" Here lies great Mather Ti.iio so uobly wore
Reliiious honours and its hurdens bore:
Who in tile Synod, stayed by God alone.
Its Counsels led, ami made its nets his own;
And elsewhere aidetl — great anionLT the great —
Tile Chureh's woltare and tlie eivil state.
His solid judgment, learninsr. re.as'm. skill.
He made subservient ti_) liis Master's will.
Prudent, etiieient, lient on human weal.
For all good works he Icept a ready /.cal:
Resolving tlu-ough the power of faith and prayer.
In C'hrijt all things to do. ail Things to dare.
In thoughts like thesi; my >pirit seeks relief.

PEEFACE.
The Mather Gknealogy, povtainiuL!,- cliiefly to the dcscoinl-
ants of E;'v. Ri(^hrt'\i ^lattiev, wlv) came from Eng-laiid and
lauded in this ooimtn' ui llioo. while not as complete anil
thoroiioli as could he desired, is resue'Ctfuiiy suhmitted to his
nimierous th.^soendants, as the most satisfaetoiy vrork tonchinir
the historv of this remarkable farailv that has ever been o-iven
to the public. Tlie history of this family covers a period of more
than tvro hundred sml iiiry yeais, nuz reckoliing one hinidred
years enii«raoed in the lives of the ancestors oi Eev. Rie'hard
ilather, who lived in England.
The author has been some thirteen vears engaired in irather-
ing' tlie material for this v.-ork, and has reason to believe that
very many names and families are left out oecause of his inabil-
itv to reach rhem, Phe labor on his part of collectino: the mate-
rial hiTL'in v.-as one '.f love and pride rather than with the
expectation of having it published and realizing any adequate
remuneration for his outlay of both time and means. The
statistician and genealoiiist know from ex[)erience the extreme
difficulty of compiling works of this kind free from errors. This
work has been carefully revised wherever practicalde, and the
promoters trust that in this respect it will be found a<.'ceptable,
and in the nriin. free from mistakes.
To the student and intelligent historian this wQrk will be
acceptaldc. Xo brighter names stami in Massachusetts' early
history than those of Rev. Richard Mather's immediate descend-
ants, Dr. Increase ihither, Dr. Cottt>n blather, etc., who were
instrumental, not only in shaping the institutions and character'
6 PREFACE.
of that renowned commonwealth, but in giving tone to the
liberal sentiments that finally culminated in the adoption of
the principle of self-government.
This is not the place to defend these worthies from the
attacks made by narrow-minded thinlcers and writers, who would
do well to read carefully what Professor Pond and Rev. Chandder
Robbins, as well as other prominent authors, have testified re-
garding this noted family. One of the most precocious students
ever known Avas the son of Rev. Increase Mather, am! Harvard
University may well be proud of the name of Rev. jN'atliauiel
Mather, who graduated fr(.)m that institution at the head of his
class at the early age of sixteen years, having taken a full course,
and delivered his. valedictory in the Hebrew language, takiuir for
his theme, the condition ui' Hebrew learning througrhout the
world. At the age of seventeen, he was in correspondence Avith
the savants of the ditferent civantries of Euro|.>e in their respec-
tive languages on scientific and learned subjects, and but for his
untimely death at nineteen years of age, the world might have"
enjoyed the benefits of one of the most gigantic intellects '"hat
ever lived.
I^^TRODUCTORY
Some thirtrm yoars sinrv I iieciiu a con'L'spniulcuce with
those of my unnn' in onler tn Icjini Avhal I iMniM ol the histoi'V
of tho family in diffcivnT parts of rhr a\-oi'1(1. not at all realizing'
the immense work on liami until after I had issued a cireidar in
the ^[ather family whieh resulted in a great nnniWer i>f letters
full of interest and of informati(»n from many who lu'longeU to
other lines than tliose of New En-^land origin. I had Sii|ij>osed..
[)revious to this time, that the name in this country wa^ eontiii*'!!
almost entirely to the desc.uidants of Rev. Richard Mather. 1
found, however, that emigrations from England and Scotland,
dating: from li3>>2 down to the present time, have been very
numerous. As 1 had taken hold of the work in earnest, I did
not feel like giving it up, alth<a,idi I have very often siiu-e felt
that it was too vast an undertaking, for one situated as 1 have
i«een. to pursue tlie Inhor to its com{)letion. It has been a
I source of great satisfaction that in my efforts to bring tln^ work
to a successful issue, sym[»athy and encouragement have heeu
so freely extended by great numbers who have liidden uie
''God S[)eed" in the undertaking. I wish especialiv to mcntinu
I here the names of a few among the many who have aided me at
times when it seemed as if I must abandon the whole thing : —
Gen. Frederick Ellsworth Mather of New York. Joseph W.
Mather of New York, Messrs. Chas. M. and Geo. M. Mather
(i)rothers) of Nevr York, A. D. Mather of Albany, and th(.' lat' =
Ffon. E. W. Leavenworth of .""^yrarusc, whose luother was a
ilather, bcsidi's many others, have liecn helpers in this enter-
prise. To the Mathers, as w<.'ll as to those of other names who
8 INTRODL'CTOEY.
hare so kiii'Uy assisted, I wish ti> expLcss my <lei'p sense of obli-
gation.
The task nf uvttinir tlie matui-ials foi' a work of this kind is
necessarily aidnons, and re([uires patient and painstakiiiji' search
in a great niuulM-r ot" lM:)oks, cliurch and town records, cemeteries,
etc., etc. I will not weary my reaiicr liy recnuntiiig my experi-
ences, in this countiw and also in England and Scotland, in ettorts
to uniTtvel some of the mystcrii's. I will say, however, that 1
ha\c written ni')re rhan 3,000 leiTers, ai.1 Itearing on this sul>iect,
about one-tenth of which have been to England, Scotland, and
other parts of the British Dominions.
The wills of Lancashire and Clieshire. p]nglan<l, are all pro-
l)ated in Chester. I have had th.' names <>f all the Mathei's
whose wills were pntbated before the time of Kiclnird ^father, or
about l)is time, sent to me in the hope thnt thcv wonld give some
clew to otlier members of his fatlier's and grandfather's family.
I had fonr of these ancient wills copidl and sent to me, but nn
assistance was ro be obtained from them. A large book ot
records of the Pari>li of Leigh, a p.irish adjoining Winw ick. liy
Rev. J. H. Stannin'^-, ^L A., containing a record ^'f all the chri>-
tonings, nmrrinu'es. ;ind di'aths from the year li)')H to lb:25, was
sent to me. Li these records the name is often spelled Mathar
instead of ^[ather. At an earlier periotl >[r. Stanning tbitdcs it
was spelletl ipiite differently from either of the above.
1 visited families of imr name in l^HT in Knglan<l and Scot-
land, where the name is to be met with ([uitc fre'inrniix. They
all treated me very cordially, and expressed ureat interest in
those who liore the name in the L'nited States. I met at " Ohl
Hall Jlnnor," at West Perliy, Ellis Matlier, who vras a descend-
ant of Ellis Mather, one of the first settlers of Toxt-'th Park be-
fore Rev, Richard i[athers time. Some members of this faniilv
have bec-ii ccnnected witli this nM chiu'ch at Toxletli down to
1830. I itlso eall(.-d npon Edward 31. — 's fanuly in Ldinlmrgh,

All by the name of ^latlier in the Cnited States, descendants of Rev.
Richard 3[afher the emigrant, that are now living are deseemhd from his
son Timothy and Katherine Atherton Mather in tiie line of their three sou.-,,
Rev. Sanmel who settled in Windsor, Conn., Richtird who settled in Lyme,
C(inn.. and Atherton who settled in 8uffie;d, Conn. All of the later genera-
tions will be found in that order in the book.
There are very many descendants of llicbard M. from the other sons,
but all that are living are of other surnames.
The name of each ancestor, in its order, is placed at tjie head of the
family record.
Tn the index following the family rt'cords are: lirst, the year of liiith ;
second, name ; third, genealogic d uuniber ; fourth, page.
There will be found a few omissions wliicli are noted at eml of the book.
I very much regret the nece.s.sity of liaving to note mistakes that have crept
into the work. I liave tried to be very careful in compiling the materials, and
am surprised that some iA the mistakes escaped my earlier notice.

There were John and Geori^e blather, of Indianapolis ; also Jobu. James,
and ■SViliiam E., of Chicago, III., who were from Scotland. David Mather, a
prominent bii>ine.ss man of La Grange. Ind., was the grandson of Alex. M.,
■who came from near Ediubursrfa, Scotland, to Province of Xew Brum-witk.
in 1819.
Andrew Mather, who wa- Ijorn in 1690. in Jedburgh, ScotLind, -vrjio
married Isixbella Davidson, had several children: Tiioma^. who wa^ t-orn in
1731, at "\\'eM..-n. Xnrthumberland Co., Eng.. and married Jeaitrue Davidson :

Mather, .a sraudson of George, at the L. S. Nayy Yard. :»Iare Island, Califor-
nia, is of this branch, which came over iu 1798.
There was a James :\lather. who came to New Orleans, iit 1775. from
Northumberland Co.. Eng., many of who.se descendants are settled uo>.v in
New Orleans, and in the Gulf States, and have been families of prominence
there. I had an interesting correspondence witli different member.s of the
families, some years since.
Joseph Mather came from Bolton. Eng., as early iis 1082, and settled ii>
Pennsvlviiuia. 1 have had a great deal of data sent to me by Charles Matlier.
52 THE MATHER FAMILY.
Esq., of JenkiDtinvu, Pa., and Cliarles E. Mather, tirni of Mathrr it Co.,
instirance ajrents, in Pliiladt-lphia. These gentleman are outerprisinii mt-n,
and belong to a large branch of the blather family, who are well known
throughout the State of Ponnsrlvania, as well as other portions of our
country. I am'r.nder personal obligation to C. E. 'M., for favors received ou
:i \isit to Pliiladelphia. and at his home in Bryn IVIawr. where his family
extended to me Iheir hospitality.
Alexandei- blather came from Scotland to America, about the middle of
the last century, and settled on Long Island, where are now many descendants.
"William Henry blather, Esq.. of Hobokeu. belongs to this line ; also John R.
3Iather. the ship biiihler, at Port Jefferson, L. I. I have been entertained
very cordially by the family of Wilhum H. blather of Hohoken.
Charles E. JIather, of the firm of blather Brothers, Springd:de, Iowa,
and William ^Mather of Rupert, also ^ViUi-nn ^Mnrher of Rohrsburgh, Pa.,
are of Welsh origin. They :ire of the <i'me family as Henry, Jesse, Samuel,
and Jolm Mather, of Philadelphia. The emigrant of this family came over
before the Revolutionary War.
The Mather name is very numerous in some parts of England and Scot-
land to clay. In July, 1887, I found in the Liverpool. 3Ianchester, and Bolton
directories, about one hundred ^Lathers. In Lo.idou, and Xewcastle-upon-
Tyne, in Northumberland, in Edinburgh, and in Gla.sgo'w. I also found very
many of the name. At an earlier time they hilve been numerous in several
sections of England and Scotland.
Samuel Mather, the son of Rev. Dr. Samuel Mather, of Boston, in a
letter written to his father from London, Eng., September 23, 1783, says : "' I
dined a few days ago in the city with a namesake, who is an eminent
merchant, but not in any way related to our family. He was born in North-
umberland, and acqiu^ints me that our name is very common in that country,
and that in one very large town there are not above eight or ten persons of
any other name. I am in hopes, if I should be obliged to go into the
mercantile way, that this gentleman may be of great service to me ; but how
Providence will dispose of me it is impossible at this time to say.''
I have the following record :
From the register of St. Peters, Cornhill, London : " Roland Mather mar-
ried April 1-4, 1B35, Elizabeth Gibson, ].er license, Lonilon."' Mr. R. blather
was of St. xVlbans, Woodstreet, Loudon. This marriage occurred but rwo
days before our Rev. Kichard Mather started from Warrmgton, en route for
America. Itolaud Mather is an uncommon mime hi America, but tliere is one
of that name in Hartford, sevi;nth gent ration frotu Rev. Rirhanl Ma.ther.
In July 14, lti7i). there was a David Mather, in Brignier, ScoHand, an
elder in the church, wlio was banished and imprisoned for iiis religious
opinions.

In the p:iri>h neonls of Sr. Mary's Church in Leigh (whieh is rmiy about
two miles from Lowt<in). prepared by Rev. J. IT. Stanniug of ti'.at church,
(<f near (500 pages, we tiud the names of all persons christened, married, and
buried, from the year looS to 1025, in that parish. In th'>se records are the
namo-s of 131 ^latliers chrisiened, 43 married, and 78 burials. We find ten
John Mathers christened, four married, si.x burials; we tirul four Tiiomas
Mathers cliri^teued, three burials; we rind eight Richard Mathers christeaed,
tiiree U)rirried, fiiur Viurials. As these last are in the order of the ancestral
lim of Itn-. Richard ilather. it will be very difficult to run the iiro e-'rlier
witii the lack of data at hand. In the year 1(510 there was a John Aiathsr,
warden of St. IMary's. probably not the grandfather of Richard 3Iather, as he
doubtless attended church in Winwick parish. I am uot/ so fortunate as to
owu a iv bur the Leigh records. I cannot tell much about early data of liic
Wiuwick parish.
The first church at Dorchester, Mass., where Rev. Richard Mather was
pastor, stood on the corner of Pleasant and Cottage Streets; after hi,-, death the
church edifice was built at some little distance from there, on fleeting
House Hill, in 1676. The next church building was raised, on the -iilih and 30th
of June, 1743, at which time Ephraim Wales, son of Zorijah and Sarah \\ ales,
a young man 19 or 20. fell from the cross beams and was killed. I think
there has been erected another structure between that ;iud the present one,
which stands at the same place. Rev. Mr. Elliot is the present pastor. The
ilather school, named from Rev. Richard Mather, stands on 31eeting House
Hill, beside the church. The principal is Mr. Soutliworth, who has the assist-
ance of a line corps of teachers. This school ranks among the highest in Bos-
ton. Dorchester is now a part of Boston.
Uphiim's Corner, ancient burial ground, is an interesting spot; a monu-
ment is erected there beside the remains of the emigrant, Rev. Richard
Mtither, and near by another monimient is to Maj.-tn u. Humphrey Atherton,
■who died in 1661, and who, on the maternal side, is the ancestor nf all of the
Xew England Mathers that settled in Connecticut. There arc many places of
interest f,ir a Mather to see in Boston, among them Copps Iliil, the place
vi here .^o many of the Mathers were buried for nu)re than a century. The
" Ti>mb of the blathers"' is a spot visited by many from other lands who come
to X'-w England. Miss Parker was the last btiried here, only a few years
siaco. The Crockers and Parkers were descendants of Cotton M.ather, and
many of them are placed in this vault. The great fame of Increase, Cotton,
and Sam.uel Matlitr, who were all buried here, has made the tomb quite
noted. The liead of Xorth Square is where four of the Mathers jiroaciied.
Thai; locality is uow used for stores and dwellings. The ^lassachusetts His-
'H THK MATHKR FAillLV.
torical Socitty have a tiue oM puiuting of Rev. Dr. IucrL;i.s(.' .Mather, puiiited in
IQijS. I have a copy of it. Yi>u can uIm' .<ee tlien- the famous work in manu-
script, ■' Bihlia Arae'ricana." which tooli Cotton 3[aTher over thirty years to
complete. It i.> in rliree s-'eptirate paits, and is iuiine condition. The "■ Prince
Collection" in Bo.stnu Public Library contain a very large .number of the
pubiished vvurks of the blathers, I think ratliet aiiae th;in the Massachusetts
Historic.il .Society or Xe^v £ni:lai\d Jlistorical and Genealogical Society. I am.
however, unable to tell which have the large-st number. Ktv Dr. Incrpasc
Mather lived., at one time on Xorth Strwt, near Clark, a hou.se which after,
ward became a ^e;iuien"s bourding-house. He iived at another time near
the head of State Street, in the hou--<e that haii belon.ired to his father-in-law,
Rev. John Cotton, near where Joy's Buiklingrj are now located.
lii::v. Dr. Corton Mather iised in Ha.'iover Street, in a house built by Cr.pt.
Tnrell. nearly opposite Cockrell Ciuir.h. afrerwards ooctipied by Alasttr Hitr-
ris of Nojth Grammar School. His later residence was 2SS-30O Hanover
Street.
Rev. Dr. Sarnuel Mather ii^ed on the east side of Moon ^'treec, iibout mid-
w.iy from Sun Court to Fleet Street, on the corner of what wa.s formerly
knov%-n as ]Hoon Court.
The Antiquarian Hall at Worcester cimtaius a rare collet't.ion of paintings
of the Mathers, one of Richard, one of Increase (his .son'), one of Cotton (son of
Increase), one of Samuel (son oi Increase), and one of Samuel (son of Cotton).
Here we liud a irreat number also of AInther pui>lications; also the manu-
scripts of the Mathers. And last, though not least in interest, is the willow
chair which Rev. Richard Mather sat in when a child, and his descendants for
many generations in rlie line of iiis .son Increa.se.

