Preface.
There comes into the hfe of nearly every man a tmie
when he begins to reahze that there is a future which hes
before him and for the success of which he is in part responsi-
ble. In considering the future he must relate it to the present
and to the past, for on the foundations of the past much of
the strength of the future depends. In the same manner a
person becomes interested in the past history of his family
and at such a time he begins to collect from the older members
of his family such facts as may connect the past with the
present and give him information concerning the character
and life of those ancestors to whose parental care he owes
his existence. At this time too, the thought of having a
genealogy of hi> family appeals to him and if he cannot buy
one. the only course open to him is to coiupile one. In the
compilation of such a book many a man is content with a
history of his own family and his ancestors in a direct line
back as far as it is possible to obtain information concerning
.them. The compiler of the present work was less selfish in
hi< motives and went farther in the endeavor to relate all
people in America who bore the name "Xye".
The original purpose of this compiler, then, was to in-
clude all the decendants of Benjamin Xye who was the first
of the name to settle in America. But it was impossible to
accomplish this ^ince many people were not interested m a
genealogy and either ignored the repeated requests sent to
them asking for ilata regarding their family or absolutely
refused to give the information sought. This, of course, made
it impossible to get the names of a large number who might
have been interested, and willing and anxious to assist. }^Iore
than this many of the older members of the family whose
names were not known to the compilers, but wdiose memory

served as a connecting link between the past and the present
have died and with these deaths much valuable information
has been lost.
In offering this book to the public then, it is not intended
that it shall be taken as a complete genealogy of the Xve
I'amily but as a collection of valuable information carrying
the Nye Family back in a connected line for about seven hun-
dred years and enabling all who have any information of their
own whether published in the book or not to connect their
line back to that time.
The compilation of this work was first commenced by
Air. George H. Xye of Auburn, X. Y. He sent out many
letters of inquiry and the response to these was so great and
so rapid that the task of arranging the material thus obtained
was more than he could do with his other business duties.
He therefore employed ]Mr. Frank E. Best, a professional
genealogist, of Chicago to take what material he already had,
to obtain more and arrange the whole into such s'hape that
it could be published. The European history was obtained
and th.e line was completed from the time that the name
originated to the present.
All this necessarily involved a large expenditure of money
and many years of work and ]\lr. X'ye was about to let the
book stand as it was, when in 1903 the X^ve Family of Amer-
ica held its First Reunion at Sandwich. Mass. The interest
and enthusiasm of that reunion was such that he was
prompted to eivc the manuscript to the association there
formed, which he did at the second reunion with the request
that it be published. A committee on publication was ap-
pointed but they accomplished very little. However, in the
summer of 1906 that committee composed of Henry Alden
Belcher of Randolph, Mass., George H. Nye of Auburn, X'. Y.
and David J. Xye of Elyria, Ohio, and seven others, William
F. Xye of Xew Bedford, ]Mass., Allen T. Xye of Boston,
Mass., James L. Wesson of Boston, Mass., Elmer T. Xye of
East Georgia, \'t., Charles W'. Parker of Boston, Mass.. Mrs.
Flarriet X've Towne of Chillicothc, Ohio, and Fremont X've

of Westerly, R. I., volunteered to be responsilile for anv
expense connected with the publication of the work. This
assured the publication of the book and much credit is due to
these ten Members of the Association who have made it pos-
sible to place in more permanent form, records which other-
wise might always have remained in manuscript and have
been inaccessible to the majority of American Xyes.
The editor wishes to acknowledge the kindness of Mrs.
S. Curtis Smith of Xewton. ?^Iass., Secretary of the X\-e
Family of America Association in giving the use of her verv
valuable mailing list, in making many suggestions which have
been of great assistance in completing the book and for her
aid in obtaining pictures to be used as illustrations. Mr.
George M. Emmons of Russell, Mass.. is deserving of many
thanks for the chart of the ■"Blandford Xyes" which he so
kindly furnished and which has been inserted in the book.
The editor is also under great obligations to the many persons
who have so recently sent information, corrections and addi-
tions which when placed in the manuscript have increased in
great decree its accuracy. Lloth the Xye Family of America
Association and the editor are very grateful to all who sub-
scribed for copies of the book in advance, since the liberal
number of these subscriptions have enabled us to make the
bock more attractive than was at first contemplated.

