The  present  volume  is  the  result  of  labors  instituted  by  Ebenezer 
Mack  Treman  and  carried  on  for  some  time  during  the  years  1893-4, 
and  partially  abandoned  for  several  years,  owing  to  the  pressure  of 
business  duties,  to  be  finally  revived  in  1901,  and  carried  to  a  suc- 
cessful conclusion,  with  the  assistance  of  Murray  E.  Poole.  The 
latter  can  not  refrain,  in  this  connection,  from  expressing  to  the 
former  his  sincere  thanks  for  the  encouragement  which  he  has  ever 
received  in  the  prosecution  of  the  work,  and  desires  further  to  bear 
testimony  to  his  colleague's  strong  love  of  family  and  pride  in  its 
achievements  and  to  his  public  spirit  and  generosity  in  providing 
this  family  memorial.  An  earnest,  and  we  hope  successful,  attempt 
has  been  made  to  gather  together,  in  this  volume,  the  widely  scattered 
family  records.  As  the  years  go  by  they  will  become  more  and  more 
valuable.  It  is  hoped  that  the  members  of  the  family  will  take  great 
care  in  preserving  family  records.  If  this  work  brings  the  various 
members  of  the  family  into  closer  communication,  one  of  its  objects 
will  be  attained.  Its  value  as  a  contribution  to  local  histor}^  must 
necessarily  be  great,  while  it  is  an  authentic  record  which  may  some 
time  prove  of  great  value  in  enabling  some  member  of  the  family  to 
establish  his  right  in  the  courts  of  law  to  an  inheritance,  or  before 
the  Interior  Department  to  a  pension  for  war  service,  or  to  prove 
eligibility  to  membership  in  the  hereditary  patriotic  societies.  Gene- 
alogy, once  interesting  to  a  few,  has  become  a  popular  study.  In  the 
early  days  of  few  newspapers  and  with  books  seldom  indexed,  one

would  seldom  meet,  in  print,  his  family  name  ;  nowadays  the  news- 
papers print  long  lists  of  names  of  individuals  and  a  book  of  an  his- 
torical character  without  an  index  is  a  rarity.  Historical,  biographical 
and  directory  publishing  companies  also  provide  many  sources  of 
genealogical  information.  The  plan  of  this  book  is  so  simple  as  to 
need  no  explanation.     The  price  is  placed  at  actual  cost. 

If  any  mistakes  occur,  and  it  is  almost  impossible  to  prevent  them, 
in  the  thousands  of  names  and  dates,  it  is  hoped  that  they  will  be 
reported  for  correction  in  some  future  edition.  If  any  names  have 
been  omitted,  it  is  regretted,  as  an  effort  was  made  to  include  every 
person  bearing  the  family  name  or  related  to  the  family  by  intermar- 
riage.    We    desire   especially  to  thank  those    who   have   furnished 

information.

The  Treman,  Tremaine,  Truman  family  is  of  Norman  origin. 
The  first  ancestor  of  the  family  in  England  came  over  from  France 
with  William  the  Conqueror.  The  original  family  name  Tremayne, 
meaning  three  hands,  was  of  Norman  origin.  The  meaning  of  the 
name  was  lost  and  then  from  losing  its  meaning  it  gradually  became 
converted  into  another  name  that  had  another  meaning.  This  was 
not  a  very  unusual  occurrence  in  family  names  and  can  not  be 
explained  philologically.  The  change  came  by  modification  and  use. 
The  first  of  the  name  of  whom  we  have  any  knowledge  was  Perys 
Tremayne  who  resided  in  Cornwall,  England,  in  the  reign  of 
Edward  III.  (1312-1377.)  His  descendants  were  seated  in  Corn- 
wall for  many  generations.  There  is  an  old  saying  "By  Tre,  Pol  and 
Pen,  you  may  know  the  Cornish  men."  The  first  of  the  family 
bearing  a  different  name,  of  whom  we  have  any  knowledge,  was 
Rev.  Henry  Trewman,  instituted  rector  of  Cromwell,  Nottingham- 
shire, England,  July  27,  1635.  His  successor  was  Rev.  Joseph  Tru- 
man, D.  D.  The  meaning  of  this  name  was,  obviously,  true  man. 
An  explanation  of  the  change  of  name  is  found  in  the  original  pro- 
nounciation  of  the  names  Tremayne  and  Truman,  the  letter  "u"  in 
Truman  having  the  sound  of  French  "u"  which  is  the  sound  of 
English  "e",  showing  that  the  two  qames  sounded  very  much  alike. 
The  Anglo-Saxons  spelled  the  name  Trcevvman,  meanmg  wood-man. 
In  America  the  name  appears  Treman,  Tremaine  and  Truman.  As 
illustrating  how  families  re-adopt  the  old  name  it  may  be  mentioned 
that  many  of  the  grandsons  of  Joseph  Truman,  the  first  American 
ancestor,  remembering  the  family  tradition  that  the  old  family  name 
was  Tremayne,  adopted  the  old  name  Tremaine,  as  the  name  was 
spelled  Tremayne  and  Tremaine  in  the  olden  time  in  England.

Lineage. 

From  the  manor  of  Tremayne  in  the  parish  of  St.  Martin,  on 
the  banks  of  Helford  Haven,  this  family  derived,  at  a  very  remote 
period,  its  designation.  In  the  reign  of  Edward  HL  (13 12-1377), 
Perys  Tremayne  was  there  resident.  By  his  wife,  Dame  Opre  Tres- 
kewys,  he  was  father  of 

John  Tremayne,  to  whom,  having  no  issue  himself,  s.  his  brother, 

Perys  Tremayne,  who  m.  Onera  Trevertea,  and  was  grand- 
father of 

Thomas  Tremayne.  This  was  the  last  resident  of  the  family  at 
Tremayne.  lie  m.  Lsabella,  dau.  and  sole  heir  of  Trenchard  of 
CoUacombe,  and  removed  in  consequence  to  that  estate,  where  his 
descendants  flourished  for  more  than  three  centuries.  Isabella 
Trenchard,  surviving  her  husband,  remarried  with  Sir  John  Damerell. 

Thomas  Tremayne  was  s.  by  his  elder  son,

following  account :  "Being  a  younger  brother,  he  became  servant  to 
Edward,  Marquess  of  Exeter,  and  a  great  sufferer  for  his  inviolable 
fidelity  to  his  noble  master;  for  when  the  Marquess  of  Exeter  and 
the  Lady  Elizabeth  (afterwards  Queen  of  England,  of  glorious 
memory)  were  committed  to  the  Tower  in  Queen  Mary's  days,  upon 
an  accusation  of  being  privy  to  Wyat's  conspiracy,  Mr.  Edmund 
Tremayne  was  set  on  the  rack,  thereby  to  extort  from  him  a  confession 
of  their  guilt  (prisoners  were  oft  examined  about  her,  and  some  were 
put  to  the  rack  to  try  if  they  could  be  brought  to  accuse  that  lady), 
wherein  approving  their  innocency  and  his  own  fidelity,  with  invincible 
resolution,  he  was,  upon  the  Lady   Elizabeth's  advancement  to   the

Queen  INlary  when  he  was  obliged,  from  his  zeal  for  the  Reforma- 
tion, to  seek  an  asylum  in  (Germany,  having  been  deprived  of  his 
fellowship.  Upon  the  elevation  of  Elizabeth  to  the  throne,  he 
returned  from  exile,  and,  visiting  his  college,  had  the  honour  of 
receiving  both  degrees  of  divinity  at  once,  on  15  Feb.,  1565.  Dr. 
Tremayne  subsequently  removed  to  Gates  Hall,  and  thence  passed 
within  a  short  period  into  his  own  county,  being  instituted  Canon 
Residentiary  of  St.  Peter's,  Exeter,  and  Treasurer  of  that  church.

Risden,  in  his  survey  of  Devon,  relates  some  singular  facts  regarding 

them. 

L'pon  the  monument  of  these  remarkable  brothers,  the  following 

hnes  are  engraved  : — 

"These  liken'd  twins,  in  fonn  and  fancy  one, 
Were  like  aflfected,  and  like  habit  chose  ; 
Their  valour  at  Newhaven  siege  was  known,

One  of  the  oldest  and  most  distinguished  families  of  Tremayne 
is  that  of  Heligan.     This  name  recalls  more  than  one  deed  of  daring

in  which  the  Cornish  Tremaynes  have  taken  part.  During  the  reign 
of  Pendennis,  in  Cromwell's  time,  Lieutenant  Colonel  Tremayne  of 
Helligan  escaped  by  swimming  through  the  enemy's  fire  from  one  of 
the  blockhouses  to  Trefuse's  Point.  A  branch  of  the  Tremaynes  of 
Cornwall  has  been  seated  in  Lamberton,  Devon,  for  many  centuries.

to  the  more  splendid  mansion  of  Sydenham.  When  we  visited  the 
church  we  were  much  pleased  with  viewing  the  old  monuments  there 
existing  of  the  family  of  Tremaine.  But  before  I  speak  of  the  twin 
brothers  I  must  say  a  few  words  of  their  father  and  family.  Our 
great  ancestors  in  the  reign  of  Richard  IL  founded  an  hospital  at 
the  west  end  of  the  town  of  Tavistock  and  dedicated  it  to  St.  George. 

Thomas  Tremaine,  the  parent  of  the  twins,  had  eight  sons  and 
as  many  daughters.  Edmund,  the  second  son,  was  the  devoted  fol- 
lower of  Edward,  Earl  of  Devon  and  Marquis  of  Exeter,  and  suffered 
severely  by  his  unshaken  attachment  to  that  nobleman  during  his 
many  troubles.  He  was  by  order  of  Queen  Mary  racked  in  the 
Tower  of  London  in  the  hope  he  would  reveal  enough  to  prove  the 
guilt  of  the  Marquis,  but  no  torture  could  compel  him  to  accuse  the 
innocent  or  betray  the  confidences  of  his  friend.  The  Queen  did 
not  forget  the  fidelity  he  had  evinced  under  such  a  cruel  test,  as  on 
her  accession  to  the  throne  she  rewarded  Edmund  by  making  him 
one  of  the  Clerks  of  the  Privy  Council. 

The  family  of  Tremaines  is  of  ancient  standing.  Their  arms 
consist  of  three  united  arms  with  clinched  hands,  and  two  hands 
above  support  a  Saracen's  head  as  the  crest. 


14  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

The  hall  window  of  Collacombe  House  has  3545  small  panes  of 
glass  in  it. 

We  visited  the  interesting  old  house  of  Sydenham  commenced  in 
the  time  of  Elizabeth  and  finished  in  that  of  James  I.  The  mansion 
is  built  in  the  shape  of  the  letter  E.  One  of  the  gables  has  been 
despoiled  of  its  beautiful  old  windows  and  common  modern  ones  put 
in — supposed  to  have  been  the  whim  of  a  certain  old  Mr.  Tremaine, 
the  father  of  the  late  possessor  of  Sydenham,  who  was  born  in  1708 
and  died  in  1808. 

Sydenham  was  garrisoned  for  King  Charles  and  taken  by  the 
parliamentary  forces  in  January,  1645. 

Among  the  pictures  in  one  of  the  apartments  was  the  sister  of 
the  former  Mr.  St.  John,  who  acted  in  concert  with  Hampden  and 
Pymir  during  the  rebellion.  This  lady  was  by  marriage  connected 
with  the  family  of  Tremaine.  Over  the  chimney  piece  is  the  portrait 
of  the  gallant  Col.  Arthur  Tremaine  who  lived  to  see  the  monarchy 
for  which  he  fought  and  bled  restored,  and  to  wed  with  fair  mistress 
Bridget  Hatherleigh,  who  at  that  period  had  become  for  want  of  male 
issue  the  heiress  of  Sydenham.  Bridget  was  grand-daughter  of  Sir 
Thomas  Wise  and  by  her  marriage  with  the  brave  Col.,  the  house 
and  lands  of  Sydenham  came  to  the  family  of  Tremaine.  Mr.  Tre- 
maine. the  present  .worthy  and  respected  proprietor,  does  not  often 
reside  in  this  princely  but  decaying  mansion.  He  inherited  it  by  will 
from  the  last  old  gentleman  dying  unmarried,  who,  though  he  had 
never  seen  him,  left  it  on  account  of  his  being  the  same  name  and 
being  the  younger  branch  of  the  family  with  whom,  however,  he  had 
kept  up  no  communication. 

Nicholas  and  Andrew  Tremaine  were  twin  sons  of  the  afore 
named  Thomas  Tremaine,  born  at  Collacombe  House  in  Lamerton. 
They  were  of  such  close  resemblance  in  feature  and  gesture  that  they 
could  not  be  known  the  one  from  the  other  by  their  own  parents  or 
friends.  They  wore  a  knot  of  colored  ribbons  to  distinguish  them. 
In  1563  they  bore  arms  among  the  English  forces  sent  into  France, 
the  one  as  Captain  of  Horse,  the  other  as  a  volunteer.  In  one  of 
the  engagements  near  Newhaven,  now  Havre  de  Grace,  they  stood 
side  by  side.  At  last  one  fell  and  the  other  immediately  took  his 
place  and  shared  his  brother's  fate. 

The  monument   in    l,ain])erton   Church   is   that   of  their   family. 


The  Tremayne  Family  in  England.       15 

The  following  epitaph  on  Nicholas  and  Andrew  appears  inscribed  on 
a  tablet  of  marble  with  several  rude  rhymes  to  the  memory  of  the 
same  race : 

These  likened  twins  in  form  and  fancy  one, 
Were  like  affected  and  like  habits  chose. 
Their  valor  at  Newhaven  seige  was  known, 
When  both  encountered  fiercely  with  their  foes. 
Then  one  of  both  sore  wounded  lost  his  breath, 
And  t'other  slain  revenging  brother's  death." 

The  Tremaynes  are  said  to  come  from  Sydenham.  (This  is 
Sydenham  Damerel,  4  miles  N.  W.  of  Tavistock  in  Devon.) 

There  is  now  no  parish  of  St.  Martin  on  the  banks  of  Helford 
(?  Milford)  Haven. 

Tremain  is  a  parish  4  miles  N.  E.  of  Cardigan,  Wales.

THK    FAMILY    OF   THH   TR1vMAYNF:S. 

The  ancient  family  of  Tremayne,  originally  of  Cornwall,  settled 
in  Devonshire  in  consequence  of  a  marriage  with  the  heiress  of 
Trenchard  of  Collacombe  in  the  parish  of  Lamerton,  where  for  many 
generations  was  the  chief  seat  of  the  family. 

The  mansion,  now  used  as  a  farmliouse,  is  of  the  style  of  the 
Elizabethan  age,  and  in  the  parish  church  are  some  of  their 
monuments.

The  Tremavne  Family  in  England.       17 

It  is  impossible  here  to  enter  into  genealogical  details  and  for 
these  we  must  refer  to  Prince,  nor  can  we  do  more  than  briefly  notice 
the  most  distinguished  individuals. 

Wescot,  in  his  manuscript  View  of  Devonshire,  informs  us  that 
one  of  this  ancient  family,  whose  Christian  name  he  does  not  men- 
tion, founded  an  hospital  in  the  western  part  of  Tavistock  in  the 
reign  of  Richard  II.  and  dedicated  it  to  St.  George. 

But  the  most  remarkable  instances  of  distinguished  individuals 
occur  in  the  family  of  Thomas  Tremayne,  Esq.,  who  had  sixteen 
children,  eight  sons  and  eight  daughters  by  his  wife  Philippa,  who 
twice  had  twins.  Their  second  son,  Edmund,  was  servant  to  the 
Marquis  of  Exeter,  when  he  was  thrown  into  the  Tower,  and  was  put 
on  the  rack,  with  the  view  of  extorting  from  him  some  confession  ; 
nothing,  however,  was  elicited  from  him  ;  and  for  his  firmness  on  this 
occasion,  when  Elizabeth  came  to  the  throne  he  was  made  one  of  the 
Clerks  of  the  Council.  He  also  had  an  honorary  salary  settled  upon 
him  by  the  city  of  Exeter,  for  the  good  offices  which  they  had 
received  from  him,  and  expected. 

Richard,  the  fourth  son  and  eldest  of  the  first  twins,  was  edu- 
cated for  the  church  at  Exeter  College,  Oxford,  and  being  deprived 
of  his  fellowship  there,  on  account  of  his  firm  attachment  to  Protestant 
principles  in  the  reign  of  Mary,  he  fled  into  Germany,  but  on  the 
accession  of  Elizabeth,  he  returned  to  his  college,  where  he  received 
both  his  degrees  in  divinity  at  once.  He  was  afterwards  made  Canon 
residentiary  of  Exeter  Cathedral  and  also  Treasurer  of  that  church. 
He  likewise  became  Vicar  of  Menheniot  in  Cornwall,  and  was 
esteemed  an  excellent  preacher  in  his  time.  He  died  without  issue 
in  1584. 

Nicholas  and  Andrew  were  the  second  twins,  then  follows 
account  of  their  similarity  and  death  at  Newhaven  (Havre  de  Grace). 

The  most  remarkable  monument  in  Lamerton  Church  of  the 
Tremayne  family  is  that  of  Thomas  Tremayne,  wife  Philippa  and 
sixteen  children.*

(From  Dictionary  of  National  Biography.) 

Edmund  Tremayne  (d.  1582),  Clerk  of  the  Privy  Council,  was 
second  son  of  Thomas  Tremayne,  of  CoUacombe,  Lamerton,  Devon- 
shire, where  the  Devonshire  branch  of  this  old  Cornish  family  had 
been  established  since  1366.  His  mother  was  Philippi,  eldest 
daughter  of  Roger  Grenville,  of  Stowe.  Of  this  marriage  were  born 
sixteen  children,  of  whom  four — Edmund,  Richard  and  the  twins, 
Nicholas  and  Andrew — acquired  some  reputation.  The  twins 
Andrew  and  Nicholas  were  strikingly  alike,  physically  and  mentally. 
The  elder,  Andrew,  fled  with  Sir  Peter  Carew,  on  25  Jan.,  1554,  and 
both  were  imprisoned  on  suspicion  of  piracy  on  24  Feb.,  1555,  but 
escaped  to  France  where  they  were  pensioned  by  the  French  King. 
They  were  also  implicated  in  the  Sir  Anthony  Kingston  plot  in  1556. 
After  Elizabeth's  accession  they  entered  her  service.  Andrew  led  a 
brilliant  cavalry  charge  against  the  French  at  Leith  in  April,  1560, 
and  was  killed  at  Newhaven  (Havre)  on  18  July,  1562.  Nicholas, 
who  seems  to  have  been  a  special  favourite  of  Elizabeth,  was  fre-

quently  employed  in  carrying  important  despatches  between  France 
and  England,  and  distinguished  himself  at  the  siege  of  Newhaven 
where  he  was  killed  on  26  May,  1562.  Edmund  entered  the  service 
of  Edward  Courtenay,  Earl  of  Devonshire,  in  the  autumn  of  1553, 
but  was  committed  to  the  Tower  in  February  or  March  following,  on 
suspicion  of  being  concerned  in  Wyatt's  rebellion.  He  was  racked 
during  the  time  Elizabeth  was  a  prisoner  in  the  Tower  (Fox)  but 
would  not  implicate  her  or  Courtenay,  his  master.  On  Friday,  18 
Jan.,  1855,  '^^  ^^'^s  released  with  Sir  Gawen  Carew,  the  three  sons  of 
the  late  Duke  of  Northumberland  and  others.  His  tine  (40  1.),  was 
the  lowest  enforced.  Tremayne  seems  to  have  joined  Courtenay  in 
Italy.  Courtenay  wrote  from  Venice  on  2  May,  1556,  "I  am  sorry 
for  Tremayne's  foolish  departure,  albeit  satisfied  and  content  there- 
with as  he  shall  well  perceive,  but  I  trust  the  cause  thereof  will  prove 
as  you  have  written."  This  probably  means  that  the  Earl  thought  it 
foolish  of  Tremayne  to  leave  England  and  lay  himself  open  to  a 
charge  of  treason.  Courtenay  died  at  Padua  on  18  Sept.,  1556,  and 
it  is  possible  that  Tremayne  entered  the  service  of  Francis,  Earl  of 
Bedford,  who  was  in  Venice  in  1557.  The  appointment  he  received 
in  1 56 1  of  Deputy  Butler  for  Devonshire  must  have  been  through  the 
influence  of  the  Earl  of  Bedford,  then  lord  lieutenant  of  Devonshire. 
Tremayne  spent  some  time  at  Elizabeth's  court,  and  Burghley  thought 
so  highly  of  him  that  in  July,  1569,  he  sent  him  on  a  special  mission 
to  Ireland,  "to  examine  into  the  truth  and  let  him  know  quietly  the 
real  condition  of  the  country."  Tremayne  remained  in  Ireland  until 
the  close  of  1569,  writing  frequently  to  Cecil  on  Irish  affairs.  On  3 
May,  1 57 1,  he  was  sworn  clerk  of  the  Privy  Council  at  Westminster. 
He  wrote  in  June  a  paper  entitled  "Causes  why  Ireland  is  not 
Reformed,"  which  was  endorsed  by  Burghley  with  the  words,  "a 
good  advice."  Tremayne  was  returned  M.  P.  for  Plymouth  (1572) 
with  John  Hawkyns.  In  June  he  drew  up,  with  Lord  Burghley,  an 
important  document,  "Matters  wherewith  the  Queen  of  Scots  may  be 
charged,"  from  which  Burghley's  signature  was  afterwards  erased. 
Tremayne  succeeded  to  the  family  estates  on  his  elder  brother's 
death  on  13  March,  1572.  He  still  maintained  a  special  interest  in 
Irish  affairs,  and  revisited  the  country  late  in  1573.  (See  "Instructions 
given  to  Mr.  E.  Tremayne  upon  his  being  sent  to  the  Lord  Deputy  of 
Ireland  by  the    Lord   Treasurer,"    1573,  in   Lambeth   MSS.)      The 


The  Tremayne  Family  in  England.  21 

City  of  Exeter  granted  Tremayne  in  1574  a  reversion  to  Sir  Gawen 
Carew's  pension  of  40  1.  "in  reward  of  their  good  services  done  this 
city."  (Isaacke.)  Carew  outlived  Tremayne,  so  the  latter  never 
benefited  by  the  grant.  The  family  mansion  of  Collacombe  was 
altered  and  enlarged  by  him;  the  date  1574  still  appears  with  the 
family  arms  and  those  of  his  royal  mistress  in  the  great  hall.  Tre- 
mayne was  in  1578  senior  of  the  four  clerks  to  the  Privy  Council, 
but  he  chierty  resided  in  Devonshire,  where  he  acted  as  commissioner 
for  the  restraint  of  grain  and  held  other  local  offices.  On  24  Oct., 
1580,  the  Queen  wrote  from  Richmond  commanding  him  to  assist 
Francis  Drake  in  sending  to  London  bullion  brought  into  the  realm 
by  Drake,  but  leaving  ten  thousand  pounds'  worth  in  Drake's  hands. 
This  last  instruction  "to  be  kept  most  secret  to  himself  alone.''  Tre- 
mayne made  his  will  17  Sept.,  1582.  The  Earl  of  Bedford  wrote  to 
announce  his  death  to  Burghley  a  few  days  later.  Burghley,  in  reply, 
described  Tremayne  as  "a  man  worthy  to  be  beloved  for  his  honesty 
and  virtues."  In  September,  1576,  he  married  Eulalia,  daughter  of 
Sir  John  St.  Leger  of  Annery.  A  son  Francis,  named  after  Tre- 
mayne's  "Good  Lord"  Bedford,  lived  for  only  six  weeks  after  his 
father,  and  at  his  death  the  estates  passed  to  Degory,  Edmund's 
third  brother.  Degory  erected  in  1588  a  fine  monument  to  his  five 
brothers,  Roger,  Edmund,  Richard  and  the  twins,  with  their  effigies 
well  modelled  and  lifelike.  Edmund  appears  as  an  elderly  man  with 
a  refined  and  thoughtful  face.  Tremayne's  "Discourses  on  Irish 
Affairs"  remain  unprinted  among  the  Cottonian  manuscripts  at  the 
British  Museum. 

Richard  Tremayne  (d.  1584),  younger  brother  of  Edmund,  was 
fourth  son  (the  younger  of  twins)  of  Thomas  Tremavne.  He  was 
sent  to  Exeter  College,  Oxford,  where  he  graduated  B.  A.  in  1547-8. 
He  was  elected  a  fellow  on  March  28,  1553,  and  proceeded  M.  A.  on 
July  17.  He  vacated  his  fellowship  by  flying  to  Germany  in  the  first 
year  of  Mary's  reign.  On  his  epitaph  he  is  stated  to  have  "fled  for 
the  gospel's  sake."  He  was  at  Louvain  on  Nov.  16,  1555,  acting  as 
tutor  to  Sir  Nicholas  Arnold's  son.  He  was  reckoned  among  the 
conspirators  against  the  Queen,  and  on  April  4,  1556,  was  declared  a 
traitor  with  his  brother  Nicholas  and  others  who  were  concerned  in 
Sir  Anthony  Kingston's  plot.  Tremayne  returned  to  England  very 
soon   after    Elizabeth's    accession,  and   was  favourably   regarded  at

court.  He  was  made  Archdeacon  of  Chichester  by  Elizabeth  on 
April  7,  1559.  Cecil  had  some  correspondence  with  Sir  Nicholas 
Throckmorton,  ambassador  in  France,  regarding  Tremayne's  employ- 
ment in  the  diplomatic  service,  "he  having  the  high  Dutch  tongue 
very  well."  But  he  stayed  at  home,  and  was  ordained  deacon  by 
Grindal,  Bishop  of  London,  on  Jan.  25,  1560.  He  had  been  re- 
elected fellow  of  his  college  on  Oct.  17,  1559,  but  vacated  his  fellow- 
ship by  absence  the  ensuing  May.  He  was  also  presented  by  the 
college  to  the  vicarage  of  Menheniot  (Carew),  and  was  installed 
treasurer  of  Exeter  Cathedral  on  Feb.  10,  1560.  For  reasons  not 
stated  in  the  "Bishop's  Register"  he  was  deprived  of  his  treasurer- 
ship,  but  re-installed  on  Oct.  27,  1561,  and  held  the  office  until  his 
death.  He  became  rector  of  Doddiscombleigh  on  Jan.  15,  1561, 
holding  the  living  until  1564,  when  he  resigned.  Tremayne  was 
something  of  a  puritan.  He  sat  in  convocation  as  proctor  for  the 
clergy  of  Exeter,  and  signed  the  Canons  establishing  the  Thirty-nine 
Articles.  On  Feb.  13  he  spoke,  and  gave  his  two  votes  in  favor  of 
sweeping  alterations  in  the  Book  of  Common  Prayer.  He  was 
elected  fellow  of  Broadgate's  Hall  (afterwards  Pembroke  College), 
Oxford,  on  Feb.  20,  1565.  On  Feb.  15,  1566,  he  took  the  degree  of 
B.D.,  proceeding  D.D.  on  April  26.  He  became  rector  of  Combe- 
Martin  in  1569,  and  the  Earl  of  Bedford  vainly  recommended  him 
on  July  23,  1570,  to  Cecil  for  the  vacant  bishopric  of  Exeter.  Tre- 
mayne was  buried  on  Nov.  30,  1584,  at  Lamerton,  and  his  will  proved 
on  Dec.  15  at  Exeter.  On  Sept.  19,  1569,  he  married  Joanna, 
daughter  of  Sir  Piers  Courtenay  of  Ugbrooke.  His  only  child,  Mary, 
married  Thomas  Henslowe.  He  gave  to  Exeter  College  a  copy  of 
the  polyglot  Bibles  in  eight  volumes,  printed  by  Christopher  Plantin 
at  Antwerp,  1569-72,  at  the  command  of  Philip  H. 

Sir  John  Tremayne  or  Tremaine  (d.  1694),  lawyer,  eldest  son  of 
Lewis  Tremayne,  Lieutenant  Governor  of  Pendennis  Castle,  who 
married  Mary,  daughter  and  co-heiress  of  John  Carew  of  Penwarne 
in  Mevagissey,  was  born  in  the  parish  of  St.  Ewe,  Cornwall.  He 
was  brought  up  to  the  study  of  the  law,  by  1678  was  a  man  to  be 
consulted,  and  soon  acquired  considerable  practice.  His  name  fre- 
quently occurs  in  cases  before  the  House  of  Lords  from  1689  to 
1693;  he  was  counsel  for  the  crown  against  Sir  Richard  (iraham, 
otherwise  Lord  Preston,  and  others  for  high  treason,  January  1690-1,

was  engaged  for  Sir  John  Germaine  in  the  action  brought  against 
that  adventurer  by  the  Duke  of  Norfolk  for  adultery  with  the 
duchess,  and  he  acted  for  the  Crown  on  the  trial  of  Lord  Mohun,  a 
brother  Cornishman,  for  the  murder  of  Mountford,  the  actor,  January, 
1693.  Tremayne  was  called  with  others  to  be  Sergeant-at-law  on 
May  I.  1689.  was  made  King's  sergeant,  and  next  day  took  the  oaths, 
when  he  and  his  colleagues  entertained  the  "nobility,  judges,  ser- 
geants, and  others  with  a  dinner  at  Sergeant's  Inn  in  Fleet  Street," 
London.  He  was  Knighted  at  Whitehall  on  Oct.  31,  1689,  and  in 
1690  was  returned  to  Parliament  for  the  Cornish  borough  of  Tre- 
gony.  In  June,  1692,  he  w-as  a  candidate  for  the  recordership  of 
London,  but  was  beaten  at  the  poll.  It  is  recorded  by  Luttrell  on 
Feb.  20,  1694,  that  Tremayne  was  dead.  He  died  issueless.  His 
brother's  descendant  now  lives  at  Heligan,  near  Mevagissey  (where 
the  Sergeant  rebuilt  the  family  mansion),  and  inherits  the  ample 
estates  in  Cornwall  and  Devon.  His  useful  volume,  "Placita  Coronae 
or  Pleas  of  the  Crown  in  matters  Criminal  and  Civil,"  was  published 
in  1723,  many  years  after  his  death,  when  it  had  been  "digested  and 
revised  by  the  late  Mr.  John  Rice  of  Furnival's  Inn."  An  FLnglish 
translation  by  Thomas  Vickers  came  out  in  two  volumes  at  Dublin  in 
1793.  A  collection  by  Tremayne  of  "Entries,  declarations  and 
pleadings"  in  the  reigns  of  Charles  II.  and  James  II.,  numbering  in 
all  182  pages,  is  at  the  British  Museum. 

Joseph  Truman  (1631-1671),  ejected  minister  and  metaphysi- 
cian, son  of  Richard  and  Mary  Truman,  was  born  at  Gedling,  near 
Nottingham,  and  baptized  there  on  Feb.  2,  163 1.  His  father,  who 
held  some  public  post  in  the  place,  got  into  difficulties  by  speaking 
disrespectfully  of  the  "Book  of  Sports."  Joseph  was  educated  first 
by  the  minister  of  Gedling,  and  afterwards  at  the  free  school  at  Not- 
tingham. He  was  admitted  a  pensioner  at  Clare  College,  Cambridge, 
on  June  9,  1647,  proceeded  B.A.  in  1650,  and  M.A.  in  1654.  He 
was  made  rector  of  Cromwell  near  Nottingham  (probably  by  the 
Assembly  of  Divines,  as  his  name  does  not  appear  on  the  institution 
books),  some  time  after  Dec.  4,  1656,  when  the  former  "minister  of 
Cromwell"  (Henry  Trewman,  instituted  July  27,  1635),  was  buried. 
The  similarity  in  the  two  names  (or  possibly  identity  with  a  variation 
in  the  spelling)  suggests  a  family  connection.  After  the  passing  of 
the    Act    of    Uniformity    in    1662,    Truman,    according   to    Calamy, 


24  •  History  of  the  Tremax  Family. 

declined  to  read  the  whole  of  the  service  in  the   Book  of  Common 
Prayer,  because,  he  said,  there  were  "lies  in  it"  ;  to  prove  his  asser- 
tion, he  quoted  the  collect  for  Christmas  Day,  and  pointed  out  that 
not  only  was  the  birth  of  Christ  stated  to  have  taken  place  that  day, 
but  also  on  the  following  Sunday.     The  collect  is  said  to  have  been 
amended  in  consequence,  but  in  reality   it  had  been  altered  by  the 
Savoy  Conference  in  1661.     Truman's  successor  in  the  rectory  was 
instituted  on  Nov.  3,  1662.     After  his  ejectment  he  resided  in  Mans- 
field in  order  to  be  near  his  friend  Robert  Porter,  and  always  attended 
the   services  of  the  estabUshed   church.     He   refused,  however,  all 
offers  of  preferment,  was  frequently  indicted  for  non-conformity,  and 
was  once  unsuccessfully  sued  to  an  outlawry.     He  died  at  Sutton  in 
Bedfordshire  on  July  19.  167 1,  and  was  buried  in  the  chancel  of  the 
church  there  on  July  21.     In  1669   Truman  published  anonymously 
his  first  work,  "The  Great  Propitiation,"  in  which  he  endeavored  to 
explain  the  Apostle  Paul's  theory  of  justification  without  works.     He 
attached  to  his  work  (also  anonymously)  "A  Discourse  Concerning 
the  Apostle  Paul's  meaning  of  'Justification  by  Faith,'  "  in  which  he 
maintained  that  it  was  not  intended  "to  exclude  repentance  and  sin- 
cere obedience  from  being  a  condition  of  our  justification,"  but  that 
they  were  indeed  included  in  the  meaning  of  the  word  "faith."    "The 
Great  Propitiation"  reappeared  in  London  in   167 1,  1672,  and  1843. 
On  the  appearance  early  in  1670  of  Bishop  Bull's  "Harmonia  Apos- 
tolica,"    Truman    felt   that    many    of   his    positions    were    seriously 
assailed,  and  commenced  at  once  to  write  an  answer  in   English  for 
private  circulation.     It  was,  however,  published  anonymously  under 
the  title  of  "An  Endeavour  to  rectify  some  prevailing  Opinions  con- 
trary to  the  Doctrine  of  the   Church  of  England"  (London,    167 1). 
Truman's  main  contention  was   the  all-sufficiency  of  the  Mosaic  law, 
which,  he  argued,  was  able  not  only  to  work  true   sanctification   in 
man,  but  if  rightly  interpreted,  to  insure  eternal  life.     Interpreted  as 
a  law  of  grace,  it  was  no  type  or  shadow,  but  the  very  gospel  itself, 
to  which  the  Sermon  on  the  Mount  had  added  nothing  essential,  and 
which  remained  in  force  to  the  present  day.     In  the  same  year  (167 1) 
Truman,  still  with  Bull's  views  in    mind,  published  anonymously   "A 
Discourse  of  Natural  and  Moral  Impotency,"  in  which   he  contended 
that  whereas  natural  inability  excuses  from  blame  or  guilt  in  propor- 
tion to  its  extent,  moral    inability   aggravates  it  in  like   proportion.

consisting  as  it  does  in  aversion  of  tlie  will.  Tlie  book  was  re- 
published with  the  writer's  name  in  1675  ^^^  again  in  1834.  Bull 
answered  Truman  at  some  length  in  his  "Examen  Censurae,"  pp. 
149  et  seq.  Truman's  writings  all  exhibit  close,  subtle  argumentation. 
He  was  a  man  of  unusual  learning  and  untiring  diligence  and  industry.

Dear  Sir — Your  note  of  the  5th  inst.  to  Mr.  Greenlaw  has  been 
forwarded  to  me  by  him  for  reply,  and  has  just  reached  me  at  this 
place  where  I  am  detained  at  the  deathbed  of  a  near  relative — a  fact 
which  must  plead  my  excuse  for  a  hurried  and  incoherent  reply. 

I  should  be  very  pleased  to  undertake  your  case  and  use  my 
best  efforts  to  solve  it  for  you. 

For  the  next  two  or  three  days  my  address  will  be  as  abov^e, 
after  that  at  my  home  at  South  Freeport,  Maine,  where  letters  will 
always  reach  me. 

Truman,  Treeman,  Tremaine,  etc.,  are  probably  all  variants  of  a 
common  name  and  you  are  no  doubt  correct  in  attributing  its  origin 
to  Cornwall,  where  it  is  well  known.  You  are  probably  familiar  with 
the  Tremaine  pedigree  as  given  in  Col.  Vivian's  Cornwall  Visitations, 
which  book,  while  not  strictly  reliable,  is  very  useful  as  a  guide.  I 
have  a  good  correspondent  in  Devonshire  who  can  obtain  Exeter 
wills  (covering  Cornwall)  without  traveling  expense  from  London, 
quite  an  item. 

Please  give  me  all  possible  detail  known  of  Joseph  Truman  and 
his  family  on  which  to  base  my  quest.  Do  you  wish  detailed  report 
of  search  or  simply  the  sifted  results  of  value  ? 

Awaiting  your  further  advice  in  the  matter  I  remain.  Sir, 

Yours  faithfully, 

J.  Henry  Lea.

JOSEPH   TRUMAN    OF    NEW    LONDON,   CONN.     (1666.) 

I.  Joseph  Truman.  His  ancestors  lived  anciently  in  Corn- 
wall, England.  He  was  born  in  Nottinghamshire, .  England.  He 
married  in  England  but  neither  his  wife's  name,  nor  the  name  of  her 
family,  has  yet  been  ascertained.  He  appeared  with  his  wife,  and 
perhaps  some  of  his  children,  at  New  London,  Conn.,  in  1666.  In 
the  following  year  he  was  chosen  Constable,  a  position  of  considerable 
honor  in  those  days.  He  purchased  in  1667  from  Alex.  Piggins,  and 
about  1670  from  Hugh  Roberts,  some  pits  for  tanning,  which  were 
located  in  a  meadow  near  the  entrance  of  Cape  Ann  Lane.  Truman 
Brook  and  Truman  Street  are  named  after  him  and  his  family.  He 
had  two  tanneries,  one  at  each  end  of  this  street  on  Truman  Brook. 
The  brook  ran  into  Bream  Cove  near  the  Hempstead  lot.  He 
appears  as  plaintiff  in  law  suits  in  Oct.,  1682;  May,  1683;  Oct., 
1683,  and  May,  1685.  He  died  in  1697  at  New  London,  Conn.  In 
his  will,  executed  m  Sept.,  1696,  he  mentions  four  children,  Joseph, 
Thomas,  Elizabeth  and  Mary,  his  daughter  Ann  having  died  before 
the  will  was  made.  In  a  note-book,  now  in  the  possession  of  Lucy 
E.  Greene  of  Denver,  Col.,  which  was  owned  by  her  great-grand- 
father, Jonathan  Truman,  appears  the  following  entry  in  1822  : 
•'Jonathan  Truman,  owner  of  this  book,  is  the  son  of  Jonathan  Tru- 
man, born  at  New  London,  June  25,  1730.  He  was  the  son  of 
Thomas  Truman  who  was  also  born  at  New  London.  His  father 
who  was  named  Joseph,  came  to  America  from  England  (Notting- 
hamshire), in  company  with  a  brother  who  settled  in  Virginia. ,  He

"Trimmins,  Abner.     Private  in  Colonel   Philip   Van  Cortlandt's 
Second  Regiment  of  the  New  York  Line." 

Washington  Records  say : 

•'Department  of  the  Interior,  Bureau  of  Pensions,  Washington, 
D.  C,  February  24,  1893.  Sir: — Referring  to  your  communication 
received  in  this  Bureau  by  the  reference  of  Hon.  A.  C.  Hopkins  in' 
which  you  request  information  concerning  the  military  history  of 
Abner  Treman  a  soldier  of  the  Revolutionary  War.  I  have  to  state 
that  his  widow  Mary  McLallen  (maiden  name)  was  granted  a  pension 
for  his  services  in  that  war  as  a  private  in  the  Second  New  York 
Regiment  for  five  years  and  two  months.  Dates  of  enlistment  and 
discharge,  officers  under  whom  service  was  rendered  and  battles 
engaged  in  not  mentioned.  It  appears  that  he  was  honored  with  a 
Badge  of  Merit  for  three  years  faithful  service.  In  the  widow's 
application  for  pension  dated  Feby.  i6th,  1839,  ^^^  states  that  she 
was  married  to  the  soldier  July  (30)  thirtieth,  1785,  at  Alford,  Mass., 
and  that  he  died  August  i8th,  1823.  Very  respectfully,  Charles  P. 
Lincoln,  Deputy  Commissioner." 

"Landmarks  of  Tompkins  County"  says  of  him  : 
"Abner  Treman  passed  his  boyhood  and  reached  the  age  of 
responsibility  just  as  the  struggle  for  freedom  by  the  American 
colonies  was  being  inaugurated  and  with  four  brothers  patriotically 
assumed  his  share  in  the  memorable  contest.  He  was  sixteen  vears 
of  age  when  he  enlisted  in  Col.  Van  Cortland's  Regiment  and  was 
assigned  to  the  Fifth  Company,  serving  until  the  close  of  the  war. 
His  courage,  firmness  and  ability  were  such  that  he  was  selected  by 
Gen.  Washington  himself,  as  one  of  those  to  assist  in  the  capture  of 
Stony  Point,  on  the  Hudson  River.  General  Wayne  was  in  command 
of  the  expedition  ;  Lieutenant  Colonel  Fleury  had  the  immediate 
command  of  the  right  wing,  which  was  composed  of  one  hundred  and 
fifty  volunteers,  and  these  were  led  by  twenty  men  under  Lieutenant 
Gibbon  as  a  forlorn  hope.  Of  these  twenty  men  Abner  Treman  was 
one.  He  was  in  General  Sullivan's  army  and  accompanied  him  on 
his  expedition  through  the  Wyoming  Valley  and  up  the  Susquehanna. 
He  was  successively  corporal,  sergeant  and  sergeant-major.  It 
appears  from  the  records  at  Washington  that  he  was  honored  with  a 


46  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

Badge  of  Merit  for  faithful  service.  He  received  as  a  bounty  for  his 
services  in  the  Continental  Army  six  hundred  acres  of  land  located 
in  what  was  then  the  County  of  Herkimer.  The  Indian  title  had 
been  e.xtinguished,  and  the  State  of  New  York  had  divided  a  large 
tract  of  land  into  twenty-eight  townships  of  one  hundred  lots  each, 
and  each  lot  containing  six  hundred  and  sixty  acres  of  land,  to  pay, 
as  a  bounty,  to  her  soldiers  who  were  in  the  army  of  the  Revolution. 
Abner  Treman's  number  drawn  was  Lot  No.  2,  Township  No.  22. 
It  proved  to  be  a  strip  of  land  three-fourths  of  a  mile  wide,  and 
about  two  miles  in  length,  on  which  is  now  located  the  beautiful 
village  of  Trumansburg.  N.  Y.  He  came  in  1792  with  his  wife,  three 
children,  his  brother  Philip  and  Philip's  son  Benjamin  and  his  wife's 
brother,  John  McLallen.  with  his  bounty  warrant  to  take  possession 
of  his  land.  He  immediately  commenced  clearing  up  his  land  and 
gave  a  man  a  deed  of  one  hundred  acres  of  it  for  one  year's  service 
to  work  it.  In  1794  he  concluded  to  build  a  grist  mill,  and  went 
east  to  Chenango  Point,  now  Binghamton,  to  purchase  the  necessary 
machinery.  On  his  return  he  stopped  all  night  at  Davenport's 
tavern  which  was  located  a  mile  from  Ithaca  on  West  Hill.  It  was 
in  the  month  of  February,  and  there  came  on  a  snow  storm  which 
covered  the  ground  about  two  feet  deep.  He  left  the  tavern  at  nine 
o'clock  in  the  morning ;  after  walking  all  day  and  until  about  mid- 
night he  arrived  at  the  house  of  Mr.  Wayburn  on  Goodwins  point, 
and  about  two  miles  from  home.  He  could  go  no  farther,  he  was 
exhausted,  frozen  and  nearly  dead.  They  kindly  cared  for  him  but 
imprudently  put  his  feet  into  warm  water ;  one  of  them  had  to  be  cut 
off  and  it  was  this  that  made  him  a  cripple  for  life.  Abner  Treman 
took  up  land  on  the  site  of  what  is  now  the  village  of  Trumansburg. 
The  settlement  at  this  point  has  had  several  names,  but  its  present 
one  is  derived  wholly  from  the  fact  of  Mr.  Treman's  settlement 
there.  It  was  first  called  'McLallen's  Tavern,'  and  it  is  said  that  at 
one  time  it  was  known  as  'Shin  Hollow.'  Upon  the  authority  of 
Dewitt  Clinton  it  was  also,  and  much  more  appropriately,  known  at 
an  early  day  as  'Tremaine's  Village.'  Just  how  or  when  the  final 
transition  to  its  present  name  occurred  is  not  known.  Mr.  Treman 
had  married  Mary  McLallen,  daughter  of  John  McLallen,  several 
years  before  his  migration  westward.  For  their  dwelling  he  built 
tile  first  honso  on  a  lot   ojiposite   the   present  M.  K.  Church.      It  was

of  course  a  primitive  log  cabin,  its  roof  covered  with  bark.  There 
several  of  his  children  were  born  and  on  the  same  lot  he  eventiially 
erected  the  house  which  is  still  standing.  It  has  been  written  of 
Abner  Treman  that  he  was  a  man  of  marked  characteristics,  full  of 
life  and  animal  spirit,  of  robust  physique  and  powerful  voice,  brusque 
and  sometimes  rough  in  speech,  generous  and  charitable,  yet  exacting 
as  to  his  rights  ;  he  was  respected  by  all  good  citizens  and  feared  by 
the  bad.  The  blood  that  flowed  in  his  veins  was  good  and  strong 
and  he  transmitted  to  his  posterity  the  sterling  qualities  which  he 
possessed  in  so  eminent  a  degree,  and  his  children  and  children's 
children  in  turn  became  prominent  and  representative  people 
wherever  they  lived." 

The  following  is  from  the  pen  of  a  noted  local  historian  : 
"Recollections  of  Abner  Treman.  [From  the  Ithaca  Daily 
Journal,  November  28,  1877.]  A  Tompkins  County  Revolutionary 
Hero.  Editors  Journal :  Having  written  a  few  incidents  of  the  early 
settlement  of  Ithaca,  it  has  given  me  an  opportunity  of  learning  the 
history  of  not  only  its  early  settlers  but  one  of  the  heroes  of  the 
Revolution.  I  have  stated  before  that  on  the  platform,  which  con- 
tained the  officers  of  the  day,  (on  our  Fourth  of  Julv  celebrations  of 
over  fifty  years  ago),  men  were  seen  who  had  fought  to  establish  us 
as  a  nation.  One  of  them  who  used  to  be  there  with  his  wooden  leg, 
was  Abner  Treman  (or  Tremain,  as  it  was  then  spelled)  whose 
history,  most  of  which  I  have  learned  from  his  son  Jared  Treman, 
now  living  at  Trumansburg.  Mr.  Abner  Treman  was  born  in 
Columbia  county,  New  York,  in  1761,  and  at  the  early  age  of  sixteen 
enlisted  in  the  Continental  army  in  the  year  1777,  serving  nearly  six 
years,  or  until  the  war  was  finished  and  received  his  discharge  signed 
by  Gen.  Washington.  He  was  the  grandfather  of  Leonard  Treman, 
Lafayette  L.  Treman,  and  Elias  Treman,  who  have  been  residents  of 
Ithaca  for  over  forty  years,  and  who  were  born  in  this  county.  I  will 
commence  his  history  on  events  that  happened  ninety-eight  years  ago 
but  I  might  say  that  it  would  have  commenced  an  hundred  years 
before  (1778)  at  the  battle  of  Monmouth,  if  he  had  not  been  sent  to 
the  hospital,  as  being  sick  with  the  smallpox,  a  few  days  previous. 
His  courage,  firmness  and  ability  were  such  that  he  was  selected  by 
Gen.  Washington  himself,  as  one  of  those  who  were  to  take  a  hand 
in  the  capture  of  the   fort,  that   was   located   on    Stony  Point,  on  the 


48  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

Hudson  river,  (you  will  permit   me,  Mr.  Editor,  to  take  a  little  from 
history  of  its  situation,  and  the  manner  that   it  was   captured,  on  the 
night  of  the  15th  of  July,  1779,  that  we   may   better  understand  the 
hazard  our  hero  underwent  in  that  battle.)     It  is   several  years  since 
I  have   seen   the   Point,  but  it  is   well   named    Stony   Point,  for   it  is 
covered  with  stones,  and  is  about  300  feet  in   height.     It  was  Wash- 
ington's plan  to  have  taken   another  fort  at   the  same  time,  but  that 
failed,  as  the  men  did   not   come   to  time.     If  the   Americans  .could 
have   taken   both  forts,   they  would   have   made  it  difficult   for  the 
English  war  ships  to  go  up  the  Hudson  river,  and   would   have  given 
the  American  army  the   ferry   at  that   point   of  the   river.      It   was 
Washington  that  planned  the  taking  of  the  fort  and  selected  the  men 
for  the  difficult  task,  and  he  well  knew  that  if  taken  at  all,  it  must  be 
by  surprise.     Six  weeks  previous  the   English  had  taken  it   from  the 
Americans,  and  had  placed  there  six  hundred  men  who  were  building 
and  adding  to  it  breastworks  for   large   cannon  ;  there  was  also  built 
half  way  up  the  hill  an  abatis  of  two  rows  of  sharpened  trees.    There 
had    also    been    placed    there    a   considerable    quantity    of    stores. 
General  Wayne  was  put  in  command  of  the  expedition.     Lieutenant 
Colonel  Fleury  (a  Frenchman)  had  the   immediate   command  of  the 
right  wing,  which  was  composed  of  one  hundred  and  fifty  volunteers. 
and  these  were  led  by   twenty   men   under  Lieutenant  Gibbon  as  a 
forlorn  hope.     Of  these  twenty  men,  Abner  Treman  was  one.     They 
had  to  pick  their  way  up  the  stony  hill  and  when  they  came  to  the 
abatis   it   was  their  duty   to   make   a   way  through   it  for  others  to 
follow.     The  left  wing  was  composed  of  one  hundred   volunteers  led 
by  twenty  men  constituting   another   forlorn    hope   under  Lieutenant 
Knox.     At  half  past  eleven  at  night  orders  were  given  to  march.    On 
the  right  wing   was   Commanding   General   Wayne   with   Lieutenant 
Colonel    Fleury,    and    Treman    says :   'that    as   the   forlorn    hope   of 
twenty  men,  under  (]ibbon,  passed   Col.  Fleury   to  take  the  lead  up 
the  hill,  he  took  each  one  of  them  l)y   the   hand,  and  with  tears  gave 
them  a  parting  kiss.      That  there  might  l)e  no  confusion.  Gen.  Wash- 
ington had  directed  that  each  man  should  have  pinned   on  his  cap  a 
piece  of  white  paper,  and  every  gun  was  unloaded,  the  bayonet   only 
to  be  used,'  and  Treman  said,  'that    instead    of   a  Hint  he  only  had   a 
piece  of  wood  put  in  its  place.     When   the   right  wing   came   to  the 
abatis,  they  encountered  the   out-post   of  the   enemy.     Gen.   Wayne 


Fourth   Generation.  49 

was  wounded  and  seventeen  out  of  twenty  of  the  forlorn  hope  were 
either  killed  or  wounded.  Treman  was  one  of  the  three  who  were 
unhurt.  Major  Murphy,  with  his  men  came  to  the  rescue,  and  within 
an  hour  the  fort  was  taken  with  the  loss  of  fifteen  killed  and  eighty- 
three  wounded.  The  British  had  twenty  men  killed,  seventy-four 
wounded,  fifty-eight  missing,  and  four  hundred  and  seventy-two  taken 
prisoners  with  stores  valued  at  $150,640.  Mr.  Abner  Treman  had 
an  older  brother  in  the  army  who,  after  the  fort  was  taken,  remarked 
to  him,  'Abner,  I  would  rather  have  seen  you  dead  than  to  have  you 
been  a  coward  and  not  gone  with  that  forlorn  hope.'  And  whose 
heart  would  not  move  with  emotions  of  pride  and  pleasure,  if  he 
could  say  that  'my  father's  father  was  there'  ? 

"We  have  all  read  of  Sullivan's  expedition  through  this  country 
in  1779.  Abner  Treman  was  one  of  the  soldiers  of  that  army, 
whether  he  came  up  the  Susquehanna  with  Gen.  Sullivan  from 
Wyoming  valley,  or  was  with  Gen.  James  Clinton,  who  started  from 
Canajoharie,  on  the  Mohawk  river,  and  went  over  to  the  Otsego 
Lake,  and  came  down  the  Susquehanna,  I  am  not  able  to  say ;  but 
the  two  armies  met  at  Tioga  Point  (now  Athens)  and  formed  an  army 
of  about  five  thousand  men.  The  battle  of  Chemung  was  fought  on 
the  29th  of  August,  1779,  ^^^^  Elmira. 

"In  reading  the  history  of  the  battle  it  appears  that  on  the  side 
of  the  Indians  there  were  more  white  men  than  Indians.  It  is  not 
necessary  for  me  to  enter  into  the  particulars  of  that  march,  but  it 
was  finished  in  the  month  of  September,  about  the  28th.  There 
must  have  been  about  six  hundred  of  that  army  in  Ithaca.  Mr. 
Jared  Treman  says,  'that  his  father's  Colonel  was  Col.  Courtland,' 
and  that  he  visited  them  at  Trumansburg,  after  they  settled  there. 
Mr.  George  W.  Schuyler  remarks  'that  his  father  had  a  cousin  by  the 
name  of  Courtland  in  that  army,  as  Colonel,  who  camped  on  South 
Hill,  near  Aurora  street  bridge.  The  Tuscaroras  who  were  scattered, 
lived  two  miles  up  the  Inlet ;  those  at  the  head  of  the  lake  being  the 
Cayugas.  There  are  two  names  that  will  always  remain  green  in 
connection  with  that  expedition,  Horseheads  from  the  number  of 
horses'  heads  found  there,  which  were  left  by  the  army,  and  Pony 
Hollow  from  the  number  of  ponies  found  there,  that  had  also  been 
left  by  them.

home,  a  number  of  years  before  there  was  even  a  township  organized, 
and  this  section  was  in  the  county  of  Herkimer.  The  Indian  title 
had  been  extinguished,  and  the  State  of  New  York  had  divided  a 
large  tract  of  land  into  twenty-eight  townships  of  one  hundred  lots 
each,  and  each  lot  containing  640  acres  of  land,  to  pay,  as  a  bounty 
to  her  soldiers  who  were  in  the  army  of  the  Revolution.  Abner 
Treman's  number  drawn  was  Lot  No.  2,  Township  No.  22.  It 
proved  to  be  a  strip  of  land  three-fourths  of  a  mile  wide,  and  about 
two  miles  in  length,  on  which  is  now  located  the  beautiful  village  of 
Trumansburg.  He  came  in  1792  with  his  wife,  three  children,  and 
his  wife's  brother,  (a  Mr.  McLallen),  with  his  bounty  warrant  to  take 
possession  of  his  land.  His  title  was  of  the  best  as  was  his  land. 
He  immediately  commenced  clearing  up  his  land  and  gave  a  man  a 
deed  of  one  hundred  acres  of  it,  for  one  year's  service  to  work  on  it. 
In  1794  he  concluded  to  build  a  grist  mill,  and  went  east  to 
Chenango  Point,  now  Binghamton,  to  purchase  the  necessary  machin- 
ery, that  could  not  be  made  at  the  farm.  On  his  return  he  stopped 
all  night  at  Davenport's  tavern,  which  was  located  a  mile  from  here 
on  West  Hill.  It  was  in  the  month  of  February,  and  there  came  on 
a  snow  storm  which  covered  the  ground  about  two  feet  deep.  He 
left  the  tavern  at  nine  o'clock  in  the  morning,  after  walking  all  day 
and  until  about  midnight  he  arrived  at  the  house  of  Mr.  Wayburn  on 
Goodwins  Point,  and  about  two  miles  from  home.  He  could  go  no 
farther,  he  was  exhausted,  frozen,  and  nearly  dead.  They  kindly 
cared  for  him,  and  as  far  as  they  knew  did  what  was  for  the  best, 
but  they  imprudently  put  his  feet  into  warm  water,  one  of  them  had 
to  be  cut  off  and  it  was  this  that  made  him  a  cripple  for  life.  He 
died  August  i8th,  1823,  aged  61  years.     \V.  T.  Kddy." 

The  following  letter  was  written  by  a  grandson  : 

"Mecklenburg,  N.  Y.,  Mar.  2 2d,  1876. 

"Dear  Son  : — I  learn  from  Erastus  Treman  today  that  in  the  early 
settlement  of  this  country  as  he  was  informed  by  Grandfather  Abner 
Treman  and  also  his  nephew,  Benj.  Treman,  that  Phillip  Treman,  a 
brother  of  Abner  Treman,  and  Pliillip's  son  Benj.  came  to  this 
country  on  foot,  about  the  year  1792  or  3,  from  about  30  miles  north 
of  Albany,  each  with  a  gun  and  an  ax  and  provisions  for  30  days 
and  one  dollar  in  money,  having  only   6  cts.  left   upon  their   arrival

here  in  the  month  of  June  and  Philhp,  as  he  says,  struck  the  first 
blow  by  any  white  man  at  or  near  Trumansburg.  They  cut  down 
about  8  acres  of  timber  on  the  east  bank  of  the  creek  in  Trumans- 
burg where  ihe  M.  E.  church  now  stands. 

"They  came  back  there  in  the  fall  of  the  same  year  and  cleared 
up  the  timber  that  they  had  cut  before,  saving  enough  and  putting 
up  the  body  of  a  log  house  on  the  N.  W.  cor.  opposite  the  now  Meth. 
church  and  sowed  the  land  to  wheat,  my  grandfather,  Abner  Treman, 
giving  them  each  50  acres  of  his  land  for  coming  here  and  settling 
with  him.  Grandfather  came  here  the  next  spring  from  Chenango 
Co.,  starting  with  oxen  and  sleigh  in  the  month  of  Febry,  1793  or  4, 
and  arrived  here  about  the  first  of  March,  with  his  family,  wife  and  3 
children,  after  living  in  Chenango  Co.  one  year,  having  moved  there 
the  year  before  from  Columbia  Co.  Says  there  were  quite  a  good 
many  Indians  here  at  that  time. 

"Late  in  the  fall  of  the  same  year  Grandfather,  Abner  Treman, 
took  his  oxen  down  to  what  is  now  Ithaca  to  have  them  kept  there 
on  the  marsh  through  the  winter,  and  in  returning  from  there  late  at 
night  froze  both  his  legs,  rendering  amputation  necessary  of  both 
legs,  one  below  the  knee,  the  other  the  front  part  of  the  foot. 

"George  B.  Treman." 

The  following  letter  was  written  by  Abner's  son  Jared  : 

"Trumansburg,  Nov.  24th,  1877. 

"Dear  Nephew  : — I  believe  Uncle  John  McLallen  built  the  first 
frame  house  and  Wm.  Treman  cut  the  tirst  tree.  But  who  cleared 
the  first  land  I  don't  know.  Father  gave  Jesse  Herriman  one  hundred 
acres  of  land  for  one  year's  work.  Father  built  his  first  house  or 
shanty  down  by  the  creek.  I  think  he  did  not  live  there  long.  I 
know  there  used  to  be  preach  trees  there,  where  I  used  to  get  peaches 
when  a  lad.  Father  built  a  log  house  within  a  few  feet  of  the  house 
he  lived  in  when  he  died.  I  remember  when  they  used  to  have 
dances  or  balls  there.  Wm.  Atwater  and  Isaac  Varna  and  many 
others  would  attend.  Father's  frame  house  now  stands  in  center  of 
village;  was  raised  in  1806.  I  think  if  Mr.  Eddy  will  call  on  Mrs. 
James  McLallen  she  will  let  him  look  over  James'  genealogical  record,' 
he  will  get  more  information  than  he  can  anywhere  else.  James  was 
better  posted  than  any  one  that  I  know  and   had  the  record  of  many

events.  If  you  ever  come  here  (it  don't  look  as  if  you  ever  would) 
I  would  go  over  there  with  you  and  you  could  look  for  yourself.  I 
think  it  would  be  very  interesting  to  you  as  he  had  I  think  nearly 
two  ledgers  full  of  events  or  things  that  transpired  during  his  lifetime.

trouble  to  see  for  themselves.     Nothing  more  at  present,  good  by.

The  History  of  Four  Counties,  so-called,  says  : 

"Feb.  1 8,  1819,  Abner  Treman  gave  a  deed  to  the  First  Pres- 
byterian Church  of  Ulysses  three-quarters  of  an  acre  of  land  for  $100, 
for  cemetery  purposes,  where  the  'Old  Cemetery'  nOw  is,  reserving 
certain  rights  that  the  following  quotation  from  the  deed  will  explain  : 
'It  is  hereby  agreed  between  the  Trustees  of  the  First  Presbyterian 
Church  of  Ulysses,  in  the  County  of  Tompkins,  and  Abner  Treman, 
of  said  town,  that  the  said  Abner  Treman,  his  heirs  and  assigns, 
shall  have  the  exclusive  privilege  of  pasturing  the  premises  within 
described  forever,  provided  that  the  said  Abner  Treman,  his  heirs 
and  assigns,  shall  not  put  into  the  said  ground  anything  but  calves 
and  sheep  ;  the  said  Abner  Treman,  his  heirs  and  assigns,  yielding 
and  paying  therefor  yearly,  and  every  year,  on  the  first  day  of  May 
in  each  year,  one  pepper-corn.'  "     The  same  work  says  : 

"The  tombstone  of  Abner  Treman  contains  the  following 
inscription  :  'This  monument  is  erected  to  Abner  Treman,  died  Aug. 
13,  1823.  aged  61  years.  A  native  of  Columbia  Co.,  N.  Y.  A  soldier 
of  the  Revolution,  in  Colonel  Courtland's  Regiment,  and  merited  lot 
No.  2,  Ulysses,  where  his  remains  repose.  He  was  the  first  settler 
in  Trumansburg,  in  1792,  from  whom  it  takes  its  name.' 

"Abner  Treman  erected  the  first  grist  mill,  in  1794.  Part  of 
the  timbers  are  still  (1878)  to  be  seen,  a  little  above  the  stone  mill  of 
j.  W.  Houton,  in  the  village  of  Trumansburg." 

The  following  in  regard  to  Abner  Treman  is  from  the  Trumans- 
burg Free  Press  of  May  12,  1894: 

"One  hundred  years  ago  this  winter  Abner  Treman  brought 
from  ihf  J'.asi  the  first  grist-mill  erected  in  this  township,  in  fact,  the 
first  mill  between  Owego  and  Geneva.  The  winter  was  exceptionally 
severe,  and    Mr.  'I  iciuan   was   so  badly   frozen   on   his   trip  that   it 


Fourth   Generation.  53 

became  necessary  to  amputate  one  of  his  feet.  This  was  in  the 
second  year  of  the  history  of  Trumansburg. 

"The  amputation  was  performed  by  Dr.  Lewis  Halsey,  then  a 
young  physician  of  Seneca  County,  son  of  Hon.  Silas  Halsey,  the 
first  physician  and  one  of  the  earliest  settlers  in  the  country  between 
the  lakes. 

"When  Ur.  Halsey  was  called  by  Mr.  Treman,  and  saw  that 
amputation  was  necessary,  he  said  to  him  :  'You  had  better  send  for 
some  one  else.  1  am  a  young  man  and  have  not  had  the  necessary 
experience.'  But  the  old  soldier  had  so  much  confidence  in  his 
young  friend  that  he  replied  :  'Whoever  else  you  get,  I  want  you  to 
take  it  off.'  Then  the  young  surgeon  went  to  work  and  was  just  ten 
minutes  in  performing  the  operation  and  ligating  the  arteries." 

The  Souvenir  of  the  Trumansburg  (N.  Y.)  Reunion  (1897)  says 
of  him : 

"In  mid-winter  1792,  a  revolutionary  soldier  living  in  Columbia 
county,  resolved  to  brave  the  dangers  and  privations  of  a  journey  to 
the  'far  west'  and  personally  occupy  the  square  mile  of  land  for 
which  he  held  the  grant,  and  had  located — on  the  map.  Abner 
Treman  was  no  common  man  ;  he  came  from  good  stock,  had  proved 
his  worth  on  the  battle  field,  was  in  the  very  prime  of  his  young 
manhood,  full  of  that  spirit  of  patriotism,  progress  and  expansion 
that  gave  the  nation  her  freedom  and  has  made  her  the  pride  of  its 
people,  the  admiration  of  its  sister  nations  and   the  terror  of  its  foes. 

"Mr.  Treman  was  at  this  time  thirty-one  years  old  and  his  family 
consisted  of  a  wife,  Mary  McLallen,  two  children  and  a  brother-in- 
law,  John  McLallen,  a  lad  nineteen  years  old.  With  this  little  family 
and  all  their  earthly  possessions,  in  a  sleigh  drawn  by  two  horses  he 
turned  his  face  westward  and  began  a  journey  that  was  the  opening 
of  a  new  life.  After  weeks  of  toilsome  journeying  in  the  beginning 
of  the  first  month  of  spring,  he  for  the  first  time  saw  the  country 
that  was  to  be  the  home  of  him  and  his  generations.  Just  at  night- 
fall after  a  beautiful  day  the  httle  caravan  emerged  from  the  forest 
on  the  hills  to  the  south  of  what  is  now  Ithaca.  Out  to  the  north 
and  west  lay  the  beautiful  Cayuga.  On  its  glassy  surface  was 
mirrored  the  dense  forests  which  for  as  far  as  the  eye  could  reach 
lined  either  shore.  Masses  of  towering  pine  stood  like  sentinels  in 
the  midst  of  oak,  hickory  and  maple,  whose  bare  and  leafless  branches 


54  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

seemed  to  seek  shelter  under  the  evergreen  of  its  stalwart  neighbor. 
At  their  feet  lay  the  plain,  buried  under  its  snowy  mantle,  across 
which,  somewhere  out  among  the  hills  beyond  but  a  few  miles  away, 
lay  the  haven  of  their  hopes  and  destiny.  The  following  day  the 
hill  was  descended,  the  swampy  plain  crossed  and  striking  an  old 
Indian  trail  along  the  west  bank  of  the  Lake,  night  found  them  at 
Goodwin's  Point,  eight  miles  down  the  Lake,  and  the  guests  of  Mr. 
Weyburn,  who  had  located  there  the  summer  before.  They  were 
most  hospitably  entertained,  and  their  joy  on  finding  that  they  were 
to  have  at  least  one  neighbor,  can  be  imagined.  From  Goodwin's  to 
their  destination  there  was  no  trail,  but  Mr.  Weyburn  kindly  offered 
his  services  as  a  guide,  and  the  next  day  the  party  halted  in  the  dense 
wood,  near  the  center  of  Mr.  Treman's  grant,  on  the  very  spot  where 
now  stands  the  Cooper  house,  Main  street.  Here  Mr.  Treman 
struck  his  ax  into  a  tree,  saying,  "Here  I  build  my  home,''  and  here 
he  did  build  it,  a  rude  log  hut  with  no  windows  or  doors ;  but  it  was 
home ;  and  from  that  little  hut  sprang  the  great  race  of  Tremans. 
Trumansburg  was  born, 

"The  following  year  Mr.  Treman  returned  as  far  east  as  Utica, 
where  he  purchased  a  set  of  mill-stones  and  the  machinery  for  a  grist- 
mill. On  his  return  he  became  lost  in  the  wilderness,  and  when 
found  was  so  badly  frozen  that  amputation  of  one  foot  was  found  to 
be  necessary.  It  is  tradition  that  the  operation  was  performed  by  a 
carpenter  with  the  ordinary  tools  of  his  trade. 

"This  first  mill,  erected  in  1794,  was  the  nucleus  around  which 
grew  in  a  comparatively  short  time  quite  a  settlement.  The  mill 
was  built  of  logs  on  the  site  of  the  present  Stone  Mill.  Its  con- 
struction was  of  the  simplest  possible  character.  There  was  but  one 
run  of  stone,  and  no  elevators  or  conveyors  of  any  description.  The 
grain  was  emptied  directly  into  the  hopper  and  the  product  found  its 
way  by  gravity  through  the  various  processes  to  the  bag  of  the 
customer.  In  those  days  a  grist-mill  was  the  center  of  civilization 
for  a  large  extent  of  territory  which  was  being  rapidly  cleared  and 
settled,  and  as  one  industry  naturally  opens  the  field  for  others  so  it 
was  here.  A  blacksmith  shop,  shoe  shop,  carpenter  shop,  tailor 
shop  and  tavern  soon  followed,  and  in  five  years  from  the  time  that 
.•\bner  Treman  struck  the  first  blow  with  his  ax  he  saw  clustered 
around  him  a  bu.sy  hive  of  industrious  workers."

At  the  time  of  his  death  the  Ithaca  Journal  said  of  him  : 
"Abner  Tremain  was  a  hardy  and  brave  soldier  of  the  Revolution. 
In  this  character  he  served  in  the  regular  army  with  fidelity  and 
honor,  till  he  obtained  a  proper  discharge.  His  arm  helped  to 
achieve  that  independence,  and  those  social  advantages,  which  we 
now  enjoy.  God  shielded  him  in  the  day  of  battle.  The  savage 
shout,  and  the  clangor  of  arms,  were  not  permitted  to  announce  the 
period  of  his  mortality.  Unlike  many  of  his  fellow-soldiers,  he  pre- 
served the  lands  which  he  merited  and  received  for  his  military 
services,  at  the  hands  of  a  grateful  country.  Improved  by  his 
industry  and  economy,  they  are  now  chiefly  possessed  by  his  bereft 
widow  and  oft'spring.  The  deceased  was  one  of  the  earliest  settlers 
in  his  town.  He  experienced,  in  an  eminent  degree,  the  hardship 
and  privations  incident  to  such  enterprizes.  He  has  moved  in  most 
of  our  social  circles.  We  have  long  known  and  respected  him  as  a 
neighbor  and  friend.  But  the  ardent  eye  of  the  soldier  is  suffused 
in  the  darkest  shades !  The  warrior's  powerful  arm  is  palsied ! 
While  the  companions  of  Washington  and  Warren,  of  Greene  and 
Montgomery,  are  falling  in  rapid  succession  to  the  tomb,  the  bosom 
of  the  patriot  heaves  a  sigh,  and  his  eye  drops  a  tear  over  the  frailty 
of  man." 

Calendar  of  Land  Papers  of  New  York  says  : 

"Abner  Tremain  and  others,  in  Nov.,  1791,  gave  a  power  of 
attorney  to  Jasper  Hopper,  to  obtain  their  warrants  from  the  United 
States  for  lands  to  which  they  were  severally  entitled,  and  when 
obtained  to  assign  the  same  to  the  Surveyor  General,  for  the  use  of 
the  people  of  the  State  of  New  York," 

The  following  is  a  certified  copv  of  Abner  Treman's  deed  for 
his  bounty  lands :

The  following  in  regard  to  Abner  Treman  and  the  name  of 
Trumansburg  is  from  the  Ithaca  Journal : 

"The  subjoined  description  of  Ithaca  and  vicinity,  in  1810,  is 
taken  from  the  private  journal  of  DeWitt  Clinton,  written  during  his 
journey  through  this  state  as  one  of  the  commissioners  appointed  by 
the  legislature  to  explore  the  country  between  the  Lakes  and  the 
navigable  waters  of  the  Hudson,  and  to  report  upon  the  most  eligible 
route  for  a  water  communication. 

"Governor  Clinton  arrived  at  Tremain's  Village  (Trumansburg) 
on  August  10,  181  o,  and  passed  the  two  succeeding  days  in  Ithaca 
and  vicinity. 

"Concerning  this  locality  at  that  date  the  journal  reads  as  follows  : 

"  'We  dined  at  Tremain's  Village,  so  called  from  the  soldier  who 
owns  the  lot  for  military  service.  He  resides  here  and  is  proprietor 
of  the  mills,  and  in  good  circumstances.  The  village  has  several 
houses,  three  taverns,  and  two  or  three  stores,  and  mills  in  a  ravine 
or  hollow,  formed  by  a  creek  which  runs  through  it.  It  is  in  the 
town  of  Ulysses,  and  was  formerly  called  Shin  Hollow,  by  some 
drunken  fellows,  who,  on  the  first  settlement,  frequented  a  log-tavern 
here,  and  on  their  way  home  broke  their  shins  on  the  bad  roads.'  " 

The  following  lines  are  from  a  poem  by  Rev.  Lewis   Halsey, 
D.D.,  at  the  Trumansburg  Reunion.  Aug.  18-19,  1897,  printed  in  the. 
Free  Press  of  that  date  : 

"The  very  family  whose  fame 
Gave  to  Old  Trumansburg  its  name, 
Has  almost  disappeared  from  view 
In  Trumansburg  we  call  the  new."

365.  David  Truman.  (Benjamin',  Joseph^,  Joseph'.)  77, 
Soldier  in  Rev.  War. 

Connecticut  in  the  Revolution  says  of  him  : 

"David  Truman.  Enlisted  May  26,  1777,  for  the  term  of  the 
war,  in  Capt.  Ezekiel  Sanford's  Company  of  Redding,  Conn.;  in  Col. 
Philip  Burr  Bradley's  Rfld.  Reg.  (See  David  Freeman.  Don't 
seem  to  be  certain  of  Truman  or  Freeman.)'' 

Record  of  service  of  Connecticut  men,  in  the  War  of  the  Revo- 
lution, War  of  18 1 2,  and  Mexican  War,  compiled  by  authority  of  the 
General  Assembly,  Hartford,  1889,  says: 

"Fifth  Regiment  'Connecticut  Line.'  Formation  of  1 777-1 781. 
Regiment  raised  for  the  'Continental  Line' of  '77,  to  continue  through 
the  War.  Recruited  largely  in  Fairfield  and  Litchfield  Counties 
with  men  from  all  parts  of  the  state.  Rendezous  Danbury ;  went  into 
camp  at  Peekskill  in  spring  of  '77  and  in  September  ordered  to 
Pennsylvania  with  McDougal's  brigade.  Engaged  in  the  battle  of 
Germantown,  Oct.  4th,  '77,  and  suffered  some    loss.     Assigned    to 


62  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

Huntington's  Brigade  and  wintered  at  Valley  Forge  'yy-'yS.  On 
June  28,  '78,  present  at  battle  of  Monmouth  and  went  into  camp  at 
Redding  'yS-'yg.  In  operation  of  '79  served  in  Heath's  wing  east 
of  the  Hudson ;  its  Light  Co.  under  Capt.  St.  John  detached  to 
Meigs's  Light  Regt.  Wintered  at  Morristown,  '79-'8o,  and  in 
the  following  summer  served  in  Conn,  Division  with  main  army  on 
both  sides  of  the  Hudson.  Wintered  '8o-'8i  at  'Camp  Connecticut', 
village  near  Robinson's  House  opposite  West  Point ;  there  consoli- 
dated for  formation  of  '8o-'83." 

"Name,  David  Trueman.  Company,  Capt.  Sanford's.  Enlist- 
ment, May  26,  1777.     Term,  War.     Remarks,  See  David  Freeman." 

"David  Freeman,  Company  Sanford,  enlisted  May  26,  1777,  for 
the  War.  Second  Regiment  'Connecticut  Line',  David  Freeman, 
paid  from  January  ist,  '81  to  Dec.  31st,  '81.  This  David  Freeman 
(or  Trueman)  was  a  private,  and  the  status  is  that  this  (regimt) 
formed  from  the  Fifth  and  Seventh  Regiments  of  previous  formation." 

Again  on  page  364,  under  "Size  Roll  of  Capt.  Robinson's  Com- 
pany, Feb.  ist,  1783,"  is  David  Freeman.  Resides  Middletown. 
Enlisted  May  24,  1777  for  the  War.  (This  is  evidently  not  the 
David  Freeman  of  the  first  quotation.)  And  again,  on  page  496 
there  is  a  David  Freeman  in  Capt.  Shepherd's  Company  which 
marched  March  31st,  1777,  and  was  discharged  May  19th.  This 
also  not  likely  the  first  David  Freeman.  Again  page  634,  in  the  list 
of  pensioners  is  David  Freeman,  private,  on  the  pension  roles  in  1818. 

This  ends  the  clear  references  relating  to  David  Freeman,  to 
which  name  reference  is  made  under  David  Trueman,  it  being  very 
probable  that  the  first  was  believed  by  the  compiler  to  be  the  same 
man,  or  possibly  the  same. 

Again,  page  644,  in  the  list  of  the  Revolutionary  pensioners,  is 
one  Seth  Trueman. 

370.  Dk.  Thomas  Truman.  (Jonathan^  Thomas-,  Joseph'.) 
He  married  Jan,  31,  1773,  by  Rev.  J.  Snow,  at  Providence,  Sarah 
Jenckes  (daughter  of  Ebenezer  Jenckes  of  Gloucester).  Surgeon  in 
the  Independent  Company  of  Light  Infantry  in  Providence  during 
the  Revolution.  The  census  for  1774  in  Providence  mentions 
Thomas  Truman  as  having  a  family  of  five — himself,  two  sons  under

540.  AsHBEL  Treman.  (Abner^  John\  Joseph-,  Joseph'. J  305. 
He  was  born  Sept.  i,  1796.  He  married  Oct.  16,  181 7,  Mary 
Ayers  (daughter  of  Richard  Ayers.  For  an  account  of  her  ancestry 
see  the  History  of  the  Ayers  Family  in  this  book.)  She  was  born 
Dec.  19,  1799.  He  went  abroad,  visiting  Amsterdam,  Holland, 
before  his  marriage.  He  was  a  merchant  and  farmer,  -and  an 
able  business  man.  She  was  a  member  of  the  Baptist  Church  at 
Mecklenburg  for  many  years  and  lead  in  the  singing.  He  was  a 
Trustee  of  the  Baptist  Church.  After  her  husband's  death  she 
removed  to  Ithaca,  where  she  was  for  many  years  a  member  and 
regular  attendant  of  the  Park  Baptist  Church.  She  gave  a  fund  to 
the  Sunday  School  of  her  old  home  church  and  after  her  death,  her 
son,  Lafayette  Lepine,  gave  a  fund  to  the  same  church  in  memory  of 
his  parents.     He  was  a  Democrat  in  politics. 

At  the  time  of  her  death  the  Ithaca  Daily  Journal  said  : 
"In  the  death  of  Mrs.  Treman  our  community  loses  an  old  and 
most  highly  esteemed  resident.  Her  long  life  was  spent  within  the 
radius  of  Tompkins  county,  at  Trumansburg,  Mecklenburg  and 
Ithaca.  She  was  born  at  Trumansburg,  Dec.  19th,  1799  ;  moved  to 
Mecklenburg  after  her  marriage,  and  from  there,  in  1858,  to  Ithaca, 
where  she  has  since  resided.  Mrs.  Treman  was  marked  by  unusual 
religious  earnestness,  and  her  life  was  characterized,  more  than  any-

thing  else,  by  her  service  and  interest  in  such  matters.  Early  in  life 
she  became  a  member  of  the  Baptist  Church  and  was  an  earnest  and 
ardent  supporter  of  its  teachings  until  her  death.  For  many  years 
she  was  prominently  identified  with  the  Mecklenburg  Baptist  Church, 
being  the  leader  of  its  music,  and  increasing  in  many  ways  its  use- 
fulness. Since  her  removal  to  Ithaca,  she  has  been  a  beloved 
member  of  the  Park  Church  of  this  place ;  a  society  she  dearly 
loved,  and  to  whose  prosperity  she  has  been,  in  every  way  ever  since 
her  connection  with  it,  a  generous  contributor.  Her  attendance  at 
church  was  something  remarkable,  being  maintained  long  after  the 
infirmities  of  age  had  made  it  hazardous.  She  was  trained  in  the 
old  school  of  religious  expression,  and  the  fervor  and  depth  of  feeling 
which  characterized  her  utterances  on  all  religious  themes,  will  not 
soon  be  forgotten." 

He  died  Nov.  14,  1837,  at  the  comparatively  early  age  of  41 
years,  at  Mecklenburg.  She  died  Sept.  15,  1887,  at  Ithaca,  N.  Y, 
Residence  Mecklenburg,  N.  Y.

560.  Jared  Treman.  (Abner^,  John^,  Joseph",  Joseph'.)  307. 
He  was  born  Oct.  5,  1800.  He  married  (ist),  Nov.  23,  18 19,  Anna 
Maria  Louise  (LePine)  Paddock. 

Anne  Marie  Louise  LePine,  the  wife  of  Jared  Treman,  was  born 
Nov.  27,  1794.  Her  father,  Joseph  Roch  Paul  Gilbert  Lafayette 
LePine,  was  a  godson  of  the  Countess  de  Charji^agnac,  and  a  friend 
of  General  Lafayette,  who  was  ten  years  his  senior.  He  came  to 
this  country  with  Lafayette  on  the  occasion  of  the  latter's  visit  in 
1784.  He  owned  or  thereafter  acquired  extensive  interests  in  San 
Domingo,  and  was  also  interested  in  a  vessel  or  line  of  vessels 
operating  between  San  Domingo,  France  and  New  York, 

I'rior  to  1790  he  had  married  Catherine  Kearney,  a  lady  of 
Holland  Dutch  descent  residing  in  New  York.     Louise  was  the  third

child ;  her  brother  Joseph  being  five  years  older,  and  her  elder  sister 
dying  in  childhood.  When  Louise  was  five  years  old,  she  went  with 
her  mother  and  Joseph  to  join  the  husband  and  father  in  France, 
where  they  resided  for  a  time,  and  where  Madame  LePine  died. 
While  Napoleon  was  first  consul  Louise  went  with  her  father  and 
brother  to  San  Domingo.  It  was  during  the  troublous  times  on  the 
island  which  marked  the  beginning  of  the  century,  and  one  morning 
Mr.  LePine  went  out  from  the  city  to  his  plantation  never  to  return. 
He  undoubtedly  perished  in  the  general  massacre  of  the  whites. 

Disguised  as  an  orange  girl,  the  little  Louise,  then  about  ten 
years  of  age,  escaped  on  board  a  merchant  vessel  bound  for  New 
York.  Hidden  beneath  bags  of  coffee,  she  could  hear  the  tramp 
and  clanking  guns  of  the  black  soldiers  on  the  deck  above  searching 
for  refugees ;  and  as  long  as  she  lived  she  vividly  remembered  the 
terrible  experience.  The  escape  of  Joseph  on  a  vessel  bound  for 
France ;  its  capture  by  a  Spanish  privateer ;  his  escape  from  the 
coast  of  Spain  and  return  to  his  grandmother  Kearney  in  New  York, 
are  equally  thrilling.  It  was  not  many  years  after,  when  he  was 
drowned  in  the  East  River. 

Bereft  of  parents,  and  too  young  to  know  how  to  find  her 
relatives  in  New  York,  from  whom  she  had  been  separated  so  long, 
Louise  was  taken  into  the  family  of  Captain  Mussneau,  where  she 
found  a  home  until  at  the  funeral  of  Alexander  Hamilton,  she  was 
recognized  by  a  nurse  who  had  formerly  been  in  her  mother's  employ. 
The  nurse,  taking  the  child's  address,  at  once  informed  her  grand- 
mother ;  and  that  night  after  Louise  had  gone  to  bed,  she  was 
summoned  to  meet  her  brother  Joseph.  She  immediately  exclaimed, 
"My  brother !"  and  rushed  into  his  arms. 

In  18 10,  she  was  married  to  James  Paddock,  by  whom  she  had 
four  children,  Louisa,  Emily,  Ann  Eliza  and  Catherine.  Before  the 
birth  of  Catherine  the  family  had  moved  to  Trumansburg,  N.  Y., 
where  Mr.  Paddock  soon  after  died. 

In  18 19  she  was  married  to  Jared  Treman.  Soon  after  the 
birth  of  Adriana  (1824),  Gen'l  Lafayette,  who  was  then  in  this 
country,  was  informed  of  the  fact  and  asked  the  privilege  of  naming 
the  child  after  his  wife.  He  wrote  on  a  slip  of  paper  now  in  posses- 
sion of  the  Stone  family,  " Adrienne  is  the  name,  to  which  I  beg  leave 
to  join  my  most  affectionate  thanks." 


72  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

But  a  small  portion  of  the  property  interests  held  by  her  father 
was  ever  recovered  except,  that  in  return  for  the  lands  confiscated  in 
San  Domingo,  a  small  annuity  was  secured  from  the  French  govern- 
ment, and  paid  to  her  for  many  years. 

She  died  Sept.  19,  1857.  Her  personal  appearance  is  described 
by  one  who  remembers  her  well  as  follows  :  "petite,  erect,  dark  eyes, 
a  pretty  way  of  dressing  her  hair  by  parting  it  on  one  side,  pretty 
caps,  slender  fingers,  pleasant  voice,  full  vocabulary,  easy  in  manner, 
though  dignified  and  rather  reserved." 

He  married  (2nd),  Feb.  16,  1859,  Wealthy  (Crampton)  Clark 
(widow  of  Samuel  E.  Clark,  M.  D.,  of  Trumansburg,  N.  Y.)  She 
was  born  Sept.  8.  1804.  She  died  March  19,  1881.  He  built  the 
flouring  mill  at  Enfield  Falls,  N.  Y.,  which  he  owned  many  years. 
He  afterwards  resided  at  Enfield,  Trumansburg  and  Millport, 
Chemung  Co.,  N.  Y.  He  also  owned  a  flour  mill  at  Millport.  He 
was  one  of  the  earliest  Masons  in  his  part  of  the  state,  being  a 
member  of  Trumansburg  Lodge.  '  He  was  a  member  of  the  Pres- 
byterian Church  many  years.  Captain  in  the  Militia.  He  was  a 
Democrat  in  politics. 

At  the  time  of  his  death  the  Ithaca  Journal  said  of  him  : 
"He  spent  the  business  portion  of  his  life  at  Enfield  Falls, 
Tompkins  County,  building  the  grist  mill  at  that  point,  and  remain- 
ing until  1850.  Then  he  bought  the  homestead  at  Trumansburg, 
but  after  a  time  removed  to  Millport,  going  into  partnership  with  S. 
B.  Banks  in  the  purchase  of  the  grist  mill  at  that  place.  The  firm  of 
Treman  cV  Banks  conducted  operations  for  about  twelve  years,  and 
two  years  afterwards  Mr.  Treman  returned  to  Trumansburg  where 
he  lived  until  about  1881.  His  subsequent  life  was  passed  with  his 
children,  and  the  last  year  with  his  daughter,  Mrs.  S.  B.  Banks. 
The  deceased  was  for  many  years  a  member  of  the  Presbyterian 
Church,  and  one  of  the  oldest  Masons  in  the  country.  His  life  was 
one  of  industry  and  usefulness.  His  character  commendable  in  all 
respects,  right  principles  guiding  all  his  actions." 

He  died  July  10,  1889,  at  Watkins,  N.  Y.

At  the  time  of  his  death  the  Trumansburg  Sentinel  said  : 

"His  life  has  been  one  of  more  than  ordinary  usefulness.  In 
early  life,  and  in  his  mature  years,  he  had  followed  the  milling 
business.  He  left  this  business  only  when  impaired  health,  largely  a 
result  of  his  years,  made  his  retirement  a  necessity. 

"While  possessed  of  a  mild  disposition,  he  was  very  firm  in  his 
convictions.  He  was  a  bold  advocate  of  principles  which  he  thought 
to  be  true,  without  catering  to  public  sentiment.  He  was  a  temperance 
man,  when  temperance  was  not  as  popular  with  the  people  as  in  these 
times.  He  was  anti-slavery  in  his  sentiments,  and  early  identified 
his  sympathy  with  the  abolition  party,  long  before  that  sentiment  had 
reached  ascendency  in  the  history  of  the  nation. 

"His  religious  life  began  in  1830.  At  that  time  he  united  with 
the  Methodist  Church,  and  remained  a  faithful  member  through  all 
his  subsequent  life.  His  companion,  Mrs.  Jemima  Treman,  with 
whom  he  had  lived  in  sweet  conjugal  affection  for  more  than  64 
years,  still  survives  him;  though  in  very  feeble  health. 

"In  his  life  Abner  Treman  made  many  friends,  and  very  few 
enemies ;  if,  indeed,  he  ever  had  an  enemy.  Those  who  knew  him 
longest  and  best,  loved  him  most.  His  house  was  always  open  for 
the  entertainment  of  ministers  of  the  Gospel,  and  many  of  these  have 
shared  his  hospitalities.  Many  with  whom  he  worshiped  in  early 
life  had  preceded  him  to  the  Higher  State  of  Being.  While  possessed 
with  a  mind  of  unusual  strength,  and  of  rare  judgment,  he  was  modest 
and  retiring  in  disposition,  'esteeming  others  better  than  himself.' 
His    death  was  more  a  result  of  old   age,  than  from  any  apparent

disease.     Having  lived  beyond  'the  allotted  time,'  he  has  finished  his 
work,  and  ended  his  mission  upon  the  earth. 

"Conscious  that  his  end  was  near,  he  conversed  upon  the 
subject  with  great  freedom  with  his  friends.  When  the  time  came 
for  his  departure,  the  faith  which  had  sustained  him  so  long,  was 
equal  to  the  hour ;  and  with  no  fear,  and  no  regrets,  he  waited  the 
coming  of  the  death  angel,  and  then,  imparting  his  blessing  upon 
his  companion  and  children,  entered  into  life  eternal.  Seldom  have 
we  the  opportunity  of  recording  the  death  of  one  whose  life  had  been 
so  pure,  so  eventful  and  true." 

The  Ithaca  Daily  Journal  said  : 

"His  life  has  been  one  of  earnestness  and  uprightness,  while 
possessing  a  nature  gentle  and  kind,  yet  was  uncompromising  in  his 
convictions  of  right.  He  was  forgiving  and  charitable  in  all  his 
intercourse  with  his  fellow  men.  He  commanded  the  respect  of  all 
who  came  in  contact  with  him,  and  was  a  liberal  giver  for  all  church 
and  charitable  purposes.  He  was  a  quiet  and  earnest  Christian, 
exemplifying  his  profession  by  his  daily  life.  He  will  be  greatly 
missed  by  the  entire  community  and  all  who  knew  him.  The 
bereaved  family  have  the  sympathy  of  all.  He  leaves  an  aged  wife 
and  four  daughters  to  mourn  his  loss." 

He  died  Sept.  30  (0.20),  1887.  She  died  Oct.  17,  1891.

20,  1811,  at  Truxton,  Cortland  Co.,  N.  Y.  Farmer.  President  of 
the  Treman  Family  Association,  1879., 

The  following  account  of  the  Treman  Family  Reunion  is  from 
the  Owego  (N.  Y.)  Times  of  Aug.  21,  1879  • 

''On  Thursday  last  the  Trumans  of  this  village  and  vicinity,  and 
the  Tremans  of  Tompkins  county,  held  their  first  reunion  at  Taghanic 
Falls.  There  is  one  peculiarity  about  this  family,  the  residents  in 
Tompkins  County  spell  their  name  Treman  and  in  Tioga  County 
Truman.  About  five  o'clock  on  Thursday  morning  last,  the  Truman 
family  consisting  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Charles  Truman,  of  Flemingville, 
Lyman  Truman,  Jr.,  and  sister,  Mrs.  Gorman,  Orin  T.  Gorman  and 
wife,  Mrs.  Dodge,  Orin  Truman,  Geo.  Truman  and  wife,  William 
Truman  and  wife,  Gilbert  Truman  and  wife,  A.  Chase  Thompson, 
wife  and  child,  W.  P.  Stone,  wife  and  daughter,  B.  L.  Truman  and 
wife,  G^rge  Stratton  and  Lyman  Stanbrough,  left  Owego  for  Ithaca. 


76  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

They  arrived  in  that  village  about  seven  o'clock  and  immediately 
took  the  steamboat  at  Cayuga  Lake  for  Goodwin's  Point.  They  were 
met  by  Leonard  Treman  and  Mr.  and  Mrs.  William  Thompson,  and 
taken  in  carriages  to  the  residence  of  Mr.  Thompson,  where  they 
were  elegantly  entertained,  and  were  then  taken  to  Taghanic  Falls, 
where  the  reunion  took  place.  After  the  festivities  of  the  day  were 
over,  the  Owego  delegation  was  brought  to  Ithaca  in  Mr.  Treman's 
steam  vacht,  and  then  came  by  cars  to  Owego,  arriving  here  in  the 
evening.  The  party  wishes  to  return  their  thanks  to  William  Thomp- 
son and  family  and  other  friends,  for  the  numerous  courtesies 
extended  them." 

We  clip  the  following  in  regard  to  the  reunion  from  the  Ithaca 
Journal : 

"  'The  first  reunion  and  picnic  of  the  Treman  and  McLallen 
families  took  place  at  Taghanic  Falls  north  side,  Aug.  14,  1879. 
The  early  morning,  which  indicated  a  stormy,  unpleasant  time,  soon 
gave  way  to  a  most  delightful  day,  neither  too  hot  nor  too  cold,  with 
a  cool  north  breeze,  it  seemed  as  if  nature  herself  had  done  her  best 
to  render  the  occasion  a  delightful  one.  With  the  arrival  of  the 
regular  steamer  Frontenac,  from  Ithaca  at  71-2  o'clock,  came  a 
delegation  of  about  thirty  of  the  Truman  family  from  Owego,  and 
Mr.  Wm.  Thompson,  of  Goodwin's  point,  very  kindly  furnished 
carriages  to  convey  the  party  to  the  ground.  At  about  ten  o'clock 
the  stream  of  carriages  began  to  arrive  and  from  that  time  until 
noon  the  incessant  arrival  made  one  wonder  if  the  population  of 
Tompkins  County  was  composed  entirely  of  the  families  of  Treman 
and  McLallen.  At  about  noon  the  Ithaca  delegation  arrived  escorted 
by  the  Mecklenburg  cornet  band  and  officers  of  the  day  who  met 
them  near  the  lake.  The  members  of  the  two  families  from  Owego 
and  different  parts  of  I'ompkins  County  composed  the  greater  part 
of  the  assemblage,  but  numerous  relations  were  present  from  Meck- 
lenburg, Elmira,  New  York,  Olean  and  Westfield,  Pa. 

"  'At  about  one  o'clock  the  company  were  invited  by  the  com- 
mittee of  arrangements  to  the  grove  where  long  tables  were  literally 
groaning  beneath  the  weight  of  good  things  which  had  been  brought 
to  satisfy  the  wants  of  the  inner  man.  In  a  short  time  the  large 
company  numbering,  it  was  estimated,  fully  four  hundred  persons,  ] 
were  seated    and  a    pleasant   sight    it  was   to  look   upon.      In  a  short 


Fifth   Generation.  77 

time  it  became  quiet  and  a  photograph  of  the  scene  was  taken  by 
Hall,  an  artist  from  Trumansburg,  after  which  Rev.  J.  E.  Cathell 
invoked  the  blessing  of  the  Giver  of  all  good  upon  the  company 
present.  The  onslaught  began  and  in  a  short  time,  the  hunger  of 
the  multitude  being  satisfied,  a  resolution  was  offered  and  passed 
that  a  similar  gathering  take  place  on  the  second  Thursday  of 
August,  1880.  After  which  the  following  officers  were  elected  for 
the  ensuing  year. 

'*  'President,  E.  R.  Treman  ;  Vice  Presidents,  Jared  Treman,  D. 
K,  McLallen,  Abner  Treman,  Wm.  H.  McLallen,  Aurora,  111.,  Elias 
Treman,  Ithaca,  George  Truman,  Owego ;  Secretary,  Leonard 
Treman,  Trumansburg;  Treasurer,  G.  J.  McLallen. 

"  'Prayer  was  next  offered  by  Rev.  J.  J.  Phelps,  which  was 
followed  by  an  original  poem  written  for  the  occasion  by  Rev. 
Dwight  Williams,  the  preacher  poet,  who  was  followed  by  Rev.  J.  E. 
Cathell,  who  made  a  short  speech.  Next,  Rev.  J.  J.  Phelps  made  a 
short  but  happy  speech  and  the  exercises  at  the  table  terminated. 

"  'It  being  the  wish  of  many  present,  about  a  dozen  of  the  older 
members  of  both  families  were  grouped  and  a  photograph  of  them 
taken  by  the  artist,  Mr.  Hall,  and  a  more  venerable  group  it  would 
be  hard  to  find.  May  their  days  be  long  upon  the  land.  A  book 
was  kept  in  which  all  members  of  either  family  were  requested  to 
record  their  names  and  we  believe  nearly  all  did  so. 

"  'The  utmost  harmony  and  good  feeling  prevailed  ;  people  who 
had  never  met  each  other  before  becoming  acquainted  without  the 
formality  of  an  introduction,  saying  :  'We  are  all  cousining  today,  let 
us  know  each  other  better.'  To  the  enjoyment  of  the  occasion  the 
genial  proprietors  of  the  Taughannock  House,  Messrs.  Root  &  Burg- 
hardt,  contributed  very  largely,  doing  all  in  their  power  for  the  comfort 
of  their  guests.  Keeping  the  house  as  they  do  on  strictly  temperance 
principles,  makes  it  a  very  desirable  place  for  such  gatherings.  As  the 
day  grew  on  those  from  a  distance  began  to  think  of  returning  home 
and  each  went  feeling  that  it  had  been  good  to  be  there  and  that  if 
their  lives  were  spared  the  second  Thursday  in  August,  1880,  would 
again  find  them  gathered  together  to  renew  the  acquaintance  made 
that  day.  A  resolution  was  passed  to  the  effect  that  an  account  of 
the  gathering  should  be  furnished  the  Ithaca  Journal  and  in  accord- 
ance with  that  request  I  offer  the  foregoing  outline  of  the  day's 
pleasant  event.     F,  B.  A.'  "

1800.  Leonard  Treman.  (Ashbel^,  Abner'',  John',  Joseph', 
Joseph'.)  541.  He  was  born  June  18,  1819,  at  Mecklenburg,  N. 
Y.  He  attended  the  Ithaca  Academy,  1834-5.  He  married,  Oct. 
20,  1846,  Almira  Corley  (daughter  of  John  Corley,  merchant,  of  New 
York  City,  and  Katharine  Fernhower  of  Philadelphia,  son  of  Henry 
Corley  and  Katharine  Corley,  who  came  from  Germany  in  1782  to 
New  York  City  and  afterwards  resided  at  New  Rochelle,  N.  Y.  The 
history  of  the  Corley  family  is  as  follows  :  Henry  Corley  came  to  this 
country  from  Germany  in  the  year  1782  and  landed  *n  New  York. 
Soon  afterwards  moved  to  New  Rochelle ;  was  a  millwright  and 
carpenter  by  trade.  His  wife's  name  was  Katharine.  Had  five  sons 
and  two  daughters,  born  in  succession  as  follows,  viz  :  Henry,  Joseph, 
Casper,  Eliza,  Katharine,  John  and  Christopher.  He  lived  in  New 
Rochelle  about  ten  years,  when  he  died  and  was  buried  there,  his 
son  John  then  being  twelve  years  old.  About  two  years  after  that 
the  family  moved  to  New  York.  Katharine,  his  wife,  died  in  New 
York  in  about  the  year  1824  and  was  buried  in  the  Presbyterian 
Cemetery  between  Rivington  and  Staunton  Streets.  She  was  about 
ninety  years  old.  John  Corley,  the  son  of  Henry  and  Katharine 
Corley,  was  born  in  Germany  in  the  year  1782.  He  came  to  New 
York  with  his  father's  family  when  eighteen  months  old,  moved  to 
New  Rochelle  and  lived  there  till  he  was  twelve  years  old,  then  his 
father  having  died  the  family  moved  to  New  York.  About  that  time 
John  went  to  Hudson,  where  he  lived  with  a  man  four  years,  working 
at  all  kinds  of  work  and  then  came  back  to  New  York.  Soon  after 
was  bound  for  the  term  of  five  years  to  Cams  &  Hazlett,  on  John 
Street,  near  Cliff,  to  learn  the  chairmaker's  trade.  After  working  out 
his  apprenticeship  he  worked  jour  work  for  about  three  years,  when 
work  became  very  dull   and  he  got  out  of  work.     He  then  went  into 


98  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

the  grocery  business  at  the  corner  of  Fiatta  and  Henry  Streets. 
At  the  end  of  one  year  he  sold  out  and  in  the  year  1812 
during  the  embargo  he  went  into  the  chair  business  at  No.  7 
Peck  SHp.  He  was  there  7  years,  then  went  to  west  side  of  Pearl 
Street,  near  Beekman  Street.  Afterward  he  moved  to  Franklin 
Square  and  continued  there  18  years.  The  lot  ran  through  to  Cliff 
Street.  Lived  on  the  same  premises.  He  was  married  on  Dec.  27, 
1806,  being  one  year  after  the  great  eclipse,  to  Katharine  Fernhower 
who  was  born  in  Philadelphia  in  1787,  but  at  that  time  lived  in  New 
York.  John  Corley  was  baptized  July  2,  1814.  He  died  Feb.  8, 
1869.  Katharine,  his  wife,  was  baptized  March  3,  1816.  She  died 
Nov.  22,  1853).  Almira  Corley  was  born  May  25,  1823.  He  was 
the  first  of  the  notable  Treman  brothers  to  take  up  his  residence  in 
Ithaca.  After  leaving  school  he  entered  the  store  of  Wood  &  Nye 
at  Ithaca  as  a  clerk  where  he  remained  two  years,  until  his  father's 
death  when  he  returned  home.  Having  a  natural  aptitude  for 
business  he  again  took  up  a  business  life,  becoming  a  clerk  in  the 
hardware  store  of  Edmund  G.  Pelton  in  Ithaca.  In  the  year  1844 
his  brother  Lafayette  joined  him  and  they  purchased  Pelton's  busi- 
ness and  established  the  firm  of  L.  &  L.  L.  Treman,  which  became 
Treman  Brothers  when  their  younger  brother,  Elias,  joined  the  firm 
in  1849.  They  were  associated  together  in  business  over  half  a 
century.  He  was  one  of  the  organizers  and  the  first  President  of  both 
the  Ithaca  Water  Works  Company,  1864-88,  and  the  Ithaca  Gas 
Light  Company,  1870-88.  President  of  the  Ithaca  Savings  Bank, 
1887-8.  Director  in  the  Newfield  and  Ithaca  Plank  Road,  1850. 
Director  in  the  Ithaca  and  Athens  Railroad  Company,  1869-74,  and 
Cayuga  Lake  Railroad  Company,  187 1-4.  He  was  a  Democrat  in 
politics.  Trustee  of  the  Village  of  Ithaca,  1850  and  1869.  Treas- 
urer and  Trustee  of  the  Congregational  Church  many  years. 

Landmarks  of  Tompkins  County  says  of  him  : 

"Leonard  Treman's  early  education  was  obtained  in  the  district 
schools  of  his  native  village,  finishing  with  a  term  at  the  Ithaca 
Academy  in  the  winter  of  1834-5.  In  the  latter  year  he  took  up  his 
first  occupation  on  his  own  account  by  engaging  as  a  clerk  in  the 
store  of  Wood  &  Nye,  in  Ithaca,  where  he  remained  two  years,  when 
his  father  died  and  he  returned  to  Mecklenburg.  His  early  tastes 
were  wholly  turned  towards  a  mercantile  career,  and  with  the  purpose 


Sixth   Generation.  99 

of  making  that  his  life  work  he  again  came  to  Ithaca  and  entered  the 
employ  of  Edmund  G.  Pelton,  who  was  carrying  on  the  hardware 
trade.  From  that  time  onward  until  near  the  time  of  his  death  he 
retained  his  connection  with  that  business.  In  the  year  1844  his 
brother,  Lafayette  L.,  joined  him,  and  the  firm  of  L.  &  L.  L.  Treman 
was  founded  as  successors  of  Mr.  Pelton.  The  business  prospered 
as  most  business  will  when  superintended  by  men  of  ability,  integrity 
and  industry.  On  the  first  of  February,  1849,  Elias,  the  youngest 
brother,  came  to  Ithaca  and  joined  the  firm,  the  style  becoming 
Treman  &  Brothers.  On  the  first  of  February,  1857,  Leander  King, 
a  cousin  of  the  Tremans,  who  had  been  long  and  faithful  in  their 
employ,  was  admitted  to  the  partnership  and  the  style  was  again 
changed  to  Treman,  King  &  Co.,  and  so  remains  at  the  present  time 
(1894),  though  other  changes  have  been  made  in  its  membership. 

"In  the  year  1849,  when  Elias  Treman  came  into  the  firm,  they 
acquired  a  foundry  and  machine  business  then  located  on  the  East 
Hill  on  the  south  bank  of  Cascadilla  Creek.  These  works  were 
subsequently  burned  and  the  business  was  then  transferred  to  the 
corner  of  Cayuga  and  Green  Streets,  and  was  very  successfully  con- 
ducted under  the  firm  name  of  Treman  &  Brothers  and  distinct  from 
the  hardware  trade.  Under  the  firm  name  of  Treman  &  Co.,  Leonard 
Treman  also  established  a  general  hardware  business  in  Watkins, 
Schuyler  Co.,  N.  Y.,  which  was  continued  until  a  few  years  ago. 

"While  these  extensive  operations  would  seem  to  have  been 
sufficient  to  satisfy  the  ambition  of  most  men,  as  well  as  to  employ 
one's  whole  time,  such  was  not  the  case  with  Mr.  Treman  or  his 
brothers.  They  foresaw  the  future  importance  of  the  village  and  its 
needs,  and  were  the  builders  and  owners  of  a  large  portion  of  the 
stock  of  the  Ithaca  Water  Works,  which  has  continued  in  the  family 
ever  since,  and  they  took  a  large  share  of  the  stock  of  the  Ithaca 
Gas  Light  Company.  Mr.  Treman  was  made  president  of  the  former 
company  in  1864  and  of  the  latter  company  in  1870  and  held  the 
offices  until  his  death.  It  hardly  need  be  added  that  the  various 
important  positions  to  which  he  was  chosen  were  filled  and  their 
duties  administered  with  the  same  faithfulness  and  ability  that  had 
long  characterized  the  conduct  of  his  private  afTairs.  In  the  business 
and  social  life  of  Ithaca  his  position  was  an  enviable  one  and  was 
honored  by  him  in  the  same  degree  that  it  honored  him."

loo  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

At  the  time  of  his  death  the  Ithaca  Democrat  said  : 
"In  the  death  of  Mr.  Leonard  Treman,  which  occurred  last 
Friday  morning,  our  community  has  lost  another  good  citizen  whose 
hold  upon  its  business  and  social  life  was  a  strong  one.  Seldom  has 
a  death  here  made  a  more  profound  impression.  It  was  hoped  that 
his  illness,  caused  by  a  disease  of  the  spine  producing  muscular 
atrophy,  would  not  prove  fatal,  but  as  he  had  not  been  in  robust 
health  for  some  time  his  powers  of  resistance  were  unable  to  cope 
with  a  malady  that  might  not  have  proved  immediately  fatal  to  a 
younger  or  a  stronger  man.  Mr.  Treman  had  nearly  attained  the  age 
allotted  to  man,  being  sixty-eight  years  old.  He  leaves  a  widow  and 
one  daughter,  Mrs.  John  Bush,  of  Buffalo.  Deceased  was  the  senior 
member  of  one  of  our  oldest  and  most  reliable  business  firms,  first 
known  as  Treman  Brothers,  successors  to  Edmund  G.  Pelton  in  the 
foundry  and  hardware  business,  and  latterly  as  Treman,  King  &  Co., 
firm  names  which  have  long  been  associated  with  enterprises  that 
have  added  greatly  to  the  growth  and  prosperity  of  Ithaca.  Mr. 
Treman  was  the  oldest  son  of  the  late  Ashbel  Treman,  of  Mecklen- 
burg. Two  brothers,  Lafayette  and  Elias  Treman,  and  one  sister, 
Mrs.  Charles  D.  Johnson,  are  the  surviving  members  of  his  family. 
He  began  life,  as  so  many  of  our  self  made  men  do,  as  a  clerk,  in 
order  to  obtain  that  knowledge  of  business  methods  that  he  was 
afterwards  to  make  so  valuable  to  himself  and  others  in  building  up 
a  large  business  on  enduring  foundations.  The  firm  which  he  founded 
has  been  dissolved  only  by  death.  As  a  village  official,  the  leading 
spirit  of  several  local  railroad  enterprises,  director  of  the  Tompkins 
County  National  Bank,  president  of  the  Savings  Bank,  Ithaca  Water 
Works  and  Gas  Light  companies,  and  trustee  and  treasurer  of  the 
Congregational  Church,  Mr.  Treman  well  and  faithfully  performed 
all  the  duties  which  these  various  interests  required.  In  his  social 
relations,  his  genial  manners  were  but  the  expression  of  a  kind  and 
sympathetic  nature.  A  staunch  Democrat,  he  was  always  true  to  his 
party  and  rejoiced  in  its  success.  In  closing  this  imperfect  tribute 
to  a  character  and  career  of  marked  worth  and  usefulness,  we  regret 
to  so  ill  express  the  loss  that  this  community  has  sustained  by  the 
death  of  Leonard  Treman." 

The  Ithaca  Daily  Journal  said  : 

"Leonard  Treman  died  of  spinal  disease  and   muscular  atrophy 


Sixth   Generation.  ioi 

shortly  after  eight  o'clock  this  morning.  Mr,  Treman's  health  had 
been  feeble  for  some  months,  but  it  was  not  until  about  three  weeks 
ago  that  he  was  obliged  to  relinquish  his  numerous  business  cares 
and  remain  a  prisoner  at  home.  When  first  prostrated  it  was 
generally  hoped  and  expected  that  his  naturally  robust  constitution 
would  prove  sufficiently  strong  to  throw  oK  the  ailment  and  permit  a 
speedy  return  to  health.  But  about  two  weeks  ago  his  family  realized 
that  his  condition  was  critical  and  that  the  end  was  surely  at  hand. 
Mr.  Treman  was  one  of  Ithaca's  landmarks,  having  been  very  prom- 
inently identified  with  the  community's  important  industries  for  more 
than  two  generations. 

"Mr.  Treman  personally  superintended  the  many  important  and 
varied  interests  of  which  he  had  long  been  the  head,  and  regularly 
fulfilled  the  public  duties  that  had  claim  to  his  attention.  In  1862 
he  went  to  Europe  and  visited  England,  Ireland,  Scotland,  Switzer- 
land and  France. 

"Mr.  Treman  was  a  man  of  military  bearing,  of  unfailing  courtesy 
and  possessed  a  well-poised  judgment.  His  knowledge  of  history 
was  found  in  familiar  conversation  with  friends  to  be  quite  thorough 
and  extensive. 

"His  loyalty  to  truth  and  justice  was  well  known.  He  never 
gave  his  support  to  a  policy  or  institution  until  convinced  of  the 
claims  of  it,  and  any  cause  or  friend  once  gaining  his  adhesion,  his 
devotion  could  be  absolutely  relied  upon  so  long  as  sound  reasons 
for  his  support  remained  in  force.  He  was  a  man  of  tender  sympathy 
and  ever  ready  to  minister  to  those  who  were  in  trouble.  His  loss 
will  be  deeply  felt  by  the  Congregational  Church  and  by  the 
community." 

The  Ithacan  said  : 

"Mr.  Leonard  Treman,  one  of  Ithaca's  most  prominent,  wealthy 
and  influential  citizens,  passed  away  from  earth  life  last  Friday 
morning.  The  sad  event  cast  a  pall  over  the  entire  community,  for 
his  friends  were  legion.  Mr.  Treman  had  suffered  from  failing  health 
for  several  months,  but  it  was  not  until  about  three  weeks  before  his 
demise  that  he  reluctantly  laid  aside  the  cares  of  business,  to  which 
he  had  so  long  been  accustomed,  for  the  confinement  of  his  home 
and  the  sick  room — never,  alas,  to  leave  alive.  Spinal  disease  and 
muscular  atrophy  was  the  cause  of  his  death.     There  was  no  thought 


I02  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

at  first  of  a  fatal  termination  of  the  disease  and  his  death  seemed 
sudden  to  the  many  who  were  wont  to  meet  him  daily  in  the  numerous 
circles  of  business  with  which  he  was  so  prominently  connected. 

"Leonard  Treman  has  filled  numerous  positions  of  public  trust 
and  responsibility  in  the  village  of  his  choice,  having  served  the 
people  as  trustee  and  director  of  many  important  enterprises  during 
its  history.  For  many  years  he  was  trustee  of  the  Ithaca  Savings 
Bank,  until  recently  when  he  was  elected  its  president.  He  was 
director  of  the  Tompkins  County  National  Bank,  president  of  the 
Ithaca  Water  Works  Company  and  the  Ithaca  Gas  Light  Company. 
Mr.  Treman  had  also  for  several  years  been  a  trustee  and  treasurer 
of  the  Congregational  Church  of  Ithaca.  He  has  ever  fulfilled  with 
promptness  and  faithfulness  the  various  duties  devolving  upon  these 
several  important  positions,  and  his  loyalty  to  truth  and  justice  are 
too  well  known  to  need  comment." 

At  the  time  of  her  death  the  Ithaca  Daily  Journal  said  : 
"At  the  age  of  13  she  came  with  her  parents,  on  a  canal-packet- 
boat — the  only  mode  of  travel,  in  that  day,  between  New  York  and 
Ithaca,  excepting  coaches.  Here  since  that  time  she  has  resided. 
Mrs.  Treman  derived  from  her  German  parents  most  estimable  and 
solid  traits  of  character.  She  possessed  a  charitable  disposition  and 
sound  judgment,  and  her  speech  was  guided  by  instinctive  wisdom. 
With  a  liberal  hand  she  responded  to  the  demands  of  religion  and 
philanthropy.  Mrs.  Treman  as  well  as  her  late  lamented  husband, 
was  profoundly  concerned  in  the  welfare  of  the  church  to  which  she 
belonged. 