New England Ilistorir Society, the following sintcment, in Mrs. Crocker's

-called Lowt.m. in the year 1506. The family can he traced to John, Thuma;5
being his son. :md Richard Mas the son of Thomas. (Richard, when a little
chiM, sat in the lirtli chair that is in the antirjnarian rooms at Worcester,
.N[ass.) lie was married in 1624: his children that were born in Euroy)e sat in
this chair before th.ey ••ame to tliis cdunfry. — Stunuel. Timothy. Nathaniel, and

and increase were b«]rn in Auirica. They boih >at in the same chair. The
ihair de'^cended to Increase, mid all hi^ children sat in the same cliair. It came
in line to Cotton Mather: his chililren ail ■^at in the same. It descended to his
-^oii Samuel, and his ehiklreu s.)t in the same ch;ur. His youngest daughter
vvas the only one c^f his ihiidren that had a family, and she lu\s had ten child-
ren and several irrandchildreu who .sat in this chair. As the regtilar line of
Mathers has run out. she wished the ch.dr to be deposited in the antiquarian
rotiins with tlic venerable shades, that those who come after her may look to
tile ruck from whence they were hewn, and lind an auciimt .seat to rest any
chip of the old bliK-k iu. As she tiatter^ herself , there ma,y in some future day

their rest after she is at rest iu another world."
If Mr... Crocker were alive to-dav she might, possiiily tiud that ' the reg-

John Mather, wlio was born in Lowton in 1^11, and settled in La Cros-.e, Wis.,
U. S. A., speaks of verc many .Mathers who are burie-d in thi- W'inwick

the sons of a Richard .Mather. Hon. John .Mather gave the ntinie-, of several
branches of the Mathers in Lnwton. which his father tuld him were rehued.
The famous W'inwiek r>ro:id (»ak, an eiiLrniving of which I liave in the

Mather was its fourth master (succei-dini:- Willi.uu Horrockei. It was about,

Joshua Gee were settled over the church. In Enghiiui the Rev. Mr.
Matiier became quite noted : he wa.s apfxjinted, on his arrival in Lou-
don. chaplain t3 the Lord Mayor of London, where he made the ac-
quaintance of eminent uuuisters in tliat country, w^^uch wa.> the de-
mand 'for him rliat he wa.« overtaxed in work, and came near lr>,-;ing hi.*
lite. He reste^i awhile from his lalioi-s. aTid was again restored. He
tlien prfadied at (Trave.>---end. and then in the city of ExoteJ- in the
Cathedral. Atone time was chaplain of Magda^^^n (\oliege. Oxford,
near hy the college. Brazen-Nose, in the same city, where his father
stU'iieil hefore settlii'.i; iri Toxtetii Park. Liverpool. He made a t^ji.ir
in S'-otlaml with English commi.'^sioners, where for two years he
preached. In the year Hi.)-} he went with Dr. Harri.<or.. Dr. Winter,
and Mr. C'harnock. and the lord deputy, Henry ( 'romwell, into Ire-
lan<.l. He wao appomted senitir fellow of Trinity College, Dui>lin, and
joint pastor, with Dr. Winter, of the (,'hurch of St. Nicliolas. An
opportunity was now pre.sented for the exerci.se of charity, and for the
display of that true L'hristian liberality for which he was ever dis-
tinguished ; for when his patron, the lonl deputy, gave him a com-
mission for the displacing of several Episcopal ministers, he refuseti to
do it. saying. •• I came into tliis country to preach the gospel, not to
hinder others from p>reaching."
On the restoration of Charles XL he was suspended for a charge of
sedition. It was a malicious one, founded on two discourses in oppo-
sition to Episcopal rights. and ceremonies. When Mr. M. was informed
of his susp«"'nsion on such a groundless charge as it was based upon, he
said. '' If it be sedition to disturb the devihs kingdom, who rules by
his anti-chri.stian ceremonies in the kingdom of darkness, as the Lord
Jesus does by his own oi"dinances in his church, i may say that I did
it before the Lord, who hath chosen me to be his minister ; and if
this l)e vile. I will yet lie more vile." He then went to Burton W'ooii.
Lancashire. Englan'l. where he preached for about two years, until,
with two tluji-isand of his laitlifrd 1irethrt-n. he was ejected,- by
the terribh- act of uniformity. HhVJ. Aug. 24rh. called black Bartholo-
mew day. His cliurch in Dublin .sent unto him to reMirn to them,
saying. ■■The men are dead that sought thy life." Accordingly, he

50 THE MATHER FAMILY.
Mr. Mather wrote a very great nuiuher ot letters tu his brut her.
Rev. Dr. Increa.se Mather of I'ostoii, which are piil')lislied in the Mas-
sadiusett.s HLstorieal Collection.*. In the<e Iftters.he, often alhule.s to
his 'wife, but never to any children, ami it is prunably the fact he
never had any. We find an early record of Natlianiel. wiiich'inay be
of interest tu cite yonns; Mathers of to-day. and possibly they may de-
sire a similar experience.
Rev. Richard Mather (liis father) had in hi< conu'regatiun in Liver-
pool Quarterniastor Smith's family, who decided to coiae to America
witli their pastor, who started from Warrington nt-ar Luwtuu fur P>ris-
tol to take th.e ship "James" fur tlii^ country on Mav ■J.'., |i;.'!.'j. On
the way to tlie ship. Xutiianiel. thtMi live years of age. and Mary ."^mitli,
tlio same age. the daughter of the above Smith, were put in panni»>rs,
ami )'ode on horse)>ack to Bristol. We are not told what was the
conversatiim that pas.sed between ilieni on their journey, proliably it
was not the same as it would have been had they grown to maturer
age, as the .sequel shows. Mary in later years became the .secuud wife
of Gov. Hinckly of Massachusetts, and Nathaniel, the husband of
Maria, the daughter of Rev. Dr. Wm. Benn oi Englaiul.
.The attachment of Re\. Nathaniel Mather to his youugvst brother,
Rev. Dr. Increase Mather of Boston, is shown to have been very great
in the numerous letters he wrote to him. ami of the teiider and loving
spirit they aii bure.
Increase was verv an.xiuus to })ro<-uri' a p<.irtrait nf his brutlier
Nathaniel The latter, in a letter dated March '1. Iti.SO-l. says he can
find onlv one artist that can do it -for him. and he charges U'n pounds
fur it. and says he can hardly ali'urd to pay so much; but if he can
find one more reasonable will have one taken to gratify him.

Nathaniel Mather graduated at Harvard College in the year 1647
at the age of 17.
He went to England, where his bruther Samuel had gone l^efore
him. and in 1 •>."><> wa.s pre.«enteii by the Frutt-ctor. Cromwell, to a living
in Barustalile. where he continued until the itartholomew act in lii(5"2,
when lu- svas ejected. He then went to Rotterdam iu IluUand. where

It d(>es not appear that I'ev. Kleazar Mather puMislied anytliin";
while he lived. After his death, there was published, ti'ijin his manu-
scripts, a woi'i< on the duties of Thristian parei.ts tfi their children, it
beinir the substatice of some of his last sermons.
The Rfv. Dr. V\'m. B. Sprague of Albany, says this of him. among
other tilings :
"Mr. ^latlif r's father liuvin>r died l)ut a few wet-ks hi'fere liim. havinu'

suggestions. The sul)staace of these sermons .was ])uhlishe<l in IbTl. under
the title of ' .'^erious e\liortations to the present ami succeeding generations in

gracious i)resence may he coutiitued wiih p.isterity; being the substance of the
four last sennons [>reaehed at Northampton, by tlie Rev. Eleazar Mather.'"
Cotton Mather, who was a neptiew of Eleazar, and who was a
mere child v.-hen his uncle died, has left the foUov^dng account of him:
" Here" (Xorthampton). ■"he labuured for eleven years in the vineyard
nf our T>(ml. and then tlie twelve hours of his day's lal)our did exi)ire, not
without the deepest lamentations of all the c'hurehcs as well as his own : then
sitting along the rivi-r of Connecticut, as he was a very zealous preacher, and
aceordingly saw many .seals of his ministry, .so lie was a very pious walker:
and as he drew towards the end of Ids days, he grew so remarkably rip" for
Heaven, in a holy, watchful, fruitful di^posirion. that many observing jtersons
(lid prognosticate his lieing not far from liis end. He kept a diary of his ex-
periences wherein the last words that I'ver he wrote were these : 'This even-

Rev. "Warhain Mather, was a graduate of Harvard CoUeo-o in 178.5,
preached some in Massachusetts, and was called to settle in tin; nunistry
at Westchester. X. Y.. in the year 1h;i.5, where he remained until 1701.
During his stay tiiere lie benight several tracts of land of John Yeats,
of Xevv York city. May 29. I(i97, and in 1703 sold it. He removed to
New riaven. Conn., where his name often appears as Judge of Probate

the daughter of John Davenport, and granddaughter of the Rev. John

The followiu;^ rccurd is to ))e seen on a tablet in the old church on
New Hav^m Green :
'• Warhan\ :>L'Uher [died] Aug. 12. 1745 [aged] 80
Elizabeth Mather [died] July t2;i, 1744 [aged] 77."
The other son, Eliakim. must liave died when a young man. His
name appears in the Massacliusetts Historical Collection, in the
"Sewall Papers." as being in the family of his uncle. Dr. lucrea.se. and
cousin. Dr. Cotton Mather, — his father having died in 16Gil. wlieii he
was a babe. E.sther Warliam Mather became afterward the wife of
the Rev. Solomon Stoddard C)f Northampton. He was the successor
of Rev. E. M.. in tlie 1st church.

called Peter's Port. From (^uernsey he went to England and was
offered some hundred pounds a year if he woidd conform. He rejected
the proposal, and thinking tiie (dumces for usefulness in that country
not so great as in America he set sail from Weymouth in June. Kiijl,
arrived at Boston al)Out the 1st of Septend)er. He came to Dorches-
ter on Hatiu'day evening'. Ljuite iiiie\pecte<lly. giving great j(\v to his
father. He had the; pleasure of meetin.i^ his brother EU-azer, wlio had
just, come from Noi-tliampr(jn. and was at the paternal mansion. --The
comforted ohl patriarch,'' says Cotton Mather, -had the privilej^e of
liaving his two sijUs in his own indpit, on the followiiii;- <lay. while lie
sat shining betweeu them, like the .'-^uu in Gemini."
64 THE MATHER FAMILY,
Tlie first winter preached alternately in liis father's pulpit, and in
the new church in the nurtli part of Boston.
The next year he was married to Maria, the only daughter of the
distinguished John Cotton of Boston. He lived with her for fifty
years, lui'l three sons and seven daufrhters.
Mr. Mather was installed over the North Church, Mav L'T. u;64,
his father jjiving him the charge ; he remained the pastor of this
church until his death in IT'io ; his son Cotton vras colleagtte for (li3S4-
172;>) Thirty-nine years with him. In his early life he adopted this
method for the difierent <lays of the week :
"Lord's day. Besides my public labors, attend to the catechising and
personal instruction of my family.
'■ ^inudiiy. Forenoon, read covenants; study sermon. ^\iternoon, read
authors; study .sermons.
'"Tuesi^Iay. Forenoon, read comments; stuily si'rmon. Afternoon, en-
deavour to instruct personally more or less ; rca'd aulliors.
"Wednesday. Forenoon, read coiuiucuts ; stmly sermr'us. Aftera(.(in,
read authors -. jiursue the sennnn.
"Thursday. Forenoon, read comments; studv sermou. Afier lecliu'e,
endeavour to promote amoui;' the ministers what slmllbe of public advantage.
. " Frii'.ay. Forenoon, read eomments ; study .sermon. AftiM-uoon, read
authors ; finisli sermons.
" Saturday. Read comments. Prepare for the Sabbath, by committins:
my sermons to men'.ory. Arc.
"I am not willing to allnw myself more than .sevea hour.'- in tweuty-foiir
for sleep, and would spend the rest of my time in attending to the duties of
my personal and general (;alliug."'
This course of stu'ly he <'ontinued througli more than half a cen-
tury, and the J^criptun-s Ijecause like household .words. Ho was not
willing to bring betore his people that which i-ost hiui nothing, but to
have beaten oil brought to the sanctuary. It was said uf him •• that he
wao in ad\ ance of the ministers of his own age, and perha[)s of anv
other age in New England, in the manner of his .ielivery. He was
not only a souml and learned divine, but a giacefid and powerful
speaker. He ma(ie it an object ami labo>ir through life to be so, and
he wa.s so." He was wise in thinkinir of the manner and matter of his
sermons, and in studying to make iui-'i>elf an acceptable au'i accom-
plished pi-eaclier as well as one to instruct, au'l well wordii it have been

After the death of Presiiient ( )akes of Ha7-vard T'olleirt'. which oc"
curred July 2.3. 1G8I. Mr. Mathor was invited to take charge of the
college. He presided al the next commencement, and ciinfei-red the

want to part with him. iiiU maile weekly visits to Cambridge, wirli a

Fresidetitial chair should be iilled. The tV>llowing year was relieved <<i
its care by the appointment of President Rogers, ilr. R. died in
1<)S4, and Mr. Mather was again chosen and accepted on condition
that he could preach every .'^aiibath in Ro-ston but wuuld remain in
Cambridiie (luring tlie week. My his aliiliry and industry he was aliie
to fill botii places. He held the office until ITilL when he r-esi«;ned.
In the vear ll)9"J. the Corporation and ()ver.<eers of the College ovi'r
which he presided presented him witli a diploma of Doctor of Divinity.
This was tln^ first instance in which such a de.i^ree was conferred in
British America. The next one was to Rev. Nath'l Appletou of Cam-
bridge. 7!» years later. ^Ir. Mafher was the first native >>orn presi-
dent of Harvard College.
In 1G8S, Mr. Mather was sent bv tlie Colonies to Uivat Britain to
intercede in their behalf and to get a new c'larti'r. and was successful :
he returned in lr.92 ; had several interviews with the king. }.[r. M.
had all the appi.>intments to make under the new charter. Mr. Mather's
intellect did not decline materially until past his fourscore years. On
the day that he arrived to fourscore years. lie preached from the text.

two days after he had a shght apoplectic artV'ction, from which he was
soon relieved, thouKh it left him in a very feelile condition. The idea fi
his being laid aside from his pulpit labors was greater tn him than
his bodily suffering. At length death came to his release, and he
breathed out his life in the anus of his son Cotton, on the 23d day "t

In- the Indians with her husliaud and otiiers in Feh. 'I'.K I7n:!_4. at
Deertit'M. Mass. Their house wa.'^ hmken into pnd two youn,!^ children
and a domestic were inhumanly mur(U>re<l. Mrs. W'illiam.s. wlio had
just recovered from a hed of confinement, and five cliildren were taken
prisoners. Mr. Williams and the rest ni the prisoners were made to
wade over a small river in winch the water was (iver knee ileeji, and
very swift. .\,fter that he had to travel up a small mountain, and his
strength was nearly exiiansted l>efore he came to the top of it. He
was permitted to sit down, and to have his pack taken from his back.
AVliile he sat there pifyini; those who were behind, h.e entr-^ated his
master to let him go and help his wife. He inhumanly refused him,
and would not let him move a foot from him. He inquired of the
prisoners, as they passed, concerning her. and they informed him that in
pas.'^ing the river she was overpowered by the stream and ]ilunged
}iea.diong into the water, ^lie was not ahle to travel far after tiiis. At
the loot of the mountain which. Mr. Williams had just ascenueii. tiie in-
hn-man and liloodthirst}' Indian, who had the care of lu.-r. slew lier
with his tomahawk at a l)low. This was trttly heart rem liny- xo him,
and yet the savages reproached hijn for a want of manhood n\ shed-
iling teal's on account of her cruel murder. Her body was found by
men from Deerfield. and tak'^n for burial. ()n her tonih.none is the
following inscription :
" Here lyetli the bi>dy of Mrs. Eunice Williams the virtuous and desirable

