu-
facturing business in New York City. Afterwards he
was with the firm of David Dows and Company, grain
commission merchants of New York, Baltimore and
Des Moines, and later became identified with the North-
em Pacific Grain Elevator Company of St. Paul, Minne-
sota. For a number of years he was engaged in business
on his own account at Walla Walla, Seattle, and other
points in the State of Washington. At the time of the
Klondike gold fever, he spent some time mining in Alaska
and afterwards in the quicksilver mines of California.
From there he returned East to Chicago, and, in 1905,
to New York.

Despite the fact that he has made and lost several
comfortable fortunes, and the impairment of his health
for many years, Henry Clay Colver still retains to an
unusual degree the characteristic family course, energy
and power to do things, as well as the Colver and Dean

humor and kindly disposition. His keen wit and fund
of anecdotes are ever a source of pleasure to his friends,

Laura Littlefield Colver was a pronounced type of
the Colver-Dean ancestry, possessing to a noticeable
degree many of the qualities of these two families.
She was courageous, hajxl->working, self reliant, and did
not spare herself in the accomplishment of any task she
set her mind or hands to do. She had a most pleasing
personality, charm of manner, keen wit, strong imagina-
tion, great power of expression, and a generous, kmdly
disposition. She early developed literary ability, and
her success as a recitationist and public reader was very
generally recognized. In speaking of her the Brooklyn
Daily Eagle of August 6, 1903, said: *'Mrs. Laura
Colver Harris was of a loving and attractive disposition,
ever faithful in her duty to her children, home and so-
ciety. In the early '80s, Mrs. Harris, then Laura L.
Colver, was very active in Plymouth Church circles,
and the Amaranth and Kemble dramatic societies.
Her host of friends always took del^ht in listening to
her elocutionary readings and recitations, which never
failed to interest and charm her audiences."

Most of the active years of her life were spent in
Brooklyn, althot^h several summers were passed at
Cottage City, Mass., where her special gift in the de-
lineation of character by pahnistry was employed to the
deUght and wonderment of her many friends. Her

around New York City; engaged in the periodical pub*
lishing business. After the death of his father, James
Dean Colver, in Louisiana, 3 October, 1866, he came to
Brooklyn, N. Y., with his mother, btothers and sisters.
He very much resembles his mother in all physical
qualities, but many of the Colver traits of character are
conspicuous in his make up. After a residence in Brook-
lyn bom 1866 to 1888, he removed to Tenafly, New
Jersey, shortly after his marriage, and has since resided
there. He entered business life at the age of fifteen,
after attending the schools of Brooklyn about eig^t
years. In 1881, in conjunction with Edwin F. MacPhail
and Thomas £. Crossman, he began the publication of
the Philamaihean Review^ for the Philomadiean Society,
a literary association of young men originally identified
with Plymouth Qmrch. He continued this monthly,
enlarging it from time to time, until October, 1884, wboi
the Brooklyn Magazine succeeded it, with Mr. Colver as
publisher and Edward W. Bok as editor. About this
period, 1886-7, Messrs. Bok and Colver successfully
conducted a newspaper syndicate of articles specially
written for them by Henry Ward Beecher. Mr. Colver,
when secretary, was the first to int ere st Mr. Beecher
in the work of the Philomathean Society, of which be
was {Hresident in 1886. After the death of Mr. Beecher
the newspaper syndicate business was continued for
some time. In 1887 the Brooklyn Magazine was sac*
ceeded by the American Magazine^ with Mr. CoXyrtr as
manage*. This magazine ducontinued publication in
1888, shortly after Mr. Colver left the business. Then
14

followed a short experience in the business of book pub-
lishing and advertising as Brcmifield, Colver & Co. May
X, 1889, Mr. G>lver accepted the post of advertising
manlier for the Prank L^lie magazines, and in May,
1895, he became the lessee and manager of the Praxik
LesUe Publishii^ House, which company succeeded
Mrs. Frank Leslie in 1898* Mr. Colver was treasurer
and business manager, then president and finally prin-
cipal owner. In 1905 he changed the company's name
to the Colver Publishing House, and the Leslie's Monthly
to the American Magazine^ which business he sold to
John S. Phillips, Ida Tarbell, Lincoln Steffins and as-
sociates in 1906. In the fall of 1906 Mr. Colver acquired
an interest in the Success Magazine, and became the
secretary and advertising director of the company.
He retained his interest in this periodical until 1909,
when he disposed of his stock holdings to his former as-
sociates, and resigned his connection with the magazine.
He is now treasurer of the Waters-Colver Company,
a ship building company. Recognizing the need of
closer business and social relations between the pub-
lishers and editors of the leading mi^azines and weekly
periodicals of national circulation, Mr. Colver suggested
the Periodical Publishers' Association of America, and
was one of its founders. This organization has since
been a potent power in bringing together and protecting
the interests of periodical editors, publishers, authors,
artists and others identified with periodical publishing.
Mr. Colver has served as secretary three years, as presi-
dent one year, and as a director for seven years. Among
the other organizations of which Mr. Colver is a mem-
ber are the New England Historic-Genealogical Society ;
the Huguenot Society of America; the Sons of the
Revolution in the State of New York; the National
Geographical Society; the Aldine Association of New
York; the Royal Arcanum and other fraternal societies.
Since his removal to Tenafiy, N. J., in the sprii^ of
1888, Mr. Colver has maintained an active interest in
the affairs of this borough. He organized the move-
ment which led to the incorporation of Tenafiy in 1893 ;

held office on the first borough council; was secretary
of the Board of Health for over five years; was editor
of the Tenafty Record, a weekly newspaper, 1894-5;

organized the Tenafly Library Society; has been an
officer of the Tenafly Presbyterian Church, and super-
intendent of the Stinday School for over ten years ; has
