Descendants of John Binney of Hull, Mass.
Descendants of
JOHN BINNEY OF HULL, MASS,
1. Capt. John Binney, of Hull, Mass., in 1678 or 1679,
fisherman, gentleman, was the ancestor of almost all of the name
in America. He died in Hull, Mass., Nov. 10, 1698, intestate.
Mercy, relict of John Binney, died in Hull, Jan. 19, 1708-9.
Children :
2 i John 2 b. May 31, prob. 1678, deacon Hull church;
m. first Hannah Paine ; m. second Sarah Crosby.
3 ii Samuel 2 b. prob. 1679 or 1680; m. Rebecca Vickers
or Vickere.
4 iii Mercy 2 b. Hull, Dec. 15, 1682; m. Nath. Baker
1704; removed to Barnstable, Mass., 1705.
5 iv Isaac 2 b. Hull, June 25, 1685 ; lost at sea, 1707 ;
was sea captain.
6 v Thomas 2 b. Hull, Feb. 3, 1687; m. Margaret
Miller.
7 vi Elizabeth 2 b. Hull, Dec. 3, 1690; m. George
Vickers, Jr., Dec. 12, 1710.
Capt John Binney, the American ancestor, with his wife
Mercy must have come to Hull, Mass., about 1678 or 9,
and with his two oldest sons John, Jr., afterwards dea. of Hull
church, and Samuel, with them probably, from Worksop Notts.,
England, whose nearest seaport of that, and also ofScrooby and
Bawtry was Hull. The first entry of marriages, births and
deaths on Hull records is by John Loring, the first town

clerk of Hull, viz. " record of the children born in Hull," and
"record of those who have died in Hull." These records begin
in 1693, at which time, by a law of the General Court,
the parents handed in the names and dates of birth of all their
children born there ; John Binney handed in this record, viz :
" Mercy daughter to John Binney b. Dec. 15, 1782," then fol-
lows Isaac 1685, Thomas 1687, Elizabeth, 1690. It is
evident from these entries, that John and Samuel, were born
elsewhere and were purposely omitted on the records on that
account, and they were then lads of the respective ages of 15 and
13 years and would be well known in so small a place as Hull.
There are now no church records extant so early, ministers did
not then marry people but magistrates did. In 1660 John Prince
the elder of Hull church was empowered by General Court to
marry persons in Hull as there were no magistrates near there.
The church records under Rev. Zachariah Whitman, from
1660 to 1725, are lost.
If John, the ancestor, was born in 1657 and married in
1678 at about 25 years of age and died in 1698, he would be
about 41 years at death ; and if his wife Mercy, was 20 at
marriage, say in 1678 and was b. in 1658, and d. in Hull in
1708, she would have been about 50, at death. (Her foot
gravestone in Hull, has only " M. B. " on it.)
John (2) and Samuel (3) were known to be children of
John (1). Samuel, at death is described as " son of John and
Mercy" and John (2) in a deposition of 1 7 10, speaks of
"his brother Isaac;" and John (2), when m. in Eastham,
is described as " John Binney, Junior, of Hull." Dea.
John the oldest son, lived and died in Hull, and was the
immediate ancestor, after John, Senior, of most of the name in
America. Samuel (3), also lived and d. in Hull, but his
family became extinct in the 4 th generation. Isaac (5), was
lost at sea in 17 10, probably single. Thomas (6), lived in
Boston, as a merchant, the latter part of his life, and d. there

but was buried in Hull, where he retained his residence corner of
Quaker Lane, opposite the meeting-house, in the house that
Wm. Chamberlin the Quaker formerly owned. See will of
Caleb Gould, the husband of Sarah Binney (25) and will of
Capt Benj. Binney (30), of Chestertown, Maryland, for dis-
position of that estate. All the sons of John (1), and most
of his grandsons, were sea captains. Mercy (4) eldest
daughter of John (1), whose birth was the first of his children
recorded on Hull record as b. there, m. Nath. Baker of Hull ;
he was son of Samuel and Fear (Robinson,) Baker of Hull, and
Barnstable, Mass., Fear R. being a granddaughter of John
Robinson, of Leyden and daughter of Isaac R. of Scituate.
One of this Mercy's children, was "Binney Baker" (see
No. 4.)
Elizabeth (7) daughter of John (1), married in Hull 1 7 16,
George Vickers or Vickere, as indifferently spelled, and died
1725. Thomas (1) was father of Jonathan (29) ancestor of
the Nova Scotia branch of the name.
John Binney, (1) always wrote and spelled his name
as we do, Binney, see his deed and signature 1694 from Hull
records No. 5.
John Binney (1) was buried in the burial ground in Hull,
the site of his and widow Mercy's grave is known, and when
his son Dea. John 2 who died June 30th, 1759, in his 81st year,
was buried, his body was placed in his father's grave. A suitable
monument or marble headstone has been erected by some or
their descendants, and is now over the spot, and in 1883 the lot
was raised and arranged by Robert Gould, under the supervison
of the writer, by request and at the expense of another descend-
ant of the name (see the photograph of the monument which
Wm. G. Binney had taken in 1883).
The cellar of the site of the ancestor John's house has
been seen by the writer, it was between the Parsonage house

which is yet standing (1883,) and the mansion house, erected
by his son Dea. John, on part of the land, and west of it.
North-west of the latter house, was the one occupied by Amos
Binney Jr., and wife Mary Prentice, the grandparents of the
writer, and where his uncle Amos Binney, formerly Navy
Agent, Boston, and his brother John, the writer's father, and
Miss Sarah Binney, and Mrs. Nancy Copeland, sisters of Amos
and John above, were born. This house is of oak and a good
one yet and was 1884 occupied by the Postmaster, Mr. Pope.
Probably the first settlers were mostly fishermen and also
husbandmen and cultivated their lots of land in Hull, as the
General Court to encourage the fishery, granted most of the
Islands in Boston Harbor, and special privileges to settlers in
Hull, for that object.

of Thomas Paine, Jr., (or 3d.) and wife Hannah, daughter of
Jonathan and Phebe (Watson) Shaw ; she died in Hull, Jan.

John Binney was chosen deacon of Hull church, Dec. 13,
1734, was owner of pew No. 1 of the 19 pews in the new
meeting-house 1732. He was one of the six present, who

dained at Hull Nov. 24, 1725, at the house of the senior and
aged Rev. Zachariah Whitman, the first settled pastor of Hull,
who was ordained 1670.
He and wife Hannah were admitted to full communion in
Hull church, April 30, 1727.
Deacon John Binney lived in the Binney mansion house,
which he probably built between 1700 and 1732, from oak
cut on his land, it was afterward occupied by his son Captain
Amos Binney, Sen., then by his son Spencer Binney, Sen., it
was finally sold after the death of Spencer Binney's widow
to and occupied by John Mitchel some 28 or 30 years, and then
sold in 1876 to Mr. Edward Gould Knight, who took it down

the frame was perfectly sound ; no carpets were used in old times
and when the ceiling of the room was torn down showers of fine
white beach sand came down on the workmen. A silver pepper
box, marked J B H - for John and Hannah Binney, descended to
the writer's father John Binney Esq., Boston, and is yet owned
by one of his sons. There was 26 oz. of silver plate mentioned
in Deacon John Binney's inventory. He was town treasurer
of Hull, I7i2and 1733, and from 1746 to 175 1 , and town

Hon. Horace Binney'sietter to the writer, of Aug. 7, 1873 sa . vs
"Deacon John Binney is an ancestor I am very proud of, I want
no better one than him. I have a Woodrow in the maternal
line at the same distance, thorough Scotch, of the blood of the
Historian of the Covenanters, from whom came my maternal
grandmother, who lived to the age of 91, I shall be glad to
see her again, as I saw her and was so much delighted with her
shrewdness and ' savoir faire,' when I was a law student."
Deacon John Binney was an appraisor on the estate of
Captain Joseph Spear, Senior of Hull, in 1738; who married
Mary, daughter of Gershom and Elizabeth (Poole) Collier.
Mrs. Mary (Collier,) Spear married 2d, Richard Stubbs, of
Hull, (per James Spear Loring.)
The " Ensign " Binney, one of the committee of 5, to call
a minister, in Hull, March 22, 1724 — 5, was probably the
above John Binney, afterwards deacon of Hull church.

nent understands bv all the inquiry he could make, nor could he
iver hear of his brother, since his departure from New England,

with short horns, the tops of which are sawed off; she has a
slit in her right ear, her ' tets ' are very small, who ever

Isaac Binney is mentioned in Joseph Milton's account of
settlement of Lydia Vickere's estate, deceased, July 20, 1748,
and paid him Us. bd.
Tax list 1749, says; he owns | house yearly value £2, 1 poll
1 cow, 4 acres pasturage, 1 lease of pasture : his name also in

Oct. 4, 1765, Sarah Binney (25) spinster of Hull, sister-in-
law of Isaac Binney, appointed guardian to Joseph and Mary
Binney, minors above 14, children of Isaac Binney, late of
Hull, deceased, cordwainer, March 22, 1759. He wassergeant
in Capt. John Gould's Foot Co., Hull, taken at Weymouth.
It is reported of Isaac Binney, that when there was no
preaching in Hull, on Sundays, he used to sit on a rock and play
psalm tunes on his violin, " to drive evil thoughts away." His
house was opposite Mr. Thomas Jones, in Hull, one of them
was fond of a glass, and is reported to have said " he did not
want a better world then this, with rum at 2 cents a glass ! '
another account says " Isaac Binney's house was opposite Mr.
Lorings."
Caleb Gould, who married Sarah, sister of Elizabeth Bin-
ney, leaves by will in 1791, " to the heirs of Elizabeth Bin-
ney, sister of his late wife, 9 acres of land, and dwelling house

which formerly belonged to Thomas Binney, deceased, to be
divided in 3 equal parts, among them, and a common right at

jamin Binney, of Chestertown, Kent Co., Maryland, whose
will was proved Oct. 13, 1790, Thomas and Joseph Bin-
ney, and Abraham and Mary (Binney) Perkins, of Penobscot,
Me., gave a power of attorney in 1795, with Joseph and Mary
(Binney) Osood, to sell and deed the same property to Samuel
Soper of Hull, and July 20, 1797, Samuel Soper and wife
Content, sell the same property to Thomas Jones of Hull,