"In  the  city  hospital,  also,  she  was  deeply  interested,  and  before 
she  succumbed  to  illness  she  had  made  wise  arrangements  for  the 
completion  of  the  furnishing  of  a  room  in  that  institution.  The  society 
of  Ithaca  experiences  a  great  loss  in  the  death  of  Mrs.  Treman. 
An   only  surviving  sister,  Mrs.  Sammis,  resides  in  New  York  City." 

He  died  May  25,  1888,  at  Ithaca,  N.  Y.  She  died  May  19, 
1897,  at  Ithaca.     Residence  Ithaca,  N.  Y.

LAFAYETTE     LEPINE     TREMAN 


MRS.    ELIZA     MACK     TREMAN 


Sixth   Generation.  103 

1804.  Lafayette  Lepine  Treman.  (Ashbel^  Abner'',  John^ 
Joseph",  Joseph'.)  542.  He  was  born  April  3,  182 1,  at  Mecklen- 
burg, N.  Y.  He  attended  Penn  Yan  Academy.  "  He  married  April 
9,  1849,  Eliza  Ann  Mack  (daughter  of  Hon.  Ebenezer  Mack  and 
Eleanor  Dey,  daughter  of  Peter  Dey  and  Eleanor  Board.  For  IffuIT 
account  of  her  ancestry  see  the  History  of  the  Mack,  Dey  and 
Board  Families,  in  this  volume.)  He  was  one  of  three  brothers  who 
have  left  their  impress  upon  the  history  of  the  City  of  Ithaca,  N.  Y., 
where  they  spent  nearly  all  their  lives,  taking  a  leading  part  in  the 
social,  business,  religious,  educational  and  political  affairs  of  its 
people.  An  older  brother,  Leonard,  had  preceded  him  in  Ithaca 
but  he  soon  joined  him  and  formed  the  firm  of  L.  &  L.  L.  Treman 
in  the  hardware  business  ;  the  firm  name  became  Treman  Brothers 
upon  the  accession  of  their  younger  brother,  Elias,  to  the  firm  in 
1849,  ^^^^  ^v^th  various  changes  in  the  firm  name,  the  three  brothers 
were  associated  together  in  business  for  a  period  of  over  fifty  years. 
He  commenced  his  business  life  as  a  clerk  in  the  hardware  store  of 
James  D.  Morgan,  at  Penn  Yan,  N.  Y.  He  came  to  Ithaca  in  1844, 
to  engage  in  business  for  himself  and  ever  afterwards  made  it  his 
home.  The  success  which  he  won  was  due  to  his  own  energy  and 
talents  together  with  a  courtesy  and  kindliness  which  ever  made  him 
friends.  His  activities  did  not  entirely  cease  even  in  advancing 
years  till  age  compelled  him  to  devolve  many  of  his  duties  upon  his 
son  who  had  been  trained  to,  and  did,  succeed  him  in  most  of  his 
business  positions.  His  business  activity  may  be  shown  by  the 
many  official  positions  which  he  held.  He  was  elected  President  of 
the  Tompkins  County  National  Bank  in  1873  ^^'^  held  the  position 
until  his  death  in  1900.  Under  his  administration  this  bank  became 
known  as  one  of  the  soundest  financial  institutions  in  the  interior  of 
the  State.  He  was  also  one  of  the  organizers  of  both  the  Ithaca 
Gas  Light  Company  and  the  Ithaca  Water  Works  Company  and  was 
President  of  both  companies  from  1888  until  his  death.  He  was 
also  a  Director  of  the  Ithaca  Trust  Company,  and  of  the  Lyceuin 
Company.  Upon  the  organization  of  the  Ithaca  and  Athens  Rail- 
road Company  he  was  elected  its  Secretary  and  held  the  position 
several  years.  He  was  a  Democrat  in  politics  but  did  not  care  for 
office.  He  early  took  an  interest  in  the  affairs  of  St.  John's  Protest- 
ant Episcopal  Church,  of  which  he  was  a  member  and  Warden  over

fifty  years,  1 847-1 900,  being  a  generous  contributor  to  the  support  of 
its  many  interests.  He  also  remembered  the  church  of  his  father 
and  mother,  and  just  before  he  died  he  sent  the  Baptist  Church  at 
Mecklenburg  a  handsome  fund  in  their  memory.  In  his  death 
Ithaca  lost  one  of  its  most  upright  citizens,  one  who  was  foremost  in 
every  movement  for  the  welfare  of  the  community  in  which  he  lived. 
His  presence  was  ever  welcome  in  the  Church  and  social  circle  and 
if  he  had  any  enemies  they  did  not  make  their  presence  known. 
The  officials  of  the  bank  and  other  institutions  over  which  he  pre- 
sided, passed  appropriate  resolutions  upon  his  death,  recognizing 
his  worth  and  paying  just  tribute  to  his  memory.  He  was  a  member 
of  St.  Augustine  Commandery,  Knights  Templar,  of  Ithaca.  He 
was  an  Ensign  in  the  old  State  militia. 

Landmarks  of  Tompkins  County  says  of  him  : 

"He  received  his  education  in  the  common  schools  supple- 
mented by  a  period  of  study  in  the  Penn  Yan  Academy.  In  that 
village  he  found  his  first  employment  away  from  home  as  a  clerk  in 
the  hardware  store  of  James  D.  Morgan.  In  the  year  1844,  when 
he  was  twenty-three  years  old,  he  came  to  Ithaca  and  joined  with  his 
elder  brother,  Leonard,  in  the  hardware  trade  under  the  firm  name 
of  L.  &  L.  L.  Treman,  succeeding  Edmund  G.  Pelton. 

''This  young  man  was  possessed  of  exceptional  natural  business 
ability,  which  he  had  assiduously  cultivated  during  his  clerkship  at 
Penn  Van,  and  when  the  two  brothers  joined  their  interests  in 
Ithaca  it  was  with  a  firm  determination  to  accomplish  just  what  they 
ultimately  did  accomplish,  the  building  up  of  a  successful  and  exten- 
sive trade  in  an  establishment  that  would  be  an  honor  to  the  place 
and  bring  them  a  justly  earned  competence.  This  determined  pur- 
pose has  governed  Mr.  Treman  ever  since,  and  while  other  interests 
have  in  later  years  claimed  much  of  his  attention,  he  has  never  per- 
mitted his  allegiance  to  his  first  legitimate  business  to  falter. 

"The  qualifications  before  noted  soon  gave  Mr.  Treman  an 
acknowledged  position  among  the  most  enterprising  business  men  of 
Tompkins  County,  while  his  reputation  for  staunch  integrity  led  to 
his  being  called  to  several  positions  of  trust  and  responsibility.  He 
served  for  a  time  as  Secretary  of  the  Ithaca  and  Athens  Railroad 
before  its  consolidation  with  the  Lehigh  Valley  system.  He  early 
became  a  Director  in  the  Tompkins  County  National  Bank,  and  in 


Sixth   Generation.  105 

1873  was  chosen  its  President,  a  position  which  he  still  holds,  (1894). 
Under  his  skillful  financial  guidance  this  sound  old  institution  is 
known  as  one  of  the  most  successful  of  the  banks  of  the  interior  of 
the  State.  In  1888  he  was  made  President  of  the  Ithaca  Gas  Light 
Company  and  the  Ithaca  Water  Works  Company,  both  of  which 
positions  he  still  occupies.  In  their  management  his  counsel  has 
always  been  for  enterprising  liberality  towards  the  public,  a  policy 
that  has  at  the  same  time  been  to  the  interest  and  prosperity  of  the 
companies.  He  is  also  a  director  and  one  of  the  principal  promoters 
of  the  Lyceum  Company,  which  has  just  completed  one  of  the 
finest  opera  houses  in  the  State.  He  is  also  one  of  the  original 
Board  of  Directors  of  the  Ithaca  Trust  Company.  In  all  of  these 
positions  Mr.  Treman  has  won  the  entire  confidence  and  respect  of 
those  with  whom  he  has  been  associated.  Modest  and  retiring  in 
his  temperament,  with  unfailing  courtesy  for  all  and  a  broad  charity 
and  kindliness  for  the  weaknesses  of  human  nature,  Mr.  Treman  has 
found  a  warm  place  in  the  community  outside  of  his  large  circle  of 
business  connections.  He  is  a  member  of  the  St.  John's  Protestant 
Episcopal  church,  and  since  1847  has  continuously  held  the  office  of 
Warden,  contributing  cheerfully  of  his  means  to  the  building  up  of 
the  cause  of  religion.  Like  other  members  of  his  family  Mr. 
Treman  is  a  Democrat  in  politics,  but  entirely  without  desire  or 
taste  for  public  office." 

At  the  time  of  his  death  the  Ithaca  Democrat  said  editorially  : 

"With  the  death  of  Lafayette  L.  Treman  there  passes  away  from 
the  city  of  Ithaca  one  of  its  most  highly  honored  and  justly  esteemed 
citizens. 

"For  more  than  fifty  years  Mr.  Treman  has  been  prominently 
identified  with  the  business  life  of  this  community.  Coming  here 
in  1844,  with  his  brother,  Leonard  Treman,  he  engaged  in  the  hard- 
ware business.  He  lived  to  see  a  modest  hardware  store  of  early 
days,  in  what  was  then  only  a  small  village,  grow  to  be  one  of  the 
most  prosperous  and  one  of  the  largest  mercantile  establishments  of  a 
thriving  city. 

"Among  the  men  who  have  won  success  in  the  business  life  of 
Ithaca,  of  few  can  it  be  more  truthfully  said  than  of  Mr.  Treman, 
that  success  was  truly  earned  and  well  deserved. 


io6  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

"His  enterprise,  his  good  business  judgment,  his  industry,  his 
uitegrity  won  for  him  the  high  position  in  this  community  which  he 
enjoyed.  Of  his  customers  he  made  friends.  His  conscientious 
regard  for  fairness  and  justice  in  business  transactions  led  him  to  be 
accorded  many  positions  of  trust  and  responsibility  and  the  qualities 
which  made  him  a  successful  merchant  made  him  a  successful  banker. 

"He  was  the  President  of  the  Ithaca  Gas  Light  Company  and 
the  Ithaca  Water  Works  Company  and  his  management  of  these 
enterprises  was  always  characterized  by  a  generous  and  considerate 
treatment  of  the  working  classes. 

•'Mr.  Treman  was  a  Democrat  in  politics,  and  a  true  Democrat 
by  nature.  No  man  in  humble  station  was  by  him  despised.  'Before 
man  made  us  citizens,  great  Nature  made  us  men.'  Mr.  Treman 
recognized  in  all  men  something  of  worth.  Courtesy  and  kindness 
were  not  by  him  reserved  for  some,  but  were  habitually  extended  to 
all  with  whom  he  came  in  contact.  His  death  will'  be  sincerely 
mourned  by  all  who  knew  him." 

The  Ithaca  Daily  Journal  said  editorially  : 

"Ithaca  loses  in  the  death  of  Lafayette  L.  Treman  a  character 
of  whose  kind  there  are  all  too  few  representatives.  Upright  and 
respected  all  his  life,  manly  and  admired  all  his  maturity,  Mr.  Treman 
held  the  confidence  of  the  community  for  many  years.  He  was  a 
leader  in  business  affairs,  a  pioneer  in  public  spirit,  and  a  promoter 
of  public  improvements.  In  church  and  in  charity  he  was  ever  ready 
with  work  and  with  substance ;  his  counsel  was  valued  and  followed. 

"Mr.  Treman  was  distinctively  a  man  of  positive  character,  of 
energetic  and  forceful  mind.  He  was  progressive  in  all  that  the 
word  implies — forward  and  upward.  His  daily  association  was  a 
benefit ;  his  converse  was  uplifting ;  his  doings  were  an  example. 
Cleanly  and  commendable  in  words  and  works,  Mr.  Treman  was 
highly  and  justly  esteemed,  and  his  memory  will  be  a  constant 
inspiration  to  those  who  knew  him." 

In  another  column  the  same  paper  said  : 

"Lafayette  L.  Treman  passed  to  the  other  world  at  4  o'clock 
this  morning  after  a  brief  illness,  during  which  his  family  had  been 
encouraged  to  hope  that  he  might  recover.  The  announcement  this 
morning  on  the  doors  of  the  Treman,  King  &  Co.  stores,  'Closed  on

account  of  the  death  of  Lafayette  L.  Treman,  one  of  the  founders  of 
the  firm,'  was  read  by  hundreds  of  the  people,  and  through  all  the 
city  during  the  day  the  history  of  the  deceased  was  the  most  promi- 
nent topic  discussed. 

"He  was  a  member  of  the  St.  John's  Episcopal  Church  and  since 
1847  has  continuously  held  the  office  of  warden,  contributing  cheer- 
fully of  his  means  to  the  building  up  of  the  cause  of  religion. 

"Like  other  members  of  his  family  Mr.  Treman  was  a  Democrat 
in  politics,  but  entirely  without  desire  or  taste  for  public  ofifice. 

"For  nearly  sixty  years  the  name  of  Lafayette  L.  Treman  has 
been  coupled  in  Ithaca  with  purity  and  modesty,  rare  intellectual 
power,  gentleness,  consideration  for  employes,  firmness,  integrity. 
He  was  a  model  husband  and  father,  always  looking  far  in  adyance 
of  his  day  ;  profoundly  respected  and  trusted  by  the  entire  community  ; 
a  sincere  churchman,  a  loyal  friend  and  an  ideal  of  physical  manhood, 
not  indicating  his  ripe  age.  All  the  honors  due  from  mankind  to 
such  a  combination  of  virtues  and  graces  are  now  cheerfully  and 
publicly  accorded  to  him  who  laid  them  down  this  morning  for  final 
judgment. 

"Not  one  word  has  been  uttered  about  him  except  of  praise  and 
respect,  and  of  sympathy  for  the  family  whose  loss  and  sorrow  are  so 
great." 

The  Ithaca  Daily  News  said  : 

"This  morning  Ithaca  lost  one  of  its  oldest  and  most  highly 
esteemed  citizens,  in  the  death  of  Lafayette  L.  Treman.  He  was  the 
last  of  three  brothers  who  took  a  very  active  interest  in  the  business 
life  of  Ithaca  during  the  last  half  century.  For  several  months  Mr. 
Treman  has  been  in  failing  health  and  to  his  family  and  nearest 
friends  his  death  at  this  time  was  not  wholly  unexpected." 

At  a  meeting  of  the  directors  of  the  Tompkins  County  National 
Bank  the  following  memorial  was  presented  : 

"In  the  death  of  Lafayette  L.  Treman,  which  occurred  on  the 
27th  of  April,  the  Tompkins  County  National  Bank  suffers  the  irre- 
parable loss  of  its  president,  and  this  community  one  of  its  most 
upright  and  prominent  citizens. 

"He  died  at  the  ripe  age  of  79  years,  after  a  life  more  than 
ordinarily  filled  with  the  activities  of  a  varied  and  successful  business

career  For  more  than  half  a  century  he  left  the  imprint,  of  his  own 
personality  upon  the  numerous  business  enterprises,  both  corporate 
and  private,  with  which  he  was  identified,  and  to  all  of  them  he 
brou-ht  the  aid  of  his  wise  counsel  and  sound  judgment,  and  con- 
tributed his  unceasing  effort  to  promote  their  successful  devel- 
opment. 

-This  Bank  owes  much  to  his  devotion.  He  was  first  elected 
as  a  director  42  years  ago,  and  was  chosen  its  president  in  the  year 
,873,  and  he  continued  to  hold  this  office  until  the  time  of  his 
death.  During  all  these  years  he  has  given  his  best  efforts  to  up- 
build this  institution,  and  its  present  highstanding  is  owing  largely 
to  his  untiring  energy  in  its  behalf. 

"He  was  a  safe  counselor,  and  an  earnest  advocate  of  a  high 
standard  in  all  business  methods.  He  commanded  the  respect  of 
all  classes  in  this  community,  not  only  because  of  his  probity  m  all 
business  affairs,  but  by  reason  as  well  of  his  manly  virtues  in  his 
•private  life.  His  death  is  universally  lamented  and  will  cause 
especial  sorrow  in  his  family  circle,  and  yet  the  grief  there  as  every- 
where will  be  tempered  with  the  fond  recollection  of  a  well  spent  and 

a  well  rounded  life. 

•'Resolved,  That  the  foregoing  be  spread  upon  the  minutes  of 
the  Bank,  and  a  copy  thereof  suitably  engrossed,  be  presented  to  the 
family— to  whom  in  their  bereavement  we  tender  our  sincere 
sympathy." 

Minutes  adopted  April  28,  1900,  at  a  special  meeting  of  the 
Vestry  of  St.  John's  Church  : 

'•Since  it  has  pleased  Almighty  God,  in  His  providence,  to 
terminate  the  earthly  life  of  our  late  associate,  Lafayette  L.  Tremaai, 
Senior  Warden  of  St.  John's  Church, 

"Therefore  the  Rector  and  Vestry,  representing  the  whole  parish 
and  congregation,  desire  to  put  on  record  our  sense  of  the  great  loss 
we  have  sustained  in  the  departure  of  one  who  as  Vestryman  and 
Warden  had  served  so  long  and  so  faithfully. 

"It  is  now  fifty-three  years  since  he  was  first  elected  Vestryman. 
Thirty-nine  years  ago  he  became  Warden  and  was  re-elected  each 
year.  In  the  discharge  of  the  duties  thus  imposed  upon  him  he  was 
ever  most  faithful.  His  interest  in  the  church  was  sincere  and 
unwavering.     Mis  judgment   was   sound,  and   his   advice  invaluable.

His  hand  was  always  open  and  his  benefactions  constant.  Kind 
and  courteous  to  all,  he  was  universally  esteemed  and  beloved,  and 
was  the  ideal  of  a  Christian  gentleman. 

"His  life  was  rounded  out  to  completeness  and  in  the  fullness  of 
days  he  was  gathered  to  his  fathers  in  the  communion  of  the  Church ;, 
in  the  comfort  of  a  reasonable  hope,  and  in  perfect  charity  M'ith  all; 
men.  With  full  hearts  we  bid  him  farewell  for  a  time,  and  commend 
him  to  the  holy  keeping  of  Him  whom  he  faithfully  served. 

"In  the  full  consciousness  of  our  own  loss  we  turn  to  those  who 
are  indeed  bereaved,  and  we  offer  to  his  widow  and  children  our 
tenderest  sympathy  in  the  heavy  trial  which  has  befallen  them.  We 
commend  them  to  Him  who  alone  can  give  strength  in  the  time  of 
trouble,  and  that  eternal  peace  which  passeth  understanding.

At  the  time  of  his  making  the  gift  to  the  Mecklenburg  Baptist 
Church  the  Ithaca  Daily  Journal  said  : 

"  'A  Blessed  Christmas  Day.'  A  Gift  of  $1,000  by  Lafayette  L. 
Treman  to  the  Mecklenburg  Baptist  Church.  At  the  close  of  the 
musical  program  on  Christmas  night  in  the  Mecklenburg  Baptist 
Church,  the  pastor.  Rev.  J.  Bruce  Abbott,  made  an  announcement 
to  his  people  and  friends  of  a  'Christmas  Gift'  of  one  thousand 
dollars  from  Lafayette  L.  Treman,  to  that  society.  In  the  letter 
accompanying  the  same  Mr.  Treman  states  his  wish  to  thus  honor 
his  beloved  Christain  mother,  long  a  member  of  said  church.  Said 
gift  coming  to  and  also  honoring  his  cousin,  Mrs.  Lufanny  Grant, 
the  oldest  living  member  of  the  church,  who  lovingly  handed  the 
same  over  to  its  pastor  and  people  at  once.  Well,  indeed,  did  it 
conclude  the  most  excellent  exercises,  and  add  to  brighten  the 
already  brilliantly  decorated  little  chapel,  and  also  brighten  many 
eyes  and  faces,  and  make  glad  all  true  hearts  of  God's  children.  It 
so  impressed  others  that  glad  tears  of  joy  were  visible  and  put  such

a  genuine  meaning  upon  the  whole  evening  of  God's  great  Gift  of 
Love  in  His  Son  (for  lost  humanity). 

"Other  members  of  this  loyal  family  have  already  remembered 
this  dear  old  church  in  honor  of  their  parents,  as  well  as  others  of 
different  families  now  living  in  this  vicinity,  and  it  will  be  indeed 
good  news  to  all  to  know  of  this  last  gift  and  also  to  know  that  our 
finances  are  already  in  good  investments,  and  satisfactory  to  the 
church. 

"A  unanimous  vote  of  this  church,  thanking  our  dear  benefactor 
and  brother  for  his  generosity  to  us,  is  the  desire  of  all  concerned."

was  born  June  i,  1832,  at  Stratford,  Conn.  He  was  the  youngest  of 
three  brothers  who  settled  at  Ithaca  and  became  noted  in  its  history 
as  successful  business  men  and  prominent  citizens  for  over  half  a 
century.  After  leaving  school  he  entered  the  hardware  store  of  his 
brothers  at  Ithaca  in  1847,  and  two  years  afterwards  became  a 
partner  in  the  business  under  the  firm  name  of  Treman  Brothers. 
He  was  one  of  the  organizers  and  a  Director  in  both  the  Ithaca  Gas 
Light  Company  and  the  Ithaca  Water  Works  Company.  Director 
in  the  Tompkins  County  National  Bank  several  years  and  also  in  the 
Ithaca  Trust  Company.  Trustee  of  the  Ithaca  Savings  Bank. 
President  of  the  Village  of  Ithaca,  1861.  Captain  of  the  Protective 
Police  of  the  Fire  Department  eighteen  years.  Chief  Engineer  of 
the  Fire  {department,  1866.  Member  of  the  Board  of  Education 
several  years.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Citizens'  Committee  which 
prepared  the  Charter  of  the  City  of  Ithaca.  He  was  a  Democrat  in 
politics.  He  was  for  many  years  a  Trustee  of  the  Presbyterian 
Church    of    Ithaca.     He    built  the  Lyceum  Block  at  Ithaca  in    1898. 

"Landmarks  of  Tompkins  County"  says  of  him  : 
"Elias  Treman  attended  school  in  his  native  village  and  finished 
in  the  Penn  Yan  Academy,  after  which  he  entered  the  employ  of 
Morgan  &  Armstrong  in  Penn  Yan  as  clerk  in  their  hardware  store 
(where  his  brother  was  already  engaged)  and  remained  there  six 
years.  In  1847  ^^^  came  to  Ithaca  and  entered  the  employ  of  the 
then  well  established  firm  of  L.  &  L.  L.  Treman,  becoming  a  partner 
in  said  firm  on  February  i,  1849,  the  style  being  thereby  changed  to 
Treman  &  Brothers.  In  this  connection  he  has  ever  since  remained 
to  the  present  time  (1894).  Uniting  his  admirable  business  qualifica- 
tions with  those  of  his  brothers,  a  foundry  and  machine  shop  were 
built  and  the  hardware  trade  largely  extended.  When  the  building 
of  the  water  works  was  taken  up  he  was  made  one  of  the  directors 
of  the  company,  and  also  in  the  Gas  Company,  which  positions  he 
holds  at  the  present  time.  A  large  share  of  the  burden  of  directing 
the  mercantile  business  of  the  firm  falls  upon  his  shoulders.  He  is  a 
Democrat  in  politics,  like  his  brothers,  but  also  like  them  has  never 
become  an  aspirant  for  public  office,  though  he  has  capably  filled 
the  position  of  President  of  the  Village  of  Ithaca.  Mr.  Treman 
enjoys  to  the  fullest  extent  the  confidence  and  respect  of  the 
community." 


£12  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

He  was  thrown  from  his  carriage  and  seriously  injured  June  ist, 
1098,  and  died  from  the  effects  of  his  injuries. 

The  following  account  of  the  accident  is  from  the  Ithaca  Daily 
Journal,  June  2,  1898: 

"Our  well  known  townsman,  Elias  Treman,  met  with  a  serious 
accident  yesterday  afternoon  while  driving  to  his  summer  cottage  on 
the  west  shore  of  the  lake.  He  was  accompanied  by  Charles  D.  John- 
son, who  sat  with  him  on  the  rear  seat  of  a  democrat  wagon,  Jasper 
Woodsin  driving  Mr.  Treinan's  gray  horse  singly.  When  nearly 
opposite  the  James  L.  Baker  place  a  snake  was  seen  gliding  across 
the  road  at  which  the  driver  aimed  a  blow  with  his  whip.  The  swish 
of  the  whip  startled  the  horse,  causing  it  to  spring  forward  so  abruptly 
that  the  seat  and  its  occupants  were  thrown  out.  Mr.  Johnson  was 
slightly  stunned  by  the  fall  but  quickly  regained  control  of  his  senses. 
He  saw-  Mr.  Treman  lying  motionless  in  the  road,  with  the  seat 
across  his  body,  he  having  struck  on  the  back  of  his  neck,  and  sus- 
tained a  dislocation  of  the  neck.  Mr.  Treman  was  placed  in  Professor 
John  L.  Morris's  carriage,  which  came  along  opportunely,  and  brought 
to  his  home  in  this  city,  where  he  was  attended  by  Dr.  Biggs. 

'Tn  answer  to  inquiries  this  morning  relative  to  Mr.  Treman's 
condition  a  reporter  was  informed  that  he  passed  a  fairly  comfortable 
night  but  that  both  legs  were  paralyzed  from  his  hips  down.  It  is 
hoped  that  this  condition  may  be  only  temporary,  inasmuch  as  Mr, 
Treman  despite  his  advanced  years  is  an  unusually  strong  and 
robust  man. 

"The  news  of  the  accident  spread  through  the  city  very  swiftly 
last  evening  and  awakened  a  general  sentiment  of  regret. 

"A  specialist  in  consultation  is  expected  to   reach  here  tonight." 

The  same  paper  said  editorially,  June  4.  1898  : 

"Not  half  a  dozen  men  in  this  city  have  been  so  long,  actively 
and  extensively  engaged  in  business  here  as  Elias  Treman.  Few 
citizens,  if  any,  enjoy  as  large  and  intimate  acquaintance  with  tlie 
people  of  Tompkins  county.  Hale  and  cheery  to  the  very  instant  of 
the  accident  which  suddenly  invalided  him  it  is  but  natural  that 
thousands  are  eager  for  frequent  and  detailed  reports  from  his  bed- 
side. The  fortitude  and  cheerfulness  which  marked  his  daily  walk 
are  reported  unimpaired." 


Sixth   Generation.  113 

At  the  time  of  his  death  The  Ithaca  Democrat  said  editorially  : 

"In  the  death  of  Elias  Treman,  Ithaca  loses  one  of  its  ablest 
and  staunchest  business  men,  one  who  has  impressed  upon  the 
business  life  of  our  city  the  stamp  of  his  individuality  to  a  remarka- 
ble degree. 

"His  name  has  ever  stood  as  a  tower  of  strength  in  our  business 
and  commercial  circles.  His  sturdy  integrity,  his  cheery  encourage- 
ment, his  indomitable  courage  and  spirit  has  furnished  to  many  a 
young  man  that  incentive  which  has  resulted  in  business  success. 
He  was  ever  a  man  of  the  people  caring  little  for  ostentation  and 
outward  show,  and  wonderfully  gifted  in  his  ability  to  correctly  read 
and  judge  the  men  with  whom  he  came  in  contact. 

"He  more  than  any  man  the  writer  ever  knew  valued  men  for 
what  they  were  rather  than  what  they  appeared  to  be.  He  hated 
sham  ;  but  ever  prized  and  applauded  in  no  uncertain  way  what  he 
saw  of  good  in  mankind  without  reference  to  the  coat  or  social  posi- 
tion of  the  wearer.  His  friends  and  business  acquaintances  every- 
where valued  his  friendship  because  they  believed  it  sincere,  and  thus 
it  is  that  throughout  this  and  neighboring  counties  there  is  many  a 
sad  heart  today  plunged  in  real  grief  because  of  his  death. 

"His  has  been  a  long,  prosperous  and  honorable  career.  One 
that  may  well  serve  as  an  example  to  the  younger  men  of  Ithaca. 

"While  his  life  was  essefitially  a  business  life  to  which  he  was 
ever  devoted,  he  yet  found  time  to  mingle  freely  with  his  fellow 
citizens  in  social  functions  where  he  was  ever  a  favorite,  and  to 
make  himself  felt  in  everything  that  pertained  to  the  welfare  of  our 
city. 

"A  good  citizen  in  every  sense  of  the  word,  a  kind  neighbor,  a 
fearless  advocate  of  the  right,  a  manly  man,  such  was  Elias  Treman. 
Ithaca  will  miss  him  sadly,  but  she  cannot  forget  the  example  of  his 
life  so  closely  allied  to  the  business  integrity  and  public  spirit 
of    her  citizens." 

The  Ithaca  Daily  Journal  said : 

"Elias  Treman  died  about  one  o'clock  this  morning  of  the 
injuries  he  received  by  being  accidentally  thrown  from  his  carriage, 
near  his  summer  cottage  on  the  west  shore  of  Cayuga  lake,  the  first 
of  last  June.  Distinguished  non-resident  surgeons  were  called  to  aid 
his  own  physician,  but  they  frankly  admitted  their  inability  to  avert 


n_l  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

the  inevitable  and  fatal  result  that  must  follow  so  serious  an  injury 
as  the  severing  of  the  spinal  cord. 

"Elias  Treman  accepted  his  awful  misfortune  in  a  philosophical 
and  Christian  spirit.  During  the  long  contest  with  the  Angel  of 
Death  he  never  complained.     He  suffered  no  pain.     His  passing  was 

peaceful. 

"The  prominence  of  the  deceased  and  his  immediate  family,  a 
prominence  long  maintained  and  steadily  increasing,  in  the  financial, 
intellectual,  social  and  religious  life  of  Ithaca,  makes  a  sketch  of  his 
ancestry  interesting  and  appropriate  at  this  time.  *  >i<  -. 

"Elias  Treman,  the  subject  of  this  article,  was  born  in  Decem- 
ber, 1822,  fifteen  years  before  his  father,  Ashbel,  died.  His  child- 
hood was  passed  in  Mecklenburg,  his  youth  in  Penn  Yan. 

•Tn  1844  Leonard  and  Lafayette  Treman  purchased  the  hard- 
ware store  of  Edmund  Pelton  on  the  southeast  corner  of  Owego  (now 
State)  and  Cayuga  Streets  in  Ithaca.  They  continued  the  hardware 
store  in  conjunction  with  a  foundry  and  machine  shop.  In  1847 
Elias  came  to  Ithaca  and  served  as  clerk  in  the  store.  In  1849  he 
became  a  partner.  In  1857  Leander  R.  King,  R.  H,  Treman  in 
1883,  and  in  1892  C.  E.  Treman,  became  partners. 

"Leonard  Treman  died  in  1888.  Lafayette  retired  from  the 
firm  in  1897. 

"Treman  Brothers  met  with  success  from  the  beginning  of  their 
mercantile  venture.  The  hardware  store  became  the  basis  for  a 
system  of  wider  and  more  important  corporate  and  financial  pursuits, 
including  banking,  gas  works,  water  works,  etc.,  for  which  Leonard 
and  Lafayette  withdrew  from  active  service  in  the  store  many  years  ago. 

"The  published  history  of  the  town  of  Ulysses  credits  Abner 
Treman,  his  grandfather,  with  'great  force  of  character,  plain  and 
expressive  manner  and  address.'  That  also  applied  to  his  grandson, 
Elias  Treman.  He  had  also  a  stately  presence  and  a  splendid  con- 
stitution, for  at  75  he  appeared  as  vigorous  and  nearly  as  supple  as 
he  was  at  45. 

•Although  an  earnest  Democrat,  Elias  Treman  could  not  be 
induced  to  accept  party  or  political  office,  except  in  1861  when  he 
was  elected  President  of  the  Village  of  Ithaca.  In  1865,  while  a 
member  of  Tornado  No.  3,  he  was  elected  Chief  Engineer  of  the  Fire 
Department. 


Sixth   Generation.  115 

"He  was  a  member  of  the  non-partisan  Citizens'  Committee  that 
framed  our  city  charter. 

"At  the  time  of  his  accident  he  was  a  member  of  the  Protective 
Fire  Police,  having  been  its  captain  for  fourteen  years,  a  member  of 
the  Board  of  Education,  a  director  of  the  Tompkins  County  National 
Bank,  the  Ithaca  Savings  Bank,  the  Ithaca  Trust  Company,  the 
Ithaca  Water  Works  Company,  and  the  Ithaca  Gas  Company. 

"He  was  chairman  of  the  board  of  trustees  of  the  Presbyterian 
Church  and  senior  member  of  the  well-known  firm,  Treman,  King  & 
Company. 

"He  was  opposed  to  rhetorical  obituary  or  passionate  praise  of 
the  dead.  He  once  said  :  'A  community  knows  its  own  members 
well.'  Hence  his  theory  is  followed  in  this  article  and  words  of 
praise  are  unsaid,  for  Elias  Treman  was  one  of  the  best  known  men 
in  the  city  and  county." 

The  Ithaca  Daily  News  said  : 

"Elias  Treman  passed  away  peacefully  at  one  o'clock  this  morn- 
ing at  his  home  on  the  corner  of  Buffalo  and  Geneva  Streets,  his 
death  being  the  result  of  an  injury  which  he  received  by  being  thrown 
from  his  carriage  on  the  first  day  of  last  June,  when  on  his  way  to 
his  summer  cottage  on  the  shore  of  Cayuga  Lake.  He  was  thrown 
backward  from  the  carriage,  and  the  accident  resulted  in  the  severing 
of  the  spinal  cord  at  the  seventh  vertebra,  causing  paralysis  of  almost 
the  entire  body.  He  was  confined  to  his  bed  for  the  four  months 
following  the  accident.  He  was  always  cheerful,  and  accepted  the 
result  of  the  accident  with  resignation. 

"Elias  Treman  was  an  ardent  Democrat  in  politics,  but  was 
never  very  active,  holding  only  one  political  office,  that  of  President 
of  the  Village  of  Ithaca,  in  1861,  and  was  one  of  the  Citizens'  Com- 
mittee selected  to  form  the  present  Ithaca  city  charter. 

"He  was  always  much  interested  in  the  Ithaca  Fire  Department, 
being  elected  Chief  Engineer  in  1865.  He  was  also  one  of  the 
organizers  of  the  Protective  Police,  and  was  captain  of  the  same  for 
eighteen  years. 

"He  was  chairman  of  the  board  of  trustees  of  the  First  Presby- 
terian Church  of  this  city,  was  a  director  m  several  corporations, 
among  which  are  the  Ithaca  Water  Works  Co.,  Ithaca  Gas  Light  Co., 
Ithaca    Savings    Bank,    Ithaca    Trust    Co.,    and    Tompkins    County

National  Bank,  and  was  senior  member  of  the  firm  of  Treman,  King 
^'  Company.     He  was  also  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Education." 

The  Elmira  Telegram  said  : 

'•Elias  Treman,  one  of  Ithaca's  most  loved  citizens  and  respected 
business  men,  passed  away  this  morning,  at  i  o'clock.  While  the 
fatal  fall  from  his  carriage  last  June  had  prepared  the  minds  of  all  to 
expect  the  inevitable  result,  yet  when  the  end  came,  expectancy 
could  not  allay  the  deep-felt  grief  of  a  surviving  community. 

"By  Associated  Press: 

•'Elias  Treman,  of  the  retail  and  wholesale  hardware  firm  of 
Treman,  King  &  Co.,  died  at  his  home  in  this  city  at  an  early  hour 
this  morning,  at  the  age  of  seventy-six.  Mr.  Treman  was  one  of 
Ithaca's  foremost  citizens.  He  was  a  lifelong  resident,  promi- 
nently identified  with  all  movements  looking  to  the  improvement  and 
welfare  of  the  city.  He  was  a  director  and  large  stock-holder  in  all 
the  banking  houses  of  the  city,  and  is  well-known  throughout  the 
business  world.  The  cause  of  his  death  was  paralysis,  coming  from 
injury  to  the  spinal  cord,  resulting  from  a  fall  from  his  carriage  in 
June  last." 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Education  the  President,  Roger 
B.  Williams,  said  : 

"Gentlemen  of  the  Board  of  Education : 

"As  we  assemble  here  tonight  our  eyes  naturally  turn  to  that 
vacant  chair  which  has  been  for  so  many  years  and  so  regularly 
occupied  by  Mr.  Treman.  Our  thoughts  revert  to  the  unfortunate 
accident  which  has  for  four  months  deprived  us  of  his  companionship 
and  counsel,  while  he  lay  with  unfailing  cheerfulness  and  heroic 
patience  bearing  the  heavy  cross  that  was  placed  upon  him.  And 
now  they  turn  to  the  scene  we  witnessed'  yesterday  when  all  that' 
was  mortal  of  our  beloved  friend  was  placed  out  of  our  sight  forever. 
Nothing  can  efface  our  admiration  of  his  character,  the  inspiration 
we  have  received  through  his  example,  or  our  reverence  for  the 
memory  of  Elias  Treman.  We  mourn  his  loss,  but  we  glory  in  the 
record  he  has  left  behind  him  and  are  thankful  that  for  so  many 
years  we  have  been  privileged  to  know  him  and  work  at  his  side." 


Sixth   Generation.  117 

President  Williams  from  the  committee  appointed  at  the  special 
meeting  tQ  prepare  resolutions  in  memory  of  Commissioner  Treman 
presented  the  following  report : 

"To  the  Board  of  Education  : 

"Your  committee  appointed  to  prepare  resolutions  in  memory  of 
Commissioner  Treman  respectfully  report  the  following  : 

"Whereas,  This  Board  has  sustained  an  irreparable  loss  through 
the  death  of  our  esteemed  fellow  commissioner,  Elias  Treman,  which 
occurred  on  the  morning  of  October  i,  1898  ;  be  it 

"Resolved,  That  we  hereby  record  our  profound  realization  of 
the  severe  blow  that  has  fallen  upon  us,  and  upon  our  work,  in  this 
dispensation  of  an  all-wise  Providence,  beneath  which  we  humbly 
bow.  We  would  place  upon  record,  also,  our  high  admiration  for  the 
character,  abilities  and  business  methods  of  the  deceased,  and  our 
full  appreciation  of  the  notable  aid  his  eftorts  have  given  to  the 
advance  of  education  and  educational  methods  in  this  city. 

"Elias  Treman  entered  this  Board  in  1885,  since  which  he  has 
been  a  leader  among  us  ;  and,  not  only  by  his  personal  effort,  but  by 
his  counsel  and  example,  he  has  aided  in  the  intelligent,  methodical 
and  harmonious  prosecution  of  our  work. 

"He  was  a  man  of  unswerving  integrity,  unselfish  purpose,  and 
unfailing  devotion  to  duty  ;  an  untiring  worker,  a  conservative  adviser 
and  a  faithful  friend.  He  conspicuously  combined  the  wisdom  and 
experience  of  age  with  the  keen,  active  vigor  of  youth.  He  was  out- 
spoken and  frank  in  the  expression  of  what  he  thought  to  be  wise 
and  right.  He  was  noted  for  his  superior  business  judgment,  his 
thorough  Christian  honor  and  devoted  personal  friendship. 

"After  his  thirteen  years  of  faithful  service  as  a  member  of  this 
Board,  in  which  he  has  met  with  us  regularly,  performing  with  fidelity 
the  duties  of  his  office,  we  shall  miss  his  cheery  presence  and  his  wise 
counsels.  We  mourn  the  loss  of  a  kind  friend,  wise  counsellor,  and 
upright  citizen.  His  memory  will  be  cherished,  and  will  inspire  all 
who  know  him  to  emulate  his  virtues. 

"To  his  bereaved  family  we  tender  our  warmest  sympathy. 

"To  our  schools  and  to  our  city,  who  have  lost  one  of  their 
strongest  and  wisest  leaders,  we  commend  the  example  of  his  life  for 
emulation. 


iiS  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

"Resolved,  'J'hat  this  preamble  and  resolution  be  inscribed  upon 

the  records  of  this  Board,  and  a  copy  thereof  presented  to  the  family 

of  the  deceased.

"H.  W.  Foster,     ) 

-On  motion  of  Commissioner  St.  John  the  resolutions  were 
unanimously  adopted." 

In  memory  of  Mr.  Treman  the  public  schools  were  closed  during 
the  afternoon  of  the  day  of  his  funeral  and  the  flags  were  at  half-mast 
throughout  the  day.  Places  of  business  were  also  closed  during  the 
funeral. 

From  report  to  Board  of  Education  by  Supt.  Foster,  published 
in  the  Ithaca  Journal,  Oct.  6th,  '98  : 

"In  the  death  of  Mr.  Treman  I  feel  a  personal  loss.  Prompt, 
keen  and  frank,  having  the  experience  of  age  with  the  vigor  of  youth, 
he  was  quick  to  reach  his  decisions ;  and  was  outspoken  in  his 
opinions.  During  all  the  time  of  his  illness,  his  interest  in  the 
affairs  of  the  schools  continued  unabated  and  he  inquired  frequently 
concerning  what  was  being  done,  I  shall  always  treasure  it  as  a 
valued  memory  that  on  the  last  evening  when  he  was  fully  conscious 
he  asked  for  me  to  come  and  see  him.  The  same  keen  interest 
inspires  every  member  of  the  Board,  and  it  is  this  which  makes  it 
possible  to  make  our  work  successful. 

"H.  W.  Foster,  Sup't." 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Ithaca  Trust 
Company  and  upon  the  announcement  of  the  death  of  Elias  Treman, 
a  member  of  such  Board,  it  was  ordered  that  the  following  memorial 
of  our  deceased  associate  be  entered  upon  the  records  of  the  Com- 
pany and  that  a  copy  thereof,  attested  officially,  be  presented  to  the 
family  of  the  deceased  : 

••The  death  of  EUas  Treman,  one  of  the  Directors  of  this  Com- 
pany, creates  a  new  vacancy  in  our  number,  and  leaves  us  the  duty 
of  joining  in  the  wide  sorrow  for  his  loss  and  recalling  the  many 
traits  of  his  character  which  made  him  not  merely  our  business 
associate  but  our  welcome  and  cherished  friend. 

"He  had  long  been  a  resident  of  this  city,  and  taken  an  active 


Sixth   Generation.  119 

part  in  promoting  its  growth  and  adding  to  its  prosperity.  The 
vigor  and  industry  and  intelHgent  care  which  he  gave  to  his  own 
affairs  was  fully  developed  in  those  enterprises  which,  beyond  his 
personal  interests,  touched  also  the  public  welfare  and  affected  the 
general  health  and  safety.  In  the  early  lighting  of  our  streets  and 
homes,  and,  later,  in  the  bountiful  supply  of  water  for  the  public 
safety  and  health,  his  business  ability  and  courage  found  a  wide  and 
useful  field  of  activity,  with  results  not  only  beneficial  to  himself  and 
his  associates,  but  vitally  essential  to  the  health  and  security  of  the 
City,  and  which  even  yet  we  scarcely  appreciate  as  they  deserve.  If, 
as  is  true,  his  private  interest  was  the  impelling  motive  of  his  share 
in  the  enterprise,  at  least  it  was  directed  to  worthy  and  useful  ends, 
and  demanded  of  him  and  his  associates  a  foresight  and  courage  the 
utility  of  which  for  all  of  us  we  are  slowly  beginning  to  realize. 

"When  the  Trust  Company  was  organized,  and  took  its  place 
quietly  among  the  City's  financial  institutions,  he  came  among  us 
with  the  same  business  ability  and  watchful  oversight  which  had 
carried  his  own  enterprises  to  success,  and  beyond  that,  brought 
with  him  a  constant  cheerfulness,  a  playful  bluntness  of  expression, 
and  a  regard  for  his  associates  lurking  under  a  humorous  welcome, 
which  made  us  all  his  sincere  and  attached  friends.  That  cheerful 
and  kindly  temperament  followed  him  through  the  long  days  of  his 
last  illness  and  left  him  only  at  the  end. 

"His  place  we  can  supply  but  cannot  fill.  We  can  only  put  upon 
our  records  this  memorial  of  the  man,  and  of  the  loss  which  as  his 
business  associates  we  have  sustained. 

"We  shall  see  his  face  no  more,  but  he  has  left  us  the  legacy  of 
a  sincere  and  lasting  respect  for  his  memory. 

"W.  H.  Storms,  Secretary." 

Resolutions  of  the  Protective  Police  : 

"It  is  with  deep  sorrow  that  we  miss  from  our  midst  the  form  of 
Ex-Captain  Elias  Treman  whose  death  occurred  at  his  home  in 
Ithaca  on  Oct.  ist.  He  was  a  charter  member  of  this  Company  and 
for  fourteen  years  its  Captain,  and  was  deeply  interested  in  the  wel- 
fare of  the  Company.  For  more  than  fifty  years  he  has  been  a 
prominent  and  influential  member  of  our  business  community.  As  a 
member  of  the  house  of  Treman,  King  &  Co.,  a  Director  of  the

of  -the  Ithaca  (ias  Light  Co.,  one  of  the  organizers  of  the  Ithaca 
Trust  Co.,  and  since  its  organization  a  Director  and  member  of  its 
Finance  Committee,  his  ability,  wise  counsel  and  sound  judgment 
contributed  largely  to  the  success  of  each  and  every  one.  During 
his  active  business  career  he  was  ever  mindful  of  his  duty  to  his 
church  and  to  the  public.  As  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church  he  gave  freely  of  his  time  to  the  business 
interests  and  welfare  of  this  body.  He  was  an  active  and  faithful 
member  of  the  Board  of  Education,  and  a  highly  valued  Trustee  of 
the  Ithaca  Savings  Bank.  Mr.  Treman  commanded  to  an  unusual  • 
degree  the  respect  and  admiration  of  this  entire  community,  and  his 
warm  greeting  and  bright  smile  will  be  missed  by  all. 

"We  valued  his  friendship  in  life  and  will  always  treasure  his 
memory  in  our  hearts. 

••Resolved,  That  this  minute  be  spread  upon  the   records  of  this

At  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  First  Presbyterian 
Church,  held  Dec.  26th,  i8g8,  the  following  report  of  committee,  ap- 
pointed Oct.  loth,  was,  on  motion,  unanimously  approved  and  adopted  : 

••While  the  members  of  our  Board  were  appalled  and  grieved  by 
the  loss  of  our  worthy  treasurer.  General  Blood,  we  were  doubly 
bereaved  by  the  sad  accident  on  June  ist,  to  our  beloved  President, 
Elias  Treman,  that  deprived  us  of  his  wise  counsel  and  ever  courteous 
presence  at  the  head  of  our  Board.  While  denied  all  his  usual 
activities  and  realizing  only  too  well  his  own  helpless  physical  condi- 
tion, he  did  not  sorrow  as  one  without  hope,  but  gave  to  all  who 
were  privileged  to  minister  to  his  needs,  or  to  visit  him  for  a  moment, 
abundant  evidence  of  heroic  Christian  fortitude  and  wonderful 
patience  in  waiting  for  the  inevitable  end. 

"The  interest  that  he  manifested  in  the  welfare  of  the  church  he 
served  .so  faithfully  and  so  long,  the  brightness  and  cheer  with  which 
he  encouraged  those  around  him  must  be  to  his  family,  as  it  is  to 
his  friends,  a  source  of  great  comfort.  The  end  came  on  October 
I  St  and  we,  with  the  entire  community,  sorrow  for  one  whose  place 
can  hardly  be  hlled. 


Sixth   Generation.  121 

"Therefore,  be  it  Resolved,  That  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the 
First  Presbyterian  Church  of  Ithaca  extend  to  the  family  of  our 
beloved  President  our  deep  and  sincere  sympathies  in  their  bereave- 
ment and  that  we  commend  them  to  our  Gracious  Father  above  who 
alone  can  give  them  full  consolation. 

"Resolved,  That  we  desire  here  to  testify  to  the  faithful  and 
unselfish  services  of  our  associate  as  trustee  for  more  than  twenty 
years,  the  last  ten  of  which  he  served  as  President.  We  wish  to  bear 
testimony  to  his  kindly  consideration,  his  courteous  treatment,  his 
unfailing  regularity  and  promptness  in  the  despatch  of  business,  and 
to  his  readiness  to  take  upon  himself  much  more  than  his  share  of 
the  details  of  our  work. 

"Resolved,  That  a  copy  of  these  resolutions  be  presented  to  the 
family  and  that  they  be  spread  upon  the  minutes  of  our  Board.

The  Tompkins  County  Democratic  Convention,  Oct.  3,  1898, 
adopted  the  following  resolution  : 

"We,  the  representatives  of  the  Democratic  party,  assembled  in 
County  Convention,  desire  to  express  our  sympathy  and  condolence 
to  the  family  of  the  late  Elias  Treman  in  their  bereavement.  In  Mr. 
Treman's  death  we  have  lost  a  highly  valued  friend  and  wise 
counsellor." 

The  following  letters  were  among  many  received  by  the  family: 

"Orange,  Oct.  3,  1898. 
"Mv  Dear  Mr.  Treman: — 

"I  have  just  received  the  Ithaca  paper  with  the  news  of  your 
father's  death. 

"I  need  hardly  say  in  what  high  regard  I  ever  held  him  for  I 
think  you  must  know  how  long  and  at  one  period  of  his  life  how 
intimately  1  knew  him  and  that  was  before  and  up  to  the  time  of  his 
marriage.  He  was  always  just  the  manly  man  that  his  straight  and 
manly  figure  symbolized.  He  was  outspoken,- you  always  knew  where 
to  tind  him  on  every  question  of  importance,  political,  local,  social  or 
religious  that  came  up  for  discussion.

"My  Dear  Rob  : — 

"I  want  to  express  to  you  and  the  entire  family  my  sincere 
sympathy  in  the  great  loss  you  have  sustained.  I  have  often  thought 
since  hearing  of  your  father's  accident  how  hard  ■  it  must  have  been 
for  one  so  full  of  energy  and  vitality  to  be  afflicted  as  he  was  and 
though  I  hear  he  bore  it  with  the  utmost  fortitude  and  resignation,  I 
was  thankful,  for  him  and  his  family,  when  he  was  released  from 
suffering.  I  know  what  it  means  to  lose  a  father  and  how  severe  the 
shock  is  when  the  end  finally  comes,  even  though  it  has  been  for  some 
time  anticipated,  and  am  truly  sorry  for  you.  The  loss  comes  to  you,  as 
it  did  to  me,  after  you  had  reached  manhood  and  were  well  able  to 
^j-o  alone — but  you  cannot  help  feeling  that  you  have  lost  a  strong 
prop  and  support  and  a  wise  and  prudent  counsellor.  Your  father 
will  be  sadly  missed  by  many  in  Ithaca  outside  his  immediate  family — 
his  strong  personality  having  impressed  itself  on  all  who  came  in 
contact  with  him  socially  or  in  business.

"Dear  Sir: — The  notice  of  your  good  father's  death  has  come 
to  us.  and  its  saddening  information  brings  a  pang  of  deep  sorrow  to 
me,  his  long  time  personal  and  admiring  friend.  For  more  than 
forty  years  have  I  known  and  many  times  have  I  met  him,  and  each 
time  enjoying  his  presence  more  than  the  preceding.  His  hearty 
cheerfulness,  his  candor,  his  integrity,  his  old  time  lively,  breezy 
ways,  combined  with  his  shrewdness  and  sagacity  made  him  a 
delightful  person  to  meet  either  in  a  social  or  business  way. 

"The  first  time  I  saw  him,  as  perhaps  1  have  told  you,  was  soon 
after  he  was  married,  when  he  was  living  at  the  hotel — the  'Clinton,'

"My  Dear  Friend  : — I  received  last  evening  from  you  the 
Ithaca  News  announcing  the  death  of  Elias  Treman.  I  have  his 
countenance  as  clearly  in  my  mind  as  when  I  left  the   dear  old  town. 

"Elias  Treman  was  a  man  I  shall  never  forget.  My  acquaintance 
with  him  was  different  of  course  than  with  you  and  others  nearer 
my  age,  yet  like  Judge  Finch  with  whom  I  studied  law  I  could  never 
forget  Elias  Treman.  While  he  was  independent  and  fearless  and 
did  not  stand  on  conventionalities,  as  I  knew  him  he  was  so  kind, 
considerate,  thoughtful  and  gentlemanly  toward  those  younger,  that 
today  I  remember  him  with  that  high  esteem  and  deep  respect  that 
the  high,  noble  and  manly  qualities  which  he  possessed  ever  command. 

"In  what  I  have  said  I  hope  you  can  recognize  not  only  its 
truth  but  also  recognize  that  my    memory    is  not   dim. 

"Sincerely  yours, 

"H.  L.  Humphrey." 


,24  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

From  the  Ithaca  Daily  Journal,  May  i,  1899  : 

••The  children  of  the  Central  School  celebrated  Arbor  Day  by 
planting  trees  and  by  appropriate  exercises  in  their  school  rooms. 

"The  Persian  poet  says:  'When  a  good  man  dies,. all  mortals 
weep,  but  the  angels  rejoice  that  his  trials  are  ended,  and  that  they 
have  him  amongst  them.' 

"No  man  deserved  this  exquisite  Eastern  verse  better  than  did 

Mr.  Treman. 

"It  is  not  necessary  to  mention  here  his  munificent  works  of 
benevolence  or  devotion  to  public  good.  A  Christian  man,  a  faith- 
ful friend  of  the  schools,  a  gentleman  thorough  in  all  good  works, 
these  describe  one  whom  'none  knew  him  but  to  love  him,  none 
named  him  but  to  praise.' 

"To  Mr.  Elias  Treman  we  dedicate  this  tree.  May  it  ever  be  a 
reminder  to  cherish  his  memory  with  affection,  to  be  thankful  for 
his  example  and  to  think  of  him  now  as  in  the  'light  perpetual'  of  a 
glorified  existence." 

From  the  Ithaca  Daily  Journal,  Sept.,  '98  : 

"As  the  Journal  goes  to  press  this  afternoon  the  Ithaca  fire 
department  is  making  its  39th  annual  parade  in  a  broiling  sun. 

"As  the  Protective  Police  marched  by  the  stalwart  form  of  Elias 
Treman  was  missed  at  their  head.  The  company  of  Protective 
Police  was  organized  in  1868  by  Elias  Treman  and  Joseph  Esty.  and 
today,  for  the  first  time  in  thirty  years  since  its  organization,  Mr. 
Treman  was  absent  from  the  line.  This  is  a  remarkable  record,  and 
probably  cannot  be  duplicated  by  anyone  connected  with  the  Ithaca 
or  any  other  department.  The  patient  invalid,  doubtless,  had  this  in 
mind  today  when  the  strains  of  the  band  told  of  the  fact  that  this 
was  the  annual  parade  of  the  department." 

Mrs.  Treman  gave  to  the  new  First  Presbyterian  Church  of  Ithaca, 
as  a  memorial  to  her  husband,  one  of  the  finest  organs  in  the  country. 

At  the  time  of  her  death  the  Ithaca  Daily  Journal  said  : 

"Mrs.  Treman  was  a  member  of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church 

of  this  city,  and  always  took  an   active   part  in   church   work.      She 

was  a  woman  of  very  tine  personal  character,  always  cheerful,  and

Ithaca,  N.  Y.  Director  in  the  Tompkins  County  National"  Bank

one  of  the  Town  Committee  to  raise  volunteers  for  the  Civil  War. 

At  the  time  of  his  death  the  Ithaca  Daily  News  said  of  him : 

"Leander  R.  King,  one  of  Ithaca's  oldest  and  most  highly 
respected  business  men,  died  this  morning,  shortly  after  6  o'clock,  at 
his  home  at  No.  1 1 1  West  Green  Street. 

"Mr.  King's  last  illness  began  about  three  weeks  ago,  while  on 
a  trip  to  Canada.  At  Tadousac  he  had  a  very  severe  attack  of 
angina  pectoris,  but  recovered  sufficiently  to  return  home,  which  he 
did  about  ten  days  ago. 

"Since  that  time  he  has  been  confined  to  the  house,  but  up  to 
the  very  last  his  family  entertained  great  hopes  of  his  ultimate 
recovery.  The  end  came  quite  suddenly  and  until  a  few  minutes 
before  his  death  it  was  supposed  that  he  was  getting  better.  Then 
indications  were  seen  that  denoted  a  change  and  the  end  came 
quietly  and  peacefully. 


PETER     MEYER 


Sixth   Generation.  141 

"Leander  King  was  born  at  Trumansburg,  February  3rd,  1828. 
At  an  early  age  his  family  moved  to  Albany  where  he  received  his 
early  education.  He  came  to  this  city  at  the  age  of  23  and  entered, 
the  employ  of  Treman  Brothers,  who  were  then  engaged  in  the  hard- 
ware business  on  the  present  site  of  the  store.  In  the  year  1857, 
Mr.  King  was  taken  into  the  partnership  and  the  new  firm  did  busi- 
ness under  the  name  Treman,  King  &  Co.  Mr.  King  continued  as  a 
member  of  the  firm  until  1870  when  he  was  obliged  to  retire  from 
business  on  account  of  his  health.  After  a  year  of  complete  rest  in 
California,  he  was  able  to  resume  his  work,  and  upon  his  return  to 
this  city  he  re-entered  the  firm,  where  he  continued  his  interests  up 
to  the  time  of  his  death. 

"Mr.  King  was  the  senior  member  of  the  present  firm,  Treman, 
King  &  Co.,  and  the  last  survivor  of  the  original  firm  which  consisted 
of  himself  and  the  three  brothers,  Leonard,  Lafayette,  and  Elias 
Treman.      Mr.  King  was  a  cousin  of  his  partners. 

"For  many  years  Mr.  King  has  been  closely  identified  with 
many  of  the  principal  business  interests  of  this  city.  He  has  been  a 
director  of  the  Tompkins  County  National  Bank  since  '71,  and  he 
was  also  a  director  of  the  Ithaca  Water  Works  Company,  and  a 
principal  stockholder  in  the  Lyceum  Opera  House  Company.  Mr. 
King  was  a  genial  gentleman  and  his  social  qualities  made  him  many 
friends.  He  has  always  been  a  successful  business  man  and  his 
judgment  on  financial  matters  was  respected  by  his  associates.  For 
years  he  has  been  a  prominent  member  of  St.  John's  Protestant 
Episcopal  Church  and  was  at  one  time  a  vestryman.  His  life  was  an 
exemplary  one,  and  his  demise  is  mourned  by  the  whole  city." 

He  died  Sept.  20,  1900,  at  Ithaca.     Residence  Ithaca,  N.  Y.

The  following  account  of  the   Tremain   Family   Reunion  at  the 


144  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

home  of  James  K.  Tremain  and  the  historical   address  delivered  by 
him  is  from  the  Genoa  Tribune  of  July  7,  1893  : 

"West  Venice,  N.  Y.,  June  29,  1893. 

"A  grand  occasion  was  the  Tremain  Centennial  Picnic  which 
has  been  held  at  the  residence  of  James  K.  Tremain  today. 

"The  day  has  been  remarkably  pleasant  and  no  place  could 
have  been  chosen  more  appropriate  for  this  occasion,  since  it  was 
just  one  hundred  years  ago  that  the  father  of  James  K.  Tremain, 
Benjamin  Tremain,  built  his  log  cabin  in  the  woods,  and  with  his 
family  began  life  on  the  very  ground  where  the  tables  were  spread 
today.  Neither  could  a  pleasanter  spot  have  been  chosen  than  the 
spacious  and  shady  lawn  fronting  his  residence. 

"For  many  weeks,  James  K.  Tremain,  the  only  survivor  of  a 
family  of  ten  children,  has  labored  unceasingly  perfecting  arrange- 
ments for  this  reunion  whereby  the  descendants,  many  of  whom  have 
never  met,  might  come  together  and  celebrate  this  the  centennial  of 
his  father's  settlement  on  this  spot,  and  his  heart  has  been  truly 
gladdened  by  so  many  responses   from   different  parts  of  the  Union. 

"Carriages  kept  coming  until  at  noon  one  hundred  and  fifty  were 
comfortably  seated  at  the  tables  which  were  groaning  under  their 
load  of  good  things.  Rev.  E.  A.  Peck  offered  thanks,  then  associa- 
tion and  appetite  strove  for  the  greater  endurance.  After  dinner 
the  relatives  were  grouped  together  and  views  were  taken  of  the 
gathering  by  VVm.  Battey,  of  Rochester,  with  a  kodak  manufactured 
at  that  place.  During  all  this  time  sweet  music  was  being  discoursed 
by  Moravia's  popular  orchestra. 

"After  this  came  a  delightful  little  programme  of  exercises 
presided  over  by  Geo.  Truman,  of  Nashville,  Michigan.  The 
exercises  were  opened  with  prayer  by  Rev.  E.  A.  Peck,  of  Ledyard, 
the  orchestra  following  with  a  fine  selection.  The  address  of  welcome 
was  delivered  by  James  K.  Tremain  in  a  manner  which  none  could 
help  feeling  was  indeed  a  welcome  from  the  heart.  It  was  neatly 
responded  to  by  Rev.  Wesley  Mason  of  Skaneateles.  A  quartette 
from  Ledyard  favored  the  company  with  a  choice  selection  after 
which  a  poem,  written  for  the  occasion,  was  read  by  C.  M.  Swift,  of 
Cortland.  Another  of  the  orchestra's  fine' selections  was  then  neatly 
rendered  when  came  a  historical  sketch  given  by  James  K.  Tremain, 
a  portion  of  which  we  cannot  help  repeating.      He  says  : 


Sixth   Generation.  145 

"'In  a  backward  glance,  covering  a  period  of  one  hundred  years, 
justice  would  demand  of  me  an  impossibility  under  existing 
circumstances. 

"  'In  the  presentation  of  this  historical  sketch,  I  am  somewhat 
embarrassed  as  the  ancient  records,  dating  back  to  the  emigration  of 
the  Tremain  family,  four  brothers,  from  England  to  America  in  1666, 
were  destroyed  at  the  burning  of  my  house  in  1862. 

"  'In  the  rush  and  push  and  cry  of  hard  times  that  reach  us  on 
every  hand  in  this  last  decade  of  the  nineteenth  century,  it  is  well  to 
pause  and  consider  :  Who  laid  the  foundations  of  this  Great  Republic  ? 
Who  rushed  to  the  front  to  drive  back  an  invading  foe  ?  Who  felled 
the  mighty  forests  unaided  by  modern  implements  ? 

"  'With  the  primitive  ax,  patient  ox  and  mammoth  chain  came 
together  the  logs  with  which  the  cabin  of  the  pioneer  was  builded. 
Well  may  we  honor  the  memory  of  the  fathers,  though  dead  their 
works  remain,  while  we  reap  the  reward  of  their  labors.  It  is  fitting 
and  right  that  the  descendants,  friends  and  neighbors  should  assemble 
to  commemorate  the  hundredth  anniversary  of  this  settlement. 

"  'Philip  Tremain  and  family  are  supposed  to  be  the  first  settlers 
in  this  vicinity,  locating  on  this  farm  in  1793,  erecting  a  cabin  in 
about  the  center  of  this  yard,  digging  this  well  from  which  hung  the 
old  oaken  bucket  that  has  supplied  the  family  with  pure  cold  water 
for  a  century. 

'•  'In  1790,  the  family  emigrated  from  the  Bay  State  to  the  then 
far  West.  The  route  over  which  they  came  to  Cayuga  County  with 
their  household  goods  was  toilsome  in  the  extreme.  The  Hudson 
river  furnished  means  for  reaching  Albany.  Between  that  point  and 
the  Mohawk  great  difficulties  were  met.  Sixteen  miles  over  sand 
barrens  to  Little  Falls.  There  a  portage  was  made.  The  canoes 
and  light  boats  were  carried  by  men  while  the  large  ones  were  drawn 
by  oxen.  The  time  required  to  make  the  journey  from  Schenectady 
to  Cayuga  Lake  was  twenty  days.  The  family  made  the  first  settle- 
ment where  Trumansburg  now  stands,  my  father  felling  the  first  tree, 
giving  the  hamlet  the  name  of  Tremainsville,  later  changed  to 
Trumansburg. 

'"In  the  month  of  March,  1793,  with  their  household  goods  on 
a  sled  drawn  by  oxen,  they  came  around  the  head  of  the  Lake,  follow- 
ing the  shore  to  the  mouth  of  Salmon  Creek,  taking  that  to  the  forks,

The  following  interesting  letter  was  written  by  him  : 

"Binghamton,  Oct.  11,  1898. 
"To  THE  Editor  of  The  Journal: 

"Sir: — I  read  with  much  interest  your  article  in  The  Journal 
of  Oct.  I,  1898,  written  upon  the  event  of  the  death  of  the  lamented 
Elias  Treman  of  Ithaca. 

"I  hope  it  will  be  pardonable  for  me  to  attempt  to  correct  your 
article  that  it  may  accord  with  the  chronological  history  of  the  Tru- 
man family  in  this  country. 


1 68  History  of  the  Treman  Family, 

"The  tirst  representative  of  the  family  to  come  to  America  was 
Joseph  Truman  who  settled  in  New  London,  Conn.,  in  1666.  The 
following  year  1667  he  was  elected  to  the  office  of  constable.  He 
continued  his  residence  there  until  his  death  which  occurred  in  1697. 
His  will  which  is  on  file  was  dated  the  year  prior  to  his  death  in 
which  he  bequeaths  his  property  to  his  five  children,  Joseph,  Thomas. 
Elizabeth,  Mary  and  Ann. 

-Joseph  married  Mary  Shapley,  daughter  of  Benjamin  Shapley, 
Dec.  5,  1 701.  They  had  four  children,  John,  Simeon,  Nathaniel 
and  Benjamin. 

"John  Truman,  the  first  child  of  Joseph,  married  and  they  had 
nine  children,  Jonathan,  Eliza,  PhiUp,  John,  Gaines,  Julius,  Daniel, 
Abner  and  Jared. 

"Abner,  next  to  the  youngest,  born  in  1761,  entered  the  army  of 
the  revolution  in  1777  and  became  distinguished  for  his  bravery; 
his  son,  Ashbel,  was  the  father  of  the  late  Elias  Treman. 

"The  Truman  family  in  Owego  are  direct  descendants  of  Simeon 
Truman,  the  second  son  of  Joseph  and  Mary  Shapley  his  wife. 

"The  writer  is  a  direct  descendant  of  Thomas  Truman,  who  was 
born  in  New  London,  Conn.,  A.  D.  1681,  and  died  there  Jan.  15, 
1747,  he  being  the  second  son  of  Joseph  Truman,  who  came  from 
England  in  1666  as  before  stated.  I  am  much  indebted  for  the 
knowledge  I  have  been  able  to  obtain  of  the  Truman  family  in 
America,  to  George  Truman,  Esq.,  of  Owego,  N.  Y.,  to  the  late  Mrs. 
Christopher  B.  Arnold,  of  Providence,  R.  L,  who  in  1858  permitted 
me  to  make  extracts  from  the  record  of  a  very  old  family  Bible  in 
her  possession,  which  formerly  belonged  to  her  grandfather,  Jonathan 
Truman,  of  New  London  (my  great  grandfather),  and  also  to  'New 
England  Chronological  History,'  by  Savage,  a  work  of  great  merit. 
My  conclusions,  after  giving  the  subject  much  attention,  are  that  the 
name  Treman  and  Tremain  and  Trueman  were  all  primarily  and 
purely  from  the  EngUsh  name  Truman,  of  New  London  in  1666,  and 
that  the  exciting  and  disrupting  scenes  during  the  long  years  of  the 
revolution  and  the  conglomeration  of  nationalities,  the  Babel  of 
tongues,  are  responsible  for  the  different  ways  of  spelling  names  of 
the  oldest  families  in  the  United  States. 

"Very  respectfully  yours, 

"James  C.  Truman."

usual  preparatory  course  in  the  rudimentary  branches,  he  was  sent 
to  the  Polytechnic  Institute  of  Brooklyn.  After  completing  his  studies, 
he  left  on  one  day's  notice  to  begin  his  business  career  with  the  firm 
of  Le  Grand  Lockwood  &  Co.,  Wall  Street  brokers  and  bankers. 
His  salary  was  small  at  first,  but  his  progress  was  rapid,  and  he  was 
so  well  liked  by  his  employers,  that  his  advance  was  rapid,  and  it 
was  but  a  few  years  before  he  received  a  large  salary.  The  failure 
of  the  firm  in  1869,  threw  him  out  of  employment,  but  with  the 
money  he  had  saved  he  was  enabled  the  same  year  to  start  in  busi- 
ness for  himself,  having  in  1869  purchased  a  seat  in  the  Stock 
Exchange.  He  was  successful  from  the  start,  but  default  of  one  for 
whom  he  was  doing  business  necessitated  a  suspension  in  187 1.  He 
subsequently  met  every  dollar  of  his  obligations.  In  1871  he  entered 
into  partnership  with  Roswell  P.  Flower  (later  Governor  of  New  York) 
and  E.  C.  Benedict,  under  the  firm  name  of  Benedict,  Flower  &  Co. 
This  firm  passed  through  the  great  panic  of  '73  with  credit  unimpaired. 
The  firm  dissolved  in  1875.  In  1876  Mr.  Truman  entered  into  an 
arbitrage  business,  that  is  buying  and  selling  shares  and  bonds  be- 
tween New  York  and  London  or  other  cities.  Mr.  Truman  was  for  a 
time  a  member  of  the  Petroleum  Exchange.  He  was  a  member  of 
the  Governing  Committee  and  Chairman  of  the  Membership  Com- 
mittee of  the  Consolidated  Exchange,  after  the  union  of  the  Mining  . 
and  Petroleum  Exchanges.  He  withdrew  from  this  Exchange  in 
1885,  as  the  rules  of  the  Stock  Exchange  at  that  time  prohibited 
membership  in  the  Consolidated  Exchange.  Later  he  has  also  be- 
come a  member  of  the  N.  Y.  Produce  Exchange. 

"Mr.  Truman  settled  in  Orange  in  1885,  and  three  years  later  he 
purchased  a  fine  building  site  on  the  S.  W.  corner  of  Lincoln  and 
Highland  Avenues,  where  he  erected  a  beautiful  villa,  comprising 
the  best  of  modern  architectural  features  known  as  the  American 
Domestic,  the  first  story  being  of  Belleville  brown  stone,  the  stories 
above  it  of  frame. 

"At  the  time  Mr.  Truman  was  asked  to  accept  the  nomination 
for  the  mayoralty  of  Orange,  he  had  not  been  in  public  life  nor  had 
he  ever  taken  any  interest  in  politics.  It  was  known  that  he  was  a 
staunch  Republican  and  being  a  man  of  the  highest  reputation,  his 
con.stituents  believed  that  these  qualifications  would  insure  the  suc- 
cessful   administration    of   the    afi'airs    of  Orange.     Before  entering

upon  his  duties  Mr.  Truman  made  himself  thoroughly  familiar  with 
the  condition  of  public  affairs  and  of  the  needs  of  the  city,  and 
pledged  himself  to  use  his  best  endeavors  to  influence  for  good  gov- 
ernment. No  one  questioned  his  honesty,  his  integrity  or  his  busi- 
ness capacity  to  execute  the  plans  he  formulated.  His  ability,  how- 
ever, to  carry  forward  the  work,  and  execute  the  laws  as  he  inter- 
preted them  was  largely  dependent  on  the  cooperation  of  those  asso- 
ciated with  him.  A  difference  of  opinion  as  to  the  best  methods  of 
accomplishing  the  desired  results,  caused  some  friction  and  by  the 
close  of  his  first  year's  administration  it  was  generally  understood 
that  Mr.  Truman  would  not  approve  of  any  improper  legislation. 
His  second  message  at  the  beginning  of  1891  showed  that  he  was 
fully  conversant  with  every  department  of  the  city  and  his  recom- 
mendations received  the  most  careful  consideration.  His  presenta- 
tion of  the  city's  financial  condition  was  a  most  able  exhibit,  and 
showed  his  familiarity  with  all  the  details.  His  recommendation  to 
the  council  that  an  effort  be  made  to  have  the  new  issues  of  bonds 
exempt  from  taxation  and  the  advisability  of  issuing  long  bonds, 
evinced  great  wisdom  and  forethought. 

"He  said  truly  that  'as  the  growth  of  the  city  continues  the  cost 
of  the  permanent  improvements,  which  are  now  being  made,  and 
which  benefit  all  proportionately,  can  be,  and  shall  be,  paid  for  by 
those  who  receive  the  ultimate  benefit.'  Mr.  Truman  urged  that  the 
system  of  sewerage  so  long  under  consideration  should  be  pushed 
forward  with  all  possible  diligence  and  recommended  the  issue  of 
four  per  cent  bonds  in  such  amounts  as  would  enable  citizens  who 
were  not  property  holders  to  invest  and  thus  become  interested  in 
the  affairs  of  the  city.  Mr.  Truman  referred  to  the  Board  of  Educa- 
tion in  praiseworthy  terms,  having  made  a  personal  investigation  of 
the  schools.  Referring  to  the  Police  Department  he  recommended 
that  all  appointees  should  be  required  to  pass  a  physical  examination, 
and  that  any  who  were  unfit  for  duty  should  be  retired  or  dismissed  ; 
he  also  recommended  that  a  patrol  service  be  introduced  and  that 
'call  boxes'  be  established  in  different  parts  of  the  city,  which  would 
do  away  with  at  least  one  roundsman  and  give  more  efficient  service. 
Mr.  Truman  called  special  attention  to  the  valuable  franchises  granted 
by  the  city  to  railroad  and  other  corporations,  and  to  the  small 
amount  of  revenue  received  by  the  city  from  these  sources   and  rec- 


IJ2  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

omniended  a  plan  which  would  insure  a  large  annual  revenue.  No 
man  ever  labored  more  earnestly  in  the  interests  of  a  community,  or 
worked  more  faithfully  to  effect  the  desired  reforms  than  did  Mr. 
Truman  and  when  it  is  considered  that  his  time  and  his  energies  were 
expended  in  this  direction  without  any  compensation  whatever,  he 
certainly  earned  and  fully  deserves  the  lasting  gratitude  of  his  fellow 
citizens. 

"During  his  residence  of  sixteen  years  or  more,  in  Orange,  Mr. 
Truman  has  given  much  time  and  attention  to  the  moral  and  relig- 
ious interests  of  the  community.  Before  coming  to  Orange  he  was  a 
member  of  the  Church  of  the  Incarnation  of  New  York,  he  was  con- 
firmed by  Bishop  Potter  in  the  Church  of  the  Holy  Trinity,  Brooklyn, 
in  i860.  He  was  long  a  member  of  Grace  Episcopal  Church  of 
Orange.  He  contributed  to  the  building  of  St.  Andrews  Episcopal 
Church  at  Montrose  Park,  South  Orange.  At  the  first  meeting  of 
the  new  parish  for  organization  he  was  proposed  for  and  elected  to 
the  office  of  Senior  Warden.  He  is  also  interested  in  the  work  of 
the  Young  Men's  Christian  Association,  having  been  one  of  the  early 
members  of  the  Orange  Association  and  later  assisted  in  the  organi- 
zation of  the  Orange  Valley  Association,  of  which  Association  he  was 
the  President.  He  is  a  man  of  strong  religious  convictions,  thought- 
ful, earnest,  painstaking  and  imbued  with  a  sincere  desire  to  be  help- 
ful to  others  and  to  benefit  his  fellowmen.  He  is  a  member  of  the 
New  England  Society  of  Orange,  the  Orange  Lawn  Tennis  Club  and 
other  organizations. 

"Mr.  Truman  married  Julia  M.  Judson,  a  daughter  of  Charles 
Gideon  Judson  of  New  York  City,  formerly  of  Woodbury,  Conn.,  a 
son  of  Charles  and  Fannie  (Marvin)  Judson,  son  of  Elijah,  son  of 
Gideon,  born  March  8,  1748,  son  of  Elijah  (born  17 15)  and  Sarah 
(Hollister)  Judson,  son  of  Jonathan,  1682,  son  of  John,  who  was  one 
of  the  original  signers  of  the  Fundamental  Articles  for  the  settle- 
ment of  Woodbury,  in  1672.  He  was  the  son  of  Lieut.  Joseph, 
eldest  son  of  William  Judson,  who  came  from  Yorkshire,  England,  in 
1634,  with  his  family,  Joseph,  Jere^niah  and  Joshua.  He  lived  four 
years  at  Concord,  Mass.,  and  removed  thence  to  Stratford,  Conn.,  at 
its  first  .settlement  in  1639.  l^ev.  Adoniram  Judson,  the  missionary 
to  Hurmah,  was  a  descendant  of  William  and  cousin  to  Gideon, 
above  mentioned."

At  the  time  of  his  inauguration  as  Mayor  an  Orange  newspaper 
said  of  him : 

"The  inauguration  of  Henry  H.  Truman  as  tenth  Mayor  of 
Orange  on  Tuesday  evening,  March  25,  1890,  was  an  eventful  period 
in  the  history  of  Orange.  His  predecessor,  Mayor  Hartford,  had 
held  the  position  for  twelve  consecutive  years,  first  as  a  Democrat, 
and  for  nine  years  as  the  People's  candidate.  Mayor  Truman, 
although  not  a  politician  was  elected  by  the  Republican  vote.  On 
taking  his  seat  he  was  heartily  congratulated  by  his  predecessor,  who 
in  his  closing  remarks  said  :  'Now  that  I  am  about  to  retire  it  gives 
me  unbounded  pleasure  to  know  that  my  successor  is  a  gentleman 
whose  name  is  above  reproach,  and  who  I  am  confident,  will  have 
only  the  city's  best  interest  at  heart.'  Mayor  Hartford  was  over- 
come by  his  emotions  and  was  compelled  to  sit  down.  Mr.  Truman 
returned  thanks  for  the  hearty  welcome  extended  him  and  especially 
for  the  'kind  words  of  his  predecessor,  who  had  served  so  long  and 
faithfully.' 

"The  Truman  family  from  which  Henry  H.  Truman  is  descended 
is  identified  with  the  early  history  of  the  Connecticut  colony.  The 
origin  of  the  name  was  undoubtedly,  as  the  spelling  indicates,  Truman 
or  Trueman,  meaning  a  true  man  and  this  has  been  a  characteristic 
of  the  family  through  every  generation. 

"I.  Joseph  Truman,  the  ancestor,  was  born  in  England,  and 
came  to  America  with  his  family,  which  consisted  of  five  children, 
viz :  Joseph,  Thomas,  Eliza,  Mary  and  Ann.  He  settled  in  New 
London,  Conn.,  in  1666  and  was  chosen  constable  the  next  year 
where  he  died  in  1697.  The  records  show  that  'he  purchased  some 
pits  for  tanning  from  Alexander  Piggins  in  1670.'  Truman's  Brook 
and  Truman  Street  derive  their  names  from  this  family. 

"II.  Joseph  Truman  (2)  son  of  Joseph  (i)  settled  in  New 
London.  He  with  77  others  received  a  grant  of  land,  Oct.  14,  1704, 
from  the  Governor  and  Company  of  Her  Majesty's  Colony  of  Con- 
necticut in  General  Court  assembled  by  authority  of  Letters  Patent 
given  to  them  by  Charles  II,  dated  23rcl  April,  1663.  This  was  a 
part  of  the  addition  made  to  the  bounds  of  New  London,  which 
included  the  Mohegan  reservation  which  had  long  been  claimed  by 
the  town,  but  not  legally  included   in   their   bounds.     The  grant  was

signed  by  Deputy  Gov.  Treat  of   Conn.,  one  of  the  original   settlers 

of  Newark. 

"Joseph  Truman  (2)  married  Mary  (born  26  March,  1677) 
daughter  of  Capt.  Benjamin  Shapley  (son  of  Nicholas,  (who  was  the 
son  of  Alexander  Shapley,  born  in  England.  Chosen  Treasurer  of 
the  Province  of  Maine  1649.  Captain  1653,  Major  1656,  Magistrate 
1662,  next  to  the  right  worshipful  Henry  Josselyn)  and  Mary  Pickett, 
daughter  of  John  and  Ruth  Pickett  (Brewster).  The  children  of 
Joseph  and  Mary  (Shapley)  Truman  were  Elizabeth,  Eliza,  Joseph, 
John,  Jane,  Benjamin  and  Daniel. 

•'HI.  Daniel  Truman,  the  youngest  child  of  Joseph  and  Mary 
(Shapley)  Truman,  was  born  in  New  London,  Conn.,  Oct.  24,  17 17, 
died  April  17,  1791.  He  married  Deborah,  daughter  of  Ebenezer 
Dennis,  Dec.  10,  1741.  She  died  March  26,  1801,  aged  81  years. 
Their  children  were  Deborah,  Esther,  Henry,  Mary,  Benjamin, 
Daniel.     He   was  a  Captain  in  the  marine  service. 

'TV.  Daniel  Truman  (2)  son  of  Daniel  (i)  and  Deborah 
(Dennis)  Truman,  was  born  in  New  London,  Conn.,  Jan.  8,  1766, 
died  in  New  Haven,  April  10,  1832.  He  married  Amelia,  daughter 
of  Isaac  Thompson  in  New  Haven,  Aug.  n,  1792.  She  died  in 
1803.  He  married,  secondly,  Mary,  daughter  of  Col.  Joseph 
Thompson,  in  New  Haven,  April  27,  1805.  By  his  second  wife  he 
had  a  son,  Daniel  Henry.  He  was  a  Captain  in  the  marine  service 
and  a  man  of  integrity. 

"Daniel  Henry  Truman,  son  of  Daniel  (2)  and  Mary  (Thomp- 
son) Truman,  was  bom  in  New  Haven,  Feb.  13,  1806.  He  married, 
in  Greenwich,  Conn.,  Cordelia,  daughter  of  Shadrach  and  Elizabeth 
Waite  Mead  of  Chestertown,  Warren  Co.,  N.  Y.,  son  of  Titus  Mead, 
grandson  of  Ebenezer  (i)  born  in  1663,  son  of  John  (2),  son  of  John 
Mead  (i),  who  emigrated  from  England  about  1642,  or  William  Mead 
1635.  The  family  was  an  ancient  and  honorable  one,  one  of  the 
ancestors  having  been  the  friend  and  physician  of  Queen  Elizabeth."

1^6  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

3350.  Hon.  Lyman  Truman.  (Aarons,  Shem^  Benjamin', 
Joseplv,  Joseph'.)  iiii.  He  was  born  March  2,  1806,  at  Park 
Settlement  in  the  Town  of  Candor,  Tioga  Co.,  N.  Y.  He  married, 
Jan.  10,  1838,  Emily  M.  Goodrich  (daughter  of  Aner  Goodrich  and 
Ruth  Stratton,  Noah  Goodrich  who  removed  in  1802  from  Conn., 
and  located  in  what  is  known  as  Goodrich  Settlement,  in  the  Town 
of  Tioga,  near  Owego,  Tioga  Co.,  N.  Y.)  She  was  born  Dec.  30, 
181 7.  He  removed  in  1830  to  Owego,  N.  Y.  He  was  a  merchant 
nearly  all  his  life.  He  became  very  wealthy.  He  founded,  in  1836, 
the  firm  of  L.  Truman  &  Brothers  which  conducted  a  mercantile  and 
lumber  business  for  about  half  a  century.  •  President  of  the  Bank  of 
Owego  and  its  successor  the  First  National  Bank  of  Owego  from 
1856  until  a  short  time  prior  to  his  death.  He  was  a  Republican  in 
politics.     Supervisor.     State  Senator,  1857-63. 

The  History  of  Four  Counties,  so-called,  says  of  him  : 

"Hon.  Lyman  Truman  is  at  the  present  time  the  leading  busi- 
ness man  of  Tioga  County,  and  its  wealthiest  citizen.  He  was  also, 
until  a  recent  period,  the  leading  Republican  politician  of  that 
county.  His  life  is  a  remarkable  example  of  what  one  can  accom- 
plish, unaided  and  alone,  without  any  external  advantages  of  wealth 
or  family,  in  working  out  for  himself  a  successful  personal  career  by 
force  of  character  and  a  temperate,  moral,  industrious,  and  economi- 
cal habit  of  life. 

"He  started  a  poor  boy,  on  a  farm  remote  from  any  business 
locality,  the  eldest  of  a  family  of  ten  children,  of  whom  Aaron  Truman 
was  the  father. 

"Aaron  Truman  was  born  in  Granville,  Mass.,  and  came  to 
Owego  in  the  year  1804,  where  he  married  the  following  year  Miss 
p:xperience  Parks  of  Candor.  .  Lyman  Truman,  the  brother  of 
Aaron,  came  in  1 808,  and  Asa  H.,  another  brother,  followed  about  1 8 1 4. 

"Lyman  Truman,  the  subject  of  this  memoir,  was  born  March 
2,  1806.  Aaron,  the  father  -of  a  large  family,  died  in  1822,  when 
Lyman  was  but  sixteen  years  of  age.  The  only  property  left  by  the 
deceased  to  his  family  was  a  small  farm  of  sixty  acres,  incumbered 
with  a  debt  greater  than  its  value ;  and  it  was  due  to  the  sympathy 
of  creditors  only  that  the  household  was  not  driven  from  its  humble 
shelter,  which  was  but  little  better  than  a  cabin,  located  on  a  farm.

remarkable  sagacity  and  energy,  so  admirably  stimulated  and  directed 
the  efforts  of  the  young  but  industrious  and  untiring  family,  that 
within  three  years  she  not  only  succeeded  in  paying  the  heavy  debt, 
but  erected  a  comfortable  house,  that  still  remains  as  a  monument  to 
their  thrift.  From  the  death  of  his  father  until  the  year  1830,  Lyman 
continued  to  follow  the  drudgery  of  day  and  farm  labor,  raising  and 
carting  the  produce  of  the  farm  to  market,  making  shingles,  and 
sawing  and  selling  boards. 

"Of  course  the  intervals  of  labor  in  such  an  overtasked  youth 
left  but  a  few  scanty  weeks  for  schooling,  at  the  district  school 
before,  but  not  after,  his  father's  death.  These  brief  intervals  were 
improved,  however,  with  the  same  energy  that  has  characterized  all 
of  the  subsequent  career  of  the  man. 

"In  1830  he  left  the  farm  and  became  a  clerk  in  the  store  of  his 
uncle,  Asa  H.  Truman,  at  the  village  of  Owego,  N.  Y.  He  rapidly 
acquired  the  skill  and  tact  in  trade  that  made  him  desirable  as  a 
partner,  and  enabled  him  soon  to  start  in  business  for  himself,  though 
without  capital,  as  a  member  of  the  firm  of  Greenleaf  &  Truman, 
composed  of  John  M.  Greenleaf  and  himself. 

"In  1836,  with  a  magnanimity  and  love  for  his  family  that  have 
characterized  all  his  subsequent  arrangements,  he  brought  three  of 
his  brothers,  Orin,  Francis  and  George,  from  the  farm,  and  sharing 
with  them  what  he  had  earned,  associated  them  with  himself,  under 
the  firm  name  that  has  since  become  distinguished  in  the  locality  for 
its  credit  and  solidity,  of  'L.  Truman  &  Brothers.'  This  firm,  for 
certain  purposes,  continued  until  the  present  time,  1879. 

"From  1836  onward,  uniform  success,  unchecked  by  any  con- 
siderable reverse  or  misfortune,  has  marked  the  business  career  of 
Lyman  Truman. 

"That  success  has  been  largely  due  to  the  strong  native  sense 
and  almost  unerring  sagacity  that  has  rapidly  solved,  with  instinctive 
accuracy,  every  business  problem  that  presented  itself  ;  he  having 
never  engaged  in  any  speculation,  except  an  extensive  purchase,  at 
government  prices,  of  Illinois  lands  in  1856,  which  proved  very 
remunerative.  These  lands  were  skillfully  located  before  any  settle- 
ment of  the  region,  in  the  vicinity  of  streams  and  along  the  lines 
which  their  sagacity  predicted  prospective  railroads  must  take.  In 
the  profits  of  this  enterprise  he  generously  associated  the  other 
members  of  the  firm  of  L.  Truman  &  Brothers  with  himself. 


178  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

"In  1856  he  was  elected  President  of  the  Bank  of  Owego,  and 
continued  to  hold  that  office  until  that  institution  became  the  First 
National  Bank  of  Owego,  of  which  he  is  still  the  president  and 
principal  stockholder,  1879. 

■'In  1 85 7  he  was  elected  State  Senator  from  the  senatorial 
district  composed  of  Tioga,  Tompkins  and  Broome  ;  and  continued 
to  be  elected  to  that  position  for  three  successive  terms.  His  strong 
native  sagacity,  and  his  known  integrity,  gave  him  a  commanding 
inriuence  in  that  body  ;  and  although  he  made  no  pretensions  to 
skill  as  a  public  debater,  yet,  even  in  that  capacity,  the  directness 
with  which  he  addressed  himself  to  the  subject  under  debate,  the 
promptness  with  which  he  laid  open  the  real  point  at  issue,  and  the 
personally  independent,  frank,  and  outspoken  fashion  in  which  he 
treated  all  the  influences  at  work  to  defeat  measures  that  he  favored, 
made  him  a  formidable  antagonist  in  debate.  His  original  style  and 
manner  had  a  certain  peculiar  relish,  and  his  home  thrusts  remark- 
able point  and  force. 

"When  the  War  of  the  Rebellion  broke  out,  Mr.  Truman  was, 
as  a  matter  of  course,  one  of  the  foremost  in  favor  of  every  measure 
calculated  to  bring  the  war  to  a  speedy  issue,  and  from  its  very  com- 
mencement he  contributed  largely  to  the  support  of  the  families  of 
ten  volunteers. 

"Durmg  all  of  Mr.  Truman's  active  life  his  pecuniary  help,  and 
his  invaluable  personal  direction  and  superintendence,  have  been 
often  sought,  and  largely  and  successfully  given  to  carrying  business 
friends  over  difficult  and  embarrassing  emergencies  in  their  affairs. 
When,  in  1849,  a  fire  nearly  destroyed  the  principal  business  portion 
of  Owego,  he  was  largely  influential  and  active  in  rebuilding  it, 
expending  a  large  part  of  his  own  means,  not  very  profitably,  for 
that  purpose.  He  has  always  been  a  ready  contributor  to  public 
enterprises,  and  very  helpful  to  many  in  the  way  of  private  charities. 

"Since  he  left  the  Senate,  Mr.  Truman  has  retired  from  political 
life,  the  cares  of  his  large  property  interests,  now  estimated  by  his 
neighbors  at  upwards  of  a  million  of  dollars,  demanding  his  exclusive 
attention.  Over  all,  however,  that  bears  the  name  of  'Truman,'  the 
ex-Senator,  as  the  head  of  the  house,  still  extends,  as  ever,  his 
supervisory  care,  and  from  time  to  time,  as  needed,  his  kindly  and 
never-failing  pecuniary  and  personal  help." 


Sixth   Generation.  179 

Our  County  and  its  People  (Tioga),  by  L.  W.  Kingman,  says  of 
him : 

"Lyman  Park  Truman  was  from  1833  until  his  death  in  1881 
the  most  conspicuous  citizen  of  the  county  in  the  lines  of  its  com- 
mercial activity,  and  the  impress  of  his  indomitable  will  and  keen 
business  acumen  was  seen  far  beyond  its  limits.  He  was  a  natural 
financier,  a  man  of  creative  impress  and  of  original  and  highly  suc- 
cessful methods.  Where  other  men  could  see  only  ordinary  condi- 
tions his  brain  would  discern  far-reaching  possibilities,  which  under 
his  almost  unerring  sagacity  would  develop  into  vast  sources  of 
wealth,  business  activity  or  political  power.  He  was  blessed  with 
natural  advantages.  He  came  of  a  long  line  of  stalwart  New  England 
ancestors  who  so  conserved  their  vital  forces  as  to  strengthen  the 
stock  with  each  generation,  and  he  possessed  a  massive  physique 
with  wonderful  powers  of  endurance  and  a  brain  large  and  com- 
mensurate with  his  great  body.  From  the  commencement  of  his 
commercial  activity,  little  by  little,  steadily  and  continually,  the 
influence  of  his  personality  expanded  until  all  the  circles  of  business 
energy  existing  in  a  wide  radius  were  controlled  by  impulses  projected 
by  his  brain.  He  never  imitated.  Whatever  successes  others  won, 
mattered  nothing  to  him.  He  developed  his  own  plans,  perfect  in 
detail  from  conception  to  consummation,  and  dictated  to  others  the 
methods  to  insure  success.  He  dominated  his  associates  and  his 
ideas  became  theirs.  He  attached  men  to  him  so  that  their  aid  and 
service  resembled  the  loyal  devotion  of  the  ancient  vassal  to  his  liege 
lord,  and  he  never  allowed  contradiction.  In  everything  in  which  he 
had  part  his  will  was  law.  Although  holding  local  office  to  some 
extent  and  ably  serving  three  terms  in  the  State  Senate,  his  home 
was  in  the  region  of  business  and  finance.  There  his  nature  was 
given  full  play  and  the  result  was  the  acquisition  of  great  fortunes 
for  his  own  and  others'  enjoyment.  Had  his  lot  been  cast  in  the 
broader  opportunities  of  New  York  City  and  the  more  responsive 
atmosphere  of  Wall  Street,  Lyman  Truman  would  have  shown  him- 
self facile  prmceps  among  the  moneyed  Napoleons  and  financial 
kings  of  that  great  metropolis." 

He  died  March  24,  1881.  She  died  April  9,  1896.  Residence

3382.  Capt,  John  Gorman.  He  was  born  in  Aug.,  181 4.  He 
married,  Sept.  7,  1841,  Dorinda  M.  Truman.  1113.  Captain  of  Co. 
C.,  109  N.  Y.  Regt.  Vols.  He  was  killed  May  31,  1864,  at  the 
battle  of  Cold  Harbor,  Va.  Member  of  Owego  Hook  and  Ladder 
Co.,  1837.     She  died  Sept.  12,  1895. 

At  the  time  of  her  death  the  Owego  Times  said  : 

"She  was  a  woman  given  to  dispensing  alms,  helping  the  needy, 
anxious  to  relieve  suffering  and  distress,  whenever  she  found  them. 
Time  can  never  reveal  what  she  has  done  to  lighten  the  burden  of 
other  lives.  Many  will  rise  up  in  eternity  to  thank  her.  'Let  her 
own  works  praise  her.' 

"Of  her  love  for  the  Church,  and  her  intense  interest  in  its 
prosperity,  too  much  cannot  be  said.  When  unable,  longer,  to 
attend  upon  the  services  of  the  sanctuary,  by  reason  of  infirmity,  she 
was  always  inquiring  as  to  Zion's  welfare.  Often  has  she  been  heard 
to  say,  'I  do  love  the  Church,'  and  none  who  knew  her  at  all,  can 
doubt  that  she  did.  The  Congregational  Church  has  lost  a  true, 
earnest  and  faithful  member,  and  while  the  Church  on  earth  has 
been  made  the  poorer  by  her  departure,  the  society  of  the  redeemed 
in  heaven  has  been  enriched  by  her  coming  to  them. 

"Of  the  sacred  and  tender  relationship  in  the  home,  we  need 
say  but  little.  There  was  cheer  and  sunshine  about  her  home-life, 
which  was  a  blessing  to  all  who  came  under  its  influence.  'Her 
children  rise  up  and  call  her  blessed.'  The  sisters  and  brothers 
know  something  of  the  richness  and  preciousness  of  that  home-life. 
They  feel  to  exclaim  in  the  words  of  Scripture,  'Many  daughters 
have  done  virtuously,  but  thou  excellest  them  all.'  The  large  number 
present  at  her  funeral  on  Sunday  afternoon  attest,  more  loudly  than 
words  can,  the  high  esteem  in  which  she  was  held  by  all.  On  that 
occasion  her  pastor,  Rev.  C.  M.  Bartholomew,  chose  for  a  text,  Luke 
II,  37,  speaking  of  the  old  age  of  Christian  faith  and  confidence  as  it 
applied  to  her  life  and  its  work.  Renan  has  said,  'The  highest  style 
of  living  is  to  live  so,  that  in  ceasing  to  live,  one  does  not  cease  to 
be  loved.'  Be  that  as  it  may,  one  thing  is  certain,  our  dear  friend  is 
still  loved.  Reviewing  such  a  life  and  observing  its  happy,  triumphant 
end,  one  feels  like  saying  with  one  of  old,  'Let  me  die  the  death  of 
the  righteous,  and  let  my  last  end  be  like  his.'  "

He  married,  Oct.  9,  1866,  Abbie  Pierce  Chapman.  1236.  He 
received  an  academic  education  ;  engaged  in  mercantile  pursuits, 
and  was  President  of  the  Common  Council  of  Providence,  R.  I., 
1872-3.  Representative,  1875  ;  Speaker,  1876.  Member  of  Con-

Hartford  and  Fishkill  R.  R.  Company.  Prominent  member  of

The  Cyclopedia  of  American  Biographies,  by  John  Howard 
Brown,  says  of  him  : 

"Nelson  Wilmarth  iVldrich,  Senator,  was  born  in  Foster,  R.  L, 
Nov.  6,  1841.  His  early  education  was  acquired  at  Killingly,  Conn, 
lit-  then  attended  the   academy  at  East   Greenwich,  R.  I.,  and  when 


SENATOR     NELSON     W.    ALDRICH 


Sixth   Generation.  189 

graduated  began  a  business  life  at  Providence,  R.  I.  His  practical 
interest  in  city  affairs  caused  him  to  be  elected  in  the  City  Council 
from  1869-75,  and  from  1872-3  he  was  its  President.  On  leaving 
the  Council  he  was  elected  as  a  Republican  to  the  General  Assembly 
of  the  state,  and  in  1876  was  Speaker  of  the  House.  In  1878  he 
was  elected  to  represent  his  district  in  the  46th,  and  was  re-elected 
in  1880  to  the  47th  Congress.  His  practical  business  methods 
applied  to  legislation  so  increased  the  confidence  he  had  already 
won  in  the  state,  that  in  1881  he  was  elected  by  the  Rhode  Island 
legislature  to  the  vacancy  in  the  United  States  Senate,  caused  by  the 
death  of  Ambrose  E.  Burnside.  He  was  re-elected  in  1886  and 
again  in  1892.  During  his  several  terms,  he  served  on  important 
committees,  notably  on  that  of  finance,  on  which  he  was  retained 
during  his  entire  term  of  service  in  the  Senate.  He  thus  became 
thoroughly  familiar  with  the  intricate  questions  of  finance  and  tariff, 
and  Senators  accorded  him  an  attentive  hearing  whenever  he  had 
occasion  to  present  his  views.  Large  credit  is  due  to  Senator 
Aldrich  for  the  reciprocity  features  introduced  in  the  McKinley  tariff 
bill,  his  suggestions  being  accepted,  after  the  proposition  made  by 
Mr.  Blaine  had  been  discussed  and  dropped  by  mutual  consent.  In 
his  subsequent  career  in  the  Senate  he  has  been  prominent  in  the 
discussion  of  the  great  financial  questions  that  arose  in  Congress  and 
was  conspicuous  as  an  earnest  advocate  of  mono-metallism." 

They  have  four   children.       Residence,  igoi.    Providence,  R.  I. 

Children : 

3641.  Abbie  Greene.  The  newspapers  of  the  country  of  Aug.  27,  1901, 
announced  her  engagement  to  John  Davidson  Rockefeller,  Jr. 
The  wedding  day  is  Oct.  9,  1901.  The  New  York  Journal  of 
Aug.  27,  1901,  says  of  her  :  "The  engagement  of  Miss  Abbie 
G.  Aldrich,  second  daughter  of  the  millionaire  Senator  from 
Rhode  Island,  to  John  D.  Rockefeller,  Jr.,  only  son  of  the 
Standard  Oil  king  and  heir  presumptive  to  the  greatest  fortune 
in  the  world,  was  announced  yesterday.  She  is  handsome, 
brilliant,  a  favorite  of  society,  the  bearer  of  a  distinguished 
name  ;  he  is  stalwart,  earnest,  pious,  rich  even  without  his 
great  expectations,  a  business  man.  They  are  about  the  same 
age — twenty-six — and  they  have  been  in  each  other's  thoughts 
since  he  was  a  college  student  at  Brown  and  used  to  visit  at 
Senator   .\ldrich's  big  town  house,  on   Bennett  Street,    Provi- 


I90  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

dence,  and  at  the  villas  at  Warwick  Neck.  The  same  wire 
that  brings  news  of  the  betrothal  carries  the  intelligence  that 
young  Rockefeller  is  negotiating  for  the  purchase  of  Rocky 
Point,  the  most  beautiful  shore  resort  on  Narragansett  Bay, 
which  adjoins  his  future  father-in-law's  place.  The  match  is 
no  surprise  ;  it  has  been  an  understood  thing  for  some  time, 
and  society's  main  interest  in  the  event  concerns  the  future  of 
the  young  pair  who  will  start  in  wedlock  so  well  endowed. 
Miss  Abbie  Aldrich  has  not  been  more  conspicuous  in  church 
circles  than  most  young  ladies  of  her  station  in  society,  while 
the  young  man  has  been  a  leader  in  Baptist  circles  ever  since  he 
came  from  college.  He  is  treasurer  of  the  Fifth  Avenue  Sun- 
day School,  and  has  always  seemed  to  dread  the  responsibility 
of  the  great  wealth  that  will  be  his,  rather  than  to  consider  it  a 
means  to  promote  his  own  pleasure.  He  is  fond  of  speaking 
before  religious  bodies  and  has  been  known  to  refer  to  himself 
as  a  steward  from  whom  an  accounting  would  one  day  be 
demanded.  Now  the  question  is  :  will  she  make  a  society  man 
of  him,  and  will  the  Rockefeller  name  become  a  synonym  for 
the  magnificent  entertainments  she  is  so  competent  to  give,  or 
will  he  make  a  devotee  of  her  ?  Or,  will  each  adopt  something 
of  the  other's  character  and  make  the  house  of  Rockefeller 
famous  alike  for  piety  and  for  social  splendor  ?  When  the 
young  man  was  at  Brown  he  was  the  manager  of  the  football 
team  and  displayed  his  business  quality  by  making  the  football 
team  self-supporting  for  the  first  time  in  the  college's  history. 
He  was  a  very  democratic  young  fellow  at  college,  made  no 
display  of  his  wealth,  and  though  the  football  and  his  fraternity, 
Alpha  Delta  Phi,  took  much  of  his  time,  he  was  a  good  deal  of 
a  grind  at  his  studies.  He  was  at  college  to  learn,  and  it  is  his 
nature  to  get  the  full  worth  of  anything  he  goes  into.  It  was 
through  his  influence  that  his  father  gave  11500,000  to  Brown 
University  last  fall.  Young  Rockefeller  has  had  few  diversions 
since  he  left  the  universit}'.  He  rode  horseback  a  little,  but 
his  life  lay  mainly  1)etween  the  offices  of  the  Standard  Oil 
Company  and  the  Baptist  Church.  Recently  he  has  emerged 
in  a  small  degree  from  his  retirement,  and  last  week  organized 
a  dancing  class,  which  will  meet  at  Delmonico's  four  times 
next  season.  This  is  probably  the  greatest  dissipation  of  which 
he  has  ever  been  guilty.  As  a  business  man  he  won  his  spurs 
in  Leather  stock  a  year  ago.  He  bought  in  700  shares  of 
Leather  at  1 1  to  20  and  sold  it  at  30  or  40,  thus  making  his  first 
million.  He  went  into  the  Standard  Oil  offices  as  a  clerk  and 
ran  the  gamut  of  the  office  routine.  Now  he  is  supposed  to  be 
competent  to  take  his  father's  place  and  handle  his  vast  hold- 
ings whenever  he  is  called  on  to  assume  that  great  responsibility. 


Sixth   Generation.  191 

His  life  is  as  regular  as  that  of  a  boy  at  a  military  school.  He 
rises  at  6:30  a.  m.  ;  from  7  to  quarter  of  8  he  exercises — walking 
or  chopping  wood.  He  takes  half  an  hour  to  breakfast,  catches 
the  8:40  train  at  Tarry  town  for  New  York,  goes  inmiediately  to 
his  office  and  remains  there,  except  for  half  an  hour  for 
luncheon,  until  3:15  p.  m.,  when  he  returns  to  Tarrytown.  He 
drives  for  an  hour  and  then  dines,  and  by  9:30  is  in  bed.  His 
prospective  father-in-law  was  a  grocery  merchant  of  very  mod- 
erate fortune  in  Providence  until  he  went  into  politics.  Thirty 
years  ago  he  became  President  of  the  Providence  Common 
Council.  In  1876  he  was  a  member  of  the  Rhode  Island  General 
Assembly.  He  went  to  Congress,  and  in  1880  became  a  United 
States  Senator.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Committees  on  Finance, 
Pensions  and  Ordinance  and  Warships  and  Chairman  of  trans- 
portation routes  to  the  seaboard.  He  is  said  to  have  been  the 
real  author  of  the  McKinley  tarifif  bill.  His  position,  apart 
from  the  Government,  is  President  of  the  United  Traction 
Company,  of  Providence.  The  bride-to-be  had  a  narrow  escape 
last  month.  She  was  on  the  yacht  Wild  Duck  when  it  ran 
down  the  Joy  Liner  Tremont  in  Long  Island  Sound."  The 
New  York  World  of  Sept.  i,  1901,  says  of  her  :  "Miss  Abby 
G.  Aldrich,  second  daughter  of  the  senior  United  States  Senator 
from  Rhode  Island,  who  is  to  become  the  wife  of  John  D. 
Rockefeller,  Jr.,  the  man  who  will  probably  be  the  first 
billionaire  in  the  hiscory  of  the  world,  is  a  cultured,  brilliant 
and  serious-minded  young  woman.  Notwithstanding  her 
father's  long  residence  in  Washington,  she  has  passed  most  of 
her  life  in  Providence,  where  she  was  born.  Usually  in  the 
winter  she  goes  to  Aiken,  N.  C.  The  great  social  functions  of 
the  capital  seemingly  have  no  charm  for  her,  although  it  has 
been  stated  that  Senator  Aldrich  has  taken  a  mansion  in  Wash- 
ington this  winter  and  will  entertain,  with  Mrs.  Aldrich  and 
his  two  daughters.  Miss  Lucy  T.  and  Miss  Abby,  as  hostesses. 
Heretofore  the  Aldriches  have  lived  at  the  Arlington  Hotel  and 
have  done  no  entertaining,  as  Mrs.  Aldrich  and  the  girls  have 
not  been  in  Washington  more  than  six  months  all  told  during 
the  long  service  of  Mr.  Aldrich  in  the  Senate.  Probablv  the 
most  interesting  fact  about  Miss  Aldrich  is  that,  except  in  the 
most  general  way,  she  does  not  care  for  society  and  its  frivoli- 
ties. She  is  pretty  and  attractive  and  could  easily  shine  should 
she  care  to  enter  the  lists.  Her  interests  are  in  opposite 
directions.  She  had  advanced  ideas  about  education  and  is  a 
student  of  literature.  Her  pin  money,  her  friends  say,  goes 
mostly  for  the  newest  high-class  books  and  for  the  solid 
magazines.  She  is  interested  in  practical  charity  and  much 
prefers  to  investigate  and  relieve  a  genuine  case  of  distress  than

to  spend  an  afternoon  with  a  dressmaker  talking  about  the  fit 
of  a  gown.  From  this  it  must  not  be  imagined  that  Miss 
Aldrich  does  not  dress  well,  for  she  does.  Her  father  is  several 
times  a  millionaire  and  lavishes  his  money  on  his  family.  But 
she  cares  for  dress  only  as  a  young  woman  of  her  station  who 
has  no  infatuation  for  society  should  care  for  it.  It  is  not  a 
passion  with  her  and  does  not  distract  her  mind  from  the  larger 
problems  of  life,  of  which  she  is  an  earnest  student.  Miss 
Aldrich's  fad  is  a  firm  belief  in  the  higher  education  of  both 
sexes.  She  is  thoroughly  in  harmony  with  the  educational 
ideas  of  the  Rockefellers.  She  is  devoted,  also,  to  church  work. 
These  features  of  Miss  Aldrich's  character,  in  addition  to  her 
great  personal  charm,  must  appeal  to  both  her  future  husband 
and  to  John  D.  Rockefeller,  his  father,  whose  financial  support 
of  the  Baptist  Church  is  only  equalled  by  the  great  gifts  he 
makes  to  the  Chicago  University,  of  which  he  is  virtually  the 
founder.  Senator  Aldrich,  her  father,  is  often  spoken  of  as 
the  "business  man"  of  the  Senate.  He  rarely  makes  a  speech, 
but  he  is  at  the  head  of  the  immensely  important  Finance 
Committee,  through  which  all  tariff  and  other  business  legis- 
lation must  go.  His  predominating  trait  of  mind  is  exactness. 
He  is  thoroughly  business-like.  Miss  Abby  has  inherited  these 
qualities  to  a  marked  degree.  In  her  charitable  work  she  is  as 
precise  as  the  most  painstaking  manager  of  a  business  enter- 
prise. She  gives  generously,  but  never  until  she  has  investi- 
gated the  merits  of  each  case  brought  to  her  attention.  She 
does  not  believe  in  indiscriminate  charity  and  will  not  afTord 
the  slightest  assistance  until  she  knows  the  facts.  She  tells  to 
her  intimates  the  story  of  an  experience  she  had  in  Aiken  which 
strengthened  her  resolution  in  this  regard.  A  few  winters  ago, 
before  she  knew  as  much  of  the  wiles  of  mendicants  as  she  does 
now,  a  negro  girl  approached  her  with  a  tale  of  woe  that  was 
heartrending.  Her  mother  was  dead,  her  grandfather  almost 
dead  from  rheumatism  and  she  herself  ill  and  suffering  from 
hunger.  Miss  Aldrich  was  much  moved  by  the  tale  of  mis- 
fortune and  called  the  girl  into  her  house.  She  gave  her  a 
meal  and  some  clothes  and  a  generous  sum  of  money  for  her 
immediate  necessities.  She  promised  also  to  find  her  work. 
After  the  girl  left  Miss  Aldrich  began  to  wonder  if  she  had 
done  lier  full  duty  in  so  distressing  a  case.  Should  she  not 
have  sent  something  to  the  rheumatic  old  grandfather?  She 
decided  affirmatively  and  told  the  cook  to  put  some  food  in  a 
basket.  Then  she  ordered  her  pony  chaise  and  drove  to  the 
address  given  by  the  girl.  There  was  no  house  there.  She 
searched  the  neighV)orhood  and  finally  learned  from  a  police- 
man that  the  girl  was  an  impostor  and  the  rheumatic  grand- 


Sixth    Generation.  193 

father  a  myth.  So  she  gave  the  meal  to  an  old  negro  woman 
who  lived  near  by  and  drove  home.  Then  she  formulated  this 
rule,  which  guides  her  now  in  all  her  charitable  work  :  'Never 
give  even  five  cents  to  a  mendicant  until  you  have  investigated 
the  story.  In  benevolent  enterprises  the  greatest  benevolence 
is  to  punish  the  unworthy  and  thus  protect  the  deserving  cases 
of  charity.'  Undoubtedly  in  the  great  affairs  with  which  Miss 
Aldrich  will  be  connected  after  she  becomes  Mrs.  John  D. 
Rockefeller,  Jr.,  she  will  follpw  this  rule.  Her  tastes  are  so 
entirely  in  harmony  with  those  of  her  future  husband  that  the 
benevolences  which  they  will  institute  will  be  carried  out  on 
the  lines  already  indicated  by  the  senior  Rockefeller.  It  is 
understood  that  Mr.  Rockefeller  and  Miss  Aldrich  have  been 
lovers  for  some  years  and  that  the  engagement  has  existed  for 
some  time.  Nearly  a  year  ago  Senator  .\ldrich  hinted  some- 
thing of  the  kind  to  his  intimates  in  the  Senate.  Miss  Aldrich 
is  not  particularly  fond  of  outdoor  sports,  although  she  shares 
Mr.  Rockefeller's  love  for  horses.  She  golfs  a  little  and  can 
swim  and  sail  a  small  boat.  She  much  prefers  to  read  a  solid 
work  or  an  educational  topic  than  to  dance  or  attend  a  dinner 
party.  She  is  tall,  graceful  and  a  charming  talker.  Just  now 
she  is  at  Greenwich,  R.  I.,  where  Senator  Aldrich  has  a  summer 
home.  Her  social  ideas  may  be  summed  up  in  the  statement 
that  although  she  is  but  a  few  miles  from  Newport  and  its 
gayeties  she  never  goes  there."

him  : 

Chicago,  III.,  Jan.  15,  1892. 

My  Dear  Truman  : — My  grandfather's  name  was  John  Truman, 
who  had  three  sons  and  two  daughters:  i.  Nathan  Truman.  2. 
lohn  Truman.  3.  Henry  Hammond  Truman  (my  father).  4.  Sarah 
Truman.  5.  Elizabeth  Truman.  All  were  born  in  Providence.  My

Law  College  in  Washington,  made  a  fortune,  married  a  Louisiana

still  lives  with  her  parents.     We  were  all  born  in  Providence. 

Truly, 

Ben. 

P.  S.     I  had  a  boy  born  in  San  Diego  in  1870,  who  died  in  Los 

Angeles  in  1871.     Georgie  was  born  in  Los  Angeles  in   1873.     My 

wife's  great-great-great-grandfather  on  her  father's  side  was  Captain 

Eugene  Maillard  of  Lafayette's  staff,  and  her  great-great-grandfather 

was  a  sergeant  in  the  war  of   181 2,  and  was  killed   at  the  battle  of 

Tippecanoe.     He  was  a  Virginian.     I  would  like  to  know  if  any  of 

our  fathers'  fathers  were  "in  it".

paper article  written  in  Los  Angeles,  Cal.,  and  printed  in  a  New

Los  Angeles,  Nov.  12,  1897. 

