CALEB BEXJAMIN TILLIXGHAST, A.IM., Litt.D.
Bt Edward S. Sears of Winthrop, Mass.
The death on AprU 28, 1909, of Caleb Benjamin TiUingliait, at
the age of 66 years and 25 days, removed from his many useful
activities a public official of noteworthy efficiency and devotion to
duty, a leading officer in this Society, a wise counsellor, a good
citizen, and a faithful friend. A student of humanity as well as of -
books, his judgments of men and his estimates of literature were
sound and just. Singularly free from self-seeking, he gave to every
interest with which he was identified the best that was in him. He
was tolerant of the opinions of others, kindly in his personal rela-
tions, staunch in his friendships, and of absolute integrity. Few
men indeed have been better loved or more sincerely mourned.
Caleb Benjamin Tillinghast was born at AVest Greenwich, Rhi)de
Island, AprU 3, 1843, the son of Pardon and Eunice Tillinghast,
his mother's maiden name being also Tillinghast. Through lx>th
parents he was descended from the famous Baptist minister " Elder "
Pardon Tillinghast, whose name is prominent in the early annals of
Ehode Island. On liis father's side the line of descent was through
Pardon,' Pardon, ° John,^ Charles,* Pardon,' Charles,' Pardon';
on his mother's side through Pardon,' Pardon," John,' Thomas,*
John,' Benjamin,'' Eunice'.
Kemoving at an early age with his family to Windliam County,
Connecticut, ^Ir Tillinghast entered the schools of that county and
gamed an unusuallj^ thorough education, partly in the schools, but
chiefly, as he himself wrote in recent years, " through a natural love
of books and access to a public library." He was particularly strong
in mathematics and history, and so well did he improve his oppor-
tunities that while a very young man he became a teacher and an
officer in the schools of AVindham County. In the sprmg of 1870
he came to Boston to take a position as reporter on the Boston
Journal, to wliich his wide reading and his taste for literature in-
clined liim. During his nine years' connection with this newspaper,
filling the position of city editor during the latter part of the time,
he was an industrious and assiduous reporter, devoting himself no:
VOL. LXIV. 1
4 Caleb Ber.jamin TminghoM [Jan.
onlv to directing and revising the work of others, but to producing
compact and accurate chronicles of many important event- and
movements of the day. His tastes hxl him into the company of
authors, lecturers and ptihlic officials, and be gained not only a wide
acquaintance with the men of mark in these various branches btit an
intimate familiarity with the atfairs of the Commonwealth. Mean-
while he foimd time for much reading and l>egan the collection of a
private library, which he continued throughout his life. He fi-e-
quented the libraries and the bookstores and publishing houses,
making friends with the prominent writers and publishers of the
period. He was a discriminating reader, as the several thousand
volumes in Iiis library attest. That his companionship was valued
bv many authors of note, autographed gilts of their books in his
library are evidence.
But his newspaper career, osefiil and congenial as it was, served
onlv as a preparation and a stepping-stone for his life work. In
1879 the late Joltn W. Dickinson was Secretary of the State Board
of Education and by the law in force at that time was ex-officio
librarian of the State library, then comprising a few thousand books
and pamphlets. In June of that year ilr. Dickinson offered ]Mr.
TdlinghasT the composite position of assistant librarian, clerk and
treasurer of the Board of Education. From that time till his death
the librarv and the educational system of the Commonwealth held
foremost place in his thoughts. Acting as librarian from the first,
he became State Librarian in 1893, by virtue of Section 3, Chapter
86, of the Acts of that year, which reads : — "The present assistant
librarian of the state Hbrary shall be the hbrarian until a successor
is appointed and qualified." As no successor ever was appointed
during his life, he held the place till his death.
Although this law terminated the official coimection between the
library and the Board of Education, so valuable had ^Ir. Tillinghast
become to the Board, and so strong were the ties that bound him to
its members and its work, that every year he was re-elected clerk
and treasurer, and he gave his sei^ces gladly. How arduous were
those duties, and how indefiidgably he labored to pertbrm them,
his intimate associates alone know. At two diflerent times — notably
during nesrlv a year covering the last illness and after the death of
the late Frank A. Hill, secretary of the Board — [Mr. Tillinghast
performed the duties of secretarv" ; and imtd an illness in 1907 con-
fined him TO the house, he never missed a meeting of the Board.
"Wlien the Free Pubhc Library Commission was created in 1890,
]Mr. Tdlinghast was appointed its chaLnuan. and though this added
to his labors and his cares, he gave to the work the same conscien-
tious attention as to his other duties, so long as he lived. In the
service, particidarly, of the small town libraries, he was most help-
ful, and the development of the public library system of Massachti-
sett- is lar^'ely due to his wise and generous policy. For all these
1910] Caleb Benjamin TnUngha^t 5
services to tlie State he uever received a penny beyond liis modest
salary as State Librarian.
In these various pubhc stations, covering so many years, he made
hosts of friends of all ranks and classes. His intimate knowledge
of the legislation of the Commonwealth and of its public men. his
thorough acquaintance with history and with books, aided by a
phenomenal memory, made liim a mine of information ti-.jm which
he gave freely to all who sought his aid. Governors, State ofEcials.
members of Congress and of the Legislature, frequently went to him
for facts and for advice, which they often found most timely and
valuable, ilany a piece of bad legislation has been averial, many
a beneficent measure has been carried through, as the result of
"talking it over with Tillinghast." His knowledge of facts was
accurate ; his opinions, based on those facts and on common seuse,
were therefore worth the asking and the giving.
In his social relations iSIr. Tillinghast was frank, generous and
companionable. He delighted in the society of his friends, he was
imwearicd in advancing their interests, he rejoiced with them in
their happiness and was tenderly solicitous for them in their illnesses
and misfortunes. Though a man of few words, it was a pleasure
to be with him, especially on the long rides into the country, on the
electric cars, which gave him almost his only recreation during the
later years of his life. For " society " so-called he cared nothing —
indeed he had a distaste for it. He rarely could be induced to at-
tend a pubhc dinner or the hke, and he seldom visited the theatre.
For many years he had hardly ever taken a vacation, despite the
urging of his friends, and on the few occasions when he did go away
for a brief stay he was apt to cut short his. outing and hasten back
to his desk.
• He was pre-eminently the librarian. He loved the work, and he
was proud of his library ; justly so, for he had brought it up to rank
with the foremost, both in number of volumes and in the nature of
its contents. As a reference library, especially of the laws of all
the States and of all civilized countries on earth, it is the most com-
plete in this country, if, indeed, any in the world is its ec^ual. He
knew his books — knew what was in them and where to fi::'! it ;
he knew the needs of the men who used the library, and he made
his selections accordingly. In a most appreciative tribute to Mr.
Tillinghast soon after liis death, ^Ir. Warren F. Spalding, secretary
of the jNlassachusetts Prison Association, MTOte : " He knew more
things accurately than any other man I ever saw. If he could not
answer your question, he could tell you where to find the answer.
He was part of his library. He might have gone elsewhere, at a
much larger salary, to be the executive officer of a great library, to
direct subordinates, but from choice he stayed where he kne^r his
books and could make others acquainted with them. "When he took
the librarianship it was a place ; he made it a profession."
6 Caleb Benjamin TillmgliaH [Jan.
ZMany years ago Mr. Tillinghast began the compilation of a record
of the members of the Legislature from the adoption of the State
constitution, and this record, collected from all sources, but chiefly
by correspondence, he continued up to and including the General
Court of 1909. The work was done at his home, often continuing
until far into the night, and it involved the writing of more than
18,000 index cards — each a brief biography — and more than 75,000
letters, all in his own hand, at the expenditure of over $4000 in
postage. Tliis unique and priceless collection of succinct histories
of nearly every man who ever sat in the ^Massachusetts Legislanu-e
is in itself a monument to his th-eless industrj' and his love of bio-
gi-aphical research. It is to be hoped that it will be secured by the
Commonwealth for permanent presen-ation.
Of large fi-ame and strong constitution, iSIr. Tdlinghast was in-
different to fatigue and careless of his health. His friends found it
hard to make him admit that he was ill, or to induce him to rest,
even for a day. But those most intimate with him had noticed with
alarm during the past year or two that his physical condition was
becoming impaired. He was prostrated by a painful malady on
April 3, the day he completed his (3(.ith year, and was removed
to the JIassachusetts Homoeopathic Hospital on the following day.
Operations failed to overcome the disease, and he died early on the
morning of the 28th.
JNIr. Tillinghast was elected a member of the Xew England His-
toric Genealogical Society in June, 1882 ; served on the Committee
on Amendments to the By-Laws in 1893 ; on the Committee on
Papers and Essays for 1894-5 ; on the Committee on Publications
for 189G-7, and as its chairman from 1898 to 1909 ; as a memljer
of the Council m 1897-8-9; and as A'ice-President for Massachu-
setts from 1901 to his death. His interest in the Society was deep-
and warm ; his ser^dces valuable and his counsels salutary. He was
a member of the Colonial Society of Massachusetts and the American
Antiquarian Society ; coiTCsponding member of the "Worcester So-
ciety of Antiquity, the Chicago Historical Society, the "Weymouth
Historical Society ; member of the Boston Art Club, Boston City
Club, and Appalacliian Mountain Club.
Though not a college graduate, ^Ir. TUlinghast's sei-vices to the
cause of education and to literature were honored by Harvard Uni-
versity in 1897 by the degree of blaster of Arts, and by Tufts col-
lege in 1905 by the degree of Doctor of Literature.
'ilr. Tillinghast was married m Kdliugly, Connecticut. August
10, 1862, to^Ardclia ;Martin "Wood. Of this marriage, one son,
Linwood Morton TUlinghast, was born in Kdlingly July 4, 18i35.
On Juno 30, 1886, in Boston, he married for his second wite, Mrs.
Martha Ann (Lanej Wonson of Gloucester, who \vix\i his son
survives him.

By Chahles Collyer Whittier of Boston, Mass.
1. William' Urix, sometimes spelleil Uran. Uranu, Uren. Y_-an,
Touring and Yourin, was probably the ancestor of all Ijearing the mr^e in
New England. It has not been learned where he came from, but Lt was
at the Isles of Shoals as early as 16.53, for on 12 Sept. of that year h-r was
granted a lot of land there, •• between goodman .jacksone and WL^iam
Cotton with convenient la[nding?]." At various times later he was pven
grants of land. He was one of the petitioners " that a Court migL; be
held at the Isles of Shoals," also •• that the inliabitants might be gristed
the privileges of a town." Like most of the inhabitants of the islanif he
was a fisherman. He died at the Isles of Shoals, and the inventory o: his
estate, filed 11 July 16G4. amounted to £433. 12. 8.
His widow Eleanor married secondly, about 1672, Richard Wook-:'me
or Willcomb, who purchased part of the estate of William Urln, deceased,
17 July 1672. She died in 1699, and in her will, dated 19 Sept. l'''.)9,
she leaves the balance of her estate to her '• five chOdren, son-in-law John
Muchemore to take care of Joseph Touring to bring him up in the faiti of
God and to such Laming as is convenient for one of his degrees." EicLird
Grooss or Goss, her kinsman, was one of the overseers of the will.
Richard Woolcome and Eleanor had two children : Zacheus, and Anne
who married John Muchemore. In a petition of John Urin, son of Eleanor,
to have his brother-in-law John Muchemore administer upon his mother's
estate, he states that John 3Iuchemore's -nife '• was his sister on his moJa-
er's side." The will of John Muchemore, dated 11 Feb. 1717-8, mentions
wife Anne and children John, Richard, Joseph, WOliam, Sarah, Abig-iU
Priest, and Rachel Downs. WUliam Wilkins or Willcomb of Ipswich,
grandson of Richard Woolcome of Star Island, was appointed admiiiistra:or
of the estate 11 Aug. 1719.

2. John- Urin ( William^) was a cordwainer or tanner, and resided at
Greenland, N. H. He was at Portsmouth, N. H., in 1689, wh-ec
he signed a petition (Mass. Archives, vol. 35, p. 229). On 16 Mir.
1695-6 he received land in Portsmouth (eight acres) in confirmaiii
of a grant given his father. WUliam Urin, in 1653. In 1694 Lis
name appears as on the jury list, and he held various minor offices
in the town of Portsmouth from 1700 to 1709. His seat in the
meeting-house was in the men's side gaUery. He was received in".o
covenant in the South Church of Portsmouth 9 Jan. 1715, and LLs
children were baptized there the following September. He wis
one of the grantees of the town of Epsom, X. H., and his grani-
children sold their interest in his estate there in 1771.
He had two wives ; his first one, Abigail, was probably daught-rr
of John Westbrook of Portsmouth, who sold his son-in-law, JoLi

Edward^ Urin ( William^') had wife Jane. He purchased, 4 Mar.

a dwelling house, fish house, boatSs etc., at Star Island. On 6 Nov.
16G8, with his wife, he conveyed the same premises to James Blag-
don of the Isles of Shoals. He w;is taxed in Boston, Mass., as early
as 1674, and the same ye.or purchased of Daniel Henchman land at
the north end of the town. " bounded southwesterly with the street
leading to the north buryall place." On 2 June 1G75 he sold the
last mentioned estate to Christopher Saise of Charlestown, Mass.
He was part owner of the shallop Phillip, of which George
Manning was skipper. Unfortunately his vessel was one of the
several captui-ed by Capt- Samuel Moseley in his expedition of
1674 against the pirates, who were brought into the port of Boston
2 Apr. 1675. Urin's vessel was returned to him, it being shown
from his testimony (JIass. Archives) that he had taken no part in
piracy, and he was discharged. Five of the pirates were convicted
.and condemned to death, others were acquitted, while some were
pardoned to serve against the Indians.
Administration on his estate was granted to his widow 31 Oct.

While there is no direct evidence that he was the son of William

The records show that he spent the winter of 1726 at Concord. In
the division of land he drew lots Nos. 6, 8, and 42. He sold a por-
tion of these lots to John WaLQ^^Tight of Ipswich, Slass.. 7 Apr. 1731.
He was at Concord as late as 1742, when he marrie'I his second
wife, who was of Newbury, Mass., and it may have been this fact
that induced him to return to Newbury. With Sarah Urin, who m

ABEAM ENGLISH BROWX
By Rev. Georoe F. Piper of Dorchester, Mass.
Abram English Bro\vn was born in Bedford, Massachusetts,
January 21, 1849. His parents, Joseph and Rachel (Fitch)
Brown, like most of his ancestors for several generations, were hard-
working people, possessed of no large stock of this world's goods.
His mother was somewhat better educated than most women of her
time, and his paternal grandmother was a woman of more than
average intellect and character who exerted over him an important
influence, but there was apparently little either in his ancestry or
early environment conducive to the knowledge and culture he ac-
quired or the success he won. Before he was sixteen years of age
his school days came to an end, and he entered a store in the neigh-
boring town of Burlington. While he there had access to two
small libraries, one in the store and another in his employer's home,
and his frugal habits enabled him to have a thousand dollars in the
bank at the end of a little more than four years, although his wages
had at no time exceeded a dollar a day and board, these circumstances
by no means compensated for the loss of school attendance at this
susceptible period of his life. When he was twenty the death of an
older brother made it needful that he should leave the store and
drive a meat cart in the service of his father, an occupation in which
he continued for a considerable time. School-keeping and store-
keeping were afterwards his occupations for brief periods, but in a
few years he became chiefly engaged in town aflPairs, antiquarian re-
searches, and literary work. On October 11, 1877, he married Miss
Sarah J. Flint of Shrewsbury, thereby gaining for the rest of his life
a highly congenial and helpftd companion. Bedford remained his
home until his death, which occurred February 20, 1909.
Mr. Brown was a most faithful and efiicient citizen, proud of his
native town and an earnest defender of its reputation and promoter
of its welfare. A few months after he entered the Burlington store
an item appeared in the Lowell Weekly Journal to the effect that
the town of Bedford had neither minister, doctor, nor lawyer, that
its schools were aU taught by women, and that it was a one-horse
town at the best. His anger was kindled by this scandalous state-
ment, and Ke appealed to one and another of the citizens of Bedford
to refute it, but without success. Finally, on hearing the intima-
tion that he had better refute it himself, he did it so effectively in
a communication to the offending newspaper that its publisher re-
cognized in him the correspondent for Bedford he was looking for
and offered him the position. This he accepted, and held for many
years ; and until the last years of his life there was scarcely an oc-
currence of any importance in the town that was not reported by his
■r^

ever ready pen in some 01' the many newspapers for which he was at
one time or another the correspondent. He loved Betlford dcarlv,
and wa.* always eager to convey to those not so fortunate as to live
within its limits, as well as its inhabitants, the impression that it was
no " one-horse to^vn."
^ At the age of twenty-three he was elected clerk of the Trinitarian
Congregational Society, an office which, with the exception of one
year, he held until his death. He was a member of the church con-
necte<J with this society, for many years an interested worker in the
Sunday-school, and at the celebration of its seventieth anniversai-v.
in If ■■>?!, delivered an elaU.rate address, which subsequentlv was jiulv
liihed. He showed his devotion to the town by his devotion to one
of its churches. At the same age he was also elected a member
of the school committee, an office to which he was re-elected for fif-
teen successive years ; and to him, more than to anyone beside, it is
due that dming these years the introduction of a oraded svstem of
study, the consoHdation of all the schools at the centre of the town, the
conveyance to school of pupils living at a distance from the centre,
and the opening of a high school — then an important stejD — took place'.
He was representative two yeare in the General Court for the
Seventeenth Middlesex District, collector of taxes seven vears, and
town clerk for nine years, in each of these capacities proving him-
self a faithful public servant. He was an interested member"of the
Bedford Social Library, and when in place of it the Bedford Free
Public Library Coqioration was organized, m 1886, was elected its
clerk, and served in that capacity to the end of his life. He was
secretary of the Bedford Historical Society and its most enthusiastic
member, an active and etHcient member 'of the Village Improve-
ment Society, and of the Law and Order League durmg the exis-
tence of these institutions in the town. He was especiaUv efficient in
preparing for and carrying out the observance of Patriots' Day and
Soldiers' Memorial Day. He was the superintendent and one of the
comminee of the Shawsheen Cemetery, and by his watchfid care,
persevering effiarts, and gcn^d taste did more than any other person to
make ii one of the most attractive burial places to be found in a
country lovnx. It was cliiedy through his efibrts that a highly ap-
propriate gateway to it w:is erected, and it is not improbable that
had he lived longer his influence woidd have secured the erection of
a mortuary chapel.
But valuable as were the services he rendered in tliese capacities,
he perf.;.rmed a service of no less value in his " History of Betlford,''
which extends from its earhest settlement to the year 1891. This
CiU-efully prepared work treats of the organization of the to^^•n, its
troubles with the Indians, its churches and schools, the part it took
in the Revolutionary and Ci^il wars, its cemeteries, its industries,
Its fire department, its town officers, its distinguished men in
short, of even-tiling in tlie histoiy of the town d'owu t.;. the time
46 Abram English Brown [Jan.
the volume was published. To it there is appended a genealog-
ical and biogi-aphical account of the families of Bedford from its
first settlement, as accurate and complete as diligent inquiry and
pains-taking research enabled its author to make it. To this- highly
valuable work, which only witli difficulty was made to jjay the cost
of publication, he gave much time which he could ill afford .to spare
from bread- winning pursuits. Seldom does a town have a more
useful and devoted citizen, one more eager to promote by his
time, labor and thought, its material, intellectual, social, and moral
welfare. ]Many are interested in only one or, at the most, a few of
the public needs, but here was a man who was interested in all —
churches, schools, libraries, roads, side-walks, shade trees, to^vn
records, vital statistics, anniversaries, bm'ial grounds, things per-
taining to the past and to the present, things secular and things
sacred.
INIr. Brown was an enthusiastic patriot, and his patriotism mani-
fested itself in untiring efforts to have suitable memorials erected to
the heroes of the American Revolution. He was instrumental in hav-
ing a stone with the following unique inscription in bronze set up in
that part of the Old Burial Ground in Bedford reserved for mem-
bers of the African race : " Cambridge Moore, Ctesar Prescott,
Cffisar Jones, Xegro slaves, Soldiers of the Revolution, 1775-1783."
It was largely through his exertions that a boulder was placed in
Willson Park in Bedford Village, having on it the words : " Rallying
place of militia and minute men on April 19, 1775, before their
march to Concord, where seventy-seven Bedford men were in the
fight of that day, when their Captain, Jonathan Willson, was killed
and Job Lane was wounded." He took particular pride in the old
Colonial flag carried by the men of Bedford on that eventful day.
Those who drilled in their respective towns that they might be better
prepared to meet the foe were too much concerned about weightier
matters to provide flags for their companies. But in the home of
Nathaniel Page, Jr., in Bedford was an elegant and elaborate one
of unknown age and origin which he bore in the company of that
town to the Old Xorth Bridge in Concord on the day of the bloody
conflict there. It was then returned to the Page home where it re-
mained until the centennial celebration on the 19th of April 1875,
when it was again taken to Concord, carried in the procession by
Abram English Brown, one of the Bedford delegation, unfurled
again at the Old Xorth Bridge, and returned again to the Page
home, where it remained until the 19th of October, 1885, when it
was presentetl to the town of Bedford by Capt. Cyrus Page, grand-
son of the Nathaniel Page who bore it in the Concord fight. It
is now in the custody of the Bedford Free Public Library Corpora-
tion and secm-e fi-om accident and evil design in a fire-proof safe.
To Mr. Brown's patriotic solicitude the present custody and safety
of this precious relic are in no small measure due, as also the celeb-
rity it has acquired.

His patriotism is seen in " Beneath Old Roof-trees " and " Be-
side Old Hearth-stones," in which he vividly portrays the valor and
sufferings of the liberty-loving men of twenty Middlesex towns, and
several beyond the limits of 5liddlesex, in the first years of armed
resistance to British oppression. In the preparation of these vol-
umes a great number of old Colonial houses were visited, the tales of
Revolutionary patriots that had come do\vn to then- descendants were
heard, the graves that contaiuetl their sacred dust were searched out,
and the inscriptions on their monuments copied. Every school boy
knows of Paul Revcre"s ride, and of the bloody encounters at Lex-
ington, Concord, and Bunker Hill, but many well-informed men
and women living in the -very region in which the vahant deeds of
1775 were done are ignorant of the impressive details which these
volumes give. The one himdred and forty-five illustrations which
adorn them throw light on that time which tried men's souls, and the
fifty-seven graphic chapters they contain may be read, even by the
most learned, with interest and profit.
Another of his works, "John Hancock, bis Book," while com-
piled largely from Hancock's letter-book, and not claiming to l>e a
complete biography, presents to no small extent the public as well
as business and social life of that distinguished patriot. The reader
of it sees Boston as it was in the last half of the eighteenth century,
the extensive trade and social eminence of the Hancocks, the first
resistance to British tyranny, the outbreak of war, the declaration
of independence, the stubborn conflict to gain it, its final achievement,
and the conspicuous part John Hancock took in the decisive events of
that stormy time.
Patriotism is often conceived to be chiefly concerned with war.
It is thought by many that the best patriot is the one most ready to
fight for his country right or wrong, or most valiant on the battle
field. No idea could be more erroneous, and it is gratifying to find
that the subject of this sketch, although his volumes are largely
devoted to accounts of militant lives and deeds, regarded patriotism
as a ver}^ inclusive virtue. In the opening chapter of " Beneath Old
Roof-trees " he says : "Good citizenship is patriotism in action. It
is not necessary that one should face the bullets of the enemy on the
field of battle in order to evince true patriotism. He who loves his
home, his native to"wn, and his countiy, and is ready to make sacri-
fices for their honor and welt\vre, is the good citizen. In him the
germ of patriotism is well developed." These words express the
idea that good citizt^nship, however manifested, is true patriotism.
But that idea was better expressed in the life of him wiio penned
them ; for, as already shown, it was a life habiraally devoted to the
public good.
Mr. Brown was a zealous antiquarian as well as good citizen and
enthusiastic patriot, and as the citizen and the j'atriot were Ijlended
in him to a remarkable degree, so were the patriot and the auti-
48 Abmm English Brown [Jan.
quariau. He had uo great interest in the antiquities of Greece and
Kome, but very great interest in the antiquities of Massachusetts,
and especially in that part of Massachusetts in which the Revolution
began, and in the time in which it occurred. He was interested in
all old burial places, but in those that contained the ashes of Kevo-
lutionary heroes he was as deeply interested as Champollion was in
the monuments of Egypt, or Layard in the ruins of Xineveh and
Babylon. He was interested in old houses, and described -vnth
ardent love the old Barrett house in Concord, the old Fitch house
in Bedford, the old AVard house in Shrewsbury, the old Pao-e house
in Danvers, the old Warner honse in Portsmouth, and many others.
Every part of an old house had its attractions for him, but chiefly
the old garrer, and if in the old garret he found an old chest in
■which was an old document that threw light on the life of a soldier
of 1775, his joy was unbounded. He took delight in old, clocks
which had ticked in Revolutionary days. Old meeting-houses in
Boston, Hingham, Xewburyport, Salisbury, Sandown and other
places he reverently visited and described. Old ministers who had
served a single parish fifty years or more, like Rev. Edmund Dowse
of Sherborn, Rev. Edward T. Blodgett of Greenwich, and Rev.
Charles Babbidge of Pepperell, were honored by him with faithful
sketches of their lives and parishes. Nonogenarians and centena-
rians, no matter how humble their stations, and though they lived a
hundred miles away, were almost sure to have their long earthly
careers fully set forth in a daily newspaper. It is easy to imagine
that his sleep was sweet and his dreams pleasant the night after a
etone was set up in the Shawsheen Cemetery in memory of a worthy
public servant who died in 1742, and whose grave is imknown :
Samuel Fitch, the first town clerk and one of the first selectmen of
Bedford.
Mr. Bro^vn's best book from a literary point of view, the widest
in its scope and perhaps the most readable and instructive, is " Fan-
euil Hall and FaneuQ flail ^Market." It was published in 1901, and
shows a marketl improvement in conception and style over " Legends
of Old Bedford,"' published ten years before — a fact much to the
credit of a man well along in middle life. Beginning -idth a brief
but lucid account of the persecution of the Huguenots in France in
the last half of the seventeenth century, it follows a company of
them to Xew England where they first settled in O.xford, Mass., and
after a few years, in Boston. The later arrival from France of the
Faneuil family, and the extensive and successful commercial business
of Andrew Faneuil, his spacious mansion and beautiful garden of
seven acres on Trcmont Street, opposite King's Chapel burial ground,
are adequately portrayed. The life of Peter Faneuil, nephew of
Andrew, heii- to his estate and his successor in busmess, is dwelt on
at length. His magnificent gift to the town of Boston of a much-
needed market with a commodious hall above it, first occupied in

174i', the destruction of the building by fire in 1761, the rebuilding
of it in the two folio wing rears, the great enlargement of ir in l-'!'0o,
on plans submitted hy that famous architect, Chrades Buliincb. and
the great expenditure upon it of money and skill in 180S to render
it fire proof, are described in a way which leaves notliing more of
importance to be said. The extensive annex opened in 182G, fre-
quently called the Quincy market, is noticed at length, and so are
the rules by which the niarketmen are governed, and the extent of
the business whicli has been done by them at different periods. An
account of the important meetings held in Faneuil Hall in the cours<;
of its lonsr existence is given. The privileges in the building ac-
corded to the Ancient and Honorable ArtiUciy are mentioned,
and a succinct history of tliat company, nearly as old as Boston
itself, is related. In short, it may be said that starting with an
accotmt of a bloody religious persecution in France, more than two
hundred years ago, and ending with an account of the cold storage
of meat and produce in the year 1900 — an anti-climax which the
author could not well avoid — it ranges through a wide and highly
interesting variety of subjects.
Betrreen the years I6i*2 and 1903, Mr. Brown contributed a good
ntmiber of excellent articles to the i\^w Enghnid Magazine.
Amon^ these may be mentioned "Governor Winthrop's Farm,"* a
tract of land which included a large part of what is now the town of
Bedford : " Oliver Ilolden, Composer of Coronation," which por-
trays in an attractive manner the life of a prominent musician and
influeniial citizen of Charlestown in the early part of the nineteenth
century ; '' The Ups and Downs of Christmas in Xew England," in
which the views entertained here at different times in regani to this
Christian festival are related in an edifying way ; and " Beacon HUl,"
which gives a full account of the changes that famous eminence has
undergone and the sightly objects which have rested upon it from
the time a beacon was first placed there, in 1634, to that when the
enlargement and renewal of the State House was completed in 1898.
He gave a great amount of study to the existence of slavery in Xew
England for two centuries from the first settlement here by white
men, diligently searching old newspapers for advertisements of ftigi-
tive slaves and slaves for s;de, and old records for evidence that they
were owned here in Colcnid days by most men of wealth aii'l kept
in most iau;ilies by the bener class. He loved poetry and wrote
pleasing verses, yet had a more decided talent for de;ding with ma-
terial atiairs. His articles on " The History of Xew England Man-
ufactures."-which appeared a few years ago in the Bo-fon DaiJy
Globe, anbrd evidence of a thorough study of the immense develop-
ment of more than a dozen prominent industries in this section of the
coimtiy ^ince the beginning of the eighteenth cenniry. In these
articles vre nnd carefully prepared accounts of the remarkable pri>-
gress miie in the manufactm-e of hats, clocks, paper, gla.-s. ropes,
bricks, n^atc'ues, nail?, stoves, caniages, buttons, gloves. b.::i and

shoes, and cotton, woolen, and rubber goods. ^ATij these interest-
ing and instructive articles were not collected into a volume it is
difficult for one not well versed in the ways of authors and the
motives of publishers to understand.
There are those who by the diligent use of their powers and oppor-
tunities do much for themselves. They become rich, learned, or re-
nowned, and have the satisfaction which comes from rising in the
world and gaining the admiration of many of then- fellow men.
There are also those who by the diligent use of their powers and
opportunities do much for others. They greatly help the Church,
the State, or some worthy cause which their sense of duty or natural
inclinations prompt them to labor for with untiring zeal. Abram
English Brown not only did much for himself but much for others ;
starting with a good memory, laudable ambition, unwearying energy,
and an industry wiiich made the most of the passing hours, he acquired
a large stock of knowledge, a good measure of literary taste, and a
reputation as an author and a man which many having greater oppor-
tunities in early life fail to gain. What he did for others by his
writings, public services, and personal kindnesses, though not easily
estimated, certainly was much. IMiile he was yet in his early teens
a distant relative offered to take this promising boy and give him a
liberal education, but the headaches to which he was then subject, and
the reluctance of his father to have him leave home, prevented the ac-
ceptance of this generous offer. In after life j\Ir. BrowTi regretted
that this offer was declined by his parents, and imagined that he
would have accomplished far more if the advantages of a liberal
education had been his. Undoubtedly liis early life would have been
more congenial to him, his outlook larger, his vision of the vast
realm of knowledge clearer, had he gone through college and, after
further preparation, entered one of the learned professions. He
probably would have become a more prominent man, and perhaps
would have accomplished more for himself and more for the world
had this course been pursued. But it is by no means sure. By
living a long wTiile on another's beneficence he might have missed
that sense of independence, constant ambition, and strength of char-
acter which are gained by surmounting obstacles in one's early years ;
and it is certain that had he been a hard working professional man,
anxious to make his profession the most helpful to himself and to
those he \^-as called to serve, he would have been unable to write a
creditable town history, to trace with watchful care the " footprints
of patriots," to pursue antiquarian researches with ardent zeal, and
to attend to the multitude of widely different details which absorbed
so much of his time and which have given and continue to give so
much pleasure and help to many souls. It is sm-e that he accom-
plished much for himself and for many beside. It is not sure that
with a thorough education in early life, at no pecuniaiy cost to him-
self, he would- have accomplished more.

John Rogers. At the time of his marriage Rogers was rector of

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF LISTS OF NEW ENGLAND
SOLDIERS*
By Mart Ellen Bakeh, B.A.
This bibliography of lists of New England eoldiers who have
served in the regular and volunteer armies and navies of the United
States, whether colonial or constitutional, is preceded by a biblio-
graphy of lists not confined to any one group of states.
General lists are arranged under " United States " or the indi-
ridual state by wars, while definitely local matter is arranged under
its state in one alphabet of county and town.
This bibliography is limited to printed books and pamphlets cata-
logued in the New York state library and, with one e.xception, to
the English language, this exception being a list of French soldiers
who served during the Revolution, first published in France but later
issued as a U. S. document.
Almanacs have been omitted, so also directories and gazetteers,
except such as in this library have been classified with local history.
Year books and proceedings or reports of patriotic societies have
been omitted, since they offer little new material in their annual lists
of officers and members, but all special publications have been ex-
amined carefully.
A few periodicals known to contain lists have been noted, but no
attempt haa been made to collect all such titles or to analyze them.

As a rule records containing other than items of military history
have been held to be in the class of collective biography and hence
are omitted.
Wherever possible the exact paging of the list quoted has been
given, but frequently the inclusive paging means that various short
lists are contained therein.

DR. COIkirORT STAER, AND CRANBROOK, KENT
By HosEA Stark Ballou of Brookline, Mass.
In Dr. Comfort Starr's will, proved at Boston 2 February 1659, ho
disposes of certain real estate " at Eshitisford in Kent in Old England."
Eshitisford is, of course, the modem Ashford, where Dr. Starr was a
physician and surgeon prior to his embarkation for New England, with
"Three children and Three servants " in March 1634-5.
Since the late Burgis Pratt Starr published his history of the Starr
Family thirty years ago, research has disclosed certain important facts
which were unknown to him. Among them are the ages of certain of Dr.
Comfort Starr's children. We have learned that Dr. Thomas Starr waa
baptized at St. Mary's Church, Ashford, on 31 December 1615; so that
he was only twenty-one years old when he was appointed " chirurgeon " in
Stonghton's expedition against the Pequots, 17 May 1637. His sister
Mary, who in 1640 married John Maynard, was baptized 16 April 1620.
His brother John Starr was baptized 15 October 1626, so that he was a
mere child of eight years when Dr. Comfort Starr bought William Peyn-
tree's* homestead, between the Rev. Thomas Hooker's and James 01m-
stead'g, at Newtown (Cambridge) in 1635.
Since 1879 the significant record has been found at Ashford that one
Moregift Starr " of Cranebrooke " was buried at Ashford in 1617. The
manuscript notes of Mr. Somerby seemeii to prove that the clue was well
taken, and the present Vicar of St. Dunstan's Church at Cranbrook, Kent,
Dean Bell, verified Somerby's assertion that Comfort Starr was baptized
there on 6 July 1589. In the record hi? father's name is not given, but
from other sources we have discovered that it was Thomas Starr. In the
records of Oxford University, 1571-1622 (vol. 20, p. 2), appears one
Thomas Starr at Oriel College in 1 605, also a Samuel Starr ( Dr. Comfort
named a son Samuel) in 1602, but whether they were near relatives is not
known. They were apparently from Dorset.
• At William Pevntree's death in Connecticut he left a lar^e estate, inventoried
29 Nov. 1649, at £1001 : 10; 00, to his widow Margaret, his sou Jbhn, and his daughter
Jlarr, wife of Richard Brvan of Milford, Conn.
74 Dr. Comfort Starr, and Cranbrook, Kent [Jan.
Ancient Cranbrook was a town of considerable importance when Dr.
Comfort Starr was bajnized there in 1-589. There Edward the Third in-
troduced from Flanders the manufacture of broad cloths, which were long
famous for their durability and fast colors. Situated in the scxalled Weald
of Kent, it is some forty-eight miles from London, thirty-nine from Canter-
bnry, and twenty-four from Hastings. !Nearby was the country home of
Sir" Thomas Bole^-n, Earl of Wiltshire, the father of the ill-fated Anne
Boleyn, whose daughter. Queen Elizabeth, in 1574 laid at Cranbrook the
corner-stone of a school (which still exists), fifteen years before Comfort
Starr's birth, and in which, no doubt, in the langu.ige of his will, he was
first " mstrncted in ye Tovngs, Artes and .S<:iences." But the centre of in-
terest in Cranbrook Ls St. Dunstan's Church, which antedates 1550. It
comprises a nave, side aisles, and chancel, with a square embattled tower
at the west end of the church. A range of slender piers and wide arches
give the building a light and airy appearance. The church is in an escel-
lent state of preservation, and in regular use.
The vicar of St. Dunstan's in 1589 was Robert Roades, a former president
of St. John's College, Cambridge, and his assistant curate wa* a University
of Cambridge man, the Rev. William Eddye, the ancestor of the most
generous of all the benefactors of the New England Historic Genealogical
Society thus far, the late Robert Henry Eddy of Boston, who by his will
(under which this Society received, between 9 February 1901 and 26
September 1906, the sum of $56,788*) gave £1000 for three memorial
windows and a tablet, which were erected in Cranbrook Church in 1902.t
Near the Eddy memorial, on the south wall of the church, the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, in the presence of a distinguished company, and with
imposing ceremonies, dedicated, 15 July 1909, a memorial to Dr. Comfort
Starr. It is in the style of the Fletcher and Roberts family memorials,
which were erected about the time of his birth. The tablet bears the fol-
lowing inscription :

i Dr. Comfort Starr and his wife, Elizabeth, were buried in King's Caapel bnrial
ground, Boston, and there a memorial stone, of antique design, wis dedicated

as one who ha.s given the best of himself for the advancement of his fellows; and
tnereas, — We remember with a sense of thankfulness his unassuming kindliness
of manner, the sincerin- of his friendships, and that sense of responsibility which led
him to perform all the duties of life with the strictest personal care; and

WiTHERSPOON, Knox.— In the " Witherspoon Memorial " and many other pnb-
lications there has appeared during the last hundred years the statement that
John Witherspoon, D. D., the " Signer", was a descendant of John Knox, the
celebrated Scotch Reformer of the sixteenth century. That statement appears
to rest entirely upon family tradition. In "A Vindication of the Discipline and
Constitutions of the Church of Scotland," Rev. Thomas Walker, minUter of
Dundonald, Ayrshire, Scotland, and a brother to the mother of John Wither-
spoon, incidentally stated, on p. 379. that he was " one of the descendants " of
John Knox. This statement was published in 1774, orer two hundred years
after the death of the great Reformer. Between 1572 and 1774 six generations
1910] Notes 81
lived, and at least three of those died before Rev. Thomas Walker published his
statemeut of desceut.
Briefly stated, the Reformer had a daughter Elizabeth Knox wlio married in
1594 Rev. John Welsh, a graduate of the University of Edinburgh in 1588, who
■was minister at Selkirk. Kirkcudbright, and Ayr, in Scotland, and who was
exUed to Joosac and St. Jean d'Angely in France from UiOC to 1622. Their
daughter Louise (Luyse) Welsh was b. at Jonsac, France, May 13, 1613.
After the death of Rev. John Welsh his widow returned to Ayr in Scotland,
and made her will Jan. 8. 1625, mentioning In it her daughter Louise. In Notes
and Queries, Sth ser.. vol. 7, p. 202, it is stated that Louise Welsh was living
with her only surviving brother. Rev. Josias Welsh, at Templepatrick, Co. An-
trim, Ireland, in 1632. "
All trace of her from this time onward appears to be a matter of conjecture.
Rogers, in his "Genealogical Memoirs of John Knox," pp. 147, 152, stated that
Louise Welsh probably married. No evidence has been found that such was the
case. He then stated that she probably lived in Fifeshire. There is no docu-
mentary evidence of such fact. He next says that she probably had a daughter.
The evidence of such a fact is wanting.
When the Rev. John Welsh, son of the Rev. Josias Welsh of Templepatrick,
was making a preaching tour through Fifeshire in 1674, one John Blackader
wrote in his MS. Memoirs that he was "acquamted with a young gentlewoman
In Fife, a consin of Mr. Welsh, and that she is an enthusiastic admirer of Mr.
Welsh's preaching." At this time she " visited the parish of Kilconquhar, some
distance from her home, to hear Mr. Welsh." If we knew that John Welsh had
only one cousin and that that cousin was the daughter of Louise Welsh, his
father's sister, we should have a basis for the assumptions which follow. But
we have to assume further that the assumed daughter of Louise Welsh maiTied
a certain David Walker who was bapt. at I.ieslie in Fifeshire, I'eb. 7, 1630, and
that this " gentlewoman" "or her sister" became the mother of Rev. Thomas
Walker and of his brother the Rev. David Walker, the latter of whom is reputed
to have been the grandfather of John Witherspoon. Summarizing from a study
of all the ac^res-sible data this Knox descent rest on the assumptions :
(1) that Ix>nise Welsh married ; (2) that she lived in Fifeshire ; (3) that she
had a daughter : (4) that that daughter married one David Walker of Leslie;
(5) that the la;--t-named woman had a son David Walker; (6) that her asstuned
son David Walker was the Rev. David Walker, whose brother Rev. Thomas
Walker claimed to be a descendant of John Knox. Therefore, the alleged Knox
descent of Rev. John Witherspoon rests upon six successive suppositions, no
one of which has any documentary evidence nor original record to support it.
It is traditional and extending over a period of two hundred years.

