Genealogy : a journal of American ancestry

This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

Usage guidelines

Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.

We also ask that you:

+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.

+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.

+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.

+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

About Google Book Search

VIRGINIA HARRISON RECORDS

(From tbe Adjutant Genflral)

"The records of this office show that one Benjamin
Harrison served in the Revolutionary War as a captain
in the Thirteenth Virginia Regiment of Foot, commanded
by Colonel William Russell (known also as the Ninth
Virginia Regiment). He is reported as having been com-
missioned 16 December, 1776, and his name appears on
the company rolls to include the roll dated 8 June, 1779,
which latter roll reports him 'on furlough.'

"The records also show that one Henry Harrison,
rank not stated, served in said war as a member of Cap-
tain John Chilton's Company, Third Virginia Regiment,
commanded by Colonel Thomas Marshall. His name is
first borne on the company pay roll covering the period
from 7 October to 7 December, 1 776, and it is last borne
on the company pay roll for May, 1777. Neither the
date on which he entered the service nor the date on
which his service ended has been found of record."

ROTAL ANCESTRY

The Scotch and French kings at one time were closely
allied. Consequently genealogists frequently find that a
family supposed to be Scotch is really French, if it is
traced back to its royal ancestor. There is one family
of Carpenters from a French royal line, although most of
the Carpenters, like the Meigs, Baxters, and Lindseys,
are descended from David I. of Scotland. The Clai-
bournes of Virginia are descendants of Malcolm II., as
are also the Chaunceys, while the descendants of Robert
Bruce are found under many names.

DODGE FAMILY RECORDS

Tabitha Dodge, of Deerfield, Mass., in 1772 married
Benjamin Dodge, of Colchester. Tabitha was daughter
of John, whose brother was no doubt Samuel, the father
of Benjamin. In baptisms of the Second Church, of
New London, Conn., appear the names of Israel, John,
Thomas, William and Samuel Dodge baptized ^ adults
1722. The records of New London were burned 1781.
By land deeds the above adults are shown to have been
the sons of Israel and grandsons of Tristram, of Block
Island. Israel Dodge, of Montville, Conn., 1719, with
wife Hannah, gave his son John a part of land which,
in 1707, he bought of Samuel Rogers. In 1725 John sold
land to his brother Israel. Israel, Sr., gave land to his
sons William and Samuel, part of which they sold in
1725 to their brother Israel. In 1722 Israel, Sr., gave
land in Montville to son Thomas, near John's portion.
Deed made in Norwich. Samuel was given the home-
stead. Samuel Dodge, of New London, married, Janu-
ary, 1734, Sarah Chapman, of Colchester. Came to
Deerfield 1770-1771, where they died.

married in England, having issue Anthony, whose
daughter Hannah married Sir Thomas Leigh of County
Kent, the descendants of that name and of the additional
highly respectable names of Bennet and Spencer being
now quite numerous. Died prior to 8 Nov., 1682.

THE MOREHOUSE FAMILY

The family name originated in North England,
where its interesting history can be traced back for over
five hundred years. The name has been variously
spelled, viz: Morehouse, Moorehouse, Moorhous, Mor-
hous, Mourhous, etc., but all having the same original
signification, ** House on the Moor." Thomas More-
house, the first immigrant ancestor to this country, was
at Wethersfield, Conn., as early as 1640 and seems to
have been the head of nearly all the Morehouses in
America. In 1641, he removed to Stamford, Oonn., and
was one of the original thirty white settlers of that place
who purchased the site from the Indians for one hun-
dred bushels of com. In 1653 he settled at Fairfield,
Conn., and died at that place in 1658, leaving widow
Isabel and children Hannah 2, Samuel 2 who had five
sons, Thomas 2, Mary 2, Jonathan 2, and John 2 (who
was an Ensign in King Philip's War, 1676, and settled
in Southampton, Long Island, where he died in 1701.)

THE NINE PARTNERS

The Great or Lower Nine Partners Patent was
granted 27 May, 1697, to Caleb Heatheote, Augustine
Graham, James Bmott, Henry Filkins, David Jami-
son, flendrick Ten Eyek, John Evertson, William Creed,
and Jarvis Marshall, and consisted of a tract of land
some eight or ten miles in width, extending from the
Hudson River east to the Oblong Patent, near the Con-
necticut line. This patent covered approximately Jthe
territory included in the present towns of Clinton, Pleas-
ant Valley, Washington, Stanford, the southerly part
of Hyde Park, and parts of Amenia and Northeast. The
Little Nine Partners Patent was granted 10 April, 1706,
to Sampson Broughton, Rip Van Dam, Thomas Wen-
ham, Roger Mompesson, Peter Pauconier, Augustine
•Graham, Richard Sackett and Robert Lurting. These
eight patentees soon after sold a one-ninth interest to
George Clark, making the **Nine Partners." This pat-
ent covered the territory just north of the Great Nine
Partners Patent, and embraced approximately the pres-
ent towns of Milan and Pine Plains, and a portion of
the town of Northeast. Because of improper descrip-
tions, or imperfect surveying, the two patents lapped
slightly, forming a wedge-shaped tract of land, generally
referred to as **The Gore," which was disputed terri-
tory for many years. Neither Crum Elbow precinct
nor Pleasant Valley were ever in the territory granted
to the Little Nine Partners.