Sarah Binney the wife of Caleb Gould of Hull, administered
on her father, Thomas Binney's estate, after her mother Mar-
garet, the previous Executrix's decease, and it appears by
Caleb Gould's will, neither he or his wife Sarah, had ever paid
Benjamin Binney, her brother, or the heirs of her sister Eliza-
beth, wife of Isaac Binney, their parts of Thomas Binney's
estate. Benjamin Binney's will leaves his share of it, both

Margaret (Binney) Osgood of North Andover, Mass.; and to
the two oldest sons of his brother Jonathan Binney of Halifax,

Dr. Binney was a very skilful physician and surgeon, an
intelligent and shrewd man ; a great writer and quite a poet.
In person rather short but well proportioned, quite erect, hand-
some dark blue eyes, dark hair, remarkably neat and good look-
ing. A book containing a record of his family and connections
was lent to a physician of Weston, who removed to Illinois, and

took it with him. The winter previous he took most of his
papers and books on a visit to his daughter in New Haven, he
returned next summer very unwell, leaving them there, and
died Sept., 1805. The house in New Haven was burnt with
with all his papers &c, after he left there. A few of his
books, and an account book of charges in 1 77 1 , are left. His
wife Lydia's wedding ring, was a heart and hand, with " heart
and hand, at your command," engraved on it. His silver plate
and most of his property in supposed to have gone to the Or-
lan family.
Joseph Bird, military waiter to Dr. Binney, in the army,
and who married his daughter Cynthia, related at his son's
residence in Bristol, that Dr. Binney, previous to being in the
Revolutionary army, was in the expedition to Quebec, under
or with Capt. Giles Dowd, and was present at the fall of Gen.
Montgomery, and until the retreat of the army. He joined
the Revolutionary army, at Tyringham, Jan. 1, 1777, as
surgeon in Samuel Brewer's regiment, went to Ticonderoga,
remained untill the retreat of the army in July, 1777. Was
taken sick with dysentery, and left the army ; his wife died
of that complaint, in Aug., 1777. He successfully practiced
inoculation for small pox while in the army, against orders
forbidding it, and was arrested for it, made a successful plea,
which was copied in his book, and was acquitted. To avoid
examination to detect the practice, he inoculated high up the
leg, instead of the arm, attended the soldiers privately, and this
saved many lives. The history of Berkshire, mentions his
name first in the list of physicians in Tyringham.
He is supposed to have been in Egremont, at one time from
an epigram made on him by a crazy man in Egremont, viz.:
'" Binney Tom, of Egremont ; he is a mere vexation.
He's the curse, that gleans the purse of this poor generation."

He did a good business in Tyringham, and lived in good
style, but went to Williston poor. A land claim he owned
he placed with Mr. Benjamin Wait Hopkins with a power of at-
torney to collect, and was to pay Hopkins $50, if he collected it.
Hopkins took as partners Frink and Jewell. Hopkins and
Frink died soon after, and the family received nothing from
the claim.
Dr. Thomas Binney sold his share in his father's estate, in
Weston, June 17, 1775. He was afterwards surgeon of the
12th, Mass., Col. Sprout.

41a. Eunice 4 Binney Sprague, daughter of Dr. John (8)
and Hannah Binney, born about I726(?) in Hull ; married about
1750, Silas Sprague, then of Lebanon, Ct., where her sister
Mary (Binney) Baldwin, went. Silas Sprague was born in
Lebanon, Ct., Jan. 3, 1727, and died Sept., 1808, and was
probably son of Benjamin Sprague and second wife, Abigail
Hill or (Tisdale) Sprague, Taunton. Benjamin Sprague
having married first, Mary Woodworth, Dec. 29, 1797 ; and
had several children in Lebanon, Ct. Silas Sprague was a
captain in the Revolutionary army.

There is some doubt whose daughter Eunice Binney was,
as some of the leaves of Hull Records are missing, and there
appears a neglect in entering some items for several years.
The first news of her was from Richard Soule, Jr., of Boston,
" Memorials of the Sprague family gathering in Duxbury," pub-
lished Boston, 1847, in which he distinctly stated, that Silas
Sprague married Eunice Binney, but has no further mention of
her. From the similarity of names of part of his children,
Binney Genealogy. 55
Barnabas, "Hannah and Mary, with those of Dea. John Bin-
ney's children, or grandchildren, I conclude, she must be a
daughter of his, or one of his sons. Dr. John Binney of Men-
don, had daughters Mary and Hannah, and the latter by his will
1758, appears to have married John Sprague, before 1758.
Benjamin Sprague, the father, or grandfather of Silas, was
probably from Duxbury, Mass., some of that family went
from Duxbury to Rochester, and Fairhaven, and Benjamin
Sprague, in said to have gone to Lebanon, Ct. Benajmin
Sprague, born July 15, 1685 ; married in Lebanon, Ct.,
1707, and the first child of Benjamin and Mary Sprague was
born in Lebanon, Ct., 1709. If Silas was born 1727, and
was 21 at marriage, it would be about 1748, and if Eunice Bin-
ney was 18 or 20, at marriage (if in 1748), she must have been
born about 1726 or 1728. Their first child Barnabas died
per Lebanon Record, in 1 75 1. Silas Sprague, removed about
the time of the Revolutionary war, to Great Barrington,
Mass., and afterwards about 1790, to East Bloomfield, Ontario
Co., New York, where he died September, 1808.
Thomas Sprague, wrote 1847, to Seth Sprague, Esq., Dux-
bury, Mass., that he thought his grandfather Silas Sprague,
was born Jan. 3, 1729, and that he had two wives, by 1st
Eunice Binney, he had seven children, by his 2d wife, Abigail
Hill, he had eight children, viz.: Roger, Azel, Thomas, Sophia,
Betsy, Betsy 2d, Fanny and Aminta. Thomas was son of
Roger, who had eight children, and he was the youngest, and
says his grandfather Silas, removed to Great Barrington,
before the Revolutionary war ; and his father Roger removed
Aug., 1822, to Oakland Co., Mich., and resided there in
1847.
One of this Sprague family, wrote in 1874-5, to H. P.
Binney, from East Bloomfield, Ontario Co., N. Y., that
56 Binney Genealogy.
Barnabas and his brother Capt. (Silas?) Sprague, settled there ;
and he, or Silas, Sen., died in 1808, and left three sons, Roger,
Azel and Thomas. Silas Sprague deeds land in Great Bar-
rington, in 1783, and was a captain in the Revolutionary war.
Elkanah Binney, of Hingham, near Weymouth, said his
uncle Nathanael Pittee had a daughter Eunice, who was member
of the old choir of Hingham, and her oldest sister Mary (Polly)
married a Sprague, and Eunice Pittee may have been so
named from Eunice (Binney) Sprague.
Lydia Talcott, of Williston, Vt., whose mother was a
daughter of Thomas, son of Dr. John Binney, by his wife Han-
nah (Jones) Binney, wrote that she had often heard her parents
speak of Silas Sprague, and her uncle Bird thought he was
son of Silas Sprague, who married Eunice Binney.
Caleb Gould's will, Hull, Nov. 21, 1791, who married
Sarah Binney, reserves to Elizabeth Sprague, his housekeeper,
after his wife's (Sarah Binney) death, the north-west lower room
in his house so long as she remains unmarried, and choses to
live in it and privilege in cellar, and well and carrying wood
in, and gives her some furniture.

Amos (11) and Rebecca (Loring) Binney, of Hull, born in
Hull, Wednesday, Oct. 16, 1735; bapt. Oct. 26, 1735;
married to Thomas son of Solomon and Mary (Winsor) Jones,
of Hull, by Rev. Samuel Veazie, of Hull, Jan. 6, 1763 ; she
died May 23, 1765, aged 29 years, 7 months, soon after
the birth of their only son Solomon. Thomas Jones was born

Thomas or Mrs. Solomon Jones, had them in 1 847 at her daughter
Loud's in Plymouth ; she lent the writer the book, to copy ;
and in 1876, he sent the town clerk of Hull, a copy of them.
In 1876, the writer heard Mr. John Reed, of Hull, had the
silver communion cups, for the use of the present church in
Hull, and a daughter of Mr. Thomas Jones, has the church re-
cords of Hull, in Hingham (1876) ; the new church in Hull,

old soul, kind and benevolent. After the death of her mother,
and the marriage of Spencer, she lived a while in Hingham.
She afterwards lived with Spencer, in the new house he built
at the west end of the pond in Hull, and where she died. She
was very active about her mother's house v and was often called
upon by her to look after her youngest darling, Spencer, " now
Becca go see where Spencer is ! perhaps he has fallen into
the well," and wanted Becca to try a horse first, that she
bought for Spencer to ride. If he remained out " courting"
too long, she sent Becca after him. Rebecca became childish
and peculiar in old age, and said " folks stood for their ca-rac-
ter " and once when in that state made a fire on the floor " to
warm the house." She was quite stout, and used a large sized
arm rocking chair, made for her mother ; and in which her
mother sat most of the time previously.
Molly Binney (widow of Spencer Binney), was appointed
administratrix on the estate of Rebecca Binney, " single wo-
man, late of Hull," deceased, Aug. 2, 1819. Inventory men-
tionss ix silver spoons and one large one, four notes of hand,
furniture, &c, total $823.57, the balance divided among her
brothers' and sisters' families. John Binney, Esq., Boston, in
a letter of Oct. 18, 1820, to his sister Mrs. Mary Cushing,
of Hingham, (see No. 45,) says: I inclose $15.85, your part
of $79.27 received from Molly (Jones) Binney, administratrix
on the estate of Rebecca Binney ; this sum from aunt Rebecca
was unexpected, for we were of opinion aunt Binney should
have whatever was left, but as she has so settled it, I have
taken the $79.27, and divided it among brothers and sisters.
Miss Sarah Binney bought her large bible with a part of
hers. Mrs. N. Copeland, a cow with hers. John Binney,
Esq., probably bought his large silver soup ladle with his.
Rebecca left the large square family bible of her parents

his death, Samuel Loring his administrator, of Hull, sold it
with his effects at an auction in Hull ; John Gould, who mar-