BARNAnD, TiiroTT, Wadsworth.— On page 322 of the 1846 edition of Hin-
man's " Puritan Settlers of Connecticut " appears this statement : " Wads-
worth, Capt. Joseph, of Hartford, son of Hon. William, sen'r., was bom in
1650. He m. for his first wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Bartholomew Barnard,
of Hartford ; for his second wife he m. Mary, the widow of John Olcott. She
had been the widow of Thomas WeUes, a grandson of Governor Welles. Her
maiden name was Mary Blackleach. daughter of John, jr. His wife Elizabeth,
d. Oct. 26, 1710. His second wife Mary survived him. His children were all
by his first wife."
The " Talcott Pedigree in England and America," compiled by S. V. Talcott,
of Albany, was printed in 1876. On pages 35 and 36 of this work is a notice of
Elizabeth, daughter of L;eut.-Col. Jolm Talcott of Hartford, and wife of Joseph
Wadsworth. Ic this notice the statement is made regarding Wadsworth : " He
married for his first wife Elizabeth, daughter of Bartholomew Barnard, who
died Oct. 26, 1710. for his second. Elizabeth Talcott, and for his third Mary
Blackleach. widow first of Thomas Wells, and second of John Olcott. His
children were all by his first wife."
In the "Memorial History of Hartford County, Connecticut," printed in 1886,
is a chapter on the -Original Proprietors " of Hartford, "based on materials
collected by J. Hammond" Trumbull.". On page 265 of the first volume it is
stated regardinz Joseph Wadsworth, seventh child of William: "Joseph, b.
ab. 1647; this was Capt. Joseph, the hero of the Charter, a man of prominence,
and some turbuLecce of character: freeman, 1676; Lieut, in Pliilip's War, and
afterward Capt. of the Hartford trainband. He m. Elizabeth dau. of Bartholo-
82 N'otes [Jan.
mew Barnard, of Hartford; she d. Oct. 2G. 1710, having been the mother of all
his children; he m. (2) Elizabeth, dau. of Lt.-Col. John Talcott. and (3) Mary,
dflu. of John Blackleach of Wethersfield. who had been widow of Thomas
Welles and John Olcott."
Was Joseph Wadsworth married more than twice and did he marry a daughter
of Bartholomew Barnard ?
Bartholomew Barnard made his will March 9, 1691, and in it bequeathed to
his " daughters Eliza. Wadsworth, Sarah Steel and Mary Bunce." This wUl was
presented to the Hartford County Court in April 1698, and is recorded in Tolume 6,
reverse end, page 7s of the court records. Filed witli the will, hut not recorded,
is the following affidavit :
" Thomas olcott Aged 28 years or ther Aboute testitieth as foloweth that in
the time of my father Barnards last sicknes that I se Elizibeth wodsworth the
wiffe Thomas wodworth goe to his bed side and I heard hir say to him I haue
heard something of Tour will and I under stand its Lik to go eery hard with
John for ther is A grat many Dets for him to pay and I hear you haue giuen the
cattell and the things to the girlls : And then my father Barnard Answered and
said I thought of it before yon spoke and it troubles me I wold haue my will
taken and that pertickler alltred and I will haue my Dets payed and then the
Best tak it Amoungst you* and further I heard Elizabeth wodsworth speaking

lie npone : Elizabeth wodsworth Aged forty six years or ther aboute testifiet to
the Aboue writen
Swome in Court ApriU the IS"". 1698
Attest Wm Whiting Cler"
The records of the Hartford County Court, volume 3, page 166, show that
Thomas Wadsworth and his wife Elizabeth were married before December 6,
1677.
One of the appraisers of Barnard's estate was Joseph Wadsworth. It is sus-
pected from this fact Hinman inferred that he was the one whom Barnard's
daughter Elizabeth had married. A son-in-law would hardly have been appointed
an appraiser, not being a disinterested party.
Document 47 in volume i of " Private Controversies " in the Connecticut
State Library reads as follows :
"May \5^ 1691: To the Hon« Gen" Assembly now siting in Hartford The
hranble petition of Jos : Tallcottof Hartford in ther Maj" Colony of Conectient

ther could be no legall desposall made, therof. upon which aplycation, his Ex-
cellency granted y« same unto my Hon"" Unci Sam" Tallcott of wethersfeeld &
Lift Jos Wardsworth of Hartford." The rest of the document relates to Tal-
cotts claim to the whole of his father's real estate under the English law.
The records of baptisms of the First or Centre Church of Hartford, which
begin in 1685, show that Joseph Wadsworth had a son Jonathan baptized Feb. iO,
1686-7. Capt. Joseph Wadsworth made his will July 6, 1723, which was pro-
bated March 2, 1730-1. By this will he gave to his son Joseph, besides other
property, " The 4 acres of Laud at Brother Talcott's upper lot which 1 have by
agreement with Brother Talcott." * He also gave property to his son Ichabod.
(Hartford Probate Records, vol. 11, reverse end, page 16G.) -:,
The records of burials in Hartford in possession of the Connecticpt Historical
Societv show that Ichabod Wadsworth, aged 90, was buried May .5, 47^8, and
that Joseph Wadsworth, aged 96, was buried August 25 of the eamey^?,4nak-
ing them born about 1682 and 16>!8.
On page 33 of the reverse end of the first volume of Land r*c»r4«-of the
Town of Hartford, being the " Book of Distributions," is this entry : " Mrs.
Elizabeth Wadsworth wife of Capt Jos Wadsworth dyed Octo 2K, 1710." In
his wUl before referred to Joseph Wadsworth says that " having given a jointure
in full satisfaction to my wife Mary, I proceed to bequeath my estate to my
children."

Jfotes
From the foregoing it will be seen that Elizabeth, danghter of Bartholomew
Barnard, evidently became the wife of Thomas Wadsworth before December 6,
1677, and was still his wife in April 1C98 : that Jusi>ph Wadsworth was married
in lt>S2 or earlier, tliat in May 1691 he was a brother-in-law of Joseph Talcott,
and that his wife Elizabeth, evidently Talcott's sister and the mother of his
children, died in October 1710. Thus, for at least sixteen years from 1682 to
1G98, both Thomas Wadsworth and Joseph Wadsworth were living in Hartford,
each of them with a wife Elizabeth. The wife of the former being the daugh-
ter of Bartholomew Barnard, and the wife of the latter being the daughter of
Lieut. -Col. John Talcott.
There is no evidence that Joseph Wadsworth was married more than twice,
first, before 1GS3, to Elizabeth Talcott, who was the mother of his children and
who died October 26, 1710; and secondly, between April 1712 and May 6, 1722,
to Widow Mary Olcott. Frank F.4RNSW0RTH Stakr.

Grjkt, Webb, Warxt-r, Hoiaiks.— Seth Grant (Zeth Graunt) emigrated to
New England in June 1632. Among his fellow passengers were William Wads-
worth, John Talcott, William Goodwin, and John White.* The following year
all but Grant had become resident of Newtown, later called Cambridge, Mass.
If Grant did not remove to Newtown when his feUow passengers did, he cer-
tainly was there in 1634. t
Among the residents of the town was also Richard Webb.
Grant and Webb were among the persons who, in 1636, went through the
wUdemess and made a settlement on the Connecticut River which they called.
Newtown and, in February 1636-7, Hartford. On page 359 of the first volume of'
the Hartford Land Records, which is known as the " Book of Distributions,"
is a record of the lands of Seth Grant under the date of February 1639.
Thus far no record has been discovered of his marriage or the births of any
children, nor is there any record of his death. An inventory of his estate, dated
" March the i"' 1646," Is printed on pages 4S1 and 482 of the first volume of the
" Colonial Records of Coi^ecticut," but the records do not show any action on
the estate.
On pages 313 and 507 of the " Book of Distributions " reference is made to
" Seth Grant's children." On page 25 of Vital Records, in volume 1 of Land
Records of the Town of Middletown, is entered the marriage, in February 1654,
of Robert Warner and Elizabeth Grant, and the births of their children, the
second of whom was named Seth, and the youngest Mehetable. March 31, 1687,
Robert Warner sold 42 acres of land on the east side of the Connecticut River
in Hartford which had been laid out to Seth Grant, and March 1, 1702-3, Robert's
son Seth sold land in the same town which had been recorded to Seth Grant'.J
These facts go to show that Warner's wife was a daughter of Seth Grant.
June 19, 1650, Nathaniel Ely and Richard Olmsted, of Hartford, for them-
selves and others of that town, one of whom was Richard Webb, entered into
an agreement " for the settlinge and plantinge of Norwaike." §
An inventory of the estate of Richard Webb, who " deceased July last," was
taken October 5, 1665, and was presented to the court at Fairfield, November 1
following, by the widow, who was appointed administrator. |1 " Elissabeth webb
widowe the relliquc of Ridiard webb formerly of norwaike deceased the twentie
fowre of January 1680." % The Fairfield Probate Records show that in March
1681 several persons appeared in court and made claim to the estates of both
Webb and his wife. Part of the entry read thus :
" Alsoe Richard Holmes Impleads right to a portion out of the estate of the
said Elizabeth by verlu of his wiues realation to her." *• The court decreed that
" Richard Holmes is to haue Twenty pound part of it in the bed and its furni-
ture as it was prized on the Inuentory which is eight pounds the rest of the

Richard Holmes of Xomalk. " aged 60 years and upwards," made his will Octo-
ber 31, 1704, in which he gave to his wife Sarah the life use of all his real estate
" and at her death to her near kinswoman Mehetable Warner now liring with
me."t
The inventory of the estate of Sarah Holmes, widow of Richard, is among
the flies of the Fairfleld Probate court. On the document is an indorsement
which shows that Mehetable Warner, "now surviring," was nearly related to
said Sarah Holmes '-and loas her owne sisters child", and that soon after the
death of the child's mother " this sarah holmes the childs own aunt leent tip to
Middletown and brought this child home to her husband." The court decreed
that " Sundry children of Robert Warner dec'd of Middletown are the next of
kin in equal degree to said Sarah," and ordered the estate divided among them
equally.
The foregoing proves beyond question that Seth Grant had at least two child-
ren : Elizabeth wife of Robert Warner of Middletown, and Sarah wife of Richard
Holmes of Norwalk.
The settlement of the estate of Webb and his wife shows that they had in their
possession property which had belonged to the father of Sarah Holmes (Seth
Grant) , and that Holmes claimed part of the estate of Elizabeth Webb "■ by vertu
of his wiues realation to her." The inference is that Elizabeth, wife of Richard
Webb, was the widow of Seth Grant and, at least, step-mother to Sarah Grant,
wife of Richard Holmes of Norwalk. Fraxk Fabsswobth Stabk.

Damaris, dangliter of Matthew Craddock by his first wife, Damaris ,
was baptized at St. Swithin's, Canongate, London, 1 Nov. 1623. On the death
of Thomas Andrews, the leatherseller, she married Rev. Ralph Cudworth, brother
of James Cudworth of Scitnate, Mass. The Cudworths were an old Lancashire
family descended from John Cudworth of Werneth, who had married Margery,
daughter of Richard Oldham, lord of the manor of Oldham. Their great-great-
great-grandson, Ralph Cudworth of Werneth Hall, married Jane daughter of
Arthur Ashton of Rochdale. A second SQn by this union was Rev. Ralph Cud-
worth, who was a Fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge. He held the liv-
ing of Cudworth, near Chard, Somerset, and was rector of Aller, Somerset, 1609,
where he died in 1624. He was chaplain of James I, and married a nurse of
Henry, I'rince of Wales, by the name of Machell. On the death of Dr. Cud-
worth his widow married Rev. John Stoughton of Aldermanbury, London,
who also succeeded Cudworth at his death as rector of Aller. He is referred to
in the extract from the "Diary of John Rous" (Registek. vol- 21, p. 2oO).
Dr. Stoughton's will is given in Waters's Gleanings, p. 179. He there men-
tions two daughters, Jane his wife, and her father John Browne of Frampton,
Dorset. Cudworth's widow must have died between Dec. 1634 and 1635, and
Stoughton then married in 1635 a second wife, Jane Browne, who was then
the widow of Walter Newborongh, rector of Simondsburr, Dorset. After
Stoughton's death she married, in 1659, Thomas Burwell, M. D., of London.
Mary ,_ daughter of Dr. Stoughton, was buried at Frampton in 1640, and his
widow Jane, then wife of Dr. Burwell, was buried in Frampton Church in 1679.
A son was bom to Rev. Ralph Cudworth at AUer in 1616, who was given the
name of Ralph and who was the husband of Damaris Andrews. He became a
philosopher and theologian of note, being " one of the most eminent of the Lati-
tudinarian Divines." He was a Fellow of Emmanuel, Regis Professor of Hebrew,
and wrote many works on religions subjects. In 1650 he was presented to the
living of North Cadbury, Somerset, made vacant by the resignauon of Rev.
Benjamin Whichcote. In 1654 he became master of Christ College, and about
this time married Damaris Andrews. He was intimate with Thurloe, secretary
to Cromwell. He died at Cambridge in 1688, and is buried in Christ College.
The widow, Damaris Cudworth, daughter of Matthew Craddock. was bnnied
at High La vers, Essex, in 1695. A very elaborate marble tablet bears this in-
cription : " Damaris Cudworth Relict of Ralph Cudworth D' of Divinitie, and
Master of Christ's College Cambridge. Exemplarie for her pietie and virtue,
for her studie of the scriptures, Charitie to the -poore, and good will to all,
and an excellent Wife, Mother, Mistress and friend, lies buried in the middle
between this and the opposite wall. She was bom the 23 Oct- 1623 and, after
a life made easie to herselfe and others by the unalterable evenness of her
temper, she died as one that goes to sleepe without disease or paine the 15
Nov. 1695, in fuU hope and expectation of a happy resurrection.'' The only
daughter of Rev. Ralph and Damaris (Craddock) Cudworth was Damaris, bom
in Cambridge, Eng., 18 Jan. 1658. Damaris Cudworth, aged 21. of Cambridge,
was married with the consent of her father, Rev. Ralph Cudworth, after 24
June 1685 at St. Andrews, Holbom, London, to Sir Francis Mas ham of Gates,
in High Lavers, Essex, baronet and widower, then aged 36. She was his second
wife. Lady Masham wrote many religious works, and was the friend of Locke,
who lived with the family and of whose life she wrote an account in the -• Great
Historical Dictionary." Lady Masham died 20 Apr. 170S, and is buried in the
middle aisle of Batli Abbey. Her son Francis Cudworth Masham. accomitant
general to the Court of Chancery, died 25 May 1731, the last of his branch. A
life of Lady Masham is given Ln Ballard's " Lives of Ladies." Rev. Ralph Cud-
worth (1617-16*8) had sons Charles, who died in 1684, ?nd John, who died in
1726. He is also given as father of Ralph (circa 1650-1690). This last Ralph
was father of William (^^690-1763). The latter's younger son Benjamin married
Marie Marple. Benjamin Cudworth's son Benjamin married Mary Sheppard,
and had issue. A sister of the second Benjamin, Elizabeth, married William
de Whitebrook. Their two sons were WUliam Marie Aymer de Whitebrook
and J. Cudworth de Whitebrook of London.

HiGGiNSON. — The parish register of St. Peter's. Kottingham, contains the
following marriage record : " Franciscns Higginson dnxit uxore Ana Herbert
OctaTO die Januarij 1615" (Phillimore, Nottingham Marriages, p. 19).
This appears to be the marriage record of Eev. Francb Higginson, minister
of the First Church of Salem, and his wife Ann.
He was ordained deacon at Cawood Castle Sept. 2.5. 16U, by Tobey Mathew,
Archbishop of York, when he was called curate of Scredingham. and was or-
dained priest at Bishopthorpe Dec. 8, 1614. He was collated (mstituted) Apr. 20,
1615, by the Archbishop of York, the patron, to the rectory of Barton-in-fabis
in the county of Nottingham, which he resigned Apr. 4. 1616 (Archiepiscopal
Registry of York, Institutions Sandes, 1572 to 1619, ff. 431, 433, 437. 447; Reg-
ister, 52: 348). Barton-in-fabis is six nules southwest of Nottingham, near
the border of Leicestershire. From 1617, or thereabouts, to 1629, the time of
his emigration, he was connected with the parish of St. Nicholas. Leicester,
when he styled himself "minister "and afterw«rds "lecturer" (Register, 52 :
348).
There was a tradition that Aim, wife of Francis HQggiiison, was a sister of
Gov. Theophilus Eaton, but Hannah, sister of Gov. Eaton, was unmarried when
named in her father's will in 1616 (New Haren Hist. CoUs., 4 : 186. 7 : 5), and
married, Dec. 5, 1622, Joseph Denmaa, in the parish of St. Mary Woolchurch,
Haw, London, where, on Dec. 3, 1622, Theophilns Eaton married his first wife,
Grace Hiller (Parish Reg. St. Mary Woolchurch) . The mention of "Coz»
Hayler" in a letter of Col. John Higginson (3 Mass. Hist- Soc. CoUs., 7 : 219)
and of " Tho : Hayler " (Higginson Letters. Ms.) , and also the recurrence of the
names Grace and Judith in the Hiller and Higginson families (Re< "■jr, 46 : 118)
suggests that the connection between the Higginsons and Theop . Eaton may
have been a relationship between Bev. Francis Higginson and t' .iUers of the
parish of St. Mary Woolchurch. V isix Hall.

Although the greater part of this scholarly production concerning the Bajl
families relates to branches that belong in Co. Dublin, Ireland, several lines
connected with Philadelphia and Virginia are also included, the latter setting
forth the ancestry of Mary, daughter of Col. Joseph Ball and mother of George
Washington. The appendix contams some valuable notes relating to the
Standish family of Lancashire, Dublin, and Rathbeggan, Co. Meath, and men-
tions Capt. Myles Standish of Plymouth. The book is the restilt of careful,
scientific research, and therefore of real worth and usefulness. The illustra-

paper. There is an index.

male lines are recotded here, other names beside that of Beatty are found in
the\Becond part, and the name of Gary has many representatives. The book is
priced on good paper and is indexed. An inartistic title-page opqps the book

The preface states that " this record is complete only as to one branch of the

given here. Scant attention is paid to the names that do not appear again as
the line is carried forward, and there is no indication what names will be found

Moffat Water, Scotland, are among the illustrations.

John Foster, the earliest American engraver and first Boston print/^, by Samuel
Abbott Green. Published by The Massachusetts Historical Society at the
charge of the Waterston Funi No. 2. Boston, 1909. 4» pp. Ii9, Ulos.
The careful research of many years has gleaned the materials for this
biography of John Foster, the earliest engraver in what is now the United
States, and the first printer in Boston. Few facts concerning his life could be
found, and much that has been discovered concerning him is recorded here by
reproductions of his engraving, and photographic reprints of some of the title-
pages of the pamphlets printed by him. The book, which is canefully finished
In every detail, also includes a " Biographical list of titles printed by Foster,"
" Titles probably printed by Foster," and " Engravings by Foster."
John Johnston of New York, merchant, by Emilt Johxston Deforest. New
York, privately printed, 1909. 8" pp. 195, Ulus., chart.
Quaint and charming are many of the anecdotes related here C'f the life and
travels of a prominent New York merchant in the early part of the nineteenth
century. His trips to his boyhood home in Scotland, and his jocmey with his
family, by carriage, through Europe, disclose many experiences hardly dreamed
of in the days of modem railway and postal service. A delightful glimpse of
the social life of 1830 is also aflTorded by the extracts from " the party book."
The volume is illustrated with rare views of New York, some Pdrtch scenes,
and several portraits. It is a pleasure to see a book so well made aLd so artistic.

Col. J. i.. HrBF.iiT Neilso.v, M.D. Published by the Quebec Literary and
Historical Society in commemoration of the 300th anniversary of the founding
of Quebec, July 1608. Quebec, 1908. 16" pp. 12+[176].
Each page of this prayer book, written in the language of the Illinois Indians,
and used for years by that famous Jesuit missionary, Pere Marquette, is here
reproduced with the utmost care, every print being so clear that the dialect can
be studied from trie photographic facsunUe. When Marquette and Jolliet made
the long journey in 1673 that resulted in their discovery of the Mississippi
River, this prayer book, and the pewter bowl and spoon also photographed here,
undoubtedly formed part of Marquette's traveUing equipment. These three
articles were given to the grandfather of the present owner by the last Jesuit
in Canada, in gratitude forhis kindness in sending to the missionaries for many
years the Qi.fbec Gazelle, the official journal of the colony, of which he was the
editor and printer. The Quebec Literary and Historical Society has issued a
volume of unique value and interest.

Limited, 1909. t- pp. 32, iUus.
Few p-ersonal records, if any, are available for the study of the War of 1812
on the frontiers. Although tiie name of the author of this straightforward
daily chronicle of events on a prison ship is not given in the journal itself, the
editor finds immistaJiable evidence of its having been written by Surgeon's Mate
James Reynolds, who was deputed by Surgeon-General Edwards of the American
forces to take charge of the sick on the two vessels despatched from Maumee
to Detroit, but which were captured by the British, 2 July 1812, at Fort Maiden
(Amhei-stburg) . True appreciation of the value of personal records that relate
to historical events Ls shown by the publication of this diary, which seems to be
without a contemporaneous parallel.

its disregard "of myth and tradition, and the breadth of research, particularly
in the records of ^rly explorers, on which this narrative is based. Frequent

The genealogies of the families of Cohasset, ifassachiisetts, compiled under the

lished under the auspices of the Committee on Town History, 1909. [Boston,
Mass., Stanhope Press, F. H. Gilson Company.] 8° pp. 12-|-631, illus.
This excellent record of all the families of Cohasset, arranged in alphabetical
sequence, covers nearly five hundred pages and will make a welcome and useful
addition to the history of the town published in 1898, with which this record
was first designed to appear. The delay in publication has been caused by the
great amount of time and labor required in genealo»ical compilation.
Interesting supplementary historical chapters bring the town's record down to
date. The deep-sea captains of the town, the wrecks that have occurred on its
shores, and the life saving station, receive attention, as do the musical associar
tion and the officers of the town, many of whose portraits are among the illus-
trations, which also uiclude views of town buildings. K. E. H. G. Standard
paper is used, and the genealogical material is arranged on the Register plan
The printing and binding are unusually good.

The Lichfield Law School, "the first law school of this country," rightfully
receives a large measure of attention in this volume. Views of the two little
story-and-a-haLf buildings in which it was held, and portraits of prominent men
who came from every state then in the union to study here, are among the illus-
trations. Preceding the alphabeticallT arranged sketches of members of the bar
are reprints of some valuable and rare addresses relating to the Litchfield Bax,
now out of print. Among the Southern students the most prominent was John
C. Calhoun of South Carolina. Even the original of " Old Grimes is dead "(Wil-
liam Grimes, a runaway slave, who became general servant to the students of
the Law School) is not overlooked. There is an index. It is regrettable that so
good a book was not printed on better paper.

To those who have seen the previous sets of county histories issued by this
company, these four large, heavy volumes will present a familiar appearance,
in their full leather binding. The illustrations are many, and are all well-repro-
duced portraits of men whose family history is sketched here. The publishers
say they believe that the work includes "the main stem of every family tree of
every family of any importance in Maine." It may be true, however, th.it there
are some old families wjiose records are already in print, and who do not wish
to incur the expense of being included in this publication, but doubtless they are
few in comparison with the great number here included.

The work of printing the town records verbatim et literatim, begun so wisely
and so well in the eighth volume of this Society's collections, is continued in
the same careful manner in this publication. In the sixteen years' records here
printed some of the mo?t interesting topics that received the consideration of
the voters of the town were the '• securing females for teachers " (deemed inad-
%isablej, the establishment of a singing school (approved, but no money raised),
and the separation of church and town afl'airs. Industrial progress was ad-
vanced by the openmg of the Blodget canal around Amoskeag Falls, and in 1810
the first manufacturing in the vicinity was 'started. In June of tliat year the
name of the town was changed from Derryfield to Manchester. This book is
clearly printed on good paper, is indexed, and bound suuilar to the other vol-
umes in the series.

bearing on a historical crisis such a, volume increases greatly in interest and
range of usefulness. The commissioners, whose minutes are contained in these

out and arrest the enemies of the State. The book is finely printed on excellent

Each sketch is illustrated by s.1 least one coat-of-arms, and it is to be feared that

The different ways in which each of the thirteen original states elected ^its
first representatives, senators, and presidential electors, and thus set the ma-
chinery of government in operation, receive careful scholarly analysis in this
monograph. It also traces the relinquishment by the separate states into the
hands of the federal government, of their right to coin money, raise armies, and
levy import and export taxes, and then discusses the political and constitu-
tional questions involved in consequence of this transfer of power. Some of
the paragraphs from current newspapers illustrate certain points well, and also
cause amusement by reference to the pleasing fiction that " The People " are the
"Masters of Congress."

HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL

GEORGE SUMNER MaI^
By Marqcis Fayette Dickinson, A.M., of Brookline, Mass.
By the death of George Sumner Mann, which occured at hie home
in BrooLline, October 27, 1909, the New England Historic Genea-
logical Society has lost one of its most loyal and useful members.
He joined the Society February 2, 1881, and up to the date of his
death was a constant attendant upon all meetings, and was always
actively concerned in the administration and advancement of its
interests.
He was a descendant in the seventh generation from that Richard
IVIann* who emigrated from England to Scituate, in Plvmouth Col-
ony, in the reign of Charles I, shortly prior to 1644. His nearest
neighbor on the south was John Hoar, later of Concord, Mass., an-
cestor of the distinguished family of that name and town. The name
of Richard Mann, planter, appears among the Conihassett Partners,
so-called, who acquired lands in Scituate in 1646, of Timothy Hath-
erly. Mr. Mann was a personage of note and much respected in
the community. With thirty-one others, he took the oath of
fidelity January 15, 1644. His farm was located on a beautiful
elevation called Mann Hill, in the northeastern part of that town,
overlooking a wide expanse of ocean. The succession in the male
line is Richard,' Thomas,' Ensign,' Ensign,* Ensign,' Willmm,'
and George Sumner.' The paternal great-grandfather. Ensign
Mann, Jr., born on Mann Hill in 1740, removed with his father to
Boston early in life, and was graduated from Harvard College in
1764. The College hall and library were burned during his col-
legiate course, and he lost many books in the fire. He removed to
Lancaster, where he was a teacher for three years, and finally went
to Petersham, where he also followed the profession of teaching.
He took a prominent part in the controversies preceding the Amer-
ican Revolution, was an ardent patriot, and one of the Sons of Lilj-
erty. In 1773 he married Alice Whitney, daughter of Rev. Aaron
Whitney, the minister of Petersham, and later in life bought a f;u-m
"Originally spelled Man.
VOL. LXIV. 8
104 George Sumnei- Mann [April
in the north part of the town where he was considerably employed
in fitting young men for college. He was usually spoken of as "Master
Mann." His grandson WQliam of Petersham was bom July 25,
1809, and married Abigail Cook, who was bom in Guildhall,^ Ver-
mont, later of New Salem, Massachusetts. "iVTien ten months old
his father died, leaving him to the care of his mother, who married
for her eecond husband one Sanderson. William was a speculator
in real estate and cattle, who owned over a dozen farms within a
radius of five miles of Petersham meeting-house, and in 1867 pur-
chased the Capt. Joel Brooks Farm, where he resided for some
years. He was a man of soimd judgment and enjoyed the confi-
dence of his fellow townsmen. In politics he wae|^ Jeffersonian, as
were his eons, all being firm believers in the sovereignty of the
states.
George Sranner' Mann, the subject of this sketch, was bom just
over the Peteisham line in New Salem, November 25, 1834. Sum-
ner, the name by which he was commonly called, was given in
honor of Eev. Joseph Sunmer, D.D., of Shrewsbury, firom which
town his grandmother, Lydia Filmore, came. During his infancy
his parents moved back to Petersham, where his youth was spent on
his father's farm near the Athol line, now a part of the Harvard
Forestry Sdiool. His education was obtained in the Bennett Hill
district school up to his eighteenth year. Then he spent a year in
Goodale Academy at Bemardston. His early training as a mer-
diant began in 1853 at the age of eighteen in the well kiown Theo-
dore Jones store at Athol, and continued four years. Following
this came a few months' service as clerk in the Erving post ofiBce.
In 1858 he came to Boston, where, after a few months' work in
a dry-goods store, he entered into partnership with others and pros-
ecnted a very successful dry-goods business in Tremont Row, with
blanches in Hanover and Tremont Streets, under the successive
names of Mann & Company, Barker, Mann & Company, and
George S. Mann & Company. In 1863 he formed a strong inti-
macy with Justin Dewey of Great Barrington, then a law student in
Boston, afterwards one of the justices of the Superior Court. Mr.
Mann retired from mercantile business in 1878, devoting himself
thereafter to the real estate business and care of trust estates. In
these lines of effort he was very successful and accumulated a com-
petency.
Early in life Mr. Mann became interested in historical and genea-
logical studies, and after his retirement from commercial life found
time to indulge these inclinations. He had great patience in collect-
ing historical and biographical facts, which he turned to good ac-
count in frequent communications to the Boston Transcript and
other publications. His most important contribution was the
";Mann Memorial," which appeared in 1884, and is a work of per-
1910] George Sumner Mann % 105
manent valne. Besides his membership in this Society he belonged
to the Brookline Historical Society, the Bostonian Society, Sons of
the American Revolution, Bunker Hill Monument Association, Essex
Institute, and Brookline Thursday Club. During the last two years
of his life he was secretary of the last named organization and devoted
much time to its interests. He contributed several valuable papers
at itB meetings, notably one on Shay's Rebellion, ^nd another on
Early London Clubs.
It is pleasant to note that jVIt. Mann's will sets aside a fund of
$2,000 for the benefit of this Society, one-half the income to be used
for the publication of memorial biographies of deceased members,
the other half for general objects; also that the sum of $5,000 is
provided, one-quarter of the income of which is to be set apart for
the purchase of historical works for the Petersham Memorial
Library. A provision of an unusual nature appears in the creation
of a fund of $20,000 to be called the " Mann Fund," which is even-
tually to be given to the Washington and Lee University at Lexington,
Virginia, for educational purposes, " in honor of the late General
Robert E. Lee and others whose loyal adherence to the States' rights
sustained them in the war between the States."
Mr. Mann is survived by a widow, Susan Alzea Stone, to whom
he was married March 26, 1865, daughter of Jeremiah and Esther
(Wildes) Stone of Provincetown, by two daughters, Carrie Wildes,
wife of William A. Spalding of Newton, and Miss Gertrude
Whitney Mann, by a younger brother, Horace ]SIann of Petersham,
and two sisters, Mary Sanderson Wilder, wife of Charles K. Wilder,
and ISliss Lydia A. Mann, both of Petersham.
The minute presented by Anson M. Lyman, Esq., in the Brook-
line Thursday Club, shortly after his deadi, well expresses the es-
teem in which Mr. Mann was held by his associates, and may prop-
erly close this sketch : " In the Brookline Thursday Club, of which
he had been an honored active member for eight years and most
constant in his attendance, all who met him must have been im-
pressed with the charm of his manner and his unfailing courtesy.
He was a companion we loved and honored. Of recent years, par-
ticularly during the time that he was our secretary, his love and
thought was centred upon the welfare of the clnb. His reports as
secretary were painstaking, discriminating, and often scintillating
with flashes of wit and humor which added much to our enjoyment.
We shall miss his genial presence and his kindly fellowship."

lips, Leonard Jarvis, and John Read, Commissioners of Massachu-
setts, sold William Bingham one parcel of land in Hancock Co.,

Urann by the trustees. On 14 Mar. 1828 he sold land in FrankUn
at Flagg Bay to his son Thomas Urann, Jr. By deed of 24 May
1837 he sold his homestead at Franklin to his son Thomas.

[I have printed these items regarding the Waterbury family of Suffolk
because the name is so rare in England. Savage says that William Water-
bury of Boston came in the fleet with Winthrop, and that Jolm Waterbury
was early in Watenown and moved to Stamford, Conn. I suggest that
the first entry quoted above is the baptism of the emigrant to Boston.
Stodbury and Groton, Governor Winthrop's home, are only six miles apart.
May not the emigrant John have been son of the emigrant William and
named for his grandfather Waterbury ? Further search in the local records
of Sudbury and vicinity might te profitable. E. P.]

1910] The Great Elm and its Scion
THE GREAT ELM AKD ITS SCIOX
Before its destruction on February 15, 187G. the Great Elm was one
of the chief objects of interest in Boston. Though a giant ia size and of
great age, it was noted principally for the beauty of its proporrions. Prob-
ably in existence "before the arrival of the first Colonists." it was of suiii-
cient size to be noted upon the map of Boston engrAved in 1722. From
the largest branch tradition has it that some early esecuaons took place.
In later years hangings of a less serious nature occurred there for the ex-
hibition of feeling against unpopular Tories. The tree was used by the
Sons of Liberty as a meeting place, and from this it doubdess took its name
of Libeny Tree. The Great Elm was nearly de^troyel by a storm in
1832, and was further injured in 1860 and 1869, bat the tree's final de-
struction was due to the gale of February, 1876.'
At the stated meeting of the New England Hi5;oric Genealogical So-
ciety held December 1, 1909, a committee'' was app.:>inted '• to consider the
location of the scion of the Old Elm and report thereon." Their report is
as follows :
Rev. George Hodges, D.D., in his very interesting address before the
Society on December 1, 1909, stated that he had -that day stood at the
site of the Old Elm on the Common and was pleas^i to see the healthy
tree growing there, which was a scion of the original tree."' He expressed
the belief of thousands who think as he did. At the clo<~e of his address,
when remarks were in order, one of this committee publicly stated that to
his personal knowledge the present tree was not a backer or a scion of the
famed elm, but the actual one was now on the spoc to which it was re-
moved fifty feet or so away, and should be properly marked. The appoint-
ment of this committee followed. They observed early in their investiga-
tions that the question was of much wider scope tiian was anticipated in
the appointment. Having, as they think, discovered facts of iaterest to the
genera] public, they have extended the report to cover the entire matter.
This procedure was considerably strengthened by an article lately published
in the Boston Evening Record by Courtenay Guild, Esq. He imeeremonious-
ly pricked the bubble when he'remarked, "The newspapers of 1876 would
quicklv put an end to all discussion regarding the o'.d elm on the Common,
and show that the present elm is not even a sucker of the old tree. It
simply illustrates how easy it is to falsify history concerning an event only
thirty-three years ago."
Before considering the question regarding the so-cailed scion, a few
things can with propriety be said concerning the oJ-i tree. The investiga-
tion has been very thorough and in no instance has evidence been found
that the present tree, occupying the site of the old ilm, ls not one procured
by Mr. .John Galvin, the then city Forester, at a nursery in Dorchester,
and planted out under his immediate supervision as a " Centennial Tree."

' The committee consisted of Messrs. William Cjrver Bires, ThomiS TT. Silloway,
and Charles F. Read.
The Great Elm and its Scion
[AprQ
It woiQd be a pleasant work for this Committee to ^ve the testimony of
distinguished citizens who knew well the origin of the scion, or sucker on
the old lot,' and also of the new tree. It would also be interesting to speak
of the many articles on the subject, published in the late daily papers.
These give direct testimony and are more than interesting. But one of the
lot, however, wUl be quoted from. That is by Alvah H. Peters, Esq., who
for some years before the tree transaction and many after, was Boston's
city Messenger who was particularly interested in planting the, new tree.
It was he who procured the granite blocks with a recess in one of them
which was finally filled with documents and other things of interest, ce-
mented up and placed under the trunk of the present tree. Mr. Peters
was custodian of the box for a short time. The smaller of the two iron
tablets now on the old tree-ground reads as follows :
' See Shurtleff, op. cit., p. 340, as follows : "When the Great Tree was measured in
the spring of 1860, an offshoot was discovered, which had recently, in 1859. started
from one of the roots on the westerly side of the main tree. This shoot is still alive,
measuring over twelve feet in height, and about thirteen inches in circumference a
short distance above the ground, and appears to have received due attention from those
who have since that time had charge of the Common. Just where it emerges from the
soil, there is a considerable cavity in the old tree; and it would not be surprising if
the Toung tree, vampire-like, were to grow and flourish on the life-sap of its parent;
and if care is continued to be given to it, it ma^ hereafter succeed its parent and be-
come noted i
mg
centuries as has its distinguished progenitor.'
1910] The Great Elm and its Scion 143
TnE Old Elm
DESTROYED BY A
GAiE Feb. 15, 1876
THIS ELM
PLANTED A. D. 1876
The committee, having uncontradicted and positive testimony of the two
kinds named, do not hesitate to say that the tree now on the site of the
Old Elm was new, and is In no way related to the old tree.
In regard to the sucker of the old tree, the committee state that it grew
inside the iron fence once aroond the old tree. It was about three and a
half inches in diameter one foot above the ground, and was not far from two
feet from the Old Elm. When the trunk was two inches in diameter a
committee made an examination and reported that it grew from a small
rod of the original tree. Their report was published m the papers of the
dav Mr Thomas W. Silloway, a member of the present committee, was
pr^nt at the planting of the new tree. It was Mr. John Galvin the
citv forester's opinion, as well as the judgment of others in authority, that
to plant a new tree on the old site was a better work than to replant the
sadker of the old one. A few weeks after the planting, Mr. Silloway was
informed by Mr. Galvin that the sucker tree had been replanted, and he
pointed out the place- It was north of the path leading to Charles Street,
fiftv-three feet from the site of the famed elm, on a line from the old tree
to Walnut Street. Mr. Galvin went as superintendent of the city institu-
tion at Deer Island, and Mr. WUliam Doogue was appointed m his stead.
Mr SUloway talked with Mr. Doogue in regard to the old tree, the new
one, and the sucker in its new location, all of which Mr. Doogue was fa-
miliar with. He promised to put a proper tablet to mark the latter. Ihe
two ft Mr. Doogue's request went to the old gingko tree on Beacon Street
Mall, near the Jov Street steps. They decided that the child of the old tree
should be marked as the dngko tree was, and now is, but it never was
done. Mr. SiUowav asked Mr. Doogue if there was anything peculiar and
especially interesting about the young or sucker tree. Mr. Doogue replied
" Indeed there Ls, and we'll go and see it." They went, and Mr Doogue
pointed out this pecnliaritv. On the northerly side, perhaps half way
arwmd, the bark was like that of all elm trees, the remainder or path side
of it was of a very coarse texture and onlike that on the other side, ihat
pe-uliaritv exists" to thLs day. On asking Mr. Doogue why this was so,
he replied " Why, this coarse bark was towards the old tree and not ex-
pos*^ to the sun as the other side was." The tree is somewhat inferior to
the new one, and is in a sense vindication of Mr. Galvin s judgment An-
other testimonial of importance is from Sir. Frank M Cowies, pubhshed
in tie Boston Herald. Among other things stated m the amcle is the fol-
lowing: . . ,
-I can confirm Mr. Sillowav's statement m every particular . . •
the real shoot was planteii a little west of the old tree where I used to point
it out to mv friends when thev visited Boston as a real descendant of the
old elm. There was much severe criticUm as to the motive which caused
the transplanting." ■ ^^ ^■
There is yet another question that may with propriety receive attention.
Fr.r some years there was a policeman by the name of Thomas S. Adams,
apwinted 1855, left the force 1878, and died April 8, I'.'Ol. He was
esx^rially interested in the cultivation of trees, and had many and in va-
144 Woods Family of Groton, Mass. [April
riety in his rear yard at 804 Tremont Street. He entertained especial in-
terest in the Old Elm, and in 1873 took three cuttings from it to root.
Only one lived, which was taken to the sanitary ground on Flagstaff Hill
and was cultivated with care by Mr. Noble, custodian of the place. Dur-
ing his mayoralty Hon. Thomas N. Hart, with Mr. John W. Fraser, a
member of the Common Council, in the presence of others did the initiatory
work of planting the scion-tree as removed from the sanitary.
The location is on the south side of the hill near tlie Soldiers' and Sail-
ors' Monument. It is a healthy tree with the trunk eighteen inches in
diameter. It is on a line from the monument to Park Square 70 feet from
the former and 25 feet from the edge of the gravel path to the tree.
Miss Adelaide M. Adams, daughter of the policeman Adams, residing
at the old homestead, testifies to having many times visited the tree with her
father, who constantly cared for it to the day of his death.
Much testimony of like nature has been presented confirmatory of the
statements herein made in relation to all four of the trees.
In consideration of the foregoing the committee believe the tree at pres-
ent on the old site is an entirely new one, that the one on the hiU is from
a scion or cutting from the Old Elm, and the one fifty-three feet north of
the old site grew direct from a small root of the -famed elm or parent tree.
They recommend that each of the two he. suitably marked with a granite
stone set firmly in the ground, and with substantially these inscriptionB.
A t the scion-tree :
" This tree grew from a cutting from the Old Elm, rooted by policeman
Thomas S. Adams 1873, planted here imder the supervision of Hon.
Thomas N. Hart, Mayor, and John W. Fraser, Conndlman."
At tjie sucker tree the following :
" This tree sprouted and grew from a root of the Old Elm. Was planted
here by the city forester, John Galvin in 1876, soon after the parent tree
was blown down."

'This list, comprising over 1500 names, is to be found in the back of vols. 5 and 7
of the Records of the Corporation of Liverpool, deposited in ib2 Town Clerk's Office,
Leasing Department, Liverpool. The entries were originally arranged chronological-
ly, but vol. 5 has been rebound and the pages have been misplaced. The entries are
apparently not official, and most of the writing can only be described as scribbling.
The writer or writers— the entries seemingly being made by three different scribes —
were evidently employed to draw up the indentures. The words " pd." and "deliv-
ered" in the margin appear to refer to the indentures, and there is one entry stating
that twenty shillings was paid for four indentures.— E. F.
The use of apostrophes at the end of words has been rendered necessary to represent
the signs of abbreviation in the original manuscript.