Foreword.
Any Genealogy is necessarily imperfect, births, marriages
and deaths are constantly occurring, while change of residence
breaks many a link in the ancestral chain, and causes in con-
sequence many a disappointment. The reader should then
discard in advance any idea that the present work differs in
that respect from any other of its kir.d. What may then be
expected in this book is that those seeking information con-
cerning their ancestry may hope to <>btain for a moderate
outlay what could otherwise be secured only at great cost.
This information has been gathered through researc'hes of
many years, and at a large expenditure of time and money.
The Danish and English matter is taken from the records,
references being given in every instance, while the American
data were tabulated and completed by Mr. Frank E. Best.
That errors should occur in such a number of transcripts is
also to be expected, verifications of the P.il^le and other records
from which the information was obtained being impossible.
With the above explanation no further apologies are needed.
The reader is now placed in possessiijn of records which it
is hoped will enable him to complete his own line of descent,
and be an incentive to its accurate keeping in the future.

The name Nye as a family name made its first appearance
about the middle of the thirteenth century in the Sjelland Sec-
tion of Denmark. At that time there were great internal
uprisings in Sweden and many of the Swedes fled to ad-
joining countries to escape the dangers which threatened them
at home. These people settled in little communities through-
out Denmark and we find traces of their settlements in such
compound names as Ny-borg, Ny-stead, and of other towns
named after their Swedish homes ; in like manner to the nam-
ing of New Amsterdam by th^ Dutch settlers in America; the
prefix Ny in the Danish language, meaning new or new comer.
In the adoption of surnames which hitherto had been
practically unknown they employed much the same method.
Great confusion often resulted from the lack of a surname
and so to distinguish a man he was given a surname which
suggested itself from some characteristic of the man, as for
instance a trade or occupation, such as Baker, Carpenter, or
Gardener, often his figure made the necessary suggestion, as
Broad, Short, or Tallman ; or the simple addition of son, as
Johnson, Williamson or Robinson.
And so one of these emigrants from Sweden was given
by the inhabitants of his new country the name Nye or New-
comer.
For the ancestry of this man we must look to the tradi-
tional history of Denmark. There are several stories of his
origin but one will be sufficient to give us a point from which
we may start. This tradition tells us that about the middle
of the thirteenth century a person came and settled in Fred-
ericksborg Bailiwick and Slangerup Parish in the Sjelland
Section of Denmark. There was a rumor that he was the
20 THE XVE FAMILY.
descendant of Harold Blaiuand. who died in 985. through his
daughter, who married one of the most famous of the Swedish
heroes, Styribiorn, son of Olaf, King of Sweden.
LA\'E XYE was a son of this descendant of the royal
house of Sweden and is the first whose name appears on rec-
ord. He became a man of great prominence and in 13 16 was
Bishop of Roskilde in the Sjelland Section. (Lexicon over
Adclige Fainilier in Danmark, Novge og Hcrtogdoiiiniene) .
S\'EX XYE is mentioned in 1346 as the heir of his
father, the Bishop of Roskilde. {Danskc Arkivc). In 1363
he had in Tudse, Holbeek Bailiwick, Sjelland Section a grant
of land. (Lands KorJorets Annaler) He probably died the
same year, since his son,
MARTEX XYE was in that year declared heir of his
father in Tudse. [Historia SjcUandia Vol. i, p. (>8).
XILS XYE was a son of iNIarten Xye and in 1418 is
mentioned in the Landnamabok as possessing land in Tudse.
which he then deeded to his son.
BERTOLF XYE is mentioned in 1466 as the son of Xils
Nye of Tudse [Xccrologinm Daniae fetus). Bertolf had two
sons James and Randolf. James had a duel with Tostig, son
of Gytha, (Annalcs Daninc III. 135), from the consequences
of which he fled to England accompanied by his younger
brother Randolf and settled in Wiltshire, afterward removing
to Hampshire.
EXGLAXD.
RAXDOLF XYE settled in Sussex in 1527. He is men-
tioned in the Rolls as excusing himself on account of illness
from attendance at the Assize held at Lewes. (Coram Rcgc
Roll, 20 Hen. VIII). He held land in L'ckfield, County Sus-
sex {Rotnli Hundredornni ?j Hen. LI II). He had one son,
William who is mentioned in Coram Rege Roll as the inheritor
of his father, Rand'ilf of Uckfield.
THE NYES IN EUROPE 21
WILLIAM XYE. son of Randolf, married Agnes, daugh-
ter of Ralph Tregian of Ballance-Horned. County Hertford.
William studied for the ministry and became Rector of the
Parish Church of Ballance-Horned before his father's death.
[26 Hen. I'lII. I ^^4 also History of Hertfordshire \'ol. I. p.
274). In 2 Edw. \'I, 1548-9 we read that he claimed the land
which hi< father who had evidently died the year before had
■■given unto 'him" in Cckfield "to have and to hold to them
and to the heirs male of the said William his son, and in de-
fault of such issue male then the said premises to be given
to the Parish Church". ( Tozcn Depositions Chancery 2 Edz^'.
VI). As there are no other references to William Xye, ex-
cept a mention of his name in 1556, when his son Ralph wab
served heir to his father, it nuist be inferred that he' led a
quiet and uneventful life.
RALPH XYE, son of William, became heir to his father
in Ccktield and Balance in I55^>. This date also fixes the
date for the death of his father. (Retour. iij). He married
June iS, 1555, ]\[argaret M^rynge of St. ]\Iary, Woolchurch.
{Marria\;e Licenses of the Bislwp of London. B.) He had five
children who are mentioned in Inqiiisitiones Post Mortem:
i Thomas.
ii Edmundus. who while he was quite young went
into Somersetshire, died there and was -buried in
Wedmore Church March 9, 1594. (St. James
Parish Rei!;ister & Wedmore Parish Register).
iii Ralph, married Joan \\'ilkshire, August 30, 1584.
{Wedmore Parish Register).
iv Anne, married Xich. Stuart August 6, 1616.
V Mary, married John Banister \pv\\ 24. 1621. {St.
Savionrs. Southzvark Parish Register).
THOMAS XYE. son of Ralph and Margaret (Merynge)
Xye, married September 9, 1583, at St. Andrew, Hubbard,
Katherine Poulsden of London. She was a daughter of the late
Mr. Poulsden of Horley, County Surrey. {Marriage Licenses

