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 190 1, 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 history must
necessarily be great, while it is an authentic record which may some
time prove of great value in enabling scrnie 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 names sounded very much alike.
The Anglo-Saxons spelled the name Trcewman, 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.

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 IH. (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,

Tremayne. He m. Isabella, dau. and sole heir of Trenchard of
Collacombe, and removed in consequence to that estate, where his
descendants fiourished for more than three centuries. Isabella
Trenchard, surviving her husband, remarried with Sir John Damerell.

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
memorv) 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

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.
He was esteemed in his time a famous preacher, and he is styled by
Carew "well born, learned, and well beloved." He m. Joan, eldest

them.
Upon the monument of these remarkable brothers, the following
lines are engraved : —
"These liken 'd twins, in fonn and fancy one,

There one of both sore wounded lost his breath,

"In the parish of Lamerton, three miles from Tavistock, is CoUa-
combe, an old house that for generations was the seat of the Tre-
maines (in their origin a Cornish family). Before the marriage Col.
Arthur Tremaine with Bridget Hatherleigh induced them to remove
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 Tremain^. 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 CoUaconibe 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 Lamberton Church is that of their family.
The Tremayne FamiIvY 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."

(From Moore's View of Devonshire.)
THE FAMILY OF THE TREMAYNES.
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 farmhouse, is of the style of the
Elizabethan age, and in the parish church are some of their
monuments.
*His will dated Oct. 27, 1576, proved 15 Dec, 1584. His widow Joan's
will made at I'tjbrooke 24 .\pril, 1591, proved 25 July, 1593.
The Tremayne 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, Andrdw, 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-
20 History of the Treman Family.
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, i8
Jan., 1855, he was released with Sir Gawen Carew, the three sons of
the late Duke of Northumberland and others. His fine (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 w-ell 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 nuist 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 mto 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 CoUacombe 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 chietiy 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 EulaUa, 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 Tremayne. 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
soofi after Elizabeth's accession, and was favourably regarded at
2 2 History of the Treman Family.
court. He was made Archdeacon of Chichester by EUzabeth 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 was 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 English
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, 1631. 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 Treman 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 established 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, 1671, 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-sufticiency of the Mosaic law,
which, he argued, was able not only to work true sanctitication 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 the will. The book was re-
published with the writer's name in 1675 and 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 above,
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-
Avall, 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
left at New London two sons, Joseph and Thomas, and a number of
daughters. Public Records of the Colony of Connecticut say :

complayned to this Court that he is greatly prejudiced by an
execution that was served upon John Higly, for a judgment of
court he recovered against him at New London, September 20th,
'81, for 26 galons of Rume and cost of court, one pound ten
shilUngs and sixpence, the execution being levyed upon two
hundred seventy one yardes of old statute lace, and apprized
to answer the judgment. — The Court having veiwed the execu-
tion and the lace cannot judg it of a quarter of the value of the
judgment, and therefore that righteousness may be attended in this
case doe order that the Marshall doe return the lace to the sayd
Higly, and that he demand him to prsent the estate granted by judg-
ment, and in defect or want of that estate some other good and
pasable estate he is to present for execution, and if he doe refuse to
make such presentation, the Marshall is to levy the execution upon
the body of the sayd Higly ; and this Court appoynts Mr. John
Loomys and Tho. Stoton and Mr. John Fyler to be apprizers of what
shall be seized by execution."
"Trueman, Joseph. May, 1683. In answer to John Higley's

former order for a new execution and doe grant Joseph Trueman

stead lot. In his will, executed in September, 1696, he mentions
four children : Joseph, Thomas, Elizabeth and Mary. Neither his

sixteen years, he enlisted Sept. 5, 1777, as a private soldier in Cap-
tain Aaron Rowley's Company of Col. John Brown's Mass. Reg't.,
serving 24 days, at northward of Pawlet, and was honorably discharged
Sept. 29, 1777. After his removal to New York State he joined the
Second Regiment of the Line, commanded by Colonel Philip Van
Cortlandt of New York, and was assigned to the Fifth Company
where he served till the close of the War. He was one of the picked
company selected by Washington himself to accompany Gen. Anthony
Wayne in his hazardous and successful attack on Stony Point. He
was one of the advanced guard under Lieutenant Gibbon, a forlorn
hope, in which he acquitted himself as a cautious and brave soldier
in an extremely dangerous service. He also accompanied that brill-
iant young Irishman to whom due credit has never been given, Gen.
John Sullivan, with over one-third of the Continental Army, in his
Indian Expedition in 1779, to punish the Six Nations. He was
successively Corporal, Sergeant and Sergeant Major. He was also
honored with a Badge of Merit. He served live years and two
months and after his death his widow applied, Feb. 16, 1839, for a
pension which was granted. He received for his war services six
hundred acres of land, located in what was then the County of
Herkimer. This land is now in part occupied by the Village of
Trumansburg, N. Y. It was named after the family and was once
called ''Tremaine's Village" but in making out his commission as
Post Master the name of the place was misspelled "Trumansburg"
and so it has remained. 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 and took possession
of his land. Me immediately commenced clearing up his land and
in 1794 built a grist mill procuring the necessary machinery from
Chenango Point, now Binghamton, N. Y. It was on his homeward
journey that he froze his feet so that one of them had to-be amputated.
He built his first log cabin on a site opposite the present M. E. Church
where he subsequently built a frame house which is still standing.

New York in the Revolution says :
"Trimmins, Abner. Private in Colonel Philip Van Cortlandt'S'

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, she 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 years
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 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 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 rtnal
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
the first house on a lot opposite the present M. E. Church. It was
Fourth Generation. 47
of course a primitive log cabin, its roof covered with bark. Tliere
several of his children were born and on the same lot he eventually
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 July 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. ( )n
the right wing was Commanding General Wayne with Lieutenant
Colonel Fleury, and Treman says : 'that as the forlorn hope of
twenty men, under (iibbon, passed Col. Fleury to take the lead up
the hill, he took each one of them by the hajid, and with tears gave
them a parting kiss. That there might be 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 enem\-. C.cn. 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, near 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.
"Abner Treman came here in 1792, settled, and made this his

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 w^arrant 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 sjorm 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. VVayburn 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. W. T. Eddy."
The following letter was written by a grandson :
"Mecklenburg, N. Y., Mar.. 22d, 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 Phillip'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 Phillip, 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 the 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 first 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.
1 think Leonard, Lafayette and Elias would be well paid for their
trouble to see for themselves. Nothing more at present, good by.
"Yours, etc.,
"Jared Treman."
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 tirst 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. Bouton, in the village of Trumansburg,"
'Ihe 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 the East the first grist-mill erected in this township, in fact, the
first mill between Owego and Geneva. The winter was exceptionally
severe, and Mr. Treman was so badly frozen on his trip that it

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 Dr. Halsey was called by Mr. Treman, and saw that
amputation was necessary, he said to him: 'You had better send for
some one else. I 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 little 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

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
Abner Treman struck the first blow with his ax he saw clustered
around him a busy hive of industrious workers."
Fourth Generation. 55
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 offspring. 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 copy of Abner Treman's deed for

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 18 10, 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, ^^97) 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 1777-1781.
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 '77-78. On
June 28, '78, present at battle of Monmouth and went into camp at
Redding '78-'79. 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 18 18.
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 Revolutionaiy 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

He was born Sept. i, 1796. He married Oct. 16, 1817, 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-
70 History of the Treman Family.
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, 1819, 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 Charwagnac, 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.
Prior 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 1 9 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, bemg 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 & 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.

He was born Jan. 30, 1803. He married Jan. 30, 1823, Jemima
Thomas. She was born Nov. i, 1803, at Bridgeport, Conn. He
was the owner and proprietor of a tiouring mill nearly all his life.
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 s-weet conjugal afifection 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
74 History of the Treman Family.
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.

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. George Stratton and Lyman Stanbrough, left Owego for Ithaca.
76 History of the Treman Family.
They arrived in that viUage 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 yacht, and then came by cars to Owego, arriving here in the
evening. The party wishes to return their thanks to William Thomp-
son and familv and other friends, for the numerous courtesies
e.xtended 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 7 1-2 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 lime until
noon tlic incessant arri\al 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 Tompkins County composed the greater part
of the assemblage, but numerous relations were present from Meck-
lenburg, Flmira, New York, ( )lean 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

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 (liver 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. Trenian ; Vice Presidents, Jared Treman, D.
K. McLallen, Abner Treman, Wm. H. McLallen, Aurora. 111., Elias
Treman, Ithaca, George Truman, Owego; Secretary, Leonard
Treman, Tru. lansburg; 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, w'ho 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 Thursdav 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 1 offer the foregoing outline of the day's
pleasant event. F. B. A.' ''

Y. He attended the Ithaca Acadeni}-, 1834-5. He married, Oct.
20. 1846, Ahnira Corley (daughter of John Corley, merchant, of New
York City, and Katharine Fernhower of Philadelphia, son of Henr}'
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 in 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 verj- dull and he got out of work. He then went into

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 Slip. 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,
1S06, being one year after the great eclipse, to Katharine Fernhower
who was bom 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, 18 16. 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 Fdmund G. Pelton in Ithaca. In the year 1844
his brother Lafayette joined him and they purchased Pelton's busi-
ness and established the tirm of L. <S: L. L. Treman, which became
Treman Brothers when their younger brother, Elias, joined the tirm
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 (ias
Light Company, 1870-88. President of the Ithaca Savings Bank,
1887-8. Director in the Newtield and Ithaca IMank Road, 1850.
Director in the Ithaca and Athens Railroad ('ompany, 1869-74, and
Cayuga Lake Railroad Company, 187 1-4. lie 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 earlv education was obtained in the district
schools of his native village, finishing with a term at tlir 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 ck-rk 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

of making that his life work he again came to Ithaca and entered the
employ of Kdmund G. Pelton, who was carrying on the hardware
trade. l'"rom that time onward until near the time of his death he
retained his connection with that business. In the year i<S44 his
brother, Lafayette L., joined him, and tiie linn 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, I^li^'^s, the youngest
brother, came to Ithaca and joined the firm, the style becoming
Treman & Brothers. On the Hrstof February, 1857, Leander King,
a cousin of the 'I-remnns, 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
comer 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 deatii. 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
deatli 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 off 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 infiuential 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 suflfered 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 thk 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 hi.story. 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 lo.ss in the death of Mrs. Treman.
An only surviving sister, Mrs. Sammis. resides in New \'ork City.'"

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 a full
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 tirm name became Treman Brothers
upon the accession of their younger brother, Elias, to the firm in
1849, and with 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 and 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 Lyceum
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

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 tlieir 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 Van Academy. In that
\illage he found his first employment away from home as a clerk in
the hardware store of James 1). 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 \an, 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 e.xten-
sive trade in an establishment that would be an honor to the place
and bring them a justly earned competence, 'i'his 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
serxed for a time as Secretary of the Ithaca and Alliens Railroad
l)efore its consolidation with the Lehigh \alley system. He early
became a Dirertor in thr Tompkins ( 'oimt\' National Hank, and in

I'nder 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 188S he was made President of the Ithaca (ias 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 ^^^^ 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 citv 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 1S44, 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 ok the Trkman Family.
"His enterprise, his good business judgment, his industry, his
integrity 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 responsibiUty and the quahties
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 liim 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, l^pright 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
higlily and justly esteemed, and liis memory will he a constant
inspiration to tliose who knew liim."

account of the death of Lafayette L. Treman, one of the founders of

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 office.
"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

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
brought 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
1873, 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 in 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."

was born June i, 1832, at Stratford, Conn. He wa.s 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 leaxing 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 tirm 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 I'ire Depanment. 1866. Member of the Board of Education
several years. He w\is 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 he came to Ithaca and entered the employ of the
then well established tirm of L. & L. L. Treman, becoming a partner
in said firm on February i, 1849, '^'^^ style being thereby changed to
Treman iS^ 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 w'ere
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
communitv."

lie was thrown from his carriage and seriously injured June ist,
1898, 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
accidenl 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 deinocrat wagon. Jasper
Woodsin driving Mr. Treman'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.
"In 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
la.st evening and awakened a general sentiment of regret.
"A specialist in consultation is expected to reach here tonight."
The same paper said editorially. Jime 4. 1898:
"Not half a dozen men in this city have been so long, actively
and extensively engaged in i)usiness here as Klias Treman. Few
citizens, if any. enjoy as large and intimate acc|uaintance with [Ur
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 frecjuent and detailed reports from his bed-
side. The fortitude and cheerfulness wiiich marked his daily walk
are reported unimpaired."

At the time of his death The Ithaca Democrat said editorially :
"In the death of Klias 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. Me hated
sham ; but ever prized and applauded in no uncertain way w^hat 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 essentially 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
1 14 HisTfiKv OF ruK Tki:max Familv.
the inevitable and fatal result liiat 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. ;k « *
"Elias Treman, the subject of this article, was born in Decem-
ber, 1 82 3, fifteen years before his father, Ashbel, died. His child-
hood was passed in Mecklenburg, his youth in Penn Yan.
••In 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 i 'eniocrat, Elias 'I'reman could not be
induced to accept party or political ofiice, except in 1S61 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 Eire
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 l^rotective
Fire PoHce, 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 li:
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 Ellas 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 \'illage 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 tiie same for
eighteen years.
"He was chairman of the board of trustees of the First Presby-
terian Church of this city, was a director in several corporations,
among which are the Ithaca Water Works Co.. Ithaca Gas Light Co.,
Ithaca Savings Bank. Ithaca Trust Co., and Tompkins County
lib History ok thk Treman P'a.milv.
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. \Miile 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
P). 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 l)c'liind him and are tiiankful that for so many
years we have been privileged to know liiiu .md work at his side."

President Williams from the committee appointed at the special
meeting tQ prepare resolutions in memory of Commissioner Trenian
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 efforts 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 otifice, 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.

In memory of Mr. Treman the public schools were closed during
the afternoon of the day of his funeral and the tiags were at half-mast
throughout the day. Places of business were also closed during the
funeral.
From report to Board of Fducation 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 Flias 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 oflicially, be presented to the
family of the deceased :
"The death of Klias 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 rity, and taken an a( tivi-
Sixth Generation. iiy
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 follow^ed 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
.1 sincere and lasting respect for his memory.

"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 Klias
Treman was missed at tlieir head. The company of Protective
Police was organized in 1868 by Flias Treman and Joseph Fsty, and
today, for the first time in liiirty 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 tliis in
mind today when the strains of the band told of the fact that this
was the annual parade of the department."
Mrs. 'lYeman 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 (lunch
of this city, and always took .m active part in church work. She
was a woman of very line personal character, always cheerful, and
by the geniality of her temperament won a large circle of warm

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.

"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 '7 1, 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."

home of James K. Tremaiii and the historical address delivered by
him is from the (ienoa 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 Win. Hattey, 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. K. A. Peck, of Ledyard,
the orchestra following with a fine selection. The address of welcome
was delivered by James K. Trcinain in a manner which none could
help feeling was indeed a welcome from the heart. It was neatly
responded to by Rev. W'eslev Mason of Skancateles. A quartette
from Ledyard f.tvored the company with a choice selection after
which a poem, written for the occasion, was read by C. M. .'*iwift, of
Cortland. Aniither of the (orchestra's line selections was then neatly
rendered when came a historical sketch given by James K, Tremain.
a portion of which we cannot help repeating, lie 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 emigpation 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.

thence the Little Sahnon to Section 83 and 84. where they purchased
185 acres and again commenced Ufe in the woods. The family then
consisted of Philip, his wife, Anna, and sons, Benjamin and William.
" 'A few years later my father married Phoebe Kartwright.
'IMiey became the parents of ten children, eight sons and two
daughters, all reaching man's estate.
" 'My grandfather was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, my
father in the War of 18 12 and grandsons in the late w-ar.
" 'The early towns were very large. WMiites Town, founded in
1788, embraced the entire State west of* Utica. The first election
was held at Cayuga P'erry. Voters living as far east as Utica came
to vote, a distance of eighty miles.
" 'The settlers in coming into the wilderness did not leave their
Puritan training behirjd them but gathered in the cabins, holding
religious meetings. In 1833, the M. E. Church w^as organized at
Ledyard. Father united there and was an earnest worker until his
death. He walked to church in the morning, was taken ill in class
and died that night, aged 77 years. Father was a public spirited
man, was largely interested in the reforms of the day, especially the
Anti-Slavery and Temperance movements. Slaves were then held
in Cayuga County. I have yet to learn that either of my brothers
ever used intoxicating drinks, although raised when whisky was con-
sidered indispensable.
" 'After quite an extensive correspondence, I have found the
direct descendants. My father's grandchildren located in eight
different States from Oregon to Florida, each of my brothers and
sisters having living representatives. Four generations are repre-
sented here today. A great and rare privilege that so large a number
are permitted to have communication today. The absent present in
spirit passing fronj the first to the second century.'
"At the conclusion of Mr. Tremain's remarks he was congratu-
lated by the relatives for so complete and interesting history of the
family, and requested that for the benefit of the many relatives who
were unable to attend it might be printed.
"The further exercises of the hour were taken up in volunteer
speeches, indulged in by Mr. Ross Trcmain. of ( )hio, and Rev. Mr.
Peck, of Ledyard.
"In conclusion, Mr. and Mrs. j. K. I'remain were presented

with an elegant Silver Water Set in appreciation of the early tem-
perance training in the house.
"The company separated feeling that they had been abundantly
paid for the effort of coming together."