1910] First Oionership of Ohio Lands 167
< FIRST OWNERSHIP OF OHIO LANDS
By Albion Morkis Dtee, A.M., of Clevelatid, Ohio
At the end of tlie war of the American Revolution the Continental Con-
p-ess came into possession of certain western lands, surrendered by the
British Crown to the United States in the treaty si^ed at Paris on the
3d day of September, 1783. The "crown lands." as they were called, lay
back of the heads of the Atlantic rivers and over the mountains, extending
westward to the distant Fatlier of Waters. They were known to the colo-
nies as the " back lands " or " back country." and being waste and unciUti-
vated, remote from the ships and barred by many hazards, were not especially
desirable in the early settlements. Here wars had raged for unknown cen-
turies, and war was to linger for many years. Two great savage nations
had fought from the beginning for this vast wilderness, and three European
powers had striven from its discovery to possess it. Finally it was won
from the French by the imited arms of the King and colonies and joined
to Quebec to enter upon a new epoch. Afterwards the crown lands ap-
pear in the public councils of the colonies, and that part lying beyond the
Ohio River is referred to in the early records as '• The W^tern Territory,"
a term obviously too broad, since there was western territory on both sides
of the river. Under this name it passed for many years, both in and out
of Congress ; but the official designation of xhe region was changed in the
final action on the famous Ordinance of 1787, where, in the last reading,
the title was extended to " The Territory of the United States North- 'W^est
of the River Ohio." ' Such is the orgin of the Northwest Territori", nur-
sery of states, first extension in area of the United States, first grand re-
source of the nation, yielding the first considerable item of revenue in the
public accotmts.
The Northwest Territory passed to the United States indisputably, as
part of the lands embraced within the boundary line established by Article
III of the Treaty of Paris, reading : " through the middle of the lakes, djid
along the middle of the river Mississippi, until it shall intersect the north-
em-most part of the thirty-first degree of north latitude." The English
right thus descending to the United States included the relinquished rights
of Spain and France, and the King of France had confirmed the transfer
by separate treaties giving up forever to the Americans all his claims west
of the Mississippi. No other civilized power laid claim to these lands, yet
no territory of state ever had more troublesome encumbrances. Four col-
onies had covered the property with overlappLmg titles based on vague royal
grants and Indian treaties. The territoriiil land rights of these and other
states were advocated by the commissioners or Congress in the negotiation
of peace with England, as the basis of a demaEid for the territory, and the
United States was further bound to respect tie claims of the states by a
specific clause of the articles of confederation. Many tribes of Indians
occupied the territory as hereditary owners, and their right of habitation
had been confirmed to them by royal proclamation. Reiving upon this
confirmation a part of the inhabitants had allied themselves witii the British
' Printed copies of the Ordinance of 1787, preserved in the Library ofCongres?, No.
30, Papers of the Continental Congress, show alteratioi^ made at various stage? of iti>
progress. The first use of the limitation in the title seems to be on the date ofpaysage,
July 13, 1787, but it is some time before " Northwest Territory " was in general use.

cause against the Americans for the retention of their homes and hunting
grounds', while the other part of the Indians had remained neutral or assisted
the colonies. The hostile Indians were not yet subdued ; they were still
in armed possession of the frontier, while the friendly tribes could not well
be disturbed in their wigwams without serious consequences. Added to this
were several minor complications : pledges of bounty land to the military ;
indeterminate grants within the territory to independent companies ; squatter
inroads into the bottoms of the Ohio ; and British garrisons keeping guard at
the outposts supposedly encouraging natives in hostilities, and furnishing aid
and comfort to intruders. These conflicting elements were cleared away from
the title by good management of Congress, and the United States was able to
establish a hold on the Northwest Territory. With great patience, exer-
cising powers assumed but not granted, the American states solved their
first political problem, the land issue, quieted the discordant states and
gloriously concluded the confederacy. In the course of this business
through the assembly, with wonderful enlightenment and in marvellous
wisdom of counsels, the title of the Northwest Territory was cleared ; the
frontier was made safe and the Indians protected within their own property
limits under permanent relations of ward-ship ; a public domain was
created, and a rational system of surveying devised to open it ; a sinking
fund was started, which in time extinguish^ the whole state and federal
debt ; and a mode was provided for the extension of settlements on the
territory, and for the expansion of the American system of representative
government under the flag.
It is not the present purpose of the writer to trace the factors of this first
nationalizing movement in American history. The plan in this preliminary
sketch is merely to link together events in the course of action which cleared
the title to the Northwest Territory, and to follow with more detail the
subsequent steps by which Congress established an open doorway into the
West. That open door was Ohio. Between the meridians confining this
great state, the problem of the preparation of a seat in the wilderness for
civilization was worked out on heroic lines. These matters are of more
tban local interest, although the details may not be found in the larger
histories.
Years before the crown lands had passed to the United States, four of
the states " claiming to the Mississippi or South Sea," assvuned sovereign
rights of preemption of soil and jurisdiction over the lands comprising the
Northwest Territory. Massachusetts and Connecticut rested their title on
royal charters, claiming parallel strips of land which cut off the northern
part of the Territory. New York claimed by the historic deed of the Six
Nations, and her title covered nearly the whole extent of the country south
of the lakes. Virginia's proofs were in the royal grants and European
treaties, supported by the subsequent military achievement of Clark, and
her claims overspread everything from the Canadas far into the south. The
claims of the Carolinas and of Georgia were of the same nature, but they
fell below the Ohio River. The proofs upon which many if not all of
these claims rested had never been tested by legal exammation or compari-
son. In some instances the charters or treaties were of uncertain force and
effect. The claims themselves were plainly conflicting. The delineations
in the documentary proofs were vague and inaccurate, and the descriptions
were based on erroneous geographical knowledge. It was obvious from
the first that difficulties would arise in settling these clauns, but it was no
time in the midst of uncerUin war for sister states to dispute over uncon-
1910] First Ownership of Ohio Lands 169
quered territory, nor to search for boundaries in a wilderness not yet rid
of the savage aJlies of the King. Jloreover the lands were still crown
property, and there was no hope of possessing them save " through the
common sword, purse and blood of all the colonies united in one common
effort." Under the circumstances the claimant states were disposed to rest
on their theoretical rights, awaiting the outcome of the Revolution. They
worked together in the prosecution of the war without thought of their
conflicting claims, and they even engaged to enter into a perpetual union
with the lesser colonies, as into a " firm league of friendship," utterly un-
mindful of the trouble sure to come when boundaries were defined and the
limits of jurisdiction determined. k*
This complacent policy of undisputed, undisturbed own-ership of the
crown lands by neighborly colonies might have continaed unbroken
throughout the period of war, but one of the claimants, more •" ambitioiisly
grasping for territories " than the others, made presnmptiosns under her
charters that destroyed amity and planted discord among the states. Vir-
ginia was the direct cause of the fear and distrust, and Maryland led the
opposition. Presuming upon the validity of untried proofs of title, and
confident of enforcing her indeterminate claims, the Old Dominion entered
upon a course of action in the summer of 1776, which, if foDowed out to
its conclusion, would not only exclude the smaller colonies from participa-
tion in the benefits of the property but would place all her neighbors, great
and small, in position of trespassers. Unexpectedly, in the midst of general
alarms of British invasion, with union stiU in the balance and independence
not yet declared, the Virginians advanced pretensions to jurisdiction and
actual possession of all lands and waters of the region between the Chesa-
peake frontage and the Mississippi river, warning off intruders, and an-
nouncing intentions of setting up dependent territorial governments west-
ward of the Allegheny Mountains. Maryland spoke up bcddlr against
these arrogant presumptions of her powerful trans- Potomac noghbor, and
so started a controversy which increased the embarrassments of Congress
in the conduct of the war, and placed the cause of independence in greatest
jeopardy. Maryland held to the demand for complete neutralization of the
public lands on principles of fairness, if not of right ; and, by constant in-
sistance, at the risk of wrecking the Union, she broke down the plans of
Virginia and opened the way for the cessions of all the western conntry.
The origin of the controversy over the crown lands may be said to
be in the adoption of the " Constitution and Form of Government " agreed
to in general convention of the delegates and representatives of the several
counties and corporations of Virginia, held at the capitol, in the city of
Williamsburg, on the 6th of May, 1776. A paragraph of the constitution
reads as follows :
The territories contained within the charters erecting the colonies of Mary-
land, Peunsylvania, North and South Carolina, are hereby ceded, released, and
forever confirmed to the people of those colonies respectively, with all the
rights of property, jurisdictiou and government, and all other rights wbats<)ever,
which might at any time hereafter have been claimed by Vinrinia, except the
free navigation and use of the rivers Potomack and Pocomoke. with tt* property
of the Virginia shore and strands bordering on either of the said rivers, and ail
improvements which have been or sliall be made thereon. The wes^tem and
northern extent of Virginia shall, in all other respects, stand as Used by the
charter of King James the First, in the year one thousand six hundred and nine,
and by public Treaty of Peace between the courts of Great Britain and France
in the year one tliousand seven hundred and sixty-three ; uules?. by a« of legis-
lature, one or more territories shall hereafter be laid olT, and goTernmenis estab-
170 First Ownership of Ohio Lands [April
llshed westward of the Allegeny monntams. And no porchase of lands shall
be made of the Indian natives, but on behalf of the public, by aathority of the
general assembly.
Maryland unhesitatingly pronounced this claim in the constitution of
Virginia as '• injurious to tiie inhabitants of this state." At the convention
of delegates of Iilaryland in session at Annapolis, October 29, 1776, it was
ordered by a vote and resolve that this paragraph of the Virginia Consti-
tution be read, and it was .read and spread upon the minutes of the con-
vention. Whereupon it was resolved "That this convention will on tomor-
row resolve itself into a committee of the whole ; to take the same into
consideration." The following day, October 30, according to the order of
the day, the objectionable paragraph was considered. After some time
spent thereon the committee reporteii several resolutions by which the con-
vention of the state of Maryland declared unanimously that Virginia had
no title to any territory included in the charter granted to the baron of
Baltimore, and that the waters of that part of the Chesapeake included in
the charter ought to be considered as a common highway free for the people
of the bordering states, and they farther resolved unanimously :
That it is the opinion of this convention, that the very extensive claim of the
. state of Virginia to the back lands hath no foundation in justice, and that if the
same or any like claim be admitted, the freedom of the smaller states and the
liberties of America may be ' thereby greatly endangered ; this convention being
firmly persuaded, that if the dominion over these lands should be established by
- the blood and treasure of the United States, such lands ought to be considered
as the common stock, to be parcelled out at proper times into convenient, free
aiid independent governments.
It does not appear in the resoltitions what means were contemplated by the
convention of Maryland to bring this opinion to bear upon the " arrogance "
of her neighbor, but within ten days of the passage of the resolutions, No-
vember 10th, to be exact, Maryland delegates were appointed in the con-
vention to represent the state in Congress with expressed power " to concur
■with the other United States, or a majority of them, in forming a confede-
ration, providing that such confederation, when formed, be not binding
upon this state without the assent of the general assembly."
■No. one would be inclined to doubt that the Maryland delegation was
sent to Congress charged with the responsibility of engrafting this principle
of national disposition of the public territory upon the fundamental plan of
confederacy then in process of formation at Philadelphia. There is no
documentary commission to show this and the recorded proceedings of the
state and congressional assemblies are so meagre and incomplete that infer-
ences may not always be drawn from them with safety. But the steps
taken by the Marylanders are so clear and distinct, both in the home as-
sembly and in the general congress, that they indicate a settled plan to
determine all matter of territorial ownership and boundaries before confed-
erating with the'claunant colonies.'
' The sentiments of Maryland thns vigorously expressed regarding the grasping dis-
position of Virginia, were inflamed at this time by misunderstanding of the ofter of
laud for bounty in the raising of eighty-eight battalions of troops called for by the
continental tward of war in beptimber, 1776. Considering this matter in October the
convention formally resolved to raise the eight battalions assigned to Maryland, but,
declining to counteuance the promise of land where there was no land to give, sub-
etituted an offer of ten dollars cash for each enlistment in lieu of the hundred acres
pledged by Congress. This action evoked criticism in Congress, in the form of a reso-
lution adopted October 30, the exact date of the Maryland resolves against the Virginia
constitution, recommending a reconsideration of the cash bounty substitntiou, on the
theory thus expressed :
1910] First Ownership of Ohio Lands 171
It was not in the stated programme of Confess to introduce the land claims
into the confederation debates. In fact it was the bounden duty of the
leaders of Congress to exclude this subject from the discussion, as well as
from the plan of confederacy, owing to primary considerations. No refer-
ence to the lands appears in the original Franklin sketch of a plan of gov-
ernment read in Congress, July 21, 1775. But in the comminee's draft
substituted a year later, a mode of treatment of indeterminate boundary
lines and conflicting territorial land claims is provided. In this second
draft there is a clause reading : " When the boundaries of any colony shall
be ascertained by agreement all the other colonies shall guaranty to such
colony the full and peaceable possession of, and the full and entire juiisilic-
tion in, and over the territories included within such boundaries." And
among the powers of Congress enumerated are the following :
Limiting the bounds of these colonies which, by ctorter or proclamation, or
under any pretence, are said to extend to the south sea and ascertaining those
bounds of any other colony that appear to be indeterminate : Assigning territo-
ries for new colonies, either in lands to be thus sei»arated from colonies and
hereafter purchased, or obtained by the crown of Great Britain from the Indi-
ans, or hereafter to be purchased or obtained from them : Disposing of all such
lands for the general benefit of all the United Colonies : Ascertaining bounda-
ries of such new colonies within which forms of goyemment are to be estab-
lished on principles of liberty.
These clauses were not presented as a part of the committee's snbetitnte. '
They were the ideas of Mr. Dickinson and 'were merely " submitted to con-
gress," very likely on his own responsibility. They were probably not
That the said convention, by their said resolution, seem to apprehend that their rtale wonM
be obliged, In their individual capacity, to make good the bounty of land hereafter to be given
to the soldiery; whereas it was the intention of congress to provide the said land at the expense
of the Dnited States.
But this assurance served only to confuse Maryland. The convention took up the
former resolution for raising the quota of troops, and " on a very deliberate and at-
tentive consideration of the subject," came to certain resolntions, of the date of Novetn-
ber 9, informing Congress of the precise opinion of Maryland on the offer of land,
which are in part as follows :
If the bounty of land should be offered as proposed to indivldDalii of this quota, this stale
would be bound in good faith to see that bounty effeetuallv granted, and therefore aj this state
has no lands belonging solely and exclusively to itself, with which to make good the bounty, it
is not only prudent, but necessary, before they do an act which will engage the faith of tlliJ
state, to know what land is to be applied, and on what terms, to the designated purpose.
That this convention are under the strongest Irapressions that the back landj claimed by th«
British Crown, if secured by the blood and treasure of all. ought is rexran, jimice, and policy,
to be considered as common stock, to l>e parcelled out by congress into free, convenient, and in-
dependent governments, as the wisdom of that body shall hereafter direct; l>ut if these (the
only lands as this convention apprehend that can) should be provided by congre?? at the ex-
pense of the United Statea to make good the proffered bounties, every idea of tbeir being a com-
mon stock must be therefore given up: some of the states may, by fixing their own price on tbe
land, pay off what of their quota of the public debt they please, and have their extensive ter-
ritory settled by the soldiery of the other states, whilst this state and a few other- must be »
weakened and Impoverished, that they can hold their liberties only at the will of their powerful
neighbors.
Under these impressions the Maryland convention isstied instractions to the en-
listment commissioners to repair to the camps and endeavor to enlist such troops and
militia of the state as were willing to enter into the continental service on the terms
proposed by Congress
. . . immediately on its being made known to them that the honourable congress wili a^iii^

they shall endeavour to effect the said enlistment on the bounty of twenty dollars aBowed by
congress; but they are not to engage the faith of this state to give or make good any bounty of
lands, or give any assurance whatsoever that they will have such bounty.
Congress not being able to make such specification, and evidently wishing to avoid
a discussion of the theory of land claims quieted the trouble of Maryland for the time
being by an order dated November 13, instructing the president to inform the con-
at if the inhabitants of that state will Inlist to serve daring the

considered by Congress and were promptly expunged from the draft. They
do not appear again, nor anything like them anywhere in tentative or finished
form. It was the settled policy of Congress to avoid the subject of the
territories and this principle prevailed from first to last
But the confederation discussions in Congress soon offered an opportu-
nity for the Maryland delegation to interject the subject of western lands.
The matter came up logically in the course of consideration of the draft
of an article of the confederation relating to the powers^of Congress.
This discussion followed a prolonged debate on fixing a suitable criterion
of taxation to meet the costs of war, a feature of the constitution that
caused considerable trouble in the succeeding years. In the Franklin
draft, framed in 1775, public money for war expenses was to be raised by
a simple poll tax. But subsequent drafts elaborated the rule, enlarging
its scope, and extending its application to cover back outlays for war ex-
penses. When the article relating to taxation was taken up in its final dis-
cussion, October 9, 1777, further differences of opinion developed among
the delegates ; the population tax was dropped, and a general property
tax was proposed. This was burning ground ; expenditures of the indi-
vidual colonies in the early stages of the war before Congress had intro-
duced the general machinery of finance. This debate dragged along
through four days' sessions and doubtless something was said that aroused
the old grudge and stirred up the spirit of contention. The taxation de-
bate terminated on the 14lh of October in agreement on a form of Article
VIII as it stands in the finished plan of confederacy, basing taxation on
" the value of all land, within each state granted to or surveyed for any .
person, as such land the buildings and improvements thereon shall be esti-
mated,'"
In the next day's session, October 15, came the land question in the
form of resolutions proposing national control of the western territory.
The question may have come from the Maryland delegation, but this is not
certain- Three resolutions were read in succession presenting the proposi-
tion in different forms. The authorship of the resolutions is not stated in
the record, but it b probable that one, if not aU, was the means adopted
by the Marylanders for fulfilling their instructions from the convention
issued the year before. The first resolution proposed :
That in order to render the present confederacy firm and perpetual, it is essen-
tial that the limits of each resi)ective territorial jurisdiction should be ascertained
by the articles of confederation, and therefore, it is recommended to the legislar
tures of every state to lay before Congress a description of the territorial lands
of each of their respective states, and a summary of the grants, treaties and
proofs upon which they are claimed or established.
It might be supposed that this reasonable proposition would have gained
the support of the snialler colonies whose interests it especially favored,
but on this occasion, as throughout the controversy, the smaller states were
not united. New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and New Jersey opposed the
resolution, while New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland supported it.
• The rule of taxation provided for in Article viii of the confederation proved to be
convenient and nncertain, especially in its retrospect'
coold not come to terms in regard to what early expend!
inconvenient and uncertain, especially in its retrospective application. The states
coold not come to terms in regard to what early expenditures oaght to be allov
Congress and paid out of the public treasury. In consequence Article Tin wa
Congress for amendment and a substitute was submitted to the states for
ratification in April, 1783, by which the abandoned population tax was restored, but in
a modi6ed form. This was the first attempt to change the fundamental law of the
Union, and in it may be found some interesting and suggestive traces of the color line
ajid sectionalism.

Delaware and Georgia were not represented, and the vote stood eight to
three. No division is given in |,he record of vote on the second amend-
ment, and the third received the solitary support of Maryland, the vote of
New Jersey being divided. Following are the second and third amend-
ments :
The United States in Congress assembled shall have the sole and exclusive
right and power to ascertain and fix the western boundary of such states as
claim to the South Sea, and to dispose of all land beyond the boundary so ascer-
tained, for the benefit of the United States.
The United States in Congress assembled shall have the sole and exclusive
right and power to ascertain and fix the western boundary of such states as
claim to the Mississippi or South Sea, and lay out the land beyond the boundary
so ascertained into separate and independent states, from time to time, as the
nimibers and circumstances of the people thereof may require.*
There is nothing in the record to show how these three resolutions were
received by Congress, although it appears that they were handled mthout
much " consideration " or discussion. Probably the three amendments
were summarily rejected in succession with little or no debate. There was
some complaint of this mode of Congressional procedure in the subsequent
controversy, and it is recorded afterwards, relative to similar propositions,
that " they involved questions, the discussion of which was declined on
mature consideration when the articles of confederation were debated."*
Virginia pointed out the inconsistency of this doctrine with the principles
upon which the boundaries of the United States were described in an ulti-
matum in the terms of peace soon afterwards placed in negotiation with
England :
The United States conld hold no territory bnt in right of some one individual
state in the Union. Any argument fairly urged to prove that any particular
tract of country, within the limits claimed by Congress on behalf of the United
States, is not a part of the chartered territory of some one of them, must mili-
tate with equal force against the right of the United States in general ; and tend
to prove such tract of country (if northwest of the Ohio river) part of the
British province of Canada.'
It would be idle to conjecture as to the effect of those resolutions had
they gone into the plan of confederation. It might be that the confines of
the United States would have been at the mountains, as Virginia suggested
■would be the case, and the region between the Great Lakes and the Ohio
might have remained untU now a part of the Dominion of Canada. The
only appreciable effect of their introduction at this time was in the action
* Herbert B. Adams, in his Maryland's Influence in Fonnding a National Common-
wealth, a pamphlet published liy the Maryland Historical Society, 1877, credits the
third amendment of October 16, 1777, to Maryland. He states, in italics, by way of
proof: " Only Maryland voted in the ajfirmative" but offers no other support of the as-
sertion. Mr. Adams adds: " But in this motion was suggested that idea of political
expansion under sovereign control of Congress, which ultimately prevailed and con-
stituted upon grounds of necessity, a truly Xational Republic : Not only the sugges-
tion of a firm lasting union upon the basis of a territorial commonwealth, but the chief
influence in founding such a union, must be ascribed to Maryland The original
proposition that Congress should e.tercise sovereign power over the western country
was a pioneer thought, or, as the Germans say a bahnrechende Idee " (p. 28). This in-
teresting suggestion might have been made with equal warrant respecting the earlier
Marvland expression, the opinion of the Annapolis convention pronounced October
30, 1776; if not indeed of the Virginia Constitution of May, 1776, which carried the
idea of ultra-montane territorial dependencies afterwards elaborated in the Ordinance
of 1787.

which followed. The larger states took alarm from this attack upon their
cherished rights, and they voted to insert in the draft a clause which does
not appear in any earlier form, an addition to Article ix, reading : " No
state shall be deprived of territory for the benefit of the United States."
The claimant states placed this in the law of the confederacy on October
27, by which they alarmed others of the smaller colonies and laid the basis
for subsequent loss of the territory they sought to safeguard.
The plan of confederation as finally agreed upon in Congress, Saturday,
November 15, 1777, contained no reference to vacant land, or western
boundaries except the saving clause introduced at the last to satisfy the
larger states. No time was lost in placing the plan before the thirteen
states for conclusion. The articles of confederation were revised and ar-
ranged, and three hundred copies were printed. A circular letter addressed
to the states to accompany the articles of confederation was prepared by a
committee appointed to the task. Thirteen copies of the letter were made
out and signed by the president of Congress, and on Monday, November
17, these two documents weite transmitted to the executive authorities of
the several states. The letter of address is a dignified plea to hasten the
conclusion of confederation. The articles were earnestly recommended to
the immediate and dispassionate attention of the legislatures, with expres-
sions of apology for expecting that any plan should exactly correspond
with the maxims and political views of every particular state, regret at the
time which had elapsed in preparing the plan for consideration, and so-
licitude as to the time which must be necessarily spent before it can be
ratified. The legislatures were recommended " to invest their delegates
with powers to subscribe articles of confederation, and to attend congress
for that purpose on or before the 10th day of March next"
The states received the plan and address early in December, in ample
time for the necessary action in the assemblies before the day set for ratifi-
cation in Congress. But it does not seem that they were especially affected
by the urgent plea for haste. Virginia alone made prompt reply. The
general assembly of that state complied immediately with all recommenda-
tions of the address. Without stopping for debate, and without division,
each house of the assembly approved the articles and ratified them with
resolutions calling for speedy conclusion of confederation. The enabling
act of Virginia bears date of December 16, 1777," scarce a month from
the date of the address. Surely the Old Dominion was well satisfied with
the plan. Other states were not so well pleased. They were all as anxious
for confederacy and union as a means of ending the war, but they were not
in a hurry to ratify. Most of the states found fault with the plan. They
framed objections calling for amendments, and forwarded them to their
delegates for presentation to Congress. Several states waited long for
changes to be made. The responses of the legislatures show the extent
and nature of the dissatisfaction with the terms proposed for confederaton.
The date set for ratification, March 10, 1778, was permitted to pass by
without the ceremony called for in the prognimme. Not enough delegates
had received the expeirted powers and instructions, called for in the letter of
address, to justify an attempt to proceed with confederation, and so matters
'The published Journals of Conoress print this enabling act of the Virginia assem-
bly under date of Dec. 15, 1778. This error has come from the MS. vol. 9 (Historr of
Confederation), p. 123, Papers of the Continentil Confess, Library of Congress.
There is an error also in the text of the act— the dite of the adoption of the article; of
confederation by Congress being " The 17th day of November last," instead of the 7th
as it is there given.

drilled along while the states deliberated. Information travelled slowly
then and people were not so ready to spread news. Georgia, for example,
took action on the plan of confederation in February, and the result of the
action was not reported until the 23d of July. But it must have been
known among the delegates that objections had been raised in many of the
legislatures against the plan proposed, and no doubt much anxiety was felt
as to the fate of confederacy.
Congress, then in session at Torktown, was not disposed to begin the
canvas of accumulating objections untU forced into considering them by the
Sudden demands of the Maryland delegation. Fresh instructions just re-
ceived from home called for immediate notice. The general assembly of
Maryland on Saturday the 20th of June, 1778, resolved: ,
That the delegates from this state to Congress consider themselves bound by
the instructions given in October session last, and that they endeavor to procure
from Congress an explicit answer to the propositions therein contained : bnt
tiiat they do not at any time consider themselves at liberty to ratify or confirm
any confederation of perpetual friendship and tmion, until they have communi-
cated such answer to the general assembly of this state and shall receive their
express authority to do so.
The next Monday, June 22, after the issue of these explicit instruetions,
Congress having proceeded to consider the objections to the articles of con-
federation, the delegates from Maryland read to Congress these instractiona
and moved " that the objections from the state of Maryland be immediately
taken up and considered by congress, that the delegates from Maryland
may transmit to that state, with all possible despatch, the determination of
congress on those objections." The motion being put and resolved in tie
affirmative, three objections of Maryland were read and voted upon out of
the regular order of roll call, which should have begun with New Hamp-
shire.
The canvas of returns from the legislatures of the thirteen states as re-
corded in the Journals of Congress under dates of June 22 to 26, 1778,
shows only three states approving of the articles " as they now stand," New
Hampshire, New York and Virginia. A fourth had likewise approved, bnt
tie official report from North Carolina did not arrive until after the canvas
was concluded. Objections had been received by delegates of eight states
and Delaware was still to be heard from. South Carolina sent twenty-
three alterations, and Rhode Island, " having had the articles repeatedly
read, and having maturely weighed and most seriously deliberated upon
them as their importance deserves," sent along three amendments, with
powers to her delegates " to accede to and sign the articles provided they
be acceded to by eight of the other states." The objections were numer-
ous and scattering. They were mostly in the form of verbal changes of
little, if any, interest to-day.* The more important criticism came from
four states in the form of a presentment against the land policy of the
claimant states.
The method of consideration applied by Congress to these objections de-
serves a passing notice. According to the records in the Journals of Con-
gress parts of three days in the midst of other business served to dispose of
them all. Very little time was given to the separate objections. The roll
* Massachusetts and Connecticut expressed their dissatisfaction with the article relat-
ing to tajtation. The former proposed " That the rule of apportionment of taxation be
varied from time to time, until experience shall have showed what rule of apportion-
meut »-ai be most equal and consequently just." Connecticut asked to change the
. from the lands to " the number of inhabitants in each state."
176 First Oicnershijo of Ohio Lands [April
was called geographically, except that Maryland came first, and the objec-
tions from the state calleil were read by the delegates. Sometimes there
was debate, but debate was slow. One elaborate series of objections per-
taining to widely different features of the confederation were grouped into
one motion and cast out bv a single division. Another set of belated ob-
jections were, apparently, disregarded entirely. In this fashion the busi-
ness was rushed through, and on the third day Congress was able to report
that the articles. " after mature deliberation, had been adopted, without
amendment."
Two of the objections filed by the Maryland del^ates do not concern
this inquiry as they pertain to other matters, but the third brought up the
contention on the land question in still another form. By this an explana-
tion was called for of the obno.xious safety clause in Article ix. The Mary-
land assembly expressed dissatisfaction with this clause and demanded the
addition of the fcdlowing :
The United States in Congress assembled shall have the power to appoint
commissioners, who shall be fully authorized and empowered to ascertain and
restrict the boundaries of such of the confederated states which claim to ex-
tend to the river Mississippi, or South Sea.
This amendment received attention during two sessions of Congress, and
although it failed of passage the solitary vote of Maryland, recorded in the
former division, was recruited by the support of Rhode Island, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. Had New Hampshire stood by her
weaker sisters on this occasion the amendment wonld have carried, as North
Carolina was not then represented in Congress and New York's vote was
divided.
Rhode Island and New Jersey both sent objection to the clause " no
state shall be deprived of territory for the benefit of the United States,"
based on the theory that this inhibition might be construed as intending the
crown lands, which indeed was the very purpose of the insertion.' The
legislature of Rhode Island asked for an explanatory addition to the clause
to prevent such constructioo, in these words :
Provided, neverthdess, that all lands within those states, the property of
which before the present war was vested in the crown of Great Britain, or out of
which revenues from quit-rents arise, payable to the said crown, shall be deemed,
taken, and considered, as the iHX)perty of the United States ; and be disposed of
and appropriated by Congress, for the benefit of the whole confederacy, reserv-
ing, however, to the states within whose limits such crown lands may be, the
entire and complete jurisdiction thereof.
The New Jersey objections appear in a Representation of the Legislative
Council and General Assembly of that state, an impressive document
consisting of a series of remarks arranged in nine numbered paragraphs,
each item a criticism of some point in the confederation, with an alteration
suggested, and argtnnent supporting the proposed changes. The New Jer-
sey criticisms cover a wide range of ideas, but two of the paragraphs deal
with land matters. The first suggests that the boundaries and limits of
each state ought to be fuUy and finally fixed and made known as a means
of preventing jealomsies and controversies and promoting harmony and
confidence among the states. If this could not be done before the pro-
posal of confederation, the principles ought to be established beforehand
upon which the determination might be conducted at an early period, not

exceeding five years from the final ratification of the confederation. The
New Jersey reference to the meaning of " territory " in the prohibitive
clause inquires
■Whether we are to understand that by territory is intended any land, the prop-
erty of which was heretofore vested in the crown of Great Britiln, or that no
mention of such land is made in the confederation, we are constrained to ob-
sene, that the present war, as we always apprehended, was nndertal;en for the
general defence and interest of the confederating colonies, now the United
States. It was ever the confident expectation of this state, that the benefit? de-
rived from a successful contest were to be general and proportionate: and that
the property of the common enemy, falling in consequence of a pnwperous issue
of the war, would belong to the United States, and be appropriatol to their use.
We are therefore greatly disappointed in finding no provision msde in the con-
federation for empowering the Congress to dispose of such property, but espe-
cially the vacant and impatented lands, commonly called the crown lands, for
defraying the expenses of the war, and for such other pnblick and general pur-
poses. The jurisdiction ought in every instance to belong to the respective
states within the charter or determined limits of which such lands may be
seated ; but reason and justice must decide, that the property which existed in
the crown of Great Britain, previous to the present revolution, ought now to
belong to the Congress, in trust for the use and benefit of the United States.
They have fought and bled for it in proportion to their respective abilities ; and
therefore the reward ought not to be predilectionally distributed. Shall snch
states as are shut out by situation from avaiUng themselves of the least advan-
tage from this quarter, be left to sink under an enormous debt, whBe others are
enabled, in a short period, to replace all their exjwnditures from the hard earn-
ings of the whole confederacy?
The dignified form of the New Jersey objections, to say nothing of their
serious import, deserved from Congress the most careful consideration of
the several points raised against the articles of confederation ; but the docn-
ment, apparently, received even less attention than was accorded to others
of much scantier significance. The representation was adopted at Tren-
ton on the 16th of June. It was laid before Congress in the canvas of
objections on Tuesday, June 23, and taken into consideration on Thursday.
Upon the reading of the paper it was moved " that the several articles in
the confederation referred to in the foregoing representation be so far re-
considered as to admit the purport and meaning of the additions, alter-
ations and amendments proposed." There was no discussion of the motion
nor of the merits of the separate items. They were not debated seriatim
as in the case of other states. The entire set of nine objections was cast
out by a single blanket motion to reconsider, on which the record stands :
" Question put, Passed in the negative. Three ayes, six noes, one divided-"
Tiiis rapid manner of disposing of objections brought the congreesional
canvas of returns from the thirteen states to a close by night of the third
session,'" but the confederation was not concluded with the expedition
planned. Not one objection had been sustained. The plan as finished in
November was enacted without change in June. All that remained was
ratification by subscriptions in Congress to the Act of Confederasion at the
hands of the authorized delegates of the respective states. Preparations
were made speedily for accomplishing this in a ceremonious manner. The
4th of July was approaching, and Congress had ordered adjournment to
Philadelphia, where on the sabbath day they were to appear in a body in
church, and participate in the celebration planned for the second anniver-
sary of the birth of indej)endence. Confederation might well be oancluded
on the natal day. But there were slips in the programme. The aot of con-
federation and form of ratification agreed upon were elegantly engrossed
'"There was no confederation business in Congress, WednesdaT, June 24.
178 First Ownership of Ohio Lands [April
on a roll of parchment, with spaces ruled in double column for signatures
of states in geographical order. The parchment " was laid before- congress
Saturday, June 27, but the same upon examination being found incorrect,
it was ordered that another copy be made, and laid before congress on or
before the 4th of July next." In the confusion of adjournment, or for
other reason, the day passed without the subscriptions, and the signatures
were not called for until the 9th day of July, in the third year of inde-
pendence.
But these were merely temporary interruptions, the eerions difBculty de-
veloped at the ceremony of subscription. Eight states ratified the act of
confederation, spaces for five state signatures remained vacant on the roll.
Delegates of four states waived objections, disregarding specific instruc-
tions from their constituency, and signed the engrossment. North Carolina
and Georgia, whose legislatures had voted to ratify, did not sign the roll as
" they were not at this time represented in congress." When called upon
to endorse the parchment as others had done " the delegates from the state
of New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland informed congress that they had
not yet received powers to ratify and sign." " So the ceremony failed, and
confederation was doomed to wait while Congress took measures for per-
snading the refractory legislatures. A committee was ordered to prepare
a circular letter to the backward states,- " informing them how many and
what states have already ratified, and desiring that they will authorize their
delegates to ratify the confederation with aU convenient despatch-"
The second appeal of congress, issued under date of July 10, 1778, re-
peats the plea of immediate necessity of confederation, so earnestly employed
in the November address. "Influenced by considerations so poweriful,
and duly weighing the difficulties . . . Congress have, after mature delib-
eration, agreed to adopt without amendments the confederation transmitted
to the several states for their approbation. The states of New Hampshire,
Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecti-
cut, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina" and South Caro-
lina, have ratified the same, and it remains only with your state to con-
clude the glorious compact . . . trusting to future deliberations to make
such alterations and amendments, as experience may show to be expedient
and just."
Two of the remaining states complied with this request, but not with-
out considerable reluctance. New Jersey acted November 20, and Dela-
ware on the 1st of February following. Coupled with the official instruc-
tions issued to the delegates of these states were resolutions of the respective
legislatures, in almost the same words, disapproving of the articles of con-
federation " as imequal and disadvantageous to this state ; " declaring " the
objections lately stated and sent to the general congress are still viewed as
just and reasonable, and sundry of them as of the most essential moment to
the welfare and happiness of the good people of the state ; " and protesting
that they ratified " under the full conviction of the present necessity of
acceding to the confederacy proposed, and of postpoiung every separate
and detached state interest to the general good of the union, and, more-
over, in firm reliance that the candour and justice of the several states, will

The objections mentioned in the Delaware protrtt were adopted by the
legi-lature a few days previous to the passage of the powers of ratification.
It was then rather late for objection, but Delaware had been slow in deal-
ing with the plan, which was not taken up by the council at Dover until
the 3d of December, 1778. At that time the second call for speedy ratifi-
cation was also in hand. Still there was d-lay to accommodate the Senate
which " was desirous of knoning the sentiments of the people on a subject
so materially affecting their interests." Objections were formulated and
adojited, and a few days later the resoluiions of ratification were pa.ssed.
Thus there were two sets of resolutions on confederation forwarded as cre-
dentials to the delegates of Delaware ; first, the objections of January 28,
which were directed against the hind pohcy on the same basis as the Mary-
land objections, and se<;ond, the powers for ratification issued to the dele-
gates with the protest of February 1. l"he presentation of the Delaware
credentials caused a stir in Congress. The powers for ratification were
lodged with the secretary February 16. 1779, and the roll was signed for
Delaware on February 22d. The following day the delegate of Delaware
laid before congress the objections to the articles of confederation declaring
in favor of absolute national control of the western limits of the claimant
states ; and national disposition of the extensive tract of coimtry which lies
to tlie westward of the frontiers of the United States. On which it was
Resolved, That the paper laid before congress by the delegate of Delaware
and read, be filed ; provided, that it shaU never be considered as admitting any
claim by the same set up or intended to be set np."
Meanwhile the signatory states waited with more or less impatience for
the disaffected ones to close the circle of confederacy and put an end to the
growing embarrassment of congress. The open disc-ord among the states
and the uncertainty of their confederating were regarded as the principiU
causes of the prolonging of the war. Alost of the blame for die delay
rested on JIaryland, but Virginia, whose pretendons had excited the first
criticism, did not escape censure. Agitation of the land question gave the
Virginians much concern, as die delay in confederating interfered \vith
certain plans of the commonwealth respecting the back lands. Already
the Old Dominion had moved to occupy their ultra-montane claims. At
this critical moment large grants of lands were being made by the Virginia
Assembly to speculators, and wide areas in the disputed territory designated
for distribution exclusively to the Virginia soldiery. ^Vhilst the eleventh
state was still pondering on this point o: union, and mthout the slightest
consideration for the rights of other claimants, Virginia assumed sole pos-
session of everything westward of the Ohio River, and passed an act extend-
ing the dominion of the commonwealth, in setting up a sui>administration
across the Ohio, to the uncertain limits of the Illinois. Further delay in
the Union of states might imperil these ambitious enterprises. The time
had come to force the obstructing members to the terms of confederation.
Thus conceiving, the Virginia assembly issued instrucuoas to their delegates
in Congress to jiropose a pardal confederacy " of so many states as shall be
willing." Such a scheme seemed certain to bring in the procrastinators, or
it might, perchance, result in the dissolution of the last refractory state,
and the possible distribution of the Calvert domain among the abutUng
"The division on this motion shows Xew Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland voting
together in the negative. Mr. Goiivernenr Morris, i delegate of New Turk, voted no

colonies. This act passed the assembly, December 18, 1778, but it was
not made public in Congress for several months. It was followed, April 7.
after Delaware's ratification, by powers issued to the Connecticut delegates
to accede to a confederation of twelve states, omitting Maryland. This ac-
tion also was kept from the records, although known imoflSciaUy. Evidently
it was the plan to bring these acts into operation at a favorable moment.
But Maryland was prepared. Early in December she took action that
turned public approval in her favor, shifted the burden of blame to Virginia,
and made the first advance towards surrender of the territorial lands claim
beyond the Ohio.

Kev. George Hodges, D.D., D.C.L., Dean of the Episcopal Theological School,
Cambridge, read a paper on The Hanging of Mary Dfer, in which he told the
story of her life from the time when she openly expressed sympathy with Anne
Hutchinson, then suffering under the displeasure of the authorities, to her death
on Boston Common at the Old Elm, a death she son^t as a protest against the
law and against the spirit that prompted it.
Rev. Anson Titus spoke on the evidence as to the Quakers in the files of Suf-
folk County, though many of the papers through neglect have become illegible.
Upon his motiop a vote was psissed tendering the thanks of the Society to Dean
Hodges for reading his paper, including a request for a ccqiy of It for the archives
of the Society.
Rev. Thomas WilliMn Sillowly stated tbat the tree now growing on the site
of the Old Ehn is not a scion of that tree, as the edoa, which was growing
before the Old Elm was blown down in IS76, was moved to another place, and
the present tree planted.
An intermission was then taken and refreshments woe served. On the re-
sumption of business, Mr. Cunningham presided at the request of President
Baxter.
The reports of the Librarian, the Histoman and the Connca were severally
read, accepted, and ordered on file.

. The minutes of the December meeting were read and approved as records.
Worthington Chauncey Ford, A.M., of B<wton, read a paper entitled Massa-
chusetts Bay and its foreign relations, 1630-1650, in which he showed that the
first settlers were not isolated but In a centre of great activity. He analyzed
the relations existing with other peoples aod other nations and explained how
essential is the understanding of the trade relations in studying the history of
these early decades.
President Baxter told of finding among the English Records a petition, dated
about 1640, asking that the exportation of wool cards to the colonies be prohib-
ited. On this the law officer had made the endorsement that " Englishmen
carry their rights with them," and that the petition was therefore denied.

184 Proceedings of the N. E. Hist. Gen. Society [April
On motion of William Carver Bates it was
Voted,— Tha-t the thanks of the Society be estended to Mr. Ford for the en-
joyment derired from his reading of this paper, and that if the paper he in print,
a copy be reqaested for the use of the Society.
After an intermission for refreshments, on the resumption of business, Mr.

Reports of the Corresponding Secretarj', Librarian, Historian, and Council
were severally read, accepted, and ordered on file.
The list of candidates for membership was read, and a ballot ordered taken,
by which eight resident members were elected.
The committee in memoriam George Sumner Mann through its Chairman,
Charles F. Head, offered the following report which was accepted, ordered
spread upon the minutes, and a copy to be sent to the family of Mr. Mann :
The New England Historic Genealogical Society desires to enter on its records an
appreciation of the life and services of George Sumner Mann, a member, who died at
bis home in Brookline, Mass., October 27, 1909, at the a^e of seventy-five years.
Mr. Mann was a Boston merchant for many years, ana retired from business in 1878
to devote his time to the care of trust property and real estate.
Becoming interested in the study of genealogy, he compiled and published in 1884
the Mann Memorial, which is a record of the descendants of Richard Mann.
It was, therefore, natural that he should become interested in the New England
Historic Genealogical Society. He was elected a life member in 1881 and served on
several important committees, and was a member of the Conncil of'the Society from
1897 to 1899.
He was an interested and valued member, and bj his excellent advice and connsel
added much to the material welfare of the Society.
The report of the Committee on the Old Elm w4s read by William Carver
Bates, the chairman, and on motion of Walter Kendall Watkins, It was
Voted, — That the report be accepted, that a copy be sent to the City Cooncil
of Boston with a request that stone monoments be placed at the trees, as recom-
mended, and that the report be sent to the Committee on Publications for publi-
cation in the Registkr.
Rev. Thomas William Silloway read a letter from Hon. Thomas N. Hart, for-
merly Mayor of Boston, confirming the statonents in the report.
A supplemental report of the Nominating Committee was accepted.
The meeting then dissolved.
By John Albkee, Recording Secretary
26 January. The annnal meeting of the Society was held this day, agreeable
to article 1, chapter m, of the By-laws; for a report of which see the Supple-
ment to the present number of the Register.
2 February. A stated meeting of the Society was held at Pilgrim HaU, 14
Beacon Street, at 2.30 p. m.. President Baxter presiding.
The minutes of the meeting of January 5th and of the annnal meeting were
read and approved.
Rev. Charles Edwards Park, minister of the First Chnrch, Boston, read a pa-
per entitled Two Ruling Elders of the First Church in Boston, Thomas Leverett
ajid Thomas Oliver. After showing that the purpose of the founders of the
Colony was to reproduce here the church of Apostolic times with the Book of
Acts and the Pauline Epistles as the infallible mle, the speaker described its
development in the manner adopted for the choice of chnrch officials and for de-
fining their duties. This was further illustrated in the lives of Leverett and
Oliver.
On motion it was
Voted,— That the thanks of the Society be extended to Rev. Mr. Park for the
pleasure and the instruction derived from his paper, with a request that the his-
torical material he had presented might be made available in permanent form.
After the usual intermission for refreshments, the meeting was again called
to order and the reports of the Corresponding Secretary, the Libi-arian, the
Historian and the Council were severally accepted.

shire Parish Registers," vol. ST,.coiajuning " Marriages at Thombnry," England,
recently issued by Phlllimore & Co. of London, show that Jane the mother of
Margery Wheeller (who married Tfaomias Tayer and came to New England) was
Jane Shepherd, and that she married Abel Whillar. or Wheeller, at Thornbury
15 Jan. 1588 ; also that William Mortimer's " late wife Margaret " was probably
the Margaret Groome who married WiUiam Martimore, or Mortimer, at Thorn-
bury 21 Apr. 1623, and consequently not the mother of his daughter Dorothy
(who married Richard Tayer the emigrant to New England).
It is interesting to note, apropos of the mention of John Hemminge of the

HoBBS, Page.— The following mensoranda from tlie Register of St Bartholo-
mew's Parish Church, Crewkeme, eo. Somerset, may be worth preserving.
They were sent me by my friend, Sir Robert White-Thomson, of Broomford
Manor, in Devon, who had the Crewkeme register examined for me; and,
though not legally attested, are signed by John England, Parish Clerk. A com-
parison of them with the will of ColL Nicholas I^jge of Rnmney Marsh will
show that,beyond reasonable doobt, Ridiard and Elizabeth Hobbes of Crewkeme
were the parents of Sarah Hobbes, seeiwd wife of Capt. John Gerrish of Boston,
and of Martha Hobbes, wife of Natbasiei-Oliver.
" Richard Hobbes & Elizabeth Page were married in the Parish Church, June
13th, 1G71.
" The following children of above Bicbard and Elizabeth Hobbes were Bap-
tized:
John July 11th 1673
Margaret Oct 20 1674 [The Margaret Ferguson of Col. Paige's wHI. B. W.]
Sarah Nov. 14th 1676 [Mrs. John Jorish, of Boston. Married, I think, at
Rnmney Marsh. The reoHd of date is lost. B.W.]
Elizabeth Oct 4th, 1683."
A subsequent note from Crewkeme, in Uie handwriting of the clerk, reads :
" Have found the following entry : Jsmes Hatter and Late wife of Nicholas
Paige married Sept 20 1567 "
This clearly shows that the ancestors of Colonel Nicholas Paige of Rumnej
Marsh were resident in Crewkeme, Somerset, in the time of Queen Elizabeth.