Maria Cotton la woman of lovely cUaraeter). t!ie rlautrhter of the
famous John Cutton. wlio came to Bo.stuu. Xfw En^y-land. from l^oston.
Enijltiutl (out 01 respect to John I'uttou the name of Boston, X'. E..
wa.s given). Very nmcli was expected oi huu. and the people were
not disappointed in his after life. He was early placed in the free
school in Boston. From his early life he exhibited a remarkable pas-
sion for hooks and learnin.a'. His first teacher was Benj. Thomjison.
the secoml. the famous Ezekiei Ciieever. Before he entered collt-.ire
he had read Homer. Sc^crate.-^. and many Latin authors, som*^ c-f which
are but little underst<.)od except by those eminent in the classics. H''
entered Harvard College at the age of twelve, graduated l<i7S. raking a
liigli i-ahk. He commenced preaching when eighteen years old.
In early manhood he was devising ways to l;ecome very useful to
his fellow men. He made it a rtile neve-r to go into company where it
was proper for him to sp<;ak without trying to make himself useful.
When ([uite young he coinmenced l)v triving one-tenth of all ins sub.
.stance for charity, and more than that, foi- some of the remainder of
his life it is said •• de\-ised a plan of voluntary association very sinular
to that which is now in such active operation throughout tlie world.
His metliod was to liave associations formed in every neighborhood,
whieli sh(juld kt-ep an eye upon all growing evils, and use the most
elfectual means to suppress them. He wouW have these societies en-
gage in sending the B:ble and rhe gospel to other iiation.s, and in labors
for the benefit of tradesmen, soldiers, and seamen." He deplored the'
prevailing vice of intemperance, wrote and published nuu'h against it.
and widely circulate'! some of hi.-^ publications. Was also very much
interested for the colored people (oi which there were many in Bosttui).
As they had not the advantages for instruction that others had he
FIFTH GENERATION. 81
established a school in vrhirh they Vircru tauji-ht to reau. •• And he
himself bore the whole expense ol' it. paying the instructress for her
s<*vice3 at the close of every week." He pul»lished an essav on
the importance of christianizing tlie people of c^)lor, designing •' to
loilge a copy in every lu'.uily in Xew Engl-mii tliat has a negro in it,
audal.-o to send numbers ox them to the West imlies."' On evorv dav
of the w.eek Mr. Mather had a systematic niethod for work, and carried
it out in regular succession day after day and vt-ar after yeai'. Mr.
Mather was uji wearied in hi? labi.irs for the good of his churcii. Ami
it is ^uid that in his visits tie disrri'oufed great uumtjers of LJibles and
other religious books, and tliat lie gave asvay more tiian a thousand in
a year, anil at a time when books cost much more than now. As a
result of his mmisteriai labors, says his biographer, --the first year of
his ministry no less than thirty declared before the chun-h that lie was
the cause, under Go'l. of their a^vakening and conversion: and man v.
many (God knows how many) have since been by his addres.ses to
them, either by tongue or pen. brought home to Ood.'" During tliirtv-
nine years, when the exact record is kept complete of Increase ami Cot-
ton .Mather, there were three thousand, three Jiuudred and eighty-four
baptisms in their church: the number of admissions to the churcli
during their pastorate was eleven hundred and four.
"Cotton blather." .says. Dr. Chauucy, " I give the palm to in rt-ffanl to
Hrcruture. or an acquaintaiu'C with bi>oks of all kinds. No native in tliis
country bad read so niu.-li. 'U- retained more ni wliat he read. He was the
greatest redeeuier of time 1 ever knew, and lost as little of it as any one could
do, in his situation, Tiiere were scarcely any books written but he liad, some-
how or other, got the sight of thein. His own library was the largest, by far,
of any private one on tlie eontinent. He was always readini: or writimr. and
he had the happie,st talent of going rapidly through .a book. He knew more
of the lii.story of this country tJian any m,in in it; and could he have conveyed
his kuowledire with proportif)n.il)lc judirmeiit, he would liave given the best
liistory of it, ' That is the opinion of Dr. (.'h,iuncy. " In point of learning in
the stricter application of the term us denoting a general acquauuance with
books Cotton M.ither was the most Ic.irneil man that New England ever bred."
Dr. Mather says, in his own private writings:
"I am able with little study To write in seven lamruages, I fe.-ist m\-,self

aboiit treating insolriit men with humility, and an,:;ry men with ni(-ekiiess; I
have thought Prov. '2(>. 4. was a full answer for them."
Rev. Dr. (.'Lamller Koblnus writes thus of Cotton Mather:
"The minisiry of Cotton .Mather ran ijarallel with that of his father, from
the time of his sitiliMuent as colleague. Ma}' Vi, \Hxr>. till the death of the
l.itler, Aug. 2o. 172S, .i period of tlnrty-nini' years. He survived his father till
February 1?.. IT'JS. only fotir years and a half, having Ixen pastor of this
ehurch forty-four years. Duriag this [x.-riod, the societv enjoyed uniiUer-
rupted prosperity, rhi' congregation was vm-y numerous, and multitudes were
adrled to the church. If an eminently successful ministry, a crowded audience,
the strong and unabated attachment of a large congregation, the steady en-'
largement of u church, benevolent activity, and a general and constant im-
provcmeiit of the ordin.inccs on the part of a people, are any proofs of [liety.
ability, and faithfulness in a religious teacher, or give him any ( laiin to re-
spect, the name i>f .M.ither richly deserves to be mentioned with reverence in
the church, with whose best days it is associated, and whose history it has
made illustrious."
Rev. Joshua < n-e. who l)ecauie colleagtie with hiui after tlie death
of his father, writes:
'■ He was bright anioni;- the excellent of the earth. The whole land has

In speakin-j of some of the qualities of tlie famous Cotton Mather
it will t'C well to in.sert he-re some facts ;i!id f/pinions regardinir (,'otcou
Mather's conneoti'm in the witchcraft dektsion. ami I will cpiote fixmi
the pen of that esteemed New England divine, If^v. Dr. Enoch Pond :
•• In the tirst place. I remark that Cotton .Mather was a sincere believer in
the reality and not infrequent oc<Mirrencf; of what in his day was denominated
witchcraft. He also believed tliat tlic crime of witchcraft, when proved, was
ju.stly punishable with death. Nor was his faith in reg-ard to these points at
all sinu'ular. It was the common faith of Christendom, and luid been so for
hundreds of years. Persons who lia\c not attended particularly to the sub-
ject can have no ide.t of the e.xient to which the supposed crime of witchcraft
has prevailed in different countries, and tlie multitmles of deaths which it has
occa.sioned. In the latter part of the sixteenth century not only hundreds but
thf>usands were put to death. — many of them by the extremest tortures. — in
Germany. France, and Spain, under the imputation of witchcraft. In ltil2
fifteen persons were indicted and twehe executed in Lancashire, £u:rland: and
in 163-1: sevenreen more were executed in the same country. The Rev. Thomas
Cooper, one of the miuisters of this country, in his ' Mystery of Witchcraft,'
published in l»ilT. says: • Dotii not every assize, almost, throu.sirhout the land
re»ovmii of the arraiznnniU and conviction of niHorious witches ?' Between
the years lr;44 and ItUfi the celebrated witcli-lmnter. Matthew Hoi>kins. was
encoiirasred and employed to visit dilTereiU parts of Enuiaud, fern-t out those
who dealt with familiar spirii>. and brimr them to justice. Throuirh his
instrumentality sixteen were executed at Yarmoutli. fifteen at Chelmsford,
one at Cambritlire. several in Huntiuudiai. an<l sixtv in the single civunly of

bcfor:' Cotton Mather was Ijoni). Sir William lilaekstone, the ,ii-reat oiaclc of
IJriti-li law. who (lieil no longer ago than le^O, declarcl his helief in uitch-
eraff in the following- terms: • To deny the possibility, nay, tlie actual t\i,-,r-
enee of -.Nitchcraft aiitl sorcery, is at ont-e flally to eiailradict the revealed
Word of (Jo.l. iu various pa<.>ages, both of tlw Old and New Testaments ; an<l

borne le-rimonv. either by e.xamviles .seemingly well-attested, or bv jirohibitory
laws \\hich ;it least suppose the possibility of ciinnierce with evil spirits.'"'
In Xew En,s;liunl. at tlie time ot Cotton Mather, t.iie Leliof in witcli-
criift may he said t;o have been universal. Tlie most; experienced pliy-
siciaiis who were called to prescribe for the afflicted persons, and the
most eminent ministers who were invited to })ray with them, did not
hesitate to pronounce rhem hewifched. Even tho.se persons who had
the least s\-mi)athv with tlie Mathers on some snl>jecfs. a.s Thomas and
William P)rattle. John Leverett,-and Rol)ert t 'alef. all agrees 1 with them
as to tlie reality of witchcraft.
in the vear 1*'<'.H. two vears suliseqnent to the executions at Salem,
a pajier was issued In- the President and Fellows of Harvard t.'ollege,
and siu:ned, amon^ others, by Samuel Willard. John Leverett, and
William Brattle, invhin.a; observation and information concerning
"apparitions, possessioii.s, enchantments, and all extracn-dinary things
wherein tlie existence and agency of the invisible W(;rld is more sensi-
blv demonstrated." X"r was the beliet in v/itchcraft in this country
confined to Xew Euirland.
In tlie early settlement of Pennsylvania William Penu presided on
the bench wlien two Swedish women were tried for witchcraft, l>oth
of whom would have been condemned and execute<l but for some
technical orror in tiie indictment.
The French aii'l Dutch ministers of Xew York, when tiieir .'/pinion
was asked by the I'hiet Justice of that province rcpliedi in writing:
"If we believe in no venefic witchcraft, we must renounce the Scrip-
ture of (roll and the con.sent of almo.st all tlie world.

French or Ihitcii (and 1 know many), are of the same opinion with me."
If there was any difference between Mr. Mather and his contempo-
raries <.n the point before us it ^vas i)erhaps this: that owing to his
natural creiUilitv and love of the marvelous, he was more sincere and
earnest in iiis beliei than some of them: a fact of considerable import-
ance in this inquiry, and whicli, if duly considered, will go. n.;t to
inculpate, but rather to e.\cuse him. '^ Dr. ?*[ather did not originate
this belief in New England: there were cases (jf it here before he was
born, and in lO'Vi. tlie year of his birth., th.^re were three executed in
Hartford." In Ki'.i'J. when C'ottcn Matlier was only thirtv years of aire,

continued long after that. Elizabeth, in l.".';'-'. first made witchcraft in

of his reign, detines the crime very minutc^ly.

This oti'er was refused, as we miu-ht supp^ise. for all men had not
the same faith as our pastor had in those remedies. But that he was
in earnest in his offer is evident, not only from the general tone of his
ojiinions and practice, but also from the fact that he liimself. during tlie
witchcraft trials, spent a day almost every week in secret fasting and
prayi>r. l->ut the matter wa.-^ in the courts, and through tiie courts it
must go. and hy the courts be decided. < 'nly before proceeding fur-
ther the Governor and Council, according to --an old charter practice,"
asked the advice of the clergy of Boston. A paper \vas drawn up by
them, the author of which was Cotton ^.lather, containing eight articles
of advice. It recommends --a very critic^d and e.xquibite cauMon " in
thecomluct of the prosecution, and managed with an •■ exceeding tender-

advised the prosecution •■accoi'ding to the directions given in the laws
of God and the wliolesome statutes of the English nation."

and a correspondent of a New York paper, some time ag-o, \entrired the
assertion that the bones of the ^fatbers were In aped proiniscuo-isly in one
iarsre box. To prove tliat this stiitemeut was an error, oec.ision w,i,-. taken by
Superintendent MacDonald on .Monday, Asiien tlie body of Rebecca E. Parker,
the l:ist owner of the toinlj, who died at the age of eiglity-si.\ years, was con-
signed to its last resting place, to ascertain the real contents of the vault.
The tomb is a sunken aich of lirii.'k 80 liy -h) feet, with an entnince of four
feet by tive, approached by :i series or steps. There are six shelves in tlie
^:!ldt, tiirce of them containing two cothns e:i(li. the other three liolding nine
coffins. There are twenty other collins, all evidently containing tlie ashes of
the Mathers. On the upi)er shelf is a cortin enclosed in -i pine box. containing
tlie body of a .Mrs. Hooker, not a lueniber of the fj-niily. It is supposed that
the Xew Ytjrk corres])ondent, at a previous oi)eniug of tlie tomb, mistook this
plain box for a nd.scellanfcons receptacle. The lirielc work of the vault is in
excellent order.
■■ The ^Irs. Hooker to whom reference was made in our article on the Mather
tomb, iii last Thursday's pa[)er, was the wife of Dr. A, Ho-.-ker of Cambridge-

THE MATHER TO.WB AT COPP'S HILL,
L\'t\ir ''Bosfo;;.
The ibllowincr extract is taken from the Historical Sketches of old
Copp's Hill and Lkirial Ground, pid^lished July 5th, 1S85 •
"The most noted tomb in the ground, and the one almosf invariably the
first inijuired for by people from other States and even from EurcJpe, 's that of
Reverend Cotton Mather. It is near the Charter Street gate, and i.s a simple
vault cf brick upon -which rests a heavy slab of brown stone into which two
>eparare squares of slate have been set — one of recent date, and the other bear-
ing m.irks of age — with the following mscription, which is almost illegible :

■j^%'^!^sr'^
'' In addition to these clergymen, the vault contains the remains of many ot
their descendants. It wa^ last opened about fifteen years ago, when one of the
Crocker family was deposited under its arch ; the relics of these ancient
worthies were found mingled in great confusion. There is an air of quiet de-
cay about the spot that is very suggestive of the transitory nature of all that is
mortal. .Above it large trees cast a semi-gloom which discourages the growth
of grass and shrubbery, and the tooth of time has gnawed deeply into both
brick and stone. It is surrounded by a neat iron fence, stone curbing has been
placed underneath, and the ground inr,ide the fence newlv sodded. By the
mutations of family descent the tomb is now owned by Miss Rebecca E. Parker,
who wishes to maintain it in as good condition as possible, and do nothing to
destroy the sacred character of the pro])erty. The famous Napoleon willow
(grown from a slip l)rought by Captain Joseiih Leonard from the tree at thj
grave of Napoleon at St. Helena, and transplanted here by Roland Ellis ot
Boston, in 1844), now shades another burial plat, and covers the mtmument and
tomb of the Ellis farailv at the Charter Street gate."

Since the death of Dr. Cotton Mather, two sermons ho hail prepared
for the press have been published. Tlieir titles are, •' Tlie AVidow of
Xain." "The Mystical Marriage." The.se two make the tinmber of his
books to be three hundre<l and oi.tyhty-three.
The above statement is given by his son, Piev. Dr. Samuel Mather.
Cotton Mather's most extensive work was never published — " Bi})lia
Americai.a " — which is in manuscript in tlie Massachusetts Historical
Society of Boston. These papers have been preserved with the great-
est care. and. though more than a century and a half old. present a
very fresh appearance. It took 'Mr. ilather over thirty of tlie last years
of his life to complete it. and had he felt able to have paid so much
money as it would require, it would have been published.
In 1713 Cotton Mather was elected a fellow of the Royal Society
of London. 1/eing the first American that had received this di.stinction.

Dr. ^father Byles graduated at Harvard College, 172.5; was highly
educated, and received a call from tlie Hollis Street Church to become
its first pastor: was ordained Dec. 20. 1733, &nd remained with them
until 1776. He died July 5, 17SS, at the age of S2.
It was said that during the Revolutionary Wcr he sympathized
with the British, and in 1776 his connection with his church ceased.
In person Dr. Bylcs was tail well proportioned, and of commanding
appearance. He had a melodious and powerful voice, was very popular
in his manut-r. Ke had' among his correspondeuts Laasdowne, Bope,
and Watts. He was the father of Mather Byies, gTa<luate of Harvard
College. 1751. and who was settled in New London, Conn., over a
Congregational Church in 1757; afterwards l>ecarae an EpiscopaUan,
and settled in St. Johns, X. B. Among their descendants were many
influential families, the Des Brisays-Almons. and others of note.