The following interesting letter was written by him :
"Bin(;hamton. Oct. 11, 1898.
"To THK EDnx)R OK The Journal:
"Sir: — I read with much interest your article in The Journal
of Oct. I, 1S98, 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.
i68 History of thk Tkeman 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 live children, Joseph, Thomas.
Elizabeth, Mary and Ann.
'•Joseph married Mary Shapley, daughter of Benjamin Shapley.
Dec. 5, 1701. They had four children, John, Simeon, Nathaniel
and Benjamin.
"John Truman, the first child of Joseph, married and they had
nine children, Jonathan, Eliza, Philip, 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. 1). 16S1. and died there Jan. 15,
1747, he being the second son of Joseph Trunian, 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 fmy great grandfather), and also to 'New
England Chronological History,' by Savage, a work of great merit.
My conclusions, after giving the subject iiiurli attention, are that the
name Treman and Tremain and Trueman were all primarily and
jjurely from the English 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 Ihiited States.
"Very respectfully yours,
"James C. Tkuman."

The National Cyclopedia of American Biography says of him :
"Henry H. Truman, son of Daniel Henry and Cordelia (Mead)
Truman, was born in Greenwich. Conn., Feb. 7, 1847. After the
170 History of thk Trkman Family.
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 tirm
of Le Grand Lockwood & Co., Wall Street brokers and bankers.
His salarj' 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 tirni in 1S69. 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
PIxchange. He was successful from the start, but default of one for
whom he was doing business necessitated a suspension in 1871. He
subsequently met every dollar of his obligations. In 187 i 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
membershij^ in the Consolidated Exchange. Later he has also be-
come a member of the N. \'. Produce Exchange.
•Mr. Truman settled in ( (range in 1885, and three years later he
purchased a fine building site on the S. U'. corner of Lincoln and
Highland .\venues, 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 tlic time Mi. 1 rum. hi was asked to accept the nomination
for the mayoralty of ( )range. ht- liad not bcfu in public lifr nor had
he ever taken any interest in politics. It was known that he was a
staunch Republican and being a man of tin- highest reputation, his
constituents believed that these (|ualifications would insure the suc-
cessful administration of tiie alTairs of Orange. Before entering
Sixth Gknekation. 171
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 b\- 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
fullv 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-
172 History ok the Trp:man Family.
orriiiiended 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 witli 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, 1.748, 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 i'undamental 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. Jeremiah and Joshua. He lived four
years at Concord, Mass.. and removed thence to Stratford. (Onn.. at
its first .settlement in if>.v> ^<(^y- .Xdoniram Judson, the missionary
to Hurmah, was a descendant of William and cousin to Gideon,
above mentioned."
Sixth Generation. 173
At the time of his inauguration as Mayor an Orange newspaper
said of him :
"The inauguration of Henry H. Truman as tenth Mayor of
(Grange 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, rneaning 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.
"H. 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 H, dated 23rd 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.

Joseph", Joseph'.) mi. 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,
1817. 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. Superyisor. 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, oh 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
Experience i'arks of Candor. Lyman Truman, the brother of
Aaron, came in 1808, and A.sa H., another brother, followed about 1814.
"Lyman Truman, the subject of this memoir, was born M.iich
2, 1806. .Aaron, the father of a large family, died in iSjj, 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 il w.is due to the sympathy
of creditors only that the household was not driven from its lumible
shelter, which was but little better than a cabin, located on a farm.

remarkable sagacity and energ}-, 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.
•Tn 1S36, 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.
i~S History ok 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 Hank of ( )\vego, of which he is still the president and
principal stockholder, 1879.
•'In 1857 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
influence 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.
"During 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 ( )wego, 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 e\er, his
supervisory care, and from time to time, as needed, his kindly and
never-failing pecuniary and per.sonal 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 creativ^e 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 princeps among the moneyed Napoleons and financial
kings of that great metropolis."

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, T 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 happv. 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.' '"

'I'he Cyclopedia of American Biographies, by John Howard
Brown, says of him :
"Nelson Wilmarth Aldrich, Senator, was born in I'oster, K. 1.,
Nov. 6, 1841. His early education was accjuired at Killingly. Conn.
He then attended the academy at East Greenwich. R. 1., and when

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 cuuntry of .•\u<^. 27, 1901,
announced her engagement to J<jhn Davidson Rockefeller, Jr.
The wedding day is Oct. 9, 1901. The New York Jonrnal of
.\ug. 27, 1901, says of her : "The engagement of .Miss Abbie
G. Aldrich, second daugliter of the millionaire Senator from
Rhode Island, to John D. Rockefeller, Jr., only son of the
Standard Oil king and heir pre.sumptive 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 Rrown and used to visit at
Senator Aldrich'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 Hay,
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 knon-n 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 fir.st time in the college's history.
He was a verv 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 f500,cxx3 to Brown
University lasi fall. Voung Rockefeller has had few diversions
since he left the university. He rode horseback a little, but
his life lay mainly between the oflices of the Standard Oil
Company and the Baptist Church. Recently he has emerged
in a small (iegree from his retirement, and last week organized
a <lancing class, which will meet at neltnonioo'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 ollices as a clerk and
ran tlie gamut of the office routine. Now he is sui)posed to be
cotnjMitent t(j take his father's place and handle his vast hold-
ings whenever he is called on to assume that great resi)onsiI)ility.
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 Tarrytown for New York, goes immediately 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 1S80 became a United
States vSenator. 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 tariflf 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 vSound." 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 history 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 l)een in Washington more than six months all told during
the long service of Mr. Aldrich in the Senate. Probably 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 atlvanced 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
lyj History of thi-; Tkkman Family.
to spend an afternoon with a dressmaker talking about the fit
of a gown. From this it must not be imagined that Miss
.\ldrich does not dress well, for she does. Her father is several
limes 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 iiifaluatioii 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 h'inauce
Committee, through which all tariff and other business legis-
lation must go. His predominating trait of mind is exactness.
He is thoroughly business-like. ^Nliss Abby has inherited these
(jualities 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 anil will not afford
the slightest assistance until she knows the facts. She tells to
her intimates the story of an experience she had in .\iken which
strengthened her resolution in this regard. A few winters ago,
before she knew as nuich of the wiles of mendicants as she <loes
now, a negro girl approached her with a tale of woe tliat was
heartrending. Her mother was dead, her grandfather almost
dead from rheumatism and she herself ill and sutfering from
hunger. Miss Aldrich was much moved by the tale of mis-
fortune and called the girl into lier bouse. She gave her a
me.il anil some clothes and a generous sum of money for her
immediate necessities. She promised also to find her work.

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 l)enevolent enterprises the greatest benevolence
is to punish the unworthy and thus protect the deserving cases
of charitv.' I'ndouljtedly in the great affairs with which Miss
Aldrich will be connected after she becomes Mrs. John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., she will follow 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."

ried (1st) 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 t\: 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 office 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 tilled 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. Asicle 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 nmsic, 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 \'estryman in St. John's
P. K. 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 manv activities thus far in the musical line, he deter-
mined that Ithaca should ha\e 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 realized.
The Ithaca Band is known favorably all over the country, h;ning
taken prizes in numerous contests with other famous bands, and
filled an engagement of one week, August 6-1 i, 1901. at the Pan-
American Kxposition. lis success is largely due to his judicious
advice and firm financial support and knowledge of music and musi-
cians. Ik- lias accumulated, with discriminating judgment and at
large expen.se, one of the finest general and musical libraries in the
country, and wrote a manuscript History nf Music in four volumes

which has been beautifully embellished. He early took an interest in
his family history and its achievements and spent mucii 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 iiis-
tory of the family from his pen, which shows much research and is a
\aluable 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 city."

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

famous victories at Saratoga was due to his prowess, he pulling bow

J. H. Beers & Co., Chicago, 1899:
"Professor Beal's boyhood was spent on the farm with one year
in the gri.st mill. Wlu-n seventeen years of age the opening of Raisin
Valley Seminary, four miles northeast of Adrian, afforded him an
opportunity for advanced study, and in 1855, he spent some months
in completing a preparation for college at Lodi Academy, I-odu
Michigan (long ago clo.sed). On October i. 1855, he entered the
classical course in the University of Michigan, where he was gradu-

Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard University, remaining for one
and one-half years, studying Botany, Zoolog}' and Comparative
Anatomy, under Gray, Agassiz and Wyman. In 1S63. he became
teacher of Natural Science in Howland School at Union Springs,
New York, remaining until the summer of 1868, with the exception of
one term of the spring of 1865 at Harvard, where in that year he
graduated with the degree of Sc.B. He was the Professor of Natural
History from 1869 to 1871 at the University of Chicago, and lecturer
in many schools and some academies and colleges. In 1870 he was

1 88 1 he was Professor of Botany and Horticulture in the Michigan
State Agricultural College, and has since held his present position.
He was also one of the professors connected with the Botanical
Department of the Correspondence University, started at Ithaca, New

"Our subject received the degree of A.M. in the course from the
University, in 1862, Ph.D. (honorary) University of Michigan, in
1880, and Sc.M. (honorary) University of Chicago in 1875. In the

234 History of the Treman Family.

Michigan Agricultural Reports from 1870 to 1898, amounting in all
to a large volume, and his reports and lectures and papers prepared
for the Michigan Pomological and Horticultural Society from 1870 to
1898, make a fair sized volume. He has also prepared several papers

Mass., 1898.
"Born a Quaker, I'rofessor Beal has never joined anv religious
society, while politically he is a Temperance Republican."
The Cyclopedia of American Biographies, by John Howard
Brown, says of him :
"William James Beal. botanist, was born at Adrian, Mich., March
I I. 1833. He was fitted for college at the Raisin \alley Seminary,
and entered the llniversity of Michigan in 1S55, graduating in 1859.
He then taught school for about three years, and in 1862 entered
Harvard I'nixersity. where he took a post-graduate course under
-Xgassiz and Gray. In 1868 he accepted the professorship of Natural
History in the Ihiiversity of Chicago, and in 1870 he was given the
chair of Botany and Horticulture in the Michigan Agricultural Col-
lege, which he held until 1883. wlien he was transferred to the pro-
fes.sorship of Botan\ and l-orestry. He became a member of mimtrous
scientific societies, and contributed ni;in\ original papers to ihr
.American Naturalist, the .American Journal of Science, and to the
Seventh Generation. 235
reports of the Michigan Board of Agriculture and the several state
societies. In 1875 he made a collection of grasses and woods for
the Centennial exhibition at Philadelphia, which received much atten-
tion and won two diplomas. He was president of the Michigan
State Teachers' Association in 1881, and president of the Society for
the Promotion of Agricultural Science in 1880-81. He published
"A New Botany" (1881) and "The Grasses of North America," both
of which are highly esteemed by scientific men. Speaking of the
latter work, Prof. A. J. Cook says : 'He is without doubt the best
authority on the Graviinecr in the United States and one of the
highest authorities in the world. His work on this family of plants
is not only scientific and exhaustive, but is wonderfully accurate, so
that the practical man can rely on it as a certain guide.' "

"Seth Tremain was born July 21, 1839, ^^ Lindleytown, Steuben
County, N. Y., and died at his home in Westfield, Sept. 7, 1901.
"He was of English stock, his ancestors having emigrated to
America in the early part of the seventeenth century. From them he
inherited a sturdy frame and those sterling qualities that made him
respected as a man and a citizen.
240 History of the Treman Family.
•Ill 1846, 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 tirst 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 cldse 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 .\ppomatox. 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 inHammatory 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
familv 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
18S7 was elected to the responsible office of County Commissioner."

The following account of the Treniain Family Reunion at his
home is from the Elmira (N, Y.) Gazette of Sept. 7, 1900:
"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 w'ith 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
manage the affair for the coming year : G. H. Tremain, Westfield,
Pa., President; Miss Thyrza Tremain, Westfield, Pa., Secretary;
Committee of Arrangements, O. A. Tremain, Westfield, Pa.; David
Tremain, Phillips' Station, Pa.; Julius Tremain, Somer's Lane. Pa.;
Mrs. Sarah Porter, Lawrenceville, Pa.; G. W. Neily, Elmira, N. Y.;
Charles W. Edgecomb, Elmira ; Russell Tremain, Wellsville, N. Y.
The next meeting was appointed to be held at the home of Seth Tre-
main in Westfield, Pa., in the month of September. An elegant
dinner was served at one o'clock p. m., after which a social time was
enjoyed ; talk of old times and new, music, croquet, etc. At an early
hour some of the out-of-town guests left for home, with good wishes
and many happy returns of the day. Warren H. Tremain deserves
special mention for managing this first Tremain reunion in such a
manner that there was not a hitch in the arrangements,"

attended Ilobart College, 1860-1. Member of Theta Delta Chi
college fraternity. First Lieutenant 7th New York Heavy
Artillery, Volunteers. Promoted Adjutant Dec. 11, 1S63, 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 shaqishooter 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
integrit)', 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. Tri^main 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. .Ynd 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
Tames 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 jirogress 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 speedily won the confidence of his superiors,
and promotion soon followed the development of the soldierly
accom])lishments which distinguished him in the many battles
in which he particijxited. No Ijetter 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 Hiography
says of him : "I'Vederick Tremain, soldier, b. in Durham, Green
Co., N. v., in June, iS.);^ ; d. near reters!>urg, Va., 6 I'eb.,

he received the wound of which he died."

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 ver}- 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
off to slumber, passed away ; spared even the slightest touch of pain.
"Deceased was born May 17th, 1815, 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.
(jideon 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 cS: VanHorne. This Hrm 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 tlie thirty years they luui been in business, or
90,000 cords in all. .Mr. 'I'remain resided at Tannersville from 18^6
until 1852, when he removed to Monticello where he lived until the
time of his death.

"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 lived 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."

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 ^"<^ while I 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 bom
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 1861.
"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 afterwards father spelled it Tremain. Uncle
256 History ok the Treman Family.
Reuben was an ardent Presbyterian, father an ardent Universalist ;
both were debaters and men of more than ordinary abihty and liking
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 C)hio 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. 1 am very sorry and have for years felt the regret that 1 did
not know more about the family, the name and nativity of our ances-
tors, but I have treasured up all 1 ever learned, and my regret must
be not that I forgot, but that I did not learn.
"\\ . H. J. '('remain, of Nora Springs, Iowa, came into my olfice
this morning in a hurry. 1 know nothing of his family history, but
he thinks we must be akin and certainly his physique bears that con-
struction. 1 nil 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,
••( '.. I,. I'ki.main."

"HuMr.i)i,i>r, Iowa, Aprii, 3, 1893.
"Dear Sir — On my return home lind yours of 15th ult. and
give it my best attention. I do not know anything of my father's
half-brothers or their famiHes. 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 VV. II. 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."
"Humboldt, Iowa, Feb. 3, 1901.
"M. E. Poole, Esq., Ithaca:
"Dear Sir — Answering yours of January 26th. Up to 1845 my
father wrote his name Treman. Then at the instance of his brother,
Reuben Tremain, of Jetiferson Co., N. Y., he added the i and ever
afterwards M'rote 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 Gains 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.

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 have stuck to Tremain. My full name is George Lafay-
ette. I always sign G. L. Yours,

"The announcement yesterday afternoon of the death of Cleve-
land Truman, was as startling as it was heart-breaking and crushing
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, w htii 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 voung 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, aiul 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
untimclv demise."

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 societv people in town. Stanbrough is the younger son
of Dr. J. B. Stanbrough. He was about tliirty-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 crowiled witli the friends of
the dead men. who hoped the doctors would be successful in
restoring them to consciousness and who deejily sympathize
with the mcmbirs of the bereaved families. Mr. Stanbrough
was bookkeejjer at his father's stove and plumbing store in
I'ront street. He was a member of Defiance Hook an<l I,adder
Comiianv, No. 5. and also a member of Sasana l.ofl Tribe,

"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 Glidden'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 \iew 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. ^^ 'I'he surrogate at that time was
John I). 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. 1S87-9.
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 witli K. L. Parker, and
where he has since pursued his profession. I'he 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 Buftalo. 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 Bufi^alo 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 lUilTalo 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, Purj^le and Ciokl. Iioin 1886
to 1890, He belongs, also, to the Sons of the American Revolution,
the Buffalo Club, the Liberal Club, the Independent Cluli, and the
New York State Bar Association, l-.specially 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

Appleton's Cyclopedia of American Biography says of him :
"Henry Edwin Tremain, soldier, b. in New York City, 14 Nov.,
1840. He was graduated at the College of the City of New York in
i860 and then entered Columbia Law School. On 17 April, 1861,
he enlisted in the 7th New York Regiment as a private, and served
through its two months' campaign about Washington, after which, on
13 July, he entered the National volunteer service as ist Lieutenant
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
\Yilliamsburg, 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 (iettysburg. He was on Gen. Daniel
Butterfield's staff at Chattanooga, and took part in the Ixitlles of
Dalton and Resaca. In 1864 he was ordered to llu- .\iiiiy of the
Potomac and served successively on the staffs of (.en. David M.
Gregg and Gen. (Jeorge Crook, participating in the cavalry Ixittles

1845. He was prepared at Dr. Reed's School, Geneva, N. Y., and
graduated at Union College, 1866, and the Albany Law School.
While in college he was a member of the Kappa Alpha fraternity.
He studied law with Peckham lV Tremaine and after his admission
to the Bar became a member of the linn. He married Miss Martin,
of Auburn, N. Y. They had five children. He was a lawyer of
great ability. He early took an active interest in Republican politics,
was a very effective stump speaker and was the Republican candidate
for Attorney General of the State of New York in 1877. He was the
orator at many historical celebrations.
282 History of the Trkmax 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 beati ideal oi 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 (irenville
would have been ready to have sacrificed his had his country called ;
to him ])atriotism 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 dechmd thai luxer did
Webster give birth to more fitting discourse — for the audience were
moved by the manly beauty and entranced l^y the noble eloquence of
the orator. This effort was perhaps the most complete, .scholarly,
and rhetorical of the many speeches of his busy life.
"I'o the advantages that Mr. Tremain possessed in person and
voice and intellect, he added an untiring industrv that was undoubt-

edly the cause of his death. Possessed of so tine 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, '^"^ ^'^^
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
2S4 History of the Treman P\\mily.
1867 he became a partner in the hriii of Peckham c\: Treniain, 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
cjualities of an able, learned, eloquent and accomplished lawyer. He
entered at once into the litigations with which his lirni was connect-
ed, and scarcely a case was tried by either member of the tirni 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 without 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 tiiuf left the tinn to
grapple with something of a large practice, and Mr. I'lrinain 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 mi labor that the human
frame could endure, in order to faithfully and al)ly 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 la\\yer
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.