messuage or tenement builded with a croft adjoining, con-
taining sixteen acres in Bidlenden, County Kent. {Clerk of

Nye an annuity of four shillings arising from the said lands.
Ralph Nye was executor of his father's estate in 1584. (Pro-
ceedings Court of Claims). Their Children were:
i Henry, matriculated at Oxford University, Novem-
ber 24, 1609, at the age of twenty years. He
received his degree, Bachellor of Arts, June 12,
161 1. In 1615 he was Vicar of Cobham, Surrey.
He was Rector of Clapham Sussex in 1630.
i Alumni Oxonicnsis "cf sequitur"). His son,
John, matriculated at Oxford, December 12,
1634, aged fourteen years and was made Bachel-
lor of Arts, .May 26, 1638.
ii Philip, matriculated at Oxford, June 28, 1616, when
he was twenty years of age. He received the
degree, Bachellor of Arts, April 24, 1619. In
1645 he was Rector of St. iMichal's Cornhill and
of Acton Middlesex in 1645. He resided for
. some time at Hayes near Slinford, County Sus-
sex and later emigrated to Arnheim, Holland
and returned to England in 1840 in company
with John Canne. In Oliver Cromwell's time
he was a celebrated preacher and there are many
interesting notes about him in Henry G. Bohn's
edition of Butler's Hudibras. He married Judith,
who died in 1680. He died at Brompton, Ken-
sington Parish, September, 1678, and was buried
at St. Michael's Cornhill, September 27, 1678.

iii John, reported to have been "a very lively dis-
position" which the following taken from the
Middlesex- Sessions Roll Peace Reg. would tend
to confirm: "July 16, 12 James I (1614) John

William Smith at Hammersmith and beatinge
Richard Bushe verye square upon the head ; said