Mary Gould, then aged about 7 ; she married Rev. Addison
Woodward, a Methodist minister, who was settled in " Ashdod,"
a part of Duxbury, in 1847, and where the writer saw it and
copied the family record. They have since resided in New
Bedford, where they were in 1874.

time; when sufficiently recovered, he and wife visited Europe,
and afterwards was able to complete his theological compen-
dium of the Bible, assisted by Rev. Dr. Steele, of which at
his death the circulation had increased to 40,000 copies in

Dr. Binney in his youth attended the Derby Accademy,
Hingham, Mass., and boarded with Mr. Kimball, and there
developed his taste for natural history, in a large collection of
nests and eggs of birds, &c. He prepared for Brown
University, which he entered in 181 7. He wrote a very
good affectionate letter at the age of 15, to his aunt Mrs.
Mary Cushing, on the death of her son Stephen in 1818,
which the writer has.
' l Our tender tie." * *
"Of earthly bliss, it breaks at every breeze."
" It admonishes us that although we ourselves may at pres-
ent be in the enjoyment of life and health, with all their
pleasures, yet soon may the baneful Cypress wave over the
tomb, which shall be the only repository of pur earthly
remains."
After a youthful frolic in college, he was rusticated for a
short time to a country town to study in some Parson's
family, where he amused himself in learning to make
horse-shoe nails at the blacksmith's. He graduated from
Brown University in 1821. Took his degree of M. D. at
Harvard College, 1826, having studied medicine with the late
Dr. George C. Shattuck, in Staniford St,, Boston. He never
practiced medicine.
In 1824, unfavorable symptoms of health appearing, he
rode horseback from Boston to Cincinnati, Ohio, where
on his arrival he was seized with a fever; on a partial recovery
he had a severe relapse, and was carefully attended to through
all his illness by Dr. Greene, in whose family he fortunately
was. On his recovery he returned home also on horse-
back.
In 1825, ne was ordered to Europe for a year for his health,
and was accompanied by Theodore Russell Jenks, a son of the
17
130 Binney Genealogy.
late William Jenks, D. D., of Boston, as a companion, in case
of Dr. Binney's illness.
Dr. Binney possessed the art of writing interesting, amusing
and descriptive letters in perfection, the writer has several of
them. The visit gratified his taste for natural history and
fine arts, and he laid the foundation of his valuable library and
collections on those subjects.
He made a visit to Savannah, Georgia, Florida, &c, with his
wife and in Savannah met with the Rev. Joseph Getchell Bin-
ney, then preaching there as a Baptist minister.
He entered into mercantile business, in company with the late
John S. Tyler, of Boston, at 33 Long Wharf, Boston. Subse-
quently he devoted himself to his father's affairs, assisting him
in his large business, making himself acquainted with
business in general, under so able a teacher, and devoting
his leisure time to literature, fine arts and natural history.
After the decease of his father he occupied himself in settling his
large estate, and increasing his own property by judicious invest-
ments in stocks and real estate in and near Boston, especially
near " Tommy's Rocks," Roxbury, and in land near Long-
wood, Boston side, then Roxbury, which has increased in
value, escaping the commercial crisis of 1 837, but with
severe losses. In five years from that time, he retrieved them and
enlarged his estate. He was chosen president of the Hancock
Bank, to wind up its affairs involved by previous mismanage-
ment of others. In 1830, he was one of the founders, and
drew up the constitution of the Boston Natural History Society,
was its curator and treasurer from 1832 to 1834, corresponding
sec, 1834 to 1837 ; vice-president in 1837 to 1843, an( ^ presi-
dent of it in 1843, and to which he presented his valuable col-
lection of minerals, shells and birds. After 1835, he de-
voted much time and study to the " Terrestial Mollusks of the
Binney Genealogy. 131
United Stares," always collecting specimens on his travels, a
valuable treatise on which he prepared for the press, and had
expensive plates made in Paris, to illustrate them, and left
directions in his will that it should be published by his friend
Dr. A. A. Gould, of Boston, who wrote an eloquent memoir
of Dr. Binney, from which some of the foregoing account is
taken.
The " Terrestrial Mollusks of the United States," was pub-
lished in several volumes, a monument of the industry and
love of science of the author, a copy of which he directed to
be presented to the Scientific Societies of the United States,
and several in Europe. Chiefly by Dr. Binney's efforts, the
new brick building of the Boston Natural History Society,
was erected in 1846. He was a member of most all the
Scientific Societies of America. The American Philosophical
Society ; American Academy of Arts and Sciences ; the
Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia ; the New York
Lyceum ; the Natural History Societies of Salem, Mass., of
Hartford, Ct., Portland, Me., &c, a prominent member of
the American Association of Geologists and Naturalists, at its
session in Boston, in 1848, over which he was to have pre-
sided.
Wnile a member of the House of Representatives, Masschu-
setts Legislature, 1836-7, he obtained the vote for a commis-
sion of a Zoological Survey, added to that of Geology of the
State of Massachusetts under Professor Hitchcock, and also an
appropriation to the Boston Natural History Society. With a
view to encourage American Art and Artists, he offered a
generous price to four of the most prominent American
Artists, each to select a subject on American History,
or written by Americans. He selected Huntington, Roth-
ermal, Leutze and Terry, who produced the paintings
owned by him, viz. : Henry VIII and Catherine Parr, by
132 Binney Genealogy.
Huntington, " Noche Triste," from Prescott's Conquest of
Mexico, by Rothermal, Spaniards storming a Mexican Teo-
calli, from the same history, by Leutze, a very large painting,
and Columbus before Ferdinand and Isabella, with gifts and
Indians, on his return from the discovery of America, by
Terry, from Prescott's Ferdinand and Isabella. They were
requested to produce works pledges of their ability, and on
which posterity might judge of their reputation. All these were
owned by Dr. Binney. Similar propositions were made to the
American sculptors, Powers and Crawford, and other artists
in statuary and bronze. There is an excellent oil portrait of
Dr. Binney.
In 1846, his health again failing, he took passage to Havre,
with his wife for a trip to Europe, to see if that would recruit
it. After a short tarry in Paris, his bodily suffering and nervous
irritability increasing, they started for Italy. In Florence his
sufferings increased. The " Mistral" of the Appennines, chilly
and penetrating, with the discomforts of the lodgings, produced
a violent attack of pleurisy. Though suffering much from the
ride, on the 4th of Feb., they pushed on to Rome, for medical
advice, as the last resort. There the best medical advice and
skill with active treatment, was at first beneficial, but after a
relapse, of no avail. The day after his arrival, from his bed
he penned his last short note of farewell to his sister Mary,
full of love to all his family, longing to see them, and regret-
ting his having left home. Convinced of his situation, a few
days after on the 6th of February, in the presence of Franklin
Dexter, Esq., and bis two children, of Boston, he signed his
name with difficulty in a trembling hand to a codicil of his will
he had made Oct. 6, 1846, before he left home, showing
the effects of a deceased body acting on his mind. He re-
voked several munificent donations to his favorite societies in
Boston. After fourteen days of suffering in Rome, during

which his wife was his constant nurse day and night, a soften-
ing of the brain finally produced delirium and unconsciousness,
ending in death on the 18th of February, 1847, at tne a g e °f
43 years, 4 months, just before 7 p. m., Roman time, civil
reckoning. His mother in Boston, dying at 2 A. M., of the
same day and year and preceding his death four and a half hours.
On the arrival of his body funeral services were held at his
sisters and brother's house, Boston. Rev. Dr. Charles Lowell,
officiated, all Dr. Binney's family and immediate connexions, and
many friends were present in large numbers, among them Rev.
Mr. Snowdon, the colored minister, and " Father Taylor," the
sailor's minister, both of whom Dr. Binney's father Col. Amos
Binney, had befriended, and many others.
He was buried at Mt. Auburn Cemetery, in the large lot
of that family, in the east end of the lot. The beautiful and
costly marble cenotaph, made by Crawford, in Rome, by the
direction of Mrs. Binney, was subsequently placed in the centre
of the lot, in July 1 850, representing a drapery thrown over it
in heavy folds, on one side is a deep niche, in has relief is a
figure representing the spirit of the departed ascending, the
face turned heavenward, on the other side is a female figure
vailed, a small part of her face only visible looking down to
and holding an urn.
Dr. Binney was of a fine, tall, erect and robust appearance,
dark complexion, very black hair and eyes, good features,
prominent nose, was gentlemanly and courteous, though rather
reserved in manner, voice full, deep, and distinct, of a refined
and elegant taste, fond of literature and the fine arts, evinced by
his large and well selected library, pictures, engravings, statuary,
&c. His library was one of the best private collections, and
especially rich in Natural History, and often consulted by those
interested in similar studies. He was a great student and writer,

often sitting in his library half the night, like his father ; al-
though he reported himself naturally indolent, he accomplished
a vast deal in his short life. Happy in his family, he was
desirous "that his children may especially imbibe principles of
honor and religion, and that it may be their high aim to acquire
and deserve the name of christian gentlemen, and that it
may be said of my house, not 'that all the sons were brave, and
daughters virtuous,' but also that all the sons were upright and
honorable, and all the daughters good."
164. Charles 6 James Fox Binney, of Boston, son of
John (88) and Sarah Ann (Callender) Binney, of Boston, born
in his father's Allen St. house, Oct. 2, 1806, in Boston ;
married Oct. 29, 1829, Clarissa, born Oct. 14, 1810, daugh
ter of Deacon George Loring, and his second wife Hannah
(Drew) Loring, of and in Duxbury, Mass.
Mr. Binney attended the school of Rev. Joseph Richardson,
in Hingham, then the private school of Rev. Wm. Jenks, of
Boston, and the public Latin School of Boston, in 1819, under
the late Benjamin A. Gould, and afterwards the late Capt.
Alden Partridge's Military Academy, at Norwich, Vt.,
but preferring mercantile business, entered his father's store
77 Long-wharf, Boston, about 1825, In 1826, as a member
of the Boston Light Infantry, he visited New York, the
company commanded by Parker H. Pierce.
After his father decease, he continued the same business,
principally navigation. He removed from Mt Vernon, to
Dorchester, afterwards to Mt. Pleasant, Roxbury, and Oct.,
6 1848, to Florence St., Boston, a year or two, the house
being unhealthy causing constant illness of his family, he was
advised by his physician, to move out of town. He moved
to the house on Binney St., Roxbury, which in 1873, was taken
in as part of Boston, where he has since resided.