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

form 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 tirni 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- I
fications for his profession. He loved the science of the law and p
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 ar.d 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.
Ek.iith 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 (Jeneral — 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 (luestions,
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. U'e 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 w'as 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 lirm of Peckham >S: Tremain, which had for years
consisted of Judge Rufus \V. Peckiiam and Lyman Tremain, was
continued after the retirement of the former from active practice, the
new lirm consisting of Rufus VV. Peckham, Jr., and Cirenvillc Tre-
main, with whom Hon. Lyman Tremain was associated as counsel.
It speedily became one of the prominent legal lirms of the city, and,
Eighth Gr-:NERATioN. 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, (irenville 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 nnmicipal aff"airs, and in every'thing 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
290 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
viust 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 aflliction 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 tile 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.

'•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., Fei!. 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 'I'remaine. 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 niairied
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 X'irgil 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. \ . He was an active compatriot with Revs. Finney,
Eighth Gkneration. 295
Ivnapp, and more particularly with Rev. Jedecliah Burchard in their
forays upon the 'hosts of Satan,' holding 'protracted meetings' in
northern New V'ork. 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 tirst 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'. Gaius 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 i86g. Gaius'
sons were George R. and Gaius 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. Gaius 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-
296 History of the Treman Family.
kins Tremaine, and Warren Tremaine ; the last I think Hves 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 (ieorge
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 Hood 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 Mar)'. 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, 1C67.")
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 o.xen, 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 relincjuishes his interest in
the assignment to his brother-in-law, stipulating only 'that my motiier-
in-law, Mrs. Brewster, the late wife of my father. Mr. Jonathan
Brewster, shall have a full and com])etent 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 plving 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 ^^^ ^""^ ^^"^
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 an 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. ^^.it of his
family came with him ; 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
3o8 History of the Treman Family.
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, first
minister of Lyme. 3. William, who died about 1690. 4. John,
born July 25th, 1656. 5. Adam, born Nov. 15th, 165S. 6. Mercy,
born January i6th, 1 660-1. Married Samuel Fosdick.
"Mr. I'icket's estate was appraised at ;^ 1,1 40. 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 iSth, 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.
".\dam I'ickett married May i6th, 1680, Hannah, daughter of
Daniel Wetherell. He died in 1691, leaving two sons: Adam, born
in 1 68 1 ; John, in 1685. The former died in 1709, without issue, so
th:it the family genealogy recommences with a unit.
"The Picket house-lot, at the southwestern extremity of the
hank, descended nearly integral to the fourth Jcliii Ticket, 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. 309
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 Shaplcigh of Boston, was born,
according to Farmer's Register, in 1645. ^^ ^"^^ "^ 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
1 781, 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
Stonington, 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

evidence of a style of dress and housekeeping, more expensive and
showy than was common in those days. It contains silver plate,

four negro servants, &c.

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 « 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. Tlic 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 ILillam was town-ckrk from
December. 1720, to his death in 1736."

"Mr. Chas. Tremaine :
"Dear Sir — 1 am at work on the genealogy of my family and
wish to trace the Tremaine branch. My great-grandfather was Peter
Miller, an Englishman ; he married Phebe Mott who was a cousin of
the Tremains of Halifax. James Tremain, of Halifax, visited the
Millers, their cousins in Baltimore, about 181 7, and Hannah Miller
the daughter of Phebe, visited the Tremains in Halifax.
"Catherine Miller, daughter of Phebe Mott Miller, married Joseph
Robinson, of Baltimore, my grandfather. She had cousins in New
York by the name of Stout whom we think were English. I tell you
this as it may be a help with regard to the Tremain connection. I
will be much obliged for any information you can give me on the
subject. Hoping that you take as much interest in such things as I
do, so that then it will not be a trouble to you, I am,
"Yours truly,
"Mrs. \Vm. H. Corbusier."

Appendix III. 341
born in Ireland in 1721. Was six years old when his father came to
America. Settled in Bennington, \'ermont. Was very prominent in
New Hampshire grants dispute, taking side with New Hampshire.
He was a niember 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 line
bearing. Refused to bear arms against the King, in the Revolution,
though he did not take any active part against the movement. He
w'as 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 1813. 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 Kthan Allen. There is no evidence that he was a Torj', 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 x^ugust 30, 1780, and married
Ezra Meech. Note : John McNeil had a son, David B. McNeil, who
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
extraordinar}- 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 liighly instructive tract, entitled 'The
Faithful Steward'. No one could see him for once and converse
Avith him on the most casual subject without feeling that he was a
genuine descendant and representative of the Pilgrim Fathers of New
P^ngland. 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 ov the Mack Family.
"Col. Mack and his wife had each fifteen brothers and sisters ;
and Jabez ElHs 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 ditliculty tliat he got in liaiid
his hunting-knife, and witii his utmost remaining strength, drew it
across the deer's throat, wiien the animal struck him with the hind
foot a terrible blow ujion one of his tem|)les. whicii com])letely stunned

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 sptak 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 iifth 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. (), it is
good to draw nigh to God, for he has styled himself a prayer-hearing
God ; and never said to the seed of Jacob, seek my face in vain.'
"'December 12, Lord's Day. I liad 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 1 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 Ciod,
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.'
•ill iS^j liL- writes: 'Alas I 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
deliglu in the law after the inner man. I am so drawn aside by my

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
o
62 History of thk Mack I<\\mii,v
miserable improvement I have made of his numerous mercies, I
have great reason to be humbled before him.'
" 'December 31, 1835. ^" ^'^^ good providence of God, I am
brought to the close of another year. There is no closing year in
eternity. The solemn inHuence 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 1 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 : 'Mv dear and
much esteemed grandchildren : — God. in his holy providence, has
lengthened out my unprofitable life much longer than 1 expected, lie
has bestowed upon me many blessings. My health is as good as it
ever was. I can read with spectacles and some without. M\ 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 Ciod 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

children, allow nic to give you a few words of advice? I have great
concern for vour 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 fiy 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.'
"By such counsels as these, and a corresponding example, and
fervent prayers, he was a faithful stew-ard 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 w-eeks. 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 liini. He afterwards went to the
common school of those days with his own children, and spelled in
the same class with his son Uavid 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 ptiblic
seminaries. He assisted indigent young men in their studies, and
offered his three sons a liberal education.
"His life is identitied with the entire history of the town in which
he lived ; in liis prime he was prominent in all its public affairs, con-
stantly filling some office of trust 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 Middletield 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 worshi]x I lu 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
Middlelield, lie went, 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 Middlctield, his property consisted of a poor horse, an
axe and his wife and child.
"Thus it was not much that he had to begin wath ; 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 (iospel, 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 hearing

■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."

She was born in 1779. He removed to Kinderhook, Columbia

Owego, N. V. He. while a merchant at Cooperstown, had a contract
in 1799 with the government to furnish about 100,000 spars, to be
delivered 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 published the newspaper until his death. He
was a prominent and influential citizen. Justice of the Peace.

1802. He died April 14 (o. 16), 1814, 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 ( )wego 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,
181 1, 1812. He also served several years as Justice of the Peace.
From Nov. 11, 181 2, 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 lie became tiie publisher of the

been twice removed, first from the old ground on Court Street to the
Fourth Generation. 37 i
Presbyterian yard on 'reniple Street and thence, in 1.S75, to their
present resting place.' "
The following is from Gay's Historical Gazetteer of Tioga County :
"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 18 12 to 18 15 he
was first judge of the court of conmion pleas of the county of Tioga.
He died in Owego April 16, 181 4, 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 they were again removed to Evergreen cemetery."

"Dep. Secretary."
At the time of her death the "( )wego 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 83
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
tiic most prominent of the public men of this section of our State,
and filled many stations of honor and public trust. I lis family con-
sisted of three sons and three daughters : Stephen. Kbenezer, Horace,
lietsey, I'hoebe and Maria. Tiic three former resided many years in
the \illage of Ithaca, Tomjikins County, and were among the most
useful and respectable of the citizens of that place. The eldest was
Fourth Gexkration. 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., ac. 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 time 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 1818, 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.' "

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 jour Connnission
of Comr. of the Sup. Court. I am now at the Sug. Office and
on examining the Records find that j'ou were appd. on the iSth
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 receivini^ 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 ara'p/ed. It will not be
handed over to 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, Stei)hen Mack, aged 72
years. His funeral will be attended at id a. m. of I'riday next
from the resi<lence of ^Irs. Iv. Mack. Ste])hen Mack was born
December 29th, 1784, at Kinderhook. X. Y., and thcrefoi'e at
the date of his death, was about 72 years of age. He graduated
at Vale College almost half a century ago, having belonged to
the cla.ss of 1813, of which .Senator Badger, of North Carolina,

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 memorj- of the deceased, we
attend the funeral in a body. Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be furnished to the press of oflr village for pub-
lication. (Sgd. ) Caleb B. Drake, Ch'n. Amasa Dana,

depleted his store, until on his arrival at his new residence he had
but three cents in his pocket and was two dollars in debt. Here he
soon made himself a comfortable home."

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 Middletield,
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 1S34 he removed
to Amherst.
"He w^as 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 (iovernor's Coun-
cil. In 1812, 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.
Being a resident in town he was always present at the meetings and
constantly charged witli 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,

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, whoentered 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-
ter of Gen. Mack. " 15310.

lege in New York City, was Censor many years and received from
that institution the degree of M. 1). in 1876.
The National Cyclopedia of American Biography says
i
"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 1813. 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 tifteen 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 ofTered 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 I'ifih Avenue Hotel, lie lived to see the seventieth anni\er-
sary of tiie same event, and tlien received another complimentary
dinner at tlic S.ivoy IIoUl from tlie Now \'ork Medical Ciul), at
which several highly congratulatory speeches and a poiin 1)\- Dr.
William Tod Helmuth were delivered on his nc.\ily unparalleled
record as an active practitioner. Although living 'to the advanced
age f)f ninety-live, he continued in active practice until within a few

; days of his death, 'rhroughout Ufe he was an earnest advocate of
! temperance, having as a young man founded the Young Men's Total
i Abstinence Society, which in 1836 pubhshed a weekly paper advo-
I eating the cause. To his principle in this regard he attributed his
longevity, and indeed his unusual quickness of comprehension and
rapidity of judgment was an excellent evidence of faculties well
used. His contributions to homeopathic periodicals were numerous
and representative, and to his influence is attributed much of the
' popularization the system has achieved. At the annual meeting of
the American Institute of Homeopathy, held in Newport, R. I., in
|une, 1895, he was greeted with the greatest enthusiasm and made a
few appropriate and pleasing remarks. Personally, Dr. Hallock was
an exemplar of the most charming, old-fashioned, courtly manners
and bearing, and although justly popular with a wide circle of friends
and professional associates, was pre-eminently domestic in his tastes,
belonging to but one club."

MKj. ELEANOR DKY MACK
SENATOR EBEXEZER MACK
Fifth Generation. 395
"New York, January 7, 181 5.
, "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 1SS8 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 qualitica-
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 energ}'.
"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 1791. 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, Fsq.,
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
1815. and purchased a press, etc., which had been started here by
Ingersoll 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. ^Lack 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 i)i\inc Pro\ iclciuo, in tlic
removal, within a short time, of many of our most prominent and
useful men, is very express. The loss of Frederick M. Camji, l)anicl
IJishop, Hen Johnsf)n, Timothy .S. Williams, Charles 1". Woodruff
and Kbenezer Mack, would be felt in any city of the Union. There
is no exemption from the inevitable decree.

At the time of her death Rev. Ur. A. B. Beach, her pasto,r
said in the Churchman :
"In Ithaca, N. Y., June 26, 1882, Eleanor Mack, widow of th
late Ebenezer Mack, died, aged 82 years. So hath passed from
«arth to the rest of the blessed, one who was truly a mother in Israel.
Ripe in years, steadfast in Christian faith, full of charity toward the
church and the world, having finished her course she passed away
from loving children, who rise up and call her blessed."
He died July 19, 1849, at Ithaca, N. Y. She died June 26, 1882".

"Mack & Speed," they conducted a wholesale flouring business until
April I, 1840, when Mr. Mack sold his interest to Chauncey Pratt

Goodwin's History of Ithaca says :
"About the year 1822 an ahuost 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 liis rival foe, took a
hasty and precipitate retreat from the countv."
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. lie was elected to the Assembly of this state from
this district some years since, the duties of which station he per-
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 ,1 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 18 17, 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 1S32, 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 public 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 w-ere 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 life, 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
long remain unfilled, therefore
"Resolved, I'hat while the shadow of the grave hides all iiis
faults if any ever existed, and while his virtues grow brighter from
the knowledge that we shall see him no more on this earth forever,
we mourn the departure of liro. Mack, one of our most enterprising
citizens, and condole with the family of the deceased and his stricken
relatives, who knew him more intimately than the world, and loved
him more fully and entirely.
"Resolved, That, as a sense of our loss as an order, and our
Fifth Genkration. 401
sympathy with the bereaved friends, that a copy of these resolutions
be presented them, entered on our minutes and pubHshed.

Tioga County, N. Y., 1837. Treasurer of the Tioga County Agri-

At the time of his death the "Owego Gazette" said :
"Again we are called upon to record the death of one of Owego's
oldest and most respected citizens. John Carmichael died at his
residence on Church Street at six o'clock yesterday morning in the
eighty-third year of his age, after an illness of several months.
"Mr. Carmichael was born at Johnstown, Montgomery (now
Fulton) County, August 12, 1795. At the age of sixteen years he
went to Albany and conunenced an apprenticeship to learn the trade
of a jeweller and watchmaker. He came to Owego on the 31st day
of October, 18 19, and hired a shop in Caldwell Row, a wooden
block of stores which occupied the ground on which the western
402 History of the Mack Family.
portion of the Ahwaga House now stands, and commenced business
as a jeweller. In 1835 he built a store on the ground now occupied
by the Tioga National Bank where he continued to conduct a suc-
cessful jewelrj' business until his building was destroyed in the
great fire of September, 1849. As he was in poor health at that
time, he retired permanently from active business, being succeeded
by his sons, who continued the business in Lake Street.
"Mr. Carmichael was twice married — first on the 25th of Decem-
ber, 1824, to Maria Mack (daughter of Judge Stephen Mack,
deceased) who died Sept. 22, 1829; afterward, June 10, 1835.10
Harriet Ely, who survives him.
"Mr. Carmichael was the first Collector of the Village of Owego
at the time of its organization in 1827 and was elected every year
thereafter to 1834 inclusive. He was also one of the \'illage
Assessors in 1845, 1851, 1852 and 1853.
"Mr. Carmichael has been an active, conscientious and useful
citizen. In business affairs he has been scrupulously correct. A
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
a wife and one son, Mr. Charles S. Carmichael."

He entered Williams College when quite young, married before he
graduated, studied medicine, first practiced in Chester, Mass., then
South Williamstown. While there he had a call from Williamstown
Center to take pins from the throat of a child, other physicians
having failed. He succeeded so well that they invited him to come
and .settle there, and while there had the appointment of two profes-
sorships, Ceology and Chemistry. After some years he was
appointed to make a geological survey of Ohio, and he was so
successful that New York invited him to make a survey of that state.
He removed i<> Albany, and while there, wrote several books on
Sixth Generation. 413
Geology, made the beginning of the best cabinet of minerals in that
state. He surveyed North CaroHna, found gold, purchased a large
tract of land, he and his family spending part of the time in North
Carolina and part in Albany. When the war broke out he was not
permitted to leave, but was obliged to make powder for the rebels.
JelY. Davis sent for him to go to Richmond, to show them how to
make it, but Gov. Vance would not let him leave the state. He
graduated at Williams College, A. B., 18 18, and Berkshire Medical
School, 1830. Lecturer on Chemistry, 1828-34; Professor of

The National Cyclopedia of Biography says of him :
"Ebenezer Emmons, geologist, was born at Middlefield, Hamp-
shire County, Mass., May 16, 1799, son of Ebenezer and Mary
(Mack) Emmons, nephew of the celebrated divine, Nathaniel
Emmons, D. D., and descendant of an early settler of Connecticut.
His father was a farmer, and between home duties and attending
school he found a little time, when a boy, to spend in collecting
insects and minerals, a taste he developed early. He was sent to
Plainfield, Mass., to study under Rev. Moses Hallock, pastor of the
Congregational Church there, who was famed as an educator, and
had at various times, as members of his family and pupils, William
Cullen Bryant, John Brown of Ossowotamie and James Henry Coffin,
the meteorologist. From Plainfield he went to Williams College
where he had as instructors in science Amos Eaton and Chester
Dewey, and was graduated in 1818. 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 Mineralog)^ 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 W^illiamstown, 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 w'as 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 ^^ '"'^^'^ the
additional position of junior professor in the Rensselaer Institute.
Dr. Kmnions 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 1851 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),
Sixth Generation. 415
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."
He died Oct. i, 1863. His widow resided, in 1878, with her
son, Ebenezer, in Albany, N. Y.

