McCormick Family.
A SCRAP OF HISTORY.
AS the ancestors of the McCormick family were of " Scotch-
Irish " lineage and in their rcliorious belief were strict Pres-
byterians, it is considered pertinent to the subject to preface
it by a cursory glance at Scotch-Irish history, showing what trials
they undoubtedly endured in their native land by reason of religious
persecutions, which causes were mainly instrumental in inducing
them to leave their country for a frontier life among the American
Indians, in what were then the outskirts of civilization.
Referring to those who migrated hither from the North of Ireland,
who were chiefly Presbyterians, Dr. Williamson, in his History of
North Carolina, says : " The greater number of those people, or
their ancestors, had formerly removed from Scotland. The Earl- of
Tyrone and Tyrconnel, in the Province of Ulster, having conspired
against the government in the reign of James the First, fled from
the kingdom to escape punishment. The two Earls were attainted
by a process of outlawry, upon which their vast estates, about ?i\Q
hundred thousand acres of land, escheated to the crown. King
James resolved, if possible, to improve a country that was covered
by woods, desolated by war, infested by robbers, or inhabited by
ignorant adherents to the Romish Church. For this purpose he
divided the escheated lands into small tracts, and those he gave to
adventurers, who were to settle them within four years with a certain
number of sub-tenants. According to his advice, the preference was

given in distributing the lands to adventurers from the West of
Scotland. They were Protestants from his own country ; they
were industrious people, and the passage being very short, they might
with the greater ease settle the land according to their contracts.
The establishment of prelacy in Scotland in the year 1637, and after-
wards in the year 1661, among people who had adopted the more
simple form of Presbyterian worship, became the additional cause of
numerous emigrations from that kingdom to the North of Ireland.
The superior knowledge, industry and temperance of the Scotch
farmers in a short time enabled them to supplant the natives among
whom they lived, and six of the northern counties, by the end of the
seventeenth century, were chiefly inhabited by the descendants of
Scottish emigrants or the remains of Cromwell's army, but they
were treated like aliens and strangers, with marks of distrust in their
civil capacity, while they were depressed in their religious capacity
by the spirit of intolerance, because they were not of the Established
Church of Ireland. Men, who were thus degraded and vexed by
incapacities and burdens, migrated in thousands to Pennsylvania, a
province where the principles of civil and religious liberty had their
full operation.
The arbitrary measures of James II., together with the apprehen-
sions of a general massacre by the Papists, emboldened as they
were by the undisguised partiality of the king, caused such multi-
tudes, despairing of safety, to fly to foreign climes, that trade
declined and the revenue languished. Successive emigrations from
the North of Ireland continued to pour into Pennsylvania in such
numbers, that by the year 1705 there were sufficient Presbyterian
Churches in that province, in conjunction with those of the provinces
contiguous, to constitute a Presbytery."
As early as 1730-31, Irish and Scotch emigrants crossed the Sus-
quehanna at Paxton, and settled in Cumberland county, Pennsylvania^
though the land was not, until 1736, purchased from the Indians by
6

the proprietors of the province. The Indians had many towns and
wigwams in various parts of the Cumberland Valley, yet the settlers
conciliated them, and for a time natives and foreigners dwelt peace-
ably together. By the year 1736, when the lands of that beautiful
valley were opened by the government for settlement, the homes
already established by the advance guards dotted its entire length
from the Susquehanna to the Maryland line.
Dr. Hawkes, in his lecture on The Mecklenburg Declaration of
Independence, delivered before the New York Historical Society,
Dec. 26, 1852, says, concerning the Scotch- Irish emigrants:
" They reached the place of their settlement by two different
avenues of approach, the one portion came into America by the
Delaware River, landing at Philadelphia, and the other touched our
shores at Charleston, in South Carolina. These latter struck at once
into the fertile forests of the upper country, and approached their
future homes from the South. The others occupied first the desir-
able localities in Pennsylvania, east of the Alleghanies, until finding
need for increased room for their numbers, they passed down first
into Virginia, and then into Carolina, and met the wave of emigra-
tion from the South. Sometimes the hut lifted its humble head from
the dale, and seated on the sunny side of the hill, surrounded by
the evidences of culture, it told in an unpretending way its little
story of homely comfort and quiet seclusion. At first the log cabins,
which betokened civilization, stood often in solitary seclusion. Eight,
ten, fifteen miles were deemed distances that constituted quite a near
neighbor, but scattered as were the people, there was an artificial
feature in the landscape, which showed itself from the beginning.
If you sought it in the spot most convenient to all, you were sure to
find the meeting-house for the worship of God. It was, of course,
at first an humble structure of logs, buried in the deep stillness
of the forest, where it might be overshadowed by the brave old trees,
and near it was commonly to be found, in some shaded little dell, or
7

bursting from the hillside, the full and gushing fountain of water
that nature had provided. Even to this day, the mouldering ruins
and foundations of some of these rustic temples remain, and around
them, protected commonly by a stone wall, are the green mounds and
hillocks of the graveyards where ' the rude forefathers of the hamlet
sleep.'
Of the people, the most prominent feature in their general character
was the intensity of their religious feeling. They seem to have
united the impulsive ardor of the Irish with the keen and cool intel-
lectual perception and shrewdness of the Scotch. The one tempered
the other, they were eminently zealous, and at the same time eminently
practical. They chose to understand a subject first, no matter whether
it were religious or civil liberty, and when the mind once apprehended
what they thought to be true and right, they threw themselves into
the support of it with body and soul. They were as stern enthusiasts
as the old Covenanters, but they knew better the ground of their
enthusiasm. They lived more under the paternal direction of their
spiritual instructors than under the control of the colonial govern-
ment. And these guides were worthy of the place they filled ; they
were educated men, they established schools for their children, they
taught the people faithfully, they were universally venerated, because
they were unspotted in character ; their opinion settled what was right
or wrong, and no man better understood the principles of rational
liberty. When the final struggle came, every one of these spiritual
guides, to a man, was on the side of an oppressed people. Some of
them bore arms, and their voices sent out among these hardy moun-
taineers with clear full sweep of a trumpet's tone the sentiment, that
the cause of national freedom was the cause of God and humanity."

9
McCormick Family,
From the county records of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania,
and from various other sources, it has been learned that there were a
number of families, bearing the name of McCormick, residing in that
county and its vicinity, prior to 1750.
Although no relationship has been traced between them, yet they
were doubtless all of the same stock, as a North of Ireland nativity
and a Presbyterian faith were common to them all.
John and Samuel McCormick paid taxes in East Pennsboro' Town-
ship in 1750. They were near neighbors of Thomas McCormick
( 1st), and may have been his brothers, but this relationship is only a
matter of surmise.
In Rupp's "History of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania," there
may be found a copy of a letter, dated August 24, 1 756, addressed to
the Secretary of the Colony in Philadelphia, advising him of the
" melancholy state " in which the colonists found themselves by
reason of the savage Indians. This letter was signed, among others,
by John and Samuel McCormick.
In Rupp's History, mention is also made of " McCormick's Fort"
at Conodoguinet, and again of the fact, that, by an Act of the
Assembly of Jan. 27, 1750, John McCormick and four others, as
trustees for the County of Cumberland, were authorized to purchase
a piece of land in the said county, and thereon build a court house
and a prison.
The name of John McCormick, with forty others, is also found
signed to a document, bearing date June 27, 1768, guaranteeing to
Rev. John Steel, " then minister at the Silvers Spring Church," his
yearly stipend.
This John McCormick died in 1782, and his widow, Jane, in 1788.
From her will it appears that they had five children, namely : John,
Margaret, who married Hugh Quigley, Elizabeth, who became Mrs.
Adams, and two daughters whose names are unknown.

On July 29, 1689, following the celebrated siege of the city of
Londonderry, Ireland, there was presented to William III. and Mary

Among these names occurs that of James McCormick, of whom
is know^n little else, save that he was the progenitor of the family of
that name, who somewhat later emigrated to America.
He had several children, of whom two were :

McCormick. He was a prominent fireman, lieutenant-colonel of one
of the militia regiments, and for many years Secretary of the Mer-
chants Exchange Company. He was a large operator in real estate
in New York and Brooklyn, and a man of education and extensive
reading. Although admitted to the bar, and a student of medicine,
he never practiced law or medicine. He was active in church work
during most of his life ; was interested in benevolent and educational
societies, and well known for intelligence, enterprise and public
spirit, but held no political office.