Dr. Amos Binney and himself were the executors of his
father's estates and by judicious management and running his
ships, during the high freight year, increased the result of the
estate largely. He was also guardian of his brother William
C. Binney, until he was of age. Administrator on the estate

pulmonary complaint from a severe cold,) for the Island
of Curacoa, where they remained three months and returned
in the same vessel, via. New York May 17.
Afterwards while moving from Mt. Pleasant to Florence
St., a small money bag was stolen containing the red cornelian
seal with "J. B." on it, and several seals and rings.
In 1850, he finished his History and Genealogy of the
Prentice or Prentiss family, the first edition of which was pub-
lished in 1852, and the second edition enlarged, corrected and
illustrated, in 1883.
After the decease of his daughter Emily, in 1839, a large
portrait of her was painted by Alexander of Boston, and a
full length marble statue of her as she lay, as if asleep, dressed
in her usual clothes, in her crib, was made by Henry Dex-
ter, of Cambridge In 1840, this was placed under the
marble entablature, supported on four fluted columns of marble

BINNEYS
OF
WORKSOP, NOTTS. ENGLAND.
Believed to be the English home of the Binney family,
who are said to have gone there from some place in Scotland,
with one of the early Dukes of Norfolk, who built Worksop
Manor. And " there is a tradition in the family (writes
Thomas Casson Binney, of Hull, Eng., in 1847), tnat one
of the name went early to America, and probably was the
John Binney, of Hull, Mass., of 1680." And it is likely
that the Bawtry and Sheffield branches, many of whose de-
scendants, mostly farmers, are in the Western or Southern
States of America, and some in Australia and New Zealand,
were also of the Worksop branch. Worksop, Nottingham-
shire, England, is a market town and parish, of England, 25
miles north of Nottingham, on the Ryton, at the northern
extremity of the Sherwood forest, with a station on the Shef-
field & Lincolnshire Railroad •, population in 187 1 — 7215.
The church formed part of an ancient priory, and is one
of the most perfect specimens of the Anglo-Norman style, of
the 1 2th century, in England. The Norman nave of the
Priory church, with the aisles, was re-established in the per-
fect style and now serves as the Parish church. There are
two western towers, surrounded by modern battlements and
pinnacles, and the east end has a good triple lancet, with a
circular window above. The south porch has an elaborate
groined roof. The church contains many monuments, &c,
from the old one ; at a short distance east of the present
church, is the ruins of " Lady's Chapel." It is a very fine east
of England work. There is little left of this Augustine
Abbey. The ruins of the priory in the distance, under the

large arch of the latter, as seen in the two photographs, with
a lens, can be seen the burial ground of the Binney family,
surrounded by an iron railing, and adjoining the place to the
right, which Mr. Owen took from it, who removed the grave-
stones of several of the older Binneys, without authority. In
all probability, our family have been buried there since the date
of the dissolution of the priories by Henry VIII, 1536 to
1539, to get possession of them and their incomes ; and even
before that time. The burial place as seen by the photograph,
is a most picturesque and solemn looking last resting place
(writes Edward William Binney, of Manchester Eng).
It was the custom of the Worksop, Hull, Sheffield and
Leeds families of the name, wherever they died, to be buried
•in the Worksop old church cemetery (wrote Thomas Casson
Binney, in 1847, ^ rom Hull). And that the Binneys of
Worksop, had buried there some 200 to 250 years. They
were yeomen, tradesmen and land owners.

He wrote 1849 : "some one of the family left England about
250 to 300 years ago for America, and the whole Binney fam-
ily had buried in Worksop 200 to 250 years, their native place.
I understand our family came from Scotland, my father and
uncle were reticent about their ancestors. The Dukes of
Norfolk own " Worksop Manor," in Worksop, and it is
thought our family came from Scotland, through their in-
fluence. Thomas, Richard and John, were family names for a
long time back. It is possiole that John Binney, of Hull,
Mass., U. S., in 1680, may be the one who left (as above) for
America." In his letter, 1854, he says: "our family for 2 or 3
generations has been small, not more then two brothers and
sisters, and now 1854, number 15 male children."

to return from his summer residence in Douglass, Isle of

became worse on the steamer ; when brought to his own
house at Cheetham Hill, seldom conscious, from Dec. 8, to
Dec. 20, 1 88 1 , when he died. In his youth he was educated
at a boarding school in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, of some
note. He served his time as a solicitor, at Chesterfield, and
after being a while in London, settled in Manchester, but soon
found he had no special love for the study of law. In appear-
ance he was a strong, tall and active man, fond of nature, a
student of rocks and scenery, and an especial lover of Sher-
wood Forest, to which he made frequent visits, and lately
before his death, was planning excursions there in the spring.
He came to Manchester in 1836, an J resided most of the time
at Cheetham Hill. When a young man, he was present at

the founding of the Manchester Geological Society, and soon
beo-an the collection, afterwards known as the Museum of that
society, subsequently transferred to the Natural History
Museum, and thence to Owen's College. He was secretary,
vice-president and president, of the Literary and Philosophical
Society of Manchester, and read many of his ninety-four
mostly geological publications, before it, and there made the
acquaintance of Mr. James Young, F. R. S., LL. D., the
Scotch chemist, employed in the Chemical Works, at Ard-
wick, then residing in Manchester. Mr. Young told Mr.
Binney that the Scotch Boghead coal, and coal pit shale, con-
tained a good deal of paraffine, which Mr. Binney thought
worth extracting, and so told Mr. Young, after several conver-
sations, each suspected the other was about to enter into a
speculation in the matter, and in fact, they both met
in Edinburgh, and on the same pursuit, they then formed
a partnership, and took a place at Leigh, to try the
experiment, which was so successful that they took out a
patent, and it proved very profitable, they finally sold it to a
limited company, for £120,000. Mr. Binney retired from
business with a large fortune. He purchased a beautiful resi-
dence called " Ravenscliffe," in Douglass, Isle of Man, over-
looking the harbor, and where he spent his summers, and his
winters in Manchester. As a geologist, especially of the
coal counties of England, he stood one of the foremost in
rank. He liked to encourage the study of nature among the
working classes, assisting and lecturing to them, and taking
them on his geological excursions. He was intimate with
Samuel Bamford, and Mr. Richard Buxton, author of Flora
Mancancenm, the old and refined botanist, the poor and
uneducated, yet refined and learned " gentleman," with a
quick temper, and scorn of empirics. Mr. Binney had a good
heart, and did much good with his means. His power of

observation was acute. A friend of Mr. Binney, for 40 years,
speaks of him in the highest terms.
The late Mr. Amos Binney of Boston, Mass., in company
with the late Professor Rogers, of Boston U. S., met Mr.
Binney at a meeting of geologists in 1849, at Swansea, Wales,
of which Edward Wm. Binney, was an active and influential
member. His father told him, when he married to obtain a
good and healthy wife, above all things, if she had not a second
shift to her back. Mr. Binney married in 1856, Mary Christiana,
daughter of David Jones, Rector of Hope Bagot, near Lud-
low, County of Salop, whose brother is Vicar of Ellsthorpe,
and one sister who married Davis, of Bowdon ; another
married Mr. Bradney.

internal disease. She was a bright intelligent woman, an
affectionate wife and mother, her grief at the loss of her hus-
band, is supposed to have hastened her death.

Mr. Binney wrote to the writer of this in 1873, " our race
is a good, hard, sound and robust constitutioned one." In
1875, he wrote "that his grandmother was Elizabeth Casson,
of Thorne, in the County of Yorke, a Quakeress, as appears
from her gravestone, at Worksop. Your ancestor John Bin-
ney, of Hull, Mass., U. S., is I imagine, connected with the
first Benjamin Binney, of Worksop, Notts, who was son of
William Binney, who died in 1643. I send you a copy of the
Worksop Register, relative to Binneys, and copies of all the
inscriptions, now remaining of the old tomb and gravestones
there, and of those since 1 700, and extracts of records from
old family Testaments."

Jane (Walker) Binney, born in Morton, 183 1 ; married 1866,

corn merchant of Neath, Glamorganshire, S. Wales. Mr.
Binney resided 1866, in Adelaide; in 1884-5, in Melbourne,
as a wine merchant. He died suddenly Aug. 9, 1885, aged
54, at Atherton-ponds; Victoria, where his widow resided in
1885. He was very large and stout, weighing over 19 stone,
was of a genial temper and was in good circumstances, after
several ups and downs in a new country, yet like the old
family saying : "you may knock a Binney down, but you can't
keep him down." He as well as others of his father's family,
used the Scotch Binney Arms per Burke's heraldry, which the
Worksop branch did but with this added motto, "Appetitus
Ratione Parenti.'

four miles from Sheffield; died 1812. In the Univer-
sal British Directory for 1790, Joseph Binney of Shef-
field, was a pen and pocket knife cutler. "The Sheffield
branch is likely to be allied to the Worksop branch, those
places being only about 18 miles apart, though there is no
tradition in our family of any relationship."