Bowman, Forbosh. — Attention is drawn to the fact that the Westborongh,
Mass., Vital Records give the marriage of James Bowman and Thankful For-
bush on 16 Mar. 1731, and the births of *I1 the children of James and Thankful.
In Bond's History of Watertown, this Damage and these children are credited
to Josepft Bowman, thj elder brother, botii sons of Joseph,' Francis,* Nathaniel.'
Mr. F. C. Pierce in his Forbush Genealogy, 1892, page 25, copies Bond's state-
ment.
The following papers were found in the Worcester probate records :
1. Administration on estate of James Bowman of Westborough ; bond dated
15 Feb. 1762 ; his son Joseph appointed administrator ; no mention of widow.
2. Guardianship of Thankful, daught«- of James Bowman, aged 11 years;
bond is dated 28 April 1764 ; Solomon Mstiiis guardian.
These seem to corroborate the statement that it was James and not Joseph
Bowman who married Thankful Forbush- Solomon Mathis married, in 1758,

Hale, Dowsett, Kirbt, Cra>'fieij). — "This completes the record of the
English origin and connections of the emigrant Thomas* Hale of Newbury, so
far as known or likely ever to be known. . . . The maiden name, parentage and
birth-place of Thomasine, wife of Thomas' Hale, are all undiscovered, and like-
ly to remain so, unless by accidental discovery through some records of her
own family." Thus wrote the historian of the Hale family, the late Hon. Eobert
S. Hale of Elizabethtown, N. Y., in 1881 (ride ante, vol. 35, p. 375) .
The following item, which adds the maiden name and date of marriage of
Thomasine, was brought to my attention a year or two ago by that veteran of
English research, Henry F. Waters :
" 1632 Dec. 11 Thomas Hall of Watton, apud Stone, Co. Hertford, glover and
Thomazin Dowsett, maiden ; p. lycense " (Eegisters of St. Helen's, Bishops-
gate, London, Harl. Soc., p. 133, Marriages).
The conclusions of the family historian are still further upset by the follow-
ing Items taken from the marriage records of Watton as publish^ in volume
n of Phillimore's Hertfordshire Parish Registers marriages.
"Thomas Haille&JoaneKirbie 19 Oct. 1601 " (p. 87).
" John Kirbie & Joane CranfeUde 23 Dec. 1576 " (p. 86) .
These records add the date of marriage of Thomas' Hale's parents, the date
of marriage of his maternal grandparents, supply the Christian name of the ma-
ternal g^randfather, and the maiden name of the maternal grandmother.

her thither and discharged his duty to her not only in that of a kind Unkle, but
a good Christian & tender Father. By all reports, he was a man of great wis-
dom, exemplary piety, and peculiar sweetness of temper."
"As for my much honored Grand-Mother I believe few if any merited more
the character of a virtuous woman, according as she is described by the wise
man, in Proverbs Chap. 37 from verse the lO"" to the end. There be yet living
some worthy persons who were well acquainted with her. and who can say, that
nothwithstanding all the calamities that befel them from the tyranny of cruel
persecutors, and other common accidents of life, she remained during her life,
which was to the age of sixty a crown to her husband and the glory of him and
his family to the day of her death. As to her person I well remember her she
was of middle stature, comely aspect and something so graceful in her speech
and behaviour, that at all times she commanded both love and awe. She was
the wife only of one man. As she was in my Grandfathers life time so she
remained after his death, well reported for good works."
This letter is dated 15 Nov. 1738. Ann Bolton the author, bom 15 Nov. 1690,
was the daughter of Winlock Curtis and Ann Bowers (daughter of Benannel
Bowers and wife Elizabeth Dunster) . She married first, 16 Dec. 1710, Robert
Clay who was lost at sea in 1716. She then married Bobert Bolton, 19 Feb.
1721, and died 6 May, 1747. This letter of hers does not agree with ttie Ebgis-
TER account tn the following respects :
1. Mrs. Bolton well remembers her grandmother who, if she was baptized 15
July 1632, died about 1692, when Mrs. Bolton was about two years old.
2. Mrs. Bolton says her grandmother outlived her grandfather who is supposed
to have died in May 1698.
3. President Dunster in his will calls her " cousin Bowers," cousin, however,
at that time often meaning other degrees of relationship.
Perhaps the author of the article in the Bbgisteb may be able to reconcile it
with this one written so many years ago. W. Nelson Mathew.
117 East Mt. Pleasant Avenue, Philadelpkia, Pa.
[Note.— From the above diary it would seem that Elizabeth (Dnnster) Bowers was a
niece of President Danster. As she married Bowers in 1653 it is eitremely anlikely that
she was bom after 1637. The most likely chance woald be that she was a daughter of
Robert* Dunster (brother of the president) and bora between the date of his second
marriage, 27 Sept. 1636, and the <^te of baptism of his daughter Bethia, 9 Dec. 1638.
If so she would have been a sister of Faith (Danster) Page, also called " cousin " by
the president. Of the other brothers of the president, Richard Dunster, bapt. 23 Mar.
1616-17, must have married at 19 to have been her Cither ; and we infer from the letter
of President Dunster's father in 1640 that the children of Thomas Danster were then
all dead.
It does not appear certain at just what time between 1693 and 1698 Benanuel Bowers
died. If he lived to May 1698 his wife must hare attained to a greater age than 60 in
order to have survived him J. G. Bahtlbtt.]
Smtths op Chatham, Mass. — The records of the Congregational Church at
Chatham, Mass., were burned in 1861, when the parsonage was destroyed, and
no copy of them is knovrn to exist. The following extracts from these records,

Eegistek Vagakies. — In connection with the use of the Indei of Persons in
Tolume 1 to 50 of the Register, the discovery was made of a second edition of
the January 1850 number of the Begisteb (vol. 4), with results seriously affect- '
ing the indexing of pages 19 to U, inclusive, The Index of Persons was based
on the first edition— hence ap;»rent errors of reference so far as the second
edition is concerned. The addition of new material to Nash's "Records of Say-
brook, Ct.," beginning on page 19, and inserted without any reference to the
fact, is responsible for the trouble.
In the first edition the " Records of Saybrook, Ct.," • end on page 21 ; in the
second on page 22. In the first edition '• First Ancestor of the Chipmans in N.
England " begins on page 22 ; in the second on page 23. The " Letter of Henry
Wolcott," ''appearing on page 23 of the first edition, is omitted entirely from
the second edition. The space left on page 21 of the^rst edition is occupied
by " Additions and Corrections to the First Settlers of Barnstable," « while in
the second edition it is taken by the " Epitaph of Stephen Farrar."*
The following list of persons includes those additional names appearing In

data of the family. He solicits correspondence.
Eaton Family Association. — Owing to deaths among its officers the associa-
tion has become inactive. With the idea of reviving it Mr. Amos H. Eaton,
Middleborough, Mass., desires to correspond with those interested in the asso-
ciation's existence.
Baktlett. — Mrs. Sarah D. Cropley, Marblefaead, Mass., Is preparing a Bart-
lett Family Pedigree. This family shows descent from Capt. Robert Bartlett of
Frampton, Eng., Dunstable and Marblehcaid. Mass. The pedigree will record
notes of connected families of Adams, Andrews. Barker. Cruff (Craft), Deacon,
Dennis, Diamond, Fetterplace, Gridler, Green, Hooper, Malcom, Nicholson. Par-
ker, Pearce (Pierce), Pitman, Proctor, Bead (Reade), Boals, Stevens, Trefry,

History of King's Coijnty, N. S.— Rev. Arthur Wentworth Hamilton Eaton,
D. C. L., is to publish '• The History of Kind's Connty, Nova Scotia," this spring.
The work, which will run to about 700 paiges, wUl contain a large amount of
genealogical information of interest to both Americans and Nova Scotians. For
particulars address the author, care of the Salem Press Company, Salem, Mass.
Essex County Cockt Records.— The Essex Institute proposes to publish
the records and files of the Quarterly Courts of Essex County, Massachusetts,
provided a suflif lent number of subscriptions l)e secured to warrant the imder-
taking. These records, and the accompanying flies contaming the abstracts of
testimony, depositions, and other papers used in the original trials, date from
1634, and are of Inestimable value to the historian, genealogist and sociologist.
This collection of original manuscripts, so intimately picturing the manners and
customs of New Eugland life during the Ctilonial period, is by far the most ex-
tensive of its kind in existence and because of its inaccessibility, the absence of
indexes, save for a short period, and the faci that it remains practically unknown,
little use has been made of its wealth of material. The historian will tind in the
depositions and testimony a vivid picture of life and social conditicms in the
earliest times foUowLng the settlement, while the records of each successive Court
192 . JSTotes [AprU
illustrate the development of the Colony and the Province. The genealogist
and biographer will soon appreciate the fact that nearly every person In the
Colony at some time came before the various Courts as plaintiff, defendant, or
witness. The depositions usually preserve the age and occupation of tlie depo-
nents and oftentimes show family connections, while not infrequently the Eng-
lish origin appears. The lawyer will find interesting matter relating to the
Court and its procedure, and also to the development of practice and testimony.
It is proposed to publish these records in abstracted form in which every es-
sential particular is retained. They will be issued, a volume a year, in octavo
volumes, each containing over five hundred pages of text, with an exhaustive
index of names, places, and subjects. For a prospectus, printed on the quality
of paper to be used, and specimen pages showing the size of the printed page,
the style of type, and the nature and arrangement of the subject matter, address
The Essex Institute, Salem, Mass.
Gekbalogees dj Preparation. — Persons of the several names are advised to
furnish the compilers of these genealogies with records of their own families
and other information which they think may be useful. We would suggest that
all facts of interest illustrating family history or character be communicated,
•specially service under theU. S. Government, the holding of other offices, grad-
uation from college or professional schools, occupation, with places and dates
of birth, marriage, residence, and death. All names should be given in full if
possible. No initials should be used when the full name is known.

194 Book Notices [April
All the information that the author has been able to collect concerning the
family at large has been incorporated with his early biographical sketches of
the family and is presented in this single volume. The remarkable collection of
portraits and views of the homesteads of the family fills two hundred pages.
The genealogy starts with Thomas, 1630-1713, of Charlestown and Cambridge,
Mass., and through his sons Thomas and John the family is carried on and
traced from Maine to Wisconsin, a record which indicates considerable labor
and research, although the author modestly apologizes in the preface for the in-
completeness of his work. The biographical sketches are unusually full, that
of Mr. C. B. FUlebrown giving an extended account of his activities in the Sin-
gle Tax League. The volume, printed on heavy paper, is indexed, and furnished
with an appropriate binding in brown cloth.
The Frost family in England and America, teith special reference to Edmund
Frost and some of his descendants, by Thomas G. Frost, Ph.D., LL.D., and
Edwakd L. Frost, M.D. Buffalo [N. Y.], EusseU Printing Company, 1909.
8" pp. 165+12, illus.
The pedigrees of the Frost families found In Suffolk, Norfolk, and Yorkshire,
England, are given in Part One of this genealogy, which received the direction
of Thomas G. Frost. Part Two gives an account of nine generations of the
descendants of Edmund Frost of Cambridge, in 1635, and was compUed by Dr.
Edward L. Frost. Biographical sketches of interest to the families of John
Edward Frost, Thomas Gold Frost, William George Frost, Dan Frost, and Ed-
ward L. Frost, comprise the third part of this genealogy. The book is indexed,
contains an unusual number of portraits, and wUl be useful to many people, as
this particular branch of the Frost family has seemed to receive but scant atten-
tion heretofore.
Ancestry and descendants of Josiah Hale, fifth in descent from Samuel Hale of
Hartford, Conn., 1637 ; to which is added an appendix showing other lines of
descent, compUed by Oscab Fttzat.an Hale. Rutland, Vt., The Tuttle Com-
pany, Printers, 1909. 8° pp. 133, iUus.
The work of collecting this record of the descendants of Samael Hale, who
settled in Hartford, Conn., in 1637, was begun, as the compiler states in the
preface, with the intention of getting in closer touch with the various lines of
descent. A " Relationship Chart," originated by Mr. Hale, is also added to the
genealogy, with careful directions for finding the nearest common ancestor and
thereby discovering the closest degree of consanguinity. The Register plan Is
used in arranging the material. The volume is a good example of book-making,
being clearly printed, indexed, and well bound In crimson cloth.
The Descendants of Rev. Thomas Hooker, Hartford, Conn., 1S86-1908, by Ed-
ward Hooker, Commander, U. S. N. Edited by Margaret Huntington
Hooker. [E. R. Andrews Company, Rochester, N. Y., 1909.] 8" pp. 558.
This large genealogy, recording more than five thousand descendants of this
famous New England preacher, is a fine specimen of careful, accurate, pains-
taking labor, and the many who knew that material for such a publication was
being collected by the late Commander Hooker (whose blindness compelled him
to leave the work incompleted) wUl be glad indeed to see the finished product.
The arrangement of the genealogy is very similar to the Register plan. The
biographical sketches are concise paragraphs of well-condensed facts. The
book is indexed, printed handsomely on heavy paper, and bound in half morocco,
making a volume on which the editor is to be congratulated.

Family record of our line, of descent from Maj. John Mason of Xoncich, Conn.,
bj- Theodoee West Mas'os. New York, The Grafton Press, 1909. 8° pp.'59+8,
nins.
Tne military service performed by John Mason in the English army fitted him
for his duties in New England, where he was a successful Indian fighter, the
comjmandant of the fort at Saybrook, Conn., and Deputy-Governor and Assistant
at Norwich. The Ime is traced through his youngest "son, Daniel Mason, bom
in 1C^2 at Saybrook, and then througli the latter's son, Daniel, who married
Dorothy, daughter of Rev. Jeremiah Hobart of Haddam, Conn. The biographical
sketches are very well filled out, and will be of especial interest to the family.
The illustration is a photographic reproduction of the statue erected in memory
of Maj. John Mason at Pequot Hill, Mystic, Conn.

Jc*n Paybody, who came to Plymouth as early as 1636 but soon settled in
Darfwry, mentioned three sons in his will, Thomas, Francis, and William. No
recoid of Thomas has been found. Two-thirds of this work is devoted to the
descendants of Francis Peabody of Ipswich, Mass., of whom the author says
that tiongh there is no documentary evidence for the theory that Francis of
Ipswich was the son of John of Duxbury, that theory has been acted on in this
wort The descendants of William of Duxbury occupy about one bondred
pagess and there is some account of the Newport, Dartmouth, and New London
familfles. The English research recently made by the editor is also reported.
Among the illustrations is a portrait of George Peabody, the philanthropist, and

" First American Family connected with New England 1614-1909 " is the sub-
title found on the cover. This has reference to Dr. Sutcliffe, Dean of Exeter,
who was associated with Sir Ferdinando Gorges and interested in Capt. John
Smith's exploration of the New England coast, which Smith described in his
letter of 1614 addressed to the " Adventurers for the country of New England,"
and contaming direct mention of Dr. Sutcliffe. Abraham Sutliff, the emigrant
ancestor, was of Plymouth and Scituate, Mass. The line is carried through
Abraliam, Jr., and Nathaniel, Sr., to Nathaniel, Jr., of Deerfleld, Mass., and Dur-
ham, Conn., whose descendants are enumerated to the number of two thousand
and more in this volume. A genealogy of the descendants of John, the brother

Attractive, well-compiled, and useful, this accomit of a family of early Eng-
lish origin is presented in a scholarly manner, and is clearly arranged in a style
similar to the Register plan. The statements made are the results of research
among original records of good authority, and eight generations of the Ameri-

Connecticut, are found to be scattered throughout the United States and Canada.
A view of the Wictwar Parish Church, built in Gloucestershire about 1300, heads

The electric railway and the old stase coach have met in Brimfleld, to the
vanquishing of the latter, which for'nearlv ststv years had transported the
United States mails and carried passengers to and from Brimfleld, east and
west. The different routes which led through the town and the fascination of
tracing the old abandoned roads, the stage driver, and the characteristics of
some of the towns and villages through which the coach passed, are some of
the topics treated here. The book is LLlnstrated with many charming views.

editor, Gardiner, Me.
Every volume of vital records from the State of Maine is a boon to genealo-
gists and equally welcome to every son and daughter of that community. It
is also gratifying to those who are interested in the preservation of such val-
uable records to see that a state sufficiently appiwriates its treasures to assist in
firinting them, but it Is to be regretted that a larger appropriation cannot be
made under this act (which places the maximum at tive hundred dollars). As
the state takes five hundred copies of any volume of vital records at one cent
per page, it would seem as if larger towns, who;e records must amount to more
than one hundred printed pages, would be deprived of the benefit of the act.
The volume reflects great credit on its editor, who has added information found
in chnrch, grave, and private records.

Charming as Mrs. Nason's books always are. a particularly rich and happy
vein of pleasure seems to have been struck by her delving into the history of
this remarkable town, of which the late John Ward Dean said that '• There
was here a state of society that can never t* reproduced." The story of the
progress of the town from the time of its earliest settlement to its incorpora-
tion as a city in 1852 is well described, and much attention is given to biograph-
ical sketches. There is a good collection of fuil-page half-tone iUiistraiions,

records of advancement in this industrial pursuit in New York City were made
until after 1783. The text is well illustrated by views of vessels of difierent
periods, and a record is given of some of the prominent clipper ships that sailed

intimate account of the domestic life of that generation whose traditions and
customs have passed eutirely away. It is to such faithful and sincere memo-
rials that the historians of the future will turn to gain a true picture of one of
the most formative stages in the development of American society. Technically
the book gives keen pleasure, because of its make-up and the excellence of the
Ulnstrations. It will delight any reader, for the narrative Ls told sunply and
frankly, with ft dignified charm well in keeping with the upright, helpful, cheer-
ful life which it portrays.

Starting with the purpose of proving that Abraham Lincolj was not of Ger-
man descent (a theory that had gained such general acceptance among the Gfer-
mans of America as to give rise to German poetry on Lincoln the German
President) this scholarly, documentary treatise not only establishes the English
orisin of the family unquestionably (also giving reference to the Ancestry of
Abraham Lincoln, by J Henry Lea, for a complete genealogy V but also makes
a careful sclentiic srndy of the migrations of the Lincoln family. This lamily
the author considers one of the most typical and significant in American history.
as the motive pr.nmptlng every new move reflects in each instance an imr'.irtant
fact in the history of our early settlements. A map showing the progression
of these pioneer senlers, numerous illustrations, and an index increase tie use-
fulness of this volume which has real historical value.

FRANCIS OLCOTT ALLEN
By James Allen Kibbe of Warehouse Point, Conn.
Fraxcis Olcott Allen was bom in Hartford, Connecticut, 14
March 1840, and died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 3 December
1909. He married in Cliicago, Illinois, 7 October 1862, Isabelle
C. Jones, who died in Pliiladelphia 21 December 1868. His second
marriage, in Philadelphia 10 November 1870, was to Elizabeth
Horner Dulles, who belonged to a prominent and wealthy family
from Charleston, South Carolina. SLs children were born to him,
three by each marriage. These in the order of birth were Harris
Hall, who died at the age of four months ; Clarence Jones, bom 7
June 1865, now in the insurance business in Milwaukee, Wis-
consin ; Bessie Cynthia, killed at the age of twenty-two years in a
railroad accident atQuincy, Massachusetts, 19 August 1890, as was
her father's mother; Margaret Dulles, born 14 May 1872, married
Josiah H. Barton, a Philadelphia banker ; Francis Olcott, bom 15
October 1874, a graduate of Princeton, resident physician at the
Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia ; Joseph Heatly Dulles, bom
11 February 1879, a graduate of Princeton, proprietor of the En-
field Stock Farm at Laverock, near Philadelphia, and designer and
manufacturer of ornamental tiles.
Mr. Allen was in the eighth generation from Samuel' Allen of
Windsor, Connecticut, through his son John' who was killed at the
battle or massacre of Bloody Brook, South Deerfield, Massachusetts,
18 September 1675, lea^-ing two sons, John^ and Samuel, both of
whom settled in Enfield, Connecticut. From this Jolm,' who came
to Enfield in 1696, the subject of this sketch is descended through
Azariah,' Moses,* Moses,' and Olcott.' In that town Mr. Allen's
father, Olcott Allen, was born, reared, and twice married. His
mother, Lucy Ann (Parsons) Allen, was also of a pioneer Enfield
family. Thi-ee or four years before the bu-th of Francis Olcott
Allen, hia father removed to Hartford, Connecticut, where he became
a widely-kno\vn business man, and for many years treasurer of the
Society for Savings, commonly known as the Pratt Street tarings
bank.
The son went to school in Hartford, to the Willistou Seminary at
East Hampton, Massachusetts, and entered Yale College in the class
VOL. LXIV. 15
204 Francis Olcott Allen 'July
of 18G2, but owing to ill health had to abandon his ftudie^ t:>efore
graduating. In Hartford, under the care of his most excellent
father, tlie son grew to manhood and began hie business life. After
several ventures in other directions he made insurance his principal
business. His choice will not seem strange if we bear in mind that
Hartford is pre-eminently an insurance city. He removed to Phila-
delphia in the early part of his business career, and there for many
years was manager of the American and Foreign Fire Insurance
Company, retiring from business in 1892 in somewhat impaired
health. His active life did not make him notoriously rich, but en-
abled him to retire with a satisfactory competence, which couJd not
have been placed in better hands. He had also gained and kept the
respect and confidence of his fellow men.
The Presbyterian Church, of which Mr. Allen was a member,
honored hiTii with the office of elder, and made him a director in its
Boai-d of ilinisterial Relief, and in many other ways showed its
trust in him. He was a member of the following societies, holding
office in most of them : New England Historic Genealogical So-
ciety (life member), Connecticut Historical Society (life member),
Pennsylvania Historical Society, New Hampshire Historical Society,
Pennsylvania Genealogical Society, Society of ilayflower Descend-
ants, Society of Sons of the Revolution, Society of Colonial Wars,
and the New Hampshire Society of the Cincinnati.
Sir. Allen was an enthusiastic genealogist, but utterly refused to
accept imsupported assertions and vain traditions, demanding chap-
ter and verse from the record ; or, failing that, he would only accept
such evidence as seemed satisfactory to him, regardless of what oth-
ers had asserted. This characteristic came out strongly in his long
and expensive search for the facts as to Samuel Allen of Windsor,
who died there and was buried 28 April 1648, and about whom
many incorrect things had been stated and printed. The latest and
best results of this search can be foimd in Orrin Peer Allen's " De-
scendants of Samuel Allen of Windsor, Conn.," published in 1907
and dedicated to the subject of this memoir.
His best gift to the genealogical world is his documentary '' His-
tory of Enfield, Conn.," in three volumes. No other town, except
Boston, has in print a record so extensive and complete. It is not
a narrative history but a literal transcript of the records. He also
inserted in this work, as an introduction, the crude eftbrt of John C.
Pease to write a history of Enfield. This history also contains fifty-
eight pages on the almost forgotten Strict Congregational or Separate
Church of New England, from documents that are rare and practi-
caUv inaccessible, but which be collected or transcribed with much
patient labor. It is perhaps the best accoimt of the principles of this
church to be found in print.
~^h:. Allen's whole life was correct and honorable, and his death
leaves a large place to be filled. He was a kind-hearted, public-
spu'ited, Cln-istian gentleman. The world has need of such.

THE ENGLISH .VNCESTRY OF REV. OBADIAH H0L:\IES
Communicated bj Col. J. T. Holmes, Columbus, Ohio,' at the request of the
Committee on English Itescarch
The principal facts known on this side of Rev. Obadiah Holmes's English
career were that he was born in Lancashire, England, about 1607, that of
his father's children three sons were " brought up at the University in
Oxford." that his mother was dead, and that he married his wife Cathe-
rine Ijefore his emigration to New England in 1638 or 1639.
Li an autobiography Holmes refers to a field called " the Twenty Acres,"
evidently in the neighborhood of his English home.
I had ascertained from Foster's " Alumni Oxoniensis " that Obadiah
Holmes was not on record as a student of Oxford University, but that two
brothers of the name of Hulme, born at Reddish, near Manchester, had
matriculated there. In the face of a persistent tradition that Holmes came
from the neighborhood of Preston, I could not safely draw any conclusions.
Mr. Axon also referred to Foster's " Alumni," followed the clue by
obtaining wills from the Probate Registry of Chester, and supplemented
the information given there by searching tlie Parish Registers of Manclies-
ter, Stockport. Didsbury, and other places. The following is a summary
of the results that he obtained, and I think that there can be little doubt as
to the identity of the Rev. Obadiah Holmes, the early Baptist Confessor,
with Obadiah who is named in the will of Robert Hulme of Reddish
(1640). It^vill be seen that the dates correspond pretty closely, that the
mother died before the emigration, and that two sons were certainly at
Oxford. The third son may have been Obadiah himself, it being well
known that the admission registers of the University are not complete.
Further u may be noted that the Robert Hulme of Reddish (d. 1697) at-
tended Gorton Chapel, and that there was a locality called '• Twenty Acres "
in Gorton. A point not settled by the evidence is the connection with
Preston, no mention of Obadiah having been found in the records there.
Possibly he was there for a short time before his emigration, or he may
have sailed from there. There really seems to be no room to doubt this
latter fact.
Besides this family of Hulme of Reddish, who were not land owners,
there were in succession two families of Hulme of Reddish who were owners
of a considerable part of the township. One of these families flourished
in the loth and ICth centuries and sold the property early in the 17th cen-
tury to Ralph Hulme of Manchester, gent., founder of the second family of
'Ten years ago searches made on my behalf by Mr. Ernest Axon, of Manchester,
England, resulted in the discovery of evidence bearing on the English ancestry of
Rev. Obadiah Holmes. I was then working on the history of my family and still con-
tinue to do so. Professional engagements have prevented me from publishmg my
work, but the English ancestry is so interesting to Kev. Obadiah Holmes's descendants
that I am glad to have an opportunity of placing on record the condensed result of the
search.
23S English Ancestry of Rev. Obadiah Holmes [July
Hulme of Reddish. The latter family became extinct by the death in 1691
of William Holme, Esq.. the munificent foimder of the wealthy Hulme
Charity in Manchester. The relationship of these two families with each
other and with the family to which Obadiah Holmes belonged has not been
satisfactorily settled. It may be mentioned that the family with which we
are more intimately concerned held their lands not under their namesakes
but under the Reddish and Coke families, the largest owners in Reddish
township.
HULME OF REDDISH
Robert* Hcxme of Reddish in the Parish of Manchester. Probably
the Robert Hulme mentioned as a tenant in the will of John Reddish, esq.,
1569, and almost certainly the Robert Hulme who in 1598 witnessed the
will of " Otiwell Hulme of Re<iytch, husbandman." He was buried at
.Stockport 14 Jan. 1604-5 as " Otild Robert Holme of Redich." His will,
dated 11 Aug. 1602 and proved at Chester 28 Jan. 1604-5, bequeathed his
lands to his eldest son Robert and his widow Alice. His widow was buried
at the Collegiate Church (now cathedral), Manchester, 7 Sept. 1610 as
"Alyce wjdow to RoUte Hulme of Reddiche."
Children :
i. Robert, see below.
ii. John, named in father's will, and an executor.
iii. Jane, named in father's will and then nnm.
iv. A DAUGHTER, whose child Gforye Hoyd is named in her father's will.
Robert" Hulme of Reddish, husbandman, inherited his father's lands-
He was buried at Stockport 12 Nov. 1640. His wUl, date<l 20 Aug.
1640, was proved at Chester 24 Nov. 1649 by Robert Hulme, one
of the executors, power being reserved to the other executor, Hugh
Johnson, whom the testator styles " brother-in-law." By this wUl
Robert Hnlme bequeathed to his son Robert " my estate and in-
terest," etc, " in the messuage in which I now dwell and which has
been held," etc., " by my predecessors tyme out of mynd," hoping
" my right worshippfuU master Edward Cooke esq. will dale merci-
fullie with him."
He married at Stockport, 8 Oct. 1605, Katherine Johxson, who
was buried at Stockport 8 Sept. 1630.
ChUdren :
i. John', bapt. at Stockport 3 May 1607 ; matriculated at Brasenose Col-
lege, Oxford, as son of " Robert Holme of Reddish, plcb.," 18 Nov.
1625, aged 17. As he is not named in his father's wUl it is probable
that he d. bef. 1610.
ii. Obadiah, the emigrant, bapt. at Didsbnry 18 Mar. 1609-10 as " Oba-
diath s. of Robert Hulme": was living at Reddish in 1633, and is
mentioned in his fathers will, his legacy of £10 being dependent
on the death, under age. of a younger brother. It is evident from
this that he had already received his filial portion. In the Stock-
port register, under date 2>) Dec. 1626, is recorded the burial of
" Obadia son of Robert Hnlme of Rediche." This cannot relate
to our Obadiah as the will proves that Obadiah was living in 1640.
Hulme was a very common name in the district. He m. at the

FIRST O^^NEESHIP OF OmO LANDS
By Albion Morris Dtee, A.M., of Cleveland, Ohio
[Continued from page 180]
The fears of Maryland respecting the use that might be made of the
vacant land, if the claimant states were not restrained by pro-\"isions in the
articles of confederation, apply directly to the plans of her neighbor state
to seize and hold the whole extent of disputed territory. Virginia laid
foundation for the broadest expansion of her dominion, in the teginning,
at the moment of transition from the condition of a royal British colony
to that of a fi'ee American commonwealth, in the assumption of the second
charter of King James, issued to the "Virginia" of 1609, as the basis of
her rights in America. A number of events in the Litter history of the
American colonies tend to establish the west boundary line of the claim-
ants' territory at the " sources of the rivers which fall into the Atlantic
ocean from the west to the northwest," but Virginia clung to the doctrine
of the hinterland as the foundation of her domain, and steadfastly pushed her
borders westwivrd ; first, over the greater mountains, upon the western
waters, and thence across the river to the uttermost reaches of the Illi-
nois, untU, in the land cession of 1783, she was forced to drop the prize.
The claims in the Virginia constitution, quoted on an earlier page as the
initial cause of alarm in the colonies, made the extent of the new-
formed commonwealth to stand as fixed in this chaner, m^-dified by the
more recent limitation of the French Treaty ; comprehending
All that space and circuit of laud lying from the sea-coast, two hun ' -< miles
each way from the Point or Cape Comfort, up uito the Isad throughoui _ ->
sea to sea [Mississippi River], west and northwest.
Provisions were made in the constitutional paragraph releasing, for pru-
dential reasons, the portions of territory on the eastern waters which were
actually covered by her sister colonies, but there were no allowances on the
western waters for the claims of other states whose chaner limits fall within
the area blocked out in the Stuart grant. Virginia Lad no intention of
264 First Ownership of Ohio Lands [July
recognizing the right of any other colony in that direction. It was the la-
tent purpose of V^irginia to" enter and occupy this reserved domain of the
crown, and to have and to hold the soil exclusively untU, peopled by her
soldiery, " one or more territories, by act of legislature, shaJl hereafter be
laid off, and governments established, westward of the Allegany moun-
tains." "
The objection heard in Congress respecting the territorial land claims
was general and not particular, and no protest against indi^^dual state claims
was made until towards the last. Maryland made her objections felt mthe
matter of controlling the Chesapeake waters by an early conference with
Virginia and a joint commission,
to consider of the most proper means to adjust and confirm the right of each,
to the use and navio:ation of, and jurisdiction over the Bay of Chesapeake, and
the rivers Potomac and Pocomoke.
But no state made local challenge of the proposed rule of the common-
wealth of Virginia on the western waters.
Tlie first mark of the purpose of Virginia to occupy the back country
is in the prohibitive clause appendant to the description of the chaner lim-
its of the commonwealth enacted May 6, 1776:
No purchase of lands shall be made of the Indian nations, but in behalf of the
public, by aothority of the general assembly.
It was the well established policy of the British crown and colonies that
the title of an Indian was not in itself sufficient to convey the right of
property,'* but occasion called for the early application of this principle in
Virginia, with respect to the disputed lands, while the convention was still
in session, in the following form :
Whereas, divers petitions from the inhabitants on the western frontiers have
been presented to this convention, complaining of exorbitant demands made on
them for lauds claimed by persons pretending to derive title from Indian deeds
and purchases.
Besolved, That all persons actually settled on any of the said lands ought to
hold the same, without paying any pecuniary or other consideration whatever to
any private person or persons, until the said petitions, as well as the validity of
the titles under such Indian deeds and purchases, shaU have been considered and
determined on by the legislature of this country ; and that all persons who are
now actually settled on any unlocated or unappropriated lands In Virginia, to
which there is no other just claim, shall have the pre-emption or preference, in
the grant of such lands.
Resolved. That no purchases of lands within the chartered limits of Virginia,
shall be made, under any pretense whatever, from any Indian tribe or nation,
without the approbation of the Virginia legislature.
" The assumption of Virginia respecting her chartered limits was never put to proof.
The generous conces!-ion of a portion of the territory made in 17&4 rendered pn.->of of
claims unuece^j^ary, and Congress magnanimously accepted the cession on itj face
value withou: insisting on proofs of title. Proof was unnecessary also because the
United States held by prior and higher claims the Iroquois deed of 1701, and the defin-
itive treaty of 1783. Ex parte statements on the value of the Virginia title have not
been lacking from that time to this; the latest is *' a communication fr-^m th
gover-
nor of Virginia transmitting certain correspondence and reports in iv. ~'-e to the
claims of \'irginia against the United States government on account of the tv-. •'f
the Northwest Territory " (Va. Sen. Doc. No. ill, Jan. 24, 1910), wherein it is pro-
posed to the legislature that a demand shall be made upon the United States for a re-
fund of a share of « 119,479,204 due Virginia as reserve interest in ceded lands mis-
appropriated bv the United States for education, public improvement, and other local
benefits.
*-- Chief Justice Marshall ruled " that a title to lands derived solelv from a grant
made bv an Indian tribe northwest of the Ohio in 1773 and 1775 to private individuals
cannot be reoguized in the courts of the United States " (8 Wharton, p. &43).
1910] First Ownershij} of Ohio Lands 265
The petitioners referred to in these resolutions are " inhabitants of that
part of America called Transylvania," from whom one petition is recorded
in the Journal of the Convention under date of May IH. They complain of
the unjust and arbitrary proceedings of Richard Henderson and Company,
tfae proprietors of that country in which the petitioners had made settle-
ments under expectation of undoubted title. They doubt the validity of
the purchtise those proprietors have made of the Cherokees, "the only title
they set up to the lands for which they demand such exorbitant sums of
money," a* it was in conflict with a deed which they had lately seen, exe-
cuted at Fort Stan wis, in which the confederated Indians of theSix Nations
•• declared the Cherokee [ Tennessee] river to be theii- true boundary with
the southward Indians." As they had purchased from the Henderson
Company they asked for relief from the convention of Virgmia, or an es-
pousal of their claim in Congress as the cause of the colony.
The proprietors of the Transylvania purchase answered these petitions
in a memorial which appears at great length in the convention proceed-
ings of June 15, in which they seek to clear themselves of the heavy
charges of injustice, exorbitant, and arbitrary measures. They deny also
certain uLsinuations " of setting themselves up as absolute proprietors of
an independent province ; and of attempting to dismember the colony by
sending deleg;ites or a memorial to Congress." They claim also priority
of title to the convention and the commonwealth of Virginia, arguing that
a declaration of indeijendence cannot alter the tenure of estates, or a change
of government interfere with the rights of private individuals to hold pro-
perty ; and they demand a hearing of the matters charged in the petitions."
The petitions and the memorial were in the hands of committees of the
convention, and they passed over as impending business to corresponding
committees of the general assembly when that body was organized under
the commonwealth. The references to attempts to set up independent
goverumetiis at different locations along the Ohio were transmitted to the
deJegates La Congress to forestall action there. The Henderson case called
for an inquiry into the nature of the Iroquois claims to the Cherokee
co-nntry, and commission; were assigned to take depositions of the Indian
chiefs at Williamsburg and in the Washington district. Thus matters
stc«>d in the middle of the second session of the Virginia assembly when,
are found running through the printed records of
ion of Virginia, and the succeeding sessions of the
general asstmblv, and elsewhere in the published archives of Virginia. Thej tell the
same story
... of the hardsliips that would result to the petitioners and others, from grants of large
tr«*ctB of land^ to private companies of gentlemen, which were to be sold out at a moderate
pnice for the tncouragement aud speedy tettlement of the back country, but that agents to the
coanpany and :iieir ?ucce..rors, instead of adliering to their (irst proposa'ls, liave demanded, aud
a<x.DalIy receiTed enormous prices, and have, by various unfair practices, either sold, located or
ciiamed nearly double their first grant.
Certain peritioners set forth that they had
. . . entered on the lands they occupied many years before and cultivated tUera witii ^ ' 'ohor
anifi expense, -i-ften at the peril of their lives from savages, in consequence of whicii they u^^.
they had obtaxaed a just aud equitable title to their possessions, without being obliged' to con-
triSinte large s^ms of monev for the separate emolument of individuals whose mercenary views
aK^ incompatib;e witli tlie real good of the community.
Petitions are recorded also from companies holding grants to take up and survey
laijds issued '• by the governor and council under the former British government.
Tbe purchas.er5 hud made investments in explorations and surveys, in roadways and
other improvements, and they had sold off much of their lands to actual settlers, but
their contracts were impaired' and their operations interrupted by the general feeling
of iinrest in the colonies, and by the uncertainty regarding titles, and all would be lost
unless the tiiies were confirmed.
266 First Ownership of Ohio Lands [July
on the 3d of June, 1777, a memorial appeared from the proprietors of a
tract of land on the Ohio, called Indiana.
The memorial of the Indiana Company, known in after proceedings in
the land controversy in the Continental Congress, raised the direct point
with the commonwealth of the right of title of the Six United Nations to
practically all of the back country from the Wisconsin to the central ridges
of the AUeghanies, upon which the claims of the New York colony had
rested for almost a century. The memorialists claimed propertj' as con-
veyed by the SLs United Nations at a treaty held at Fort Stanwix in
the year 1768, setting forth
" That the grant was obtained of the grantors nnder the immediate superin-
tendence of Sir William Johnson, and executed in the presence of the Governor
of New Jersey, and others, among whom were the commissioners then attending
in behalf of the colony of Virginia."
They conceive that by the convention resolve of the 24th of June last,
Virginia had laid a foundation for calling In question the title of the memorial-
ists to the lands aforesaid ; If the title of the memorialists should be called into
discussion, conscious of the equity and validity of their right, they shall never
hesitate to submit it to a proper judicature, nor to defend it in "the ordinary
course of justice ; that, under these circumstances, they couflde the legislature
of Virginia will not, by any act or proceeding whatever, Impeach or prejudice
their title, so well establi&hed, on the principles of reason, equity, and sound
policy.
The memorial, when read, was referred to the committee of the whole
house upon the state of the commonwealth, the same conmiittee that had
charge of the Henderson case. The matter dragged along through the
third session, during which the Henderson case was appointed to a hearing
and postponed. It must not be supposed that the Virginia general assembly
mistook the gravity of the situation. On the last day of the third session
action came of a significant character. The record for January 24, 1778,
reads :
" The clerk of the house was ordered to transmit a copy of the several papers
filed in the office relating to the claim of Richard Henderson and Company and
the Indiana Comjjany, to George Mason and Thomas Jefferson, Esquires." .
This was done, no doubt, to fortify the assembly with opinions ; and on the
same day these resolutions were agreed to :
Whereas, it is of the greatest importance to this commonwealth, that the
waste and unappropriated lands to which no person having just claim should be
disposed of, for the purpose of creating a sinking fund, in aid of the taxes for
discharging the public debt, and to the end that the claims to unpatented lands,
under the former or present government, may not in the meantime be increased
or strengthened.
Resolved, that every entry, with the survey hereafter made in the country
upon the westeru waters under any pretence or title whatsoever, until the land
office shall be established and the manner and terms of granting waste and un-
appropriated lands, shall be void and of no effect ; and that no persons hereafter
settling in the country upon the said western waters, shall h'~ "Utitled to any
land or pre-emption of land for such settlement, without paym^ . ""> 'same
such consideration as shall be hereafter ascertained by the general assemoij, .^
as no family be entitled to more than 400 acres.
Resolved, That aU persons claiming any tmpatented lands on the said western
waters by order of cotmcU, shall lay the same before the general assembly on or
before the 20th day of their next session, an-1 be at liberty in the mean time to
take the depositions of any witnesses they may choose, to examine such claims,
giving reasonable notice thereof to the perjon appointed by the governor and
council to attend such examination in the county, on behalf of the common-
wealth, in case such person shall be appointed.
1910] First Ownership of Ohio Lands 267
Finally, after two rear;, the Henderson aise was heard in the Virginia
assembly. The hearing was conducted with dignity, with " the Senate in-
vite>i to take seats in ihe House, while the memorials and papers were read
and arguments heard at the bar."' Richard Henderson, chief promotor of
Traasylvania, appeared in person. He aske<l for a separate court of judi-
cature, and proposed as the issue the simple question - whether the title ob-
taiu«l by the chumani* from the Cherokees was sufScient to convey the
right of property." They argned for the justice of the Cherokee claim
as against the claim oi the SLs United ^^aiions, citing the constant and
perpetual occupancy by the Cherokees and the recognition by the Virginia
colonial government in treaties and purchases made of the Cherokee na-
tion.'" Conclusion was reacheid in the case November 4, 1778. The
Henderson purcluise was ■leclaned void, and the doctrine of invalidity of
Indian titles reatfirmel Ln this form :
Resolved, That all pnrcbises of lands made or to be made of the Indians
within the chajtered boundiries of this commonwealth, as described by the con-
stitaiiou and form of Government, by any private person not authorized by public
authority Is void.
Compensation was to be allowed to the claimants " for their great expense
in making the purchases and in settling the lands, by which this common-
wealth are very like to receive great advantage, by increasing its inhabi-
tant* and establishing a harrier against the Indians"; and a commission
was ordered, to consider •• what compensation it may be just and reasonable
ti) aUow for the servicie rendere»i this commonwealth In quieting the minds
of the Cherokee Indians, and in settling many families upon that tract of
land in the btack country, commonly called Transylvania."
The way was now dear for the inquiry called for in the memorial of the
Indiana Company. A day was set in the May session for a hearing, and
public notice was inserted in the Virginia Giizelle for all concerned to at-
tend. Meanwhile petiiions and memorials were accumulating, and the min-
utes of the assembly were burdened with applications for confirmation of
titles obtained in various ways : lands taken up for homesteads, purchases
from the Indians, grants of the Dunmore government, army warrants, un-
der the royal proclamation, or under orders of the governor and council.
The claims antedate the Virginia constitution, but they are all illegal under
the retroactive aspect of the constitution. They must be swept out of
the chartered territorv of Virginia and all unpatente<i lands reclaimed,
from the boundaries of Pennsylvania southwest to the indeterminate lines
of the Carolines and Georgia. The finding of the In'iiana Company case,
after a ceremonious hearing Jmne 9, 1779, marks the climax of activity
in these expulsions :
Bf^'lreii. That the commonwealth of Virginia hath the exclusive right of
pre-emption, from the Indians, of all lands within the limits of its own char-
tered territory, as declared by the act and consi::ution or form of '-^-ernment
in 1770. that no person or persons whatsoever have, or ever had, a rigu, ~"r-
chase any land within iiie same from any Indian nation, except only persons
duly authorizal to mate such purchases on the public account, formerly for the
use" and benefit of the cr.lony. and lately of the commonwealth; and that such
excla-ive right or pre-eniption wiU. and ought lo be, maintained by this com-
monwealth to the utmoK of its power.