THE MOORE FAMILY OF SOUTH CAROLINA

John Moore, with his wife, Mary Beall of Mary-
land, and their four sons, John, Samuel, William and
Nathan, left York County, Pennsylvania, about the year
1760 and emigrated to York County, S. C. They set-
tled in Bethesda Township. Mary Beall, the wife of
John Moore, died, and her body was taken back to Mary-
land for burial. John Moore, and his four sons were
actively engaged in the War of the Revolution. A jour-
nal which published the proceedings of a fourth of July
celebration of Hick's Depot, at Brattonsville, York, Co.,
S. C, July 12, 1839, published by request of the Com-
mittee of Arrangements, the following: The orator of
the day was Col. W. C. Beaty. ** Toasts in memory of
John Moore, Sr., and his four sons, John, Samuel, Wil-
liam and Nathan. ^' About these men, their patriotism
there can be no doubt, there can be no mistake. They
were full blooded, whole souled Whigs. At this battle
of Hocks Defeat, John Moore, Sr., was confined as a
prisoner in the Comcrib, situated directly between the
contending armies. He was there exposed to danger
and death, but he well knew that his four gallant sons
were fighting for his rescue, and he patiently awaited
coming eventa His son, John Moore, Jr., gallantly ad-
vanced amidst a shower of bullets, and gave liberty to
his father and other captives. No five men were of more
service to their country than these. They loved her well,
they fought gallantly and bravely in defense of her
liberty and rights.'* .^

THE HACKETT FAMILY

The Hacketts are of Danish origin and had lands
at Taney, near Dublin, Ireland, before the Norman in-
vasion. One branch went to Connacht, where the head
of the hope became known as '^The Mac Hackett," but
the sixteenth century saw the dispossession of the bearer
of the title. Another branch settled at Hackettstown,
and several battles are recorded between them and the
natives in the Friar Clyn's memoirs, which were written
in Latin, in Kilkenny in the fourteenth century. Mem-
bers of this clan acquired much territory in Tipperary.
The famous architect bishop, David of Ossory, who died
in 1471, was one of them. They had three hades' heads
on their coat of arms, as may be seen on some of the
tombs on the Rock of Cashel. Owing to the Jacobite
leanings of the family, James and Dominick are men-
tioned in King James' army list. They lost all their
town lands on the accession of William II. Some went
to Cork, where they became leading burgessed.

ADAM SCOTT OF MISSOURI

William Scott bom in Scotland, fled to Ireland and
then to America on account of religious persecution
about 1750. He was accompanied by his wife, Margaret
(** Peggy") Calhoun or Cahoon and several children
among which were Robert, William, John, Adam and
Patrick. Ruhamah - Elizabeth died and was buried at
sea. The family settled in Pennsylvania. The father
William was later drowned while crossing a river and the
lad Adam was apprenticed to a tailor to learn the trade.
He enlisted in the Revolutionary War from Cumberland
County, Penn., and served under Washington during
the entire war ,part of the time as Lieutenant. Family
tradition has it that he spent the terrible winter at Val-
ley Forge with Washington, crossing the Delaware with
him and fighting in the battle of Brandywine and others
of that period.

After the close of the war in 1786 Adam married
Elizabeth Thornton. About this time he removed to
Kentucky. Adam and Elizabeth lived in Barren Coun-
ty, Kentucky, for a time at least and went to Cooper
County, Missouri, about 1819, with a large family of
children and with them the Anderson family. The rec-
ords at Washington show a cash grant of land to Adam
Scott, March 20th, 1819, in Cooper County.

The son, James Scott, married Jane Anderson soon
after their arrival from Kentucky. Both are buried in
Cooper County. Adam Calhoun Scott bom 1746, died
1831. Elizabeth Thornton Scott born 1761, died 1852.

DARBY FAMILY OF SOUTH CAROLINA

The Darby family in South Carolina apparently
had its origin with Captain Michael Darby who was in
St. Thomas Parish as early as 1710. Prom him de-
scended Jacob Darby, who was a private in Capt. Moses
Pearson's Company, 1780 to 1782, and is mentioned in
the South Carolina records- He was the father of Asa
Darby and the grandfather of Asa Darby, bom 1802.
Asa (2) Darby died in Newbury Co., S. C, in 1859.
In 1860 his cousin, Asa L. Darby, in a sworn statement
said: **I was born 28 Feb, 1808, and removed to Clay
Co., Ky., in 1830."

Among the grandchildren of* Asa Darby bom 1802,
was Mary Ellen Darby, bom 23 Sept., 1859, who mar-
ried John R. Marchand.

Among the Darby marriages on record in South
Carolina are the following*

Michael Darby and Mary Wamock, 21 May, 1717,
St Thomas Parish.

Mary Darby and Elias Bonneau, 30 Oct., 1746, St.
Thomas Parish.

James Darby and Margaret Elliott, 4 May, 1773,
Charleston.

William Darby and Margaret Evans, 18 Aug., 1797,
Charleston.

Robert Darby and Rebecca Sinkler, 23 Oct-, 1800,
Charleston.

The children of Captain Michael Darby and Mary
Warnock born in St. Thomas Parish, were:

Hannah b. 21 Sept., 1718.

Joseph b. 8 Dec , 1722.

Mary b. 15 Nov., 1725.

It is quite evident that Michael married three times,
as the following records from St. Thomas Parish will
show :

Michael Darby and wife Judith: had Judith b.
1 Nov , 1734.

In the death records we find the following:

3 Mch. 1732, Elizabeth, wife of Capt. Michael Darby.

5 Nov., 1734, Judith, wife of Capt. Michael Darby.

Feb 1739, Captain Michael Darby.

GENEALOGY OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN

L:

In the quaint village of Hingham, in County Nor-
folk, England, the Lincolns were tradespeople as early
as the 15th century.

2.
Samuel Lincoln, of Norfolk Co., came to New Eng-
land in 1637 at the age of IR He settled in Hinghara,
Mass., one of the early and most picturesque towns in
the colony.

3.
Mordecai Lincoln, the fourth son of Samuel, was
bom in Hingham, 15 June, 1657. He married Sarah
Jones, in Hull, Mass., and removed to Scituate, another
quaint old town in 1704.

4.
The first son, Mordecai Lincoln, Jr., bom 24 Apl.,
1686, with hiA younger brother Abraham, removed to
Freehold, Monmouth Co., N. J. Abraham was the vil-
lage blacksmith.

5.
In Freehold, N. J., Mordecai married in 1710 Han-
nah Salter, daughter of Richard Salter, one of the lead-
Berks Co., Pa.
Berks Co., Pa., 1736.

6.
John Lincoln, eldest son of Mordecai, Jr., in 1758
removed to Augusta Co., Va. Here in the wilderness
he built one of the first log cabins. He had five sons,
among them Abraham.

7.
Abraham, the second of the name, son of John, mar-
ried Mary Shipley^ who came from North Carolina; and
they went to live on a farm in Tennessee in the Wau-
tauga Valley.

8.