CHILDREN.
Had seven daughters, all but one m;irried; no sons.
The records of this family I have not been able to obtam. I vras at
Witney in July. "i8S7. and, by ihe assistance of Willian\ Seely, Esq..
an antiquarian, we eudea.vored to set what facts we could of tlie family
of Mr. M. ; also of the early church records. We found the records
vei-v meagre, and little light afforded as to Mr. Mather's labors there.
It stated ■' that Mr. Mather built tlie churcli about the year 1700, or a
little later; that at his death he was buried in St. Marvs Church-
yard." I visited the church-yard, but did not succeed in finding the
stone bearing his name, from the fact, I think, that the stones there are
not in condition to be read after a period of 100 years. The faces of
them crumble off. The Rector of St. Mary's Clmrch was to examine
for Mr. Seely the burial records to find out the date of his death, but
we have not learned the result.
Rev. Dr. Enoch Pond writes of him " that he was the third and
youngest son of Dr. Increase Mather. He was instructed in classical
learning by his elder brother. Xathaniel, atid was with hi.'; father in
England at the time of XathanieFs death. The following is a part of
a letter which he wrote to his afflicted friends on that mournful occa-
sion: " When I parted from him (N'athaniel) not a year ago I hoped it
would not have been my last farewell; but I nriw lament my unhappi-
ness in that I gained no more by him. And yet I must acknowledge
that the little understanding whicli God has given me in the Heltrew
or Greek tongues was by that brother as tiie instrument; so that I

shall have cause whilst I live to honor his memory. I caiuiut hut
know tliat if I shouM not fear ami love the God of my br<.ithe.rs and
fathers, and of my grandfathers, the nearest relatives I ever liad in the
world will be witnesses against me at the last day."'
It is doulitful whether this Mr. Samuel Matlier ever returned from
England to America. He received his first degree at Harv:ir<l College
in the year KJyU, but it was probably sent to him, as he could not
have been present in L'ambridge at that time. He became --a faithful
and useful minister of the Gospel at Witney, in (Oxfordshire." •• He
was the writer," says Cotton Mather, '-of several valuable treatises.
among which his •' Vindication of the Doctrine of the Trinity.' and his
'Vindication of the Deity of the Holy Spirit,' and his ' Vindication of
the Sacred Scriptures.' shine forth with a particular lustre, and chal-

Rev, Dr, Ml lies Mather graduated at Yale College 17;;!t. and was
settled in Darien, Conn,, t'ornierly the pari^h of Middle.S'.-.x, in '^iie town
of StaniLord. Conn. The church over which he was settled was
erected in 1740. A picture of this old church is to be found in John
W. barbers Historical Collections of Connecticut. He savs. -that
during the Revolutionary -War, a considerable-. nurnl*er of persons dis-
affected to the American cause, resided in thi.^ vicinity. C)n Sundav.
the ■22d of Jidy, 1781. a party of British troops, consisting chiefly of
reftigees. surrounded this church and took the congregation prisoners.
The Rev. Pr. Mo.-cs Mather was at the time pastor of the church, a
divine distinguished tor his piety, le:irning, and most e.xempJary life.
It was the intention of the refugees, or tories. to have taken the con-
gregation prisoners during the morning .service, hut .some nic-iidiers of
the conirregatiou who were peculiarly obno.Kious to them, not attending
church in the foreni.»jn. tlu.-y kept concfaled till the afternoon services

i.ut tiiiuk it. prudent to lire any more, as the liriug of three guus
"would have heen the signal of alarm agreed upon bv the inhabitants of
this place to give notice of any invasion of the enemy. Tlie men of the
congregation were taken out of tht? church, tied two and two. and !);■.
.Matlior was placeil at their head. The refugees then took about forty
horses belougisig to the congregation, mounted them, and marched
their prisoner? to the shore, and thence conveyed them to Llovls
Neck on Lonsr Island. Then after a short stop they were marched to
rScw York and confinoii in prison. Some of the congregation who
were taken off never returned; these pu-obably perished in the pri.son,
ot'Hers were p>aroled, and stmie retiirned after having suflered severely
by tlie small pox. A writer in one of the British puV)lications of the
day. in giving an account uf this e.xpedition. made himself merry in
describing the outcry which the AVomen made at the time tlie men Avere
taken prisoners, as thougli it were nothing to liave husbands, fathers,
and brotliers separated from them by an armed force and taken off to
distant prisons. A son of Dr. Mather was more fortnnate than the rest.
As the refugees entered tlie church he sprang under tlie seat, and the
women sitting before him thoir.^Jothes hid him from ttieir observation.
•■ Dr. Mather havin,iit)een taken into New York, was confined in
the Provost prison. Here liis food was stinted and wretched to a tie-
gree not easily nuayined. His lodging corresponded with his food,
and his company, to a considerable extent, was made of mere rabbk-:
their conversation, from which he could not retreat, was composed of
profaneness and ribaMry. Here also h»; was insidted dailv bv the Pro-
viist Marshal, whcjse name was Cunningham, a wretch remembered in
this country with detestation. Tlds wretch, with other kinds of abuse.

Dr. Spnigue's •• Annals of the American rnlpit " contains an iu-
torestiT\>r letter Ipjui Hev. Mark Meail of Greenwicli. which uives us
the folluw-inir delineation of his personal appearance and social char-
acter:
•• He was a man of about the middle stature, rather slender ;hau other-
wise, of a pleasant expression of countenance, anil free and tasy in conversa-
tion. Dr. Math./r. thoutjh generally a pour man, had a rich vein of Inunor, of
which there .siill remain many traditiims. A man in his parish who pictended
to be a .sort of half Quaker, half infidel, and who was a member (-f the vigi-
lance committee in the revolutiim, as he was ridinu' in company wi;h him on
horseback, .-aid to him. • Your master used to ride an ass. and how i> it that
you ride a hor.-^eV ' • Because.' said the doctor, ' the asses are all taken up for
committee men.'
"Dr. ^NFather u.scd to wear a long, rounded. Quaker ct/at, with very large
brass buttons from top to bottom. The (^nakers at tliat time used l-j wear
buttons made of apple tree, and just enough to fasten their co.its. The •^ame
man mentioned above, on meeting Dr. Matiier one day, said to iiiin Moses.
wiiy does thee wear .so many buttons on thy coat? ' " To show yon.' said the
Doctor, • that my religion does not consist iu a button." "

I timl the r'ollowinii- account of Dea. Joseph Matiier in tue •• Gene-
alogy" of Jolm .IvJiither. 1848:
•Dea. Joj^epit Mather was an influential citizen of the town of
Darien. and was miicii e:?teeiiie<i, and for many years wieMed a very
inuwrtant influence in tiie affairs oi the town.
i.
••Like hi.s father. Rev. Dr. Mu.-^es Matlier, he sutt'ere.l many trials
in consequence of the depredations of the Tories in that vicinity, aixnit
the time oi tlie American Revolution. This part' of (.'ounecticut. as is
well known, was ,irreatly annoyed by the Tories during the period tliat
the Rritish iield possession of Long Island, and it is stateil that forty-
one Tories wer.t from tlie parish t<> whieli Mr. .Nhuher Indon^-ed and,
with otlu'r kindreil v|,inr.s. fortified themselves on Lloyd's Neck, from
thence off<'ii visitin-^: the main shore for plimder. To prevent tlieir
tlepredations as niuch as pe->ssihle. the inlial-itants were under the
uecessitv oi stationintr sentinels along the Sound. One night, as Dea.
Josepli Mather and ('apt. Slasoii. his neighi)or, were keeping a look-out
on the cast. th«-y ^aw two Tories, old ac<|uaintances of theirs, approach-

death, ixjcajue tiu; viit; of ( 'aj/t. vSJaattn), seized ( 'aut. .S's gun, ami
cried out to ' his cc'inrade. ■ Vou take Jo's." Capt. S. lieariug this,
sprang upon his autagunist ami thi'ew him with violence ujjon the
rocks, thu.s giving liiiri to understand that it was not so easy a matter
to gain tiie day. -^^dien he had such men to contend with. .U amither
time, as Ilea. Marlier and several others were on guard one evening.
as thev were seated on some logs amusing themselves, they were tired
upon by a party of Tories, and two of tlieir number were mortally
wounded. Tiie rest took ti> flight, and by crossing the inilldam at
•Rings End' escaped the enemy. The Tories coining to those whom
thev had woumled. said to oue of them whose name was Zachariah
Hoyt, • t'ouoiu Zacli., is this yoti? ' • Yes.' groaned out the dying man.
As Dea. Mather's house was back a mile or so from any public road,
many of the neighbors carried their silver ware and many other valu-
able articles to it for sate keeping.
■• By some means, iiowever, the Tories became acquainted with this
fact, anil a large gang of them came over one niglit and. pkiciug their
bayonets at the Vjreast of Mrs. Mather. <lemandeil of her where the
silver was dep'-'sited. She was obliged to point out the spot, and after
they had taken possession of it, and whatm'er idse they wanted, they
compelled Mrs. M., who had a nursing child at her breast, to make
warm cakes ami get supper for the wliole part\. Wlien they retii'ed
they compelled Dea. ^vlather to accompany them to the shore le.st he
should give the alarm. This was m tlie s'pring of ITS I. In July of
the same year, as tiie congregation were assembled in the meeting-
house on Sal)bath day, a party of forty Tories, who had concealed
themselves in tiie neiiiid.)oring woods till divine service had commenced
iii the ;< f tei ni,)on, suddenly surrounded the church and .set guards at
each door and window. When the alarm was first given Ilea. Mather
and one of his Ijrothers. who happeneil to sit near the door, sprang out
and escaped. But another of ids Ijrothors who was farther from the

was tin.'d at him, which liappily only iuilicted a sliglit wound, and (iid
nut iiindi.-r Iris escapi-.. These, with three or lour others, were ail that
escaped. Tlie Tories tiien entered the house, and one of the number
whose name was Frost, looking up in a threatening manner to the
Rev. Moses Mather, who was still standing in the pulpit, said to him:
• Come ilown here, old daddy." The Rev. I'r. M. kuev\- it would lie
useless to e.x;postulate with such civilized savages, and tlierefore obeyed
their orders. The Tories carried away the Rev. Dr. ^I. aud two of his
sons, ;!nd all the men aud boys of adult age they could find. They
took also away forty horses that were found about the church. Une
lad. a son of Dr. blather, escaped the enemy by being concealed by
the women under the seat. This lad, we believe, is still living, a
worthy member of the same church which was so mutilated at the
time by the rude hand of the Tories. The church and society have
probably never recovered from the blow that was then given it.
•• Dea. Joseph blather lived some j^ears after the Revoluticm. and
was blessed with ten children, all of whom were professedly pious, and
all but two have had families. When Dea. M. died he left ten children,
forty-five grandciiildren, forty-eight great-grandchildren, and one great-
great-graii'lchild. in all one hundred and four. He also left twuuty-
live dfscendants-in-law. Seventeen of his descendants and four of his
desceiulants-in-law had died before him."

Jo.seph, was the .second s<^n of Rev. Closes Mather. D.D., of Middlesex
Society, .'^'"amiord jDarieii), where he was born, July 21. ITo:;. He
united with his father's church, Aug. y, 1778. He was a young man
of much promise, aud soon attained a position of intiuence among the
citizfus of tlie town. He distinguished himself early as a warm advo-
cate of the iudep<iudence of the American colonies; and of course, like
his patriotic rather, he was a constant mark for the shafts of British
and tory vengeance. He lived about tv,-o miles to the north of the
village, and his house was used as a depository for the more costly

oneiuy from Long Island. Ijiit. removed as ho was from the center of
the parish, he was easily found au.l greatly harrassed by liis former
neighbors, who ha^l now g()ue over to the enemy. No less than forty-
for.- of his iather"s parishioners were at one time during the war, just
across the Sound on Lloyd's Xeck, more Intter against patriots than

Miss Jaae Ackeniian ol' that county in I^IT. ami ivmoveil and settled
on a farm in the town oi Micldlesex. Yates County, where he resided
37 years, raising a lauiily of four sons and one daughter. After losing
his wife he reruovei.l to the village of Ilusliville. when tlie sickness of
his daughter and his own advaucini; years induced him to break up
housekeeping and make his hunif with his son ij-eorge, m the town of
Canandaigua. Cutario County, at whose liome he departed this life, at
the great age of vi(.i years. <j mcntiis. and 14 ilays.
■■The subject of this sketch is entitle^l to more than the passing
notice that -he livei.l and has died.' From his early manhood his
rare social C[ualities. his kindly charities, his generous sympathy and
help to the distressed, made him loved and almost revered in tlie com-
munity where he resided. Successful in business from his careful and
prudent management, he acquired a large property, which he distributed
among las childreu.
■■ Mv. Mather s voice was always heard on the right side of the moral
questions agitating the cotnmunity of which he -was a member, and his
liberal contributions to the church of his choice, and, indeed, to every
enterprise desitrned to lessen human woe or increase the social intel-
lectual, and reli>j;ious condition of his fellowmen, was a fixed and set-
tled haiiit with iiim during liis whole life. Kin'Uy. social, and generous
as was his intercourse witli his neighbors, the strong and predominant
characteristic of his mind was his inflexible integrity and honesty, and
those who dealt with liim received his word as a bond, and his promise
as an a-iburanci^ not to be questioned. At a ripe old age he received
that wliicli must come to all. He was ready, ami thus passed from
the scenes of tins worhl a just, y^enerous. and uprigjit spirit, whose
life on L-arth laadi; multitudes happy, and distressed none."

•'The subject of the subjoined notice. Dr. Elisha Mather, was born
at Nortliampton. Mass.. in the year 1792. and died on the 24th of
April, 1840. used 48. He was a judicious and respectable practitioner.
He joined the Massachusetts Medical Society in the year 1824, and
was a counselor and censor in it for many years. He continued his
fellowship till the time of his death.
•'The Hampton Gazetd^, published at Northampton, gives the follow-
ing notice of him; • In noticing the death or this good man and physi-
cian, it is not our object to analyze particularly his character, or describe
minutely the elements of which it was composed, but generally to bear
testimony to his high standing in his profession and the excellency of
his character. Dr. Mather was undoubteiily more self-taught than
most of his professional brethren. He was indebted to his talents, his
industry, and his application for tue rank which he attained in all the
various branches of his profession. He was entitled to entire conti-
dence. AVith the structure and functions of the different parts of the
human svstem he was most intimately acquainted, and was seldom
surpassed in accuracv of anatonucal knowledge. His practice was
invariably founded tipon physiological and p'athological principles.
He always thorouglily investigated the cause of disease and applieil
his reined V accordingly; and though the public as a mass may not
have awarded him that reputation, as a physician, to which he is justly
entitled, those most (competent to judge of iiis qualitications (the medi-
cal profession) have dnW appreciated his great wortli. In his deport-
ment he was neither forbidding nor imposing: brethren could always
approach him without being apprelieusive that they should be over-
powered by his feelings of superiority. In his domestic relations he
was greatly endeared. His conduct m his famiiv was marked by the

Rev Dr. T. M. Cooley was a man of great influence and a leading
man in his day. He was a man of strong convictions, and was alw^ays
ready to advocate measures (or the suppression of wrong doing in his

John Mather published a genealogy of the Matlier family, in isi.s.
of seventy-six paires. There has been a demand for the work, but for
a long time it has been hard to rind a single copy of it on sale. Mr.
Mather established works for the manufacture of gunpowder in Man-
chester, and employed so many men at that period that he was looked
upon as a man of great influence in that portion of Connecticut where
his mills were established. Some of his daughters settled in Auburn.

In Memoriam.
Richard Matuer, .
Born Oct. SI, 179S. Died June 15. ISSo.
"And I heard a voice from Heaven Siiyincr unto me, write, Blessed are the
dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, sjuth the Spirit, that they
may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them." — Rev. 14: 13.
Richard Mather was in the sixth generation from the Rev. Richard
Mather of Lancaster. England, who emigrated to Massachusetts and
settled in Dorchester, in lt;35. He was the son of Capu Sylvester
Mather of Lyme, Conn., who was lost at sea in 1810.
236 THE MATHER FAMILY.
In November. 1814, Richard Mather came to Binghamton. New
York, where all of his subsequent lif(i was parsed.
On Sunday, May i'.lst, the first warning of approaching death came
with a slight stroke of apoplexy. The splendid constitution that had
so grandly withstood the wear of eighty-six years of active life suc-
cumbed slowly. The struggle lasted through two weeks. Saturday
niglit he fell asleepv and did not awaken again until Monday morning,
at ten minutes past one. when he passed away with a long sigh and
awoke on the other side. The funeral services were conducted by the
Rev. (jr. Parsons Nichols. D.D., the pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church, whose address is appended to this memorial.
When we call over the rapidly diminishing, now almost silent, roll
of worthy men who were a part of the early history of this city, and
who have been prominently identified with all that is best in its
progress and welfare, one of the foremost figures upon which the eye
has hitherto rested is Richard Matlier. Henceforth this also must lie
among us a silent name. The well-known form, the long-loved pres-
ence, the beaming, benignant countetiance has pa,ssed away, darkening
a wide circle by its departure.
Richard ^Slather was descended from the fam.ous Puritan Mather
family, and was born m Lyme. ("onn.. as far back as October 31, 1798,
so that he was ol<l enough to remembei- the great cha racters and stir-
ring events that distinguislied the opening years of tlie present century.
He was born before Washington died, and saw, during his boyhood,
the star of the first Napoleon blazing towarel its fall, and felt the agita-
tion which the war between the United States and Great Britain raised
in the breasts of the New England men.
At the age of IH he was left fatherless; two years later he came in
a sleigh to Binghamton to take a position in a store. From that
time — as clerk, merchant, manufacturer, and retireii citizen — his
uninterrupted residence ami di'arlv lnvcd honn- for seventv-two years
has been in this city. Ho wns present at the organization of the Fir.st
Presliyti^rian (.'hurch, and witnessed the plnntiug of all the noble insti-
tutions of the city. He was him.self a prominent agent in making and
moulding the city, a strong iufiueuce in advauciug its highest interests,
a universally respected and honored citizen, — often selected bv his
NINTH GENERATION. 237
fellow men iur posiiions of public trusts and responsihility. liotli civil
and reliicious. He made pulilic confession of his faith in tlie Lord
Jesus Christ ;it the age of thirty-four years, and immediately connected
himself \viih the First Presbyterian Church, in whose liistory he ever
felt a just p-ide. and wiiose fair honor he ciierished down to his last
day with a loyal afiectionateness as inspirinir as it was beautiful. He
was a real churchman of God's own makiuir, a soul imlmed and ani-
mated to the verv core with loyalty and fidelity to the house of (ioil,
and the ministrv cf God, and the service of God. For many years he
was a trustee of the church, and in IrfGu he was placed upon the bench
of elders, which office he held until his death. But while the First
Churcli was his home and peculiar dehicht, he gave all churclies —
Protestant and Catholic — his warm right hanil. and received in turn
from all fraternal affection and higli regard. Seldom is dust committed
to dust amid expressions of regret and sorrow so sincere and so general
as those which accompany this aged man to his grave.
We are at a loss how to characterize and where to place this dear
father of ours. He belongs, by the inmost quality of his being and
wliole expression of liis life, to the category of the good. He was a
good man after the New Testament type of good men, a man Iwloved
of Heaven, one of the excellent of the earth, a living embodiment of
all nobleness, sweetness, strength, and simplicity. When we speak of
Cliristian g<>od men we are reminded of two diflering kinds of charac-
ter — one which is allied with a certain moroseness of nature, quick-
ness of temper, sharpness of speech, ami which struggles into the light
against many difficulties, and through many o'oscuring clouds of regret-
ful words and acts and behavior; the other which springs up and thrives
like a plant in congenial soil, and which blossoms out, as it were, spon-
taueouslv into all kind thoughts, kind words, and fresh, genial sympa-
thies. To this latter and rarer tv-pe of goodness our beloved father
belonged. His was a .soul ever full of moral music; a presence that
always brought sunshine; a cliaracter serious without harshness, cheer-
ful witliout levity, conscientious without a touch of imperiousne.ss,
always breathing forth an atmosphere of calm repose an(.l gracious dig-
nity, which was a blessing to us all. He combined the lirmness and
strength which conviction gives with ;•. largeness and gentleness that
come froui wi.sdom and charity.
•ZiS THE MATHER FAMILY.
Let those who think it consistent with their position or rehgiou to
ini.lulge in ;hi iusok-nt temper, and to treat with intolerance and rude-
ness those who ditier from them, remember — as they must often have
seen it — the prudent abstinence, the gracious urbauitv, the tender
consiiieration with which our friend met tlie jarring cij-cumstances and
impetuous cliaracters of life as if he ever kept before him the divine
ideal of Him ■■ who when He was reviled, reviled not again; wlien He
suffered, threatened not, but committed Himself to Him that judgeth
righteously."
I have not ventured, m this public presence, to go behind the veil
of our friend'.s private and domestic life. But those who are familiar
with it know well that all the sweet word hn?tie means, tliis place was
to him; and all the sacred words hu.'sbanil and faflfr mean, he was to
this place. Not one of the sorrowing group of which he was the cen-
ter but remembers with grateful tears to-day how near he held them
to his heart; how he made their troubles his own: and how ready he
■was to encourage them in enterprises before which they were halting,
and to cheer them when they had bravely done their task. His wife,
for more than sixty years, hastened to him. as the bin! to her hiding
place, and his children rose up and called him blessed.
We, none of us, my friends, believe in the faultlessness of any
man, but we recognize the fact that out of our faulty texture our Lord
Jesus Christ can weave patterns of goodness which are revelations of
Himself and inspirations to us all. Such a pattern has He woven in
the life now closed un earth.
In parting with such an one, whether we look backward along the
long path of the earthly pilgrimage, darkly shadowed with difficulties
and trials and sorrows, or forward to the fullness of light and joy and
peace at God's right hand, we may repeat for him and urge on our-
selves those beautiful words, whose meaning is inexhaustible: '■ The
path of the just is as a shining light that shineth more and more unto
the perfect day."