doth and ought to enure forever to and for the use and benefit of this common-
wealth, and to and for no other use or purpo?* whatsoever.
Jtesolved, Therefure, Tliat the deed from ihe six united nations of Indians,
bearmg date on the third day of November, 1768, for certain lands between the
Alleghany mountains and the river Ohio, above the mouth of the little Kanawha
creek, to and for the use and benefit of a certain William Trent, gentleman, in
his own right, and as attorney for sundry persons in the said deed named, as
well as all other deeds which have been or shall be made by any Indian or In-
dians, or by an Indian nation or nations, for lands within the limits of the char-
ter and territory of Virginia as aforesaid, to or for the use or benefit of any
private person or persons, shall be, and the same are hereby declared utterly
void, and of no eflect.
In order to remove and prevent all doubt concerning purchases of land
from the Indian nations, the general assembly framed the first and second
resolution into a bill and enacted the same on the 17 th of June at this
session, with the title : An act for declaring and asserting the rights of
this commonwealth, concerning purchasing land from Indian nations."
AVhile the general assembl}' was thus striving to establish a jurisdiction
over the disputed territory, and to set up a revenue for the benefit of the
public exigencies by wholesale reclamations of the soil of the back lands,
the Old Dominion unexpectedly gained the chance to expand the govern-
ment of the commonwealth over the entire area of her claims. Clark
had heard the call of conquest in the wUds of Kentucky, and hurrying to
the capital secured a commission of secret invasion. He mustered his
militiamen in Virginia for an overland crusade to Detroit, and having
crossed the Ohio halted at the Kaskaskies, with the result well known
to fame. Clark brought as his trophy to the commonwealth a fictitious
estate for an empty treasury. When lands were lacking in every colony
to satisfy overwhelming requirements of bounty obligations, he opened a
way for Virginia to the fabulous wealth of an immeasurable wilderness.
All other land claims were as nothing compared with these, and Virginia
had secured all. These delusive prospects of profit in the sales of Ohio
lands lay in the marvellous fertility of the soil, in the abundance of nat-
ural products, in salt springs known to abound, and in traditional mineral
deposits of gold, silver, copper, and lead along the river. Here was land
for ready sale, an imaginary asset, sufficient to indemnify Virginia for all
the past expenditures of war, to pay oft all bounty promises, to furnish a
means for permanent reduction of taxation, and to leave vast areas un-
touched for future uses.
Virginia lost no time in securing this new property. It is recorded under
date oi the 19th of November, 1778, that -the speaker laid before the
House, a letter from the governor, enclosing several letters and papers
from Lieut. Col. Clarke and Captain Leonard Helm." The letters and
papers, being read, were referred to a committee named, to whom leave
was given to prepare and bring in a bill '• lor estabUshing a county, to
include the inhabitants of this commonwealth, on the western side of the
Ohio river, and for the better government of those inhabi'^nts." This is
the record of the act to establish the county of Illinois, the -nd of Clark's
triumph, and to provide a temporary form oi government ai ited to the
circumstances of the new citizens of the commonwealth, French id Cana-
dians, who had taken the oath of fidelity to Virginia " on the \ >stward
side of the Ohio, in the vicinity of the ilissii-iippi." Xo other desc/^ption
is necessary ! The legal bounds of the new county embrace all that re-
mains of the expanse of the King James chaner, up into the land through-
"Hening's Statutes, vol. 10, p. 97.
1910] Firft Ownershij^ of Ohio Lands 269
out, •• from sea to river, west and northwest" from Old Point Comfort."
It was in this session of the general assembly, in which it was ordained
to establish this distant dependency of the commonwealth on territory
claimed by sister states and on lands still in controversy in the general
congress, and while the tenure of land cases were actually depen^ling on the
decision of the assembly, that the Virginia house of delegates developed
the plan of forcing immediate conclusion of the confederacy. The bill
creating the county of Illinois became a law on the 30th of Decemlier,
1778. On the same day the plan was formulated in the houie to bring
the backward states quickly to the terms of a confederation so favorable to
Virginia's hopes. The matter was under consideration until the 18th,
when the house came to the following resolutions, which the next day
were concurred in by the Senate :
Besolred, neviine contra dicente, That our delegates in Congress be instructtd
to propose to Congress, that they recommend to each of the states named as par-
ties in the articles of confederation, heretofore laid before and ratified by the
assembly, that they authorize their delegates in Congress to ratify the said arti-

Entered next after this in the journal, in a form indicating that they are

And whereas the assembly hath come to believe that sundry citizens of some

King of Great Britain's late governors in America, as well as with sundry noble-
men and others, subjects of the said King, in the purchase of a very large tract
of land from the Indians, on the northwest side of the Ohio river, within the
territory of Virginia,

forthwith transmitted to the Virginia delegates, to be by them comnmnicated to
Congress.
Not all of tliis volley of resolutions of the Virginia assembly reached the
intended mark, as some of the items have not been located in the journals
or papers of the Continental Congress ; and not one of them produced the
results desired. The edict of the commonwealth against Indian grants
■would serve as a " no trespass" notice to all the states until a land office
route to the preserves was open. The warning of a British invasion by
colonization fell short of the general congress. The proffer of land from
her own abundance, for the bounty dues of landless states, seems like a
a reward of merit for good behavior. It was read in Congress on the
26th of January and repeated, with protestations of sincerity, in the firjt
land session proposition of 1781. The lands intended for this generosity
were in Ohio territory ; but as the lands were still claimed by New York
and Connecticut, and as the general controversy respecting their ultimate
disposition was still pending in Congress, the offer to distribute them to pay
off the debts of a few states could not well be entertained in that body.
The main resolution proposing confederation without Maryland did not
reach the files of Congress at once. Doubt3ess it found the popular chan-
nel of publicity of that day, being privately printed as " broadsides" and
distributed with signatures attached. It cannot be said that it influenced
the action of Delaware, and its effect on Maryland was not quite what was
expected by the authors of the resolution. One response may or may not be
attributed to it : the issue at Hartford on the 7th of Apnl of power to
the Connecticut delegates to conclude confederation without the thirteenth
state.
But Maryland had made ready for the assault. Fully anticipating the
responsibility that must come upon the state as last obstinate objector in
the confederation dispute, the general assembly had prepared a justification
of past action and had taken counsel of the sense and deliberate judgment
of the state for a future course. It was decided that the state should re-
main independent, continuing in loyalty to the original compact of colonies
until liberty was won, but not confederating on the basis proposed.
The declaration of intentions respecting confederation, and the personal
instructions to their six delegates in Congress for use of the same, were
prepared by the Maryland assembly simultaneously with the Virginia se-
ries of resolves. The two instruments bear date of December 15, four
days ahead of the Virginia proposition. The Maryland declaration is a
restatement of the series of resolves, remonstrance, and instructions^ of
the assembly in the course of the dispute, upon which the amendments
and alterations proposed on behalf of the State from time to time were
drawn, while the second instrument conveys assurances to the delegates
of the sentiments of the state, and explicit directions for their final action
on confederation.
The declaration of Maryland was laid before Congrv ■■ by the delegates
of that state on Wednesday, January 6, 1779, but it was 'ot then consid-
ered. It is not recorded as read in Congress, nor does it a^ ^ear anywhere
* The instructions here referred to are in the action of the Maryland ^ lera! assem-
bly of the previous June, ivhich had formed the basis of objections urgeu « Congress
against confederation at that time :
Ktesolved, Tliat the delegates from this state consider themselves boacd by the iastructtons
given in Oclober sessiOD last, and that they endeavour to procure from Congress an explicit
an:»wt'r to the propositions therein contained ; but that tliey do not at any time coa^ider them-
ielves at liberty to ratify or confirm any confcderalion of perpetual friendship and union, until
they have communicated such answer to the general assembly of this state and E^aii receive
their exprens authority to do so.

in the journals, ^ but it is not to he doubted that the sentiments it express-
ed respecting the confederacy were " made publicly known and e3r{)licill_T
and concisely declared," since the delegates were directed in the instruc-
tions
.... to have it printed and to present signed copies theneof to each of the dele-
gates of other states to the intent and purpose that copies may be communi-
cated to our brethren in the United States, and the contents taken into their
serious and candid consideration.
The old argument appears in the declaration of the injustice and unfair-
ness in the esclusive use of the crown lands by individual states, but addi-
tional force and effect is secured by reference to certain preparations for
immediate sales of the vacant lands. However, the most interesting fea-
ture of the paper is the fre^h cry of alarm raised on account of newly
discovered dangers in the proposed confederation.
Maryland apprehensions were aroused by the reaiiing of Article iii of
the confe<leration, which seems to be merely an expression in fervent lan-
guage of the " firm bond of friendship" which was to hold the sister states
in perpetual amity. By this bond the assembly seeoied to fear that Mary-
land might be " burthened with heavy expenses for the subduing and gu^-
anteeing immense tracts of country, although having no share of the mon-
eys arising from the sales of the lands withm those tracts or be otherwise
benefitted thereby." It is stated :
We declare that we mean not to subject ourselves to such suarantv nor will
■we be responsible for any part of such expense, nnkss the third article and pro-
viso [of article ix] be explained so as to prevent tlieir being hereafter construed
in a manner injurious to this state. ^'
There are promises, also, that Maryland wiU accede to the confederation
pro\'ided the desired amendments are made,
expressly reserving or securing to the United Stat« a right in common in, and
to all the lauds lying to the westward of the frontiers as aforesaid, not sranted
to, surveyed for, or purchased by individuals at the commencement of the pres-
ent war, in such manner that the said lands be sold out, or otherwise disposed
of for the common benefit of all the states ; and that tine money arisiog from
the sale of those lands, or the quit rents reserved theretMU may be deemed and
taken as part of the moneys belonging to the United States, and as such be ap-
propriated by Congress towards defraying the eipeuses of the war. and the
payment of interest on moneys borrowed or to be borrowed on the credit of the
United States from France or anv other European power, or for anv other joint
benefit of the United States.
The final paragraph of the declaration pledges Maryland's adherence to
the cause of freedom untU independence is firmly established, hut shifts
the responsibility for prolongation of the war ufion thoise •■ who bv rcfusins

No trace of the instructions appears in the January record of Congress.
This document was not filed with the declaration, but was read in secret
and held in reserve by the Maryland delegation, to answer the call for fur-
ther powers for ratification, should that be heard. The paper instructs the
delegates respecting the use of the declaration, and directs them as to the
votes they give and the opinions they deliver in Congress respecting confed-
eration. " We have spoken with freedom as becomes freemen, and we -
sincerely wish that our representations, may make such an impression on
that assemblj' as to induce them to make such addition to the articles of
confederation as may bring about a permanent union."
Maryland's course of opposition is explained at length, and the obstruc-
tion of the confederation is fully justified to the delegates on patriotic
grounds. The private use of the crown lands, which were secured at com-
mon expense, is the main point. The instability of the proposed union,
formed on so great an injustice, is argued on the theory that the states
which have acceded to the present confederation contrary to their own in-
terests and judgments will consider it no longer binding when the causes
cease to operate, and will eagerly embrace the first occasion of asserting
their just rights and securing their independence. The preparations of
Virginia to sell the lands is cited as to what may be expected.
Suppose VirgUuft Indisputably possessed of the extensive and fertile country
to which she has set up a claim, what would be the consequences to Maryland?
They cannot escape the least discerning. Virginia, by selling on the most mod-
erate terms a small portion of the lands in question would draw into her treas-
ury vast sums of money, and in proportion to the sums arising from such sales
would be enabled to lessen her taxes. Lands comparatively cheap and taxes
comparatively low with the lands and taxes of an adjaceut state, would quickly
drain the state thus disadvantageously circumstanced of its most useful inhabi-
tants, its wealth, and its consequence in the scale of confederated states would
sink of course.
The declared intention of Virginia to relinquish at some future period a
portion of the country contended for is criticised " as made to lull suspicion
asleep, and to cover the design of a secret ambition ; or, if the thought
were seriously entertained, the lands are now claimed to reap an immedi-
ate profit from the sales." The argument of nationalizing the crown lands
follows, and then the words :
We have co-^ly and dispassionately considered the subject; we have weighed
probable inc Aeniences and hardships against the sacrifice of just and essential
rights ; ar <lo instruct you not to agree to the confederation unless an article
or articl' be added thereto in conformity with our declaration. Should we suc-
ceed in -otainlng such article or articles, then you are hereby fully empowered
to acf .le to the confederation."
'^ or reasons not disclosed in official records the Virginia resolutions pro-
posing a confederacy of part of the states were not presented in Congress
until the 20th of May. On that day the delegates of Virginia laid before
Congress an attested copy of the two resolutions of the assembly pertain-
ing to this subject, which had been in their care since the December pre-
vious, and the same were read and entered in the journals. In pursuance
of the powers and instructions therein contained the delegates moved to
carry the resolutions into immediate effect by recommending ratification
on the basis proposed, on a fixed date to be determined in Congress. The
delegates of Virginia then delivered a paper signed by them in the fol-
lowing words :
'* The original ms. Instructions are in tlie papers of the Continental Congress, No.
70, p. 30.5. The paper is recorded in the journals of Congress under date of May 21,
1779, and may be found in Heniug's Statutes, vol. 10, p. 553.
1910] First Ownership of Ohio Lands 273
In consequence of the foregoing instruction? and powers to us given we do
hereby declare, that we are readr and willing lo ratify the confederation with
any one or more states named therein, so that the same shall be forever binding
upon the state of Virginia.
Merewether Smith, Richard Henry Lee.
Cyms Griffin, WUliam Fleming.
No action of Congress is recorded on the Virginia proposition. No dis-
cussion took place and. apparently, the motion of the Virginia delegates
was not put to vote. The next day's business began with the delegates of
Maryand " informing Congress, that they had received instructions respect-
ing the articles of confederation, which they were directed to lay before Con-
gress, and to have entered on their joumalj." The Maryland instructions
were read by the secretary and were spread apon the pages of the journal.
Following tills the Connecticut delegation filed the further powers issued
to them authorizing them to ratify the confederation with eleven states,
omitting Maryland, " in the most full and ample manner. AJwavs pro-
vided, that the state of Maryland be not therelsy excluded from acceding
to said confederation at anytime thereafter."
Confident in the security of her claims from local interference, and no
longer fearing the interposition of Congress, the Virginia assembly now
made haste with the legislation necessary for immediate disposition of the
property to the best advantage of the commonwealth. The long deferred
land office was provided for in a bill enacted soon after the close of the In-
diana Company hearing. A second bill " for adjusting and settling the titles
of claimers to unpatented lands under the present and former governments,
previous to the establishment of the commonwealth's land office," was en-
acted at the same time to ease the anxietj' in the settlements on the fron-
tiers.
The land office was to open in October, the terms and manner of grant-
ing waste and unappropiated lands were fixed, and a register was appointed
to take office immediately. A special order for record books of sales was
made in the assembly so that no time would be lost Ln the remote counties
of Monongahela, Yohogania, Ohio, and Kentucky, bordering upon the river.
The lands were to be distributed according to the ancient custom to pros-
pectors making entry and survey by county surveyors commissioned by the
College of Wil'-im and Mary, and warrants issued on proof. Officers and
soldiers had t' / preference, as provided by the several bounty laws, and
actual settl' yon uncontested claims were also privileged to purchase the
lands they^ccupied. All other waste and unappropriated lands on the
eastern - '/western waters, within the territory of the commonwealth, were
for sa'/io any person in quantity desired at the rate of forty poimds per
hundred acres. The laws were printed and distributed to the various coun-
ties, and extraordinary means were employe! to spread abroad quickly the
news of the opening of the land office. On the last day of the summer
session of the Virginia assembly it was
Resolved, That the Governor be desired to transmit by the post one hundred
copies of the act .... to the Virginia delegates in Congress, and desire them
to take the most speedy and effectual measures for dispensing and publishing
the same in thedifl'erent states."
These laws were intended to apply, until further orders of the Virginia
assembly, to lands onJj- as far westward as the Ohio River, but it will not

274 First Ownership of Ohio Lands [July
be doubted that it was the plan to extend a? soon as practicable to the re-
gions across the river. But the time never came for Virginia to sell o£E
Ohio lands. Disapproval of the land office act arose to prevent it. These
laws made actual trespassers of the speculators and settlers along the river,
most of whom held title from the confederated Indians. As this was an
issue of national magnitude the dispossessed memorialists took an appeal
to Congress and secured the int rposition of the United States to restrain
Virginia.'"
The memorials were presented and read in Congress on the 14th of
September. George Morgan, petitioning for the Indiana Company, con-
tends
"that the tract of country claimed by the Indiana Company was separated by
the King of Great Britain, before independence was declared, from the dominion,
which, in the right of the crown. Virginia claimed over it, and cannot remain
subject to the jurisdiction of Vira:inia, or ajiy particular state, but of the whole
United States in Congress, assembled."
Morgan prays for an order to stay Virginia in the sale of the land in
question till the case can be heard in Congress, and " the whole rights of
the owners of the tract of land called Vandalia, of which Indiana is a part,
shall be ascertained in such a manner as may tend to support the sover-
eignty of the United States and the just rights of the individual therein."
The same point was raised by William Trent in a second memorial in re-
gard to the larger tract called Vandalia, and there were other appeals of
minor importance.^
The delegates of Virginia made instant objection to the consideration of
these Papers in Congress, raising for the first time in American politics an
issue of state rights. The matter of Virginia's protest does not appear in
the records, but from subsequent proceedings in Congress its purport may
be known. The objections were based on the doctrine that Congress had
no jurisdiction over the subjectrmatter of the Morgan memorial since it was
related to the internal affairs of a sovereign stat6. The question was put
to vote and the reference was ordered. The committee of five delegates
elected by vote of states was directed by order of Congress
to enquire into the foundation of the objection formerly made by the Vir-
ginia delegates, upon the reading of the petition and the memorial, to the juris-
diction of Congress on the subject matter of the said papers, and first report
the facts relating to that point."
The committee took quick action on the protest, with results detrimental
to Virginia, declaring
. . . that they have read over and considered the state of facts given in by the
delegates of Virginia, and cannot find any such distinction between the question
of jurisdiction of Congress, and the merits of the cause, as to recommend any
decision upon the first separately from the last.
And in addition to this, they offer a preamble and a resolution reproba-
ting the action of the commonwealth in opening a land office.
*« George Crogan appeared on the 5th of Jane before the Virginia House of Dele-
gates praying to be heard, and on the 9th presented a memorial praying for confirma-
tion of title to three tracts of land on the Ohio purchased in 1749 from the Six Nations.
After the decision against the Indiana Company Crogan took his case direct to Con-
gress. Many papers relating to Western claims mar be found in the Papers of the
Continental Congress, No. 30.
^ The Morgan memorial is spread on the minutes of Congress. The original Trent
memorial is in the papers of the Continental Congress, N'o. 41, vol. x, p. 79.
"The vote was six to five. Connecticut for the first time voted with the non-claim-
ants, New York was divided, and Georgia was not represented.

Tlie delegates were in conflict in Congress for two days over this report.
There was apparently no trouble in the decision on the point of jurisdiodon,
for the members seemed to agree with the committee ; but on the wor>iing
of the preamble, and the substance of the resolution, there were several
divisions. Maryland delegates offered a substitute of more drastic cririoism
of Virginia's land office programme. On this there was a sharp conrict.'^
The Maryland form carried at first, but on reconsideration a more rea-
sonable resolution was adopted, in these words :
Whereas the appropriation of vacant lands by the several states durina the
continuance of the war, will, in the opinion of Congress, be attended with great
mischiefs; therefore,
Besolved, that it be earnestly recommended to the state of Virginia, to re-
consider their late act of assembly for opening their land office: and that it be
recommended to the said state, and all other states similarly circumstanctJ. to
forbear settling or issuing warrants for unappropriated lands, or grantina the
same during the continuance of the present war.
Report of this action first reached the Virginia assembly in a lett«r from
the delegates of the commonwealth. The letter and proceedings were read
in the house of delegates on the I3th of November and referred to a
committee of the whole house on the state of the commonwealth. The
committee took up the matter the same day and soon came to resolniions
which were at once reported ; and, all formalities being suspended in view
of the importance of the subject, the resolutions were unanimously agreed
to by both house and senate.
Besolved, nemine contra dicmte. That a remonstrance be drawn up to the Hon.
the American Congress, firmly asserting the right of this commonwealth i.> its
own territory, complaining of their having received petitions from certain per-
sons, styling themselves the Indiana and Vandalia companies, upon claims which
not only interfere with the laws and internal policy, but tend to subvert the
government of this commonwealth, and introduce general confusion : and ex-
pressly exceptmg and protesting agamst the jurisdiction of Congress therein as
vmwarranted bv the fundamental prmciples of the confederation.
Resolved, nemine coiUra dicente, That the Governor, with the advice of the
councU, be empowered and required to use the most effectual means for appre-
hending and securing any person or persons withm this commonwealth, who
shall attempt to subvert the government thereof, or set up any separate govern-
ment within the same, that such person or persons may be brought to triaJ,
according to due course of law.
A remonstrance to Congress was issued by Virginia in pursuance of this
action, but not in the belligerent tones of the resolutions. The remonstrance
bears date of its adoption in the assembly thirty days after the passage of the
resolutions. It doubtless found its way directly to the congressional com-
mittee, which was still at work on the memorials. The remonstrance as-
sures Congress that, " Although the general assembly of Virginia would
make great sacrifices to the common interests of America .... and be
ready to listen to any just and reasonable propositions for removing the
ostensible causes of the delay to the complete ratification of the confedera-
tion, they expressly protest against any jurisdiction or right of adju-
dication in Congress, upon any matter or thing subversive .if the intt^mal
policy, civil government, or sovereignty of this or any other of the L nited
American States." There are other interesting features ot the remon-
» Mr. Paca of Maryland wished to censure Virginia for opening the land office, be-
canse it "has produced much uneasiness, dispute and controversy, ani greatly -reak-
ened these United States by the emigration of their inhabitants to par..- ren.oie ..om
defence against the common enemy .'^' But as the land office had been open le== _m
a month this language was scarcely justifiable.
27(3 First Ownership of Ohio Lands [July
strance not anticipated in the resolutions : a waxning against establishing
dano-erous precedents in seizing lands of states ; a reminder of the effect of
conin-essional interposition, upon the pending negotiations for peace, in
which the charters of the states were to be urged as the basis of definition
of the United States boundaries ;*' and a reference to the safety clause in
the ninth article of the confederation by which " the rights of sovereignty
and jurisdiction within her own territory were reserved and secured to Vir-
ginia when she acceded to the articles of confederation." There is mfor-
mation. also, of the offer of the general assembly of bounty lands " out of
their territory on the northwest side of the Ohio river," and Congress is
assured that " the offer when accepted will be most cheerfuUr made good."
No word appears respecting reconsideration of the land office act, nor of
a suspension of the distribution of the vacant lands ; but in the first para-
graph of the document it is announced that " the general assembly have
enacted a law to prevent present settlement on the northwest side of the
Ohio river."
The law to prevent present settlements on the northwest side of the Ohio
River, referred to in the Virginia remonstrance, is easily identified as a
paragraph inserted by the Virginia House as an amendment to a bill rela-
ting to the location of warrants on the military reservation, then in its final
passage in the assembly. The circumstances of this enactment are interests
ing. Information was received in the House on the 8th of November, in
a communication from the Governor, respecting "intrusions on Indian
lands upon the Ohio." From reports" received the same day in Congress
it is learned that these intruders are
. . . some of the inhabitants from Yoghiagania and Ohio comities, Virginia,
■who had crossed the Ohio River and made small improvements on the Indian's
lands, from the river Muskingrun to Fort Mcintosh, and 30 miles up the branches
of the Ohio River.
The trespassers had been apprehended and their huts destroyed by the
Continentals under Col. Broadhead. In consequence of this news from the
frontiers the assembly made haste to enlarge the scope of the pending, bill,
adding the paragraph prohibiting settlements on the northwest side of the
Ohio, and
. . . desiring the Governor to issue a proclamation, requirmg aB persons settled
on the said land Immediately to remove therefrom, and forbidding others to
settle in future, and moreover, with the advice of the council from time to time, ■
to order such armed force as shall be thought necessary to remove from the
said lands, such person or persons as shall remain on or settle contrary to the
said proclamation^'
New York, moved by this display of national spirit in Congress, made
an immediate surrender of all claims upon the western country. The firm
stand of Congress against Virginia, proudest of the claimants, inspired the
legislature to relinquish the long standing rights of the state to the Iroquois
lands. New York gave up this great property freely, with no thought of
reservation, and without suggestion of personal indemnity for the expenses
of a century of support of the historic contract with the Sis United Na-
*> Cf. Note 6, supra.
"' In a letter of the 26th of October from Col. Broadhead to the president of Con-
gress, on the basis of which Congress ordered a letter enclosing a copv of the letter of
Col. Broadhead sent to the Governor of Virginia, from whose jurisdiction the offenders
came, " requesting his excellency to endeavor to prevent a repetition of the trespass
mentioned in it."

tions. from whom the state derived title. The New York cession of terri-
tory is in the form of " an act to facilitate the completion of the articles of
confederation and perpetual union among the American States," passed by
the legislature on the 19th of February, 1780. The act confers fuU power
axid authority upon their delegates in Congress,
... to limit and restrict the boundaries of the state m the western parts thereof,
either with respect to the jurisdiction or right of pre-emption of soU, or both,
and to relinquish the t«?rritory to the north and westward of these boundaries,
'• to be and enure for the use and benefit of such of the United States as shall
become members of the federal union."
The New York act of cession was read in Congress on the 7th of March
following its passage, and was referred to a committee of three delegates
chosen by a vote of the states to consider the matter. The New York act
and the unfinished business of the former committee of five, the Maryland
and Virginia papers, and the memorials of the Indian claimants, were re-
poned upon six months later, and the famous recommendations of Septem-
ber 6, calling upon the claimant states to surrender a portion of their
claims for the general good, is the report of this committee.**
Congress took the report into consideration on that date, and it was
agreed to as reported. This document is often printed in full in accounts
of the land cessions. The committee conceived it to be unnecessary to take
ap the matters raised in the papers of Maryland and Virginia. They declared
That it appears more advisable to press upon those states which can remove
the embarrassmeuts respecting the western country, a liberal surrender of a
portion of their territorial claims since they cannot be preserved entire without
endangering the stability of the general confederacy.
It was advised to urge upon the legislatures the indispensable necessity
of establishing the federal union. The example of the New York act was
commended. The states were to be urged to pass the laws for the desired-
cessions, and the legislature of Maryland was to be earnestly requested to
authorize its delegates in Congress to subscribe the articles.
Congress took the necessary measures to carry out the provisions of this
resolution. But in order to reassure the states making land cessions, that
the territory entrusted to Congress would be held only for the common use
and benefit of the United States in the manner contended for from the be-
ginning of the controversy, a pledge was issued October 10, in this form :
Resolved, That the unappropriated lands that may be ceded or relinquished
to the United States, by any particular state, pursuant to the recommendation
of Congress of the 6th day of September last, shall be disposed of for the
common benefit of the United States, and be settled and formed into distmct
republican states, which shall become members of the federal union, and have
th-e same rights of sovereignty, freedom and independence as the other states ;
th£t each state which shall be so formed shall contain a suitable extent of terri-
tory, not less than 1C«J nor more than 150 miles square, or as near thereto as
circumstances will admit; That the necessary and reasonable expenses which
any particular state shall have incurred since the commencement of the present
waj. in subduing any British posts, or in maintaining forts or garrisons within
and for the defence, or in acquiring any part of the territory that may be ceded
or relinquished to the United States, shall be reimbursed.
* The sequence of commitments of tliese papers is in a tangle on account of omis-
sions in the journals of Congress. The original committee of October 8, John Wither-

278 First Ownership of Ohio Lands [July
That the said lands shall be granted or settled at such times and under snch
regulations as shall hereafter be agreed on by the United States In Congress
assembled, or any nine or more of them.
Two days after tlie adoption of this resolution in Congress, October 12,
1780, the Connecticut legislature, without knowledge of the programme
therein pledged for territorial disposition, resolved to make a proportionate
cession of the land claims of the state in the western country. The Con-
necticut resolutions proposed to surrender a portion of lands westward of
the .Susquehanna purchase, in compliance with the earlier recommendation,
reserving full jurisdiction of the lands ceded. This was unsatisfactory as
compared with the unreserved cession authorized by New York, but the
resolution was not officially returned to Congress imtil the last day of
January, by which time the third state had reported a plan of cession
even more objectionable.*^
Virginia's response to the recommendations of Congress is in the form
of a resolution of the general assembly bearing date of January 2, 1781.
The resolution makes no cession of territory, and confers no authority on
the delegates to cede. It is merely a resolve that the commonwealth " will
yield all claims " to a portion of the crown lands, on conditions which Con-
gress was compelled to decline, for reasons expressed in the after-report of
the committee, " as inconsistent with the interests of the United States, the
duty Congress owes to their constitnents, or the rights necessarUv vested in
them as the sovereign power of the United States." By the terms of the
act, the assembly pledges
That this commonwealth will yield to the Congress of the United States, for
the benefit of the said United States, all right, title and claim that the said
''The method of cession proposed bj Connecticut was too clumsy to admit f
acceptance. The lands were to be granted direct to settlers by Connecticut for the
benefit of the confederated United States, in specified estates, on surrev warrants
issued by Congress to grantees, as sfreed to by the delegates, or any three of them.
There is an attested copy of the resoTotion of cession in the Papers of the Continental
Congress, No. 66, vol. 2, pp. 178-9. Following is a copy of the record of the action in
the ms. Tol. ii. Records of the State of Connecticut, October, 1780 :

commonwealth hath to the lauds northwest of the river Ohio, upon the following
conditions, to wit: . . .
The conditions enumerated in the resolutions aside from those expressed
in the resolution of Octoher 10, all of which are restated in the Virginia
resolutions, include protection for the French and Canadian inhabitants of
the Illinois ; reservations of lands for the men of Clark's expedition and,
if needed, for other soldiery of Virginia ; invalidation of all Indian pur-
chases or royal grants which are inconsistent with the chartered rights, laws,
and customs of Virginia ; and guaranty by the United States to the com-
monwealth of "all the remaining territory of Virginia included between
the Atlantic ocean and the southeast side of the river Ohio, and the ilary-
land, Pennsvlvania, and North Carolina boundaries." The " cession" was
to be void and of no effect unless all the states in the American Union
should ratify the articles of confederation, and it was expected in return
" that everv other state in the Union, under similar circumstances as to va-
cant terrltorj-, will make similar cessions of the same to the United
States for the general emolument."
The three cessions of New York, Connecticut, and Virginia, covering
practically the same lands and being so fundamentally different, required
careful consideration, and Congress ordered a committee of seven to be
elected to take them in charge.** The whole business of land concessions
was relegated to this committee, where it remained until the thorough, com-
prehensive, and exhaustive report, which was submitted to Congress on the
3d of November, 1781, was finally disposed of in Congress eighteen months
later. But while the theory and principle upon which the cessions were
to stand remained officially in this prolonged state of abeyance, there was
no uncertainty as to the status of the Northwest Territory. Sovereign con-
trol of the crown lands of Kmg George was forever secure Ln the United
States, and it remained only for the subscriptions to the definitive Treaty
at Paris to make it absolute.
Maryland was now ready to enter the confederation. The cessions were
made in part only, and in form wholly unsatisfactory, but with no ces-
sions Maryland would have closed the circle of the confederacy at this junc-
ture. The ultimate surwsnder of the so-called claims of individual states
was inevitable ; the manner and form of surrender was immaterial. It was
merely a matter of courtesy, from this tune on, for Congress to negotiate
with particular legislatures for terms of cessions. The natural unity of
interests resulting from the near approach of peace, and the certitude of
a liberal allowance from the British Commissioners for peace in the Iwun-
dary settlements, would have given Congress the power of assertion of con-
trol over the clauned lands if that had been necessary.'^ Other conslder-

ations impelled the state at this time — considerations of sentimental or pa-
triotic nature — and, disregarding the cessions, the Maryland assembly or-
dered the name of the state to be subscribed within the thirteenth space on
the scroll of the Act of Confederation. It remained only for Maryland to
await with complaisance for the assured congressional control of the Nation-
al domain.
The act of the Maryland assembly authorizing the ratification of the
articles of confederation is in the form of a preamble and a declaration,
agreed to on the 2d of February, 1781. The paper was reported to Con-
gress and spread upon the minutes under date of February 12. The pre-
amble tells its own story of the apprehensions which had led Maryland to
the act :
Whereas it hath been said that the common enemy is encouraged by this state
not acceding to the confederation, to hope that the union of the sister states
may be dissolved ; and therefore prosecutes the war in expectation of an event
so disgraceful to America; and our friends and illustrious ally are impressed
with an idea that the common cause would be promoted by our formally acceding
to the confederation ; this general assembly conscious that this state hath, from
the commencement of the war, strenuously eserted herself in the common
cause, and fuUy satisfied that if no formal confederation was to take place, it is
the fixed determination of this state to continue her exertions to the utmost,
agreeably to the faith pledged to the Union ; from an earnest desire to conciliate
the affection of the sister states ; to convince all the world of our unutterable
resolution to support the independence of the United States, and to destroy
forever any apprehensions of our friends, or hope in our enemies, of this state
being agaiu united to Great Britain.
And in order to guard the points of long contention the conditions of ratifi-
cation are thus positively expressed :
And it is hereby declared, that, by acceding to the said confederation, this state
doth not relinquLsh.Nior intend to relinquish, any right or interest she hath, with
the other united or confederated states to the back country ; and claim the same
as fully as was done by the legislature of this state, in their declaration, which
stands entered on the Journals of Congress ; this state relying on the justice of
the several states hereafter, as to the said claim made by this state. And it is
further declared, that no article in the said confederation, can or ought to bind
this or any other state, to guarantee any exclusive claim of any particular state,
to the soil of the said back lands, or any such claim of jurisdiction over the said
lands or the inhabitants thereof.
On this firm foundation Maryland would have placed the final ratification
of the confederation. Had it remained on that basis no more would have
been required to place Congress in absolute control of all vacant lands and in-
determinate boundaries of every state. The back line of Virginia would then
have fallen at the water ridge of the Alleghanies, and the states of Ken-
tucky and West Virginia would have had an independent organization and
a more general settlement. But a conditional ratification was an impossi-
bility without amendments that would requii-e ratification and subscription
of thirteen states. The articles must stand as ratified in Congress ; they
could not be affected by the conditional action of any state legislature.
Maryland's signature was yet to be placed on the form of ratification, and
That it be recommended to the contending parties not to grant any part of the disputed land,
or to disturb the poasefsion of any persons living therein, and to avoid every appearance of iorce
cntil the dispute can be amicably settled by both States, or brought to a just decision by the
intervention of Congrf es ; that possessions forcibly talten be restored to the original possessors,
tnd things placed in the situation In whioli they were at the commencement of the present War,
without prejudice to the claims of either party.
19101 First Ownership of Ohio Lands 281
a day was set and a programme arranged for the ceremony— Jlarch 1,
1781 at twelve o'clock, in Congress, when the final ratification of the con-
federation of the United States of America was to be announced to the
public. This ceremony was carried out as arranged, and the completed
articles of confederation were entered on the mmutes of Congress with
the signatures transcribed. But before the act of confederation could be
completed by such a ceremony it was necessary to perfect the record as to
the action of New York. The act of cession of the legislature of that
state was accordingly spread upon the minutes. The New York delegation
then executed in Congress a declaration, which was likewise entered on the
ioumals. By tliis instrument the delegates declare that, being uninstructed
on the subject of the Virginia guarantee by their constitutents, the cession
of land and the restriction of boundary of the state of New Y'ork wliich
they are about to make on behalf of the state, " shall not be absolute, but,
on the contrary, shall be subject to ratification and disavowal by the people
of the state," unless the reserved territorial rights of New York shall be
oTiaranteed for her future jurisdiction by the United States in the same
manner as stipulated by Virginia as a condition of the cession. Following
this in the minutes comes the deed of restriction and absolute cession trans-
cribed as executed in due form with legal seals and signatures all com-
plete. The New York northern and western boundaries are given as they
now exist, and the delegates :
cede, transfer, and forever relmquish to, and for the only use and benefit
of such of the states as are or shall become parties to the articles of cor^eder-
ation, aU the right, title, interest, jurisdiction and claim, of the state of ^ew
York to aU the lands and territories to the northward and westward of the
boundaries to be ^Wnted and disposed of, and appropriated m such man-
neronly, as the congrels of the said United or Confederated States shall order
or direct."
The interest now passes to the struggle of Virginia with the committee
of Coneress to whom was re-committed the acU of cession and the unfin-
L^hed business of the Trent and Morgan memorials. The Virginia dele^-
tion resisted a notice to appear before the committee and confer with the
memorialists on the subject of their memorials, conceiving that " it dero-
gates from the sovereignty of a state to be drawn into a contest by an indi-
vidual or individuals." They inquire if Congress " intended to authorize
this committee to receive claims and hear evidence m behalf of the Indiana
and Vandalia Companies adverse to the claims or cessions of the states,
and requested the committee to forbear the conference until Congress could
advise. They appealed to Congress a second time for a ruling "on the
authoritv of "the committee to admit councU or to hear documents, proofs,
or evidence not among the records, nor on the files of Congress, which have
not been specifically referred to them." Congress supported the committee
on these rulings, and Virginia from this time on found herself deserted by
her former friends in the north. Finally, in the last call of the committee
for proofs, the delegates on the part of Virginia stood on their state s
ri^ihts •• declining to make any elucidation of the claim, either to the lands
cSied,' or to the lands requested to be guaranteed to the state by Congress.
The committee delayed no longer, and made final report to Congress on
the Od of November, 1781, on all matters recommitted to them.
The report of the committee of five appears m full m the journals o
the Continental Congress for the first of May, 1782, when, after several
282 First Oicnership of Ohio Lands [July
postponements, it was on the order of the day for final discussion. It is
an exhaustive report, covering all points under dispute of the right and ti-
tle of the public domain, laying foundations for the land policy of the
United States for all time to come. The report deals primarily with the
cessions, but it doe* not bring the settlement of this vexatious matter. Many
years must pass before all that was necessary was said and done in Con-
gress on this subject. But while it seems to fail in securing concessions
from the states in the form desired, it removed the subject from contro-
versv, advanced the sovereisrnty of the United States, and fixed a modus
optrandi in territorial disposition and Indian control.
The report takes up the several cessions and claims on the basis of
vouchers examined, " and information obtained as to the status of the
lands mentioned in each ; and gives the results of the findings in the form
of recommendations, with reasons itemized. The findings are entirely ad-
verse to Virginia on all points in cona-oversy, and, according to the recom-
mendations of the report the act of cession of the state of New York is to
be accepted as based on claims of jurisdiction authentically derived from
the Six United Nations of Indians. The claims of Massachusetts and
Connecticut are disregarded entirely Ln the report, and these states are
earnestly recommended " that they do without delay release all claims and
pretensions of claim to the western country, without any conditions or re-
strictions whatever." As to Virginia, it is resolved that " Congress cannot
accept of the cession proposed to be made, or guarantee the tract of country
claimed by Virginia/' for the reason that the lands are within the claims
of other states and outside the bounds of the late colony of Virginia as it
stood at tho' beginning of the war. It is proposed as a resolution.
That it be earnestly recommended to the state of Virginia, as they value the
peace, welfare and increase of the United States, that they reconsider their said
act of cession, and by a proper act for that purpose, cede to the United States
all claims and pretensions of claim to the lands and country beyond a reason-
able western boundary, consistent with their former acts whUe a colony under
the power of Great Britain, and agreeable to their just rights of soil and juris-
diction at the commencement of the present war, and that free from any condi-
tions and restrictions whatever.
Certain of the claims of the memorialists are sustained by the committee
and confirmation of their purchases recommended, while others are con-
demned. The outline of a national Indian policy wiU be referred to
later, as also the pledge of suitable method of opening up the territory for
settlement by a new system of quadrilateral surveying based perhaps on the
suggestion contained in the Connecticut resolution of cession, adopted at
Hartford on the 12th of October, 1780,
Always provided that the said lands to be granted be laid out and srareyed in
Townships in regular form to a suitable number of settlers, ui such manner as
win best promote the settlemeot and cultivation of the same according to the
true spirit and principles of a republican state.
''The original ms. report of this commission is in the Papers of the Continental
Congress, No. 30, pp. 15-27. There are, aprarently, none of the vouchers referred to
as submitted by the states in elucidation of their claims among the papers, nor can
there be found " the written paper hereto aEne.xed and numbered twenty " which the
report states was delivered by the Virginii delegates on their final refusal to sub-
mit proof.

made of the marriage of Sarah Snow to Daniel Hamilton of Monomoit 9 Aug.
1708, but her identity is left in doflibt. That she was the widow of Joseph'
Snow seems to be established by tbe following testimony : •' Nathaniel Snow