THOMAS XYE, son of Thomas and Katherine (Pouls-
den) X'ye of Bidlenden, County Kent, was a haberdasher. On
June 10, 1619, he married for his second wife Agnes Ryef.
Tlie name of his first wife who had died is not l<nown. His
second wife, whose age is given as thirty-nine, was of the
same Parish and was the widow of Henry Rye. fMarriac^t-
Liccnscs, Archbishop of Canterbury Court). July 4, 1637, he
granted to his youngest son Thomas four acres of land in Bid-
lenden together with a building part of a fold-course and stated
in the document "my oldest son Benjamin having gone to
Xew England." (Clerk of the Peace Rolls).
Their children were :
i l^.enjamin, born ]\Iay 4. 1620; married Katharine
Tapper and settled in Sandwich, Mass.

I— BENJAMIN NYE, son of Thomas and Agnes Nye,
was born at Bidlenden Kent, England, ]\lay 4. 1620.
He came in the "Abigail" to Lynn, Mass.. in 1635, with
Edmund Freeman's Company.
(Dennis Geere of Saugus, who came in the "Abigail,"
in his will, dated December 10, 1635, leaves 30 shillings to
Benjamin Nye.)
Rev. Thomas Tupper was also a passenger on the "Abi-
gail." In 1637 he removed to Sandwich, Mass., where Oc-
tober 19. 1640, his daughter Katherine and Benjamin Nye
were married.
The following extracts from the town and colony rec-
ords give the history of Benjamin Nye.
In 1643 the name of Benjamin Nye appears in the list
of those able to bear arms.
In 1650 he complained of Thomas Dexter, Jr.. for tres-
pass for damages to the amount of ten pounds and was
awarded by the jury the sum of fifteen shillings.
In 1654, his name appears on a list of those contributing
toward building a mill.
March 29, 1655, his name is on the subscription list for
building a meeting house.
In 1655 he was supervisor of highways.
July 17, 1657, he engages to pay fifteen shillings toward
the minister's salary yearly, and in the same year takes the
oath of fidelity.
May 18, 1658, he was chosen Grand-juryman.
In 1659 he made a payment of five shillings for the
meeting house.
In 1660 he complained against William Newland in an
action of defamation, to the damage of fifty pounds, by tes-

tifyinc: in court that a message was brought or sent to him
from Elizabeth Freeman "afFeirming that Jacob Burgis was
drawnc to testify that which he did conserning Barlow
through Feare, by Benjamin Xyes threatening him, in case
hee would atcnd Barlow in his ocations against the Quak-
ers, and giue the p^ent euidence, hee should not haue
his daughter to wife." The jury found for the plaintiff fifty
shillings, or that the defendant bring forth the informer, and
the cost of the suit.
In 1661 he was chosen Constable and 1662 he was on
the jurv. In 1664 he served on a coroner's jury on Thomas
Fitch. In 1665 he wa> on a committee to settle a road dis-
pute between George Allen and R. Chadwell.
Mav 15, 1668. he was again chosen Grand-juryman.
On March 18. 1660, the town voted to lay out twelve
acres of land to him because he built the mill at the little
pond.
September 13, 1669, the town "granted Ben Nie 8 acres
of land adjoining his si.x acres adj(jining to his meadow by
the little river."
[une 13, 1671. he was on a committee to look after the
uplands and meadows which are the town's commons.
In 1^)73, he was constable.
^larch 31, 1674. voted a commitee take a deed of
Thomas Dexter for the town's land and ordered Benjamin
Nye, the collector, to pay the said Thomas Dexter four

On Februarv 23. i^Vr- ^ 'i^^ of names was recorded of
those having a just right and interest in the town's privil-
erres — the list contains the names of Benjamin Xie and John
Nye.
August 8, 1675, it was \oted that Benj. Xyc have per-
mission to build a fulling mill upon Spring Hill River, pro-
viding it does not damnific the county road, and to keep up
a mill in said place as long as he keeps a fulling mill in the
same place. (The history of Barnstable County states "at
Spring Hill, just west from East Sandwich the remains of