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
424 History ok the Mack Family.
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, 1 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
refu.sed. (iordon 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 harracoons, 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.

15555. Samuel Love, Esq. He w-as born in 1797. He
married (3d), Sept. 9, 1879, Arvilla (Myers) Fenner. 14616.
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, 18 13, 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 U. Fuller of
Moravia, N. Y. Mr. Love commenced the study of law witii 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 w-as elected Clerk of Tompkins County, and such
was the satisfaction he gave in that responsible office that he was
re-elected in 183 1, serving in all six years. In 1835 he was appointed
426 History of the Mack Faisiily.
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 lActitude 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
published literary efforts have been few. He wrote a Historical
Sketch of Ithaca for the Centennial year, 1876, which, in modified
form, was published by Everts & Ensign, Philadelphia, in their
•Histor)- of Tioga, Chemung, Tompkins and Schuyler Counties,'
1877; Histories of the towns of 'Chicopee,' 'Amherst' and 'Hadley'
and a chapter on 'The Regicides,' for the work entitled 'History of
the Connecticut Valley,' L. H. Everts, Philadelphia, 1878 ; and the
'History of Columbiana County, Ohio', W. E. Ensign, Philadelphia,
1879.
"Mr. Mack was a Trustee of the \'illage, 1862, 3, 4, and 5 ; and
a member of the School Board, from March, 1875, to July, 1883."
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 Earmer 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 Uiuim.'
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, 18 15.
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
Ifjdging 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.

From the service of his master he shall not depart, etc' This
document is witnessed by Stephen Mack and Wm. Piatt. By the
commission to Stephen Mack, I'^sc]., which 1 have, dated Nov. iith,
181 2, and signed by Daniel I). 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 (iamaliel H.
Barstow, June 22, 1818. It appears, therefore, that Owego was then
in the county of Broome.

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 herein 181 2, and
in partnership with JuHus 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 «Sr
Beebe built the Clinton House which still stands as a landmark of
the county. He died in 1S63. 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 1 86 1 was one of the leading industries of this section, at that
year, however, he returned to tiic 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 :
•ill his death Ithaca loses one of its foremost leaders in all
thought and action regarding public projects and its best advocate
in all things looking to its weal. A man of sympatliy. kindly
impulses and untiring energy — his loss will prove a greater one than
manv of its citizens endowed with greater wealth. The organizer of

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."

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 niusi have been to all,
persona grata. Further, no man could ever justly say that he had

done him wrong; very many could say, as did the citizens of the
town whose good order and clean politics he defended, as an editor,
with his life 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, 47 1 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 1S83 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
460
History of the Mack Family.
years its editor. While he was occupyinj^^ that position it became
his duty to attack the political rascalities 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-
Sixth Generation. 461
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 life, 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 Family.
inst., was received with general regret by his co-workers in insurance
journaHsni, 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 \'iews :
'•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 1S94.
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 lienilcl :
"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 1S90 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."

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 Cary, 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 public 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. Cary 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
47«

Bedford. Iowa, was offered to him. He accepted this opportunity,
and managed the public schools of Bedford with marked efficiency
for the next three years. He found a little 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.
Cary 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. Cary resolved to
settle there. Associating himself, accordingly, with Henry C. Tucker,
he practiced at the Falls in the firm of Tucker & Cary 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 C. Wallace in the w'ell-known firm of
Cary & Wallace. He has become a familiar figure in the Courts of
Niagara County, and is widely known as an able and trustworthy
attorney.
"Outside of his professional work Mr. Cary has been especially
interested in politics. He was a member of the executive committee
of the Chautauqua County Republican Committee in 1884. In the
fall of that year he edited the political columns of a Dunkirk news-
paper. Since going to Niagara Falls he has been on the Republican
City Committee 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 Convention 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 Education since March, 1896.
"Mr. Cary has been somewhat active in the business life of
Niagara Falls as well as in law and politics. He holds directorates
in Power City 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 County Savings Bank, and President
of the Niagara Falls Memorial Hospital."

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 18S2. 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 Kdward 1>. Higley, and for forty
years she has shared all his jovs 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 inHuence were given to aid the 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. Slie 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 efticient 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

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.

21050. Col. David Mack. (Elisha^ Josiah-, John'.) 13015.
Prof. Edward Payson Smith in his Historical Discourse at the Mid-
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 by the authority of the General
520 History of the Mack Family.
Court. David Mack was the leader in the enterprise of organiza-
tion. He undertook the work of a survey and of an application 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. 17S3. 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 Middlelield 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, nioreover, 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. lie 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 oflkes 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
scliuuling. These bles.sin<;;s he did nut 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-year-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 S500 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
oflferings ; who by his contributions made himself a life-member of
twelve bene\'olent 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. The people of Western Massachusetts, writh-
ing under the pressure of public and private debts for which no
means of payment existed, attributed to the government the evils
from which they suffered, clamored for issues of paper money, 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
efTective 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, Kliakim 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, (ieneral 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 (ieorge
Bell, was the headquarters of the Shays men in tiiis 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 u.se his infiucnce in securing
their release, lie magnanimously exerted himself in their behalf,
and secured their pardon.
•So great was the divergence in views tli.it in November. 1787,
the town chose Major David Mack, Lieutenant James Dickson and
Knsign Matthew Smith as a committee to apply to the General Court
for a committee to \\\ the place for the meeting-house."

"In the Name of God Amen. I, Daniel Mack, of the City and

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

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 Klizabeth 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
Hiy 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

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
equally divided, share and share alike, between the said children of
the said Sarah, as soon as they shall respectively attain the age of
Twenty-one years or be married, and I do hereby order and direct
the survivors or survivor of my Executors hereinafter named, to
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
be(|ueathe{l to the children of the said Sarah or to deposit the same

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 shalt
and may be applied and expended in the maintenance, education and
support of the said children of said Sarah. Provided always never-
theless and my will is that in case my daughter Susan, Charlotte or
Caroline shall be married, my wife Elizabeth shall give each of thenT
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

And in case of the death of either of my said children or grandchil-
dren, leaving lawful issue such issue shall take the part or share of
my said Estate which his, her or their parent so dying would have
taken if he or she the said parent or parents had survived, share and
share alike. And lastly, I do hereby nominate and constitute and ap-
point my said wife Elizabeth and my said daughter Susan, my said son
Robert and my daughters, Charlotte and Caroline, to be the executors
of this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all former and other
wills by me made allowing this and none other to be my last will and

seal this 13th day of Nov., in the year of our Lord, 18 18.

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
1S31 he went with his disciples to Kirtland, Ohio, and erected a
costly but very singular temple, lie 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 Thunimim, on
looking through w^hich 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 Fgyptian, not
then known on the earth. P'rom 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, w^ho 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 toteach millenarianisni, 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 .\merica was to be the tinal 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. \ .. .\\n'\\ 6, 1830, and the first conference was held at Fayette,
N. \'.. in June, at which time the number of believers had increased
1030. Smith, directed as he said by revelation, in January, 1831,
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. ( )n 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.
".\bout a year afterward a government for the church was insti-
tuted. ( onsisting 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 i'l. Isaac

(ialland, 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.

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 established 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."

of New Hampshire, 1631.) The National Cyclopedia of Biography
says of him :
"Joseph Smith, Mormon prophet, was born at Sharon, \t., Dec.
23. 1805, son of Joseph and Lucy (Mack) Smith. In 181 5 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
55'
History or thk Mack Family.
which four of the family joined the Presbyterian church, his attention
was seriously drawn to the subject of rehgion and the future state,
and his mind, perplexed by the conHicting 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 ajjpearance of gold. Kach 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 anti<|uity in its construction, as well as
much skill in the art of engraving. With the records was found the
urim and Ihununim. two transparent stones, let into the two rims of a

bow. iiy tliis the ancieiUs received, it was said, their revelations.
'I'he noise of Smith's visions and rumors of his discoveries had gone
at^road, and on his return homewards, after the receipt of the records,
he was attacked by two rut'tians, but beat tliem off, and reached his
dwelling. 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,
tlirough the means of urim and thummim'. lie 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 sub.sequently
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, X. 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, ( )hio, 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 indicted 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 20c;,
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 ea.stern states, and in 1837 to England, where
the first conference of converts was held at Preston, Lancashire, Dec.
25th of that year. Kverywhere the church gained new adherents,
and the year 1837 was an auspicious one for them, although they lost

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 I'ligland 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 fthe
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, llyrum. 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, and in 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. ( )n 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

of the I'nited States, but was widely attacked by the newspapers.
When, in 1S43. he announced the revelation of 'celestial marriage,'
authorizing the practice of polygamy, certain malcontents established
the 'Hxpositor'. 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, Ilyrum,
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, 1S44, 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."

"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 half
he was president of Mani, Kohala, Hilo and Molaki conferences, and,
although so young, one of the most active men in the party. Within

six weeks after his arrival he was able to preach and pray and
administer the (iospel ordinances in the native language, displaying
in his study unusual aptitude and a wholesome devotion to duty as a
missionary. ( )ii 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. lie 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 Kurope, he visited Scandinavia, Germany, Switzerland and
France. In the spring of 1877 he was again .sent to preside over the
Kuropean 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 liis recall, and sail-
ing from Liverpool he reached Salt Lake City on Sept. 27th. lie
went on a brief mission to the eastern states, in company with Klder
Orson Pratt, and after his return in October was placed in charge of
the endowment house, continuing to manage its alLairs until the sunv
mer of 1884 when it was closed. In October. 1880, when John
Taylor succeeded U) the presidency, Klder 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 C'onstitutional 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
W'ilford Woodruff 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."

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. 1 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: 1 think
from the town of Lyme. There were four brothers ; their names
were David Mack, Benjamin Mack. John Mack and Nehemiah Mack.
My mother. Folly 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, \'t. 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. 1 ). 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. 'I'hey also had a son Samuel Mack. The family, all but
your grandfather, Daniel Miner Mack, left Plaintield. \'t.. when I was
(juite young; I do not recollect but little about them. Grandfather.
Nehemiah Mack's, other brothers lived and died in Woodstock, Vt.
"1 will give you the names and address of two cousins which it
is possible can help you to dates and perhaps other items : I km y K.
Mack. Hardwick. \t.. and Miss Mary M. Mack. 16 Key St.. Ames-
bury. Mass.
"Sir, please excuse tiiis docmnent, written l)y one that has passed
lier Solh milestone. I should be pleased to learn of your success.
-Respectfully, IIarkikt Willis."
"January i 7. 1896.
"Dkar Sir; — Your letter of Jan. (>{h was iL'(c'i\cd the 1 iili. I
was glad to receive it and thank you fm it and the information you
gavr It opened to in\ memorv more plain your grandfather's family.
Appendix IV. — Sixth C^.kni;kati()n. 6oi
especially your clear mother, Cordelia Rebecca Mack, and her
brother, Riifus Simonds Mack ; when quite young think they lived
a few years with some of their relatives or friends in i'lainfield. 1
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.
Crandmother, Caroline (Niles) Mack, was born Oct. 14, 1760; died
Oct. 16, 1839. My grandparents, Nehemiah Mack and Caroline
Niles, 1 think were married about the year 1780 in Conn.; came to
Woodstock, \'t., soon after; in 1795 o*" '79^ moved to Plaintield, 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 Plaintield, Knos 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, "Marrif/i \\'ii.i.is.
"P. S. (Grandmother has been quite poorly since she began this
and she wished me to finish it for her.
"May L. Heath."
"Plainfield, \\., May 5, 1896.
"Dear Sir : — My last letter to you which I think was w'ritten 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 thk Mack Family.
Mack, was deacon in the first church organized in Plainfield, beloved
by his churcli and respected by all good people ; the reading of the
word of (lod and prayer daily ascended from the family altar; and
being dead he yet speaketh. When he came to Plainfield there were
but ver}' few families in town, lie 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 ni\ mother, Polly
Mack's, parents, Nehemiah Mack and Caroline (Niles) Mack, with
their youngest child, Sally Mack, who became the second wife of
Mgar \'. Wilson's mother's grandfather (leorge 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 \isit. 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 182 i, 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 Mar)' 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 17S0; his father died when he was seven years:
he then went to Bethel, Vt., lived with an uncle. W hen fourteen he
came with his uncle to reside in Plainfield. \t. My mother. Polly

lies. Sister Scotl and husljand died in i<S82 ; botli died in the same
year. My otiier 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 W. Heath. Mary A. Willis married F.
B. Cahill, with whom is my home. Hattie P. Willis, the youngest,
married Kdwin 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 living near.
"I come now to speak of your. Edgar V. 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,

stage name is "Kate Claxton". Appleton's Cyclopedia of
* American Hiography says of her : "Kate Claxton, actress, h. in
New York City in 1S4S. She first appeared with Lotta in
Chicago, soon afterwards became a member of Daly's Fifth
Avenue Company, and tlien of the Union Scjuare Company, but
attracted no attention till the production of 'Led Astray' in 1873,
in which she won great popularity as Matliilde. 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, 1S76. She became widely known for her coolness
on that occasion, and by her efforts 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 sujjerstitious 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, but was subsequently divorced, and in
1876 married Charles Stevenson, a member of her companv."

36890. Rev. Thomas Lamb Eliot, D.l). 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 1, 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 wds 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 IiisT(^Rv OK Tin-: 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 liis weakened eyesight,
he was discouraged from this purpose by all e.xcept 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 1S64, to the Harvard Divinity
Sciiool, where he completed the course the next year, having done
two years' work in one. .\mong 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 TI. Hey wood, 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 llnitarian 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 tlic New
Orleans church, and the very mail which brought him the call to the
church in Portland, Oregon, also brought hini 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 Kev. Horatio
Stebbins to Sanl'ranci.sco. It was not ditVicult for him to make the
choice. Ever since his visit to the Pacific Coast, he had hoped that
Portland, Oregon, might be the held of his life work. Starr King
Appendix V. — Stxtii Gkneration. 663
had said to liim llicn, 'The Pacific Coast clairns 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-
numity. 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 anv 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
theolog)-, 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
uncliurchetl so likely to go for the offices of a minister, or for comfort
or jier.sonal counsel, as to him. He has a wide reputation and infiuence
througiiout the Pacific Northwest among men of all ranks and classes,
the weight of which has more tlian once been felt in legislative halls,
in l)cl)alf of philanthropy and good government.
•Ill 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 Divinit}-, 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. He 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-'yi, 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 w^ith 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."