This notice of Andrew A. Mather is Iroui one of the Ellington papers:
"He was born in V't-riut^nt in 17ft-'. His father, Stephen Mather,
moved from Lvine, Conn., where records have l.>een found showing
that Andrew A. Mather was the ninth genei-atiou of Mathers. At the
age of 18 years he came to Jett'erson County, this State, and at the age
of 2.5 was married to N[iss Betsey Stebliins. Having friends in Elling-
ton, he came here with liis family 44 years ago, with the intention of
clearing liim a home out of the wilderness. In that object he was suc-
cessful. A farm of one hundred acres, which was all woods, was
cleared bv him and his cMer son.^^. and tie iu'is lived to enjoy the fruits
of his labor. Eight chddven were born to him, of which only two sur-
vive him. Sixty-four years of wediled life was his, some of which
have >>een full of grief and sorrow. An only dau,ghter died at the
age of 18 years; five sons Lrr»~w To nuiidiond, and were then taken: but
the last great ^rief was bitterest to the aged wiii-. Tlie deceased united

with rhe Metliodisr ChuiTh in Iris yomiij;(>i- days, ami although the past
few years he H-;is. unable to attend service, yet the love of God was
manifest in him. A i^oo'i nta* has passed away. E]lini;-tou lias Inst
another pioneer, an aged wife a companion, children a parent. But
our loss is his gam. He was ripe tor the harvest, and heaven is n<uv
hi^ home."

Fairfield. \v!io was witii iiim in lus last moments, believed that his
death was caused by the rupture of a ])lood-vessel m tlie region of rite
heart.
'■Dr. William blather was born on Barto Hill, one mile from rhf
village of Fairfield. April 28, l.soi'. He was a direct descendant, in
the eighth generation, of John and Fillen Mat'aer. who liveil at LowImh,
Lancashire L'uunty. England, near Liverixiul. Hicliard Mather, the
granilsun of John and the son of Thonuis Mather, preached at Toxteth
(,"hapei. in Liverpool, and came U) Bdstijn in 1 '>.'!.'). Fruiu this oriuin
nearly all of the Mather name in this country have come. He was
married to Miss Mary A. Buell May 'H. \f<'.ji). whom he survived six-
teen years. He is survived by three children. William A. Mather of
Fairtield. Mrs. Albert B. Watkins of Albariy, and Alonzo C. Mather
of Chicago, and five grandchildren. •
•As a };oy. Dr. Mather was of a thoughtful, studious disposition,
and early developecl a marked taste fur scientific pursuits. He entered
Fairiield Academy at the ago of fourteen, ami continued a membei' of
the school during several years. Even at this age lie had done much
original work, and early gave pr<">mise of tlie scientific attainments
which, in after years, were to make him a valued educator in his sfie-
cial iield of work. He afterwards took a full cour.s;e of study in the

and teacher, both uuiile callings and for both of which nature hatl well
fitted him. In is'JT. at the suggestion of l)v. Jolm A. Kinnecut of
Buffalo, who iluririLT the preceding year, as a resident gra<hiate. had
taught a class in chemistry. Dr. Mather formed a cla.s.s fo-r private
examination iu tie Medical College, and for many years continued his
connection with the Medical College. In IS'J.S he was invited to give
a course of lectures to the academic <ind tlieological students at Ham-
ilton, and continued to visit Hamilton for this purpose each year until
1838, when he was appointeil Professor of Chemistry in Madison Uni-
versity, now Colgate. From a letter written Oct. 13, 18.jl, by Ste-
phen W. Taylor, we learn the conditions of tlie contract. Dr. Mather
consented to give instruction to the students of the university for an
indefinite term of years, provitle and keep in repair his own chemical
apparatus, and remove his cabinet of minerals, fossils, and geological
specimens from Fairfield to Madison University, in <;onsideration of
which he was to receive S35U per year if he reiuaiued five years and
eventually doiuited his cabinet to the university; orhei-wise he was to
receive S3()0 jier year from the beginning. His chemical apparatus
at this time was valued at .Sl.tiUO. and his cabinet at S,^^!!, To Dr.
Mather the Colgate University of to-day owes much of its well-ap-
pointed laboratory, and still more to the interest wliich he aroused and
successfully maintained in its scientific departments. This position he
filled with great success, adding to his lectures on Chemistry instruc-
tion in Geology, until 18^l7. In 1841 he received an invitation to
accept the Professorshij) of Chemistry and Fharmacy in the Medical
College at Castleton. \'t., wh^re he gave courses of lectures for several
succe^ssive years.
■'The study of Natural Sciences, especially. Chemistry, was in its
infancy during these years, and instruction was given very rarelv ex-
cept in lar^je schools and the more progressive colleges. The system
of lecturing upon scientific subjects throughout the State, in the differ-
ent places where an interest in them had begun to arise, was entered

value placed upon Dr. .Mather as a scieutitic lecturer, we quote very

■• As au autlior ho wrote no exiuuded work, but his pun liad been
aeiivt; iu various directions for uiauy ytars, aud his coutnbutious to
local aud soieutilic periodicals were numerous itud valuable. Perhaps
no other man was so well versed in tlie early history of tliis section,
especially with reference to its pioneers and the rise and progress of
its "•ducational institraioas. His memory was remarkably vivid, en-
abling him to recall -^^-ith great accuracy and fullness the incidents
wliich came to his personal knowledge from his earliest years as a
resident of the town. His assistance to Mr. Benton, in the preparation
of the History of Herkimer County, was invaluable; aud many pages
of tjiat work were written entirely by Dr. Mather, and tor which he
did not receive the credit which justly belonged to him. His series of
articles on the ( )riu:in of Fairfield Seminary, and later on, a similar
series on The History, Work, aud InHiieuce of the Medical College,
were extensively read and widely copied. <Jnly recently, a paper pre-
pared by him on the Fairfield Medical (,'oUeLce, was read before the
Utica Historical Society, by a prominent physician of that city, and
received high praise. For months previous to his death he was en-
gaged in collecting material and preparing manuscript for the forth-
coming History 01 Fairtield Seminar}-. His memory was remarkable,
especially with reference to events which happened m liis youth or
early manhood. He took much interest in tiie uenealogy ul the early
settlers of Fairfield and vicinity, aud spent much time iu tracing out
lines of descent in answer to questions sent to iiim from people now
widely scattered.
•He gave valuable assistance in the preparation of biographies
of Dr. .\sa Crav. Dr. Hadiey, and many others whom he knew,
either as fellow student.^, or with whom he lalxjred. in after life,
as an educator. His p>enmansliip. in the style of half a century ago,
was remarkable for its neatness and clearness, and resembled copper
plate, and tlie notes which he took only last Monday, as Secretary of
the Medical CoUoi^e Board, which iinnually meets at Little Falls, are
an e.^act counterpart in style and penmanship to those taken by him in
the same capacity when he was tirst electe'l secretary, in 1840.

•■ Xo man ainon^ the liimilreds uf distinguished ahinini ul • Old
Fairfield ' took groutur interest in his ahna mater tlian Dr. Mather.
From his early youth lie had an intimate acquaintance with all its inner
and outer workings. He took special pains to become acquainted with
all its teachers, ani.1 was ever ready with his kind encouragomeut an'-l
oilers of advice and assistance. When a new teacher was aijout to
commence his dtities in the department of Physical Science, it was his
custom to aid him in his first use of the apparatus, and frequently to
assist him in his expermients, and the writer of this article will ever
hold him in grateful remembrance for much information and help in
that department.
"So solicitous was he for the prosperity of the school, that he-
always endeavored to keep in his mind the exact number of students
present, and often, at the beginning of each term, would watch the
number of lights in the buildings during the first few evenings, in
order that he might judge of the prospects of a successtul term,
anxiotisly commenting to those whom he met upon the favorable or
unfavorable indications. While he was President of the Board of
Trustees he took great interest in the Regents' examinations. He
would perform the tiresome duty of a committeeman, and look over
the answer papers, and was always regarded Ijy the students as a very
pleasant and efficient guardian of the Regents" interests.
•■ In prosperity and adversit_v the school has found him the same
imvaryinjj: champion, always ready to work, to contrilnite funds, ami
speak for its interests. The teachers have found him a friend and co-
worker in the cause of education, and the students a man abounding
in knowledge which he always was wi'ling to impart.
■'He had been a trustee of the school since 1853, president of the
board for about twenty vears, and was a prompt and regtilar attendant
at all the meetin.es. and an active participant in all discussions relating
to its financial and educational matters.
"When, a few years ago, the indications were that the Seminary
was about to clo.se. when many people ft-ared that 'Old Fairfield" had
done its work and must henceforward Ite counted among the institu-
tions of the past. Dr. Matiier, with earnest solicitude and zeal, lal)ored

aud he lived to reji'ico in itLe well lilled rooins .-ind uuiiierous lights
that gleamed from the windows opposite his residence.
•' He was also an earnest worker in the Protestant Episcopal Church,
of which he was ftjv many years a vcstiTnian. He was always atten-
tive to e\'er_v duty, takiuir. as he did in every good work, an active
interest in all church affairs; and it was ol'ten remarked ii}- those who
knew liim l^st. that few men ever lived a more genuine, practical.
Chri-stian life than Dr. ^[ather.
'• He was a man of perfect hnnetity. remarkable in ins habits nt
punctuality in all iluties. of .strict accuracy and system in tlie e.xecution
and roc(jrd of all business trausaciions. and of marked kindness of heart.
He was ever careful aud considei-ate ol tlu^ feelings and circumstances
of all around him. and the univi-rsal testimony of his neiglibors aud
tho.se with whom he came into tlie most constant personal contact,
shows him to have been a man of unusually broad views and benevolent
character. In his latter years he was somewhat afilicted with deaf-
ness. l>ut did not lose his deep interest in all current affairs. He read
constantly and carefully, and kept well informed on public questions
of the day. He was public spirited, and contributed freely of his time
and means in support of local projects. He retained to the end of his
life the mental faculties of a remarkably well l.ialanced and even liril-
liant mind. He has passed away in the fullness of years, esteemed and
lamented by the entii-e community.

Hon. William Mather wu.s a man of sterling qualities, a true friend
to all good obiects, was held in very higli esteem, uot only in the town
in which he lived l>ut in the rotate at large. He represented the tuwn
in the Legislature of the State, where his iniluence and his vote was
always to be found on the side of right measures and for the yiublic
good. Mr. Matlier's family line stops with his chd'lren. as none of the

rnan W. Mather weut from Saratoga when quite young with his
mother to Geueseo. where he remained until the year 18'J7, when he
went to Livonia, where he continued to live until his death. In liis
dealings, with his fellowmen he was truthful, frank, and honest. Those
■who had known him forty years called him a 'model man." One oi
his sons, Rev. Frank D. :Mather, is a Methodist clergyman, and is
preachiutx in California. X. AV. M.'s daughter, Mary Aurelia, married
Rev. Wm. R. Benham,- the presiding elder of the Elmira District.

terian clergyman of Verona, N. Y. Col. Mather contributed lil.erally
to the Geneseo Wesleyan Seminary of Lima, JS*. Y., and toward other
objects of lienevolence."

partment of the Western House of Refuge for tlie past eight years,
has resigned his position to engage in business with Moses Hoole &
Co. of Chicago, a prouunent coal firm of that city. Mr. M. may look
back with pardonable pride upon the record and excellent reputation
he has made in Rochester, both professionally and socially. Ho was

TVolciitt Mather, was horn in Win Isor May 23, 1809, iu the home-
stead of his paternal irrandfather. Colonel Oliver Mather, which homo-
stead now is owned I'V the Getieral.
His father died Deceml^er 23, lb 14. His mother remai-ried No-
vember 12, 1816. and the care and support of the boy was assumed
by this grandfather.
The ('olonei was an extensive and prosperous farmer, and the boy.
in accord wirh New England tlirift. -did the chores" ; and as he
grew older and stronger, became familiar with all the farm industries.
To the exercise and tliscipline of this farm life he credits his physical
vigor and robust health.
One of his achievem'ents,, when less than eleven years old, indica-
ted his energy and resolution. In April. 1820, during a high freshet,
in the Hood near the "Stone Bridge'' tisliing place, he .saw a young
man clinging to a treacherou.- Hoat wliich. by the young man's strug-
gles, was rolled over and over, submerging hi^n much of the time.
He could be reached only with a l^oat. (')f such all Imt one were
fastened with lock end chain ; that one was a decked lishing l>oat.
loaded with a long seine, ropes, etc. With much difficulty the boy
cast the load overboard, launched the boat, paddled out to and drew
the voung man into it. fie was almost speechless, and so helpless
that he could not sit up, but muttered repeatedly the word "uncle."
Tliis led the boy to research, and in still, clear water, abont two hun-
dred feet away, he found a stout man beneath lying face upward, ap-
parently lii-eless. Ho raised the man to the surface, and after several

efforts. <lrew him into tlie Imat. He tlion hnrrit^il tn the hind, rallied
assisrauts, and .>ent fur Dr. Pier.'^on.
The man was carried to the re.'^idence of Mr. E. Lonniis. where,
after patieut etiorts, he was resuscitated. The yoimu; man move
speedily r<.'Covered. Tliey were a M'-. Phelps and nephew, from
Barkhamsted.
The boy's schooling was mainlv in the district sch.ool, though in
later years he at tinie.^ attendeil the academy. Ahvays a faitliful and
reputahle scholar, in tiie academy lie stmlied rhe ru'iiments of both
Latin and Greek, faintly hoping that at some time he might pursue a
full collegiate and professional course.
In 1S"2!'> he i-esolved to make a determined eti'ort to that end. and
in Xovember he arrangeil wir.h the Piov. >[i-. Perkins, of Amherst.
Mass.. for his aid as tutor in fitting- for admission to Yale College. Tn
January. IS.Sl, he was admitted ro rhe Sophomore class in Yale. — a
class which entered iiefore he commenced his preparation. Under
these circumstances it was not easy at first to maintain a satisfactory
class standing : hut he accomplished it, and graduated honoralily in
1833.
Having selected the law i<:>r lii^! profession he read one yeat- in the
offices of Governor Ellsworth and Judge Parsons, in Hartford, and
another year in tlie Yule Law School.
In 1S3.J he received a proposition to enter a law office in tlie city
of New Yoi-k, wliich. l>eing a'lverse to his then purpose to go West,
required consideration.
Among others with whom he advised was Erastus Ellsworth, a
retired Xew York merchant, who conteuteil himself hy saying, •• New
York is a great business tirld, and should you conclude to go there,
with industry, honesty, and economy, you will succeed.''
Appreciating those three virtues, in Xovember. 1S35, he became a
"law clerk'' in the office of Walter Edwards, on Wall Street, with a
salarv of one hun'lred dollars a year. The law then rei|uii-ed a three
years' clerkship before he could be e.x'amiued for admission as an at-
torney, aii'l tliree years' practice as attorney before he cc'uld Ik; exam-
ined for admis.<ion as a counselor; but in 1^37 the Supreme Court,
by courtesy, permittetl him to join a cla-ss then to bo examined for