3177— EDGAR WILSON NYE (Franklin,^^" Bart-

at Shirley, Piscataquis County. Maine, August 25, 1850.
Under his jioiii dc plume of ■'Bill Nye" he is known the
world over. According to his own story, when he was
about two years of age, he took his parents by the hand
and led them to the West. They went to Wisconsin in
1853 ^"<^ settled on a farm in St. Croix County, near River
Falls, where Edgar, as the family called him, grew to man-
Ei)(;.\K Wir.sdx X^
EIGHTH GENERATION 541
hood. He was educated in the common schools and at the
Academy at River Falls, worked on the farm, taught school
a few years and studied law.
In the spring of 1876 he went into Wyoming Territory,
having no financial resources whatever, and located in Lari-
mee City, where he took a position on the Larimee City
Daily Sentinel, a paper then published by Mr. Hayford.
He soon acquired pronounced local fame which rapidly
spread throughout the West. He was a regular contributor
for some time to the Denver Sunday Tribune, and in the
meantime practiced law somewhat, and held the position of
Municipal Judge. He was also for a time Postmaster at
Larimee City. He later organized a newspaper Company
known as the Boomerang Company, and started the Lari-
mee City Daily fioomerang, which for some time, until his
health failed was widely copied throughout the United
States. In the later part of 1879 or 1880 he met with a
sickness which finally led to his severing his connection
with the Boomerang. He suffered for a long time after,
the effects of Cerebro-Spinal Meningitis, and found- it neces-
sary to have a change of climate and occupation. He never
recovered from the severe strain of this continued nervous
difficulty, arising, no doubt, largely from overwork and
nervous and mental strain. About 1881 or 1882 he re-
turned to Wisconsin and bought a small home at Hudson,
St. Croix County, and resided there with his family, engag-
ing his services to the New York World for a time as a
weekly contributor, and shortly after engaging upon a sal-
ary, he removed his family to New York City and bought a
fine home at Staten Island. He spent two or three winters
in the South, and finally bought a place at what is called
Buck Shoals, near Asheville, North Carolina. He built a
fine residence there in which the family lived at the time
of his death.
In addition to a large amount of literary work and his
labors on the "World" he lectured in all parts of the United
States, and was throughout the Fall and Winter of the last
542 THE NYE FAMILY
four or five years of his life constantly on the lecture plat-
form. He married at Larimee City, March 7, 1877, Mjss
Clara Frances Smith. She died in the fall of 1906. He
died on February 22, 1896, at his home at Buck Shoals,
North Carolina, after a short illness finally culminating in a
paralytic stroke. He was buried in the Episcopal church-
yard at Fletcher, N. C, five miles from Buck Shoals.