Born in New York City May 23, 1832.
Mr. McCormick received a classical education, with a view to
entering Columbia College, (New York.) His health was not
robust, and his father decided that, instead of going to college, he
should travel extensively in Europe. This he did in 1854-5. His
letters from the Crimea, where he spent some weeks, at the height
of the Siege of Sebastopol, were published in book form in 1 855 ;
and in 1858-9 he edited the Toung AlerCs Magazine^ in New
York, and was connected with various movements for the benefit
of young men. In i860 he was invited by Mr. William Cullen
Bryant to a position in the editorial department of the Evening
Post of that city. -He went to Washington, upon the inaugura-
tion of President Lincoln, and in 186 1-2 he was a war correspon-
dent with the Army of the Potomac for the Post^ and other New
York Journals.
Mr. McCormick was well known to President Lincoln, and was
by him made Secretary of Arizona, upon the organization of that
Territory, serving 1863-6. He was Governor 1866-9, *"^ ^^^
elected Delegate to Congress for three successive terms, 1869-75 ;
making a record of which Mr. Blaine, who was Speaker of the
House of Representatives for the same period, thus speaks in his
book : " Twenty Years in Congress " : " In Congress Richard
C. McCormick became distinguished for the zeal and ability with
which he guarded the interests of his constituents.'^
26
McCorniick Family.
As Secretary and Governor of Arizona, Mr. McCormick took a
leading part in the organization of the Territory, in the encourage-
ment of the early settlers, in the opening of the mining districts,
the construction of road and building of towns, as well as in the
measures necessary, for years, for protection against the depreda-
tions of the hostile Apaches.
Mr. McCormick established the Arizona Miner in 1864, and the
Arizona Citizen in 1870, journals still in existence. He was a Dele-
gate from Arizona to the Republican National Conventions of
1872, 1876 and 1880, and was a Commissioner to the United States
Centennial Exhibition 1873-6; First Assistant Secretary of the
United States Treasury 1877, and Commissioner General to the Paris
Exposition of 1878, when he was made a commander of the Legion
of Honor by the French Government. In 1877 he was tendered
the Mission to Brazil, and in 1879 that to Mexico, both of which he
declined. In 1880 he retired from public life, and entered business
in New York City, making his residence at the family home at
Jamaica, Long Island, where he served first as President of the
Board of Education, and secondly, as President of the State Normal
School at that place.
In 1862 Mr. McCormick was nominated by the Republicans for
Congress in the first District of New York (Long Island) and again
nominated in 1886, but not elected, the district being heavily Demo-
cratic. In 1894 he was nominated and elected to the 54th Congress
by a large majority ; and thus returned to public life.
In addition to his volume on the Crimean War entitled "A Visit
to the Camp before Sebastopol," Mr. McCormick published in i860,
" St. Paul's to St. Sophia," or, « Sketches of Travel in Europe." He
is also the author of several political and historical pamphlets, and
has written much for the press upon miscellaneous topics. He com-
piled the reports, (five volumes), of the United States Commissioners

to the Paris Exposition of 1878. In his letter to Congress, submit-
ting these reports, the Secretary of State, Mr. Evarts, said :
^^ The labor of planning and directing our national representation
at the Exposition rested upon the Commissioner General, who
accepted the res|>onsibility at the special request of the President.
It is a pleasing duty to say that the arduous trust devolved upon
Mr. McCormick was noty^fulfilled with exemplary diligence, ability
and zeal, but it was due to his personal exertions that almost insur-
mountable difficulties were overcome, and that the credit of the
people of the United States as exhibitors was not only maintained,
but greatly advanced."
Mr. McCormick married in October, 1865, Margaret G. Hunt,
only daughter of Isaac L. Hunt, of Rahway, N. J. She died at
Prescott, Arizona, in April, 1867. At Washington, D. C, in
November, 1873, Mr. McCormick married Elizabeth, youngest
daughter of Hon. Allen G. Thurman, of Columbus, Ohio, at that
time a Senator of the United States.

January 6, 1890. For much of the time he was the executive officer
of the company, and most of its docks and warehouses, among the
first in the United States, were constructed under his direct super-
vision. He was quicksightcd, systematic and energetic as a business

(now The Outlook^ ; 1877-82, and, later, an editor of the New Tork
Observer. In 1890 he succeeded his father as secretary of the
Atlantic Dock Company of Brooklyn, and filled that ofHce most
creditably until his death, at his summer home, at Noroton, Conn.,
October 10, 1891. Mr. McCormick was a ready writer. He made
three tours of observation in Europe, during which he wrote charm-
ing descriptive letters for the Christian Union and Observer, The
boys and girls were indebted to him for some of the best stories
published in Wide Aivake^ and similar monthly publications, and his
friends regret that he did not write more, as his stories, whether of
real life, or romance, were peculiarly fascinating, pure and healthful.
In New York he was a member of Dr. John HalPs Presbyterian
Church, and for some years took a leading part in the Mission School
work of that church. In Brooklyn he belonged to the Westminster
Presbyterian Church, and was active in its interests and all good works.
Mr. McCormick married in 1888 Laura Case, daughter of
Benjamin J. Brenton, of Jamaica, N. Y., and had issue : Theodora
Eliot, born September 14, 1890.
In a sketch of Mr. McCormick's happy and useful life, his pastor.
Dr. James M. Ludlow, wrote :
"A peculiar characteristic of Mr. McCormick was his loving dis-
position, and especially his love for boys. His Sabbath School class
was always large and popular ; he organized a Boy s^ club in Brooklyn,
to which he gave his best thoughts and much of his time. The
young people about him could not exhaust the patience with which
he served them. The richest stores of his mind, his deepest sympa-
thies, his practical and kindly counsel were always at their demand.
More than one young man now advancing in honorable and successful
life, regards his acquaintance with Mr. McCormick as among his
chief blessings."
His cousin, Hon. Richard C. McCormick, has given this testimony :
'^ Mr. McCormick was quiet and reserved in manner, and only those

Gertealogy,
who knew him intimately and well could appreciate his fine gifts of
mind and heart. To such his early death is a mystery ; closing as it
does an earthly life true to every refined instinct and elevated senti-
ment, and giving promise of great usefulness and influence, and all
that constitutes a noble manhood, enriched by a simple and unfalter-
ing Christian faith."

His paternal grandfather was Robert Foresman, one of the
pioneers of the White Deer Valley. He was reared under the
parental roof, and remained with his parents until he was 26 years
of age, assisting his father to support the family. He received a
common school education, and taught two winter terms, and with
the money thus acquired, he took a course of two years at Dickin-
son Seminary. In April, 1861, he enlisted in Co. D. nth Pa.
Volunteers ; served four months, and then returned home to assist
in tilling the farm. He afterwards went out with the Emergency
men, during Lee's invasion of Pennsylvania. In 1876 the firm of
Williams & Foresman was established. From that time, up to the
present, they have carried on business very successfully, and arc
recognized as one of the prominent lumber firms of Williamsport.

Stephen McCormick.
Fauquier County, Virginia.
Stephen McCormick, the inventor of the McCormick plow, was
born on his father's farm on the Upper Rappahannock, in Fauquier
County, Virginia, August 26, 1784, and died in the same county,
August 28, 1875, ^^ *^^ residence of his son-in-law, Mr. S. G. Cat-
lett, of Catlett, Va. He is buried on his old farm, at Auburn, some
five miles west of Warrenton.
Mr. McCormick was the youngest son of John McCormick and
Elizabeth Morgan, his wife, and sprang from that family of McCor-
micks, who were present at the siege of Londonderry, and after-
wards removed to Pennsylvania, and from thence tq Virginia. ^ His
mother was of the family of the famous American General, Daniel
Morgan.
It is said that young Stephen was a remarkably intelligent and
handsome youth, fond of out-door sports, healthy, strong and well
developed, for his age, and that when his father desired that he
should make the law his profession, he flatly refused. His energetic
mind and body, his mechanical and inventive genius sought delight
in other active and congenial pursuits, so he preferred the farm and
the shop.
He became greatly interested in the construction of a grist mill
on his father's farm, and when a mere youth, made a number of
successful experiments in the dressing of the nether millstone,
which greatly increased the producing power of the mill. This was
highly appreciated by the neighbors, who, at that day, depended
entirely upon old-fashioned water mills for flour and meal.
About this time his father gave him a fine young horse, and com-
ing upon him rather unexpectedly, one day, was greatly fretted to
iifi
STEPHEN Mccormick.

^
McCormick Family,
catch young Stephen engaged, with his young companions, in run-
ning a horse race. The old gentleman became irritated, ordered
Stephen to the house, required him to hitch his horse to a
plow and go to work, remarking to him that he would give him
some more useful and profitable employment. Stephen took hold of
the plow handles, ran a few furrows, and becoming so disgusted
with the old clumsy wooden implement, ceased work, and declared he
would make a better. He succeeded, after some years, and produced
the scientific, shapely and valuable plow that bears his name.
The difference between the old and the new, among other things,
^ consisted^in changing the wooden mold-board, then in use, to a cast-
' iron one — the whole cast in one piece, and reaching from the share to
the beam, and giving the new mold-board a new contour, or face, over
which the earth would more easily pass. It decreased the draft,
deepened the furrow, and pulverized the soil more thoroughly, thus
increasing the amount of plowing that could be done in a day and
improving the quality thereof.
This plow revolutionized the cultivation of the soil in the Pied-
mont and valley sections of Virginia, where the face of the country
is generally rocky and hilly. It decreased the labor and added to
the incomes of the farmers. It was first used about the year 1816,
and patented about 1820; was largely manufactured in Virginia and
elsewhere, and remained the Standard for years. Slight changes in
it were afterwards made, mostly to avoid the patent, yet the essential
principles of the plan were retained, and it is still said of it : " The
McCormick plow was a great invention ; it was by far the best of
its day, and, in fact, as successful as any made now."
When Generel LaFayette visited this country in 1824, Mr. Mc
Cormick presented him with a plow, which he carried to France
and had entered in a plowing match at Paris, where it took the pre-
mium as the best.
The subject of this sketch was twice married. His first wife was
118
•
GeNealogy,
Miss Sarah Barnett, of Fauquier, whom he married in February,
1807. To them were born three sons, viz :
L. James,
John Ambrose, and
William,
All of whom left Virginia in their youth, James going to South
Carolina, where he wrote and published a higher school arith-
metic, which was highly appreciated and used in the schools there.
The other two moved to Iowa and died many years ago. Their
mother died about 18 14, and is buried at Auburn, Virginia. The
second wife was Miss Elizabeth M. Benson, third daughter of
James Benson, Esq., and Dulciebella Berry, his wife, of Stafford
County, Virginia. This marriage occurred on February 29, 18 16,
and by it were born to him,
Richard Henry,
Willis Berry,
Robert Lysander,
Agnes,
Judith,
Dulcie,
Mary,
Stephen and Elizabeth, (twins), and
Virginia.
The sons all died, after reaching manhood, without issue, except
Willis Berry, who, in 1840, married Miss Virginia Millan, only
daughter of Capt. George Millan, of Fairfax County, Virginia.
To them were born eight sons and daughters, and in 1858, he, with
his family, removed to Texas, and settled in Colorado County, near
to the spot, where now stands the flourishing little city of Weimar.
He and his wife both departed this life a few years ago. The eldest
son, George, resides now at Columbus, Texas, where he has been
114
McCormick Family,
engaged in the practice of the law since the war. The second,
Stephen, is at Weimar, and is the Postmaster of that city, under
President Cleveland's appointment. Both married in Texas and
have large families.
Of Stephen McCormick's daughters, Agnes married Judge Dun-
can, of Missouri; Judith, the Rev. Mr. Pratt, of Minnesota;
Dulcie, the Rev. H. C. Cushing, of Prince William, Va. ; Eliza-
beth, S. G. Catlett, of Catlett, Va. ; Virginia, a Mr. Johnston, of
Union, W. Va. Mary died when quite young and is buried in the
family graveyard at Auburn, Va.
Stephen McCormick, as it were, inherited his religious belief from
his ancestors. He was, for many years, a devoted Old School Pres-
byterian. He devotedly loved his native State and her institutions,
and in his old age, used to laughingly boast that he " had voted for
every democratic nominee for the Presidency, from Thomas Jeffer-
son to Jefferson Davis."
His character was that of an honest, candid and fearless man.
He neither sought difficulties nor avoided them. He was a kind
and most humane master ; the friend of the poor and the needy, and
during the life of his last wife his home was noted for hospitality,
and he and she, for their Christian charity.