admissk'U as counselor. He \v;ia e.xaimneil in- Cluirle? O'Connor.
Duniel Lwd. aU'l XichDla.s Hill, nnd ou iht-ir r.,'e'iiaineiiiltitiun was
comnii.ssioutHl a counselor at law, tour years soouer ihau otherwise
he- could have lieen.
In 1.^3s he was oonunissioned an alt..iniey at law, and soon en-
tered the ileld of professional competition. Having married, and
with no particular patronage, the strug.irle at times seemed hopeless ;
but by l>-t4 he had more tlian a fair living.
In Xovember. isu. he was elected to the New York State Assem-
Ijly, session of lS-4'). This took him from liis professional busines.s
for five montlis. and nearly wrecked it. though he ha<l left it in caro
of a competent lawver, showing that his business was a pi.'rsonal cou-
fideuce. A few years of renewed efforts more than retrieved such
loss, and thenceforth he prospered.
But tlie time came when he found the requirements of his profes-
sion too exacting, and having gradually put them off, in 1.>.SL' he
retired from it.
The foregoing sketch would l^e incomplete without the mention of
other facts pertaining to him. In 1S37. 1838, and 1840. respectively,
. he was commissioned First Lieutenant, Captain, and Lieutenant-Colo-
nel in the 2iUth Regiment, 64th Brigade. X. Y. State Infantry, an<l
on November 14. ]>i42. he was commissioned Briy;adier-General to
that Brigade.
It may be noteworthy that while a strict disciplinarian, he was
unanimor.sly elected to each of these military offices. As au otFicer
he found pleasant and wholesome recreation from his professional con-
finement and labors.
His 5}^npathetic nature early associated him with humane and
charitable institutions in the city of New York, of wliich are, The
Prison Association. The Association for Improving the Condition ui
tht; Foor, Tlie Sanitary Association : with each of wliich he held ofii-
cial relations.
Medical charities have particularly interested him. He initiiited,
aided in oriranizing, and for more tlian a (juarter of a century wa.s tho
President of The DeMilt Dispensary, which from its opening, in l8.jl.
to December 31. 1S>'..). treated nine hundred and tifly-lwo thousanil

ile actively co-oi)erated in the initiation antl ortranization tif two
other dispensaries, viz.. The North Western and The Xorch Eastern,
both successful and riseful institutions. He is a life member of The
DeMilt. The Xorili Western, and The Xew York Dispensaiies.
He was one of the original incorporators, trustees, and organizers
of The Roosevelt Hospital, an institution of acknowledged high rank
and usefulness. < >ther institutions of charity have been aided by his
services and otherv\-ise.
In 1.S7-! he visited hospdtals and dispensaries in Great Britain and
on the continent, some results of which are embodied in the Twenty-
Fifth Annual Report of The DeMilt Dispensary.
He was one of the originators of The X. Y. Yale College Alumni
Association, and partici[)ated in the f'irmatiou <'f The Yale College
Law School Alumni Association, also The Association of the Bar of
the City of Xew York, an<l is a merab'-r of The Amei'ican Geo<;Taphi-
cal Society, a life memVier of The X. Y. State Agricultural Society.
and of The Xew England Society.
He long served a- director of the Eighth Avenue Railroad Co. :
also as director and for ten years as President of The Richmond
County Gas Light Co.. Staten Island.
State and city affairs have had nuich of his attention. As before
stated, he served in the Legislature in isi.5. In 1S.")4, and again in
1S5"), he was elected to the Common Council <if the city, au'l served
therein till IS.jT.
For many years as Inspector, ami for several other years as
Trustee, he gave a requisite care and supervision to the public
schools in the city of Xew York.' To these offices he was elected
from term to term. Windsor has nor litou forgotten by him; educa-
tion there has roct.-ived his aid. and so two other public enterprises.
The oM and historic cemetery lias int(.'rest>'d him from his early
years. He cau.sed the inscriptions on some ancient monuments to
be re-cut. .-ind iias erected two irranite nn uvuneuts to replace perishing
marl.>le structiu'es.

In \^b'.) he prepared aiiil advocated, and the (.ieneral -\..ssetnbly
euaeled. a law for the care and preservation of that cemetery and it.s
monuments. He has doim much to put that law int<^ elHcient opera-
tion, and has suliscribed liberally to the cemetery trust fund.
He has twice married. First, on May 'A, is:;7. to Elltin Piimeroy
Goodrich, dauj^hfer by adoption of Elizur tjoodrich. of Hartfurd.
From this marriage there were eight cliildreu. viz.. two sons and six-
.daughters. The eldest son was drowned with others '>ti the niglit of
April 7, 18-4.3. from the wreck of the ••Swallow," near Athen.?, on the
Hudson River, and the youngest son <lied in his second year. The
daughters have all married, and are living. Tliis wife died Septem-
ber -JO, 1871.
- On December 20. 1^7(5, he marrieil Chariutte Foster, "laughter of
"William Fibster, uf Cumberland County, England. She died June IH,
1884. childless.
With well-defijied religiotts and polirical convictions, and fearless
to avow and lefentl them when assailed, he is neither o)>trusive or
intolerant. His devotion to principle rather than partisanship is
shown bv the fact thfit for each of the puljlic offices to w hich he was
elected as lieiore stated, he was the nominee and candiilate of inde-
pendent citizens, and in opposition to the party machines.
His pride of lineage, if he have any. con.-ists solely in his intie.xilile
purpose not to dishonor his ancestry. He is the only male Mather of
the Colonel Oliver 1 -ranch.

TENTH GENERATION. 337
He was tho liead of the banking house of A. D. ^[ilillor .S: Co. of
that city. His younirer brother Joshua was his partner until his
death, when Charles Wesley Mather, his nephew, became one of tlie
firm, under the same name, A. D. Mather i: Co.
A memorial book of 48 pages was published after his death, which
I am permitted to extract from for this work, which gives some ac-
count of his successful career.
From the Utioa D'lili/ Ohserver : '•• It may be said of him that he
accumulated larger wealth in the period of three and thirtv years than
any oiher man that Ulica has known. He was the architect of a for-
tune grown to colossal proportions, of whicli the foundations wer(^
hard work, the pillars untiring energy, and the keystone financial wis-
dom. No factitious circumstances, no family influence, uo special
stroke of luck helped him forward. It was hard and barren ground
in which he delved for gold. While others rested or gave their time
to idle pleasure, he toiled, with the fixed purpose in- view of acquiring
wealth. There came a time when men envied him his great posses-
sions. Tint he had never hoodwinked Fortune in bestowing on him
her special favors. He was strict in di'iuanding the fulfillment of a
contract, but Im was even more strict in the performance of his own
obligations. If his sympathies were not easily enlisted by stories of
privation, it must be remembered that for years his own acts of self-
denial made the stories only the echo of his every-day life. Tho los-
si>ns which he learned in poverty could not be forgotten in wealtii.
His success was perfectly legitimate.
" From his early youth up to this day, A. D. Mather's word has been
as good as any man's bond. He vvas slow to promi.se, but quick to
fulhll. He asked for fewer favors than he granted. The trade that
came to him came not because of his attractive qualities, but i)ecause
he treated his customers with exact fairness. He overcame ot>stacles.
which, to ordinary men, would have ]>een insurmountaljle. He was
willing tu eat coarse food, to wear plain clothes, and to live in humble
quarters, that he might ad<i to his fortune.
"His social nature was fine, lait undeveloped. He was neither a
misanthrope nor a miser. He was not even covetous: lie rejoiced
heartily and unaffectedly in the success of those aroimd him. He en-
43
338 THE MATHER F.VillLY.
joyed the companionship of his fellowmen. Ilis laugh was wholosome
and never cynical. His appreciation of a kindness was very keen.
He was a baoholoi-. but his respect for women was \-ery liigh. He
was absolutely free from pretension of every sort. Tiie arrou:ance of
wealth 'was so far removed from his uatui-e that ho 'lid not kno^v wliat
it meant. The plain manners which he had carried into his little
grocery store were not laid aside when he became a prosperous banker.
Not many know him well, but those who did liked him and admired
him. He was a good landlord: after the reverses of 1873, he went
voluntarily to several of his tenants and proposed a reduction of their
rents. Those who imagined him a peculiarl}- penurious man could
not understand this; but he governed his life l)y certain lixed rules of
justic-^, and to a greater extent than many a professed philanthropist,
lie olieyed the precept of the Golden Rule — he treated others as he
would wish them to treat hira.
" Early in the war, ilr. Mather made some wise and profitable in-
vestments in real estate. His property rose in value, ami people called
him lucky. "WTien he embarked in the banking business his future
was freely predicted; but he belonged to the small class of n\en who
never fail. His outlays were so small that he was always aljle to keep
a reserve fund. His investments were at once bold and catitious; he
thoroughly understood the rule of financial success. He bought; when
things were cheap, ami sold when things v.-ere dear. At first sight it
would appear that this is the universal rule, I'ut it is seldom practiced.
When railroad shares which are now selling at par, were quoted at
twenty cents on the dollar, not many persons could he induced to Iniy
them, though tliev are in ea^jer demand to-dav.- But Mr. ^father
bought, realizing enormous proiits. which- were equally open to all.
He took risks, but so distribute'! his investments that the failure of no
one scheme, or two, or three, coul'i endanger his fortune. He found
his pleasure in the acquisition of wealth; he did not know how to be
extravagant. In recent j-ears he has always contributed mo'iestly to
all subscription lists that were [>resented to him. au'l in many ways he
showed that he was trying to learn tiie art of spending money — in
the accumulation of which he was a very master. But his linal sick-
ness came too soon for him to make much advancement in that part
TEXTH GENERATION. 330
of his eJuciitioQ. Fl' he liad lived Ion;i-er ho -would perhap,^ have dedi-
cated a portion of his great wealth to ol'jocrs of charitj-. lie certainh'
^ould not have used it for the gratification of his own selfish desires.
His waurs were few, his tastes were simple, and he was not vain of his
success. *
" His affection for his brother, the partner and associate of his whole
hHisine.ss life, was almost childlike in its depth and sincerity. These
two walked together over the paths of adversity into the high road of
fortune, fidrhful to each other, industrious and tireless men, winning
tiieir v\-ay \>y iian;! work. If report speaks true. Mr. A. D. Matlier
leaves a niiUion dollars. And now that "-he record of his life is
rounded, it can be said of him trutlifully. that he knowingly wronged
no man in rhe acquisition of this great estate."
The Utica Herald says of him: '-He left home when he vv-as
twenty-one. purchased a farm in Jefferson County, lived there a year,
and rented it. and alter a little found his way to Utica, where, in part-
nership with a younger brother, he estal.ilished a grocei-y business at
the corner of Genesee and Bleeker Streets, in 1847. The two brothers
began business with little or no capital, and in a humble way. For
nearly twenty y^ars they remaineii in this business in the same spot.
Tlieir trade did not greatly expand during this interval; but ^^•hat they
earned they saved. They slept and ate in the l[)uilding where their
daily work was done, and accumulate(.l capital slowly but surely by
rigid economy and careful personal attention to details. "When the
war broke out. Mr. ^tatlier began making investments in real estate.
The result justihed his sagacity, and before the war ended he was a
wealthy man. In ISGti. the grocery business was abamioned, and in
the same location the private banking house of A. D. Mather & Co.
was established, ilr. Mather applied to l^anking the business habits
he had formed in tho.se earlier days. lie continued to purchase largely
in real estate as his surplus accumulated, and at his death he was per-
haps the largest owner of improved i-eal estate in the city of Utica.
The elegant banking house at the corner of Genesee and Bleeker Sts.
was his only attempt to improve the city by buildinsx: but some of his
venture.?, like the securing of the Arcade, were l)old. and indicated
one of tlie principles to the faithful observance of which Mr. Mather
340 THE MATHER FAMILY.
could attriliute a large purtion of liis material success. There was not
a slii-ewder nor longer hea-l than his among our bii.^iness men. The
citizens of Utioa, so many of whom have watched Mr. Mather day by
day, as he steadily outstripped them in the accumulation of tlie worM's
goods, 'will learu of his death with a smcere regret, and remenlber his
life and achievements with re>pect and esteem."
13G*' Joshua ^lathor, tlie younger brother of Asaph D. Mather.
, is now the head of the new firm, still retaining the old tirm
name, Mr. Charles W. Mather, a nephew, becoming a partner.

work.

In is.") 4 he Iiecanie interested in the lead mines of Fotosi, \Vis.. and
TENTH GENERATION. JIO
afterward hunted and trapped in the Bail Axe country iu that State.
Here he learned enough of the Chippewa language to become intei--
preter to tlie goverumem survey in northern Minnesota. During the
political troubles in Kansas, he served umh'r (-i-en. James Lane, and
was one of Jennisou's '• Jayhawkers." He enlisted in the li;]th New
York I'egijuent in l'?62, and he became 1st Lieutenant two years later.
At the close of the Civil War he took a elerkshij) iu the live-stock
yards near Albany. In 1SG8 he bought ii farm at Honeoye Falls,
N. Y., and began to hatch fish of \arious kimls. When tlie L'nited
States Fish C'-mmissiou was formed in IST'i lie was sent for by Trot".
Spencer F. Baird to hatch shad li;r the Potomac River. In lS75 he
established hatcheries at Lexington and Blacksbarg for the State of
Virginia. A year later he had hatched the first sea-bass and grav-
lings. After several vain attempts to transpori salmon eggs tij Europe,
he devised a refrigerator box, and in 1875 succeeiled in carrying ihe
eggs to Germany. He also, at the same time, invented a conical
hatching apparatus, by which, tlirough tlie admission of water at the
bottom, shad and other eggs were hatched in bulk instead of upon
trays or floating boxes.
In 1884- he hatched the adhesive eggs of the smelt, although all
previous attempts had been failures.
He has been sent abroad several times V>y the United States gov-
ernment in connecti>'n with, fish culture, and he has medals and testi-
monials from many scientific societies of f^umpe. In 1877 he became
fishery editor of TJf-' Fii-ld in Chicago, and since ISSO he hns held a
like position with Forest and Stream in New York city.
In 1SS2 he was sent by Frof. Baird to Roslyn. Long Island, to
hatch salmon for the Hudson River. In. 188.} he was appointed super-
intendent of the XewYork fish commissiun station at Cold Spring Harbor.
Long Island. Here the hatching of lobsters, C(^dnsh, and other ma-
rine forms was begun. He has published •• Ichthyology of the Adi-
rondacks "" (1S8.'5). which descril)es several fishes heretofore unknown.