My  Dear  Jtm  : — Yours  came  safely  to  hand  with  enclosure.  It 
wasn't  so  bad  after  all,  and  much  of  it  was  true,  especially  regarding 
their  soldiers  and  some  of  the  so-called  "Castilians".  But  there  were 
quite  a  number  of  very  nice  people  here  before  those  last  comers 
during  the  boom,  of  which  the  writer  thinks  brought  the  better 
classes.  He  undoubtedly  considers  himself  one  of  the  creme  de  la 
cre'me.  On  the  whole  he  was  a  little  too  severe.  I  really  appreciated 
your  pedigree  search,  which  seems  to  be  complete.     Of  course  dur-

ing  the  past  thirty-five  years  a  great  many  persons  of  our  name  have 
come  from  Ireland  and  England,  but  none  are  of  much  account.  Our 
family  is  certainly  one  of  the  oldest  American  families,  and  although 
there  never  has  been  any  criminals  or  scrubs  in  it,  it  has  probably 
improved  with  every  generation  up  to  our  own.  I  see  that  my  name 
occupies  about  thirty  lines  in  Appleton's  Biographical  Encyclopedia, 
and  mention  is  made  of  me  as  an  author  and  soldier  in  the  Brittanica. 
Here  are  some  of  the  positions  I  have  occupied,  which,  as  you  have 
taken  so  much  pains  to  get  the  records,  I  will  let  you  know  : 

Benjamin  Cummings  Truman.  Born  in  Providence,  R.  I., 
Oct.  25,  1835.  Graduated  in  high  school  studies  at  age  of  13. 
Went  to  Shaker  School  in  Canterbury,  N.  H.,  until  I  was  17,  then 
taught  school  No.  9  of  Merrimack  Co.  for  one  year.  1854  worked  at 
printing  business  in  Providence.  1855  went  to  New  York,  and  set 
type  and  read  proof  on  N.  Y.  Times  for  five  years.  In  Oct.,  1859, 
went  to  Philadelphia  as  correspondent  of  N.  Y.  Clipper.  Soon 
became  editor  of  the  Sunday  Mercury,  then  managing  Ed.  Forney's 
Washington  Chronicle.  On  March  6,  1862,  was  appointed  captain 
and  provost  marshal  on  stafi^  of  Andrew  Johnson,  who  had  been 
made  Brigadier  General  of  Volunteers  and  Military  Governor  of 
Tennessee.  Was  also  war  correspondent  of  New  York  Times  for 
more  than  rwo  years  at  one  hundred  dollars  a  week.  Staid  with 
Johnson  until  he  was  elected  vice-president.  Returned  to  him  after 
he  became  president.  In  August,  1865,  was  appointed  special  com- 
missioner to  investigate  condition  of  the  South.  Returned  in  March, 
1866.  Two  days  afterward  was  appointed  special  agent  of  the 
Treasury  Department  and  sent  to  South  Carolina  and  Florida  to 
investigate  Direct  Tax  Commissioners.  In  August,  same  year,  sent 
to  Paris  on  a  secret  service  trip  by  President  Johnson.  December  of 
same  year  made  special  agent  of  the  P.  O.  department  of  entire 
department  of  entire  Pacific  Coast  from  Alaska  to  Mexico,  with  juris- 
diction of  China,  Japan  and  Hawaiian  mails  at  $5000  a  year  and 
traveling  expenses.  This  position  I  held  three  years,  and  visited  all 
the  countries  above  named.  Dec.  8,  1869,  married  Augusta  Mallard 
whose  paternal  grandfather  was  on  the  staff  of  Napoleon,  and  whose 
maternal  grandfather  was  a  soldier  of  the  Revolution.  From  1870 
to  1877  owned  the  Daily  Star  of  Los  Angeles.  From  1878  to  1879 
was   again   special   agent  of  P.  O.  D.     From  Jan.  i,   1879  to  Jan., 


198  History  of  the  Treman  Family; 

1890,  eleven  years,  I  had  charge  of  literary  work  of  Southern  Pacific 
R.  R.  Company  at  salary  of  $400  a  month,  and  in  that  time  I  made 
thirty-eight  trips  across  the  Continent,  accompanied  by  my  family. 
Had  executive  charge  of  exhibit  of  South  Pacific  Co.  at  N.  O.  Exposi- 
tion in  1884-5.  Represented  same  Co.  in  London  (American  Ex.) 
in  1897  and  in  Paris  in  1889.  Had  an  exhibit  in  Chicago  for  1891 
and  1892  for  So.  Cal.  and  Santa  Fe  R.  R.,  and  was  assistant  chief 
of  floriculture  of  Columbian  Exposition.  Am  author  of  eight  bound 
books  and  manv  others.  Belong  to  Bohemian  and  Press  Clubs  of 
S.  F.  and  Union  and  Press  Clubs  of  Los  Angeles.  Belong  to  Loyal 
Legion  and  seven  other  associations.  Of  course  you  would  be  glad 
to  know  that  we  are  not  afraid  of  the  wolf  at  the  door.  In  other 
words,  we  are  in  good  circumstances.  Am  now  managing  a  fine 
newspaper  in  Los  Angeles.  Have  one  child,  a  daughter,  twenty-four 
years  old.  I  believe  that  gives  you  my  record  up  to  date.  It  is 
accurate,  so  far  as  I  can  remember,  and  I  think  there  is  no  mistake 
in  dates  ;  if  there  were,  though,  that  would  be  no  disturbing  feature. 
My  brother  Johnnie  was  born  in  Providence  in  1846,  studied  in 
college  and  in  Europe,  and  graduated  from  the  Columbian  Law  Col- 
lege, and  was  attorney  for  the  Illinois  and  Rand  &  McNally.  He

Abner/  John,'  Joseph,"  Joseph.')  1805.  He  was  born  Dec.  13, 
1850.,  at  Ithaca,  N.  Y.  He  prepared  at  Eaglewood  Military  Insti- 
tute, Perth  xA.mboy,  N.  J.,  and  the  Vermont  Episcopal  Institute  at 
Burlington,  Vt.,  and  attended  Cornell  University,  1868-9.  He  mar- 
ried (ist)  April  22,  1884,  Eugenie  MacMahan  (daughter  of  Oliver 
MacMahan,  of  Lyons,  la.).  She  was  born  in  1861.  She  died  August 
17,  1886.  He  married  (2nd)  April  23,  1891,  Isabelle  Norwood 
(adopted  daughter  of  Miles  L.  Clinton,  instructor  in  Cornell  University, 
of  Ithaca,  N.  Y.).  While  in  college  he  was  a  member  of  the  Chi  Phi 
Greek-letter  fraternity,  and  as  a  local  alumnus,  has  given  much  time 
and  financial  support  to  the  Cornell  chapter,  which  has  one  of  the 
finest  homes  among  American  colleges.  While  in  college  he  was  a 
member  of  the  crew  of  the  Sprague  Boat  Club  and  he  was  also  a 
member  of  the  University  Baseball  Club.  He  was  afterwards  a  mem- 
ber of  the  old  Ithaca  Baseball  Club.  After  leaving  college  he  at  once 
entered  the  hardware  store  of  Treman,  King  &  Co.  to  prepare  himself 
for  an  active  business  career  in  which  he  has  been  eminently  success- 
ful owing  to  natural  ability  of  a  high  order  and  the  training  of  a  father 
who  was  the  equal  of  any  in  business  ability  ever  in  this  part  of  our 
State.  Under  his  father's  guidance  also,  and  by  his  advice,  he 
severed  his  connection  with  the  store,  after  a  few  years'  service,  and 
entered  the  ofitice  of  the  Ithaca  Gas  Light  Company  and  the  Ithaca 
Water  Works  Company,  of  both  of  which  companies  his  father  was  long 
President,  and  with  these  companies  he  has  since  remained,  a  period 
of  over  fifteen  years,  he  having  been,  however,  promoted  to  Secretary 
and  Superintendent,  which  positions  he  successfully  filled  many 
years,  and  to  the  Presidency  of  both  companies,  upon  the  death  of

his  father,  in  1900.  He  was  also  elected  a  Director  of  the  Tompkins 
County  National  Bank  to  succeed  his  father,  in  1900.  He  is  also  a 
director  in  the  Ithaca  Trust  Company.  Aside  from  his  business 
duties  he  has  found  exercise  for  other  talents;  being  a  musician 
himself,  and  intensely  interested  in  the  subject,  he  has  found  ways  in 
which  to  use  his  knowledge  and  wealth,  to  contribute  not  only  to  the 
gratification  of  his  own  artistic  tastes  but  to  contribute,  through  the 
channels  of  music,  to  the  value  of  the  work  of  his  church,  and  to  the 
pleasure  of  his  fellow  citizens.  He  is  undisputably  the  leading  musi- 
cian and  patron  of  music  in  Ithaca  and  that  part  of  the  State.  He 
was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  old  Mozart  Club,  and  its  successor, 
the  Ithaca  Choral  Club,  taking  an  active  part  in  its  productions  and 
giving  it  loyal  support.  He  at  an  early  age  took  entire  charge,  as 
choirmaster,  of  the  music  of  St.  John's  Protestant  Episcopal  church 
of  Ithaca  and  the  fame  of  its  choir  has  been  treasured  as  a  memory 
by  thousands  of  students  of  Cornell  in  every  part  of  the  world.  It  was 
through  his  efforts  that  the  church  has  had  for  several  years  one  of  the 
best  organs  procurable.  He  was  elected  a  Vestryman  in  St.  John's 
P.  E.  church  to  succeed  his  father  in  1900.  He  several  years  ago  saw 
the  need  of  a  new  Opera  House  in  Ithaca,  and  while  it  did  not 
promise,  and  has  not  realized,  a  profit  to  its  promoters,  yet  prompted 
by  a  public  spirit,  worthy  of  emulation,  he  and  a  few  other  men  of 
wealth,  mostly  in  his  own  family,  erected  one  of  the  finest  play-houses 
in  the  State,  at  a  cost  of  over  sixty  thousand  dollars,  that  the  college 
town  might  have  some  attractive  place  of  assembly ;  of  this,  the 
Lyceum  Company,  he  has  been  President  since  its  organization.  Not 
content  in  his  many  activities  thus  far  in  the  musical  line,  he  deter- 
mined that  Ithaca  should  have  a  band — not  an  ordinary  band  of  the 
brass  variety — but  a  band  that  would  be  the  pride  of  its  citizens 
wherever  it  should  appear.  This  desire  has  been  more  than  reaUzed. 
The  Ithaca  Band  is  known  favorably  all  over  the  country,  having 
taken  prizes  in  numerous  contests  with  other  famous  bands,  and 
filled  an  engagement  of  ont  week,  August  6-1 1,  1901,  at  the  Pan- 
American  Exposition.  Its  success  is  largely  due  to  his  judicious 
advice  and  firm  financial  support  and  knowledge  of  music  and  musi- 
cians. He  has  accumulated,  with  discriminating  judgment  and  at 
large  expense,  one  of  the  finest  general  and  musical  libraries  in  the 
country,  and  wrote  a  manuscript  History  of  Music  in  four  volumes 


Seventh   Generation.  201 

which  has  been  beautifully  embellished.  He  early  took  an  interest  in 
his  family  history  and  its  achievements  and  spent  much  time  in  the 
collection  of  data  relating  to  the  family,  till  the  pressure  of  business 
necessitated  that  he  turn  it  over  to  another  to  complete,  and  the 
result  is  seen  in  the  present  volume,  which  shows  an  evidence  of 
public  spirit  and  unusual  interest  in  one's  family.  In  "Landmarks 
of  Tompkins  County,  N.  Y.,"  will  be  found  a  well  written  short  his- 
tory of  the  family  from  his  pen,  which  shows  much  research  and  is  a 
valuable  contribution  to  both  family  and  local  history.  He  has 
always  taken  an  active  interest  in  Democratic  politics  but  has  invaria- 
bly declined  political  office.  He  is  a  member  of  Knights  of  Pythias, 
St.  Augustine  Commandery,  Knights  Templar,  and  the  Odd  Fellows 
fraternities,  and  Tornado  Hook  and  Ladder  Company. 

"Landmarks  of  Tompkins  County"  says  of  him : 

"He  became  associated  with  the  large  interests  of  his  father, 
though  not  a  member  of  the  hardware  firm.  He  is  secretary  and 
superintendent  of  both  the  Water  and  Gas  Companies,  positions 
which  require  executive  ability  of  a  high  order  and  fully  occupy  his 
time.  He  is  also  president  of  the  recently  (1894)  formed  Lyceum 
Company,  and  the  erection  of  the  new  theatre  in  Ithaca  is  the  reali- 
zation of  plans  which  he  has  had  under  consideration  for  many  years. 
He  is  a  young  man  of  popular  social  qualities  and  highly  esteemed 
in  the  business  circles  of  his  native  citv."

4005.  John  Sayles  Waterman.  He  was  born  at  Smithfield, 
Providence  County,  R.  I.  He  graduated  at  Cornell  University.  1877. 
While  in  college  he  was  a  member  of  the  Theta  Delta  Chi  fraternity. 
He  was  a  member  of  the  victorious  Cornell  'Varsity  crew  at  Saratoga 
Lake  in  1875.  He  married  Jeannie  Mead  Treman.  1806.  He  was 
engaged  for  several  years  in  the  manufacture  of  agricultural  imple- 
ments under  the  firm  name  of  Treman,  Waterman   &   Co.   at   Ithaca. 

At  the  time  of  his  death  the  Ithaca   Daily  Journal  said   of  him  : 

"He  was  not  only  a  close  student  while  in  the  University  but  a 
fine  athlete  as  well,  and  much  of  the  credit  of  the  Cornell  crew's 
famous  victories  at  Saratoga  was  due  to  his  prowess,  he  pulling  bow 
oar  in  those  memorable  contests.     Some   of   his   friends   are   of  the

opinion  that  his  early  physical  decline  was  attributable  to  his  over- 
exertion in  those  races.  After  finishing  his  studies,  Mr.  Waterman 
became  interested  in  business  here  as  a  member  of  the  firm  of 
Treman,  Waterman  &  Co." 

He  died  March   lo,  1891,  at  Pittsford,  Vt.     She  resides,  1901,

Buffalo,  financially,  politically  and  socially.  His  mother,  Margaret

respected  as  a  man  and  a  citizen. 


240  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

•In  I S46,  he,  with  his  father's  family,  moved  to  Lawrenceville 
where  he  resided  until  the  breaking  out  of  the  Civil  War,  when  he  at 
once  enlisted  in  Captain  Phil  Holland's  company  in  the  Pennsylvania 
Reserves,  this  being  one  of  the  first  companies  to  enlist  from  Tioga 
County.  Later  he  enlisted  in  Company  F,  Captain  Harrower's  com- 
pany in  the  86th  N.  Y.,  for  three  years.  When  his  term  of  enlistment 
expired  he  again  re-enlisted  in  the  same  regiment  and  served  until 
the  close  of  the  war  in  1865. 

"Those,  who  are  familiar  with  the  history  of  the  brave  86th,  can 
form  some  idea  of  Mr.  Tremain's  experience  as  a  soldier,  for  this 
regiment  took  part  in  nearly  all  the  battles  of  Virginia,  from  Bull  Run 
to  Appomatox.  Mr.  Tremain,  himself,  was  in  some  twenty  battles 
and  skirmishes,  and  was  promoted  to  Second  Lieutenant,  then  to  First 
Lieutenant,  and  finally  Brevetted  Captain  for  meritorious  service. 

"In  the  battle  of  Gettysburg  he  was  wounded,  and  while  in  ser- 
vice he  contracted  inflammatory  rheumatism  from  which  he  never 
recovered,  and  as  the  result  of  this  disease  at  last  was  stricken  by  death. 

"March  3,  1867,  he  married  Amelia  King  who  died  in  1888, 
leaving  two  daughters,  Iva,  now  Mrs.  Thos.  Lynch,  of  Cross  Fork, 
and  Thyrza,  now  Mrs.  B.  V.  Pritchard,  of  Corning.  A  little  son  had 
preceded  the  mother  to  the  land  of  shadows. 

"In  1889,  he  married  for  his  second  wife,  Mary  F.  Beardsley,  of 
Wellsboro,  who  survives  him.  A  daughter.  Dons,  is  the  only  child 
of  this  union.  Four  brothers,  G.  H.  Tremain  and  Orrin  Tremain  of 
this  borough,  Warren  Tremain,  of  Elmira,  Munson  Tremain,  of  Frank- 
linville,  N.  Y.,  and  two  sisters,  Mrs.  Almira  Edgcomb  and  Mrs. 
Amelia  Nealy,  of  Elmira,  live  to  mourn  the  sundering  of  one  more 
family  tie. 

"Besides  Mr.  Tremain's  services  to  his  country  as  a  soldier,  he 
has  served  the  town  and  borough  as  constable  and  collector,  and  in 
1887  was  elected  to  the  responsible  office  of  County  Commissioner."

"A  reunion  of  the  Tremain  family,  and  some  of  their  relatives, 
was  held  yesterday  at  the  home  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Warren  H.  Tremain, 
No.  557  Coburn  Street.  The  lawn  was  nicely  arranged  with  plants, 
flowers,  tables  and  seats,  with  a  large  canopy  over  all  for  shade.  The 
day  was  all  that  could  be  wished  for,  and  all  present  enjoyed  them- 
selves immensely.  There  was  a  large  attendance.  It  was  decided  to 
hold  a  reunion  each  year  and  the  following  officers  were  elected  to

5441.  Col.  Frederick  Lyman.  Born  June  13,  1843,  at  Albany,  N.  Y.  He 
attended  Hobart  College,  1860-1.  Member  of  Theta  Delta  Chi 
college  fraternity.  First  Lieutenant  7th  New  York  Heavy 
Artillery,  Volunteers.  Promoted  Adjutant  Dec.  11,  1863,  to 
Capt.  and  A.  A.  G.  Lieutenant  Colonel  10th  N.  Y.  Cavalry 
and  Assistant  Adjutant  General  U.  S.  Vols.,  New  York.  Died, 
Feb.  6  (o.  8),  1865,  at  Hatcher's  Run,  Va.  The  History  of  the 
Lyman  Family  says  of  him  :  "He  went  from  Hobart  College 
into  the  army,  and  rose  to  the  rank  of  Lieutenant  Colonel  of 
the  loth  N.  Y.  Cavalry.  Having  passed  through  twenty -five 
battles  and  skirmishes,  and  achieved  a  brilliant  record,  he  was 
killed  by  a  rebel  sharpshooter  while  leading  his  regiment  at 
Hatcher's  Run,  Virginia,  in  Feb.,  1865.  The  brief  and  brilliant 
career  of  this  youthful  warrior,  which  for  heroic  daring  in 
action,  coolness,  consummate  skill  and  generalship  has  seldom 
been  surpassed,  deserves  a  further  record  than  time  and  space 
will  now  allow.  Parental  affection  has  fondly  and  eloquently 
said  :  To  the  pen  of  history  belongs  the  noble  task  of  record- 
ing the  military  operations  in  which  he  had  the  honor  to  par- 
ticipate during  the  ever  memorable  campaign  of  1864.  And  yet 
when  we  consider  the  bloody  and  obstinate  nature  of  the  battles 
that  were  fought,  the  glorious  and  unconquerable  resolution 
which  was  displayed  in  conducting  the  movements  of  the  Union 
armies,  the  immense  loss  of  human  life,  the  masterly  combina- 
tions of  those  armies,  the  vast  extent  of  country  which  consti- 
tuted the  field  of  their  display,  the  number  of  those  brilliant 
raids  performed  by  the  cavalry  alone,  through  the  heart  of  an 
enemy's  country,  each  one  constituting  an  interesting  history 
of  itself,  the  toil,  the  sacrifices,  the  fatigue,  sufferings  and  perils 
to  which  the  heroic  soldiers  in  those  armies  were  continually 
subjected,  and  to  which,  with  unflinching  fortitude  and  cheer- 
fulness they  submitted,  when  we  consider,  too,  the  innumerable 
deeds  of  personal  bravery,  performed  both  by  officers  and  men, 
the  holy  patriotic  purposes  by  which  the  great  body  of  those 
armies  was  prompted,  the  unselfish  willingness  they  manifested 
to  sacrifice  their  lives  for  the  preservation  of  the  honor,  the 
integrity,  and  the  unity  of  their  country,  and,  finally,  the 
glorious  and  successful  results  of  all  these  operations,  we  may 
well  doubt  whether  history  will  ever  contain  more  than  an  out- 
line skeleton  of  them  all.  He  participated  in  no  less  than 
twenty-five  battles  and  skirmishes  in  ten  months,  rose  high  in 
rank,  and  achieved  at  the  age  of  twenty-one  years  a  reputation 
for  military  qualifications  and  talents  which  were  the  admira- 
tion of  all  and  might  well  be  the  envy  of  renowned  veterans. 


248  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

The  scene  of  his  splendid  achievements  was  the  famous  battles 
of  the  Wilderness  and  in  connection  with  them  the  ever  memor- 
able raids  of  Gen.  Sheridan,  in  which  he  acted  a  conspicuous 
and  brilliant  part  until  struck  down  by  the  deadly  aim  of  a  rebel 
sharpshooter.  Col.  Tremain  went  to  the  field  in  the  fall  of 
1S62,  as  Adjutant  of  the  Seventh  Volunteer  Artillery.  Not 
relishing  the  monotony  and  inactivity  of  garrison  life,  to  which 
duty  the  regiment  was  assigned,  he  sought  and  obtained  a 
transfer,  and  was  detailed  to  staff  service  in  the  field,  with  Gen. 
Gregg,  in  the  cavalry  corps  of  Gen.  Sheridan.  And  there  he 
found  abundant  opportunity  for  the  display  of  his  high  sol- 
dierly qualities.  He  was  foremost  in  every  battle  in  which  that 
corps  engaged,  and  which  has  rendered  it  and  its  heroic  leaders 
famous  in  the  annals  of  the  war.  He  was  in  that  ever  memora- 
ble ride  from  Rapidan  to  the  James,  during  which  a  score  of 
battles  were  fought,  millions  of  the  enemy's  property  destroyed, 
the  outer  fortifications  of  Richmond  entered,  and  prodigies  of 
valor  displayed  by  every  member  of  the  heroic  band.  On  the 
James  he  joined  in  most  of  the  cavalry  reconnoissances  and 
raids  which  have  passed  into  history  as  among  the  most  dra- 
matic of  the  war,  and  fell  while  engaged  in  driving  back  the 
rebel  force  which  attempted  to  check  the  resistless  progress  of 
our  troops.  Col.  Tremain  was  a  young  man  to  be  admired  and 
loved.  He  combined,  with  a  noble  presence,  winning  manners 
and  attractive  social  qualities.  As  a  soldier  he  was  prompt  and 
fearless.  He  was  a  brave  rider,  and  coveted  nothing  so  much 
as  perilous  adventure.  He  early  attracted  the  attention  of  his 
superior  officers  by  his  manly  bearing  and  gallant  deeds  and 
earned  his  promotions  by  his  heroic  achievements.  Educated 
and  chivalrous,  he  speedilj^  won  the  confidence  of  his  superiors, 
and  promotion  soon  followed  the  development  of  the  soldierly 
accomplishments  which  distinguished  him  in  the  many  battles 
in  which  he  participated.  No  better  evidence  of  his  merits 
as  a  soldier  need  be  cited  than  the  fact  that  he  earned  the  rank 
of  Lieutenant  Colonel  at  the  early  age  of  twenty-one.  The 
history  of  this  war,  participated  in  by  so  many  of  the  youth  of 
the  country,  and  offering  unprecedented  opportunities  for  pro- 
motion, affords  but  few  instances  of  one  so  young  attaining  this 
distinction."  Appleton's  Cyclopedia  of  American  Biography 
says  of  him  :  "Frederick  Tremain,  soldier,  b.  in  Durham,  Green 
Co.,  N.  Y.,  in  June,  1843  ;  d.  near  Petersburg,  Va.,  6  Feb., 
1865,  entered  Hobart  in  i860  but  abandoned  his  studies  in  1862, 
and  entered  the  National  army.  He  was  appointed  adjutant  of 
the  7th  New  York  Heavy  Artillery,  served  in  the  defences  of 
Washington,  and  was  afterwards  made  Adjutant-General  with

250  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

"The  angel,  whose  summons  all  must  heed,  visited  one  of  our 
oldest  and  most  respected  citizens,  Israel  P.  Tremain,  on  Friday, 
Sept.  ist,  at  half-past  four  in  the  afternoon,  and  called  him  to  his 
rest.  So  gentle  and  quiet  was  the  summons  that,  surrounded  by  the 
comforts  and  love  of  his  home,  seated  in  his  favorite  chair,  the 
deceased  seemed  but  to  slumber  peaceful  and  calmly,  to  shortly 
awaken  ;  but  the  sleep  was  eternal. 

"Mr.  Tremain's  health  had  been  poor  for  the  past  two  years. 
He  had  known  his  days  on  earth  were  limited  and  had  often  spoken 
of  it,  and  had  truly 

"  'Sustained  and  soothed 
By  an  unfaltering  trust,  approached  his  grave.' 

"He  suffered  with  an  organic  disease  of  the  heart,  which  trouble 
for  the  past  few  months,  necessitated  his  being  very  quiet,  and  avoid- 
ing all  excitement. 

"On  the  day  of  his  death,  he  was  about  the  house  as  usual  and 
did  some  writing,  after  which  he  remarked  that  he  was  tired  and 
wished  to  rest.  He  sat  in  his  easy  rocking  chair  and  as  a  child  drops 
oif  to  slumber,  passed  away ;  spared  even  the  slightest  touch  of  pain. 

"Deceased  was  born  May  17th,  181 5,  in  Oak  Hill,  Durham 
Township,  Greene  Co.,  N.  Y.  From  his  boyhood  to  his  majority  he 
worked  in  his  father's  tannery  and  attended  school.  His  education 
was  begun  in  the  district  school  at  his  home  and  completed  at  the 
Durham  Academy. 

"The  scarcity  of  hemlock  bark  at  his  place  of  business,  necessi- 
tated a  change,  therefore  in  1836,  he  came  to  Monticello  and  went  to 
Tannersville,  south  of  Bridgeville,  where  his  brother  Edwin  Tremain. 
Gideon  Howard  and  himself,  purchased  the  large  tannery  of  Bush- 
nell  &  VanHorne. 

"In  August,  1839,  he  bought  out  his  brother's  interest  in  the 
tannery  and  was  thereby  a  two-thirds  owner  in  the  concern  which 
operated  under  the  name  of  Tremain  &  VanHorne.  This  firm  con- 
tinued business  until  1866,  when  they  closed  up,  as  the  hemlock  bark 
was  nearly  exhausted.  They  had  used  on  an  average  3,000  cords  of 
bark  per  annum  for  the  thirty  years  they  had  been  in  business,  or 
90,000  cords  in  all.  Mr.  Tremain  resided  at  Tannersville  from  1836 
until  1852,  when  he  removed  to  Monticello  where  he  lived  until  the 
time  of  his  death. 


Seventh   Generation.  251 

"The  Union  Bank  of  Sullivan  County,  was  established  in  the 
fall  and  winter  of  185 1  and  1852,  and  in  1863  it  was  reorganized  as 
the  National  Union  Bank.  Mr.  T.  was  a  director  in  the  bank  from 
1853  to  1884.  Mr.  Bennett  retired  from  active  duties  in  1863,  and 
left  the  bank  in  charge  of  Mr.  Tremain,  who  from  that  time  until 
1884,  when  he  resigned,  was  at  times  either  President  or  Cashier  of 
the  institution. 

"Since  1884,  Mr,  T.  has  Uved  a  quiet  and  uneventful  life,  attend- 
ing to  his  own  private  affairs,  taking  much  interest  in  his  garden  and 
home.  On  several  occasions  he  was  asked  to  accept  the  candidacy 
for  legislative  offices,  but  declined.  He  was  elected  Supervisor  over 
Captain  Hamilton  in  1854,  and  was  a  trustee  of  the  village  of  Monti- 
cello  in  1 89 1. 

"Mr.  Tremain  was  married  to  Miss  Harriet  Allen,  daughter  of 
Samuel  Seabury  Allen,  a  merchant,  and  Harriet  Flower,  and  aunt  of 
Gov.  Roswell  P.  Flower,  at  the  bride's  home  in  Oak  Hill,  January  ist, 
1840,  in  the  Episcopal  Church  at  that  place,  by  Rev.  E.  K.  Fowler,  of 
St.  John's  Church,  of  Monticello.  Rev.  Mr.  Fowler  was  taken  by 
Mr.  Tremain  from  this  village  to  Oak  Hill,  in  a  sleigh,  which  brought 
the  bride  and  groom  of  fifty-three  years  ago,  back  to  Monticello, 
where  the  honeymoon  was  spent. 

"A  warm  friendship  existed  between  the  minister  and  Mr.  Tre- 
main, which  gives  an  example  of  the  worth  of  the  first  rector  of  St. 
John's  Church.  Mr,  Tremain  was  en  route  to  Bridgeville  and  was 
very  sick,  Mr.  Fowler  noticed  him,  and  getting  in  the  stage  accompan- 
ied him  to  his  home,  and  lovingly  nursed  the  sick  man  through  a  danger- 
ous illness,  only  coming  to  Monticello  on  Sundays  to  preach  while  the 
sickness  lasted  ;  and  from  that  time  no  two  men  loved  each  other  better. 

"Mr.  and  Mrs.  Tremain  were  both  confirmed  in  St.  John's 
Church  in  1840.  Mr.  T.  was  a  vestryman  of  the  Church  from  1840 
to  1863,  and  a  warden  from  the  latter  date  until  1883,  when  he 
resigned,  as  the  new  stone  church  was  completed,  ready  for  occupancy 
and  fully  paid  for."

ment Association. 

The  following  interesting  letters  on  family  history  were  written 
by  him  : 

"Humboldt,  Iowa,  Feb.  24,  1893. 

"Dear  Sir — Yours  of  twenty-first  received.  I  regret  to  say  I 
am  unable  to  tell  you  much  about  the  Tremains.  My  father  said  but 
little  about  his  parents  or  grandparents,  largely,  I  think,  because  he 
was  left  to  provide  for  himself  at  about  ten  years  of  age.  We  came 
West  in  1845  and  while  1  had  then  seen  but  an  uncle  and  cousin, 
and  them  but  once,  I  never  again  saw  a  relative  of  my  father's.  My 
father,  Joseph  C.  Tremain  (the  middle  name  was  Collins),  was  born 
in  Massachusetts  about  1788;  losing  his  first  wife,  he  married  in 
Chautauqua  County,  N.  Y.,  Harriet  Turner — my  mother — her  father 
was  one  of  the  first  settlers  at  Fredonia.  One  son,  Ralph  J.  Tre- 
main, and  two  daughters,  by  my  father's  first  wife,  still  live.  I  am 
the  only  living  member  of  the  family  of  the  second  marriage.  My 
father  died  in  Iowa  in  1880,  my  mother  in  186 1, 

"My  father  early  spelled  the  name  Treman,  leaving  out  the  i. 
In  1845,  father's  brother,  Reuben  Tremain,  then  living  at  Rodman, 
Jefferson  County,  N.  Y.,  with  his  bachelor  son,  Geo.  C,  and  his  son 
Gaius  and  his  wife  visited  us  just  prior  to  our  starting  West.  I 
clearly  recall  incidents  of  that  meeting.  My  uncle  Reuben,  it  seemed 
to  me,  was  not  a  handsome  man,  but  as  I  heard  him  talk  and  discov- 
ered the  nobility  of  his  mind,  I  came  to  think  him  a  noble  looking 
man.  I  recall  a  discussion  of  my  uncle  and  father  as  to  the  correct 
way  of  spelling  the  name.  Uncle  for  Tremain,  father  for  Treman. 
Uncle  prevailed  and  ever  afterw^ards  father  spelled  it  Tremain.  Uncle 


256  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

Reuben  was  an  ardent  Presbyterian,  father  an  ardent  Universalist ; 
both  were  debaters  and  men  of  more  than  ordinary  abihty  and  Hking 
to  argue. 

"My  cousin,  George  C,  then  a  man  of  about  thirty-eight  to  forty, 
was  a  large,  fine  looking  bachelor.  A  five  dollar  gold  piece  he  tossed 
me,  a  boy  of  twelve,  saying,  'it's  because  you  (meaning  me)  are  called 
George,'  has  never  been  forgotten.  I  was  proud  to  bear  the  name  of 
so  fine  a  looking  man.  I  recall,  as  we  went  West  by  team,  our  visit 
in  Ohio  with  one,  Henry  Truman,  my  father's  half-brother, — he,  it 
seems,  had  without  any  authority  quietly  adopted  the  name  Truman — 
it  seemed  to  me  he  had  hit  on  the  best  name  of  the  three — Truman, 
Treman,  Tremain.  Since  then  and  up  to  1880  I  knew  a  son  of  his 
who  spelled  his  name  Truman,  so  it  would  seem  my  father's  attempt 
to  get  this  half-brother  to  adopt  the  Tremain  was  fruitless. 

"My  father  was  about  5  feet  10,  rather  stout  built,  a  great  reader, 
an  active  participant  in  every  current  event.  First  a  Democrat  and 
finally  a  Republican  ;  quite  a  lawyer,  or  as  we  would  now  say,  a  good 
backwoods  lawyer ;  an  ardent  temperance  man  and  a  fair  speaker. 
Money  getting  was  to  him  the  last  thing  to  consider.  G.  M.  Tre- 
main, of  Fredonia,  N.  Y.,  whom  I  have  visited,  has  much  of  the 
same  build  and  I  should  think  he  would  be  able  to  give  you  much 
information.  However,  I  think  he  writes  his  name  Tremaine.  There 
lived  until  recently  a  family  of  Tremains  in  Hamilton  Co.,  Iowa.  Ira 
Tremain,  the  father,  was  a  tall,  spare  man.  He  served  in  the  Iowa 
Legislature  and  was,  I  am  told,  an  excellent  man.  That  family  are 
now  living  on  the  Pacific  Coast. 

"I  was  born  in  Chautauqua  County,  N.  Y.,  June,  1833.  I  am  6 
foot  I,  and  weigh  210.  I  have  two  sons,  man  grown,  both  living 
here.  I  am  very  sorry  and  have  for  years  felt  the  regret  that  I  did 
not  know  more  about  the  family,  the  name  and  nativity  of  our  ances- 
tors, but  I  have  treasured  up  all  I  ever  learned,  and  my  regret  must 
be  not  that  I  forgot,  but  that  I  did  not  learn. 

"W.  H.  J.  Tremain,  of  Nora  Springs,  Iowa,  came  into  my  oftice 
this  morning  in  a  hurry.  I  know  nothing  of  his  family  history,  but 
he  thinks  we  must  be  akin  and  certainly  his  physique  bears  that  con- 
struction. I  am  very  much  interested  in  your  letter  and  hope  to  hear 
farther  from  you,  and  here  tender  you  my  services  in  anything  you 
think  I  can  do.  Yours  truly, 

"G.  L.  Tremain."

"Humboldt,  Iowa,  April  3,  1893. 

"Dear  Sir — On  my  return  home  find  yours  of  15th  ult.  and 
give  it  my  best  attention.  I  do  not  know  anything  of  my  father's 
half-brothers  or  their  famiUes.  One,  Silas  Truman,  did  a  few  years 
ago  live  at  Brush  Creek,  Iowa.  He  was  a  son  of  my  father's  half- 
brother,  one  that  called  himself  Truman.  As  I  recall  it,  Reuben  was 
my  father's  own  brother.  Henry  was  a  half-brother,  and  as  I  see 
them,  Reuben  and  my  father  had  a  strong  resemblance  while  Henry 
had  none  of  it. 

"I  do  not  often  see  W.  H.  J.  Tremain,  of  Nora  Springs.  Per- 
haps you  better  not  rely  on  me  for  news  of  him  or  his.  I  have 
recently  learned  that  Ira  Tremain  has  moved  into  Webster  City, 
Iowa.  He  has  a  son,  H.  H.,  living  at  Eagle  Grove,  Iowa,  a  mail 
agent  on  C.  &  N.  W.  R.  R. 

"G.  M.  Tremaine,  of  Fredonia,  N,  Y.,  would,  I  think,  be  able  to 
give  you  much  information.  I  have  met  him ;  he  has  the  earmarks 
of  our  tribe  and  is,  I  think,  a  good  man. 

"It  occurs  to  me  you  have  undertaken  a  big  job  ;  one  that  leads 
to  much  work,  no  little  annoyance,  much  delay  and  how  much  profit. 
I  conclude  you  have  a  taste  in  that  especial  direction,  and  work  more 
to  gratify  that  taste  with  little  other  reward. 

"When  you  think  I  can  be  of  service  to  you  command  me. 

"Yours, 

"G.  L.  Tremain."

"Dear  Sir — Answering  yours  of  January  26th.  Up  to  1845  ^Y 
father  wrote  his  name  Treman.  Then  at  the  instance  of  his  brother, 
Reuben  Tremain,  of  Jefferson  Co.,  N.  Y.,  he  added  the  i  and  ever 
afterwards  wrote  Tremain. 

"Reuben  Tremain  came  to  our  house  when  I  was  a  boy  of 
twelve  in  1845.  I  understand  uncle  Reuben  was  a  Presbyterian 
minister.  He  had  a  son  Gaius  and  a  son  George,  both  of  whom  I 
also  saw  in  1845. 

"There  is  now  living  at  Fredonia,  N.  Y.,  a  G.  M.  Tremaine,  a 
descendant  of  the  Jefferson  County  family  who  uses  an  e  at  end  of 
his  name.     There  is  living  at  Webster  City,  Iowa,  a  Doctor  Tremaine. 

"On  our  way  West  in   1845  we  called  on  a  half-brother  of  my

father's  at  or  near  Wooster,  Ohio.     He  spelled  his  name  Truman.     I 
can't  recall  his  given  name  but  a  son  of  his,  Silas  Truman,  now  lives 
at  Strawberry  Point,  Iowa. 

"I  have  never  been  able  to  understand  why  such  a  variety  of 
names  or  spellings  came  about.  I  followed  my  father  closely  and 
since  1845  ^^^^  stuck  to  Tremain.  My  full  name  is  George  Lafay-

to  the  friends  of  the  young  man  and  sorely  bereaved  family.  For  the 
past  two  weeks  the  deceased  has  been  ill  with  fever,  but  at  no  time 
was  his  condition  considered  '  dangerous  or  critical,  until  yesterday 
morning,  when  the  fever  took  a  sudden  change,  and  he  sank  rapidly, 
passing  away  about  four  o'clock,  surrounded  by  the  beloved  ones 
who  had  done  all  that  was  possible  in  human  skill  to  save  him.  The 
deceased,  who  was  the  son  of  Hon.  J.  C.  Truman,  of  this  city,  was 
one  of  the  most  honorable,  manly  and  popular  young  gentlemen  of 
the  city,  and  was  beloved  and  respected  by  the  wide  circle  of  admir- 
ing friends  and  acquaintances.  He  filled  the  responsible  and  trusted 
position  of  money-order  clerk  under  Postmaster  Hull,  and  was  one  of 
his  most  trusted  associates.  He  was  twenty-two  years  of  age,  and 
leaves  a  wife  and  little  daughter,  besides  his  parents,  to  mourn  his 
untimely  demise."

lives  of  a  woman  and  another  man.  The  Owego  Gazette  gave 
the  following  account  of  the  accident  and  tribute  to  his  mem- 
ory :  '  'Two  of  Owego's  best  known  society  men  lost  their  lives  last 
evening.  Frank  T.  Stanbrough  and  Alva  S.  Odell  were  bathing 
in  the  Susquehanna  river  with  two  girls,  one  of  whom  they  were 
trying  to  teach  to  swim.  Getting  into  deep  water  Odell  lost 
control  of  the  young  woman  and  called  to  Stanbrough  to  come 
to  his  assistance.  In  the  struggle  all  three  went  down,  but  the 
girl  was  rescued  by  Superintendent  Ditmar,  of  the  Owego  Gas 
Company,  who  was  out  in  a  rowboat.  She  was  unconscious 
but  soon  revived.  When  Stanbrough  and  Odell  were  finally 
pulled  out  of  the  water  there  was  little  evidence  of  life.  Haifa 
dozen  physicians  worked  over  them  on  the  river  bank  for  an 
hour,  but  with  no  success.  The  men  were  among  the  best 
known  society  people  in  town.  Stanbrough  is  the  younger  son 
of  Dr.  J.  B.  Stanbrough.  He  was  about  thirty-five  years  old 
and  was  one  of  the  heirs  of  the  large  Truman  estate.  Both  of 
the  young  men  were  very  popular  and  held  in  high  esteem  in 
this  village.  When  the  news  of  the  terrible  calamity  spread 
over  the  village  the  river  bank  was  crowded  with  the  friends  of 
the  dead  men,  who  hoped  the  doctors  would  be  successful  in 
restoring  them  to  consciousness  and  who  deeply  sympathize 
with  the  members  of  the  bereaved  families.  Mr.  Stanbrough 
was  bookkeeper  at  his  father's  stove  and  plumbing  store  in 
Front  street.  He  was  a  member  of  Defiance  Hook  and  Ladder 
Company,  No.  5,  and  also  a  member  of  Sasana  Loft  Tribe,

ber of  the  Republican  League  of  Buffalo  and  was  editor  of  its  organ. 
The  Opinion,  for  one  year.  , 

"  Men  of  New  York  "  says  of  him  : 

"William  H.  Hotchkiss,  though  still  a  young  man,  even  if  the 
term  be  narrowly  interpreted,  has  already  made  a  name  for  himself, 
and  accomplished  much  good  in  a  field  of  usefulness  cultivated  too 
little  by  men  of  his  standing  and  capacity.  He  is  a  type  of  the  young 
professional  men,  of  liberal  education  and  well-developed  talent,  who 
interest  themselves  in  public  affairs  for  the  public  good.  He  was 
prepared  for  college  at  GHdden's  Classical  School  in  Jamestown, 
N.  Y.,  going  from  there  to  Hamilton  College,  where  he  graduated  at 
the  age  of  twenty-two  with  the  degree  of  A.B.  He  secured  the  much 
coveted  Phi  Beta  Kappa  Key,  besides  honors  in  literature,  oratory, 
debating,  Greek,  Latin  and  mathematics,  and  delivered  the  Head 
prize  oration  and  Latin  salutatory.  Three  years  after  his  graduation, 
his  college  conferred  on  him  the  degree  of  A.M. 

"Law  was  the  profession  that  Mr.  Hotchkiss  had  chosen  for 
himself,  and  with  a  view  to  obtaining  a  practical  knowledge  of  legal 
procedure  as  early  as  possible,  he  accepted,  after  completing  his 
college  course,  the  appointment  of  clerk  of  the  Surrogate's  Court  of 


274  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

Cayuga  County,  at  Auburn,  N.  Y.  The  surrogate  at  that  time  was 
John  D.  Teller,  whose  name  became  familiar  throughout  the  State  by 
his  candidacy  for  judge  of  the  Court  of  Appeals  on  the  Democratic 
ticket  in  1895.  Mr.  Hotchkiss  served  as  clerk  two  years,  1887-9. 
Meantime,  in  1888,  he  was  admitted  to  the  Bar.  Judge  Teller  took 
him  into  partnership,  and  he  practiced  at  Auburn,  in  the  firm  of 
Teller  &  Hotchkiss,  till  1891.  He  then  moved  to  the  larger  field  of 
Buffalo,  where  he  entered  into  partnership  with  E.  L.  Parker,  and 
where  he  has  since  pursued  his  profession.  The  firm  of  Parker  & 
Hotchkiss  has  risen  rapidly  in  both  influence  and  volume  of  business, 
and  now  ranks  among  the  leading  commercial  and  banking  law  firms 
of  Buffalo.  Mr.  Hotchkiss  is  a  lecturer  on  the  law  of  personal 
property  in  the  Buffalo  Law  School. 

"The  great  problems  of  municipal  government,  so  long  neglected 
in  American  cities,  were  just  beginning  to  receive  serious  public 
attention  when  Mr.  Hotchkiss  began  the  real  work  of  his  manhood. 
To  the  study  of  these  problems  he  addressed  himself  with  the  energy 
of  youth,  the  earnestness  of  strong  convictions,  and  an  honest  desire 
to  serve  right  purposes.  He  has  contributed  articles  frequently  to 
the  Review  of  Reviews,  Munsey's,  Outing  and  the  Buffalo  Illustrated 
Express,  his  range  of  subject  including  travel  as  well  as  municipal 
problems.  In  the  latter  field,  however,  he  has  become  recognized  as 
an  authority.  He  wrote  a  pamphlet  monograph  on  Urban  Self  Gov- 
ernment in  1892,  and  has  since  delivered  numerous  lectures  on  that 
and  kindred  subjects.  His  interest  in  politics  has  been  in  the  line  of 
promoting  ideas,  rather  than  in  the  actual  work  of  machines.  He 
took  an  active  part  in  exposing  the  ballot  frauds  in  Buffalo  in  1892, 
and  has  served  as  Secretary  of  the  Committee  on  law  and  legislation 
of  the  Buffalo  Citizens'  Association  for  three  years.  He  is  also  an 
active  member  of  the  Buffalo  Republican  League,  having  served  two 
years  on  the  executive  committee,  and  one  year  as  editor  of  its  organ. 
The  Opinion.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Chi  Psi  college  fraternity,  and 
served  as  editor-in-chief  of  its  magazine,  Purple  and  Gold,  from  1886 
to  1890.  He  belongs,  also,  to  the  Sons  of  the  American  Revolution, 
the  Buffalo  Club,  the  Liberal  Club,  the  Independent  Club,  and  the 
New  York  State  Bar  Association.  Especially  worthy  of  mention  is 
his  work  in  connection  with  the  drafting  of  the  reform  charter  of 
Buffalo."

"  Landmarks  of  Tompkins  County  "  says  of  him  : 

"As  a  boy  his  ambition  was  to  secure  a  good  education,  and 
after  exhausting  the  resources  of  the  district  schools  he  became  a 
student  of  the  Ithaca  High  School.  The  year  of  his  majority  he 
taught  school  in  the  town  of  Ulysses,  and  in  1883  he  entered  the 
State  Normal  School  at  Cortland,  after  which  he  became  the  principal 
of  the  Jacksonville  school,  where  he  remained  for  five  successive 
terms.  It  was  his  intention  to  follow  teaching  as  a  profession,  but 
the  study  of  law  was  too  strong  an  attraction  for  him  to  resist,  and  in 
1887  he  came  to  Ithaca,  and  the  following  three  years  we  find  him  in 
the  law  office  of  M.  N.  Tompkins,  Esq.  He  then  spent  a  year  in  the 
office  of  Jared  T.  Newman,  Esq.,  and  then  became  law  clerk  in  the

of  the  2nd  New  York  fire  zouaves.  During  the  peninsular  campaign 
he  was  on  Gen.  Daniel  E.  Sickles'  staff,  and  was  in  the  battles  of 
Williamsburg,  Fair  Oaks  and  Malvern  Hill.  He  was  then  transferred 
to  Gen.  John  Pope's  army,  and  engaged  at  Bristow  Station  and  the 
second  battle  of  Bull  Run,  where  he  was  captured  while  endeavoring 
to  check  a  temporary  panic  and  the  rapid  advance  of  the  enemy. 
After  several  months'  confinement  in  Libby  prison  he  was  exchanged, 
resumed  duty  on  Gen.  Sickles'  staff  as  assistant  inspector-general 
and  was  present  at  Fredericksburg  and  Chancellorsville,  where  he 
served  as  an  aide  to  Gen.  Joseph  Hooker.  Meanwhile,  on  25  April, 
1863,  he  had  been  commissioned  major,  and  was  chief  staff  officer  to 
Gen.  Sickles  at  the  battle  of  Gettysburg.  He  was  on  Gen.  Daniel 
Butterfield's  staff  at  Chattanooga,  and  took  part  in  the  battles  of 
Dalton  and  Resaca.  In  1864  he  was  ordered  to  the  Army  of  the 
Potomac  and  served  successively  on  the  staffs  of  Gen.  David  M. 
Gregg  and  Gen.  George  Crook,  participating  in  the  cavalry  battles 
under  these  officers,  until  the  surrender  of  the  Army  of  Northern 
Virginia.  He  was  brevetted  brigadier-general  of  volunteers  on  30 
Nov.,  1865,  and  continued  on  duty  in  the  Carolinas  until  his  discharge 
on  29  April,  1866.  Gen.  Tremain  then  resumed  his  law  studies  and 
was  graduated  in  1867,  after  which  he  entered  into  practice,  forming

in  1868  the  firm  of  Tremain'&  Tyler.  From  1870  till  1885  he  was 
usually  retained  either  by  or  against  the  government  in  its  legal  con- 
troversies in  New  York,  and  he  was  connected  with  the  Marie-Garri- 
son litigation  involving  the  title  to  the  Missouri  Pacific  railroad.  He 
has  been  active  as  a  Republican  in  political  canvasses,  and  for  five 
terms,  beginning  in  187 1,  he  has  been  president  of  the  associate 
alumni  of  the  College  of  the  City  of  New  York.  On  19  April,  1887, 
he  was  elected  colonel  of  the  veterans  of  the  7th  Regiment,  the  oldest 
organization  of  its  kind  in  this  country.  His  campaign  notes  of 
'Last  Hours  of  Sheridan's  Cavalry,'  were  edited  by  John  Watts  de 
Peyster  (1885)."

282  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

At  the  time  of  his  death  an  Albany  newspaper  said  : 

"Perhaps  there  has  never  been  more  general  regret  expressed 
and  felt  in  this  city,  than  over  the  early  death  of  Grenville  Tremain. 
Handsome  in  person,  gifted  in  intellect,  possessed  of  high  powers  of 
eloquence,  he  was  the  beau  ideal  of  the  young  advocate,  and  exhibited 
powers  that  would  have  placed  him  yet  higher  than  in  the  high 
rank  of  the  profession  that  he  illustrated  and  adorned.  At  such  a 
time  as  this,  it  is  not  so  much  the  genius  of  the  man  or  his  ability, 
the  strength  or  grasp  or  shrewdness  of  his  intellect,  that  recurs  to 
the  minds  of  his  friends — these  things  but  increase  the  already  in- 
tense sense  of  loss  by  magnifying  its  greatness — but  those  attributes 
of  the  deceased  that,  while  they  add  a  new  pang,  sweeten  the  bitter- 
ness of  the  calamity,  are  his  perfect  manliness,  his  truthfulness,  his 
high,  clear  sense  of  honor,  his  love  of  the  true  and  right.  No  one 
can  recall  in  all  the  activity  of  his  life  a  cruel  or  an  unkind  word,  a 
slur  or  innuendo,  or  an  insinuation  that  would  tend  to  throw  even  a 
shadow  upon  a  rival  reputation  or  wound  the  tenderest  sensibilities. 
He  had  all  the  strength  of  the  strongest  man  with  the  sweetest 
sensibilities  of  the  most  delicate  woman.  There  was  about  him  a 
freshness  and  naturalness  from  which  the  roughest  contact  never 
took  the  bloom.  In  all  his  legal  and  forensic  contests  he  was  never 
accused  of  taking  an  undue  advantage  or  of  delivering  an  unfair 
blow.  He  was  the  Bayard  of  the  profession,  without  fear  and  with- 
out reproach.  He  was  a  patriot  not  only  from  cool  judgment,  but 
with  the  warm  enthusiasm  that  loved  his  country  even  as  his  mother, 
and  as  his  elder  brother  gave  his  life  for  fatherland  so  Grenville 
would  have  been  ready  to  have  sacrificed  his  had  his  country  called  ; 
to  him  patriotism  was  a  belief,  and  a  sentiment. that  is  stronger  some- 
times than  a  belief;  all  this  crystallized  into  the  golden  sentences 
dropped  by  his  silver  tongue  in  the  matchless  oration  pronounced 
by  him  at  the  laying  of  the  corner  stone  of  the  Williams  monument, 
when  the  great  concourse  gathered  there  declared  that  never  did 
Webster  give  birth  to  more  fitting  discourse — for  the  audience  were 
moved  by  the  manly  beauty  and  entranced  by  the  noble  eloquence  of 
the  orator.  This  effort  was  perhaps  the  most  complete,  scholarly, 
and  rhetorical  of  the  many  speeches  of  his  busy  life. 

"To  the  advantages  that  Mr.  Tremain  possessed  in  person  and 
voice  and  intellect,  he  added  an  untiring  industry  that  was  undoubt-

edly  the  cause  of  his  death.  Possessed  of  so  fine  a  physique,  he 
never  seemed  to  think  that  the  keen  blade  could  wear  out  the  strong- 
est scabbard  ;  he  gave  himself  no  rest ;  night  and  day  he  labored  at  his 
professional  duties ;  and  when  in  his  last  hours  his  mind  wandered  it 
wandered  into  those  professional  paths  where  had  been  won  his  early 
garlands  and  his  youthful  fame.  Nominated  by  a  great  party  for 
the  high  office  of  attorney-general  ;  nominated  without  hint  or  asking 
from  himself,  his  nomination  was  received  by  his  own  party  with 
glad  acclaim  ;  and  hundreds  of  the  opposite  party,  those  who  knew 
him,  marked  their  appreciation  of  his  honesty,  his  ability,  and  his 
fitness  for  the  place,  by  giving  him  the  votes  that  carried  him  ahead 
of  his  fellows  on  the  same  ticket.  He  leaves  to  his  family,  to  his 
widow  and  his  children,  the  proud,  the  blessed  memory  and  inheri- 
tance of  a  name  kept  unstained  and  unsullied  through  the  fierce 
turmoil  of  professional  and  political  contests,  and  a  faith  as  clear 
and  simple  and  as  honest  as  that  of  a  little  child, — one  of  those  who 
shall  always  see  the  face  of  the  Father,  for  of  such  is  the  kingdom  of 
heaven." 

Another  Albany  paper  said  : 

"It  is  with  sorrow  unfeigned  and  deep,  that  we  announce  to  our 
readers  this  morning  the  death  of  Mr.  Grenville  Tremain,  which 
event  occurred  at  his  residence  in  this  city  yesterday  afternoon  about 
two  o'clock,  after  a  brief  illness.  He  was  the  son  of  Hon.  Lyman 
and  Mrs.  Helen  Tremain,  and  he  inherited  many  of  the  talents  of 
his  most  distinguished  father.  He  was  born  in  the  little  village  of 
Durham,  Greene  county,  on  the  19th  day  of  April,  1845,  and  was 
consequently  in  the  thirty-third  year  of  his  age.  At  an  early  period 
of  his  life,  his  father  removed  from  Durham  to  this  city,  and  entered 
into  partnership  with  his  old  friend,  the  late  Judge  Peckham.  Gren- 
ville was  the  second  son,  his  brother  the  late  Lieut. -Col.  Frederick 
Tremain,  who  was  killed  in  the  last  year  of  the  war,  being  his  senior 
by  two  or  three  years.  Young  Grenville  was  educated  at  the  school 
of  Dr.  Reed,  in  Geneva  in  this  State,  and  from  that  institution  en- 
tered Union  College,  where  he  graduated  with  high  honors.  He 
then  entered  as  a  student  the  law  office  of  Peckham  &  Tremain,  and 
also  attended  the  Albany  Law  school  and  graduated  from  that  insti- 
tution ;  and  then  further  pursued   his  studies  in  the  office,   until  in 


284  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

1867  he  became  a  partner  in  the  firm  of  Peckham  &  Tremain,  and 
from  that  day  until  the  day  of  his  death  he  was  an  active  and  useful 
member  of  that  firm.  Mr.  Tremain  early  displayed  at  the  bar  the 
qualities  of  an  able,  learned,  eloquent  and  accomplished  lawyer.  He 
entered  at  once  into  the  litigations  with  which  his  firm  was  connect- 
ed, and  scarcely  a  case  was  tried  by  either  member  of  the  firm  at 
Albany,  that  was  not  prepared  by  him,  and  that  did  not  receive  the 
benefit  of  his  indefatigable  industry  and  painstaking  research.  He 
very  early  received  the  confidence  of  his  clients,  and  he  was  soon 
engaged  as  attorney  and  counsel  in  many  important  litigations.  He 
had  the  entire  respect  and  confidence  of  the  bench,  and  no  judge 
ever  listened  to  Mr.  Tremain's  statement  of  the  facts  of  a  case  with- 
out an  entire  trust  in  the  substantial  accuracy  thereof. 

"When  Mr.  Judson  was  elected  Mayor,  no  other  name  than  that 
of  Mr.  Tremain  was  thought  of  for  the  important  and  laborious  posi- 
tion of  Corporation  Counsel,  and  from  that  day  to  the  time  of  his 
death  it  can  be  truly  said  that  he  knew  not  a  leisure  moment.  No 
one  who  has  not  occupied  that  office  is  aware  of  the  engrossing 
nature  of  its  duties  when  properly  performed,  and  no  one  of  his 
able  predecessors  ever  brought  to  the  discharge  of  the  duties  of  that 
office  a  more  conscientious  determination  to  discharge  them  fully 
and  properly  than  did  Mr.  Tremain.  No  department  of  the  city 
government  hesitated  to  call  upon  him  for  advice  and  assistance  at 
all  times,  and  no  city  official  ever  left  him  withouf  being  satisfied 
that  he  had  received  from  Mr.  Tremain  the  counsel  which  he  de- 
sired, and  which  resulted  from  a  most  painstaking  and  exhaustive 
examination  of  the  subject  submitted  to  him.  When  his  term  of 
office  expired,  he  kept  on  in  the  discharge  of  his  professional  duties 
without  rest,  recreation  or  interruption. 

"The  delicate  health  of  his  father  at  this  time  left  the  firm  to 
grapple  with  something  of  a  large  practice,  and  Mr.  Tremain  took 
his  full  share  of  the  labor  and  responsibility  of  active  professional 
life.  Last  year  about  this  time,  upon  the  failure  of  certain  insurance 
companies  in  New  York,  and  the  appointment  of  a  receiver  for  them, 
he  was  retained  as  counsel  for  such  receiver,  and  from  that  time  on 
he  was  busy,  literally,  night  and  day.  The  business  called  him  fre- 
quently to  New  York,  and  he  shrank  from  no  labor  that  the  human 
frame  could  endure,  in  order  to  faithfully  and   ably  discharge  the 


Eighth   Generation.  285 

duties  of  the  high  trust  that  had  been  committed  to  his  care.  And 
It  was  melancholy  in  his  last  illness,  when  the  hand  of  death  was  on 
him,  and  his  mind  wandering,  to  hear  from  his  incoherent  speech, 
how  firmly  his  thoughts  were  fixed  upon  the  discharge  of  his  profes- 
sional labors. 

"Last  fall,  at  the  Republican  Rochester  Convention,  without 
the  suspicion  of  a  request  from  him  to  any  man,  unsought  and 
wholly  unsolicited,  the  high  honor  and  compliment  of  a  nomination, 
by  acclamation,  for  the  office  of  Attorney  General  of  the  State,  was 
accorded  to  this  young  man,  then  standing  in  the  very  front  rank  of 
his  profession  among  the  younger  members  of  the  bar.  Though 
suffering  the  fate  of  his  ticket,  it  was  most  gratifying  to  him  and  his. 
friends  to  see  the  way  in  which  he  was  appreciated  by  those  in  whose- 
midst  he  had  grown  up  and  passed  the  whole  of  his  professional  life.. 
His  vote  in  Albany  county  was  many  hundreds  greater  than  that  re- 
ceived by  the  rest  of  his  ticket. 

"Thus  he  stood  but  yesterday,  as  brilliant  and  eminent  a  lawyer 
as  any  one  of  his  age  throughout  the  length  and  breadth  of  the  State. 
To-day  he  is  at  rest. 

"To  those  who  knew  Mr.  Tremain  socially,  his  loss  will  be 
irreparable.  There  was  a  manliness  in  his  carriage,  a  frankness  and 
tenderness  of  character  about  him,  that  charmed  with  the  irresistible 
force  of  a  pure,  generous  and  loving  heart.  He  leaves  a  wife  and 
five  small  children,  and  he  died  on  the  birthday  of  his  only  son,  who 
is,  alas !  too  young  to  feel  the  loss  of  as  generous,  loving  and  tender 
a  father  as  son  ever  had. 

"He  rests  from  his  labors,  and  may  he  rest  in  peace.  His 
stricken  family  have  the  profound  sympathy  of  this  community  in 
this  their  hour  of  dire  distress,  and  there  is  no  heart  but  goes  out  in 
pity  for  the  sorrow  which  this  terrible  calamity  brings  upon  his  suf- 
fering father." 

Another  Albany  paper  said  : 

"The  sad  announcement  in  our  last  edition  of  yesterday — com- 
ing as  it  did  without  a  warning  to  any  save  a  very  few  of  the  nearest 
friends — conveyed  a  shock  to  this  entire  community,  and  carried  a 
deep  sense  of  personal  loss  to  many  hearts.  There  is  something 
peculiarly  touching  in  the  sudden  death  of  a  young  man  of  robust 


286  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

torm  and  bright  promise  at  the  very  threshold  of  a  brilUant  career. 
When  a  man  of  long  years  and  wide  fame  passes  away,  a  deeper 
impress  may  be  left ;  but  in  the  loss  there  is  also  a  feeling  that  his 
opportunity  has  been  given  and  his  mission  well  advanced,  perhaps 
altogether  accomplished.  But  when  one  of  rich  talents  and  noble 
character  and  honorable  ambition  is  cut  down  in  the  very  dawn  of 
youth,  just  as  the  full  radiance  of  his  promise  was  throwing  its  light 
over  the  pathway  of  his  shining  future,  it  adds  the  sorrow  and  the 
pathos  of  an  opportunity  denied  and  a  work  unfulfilled.  It  is  like 
the  blight  of  winter  falling  upon  the  early  glory  of  summer. 

"Grenville  Tremain  was  only  in  his  thirty-third  year.  The  sec- 
ond son  of  Lyman  Tremain,  he  inherited  much  of  the  ability  and 
many  of  the  characteristics  of  his  honored  father.  Trained  at 
Geneva,  graduating  at  Union  in  1866,  and  next  winning  the  diploma 
of  the  Albany  Law  school,  he  engaged  at  once  with  ardor  and  en- 
thusiasm in  the  profession  whose  severe  tests  and  worthy  prizes 
stimulated  the  highest  impulses  of  his  nature.  He  joined  the  firm  to 
which  two  of  the  most  eminent  members  of  the  Bar  had  given  dis- 
tinction, and  both  the  names  of  Peckham  and  Tremain  were  well 
sustained  by  those  who  inherited  them.  Young  Tremain  leaped  im- 
mediately to  the  front.  He  had  great  aptitude  and  admirable  quali- 
fications for  his  profession.  He  loved  the  science  of  the  law  and 
faithfully  mastered  its  principles.  His  mind  was  acute,  penetrating, 
fertile  in  resources  and  ready  in  action.  With  these  fine  intellectual 
attributes  he  united  rare  gifts  of  speech.  He  was  fluent,  graceful 
and  forcible  ;  his  bearing  was  dignified  and  impressive  while  at  the 
same  time  winning  and  unassuming  ;  and  the  sense  of  honor,  candor 
and  truth  which  stamped  all  that  he  said  and  did,  added  the  weight 
of  character  to  the  force  and  logic.  Indeed,  he  combined  in  an  un- 
usual degree  the  qualities  which  adorn  and  strengthen  his  profession 
and  mark  the  possessor  for  sure  distinction. 

•  "With  this  excellent  equipment  of  natural  gifts  and  acquired 
accomplishments,  Mr.  Tremain  achieved  immediate  success.  He  pre- 
pared many  important  cases  and  participated  prominently  in  their 
trial.  So  early  and  unmistakably  had  his  abilities  been  shown,  that 
when  Mayor  Judson  appointed  him  Corporation  Counsel,  the  fitness 
of  the  selection  was  universally  recognized.  His  administration 
fully  vindicated  the   public    confidence.     He  reduced  expenditures. 


Eighth    Generation.  287 

took  the  work  on  his  own  shoulders,  cut  off  extra  counsel,  success- 
fully defended  the  city  in  many  suits  and  effected  a  large  public 
saving.  Throughout  his  service  he  was  impelled  by  a  deep  and  con- 
scientious sense  of  public  duty,  and  when  he  retired  it  was  with  the 
sincere  and  cordial  respect  of  all  his  fellow-citizens.  Less  than  ten 
years  at  the  bar,  he  had  yet  acquired  such  a  standing  that  the  Re- 
publican State  Convention  last  fall  unanimously  presented  him  for 
the  high  office  of  Attorney  General — a  very  marked  tribute  to  so 
young  a  lawyer.  During  the  progress  of  that  canvass  these  columns 
contained  a  statement  of  some  of  the  more  important  work  which  he 
had  done  in  the  law,  and  it  was  a  record  which  few  men  of  his  years 
could  equal.  Though  devoted  chiefly  to  his  profession,  Mr.  Tre- 
main's  sympathies  and  activities  were  not  confined  to  it.  He  felt  a 
warm  interest  in  the  higher  range  of  politics  and  public  questions, 
and  was  a  favorite  on  the  political  rostrum.  Occasionally  he  turned 
aside  from  the  exacting  demands  of  law  to  woo  the  muse  of  literature. 
Perhaps  his  most  notable  address  of  this  character  was  that  which 
he  delivered  at  Schoharie  on  the  dedication  .of  the  monument  to  one 
of  the  captors  of  Major  Andre — an  address  which  attracted  wide  at- 
tention. 

"Mr.  Tremain  united  the  highest  personal  attractions  with  in- 
tellectual grace  and  moral  strength.  There  was  manly  beauty  in  his 
form  and  manly  virtue  in  his  character.  He  was  clean,  pure,  gener- 
ous and  ardent.  No  unworthy  instincts  debased  the  moral  symmetry 
of  his  being.  His  manner  was  kindly  and  sincere  ;  his  words  were 
gentle  and  persuasive  ;  his  whole  individuality  won  the  honor  and 
esteem  of  all  who  knew  him.  He  had  a  frankness  and  nobility  of 
character  with  which  only  honorable  aspirations  could  be  associated. 
And  with  it  all  there  was  so  much  vitality,  so  much  of  virile  life  and 
strength,  that  he  seemed  the  very  picture  of  ideal  manhood.  How 
closely  the  blow  strikes  to  those  who  were  identified  with  him  and 
counted  him  among  themselves  !  We  can  hardly  realize  that  he  is 
gone — gone  in  the  very  flush  of  early  life — gone  within  the  few  days 
since  his  hand  was  grasped.  Always  thinking  of  him  as  he  stood 
before  us,  we  may  say  of  him  as  Mr.  Curtis  said  of  another  who  also 
in  the  morning  of  life  'moved  forward,'  and  who  was  not  unlike  our 
departed  in  stainless  beauty  of  character  and  vigorous  buoyancy  of 
manhood — the  brilliant  Theodore  Winthrop  :  'Such  was  the  electric 


288  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

vitality  of  this  friend  of  ours  that  those  of  us  who  followed  him  could 
only  think  of  him  as  approving  the  funeral  pageant,  not  the  object  of 
it.  We  did  not  think  of  him  as  dead.  We  never  shall.  In  the 
bright  spring  morning,  'he  was  alert,  alive,  immortal.'  " 

Another  Albany  paper  said  : 

"A  sad  and  most  painful  duty  has  devolved  upon  the  editor  of 
this  journal, — that  of  recording  the  death  of  Grenville  Tremain,  which 
occurred  in  this  city  yesterday  afternoon  about  three  o'clock.  It  was 
only  so  recently  that  he  was  about,  apparently  in  full  and  vigorous 
health,  attending  to  his  professional  duties,  and  there  were  so  few  of 
his  acquaintances  and  friends  aware  of  the  fact  that  he  was  ill  at  all, 
that  the  announcement  of  his  death  causes  an  unusual  shock,  and 
falls  with  crushing  weight  upon  those  who  knew,  admired  and  loved 
him.  Just  at  the  opening  of  what  promised  to  be  a  useful  and  per- 
haps even  a  great  career,  Grenville  Tremain  has  been  called  away,  to 
plead  before  a  higher  tribunal  than  any  in  which  his  voice  was  accus- 
tomed to  be  heard.  In  the  full  vigor  of  robust  manhood,  with  the 
most  brilliant  prospects  opening  up  before  him,  with  everything  in 
life  to  live  for,  the  grave  beckoned  to  him,  and  with  his  form  closes 
in  the  noble  aspirations  and  ambitions  of  a  manly  and  generous 
nature,  shrouds  more  than  one  household  in  gloom,  and  leaves  a  large 
circle  of  friends  to  shed  tears  that  are  idle  because  they  cannot  call 
him  back. 

"Mr.  Tremain  was  born  in  this  city  in  1845,  ^^^  would  have 
been  thirty-three  years  of  age  if  he  had  lived  till  next  month.  He 
was  the  second  son  of  the  Honorable  Lyman  Tremain,  and  early 
gave  promise  of  the  talents  which  he  developed  later  in  life.  He  was 
graduated  from  Union  College  in  1866,  and  from  the  Albany  Law 
School  a  year  later,  subsequently  to  which  he  passed  a  rigid  exam- 
ination before  a  committee  appointed  by  the  Supreme  Court,  and  was 
admitted  to  practice  as  an  Attorney  and  Counsellor-at-Law.  The  old 
and  well  known  law  firm  of  Peckham  &  Tremain,  which  had  for  years 
consisted  of  Judge  Rufus  W.  Peckham  and  Lyman  Tremain,  was 
continued  after  the  retirement  of  the  former  from  active  practice,  the 
new  firm  consisting  of  Rufus  W.  Peckham,  Jr.,  and  Grenville  Tre- 
main, with  whom  Hon.  Lyman  Tremain  was  associated  as  counsel. 
It  speedily  became  one  of  the  prominent  legal  firms  of  the  city,  and, 


Eighth   Generation.  289 

indeed,  of  this  part  of  the  State.  Grenville  Tremain  took  naturally 
to  the  profession  of  the  law.  He  had  been  properly  trained  for  it. 
He  possessed  a  logical  mind,  and  that  was  sustained  and  reinforced 
by  a  remarkably  acute  and  accurate  memory.  He  did  not  forget 
things  that  he  had  once  learned,  and  his  capacity  for  learning  was 
far  above  the  average.  Withal  he  was  a  pleasing  and  graceful 
speaker,  a  ready  and  courteous  debater,  and  a  thorough  gentleman  in 
his  professional  as  well  as  in  his  private  life.  There  are  some  law- 
yers who  are  gentlemen  in  their  domestic  and  social  relations,  but  not 
in  their  professional  life.     Grenville  Tremain  was  not  one  of  these. 

"Possessing  these  qualities,  and  besides  them  a  thorough  knowl- 
edge of  the  law,  a  most  hearty  and  kindly  manner,  and  a  warm  and 
generous  disposition,  it  is  no  wonder  that  Mr.  Tremain  should  have 
made  rapid  advances-  in  his  profession,  and  in  the  confidence  and 
esteem  of  his  fellow  citizens.  It  is  not  saying  too  much  to  remark 
that,  at  the  time  of  his  death,  no  man  of  his  years  in  the  city  of  Albany 
had  more  brilliant  or  more  apparently  certain  prospects  of  a  useful 
and  distinguished  career. 

"Mr.  Tremain,  while  by  no  means  an  office-seeker — which, 
indeed,  he  could  not  afford  to  be — nevertheless  always  took  a  lively 
interest  in  politics  and  political  affairs.  He  was  a  thorough  going 
Republican,  and  for  that  party  had  done  much  effective  service  as  a 
speaker  in  several  important  campaigns.  He  was  a  forcible  and  at 
the  same  time  pleasant  and  popular  speaker,  and  the  announcement 
of  his  name  was  always  certain  to  draw  a  crowd.  Under  the  admin- 
istration of  Mayor  Judson,  Mr.  Tremain  served  with  great  accepta- 
bility as  Corporation  Counsel  of  this  city,  and  last  fall  he  received  the 
unanimous  nomination  of  the  Republican  State  Convention  for  the 
honorable  and  responsible  office  of  Attorney  General  of  the  State. 
Perhaps  we  could  not  speak  more  eloquently  of  his  popularity  among 
his  friends  and  neighbors  than  by  recalling  the  fact  that  in  this  county, 
which  is  supposed  to  have  a  legitimate  Democratic  majority  of  2,500, 
Mr.  Tremain  last  year  received  a  majority  of  600, 

"In  all  our  municipal  affairs,  and  in  everything  pertaining  to  the 
interests  of  our  city,  Mr.  Tremain  was  deeply  interested.  He  was  an 
active  member,  an  officer  in  and  one  year  President  of  the  Young 
Men's  Association.     We  believe  he  was  a  life  member  of  that  body. 

"Mr.  Tremain  was  married  several  years  ago  to  Miss  Martin,  of 


2go  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

Auburn.     His  wife,  and  an  interesting  family  of  five  young  children, 

survive  him. 

"The  writer  of  this  article  had  for  some  years  been  the  associate 
and  intimate  personal  and  political  friend  of  the  deceased.  Having 
known  him  so  well,  he  feels  justified  in  saying  that  a  truer  friend,  a 
more  generous-hearted  gentleman,  a  more  faithful  man  in  the  dis- 
charge of  trusts  committed  to  his  care,  never  lived.  Such  a  man 
must  have  made  his  mark,  had  his  life  been  spared  a  few  years. 
Indeed,  he  had  already  made  it ;  but  in  a  few  years  more  it  would 
have  been  carved  deeper  and  broader.  The  death  of  such  a  promis- 
ing man  is  not  to  be  considered  a  personal  affliction  alone.  It  is  a 
public  loss  as  well.  Our  friend  has  been  called  away,  not,  indeed, 
full  of  years,  nor  even  yet  of  honors ;  but  honored,  and  loved  and 
mourned  as  one  whom  we  knew  to  be  faithful  and  true." 

Another  Albany  paper  said  : 

"The  announcement  of  the  death  of  Grenville  Tremain,  at  three 
o'clock  yesterday  afternoon,  was  a  painful  surprise  to  the  citizens  of 
Albany,  and  will  be  received  with  regret  by  the  public  generally.  No 
young  man  in  this  city  was  more  widely  known  or  universally  re- 
spected for  his  brilliant  talents  and  spotless  character ;  and  certainly 
no  member  of  the  Bar  in  this  State  had  a  more  promising  future. 
His  professional  achievements  had  already  won  for  him  an  enviable 
reputation  as  a  lawyer  ;  while  his  oratorical  powers,  his  acute  reason- 
ing faculties,  his  familiarity  with  public  questions,  his  persuasive 
eloquence,  and  magnetic  personal  qualities  fitted  him  for  political 
leadership,  and  justified  the  expectations  of  his  friends  that  he  would 
become  eminent  in  public  life.  These  expectations  were  suddenly 
crushed  by  the  hand  of  death ;  and  the  sorrow  of  his  hosts  of  friends 
is  the  deeper  because  the  blow  was  so  unexpected.  Most  of  them 
were  unaware  that  he  was  ill ;  for  up  to  a  week  ago  he  was  in  the 
active  discharge  of  his  professional  duties,  in  the  apparent  enjoyment 
of  vigorous  health.  Indeed  it  was  only  within  a  day  or  two  that  his 
disease,  typhoid  fever,  exhibited  any  alarming  symptoms. 

"Mr.  Tremain  was  a  graduate  of  Union  College,  and  subse- 
quently of  the  Albany  Law  School.  He  became  a  partner  in  the 
distinguished  law  firm  of  Peckham  &  Tremain  in  1865  ;  corporation 
counsel    under    the    administration   of    Mayor   Judson,  and   last   fall

received  the  Republican  nomination  for  attorney-general  of  the  State. 
'•The  deceased  was  a  son  of  Hon.  Lyman  Tremain,  who,  we 
regret  to  learn,  is  lying  seriously  ill  at  his  residence  in  this  city.  He 
leaves  a  wife  and  five  children.  To  the  afflicted  family  such  a 
bereavement  as  this  can  be  assuaged  only  by  the  consolations  of 
religion,  and  the  reflection  that  he  has  been  called  to  higher  rewards 
than  this  life  affords  ;  but  it  may  be  some  gratification  to  know  that 
the  sympathy  of  the  whole  community  is  extended  to  them  in  their 
overwhelming  sorrow."

The  following  interesting  letter  on  family  history  was  written  by 
him  : 

"Fredonia,  N.  Y.,  Feb.  18,  1901. 
"M.  E.  Poole,  Esq.: 

"Dear  Sir^ — Your  favor  of  22nd  ult.  was  received.  I  made 
inquiry  of  Mary  Ward,  of  Naysance,  Ont.,  only  surviving  child  of 
Reuben  Tremaine.  She  says  his  father's  name  was  Solomon  ;  that 
he  lived  in  Oneida  County,  N.  Y.  His  children  were  Reuben  and 
Joseph,  sons  by  his  first  wife,  name  unknown  to  me  ;  and  Henry, 
Benjamin,  Squire,  Polly  and  Dolly,  children  by  his  second  wife,  whose 
maiden  name  was  Collins.  It  is  stated  that  Solomon,  the  father, 
died  at  Watson,  Lewis  County,  N.  Y.  Reuben  Tremaine  married 
Laura  Gridley.  Their  children  were  David,  George  C,  Gaius,  Asahel, 
sons,  and  Harriet,  who  married  John  Merrill,  Mary,  who  married 
John  Ward,  Laura,  who  married  Virgil  Mathew,  first  husband,  Buell 
Fox,  second  husband,  and  Sophia,  who  married  Clark  Near, 

"Reuben  Tremaine  lived  for  the  greater  part  of  his  life  in  Rod- 
man, Jefferson  County,  N.  Y.,  but  passed  his  last  days  and  died  in 
Sandy  Creek,  N.  Y.     He  was  an  active  compatriot  with  Revs.  Finney, 


Eighth   Generation.  295 

Knapp,  and  more  particularly  with  Rev.  Jedediah  Burchard  in  their 
forays  upon  the  'hosts  of  Satan,'  holding  'protracted  meetings'  in 
northern  New  York.  Reuben  was  most  generally  known  by  his  title 
of  Deacon,  but  was  ordained  a  minister  of  the  Congregational  church. 
As  a  preacher  he  would  hardly  be  compared  with  his  compatriots, 
but  in  prayer  and  singing  he  was  very  effective.  I  can  in  my  mind 
hear  him  render,  'When  I  can  read  my  title  clear  to  mansions  in  the 
skies'  even  now.  But  he  departed  from  this  life  in  1866  and  his 
chance  of  reaching  his  inheritance  in  the  aforesaid  mansions  was  as 
good  as  that  of  any  one  I  ever  knew.  His  son  David  died  many 
years  ago  in  Wisconsin.  George  C.  was  never  married  and  he  died 
in  Naysance,  Ont.  Gains  married  Mary  Ann  Sawyer ;  her  name 
appears  in  the  book  of  the  Sawyer  family.  She  made  the  first  prayer 
in  the  'Crusade,'  and  was  an  earnest  worker  in  religious  and  temper- 
ance affairs.  She  also  has  her  present  residence  in  one  of  those 
'mansions'.  Gains  passed  most  of  his  life  in  the  town  of  Rodman, 
Jefferson  Co.,  N.  Y.,  where  he  served  several  terms  as  supervisor. 
He  removed  to  Fredonia,  N.  Y.,  in  1864,  and  died  in  1869.  Gains' 
sons  were  George  R.  and  Gains  M.,  daughters,  Pamelia  S.,  Mary  A., 
Emily  J.,  Harriet  N.,  Helen  M.,  Grace  E.  and  Lucy  H.  George  R. 
and  Harriet  N.  have  died.  The  sons  of  George  R.  are  Charles  and 
Edward,  who  live  in  Pennsylvania.  Gains  M.  (myself)  has  one  son, 
Gaius  M.,  Jr.,  and  one  daughter,  Anne  M.,  a  graduate  of  Cornell 
University  and  of  the  Women's  Medical  College  of  New  York  City, 
and  now  has  a  position  in  'Craige  Colony'  at  Sonyea,  N.  Y.  She  has 
also  been  connected  with  the  Board  of  Regents  at  Albany,  N.  Y, 
Gaius  M.,  Jr.,  is  the  present  Supervisor  of  the  town  of  Pomfret,  being 
where  Fredonia  is  located.  He  has  one  son,  Gaius  M.,  the  3d. 
Asahel,  the  son  of  Reuben,  had  one  son,  William,  who  lives  at  Sandy 
Creek,  N.  Y. 

"Referring  to  the  foregoing,  I  would  say  that  I  think  the  recol- 
lection of  my  aunt,  Mary  Ward,  is  dimmed  by  the  years,  reaching 
about  ninety.  She  makes  no  mention  of  a  Gaius  who  was  an  uncle 
or  great-uncle  of  my  father  and  was  a  soldier  in  the  Regular  Army 
of  the  U.  S.  I  also  think  Reuben  was  born  in  Connecticut  and  that 
it  is  so  stated  on  his  tombstone  at  Sandy  Creek,  N.  Y.  There  was  a 
Solomon  Tremaine  in  Rodman  from  whom  'Tremaine's  Corners' 
took  its  name.     He  was  a  relative  of  Reuben  and  had  a  son,  Tomp-

kins    Tremaine,    and    Warren    Tremaine ;  the    last   I  think  lives  in 
Cleveland,  Ohio.     Joseph  Tremaine,  brother  of  Reuben,  lived  many 
years  at  Laona,  N.  Y.,  close  by  Fredonia,  and  was  for  a  considerable 
period  a  justice  of  the  peace  and  known  widely  as  Squire  Treman. 
It  is  too  bad  that  he  should  not  have  known  how  to  properly   spell 
his  own  name.     The  family  are  from  the   County  of  Cornwall,   En- 
gland, where  there  is  a  manor  held  by  the  family.     A  book  of  heraldry 
published  in  England  shows  the  name ;  it  was  'Tremayne'.     But  to 
return  to  the  subject.     The  sons  of  Joseph  were  Ralph  and  George 
L.  and  perhaps  others.     George  L.  is  a  banker  at  Humboldt,  Iowa, 
and  an  inquiry  made  to  him   might  supply  other   information  of  the 
family  beside  that  of  his  own  father.     Dr.  William  S.  Tremaine,  a 
surgeon  noted  in  this  region,  has  died  since  I  wrote  before.     He  used 
the  final  'e'  in  the  last  years  of  his  life  as  his  surviving  family  do  now. 
I  supplied  the  information   which  caused  the  correction.     Now  this 
has   been   written   in  a  crude  way  and  I  think  if  the  matter  is  not 
urgent  in  the  way  of  time  I  could  dig  up  some  more.     A  few  years 
ago  I  could  have  obtained  much  more  information,  but  the  sources 
from  which  I  could  have  obtained  it  are  no  more  available.     In  your 
work  you  have  my  best  wishes.     Get  as  near  to  the  flood  as  you  can, 
but  as  I  never  heard  of  the  name  of  Noah  in  the  family   records,  I 
conclude  that  the  mists  of  the  ages  have  obscured  it  or  else  the  Tre- 
maine family  had  a  boat  of  their  own.     Of  traditions  which  might 
have  referred  to  that  occasion,  I  have  only  the  recollection  of  a  men- 
tion of  wet  seasons  when  there  was  a  poor  outlook  for  the  corn  crop. 
I  should  be  glad  to  hear  from  you  again,  and  if  I   can  supply   any 
other  material  for  your  work  will  do  so.

ADDITIONS  AND  CORRECTIONS. 

8000.  Joseph  Truman,  i.  ("Early  Generations  of  the  Brew- 
ster Family"  in  New  England  Hist.  Gen.,  Reg.,  vol.  53,  1899,  gives 
the  following  information :  "William  Brewster,  father  of  Elder  Will- 
iam Brewster,  was  appointed  by  Archbishop  Sandys,  in  Jan.  1575-6, 
receiver  of  Scrooby  and  bailiff  of  the  manor  house  in  that  place 
belonging  to  the  Archbishop,  to  have  life  tenure  of  both  offices. 
Elder  William  Brewster,  his  son,  matriculated  at  Peterhouse,  Cam- 
bridge, Dec.  3,  1580,  but  it  does  not  appear  that  he  remained  there 
long  enough  to  take  his  degree.  The  name  of  Elder  Brewster's  wife 
was  Mary.  Her  maiden  name  has  not  yet  been  discovered.  She 
d.  April  17,  1627,  at  Plymouth,  New  England.  Jonathan  Brewster, 
son  of  Elder  William  Brewster,  married,  April  10,  1624,  Lucretia 
Oldham,  of  Darby.  Their  daughter  Ruth  was  born  Oct.  3,  1631,  at 
Jones  River.  She  married,  March  14,  1651,  John  Picket,  of  New 
London.     She  died  May  i,  1677.     He  d.  Aug.  16,  1667.") 

Caulkins'  History  of  New  London,  Conn.,  says : 

"Jonathan  Brewster,  died  in  1661. 

"No  probate  papers  relating  to  his  estate  have  been  found  ;  but 
bills  of  sale  are  recorded,  dated  in  1658,  conveying  all  his  property 
in  the  town  plot,  and  his  house  and  land  at  Poquetannuck,  with  his 
movables,  cattle  and  swine — 'to-wit  4  oxen,  12  cows,  8  yearlings  and 
20  swine,'  to  his  son,  Benjamin  Brewster,  and  his  son-in-law  John 
Picket.  Feb.  14th,  166 1-2,  Mr.  Picket  relinquishes  his  interest  in 
the  assignment  to  his  brother-in-law,  stipulating  only  'that  my  mother- 
in-law,  Mrs.  Brewster,  the  late  wife  of  my  father,  Mr.  Jonathan 
Brewster,  shall  have  a  full  and  competent  means  out  of  his  estate 


Appendix   I.  307 

during  her  life,  from  the  said  B.  B.  at  her  own  dispose  freely  and 
fully  to  command  at  her  own  pleasure.' 

"The  same  trustees,  Brewster  and  Picket,  also  conveyed  certain 
lands  to  their  sisters,  Grace  and  Hannah,  but  in  the  settlement  of 
the  estate,  no  allusion  is  made  to  other  children. 

"Mrs.  Lucretia  Brewster,  the  wife  of  Jonathan,  was  evidently  a 
woman  of  note  and  respectability  among  her  compeers.  She  has 
always  the  prefix  of  honor  (Mrs.  or  Mistress)  and  is  usually  presented 
to  view  in  some  useful  capacity — an  attendant  upon  the  sick  and 
dying  as  nurse,  doctress  or  midwife — or  a  witness  to  wills  and  other 
important  transactions.  She  was  one  of  the  first  band  of  pilgrims 
that  arrived  at  Plymouth  in  the  Mayflower,  December,  1620,  being 
a  member  of  the  family  of  her  father-in-law,  elder  William  Brewster, 
and  having  one  child,  William,  with  her.  Her  husband  came  over 
in  the  Fortune,  which  arrived  Nov.  loth,   1621. 

"Jonathan  Brewster  settled  first  in  Duxbury  and  was  several 
times  representative  from  that  place.  Subsequently  he  engaged  in 
the  coasting  trade,  and  was  master  and  probably  owner  of  a  small 
vessel  plying  from  Plymouth  along  the  coast  to  Virginia.  In  this 
way  he  became  acquainted  with  Pequot  Harbor,  and  entered  the 
river  to  trade  with  the  natives.  In  the  spring  of  1649  we  find  him 
overwhelmed  with  pecuniary  disasters.  Mr.  Williams,  of  Providence, 
gives  this  notice  of  his  misfortunes  to  Mr.  Winthrop  : 

"  'Sir  (though  Mr.  Brewster  write  me  not  a  word  of  it)  yet  in 
private  I  am  bold  to  tell  you  that  I  hear  it  hath  pleased  God  greatly 
to  afflict  him  in  the  thorns  of  this  life.  He  was  intended  for  Vir- 
ginia, his  creditors  in  the  Bay  came  to  Portsmouth  and  unhung  his 
rudder,  carried  him  to  the  Bay  where  he  was  forced  to  make  over 
house,  land,  cattle  and  part  with  all  to  his  chest.  Oh  how  sweet  is  a 
dry  morsel  and  aa  handful,  with  quietness  from  earth  and  heaven.' 

"At  the  time  of  this  misfortune,  Mr.  Brewster  was  purposing  a 
change  of  residence  and  probably  removed  to  Mr.  Winthrop's  planta- 
tion as  soon  as  he  could  arrange  his  affairs  with  his  creditors.  He 
was  'Clarke  of  the  Towne  of  Pequitt'  in  Sept.,  1649.  ^^^^  of  his 
family  came  with  hrni ;  but  several  children  remained  behind.  He 
had  two  sons,  William  and  Jonathan,  on  the  military  roll  in  Duxbury, 
in  1643;  ^^^  latter  only  sixteen  years  of  age.  William  was  in  the 
Narragansett  war  of  1645,  after  which  his  name  is  not  found  on  the 


o

old  colony  records.  Jonathan  disappears  from  Duxbury  about  1649, 
and  it  may  be  assumed  that  these  two  sons  died  without  issue.  Two 
daughters  are  traced  in  the  old  colony — Lucretia  mentioned  at  the 
early  date  of  1627,  and  Mary,  who  married  John  Turner,  of  Scituate. 
"At  New  London  we  find  one  son  and  four  daughters.  Benja- 
min married,  1659,  Anna  Dart,  and  settled  at  Brewster's  Neck,  on 
the  farm  of  his  father.  Elizabeth  married,  first,  Peter  Bradley, 
and  second,  Christopher  Christophers.  She  was  aged  forty-two  in 
1680.  Ruth  married  John  Picket,  probably  about  1652.  Grace 
married,  August  4th,  1659,  Daniel  Wetherell.  Hannah  married, 
Dec.  25th,  1664,  Samuel  Starr.  She  was  aged  thirty-seven  in  1680. 
Ezekiel  Turner,  a  grandson  of  Mr.  Brewster,  from  Scituate,  settled  in 
New  London,  about  the  year  1675." 

"John  Picket,  died  August  i6th,  1667. 

"It  is  much  to  be  regretted  that  a  full  record  of  the  early  mar- 
riages, which  were  undoubtedly  by  Mr.  Winthrop,  was  not  preserved. 
The  marriage  of  John  Picket  and  Ruth  Brewster  belongs  to  the 
unrecorded  list.  Their  children  were  :  i .  Mary,  who  married  Ben- 
jamin Shapley.  2.  Ruth  who  married  Mr.  Moses  Noyes,  tirst 
minister  of  Lyme.  3.  William,  who  died  about  1690.  4.  John, 
born  July  25th,  1656.  5.  Adam,  born  Nov.  15th,  1658.  6.  Mercy, 
born  January  i6th,  1 660-1.     Married  Samuel  Fosdick. 

"Mr.  Picket's  estate  was  appraised  at  ^1,140.  This  was  suffi- 
cient to  rank  him,  at  that  period,  as  one  of  the  wealthiest  merchants 
of  the  place. 

"Ruth,  relict  of  John  Picket,  married,  July  i8th,  1668,  Charles 
Hill. 

"The  three  sons  of  Mr.  Picket  died  young,  and  at  sea;  two  of 
them,  and  perhaps  all,  in  the  island  of  Barbadoes.  John  and  William 
were  unmarried. 

"Adam  Pickett  married  May  i6th,  1680,  Hannah,  daughter  of 
Daniel  Wetherell.  He  died  in  1691,  leaving  two  sons:  Adam,  born 
in  1681  ;  John,  in  1685.  The  former  died  in  1709,  without  issue,  so 
that  the  family  genealogy  recommences  with  a  unit. 

"The  Picket  house-lot,  at  the  southwestern  extremity  of  the 
bank,  descended  nearly  integral  to  the  fourth  John  Picket,  among 
whose  children  it  was  divided,  and  sold  by  them  in  small  house  plots, 
between  1740  and  1750.     Brewer  Street  was  opened  on  the  western 


Appendix    I.

border  of  this  lot  in  1745,  and  at  first  called  Picket  Street.  John 
Picket,  the  fifth  of  the  name,  removed  from  New  London,  and  with 
him,  the  male  branch  of  the  family  passed  away  from  the  place. 
Descendants  may  be  traced  in  the  line  of  Peter  Latimer,  whose  wife 
was  Hannah  Picket,  and  of  Richard  Christophers,  who  married  Mary 
Picket,  daughters  of  John  Picket  the  fourth." 

"Benjamin  Shapley,  died  Aug.  3d,  1706. 

"Benjamin,  son  of  Nicholas  Shapleigh  of  Boston,  was  born, 
according  to  Farmer's  Register,  in  1645.  ^^  fi"d  no  difficulty  in 
appropriating  this  birth  to  Benjamin  Shapley,  mariner,  who  about 
1670  became  an  inhabitant  of  New  London.  The  facts  which  have 
been  gathered  respecting  this  family  are  as  follows  : 

"Benjamin,  son  of  Nicholas  Shapley,  of  Charlestown,  married 
Mary,  daughter  of  John  Picket,  April  loth,  1672.  Children:  i. 
Ruth,  b.  Dec.  24th,  1672.  Married  John  Morgan  of  Groton.  2. 
Benjamin,  b.  March  20th,  1675.  Married  Ruth,  daughter  of  Thomas 
Dymond.  3.  Mary,  b.  March  26th,  1677.  Married  Joseph  Tru- 
man. 4.  Joseph,  b.  Aug.  15th,  1681.  Died  young.  5.  Ann,  b. 
Aug.  31st,  1685.  Married  Thomas  Avery  of  Groton.  6.  Daniel, 
b.  Feb.  14th,  1689-90.  Married  Abigail  Pierson  of  Killingworth.  7. 
Jane,  b.  1696.  Married  Joshua  Appleton.  8.  Adam,  b.  1698. 
Died  young. 

"Mary,  relict  of  Benjamin  Shapley,  died  Jan.  15th,  1734-5. 
The  Shapley  house-lot  was  on  Main  Street,  next  north  of  the  Christo- 
phers lot,  and  was  originally  laid  out  to  Kempo  Sybada,  a  Dutch 
captain.  Shapley  Street  was  opened  through  it  in  1746.  Captain 
Adam  Shapley,  who  received  his  death  wound  at  Fort  Griswold,  in 
1 78 1,  was  a  descendant  of  Daniel  Shapley." 

8020.  Joseph  Truman.  34.  Caulkins'  History  of  New  Lon- 
don, Conn.,  says  : 

"Hallam.  John  and  Nicholas  Hallam  were  the  sons  of  Mrs. 
Alice  Liveen,  by  a  former  marriage,  and  probably  born  in  Barbadoes 
— John  in  1661,  and  Nicholas  in  1664.  John  married  Prudence, 
daughter  of  Amos  Richardson,  in  1682,  and  fixed  his  residence  in 
Stpnington,  where  he  died  in  1790.  His  possessions  were  large;  a 
thousand  acres  of  land  were  leased  to  him  in  perpetuity  by  John 
Richardson  of  Newbury  in  1692  'for  the  consideration  of  five  shillings 


3IO  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

and  an  annual  rent  of  one  pepper-corn ;'  and  his  inventory  gives 
evidence  of  a  style  of  dress  and  housekeeping,  more  expensive  and 
showy  than  was  common  in  those  days.  It  contains  silver  plate, 
mantle  and  coat  of  broadcloth.,  lined  with  silk,  'seventeen  horse  kind,' 
four  negro  servants,  &c. 

"Nicholas  Hallam  married  Sarah,  daughter  of  Alexander  Pygan, 
July  8,  1686.  Children:  i.  Alexander,  born  Oct.  22,  1688.  2. 
Edward,  born  April  25,  1693.  Married  Grace  Denison.  3.  Sarah, 
born  March  29,  1695.  Married  Joseph  Merrills.  (Mrs.  Sarah  Hal- 
lam died  in  the  year  1700.)  Nicholas  Hallam  was  married  Jan.  2, 
1 700-1  to  widow  Elizabeth  Meades  whose  maiden  name  was  Gulliver, 
in  Bromley  church,  on  the  backside  of  Bow  without  Stepney  church, 
in  London,  Old  England.  Their  daughter  Elizabeth  was  born  in  the 
parish  of  St.  John  Wapping,  near  Wapping  New  Stairs,  in  London 
Feb.  22,  1701-2.  Married  Samuel  Latimer.  5.  Mary,  born  in  New 
London,  Oct.  11,  1705.  Married  Nathaniel  Hempstead  and  Joseph 
Truman,     6.     John,  born  Aug.  3,  1708.     Married  Mary  Johnson. 

"Mr.  Hallam's  gravestone  states  that  he  died  Sept.  i8th,  17 14, 
at  the  age  of  forty-nine  years,  five  months  and  twenty-nine  days.  His 
wife  survived  him  twenty-one  years. 

"At  this  period,  many  families  in  town  owned  slaves,  for  domestic 
service  ;  some  but  one,  others  two  or  three  ;  very  few  more  than  four. 
The  inventory  of  Nicholas  Hallam  comprises  'a  negro  man  named 
Lonnon,'  valued  at  ;^3o;  his  wife  disposes  of  her  'negro  woman 
Flora  and  girl  Judith.'  Among  the  family  effects  are  articles  that 
were  probably  brought  from  England,  when  Hallam  returned  with  his 
English  wife  in  1703 — such  as  a  clock  and  secretary.  Mrs.  Hallam 
bequeaths  to  one  of  her  daughters  a  diamond  ring,  and  a  chest  made 
of  Bermuda  cedar ;  to  another  'the  hair-trunk  I  brought  from  London, 
and  my  gold  chaine  necklace  containing  seven  chaines  and  a  locket.' 

"Alexander  Hallam  died  abroad.  The  will  of  his  father  con- 
tains a  bequest  to  him  'if  he  be  living  and  return  home  within  twenty 
years.'  In  1720  his  inventory  was  presented  for  probate  with  the 
label,  supposed  to  be  dead.  Edward  Hallam  was  town-clerk  from 
December,  1720,  to  his  death  in  1736."

born  in  Ireland  in  1721.  Was  six  years  old  when  his  father  came  to 
America.  Settled  in  Bennington,  Vermont.  Was  very  prominent  in 
New  Hampshire  grants  dispute,  taking  side  with  New  Hampshire. 
He  was  a  member  of  the  Provincial  Congress  in  1775,  and  was  sent 
to  England  by  the  settlers  on  a  mission  to  the  King  for  redress  of 
grievances.  Was  chosen  on  account  of  his  courtly  manners  and  fine 
bearing.  Refused  to  bear  arms  against  the  King,  in  the  Revolution, 
though  he  did  not  take  any  active  part  against  the  movement.  He 
was  expelled  from  the  state,  with  his  son-in-law,  John  McNeil,  but 
was  allowed  to  return,  and  died  in  Bennington.  Mary,  daughter  of 
the  above,  married  John  McNeil,  of  Charlotte,  Vermont. 

McNeil.  The  McNeils,  along  with  other  Scotch  clans,  were 
sent  to  the  north  of  Ireland  to  act  as  a  buffer  against  the  wild  Irish. 
After  several  generations,  some  of  them  came  to  this  country ;  among 
them,  Captain  Archibald  McNeil,  in  about  1729.  He  came  in  his 
own  ship,  with  a  chest  of  gold  at  the  mast. ,  His  wife  was  Lady 
Sarah  Johnson,  from  Antrim,  Ireland.  They  were  ship-wrecked — 
some  say  on  the  coast  of  Nova  Scotia,  others  on  Massachusetts  Bay, 
The  former  is  probably  correct.  Captain  McNeil  went  to  Brantford, 
Connecticut,  and  from  there  to  Litchfield  in  about  1740.  He  served 
in  the  British  Army  as  captain  of  a  Connecticut  company,  during  the 
French  and  Indian  War  (1756  to  1763).  He  went  with  the  British 
Army  to  Ticonderoga,  and  also  to  Havana  when  that  was  besieged 
by  the  British.  Date  of  death  unknown.  His  son,  John  McNeil, 
was  born  in  1740  and  died  in  18 13.  Married  Mary  Breckenridge 
and  settled  in  Tinmouth  before  the  Revolution.  When  Burgoyne 
made  his  invasion  of  New  York,  John  McNeil  asked  for  the  protec- 
tion of  the  British  Army.  For  this,  he  was  called  a  Tory  by  a  cer- 
tain faction,  and  his  lands  confiscated  and  seized  by  Ira  Allen,  brother 
of  Ethan  Allen.  There  is  no  evidence  that  he  was  a  Tory,  other 
than  the  above.  He  then  moved  to  Charlotte,  Vermont,  where  he 
was  elected  as  Town  Clerk,  Representative,  was  Judge  of  Probate 
Court,  Judge  of  County  Court  and  was  delegate  to  both  Constitu- 
tional Conventions  of  1791  and  1793.  He  is  spoken  of  in  the  records 
as  General  McNeil ;  but  there  is  no  known  reason  for  the  use  of  this 
title.  His  daughter,  Mary,  was  born  August  30,  17S0,  and  married  • 
Ezra  Meech.  Note  :  John  McNeil  had  a  son,  David,  B.  McNeil,  w^ho 
was  very  prominent  in  the  affairs  of  northern  New  York.     He  held

the  commission  as  General,  and  was  at  the  battle  of  Plattsburg.     He 
was  a  brother  of  the  above  mentioned  Mary  McNeil. 

Meech.  Henry  Wallbridge,  and  brothers,  William  and  Stephen, 
from  Dorsetshire,  England,  fought  with  the  Duke  of  Monmouth  in 
his  rebellion  against  James  II.,  and  after  the  defeat  at  Edgmore 
(1685),  fled  to  America.  They  first  settled  at  Dedham,  Massachu- 
setts, then  fled  to  Preston,  Connecticut,  near  Norwich.  Stephen 
changed  his  name  to  Meech,  taking  his  mother's  maiden  name. 
Daniel  Meech,  son  of  Stephen,  married  Amy  Wilcox,  a  woman  of 
extraordinary  beauty.  Elisha  Meech,  son  of  Daniel,  emigrated  to 
Hinesburgh,  Vermont,  in  1785.  Married  Faith  Satterly  and  had 
five  sons.  Ezra  Meech,  son  of  Elisha,  was  born  in  Connecticut,  in 
1773,  and  married  Mary  McNeil  in  1800.)

famous  tract  "The  Faithful  Steward".  He  removed  to  Middlefield, 
Mass.,  in  1776.  Selectman,  1783-4;  1787-8.  Representative, 
1811-12. 

Professor  William  S.  Tyler's  History  of  Amherst  College  says  of 
him  : 

"Col.  David  Mack  was  a  truly  Christian  patriarch  who  left  to  his 
numerous  descendants  and  to  society  the  fragrant  memory  of  a  life 
of  ninety-four  years  consecrated  to  piety  and  usefulness — was  the 
subject  of  that  well-known  and  highly  instructive  tract,  entitled  'The 
Faithful  Steward'.  No  one  could  see  him  for  once  and  converse 
with  him  on  the  most  casual  subject  without  feeling  that  he  was  a 
genuine  descendant  and  representative  of  the  Pilgrim  Fathers  of  New 
England..  And  those  who  knew  him  most  intimately,  knew  that  he 
was  just  what  he  seemed,  a  living  impersonation  of  their  characteristic 
virtues.     Gen.  Mack  himself  was  the  worthy  son  of  that  worthy  sire." 

The  following  is  taken  from  the  tract  entitled,  "Col.  David  Mack, 
the  Faithful  Steward". 

"He  was  of  Puritan  descent ;  his  ancestors  were  noble  ones,  for 
the  blood  of  the  Pilgrims  ran  in  their  veins  and  the  love  of  the  Pil- 
grims' God  burned  in  their  hearts. 


358  History  of  the  Mack  Family. 

"Col.  Mack  and  his  wife  had  each  fifteen  brothers  and  sisters  ; 
and  Jabez  EUis  his  maternal  uncle,  lived  till  he  was  one  hundred 
years  and  forty  days  old,  and  was  connected  with  his  wife  in  marriage 
seventy-six  years. 

"In  those  days,  family  government  had  not  changed  hands ; 
children  were  subject  to  their  parents.  But  not  so  all;  there  were 
some  who,  like  the  sons  of  Eli,  made  themselves  vile  and  were  not 
restrained  ;  and  it  was  among  such,  that  Col.  Mack  was  situated  in 
his  youth.  But  his  parents  prevented  him  from  running  to  the  same 
excess  of  riot. 

"They  absolutely  debarred  him  from  attending  the  fairs,  horse 
races,  dances  and  other  amusements  in  which  his  neighbors  freely 
indulged. 

"And  when  David — feeling  as  he  did,  that  this  separating  him 
from  all  associates,  was  unreasonable  and  unjust — ventured  to  remon- 
strate with  his  father,  as  they  were  together  in  the  field,  the  reply  of 
the  good  man  was,  'My  son,  I  do  this  to  save  you  from  ruin  ;  for 
mark  me,  those  young  men  will  assuredly  come  to  a  bad  end.'  This 
prophetic  speech  was  sadly  and  literally  fulfilled ;  three  of  them 
expiated  their  crimes  on  the  gallows,  others  were  sent  to  the  state 
prison,  and  all  came  to  a  lamentable  and  disgraceful  end. 

"Not  so  with  him  who  was  trained  in  the  way  he  should  go,  and 
did  not  depart  from  it  when  he  was  old.  He  honored  his  father  and 
mother,  and  his  days  were  long  in  the  land,  which  the  Lord  gave 
him  ;  and  that  too,  notwithstanding  imminent  exposure  to  death. 

"As  he  removed  his  family  from  Hebron  to  Middlefield,  in 
crossing  the  river  at  Norwich,  the  unexpectedly  high  water  swept 
them  rapidly  down  the  current,  to  the  point  of  being  carried  over  the 
dam  ;  when  looking  for  death,  and  the  spectators  giving  them  up  for 
lost,  Providence,  at  the  moment  of  despair,  ordered  a  way  for  their 
escape  safe  to  land. 

"Afterwards,  as  he  was  hunting  in  the  deep  snow  in  pursuit  of  a 
large  deer,  the  animal  suddenly  turned  on  him,  pressed  its  antlers 
against  his  breast,  and  set  its  fore  feet  on  both  his  snowshoes,  holding 
him  fast ;  and  thus  crippled,  it  was  with  difficulty  that  he  got  in  hand 
his  hunting-knife,  and  with  his  utmost  remaining  strength,  drew  it 
across  the  deer's  throat,  when  the  animal  struck  him  with  the  hind 
foot  a  terrible  blow  upon  one  of  his  temples,  which  completely  stunned 


Fourth   Generation.  359 

and  almost  killed  him.  As  near  as  he  could  judge,  he  lay  senseless 
about  an  hour.  On  recovering,  his  first  thought  was,  'I  am  dead  !' 
but  rising  up,  he  found  that  the  deer  was  dead  and  lying  prostrate  at 
his  feet. 

"Thus  was  he  delivered  out  of  his  distresses,  that  he  might  serve 
his  generation  by  the  will  of  God,  and  that  God  might  fulfill  the 
promise  of  long  life  to  one  who  honored  his  parents,  not  only  while 
they  lived,  but  long  after  they  had  departed  this  life.  And  not  only 
did  Colonel  Mack  honor  his  parents  'he  rose  up  before  the  hoary 
head,  and  honored  the  face  of  the  old  man'.  While  yet  a  youth,  an 
aged  man  of  choleric  temper  had,  from  some  unknown  cause,  con- 
tracted towards  him  a  strong  dislike.  Meeting  him  one  day,  Mr. 
Mack  saluted  him  respectfully,  but  received  only  the  unkind  reply, 
'Don't  speak  to  me.'  'I  shall  speak  to  you,'  said  he,  'for  I  have 
always  been  accustomed  to  respect  age,  and  I  always  intend  to  do  it.' 
This  changed  his  churlishness  towards  him  ever  after  into  civility  ; 
thus  exemplifying  the  truth  that,  'a  soft  answer  turneth  away  wrath'. 
It  may  be  remarked  that  this  respect  for  his  parents  and  the  aged 
was  a  result  of  parental  fidelity. 

"The  son,  thus  faithfully  dealt  with,  was  in  his  turn  faithful  in 
all  his  house.  He,  too,  ruled  well,  having  his  children  in  subjection. 
'My  father,'  says  one  of  them,  'excelled  in  government.  He  never 
inflicted  punishment  without  fully  setting  forth  the  criminality  of  the 
offense  and  its  evil  consequences,  calmly  and  coolly,  without  excite- 
ment or  passion  ;  but  he  did  not  desist  till  there  was  a  perfect  yield- 
ing, a  full  confession  and  promise  of  amendment ;  and  would  often 
add,  'It  is  because  I  love  you  that  I  punish.' 

"  'We  were,'  he  continues,  'kept  in  on  the  Sabbath,  and  taught 
the  catechism  and  had  other  religious  instruction,  which  he  faithfully 
imparted.  He  never  allowed  his  children  to  be  absent  in  the  even- 
ing without  his  permission,  and  he  required  their  return  by  nine 
o'clock.  And  not  only  did  he  command  his  children  but  his  house- 
hold. He  had  for  several  years  twenty  or  more  in  his  family  in  the 
summer,  and  in  the  most  hurrying  time  of  business  he  insisted  that 
all  under  his  care  should  be  present  at  family  devotions,  and  attend 
public  worship  on  the  Sabbath.  If  a  hired  man  persisted  in  using 
profane  language  he  dismissed  him.' 

"Such  fidelity  in  the  stewardship  God  crowned  with  his  blessing. 


360  History  of  the  Mack  Family. 

He  gave  him  thirteen  children,  three  sons  and  ten  daughters,  all  of 
whom  lived  to  be  married,  and  twelve  of  them  became  members  of 
the  church  of  Christ.  They  are  honored  of  God  and  their  country, 
and  their  children  in  their  turn  are  rising  up  and  calling  them  blessed. 
His  descendants,  living  and  dead  were,  at  the  time  of  his  decease, 
about  two  hundred ;  there  were  eight  or  ten  of  the  fifth  generation 
his  grandchildren's  grandchildren.  These,  as  well  as  his  other 
relatives,  he  regarded  as  a  high  trust,  concerning  which  God  would 
require  an  account  of  his  stewardship.  For  their  temporal  and  spir- 
itual welfare,  he  labored,  prayed  and  counselled.  As  evidence  of  this 
and  of  his  general  Christian  character,  a  few  extracts  will  here  be 
given  from  letters  written  in  the  later  period  of  his  life,  for  he  brought 
forth  fruit  in  old  age. 

"Writing  to  a  child,  December  10,  1824,  he  says:  'By  the  grace 
of  God,  I  have  been  carried  through  the  various  stages  of  manhood, 
and  am  this  day  seventy-four  years  old.  I  have  set  apart  this  day 
for  prayer,  and  have  been  reading  the  forty-second  Psalm.  I  have 
enjoyed  in  some  measure  the  light  of  God's  countenance.  O,  it  is 
good  to  draw  nigh  to  God,  for  he  has  styled  himself  a  prayer-hearing 
God  ;  and  never  said  to  the  seeid  of  Jacob,  seek  my  face  in  vain.' 

"'December  12,  Lord's  Day.  I  had  great  desire  to  enjoy  the 
light  of  God's  countenance,  for  which  I  attempted  to  pray ;  and  I 
think  my  poor  feeble  attempts  were  not  in  vain.  My  enjoyment  con- 
tinued through  the  day  and  evening.  Thanks  to  Almighty  God,  that 
he  can  subdue  the  hardest  heart  and  bring,  such  sinful  rebels  as  I  am 
to  bow  before  him.  When  I  look  back  on  my  life  and  see  how  I  have 
lived,  more  than  forty  years  since  I  experienced  religion,  if  indeed  I 
ever  did,  I  have  reason  to  blush  and  be  ashamed  and  repent  in  dust 
and  ashes.  I  feel  that  I  have  more  reason  to  be  thankful  to  God, 
than  any  of  the  sinful  race.  If  he  should  see  fit  to  continue  me  in 
life,  my  prayer  to  him  is,  that  he  would  make  me  more  faithful  in  his 
service,  and  that  the  remainder  of  my  days  may  be  filled  up  with  duty 
and  usefulness  to  God  and  man.' 

"In  1832  he  writes:  'Alas!  my  dear  children,  with  shame  and 
confusion  of  face,  I  am  often  confessing  before  the  throne  of  grace, 
that  when  I  would  do  good,  evil  is  present  with  me  ;  that  while  I 
delight  in  the  law  after  the  inner  man,  I  am  so  drawn  aside  by  my 
indwelling  corruptions,  the  snares  of  the  world  and  Satan's  tempta-

tions,  that  were  it  not  for  a  strong  belief,  that  I  have  an  advocate 
with  the  Father,  Jesus  Christ  the  righteous,  who  is  the  propriation  for 
our  sins,  and  the  sins  of  the  whole  world,  I  could  have  no  confidence 
towards  God,  being  condemned  by  my  own  heart.  In  short,  I  can 
do  no  other,  than  allow,  that  all  my  best  services  are  defiled  with 
sin,  and  need  to  be  washed  in  that  fountain,  which  the  Lord  has 
opened  for  sin  and  uncleanness.' 

"In  1835  he  wrote  to  a  brother :  'For  many  years  I  have  thought 
much  on  the  importance  of  being  prepared  for  death  ;  but  it  appears 
to  me  that  during  the  last  year,  I  have  grown  more  in  the  knowledge 
of  Christ  than  in  any  previous  year  of  my  life.  I  can  say  in  my  most 
favored  moments,  I  know  him,  I  love  him,  I  am  his  and  he  is  mine. 
No  name  awakens  such  tender  and  interesting  feelings  in  my  mind  as 
his  ;  nor  is  there  any  being  in  the  universe,  whom  I  so  much  delight 
to  honor  or  desire  to  see.  And  why  should  it  not  be  so  ?  We  are 
under  greater  obligations  to  him  than  to  all  the  world  besides.  We 
have  more  to  do  with  him,  every  day  of  our  lives,  than  with  any  other 
being  in  the  universe.  No  being  in  heaven  so  much  beloved  as  he 
is  ;  none  has  manifested  such  love  towards  us  as  he  has.  No  wonder 
that  our  heart  and  flesh  should  cry  out  for  him. 