At the breaking out of the civil war, Charles C. McCormick was
among the first to respond to his country's call, and owing to his
military tact, indomitable energy and unquestionable bravery, he
gradually arose from the rank of private to that of Brigadier General.
On Oct. 9, 1 86 1, he enlisted in Co. D., Eighth Regiment (Seventh
Cavalry), and Nov. 18, 1861, was promoted to be Captain of Co. L.
On Jan. 10, 1863, he became Colonel of the Regiment, and was
brevetted Brigadier General, Mar. 13, 1865, for long, faithful and
gallant service. He was mustered out, Aug. 23, 1865, and was pro-
moted, after the war, to the rank of Major General of the National
Guards of Pennsylvania. He fought in the Army of the Tennessee
as a cavalryman, and was wounded at Bardstown, Kentucky, and
Salam, Alabama. The bullets received at the latter place remained
in his body until his death. He participated in the battles of Mur-
freesboro. Stone River, Alexandria, Chickamauga, Macon, Dallas,
Atlanta, Columbia and Kenesaw Mountain. At the close of the
war he returned to Milton and purchased an interest in the firm of
Murray, Dougal & Co., car manufacturers, from which he retired
in 1877.
On June 3, 1868, he married Charlotte A. Wright, daughter of
L M. and Sarah Blake Wright, of Troy, N. Y.

Few names are more identified with Northwestern Pennsylvania,
and none more associated with Erie, than that of the lawyer and
statesman now mentioned. He was one of eight children of John
and Isabella (McCormick) Walker; born in Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, February 9th, 1800. His ancestors were of Scotch,
Scotch Irish, and English origin, and among the very early settlers
of Pennsylvania. His great grandfather, William Walker, came to
Pennsylvania in 1710, — but eighteen years after William Penn.
The Walkers settled in Lancaster County. His grandfather, Wil-
liam Walker, afterwards removed to Cumberland County, and his
father, in 18 17, removed from Cumberland to Washington County,
Pennsylvania. His mother, Isabella McCormick, the daughter of
Thomas and Jane (Oliver) McCormick, was born Dec. 29, 1759,
on the present site of Philadelphia, Pa. They came from Ireland
in 1737. They had two sons, John and William, and six daughters,
of whom Isabella was the eldest.
The reference to Mr. Walker's ancestry and race, will explain his
marked tenacity of purpose and rigid pertinacity, while the long
identification of the family with Pennsylvania is mentioned as a
reminder of his loyalty to her interests. Robert John Walker, U.
S. Senator from Mississippi, and Secretary of the Treasury, under
President Polk, was the son of John H. Walker's uncle. Jonathan
Walker, and born, July 14, 1801.
148
Genealogy.
John H. Walker graduated at Washington College, in 1822. He
studied law with an uncle at Pittsburg, and was the next year
admitted to the bar. In 1824 he came to Erie to reside. From that
time he was identified, for half a century, with Erie, as a lawyer
and public man. He was an advocate of great power, and retained
his place as one of the leading men of Northwestern Pennsylvania
until his death. His professional career included an amount of con-
tinuous and arduous professional work, and a prominent, undisputed
and well sustained leadership, which has few parallels in this State.
He was thoroughly Pennsylvanian, by birth, lineage, education and
residence. This was strikingly manifest in his conspicuous service
in the Legislative bodies of the State. In these, his remarkable leg-
islative career has three separate and distinctive but equally removed
periods of service. His first four years in the Legislature commenced
in 1832. The second, as Senator from 1849 to 1852. The third, as
Delegate at Large, to the Constitutional Convention of 1872-4.
As his first service was in the prime of life, the second was in his
full orbed meridian, and the third, after he had passed the Psalmist^R
limit. Each period, was, in a measure, amid different surroundings
of men and of questions. In each period of service his leadership
was recognized ; for, in the first, he was, as Chairman of Ways and
Means Committee, leader of the House ; in the second. Speaker of
the Senate, and in the third, made President of the Constitutional
Convention on the death of William M. Meredith, who, at the head
of the Philadelphia bar and Secretary of the Treasury, under Presi-
dent Taylor, was of national renown. The agitating questions of
these respective eras, were as different as were the personal sur-
roundings. In the first, the creation of corporations and the con-
struction of canals, were foremost. In the second, the building and
regulating of railroads, were of absorbing interest ; and in the third
and final service, the restriction of corporations and the curbing of
their powers, were uppermost in the minds of the f ramers of the
144
McCorniick Family,
Constitution. In all of the groups of men and variety of questions,
Mr. Walker was a leader of leaders. Sound in his principles, clear
in his views of public measures, and earnest in their support, he won
admiration and commanded respect. In the halls of legislation, as
before courts and juries, his presentation of facts was so clear, and
his train of reasoning so cogent, that he generally carried his audi-
ence with him. He struck his sledge-hammer blows with tremend-
ous power, and his sarcasm was withering. He seldom lost a cause.
His heart was in his profession — there, his life-work. Having
mastered its fundamental principles, believing its aim to be the
enforcement of right and the repression of wrong, he devoted his
great abilities to its practice. Though eminently fitted to grace
public positions, he was not an office seeker. He despised the tricks
of the politician. Three times, in his long career, he accepted
public trusts — always to his pecuniary detriment. Each time it was
in interruption of professional duties, to him, so much more con-
genial. Besides, circumstances and his own convictions, had placed
him, in early life, in antagonism to the Democracy in their long and
hardly intermitted control of Pennsylvania. Always their opponent,
Mr. Walker, on each occasion of his appearance in public position,
was found in the leadership of a party of a different name from that
borne during his former service. In 1835, ^^ ^^ coadjutor of Gov-
ernor Ritner, Thaddeus Stevens and Thomas H. Burrows, he was
the leader of the anti-Masonic majority in the House of Represent-
atives.
In 1 85 1-2, as the elect of the Whigs, he presided in the State
Senate, and in 1873-4, as the choice of the Republicans, as Mere-
dith's successor in the President's chair, in a body, of which
Governors Bigelow and Curtin, Judges Black and Dallas, were
members. He had passed the meridian of his life when the Penn-
sylvania Democracy were overthrown, but in the " borrowed time "
allotted him, after his three-score-and-ten, he aided in forming a
143
Genealogy,
Constitution to protect the people from mischiefs, which, as a
legislator, he had perceived and deplored. He was a public spirited
citizen, keenly alive to the interests of Erie and resolute in their
defence. He did much to improve the city, having erected an indus-
trial plant and many dwellings. While in the Legislature, he
obtained from the State, the grant of the beautiful farm for the
Alms House, and the " Third Section " of land in Mill Creek for
improvement of Erie harbor. He was active in the development of
the railroad system centering at Erie, and devoted much of time and
means to maintain a plank road. His domestic relations were unu-
sually happy. In 1831, he married Miss Catherine D. Kelley, a
native of New Hampshire. Their home was in the imposing brick
mansion on West Seventh street, erected in 1837, ^^*^^ identified
with the family name. He was noted for his love of home, and
though Mrs. Walker died in i860, more than fourteen years prece-
ding the death of her husband, the memory of her grace of manner
and kindness of heart, lingers like a spell. After her death, Mr.
Walker kept open his spacious, elegant home, and by his will,
directed that for ten years, his home, with the furniture and pictures,
with all their associations, should be continued as a family house-
hold.
His exertions in the Constitutional Convention told upon his
strength. He returned home enfeebled, and, " full of years and
honors," died on Jan. 25, 1875.