There is no more historic spot in America than the
Wautauga Valley. Here the Wautauga Association set
up the first free and independent government upon the
continent. Here the King's Mountain boys gathered
from the valleys and hills to go and fight one of the de-
cisive battles of the American Revolution.

9.

At Wautauga, Thomas Lincoln, the father of Abra-
ham, was bom. He grew to be a tall and stalwart pio-
neer and an expert hunter. While a lad he hired him-
self to his uncle, Isaac Lincoln, living on Wautauga
creek.

10.

In 1782 Abraham and his son Thomas, grandfather
and father of the President, moved in covered wagons
lo Kentucky.

11.

They entered a tract of 400 acres of land on Lick-
ing creek, under a government land-warrant, and built
a log cabin near Port Beargrass, on the site now occu-
pied by the city of Louisville. In the second year of
this settlement Abraham Lincoln, while at work in his
field, was slain by an Indian from an ambush.

12.

Thomas Lincoln irarried Nancy Hanks, 23 Septem-
ber, 1806, and settled near Springfield, Ky. They had
three children: Sarah, Abraham and Thomas. Sarah
married Aaron Grigsby and died in middle life. Thom-
as, who was two years younger than Abraham, died in
infancy.

13.

In 1816 the Lincoln family moved to Spencer Coun-
ty, Ind., where they built and lived in a log cabin, where
Mrs. Lincoln died October 5, 1818, at the age of thir'y-

14.
After the death of Nancy Hanks, the father of
Abraham Lincoln sought out an early love, Sarah Bush
Johnstone, who wag still living in Kentucky, a widow,
with three children, and for that time and region in
very good circumstances.

15.

Thomas Lincoln began his courtship in this char-
acteristic fashiim:

**Well, Mis' Johnstonci I have no wife, and you
have no husband. I came on purpose to marry you. I
knowed you from a gal, and you biowed me from a boy.
I have no time to lose, and if you are willing, let it be
done straight off."

16.

The following day they were married, and started
for his home in Indiana, with a four-horse wagon con-
taining her property. This wedding journey to his dis-
tant cabin occupied several days.

17.

Sarah Bush, the stepmother of Abraham Lincoln,
was bom in Kentucky about 1785. Little is known of
her early life. Though entirely without education, she
was a woman of strong character, and intelligence. She
was blessed with sterling good sense in an uncommon
degree.

18.

At once a strong friendship sprang up between her
and the little Abe, w)io was ignorant, but loving and
sweet-tempered. Years only deepened their regard. In
after years Abe called her his ''angel of a mother'' and
said she was the first person to make him feel like a
human being. She died 10 April, 1869.

19.

The family moved once more in 1830, this time to
Illinois, where they built another log cabin, near Decatur,
Macon Co. After assisting his father to build the cabin,
split rails and fence and plough fifteen acres of land,
Abraham Lincoln struck out for himself, hiring himself
to any who needed manual labor. His father died in
1851.

20.

In the spring of 1833, Lincoln was appointed Post-
master at New Salem, 111., and held the office for three
years. Its emoluments were slender and its duties light.
The mails were so scanty that he was said to carry them
in his hat, and he is also reported to have read every
newspaper that arrived.

21.

Mary Todd Lincoln, the wife of the President, was
bom in Lexington, Ey., 12 Dec., 1818. Her father,
Robert S. Todd, waa a Kentucky pioneer.

22.

When Mary Todd was twenty-one she visited a mat
ried sister in Springfield, 111, and there met Abraham
Lincoln, a rising young lawyer. They were married
4 Nov., 1842.

23.

The lean, lank figure of Mr. Lincoln is familiar to
everyone. When he was elected President he was smooth
shaven and had never grown a beard.

24.

When the President-elect passed through Roches-
ter, N. Y., in February, 1861, en route to Washing-
ton, a little girl remarked to him: **Mr. Lincoln,
your face would not seem so long, and you would look
better if you wore whiskers.'' The President lau>?hed,
thanked the young miss, and went his way. Thereafter
he let his beard grow.

THE SAGAMORE OF SACO

The name of Bonython is now extinct in New Eng-
land. Capt. Richard Bonython settled in Saco, Maine,
in 1629. His son, John, a man of ill-temper and bad
habits, was known as the Sagamore of Saco and on his
tomb was written the couplet, which represents John
going to the evil spirit of the Indians.

**Here lies Bonjrthon, the Sagamore of Saco:
He lived a rogue, and died a knave and went to
Hobomocko."

OUR EARLY SETTLERS

Many of the early settlers who were registered on
"ho early colonial records as weavers, blacksmiths, tailors
and similar trades, in reali^v were of much higher de-
scent than some of those who simply wrote the word
** Gentleman" after their names. The old artisans'
•'uilds of Europe and England were of anything but
plebeian origin and had the closest relations wi*h the
Irghest orders of chivalry.

THE MASSACRE OF WYOMING

Col. John Butler, a tory, was the chief figure in the
Massacre of Wyoming in 1778, for which Brant, the
Indian, has been unjustly branded with infamy. Butler
ordered a woman and child to be killed, but Brant pro-
tested and saved their lives, and thus the Indian was
the man of humanity and the white man was the savage.

WIT IN A WILL

Mistress Katherine Roundell in her will dated 1522,
wrote in a humorous vein. *'I give to my son Thomas,
half a mare, half a saddle and half a cart wheel.' ' Which
would be slow going for Thomas.

THE McDonalds of south Carolina

The McDonalds of South Carolina, like those of
Virginia and North Carolina, come from the Highlands
of Scotland, and descend from Hugh McDonald, brother
of Ivan 1, King of the Isles. The present family in
South Carolina came from County Inverness. Two
families settled in Cheraw prior to the Revolutionary
War.

The earliest settler of whom there is a record was
Daniel McDonald bom in Scotland 1723, and who died
in Lancaster, S. Carolina in 1797. In 1745, he married
Rebecca Middleton, and had numerous children among
them John ^d Mary. Mary married George Wade,
who was a brave soldier and was wounded at the Battle
of Savannah. Daniel McDonald, although an old man,
served two years in the South Carolina militia, in the
defense of his state.