"  'My  dear  brother,  if  you  and  I  are  what  we  profess  to  be,  we 
shall  be  in  a  short  time  with  him,  where  he  is,  to  behold  his  glory, 
which  he  had  with  the  Father,  before  the  world  was.  Although  my 
health  is  good,  my  reason  tells  me,  the  time  I  have  to  stay  here  is 
short.  I  often  look  over  my  life,  to  see  if  I  have  done  anything  on 
which  I  could  place  the  least  dependence,  viewing  it  as  righteous  in 
the  sight  of  a  holy  God ;  but  comparing  my  life  with  his  holy  word,  I 
am  constrained  to  say  that  in  all  things  I  have  come  short  of  my 
duty.  I  have  nowhere  to  go  but  to  God  through  Christ,  and  plead 
for  mercy  in  his  name.' 

"Again  he  writes  Dec.  10,  1835  :  'My  dear  children,  I  am  this 
day  eighty-five  years  old.  I  have  spent  most  of  the  day  in  calling  to 
mind  the  numerous  blessings  of  which  God,  in  his  holy  providence, 
has  made  me  the  unworthy  partaker,  and  in  reading  and  meditating 
upon  the  25th  and  29th  chapters  of  Genesis,  the  34th  chapter  of 
Exodus,  32d  of  Deuteronomy,  and  the  two  last  chapters  of  Joshua. 
I  enjoy  good  health,  and  have  attended  meeting  every  Sabbath  this 
season.     When  I  call  to  mind  what  God  has  done  for  me,  and  what 


362  History  of  the  Mack  Family. 

miserable  improvement  I  have  made  of  his  numerous  mercies,  I 
have  great  reason  to  be  humbled  before  him.' 

" 'December  31,  1835.  In  the  good  providence  of  God,  I  am 
brought  to  the  close  of  another  year.  There  is  no  closing  year  in 
eternity.  The  solemn  influence  of  this  season  is  among  the  means  of 
grace  connected  with  a  probationary  state. 

"  'My  dear  children,  it  becomes  you  and  me,  faithfully  to  exam- 
ine the  foundation  of  our  hope,  and  see  to  it,  that  we  are  not  deceived  ; 
that  when  God  shall  call  us  hence  we  may  be  prepared  for  the  sum- 
mons ;  our  work  done,  and  well  done,  for  which  'the  time  is  short.' 

"  'January  i,  1836.  I  have  been  loudly  admonished  the  year 
past  by  the  deaths  of  many  aged  friends.  I  am  the  oldest  man  in 
town — there  is  not  one  living  who  was  here  when  I  came.  In  one 
sense  I  am  almost  alone  ;  in  another,  I  am  not  alone.  I  enjoy  the 
presence  and  smiles  of  my  Saviour  in  my  room,  which  is  the  best  of 
company.  I  have  great  enjoyment  on  the  Sabbath,  in  going  to  the 
house  of  God,  in  hearing  the  Gospel,  and  in  visiting  my  Christian 
friends  on  week  days.  If  I  am  not  deceived  my  evidences  for  heaven 
are  brighter,  and  my  faith  stronger  as  I  advance  in  life. 

"  'Yet,  many  times  I  see  myself  to  be  so  great  a  sinner,  it  seems 
impossible  I  should  be  of  that  happy  number  whose  sins  are  forgiven. 
And  yet,  I  do  not  despair  of  mercy  on  account  of  the  greatness  of  my 
sins,  for  I  firmly  believe  that  the  atonement  which  Christ  has  made 
is  sufficient  to  atone  for  my  sins  and  for  the  sins  of  the  whole  world. 
He  'came  not  to  call  the  righteous,  but  sinners  to  repentance,'  such 
as  feel  themselves  to  be  sinners,  old  sinners.' 

"In  1836  he  thus  addressed  his  grandchildren:  'My  dear  and 
much  esteemed  grandchildren  : — God,  in  his  holy  providence,  has 
lengthened  out  my  unprofitable  life  much  longer  than  I  expected.  He 
has  bestowed  upon  me  many  blessings.  My  health  is  as  good  as  it 
ever  was.  I  can  read  with  spectacles  and  some  without.  My  hear- 
ing is  perfect.  Although  my  health  is  good,  my  reason  tells  me  I 
have  but  a  short  time  to  stay  in  this  world  of  trouble  and  sin.  May 
I  so  live,  that  when  God  calls  me  home,  to  be  here  no  more,  I  may 
be  found  watching,  and  enabled  through  grace  in  Christ  Jesus,  to 
give  up  joyfully  my  spirit  to  him  who  gave  it. 

"  'It  is  uncertain  whether  you  will  ever  hear  from  your  aged 
grandfather  again  in  this  way  ;  will  you  therefore,   my  dear  grand- 


Fourth   Generation.  363 

children,  allow  me  to  give  you  a  few  words  of  advice  ?  I  have  great 
concern  for  your  temporal  and  spiritual  good  ;  and  knowing,  as  I  do 
from  experience,  how  liable  young  people  are  to  go  astray,  from  the 
commands  of  God,  into  forbidden  paths,  I  would  warn  you  of  your 
danger.  Be  careful  what  company  you  associate  with,  for  such  will 
be  your  character. 

"  'Never  marry  for  riches  or  beauty,  for  beauty  is  vain  and  riches 
take  to  themselves  wings  and  fly  away.  Exercise  judgment.  Be  well 
acquainted  with  the  temper  and  disposition  of  your  intended  bosom 
friend  before  you  decide.  Lay  hand  suddenly  on  no  one.  When 
you  commence  housekeeping,  be  careful  to  erect  the  family  altar. 

"  'Let  me  enjoin  it  upon  you,  often  to  read  your  Bible,  with 
prayer  to  God,  for  a  right  understanding  of  what  you  read.  Be 
always  ready  to  do  your  part  in  supporting  the  Gospel.  The  man 
who  is  not  willing  to  support  the  Gospel,  cannot,  with  propriety,  be 
called  a  good  member  of  society. 

"  'Despise  not  the  poor,  because  he  is  poor.  The  great  object 
of  our  existence  is  to  glorify  God,  in  whom  we  live  and  have  our 
being,  and  who  bestows  all  our  comforts.  Take  heed  that  you  faith- 
fully perform  all  the  duties  and  business  of  life,  from  a  regard  to  his 
commands  and  with  reference  to  his  glory..  We  are  placed  in  this 
world  to  labor  for  him,  (not  to  become  rich  and  great),  and  to  do 
all  the  good  we  can.  Let  it  be  your  aim  to  have  the  glory  of  God  as 
your  ultimate  end  in  all  you  do.  I  desire  to  commit  you  to,  and 
leave  you  with,  the  Father  of  all  mercies  and  God  of  all  grace. 

"  'That  you  may  be  directed  safely  through  an  evil  world  to 
God's  heavenly  kingdom,  is  the  sincere  prayer  of  your  aged  grand- 
father, David  Mack.' 

"Bv  such  counsels  as  these,  and  a  corresponding  example,  and 
fervent  prayers,  he  was  a  faithful  steward  in  the  care  of  the  children 
which  God  gave  him,  and  also  of  his  children's  children  ;  and  this 
labor  was  not  in  vain  in  the  Lord,  for  most  of  his  grandchildren  are 
hopefully  pious. 

"Col.  Mack's  early  advantages  were  very  limited,  for  previous  to 
his  marriage  he  had  been  to  school  but  six  weeks.  He  once  expos- 
tulated with  his  father  because  he  did  not  give  him  more  opportunity 
to  attend  school.  His  father  replied,  'David,  I  never  went  to  school 
but  three  weeks  in  my  life  ;  you  have  been  six  and  ought  to  be  satis- 


364  History  of  the  Mack  Family. 

fied.'  But  this  did  not  satisfy  him.  He  afterwards  went  to  the 
common  school  of  those  days  with  his  own  children,  and  spelled  in 
the  same  class  with  his  son  David  who  was  six  years  old. 

"Thus  improving  his  mind.  Col.  Mack  increased  in  understand- 
ing. He  kept  along  with  the  progress  of  the  times.  He  was  a 
friend  and  patron  of  learning,  and  gave  large  sums  in  aid  of  public 
seminaries.  He  assisted  indigent  young  men  in  their  studies,  and 
offered  his  three  sons  a  liberal  education. 

"His  life  is  identified  with  the  entire  history  of  the  town  in  which 
he  lived ;  in  his  prime  he  was  prominent  in  all  its  public  affairs,  con- 
stantly filling  some  office  of  trlist  and  honor,  as  selectman,  assessor, 
justice  of  the  peace,  representative  to  the  legislature,  colonel  of  the 
militia  and  deacon  of  the  church.  To  this  last  office  he  was  early 
appointed,  and  served  in  it  acceptably  until  he  resigned  at  seventy- 
five  years  of  age. 

"It  was  principally  by  his  agency  that  Middlefield  was  incorpor- 
ated into  a  town,  the  advantages  of  which  were  from  the  first  foreseen 
by  him.  Having  obtained  a  knowledge  of  the  region  while  hunting, 
and  defined  the  boundaries  for  a  new  town,  he  called  a  meeting  of 
the  citizens  to  consider  the  matter.  They  approved  the  object,  but 
dreaded  the  expense  and, the  opposition  of  the  interested  towns.  He 
told  them  he  would  undertake  the  business  ;  if  successful,  they 
should  defray  the  expenses  ;  if  he  failed,  the  loss  should  be  his  own. 
They  consented,  and  he  succeeded.  The  act  of  incorporation  was 
granted  March  12,  1783.  It  was  also  mainly  through  his  agency, 
that  the  meeting  house  was  erected  in  1791.  Previous  to  this  reli- 
gious meetings  were  held  in  his  barn  and  large  chambers  of  his  house, 
and  town  meetings  in  his  kitchen.  He  occupied  the  pew  in  which  he 
was  first  seated,  fifty-four  years,  during  which  period  more  than  thirty, 
who  were  at  different  times  his  seat  mates,  deceased. 

"He  attended  constantly  on  divine  worship.  He  was  not  afraid 
of  the  snow  and  vapor,  the  stormy  wind,  rain  or  distance.  He  was 
glad  to  go  ;  he  was  joyful  in  God's  house ;  he  sat  there  with  great 
delight,  and  the  preaching  seemed  better  and  better.  Col.  Mack  had 
a  heart  for  it ;  and  for  years,  until  there  was  a  religious  society  in 
Middlefield,  he  Avent,  on  foot,  to  Chester,  six  miles,  during  a  great 
portion  of  the  year.  And,  in  the  winter's  cold  on  those  mountains, 
he  frequently  went  with  an  ox  sled,  carrying  his  own  and  his  neigh- 


Fourth   Generation.  365 

bors'  families.  This  occupied  him  from  sunrise  to  sunset,  and  fre- 
quently longer. 

"He  had  a  strong  constitution,  good  health,  a  keen  discernment, 
sound  judgment  and  untiring  industry.  Besides  the  land  on  which 
he  settled,  then  a  wilderness,  he  used  facetiously  to  say,  that  when  he 
removed  to  Middlefield,  his  property  consisted  of  a  poor  horse,  an 
axe  and  his  wife  and  child. 

"Thus  it  was  not  much  that  he  had  to  begin  with  ;  but  he  was 
industrious,  economical  and  faithful ;  so  prompt  in  the  payment  of  his- 
debts,  that  no  one,  in  any  instance  during  his  long  business  life,, 
called  for  money  due  from  him,  without  his  paying  it ;  a  peculiar 
excellence  and  worthy  of  all  imitation, 

"He  was  a  merchant  as  well  as  a  farmer;  and  he  established 
many  young  men  in  the  mercantile  business  in  the  adjacent  towns. 
He  also  established  in  business  the  first  blacksmith,  the  first  boot 
and  shoemaker,  and  first  saddle  and  harness  maker  who  followed 
their  respective  trades  in  Middlefield. 

"In  those  days  it  was  not  customary  to  promote  benevolent 
enterprises,  but  he  was  in  advance  of  the  times  in  which  he  lived.  In 
large  sums  he  bestowed  more  than  eighteen  thousand  dollars ;  and 
his  smaller  offerings,  to  promote  human  welfare,  are  supposed  to 
have  been  not  less  than  eighteen  thousand  dollars  more.  He  was 
one  of  the  founders  of  the  Hampshire  Missionary  Society ;  and  he 
made  himself,  by  his  contributions,  a  life  member  of  twelve  benevo- 
lent societies ;  and,  at  a  period  when  it  was  regarded  as  doubtful 
whether  all  the  missionary  societies  in  the  country  could  support  one 
missionary  in  a  foreign  land,  he  removed  that  doubt  by  a  donation  of 
one  thousand  dollars,  which,  at  that  time,  was  an  almost  unparalleled 
act  of  liberality. 

"In  the  year  18 14,  he  presented  each  of  his  children  with  a  set 
of  Scott's  Family  Bible,  which  cost  him  three  hundred  and  sixty  dol- 
lars. He  left  for  the  church  and  society,  of  which  he  had  so  long 
been  a  member,  a  fund  of  three  thousand  dollars  for  the  support  of 
the  Gospel,  in  all  coming  time. 

"Col.  Mack  was  not  too  faithful.  He  felt  that  he  had  done  too 
little  for  the  Savior  who  died  for  him.  His  hope  was  in  Christ  and 
in  him  alone.  He  felt  himself  to  be  nothing  but  a  sinner  saved  by 
grace.     He  lived  till  satisfied  with   long  life.     Though   his   hearings

■was  yet  perfect,  and  his  eye  scarcely  dim,  and  his  natural  force  not 
much  abated,  he  did  not  wish  to  live  longer ;  his  days  were  full,  his 
■work  was  done,  he  chose  to  depart,  'and  he  was  not  for  God  took  him.' 
"The  youngest  child  was  twenty-seven  years  old  before  there 
was  a  death  in  the  family." 

He  died  March  24,  1845.  She  died  July  11,  1827,  in  Middle-

Owego,  N.  Y.  He,  while  a  merchant  at  Cooperstown,  had  a  contract 
in  1799  with  the  government  to  furnish  about  100,000  spars,  to  be 
deUvered  at  Baltimore.  In  March  of  that  year  a  freshet  in  the  Sus- 
quehanna river  carried  away  all  the  timber,  which  he  had  purchased 
and  paid  for  in  goods  out  of  his  store,  and  made  him  a  bankrupt.  He 
removed  in  1799  to  Owego,  N.  Y.  He  engaged  again  in  the  mer- 
cantile business.  He  purchased,  in  1805,  the  American  Farmer 
printing  office,  and  pubhshed  the  newspaper  until  his  death.  He 
was  a  prominent  and  influential  citizen.  Justice  of  the  Peace. 
Supervisor,  1807-8,  1811-12.  First  Judge  of  Broome  County,  N.  Y., 
18 1 2-1 4.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Masonic  fraternity,  and  Aug.  28, 
1804,  was  one  of  the  petitioners  for  a  lodge  at  Owego.  He  was  a 
taxable  inhabitant  of  the  Town  of  Tioga,  Tioga  County,  N.  Y.,  in 
1802.  He  died  April  14  (o.  16),  18 14,  at  Owego,  N.  Y.  His  second 
wife  Mary  died  Feb,  20,  1862,  at  the  same  place. 

"Stephen  Mack  was  born  in  New  Marlborough,  Mass.,  March 
20th,  1766.  He  was  twice  married;  first  to  Mary  Chambers,  who 
died  while  they  resided  at  or  near  Cooperstown,  leaving  four  children, 
Elizabeth,  Stephen,  Phoebe  and  Ebenezer.  Subsequently  he  married 
in  1797  at  Cooperstown,  N.  Y.,  Mary  Serjants,  daughter  of  Lemuel 
Serjants  then  recently  from  Bellows  Falls,  Vt.  She  survived  him 
nearly  half  a  century  and  died  at  Owego  February  20th,  1862.  By 
his  second  wife  he  had  two  children,  Horace  and  Maria.  Mr.  Mack 
removed  to  Owego  in  1799  and  soon  became  one  of  the  most  active 
and  prominent  citizens.  We  find  it  recorded  that  'in  the  early  settle- 
ment of  Owego  he  held  the  office  of  Commissioner  of  Highways, 
Assessor,  Excise  Commissioner  and  Constable  and  that  he  repre- 
sented the  town  of  Owego  on  the  Board  of  Supervisors  in  1807,  1808, 
1811,  1812.  He  also  served  several  years  as  Justice  of  the  Peace. 
From  Nov.  11,  18 12,  until  his  death  which  occurred  at  Owego,  April 
1 6th,  1814,  he  held  the  office  of  First  Judge  of  Common  Pleas  of  the 
County  of  Broome  under  a  commission  from  Governor  Tompkins. 

"  'Sometime  previous  to  1807  he  became  the  publisher  of  the 
American  Farmer  which  he  continued  until  his  death,  but  in  the  few 
copies  of  this  paper  that  time  has  spared  we  find  little  or  nothing  by 
way  of  editorial  to  give  a  clue  to  his  cast  of  mind,  political  bent  or 
literary  ability.  His  remains  now  lie  in  Evergreen  cemetery,  having 
been  twice  removed,  first  from  the  old  ground  on  Court  Street  to  the

Presbyterian  yard  on  Temple   Street   and  thence,   in    1875,  to  their 
present  resting  place.'  "

"Judge  Stephen  Mack,  the  second  newspaper  publisher  in 
Owego,  was  born  in  Massachusetts  March  20,  1766.  In  1799,  while 
keeping  a  general  country  store  in  Cooperstown,  N.  Y.,  he  made  a 
contract  with  the  United  States  government  to  furnish  about  100,000 
spars,  to  be  delivered  at  Baltimore,  Md.  He  purchased  the  timber 
in  the  winter,  paying  for  it  in  goods  from  his  store.  In  March,  1799, 
while  about  to  start  it  down  the  river  there  came  a  great  freshet, 
carrying  away  and  scattering  along  the  stream  all  of  his  timber.  He 
came  down  the  river  to  Owego  in  quest  of  his  property,  but  ascer- 
taining that  it  would  cost  him  as  much  to  secure  it  as  it  would  be 
worth  when  gathered  together  again,  he  abandoned  his  search.  The 
loss  of  his  timber  made  him  a  bankrupt. 

"During  his  sojourn  in  Owego  he  had  become  impressed  with 
the  beauty  of  the  Susquehanna  valley  and  its  apparent  advantages  to 
settlers,  and  he  at  once  returned  here  to  live.  He  was  a  man  of 
great  vigor,  enterprise  and  ability,  and  he  at  once  became  an  active 
and  prominent  citizen.  He  engaged  in  the  mercantile  business,  in 
which  he  was  successful.  He  was  prominent  in  public  affairs  and 
held  the  offices  of  commissioner  of  highways,  assessor,  excise  com- 
missioner and  constable,  and  he  represented  the  town  of  Owego  in 
the  board  of  supervisors  in  1807,  1808,  1811  and  1812.  He  also 
served  several  years  as  justice  of  the  peace.  From  1812  to  1815  he 
was  first  judge  of  the  court  of  conunon  pleas  of  the  county  of  Tioga. 
He  died  in  Owego  April  16,  18 14,  in  the  49th  year  of  his  age.  His 
remains  were  interred  in  the  old  burying  ground  in  Court  Street. 
They  were  afterward  removed  to  the  Presbyterian  yard  in  Temple 
Street.     In  1875  t^h^y  were  again  removed  to  Evergreen  cemetery." 

The  following  is  a  copy  of  his  commission  as  County  Judge  :

"Dep.  Secretary." 

At  the  time  of  her  death  the  "Owego  Gazette"  of  Feb'y  27th, 
1862,  said  : 

"Departed  this  life  on  Thursday,  the  20th  inst.,  at  the  residence 
of  her  son-in-law,  John  Carmichael,  Esq.,  Mrs.  Mary  Mack,  aged  ^T) 
years,  consort  of  Hon.  Stephen  Mack,  one  of  the  early  residents  of 
this  Village.  Indeed,  he  may  almost  be  said  to  have  been  a  pioneer 
in  this  locality,  for  he  settled  here  as  early  as  1799.  Partaking  in  a 
large  degree  of  the  elements  of  personal  popularity,  and  combining 
talent  with  conceded  integrity  and  purity  of  purpose,  he  was  among 
the  most  prominent  of  the  public  men  of  this  section  of  our  State, 
and  filled  many  stations  of  honor  and  public  trust.  His  family  con- 
sisted of  three  sons  and  three  daughters  :  Stephen,  Ebenezer,  Horace, 
Betsey,  Phoebe  and  Maria.  The  three  former  resided  many  years  in 
the  Village  of  Ithaca,  Tompkins  County,  and  were  among  the  most 
useful  and  respectable  of  the  citizens  of  that  place.     The  eldest  was 


Fourth   Generation.  373 

a  lawyer  by  profession,  the  second  edited  for  a  long  period  a  public 
paper  and  subsequently  was  elected  to  the  Senate  of  this  State,  and 
the  third  was  distinguished  for  his  moral  worth  and  business  capacity 
as  a  merchant.  The  eldest  daughter,  Betsey,  married  Benjamin 
Benedict,  Esq.,  for  many  years  a  resident  of  the  county  of  Delaware, 
some  time  since  deceased.  Phoebe,  a  Mr.  Crawford,  and  Maria,  the 
youngest,  was  the  former  wife  of  Mr.  Carmichael.  She  died  at 
Owego,  N.  Y.,  Sept.  22,  1829,  8  p.  m.,  ae.  29  y.  2  ms.  22  d.  These 
children  are  all  dead  with  the  exception  of  Mrs.  Benedict.  Judge 
Mack  died  in  18 14,  and  the  subject  of  this  notice  has  remained  his 
widow  from  that  tirne  down  to  the  period  of  her  death.  Blest  by 
nature  with  a  strong  constitution,  and  possessing  great  physical  and 
mental  energy,  she  seemed  admirably  calculated  for  the  labors  and 
responsibilities  incident  to  her  early  life  ;  and,  indeed,  she  retained 
those  qualities  until  within  a  short  period  before  its  close.  In  the 
year  18 18,  she  united  herself  with  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  this 
village,  and  it  may  with  much  truth  be  said  that  her  daily  walk  and 
conversation  have  been  in  conformity  with  her  profession.  In  a 
conversation  with  her  pastor,  a  few  days  before  her  death,  she 
expressed  a  full  confidence  in  her  religious  faith,  but  seemed  to  enter- 
tain some  dread  as  to  the  moment  of  conflict  when  the  soul  was  to 
separate  from  the  body.  We  are  happy  to  learn,  however,  that  before 
the  hour  of  dissolution  came,  her  mind  was  at  rest  upon  that  point, 
and  that  nine  o'clock  on  the  evening  of  the  day  already  announced, 
she  feel  quietly  asleep,  in  the  arms,  as  we  trust,  of  her  Saviour  and 
Redeemer : — 

'Mild  as  a  saint,  whose  errors  are  forgiven  ; 
Calm  as  a  vestal,  and  composed  as  Heaven.'  "

ated at  Yale  College  in  the  class  of  1813.  He  studied  law  with 
Hon.  Samuel  Sherwood,  M.  C,  of  Delhi,  N.  Y.  Admitted  as 
attorney  May  16,  1817  ;  counselor,  Jan.  15,  1822  ;  solicitor  same 
date.  He  removed,  in  1814,  to  Owego,  N.  Y.,  and  about  1S16 
to  Ithaca,  N.  Y.  Master  in  Chancery.  The  following  letter 
refers  to  his  appointment  as  Commissioner  of  the  Supreme 
Court:  "Albany,  19  Dec,  1838.  Dear  Sir — I  have  received 
your  letter  in  relation  to  your  not  receiving  your  Commission 
of  Comr.  of  the  Sup.  Court.  I  am  now  at  the  Sug.  Office  and 
on  examining  the  Records  find  that  you  were  appd.  on  the  J  8th 
Apr.  last.  It  appears  by  the  Records  here  that  your  commis- 
sion was  duly  made  out  and  forwarded  to  the  Clerk  of  Tompkins 
Co.  It  is  probable  that  it  is  now  in  that  office  but  if  it  is  not 
and  has  miscarried  another  will  be  made  out  and  forwarded  on 
my  receiving  notice  that  the  previous  one  was  not  reed.  I  will 
return  Judge  Dana's  resignation  if  I  can  lay  my  hands  on  it. 
At  all  events  he  may  consider  it  not  accepted.  It  will  not  be 
handed  over  tn  my  successor  without  his  direction.  Yours,  &c. , 
W.  L.  Marcv."  At  the  time  of  his  death  the  "Tompkins 
County  Democrat"  said  :  "Died,  in  the  Village  of  Ithaca,  on  the 
7th  of  January,  1857,  of  consumption,  Stephen  Mack,  aged  72 
years.  His  funeral  will  be  attended  at  10  a.  m.  of  Friday  next 
from  the  residence  of  Mrs.  E.  Mack.  Stephen  Mack  was  born 
Deceml^er  29th,  1784,  at  Kinderhook,  N.  Y.,  and  therefore  at 
the  date  of  his  death,  was  about  72  years  of  age.  He  graduated 
at  Yale  College  almost  half  a  century  ago,  having  belonged  to 
the  class  of  1S13,  of  which  Senator  Badger,  of  North  Carolina, 


Fourth   Generation.  377 

is  one  of  the   few  surviving  members.     He  studied  law  with 
Samuel  Sherwood,  of  Delhi,  N.  Y.,  and,  upon  the  death  of  his 
father,  moved  to  Owego,  from  whence,  about  the  year  1816,  he 
came  to  Ithaca,  and  commenced  the  practice  of  law,  which  he 
continued  until  the  period  of  his  death.     He  was  never  married. 
As  a  lawyer  he  was  methodical,  diligent  and  learned,  and  often- 
times in  a  case  requiring  great  study,  care  and  investigation,  a 
formidable  adversary.     Quiet  and  retired  in  his  habits  he  min- 
gled little  with  the  world,  and  gave  almost  his  entire  time  to 
study  and  reflection.     His  illness  was  brief,   originating  in  a 
sudden  cold,  and  rapidly  advanced  to  a  fatal  termination.     In 
his  death  another  of  the  links  binding  the  present  to  the  past 
has  been  rudely  sundered.     He  was  a  brother  of  Ebenezer  and 
Horace  Mack,  who,  though  younger  in  years,  preceded  him  to 
the  grave,  and  whose  memories  yet  linger  freshly  among  us. 
Now  all  are  gone,  and  we  shall  see  their  familiar  and  accus- 
tomed   faces  no  more  among  the  scenes  of  life."     The  same 
issue  of  "Tompkins  County  Democrat"  said  :   "At  a  meeting  of 
the   Bar  of  Tompkins  County,   held  January  8th,    1857,  upon 
occasion  of  the  decease  of  Stephen  Mack,  Caleb  B.   Drake  was 
appointed  chairman,  and  Amasa  Dana,   secretary.     Upon  mo- 
tion, Messrs.  B.  G.  Ferris,  Alfred  Welles  and  F.  M.  Finch  were 
appointed  to  draft  appropriate  resolutions,  upon  whose  report 
the  following  were  unanimously   adopted  :  Resolved,   That  in 
the   removal   by   death   of   our   professional   brother,  Stephen 
Mack,  we  feel  called  upon  to  pay  that  respect  to  his  memory 
which  his  character  deserves  as  one  of  the  oldest  members  of 
the  Tompkins  Bar — as  a  diligent  student,  a  learned  lawyer,  an 
honorable  practitioner,  and  an  honest  man.     Resolved,  That  as 
a   mark    of   our   respect   for  the  memory  of  the  deceased,  we 
attend  the  funeral  in  a  body.     Resolved,  That  a  copy  of  these 
resolutions  be  furnished  to  the  press  of  our  village  for  pub- 
lication.    (Sgd.)    Caleb    B.    Drake,    Ch'n.     Amasa    Dana,

getic and  industrious  farmer,  but  a  feeble  wife  and  eight  children  had

but  three  cents  in  his  pocket  and  was  two  dollars  in  debt.  Here  he 
soon  made  himself  a  comfortable  home."

son  of  Deacon  Richard  Cary,  was  killed.  Although  only 
twenty-one  years  old,  he  was  a  man  of  extraordinary  size  and

lege, 1836-54. 

Professor  William  S.  Tyler's  History  of  Amherst  College  says  of 
him  : 

"Hon.  David  Mack  was  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of 
Amherst  College  from  1836  to  1854.  He  was  born  in  Middlefield, 
Mass.,  in  February,  1778.  He  fitted  for  college  at  Windsor  Hill, 
where  Roger  Sherman  was  his  fellow-student ;  but  his  eyes  failed  him 
and  he  was  compelled  to  relinquish  a  public  education.  For  twenty 
years  he  was  a  merchant  in  his  native  place.  In  1834  he  removed 
to  Amherst. 

"He  was  several  times  Representative  from  Middlefield  in  the 
General  Court,  and  once  a  member  of  the  Massachusetts  Senate  from 
Hampshire  County.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the  Governor's  Coun- 
cil. In  18 1 2,  he  commanded  for  some  months  the  militia  of  Boston, 
and  thus  acquired  the  title  of  General,  by  which  he  was  usually 
known.  For  many  years  he  was  the  senior  deacon  of  the  church  in 
Amherst. 

"Elected  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  shortly  after  his 
removal  to  Amherst,  he  continued  a  member  till,  after  eighteen  years 
of  faithful  service,  his  connection  was  dissolved  by  death.  During 
nearly  all  these  years  he  was  a  member  also  of  the  Prudential  Com- 
mittee, and  of  building  and '  other  working  committees  generally. 
Bemg  a  resident  in  town  he  was  always  present  at  the  meetings  and 
constantly  charged  with  special  duties  and  responsibilities  in  relation 
to  the  College.  At  the  same  time  he  was  always  ready  to  contribute 
liberally  to  its  pecuniary  necessities  according  to  his  means. 

"Gen.  Mack  died  September  6,  1854,  aged  seventy-six  years. 
'He  was  a  man  of  great  decision  of  character  and  a  devoted  Christian,

religion,  of  which  there  were  many — this  one  in  1831,  Moody 
Harrington,  class  of  '31,  did  a  work  which,  if  he  had  never  done 
anything  else,  would  entitle  him  to  a  place  among  those  who  are 
wise  and  turn  many  to  righteousness. ' '  And  in  a  note  the  follow- 
ing :  "Mr.  Beecher  (Henry  Ward,  who  entered  Amherst  in  1831), 
is  accustomed  to  speak  of  Mr.  Harrington  as  almost  his  spiritual 
father,  to  whom  he  owed  more  religiously  than  to  any  other 
man  in  College.  Mr.  Harrington  afterwards  married  the  daugh-

lege in  New  York  City,  was  Censor  many  years  and  received  from 
that  institution  the  degree  of  M,  D,  in  1876. 

The  National  Cyclopedia  of  American  Biography  says  : 

"Hallock,  Lewis.  He  was  born  June  30,  1803,  in  New  York 
City,  son  of  Jacob  and  Sarah  (Mather)  Hallock.  His  father,  a 
native  of  Southold,  L.  I.,  was  a  prominent  merchant  in  New  York 
until  his  death  in  18 13.  The  family  descends  from  Peter  Hallock, 
leader  of  a  colony ;  the  first  white  settlers  on  the  eastern  end  of 
Long  Island,  where  they  purchased  a  large  tract  of  land  from  the 
Indians  and  founded  the  town  of  Southold.  After  the  death  of  his 
father,  Lewis  Hallock  went  to  live  with  his  grandmother  at  Matti- 
tuck,  L.  I.,  and  completed  his  preparatory  education  at  Clinton 
Academy,  the  second  incorporated  school  in  the  State.  He  began 
the  study  of  medicine  with  his  uncle,  Dr.  Elisha  Hallock,  of  Southold, 
and  at  the  end  of  the  year  returned  to  New  York  City  to  continue 
his  preparation  under  Dr.  James  W.  Francis  and  at  the  College  of 
Physicians  and  Surgeons,  where  he  was  graduated  M.  D.,  in  1825. 
After  fifteen  years  of  successful  practice,  his  attention  was  called  to 
the  homeopathic  system  of  medicine,  then  rapidly  gaining  strength 
in  America,  and  after  carefully  investigating  its  claims,  he  announced 
himself  a  convert.  The  same  course  was  pursued  by  a  goodly  por- 
tion of  his  classmates.  In  1846  he  joined  the  Homeopathic  Institute 
of  America,  and  later  also  the  county  and  state  societies ;  being 
President  of  city  and  county  societies  for  one  year  each.  For  many 
years  he  was  one  of  the  board  of  censors  of  the  Homeopathic  Medi- 
cal College,  in  which  he  was  twice  offered  and  declined  a  professor- 
ship, and  in  1876  received  from  its  faculty  and  trustees  the  honorary 
degree  of  M.  D.  This  honor  was  conferred  on  the  occasion  of  the 
fiftieth  anniversary  of  his  graduation,  when  a  dinner  was  given  him 
at  the  Fifth  Avenue  Hotel.  He  lived  to  see  the  seventieth  anniver- 
sary of  the  same  event,  and  then  received  another  complimentary 
dinner  at  the  Savoy  Hotel  from  the  New  York  Medical  Club,  at

Jays  of  his  death.  Throughout  Hfe  he  was  an  earnest  advocate  of 
:emperance,  having  as  a  young  man  founded  the  Young  Men's  Total 
fVbstinence  Society,  which  in  1836  pubHshed  a  weekly  paper  advo- 
:ating  the  cause.  To  his  principle  in  this  regard  he  attributed  his 
ongevity,  and  indeed  his  unusual  quickness  of  comprehension  and 
■apidity  of  judgment  was  an  excellent  evidence  of  faculties  well 
-ised.  His  contributions  to  homeopathic  periodicals  were  numerous 
ind  representative,  and  to  his  influence  is  attributed  much  of  the 
Dopularization  the  system  has  achieved.  At  the  annual  meeting  of 
:he  American  Institute  of  Homeopathy,  held  in  Newport,  R.  I.,  in 
[une,  1895,  he  was  greeted  with  the  greatest  enthusiasm  and  made  a 
'ew  appropriate  and  pleasing  remarks.  Personally,  Dr.  Hallock  was 
in  exemplar  of  the  most  charming,  old-fashioned,  courtly  manners

ind  professional  associates,  was  pre-eminently  domestic  in  his  tastes, 
belonging  to  but  one  club."

John'.)     14019.     He  was  born  May  9,  1791,  at  Kinderhook  Landing 
(now  Stuyvesant),  N.  Y.     He   married,  in  February,    1820,  Eleanor 
Dey.     (For  her  ancestry  see  the  History   of  the  Dey  Family  in  this 
work.)     She    was   born   May  27,    1800.     He   was   a  partner  in  the 
publication  of  the  Owego  Gazette.     He  removed  to   Ithaca  in  18 16. 
He  was  one  of  the  most  prominent  and   respected  citizens  of  Ithaca 
in  its  early  days.     He   was  the  editor  and  publisher  of  the  Ithaca 
Journal,  1816-33.     He  also  owned  a  bookstore,  printing  office,  book- 
bindery  and  the   Ithaca   paper   mills.     He   was   called   upon   to  fill 
many  public  positions.     Member  of  Assembly,  1830.     State  Senator, 
1835-7-     Trustee  of  the   Village  of  Ithaca,   1823.     Colonel   in- the 
State  Militia.     He   was   one   of  the   commissioners  to  receive  sub- 
scriptions to  the  stock  of  the  Bank  of  Ithaca,  incorporated   April  22, 
1829,  and  was  elected  one  of  its  first  Directors.     Secretary  of  the 
Ithaca  and  Owego  Railroad  Company,  1828.     School  Trustee,  1818. 
The  firm  of    Mack  &  Andrus,  of  which  he  was    a    member,    were 
publishers  of  many  books,  some  of  their  books,  like  Cobb's  Spelling 
Book,  having  a  very  large  sale.     He  was  a  member  of  the  Masonic 
fraternity.     An  interesting  journal  kept  by  him,  of  a  journey  taken  in 
1835  to  New  York  City  and  Philadelphia,  is  in  the  possession  of  the 
family.     He   wrote   a   Life   of   Lafayette.     He  was   foreman  of  the 
Columbian  printing  office  in  New  York  City  and  resigned  to  enter 
into    partnership,  June   15,    1815,  with  Stephen   B.  Leonard  in  the 
publication  of  the  newspaper  now  known  as  the  Owego  Gazette. 

The  following  letter  of  recommendation  given  to  him    at    the 
time  has  been  preserved  in  the  family  : 


MRS.    ELEANOR     DEY     MACK 


SENATOR     EBENEZER     MACK 


Fifth   Generation.  395 

"New  York,  January  7,  1815. 
"The  bearer,  Mr.  Ebenezer  Mack,  is  a  young  man  of  genius, 
intelligence,  sobriety  and  integrity,  a  good  writer  (in  verse  and  prose) 
and  correct  republican,  and  a  capable  and  quick  workman  as  a 
printer ;  as  I  have  found  by  the  experience  of  between  three  and 
four  years  past.  "Charles  Holt, 

"Edit.  Columbian." 

The  Ithaca  Democrat  in  1888  published  a  History  of  St.  John's 
Protestant  Episcopal  Church  of  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  which  contained  the 
following  reference  to  him  : 

"April  8,  1822,  a  few  faithful  churchmen  held  a  meeting  in  the 
Methodist  'Meeting  House'  and  organized  an  Episcopal  Church. 
Ebenezer  Mack  was  chosen  a  vestryman." 

At  the  time  of  his  death  "The  Flag  of  Our  Union,"  said  : 

"Our  village  is  again  called  to  mourning — and  not  only  the 
village,  but  the  county  and  the  state  at  large. 

"This  morning,  at  half-past  six  o'clock  the  stroke  of  death 
passed  upon  Ebenezer  Mack,  Mr.  Mack  was  a  man  of  rare  endow- 
ments ;  for  him  nature  had  done  much,  and  the  talent  and  qualifica- 
tion thus  bestowed,  was,  through  the  changes  of  an  extended  and 
busy  life,  improved,  for  the  benefit  of  society,  by  the  most  untiring 
industry  and  a  never  yielding  energy. 

"Possessed  of  a  strong  mind  and  cultivated  intellect,  which  was 
always  actively  engaged  for  the  good  of  those  around  him,  Mr. 
Mack  laid  deeply,  in  the  regard  of  our  whole  community,  the  founda- 
tions for  that  high  estimate  for  character  and  moral  worth,  which 
now,  in  the  realization  of  his  loss,  is  everywhere  manifested.  He 
was  a  man  of  the  most  sterling  integrity,  none  more  reliable  in 
friendship  than  he,  none  more  ready  to  engage  in  any  work  of  public 
importance  and  utility,  and  push  it  to  a  successful  issue.  Providence 
prospered  him  greatly  in  his  undertakings,  and  he  had  the  happiness 
of  living  to  see  his  family,  his  friends,  and  this  his  cherished  village, 
with  all  its  religious,  benevolent,  literary  and  business  institutions, 
eminently  prosperous. 

"Mr.  Mack  has  filled  a  large  place  in  the  political  concerns  of 
our  county  and  state,  having  been  for  many  years  a  member  of  the 
Assembly  and  of  the  Senate,  postmaster  in  the  village,  and  printer  to 


396  History  of  the  Mack  Family. 

the  Senate.  In  his  poHtical  as  well  as  in  his  social  connections,  his 
loss  will  be  deeply  felt. 

"Mr.  Mack  was  born  at  Kinderhook  Landing,  now  Stuyvesant, 
in  1 791.  In  early  life  he  came  with  his  father's  family  to  Owego. 
There  his  father  purchased  the  printing  establishment  of  the  late 
Dan  Conger,  and  published  a  paper  called  the  American  Farmer, 
(if  we  recollect  rightly.)  Here  Mr.  Mack  acquired  his  knowledge 
of  the  craft.  He  aided,  and  after  his  father's  death,  succeeded  as 
the  publisher.  This  establishment  he  sold  to  S.  B.  Leonard,  Esq., 
from  whom,  we  think,  it  received  the  name — the  Owego  Gazette. 

"After  some  improvement  in  his  qualifications  in  New  York, 
Mr.  Mack  came  to  this  village,  then  in  its  incipient  condition,  in 
181 5,  and  purchased  a  press,  etc.,  which  had  been  started  here  by 
IngersoU  and  Shepherd.  This  was  the  origin  of  the  Ithaca  Journal 
which  was  conducted  by  him,  as  editor,  for  many  years.  The 
exertion  of  his  talents  and  industry  resulted  in  giving  to  that  paper 
the  high  character  which,  under  him,  it  enjoyed  at  home  and  abroad. 

"About  twenty-six  years  ago  William  Andrus,  Esq.,  became 
associated  with  him  in  the  concern,  and  the  business  was  gradually 
but  speedily  extended  from  the  small  beginning  of  a  very  limited 
book  and  stationery  establishment  connected  with  the  newspaper, 
until  it  has  become  the  largest  bookstore,  printing  office,  bindery  and 
paper  making  establishment  in  western  New  York.  The  interest  of 
Mr.  Mack  in  the  Journal  ceased  many  years  since,  as  is  well  known. 
"Mr.  Mack  was  a  member  of  the  Episcopal  Society  in  this  village. 
He  died  of  consumption  in  the  fifty-ninth  year  of  his  age.  His 
decease  occurring  this  morning  just  as  we  were  about  to  put  our 
paper  to  press,  (we  stopped  for  this  notice),  it  is  not  in  our  power  to 
do  what  would  be  just  to  the  memory  of  the  deceased,  and  satisfactory 
to  our  own  feelings. 

"To  our  village  the  language  of  Divine  Providence,  in  the 
removal,  within  a  short  time,  of  many  of  our  most  prominent  and 
useful  men,  is  very  express.  The  loss  of  Frederick  M.  Camp,  Daniel 
Bishop,  i5en  Johnson,  Timothy  S.  Williams,  Charles  F.  Woodruff 
and  Ebenezer  Mack,  would  be  felt  in  any  city  of  the  Union.  There 
is  no  exemption  from  the  inevitable  decree. 

"Alike  the  river's  lowly  tide 
Alike  the  liunible  violet's  glide 
To  that  sad  wave. 
I.et  us  look  for  light  l)eyond  the  tomb."

At  the  time  of  her  death  Rev.  Dr.  A.  B.  Beach,    her  paster 
said  in  the  Churchman  : 

"In  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  June  26,  1882,  Eleanor  Mack,  widow  of  th

member  of  the  building  committee  when  the  present  court  house  was 
erected,  in  1854. 

Goodwin's  History  of  Ithaca  says  : 

"About  the  year  1822  an  almost  fatal  encounter  took  place  be- 
tween Horace  Mack  and  a  German  fencing  master.  Mr.  Mack  had 
expressed  some  doubts  regarding  the  qualifications  of  this  gentleman, 
who  resented  it  very  highly,  and  the  final  result  was  a  challenge  by 
the  German  to  fight  a  duel.  The  challenged  of  course  having  the 
choice  of  weapons,  selected  pistols.  The  day  and  hour  were  chosen, 
and  the  place  for  the  affair  of  honor  appointed  on  the  banks  of  the 
Six  Mile  creek,  directly  opposite  the  reservoir  of  water  called  the 
'Hemp  Hole,'  which  was  about  ten  feet  deep.  At  the  appointed 
time  and  place  for  the  deadly  combat  to  come  off  hundreds  of 
people,  of  all  sexes  and  ages,  were  found  awaiting  on  the  banks, 
where  they  soon  expected  to  see  the  green  turf  drink  the  blood  of 
the  vanquished.  The  good  sense  of  Mr.  Mack  and  the  seconds 
proved  most  valuable.  The  arrangements  and  order  were  perfect. 
The  combatants  approached  each  other,  as  is  usual,  to  shake  hands, 
when  Mr.  Mack,  taking  a  rather  strong  hold  of  the  man  of  the  sword, 
and  with  a  peculiar  look,  and  a  more  peculiar  trip  and  jerk,  sent  the 
offended  German  headlong  into  the  '  Hemp  Hole'  where  he  was 
received  without  a  dissenting  voice.  The  roars  of  laughter  which 
followed  the  maneuver  were  loud  and  hearty  and  we  doubt  not  are 
still  heard  by  the  man,  who  failing  in  subduing  his  rival  foe,  took  a 
hasty  and  precipitate  retreat  from  the  county." 

At  the  time  of  his  death  "The  American  Citizen"  said : 

"Hon.  Horace  Mack,  one  of  our  oldest  and  most  respected 
citizens,  died  in  this  village  on  Monday  afternoon  last.  Mr.  Mack 
was  a  merchant  among  us  many  years  ago,  in  which  capacity  he 
formed  an  extensive  business  acquaintance,  and  won  the  esteem  and 
respect  of  all.  He  was  elected  to  the  Assembly  of  this  state  from 
this  district  some  years  since,  the  duties  of  which  station  he  per-  j 
formed  with  ability.  In  1849  he  was  elected  clerk  of  this  county  in 
which  office  he  acquired  the  renewed  confidence  of  the  entire  com- 
munity.    As  a  private  citizen  and  a  neighbor   Mr.  Mack  has  ever 


Fifth   Generation.  399 

been  beloved,  and  he  leaves  behind  him  a  population  who  are    in 
sorrow  at  his  loss." 

The  following  is  from  the  "Ithaca  Journal  and  Advertiser"  of 
Sept.  1 2th,  1855  : 

"Mr.  Horace  Mack,  an  old  resident  of  our  village,  died  on 
Monday  afternoon  last,  of  prevailing  disease,  dysentery.  Mr.  Mack 
was  for  many  years  a  merchant  here,  and  in  that  position  he  won 
the  respect  of  the  entire  community.  He  was  elected  County  Clerk 
in  1849,  and  served  out  his  term  with  honor  to  himself,  and  in  all 
the  public  stations  which  he  has  filled,  he  has  ever  been  esteemed 
and  beloved." 

The  following  notice  of  Horace  Mack  appeared  in  the  same 
paper  (Ithaca  Journal  and  Advertiser)  of  date  Sept,  19th,  1855  : 

"As  our  paper  of  last  week  was  going  to  press  we  were  suddenly 
called  upon  to  briefly  record  the  decease  of  Horace  Mack,  Esq.,  one 
of  our  oldest  and  most  esteemed  citizens.  We  say  oldest,  not  in 
years,  but  as  a  citizen  of  Ithaca,  having  been  identified  with  its 
business  and  interests  for  the  space  of  nearly  forty  years. 

"He  was  brother  of  the  Hon.  Ebenezer  Mack,  who  established 
the  Journal  we  now  continue,  and  whose  decease  a  few  years  since 
we  recorded. 

"Mr.  Mack  was  born  at  Cooperstown,  Otsego  County,  January 
20th,  1799,  and  in  infancy  removed  with  his  father's  family  to 
Owego,  Tioga  County,  where  he  resided  until  the  year  181 7,  when 
he  made  Ithaca  his  residence  and  where,  with  slight  exceptions,  he 
resided  till  his  decease. 

"Mr.  Mack's  history  is  nearly  that  of  the  mercantile  history  of 
our  village.  On  his  coming  to  Ithaca  he  entered  the  mercantile 
house  of  Mr.  Levi  Leonard,  then  one  of  the  largest  operators  in  our 
infant  place,  where  he  remained  till  1820,  when  Jeremiah  S.  Beebe, 
Esq.,  from  New  York,  made  this  his  home,  and  Mr.  Mack  entered 
his  establishment  as  salesman  and  acted  as  such  until  the  year  1825, 
then  commenced  business  on  his  own  account  under  the  firm  of  H. 
Mack  &  Co.,  since  which  time,  excepting  1834-5 — when  on  account 
of  ill  health  he  made  his  residence  in  Spencer,  Tioga  County,  and 
gave  his  attention  to  farming   and  milling — his  history  was  that  of 


400  History  of  the  Mack  Family. 

the  mercantile  history  of  our  place  until  1848,  when  he  retired  from 
active  mercantile  life. 

"Politically,  Mr.  Mack  was  a  Democrat  of  the  old  school,  and 
in  that  way  largely  enjoyed  the  confidence  of  the  public.  He  repre- 
sented this  county  in  the  Legislature  in  1832,  during  the  stormy 
times  of  the  United  States  bank  question,  and  aided  in  sustaining 
our  state  institutions  against  that  gigantic  monied  power.  ^  He  was  a 
member  of  the  board  of  directors  of  the  Tompkins  County  Bank, 
from  its  organization  in  1836,  till  his  decease.  He  was  Clerk  of  the 
County  from  1850  to  1853. 

"The  deep  sympathy  manifested  by  the  pubHc  in  view  of  his 
demise,  is  the  fruits  of  a  life  not  alone  devoted  to  his  individual 
interest.  He  possessed  a  large  and  liberal  heart,  and  his  freedom 
from  selfishness  endeared  him  to  all  who  were  favored  by  his  acquaint- 
ance. In  him  the  young  man,  the  mechanic,  the  laboring  man, 
always  found  a  sympathizing  friend,  the  public  a  faithful  servant, 
and  society  one  of  its  most  desired  ornaments.  Of  him  as  a  hus- 
band, father  and  neighbor,  we  need  not  speak,  for  to  all  who  thus 
knew  him  his  loss  is  irreparable." 

In  the  same  issue  also  appeared  the  following : 

"At  a  regular  meeting  of  Ithaca  Lodge  No.  71,  held  at  their 
room,  on  Friday,  Sept.  14,  1855,  the  following  resolutions  reported 
by  Bros.  Selkreg,  Buckbee  and  Wells,  were  unanimously  adopted  : 

"Whereas,  The  Almighty  Ruler  of  the  Universe  has  seen  fit  in 
his  Providence  to  remove  from  active  hfe,  Horace  Mack,  a  member 
of  this  Lodge,  who  as  a  merchant  commanded  the  respect  and 
esteem  of  his  fellow  tradesmen,  whose  character  as  a  public  officer 
was  above  suspicion,  and  who  as  a  man  has  left  a  void  which  will

"Resolved,  That  while  the  shadow  of  the  grave  hides  all  his 
faults  if  any  ever  existed,  and  while  his  virtues  grow  brighter  from

cessful jewelry  business  until  his  building  was  destroyed  in  the 
great  fire  of  September,  1849.  As  he  was  in  poor  health  at  that

man  of  kind  and  amiable  sentiments  and  feelings,  he  was  universally 
esteemed.  He  was  for  many  years  a  faithful  member  of  the  Pres- 
byterian Church  and  he  lived  and  died  a  true  Christian.  He  leaves

where  he  had  as  instructors  in  science  Amos  Eaton  and  Chester 
Dewey,  and  was  graduated  in  1S18.  He  then  entered  the  Rensselaer 
Polytechnic  Institute  at  Troy,  N.  Y.,  and  was  graduated  in  1826. 
In  the  same  year  he  published  a  'Manual  of  Mineralogy  and  Geology' 
for  use  as  a  text-book  in  the  Institute.  He  now  studied  medicine  at 
the  Berkshire  Medical  School,  and  settled  as  a  practitioner  in 
Chester,  Mass.;  but  in  1828  removed  to  WiHiamstown,  Mass.,  and 
in  the  same  year  was  appointed  lecturer  on  Chemistry  in  the  college. 
In  1833  his  department  was  broadened,  a  chair  of  Natural  History 
being  founded,  but  he  was  retained  at  its  head  and  remained  pro- 
fessor of  Mineralogy  and  Geology  after  the  department  was  divided

in  1859,  serving  until  his  death.  From  1830  until  1839  he  held  the 
additional  position  of  junior  professor  in  the  Rensselaer  Institute. 
Dr.  Emmons  carried  on,  at  the  same  time,  an  extensive  practice  and 
rose  to  the  head  of  his  profession  in  Berkshire  County.  In  1836  he 
became  connected  with  the  geological  survey  of  New  York  State, 
having  been  appointed  by  Gov.  Marcy.  He  chose  the  second  dis- 
trict, which  included  the  Adirondack  mountains,  partly  because  that 
region  abounded  in  minerals ;  partly  because  it  gave  him  an  oppor- 
tunity to  verify  certain  conclusions  propounded  by  Professor  Eaton 
in  his  lectures  at  Williams  College.  These  related  to  a  system  of 
stratified  rocks,  constituting  a  subordinate  range  of  the  Appalachian 
system,  and  including  the  Berkshire,  Mass.,  and  Vermont  limestones. 
Professor  Emmons,  in  his  geological  report  published  in  1842, 
claimed  that  this  system  of  rocks,  which  he  named  the  Taconic,  after 
the  range  to  which  belong  Mt.  Washington  and  Greylock,  in  Massa- 
chusetts, underlaid  and  was  older  than  the  Siluvian  system.  This 
opened  a  controversy  with  other  geologists  that  continued  up  to  the 
time  of  his  death,  and  he  was  denounced  and  ridiculed  unmercifully  ; 
but  his  conclusions  were  strengthened  by  later  discoveries  and  are 
now  accepted,  in  part  at  least,  by  nearly  all  American  geologists.  In 
the  latter  part  of  1842,  by  appointment  of  Gov.  Seward,  Prof.  Emmons 
became  custodian  of  the  collections  made  by  the  survey,  which  had 
been  arranged  by  Prof.  Vanuxen  and  Prof.  Hall  at  Albany,  and 
aided  the  latter  in  completing  the  work  in  agriculture  and  paleontol- 
ogy. In  1843  he  gave  up  paleontology  to  devote  himself,  by  appoint- 
ment, to  an  investigation  of  the  agricultural  resources  of  New  York 
State,  and  published  five  reports  (1846-54)  treating  of  the  geology, 
climate,  soils,  agricultural  products,  insects  injurious  to  vegetation, 
and  allied  subjects.  He  resigned  his  custodianship  in  1848,  and 
about  the  year  185 1  was  appointed  State  Geologist  of  North  Caro- 
lina, and,  besides  'determining  the  probable  age  of  the  red  sandstone 
belt  that  stretches  from  the  Connecticut  valley  to  North  Carolina,' 
made  important  discoveries  of  fossils  in-  the  coal  measures  of  the 
Deep  and  Dan  rivers.  Three  volumes  of  reports  were  published 
(1856-60),  one  of  these  relating  to  the  geology  of  the  midland 
counties ;  the  other  two  to  the  agriculture  of  the  eastern  counties 
and  to  the  science  of  agriculture  in  general.  His  published  writings 
not   already   mentioned    are:    'Toology   of    Massachusetts'    (1840),

dealing  with  the  quadrupeds ;  'American  Geology'  (1855);  'Manual 
of  Geology'  (1859).  His  name  is  borne  by  one  of  the  Adirondack 
peaks  and  by  the  highest  summit  of  East  mountain  in  the  Berkshire 
hills.  He  remained  in  North  Carolina  after  the  Civil  War  broke  out, 
and  died  in  Brunswick  County  in  that  state."

15550.  Dr.  Levi  H.  Fenner.  He  was  born  at  Delaware 
Water  Gap,  Pa.  He  married,  April  8,  1841,  Arvilla  Myers.  14616. 
He  was  one  of  the  "Forty  Niners"  who  went  to  California  and 
accumulated  a  moderate  fortune  after  a  five  years'  stay.  He  returned 
home  and  studied  medicine  and  graduated  at  the  Cleveland  Medical 
College.  Homeopathic  physician.  Captain  in  the  New  York  State 
militia. 

At  the  time  of  his  death  a  Norwalk,  Ohio,  newspaper  said  of  him  : 

"The  many  friends  of  Dr.  L.  H.  Fenner  will  receive  the  intelli- 
gence of  his  death  with  deep  regret.  He  died  in  Cleveland  last 
Wednesday  night.  He  had  been  in  poor  health  about  two  months, 
and  a  short  time  previous  to  his  death  he  took  up  his  abode  at  the 
Cleveland  Water-Cure,  hoping  to  be  benefited  by  Hydropathic  treat- 
ment. But  all  efforts  were  unavailing,  and  he  has  been  cut  down  in 
the  full  vigor  of  manhood. 

"Dr.  Fenner  came  to  Norwalk  a  little  more  than  a  year  ago  and 
became  associated  with  Dr.  Tifft  in  the  practice  of  medicine.  His 
correct  and  gentlemanly  deportment,  together  with  the  strict  atten- 
tion which  he  paid  to  the  practice  of  his  profession,  caused  him  to  be 
highly  esteemed  by  our  citizens  generally.  In  his  death,  we  feel 
that  our  town  has  lost  one  of  its  best  inhabitants." 

When  he  and  his  companions  started  from  New  York  City  they 
purchased  the  ship  Comorro  in  which  they  made  the  journey  around 
Cape  Horn  to  San  Francisco.  He  engaged  in  business  there  and 
bought  the  interests  of  his  partners  in  the  ship.     He  loaded  the  ship

with  hides  and  started  it  for  New  York  City,  under  Capt.  Nathaniel 
Gorden.  The  Captain  threw  the  hides  overboard  and  sailed  for  the 
coast  of  Africa  and  engaged  in  the  slave  trade.  Mrs.  Fenner  corre- 
sponded with  the  American  Consul  at  Rio  Janeiro,  Brazil,  and  the 
Captain  was  arrested,  tried,  convicted  and  executed.  She  was  chiefly 
instrumental  in  securing  his  conviction. 

The  following  is  a  copy  of  a  document  in  connection  with  the 
affair  which  proves  the  value  of  her  testimony  at  the  trial : 

"U.  S.  Marshal's  Office, 
"Southern  District  of  New  York. 
"New  York,  July  3rd,  1866. 
"I  certify  that  previous  to  the  Execution   of  Nathaniel  Gordon, 
the  African  Slave  Trader,  in  this  City,  in  February,  1862,  I  delivered 
to  President  Lincoln  certain   papers   furnished   me   by   Mrs.  Fenner, 
disclosing  the  fact,  that   Gordon  had   stolen   the   Brig  'Camargo,'  be- 
longing to   her    husband,  and  proceeded  with    her  to  the  coast  of 
Africa,   and  after  taking  on  board   a  cargo  of  negroes,  thence  pro- 
ceeded to  the   coast   of  Brazil.     After  discharging   the   negroes  and 
selling  them,  he  burned  the  vessel,  and  made  his   escape  in  women's 
clothes.     These  papers  were  delivered  to  the  President  by  me,  about 
a  week  previous  to  Gordon's  Execution,  in  order  to  prevent  a  com- 
mutation of  his  sentence. 

"RoBT.  Murray, 
"Seal.  U.  S.  Marshal." 

The  New  York  Tribune  of  Dec.  17,  1868,  said: 

"A  writer  in  The  Atlantic  Monthly,  referring  to  the  execution  of 
Gordon,  the  slave  trader,  says  :  'Whatever  Gordon's  life  may  have 
been  worth  to  him  or  to  his  friends,  I  think  this  country  put  it  to  a 
very  good  use  when  she  hanged  him.  A  storm  of  protests  was 
made  against  his  death.  Twenty-five  thousand  people  petitioned 
Abraham  Lincoln  to  spare  that  man's  life,  and  Abraham  Lincoln 
refused.  Gordon  was  hanged.  All  through  the  little  ports  and  big 
ports  of  the  United  States  it  was  known  that  a  slave  trader  had  been 
hanged.  And  when  that  was  known,  the  American  slave  trade 
ended.  All  up  and  down  little  African  rivers  that  you  never  heard 
the  names  of  it  was  known  that  an  American  slave  trader  had  been 
hanged,  and  cowardly  pirates  trembled,  and  brave   seamen  cheered

when  they  heard  it.  Mothers  of  children  thanked  such  gods  as  they 
knew  how  to  thank,  and  slaves  shut  up  in  barracoons,  waiting  for 
their  voyage,  got  signal  that  something  had  happened  which  was  to 
give  them  freedom.  That  something  was  that  Gordon  was  hanged. 
So  far  that  little  candle  threw  its  beams.'  " 

Dr.  Fenner  died  April  28,  1858,  at  Cleveland,  Ohio.  Residence 
Ludlowville,  N.  Y.,  and  Norwalk,  Ohio. 

Children  : 

15551.  Helen  Augusta.      Born  Feb.  13.  1842.     Died  March  4,  1845.

15555.  Samuel  Love,  Esq.  He  was  born  in  1797.  He 
married  (3d),  Sept.  9,  1879,  Arvilla  (Myers)  Fenner.      146 16. 

The  History  of  Four  Counties,  so-called,  says  of  him  : 

"Prominent  among  the  members  of  the  Tompkins  County  bar, 
in  days  past,  and  the  pioneer  of  that  respectable  body,  in  fact,  is 
Samuel  Love,  who  for  upwards  of  half  a  century  practiced  law  in 
Ithaca.  Samuel  Love  was  born  in  Kingsbury,  Washington  County, 
N,  Y.,  July  28,  1797,  and  is  consequently  now  (1878)  in  the  eighty- 
second  year  of  his  age.  His  father,  John  Love,  was  born  in  Rhode 
Island,  in  June,  1764,  and  his  mother,  Annar  Burnett  Love,  was  also 
a  native  of  that  state.  In  January,  1813,  the  family  removed  from 
Washington  County  to  the  town  of  Groton  (then  Locke)  where 
Samuel  received  the  rudiments  of  his  education  at  the  public  schools. 
His  father  died  in  1823,  and  his  mother  in  1842,  and  the  only  sur- 
viving members  of  his  family  direct  are  one  brother,  Isaac  Love,  of 
Ithaca,  and  a  sister,  Esther,  now  the  wife  of  John  D.  Fuller  of 
Moravia,  N.  Y.  Mr.  Love  commenced  the  study  of  law  with  Lewis 
Tooker,  and  completed  his  legal  studies  in  the  office  of  Alpha  H. 
Shaw.  He  was  admitted  to  the  bar  of  Tompkins  County  in  1824, 
and  two  years  later  was  made  a  practitioner  in  the  Supreme  Court 
of  the  State.  He  entered  upon  the  duties  of  his  profession  with  a 
commendable  determination  to  succeed,  and  after  a  long  and  suc- 
cessful practice  has  nominally  retired  on  a  well-earned  competency. 
In  1828,  Mr.  Love  was  elected  Clerk  of  Tompkins  County,  and  such 
was  the  satisfaction  he  gave  in  that  responsible  office  that  he  was 
re-elected  in  1831,  serving  in  all  six  years.  In  1835  he  was  appointed 


426  History  of  the  Mack  Family. 

District  Attorney,  which  position  he  retained  six  years,  performing 
its  duties  impartially  and  well.  The  main  characteristics  in  the 
career  of  Samuel  Love  has  been  a  desire  to  discharge  all  public  and 
private  duties  in  a  conscientious  and  upright  manner,  to  maintain  a 
reputation  for  individual  rectitude  and  integrity,  and,  in  short,  to 
make  a  personal  application  of  the  Golden  Rule,  believing  that  the 
basic  fabric  of  moral  and  civil  law  is  founded  upon  that  grand  old 
principle."

father's  death,  he  remained  but  one  year.  He  conducted  a  manu- 
facturing business  from  1856  to  i860,  and  was  thereafter  employed 
in  various  local  enterprises  until  1882.  Since  the  latter  date  he  has 
served  as  Assistant  in  the  Land  Department  of  Cornell  University. 

"Aside  from  occasional  contributions  to  the  local  press,  his

The  Owego  Gazette  of  May  30,  1878,  contained  the  following 
interesting  letter  from  him : 

"Ithaca,  May  25th,  1878. 
"Messrs.  Beebe  &  Kingman  : 

"The  dates  of  the  file  of  the  old  American  Farmer  in  my  pos- 
session are  from  August  29th,  1810,  to  July  2d,  181 1, — vol.  8,  Nos. 
8  to  47  inclusive — whole  Nos.  367  to  411.  All  have  the  cut  of  an 
eagle  in  the  heading,  such  as  described  by  you.  The  legend  borne 
in  the  beak  of  the  bird  I  have  deciphered  to  be  'Pleuribus  Unum.' 
E  seems  to  have  gone  astray.  As  mention  was  made  in  your  article 
of  23d  of  my  father's  apprenticeship  to  the  printing  business,  and  its 
abrupt  termination  at  his  father's  death  in  18 14,.  I  would  merely  add 
that  he  (Horace)  was  again  apprenticed,  but  to  the  mercantile,  not 
printing,  business,  to  Horatio  Ross,  for  five  years  from  Jan.  20,  1815. 
This  service  was  performed  for  a  yearly  salary,  increasing  from  eighty 
dollars  for  the  first  year  to  two  hundred  for  the  fifth.  In  addition 
Mr.  Ross  agreed,  in  the  language  of  the  'Indenture'  (now  before  me,) 
*to  find  and  allow  the  said  Horace  Mack,  meat,  drink,  washing  and 
lodging  during  the  said  term  fit  and  convenient  for  the  said  appren- 
tice.' On  the  other  hand,  as  to  the  apprentice,  it  reads,  'at  cards, 
dice,  or  any  unlawful  games,  he  shall  not  play.  Taverns  or  ale 
houses    he    shall    not    frequent.     Matrimony    he    shall    not    contract.

document  is  witnessed  by  Stephen  Mack  and  Wm.  Piatt.  By  the 
commission  to  Stephen  Mack,  Esq.,  which  I  have,  dated  Nov.  nth, 
181 2,  and  signed  by  Daniel  D.  Tompkins,  the  said  Mack  was  made 
first  Judge  of  the  Court  of  Common  Pleas  in  and  for  the  county  of 
Broome.  Emanuel  Coryell  was  appointed  first  Judge  of  Tioga 
County  March  31,  18 10,  and  was  succeeded  by  Judge  Gamaliel  H. 
Barstow,  June  22,  18 18.  It  appears,  therefore,  that  Owego  was  then

1 48 1 2.     Merchant  for  many  years.     Supervisor. 

Landmarks  of  Tompkins  County  says  of  him  : 

"The  first  of  the  Hibbards  to  come  to  this  county  was  Henry 
Hibbard,  a  native  .of  Winham,  Conn.,  who  came  here  in  18 12,  and 
in  partnership  with  Julius  Ackley  established  the  first  hat  manufactory 
in  Ithaca,  later  adding  a  store  in  the  same  line.  In  18 16  he  married 
Rhoda  Ackley,  who  died  without  issue,  and  he  married  second, 
Nancy  Tillotson,  in  18 19,  by  whom  he  had  two  children  :  Mary,  who 
married  Thomas  St.  John;  and  Henry  Fitch  Hibbard.  Timothy, 
the  father  of  Henry,  first  mentioned,  came  to  this  county  about  1818, 
and  settled  on  a  farm  in  the  northeastern  portion  of  this  town,  which 
settlement  has  ever  since  born  the  name  of  Hibbard's  Corners.  He 
died  in  1837.  Henry  Hibbard  was  one  of  the  most  prominent  busi- 
ness men  in  the  early  history  of  this  city  (Ithaca),  taking  an  import- 
ant part  in  all  enterprises  for  the  public  good.  He  was  heavily 
interested  in  real  estate,  and  in  1828,  in  connection  with  Ackley  & 
Beebe  built  the  Clinton  House  which  still  stands  as  a  landmark  of 
the  county.  He  died  in  1863.  Henry  F.  Hibbard  was  for  a  number 
of  years  the  teller  in  the  old  Ithaca  Bank,  and  later  conducted  a 
general  store.  In  1853,  in  company  with  Thomas  P.  St.  John,  he 
established  a  factory  for  the  manufacture  of  sewing  silks,  which 
until  1861  was  one  of  the  leading  industries  of  this  section,  at  that 
year,  however,  he  returned  to  the  mercantile  business.  He  was  at 
one  time  greatly  interested  in  speculation,  but  during  his  later  years 
withdrew  from  all  active  business  with  the  exception  of  his  connection 
with  the  Savings  Bank  of  which  he  was  a  founder.  He  was  a  Demo- 
crat and  served  as  Supervisor  at  one  time." 

At  the  time  of  his  death  the  Ithaca  Journal  said  of  him  : 

"In  his  death  Ithaca  loses  one  of  its  foremost  leaders  in  all 
tliought  and  action  regarding  pubHc  projects  and  its  best  advocate 
in  all  things  looking  to  its  weal.  A  man  of  sympathy,  kindly 
impulses  and  untiring  energy — his  loss  will  prove  a  greater  one  than 
many  of  its  citizens  endowed  with  greater  wealth.     The  organizer  of 


Sixth   Generation.  433 

a  yet  young  manufacturing  business,  daily  increasing  in  importance, 
and  in  its  demands  upon  his  moments  and  energies,  he  never  refused 
public  demand  upon  either  his  time  or  purse.  He  was  truly  a  warm 
hearted  friend,  a  man  of  rare  abilities,  a  companionable  man  and  a 
public  spirited  citizen  in  all  that  the  term  implies.  To  those  who 
know  him  best  his  memory  will  remain  dearest." 

He  died  Aug.  4,  1880,  from  injuries  received  on  night  of 
reception  of  the  victorious  Cornell  crew.     Residence  Ithaca,  N.  Y.

15900 — 255.  John  Warren  Mack.  (Elisha^,  Warren'*,  Elisha^ 
Josiah",  John'.)  14562.  15430.  Secretary  and  Director  in  Under- 
writer Printing  and  Publishing  Co.  Director  in  Weekly  Underwriter 
Co.  Member  of  Reform  Club,  American  Geographical  Society, 
Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art  and  American  Museum  of  Natural 
History. 

At  the  time  of  his  death  the  Weekly  Underwriter  said  editorially  : 

"The  life-record  of  our  friend  and  associate,  who  died  this  week, 
appears  on  another  page.  It  is  full  of  the  evidences  of  high  principle, 
noble  endeavor  and  the  achievement  of  purpose.  Mr.  Mack's 
methods  were  quiet,  but  what  he  aimed  to  do  he  followed  with  per- 
sistence, and  generally  accomplished.  We  believe  that  no  man  in 
our  vocation  was  more  liked  and  respected  by  those  whom  he  had  to 
meet  in  business.  The  letters  which  have  spontaneously  come  to  us 
from  prominent  underwriters,  deploring  Mr.  Mack's  untimely  death, 
show  that  he  was  indeed  to  them,  as  he  must  have  been  to  all, 
persona  grata.     Further,  no   man   could   ever  justly  say  that  he  had 


Sixth   Generation.  459 

done  him  wrong ;  very  many  could  say,  as  did  the  citizens  of  the 
town  whose  good  order  and  clean  poHtics  he  defended,  as  an  editor, 
with  his  Ufe  at  stake,  that  his  career  was  a  benefaction.  To  those 
who  were  nearer  his  service  was  a  long  blessing.  Measured  by  these 
standards  Mr.  Mack's  life  was  a  success  and  an  example.  It  can  be 
summed  up — the  life  of  an  earnest,  manly.  Christian  gentleman." 

The  same  paper  in  another  column  said : 

"John  Warren  Mack  died  at  his  home,  471  Lenox  avenue,  in 
this  city,  early  on  Sunday  morning,  after  an  illness  from  typhoid 
fever  of  nearly  seven  weeks.  His  last  appearance  in  this  office  was 
on  Wednesday,  October  10,  when  he  attended  to  his  usual  duties, 
although  he  was  already  suffering  from  the  first  effects  of  his  malady. 
It  was  a  serious  case  from  the  beginning,  and  its  progress  was 
watched  with  much  anxiety  by  his  family  and  friends,  and  when  the 
fever  had  run  its  course  it  left  him  too  weak  to  rally.  All  that  the 
best  medical  skill  and  the  attentions  of  a  devoted  wife  and  children 
could  do  were  of  no  avail. 

"Mr.  Mack  came  from  sturdy  old  New  England  stock,  and  was 
born  at  Bath,  Steuben  County,  N,  Y.,  March  11,  1848.  His  boyhood 
education  was  principally  obtained  at  the  Haverling  Union  School, 
at  Bath,  where  he  was  prepared  for  college.  He  entered  Cornell 
University  in  his  twentieth  year  and  was  graduated  with  the  class  of 
1872,  taking  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science.  Although  his 
natural  bent  was  for  journalism,  and  his  first  venture  in  that  direction 
was  a  brief  experience  at  the  case,  the  early  years  of  his  life  after 
leaving  the  university  were  devoted  to  education.  He  had  a  taste 
for  the  acquirement  of  languages  and  became  a  proficient  French, 
German  and  Italian  scholar.  These  languages  and  the  higher 
mathematics  he  taught  at  the  Ithaca  Academy  and  subsequently  at 
the  Delaware  Literary'  Institute.  He  was  also  for  some  time  princi- 
pal of  the  North  Cohocton  public  school. 

"The  entry  of  Mr.  Mack  into  the  vocation  of  his  choice  was  as 
editor  of  the  Bayonne,  N.  J.,  Herald.  This  was  about  the  year  1881. 
In  1883  he  removed  to  Hornellsville,  N.  Y.,  to  accept  the  post  of 
business  manager  of  the  Herald,  and,  with  a  short  incursion  into  life 
insurance  as  the  local  agent  of  the  New  York  Life  insurance  com- 
pany, he  continued  with  that  paper  until   1889,  being  the  last  two

years  its  editor.  While  he  was  occupying  that  position  it  became 
his  duty  to  attack  the  poUtical  rascaUties  then  rife  at  Hornellsville, 
and  his  fearless  course  so  exasperated  the  gang  in  power  that  his 
editorial  room  was  entered  one  evening  when  he  was  at  work  and  he 
was  brutally  beaten  and  injured  severely.  The  indignation  of  the 
community  over  the  assault  and  its  approval  of  his  conduct  as  a 
conscientious  journalist  more  than  compensated  him  for  his  suffering 
in  its  behalf.  He  never  failed  to  put  into  practice  his  conception  of 
what  was  right,  no  matter  what  might  be  the  possible  consequences 
that  threatened. 

"His  public  career  and  his  reputation  as  a  careful  and  intelli- 
gent statistician  led  to  his  call  to  the  service  of  the  Government  in 
the  taking  of  the  census  of  1890.  He  was  appointed  to  the  division 
of  insurance  statistics,  acting  as  chief  under  the  direction  of  Special 
Agent  Charles  A.  Jenney.  In  1894,  when  the  census  work  was  com- 
pleted, Mr.  Mack  accepted  an  offer  to  join  the  staff  of  The  Weekly 
Underwriter,  and  became  its  outside  business  representative.  In 
that  capacity  he  was  known  to  and  highly  respected  by  underwriters 
throughout  the  United  States.  He  was  a  director  and  the  secretary 
of  the  corporation  by  which  the  paper  is  published. 

"Mr.  Mack  was  an  unobtrusive  professor  of  religion,  and  was 
from  early  manhood  a  member  of  the  Presbyterian  communion.  On 
becoming  a  resident  of  the  city  of  New  York,  in  1894,  he  connected 
himself  with  the  Harlem  Presbyterian  Church,  and  at  the  time  of  his 
death  was  its  senior  elder.  His  strong  business  sense  was  of  great 
value  in  the  management  of  its  secular  affairs.  In  this  beautiful 
church  edifice  the  funeral  services  were  held  on  last  Tuesday  even- 
ing. They  were  opened  by  the  present  pastor,  and  the  funeral 
sermon  was  preached  by  his  old  pastor  and  friend,  who  was  in  charge 
when  he  became  a  member,  and  who  paid  a  just  and  eloquent  tribute 
to  Mr.  Mack's  qualities  as  a  man  and  a  Christian." 

From  the  numerous  tributes  to  Mr.  Mack  by  his  brethren  of  the 
insurance  press,  the  following  have  been  selected  as  expressive  of 
their  sense  of  the  loss  which  has  fallen  on  the  profession  and  the 
community  by  his  death  : 

From  the  Insurance  Age  : 

"As  we  go  to  press  we  learn  of   the  death,  after  a  lingering  ill-

ness,  of  John  W.  Mack,  of  The  Weekly  Underwriter.  In  this  brief 
space  we  can  only  add  our  small  tribute  to  the  testimonials  which  all 
who  knew  him  are  ready  to  pay  to  the  splendid  character  and  sub- 
stantial worth  of  this  Nature's  nobleman  who  has  just  passed  on.  As 
we  lay  him  to  rest,  let  it  not  be  only  with  brimming  eye  and  breaking 
heart,  but  also  with  joy  at  the  remembrance  of  an  .upright  and  spot- 
less Ufe,  over  which  the  King  of  Terrors  can  never  wholly  triumph.'* 

From  The  Chronicle  : 

"He  was  a  gentleman,  was  John  W.  Mack,  a  Christian  gentle- 
man, and  a  newspaper  man  of  thorough  training,  rare  attainments 
and  highest  class.  He  was  one  of  those  men  whose  presence  com- 
manded respect  and  consideration,  because  those  whom  he  met  in 
social  or  business  intercourse  recognized  instinctively  a  nature  of 
fine  instincts  and  high  ideals  coupled  with  good  taste  and  common 
sense.  His  death  leaves  a  distinct  gap  in  this  profession,  which 
needs  just  such  men  as  he.  Aside  from  our  sense  of  personal  loss 
at  the  death  of  a  friend,  we  join  with  the  fraternity  in  mourning  the 
loss  of  a  sterling  character." 

From  The  Record  : 

"He  was  a  man  of  high  character  and  fine  attainments,  a  grad- 
uate of  Cornell  University  ;  and  although  of  a  retiring  disposition  he 
made  and  kept  a  host  of  warm  friends  among  insurance  men  and 
his  journalistic  associates." 

From  the  Philadelphia  Intelligencer : 

"John  W.  Mack  was  a  true  gentleman.  He  was  also  a  trained 
and  capable  newspaper  man  who  understood  his  work  well  and  did 
it  quietly  but  effectively.  The  one  thing,  however,  that  always 
impressed  you  when  you  met  Mr.  Mack  for  the.  first  time,  and  which 
grew  on  you  the  more  times  you  met  him,  was  that  he  was  a  gentle- 
man. Clean  cut,  positive  as  to  his  convictions,  but  kindly  and 
courteous  in  his  expression  of  his  views  and  in  his  relations  to  those 
about  him." 

From  Thrift : 

"The  news  of  the  death  of  Mr.  John  W,  Mack,  the  secretary  of 
the  Underwriter  Printing  and    Publishing    Company,    on    the    25th 


462  History  of  the  Mack  Famii,y. 

inst.,  was  received  with  general  regret  by  his  co-workers  in  insurance 
journalism,  and  has  called  forth  many  tributes  to  Mr.  Mack's  memory 
from  prominent  life  and  fire  underwriters." 

From  the  Insurance  Advocate  : 

"A  scholarly  and  high  minded  gentleman,  Mr.  Mack  was  a 
credit  to  insurance  journalism  and  gained  the  high  respect  of  all  with 
whom  he  had  dealings." 

From  The  Surveyor : 

"While  the  deceased  was,  perhaps,  not  as  widely  known  as 
some  others,  because  of  his  retiring  disposition,  he  was  in  his  per- 
sonal character  one  of  the  shining  lights  of  the  business  of  insurance 
journalism.  His  death  came  as  a  shock  to  many  who  esteemed  him 
greatly  for  his  gentle  sincerity  and  the  abilities  that  his  modesty 
could  not  conceal." 

From  Views : 

"The  death  of  Mr.  John  Warren  Mack,  secretary  of  the  Under- 
writer Printing  and  Publishing  Company,  New  York,  who  succumbed 
to  typhoid  fever  the  morning  of  the  25th  ult.,  is  deeply  deplored  in 
insurance  circles.  The  practice  of  uniform  courtesy  and  nicety  to 
his  colleagues,  his  unobtrusive  nature  and  gentle  manner,  won  their 
esteem  and  friendship.  The  Weekly  Underwriter  has,  indeed,  lost  a 
good  staff,  and  insurance  journalism  a  conscientious  and  talented  co- 
laborer." 

From  the  Insurance  Monitor  : 

"Insurance  journalism  lost  an  honored  representative  in  Mr.  J. 
W.  Mack,  who  died  on  November  25  at  his  home  in  New  York.  Mr. 
Mack  became  connected  with  The  Weekly  Underwriter  in  1894. 
Prior  to  that  connection,  he  had  been  engaged  in  journalism  for 
many  years.  He  was  an  expert  statistician,  and  was  employed  by 
the  Government  in  the  taking  of  the  census  of  1890,  under  Mr. 
Charles  A.  Jenny.  Mr,  Mack  had  the  respect  and  esteem  of  all  with 
whom  he  came  in  contact,  and  his  untimely  death  is  mourned  by 
many  friends." 


Sixth   Generation.  463 

From  the  Insurance  Herald  : 

"Mr.  Mack  had  been  with  The  Weekly  Underwriter  since  1894 
and  has  contributed  to  some  of  the  most  important  features  of  its 
work.  He  was  a  graduate  of  Cornell  University  and  had  been 
successively  printer,  teacher  and  principal  of  schools,  life  insurance 
agent,  editor  and  business  manager  of  journals  in  Bayonne,  N.  J., 
and  Hornellsville,  N.  Y.,  and  special  insurance  census  supervisor  of 
the  Government  from  1890  to  1894,  previous  to  his  connection  with 
The  Weekly  Underwriter.  Mr.  Mack  was  in  the  prime  of  life,  aged 
fifty-two,  and  will  be  greatly  missed  and  deeply  mourned." 

From  The  Vigilant : 

"Mr.  Mack  was  able  and  conscientious  ;  everything  he  undertook 
to  do  he  did  well.  He  was  always  a  gentleman,  a  good  citizen  and 
a  loyal  endeavorer  for  righteousness." 

From  The  Standard  : 

"Few  men  will  be  more  genuinely  missed  from  the  ranks  of 
insurance  journalism  than  John  Warren  Mack,  of  The  Weekly 
Underwriter,  New  York,  who  died  on  Sunday  of  typhoid  fever.  A 
man  of  wide  information,  a  skilled  linguist,  a  gentleman  always,  and 
an  enthusiast  in  his  profession,  of  which  he  was  a  modest  and  yet 
conspicuous  ornament,  his  loss  in  the  midst  of  a  successful  and 
honorable  career  will  be  deeply  deplored  in  journalistic  and  insurance 
circles,  in  which  he  was  highly  and  deservedly  esteemed.  *  * 
Mr.  Mack's  journalistic  work  was  of  the  highest  order — accurate, 
polished,  and  always  honest.  His  loss  will  be  felt  especially  by  his 
colleagues  on  The  Weekly  Underwriter,  who  were  greatly  attached 
to  him  for  his  solid  and  endearing  qualities.  The  funeral  services 
were  held  in  the  Madison  Avenue  Presbyterian  Church,  New  York, 
on  Tuesday  evening,  and  were  attended  by  a  large  number  of 
insurance  journalists  and  insurance  men.  At  a  meeting  of  insurance 
journalists  in  the  office  of  C.  J.  Smith.  Mutual  Life  Building,  on 
Tuesday,  appropriate  resolutions  were  adopted."

"Dear  Sir— 

"I  know  nothing  of  the  McDougals  in  connection  with  the 
Macks ;  was  in  hopes  you  had  discovered  something.  I  only  saw  a 
mention  of  it  in  some  little  town  history.  'Gilsum,'  N.  H.,  I  believe. 
My  grandmother  (step-grandmother),  Elizabeth,  always  insisted  that 
we  could  go  right  back  to  'Rob  Roy,'  and  seemed  to  know  much 
about  the  family,  but  not  one  of  us  paid  much  attention  to  it.  I 
have  endeavored  to  recall  who  my  grandfather's  sister.  Wealthy, 
married,  but  1  cannot.

"Did  your  father,  in  his  accounts  of  the  family,  ever  intimate 
that  our  name  was  not  Mack,  but  McDougal  in  Scotland  ?  My 
cousin,  George  Mack,  writes  me  that  our  grandmother  said  it  was 
McGregor    and    that   we    were    direct    descendants    of    Rob     Roy

McGregor,  but  no  documentary  evidence  to  this  effect  was  found 
among  her  papers.  I  have  found  once  in  the  Historical  Ubrary  that 
our  name  was  probably  McDougal  from  the  fact  that  the  early  Macks 
used  the  same  crest  as  the  McDougals  of  Scotland,  a  bear's  head 
erased.     I  am

graduated  at  Cornell  University,  B,  S.,  1878.  He  married  Mary 
Wand  of  Buffalo,  N.  Y.  Principal  of  High  School  and  Superin- 
tendent of  Schools,  Bedford,  Iowa,  188 1-4.  Lawyer.  Director  in 
the  Bank  of  Niagara,  Bank  of  Suspension  Bridge,  Power  City  Bank 
and  Niagara  County  Savings  Bank  of  Niagara  Falls,  N.  Y. 

Men  of  New  York  (1898)  says  of  him  : 

"Eugene  Gary,  prominent  in  the  legal  and  political  circles  of 
Niagara  Falls,  was  born  in  Dunkirk,  N.  Y.,  somewhat  less  than  forty 
years  ago.  After  attending  the  pubUc  schools  of  his  native  place,  he 
obtained  higher  instruction  at  Cornell  University,  graduating  thence 
in  1878  with  the  degree  of  B.  S.  He  then  devoted  a  year  to  business 
in  his  father's  hardware  store  at  Dunkirk,  and  the  winter  of  1879-80' 
he  passed  as  principal  of  a  school  at  Sinclairville,  Chautauqua 
County,  N.  Y. 

"By  this  time  Mr.  Gary  had  decided  to  make  the  practice  of  law 
his  life-work.  Entering  the  office  of  Judge  Thomas  P.  Grosvenor, 
therefore,  at  Dunkirk,  he  applied  himself  with  characteristic  zeal  to 
the  task  of  mastering  legal  science.  He  continued  his  reading  until 
August,  1 88 1,   when   the  position   of  Superintendent   of   Schools  at 


478  History  of  the  Mack  Family. 

Bedford,  Iowa,  was  offered  to  him.  He  accepted  this  opportunity, 
and  managed  the  pubUc  schools  of  Bedford  with  marked  efficiency 
for  the  next  three  years.  He  found  a  Uttle  time  for  his  law  studies 
during  these  years  in  the  West,  and  had  no  difficulty  in  passing  the 
bar  examinations  at  Buffalo  in  June,  1884. 

"From  November,  1884,  until  October  of  the  next  year,  Mr. 
Gary  practiced  law  at  Forestville,  near  Dunkirk,  in  partnership  with 
Daniel  Sherman.  Niagara  Falls  was  already  beginning  to  give 
promise  of  its  later  industrial  supremacy,  and  Mr.  Gary  resolved  to 
settle  there.  Associating  himself,  accordingly,  with  Henry  G.  Tucker, 
he  practiced  at  the  Falls  in  the  firm  of  Tucker  &  Gary  from  October, 
1885,  until  May,  1887.  For  the  next  six  years  he  carried  on  a  large 
practice  without  partnership  assistance.  Since  May  i,  1893,  he  has 
been  associated  with  William  G.  Wallace  in  the  well-known  firm  of 
Gary  &  Wallace.  He  has  become  a  familiar  figure  ia  the  Gourts  of 
Niagara  Gounty,  and  is  widely  known  as  an  able  and  trustworthy 
attorney. 

"Outside  of  his  professional  work  Mr.  Gary  has  been  especially 
interested  in  politics.  He  was  a  member  of  the  executive  committee 
of  the  Ghautauqua  Gounty  Republican  Gommittee  in  1884.  In  the 
fall  of  that  year  he  edited  the  poHtical  columns  of  a  Dunkirk  news- 
paper. Since  going  to  Niagara  Falls  he  has  been  on  the  Republican 
Gity  Gommittee  several  times,  and  in  the  important  campaign  of  1896 
he  was  chairman  of  that  committee.  He  was  one  of  the  Alternate 
Delegates  to  the  Republican  National  Gonvention  at  St.  Louis  in  the 
same  year.  He  has  been  a  delegate  to  every  Republican  judiciary 
convention  in  his  district  for  the  last  ten  years,  and  was  chairman  of 
the  convention  in  1895.  Notwithstanding  his  activity  and  import- 
ance in  the  counsels  of  the  Republican  party,  he  has  never  cared  to 
hold  public  office.  He  has,  however,  been  a  member  of  the  Niagara 
Falls  Board  of  Fducation  since  March,  1896. 

"Mr.  Gary  has  been  somewhat  active  in  the  business  life  of 
Niagara  Falls  as  well  as  in  law  and  politics.  He  holds  directorates 
in  Power  Gity  Bank,  and  in  the  Bank  of  Niagara ;  and  acts  as 
attorney  for  these  institutions,  and  for  the  Bank  of  Suspension  Bridge. 
He  is  a  Trustee  of  the  Niagara  Gounty  Savings  Bank,  and  President 
of  the  Niagara  Falls  Memorial  Hospital."

She  was  educated  at  Oberlin  College.  She  graduated,  Chautauqua 
Course,  1S82.     Real  estate  dealer. 

From  Spencer  (Iowa)  News,  Feb.  8,  1894: 

"A  biographical  sketch  of  Mrs.  E.  B.  Higley  read  at  the  Farmers' 
Institute  last  week. 

"It  seems  fitting  that  we  turn  aside,  for  a  few  moments,  from  the 
regular  business  of  the  day  and  give  our  attention  for  the  intervals  to 
a  review  of  the  life  and  works  of  one  whom  every  person  here  must 
remember  with  deepest  respect  as  well  as  with  gratitude  for  the  work 
done  in  this  institution,  especially  in  advancing  the  work  of  the 
special  department  now  under  discussion. 

"Miss  Julia  M.  Clark  was  a  native  of  Windham,  Ohio.  Born  on 
a  midsummer  day  when  the  world  was  at  its  loveliest,  her  infant  eyes 
opened  on  a  world  of  flowers  and  all  her  life  she  has  held  no  task 
sweeter  than  the  cultivation  and  study  of  these  beautiful  gifts  from  an 
all-wise  and  good  Creator.  She  was  educated  at  the  academy  of  her 
native  town  and  took  the  preparatory  course  of  Oberlin  College,  but 
owing  to  financial  reverses  in  her  father's  family  she  was  compelled 
to  give  up  her  cherished  dream  of  college  life  and  bravely  took  up  the 
task  of  teaching  to  assist  in  educating  the  young  brothers  and  sisters, 
of  which  there  were  six,  she  being  the  eldest. 

"Always  a  close  and  thorough  student,  her  studies  did  not  end 
with  her  school  days  but  have  continued  through  all  her  useful  and 
busy  life.  In  later  years  she  took  up  the  Chautauqua  work  and  com- 
pleted the  four  years'  course  of  reading  in  1882,  just  before  removing 
to  Iowa,  but  ever  since  the  organization  of  a  C.  L.  S*C.  circle  in 
Spencer  she  has  been  an  active  and  useful  member,  and  held  a  place 
of  honor  in  the  hearts  of  all  her  associates. 

"In  1853  she  was  married  to  Edward  B.  Higley,  and  for  forty 
years  she  has  shared  all  his  joys  and  sorrows.  She  was  always  ready 
to  give  her  influence  in  the  cause  of  temperance.  In  the  dark  days 
of  our  republic  when   war  and  bloodshed  were  over  the    land,  her

time,  work  and  influence  were  given  to  aid  tlie  national  cause,  and 
being  the  possessor  of  a  remarkably  rich  contralto  voice  she  was  the 
leading  member  of  a  musical  club  which  gave  from  time  to  time 
excellent  concerts  for  the  purpose  of  raising  funds  to  supply  the  neces- 
sary help  to  soldiers  in  field  and  hospital.  She  was  a  devoted  Chris- 
tian and  a  member  of  the  Congregational  church  at  Windham,  from 
which  she  took  letters  to  the  same  church  in  this  place.  She  first 
came  to  Spencer  in  1882  but  went  to  Mason  City  the  following  year 
and  remained  until  1886,  since  which  time  her  home  has  been  in 
Spencer. 

"Active  in  charities  both  in  public  and  private,  her  hand  was 
ready  and  quick  to  aid  any  one  in  distress.  Practical  in  all  things  if 
she  had  work  to  do  she  gave  it  where  the  remuneration  would  supply 
the  greatest  need. 

"She  gave  her  aid  to  every  good  cause  for  the  advancement  of 
her  fellow  beings  intellectually,  financially  or  socially,  and  was  quick 
to  see  and  advocate  any  measure  to  raise  the  standard  of  life  in  those 
around  her.  Many  will  remember  the  effort  put  forth  some  years 
ago  for  purchasing  and  beautifying  a  portion  of  land  for  a  city  park. 
Her  efforts  were  not  crowned  with  success  as  they  deserved,  but  no 
doubt  did  some  good  as  no  good  work  is  ever  entirely  lost. 

"With  eyes  to  see  and  an  intellect  to  appreciate  the  beautiful  in 
nature  and  art  her  most  enthusiastic  work  was  given  in  the  line  of 
horticulture  and  floriculture.  She  spared  no  pains  to  make  success- 
ful any  movement  for  their  advancement.  She  was  a  member  of  the 
Portage  county  horticultural  society  in  Ohio,  and  did  efficient  service 
in  that  body  for  years  before  coming  to  Iowa.  She  has  been  a  mem- 
ber of  the  State  horticultural  society  of  Iowa  since  1884,  and  her 
name  has  been  held  in  honor  as  one  of  the  capable  workers.  Being 
a  learned  and  skillful  botanist  she  was  at  one  time  employed  to  make 
a  sectional  report  of  the  flora  of  northwestern  Iowa  by  the  state 
organization.  You  all  know  what  her  work  in  this  society  has  been. 
From  its  earliest  organization  she  has  been  its  most  faithful  advocate. 
With  characteristic  independence  she  attended  the  first  session  with 
no  other  woman  to  support  her,  and  from  that  time  until  she  was 
called  away  she  has  been  on  the  most  important  committees  in  the 
society. 

"With  all  her  services  in  public  life  she  was  a  devoted  wife,  a

true  home  maker  and  a  source  of  emulation  to  her  many  friends  on 
account  of  her  brilliant  conversational  and  sweet  womanly  social

ADDITIONS  AND  CORRECTIONS. 


FIRST    GENERATION. 

18500.  John  Mack.  11800.  He  did  not  marry  a  second 
time.  It  is  thought  that  this  family  dropped  their  original  names, 
retaining  the  prefix  only,  thereby  being  better  able  to  escape  perse- 
cution on  account  of  their  religious  belief.  It  is  said  that  part  of 
their  coat-of-arms  was  a  boar's  head.  The  Scotch  families  of  Mc- 
Dougal  and  McTavish  have  as  parts  of  their  coats-of-arms  a  boar's 
head  erased.  One  branch  of  the  family  thinks  that  the  original  name 
was  McDermon.  He  was  the  original  and  only  early  settler  of  that 
name  in  Conn,  and  the  ancestor  of  all  the  early  Macks  of  that  state.

dlefield, Mass.,  Centennial  Celebration,  1883,  says  of  him: 

"After  Deacon  Mack  for  several  years  had  on  Sunday  gone  on 
foot  six  miles  to  Chester  meeting-house,  or,  in  the  winter,  with  ox- 
sled  had  carried  the  members  of  his  own  and  other  families  thither 
and  back,  a  Sabbath  day's  journey  indeed ;  and  after  he  had  many 
times  travelled  down  into  the  valley  of  the  western  branch  of  the 
Westfield  River  and  out  of  it,  climbing  a  series  of  hills  to  reach  the 
place  of  town-meeting  in  Becket ;  and  after  his  neighbors  in  the  south 
part  of  Peru,  the  northeast  corner  of  Becket,  the  north  of  Chester, 
and  the  southwest  corner  of  Worthington,  had  labored  under  similar 
difficulties  and  inconveniences  in  reaching  their  religious  and  business 
centres,  it  was  natural  that  their  thoughts  should  be  directed  to  some 
more  excellent  way  of  satisfying  their  needs.  In  the  midst  of  these 
people  so  seriously  incommoded  were  some  even  more  destitute  of 
privileges  than  they.  The  residents  upon  Prescott's  Grant  had  no 
political  centre,  for  that  Grant  did  not  as  yet  form  a  part  of  any 
existing  town.  The  necessities  of  the  case,  therefore,  gave  birth  to 
the  scheme  of  forming  a  new  town,  with  Prescott's  Grant  as  its 
nucleus,  with  such  additions  as  the  surrounding  towns  might  give, 
and  of   securing  its  incorporation  bv  the  authority  of  the  General

Court.  David  Mack  was  the  leader  in  the  enterprise  of  organiza- 
tion. He  undertook  the  work  of  a  svirvey  and  of  an  appUcation  to 
the  Legislature,  with  the  agreement  to  pay  his  own  expenses  if  the 
project  should  fail.  The  plan  was  successful;  and  on  the  12th  of 
March,  1783,  the  act  of  incorporation  was  passed. 

"The  same  year  (1773)  is  also  given  as  the  date  when  David 
Mack  purchased  his  place.  In  1774  he  came  to  the  town,  cleared 
two  acres,  sowed  them  to  wheat,  and  built  a  log  cabin  preparatory  to 
bringing  his  family.  While  thus  engaged,  he  boarded  with  Mr. 
Taylor,  worked  for  him  two  days  in  the  week  for  his  board,  and  the 
other  four  days  upon  his  own  land.  In  1775,  he  removed  with  his 
family  from  Hebron,  Conn. 

"Foremost  among  the  men  of  Middlefield  stands  David  Mack, 
whose  Christian  character  has  been  set  forth  in  the  tract  'The  Faith- 
ful Steward,'  and  is  fresh  in  the  memories  of  many  who  hear  my 
voice.  I  shall  enter  upon  no  eulogy  of  Deacon  Mack.  His  record 
is  before  you,  and  it  is  beyond  my  power  to  add  to  or  detract  from 
it.  His  prominence  in  the  first  half  century  of  the  town's  history  was 
due  to  his  business,  his  wealth,  his  religion,  and,  above  all,  to  his 
native  force  of  character.  He  could  not,  of  course,  have  accom- 
plished what  he  did  without  the  aid  of  others  who  were  his  peers  in 
business  talent,  and  perhaps  his  superiors  in  intelligence.  Some 
things  which  did  happen  would  never  have  occurred  but  for  him.  It 
was  the  Nemesis  of  his  fate  that  some  of  his  most  strenuous  efforts 
contributed  to  the  success  of  enterprises  he  sought  to  stifle.  He  was 
undoubtedly  more  facile  in  conviction  than  in  conciliation,  but  no 
sketch  of  Middlefield  would  be  at  all  complete  that  should  not  assign 
him  a  conspicuous  place.  The  man  whose  only  property,  on  coming 
to  Middlefield,  was  his  farm,  a  poor  horse,  his  axe,  his  wife  and  child, 
and  who  in  his  career  as  farmer  and  merchant  amassed  a  fortune, 
and  was,  moreover,  the  cause  that  certain  other  men  became  wealthy, 
was  a  successful  business  man.  He  paid  his  debts  promptly,  and 
expected  others  to  do  the  same.  He  showed  his  knowledge  of  the 
value  of  wealth  by  his  use  of  it,  and  his  great  good  sense  by  entirely 
settling  his  estate  before  his  death.  The  man  whose  townsmen  con- 
stantly elected  him  to  offices  of  trust  and  honor  was  a  public-spirited 
man.  As  has  been  said,  he  was  the  leader  in  organizing  and  incor- 
porating the  town.     He  was  not  less  active  in  securing  preaching  and 


Appendix  IV. — Fourth  Generation.  521 

schooling.  These  blessings  he  did  not  desire  for  others  alone,  but 
for  himself  as  well.  The  man  who  in  1784  went  to  school  with  his 
own  children  and  spelled  in  the  same  class  with  his  six-)'ear-old  son 
was  a  wise  man,  for  he  understood  at  least  his  own  ignorance.  This 
is  an  amount  of  knowledge  some  never  attain.  The  man  of  but  six 
weeks'  schooling  previous  to  his  marriage,  whose  mind  so  expanded 
that  he  became  the  friend  and  patron  of  learning,  who  gave  Mary 
Lyon  $500  for  Mt.  Holyoke  Female  Seminary  at  a  time  when  it  was 
not  generally  conceded  that  women  could  and  should  be  educated, 
that  they  would  be  more  womanly,  more  everything  desirable,  if  they 
had  education, — this  man  was  a  man  of  progress.  The  man  in 
whose  barn,  kitchen,  and  large  chambers  town  and  church  meetings 
were  held  for  several  years  ;  who  was  constant  in  his  attendance  on 
worship,  and  sat  for  fifty-four  years  in  the  same  pew  in  that  meeting- 
house he  had  done  so  much  to  erect;  who  gave  more  than  $18,000 
in  large  sums  to  benevolent  enterprises,  and  as  much  more  in  smaller 
offerings  ;  who  by  his  contributions  made  himself  a  life-member  of 
twelve  benevolent  societies,  and  at  one  time  gave  $1,000  to  foreign 
missions ;  who  left  to  the  church  and  society  he  loved  a  fund  of 
$3,000  for  the  support  of  the  gospel  in  all  coming  time  ;  whose  inter- 
est and  zeal  in  the  religious  welfare  of  his  children  and  children's 
children  were  constant  and  successful, — this  man  was  surely  a  reli- 
gious man. 

"That  he  was  patriotic,  his  conduct  at  the  time  of  Shay's  insur- 
rection shows.  Middlefield's  incorporation  nearly  coincided  with  the 
close  of  the  Revolutionary  War.  The  return  of  peace  found  the 
nation  burdened  with  heavy  taxation,  industry  paralyzed,  and  trade, 
in  the  absence  of  aught  that  could  with  justice  be  called  a  currency, 
even  more  depressed.  l"he  people  of  Western  Massachusetts,  writh- 
ing under  the  pressure  of  public  and  private  debts  for  w^hich  no 
means  of  payment  existed,  attributed  to  the  government  the  evils 
from  which  they  suffered,  clamored  for  issues  of  paper  monev,  and 
sought  to  stay  the  courts  from  granting  writs  to  which  they  could  not 
respond.  Middlefield's  sympathy  with  these  unfortunate  debtors  is 
evident  from  this  language  in  a  call  for  a  town  meeting  in  November, 
1786,  to  choose  delegates  to  a  county  convention  in  Hadley  for  the 
following  very  necessary  purposes  :  'To  choose  a  committee  to  confer 
with  committees  from  other  counties  on  the  pressing  distressful  con- 


522  History  of  the  Mack  Family. 

dition  of  our  public  affairs.  Secondly,  to  choose  a  committee  to 
prepare  a  nervis  petition  to  the  Honorable  General  Assembly,  with 
such  justness,  perspicuity,  and  suitable  address  as  may  not  fail  to  be 
effective  of  our  public  relief.' 

"The  grievances,  though  greatly  magnified,  were  real.  This 
conference  and  petition  were  entirely  lawful.  When,  however,  under 
the  lead  of  Day  and  Shays,  insurgent  plans  were  formed,  and  the 
attempt  made  to  disperse  the  courts  and  arrest  the  enforcement  of 
legal  process  altogether,  insurrection  had  begun. 

"In  this  state  of  affairs,  a  requisition  was  sent  to  Captain  David 
Mack  to  appear  with  a  certain  number  of  his  men  at  Springfield,  and 
join  the  state  forces.  He  drafted  his  men,  gave  orders  for  their 
appearance  at  his  house  the  next  morning,  prepared  to  march.  Dur- 
ing the  night,  the  company  appointed  new  officers,  declared  for  Shays, 
and  in  the  morning  surrounded  and  entered  Captain  Mack's  house, 
and  declared  him  prisoner.  The  loyal  captain  clearly  saw  the  peril 
of  the  step  that  had  been  taken.  To  his  utmost,  he  exhorted  his  men 
to  abandon  their  course  of  folly  and  treason.  His  plea  was  in  vain. 
As  a  prisoner,  he  requested  a  furlough  of  three  days,  which  was 
granted.  At  their  request,  he  wrote  the  furlough  ;  and,  having  pro- 
cured the  signatures  of  the  newly  appointed  officers,  among  whom 
were  Samuel  Jones,  Eliakim  Wardwell,  and  Mr.  Meacham,  he  put  the 
document  in  his  pocket,  hastened  to  Springfield,  at  once  reported 
himself  to  General  Shepard,  to  whom  he  exhibited  his  furlough. 
After  examining  it.  General  Shepard  said  :  'Well,  Captain  Mack,  as 
you  have  no  men  to  fight  with  you,  you  may  go  home.  We  shall 
immediately  attend  to  the  men  who  have  signed  this  paper.'  At  that 
exciting  period,  the  house  of  Samuel  Jones,  now  owned  by  George 
Bell,  was  the  headquarters  of  the  Shays  men  in  this  vicinity.  There 
the  Shays  leaders  were  arrested,  after  Captain  Mack's  visit  to  Spring- 
field, and  lodged  in  Northampton  jail.  In  their  distress,  they  humbly 
and  earnestly  besought  Captain  Mack  to  use  his  influence  in  securing 
their  release.  He  magnanimously  exerted  himself  in  their  behalf, 
and  secured  their  pardon. 

"So  great  was  the  divergence  in  views  that  in  November,  1787, 
the  town  chose  Major  David  Mack,  Lieutenant  James  Dickson  and 
Ensign  Matthew  Smith  as  a  committee  to  apply  to  the  General  Court 
for  a  committee  to  fix  the  place  for  the  meeting-house."

The  following  is  his  will : 

"In  the  Name  of  God  Amen.  I,  Daniel  Mack,  of  the  City  and 
State  of  New  York,  being  in  good  health  and  of  a  sound  disposing 
mind  and  memory.  Do  make  this  my  last  will  and  testament  in  man- 
ner following,  that  is  to  say.  First  that  all  my  just  debts  and  funeral 
expenses  be  paid,  the  regulation  of  which  funeral  expenses  I  do  leave 
to  the  discretion  and  management  of  my  executors  hereinafter  named. 
Secondly,  I  give,  bequeath  and  devise  the  rest,  residue  and  remainder 
of  my  estate  both  real  and  personal  of  every  nature,  kind  and  descrip- 
tion whatsoever,  and  whether  in  possession,  reversion  or  remainder 
unto  my  wife  Elizabeth.  That  is  to  say,  my  personal  estate  forever 
and  my  real  estate  for  and  during  the  term  of  her  natural  life,  or  as 
long  as  she  remains  a  widow,  as  well  for  her  support  and  mainte- 
nance, as  for  the  support,  maintenance  and  education  of  such  of  my 
children  as  are  under  the  age  of  twenty-one  years,  and  of  Elvina 
Woodruff  and  Charles  Farrington  Woodruff,  my  grandchildren,  being 
the  children  of  my  deceased  daughter  Sarah,  late  the  wife  of  George 
Woodruff,  now  also  deceased,  she  my  said  wife  keeping  the  said 
real  estate  in  good  tenantable  repair.  Provided  always  that  if  it 
shall  be  absolutely  necessary  in  order  to  discharge  my  just  debts  as 
aforesaid  that  any  part  of  my  said  estate  be  sold.  Then  and  in  such  a 
case  I  do  hereby  authorize  my  executors  hereinafter  named,  or  the 
survivors  or  survivor  of  them,  as  soon  as  convenient  after  my  decease 
to  sell  and  dispose  of  any  one 'Dwelling  House  and  lot  of  ground 
belonging  to  my  estate  situate  in  the  City  of  New  York  which  they

or  the  majority  of  them  may  think  proper  and  select  for  that  purpose 
at  public  vendue  or  otherwise,  and  a  good  and  sufficient  title  to  give 
for  the  same  to  the  purchaser  or  purchasers  thereof  and  to  appropri- 
ate the  whole  or  so  much  of  the  proceeds  thereof  as  shall  be  necessary 
to  the  discharge  of  such  debts  as  aforesaid,  and  to  put  the  residue  of 
such  proceeds  (if  any  there  be)  out  at  interest  on  Bond  and  Mortgage 
in  their  names  as  my  executors,  which  interest  shall  be  received  by 
my  said  wife  Elizabeth  for  the  purposes  aforesaid.     And  further  that 
in  case  my  brother,  Ebenezer  Mack,  should  become  unable  to  main- 
tain and  provide  for  himself  then   my  said  wife  shall  afford  him  a 
comfortable  support  out  of  the  Rents  and  profits  of  said  Estate.   And 
my  will,  further  is  that  in  case  of  the  death  or  remarriage  of  my  said 
wife  Elizabeth,  my  said  Estate  is  to  remain  under  the  management 
and  care  of  my  executors  for  the  purpose  of  maintaining,  educating 
and  supporting  my  children  and  of  supporting  my  brother  Ebenezer 
Mack  as  aforementioned,  until  my  youngest  child  Caroline  shall  have 
attained  the  age  of  eighteen  years  when  I  order  and  direct  my  said 
executors,  or  the  survivors  or  survivor  of  them,  as  soon  as  convenient 
and  a  price  to  his  or  her  satisfaction  can  be  obtained  to  sell  and  dis- 
pose of  each  and  every  part  of  the  residue  of  my  said  Real  Estate  at 
Public  vendue  or  otherwise,  and  a  good  and  sufficient  conveyance  to 
give  for  the   same  to   the   purchaser   or  purchasers  thereof  and  to 
divide,  dispose  of  and  retain  the  proceeds  thereof  in  manner  follow- 
ing, and  to  and  among  the  following  persons  to  whom  the  same  is 
hereby  bequeathed  forever.     That  is  to  say.     My  son  Robert  and  my 
daughters  Lucinda,  Susan,   Charlotte  and   Caroline,  to  each  of  my 
said  children,  one-sixth  part  of  the  net  proceeds  of  my  said  Estate. 
And  the  other  sixth  part  thereof  I  hereby  devise  and  bequeath  to 
the  aforementioned  children   of  my   said  deceased   daughter   Sarah 
(named    as   follows)    to-wit:  Elvina    and    Charles   Farrington  to  be

retain  in  their,  his  or  her  hands  the  said  sixth  part  of  the   said  net 
proceeds  of  my  said   Estate  which  1  have  hereinbefore  devised  and 
bequeathed  to  the  children  of  the  said  Sarah  or  to  deposit  the  same 
in  either  of  the  Banks,  or  other  place  of  security,  until  a  convenient

and  safe  opportunity  can  be  obtained  of  putting  out  the  same  or  any 
part  thereof  on  Interest  on  Bonds  and  Mortgage  which  I  do  hereby 
authorize  and  require  my  said  executors  or  the  survivors  or  survivor 
of  them  to  do  and  the  Interest  monies  arising  from  the  monies  so  put 
out  as  the  same  shall  come  into  the  hand  of  my  said  executors  shall 
and  may  be  applied  and  expended  in  the  maintenance,  education  and 
support  ot  the  said  children  of  said  Sarah.  Provided  always  never- 
theless and  my  will  is  that  in  case  my  daughter  Susan,  Charlotte  or 
Caroline  shali  be  married,  my  wife  Elizabeth  shall  give  each  of  themi 
so  married  a  good  decent  outfit  which  I  leave  to  her  own  judgment 
and  discretion,  and  it  is  my  will  and  I  hereby  further  order  and  de- 
clare that  the  receipt  of  any  or  either  of  my  own  children  before 
named,  or  of  any  or  either  of  the  children  of  said  Sarah,  notwith- 
standing coverture  or  the  receipt  of  any  or  either  of  their  husbands 
shall  be  a  good  and  sufficient  discharge  to  my  Executors  for  the 
share  or  shares  so  receipted  for.  And  further,  it  is  my  will  that  in  case 
one  or  more  of  my  said  children  above  named,  should  happen  to  die 
without  lawful  issue  before  a  division  of  my  said  Estate  shall  be  made 
then  the  part  or  share  of  the  child  or  children  so  dying  shall  go  to 
and  be  equally  divided  between  the  survivors  or  survivor  of  my  said 
children  share  and  share  alike,  and  if  either  of  the  children  of  the 
said  Sarah  should  happen  to  die  without  lawful  issue,  before  he  or 
she  shall  have  attained  the  age  of  twenty-one  years  or  be  married,

removed  to  Palmyra,  N.  Y.  Joseph's  education  was  very  defective. 
With  the  aid  of  Sidney  Rigdon  he  brought  forth  the  'Book  of  Mor- 
mon' which  he  claimed  to  have  discovered  under  angelic  guidance, 
written  on  plates  and  hidden  in  the  earth :  and  on  this  he  founded 
and  organized  his  church  in  Manchester,  N.  Y.,  April  6,  1831.  In 
183 1  he  went  with  his  disciples  to  Kirtland,  Ohio,  and  erected  a 
costly  but  very  singular  temple.  He  removed  in  1838  to  Far  West, 
Mo.,  and  there  his  disciples  gathered.  They  soon  removed  to  Han- 
cock County,  111.,  where  they  built  a  city  called  Nauvoo,  and  con- 
structed another  costly  temple.  Here  Smith  combined  in  his  own 
person  the  chief  military,  municipal  and  ecclesiastical  offices, 

'According  to  his  own  account.  Smith  at  about  the  age  of  15, 
while  living  with  his  father,  who  was  a  farmer  in  Ontario  (now 
Wayne)  Co.,  N.  Y.,  began  to  have  visions.  On  the  night  of  Sept.  21, 
1823,  the  angel  Moroni  appeared  to  him  three  times,  informing 
him  that  God  had  a  work  for  him  to  do,  and  that  a  record  written 
upon  gold  plates,  and  giving  an  account  of  the  ancient  inhabitants  of 
America  and  the  dealings  of  God  with  them,  was  deposited  in  a  par- 
ticular place  in  the  earth  (a  hill  in  Manchester,  Ontario  Co.,  N.  Y.), 
and,  with  the  record,  two  transparent  stones  in  silver  bows  like  spec- 
tacles, which  were  anciently  called  the  Urim  and  Thummim,  on 
looking  through  which  the  golden  plates  would  become  intelligible. 
On  Sept.  22,  1827,  the  angel  of  the  Lord  placed  in  Smith's  hands  the 
plates  and  the  Urim  and  Thummim.  The  plates  were  nearly  8  in. 
long  by  7  in.  wide,  and  a  little  thinner  than  ordinary  tin,  and  were 
bound  together  by  three  rings  running  through  the  whole.  Altogether 
they  were  about  6  in.  thick,  and  were  neatly  engraved  on  each  side 
with  hieroglyphics  in  a  language  called  the  reformed  Egyptian,  not 
then  known  on  the  earth.  From  these  plates  Smith,  sitting  behind  a 
blanket  hung  across  the  room  to  keep  the  sacred  records  from  profane 
eyes,  read  off,  with  the  aid  of  the  stone  spectacles,  the  'Book  of 
Mormon,'  or  Golden  Bible  as  he  sometimes  called  it,  to  Oliver  Cow- 
dery,  who  wrote  it  down  as  Smith  read  it.  It  was  printed  in  1830,  in 
a  volume  of  several  hundred  pages.  Appended  to  it  was  a  statement 
signed  by  Oliver  Cowdery,  David  Whitmer,  and  Martin  Harris,  who 
had  become  professed  believers  in  Smith's  supernatural  pretensions, 
and  are  called  by  the  Mormons  'the  three  witnesses'.  They  said  : 
'We  declare  with  words  of  soberness  that  an  angel  of  God  came  down 


532  History  of  the  Mack  Family. 

from  heaven,  and  he  brought  and  laid  before  our  eyes  that  we  beheld 
and  saw  the  plates  and  the  engravings  thereon.' 