After graduation, at Princeton, he spent some years in the con-
struction of railroads in Missouri and Illinois. Having returned to
Erie, he was active in raising the iiith Regiment of Pennsylvania
Volunteers, which served until the close of the war. No one was
more identified with his regiment than General Walker. He entered
as Major and rose to be its Colonel, and was, for his gallant conduct,
brevetted Brigadier General. While Major, in the absence of the
Colonel and Lieutenant-Colonel, he commanded the Regiment at
the battles of Cedar Mountain and Antietam, and for his gallantry
was presented with a splendid sword by the ladies of Erie. It was
fitly said, by the Erie Disfatch^ in speaking of the Regiment : " It
has seen more hard fighting, done more active duty, and obtained a
wider reputation, in proportion to its service, than almost any other
in the country." His regiment was the first to enter Atlanta and
the last to leave that city, while forming part of General Sherman's
Army in his "March to the Sea." The visit of the iiith Regi-
ment to Erie, in the winter of 1864, was the occasion of a public
reception, and a great manifestation of affection and esteem for Col.
Walker and his men. His military record was a glorious one. He
returned, at the close of the war, and entered business in Erie. In
1870 he was elected Sheriff of Erie County. He was Chairman of
the Republican County Committee, in 1868-69. He was appointed

Robert Fleming Sample was born in the town of Corning, N. Y.,
Oct. rg, 1829.
After his mother's death in 1834, he was sent to school in Geneva,
N. Y., and continued his studies in an academy at Milton, Pa., enter-
ing Jefferson College at Cannonsburg, Pa., during the presidency
of the Rev. Robert J. Breckenridge, D. D., where he graduated with
honor. During the last year of his theological course at Allegheny
City, he was called to the First Presbyterian Church of Mercer, Pa.,
as successor to the Rev. Joseph T. Smith, D. D. His subsequent
pastorates were in Bedford, Pa., Minneapolis, Minn., and New York
City. His most important work was done in connection with the
Westminster church of Minneapolis, where he ministered for nearly
twenty years. The membership of the church had advanced to a
thousand, and the congregation was worshipping in one of the finest
church edifices in this country, when he resigned this interesting and
beloved charge on account of ill- health, induced by overwork and
the rigor of the climate. After a brief sojourn in the South, he ac-
cepted a call to the Westminster Church of New York city, where
he still remains. In 1876 he received the honorary degree of Doctor
of Divinity from Wooster University, of Ohio. Dr. Sample has
been a trustee of Macalister College, a director of McCormick Sem-
inary, a member of the Presbyterian Board of Publication, and is at
present a member of the Board of Church Erection, and a Trustee

then commenced reading for the bar. The year 1823 found him a
member of the bar of Cumberland County, and 1825 a member of
the bar of Dauphin County. Success crowned his every endeavor in
public life. He was a member and President of the borough council
of Harrisburg for some time, President of the Dauphin Deposit
Bank, of the Harrisburg Bridge Co., and of the Harrisburg Ceme-
tery. In his church connection he was for many years a trustee of

After an early education received at the Public Schools, Harris-
burg Academy, and Partridge's Military Institute, he entered Yale
College, graduating from there in 1852.
The study of law, to which he early gave his attention, was not a
sufficiently stirring occupation, and he accordingly gave it up, choos-
ing instead the iron business at Reading Furnace. In 1857, he took
the management of Paxtang Furnace, and nine years later that of the
nail works at Fairview, Cumberland Co., Pa., which he conducted
successfully for twenty-five years.
Long before the time when railroads crossed the continent, he
traveled over the great plains and mountain ranges to the Pacific,
and returned via the Isthmus.
On the outbreak of the war, he gathered together a company of
volunteers, Company F, 25th Regiment P. V., of whom more than
half served later as commissioned ofiicers.
Having been made Colonel of the First Regiment, Pennsylvania
Militia, he was later appointed to the command of the First Brigade
by Major General John F. Reynolds, and after the Battle of Antie-
tam brought home the whole division, Penna. Militia.
Governor Hartranft appointed him a Commissioner in the new
Geological Survey of Pennsylvania, and he was later elected as its
Treasurer.
He married Annie Criswell, Jan. 29, 1866.

Hon. Archibald Loudon Snowden was born in Cumberland County,
Pa. On his father's side he traces his ancestry in America back to
the earliest settlers in New England. His ancestor, William Snow-
den, under patents from the Duke of York, owned large bodies of
land in Philadelphia, in 1669. John Snowden, the son of William,

was no less distinguished for his enterprise and probity as a merchant
than for his benevolence and high Christian character. He was one
of the founders of the First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia,
and is believed to have been the first Elder of that denomination
ordained in America. His son, Isaac, born in 1710, was one of the
founders of the Second Presbyterian Church in the same city. His
son, also named Isaac, born in 1740, was an Elder in the same church,
and was a Commissioner appointed by Congress to issue Continental
money. His son. Rev. Nathaniel Randolph Snowden, was born in
Philadelphia, in 1770, and was the first Presbyterian clergyman over
the first church in Harrisburg, the capital of the State.
His son. Dr. Isaac Wayne Snowden, the father of the subject of
our sketch, was born in 1793. He entered the United States army
as Assistant Surgeon, when he was under twenty years of age, served
with distinction in the Seminole war under General Jackson, and was
severely wounded at Fort Scott. He subsequently resigned from
the army and settled in the beautiful Cumberland Valley, Pennsyl-
vania, where he married Margery Bines Loudon, daughter of Archi-
bald Loudon, granddaughter of Matthew and Elizabeth McCormick
Loudon, and great great granddaughter of Thomas McCormick.
Col. Snowden, the subject of our sketch, received a preliminary
education in the academies of Newville and Mechanicsburg, Pa., and
completed his education at Jefferson, now Washington and Jefferson
College, in Washington County, Pa. At this college, he twice rep-
resented his class as orator. On leaving college he studied law,
accepting in the meantime the position of Registrar of the United
States Mint in Philadelphia, during the directorship of his uncle,
Hon. James Ross Snowden. On the outbreak of the war in 1861,
he assisted in raising a regiment of infantry and was commissioned
Lieutenant Colonel. Subsequently, Col. Snowden participated in the
campaigns made by the First City Troop of Philadelphia, the oldest
military organization, with a continuous history in the United States.

It was the body-guard of Washington during the Revolution. Of
this famous corps, after fifteen years of continuous service, Col.
Snowden becaoie the Commander. In the Mint service he was
appointed, in 1866, the Chief Coiner by the President, and continued
in that office until 1877, when he was appointed Postmaster of Phila-
delphia by President Grant. In 1878, he declined the office of
Director of all the Mints of the United States, twice tendered him by
President Hayes. In 1879, he accepted the Chief Executor's office
in the Philadelphia Mint, where he remained until after the inaugu-
ration of President Cleveland, in 1885, when he resigned from the
Mint service, being recognized everywhere as the best authority in
America on all subjects relating to Mint, coins and coinage. He
introduced important machinery from different parts of the world for
the rapid and artistic production of our coinage. Among numerous
articles relating to coinage and medalistic history, of which he is the
author, may be mentioned his paper giving researches in relation to
the history of the Great Seal of the United States, which obtained
widespread attention and most favorable commendation. In 1879,
he was designated by the Councils of Philadelphia to organize the
great demonstration of Dec. 16, in honor of General Grant. This
demonstration was most imposing, embracing 47,000 persons, and
many thousand horses, in the street parade. In 1887, the Commis-
sion having in charge the appropriate celebration of the Centennial
of the adoption of the Constitution framed in Philadelphia, requested
Colonel Snowden to organize the industrial demonstration. This he
did with consummate skill, and upon such broad lines, that it became
the chief feature of the great celebration. Col. Snowden, in assum-
ing charge of the work, resolved that all departments and branches
of our industrial, intellectual and moral life, should be so illustrated,
that the demonstration should be a great object lesson, illustrative of
the progress made in a century of constitutional government. The
ability and energy displayed by Col. Snowden in this important work

received from the Commission, and the public, just recognition and
hearty thanks.
In 1889, he was appointed United States Minister to Greece, Rou-
mania and Servia. This mission was raised to that of the first-class,
owing to his service in Athens.
In July, 1892, President Harrison transferred him as Minister
Plenipotentiary to Madrid. Here, as our representative, he rendered
most important service, for which he received the especial thanks of
the State Department. In the business and social life of Philadel-
phia, he has been for a long period a conspicuous figure. For many
years he presided most acceptably over the annual meetings of the
stockholders of the Pennsylvania Railroad. He has also been
largely interested in railroad and other business enterprises; was
for many years President of the " United Fire Underwriters of
America," an organization embracing nearly all the insurance com-
panies doing business in this country. He is a Commissioner of
Fairmount Park, a member of nearly all the social clubs of the
city, of the Philosophical Society, the Union League, Pennsylva-
nia Society Sons of the Revolution, and while a pronounced Repub-
lican in politics, and one of the most eloquent and effective speakers
in the State, he, at the same time, enjoys to a marked degree, the
respect and esteem of men of all shades of opinion.