"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 l-rec Press, has linally
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 tlirector. The general never had a
desire to assunie 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
Appendix IX. — Fourth Gkneration. 709
would not listen to it. However, his health made it imperative. His
many friends are j)leased 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 Morida 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 tlie 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. \'.. lie conducted the enterprise with
fair success for some months : l)nt in 1X71; he received a favorable
offer for the paper, and disposed of the property.
Ai'i'KNDix XII. 735
''In September of the same year Mr. Mack began hi.s long career
in Buffalo journalism by founding the Sunday Times. For a while
the printing was done outside the office, and not until iS.Si was tiic
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 tiiereby 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 your letter of Dec. nth, in relation to the
Mack family. I notice the circular you send traces the Mack
family to Scotland. The family with which T am connected
descended from .\lexander Mack, who came from (Termany and
was the founder of the Dunkards. Vou can find this by referring
to the head of Dunkards in Encyclopiedia Britannica. His son
was Wm. Mack. His son, that is the son of \Vm. Mack, was
.Alexander Mack, who died in this county in the "50's. The
son of the last .\lexander Mack was David Mack, my father,
who died recently. If this family 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. Vours respectfully,
D. E. M.\CK."

mond County, Staten Island, N. Y., early in the i8th Century. He
was member of Assembly, 1726-56, and County Judge, 1739-56.).
His will was dated Nov. 8, 1688 ; entered of record Jan. 15, 1688-9,
his children not named. His widow married, Aug. 11, 1691, Joris
Ryerson of the Wallabout, who removed to Acquackanonk, N. J.
Teunis Dey owned at his death the fee of a lot of land lying without
the city land gate, on the west side of the highway having to the
north the farm of his Royal Highness, afterwards called the King's
farm ; on the south the land of Olof Stevenson (Van Courtlandt),
containing five and a half acres, 309 feet front on Broadway and 800
feet deep to the Hudson River. In 1750 Dey Street was laid out
through these premises.
New York Historical Society's Abstracts and Wills Collection,
1892, gives his will, and the granting of letters of administration, as
follows :
"In the name of the Lord, Amen. To all Christian People to
whom these presents shall come. I. Tunius Dey, of the City of New
York, yeoman, being sick do make my last will and testament. My

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 thk Dky 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 Lafayette had his headquarters was the residence of Samuel
^'anSaun, and was about one mile from the Dey House. When
Lafayette revisited America in 1824-5 '^^ 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 gamlirel roof, and is about 52 feet long and 30 broad. The
front is of brick and brown sandstone. The sides and rear are of
rulible-work. trimmed with brick. 'I'he 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

Fourth Generation. 74cj
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 lo 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 (ien. Washington, is the account left by a French noble-
man, the Marquis de Chastellu.x, who visited the General while at
Preakness. The Marquis traveled extensively in the Ignited 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'Amerique Septentrionale dans les Annees 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. On 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. I had soon dismounted and was close to
him. 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 profound esteem
for his virtues and a high opinion of his talents. About 9 o'clock in
the evening the general officers retired and went to their quarters,
which were all far away; but as the General had wished that I should
750 History of the Dky Family.
stay with him, I remained some time longer, after which he conducted
nie 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 complinientar) .
" '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 tive and a half
acres, 309 feel front on Broadway and 800 feet deej) to the Hudson
River, the farm being now intersected by Dey Street. His son was
Dirck, who was 'of (he County of liergen,' and who bought in 1717 a
tract of 600 acres in Singack Hrook (near Preakness).
"His son Theunis was the proprietor of the house which he had
probably built some years before. He was Colonel of the Hergen

in the same regiment. This Richard later became SherilT of liergen
County and Major General of militia. In iRoi he sold the home-
stead, with 355 acres of land, for ^"3,000. 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 'Here 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
Li^'ht Infantry corps, formed in August, wiih Major Lee's Virginia
Troop of Light Horse, occupying a small elevation on the extreme
east, along the eastern bank of the GofHe stream, where it Hows 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 Rille 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 Wasii-
ington caused a lookout to be erected on the summit of the peak on
the ea.st side of tin- Nott li, whincc he could obtain a clear view of

the whole countr\- for twenty miles or more, including New N'ork.
Newark, Elizabethtown, Haverstraw, ilackensack, etc. Tradition
also asserts that he caused great masses of stones to be piled uj) on
this hill, to be rolled down upon any troops tliat might undertake to
force a passage through the gap.
"The (ieneral doubtless had pleasant recollections of his tirst
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 w'as 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 effect
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 blutY,
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 Ilackensack on the southeast, and Para-
mus, Pompton and Ringwood toward the northeast.
"A century ago, trie 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 lieight. with a
double pitch roof, through which a recent owner has pierced some
vvindows, giving it the appearance of a mansard. The building is
754 History of the Dey Family.
about fifty-two feet long, and about thirt\- feet deep. The front is of
brick, the doorway and windows trimmed with poUshed 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. Tlirough the centre, from south to north,
runs a hali. 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 tloor are about nine feet, and on the second fioor 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 oftice 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 Accjuackanonk, 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! A few volleys from the
Americans on the opposite Heights checked tiieir ardor, and they
hastily retired.
"/\ few words may not be out of place regarding:: tlu- ! )i.'y family.
Fourth Generation. 755
In the records of the Reformed Dutch Church of New XOrk we lind
the marriage on December 28, 1641, of 'Dirck Janszen, j. m. \'an
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 ]x\ternal grandfather,
and the second, baptized September 24, 1656, received the name of
his maternal grandfather, Teunis. Among the same records we find.
January 16, 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 17 17 (October 9), Dirrick Dey, 'of the County of Bergen
in the Province of East New Jersey, yeoman,' bought for ;^i2o 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 Kegiment 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 1 781 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 offices. In 1801
he sold his homestead, with 355 acres of land, to Garret Neafie and
John Neafie, of New York City, for ;^3,ooo. 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

years wielded great influence there. Others of the family removed

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.

for the Krie Canal. President of the Society of the Cincinnati over
thirty years. President of the American Bible Society at the time of
his death. He died July 30, 1831, at Jersey City, N. J. He was
one of the three founders of Jersey City.
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
City of New York when the war for independence began, and he
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
Point until after Arnold's treason, when he became a member of
Washington's military family, acting as his recording secretary, until
near the close of the Revolution. When the 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 confiuence 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. He presided as Speaker of the Assem-
bly in 1787 and 1788. Appointed Attorney General in May, 1789,
and the following September elected Mayor of New York, which
office he retained until Edward Livingston succeeded him in 1801.
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. V., now stands.
John Schuyler's History of the Society of the Cincinnati in the
State of New York, says of him :
"He was born C^hristnias, 1756, in Ulster County, N. \ . He
witli 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. Krskin, who resigned and rrturned to Europe, till the close of
the war. He was present at Yorktown, giving effective service both
there and on the march. His militarv maps and surveys were of
great assistance to Washington. Honorably discharged the service
on the 3d of November, 1783. The ne.xt 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 I'^niversity
from 1798, Vice Chancellor from 18 17, 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, i8g6,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
766 History of the Dey Family.
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 DeVVitt. A brother and sister also
emigrated from Holland at or about the same time, the brother dying
within a few years unmarried. Emigrant DeWitt 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 liim 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 in 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 DeWitts 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 l)e\^'itt, who was a captain of
the company of rangers which bore his name and formed jiait of
Clinton's brigade, and Thomas DeWitt, a major who was with his
regiment in the famous 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

"Simeon was the sixth in a family of fourteen children, but large
families were quite fashionable in those times. lie 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
tlie 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
countrv for all time would have been different from what it has been,
(ien. DeWitt was in the Southern campaign, which captured Corn-
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, \'a.
"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 electi\e 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

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. DeWitt 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. Hut 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 i ,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 Oity 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 nut
the original locat(jr of the tract. In these it is described as 'Zeelie's
location of 1,400' and the location of Martinus Zcclie, and there are
references to trees marked 'M. /..' Three years after the issuance of
the patent Cwhich is a state deed) to Bloodgood. the latter on I )ch em-

possession, llic whole 1.400 acre tract or location. The land in the
Bloodgood-DeWitt transfer is described as 'situated in the county of
'rio<;a near the south end of Cayuga Lake' and the initial point of
which was 'at an elm tree marked M / 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 Hloodgood 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. DeWitt. at a later date, sold ofif 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 flat.
"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 1 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, 1 need not mention. They
are known and universally acknowledged. What is most singular,
and wiiat 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 \entured to remove him.'
"Gen. UeW'itt 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 ^■arick, an earlv
mayor of New York City, as Gen. DeWitt 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 spon.sor of this city be of historic interest to
Ithaca?"

Winfield'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 si.xteen
years Anthony came to the city and studied law in the office of his
cousin, Colonel Richard Varick, to whose influence and conuection
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
meadow land lying between Mackensack and Passaic rivers, and

The History of Four Counties, so-called, says of him :
"His early education was chiefly derived from the common
776 History of the Dey 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 \ Riniisey of
Troy. X. V., 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 Count) , 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 Schuvler.
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 was 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 Tomi)kins bar of 1835 numbered twenty-hve 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-hve years ago as printed in
the .\. \. Law Register of 1S35 two well remembered names are
both prominent and con.spicuous. They are Hin Johnson and Charles

was the decade which witnessed the beginning and close of the \\';ir
of 1812-15. It was at this period that Ithaca first began to be a
stirring and thriving viUage and young men of the professions and
mechanic and mercantile pursuits would be attracted to it. 'i'en 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

grow up with the place in the practice of his profession. lie was
here as early as 1818 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 hut 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 inriu-
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. MLLK.S."
The Ithaca Daily News of April 24. 1899, contained the follow-
ing about him, taken from the ^^'atkins 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, W in. Linn, Geo. D. Beers, Stephen B. Gushing, 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 1 think,
by stating his propositions with such assurance and gravity that the
unsophisticated are quite inclined to regard them law, w'hen the fact
is, in many instances, there is no warrant for his statements in any
law books ever published. I will not sav 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 eflkivia.' 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 iIkii 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 Huency of speech. He
would say more in thirty minutes than the average lawyer 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.

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, liut then, gentlemen,' he added retlecti\ely, '1
doubt if there is anything in nature that can stop him." We shall
never forget the solemnity with which lie 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 death. 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 (i.
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.
780 History of thk Dky Family.
•'This chronicle wuuld 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 iri\ial 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
the last her mind retained its clearness and its poise and her charac-
ter its radiant attractiveness. No sign of querulousness ever marred
the tranquility with which she bore tlie burden of her many years and
of her many bodily infirmities throughout her serene and beautiful
old age. She has died tended to the last by the most affectionate
ministrations and accompanied to the last by
That whirli should accoiiijiauy old age
.\s ludior, love, obedience, troops of friends,
and she has left the world better for her having been in it fur those
who are to follow her."

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 lime and
fortune, lie was of the founders of the Albany Lyceum and after-
wards of the Albany Institute. Through ;ill his many years of failing
health and siilTering, he ever preserved the original sweetness and
Sixth Ghmckatiu.n. 785
serenity of his disposition and elevated as it was by the religions and
convictions which had been the rule and comfort of his life. He lias
gone from us leaving to us all a good and enduring remembrance."
The Albany Argus said :
"Richard \'arick DeWitt. This venerable citizen died last Kri-
day morning at his residence in Albany, after a lingering illness. Mr.
DeWitt 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. 'I'o 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. DeWitt was sixty-eight years
of age."
Another Alba.ny 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 i\lbany. 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 civilians, 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 afi'orded 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 ver)- interesting. He gradu-

ated at Union College and after the usual preparatory study in the
office 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, lie
was a patron of the old Albany Library and one of the founders of
the Albany Institute. He established and maintained a hne 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
sutTered 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 V^ice-President, and during the absence of Governor
Fish in Furope acting President of the State Cincinnati Society.
Many New Yorkers will remember with pleasure the dinner of the
Society at the Fverett 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 hrsi 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 adver.se depressing influences ever destroyed
that natural buoyancy, geniality and vivacious hon hovnnt which he
possessed in a marked degree. These qualities ever attracted to hiiii
the young, who enjoyed his society and profited by his example and
advice, while his extensive reading, long observation of nun and
manners, his delicate humor and great refinement, threw a (harm
over his converse with people of all ages. In short, it may truly be
said that in liis ntidhtrusive kindness, his linmhle estimate of hinist-If.

his reliance for support on a higher power ; in his unsellish rej,Mi(l
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 tilled, while his friends will ever cherish with mournful
pleasure the remembrance of his inan\- 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.
788 History of the Dey Family.
"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 ^^^rick 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 tliat we extend our heartfelt
.sympathy to his family in their bereavement.
"Resolved, That we attend the funeral of the decea.sed in a
body : and that a copy of these resolutions be presented to tiie family.

'i'he Consistory and Trustees of the Second Reformed (Inircli
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 C'hurch, chronicle their profound sorrow
and sense of loss in the record of Richard \'arick DeWitt's departure
from earth.
Sixth Gknkration. 789
"For nearly fifty years a member of this church, he maintained
a spotless Christian reputation, and beautifully exemplified the j^races
of an humble and earnest follower of jesus. Durinj; a considerable
part of this lengthened period called to fill all church offices to wliich
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 hcliiful hand, so thai the formative inliu-
ence of his pure life and the power of his jutlicious 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 — w'e 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 afTection. we suppli-

ment of which their honored and beloved father lived so admirably
and then so peacefully fell on sleep.

known and highly respected. Mr. DeWitt was born in Albany
in 1832 and was the son of Richard \'. and Sarah Walsh DeWitt.
Simeon DeWitt, grandfather of the deceased, was a jirominent
officer in the Continental Army. In 1778 Congress appointed
him chief of the topographers of the Continental Auny and
geographer-general, which positions he retained until the close

of the Revolutionary War. He served as surveyor-general of
New York State from 17.S4 to 1S34. He declined the appoint-
ment of survcyor-yeneral of the United vStates, which was ten-
dered him by Congress in 17S4. Richard V. DeWitt was edu-
cated at the Albany Academy and in 1S49 entered the employ
of the Albany Insurance Conijiany as clerk. In 1S54 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 1S72 to 1S90 Mr. DeWitt was secre-
tary of the Commerce Insurance Company and was secretary of
the Albany Insurance Company from 1S90 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, 1S87, to succeed John McKwan. 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' Connniltee. Mr. DeWilt 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 .Vlbany Medical Col-
lege, a member of the standing conmiittee of the Society of the
Cincinnati of the State of New York, and president of the
Albany branch of the local Fire Insurance .\gents' .\ssociation
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, 190 1, (ieneral Order. With regret announce-

Richard \arick Do Witt, .senior, thoiij.(h never a resident of
Illiaca, 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 slill well remem-
bered by a few of the older people yet living." Tlie Ithaca
Democrat said : "I'he death is aiinnunccd 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 willi the insurance
business of Albany, and I believe was a vice-president or])romi-
nent officer of one of the insurance companies incorporated and
doing business in that city. His death recalls a naine and
family, historic to Ithacans, and eminent in the annals of the
State. I refer to Simeon DeWitt, who died in one of the up])er
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 February 7, 1.S68,
aged 68 years. He is said to have been like his father a gentle-
man of varied literary accomj)lishments 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 l-'rancis .\. 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 vState, 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-
barra.ssed. The association of the elder Richard Varick DeWitt
with his father and his uncle. Colonel Richard \'arick,bolh 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 I.,ivingstons, DeWitt Clinton, Chan-
cellor Kent, the Spencers, General .\rmstrongand many others.

Albany newspaper said : "The death of .Mrs. Alice de I'eyster
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, her father, the late
Richard Varick DeWitt. I'nder 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 usefulness in her rece])tive mind, active intellect and coTi-
scientious industry ; which hopes, however high, were more
than justified in her womanhood. The fine moral qualities and
mental capabilities she was endowed with by nature were care-
fully nourishecl 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-
jjortunity 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. I'rom 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 he hoarded
more closely than ever. She Ijecame the wife of one worthy to
be her husband, and in this relation she was, what she had
been in every other, a theme of praise and a nuidel 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
.•\lbany over a dispensation so mysterious, that Faith itself may
be pardoned for wondering whether Heaven can need so miuh
as Ivarth does such women as .Mice DeWitt de IVysler.

\'ice-l*resident of the First National B;ink 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 place, 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 hrst having been
sustained about seven years ago.
•Tie was born in Skaneateles, Onondaga Co., N. V., August 28,
181 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 accordingly 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 next find him a partner in the firm of his father, and then
796

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 growtfi, 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 Hettie Johnson,
of Ithaca, N. Y., where she was born. She, with tive children, sur-
vive him — William and F.velyn, 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 only 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 served 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 «!v: 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 1S59.
"As a citi/en he was wedded to the interests of Marshall, and in
evervthing 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 whi( h he has for years been vice-president.
As chairman of the building connnittee f)f the hoard of trustees he
Se V i<: X T 1 1 ( ) !•: M-: K a t k > n ,

superintended the erection of our tine high school building and per-
formed such signal service in this capacity that he was presented
with a purse of 5500, as a sligiit testimonial of the esteem in which
his untiring labor was iield. Refusing to accept the money as a gift
to himself, he placed it at interest, and yearl\- the income — $50 — is
divided among the various departnients 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, tinn
and unyielding in defence of right and justice, yet sympathetic and
merciful to the unfortunate. His greatness consisted in the combina-
tion of ciualities 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
upon his like again.' Marshall mourns his death."
He died April 22, 1884, at Aiken, S. C. She died Feb. 16,
1 89 1, at Aiken. Residence, Marshall, Mich.

At the time of his death the Denver Tribune said :
"Hon. Joseph li. Sprague, of Ithaca, N. V., died at Ciiarpiot's
Hotel in this city, yesterday forenoon at 1 1:30. This event, so very
unexpected, 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 lOast.
"Colonel Sprague, as the deceased was familiarly designated, has
frequently visited Colorado during the last three or four years, having
mining property at W^agon 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,
antl 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 Y. Hurrell.
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
«oo History of the Dkv Family.
health until within a very few days of his death. ( )n 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 Heshy 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 tliey
were embahued, 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 Kzra 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 dec eased in this and the many other conuuunities
in which he was well known than that of intense "popularity". While

or in places of public trust. Althougli 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 influential 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 w-as born at Schenectady, N. Y., where his only
son, Joseph B., also first saw light. Subsequently, the family removed
to 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
$1,200,000.00 and died at his home in Rochester.
8o2 History ok the Dky Family.
"John Biittertield 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 five
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 ujion 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 nf)t in active
practice, possibly because of sufficient income without, llcuce the
rumors put forth regarding a limitation upon the Colonels share in

foundation. It is well worthy of note th;U this statement was only
heard — and then only in whispers — during political campaigns.
"The farm at IJrbana being too quiet a seclusion for a man <if
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 iS()(j. 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, (ieorge 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
ill his travels, and nothing gave hiiii 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 Jiere.
"Coming to Ithaca for a permanent home in 187 i 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 a-iid the same time, and the
latter imperatively demanded his presence. 1 1 is position and un-
swerving policy in such local issues as the street paving, cow law,

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 official 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 every 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 $500 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 unaided. 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 (lul). 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 tlie otlicr
leading cities of the State.
"A mistaken rumor has prevailed on our .streets that lie 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 liy his physician and relatives th.it his hcahh h.id not l)een

sion was purely of a business nature. It cannot at this time be

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.

her sincere sorrow at the loss. If such is the feeling in the commun-
ity, what shall measure the grief at tlie fireside to which the terrible
news of the affliction came — without warning?"