"Smith  and  Rigdon  seem  at  first  to  have  had  vague  and  con- 
fused ideas  as  to  the  nature  and  design  of  the  church  they  were  about 
to  establish.  They  were  both  inclined  to  teach  millenarianism,  which 
at  that  time  was  beginning  to  attract  attention  in  western  New  York ; 
and  they  accordingly  settled  into  the  doctrine  that  the  millennium 
was  close  at  hand,  that  the  Indians  were  to  be  speedily  converted, 
and  that  America  was  to  be  the  final  gathering  place  of  the  saints, 
who  were  to  assemble  at  New  Zion  or  New  Jerusalem,  somewhere  in 
the  interior  of  the  continent.  With  the  'Book  of  Mormon'  as  their 
text  and  authority,  they  began  to  preach  this  new  gospel ;  and  Smith's 
family  and  a  few  of  his  associates,  together  with  some  of  Rigdon's 
previous  followers,  were  soon  numerous  enough  to  constitute  the 
Mormon  church,  as  it  was  styled  by  the  people  around  them,  or  the 
church  of  Latter  Day  Saints,  as  they  presently  began  to  call  them- 
selves. The  church  was  first  regularly  organized  at  Manchester, 
N.  Y.,  April  6,  1830,  and  the  first  conference  was  held  at  Fayette, 
N.  Y.,  in  June,  at  which  time  the  number  of  believers  had  increased 
to  30.  Smith,  directed  as  he  said  by  revelation,  in  January,  183 1, 
led  the  whole  body  of  believers  to  Kirtland,  Ohio,  which  was  to  be 
the  seat  of  the  New  Jerusalem.  Here  converts  were  rapidly  made, 
and  soon,  desiring  a  wider  field  for  the  growth  of  the  church.  Smith 
and  Rigdon  travelled  westward,  looking  for  a  suitable  location,  which 
was  found  in  Independence,  Jackson  Co.,  Mo.,  where  in  August 
Smith  dedicated  a  site  for  the  temple  to  be  erected  by  the  saints,  and 
named  the  place  New  Jerusalem.  On  their  return  to  Kirtland,  where 
they  proposed  to  remain  for  five  years  'and  make  money,'  Smith  and 
Rigdon  established  a  mill  and  a  store,  and  set  up  a  bank  without  a 
charter,  of  which  Smith  appointed  himself  president,  and  made  Rig- 
don cashier. 

"About  a  year  afterward  a  government  for  the  church  was  insti- 
tuted, consisting  of  three  presidents.  Smith,  Rigdon  and  Frederick  G. 
Williams,  who  together  were  styled  the  first  presidency,  a  revelation 
from  the  Lord  having  declared  that  the  sins  of  Rigdon  and  Williams 
were  forgiven,  'and  that  they  were  henceforth  to  be  accounted  as 
equal  with  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  in  holding  the  keys  of  his  last  kingdom.' 

"The  Mormons  were  kindly  received  in   Illinois,  and  Dr.   Isaac 


*  Appendix  IV. — Fifth  Generation.  533 

Galland,  who  owned  a  large  tract  of  land  at  Commerce,  in  Hancock 
Co.,  gave  Smith  a  considerable  portion  of  it  in  order  to  enhance  the 
value  of  the  rest  by  the  settlement  of  the  Mormons  there.  Smith 
accordingly  received  a  revelation  commanding  the  saints  to  establish 
themselves  at  Commerce,  and  build  a  city  to  be  called  Nauvoo  on  the 
land  presented  to  him,  which  he  divided  into  house  lots  and  sold  to 
his  followers  at  high  prices.  By  this  transaction,  and  by  other 
equally  successful  speculations,  the  prophet  in  a  few  years  amassed 
a  considerable  fortune.  Nauvoo  soon  grew  to  be  a  city  of  several 
thousand  inhabitants,  the  saints  being  summoned  by  a  new  revelation 
to  assemble  there  from  all  quarters  of  the  world,  and  to  build  a  tem- 
ple for  the  Lord,  and  a  hotel  in  which  Smith  and  his  family  should 
'have  place  from  generation  to  generation,  forever  and  ever'.  The 
legislature  of  Illinois  granted  a  charter  for  the  city  of  Nauvoo,  con- 
ferring upon  it  extraordinary  privileges,  which  enabled  Smith,  Rigdon 
and  the  other  leaders  to  exercise  almost  unlimited  civil  power.  They 
were  authorized  by  charter  to  organize  a  military  body,  which  was 
accordingly  formed  under  the  name  of  the  Nauvoo  legion,  and  com- 
prised nearly  all  the  Mormons  capable  of  bearing  arms.  Smith  was 
commander  of  this  force  with  the  rank  of  lieutenant  general.  Be- 
sides this  office,  he  held  those  of  mayor  of  the  city  and  first  president 
of  the  church.  By  a  revelation  given  April  6,  1830,  he  had  been 
appointed  'seer,  translator,  prophet,  apostle  of  Jesus  Christ,  and  elder 
of  the  church ;'  and  the  Lord  had  said  to  him  :  'The  church  shall 
give  heed  to  all  his  words  and  commandments  which  he  shall  give 
unto  you ;  for  his  word  shall  ye  receive  as  if  from  my  own  mouth,  in 
all  patience  and  faith.'  The  civil  and  military  offices  which  he  con- 
ferred upon  himself  at  Nauvoo  and  the  legion  at  his  command  gave 
him  supreme  power  within  the  city,  whose  charter  had  been  purposely 
so  framed  that  the  state  authorities  were  almost  excluded  "from  juris- 
diction within  its  limits.  On  April  6,  1841,  the  foundation  of  the 
temple  was  laid  at  Nauvoo,  by  Lieut.  Gen.  Smith,  who  appeared  at 
the  head  of  the  legion,  surrounded  by  a  numerous  military  staff;  and 
the  saints  being  commanded  by  revelation  not  only  to  contribute  to 
its  erection,  but  to  labor  personally  upon  the  work  every  tenth  day, 
its  walls  rapidly  arose. 

"A  portion  of  the  Mormons  reject  polygamy,  and  do  not  approve 
of  the  political  schemes  of  Brigham  Young  and  the  leaders  of  the 


534  History  of  the  Mack  Family.  • 

church  in  Utah.  Joseph  Smith,  the  son  of  the  prophet,  is  regarded 
by  them  as  the  true  living  head  of  the  church,  and  under  his  direction 
they  have  estabhshed  themselves  at  Nauvoo.  Their  number  is 
inconsiderable." 

The  National  Cyclopedia  of  Biography  says  of  him  : 

"Joseph  Smith  has  been  conceded  one  of  the  most  remarkable 
figures  of  the  nineteenth  century.  Starting  in  life  without  education 
or  worldly  advantage,  he  became  a  recognized  leader  of  thousands  of 
enthusiastic  converts,  who  passionately  shared  his  conviction  that  he 
was  a  veritable  prophet  of  God.  Of  magnificent  physique  and  com- 
manding presence,  he  was  eminently  fitted  for  this  role,  and,  on  the 
whole,  it  must  be  confessed,  maintained  it  with  dignity.  For  strength 
and  perfection  the  hierarchy  :founded  upon  his  teachings  is  confessed 
as  at  least  equal  to  that  of  Catholicism." 

Died  June  27,  1844,  at  Carthage,  111.

23500.  Joseph  Smith.  22100.  (Descendant  of  Robert  Smith 
of  New  Hampshire,  1631.)  The  National  Cyclopedia  of  Biography 
says  of  him  : 

"Joseph  Smith,  Mormon  prophet,  was  born  at  Sharon,  Vt.,  Dec. 
23,  1805,  son  of  Joseph  and  Lucy  (Mack)  Smith.  In  1815  his 
parents  removed  to  Palmyra,  N.  Y.,  where  they  resided  for  about  four 
years,  then  settling  in  the  town  of  Manchester.  Joseph  worked  as  a 
farm  hand,  could  merely  read  and  •  write,  and  had  a  very  limited 
knowledge  of  arithmetic.  These  were  his  highest  and  only  attain- 
ments.    In  the  spring  of   1820,  in  the  midst  of  a  religious  revival,  in 


552  History  of  the  Mack  Family. 

which  four  of  the  family  joined  the  Presbyterian  church,  his  attention 
was  seriously  drawn  to  the  subject  of  religion  and  the  future  state, 
and  his  mind,  perplexed  by  the  conflicting  claims  of  the  various  sects, 
sought  a  solution  in  the  Scriptures.  He  was  particularly  impressed 
with  the  text,  'If  any  lack  wisdom,  let  him  ask  of  God,'  and  following 
the  admonition,  he  later  announced  that  he  had  had  a  vision  while 
praying  in  the  woods.  Two  glorious  personages  had  appeared,  who 
informed  him  that  his  sins  were  forgiven ;  also  that  all  religious 
denominations  believed  incorrect  doctrines.  He  was  expressly  com- 
manded not  to  go  after  them,  but  was  told  that  at  a  future  day  the  true 
doctrine,  the  fulness  of  the  Gospel,  should  be  made  known  to  him.  He 
further  stated  that  on  the  night  of  Sept.  21,  1823,  when  he  had  retired 
to  rest,  a  light  like  that  of  day,  only  of  a  purer  and  far  more  glorious 
appearance,  burst  into  the  room.  In  a  moment  a  personage  appeared 
before  him,  his  countenance  like  lightning,  and  renewed  the  assur- 
ances, and  further  indicated  that  the  covenant  which  God  made  with 
ancient  Israel  was  at  hand  to  be  fulfilled,  and  that  he  was  to  be  a 
chosen  instrument  in  God's  hands  to  bring  about  some  of  his  marvel- 
ous purposes.  The  American  Indians,  he  was  told,  were  a  remnant 
of  Israel,  whose  sacred  records  had  been  taken  away  from  them  by 
command  of  God,  and  safely  deposited  for  preservation.  These  con- 
tained many  revelations  pertaining  to  the  Gospel  of  the  Kingdom, 
and  prophecies,  relating  to  the  last  day.  Before  morning  the  vision 
was  twice  renewed,  and  further  instructions  were  given  by  the  visitant. 
During  the  four  following  years  he  frequently  had  instructions  from 
the  heavenly  messenger,  and  on  Sept.  22,  1827,  the  angel  delivered 
the  sacred  records  into  his  hands.  They  were  engraved  on  plates 
which  had  the  appearance  of  gold.  Each  plate  was  not  far  from 
seven  by  eight  inches  in  measurement,  and  not  quite  as  thick  as  com- 
mon tin.  They  were  filled  on  both  sides  with  engravings  in  some 
unknown  characters,  since  declared  to  be  a  'revision  of  Egyptian 
hieroglyphics,'  and  were  bound  together  as  a  book,  fastened  at  one 
edge  with  three  rings.  The  volume  was  about  six  inches  in  thick- 
ness, a  part  of  which  was  sealed.  The  characters  or  letters  upon  the 
unsealed  part  were  small  and  beautifully  engraved.  The  whole  book 
exhibited  many  marks  of  antiquity  in  its  construction,  as  well  as 
much  skill  in  the  art  of  engraving.  With  the  records  was  found  the 
urim  and  thummim,  two  transparent  stones,  let  into  the  two  rims  of  a

bow.  By  this  the  ancients  received,  it  was  said,  their  revelations. 
The  noise  of  Smith's  visions  and  rumors  of  his  discoveries  had  gone 
abroad,  and  on  his  return  homewards,  after  the  receipt  of  the  records, 
he  was  attacked  by  two  ruffians,  but  beat  them  off,  and  reached  his 
dwelUng.  Shortly  after,  being  in  danger  of  his  life  from  his  neigh- 
bors, he  departed  from  New  York  for  Pennsylvania,  putting  the 
sacred  plates  into  a  barrel  of  beans  in  his  wagon.  Having  provided 
himself  with  a  home  in  the  new  region,  Smith  proceeded  to  the  trans- 
lation of  the  plates,  as  he  tells  us,  'by  the  gift  and  power  of  God, 
through  the  means  of  urim  and  thummim'.  He  did  not  look  upon 
the  plates  directly,  but  through  urim  and  thummim,  and  from  behind 
a  curtain.  The  unsealed  portion,  being  completed,  made  the  'Book 
of  Mormon,'  with  nearly  as  much  reading  in  it  as  in  the  Old  Testa- 
ment. It  purports  to  be  a  compilation  from  numerous  records  by  a 
prophet  named  Mormon  of  a  history  of  ancient  America,  from  its 
earliest  settlement  by  a  colony  who  came  from  the  tower  of  Babel,  at 
the  confusion  of  languages,  down  to  the  beginning  of  the  fifteenth 
century  of  the  Christian  era.  The  original  colonv,  having  been 
utterly  annihilated,  was  followed  by  another,  which  came  from  Jerusa- 
lem during  the  captivity  of  Jedediah,  King  of  Judah.  To  all  this, 
Oliver  Cowdrey,  David  Whitmer,  and  Martin  Harris,  Smith's  associ- 
ates and  earliest  converts,  attested  when  the  translation  was  finished. 
In  the  year  1829,  Smith  and  Cowdrey,  who  now  craved  baptism, 
were  ordained  priests  of  the  order  of  Aaron  by  a  holy  messenger,  who 
announced  himself  as  John  the  Baptist,  and  who  commanded  them  to 
baptize  each  other.  The  order  of  apostleship  was  subsequently 
restored,  it  is  reported,  by  visits  from  Peter,  James  and  John.  The 
next  year  a  large  edition  of  the  'Book  of  Mormon'  was  printed,  and 
some  adherents  to  its  author  and  its  doctrines  being  found,  on  April 
6,  1830,  the  'Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Latter  Day  Saints'  was  organ- 
ized at  Fayette,  N.  Y.  The  prophet's  ideas  seem  to  have  been,  at 
this  time,  vague  and  confused  as  to  his  church,  and  'numerous  reve- 
lations were  required  to  shape  the  church  as  it  was  finally  established'. 
The  church  at  Fayette  began  to  gather  disciples.  On  June  i,  1830, 
at  a  conference  in  that  town,  thirty  members  were  present.  Mission- 
aries were  now  set  apart  and  every  member  was  utilized ;  and  among 
these  were  Brigham  Young,  the  two  brothers  Pratt  and  Sidney  Rig- 
don,  a  converted  Campbellite  preacher.     Churches  were  formed  in 


554  History  of  the  Mack  Family, 

Ohio,  Pennsylvania,  New  York  and  even  in  Indiana  and  Illinois. 
Then  came  persecution,  and  the  Saints  looked  out  for  a  permanent 
home.  Kirtland,  Ohio,  being  selected  for  their  first  headquarters, 
Smith  advised  his  disciples  to  gather  there,  and  pray  for  a  revelation 
from  the  Lord,  'as  to  the  place  where  the  New  Jerusalem  should  be 
built,'  and  'where  the  Saints  should  eventually  be  gathered  in  one'. 
The  prophet's  eyes  turned  westward  for  this  heavenly  city.  In  the 
fall  of  1 83 1  a  revelation  was  made  known  that  it  was  to  be  located  in 
Jackson  County,  in  Missouri.  Soon  1,200  people  had  gathered  in 
that  place.  Land  was  bought,  a  printing  press  established,  and  a 
monthly  and  a  weekly  newspaper  published.  In  1838  unsuccessful 
financial  speculations  obliged  Smith  to  withdraw  from  Ohio,  but  long 
before  this  the  Missouri  settlement  had  encountered  serious  opposi- 
tion. Societies  had  been  organized  to  expel  them  from  the  region  ; 
their  printing  plant  had  been  seized,  their  ministers  tarred  and 
feathered,  and  other  outrages  had  been  inflicted  on  them.  Smith 
himself  was  dragged  from  his  bed  one  night  in  Hiram,  Ohio,  and, 
after  being  tarred  and  feathered  and  otherwise  outraged,  was  left  for 
dead.  In  1833  the  Saints  were  compelled  to  fly  across  the  Missouri 
river  to  the  open  wilderness  on  a  winter's  night.  Subsequently  they 
settled  in  Clay  County,  Missouri.  Smith  reached  his  persecuted 
followers  with  the  utmost  expedition,  having,  in  February,  1834,  when 
he  heard  of  their  distresses,  assumed,  by  revelation,  in  addition  to  his 
previous  functions,  the  role  of  'military  leader  of  the  people'.  The 
band  with  which  he  reached  the  borders  of  Missouri  numbered  205, 
but  the  citizens  of  that  state  intercepted  his  cohort,  and  sadly  defeated 
them  in  their  schemes.  The  prophet  returned  to  Kirtland,  Ohio, 
then  the  headquarters  of  the  church,  and  forthwith  determined  on  a 
more  thorough  organization  of  his  disciples.  He,  therefore,  instituted 
the  hierarchial  order,  to  which  the  Mormons  have  since  owed,  in 
large  measure,  their  success  and  perpetuity.  Keeping  his  own 
superiority  as  'president,'  he  selected  a  'high  council'  of  twelve  men, 
and  delegated  them  his  'apostles'  to  go  'into  all  nations,  kindreds, 
tongues  and  people,  and  preach  the  gospel  of  the  new  covenant'. 
They  departed  into  the  eastern  states,  and  in  1837  to  England,  where 
the  first  conference  of  converts  was  held  at  Preston,  Lancashire,  Dec, 
25th  of  that  year.  Everywhere  the  church  gained  new  adherents, 
and  the  year  1837  was  an  auspicious  one  for  them,  although  they  lost 


Appendix  IV. — Fifth  Generation.  555 

the  confidence  of  the  Ohio  people  (gentiles)  by  some  mismanagement 
of  mercantile  affairs.  The  spread  of  their  doctrines,  and  the  reach 
of  their  organization  in  England  and  elsewhere,  more  than  compen- 
sated for  all  else.  In  1838  Kirtland  was  abandoned,  and  repairing 
to  Missouri,  in  obedience  to  a  new  revelation,  Smith  declared  he 
would  yet  trample  on  the  necks  of  his  enemies,  and  the  citizens  of 
that  state  saw  reason  to  fear  his  growing  strength.  A  band  (the 
Danites)  had  been  secretly  formed  to  defend  him  in  any  extremity 
and  by  any  means  necessary.  Quarrelling  and  fighting  between 
Saints  and  gentiles  was  constant,  and  the  interference  of  state  author- 
ity was  invoked  by  the  latter.  The  militia  was  called  out,  and,  after 
much  loss  and  suffering,  especially  at  a  place  called  Haun's  Mill, 
where  many  of  them  were  massacred,  the  Saints  were  driven  in  the 
depth  of  winter,  across  the  Mississippi  river,  and  into  Illinois.  The 
prophet,  with  his  brother,  Hyrum,  and  other  leading  Mormons,  were 
seized  and  sentenced  by  court-martial  to  be  shot,  without  opportunity 
for  defense,  but  Brig.  Gen.  Doniphan,  recognizing  the  injustice  of  the 
proceeding,  refused  to  carry  out  the  command.  Smith  and  his  asso- 
ciates were  subsequently  released,  and  by  April,  1839,  the  Saints  had 
all  escaped  to  Illinois,  where,  mustering  15,000  strong,  they  were 
given  a  grant  of  land  on  the  east  bank  of  the  Mississippi,  forty  miles 
above  Quincy,  and  twenty  miles  below  Burlington,  Iowa.  There 
they  established  their  new  home  on  a  bend  of  the  river  upon  rising 
ground,  with  a  noble  view  of  the  river  for  many  miles.  The  city 
which  they  founded  was  called  Nauvoo,  or  the  'City  of  Beauty'.  The 
foundations  of  its  first  house  were  laid  in  1839,  ^'^^  ^^  two  years  more 
than  2,000  dwellings,  with  school  houses  and  public  edifices  were 
erected.  The  Illinois  legislature  gave  a  charter  to  Nauvoo,  a  body 
of  Mormon  militia  was  formed,  under  the  leadership  of  the  prophet, 
and  he  assumed  such  civil  office  as  gave  him  entire  control  of  the 
place.  On  April  6,  1841,  at  the  head  of  his  'military  legion,'  he  laid 
the  corner-stone  of  a  grand  temple,  being  spoken  of  in  the  newspapers 
in  his  military  capacity  alone.  He  shortly  found  himself  absolute 
ruler  over  20,000  persons,  his  revelations  being  multiplied  as  the 
occasion  seemed  to  demand.  In  1841,  and  again  in  1842,  attempts 
were  made  to  arrest  Smith  and  return  him  to  the  jurisdiction  of 
Missouri,  but  on  both  occasions  the  courts  decided  that  this  could 
not  be  done.     In  1844  he  offered  himself  as  a  candidate  for  President 


556  History  of  the  Mack  Family. 

of  the  United  States,  but  was  widely  attacked  by  the  newspapers. 
When,  in  1843,  he  announced  the  revelation  of  'celestial  marriage,' 
authorizing  the  practice  of  polygamy,  certain  malcontents  established 
the  'Expositor',  an  opposition  paper,  and  printed  in  its  first  number 
the  affidavit  of  sixteen  women,  who  alleged  that  Smith,  Young,  Rig- 
don  and  others  had  invited  them  to  enter  into  a  secret  and  illicit 
connection,  under  the  title  of  'spiritual  marriage'.  Smith  at  once  put 
down  the  paper  by  physical  force,  and  its  proprietors  fleeing  to 
Carthage,  111.,  sued  out  a  writ  against  him  and  his  brother,  Hyrum, 
as  the  abettors  of  a  riot.  The  Mormons  at  Nauvoo  resisted  its  ser- 
vice, and  the  state  militia  was  called  out  by  the  governor  of  Illinois. 
The  two  Smiths,  then  surrendering  themselves,  were  imprisoned  at 
Carthage.  After  a  time  it  was  rumored  that  the  governor  had  ac- 
knowledged that  as  there  was  no  case  against  them,  they  would 
speedily  be  released.  This  precipitated  the  denouement,  and  on  June 
27,  1844,  the  prophet  and  his  brother  were  shot  to  death  by  some  of 
a  party  of  200  men,  who  had  taken  the  law  into  their  own  hands."

The  National  Cyclopedia  of  American  Biography  says  of  him  : 

"Joseph  Fielding  Smith,  second  counselor  in  the  presidency  of 
the  Mormon  church  was  born  at  Far  West,  Caldwell  County,  Missouri, 
Nov.  13,  1838,  son  of  Hyrum  and  Mary  (Fielding)  Smith.  His 
mother,  with  her  infant  son,  were  driven  from  home  in  the  winter 
following  his  birth,  while  her  husband,  with  Joseph  Smith  and  others, 
was  held  in  prison  on  account  of  his  religion.  In  the  Mormon  exodus 
from  Nauvoo  he  drove  an  ox-team  most  of  the  way  from  the  Missis- 
sippi to  the  Missouri  river,  and  reached  winter  quarters  in  the  fall  of 
1846.  In  the  summer  of  1848  he  crossed  the  great  plains  to  Salt 
Lake,  where  he  followed  the  occupation  of  a  herd  boy  until  1854, 
working  occasionally  in  the  harvest  field  and  in  the  mountains  haul- 
ing wood.  In  April,  1854,  he  was  called  on  a  mission  to  the  Sand- 
wich Islands,  and  during  a  residence  of  nearly  three  years  and  a  ha  t 
he  was  president  of  Mani,  Kohala,  Hilo  and  Molaki  conferences  and, 
although  so  young,  one  of  the  most  active  men  in  the  party.     NMthm

six  weeks  after  his  arrival  he  was  able  to  preach  and  pray  and 
administer  the  Gospel  ordinances  in  the  native  language,  displaying 
in  his  study  unusual  aptitude  and  a  wholesome  devotion  to  duty  as  a 
missionary.  On  his  return  to  Salt  Lake  City  he  at  once  enlisted  in 
the  legion  to  defend  the  people  from  the  expected  attack  of  the 
Federal  army,  and  until  peace  was  proclaimed  was  almost  constantly 
in  the  saddle  between  Salt  Lake  and  Fort  Bridges.  During  the 
winter  of  1858-9  he  was  sergeant-at-arms  of  the  territorial  legislature. 
On  March  20,  1858,  he  was  ordained  to  one  of  the  seventies,  and  on 
Oct.  1 6th,  a  high  priest,  being  also  appointed  a  member  of  the  high 
council.  He  was  called  on  a  mission  to  Great  Britain  in  April,  i860, 
and  proceeded  to  New  York  by  way  of  Nauvoo,  where  he  visited 
some  of  his  kindred,  and  arrived  in  Liverpool  July  27th.  He  presided 
over  the  Leeds,  Sheffield,  Hull  and  Lincolnshire  conferences,  and  in 
the  fall  of  1862  he  visited  Denmark  and  afterward  went  to  Paris.  In 
March,  1864,  he  started  on  another  mission  to  the  Sandwich  Islands 
being  there  placed  in  charge  of  the  mission,  and  visited  all  the  islands 
with  a  view  of  establishing  permanent  headquarters.  After  his  return 
he  was  engaged  in  the  church  historians'  office,  and  also  in  home 
missionary  work.  He  was  elected  a  member  of  the  city  council  of 
Salt  Lake  City,  and  of  the  territorial  legislature  and  on  July  i,  1866, 
was  ordained  an  apostle  by  Pres.  Young,  and  appointed  to  fill  a 
vacancy  in  the  council  of  the  twelve,  Oct.  8,  1867.  In  1868  he 
removed  to  Provo,  Utah  Co.,  where  he  served  on  the  city  council  one 
term,  but  later,  returning  to  Salt  Lake  City  he  resumed  his  work  in 
the  historians'  office.  In  February,  1874,  he  started  on  a  second 
mission  to  Great  Britain,  and  as  director  of  all  the  branches  of  the 
church  in  Europe,  he  visited  Scandinavia,  Germany,  Switzerland  and 
France.  In  the  spring  of  1877  he  was  again  sent  to  preside  over  the 
European  mission,  and  after  attending  the  dedication  of  the  temple 
at  St.  George,  he  took  his  departure  for  Liverpool,  where  he  arrived 
May  27,  1877.  Pres.  Young's  death  occasioned  his  recall,  and  sail- 
ing from  Liverpool  he  reached  Salt  Lake  City  on  Sept.  27th.  He 
went  on  a  brief  mission  to  the  eastern  states,  in  company  with  Elder 
Orson  Pratt,  and  after  his  return  in  October  was  placed  in  charge  of 
the  endowment  house,  continuing  to  manage  its  aiTairs  until  the  sum- 
mer of  1884  when  it  was  closed.  In  October,  1880,  when  John 
Taylor  succeeded   to  the  presidency,   Elder   Smith  was  chosen  his

second  counsellor.  He  was  elected  a  member  and  president  of  the 
council  of  the  Utah  legislature  for  the  session  of  1882,  and  in  the 
same  year  was  president  of  the  Utah  Constitutional  Convention. 
After  the  death  of  President  Taylor,  Elder  Smith  resumed  his  posi- 
tion in  the  council  of  twelve  apostles,  but  on  April  7,  1889,  when 
Wilford  WoodrufT  succeeded  to  the  presidency,  he  was  chosen  as  his 
second  counsellor.  Pres.  Smith  is  regarded  with  much  affection  and 
entire  confidence  by  the  Mormon  people  and  the  church  authorities, 
and  is  considered  one  of  the  most  stalwart  defenders  of  the  faith. 
His  public  addresses  are  characterized  by  extraordinary  vigor  and 
fervor,  and  he  is  looked  upon  as  a  tower  of  strength  in  all  the  affairs 
and  councils  of  the  Mormon  church."

Appendix  IV. — Sixth  Generation.  567 

several  generations  the  family  had  lived,  and  his  mother  was  the 
daughter  of  Joab  Houghton  of  New  Jersey,  who  was  active  in  the 
War  of  the  Revolution.  The  son  attended  the  College  of  New  Jer- 
sey, 1797-9,  and  after  teaching  school  he  removed  to  Philadelphia, 
Pa.,  where  he  became  an  instructor  in  an  academy.  A  natural  talent 
for  acting  led  him  to  adopt  that  profession.  He  made  his  first 
appearance  in  July,  1805,  at  the  Chestnut  Street  theatre,  Philadelphia, 
as  Achmet  in  'Mahomet'.  At  that  time  he  was  almost  the  only 
American  on  the  stage,  and  he  attained  great  popularity,  playing 
principally  in  Philadelphia.  His  intense  dislike  for  stage  life  induced 
him  to  seek  other  employment.  He  obtained  a  position  as  clerk  in 
the  office  of  the  Baltimore  American  in  181 2  and  in  18 13  purchased

and  for  some  months  published  with  success  the  Whig.  He  was 
married  in  1810  to  Sally  Wallace  of  Philadelphia.  In  18 14  he  moved 
to  Washington,  I).  C,  where  he  occupied  a  government  position.  He 
was  licensed  a  Baptist  minister  and  in  iS  15-16  was  Chaplain  of  the 
House  of  Representatives.  He  preached  at  Alexandria,  1817-24 
and  in  New  York  City  from  1824  until  his  death.  His  granddaugh- 
ter Kate  Claxton,  daughter  of  Spencer  W.  Cone,  became  a  well- 
known  actress.     He  died  Aug.  28,  1855."

6oo  History  of  the  Mack  Family. 

"Marshfield,  January  2,  1896. 

"Sir  : — I  received  a  letter  from  you  last  eve,  with  a  request  to 
inform  you  of  the  dates  and  traditions  of  the  Macks.  I  have  no 
record  of  dates.  Will  give  you  what  information  I  can  according  to 
my  recollection  of  what  I  learned  from  my  parents,  Richard  Kendrick 
and  Polly  (Mack)  Kendrick,  and  grandparents,  Nehemiah  Mack  and 
Caroline  (Niles)  Mack.  The  Macks  came  from  Connecticut ;  I  think 
from  the  town  of  Lyme.  There  were  four  brothers ;  their  names 
were  David  Mack,  Benjamin  Mack.  John  Mack  and  Nehemiah  Mack. 
My  mother,  Polly  Mack,  and  Sally  Mack  were  sisters,  daughters  of 
Nehemiah  Mack  and  Caroline  (Niles)  Mack.  Sally  became  the  second 
wife  of  George  Ayres.  My  grandparents,  Nehemiah  Mack  and 
Caroline  (Niles)  Mack,  came  from  Conn,  soon  after  the  War  of  the 
Revolution,  to  Woodstock,  Vermont.  The  brothers  all  followed  or 
preceded  him  to  Woodstock,  Vt.  My  grandfather,  Nehemiah  Mack, 
served  nine  months  in  the  War  of  the  Revolution.  I  do  not  remem- 
ber of  hearing  of  his  brothers  being  in  the  service  but  it  is  quite 
probable  some  of  them  were.  I  knew  your  grandparents ;  also 
remember  some  of  their  children,  Laura,  Daniel  A.,  which  was  the 
Rev.  D.  A.  Mack,  and  another  son  I  think  was  named  George.  Your 
grandfather,  Daniel  Miner  Mack,  was  the  son  of  David  Mack,  my 
grandfather,  Nehemiah  Mack's,  brother,  whose  wife's  name  was  Sarah 
Rogers.  They  also  had  a  son  Samuel  Mack.  The  family,  all  but 
your  grandfather,  Daniel  Miner  Mack,  left  Plainfield,  Vt.,  when  I  was 
quite  young;  I  do  not  recollect  but  little  about  them.  Grandfather, 
Nehemiah  Mack's,  other  brothers  lived  and  died  in  Woodstock,  Vt. 

"I  will  give  you  the  names  and  address  of  two  cousins  which  it 
is  possible  can  help  you  to  dates  and  perhaps  other  items  :  Henry  R. 
Mack,  Hardwick,  Vt.,  and  Miss  Mary  M.  Mack.  16  Key  St.,  Ames- 
bury,  Mass. 

"Sir,  please  excuse  this  document,  written  by  one  that  has  passed 
her  80th  milestone.     I  should  be  pleased  to  learn  of  your  success. 

"Respectfully,  Harriet  Willis."

was  glad  to  receive  it  and  thank  you  for  it  and  the  information  you 
gave.     It  opened  to  my  memory  more  plain  your  grandfather's  family. 


Appendix  IV. — Sixth  Generation.  6oi 

especially    your    dear    mother,    Cordelia    Rebecca    Mack,    and    her 

brother,  Rufus  Simonds  Mack;  when  quite  young  think  they  lived 

a  few  years  with  some  of  their  relatives  or  friends  in   Plainfield.     I 

do    not   know  the   maiden   names   of  the  wives   of  any   of  the  four 

brothers   Mack,  except   my  grandmother's  which  was  Niles,  Caroline 

Niles.     Benjamin's  wife's  given  name  was  Abigail.     David  Mack's 

wife's  name  was  Sarah.     John  Mack's  wife's  name  I  do  not  recollect. 

Grandmother,   Caroline   (Niles)  Mack,  was  born  Oct.  14,  1760;  died 

Oct.    16,   1839.     My  grandparents,   Nehemiah    Mack    and    Caroline 

Niles,  I  think  were  married  about  the  year   1780  in  Conn.;  came  to 

Woodstock,  Vt.,  soon  after;  in  1795  o^  ^79^  moved  to  Plainfield,  Vt., 

then  a  wild  wilderness,  with  a  family  of  six  children,  four  sons  and 

two   daughters.     Will   give  their   names   according  to  birth :   Elisha 

Mack,   Polly   Mack,   who  was   my   mother,  William   Mack,   Zebulon 

Mack,  Nehemiah  Mack  and  Sally  Mack,  then  a  babe  ;  they  also  had 

two  sons  born  in  Plainfield,  Enos  Mack  and  John  Mack.     All  married 

but  Enos  ;  he  lived  and  died  single. 

"The  Macks  were  a  people  of  steady  habits,  strictly  honest  and 
religious.  My  grandparents,  Nehemiah  Mack  and  Caroline  (Niles) 
Mack  were  converted  and  united  with  the  Congregational  church  in 
Lyme,  1  think,  Conn,  Their  pastor's  name  I  think  was  Rev.  Daniel 
Miner.  I  write  this  from  my  best  recollection  as  I  received  it  from 
grandmother,  Caroline  (Niles)  Mack. 

"January  28,  1896. 

"Grandfather,  Nehemiah  Mack,  died  Jan.  3,  1828,  aged  74  years. 
Perhaps  your  mother  will  recollect  my  father's  family.  My  father's 
name  was  Richard  Kendrick.  If  able  I  will  later  write  some  more 
items  and  incidents  which  may  be  of  interest  to  you.  I  would  be 
glad  to  hear  from  you  when  you  receive  this. 

"Respectfully,  "Harriet  Willis. 

"P.  S.     Grandmother  has  been  quite  poorly  since  she  began  this 

and  she  wished  me  to  finish  it  for  her.

"Plainfield,  Vt.,  May  5,  1896. 

"Dear  Sir  : — My  last  letter  to  you  which  1  think  was  written  in 
January  was  not  able  to  finish.  As  my  health  by  the  blessing  of  God 
is  improved,  I  will  write  a  few  more  items.     Grandfather,  Nehemiah 


6o2  History  of  the  Mack  Family. 

Mack,  was  deacon  in  the  first  church  organized  in  Plainfield,  beloved 
by  his  church  and  respected  by  all  good  people  ;  the  reading  of  the 
word  of  God  and  prayer  daily  ascended  from  the  family  altar  ;  and 
being  dead  he  yet  speaketh.  When  he  came  to  Plainfield  there  were 
but  very  few  families  in  town.  He  made  his  pitch  in  the  center  of 
the  town,  although  then  the  end  of  the  road  and  one  mile  and  a  half 
from  a  neighbor. 

"The  third  winter  after  moving  to  Plainfield  my  mother,  Polly 
Mack's,  parents,  Nehemiah  Mack  and  Caroline  (Niles)  Mack,  with 
their  youngest  child,  Sally  Mack,  who  became  the  second  wife  of 
Edgar  V.  Wilson's  mother's  grandfather  George  Ayers,  went  to  Wood- 
stock to  visit  relatives.  They  rode  on  a  sled  drawn  by  oxen.  A 
great  contrast  from  that  and  the  present  speed  of  travel  and  comfort. 
It  took  four  weeks  for  the  journey  and  visit.  My  mother,  Polly 
Mack,  at  the  time  was  fourteen.  She  was  left  in  charge  of  the  home 
with  three  brothers  younger  than  herself.  Elisha  Mack  the  oldest 
brother  being  from  home. 

"My  mother's  brother,  Nehemiah  Mack,  died  at  Saratoga  Springs 
where  he  went  for  his  health  in  1821,  leaving  a  wife  and  three  small 
children.  My  mother's  brother,  John  Mack,  the  youngest  of  the 
family,  married  Irena  Wilson,  daughter  of  Daniel  Wilson  of  Plain- 
field.  They  had  four  children.  Only  one  is  living,  a  daughter  not 
married.  She  has  a  nice  home  at  Dery  Depot,  N.  H.,  that  her  father 
left  at  his  death.  Not  able  to  live  alone  she  rents  her  place  and 
boards  in  Henry  Wilson's  family,  a  cousin  living  in  Amesbury,  Mass. 
Name  Mary  M.  Mack.  I  gave  you  her  address  in  a  former  letter  I 
think. 

"You  thought  the  record  of  my  father,  Richard  Kendrick's, 
family,  also  that  of  my  family,  might  be  of  some  use  in  writing  a  his- 
tory of  the  Mack  family.  My  father,  Richard  Kendrick,  was  born  in 
Hanover,  N.  H.,  in  1780  ;  his  father  died  when  he  was  seven  years  ; 
he  then  went  to  Bethel,  Vt.,  lived  with  an  uncle.  When  fourteen  he 
came  with  his  uncle  to  reside  in  Plainfield,  Vt.  My  mother,  Polly 
Mack,  born  1 783,  Woodstock,  Vt.  My  parents  were  married  in  1808. 
Had  nine  children,  four  sons  and  five  daughters;  three  sons  and  two 
daughters  died  in  infancy.  My  brother,  the  oldest  of  our  family, 
married;  settled  in  Maine;  he  died  in  1854,  I  think.  My  oldest 
sister  married  Joseph  Scott ;  they  had  three  children,  all  have  fami- 


Appendix  IV. — Sixth  Generation.  603 

lies.  Sister  Scott  and  husband  died  in  1882  ;  both  died  in  the  same 
year.  My  other  sister,  Caroline  M.  Kendrick,  died  in  1881  :  not 
married. 

"I  come  now  to  speak  of  my  family,  My  husband,  Asa  Willis, 
and  myself  were  married  1844;  we  had  three  children,  daughters; 
Martha  C,  Mary  A.  and  Hattie  P.  Martha  married  Gardner  L. 
Heath,  of  Plainfield.  He  died  in  1883,  leaving  her  with  two  small 
children,  May  L.  and  Harley  VV.  Heath.  Mary  A.  Willis  married  F. 
B.  Cahill,  with  whom  is  my  home.  Hattie  P.  Willis,  the  youngest, 
married  Edwin  Bond  ;  had  two  children  ;  only  one  living.  I  live  on 
the  farm  my  husband  bought  before  our  marriage.  He  died  in 
March,  i860.     All  my  children  are  hving  near. 

"I  come  now  to  speak  of  your.  Edgar  \'.  Wilson's,  mother's 
grandfather,  George  Ayers,  and  give  some  few  items  which  I  heard 
from  him  ;  his  father  followed  the  sea  ;  died  at  sea  when  he,  uncle, 
was  a  little  lad.  After  his  father's  death  he  lived  with  an  uncle  seven 
years ;  he  said  in  that  time  the  sun  never  rose  on  him  in  bed.  He 
was  of  a  mild  even  temper,  kind  husband  and  father  and  neighbor, 
deacon  of  the  Congregational  church  many  years,  had  a  taste  for 
reading  and  a  great  memory ;  I  would  give  the  date  of  my  uncle  and 
aunt  Ayers'  birth  and  death,  if  able  to  visit  the  cemetery  where  they 
rest ;  it  is  some  seven  miles  away.  Did  not  Rev.  Daniel  A.  Mack 
establish  a  home  for  orphans  in  Winchendon,  Mass?  Will  you  please 
to  inform  respecting  it  ?  Remember  me  to  your  mother,  as  we  are 
related  in  two  wavs.  Pardon  all  errors  in  this  lengthy  writing.  Will 
you  inform  me  if  you  received  letter  No.  2  from  me  ?  Also  your 
success  in  the  undertaking  ?  Excuse  pencil  writing  ;  my  hand  is  not 
steady.  With  respect, 

"Harriet  Willis."

stage  name  is  "Kate  Claxton".  Appleton's  Cyclopedia  of 
American  Biography  says  of  her  :  ''Kate  Claxton,  actress,  b.  in 
New  York  City  in  184S.  She  first  appeared  with  Lotta  in 
Chicago,  soon  afterwards  became  a  member  of  Daly's  Fifth 
Avenue  Company,  and  then  of  the  Union  Square  Company,  but 
attracted  no  attention  till  the  production  of  'Led  Astray'  in  1873, 
in  which  she  won  great  popularity  as  Mathilde.  Soon  after- 
wards she  made  a  reputation  in  the  character  of  Louise  in  'The 
Two  Orphans,'  with  which  she  has  become  identified.  She 
played  it  first  at  the  Union  Square  Theatre,  and  was  acting  the 
part  at  the  Brooklyn  Theatre  when  that  building  was  destroyed 
by  fire  Dec.  5,  1876.  She  became  widely  known  for  her  coolness 
on  that  occasion,  and  by  her  eflforts  to  calm  the  audience  and 
prevent  the  rush  for  the  doors,  in  which  so  many  were  killed. 
Soon  afterwards  Miss  Claxton  was  in  the  Southern  Hotel  in  St. 
Louis  when  it  burned,  and  again  displayed  great  coolness  and 
energy,  saving  her  own  and  her  brother's  life,  and  escaping  by 
a  burning  stairway,  that  fell  just  after  her  foot  had  left  the  last 
step.  After  this  many  superstitious  people,  regarding  her  as 
specially  unlucky,  avoided  the  theatres  where  she  played.  She 
has  more  recently  played  in  Charles  Reade's  'Double  Marriage' 
and  in  the  'Sea  of  Ice'.  Miss  Claxton  married  Isidor  Lyon,  a 
New  York  merchant,  V)ut  was  subsequently  divorced,  and  in 
1876  married  Charles  Stevenson,  a  member  of  her  company."

36890.  Rev.  Thomas  Lamb  Eliot,  D.D.  The  History  of  the 
First  Unitarian  Church,  by  Rev.  Earl  Morse  Wilbur,  says : 

"Thomas  Lamb  Eliot,  pastor  of  the  First  Unitarian  Church  of 
Portland  for  the  twenty-five  years  from  its  organization,  was  born  in 
St.  Louis,  Missouri,  October  13,  1841.  He  is  the  eldest  son  of  Rev. 
William  Greenleaf  Eliot,  D.D.,  LL.D.,  and  Abigail  Adams  Eliot,  and 
comes  from  a  family  in  the  various  branches  of  which  there  have 
been  many  ministers.  His  father  was  the  pastor  of  the  Church  of 
the  Messiah  (Unitarian)  in  St.  Louis,  from  which  he  resigned  in 
187  I,  after  a  pastorate  of  nearly  forty  years,  that  he  might  devote  his 
whole  time  to  the  duties  which  he  had  already  long  performed  as 
Chancellor  of  Washington  University,  in  St.  Louis,  of  which  he  had 
been  one  of  the  founders.  He  was  not  only  one  of  the  leaders  in  the 
Unitarian  denomination,  but  a  man  of  great  influence  in  the  develop- 
ment of  the  city  of  St.  Louis,  an  inspirer  of  its  educational  and  philan- 
thropic interests  no  less  than  pastor  of  one  of  its  oldest  and  largest 
churches. 

"Mr.  Eliot  received  his  preparatory  and  collegiate  education  at 
Washington  University,  from  which  he  graduated  in  its  first  class  in 
1862,  and  from  which  he  also  received  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts 
in  1865.  His  studies  were  interrupted  midway  of  the  course  by  fail- 
ing eyesight ;  and  in  the  hope  of  receiving  benefit  he  undertook,  in 
i860,  a  voyage  in  a  sailing  vessel  around  Cape  Horn  to  China.  He 
experienced  no  improvement  from  the  trip,  however,  and  after  a  few 
weeks  in  California  returned  home  from  there,  to  continue  his  studies 
with  eyesight  so  impaired  that  for  months,  while  in  college  and 
Divinity  School,  he  had  to  have  his  books  read  to  him.  After  grad- 
uating from  college,  he  was  engaged  for  two  years  in  the  ministry-at- 
large  in  St.  Louis,  in  charge  of  the  mission  house  connected  with  his 
father's  church,  doing  much  work  in  its  large  Sunday  school,  and 
among  the  poor.  During  the  same  period  he  spent  a  part  of  his  time 
as  tutor  in  Latin  and  Greek  in  Washington  University.  In  the  early 
part  of  this  period,  also,  he  enlisted  in  the  First  Missouri  Volunteers, 


662  History  of  the  Mack  Family. 

was  mustered  in,  and  was  in  active  service  for  some  months,  though 
never  called  out  of  the  State. 

"Even  before  entering  college  he  had  resolved  to  enter  the 
Christian  ministry,  and  though,  on  account  of  his  weakened  eyesight, 
he  was  discouraged  from  this  purpose  by  all  except  Dr.  Eliot,  his 
father,  he  adhered  to  it,  and  after  graduating  from  college  studied 
more  or  less  under  his  father's  direction.  In  further  pursuance  of 
his  purpose  he  went,  in  the  fall  of  1864,  to  the  Harvard  Divinity 
School,  where  he  completed  the  course  the  next  year,  having  done 
two  years'  work  in  one.  Among  his  fellow-students  there  were  Joseph 
May,  now  of  Philadelphia  ;  S.  C.  Beach,  of  Bangor,  Maine  ;  James 
Vila  Blake,  of  Chicago ;  W.  E.  Copeland,  of  Salem,  Oregon  ;  H.  G. 
Spaulding,  of  Newton,  Mass.;  and  Charles  C.  Salter,  since  deceased. 
Having  left  the  Divinity  School  in  the  summer  of  1865,  he  supplied 
the  pulpit  of  Rev.  John  H.  Heywood,  in  Louisville,  Ky.,  for  several 
weeks,  and  then  returned  to  St.  Louis,  where  he  was  elected  associate 
pastor  of  his  father's  church.  He  was  ordained  there  November  19, 
1865.  Rev.  C.  A.  Staples,  of  Milwaukee,  Wis.,  preached  the  sermon 
from  the  text,  'Who  is  sufficient  for  these  things  ?'  Rev.  Dr.  Eliot 
offered  the  ordaining  prayer  and  gave  the  charge  ;  and  Rev.  A.  D. 
Mayo  of  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  gave  the  right  hand  of  fellowship. 

"He  was  married  Nov.  28,  1865,  to  Henrietta  Robins  Mack,  who 
has  ever  since  shared  with  him  the  labors  and  honors  of  his  work, 
and  the  love  of  the  people  to  whom  he  has  ministered.  Soon  after 
his  marriage  he  spent  several  weeks  in  New  Orleans,  where  he  sup- 
plied the  pulpit  of  the  Unitarian  church,  as  also  again  for  two  months 
in  the  spring  of  1867.  He  retained  his  connection  as  associate  pas- 
tor of  the  St.  Louis  church,  however,  until  November,  1867,  when  he 
resigned  to  accept  a  call  to  the  church  then  just  organized  in  Port- 
land, Oregon,  with  which  he  has  ever  since  been  connected.  At 
about  the  same  time  he  had  received  a  formal  call  from  the  New 
Orleans  church,  and  the  very  mail  which  brought  him  the  call  to  the 
church  in  Portland,  Oregon,  also  brought  him  a  letter  (practically 
equivalent  to  a  call)  inviting  him  to  preach  for  six  months  in  Port- 
land, Maine,  in  the  pulpit  left  vacant  by  the  coming  of  Rev.  Horatio 
Stebbins  to  SanFrancisco.  It  was  not  difficult  for  him  to  make  the 
choice.  Ever  since  his  visit  to  the  Pacific  Coast,  he  had  hoped  that 
Portland,  Oregon,  might  be  the  field  of  his  life  work.     Starr   King 


Appendix  V. — Sixth  Generation.  663 

had  said  to  him  then,  'The  Pacific  Coast  claims  every  man  who  has 
ever  seen  it,'  and  had  pointed  to  Oregon  and  Washington  Territory 
as  the  'coming  country'  of  Northwest  America.  The  impression 
which  he  then  received  of  the  great  opportunities  for  work  which  the 
Pacific  Coast  offered,  he  had  never  lost,  and  this  determined  him  to 
accept  the  call  to  the  western  Portland.  There  would  seem  to  have 
been  almost  a  special  providence  in  the  events  which  finally  led, 
though  through  devious  ways,  to  the  coming  together  of  the  newly 
formed  church  and  its  pastor,  as  there  has  surely  been  a  continuous 
providence  in  the  twenty-five  years  of  uninterrupted  harmony  which 
has  marked  their  relations  with  each  other. 

"Mr.  Eliot,  with  his  wife  and  infant  son,  left  St.  Louis  in  Novem- 
ber, 1867,  and  came  to  Portland  by  way  of  New  York  and  Panama. 
They  arrived  at  their  destination  early  on  Tuesday  morning,  Decem- 
ber 24,  after  a  journey  of  forty  days  and  forty  nights,  having  rested 
for  a  few  days  with  Rev.  Mr.  Stebbins  in  San  Francisco.  Mr.  Eliot 
was  at  that  time  quite  youthful  in  appearance,  and  was  known  for 
some  years  as  'the  boy  preacher'.  But  in  the  severe  labor  and  bitter 
opposition  that  he  and  his  church  had  to  encounter  during  the  next 
few  years,  he  showed  that  he  possessed  the  full  powers  of  a  man. 

"His  life,  since  the  day  of  his  arrival,  is  written  on  the  history  of 
the  Portland  church,  which  has  constantly  prospered  and  grown  under 
his  ministry.  To  his  own  character  and  influence  is  due  very  much 
of  the  influence  and  standing  that  his  church  has  gained  in  the  com- 
munity. His  work  has  never  been  narrowly  confined  to  his  particular 
parish  or  to  his  denomination.  He  has  done  more  or  less  missionary 
preaching  at  various  places  in  the  Pacific  Northwest,  in  which  his 
church  was  for  the  most  of  the  time  during  twenty  years  the  solitary 
pioneer  of  Liberal  Christianity. 

"Besides  strictly  religious  interests,  he  inherited  from  his  father, 
and  has  bequeathed  to  his  church,  an  earnest  devotion  to  philan- 
thropic and  educational  work  of  every  kind.  He  has  been  the 
inspirer  of  several  of  Portland's  most  prominent  institutions  of  philan- 
thropy, and  an  earnest  worker  in  behalf  of  almost  all  of  them.  His 
connection  with  the  Children's  Home,  the  Boys'  and  Girls'  Aid 
Society  of  Oregon,  and  the  Oregon  Humane  Society,  of  which  he  has 
been  President  for  ten  years,  deserves  especial  mention.  He  ren- 
dered important  service  in  securing  for  Oregon  legislation  establish- 


664  History  of  the  Mack  Family. 

ing  a  State  Board  of  Charities  and  Corrections,  the  first  of  its  kind 
on  the  Pacific  Coast.  He  seemed  for  many  years  ahnost  the  only 
person  in  Oregon  enough  interested  in  the  reform  of  its  disgraceful 
jails  to  do  any  active  work  for  them.  He  has  always  been  an  earnest 
supporter  of  the  temperance  movement,  and  of  Woman's  Suffrage. 
After  the  great  fire  in  Portland,  on  August  2,  1873,  he  was  appointed 
one  of  the  committee  of  five  to  distribute  the  citizens'  fund  of  relief, 
and  served  in  that  capacity  for  several  months.  Being  put  forward 
by  both  political  parties,  he  held  the  office  of  Superintendent  of 
Schools  in  Multnomah  County  for  two  terms,  from  1872  to  1875,  ^'"''^ 
did  much  to  bring  order  out  of  chaos  in  the  public  school  system. 
For  one  who  has  never  enjoyed  robust  health,  the  amount  of  work  he 
has  performed  in  his  church,  and  outside  of  it,  is  remarkable.  Ill 
health  has  thrice  compelled  him  to  leave  his  parish,  once  for  more 
than  a  year,  but  the  resignations  which  he  tendered  were  not  accepted. 

"Dr.  Eliot  is  an  easy  and  polished  speaker.  He  has  little  liking 
for  religious  controversy,  but  rather  has  a  strong  feeling  of  the  essen- 
tial unity  of  the  Church  Universal.  He  has  been  accustomed  in  his 
preaching  to  dwell  most  upon  the  positive  virtues  of  Christian  char- 
acter, and  has  striven  to  develop  the  deepest  religious  life  in  his 
hearers.  Churches  and  ministers  who  are  farthest  removed  from  his 
theology,  respect  and  love  him  as  a  man.  He  has  several  times  been 
invited  to  preach  baccalaureate  or  other  sermons  in  colleges  under 
the  control  of  Evangelical  churches,  and  has  been  frequently  offered 
exchanges  by  ministers  of  other  denominations. 

"Personally,  he  is  scholarly  in  his  tastes,  and  of  a  poetic  tem- 
perament. He  is  uniformly  courteous  and  kind  to  both  friends  and 
strangers,  and  though  of  a  somewhat  modest  and  retiring  disposition, 
he  never  hesitates  to  assert  his  convictions  when  there  is  occasion  to 
do  so  in  any  cause  of  humanity,  good  morals  or  pure  government. 
During  his  long  residence  in  Portland  he  has  won  the  love  of  all 
people,  and  to  no  minister  in  the  city  are  the  poor,  the  outcast  or  the 
unchurched  so  likely  to  go  for  the  offices  of  a  minister,  or  for  comfort 
or  personal  counsel,  as  to  him.  He  has  a  wide  reputation  and  influence 
throughout  the  Pacific  Northwest  among  men  of  all  ranks  and  classes, 
the  weight  of  which  has  more  than  once  been  felt  in  legislative  halls, 
in  behalf  of  philanthropy  and  good  government. 

"In  1889,  Harvard  University,  recognizing  Mr.  Eliot's  long  and 


Appendix  V. — Sixth  Generation.  665 

valuable  work  in  the  Northwest,  honored  him  with  the  degree  of 
Doctor  of  Divinity,  which  was  conferred  (an  unusual  distinction)  in 
his  absence. 

"Dr.  Eliot's  family  life  has  been  singularly  blessed.  Of  eight 
children,  seven  are  living.  The  eldest  is  Rev.  William  G.  Eliot,  Jr., 
pastor  of  the  Unitarian  Church  in  Seattle,  Washington. 

"Having  completed  the  honorable  term  of  twenty-five  years  as 
pastor  of  one  church,  Dr.  Eliot  resigned  his  pastorate  in  January, 
1893,  desiring  on  account  of  uncertain  health,  to  be  free  from  the 
heavy  obligations  it  imposed.  lie  has  been  elected  Pastor  Emeritus, 
however,  and  purposes  still  to  remain  with  the  church,  devoting  to  it 
as  much  of  his  time  and  strength  as  may  seem  desirable,  while  he 
will  also  feel  more  free  to  engage  in  philanthropic  work,  of  which 
so  much  still  remains  to  be  done,  and  in  which  he  feels  so  deep  an 
interest."

Appendix  VII. — Eighth  Generation.  691 

"Herbert  H.  Smith,  ex-'7i,  well  known  as  an  entomologist,  whose 
collection  of  books  relating  to  South  America  was  purchased  a  few 
years  ago  by  the  University,  has  just  returned  to  this  country  from  the 
United  States  of  Colombia.  Mr.  Smith  during  his  recent  trip  suf- 
fered all  sorts  of  hardships,  including  starvation,  small-pox  exposure, 
and  a  South  American  revolution. 

"It  reports  that  the  present  revolution  interfered  greatly  with  his 
work.  It  collected,  however,  235  cases  which  he  sent  to  the  Carne- 
gie museum  of  Pittsburg,  for  which  institution  he  took  the  trip  and 
where  he  will  resume  work.  Mr.  Smith  states  that  his  taste  for 
tropical  wandering  has  been  entirely  satiated.  This  may  be  doubted 
as  Mr.  Smith  got  his  liking  for  this  work  on  the  famous  Hart  expedi- 
tion which  went  to  Brazil  in  the  early  years  of  the  University."

The  Elniira  Telegram  of  Feb.  16,  1902,  says  of  him  : 

"General  John  E.  Mulford,  who  for  a  long  time  has  been  desirous 
of  being  relieved  from  the  presidency  and  the  active  management  of 
the  Elmira  &  Seneca  Lake  railway,  says  the  Free  Press,  has  finally 
succeeded,  his  Philadelphia  partners  having  reluctantly  consented  to 
his  wishes.  At  a  recent  meeting  his  successor  was  elected  and  he 
was  made  vice-president  and  director.  The  general  never  had  a 
desire  to  assume  the  active  duties  devolved  in  the  management  of  the 
road.  He  was  bound  to  build  it,  and  build  it  he  did.  After  this  was 
accomplished   he  wished  to   resign,   but   those   interested   with   him

would  not  listen  to  it.  However,  his  health  made  it  imperative.  His 
many  friends  are  pleased  to  see  him  take  the  much  needed  rest.  It 
was  a  long  pull  and  a  hard  pull,  but  the  general  was  equal  to  the 
occasion.  He  expects  to  leave  for  a  sojourn  in  Florida  shortly,  in 
company  with  Mrs.  Mulford."

"Men  of  New  York"  says  of  him  : 

"Norman  E.  Mack,  editor  and  proprietor  of  the  Buffalo  Times, 
and  widely  known  in  western  New  York  from  his  prominence  in 
political  life,  was  born  in  West  Williams,  Ontario,  in  1856.  His 
family  left  Canada  when  he  was  still  a  child,  and  took  up  their  resi- 
dence in  Pontiac,  Mich.,  in  1868.  There  Mr.  Mack  became  a  clerk 
in  a  business  house.  Both  the  mercantile  knowledge  and  disciplinary 
training  thus  obtained  were  of  great  value  in  his  important  business 
undertakings  later  in  life.  After  remaining  in  Pontiac  four  years,  he 
availed  himself  of  the  greater  opportunities  of  a  large  city  by  embark- 
ing in  the  advertising  business  in  Detroit  and  Chicago.  This  was 
his  first  experience  in  newspaper  work,  and  gave  him  an  insight  into 
a  most  important  part  of  the  publishing  business. 

"In  1874  Mr.  Mack  established  himself  in  Buffalo.  He  had 
then  been  engaged  in  the  advertising  business  two  years  and  was 
well  acquainted  with  many  branches  of  the  difficult  subject.  He 
continued,  therefore,  for  several  years  to  conduct  various  advertising 
enterprises  in  Buffalo.  Many  of  these  ventures  had  to  do  with  the 
press,  and  gave  him  considerable  experience  in  actual  newspaper 
making,  and  by  the  year  1878  he  felt  able  to  enter  the  journalistic 
world  as  a  publisher.  Establishing  the  Chautauqua  Lake  Gazette, 
accordingly,  at  Jamestown,  N.  Y.,  he  conducted  the  enterprise  with 
fair  success  for  some  months;  but  in  1879  ^^  received  a  favorable 
offer  for  the  paper,  and  disposed  of  the  property.

''In  September  of  the  same  year  Mr.  Mack  began  his  long  career 
in  Buffalo  journalism  by  founding  the  Sunday  Times.  For  a  while 
the  printing  was  done  outside  the  office,  and  not  until  1881  was  the 
first  press  purchased  for  the  new  paper;  while  the  first  number  of 
the  Daily  Times  was  issued  Dec.  13,  1883.  Since  the  latter  date  the 
paper  has  made  marked  progress  in  both  circulation  and  advertising 
patronage.  In  1886  additional  space  became  necessary  for  dispatch- 
ing the  enlarged  volume  of  business ;  and  the  Times  building  was 
secured  and  occupied.  In  June,  1887,  a  Hoe  perfecting  press  was 
placed  in  operation  ;  in  1892  another  Hoe  press,  a  counterpart  of  the 
first,  was  installed,  and  in  1895  a  Goss  'three-decker'  was  added  to 
the  plant.  In  1893  ten  Mergenthaler  lineotype  machines  were  set  up. 
in  the  composing  room,  superceding  the  old  system  of  setting  type  by 
hand. 

"Until  1884  the  Times  was  independent  in  politics,  but  in  the 
presidential  campaign  of  that  year  it  came  out  strongly  for  Cleve- 
land, and  has  ever  since  supported  the  regular  Democratic  nominees. 
Mr.  Mack  has  been  very  active  in  political  affairs  personally  as  Well 
as  journalistically,  and  has  had  an  important  part  in  the  counsels  of 
the  Democratic  leaders.  He  has  been  a  delegate  to  various  local 
and  state  conventions.  He  was  one  of  the  alternates  to  the  Demo- 
cratic National  Convention  of  1892,  and  was  the  New  York  member 
of  the  notification  committee  in  that  year.  He  represented  his  con- 
gressional district  on  the  Democratic  State  Committee  for  two  terms, 
declining  a  third  term.  He  was  a  delegate  to  the  Democratic 
National  Convention  of  1896,  and  was  a  member  of  the  state  com- 
mittee in  the  presidential  campaign  of  that  year.  He  supported  Mr. 
Bryan  vigorously,  and  enjoyed  his  confidence  in  a  high  degree.  Mr. 
Mack,  indeed,  was  probably  the  most  prominent  advocate  of  the 
'regular'  Democracy  in  western  New  York,  and  thereby  acquired 
great  favor  with  those  who  believed  in  that  cause. 

"Mr.  Mack  is  a  member  of  the  Buffalo,  the  Ellicott  and  the 
Press  Clubs,  of  the  Orpheus  and  Liedertafel  singing  societies,  and  of 
other  social  organizations. 

"He  married,  Dec.  22,  1891,  Harriet  B.  Taggart  of  Buffalo."

Dear  Sir — I  have  5'our  letter  of  Dec.  nth,  in  relation  to  the 
Mack  family.  I  notice  the  circular  yon  send  traces  the  Mack 
family  to  Scotland.  The  family  with  which  I  am  connected 
descended  from  Alexander  Mack,  who  came  from  Germany  and 
was  the  founder  of  the  Dunkards.  You  can  find  this  by  referring 
to  the  head  of  Dunkards  in  Encycloinedia  Britannica.  His  son 
•  was  Wm.  Mack.  His  son,  that  is  the  son  of  Wm.  Mack,  was 
Alexander  Mack,  who  died  in  this  county  in  the  '50's.  The 
son  of  the  last  Alexander  Mack  was  David  Mack,  my  father, 
who  died  recently.  If  this  famih'  has  any  connection  with 
what  you  are  looking  up  and  it  will  be  of  any  service  to  you  I 
can,  by  reference  to  an  old  family  Bible,  not  here  but  which  I 
can  get  at,  give  you  more  information.  Yours  respectfully, 
D.  E.  Mack."

The  first  ancestor  of  the  Dey  family  of  whom  we  have  knowledge 
was  Count  Isarn  de  Die,  Grand  Maitre  De  L'Ordre  Teutonique  Seig- 
neuri.in  France,  Premiere  Croisade,  1096,  whose  descendants,  left 
France,  after  the  Revocation  of  the  Edict  of  Nantes,  and  settled  in 
Scotland,  England  and  Holland.  The  will  of  Ralph  Goodwyn  of 
Northerlyngham,  dated  April  12,  15 18,  proved  April  24,  1518,  makes 
a  bequest  to  his  daughter,  Margaret  Dey,  and  her  sons,  Thomas  and 
William  Dey.

62000.  DiRCK  Jansen  Dev.  Dirck  Janszen  alias  Siecken 
(Sichen,  Sicken,  Sycan,  Zieken),  alias  Dirck  Janse  Dey,  came  from 
Amsterdam  at  an  early  date  and  settled  in  New  Amsterdam,  where 
he  married,  Dec.  2,  1C41,  Jannetje  Theunis,  who  came  from  Amster- 
dam. Me  and  John  Reiger  were  soldiers  in  the  service  of  the  West

Ileeren  Street,  and  striking  their  superior  officers  were  sentenced  to 
be  shot  Feb.  21.  1647.  He  afterwards  was  pardoned  and  obtained 
from  Gov.  Stuyvesant,  June  16,  1654,  a  patent  for  a  plantation  at 
Mingackqua,  near  Communipaw,  N.  J.,  which  he  sold  Feb.  13,  1679, 
to  Enoch  \'reeland  ;  and  a  patent  for  two  parcels  of  land  lying  at 
Pembrepogh.  He  was  admitted  April  26,  1657,  to  the  rights  of  a 
small  burgher  and  was  living  in  1665  by  the  land  gate.  In  1677 
Gov.  Andross  leased  to  him  for  thirty  years  the  Duke's  Bowery  or 
farm,  now  belonging  to  Trinity  Church,  and  after  that  date  he  lived 
upon   the   premises,  and   probably   died  there.     He    married  (2nd),

He  was  born  in  1725  (o.  1726),  near  Preakness,  N.  J.  Colonel  of 
the  Bergen  County  Regiment,  1776.  He  built  some  years  before 
the  Uey  house  at  Preakness,  N.  J.,  which  house  was  for  three  months 
during  1780,  the  headquarters  of  Gen.  Washington.  He  married,  in 
1 75 1,  Hester  Schuyler  (daughter  of  Philip  Schuyler  and  Hester 
Kingsland  [daughter  of  Hon.  Isaac  Kingsland,  member  of  the  Coun-

Witness.  Ester  Dey,  Junior.  Charter  Trustee  of  Rutgers  College." 
His  will  is  dated  Nov.  30,  1786;  proved  July  30,  1787.  It  is  on 
record  in  the  office  of  the  Secretary  of  State  at  Trenton,  N.  J. 
Colonel,  Bergen  County,  New  Jersey  Militia,  February  28,  1776; 
served  to  close  of  war;  member  of  New  Jersey  Assembly,  1777-84;

Revolutionary  War. 

The  New  York  Times,  Illustrated  Magazine,  for  Aug.  6,  1899, 
contained  the  following  account  of  the  Dey  House,  Washington's 
headquarters  : 

"About  two  miles  from  the  bustling,  modern  town  of  Paterson, 


74^  History  of  the  Dey  Family. 

N.  J.,  stands  a  house,  which  during  the  year  1780  was  for  three 
months  the  headquarters  of  Gen.  Washington.  It  is  beautifully 
situated  in  the  midst  of  an  undulating  plain,  bounded  by  the  Preak- 
ness  Mountain,  the  Passaic  River,  and  First  Mountain.  Through 
the  clefts  in  the  hill  lovely  vistas  of  the  far-reaching  mountains  may 
be  seen. 

"During  the  month  of  July,  1780,  the  American  Army  was  en- 
camped along  the  Totowa  Heights  near  the  Great  Falls  of  the  Passaic 
River.  The  camp  extended  for  nearly  seven  miles  from  Wagraw  on 
the  left  wing  to  Singack  or  Lower  Preakness  on  the  right.  The 
advanced  guard  was  below  the  Passaic  and  some  miles  from  the 
headquarters.  The  grand  parade  ground  was  near  the  falls  on  the 
spot  over  which  the  Second  Ward  of  the  City  of  Paterson  has  been 
built.  Among  the  officers  who  were  with  the  army  in  camp  were 
Lafayette,  St.  Clair,  Lord  Stirling,  Knox  and  Lee.  The  house  in 
which  Lafaj'ette  had  his  headquarters  was  the  residence  of  Samuel 
VanSaun,  and  was  about  one  mile  from  the  Uey  House.  When 
Lafayette  revisited  America  in  1824-5  ^e  passed  the  camp  and  saw 
that  his  soldiers  had  put  up  a  board  sign  to  designate  the  spot  which 
had  been  his  headquarters.  For  many  years  the  remains  of  this 
camp  could  still  be  seen.  The  ovens  which  the  soldiers  had  built  for 
their  baking  were  visible  as  late  as  forty  years  ago.  Mr.  William 
Nelson,  writing  in  The  Magazine  of  American  History,  mentions  a 
tradition  to  the  effect  that  Washington  erected  a  look-out  on  the 
summit  of  a  peak,  from  which  he  could  obtain  a  clear  view  of  the 
country  for  twenty  miles,  including  New  York,  Newark,  Elizabeth- 
town,  Haverstraw  and  Hackensack.  Still  another  tradition  asserts 
that  he  had  ordered  great  masses  of  stone  to  be  piled  up  on  this  hill 
to  be  rolled  down  upon  the  enemy  if  they  attempted  to  force  a  way 
up  the  gap. 

"The  house  used  by  Gen.  Washington  for  headquarters  belonged 
to  Col.  Theunis  Dey  of  Saddle  River.  It  is  two  stories  in  height 
with  a  gambrel  roof,  and  is  about  52  feet  long  and  30  broad.  The 
front  is  of  brick  and  brown  sandstone.  The  sides  and  rear  are  of 
rubble-work,  trimmed  with  brick.  The  walls  are  laid  in  yellow  clay 
pointed  with  mortar,  and  even  today  are  in  perfect  condition.  All 
the  timbers  are  of  oak,  of  immense  size  and  strength,  and  all  fastened 
together  by   huge  wooden   pins.     A  large   hall   12    feet    wide    runs 


Fourth   Generation.  749 

through  the  middle  of  the  building.  On  each  side  of  this  there  are 
two  rooms  with  fire-places  faced  with  brown  sandstone  in  each.  The 
ceilings  are  10  feet  high,  but  in  the  second  story  they  are  only  8  feet. 
Our  chief  source  of  information  as  to  what  part  of  the  dwelling  was 
occupied  by  Gen.  Washington,  is  the  account  left  by  a  French  noble- 
man, the  Marquis  de  Chastellux,  who  visited  the  General  while  at 
Preakness.  The  Marquis  traveled  extensively  in  the  United  States 
during  the  years  1780-82,  and  published  his  recollections  of  his 
journeys  some  years  later.  (Voyages  de  M.  Le  Marquis  de  Chastel- 
lux dans  I'Ame'rique  Septentrionale  dans  les  Anne'es  1780,  1781,  et 
1782.  Paris,  1786.)  In  November,  1780,  he  arrived  at  Preakness 
and  soon  after  met  Gen.  Washington. 

"It  may  be  of  interest  to  reproduce  here  his  narrative  of  his  re- 
ception by  Washington  and  of  what  he  saw  while  a  guest  at  head- 
quarters. C)n  arriving  at  the  house  he  recognized  it  as  headquarters 
by  'a  large  tent  in  front  and  many  carriages  drawn  up  around'.  He 
continues  thus  :  'M.  de  la  Fayette  was  conversing  in  the  courtyard 
with  a  large  man  of  5  feet  9  inches,  of  a  pleasant  and  noble  figure ; 
it  was  the  General  himself.  1  had  soon  dismounted  and  was  close  to 
liim.  The  compliments  were  short;  the  sentiment  which  animated 
me  and  the  good  will  which  he  exhibited  were  not  equivocal.  He 
led  me  into  the  house,  where  I  found  some  people  still  at  table, 
although  dinner  had  long  been  finished.  He  presented  me  to  Gens. 
Knox,  Wayne,  Howe,  &c.,  and  to  his  'family,'  composed  then  of  Cols. 
Hamilton  and  Tilghman,  his  secretary  and  aides  de  camp,  and  Major 
Gibbs,  Commandant  of  his  Guards  ;  because  in  England  and  America 
the  aides  de  camp,  adjutants,  and  other  officers  attached  to  the  Gen- 
eral form  what  is  called  his  family.  A  new  dinner  was  brought  to  us 
and  the  former  one  was  prolonged  to  keep  me  company.  A  few 
glasses  of  claret  and  Madeira  quickened  the  acquaintances  which  I 
had  to  make,  and  I  soon  found  myself  at  ease  near  the  greatest  and 
best  of  men.  The  goodness  and  kindness  which  characterize  him 
are  to  be  perceived  in  everything  which  surrounds  him  ;  but  the  con- 
fidence which  he  gives  is  never  familiar,  because  the  sentiment  which 
he  inspires  has  in  all  individuals  the  same  origin— a  pcofound  esteem 
for  his  virtues  and  a  high  opinion  of  his  talents.  About  9  o'clock  in 
the  evening  the  general  ofl[icers  retired  and  went  to  their  quarters, 
which  were  all  far  away;  but  as  the  General  had  wished'that  I  should 


750  History  of  the  Dey  Family. 

stay  with  him,  I  remained  some  time  longer,  after  which  he  conducted 
me  to  a  chamber,  which  formed  a  quarter  of  the  lodging  that  he 
occupied.  He  made  excuses  on  the  little  space  of  which  he  could 
dispose,  but  always  with  a  noble  politeness  which  was  neither  annoy- 
ing nor  complimentary. 

"  'The  next  morning  at  9  o'clock  I  was  told  that  his  Excellency 
had  entered  the  parlor ;  this  room  served  both  for  audience  chamber 
and  dining  room,  (for  Washington  only  ;  the  staff"  dined  in  the  large 
hall).  While  we  were  breakfasting  Gen.  Washington  ordered  his 
horses  to  be  brought  up  and  the  army  to  prepare  for  a  parade.'  After 
that  they  returned  to  headquarters  for  dinner.  'The  repast  was 
served  in  the  English  fashion,  with  eight  or  ten  large  dishes  of  meat 
and  game,  accompanied  by  several  kinds  of  vegetables,  and  followed 
by  a  second  course  of  pastry,  comprised  under  the  name  of  'Pyes  & 
Powding'.  After  these  were  served  apples  and  many  nuts,  which  the 
General  usually  eats  for  two  hours,  (in  the  words  of  the  Marquis 
himself),  tout  en  tostant  et  en  faisant  la  conversation'.  At  8  o'clock 
in  the  evening  supper  was  served.  In  fact,  it  seems  as  if  much  of 
Washington's  time  must  have  been  spent  in  eating.  This  meal  con- 
sisted of  'three  or  four  light  dishes,  some  fruit  and  a  great  abundance 
of  nuts,  which  were  no  worse  received  in  the  evening  than  in  the 
morning.'  " 

"According  to  de  Chastellux,  Washington  occupied  four  rooms 
in  the  Dey  house.  It  is  said  that  he  had  them  papered  at  his  own 
expense,  and  that  the  paper  then  put  on  remained  until  about  twenty 
years  ago. 

"Col.  Theunis  Dey,  the  owner  of  the  house,  was  the  descendant 
of  an  old  Dutch  family  of  New  York.  In  the  records  of  the  Reformed 
Dutch  Church  in  New  Amsterdam  under  the  date  of  Dec.  28,  1641, 
is  the  marriage  of  'Dirck  Janszen,  van  Amsterdam  en  Jannetje  Theu- 
nis'. Their  son  Theunis  was  baptized  Sept.  24,  1656.  In  1685  he 
married  Anneke  Schouten.  He  owned  a  farm  of  five  and  a  half  | 
acres,  309  feet  front  on  Broadway  and  800  feet  deep  to  the  Hudson! 
River,  the  farm  being  now  intersected  by  Dey  Street.  His  son  was 
Dirck,  who  was  'of  the  County  of  Bergen,' and  who  bought  in  17 17  a] 
tract  of  600  acres  in  Singack  Brook  (near  Preakness). 

"His  son  Theunis  was  the  proprietor  of  the  house  which  he  hadj 
probably  built  some  years  before.     He  was  Colonel  of  the   Bergen 


Fourth   Generation.  '       751 

County  Regiment  in  1776,  his  son  Richard  (Dirck)  Dey  being  Major 
in  the  same  regiment.  This  Richard  later  became  Sheriff  of  Bergen 
County  and  Major  General  of  militia.  In  1801  he  sold  the  home- 
stead, with  355  acres  of  land,  for  ;if3,ooo.  Richard's  son  Anthony 
was  one  of  the  founders  of  Jersey  City,  and  was  for  many  years  a 
prominent  citizen  of  that  place.  The  name  of  Dey  has  now  disap- 
peared from  Preakness  except  for  a  solitary  inscription  on  a  crumbling 
stone  in  the  family  burying  ground  back  of  the  house,  which  states 
that  'Mere  lies  buried  the  body  of  Ann  Dey,  daughter  of  Theunis  Dey 
and  Hester  Dey.  She  died  Jan.  7,  1774,  in  the  eighteenth  year  of 
her  age'. 

"The  wife  of  Col.  Theunis  Dey  was  Hester  Schuyler,  daughter 
of  Philip  Schuyler  and  Hester  Kingsland.  This  Philip  Schuyler  was 
the  eldest  son  of  Arent,  son  of  Philip  Pieterse  Schuyler,  the  first  of 
the  name  in  this  country. 

"The  large  estate  of  the  Deys  at  Preakness  has  been  slowly 
reduced  in  size  during  the  last  hundred  years,  and  hardly  anything  is 
left  of  the  wide  acres  of  field  and  wood  which  the  family  originally 
held.  But  the  old  house  still  stands  in  as  good  condition  as  when  it 
was  built,  and  is  pointed  to  with  pride  by  the  antiquarians  of  the 
neighborhood  as  the  house  which  was  for  months  Washington's 
headquarters. 

"Montgomery  Schuyler,  Jr." 

The  Magazine  of  American  History  for  August,  1879,  contains 
the  following  account  of  the  same  house  : 

"During  the  first  three  weeks  of  July,  1780,  Washington  had  his 
headquarters  at  Preakness,  New  Jersey,  lodging  at  the  house  of 
Colonel  Theunis  Dey.  The  main  body  of  the  army  was  encamped 
along  the  Totowa  Heights,  near  the  Great  Falls  of  the  Passaic  river. 
Colonel  Moyland's  Pennsylvania  Dragoons  occupying  an  advanced 
position  at  the  Little  Falls,  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  river,  while 
the  Marquis  de  la  Fayette  had  his  headquarters  at  the  residence  of 
Samuel  VanSaun,  near  Sandford's  race  track,  and  about  a  mile  from 
the  Dey  house. 

"From  October  9  until  November  27,  1780,  the  army  was  again 
encamped  at  Totowa,  evidently  on  the  same  site  as  during  the  pre- 
ceding July  ;  but  as  there  was  a  greater  array  of  troops  at  this  time, 


752  History  of  the  Dey  Family. 

they  covered  a  more  extended  area.  Lafayette  now  held  the  left,  his 
Light  Infantry  corps,  formed  in  August,  with  Major  Lee's  Virginia 
Troop  of  Light  Horse,  occupying  a  small  elevation  on  the  extreme 
east,  along  the  eastern  bank  of  the  GofiBe  stream,  where  it  fiows  into 
the  Passaic  river,  not  far  from  the  present  suburb  of  Paterson, 
known  as  Hawthorne.  He  had  his  headquarters  near  the  Ryerson 
homestead,  Mr.  Richard  Degray's  barn  now  occupying  almost  the 
precise  site.  On  his  left  stretched  a  fine  plain,  for  a  mile,  to  the 
Wagraw  neighborhood.  When  he  revisited  the  United  States  in 
1824-5,  he  passed  through  this  locality  and  was  amused  to  see  that 
some  of  his  former  soldiers  had  remembered  the  old  camp,  and  had 
put  up  a  rough  board  sign  to  designate  it,  on  the  Goffle  brook. 

"The  main  army  was  encamped  on  a  broad  plateau  stretching 
from  the  Passaic  river  perhaps  half  a  mile,  to  the  base  of  the  Preak- 
ness  mountain,  and  at  an  elevation  of  from  fifty  to  one  hundred  and 
fifty  feet  above  the  river,  so  that  it  was  admirably  situated  for  de- 
fence. Several  ample  fields  afforded  fine  opportunities  for  exercising 
the  troops  in  military  evolutions.  The  Grand  Parade  ground  was 
near  the  Falls,  the  spot  being  now  built  over  by  the  second  ward  of 
the  city  of  Paterson,  then  undreamed  of.  The  army  was  stretched 
along  the  base  of  the  Preakness  hills  for  a  distance  of  six  or  seven 
miles,  from  Wagraw  on  the  left  wing  to  Lower  Preakness,  or  Singack, 
as  it  is  generally  called,  on  the  right.  The  advanced  guard,  consist- 
ing of  Moyland's  Dragoons  and  Major  Parr's  Rifle  Corps,  were  sta- 
tioned south  of  the  Passaic  river,  the  former  near  the  Little  Falls,  to 
protect  the  approach  from  Newark  and  Elizabethtown  from  the  west 
side  of  the  First  Mountain,  as  well  as  the  road  through  the  Great 
Notch,  while  the  Rifle  Corps  occupied  a  broad  ravine  northeast  of  the 
Notch,  in  a  position  to  command  it,  and  also  to  patrol  the  roads  lead- 
ing into  it  from  Acquackanonk  and  Newark.  Although  Major  Parr's 
corps  held  this  post  less  than  two  weeks,  being  then  removed  a  mile 
or  two  further  west,  where  he  could  protect  the  Cranetown  Gap  and 
the  Notch  at  the  same  time,  his  former  position  is  to  this  day  known 
by  the  people  in  the  neighborhood  as  'The  Rifle  Camp'.  Thirty  or 
forty  years  ago,  the  remains  were  still  plainly  visible  of  the  ovens 
built  by  the  riflemen  for  their  meagre  baking.  It  is  said  that  Wash- 
ington caused  a  lookout  to  be  erected  on  the  summit  of  the  peak  on 
the  east  side  of  the  Notch,  whence  he   could   obtain   a  clear  view  of 


Fourth    Generation.  y53 

the  whole  country  for  twenty  miles  or  more,  including  New  York, 
Newark,  Elizabethtown,  Haverstraw,  Hackensack,  etc.  Tradition 
also  asserts  that  he  caused  great  masses  of  stones  to  be  piled  up.  on 
this  hill,  to  be  rolled  down  upon  any  troops  that  might  undertake  to 
force  a  passage  through  the  gap. 

"The  General  doubtless  had  pleasant  recollections  of  his  first 
stay  at  the  Dey  mansion,  and  therefore  occupied  it  in  October  and 
November,  when  the  army  was  again  in  the  vicinity.  It  certainly 
was  not  at  all  convenient  to  the  army  ;  so  remote,  indeed,  that  he  felt 
constrained  to  relieve  the  officers  of  the  day  from  attending  at  head- 
quarters 'when  there  was  nothing  more  than  common  to  report'. 
General  Knox,  with  his  artillery,  may  have  been  within  a  mile  or  two 
of  headquarters ;  the  main  body  of  the  army  was  at  least  three  or 
four  miles  distant,  while  Lafayette  was  seven  or  eight  miles  from 
Washington  ;  Moyland's  Dragoons  and  Parr's  Riflemen  were  from 
two  to  four  miles  to  the  southwest.  It  is  a  common  tradition  in  the 
neighborhood,  and  one  borne  out  by  contemporaneous  records,  that 
Washington  had  reason  at  this  time  to  anticipate  attempts  to  efl^ect 
his  capture  ;  consequently,  there  was  excellent  cause  for  his  keeping 
himself  out  of  the  reach  of  possible  raids  by  Simcoe's  daring  cavalry, 
or  any  other  party  that  might  seek  to  secure  his  person.  His  selec- 
tion of  camp  ground  and  headquarters  was  well  calculated  to  prevent 
surprise.  The  First  Mountain  formed  a  natural  defence  for  his 
army;  the  Passaic  river  another;  back  of  that  arose  a  steep  bluff, 
surmounted  by  the  plateau  already  mentioned  ;  then  came  the  Preak- 
ness  hill ;  over  this  range,  in  one  of  the  most  beautiful  valleys,  stood 
the  dwelling  of  Colonel  Dey.  Charming  vistas  extended  for  many 
miles  through  the  openings  in  the  mountains  in  almost  every  direc- 
tion, and  the  plain  was  traversed  by  roads  leading  to  Newark,  Eliza- 
bethtown, Springfield,  Middletown  and  Southern  New  Jersey ;  to 
Totowa,  Acquackanonk  and  Hackensack  on  the  southeast,  and  Para- 
mus,  Pompton  and  Ringwood  toward  the  northeast. 

"A  century  ago,  tlie  building  must  have  been  one  of  the  finest  in 
New  Jersey,  for  it  is  yet  remarkable  for  its  architectural  symmetry 
and  the  artistic  finish  of  the  masonry.  It  is  about  one  hundred  yards 
from  the  main  road,  facing  south  ;  it  is  two  stories  in  height,  with  a 
double  pitch  roof,  through  which  a  recent  owner  has  pierced  some 
.vindows,  giving  it  the  appearance  of  a  mansard.     The  building  is 


754  History  of  the  Dey  Family. 

about  fifty-two  feet  long,  and  about  thirty  feet  deep.  The  front  is  of 
brick,  the  doorway  and  windows  trimmed  with  polished  brown  sand- 
stone, squared  and  set  in  the  most  accurate  manner  ;  the  sides  and 
rear  are  of  rubble  work,  the  windows  and  doors  trimmed  with  brick, 
the  sides  above  the  eaves  being  carried  up  in  brick.  All  the  masonry 
is  laid  up  in  yellow  clay,  pointed  on  the  outside  with  mortar,  yet  the 
walls  are  perfectly  firm,  and  are  apparently  good  for  another  hundred 
years.  The  timbers,  where  exposed,  in  the  cellar  and  attic,  are  of 
hewn  oak,  of  the  most  massive  description,  and  all  morticed  and 
pinned  with  wooden  pins.  Through  the  centre,  from  south  to  north, 
runs  a  hall,  twelve  feet  wide,  on  either  side  of  which  are  two  rooms, 
a  fireplace  faced  with  rubbed  brown  sandstone  in  each.  The  ceilings 
on  the  first  floor  are  about  nine  feet,  and  on  the  second  floor  eight 
feet  high.  Nearly  all  the  rooms  are  decorated  with  quaint  old  wooden 
cornices,  grooved  in  a  peculiar  manner.  According  to  the  Marquis 
de  Chastellux,  Washington  occupied  four  of  the  rooms — probably  two 
on  each  floor.  Tradition  has  mainly  preserved  reminiscences  of  one 
room — in  the  southeast  corner  of  the  first  floor  ;  this  is  pointed  out 
as  'Washington's  room'.  It  was  his  audience  chamber  and  dining 
room  ;  the  family  dined  in  the  great  hall.  The  space  above  the  fire- 
place in  the  General's  ofiice  is  ornamented  with  elaborate  paneling 
and  grooved  woodwork,  to  correspond  with  the  cornices.  The  walls, 
Washington  is  said  to  have  had  papered  at  his  own  expense,  and  the 
paper  was  not  removed  until  about  ten  years  ago.  The  account 
given  by  de  Chastellux  of  his  stay  at  this  house  in  November,  1780, 
is  one  of  the  most  entertaining  passages  in  his  exceedingly  interesting 
'Travels,'  and  the  glimpse  it  gives  of  Washington  at  the  table  is 
charming. 

"So  far  as  is  known,  the  British  never  attempted  to  molest  the 
American  troops  at  Totowa  but  once.  Then  a  party  of  the  Conti- 
nentals who  had  been  on  a  foray  toward  Acquackanonk,  were  chased 
by  Hessians.  They  retreated  successfully  across  the  Totowa  bridge, 
which  they  destroyed.  The  British  followed,  and  in  their  eager  haste 
attempted  to  wade  through  the  river,  here  quite  shallow,  the  officers 
mounted  on  the  backs  of  the  privates  I  A  few  volleys  from  the 
Americans  on  the  opposite  Heights  checked  their  ardor,  and  they 
hastily  retired. 

"A  few  words  may  not  be  out  of  place  regarding  the  Dey  family. 


Fourth   Generation.  755 

In  the  records  of  the  Reformed  Dutch  Church  of  New  York  we  find 
the  marriage  on  December  28,  1641,  of  'Dirck  Janszen,  j.  m.  Van 
Amsterd,  en  Jannetje  Theunis,  j.  d.  als  Voren'.  The  bachelor  and 
spinster  were  both  from  Amsterdam.  According  to  the  Dutch  cus- 
tom, their  first  son  was  named  Jan,  after  his  paternal  grandfather, 
and  the  second,  baptized  September  24,  1656,  received  the  name  of 
his  maternal  grandfather,  Teunis.  Among  the  same  records  we  find, 
January  i6,  1685,  'Teiinis  Deij,  j.  M.,  Van  N.  Yorck,  en  Anneken 
Schouten,  j.  d.  als  boven,  beijde  wonende  alhier'.  Teunis  owned  a 
farm  of  five  and  a  half  acres,  309  feet  front  on  Broadway,  and  800 
feet  deep  to  the  Hudson  River,  the  farm  being  now  intersected  by 
Dey  street.  He  had  a  son  Dirck,  baptized  in  New  York  March  27, 
1687.  In  1717  (October  9),  Dirrick  Dey,  'of  the  County  of  Bergen 
in  the  Province  of  East  New  Jersey,  yeoman,'  bought  for  £120  of  the 
heirs  of  Thomas  Hart,  one  of  the  original  Twelve  Proprietors  of  East 
Jersey,  a  tract  of  land  on  the  'Singhack  Brook,'  containing  600  acres, 
'besides  ten  in  the  hundred  allowance  for  Barrens  and  highways'.  In 
1730,  'Dirick  Dey  of  Pachgannick,  yeoman,"  for  ;^5o  bought  of  Peter 
Sonmans  a  triangular  plot  of  200  acres  in  the  same  neighborhood. 
He  left  a  son  Theunis,  who  probably  erected  the  dwelling  which  Wash- 
ington made  his  headquarters.  He  was  a  Colonel  of  the  Bergen 
County  Regiment  of  Militia  in  the  early  part  of  1776,  his  son  Richard 
(Derrick)  being  Captain  in  the  same  regiment,  and  afterwards  Major. 
Theunis  was  in  the  New  Jersey  Assembly  in  1776,  and  in  1779,  1780 
and  I  781  represented  Bergen  County  in  the  Council,  returning  to  the 
Assembly  in  1783.  In  1780,  Mrs.  Colonel  (Theunis)  Dey  and  Mrs. 
Major  (Richard)  Dey  were  appointed  on  the  Committee  of  Bergen 
County  Ladies  to  raise  funds  for  the  relief  of  the  American  troops. 
Soon  after  the  war,  Richard  Dey  was  Sheriff  of  Bergen  County, 
County  Collector,  General  of  Militia,  and  held  other  oflfices.  In  1801 
he  sold  his  homestead,  with  355  acres  of  land,  to  Garret  Neafie  and 
John  Neafie,  of  New  York  City,  for  £3,000.  The  Deys  have  utterly 
disappeared  from  Preakness  for  nearly  three-quarters  of  a  century, 
and  the  very  name  of  this  once  wealthy  and  powerful  family  is  scarcely 
remembered  in  the  region  they  once  controlled.  A  son  of  Richard, 
Anthony  Dey,  was  one  of  the  founders  of  Jersey  City,  and  for  many 
years  wielded  great  influence  there.  Others  of  the  family  removed 
early  in  the  present  century  to  Onondaga  County,  N.  Y.     Their  once

proud  estate  at  Singack  has  passed  through  many  hands  during  the 
last  seventy  years,  and  now  the  homestead,  sadly  shorn  of  its  princely 
area,  is  owned  by  Dr.  John  M.  Howe,  of  Passaic,  N.  J.,  but  is  only 
occupied  by  his  farmer,  more  than  half  the  house  being  vacant.

The  same  magazine  for  Sept.,  1879,  contains  the  following  letter  : 

"The  Dey  house  was  built  by  Dirck  Dey,  father  of  Col.  Theunis, 
in  1720.  The  children  of  Col.  Theunis  were  all  born  there  as  well  as 
those  of  his  eldest  son,  Richard  Dey,  my  grandfather,  Anthony  Dey, 
being  his  eldest  child  and  recording  the  fact  in  the  family  Bible.  At 
the  death  of  Richard  Dey,  in  181 1,  his  widow  and  family,  with  the 
exception  of  his  eldest  son,  my  grandfather.  Anthony  Dey,  who  re- 
sided in  this  city,  removed  to  Seneca  Co. — not  Onondaga  as  Wm. 
Nelson  says  (Mag.  HI.,  495)  in  his  sketch  of  headquarters.

Lossing's  Field  Book  of  the  Revolution,  says  of  him : 

"Richard  Varick  was  born  at  Hackensack,  N.  J.,  March  25, 
1753;  died  in  Jersey  City,  July  30,  1831.  He  was  a  lawyer  in  the

entered  the  service  as  Captain  in  McDougall's  Regiment.  Soon 
afterwards  he  became  General  Schuyler's  military  secretary,  and  re- 
mained so  until  that  officer  was  superceded  by  Gates  in  the  summer 
of  1777.  continuing  with  the  army,  with  the  rank  of  Colonel,  until 
the  capture  of  Burgoyne.  Varick  was  Inspector-General  at  West

near  the  close  of  the  Revolution.  When  ihe  British  evacuated  the 
City  of  New  York  (Nov.  25,  1783),  Colonel  Varick  was  made  Re- 
corder there,  and  held  the  office  until  1789,  when  he  became  Attorney 
General  of  the  state.  Afterwards  he  was  elected  Mayor  of  New 
York,  and  held  that  office  until  1801.  He  and  Samuel  Jones  were 
appointed  (1786)  to  revise  the  laws  of  the  State  of  New  York,  and  in 
1787  he  was  speaker  of  the  Assembly.  Colonel  Varick  was  one  of 
the  founders  of  the  American  Bible  Society.  In  person  he  was  over 
six  feet  in  height,  and  of  imposing  presence." 

John  Schuyler's  History  of  the  Society  of  the  Cincinnati  in  New 
York,  says  of  him  : 

"At  the  time  of  his  birth  his  parents  were  living  at  Hackensack, 
N.  J.  When  the  Revolution  broke  out,  he  having  been  practicing 
his  profession,  the  law,  in  New  York  City,  joined  the  army  in  1775, 
and  was  appointed  a  Captain  in  the  ist  New  York  Continental  Infan- 
try, under  Colonel  McDougall.  On  the  loth  of  April,  1777,  being  at 
that  time  the  Military  Secretary  of  Gen.  Schuyler,  Congress  conferred 
upon  him  the  position  of  Deputy  Muster-Master  General  of  the 
Northern  Department,  with  the  rank  of  Lieutenant  Colonel,  and  he 
was  on  duty  organizing  and  keeping  up  the  quotas  as  far  as  possible 
to  their  full  standard,  and  preparing  the  requirements  necessary  to

impede  the  advance  of  Gen.  John  Burgoyne,  who  had  already  made 
such  a  formidable  entrance  to  the  state  by  way  of  Lake  Champlain. 
He  was  present  at  his  final  total  defeat  and  surrender  at  Gen.  Schuy- 
ler's headquarters  at  the  confluence  of  the  Fish-Creek  and  the  Hud- 
son, near  where  the  aqueduct  of  the  Champlain  Canal  now  stands. 
In  the  following  year  the  office  having  been  abolished,  he  acted  as 
Inspector-General  at  West  Point  on  the  staff  of  Gen.  Arnold,  until 
after  the  discovery  of  his  meditated  treason,  when  Washington  took 
him  into  his  'military  family'  as  Recording  Secretary  of  his  official 
and  private  correspondence,  which  position  he  held  during  the  war. 
He  accepted  the  office  of  Recorder  of  the  City  of  New  York  in  1783, 
and  in  the  next  year  was  elected  a  member  of  the  State  Legislature, 
when,  with  Samuel  Jones,  he  was  appointed  to  revise  the  Statutes  of 
the  State,  issued  in  1789.  fie  presided  as  Speaker  of  the  Assem-

He  was  President  of  the  New  York  Society  of  the  Cincinnati  from 
1806  until  his  decease,  which  occurred  at  his  residence  in  Jersey 
City,  upon  which  occasion  the  society  issued  the  general  order  to 
attend  his  funeral  from  the  Dutch  Church,  corner  of  Cedar  and 
Nassau  Streets,  wearing  the  usual  badge  of  mourning  for  thirty  days, 
at  the  same  time  expressing  the  following  sentiments :  'That  his 
courtesy  and  kindness  to  the  members,  his  liberality  to  such  of  the 
descendants  of  deceased  members  as  needed  it,  and  his  attachment 
to  this.  Institution,  can  never  be  forgotten.'  "

his  time  in  the  State  of  New  York.     He  owned  at  one  time   all  the 
land  where  the  City  of  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  now  stands. 

John  Schuyler's  History  of  the  Society  of  the  Cincinnati  in  the 
State  of  New  York,  says  of  him  : 

"He   was  born   Christmas,  1756,  in   Ulster  County,  N.  Y.     He 
with  fourteen  others  signed  the  articles  of  Association  at  Rochester, 
Ulster  Co.,  N.  Y.,  July  6,  1775,  his  father  being  chairman.     While  at 
Queen's  College,  New  Brunswick,  N.  J.,  he  enrolled  in   a  company 
composed  of  its  students,  and  when  it  was  broken  up  by  the  capture, 
he  went  to  reside  with   his  uncle,  Gen.  James  Clinton.     He  joined 
the  line  of  the  Continental  Army  as  a  volunteer  and  was  present  at 
the  surrender  of  Burgoyne.     Washington  selected  him  as  Assistant 
Geographer  of  the  army  from  1778  to  1780,  when  he  was  appointed 
by  Congress,   Dec.  4,  1780,  its  Geographer.     He  continued  in  that 
capacity  and  as  Chief  of   Typographical   Engineers,  in  the  place  of 
Col.  Erskin,  who  resigned  and  returned  to    Europe,  till   the  close  of 
the  war.      He  was  present  at  Yorktown,  giving  effective  service  both 
there  and  on  the  march.     His  military   maps  and  surveys  were  of 
great  assistance  to  Washington.     Honorably  discharged  the  service 
on  the  3d   of   November,  1783.     The  next  year  he  was  appointed 
Surveyor-General  of  the  State  of  New  York,  and  served  as  such  till 
his  decease.     He  surveyed  public  lands  in  that  state,  a  work  of  great 
labor  and  importance,  and  compiled  them  in    1804  in   his  valuable 
State  map.     It  is  claimed  that  he  did  not  avail  himself  of  his  knowl- 
edge of  these  lands  by  the  purchase  of  an  acre  when  they  were  sold. 
He  also  superintended  the  survey  of  the  Erie  Canal.     He  was  one  of 
the  Commissioners  to  settle  the  position   of  the   State  line  between 
New    York   and    Pennsylvania.     He  was  Regent  of  the   University 
from  1798,  Vice  Chancellor  from    1817,  and   Chancellor   from    1829. 
The  'Elements  of  Perspective,'  published  at  Albany  in  18 13,  was  one 
of  his  many  useful  and   ingenious  essays.     He  was   accepted  to  be 
what  Dr.  T.  Romeyn  Beck,  his  eulogist,  described  him,  'A  patriot,  a 
soldier  and  a  Christian'." 

C.  F,  Mulks  in  the  Ithaca  Journal  of  Dec.  26,  1896,  says  of  him  : 

"Gen.  Simeon  DeWitt,  the  proprietor  and  founder  of  the  village, 
now  the  city  of  Ithaca,  was  of  both  Dutch  and  Huguenot  ancestry. 
He  was  a  descendant  of  the  fourth  generation  of  a  Dutch  emigrant

from  Holland  who  settled  on  Manhattan  Island  during  the  adminis- 
tration of  Peter  Stuyvesant,  the  last  of  Dutch  governors  of  New  York. 
His  name  was  Tjerck  Claussen  DeWitt.  A  brother  and  sister  also 
emigrated  from  Holland  at  or  about  the  same  time,  the  brother  dying 
within  a  few  years  unmarried.  Emigrant  UeWitt  was  married  at 
New  Amsterdam  (now  New  York  City)  in  1656,  and  five  years  after 
had  left  there  and  settled  at  Kingston,  on  the  Hudson  river,  and 
from  him  have  descended  the  numerous  and  well-known  DeWitt 
family  of  Ulster  county.  As  a  family  clan  they  were  staunch  patriots 
in  the  American  Revolution  on  both  civil  and  military  lines.  Seven- 
teen of  them  signed  the  Association  pledge  in  the  town  of  Rochester, 
Ulster  county  alone  and  many  others  in  the  towns  of  the  county. 
This  was  a  pledge  to  support  the  measures  of  the  Continental  Con- 
gress and  of  the  provincial  legislature  of  New  York  m  opposition  to 
the  acts  of  the  British  ministry  until  a  reconciliation  could  be  effected 
between  the  colonies  and  the  British  parliament  on  constitutional 
principles.  It  antedated  the  Declaration  of  Independence  a  year. 
Similar  pledges  were  circulated  and  signed  in  all  the  towns  of  this 
state  and  of  the  thirteen  original  stales.  The  signers  were  called 
'associators'  and  five  of  the  seventeen  in  Rochester  were  Dr.  Andries 
DeWitt  and  his  four  sons,  one  being  Simeon,  then  about  nineteen 
years  of  age. 

"There  are  to  be  found  the  names  of  twenty  De Witts  on  the 
Revolutionary  army  rolls  of  this  state,  and  in  all  ranks  from  privates 
to  captain  and  major.  They  were  one  of  the  most  patriotic  families 
all  through  the  Revolution.  Two  of  Gen.  DeWitt's  uncles  were 
commissioned  officers  :  Jacob  Rutzen  DeWitt,  who  was  a  captain  of 
the  company  of  rangers  which  bore  his  name  and  formed  part  of 
Clinton's  brigade,  and  Thomas  DeWitt.  a  major  who  was  with  his 
regiment  in  the  fan)ous  Sullivan  expedition  as  the  town-destroyers  of 
the  Six  Nations  of  Indians  of  New  York  in  1779.  He  was  also  an 
officer  in  the  winter  expedition  and  campaign  to  Canada  to  attempt 
the  capture  of  the  fortress  of  Quebec,  a  campaign  of  great  fatigue, 
suffering  and  of  ultimate  disaster  and  failure. 

"The  father  of  General  DeWitt  was  Dr.  Andries  DeWitt,  who 
was  chairman  of  the  provincial  town  committee  of  Rochester  in  the 
Revolution,  and  was  for  fifty  years  a  practicing  physician  of  his 
native  county  of  Ulster,     He  died  at  New  York  in  1799  at  the  age 


Fifth   Generation.  767 

of  seventy-two.  His  mother  was  Jannetje  Vernooy,  which  is  the 
name  of  one  of  the  Huguenot  famihes  of  Ulster  county,  numbers  of 
whom  settled  through  the  central  and  southern  portion  of  that  county 
about  the  time  of  the  English  succession  in  New  York. 

"Simeon  was  the  sixth  in  a  family  of  fourteen  children,  but  large 
families  were  quite  fashionable  in  those  times.  He  was  born  in  1756. 
He  was  educated  at  Rutgers  College,  New  Jersey,  and  everything 
about  him  would  seem  to  indicate  an  early  taste  and  predeliction  for 
the  mathematical  and  exact  sciences.  His  aunt  was  the  wife  of 
General  James  Clinton  and  this  relationship  undoubtedly  gave  him 
in  younger  years  and  in  middle  life  the  influential  assistance  and  aid 
of  one  of  the  most  powerful  and  dominant  families  in  the  state  of 
New  York  for  half  a  century.  The  Clinton  family  numbered  in  its 
ranks,  two  generals,  two  governors,  a  vice-president  of  the  United 
States,  senators,  mayors,  etc.  He  was  a  private  in  the  army  which 
captured  Burgoyne  at  Saratoga,  the  most  important  battle  of  the 
Revolution,  and  which  Creasy  classes  as  one  of  the  15  decisive  battles 
of  the  world,  because  had  the  result  been  different  the  American 
cause  would  have  been  lost  irretrievably  and  the  history  of  this 
country  for  all  time  would  have  been  different  from  what  it  has  been, 
(ien.  DeWitt  was  in  the  Southern  campaign,  which  captured  (]orn- 
wallis,  as  an  officer  on  Washington's  staff.  He  was  thus  an  eye-wit- 
ness to  the  surrender  of  two  British  armies  in  the  War  of  the  Revo- 
lution, the  one  at  Saratoga  and  the  other  at  Yorktown,  Va. 

"He  was  first  appointed  Surveyor  General  in  May,  1784,  when 
he  was  in  his  28th  year,  by  the  council  of  appointment,  consisting  of 
the  governor  and  four  senators;  and  held  the  office  by  virtue  of  this 
appointment  till  February,  1823.  The  new  constitution  made  this 
and  other  high  offices  of  the  state  elective  by  the  legislature  and  in 
compliance  with  its  requirements  a  new  election  became  necessary. 
Party  politics  ran  very  high  at  the  time  between  the  Clintonian  and 
Bucktail  parties,  the  latter  being  the  adherents  of  Daniel  D.  Tomp- 
kins. Hammond  in  his  Political  History  of  New  York  thus  speaks 
of  this  election  : 

"'The  legislature  on  the  13th  of  February,  nearly  unanimously 
appointed  Jno.  V.  N.  Yates,  secretary  of  state,  Wm.  L.  Marcy,  comp- 
troller. Simeon  DeWitt,  surveyor  general  and  Alex  M.  Muir,  commis- 
sary general.  The  selection  of  these  gentlemen  had  been  before 
made  in  caucus.     At  no  period  before  or  since,  has  caucus  law  been 


768  History  of  the  Dey  Family. 

more  acquiesced  in,  and  more  promptly  enforced  than  the  present. 
Whatever  were  the  bickerings  and  heat  manifested  before,  or  at  the 
caucus,  after  that  potent  assembly  had  decided,  no  man  dared  scarce 
whisper  a  complaint,  no  'dog  moved  his  tongue'.  But  in  truth  the 
dominant  party  experienced  very  little  difficulty  in  agreeing  to  sup- 
port these  gentlemen.  There  was  no  controversy  except  in  relation 
to  the  offices  of  surveyor  general  and  comptroller. 

"  'Mr.  DeVVitt  venerated  for  his  learning  and  age,  and  beloved 
for  his  quiet  deportment  and  unostentatious  benevolence,  was  a  Clin- 
tonian.  Under  the  various  revolutions  of  parties  he  had  held  the 
office  of  surveyor  general  about  forty  years,  and  such  was  the  respect 
felt  for  his  character,  that  even  Judge  Skinner's  council  [of  appoint- 
ment] had  not  ventured  to  disturb  him.  On  this  occasion,  however, 
his  re-appointment  was  opposed  in  caucus  and  an  opposition  candi- 
date named.  But  a  very  considerable  majority  of  the  Democratic 
members  present,  much  to  their  credit,  refused  to  sanction  the  claims 
of  the  opposing  candidate.  Mr.  DeWitt  was  therefore  re-appointed 
but  his  salary  was  reduced.' 

"He  continued  to  hold  the  office  till  his  death,  a  period  of  fifty 
and  a  half  years.  The  duties  were  not  those  of  a  practical  surveyor 
in  the  field  but  were  executive,  directory  and  supervisory,  and  during 
the  early  years  of  his  incumbency  related  largely  to  the  two  military 
tracts,  one  in  the  central  and  the  other  in  the  northern  part  of  the 
state ;  and  to  the  sale  of  such  remnants  of  these  as  by  operation  of 
law  reverted  to  the  state  and  the  proceeds  became  a  part  of  the  com- 
mon school  fund. 

"On  the  first  of  November,  1789,  Abraham  Bloodgood,  then  a 
merchant  of  Albany,  filed  in  the  secretary  of  state's  office  a  certificate 
of  location  for  1,400  acres  of  land  lying  near  the  south  end  of  Cayuga 
Lake.  His  patent  for  it  was  issued  on  the  17th  of  the  same  month. 
This  land  includes  the  City  of  Ithaca  lying  west  of  Tioga  street. 
There  are  evidences  in  the  earliest  title  deeds  of  this  vicinity  that 
although  Bloodgood  was  the  legal  claimant  and  patentee  he  was  not 
the  original  locator  of  the  tract.  In  these  it  is  described  as  'Zeelie's 
location  of  1,400'  and  the  location  of  Martinus  Zeelie,  and  there  are 
references  to  trees  marked  'M.  Z.'  Three  years  after  the  issuance  of 
the  patent  (which  is  a  state  deed)  to  Bloodgood,  the  latter  on  Decem- 
ber I,  1792,  for  500  pounds  of  New  York  currency  sold  to  Simeon 
DeWitt  by  lease  and   release,  an   old  form  for  transferring  uses  in 


Fifth   Generation.  769 

possession,  the  whole  1,400  acre  tract  or  location.  The  land  in  the 
Bloodgood-DeWitt  transfer  is  described  as  'situated  in  the  county  of 
Tioga  near  the  south  end  of  Cayuga  Lake'  and  the  initial  point  of 
which  was  'at  an  elm  tree  marked  M  Z  standing  at  the  side  of  a 
brook  that  empties  in  the  said  lake,'  and  was  in  a  square  form  as  all 
locations  by  law  had  to  be.  The  date  of  the  Bloodgood  claim  and 
patent  was  about  five  years  after  his  son-in-law,  Mr.  DeWitt,  had  be- 
come surveyor  general  and  was  about  nine  months  after  the  title  of 
Cayuga  tribe  of  Indians  had  been  extinguished. 

"Mr.  DeVVitt,  at  a  later  date,  sold  off  from  the  south  end  of  the 
tract,  four  hundred  acres  to  his  brother-in-law,  Francis  A.  Bloodgood, 
being  that  part  lying  south  of  Clinton  street. 

"This  was  the  beginning  of  Mr.  DeWitt's  proprietory  interest  in 
this  valley.  At  a  somewhat  later  date  he  obtained  tax-titles  to  several 
small  parcels  of  land  lying  along  the  east  side  of  East  Hill  and  which 
now  form  a  portion  of  the  campus,  perhaps  nearly  or  quite  all  of  it. 
He  also  in  time  became  the  owner  of  the  Markle  and  Johnson  farms 
on  the  flat  and  with  these  he  was,  at  the  beginning  of  the  century, 
the  owner  of  this  valley  almost  from  hill  top  to  hill  top  east  and  west 
across  the  Hat. 

"As  the  founder  of  the  village,  now  city,  of  Ithaca,  probably  all 
has  been  written  already  that  would  be  of  interest  to  this  generation. 
His  home  was  at  Albany,  but  for  a  great  many  years  before  his  death 
he  made  annual  visits  here  prolonging  his  stay  for  months  at  a  time, 
but  returning  to  the  capitol  city  with  the  approach  of  winter.  The 
winter  of  1834  he  staid  and  occupied  apartments  at  the  Clinton 
House,  where  his  death  occurred  early  in  December  in  the  northeast 
corner  room  of  the  third  floor,  being  in  his  79th  year.  During  his 
stay  at  the  Clinton  about  the  last  weeks  of  his  life,  in  reply  to  a  ques- 
tion by  a  young  friend  as  to  why  he  selected  Ithaca  in  his  earlier  life, 
he  said  :  'The  place  looked  to  me  so  charming  that  I  could  not  select 
a  better  place  for  a  home  ;  the  view  from  the  hills  interested  me. 
The  gravel  site  was  a  spot  that  could  be  made  good  and  I  like  it.' 

"In  referring  to  the  death  of  Gen.  DeWitt,  Hammond  in  his 
history  of  New  York,  pays  the  following  splendid  tribute  to  his  noble 
and  useful  life  : 

"'In  December  (1834)  Simeon  DeWitt,  surveyor  general,  at  an 
advanced  age  departed  this  life.     He  had  held  the  office  of  surveyor

general  uninterruptedly  for  the  space  of  fifty  years.  His  merits  as  a 
citizen,  a  philanthropist,  a  friend  and  a  patron  of  the  arts  and  sci- 
ences and  as  an  able  and  faithful  officer,  I  need  not  mention.  They 
are  known  and  universally  acknowledged.  What  is  most  singular, 
and  what  indeed  is  the  highest  evidence  of  his  personal  worth  and 
official  merit,  is  that,  although  he  always  openly  and  frankly  avowed 
his  political  opinions,  and  although  he  frequently  belonged  to  the 
party  which  was  in  the  minority  no  party  during  the  lapse  of  half  a 
century  ventured  to  remove  him.' 

"Gen.  DeWitt  was  three  times  married.  His  first  wife  was 
Elizabeth  Lynnott,  a  step-daughter  of  Abraham  Bloodgood  of  Albany, 
and  half-sister  of  Judge  F.  A.  Bloodgood  of  Ithaca.  His  second  was 
a  widow  Hardenburg,  whose  maiden  name  had  been  Varick.  She 
was  very  likely  a  near  relative  of  Colonel  Richard  Varick,  an  early 
mayor  of  New  York  City,  as  Gen.  UeWitt  named  one  of  his  sons  after 
that  gentleman,  an  old  custom  with  Dutch  families.  His  third  and 
last  wife  was  a  sister  of  VVm.  Linn  so  well  known  in  Ithaca  a  genera- 
tion ago  and  whose  father  was  a  distinguished  clergyman  and  is  said 
to  have  been  a  chaplain  in  the  Revolutionary  army.  He  survived  her 
also  several  years. 