Robert McCormick (1737-Oct. 12, i8i8), was born in Lancaster
County, now Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. His father, Thomas
McCormick, was born in the north of Ireland, in the Province of
Ulster, in the year 1702, and died in East Pennsboro Township,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, in 1762.
I lis grandfather, James McCormick, among other Scottish colo-
nists, participated in the memorable defense of Londonderry when
invested by James II, in 1689. The heroic defenders were reduced
to the extremity of feeding upon the flesh of horses and of dogs, and
finally to obtain nourishment from hides. In this desperate strait
they were succored and the siege was abandoned.
About the year 1734, Thomas McCormick, and his brother Hugh,
emigrated to America and settled in Pennsylvania, locating in Lan-
caster County, Thomas removing to Cumberland County in 1745..
They were of Scotch-Irish descent and Presbyterians; were religious,
strict in attendance at church, in the observance of family worship,
and in asking God's blessing at table. Their children were taught
the Catechism, and the Bible was read at school. They also com-
mitted to memory many of the Psalms.
Robert McCormick, the subject of this sketch, in 1 755 removed to
what is now Juniata County, Pennsylvania, and located near his
brothers, Hugh and Thomas, They frequently suffered from incur-
sions from the Indians, and on one occasion were driven from their
homes. In 1787 his brother Hugh built a stone house, which is still
standing, a print of which is shown on page
Robert McCormick moved with his family to Rockbridge County,
Virginia, in 1779. He was a Revolutionary patriot; served in the
247

Virginia line during the Carolina Campaign under General Nathaniel
Greene, and was wounded at the battle of Guilford Court- House.
While approaching the cover of a fence, a British officer cried out :
"Shoot that damned Rebel."
He had many of the characteristics of the rugged and persevering
race from whom he traced descent. In his private life he was pious,
earnest and in all things honorable ; in religion, a Presbyterian and
an elder of the Old Providence Church, Augusta County, Virginia.
As an illustration of his rigid piety, on one occasion, when the min-
ister of the church gave out hymns to which he objected, instead of
the Psalms of David, he deliberately took up his hat and left the
church, followed by several of the congregation. They at once
organized New Providence Church.
He was held in the highest esteem by his neighbors and associates,
was exemplary in his habits, and his home and attire were marked
with Colonial simplicity. Every Sabbath morning he held family
prayers, and the day was set apart for rest, meditation and sacred uses.
It was his habit in walking to carry a stick f\\Q or six feet^ long,
and though appearing somewhat grotesque, it was the outgrowth of
habits acquired in early life when in the forests his stick was a ready
weapon of defense.
He was a type of the Colonial and Revolutionary epochs, and of
a people who brought into the New World those well known char-
acteristics which have left so indelible an impress upon American
civilization.
He married Martha Sanderson in 1770.

was educated, and in 1797, married Jane Steele, daughter of William
David Steele, a Revolutionary patriot and soldier of Augusta County,
Virginia.
Early in the present century, the pioneer spirit, which has so
signalized the Scotch- Irish race in America, led George Elliot
McCormick to seek a new home in the West, and in 1805, after
a tour of inspection, he settled in Henderson Co., Ky., where he
brought up a large family, who themselves and their descendants
have ranked among the most prominent citizens of the community.
He was known as an upright, pious, and God-serving man, univer-
sally esteemed and respected, and the oldest citizens yet speak of
him, in his old age, as a grand old philosopher.
He survived his wife, who died in 1843, six years. The evening
of his life was calm, philosophical and resigned. He was buried in
the family burial ground.

M., Feb. II, 1808, Mary Ann Hall, (daughter of Patrick
and Susan McChesney Hall), who died June r, 1853.
D., at Walnut Grove, July 4, 1846.
Robert McCormick, (1780-1846), to whose memory this work, in
filial reverence, is dedicated, and whose genius has given a world-
wide fame to his family, had many of the characteristics of his
father, (p. ).
He was a man of strong character, of a retiring disposition, and
of refined and cultivated tastes. In religion, he was a Presbyterian,
and in his life exemplary. He was held in high esteem and respect
by his neighbors, and was always a ready friend of those in need of
counsel or assistance. His home was typical of Virginia life follow-
ing the Revolutionary ejx»ch.
He came by inheritance into the old homestead — Walnut Grove.
His wife was a devoted and self-sacrificing woman ; like her hus-
band, social and hospitable, and their home was a place where
friends or strangers were always welcome. His character and dis-
position were worthy of praise and imitation, yet he never sought
the praise of the world. Rev. James Morrison said of him : " He
was a man of remarkable mind, and that from him he had gotten
many beautiful and original thoughts on the Bible."
But it is of the life and work of a great inventor with which we
are primarily concerned.
His inventive genius was practical, and in every instance directed
to the amelioration of the conditions of the age in which he lived.
800
McCormick Family,
He invented a machine for breaking and cleaning hemp and flax
which was used with much success in Virginia and Kentucky ; a
threshing machine, which proved highly satisfactory ; a useful horse-
power of novel design and skilful construction ; a hydraulic machine ;
a clover sheller, and a blacksmith's bellows, which were introduced
with general approval.
But his aspiring mind aimed at a still broader field of usefulness.
For nearly forty years his life was devoted to one great, earnest pur-
pose. It was his mechanical genius which conceived, devised and
executed one of the greatest inventions which has assisted to carry
forward American development. In 1809-10, he conceived and
constructed a grain-cutting machine, which embodied the principles
of the modern reaper, and may well be termed the foundation of
the harvesting machine industry, since it combined the reel with
which to carry the standing grain back to the cutting knife, and
when cut, on to a platform, from which it was raked by a man
walking alongside of the machine. This reaper embodied the com-
bination of the reel, the cutting knife, the platform, the driving
wheel, and the main frame to which the horses were attached.
These, in connection with the revolving apron, for side delivery,
which was added in 18 16, make a combination of parts which form
the vital principles of the perfected reaper of the present day. His
original machine anticipated the inventions of Smith, of the Dean-
ston Cotton Works, Perthshire, Scotland, Rev. Patrick Bell, Burrall,
William and Thomas Schnebly, Randall and Hussey. When he
improved his combination by supplying the vibrating sickle, the
reaper became a practical invention, which he continued to manu-
facture and use until the time of his death in 1846. But, bent upon
developing his inventions, and without regard to the benefit which
might accrue from them to himself and family, he, like others of
that time, neglected the important step of taking out letters patent.
In addition to his inventions, he displayed much administrative
801
Ge7tealogy.
ability in the management of two thousand acres of land, operating
at the same time a grist-mill and two saw-mills — the latter in connec-
tion with his manufacturing interests.
He was a man of marked individuality and versatility, and although
his life-work led into the field of scientific inquiry, his mind was
essentially practical and keenly alive to the current questions of his
day.
In person he was of dignified bearing, of unassuming manners,
of refined tastes, and numbered among his associates many of the
leading men of his day.

William Sanderson McCormick was a man of attractive person-
ality, and a strong character. From his youth up his mastery of
detail, combined with great executive ability, attracted attention.
These qualities first manifested themselves, in a marked degree, in
the management of his father's large plantation in Virginia, and
afterwards in the broader field which opened up to him when he
came to Chicago to join his brothers in the manufacture of the
Reaper. He assumed the management of the finances of the firm,
handling them with consummate skill. He regulated the increasing
annual purchases of stocks of lumber, coal, pig iron and other
required supplies, as well as the credits to be extended to farmers
At the outbreak of the war, foreseeing the magnitude of the
impending conflict, and the dangers of a depreciated currency, he
entered into contracts for material greatly beyond the immediate
needs of the firm, and made large purchases of real estate and gold
for account of the firm, which turned out most satisfactorily.

McCormick Family,
To his sagacity and untiring labors are largely due the proportions
of the business at the time of his death, and the firm foundations
which underlie it to this day. It was he who established the com-
pany's agency system, which still survives. No one contributed
more to the early development of Chicago. He was a man of great
original force, and in full sympathy with the spirit of progress,
which inspired and still inspires, the upbuilders of the West. Sys-
tematic in business, he was yet a man of keen sympathies and gen-
erous disposition, and the affection and esteem in which his memory
is cherished, at the end of thirty years, is the best testimony to his
character. Stricken down in the prime of life and usefulness, his
death was a distinct loss to the community, for had he lived he
would have done much in recognition of the fortune which had
already crowned his efforts.
His associates, who have survived him, and who are to-day in the
front rank, say, that had he lived, he would still have been a recog-
nized factor in Chicago's growth and progress. Though enjoying
social life, he was domestic in his tastes — a loving parent and devoted
husband. The world is better for having known such men as Wil-
liam S. McCormick. In him were all the elements of true manhood.
He married, July ii, 1848, Mary Ann Grigsby, ( B., May 18,

B., April 18, 1817, in Rockbridge Co., Va.
D., Mar. 18, 1888, at the residence of her son in Highland
Park, 111., and was buried in Graceland Cemetery,
Chicago.
She was deeply imbued, from her infancy, with the religious spirit
of her ancestry, and early converted to loving trust in Christ and
devotion to His service.
She completed her education at Miss Sheffey's Academy, Staun-
ton, Augusta Co., Va.
Shortly after leaving school she assumed the duties and cares of
her mother's household affairs, and what these were, only those can
know who are familiar with the responsibilities incident to providing,
not only for the family, but for a large number of servants, and the
management of a house where southern hospitality was dispensed
with so open a hand. She was looked on by all as an indispensable
member of the family.
Her early life was a preparation for the arduous duties, cares,
anxieties and trials, that followed her in after years.
When she became the wife of Rev. James Shields, a minister of
the United Presbyterian Church, their home was about a mile from
Mexico, Juniata Co., Pa.
How much of her husband's success, in his ministerial labors, and
of his delightful relations to all his people, was due to her blended
sweetness and strength of Christian character, it would be impossible
to measure, although easy for all who knew her to understand.
Fifteen years of union in life's most sacred toils and services,
818

were allotted them, when, in 1862, her husband died while on his
way to Minnesota in search of recuperation.
In April, 1863, she removed with her two children to Chicago,
built, and lived in a beautiful house, which was destroyed by the
great fire of 1871.
She lost her home and her personal effects, escaping only with the
clothing she wore. With her son and daughter, she spent the night
on a steamer, which tied up to a pier near the light-house, and the
next morning went up to Madison street on a tug; thence to the
west division of the city.
She rebuilt her house and occupied it but a short time, after which
she removed to Highland Park, and lived with her son, happy in her
wide circle of kindred and friends, happy in her children, and thrice
happy in her grandchildren.
During the last few years of her life she suffered much from
bronchitis. She spent two seasons in the South ; later she visited
several Northern health resorts, but to no purpose, as the disease
grew steadily upon her, and from it, she died.
Her last audible words were truly characteristic of her. In answer
to the sentiment expressed by her daughter : " Mother, we will try
and follow you," she replied, in whispered words, " Follow Christ."
Her remains were accompanied by her nephews and kindred to
their last resting place.