Death ov Prof. MAxnEU of AjniERST.
Prof. Richard H. ilatber of Amherst College died iit miilnight Wednesday,
after battliair fi'S" nearly a year with a painful malady, -(^liifh, to his imme-
iliate friends, was known from t)u: tirsr to be fatal. The I'l-s will l)e a serimis
one to the college, for Pruf. Mather held a place of peculiar relationship to
the institution, which he served with -his ])est talent and fnr which he was
equipped to accmplish much. The favorite pupil and young companion of
the venerable nnd !(>vcd Prof. W. h^. Tyler, lie was fitted for a professorship
in the college bef"re the dfys of special:ies, when .1 broad and general equip-
ment was demanded. Altliough he left the ministry, he never gave up
preaching, and his sermon.-, will be remembered with pleasure by many peo-
ple in the Cuimecticut valley and eUe%\here. He was a speaker of more than
average ability, and a forcible ami graceftd writer, a man of great tact and
force, who touched the public at many points. He will be greatly missed in
the colleire. the town, and the region wliere he was one of tlie notable figures.
The illness winch ended liis life was cancer of the bowels. A dangerous sur-
gical operation last fair made him a litlpless invalid, but prolonged his life.
He was reluctant to retire from active duties, liowevur, and even when in
sulTering conducted his work for a time at liis house, when too ill to go out.
He bore tlie keenest sulTering with fortitude, and uncomplainingly looked
forward to tlie release.
Prof. Mather was the sou of Henry Mather, of Bingham ton, N, T.. where
he was born Feb. 12, 1S3.5, He i^repared for college at Hopkins Academy in
Hadley, Willisttm Seminary, and the Bingliamton Aeademy. He took tliree
years at Amherst in tlie class (jf l>^o6. m.iking for himself a tine record as a
student, especially in the languages. He left college at the cio.<e of his junior
year, spent a year in traveling through Europe and tlie East, and then joined
the class of 1857 at Amherst. After his graduation at the head of his class,
he returned to Europe and studicfl philology at Berlin University. From
1S59 to 1861 he was in.structor in Greek at Amher.'^t. and continued in the ser-
vice of the college until his death. He was made an assistant professor of
Greek in 18(31, and professor of Greek and German in 1864, a position he held
for fifteen yenrs.
It was during the seventies that Prof. Mather became interested in the tine
arts, and in 1S79 he dropped German and was made lecturer on sculpture.
Through his enersry and financi.tl ability the college secured the finest collec-
tion of plaster cast> in the country outside of Boston. An art mustium was
opened in Williston Hall in 1>^T4:. Prof. Mather having visited Europe a
short time before in order to make a careful selection of casts, engravings,
photographs, etc.. and the establishment of this museum marks u distinct

stage in tlic growth of tlio ci^llege, as it siipplementcfl tlie art lectures and
became a notable factor in the training and advancement of the studi-nts.
The museum contains oasts of most of the famous anli(iue marbles, as well as
specimens of the work of Michael x\jigelo, Can<Aa, and Thorwaldsen. The
famous frieze of the Parthenon encircles the hall, and the collection contains
full-sized casts of the Ghil)erti gates, Crawford's doors at the national capitol,
Angelo's Moses, the J2gina marbles, the ^[yceu:u lions, and scores of other
art treasures. The Anvlu-rst cast of the Crawford doors is the only one in the
country. Among the antioue statuary, full size, there may be mentioiud —
from the Vatican: the Kmeling Disk Thrower, the Disk Thrower in Rci»ose,
Apollo Saurocthi'uos (Praxiteles), Cupid (Praxiteles). Demosthenes (Poly-
Icitus), Laocoou, Apollo iVlvidere, Torso lielvidcre. Fighting Gladiator
(Agisias), Sleeping Ariadne and Minerva ilcdicr.; frun\ the Louvre: Venus
officios, Diana with the Stag, Diana Robing, Venus de Medici, Germanious
and the Borghcse Achilles: the museum in Berlin is represented by the
Amazon of Polycleitus and Meleager; from the museum in Athens: the
Torso of Victory (P;eonios). discovered by Prof. Curtius at Olympia. and
Ilermes supporting the infant Bacchus ^Tra.\iteles,), also disct)vered at Olym-
jiia by Prof. ( urtius; fro7ii the capitol in Rome: the Satyr (Praxiteks)r the
Hying Gaul, the Wolf and Twins, Flora and Antinous; from the nm.seuni at
Naples, Psyche, the Sittmg Mercury and ..Eschines, the Wrestlers, the Knife-
gruider and Dancing Faun. Fine specimens of medieval and modern statu-
ary and anTi(iUC busts are to be fcumd in the museum, and the collectiou of
bas-reliefs is exceptionally good. The miscellaneous casts include the lio>etta
stone, the Va.se of Candelabrum from the Appian Way. the Bacchanalian
vase, a well-e.xecuted plan of the Acropolis, and the newly-acquireil statue of
Minerva, which i< (.lainied to be a truthful representation of the statue in
ivory and gold in the Paithenon.
Prof, ilather went abroad again in lb8S, when he prepared a course of lec-
tures upon Greek life, taking occasion to add to the college museum and art
collectiou such specimens as would best illustrate the subject. It was tlie
professor's dream to see the erection of an art building that would be a tittiug
companion to Walker Hall, the college church, and the gymnasium, now fac-
ing the campus. If his life had been .spared a few years longer, there is no
doubt that he would have been able to carry out these plans. He had been
promi.-ed small sums by various loyal friends of Amherst, but they did not
aggregate enough to justify the undertaking.
There can be no doubt that Prof. Mather's devotion to art has had a
marked intlucnre upon college life at Amherst, ilis divisions were always
crowded, and even outside the college there came freipient demands for his
lectures. It is quite pos-ibk- that his art lectures ami his notes on Greek
home life may form the nucleus for a book for the general public. Prot.

blather v\;is fur many years a familiar tigure at alumni iiathi.'riiiijs atul cullcgc
reunions. No racuiber of tht' faculty probably came in c-ontact witb so many
giiKluatt's ill their own States and at their own homos as cliil Prof. Matlier.
His voice wa^ usually for money, and it Tvas noi always rai;H'd in bi-ludf of
Greek or art either. His interest in thx college broadened and deepened with
age, and while other mend)ers of the Amherst faculty were greater favorites
with graduating classes, it was long ago recognized tliat Pnif. Mather had a
strong hold upon those who were in a p(»sition to inform themselves about the
work of the college, and were read}" to aid the iustirution with money. In
Tyler's ■"History of Amherst College," i.ssued in 1^73, occurs this jiassnge:
"For many years now tiie instruction i!i Greek has all been given by profes-
sors, — and all ])y Prof. Tyler and Prof. Mather. To tlie scholarly attain-
ments of the I.i:.'.T, his personal and professional enthusiasm, his >kill and
patience in drilling the fre.shnien, and his inspiring lecttu'cs c-n the Greek
drama, th'' ilcpartment is most indebtei^ fur its success. At the same time the
college owes not a little to Prof. Mather for his teachuig and lectures in the
German langu.tge and literature, for his zeal and success in raising scholar-
ships and fvmds for the museum of art, and for his services in his turn in the
pulpit." He was a h.ard worker, ami he issued several college text-books as
the incidents of a faithful career us an educator. These include selections
from Herodotus and Thucydides, the Electra of Sophocles, a ^Manual of
Sculpture, the Prometheus Bound of .tscludus, and otlier books. U'hile he
was never settled over any church he frequently acted as a su[>[)ly to the
churches in neighboring towns and cities. He received the degree of D.D.
from Bowdoin College in 1871).
The tirst wife of Prof, blather was a daughter of Daniel Carmiehael of
Geneva, N. Y., who died in 1^77. By her he iiad three children, — the wife
of Rev. Dr. Williston Walker of the Theological Seminary at Hartfnnl, Prof.
William T. blather of Williston Seminary, and Edward blather of Boston.
His second wife, daughter of Samuel U. Mather of Cleveland, O., survives
him. There is also a young daughter by his second marriage.
Prof. Rich.ird Henry blather, a well-known educator, died last evening,
after a long illness. He was for thirty years a successful teacher at Amherst
College, was the editor of a number of valuable text-books, and had gaineii high
honor in h'\> profession. Ho was born inBinghamton, X. Y,, Feb. 12, IS:;."), and
graduated at Audierst in lSo7. Two years later he was appointed tutor of
Greek, and t .vo years after that was promoted to ti.'c Assistant Professorship.

In the South Tyrol, where those dazzling peaks.
The Dolomites, uprear their crystal heads.
The hardy mountaineer, who daily treads,
Their wild recesses, strangely never speaks
Of them as aught but nature's common freaks;
Laugliing to scorn the faiih which yeai'ly s]>rcads.
That ages reared them out of ocean beds:
To him they are but marble free from streaks.
So tlus rare soul has stood among his peers.
With crystal front, of liner grain, tlicy knew,
, And always purer from a nearer view.
But not until amid his life's best years
He, stricken, fell, have all agreed, with tears.
That once in ages, only, such men grew.

In a memoir, puLlished by L J. Austin, of Xewport, Pi. I., in New
England Historic and (jeuealogical t;ocit;ty, 1S83, also in painplilet form,
containiuij aLout nineteen pages, we get a fine history of William W.
Mather, who wa.s a classmate of Mr. Austin, in adilition to the various
positions he tilled so well. He adcis: ■■ As an author upon subjects of
. general science ami miscellaneous topics, his pafun's in t.'ii.s depart-
ment, from l83(i to 1S35, number thirty -one. xifter the latter date,
until just before his ih-cease, he was still engaged in congenial occu[ia-
tions, but no record of them has l.ujen found." Mr. Austin (inishes
his memoir of him as follows:
" In the careerof Mv. .Mather. thu^> imperfectly sketclied, there can hardly
fail to be perceived .^ome of the traits which cluiractcrized his distinguished

progeiiitiir. Tliu cunscicntious ami piiticnt industry, the eaLrorness for kiiowl-
t'dico, tlif tirm adlH renre to his sense of duty, tlic deep->ealed and siueere
religious prim iple. \vlii( h were conspicuous in Richard ^latlier, were promi-
nent ill his descendant. As the hite Dr. Pahner .justly nliserveil, 'In his
death, science has lost a ma.ster and the eountry ;i benefactor.' His position
in tlie ranks of knowledge cannot easily be tilled."
Extracts in Western papers after his death:
"Prof. ^y. W. Mather, an old and honored citizen of Columbus, Ohio,
died at his residence on St;ite Street, Saturday inorninu;. In the death of Prof.
Mather science has lo>t a master and our country a hencfactor. His pusiiion
on the roll of knowledLre and research cannot easily be filled." After suni-
niinu^ u]) his various jiositions of u.sefulnes^. adds: ''Tlie Professor had tiie
largest and best collections of minerals and every description of yeoloyicul
specinieus in the West. It is to be hoped this cabinet \\ill he placed in our
State A^^ricultural Department of the Capitol, as a beuetit to the cause of
science and a nv.mento of Prof. Mather."
Another paper speaks thus of his decease:
■■ In the viii-or lif manho>id, in the midst of Ids ur^efulness, with the purity
of his life unsullied, the honors of his professional career untarnislicd, he has
pa.sst:d away. He lived to honor his race and station; lie died to be missed
and lamenleil. In these allusions to the deceased we have spoken of him
only as a member of the comiuon brotherhood of our race, as the man of
seience. intent upon the duties of his professional life. But to tho.se who knew
him best the lionors he ii:\d won in iirher dei.iarlineuts of life were overshad-
owed by the adornment- of those spiritual graces that so eminently character-
ized him and endeared him ro those with whom he moved in Christian alliance
and intercourse. In his extensive knowledge of the physical win-ld, in all his
scientitic investigations, ho found nothing to foster the barren spirit of skepti-
cism or a cold and cheerless inddelity. He found the name of ids God inscribed
on the flinty rock. He looked down into the deep valleys and up to the lofty
mountains: the voice oi the Almighty Crealoi' cann; up to him from the one,
and ihiwn to him from t]:e other. Tlie deep recesses of the e;ulh, which he
explored, taught him lesM'Usof the infnute wisdom, power, and goodness of
the Deity.
" He early enibnui'i. w;:h a warm and ardent faith, the revealed will of
God as reeorded in His V.'ord. as ho felt, it coineided with tlie great book of
n;uure, the lessons of whieh lie was daily readin-.;. In the winter of 1^:38-9 he
eonniiied hini.self with 'Lc liijiti^t denomination, anii witii them conriuued to
worship till his last siekri'-ss detained him from the house of Go<l. He was a

member of tiio First I'aptist Church (;t' ('()luinl)us, ami iliose who have boeii
in attf'iidance wiih him at tlie sanctuary for tlie l^ist few months of liis life
coulct not but notice tlie inereaseil fervor of his devotions and the marked
earnestness of his prayers and exhorrations. A^ his di^rase inei'eased upon
him. and the probabilities of his recovery diniiinslied, I he cahnness of liis
s:)irit and the tiruiness of his faith were never for a moment disturlji'd. lie
looked at 'he past and saw it glidicr from his view, witluait reirret; he lookeil
for the futtire. and it was all radiant witii the light and i^lory of immortality.
The grave liad lost its terrors, the victory of a (''iiristiaii faith was Lis. lie
spent tlie greater portion of his life among the liills. I'oc-k.s, and caverns of the
earlii. Hi- made the earth his study. That carlh has now oi)ened her bosom
to receive him. The earth can only claim that which is kindred with herself.
All that she has given >he may take. A>lic;5 to allies, du>t to dust. God
breathed into that manly frame the breath of life. He planteil there a living
soul. What God thus gave He has iaken unto Himself. That noble intellect,
that well-stored mind, freighteil with its treasures of earthly knowledge,
adorned and beautitied by the sanctifying treasures of grace, our faith I'un
follow in its trackless pathway up to the throne of God. The funeral s(.>iem-
niti(-'S were deeply impressive. The pastor of tite church priMched an appro-
priate discourse, and the rentains wen- d.'posited in their narrow home under
the escort and amid the interesting and solemn obsequies of the ma.>ouic fra-
ternity. 3Iay God sanctify the afflictive .'vent to the relatives and numerous
friends uf the deceased."

grocery store wore not laid aside when he became a prosperous 1)ank<n\
Xot many knew him well, but those who did liked him and admired
liim. He was a good landlord: after ihe reverses of 1.ST3, he went
voluntarily to several of his tenants and proposed a reduction of their
rents. Those who imagined him a peculiarly penurious man could
not understand this; but he governed his life liy certain fi.xed rules of
justice, and to a greater extent than many a professed philanthropist,
he o>>eyed the precept of the Golden Rule — he treated others as he
would wish them to treat him.
" Early in the war. Mr. Mather made some wise and profital>le in-
vestments in real estate, llis property rose in value, and people called
him luckv. When he embarke'l in the l.iankiug business his future
was freely predicted; but he belonged to the small class of men who
never fail. His outlays were so small that he was always alile to keep
a reserve fund. His investments were at once l)old and cautious; he
thoroughly understood the rule of financial success. He bought when
things were cheap. an<l sold when things were dear. At first sight it
would appear that this is the universal rule, but it is seldom practiced.
^^^len railroad shares which are now selling at par, were quoted at
twenty cents on the dollar, not many persons could be induced to buy
them, though they are in eager demand to-day. I>ut ilr. Mather
bought, realizing enormous profits, which were e(iually open to all.
He took risks. l.>ut so distrilujted his investnients that the failure of no
one scheme, or two. (^r three, could endanger his fortune. He found
his pleasure in the actjuisition of wealth; he diil not know how ti.> be
e.\travagaui. In recent years he has always contributed modestly to
all subscripti>.'n lists that were pre.sented to him, and in many ways he
showetl that lie was trying to learn the art (^f spending money — in
the accumidation of which he was a very mast>'r. But his final sick-
ness came too s<rju fur him to make much advancement in that part

GA"T. SAMUEL. MAThER,
DEEP R.v'ER. CONN.
TENTH GENERATION. 396
Samuel "Vre1>b Mather was killo'l in ilie army at Florida. Mrs.
Hubbard lias two oliiKhvn, Catherine, born Sept. 13, 1S70;. Samuel
Mather, born Dec. 3, ISSl.
Samuel Webb Mather, second sou of Joseph Pliggius and of Cath-
erine TTebb, was born in Deep River, Saybrook Township, Conn., in
1824.
At an earlv age he exhibited nautical traits and instincts in high
degree, and at the age of sixteen years was permitted, reluctanrly, by
his father, to make a voyage to China, as a l.ioy " before the mast."
His unusual qualities as a sailor aitracre.] the attention of Commo-
dore R. B. Forbes of Boston, one of the most accompli.4ied command-
ers of the century, who was a passenger on the return trip with Samuel.
Commodore Forbes, though an entire stranger to Samuel and to
his family Tjefore. wrote to his father, urgently recommending that
Samuel be educated and fitted as a seaman for command.
This advice was followed, and Commodore Forbes and his brother
were ever after his firm friends.
When thirty-one years of age, Captain Mather was chosen to com-
mand the American clipper ship Ni'jlifhi'ime, of Boston, in the inter-
national contest between her and the British clipper ship Chnlhixjir,
from Shanghai, China, to London.
The Xi'il'fin'j'de had just been beaten in a race over the same
waters. Under her new captain she reached the English cliannel
nearly two weeks ahead of the Lluilknye,; and restored the supremacy
of the "Stars and Stripes.''
At the personal request of Commodore Maury, who was at the
head of the Hydrographic Bureau at Washington in 18.33. Captain
Mather pursued the -'great circle course" projected by Maury, for
doubling the Cape of Good Hope in making the Australian passage,
demonstrating new and most important theories and facts in ocean
navigation, and reducino; the thue from New York to ^Melbourne from
ninety-two days to seventy-six, which has never been equaled by any
other sailing ship.
He also shortened the time from the China Sea to London, and
made other memorable voyages, which are recordt.'d in the "United
300 THE MATHER FAMILY.
States Government Sailing Directions/" and in the Bureau of Hvdrog-
raphy at Wasliingtou. and are followed as ocean routes.
Captain Mather exph^'ed and found new channels in the China
Sea, sometimes with a small hoat and hand lead, and added much to
the nautical literature of his country.
He many times circumnavigated the glolie, and was received with
public demonstrations of respect and of regard in tlie principal mari-
time cities of the world.
In ISGl, Dt the outhreak of the Civil AVar, the ships and ofB.-ers of
the Navy being scattered to remote points, a •■ Union Defence Cotn-
mittee" was organized, consisting of tlie most eminent merchants,
business men. and citi;^ens of Xew York, Boston, and Philadel])hia,
auxilii.ry to the Secretary of the Xavy. Captain Mather was the first
officer chosen and commissioned under the auspices of that committee
in the naval ser\-ice.
He took more prizes iu 1861 than any other commander in the
Davy.
He commanded under the flags of Commodore Stringham and of
Commodore Dupont, winning commendation from them and from the
Secretary.
Captain blather fell, killed instantly, receiving many balls, while
leading an attack on forts on the Atlantic coast at Musquito Inlet,
Florida.
His loss was greatly deplored. Comn>odore Dupont wrote of him
in the highest eulogy.
His body was returned with his arms with honor by the insurgents,
assigning as a reason that he had fought so l)ravely and fall._-u so
gallantly.
His remains were sent North by the g.->vernment, and lie in his
native village.
Secretary "Welles, in announciuij: his loss to the country, in puldic
orders, said: ■•Captain .\[atlier had no superior among that patriotic
class of men who have been translVrn;d to the Navy from tlie
Mercantile Marine."