Landmarks of Tompkins County, N. Y., 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.

ordinary, Init who by force of character, energy of purpose and adher-
ence to business rules, step to the- fiont 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
War of 18 1 2.
"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. lie 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,
and 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
tield, 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 states.
"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 G. M. Titus & 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

Ictl 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 X; Co., a leading
dry goods house in New York City.
"At this time, the fall of i860, thoughtful men saw in the trend
of affairs 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 offer 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. Enroute 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 w'ar tax upon petroleum, which mission was success-
fully performed.
"When but twenty-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 ^: Bostwick was
organized, manufacturers of machinery and agricultural implements.
'I'his firm introduced the well known and useful implement. "The
Ithaca Steel Toothed Horse Rake'. The business was very succes.s-
ful, and afterwards Mr. Titus disposed of his interest therein to Mr.

the improvenicnt of what was known as the HUjodgood Tract, con-
sisting of some 400 acres of marsh and hillsides on the south hounds
of the village, which he ditched, drained and otherwise greatly im-
proved. About one-half of this tract was sold to the late John
Mc(Traw. 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 187 I he has carried on a very large farm, supplying nuich of
the milk consumed in Ithaca ; and also farmed 500 acres of lands,
the most productive in the county. Through portions of these lands
streets are soon to be laid out and tine 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
temperament 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.
Ezra 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
duties of the position, and although almost insurmountable difficul-
ties appeared, carried the enterprise through to successful comple-

Lehigh X'alley Raihoad from New York to the West.
"Deeply imbued with advanced Repul^lican principles, Mr. Titus
has always been active in the counsels of the party, helping to place
the first l-Yemont 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 bv a combination
of delegates from the other counties.
"Mr. Titus was married on the nth 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. He 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. Me graduated at llobart
College, 1835. Trustee of llobart College, 1860-8. President
Alumni Association of Hobart College, 1862. Lawyer. Protestant
Episcopal minister. Ordained in 1850. Deputy to Gen. (Convention.
He married ( I St), Dec. 23, 1839, Eleanor Board Johnson. 70171.
She died 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. \., in 18 16.
and was graduated from Geneva College, now Hobart, in 1836. He
moved to Ithaca, N. Y., where he studied law, was admitted to the
bar, and married Miss Eleanor Johnson in 1839. After her death,
in 1849, he decided to enter the 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 Oswego as rector of Christ Church.
"In 1862 Dr. Schuyler was called to Christ Church, Rochester,
where he remained till 1868, when he came to Orange as rector of
Grace Church. He 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 being 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. Although
eighty-four years of age, all his faculties were keen up to his death.
He was beloved among his associates in the clergy and by all classes
in the Oranges.
"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
is expected that nearly all the clergy in the Diocese will be present in
their vestments. The honorary pallbearers will be the vestry of the
church — William M. Franklin, Jonathan J. Broome. Jay C. Young.

church on Saturday from S a. m. to 2 i>. m., and will betaken on Sun-
day to Geneva where the burial will take place on Monday,"
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-tifth 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 16. 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 Episcopal 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 Churcii. in ( )s-
wego, N. Y. Ill 1S62 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.'I.D. ujion
him. Since the foundation of the Diocese of Newark he iiad been
Chairman of the Standing Committee on the Constitution and Can-
ons, besides representing his Diocese in the general conventions.
Skvkntii Gknkkation. m;
"As a pulpit orator, Dr. Schuyler was a simple and direct
speaker and a writer of simple but unmistakably scholarly Knglisli.
Two volumes of his sermons have been published — • Household Reli-
gion,' in 1887, and 'The Incarnate Word.' in 1899.
"Dr. Schuyler was twice married. His first wife, to whom he
was wedded in 1839, was Miss Eleanor Johnson, daughter of Hen
Johnson of Ithaca. She died in 1849, leaving a daughter and three
sons ; two sons are now living — C'harles B. and Montgtjmery Schuy-
ler. In i860 he was married to Miss Mary Hall Allen of Oswego,
who survives him, with a daughter and two sons — the Rev. Hamilton
Schuyler of Trenton and Anthony Schuyler, Jr."
The Orange Chronicle said :
"For over thirty-two years Dr. 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 of the community. Even those who
did not know him personally took a pride in him as a representative
man in the city, while to the members of his own church and com-
munion his passing away came with a sense of personal bereavement.
Every 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 :
"Every 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 saintline.ss in his
outward manner, but who lost no opportunity of doing something to
help those who stood in need, whether of spiritual or bodily help. I
well remember when the news came of the great fire in Chicago how
quickly he responded to the cry for help, taking, as it were, the very-
coat from his back. Vigorous, 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. Of 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 Orange Chronicle, said :
"For thirty-two years the Rev. Dr. Schuyler had been a promi-
nent clerical figure 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 societv he was affable, cordial and free from cold
conventionalities.
"Dr. Scluiyler'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 tin- indifferent and
Seventh Generation. 8iy
unrenewed in heart ; they were vigorous in thought to an unconuuon
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 pa.stor-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 ministry. Doubtless, he shrank from the tortu-
ous devices, the wiles and subtleties which are sometimes found
associated wdth the practice of that profession. Full of years and
honors, this servant of God rests from his labors, and his works do
follow him. He sought not the applause of men and none offered
him reproach.
"The Christian pastor, faithful and beloved ; the loving father,
husband and friend ; the humble follower of Christ, the gentle, guile-
less spirit has entered into the rest that remaineth to the people of
God. This 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. (}. 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 tlie 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 Highhelds, Penn-road. Wolverhampton. — Wolver-
hampton (Eng.) 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.
"Eive 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 tlie 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. Ilolland, they found Mr.
Marston on the dock to greet them, and he traveled witii them in
Holland, (lermany and Austria, and while in Carinam tin- part\ re-
EicnTu 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. But last winter he suddenly appeared at the home of his friends
in New York — 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 banishment from home and countrj'.
"A correspondence followed and the same party again crossed
the Atlantic this last summer, landing at Antwerp in Belgium ; and
to show how fast Mr. Marston 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 first class stump speaker. He journeyed with them
through Belgium, France and into beautiful 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.
"As a slight proof of the esteem in which the young couple are
held by a large circle of friends, we would say that they have been
almost 'snowed under' with useful, beautiful and valuable presents."

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
Andre. He and his associates received from Congress a silver medal
each, and were awarded an annuity of $200. 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 I'aulding'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 Recjua, 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 I'eacock, antl 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
headquarters of General 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 G. Smith redeemed
the watch from them for thirty guineas ; which, and the money re-
ceived for the horse, saddle and bridle, they divided equally among
themselves and four other persons, who belonged to their party, but
when Andre was taken, were about half a mile oft, 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 nim and VanWart and Williams, by Congress,
were presented to them by General Washington, when the army was
encamped at Verplanck's Point, 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 VanWart, taken on the 28th of January last, and which he
has read, says the same is in substance true.

who arrested Major Andre ; and that at no time during the Revolu-

acquaintances, that they or either of them held any undue intercourse
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 ^'anWart 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
Van Wart, 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,
where he had been a conspicuous figure for so long. He had natural
legal ability rarely found, and as a trial lawyer had won many notable
victories in our local courts. The sympathy of the community is felt
for his widow and sons and daughter."

written by Mrs. Dey :
"Beau FORI', N. C, Feb. iS, 1902.
'•Dear Sir :— Mr. J. W. Dey. of Newark, N. j.. luis sent me a
letter written by yourself to him, dated Dec. 9, 1901, with reciuest
that I 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, 181 5. His parents were Joseph Dey and his wife.
Elizabeth 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."
107265. William Dey. The fdllowing letters were written by
him :
"Golden Gate, Minn., P. O. Sleepy Eye, R. R. 2.
"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. Dev.'"
"Sleepy Eye, Minn.. Feb. 7, 1902.
"Dear Sir: — I know little or nothing of my father's ancestors.
I 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 1S74; my father's name was Robert.
There was quite a number of Deys in and around Aberdeen.
"Yours respectfully,
"William Dkv."

THE FAMILY IN ENGLAND.
(From the Dictionary of National Biography, Edited
BY Sidney Lee.)
"Andrew Boorde or Borde (i49o?-i549) traveller and physi-
cian," "Andreas Parforatus," as he jocosely calls himself, was born
at "Boord's Hill in Holmsdayle," near Cuckfield, Sussex, some time
before or about 1490, as by 152 1 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 suffrjgan 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 llinton 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 Fnglandc" in 1530.
The Board Family in England. 891
He stayed with Sir Robert Diewry, attended and cured tlie Duke of
Norfolk, and was by him "connocated to wayte on his prepotent
mageste, Henry Vni". He desiring ''to have a trewe cognyscycjn
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 Orleans,
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 Knglish
and Scotchmen. By 29 May, 1534, Boorde was back at the London
Charterhouse, and took 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 \lll ; and
to Cromwell he writes from Bordeaux on 20 June, 1535: '"Sens
my departyng from you, I have perlustratyd Normandy, Frawnce,
Gascony and Byon (Bayonne); the regyons also of Castyle, Biscay,
Spayne, paarte of Portyvgale, and returned thorow Arogon, Xanerne,
and now an att Burdyose, and few frendys Ynglond hath in theys
partes of Europe, as Jesus, your louer knowth." The pope, emperor
and all other Christian 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). On his
recovery 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 oflf my lyuyng." He disliked the
Scotch : "Trust yow no Skott, for they wyll yowse flatter)'ng 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-
892 History of the Board Family.
doners, who called him '\ipposta/a. and all-to-no\vght" (good for
nothing), 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,
.\ntwerp, 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 "Dyetary" he 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 him.self, 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 off.
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 "I'ronosticacion" 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 iiad
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"j, and his
"Introduction of Knowledge," besides a second edition of his "Dye-
The Board Family in Kngland. S93
tary". Soon after this, "within this eight yere," says the Bishop of
Winchester, Dr. John Poynet, in 1556, Hoorde 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 Loiuk)n, and there,
on 9 April. 1549, made his will, leaving two houses in Lynn (which
Recorder Conysby had given him), tenements in Fevensey, Sussex
(which he got on the death of his brother), and houses and chattels
in and about Winchester. He died soon after, probably near sixty
years old, and his will was proved on 25 April, 1549.
Besides the books above named, Boorde's "Itinerary of Kngland,"
or "Perigination of Doctor Boorde" was printed by Hearne in 1735;
his "Itinerary of Europe," and his "Boke of Sermons" are not known
to exist; two bits of "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 Gotam," "Scogins Jests" ("an idle thing unjustly
fathered upon Dr. Boorde" says Anthony a Wood), "The Myluer of
Abynton," and a jocose poem on friars, "Nos Vagabunduli". He is
also absurdly supposed to have been the original Merryandrew. The
"Promptuarium Physics" and "De Indicijs urinarium," which Bale
assigns to Boorde, 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 En.tflish man, and naked I stand here,
Musyng in my niynd what rayinent I shal were ;
For now I wj'll 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 cheery, frank,
bright, helpful, and sensible fellow who penned them.

The following letter refers to the home of the Boards in England :
"1. AusriN 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 e;iough for business matters.
"Our family is no way related to the Board family. My father
purchased the property of Paxhill about 1862. The Board family, I
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 find you a photograph of the original house and
my father's additions.
"Are vou aware that one of the Boards was Andrew, Private
Chaplain to Henry VHI., 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 ! ! It was his one
hobby and being a good antiquarian he made a lovely place of it. It
ntjw belongs to a Mr. Strudy, a London stock broker.

CORNELIUS BOARD, OF BOARDVILLE, N. J. (1730.)
FIRST GENERATION,
125000. Cornelius Board. He came from Sussex, England
(o. Wales), with his wife Elizabeth and two sons, James and David,
in 1730, to discover copper mines for Lord Sterling, and settled first
at Bloomfield, Essex Co., N. J., and later at Boardville. Pompton
Township, Passaic County, N. J. He was a civil engineer and sur-
veyor. Cornelius Board, the original Board 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 York for copper ore. He traveled up
the Ramapo Valley, and on one of the head waters of the Ramapo
creek he found not copper but iron in great abundance. Tiic place
of this rind 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 Board, 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 Aiiiboy, N. J., says :
"CorneUus Board, on 17th of August, 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 i8gi, says:
"Cornelius Board was seeking for copper mines and bought, in
'73-> '57 i^cres 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 Wanaque 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, Y., by E. M. Ruttenber 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."
"Jo.seph Board, of Bergen County, to Nicholas Gouverneur and
others ; 'Part of tract surveyed to Cornelius Board, deceased, on tlie
28th of Feb., 1739,' being same tract deeded to Elizabeth l^oard by
Jonatiian Davis and Joseph Bertram, trustees of Cornelius Board.
Feb. 1, 1764."
"Jonathan Davis and Joseph Bertram, trustees of Cornelius
Board, decea.sed, to Walter Ervin. May 6, 1754."
Probate Records say :
First Gi:n1':kation. 911
"Cornelius lioard, by will, left property at Ringwoocl, Herjjen
Co., to be divided among his three sons. Ample provision is made
for his 'kind and lo\in<; wife, Mli/abeth Hoard,' and after all debts
are paid, 'the remaining part of my personal estate is to be divided
into four parts as near in quality as possible,' and these four parts he
gives and bequeaths one each to his four daughters. Youngest son
Joseph made sole executor."

he settled. He afterwards bought 118 acres of land adjoining his

(irove. 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 ( )range County Agricultural Society. He
was one of the original incorporators and stockholders of the Chester
liank, 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 I'resbyterian Church of Chester in 1.S37,
and his wife is (1881) one of the oldest living members of that body.
For forty-two years he was a manager of the ( )range County Bible

Society for the town of Blooming Grove. In politics he was a Re-
publican, and was a delegate to the state conventions of his party at
different times. He was for many years a Justice of the I'eace, and

where he remained until he reached his majority, when he purchased
140 acres of land near his uncle's, upon which he resided until 1S50.
He was a thorough going farmer, and dealt considerably in cattle,
and for fifteen years supplied West Point with meat. In 1S49 he was

was one of the building committee of the Chester Academy in 1842
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 administrator and executor 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 officially 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., N. \.. by E. M. Ruttenber & L. H.
Clark (1881), says of him :
"Young Heard was five years old when his mother came to
(Joshen. 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 Gicneration. 933
reached his majority, and thus he was looked upon by his aunt as ilie
only male representative to take charge of the farm 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 1812, 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 Goshen and the welfare of its citizens.
He was an influential member for many years of the Board of Trus-
tees of the Presbyterian Church, until the building of the present
church editice, 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 Goshen, 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 these business relations. In 1855 he was appointed
by the court, with Hon. James G. Graham and Beverly Johnson. Ksq..
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 VVheaton 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 l)a\id A. Scott, Esq., both
of Newburgh, to assess like damages on the Poughkeepsie and East-
ern Railroad in Dutchess County. Also, in i86g, with D. A. Scott.
Esq., of ( )range, and Hon. Sa.xton Smith of Putnam County, to
equalize the taxes 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

(pronounced as if spelled "Kews") family came to this country from
VVigtonshire, Scotland, in the person of William Keous, born 1741,
who graduated at Harvard College in the class of 1768. Theodore
Mitchell Koues was a descendant of John Winthrop, first governor of
Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1630, and of Thomas Dudley, second
Governor (1634) of same colony.) He was born Jan. 31, i8ii,at
Portsmouth, N. H. He married, Aug. 8, 1838, by Rev. Dr. Knox of
the Dutch Collegiate Church, Louisa Henderson Monroe Board.

Children :
135126. Louise Winthrop. Born in New Orleans. Student at Barnard
College of Columbia University. She is a member of tlie Society
of Daughters 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 .\nieri-
can history, offered by the New York City chapter of the
Daughters of the American 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 IMontague, commander-in-chief of Manhattan
Island 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 .Xmerican history
93^ History ok 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 Kngland. 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 chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution,
as it was founded at her suggestion." Harper's Bazar, Nov. 19,
1899, says : "The first successful candidate for the Mrs. Donald
McLean scholarship in American history, offered by the New
York City Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion, is Miss Louise Winthrop Koues. Miss Koues has always
been a student and lover of books, and of late ^-ears she has
devoted much attention to .\merican history and genealogy, and
for this reason, determined to try for the new scholarship. She
believes the way to become interested in general history is to
study family liistorj- — 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 Winthrop
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 VA-
wanl Hilton the elder, who is known as the "I-'athcr of New
Hampshire,' being the first settler in that district. Other pater-
nal ancestors are Deputy Governor Samuel Sytnonds and his
noted wife, Dorothy Harlakenden, of the old Ivnglish family of
that name. (Jn her mother's side she goes back to the first
settlers of Manhattan Island, through the ol<l Knickerbocker
families of Bogert, Bancker, and Johannes de la Montaigne, a
HugueiKJt of rank, who lied to Holland from tin.- l"ri iich j)erse-
culion, and tluiice to .American shores wIktc he married Rachel
de l'ore.st. Among her Rtvolntionary ancestors are William
Keous — who spelled the name in the old-fashioned manner-:-a
grarluate of H.irv.ird, class of 176.S, and a menibir (tf tlie Brent-

wood cominittee of correspondence, I**ebruary, 1775 ; and Will-
iam Leaycroft, an ofTicer of artillery in the Continental line in
New York's "crack" rej^inicnt. He was present at the siej(e
and surrender of Yorklown, and later, when j)eace was de-
clared, was one of the founders of the Order of llu- Ciiiciiiiiali.
Miss Koues was born in New Orleans, but her father was a
native of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and her mother a New
Yorker. She has passed most of her life in New York, but
went abroad to finish her education. She is nuicli ()ccu])ied in
philanthropic and church work, and it was she who orij^inated
the idea and plan which have developed into the Woman's
Auxiliary to the Board of INIissions of the Episcopal Church.
She is the first and only historian of the Governor Thomas
Dudley Family Association, formed in 1S92, which meets an-
nually in Boston, and which numbers a lonj^ list of well-known
members, such as President ICliotof Harvard, President (Tilnian
of the Johns Hopkins University, Anson Phelps Stokes, Wood-
bury G. Langdon, and ex-Governor George Peabo<ly \Vetmr)re.
At present she is busy pursuing her historical .studies at Colum-
bia and Barnard, having gained her scholarship through com-
petitive examination there. She is enjoying the work so con-
genial to her." Residence, 1901, 2914 Broadway, New York

•lie spent his early life upon the homestead. His education
was acquired at the neighboring public schools, and later at Decker-
town (N. J.) Academy. His tastes led him to follow the calling of a
Fii'Tii Genhkatio.n. 947
fanner, to which his time and attention were entirely devoted. In-
dustry combined witli 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. He 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 Hank, hav-
ing been a Trustee of the latter institution. His religious affiliations
were with the Reformed Dutch Church, of which 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. 11 c

950 History of the Board Family.
They were both engaged in farming and kimbering 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. On
this farm Gen. Sullivan found 175 acres of corn, which he destroyed
when he made his memorable march through the Chemung Valley in
1779. A few of the barn holes where the Indians buried their grain
are yet plainly visible. One 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 Cap-
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 M. Board died of paresis Tuesday at his home in Metu-
chen, N. 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. Under date of Feb. i, 1855, he received the following letter :
"John M. Board: Dear Sir — At 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 Ritchimis.
"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 eciuipped
men for the front when the war began, and aided their famihes 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 Fulton 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 Foremen's Association. At 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-

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 mming for about ten years in tiie lilack
Hills, but stopped operations last year on account of a scarcity of
funds. Her object in going to Klondike is to obtain sutlicient means

with which to carry on somewhat extensive operations in her Black
Mills mines. Miss Board has outtitted her expedition of men and
women for ^450 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 cjuite 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. Board was an inti-
mate friend of Horace Greeley."