theological studies, he was licensed to preach by the presbytery of
the United Presbyterian Church, April 2, 1834. In the spring of
1835 ^^ ^^ ordained pastor of the congregation of Fermanagh and
Tuscarora, in Jimiata Co., Pa., and continued to preach to the first
named church until his death.
In July, 1862, at the solicitation of his brother-in-law, William S.
McCormick, he left home for a season of recreation among the
streams and lakes of Minnesota, but on reaching Prairie du Chien,
he was taken seriously ill, and died of typhoid fever on the 19th of
August, 1862.

Ge7iealogy,
a. James Hall Shields.
The subject of this sketch is the only son, who lived beyond
infancy, of the Rev. James Shields and Mary Caroline McCormickj
his wife. He was born near the village of Mexico, Juniata Co., Pa.,
on June i, 1849. His early life was spent in the home of his birth,
from whence he attended, for two or three winters, the country dis-
trict school, and during two winters, together with his sister, he was
under the care and teaching of a governess, in the house. His
father died, August 19, 1862, and the following spring his mother
removed to Chicago. Very soon after his arrival in Chicago, his
mother placed him in school at Palmer's Academy, corner of Con-
gress street and Wabash avenue. From January to June, 1864, be
attended Prof. Quackenboss' private school, on the North side. In
the fall of 1864 he began his course of academical studies at the
Chicago University, and was admitted to the Freshman class in 1867.
Much against his mother's wishes he decided to enter upon a busi-
ness career, and, therefore, left the University at the Christmas
vacation, in 1867, and after a three months' course at a Commercial
College, went into the office of his uncles, in April, 1868. Begin-
ning in the capacity of an office boy he served the firm of C. H. &
L. J. McCormick from this time on until November, 1882, (with the
exception of about a year and a half, dating from August, 1873,
during which time he was engaged in a manufacturing business on
his own account). He filled various positions in the office, and at
the time of his leaving the service of the Harvesting Machine Com-
pany he had charge of the supply department and the printing and
advertising.
In February, 1883, he entered into a partnership under the name
of Shields & Brown, for the manufacture and sale of a patented
article of steam pipe and boiler coverings. Under careful and judi-
cious management the business increased so that, at the end of four
816
McCormick Fafnily,
years, the house had a branch in New York, and was doing business
in all parts of the United States. In the spring of '87, the Shields
& Brown Co. was incorporated in New York State. This company,
in turn, sold out to the H. W. Johns Mfg. Co., on the ist of July,
1 89 1, and Mr. Shields became the manager of the western branch,
which position he now holds.
On October 17, 1878, Mr. Shields was married to Nellia Manville
Culver, daughter of Charles E. Culver, of Chicago, and resided
with his mother, at 380 Erie street, until the ist of May, i88i,
when he removed to 303 Huron street, a residence given to his wife
by her father. In August, 1S86, he went, with his family, to High-
land Park, (a beautiful suburban city, twenty-three miles north of
Chicago), to spend the summer, and finding the advantages so much
superior to those of the city, for the health and comfort of their
family, Mr. and Mrs. Shields exchanged their city home for a
delightful and commodious residence, with extensive grounds, over-
looking Lake Michigan.
Since his residence in Highland Park, Mr. Shields has taken an
active interest in everything that pertained to the public welfare, and
has taken a prominent place in public affairs. He served the city for
two years in the Common Council, durifig which time he took a
leading part on the most important committees, and accomplished
much in the way of public and permanent improvements for the city.
He also served for three years as a member of the Board of Edu-
cation, during which time a new and elegant school house was built.
In 1865, Mr. Shields united with the North Presbyterian Church.
He has always taken an active interest in Sunday School work, and
has filled all positions in the Sunday School, in connection with his
own church in the city and in Mission Schools. For several years
past he has been Superintendent of the Sabbath School of the High-
land Park Presbyterian Church, and also Chairman of the Board
of Trustees of that church.
317
Genealogy,
In the fall of 1891, Mr. Shields and a few of his friends in High-
land Park, held a meeting in his library, for the purpose of organ-
izing a family social club in that city. On December 9th, 1S93, the
Highland Park Club opened its beautiful club house and extensive
grounds, to its members, with Mr. Shields as president of the organ-
ization for the first two years. Much of the phenomenal success of
this delightful addition to the various social phases of Highland
Park, is due to the management of the club's first president.
Although Mr. Shields has been numbered among the original
members of the Union, the Iroquois and the Wausaukee Clubs, and
the Sons of the American Revolution, and was for several years a
member of the University Club, all of Chicago, yet he is not very
much of a club man, preferring rather the attractions of his own
Breside, where, surrounded by his wife and nine children, he thinks
there is no club on earth half so attractive ; nor is there any hearth-
stone at which his friends or relatives will find a heartier welcome.

Great grandson of Thomas and Elizabeth Carruth

B., Feb. 8, 1819.
Leander James McCormick was brought up and educated in the
Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, where, at the age of twenty-six years,
he chose, as the companion of his life, one of its accomplished daugh-
ters. His health and physique are attributable to the salubrity of
the climate and the out-door life of his early days. Although he
removed to Chicago at the age of twenty- nine, his love for his
native State continued, and to secure relief from business cares he
often turned toward the associations of his youth, and sought
recreation amid its mountain scenery and health from its restor-
ative waters. He preserves the same quiet tastes which have led him
die

to prefer the familiar scenes so dear to his youth. He has trav-
eled extensively throughout Great Britain and Ireland, and on the
continent of Europe : the e£fect of this has been to broaden and
enlarge his views upon international affairs, as well as upon the
political situation of his own country, and to give him a great fund
of delightful remembrances of the galleries of art and monuments
of historical interest.
The life-work of Leander has been identified with the McCor-
mick Reaper. He inherited the inventive genius of his father,
Robert McCormick, and during his life was associated with him
in its development, in Virginia." Shortly after his death, in 1846,
the three brothers, Cyrus H., William S. and Leander J , perma-
nently established themselves in partnership in the city of Chicago,
for the manufacture and introduction of the Reaper into the broad
fields of the West, Leander assuming the management of the man-
ufacturing department — a position which he held over thirty years.
During, and previous to this time, he made many improvements of
vital importance, without which it could not have been a completed
machine, nor have become of world-wide fame. After the great fire
of 1871, whereby the Reaper Works and other properties were
destroyed, business suspended, and thousands of men thrown out of
employment, by his decision and energy the works were immediately
rebuilt, under his personal supervision and direction, according to
his own selection of site and architectural designs. In 1879, the
partnership was merged into a corporation, Leander retaining his
interest until August, 1889, when he disposed of his entire stock
to his nephew, Cyrus H. McCormick, and retired from business.
A firm believer in the great destiny of Chicago, he has become
one of the largest individual owners of centrally located business
property, and the attention to these buildings occupies his time, and
interests him in his later years.
Amid all the calamities, which have befallen Chicago, he, like

others, has suffered, especially in the great fire of 1871, when his
palatial residence, on the corner of Rush and Ohio streets, was
destroyed with all its contents, including pictures, other works of
art, and ancestral souvenirs, and his family forced to escape at an
early hour of the morning and take refuge in the West part of the
city, where they remained, at 515 West Adams street, until April
7, 1875, when they returned to the North side.
In 1874, he presented to the University of Virginia a fully
equipped Astronomical Observatory, including the largest refracting
telescope in the world, at the time of donation.
His latest work is here submitted : His deep interest in the
McCormick genealogy has led him to trace the lineage of his
ancestors from the siege of Londonderry, to those, who, before and
after the middle of the eighteenth century, established themselves
in the United States, to follow the various branches to the present
date, and to save the names of many, particularly of the past gener-
ation, from oblivion.
Henrietta, wife of Leander J. McCormick, and daughter of
John and Elizabeth McNutt Hamilton, was born in Rockbridge Co.,
May 25, 1822, amid the romantic associations of the beautiful
valley of Virginia.
The inspiration of her mountain home with its early opportunities
for education and development, physically, intellectually and spirit-
ually, were fitting preparations for the future which lay before her.
She was married at the parental homestead. Locust Hill, Oct. 22,
1845, ^'^^ three years later, with her husband and infant son,
Robert Hall, removed to Chicago, where her time has been
employed in attending to family, social and charitable duties, and
where she has made numerous charming friends and acquaint-
ances. She has traveled much in the United States and in for-
eign countries, and has had many opportunities of seeing and