Sheffield, is also brother of Joseph and Arthur
John : Joseph says "his grandfather Joseph,
the cutler and merchant of Sheffield, was a
younger brother (?) of Mordecai Binney, of
Worksop," as he believes. See his letter Shef-

old one of Sheffield, there are other Binneys
there. "Some members of the family, and one of
my uncles went, I believe to Illinois, about forty
years ago (1846?), perhaps this was the Joshua
or Benjamin Binney, near Logansport, Ind."
Joseph 51, Benjamin 55, 56, and Joshua 57, were relatives
of each other.

phia, with her daughter Harriet Binney, and died April 10,
1875, in her 85th year
Archibald Binney left Scotland for political reasons, having
written against the Government, He emigrated at an early
age or shortly before 1796, to the United States, and was for
many years settled in Philadelphia, Pa., where he soon after
engaged in type foundry business, and associated with him
in that business, his friend James Ronaldson, under the firm
of " Binney & Ronaldson," which was very successful and
lucrative, and was one of, if not the first, successful type
foundry establishments, in the United States. Mr. Joseph
Binney (53), of the Sheffield Branch, wrote to the writer of
this from Philadelphia, in 1849, " tnat tne ^ rm °f Bin-
ney & Ronaldson, earned an eminent and enviable reputation
in their business throughout the United States." Mr. Archi-
bald Binney materially aided our Government, in a financial way
in the war of 18 12. He retired from business and settled at
his family residence " Porto Bello," in St. Mary's Co., Mary-
land, just before the breaking out of the war of 1812, and

there passed the remainder of his life, until his decease, Wed-
nesday 25th April, 1838, in the 75th year of his age, and was
interred in the Episcopal church yard there. His daughter
Harriet wrote :
"On Saturday last, 25th May, 1873, m y motner celebrated
her 83d birth day. Her mental faculties are now too
much impaired to write you or give reliable information on
the subject of her family. John, the first son of Mr. Archi-
bald Binney, was the one who wrote you in 1849, an d Archi-
bald his half brother is the one you referred to as in New Or-
leans. I send you a photo of my father Archibald Binney,
from an old oil painting of some years since, poorly executed,
and a good one of my mother, taken when seventy-seven years
old. The family record was unfortunately lost on removal from
Maryland to Philadelphia, some years since, with many valua-
ble papers of our family, and some relative to French Spoila-
tion, in which my mother's family were deeply interested. I
believe my father had two sisters ; Margaret, wife of
Dunbar, and Elizabeth, wife of the late Gen. Alexander
Trotter, of Mereton Hall, hear Edinburgh, Scotland. She
with her two daughters Catherine and Johanna, and a son
Alexander, emigrated to the United States, and settled in
Philadelphia, and are all deceased. John the brewer, his son
John and Archibald, spelt the name Binny without the e, but
the family have since added it, and spell Binney."
" No venture in the type founding (in the United States)
was successful until about 1798, when Binney and Ronaldson,
established themselves by State aid in Philadelphia. The
type founding tools and materials, imported by Benjamin
Franklin, from France, for his own use, fell into the hands of
Binney and Ronaldson" (says a writer in Harper's Magazine^
March, 1875) ; but his daughter Harriet Binney writes from
224 Binney Genealogy.
906 Spruce St., Philadelphia, July 12, 1875. "The above
needs correction : my father Archibald Binney, most surely
established his type foundry alone and in his own name, and
afterwards when his friend James Ronaldson, became unfortu-
nate by the burning of his biscuit bakery, my father from motives
of genuine friendship, associated him as his partner in
his type foundry, though Mr. Ronaldson then knew nothing
whatever about the making of types. I think it also a mis-
take that Binney and Ronaldson received State aid. The
first type foundry tools used by my father in his establish-
ment, he brought with him to this country ; they were seized
on their arrival in New York, but owing to the potent influ-
ence of money, were restored to him. Recently in my
mother's desk, I came across an old medal, the upper side has
my father's likeness upon it, with the inscription ' A. Binny,
Letter Founder,' the reverse side has upon it, I think a
printing press with the implements used in making type, with
the Goddess Minerva holding a laurel branch, also the
inscription * Letter Foundry of Philadelphia, established An 6 .
1796' (not 1798, as Harper s Magazine, has it)."
Miss Harriet Binney sent the writer July 31 1875, two
large photographs of the medal, one of each side, on which his,
Archibald Binny's name is spelt Binny.

The family came from the northern part of Northumber-

wrote: " That when he was a boy, his father did not use the
e in the name (and spelt Binny), but we boys thought it looked
better with it, and we changed it to Binney. A tradition
was in the family, that some great uncle sailed away to the
west and settled in the United States of America." He has
no knowledge of the Sheffield or Wakefield Binneys, in fact,
Rev. Dr. Thomas Binney knew little, and cared less about
his ancestors, and only knew his father and grandfather bore
the name of John.

As Rev. Thomas Binney requested that no biography of him-
self should be published by his executors, we gather the fol-
lowing from a slight account of him, and from the published
account of the funeral services, and partial biography, London,
1874, and other sources.
Mr. Binney was educated at Weymondley College, Herts.,
England, was for twelve months minister at Bradford; then
minister of an independent Congregational Chapel, in St.
James St., Newport, Isle of Wight, for five years. In 1829
he was ordained and assumed the pastorate of the King's
Weigh-house Chapel, in London, for 40 years, until 1871,
when he resigned. From 1825 he published many books,
tracts, essays and sermons, mainly on religious subjects and was
author of the hymn beginning " Eternal Light, Eternal
Light," Some thirty of his books, &c, are mentioned in the
Boston Evening Transcript, of Feb. 25, 1874. In his youth
he served several years with a bookseller, from 7 a. m , to 8
p. M., daily, and sometimes from 6 A. M., to 10 P. M. In
1845 he visited the United States and Canada. In 1857 he

visited the Australian Colonies, where all of his four sons were
settled, being absent two years, and preached and lectured
many times there. He received the degree of LL. D., from
the University of Aberdeen, and that of D. D. from the
United States. He was persecuted by some Ecclesiastics of
the Church of England, but ably and successfully defended
himself in lectures and letters. In 1869 he retired from
active ministerial duties. In 1872 he filled the chair of Homi-
letics in New College lecturing weekly, to 1873, an< ^ was
chairman of the Council of that College several years. He
visited Europe several times for health and rest, proceed-
ing as far as Egypt. In 1848, he was chairman of the Con-
gregational Union of England and Wales. He was in the
ministry 50 years, and had a wonderfully attractive power
over young men. He preached his last sermon in West-
minster Chapel. In 1874, he made his last visit to High-
gate. He felt that his last illness, was such, and was greatly
impressed with the great and numerous offerings of affection,
and esteem and sympathy at that time. He had as many
others have had, periods of gloom and doubt, probably caused
by over work, then he traveled and soon threw it off. He
was buried in Abney Park Cemetery, beside his sister. Dr.
Stanley, Dean of Westminster, concluded the services at his
grave. There were thirty-three mourning coaches, besides
many private carriages in the procession of one-third of a mile
long; the following services were at Stamford Hill Chapel, some
distant relatives were chief mourners ; from the Chapel they
proceeded to Mr. Binney's house, Upper Clapton. Some
5000 people were at the grave, and along the entire route
blinds were closed, and every mark of respect shown. The
stone pulpit and table in the Chapel, were draped in black.
The applications for admission to it were so numerous, that
tickets of admission were issued. All ranks and sects filled it

members of Parliament, Peers, professors, travelers, minis-
ters, among whom the very Rev. Dean Stanley, who wore the
skull cap he wears in Westminster Abbey. The 90th
Psalm, one of Dr. Blow's solid harmonies, a funeral chant of
non-conformists, of Puritans and Covenanters (and which
Hampden's stern troopers sounded, bearing his body over
Buckwither's Hilis to Hampden Church yard), was sung,
and so he was laid at rest.
A Philadelphia Newspaper in 1850, says: " Rev. Thomas
Binney of London, is, taking him all in all, the most elo-
quent divine in England. He is very tall, something over six
feet, his head is a splendid one, his forehead is gigantic, and
his eyes are beautifully black and expressive, his face is full
and round, and his thoughts show themselves upon it as plainly
as if written in alphabetical characters. His hair is dark au-
burn, his hands small and nervous, and his whole body finely
strung, notwithstanding his giant frame and apparent coarse-
ness. His continued uneasiness, twitching of the face, head
and body, prove this at once to a stranger. I saw that his
genius was an erratic one before he spoke, there was an
unique look which is scarcely ever to be mistaken. He got up
to read a portion of scripture, gave a comical shrug, and com-
menced reading a beautiful psalm. He read it touchingly,
his voice was remarkably sweet, at times a feminine softness
in it surprised me, as he went on his face grew radiant with
smiles, and before he was half through, I wondered that I
had not before discovered the wonderful beauty of the psalm
he was reading. So it is ever with genius, it has the power
not only to create, but discover beauty. His prayer was
short, but I think it surpassed all, that ever I heard in my
life, in touching fervor, simplicity and beauty. His face looked
as if Heaven was dawning upon it. Henry Vincent, the most
popular and effective out door orator in Britain, has the same
Binney Genealogy. 231
power of face, of expressing his heart upon his countenance,
only with Thomas Binney, it is chaster, holier, and more
heavenly. Vincent, expresses the more turbulent passions,
while Binney pictures forth pure love, a child's faith, holiness
and serene beauty. He speaks without notes."
The whole of Mr. Bartlett's account is so good that it
should be given entire. Grief for the death of his first wife,
injured his health, and he traveled in the United States, incog,
he returned improved, and again married. In conversation he
is agreeable, but not very voluble. As a man he is dearly loved
by thousands, and adored as a pulpit orator.
The "London Christian Times," June 1, 1849, has a long
and interesting account of him and his preaching. It is rather
singular that so eminent and independent a preacher, should
have such narrow views of the creed or belief of others differing
from his own, especially about Unitarians, " whom he consid-
ered little better than Heathens, and hardly to be saved."
The late Wm. Ropes, Esq., of Boston, said he heard Mr.
Binney when in London, several times ; he was a powerful
thinker and speaker. Rev. Wm. Taylor calls him " the
Nestor of the English Congregational Union. The Arch
Bishop and Patriarch by character and ability, though not in
name, of the British non-conformists." George Gilfallan
called him the most popular writer in London. Rev. Dr.
Hibbert Binney, a distinguished Church of England preacher,
wrote " that Mr. Binney was a distinguished dissenting min-
ister."
From the many articles in newspapers, periodicals, &c, pub-
lished about Mr. Binney, and from a part of which a few
selections are made, are the following : Rev. Henry D.
Northrup's published account says: "In person, Mr. Binney is
tall and well proportioned, some have compared his physique to
that of Daniel Webster, a high forehead, a large and pleasant
232 Binney Genealogy.
eye, full face, florid complexion, and dignified appearance
combine to render him a noble specimen of a man. At the
commencement of the service and in parts of it throughout,
his voice is low and grum, at times his utterances are loud and
impassioned, when aroused, he is lion-like in power, but it is
always the power of heart-earnestness, along with physical
force. He rises slowly to deliver his message, puts on his
spectacles, reads his text, glances at his meagre notes, passes
his fingers through his hair, takes out his handkerchief,
scratches his upper lip with the tip of his long forefinger,
puts up the thumb of one hand, and lays the finger of the
other very significantly upon it, passes his hands again through
his hair, &c, but all these false motions mean something, the
idea is worth waiting for, slowly he weaves a garment for his
hearers to wear, it is both lasting and large, occasionally he
fires up and becomes animated, but generally addresses the
understanding, closing perhaps with a solemn appeal." He
has a strong hatred of heresy.
In 1848, iMr. Binney sent the writer a copy of his " Service
of Song, a Christmas evening book," and with it, he writes :
" I happen to be of the tribe of authors ; I don't know what
your religious sentiments or views may be, but I venture to
hope, that whatever they are, you will find some portions of
this little book to interest you. I shall be greatly delighted
and pleased if there be any of my young namesakes, any
youths or maidens of the Binney family, whose tastes and
sentiments as to piety, poetry or song, may receive gratifica-
tion from these few pages, by one of their name." He also
sent a very fine steel engraving of himself, and a small full
length photograph also. He concludes with : " wishing you
dear sir, and all of our name, every where, all temporal
mercies and all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ,
I am very truly and respectfully yours,
"Thomas Binney."