"lu the death of !Mr. Mather .VJbany l!)ies one of her be jt business men —
one whrvby his eueriry and v.-i!i-power built np a larirc wholcsik- house in our
citv. Mr. 3[:itlier ^vas born at Burliuirtou in this State forty-ei.irlit years ago.
His t'atln.T %viis Andrew A. Mather, one of tht- foi-emo.st ciiizens of Otsego
County, h.avinc: once been elected sheriff. The family wa-; deM:en'i..'d t'roui
the di-tinu'uislied Ri.h;ird ZHaihcr. Adrian was tlie oldest sou, and early
evinced brightness, aptitude, and intelligence, which were carefully indulged
and promoted by his father, who discerned the future business career of his
promi>iug boy.
"In 18o9 Adrian went to Ilion as a clerk in the store of Edson, Delano &
Co. The folhwing year his emphiyers were glad to retain his services by
admitting hiui into tiieir rirm. Five years later he came tf) Albany, where he
at once, v, Lrii his brother A. Dan, starteil the rirm of AI;uh?r BrotliLTs. in the
-wholesale gncery trade. AVitli ni> iiui.>ide intluence. with little capital, iuul,
in fact, naugl'.t but hi^ own natural >hrewdne.s.-., business tact, au'l innate
integrity, the ul-w liouse almost immediately ioitk dn'p root in the business
world, and a thriving trade was theirs from the lir-i. lu about l^'JO the rirm
was augmented by taking into it another brother. Andrew .E. Mather. The
Three brolliers were well adapted buiii to one ane>llk-r and to the wants of th<.'ir
bu-^iness. All of them W(;rked hard, while they were very felicitous iu the
selection of rheir employees. The credit of the concern was always unlimited,
loiter, ia faer. than that of many of their rivals who had more capital. This
wtts owing largely to the promptness and honesty. which ehamcterizeil all its
dealin.::s, and to the fact that tiie word of the bri>thers was alwav.-^ fully as
ffood as their si-natan-s. Tiie marked abilitv and entcrin-jse of Adrian was
always conspieuou.-;. and ol'tained for his business the f;ivr.r and indulgence of
the large >.cw York hoUscs. The banks too, both here an<l in the metropolis,
were ever readv To li..-lp them. Some time ago Mr. blather's talents were
recognized by electing him to a directorship in the Slate National Bank of
Albany. This w.is a grateful acknowledgment of his elTorts iu b^hilf of the
t.iank. About three years ago he organized the ^lath'-ra- Robitisoa Cornpany.
a corporation re[ireseuting larire c:ittle interests iu Colorado, .Mdutana. and
Idaho. The .success of this company contributed largely to the capital of the
ELEVENTH OEXKRATrOX. Aol
ilatlier Biotheix, wliu arc its piiiKii>al stnrkhoKlc!'-'. He w;is al-^n ,i director
of tlic Nl'W Yurk Xaiional ^Futual Aid Society. His dclifatr liialrh alun.'

labored mueli.
" lie was ((uiek to discover and to reward true iiK-rii. lie di tested sliams.
llatterer*, and ])reteiidi'Vs. anddi-iioiincfd thorn oi'eiilv. His \\.irni syiniiatliies
and earfiest ond(.-avors were sometin\es conei-idcd hy liis ai>parciit lirusqtieiie»,
\^liieli was attributable mainly to bis ill iiealth. At luarr he was guileie^^.. can-
did, and atfeelionate. hi his family ho was a model luivband. parent, and kins-
man. To liis friends ho was ever ready to listen and give eneouragenient.
iiis charuy was both inteili-ient and liberal. Anything wortiiy or de>erving
always founil in him a supporter. He was indirtei'ent to w litit an\ one thought
of his action wlu-n he knew himself to be. in the right. Albany can ill afford
to lose such men. The grocery bnsiness f'Munh.l l)y him will be eontinm-d i)y
the .sorrowing brothers, one of wlaun, Andrew'-, hasiiad charge of its manag<'-
ment during the absence and sickness of the di'Oe.-ised. Success must follow a
house so established and conilucted."
"At a meeting of the direi'tr)rs i>f tlie X<-w York Stale Xa1ion.il Bank,
lield this moniing. the Presidimt announced llie death of Adrian <). .Mather,
one of the directors, when the following action w.is t.aken:
'■ '\Vir':i;i:.vs. information his lu'cu recei\ed here of the death, yesterday,
at tlie I-Ie ■■( Wigiit. L. 1.. of our fellow dirci'tor, Mr. Adri.ui (>. .Mather.—
•' llisi.i.-.il^ Tli.at We enter on our nunutes our regret at thi^ .■^ad and iiuc\-
IK'Cted oceurrence.

of the b;ink, made liim.self respected by us ail. .and we had come to .idtl esteem
to rcs[K'ct.
" His death is therefore a loss to the l)ank, and tiu/ city loses in it .also an
up'right and intelligent merchant, whose energies, combined with thosi' of hi--
partners, in the house ho estttblishod. htive made' it as well kmcvji for its

Winwiek Pari'ih. WinwicU deservedly rank-s amongst the mosle.vtensive
agrioulinral parishes in Lancashire. The extreme length of the ancient i)ar-
ish, froip. Hi'Ugi'.tin in the south to the- northern boundary of AviitiMi in
i[akertiel<i. ua> ei^ht miles and a half, and in breadth from Burton Wood in
tlic west rf Bury Lane in tiie east seven niili.-s, eonipreliendiug an area of
'20.47>3 .st-.tute acres. The ancient parish of Winwick contained up Xr> the
year 1^*41 the teu town.ships of South\vor(h-\vith-Croft, and Xewtou-in-3Iaker-
tield, Culclieth, Kenyon, Ashton-iu-Makeriield, Ilaydoek, Lowtou, GoUuirue,
Winwick--s\ ith-IIalnie, Houghton, Middleton, and Asbury. In that year, Imw-
ever, by the Winu-ick Rectory Act, prc^moted by the liberality of the rector,
this parish was divided. Soulhworth-with-Croft and Xewton-in-3Iakertield
(or in the willows') were at once nuidc enHrely separate parishes. In I8i'> the
contemplated tiivision was carried further. The amended Winwick Rectory
Act of thij year constituted Ctdcheth and Kenyou township into the pari.sh of
2few Church, Ashtvm-iu-Makeriield and Ilaydoek into two pari.she? re.-peet-
ively named A.'^hton-in-^Iakerlield and St. Thomas-in-Ashton, Lowton and
Golborue into one parish, with provision for subsequent separation. Winwick
being left v.iih luerely the two tuwuships of Winwick-with-Halme, and
Houghton. jJiddleiuv.n, and Asbury. In Ls.ji) a new church was couijik-ted
and consecrated in Golborne. ^\hich thus becomes a separate parish, and Hay-
dock has been since separated from A.shton, St. Peters from Xewtou, and St.
Mary's fr.nn Liwrim. So that the ancient jjarish of Winwiek now consists (>f
the foUov.ing eleven district parishes, viz.: Croft-with-Southwonh. Xewton-
in-3Iakertield, St. Peter's, ZS'ewton, New Church, A.shton-in-3Iaker!ield, Hay-
dock, St. Thomas-in-Ashton, Lowton, Lowtou St. Mary's, Golborne, and
Winwick. From William Beamont's '" History and Antii^uities of Winwick," I
take a few items:
"Sir Pi-ter Lcyce^tcr rells us from Camden that parishes in Englaad
began to be formed about i5y6. which is so near the period at whicli King
Oswald fell th;it wc may well im.igine it to be the era when Winwick
became a parish in Newetou Humi'T'd, wlu re a church was in due time
to be built and dedicati'd to him as its saint by a popular canonization. In
1086, when the Domesday Survey uas made, this church had been built, and
its district or j.arish i>. described."
■iO'l THE MATHKR FAMILY.
5Ir. Beamont irivcs an account i>f all the masters of the Winwick Gram-
mar Schiinl. from the 1st. Henry Johnson, the former curate of Winwick
church; 2d. Andrew Ryder; ;!d, William llorrockc; 4th. Kichard Maiher.
who was app<iintecl by ^ir Peter Lcixh. Kni;rht. Then follows an account of
Richard blather of nearly tliree pages. Then follow the names of Ricluird
31athi'r's succe.'^sors down to IsTl, when Frederick Walters and Joiin Ednumd
Gillon were appointed.
In ISfiO the school cir.ramissioner, Bryce. made some statements implying
that the s<hool liad iwr pn duc«-d any very .satisfactory results. ^Ir. Beamont
saj's: ■ In making the.~e ren\arks the learned commissioner took too coulincl a
view of the value and use of the school. llaA lie known more of its history
he would have seen that it had sent forth scholars, as wt-ll natives as
strangers, who.se names u ill live. Of the former ^^as 3[atlier. of Lowton, and
of the latter was Cromwell's chaplain, the learned Howe."
TOXTETH PARK, LIVERPOOL.
Toxteth P^ttk is bounded north by the parish of Liverpool, northeast by
West Derby, east by p:irish of Cheldwell, west by the Mersey. Two rivulets,
which, united, are comm'>nly called the Jordan, bur which were the ancient
Oskelesbroke. are the i.>nly supplies received by the Mersey through Toxteth
Park. To.xteth Park was held by the Crown in 1297* if it was not then the
property of the Earls of Lancaster, it soi.m after came into tiieir possession. It
was seven mile-, in circumference in 1.^27. In 142G, To.xteth Park was well
stocked with deer. In lt>04 it was sold to Richard 3Iolyneiix. The popula-
tion of Toxteth Park in 1>31 was 24,0t5T; in 1861, 69,284. All the Queen's
Docks and all the docks south of it are in Toxteth Park. (In 1832 Toxteth
Park was received into the boroMgb of Liverpool.;
.Rev. Valentine B. Davis, the present pastor of Toxteth Park Chapei, in
his account of the ancient chapel from the year 1618 to 1883, and of its minis-
ters, particularly uf Richard Mather, the lirst minister, says that To.xteth Park,
which had been Crown property since the reign of King John, was in the
year 1604 disparked, and came through purchase into the hands of Richard

clo:?e of Elisabeths reign the park is spoken of as " waste land without inhabi-
tants." But on the dispnirking of the domain a number of farmers settled on
the land and began its cultivation. These people seem to have been Puritan
in their leanings, and at once gave a distinctive < haractcr to the district.

the Puritaus the necessary land for a chapel, showing very great lilierality not
often found iu those days. The cLupel was buiir (by them or their landlord)

liumble little chape! was built by a >fream which ran down the course of what
is now Park Road, the sources of which have long since been dried up. The
rising ground towards Liverpoi;! shut our the view of the church tower and
the turrets of the old castle, and it must have been a beautifully secluded spot.
Even now there is a peculiar restfidness about this place if one can put away

My Dear Sir: — I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of Feb. 28,
and should be very irlad to give you any information in my power with reirard
to any link that might exist connecting our families together, but unfortu-
nately we have never been able to trace any connection with the family of
Cotton Mather. In my youuger days I took some trouble iu the matter, and
discovered as much as I could with respect to that family. My information
tallies exactly with what you send me, but I believe that our family tame
from a different part of England, though probably in far distant times a
branch of the same stock as your own. I have heard of the de>ceudauts of
Cotton blather beiiiir in Xova Sc(^tia at tiie present day. The name is bv no
means an uneommon one in this country. Ymi are probably aware that it is
the Saxon term for a "'Mower." I am very glad to hear that <ome bearijig

been duly received by me in this my winter island home. Tliey have been
specially interesting to me, and have been the sources of many happy thoughts

to do much for you. I know no one in my family worthy of y^mr notice but
_ my own father. 3[r. .James blather, of Nottingham, who was distinguished for
his Christian virtues and as a humble worker iu the Christian church with
which he and his ancestors had been so many years ctiunected. A.s I hope to
'be iu Xi.ttingham during the i-omiuir sunin\er, I will i^btain more information
and give you full particulars. However, there is nothing connected with his
life which is \Gxy interesting. Being by profession a mechanical engineer, he
was selected and appointed in 1><21 to establi.sh the manufacture of lace at
Calais, iu France, tliat has now beiome a marvelous industiy and has a
world-wide reputation. But in addition he also established in the lower town
of Calais, at St. Pierre, a Christian church and Sunday-school which ha.s been a
great blessing to the English communit}- there. There is a tablet erected to
his memory in the chape! there and his name is known and revered by every

of glad surprise. I am afraid that I cannot throw much light on my Mather
ancestry. I know something of Mr. Jc-hn Mather of Xevvton Mearns (and
Glasgow); we may be reckoned cousins in a thinl or fourth degree. The late
Riiv. William Mather, of Stan'ey Free Chnich, near Perth, was also a relative.
I was born 17th of May, 1809. and married my cousin. Henrietta Mather, 11th
June, 1867. She died in Ajiril, 1877, leaving four children, William. James,
Henrietta, and Marion. My father was "William ^Litlier, who was f.iriiur in

tion about his aneestors. and the ereetiou of the tomb, or little niau.solenni, in
the old graveyard at .Meiklt' Earuuck. As it mives a great ninnber of addi
ti'uial facts, and corrects some of the .statements made in my former aceoimi
of tiic Strangs and Mathers, die iufonnaticmcommnnicated maybe reproduced
in a supplementary paper.
The sn<.Tess!on of the Strangs as luird.s of Meikle Earnock. together uith
date of tlie enclosure of the old burying-groimd as formerly stated, may be
repeated here. James i^rrang appears to have acijiured the lands about 1054.
He was succeeded by his son James, who. about 1731. enclosed a portion of
Fairhill Park for a liurying-grouud. Pie dieil in 1746. and wa< buried there,
as appears from the inscription on his tombstone. His son and successor,
James, sold Fairhili Park in 17tj:3 to a Captain Cuventry. ■'excepting /.''.-./v^
the 'new' buryiug-ground upi.ia the southwest corner of the said Fairhill
Park, enclosed with a <toue w-;dl." This James Strang died in 1777, and Itd't
three daughters, co-heiresses, Janet, .Alary, au'l Nell\'. The two latter died
unmarried, and Janet hecan:e sole heiress. She married, in 1770. Robert
AInther. who belonged to an old Hanulton family, and had a large family of
sons and daughters. Her husband died in ISOS. and she survived him till
ly3'). being the la.st of the Strangs of Meikle Earnock. She was succeeded bj
her son. John ALather. who was the first and th'.'.Iast hard of the name, the
property having been skIiI in his time.
It appears that the marriage of Robert Mather and Janet Strang was not
the tirst union of the Strangs and Mathers, as nu' correspondent, !Mr. !Mather,
is in possession of a family Bible, which belonged to his great-grandfather,
John Mather, in which is registered the date of his marri.ige to Catherine
Strang, and the names and date of birth of his family, which he has co[>ied in
full and transmitted as folltjws : — "■Inscription. John blather aught this

Tt may be noted that .Janet Xaismitli, 3[r. Mather's gr;uulii'.<rlier, was a
daughter >oi John Xaismith of Dniraloch. and his wife, Plelen C"v.-per. H^r

Drundoch. on ^vhich he wrote a treatise. Owing to Ids literary .-itrainments.
he was made a burgess of Glasgow. He was the ancestor of the An* iiini amp-
bell family, the late Dr. William Xaismith being his grandson, t> whose .siai,
Mr. W. ^y. Xaismitls. I am indebted for these notes.
3Ir. Mather says that his grand-imclc Kobert, son of John blather and
Katherine Strang, married his cousin. .Janet Strang', heiress of Meikle-Earnock,
which siiows that his i,Robert'.s) mother was a sister of James Strang, Janet's
father.
In conchision. 31r. Mather gives a few details of the history of another
grand-uncle, John, youngest son of John .Mathc'r and Catherine Strang, who
went out to Jamaica, came home, lived some time in Edinburgh, and built the
tomb in graveyard, and (quotes part of the deed of disposition of the portion
of ground on which it is built. •'I has'e bu-en informed,' he .says, "that lie

The Inde."^ tif ^Marriages has been omitted, for the reason that it would
require a large space in the book, which now is larger than was at first
contemplated, and the value of such an inde.K is not great except to a
genealogist.
I have omitted four Mather wills and inventories of the 16th and 17th
centuries, which were of great length. I had them transcribed for the work,
and by advice of others have left them, with other matter, out of the book.