A woman, eminent for her great strength of character and devo-
tion to duty in all the relations of life. The mother of a large
family, and a queen in that most beautiful of all realms, the Christian
home, over which she presided with a rare dignity, grace and gen-
tleness. If we search for the sources and springs of her life — the
secret of her strength of character and consistency of conduct — the
guide and constraint of her even tempered gentleness and goodness,
we find it all in her implicit faith in God. She knew whom she
believed — she loved the word of God. It was the spiritual food
upon which she daily and hourly fed. She loved the house of God
and the assemblages for worship. In no ostentatious way, but with
unfailing readiness, she exemplified the grace of Christian charity.
Her hand of help was extended with prompt and wise sympathy to
828

the needy and suffering. Her modesty of demeanor and her humble-
ness of spirit, together with her conscientious recognition of the
claims of home, prevented her from taking that prominent part in
the enterprises of public charity to which her position would entitle
her ; but her good deeds were none the less numerous though quietly
performed.
She married. May 8, 1845, Hugh Adams, son of James Adams,
who was born in Rockbridge County, Va., February 10, 1820, and
died in Chicago, 111., March 10, 18S0.
The Adams' were from England, originally, descendants of Dun-
can Adams, who lived in the reign of King Robert Bruce. They
were Presbyterians, and noted for their unswerving principles, both
in religion and in politics.
From both father and mother, Hugh Adams inherited those quali-
ties which made him at all times of his life a man highly honored,
both in business and social relations, and a very successful merchant.
The early years, after marriage, were spent in Kerr's Creek,
Rockbridge County, Va. In 1857 he removed to Chicago, and was
the head of the firm, McCormick, Adams & Co. This house
became one of the leading concerns in the great grain trade of the
West, and was justly regarded as one of the strongest bulwarks of
the business.
After the death of Hugh Adams, in 1880, the business descended
to Cyrus H. Adams, Hugh L. Adams and Edward S. Adams, under
the firm name of Cyrus H. Adams & Co.
Following the faith of his forefathers, Hugh Adams was a mem-
ber of the Fourth Presbyterian Church of Chicago, in whose work
he took a deep interest until his death.

Statement
Giving a Brief Account
of the
Hall, McChesney and McCormick Families.
Made about the Year 1882.
by
Mrs. Mary Caroline McCormick Shields.
888
McConnick Family,
In the year 1770, there came to this country, from the North of
Ireland, County Armagh, two families. Halls and McChesneys.
Of the McChesneys, there were James, Hugh, Robert, Susan and
Martha; of the Halls, Patrick, William and Jane.
They crossed the ocean in a sailing vessel. There were also sev-
eral cousins of the McChesney family in the party, by the name of
Patterson, one of whom, a young lady, died by the way, and was
buried at sea.
These, our ancestors and relations, were eleven weeks on the
ocean. Soon after landing, they found homes in the counties of
Rockbridge and Augusta, State of Virginia.
James McChesney married his cousin. Miss Patterson, before
leaving Ireland, and located about two miles west of Brownsburg,
Rockbridge Co., Va. His descendants still own the old homestead.
Hugh McChesney married Joanna Hanan, of Fredericksburg,
Va., and settled in Brownsburg.
Robert McChesney had married Jane Hall before leaving Ireland,
and he !)ought land and settled about six miles above Middlebrook,
in Augusta county. His descendants, until recently, owned this old
home of their fathers.
Martha McChesney never married.
Patrick tiall was engaged to be married, before leaving Ireland,
to Susan McChesney, and had given her a betrothal ring, inside of
which was engraved : " I have obtained whom God ordained."
This ring I had, and lost it in the Chicago fire of 1871.
Patrick Hall bought a farm in Augusta county, and was married,
in 1773, to Susan McChesney, by the Rev. John Brown, pastor of
New Providence Church. My grandfather Hall served in the Rev-
olutionary War, and was also a commissary in the war of 18 [2-14.
A paper, signed by Major Doak, giving him his commission for
services in 1S12, was burned in the Chicago fire of '71.
I have often heard my mother speak of conversations she had
886
GcNealogy.
with her parents regarding the privations they had to endure, and
how they economized during the wars. Everything advanced in
price, and all they could spare had to be given to support the army.
*\11 the men were in service, while the women and the servants,
cut the wheat with reap-hooks, and sowed flax, and the women
spun, wove and made up the cloth worn by the men, boys and
servants. They kept sheep, and carded, spun and wove, at home,
all the winter apparel. They wore cotton dresses, beautifully colored.
1 saw a piece of calico, which my grandmother had, which cost one
dollar a yard in Revolutionary times, and was a little heavier cloth
than we now buy for ten cents per yard.
Our great grandparents were well-to-do ; they brought their for-
tunes from Ireland, in linen, which they sold, and with the proceeds
bought land. One of my grandmother's wedding-dresses was a
lemon-colored satin, very heavy, with a white brocaded stripe in it.
The first children born to Patrick and Susan Hall, were twins,
and when they were eight days old, the Rev. John Brown was sent
for to baptize them. These children died in infancy.
The next child born was Patsy, who married her second cousin,
Thomas McChesney, and went to live in Washington county. South-
western Virginia She had no children. She was buried in Green
Spring Cemetery, six miles South of Abingdon, Washington county,
Virginia.
The fourth child, Mary Ann, was born June 24, 17S0.
Grandfather Ilall had three other children, Robert, William and
Joanna.
Robert died, a bachelor, in the winter of 1826. Joanna married
a Mr. Brown, and a year after was buried, with her babe, in Old
Providence grave-yard.
Uncle William Hall had a great desire to join the army in 1812.
His parents and family opposed it, but he was very determined, and
they finally yielded. He was under age when he joined the regular
886
McConnick Family.
army, and went to Norfolk. How long he was there is not
known, but, in the fall of 1814, grandfather had news that he was
sick, and he took a covered conveyance and brought him home. He
died soon after of yellow fever. My grandmother was soon pros-
trated with the fever. Father and mother went to wait on her ; she
lived but a few days, dying November 19, 18 14. Grandmother's
age was sixty-seven ; she was two years older than grandfather.
He was soon taken with the fever, and died November 23, 1814,
aged sixty -five years.
Dr. McChesney, nephew of my grandparents, was the attending
physician. A colored man belonging to my grandfather, died soon
after ; then a man belonging to father, took the fever and died, and
it was with difficulty that he could be buried, so great was the fear
of the disease. Brother Cyrus, then a boy five years of age, took
the fever. Father saw that all who had been treated in the past had
died, so he tried a different method, using a hot steam bath in which
were bitter herbs and whisky. This treatment was successful, and
no more cases occurred.
Grandfather and all the relatives who came over with him from
Ireland, were religious people, strict in their attendance on church, in
keeping family worship, in asking God's blessing at the table, and
these things were not neglected by the women when the men were
absent. The children were taught the catechism, and the Bible was
the book all read in school. They also committed to memory a great
many of the Psalms.
When our grand parents came to this country, they and their
friends, connected with New Providence Church, Rockbridge
County, Virginia.
At this time, the Psalms of David were used almost exclusively
in all the churches. After some years, there came to the church, a
minister who introduced Watts' hymns. Grandfather thought that
nothing should be sung in the worship of God but the Psalms of
387
Genealogy,
David, and, as soon as the hymn was given out, he picked up his hat
and left the church, and a number of .others followed him.
They immediately determined to build a church in which worship
should be to their minds, would be most acceptable to God, and
prove to the building up and edification of llis church. Grandfather
proposed to give the ground off one side of his farm, the timber
and stone also.
The church was built of limestone, and grandfather Hall was so
/.ealous on the subject, that, in addition to what he had given, he
boarded the workmen, part, if not all of the time that the church
was in process of building. It is still standing and in good condition,
being used for an academy for young ladies, while a short distance
from it is a new red brick church, which takes its place and- is called
the Associate Reformed Church.
All my father's children were baptized in Old Providence Church.
The small window, which may be seen at the left end of the
church, was placed there by him, and was directly opposite the pew
he and his family occupied.
Father's views becoming changed with regard to adhering exclu-
sively to David's Psalms, and not liking the minister then in charge,
he and my mother united with New Providence, ^\x^ miles distant,
of which Rev. James Morrison was pastor.
Grandfather Robert McCormick married Martha Sanderson, and
lived in Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, until after the birth of
^\^ children, George, William, James, Elizabeth and Martha. In
the year 1779, he sold his farm and removed to Rockbridge County,
Virginia. lie was for many years an elder in Old Providence
Church ; he was well instructed in the Scriptures, and tried to be
faithful in following the teachings of God's word, and was strict in
his observance of the Sabbath. The Bible was the chief book with
those old Scotch Irish Presbyterians, and their other books were
mostly religious.