APPENDIX.
THE BINNEY FAMILY IN ENGLAND.
Families of this name with the variations in spelling of Byn-
ney, Binney, Binny or Binnie, have been found in the British
Isles, the United States, the British Provinces, the West
Indies and Australia, but are not numerous in either country.
Some of these families are connected and although others have
no connection with any family of the same name in the United
States, an account of them is inserted in this volume, because
some of them have resided here for a time, others may here-
after remove to this country or a connection may be made
between the ancestors of some of these famililes and the
families who early came to this country.
No account of the modern families spelling their name
Beney, Benny or Benney, of which there are many, is included
in this volume, except of Capt. John Beney, whose grave-
stone with those of his wife and son is in the old Granary
Burying Ground in Boston, because his name upon old re-
cords and in books is sometimes spelled Binney, and he might
therefore be supposed to^belong to some of the properly Bin-
ney Families. In former times the name Benney was some-
times writen Binney, and even to this day Binney is some-
times erroneously written and pronounced Benney. A list is
added of individual names whose owners are not known to
belong to any of the other families who are described in this
volume.
236 Binney Genealogy.
In several English families of the name there have been
traditions that an ancestor or l< cousin " had emigrated to
America in early times, but we have not yet been able to
connect John Binney of Hull, 1680, who is the ancestor of
most of the Binneys in America, with any family on the other
side. As this John Binney died in 1698, only eight years
after the birth of his youngest child, he was probably not very
old at the time of his death and may therefore have been born
between 1640 'and 1660, but he is probably of the Worksop
branch which was originally from Scotland.
The other Binneys who came to the United States can
usually give the names of their parents, or grandparents in Eng-
land, so that their descendants know in what direction to
commence their researches in their attempt to traee their an-
cestors to the Doomsday Book.
BINNEY FAMILIES IN THE UNITED STATES.
The earliest mention of any person of the name of Binney
in the United States, which we have yet been able to find, is
that given by the town records of Hull, in Massachusetts,
here is recorded the births of the younger children of John and
Mercy Binney, and of their grandchildren. These younger
children of John and Mercy were born 1682 to 1690 As
the first town clerk of Hull was not appointed until 1693,
the record could not have been made for many years after the
events had taken place, and was probably in accordance with
a Law of the General Court and plan of the clerk's to collect
together the births of those born in Hull, viz. "A Record of
the children born in Hull, and a record of the persons who died in
Hull " is the heading of the book, and many families are entered
together on the same page, interpolated among the records of
later vears. From the omission of the names of the two elder
children of John and Mercy, and the absence of any mention
of John Binney elsewhere earlier upon the records, in the
division of land, assessments of taxes, appointments of town
officers &c., it is presumed that he was not long in the place,
but had come there with his wife Mercy and two children.
He probably inherited or bought out one of the original proprie-
tors as his name afterwards is found on the records in deeds,
&c, as one of the proprietors. None of the name are now in
Hull, but most, if not all of the descendants of John and Mercy,
have been traced to other places, and are now found scattered
through the continent, from Nova Scotia and New Bruns-
wick to California, with branches in Australia, New Zealand,
England and Ireland. The first portion of the foregoing pages
is devoted to a genealogical record of eight generations of this
238 Binney Genealogy.
family, including some account of those families who have
intermarried with the Binneys,
Besides John Binney of Hull, there other persons of the
name who came to America later, some of whom have de-
scendants now living in the United States, who are described
in the latter part of this volume.
*Two letters from Hon. James Savage about his supposition of the origin of the
Binney name in Hull, Mass., are given further on wherein he promised to correct in
his Genealogical Dictionary that error, but did not. Solomon Lincoln, Esq., of Hing-
ham, followed with the same error, from Mr. Savage, supposing Binney and Bunn
were the same.
SURMISES OF THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME.
By some supposed from Normandy or France from the
name " Bienne " pronounced Bi-enne, a place in Normandy.
The French pronunciation* Be-ane, — German Be-en, a
place in Switzerland, from which latter country, the emigration
has at times been great. The name may have been brought
to England by some of the German speaking Swiss, whom
the commotions of the 1 6th century, or whom traffic brought
over. Possibly the name may be derived from " Biene,"
German, for bee, a figure for industry, perhaps transferred by
the early settlers in England, from their former dwellings, as
the places in England are in part from places of those who
came from Scandanavia and Normandy. Bena, Benae, Benna,
are names of an ancient Thracian City. In Cole's Latin
Dictionary, 16th edition, 1742, is Baienne, a town in Bavaria,
perhaps the same as Bienne now in Switzerland. Greek
bats (baees), a palm branch, gives the Greek word bainas e,
and on, as varied 1. e. ba-ee-ney, &c, made of palm branches,
palmy, bearing palms.
Willembach de Bienne, was of the clergy of Berne, Sept.,
I5 2 5 (Daughbigny's History of the great reformation of the
16th Century, Vol. 3, Carter's edition, New York, 1843).
French bini {bee-ney), a monk companion, is the Latin bint,
twins a pair, &c. ; French, ben'et bee-ne, is a savall, and bent
ie. baney, is blessed, praise. The name of Binny in " old
British " signifies a fish, called a barbel, very plentiful in the
River Idle, on one of the tributaries of which Worksop, in
Notts, is situated ; where is the ruins of the old Abby
Church, whose Parish Church Records or Register, begins in
1558 j in the church yard of which, the " Binneys of
240 Binney Genealogy.
Worksop, have buried some two hundred and fifty or thr ee
hundred years," and on which register the Binney Family
names appear from 1594, down to 1700, " tradition says
the name was there before the register began." Bigne,
French, one of the name was chaplain to King John,
and followed him to England after the battle of Poictiers,
Benney, Pentre and Porthmorthoumy ; lands of that name
in the County of Brecknockshire, Wales. " Binny Craigs,"
east and west, in the Royal borough of Linlithgow, 17 miles
from Edinburgh, Scotland, one of them is five hundred feet
high. Linlithgow Castle, was taken by stratagem, by Wm.
Binnock, by connivance with Bruce. The Binnings of Wal-
lyford, this name is supposed to be merged into Binny, Bin-
ney. The place was presented to the family of Hamilton,
after the Revolution of 1 7 1 5. Thomas Hamilton in 1613,
was created Baron Binning, and Earl of Melrose, which he
afterwards changed to that of Haddington in 16 19, bred to
the law, created Baron, by King James VI., was secretary of
of State, Lord advocate and register of the College of Justice,
1627, appointed Lord Privy seal and held that office ten years,
several of his descendants had the title of " Lord Binny."
The name " Benny " appears in Leland's list, copied from
the original battle rolls of the battle of Hastings, Oct. 14,
1066, taken by order of William the Conqueror, directly after
the battle, in which with 60,000 followers and at a loss of
15,000, defeated and slew the English King Harold the 2d,
with a large loss of his men. This name " Benny ' appears
in the Doomsday book, which William caused to be made, it
was begun in 1086, of persons holding lands direct from the
King, previous to the survey, one of whom was " Leninus
Benne," in the County of SufF., Eng., this may be the same
as the one in that battle, and probably came over with Duke
William from Normandy, whose followers, says Leland,
Binney Genealogy. 241
were composed of noblemen, gentlemen of the first rank, with
others from France, Flanders, Britanny and Normandy came
with him on his invitation and promise of lands and other
honors. William confiscated the estates of those who fought
under Harold, and bestowed them on his followers, who were
particular to see that their names were on fhat roll, ever after
considered a title or mark of honor. And most families in
England trace their name or origin to names on that roll.
William built a battle abbey on the field of battle, and the roll
was long preserved there. It was supposed afterwards to have
been carried to Gowdrv House and perished with that house
by fire, in 1793. Henry 8th gave the site and lands of the
Abbey to Sir Anthony Browne, ancestor of Viscount Monta-
gue, this family sold it to Thomas Webster, Bart., whose
family still hold it, they resided at their other seat Gowdry
house near Mid hurst.