The Nye Family of America Association.
For the benefit of those who have not become acquainted
with the Nye Family of America Association, or who have
been unable to attend its meetings or to obtain copies of the
proceedings, a short account of the organization, purpose and
history of the Association is here given.
In August, 1902, there gathered in Sandwich, Mass., a
little group of Nyes whose earnest wish was to have a reunion
of the family. Among them was one of four score years,
Charles H. Nye of Hyannis, who had long labored for this
purpose and whose most earnest desire was that the descend-
ants of Benjamin Nye, scattered as they are from the Golden
Gate on the West to the Pine Tree State on the East, might
gather together in the ancestral home town on Cape Cod.
In accordance with this wish Mrs. Henry Alden Belcher
invited a number of the descendants of Benjamin Nye to
meet at her residence in Sandwich to consult upon the feasi-
bility of holding a reunion of the family the next year and to
form a temporary organization for that purpose. In response
to this invitation nine of the CapeXod Nyes met with Mrs.
Belcher. At that time a temporary organization of the Nye
Family was formed for the purpose of organizing a national
association, the object of which should be to collect family
history, promote family pride and cultivate a closer bond of
friendship among the kindred.
The following officers were elected to take charge of the
temporary organization : Mr. William L. Nye, Sandwich,
Mass., President; Mrs. Henry Alden Belcher, Randolph,
Mass., Secretary and Treasurer.
THE XYE FAMILY
Executive Committee.
Mr. Charles H. Nye, Hyannis, Mass.
Mr. William F. Nye, Fairhaven, Mass.
Mr. Everett I. Nye, Wellfleet, Mass.
Mr. Levi S. Nye, Sandwich, Mass.
Hon. William A. Nye, Bournedale, Mass.
Mr. David D. Nye, Cataumet, Mass.
Mr. James L. Wesson, Boston, Mass.
■ Mr. William P. Nye, Providence, R. I.
Mr. George H. Nye, Auburn, N. Y.
Mrs. William L. Nye, Sandwich, Mass.
Miss Mary E. Nye, Sandwich, Mass.
Mrs. S. Curtis Smith, Newton, Mass.
This temporary organization voted to have a reunion to
which a general invitation might be extended to the Nyes
scattered throughout the countr>- in the hopes that such a re-
union v^fould be largely attended and the temporary organiza-
Lion be made a permanent association.
In November, 1902, circulars were sent out to the Nyes
all over America informing them of the action taken by this
little group of Nyes down on Cape Cod and asking them for
their co-operation in making the first reunion of the Nye
Family a grand success. After this other meetings were held
and in June a second circular was sent out inviting all des-
cendants of Benjamin Nye to gather at Sandwich, Mass.,
August 5, 6 and 7, 1903, to celebrate the first reunion of the
family In response to this invitation about three hundred of
the Nyes gathered at Sandwich, Mass., on August 5, 1903,
and inaugurated the first reunion of the Nye Family of
America. The program consisted of historical addresses and
papers bearing upon family matters by prominent members of
the family. There were short addresses and delightful music.
There were two receptions and a concert at the Casino. Visits
were made to many historical spots in and about the town.
At this reunion a committee was appointed to whom was
referred the matter of a permanent organization of an Asso-
ciation of the Nye Family. The following recommendations
made by this committee were adopted :
APPENDIX 605
"First. That a permanent association be organized to
be known as 'The Xye Family of America.'
"Second. That any descendant of Benjamin Nye, who
settled in Sandwich in 1637, and his or her husband, wife,
widow or widower, may become a member of said association
on the payment of a fee of one dollar, and remain a member
of said association on the payment of the annual dues of one
dollar per year.
"Third. That the officers of said association shall be a
President, a Vice-president, a Secretary, an Assistant Secre-
tary, a Treasurer and an Executive Committee consisting of
ten members and at least one additional member from each
state and territory having a membership in said association.
(At the reunion in 1906 a Registrar was added to this list of
officers.)
"Fourth. That the first officers of said association shall
be as follows : William L. Nye of Sandwich, [Mass., Presi-
dent; George H. Xye of Auburn, N. Y., Vice-president; Mrs.
Henry Alden Belcher of Randolph, Mass., Secretary; Mrs.
Annie Xye Smith 01 Boston, Mass., Treasurer.
"That the Assistant Secretary shall be such person as
the Secretary may apfKoint.
"That the officers of said association shall hold their
offices until the close of the next reunion, and all officers here-^
after elected shall hold their offices until the close of the next
succeeding reunion after their election.
"Fifth. That the first Executive Committee shall be com-
posed of the following named persons :

606 THE NYE FAMILY
Miss Mary E. Nye, Sandwich, Mass.
Miss Grace Nye, Milwaukee, Wis.
Dr. Fremont Nye, Westerly, R. I.
James W. Nye, Marietta, Ohio.
Loyal Nye, Binghamton, N. Y.
Hon. Stephen A. Nye, Fairfield, Me.
William Fessenden Jackson, Newark, N. J.
"That the officers of said association shall be ex-officio
members of said E.xecutive Committee."
The second reunion of the Nye Family of America was
held in Sandwich, Mass., August 17, 18 and 19, 1904. The
program was similar to that of the preceding year but many
new speakers were obtained and many other members of the
Nye Family were present to form the acquaintanceship of
others of their kindred.
At the business meeting the following persons were
elected as officers of the association for the year : Mr. George
H. Nye, Auburn, N. Y., President ; Hon. David J. Nye, Elyria,
Ohio, Vice-president ; Mrs. S. Curtis Smith, Newton, Mass.,
Secretary ; Mrs. Annie Nye Smith, Roxbury, Mass., Treasurer.
Executive Committee.
Mr. William L. Nye, Sandwich, Mass., Chairman.
Mr. Charles H. Nye, Hyannis, Mass.
Mr. William F. Nye, Fairhaven, Mass. j
Mr. Everett I. Nye, Wellfleet, ]Mass. i
Mr. James L. Wesson, Boston, Mass. \
Mrs. Horace K. Nye, Fairhaven, Mass.
Mr. James W. Nye, Marietta, Ohio. ^\
Mrs. Rowena Nye Cook, Chillicothe, Ohio. ;
Mr. Harold B. Nye, Cleveland, Ohio. :'.
In 1905 the association made a pilgrimage to Marietta, :
Ohio, the first settling place of the Nyes in the Northwest
Territory. This gave new life to all the members and espe-
cially to those from the East, who had come for the first time, |
many of them, into what had been to them the frontier of the |
American civilization. The proceedings at this meeting i
though similar to those of the others in their number of his- ■
torical papers were delightfully interspersed with visits to
APPENDIX 607
historical spots in and about Marietta, and by little teas,
luncheon parties and receptions given by the Nyes and the
citizens of the Ohio city.
At this reunion officers were elected as follows: Hon.
David J. Nye, Elyria, Ohio, President; Mr. James L. Wesson,
Boston, Mass., Vice-president ; Mrs. S. Curtis Smith, Newton,
Mass., Secretary; Mrs. Annie Nye Smith, Roxbury, Mass.,