Woods, a correctios.— In "Genealogical and Personal Memoirs Relating
to the Families of Boston and Eastern Massachusetts," i vols., New York
Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1908, there is a remarkable pedigree'
pages 21U-I5, of tlie -(Voods famUy. The line of Benjamin Woods of Unity
Me., who was bom there 2i Jan. 1828, is given as follows: Samuel,' Nathan-
iel.' Jonathan,' Joseph. < Jo.seph'.
Of Jonathan,' bom at Groton, Mass., 4 June 1715, it is stated that he " prob-
ably was among the erst of the Woods colony that went into the province of
New Hampshire, although the year of his emigration and the place of his set-
tlement in that region is not known" ; but inasmuch as he never lived beyond
the confines of Groton and its West Parish (Pepperell), and died at Pepperell
( see Register, ante. p. 39), the statement Is extraordinary. As for Jonathan's
son Joseph,' he died young, in 1751, as records show, and therefore was not
I' mentioned as one of the early settlers of Mason, New Hampshire, where dur-
ing the period of his residence he appears to have been a person of consider-
able importance " and " eventually went into the adjoining province of Maine •
and he did not marry -• Mary Waugh," as related in the pedigree. '
The Joseph Woods who married Mary Waugh ( see Register, ante, p 148")
was born at Pepperell 3 Jan. 1.54, son of Moses' (Nathaniel'-, Samuel'), and he
never moved from Ma^n, N. H., dying there 11 May 1830, aged 76 fsee Hist of
Mason, p. 186;. ^
The Joseph^' of the pedigree, who " is believed to have been bom in Standish
Maine," was not son of Joseph and Mary ( Waugh) because their son Joseph
was bom in Mason, N. H., 27 Oct. 1782, and there married, 6 June 1804 Nancv
Ditson. ■'
The father of Benjamin' of Unity, Me., was bom 22 Sept. 1778, and died 13
Jan. 1872, according to information obtained from his grandson, and I am un-
able to place him m tbe Groton family of Woods.

meeting place, and fr.;-m this it doubtless took its name of Liberty Tree"." Is
not this statement soniewhat ambiguous, and calculated to give the impression
that the Great Elm anc the Liberty Tree were one and the same? We in Boston
of course know that s^ch was not the case, but those at a distance might easily
be led astray. The famous Liberty Tree was not on the Common at all but
stood on the east side of Orange (now Washington) Street, just south of Essex
Street and directly opf-'-site Frog Lane (now Boylston Street). A representa-
tion of the tree, with an inscription, is placed on the outside of the building
numbered 630 Washington Street. "

286 Notes [July
Presumably Shurtleff refers to the map of Boston published in the Boston
Maqazine for October, 1784. It is worth whUe to trace the genesis of that map.
Shurtleff say? that " it is styled • A New and Accurate Plan of the Towti of
Boston in New England,' and, like the London Magazine map, and Jeffery's maps,
gives to the Great Elm on the Common the name of • Liberty Tree ' " (p. 96).
Shurtleff further says :
" In the London Magazine for April, 1774, U pnblishrf, engraved by J. Lodge, ' A Chart of
the Coast of New England, from Beverly to bcituate Uirbor, including the Torts of Boston and
SaUin ' the plate measuring 10 by 7>i inches, a nealK engraved • Plan of the Town of Boston '
occupies one corner of the plate On the twenlT-ninth of November, 17:4, Thomas Jef-
(erys 'Geographer to his Koyal Highness the Princ« of Wales," published according to Act
•A M'apof the most Inhabited part of New EngUnd, containing the Provinces of Massachu-
setts Bay and New Hampshire, with the Colonies of Conecticut and Rhode Island. Divided
into Counties and Townships. The whole composed from actual curveys, and its situiitiun ad-
justed by astronomical observations.' This contains in one corner the London Magazine Map
enlarged... . The same plan was copied for * The American Alias' by Mr. Thomas .lefferys.
Geographer to the King, and printed and sold in London by K. Saver and J. Bennett, in 1778"
(pp.'w, M).
It thus appears that the map in the Boston Migazine for October, 1784, can be
traced back directly to the map in the Lond-m Magazine, for April, 1774 (xliii,
165). A map made in England is obviously not authoritative on the point under
discussion.
It is extremely surprising, it may be remarked in conclusion, that Shurtleff,
though careful to state that in 1784 the Liberty Tree had " been taken down,"
apparently mentions the Liberty Tree only in connection with the Great Elm on
the Common, and nowhere indicates the precise spot where the Liberty Tree
stood. Albkbt Matthbws-

Messenger.— Extracts from an old account book belon^g to the Messenger
family, and now in the hands of Edgar Messenger of Jamestown, N. Y.
The first entry in this account book appears to be June 9, 1761, and is as fol-
lows : " Sheffield, June 9, 1761. Samuel Messenger. Dr. To a part of a kettle
and a pair of cards and buckets, 0 : 12 : 2." It appears from this book that the
fa Jiily lived in Sheffield during 1761. and there is an account dated '■ Egerimont,"
February 8, 1762. Several memoranda are dated Great Barrington in 1763.
The book appears to have been owned by Daniel Messenger, who had accounts
with Samuel Messenger in July, 1763; with Andrew Messenger in 1771, and
with Roderick Messenger in 1763 and 1771, and appears to have settled with him
at " Burlinton," Mar. 28, 1779. There is also an account with Roderick Mes-
senger, dated " Ruport," August 21, 1776, where they both .signed a settlement.
Also an account dated " LenLx," Mar. 17, 1777. and another dated Lenox ye 14,
1779_evidently meant to be May 14, judging from other accounts on the same
page. He appears to have been in Lenox in 1783, '^, '89, and there is a settle-
ment with Lemuel Collms.
I find some accounts in this book dated Pompey, January and February, 1803,
and it is presumed that this is Pompey, N. Y.. as the family afterwards lived in
Onondaga Comity, N. Y. Mention is made of these dates and places, as possibly
they may be of some assistance to those who have been looking up the history
of the Messenger family.
The following are records which I find in this book :

Two Seth Chapixs.— Up to the present time it has been accepted as a fact
that there was but one Lieut. Seth Chapin in the American army during the
Revolution, and that he was of Mendon'. My investigations show conclusive-
ly that there were two Lieut. Seth ChapLns, one of Mendon, and one of
Newport.
The foUowmg two items prove the existence of a Lieut. Seth Chapin of New-
port:
(1) "Sheth Chapin. 28 years old. Enlisted 12 May 1775, bom at Newport,
R. I. Blacksmith. Capt. Topham's Co., Col. Churches Regt." (Register, vol.
55, p. 82).
(2) " Seth Chapin. appointed July 19, 1777, Lieutenant, of Newport, Newport
Co., family resides at Tiverton, Newport Co." Dated 1 Aug. 1779, Bristol (R. I.
Rolls, vol.' 5, p. 19).
The fact that he was of Newport ( which word occurs so often that it can
not have been other than intentional), that he had a family living at Tiverton,
and that he was a blacksmith, entirely destroys the theory of his identity with
the Lieut. Seth of Mendon, who at this time was of Mendon, with a family liv-
ing there, and who was a veomau and not a blacksmith. The separate existence
of Seth of Newport i> further brought out by a suit m the Washington County
(R. I.) Court, in 1773 (H., p. 425).
That this Lieut. Seth Chapin of Newport, who was "appointed July 19 1777,"
was the Lieut. Seth Chapin of Col. Sherbom's regunent, the foUowing clearly
" Seth Chapin, 1st Lieut in 3rd Co.. Capt. James Webb, Col. Henry Sher-
bom's Regt. from 1 June to 21 July 1778. Appointed 19 July 1777." Dated White
Plains July 21 ( R. I. RoUs, vol. 4, p. lU. also pp. 99, 119-120).
Furthemiore it is much more likelv that Seth of Newport should be lieuten-
ant in Sherborn's Rhode Island Regiment, than that Seth of Mendon, Mass.,
should be an officer in it. j . .,,
Now it follows that it was Lieut. Chapin of Newport, who captured the Eng-
lish brig in Narragansett Bay in December of 1778, for the only authority we
have for this, the >r.yridenr.e Gazette of Dec. 19, 1778, states that it was Lieut.
Chapin of Col. Sherbom's regiment. Several other things point to its being
Seth of Newport. In the first place there is no tradition in the family of Seth
of Mendon that he performed such a feat, and tradition seizes upon less re-
markable events to perpetuate where the excuse exists. Secondly, we know that
Seth of Newport was in the army at the time ( R. I. Rolls, vol. 4, pp. 98, 103, 116 ;
and Pension Office, Washington), while we do not know that Seth of Mendon
was then serving. Thirdly, as the scene of the capture was near Newport,
where he doubtless knew his ground, it is more likely to have been Seth of
Newport who was concerned, and not Seth of Mendon, who lived inland.
The next question that confronts us is. which Seth was spy in Rhode Island
in 1778-9. Crowell's ■• Spirit of '76," p 1>1, states that it was Lieut. Chapin of
Col. Sherbom's regiment. This seems the most probable, as it did in the pre-
cedino- case, and for the same reasons, namely that the spy service was earned
on near Newport where Seth of Newport had a chance to know the lay of the
land • that it required a knowledge of boating, and that Seth of Newport prob-
ably was more proficient in this respect than the Mendon lieutenant ; that we
> See Field's " Esek Hopkins," p. 20S. This also contains a picture of Lieut.
Seth Chapin of Mendon, not Lieut. Seth CliiTiin of the Proiidence, as is stated under
290 Xotes [July
know that Seth of Newport was seniug apparently continnously in the antiy
during the spy serrice period of 17'>-9 (R. I. RoUs. vol. 4, pp. 98, 103, 116, etc.),
aud that he was paid for bemg absent from his resiraent in July, August and No-
vember. 1779 ( K. I. Archives, Council of War, pp. 23, 30). while we have good
reason to believe that Seth of Mendon was not continually in service ( Mass.
Rolls, vol. 26, p. 130; 28, p. 54). Besides, a Mr. Barker of Newport assisted the
spy Chapm in his work, and if the spy was the Newport man he would doubt-
less have been acquainted with Barker before the war— a point which would
have tended to induce the American general to pick him out rather than a stran-
ger from Massachusetts.
On the other hand we have the statement of the son of Lieut. Seth Chapin of
Mendon that his father was a spy in Rhode Island in 1778-9. when in 1840 this
son applied to the United States Government for tae pension due to his deceased
father. The pension was not granted, because the other services were not of
sufficient duration, and there were -• no particulars " given concerning the spy
service (Letter from Pension Office). Certainly the son would have given
some " particulars" if he had known them, since by so doing he might have ob-
tained the pension— the more as he paid his brothers and sisters quit claims
amounting to $25.00 for their share of their fathers pension. The question
now arises how he came to have the idea that his father was a spy, if his father
had not really been one. This, however, can easily be explained by the fact that in
1 833, several years before he made his application, evidence had been submitted to
the Pension Office from Providence (where the son of Seth Chapin of Mendon
was then living) showing incidentally that a Lieut. Chapin had been a spy in Rhode
Island in 1778. It is more than probable that Seth Chapin's son heard of this
and, knowing that his father served in Rhode Island in August 177.8 ( Mass.
Rolls, vol. 26, p. 130), drew the conclusion, quite naturally, that the spy must
have been his father. This would explain why he could give " no particulars"
of the spy service. That In the pension claim Seth of Mendon is not men-
tioned as being of Col. Sherbom's regiment adds weight to this hvpothesis.
Furthermore there is no tradition among the other branches of the family that
Seth of Mendon served as a spy. A tradition, of course, proves nothing, but
the absence of a tradition is, circumstantially, good negative evidence for sup-
posing that a remarkable occurrence did not happen ; for the imusual is gener-
ally rnagnifled and but rarely ignored.
If ye should admit for the moment that Lieut- Seth of Mendon was the .spy
we would be confronted with the fact that during the winter of 1778-9 there were
two 1st Lieut. Seth Chapins acting as spies in command of a small boat and a
half-dozen men cruising on the Sakonnet River. The possibility of this, con-
sidering the danger due to the season of the year and the condition of the war,
is too slight to be considered, so that Seth of Newport must be accepted both
as the hero of the brig and as the spy.
Having proved that Lieut. Seth of Newport was accustomed to boats, it cer-
tainly seems more probable that he. a Rhode Islander too. would be commis-
sioned lieutenant on board the ship Providence in 1776. At that time Seth of
Newport was apparently not serving in the army, so that he would have been
free to serve in the marines, while on the other hand we know that Seth of
Mendon was then in the army ( Mass. RoUs, vol. 43, p 222: vol. 28, pp. 25, 119;
R. I. Ser., vol. I, p 135). Furthermore the signature of Seth of Mendon
diflers materially from that of Seth of the Proridi'nce, while there is no tradi-
tion in the family that Seth of Men-don ever servel on shipboard.
In 1780 a Seth Chapin was commissioned captain in Rh.xle Island. (R. I.
Col Rec, pr. vol 9, p. 197). This was doubtles^s Seth of Newport, who as a
Rliode Islander and a spy was certainly in line for advancement in Rhode Island.
Lieut. Seth Chapin of Mendon was habitually so called throughout his life, which
seems to show that it was not he who was commissioned captain.
We have in general outlined the lailitary sen ice of Seth of Newport, and as
Seth of Mendon has many descendants ' we subjoin a brief sketch of his mili-
tary career.
He first enlisted as a corporal in Capt. John Albee's (1st) company of vol-
unteers, which marched from Mendon to Roxburv on the Lexington alarm, 19
April 1775, serving 9 days ( Mass. Arch. vol. 2, p.'l81) : as 2d lieutenant in Capt.
Sam. Craggms' (1st) company. Col. Ezra Woodss ( Worcester Co.) regiment,

p. 222). This companv served under General Sullivan at the battle of Long Is-
land. 27 Aug. 1776, and'Seth Chapin was also paymaster {exinform. D. E. Fisk).
He was advanced to the office of 1st lieutenant and, enlisting Dec. 8, 1776,
served in Rhode Island till January 21, 1777 (Mass. Arch., R. I. Ser., vol. 1. p.
13.5). It was probably at this time that he was quartered in University Hall,
Brown University. He was in service 15 May 1778 (Rev. Res., vol. 202, p.
I9i)>. and again in Julv 1778, when he joined Gen. Sullivan's expedition against
Newport (Mass. Arch., vol. 26, p. 130; and Pension Office, Washington). He
served twice in 1779. once in August (Mass. Arch., vol. 28, p. 54), and once In
September. His last service was in Rhode Island on the alarm of July 27, 1780,
when he served 16 davs (Mass. Rolls, vol. 1, pp. 2, 30).

Ananias Conkling and his brother John were interested in the glass works in
Salem, Mass., as early as 1638. A son of Ananias is supposed to be the John
Conkling who led the family west into the state of New York. The line is
brought down to Susan Conkling, who married, in 1846. Charles Prosch, whose
father WUIiam, of Hanoverian parentage, was bom in Europe in 1786. William
Prosch had married Christiana Dotter of ThnriuKn, and these two young Ger-
mans came to America in 1811. Charles Prosch was a painter by trade. He
became one of the pioneer settlers of the Pacific coast, and the interesting details
of his experiences during the early days form the most valuable feature of this
narrative, which contains an unusual amount of information besides the gene-
alogy of the family.

If others, who are descendants of German stock of comparatively recent
American adoption, would make as determined and persistent an effort as the
author of this book shows to establish authentically the connection with the
family in the Fatherland, and get accurate records from parish registers in doing
so, they would be producing a work whose value and usefulness would be con-
stantly" increasing. Johann Christoph Voigt and his wife Johanna Elisabeth
(Gimm) were both in America in 1848. One of their grand-daughters, Augusta
Virginia (Voigt) Johnson, has succeeded in tracing the Gimm line back several
generations in Germany, and is at work on the Voigt family. The book is ar-
tistically bound in limp green leather. It is to be hoped that Mrs. Johnson
will continue to bring out the records of various branches of her family.

Peter Shumway, the son of Peter the emigrant, was bom Ln 1678, and in 1750
presented for a second time a petition to the General Court wherein he recited
tfeat he was of Oxford, the son of Pet«r of Topsfield, and asked for some gratuity
for the service rendered by his father during the Narragansett War. Although
there is no absolute proof of the fact, the tradition that Peter Shumway vras a
French Huguenot is undoubtedly true. The genealogy is not srouped by gene-
rations, as is usually done in works of this size, but the preface states that the
plan is " to run out the line of posterity through the oldest chUd in each suc-
cessive family." There is a good index, however. The genealogy is a valuable
amd useful addition to any library, and of interest to genealogists and thousands
of descendants.

The discussion aroused by some of the general statements made here has been

volume is filled with biographical sketches of some of the Loyalists, and the
author states that he has yet enough material to fill another volume if he receives

branches of the farnQy that lived in Ipswich, copying the earlier generations
from the Kinsman Genealogy of 1876. A record of nine generations of the de-

less than forty pages are filled with an account of the Ipswich descendants of
John Brown, many of their homesteads being shown on the Candlewood plan.

" The Inheritance of ability in American families has never been studied scien-

the score, and plenty of biographical dictionaries and histories with the needed
material." Considering the fact that Dr. Woods regrets that very little of what
has been published on the subject of heredity is of real use to future investi-
gators, it would seem that genealogical work has found a new sphere of useful-
ness in furnishing material for this infantile science.

EDWARD HENRY WHORF
By Walter Faxon of Lexington, Mass.
Edward Henry Whorf, a member of this Society since the
year 1903, died in Boston on the fifteenth of March, 1910. He
was the only child of Sylvanus Henry and Henrietta (Faxon)
Whorf, and was bom at Winchester, Mass., on the sixth of May,
1851. He wae a descendant, in the ninth generation, of John'
Wafte or Whorf of Charlestown, Mass. (1645) ; later generations
of his paternal ancestors were, I believe, seafaring people who had
homes in Provincetown at the extremity of Cape Cod. Through
his mother he was a descendant, in the ninth generation, of Thomas'
Faxon who settled as a farmer in Braintree, Maas., before 1647.
After the death of her husband, in 1858, Mrs. Henrietta Whorf
resided chiefly in the village of Jamaica Plain, Mass., the home of
her nearest kindred, and there her son received such education as
was furnished by the suburban public schools of that period. On
leaving the high school in 1867 he was employed as clerk and sales-
man by Thomas E. Proctor, a leather merchant of Boston, remain-
ing in his service until the year 1875, when he was appointed treas-
urer's clerk of the then newly-built Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn
Railroad. His connection with this railway lasted till 1882. Dur-
ing this period he held in succession the offices of assistant treasurer,
assistant superintendent, and (from 1877 to 1882) superintendent.
Mr. Whorf was married at Boston on the twelfth of December,
1877, to Eliza Frances Cutler. He then built himself a house on
the heights of Revere, overlooking the sea, where he resided during
the term of his connection with the Lynn railway.
In 1882 he was called to superintend the building of the Tampico
division of the Mexican Central Railway. He lived in Tampico
irntU 1886, and in San Luis Potosi from 1886 to 1889, when he re-
moved to the City of Mexico as assistant manager of the whole
Mexican Central Railway system. From 1895 to 1898 he served as
general manager of the Mexican Industrial Railways, City of Mexico.
On the death of his maternal uncle Edwin Faxon, in 1898, Mr.
Whorf returned to Boston, where he resided, in the Dorchester dis-
VOL. LXIV. 22
304 Edirard Henry Whorf [Oct,
trict, concerned with matters pertaining to real estate and trust, up
to the time of his fatal illness toward the end of February, 1910.
It was during these later years in Boston that Mr. "Whorf found
the time and means to indulge his ta^te for historical and genealogi-
cal research. He brought together a valuable library composed of .
books and pamphlets relating to Mexico and the rest of Spanish
North America, ilany of these volumes he gave to the Cambridge
Public Library during his lifetime, and he bequeathed the rest of
them to the same library, together with money for keeping the col-
lection up to date. He was active in furthering the work of the
New England Historic Genealogical Society and the Society of
Mayflower Descendants. In the former he served on the Committee
on Collection of Records and on the Library, and in the latter he
held the office of historian general.
He was of a cahn and even temper, and exceedingly kind to those
■who had occasion to draw upon his stores of special knowledge.
The only impatience he ever showed (and that was of a gentle sort)
was called forth by cases of inexcusable superficiality and inacciu-acy
in research. He himself belonged to the tenax propositi type of
man. His persistence in his chosen lines of investigation was extra-
ordinary, and yet his mind quickly kindled in response to the intellec-
tual interests of his friends, who found in most cases, to their amaze-
ment, that these transmitted interests were not superficial and tran-
sitory with him, but deep and abiding. To those who were closely
boimd to him by ties of friendship or of blood his loss is overwhelm-
ing and irreparable.
Mr. Whorf is survived by his widow, two sons, a daughter, a
daughter-in-law, and a grandson.
Mr. Charles T. McCotter of Boston, who was associated with
Mr. Whorf in Mexico, has kindly furnished me with the subjoined
accoimt of his career as a railway manager :
"It was in 1880, through the telephone, that the writer became
acquainted with Edward H. Whorf. The lines of the telephone
company, to the north, ran along the right of way of the Boston,
Eevere Beach and Lynn Raili-oad, with a testing station in the dis-
patcher's office. One wire was devotetl to the service of the railroad,
and Mr. TNTiorf was undoubtedly the tirst person to use the telephone
in place of the telegraph to direct the movement of trains. It was
in this service, as assistant to Mr. Whorf, that an official relationship
began which lasted for ten years, during which time the writer was
his immediate subordinate.
"Mr. AVhorf's career as a railroad man began in April, 1875, as
clerk to the treasurer of the Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn Rail-
road, which was then imder construction, and which was opened for
traffic on July 29, 1875. On November 1, 1876, he was appointed
assistant superintendent, and on January 13, 1877, he became super-
1910] Edicard Henry Wiorf 305
intendent. He compiled tlie first book of rules and regulations for
the railroad, and the systematizing of the service was his work.
"Although the ' Narrow Gauge,' as it is familiarly called (never
without a protest from Mr. AVhorf), is a short line, its operation is
much more of a problem than that of some other railroads many
tunes its length. At that time it had but a single track, limited
rolling stock and motive power, and the successfid operation of the
road was further complicated by its ferry service. The great crowds
on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays were handled successfully only
by attention to every detail, and Mr. Whorf was a master of detail.
He believed that efficient railroad service coidd best be obtained by
discipline like that of an army with an absolute head. This respon-
sibility he was willing and able to assume, and it used to be said
that everything on the railroad, including shovels and spikes, had a
string attached to it which ran to the superintendent's office.
"His successful management of the Boston, Revere Beach and
Lvnn Railroad attracted the attention of the president of the Mexican
Central Railway Company, and on June 22, 1882, Mr. Whorf re-
signed his position to become superintendent of the Tampico division
of the Mexican Central Railway. This division was about 275 miles
in length, with 30 miles of a very rugged character. A great deal
of money had been spent on its construction with very unsatisfactory
results.
" Tampico is situated on the Panuco River a few miles from the
Gulf of Slexico. The first twenty mdes of the railroad lay through
low swamp land with a rich soil, the upturning of which during the
rainy season resulted in a great deal of sickness and many deaths.
Labor was scarce, and the inhabitants of the higher altitudes could
not be induced to come to the coast. Negroes from Jamaica were
brought, but as a rule they were worthless as laborers. The result
was that when Mr. Whorf took charge he found himself with a lot
of tangled affairs which had its parallel in some degree in the early
days of the Panama Canal construction.
"There had been a great lack of system, and Mr. Whorf dis-
covered that his first task was to inaugurate an adequate one.
Everrtliing for the construction of the road had to be brought from
Europe or the United States. A bar at the mouth of the river
prevented vessels drawing over six feet from bringing in their cargoes.
This necessitated the piu-chase of tugs and lighters. Steamers loaded
%vith rails, di-awing too much water to pass the bar, were collecting
charges for damages almost equal to then- freight charges. The
vessels anchored in an open roadstead, and on the day the writer
arrive<l in Tampico a sudden ' Norther ' had blown two lighters down
the coast where they were wrecked with their cargoes.
" Tiie company's outfit consisted of thousands of head of live stock,
cart;, scrapers, ploughs, etc., employed in the construction of the
306 Edward Henry ]n,orf [Oct.
road. There could hardly have been a greater contrail than there was
between the duties of ^Mr. Whorf" s former position and those of his
present one. Thej brought him into contact at times with federal
and state officisxls, men of the highest character : yet the next day
he might be under the necessity of having intimate dealings with
6ome man who would not hesitate to kill another for a hundred dol-
lars if he thought it possible to escape detection. The company
itself had in its employ many men who would hardly pass the re-
quirements of a bonding company. Examples of this could be found
in the company of guards employed by the railway company. All
payments had to be made in silver which was brought by pack trains
do«-n the mountains from the interior. To protect these money
trains, which carried on some trips very large sums, it was neces-
sary to have a company guard. A man was secured for captain
whose courage and honesty were imdoubted, and he was allowed to
pick his own men. He followed the principle which President Diaz
is said to have followed in ridding the centre of the country of bandits
and in forming his Rurales. He hired the desperadoes as members
of the guard, and paid them to protect the company's money. For
the company the idea was a success, as not a dollar was lost. On
one occasion, however, when the captain was escorting the money
train the lieutenant was left in charge of the storehouses, corrals,
etc. Being found asleep at his post he was discharged. A few days
afterwards the money train delivered $18,000 to a contractor ten
miles above the end of track. That night a band of robbers, \vith
the lieutenant at its head, robbed the camp. They were all arrested,
but the money was never recovered. The heutenant served his term,
and when the writer left Mexico was chief of pohce of one of the
principal cities.
" Mr. WhorFs experience with the Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn
Kaib-oad had been almost wholly in railroad operation, but in Mexico
it included every phase of raikoad construction from preluninaiy
survey to operation. The variety of the work was much to his lik-
ino-. Weeks of office work would be followed by a month on horse-
back, campmg at night in tents. There were strenuous days of
mountain climbing during which he followed the prehminary surveys
of the engineers. Without detracting from the credit due to the
eno-ineers who laid out the line through the Tamasopo Caiion, it
may be said that it was the work of many men, one replacing an-
other, but almost from the first' survey until the last spike was driven
the final decisions were made by Mr. "Whorf. Into all this out-of-
door work he entered with zest. His horse was always in the lead,
and in the climbs he was next to the guide. He took especial pleas-
ure in exploring some of the Aztec mounds, and some of his ' finds '
are now deposited in the Peabody Museum at Cambridge, Mass.
He made several horse-back trips in search of coal and oil through
the parts of ^Mexico rarely visited. One party of railroad men in-
cluded the late Henry B. Stone, general manager of the Chicago,
i;'10] Edicard Henry Whorf 307
Biirlington and Quincy Eailroad, who, after tlie trip, said tliat he
wi'iikl not liave missed it for ten thousand dollars and would not
make it again for one hundred thousand.
" During liis first years in ^Mexico Mr. Whorf was in absolute
control of the Tampico division, and reported directly to the Boston
office. "When ^Ir. Edward Jackson became general manager of
the main line ^Ir. Whorf was made assistant general manager of
the whole Mexican Central Eailway system, 1700 miles in length,
with headquarters in the City of Mexico, with the Tampico division
still under his immediate supervision while in charge of the opera-
tion of the whole system. Here his remarkable capacity for details
was again demonstrated, and if the spikes and shovels did not have
strings attached to them there was little of value on the entire sys-
tem about which direct information coidd not be obtained from the
files in his office.
" While very exacting in his demands of service from his subor-
dinates, he was a man of very even temper, and every employee was
treated as an individual and not as part of a machine. In his en-
deavors to get the best service from his men he tried some strange
experiments. On one occasion he notified the conductors that the
company was going to discontinue all spotter service and depend
upon the conductors as a body to see that the members were honest
in their dealings with the company. They were members of the
Order of Eailway Conductors, and he thought they knew who were
the dishonest ones. The Company was going to leave it to them as
a body either to make the men honest or to oblige them to resign.
" A friend from the interior called on Mr. AMiorf one day and
was asked by him why he had not applied for a pass as usual. He
replied that he had come very hurriedly and did not have the time even
to buy a ticket, but had paid his fare on the train. The conduc-
tors report did not show any cash fare, and when he was questioned
he admitted that he had kept the money. He said that he had
never done so before, and Mr. Whorf told him that he woidd give
him another chance. Some time afterwards Mr. Whorf had reason
to think that another f:ire had not been turned in. He sent again
for the conductor, who again admitted that he had kept the money.
He luuided in his keys, pimch and badge, but !Mr. Whorf handed
them back to him and said : ' I think you can be honest if you try,
and I am going to give you another chance, with the proviso that
it' you are tempted to steal again do not wait for me to find it out —
resign." In a short time the conductor came into the office and
nirning in his company property, said, ' It's no use, I\Ir. Whorf, I
ctm't do it.' It is hard to say what the moral is in this case, but
Mr. Whorf' thought he had brought out the manly part of the
individual. He firmly believed tiiat a man who had made a slip or
mistake might be a ni'jre valuable man in the future because of it,
ii' he was dealt with in the rit^it way.
308 Edward Henry Whorf [Oct.
""\Mien jNIt. AVhorf severed his connection with tlie ^lexican
Central Railway, in IStU, he remained in Mexico for some tune,
and his last raili-oad work was on the ]Mexican Industrial Railway,
■which was promoted and built by him and ]Mr. S. W. Reynolds,
the former president of the ^Mexican Central Railway Company, to
which it was afterwards sold and of which it is now a pan.
";Mr. Whorf was a man of great patience and persistency, with
ideas of loyalty and fidelity to his employers that are not common.
He followed them in the smallest matters. He thought no employee
ought to call the Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn Railroad the 'Xarrow
Gauge,' as it unplied inferiority. One employe^? who. in a spirit of
fun, made an elaborate pen and ink drawing, wi:h a skull and cros*-
bones at the head, showing the death rate of the principal cities
of the world with that of Tampico leading all the rest, nearly lost
his position. Mr. "VMiorf told him that if he did not like the con-
ditions he could leave, but it was disloyal to call attention to any-
thing that made the company's task more difiiciilt.
'' Opportunities for profitable investments in Mexico were fre-
quent, but Mj. "Whorf dealt with these opportunities as he did with
an offer from the proprietor of one of the large plantations on the
line of the road. This man, who was an intimate friend, offered
him the opportunity to invest a small sum of money in raising com,
for which there was an active demand. 'Six. "Whorf replied that he
had certain old fashioned ideas of which he conld not divest him-
self, and one was that when a man received a salary for his services,
if there was no proviso to the contrary, his employer was entitled
to his whole time, and he ought not have an interest in anything
that could in any way divide his attention. On another occasion,
when a subordinate was made an offer to become a member of a
contracting firm just finishing one contract with the company and
about to take another, Mr. "Whorf notified him that if he became a
member of the firm a new contract would not l:»e given to it. His
reason was that the relations between him and his subordinate had
been so intimate that the public might believe that he represented
Jklr. "Whorfs interest.
" Mr. Whorfs aversion to anything that might be interpreted as
self-advertising was such that he paid no attenrion to repeated re-
quests for data about his life for a "VVho's Who directory. He turn-
ed over the request to the ^^Tite^ with instructions to limit himself to
dates and facts, and to ' cut it short.' It was perhaps the same
feeling that led him to speak but rarely of his ofcnal life in Mexico,
and many of his intimate friends and relations have no idea of the
importance of his work there. Among the builders of modem
Mexico, however, his ability and worth are recog:iLzed and esteemed,
and the influence of his character and example upon his subordi-
nates will be reflected in the railroad eervice o: Mexico long after
his name is forgotten,"

First Ownership of Ohio Lands [Oct.
FIEST OWNERSHIP OF OHIO LANDS
By Albion Morris Dyer, A.M., of Cleveland, Ohio
[Continued from page 2S'il
The settlement offered by the report on ces-rions and claims afforded the
means to Congress, as the natural possessor of all the crown lands within
the confines of the United States, to dispose of the same according to the
pledges of the resolution of October 10, 1780. Provisions needful for such
a course were contained in the report, and no determined opposition remain-
ed in Congress, save only the Virginians. In addition to the references to
cessions and claims the report advises indemnification for the expenses of the
Clark campaigns, recommends a policy of jMtemal handling of the Indians,
and outlines a plan of extension of the settlements and expansion of gov-
ernment over the western territory. All that remained to be done, had
this report endured, was for Congress, as the executive head of the United
States in the exercise of right descending logically from the British crown,
to proceed as convenient to carry out its provisions, to settle matters with
the Indian tribes, and to dispose of all the lands from the greater moun-
tains of the All^hanies to Louisiana, and from Florida to Quebec, for the
joint use and benefit of the United States. But Congress deliberately gave
up this great advantage. The report was laid aside. 2>o action was taken
on it as a whole, and no separate part of it was ever submitted to vote.
The end of the war approaching brought other mighty problems : the shift-
ing of Congress from a martial to a civil base, and the " forming arrange-
ments for the United States in time of peace." Examination of the
minutes of Congress of this period seems to show that much of this busi-
ness moved along on the theory that the land controversy was finally set-
tled by this report.
But the Virginia delegation had never relaxed opposition to that portion
of the report pertaining to their own cause. They demanded a rule re-
quiring pledge of personal disinterest in the claims from each delegate
voting, they moved for postponement whenever opportunity arose, and they
constantly pressed the acceptance of the Virginia cession as a ready rem-
edy for all the fiiiaiicial woes which developed in the stress of debate. For
more than a year the fight kept up, and in the end the Virginians won.
They secured the recommitment of that portion of the report and a final
reconsideration of the question of accepting the conditional cession of the
commonwealth. The New Jersey delegates filal a protest of the legisla-
ture against re-opening the question, and the Maryland delegation proposed
a declaration*' for the immediate disposition of the lands. Congress disre-
garded these apparently just complaints and, choosing to hold a portion
only of the disputed territory, and that on a federal and not a national basis,
voted on the 13th of September, 1783, to accept the Virginia cession, with
all conditions approved, except the guaranty of reserved lands" and the
"The New Jersey protest is entered on the minutes of Congress under date of June
20, 1783, and the Maryland declaration September 13, 1783. Later, March 1, 1784,
George Morgan, the memorialist of 1779, re-ippeared, demanding a hearing on his
grievance " that the Commonwealth of Virginia still continued to claim the lands of
the Indiana Company.**
•^ The reason offered for this decision aj to the guaranty is thns expressed :
CoDgres? cannot acre*- to guarantee to the commonwealth of Virginia the land described in
1910] First Oionership of Ohio Lands 357
invalidation of the Indian titles called for in the Virginia resolution of
ces^ion.
The action in Congress on the Virginia cession took the form of agree-
meot to a report reviewing the eight conditions formerly named, and sub-
staDlially restating them all except the guaranty and invalidation clauses,
as conditions upon which the cession should be made, and recommending
thai " if the legislature of Virginia make a cession conformable to this re-
port. Congress accept such cession." Quick response followed this pro-
posal. The Virginia general assembly, October 20, 1783, "authorized
their delegates to convey to the United States in Congress assemble<l, all
the right of that commonwealth, to the territory north-westward of the
river Ohio." And the delegates did so, on the 1st day of March follow-
ing, by a proper deed of conveyance drawn on parchment in due form. *'
Meanwhile preparations to enter and occupy the hostile region across the
Ohio were in active progress in Congress, and little attention was spared
for further details of the cessions. Acts of cession followed in time from
all the claimant states, but not without renewed pressure*^ on the legisla-
tures and considerable anxiety as to the form of the cessions. But the
extent and conditions of the various cessions are well known matters of
historv, and the dates and circumstances of each act are easy matters of
reference. Weightier business was now pressing for attention in Con-
gress. Enough had been done already respecting the title to justify inime-
dia.te perfection of the programme of expansion of the government upon
that part of the crown lands which had been relinquished to the United
States by the cessions of New York and Virginia.
At the first signs of the coming of peace with Great Britain, Congress
turned to consider the Indian preliminary to the formal occupation of his
hunting grounds. The Indian policy outlined in the report on cessions
and claims was ready at hand. This was merely a brief expression of the
relations long subsisting in the colonies, and now recommended as a means
of more clearly defining and establishing the jurisdiction of Congress
regarding Indian affairs. It declares
That the sole right of superintending, protecting, treating with, and making
purchases of the Indian nations outside the state lines, is necessarily vested in
Cooaress for the benefit of the United States, that no person in separate capa-
city can, or ought to purchase any unappropriated lands belonging to the Indi-
ans, and that Congress has no claim in point of property of soil to lands belong-
ing to the Indians unless the same has been bona fide purchased of them, or shall
be purchased by Congress, and that at a public treaty to be held for that pur-
pose-
But before such a policy could be applied to the extensive regions beyond
the western frontiers matters had to be settled with the hostile nations,
who. abandoned by their late allies, were left stranded on the conquered
territory."
" The deed of Virginia is among the cession papers previously referred to in the
Libr:.rT of Congress, Division of Manuscripts; also the deeds of cession of Massa-
chu5*lts, executed April 19, 1785, Connecticut, September 13, 1786, South Carolina,

Georjiia, .\pril 24, 1802. In some cases a certified copy of the legislative act of cession
acco!n|.anies the deed.
« Resolutions of Congress agreed to April 18, 1783, and April 26, 1781.
« The Indians complained that they had not been consulted in the negotiations for
peac* aud declared they were not represented in the convention at Paris which had
signed away " their Island." Thev professed that belts had been exchanged with the
Ked-coats on an agreement " never to surrender their lands to the Americans," and
358 First Ownership of Ohio Lands [Oct.
"Letters from the Commander in Chief, and from the Generals" were
read in Congress, while the measures for cessation of hostilities were being
drawn, " informing of the sentiments of the Indians" in camp and on the
British side. Agents were despatched at once to the northern and western
frontiers to gather more news from the British posts. As soon as peace
was announced a resolution was agreed to in Congress ordering
That the Secretary at War take the most effectual measures to inform the sev-
eral Indian nations, on the frontiers of the United States, that preliminary arti-
cles of peace have been agreed on, and hostilities have ceased with Great Brit-
ain, and to communicate to them that the forts within the United States, and in
possession of the British troops, will speedily be evacuated ; intimating also
that the United States are disposed to enter into friendly treaty with the differ-
ent tribes; and to inform the hostile Indian nations that unless they immedi-
ately cease all hostilities against the citizens of these states, and accept of these
friendly proffers of peace, Congress wiU take the most 'decided measures to
compel them thereto.
A committee, of which James Duane of New York was chairman, was ap-
pointed to take the Indian situation into consideration and report thereon.
Meantime, to save the territory from invasion of settlers and to shield the
Indian from molestation until negotiations were concluded, an ordinance
was passed, September 22, and a proclamation issued prohibiting the settle-
ment and purchase of lands inhabited or claimed by the Indians. The
Duane report was ready the following^ month. It reviews the sentiments
of the Indians and considers the situation from their standpoint, refers to
their resentment against their late allies, and the natural advantage to the
Americans which might be made of this feeling as a protection on the
Canadian frontiers. It estimates the effect of continuing hostilities with
the Indians "until all are driven into the protection of the British posts,"
and recommends a peaceable settlement by friendly negotiations with all
nations of Indians on the basis of a waiver by C-ongress of the rights of
conquest of the Indian lands and " atonement made by the Indians of the
enormities which they have perpetrated and a reasonable compensation for
the expenses wliich the United States have incurred by their wanton bar-
barities." It was proposed to ascertain and fix lines of property for the
Indians, by purchase if necessary, in which care ought to be taken neither
to yield nor require too much ; to accommodate the Indians as far as the
public will admit and to give some compensation for claims rather than to
hazard a war which will be much more expensive. Conventions for this
purpose were suggested to be held at various posts, and an ordinance to re-
gulate trade, with many items particularizing how trade should be carried
on. The report further declares
That nothing can avert the complicated and impending mischiefs, or secure to
the United States the just and important advantages which they ought to derive
from those territories, but the speedy establishment of government and the
regular administration of justice in such district thereof as shall be judged
most convenient for immediate settlement and cultivation.
As may well be supposed, this enlightened report met with general ac-
ceptance in Congress. Difference of opinion developed on one point only.
A resolution proposing a committee to report on the expediency of laying
out a suitable district within the territory, and erecting it into a distinct
government, etc., for settlement, gave way, after some debate, to a substi-

tote offered bv Elbridge Gerrv of Massachusetts, recommenrlinof prompt
action in thus extending the government over the territory in advance of
settlement without intervention of a committee to investigate its expediency.
The main l>ody of the report was agreed to, and the committee was con-
tinued to frame an ordinance to reguhite the Indian trade, and to draw
up deUiils of instruction for the treaty conventions.** As soon as the Vir-
ginia cession was concluded, these measures, with some alterations, were
put into operation. Five Commissioners were elected March 4, 1784,
to negotiate with the Indians in the northern and western departments, who
have taken up arms against the United States, for the purpose of receiving them
into the favor and protection of the United States, and of establishing boundary
lines of property for separating and dividing the settlements of the citizens
from the Indian villages, and hunting grounds, and thereby extinguishing as
far as possible all occasion for future animosities, disquiet and contention.
It was resolved that the negotiations should commence as soon as possible,
and the commissioners were "desired to meet in New York, April 10, and
fix upon times and places for holding the treaties with the different nations
and tribes of Indians." All prior appointments were revoked, and a forta
of commission was ordered to be prepared and laid before Congress by the
secretary, making any three of the commissioners competent to the business
of their commission. Thus began the series of purchase treaties, starting
at Fort Stanwix, whereby the United States fixed forever the legal status
of the American Indian, set him up on reservations, under precarious con-
ditions of intercourse with his neighbors, citizens of the republic."
Preparations for extending the settlements upon the new land were de-
veloping in Congress while the Indian matter was still under consideration.
The recommendations of the Gerry resolution on this subject were expanded
into a plan for a temporary government to apply to as much of the western
territory as the cessions and Indian purchases would admit. This was in
accordance with the pledge of October 10, 1780, and in conformity with
the report on cessions and claims filed November 3, 1781, which provided
for the erection "of a new state or states not exceeding 1.50 miles square,
to be taken into the federal union, and the same to be laid out into town-
ships of the quantity of about six miles square." All reasonable engage-
ments for lands to the military were to be made good, and bonajiie settlers
were to be " confirmed in their title to their reasonable settlements, on the
same terms as new settlements." This plan was taken up in Congress
immediately after the Virginia cession, and recommitted for further con-
sideration. A plan was reported by the committee April 19, 1784, and

passed after four days debate and considerable amendment, providing for
division of the territory into two distinct states by parallels of latitude and
meridians of longitude. A number of forms of this ordinance, found among
the papers of Congress, are of curious interest. No attempt was made to
put the plan into practice. In fact, all these first efforts at providing a
government for a fanciful state in the midst of an unbroken forest were
abandoned as premature. The Indian treaties were not yet settled, and
the actual purchase of soil had not been made. So all plans were dropped
for another year, and when they appeared again the subject matter of the
plan was divided, and there were two separate ordinances — one the land
ordinance of 1785, and the other the famous Ordinance of 1787.
The land ordinance of May 20, 178.5, made its preliminary appearance
in Congress early in March and passed througli several commitments until
reported April 14 by a grand committee in a form "for ascertaining the
mode of disposing of lands in the western territory." Thereafter the ordi-
nance was the subject of continuous attention until its final passage in
amended condition."
This is the act which the states had long desired, to open the coveted lands
of the Ohio. It defines a mode of subdividing the territory into small
parcels for quick sale, and names for the first offer a most desirable section.
The price is low per acre, to insure a ready market, and the terms easy, to
fit the infirmities of the times. The act thus made favorable was passed to
meet a public exigency, and its application was hastened to satisfy a supposi-
tive demand, which never existed, and to supply a quick revenue, which
never came. The subdivision of the soU into small areas was made in the
wilderness in heroic manner, as ordered, and the lands were offered at pub-
lic vendue to save time and trouble for purchasers, but the sales were so few,
and the returns in funds so inconsiderable, that the event itself is nearly
forgotten and its traces in the records are almost entirely lost.
The land ordinance of 1785 inaugurated a system of surveying which
was afterward perfected by practice and experience into that now in use in
almost every civilized country on earth. It replaced the customary method
of the ages, of locating by metes and bounds. The returns of homestead
settlement by description referring to familiar objects of the landscape —
60 much frontage on a river or lake, including so many acres, by lines
running to a tree or mountain as near as may be — would not apply in an
unknown wilderness. An exact rule was needed of locating accurately,
determinable by rod and chain, projected from an astronomical point
whereby " the homesteader could locate his hut by the stars of heaven, no
longer dependent on the whim or caprice of the overlord." The parcels
were to be " squares " formed by parallels and meridians, the lines run by
the compass and marked by chops on the trees as numbered towns and
ranges, the whole presentable in a checkered plat, from which the pur-
chaser might select his site. The first suggestion of the original ordinance
made these squares " hundreds," ten miles on a side, with one hundred
interior squares or lots of 640 acres each. The draft of April 26 reduces
the township to seven miles, with forty-nine interior lots, and the final
ordinance makes a further reduction to thirty-six lots, as now in use.'"
«The ordinance is entered on the minutes of Congress under date of April 26, and
again with the alterations on the date of its passage, May 20, 1785.
"This remarkable device of surveying, now known as the rectangular system, and
called " one of America's greatest inventions " (W. R. H. S. Tract No. 61, p 282), has
cot been traced to its origin. If the thread is ever picked up it will doubtless be found

ed for settlement, and substantial engagements for the establishment of
permanent relations of peace and friendship between the Indian and tne
Lttler." The treatv at Fort Stanwix, October 27, 1784, settled matters
on this basis with the northern Indians, and by a_ similar treaty at Fort

with mucli show of dignity and considerable display of military protection,
with great consumption of stores and exchanges of cash for wampum,
were deemed sufficient to insure pacific conditions for the land surveys.
But, " in order to give greater security to the frontier settlements, and
establish a boundary line between the United States and the Potawatoma,
Twightwees, Plankisliaw and other western nations," Congress ordered
a treaty, March 1 7, to be held with these Indians " at post Vincent on the
"Wabash river, on the 20th day of June or at such time or place as the
commissioners may find most convenient." Even with these treaties
there would still remain some uncertainty as to how the Shawnees
would regard the transfer of their lands made at Fort Stanwix and Fort
Mcintosh, and a special treaty with these tribes was ordered by Congress,
June 29, " to be held on the western bank of the Ohio, at the rapids, or at
the mouth of the Great Miami," and arrangements were made for the com-
missioners and military to attend.*'
Trusting that these accommodations would clear the frontiers of danger
for the execution of the land ordinance. Captain Hutchins rendezvoused his
men at Pittsburgh, the nearest point of approach to the scene of the sur-
veys, where he arrived September 3, 1785. Accounts current there res-
pecting the Indians were so very vague, uncertain, and unfavorable, that he
took counsel with the commandant at Fort -Mcintosh, who was of the
opinion " that he might very safely repair with the surveyors to the inter-
section of the west line of Pennsylvania with the Ohio," where he was to
begin the survey. Here, also, he met and counselled with General Butler en
route to the Shawnee meeting, and despatched a courier to the Indian
towns " requesting a chief from each of the Delaware and Wyandott na-
tions for the purpose of constantly attending the surveyors during their
being employed in the western territory ; " and having written to the Presi-
dent of Congress of his intentions, Capt. Hutchins took the current of the
Ohio, on September 22, for the place fixed by the land ordinance as the
starting point of the survey .^^
Arriving at Little Beaver Creek the geographer-general made camp at
the " point on the River Ohio found to be due north from the western ter-
mination of a line, which has been run as the southern boundary of the
state of Pennsylvania," there to await the return of his messengers and the
arrival of the chiefs for his escort. During the intermediate time he took
account of his equipment for the survey, '' ascertained the variation of the
different compasses belonging to the surveyors, and also the difference in
the lengths of their Gunther's chains."" He endeavored also '• to find out
" Gen. Samuel H. Parsons joined General Clark and General Butler as commis-
sioners for this treaty.
" As the letter despatched from Pittsburg to Congress was the first he had written
since receiring the copies of the ordinance which he was to put into operation, the
Geographer took the occasion to observe :
By the Ordiii.iDce of Congress I am Commanded to lay off each Township Six Miles Square,
by Lines running dae North & South, and oihers crossing these at riglit niigles as near as may
be; Permit me to ot>*erve that as we approach the Pole the Meridians have a gradnal inclination
towards each other outil they terminate in a point, therefore Six Miles square cannot be com-
prehendod within tli* Meridians, and it will be impossible for each Tonn«hip to contain 29,0«
Acres as intended bv Congress without adding in Latitude what may be wanting in Longi.
tnde.— I prai to be honored with Instructions on this Matter as eoon a-- Congress shall think
proper should ther d^-em it necessary to give directions at all, in the meantime 1 will proceed
as directed in the'Ordinance,
"No special instruments were provided by the United States for the public surveys

error made by the Connecticut survevorsin running the south liue of the Western
Eeserve.