Joiin McDonald was a private serving from 1777 to
1782 and is mentioned in Bishop Gregg's ** History of
Old Cheiaw.'' He married Elizabeth, daughter of
George Inglis or English, who on 30 April, 1759, married
Claudia Elliott at Stone, S. Carolina. His son John
is buried in St. Luke's Churchyard, Lee Co., S. Caro*
lina.

Alexander McDonald, also served in the Revolution
and was taken as a prisoner of war, to Salisbury, North
Carolina. His son Alexander McDonald married 5 Sept.
1818, Mary M. Oliver and removed to Georgia.

Another member of the family, Charles James Mc
Donald bom in Charlestown, S. Carolina, 9 July 1793,
removed with his parents to Hancock Co., Ga., graduat-
ed at the S. Carolina College at Columbia in 1816,
studied law under Noel Crawford, and was elected Gov-
ernor of Georgia and served his full term of four years.

Another noted McDonald who died in South Caro-
lina in 1796 was William who was a Lieut. Colonel in
Gen. Francis Marion's brigade in 1782. He was born
in Scotland in 1720. He married in 1761 Martha
Richardson, whose father Richard Richardson, bom in
1705, although an old man in 1776, was at the battle of

Port Moultrie and was taken prisoner at Charleston.
William McDonald Jr., bom in 1773, died 1818, married
Martha Conturier ; their daughter Martha married John
Gamble Davis.

land at that time, his son assumed the name of Broad-
head, that of a great friend and neighbor, who, dying

erty in Yorkshire. It was not until Theodore Broadhead,

BROWN : — Origin of the name Brown : This is a color
name of Norman origin, and indicates the dark com-
plexion of the original bearer. Hughes is related to
Brown and White. Brown means more than the color,
it indicates how the color is produced, fire and burn,
burned by fire, fiery, impetuous, burning for the fight.
It is also supposed to indicate marked or prominent eye-
brows that give power and dignity to the countenance.
As a baptismal name, both on the German and Scan-
dinavian side, it is quite common and of very honorable
origin. The Scandinavian name seems to be derived
from a title of Odin. One of the ancient Scandinavian
Browns was sumamed **The White," showing clearly

that it was not from the complexion, unless indeed he
was a whity-brown. As for the antiquity of the name
in England, the first Brown came over with Hengisi
and Horsa in 449, and the second with Hastings in 893.
One William Brown was a Burgess for Derby in 1298.
There are only five surnames of England and Wales
more common than Brown. There are 571 persons by
the name of Brown in the general index of the New
England Historical and Oenealogical Register, that
number, as to the names herein considered, being ex-
ceeded only by about 1200 for Smith and by about 450
for White. There are one hundred and thirty-two Brit-
ish crests for the name Brown, two hundred and twenty-

limited means. George Keats died in 1842, much hon-
ored by his fellow-citizens. The old stone house in
which he lived in Louisville is still standing on Walnut
street, between Third and Fourth streets — ^it is now
used as an Elks' Club. George had one daughter, Emma,
who married Major Philip Speed, of the Federal army.
Their descendants are still living in Louisville, under
the name of Speed, Tuley and MacDonald. Another
descendant of George Keats, Emma Keats Sampson,
lives in Richmond, Ky., and is a writer of some renown
in that part of the country. The poetic gift of Keats
does not seem to have been inherited by any of his
nephews or nieces or their descendants, but they seem
all of them to have been substantial people. In Louis-
ville one avenue has been named after Keats, and still
another avenue is named after the Speeds.

WOOD :— The earliest settlers of Titusville, in Frank-
lin Co., N. Y., were three brothers named Wood, Enos,
Nathan and John, coming from Vermt-nt, in 1799.
Nathan Wood built the first saw mill in the county in
1804.

WOOD :— The Coat of Arms was granted to the Wood
family in 1574. The field is supposed to be sable or
black, on which three gold oak trees are standing. The
chevron passing up and down between the trees is also
gold, on it are three martlets. On the top of the shield
is a helmet, an emblem of gentility, and on the helmet
is a crest-wreath, and on the crest-wreath is the crest,
which is an arm, supposed to be clothed with green
leaves. The hand holds three spears. The Motto is
**Forti8 in procella,*' meaning ** Brave or Strong in
storm.*' Altogether it is a very appropriate design for
a gentleman .bearing the name of Wood. For it speaks
of woods and birds and fields and green leaves and hunt-
ing spears.

YOUNGS:— The Youngs family of Southold, L. I., is

claimed by the historian of the family, Selah Youngs,
Jr., in his otherwise careful ** History of the Youngs
Family,'' published in New York in 1907. The first
known ancestor of the Southold family is the Eev. Chris-
topher Yonges, supposed to have been bom about 1545,
who died at Southwold, Suffolk, Eng., June 14, 1626,
and was buried two days later in the chancel of the

NATHAN HALL OF VIRGINIA

(U. 8. Pension Beoord)

Nathan Hall of Virginia, bom about 1747, in Hanover
Co., Va. Removed to Albemarle Co. before the War.
Applied for pension Oct 1, 1832. Hall was drafted three
times. Twice he procured a substitute (during 1780, he
thinks), and in 1781 he marched from Albemarle under
Col. Reuben Ldndsey, and joined the army imder Gen-
eral Lafayette at Richmond. During his first month's
service he participated in what was commonly called
the Wild Gk)ose Chase, which was after the march throufl^
Hanover Co. to Fredericksburg, and through Louisa
Co., and to the three notched road to Mychimk Creek.
He was then sent to Albemarle Barracks, where he served
as shoemaker for the troops for six months. The pris-
oners from Burgoyne's army had been removed over
the mountains and a number of tailors, shoemakers, sad-
dlers, etc., were employed at the Barracks, on work
for the American army. He recalls the names of Gap-
tains Tibbs and John Pe3rton, Qeneral Thomas Nelson,
and (he thinks) Capt. Thomas Miller.

Robert Lindsey certifies that Nathan Hall, Sr., lived
with him as miller for 5 years. *'I do believe there does
not exist a more honest, just man in the State." . • .
''there are few men more to be depended on as to what
he may say or make oath to."

W. T. Alligree relates recommending Hall to Rev.
John B. Magruder as a keeper of his grist mill, and re-
ceiving the minister's thanks a year or more later for
sending him so honest and good a man.