AVER
AYni:s TT I sTOK^\
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 thcMu 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 shalt be from Truelove called Eyer," said William, '"for thou
hast given me to breathe the pure air of heaven."
FIRST GENERATION.

1635-
160000. John Aver. He was the son of Thomas Ayer, County
of Dorset, England. He was born in 1590 in Wiltshire. England.
He married Hannah. He came from England to Newbury. Mass..
in 1635. His will was proved Oct. 6, 1657. (Reg VI. 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.

Brookheld Capt. Joiin who was killed in 1675), who was living in
1792. The records show this also by giving his marriages and issue.

185000. Capt. J. Jeffrey Ayres. (Nathaniel', Richard*.
Nathaniel', Moses\ John^, Obadiah^ John'.) 1 80001. He was born
December 19, 181 1, in Ulysses, Tompkins Co., N. Y. He married,
in 1838 (o. 1839), by Rev. John P. Hudson, Cordelia Derby (daugh-
ter of Reuben and Abigail Derby of Williamsport Pa.}.
At the time of his death a Williamsport newspaper said :
"Captain J. Jeffrey Ayres was born in the town of Ulysses,
Tompkins County, N. Y., December, 181 1. He was married in this
city in 1839, to Miss Cordelia Derby, daughter of Mr. Reuben Derby,
the ofhciating 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 Opera 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 ofhce 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 1.S6.S. His connection witli this company
lilCIITU (ii:Ni:UATI()N. 985
ceased in 1869, being superseded l>y llcnry W. Watson, i;s(|. He
reniaiiK'd out of the book ttadt.- till ( )ctober, 1851, when he again
embarked in it in connection with Messrs. Anthony iV Jones, and
they carried on business in the building opposite the old United
States Hotel, now the I'irst National Hank 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
public, 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. A. I). Lundy, his son-in-law, became asso-
ciated with him in business, under the firm of Ayres c\: Lundy. In
1866 they purchased the property on East Third street, of Mr. ('. 15.
Bowman, where the book store and postoffice are now located. In
April, 1S67, 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 w-as 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 Generals 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
Williamsport are indebted for the present postoffice. 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.
"(Jn the first of April, 1870. Messrs. .\yrc.s vV Lundy sold out
their book, paper and stationery business to Mr. .A. I. Weise, to give
their entire attention to the insurance business, which was a very
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 firm 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. Jeffrey Ayres, Williamsport 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 he 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 Captam 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 Williamsport newspaper said :
"Mrs. Cordelia I). Ayres, of this city, died at about 12 o'clock
Saturday. Ilcr 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 "jT, years of age.
"The deceased v/as, before her marriage. Miss Cordelia Derby.
She was the daughter of Reuben and .Abigail Derby, wlio came to
this city from New York state in 1834. In 1838 she was married to

Y., whence they returned to W'illianisport in 1840. Mr. Ayres
opened the first book and stationery store in tlic city, an establish-
ment which is still in existence. He served two terms as postmaster
of the city. Mr. Ayres died August 24, 1880. Ilis 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 influence, so far as health would permit, into the
various charitable avenues of service for which the ladies of Williams-
port are so w^ell 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."

988 History of the Ayres Family.
At the time of his death the Klniira Evening Star said :
"Of Mr. Ayres, Ausborn Towner, in his biographical sketches,
says:
" 'Some alkision has already been made to this citizen of Elniira,
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
filled 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 shalt 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 1787, was the father of
Socrates Ayres, who was born in Ulysses, Tompkins County, New-
York, October 14. 1S14. The mother of Socrates Ayies was Lucretia
Hcckwith, who was born on November 7, 1792, and was married to
Natlianiel Ayres October 28, 18 13.
" 'Nathaniel and Eucretia Ayres, both inheriting some of the best
blood of this country, lived and died on tlieir farm near Trumans-
hurg, N. Y. Their son, Socrates, remained on the same place until
he was .seventeen years of age, which was in tlie year 1831. He was
KicHTii ( ii:ni-.kati(in. yby
then apprenticed to a jeweler for a lenn 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 fidui close attention to his affairs and
after a year and a half in I'.liuira he returned to his father's farm for
six months to recuperate. With repaired strength in the fall of 1837
he opened a place of business in Penn Van, 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 e\en now refer to the spot as 'Ayres'
corner'.
•''He was one of the earliest insurance agents that established
that line of business in the vallev, having alwavs and retaining: to
this day companies on his list of the highest standing."
"Mr. Ayres also did business on the south side of Water street
between 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
quiet 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 1S56. 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, \Nilliam Viall.
John K. Perry, William Foster and many another long since rewarded.
''To the church Mr. Avres 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 Ayrrs 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 affliction, 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 closes 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 1814. 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 iiealth, 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 I'enn Van, where he
remained until 1844. He then came to Elmira again, and had re-
sided here ever since. Eor over thirty years he conducted a good
Kir.iiTii Generation. 991
bubiness at what is now the coiner of Lake and W'alci 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 manhness unsurpassed by anv citi/cn of
Elmira.
"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. .\yres
there began their 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 B. Taylor and Henry E. 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-
man, 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 1S41.
while living in Penn Yan, was married to Miss Susan Harris, a
daughter 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 infiuence 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 beli^efs, 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 whicli he has been attached. Very soon
after he came to Elmira he was made an official 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 acquaintances 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 afTections 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 witli fortitude and resigna-
tion the sufferings of her final illness, and saw the end ai)proach, 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 oilier
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.

"Mrs. Susan Harris Ayres was born ( tcl. 19, 1S15, at I'lne
Plains, Dutchess County, N. Y., and belonged to a family of high
distinction and social proniinciice in early American history. She
married Socrates Ayres while residing in I'enn \'an. May 30, 1841,
from which place she came with her husband to Klmira in i.S.ji.
where they have spent nearly half a century in .1 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 l-jnmel
Ayres of Syracuse, and Frederick S. Ayres of Elmira, 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 acquaintances. 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 fifty 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 manv 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. ( )ne
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 it 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 infiuence 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 flowers is sweeter than
the fragrant memory of such a pure and holy life.

lector of Internal Revenue. Presidential Elector. Member of Mis-
souri Constitutional Convention. Judge of Platte County.
At the time of his death a Leavenworth daily newspaper said :
"Judge Aller's devotion to duty was almost remarkable. When
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.
After court he visited the ofiice of the chief of police at headciuarters
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. A gentleman present suggested to him that it would
be better for him to remain at home and not tr}' 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 pas.sed 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 .\ller was generous
and 'good-hearted' and the people thought much of him.
"Henry M. Aller was 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 di.strict. 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, X. Y., in 1827. As a youth he worked on a farm
and in a tannery and was graduated from ilu- Genesee College. He
founded the KImira Academy at Klmira. N. \. in 1860 he came

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 'I'odd 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 surveying 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 city. He leaves a wife and two children, Mrs. N. W.
Todd and Henry j. Aller, Jr."

this city in 187 1. He received his education in the public
schools of Leavenworth, and later was in the employ of the
Bittman Todd (irocery Company. After serving several years
with the firm he was interested with J. Stejihens in the cellu-
lose mattress business. Mr. Aller was received in the Metho-
dist Church in 1884 by the Rev. C. B. Mitchell, and wai> ven,-
popular in church circles, and was for several years a director
of the V. M. C. .\. In 1890 Mr. Aller starte<l a mission school

of this community, as he was prominent in business circles and

child, in addition to a mother and sister."

185073. Sue K. Died Sept. 14, 18S2, 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
hut 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 crudest visitations of the remorseless messen-
ger— him of the hour-glass and scythe — that it has ever been
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 and joy
that now rigid form liad ceased to flow 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 Aller, one of Leavenwoith's most accomplished young
ladies, daughter of Hon. H. M. Aller, proprietor of The Press,
and Mr. Win. F. Spencer, of the driig 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 INIr. Spencer, when about three hundred yards south
of the bridge that sjjans 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. ISIiss
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. \'anDuyn, S. F. P'ew 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 sulTerings. Slie never spoke a word after the ac-
cident and neither by motion or sign gave evidence of con-
sciousness. Her injuries were chielly confined to the neck and
head. Her skull received a bad fracture, a portion of it being
driven into the brain, which, ujx)!! being removed by the phy-
sician, seemed to afford some relief to the suiTerer, as she
hrealheil easier and uttered a low moan, the first au<lil)le evi-

dence of life she li:iil iiianiffsted after heinj^ taken from uii<ler
the carriage. This is a terrible hlow to Judge AUer and hi»
family, who all idoli/cd Susie. She was the joy and light <jf
the family circle ; intelligent and noble hearted, she was uni-
versally esteemed and loved." The Leavenworth Times at the
lime of her death said : "The sad accident which bereft our city
of one of its purest gems, and leaves an estimable young gen-
tleman hovering between this world and the great silent lK-yon«l,
is yet fresh in the memory of the readers of The Times. On
Sunday afternoon the funeral of Miss Sue K. .\ller. who lost
her life in that fatal ride, toward I'ort Leavenworth, took jdace
from the residence of Hon. H. M. .\ller, her father, on Tine
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 a.ssemblage
was the largest ever seen at a funeral in any private family in
the city. Rev. W. H. Thomas preached the funeral sermon,
during which he paid a high tribute to the memory of the de-
ceased, remembering her spotless character and the void her
absence will create among the people who ajjpreciate the goo<l
that comes of little acts of kindness from a pure motive."

Mr. Grover Avers, Jr., at the Central Baptist Church Saturday
was largely attended, the church being crowded to its utmost
capacity. This j'oung man who grew up among you, the
schoolmate in the public and 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 his ripest 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 not 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."

15, 1841, at Trenton, N. Y. He graduated at Genesee College, and
received the degree of A.M. in 1872, and Ph.D. in 1882 from Syra-
cuse University. He registered at college from Carthage, N. Y.
While in college he was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fra-
ternity and the Mystic Society. He married, Sept. i, 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
Street Church, 1876-7; Syracuse Centenary, 1877-80; Clyde.
1880-3 ; Klmira Hedding Church, 1883-6. He travelled in Europe
in 1886. He enlisted in the United 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 llic public schools of Elmira and the Elmira
College, graduating from the college in 1863 with the degree of Bach-
Ninth ('. i,m: ration . 1003
elor of Arts. She was married to Rev. Oscar A. HdukIUuii, at that
time pastor of the Methodist I'.piscopal Churcli in Wolcott, N. Y.,
Sept. I, 1869. Since then Dr. Houghton has served churches as
follows: Syracuse (First ward, and West (lenesee street), Ithaca,
Syracuse (Centenary), Clyde, Klmira (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
living in Syracuse in 1893-5 she took resident postgraduate .study in
Syracuse University under Prof. W'm. H. Mace. Her major subject
was American constitutional history and her minor subject Knglish
mediaeval history. In 1S95 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 Beta 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-
ris A. Houghton, a fourth-year student in the College of Medicine.

Syracuse University, two brothers, Frederick S. Ayres of Elmira and
Win. F. Ayres of New York.
"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 Flmira, 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, 1843, 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 MethodLst Church, with which he was connected not far
from a half century. There li\es in Flmira a woman wlio remembers
the day when he and his wife, 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 voung man
just beginning the work of ministry, supplied the Eir.st Methodist
(."hurth 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 frecjuent visitor here, and sustained close rela-
tions to former friends and an undiminished love for the old places.
Ninth Genkration. 1005
Indeed her returns have seemed like those of one who, from time to
time, simply came to her own again.
"Twice Dr. Houghton has been appointed to Klmira 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 quick and true. Her patience in following their
leadings was untiring. On the day when her son and only child.
Harris, was graduated from Syracuse I'niversity, 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 effort. These plans were broken otT by death.
"For about two years Mrs. Houghton has suffered from the
illness that has ended her earthly life. Every 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-
quer. 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 ! 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."

loio History of the Ayres Family.
9, 1901. Murray E. Poole, Ithaca, N. Y. Dear Sir: — In the
July number of the New England Historic and Genealogical
Magazine is the notice over your name of the publication of
genealogies of various names. Among them — Ayers — and I am
writing to you hoping you will be able with your researches to
make connection with my family. My great-grandfather,
Jacob Ayers, came to this county at the close of 1795 from
Salisbury, N. C. I have a letter from his father Moses written
to Jacob in 1803 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
Ayers dated 1792. I wrote to General Hampton and sent copies
of these papers. He wrote me they were signed by his grand-
father. Now this is m}' line as I know it : Moses and Dorcas
Ayers; Jacob and Innocent; Nathaniel and I\Iary 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 Ayers 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. I have written a great many letters to North Carolina,
and while some of the parties to whom 1 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
Ayers 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, saj-s the family moved to
North Carolina from New Jersey. Now I am writing to you as
a dernier ressort. 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
AvKR.s." "109 Luck Ave., Zanesville, Ohio, July 15. Dear
Sir : — Yours of Hit- i ilh inst. received. In giving me my line'
I am sure there is a geuL-raticui 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 July 7,
1803. According to lli;il my great-great-grandfather must have
been nearly one hundred years old, wliich is scarcely i)ossil)le.
He speaks of sons David, Samuel, William, Moses and wife
Tanache and son Reyle, Mercy and Hugh living in his neigh-
borhood. It is the descendants of these I have tried to reach
but have faileil. I give tliis .is afTording a jio.ssible clue.

Where is that inissinj,' jjraiul father with their ^jreats? Yours,

Dear Sir : — Hnclosed is a rough draft (jf lu y branch of the Avers
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 Coiuuit,
'clear as a bell,' and I should liki.- to do the same with the .\yers
line. I was told there was a prominent .\yers family living in
Danville, Va. Was advised by some one in North Carolina to
write to Mrs. John Penn, Regent of D. A. R., Danville. Va.,
for information, but I had written so niany letters and gotten
no information I gave up discouraged. Before writing this I
have read over all the letters of relatives I apjjlied to. I-'very one
says there is a strong tradition of Scotch descent. The tradition
may be the result of the early association with the Scotch
emigrants in North Carolina. I have nothing to show that we
are descended from the New Jersey family — only tra<lition. Do
you want every date possible? Very truly, CLAk.\ .\ykrs."

of proprietar}- medicines and as an organizer and financier. In his
veins ran the blood of old American families, distinguished for per-
sonal character and active interest in public affairs. Ayer's Almanac
was given away by the millions of copies. A large laboratory was
built to accommodate the growing manufacture and was expanded
until it gave employment to nearly three hundred persons. In 1874
he received the Republican nomination for Congress. He left a for-
tune of twenty million dollars. He died July 3, 1878. Residence,

Tomlinson & Co. After three years he became a partner of Dennis
McCarthy and in 1855 removed to Lowell, Mass., where he entered
the firm of which his brother was the head. At the incorporation of
the firm in 1877 as the J. C. Ayer Company, he was made treasurer
which oftice he resigned in 1893. In 187 1 when the Tremont mills
and the Suffolk Manufacturing Company were in a state of bank-
ruptcy, a controlling interest was purchased by James C. and Freder-
ick Ayer, who combined the two under the name of the Tremont &
Suffolk mills. The company soon attained unquestioned prosperity.
He became President of the Lowell c*v- Andover railroad and director
of the Keweenaw Association. In 18S5 he purchased the Washing-
ton mills, Lawrence, Mass., afterwards incorporated as the Washing-
ton Mills Company, of which he was President the first year and has
been Treasurer ever since. He succeeded his brother, in 1878, as

"When the term of Daniel Haines as associate justice expired,
it devolved upon Marcus L. Ward, then Governor of New Jersey, to
IOI4

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. But this was not remarkable ; the
chief magistrate of the State had had ven,- 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 Belvidere, thus recognized by
members of the Bar as fully fitted for the office 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 prej^aration 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,
Appkxdix X\'III. 1015
then one of the leading lawyers of Uelvidere. 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 IL S. District Attorney of New Jersey.
"Judge Depue was licensed as an attorney in 1849, 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 Belvidere, 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 I'nion.
"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 Ivssex 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 tirst term of court held by him, Judge Depue
fastened himself upon the affection arid 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 conflicting 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 convincing argument, they clearly see w hat their
duty is in the case, and what is the 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 unnecessar}' 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 !' 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 den)onstrable.
"Judge Depue took his seat on tlie 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 .Will. 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 1S73 '"''^ ^^^^ term closed, and he was renominated by (iov-
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. Mis 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. lie 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 CORRHCTIUNS.
The name and its synonyms : Ayres, Ayer, Ayre, Kyer, Eyre,
etc., is not uncommon. It is found dating back to the nth 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 Conqueror at the Battle 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 off
and horsed him again. Duke William told him : "Thou shalt here-
after instead of Trulove be called Eyre (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 ofi. 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 acre
florent.