McCormick Family,
Grandfather, on his arrival in Virginia, bought a farm of five
hundred acres, which had on it a large log house. In this house,
my father, Robert McCormick, Jr., was born, June 8, 1780.
His eldest brother, George McCormick, married Jane Steele, and
moved to Henderson county, Kentucky.
Uncle James McCormick married Irene Rodgers, whose family
lived near New Providence Church, and they moved to Gallipolis,
Ohio.
Uncle William McCormick married Mary Steele, and lived near
my father.
Aimt Elizabeth married Hugh Gibson, and moved to Kentucky.
Aunt Martha married Edward Bryant, and soon aftewards died. .
Robert McCormick, my father, was married, February 11, 1S08,
to Mary Ann Hall, who was very near his own age, and also the
same height, ?is^ feet, eight inches.
Grandfather continued to live with them, on the old homestead,
until his decease, October 12, 1818, when eighty-one years of age.
The property then became my father's, on condition of his paying
a certain sum to the other heirs. In this old house there were born
to Robert McCormick and Mary, his wife, eight children, of whom
I am the fifth.
With good health, both full of energy and ambition, my parents
started in their married life. The first misfortune that came to them,
was a few years after marriage, the burning of a large barn, (which
had been finished just in time to store away the year's crop), with
all the wheat and other grains and hay needed for their stock ; two
horses were also burned in it. Shortly after this, in 1822, father built
a brick house on his farm, to which he gave the name of Walnut
Grove. I was, at that time, a child between five and six years of
age, but though so young I can well remember how happy my
mother was in making things for and furnishing her new house.
She was a devoted, self-sacrificing mother, and my father a man of
889
Genealogy.
unswerving integrity of character ; this was his reputation wherever
he was known.
After the improvement of Walnut Grove, father bought a farm
about a mile and a half east of his home- place, on which was a saw-
mill, where he spent much of his time experimenting in its working.
His next investment was the purchase of another farm about nine
miles south of Walnut Grove, on which there was also a saw-mill,
and this farm father prized, as well as the other, on account of the
South River running through it; this would enable the owner to
have any kind of manufacturing establishment-- the motive power
abundant and inexpensive.
Father and mother were social and hospitable in their disposition,
and their house was a place where friends, relatives and strangers
were ever welcome.
Our parents had their losses and disappointments in various ways,
but until June, 1826, father, mother and children, were all spared to
be happy together. Dysentery prevailed in the neighborhood in the
spring of 1826, of which, several children had died. Brother Robert
was taken with this much dreaded malady, and lingered in great
suffering about two weeks. Then sister Susan was taken ill with
the same disease, Thursday morning, June 25 ; the following Sab-
bath, June 28, at 4 p. m., Susan died. She was buried, Monday,
June 29, at noon, and that evening, about eight o'clock, V)rother
Robert died. The death of these children was the greatest sorrow
that had ever come to my parents. Robert Hall was their second
child, and was about sixteen years of age. Sister Susan was the
third child, and at her death, nearly thirteen years old. Beautiful, as
all who knew her testified, and bright and intelligent beyond her
years.
In the winter of 1845-1846, father took a severe cold, caused by
hurrying out of bed in the night, half dressed, to assist in putting
out a fire which had started in one of his shops. In March, he again
340
McCormick Family,
contracted a severe chill, but contined to attend to business, his habits
of industry being such that, although mother often begged him to
take life more easily and to rest, he still kept up his interest in the
works. Early in May, however, he gave up all further attention to
business, and from that time was under the care of his physicians.
We secured the best medical skill that could be had, but his stomach,
liver and lungs, were all so involved, that all his devoted wife and
children could do was of no avail, and after great suffering, he died
on July 4, 1846, about nine o'clock in the morning, aged sixty -six
years and twenty-six days.
His funeral sermon was preached by Rev. James Morrison, our
pastor. His text was, " The righteous hath hope in his death." A
little notice in our country paper read : " Died in the lower end of
Rockbridge county, at 9 A. m., the 4th of July, Robert McCormick,
a gentleman of great worth and respectability, and an honest man."
Father was a humble- minded Christian — a modest and rather diffi-
dent man. He had much in his disposition and character worthy of
all praise and imitation, yet he neither sought nor desired the praise
of the world.
In a conversation my mother had with Mr. Morrison, after fath-
er's death, our pastor said father was a man of remarkable mind,
and that from him he had gotten many beautiful and original
thoughts on the Bible.
In a letter from cousin William S. McCormick, of Patterson,
Wayne County, Missouri* he said father was " the greatest natural
genius he ever saw — the greatest natural mechanic — that he never
failed to accomplish anything he undertook."

Rev. Samuel Rutherford Houston, D. D.
848
McCormtck Family.
New Providence Church, near Brownsburg, Rockbridge County,
Virginia, was organized in 1746.
Quoting from a letter of Samuel Houston, written about 1820, to
Rev. James Morrison, then pastor of the church, the former speaks
of his grandfather, John Houston, one of the Hrst elders, and says :
" Nothing could be done in the way of building until the question
of location should be settled. Several ineffectual meetings were
held ; many became alarmed lest it should end like the Tower of
Babel. Another meeting was called, which my grandfather attended,
and he employed such conciliatory arguments as brought the stiff to
yield, and to agree to the site, where the church now stands. After
the agreement, it was proposed to give the church a name. My
aged ancestor said : ' Neighbors, we have heretofore had unpleas-
ant and fruitless meetings, but to-day we have had an agreeable
and successful one. We are indebted to Divine Providence for it.
Let us call the church. Providence.' To this all assented."
The church was, shortly after, erected, and in 1 753, its first pastor.
Rev. John Brown, was called.
" He continued his labors there for more than forty years ; then
removed to Kentucky. When New Providence Church was under
his pastoral care, its territory embraced Rockbridge and Augusta
counties.
Rev. Samuel Brown succeeded Rev. John Brown. Though they
bore the same surname, they were not related. Rev. Samuel Brown
died October 13, 1818.
Rev. James Morrison married Frances, daughter of Rev. Samuel
Brown, and was called to succeed the latter. He continued to be
pastor until his health failed, and was over New Providence Church
nearly forty years, so that three pastors only occupied the pulpit for
over one hundred years."

" Her mother died, in 18 16, leaving upon her the care of seven
children, her brothers and sisters, all younger than herself, and she
but fourteen years of age. Her tender and excellent care of them
won for her the esteem of all who knew her. She was for more
than half a century a member of the Green Spring Presbyterian
Church. Her uniform cheerfulness and kindness made her society
attractive to all, and but few Christian women have lived to a better
purpose for the honor of Christ and the benefit of her friends, and
none were more uniformly beloved by a large circle of relatives and
other friends."

Robert McChesney was six feet two inches in height, of a well
knit frame, and capable of great endurance.
He had a good business education and qualifications. He entered
the Confederate army on the Brst call for troops, as First Lieutenant
of cavalry, and served under General Garnet in West Virginia,
taking an active part in the campaign until June 29, 1861, when he
fell in a skirmish, near Rowlesburg, West Virginia. He was the
first man killed in the war from Rockbridge County, Virginia, and
died lamented and admired by his friends and honored by his foes, as
the following letter, written by Colonel Irvine, who had command of
the troops by whom he was killed, will attest.
The letter also shows Colonel Irvine to have been a brave man,
for none but a brave man could deal so fairly and honorably with an
enemy who had fallen in battle. The letter reads thus :

Genealogy.
b. John McChesney.
Son of Robert McChesney.
Dr. John McChesney was born at Greenwood, the McChesney
homestead, in Augusta County, Virginia, on Sept. 3, 1785.
His ancestors were of the vigorous, earnest, truth-loving and God-
fearing people, the Scotch- Irish, who came from the North of Ire-
land, and who formed part of the first settlers of the upper valley
of Virginia.
Dr. McChesney, after spending a long and useful life, the greater
part in the home of his youth, practicing medicine in a large part of
three counties, near the juncture of which was his home, fell asleep,
May 19, 1S77, in the ninety-second year of his age.
His early life antedates railroads, and, largely, stage coaches also,
and in his day it was no light matter to go far from home, and to
secure an education, such as a profession requires. Fortunately, for
him, there was a school of high grade not many miles from his
father's home, in Lexington, Virginia, " Washington College," then
in its infancy, now "Washington and Lee University." Here he
received his classical training. After this, he went to North Caro-
lina, taught school, and began the study of medicine. Returning
home, he continued his studies, preparatory for lectures, in the office
of Dr. Boise, in Staunton, Virginia; then entered the University of
Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, where he graduated in the spring of
1816. His return home from the University, when so few stage
routes were to be had, was full of incident, showing the force of
his character. Before locating, he traveled, on horseback, through
several of the southern and southwestern States, in search of a
proper place, and concluded to locate in North Carolina.
Returning home to make his final arrangements, a providential
circumstance located him for life in the home of his birth. A certain
41fi
!
McCormick Family,
epidemic was prevailing in the neighborhood of his home at the
time ; his medical skill was sought, and he was eminently successful
in a number of cases, and in consequence, many of the people and
his friends besought him to change his plans and locate in their midst,
which he did, and made Greenwood, his father's house, his home.
On March 21, i8iS, he married Jane E. T. Steel, of Rockbridge
County, whose family was among the prominent citizens of that
county.
He had a large family of nine children, and became known, far
and wide, as a skilful physician and a genial, noble-hearted man.
He was not only skilful in his profession, he was charitable in his
life, modest and unassuming in his manners, studiedly temperate in
his habits, and was in every sense a man of honor and integrity. He
was not capable of doing a known wrong or mean act, and would
at all times have shrunk from doing anything that would have
brought disgrace upon the name of McChesney, which he prized so
highly.
Dr. McChesney's parents were members of the Old Providence
Church in Rockbridge County, Va. He, in 1S33, united with the
New Providence Church, of which his wife was a member, and
remained a consistent member to the time of his death. Yet he had
always a warm side for Old Providence, and expressed it. And
there now, in its venerable graveyard, rest his ashes, with those of
his beloved wife and some of his children, waiting the resurrection
of the last day.

Theological Seminary at the same place, and graduated in 1850. He

Reformed Church for forty-two years, which church has greatly
prospered under his ministry.
In 1853, the title of A. M. was conferred upon him by his Alma
Mater, and in 1870 the Degree of Doctor of Divinity by Franklin
and Marshall College, at Lancaster, Pa., of which institution he has
been a trustee and chairman of its Committee of Instruction for