the true variation of the needle and the latitude of the point of beginning
the east and wesi line, and from a mean of a great number of observations
Iwth on the sun and north star made the latitude 40° : 38 ': 02" north, and
the variation of ihe compass 54' ea<t." Disquieting rumors of the Indians
came to him from the neighborhotjd, but so great was bis anxiety to carry
the ordinance into execution that, on the 30th of September," he com-
menced running the first east and west line, notwithstanding disagreeable
reports heard of •' many prisoners and scalps taken into the Shawanoese
towns by Indian^; unknown, and of a man and a part of his family killed
and scalped a few miles below his encampment."
Captain Hutchins advanced less than four miles on the east and west
line, purposely holding back in fear of the hovering Indians, and in anxi-
ety for the return of the messenger with the protecting escort of chiefs.-
He remained on the line untO October 9, when news of the threatening
Indians brought in by one of the surveyors caused him to suspend opera-
tions and remove the camp to the southern side of the river.*^ There on
the 15th of October he received the returning messenger laden with most
unfriendly intelligence from the Indian towns. So far from meeting him
at. the appointed place, there were orders from the tribes who, at the Fort
Mcintosh convention, had " consented to the cessions and promised coopera-
tion," for " Captain Hutchins and Brothers who sit at the thirteen fires . . .
to desist from prosecuting the surveying business until the treaty to be
held at the big Miami river.""
Thus ended the first attempt of the United States to survey the federal
lands. The geographer removed his outfit to Pittsburgh, and later depart-
ed for New York. In a letter dated November 25 he communicated
these facts to the President of Congress, enclosing all papers respecting
Indian matters gathered while on the frontiers.
A f^w weeks after his return to >»ew York, Captain Hutchins transmit-
ted to Congress
a plan and Retoarfcs of that part of the Western Territory through which an
East and West Lime has been run, agreeable to an ordinance of Congress of the
20th of May last. The plan was copied from the origmal by Mr. William Mor-
ris Surveyor appointed by Congress from the State of New York. The justice
I owe that Gentlemans merit and abilities, as well as for the active part which
he took in forwaixliug of and assisting in the astronomical business of the
Geographic Department when in the Western Territory, will I hope be admitted
as a sullicient apology, for my having taken the liberty of mentioning his Name
on the occasion.^'
The letters of Captain Hutchins, and the papers accompanying them,
give an explanadon of the violation of the treaty by the Ohio Indians.
In the letter sen: to Congress from Pittsburgh, September 15, he declares :
This place is destitute of any accounts from De Troit or Niagara.— Permit me
to assure your excellency, that, whilst the British possess those Posts, all Ne-
gociations" with ttte Indian Nations on the part of the United States will fall far

■weight & Influence in the Councils of the Indian Nations, not even in those sit-
uated nearest to Pittsburgh, which the very great espence and trouble, that
August Body have taken ought to insure to them ; — Indeed these circumstances
together with the evil reports Industriously propagated amongst the Indians by
a number of persons who have in dettance of the Proclamation of Congress
settled on the north side of the Ohio near to the Mingo Town 75 Miles below
Pittsburgh, will greatly contribute to alienate the aflections of the Indians, who,
if freed from evQ councellors, would be desirous of living peaceably and friend-
ly with the Citizens of the United States. This is an Evil, allow me to say,
which calls loudly for Immediate redress, more especially as, in my opinion, the
Surveyors have reason to apprehend much greater danger from those disorderly
Persons, than from the Indians themselves."
Information gathered at Little Beaver creek seems to support this theory.
One witness reported :
Wyandots told the Delawares it was an open war; the British had sent toma-
hawks among them and that all the nations meant to strike. On the 1st of Oc-
tober they arrived, at which time, a grand council of the chiefs of the following
nations was held at the Delaware town on the headwaters of the great Miami,
vizt. the Wyandots, Delawares, Mingoes, Shawneese, Cherokee?, Potutawata-
niies Miaraies and Twightwees. TheKickapoos, Wauweaughtenies, Fox, Otta-
way, Chepawa nations were not present but they sent their speeches with their
wampum. That he was informed their Intention at this meeting was to bright^
en the chain of friendship, and bind their union the firmer ; . . . that he saw
a man who wishes his name to be kept secret, who told him the British were
using their influence to prevent the Indians from attending the treaty at the
mouth of the Great Miami.
It was reported also that the WTandots and Delawares, after their return
from Fort Mcintosh, had received conomunications from Detroit in which
the British denied having given their coimtry away ; they acknowledged
they had made peace with the Americans and agreed to a boundary line be-
tween them, and had also given the Americans the laws or jurisdiction
over the coimtry, bat they did not give them any right to the land.**
The initial point of the survey, fixed by the land ordinance, as
a i)oint that shall be found to be due north from the western termination of
aline, which has been run as the southern boundary of the state of Pennsylvania,
was easily located by the geographer, through observation of the markings
made south of the Ohio river by commissioners of Pennsylvania then em-
ploved in running the west boundary line of the commonwealth. Captain
Hutchins was himself engaged for this work, having been employed during
the previous summer in determining the western extent of the southern
botindary line of Pennsylvania, and he would have continued, but for his
present labors, in running a north line from that point as far as the Ohio
Kiver. From this point he ran the East and West Line or, as it was later

&s The geographer favored the President of Congress with an opinion of the cause
of the une.\pecied Indian disafi'ection in the territory, hot it must be considered that
Captain Hutchins had brought to America a great grievance against the British, and
this may have alJected his judgment :

called, the Geographer's Line, westward for a distance of 3 miles, C6 chains
and 78 links to the place where he heard the evil news.*^
The next year the geographer and his staff returned to the survey, in-
tending to make up for lost time of the previous failure by completing
thirteen ranges of townships ready for sale before the season closed. The
return was ordered in Congress by a resolution of the 9th of JNIay, 1786,
with some opposition, and a proposition for alteration of the laud ordi-
nance. No alterations were made, however, except a provision that " the
"urveyors do not proceed further northerly than the east and west line," "
and a repeal of the clause requiring them " to pay the utmost attention to
the variation of the magnetic needle and to run and note all lines by the
true meridian." The treaty at the Big Miami, held on the 21st of January,
had rendered everything secure— as Congress supposed.^' The geogra-
pher set out for the frontier May 23 and, arriving at Pittsburg June 25,
despatched messengers for the chiefs of the Delaware*, Wyandots, and
Shawnees who, " agreeable to their promise to the Commissioners, were to
give him protection." He informed Congress, in a letter dated July 8, that
'' troops may be necessary," and he proceeded at once, without waiting for
either soldiers or Indians, to resume the surveys. But when he summoned
the men, who had assembled at the former camp awaiting orders, they pos-
itively refused to proceed untU a body of troops was provided to cover their
operations.''^
'I'hus the surveys were resumed. The east and west line was pro-
jected westerly to the ninth range, a distance of over fifty miles. From
this line as a base, range lines six miles apart were run southerly to the
river, a distance on the westerly ranges of ninety-five miles. Cross lines
were run every six miles, working westerly from the river at right angles
5^ No description has been found of his method of finding this point, but it may be
eupposed that he sighted across the river from the south shore. According to present
geography the East and West Line forms the north line of the second tier of lots,
or sections, of the township of Liverpool, Columbiana County, Ohio, passing directly
north of the city of East Liverpool. It is not known howCapt. Hutchins marked the
initial point, nor how it was situated with respect to the high- and low-water lines
of the Ohio Kiver. The original surveyor's plat of the northeasterly township of
the Seven Ranges of Townships, in the General Land Office, Drafting Division,
Washington, D. C, shows the point at the exact margin of the river as does also the
published plat of the Seven Kanges of Townships made to advertise the sale of 1796.
But maps of Ohio from that day to this show a bit of land between the Ime and the
river, which may or may not be due to the recession of the river. Virginia has al-
ways claimed that her reserved territory extended to the high-water mark on the
northerly side of Ohio Kiver, but Chief Justice Marshall ruled ( v. \\ barton, 691)
that low-water mark on the northwest side was the boundary of Ohio.
The Pennsylvania commissioners completed the west boundary line of Pennsylva-
nia to Lake Erie in October, 17S6, " by opening a Vista and planting stones marked
P on the east side." Penn. Arch , vol. 10, pp. «0, 443, 452, 760; vol. 11, p. 69.
^ This alteration in the field of survey, which originally extended - trom the River
Ohio to the lake Erie," was made in Congress after the report ot the geographer ot the
latitude of the east and west line, 40° ; 38' : 02", to accommodate the claims of Connec-
ticut, which lay between 41° and 42°, 02;" north latitude. J J. . . ,.

to the range lines, and every mile was marked by chops on trees standing
on or near the line, as required by the ordinance. The geographer and his
eight surveyors and many more chainbearers, axe men, and followers, and
a battalion of military to escort them, were thus spread out over the trian-
gular field of the survey, pushing the work steadily, " even Sundays not
excepted," to finish the thirteen ranges— If possible, altogether making
quite a stir in the wilderness east of the Muskingum and the Tuscarawas.
The storm broke upon them in Septtmber. At his camp, " 38 mUes on the
the East and West line," Hutchins received a message from the chief of the
Wyandots, informing him that they could not comply with the request to assist
in the surveying until they had brought the " back nations" ^ to terms. " I
am just now between two fires," spoke Half King, '■ for I am afraid of
you and likewise of the back nations." From other sources it was learned
that a large body of Indians was collecting with hostile intentions, deter-
mined " that the Ohio river and the line being cut by Pennsylvania shall
remain forever the boundary between them and the Big Knives." The
Shawnees had five humired warriors ready to move the " moment they
hear Captain Hutchins Ls out." On October 1 the danger had become bo
threatening that the surveyors held to camp, absolutely refusing to con-
tinue." The men were in terror, and the geographer, " to his great mor-
tification," was obliged to advise retirement to the back ranges. With
great difficulty he kept enough men at work until four ranges were com-
pleted. Still the attacks continued, and in November, on advice of the
military, the surveyors withdrew to a camp on the Virginia side.*" Cap-
tain Hutchins informed Congress of the interruption of the survey in a
letter dated at the Virginia camp, December 2, adding: "I shall be de-
tained here until such time as the townships already surveyed are delinea-
ted on paper, which will probably take to the commencement of the ensu-
ing year, when I shall lose no time in proceeding with them to New York.""

the Six Nations had gone to the Shawnees Towns. In a council he had with some

ceed to survey the land that did not belong to them." Hutchins Pajiers, vol. 3, p. 32,

*The ordinance required the sarveyors " to mark the lines they had run on plats
and to note thereon all minis, salt-springs, salt-licks, mill-sites, water-coiir-«3, moun-
tains, and other remarkable and permanent things over and near which the lines shall
pass, and also the quality of the lands," ami to return these plats to the Socreiary at
War, who was to cause a copy thereof to be made for the loan commissioner of each
state for purposes of the sale. One set onlv of these plats was made, consisting of
77 townships, and they are still preserved in the United States General Land Office
in charge of E. Mulkow, a veteran employee who rescued them some years ago from
destrucliim by mildew when the General Land Office was removed from the Patent
Office building to its present quarters. Each of these plats is signed by the sur-
veyor, 'i'hev are drawn on a scale of 40 chains to the inch, and the interior lines
forming 36 lois, which were not mn by the survevors are ruled on certain of the plats,
to show the results of sales. There is also a book of exteriors of certain townships,
with elaborate descriptions, which seem to belong to this survey.

the visible and tangible evidence of his labors. " I have brought with me,"
he wrote to the President of Congress, " the plats and description of four
ranges completely surveye<i containing in the whole sis hundred and seven-
ty-five thousand four huudred and eighty acres." These he deposited with
the board of treasury, according to the ordinance ; and on the 18th of
April he sent his own returns to Congress.
Captain Hutchius's returns were the subject of immediate action in Con-
gress, in the consideration of " a plan for selling for public securities the
townships surveyed in the western territory" reported by the board of
treasury on the 19tli of April. The report condemns the plan of propor-
tional distribution by states through the Secretary at War and the local
loan oflices, fixed iu the ordinance to take place " as soon as 7 ranges of
townships shall have been surveyed," as too slow and expyensive, and re-
conomends a direct sale at public auction to the highest bidder regardless of
his local habitation. Congress agreed to this report April 21, and ordered
" the sale to be advertised to commence at the expiration of five months
from date, in the place where Congress shall sit and continue from day to
day until the same shall be sold." The advertisements appeareti as direct-
ed.^ Twenty-seven separate townships or fractional townships are listed
in a table by range and township numbers, to be exposed to sale, either
entire or in lots ( now called sections) of one mile square in alternate or-
der, at not less than one dollar per acre, plus cost of surveying, payable
one third down and the remaining two thirds in three months, in specie, or
certificates, " excepting therefrom and reserving one third part of all gold,
sUver, lead and copper mines within the land sold."^' Proper maps and
descriptions of the lands were to be exhibited at the time and place of
sale, and the sales were to continue from day to day until the whole were
sold. '• The admirable quality of these lands, and the favorable climate in
which they are situated," the advertisements declare, " are too well known
to need description."
The sale took place as advertised, in New Tork, September 21, 1787,
continuing until October 9, when it ceased, with the greater part of the
townships remaining unsold. During the sixteen days of sale 32 persons
bought 148 parcels, aggregating 150,896 acres, 176,090 6/90th dollars, pur-
chase money, of which 87,4-38 18/90th dollars was paid at the time of
sale in i)ablic securities.*^ The highest price bid was 22 dollars for a frac-
tional lot of an acre and a half on the river, but most of the sales were at
the minimum rate of a doUar per acre. During the summer of 1787, the
survevors again returned to the Ohio. Troubles with the Indians had not
abateil. but they finished closing in the townships of seven ranges. Hutchins
probablv did not attend this survey as he was in New York in October
busy with his accounts. He made final report the following summer and
turned in the finished plan of the Seven Ranges, which he transmitted to
the board of treasury under date of July 26, 1788.

368 First Ownership of Ohio Lands [Oct.
The circumstances of the first survey and sale of the federal lands,
from which so much had long been expected and so little realized, would
be interesting and doubtless important if all were known, but scarcely any-
thing remains of this period in the public prints or official records to tell
the story. The sale itself was a failure and the survey a disappointment.
The first returns of four ranges, after years of waiting, expense, and dan-
ger, were so meagre as to justify criticism in Congress of the mode of sur-
vey, and call for immediate revision of the ordinance, and a move in that
direction is noted in the minutes of Congress at the time the sale was or-
dered.'" At this very moment, also, memorials began to appear, praying
Congress for grants of large areas for private adventure in settlement for
which large sums of money were promised for immediate payments, offer-
ing quicker means of revenue than the auction sales." Hutchins's finished
plan and description of the whole Seven Ranges came in during the sum-
mer of 1788," but there the business dropped. By that time several
"It tvas recommended in April, 1787, " that Congress adopt measures for disposing
of the lands which may be. not only practicable, but speedy in their operation." An
investigation of the working of the geographer's department under the ordinance fol-
lowed, and a revision appeared of the old ordinance, providing, for private adventures
in locating, surveying, and settling lands, conformable, in a fashion, to the sii milo
town^ip system, 'fbe revision gained no standing in Congress, as it was deemed
best Eot to interfere with sales depending, both public and private, by new legislation
of the* natiire. But alter the sales were over the subject was revived, and a supple-
mental ordinance was passed Julv 9. 1788, repealing parts deemed objectionable in the
old ortinance. suspending the public sales at the option of the board of treasury, and
aothowTzing the private locations provided for in the former revision, with respect to
the two miliUry tracts westward of the Seven Ranges of Townships, which, on the
22d of October," 1787. were designated by act of Congress for apportionment as army
land5- (The revised draft of April, 1787, is in the Papers of the Continental Congress,
No. 30, p. 119.) . , , , . .
'< The 6rst of these proposals is the Memorial of the Associators, m the handwriting
and over the signature of their Agent, •' Sam H. Parsons." Dated in New York the 8th
of Miv, 1787, read in Congress May 9, reported by the committee July 10, it was dis-
casssed" and acted on July 23, when it was referred to the board of treasury to take or-
der. This was the earliest explicit otfer of money for lands, but the contract was not
closed. Dr. Manasseh Cutler, one of the Association, filed another memorial on July 6,
whici was acted on in the same way July 27, and this was made the basis of the con-
tract with the Ohio Company of Associates. Next came the proposition of William
Duer, agent for the .«cioto Company, which, for prudential reasons, was combined with
the CTontract of the Ohio Company. (The Parsons memorial is in the Papers of the
Continental Congros, No. 41, vol. viii, p. 226; and the committee report. No. 19, vol.
V, p. 27. The letter of Dr. Cutler, dated Ipswich, Kov. 19, 1788, explaining ihe Scioto
land transaction, is among the Col. John May papers, W. R H. S. Cf. also the Memo-
rial of the Directors of the Ohio Comjiany, dated March 2, 17'J2, W. R. H. S.)
Tfeere is a prior proposition dated July 16, 1783, a "petition of the Subscribers
OffiofTS in the Continental Line of the Army," praying for the locating of their mili-
tarv lands on Lake Erie, " on conditions of settlement and purihuse, for public securi-
ties,'" but this was loo early to receive recognition. (The petition with nearly 300
signatures is in the Papers of the Continental Congress. No. 42, vol. vi. p. 65.)
A curious petition was filed in Congress in October, 1784, "of the inhabitants re-
siding near the Ohio River, praying tlmt each one may be indulged with taking out
warrants according to his abilities and locating the same in what manner they shall
see Bt." Ibid., No. 42, vol. vi, p. 106.

large purchases had been successfully concluded by the board of treasury,
beginning with the Ohio Company of Associates, which was closed a few
weeks after the end of the New York sales. All dealings for lands ceased
under the new constitution until, after the Greenville Treaty, the act of
Congress of 1796 restored the system inaugurated by Captain Hutchins
into full force and effect."
OflScial returns of the New York sale are found in the papers of the Con-
tinental Congress, entitled :
Schedule of Sales of Lands in the Western Territory of the United States,
at Public Auction, from the 21st Septemr. to the 9t. October 1787— And the
Amount of Public Securities received in payment for the Same.
This document, consisting of six large tabulated sheets, signed by M. Hil-
legas, U. S. Treasurer, and Wm. Duer, Secretary of the board of treas-
ury, and dated September 13, 1788, gives names of each purchaser, town-
ship and lot number, acreage, amount paid etc.'* There is also in the land
ofBce in Washington the book of patents issued for the sale, in which
the names and dates of the complete purchases are given." In addition are
the surveyors plats, previously mentioned, on which are recorded the names
and other data of sales. Finally there are the lands themselves entered in
the several counties in Ohio, with records of the original purchasers. From
all these sources it is possible to compile a list of the first owners of pub-
lic lands of the United States.
It is possible also to give a correct list of the 1000 original proprietors
and settlers of the Muskingum settlement of the Ohio Company from the
oflScial records of draughts and allotments of lands to each proprietor, kept
by Col. John May, secretary of the Ohio Company, and recently found.
The draughts took place at Providence, R. I., on Thursday, the 8th of May,
1787, and on the Muskingum in July, 1788. (Cf. Cutler's Journal, also
the Journal of Col. John May.)"
"The board of treasnry had authority to hold a public sale at any time or place of
the land remaining unsold in the Seven Ranges of Townships after the New "lork

tire were offered, and one sale made, 5,200 acres at $2.00 per acre. No other sales
were made of public lands until the establishment of the local land office system by
the act of May 10, 1800. The latest larger histories are at fault on this matt«r of the

EDWARD DOWNES OF DORCHESTER, MASS., AND fflS
DESCENDANTS
Compiled by W. £. D. Dowses, Ph.D., of Farmington, Me.
1. Edward' Downes is first found on the records of Dorchester in
1723. It is believed that he came from the British Isles, and he may have
been connected with one of the Downes families earlier in New England,
but no proof of such connection has been found. He lived, saj-s Huntoon,
under Blue Hill, and was on the first Stoughton tax list in 1727. He
seems to have been an improvident and restless individual. On 5 Nov.
17-24 Edward and his wife Huth conveyed to John Shepard land and one-
quarter dwelling, well, and bam. being a part of James Puffer's estate (Suf-
folk Co. Deeds, vol. 40, p. 4). He was at sea 18 July 173G, and a collec-
tion was taken up for his wife and cluldren. In 1740 he was on the com-
pany roll of Capt. Thomas Phillips to go to Carthagena. In 1744 Edward
went to the eastward, and never returned, although family tradition says
that he w.as killed in the Indian war in 1756.
He was married, 11 Mar. 1723, to Ruth Puffer, daughter of James
and Abigail (Newton), born 1(5 Mar. 1704, died 22 Apr. 1790. The estate
of Ruth Downes, widow, deceased intestate, was administered by Edward

NOTES
ASHBUKXHAM TrTAi. RECORDS.— Two errors in the Ashbumham Vital Record^,
printed under the Svstematic History Fuud, are as follows, p. 15L uu^rriage^ :
Shoof. Elisebeth.'and Philip Chriger, July 30, 1767.
Schoofe, Delahah, and Aaron Sampson, Nov. 9, 1768.
The tirst one of these marriages gets the name of the hu.sband quite wtoez.
In the original ms. (which I have personally examined) the entry wa> very car^
less, being ■' Philip Chri. Ger.," which Steams in his History of A>hburnhizi
expands to "Philip Christian Ger."
This name should be Grapen.
Jacob Schofl" and his familv, including these two married daughters, left As;-
buruhara in 1773 and moved to northern New Hampshire, and later t^ Maidstoi.'^.
Vt. In the town and census records of Maidstone and Brunswick, Vt . may re
found manv entries as Grapes, and some as Graves. There are still numerc.::^
descendants in the vicinity. I believe the correct German version of the nane
was Krehs.
The second marriage makes a slight mistake in both names ; the girl's nas.^

was Delanah — shortened to Lena — and the man's Samson, without the p. These
names also occur in the records of Guildhall, Maidstone, and Brunswick, Vt.
Stearns in his history says these families went to Haverhill, N. H.. but he was
mistaken. They went to Morristown, now Franconia; then to Northumberland;
then to Maidstone ; and some of the next generation settled in the adjoining
towns of Guildhall, Stratford, and Brunswick. Stearns gives the date of re-
moval as 1777, but he is wrong— it was 1773. They did not sell their Ashbum-
ham land until 1777, but the New Hampshire census of 1775 has them down ag
living in Morristown.
I have copies of the deeds to the land in all the towns, with dates, also various
vital records and family data, which fully prove the above statements.
Lynxcyd, Pa. ' ' Wilfked H. Schoff.
Haskexs.— The history of Taunton gives Nicolas Haskens among the signers
in 1708 to the petition to Incorporate Taunton South Purchase as Dighton, and
a writer In the Register, vol. 56, p. 306. builds up from this that he was the
same as the Portsmouth, N. H., schoolmaster and scrivner, Nicholas Heskins.
There was at Dighton a Nicholas Stephens, the first of whose nine children wag
bom in 1696. As tracings from the original petition made by two different
people make the name look like Stephens, and as no Stephens appears in the
printed list, I infer that an error was made.
I know nothing to show that Nicholas Heskins of Portsmouth, or Great Island,
N. H., ever went to Dighton, or that he ever married. While Savage places him
at Portsmouth in 1660, a Great Island tax list for 1677 shows his name imme-
diately following that of William Haskins, who in July, 1672, was " lately ar-
rived from Ireland " with wife and children. They could not have been father
and son, as several depositions show Nicholas to have been born about 1637.
They were likely brothers.
This William Haskins in 1676 received a house lot from Nathaniel and Chris-
tian Fryer, and thereafter his wife was Christian, who outlived him and married
Henry Williams. It may be that the wife he brought with him died, that on his
second marriage his first family broke up, and that one of his children was
" Richard Haskins of Portsmouth," whose marriage to Jane Feuster was re-
corded in Taunton in 1686. This, if true, would indicate a relationship between
the Portsmouth and Taunton families of Haskins.
Benjamin Haskins from Scituate, son of John, was in Scarborough, Me., as
early as 1719, and later bought a farm close by that of Benjamin Larrabee, whose
wife was Sarah, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth (Haskins) Johnson, and
whose marriage is on record in Hampton, N. H., in 1701. This Benjamin Has-
kins named his only child Sarah. A conjecture may be that John Haskins and
Elizabeth Haskins were two of the scattered children of William of Portsmouth,
who apparently was a ne'er-do-well. Charles Thornton Libby.

aU facts of interest Illustrating famUy history or character be communicated,
especially service under theU. S. Government, the holding of other offices, grad-
uation from college or professional schools, occupation, with places and dates
of birth, marriage, residence, and death. All names should be given in full if
possible. No initials should be uaed when the full name is known.

George Allen, Ralph Allen. One line of their descendants in Kew Jersey vrith
some fragments of history, [by] David Axlen Thompson. Albany, N. T.,
Weed-Parsons Printing Company. 1910. 12° pp. 66.
The story of the persecutions of these Quakers, and the descendants of one
branch of the family in New Jersey (which presents some difficult genealogical
problems), receive first attention in this little volume. Several wills and letters
are reprinted in full in the Appendix, which fills the second half of the volume
and also contains a reprint of an article by Hon. Clifibrd S. Sims from the Rex>
ISTER, vol. 25. page 144. The book will be of interest to those who are con-
nected with this branch of the family.
A partial record of the Bancker or Banker families of America, and in particu-
lar the descendants of Laurens Mattyse Bancker, compiled by Howard James
Banker. [Rutland, Vt., The Tuttle Company, 1909.] 8° pp. 458, illus.
The earliest positive record of Laurens Mattyse Bancker is that of his appear-
ance in New York City in 1673. A carefully compiled and conscientious record
of his descendants is here presented in a well-made volume printed on " N. E.
H. G S. Standard " paper, which in itself shows that the author considers his
work worthy of a long and useful life. Among the other families that receive
some attention are the Cranckheyt, Boeckhout, Baker, Grant, Veritv, Evert,
and De Peyster families. This is an excellent addition to the constantly increas-
ing numl>er of genealogies of families of Dutch descent. Many of the records
given here are from the Dutch Reformed Church of Sleepy Hollow, a photograph
of which is among the illustrations.

This huge genealogy will be welcomed by those whose lines are here included.
The first section contains over thirty-five hundred names and has its own index.
The second section, compiled by Edmund Dana Barbour of Boston, includes the
descendants in the female lines as well as the male, and contains besides Barber
names many others, among which the most notable are Bullard, Dodge. Hough-
ton, and Smith. Great credit is due for bringing out such a mass of information
in so scholarly a manner and making it so easUy available for the use of those
lo whom it is of interest.

which is c. 11 piled in a scliolarly style with valuable references for every impor-
tant stateLL^nt. Early military service receives very careful attention, and one
whose line o.inci-3es with any of the numerous descents given here will be greatly

This genejJogy contains a large nnmber of biographical sketches of a famUy
scattered tLrous'a the Middle West, aud will essentially interest those who
know the ^.eople whose lives are here recorded. A genealogical cliart in the
beginning of the book is very useful, as there is no attempt, except that of se-
quence, to onnect fathers and children: nor is there an index. The illustra-
tions are chiefly portraits of members of the famUy who have given special aid
to the compiler of the genealogy.

Welcome Gamett was a Quaker, born in 1758, who lived in North Carolina
and Indiana. The author states in his introduction that the "data collected
embraced tLe proseny of Welcome Garrett of whatever name," and the number
of individuals here recorded testify to the extent of the search. This must have
been considerable in a family which had eighty-five first cousins. Most of them
and their descendants reside in the Middle West. The illustrations are portraits,
and there i? an index.
Descendant^ -f the Bev. Francis Sigginson, first" Teacher" in the Massachusetts
Bay C-d-.h'i „f Salen, Mass.. and author of '^ Keio-Englands Plantation," by
Thomas Wentworth Higginsox. Privately printed, 1910. 8° pp. 68, port.
This brief, concise senealogv of an eminent family begins with an account of
the settlement of ihe first "Teacher" in Salem in 1629, and brings the direct
lines down to date. The arrangement is simple and easily understood, and the
book is indexed. The only illustration is a portrait of the Rev. Mr. Higginson,
and the aat!;or. in a footnote, speaks of the doubt which exists as to which of
the early Hissiiis.:.n clergymen it represents, and refers for further data to
his book on :he ■- Life of Francis Higginson." It is well that a genealogy of
interest to ?o many people should have been published in the lifetime of one able
to present it corre*:-ily.

These two vei'v beautiful volumes, which are part- one aud two of volume
one, are but the beginning of an extensive account of the records of this family,
prepared br the author especially for his children. Part one is devoted to the
early life "and ancestry of James Boulter Stokes, who was of English par-
entage, and of his wife Caroline Phelps, who was of Xew England descent. In
part two the author gives a personal reminiscent record which coutains many
interesting aud delightful experiences. Both books contain ancestral cliarts,
numerous portraits, and views of earlier residences. Seldom does one see such
exquisite illustrations as are given in these two pans, which are a delight to
any lover of tine books.

The hero of this interesting and honorable record was bom in 1853 in Peoria,
m., the ninth child of Charles and Julia Margaret i^Schnebly) BaUance. He
was graduated from West Point in 1875. and soon began his career ui the West,
where he performed valuable service in suppressing Indian insurrections. Later
he was in the Philippines, where he was engaged in twenty-one tights and four
important sku-mishes, a detailed list of which is given. The Society deserves
credit for bringing out this excellent record of one of its distinguished mem-
bers, and for the care taken to procure from the War Department at Washington
so many copies of important orders, many of which appear in the Appendix.

The author of this Provencal poem was born in 1#01 in Lourmarin. France.
After some travel in South America and along the coast of Africa he came to
New York, between 1830 aud 1835, and there he flnally became proprietor of the
Hotel Saint Denis. About 1860 he wrote this poem, of which Mr. Thomas A.
Janvier of Xew York has said : "Asa Provencal poem written in America, it
has a genuine literary interest; and the more because its aaihor. writing in the
decade of 1850-00, contemporaneously echoed in this country the then new-bom
Felibrien literary revival in Provence" " A portrait of the author is given as a
frontispiece, and the illustrations in the poem are reproduced from photographs
made in Lourmarin in 1896 by Matthew Cantme Julien of New Bedford, Mass.

Worcester County, Middlesex County, Boston and Eastern Massachusetts have

Tbe great number of illustrations, chiefly portraits, the size, style, and binding
of these four books make the volumes similar to those mentioned above, and it
would seem that no one had been neglected who cared to have his history appear
in a huge work of this sort. As usual, the index to the whole set is in the fourth
volume. Doubtless the Lewis Publishing Company is without a rival in the
quantity of miscellaneous genealogical composition it issues annually.

counties of England. Under each county is a numbered list of the print<ed reg-
isters belonging to that county. This number, used with the letters, shows at a
glance in what printed registers for the year 1601 the surname is to be found.

The laudable purpose for which this society was created is concisely described
in it.s title. The disappearince of ancient landmarks has been so continuous
that houses of the earliest period have become of the utmost rarity, and even
later ones are rapidly vanishing. Views of the Royall, Hancock, Lee, Clark,
Fairbanks, Bradford, Boardman. and Longfellow houses are among the illustra-
tioiLS of treasures that have disappeared or may be lost unless their preservation
is miade a matter of special •:oncem to a particular Society. All who are inter-
ested to assist in this wori should communicate with the secretary, William
Sumner Appleton, The Uni; a Club, Boston. It is hoped that public spirit wiU
be awakened and material s:ipport given this laudable enterprise.

The writer of this thrsU. which was prepared to complete the requirements
for the degree of doctor ..'f philosophy at Princeton University, considers that
tbe development of the Federalist Party in Massachusetts from 1775 to 1800
was largely due to the scv-ial and religious conditions. It is not new to discover
that political p.arties are i: .irmaUy the outgrowth of social conditions (Industrial,
religious, commercial — il1 the phases that comprise the life of a commimity),
h^x it is interesting to st-e what this writer undertakes to show— the coimection
between cause and eft'ec:. Contemporaneous newspapers and sermons proved
tie clearest mirrors of tie temper and spu'it of that time.

ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT
/
Fellow !Membees of the ^
New Exgland Historic Genealogical Society :
Ladies and Gentlemen —
A few weeks ago we celebrated the sixty-fifth anniversir;,- ot
this Society, and the addresses upon that interesting occasion, siini-
marizing the splenthd work which our predecessors have a.ocom-
plifihed dui-ing the comparatively brief period of the Society's
existence, were an inspiration to us who listened, and quickened in
all of us ambition to greater eifort in advancing the good work to
which they so faithfully devoted themselves. To-day we enter upon
the Society's sixty-sixth year, and realizing that it is our privilege to
carry forward its work for another year, resolve to apply ourselves
earnestly to the duties before us. The past year has not been
marked by any unusual events, but you will see by the variojs re-
ports that the year has been one of growth and prosperity. The
loss of Mr. Tillinghast was a sad one to all of us who knew and
appreciated liiiu. His loyal devotion to the interests of the S.3ciety
never flagged. He was a wise counsellor, and his opinions were
always received with careful attention. It will be no easy task to
fill his place.
It is expected upon this occasion that I should briefly review the
reborte of the various committees, and make such recommendations
as seem to me proper. The report of the Librarian makes more
evident than ever the inadequacy of our present building to the needs
• of the Society. For several years past he has been obliged to place
in storage a considerable number of books in order to make room
for new accessions, and while he has selected for this pur^x-^e the
less important ones, he has been seriously inconvenienced by de-
mands made upon him for books which were difficult to reach. The
pressing need of a new building is well set forth in the Eepon .^f the
Council to which I call especial attention.
X X. E. HI^TOKIC GEXEALOGICAL .SOCIETr
It is iutercitiug to note tlie increase iu the number of person;
using tlie library, members and uon-niembers. Of the Litter, 5o7t5
names have been registered the past year, fifty-seven persons have
been made members, a small number seemingly when the large
numljer of persons, not members, who use the library is cor-idered.
The curious list of names presented in the Report of the /Ibrarian
shows tluit others than descendants of eai-ly Xew Eng md fami-
lies are interested in genealogy, and his remarks relative to genealo-
gies of tamilies whose names are not found in Savage's invaluable
work are interesting. The Librarian's suggestion that the Society
should undertake the compilation of a guide to printed data relating
to Xew England families should receive thoughtful attention.
The important work of gathering genealogies of American families
as well as manuscript records has not been neglected. Tlu-ee hun-
dred and fifty printed works of this character, and fifty-three manu-
scripts have Jaeen added to our collections. The Committee on the
Library are doing a good work in gathering genealogical items fi-om
newspapers and placing them in durable scrap-books. These books
wiU become very useful to seai-chei's iu the future.
The Consolidated Index of place-names in the first fifty volumes
of the Register is so fai- adviinced that the fii-st part ^vill be issued
early in the coming summer. A cousiderable addition has been
made to the list of subscribers to the Index. In addition to its
regular pubhcations, the Society has published the Vital Records of
Scituate in two volumes of over nine hundred pages, and those of
the towns of Tisbury, Wayland, and Weymouth have been prepared
for publication, and will be published at an early day. Ir seems
worthy of notice that forty sets of the ilemorial Biographies have
been sold during the year, netting the Society four hundi-ed dollars.
The work in London of 3Iiss French, who is employed by the
English Research Committee, has no doubt been noticed by all who
read the Register. It is work worthy of the commendation which
it has received, and it is hoped that the Society will be able to con-
tinue it during the coming year. The expense, as will be seen, has
been moderate.
The Committee on Epiraphs has exercised during the year its
usual commendable activity, and has gathered fi-om Elaine. jMassa-
chusetts, and Xew Hampshire a large number of records, notes and
photographs of much interest. Some of the work accomplished has
ADDRESS OF THE ^I;E^IDE^■T X.
been done in small grounds wlii^.'ii were found only after repeated
inquiry, their veiy existence being torgotten in the c .nimunity.
Depressing work indeed it must have heen to decipher thr hall"' ol-
literated stones liidden by the luug, nmk grass in these forgotten
hamlets of the dead.
I desire to call the attention of members to the special ^ lea made
to them by the Committee. They ask them to make p' ii; of these
small, neglected plots, indicating the location of stc ^;. whether
inscribed or not, as well as transcribing names when they L-npear.
Passing to the Reports of the Treasm-er and Finance L jmminec
you will see that our financial condition is good. It is iinnecessan*
for me to analyze the reports, they so plamly speak for themselves.
The sale of No. 16 Somerset Street, and the purchase of Xo. i*
Ashbmton Place, which have been recently accomplished, shoidd
improve the real estate investment of the Society.
The attendance at the montldy meetings has shown a gratitying
increase. This might be accounted for by the character of the
papers read, which have been fully up to the high standard of excel-
lence so long maintained by the Society ; but no doubt the more
convenient place of meeting, as well as the very pleasant entertain-
ment furnished to those present at the close of the hterary exercises,
^vith the opportunity aiForded for social intercourse, have added to
the interest of our meetings. I hope that these pleasant and, I
believe, profitable entertainments may be continued. They not only
add to the pleasure of our meetings, but by bringing our members
together strengthen those bonds of friendship which are s-;> vital to
the growth and usefulness of our Socierv.