land between 1780 and 1790, when he was told by the cele-
brated physician Dr. Bucannan, that he was undoubtedly
descended from the early Earls of Haddington, the oldest son
of whom had the title of Binning, till lately Binny, though
their family name was Hamilton.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
Capt. Barnabas Binney (15), of Boston.
Was a merchant of Boston, and also, commanded his vessel,
in which he traded to the West Indies, &c. He left a large
estate. His inventory consisted of five long pages. It is said
he owned plantations and negroes in Demerara, but they were
not mentioned in the inventory of his estate, that mentioned
X73 of silver plate. His will was carried off from Boston to
Halifax, by the Tory judge of Probate, when he left with
others in the British fleet, and the executors had to send there
to obtain a copy of it and certified : the three heirs each had a
third of £8743 8.?., less depreciation of money, leaving
<£7>395, i6j. $d.
There is a charge for " hire of a chaise to take Mrs. Binney
out of town " during its occupancy by British troops.
He also owned jointly with Rev. Dr. Stillman. tomb No.
85 in the Granary burying ground, Boston, in the wall, in rear
of the "Tremont House," which previously had been owned
by Dea. J. Gibben. It still stands to those owners on the books
at City Hall, Boston, and was in good condition when opened
in 1849. Capt. Barnabas Binney gave Dr. Stillman half of
the tomb.
'Capt. Barnabas Binney belonged to the " Sons of Liberty,"
and his name is mentioned in the list of the " Sons" who dined
at Liberty tree, Dorchester, Aug. 14, 1769 ; about 300 dined,
out of 355 belonging to it.
During the occupancy of Boston by the British troops, they
selected such houses as suited them to reside in, and used Capt.

Binney's, and held high orgies there, and after dinner they
used the portraits on the walls as targets ; that of Capt. Bin-
ney's wife Avis (Engs), had several marks of such usage ; the
portrait was mislaid or missing for some time after the settle-
ment of his estate, but was finally lound by Mr. Payson and
transferred to Hon. Horace Binney of Philadelphia, who had it
restored, and since his decease, it has belonged to his son,
Hon. William Binney, now of Newport, R. I. The writer
saw it a few years since in a poor light, but could not examine
it for any marks of the painter. He was disappointed in not
receiving a photo, from it and having a heiiotype of it inserted
in the book. She was a remarkable woman and was thought
highly of by those who knew her.
Dr. Barnabas Binney (60), p. 66.
Senior surgeon in the Revolutionary army, and in one of its
hospitals. Great success followed his practice of medicine in
Philadelphia, where he settled after the war, with the confi-
dence and esteem of the community. In 1786, failing health,
induced him to give up practice and after placing his affairs in
perfect order, he started with his wife for Berkeley Springs, but
died on his return at the house of a friend. His intellectual
powers, fine learning, strength of principle, decision and en-
ergy in action, with " a delicacy of passion," and poetic
talents, were appreciated. He was a friend of the lamented
General Warren. " He was the most eloquent man I ever
met with," wrote the late Epes Sargent of Boston. The fol-
lowing anecdotes were related by the late eminent physician,
Dr. Marshall Spring, of Watertown, Mass., who married
Dr. Barnabas Binney's widow. " During his Revolutionary
services as surgeon in the army, while passing after the battle,

near the abandoned pile of men, laid aside for burial, he
thought he perceived signs of life in one of the heaps, upon
examination he discovered that the subject had been cut with
a sabre lengthwise down the abdomen and that the bowels had
been let loose, without other injury ; the man had fainted
from loss of blood ; he was removed and the surtures per-
formed. The soldier lived for many years after, and became
a farmer, and was accustomed to pay an annual visit to the
Doctor, evincing his gratitude by a present of a fine cheese,
a barrel or two of cider or apples.
Mrs. Ellet, in her " Women of the Revolution," relates this
anecdote of Dr. Barnabas Binney and Deborah Sampson, who
served in male attire several years in the American army as
" ShurtlifF," without discovery of her sex. " Dr. Binney in
going the rounds of the hospital, discovered that a soldier
named ShurtlifF was nearly dead with fever, having a bandage
over the breast, on removing this to his surprise he discovered
the patient to be a woman ; with true delicacy, he said nothing
of his discovery, but had the " soldier," as such, removed to
his house in Philadelphia, where, as a soldier, she was care-
fully attended. The discovery of his sex was not known by
the family, though Deborah, suspected it was known to the
Doctor attending her ; she keenly watched his countenance,
but could find no evidence of it." Mrs. Ellet speaks in a
sensational way of a niece of Dr. Binney falling in love with
the soldier, offering to educate and marry him, and the anguish
of Deborah on this account. A son of Dr. Binney wrote,
that the first part of the story is probably true, there was a
tradition to that effect in the family, but the story of the niece
is not true, for neither Dr. Binney or his wife, at that time
(probably 1781 or 2), had any niece older than three or four
years. The niece of Dr. Binney of that age, was the oldest
daughter of Dr. Binney's sister, Mrs. Ann Anthony, then
248 Binney Genealogy.
with her parents in New England. On the recovery of the
pretended soldier, Dr. Binney had a long conference with the
Commander of the regiment, in which she had served several
years undiscovered, and with the strictest propriety of behav-
iour. The result was, that the soldier was sent with a letter
to General Washington at head-quarters. She then suspected
that she was discovered, but obeyed ; General Washington
read the letter in private, came into the room where the
soldier was waiting, said not a word, put into her hand a letter
of good advice and a discharge, with a sum of money to take
her home. For this forbearance she was truly grateful. It
appears that after her return home to New England, she re-
sumed her sex's attire, married and afterwards drew a pension
for her services.*
Dr. Marshall Spring of Watertown, Mass., married Mary
the widow of Dr. Barnabas Binney, and she with her young
children by her first husband, removed to Watertown. " She
died Nov. 9, 1793, aged 37" (inscription on the Marshall
Spring family tomb in Watertown), leaving one child only by
that marriage, Marshall Binney Spring, born Aug. 30, 1792;
Harvard College, 1812; married in 1816, Miss Eliza
Willing, daughter of Charles Willing, of Philadelphia, -and
grand-daughter of Thomas Willing, first President of the
United States Bank of Philadelphia. Marshall Binney Spring
died Sept. 17, 1825, his wife died previously, leaving four
children. One daughter married Mr. Wharton, of Philadel-
phia, and the other married Edward Newton Perkins, of
Jamaica Plains, Roxbury, Mass. Dr. Marshall Spring, of
Watertown, voted "no" in the convention for the ratification of
the constitution in 1788. He was a mild lory, but from kind-

ton Common, going through the manual of arms and collected some money. There

in 1 797, Hannah Lee (per Bond's Watertown\ of Cambridge,
but had no children bv him.
Mrs. Susan (Binney) Wallace, daughter of Dr. Barnabas
Binney, a beautiful and accomplished woman, wrote a truthful
memoir of her father, published in the life of President Man-
ning of Brown University.
Spencer Binney, Sen. (54) of Hull.
Was a farmer of Hull, and cultivated much land there, was
an industrious and shrewd man. He sent his extra crop of
barley to John Binney, merchant of Boston, for sale. Spen-
cer Binney would engage all the Hull boys to help get his hav
into the barn, promising them a clam bake afterwards, when
it was all in, he took his oxen and plough and drove a long
furrow on the beach and set the boys to prepare the clams,
gather seaweed and driftwood, when the stones in the hole
were hot, he placed layers of seaweed and clams with fish and
ears of corn and also filled up the hole, when sufficiently done,
they had a delicious feast. He raised a large family, and was a
prosperous farmer. He resided in the mansion house built
by his grandfather Dea. John, 2 a square house, which was
taken down a tew years since. On taking it down a shower
of fine beach sand came from the ceiling of the second story
floor on the workmen, supposed to have accumulated by the
constant scouring trie floors underwent before the time of car-
pets. Two or three teaspoons much battered, were found
under the sink, marked " S. B." for Spencer Binney, and
were kept as relics by the finder.