"Gen.  DeWitt's  will  was  made  during  his  last  stay  in  Ithaca  and 
about  three  months  before  his  death.  It  was  probably  written  by 
Judge  Amasa  Dana,  who  with  Dr.  Samuel  P.  Bishop  and  Dr.  Austin 
Church  were  the  attesting  witnesses.  His  friend.  Charles  Broadhead, 
of  Albany,  and  his  son,  Richard  Varick  DeWitt,  were  the  executors, 
the  latter  being  made  guardian  of  the  younger  children  during  their 
minority. 

"Among  the  mementoes  given  his  children  three  portraits  of 
himself  are  specifically  mentioned,  one  by  Ames  and  one  by  Inman 
and  a  miniature  portrait  by  Dickerson.  Also  a  Cincinnati  badge  of 
which  society  he  was  a  member  and  to  which  his  descendants  are 
eligible  to  membership  for  all  time.  Would  not  one  of  these  portraits 
of  the  founder  and  sponsor  of  this  city  be  of  historic  interest  to 
Ithaca?" 

He  died  Dec.  3,  1834,  at  Ithaca,  N.  Y.

by  his  second  wife  two  sons  and  several  daughters. '  He  studied  law 
with  his  father's  cousin,  Hon.  Richard  Varick,  Mayor  and  Recorder 
of  New  York  City.  He  was  the  owner,  at  one  time,  of  the  entire 
tract  of  land  known  as  East  Newark,  N.  J.  He  was  one  of  the  three 
founders  of  Jersey  City,  N.  J.  He  bought  March  26,  1804,  Paulus

Win  field's  History  of  Hudson  County,  N.  J.,  says  of  him  : 

"He  was  a  lineal  descendant  of  one  Derrick  Dey,  who  came 
to  New  York  City  from  Holland  in  1640,  and  established  a  mill  and 
ferry  at  the  foot  of  Dey  street  in  that  city.  At  the  age  of  sixteen 
years  Anthony  came  to  the  city  and  studied  law  in  the  office  of  his 
cousin,  Colonel  Richard  Varick,  to  whose  influence  and  connection 
he  probably  owed  his  early  success  in  the  practice  of  his  profession, 
for  he  became  a  very  successful  and  wealthy  lawyer.  He  was  also  a 
very  energetic,  industrious  and  persevering  man.  He  made  it  a  rule 
through  life  to  ignore  political  preferment,  and  never  held  any  office, 
but  was  nevertheless,  foremost  in  everything  that  could  be  called  a 
public  improvement,  especially  in  Bergen  County,  or  that  part  of  it 
now  called  Hudson  County.  He  was  the  owner  of  large  tracts  of

N.  Y.     Supervisor  of  the  Town  of  Ithaca,   1826.     President  of  the 
Village  of  Ithaca,  1825.     Director  in  the  Newburgh  Branch  Bank  at 
Ithaca. 

The  History  of  Four  Counties,  so-called,  says  of  him  : 

"His    early    education    was    chiefly    derived  from  the   common 


776  History  of  the  Dev  Family. 

schools,  and  was  supplemented  by  a  little  academic  training.  He 
had  a  decided  inclination  to  the  law,  and  as  a  preparation  for  that 
profession  entered  as  a  student  the  law  office  of  Foote  &  Rumsey  of 
Troy,  N.  Y.,  where  he  and  John  A.  Collier,  who  was  then  a  student 
in  the  same  office,  pursued  their  studies  together.  The  two  subse- 
quently, at  Binghamton,  N.  Y.,  formed  a  law  partnership,  which  was, 
however,  of  short  duration.  For  a  while  thereafter  Mr.  Johnson  re- 
sided in  Hector,  Schuyler  Co.  (then  Cayuga),  with  the  Richard  Smith 
who  became  first  judge  of  common  pleas  for  Tompkins  County,  upon 
its  erection  in  1817,  and  held  sessions  alternately  at  his  residence  in 
Hector  and  at  the  Columbian  Inn  at  Ithaca.  Mr.  Johnson  came  to 
Ithaca  some  years  before  his  marriage,  and  opened  a  law  office  on 
Aurora  Street,  where  he  pursued  his  profession  single-handed  until 
near  the  year  18 19,  when  he  became  associated  with  Charles  Hum- 
phrey, and  continued  that  connection  for  a  number  of  years.  He  was 
a  partner  of  Henry  S.  Walbridge,  and  later  of  Anthony  Schuyler. 
Mr.  Johnson  was  one  of  the  stanchest  members  of  the  Ithaca  bar. 
Erudite,  of  logical  mind,  and  possessed  of  rare  powers  in  debate,  his 
efforts  before  the  courts  where  he  practiced  always  challenged  atten- 
tion and  often  admiration.  Dry  humor  and  sarcasm  were  allies 
always  at  his  command,  and,  upon  occasion,  used.  An  indefatigable 
worker,  he  kept  scrupulously  within  the  bounds  of  his  vocation,  con- 
centrating his  mental  and  physical  strength  upon  the  cases  in  hand, 
from  which  the  temptations  of  office  could  not  lure  him.  His  intel- 
lect, cool  and  penetrating,  sped  its  shafts  straight  to  the  mark,  undi- 
verted by  the  false  and  immaterial.  His  nature  w-as  social,  genial, 
though  quiet  and  undemonstrative,  revealing  at  times  a  slight  eccen- 
tricity of  manner,  the  habit  of  a  mind  preoccupied  by  engrossing  sub- 
jects connected  with  his  practice." 

The  Ithaca  Daily  Journal  of  March  26th,  1900,  "contained  the 
following  reminiscence  of  him  from  the  pen  of  a  noted  local  historian  : 

"The  Tompkins  bar  of  1835  numbered  twenty-five  members, 
counsellors  and  attorneys-at-law.  That  of  1900  has  seventy-five, 
though  a  few  of  the  latter  are  not  now  in  active  practice  as  lawyers. 

"In  looking  through  the  list  of  sixty-five  years  ago  as  printed  in 
the  N.  Y.  Law  Register  of  1835  two  well  remembered  names  are 
both  prominent  and  conspicuous.    They  are  Ben  Johnson  and  Charles 


Sixth   Generation.  777 

Humphrey.  They  both  came  here  at  about  the  same  period  which 
was  the  decade  which  witnessed  the  beginning  and  close  of  the  War 
of  181 2-1 5.  It  was  at  this  period  that  Ithaca  first  began  to  be  a 
stirring  and  thriving  village  and  young  men  of  the  professions  and 
mechanic  and  mercantile  pursuits  would  be  attracted  to  it.  Ten  years 
before  or  about  1800,  it  had  been  a  hamlet  of  a  dozen  or  more  log 
houses  scattered  over  the  flats  and  along  the  sides  of  East  and  South 
hills,  a  sort  of  back  woods  settlement. 

"Ben  Johnson  came  from  New  Hampshire,  but  may  have  located 
brieHy  at  Troy,  N.  Y.,  before  coming  here  to  locate  permanently  and 
grow  up  with  the  place  in  the  practice  of  his  profession.  He  was 
here  as  early  as  18 18  and  had  an  office  on  north  Aurora  Street  about 
where  McGaugh's  liquor  store  now  is.  He  bought  of  General  DeWitt 
a  lot  on  Seneca  Street  and  built  a  home,  still  standing  and  but  little 
changed.  His  brother-in-law,  Ebenezer  Mack,  built  next  adjoining, 
they  had  married  sisters  by  the  name  of  Dey.  Mr.  Johnson  contin- 
ued in  active  practice  of  the  law  till  his  death  a  period  of  near  thirty 
years.  He  is  said  to  have  been  a  tall,  not  very  stout  man  with  a  slow 
reserved  manner.  He  was  unquestionably  as  reliable  a  man  in  the 
knowledge  and  understanding  of  law  as  any  one  of  his  time.  He 
had  a  slow,  yet  an  attractive  way  before  a  jury  that  especially  on 
matters  of  property  carried  his  cases  to  success.  He  was  an  active, 
useful  member  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  and  a  man  of  good  influ- 
ences in  what  pertained  to  the  community.  Ben  Johnson  from  ability, 
age  and  experience  concededly  stood  at  the  head  of  the  Tompkins 
County  bar  from  1830  to  his  death  in  the  latter  part  of  the  forties. 
He  certainly  enjoyed  a  great  reputation  as  a  lawyer  in  the  old  sixth 
circuit  bar  which  numbered  among  its  members  such  eminent  men  as 
Daniel  S.  Dickinson,  John  A.  Collier,  William  H.  Seward,  Joshua  A. 
Spencer. 

"C.   F.   MULKS." 

The  Ithaca  Daily  News  of  April  24,  1899,  contained  the  follow- 
ing about  him,  taken  from  the  Watkins  Democrat : 

"While  at  the  Ithaca  Academy,  for  two  years,  when  court  was  in 
session,  we  often  attended  doubtless  to  the  detriment  of  our  studies, 
to  hear  the  lawyers  wrangle.  Tompkins  County  was  then  thought  to 
have  the  largest  number  of  good  (and  some  eminent)  lawyers  of  any 


778  History  of  the  Dey  Family. 

county  in  the  State,  barring  the  great  cities.  Ben  Johnson,  Charles 
Humphrey,  Wm.  Linn,  Geo.  D.  Beers,  Stephen  B.  Cushing,  Judge 
Hubbell,  Samuel  Love,  Geo.  G.  Freer,  and  an  eccentric  old  gentle- 
man by  the  name  of  Stockholm,  were  the  most  prominent. 

"Johnson,  from  ability,  age  and  experience,  stood  at  the  head  of 
bar.  Beers,  then  a  young  man  of  great  promise,  was  often  employed 
against  Johnson.  Perhaps  no  man  living  or  dead  was  ever  endowed 
or  ever  will  be  with  such  unmitigated  assurance,  and  on  occasion 
with  such  collossal  impudence  as  George  D.  Beers.  He  would  fre- 
quently pitch  into  Johnson,  like  a  sky-terrier  into  a  mastiff — and 
sometimes  get  the  best  of  him.  When  he  addressed  the  jury  first  he 
would  steal  Johnson's  thunder  somewhat  as  follows  :  'Gentlemen,  you 
are  now  to  be  addressed  by  my  distinguished  opponent.  He  has, 
gentlemen,  somehow  obtained  a  great  reputation  and  chiefly  I  think, 
by  stating  his  propositions  with  such  assurance  and  gravity  that  the 
unsophisticated  are  quite  inclined  to  regard  them  law,  when  the  fact 
is,  in  many  instances,  there  is  no  warrant  for  his  statements  in  any 
law  books  ever  published.  I  will  not  say  that  he  means,  at  such 
times  to  deliberately  lie,  but  gentlemen,  he  does  it  to  keep  up  his 
reputation  and  increase  the  number  of  his  clients.  You  will  do  well, 
therefore,  to  accept  whatever  he  may  say  with  many  grains  of  allow- 
ance.'    He  would  then  take  his  hat  and  leave  the  Court  House. 

"With  something  like  this  and  doubtless  studied  variations,  he 
finally  roused  the  tiger  in  Johnson,  and  the  old  veteran  rose  as  Beers 
■  was  leaving  court  and  said  :  'Gentlemen,  there  he  goes  as  usual  like 
that  other  little  spotted  animal  which,  after  squirting  its  liquid  runs 
to  escape  its  effluvia.'  He  then  for  about  ten  minutes  everlastingly 
basted  and  roasted  Beers  and  gave  due  notice  that  he  would  skin  and 
dissect  him  to  the  best  of  his  ability  every  time  he  ejected  his  dye 
stuff  and  then  left  court.  Thereafter  Beers  faced  the  music  and 
treated  the  old  gentleman  with  more  consideration. 

"While  Beers  had  the  most  phenomenal  impudence,  Cushing 
had  the  most  extraordinary  volubility.  A  phonograph  operated  by 
steam  would  give  some  idea  of  his  marvelous  fluency  of  speech.  He 
would  say  more  in  thirty  minutes  than  the  average  law'yer  in  three 
years.  After  one  of  his  addresses  to  the  jury  Johnson  followed  and 
said  :  'Gentlemen,  my  little  friend  (Cushing  was  small)  seems  to  run 
to  words — and  he  has  it  bad,  and  it  seems  constantly  growing  worse. 


Sixth   Generation.  779 

You  are  fortunate,  gentlemen,  in  getting  to  the  end  of  his  discourse. 
Should  his  disease  continue  some  future  jury  will  be  doomed  to  hear 
a  whole  dictionary.  It  would  seem  there  ought  to  be  some  astringent 
specific  to  his  case.  But  then,  gentlemen,'  he  added  reflectively,  'I 
doubt  if  there  is  anything  in  nature  that  can  stop  him.'  We  shall 
never  forget  the  solemnity  with  which  he  closed  his  address  to  the 
jury  in  the  case  of  Graham,  whom  he  convicted  of  murder :  'Gentle- 
men, you  have  now  a  solemn,  but  an  imperative  duty  to  perform. 
Courts  and  juries  are  the  guardians  of  life,  liberty  and  property  of 
every  citizen.  The  prisoner  at  the  bar  has  been  shown  to  be  the 
greatest  criminal  and  has  thus  incurred  the  severest  penalty  known 
to  our  laws.  Without  any  provocation  he  has  slain  his  fellow  man. 
He  is  thus  a  rotten  branch,  a  dangerous,  wild  beast  ready  to  rend 
any  member  of  society  and  it  is  your  duty,  not  to  be  regarded  as 
painful,  but  with  alacrity  and  without  regret  to  cut  him  off.'  " 

At  the  time  of  her  death  the  Ithaca  Journal  said : 

"The  funeral  of  Mrs.  Ben  Johnson  took  place  this  afternoon 
from  the  residence  of  her  daughter,  Mrs.  J.  B.  Sprague.  Jane  Dey 
was  born  August  29,  1798,  eighty-three  years  and  one  month  before 
the  day  of  her  d^th.  Sixty-four  years  ago  she  came  to  Ithaca  as  the 
bride  of  Ben  Johnson.  For  the  past  thirty-three  years  she  has  lived 
here  as  his  widow.  She  bore  her  husband  eleven  children,  of  whom 
two  died  in  infancy,  and  one,  Eleanor,  wife  of  Anthony  Schuyler,  died 
in  1849,  leaving  four  children,  of  whom  the  two  survivors,  with  their 
father,  attended  their  grandmother's  funeral.  The  other  eight — Mrs. 
Orson  Bostwick,  Mrs.  Charles  P.  Dibble,  Jesse  Johnson,  Mrs.  Charles 
Swan,  Mrs.  Joseph  B.  Sprague,  Charles  Dey  Johnson,  William  G. 
Johnson  and  Mrs.  Charles  M.  Titus — were  all  among  the  mourners 
of  their  mother  today.  Eight  grandchildren,  and  three  great-grand- 
children, the  children  of  Hermon  V.  and  Emily  Dibble  Bostwick,  also 
followed  the  remains,  and  there  are  two  other  great-grandchildren, 
one  the  son  of  Montgomery  and  Katherine  Livingston  Schuyler,  of 
New  York,  and  one  the  son  of  Charles  A.  and  Julia  Barry  Dibble,  of 
St.  Paul.  The  husband  of  Mrs.  Johnson's  eldest  daughter  walked  at 
the  head  of  her  coffin,  and  the  husband  of  her  youngest  daughter  at 
its  foot,  and  it  was  borne  to  burial  by  her  three  sons  and  three  of  her 
grandsons. 


ySo  History  of  the  Dey  Family. 

"This  chronicle  would  of  itself  give  a  significance  in  a  manner 
historical  to  the  closing  of  the  life  to  which  the  lives  of  thirty-four 
living  descendants,  of  three  generations,  are  traced  back.  But  to 
those  who  knew  Mrs.  Johnson,  the  extrinsic  significance  of  her  life 
and  of  her  death  is  trivial  compared  to  the  impression  which  abides 
with  them  of  the  intrinsic  power  and  beauty  of  her  character.  Ful- 
filling always  and  to  the  utmost  through  the  long  years  of  her  activity 
every  duty,  religious,  social  and  domestic,  which  was  imposed  upon 
her,  her  mourning  friends  will  look  back  with  even  more  tender  feel- 
ings to  the  years  which  were  allotted  to  her  after  the  activities  of  her 
life  were  over.  In  these  years,  the  calm  afternoon  of  her  long  day,  a 
respite  seemed  to  have  been  granted  her  that  she  might  serve  to 
those  who  had  grown  up  about  her  as  a  precious  and  beautiful  exam- 
ple of  patience  and  of  repose.  'Beaming  in  mildest  mellow  splendor  ; 
beaming,  if  also  trembling,  like  a  sun  upon  the  verge  of  the  horizon, 
near  now  to  its  long  farewell,'  she  stayed  and  shone  during  these 
latter  years,  and  'the  light  of  her  countenance'  was  to  those  about  her 
neither  an  unmeaning  nor  an  extravagant  expression.  Of  a  noble 
beauty  in  her  youth  and  in  the  years  of  her  maturity,  her  beauty  re- 
mained in  her  extreme  age.  The  rare  union  of  sweetness  and  dignity 
made  hers  a  most  winning  as  well  as  a  most  impressive  presence.  To

received  the  degree  A.M.  Member  of  the  Phi  Beta  Kappa  college

At  the  time  of  his  death  the  Albany  Journal  said  of  him  : 

"Richard  Varick  DeWitt,  known  to  all  men  who  have  been  long 
resident  of  this  city,  Albany,  N.  Y.,  and  loved  and  respected  by  all 
to  whom  he  was  known,  died  this  morning  after  a  long  illness.  From 
his  very  boyhood  he  was  marked  for  the  purity,  uprightness,  amia- 
bility and  we  may  say  the  religiousness  of  his  character.  Descended 
from  those  who  were  distinguished  for  intelligence  and  virtues,  his 
outset  in  life  was  attended  by  every  circumstance  that  promised 
worldly  success  and  happiness,  and  although  he  subsequently  encoun- 
tered troubles  and  reverses  that  greatly  changed  the  aspect  of  his 
life,  they  never  impaired  the  fine  qualities  of  his  nature.  Inheriting 
his  father's  scientific  taste  he  always  took  a  warm  interest  in  all  scien- 
tific institutions  and  in  all  mechanical  improvements  and  enterprises 
of  his  time  and  gave  to  them  in  his  active  years  much  of  his  time  and 
fortune.  He  was  of  the  founders  of  the  Albany  Lyceum  and  after- 
wards of  the  Albany  Institute.  Through  all  his  many  years  of  failing 
health  and  suffering,  he  ever  preserved  the   original   sweetness  and 


Sixth    Generation.      .  785 

serenity  of  his  disposition  and  elevated  as  it  was  by  the  reUgions  and 
convictions  which  had  been  the  rule  and  comfort  of  his  life.  He  has 
gone  from  us  leaving  to  us  all  a  good  and  enduring  remembrance." 

The  Albany  Argus  said  : 

"Richard  Varick  DeWitt.  This  venerable  citizen  died  last  Fri- 
day morning  at  his  residence  in  Albany,  after  a  lingering  illness.  Mr. 
DeVVitt  lived  a  long  and  useful  life,  and  died  respected  and  beloved 
by  all  who  knew  him.  He  was  a  gentleman  of  great  purity  of  life, 
and  of  scientific  tastes  and  attainments.  To  promote  these  pursuits, 
he  became  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Albany  Lyceum,  and  afterwards 
of  the  Institute,  in  which  he  retained  a  deep  interest  to  the  day  of  his 
death.  He  was  also  identified  with  various  religious  enterprises,  and 
for  more  than  a  quarter  of  a  century  was  a  faithful  member  of  the 
Middle  Dutch  Church.  Inheriting  a  large  fortune  from  his  father, 
Simeon  DeWitt,  for  many  years  surveyor-general  of  the  State,  he 
dispensed  it  liberally  in  the  promotion  of  works  of  improvement,  in 
railroads  and  steamboats,  and  in  testing  mechanical  inventions  that 
promised  to  be  useful  to  mankind.  Mr.  DeVVitt  was  sixty-eight  years 
of  age." 

Another  Albany  newspaper  said  . 

"On  the  7th  inst.,  Richard  Varick  DeWitt  departed  to  a  better 
world.  He  was  born  at  the  beginning  of  the  present  century,  in  this 
city,  which  then  and  for  some  time  subsequently,  was  truly  the  Capi- 
tal of  this  State  and  the  centre  of  its  culture,  fashion  and  politics — a 
position  of  which  Albany,  in  common  with  many  other  towns  in  this 
country,  has  been  in  a  measure  deprived  by  the  overshadowing  growth 
and  progress  of  New  York.  He  was  descended  from  a  family,  which 
numbers  in  its  ranks  of  soldiers  and  civiUans,  John  DeWitt,  Grand 
Pensionary  of  Holland,  a  statesman  who  raised  his  country  to  a  pitch 
of  greatness.  The  association  of  his  father,  Simeon  DeWitt,  and  his 
uncle,  Richard  \'arick,  both  distinguished  officers  of  the  Revolution, 
brought  him  in  contact  early  in  life  with  many  of  the  eminent  men 
who  then  fiourished,  and  afforded  him  frequent  opportunities  of  per- 
sonally noting  their  virtues  and  characteristic  qualities.  His  anec- 
dotes and  recollections  of  Governor  Morris,  the  elder  Livingstons, 
DeWitt  Clinton.  Kent.  Spencer,  General  Armstrong,  and  many  well 
known  citizens,  North  and  South,  were  very  interesting.     He  gradu-

ated  at  Union  College  and  after  the  usual  preparatory  study  in  the 
oiBce  of  the  late  Harmanus  Bleecker,  afterward  U.  S.  Minister  at  the 
Hague,  was  called  to  the  bar.  The  possessor  of  a  large  estate  of 
which  a  considerable  portion  of  the  village  of  Ithaca  formed  a  part, 
and  a  favorite  in  and  fond  of  society,  his  inclinations  led  him  to  liter- 
ary and  artistic  pursuits  as  well  as  the  cultivation  of  exact  sciences. 
The  designs  and  plans  of  buildings  he  has  left  behind  him,  show  a 
careful  study  of  good  models,  a  correct  eye  for  proportions  and  a 
familiarity  with  the  principles  of  architecture,  while  his  sketches  and 
paintings  in  water  color  and  oil  are  spirited  and  true  to  nature.  He 
was  a  patron  of  the  old  Albany  Library  and  one  of  the  founders  of 
the  Albany  Institute.  He  established  and  maintained  a  line  of  steam- 
boats on  the  Cayuga  Lake,  which  were  in  their  day  considered  to  be 
models  of  speed,  comfort  and  safety.  Through  his  exertions,  and 
chiefly  with  his  means,  the  Ithaca  &  Owego  Railroad  was  con- 
structed (one  of  the  earliest  lines  in  this  State),  and  when  the  finan- 
cial disasters  of  1837  occurred,  he  lost  his  property  by  the  forced 
sale  of  this  road  for  a  trifling  part  of  its  cost.  Not  long  afterward  he 
suffered  the  loss  of  his  beloved  wife  (a  daughter  of  the  late  Dudley 
Walsh),  a  lady  of  great  worth  and  very  attractive  in  person,  mind  and 
manner.  He  was  Vice-President,  and  during  the  absence  of  Governor 
Fish  in  Europe  acting  President  of  the  State  Cincinnati  Society. 
Many  New  Yorkers  will  remember  with  pleasure  the  dinner  of  the 
Society  at  the  Everett  House,  at  which  he  presided,  and  when  the 
late  Senator  Crittenden  of  Kentucky,  spoke  so  eloquently.  He,  in 
connection  with  the  late  Mr.  W.  C.  Miller,  established  the  first  of  the 
Sunday  schools  in  Albany,  and  through  life  and  in  every  way  exhib- 
ited a  deep  interest  in  their  success.  He  was  for  many  years  an  elder 
in  the  Middle  Dutch  Church,  and  was  ever  active  in  good  works  and 
zealous  in  the  promotion  of  religion  and  virtue.  There  are  many 
persons  now  living  who  can  never  forget  his  frequent  acts  of  kindness. 
No  changes  of  life  or  adverse  depressing  influences  ever  destroyed 
that  natural  buoyancy,  geniality  and  vivacious  bon  ho?n??ic  which  he 
possessed  in  a  marked  degree.  These  qualities  ever  attracted  to  him 
the  young,  who  enjoyed  his  society  and  profited  by  his  example  and 
advice,  while  his  extensive  reading,  long  observation  of  men  and 
manners,  his  delicate  humor  and  great  refinement,  threw  a  charm 
over  his  converse  with  people  of  all  ages.  In  short,  it  may  truly  be 
said  that  in  his  unobtrusive  kindness,  his  humble  estimate  of  himself. 


Sixth   Generation.  787 

his  reliance  for  support  on  a  higher  power ;  in  his  unselfish  regard 
for  the  welfare  of  all,  his  charity,  his  acts  of  forgiveness ;  in  his  con- 
sistent life  and  peaceful  death  he  displayed  in  a  marked  degree,  the 
attributes  of  a  Christian  gentleman.  In  the  immediate  circle  of  his 
family  and  relatives  his  loss  has  created  an  aching  void  which  can 
never  be  filled,  while  his  friends  will  ever  cherish  with  mournful 
pleasure  the  remembrance  of  his  many  virtues." 

Another  Albany  newspaper  said  : 

"In  the  death  of  Richard  Varick  DeWitt  Albany  loses  a  citizen 
of  the  highest  tone  of  character,  a  gentleman  whose  Christian  life  the 
church  recognized  and  the  world  acknowledged.  The  son  of  the 
Surveyor-General  DeWitt ;  to  whose  worth  of  public  service  General 
Washington  bore  testimony  ;  all  his  life  knowing  only  the  associations 
of  a  gentleman  ;  of  extraordinary  zeal  in  science  ;  with  the  intelli- 
gence and  large  thought  of  one  who  looked  throughout  all  his  days 
to  see  the  good  that  there  was  in  life,  less  for  him  to  enjoy  than  to 
communicate  to  others;  meeting  the  night  and  day  of  Providential 
allotment  with  gentle  thought  of  content,  he  was  everywhere  a  cher- 
ished and  respected  man.  His  name  would  have  been  among  the 
first  to  come  to  the  utterance  when  these  citizens  were  called  upon  to 
present  a  thorough  gentleman  and  a  consistent  Christian. 

"These  are  not  words  lightly  used  ;  but,  rarely  as  they  may  ever 
be  used  truthfully,  in  that  case  they  are  just  record.  We  go  to  his 
grave  with  that  grief  the  shadow  of  which  is  for  the  living.  He  was 
faithful  to  his  high  principle,  and  honored  his  name  and  his  city. 

"The  Reformed  Dutch  Church  in  Beaver  Street,  of  which  he  was 
for  a  lifetime  a  living,  earnest  member,  has  in  its  record  many  a  name, 
imperfectly  written,  it  may  be,  in  those  creations  of  dust  which  we 
call  rank  and  riches,  but  brilliant  in  that  record  which  is  on  high.  It 
has  a  hallowed  role  of  sainted  men  and  women,  and  in  these  has  a 
treasure  beyond  all  defiance  of  earthly  loss.  Amidst  these  names 
this  faithful  Christian  gentleman  has  welcome.  Some  of  those  who 
best  knew  him  loved  him  best.  In  that  company  of  good  men  to 
which  that  church  holds  inestimable  title,  his  memory  will  remain, 
and  the  succession  of  usefulness  his  life  begun  the  recollections  of 
him  shall  make  endearing,  and  the  more  from  the  fact  that  he  never, 
with  the  higher  life,  forgot  the  comities  and  courtesies  of  hereditary 
culture   and  a  gentleman's  life.

"He  was  of  the  foremost  and  boldest  in  the  advocacy  of  meas- 
ures of  internal  improvement,  in  this  imitating  the  great  statesman 
who  was  his  friend,  and,  I  believe,  his  relative.  His  courage,  in 
advance  of  the  time  of  its  prosperity,  connected  the  lakes  of  New 
York  with  the  Susquehanna  River  by  the  iron  rail.  He  took  from 
the  inert  assignees  of  Robert  Fulton  an  unexpired  steamboat  right, 
and  initiated  a  career  of  navigation  long  since  grown  into  large  use- 
fulness. He  had  unconquerable  love  for  science.  'At  her  feet  he 
bowed.'  He  studied  and  labored  and  planned  and  invented  over 
obstacles  that  made  gigantic  his  cares,  but  he  saw  before  him  only 
the  certain  future  success — a  success  beyond  his  grasp,  but  he  knew 
the  truths  of  his  study,  and  if  not  for  him,  for  others  their  good  would 
come.  The  care  is  over,  the  vicissitude  is  past.  His  life  of  unsullied 
right  was  a  great  success,  as  Heaven  interprets  that  word. 

"Sentinel." 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Albany  Institute,  held  on  Saturday,  Feb.  8. 
the  following  resolutions  were  adopted  : 

"Resolved,  That  the  members  of  the  Albany  Institute,  recognizing 
the  late  Richard  Varick  DeWitt  as  one  of  its  first  officers,  and  a  most 
active  member  during  its  whole  existence,  desire  to  testify,  upon  the 
occasion  of  his  death,  their  appreciation  of  his  high  intelligence,  his 
scientific  attainments,  his  earnest  efforts  in  the  cause  of  education, 
his  moral  worth,  and  all  the  genial  and  kindly  virtues  that  mark  the 
character  of  a  Christian  philosopher. 

"Resolved,  That,  as  a  slight  expression  of  our  regard  for  his 
memory  and  regret  for  his  loss,  the  record  of  his  decease  be  placed 
upon  the  minutes  of  the  Institute,  and  that  we  extend  our  heartfelt 
sympathy  to  his  family  in  their  bereavement. 

"Resolved,  That  we  attend  the  funeral  of  the  deceased  in  a 
body  ;  and  that  a  copy  of  these  resolutions  be  presented  to  the  family. 

"James  Weir  Mason,  Secretary." 

The  Consistory  and  Trustees  of  the  Second  Reformed  Church 
in  the  City  of  Albany,  in  joint  meeting  assembled,  unanimously 
adopted  the  following  minute  : 

"With  saddened  and  chastened  hearts  the  Consistory  and  Trus- 
tees of  the  Second  Reformed  Church,  chronicle  their  profound  sorrow 
and  sense  of  loss  in  the  record  of  Richard  Varick  De Witt's  departure 
from  earth.

"For  nearly  fifty  years  a  member  of  this  church,  he  maintained 
a  spotless  Christian  reputation,  and  beautifully  exemplified  the  graces 
of  an  humble  and  earnest  follower  of  Jesus.  During  a  considerable 
part  of  this  lengthened  period  called  to  fill  all  church  offices  to  which 
he  could  be  chosen,  he  brought  to  the  discharge  of  their  duties,  with 
fullest  consecration,  a  richly  endowed  and  stored  mind,  a  loving  heart, 
an  energetic  spirit,  an  ever  helpful  hand,  so  that  the  formative  influ- 
ence of  his  pure  life  and  the  power  of  his  judicious  activities  can  be 
gratefully  traced  through  nearly  the  entire  history  of  our  church. 

"While  we  mourn  him  as  the  loyal  and  consistent  member,  the 
Sabbath  school  teacher  and  superintendent,  whose  gentleness  won 
those  whom  his  wisdom  instructed,  the  trustee  sagacious  and  liberal, 
the  deacon  sympathizing  and  generous,  the  elder  who  ruled  well,  the 
friend  ever  genial  and  true — we  praise  the  God  of  all  grace  for  the 
rich  legacy  of  his  undying  character  and  example. 

"Our  grief  deepens  our  sympathy  for  his  sorely  bereaved  family, 
for  whom,  with  assurance  of  sincerest  interest  and  aff'ection,  we  suppli- 
cate that  divine  support  and  consolation,  through  the  abundant  enjoy- 
ment of  which  their  honored  and  beloved  father  lived  so  admirably 
and  then  so  peacefully  fell  on  sleep. 

"Joachim  Elmendorf,  President. 

"A.  \'.  DkVVitt,  Secretary." 

He  died  Feb.  7,  1868.     Residence,  Albany,  N.  Y. 

Children  : 

70401.  Richard  Varick.  Born  in  1S32  in  Albany,  N.  Y.  Educated  at 
the  .Albany  Academy.  He  was  admitted  to  the  Society  of  the 
Cincinnati  July  4,  186S.  He  was  prominently  engaged  in  the 
insurance  business  in  the  City  of  Albany  and  was  Secretary  of 
the  Albany  Insurance  Company,  1890-6,  when  he  engaged  in 
business  for  himself.  Director  in  the  Albany  Exchange  Sav- 
ings Bank.  Trustee  of  the  Albany  Medical  College.  At  the 
time  of  his  death  the  Albany  Argus  said  :  "Former  Fire  Commis- 
sioner Richard  Yarick  DeWitt  died  at  his  home  on  Lancaster 
Street  last  eveJiing  after  a  brief  illness.  His  death  will  come  as 
a  shock  to  his  hosts  of  friends  in  this  city.  He  was  widely 
known  and  highly  respected.  Mr.  DeWitt  was  born  in  Albany 
in  1S32  and  was  the  son  of  Richard  V.  and  Sarah  Walsh  DeWitt. 
Simeon  DeWitt.  grandfather  of  the  deceased,  was  a  prominent 
officer  in  the  Continental  Army.  In  1778  Congress  appointed 
him  chief  of  the  topographers  of  the  Continental  Army  and 
geographer-general,  which  positions  he  retained  until  the  close

of  the  Revolutionary  War.  He  served  as  surveyor-general  of 
New  York  State  from  1784  to  1834.  He  declined  the  appoint- 
ment of  surveyor-general  of  the  United  States,  which  was  ten- 
dered him  by  Congress  in  1784.  Richard  V.  DeWitt  was  edu- 
cated at  the  Albany  Academy  and  in  1849  entered  the  employ 
of  the  Albany  Insurance  Company  as  clerk.  In  1854  he  was 
appointed  to  a  clerkship  in  the  New  York  State  Bank,  which 
position  he  held  until  1868,  when  he  again  engaged  in  the 
insurance  business.  From  1872  to  1S90  Mr.  DeWitt  was  secre- 
tary of  the  Commerce  Insurance  Company  and  was  secretary  of 
the  Albany  Insurance  Company  from  1890  to  1896,  when  he 
resigned  to  engage  in  business  for  himself.  He  was  a  member 
of  the  board  of  fire  commissioners,  being  appointed  September 
8,  1887,  to  succeed  John  McEwan.  He  was  secretary  of  the 
board  for  several  years  and  was  succeeded  by  James  McCredie. 
Mr.  DeWitt  served  in  the  fire  board  with  distinction  until  it  was 
legislated  out  of  office  in  1900.  He  was  also  actively  identified 
with  the  board  of  underwriters  and  for  many  years  served  as 
chairman  of  the  Protectives'  Committee.  Mr.  DeWitt  was  a 
trustee  of  the  Madison  Avenue  Reformed  Church  for  thirteen 
years.  He  was  at  one  time  a  director  of  the  Albany  Exchange 
Savings  Bank.  He  was  a  trustee  of  the  Albany  Medical  Col- 
lege, a  member  of  the  standing  committee  of  the  Society  of  the 
Cincinnati  of  the  State  of  New  York,  and  president  of  the 
Albany  branch  of  the  local  Fire  Insurance  Agents'  Association 
of  New  York  State.  Mr.  DeWitt  was  closely  identified  with 
athletic  sports  in  .\lbany  and  was  for  many  years  an  active 
oarsman  and  greatly  interested  in  baseball.  He  was  a  clever 
writer  and  articles  from  his  pen  were  often  seen  in  the  public 
prints.  He  wrote  for  the  New  York  Times  and  frequently  for 
the  local  press."  The  Ithaca  Daily  News  said  :  "The  New 
York  branch  of  the  Order  of  the  Cincinnati  has  issued  the  fol- 
lowing order  or  announcement  :  Office  of  the  Secretary.  New 
York,  Aug.  24th,  1 90 1.  General  Order.  With  regret  announce- 
ment is  made  of  the  death,  at  Albany,  N.  Y.,  on  Wednesday, 
August  2ist,  i9or,  of  Richard  Varick  DeWitt,  a  member  of  the 
New  York  State  Society  of  the  Cincinnati.  Nicholas  Fish, 
President.  By  order  :  F.  K.  Pendleton,  Secretary.  Richard 
Varick  DeWitt,  whose  death  is  here  announced,  was  the  grand- 
son of  Simeon  DeWitt  the  founder  of  Ithaca.  He  was  the  son 
of  Richard  Varick  DeWitt,  senior,  who  passed  awaj'  at  Albany 
about  1866-7.  They  were  both  for  man\'  years  engaged  in  the 
insurance  business  which  has  been  continued  by  the  son  of  the 
same  name  to  the  present  time.  The  name  of  Richard  Varick 
comes  from  Col.  Richard  Varick  a  distinguished  officer  of  the 
Revolution  and  afterwards  prominent  in  civil  life,  having  been 
mayor  of  New  York  City  and  attorney-general  of  the  State.   He

was  a  brother-in-law  of  General  Simeon  DeWitt  of  Ithaca. 
Richard  Varick  DeWitt,  senior,  though  never  a  resident  of 
Ithaca,  used  often  to  visit  here  on  pleasure  and  business  being 
one  of  the  executors  of  the  estate  of  his  father,  Simeon  DeWitt. 
He  was  well  known  by  the  citizens  here  and  is  still  well  remem- 
bered by  a  few  of  the  older  people  yet  living."  The  Ithaca 
Democrat  said  :  "The  death  is  announced  of  Richard  Varick 
DeWitt  of  Albany,  a  grandson  of  Simeon  DeWitt  and  an  hon- 
ored and  distinguished  member  of  the  New  York  Society  of 
Cincinnati.  This  gentleman,  whose  father's  name  was  the 
same  as  his  own,  had  long  been  identified  with  the  insurance 
business  of  Albany,  and  I  believe  was  a  vice-president  or  promi- 
nent officer  of  one  of  the  insurance  companies  incorporated  and 
doing  business  in  that  city.  His  death  recalls  a  name  and 
family,  historic  to  Ithacans,  and  eminent  in  the  annals  of  the 
State.  I  refer  to  Simeon  DeWitt,  who  died  in  one  of  the  upper 
rooms  of  the  Clinton  House,  in  this  city,  near  the  closing  week 
of  1834,  aged  78.  General  DeWitt  had  three  sons,  only  one  of 
whom  married  and  left  issue,  and  the  person  who  has  just 
passed  awa}-,  was  his  only  lineal  grandson.  The  latter  leaves 
one  or  more  sons,  so  the  family  in  the  male  line  does  not  be- 
come extinct.  The  father  of  the  deceased,  Richard  Varick 
DeWitt,  senior,  was  born  at  Albany  at  the  beginning  of  the 
last  century.  He  lived  there  and  died  there  F~ebruary  7,  1868, 
aged  68  years.  He  is  said  to  have  been  like  his  father  a  gentle- 
man of  varied  literary  accomplishments  and  a  member  of  the 
Albany  Institute,  of  which  institution  both  himself,  and  his 
father,  the  surveyor-general  of  the  State,  had  been  among  the 
founders.  The  De Witts,  father  and  sons,  and  Francis  A.  Blood- 
good,  who  was  closely  related  to  them,  were  the  original  pro- 
moters and  main  financial  support  of  the  old  Ithaca  and  Owego 
railroad,  the  second  railroad  incorporated  in  the  State,  and  the 
first  in  that  part  of  it,  west  of  the  Mohawk  Valley.  It  was  a 
bold,  brilliant  enterprise  for  that  day,  but  was  not  financially 
successful,  and  left  the  estates  of  the  promoters  heavily  em- 
barrassed. The  association  of  the  elder  Richard  Varick  DeWitt 
with  his  father  and  his  uncle.  Colonel  Richard  Varick, both  dis- 
tinguished officers  of  the  Revolution,  and  eminent  in  civil  life, 
brought  him  in  contact  with  many  of  the  eminent  men  who 
then  flourished,  and  gave  him  the  opportunity  of  cultivating 
their  friendship.  Among  his  friends  were  such  eminent  men  as 
Gouverneur  Morris,  the  Livingstons,  DeWitt  Clinton,  Chan- 
cellor Kent,  the  Spencers,  General  Armstrong  and  many  others.

70403.  Alice.  Married  Augustus  dePeyster.  She  died  between  1866 
and  1870,  at  Brookline,  Mass.  At  the  time  of  her  death  an 
Albany  newspaper  said  :  "The  death  of  Mrs.  Alice  de  Peyster 
brings  tribulation  and  anguish  to  so  many,  both  at  home  and 
abroad,  that  her  immediate  family  constitute  but  a  small  part 
of  the  sorrowful  array  who  mourn  her  loss  and  will  cherish  her 
memory.  Bereaved  of  her  mother  in  infancy,  she  became  an 
object  of  the  tender  care  and  culture  of  one  of  the  meekest  of 
Christians  and  most  accomplished  of  men,  lier  father,  the  late 
Richard  Varick  DeWitt.  Under  his  wise  and  loving  super- 
vision, her  moral  and  intellectual  character  was  formed  ;  and  it 
was  just  what  might  have  been  expected  from  the  tutelage  of 
so  much  goodness  and  wisdom.  Her  suave  manners  and  gentle 
nature  made  her  the  idol  of  her  companions  during  childhood 
and  youth,  and  won  the  love  and  regard  of  the  mature  and 
observant,  who  found  ground  for  hopes  of  future  excellence 
and  usefulne.ss  in  her  rece])tive  mind,  active  intellect  and  con- 
scientious industry  ;  which  hopes,  however  high,  were  more 
than  justified  in  her  womanhood.  The  fine  moral  qualities  and 
mental  capabilities  she  was  endowed  with  bv  nature  were  care- 
fully nourished  and  strengthened,  and  they  early  expanded  to 
a  depth  and  breadth  that  afforded  support  to  every  grace  and 
virtue  that  piety,  intelligence  and  refinement  could  implant 
there.  Enjoying  keenly  the  high  and  refined  pleasures  which 
such  endowments  and  acquisitions  can  hardly  fail  to  give  to 
those  who  possess  them  ;  to  her,  nevertheless,  those  rich  gifts 
seemed  rather  a  trust  fund  for  the  benefit  of  others,  and  in  her 
unselfishness  accounted  herself  a  beneficiary.  Hence,  no  op- 
portunity to  do  good  or  give  pleasure  to  others  was  suffered  to 
pass  unimproved,  and  her  labors  in  the  church  and  the  Sabbath 
school  earned  for  her  the  respect  of  age  and  the  love  of  child- 
hood. From  this  field  and  such  pursuits,  and  from  a  society 
that  loved  her,  four  short  years  ago,  she  was  taken,  amid  bless- 
ings and  tears,  to  enter  upon  a  new  career  of  life  on  another 
theatre  ;  leaving  memories  behind  her  that  will  now  be  hoarded 
more  closely  than  ever.  She  became  the  wife  of  one  worthv  to 
be  her  husband,  and  in  this  relation  she  was,  what  she  had 
been  in  every  other,  a  theme  of  praise  and  a  model  for  imitation. 
In  her  new  sphere,  as  in  the  one  she  had  left,  she  compassed 
the  affection  and  respect  of  all  who  came  to  have  knowledge  of 
her,  and  tears  are  now  flowing  as  freely  in  Brookline  as  in 
Albany  over  a  dispensation  so  mysterious,  that  Faith  itself  may 
be  pardoned  for  wondering  whether  Heaven  can  need  so  much 
as  Earth  does  such  women  as  Alice  DeWitt  de  Peyster.

ble.) He  was  born  Aug.  28,  18 15,  at  Skaneateles,  N.  Y.  He  married, 
Sept.  14,  1842,  Hetty  Johnson.  70174.  Business  man.  Merchant. 
Vice-President  of  the   First   National   Bank  of  Marshall,   Mich. 

At  the  time  of  his  death  a  Marshall  newspaper  said  : 

"The  sad  intelligence  of  the  death  of  Hon.  Charles  P.  Dibble 
was  conveyed  here  Wednesday  morning  by  means  of  a  telegram  re- 
ceived by  his  son  from  Aiken,  S.  C.  With  his  wife  he  left  here  four 
weeks  ago  to  visit  his  son  Henry  at  that  pl^ce,  and  letters  received 
from  time  to  time  stated  that  his  health  was  rapidly  improving  under 
the  influence  of  the  warm  southern  climate.  He  was  stricken  with 
paralysis,  however,  last  week  and  lingered  until  Tuesday,  with  no 
hope  of  recovery.  It  was  the  second  stroke,  the  first  having  been 
sustained  about  seven  years  ago. 

"He  was  born  in  Skaneateles,  Onondaga  Co.,  N.  Y.,  August  28, 
18 1 5,  where  he  resided  until  fourteen  years  of  age,  with  his  parents, 
Philo  and  Susan  Dibble,  who  were  respectively  natives  of  Massachu- 
setts and  New  York.  He  received  his  education  at  the  district  and 
select  schools  and  also  at  Homer  Academy.  At  the  age  of  fourteen 
the  nestling  resolved  to  try  his  own  pinions,  and  accordhigly  leaving 
his  home  he  entered  a  store,  where  he  remained  as  clerk  three  years. 
Here  he  showed  such  a  natural  tact  and  aptitude  for  mercantile  life 
that  we  ne.xt  find  him  a  partner  in  the   firm   of  his  father,  and  then 


796  History  of  the  Dey  Family. 

sole  proprietor  of  a  similar  business  at  Kelloggsville.  After  remain- 
ing at  the  latter  place  twelve  months  he  closed  out  his  stock  of  goods 
and  in  the  fall  of  1835,  at  the  age  of  twenty,  he  came  to  the  boundless 
west  to  battle  for  fortune. 

"He  was  attracted  to  Marshall  by  the  reports  of  her  growth,  and 
after  purchasing  considerable  property,  he  went  as  far  west  as  Chi- 
cago on  a  prospecting  tour.  He  returned  with  the  belief  that  Marshall 
was  as  favorable  a  location  as  the  west  afforded,  and  in  the  spring  of 
1836  he  brought  in  a  stock  of  goods  and  began  trading.  This  was 
steadily  followed  with  success  until  1877,  when  he  retired  therefrom 
on  account  of  ill  health,  surrendering  the  business  to  his  son,  Charles 
A.  Dibble.  It  was  a  busy  mercantile  life,  beginning  in  1832  and 
spanning  a  lapse  of  forty-five  years,  and  it  must  needs  have  been 
checkered  by  privations  incident  to  the  life  of  a  pioneer,  by  vexations 
and  attendant  losses,  though  in  the  main  pleasant  and  prosperous. 

"He  was  married,  September  14,  1842,  to  Miss  Ilettie  Johnson, 
of  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  where  she  was  born.  She,  with  five  children,  sur- 
vive him — William  and  Evelyn,  of  this  city;  Mrs.  Emily  Bostwick,  of 
Ithaca,  N.  Y.;  Charles  A.,  of  St.  Paul,  Minn.,  and  Henry  M.  Dibble, 
of  Aiken,  S.  C.  Theirs  was  a  happy  wedded  life  with  onlv  three 
shadows  to  mar  its  brightness — the  death  of  their  children,  Benjamin. 
Louise  and  Walter. 

"It  is  safe  to  say  that  no  man  in  the  county  ever  enjoyed  the 
confidence  of  the  people  to  a  greater  extent  than  Hon.  C.  P.  Dibble. 
He  has  been  treasurer  of  almost  every  association  ever  formed  in  the 
city  and  county,  and  for  twenty  years  serv'ed  the  agricultural  society 
of  Calhoun  County  in  that  position  or  that  of  president  continuously. 
He  was  treasurer  of  the  Marshall  and  Bellevue  plank  road  company 
and  also  of  the  Coldwater,  Marshall  &  Mackinac  railroad.  In  his 
political  affiliations  he  was  a  Republican,  having  formerly  been  a 
Whig  partisan.     He  was  elected  the  first  mayor  of  the  city  in   1859. 

"As  a  citizen  he  was  wedded  to  the  interests  of  Marshall,  and  in 
everything  pertaining  to  the  advancement  and  prosperity  of  the  city 
he  took  a  lively  interest.  No  enterprise  was  started  here  that  did 
not  find  in  him  a  ready  sympathizer.  He  was  one  of  the  stockholders 
in  the  hoe  factory,  and  was  one  of  the  original  stockholders  in  the 
First  National  Bank,  of  which  he  has  for  years  been  vice-president. 
As  chairman  of  the  building  committee  of   the   board   of  trustees  he 


Seventh   Generation.  797 

superintended  the  erection  of  our  fine  high  school  building  and  per- 
formed such  signal  service  in  this  capacity  that  he  was  presented 
with  a  purse  of  ^500,  as  a  slight  testimonial  of  the  esteem  in  which 
his  untiring  labor  was  held.  Refusing  to  accept  the  money  as  a  gift 
to  himself,  he  placed  it  at  interest,  and  yearly  the  income — $50 — is 
divided  among  the  various  departments  as  prizes.  He  was  one  of 
the  most  prominent  members  of  Trinity  Church  and  was  junior  warden 
of  the  church  a  great  many  years. 

"The  deceased  was  a  man  of  marked  traits  of  character,  firm 
and  unyielding  in  defence  of  right  and  justice,  yet  sympathetic  and 
merciful  to  the  unfortunate.  His  greatness  consisted  in  the  combina- 
tion of  fiualities  and  excellent  characteristics  which  go  to  make  up  a 
good  man.  'He  was  a  man,  take  him  for  all  in  all,  we  shall  not  look 
uDon  his  like  again.'     Marshall  mourns  his  death." 

He  died  .April  22,  1884,  at  Aiken.  S.  C.  She  died  Feb.  16, 
1891.  at  Aiken.      Residence,  Marshall,  Mich.

JOSEPH      R.    SPRAGUE 


Seventh   Generation.  799 

At  the  time  of  his  death  the  Denver  Tribune  said : 

"Hon.  Joseph  B.  Sprague,  of  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  died  at  Charpiot's 
Hotel  in  this  city,  yesterday  forenoon  at  11:30.  This  event,  so  very 
une.xpected,  is  the  occasion  of  many  expressions  of  sincere  regret 
here,  and  will  be  the  cause  of  genuine  sorrow  among  a  very  large 
circle  of  friends  in  the  East. 

"Colonel  Sprague,  as  the  deceased  was  familiarly  designated,  has 
frequently  visited  Colorado  during  the  last  three  or  four  years,  having 
mining  property  at  Wagon  Wheel  Gap,  and  when  in  the  state  has 
made  this  city  his  home.  In  company  with  his  wife,  now  at  the 
family  residence  in  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  where  the  news  of  Mr.  Sprague's 
death  will  reach  her,  he  made  an  extended  trip  through  the  mountain 
districts  during  the  summer,  visiting  all  the  principal  places  of  interest 
and  resort  and  making  a  large  collection  of  rare  and  curious  speci- 
mens from  the  mineral  and  animal  resources  of  the  state.  Colonel 
Sprague  had  a  decided  penchant  for  making  collections,  and  his 
recent  purchase  of  the  elk-horn  chair  at  Taylor's  Museum  will  be 
fresh  in  the  minds  of  Tribune  readers.  From  his  early  years  he 
was  a  great  traveler,  and  those  who  knew  him  best  have  often 
listened  with  pleasure  to  his  accounts  of  his  adventures  by  sea  and 
land — there  scarcely  being  a  country,  no  matter  how  far  or  strange, 
that  he  had  not  visited.  Mr.  Sprague  was  fifty-three  years  of  age, 
and  a  native  of  Rochester,  N.  Y.,  and  a  son  of  Asa  Sprague,  pro- 
prietor of  the  old  stage  line  from  that  point  to  Buffalo,  and  after- 
wards for  many  years  a  banker  and  prominent  citizen  of  Rochester, 
where  the  Colonel  was  very  widely  known  and  highly  esteemed. 
In  connection  with  Hon.  Hiram  Sibley,  of  Rochester,  he  was  inter- 
ested in  mining  property  in  Montana,  and  among  his  more  intimate 
friends  in  Denver  were  Mr.  George  Wilder  and  Charles  F.  Burrell, 
formerly  of  that  city. 

"Mr.  Sprague's  home  for  the  past  eight  or  ten  years  has  been  at 
Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  he  having  been  Mayor  of  that  city  last  year,  and  the 
present  year  receiving  the  nomination  for  Congress  from  the  Demo- 
crats of  his  district.  As  he  was  at  the  time  in  this  state,  and  engaged 
with  business  matters  here,  the  proffered  honor  was  declined.  Mr. 
Sprague  arrived  in  Denver  from  the  East  early  in  September,  and 
after  a  short  stay  in  the  city  visited  his  property  in  Wagon  Wheel 
Gap.     After    his    return   to   Denver  he   seemed   to   enjoy  his  usual 


8oo  History  of  the  Dev  Family. 

health  until  within  a  very  few  days  of  his  death.  On  Monday  he 
suddenly  became  very  ill,  and  on  being  assisted  to  his  room  at  Char- 
piot's,  soon  sank  into  a  comatose  condition,  in  which,  in  spite  of  the 
most  skillful  and  devoted  medical  attendance  and  nursing  that  could 
be  procured,  he  continued  until  death  resulted,  the  direct  cause  being 
cerebral  apoplexy. .  Mr.  Sprague  was  a  very  large  and  fleshy  man, 
and  had  long  feared  the  disease  which  finally  terminated  his  life.  He 
was  as  large  in  heart  as  in  body,  and  in  every  respect  a  thorough 
gentleman. 

"In  his  death  the  mining  interests  of  Colorado  lose  a  staunch 
friend,  Denver  an  ardent  admirer  (the  Colonel  had  frequently  said  he 
knew  of  no  place  of  its  size  anywhere  that  could  compare  with  this 
city),  the  bereaved  wife  a  kind  and  devoted  husband,  and  a  host  of 
acquaintances  one  whom  they  universally  esteemed  for  his  manly, 
generous  qualities. 

"The  friends  were  duly  notified  of  the  death  of  Mr.  Sprague,  and 
the  remains  were  taken  in  charge  bv  an  undertaker,  by  whom  they 
were  embalmed,  preparatory  to  shipment  East  today." 

The  Ithaca  Daily  Journal  said  : 

"The  telegrams  in  the  Journal  last  Saturday  evening  heralding 
the  fatal  illness  and  finally  the  death  of  Col.  Sprague  may  be  said, 
without  exaggeration,  to  have  shocked  the  people  of  our  village,  as  no 
like  event  has  done  since  the  death  of  Ezra  Cornell. 

"Citizens  with  the  paper  in  hand  assembled  upon  the  street 
corners,  in  hotels  and  stores  to  exchange  expressions  of  regret  and 
sorrow  at  the  tidings.  At  the  tea  table  and  evening  gatherings  it 
was  the  engrossing  topic.  The  universal  sentiment  was  that  Ithaca 
had  not  only  lost  a  public  spirited  citizen,  a  man  with  a  willing  heart 
and  open  purse,  but  that  the  poor  would  feel  in  the  coming  winter 
the  painful  absence  of  one  who  while  living  had  never  forgotten  or 
disregarded  their  claims  ;  a  man  of  great  travel  and  varied  experience, 
of  the  kindest  impulses  and  ever  looking  to  the  improvement  of  the 
village.  In  most  cases  there  would  be  some  exceptional  voices  in 
the  general  chorus,  but  we  have  yet  to  hear  of  one  in  this  case  or  of 
a  person  who  has  heard  of  one.  There  is  no  better  phrase  to  express 
the  standing  of  the  deceased  in  this  and  the  many  other  communities 
in  which  he  was  well  known  than  that  of  intense  -popularity'.  While 
thoroughly  independent  in  announcing  his  hard,  common  sense  ideas^ 


Seventh    Generation.  8oi 

he  never  offended  by  so  doing.  A  small,  or  penurious  action  was 
totally  foreign  to  his  nature.  He  was  integrity  itself  in  private  deal 
or  in  places  of  public  trust.  Although  not  a  man  of  unusual  mental 
ability,  marked  originality  or  brilliancy  in  either  thought  or  speech, 
yet  he  unmistakably  possessed  the  magic  power  of  quickly  winning 
and  forever  holding  the  good  will  of  every  one  with  whom  he  came 
in  contact— from  the  millionaire  who  faced  him  at  a  club  dinner — to 
the  boy  who  blacked  his  boots  upon  the  streets.  To  the  majority  of 
men  this  would  seem  a  more  valuable  gift  than  that  of  genius.  Very 
democratic,  never  apparently  seeing  any  reason  why  the  man  of 
money  and  inHuential  position  was  entitled  to  greater  consideration 
or  kinder  words  than  those  occupying  the  most  dependent  and  menial 
of  stations. 

"Since  his  coming  to  Ithaca  no  event  involving  charity  or  public 
spirit  has  been  without  his  name  and  purse  near  the  top.  It  is  im- 
possible to  clearly  define  the  deceased's  earlier  days  without  a  some- 
what extended  reference  to  his  father;  but  this  will  not  only  be 
pardoned  by  all  but  enjoyed  by  most  of  our  elderly  readers. 

"Asa  Sprague  was  born  at  Schenectady,  N.  Y.,  where  his  only 
son.  Joseph  B.,  also  first  saw  light.  Subsequently,  the  family  removed 
t(j  Rochester,  but  this  was  after  the  former  had  acquired  a  name  as 
potential  as  that  of  Dean  Richmond  on  the  old  stage  and  even  rail- 
roads from  Albany  to  Buffalo.  Born  poor,  with  limited  advantages, 
Asa  Sprague  in  his  early  life  was  in  charge  of  the  toll  gate  over  the 
once  famous  Cayuga  bridge.  This  was  in  the  jolly  but  tiresome  old 
times  of  universal  stage  coaching.  John  Butterfield,  since  the  many 
millionaire,  was  then  the  hard  worked  driver  of  one  of  the  stages 
which  was  regularly  driven  through  the  toll  gate  of  which  Sprague 
was  in  charge.  Acquaintance  ripened  into  intimacy  ;  soon  a  partner- 
ship was  formed  and  eventually  they  became  the  largest  interested  in 
the  stage  lines  between  Albany  and  Buffalo.  Then  came  the  advent 
of  railroads  and  the  decline  of  the  more  primitive  method  of  travel. 
Mr.  Sprague  was  largely  interested  in  and  superintendent  of  the  old 
Rochester  and  Syracuse  or  Auburn  railroad.  This  was  before  the 
adoption  of  the  Bismarckian  policy  of  consolidation  and  antedated 
the  N.  Y.  C.  &  H.  R.  R.  R. 

"By  his  sagacity  and  business  ability  he  amassed  a  fortune  of 
Si. 200,000. CO  and  died  at  his  home  in  Rochester. 


8o2  History  of  the  Dey  Family. 

"John  Butterfield  allied  himself  with  the  Welles  and  Fargos  and 
became  one  of  the  express  magnates,  the  possessor  of  a  fortune 
counted  by  millions,  and  the  father  of  Gen.  Dan.  E.  Butterfield.  The 
deceased,  Joseph  Brittin  Sprague,  well  known  as  'Colonel'  (a  title 
won  only  by  his  stature,  military  bearing,  and  overflowing  genial 
spirits)  was  born  as  above  stated  at  Schenectady,  N.  Y.,  Sept.  19, 
1826.  Upon  the  same  day  his  father  purchased  a  one-half  interest 
in  the  marble  block,  corner  Broadway  and  State  streets,  in  Albany, 
known  as  the  old  Museum.  To  this  coincidence  is  attributed  the 
Colonel's  persistent  refusal  to  listen  to  any  proposal  for  his  disposition 
of  the  same,  during  his  lifetime.  On  the  contrary,  he  purchased  the 
other  interest  and  when  the  structure  was  destroyed  by  fire  some  four 
years  since,  he  rebuilt  it  grander  than  before. 

"As  a  sailor  in  early  manhood,  he  had  been  to  China,  Japan,  the 
Russian  Possessions,  the  Sandwich  Islands  and  many  other  foreign 
lands.  Returning  home,  he  embarked  .first  in  business  at  Ovid,  N.  Y., 
near  the  site  of  the  present  Asylum.  Here,  with  a  partner  he  con- 
ducted a  large  general  store  and  bought  and  shipped  immense  quan- 
tities of  produce  from  the  shores  of  Seneca  Lake  to  the  eastern 
markets.  It  was  while  residing  at  Ovid  that  he  came  to  Ithaca,  and 
in  the  house  at  present  occupied  by  Frank  C.  Cornell,  that  he  was 
married  to  Louise,  fifth  daughter  of  the  late  Ben  Johnson. 

"We  next  learn  of  him  as  largely  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of 
safes,  scales,  etc.,  and  also  interested  in  a  large  hardware  establish- 
ment connected  therewith.  This  was  in  Rochester  and  the  business 
was  done  under  the  firm  name  of  Sprague,  Stevens  &  Co.  After  live 
or  six  years  he  withdrew  from  this  enterprise  and  retired  to  a  farm  of 
five  hundred  acres  in  Urbana,  Ohio.  This  farm,  together  with  the 
Albany  Museum  property,  formed  a  portion  of  his  father's  estate.  By 
his  father's  will  he  and  L.  S.  Ashley,  of  New  York  City,  (the  husband 
of  an  only  sister  of  the  deceased,  who  survives  him)  were  constituted 
executors.  The  deceased  declined  to  assume  the  responsibility  of 
acting  as  such  and  prevailed  upon  a  Mr.  Atkinson,  of  Rochester,  an 
old  friend  of  the  family  and  a  lawyer  by  profession,  to  act  in  his 
stead.  Mr.  Ashley,  of  New  York,  is  also  a  lawyer  but  is  not  in  active 
practice,  possibly  because  of  sufficient  income  without.  Hence  the 
rumors  put  forth  regarding  a  limitation  upon  the  Colonel's  share  in 
the  estate,  simply  to  that  of  a  periodical  income  were  entirely  without

foundation.  It  is  well  worthy  of  note  that  this  statement  was  only 
heard — and  then  only  in  whispers — during  political  campaigns. 

"The  farm  at  Urbana  being  too  quiet  a  seclusion  for  a  man  of 
the  deceased's  social  tendencies,  he  exchanged  the  same  with  C.  M. 
Titus  for  Ithaca  real  estate,  a  part  of  which  being  the  present  Sprague 
residence.  Mr.  Titus  in  turn  disposed  of  the  farm  to  J.  S.  Wood  of 
Ithaca,  who  removed  thither  and  occupies  it  at  this  writing. 

"In  1869,  the  deceased  and  wife  passed  the  year  mostly  in 
Europe,  returning  to  this  country  they  made  a  trip  to  Europe  in  1870, 
accompanied  by  a  then  prominent  resident  of  Rochester,  George  R. 
Clark  and  his  daughter.  The  Colonel  returned  to  New  York  the 
third  time,  leaving  the  party  in  Algeria.  Upon  receiving  notification 
of  Mr.  Clark's  death  he  again  crossed  the  water  to  bring  back  the 
ladies  and  the  remains  of  his  friend.  It  was  while  absent  upon  this 
mission  that  his  barns  and  valuable  horses  in  Ithaca  were  burned. 

"His  late  home  is  stored  with  mementos  and  curiosities  gathered 
in  his  travels,  and  nothing  gave  him  more  delight  than  to  patiently 
explain  over  and  again  the  facts  of  their  acquirement  and  the  interest 
with  which  they  were  imbued. 

"As  a  host  he  had  no  equal  here. 

"Coming  to  Ithaca  for  a  permanent  home  in  1871  he  was  soon 
thereafter  chosen  Trustee  (or  Alderman)  of  the  First  Ward,  subse- 
quently President  of  the  Village,  (equivalent  to  Mayor  of  a  city). 
Last  year  as  the  Democratic  candidate  for  State  Senator  he  contested 
this  district  with  Mr.  Hopkins,  and  while  the  odds  and  majorities  of 
previous  campaigns  demonstrated  the  futility  of  the  effort  at  the  out- 
set, yet,  the  immense  complimentary  vote  extended  him  by  this  county 
attested  the  high  regard  of  the  people  who  knew  him. 

"While  absent  in  Colorado  this  fall  attending  his  silver  mining 
interests  he  was  notified  by  wire  that  he  had  been  unanimously  nomi- 
nated by  the  Democratic  Convention  for  Congress.  This  had  been 
done  without  his  knowledge.  He  responded  declining  the  honor, 
however,  as  he  found  it  impossible  to  manage  a  political  campaign 
and  his  business  so  far  separated,  at  one  and  the  same  time,  and  the 
latter  imperatively  demanded  his  presence.  His  position  and  un- 
swerving policy  in  such  local  issues  as  the  street  paving,  cow  law, 
park  fences,  hose  purchases  and  like  matters  are  of  too  recent  occur- 
rence and  too  well  known  to  need   repetition  here.     Sutfice  it  that

time  proved  him  correct  in  almost  all  if  not  every  public  stand  taken  by 
him.  As  time  went  on  our  people  grew  in  recognition  of  his  unselfish 
attempts  to  make  a  modern  village  of  Ithaca  and  he  grew  accordingly 
in  the  esteem  and  affection  of  its  residents. 

"Although  politically  opposed,  we  have  yet  to  hear  the  first 
whisper  affecting  the  personal  integrity  and  ofticial  rectitude  of  Col. 
Sprague.  And  great  is  the  pleasure  with  which  we  volunteer  our 
expression  of  the  kindly  and  honorable  traits  of  him  who  has  gone 
out  from  among  us  forever. 

"The  instances  of  his  unostentatious  aids  would  necessitate  a 
record  of  e\ery  event  of  any  public  character  which  has  occurred 
here  since  first  he  came  to  Ithaca.  His  furnishing  No.  6  engine 
company's  parlors  ;  handing  them  5500  toward  purchasing  their  en- 
gine ;  entertaining  this  and  its  visiting  company  in  princely  style  at 
the  Clinton  House,  during  the  Firemen's  Convention,  are  but  sam- 
ples of  his  royal  methods  of  dispensing  aid.  His  private  charities — 
their  extent  and  number — will  never  be  known.  Those  who  knew 
him  best  say  confidently  that  no  instance  exists  of  a  deserving  person 
applying  to  him  and  being  turned  away  unaideil.  In  fact,  his  great 
heart  and  generous  soul  made  him  doubtless  the  subject  of  many 
gross  impositions.  But  these  never  soured  his  sunny  way  or  preju- 
diced the  cause  of  the  next  claimant.  Much  of  the  regard  cherished 
for  him  and  his  memory  here,  is  directly  traceable  to  his  open 
handedness  and  careful  consideration  for  the  poor  and  distressed. 
Many  men  among  us  are  the  equals  in  financial  resources  of  Colonel 
Sprague,  but  we  think  none  will  contest  this  attribute  with  him  before 
the  judgment  seat  without  being  speedily  non-suited.  For  years  he 
had  been  a  member  of  the  Rochester  Social  Club,  composed  of  the 
bankers,  merchants  and  wealthier  citizens.  His  invariably  good 
humored  face,  towering  form,  and  quiet  tone  were  familiar  and  wel- 
come in  New  York,  Albany,  Syracuse,  Rochester  and  the  other 
leading  cities  of  the  State. 

"A  mistaken  rumor  has  prevailed  on  our  streets  that  he  was 
indisposed  and  went  to  Colorado  last  summer  for  his  health.  This 
erroneous  statement  we  find  even  in  some  of  our  exchanges.  We  are 
informed  by  his  physician  and  relatives  that  his  health  had  not  been 
better  for  years  than  at  the  time  of  his  departure,  and  that  his  mis- 
sion  was   purely   of   a   business  nature.      It  cannot  at  this  time  be

ascertained  whether  or  not  he  left  a  will ;  or  how  great  or  profitable 
were  his  Colorado  mining  investments.  We  learn  that  the  village 
authorities,  merchants  and  leading  citizens  intend  organizing,  that  a 
programme  may  be  arranged  for  fittingly  evincing  the  respect  of 
Ithaca  for  the  kind  man  and  good  citizen  who  has  passed  away.  If 
such  action  has  not  been  taken,  no  delay  should  occur  in  so  doing. 
Ithaca  has  too  few  such  men  to  fail  in  evidencing  at  the  last  sad  rites 
her  sincere  sorrow  at  the  loss.  If  such  is  the  feeling  in  the  commun- 
ity, what  shall  measure  the  grief  at  the  fireside  to  which  the  terrible 
news  of  the  afiliction  came — without  warning?"

Landmarks  of  Tompkins  County,  N.  \'..  says  of  him  : 

"As  a  resident  of  Ithaca  for  over  forty  years,  as  a  public  spirited 
citizen,  enjoying  the  confidence  of  his  fellows,  as  a  recipient  of  politi- 
cal honors  time  and  time  again  the  highest  in  the  town,  as  a  member 
of  the  State  Legislature  twice  re-elected,  and  as  a  gentleman  univer- 
sally recognized  as  enterprising  and  honorable  in  all  his  transactions, 
the  incidents  of  his  life  are  very  properly  a  part  of  the  history  of 
Tompkins  County,  and  space  awarded  him  is  so  appropriate  as  to  need 
no  apology  for  its  allowance. 

"The  life  history  of  Mr.  Titus  is  the  history  of  thousands  denied 
early   pecuniary   or  even   educational   advantages  beyond   the  most

ordinary,  but  who  by  force  of  character,  energy  of  purpose  and  adher- 
ence to  business  rules,  step  to  the  front  and  occupy  positions  of  great 
prominence  before  the  public. 

"The  father  of  Mr.  Titus  removed  from  Trenton,  N.  J.,  at  an 
early  day.  and  died  before  reaching  middle  age.  The  mother  of  the 
subject  of  this  sketch  was  a  Miss  Sarah  Ann  Gilbert,  of  Jacksonville, 
whose  father  was  a  pioneer  in  this  county,  serving  as  a  soldier  in  the 
\N'ar  of  1S12. 

•As  the  father  of  Mr.  Titus  died  when  he  was  a  mere  child, 
stern  necessity  soon  taught  the  boy  he  must  depend  on  his  own  ex- 
ertions for  success  and  advancement.  He  began  his  active  life, 
meeting  and  overcoming  difficulties  which  would  have  appalled  and 
entirely  dismayed  almost  any  one  of  less  self-reliance  and  less  deter- 
mination to  win  a  place  among  the  workers  of  the  world. 

••He  was  born  at  Jacksonville,  in  this  county,  on  the  29th  of 
December.  1832,  and  his  education  was  limited  to  the  district  school, 
.md  circumstances  allowed  him  but  a  very  brief  period  of  time  for 
even  that.  When  a  mere  boy  he  entered  a  drug  store  at  Trumans- 
burg.  remaining  there  for  a  time,  and  establishing  a  character  and 
reputation  for  efficiency  and  trustworthiness.  Ambitious  of  a  larger 
held,  he  came  to  Ithaca  and  entered  the  employ  of  Mr.  H.  F.  Hib- 
bard,  then  a  prominent  general  merchant.  He  soon  won  the  confi- 
dence of  his  employer,  and  his  services  were  highly  appreciated. 

"Steady  application  to  duties  and  confinement  indoors  told  upon 
his  health,  and  he  became  convinced  that  outdoor  employment  must 
be  secured.  A  traveling  salesman,  exhibiting  an  extensive  line  of 
American  made  sewing  silks  of  all  the  various  shades,  attracted  the 
attention  of  .Mr.  Titus,  and  he  thought  he  saw  therein  the  opportunity 
he  had  sought  of  establishing  an  outdoor  business,  becoming  a  sales- 
man to  the  trade  of  products  of  eastern  silk  manufacture  in  this  and 
other  slates. 

"For  many  years  in  the  early  fifties  Mr.  Titus  put  forth  his  ef- 
forts as  a  wholesale  dealer  of  fancy  goods  with  reasonable  success. 
Not  content  to  buy  silks  of  eastern  producers,  he  with  others  formed 
the  firm  of  C.  M.  Titus  iV  Co.,  erected  a  building,  introduced  the  best 
machinery  then  known,  and  entered  upon  the  manufacture  of  silk 
threads  of  the  higher  grades  and  superior  quality.  The  business  was 
carried   on   in   a   building,  afterwards  burned,  upon  the  site  of  the

present  H.  \'.  Bostwick  wood  working  industry.  The  products  of  the 
firm  were  readily  absorbed  by  the  trade  in  New  York  City,  and  this 
led  to  the  expansion  of  the  business,  and  a  general  jobbing  house  was 
opened  there  and  continued  until  fire  destroyed  the  stock  and  broke 
up  the  enterprise.  Because  of  the  threatening  aspect  of  public 
affairs,  Mr.  Titus  then  engaged  with  Bowen,  Holmes  i\:  Co.,  a  leading 
dry  goods  house  in  New  York  City. 

"At  this  time,  the  fall  of  i860,  thoughtful  men  saw  in  the  trend 
of  afifairs  a  great  struggle  must  soon  take  place  upon  sectional  lines, 
and,  moved  by  patriotic  motives,  Mr.  Titus  severed  his  New  York 
connection  and  started  for  Springfield,  111.,  intending  to  otTer  his  ser- 
vices to  Mr.  Lincoln,  whom  he  was  confident  must  be  elected,  ready 
to  be  assigned  to  any  position  in  which  he  might  be  useful  in  the 
approaching  crisis.  Knroute  to  the  West  he  reached  Northern  Penn- 
sylvania when  the  wonderful  oil  production  just  commenced,  and  he 
saw  great  opportunity  for  his  active  temperament  therein. 

"He  was  insensibly  drawn  into  the  excitement  of  oil  speculation, 
and  became  an  extensive  producer  and  operator.  Selecting  Oil  City 
as  his  office  point,  he  soon  identified  himself  with  the  early  history  of 
that  place.  He  was  one  of  the  promoters  of  the  Oil  City  bridge, 
spanning  the  river  there.  He  was  also  one  of  the  organizers  and  a 
director  in  the  First  National  Bank.  He  was  selected  at  a  public 
meeting  of  oil  producers  to  represent  their  interests  at  Washington 
relative  to  the  war  tax  upon  petroleum,  which  mission  was  success- 
fully performed. 

"When  but  tw-enty-three  years  of  age  he  purchased  his  present 
residence.  The  grounds  attached  were  then  vacant,  but  they  now 
contain  six  fine  dwellings.  He  has  held  Ithaca  as  his  home  all  the 
years  since  as  a  boy  he  came  from  Trumansburg.  Concluding  to 
give  up  his  business  in  Pennsylvania,  and  feeling  that  he  must  have 
active  employment  to  hold  him  at  his  home,  he  purchased  the  manu- 
facturing plant  for  many  years  conducted  by  J.  Foster  Hixson.  As- 
sociated with  William  L.  Bostwick,  the  firm  of  Titus  «Ii:  Bostwick  was 
organized,  manufacturers  of  machinery  and  agricultural  implements. 
This  firm  introduced  the  well  known  and  useful  implement,  'The 
Ithaca  Steel  Toothed  Horse  Rake'.  .  The  business  was  very  success- 
ful, and  afterwards  Mr.  Titus  disposed  of  his  interest  therein  to  Mr. 
George  R.  Williams,  in  order  that  he   might  devote   his  energies  to

the  improvement  of  what  was  known  as  the  Bloodgood  Tract,  con- 
sisting of  some  400  acres  of  marsh  and  hillsides  on  the  south  bounds 
of  the  village,  which  he  ditched,  drained  and  otherwise  greatly  im- 
proved. About  one-half  of  this  tract  was  sold  to  the  late  John 
McCiraw.  Within  the  part  retained  by  Mr.  Titus  was  laid  out  that 
beautiful  roadway  known  as  'Titus  Avenue,'  which  he  located,  built 
and  bordered  with  trees  now  grown  to  great  size.  The  expense  of 
this  entire  work  was  borne  by  the  enterprising  projector. 

"In  this  vicinity  and  part  of  the  purchase  are  some  of  our  finest 
streets  and  avenues,  as  well  as  many  of  the  most  costly  and  desirable 
residences  in  the  city.  The  present  Fair  Ground  lies  within  its  borders. 
Since  1871  he  has  carried  on  a  very  large  farm,  supplying  much  of 
the  milk  consumed  in  Ithaca;  and  also  farmed  500  acres  of  lands, 
the  most  prfKiuctive  in  the  county.  Through  portions  of  these  lands 
streets  are  .s(X)n  to  be  laid  out  and  fine  dwellings  erected  thereon. 
He  built  the  'Titus  Block'  on  West  State  Street  in  1876,  as  well  as 
many  residences  and  business  buildings,  before  and  since. 

"The  father  of  Mr.  Titus  possessed  a  mechanical  and  inventive 
temperanient  and  was  the  inventor  and  patentee  of  the  device  and 
manner  of  making  lead  pipe  in  continuous  lengths.  The  son,  inher- 
iting the  inventive  and  mechanical  temperament  of  the  parent  has 
produced  and  patented  some  valuable  devices.  For  several  years  he 
has  been  engaged  as  a  promoter,  with  others,  in  bringing  forward  and 
perfecting  what  is  now  known  as  the  'Peerless  Type  Writer'.  This 
machine-  is  fully  believed  in  by  Mr.  Titus,  as  destined  to  take  the 
lead  of  all  machines  now  in  use.  The  manufacturing  of  it  upon  an 
extended  scale  has  just  begun  in  this  city,  and  Mr.  Titus  is  to  receive 
a  royalty  upon  each  one  produced. 

"When  the  railroad  from  Ithaca  to  Geneva  was  projected  Mr. 
Kzra  Cornell  was  deeply  interested  in  the  success  of  the  enterprise, 
and  recognizing  Mr.  Titus's  abilities,  insisted  he  should  assume  the 
responsible  position  of  its  president.  Mr.  Titus  believing  the  interest 
of  the  road  could  be  better  secured,  substituted  the  name  of  Mr. 
Thomas  Hillhouse,  of  Geneva,  that  gentleman  was  made  president, 
but  soon  afterwards  resigned.  Mr.  Cornell  then  insisted  his  first 
choice  should  be  adhered  to,  and  Mr.  Titus  assumed  the  arduous

"Deeply  imbued  with  advanced  Republican  principles,  Mr.  Titus 
has  always  been  active  in  the  counsels  of  the  party,  helping  to  place 
the  first  Fremont  banner  in  Ithaca  in  1856.  In  addition  to  being 
upon  the  Republican  electoral  ticket  in  1868,  and  his  supervisorships, 
he  has  served  three  terms  in  the  Assembly,  and  was  unanimously 
selected  as  the  candidate  of  the  county  for  the  senatorship  of  this 
district  in  1893,  but  his  nomination  was  defeated  by  a  combination 
of  delegates  from  the  other  counties. 

"Mr.  Titus  was  married  on  the  iith  of  June,  1855,  to  Isabella 
Johnson,  youngest  daughter  of  Ben  Johnson,  the  ablest  member  of 
the  bar  of  Tompkins  County.  At  his  comfortable  residence  in  this 
city,  graced  by  the  presence  of  his  wife,  is  dispensed  hospitality  of 
the  highest  character,  crowned  by  dignity,  and  enjoyed  by  hosts  of 
friends  who  feel  the  value  of  the  family  acquaintance  and  friendship. 
Mrs.  Titus  made  an  extended  European  tour  in  1892."

History  of  the  Dey  Family. 


The  Ithaca  Daily  Journal  of  Feb.  i,  1902,  said  of  him : 

"Under  the  title  of  'An  Ambassador  of  Christ,'  there  has  been 
published  in  New  York  a  biography  of  the  late  Rev.  Montgomery 
Schuyler,  D.D.,  who  died  in  St.  Louis  in  March,  1896,  at  the  age  of 
eighty-three.  A  graduate  of  Union  College,  he  was  a  teacher  for 
some  time  in  the  thirties  in  the  Ithaca  Academy  and  was  also  called 
to  the  Episcopal  Church  in  this  city  in  1842.  In  the  days  of  his 
youthful  beauty  and  strength,  like  most  popular  young  clerg)men,  he 
'shook  calls  out  of  his  sleeve,'  eighteen  of  which  are  mentioned  in 
the  book.  Tie  had  an  open,  generous,  affectionate  nature  and  is  re- 
membered by  a  few  of  the  aged  people  of  this  city.  A  portrait  is 
prefixed  to  the  volume." 


He  died  March  19,  1896,  at  St.  Louis,  Mo.

75600.  Rev,  Anthony  Schuyler,  D.D.  (Peter.)  70276.  He 
was  born  July  8,  1816,  at  Seneca,  N.  Y.  He  graduated  at  Hobart 
College,  1835.  Trustee  of  Hobart  College,  1860-8.  President 
Alumni  Association  of  Hobart  College,  1862.  Lawyer.  Protestant 
Episcopal  minister.  Ordained  in  1850.  Deputy  to  Gen.  Convention. 
He  married  (ist),  Dec.  23,  1839.  Eleanor  Board  Johnson.  7017 1. 
She  (lied  Nov.  2,  1849.      He  married  (2nd),  Mary  Hall. 

At  the  time  of  his  death  the  New  York   Tribune  said  : 

"Dr.  Schuyler  was  descended  from  an  old  Holland  family  that 
settled  in  Albany  in  1650.  He  was  born  in  Geneva,  N.  Y..  in  1816. 
and  was  graduated  from  Geneva  College,  now  Hobart,  in  1836.  He 
moved  to  Ithaca.  N.  \'.,  where  he  studied  law.  was  admitted  to  the 
bar,  and  married  .Miss  Eleanor  Johnson  in  1839.  .\fter  her  death, 
in  1849,  he  decided  toenterthe  ministry,  and  studied  under  the  Rev. 
\V.  S.  Walker,  of  Ithaca,  and  was  ordained  deacon  in  1850.  He 
served  a  diaconate  of  eighteen  months,  when  he  was  ordained  priest 
and  called  to  <  >swego  as  rector  of  Christ  Church. 

Ill  iS(,2  Dr.  Schuyler  was  called  H>  Christ  Church,  Rochester, 
where  he  remained  till  1868,  when  he  came  to  Orange  as  rector  of 
(irace  ("hur(  h.  Ht-  married  Miss  Mary  Allen,  daughter  of  Henry 
Allen,  of  Skaneateles.  in  i860,  and  she  survives  him.  with  four  sons 
and  one  daughter,  two  of  the  sons  Ixjing  by  Dr.  Schuyler's  first 
marriage. 

"Dr.  Schuyler  led  a  singularly  quiet  life,  although  his  influence 
was  felt  in  every  good  work.  He  was  a  Democrat  in  politics,  but 
voted  for  McKinley  both  in  1896  and  in  the  late  election.  .Mthough 
eighty-four  years  of  age,  all  his  faculties  were  keen  up  to  his  death. 
He  was  beloved  among  his  associates  in  the  clergj-  and  by  all  classes 
in  the  ( )ranges. 

•  The  funeral  will  be  held  on  Saturday  afternoon  at  3  o'clock  in 
the  church  of  which  he  was  rector,  and  will  be  conducted  by  the 
Right  Rev.  Thomas  A.  Starkey,  Bishop  of  the  Diocese  of  Newark. 
The  other  appointments  for  the  service  have  not  yet  been  made.  It

The  New  York  World  said  : 

"The  Rev.  Dr.  Anthony  Schuyler  died  from  heart  failure  at 
Grace  Church  Rectory,  Orange,  N.  J.,  early  yesterday  morning,  in 
his  eighty-fifth  year.  He  had  been  a  man  of  much  activity  and  of 
many  and  varied  interests,  and  old  age  sat  lightly  upon  him  until  the 
last.  He  preached  last  Sunday  and  attended  a  lecture  the  evening 
preceding  his  death.  For  the  last  few  months  it  had  been  his  custom 
to  alternate  with  his  associate  rector,  who  is  also  his  nephew,  the 
Rev.  Alexander  Mann — the  one  who  preached  the  evening  sermon 
would  preach  the  morning  sermon  on  the  following  Sunday.  When 
it  came  to  decide  who  should  preach  the  Thanksgiving  sermon.  Dr. 
Schuyler  gently  but  firmly  insisted  that  his  assistant  should  preside 
then,  giving  as  his  reason  that  he  had  preached  enough  Thanksgiving 
sermons.  'But,'  he  added,  'I  should  like  to  preach  the  last  sermon 
of  the  year  and  century.' 

"Dr.  Schuyler  was  sixth  in  descent  from  Philip  Pieterse  Schuy- 
ler, the  founder  of  the  family  in  this  country,  who  settled  at  Fort 
Orange,  now  Albany,  married  there  in  1650,  and  became  a  Magis- 
trate and  'Captain  of  Foot'  in  the  service  of  the  West  India  Com- 
pany. His  cousin,  coeval,  and  life-long  friend,  the  Rev.  Dr.  Mont- 
gomery Schuyler  of  St.  Louis,  died  four  years  ago,  at  the  age  of 
eighty-two.  Dr.  Anthony  Schuyler  was  born  in  Geneva,  N.  Y.,  July  8, 
18 1 6.  He  was  a  graduate  of  Geneva,  now  Hobart,  College,  of  the 
class  of  '35.  He  studied  law,  was  admitted  to  the  Ithaca  bar,  and 
for  ten  years  practiced  his  profession.  He  then  felt  that  he  had  a 
calling  for  the  ministry  of  the  Protestant  Fpiscopal  Church.  After  the 
necessary  preparatory  course  of  study,  he  was  ordained  in  1850,  and 
two  years  later  he  was  called  to  the  rectorship  of  Christ  Church,  in  Os- 
wego, N.  Y.  In  1862  he  became  rector  of  Christ  Church  in  Roches- 
ter, and  after  six  years  of  pastoral  work  there  he  accepted  a  call  from 
Grace  Church,  Orange,  a  charge  which  he  held  at  the  time  of  his 
death.  In  1859  his  alma  mater  conferred  the  degree  of  S.T.D.  upon 
him.  Since  the  foundation  of  the  Diocese  of  Newark  he  had  been 
Chairman  of  the  Standing  Committee  on  the  Constitution  and  Can- 
ons, besides  representing  his  Diocese  in  the  general  conventions. 


Seventh    Generation.  817 

"As  a  pulpit  orator,  Dr.  Schuyler  was  a  simple  and  direct 
speaker  and  a  writer  of  simple  but  unmistakably  scholarly  English. 
Two  volumes  of  his  sermons  have  been  published — 'Household  Reli- 
gion.' in  1887,  and  'The  Incarnate  Word,'  in  1899. 

••l)r.  Schuyler  was  twice  married.  His  first  wife,  to  whom  he 
was  wedded  in  1839,  ^'^^  Mi.ss  Kleanor  Johnson,  daughter  of  Ben 
Johnson  of  Ithaca.  She  died  in  1849,  leaving  a  daughter  and  three 
sons  ;  two  sons  are  now  living — C'harles  H.  and  Montgomery  Schuy- 
ler. In  i860  he  was  married  to  Miss  Mary  Hall  Allen  of  ( )swego, 
who  survives  him,  with  a  daughter  and  two  sons — the  Rev.  Hamilton 
Schuyler  of  Trenton  and  Anthony  Srhuvlor    Ir." 

The  ( )range  Chronicle  said  : 

T'or  over  thirty-two  years  Ur.  Schuyler  has  been  rector  of  Grace 
Church,  and  his  familiar  figure  with  its  firm  yet  elastic  walk,  his 
face,  with  a  pleasant  look  and  smile  of  recognition  for  every  one. 
seemed  integral  parts  of  the  life  oi  the  community.  Kven  those  who 
did  not  know  him  person.illy  took  a  pride  in  him  as  a  representative 
man  in  the  city,  while  to  the  men>l>crs  of  his  own  church  and  com- 
munion his  passing  away  came  with  a  sense  of  personal  bereavement. 
Kvery  one  who  knew  him  loved  him  ;  during  the  entire  time  in  which 
he  was  the  rector  of  Grace  Church  there  never  was  the  suggestion  of 
any  friction  or  unpleasantness  in  the  church,  and  he  had  not  an 
enemy  in  the  world.  He  has  left  behind  him  the  fragrance  of  a  con- 
sistent Christian  life  and  a  record  of  duty  well  done." 

The  Orange  Chronicle.  'Notes  by  the  Way,'  said  : 
"Kvery  one  who  has  been  privileged  to  enjoy  the  friendship,  or 
even  close  acquaintance,  of  Dr.  Schuyler  will  feel  a  personal  loss  in 
his  sudden  taking  off.  He  was  a  man  who  brought  the  spirit  of  his 
religion  into  his  daily  life,  who  made  no  pretense  of  saintliness  in  his 
outward  manner,  but  who  lost  no  opportunity  of  doing  something  to 
help  those  who  stooil  in  need,  whether  of  spiritual  or  bodily  help.  I 
well  remember  when  the  news  came  of  the  great  iire  in  Chicago  how 
quickly  he  responded  to  the  cry  for  help,  taking,  as  it  were,  the  very 
coat  from  his  back.  \'igorous.  logical  and  direct  in  thought,  his 
pulpit  utterances  always  commanded  the  deep  attention  of  intelligent 
congregations,  while  at  the  same  time  he  did  not  preach  over  the 
heads  of  those  whose  intellectual  attainments  were  more  modest.      In 


8i8  History  of  the  Dey  Family. 

his  long  sojourn  among  us  Dr.  Schuyler  had  endeared  himself  to  the 
whole  community,  and  his  going  out  at  the  ripe  age  of  over  four 
score  years  will  not  only  be  regretted,  but  his  life  and  work  will  leave 
an  atmosphere  of  a  noble  life  that  will  remain  while  memory  lasts." 

The  East  Orange  Weekly  News,  said  : 

"Dr.  Schuyler  was  a  large  man  physically,  and  a  man  of  large 
ways  in  generosity,  thoughtfulness  for  others,  and  in  grasp  upon  the 
affairs  of  his  calling.  ( )f  a  sunny  temperament,  genial  and  lovable 
ways,  and  much  gentle  dignity,  he  gathered  to  himself  the  esteem  and 
affection  of  all  who  knew  him.  His  tastes  were  quiet  and  his  habits 
of  life  marked  by  the  simple  dignity  that  belonged  to  his  sacred  call- 
ing. Although  his  early  training  and  practice  at  the  bar  had  given  a 
logical  cast  to  his  mental  processes  and  made  him  a  close  reasoner, 
he  had  a  lively  appreciation  of  the  laughable  side  of  things,  a  keen 
sense  of  humor,  and  enjoyed  a  good  story.  His  venerable  and  benig- 
nant presence,  made  familiar  by  his  walks  about  the  town,  will  be 
generally  missed,  and  a  sense  of  loss  will  visit  many  who  are  not 
members  of  his  parish." 

A  communication  in  The  ( )range  Chronicle,  said  : 

"For  thirty -two  years  the  Kev.  Dr.  Schuyler  had  been  a  promi- 
nent clerical  Hgure  in  this  community,  honored  and  beloved  by  all 
who  knew  him.  In  his  parish  he  was  faithful  and  diligent,  a  pro- 
moter of  peace  and  good-will.  In  his  relations  to  his  people  he  was 
always  sympathetic  and  approachable.  To  the  poor  he  was  kind, 
humane  and  accessible,  and  he  never  courted  the  rich.  Like  his 
Master,  he  was  no  respecter  of  persons. 

"Above  most  clergymen  he  was  constant  and  zealous  in  the  sup- 
port of  missions,  and  under  his  leadership  Grace  Parish  was  one  of  the 
most  forward  and  liberal  in  the  Episcopal  Church  in  gifts  to  the  mis- 
sionary work.  Dr.  Schuyler's  loyalty  to  his  church  was  steadfast  and 
unquestioned,  and  was  unaffected  by  any  degree  of  narrowness.  In 
his  relations  to  Christians  of  other  communions  he  was  tolerant  and 
friendly.  In  society  he  was  affable,  cordial  and  free  from  cold 
conventionalities. 

"Dr.  Schuyler's  sermons  were  distinguished  by  Gospel  purity 
and  soundness  and  by  spiritual  fervor.  They  ever  tended  to  the 
edification  of  the  believer  and  the  awakening  of  the  indifferent  and 


Seventh    Generation.  819 

unrenewed  in  heart ;  they  were  vigorous  in  thought  to  an  uncommon 
degree  and  were  touched  with  a  strain  of  native  eloquence  all  his 
own.  They  also  possessed  the  rare  quality  of  engaging  the  attention 
of  the  thoughtful  reader  when  printed,  as  of  the  heart  when  delivered 
from  the  pulpit.  Dr.  Schuyler's  energetic  intellect,  literary  instinct, 
and  grasp  of  spiritual  truth  made  him  a  pastor-preacher  who  could 
not  fail  to  edify  the  serious  minded  of  his  hearers.  Although  strong 
and  clear  in  his  convictions,  he  had  no  pride  of  opinion,  and  was 
often  ready  to  yield  to  the  judgment  of  inferior  minds. 

"Throughout  the  life  and  work  of  Dr.  Schuyler  there  shone  a 
character  humble,  simple,  transparent.  It  was,  perhaps,  the'  artless- 
ness  and  simplicity  of  his  character  which  induced  him,  after  a  few- 
years  spent  at  the  bar,  to  abandon  the  legal  profession  and  give  him- 
self to  the  Christian  ministr)-.  Doubtless,  he  shrank  from  the  tortu- 
ous devices,  the  wiles  and  subtleties  which  are  sonietimes  found 
associated  with  the  practice  of  that  profession.  Full  of  years  and 
honors,  this  servant  of  (lo<l  rests  from  his  labors,  and  his  works  do 
f()llf)w  him.  lie  sought  not  the  applause  of  men  and  none  offered 
him  reproach. 

"'I'he  Christian  pastor,  faithful  and  beloved  :  the  loving  father, 
husband  and  friend  ;  the  luwnble  follower  of  Christ,  the  gentle,  guile- 
less spirit  has  entered  into  the  rest  that  remainelh  to  the  people  of 
C>«k1.  'i"his  humble  tribute  is  laid  on  his  tomb  by  one  who  for  many 
years  had  the  honor  and  the  happiness  to  serve  with  him  as  his  yoke 
fellow  in  the  work  of  the  church.

828  History  of  the  Dey  Family. 

The  following  in  regard  to  their  courtship  and  marriage  is  from 
the  Ithaca  Daily  Journal : 

"The  marriage  took  place  yesterday  at  All  Souls'  Church,  New 
York,  of  Mr.  Charles  Marston  (oldest  son  of  Alderman  John  Mars- 
ton,  J.  P.,  of  The  Oaks,  Wolverhampton),  and  Miss  Louise  Isabel 
Johnson,  only  daughter  of  Mr.  W.  C.  Johnson,  of  Ithaca,  New  York. 
The  marriage  was  solemnized  by  the  Rev.  Dr.  Schuyler,  uncle  of  the 
bride.  Mr.  Marston  is  well  known  in  political  and  commercial  circles 
in  Wolverhampton,  and  is  a  very  popular  officer  of  the  3d  Volunteer 
Battalion  South  Staffordshire  Regiment.  All  his  friends  will  join  in 
wishing  him  and  Mrs.  Marston  long  life  and  happiness.  Mr.  Mars- 
ton will  arrive  home  with  his  bride  after  March  25th,  and  take  up  his 
residence  at  The  Hightields,  Penn-road,  Wolverhiimpton. — Wolver- 
hampton (Kng.)  News,  Jan.  31. 

"The  above  announcement  from  the  Wolverhampton  News  is 
the  sequel  to  a  very  pretty  romance,  and  as  the  bride  in  the  case  was 
born  and  brought  up  in  this  city,  the  particulars  are  interesting  here, 
especially  as  Mrs.  Marston  leaves  a  city  full  of  friends  for  her  new 
home  in  England. 

"Five  years  ago  last  summer,  she,  being  but  a  girl  of  fifteen,  at 
our  High  School,  went  with  a  party  made  up  of  Dr.  and  Mrs.  North- 
rup  of  New  York,  and  her  mother  to  Europe.  They  landed  at  (Glas- 
gow, Scotland,  and  spent  about  two  months  doing  the  British  Islands, 
taking  ship  for  home  at  Liverpool.  The  usual  stop  was  made  at 
Queenstown,  Ireland,  for  passengers  and  mails,  and  in  the  hurly- 
burly  of  departure  the  party  noticed  especially,  a  young  man  taking 
leave  of  his  home  friends.  Very  soon  Dr.  Northrup  made  his  ac- 
quaintance in  the  smoking  room  and  ere  New  York  was  reached  they 
were  all  the  greatest  friends,  so  much  that  Dr.  Northrup  would  not 
allow  him  to  go  to  a  hotel,  but  took  him  to  his  home,  and  during  all 
his  stay  in  America  that  house  was  his  home.  It  was  Mr.  Charles 
Marston  of  Wolverhampton.  England,  and  as  he  was  over  to  look 
into  various  of  our  industries,  was  here  many  months  and  traveled 
extensively.  Meantime  Miss  Johnson  came  back  to  Ithaca  and  to 
her  work  in  the  High  School.  Two  years  later  the  same  party  went 
again  to  Europe,  and  landing  at  Rotterdam,  Holland,  they  found  Mr. 
Marston  on  the  dock  to  greet  them,  and  he  traveled  with  them  in 
Holland,  Germany  and  Austria,  and  while  in  Germany  the  part}-  re- 


Eighth   Generation.  829 

ceived  a  most  cordial  invitation  from  Mayor  and  Mrs.  Marston  of 
Wolverhampton,  to  visit  them  before  returning  to  America.  They 
had  a  charming  stay  at  Wolverhampton  of  about  ten  days,  and  then 
their  entertainers  took  them  for  a  week  to  their  seaside  home  in 
Wales,  not  far  from  Liverpool,  from  which  port  they  sailed. 

"In  the  meantime  young  Mr.  Marston  seeing  that  Miss  Johnson 
was  without  a  brother,  tried  to  make  the  void  good,  and  if  there  was 
any  thought  of  being  a  lover,  he  kept  up  a  thinking,  but  made  no 
sign.  Hut  last  winter  he  suddenly  appeared  at  the  home  of  his  friends 
in  New  \'ork — came  over  to  ask  a  question — was  here  for  six  weeks, 
and  went  back  without  an  answer,  as  while  he  was  held  in  the  highest 
esteem,  that  one  little  'yes'  meant  l)anishment  from  home  and  countr)-. 

"A  correspondence  followed  and  the  same  party  again  crossed 
the  Atlantic  this  last  summer,  landing  at  Antwerp  in  lielgium  ;  and 
to  show  how  fast  Mr.  Marsion  was  getting  Americanized,  as  their 
ship  was  being  warped  into  its  dock  on  the  bank  of  the  Scheldt,  there 
he  was  mounted  on  the  head  of  a  barrel,  swinging  his  hat  and  gestic- 
ulating like  a  rirst  class  stump  speaker.  He  journeyed  with  them 
through  liclgium,  France  and  into  l)eautiful  Switzerland,  and  here 
among  the  romantic  surroundings  of  that  lovely  land.  Miss  Johnson 
made  up  her  mind  that  such  devotion  was  worth  requitting,  if  at  the 
cost  of  home  and  country. 

".\s  a  slight  proof  of  the  esteem  in  which  the  young  couple  are 
hekl  by  a  large  circle  of  friends,  we  would  say  that  they  have  been 
almost  'snowed  under"  with  useful,  beautiful  and  valuable  presents.  "

He  was  born  in  1758  in  the  village  of  Peekskill,  N.  Y.     He  married. 

Lossing's  Cyclopedia  of  .American  History  says  of  him  : 

"John  Paulding,  one  of  the  captors  of  Andre,  was  born  in  1758 
in  New  York;  died  Feb.  18,  1818,  at  Staatsburg.  N.  Y.  Three 
times  he  was  made  a  prisoner  during  the  War  for  Independence,  and 
had  escaped  the  second  time,  only  four  days  before  the  capture  of 
Andr^.  He  and  his  associates  received  from  Congress  a  silver  medal 
each,  and  were  awarded  an  annuity  of  S200.  In  1827  a  marble 
monument  was  erected  by  the  corporation  of  New  York  City  in  St. 
Peter's  churchyard  near  Peekskill  as  a  memorial  of  him." 

The  following  documents  are  important  to  a  correct  judgment  of 
the  conduct  and  motives  of  the  captors  of  Andre,  on  which  even 
Jared  Sparks,  with  less  than  his  scrupulous  regard  for  exact  justice, 
has  thrown  down  unmerited  distrust.  They  were  originally  published 
in  February  and  March,  181 7,  immediately  after  the  remarks  of  Major 
Tallmadge  in  Congress.     John  Paulding's  Affidavit : 

"John  Paulding,  of  the  County  of  Westchester,  one  of  the  per- 
sons who  took  Major  Andre',  being  duly  sworn,  saith  that  he  was 
three  times,  during  the  Revolutionary  War,  a  prisoner  with  the 
enemy ;  the  first  time  he  was  taken  at  the  White  Plains  when  under 
the  command  of  Captain  Requa,  and  carried  to  New  York  and  con- 
fined in  the  Sugar-House.     The  second  time  he  was  taken  near  Tar-

rytown,  when  under  the  command  of  Lieutenant  Peacock,  and  con- 
fined in  the  North  Dutch  Church,  in  New  York;  that  both  these 
times  he  escaped,  and  the  last  of  them  only  four  days  before  the  cap- 
ture of  Andre  ;  that  the  last  time  he  was  taken  he  was  wounded  and 
lay  in  the  hospital  in  New  York,  and  was  discharged  on  the  arrival 
of  the  news  of  peace  there  ;  that  he  and  his  companions,  VanWart 
and  Williams,  among  other  articles  which  they  took  from  Major 
Andre,  were  his  watch,  horse,  saddle  and  bridle,  and  which  they 
retained  as  prize ;  that  they  delivered  over  Andre,  with  the  papers 
found  on  him.  to  Col.  Jameson,  who  commanded  on  the  lines;  that 
shortly  thereafter  they  were  summoned  to  appear  as  witnesses  at  the 
headtjuarters  of  (leneral  Washington,  at  Tappan  ;  that  they  were  at 
Tappan  some  days,  and  examined  as  witnesses  before  the  court-mar- 
tial on  the  trial  of  Smith,  who  brought  Andre  ashore  from  on  board 
the  sloop  of  war ;  that  while  there  Col.  William  (i.  .Smitli  redeemed 
the  watch  from  them  for  thirty  guineas;  which,  and  the  money  re- 
ceived for  the  horse,  saddle  and  bridle,  they  divided  ecjually  among 
themselves  and  four  other  |)ersons.  who  belonged  to  their  party,  but 
when  Andre  was  taken,  were  about  half  a  mile  otT,  keeping  a  lookout 
on  a  hill  ;  that  Andre  had  no  gold  or  silver  money  with  him.  but  only 
some  Continental  bills,  to  the  amount  of  about  eighty  dollars ;  that 
the  medals  given  to  him  and  \'anWart  and  Williams,  by  Congress, 
were  presented  to  then)  by  (leneral  Washington,  when  the  arujy  was 
encamped  at  N'erplanck's  I'oint.  and  that  they  on  the  occasion  dined 
at  his  table  ;  that  Williams  removed  some  years  ago  from  Westches- 
ter county  to  the  northern  part  of  the  state,  but  where  particularly, 
the  deponent  does  not  know.  And.  the  deponent,  referring  to  the 
affidavit  of  \'anWart.  taken  on  the  28th  of  January  last,  and  which  he 
has  read,  says  the  same  is  in  substance  true.

with  the  enemy.  On  the  contrary,  they  were  universally  esteemed, 
and  taken  to  be  ardent  and  faithful  in  the  cause  of  the  country.  We 
further  certify,  that  the  said  Paulding  and  Williams  are  not  now  resi- 
dent among  us,  but  that  Isaac  VanWart  is  a  respectable  freeholder 
of  the  town  of  Mount  Pleasant  ;  that  we  are  well  acquainted  with 
him ;  and  we  do  not  hesitate  to  declare  our  belief  that  there  is  not 
an  individual  in  the  County  of  Westchester,  acquainted  with  Isaac 
VanWart,  who  would  hesitate  to  describe  him  as  a  man  whose  integ- 
rity is  as  unimpeachable  as  his  veracity  is  undoubted.  In  these 
respects  no  man  in  the  County  of  Westchester  is  his  superior.

"Major  Paulding  will  be  very  much  missed  in  the  community,

written  by  Mrs.  Dey  : 

"Beaufort,  N.  C,  Feb.  18,  1902. 

"Dear  Sir: — Mr.  J.  W.  Dey,  of  Newark,  N.  J.,  has  sent  me  a 
letter  written  by  yourself  to  him.  dated  Dec.  9.  1901,  with  recjuest 
that  1  answer  it.  Mr.  Dey  is  my  brother-in-law,  and  as  I  am  of  this 
state,  it  seems  to  me  that  there  are  those  near  him  who  could  do  it 
better.  My  husband  is  Charles  Pitman  Dey,  of  New  Jersey.  His 
father,  John  Dey,  now  living  in  Newark,  N.  J.,  age  86  years.  He 
was  born  July  26,  1S15.  His  parents  were  Joseph  Dey  and  his  wife, 
Klizabeth  Laird.  Joseph  Dey's  parents  were  John  Dey  and  Anna 
Longstreet,  and  my  understanding  of  it  is — their  home  was  on  Staten 
Island.     This  is  as  far  back  as  I  have  received  information. 

"Respectfully, 

"Mrs.  C.  p.  Dev."

"Dec.  20,  1901. 

"M.  E.  Poole,  Sir: — In  reply  to  above  will  say  that  I  do  not 
consider  that  I  can  be  related  to  families  mentioned  on  sheet  enclosed 
with  above,  as  my  father  and  grandfather  belonged  to  Scotland.  I 
was  born  in  Scotland  :  came  to  this  country  twenty-one  years  ago. 

"Yours  respectfully. 

-Wm.  Dkv." 

"Sleepy  Eve,  Minn..  Feb.  7,  1902. 

"Dear  Sir: — I  know  little  or  nothing  of  my  father's  ancestors. 
1  never  knew  any  of  his  people.  His  father's  name  was  James  and 
lived  as  far  as  I  understand  in  Aberdeen,  Scotland.  He  died  in  the 
early  40's.  My  father  died  in  1874;  my  father's  name  was  Robert. 
There  was  quite  a  number  of  Deys  in  and  around  Aberdeen. 

"Yours  respectfully, 

"William  Dey."

THE  FAMILY  IN  ENGLAND. 

(From  thf.  Dictionakn  oi   Naiio.nai,   Bkm.kai'Uv.    Indited 

nv  SiDNKv  Lek.) 

"Andrew  Boorde  or  Borde  (i49o?-i549)  traveller  and  physi- 
cian," "Andreas  Parforatus,"  as  he  jocosely  calls  himself,  was  born 
at  "Boord's  Hill  in  I  lolmsdayle,"  near  Cucktield,  Sussex,  some  time 
before  or  about  1490,  as  by  1521  he  was  appointed  suffragan  bishop 
of  Chichester,  and  must  have  therefore  then  been  thirty  years  old. 
He  was  brought  up  at  Oxford,  and  was  received  under  age — and 
consequently  against  their  rules — into  the  strictest  order  of  monks, 
the  Carthusians,  evidently  at  the  London  Charterhouse.  Andrew 
Boorde  is  therefore  not  to  be  identified  with  his  namesake  (the  son 
of  John  Boorde),  the  bondsman,  or  villein  regardant — attached  to  the 
soil  and  sellable  with  it — of  the  manor  of  Ditchling.  Sussex,  whom 
Lord  Abergaveny  manumitted  on  27  June,  1510  (Madox,  Form.  Aug.. 
1702,  p.  420),  for,  if  not  a  freeman  by  birth,  his  monkhood  had  made 
him  one.  About  15 17  he  was  falsely  accused  of  being  "conversant 
with  women;"  and  in  or  about  152 1  was  "dyspensyd  with  the  rely- 
gyon  by  the  byshopps  of  Romes  bulles,  to  be  suffrygan  of  Chichester; 
the  whych  I  never  dyd  execute  the  auctore"  or  authority.  About 
1528,  after  some  twenty  years  of  vegetarianism  and  fasting  with  the 
Carthusians,  Boorde  writes  to  the  prior  of  the  Hinton  Charterhouse 
in  Somerset,  "I  am  nott  able  to  byd  the  rugorosite  off  your  relygon  ;" 
and  he  accordingly  gets  a  dispensation  from  this  religious  or  monkish 
vow  from  Prior  Batmanson,  and  goes  over  sea  to  study  medicine. 
There  he  "travelled  for  to  have  the  notycyon  aractes  of  Physyke  in 
duers  regyons  and  countres.  and   returned  into  Englande"  in    1530.

He  stayed  with  Sir  Robert  Drewry,  attended  and  cured  the  Duke  of 
Norfolk,  and  was  by  him   'connocated  to   wayte   on   his  prepotent 
mageste,  Henry  VHI".       I  le  desiring 'to  have   a  trewe  cognyscyon 
of  the  practis  of  Physycke"  he  passed  "over  the  seas  agayne,  and 
dyd  go  to  all   the  vnyuersities  and  scoles  approrbated  and  beynge 
within  the  precinct  of  Chrystendome".     ( )f  these  he  names  ( )rleans, 
Poictiers,   Toulouse,  and   Montpelier  in    France,  and   W  ittenburg  in 
Germany,  and  he  quotes  the  practice  of  surgeons  in  Rome,  and  Com- 
postella  in  Navarre,  whither  he  went  on  pilgrimage  with  nine  English 
and  Scotchmen.      By  29  May,  1534.  Boorde  was  back  at  the  London 
Charterhouse,  and  look  the  oath  of  conformity.     He  was  then  "keppt 
in  thrawldom"  there,   and   freed   by   Cromwell,  whom   he   visited  in 
Hampshire.     Cromwell   appears  to  have  sent   him  abroad   (on    his 
third  tour)  to  report  on  the  state  of  feeling  about   Henry  \'HI  :  and 
to   Cromwell   he   writes   from    Bordeaux  on    20  June.    1535:     '"Sens 
my  departyng  from  you,  I    have   perlustratyd   Normandy,    I'rawnce, 
Gascony  and  Byon  (Bayonne);  the  regyons  also  of  Castyle,  liiscay, 
Spayne,  paarte  of  Portyvgale.  and  returned  thorow  Arogon,  Nanerne, 
and  now  an  att   Burdyo.se.  and   few    frendys   Vnglond   hath   in   theys 
partes  of  Europe,  as  Jesus,  your  louer  knowth."      The  pope,  emperor 
and  all  other  Cliristian  kings  (save  the  French)  were,  with  their  peo- 
ple, set  against  Henry.     Boorde  then  fell  ill  ;  but   he  sent  to  Crom- 
well, doubtless  from  Spain,  and  with  directions  for  their  culture,  "the 
seedes   of   reuberbe.   the   which   come   owtt   off    Barbary.      In    these 
partes  ytt  ys  had  for  a  grett  tresure.'"     This  was  nearly  two  hundred 
years  before  the   plant   was  cultivated   in    England   (1742).     ( )ii   his 
recover)-  Boorde  returned  to  England,  and  went  to  Scotland,  whence 
he  wrote  to  Cromwell  on  i  April.  1536:  "'I  am  now  in  Skotland,  in 
a  lytle  vnyuersyte  or  study  named  Glasco,  where  I  study  and  practyce 
physyk.    for    the    sustentacyon    off    my    lyuyng."     He    disliked    the 
Scotch  :  "Trust  yow  no  Skott,  for  they  wyll  yowse  Hatteryng  wordes  ; 
and  all  ys  falshode."     "Also,  it  is  naturelly  geuen.  or  els   it  is  of  a 
deuellyshe  dysposicion  of  a  Scottysh  man.  not  to  loue  nor  fauour  an 
Englishe  man."     After  a  year's  stay  in   Scotland,  Boorde  came  back 
to  London,  attending  a  patient   in   Yorkshire  on    his   road,   and  saw- 
Cromwell.     In    London  two  horses   were  stolen   from  him  ;  and  in 
1537,  13  Aug.,  from  Cambridge,  he  appealed  to  Cromwell  to  get  them 
back  from  their  buyers,  and  also  recover  53  1.  owed  to  him   by  Lon-

doners,  who  called  him  "appostala.  and  all-to-novvght"  (good  for 
nothingj,  and  otherwise  slandered  him.  Late  in  1538,  or  after  the 
dissolution  of  the  religious  houses  in  1538,  Boorde  must  have  started 
for  his  longest  tour  abroad,  and  gone  through  Calais.  Gravelines, 
Antwerp,  Cologne,  Cobletz,  Worms,  Venice,  thence  by  ship  to  Rhodes 
and  Joppy,  and  on  to  Jerusalem  to  see  the  Holy  Sepulchre.  He 
probably  came  back  through  Naples  and  Rome,  crossed  the  Alps, 
and  settled  down  for  a  time  at  his  favourite  university,  Montpelier, 
"the  nobilis  vniuersite  of  the  world  for  phisicions  and  surgions,"  "the 
hed  vniuersite  in  al  Europe  for  the  practes  of  physycke".  There,  by 
1542,  he  had  written  his  "Fyrst  Boke  of  the  Introduction  of  Knowl- 
edge" (publ.  1547?) — the  first  printed  "Handbook  of  Europe" — his 
"Dyetary"  (publ.  1542  ?),  his  "Breuyary  of  Health"  (publ.  1547).  and 
his  lost  "Boke  of  Berdes"  (beards).  In  his  "Uyetary'"  lie  embodied 
a  little  anonymous  treatise  ("The  boke  for  to  Lerne  a  man  to  be 
wyse,  in  buylding  of  his  howse  for  the  helth  of  body  to  holde  quyet- 
ness  for  the  helth  of  his  soule  and  body.  The  boke  for  a  good  hus- 
bande  to  lerne;"  Robert  Wyer  [London.  1540?]),  which  he  had 
either  written  previously  himself,  or  which  he  then  stole.  His  "Boke 
of  Berdes"  (condemning  them)  we  know  only  from  the  imperfect 
copy  of  an  answer  to  it  by  one  Barnes — "Barnes  in  defence  of  the 
Berde"  or  "The  treatise  answering  the  Boke  of  Berdes,"  London, 
1543  ?,  in  which  he  accuses  Boorde  of  getting  drunk  at  a  Dutchman's 
house,  and  vomiting  over  his  long  beard,  which  stank  so  next  morn- 
ing that  he  had  to  shave  it  ofif. 