Rev. Thornton Rogers, Abraham Hawley who had
known Hall for 16 years, and Charles Huckstep who
had known Hall for SO years, testify in his behalf.

BRAHHALL FAMILY

The genealogy of the Bramhall Family, with some ac-
count of the history of the family and of Bramhall Hall
in East Cheshire, England, upon which Judge Charles
H. Bramhall, of Columbia county, N. Y., and his sons,
William L. and Frank J., were at work for some twenty
years, is finally ready, after all the compilers have passed
away. The Bramhalls (Bramall, Bromale, etc.) are
traced through Domesday Book to the time of Edward
the Confessor (1042-1066). The Bramhall estates went
to the Davenport family by the marriage of Alice, daugh-
ter of Sir Geoffry de Bromale, to John de Davenport of
Weltrough in 1379.

The male line entitled to bear arms haying become ex-
tinct, they were regranted, in the last year but one of
Elizabeth, 1602, to John Bramhall, Alderman, of Pon-
tefract, Yorkshire, ^^ sable, a lion rampant or; crest, a
lion passant or-" In 1628, under Charles I., the arms
were regranted to the Rev. John Bramhall, Dean of
Ripon, son of Peter Bramhall and grandson of the Al-
derman, above, ** descended from the ancient family of
Bramhall, of BramhaU, county Cheshire. ' ' He was chap-
lain to Wentworth (later Earl of Stratford), and was
made successively Bishop of Derry and Archbishop of
Armagh and Primate of All Ireland. He was also speak-
er of the Irish House of Lords. He married, in York-
shire, a widow, EUinor Halley, and upon his death, 25
June, 1663, left four children: Sir Thomas Bramhall,
Bart., who married a daughter of Sir Paul Davys and
died without issue; Isabella, who married Sir James
Graham, son of William, Earl of Monteith, and whose
daughter Ellinor married Sir Arthur Rawdon of Moira ;
Jane, who married Alderman Toxteith of Drogheda;
and Anne, who married Standish Hartstonge, one of the
barons of the exchequer. Bramhall Hall, of which sev-
eral views are given in the Genealogy, is described on

competent authority as the finest example remaining of
the Elizabethan timber and mortar or ''magpie" archi-
tecture in England. Earwaker and Ormerod, in their
histories of Cheshire, and Thomas Nash, in bis ''Man-
sions of England," sustain this view.

The Bramhalls of America are traced directly to
James Bramhall, B. N., and his wife, Lady Florence
Temple. James was a son of Cornelius Bramhall of
Canterbury. Three of their chUdren, George, Joseph
and Mary, came to Pl3rmouth about 1680. G^rge went
to Casco (now Portland), Maine, then a part of Ply-
mouth Colony, and was tilled by Indians in an action
at what is still called Bramhall Hill. The names of
fourteen of the family who were soldiers or sailors in
the Revolutionary War, are given.

to please."

Elbridge Gerry, in a newspaper dated June 8, 1775,
advertises the loss of ''an outside garment commonly
called a French great coat, with a crimson velvet cape;"
and in the same paper for June 3, 1779, another person

great coat, with a crimson velvet cape but little the worse

on the 20th of November, 1786, according to the best
of her recollection."

THE KEATS FAMILY

From one of our readers we have the following mem-
orandum concerning the kinsmen of John Keats, the
poet, in this country. George Keats, as is known, was
John's nearest brother, about a year and a half young^.
He emigrated to America in 1818, and died in Louis-
ville, Ky., in 1842.

** George Keats had but one son, John. He was
living a farmer and surveyor in the distant Middle
West in the early '90 's — a long time ago. I believe
I have heard that he died soon after he wrote me then :
my only communication from him, a very perfunctory
one. I am not sure — he did not say so in that sole

letter — ^but I believe he was not married; I am almost
sure of it. George also had several daughters — one,
Emma, I |)elieve, married a Speed. Jbhn Qjlmore
Speed, their son, died a number of years ago in Phila-
delphia. Whether he had children I don't know; just
at this moment I am unable to put my hands on many
of my Keats things, among them the genealogical tables
I made up five and twenty years ago.

** There were, some dozen or eighteen years ago, sev-
eral intelligent females — school teachers, I believe —
who were either granddaughters or great-granddaugh-
ters of George Keats. Two, I remember, came to see
me, one from the far South and the other from the
North.''

THE OUN FAMILY.

John Olin, the founder of the family line in Ameri-
ca, was an involuntary emigrant to the new world in
1678. He was a native of Wales, who at the age of
fourteen years was ** pressed" by a recruiting gang for
service in the royal navy. When the man-of-war to
which he had been consigned entered Boston harbor,
young Olin improved an early opportunity to desert,
and fled fw refuge to Rhode Island. Here, in due time,
he married and reared a large family. After the In-
dian wars, he removed to Vermont, locating at Shafts-
bury and, later, at Bennington. The descendants of
John Olin in America have borne an honorable and
frequently a prominent part in the life of many states
and communities. The Vermont Olins took an active
and creditable part in the Revolution and in the civil
life of the state. Gideon Olin, of Shaftsbury, was a
major in the Revolutionary army. Chief Justice of Ver-
mont from 1793 to 1796, and a member of Congress for
several years. Henry Olin was supreme judge for
twenty-three years, and his son, Stephen Olin, served
as president of Middletown University, Conn. Some of
the Whittemore, Edmunds and Dyer families of Ver-
mont, married Olins. Charles Dyer, who settled in
Chicago in 1837, bore a prominent part in the develop-
ment of the inland metropolis, and was given a diploma-
tic appointment abroad by President Lincoln.

A SniTH OF IPSWICH, MASS.

Abigail, his wife, lived in the ancient Waite house, on
the river bank on the opposite side of the Bridge. James
and At>igail were married December 17, 1781. She
died in 1825, aged sixty. He died July 11, 1825. Their
son, James, married Elisabeth Hobson in 1813. They
lived in Brook street, now called Spring street, and
had six children:

John, bom January 22, 1816.