8, 9, lo, 1906. Th^s reunion was of great interest to all mem-
bers of the family. Many new faces were seen among the
kindred, who have attended each annual gathering. Beside
the literary program the family were entertained by a recep-
tion at Spring Hill, the home of Benjamin Nye, the First, by
a boat carnival on the little lake, for which the citizens of
Sandwich are noted, and by an all day pilgrimage to Plymouth,
the landing place of the pilgrims. The closing exercises were
held in the Casino and consisted of a promenade concert and
farewell reception and ball.
The officers elected at this time were: Hon. David J.
Nye, Elyria, Ohio, President ; INIr. James L. Wesson, Boston,
Mass., Vice-president; Mrs. S. Curtis Smith, Newton, Mass.,
Secretary; Mrs. Armie Nye Smith, Littleton Common, Mass.,
Treasurer; Mr. Robert W. Thompson, Middletown. Conn.,
Registrar.
ExECUTiv'E Committee.
Mr. William L. Nye, Sandwich, Mass., Chairman.
Mr. Charles H. Nye, Hyannis, Mass.
608 THE NYE FAMILY

The proceedings of each of these reunions have been pub-
lished in pamphlet form and include all the addresses in full
and accounts of each of the meetings and the social diversions
of the gathering. They may be obtained from the secretary
at very small cost. The officers of the association are glad at
all times to give any information concerning the association
or its meetings, or answer any inquiries from member? of the
family on all subjects that they can.
One may become a member of the association at ar.v time
upon the payment to the treasurer of the membership fee and
may continue a merr>ber by paying the annual dues.
Explanatory Note.
The arrangement of names and numbers attempted in
this book is as follows :
Every person who is a Nye by birth is given a number
and if the head of a family concerning whom more is written,
an asterisk (*) is placed before the number. This asterisk
refers to the numbers in black-faced type in the following
generation. By referring to that number a fuller account of
the person may be found including a list of his children. The
children of those who have married outside of the family are
referred to by the same number as the Nye from whom they
are descended. In like manner those who have married into
the family are refened to in the index by the same number
as the last Nye after whom their name appears.
To trace one's Ime from the present time back to Benja-
min^ it is necessary to find one's number in the index and thxen
by referring to the account of his father, if he is a Nye, there
will be found the name and number of his father, grandfather,
great grandfather and so of each ancestor back to Benjamin.^
A reference to the corresponding numbers in the black-faced
type will disclose a more detailed account of each of these
ancestors.
For instance, in the index of Nyes is found the name
"Thomas 348." Looking back into the text we find in the
black-faced type "348 — Thomas ,Xye (Jonathan."- Jonathan,"
Jonathan,^ Benjamm')." The names and numbers in the par-
enthesis following Thomas Nye are the names and numbers
of his ancestors. "Jonathan"-" being his father. "Jonathan-^"
his grandfather ar-.d so on. In the list of the chiMren of
Thomas will be found "*ioo6 Curtis Freeman . ."_ Now
by referring to the number 1006 in black-faced type a fuller
account of Curtis Freeman Nye and his children will be found.
It is intended that these indexes shall contain all the names
which appear in the text.