1042 History of thk Treman Family.
"If one hundred American citizens were to be asked to name
the most influential man in Congress, ninety-nine of them would reply
off-hand. The 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, Flkins, 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 I want to put a bill through Congress,' said one of them,
T 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, luther 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 1)111 comes up. He can
make a great speech on the tarifi". It is a matter of principle with
him, and he will wax elocjuent on the iiiiciuity 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.

Sixth Ohnkkation. 1043
Uul 1 have never studied Ihe details of it, and neither has he. John
will get up and deliver his oration, and then that little fellow .Mdrich
on the other side will ask him .something; about schedules. He will
ask him about the duty on steel rails, or linplate, or suf^ar. or nails,
or something of that kind, and John won't know what to say. Me
never heard of a schedule in his life, and he won't be in it. .Ml 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
ll^ncle Dick refused to stand. Palmer was elected, and the result
was just what Uncle Dick had foretold.
"The incident illustrates how Aldrich has gained his hold. He
is a specialist. He knows the tariff from .\ 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 (juestion vitally affecting
business interests in which Aldrich 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. On questions 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 satisfactorj' to him. .\ 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 Treman 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 ver^^ 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 re-elected 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 iind himself least at home.
Sixth Gi:ni:kation. i(^5
"When Aldrich entered the Senate tlic tariff c|uestion was just
beginning to assume an important place in legislation. The Tariff
Commission which framed the tarifl' 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 stale 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 ffnance. There is probably no
man in Congress who has read more thoroughly or understandingly
than he. His library on rtnancial topics is one of the most comj)lete
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 \ermont, 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 financier who
had sat in the Senate in a generation. But the schedules of the
tariff 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 Aldrich 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 duty. He 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 quietly 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 tarifT 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. 'IMie 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. I'he other members had their suggestions with
regard to industries in which they were especially interested ; but
Aldrich was interested m all industries, and it was easy for them to

let him have his way. When the bill went back U) llic 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 McKinley's. What was true of the McKinley bill in 1890.
was true also of the Dingley bill in i,S(/., 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 pnlitiral
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 Quay, 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. Bearing 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, lie
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
influential 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 qualities 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 final 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 he 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
Wilson-Gorman act was dictated by Aldrich almost word for word,
and there were many other schedules about which 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 tarift 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 they 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 witli a Democratic Senate on this great ques-

tion of party policy he is constantly {joing with ilu- Dcniocratic
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 op|)f)nents, 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 indilTerence to
him whether his name figures in the newspapers or not. lit- is not
looking for anything in a political way beyond what he already has.
So long as he can get substantially what he wants into 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 theni have
their vanities and ambitions.
"Aldrich has never found it necessary 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
tho.se who frequented the White House. He is independent of Presi-
dents. 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 influence to further his
legislative projects. McKinley wanted him to be Secretar)- 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
I050 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 effort. 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 witli men of capital he has been able to accumulate a great deal
of money. But 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 h.id in the
world. It was in this old farmhouse, which will be torn down before
long, that the wedding of his second daughter and John I). Rocke-
feller, Jr., took place a few weeks ago. Stories of the princely elab-
orateness of that affair had their origin in the imagination of the
newspaper men.

"In personal appearance Aldrich is one of the handsomest men
in public life, lie has a well-knit frame. His fmely 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 again.st all sorts
of people and knows how to live — a man of the wf)rld, not over-bur-
dened with sentiment, and not worrying about other people's ills."

215800. Hon. Lyman Tremain. 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 subsecjuently became a student at the Kinder-
hook academy, an institution whicii was, at that time, one of the most
flouri.shing 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 academ\' an original speech whicii was the subject
of very complimentary remarks by the audience that heard it. He
SKVENTII f.KNKRATION. IO53
left school soon after, and at the age of liflccn entered tlie law oftice,
in Durham, of John O'Brien, 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 'i'remain. earnestly, zealously,
early 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 questions 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 skimmed 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.
O'Brien. He left there shortly before he was admitted, and entered
the office of Samuel Sherwood, Ksc|., 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. O'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, lie 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

Common Pleas. During the brief time in which he held that office.
I054 History of the Treman 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 throughout 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 185 1 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. I'arkci and Wriglil, icfiisi-.l
the mandamus, holding that, the hoard 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 ,fuo 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 oflice and putting Mr. Hailey
to his action, when the whole matter would have ix-cn the subject of
legal investigation, with a result in accordance with legal principles.
But 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 ([uestions
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 liench.
and, by that very act, showed how worthy he was to further occupy
and adorn it. The late Judge Harris, who was a member (»f 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 Tremain 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 ujjon the broader and
higher ground of personal honor. Judge Tremain remained at Dur-
ham, in the vigorous practice of his profession, until, as has l>een
said, he removed to Albany in 1S53, 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 18C0, Judge Tremain was actively engaged
in his professional labors, and immediately upon his arrival in Albanv
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 his office, who was himself a candidate for nomination for a
1056 History of the Trkmax 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 repUed : 'I 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-
firmed. The prisoner brought error to the Court of Appeals, where all
the exceptions taken on the trial were examined and lield untenable,
liut since the trial, and prior to the judgment in the Court of Appeals,
the legislature had passed an act m relation to the punishment for
the crime of murder, which the (^)uri held was an rx post facto act.
so far as the prisoner was concerned, and as the law, under wliich
Seventh Genekation. 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 tinally discharged under the law as laid
down by the Court of Appeals. Tius action of the legislature was
by some imputed to a sympathy for the condemned woman, and as
the Supreme Court had aftirmed the judgment and the (Jovernor
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 AttorneyCJen-
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 tinally 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 postea 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 etl'orts 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 <>f -"• h

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 t)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 which, by the constitution they
were dedicated. As has been said, the claim of the people, if sue-
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, cou'd
hardly be overestimated. While Mr. Tremain was Attorney-General,
he had, upon the reciuest 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 Iiis opinion, the repealing act was unconstitutional.
Hence the action brouj^^ht by him to test the constitutionality of the
repealing act, and to recover the back tolls from tin' railroad com-
pany. The company, with a full sense of the importance of the
cau.se, 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-Jiid^e I'ai^'c. of Schenectady,
who was a director in the railroad company. The action came on
for trial before the late Judge John \V. Hrown, at the ( )range Circuit,
and resulted in a nonsuit. The people appealed to the (;eneral
Term of the Supreme Court, where the nonsuit was affirmed, and
thence to the Court of Appeals, which Court aftirnied the judgments
of the Courts below, and thus ended the question as to the legality
of the repealing act, hy 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 F. 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. Up 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 i86i,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 H.dl. in
Albany, on the 31st day of January. 1861. Pursuant to that call,
several hundred delegates, from all parts of the State, as.sembled at
Albany. The temporary president was Hon. Sanford K. 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
beeame 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. There 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. But 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.. tlie winter glided
steadily by, and nothing was done. Spring came, and Mr. Lincoln
was inaugurated. Tlien 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. I'.uU Run was fouglit. 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-
Skvknth (IivNkkation. 1061
vention and nominated State oflicers, anion;; thcin Mi. TrcMiain for
Attorney-General. This nomination he declined, 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 victory ; 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 which 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 oar 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 Mall 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, cahnness, 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 Trkman 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 January, 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. His
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 wa.s
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 Wadswdrlh as the candidate for Governor.
The Democrats nominated Horatio Seymour for Governor, and David
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. lie 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 t(K)k 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

of Congress which imparted tu ihc 'greenback' its legal-tender quaUty.
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, lie was also retained to
defend the banks upon the claims made to tax the shares in national
banks created under the act of Congress. 'I'he 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
question, 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. Mi. 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 that he could reecho the expression of King David and say,
'Would God that 1 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 1869. 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 citizen while he was engaged
in conversation at the Stanwix Hall in the city of .-Mbany. 'I'he
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 mterest. The ablest counsel were engaged to de-
fend the prisoner, among them James T. Hrady and William A. lieach.
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. Hut nothing could overcome
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
1064 History of the Treman Family.
shoot. That was the meaning of the verdict, although there was a
thin \ eil 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 inflammatory
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 the 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 tlie disease relax,
than he was impatient to be again at his work, his active mind dread-
ing nothing so much as idleness. Hut 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 mucli needed, and whicli
he had so well earned, and he accordingly, in ih.u year, sailed for
Europe in company with his wife and daiighter. He was gone about

a year, visiting Kngland, France, (Jerniany and Italy, and, durinjj 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 ofHce
of Congressman-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 i
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
Hall had been indicted as a guilty participant in the frauds, and had
been placed upon his trial. Mr. Tremain. 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 Har as an
accused man, he was able to make himself felt in the jury bo.x, and
and an agreement was not among the possibilities. I'pon this trial,
Mr. Tretnain 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 e.xamined, 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. In reason of one of the jurors, who
had been accepted, giving evidence that he was not to he relied upon

as an unbiased man. An effort was made, through a motion to the
Court to that etYect, 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 against 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 inflict. The Court,
however, decided that it had the power, and then proceeded to inflict
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 his 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 tlie
people against Stokes, for tiie murder of James Fisk, jr., Mi. Tie-
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 tliis trial, the readiness of Mr. Tremain. his c|uickness in
seeing a puint, and the accuracy of his knowledge of the fundamental
principles of criminal law, were all brought into constant play. Not
a movement escaped him ; not a word fell from the lips of witness,
ojjposing coun.sel, or from the Court, th.it he tlitl not fully compre-
hend, seize upon and turn to his own advantage as far as possible.

Wary, cool, collected and alert, the whole man was instini t 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 Sui^reme 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 productive 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, showing 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. Vet. as the session
of Congress approached, he went to Washington to take his seat as
representative at large from the Kmpire State. His reputation had
preceded him, and. without effort on his part, he was accorded an
honorable position on the judiciary committee of the House. Mi.
Tremain took rank at once among the leaders of the House, and.
although at times sutTering 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. I'pon 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 carry 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, ^"^ ^^ 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 pri.soner. 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 liim ; ami wlien he was not in
Court, he passed liis time on the l)ed. l>ut his s])irit 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
Skvicntii ('.i:ni:k.\ti()N. 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-tin»e
charm of voice and manner, and then clearly and forcibly disintej^rat-
ing the evidence for the prosecution, and denouncing, in deep and
stern tones, the tiimsy character of the people's evidence. .Ml this
he did, ably, forcibly, elocpiently, and while he was a sutTering and
broken-down man ; the Hesh being weak, but the spirit within rising
high and clear above its weakness. The jury acquitted the pri.soner,
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 magniHcent
manner of his summing up. The case was won, and Mr. Tremain
returned to Albany, worn out in body, sutlering greatly, yet much
gratified at the success of his efforts.
"This was the last important cause which Mr. Tremain ever
tried. His strength seemed never to return to him after he had
finished this trial. He had great difficulty 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, Grenville, 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.
lojo 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 astonisViment 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 very 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 juryman outside of the Court. Hut lie im-
pressed upon the jury an idea of his own faith in the case, and he

would give ihcin such plausible reasons for liiat faith, and he would
argue at one moment so smootiily, and at another plead so strongly,
and yet again denounce in thunder tones and with a righteous wratii
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. But 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 tilled by many years yet. is
diflficult 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. Tremain. It should be made more permanent,
and for that end, the foregoing outline of his honorable life has been
given."

220500. Col. Frederick Tremain. 5441. The following
is taken from a memoir of him written by his father :
"Frederick Lyman 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 February, 1865, from a gunshot wound re-
ceived in battle, near Hatcher's Run, on the 6th of February, 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, (ireene
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 accjuisition of knowledge,
and, apparently without effort, mastered whatever lessons were re-
f|uired of him, in and out of school. In all his boyish sports and

athletic exercises, he was an acknowledged leader. lie displayed
then, and through his subsequent life, an unusual degree of met hani-
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 nught 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. (^)uick in
forming his conclusions, prompt in action, fertile in resources, obsta-
cles and difiiculties 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. Barrows. 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 country, 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, 1S53, 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 Treman 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. The 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 England village, he remained pur-
suing his studies, and attracting the affectionate 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.D., 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 Hobart 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, and 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 acciuiring 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 Gknekation. 1077
"By the tiring upon Fort Sumter, his patriotism was aroused,
and he experienced an ardent desire to become a vohmteer in the
army of the Union. About this time, the people of (ieneva were en-
gaged in organizing an engineer corps, under the command of Mr.
Charles B. Stuart, formerly State luigineer and Sur\eyor. 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 e.xercises 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 invitinj^
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 Mall, in the presence
of a large and intelligent audience, and he acquitted himself quite
creditably. In the Geneva Gazette, his performance was specially
mentioned in complimentary and flattering terms.
"During the summer of 1862, after the President's call for more
men appeared, Frederick, who had never for a moment relincjuished
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 very 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
loyS History of the Treman Family,
become a member of Company A, of the Zouave Cadets, a uniformed
company in the loth Regiment of MiUtia, 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 field, 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 113th regiment of New York volunteers, which was
then in the process of being organized in the city of Albany.
"For the purpose of organizing this regiment, His Excellency,
Governor Morgan, had designated a war committee, embracing some
of the most patriotic and influential 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 Governor 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 energy, 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-

mously designated hini 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 nece.ssity of an
Adjutant for the regiment, and being accjuainted 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 (iMorris) 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 Pomfret, Surgeon, whose
duties were confined to the surgical and medical 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. How 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 tield, 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 1S64. lie-
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 examined 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 examination, 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
Dr. 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.

"Frederick was a universal favorite ainon^' the toininon soldiers.
He always treated them with kindness and justice. (^)uick to dis-
cover real merit in a private, and min<;lin{j[ much with the men, his
opinions concerning promotions had great inliuence 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. 'I'he 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
tune, 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.
"He 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 countrv.
"Influenced by these appeals, the author applied for, and in
November, obtained, for Frederick, a Presidential appointment as
Assistant Adjutant General, 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 conrtdence re-
posed in me.'
"Frederick had learned of the reputation already accjuired by
that brave and rising young General, Henry K. 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 hinjself.
The officers assembled to bid him an alTectionate 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 field of
duty and sever his connection with this regiment.
" 'He will bear witli 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 first 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 skirrhishing 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 (ieneral Pleasanton. then commanding the cavalry corps,
to leave the brigade with which he was connected, which had another
Assistant Adjutant (ieneral. and report for duty to the first brigade
and second division, which had recently lost its Assistant Adjutant
(ieneral. He assumed his new position about the middle of January.
This brigade was one of the largest and finest in tlie arin\ . and was
then under the command of Colonel Taylor. It was stationed at
Warrenton, a pleasant village in X'irginia. In April following, (xen-
Eighth Gknkkation. 1083
eral Davies was placed in command of tliis l)rif(ade. l-'rederic k re-
mained witii this brigade until his death. In a letter written January
27th, he writes of being pleasantly located, in a line oftice. in the
centre of the village, which was formerly occupied by a \'irginia 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 \)m{ ai
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 mightv
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 these movements must, necessarily, be brief
and imperfect. A few weeks before his death, Frederick, at my re-
quest, declared his resolution to prepare, at his tirst leisure moments,
a record of the battles in which he had been engaged, but alas ! that
leisure never came !
"His 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-hve battles and skirmishes during a period of ten months. My
knowledge of these is derived from his own letters, dashed otf 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 ditYerent 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

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 p. 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, General
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 by 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
H. E. Tremain, of General Gregg'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 General Davies met
him, placed him upon a bed in a room by himself, and gave him
some stimulants 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
C:U.\kI,KS M. IKI-MAINK
ElOHTII (iKNHRATION. IO85
was necessarily mortal from the first. The ball, after pcrforiuiii;; ils
course, had fallen back, and its location had deceived the surgeons
who extracted it, and who supposed it merely a Mesh wound.
"The intelligence of his death spread a deep gloom over his
entire brigade, officers and men. .\ meeting of the brigade officers,
(a rare compliment in the army), was called and attended by every
officer not absent on duty."

"Bay City, Mich., Jan. 11, 1902.
"Murray E. Poole, Esq., Ithaca, N. Y. — Dear Sir : — I 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 I 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 Tremain of Albany, N. Y., and a cousin of one
Rudolph Tremain, who I think was an old time member of the New
York Stock Exchange. My mother, nee Ellen Fick, is still living
aged eighty-three years, and I think I 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,
"H. E. Tremain."