The bun called the Sally Lunn, originated with a
young woman of that name at Bath, about (the end of
the last century). She cried them in a basket, with a
white cloth over it, morning and evening. Dalmer, a
respectable baker and musician, noticed her, bought her
business, and made a song and set it to mudic in behalf
of Sally Lunn. This composition became the street fav-
orite; barrows were made to distribute the nice cakes.
Dalmer profited thereby, and retired; and to this day,
the Sally-Lunn cake claims preeminence in all cities of
England.

THE GENESIS OF NARK TWAIN

(Copyright, 1922, By WUliam M. Clemens. All Bights Reserred.)

Preface

IN ONE of numerous and inconsequential newspaper
skits, Mark Twain called upon his fellow citizens
to honor the memory of Adam, the first man and
our common ancestor. In truth he purposed inaugura-
ting a fund for the erection of a monument to the mem-
ory of Adam. Subsequently this project was carried
forward by a resident of New Jersey and such a monu-
ment now exists. What is more, the journalistic jest of
Mark Twain becomes a solemn fact, inasmuch as we
have been enabled to trace our ancestry hence to Adam
without a break in the succeeding generations. Gen-
ealogy has surmounted this most difficult of problems.

In common with every other Clemens family in the
new world, Mark Twain proverbially harked back to
Geoffrey Clemens as his probable ancestor; this same
GoeflPrey who as a member of Cromweirs Army, was
duly beheaded by Charles I. In like manner every
Clemens who survives in this day, claims at least a
cousinship to the great American humorist. Alas, no
Clemens male can call Mark Twain his kin. His
younger brother, Orion of Keokuk, Iowa, who died a
few years ago ,was the last of the race.

ASmbitious and ever pleased to make periodical pil-
grimages to Southwestern Virgina to visit his kinfolks,
Samuel L. Clemens found there among the hills of
Bedford and Campbell counties, his favorite aunt, a
Lampton, or a beloved cousin, a Goggin, or a Johnson ;
or in Kentucky, a Montgomery or Casey connection, but
never a Clemens. Mark Twain was never a Clemens,
mentally, physically or spiritually. He received no

92

hereditary prestige, no hand-down attributee, no throw-
back from a Clemens ancestor. His wit, his humor,
his ambition, his intellect, all that he possessed in char-
acter, mind and body, came from the women of his
descent, much from hiiEi mother, more from his grand-
mother; still more from the wives and mothers of ear-
lier generations, not only in this country but in Eng-
land. He was the sole heir to his women and lus
womenkind and the influence on his life, character and
work was ever the influence of the feminine. He him-
self has said, only a brief while before the passing of
his immortal soul, that two women had been the two
dams that blocked his current, f^rst, his mother who
tried to make him good, and second, his wife who tried
to make him a gentleman.

When Mark Twain embarked upon the Great Ad-
venture, as the late Charles Frohman so aptly said,
he was in ignorance as to his ancestry beyond the mar-
riage of his grandfather Samuel Clemens to Pamela
Ooggin, in Campbell county, Virginia, 23 October,
1797. Whether he had in his pedigree a Clemens who
fought in the War of the Revolution, he knew not. Be-
yond the poor, hardscrabble farmer who was his grand
pere, Mark Twain lived and died dismally in the dark-
ness of his past. In jest he wrote and spoke of Pope
Clemens and the regicide of Cromwell's time, but this
was mere fancy.

Years of research have at last given us the facts as
obtained from various and many obscure, but authori-
tative sources. Musty Court and Chancery records,
rural graveyards in the backwoods of Virginia, old
wills, documents and memoranda of fragmentary his-
tory, aided in the work, which we might designate the
Mark Twain Book of Qenesis, if not, the Book of Rev-
elation as well.

In the preparation of the chronicles, to follow this
apparently incongruous introduction, we have necessar-
ily divided the subject in hand into two parts. The first
unll deal wholly with the maternal ancestry of Sam\iei
L. Clemens, which will be the story of his great and
good mother, whose line of descent comes from a noUe
castle in County Durham owned by the Lambtons, a
name which in recent generations became the Lamptons

of Virginia. In Jane Lampton we have one of the
early pioneers of the republic who followed the intiner-
ant fortunes of an erratic husband through various
emigrations that led from Virginia to Tennessee, thence
to Kentucky and to Missouri, where Mark Twain was
bom. We will find, too, in our work of research, that
this American mother named her son Samuel Lampton
Clemens, and not Langhome, as history and biography
has led us to believe. We will find, too, in Uncle James
Lampton the original prototype of the immortal Col-
onel Sellers, and how Uncle Judge Quarles, with little
Sam on his knee in the mountain home in Tennessee,
told the youthful Mark Twain the first and original
story of the ever celebrated Jumping Prog.

In the second part of this human document, entitled
**The Paternal Clemens Ancestry,'' will be told the
romantic story of a young and dashing British widow,
encumbered with four small children, arriving here,
in the troopship George, with only soldiers and ser-
vants as companions, on a slow and perilous voyage of
two months, and how this gentlewoman, the first on
American soil, stepped ashore at Jamestown, in the
Old Dominion, in the year 1610, to take possession of
her shares in the Virginia Company, bequeathed by her
uncle. Sir Nicholas Puller, this being her only patri-
mony, and how she later married one of the most emi-
nent men of the new colony of Virginia. How the
daughter and three sons of this first gentlewoman grew
to their full stature in the wilds of the new world, de-
generating slowly one generation after another, as they
penetrated further and further into ithe wilderness,
into tribes of low, ignorant and poverty-stricken moun-
taineers; only after several generations to rise again
through the female influence of their families, into a
race tiiat finally found once more the high-water mark
of intelligence in the mind and work of Mark Twain
himself.

The editor of these chronicles, while aware of the
sombreness of genealogical material, has endeavored to
detour long and frequently from the dusty road of
ancestral history, in the hope of adding at least some
touch of human nature in the narrative, and giving the
ensemble the lights and shadows that properly aie the
colors which we wish to place upon the canvas.