A region of repose it seems." — Longfellow.
It was built by Dea. John Binney, on part of his father
John's land, between 1704, and Dea. John's marriage, 1732.
In his inventory 1760, the homestead and building were men-
tioned. After his death his son Capt. Amos Binney, Sen.,
resided till his death, 1778, when it fell to the latter's son
Spencer Binney, Sen. After the death of the latter's widow,
Molly (Jones) Binney, it was sold to John Mitchel, and after
his death, Mr. Edw. G. Knight bought it, took it down, and
out of the sound materials built a new house on the site.
See the photo of it.
The Old House of Amos Binney, Jr., of Hull.
"Through days of sorrow and of mirth.
Through days of death and birth,
Through every swift vicissitude
Of changeful time — unchanged, has stood."
This house is a small two story one on the South Main St.,
of Hull, with a small front yard, and is said to have been built
by Henry Chamberlin of Hull, of oak, cut on the place,
in the style of that time, 1757 to 1760, and is about 156 years
old. The oak beams overhead in the lower story are half
exposed through the ceiling. Abraham, son of Thomas
Jones, married Elizabeth Lobdell, of Hull, and resided in this
house next to his father. He and wife removed to Boston,
Binney Genealogy. 251
and May 17, 1 768, deeded it and five acres of land to Amos
Binney, Sen., of Hull. Amos Binney, Jr. was married May
31, 1770, to Mary, daughter of Rev. Solomon Prentice, form-
erly of Grafton, Mass. The heirs of Amos Binney, Jr.,
sold the house after 1798 (see the photo of it). At one time
since, a gilt ball hung on the north-west end for a hotel. It
is now, 1886, occupied by Mr. Jos. Pope, Post-master, and is
yet a good house.
The house that John 1 Binney, Sen., lived in between the
parsonage house (built about 1642-4, and is yet a good house),
and the house that his son Dea. John 2 built, has been down
many years, and probably resembled the small old gambril roof
house opposite (in 1886). The writer once saw the hollow of
the cellar where it stood many years since.
Col. Amos Binney (87), pp. 79, 80.
He was 5 years old when his father died, and then and until
he went to earn his own living in Boston, in 1793, was °*
great help to his mother. He early embraced religion in the
Methodist Church, in Boston, excepting some teaching at
home, his native energy enabled him to acquire a good educa-
tion, he was a self-made man, and the architect of his own
fortune. After a short term in a store, he began business for
himself, and also acted for several in Probate Office business.
He was appointed navy agent for the Port of Boston, in 181 2,
and remained in it till 1826. During the war of j 8 r 2, with
the aid of " Billy " Gray, and Commodore Hull, by his untir-
ing exertions, he was enabled to fit out the " Constitution Frig-
ate," in season to capture the " Gueriere." He was a great
friend and aid to several churches, and to the Wilbraham
Academy, which has his portrait on their walls. In early
youth with knapsack on his back, he traveled over most of the
252 Binney Genealogy.
New England states, and acquired much knowledge of the coun-
try, its geology and resources. He was Captain in 1808, in
the Legionary Brigade, and Lt. Colonel in 1813, of the 1st
regiment Infantry, 3d brigade, 1st Division of Massachusetts
Militia, and subsequently Colonel of it. During the war of
1812, our Government wanted funds, and he procured them
by disposing at a discount treasury notes from Washington ;
many hesitated to purchase them, but Wm. Gray, Esq., and
some others were shrewd and clear sighted enough to pro-
cure them on favorable terms. Our navy was not thought
able then to cope with that of England, but the capture by the
" Constitution " soon changed that idea. He belonged to a
Masonic Lodge. He was president of the Vermont Copperas
Works, which he started; interested in Iron and Glass works,
the latter of which was in East Cambridge, President of the
Worcester R. R., and of the Market Bank, Boston. A service
of plate was presented him for saving from conflagration "Joy's
Building," Boston, by purchasing bales of blankets and having
them nailed on the building and kept wet. He was a steady
friend and patron of American manufactures. He became
well known to the community as an honest, upright, conscien-
tious, able and energetic man, possessing extraordinary talents
for business in the various corporations and public institutions
to which he belonged. He was liberal to the deserving and
remembered the ministers of his persuasion and relatives espe-
cially at " Thanksgiving " time. In 1829, he had a serious
bilious attack, his last illness some what similar, in 1833,
found him with a constitution enfeebled by constant application
during the day and far into the night. His funeral was at-
tended by " Father Taylor," Mr. Paul of the African Church,
and many others. He first introduced the Methodist worship
in Hull, by taking there Rev. Daniel Ostrander, in 1797, and.
Rev. Jesse Lee.

He was tall, stout, of dark or bilious complexion, black hair
and eyes. A gold ring which was presented him marked "R.C."
he wore till death, then his son Dr. Amos wore it till his
death, and now the 6th Amos, son of the latter's son Amos,
has it in Walpole, Mass.
Capt. John Binney (88), pp. 79, 80
Merchant of Boston, like his brother Col. Amos Binney
(87), with a slight education in early years, soon sought busi-
ness in Boston, to aid his mother and her family. He was a
self-made man, acquired an extensive knowledge of men and
business, by extensive reading. In 1807, was Captain of
the North End Artillery, Boston, and offered the services of
his company to the President of the United States, and be-
longed to Ancient and Honorable Artillery Co., there in 180 1.
In 1808, was commissioned as Capt. of the 4th Regiment of
United States Infantry, and ordered to the command of Fort
Edgecomb, Wiscasset, and the others in its vicinity, and re-
sided in Wiscasset. The old fort remains, the "block house"
on it is preserved by the people of Wiscasset, as a relic, and
is yet in good order. He marched with his company in 18 13,
to the northern frontier during the war, at its close he resigned
in 1 8 14, and declined a commission, and returned to Bos-
ton, as a merchant; was a large ship owner. President of the
North and Granite Banks, which he established, and also the
Tremont Insurance Co., which under his management, was
very prosperous. He was nn alderman of Boston, and a
member of the house of Representatives in 1831. His por-
trait by Harding, in 1 835, is preserved. He was of a sound and
discriminating mind, of good judgment, active and enterprising,

of a lively social disposition, of medium height ; in the prime
of life, stout, .^ark hair and eyes, and florid complexion. He
used to tell, that when a boy in Hull, Spencer Binney, Sen.,
used to pay him a cent an hour " to ride horse all day, to
plough."

Hon. Horace Binney (116).
Resided in Philadelphia, in winter, and in summer at Burling-
ton, N. J., and Bryn Mawe^Pa. He was a director of the
United States Bank, in Philadelphia ; president of the Contribu-
tion ship Insurance Co., Philadelphia, many years ; Senator in
Congress, 1808-9; head of the Philadelphia bar. His fame as
a lawyer, and most accomplished gentleman, was unsurpassed
in this country, and he was called the " Nestor and Father of
it." He was twice offered a seat in the Supreme Court, but
declined. He preferred a private life, surrounded by many
friends, and an affectionate family, to any public honors. The
writer met him in 1850, in Philadelphia, and found him of a large
and commanding appearance, with a quick bright eye, which
when excited lighted up with a quick bright sudden flash, and
a piercing look ; he was very courteous and polite, and con-
versed easily upon any subject, and was entirely the reverse of
Hon. Chas. Sumner's report of an interview aboard.
There are several portraits of him by Inman, Sully, Healey
and others and a miniature of him. The heliotype of him at the
age of 85, was inserted by one of his family, he died at 95
years. Two Vignetts of Hon. Horace Binney, were engraved
for the bills of the National Bank of Philadelphia.
256 Binkey Genealogy.
His power of speech in debate was great and forcible, sev-
eral were published. His defence of General Hull, was forci-
ble and correct.
Mr. Binney wrote much on law. He published privately
several treatises, one a Eulogy on Chief Justice Marshall, and
one on Chief Justice Tillingham, and a monograph on Washing-
ton's farewell address, proving him the author. He was much
interested in the History and Genealogy of the Binney Family,
and the Hull ancestors, and " did not want a better one than
Deacon John Binney." On a visit to Hull, he caused ex-
tracts to be made from the Town Records of the early Bin-
neys. He had old silver plate that had been in his family
over 100 years. Crest, an Ostrich with a key or. in his bill,
Shield, ar. y two horizontal bars, sa., with two scollop shells
in each bar, motto (since added) Tiens ta foy. " His maternal
grandmother Woodrow, thorough Scotch, of the Blood of the
historian of the covenanters, lived to the age of 91, and I
shall be glad to see her again as I saw her when a law student,
and was much delighted with her shewdness and savoir /aire.
Dea. John Binney of Hull, is an ancestor, I am very proud of.
The race from Scotland and England, is good enough for us,
and we are quite as good." Horace Binney's mother had some
correspondence in 1792, with Hon. Jonathan Binney, of Halifax.
She received an Indian work box, from Hibbert Newton Bin-
ney, of Halifax, with his initials " H. N. B.," worked on the
top. Hon. Horace Binney wrote Jan. 6, 1870, to Hugh
Blair Grigsby, Charlotte Court House, Va., " my first action
in public, was walking as one of the Philadelphia academy
boys in the Federal procession July 4, 1788, to celebrate the
adoption of the constitution successively by ten states; perhaps
the march to Brush-hill, tended to make me a strong constitu-
tionist ever since, * * * mine has been a life of health not

root of a very good constitution, passed in wholesome country
air and exercise from 8 to 18, nearly, and all the rest in this
city. I am devoutly thankful to God for his many mercies,
and have a strong sense of kindness for friends who sym-
pathise with me in my capacity to enjoy life." A relative
says " he died serenely of a gradual wasting of vital force,
take him for all in all, he was the noblest man that I ever
knew, or have read of."
Mathew Binney, (178) of Boston.
Was in the umbrella business in Court St., Boston, firm of
" Binney & Ellis." Since with his two sons Mathew, Jr. and
Charles E., at 94 Arch St., Boston. On his retiring in 1852,
from active business, he turned the business over to them
as " Mathew Binney's Sons." He resides in 1885, at No. 90
West Newton St., Boston, retaining a desk at his sons' store,
which he visits daily. He has taken much interest in the
Genealogy of the Binney Family, and has furnished much in-
formation of his branch.
Of late years he has attended to his real estate and other in-
vestments. In 1870, Mathew Binney, then of 13 Franklin
St., with Rev. Joseph Getchel Binney, who was then on a visit
from Burmah, placed a slab on the Binney tomb in Copp's
Hill Cemetery, Boston, and a square flat stone over the en-
trance, the slab bore this inscription " Tomb No. 72, built
1801, bv Benjamin, Amos, Joshua and John Binney, all born
in Hull, Plymouth Co., Mass. (owners of it), Amos died Jan.
n, 1833, aged 55, in Boston. John died April 16, 1838,
aged 58, in Boston. Benjamin died Jan. 16, 1844, aged 70,
in Cambridge. Joshua died Oct. 24, 1853, aged 76, in Cam-
bridge."
258 Binney Genealogy.
This tomb was built and owned-one fourth each by the
above four, and has been used by the families. The remains
of Col. Amos Binney's family, were removed to their family
lot in Mount Auburn, and those of John Binney's family and
his mother and first wife Sarah Ann (Callender) Binney, who
was interred in Wiscasset, Me., and those of his two sisters,
Miss Sally Binney, and Mrs. Nancy (Binney) Copeland, were
removed in 1840, to the lot of his son C. J. F. Binney, in
Mt. Auburn Cemetery.