Boorde  was  no  doubt  in  England,  when  his  "Dyetary"  was  pub- 
lished in  1542,  though  its  dedication  to  the  Duke  of  Norfolk  is  dated 
from  Montpelier.  5  May,  for  Barnes  says  that  on  Boorde's  return, 
evidently  to  London,  where  many  patients  resorted  to  him,  he  "had 
set  forth  iij  bokes  to  be  prynted  in  Fleet  Strete".  He  probably  set- 
tled at  Winchester,  and  in  1545  published  a  "Pronosticacion"  as  he 
most  likely  did  in  earlier  and  later  years.  In  1547  he  may  have 
been  for  a  time  in  London — a  "Doctor  Borde"  was  then  the  last 
tenant  of  the  house  appropriated  to  the  master  of  the  hospital  of  St. 
Giles-in-the-Fields — to  see  to  the  publication  of  his  books,  which  had 
been  five  years  in  the  press;  the  "Breuyary"  (a  medical  treatise),  its 
companion  "Astronamye"  ("I  dyed  wrett  and  make  this  boke  in  iiii 
dayes,  and  wretten  with  one  old  pen  with  out  mendyng"),  and  his 
"Introduction  of  Knowledge,"  besides  a  second  edition  of  his  "Dye-

tar)".  Soon  after  this,  "within  this  eight  yere,"  says  the  Bishop  of 
Winchester,  Dr.  John  Poynet,  in  1556,  Boorde  was  proved  before  the 
justices  "to  have  kept  three  loose  women"  in  his  chamber  at  Winches- 
ter, "and  the  harlots  openly  in  the  stretes  and  great  churche  of  Win- 
chester (were)  punished'.  Whether  for  this,  or  some  other  and  later 
offense,  Boorde  was  put  into  the  Fleet  prison,  in  London,  and  there, 
on  9  April,  1549,  made  his  will,  leaving  two  hou.ses  in  Lynn  (which 
Recorder  Conysby  had  given  him),  tenements  in  Pevensey.  Sussex 
(which  he  got  on  the  death  of  his  brother),  and  houses  and  chattels 
in  and  about  Winchester.  He  died  soon  after,  probably  near  si.xty 
years  old.  and  his  will  was  proved  on  25  April,  1549. 

liesides  the  books  above  named,  lioorde's  "Itinerary  of  Kngland," 
or  "Ferigination  of  Doctor  Boorde"  was  printed  by  Hearne  in  1735; 
his  "Itinerary  of  Kurope."  and  his  "Boke  of  Sermons"  are  not  known 
to  exist;  two  bits  oi  "Almanacs"  or  "Prognostications"  in  the  British 
Museum  for  1537  and  i54o(?)  may  or  may  not  be  his.  The  books, 
etc.,  assigned  to  him  without  any  evidence  are  :  "The  Merie  Tales  of 
the  Mad  Men  of  (iotam."  "Scogins  Jests"  ("an  idle  thing  unjustly 
fathered  upon  Dr.  Boorde"  says  Anthony  ;i  Wood),  "The  Myluer  of 
Abynton,"  and  a  jocose  poem  on  friars.  "Nos  \'agabunduli '.  He  is 
also  absurdly  supposed  to  have  been  the  original  Merryandrew.  The 
"Prom])tuarium  I'hysics"  and  "De  Indicijs  urinarium,"  which  Bale 
assigns  to  lioorde,  may  be  his  "Breuyary,"  and  its  second  part,  the 
"Extrauagantes".  Besides  the  first  Handbook  of  Europe,  we  owe  to 
Boorde  the  first  printed  specimen  of  the  Gypsy  language,  given  in  his 
description  of  Egypt  in  his  "Introduction".  His  anticipation  of 
Shakespeare  in  the  close  of  passage  following  is  well  known  :  "English- 
men be  bold,  strong  and  mighty;  the  women  be  full  of  bewty,  and  they 
be  decked  gaily,  they  fare  sumptiously  ;  God  is  serued  in  their  churches 
deuoutly  ;  but  treson  and  deceyt  among  them  is  vsed  craftyly,  the  more 
pitie  ;  for  yf  they  were  true  wythin  themselfs,  thei  nede  not  to  fere  al- 
though al  nacions  were  set  against  them."  For  his  treatment  of  another 
of  Shakespeare's  topics,  Englishmen's  fantasticality  in  dress,  Boorde 
made  himself  famous  by  his  wood  cut  of  an  Englishman  standing 
naked,  with  a  pair  of  shears  in  one  hand  and  a  piece  of  cloth  over 
the  other  arm,  above  the  lines  :  — 

I  am  an  English  man,  and  naked  I  stand  here, 

Musyng  in  my  niynd  what  rayinent  I  shal  were  ; 

For  now  I  wyll  were  this,  and  now  I  wyl  were  that  ; 

Now  I  wyl  were  I  cannot  tel  what

In  spite  of  Boorde's  sad  slip  at  the  end  of  his  life,  no  one  can 
read  his  racy  writings  without  admiring  and  liking  the  cheer)',  frank, 
bright,  helpful,  and  sensible  fellow  who  penned  them.

Lineage — According  to  the  visitation  of  1684.  the  family  of 
Boord,  Borde  or  Board  is  "descended  anciently  from  Sussex".  In  7 
Henry  VI.  (i429),\\'illiam  Borde  de  Badecomb  (Batcomb),  Somerset, 
granted  certain  lands  at  Vevelchester  (Ilchester),  into  the  Almshouse 
there,  where  the  deeds  may  still  be  seen.  In  22  Henr)-  VI.  (1444), 
William  Borde  was  Echeator  of  Berkshire.  At  the  end  of  the  15th 
century,  John  Borde  was  rector  of  Lymington,  Somerset,  in  which 
office  he  was  succeeded  by  Thomas,  afterwards  Cardinal  Wolsey. 

The  recorded  pedigree  in  the  College  of  Arms  with  Richard 
Boord,  of  Batcomb,  Somerset,  "descended  anciently  from  Sussex," 
was  father  of  Robert  Board,  of  Batcombe,  m.  20  Dec.  1595,  Ann,

"I.  Austin  Friars,  E.  C,  June  15,  1885. 

"My  Dear  Sir: — I  am  quite  ashamed  of  having  left  your  polite 
and  very  interesting  letter  of  May  19th,  so  long  unanswered.  As  you 
know  I  was  in  New  York,  for  a  few  days  only,  in  May.  and  regret 
not  having  seen  you  when  you  kindly  called  at  my  hotel.  Since  my 
return  I  have  hardly  found  the  day  long  enough  for  business  matters, 

"Our  family  is  no  way  related  to  the  Board  family.  My  father 
purchased  the  property  of  I'a.xhill  about  1862.  'i'he  Board  family,  1 
think,  ended  in  the  female  line  marrying  some  Crawford,  and  they 
ended  also  in  female  line,  she  marrying  Albert  Smith,  the  celebrated 
Alpine  lecturer.  The  property  was  then  sold  to  a  Mr.  Herbert 
Noyes,  who  mortgaged  it  and  in  '62  my  father  bought  it  of  the  mort- 
gagees. He  sold  it  again  in  '77.  just  before  his  death  as  I.  his  only 
son,  did  not  care  about  a  country  house  so  large  and  expensive  as 
that.  I  will  try  and  tind  you  a  photograph  of  the  original  house  and 
my  father's  additions. 

"Are  you  aware  that  one  of  the  Boards  was  Andrew,  Private 
Chaplain  to  Henry  VHL,  who  was  a  great  wit  and  from  whom  has 
descended  the  expression  'Merry  Andrew'  ?  The  house  had  been 
allowed  to  fall  into  terribly  bad  repair  and  the  additions  and  stables 
and  glass  houses  cost  my  father  some  §200,000  I  I  It  w-as  his  one 
hobby  and  being  a  good  antiquarian  he  made  a  lovely  place  of  it.  It 
now  belongs  to  a  Mr.  Strudy,  a  London  stock  broker.

FIRST  (IKNKRAIloN. 

125000.     Cornelius  BoAKM.     He  came  from  Sussex,  England 
(o.  Wales),  with  his  wife  Klizabeth  and  two  sons,  James  and   David, 
in  1730.  to  discover  copper  mines  for  Lord  Sterling,  and  settled  first 
at  liloomficld.  Kssex   Co.,   N.  j..   and   later  at   Hoardville.   Pompton 
Township,  Passaic  County.  X.  J.      lie  was  a  civil  engineer  and   sur- 
veyor.   Cornelius  Hoard,  the  original  Hoard  emigrant,  came  to  America 
from  England  in  the  year  1730.     He  was  sent  out  under  the  patron- 
age of  Alexander  Lord  Sterling  to  search  the  mountains  of  northern 
New  Jersey  and  southern  New  \ork  for  copper  ore.     He  traveled  up 
the  Kamapo  N'alley,  and  on  one  of  the  head   waters   of  the   Ramapo 
creek  he  found  not  copper  but  iron  in  great  abundance.     The  place 
of  this  find  of  iron  ore  he  named   Stirling  after  his  patron,  and  he 
built  there  a  forge  in  the  year  1730  to  1736.     The  first  iron  made  in 
that  part  of  the  country  was  made  by  Cornelius  Hoard,  and  it  is  abso- 
lutely certain  that  this  first  Stirling  Forge  was  the  beginning  of  the 
works  that  later  made    iron   for  cannon    and   balls   used    during  the 
Revolution  ;  also  for  the  great  chain  stretched  across  the   Hudson  at 
West    Point.     Original    documents    are    deposited  with    the    county 
clerk  of  the  County  of  Orange,   N.  Y.     These   are  in   the   shape   of 
sworn  evidence  given  at  a  great  land  line  trial  held  in  Chester  in  the 
year  1785,  during  which  trial  James  and  Joseph  Board,  sons  of  Cor- 
nelius, gave  testimony  from  which  are  quoted  the  facts  mentioned 
above    as  to  the  time  and   manner,  etc.,  in    which   Cornelius    Board 
came  to  America. 


9IO  History  of  the  Board  Family. 

The  Record  of  Deeds  at  Perth  Amboy,  N.  J.,  says  : 

"Cornelius  Board,  on  lytli  of  Au^aist.  1732.  bought  150  acres  ot 
land  'at  the  little  falls  of  Pisaack'.  James  Alexander.  Surveyor 
General." 

The  History  of  Iron  in  all  Ages  in  Proceedings  of  the  New 
Jersey  Historical  Society  for  1891,  says: 

"Cornelius  Board  was  seeking  for  copper  mines  and  bought,  in 
1732,  157  acres  of  land,  half  a  mile  along  the  Passaic  River,  at  Little 
Falls,  evidently  in  connection  with  a  proposed  iron  industry.  He 
also  bought  in  1737  several  tracts  along  the  W'anaque  and  Ringwood 
rivers,  evidently  for  the  iron  in  them  and  for  water  power.  He  sold 
in  1740,  to  Ringwood  Company — the  Ogdens  of  Newark — 16  acres 
at  Ringwood  for  ;{^63." 

The  History  of  Orange  County,  N.  \  .,  by  E.  M.  Ruttenbcr  and 
L.  H.  Clark,  says  : 

"Cornelius  Board  and  his  sons  owned  the  land  in  the  Pompton 
Valley,  consisting  of  some  fifteen  hundred  acres." 

Records  in  office  of  the  Secretary  of  State  at  Trenton,  N.  J.,  say  : 

"Cornelius  Board  and  Elizabeth,  his  wife,  gave  a  deed  April  15, 
1740,  to  Josiah  Ogden  and  others  of  16  acres  at  Ringwood.  Witness, 
James  Board." 

"Jonathan  Davis  and  Joseph  Bertram,  trustees  of  Cornelius 
Board,  give  deed  to  Elizabeth  Board  of  Ringwood,  Bergen  County, 
N.  J.  Mentions  will  of  Cornelius  Board  in  which  Joseph  Board  is 
sole  executor  (Jan.  29,  1744).  James  Board  one  of  witnesses  to 
deed.  May  6,  1754." 

"Joseph  Board,  of  Bergen  County,  to  Nicholas  Gouverneur  and 
others ;  'Part  of  tract  surveyed  to  Cornelius  Board,  deceased,  on  the 
28th  of  Feb.,  1739,'  being  same  tract  deeded  to  Elizabeth  Board  by 
Jonathan  Davis  and  Joseph  Bertram,  trustees  of  Cornelius  Board.

ter of  Benjamin  Harlow,  John  Bull  and  Hannah  Holly,  XN'illiam  Bull 
and  ,Sarah  Wells.  William  Bull  was  born  in  February,  16S9,  and 
sailed  from  Dublin.  Ireland,  to  this  country,  and  here  died  in  1755. 
He  built  the  old  stone  house  in  Hamptonburg.  Orange  Co.,  N.  Y., 
often  mentioned  by  historians  as  the  scene  of  many  noted  events.) 
He  was  born  Dec.  27,  1802,  in  Chester,  N.  \  .  He  married,  Feb.  15, 
1827,  Caroline  Board.      1 27010. 

The  History  of  Orange  County,  N.  \'.,  says  of  him  : 

"His  early  life  was  spent  at  school,  on  his  father's  farm  and  in 
his  father's  grist  mill.  The  year  of  his  marriage  Mr.  Bull  purchased 
92  acres  of  land  of  Thaddeus  Seely  in  Blooming  Grove,  upon  which 
he  settled.  He  afterwards  bought  iiS  acres  of  land  adjoining  his 
original  purchase,  and  in  1S36  he  purchased  198  acres  in  Blooming 
Grove.  On  his  original  purchase  was  an  iron  ore  mine  which,  in 
1864,  he  sold  to  Peter  P.  Parrot,  of  Greenwood.  N.  Y.  Mr.  Bull  fol- 
lowed agricultural  pursuits  during  his  life,  and  was  a  successful 
farmer,  and  an  officer  of  the  Orange  County  Agricultural  Society.  He 
was  one  of  the  original  incorporators  and  stockholders  of  the  Chester 
Bank,  acted  as  its  president  for  a  short  time,  and  was  a  director  in 
its  board  from  its  founding  until  its  death.  He  was  a  man  of  good 
judgment,  and  his  financial  abilities  were  acknowledged  by  business 
men.  Mr.  Bull  was  interested  in  all  that  pertained  to  the  welfare  of 
his  town,  county  and  state,  and  was  looked  upon  as  a  leading  citizen. 
He  became  a  member  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  of  Chester  in  1837, 
and  his  wife  is  (1881)  one  of  the  oldest  living  members  of  that  body. 
For  forty-two  years  he  was  a  manager  of  the  Orange   County   Bible

different  times.  He  was  for  many  years  a  Justice  of  the  Peace,  and 
was  also  commissioner  of  deeds  of  his  town." 

At  the  time  of  his  death  the  Closhen  Democrat  said  : 

Me  was  a  good  citizen  and  a  leading  man,  was  highly  respected 
and  would  be  greatly  missed  in  the  community  in  which  he  lived."

The  History  of  Orange  County,  N.  Y..  by  Ruttenber  &  Clark, 
says  of  him  : 

'•.\t  the  age  of  sixteen  he  went  to  learn  the  tanning  and  currying 
business  at  Washingtonville,  Orange  Co..  N.  Y.,  with  Moses  Ely, 
where  he  remained  until  he  reached  his  majority,  when  he  purchased 
140  acres  of  land  near  his  uncle's,  upon  which  he  resided  until  1850. 
He  was  a  thorough  going  farmer,  and  dealt  considerably  in  cattle, 
and  for  tifteen  years  supplied  West  Point  with  meat.  In  1849  he  was 
selected  to  lake  charge  of  the  Yelverton  estate  at  Chester,  and  in 
1850  removed  to  that  village  and  engaged  in  mercantile  pursuits,  and

1874,  when  he  retired  from  the  more  active  duties  of  Hfe.  Mr.  Board 
was  one  of  the  building  committee  of  the  Chester  Academy  in  1S42 
and  was  one  of  the  board  of  trustees  as  long  as  the  building  was  used 
as  an  academy.  He  sold  the  ground  for  the  Presbyterian  Church  at 
Chester,  it  being  a  part  of  the  Yelverton  estate.  He  has  been  several 
times  selected  as  admmistrator  and  e.\ecutor  of  estates,  and  his 
integrity  remains  unimpaired  in  all  his  business  transactions.  Upon 
the  erection  of  the  town  of  Chester  he  took  an  active  part  and  during 
its  early  history  was  oflicially  connected  with  it.  Mr.  Board  is  a 
plain,  unassuming  man,  who  has  preferred  the  quiet  life  of  a  business 
man  and  farmer  to  place  in  politics."

The  History  of  Orange  Co.,  X.  Y.,  by  E.  M.  Ruttenber  ,!t  L.  H. 
Clark  (1881),  says  of  him  : 

"Young  Heard  was  five  years  old  when  his  mother  came  to 
Goshen.  During  his  boyhood  he  received  a  good  education  in  the 
public  schools  at  Goshen,  but  early  decided  to  live  a  business  life. 
His  uncle,  Anthony  Dobbin,  died,  leaving  no  children,  before  John 


Fourth   Generation.  933 

reached  his  majority,  and  thus  he  was  looked  upon  by  his  aunt  as  the 
only  male  representative  to  take  charge  of  the  larm  after  the  death  of 
her  husband.  A  portion  of  this  farm  is  in  the  corporate  limits  of 
Goshen,  and  now  forms  a  part  of  the  village,  upon  which  substantial 
residences  have  been  built  since  its  ownership  by  Mr.  Heard.  He 
has  spent  his  entire  life  upon  this  farm  since  his  first  settlement  there 
in  181 2,  the  property  coming  to  him  from  his  aunt  and  mother.  In 
1877  he  remodelled  the  old  residence,  adding  a  brick  structure,  and 
now  has  one  of  the  most  substantial  and  pleasant  residences  in 
Goshen.  Although  his  life  has  been  spent  as  a  farmer,  he  has  been 
interested  and  taken  an  active  part  in  most  local  worthy  enterprises 
tending  to  the  prosperity  of  (ioshen  and  the  welfare  of  its  citizens. 
He  was  an  influential  meml^er  for  many  years  of  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  until  the  building  of  the  present 
church  edifice,  when  he  resigned  and  has  been  a  member  of  that 
church  for  thirty  years.  For  several  years  he  was  a  trustee  of  the 
Farmers'  Hall  Academy  at  (ioshen,  and  he  has  always  been  a  pro- 
motor  of  educational  and  religious  interests  in  the  community.  For 
upwards  of  twenty  years  Mr.  Heard  has  been  one  of  the  State  Loan 
Commissioners  for  Orange  County,  and  his  judicious  investment  of 
funds  has  reflected  much  credit  upon  himself  for  his  integrity  and 
safe  counsel  in  tiiese  business  relations.  In  1855  he  was  appointed 
by  the  court,  with  Hon.  James  G.  Graham  and  Beverly  Johnson,  Esq., 
of  Newburgh.  as  commissioners  to  assess  the  damages  to  land-owners 
by  the  laying  out  of  the  Short-Cut  Railway  in  Orange  County.  Also, 
in  1869.  with  Hon.  Homer  A.  Nelson,  then  Secretary  of  State,  and 
Hon.  Charles  W'heaton  both  of  Poughkeepsie,  N.  Y.,  to  assess  like 
damages  on  the  Port  Jervis  and  Monticello  Railroad.  Also,  in 
1870-71,  with  Hon.  S.  W.  Fullerton  and  David  A.  Scott,  Esq.,  both 
of  Newburgh,  10  assess  like  damages  on  the  Poughkeepsie  and  East- 
ern Railroad  in  Dutchess  County.  Also,  in  1869,  with  D.  A.  Scott, 
Esq.,  of  Orange,  and  Hon.  Saxton  Smith  of  Putnam  County,  to 
equalize  the  ta.ves  of  Dutchess  County;  and  also  in  1869-70,  he  was 
appointed  with  D.  A.  Scott,  Esq.,  and  others,  to  assess  damages  by 
laying  out  and  other  street  matters  in  Newburgh.  He  was  Assistant 
United  States  Revenue  Assessor,  1866-9,  President  of  the  Orange 
County  Agricultural  Society  one  term,  and  one  of  the  managing  mem- 
bers many  years  ;  has  been  appointed  by  the  court  as  commissioner

acted  as  executor  and  administrator  for  several  estates,  and  in  all 
these  places  of  trust  and  responsibility  his  integrity  has  remained 
unquestioned."

135126.  Louise  Winlhroj).  Horn  in  New  Orleans.  Student  at  Barnard 
Collej^f  of  Columbia  I'niversity.  She  is  a  member  of  the  Society 
of  I)au>ihters  of  the  American  Revolution.  The  New  York 
Times  in  1897,  said  of  her  :  "Miss  Louise  Winthrop  Koues,  the 
winner  of  the  first  contest  for  the  McLean  scholarship  in  Ameri- 
can history,  offered  by  the  New  York  City  chapter  of  the 
1  )auxhters  of  the  .\nierican  Revolution  to  the  one  of  their  mem- 
bers passing  the  best  examination  on  the  subject,  has  this  past 
week  commenced  her  studies  at  Barnard  College.  Miss  Koues 
is  descended  on  her  father's  side  from  John  Winthrop,  first 
governor  of  Massachusetts  ;  from  Thomas  Dudley,  the  second 
governor,  and  from  Edward  Hilton  the  elder,  the  'Father  of 
New  Hampshire'.  On  her  mother's  side  she  traces  her  ancestry 
to  Johannes  de  la  Montague,  commander-in-chief  of  Manhattan 
L'^land  in  1654,  a  Huguenot  ancestor  ;  to  the  DeForests,  and  to 
the  Bogert,  Bancker,  Codwise,  Kingsland  and  other  early  New 
York  families.  It  was  in  the  fascinating  study  of  family  geol- 
ogy, seeing  that  her  family  tree  grew  straight  and  true,  that 
Miss    Koues   became  specially  interested  in  American  history 


936  History  of  the  Board  Family. 

and  well  posted  in  it.  The  examination  was  conducted  by  Prof. 
Herbert  L.  Osgood  of  Columbia  University,  who  last  June 
mailed  a  list  of  books,  which  would  be  the  basis  of  the  examin- 
ation, to  each  member  of  the  chapter.  Nine  questions  were 
asked  at  the  examinations,  which  took  place  this  month,  and 
the  answers,  which  were  made  in  writing,  were  handed  in  at 
the  end  of  three  hours.  The  questions  were  searching,  extend- 
ing far  back  into  the  history  of  England.  Prof.  Osgood  has 
charge  of  the  course  of  study,  which  is  for  two  years,  and  the 
student  will  receive  a  certificate  at  the  close  if  the  examinations 
are  successfully  passed.  The  course  is  equivalent  to  the  junior 
and  senior  year  in  the  same  study  at  Columbia.  The  scholar- 
ship was  named  for  Mrs.  Donald  McLean,  regent  of  the  New- 
York  city  cha])ter  of  the  Daughters  of  the  .\merican  Revolution, 
as  it  was  founded  at  her  suggestion  "  H:irj)er's  Hazar,  No*'.  19, 
1899,  says  :  "The  first  successful  candidate  for  the  Mrs.  Donald 
McLean  scholarshij)  in  Aujerican  history,  offered  by  the  New 
York  City  Chajjter  of  the  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolu- 
tion, is  Miss  Louise  Winlhroj)  Koues.  Miss  Koues  has  always 
been  a  student  and  lover  of  books,  and  of  late  years  she  has 
devoted  nmch  attention  to  .\merican  history  and  genealogy,  and 
for  this  reasoji,  determined  to  try  for  the  new  scholarship.  She 
believes  the  way  to  become  interested  in  general  history  is  to 
study  family  history — the  two  are  so  closely  connected.  Her 
own  genealogy  is  one  to  interest  others  as  well  as  herself,  as 
she  is  a  lineal  descendant  of  many  notable  men  and  women, 
tracing  her  line  to  titled  and  distinguished  forefathers  on  the 
other  side  of  the  Atlantic,  though  it  is  of  her  early  American 
progenitors  that  she  feels  proud  in  a  quiet,  modest  way.  On 
her  father's  side  she  is  descended  from  Governor  John  W'inthrop 
first  Governor  of  the  Massachusetts  Bay  settlement  in  1630  ; 
also  from  Thomas  Dudley,  second  Governor  of  Massachusetts 
Bay,  whose  eldest  son,  Rev.  Samuel  Dudley,  married  the  only 
daughter  of  Governor  Winthrop.  Their  daughter  married  Ed- 
ward Hilton  the  elder,  who  is  known  as  the  'Father  of  New 
Hampshire,'  being  the  first  settler  in  that  district.  Other  pater- 
nal ancestors  are  Deput}'  Governor  Samuel  Sj'monds  and  his 
noted  wife,  Dorothy  Harlakenden,  of  the  old  English  family  of 
that  name.  On  her  mother's  side  she  goes  back  to  the  first 
settlers  of  Manhattan  Island,  through  the  old  Knickerbocker 
families  of  Bogert,  Bancker,  and  Johannes  de  la  Montaigne,  a 
Huguenot  of  rank,  who  fled  to  Holland  from  the  French  perse- 
cution, and  thence  to  American  shores  where  he  married  Rachel 
de  Forest.  Among  her  Revolutionary  ancestors  are  William

agers of  the  Orange  County  Bible  Society  for  the  town  of  Blooming 
Grove.  Mr.  Howell  is  naturally  of  a  retiring  disposition,  and.  al- 
though interested  in  all  that  pertains  to  the  welfare  of  his  town  and 
county,  has  never  sought  publicity  in  any  way.  He  retains  his  facul- 
ties to  a  remarkable  degree  for  his  age,  and  belongs  to  that  class  of 
men  that  not  only  think  but  act.     He  is  the  last  connecting-link  be-

farmer,  to  which  his  time  and  attention  were  entirely  devoted.  In- 
dustry combined  with  sagacity,  and  a  thorough  knowledge  of  his 
vocation,  speedily  won  for  him  a  marked  success  in  life.  Mr.  Wheeler 
advanced  with  the  age.  All  the  modern  scientific  appliances  which 
are  instrumental  in  subduing  the  soil,  and  otherwise  aiding  the  agri- 
culturist, were  utilized  by  him.  ( )n  the  death  of  his  father  he  became 
the  possessor  of  the  ancestral  estate.  In  politics  he  was  a  Republi- 
can. Ilr  was  a  quiet  unostentatious  gentleman  averse  to  public  life, 
and  consequently  having  no  political  ambitions." 

He  was  one  of  the  original  incorporators  of  the  Warwick  \'alley 
Farmers'  .Milk  Association,  and  of  the  Warwick  Savings  Bank,  hav- 
ing been  a  Trustee  of  the  latter  institution.  His  religious  aftiliations 
were  with  the  Reformed  Dutch  Church,  of  \vhich  he  was  a  cordial 
supporter.  He  was  the  last  survivor  of  his  generation  of  the  family, 
and  justly  regarded  as  among  its  most  worthy  representatives.  He 
died  April  9.  1S76.      Residence.  Warwick,  N.  \.

"Jesse  Owen  came  to  Chemung,  March  11,  1863,  and  with  his 
father  bought  the  'Minniedale'  farm  and  also  a   large  lumber  tract. 


950  History  of  the  Board  Family. 

They  were  both  engaged  in  fanning  and  lumbering  for  many  years. 
Jesse  and  his  son  James  H.  own  the  'Minniedale'  farm,  and  are 
largely  engaged  in  butter  dairying  for  special  New  York  trade.  ( )n 
this  farm  Gen.  Sullivan  found  175  acres  of  corn,  which  he  destroyed 
when  he  made  his  memorable  march  through  the  Chemung  X'alley  in 
1779.  A  few  of  the  barn  holes  where  the  Indians  buried  their  grain 
are  yet  plainly  visible.  ( )ne  of  the  council-houses  of  the  Six  Nations 
was  located  near  where  the  large  barn  is.  a  part  of  which  barn  was 
built  by  Capt.  Daniel  McDowell  before  the  Indians  left,  forty-two  of 
whom  assisted  him  at  the  raising.  The  famous  spring  at  which  C'ap- 
tain  McDowell  and  his  Indian  captors  halted  to  rest,  when  he  was 
being  conveyed  as  a  prisoner  to  Niagara  in  1782,  is  also  on  this 
farm."

"John  .\1.  Board  died  of  paresis  Tuesday  at  his  home  in  Metu- 
chen,  .\.  J.  He  was  .seventy-nine  years  old.  Mr.  Board  was  one  of 
the  few  men  who  had  the  opportunity  to  refuse  a  Presidential  nomi- 
nation.    L'nder  date  of  Feb.  i,  1855,  he  received  the  following  letter  : 

"John  M.  Board:  Dear  Sir — M  a  caucus  at  the  St.  Nicholas 
Hotel,  convened  Feb.  i.  for  the  purpose  of  selecting  certain  persons 
for  candidates  for  President  and  Vice-President  of  the  United  States, 
your  name  was  mentioned  in  a  favorable  light.  Should  you  think  it 
proper  to  have  your  name  used  as  the  next  Whig  candidate  for  that 
high  office,  please  inform  me  at  the  earliest  moment. 

"I  am  yours  truly, 

•'Thomas  Ritchings. 

"Mr.  Board  was  informed  that  he  could  have  the  nomination. 
He  decided  not  to  accept.  He  was  more  of  a  philanthropist  than  a 
politician,  though  for  many  years  he  was  a  Republican  leader  in  New 
Jersey.      He  was  a  close  friend  of  Horace  Greeley. 

"Born  in  Pompton  Plains,  he  engaged  in  the  real  estate  business. 
Afterwards  he  became  a  contractor  in  Hoboken.  In  1854  he  went 
to  the  Assembly.  In  1868  he  removed  to  Metuchen,  and  to  abolish 
toll  on  the  bridge  across  the   Raritan   River  at   New    Brunswick  he

defrayed  the  expenses  of  maintaining  the  thoroughfare.  He  equipped 
men  for  the  front  when  the  war  began,  and  aided  their  famiUes  dur- 
ing their  absence. 

"Mr.  Board  was  proud  of  the  fact  that  he  was  master  of  every 
musical  instrument  in  general  use.  He  was  associated  with  the  lead- 
ing musical  societies  of  New  York,  and  was  once  organist  and  choir 
leader  of  the  old  North  Dutch  Church  in  Kulton  street.  He  had 
been  Chief  Engineer  of  the  Hoboken  Fire  Department.  Under-Sheriff 
of  Hudson  County,  President  of  the  Widows"  and  Orphans'  Fund  and 
of  the  Exempt  Firemen's  Association.     M  one  time  he  was  wealthy. 

"Four  children  survive  him — Mrs.  William  \'enable,  of  New 
York;  Miss  Mary  Board,  of  Metuchen  ;  Lewis  Board,  of  New  Bruns- 
wick, and  John  Board,  of  Jersey  City.  Funeral  services  will  be  held 
in  the  First  Reformed  Church  of  .Metuchen  on  Sunday  at  2  v.  m.

"A  New  Jersey  woman  is  the  head  of  a  Klondike  expedition 
which  left  on  the  Baltimore  &  Ohio  railroad  today.  She  is  a  Black 
Hills  miner  and  her  name  is  Mary  W.  Board.  The  expedition  is  for 
the  Copper  River,  where  she  expects  to  establish  a  colony  near  Osca, 
a  Russian  settlement.  Miss  Board  will  probably  name  her  colony 
"Jersey,"  as  she  was  born  in  Hoboken  and  has  lived  for  many  years 
at  Metuchen. 

'•Miss  Board  has  been  mining  for  about  ten  years  in  the  Black 
Hills,  but  stopped  operations  last  year  on  account  of  a  scarcity  of 
funds.     Her  object  in  going  to  Klondike  is  to  obtain  sufficient  means

with  which  to  carry  on  somewhat  extensive  operations  in  her  Black 
Hills  mines.  Miss  Board  has  outfitted  her  expedition  of  men  and 
women  for  S450  each.  Her  contract  includes  food,  clothing  and 
simple  mining  machinery  for  a  year.  She  is  an  intrepid  woman 
about  forty  years  old,  who  long  ago  gained  a  reputation  for  locating 
quartz  and  placer  mines.  Her  faith  centres  in  the  Copper  River, 
which,  she  declares,  is  rich  in  gold.  There  are  several  trained  nurses 
in  Miss  Board's  expedition,  and  other  women,  all  of  whom,  she  says, 
are  quite  as  plucky  and  determined  as  the  men. 

''Miss  Board  has  done  the  work  of  a  lawyer  in  this  city  and  New 
Jersey,  although  when  she  applied  for  admission  to  the  Bar  she  was 
refused.  She  has  never  again  asked  for  admission,  but  has  prepared 
many  important  cases  which  have  been  heard  in  the  courts.  Her 
first  trip  to  the  Black  Hills  was  made  in  the  interest  of  a  famous  min- 
ing suit.  She  is  the  daughter  of  the  late  John  M.  Board,  who  refused 
the  Whig  nomination  for  President  in  1855.  Mr.  Hf)ard  was  an  inti- 
mate friend  of  Horace  Greeley."

A  ^'HI  :s    TT I  STORY. 


This  family  name  had  a  curious  origin  as  is  attested  by  ancient 
legend  and  chronicle.  It  came  from  no  less  a  personage  than  Will- 
iam, the  Conqueror,  of  Kngland.  There  was  a  battle  raging  and 
William  had  a  good  many  of  them  in  which  he  took  a  personal  hand 
himself.  In  this  one  some  mailed  warrior  hit  him  a  blow  on  his  hel- 
met and  crushed  it  on  his  head  and  gave  him  great  pain.  His  assail- 
ants were  driven  off  and  the  first  of  his  attendants  to  reach  his  side 
(juickly  loosened  his  helmet,  and  relieved  him  of  the  cruel  pressure 
of  the  iron.  William  asked  his  name.  "Truelove,"  was  the  reply. 
"Thou  shall  be  from  Truelove  called  Eyer,"  said  William,  "for  thou 
hast  given  me  to  breathe  the  pure  air  of  heaven."

He  married  Hannah.  He  came  from  England  to  Newbury,  Mass., 
in  i('^^.  His  will  was  proved  Oct.  6,  1657.  (Reg  \T.  207),  and  in 
1692  his  widow,  Hannah,  deeds  land  to  son  Robert,  and  was  joined 
by  children,  John  of  Ipswich,  Peter  and  Nathaniel  of  Haverhill. 
This  shows  conclusively  that  John,  Sr.,  had  a  son  John  (not  the 
Hrooklield  Capt.  John  who  was  killed  in  1675),  who  was  living  in 
I  792.  The  records  show  this  also  by  giving  his  marriages  and  issue.

Nathaniel^  Moses*,  John',  Obadiah',  John'.)  180001.  He  was  born 
December  19.  iSii.  in  Ulysses,  Tompkins  Co..  N.  V.  He  married, 
in  1838  Co.  1839),  by  Rev.  John  P.  Hudson.  Cordelia  Derby  (daugh- 
ter of  Reuben  and  Abigail  Derby  of  Williamsport  Pa.j. 

At  the  time  of  his  death  a  Williamsport  newspaper  said  : 

"Captain  J.  Jeffrey  Ayres  was  born  in  the  town  of  I'lysses, 
Tompkins  County,  N.  \  ..  December,  iSii.  He  was  married  in  this 
city  in  1839,  to  Miss  Cordelia  Derby,  daughter  of  Mr.  Reuben  Derby, 
the  officiating  clergyman  being  Rev.  John  P.  Hudson.  He  resided 
in  Ithaca  till  1841,  when  he  came  to  Williamsport  to  locate  perma- 
nently. A  complete  history  of  his  early  business  career  in  this  city 
appeared  in  the  Gazette  and  Bulletin  in  the  spring  of  1870.  and  as  it 
was  obtained  direct  from  his  own  lips  it  can  be  relied  upon  as  being 
strictly  correct. 

"It  states  that  as  early  as  1842  he  commenced  the  sale  of  books 
and  stationery  in  a  building  erected  by  Messrs.  Fullmer  &  Slate,  on 
the  corner  now  occupied  by  Ulman's  (^pera  House,  which  was  burned 
in  1866.  In  1845,  soon  after  the  commencement  of  President  Polk's 
administration,  he  was  appointed  postmaster,  and  served  in  that 
capacity  four  years.  During  that  period  he  carried  on  his  regular 
business  in  connection  with  the  postoffice.  On  leaving  the  office  in 
1849,  he  disposed  of  his  bookstore  to  Mr.  Flint,  for  the  purpose  of 
devoting  his  attention  more  closely  to  the  Lycoming  Mutual  Insur- 
ance Company,  the  agency  of  which  he  had  received  as  early  as  1846. 
He  was  the  first  local  agent  for  that  company  in  this  place,  and  laid 
the  foundation  for  a  permanent  business,  which  amounted  to  over 
$2,000,000    insured    in    1868.     His    connection  with  this    company 


Eighth   Generation.  985 

ceased  in  1869,  being  superseded  by  Henry  \V.  Watson,  Esq.  He 
remained  out  of  the  book  trade  till  October,  1851,  when  he  again 
embarked  in  it  in  connection  with  Messrs.  Anthony  &  Jones,  and 
they  carried  on  business  in  the  building  opposite  the  old  United 
States  Hotel,  now  the  First  National  Bank  building.  In  the  course 
of  time  both  the  senior  members  retired,  and  the  Captain  became 
sole  proprietor.  His  establishment  rapidly  grew  in  favor  with  the 
jniblic,  and  became  a  place  of  great  resort  by  all  those  seeking  the 
news  and  current  literature  of  the  day.  Many  pleasing  associations 
cluster  around  the  memory  of  the  'old  place'  under  the  proprietorship 
of  the  Captain. 

•In  March,  1862.  Mr.  .\.  1).  Lundy,  his  son-in-law,  became  asso- 
ciated witli  him  in  business,  under  the  firm  of  Ayres  &  Lundy.  In 
1866  they  purchased  the  property  on  Kast  Third  street,  of  Mr.  C.  B. 
Bowman,  where  the  book  store  and  postofHce  are  now  located.  In 
April,  18O7,  the  Captain  was  again  appointed  postmaster  and  con- 
firmed by  the  senate,  after  numerous  other  nominees  had  been 
rejected.  This  last  appointment  he  held  up  to  the  commencement 
of  the  administration  of  General  Grant.  The  Captain  often  face- 
tiously remarked  that,  notwithstanding  he  was  a  military  man  himself, 
having  been  appointed  Captain  of  Company  A.  163d  Regiment  New 
York  Militia,  as  early  as  1836,  by  Governor  Marcy,  when  he  was  a 
resident  of  Tompkins  County,  such  men  as  (ienerals  Taylor  and 
Grant  failed  to  appreciate  his  services  and  removed  him  from  office. 

"Soon  after  receiving  his  last  appointment,  the  idea  was  formed 
of  erecting  a  suitable  building  for  a  postoffice,  something  that  the 
city  stood  greatly  in  need  of.  Through  his  energy  the  people  of 
W'illiamsport  are  indebted  for  the  present  postoftice,  which  is  ac- 
knowledged to  be  inferior  to  no  other  in  the  country,  so  far  as  con- 
venience is  concerned.  Since  its  erection  the  postoffices  of  Lock 
Haven.  Scranton,  Westchester  and  several  other  places  have  been 
modeled  after  his  design. 

"On  the  first  of  April,  1870,  Messrs.  Ayres  &:  Lundy  sold  out 
their  book,  paper  and  stationery  business  to  Mr.  A.  J.  Weise,  to  give 
their  entire  attention  to  the  insurance  business,  which  was  a  v^ery 
extensive  one.  A  few  months  later,  however,  they  were  compelled  to 
resume  the  book  and  stationery  business  at  the  old  stand,  owing  to 
Mr.  Weise  not  being  able  to  fulfill  his  promises  to  them.     The  busi-

ness  was  then  carried  on  under  the  old  tirm  until  a  few  months  ago, 

when  Captain  Ayres  retired  into  private  life,  leaving  both  the  book 

and   insurance  business   in   the  hands  of  his  son-in-law,   Mr.  A.  D. 

Lundy. 

"In  the  death  of  Captain  J.  JetYrey  Ayres.  W'illiamsport  has  lost 

one  of  its  most  worthy  and  highly  esteemed  citizens.  Mr.  Ayres 
was  not  simply  an  ordinary  man — one  that  can  pass  away  from  this 
earth  and  not  be  missed  by  those  he  leaves  behind  him.  for  he  was 
one  of  those  men  who  strive  to  make  themselves  of  some  use  in  this 
world.  He  was  an  earnest  Christian  worker  and  as  one  of  the  trus- 
tees of  the  Second  Presbyterian  Church,  this  city,  of  which  lie  became 
a  member  February  17,  1842,  by  certificate  from  his  church  in  Ithaca, 
N.  Y.,  no  man  could  have  displayed  better  ability  for  the  position. 
It  was  a  'labor  of  love'  to  him,  as  nothing  so  cheered  his  heart  as  the 
finding  of  an  opportunity  to  be  of  some  benefit  to  the  church,  either 
through  work  or  from  his  purse,  for  he  was  very  liberal  and  gave  not 
grudgingly.  His  disposition  was  a  cheerful  one,  and  it  was  a  rare 
thing  to  find  him  unprepared  with  a  joke  or  some  lively  and  enter- 
taining remarks — in  fact,  there  were  very  few  better  and  more  enter- 
taining conversationalists  than  Captain  Ayres  ;  he  was  a  close  reader 
and  a  vigilant  watcher  of  what  was  transpiring  at  home  and  abroad  ; 
no  matter  what  the  subject  of  conversation  might  be  he  seemed  to 
possess  sufficient  knowledge  of  it  to  entitle  him  to  a  respectful  hear- 
ing. In  brief,  Williamsport  has  lost  a  useful  citizen — one  whose 
absence  will  be  missed  and  sincerely  mourned." 

At  the  time  of  her  death  a  W'illiamsport  newspaper  said  : 

"Mrs.  Cordelia  D.  Ayres,  of  this  city,  died  at  about  1 2  o'clock 
Saturday.  Her  illness  was  of  three  years'  duration.  Three  years 
ago  she  was  traveling  in  Europe  and  in  crossing  the  English  channel 
was  seized  with  a  severe  nausea,  from  the  effects  of  which  she  never 
entirely  recovered.  From  that  time  she  began  to  fail  and  her 
strength  decreased  gradually  until  finally,  Saturday,  her  frail  hold  on 
mortal  life  was  loosened  and  her  spirit  passed  into  eternity.  She  was 
about  73  years  of  age. 

"The  deceased  was,  before  her  marriage,  Miss  Cordelia  Derby. 
She  was  the  daughter  of  Reuben  and  Abigail  Derby,  who  came  to 
this  city  from  New  York  state  in  1834.  In  1838  she  was  married  to 
Jeffrey  J.  Ayres.     Mr.  and  Mrs.  Ayres  lived  two  years  in   Ithaca,  N. 


Eighth   Generation.  987 

Y.,  whence  they  returned  to  WiUiamsport  in  1840.  Mr.  Ayres 
opened  the  first  book  and  stationer)-  store  in  the  city,  an  establish- 
ment which  is  still  in  existence.  He  served  two  terms  as  postmaster 
of  the  city.  Mr.  Ayres  died  August  24.  1880.  His  high  character, 
consistency  and  decided  personality  are  pleasantly  remembered  by 
all  the  older  citizens  of  the  city.  Both  of  Mrs.  Ayres'  parents  died 
here. 

"Mrs.  Ayres  was  a  lady  of  true  piety  and  of  mental  and  moral 
worth.  She  was  a  useful  member  of  the  Second  Presbyterian  Church, 
and  extended  her  infiuence,  so  far  as  health  would  permit,  into  the 
various  charitable  avenues  of  service  for  which  the  ladies  of  Williams- 
port  are  so  well  known.  Only  two  weeks  ago  she  was  again  chosen 
vice-president  of  the  home  for  the  friendless,  a  position  which  she 
had  filled  very  ably  several  successive  terms.  She  also  gave  great 
attention  to  Sunday  .school  matters  and  was  a  thorough  Bible  scholar, 
so  much  so  that  she  was  a  recognized  authority." 

He  died  .\ug.  24,  1880.  She  died  Feb.  11,  several  years  after 
her  husband,  aged  about  seventy-three  years.  Residence,  \\'i!liams-

988  History  of  the  Ayres  Family. 

At  the  time  of  his  death  the  Elniira  Evening  Star  said  : 

"Of  Mr.  Ayres,  Ausborn  Towner,  in  his  biographical  sketches, 
says : 

"  'Some  allusion  has  already  been  made  to  this  citizen  of  Klmira, 
one  of  its  old  time  merchants,  his  name  appearing  conspicuously  in 
the  records  of  the  First  M.  E.  Church,  to  which  he  has  had  a  life 
long  attachment,  and  of  which  he  has  always  been  a  zealous  and  con- 
scientious supporter,  and  in  the  village  official  position  that  he  has 
tilled  with  credit  to  himself  and  satisfaction  to  the  community.  His 
family  name  had  a  curious  origin,  as  is  attested  by  ancient  legend 
and  chronicle.  It  came  from  no  less  personage  than  William,  the 
Conqueror,  of  England,  himself.  There  was  a  battle  raging  and 
William  had  a  good  many  of  them  in  which  he  took  a  personal  hand 
himself.  In  this  one  some  mailed  warrior  hit  him  a  blow  on  his  hel- 
met that  crushed  it  in  on  his  head  and  gave  him  a  great  pain.  His 
assailants  were  driven  off  and  the  first  of  his  attendants  to  reach  his 
side  quickly  loosened  his  helmet  and  relieved  him  of  the  cruel  pres- 
sure of  the  iron.  William  asked  his  name.  'Truelove,'  was  the  re- 
ply. 'Thou  shall  be  from  Truelove  called  Eyer.'  said  William,  'for 
thou  hast  given  me  to  breathe  again  the  pure  air  of  heaven.' 

"Mr.  Ayres'  branch  from  the  family  coming  down  the  original 
Ayr  is  one  that  can  be  traced  back  clearly  and  without  a  break  for 
300  years.  There  was  a  John  Ayres  or  Ayre,  born  in  England  in 
1590,  in  Wiltshire,  where  the  seat  of  the  original  Eyre  was  located. 
The  family  there  then  was  a  large  and  strong  one.  This  John  Ayre 
came  to  America  in  1636,  and  that  same  year  there  was  born  to  him 
a  son  who  was  named  Obediah. 

"The  line  is  traced  more  than  a  century  and  the  author  con- 
tinues : 

"  'The  last  named  son,  Nathaniel,  born  in  17S7,  was  the  father  of 
Socrates  Ayres,  who  was  born  in  Ulysses,  Tompkins  County,  New 
York,  October  14,  18 14.  The  mother  of  Socrates  Ayres  was  Lucretia 
Beckwith,  who  was  born  on  November  7,  1792,  and  was  married  to 
Nathaniel  Ayres  October  28,   18 13. 

"  'Nathaniel  and  Lucretia  Ayres,  both  inheriting  some  of  the  best 
blood  of  this  country,  lived  and  died  on  their  farm  near  Trumans- 
burg,  N.  Y.  Their  son,  Socrates,  remained  on  the  same  place  until 
he  was  seventeen  years  of  age,  which  was  in  the  year  1831.     He  was 


Eighth   Generation.  989 

then  apprenticed  to  a  jeweler  for  a  term  of  four  years.  He  com- 
pleted his  apprenticeship  and  attained  his  majority  in  the  same  year 
and  coming  to  Klmira,  entered  upon  the  chosen  business  of  his  life. 
His  health  suffered  somewhat  from  close  attention  to  his  affairs  and 
after  a  year  and  a  half  in  Elmira  he  returned  to  his  father's  farm  for 
six  months  to  recuperate.  With  repaired  strength  in  the  fall  of  1S37 
he  opened  a  place  of  business  in  Penn  Yan,  remaining  there  until 
August,  when  he  once  more  took  up  his  residence  in  Klmira,  not 
again  to  leave  it.  He  purchased  the  business  of  Francis  Colling- 
wood.  Including  his  apprenticeship  his  active  business  life  extended 
over  a  period  of  sixty  years.  His  place  of  business  on  the  eastern 
side  of  the  Water  .street  end  of  Lake  street  bridge  was  for  thirty 
years  under  his  control,  and  so  conspicuous  in  many  ways  that  the 
older  residents  of  the  city  even  now  refer  to  the  spot  as  'Ayres' 
corner'. 

• 'lie  was  one  of  the  earliest  insurance  agents  that  established 
that  line  of  business  in  the  valley,  having  always  and  retaining  to 
this  day  companies  on  his  list  of  the  highest  standirig.' 

•Mr.  .\yres  also  did  business  on  the  south  side  of  Water  street 
l)eiwcen  Baldwin  and  Lake.  .About  twelve  years  ago  he  located  on 
West  Water  street  near  Main. 

"Mr.  Ayres  was  politically  a  man  of  strong  convictions,  but 
(|uiet  and  never  .sought  public  office.  He  was  at  one  time  treasurer 
of  the  village,  but  shrank  from  the  contentions  of  elective  positions. 
He  was  originally  a  Democrat,  but  became  one  of  the  first  Republi- 
cans voting  for  John  C.  Fremont  in  1856.  He  retained  this  political 
affiliation  to  his  death. 

"The  deceased  was  the  oldest  member  of  the  First  Methodist 
Church  and  since  his  coming  to  Klmira  sixty-two  years  ago,  has  been 
connected  prominently  with  its  work.  His  official  relations  cover  a 
period  of  many  years  and  only  with  advancing  age  was  his  activity 
lessened.  His  co-workers  were  among  the  strong  men  of  the  past, 
such  men  as  Dr.  Hollis  S.  Chubbuck.  Klias  Huntley,  William  Viall, 
John  K.  Perry,  William  Foster  and  many  another  long  since  rewarded. 

"To  the  church  Mr.  Ayres  and  his  faithful,  devoted  wife,  brought 
their  infant  children  for  baptismal  consecration  and  in  them  reared 
those  children  according  to  the  precepts  of  the  Holy  Scriptures.  Mrs. 
Houghton,  their  only  daughter,  is  the  wife  of  a  prominent  Methodist 


99°  History  of  the  Avrf.s  Family. 

clergyman,  and  the  Methodist  church  here  and  elsewhere  has  known 
the  influence  of  this  early  Methodist  home.  When  the  Ayres  family 
began  their  life  in  this  community  the  church  was  comparatively 
primitive.  But  the  young  life  of  such  families  as  that  of  Mr.  Ayres 
wrought  strength  and  progress  in  their  faithful  services.  Those  were 
the  days  when  the  wives  opened  their  houses  to  the  social  life  of  the 
church  and  when  the  thimble  and  needle  wrought  in  the  cause.  And 
the  Ayres  home  was  open  to  any  demand  and  its  maker  and  keeper 
untiring. 

"Mr.  Ayres  was  a  man  of  most  gentle  manners,  quiet  and  refined 
in  appearance  and  courteous  to  all.  In  prosperity  or  adversity,  joy 
or  afiliction,  his  bearing  was  marked  by  calmness  and  dignity.  He 
bore  with  patient  fortitude  the  losses  the  years  brought  him  of  friends 
and  physical  strength,  and  to  the  last  exemplified  the  nature  that  can 
uncomplainingly  endure. 

"The  death  of  Mr.  Ayres  practically  clo.ses  a  family  history  that 
has  been  interwoven  with  business,  social,  philanthropic  and  religious 
life  in  this  city.  His  children  can  bear  in  their  lives  the  fruits  of 
such  home  care  and  instruction  as  they  have  known,  but  not  in  the 
unity  of  household  aims  as  when  they  who  were  its  head  were  here. 
Other  homes,  other  endeavors,  other  service,  but  not  the  same.  Yet 
the  memories  and  influence  of  the  past  are  beyond  the  power  of  death." 

The  Elmira  Telegram  said  : 

"Elmira  was  called  upon  yesterday  to  mourn  the  loss  of  one  of 
her  oldest  and  most  respected  citizens.  Socrates  Ayres,  who  for 
many  years  had  resided  at  No.  320  Lake  street,  after  a  long  life, 
quietly  passed  away  at  his  home  yesterday  morning  about  10  o'clock. 

"Mr.  Ayres  was  born  near  Trumansburg,  on  his  father's  farm, 
in  18 1 4.  He  remained  there  until  seventeen  years  of  age,  and  then 
spent  four  years  as  an  apprentice  to  a  jeweler  during  which  time  he 
thoroughly  learned  the  business  of  a  watchmaker  and  jeweler.  At 
the  age  of  twenty-one  he  came  to  Elmira  and  embarked  in  his  chosen 
business.  After  a  year  and  a  half,  owing  to  ill  health,  he  was  forced 
to  return  to  his  father's  farm,  to  regain  his  strength.  Later,  in  the 
fall  of  1837,  he  opened  a  jewelry  business  in  Penn  Yan,  where  he 
remained  until  1844.  He  then  came  to  Elmira  again,  and  had  re- 
sided here  ever  since.     For  over  thirty  years  he  conducted  a  good 


Eighth   Generation.  991 

business  at  what  is  now  the  corner  of  Lake  and  Water  streets,  and 
including  his  apprenticeship,  Mr.  Ayres's  active  business  life  ex- 
tended over  a  period  of  sixty  years.  His  store  became  so  well 
known  that  the  older  residents  still  speak  of  the  location  as  'Ayres's 
corner".  It  was  robbed  on  one  or  two  occasions,  and  also  injured  by 
fire,  but  through  misfortunes  and  reverses,  Mr.  Ayres  kept  on  the 
even  tenor  of  his  way,  always  meeting  his  engagements  and  making 
a  record  for  integrity  and  manliness  unsurpassed  by  any  citizen  of 
Klmira. 

"Mr.  Ayres  was  one  of  the  first  insurance  agents  in  this  part  of 

the  country,  and  always  retained  the  companies  of  the  very  highest 

standing  on  his  list.     It   is  worthy  of   remark  that   with    Mr.  Ayres 

there  began  tlieir  business  life  a  number  of  young  men   who,  if  not 

eminently  successful  always,  have  shown  in  their  business  careers  the 

effect  of  an  elevated  example  set  by  their  employer.     Among  these 

may  be  named  Samuel  H.   Taylor  and  Henry   K.  Drake,  the  latter  of 

whom  while  in   business  manifested  the  possession  of  an  exquisite 

taste  and  judgment  that  if  continued  should  have  placed  him  at  the 

head  of  dealers  in  his  line.      It  is  to  be  said  also  that  Buren  R.  Sher- 

nian.  who  afterwards  became  governor  of  the  state  of  Iowa,  was  an 

apprentice  to  Mr.  Ayres  in  the  mystery  and  art  of  the  jewelers'  and 

watchmakers'  trade.     After  moving  from  the  corner  described.  Mr. 

Ayres  was  for  ten   years  located  on  the  south   side  of  Water  street, 

midway  between  Lake  and  Baldwin  streets,  and  from  there,  with   his 

son   joined    with    him   in    business,  went  west   of    Railroad   avenue, 

where  he  remained  until  forced  to  give  up  active  business  when   he 

retired,    his  son   continuing   in   the  business.      .Mr.    Ayres   in    1841, 

while   living   in    Penn   \'an.  was  married   to   Miss   Susan    Harris,    a 

(laughter  of  Seth  Harris,  of  Pine  Plains,  who  was  the  manufacturer 

of  the  famous  Harris  scythes.     Six  children  were  the  result  of  their 

union.     There  came  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Ayres  on  May  30,  1891,  an  event 

that  seldom  touches  the  lives  of  persons  of  this  age.     They  celebrated 

the  golden  anniversary  of  their  wedding  day,  and  the  manifestations  of 

pleasure  and  congratulation   made  by  their  numerous  friends  were 

such  that  could  have  followed  a  half  century  of  united  lives  that  shed 

happiness  wherever  their  influence  fell  and  indicated  a  continuance 

of   peace  and  contentment  for  the  long  period  that  are   as   delightful 

as  they  are  unusual  to  contemplate.     Mr.  Ayres  for  more  than  sixty

years  has  been  a  member  of  the  Methodist  Church,  sincere  in  his 
regard  for  its  beUefs,  conscientious  in  all  of  the  observances  it  pre- 
scribes, bringing  up  his  children  'in  the  fear  and  admonition  of  the 
Lord,'  and  liberal  toward  the  support  of  the  society  that  upheld  the 
tenets  and  obligations  to  which  he  has  been  attached.  \'ery  soon 
after  he  came  to  Elmira  he  was  made  an  ©facial  of  what  has  since 
become  the  First  Methodist  Church,  and  in  one  capacity  or  another 
he  has  served  that  organization  for  about  fifty  years.  His  death  is  a 
source  of  deep  regret  to  all,  though  it  was  but  the  peaceful  ending  of 
a  well-spent  life." 

At  the  time  of  her  death  the  Elmira  Advertiser  said  : 

"A  large  circle  of  acc|uaintances  will  learn  with  feelings  of  regret 
and  sadness  of  the  death  of  Mrs.  Socrates  Ayres  which  occurred  at 
her  home  yesterday  morning. 

"This  much  respected  woman  had  been  for  many  years  a  resi- 
dent of  the  city  of  Elmira  and  had  been  as  highly  esteemed  as  she 
had  been  widely  known.  Just  as  Good  Friday  was  dawning,  death, 
an  expected  and  not  unwelcome  visitant,  released  her  waiting  spirit 
and  she  entered  into  rest.  She  had  lived  for  nearly  four  score  years 
and  all  the  long  pathway  of  her  life  had  been  brightened  by  the 
sweet  affections  of  home  and  friends  and  by  that  charity  which  decks 
with  rarest  beauty  the  quiet  spots  of  private  life.  Her  lengthening 
years  led  her  not  to  doubt  and  gloom,  but  heavenward  to  the  sunny 
uplands  of  a  restful  trust.  Hers  was  the  unfailing  faith  that  shines 
amid  all  the  natural  infirmities  of  age  and  gilds  with  the  serenest  rays 
the  sunset  hours  of  life.  The  poet  Addison  sent  for  a  friend  to  come 
to  his  beside,  and  see  how  a  Christian  died.  It  was  the  pious  boast 
of  Wesley,  the  founder  of  the  sect  of  which  Mrs.  Ayres  was  so  long  a 
a  prominent  and  useful  member,  that  'our  people  die  well'.  Thus 
closed  this  good  woman's  life.  She  bore  with  fortitude  and  resigna- 
tion the  sufferings  of  her  final  illness,  and  saw  the  end  approach,  as 
one  whose  'soul  is  stayed  in  perfect  peace'.  For  several  days  she 
lay  in  unconsciousness,  but  on  Sunday  evening  she  awoke  from  this 
state,  with  faculties  clearly  recognizing  the  nearness  of  the  other 
world,  she  called  her  family  to  her  bedside  and  bade  each  a  separate 
farewell  with  words  of  comfort  and  counsel — a  scene  beautiful  and 
touching — faith  triumphant  in  the  valley  of  the  shadow  of  death. 


Eighth   Generation.  993 

"Mrs.  Susan  Harris  Ayres  was  born  Oct.  19,  1815.  at  Pine 
Plains,  Dutchess  County,  N.  Y..  and  belonged  to  a  family  of  high 
distinction  and  social  prominence  in  early  American  history.  She 
married  Socrates  Ayres  while  residing  in  Penn  Van,  May  30,  1841, 
from  which  place  she  came  with  her  husband  to  Elmira  in  1844, 
where  they  have  spent  nearly  half  a  centur)'  in  a  life  of  domestic  hap- 
piness and  pleasant  social  relations,  rich  in  many  years,  in  good 
deeds,  and  in  the  love  and  repect  of  a  whole  community.  Mrs.  Ayres 
is  survived  by  her  husband.  Socrates  Ayres,  Susan,  her  daughter, 
wife  of  Rev.  Oscar  A.  Houghton.  D.D.L.  of  Syracuse,  William  Emmet 
Ayres  of  Syracuse,  and  Frederick  .S.  Ayres  of  Klmira.  her  sons.  To 
these  immediate  relatives,  and  other  familiar  friends  who  deeply  share 
with  them  in  their  bereavement,  there  will  not  fail  to  go  forth  the 
sympathies  of  a  wide  circle  of  accjuaintances.  For  the  death  of  Mrs. 
Ayres  awakens  in  many  a  mind  tender  reminiscences  of  dear  ones 
who  in  days  long  ago  went  in  the  same  ways  of  duty  and  'took  sweet 
counsel  together'.  How  true  it  is  that  the  place  where  the  living 
come  nearest  together  is  where  they  gather  by  the  graves  of  their 
dead. 

"For  nearly  rtfty  years,  Mrs.  Ayres  was  an  active  and  most  use- 
ful member  of  the  First  Methodist  Church  of  this  city,  and  was  to 
the  last  a  generous  and  laborious  supporter  of  the  religious  and 
benevolent  activities  of  the  society.  Should  some  future  local  his- 
torian describe  justly  the  work  that  the  Christian  women  of  Elmira 
have  done  for  the  alleviation  of  sorrow  and  the  reformation  of  the 
erring,  and  trace  the  pathways  of  domestic  and  churchly  duties  in 
which  so  many  of  them  have  gone  on  errands  of  mercy  and  love, 
what  a  record  of  faithful  living  would  the  recital  make  !  In  such  a 
history  of  this  city,  this  good  woman's  name  would  merit  an  honored 
place.  All  who  knew  her  know  that  her  greatest  desire  was  to  make 
her  life  do  something  to  lessen  the  evil  of  earth  and  increase  its 
good.  The  readers  of  this  paper  know,  generally,  the  heroic  struggle 
made  for  years  by  the  members  of  the  congregation  to  which  Mrs. 
Ayres  belonged.  In  those  struggles,  the  work  done  by  the  women  of 
the  society  was  such  as  brought  their  money,  talents,  time  and  ener- 
gies under  constant  contribution  to  the  needs  of  the  church.  One 
generation  of  women  put  unstintingly  their  best  powers  into  the  ef- 
forts to  save  the  church  from  financial  failure.     The  history  of  that

sacrifice  will  never  be  written,  but  at  this  time   ii  is   fitting  to  pay 

tribute  to  the  untiring  energy  and  unwearied  devotion  of  these  noble 

women,  among   whom,  it  is  no  disparagement  to  say.  Mrs.  Ayres  was 

a  trusted  leader  in  devising  and  executing  plans  of  religious  activity. 

But  her  efforts  for  good  were  far  from  being  limited  to  this  field  of 

usefulness.     Wherever  womanly  work,  done  in  womanly  ways,  counts 

for  good  her  inriuence  was  felt.     She  did  what  she  could — and  that 

was  much.     So  her  name  will  be  often  on  the  lips  and  her  memory 

will  long  be  precious  in  the  hearts  of  those  who  knew  best — a  devoted 

wife,,  a  loving  mother,  a  kind  neighbor,  and  a  faithful  Christian.    The 

funeral  will  be  held  at  the  family  residence,  320  Lake  street.  Monday, 

April  3,  at  three  o'clock  in  the  afternoon.      Interment  will  be  at  the 

convenience  of  the  family.      No  odor  of  fairest  Mowers  is  sweeter  than 

the  fragrant  memory  of  such  a  pure  and  holy  life.

.Schuyler  County,  N.  V.  He  graduated  at  (ienesee  College.  He 
married  Lucretia  .Ayres.  180008.  State  Senator  in  Kansas.  Col-

souri Constitutional  Convention.     Judge  of  Platte  Countv. 

.\t  ilie  lime  of  his  death  a  Leavenworth  daily  newspaper  said  : 

"Judge  Aller's  devotion  to  duty  was  almost  remarkable.  \\  hen 
hardly  able  to  stand  alone  he  did  not  shrink  from  the  labors  of  his 
official  position.  On  Saturday  morning  he  rode  in  a  carriage  to  the 
walk  leading  from  Fifth  street  to  the  city  jail  and  with  assistance 
walked  from  there  to  the  court  room.  He  held  court,  and  although 
his  voice  was  weak  his  decisions  were  clearly  and  concisely  given. 
.\fter  court  he  visited  the  office  of  the  chief  of  police  at  headquarters 
where  he  received  his  check  for  December  salary  and  before  handing 
it  to  his  son  Henry,  who  was  present,  endorsed  it  with  an  apparently 
steady  hand.  .\  gentleman  present  suggested  to  him  that  it  would 
be  better  for  him  to  remain  at  home  and  not  try  to  attend  to  his 
court  duties  until  he  got  stronger.  He  replied  that  it  made  him  feel 
stronger  afterwards  to  get  out  and  stir  around  in  the  open  air.  He 
got  in  his  carriage  shortly  afterward  and  was  taken  home,  accom- 
panied by  his  son.     That  was  his  last  visit  to  police  headquarters. 

"On  Sunday  afternoon  Justice  Johnson  was  requested  to  take 
his  place  on  the  bench  on  Monday,  and  on  Monday  afternoon  the 
faithful  police  judge  was  dead.  He  passed  away  without  apparent 
pain,  surrounded  by  his  wife  and  children.  The  sad  news  was  soon 
spread  throughout  the  city  and  many  were  the  expressions  of  genuine 
sorrow  and  regret ;  for  whatever  his  faults,  Judge  Aller  was  generous 
and  'good-hearted'  and  the  people  thought  much  of  him. 

"Henry  M.  Aller  w-as  born   in   Schuyler   County,  New  York,  in

1827,  and  was  therefore  in  his  70th  year.  While  a  boy  he  worked 
on  a  farm  and  in  a  tannery.  At  the  age  of  seventeen  he  taught 
school,  and  later  attended  Genesee  College,  from  which  he  was 
graduated  with  the  degree  of  A.M.  After  leaving  college  he  taught 
school  at  Elmira  and  founded  the  Aller  Academy  at  that  place. 

"In  i860  he  came  west  and  located  in  Platte  County,  Mo.  He 
became  president  of  the  Pleasant  Ridge  College  near  Weston  and 
took  up  reading  the  law  in  the  office  of  Col.  James  N.  Burns. 

"When  the  war  broke  out  Judge  Aller  took  sides  with  the  Union 
cause  and  was  appointed  by  President  Lincoln  collector  of  internal 
revenue.  He  held  this  position  throughout  the  war  and  resigned  to 
accept  the  position  of  judge  of  Platte  County,  to  which  he  was  ap- 
pointed by  Gov.  Fletcher.  He  resigned  this  position  to  engage  in 
the  building  of  the  Chicago  &  Southwestern  railroad  from  the  Mis- 
souri river  to  Davenport,  which  is  now  a  part  of  the  Rock  Island 
system. 

"While  in  Missouri  he  was  elected  to  the  constitutional  conven- 
tion, but  declined  to  serve,  and  he  also  declined  two  nominations  for 
the  legislature.  He  came  to  Leavenworth  to  live  in  1871.  He  was 
general  agent  for  the  Rock  Island  road  and  was  one  of  the  officials 
charged  with  the  management  of  the  Missouri  and  Kansas  bridge. 
He  was  at  one  time  the  owner  and  publisher  of  the  Leavenworth 
Evening  Press. 

"Judge  Aller  was  an  active  Republican  and  during  the  8o's  was 
elected  from  Leavenworth  County  to  the  state  senate  and  served  four 
years.  He  once  received  the  Republican  nomination  for  mayor.  In 
the  national  campaign  of  1892  Judge  Aller  was  the  Republican  elector 
for  this  district.  During  the  last  two  years  of  Governor  Humphrey's 
administration  he  served  as  police  judge,  and  when  the  Republicans 
got  control  of  the  police  board  two  years  ago  he  was  reappointed. 

"Judge  Aller  was  a  Mason.    He  belonged  to  the  lodge  in  Weston." 

Another  newspaper  of  the  same  city  said  : 

"Judge  Aller  was  in  his  seventieth  year,  having  been  born  in 
Schuyler  County,  N.  Y.,  in  1827.  As  a  youth  he  worked  on  a  farm 
and  in  a  tannery  and  was  graduated  from  the  Genesee  College.  He 
founded  the  Elmira  Academy  at  Elmira,  N.  Y.  In  i860  he  came 
West  and  located  at  Weston,  Mo.,  and  for  several  years  was  president 


Eighth   Generation.  997 

of  Pleasant  Ridge  Academy  in  Platte  County.  He  was  appointed 
collector  of  revenue  by  President  Lincoln  and  a  judge  of  Platte 
County  by  Governor  Fletcher.  In  1871  he  moved  to  Leavenworth 
and  was  agent  for  the  Rock  Island  railroad.  In  the  8o's  he  was 
elected  to  the  state  senate  and  served  four  years.  He  was  police 
judge  during  Governor  Humphrey's  administration.  He  was  a 
Mason.  His  wife  and  two  children.  Mrs.  Neely  Todd  and  Henry 
Aller.  survive." 

The  Kansas  City  Times  (Leavenworth  correspondent)  said  : 

"Judge  Aller  came  to  Leavenworth  nearly  thirty  years  ago,  being 
at  the  time  connected  with  the  sur\eying- corps  of  the  Rock  Island. 
Later  he  became  the  superintendent  of  the  Missouri  and  Kansas 
bridge  and  the  road's  local  agent.  He  had  been  more  or  less  promi- 
nently identified  with  Republican  politics  in  the  state,  and  about  eight 
years  ago  secured  a  survey  for  short'  line  to  Denver,  which,  while 
practicable,  could  not  be  brought  into  life,  owing  to  a  failure  to  ob- 
tain the  needed  capital.  Two  years  ago  he  was  appointed  police 
judge  of  this  citv.  He  leaves  a  wife  and  two  children,  Mrs.  N.  W. 
Todd  and  Henry  J.  Aller,  Jr."

pa])er  said  :  "Henry  .\ller  was  horn  at  Plea.saiit  Ridge  College, 
near  Weston,  Mo.,  in  1.S68,  and  removed  with  his  parents  to 
this  city  in  iSji.  He  received  his  education  in  the  pubHc 
schools  of  Leavenworth,  and  later  was  in  the  employ  of  the 
Rittnian  Todd  (irocery  Company,  .\fter  serving  several  years 
with  the  firm  he  was  interested  with  J.  Stephens  in  the  cellu- 
lose mattress  business.  Mr.  .\ller  was  received  in  the  Metho- 
dist Church  in  18.S4  by  the  Rev.  C.  B.  Mitchell,  and  was  very 
po])ular  in  church  circles,  and  was  for  several  years  a  director 
of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  In  1890  Mr.  .\ller  started  a  mission  school 
in  the  vicinity  of  the  North  Leavenworth  coal  mine,  and  took  a 
great  interest  in  this  work  and  sujjported  the  school  from  his 
own  purse.  The  death  of  Henry  .Aller  came  as  a  shock  to  most 
of  this  community,  as  he  was  prominent  in  business  circles  and 
had  a  vast  concourse  of  friends.  He  leaves  a  wife  and  an  infant 
child,  in  addition  to  a  mother  and  sister."

1^5073.  Sue  E.  Died  Sept.  14,  1SS2.  The  Leavenworth  Press  gives 
the  following  account  of  the  runaway  accident  which  resulted 
in  her  death  :  "The  house  of  our  Chief  is  enveloped  by  the 
pall  of  death,  and  cheeks  that  were  all  aglow  with  happiness 
but  a  few  hours  ago,  are  now  blanched  in  the  presence  of  death, 
while  eyes  that  sparkled  with  joy,  are  blind  with  weeping.  It 
was  one  of  the  criiele.st  visitations  of  the  remorseless  nies.sen- 
ger — him  of  the  hour-glass  and  scythe — that  it  has  ever  l)een 
our  misfortune  to  chronicle.  To  gaze  upon  that  young  face, 
beautiful  even  in  death,  and  to  contemplate  that  the  vital  cur- 
rent that  but  a  few  short  hours  ago  thrilled  with  life  ami  joy 
that  now  rigid  form  had  ceased  to  How  forever,  makes  the  task 
of  relating  the  appalling  accident  one  of  extreme  cruelty.  The 
details  of  this  terrible  accident  were  briefly  as  follows  :  Miss 
Sue  AUer.  one  of  Leavenwoith's  most  accomplished  young 
ladies,  daughter  of  Hon.  H.  M.  .\ller,  i)roprietor  of  The  Press, 
and  Mr.  \Vm.  I".  Spencer,  of  the  drug  house  of  Spencer  &  Co., 
of  this  city,  were  on  their  way  to  attend  the  open  air  concert  at 
the  Fort.  The  horse  they  were  driving,  a  high  lifed  animal, 
owned  by  Mr.  S])encer,  when  about  three  hundred  yards  south 
of  the  bridge  that  spans  the  Narrow  Gauge  railway  track,  mid- 
way between  the  city  and  Fort,  from  some  unknown  cause, 
became  frightened  and  dashed  down  the  hill  leading  to  the 
bridge  at  a  terrible  speed.  When  near  the  bottom  of  the  hill, 
in  his  endeavors  to  control  the  frightened  horse,  Mr.  Spencer 
broke  the  right  hand  line,  and  before  he  could  release  the  strain 
on  the  left  hand  line,  the  horse  had  been  pulled  over  to  the 
west  side  of  the  bridge,  through  the  wooden  railing  of  which 
he  crashed,  taking  with  him  to  the  railway  track,  some  twenty 
feet  below,  the  buggy  and  its  ill-fated  occupants.  This  occurred 
a  few  minutes  before  8  o'clock  in  the  evening,  and  no  one  was 
present  to  witness  the  terrible  plunge  over  the  bridge.  Miss 
Aller  was  driven  as  rapidly  as  possible  from  the  scene  of  the 
accident  to  her  home,  where  all  that  the  combined  medical 
skill  of  Drs.  Thomas,  A.  C.  VanDuyn,  S.  F.  Few  and  O.  C. 
McNary  could  suggest,  was  done  for  the  lovely  sufferer,  but  to 
no  avail,  for  as  the  clock  tolled  ten  the  angel  death  relieved  her 
from  further  sufferings.  She  never  spoke  a  word  after  the  ac- 
cident and  neither  by  motion  or  sign  gave  evidence  of  con- 
sciousness. Her  injuries  were  chiefly  confined  to  the  neck  and 
head.  Her  skull  received  a  bad  fracture,  a  portion  of  it  being 
driven  into  the  brain,  which,  upon  being  removed  b}-  the  phy- 
sician, seemed  to  afford  some  relief  to  the  sufferer,  as  she 
breathed  easier  and  uttered  a  low  moan,  the   first  audible  evi-

dence  of  life  she  had  manifested  after  bein^  taken  from  under 
the  carriaj^e.  This  is  a  terrible  blow  to  Judge  Allcr  and  his 
family,  who  all  idolized  Susie.  She  was  the  joy  and  light  of 
the  family  circle  ;  intelligent  and  noble  hearted,  she  was  uni- 
versally esteemed  and  loved."  The  Leavenworth  Times  at  the 
time  of  her  death  said  :  "The  sad  accident  which  bereft  our  city

tleman hovering  l>etween  this  world  and  the  great  silent  beyond, 
is  yet  fresh  in  the  memory  of  the  readers  of  The  Times.  On 
Sunday  afternoon  the  funeral  of  Miss  Sue  li.  Aller,  who  lost 
her  life  in  that  fatal  ride,  toward  Fort  Leavenworth,  took  place 
from  the  residence  of  Hon.  H.  >L  .\ller,  her  father,  on  Pine 
street,  between  Third  and  Fourth.  The  sad  effects  of  the 
accident  were  so  far  reaching  into  the  hearts  of  social  circles 
that  the  attendance  was  unusually  large,  in  fact  the  assemblage 
was  the  largest  ever  seen  at  a  funeral  in  any  private  family  in 
the  city.  Rev.  \V.  H.  Thomas  preache<l  the  funeral  sermon,

that  comes  of  little  acts  of  kindness  from  a  pure  motive."

lime  of  his  death  the  Si>ringfield  Journal  said  :  'The  funeral  of 
Mr.  Grover  Ayers,  Jr.,  at  the  Central  Baptist  Church  Saturday 
was  largely  attended,  the  church  being  crowded  to  its  utmost 
capacity.  This  young  man  who  grew  up  among  you,  the 
schoolmate  in  the  public  ami  Sabbath  school  had  a  character  of 
remarkable  purity.  There  could  not  be  found  upon  it  a  stained 
spot.  There  was  a  nobleness  of  character  that  revealed  itself  to 
all  and  cannot  be  forgotten.  He  allowed  liis  rijR-sl  thoughts  to 
go  out  beyond  the  present.  There  lived  in  him  a  grand,  noble, 
moral  courage,  and  his  nature  craved  something  higher  than 
even  a  pure  life,  and  he  stood  up  before  the  congregation  and 
said,  'I  want  to  be  a  Christian'.  Though  he  had  n(^l  connected 
himself  with  any  church  he  was  a  Christian,  and  he  has  left  his 
young  gentlemen  schoolmates  an  example  that  may  be  followed 
with  safety.  He  was  the  peer  of  any  of  his  associates  intel- 
lectually, but  he  was  ready  to  lay  that  intellect  at  the  feet  of 
his  God.  He  had  a  noble  ambition  to  cultivate  the  intellect 
that  God  had  given  him.  All  that  has  gone  down  with  him, 
but  let  us  hope  in  the  life  before  him  his  highest  aspirations 
will  be  realized.  The  speaker  closed  with  a  pathetic  exhorta- 
tion to  the  relatives,  friends  and  schoolmates  of  the  deceased  to 
follow  his  example  of  life."

received  the  degree  of  A.M.  in  1872,  and  Ph.D.  in  1882  from  Syra- 
cuse University.  He  registered  at  college  from  Carthage,  X.  V. 
While  in  college  he  was  a  member  of  the  Delta  Kappa  Kpsilon  fra- 
ternity and  the  Mystic  Society.  He  married,  Sept.  1.  1869,  Susan 
Ayres.  185028.  Minister  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church.  He 
was  stationed  at  Wolcott,  N.  Y.,  1869-70  ;  Syracuse  First  Church, 
1870-2;  Geddes,  1872-5;  Baldwinsville.  1875-6;  Ithaca  State

in  1886.  He  enlisted  in  the  I'nited  States  Volunteer  service  but  was 
rejected  on  examination. 

At  the  time  of  her  death  the  Cortland  Evening  Standard  said  : 

"Mrs.  Houghton  was  born  July  7,  1843.  She  was  the  daughter 
of  Socrates  and  Susan  Harris  Ayres.  Mr.  Ayres  was  born  in  Tru- 
mansburg,  where  his  ancestors  settled  and  where  descendants  of  the 
family  are  still  found.  A  family  genealogy  now  in  process  of  publi- 
cation and  largely  edited  by  Mrs.  Houghton  traces  the  family  history 
in  unbroken  line  to  Wiltshire,  England,  1590.  The  family  of  Susan 
Harris  lived  in  Pine  Plains.  Dutchess  Co.  Mrs.  Houghton's  parents 
were  married  in  1841  and  for  the  three  following  years  lived  in  Penn 
Yan,  N.  Y.,  where  Mrs.  Houghton  was  born.  The  family  moved  to 
Elmira  in  1844  and  there  Mr.  Ayres  established  a  jewelry  and  insur- 
ance business  which  he  conducted  for  over  forty  years.  Mrs.  Hough- 
ton was  educated  in  the  public  schools  of  Elmira  and  the  Elmira 
College,  graduating  from  the  college  in  1863  with  the  degree  of  Bach-

elor  of  Arts.  She  was  married  to  Rev.  Oscar  A.  Houghton,  at  that 
time  pastor  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church  in  Wolcott,  N.  Y., 
Sept.  I.  1869.  Since  then  Dr.  Houghton  has  served  churches  as 
follows :  Syracuse  (First  ward,  and  West  Genesee  street),  Ithaca. 
Syracuse  (Centenary),  Clyde,  Elmira  (Hedding  Church  and  also 
Centenary  Church),  Auburn,  and  North  Avenue  Congregational 
Church.  Cambridge,  Mass. 

"In  all  these  places  Mrs.  Houghton  was  the  efficient  helper  of 
her  husband  and  left  many  sincere  friends. 

"Mrs.  Houghton's  student  abilities  were  well  known.  Her 
special  field  was  American  and  English  constitutional  history.  While 
IK'ing  in  Syracuse  in  1893-5  she  took  resident  postgraduate  study  in 
Syracuse  I'niversity  under  Prof.  \\m.  II.  .Mace.  Her  major  subject 
was  American  constitutional  history  and  her  minor  subject  English 
mediaeval  history.  In  1895  she  successfully  passed  oral  and  written 
examinations  for  the  degrees  of  Master  of  Arts  and  Doctor  of  Philos- 
ophy. Prior  to  that  time  she  had  spent  several  years  in  the  study  of 
French  history,  particularly  the  period  of  the  French  Revolution. 
Last  June  her  scholastic  attainments  were  further  recognized  by  an 
election  to  the  honorary  society  of  Phi  Heta  Kappa.  She  was  unable 
by  reason  of  her  failing  health  to  present  herself  for  initiation. 

"In  1886  Mrs.  Houghton  spent  some  time  in  travel  and  study  in 
(Germany  and  the  Netherlands.'  The  following  year  she  traveled  in 
England,  Scotland.  Wales  and  France,  spending  some  time  in  Paris. 
In  the  winter  of  1897  and  98  she  was  the  travelling  companion  of 
Mrs.  Esther  B.  Steele  of  Elmira  in  Me.xico  and  the  far  West,  con- 
tributing in  the  meantime  to  various  periodicals.  She  was  greatly 
interested  in  Mexican  history  and  became  a  recognized  authority  in 
that  subject.  She  prepared  parlor  lectures  on  American,  Mexican 
and  English  history,  and  on  home  missionary  work  as  she  observed 
it  on  the  Pacific  coast,  which  were  delivered  in  various  places,  re- 
ceiving high  commendations  from  the  press,  and  from  intelligent 
auditors. 

"Mrs.  Houghton  has  suffered  deeply  in  the  immediate  past  few 
years  in  the  loss  of  many  family  relatives,  her  father,  mother,  one 
brother,  aunt  and  two  cousins  all  having  died  within  five  years.  She 
leaves  beside  her  husband.  Rev.  O.  A.  Houghton,  D.D.,  a  son,  Har-

"During  her  four  years'  residence  of  Cortland.  Mrs.  Houghton 
has  greatly  endeared  herself  to  a  large  circle  of  friends,  not  only  in 
her  own  church  but  in  the  community  at  large,  as  well.  Her  bright 
and  vivacious  manner,  her  cordial  and  genial  ways,  her  sincerity  and 
true  friendliness  were  all  calculated  to  win  and  hold  friends.  She 
was  a  charming  conversationalist,  and  her  extensive  and  intelligent 
reading  and  wide  information  on  almost  every  subject  made  it  profit- 
able as  well  as  delightful." 

The  Elmira  Advertiser  contained  a  lengthy  obituary  notice  writ- 
ten and  signed  by  one  of  Mrs.  Houghton's  girlhood  friends  in  that 
city,  Mrs.  George  Archibald.  We  quote  some  portions  of  this  as 
follows  :  ■ 

"In  Elmira,  which  was  her  birthplace,  and  her  home  until  her 
marriage,  knowledge  of  her  death  brings  especial  sadness.  There 
remain  in  this  city  those  who  remember  her  in  her  bright  and  prom- 
ising girlhood,  those  who  were  her  associates  in  youth  and  middle 
age,  and  some  bound  to  her  by  ties  of  kindred.  Besides  these 
there  are  many  who  in  later  years  have  known  the  unusual  quality  of 
her  womanhood  and  felt  the  superiority  of  her  intellect.  None  of 
these  but  will  speak  of  her  today  with  a  sense  that  something  gifted 
and  gracious  has  passed  beyond. 

"Susan  Ayres  was  born  July  7,  1S43,  daughter  of  Socrates  Ayres 
and  of  Susan  Harris,  his  wife.  Her  father  was  long  prominent 
among  Elmira's  business  men  and  was  well  known  as  a  member  of 
the  First  Methodist  Church,  with  which  he  was  connected  not  far 
from  a  half  century.  There  lives  in  Elmira  a  woman  who  remembers 
the  day  when  he  and  his  w-ife,  then  young  people  but  years  married, 
took  their  babe  Susan  to  the  church  altar  for  baptism. 

"This  child  was  educated  in  the  Elmira  schools  and  was  a  grad- 
uate of  Elmira  College.  In  1867.  Oscar  A.  Houghton,  a  young  man 
just  beginning  the  work  of  ministry,  supplied  the  First  Methodist 
Church  pulpit  for  six  months.  Shortly  after  this  Susan  Ayres  became 
his  wife.  This  marriage  removed  Mrs.  Houghton  from  the  city,  yet 
she  has  always  been  a  frequent  visitor  here,  and  sustained  close  rela- 
tions to  former  friends  and  an  undiminished  love  for  the  old  places. 


Ninth   Generation.  1005 

Indeed  her  returns  have  seemed  like  those  of  one  who,  from  time  to 
lime,  simply  came  to  her  own  again. 

"Twice  Dr.  Houghton  has  been  appointed  to  Elmira  charges, 
serving  a  full  term  at  Hedding  Church  and  a  year  at  Centenary, 
This  renewed  former  companionships  and  revived  former  attachments. 

''Of  the  fulness  and  achievements  of  Mrs.  Houghton's  life  much 
might  be  written.  She  was  a  woman  highly  endowed  and  with  a 
capacity  for  development  rarely  equalled.  Nature  intended  her  for  a 
student  and  so  far  as  life  allowed  she  became  one.  Her  intellectual 
discernments  were  c|uick  and  true.  Her  patience  in  following  their 
leadings  was  untiring.  ( )n  the  day  when  her  son  and  only  child, 
Harris,  was  graduated  from  Syracuse  University,  Mrs.  Houghton 
took  a  degree  there,  won  by  a  course  of  study  such  as  few  women 
accomplish.  To  the  time  when  the  inroads  of  disease  made  applica- 
tion no  longer  possible,  she  still  earnestly  sought  to  know  more  of  the 
things  beloved  evermore  of  scholars. 

"But  not  in  books  alone  did  Mrs.  Houghton  learn.  In  travel 
and  in  observation  she  delighted  to  add  to  her  store  of  knowledge 
and  the  lessons  she  pondered  were  full  of  inspiration  to  those  with 
whom  she  spoke  of  them.  In  the  ripeness  of  her  thought  her  desire 
turned  to  usefulness,  and  the  educative  plans  of  her  future  were  the 
plans  of  one  who  hoped  to  move  the  thoughts  of  others  to  refining 
and  uplifting  etTort.     These  plans  were  broken  off  by  death. 

"Kor  about  two  years  Mrs.  Houghton  has  suffered  from  the 
illness  that  has  ended  her  earthly  life.  Kvery  known  resort  of  medi- 
cal science  failed  to  do  more  than  temporarily  relieve,  and  for  a  few 
months  hold  the  disease  in  abeyance.  Through  the  fluctuations  of 
hope  and  fear  she  herself  has  been  aware  of  the  fatal  possibility. 
With  bright  courage  she  looked  toward  life  when  life  seemed  coming 
back,  with  still  submission  toward  death  when  she  saw  it  sure  to  con- 
c|ucr.  Only  those  who  knew  her  well  enough  to  know  the  indwelling, 
spiritual  things  of  her  soul  can  appreciate  the  experience  of  that 
submission. 

"It  is  difficult  to  speak  of  the  hidden,  sacred  experiences  of  any 
mortal  when  death  has  closed  the  book.  It  is  unfitting  to  speak 
much  of  them  when  she,  of  whom  they  are  spoken,  held  them  apart. 
What  they  were  must  be  inferred  from  what  she  was.  And  Mrs. 
Houghton  was  a  woman  of  noble  soul.     Bright,  positive,  independent 


ioo6  History  of  the  Ayres  Family. 

in  thought  and  action,  she  held  in  her  heart  the  tenderest  love  for  her 
friends,  the  capacity  for  sacrifice  and  the  supremest  loyalty.  She 
was  incapable  of  the  mean  word  of  gossip,  of  insincere  profession  of 
any  sort. 

"Honor,  fealty,  sweetness  at  the  core  I  In  the  memories  of 
those  who  loved  her,  thoughts  of  her  will  bring  remembrance  of  those 
graces — hers  of  nature  and  by  the  blessing  of  spiritual  attainment." 

She  died  Dec.  9,  1900.     Residence,  Cortland,   N.  V.

loio  History  of  the  Ayres  Family. 

9,  1901.  Murray  E.  Poole,  Ithaca,  N.  Y.  Dear  Sir: — In  the 
July  number  of  the  New  Kngland  Historic  and  rienealoj^ical 
Magazine  is  the  notice  over  your  name  of  the  publication  of 
genealogies  of  various  names,  .\mong  them — .\yers — and  I  am 
writing  to  you  hoping  you  will  be  able  with  your  researches  to 
make  connection  with  my  family.  My  great-grandfather, 
Jacob  .\yers,  came  to  this  county  at  the  close  ui  1795  from 
Salisbury,  N.  C.  I  have  a  letter  from  his  father  Moses  written 
to  Jacob  in  1S03  from  Salisbury  giving  various  family  items, 
back  of  that  after  working  seven  or  eight  years,  I  am  unable 
to  go.  I  have  two  contracts  between  Wade  Hampton  and  Jacob 
.■\yers  dated  1792.  I  wrote  to  (»eiieral  Hamjjton  and  sent  copies 
of  these  papers.  He  wrote  me  they  were  signed  by  his  grand- 
father. Now  this  is  my  line  as  I  know  it  :  Moses  and  Dorcas 
•Ayers  ;  Jacob  and  Innocent;  Nathaniel  and  Mary  Ramey  ; 
Monroe  and  Lousiana  Coburn.  .My  father's  oldest  brother 
wrote  me  a  few  years  ago,  {he  has  since  died, )  that  he  heard  his 
grandfather  say,  that  is  Jacob  of  above,  that  the  .\yers  came 
from  New  Jersey  to  North  Carolina,  and  that  they  left  land 
there  if  any  of  them  wanted  to  go  back  and  claim  it.  Two 
strong  traditions  I  have  always  heard,  that  the  family  is  Scotch, 
and  though  it  is  absurd,  I  will  give  it  for  it  may  help,  of  royal 
descent.  1  have  written  a  great  many  letters  to  North  Carolina, 
and  while  some  of  the  parties  to  whom  I  applied  have  promised 
to  help  me,  I  have  learned  positively  nothing.  I  had  a  contin- 
ued correspondence  at  one  time  with  Mr.  Geo.  A.  Gordon  of 
Boston  about  my  mother's  family.  He  suggested  that  my 
.\yers  ancestors  may  have  come  with  the  several  hundred 
Scotch  families  that  settled  in  North  Carolina,  refugees  from 
the  Stuart  rebellion  in  Scotland  of  1745.  Yet  my  uncle  David 
who  was  past  eighty  when  he  wrote,  says  the  family  moved  to 
North  Carolina  from  New  Jersey.  Now  I  am  writing  to  you  as 
a  dernier  ressorL  I  am  not  able  to  go  down  to  North  Carolina 
and  make  researches  and  letters  sent  there  do  no  good.  Hop- 
ing to  hear  from  you,  I  remain  very  sincerely  yours,  Clara 
Ayers."  "109  Luck  .\ve. ,  Zanesville,  Ohio,  July  15.  Dear 
Sir  : — Yours  of  the  nth  inst.  received.  In  giving  me  my  'line' 
I  am  sure  there  is  a  generation  missing  between  *Moses,  born 
1706,  and  ^Jacob.  The  letter  I  spoke  of  in  my  first,  written  by 
Moses  to  his  son  Jacob  from  Salisbury,  N.  C,  was  dated  Jul}'  7, 
1803.  According  to  that  my  great-great-grandfather  must  have 
been  nearly  one  hundred  years  old,  which  is  scarcely  possible. 
He  speaks  of  sons  David,  Samuel,  William,  Moses  and  wife 
Tanache  and  son  Reyle,  Merc}-  and  Hugh  living  in  his  neigh- 
borhood. It  is  the  descendants  of  these  I  have  tried  to  reach 
but   have   failed.     I    give   this   as   affording   a    possible    clue.

Where  is  that  missing  grandfather  with  their  greats  ?  Yours, 
Ci.ARA  Avers."  "109  Luck  Ave.,  Zanesville,  Ohio,  July  18. 
I>ear  Sir  : — Enclosed  is  a  rough  draft  of  my  branch  of  the  Ayers 
family.  It  is  very  incomplete  in  details  because  I  have  had  so 
little  communication  with  my  father's  family.  To  tell  the 
truth  I  am  not  at  all  satisfied  with  a  genealogy  with  a  'missing 
link".  I  trace  my  mother's  family  back  to  Roger  Conant, 
'clear  as  a  bell,'  and  I  should  like  to  do  the  same  with  the  .\yers 
line.  I  was  told  there  was  a  j)rominent  Ayers  family  living  in 
Danville,  Va.  Was  advised  by  some  one  in  North  Carolina  to 
write  to  Mrs.  John  I'enn,  Regent  of  I).  .\.  R.,  Danville,  Va., 
for  infonuation,  but  I  had  written  so  many  letters  and  gotten 
no  infonuation  I  gave  up  discouraged.  Before  writing  this  I 
have  reail  over  all  the  letters  of  relatives  I  applied  to.  Hvery  one 
says  there  is  a  strong  tradition  of  Scotch  descent.  Thu  tradition 
may  be  the  result  of  the  early  association  with  the  Scotch 
emigrants  in  North  Carolina.  I  have  nothing  to  show  that  we 
are  ilescendcd  from  the  New  Jersey  family — only  Iraililion.  Do 
you  want  every  date  |>ossible.''  Very  truly,  Cl.xka  Avers."

The  Green  Bag  for  Nov.,  1891,  says  of  him  : 

"When  the  term  of  Daniel  Haines  as  associate  justice  expired, 
it  devolved  upon  Marcus  L.  Ward,  then  Governor  of  New  Jersey,  to 


IOI4  History  of  the  Ayres  Family. 

find  a  fit  successor.  Governor  Ward  was  a  conscientious  man  and 
loved  his  native  state;  so  he  anxiously  sought  for  the  fittest  man.  To 
his  astonishment  one  or  two  leading  lawyers  to  whom  he  tendered  the 
nomination  for  the  vacant  position  declined  the  honor ;  but  still  more 
amazed  was  he  when  many  members  of  the  Bar  named  an  attorney 
practicing  in  the  small  town  of  Belvidere  as  the  man  best  equipped 
to  fill  the  place.  The  Governor  had  never  heard  of  this  able  lawyer, 
and  knew  nothing  about  him.  liut  this  was  not  remarkable  ;  the 
chief  magistrate  of  the  State  had  had  ver\-  little  to  do  with  lawyers ; 
he  knew  all  about  soldiers,  and  could  name,  without  much  thought  or 
any  hesitation,  the  best  fighters  in  the  war  which  had  just  closed,  for 
he  had  been  a  firm  and  fast  friend  of  the  boys  in  blue.  He  soon 
became  satisfied  that  this  lawyer  from  Helvidere,  thus  recognized  by 
members  of  the  Bar  as  fully  fitted  for  the  oftice  although  unknown  to 
him  and  to  fame,  was  the  man  for  whom  he  was  seeking ;  and  so  on 
the  15th  of  November,  1866,  David  Ayres  Depue  was  commissioned, 
after  being  duly  nominated  and  confirmed,  as  an  Associate  Justice  of 
the  Supreme  Court ;  and  no  better  nomination  was  ever  made. 

"Judge  Depue  is  of  Huguenot  descent;  but  when  his  original 
ancestor  emigrated  to  this  country,  or  from  whence  he  came,  cannot 
now  be  ascertained.  A  family  of  the  name  of  Dupuis,  which  is  un- 
doubtedly the  original  method  of  spelling  the  name,  lived  in  the 
western  part  of  the  State,  near  the  Delaware  River,  during  the  last 
century.  About  a  hundred  and  fifty  years  ago,  Nicholas  Dupuis  was 
connected  with  the  colonial  records  of  New  Jersey.  Some  member 
of  this  family  was  an  ancestor  of  Judge  Depue.  His  father,  Benja- 
min Depue,  a  highly  respectable  citizen,  removed  from  New  Jersey  to 
North  Bethel,  Northampton  County,  in  Pennsylvania,  where  the  future 
judge  was  born  in  1826.  In  1840  Mr.  Benjamin  Depue  returned  to 
Warren  County  in  New  Jersey,  not  to  the  home  of  his  ancestors,  but 
made  his  way  to  Belvidere.  the  capitol  of  the  county,  bringing  the 
future  judge  with  him.  Young  Depue  had  a  careful  father,  who  de- 
termined that  his  son  should  receive  the  very  best  education  which 
could  be  obtained.  Accordingly  he  gave  him  the  benefit  of  a  thor- 
ough academic  course,  in  preparation  for  a  collegiate  training.  In 
pursuance  of  his  plan,  the  father  placed  his  son  in  Princeton  College, 
where  the  young  man  graduated  in  1846.  In  less  than  ten  days  after 
graduation,  young  Depue  entered  the  office  of  John   M.   Sherrerd, 


Appendix    XVIII.  1015 

tnen  one  of  the  leading  lawyers  of  Belvidere.  A  very  warm  friend- 
ship sprang  up  between  preceptor  and  student,  which  continued  until 
the  death  of  Mr.  Sherrerd.  This  friendship  was  so  strong  on  the 
part  of  the  student,  that  his  only  son  was  named  after  Mr.  Sherrerd. 
That  boy  is  now  a  young  lawyer  of  great  promise,  practicing  at  New- 
ark, and  is  Assistant  U.  S.  District  Attorney  of  New  Jersey. 

"Judge  Depue  was  licensed  as  an  attorney  in  1S49,  and  received 
his  counsellor's  degree  in  1852.  He  remained  for  about  a  year  after 
being  licensed  in  Mr.  Sherrerd's  office;  and  then,  following  the  ad- 
vice of  his  friend  and  instructor  that  he  should  become  independent 
and  fight  his  own  way,  opened  an  office  in  lielvidere,  and  soon  gath- 
ered around  him  a  circle  of  warm  friends  and  admiring  clients.  He 
had  not  been  idle  during  his  clerkship,  but  had  applied  himself  indus- 
triously and  carefully  to  the  study  of  the  law.  not  alone  as  the  means 
by  which  he  was  to  earn  his  bread,  but  from  a  pure  love  for  the 
science.  After  he  began  the  practice  of  his  profession,  he  did  not 
allow  himself  to  be  drawn  aside  by  the  ambition  of  acquiring  political 
honors,  so  common  to  young  lawyers.  He  was  a  born  lawyer,  and 
delighted  into  delving  into  the  abstruse  principles  of  legal  science. 
He  did  not  study  law  simply  to  use  it  for  the  present  exigency,  nor 
to  prepare  himself  for  future  contests,  but  because  he  loved  its  ab- 
stract ideas,  and  revelled  in  its  metaphysics.  He  soon  led  the  Bar 
in  his  part  of  the  State,  and  became  known  as  a  highly  accomplished 
lawyer,  an  astute  counsellor,  and  a  powerful  advocate.  So  when  in 
1866  he  became  an  Associate  Judge,  he  brought  to  the  office  an  un- 
usual preparation  for  the  proper  performance  of  its  duties.  He  did 
not  seek  the  nomination,  and  could  in  no  sense  have  been  considered 
a  candidate.  In  fact,  he  wrote  to  Governor  Ward,  when  he  heard 
that  his  name  was  mentioned  in  connection  with  the  position,  that  he 
was  not  an  applicant  for  the  nomination.  So  soon  as  he  was  ap- 
pointed, he  removed  to  Newark,  where  he  has  ever  since  resided. 
His  circuit  at  first  comprised  the  counties  of  Essex  and  Union,  by  far 
the  most  important  in  the  State.  Newark,  the  largest  city  in  New 
Jersey,  is  in  Essex ;  and  Elizabeth,  an  important  town,  in   Union. 

"Of  the  characteristics  of  this  illustrious  man  it  is  almost  impos- 
sible to  write  and  do  them  justice  without  seeming  fulsome.  For  a 
quarter  of  a  century  he  has  been  the  Circuit  Judge  of  Essex  County. 
For  a  large  part  of  that  time  that  county  has  comprised  all  there  is 


ioi6  History  of  the  Ayres  Family. 

of  his  circuit.  Union  was  long  since  placed  in  that  of  Judge  Van 
Syckel.  From  the  first  term  of  court  held  by  him.  Judge  Depue 
fastened  himself  upon  the  affection  and  confidence  of  the  people,  and 
they  have  never  swerved  from  their  loyalty  to  him.  They  believe  in 
him  ;  his  word  is  law,  his  judgment  conclusive,  his  opinion  implicitly 
trusted  ;  juries  have  an  abiding  faith  in  his  utterances.  It  is  some- 
times amusing  to  watch  the  jurors  after  a  wearisome  trial,  after  law- 
yers have  badgered  them  with  their  conMicting  views,  and  the  time 
comes  for  the  judge  to  give  his  opinion  of  the  case,  and  see  them 
start  from  their  listless  position  and  become  all  alive.  Now.  they 
seem  to  say,  we  shall  get  at  the  right  of  it ;  now  we  can  learn  what  is 
our  duty ;  and  so  their  eyes  kindle,  their  faces  are  all  aglow ;  and  as 
the  words  drop  in  measured  tones,  each  strong  and  driven  home  by 
inexorable  logic  and  con\incing  argument,  they  clearly  see  what  their 
duty  is  in  the  case,  and  what  is  tiie  law  involved.  If  there  be  one 
quality  of  Judge  Depue's  mind  which  is  more  marked  than  any  other, 
it  is  his  ability  to  set  before  the  judgment  of  jurors  the  facts  in  a 
case,  and  apply  the  law  in  exactness  to  those  facts.  He  is  so  cool, 
so  dispassionate,  so  free  from  prejudice,  so  impartial,  that  they  know 
that  they  will  be  fairly  and  honestly  dealt  with,  and  that  they  will  not 
err  if  they  follow  his  lead. 

"It  is  charged  by  some  that  he  is  restive  in  the  trial  of  causes. 
Perhaps  the  charge  is  partially  true  ;  but  it  is  the  impatience  of  gen- 
ius, chafing  at  the  dullness  of  inferior  minds,  at  the  waste  of  time  in 
the  utterance  of  platitudes  of  mediocrity,  or  at  unnecessary  delay. 
He  is  always  fair,  never  impatient  when  the  case  demands  care  and 
examination.  But  his  quick,  alert  mind  sees  the  end  from  the  begin- 
ning, and  he  deplores  that  valuable  moments  should  be  wasted  in 
delaying  a  result  which  he  had  already  learned  was  inevitable.  So 
his  impressive  'Proceed,  gentlemen  I'  means  that  it  is  not  necessary 
to  spend  breath  in  endeavoring  to  postpone  that  which  is  already 
determined,  or  to  establish  that  which  is  so  easily  demonstrable. 

"Judge  Depue  took  his  seat  on  the  bench  at  the  November  term 
of  the  year  1866,  but,  of  course,  could  take  no  part  in  delivering 
opinions,  except  such  as  were  oral,  and  could  only  listen  to  arguments. 
His  first  opinion  was  given  at  the  March  term,  1867.  It  was  a  case 
of  quo  warranto,  arising  upon  the  school  law  of  the  State.  The  cause 
was  not  of  any  very  great  importance,  but  it  received,  as  did  every 


Appendix    XVIII.  1017 

case  submitted  to  him,  a  thorough  and  searching  examination.  His 
opinions  are  always  exhaustive,  and  he  has  the  faculty  of  ascertaining 
every  point  there  is  in  a  cause. 

•In  1873  his  first  term  closed,  and  he  was  renominated  by  Gov- 
ernor Parker,  who,  although  politically  opposed  to  him,  yet  appre- 
ciated the  importance  of  retaining  him  in  the  judiciary  of  the  State. 
In  1880  he  was  again  nominated  and  confirmed,  and  by  a  Democratic 
Governor.  His  third  term  expired  in  1887,  when  he  was  again  made 
an  Associate  Justice.  These  reappointments  were  just  tributes  to  his 
impartiality,  ability  and  integrity.  He  has  since  his  appointment  to 
office  never  swerved  a  hair's-breadth  from  the  strict  line  of  duty,  by 
any  consideration  whatever.  When  on  the  bench  he  knows  no  friend 
nor  foe,  is  swayed  by  no  motive  other  than  the  earnest,  overmastering 
desire  to  do  justice  to  all.  His  keen  discrimination  and  quick  intui- 
tion enable  him  to  discern  at  once  what  is  the  true  path  of  duty,  and 
he  never  fails  to  find  and  follow  it. 

"With  all  his  mental  acquisitions,  his  intellectual  ability,  and  his 
profound  learning,  he  is  a  man  of  simple  and  unaffected  manners, 
and  is  easy  of  access  to  all.  no  matter  how  poor  or  humble.  He  is  a 
great  reader,  and  delights  especially  in  biography ;  his  tastes  are 
scholarly  and  lead  him  to  the  highest  order  of  literature.  He  dearly 
loves  the  society  of  friends,  and  will  with  them  unbend  himself,  in 
his  leisure  moments,  in  humor  and  discussions  of  lighter  themes  than 
those  connected  with  abstract  legal  principles.  Two  colleges  in  New 
Jersey  have  conferred  the  degree  of  LL.D.  upon  Judge  Depue, — 
Rutgers  in  1874,  and  Princeton  in  1880."

ADDITIONS  AND  CURRliCTIUNS. 

The  name  and  its  synonyms :  Ayres,  Ayer,  Ayre.  Kyer.  Eyre, 
etc.,  is  not  uncommon.  It  is  found  dating  back  to  the  i  ith  century. 
The  legend  concerning  its  origin  is  found  in  'Thorp's  Catalogue  of 
the  deeds  of  Battle  Abbey." 

Legend  :  The  first  of  this  family  was  named  Trulove.  who  was 
one  of  the  followers  of  William  the  Concjueror  at  the  Hattle  of  Hast- 
ings (1066).  The  Duke  was  flung  from  his  horse,  and  his  helmet 
was  beaten  into  his  face,  which.  Trulove  observing,  he  pulled  it  olY 
and  horsed  him  again.  Duke  William  told  him  :  "Thou  shalt  here- 
after instead  of  Trulove  be  called  P'.yre  (or  Air;  because  thou  hast 
given  me  the  air  I  breathe."  After  the  battle  the  Duke  found  him 
severely  wounded,  his  leg  and  thigh  having  been  struck  off.  He 
gave  him  lands  in  Derby,  a  coat-of-arms — the  leg  and  thigh  in  armor 
cut  off — and  an  honorary  badge  yet  worn  by  all  the  Eyres  in  England. 
Arms  :  Argent  on  a  chevron  sable,  three  quarter-foils,  or.  Crest : 
An  armored  leg  couped  at  thigh  erect  per  pole.  Motto  :  Lacte  aere 
fiorent.

L.  A.  Coolidge  in  Ainslee's  Magazine  for  December,  1901,  says 
of  him  : 


1 042  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

"If  one  hundred  American  citizens  were  to  be  asked  to  name 
the  most  InHuential  man  in  Congress,  ninety-nine  of  them  would  reply 
off-hand,  ''I'he  Speaker  of  the  House  of  Representatives' — and  they 
would  be  wrong.  If  by  the  most  influential  man  in  Congress  is 
meant  the  one  who  accomplishes  the  most,  who  has  most  to  do  with 
shaping  legislation,  whose  support  of  any  particular  measure  is  of 
greatest  value — the  man  who  comes  nearest  to  meeting  the  definition 
is  Nelson  W.  Aldrich,  a  United  States  Senator  from  Rhode  Island. 
The  Speaker  of  the  House  is  powerful ;  at  his  own  end  of  the  capitol 
his  supremacy  is  unchallenged  ;  but  Aldrich  is  greater  than  he.  Al- 
drich can  handle  the  Senate. 

"Outside  of  Washington  not  many  people  know  very  much  about 
Aldrich.  There  are  a  dozen  Senators,  at  least,  whose  names  are 
more  familiar.  Frye  and  Hale,  Hoar  and  Lodge,  Hawley,  Piatt, 
Depew,  Allison,  Foraker,  Klkins,  Spooner,  Quay,  Mark  Hanna — any 
one  of  these  is  better  known,  and  yet  any  one  of  them  will  yield  to 
Aldrich  in  knowledge  of  what  can  be  done  in  the  Senate  and  how  to 
do  it.  If  1  want  to  put  a  bill  through  Congress,'  said  one  of  them, 
'I  had  rather  talk  with  Aldrich  than  with  any  other  ten.' 

"Fight  or  ten  years  ago  an  election  of  Senator  was  pending  in 
Illinois.  The  Democrats  in  state  convention  had  nominated  John 
M.  Palmer  as  their  candidate.  Palmer  was  an  old  war  horse  sur- 
rounded with  all  the  traditions  and  sentiment  of  his  party.  Certain 
Republicans  thought  it  would  be  a  fine  thing  if  they  were  to  oppose 
him  with  Uncle  Dick  Oglesby,  likewise  an  old  war  horse  surrounded 
with  traditions  and  sentiment,  and  a  representative  was  sent  to  talk 
with  Uncle  Dick  about  it.  Oglesby  objected.  "John  and  I  have  had 
our  day,'  he  said.  'We  were  all  right  years  ago,  but  times  have 
changed.  Fither  one  of  us  would  be  out  of  place  in  the  Senate.  A 
man  to  succeed  there  now  has  to  be  a  specialist.  Suppose  John  is 
elected  ;  he  goes  to  Washington  and  a  tariff  bill  comes  up.  He  can 
make  a  great  speech  on  the  tariff.  It  is  a  matter  of  principle  with 
him,  and  he  will  wax  eloquent  on  the  iniquity  of  protection  and  the 
advantages  of  a  tariff  for  revenue.  If  he  were  to  make  the  same 
speech  out  here  on  the  prairies  it  would  set  them  afire.  The  old 
settlers  would  take  his  word  for  gospel  and  think  he  knew  all  about 
it.  It  would  be  the  same  with  me  if  I  were  to  talk  on  the  other  side. 
I  could  discuss  the  tariff  as  I   would  discuss  the  Christian   religion. 


Sixth    Generation.  1043 

But  I  have  never  studied  the  details  of  it,  and  neither  has  he.  John 
will  get  up  and  deliver  his  oration,  and  then  that  little  fellow  Aldrich 
on  the  other  side  will  ask  him  something  about  schedules.  He  will 
ask  him  about  the  duty  on  steel  rails,  or  tinplate,  or  sugar,  or  nails, 
or  something  of  that  kind,  and  John  won't  know  what  to  say.  He 
never  heard  of  a  schedule  in  his  life,  and  he  won't  be  in  it.  All  his 
fine  sentiments  will  be  just  so  much  wind.  He  is  too  old  to  learn 
new  tricks,  and  so  am  I.  The  man  who  succeeds  in  the  Senate 
nowadays  is  the  one  who  has  studied  the  details  of  a  question.'  So 
I'ncle  Dick  refused  to  stand.  Palmer  was  elected,  and  the  result 
was  just  what  I'ncle  Dick  had  foretold. 

"The  incident  illustrates  how  Aldrich  has  gained  his  hold.  He 
is  a  specialist.  He  knows  the  tariff  from  A  to  Z,  and  there  is  no 
other  man  in  either  branch  of  Congress,  now  that  Dingley  is  dead, 
who  can  compare  with  him.  There  is  no  questioii  vitally  affecting 
business  interests  in  which  .\ldrich  is  not  equally  at  home.  He  is  a 
business  man,  and  the  great  industries  of  the  country  have  learned  to 
look  upon  him  as  their  special  representative.  And,  after  all,  the 
great  mass  of  really  important  legislation  has  to  do  with  business. 

"For  twenty  years  the  Senate  has  been  gaining  on  the  House.  It 
has  seized  one  advantage  after  another  until  it  has  things  about  its 
own  way.  Its  limited  membership  and  unlimited  debate  give  indi- 
vidual Senators  free  play.  The  House  has  grown  so  big  that  it  has 
been  compelled  to  cut  off  debate  and  put  arbitrary  power  in  the 
hands  of  the  Speaker.  It  has  to  act  promptly  as  a  unit  if  it  is  to  act 
at  all.  ( )n  cjuestions  of  legislation  where  serious  differences  arise 
with  the  Senate  it  frequently  has  to  take  a  measure  or  reject  it  just 
as  it  stands.  It  originates  legislation.  It  sends  a  bill  over  to  the 
Senate  and  the  Senate  amends  it.  It  is  in  the  power  of  a  small  group 
of  Senators,  and  sometimes  at  the  close  of  a  session,  in  the  power  of 
a  single  Senator,  to  prevent  the  passage  of  any  bill.  There  are  times 
when  any  Senator  with  a  small  following,  by  threatening  long  debate, 
can  compel  amendments  which  are  satisfactory  to  him.  A  measure, 
thus  amended  so  as  to  insure  the  support  of  a  majority  of  the  Senate, 
goes  back  to  the  House  where  it  originated.  If  it  is  a  measure  in- 
volving party  policy  the  house  has  to  take  it  or  else  run  the  risk  of 
sending  it  back  to  the  Senate  again  with  amendments  that  will  arouse 
limitless  discussion  imperiling  its  fate.     In  nine  cases  out  of  ten  the 


I044  History  of  the  Tremax  Family. 

House,  under  protest,  will  accept  the  Senate  amendments  rather  than 
run  the  risk  of  defeating  the  bill  altogether,  and  right  here  is  where 
a  master  of  legislation  like  Aldrich  has  his  power.  Having  secured 
the  kind  of  a  bill  he  wants  in  the  Senate  he  convinces  the  House  that 
it  must  take  that  or  nothing. 