THE LANPTONS OF DURHAM
Hie Natamal Ancestry ef Samuel L. Oemene

JANE LAMPTON, the mother of Mark Twain, a
great and good woman, was a Lampton of the
Lamptons, and all the Lampton women were both
great and good in their womanhood. From a British
ancestry the Lamptons inherited frugality, character,
honesty and virtue. Turn where we will, delve where
we must, we find the Lampton women the highest tyi>e8
the world has ever known, not in the sociid hall, nor
the promenade, nor in the glass of fashion, but in the
home, by the fireside and the cradle of the infant,
through generation after generation of wives of strong
men of Uie forest and field, and the mothers of still
stronger men who made their names known in the
higher walks of life. Mark Twain has said that his
mother tried to make him good. This was the message
the Lampton women brought to this world, to make her
man folk good. We know of no exceptions, and to bet-
ter illustrate the Lampton women, we quote this poetic
tribute to a Susan of the family, and all the Lampton
women were like Susan.

"Busy at her work all day,
Never asks a cent of iMiy,
Thinks it ought to be that way —
Thank the Lord for Susan.

Singin' when she wants to sing.
Like the robins in the Spring,
Scoldin' some like everything —
Thank the Lord for Susan.

Always ready, day or night.
Always wUlin' — she's a sight
When it comes to doin' right —
Thank the Lord for Susan.

Me and seven children's, what
She looks after, sick or not,
And she's Mother to the lot —
Thank the Lord for Susan.

Goes to church on Sundays, too,
'Long with aU she's got to do.
It's her that's goin' to puU us through—-
Thank the Lord for Susan.

The Lambtons of England, a house of ancient line-
age, dating back to the Twelfth Century, were exam-
ples of courage and honor, loyalty and benevolence.
In County Durham, in a quaint old town named Ches-
terlee-street, is the Lampton Castle of today, the home
of the Earl of Durham. The castle is not a baronial
one, being comparatively new — only four hundred years
old. The present Earl of Durham, John H. Lampton,
was made Elnight of the Qarter by Edward the Sev-
enth, and is a special favorite of Qeorge the Fifth. The
reigning English Lamptons are enormously wealthly,
being owners of the famous Lampton collieries.

And from this same County Durham come the Amer-
ican Lamptons, Samuel and William, who arrived
in Virginia in the year 1740.

SAMUEL L. Clemens was a debtor to the female
side of his ancestry. From the Lamptons he in-
herited more than he knew. His father, John
Marshall Clemens, a poor backwoods justice and school
teacher, had small talent to bestow upon his son, but
from Jane Lampton, his mother, Mark Twain was be-
holden for the qualities that make for the foundation
of manhood.

Lord Brougham was one of the first public men in
England to recognize the value of female ancestry. His
father had been engaged to be married to a Miss Mary
Whelpdale, **the last of a purely Saxon race,'' who
died shortly before the day fixed for the wedding. Her
affianced bridegroom consoled himself a little later by
marrying the neice of Robertson, the historian. Lord
Brougham declared his belief that if his mother had
been Miss Whelpdale he would have remained in the
state of respectable mediocrity in which his forefathers
had lived and died. He traced the power of achieve-
ment which had raised him from an obscure Scottish

advocate to be a great tribune of the English people to
the energy hereditary to the Scottish clans from his
mother.

The brothers Lampton, William and Samuel, who
left England for Virginia in the year 1740, were the
sons of Joshua Lampton, of County Durhiun. There
were other sons and daughters of Joshua who remained
in England. All spelled the name with the ''b'' and
not the ''p." As Mark Twain once said, his forefathers
turned the '*b" upside down, and anyway he consid-
ered them mighty poor Bpellers on thk account. The
Joshua of Durham was a son of John Lambton, whose
sister Margaret became the wife of Sir Robert Eden.

In the new world of Virginia, the brothers Samuel
and William became small farmers. Shortly after thdr
arrival the Earl of Durham died at the family estate
in Chesterlee Street, and the Samuel of Virginia, had
he remained in England or returned to County Dur-
ham, would have succeeded to the Earldom. With the
fortunes of Samuel, this chronicle has little in com-
mon, but with William Lampton, the maternal an-
cestor of Mark Twain, as well as the ancestor of Henri
Watterson, the eminent journalist of Kentucky, and of
Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy, we
have much to consider and to dwell upon.

Quite evident the early Lamptons of Virginia, were
not of the landholding class. William was not a man
of property. Few deeds are of record as to estates and
plantations. Henry and Joshua, the sons of the first
Samuel, owned considerable acreage in Culpepcr Coun-
ty, evidently accumulated after the death of their father.
Prom all we can glean, William Lampton was a poor
farmer, renting on shares or employed as overseer.

In 1763, while residing temporarily in Page County,
Virginia, William married Miss Patsy Schooler, of
which we can learn but little, save that she was the
daughter of a worthy planter. Two years after his
marriage, William Lampton, with other hardy and ad-
venturesome spirits, made the long and tedious over-
land journey, in a caravan of oxen and covered wagons,
to the wild and unsettled West, into Clark County,
Kentucky, where a home was established in the hamlet
of Winchester. And here he passed to his fathers, for

97

in the family Bible we find this record: ''William
Lampton, died in 1790, aged 66 years."

Eleven were the number of the children bom to
William Lampton and his wife, Patsy Schooler, eight
sons and three daughters. The first five were sons:
William, 1764; John, 1766; Lewis, 1768; Benjamin,
1770; and Samuel, 1772. The others following were:
SaUy, 1775; Mary, 1777; Joshua, 1779; Susan, 1781;
Wharton, 1784; and James, 1787.

The descendants of William Lampton, not unlike
the twelve tribes of Israel, spread over the great West
and Southwest, chiefly in Kentucky, Mississippi,, Mis-
souri, Illinois, Ohio, Colorado, Arkansas and Califomia.
The daughters of William married into the families of
Trowbridge, Crosswhite and McEenzie.

Benjamin Lampton, fourth son of William, and the
grandfather of Mark Twain, bom in Page County, Vir-
ginia, in 1770, removed first from Virginia to Ken-
tucky, thence to Tennessee and later to Missouri, where
he died 18, March, 1837, and is buried at Florida, Mon-
roe County. He was married in Kentucky to tfist
Sallie Hays. Their first child Jane, became tiie wife of
John Marshall Clemens and the mother of Mark Twain.
A sister Patsy, married Judge John A. Quarles of Mon-
roe County, Missouri. The detailed record of the fam-
ily as found in the traditional Bible, reads thus:
Record of Deaths.

1. William Lampton, died 25, February, 1790, aged

66 years.

2. William Lampton, oldest son of the above, died 2

November, 1803.

3. Patsy Schooler Lampton, mother, died 26 January,

1811.

4. Sallie Lampton Trowbridge, died 1821, in Indiana.

5. Lewis Lampton, died 12 April, 1824.

6. Benjamin Lampton. died 18 March, 1837.

7. Wharton Lampton, died September, 1853.

The mother of Miss Hays was a Casey, a relative,
possibly a sister, of General William Casey of Adair
County, Kentucky, and was closely related to the Mont-
gomeries, the Logans, the Adairs and other prominent
Colonial families of Kentucky. William Montgomery

who had been of Pennsylvania and Virginia, went to
Kentucky in the autumn of 1779, following the fortunes
of his son-in-law, General Benjamin Logan, the intrep-
id pioneer and soldier, who was one of the leaders in
the military operations against the Indians. In 1781,
William Montgomery at his home in Green River,
was killed by the Indians. At the same time his son,
John Montgomery, who lived in a nearby cabin, was
also killed. His son, William, and his daugheters, Jane
and Betsey escaped. Jane Montgomery afterward mar-
reid General William Casey, of Adair County, Ken-
tucky. Her elder sister, Anne^ married General Benja-
min Logan, and after his death she married G^eneral
James Knox, of Scotch-Irish descent, one of the earliest
explorers of the Kentucky wildemesa

Thus through his maternal grandmother, Mark
Twain inherited, to no small degree, the blood and char-
acter of these intrepid pioneers of Kentucky.

SALLIE HAYS, wife of Benjamin Lampton, and
the maternal grandmother of Mark Twain, was
near kin of Captain John Hays, who served in
the War of the Revolution from Rockbridge County,
Virginia, enlisting in September, 1777, and participat-
ing in the battles of Valley Forge, Monmouth and
Trenton. When later he applied for a pension, ab utip-
ulated in his affidavit on file in Washington, his sole
possessions consisted of two cows and three hogs valued
at thirty dollars. Such was the poverty of an ancestor.
We remember how Mark Twain in his early impover-
ished condition in San Francisco, met a lady of his
acquaintance. Mr. Clemens had a cigar box under his
arm and the inquisitive female asked whither he was
going. Mark replied that he was moving, and opening
the box, displayed a celluloid collar and a clay pipe.
A trifle less than the two cows and the three hogs of
Ancestor Hays.

The Hays and Lampton families migrated from Vir-
ginia to Kentucky at about the same period, and when
Benjamin Lampton married Miss Hays in 1800, they
were residing in Clark County. Uncle Ben, as he was
called by his relatives and familiars, like his grandson
Sam, was a rover and adventurer. In 1827, he made

99

a trip of exploration into the almost unknown regions
West of the Mississippi River. Upon his return he
said to his son-in-law: **I have seen the finest timber
in the world. The tall timber along the Missouri River
is worked into boards and posts and rails with very
little labor." He declared it different from Eentue^
and Tennessee timber, that it was '* straight grained,"
and that the drinking water was excellent and the
springs abundant. A few years later, with another son-
in-law, John A. Quarles, ad their families, they were
on their way to Missouri, and settled in the hamlet of
Florida, in Monroe County. It was here that Unde
Ben spent his declining years as a small country mer-
chant, and died 12 March, 1837, when his grandson
Samuel Clemens, was an infant of two yeors.

'*I was bom in 1835, the same year my cousin, Sam,
Clemens, was born, ".writes Elder Eugene J. Lampton,
**and we grew up as boys together. When Sam's
grandfather, Uncle Ben Lampton, was thought to be
dying, our mothers lifted us up to kiss the dying man
farewell."

The town of Florida today is a place of two hun-
dred population, and has remained the same, going
neither forward nor backward in a hundred years. In
the village cemetery, marked by a plain slab of marble,
is still found the grave of Benjamin Lampton, and
nestled by its side in a little grave covered with wild
roses and brambles, sleeps little Margaret Clemens,
oldest sister of Mark Twain, who died in 1835, at the
age of twelve years.

Jennie Lampton, or Jane, the mother of Mark Twain
and daughter of Benjamin Lampton, was bom in Ken-
tucky in 1803, and was married there 28 May, 1823, to
John Marshall Clemens. For a few years they lived in
Tennessee, in Adair County, where for a brief time
the father of Twain was postmaster at a settlement
called Pall Mall. The tales brought by Ben Lampton
of the rich country of Missouri encouraged them to
move on to Florida, Missouri, whither they made the
three days' journey by ox-cart. And here in Florida,
in a small room of a log cabin in the rear of Ben
Lampton 's store, Samuel Clemens was born, 30 Novem-
ber, 1835.

In his ^i^tobioi^pby, Ifr. demens says: ''My
mother was a Lampton, spelled it with a ''p." The
Lambtons in those days were poor spellers, hence the
mistake. My mother's favorite cousin was James
Lampton, who was the original of Colonel Sellers in
The Gilded Age." This Uncle James Lampton lived at
Marsolf Hill, near Louisiana, Missouri. He was a law-
yer by profession but late in life became a travelling
s al e sman. He was erect and tall and had a military
bearing.

According to a time honored custom, a mother gives
name to her offspring. In the month of March, 1870,
on the occasion of Jane Lampttm Clemens paying a
visit to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Permelia Mof-
f ett, in St. Louis, the mother of Mark Twain made the
following statement to several of her rdatives: ''My
son Sam was named Samuel Lampton Clemens, after
my uncle in Eentud^, one of the best men I ever knew.
I named Sam after him to perpetuate the memory of
a good man."

Why Mark Twain discarded the Lampton from his
name and substituted Langhome, was never explained.
An a boy he was plain Sam Clemens. As a youth he
was Sam Clemens. As a miner and newspaper man
in California he was likewise simply Sam Clemens.
His first book, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Cal-
averas County, published in 1867, bears simply the
name of lifark Twain as the author. On the title page
of his second book, The Innocents Abroad, published in
Hartford, Conn., in 1869, appears Samuel L. Gemens,
the initial "L." being used for the first time.