"When  Aldrich  first  came  to  Washington  as  a  member  of  the 
House  he  was  a  wholesale  grocer  in  Providence.  That  was  in  1879. 
and  he  had  served  his  apprenticeship  in  politics  as  President  of  the 
Providence  Common  Council,  and  Speaker  for  one  year  of  the  House 
of  Representatives  of  the  Rhode  Island  General  Assembly.  His 
reputation  was  that  of  a  good  business  man  who  had  shown  political 
aptitude,  and  he  did  very  little  in  the  House  to  increase  it  one  way 
or  the  other.  He  was  recognized  as  a  level-headed  member  who 
would  make  a  very  sensible  representative  as  representatives  go.  It 
was  a  Democratic  House,  with  Sam  Randall  as  Speaker,  and  they 
put  Aldrich  at  the  foot  of  the  committee  on  the  District  of  Columbia. 
He  was  reelected  to  the  Forty-seventh  Congress,  but  before  he  took 
his  seat  again  he  had  been  chosen  to  the  Senate  as  the  successor  to  Gen- 
eral Burnside  ;  his  legislative  experience  has  been  acquired  almost  ex- 
clusively in  the  body  of  which  he  is  now  the  most  influential  member, 

"The  Senate,  when  Aldrich  entered  it,  was  evenly  divided  politi- 
cally, and  David  Davis  was  president  pro  tem.  The  leader  of  the 
Republican  side  was  George  F.  Edmunds,  of  Vermont,  a  man  almost 
the  exact  opposite  of  Aldrich  in  everything  that  goes  to  make  up  a 
legislative  leader.  Edmunds  was  a  great  lawyer,  a  keen  debater,  a 
master  of  incisive  English,  with  a  mind  like  a  surgeon's  scalpel.  Of 
politics  in  the  ordinary  sense  he  knew  nothing.  He  could  no  more 
have  railroaded  a  complicated  tariff  bill  through  the  Senate  than  he 
could  have  handled  a  Tammany  district  in  New  York.  He  knew 
nothing  about  managing  men  or  combining  interests.  And  yet  by 
sheer  acuteness  of  intellect  and  mastery  of  legislative  problems  Ed- 
munds dominated  the  Republicans  in  the  Senate  for  many  years. 
His  leadership  was  unchallenged  until  there  came  a  new  order  of 
things  with  the  forcing  of  the  tariff  question  to  the  front  when  Grover 
Cleveland  sent  in  his  famous  message.  Edmunds  was  chairman  of 
the  Committee  on  Judiciary  and  the  leading  member  of  the  Commit- 
tee on  Foreign  Relations — the  two  committees  of  the  Senate  in  which 
Aldrich  would  probably  find  himself  least  at  home. 


Sixth   Generation.  1045 

"When  Aldrich  entered  the  Senate  the  tariff  question  was  just 
beginning  to  assume  an  important  place  in  legislation.  The  Tariff 
Commission  which  framed  the  tariff  of  1883  was  at  work  and  mem- 
bers of  Congress  were  talking  about  schedules  and  duties.  Aldrich 
as  a  business  man  representing  an  important  manufacturing  state  was 
appointed  to  a  place  on  the  Committee  on  Finance,  with  which  he 
has  remained  ever  since,  and  of  which  he  is  now  the  chairman.  He 
had  already  begun  to  study  financial  questions,  and  before  long  it 
was  clear  that  the  new  Senator  was  going  to  devote  himself  to  that 
side  of  legislation,  and  to  that  alone.  It  probably  never  occurred  to 
him  at  that  time  that  through  that  means  he  was  destined  to  grow 
into  the  position  of  leadership.  He  was  interested  chiefly  in  looking 
out  for  the  industries  of  his  own  state,  and  in  order  to  do  that  effect- 
ively he  found  it  necessary  to  study  closely  all  the  conditions  which 
would  affect  them.  There  are  not  many  men  in  public  life  who  are 
willing  to  give  themselves  up  to  that  kind  of  work,  but  Aldrich  was 
not  only  willing  to  do  it — he  was  enamored  of  the  task.  He  kept  at 
it  until  he  knew  to  a  nicety  just  how  any  one  of  the  industries  in 
which  he  was  especially  interested  would  be  affected  by  an  increase 
or  reduction  in  duties,  just  what  proportion  of  profit  rested  in  ad 
valorem  or  specific,  just  what  relation  one  industr)-  bore  to  another. 
Then  he  went  further.  He  read  all  the  books  he  could  find  on 
political  economy  and  the  theories  of  finance.  There  is  probably  no 
man  in  Congress  who  has  read  more  thoroughly  or  understandingly 
than  he.  His  library  on  financial  topics  is  one  of  the  most  complete 
in  the  United  States. 

"When  a  man  masters  any  particular  subject  those  who  have 
devoted  less  time  to  it  are  very  apt  to  let  him  have  his  own  way  in 
everything  relating  to  it  where  their  own  individual  interests  do  not 
happen  to  be  at  stake.  Other  Senators  had  schemes  of  their  own  to 
look  after.  Each  one  was  hunting  what  seemed  to  him  to  be  bigger 
game.  And  so  they  began  to  look  to  Aldrich  to  settle  questions  of 
detail  relating  to  the  tariff'.  On  the  first  Committee  on  Finance  of 
which  he  was  a  member  were  Justin  Morrill  of  Vermont,  John  Sher- 
man of  Ohio,  Thomas  W.  Ferry  of  Michigan,  John  P.  Jones  of 
Nevada,  and  William  B.  Allison  of  Iowa.  Morrill  knew  about  the 
tariff  and  was  regarded  as  the  father  of  Protection  ;  but  he  was  more 
interested  in  the  theory  than  in  the  details.     Sherman  was  a  master 


1046  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

of  finance,  and  of  the  laws  of  exchange — the  greatest  tinancier  who 
had   sat  in  the  Senate  in  a  generation.     But  the  schedules  of  the 
tarifif  bill  wearied  him.     He   was  a   statesman   of  the  old  school,  of 
political    ambition — always    looking   towards  the   presidency    which 
he  never  reached.     Ferry  was  nearing  the  end  of  his  political  career. 
Jones  of  Nevada  cared  little  except  for  silver  and  the  currency.    Allison 
was  chairman  of  the   Committee  on   Appropriations,  which   in   itself 
was  enough  to  occupy   the   time  of  any   Senator.     Aldrich  was   the 
only  one  of  the  lot  who  devoted  himself  to  the  tariff  with  its  infinite 
details,  and  who  was  willing  to  sacrifice  everything  else  for  that.     It 
has  been  much  the  same  with  every  succeeding  finance  committee  of 
which  he  has  been  a  member.     When  the  Mills  bill  came  over  from 
the  House  of  Representatives  in  1888  .\ldrich  was  the  only  Republican 
in  the  Senate  who  could  devote  his  entire  time  to  its  consideration. 
When  the  Senate  committee  decided  to  frame  a  Republican  substitute 
on  Protection  lines,  Aldrich  was  there  to  watch  every  schedule  and 
figure  on  every  dutj .      lie  was  a   member   of   the  sub-committee   to 
frame  the  bill,  and  the  other  members  came   very  near  letting  him 
have    his    own    way.     That    was    really    the    first    demonstration   of 
Aldrich's  leadership  in  the   Senate.     It  came   about  so  (juietly  that 
most  people  were  unconscious  of  it.     Indeed,  it   was  not  until  two 
years  later  that  the  Senate  aroused  fully  to  the  realization  that  he 
had  become  the  master-mind  in  dealing  with  the  question  which  was 
then   the   dividing   issue   between    parties.     When   the    Republicans 
came  into  power  in  the  Fifty-first  Congress  the  great   problem   they 
had  before  them  was  to  frame  a  tariff  bill.     McKinley  was  chairman 
of  the  Ways  and  Means  Committee  in  the  House.      He  was  the  spec- 
tacular champion  of  Protection,  and  his  name  was  synonymous  with 
the  protective  theory.     The  committee  of  which  he   was   the   head 
framed  a  tariff  bill  after  many  hearings  and  after  much  travail  which 
was  known  as  the  McKinley  bill,  and  which  was  sent  to  the   Senate 
late  in  May.     In  the  Senate  the  Finance  Committee  took  hold  of  it 
and  proceeded  to  do  with  it  as  they  saw  fit.     The  work  of   revision 
was  given  to  a  sub-committee  of  which  Aldrich  was  a  member,  and  it 
was  Aldrich  who  figured  on  the  schedules  and  decided  what  changes 
ought  to  be  made.     The  other  members  had  their  suggestions   with 
regard  to  industries  in   which   they   were   especially   interested  ;  but 
Aldrich  was  interested  in  all  industries,  and  it  was  easy  for  them  to

let  him  have  his  way.  When  the  bill  went  back  to  the  House  there 
was  hardly  a  schedule  which  did  not  bear  his  mark,  and  when  the 
bill  finally  became  a  law  it  would  more  appropriately  have  borne  his 
name  than  McKinlev's.  What  was  true  of  the  McKinley  bill  in  1890, 
was  true  also  of  the  Dingley  bill  in  1896.  and  strange  to  say,  it  was 
true,  in  a  measure,  of  the  Democratic  Wilson-Gorman  bill  of  1894, 
for  the  most  striking  feature  of  Aldrich's  leadership  is  that  it  is  almost 
as  effective  on  the  Democratic  side  of  the  Senate  as  on  his  own.  In 
all  the  history  of  Congress  there  has  never  been  another  man  who 
had  his  genius  for  managing  political  opponents  as  well  as  political 
friends. 

"It  has  often  been  said  of  the  Senate  in  jest  that  it  is  a  rich 
man's  club.  So  far  as  the  rich  men  are  concerned,  this  is  not  a  very 
happy  description,  for  there  are  not  many  men  of  wealth  in  the  north 
wing  of  the  Capitol.  But  nobody  can  understand  the  Senate  very 
well  who  does  not  appreciate  the  fact  that  it  has  many  of  the  charac- 
teristics of  a  club.  With  a  few  conspicuous  exceptions,  Senators  are 
on  good  terms  with  one  another.  There  is  a  spirit  of  good-fellowship 
among  them,  and,  politics  aside,  there  is  the  basis  for  a  common  un- 
derstanding. It  would  be  easy  to  recall  many  instances  of  firm 
friendship  between  men  on  opposite  sides  of  the  aisle.  Conkling  and 
Thurman,  Vest  and  (Juay,  Chandler  and  Tillman,  Frye  and  (iorman 
are  cases  in  point.  Where  personal  relations  are  so  close  it  is  not 
strange  that  party  differences  should  occasionally  be  found  not  strong 
enough  to  prevent  harmony  of  action  on  measures  which  are  not  of 
obvious  party  importance. 

"It  is  generally  possible  for  any  Senator  who  is  recognized  as  a 
good  fellow  to  do  business  on  the  other  side  of  the  chamber  when  it 
comes  to  minor  questions  in  which  he  has  something  personally  at 
stake.  Hearing  this  in  mind  it  is  not  so  difficult  as  it  might  otherwise 
be  to  understand  how  it  has  come  about  that  a  man  like  Aldrich  has 
been  able  to  establish  relations  on  the  Democratic  side  which  work 
frequently  to  Republican  advantage. 

"Aldrich  is  a  master  of  all  the  higher  arts  of  the  politician.  He 
understands  people  and  motives  better  than  any  other  man  in  Con- 
gress. He  appreciates  intuitively  where  personal  interests  lie,  and 
he  knows  how  to  combine  them.  There  are  half  a  dozen  of  the  most 
inriuential  Senators  on  the  Democratic  side  with  whom  Aldrich  can

always  talk  understandingly.     When  Gorman  was  in  the  Senate  and 
was  the  master-mind  on  his  side  of  the  chamber,  it  was  always  easy 
for  the  two  men  to  get  together,  for  they  had  many  (jvialities  in  com- 
mon— with  this  marked  difference,  that  Gorman   had   political  ambi- 
tions for  himself,  while  Aldrich  apparently  has  none.     That  is  how 
it  happened  that  Aldrich  had  so  much  to  say  about  the   tinai   shape 
which  should   be  assumed  by  the   Wilson-Gorman  tariff  act.      The 
history  of  that  act  illustrates  the  possibilities  of  level-headed  leader- 
ship in  the  Senate.     The  bill  was  framed  in  the  House,  where  it  had 
to  originate,  on  the  basis  of  a  tariff  for  revenue  only,  and  was  about 
as  impractical  a  measure  as  ever  got  a  standing  in  Congress.     When 
it  reached  the  Senate  it  ran  up  against  a  lot   of  hard-hearted  politi- 
cians and  business  men  who  cared  nothing  for  theories.     Gorman,  on 
the  Democratic  side,  had  as  little  use  for  Wilson's  vagaries  as  any  one 
of  his  Republican  associates.     He  did   not  know  very   much  about 
details  of  the  tariff,  but  he  knew  in  a  general  way  what  he  wanted  to 
get,  and  lie  was  very  glad  indeed  to  have  the  assistance  of  Aldrich's 
technical  knowledge  when  he  came  to  the  task  of  putting  his  ideas 
into  shape.      It  is  hardly  a  secret    that    the   cotton   schedule   in  the 
W^ilson-Gorman  act  was  dictated   by  Aldrich   almost  word   for   word, 
and  there  were  many  other  schedules  about  whicii  he  and  other   Re- 
publicans had  a  great  deal  to  say.     The  Senate  was  not  overwhelm- 
ingly Democratic  at  that  time,  and  the  wishes  of  individual   Senators 
had  to  be  consulted  in  order  to  get  enough   votes   to  pass   any  bill 
whatever.     When   the   bill   went   back  to  the    House  it  was  barely 
recognized  by  its  original  framers  ;  but  there  was  nothing  they  could 
do  about  it.     The  session  was  nearing  its  close,  an  election  was  com- 
ing on.     For  a  Democratic  Congress  elected  on  the  tariff  issue  to 
have  adjourned  without  passing  some  kind  of  a  tariff  bill  would  have 
been  a  confession  of  inefficiency  which  was  not  to  be  thought  of. 
To  send  the  bill  back  to  the  Senate  meant  its  defeat.     In  despera- 
tion, the  Democratic  House  adopted  the  Senate  bill  without  the  cross- 
ing of  a  /  or  the  dotting  of  an  /,  marked  by  "perfidy  and  dishonor" 
though  thev  believed  it  to  be.     That  was   an   occasion   where   a  few 
cool  heads  in  the  Senate  proved  more  than  equal  to  the  President  and 
the  House  combined,  and  Aldrich,  Republican  though  he  was,  is  en- 
titled to  a  great  share  of  the  credit. 

"What  Aldrich  did  with  a  Democratic  Senate  on  this  great  ques- 


Sixth   Generation.  1049 

tion  of  party  policy  he  is  constantly  doing  with  the  Democratic 
minority  in  a  Republican  Senate  on  all  sorts  of  questions  which  have 
a  business  side.  He  is  not  a  man  who  establishes  intimate  friend- 
ships either  among  his  party  associates  or  his  party  opponents,  but 
he  is  on  good  terms  with  everybody,  and  apparently  deals  with  frank 
confidence  with  everybody.  One  great  secret  of  his  success  is  that 
he  cares  nothing  for  personal  distinction.  He  is  entirely  satisfied 
with  his  position  in  the  Senate.  It  is  a  matter  of  inditTerence  to 
him  whether  his  name  figures  in  the  newspapers  or  not.  He  is  not 
looking  for  anything  in  a  political  way  beyond  what  he  already  has. 
So  long  as  he  can  get  substantially  what  he  wants  mto  a  bill  he 
does  not  care  what  name  it  goes  by.  The  McKinley  bill,  the 
Dingley  bill,  the  Hanna  or  Frye  bill,  are  all  one  to  him  so  long  as  he 
has  something  to  say  about  their  contents.  He  is  not  figuring  on  the 
presidency  or  looking  forward  to  a  place  in  history.  He  never  seeks 
the  center  of  the  stage  and  cares  nothing  for  the  limelight.  Thus 
one  powerful  cause  for  jealousy  and  suspicion  on  the  part  of  his  asso- 
ciates is  altogether  lacking.  He  is  probably  the  only  man  in  the 
Senate  of  whom  this  can  be  said,  for  even  the  best  of  them  have 
their  vanities  and  ambitions. 

"Aldrich  has  never  found  it  necessar}'  to  attach  himself  to  any 
faction  in  his  own  party,  and  he  has  never  depended  in  any  way  upon 
his  relations  with  the  administration.  He  has  never  been  one  of 
th(»>c  who  frequented  the  White  House.  He  is  independent  of  Presi- 
dt-nts.  He  has  never  been  in  need  of  federal  patronage  whether  in 
his  own  state  or  to  advance  his  schemes  in  the  Senate.  He  is  sure 
of  Rhode  Island  anyway  so  long  as  he  cares  to  remain  in  Congress, 
and  he  has  other  means  than  administration  inHuence  to  further  his 
legislative  projects.  McKinley  wanted  him  to  be  Secretary  of  the 
Treasury,  but  Aldrich  declined  with  thanks,  without  giving  it  a  sec- 
ond thought.  All  he  wants  politically  is  to  remain  in  the  Senate.  He 
has  never  figured  in  national  conventions,  and,  so  far  as  can  be  seen, 
has  never  taken  part  in  the  manipulations  for  the  nomination  of  a 
President.  He  has  no  aspirations  to  shine  as  an  orator.  When  he 
makes  a  speech  in  the  Senate  it  is  on  some  dry  financial  subject  and 
its  sole  purpose  is  to  supply  his  side  with  ammunition.  He  never 
jumps  into  a  rough-and-tumble  debate,  but  he  has  a  way  of  asking 
questions,  or  making  statements,  which  are  disconcerting  to  the  other 


1050  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

side.  He  is  quite  ready  to  let  others  have  all  the  spectacular  advan- 
tages. The  idea  of  playing  to  the  galleries  never  entered  his  mind. 
He  never  bustles  about  his  work.  When  a  measure  is  on  in  which 
he  is  interested  he  moves  around  quietly  and  easily,  talking  with  this 
man  and  that,  finding  out  just  what  everybody  wants  and  just  what 
everybody  insists  on  or  is  willing  to  concede.  He  never  burrows  or 
accomplishes  his  end  by  stealth.  Everything  with  him  is  frank  and 
above-board.  He  never  assumes  an  air  of  mystery,  and  yet  it  is  a 
standing  mystery  how  he  manages  to  accomplish  so  much  with  so 
little  elTort.  He  is  always  accessible,  always  good  natured.  and  al- 
ways ready  to  talk  with  apparent  sincerity  and  freedom. 

"When  Aldrich  came  to  Washington  twenty  years  ago  he  was  a 
comparatively  poor  man  with  a  large  family.     Today  he  is  reputed  to 
be  several  times  a  millionaire.     The  foundation   of  his  fortune  was 
laid  in  consolidating  the  street  railways  of  Providence,  which  he  still 
controls.     Through  the  associations  which  he  formed  in  that  transac- 
tion with  men  of  capital  he  has  been  able  to  accumulate  a  great  deal 
of  money.      Hut  it  is  characteristic  of  Aldrich   that   although   he  has 
become  wealthy  his  habits  of  life  are  as  plain  and  unassuming  as  they 
always  were.      He  has  never  set  up  an  establishment  in  Washington. 
Occasionally  he  has  occupied  a  rented  house,  but  of  late  years  he  has 
always  lived  at  the  Arlington   Hotel  when   Congress  was  in  session, 
while  his  family  have  preferred  to  live  quietly  in   Providence.      He 
has  five  sons  and  three  daughters,  but  none  of  them   has  ever  cared 
for  the  society  of  the  capital.     He  dines  out  a  great  deal  and  is  so- 
ciably inclined,  but  his  tastes  are  simple.      He  cares  nothing  for  the 
usual  recreations  of  men  of  great   wealth.     He   has  never  owned  a 
yacht  or  a  fast  horse.     His  only  recreation    has   been    in    occasional 
trips  abroad.     A  few  years  ago  he  bought  several  farms  at  Warwick 
Neck  on  Narragansett  Bay,  a  few  miles  from  Providence,  and  he  is 
gradually  transforming  them  into  a  summer  home.     In  time  he  will 
have  an  estate  there  which  will  rival  the  greatest   estates   along  the 
New  England  coast,  but  meanwhile  he  lives  in  one  of  the  comfortable 
old  farmhouses  as  simply  and  plainly  as  if  that  were  all  he  had  in  the 
world.     It  was  in  this  old  farmhouse,  which  will  be  torn  down  before 
long,  that  the  v.edding  of  his  second   daughter  and   John  D.  Rocke- 
feller, Jr.,  took  place  a  few  weeks  ago.     Stories  of  the  princely  elab- 
orateness of  that  afifair  had  their  origin  in  the  imagination   of   the 
newspaper  men. 


Seventh    Generation.  105 i 

"In  personal  appearance  Aldrich  is  one  of  the  handsomest  men 
in  public  life.  He  has  a  well-knit  frame.  His  finely  cut  face  beams 
with  good  humor.  Twenty  years  ago  when  he  came  to  the  House 
his  hair  was  wavy  and  jet  black,  which  gave  him  a  striking  appear- 
ance. Now  it  is  rather  sparse  and  gray,  and  the  mustache  is  gray. 
But  in  spite  of  that  he  is  lithe  and  agile  as  a  boy.  He  is  a  good  type 
of  the  successful  business  man  who  has  brushed  up  against  all  sorts 
of  people  and  knows  how  to  live — a  man  of  the  world,  not  over-bur- 
dened with  sentiment,  and  not  worr^'ing  about  other  people's  ills."

215800.  Hon.  Lyman  Tre.main.  5440.  The  following  is 
taken  from  a  memoir  of  him  : 

"Lyman  Tremain  was  born  in  the  town  of  Durham,  and  county 
of  Greene,  in  this  State,  on  the  fourteenth  day  of  June,  18 19.  His 
father  was  Levi  Tremain,  who.  with  his  wife,  came  to  Durham  from 
Berkshire  county,  Massachusetts,  in  the  year  1812,  and  remained  at 
Durham  up  to  the  close  of  his  life.  The  grandfather  of  Lyman,  Na- 
thaniel Tremain,  was  a  Revolutionary  soldier,  who  died  in  Pittsfield, 
Massachusetts,  many  years  ago.  Lyman  first  attended  the  schools 
of  his  native  town,  and  subsequently  became  a  student  at  the  Kinder- 
hook  academy,  an  institution  which  was,  at  that  time,  one  of  the  most 
flourishing  of  the  select  schools  of  the  State.  It  was  here  that  his 
capacity  as  a  speaker  became  noticeable,  and  at  the  age  of  fourteen 
he  delivered  at  the  academy  an  original  speech  which  was  the  subject 
of  very  complimentary  remarks  by  the  audience  that  heard  it.     He 


Seventh   Generation .  1053 

left  school  soon  after,  and  at  the  age  of  fifteen  entered  the  law  office, 
in  Durham,  of  John  O'lirien,  as  a  student  at  law.  Here,  for  some 
years,  he  worked  most  industriously,  aiming  to  become  a  sound  and 
learned  lawyer,  and  feeling  that,  however  he  might  have  been  endowed 
by  nature  with  original  ability,  no  man  ever  became  a  great  lawyer 
without  a  most  intense  devotion  to  his  profession,  and  a  thorough 
knowledge  of  the  fundamental  principles  upon  which  the  law  is  based. 
Appreciating  fully  these  facts,  young  Tremain.  earnestly,  zealously, 
earlv  and  late,  with  his  whole  heart  and  mind  bound  up  in  the  object 
of  his  life,  studied  law.  In  addition  to  study,  he  aided  his  principal 
in  the  many  things  that  a  quick  and  intelligent  clerk  can  do  in  the 
office  of  a  practicing  lawyer  in  the  country.  And,  in  addition,  he 
tried  many  causes  in  justices'  courts  in  the  surrounding  country,  and 
exhibited,  in  those  early  contests,  the  fertility  of  resource,  the  readi- 
ness and  quickness  with  which  he  brought  his  knowledge  to  bear 
upon  (juestions  as  they  arose,  which,  in  after  life,  on  wider  fields  and 
in  the  most  important  cases,  were  such  marked  characteristics. 
What  he  learned,  he  learned  thoroughly,  so  that  he  knew  it  all  through 
and  through,  and  never  skinuncd  over  a  principle  of  law,  but  studied 
it  until  he  was  master  of  the  reasons  for  its  existence  and  the  argu- 
ments, if  any,  by  which  it  might  be  assailed.  This  manner  of  study- 
ing his  profession  he  kept  up  while  he  was  in  the  office  of  Mr. 
( )'Hrien.  He  left  there  shortly  before  he  was  admitted,  and  entered 
the  office  of  Samuel  Sherwood,  Ksq.,  of  New  York,  where  he  re- 
mained a  short  time,  when,  in  1840,  he  was  admitted  to  the  Bar  as 
an  attorney  of  the  Supreme  Court,  the  degree  of  counselor  at  law 
coming  later.  He  went  back  to  Durham  and  formed  a  partnership 
with  Mr.  (J'Brien,  in  whose  office  he  had  studied.  His  own  practice 
soon  became  lucrative  and  extensive,  and  reached  into  the  adjoining 
counties  of  Albany.  Schoharie.  Columbia  and  Ulster.  He  remained 
in  Durham,  engrossed  in  the  practice  of  his  profession,  until  he  came 
to  Albany,  in  the  year  1853. 

"During  these  busy  years  at  Durham,  the  young  lawyer  had 
achieved  such  a  reputation  for  ability,  industry  and  integrity,  that  he 
stood,  at  the  time  he  left  Durham,  in  the  very  front  rank  of  the  Bar 
in  his  county.  In  February,  1846,  he  was  unanimously  appointed 
District  Attorney  of  Greene  county  by  the  judges  of  the  Court  of 
Common  Pleas.     During  the  brief  time  in  which  he  held  that  office, 


I054  History  of  the  Tremax  Family. 

an  unusual  amount  of  important  criminal  business  fell  upon  him  to 
dispose  of.  Several  trials  for  murder  took  place,  and  in  all  of  them 
he  showed  entire  familiarity  with  the  facts,  an  intimate  knowledge 
of  the  law,  including  that  relating  to  evidence,  and  a  readiness  to  find 
the  weak  point  in  a  witness  or  an  antagonist  that  enabled  him  to  make 
the  most  he  could  out  of  either.  During  these  years  he  was  a  warm 
Democrat.  In  1847  he  was  nominated  for  the  office  of  County  Judge 
by  that  wing  of  the  Democratic  party  then  known  as  the  "Hunker" 
wing.  It  was  at  a  time  when  the  bitterest  animosity  existed  between 
the  Hunkers  and  the  Barnburners  tliroughout  the  State.  In  this 
election,  in  Greene  county  there  were  three  candidates  for  County 
Judge,  one  from  each  of  the  two  wings  of  the  Democratic  party  and 
one  from  the  Whig  party.  The  contest  on  the  part  of  Mr.  Tremain 
with  his  party  divided,  seemed  almost  a  forlorn  hope,  yet  such  was 
his  general  popularity  and  the  universal  faith  in  his  integrity  and 
ability,  that  he  was  triumphantly  elected.  In  1848  he  was  one  of  the 
delegates'to  the  Democratic  National  Convention,  when  Lewis  Cass 
was  nominated  for  the  Presidency,  and  stood  among  the  leading  men 
of  the  New  York  delegation.  In  the  fall  of  1851  he  was  renominated 
for  the  County  Judgeship,  and  had  for  his  opponent  the  Honorable 
Alexander  H.  Bailey,  who  was  subsequently  State  Senator.  The 
contest  was  very  animated  and  close,  and  the  portion  of  the  Demo- 
cratic party  which  had  been  of  the  Barnburner  wing  did  not  support 
him  with  any  great  cordiality,  and  the  result  was  a  very  doubtful 
one — depending  upon  the  action  of  the  board  of  county  canvassers 
as  to  whether  a  certain  alleged  return  from  an  election  district  in  the 
town  of  Catskill  should  be  rejected  for  alleged  irregularities,  or  should 
be  counted.  The  board  concluded  to  reject  the  return,  and,  as  a 
result  of  that  decision,  awarded  the  certificate  to  Judge  Tremain  and 
adjourned  sine  die.  Thereupon,  Mr.  Bailey  procured  an  alternative 
mandamus,  returnable  at  the  General  Term,  to  be  held  in  Albany  in 
December,  1851,  and  served  it  upon  the  supervisors,  as  members  of 
the  board  of  county  canvassers,  ordering  them  to  show  cause  why 
they  should  not  be  compelled  to  meet  again  as  such  board,  and  re- 
canvass  the  votes,  and  include  therein  the  rejected  return,  and  award 
the  certificate  to  Mr.  Bailey.  The  case  was  argued  upon  the  return 
day  by  Mr.  Killian  Miller,  of  Columbia  county,  for  the  relator,  Mr. 
Bailey,  and  by  Mr.  Nicholas  Hill  for  the  board  of  county  canvassers. 


Seventh    Generation.  1055 

The  Court,  consisting  of  Judge  Harris.  Parker  and  Wright,  refused 
the  mandamus,  holding  that,  the  board  having  once  canvassed  and 
dissolved,  no  power  remained  in  it,  even  by  order  of  the  Court,  to 
legally  re-convene  and  re-canvass,  and  that  the  remedy  of  the  relator 
was  by  information  in  the  nature  of  a  writ  of  quo  warranto.  This 
ended  the  legal  controversy,  and  there  was  nothing  in  law  to  prevent 
Judge  Tremain.  under  the  authority  of  his  certificate,  from  again,  on 
the  coming  first  of  January,  assuming  the  office  and  putting  Mr.  Bailey 
to  his  action,  when  the  whole  matter  would  have  been  the  subject  of 
legal  investigation,  with  a  result  in  accordance  with  legal  principles, 
liut  such  a  proceeding  did  not,  under  the  circumstances,  meet  the 
approval  of  Judge  Tremain.  In  his  own  mind  he  had  serious  doubts 
of  his  election  ;  that  is,  throwing  aside  all  legal  questions,  he  had 
grave  doubts  as  to  his  having  received  a  majority  of  the  votes  cast  at 
the  election,  and.  having  those  doubts,  added  to  the  legal  questions 
as  to  the  propriety  of  the  action  of  the  board  of  county  canvassers  in 
throwing  out  the  return  from  one  of  the  Catskill  districts,  he  made 
up  his  mind  that  he  would  not  accept  the  certificate  nor  act  as  County 
Judge.  .Accordingly,  on  the  first  of  January.  1852,  he  left  the  Bench, 
and,  by  that  very  act.  showed  how  worthy  he  was  to  further  occupy 
and  adorn  it.  The  late  Judge  Harris,  who  was  a  member  of  the 
Court  which  decided  the  mandamus  motion,  and  who  himself  wrote 
the  opinion  of  the  Court,  in  after  years,  while  speaking  to  one  of  the 
classes  of  the  Albany  law  .school  upon  the  high  sense  of  honor  which 
ought  to  characterize  ever)'  member  of  the  profession,  instanced  this 
action  of  Judge  I'remain  as  one  illustrative  of  his  meaning,  that  mem- 
bers of  the  Bar  should  never  themselves  ground  their  own  actions 
upon  narrow  and  technical  rules  of  law.  but  upon  the  broader  and 
higher  ground  of  personal  honor.  Judge  Tremain  remained  at  Dur- 
ham, in  the  vigorous  practice  of  his  profession,  until,  as  has  been 
said,  he  removed  to  Albany  in  1853.  and  entered  into  partnership 
with  his  old  friend,  the  late  Judge  Rufus  \V.  Peckham,  which  contin- 
ued until  the  latter  went  on  the  Bench,  in  January,  i860.  During 
these  years,  from  1853  to  i860.  Judge  Tremain  was  actively  engaged 
in  his  professional  labors,  and  immediately  upon  his  arrival  in  Albany 
took  rank  with  the  leaders  of  the  Bar  there.  The  day  before  the 
meeting  of  the  Democratic  State  Convention  in  1857,  a  gentleman 
came  in  liis  office,  who  was  himself  a  candidate  for  nomination  for  a 


1056  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

prominent  State  office,  and  asked  Judge  Tremain  to  go  up  with  him 
to  Syracuse,  and,  when  asked  what  for.  answered,  *So  that  you  can  be 

nominated  for  Attorney-General  and  I  for ."     To  which  Judge 

Tremain  replied  :  •!  should  like  to  be  nominated  for  Attorney-General 
very  much,  but  the  nomination  would  lose  all  its  pleasure  if  I  were  to 
go  to  Syracuse  and  personally  seek  it.'  And  he  did  not  go ;  never- 
theless, his  name  was  presented  at  that  convention  and  he  was  nomi- 
nated by  acclamation.  His  popularity  with  his  party  was  very  great, 
for  he  had  a  most  frank  and  open  manner,  always  greeting  one  with 
cordiality  and  warmth.  He  was  a  most  successful  'stump'  speaker, 
and  a  political  canvass  had  rarely  passed  off  since  he  was  twenty,  in 
which  he  had  not  been  called  upon  by  his  party  to  defend  its  princi- 
ples upon  the  platform.  His  party  was  successful  and  he  was  elected 
Attorney-General,  and  served  in  the  office  for  two  years.  While  At- 
torney-General he  assisted  the  District-Attorney  of  Albany  county 
upon  the  trial  of  the  famous  (in  the  legal  literature  of  our  State)  Mrs. 
Hartung  for  the  murder  of  her  husband.  The  prisoner  was  a  young 
and  quite  pretty  German  woman,  the  motive  for  the  crime  being  her 
love  for  another  man.  who  was  also  indicted  as  an  accessory  before 
the  fact.  The  modest  appearance,  quiet  demeanor,  and,  above  all, 
the  youth  and  beauty  of  the  prisoner,  procured  sympathy  for  her  in  the 
minds  of  most  of  those  who  saw  her.  The  charge  was  that  of  murder 
by  poisoning,  and  the  interest  in  the  trial  deepened  every  day.  She 
was  ably  defended,  but  the  proofs  of  guilt  were  too  clear,  and.  in  the 
hands  of  such  a  prosecuting  officer  as  Mr.  Tremain,  were  presented 
to  the  jury  in  such  a  logical,  clear  and  forcible  way,  that  there  was  no 
room  left  for  doubt,  and  the  jury  were  held  up  to  the  performance  of 
their  plain  duty  by  the  moral  force  of  the  law  officer  of  the  State, 
who  infused  into  the  breasts  of  the  jury  his  own  high  ideas  of  the 
honest  performance  of  official  duty,  however  disagreeable  its  perform- 
ance may  be.  The  prisoner  was  convicted,  and  upon  a  writ  of  error 
being  brought  to  the  Supreme  Court,  the  conviction  was  there  af- 
tirmed.  The  prisoner  brought  error  to  the  Court  of  Appeals,  where  all 
the  exceptions  taken  on  the  trial  were  examined  and  held  untenable. 
But  since  the  trial,  and  prior  to  the  judgment  in  the  Court  of  Appeals, 
the  legislature  had  passed  an  act  in  relation  to  the  punishment  for 
the  crime  of  murder,  which  the  Court  held  was  an  (\x  post  facto  act, 
so  far  as  the  prisoner  was  concerned,  and   as  the  law,  under   which 


Sex'Enth   Generation.  1057 

she  had  been  convicted  and  sentenced,  had  been  repealed  by  this 
change,  it  was  held  there  was  no  law  by  which  she  could  be  punished, 
and  the  guilty  woman  was  finally  discharged  under  the  law  as  laid 
down  by  the  Court  of  Appeals.  This  action  of  the  legislature  was 
by  some  imputed  to  a  sympathy  for  the  condemned  woman,  and  as 
the  .Supreme  Court  had  affirmed  the  judgment  and  the  Governor 
had  refused  to  interfere,  there  seemed  no  escape  for  her  except  by 
legislative  interference.  Mr.  Tremain's  connection  with  the  case 
ceased,  however,  with  the  conviction  before  the  Oyer  and  Terminer, 
as  the  successive  District  Attorneys  of  Albany  county  took  charge  of 
the  case  in  its  further  progress  up  and  down  in  the  several  Courts. 
Another  important  criminal  trial,  in  which  he  assisted  the  District 
Attorney  of  New  York  county,  occurred  while  he  was  Attorney-Gen- 
eral. That  was  the  case  of  the  Italian,  Cancemi,  accused  of  the 
murder  of  a  police  officer  in  the  city  of  New  York.  After  some 
progress  had  been  made  in  the  trial,  information  came  to  the  prose- 
cution which  led  them  to  entertain  grave  doubts  of  the  honesty  of 
one  of  the  jurors.  The  matter  was  finally  arranged  by  a  stipulation, 
signed  in  open  Court  by  the  prisoner,  his  counsel  and  the  counsel  for 
the  people,  that  the  juror  be  withdrawn,  and  providing  for  a  verdict 
by  the  remaining  eleven,  and  that  the  record  should  show  a  trial  by 
the  twelve.  The  trial  then  proceeded  and  resulted  in  the  conviction 
of  the  accused.  Notwithstanding  their  stipulation,  the  counsel  for 
the  prisoner  brought  a  writ  of  error  and  obtained  a  certificate  from 
the  presiding  judge  qualifying  the  postca  and  showing  the  fact  of 
such  withdrawal  of  a  juror,  and  upon  that  moved  in  arrest  of  judg- 
ment. The  case  is  interesting  upon  the  question  of  criminal  practice, 
and  also  as  deciding  that  the  prisoner  cannot  consent  to  a  trial  by 
less  than  the  number  of  twelve  jurors,  and  that,  in  case  he  is  so  tried 
and  convicted,  the  conviction  will  be  reversed.  It  also  opens  the 
question  how  far  counsel  may  be  justified  in  going  in  his  efforts  for  a 
client.  In  this  case  the  counsel  violated  their  stipulation,  in  bringing 
into  the  record  the  fact  of  a  trial  by  eleven  jurors  ;  in  other  language, 
violated  their  plighted  faith  and  appeared  in  the  case  as  men  who,  in 
acting  for  a  client,  were  willing  to  violate  a  solemn  agreement  entered 
into  by  them  with  the  assent  of  the  client,  and  to  forfeit  their  word 
to  a  professional  brother.  Self-respect  must  have  disappeared  in  the 
general  wreck.     If  there  be  any  question  as  to  the  propriety  of  such 


1058  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

conduct,  surely   it  can    not   be   found   in  the  ranks  of  an  honorable 
profession  ! 

"The  Democracy  again  nominated  Mr.  Tremain  for  re-election 
as  Attorney-General  in  the  fall  of  1859,  but  the  Republicans  carried 
the  State  and  elected  the  Honorable  Charles  G.  Myers  as  Attorney- 
General.  During  the  term  of  Mr.  Myers,  he  commenced  the  import- 
ant action,  in  the  name  of  the  people,  against  the  New  York  Central 
Railroad  Company,  to  recover  certain  back  tolls  alleged  to  be  due  to 
the  State  for  property  transported  by  the  company.  The  claim 
amounted  to  millions  of  dollars.  It  was  based  upon  a  clause  i)f  the 
constitution  providing  a  certain  disposition  of  the  revenues  of  the 
canals,  and  upon  a  statute  providing  for  the  collection  of  tolls  for 
freight  on  the  railroad,  to  be  paid  during  the  suspension  of  canal 
navigation  to  the  commissioners  of  the  canal  fund,  the  tolls  to  be  the 
same  per  mile  as  would  have  been  paid  had  the  freight  been  trans- 
ported on  the  canal.  The  statute  was  repealed  in  1851,  and  the 
claim  was  made  that  the  repeal  was  unconstitutional,  inasmuch  as 
these  tolls  on  the  railroad  for  the  transportation  of  freight  were  sub- 
stantially part  of  the  revenues  of  the  canals,  and,  as  such,  could  not 
be  diverted  from  the  purposes  to  wiiich,  by  the  constitution  they 
were  dedicated.  As  has  been  said,  the  claim  of  the  people,  if  suc- 
cessful, involved  the  recovery  of  millions  of  dollars  of  back  tolls  and 
the  inevitable  imposition  of  tolls  for  the  future,  only  to  be  taken  off 
by  a  constitutional  amendment.  It  was  a  case  the  importance  of 
which  to  the  railroad  company,  and  indeed  also  to  the  State,  could 
hardly  be  overestimated.  While  Mr.  Tremain  was  Attorney-General, 
he  had,  upon  the  recjuest  of  the  Senate,  given  to  that  body  an  elab- 
orate opinion  covering  the  question  of  the  constitutionality  of  the  act 
repealing  the  act  for  the  collection  of  tolls,  and  in  that  opinion  he  had 
come  to  the  conclusion  that  the  repealing  act  was  valid.  His  suc- 
cessor, Attorney-General  Myers,  in  answer  to  a  request  from  the 
Assembly,  under  date  of  March,  i860,  sent  to  that  body  a  communi- 
cation that,  in  his  opinion,  the  repealing  act  was  unconstitutional. 
Hence  the  action  brought  by  him  to  test  the  constitutionality  of  the 
repealing  act,  and  to  recover  the  back  tolls  from  the  railroad  com- 
pany. The  company,  with  a  full  sense  of  the  importance  of  the 
cause,  retained  Mr,  Tremain  as  senior  counsel  to  defend  such  claim, 
and  with  him  were  associated  one  of  the  general  counsel  of  the  com- 


Seventh   Generation.  1059 

pany  (S.  T.  Fairchild,  Esq.),  and  ex-Judge  Paige,  of  Schenectady, 
who  was  a  director  in  the  railroad  company.  The  action  came  on 
for  trial  before  the  late  Judge  John  \V.  Brown,  at  the  Orange  Circuit, 
and  resulted  in  a  nonsuit.  The  people  appealed  to  the  General 
'lerm  of  the  Supreme  Court,  where  the  nonsuit  was  affirmed,  and 
thence  to  the  Court  of  Appeals,  which  Court  affirmed  the  judgments 
of  the  Courts  below,  and  thus  ended  the  question  as  to  the  legality 
of  the  repealing  act,  by  a  decision  in  favor  thereof.  All  through  the 
contest,  Mr.  Tremain  was  the  chief  counsel  for  the  railroad  company, 
and  his  argument  in  the  Court  of  Appeals  was  pronounced  unanswer- 
able, and  a  masterly  vindication  of  the  power  of  the  legislature  to 
pass  the  repealing  act.  It  was  also  very  gratifying  to  him  that  his 
opinion,  given  while  Attorney-General,  upon  the  power  of  the  legisla- 
ture to  pass  the  act,  was  concurred  in  by  the  unanimous  voice  of  all 
the  Judges  who  heard  the  arguments  and  in  all  the  Courts.  The  late 
Judge  William  I-.  Allen  delivered  the  unanimous  opinion  of  the  Court 
of  Appeals,  in  which  Court  he  was  then  sitting  as  one  of  the  Jus- 
tices of  the  Supreme  Court,  under  the  old  judiciary  article  of  the 
constitution. 

"Thus  Mr.  Tremain  stood,  a  leader  in  his  profession,  engaged 
in  the  active  practice  thereof,  and  taking  part  in  many  of  the  most 
important  civil  and  criminal  cases  which  arose  in  the  State,  when  the 
war  of  the  rebellion  broke  out.  I'p  to  this  time  he  had  stood  among 
the  foremost  members  of  the  Democratic  party  of  his  State — always 
in  the  confidence  of  his  party,  and  always  received  by  the  members 
thereof,  when  he  appeared  in  public,  with  demonstrations  of  the 
highest  affection. 

"During  that  solemn  winter  of  1861,  when  it  seemed  as  if  the 
country  were  drifting  into  civil  war  with  all  its  inexpressible  and 
necessary  horrors,  and  nothing  seemed  to  be  done  to  prevent  it,  or 
to  calm  the  passions  of  the  people,  the  Democratic  party  of  New  York 
called  together  a  State  Convention,  to  be  held  at  Tweddle  Hall,  in 
Albany,  on  the  31st  day  of  January,  1861.  Pursuant  to  that  call, 
several  hundred  delegates,  from  all  parts  of  the  State,  assembled  at 
Albany.  The  temporary  president  was  Hon.  Sanford  E.  Church,  its 
permanent  one  being  Hon.  Amasa  J.  Parker.  Speeches  in  favor  of 
conciliation  were  there  made,  and  resolutions  were  there  passed,  hav- 
ing for  their  object  an  escape  from  civil  war.     Mr.  Tremain,  on   the 


io6o  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

first  day  of  the  session,  was  absent  in  the  trial  of  a  cause  at  the  Al- 
bany Circuit.  On  the  morning  of  the  second  day  he  was  in  the  con- 
vention, and,  being  called  to  the  platform,  made  a  speech  which 
became  thereafter  the  cause  of  the  most  abundant  abuse  of  the  posi- 
tion subsequently  taken  by  him  in  regard  to  the  war.  It  was  an  able 
speech,  made  before  an  excitable  audience,  and  in  a  time  of  great 
excitement,  when  the  words  of  men  speaking  extemporaneously  were 
naturally  not  weighed  with  that  care  which  the  same  men  would  use 
in  a  legal  argument  or  in  a  judicial  opinion,  'i'here  are,  undoubtedly, 
words  used  in  that  speech,  which,  when  torn  from  the  general  con- 
text, and  read  entirely  alone,  with  no  reference  to  the  circumstances 
of  national  peril  under  which  the  convention  met,  or  to  the  objects 
and  purposes  of  the  convention,  would  not  commend  themselves  to 
the  better  judgment  of  even  the  speaker  himself.  Hut  he  was  speak- 
ing to  men  who  were  eager  to  prevent  bloodshed,  and  who  thought 
that  the  policy  of  the  Republican  party,  then  coming  into  power,  was 
wrong  and  tending  necessarily  to  civil  war.  In  his  own  language  in 
that  very  speech  :  'Time  is  important.  Get  time  until  the  passions 
'of  men  may  cool.  Prevent  a  collision  which  must  inevitably  result 
'in  civil  war.  Give  the  people  an  opportunity  to  speak,  and  then  will 
'be  time  enough,  if  the  time  must  ever  come,  when  you  shall  unsheathe 
'the  sword  against  your  southern  brethren.  In  the  meantime,  I  think 
'we  stand  a  unit,  opposed  to  civil  war.'  The  idea  was  the  appoint- 
ment of  a  commission  by  the  legislature,  and,  failing  in  that,  by  the 
convention,  to  see  if  some  means  might  not  be  found,  honorable  to 
all,  by  which  war  could  be  averted  and  the  union  saved.  And  it  was 
speaking  in  reference  to  that  object,  and  the  attitude  of  the  Republi- 
can party,  which  was  believed  to  be  hostile  to  any  such  commission 
from  the  legislature,  or.  indeed,  to  any  action  whatever,  that  Mr. 
Tremain  made  the  allusions  he  did.  However,  notwithstanding  the 
action  of  the  convention,  the  peace  conference,  etc.,  the  winter  glided 
steadily  by,  and  nothing  was  done.  Spring  came,  and  Mr.  Lincoln 
was  inaugurated.  Then  an  attempt  was  made  to  revictual  Fort  Sum- 
ter in  Charleston  harbor.  Blood  was  spilt,  the  President  called  out 
seventy-five  thousand  volunteers,  and  war  was  actually  upon  us. 
During  the  summer  of  1861,  Bull  Run  was  fought,  and  several  minor 
engagements,  and  the  two  sections  were,  by  the  fall,  fairly  launched 
in  the  life  and  death  struggle.     The  Democratic  party  met  in   con- 


Seventh   Generation.  io6i 

vention  and  nominated  State  officers,  among  them  Mr.  Tremain  for 
Attorney-General.  This  nomination  he  decHned,  and  gave  his  reason, 
that  he  thought  all  partisan  or  political  contests  should  cease  until 
the  end  of  the  war. 

"Men  might  reasonably  differ  upon  the  question  as  to  what 
should  be  the  attitude  of  the  Democratic  party.  It  was  thought,  on 
one  side,  that  many  of  the  acts  of  the  government  were  entirely  out- 
side the  constitution — illegal  and  wrong ;  that  its  system  of  arbitrary 
arrests,  without  warrant  and  many  times  without  cause,  tended  to 
tyranny  and  a  contempt  for  law.  and,  if  indulged  in  without  rebuke, 
might  render  the  country,  when  saved,  so  used  to  the  Mexican  sys- 
tem, that  political  freedom  and  personal  freedom  would  both  be  lost 
in  the  very  jaws  of  victor)- ;  that  to  approve  such  acts  on  the  part  of 
the  government  was  to  encourage  it  to  persist  in  equal  if  not  worse 
violations  of  the  organic  law  ;  and,  therefore,  there  could  be  no  union 
with  a  party  whic  h  proposed  to  approve  these  or  the  general  acts  of 
the  administration.  On  the  other  hand,  men  like  Mr.  Tremain 
thought  and  said,  while  we  are  in  this  struggle  let  us  not  call  up  the 
constitutional  question  ;  let  us  endure  the  danger  arising  from  arbi- 
trary arrests,  from  illegal  acts  generally,  in  the  belief  that,  if  we 
succeed  in  the  main  struggle,  we  will  be  then  able,  and  our  officials 
will  be  then  willing,  to  return  to  the  old  ways  of  law  and  order,  with 
the  habeas  corpus  in  full  life.  The  great  mass  of  the  Democratic 
party  took  the  former  view  of  the  situation,  and.  while  willing  to 
prosecute  the  war,  was  not  willing  to  permit  the  administration  to 
violate  the  law  of  the  land,  especially  in  the  peaceful  states,  by  this 
arbitrary  arrest  system,  and,  consequently,  the  party  opposed  the  ad- 
ministration in  all  such  matters.  The  charge  of  inconsistency  has 
been  frequently  brought  against  Mr.  Tremain  by  his  former  political 
associates,  based  upon  his  declination  of  the  nomination  in  1861  for 
Attorney-General,  and  upon  his  joining  the  ranks  of  the  Union-Re- 
publican party  at  that  time  ;  and  his  Tweddle  Hall  speech  is  pointed 
to  for  the  purpose  of  proving  the  charge.  The  circumstances  under 
which  that  speech  was  delivered  have  been  already  detailed.  It  was 
not  spoken  after  war  became  inevitable,  but  only  while  there  was 
hope  that,  by  conciliation,  calmness,  wisdom,  peace  might  be  pre- 
served. After  all  these  hopes  had  ceased,  and  when  war  with  all  its 
stern  realities  was  upon  us,  and  substantially  the   whole   North   was 


io62  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

unanimous  upon  the  subject  of  a  prosecution  of  the  war ;  and  when 
the  only  questions  at  issue  were  as  to  the  approval  of  certain  of  the 
acts  of  the  administration,  and  their  probable  or  possible  effect,  not 
only  upon  the  war  itself,  but  after  peace  had  been  achieved  ;  the  fact, 
that  Mr.  Tremain  differed  with  most  of  his  party  upon  the  effect  of 
such  acts  and  of  such  approval,  does  not  prove  him  inconsistent  with 
his  position  in  Januarj',  1861,  under  entirely  different  circumstances 
and  speaking  for  entirely  different  purposes.  It  was  a  bitter  step  for 
him  to  take,  when  he  separated  himself  from  many  of  his  life-long 
political  friends  and  went  into  opposition  to  that  party  where  he  had 
won  so  much  political  renown,  and  which  had  ever  treated  him  with 
so  much  kindness.  Nothing  but  a  sense  of  duty  on  his  part  nerved 
him  to  the  task,  and  kept  him  up  through  all  the  future  years,  tlis 
sincerity  was  put  to  a  most  severe  test,  when,  in  1862,  he  consented 
to  his  first-born,  then  a  mere  stripling,  enlisting  in  the  service  and 
going  out  as  adjutant  of  one  of  the  New  York  regiments.  This  son  was 
his  pride.  A  remarkably  bright,  active  youth,  full  of  hope  and  of 
high  and  lofty  ambition.  It  was  a  tremendous  sacrifice  for  him  to 
consent  to  this  son's  going  into  the  service,  and  yet  he  did  it.  and 
bade  him  God  speed  on  his  mission. 

"In  the  fall  of  1862  Judge  Tremain,  without  solicitation  on  his 
part,  was  nominated  by  the  Republicans  for  the  office  of  Lieutenant- 
Governor,  with  General  W'adsworth  as  the  candidate  for  Governor. 
The  Democrats  nominated  Horatio  Seymour  for  Governor,  and  Uavid 
R.  Floyd  Jones  for  Lieutenant-Governor.  The  canvass  was  a  most 
exciting  and  bitter  one,  and  the  Democrats  made  full  use  of  the 
Tweddle  Hall  speech  and  its  alleged  inconsistencies.  The  Demo- 
crats carried  the  State  by  a  majority  of  about  ten  thousand,  and  Mr. 
Tremain  suffered  defeat  with  his  party.  During  the  period  interven- 
ing, and  up  to  the  close  of  the  war,  Mr.  Tremain  was  actively  at  work 
in  the  practice  of  his  profession,  and  he  was  never  happier  than 
when  hard  at  work  in  his  office  or  in  Court.  He  was  also  active  in 
the  political  campaigns  of  the  years,  and  was  engaged  in  making  war 
speeches,  aiding  in  the  raising  of  regiments  for  the  war,  and  generally 
testifying,  by  all  the  means  in  his  power,  the  deep  and  abiding  inter- 
est he  took  in  the  struggle  which  was  going  on.  During  this  time  he 
was  retained  as  one  of  the  counsel  in  the  famous  legal-tender  cases, 
the  question  involving  the  constitutionality  of  that  section  of  the  law 


Seventh   Generation.  1063 

of  Congress  which  imparted  to  the  'greenback'  its  legal-tender  quality. 
He  made  an  argument  before  the  Court  of  Appeals  in  favor  of  the 
legality  of  the  clause,  and  that  Court,  by  a  divided  vote,  sustained 
the  constitutionality  of  the  provision,  which  prevented  an  appeal  to 
the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States.  He  was  also  retained  to 
defend  the  banks  upon  the  claims  made  to  tax  the  shares  in  national 
banks  created  under  the  act  of  Congress.  The  Court  of  Appeals 
sustained  the  claim,  in  opposition  to  the  argument  of  Mr.  Tremain 
among  others.  Upon  appeal  to  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United 
States,  the  judgment  was  reversed,  but  not  upon  the  merits  of  the 
cjuestion,  and  that  Court  established  the  law  in  favor  of  the  right  to 
tax  the  shares,  upon  complying  with  the  act  of  Congress. 

"just  prior  to  the  close  of  the  war,  Mr.  Tremain  sustained  a 
terrible  affliction  in  the  loss  of  his  soldier  son,  Frederick,  who  died 
from  the  effects  of  a  wound  received  at  Hatcher's  Run,  while  he  was 
in  command  of  his  regiment  as  its  Lieutenant-Colonel.  The  grief  of 
the  parent  was  hard  to  look  upon,  and  many  a  time  did  it  seem  to 
him  th.it  he  could  reecho  the  expression  of  King  David  and  say, 
Would  (iod  that  I  had  died  for  thee.'  Still,  as  was  his  duty,  he 
kept  hard  at  work  at  his  profession,  down  to  the  time  of  his  first  voy- 
age to  Europe,  in  the  year  1S69.  During  this  time  he  was  engaged 
to  aid  the  District  Attorney  in  the  prosecution  of  General  Cole,  who 
had,  in  a  most  cowardly  manner,  shot  a  citi/en  while  he  was  engaged 
in  conversation  at  the  Stanwix  Hall  in  the  city  of  Albany.  The 
prisoner  had  been  an  officer  in  the  army,  and  had  a  brother  in  the 
Senate  of  the  United  States  from  California.  The  case  excited  the 
most  widespread  interest.  The  ablest  counsel  were  engaged  to  de- 
fend the  prisoner,  among  them  James  T.  Brady  and  William  A.  Beach. 
The  defense  was  insanity,  substantially,  though  the  real  ground  of 
the  shooting  was  alleged  to  have  been  the  criminal  intimacy  of  the 
deceased  with  the  wife  of  the  prisoner.  He  was  twice  tried  ;  once 
the  jury  disagreed,  and  the  second  time  the  prisoner  was  acquitted. 
Mr.  Tremain,  in  the  trial,  on  both  occasions,  exhibited  that  wonderful 
vigor  and  freshness,  and  a  power  of  sustained  reasoning  and  analysis, 
for  which  he  was  so  justly  renowned.  But  nothing  could  ov'ercome 
the  prejudices  of  a  jury  which  went  upon  the  assumption  that  the 
claim  of  the  prisoner,  in  regard  to  the  action  of  the  deceased  with 
the  prisoner's  wife,  was  true,  and.  being  true,  the  prisoner  ought  to

shoot.  That  was  the  meaning  of  the  verdict,  although  there  was  a 
thin  veil  of  insanity  running  through  the  case.  In  the  fall  of  1865 
the  Republican  party  made  many  nominations  for  the  Assembly  of 
remarkably  able  men,  acting  by  a  kind  of  general  understanding 
throughout  its  ranks.  Among  them,  Mr.  Tremain  was  nominated 
and  triumphantly  elected  ;  the  Hon.  Clark  B.  Cochrane  being  also 
elected  from  the  same  county.  Without  any  movement  on  his  part 
to  accomplish  such  end.  it  seemed  to  be  generally  assumed  that  he 
should  be  the  Speaker  and  he  was  elected  by  the  Republicans  to  that 
position  without  any  previous  legislative  experience,  and  he  presided 
over  the  session  of  the  Assembly  in  1866,  with  ability,  dignity  and 
impartiality. 

"During  the  whole  of  Mr.  Tremain 's  professional  life  he  had 
been  subject  to  frequent  and  most  agonizing  attacks  of  inriammatory 
rheumatism.  These  attacks  would  come  upon  him  with  almost  the 
suddenness  of  a  blow.  He  would  frequently  leave  his  office  at  night 
without  the  faintest  symptom  of  the  approach  of  the  dread  visitor, 
and  in  the  night  the  attack  would  come  upon  him  with  frightful  vio- 
lence, so  that  by  morning  he  would  be  utterly  helpless,  and  suffering 
most  excruciating  pain.  He  had  one  of  these  attacks,  and  about  as 
violent  a  one  as  he  ever  had,  just  after  entering  upon  the  duties  of 
the  office  of  Attorney-General.  He  suffered  for  weeks  from  this  at- 
tack, confined  to  the  bed  and  unable  to  move  or  help  himself.  After 
his  recovery,  so  far  as  to  be  able  to  get  out.  and  in  ihe  following 
summer,  he  went  to  Sharon  Springs  and  derived  great  benefit  from 
the  baths  at  that  celebrated  resort.  He  was  comparatively  free  from 
any  returns  of  his  enemy  for  some  time,  when  the  attacks  commenced 
again.  It  was  noticed  by  his  friends  that  these  attacks  were  very 
likely  to  follow  any  prolonged  confinement  in  the  bad  air  of  crowded 
court-houses,  but  "yet  such  was  the  buoyancy  and  hopefulness  of  his 
disposition,  that  he  no  sooner  felt  the  iron  grasp  of  the  disease  relax, 
than  he  was  impatient  to  be  again  at  his  work,  his  active  mind  dread- 
ing nothing  so  much  as  idleness.  But  for  the  few  years  preceding 
the  year  1869,  these  attacks  had  become  very  frequent  in  their  occur- 
rence, and  were  telling  upon  the  constitution  of  the  man.  He  finally 
decided  upon  taking  the  rest  which  he  so  much  needed,  and  which 
he  had  so  well  earned,  and  he  accordingly,  in  that  year,  sailed  for 
Europe  in  company  with  his  wife  and  daughter.     He  was  gone  about 


Seventh   Generation.  1065 

a  year,  visiting  Kngland.  France,  (jermany  and  Italy,  and,  during  the 
whole  of  his  trip,  was  absolutely  free  from  disease  or  pain  of  any 
kind,  and  returned  home  with  strength  renewed  and  energies  re- 
freshed, to  again  plunge  into  the  hard  work  of  his  beloved  profession. 
He  was  greeted,  upon  his  return  to  his  residence,  with  a  warm  wel- 
come and  a  kind  of  public  reception  at  the  hands  of  eminent  citizens, 
who  valued  the  sterling  qualities  of  the  man  and  the  neighbor.  In 
1872  his  name  was  prominently  mentioned  in  connection  with  the 
nomination  for  Governor,  but  he  declined  the  use  of  his  name  for 
that  high  office,  preferring  to  take  one  which  would  not  wholly  pre- 
vent him  from  practicing  his  profession.  Without  solicitation  on  his 
part,  he  was  nominated  unanimously  for  the  highly  honorable  office 
of  Congre.ssman-at-large  on  the  Republican  ticket,  and  was  elected 
with  the  rest  of  his  ticket  at  the  election  of  1872.  In  the  fall  of  187 1 
the  gigantic  frauds  of  the  Tweed  ring  had  been  made  public,  and  the 
popular  mind  had  been  stirred  to  its  very  depths  by  the  enormous 
system  of  fraud  and  rascality  which  had  been  developed.  Mayor 
Ilall  had  been  indicted  as  a  guilty  participant  in  the  frauds,  and  had 
been  placed  upon  his  trial.  Mr.  'Iremain,  in  connection  with  the 
Attorney-General's  office,  and  assisted  by  Mr.  Wheeler  H.  Peckham, 
of  New  York,  conducted  the  prosecution.  The  jury  disagreed.  In 
the  meantime,  the  chief  rascal  of  the  ring,  William  M.  Tweed,  had 
been  indicted.  He  was  placed  upon  trial,  but  such  was  the  power  of 
Tweed  and  his  friends,  that  even  when  he  stood  at  the  Bar  as  an 
accused  man,  he  was  able  to  make  himself  felt  in  the  jury  bo.\,  and 
and  an  agreement  was  not  among  the  possibilities.  Upon  this  trial, 
Mr.  Tremain  and  Mr.  Peckham  were  for  the  prosecution.  As  soon 
as  it  was  over,  the  prosecution  determined  that  there  should  be  no 
failure  of  justice  a  second  time.  The  trial  of  Tweed  was  again 
moved  in  the  Oyer  and  Terminer,  Judge  Noah  Davis  presiding,  in 
the  fall  of  1873.  Prior  to  that  time,  the  prosecution  had  had  the 
jury  list  for  that  term  thoroughly  examined,  and  the  history  of  every 
man  on  the  list  had  been  obtained,  so  that,  when  a  man  was  called  as 
a  juror,  the  prosecution  had  his  whole  history  before  them.  Mr, 
Tremain  and  Mr.  Peckham.  of  New  York,  assisted  the  District  Attor- 
ney upon  the  second  trial,  and  even  then,  with  all  their  care,  another 
failure  was  at  one  time  imminent,  by  reason  of  one  of  the  jurors,  who 
had  been  accepted,  giving  evidence  that  he  was  not  to  be  relied  upon 


io66  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

as  an  unbiased  man.  An  effort  was  made,  through  a  motion  to  the 
Court  to  that  effect,  to  open  the  case  and  renew  a  challenge  to  that 
juror.  The  motion  was  vehemently  opposed,  testimony  to  substan- 
tiate the  charges  of  the  prosecution  agiainst  the  juror  was  taken,  and 
the  result  was  the  Court  allowed  the  challenge  to  be  renewed,  and 
sustained  it,  and  set  aside  the  juror.  The  result  was  a  jury  of  hon- 
est, unbiased  men,  which  convicted  the  prisoner  upon  a  great  number 
of  counts  in  the  indictment,  which  was  for  a  misdemeanor.  A  motion 
was  made  for  sentence  upon  each  of  the  counts  upon  which  the  pris- 
oner was  convicted,  which  was  earnestly  opposed  by  his  counsel,  as 
illegal  and  beyond  the  power  of  the  Court  to  inllict.  The  Court, 
however,  decided  that  it  had  the  power,  and  then  proceeded  to  inHict 
such  sentence,  imposing  imprisonment  for  six  months  upon  a  number 
of  different  counts  in  the  indictment,  and  providing  that  each  six 
months  should  commence  upon  the  expiration  of  the  preceding  term, 
so  that  in  all  Tweed  was  sentenced  for  many  years  to  the  peniten- 
tiary. Thus  justice  triumphed  over  this  great  criminal,  who  was  sent 
to  prison  and  dressed  in  the  garb  of  a  convict.  Congratulations 
poured  in  upon  the  counsel  for  the  people  on  all  sides,  and  Mr.  Tre- 
main  had  the  satisfaction  of  feeling  that  he  had  been  instrumental  in 
bringing  to  punishment  this  great  rascal.  Subsequently,  upon  the 
expiration  of  the  first  six  months  of  liis  imprisonment,  the  counsel  of 
Tweed  sued  out  a  writ  of  habeas  corpus,  to  test  the  question  of  the  power 
of  the  Court  to  inflict  cumulative  sentences.  The  Supreme  Court 
sustained  the  power,  but  the  Court  of  Appeals  denied  it,  and  Tweed 
thus  escaped  the  further  term  of  imprisonment  under  the  sentence  of 
Oyer  and  Terminer.  Another  celebrated  trial  Mr.  Tremain  was  con- 
nected with  in  the  city  of  New  York,  as  senior  counsel,  that  of  the 
people  against  Stokes,  for  the  murder  of  James  Fisk,  Jr.,  Mr.  Tre- 
main being  retained  for  the  defense.  Stokes  was  convicted  of  murder 
in  the  first  degree.  The  sentiment  of  the  community  was  decidedly 
against  the  prisoner,  and  such  sentiment  made  itself  felt  in  the  jury 
box.  In  this  trial,  the  readiness  of  Mr.  Tremain,  his  quickness  in 
seeing  a  point,  and  the  accuracy  of  his  knowledge  of  the  fundamental 
principles  of  criminal  law,  w-ere  all  brought  into  constant  play.  Not 
a  movement  escaped  him  ;  not  a  word  fell  from  the  lips  of  witness, 
opposing  counsel,  or  from  the  Court,  that  he  did  not  fully  compre- 
hend, seize  upon  and  turn  to  his  own  advantage  as  far  as  possible. 


Seventh   Generation.  1067 

Wary,  cool,  collected  and  alert,  the  whole  man  was  instinct  with  life 
and  energy.  He  was  on  the  lookout  for  'exceptions.'  for  he  saw  at 
the  outset  that  the  stream  was  powerful,  and  that,  in  all  probability, 
he  could  not,  on  this  trial,  stem  it.  And  fortunate  was  it  for  the  life 
of  his  client  that  he  had  a  lawyer  to  defend  him  !  After  the  jury 
convicted  Stokes,  the  case  was  carried  to  the  Supreme  Court,  where 
the  conviction  was  affirmed,  the  Court  holding  that,  while  there  was 
error  in  the  charge  of  the  Judge  in  his  definition  of  murder  that  the 
law  inferred  malice  from  the  fact  of  the  killing,  instead  of  leaving  to 
the  jury  to  find  malice  as  a  fact:  yet  the  Court  thought  the  error  had 
not  been  prcxluctive  of  harm  to  the  prisoner  when  other  portions  of 
the  charge  were  examined.  The  case  was  taken  to  the  Court  of  Ap- 
peals, where  Mr.  Tremain  argued  it  with  an  ability  and  earnestness 
commensurate  with  its  importance.  The  Court  of  Appeals,  all  the 
judges  concurring,  held  the  charge  erroneous,  and  that,  under  such 
circumstances,  it  must  be  seen  that,  by  no  possibility,  could  such 
error  have  worked  harm  to  the  prisoner,  and,  as  they  could  not  say 
that  such  was  the  fact,  they  unanimously  reversed  the  conviction  and 
ordered  a  new  trial.  This  was  a  most  magnificent  triumph  for  Mr. 
Tremain.  and  well  had  he  earned  it  by  the  most  patient,  exhaustive 
and  unremitting  labor  and  diligence.  Upon  another  trial.  Judge 
Davis  presided,  and  held  the  law  sternly,  showmg  no  favors  to  the 
prisoner.  Mr.  Tremain  again  defended  him.  and  the  trial  resulted  in 
a  verdict  of  manslaughter,  and  a  sentence  to  the  State  prison  for  four 
years.  But  these  gigantic  labors  were  telling  upon  the  constitution 
of  Mr.  Tremain.  So  exhausted  was  he  when  he  finished  the  last  trial 
of  Stokes,  that  he  went  to  sleep  at  the  dinner  table  at  his  hotel ! 
During  the  trial,  also,  he  was  suffering  more  or  less  from  the  attacks 
of  his  old  enemy,  which  seemed  to  delight  in  fastening  upon  his  vic- 
tim when  he  was  least  able  to  resist  such  attacks.  Yet,  as  the  session 
of  Congress  approached,  he  went  to  Washington  to  take  his  seat  as 
representative  at  large  from  the  Empire  State.  His  reputation  had 
preceded  him.  and.  without  eflfort  on  his  part,  he  was  accorded  an 
honorable  position  on  the  judiciary  committee  of  the  House.  Mr. 
Tremain  took  rank  at  once  among  the  leaders  of  the  House,  and, 
although  at  times  suffering  greatly  from  repeated  attacks  of  his  old 
foe,  was,  nevertheless,  an  earnest,  and  attentive,  and  able  representa- 
tive of  his  great  constituency.     Among  the  ablest  of  his  speeches  was 


io68  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

that  upon  the  subject  of  the  disposition  of  the  balance  of  the  moneys 
received  from  England  by  virtue  of  the  Geneva  award.  Upon  that 
question  Mr.  Tremain  had  no  doubt.  He  examined  it  with  great 
care  and  made  a  most  exhaustive  speech  upon  it.  taking  the  ground 
that,  in  equity,  those  who  had  paid  the  losses  suffered  by  the  assured, 
were  subrogated  to  their  rights,  and  ought  to  be  paid  such  money. 
He  was  not  able  to  carrv  a  bill  embodying  such  provisions,  however, 
and  no  steps  were  taken  in  the  matter  in  that  Congress.  His  Con- 
gressional career  closed  with  the  term  for  which  he  was  elected, 
March,  1875,  and  he  found  himself  weakened  and  suffering  from  the 
repeated  attacks  of  disease  which  he  had  had  during  his  residence  in 
Washington,  greatly  aggravated  by  the  bad  air  of  the  House.  He 
came  to  Albany,  but  found  himself  unable  to  press  into  business  with 
his  old  vigor,  and,  almost  for  the  first  time,  his  spirits  became  de- 
pressed as  he  began  to  realize  that  his  health  had  become  seriously 
impaired  by  the  constant  strains  from  mental  labor  and  from  disease 
to  which  he  had  been  subjected.  He  took  another  voyage  to  Europe 
with  his  wife,  and.  although  relieved  somewhat,  he  could  not  say 
what  he  said  of  his  other  tour,  that  he  had  not  felt  an  ache  or  a  pain 
during  his  absence,  for  he  had,  while  in  Europe  on  this  occasion, 
several  attacks  of  his  malady.  He  came  home,  however,  much  im- 
proved, though  not  restored  to  his  full  health  and  strength.  He  soon 
entered  upon  the  defense  of  Frederick  Smith,  indicted  for  murder, 
whose  trial  came  off  at  the  Fulton  Oyer  and  Terminer  early  in  the 
year  1876.  The  case  was  a  most  exciting  one,  and  the  little  county 
of  Fulton  was  stirred  to  the  very  center.  Public  opinion  was  ver}' 
strongly  against  the  accused,  and  the  evidence  which  the  prosecution 
brought  to  bear  was  pointed  and  strong.  The  Court  felt  as  if  a  con- 
viction should  be  had,  and  tried  the  case  without  any  sentiment 
towards  the  prisoner.  The  air  in  the  little  court-room,  which  was 
crowded  to  its  utmost  capacity  at  all  times,  soon  became  almost  un- 
bearable, and  acted  like  poison  upon  Mr.  Tremain,  already  weakened 
from  the  incessant  attacks  of  his  disease.  He  became  quite  ill,  so 
that  the  Court  had  to  adjourn  for  him  ;  and  when  he  was  not  in 
Court,  he  passed  his  time  on  the  bed.  But  his  spirit  was  indomitable, 
and  he  meant  to  go  through  with  the  case  and  discharge  his  full  duty 
to  his  client  if  it  were  physically  possible  for  him  so  to  do.  He  made 
a  magnificent  argument  to  the  jury,  his  whole  mind,  seemingly,  being 


Seventh   Generation.  1069 

alive  to  the  importance  of  the  case  to  his  client ;  and  he  stood  before 
the  jury  for  hours,  pleading  with  them  by  turns  with  all  his  old-time 
charm  of  voice  and  manner,  and  then  clearly  and  forcibly  disintegrat- 
ing the  evidence  for  the  prosecution,  and  denouncing,  in  deep  and 
stern  tones,  the  flimsy  character  of  the  people's  evidence.  All  this 
he  did,  ably,  forcibly,  eloquently,  and  while  he  was  a  suffering  and 
broken-down  man  ;  the  flesh  being  weak,  but  the  spirit  within  rising 
high  and  clear  above  its  weakness.  The  jur)-  acquitted  the  prisoner, 
and  there  can  be  no  doubt  that  such  verdict  was  due  to  the  able 
manner  in  which  Mr.  Tremain  tried  the  cause,  and  to  the  magnificent 
manner  of  his  summing  up.  The  case  was  won,  and  Mr.  Tremain 
returned  to  Albany,  worn  out  in  body,  suffering  greatly,  yet  much 
gratified  at  the  success  of  his  efforts. 

"This  was  the  last  important  cause  which  Mr.  Tremain  ever 
tried,  liih  strength  seemed  never  to  return  to  him  after  he  had 
finished  this  trial.  He  had  great  difViculty  in  breathing,  and  his 
spirits  became  very  much  depressed.  He  came  to  his  office,  but 
failed  to  get  back  his  strength,  and  looked  on  at  the  business  of  his 
partners,  who  were,  one  of  them  Rufus  W.  Peckham,  the  son  of  his 
old  friend,  and  the  other  his  son,  Grenville  Tremain.  When  Judge 
Peckham  went  upon  the  Bench  in  i860,  Mr.  Tremain  formed  a  part- 
nership with  a  son  of  the  Judge,  Rufus  \V.,  Jr.,  which  was  continued 
substantially  to  the  time  of  the  death  of  Mr.  Tremain.  In  1868  the 
firm  was  enlarged  by  Mr.  Tremain's  son,  (irenville.  coming  into  it. 
which  continued  with  all  three  until  the  sad  and  untimely  death  of 
Grenville  in  March,  1878.  At  that  time  Mr.  Tremain  was  laboring 
under  serious  illness  ;  so  serious  that  he  could  not  get  out  of  his  room 
to  look  a  last  time  upon  the  face  of  his  last  remaining  son. 

"In  1877  the  Republican  party,  without  solicitation  from  either 
father  or  son.  and  as  a  compliment  to  both,  as  graceful  as  it  was 
merited,  nominated,  by  acclamation,  Grenville,  the  only  surviving  son 
of  Mr.  Tremain.  for  the  office  of  Attorney-General.  The  ticket  was 
not  successful  in  the  State,  but  here,  where  both  were  so  well  known, 
the  son  received  a  most  flattering  vote,  running  largely  ahead  of  his 
ticket,  and  receiving  a  majority  of  votes  in  Albany  county.  This 
young  man,  so  gifted,  so  winning,  so  eloquent,  who  stood  in  the  very 
inmost  recesses  of  his  father's  heart,  was  suddenly,  and  what  seemed 
the  flood-tide  of  health  and  strength,  stricken  down  by  his  fatal  illness. 


loyo  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

and,  after  struggling  for  a  few  days,  died.  The  blow  was  a  terrible 
one,  and  many  a  time  the  father  uttered  his  astonishment  that  he  was 
left  and  Grenville  taken.  He  never  recovered  from  the  blow,  but 
lingered  through  the  summer  and  fall,  and  died  on  the  30th  day  of 
November,  1878,  at  the  Gilsey  House  in  New  York. 

"In  his  private  life,  among  his  friends  and  at  his  own  home.  Mr. 
Tremain  was  one  of  the  most  charming  and  agreeable  of  men.  There 
was  a  brightness  in  his  ver)'  presence,  and  cheerfulness  and  good 
humor  were  his  characteristics.  He  was  the  idol  of  his  house,  and 
all  were  busy  in  efforts  to  minister  to  his  comfort.  The  disease  which 
has  been  spoken  of,  and  which  so  frequently  attacked  Mr.  Tremain, 
was,  as  has  been  said,  most  painful.  The  suffering  he  endured  was 
sometimes  agonizing.  And  yet,  during  all  the  years  of  his  life,  when 
the  attacks  came  on ;  and  when,  thereby,  all  his  plans  were  disar- 
ranged and  confusion  took  the  place  of  order :  and,  later  on,  when  he 
saw  himself  debarred  from  the  exercise  of  those  unusual  talents  which 
nature  had  given  him,  and  while  he  was  compelled  to  live  in  silence 
and  enforced  idleness  as  to  his  profession  ;  yet,  during  and  under  all 
these  trials,  pains,  sufferings  in  mind  and  body,  those  who  were  near- 
est to  him  never  heard  a  complaint  or  a  murmur  against  the  fate 
which  he  was  so  bravely  meeting.  Mr,  Tremain  had  been,  for  many 
years,  an  active  and  earnest  member  of  St.  Peter's  Episcopal  Church 
in  the  city  of  Albany,  and  died  a  member  of  that  parish. 

"The  foregoing  is,  comparatively,  a  brief  sketch  of  the  useful 
and  busy  life  of  Mr.  Tremain.  As  a  lawyer  he  stood  among  the 
leaders  of  his  profession  in  the  State.  There  will  be  no  denial  of  the 
fact  that  he  was  a  most  wonderfully  successful  man  before  a  jury.  He 
was  of  commanding  presence,  and  looked  to  be  a  full  man,  as  well  as 
acted  up  to  that  measure.  When  trying  a  case  before  a  jury,  while 
always  respectful  and  gentlemanly  in  his  demeanor  to  the  Court,  yet, 
from  the  moment  he  sat  down  to  the  trial,  his  eye,  his  mind,  his  full 
attention,  were  all  given  to  the  jury.  He  endeavored  to  establish 
kindly  relations  between  himself  and  them,  and  that  by  a  sort  of  free- 
masonry that  it  is  about  impossible  to  describe  and  rare  to  see 
imitated.  This  was  all  in  the  presence  of  the  Court  and  during  the 
actual  trial,  for  of  course  it  goes  without  saying  that  he  would  have 
scorned  to  speak  to  a  jury^man  outside  of  the  Court.  But  he  im- 
pressed upon  the  jur}-  an  idea  of  his  own  faith  in  the  case,  and  he 


Seventh   Generation.  1071 

would  give  them  such  plausible  reasons  for  that  faith,  and  he  would 
argue  at  one  moment  so  smoothly,  and  at  another  plead  so  strongly. 
and  yet  again  denounce  in  thunder  tones  and  with  a  righteous  wrath 
and  an  indignant  gesture,  that,  altogether  and  in  combination,  the 
effect  upon  the  jury  was  miraculous,  and  many  a  verdict  he  has 
snatched  from  the  very  edge  of  defeat  by  this  wonderful  power  he 
had  with  the  twelve  men  in  the  box.  In  addition  to  that,  he  was 
always  in  the  trial  wary  and  cool,  looking  out  for  'exceptions'  in  case 
of  an  adverse  result,  so  that  he  might  have  a  chance  to  reverse  and 
try  again.  Before  the  Court  in  banc,  he  was  always  dignified  and 
courteous  (as  he  was  everywhere),  and  came  before  the  Court  fully 
prepared  to  argue  his  cause.  He  was  not  what  might  be  termed  a 
case  lawyer,  but  he  was  astonishingly  familiar  with  the  principles  of 
the  law,  and  he  was  able  to  and  did  reason  clearly  and  intelligently 
upon  such  principles.  He  had  great  powers  of  analysis,  and  would 
point  out  a  distinction,  or  discover  a  similarity  between  two  cases,  with 
great  readiness  and  with  great  ability.  He  did  not  despise  an  author- 
ity, and  no  man's  brief  betrayed  the  fact  more  clearly  that  he  had  had 
access  to  the  authorities  and  availed  himself  of  their  aid.  Hut  he 
was  never  smothered  by  them.  They  never  mastered  him.  He  took 
them,  examined  them,  mastered  them,  and  used  or  distinguished 
them  with  clearness  and  force.  That  he  should  be  taken  from  us.  in 
the  very  zenith  of  his  powers,  with  a  capacity  for  future  usefulness  as 
measured  by  the  natural  age  of  man,  not  filled  by  many  years  yet,  is 
difhcult  to  understand  or  appreciate  the  reason  for.  But  the  memory 
of  such  a  life  should  not  be  permitted  to  go  out  with  the  lives  of 
those  who  knew  Mr.  I'remain.  It  should  be  made  more  permanent, 
and  for  that  end,  the  foregoing  outline  of  his  honorable  life  has  been 
given."

220500.  Col.  Frldkrick  Tremain.  5441.  The  following 
is  taken  from  a  memoir  of  him  written  by  his  father  : 

'Frederick  J>yman  Tremain  was  the  eldest  child  of  Lyman  and 
Helen  Cornwall  Tremain,  and  was  born  at  Durham,  Greene  county, 
N.  Y.,  on  the  13th  of  June,  1843.  He  died  at  City  Point  Hospital, 
Virginia,  on  the  8th  of  Eebruary,  1865,  from  a  gunshot  wound  re- 
ceived in  battle,  near  Hatcher's  Run,  on  the  6th  of  Eebruary,  being 
21  years,  7  months  and  24  days  old,  at  the  time  of  his  death. 

"Of  his  ancestry,  all  that  I  propose  to  state  in  this  connection  is, 
that  he  descended,  both  on  his  father's  and  mother's  side,  from  revo- 
lutionary stock.  His  paternal  great-grandfather.  Nathaniel  Tremain, 
was  a  soldier  of  the  Revolutionary  War,  who  died,  highly  esteemed 
and  respected,  at  Pittsfield,  Berkshire  county,  Mass.  His  maternal 
great-grandfather.  Captain  Dan.  Cornwall,  was  also  a  soldier  of  the 
Revolution,  and  a  worthy  citizen,  who  died  at  Cornwallsville,  Greene 
county,  N.  Y. 

"In  his  boyish  career,  there  is  little  to  record,  which  is  worthy 
of  special  notice.  While  he  was  by  no  means  precocious,  he  was  a 
remarkably  bright,  intelligent  and  active  boy.  His  nature  was  so 
genial  and  generous  that  he  was  always  a  favorite,  not  only  with  his 
youthful  comrades,  but  with  all  who  were  brought  in  contact  with  him. 

"He  had  a  remarkable  facility  in  the  acquisition  of  knowledge, 
and,  apparently  without  effort,  mastered  whatever  lessons  were  re- 
quired of  him,  in  and  out  of  school.     In  all   his  boyish   sports   and 


COLONEI,     FREDERICK     TREMAINE 


Eighth    Generation.  1075 

athletic  exercises,  he  was  an  acknowledged  leader.  He  displayed 
then,  and  through  his  subsequent  life,  an  unusual  degree  of  mechani- 
cal ingenuity. 

"There  was  one  trait  in  his  character  which  was  developed  at  a 
very  early  period,  and  which  became,  afterwards,  prominent  and  ex- 
traordinary. This  was  his  wonderful  courage,  coolness  and  self- 
reliance.  Many  instances  to  illustrate  this  characteristic  might  be 
related,  commencing  as  early  as  when  he  was  three  years  old,  but  I 
refrain  from  giving  them  a  place  here,  fearful  that  their  publication 
might  be  ascribed  to  an  overweening  parental  fondness.  (Juick  in 
fornnng  his  conclusions,  prompt  in  action,  fertile  in  resources,  obsta- 
cles and  difficulties  served  only  to  stimulate  him  in  the  execution  of 
his  purposes,  and  rare,  very  rare,  was  the  instance,  so  rare,  indeed, 
that  no  case  can  be  now  recalled,  in  which  he  failed  to  accomplish, 
successfully,  whatever  he  undertook. 

"His  religious  education  was  carefully  attended  to,  and,  at  an 
early  age,  he  received  the  holy  rite  of  baptism,  in  the  Protestant 
Episcopal  Church,  at  Oak  Hill,  under  the  ministration  of  the  Rev.  L. 
A.  Harrows.  The  following  extract  is  from  a  letter  received  from 
this  faithful  minister  and  good  man.  written  at  Norfolk.  St.  Lawrence 
county,  his  present  residence.  'We  feel  to  deeply  sympathize  with 
you  under  the  dark  cloud  which  this  sudden  and  unexpected  bereave- 
ment has  thrown  over  you.  Since  such  is  the  melancholy  fact  that  a 
dear  child,  a  brilliant  youth,  in  the  defence  of  his  countr)-.  has  been 
called  from  your  paternal  embrace,  let  faith  lift  the  veil,  and  view  in 
a  world  of  bliss,  future  scenes  more  glorious  than  could  have  been 
won  here  on  battle  fields.  Frederick  is  gone.  I  placed  the  form  of 
the  cross  upon  his  forehead,  and.  as  in  life,  so  in  death,  let  us  believe 
that  he  triumphed  over  the  spiritual  enemy  and  is  now  rejoicing  in 
the  kingdom  of  God.'  Here  let  me  add,  that,  after  his  death,  there 
was  found  in  his  camp  tent,  carefully  preserved,  a  copy  of  the  Holy 
Bible  given  to  him  by  his  dear  mother,  with  a  mark  placed  at  chap- 
ters five  and  six  of  Matthew,  which  contain  that  sublime  and  com- 
prehensive epitome  of  man's  whole  duty,  Christ's  sermon  on  the 
mount. 

"In  November,  1853,  he  removed,  with  his  father's  family,  from 
Durham  to  the  city  of  Albany,  where  he  continued  to  reside  until  his 
death.     Here  several  years  were  passed  in  faithful  and  diligent  study, 


1076  History  of  the  Trkman  Family. 

preparatory  to  his  college  education.  The  schools  he  attended,  in 
the  city,  were  the  Albany  Boys'  Academy,  and,  afterwards,  the  Classi- 
cal Institute,  in  Eagle  street,  of  which  Professor  Charles  H.  Anthony 
was  Principal.  Under  the  instruction  of  this  excellent  and  faithful 
teacher  he  spent  between  two  and  three  years  of  his  life.  Between 
Mr.  Anthony  and  his  young  pupil,  relations  of  friendship  were  con- 
tracted, which  continued  in  full  force  to  the  end.  'I'he  photograph  of 
this  teacher  of  his  boyhood  was  found,  after  his  death,  among  the 
valued  memorials  in  his  army  trunk. 

"In  the  spring  of  1858,  Frederick  entered  the  Classical  school 
for  boys,  under  the  charge  of  Mr.  James  Sedgwick,  at  Great  Barring- 
ton,  Mass.  In  this  beautiful  New  Kngland  village,  he  remained  pur- 
suing his  studies,  and  attracting  the  alTectionate  regard  of  teachers 
and  schoolmates,  for  one  year. 

"In  the  spring  of  1859,  Frederick  became  a  pupil  in  the  cele- 
brated school  for  boys,  under  the  charge  of  the  Rev.  Thomas  C. 
Reed,  D.I).,  at  Walnut  Hill,  Geneva.  He  continued  in  Doctor 
Reed's  school  until  the  summer  of  i860,  when  several  of  his  school 
companions  were  examined  for  admission  into  Ilobart  College,  Gene- 
va, and  Frederick,  who  had  formed  very  strong  attachments  with 
them,  also  applied,  and  passed  his  examination,  and  having  been  found 
qualified,  was  admitted  into  the  Freshman  Class  and  entered  that 
college,  at  the  commencement  of  the  college  year,  in  September,  i860. 

"The  two  years,  or  nearly  two  years,  of  his  college  life  were 
marked  by  no  unusual  incidents.  Many  warm  friendships  were 
formed,  a;nd  his  genial  and  unselfish  character,  as  well  as  his  excel- 
lent natural  abilities,  were  duly  appreciated. 

"Nor  was  he  backward  in  performing  his  full  share  in  the  mis- 
chief-loving scrapes  in  which,  from  time  immemorial,  boys  in  college 
have  been  accustomed  to  take  part.  He  was  proud  of  the  secret 
society  of  which  he  became  a  member,  and  contributed,  to  the  extent 
of  his  ability,  to  promote  its  power  and  influence.  In  brief,  during 
the  three  years  and  upwards  that  he  was  pursuing  his  studies  in  this 
most  beautiful  village,  surrounded  by  the  delightful  scenery  which 
nature  has  lavished  there  with  such  bountiful  profusion,  he  was  con- 
stantly acquiring  that  education  which  enabled  him,  in  after  life,  to 
master  with  facility  the  duties  of  the  responsible  and  arduous  posi- 
tions which  he  was  called  to  hold. 


Eighth    Generation.  1077 

"By  the  tiring  upon  Fort  Sumter,  his  patriotism  was  aroused, 
and  he  experienced  an  ardent  desire  to  become  a  volunteer  in  the 
army  of  the  Union.  About  this  time,  the  people  of  Geneva  were  en- 
gaged in  organizing  an  engineer  corps,  under  the  command  of  Mr. 
Charles  H.  Stuart,  formerly  State  Engineer  and  Surveyor.  Frederick 
desired  to  enlist,  and  applied  to  his  father  for  his  permission,  but, 
there  being  at  that  time,  no  difficulty  in  procuring  volunteers,  and  his 
college  career  having  commenced  only  the  fall  before,  the  paternal 
consent  was  then  withheld,  not  finally,  but  for  the  present. 

"In  December.  1861.  the  annual  sophomore  exercises  in  public 
speaking  took  place,  and  Frederick  was  selected  as  one  of  the  thir- 
teen speakers  of  his  class  to  participate  in  them.  In  a  letter  inviting 
his  parents  to  attend  he  writes.  I  think  you  will  not  hear  any  bad 
speaking,  but.  on  the  contrary',  will  hear  much  good  speaking  on  the 
occasion."  The  exhibition  took  place  at  Linden  Hall,  in  the  presence 
of  a  large  and  intelligent  audience,  and  he  acquitted  himself  quite 
creditably.  In  the  Geneva  (}azette.  his  performance  was  specially 
mentioned  in  complimentary  and  flattering  terms. 

"During  the  summer  of  1862.  after  the  President's  call  for  more 
men  appeared,  FredeHck.  who  had  never  for  a  moment  relinquished 
his  desire  to  enter  the  army,  again  urged  his  father  to  yield  his  con- 
sent. The  author  was  thus  brought  face  to  face  with  the  stern  reality 
of  war,  and  was  called  upon  to  determine  the  question  whether  the 
application  of  this  loved  son  should  be  granted  or  denied.  He  had, 
from  the  commencement  of  the  great  conflict,  labored,  to  the  extent 
of  his  ability,  to  convince  his  countrymen,  that  it  was  their  duty  to 
sustain  the  government  and  overthrow  the  rebellion.  He  had  exerted 
whatever  influence  he  possessed,  by  public  addresses,  and  in  various 
other  modes,  to  induce  men  to  take  the  field  against  the  enemies  of 
the  country.  The  conviction  that  it  was  the  solemn  duty  of  every 
American  citizen  to  sustain  the  authority  and  preserve  the  life  of  the 
nation  at  any  and  all  sacrifices,  was  as  full  and  complete  as  the 
human  mind  was  capable  of  entertaining.  This  conviction  formed  a 
part  of  his  ver)^  being,  and  he  believed  that,  in  this  great  crisis  of  the 
nation's  peril,  his  duty  to  his  beloved  country  was  second  only  to  his 
duty  to  his  God. 

"Frederick  immediately  began  his  arrangements  for  the  new 
field  of  duty,  with  great  earnestness  and   energy.     He   had  already

become  a  member  of  Company  A,  of  the  Zouave  Cadets,  a  uniformed 
company  in  the  loth  Regiment  of  Militia,  and  had  been  engaged  in 
acquiring  the  drill  and  the  necessary  military  science.  This  com- 
pany has  become  highly  distinguished  during  the  war.  It  can  point, 
on  its  muster  rolls,  to  many  names  among  the  noblest,  most  gifted 
and  patriotic  of  the  young  men  of  Albany.  It  has  already  sent  more 
than  ninety  of  its  members  to  the  held,  each  one  of  whom  has  earned 
and  obtained  a  commission,  many  of  high  rank,  and  all  of  respectable 
position. 

"Having  obtained  from  Hobart  College,  an  honorable  dismissal, 
his  attention  was  immediately  devoted  to  the  new  regiment  of  infan- 
try, known  as  the  1 13th  regiment  of  New  York  volunteers,  which  was 
then  in  the  process  of  being  organized  in  the  city  of  Albany. 

"P'or  the  purpose  of  organizing  this  regiment.  His  Excellency, 
Governor  Morgan,  had  designated  a  war  committee,  embracing  some 
of  the  most  patriotic  and  inriuential  citizens  of  Albany,  and  the  com- 
mittee held  daily  sessions  at  the  Mayor's  room  in  the  City  Hall.  It 
was  resolved  to  make  this  regiment  one  of  the  best  that  had  been 
sent  forth  from  the  State.  The  Ciovernor  had  entrusted  to  the  com- 
mittee the  duty  of  recommending  suitable  persons  to  obtain  authori- 
zation papers,  to  recruit  volunteers  with  reference  to  having  commis- 
sions, as  lieutenants  and  captains,  issued  to  those  who  were  able  to 
recruit  the  requisite  number  of  men. 

"Frederick  promptly  applied  to  the  committee,  and  was  the  first 
person  who  received  from  the  Adjutant  General,  on  the  recommenda- 
tion of  the  committee,  authority  to  obtain  recruits  for  the  new  regi- 
ment. He  erected  his  tent  in  front  of  Capitol  Park,  in  State  street, 
issued  his  posters,  associated  with  him  young  Orr  and  young  McEwen 
(the  former  of  whom  has  since  lost  his  life,  in  the  army,  and  the  latter 
is  now  Judge  Advocate  of  the  first  division,  second  army  corps,  hav- 
ing been  for  some  time  a  prisoner  at  Libby  Prison,  Richmond),  and 
proceeded  with  vigor  and  energ}%  to  obtain  volunteers.  Indeed,  the 
real  manhood  of  his  character  was  displayed  from  the  moment  he 
felt  the  responsibilities  of  his  position,  and  continued  to  manifest 
itself,  more  and  more  clearly,  in  every  subsequent  stage  of  his  career. 

"The  late  Adjutant  General,  John  T.  Sprague,  then  a  Major  in 
the  United  States  army,  was  on  duty  for  the  Government,  at  Albany, 
as  an  auditing  and   disbursing  officer.     The   war   committee   unani- 


Eighth    Generation.  1079 

mously  designated  him  as  the  Colonel  of  the  new  regiment,  and  he 
accepted  the  position.  The  Government  at  Washington,  however, 
soon  after  this,  declined  to  relieve  him  from  duty  in  the  regular  army, 
and,  hence,  he  was  only  enabled  to  act  as  Colonel  for  a  very  few 
days.  During  that  time,  however,  discovering  the  necessity  of  an 
Adjutant  for  the  regiment,  and  being  acquainted  with  Frederick, 
Colonel  Sprague  kindly  tendered  him  the  position  of  Adjutant.  It 
was  accepted,  and  his  selection  approved  by  Governor  Morgan. 

"In  the  time  that  intervened  prior  to  the  period  when  the  regi- 
ment left  Albany,  which  was  about  thirty  days,  the  whole  duty  of 
organizing  it,  and  getting  it  into  proper  working  order,  devolved  upon 
the  new  Adjutant.  The  Colonel  (Morris)  did  not  arrive  until  a  very 
short  time  before  the  regiment  moved.  No  other  field  officer  was 
selected  until  a  day  or  two  prior  to  that  time,  and  the  only  other 
officer,  besides  the  Adjutant,  was  Doctor  Pomfrct,  Surgeon,  whose 
duties  were  confined  to  the  surgical  and  niedical  department. 

"To  the  faithful  discharge  of  these  duties,  Frederick  devoted 
himself,  days  and  nights,  dividing  his  time  between  the  headquarters 
in  Broadway,  and  the  barracks.  Mow  readily  he  mastered  those 
duties,  and  how  well  he  performed  them,  may  be  inferred  from  the 
letter  of  Doctor  Pomfret,  the  present  Surgeon  General  of  the  State  of 
New  York,  and  from  the  frequent  compliments  bestowed  upon  him 
by  the  committee,  who  were  superintending  his  movements,  and  who 
were  surprised  and  gratified  by  the  qualities  he  exhibited.  If  any 
apprehensions  had  been  entertained,  by  reason  of  the  Adjutant's 
youth,  it  is  believed  they  were  entirely  and  speedily  dispelled. 

"About  the  19th  of  August,  1862,  the  113th  regiment,  with  1060 
bayonets,  left  the  city  of  Albany,  under  orders  to  report  at  Washing- 
ton. It  was  one  of  the  first  regiments  placed  in  the  field,  under  the 
President's  call,  and  received  a  beautiful  stand  of  colors,  as  well  as 
the  Springfield  muskets,  which  had  been  promised  to  each  of  the  first 
four  regiments.  A  finer  regiment,  or  one  carrying  with  it  so  many 
good  wishes  and  so  much  interest,  on  the  part  of  Albanians,  never 
left  our  city. 

"Of  that  noble  body  of  men  how  few,  alas,  now  survive  !  The 
brave  Col,  Lewis  O.  Morris  fell,  gallantly  fighting  at  the  head  of  his 
regiment,  at  Spottsylvania  Court  House,  in  the  summer  of  1864.  Be- 
tween him  and  Frederick  there  soon  sprung  up,  and  always  existed, 
mutual  esteem  and  regard. 


io8o  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

"When  the  regiment  reached  Washington,  the  officer  in  charge 
of  its  defences,  knowing  the  skill  of  Colonel  Morris  as  an  artillery 
officer,  procured  the  assignment  of  the  regiment  to  duty  upon  the  de- 
fences of  the  city,  where  it  was,  not  long  afterwards,  converted  into 
the  7th  New  York  artillery. 

"The  ensuing  fifteen  months  were  passed  by  Frederick,  with  his 
regiment,  near  Fort  Reno,  about  five  miles  from  Washington.  He 
applied  himself,  diligently,  to  the  acquisition  of  the  knowledge  re- 
quired in  the  artillery  service.  Part  of  the  time,  he  was  engaged  in 
teaching  a  school  of  officers  in  military  tactics.  He  devoted  himself 
faithfully  to  the  performance  of  his  official  duties.  Twice  I  had  the 
pleasure  of  visiting  him  there,  and  could  not  fail  to  discover  that  he 
was  a  universal  favorite  with  the  officers  and  men. 

"He  became  thoroughly  familiar  with  his  new  profession.  About 
the  time  of  leaving  the  regiment,  he  happened  one  day  to  be  engaged 
with  a  brother  officer,  in  discussing  the  subject  of  being  e.xamined  as 
to  qualifications  before  a  military  board  in  session  at  Washington, 
when  Frederick  volunteered  to  be  examined.  His  duties  called  him 
frequently  to  Washington,  and  soon  afterwards  he  presented  himself 
before  the  board,  and  was  subjected  to  a  thorough  e.xamination,  the 
result  of  which  was  that  he  passed  the  examination  successfully,  and 
was  tendered,  in  a  few  days,  a  Lieutenant  Colonel's  commission  in  a 
colored  regiment,  but,  meantime,  he  had  received  another  appoint- 
ment which  he  preferred. 

"On  the  most  elevated  ground  in  the  District  of  Columbia,  about 
six  miles  from  the  Capitol,  stands  Fort  Reno,  formerly  called  Fort 
Pennsylvania.  Within  a  short  distance  from  the  fort,  and  upon  a 
level  plain,  may  yet  be  seen  the  little  village  of  log  cabins,  laid  out 
into  streets,  which  was  built  for  the  accommodation  of  the  7th  New 
York  artillery.  Upon  one  side,  near  by,  stand  the  hospital  and  the 
office  for  the  surgeon,  as  well  as  the  house  erected  for  the  use  of 
Ur.  Pomfret,  and  occupied  by  that  skilful  and  noble  hearted  surgeon, 
with  his  family,  during  the  fifteen  months  that  the  regiment  remained 
upon  the  defences  of  Washington. 

"On  the  other  side  are  a  few  officers"  cabins  or  huts,  and  one  of 
these,  more  tasteful  than  its  neighbors,  with  a  little  piazza  at  each 
end,  was  the  'Adjutant  quarters,'  constructed  for,  and  under  the 
superintendence  of,  the  subject  of  this  sketch. 


Eighth    Generation.  io8i 

''Frederick  was  a  universal  favorite  among  the  common  soldiers. 
He  always  treated  them  with  kindness  and  justice.  Quick  to  dis- 
cover real  merit  in  a  private,  and  mingling  much  with  the  men,  his 
opinions  concerning  promotions  had  great  influence  with  Colonel 
Morris,  and  many  a  deserving  soldier  has  been  indebted  for  his  pro- 
motion from  the  ranks,  to  the  aid  and  recommendation  of  the  Adjutant. 

"He  began,  after  more  than  a  year  had  elapsed,  and  still  no  or- 
ders to  move  came,  to  desire  more  active  service.  The  conversion 
of  his  regiment  into  an  artillery  regiment,  thus  placing  it  in  a  higher 
branch  of  service,  had  been  gratifying  to  him,  but  he  had  not  antici- 
pated so  long  a  continuance  of  garrison  duty,  and,  having  reason  to 
believe  that  the  regiment  might  remain  doing  that  duty  for  a  long 
time,  and  perhaps  until  the  end  of  the  war,  his  active  spirit  began  to 
chafe  under  the  monotony  of  his  present  life.  Animated  by  an  hon- 
orable ambition,  he  could  not  enjoy  a  life  of  inglorious  ease. 

•Ik-  wrote  several  letters  to  the  author,  expressing  these  feelings, 
and  desiring  his  aid  in  obtaining  a  position  where  he  might  have  an 
opportunity  to  acquire  distinction,  and  strike  a  blow  at  the  enemies 
of  his  country. 

"Influenced  by  these  appeals,  the  author  applied  for,  and  in 
November,  obtained,  for  Frederick,  a  Presidential  appointment  as 
Assistant  Adjutant  (Jeneral,  with  the  rank  of  Captain  ;  an  appoint- 
ment which  was  subsequently  confirmed  by  the  Senate.  I  was  pres- 
ent when  this  appointment  was  handed  to  him  by  that  devoted  patriot 
and  able  cabinet  officer,  Edwin  M.  Stanton.  He  observed  as  he  gave 
it.  'I  trust  I  shall  hereafter  have  the  pleasure  of  conferring  on  you 
higher  honors;'  to  which  Frederick  modestly  replied,  'I  hope  my 
future  conduct  will  give  you  no  reason  to  regret  the  confidence  re- 
posed in  me.' 

"Frederick  had  learned  of  the  reputation  already  acquired  by 
that  brave  and  rising  young  General,  Henry  E.  Davies,  Jr.,  of  the 
cavalry  service,  and  he  asked  for  and  obtained  an  order  to  report  to 
him  for  duty.  His  departure  from  the  old  7th  Regiment  was  the 
occasion  for  much  regrets,  with  officers  and  men,  and  with  himself. 
The  officers  assembled  to  bid  him  an  affectionate  farewell,  and  the 
regimental  band  serenaded  him  on  the  eve  of  his  departure.  This 
noble  regiment  took  the  field  the  following  spring  with  more  than 
1760  bayonets,  and  of  these  brave  men,  how  few,  either  officers  or 
men,  are  now  surviving! 


io82  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

"On  the  12th  of  November,  soon  after  his  departure,  Colonel 
Morris  issued  an  order  appointing  his  successor,  which  was  duly 
made  public,  and  contained  the  following  handsome  allusion  to  the 
late  Adjutant. 

"  'The  Colonel  commanding  while  he  rejoices  at  the  promotion 
of  Captain  Tremain,  regrets  that  it  will  send  him  to  a  new  held  of 
duty  and  sever  his  connection  with  this  regiment. 

"  'He  will  bear  with  him  the  best  wishes  of  the  officers  of  the 
regiment  for  his  future  welfare  and  success.' 

"Pursuant  to  orders.  Frederick  reported  for  duty  to  General 
Davies,  then  commanding  the  tirst  brigade  in  the  third  division  of 
the  cavalry  corps.  The  new  field  of  duty  thus  opened  to  him,  was 
specially  suited  to  his  taste  and  feelings.  It  was  the  cavalry  service, 
and  the  excitement,  life  and  dash  of  that  arm  of  the  service  were 
peculiarly  adapted  to  his  ardent  and  enthusiastic  nature.  He  became 
devotedly  fond  of  the  cavalry  service ;  the  remainder  of  his  life  was 
spent  in  it,  and  he  became  more  and  more  interested  in  and  attached 
to  it.  An  accomplished  and  veteran  officer  who  knew  Frederick  well, 
and  who  had  been  for  nearly  a  year  in  the  same  division  with  him, 
remarked  to  the  author  recently,  'Frederick  was  our  beau  ideal  of  a 
cavalry  officer.  Brave,  generous  and  chivalrous  he  attracted  our 
admiration.  We  were  all  proud  of  him.  He  had  no  enemy  in  the 
corps,  and  he  achieved  a  reputation  for  gallantry  equal  to  that  of  any 
officer  in  the  army.' 

"When  he  first  joined  his  new  brigade,  he  found  it  under  march- 
ing orders,  and  skirmishing  between  it  and  the  enemy  occurred  within 
a  day  or  two  afterwards,  near  Raccoon  Ford.  His  Thanksgiving 
dinner  was  made  up  of  hard  tack  eaten  while  the  enemy's  shells  were 
bursting  around  him. 

"Soon  after  his  return,  and  about  the  20th  of  January,  he  was 
ordered  by  General  Pleasanton,  then  commanding  the  cavalry  corps, 
to  leave  the  brigade  with  which  he  was  connected,  which  had  another 
Assistant  Adjutant  General,  and  report  for  duty  to  the  first  brigade 
and  second  division,  which  had  recently  lost  its  Assistant  Adjutant 
General.  He  assumed  his  new  position  about  the  middle  of  January. 
This  brigade  was  one  of  the  largest  and  finest  in  the  army,  and  was 
then  under  the  command  of  Colonel  Taylor.  It  was  stationed  at 
Warrenton,  a  pleasant  village  in  Virginia.     In    April  following,  Gen- 


Eighth   Generation.  1083 

eral  Davies  was  placed  in  command  of  this  brigade.  Frederick  re- 
mained with  this  brigade  until  his  death.  In  a  letter  written  January 
27th,  he  writes  of  being  pleasantly  located,  in  a  fine  office,  in  the 
centre  of  the  village,  which  was  formerly  occupied  by  a  Virginia  law- 
yer and  judge,  and  adds,  'we  surround  this  town  with  our  picket  lines, 
and  they  are  attacked  nearly  every  night  by  guerrillas,  which  kind  of 
vermin  abound  in  this  region.' 

"He  writes  from  time  to  time,  during  the  winter  and  in  March, 
about  the  gay  times  in  the  army,  several  balls  having  been  given,  be- 
sides racing,  sack  racing,  hurdle  racing,  a  grand  St.  Patrick's  day 
celebration  by  the  Irish  brigade,  and  he  speaks  in  the  highest  terms 
of  the  officers  with  whom  he  was  associated.  The  latter  part  of 
March  the  division  received  orders  to  be  in  readiness  for  a  move,  at 
a  moment's  notice. 

•In  the  month  of  April  commenced  those  grand  movements  of 
the  cavalry  which  have  become  already  historic.  From  that  time, 
down  to  his  death,  the  active  military  career  of  Frederick  may  be 
.said  to  have  been  accomplished.  He  was  an  actor  in  those  mighty 
military  movements  on  which  depended  the  fate  of  the  Nation.  He 
was  a  soldier  of  the  Republic,  in  the  great  army  whose  tread  shook 
the  continent  of  America,  and  whose  heroic  deeds  have  excited  the 
wonder  and  admiration  of  the  world. 

"My  allusions  to  the.se  movements  must,  necessarily,  be  brief 
and  imperfect.  A  few.  weeks  before  his  death,  Frederick,  at  my  re- 
cjuest,  declared  his  resolution  to  prepare,  at  his  first  leisure  moments, 
a  record  of  the  battles  in  which  he  had  been  engaged,  but  alas  I  that 
leisure  never  came ! 

•Ills  reports,  as  Assistant  Adjutant  General,  giving  a  history  of 
these  movements,  are  not  yet  accessible  to  the  public,  and  I  have  de- 
rived no  information  from  them.  He  participated  in  no  less  than 
twenty-five  battles  and  skirmishes  during  a  period  of  ten  months.  My 
knowledge  of  these  is  derived  from  his  own  letters,  dashed  ofi^  in  the 
midst  of  exciting  scenes,  from  his  conversations,  and  from  informa- 
tion cheerfully  furnished  by  cultivated  and  intelligent  army  officers, 
who  were  associated  with  him,  at  difi'erent  periods  of  time  during  the 
campaign. 

"The  circumstances  attending  his  death  may  be  soon  related. 
The  movement  which  resulted  in  the  battle  of  Hatcher's  Run  was  a 


1084  History  of  the  Treman  Family. 

general  advance  of  the  whole  division  on  the  morning  of  February 
5th,  pursuant  to  orders.  They  were  on  the  march  all  that  day,  and 
early  the  next  morning,  while  the  brigade  were  preparing  for  break- 
fast, the  enemy  broke  in  upon  them,  and  a  battle  ensued  which  con- 
tinued all  day. 

"About  2  r.  M.,  while  near  Dabney's  Mills,  Frederick  was  lead- 
ing his  troops  on  the  extreme  left,  in  the  skirmish  line,  and  was  about 
to  make  a  charge,  the  cavalry  being  dismounted,  when.  Cieneral 
Davies  having  been  wounded,  Colonel  Avery  was  called  to  command 
the  brigade  and  had  sent  a  mounted  officer  to  notify  Frederick  that 
the  command  of  the  regiment  had  devolved  upon  him.  While  Fred- 
erick had  turned  around,  partly,  and  was  conversing  with  the  messen- 
ger, he  received  the  fatal  wound  from  a  Minie  ball  in  his  hip. 

"He  left  the  field  accompanied  by  two  men,  meeting  on  his  way 
Colonel  Avery  who  describes  him  as  looking  pale,  and  having  a  smile 
on  his  face.  In  the  ambulance,  he  was  overtaken  l)y  his  colored 
servant,  and  said  to  him,  cheerfully,  that  they  would  soon  visit  Albany 
again.  He,  also,  at  the  same  moment,  recognized  his  cousin.  Major 
11.  v..  Tremain,  of  General  (iregg's  staff,  while  he  was  riding  by  with 
an  important  order  from  the  general  for  reinforcements,  hailed  him, 
remarking  that  he  was  hit.  perhaps  seriously  but  he  thought  not  dan- 
gerously, and  then  urged  him  to  go  on  in  the  performance  of  his  duty. 

"He  walked  into  the  field  hospital,  where  Ceneral  Davies  met 
him,  placed  him  upon  a  bed  in  a  room  by  himself,  and  gave  him 
some  stimu'ants  and  a  cigar.  The  surgeons  extracted  the  ball  that 
evening,  and  pronounced  it  troublesome  only,  but  not  dangerous.  He 
was  visited  there  by  Major  Pease,  Major  Tremain  and  others,  who, 
relying  on  the  surgeon's  report,  left  him  without  serious  apprehen- 
sions. The  next  day  he  was  sent  to  City  Point  Hospital,  fifteen  or 
twenty  miles,  where  he  arrived,  cold  and  exhausted,  attended  by  his 
servant. 

He  was  in  much  pain,  and  not  inclined  to  converse.  The  fol- 
lowing day,  the  8th.  alarming  symptoms  appeared.  He  continued 
perfectly  conscious,  made  his  arrangements  to  leave  for  home,  but 
was  not  made  aware  of  the  fact  that  his  life  was  in  danger,  and  about 
five  o'clock,  just  as  his  servant  had  given  him  some  water,  he  died, 
without  a  murmur  or  complaint  having  escaped  his  lips. 

"A  post-mortem  examination  revealed  the  fact  that  the   wound

Eighth   Generation.  1085 

was  necessarily  mortal  from  the  first.  The  ball,  after  performing  its 
course,  had  fallen  back,  and  its  location  had  deceived  the  surgeons 
who  extracted  it,  and  who  supposed  it  merely  a  fiesh  wound. 

•'The  intelligence  of  his  death  spread  a  deep  gloom  over  his 
entire  brigade,  ofticers  and  men.  A  meeting  of  the  brigade  officers, 
(a  rare  compliment  in  the  army),  was  called  and  attended  by  every 
officer  not  absent  on  dut)'."

him  : 

"Bay  City,  Mich.,  Jan.  11,  1902. 

"Murray  E,  Poole,  Esq.,  Ithaca,  N.  Y. — Dear  Sir: — 1  was  re- 
cently shown  a  circular  issued  by  you  referring  to  the  genealogy  of 
the  Tremains,  et  al.  Will  you  kindly  forward  me  three  copies  of  the 
circular  as  well  as  any  other  pamphlet  matter  you  have  issued,  and 
in  return  for  the  same,  I  think  1  can  send  you  some  interesting  his- 
torical references. 

"Our  branch  of  the  Tremain  family  formerly  resided  in  New 
York  but  divided  at  the  outbreak  of  the  Revolutionary  War.  Part  of 
the  family  joined  the  U.  E.  Loyalists  and  settled  at  Quebec  and  Hali- 
fax. My  grandfather  was  a  resident  of  Quebec  and  was  an  associate 
partner  of  John  Jacob  Astor  in  the  fur  trade.  My  father  was  edu- 
cated at  Prince  Edwards  Island  College  and  a  classmate  and  personal 
friend  of  Robert  Bonner.  I  have  also  heard  him  say  he  was  a  sec- 
ond cousin  of  Lyman  'I'remain  of  Albany,  N.  Y.,  and  a  cousin  of  one 
Rudolph  Tremain,  who  1  think  was  an  old  time  member  of  the  New 
York  Stock  Exchange.  My  mother,  nee  Ellen  Kick,  is  still  living 
aged  eighty-three  years,  and  I  think  1  will  be  able  to  give  you  the 
Canadian  history  of  that  branch  of  the  Tremain  family  if  the  same 

will  be  of  interest  to  you. 

"Truly  yours, 

•IL  E.  Tremain."