REPORT OF THE COUNCIL
Presented by Mls. Ida Face Miller
The Society has had uo remarkabl". events to clirouicle in it;
annals during the calendar year just l> 'shed. It has, however,
experienced continued gro-v\-th and increase^ usefulness in each ch-
vision of its activities, and has made progress along the definite
lines of purpose for whicli it was incorporated. Through the death
of one of its most faithfid and capable oflicers, Vice-President Til-
linghast, who had served many years in various capacities, it has
suffered a great loss. Its various ofScers and committees have
shown the same devotion to its interests that has marked its course
in recent years, giving then- tune and counsel freely to promote its
welfare. Leaving to the officers and the committees to report in
detail upon the work of the year, it may not be amiss at this time to.
consider for a moment \vhat the Society is, what it is trying to do,
what it ought to endeavor to accomplish, and what it needs for its
present and its probable future growth.
The Societ)' is a private institution, organized and incorporated
for the specific purpose of " collectmg, preservmg, and occasionally
publishing, genealogical and historical matter, relating to early New
England "families, and for the estabhshmeut and maintenance of a
cabinet." For these objects it enjoys certain corporate privileges
derived from several speci;d acts of the General Coiu-t and from the
general statutes of the Commonwealth. The corporation consists of
the present members who are the legal successors of the original in-
corporators of sixty-odd years ago. It holds real and personal prop-
erty, includmg its library, worth nearly a lialf million dollars.
The Society is trying to administer its aflairs for the public good.
To this end it maintains its bbraiy freely open to all, and it issues
its publications (usually at less th:in cost) for the benefit of all who
have an interest in the objects for which it was incorporated. It
endeavors, with consideralile success, to give a wide circulation to its
publications, and thus facihtate and promote genealogical research.
That its publications are much consulted is evident from their worn
conditions wherever found in the larger libraries throughout the
countrv. In its library die Society strives to meet the demand of
all for books which come within the scope of the very broade^-t in-
terpretation of its chartered purposes. This generous attitude of the
Societv to\\'ards the public is quite fiiUy appreciated by almost all of
XVI N. E. HISTORIC GEXEALOGICAX SOCIETY
those Tvho are indebted to it for assistance. It is a fact, however,
that there is an occasional instance of lack of gratitude for the ftdl
and free use of pri^ilegej which have cost several hunch-ed thousand
dollars to estabhsh, and which cost a thousand dollars a month to
maintain. The number of these cases is extremely small,, perhaps
amounting to one instance per thousand visitors — a fact which speaks
well Ijoth for the i>eople interested in genealogy and for the adminis-
tration of the Society's affairs.
In addition to what the Socif^ty is now doing it ought to make
vigorous and systematic efforts to ^^ 'her or publish, or to cause to be
published, all available data relating lo early New England famQiee,
whether it relates to the aneestriefi of these families before they came
hither, or to their offspring who for a long time have been crossing
the boundaries of New England and settling elsewhere. The com-
plete genealogy of an old New England famOy does not stop at the
confines of New England ; on the contrary it embraces the various
branches of the family wherever found. No more should the Society
stop at these narrow limits, but rather should it secure for the use of
the New England family historian the materi;ds needed for his work.
And, now that the mass of printed materials has become so great,
the Society ought to bring about the compilation and publication of
better, more complete and scientific guides to the data in print relat-
ing to American families. Such a work is very much needed both
for saving unnecessary wear and tear on books- and for saving waste
of time in con^tation — matters of considerable importance to the
Society as well as to thckse who use its library. The Society ought to
face squarely the problem of giving its library safer quarters, before
some untoward accident forever places beyond consultation the price-
less collections which have taken so long and cost so much to gather.
Larger quarters are also needed for the adequate achninistration of
the Society's work and the prop>er display of its Library and Cabinet.
The Society needs for its present work and it^s future expansion a
great deal of money. It needs enough to pay off the indeljtedness
on its land and to erect a first-class iireproof budding large enough
for many years of future gro\vth. It needs enough additional en-
dowment to pnjvide for the increased cost of maintenance of a larger
building, for the increased cost of the upkeep and maintenance of a
larger and growing hbrary, and for the increased expense of pushing
its work with vigor up lo the limits of its piu^ose as defined by its
charter.
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES XVU

Secretary of the Committee :

The Eeport of the Co>DnTTEE on the Libraky, by George Brown
Knapp, A.M., Chahman :
During the past year the Society has been fortunate in obtaining
a larger "nunil^er than usual of genealogies of American families,
some three hundred and fifty works of that character having been
addei to the library, thus increasing largely the material available
for those interested in genealogical research.
A considerable amount of newspaper genealogical matter, includ-
ing Notes m the Genealogical Department of the Boston Evening
Transcript for several years, has been carefully mounted in books
speciallv made of strong linen paper for the purpose.
Good progress on the card catalogue has also been made.
In order to make room for the addition to the library of books likely
to be cousidted frequently, it has been found necessary to remove to
XVIU N. E. HIJ5TORIC GEXXALOGICAL SOCIETY
the storehouse manv books that are seldom called for. Thus the
question, ^Miar provision shall be made for the inevitable futiu-e
gro-i%-th of the library is each year becoming a more and more
serious one.
The Keport of the Co>DirrTEE on Pcblicatioxs. by Heniy Win-
chester Cunningham, A. B., Chairman :
The Committee on Pubhcations reports that during the year 1909
there was published by the Society the regular volume of the Regis-
ter which, with the Proceedings at the Annual Meeting, made a
volume of 544 pages, and also the Vital Record; of the town of
Scituate, a work of 909 pages, which appeared in two volumes. In
addition the Vital Reconis of the to\%-ns of Tisbury. "Wayland, and
WejTuouth were prepared for publication, and will appear soon.
Beginnings were also made upon the records of other towns.
The custom, begun several years ago, of making reprints of
articles in the Register, beyond the numl>er required by the author
for his personal use, has been continued. This gives ever}- one an
opportunity to buy from the Society copies of such special articles as
may interest him.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES XIX
Since October the stated meetings of the Society liave been held
in Pilgrim Hall, 14 Beacon Street, and the attendance of members
and friends has more than doubled in consequence.
The sixty-fifth anniversary of the Society was observed at a meet-
in"- lield in Ford Hall, the evening of October twenty-second, with
an attendance of about four hundred persons.* Tlie irathering was
addressed by the President, the Corresponding Secretary, and the
Treasurer of the Societv. as well as by the following gentlemen :
:Messrs. Wilfred Harold Munro, A.]\I., President of the Ehode
Island Historical Society, Henry Lefavour, Ph.D., LL.D., Presi-
dent of the Colonial Society of ^Massachusetts, and Rev. James
De Xormandie, D.D. A letter was read from Ch;u-les Francis
Adams, LL.D., President of the ^Massachusetts Historical Society,
who was unable to attend. After the meeting supper was sened.
The Report of the Committee to assist the Historian . by
Andrew Fiske, Ph.D., Chairman :
As Chairman of the Committee to assist the Historian, I beg to
report that early in the year I wrote the Historian, jMt. William R.
Cutter, offering him the services of the Committee. He replied that
he saw no immediate need of calling the Committee together, but
later might be very glad to ask for help. Acting on this suggestion,
I have not called the Committee together and have been waiting for
word from the Historian, but up to this time have received no request
for assistance. I, therefore, have to report that your Committee has
held no meetings and has done no work.
The Report of the Comjiittee on ExCxLish Research, by Charles
Sherburne Penhallow, A.B., Chairman:
The Committee on English Research begs to report that it has
been able to continue its work in England with Miss French, tmder
the airreement reported last January, sufficient fiind? having been
contributed for that purjwso, as will be seen by the appended report.
There is a Ijalance on hand stifficient only for a few months more,
and it is hoped that ftu-thcr contrilnitions will be sent in ^o th-,t Miss
French may be retained for a wltile longer, that the -dvaciage of
the work already done by her may not be lost. The importance of
continuous work in this direction does not need to be emphasized.
The result of her gleanings the past year have been published in
the Register. It is hoped that they will appeal to the memlier; of
the Society as of sufficient value to give the Commiti.-e such addi-
tional ftmds as will enable it to continue the work.
' A full report of fliis meeting is printed separately.

and then in Braintree ; and Randolph, Central Cemetery, from Edward
Evarts Jackson, Braintree.
The amount and character of the work required in transcribing
the records at Holbrook and Randolph, Mass., and at Salem, X. H.,
is indicated by the large number of inscriptions. Thanks are due to
those who have contributed so generously of their time and strength
to insure the preservation of these records. Thanks are also due
to those who have transcribed the inscriptions in the smaller grounds.
Frequently these small grounds are to be found only, after repeated
inquiry, their very existence being forgotten in the community.
The special plea is made that members of the Society will copy
these small isolated, neglected plots, making a plan at the same time
to indicate in a general way the locations of the stones, for uncer-
tainty as to kinship can often be determined by the relative position
of graves. Such can be copied by those temporarily in the vicinity,
and the results of the time spent will add much to the value of the
Society's collections because facts of which no other record exists
will be thus preserved.
The Report of the Committee ox Coixectign of Records, by
John Bliss Brainerd, M. D., Chairman :
The year has been one of considerable activity on the part of the
Society. There have been added to the Library fifty-three manu-
scripts (thirteen of these by piu-chase and forty by gift).
The Report of the Committee ox the Coxsolidated Ixdex, by
F. Apthorp Foster, Chairman :
The Committee on the Consolidated Index begs to report that
work on the Index of Places in volumes 1-50 of the Register is
well under way, and it is now hoped that the first part will be issued
in the early siimmer of 1910, after a delay due to an unavoidable
curtailment of the working force. In November, 190S1, a special
effort was made to obtain new subscribers to the Index, and with
successful results.

The Report of the Coienhttee on the Sale of Publications,
by Hemy Winchester Cunningham, A. B.
During the past vear an effort has been made to increase the
number of subscribers to the Eegistek, several hundred letters were'
sent out to non-sub^rribing libraries and societies. Special attention
has also been giveu to securing volumes of the Register towards
completing sets of the magazine. One complete set with Index has
been sold diu-ing the year.
Since the completion of the Memorial Biographies, vols, i-ix, an
offer has been made of the complete set at $10, resulting in the sale
of over forty sets.
The ' ' Somerset Pedigree Forms " issued last year have met with
satisfaction and a ready sale.
The Report of the Coidiittee on Increase of ilEiiBERSHip, by
Kate HasweU Wead, Chairman :
The Committee has held monthly meetings from October, 1908,
to May, 1909. Four of the members have been at every meeting
and one has not attended any.
Names of those who would make desirable members of the Society-
have been considered, many have been written to or interviewed
personally, and ten new members have been added to the Society as
the direct residt of the Committee's work. By the coiuiesy of the
Librarian other candidates have been referred to the Committee and
approved by it.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
Presented by William Prescott Gkeenlaw
Again the Librarian reports for the Library a year of uninter-
rupted activity and progress, with an increased use, and a continu-
ation of the recent remarkable growth along genealogicd lines.
Again he calls attention to the lack of adequate protection agiiinst
the danger of loss by fire, to the urgent need of more shelf room,
and to the demand for a better index to the printed data relating to
American families.
Members who do not visit the Society's House will find in the re-
port of the Committee on the Library for the year 1905 a frank
statement of the condition and fire risk of the building, made after
a careful examination by competent arcliitects. Those who frequent
the Library can easily determine for themselves its perilous situa-
tion. "Whole it is true that something was done in 1906 to lessen
this danger, it is also true that much was not done, because the fault
is fundamentally one of structure rather than detail. Consequently,
it was not possible, without going to gi-eat expense, to convert tlie
old mansion house, erected m 1805, into a first-class fireproof struc-
ture ; and such renovation and expense were not deemed wise in
view of the fact that the building was then too small for the Socie-
ty's collections and its work.
Again, as in previous years, a considerable number of books and
pampldets have been placed in storage to make room for important
accessions. In selecting these, care was taken to send out only those
which were seldom used. Occasionally, however, judgment based
on past experience was not a good guide, and serious inconvenience
has been experienced sometunes, because a work formerly rarely
consulted was no longer available to meet an urgent demand.
The use of the Library in 1909 by non-members, as sho^^-n by the
registration of visitors, was more than ten per cent greater than in
the previous year. The total registration of these visitors was 5576.
No record is kept of the attendance of members, but careful esti-
mates of the proportion of members to non-members mdicate an
even o-reater ratio of increase of consultation by members. The
Visitors' Register shows not only a larger attendance but also a wider
interest in genealogical pursuits. Where a few years ago the entry
of a name unknown to Savage's Dictionary was a rare occurrence,
one may now find in this Register a liberal sprmkling of names
which are uncommon, if found at all, in the early annals of New
England, as the following surnames selected from those registered
in 1909 will show :— Ahlers, Ament, Bauer, Bogardus,^ Breant,
Callowhill, Canaga, Chenoweth, Christenson, Conquest, Cracknell.

The growth of the Library is distinctly along genealogical lines,
and properly so, for there are plenty of state and local historical so-
cieties whose special mission is to attend to historical and antiqua-
rian interests, while a multitude of patriotic societies awaken and
stimulate interest in kindred matters. The expansion of the Libra-
ry in this direction is in response to the demands made upon it by
those who use it, fully ninety-five per cent of its use being for infor-
mation of a genealogical nature. Moreover, the genealogical field
is sufiiciently large to tax to the utmost the present and prospective
resourt?es of the Society. It is not to be inferred from this that the
local history of New England is being neglected ; on the contrary,
the Library is very complete in this respect. It is conceivable that
some captious critic might say that this policy of extension in this
direction is being carried to the extreme ; that the Library is getting
many genealogies of families outside of Xew England ; and to illus-
trate his criticism, select from the shelves genealogies of such fami-
liefi as Banta, Barclay, Beidler, Boehm, Bringhurst, DeVeaux,
DuBols, Dunlevy, Eastbum, Funck, Gemliardt, Herr, Jaquett,
Keim, Kemper, Kolb, Lundy, McClung, Maidsby, Meriwether,
Molyneux, Xavarre, Oberholtzer, Parshall, Penrose, Runkle, Rus-
ling, Sanxay, Schermerbom, Shoemaker, Shriver, Starin, Ten
Broeck, Tieman, Van Bimschoten, ^'an Voorhis, and Widener.
To such a criticism the reply is that these books, in almost every in-
stance, have information relating eitlier to Xew England families or to
their descendants who have settled elsewhere ; that while these fami-
lies settled outside of Xew England and apparently remained there
until after the census of 1790, more recently descendants of some of
them have come into Xew England, married and settled here — the
Boston Directory of 1909, alone, shows more than half of the sur-
names mentioned above ; that these books are called for and used
bv members of the Society, as well as visitors ; and also tliat. as
time goes on, these genealogies of families who settled in Xew York,
Pennsvlvania, Virginia and other states will be more and more in
demand bv descendants of old Xew England families because of the
mingling of the westward moving streams of population and the
consequent intermarriage of the descendants of the settlers of «idely
separated colonies. With these older families are being blended
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN XXV
more recent importations of European stock, and the Visitors' Regis-
ter, bv the surnames and by the residences entered, shows that "the
product of this amalgamation is already coming here in limited num-
bers for information about its maternal lines of ancestry.
Three hundred and sLstj'-two genealogies were added to the Li-
brary in 1909, a num}>er exceeding by twenty-two the annual average
of the previous seven years, which was a period of remarkable growth.
The toud accessions of the year number 661 volumes, 695 pampldets
and 266 miscellaneous articles. Of these, 257 volumes, 102 pamphlets
and 37 miscellaneous articles were purchased; 345 volumes, 561
pamphlets and 229 miscellaneous articles were given ; and 59 vol-
umes and 32 pamphlets were received in exchange. These acces-
sions added to the estimated number reported last year give 35,476
volumes and 35,436 pamphlets "as the approximate number in the
Library December 31, 1909.
In the last annual report attention was called to the need of a
better guide to printed data relating to American families. The Li-
brarian believes that this Society can now successfully undertake the
compilation, and the publication at regular intervals, of adequate in-
dexes ; and also that it should start on this work before the field is
again occupied by private enterprise.
A recent book, The Expansion of New England, shows graphi-
cally, by the aid of colored maps, the westsvard movement of popu-
lation from New England from 1620 to 1865. This book ought to
be helpfiil to family historians, and is valuable as a guide in the'selec-
tion of books for this Library. Those local histories, which the So-
ciety now owns, of places settled by emigrants from New England,
are frequently consulted here, and many inquiries are received for
other similar works which have not yet been acquu-ed. Using this
book then as a key, the Committee on Collection of Records "could
undoubtedly accomplish much for the Library by devoting some of
its energy towards gathering manuscript data concerning the west-
em branches of old New England families. To carry out this last
suggeerion, a suitable blank on tough linen paper, perforated for
fihng alphabetically in some loose leaf binder, could be designed,
using a family (father, mother, and children) as a unit of the" sys-
tem. Thus, by the use of as many units as there are known gener-
ations to record, a person could have filed here under the surname,
for the use of the fiiture genealogist of his family, the known data
about his own family and his particular line of ancestry. The value
of such an undertaking would be in proportion to the amount of ma-
terial gathered. The Society might charge a email fee for filino-
such pedigrees in its Library. A cheai>er grade of these blanks
would be useful to genealogists for gathering information. Careful
consideration of some such scheme for the registration of pedigrees
of American families having New England antecedents is recom-
mended.

Justin Allen, A.B., M.D., of Topsfield, Mass., elected in
1875, life member in 1883, died in Topsfield Xovember 5, 1908.
He was born in Hamilton, ^Nlass., September 29, 1826. son of
Ezekiel Allen, born in ^Manchester, Mass., ^larch 21, 1780, and

paternal grandfather was Andrew Allen : his maternal grandfather
Francis, son of David Roberts, both of whom did " honorable ser-
XlVUl N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY
vice, one or the other of them, in the campaigns of Bunker Hill,
Rhode Island, Long Island, Saratoga and other fields in the Eevo-
lutionaiy war."" He was fitted for college at Williston Seminary,
Easthampton, Mass., Eockingham Academy, Hampton Falls, N. H.,
and at Hampton Academy, Hampton, N. H. ; was graduated from
Brown University in 1852, and from the Harvard Medical School in
185t>. He had practised medicine in Topsfield, Mass., continuously
since 1857.
Mr. George Francis Dow, in a printed tribute to Doctor AUen,
says : " He died respected and beloved by every man, woman and
child in this community, and the tidings of his death brought the
tear or caught the heart beat of scores of friends and former patients
li\'ing without the bounds of Topsfield. None of his blood stood at
the betlside to close the weary eyelids, for he had lived alone and
left no near relatives, but the hands of friends ministered to him in
his sickness and soothed liis dying moments and the whole town paid
respect to the memory of a good man gone before.
"In June, 1857, Doctor Allen came to Topsfield and began the
practice of medicine. . . . He had been preceded in town in the med-
ical practice by others, yet from 1862 to 1892 this territory depended
almost exclusively upon the professional skill of Doctor Allen. ... In
1879, with the exception of a week at the Centennial Exposition in
1876 and a few hurried trips of not over two days absence each, he
had been at his post daily lor the space of twenty-two years. Fif-
teen years later he had relinquished the more laborious duties of his
profession and had enjoyed to a fuller extent the pleasures of travel,
but almost to the day of his death he gave friendly advice to those
who had leaned upon him for nearly a half centurj'."
'' Public office attracted him but little, although healways retained
a deep interest in public affairs and in state and national politics.
Earnest convictions upon the temperance question led him to affiliate
himself with the Prohibition Party, and on one occasion he accepted its
nomination for State Senator from this district. In 1865 he served as
superintendent of schools, and ten years later he served for one year
as a member of the School Committee. To the Town Library,
however, he gave most painstaking service. He helped to organize
the Library in 1874 and served on the Board of Trustees from that
time until the day of his death and .for the greater part of the time
was chairman of the Board. The duty of selecting the books to be
added to the library also devolved largely upon him and the perma-
nent worth and excellence of the volumes upon its shelves are a
monument to his affectionate care. Through a bequest of one thou-
sand dollars, the income to be applied to the purchase of historical
or biographical works, his influence will continue to be exerted for
the good of the community where he spent the best years of his life.

"In 1894 his interest in historical studies caused him to aid in
organizing the Topsfield Historical Societv. He was then elected
its President and tliereafter, until his death, annualh- reelected. He
was always most constant in attendance and deeply interested in its
welfare." " His personal qualities and private virtues, . . . . liis
strict allegiance to duty, the uniform conscientiousness which regu-
lated his conduct, and his thoughtful consideration for the rights and
happiness of others, must serve ever as an example to those who
knew him. Tranquil, content, philosophic, useful, his life flowed in
a quiet current. His reticence was a rebuke to the general loquacity ;
and his reserve, to the popular love of display."

he received the degree of ]M.A. from that institution in 1876. He
studied medicine in the medical department of the University of the

the founder of institutions. With his death ended a life of aston-
ishing industry and variety, whose activity contiiiued until within a
comparatively recent date.
He accepted election as a Corresponding Member of this Society
in 1859. and was, therefore, at the time of his death one of its old-

ton, Mass., Deacon Richard* Hale of Coventry, Coun., bom in New-
ton (?), SamueP Hale, Rev. John* Hale of Beverly, Deacon Rob-
ert' Hale of Charlestown, who arrived in America in 1630, and was
an ensign and selectman. It is supposed that he was of the Hales
of Kent, England. Doctor Hale was one of seven children, four
boys and three girls. His fatiier, Nathan Hale, was etlitor of the
Boston Daily Jidverliser, and a nephew of N^athan H;de, the mar-
tyr of the Revolution. His mother was Edward Everett's sister.
Doctor Hale was educated at the Boston Latin school, later en-
tering Hai-vard at thirteen. He was graduated in the class of l>o9
at the age of seventeen, the youngest member of the class. Among
his teachers there were Spai-ks, both Wares, Palfrey. Channing,
Longfellow, Pierce, Felton, Levering, Bowen, Mason, Dana,
Bache, and Francis Sales. Josiah Quincy was president. Young
Hale returned to the Boston Latin School, this time as teacher.
MEMOIRS 1X1
His duties as pedagogue failed, however, to dll his moments, and
he devoted his spare time to studying tor the ministry and workino-
on his father's paper. He learned to set tyjie in his father's printmg
office, and worked on the Daily A.dverti.ier in every capacity from
reporter to editor.
He left journalism for the ministry, because of his views of the
fiinctions of the clergyman. He believed that he should have a
fresher and broader inspiration as a preacher and an author than he
could compass in the editorial harness. In 1S4G he went to Wor-
cester as pastor of the Unitarian Church of the Unity, where he re-
mained for a decade, returnmg to Boston at the call of the South
Congregational Church. To this congregation Doctor Hale gave
the best that was in liim, never permitting outside calls to attract
him from his duty to his flock.
In the ^vriting of short stories Dr. Hale excelled, combining vivid
imagination with a fine conception of unique and grotesque situations.
In this field he achieved signal distinction. They would constitute
quite a library, and no American author ivrote tales more clever or
with more of Christian spirit. Besides "A ilan Without a Country "
and.:"" Ten Times One is Ten," Dr. Hale has \vritten "Margaret
Percival in America," " In His Name," "'Six. Tangier's Vacations,"
" jNIrs. Merriam's Scholars," " His Level Best," " The Ingham
Papers," "Ups and Downs," "Philip Xolan"s Friends," "Fortunes
of Rachel," "Four and Five," "Crusoe in New York," " Christmas
Eve and Christmas Day," " Christmas in Xarragansett," " Our
Christmas in a Palace," "Sketches in Christian History," "Kansas
and Nebraska," "What Career?" " Boy's Heroes," " The Story of
Massachusetts," " Sybaris and Other Home*," " For Fifty Years,"
" A New England Boyhood," " Chautauquan History of the United
States," " If Jesus Came to Boston," " Memories of a Himdred
Years," " Ralph AValdo Emerson,^ " We, the People," " New Eng-
land Ballads," "Prayers in the United States Senate," "Foundation
of the Republic" and "ilodem Achievements." Doctor Hale, in
later life, was the source from which was dra^^-n -much of the history
of early Boston and early New England. Upon many historical
subjects he delivered lectures.
Since Phillips Brooks, the name of Dr. Hale stood pre-eminent
among Boston's pulpit orators. Dr. Hale"s sermons were heavy
only in the quality of his voice. He did not deal with the abstruse
or the complicated. His tones were those of a man addressing man,
and were never sensational.
While pastor at Worcester, Dr. Hale m;irried iliss Emily B.
Perkins of Hartford, on October 13, 1852. Coming to Boston, Dr.
and Mrs. Hale lived in Worcester Street until 1869, when they re-
moved to Highland Street, Roxbury.

The following is taken from his letter of acceptance :
"Childhood. 1-12 years characterized by love of in-door or home pleas-
ures, drawing, joining with a school-mate in making a mioiature autograph
paper on Saturdays, and in the imitative stage of play, given to playing
cars, having been born and reared close to a railroad. Drawings made of
my own mind, not copies, were side elevations, not perspectives (pictures)
but I sat side of a school-mate now an able designer and engraver, whose
drawings were always picttires. So much for early bent. Remember see-
ing great comet of 1843 from a Boston house-top, on the part of Tremont
Street by the Common. As an episode, to gratify city relatives, was sent
to Mason Street pubhc school in the winter of 1842-3. 2. Boyhood, Be-
fore fall of 1844, when I entered the "Model School" above mentioned,
went to school because I was sent, and with no special study preferences.
There I learned to love study and showed fondness for arithmetic, algebra,
geometry, physiology, and natural philosophy. A composition of that
period being a boyish calculation of the locomotive power necessary to
draw Pompey's Pillar. Physiology liked for its own sake, and in I>ehalf
of a delicate, fatherless school-mate, of whom, tUl his death as a captain at
Antietam, I was very fond. Living in Commons (English) at Andover,
always warmly took sides against nmi, tobacco and slavery, took a daily
winter morning bath in a pail of ice water ; joined my chum awliile in
sweeping one of the school buildings to help pay our way : and kept a
journal, which though largely trivial, is interesting as preserving the seeds
of settled principles afterward. The theodolite possessed by the institu-
tion was of uncommon excellence, and I hud more and better practice with
it (being allowed to take it with my chum) than with any other since. At
Newlmryport, where I was one of "the first set (80) of pupils of the school
then lirst opened (April, 1848) the influences were more social. Being
one of a fuw older boys and fond of befriending younger ones in matters
me:moies
Ixv
of monil^ ana physiology and matliemutics (being so far j born teaclier) I
was uenerallv chairman of almost everythmg, garden committee, anniyer-
s-irv'coniimttee, etc. I have seen no happier days since. Boarded durmg
^hble two years in one place, the famUy of a very kind Baptist clergy-
man, R^v. Nicholas Medberv— though while there and under mfiueuces
befu'n in student pravtr meetings at Andover, I united with the religious
society of wliich then, as well as now (I believe) the Rev. Daniel tiske
WIS pastor. There also I sang in the choir. 3. Youth. On gomg to Troy
I was thrown into a very different life. Almost the entu-e social elevation
was that of moneyed " old families," while for the population generally,
the street* were the sewers, and pigs the scavengers. In summer, scream-
ino- charcoal men, and bell rmging milkmen, who never left their carts,
vied with birds in making sleep impossible after 4 a.m. In spring the un-
paved ciav streets were a level sea of watery mud from curb to curb, and
school-houses were the meanest buildings to be found. This was m IboO.
But an inteUigent and enterprismg middle class has long since quite trans-
formed the place, and even Ihea possessed and prized a vigorous lyceum,
library, and reading room association. The above is thrown in as a lively
picture of a New York inland city thirty years ago. Other dat«s and
events of this period are given under other heads. 4. Manhood. Alter
graduating at Troy in 18.51, I wrote many letters of appUcation for posi-
tions as en-mieering assistant, but the natural inditures pomtmg t« teach-
in'^ I was better pleased with an invitation to remain as assistant at li-oy,

considerable expansion of the Institute curriculum in 1852 made an open-
m" for me. as it was proposed to make graphics and the geometry of it a
separate department. It was pioneer work for this country to do so.
Hence I made my department (1854-18G4) and then made my series of
books to represent it and aid its substantial adoption elsewhere. lues-
day November 2, 1852. For the first time in my Uf e I voted for political

Frederick, Jr., son of Colonel Freilerick, Doctor Ralph, Ralph, to
John Pope of Dorchester, who is believed to be a son of John Pope,
senior, a pioneer of Dorchester before 1634. Of these ancestors
Colonel Frederick was an officer in the Revolutionary war, and
tlirough that service Colonel Pope was admitted to the order of the
Cincinnati. Doctor Ralph was an eminent physician in the town
of Stoughton. In the maternal lines the descent was fi-om Maj.-
Gen. HumphreyAtherton, the Rev. William Tompson, Capt. Roger
Clap, James Blake, the annalist, Rev. Stephen Bachder, INIr.
Thomas Nelson, Mr. Ralph Wheelock, Mr. Moses Paine, and other

Linder, born November 5, 1879; Charles Linder, bom November
1.5, 1881 ; and Linder, bom March 23, 1887.
Colonel Pope was educated in the public schools of Brookline.
He entered the 35th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry August 22,
1862, and was appointed 2d lieutenant, and promoted to be Ist
lieutenant March 23, 1864, captain, April 1, 1864; was brevetted
major " for gaUant conduct " «t the battle of Fredericksburg, Va. ,
and lieutenant-colonel for gallant conduct in the battles of Knoxville,
Poplar Springs Church, and in front of Petersburg, the latter pro-
motion being given March 13, 1865. The following is an extract
from a pamphlet already published :
Mr. Pope traced his descent through the weU-known New England fami-
lies of Pope, Pierce, Cole, Stubbs and Neale. Business reverses placed
the family in decidedly straightened circumstances, so that young Pope,
at the age of nine, was obliged to begin the struggle of life and learn the
lessons of perseverance and independence, which proved an excellent
:oimdation for his business career. The first work which he secured was
done for a neighboring farmer in Br'tokline, where the family was then
Li%-in2:. In this way he was employe! afternoons, and during all of his
vacations. Three years later he commenced buying fruit and vegetables
rrom the farmers, and thus set up a hnle business for himself, hiring other
'r«Dvs to assist liim, extending his line of trade, and in one siunmer reaping
;» protit of SIOO. At the age of fifteen he left the High School and seciu-ed
•emplovment in the Quincy Market, and later on took a position with a firm
dealing in shoe findings. There he did all the work of a porter, carrying
] 00 pound bales, stirring varnish lor hours in uncomfortable quarters un-
dor the si iew;ilk, and receiring S-4.00 a week for the work, which to-day
would no: he put on a full-gro-^Tn man. From bo3'hood up he practiced
economy, and kept a carefnJ ao:ount of his expenditures. The store was
more than five miles from his home, yet he frequently walked to and from
busifless. in order to save tie a\r fare of sixteen cents. When the war
broke oui he joined Salignac's Zouaves, and was chosen captain of the
Home Guard of Brookline. He was enthusiastic over military affairs
and became thoroughly fanuliar with the military tactics of the day. He
had hardly reached the age of nineteen when he joined the volunteer forces
of the Ucion Army, and went to the front as 2d lieutenant of Co. I of the
35th Massachusetts Infantry, on August 22, 1862. He was one of the
four original otficers of the regiment to be mustered out at the close of the
war. Hi5 chief battles were South Moimtaui, Antietam, Sulphur Springs,
Fredericksburg, Vick-burg. Jackson, Miss., Knoxville, Petersburg, and
Poplar S^'rings Church. He was wounded slightly in the leg at Knox-
ville. H-r was employed on important detached service, and acted as com-
mander of his regiment on. many occasions when the Colonel was absent
or disabled. He was highly complimented by his super"-..- ofiicers for the
ability an-i skill wliich he displayed in organizing within twelve hours a
provisionaJ regiment of artillery from the convalescent camp at Alexandria,
with which force he advaQce<i to the defense of Washington, assuming
command of Fort Slocum aad Fort Stevens with forty-seven pieces of artil-
lery. He served in the principal Virginia campaign, with Burnside in
Tennessee, Grant at Vicksl>arg. and under Sherman in Jackson, Miss. He
commanded Fort Hell at Petersburg, and in the last attack led his regi-
ment into the city when he was at the age of only twenty-one years.
After tiie war he returned to his former employer, but soon went into
business i-or himself in the line of slipper decorations and shoeman's sup-
plies. In 1.S76 and '77 he served as a member of the City Council of
Xewton, Mass. He first saw bicycles at the Centennial Exposition in
18715. Tlie first bicycle wicii which he became familiar was one imported
for his friend Mr. Alfred D. Chandler of Brookline. He often used to
ch:i~e Mr. Chandler with a g(;>o<l horse and buggy, but such races usually
ended in che wheelman disappearing around some distant corner.
The Pi>j>e Manufacturinir Company, for which Col. Pope supplied the
capital, ajiid of which he was from the outset President and active manager,
was organize"! early in 1877 for the marketing of small patented articles.
He paid a special visit to England and Europe in order to examine the
wheeling prospects abroad, with the idea of manufacturing for the Ameri-
can markru In September. 1877, he placed the first order for an impor-
tation of English machines. The first order given for bicycles to be manu-
factured izi the United States was in the spring of 1878. The Weed Sew-
ing Machine Co. of Hartford. Conn., imdertook this work, was soon con-
trolled, xiid finally bought out by him. In the interests of cycling he
foimded tie •• Wheelman.'" and put upwards of S60,000 into that enter-
prise. I: exists to-<lay und^r the name of " Outing." He took the lead
and shoul lered the expense of pushing to a suceessfid issue the suits be-
tween wheelmen and varlon.? citv goveraments, the result of which was the
throwing vj>^n of the public- parks for the use of wheelmen. Starting from
the small teginning of manniacturing tifty machines in 1878, he built up a
phenomenal business, empioving a capital of over 82,000,000, utilizing
four factories at Hartford. Conn., with some ten acres of tloorage, giving
empIoymTnt to an army of mr-ohanies, and having enrolled a list of over
Lxviii N. E. HiSTOPac genealogical societt
2000 agents. In Januar_v, 1892. he began anew his campaign for highw.iy
improvement. Through his untiring eflforts the United States Congress
and Legislatures of m;uiy states have adopted measures which tend in the
risht direction. The press of the country has generously supported him
iu^ Ms endeavors and the result has been a thorough inauguration of a
movement which it is confidently expected will result in our having good
roads. Col. Pope wal director of the American Loan and Trust Co.,
Boston Five Cents Sa\"ings Bank, a member of the Massachusetts Society
S. R. : has been commander of ilass. Commandery oi the Military Order
of the Loyal Legion, was a member of Edward W. Kingsley Post 113,
Alffouquin Club, IJoston Athletic Association, Country Club, and Art Club,
Beacon Society, twice president and three times -s-ice-president Society of
the 35th Regiment of Mass. Volunteers, Boston Merchants Association,
]^ew Riding Club, Massachusetts Horticultural Society, Society of the
Cincinnati, New York Athletic Club, Engineers' Club. New York, and the
Automobile Club of America. He has been vice-president of the Society
of Armv of the Potomac, a life member of the .^^erican Academy of Po-
litical and Social Science, one of the executive committee of the American
Association of Inventors and Manufacturers, Hartfonl Board of Trade,
and has been a visitor of Wellesley College and Lawrence Scientific
School of Harvard College. In addition he was an officer or director in
more than twelve other corporations. He had for many years declined
political honors.
It was necessary in the earlier stages of the business to exercise great
care in the matter of patents. All who owned any patented devices on the
bicycle as a whole, or on appliances used in its construction, rushed in upon
the pioneer company and demanded recompense in the way of royalties.
Col. Pope made it a point to buy outright all the patents which were con-
sidered valuable, and thus placed himself on a sound basis, at the same
time greatly benefitting the general condition of the trade by licensing
others to manufacture under the rights which he controlled.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE MEETING
OCTOBER 22, 1909
The observance of the sixty-fH'tli anniversary of the fouudhig of
flie Society was entrusted to the Committee on Papers and Essays,
and arrangements were made for holding the meeting in Ford Hall,
Arhburton Place, Boston, on the evening of October 22, 1909, at
■which an audience of about four hundred assembled, ^lusic was
furnished for the entertainment of those present, and after the ad-
dresses were finished supper was served.
At 8 o'clock the meeting was called to order by the ehau-man of
the Committee, "William Carver Bates, who spoke as follows :
Ladies and Gentlemen, Members and Guests:
In behalf of the Committee on arrangements I bid you a
hearty welcome to this celebration of the sLxty-fifth anniversary of
the beginning of the Society. The limitations of the hour do not
permit me to dwell upon the many ideas pertinent to the 'occasion.
To other hand^ is committed the. weaving of the historic tapestry
whose brilliant coloring will typify the successful career of the So-
ciety for these sixty-five years of its existence. You will be ad-
dressed by members who for several years have been active in its
manaeement, and by others whose good-will and sympathy with its
aims have been a constant encouragement. I have great pleasure in
presenting to you the President of the Society, the Hon. James
Phinnev Baxter, of Portland, Maine.
ADDRESS OF THE PRESn)EXT
HON. JAMES PHINNEY B.AXTER, A.M., Litt.D.
This is the sixty-fifth anniversary of this Society, and we have
met to commemorate it. It falls to me to welcome upon this
pleasant occasion our members and, especially, our friends, whose in-
terest in the objects of the Society has prompted them to confer upon
n the honor of gracing this meeting with their presence. The more
oxerous duty of presenting to you the history of the Society during
hi life of nearly three score and ten years devolves upon others far
1
better qualified than myself to illustrate it. I may be permitted to
sav, however, that my conuection with this society has convinced me
tliat its usefulness is not surpassed by any literarj- or historical body
in the country with wliich I am acquainted, and that in point of de-
Totion to its many interests its members are unexcelled. One of
the things I particularly regret is that I was not born fifty years
later than I was. that I might avail myself of the stores of historical
knowletige which the Society is accumulating, and which those who
are to follow me will find so helpful.
WhUe this Society is, as its name implies, an historical as well as
a genealogical socierv, it is recognized by the public at large as be-
ing more particularly interested in family liistory, a subject which
SLsty-five years ago had been almost unexplored, and which even
now fails to interest very many who are deeply interested in general
and even local history. Indeed, the objection is often urged that
the study of genealogy tends to foster family pride and exclusive-
ness, which is thought to be undemocratic This, however, is one
of those popular fallacies which the light of experience disperses.
There can be no doubt that a knowledge of one's ancestry, if' some
of its members have been reasonably useful in the world, is promo-
tive of self-respect and the strengthening of family ties, which are
important factors in the formation of character ; indeed, they are'
deemed by many as essentials to true patriotism. The solidarity of
the family is a theme which, of late, has particularly engaged the
attention of students of sociology, and this depends upon the per-
sonal interest of its members in ope another. The family in which
6uch interest is cultivated, soon finds that it cannot be limited to its
present members, but, to flourish in any satisfactory degree, must
reach rootward if it would find stabihty, and so it inevitably seeks to
become acquainted with its forbears who have in the past contrib-
uted to its character and standing in the world.
This is why the smdy of family history of late has commanded so
much attention. As a rule, a New England family which can trace
its line back to our early settlers will find ancestors who have dis-
tinguishe<l themselves by usefid and worthy lives, and the knowledge
of such an ancestry furnishes a strong bond of family union. To
promote the solidariry of our Xew England families is of the greatest
importance at the present time, and in this work our Society is
especially engaged.
A friend saicl to me the other day : " You are deeply interested I
know in the preservation of what is often denominated the New Eng-
land spirit, which was brought here by our English ancestors in the
seventeenth century, but which, as I read the future, is doomed to
extinction in a few more years."
" Look," he said. " at Puritan Massachusetts ; in fact, any city of
New England, and what do you see? Representatives galore of all
the so-calle^l Latin races, whose modes of thought and life so greatly
differ from oure. Look at the Jews from every part of the world
where they have been oppressed for centuries, with an omniviroue
appetite for land which it has never before been possible for then to
gratify, overrunning whole districts in onr cities and gobbling up real
estate eo rapidly that it begins to look as if they might crowd ou: our
dwindling native population, and, besides this, a vast horde rrom
every part of the known world, of various religions and imbued with
race prejudices, who know nothing of onr Christian institutions, and
care less. It looks to me as though th«e was no help for that type
of civilization which we once fondly thonght would forever dominate
New England."
I replied : " Your view seems to me a pessimistic one, and I cannot
agree with you. A considerable portion of the people coming here
have high ideals, and are making patriotic citizens of a high order.
I have many personal friends among them, and know whereof I speak.
Not all of our earliest colonists were up to the standard of onr so-
called Founders. 1 believe the men yoa speak of will develop a high
type of American citizenship, and have oomfidence in the preserrstion
of everything that is worth preserving in our New England type of
civilization."
Our schools, colleges, universities, and innumerable literary and
religious societies are a power, we may well beliere, which will pre-
Tcnt any considerable deterioration of those principles which the de-
scendants of the English Puritans have been taught to be the very
foundations of 'social order and strength. Our institations mus al-
ways continue to teach, and men most kam by experience that in-
dustry, economy and justice, are eseentia) to real success in Hfe,
which is what all are striving for. It may take a long time to kam
this, but the lesson, I believe, will be learned eventually. Besides,
those unpromising people from so many foreign lands are not to re-
main stationary. In a generation or two, with the opportimitiej for
acquiring education of heart and brain, may we not confideitly
count upon a type of citizenship which will do credit to our counay,
for the old New England leaven has in it a vital quality which tan-
not perish? . - - i r j
If our Society has any warrant for existence it is to be fonad
in the preservation of our New England family history by those
whose forefathers stood firmly for human liberty and equal oppcrtu-
nities for aU. This Societv is doing a most important work m dr^w-
ino- together the descendants of New England families, and uniting
them in the common work of gathering and preserving the memory
of noble men and women who cheerfully sacrificed so much for the
upbuilding of those educational and religious institutions which have
made our countay foremost among the Christian nations of the wo?}l.
For sixty-five years the New England Historic Genealogical S.>
ciety has been engaged in this useful work, and its extensive pijb-
lications of manuscript treasures, and the great library which it has
accumulated, are a monument to its industry. Suppose for a mo- |
ment that these publications had never been given to the world, {
that tlitse manuscripts and books had never been gathered — would |
not the people of New England and the millions in this great country |
of New England ancestry have suffered an irreparable loss ? I think f
all nnut admit that they would. ' J
Of course we cannot and do not expect the public at large to real- j
ize as we do, who are intimately acquainted with the work of our j
society and who are working for its upbuilding, the great value of |
its work. This is a world of varied industries, and men must labor '
in those lines in which they find that which most interests them. It ^
is our duty, however, as members, to make our work as widely ;
known as possible, that those who might be interested in it may lend |
a hand in such manner as they may desire to. Every member should |
consider himself a committee of information ready to meet inquirers |
and invite them to use our library ; and this leads me to say that
people desiring to use our library are always welcome. Many who 5
do not desire to join the Society are do'mg this, and have virtually [i
the same privileges extended to them as our members enjoy.- The ;.
field we cultivate is in no sense exclusive, but is broad enough for .|
all who desire to cultivate it. , , . J^
I have spoken of the great value of our literary property and of what ^, .^
its loss would mean to the world, and it seems my duty to lay par- ' _
ticular stress upon this subject. The great need of the Society at , .
the present time is protection of this property agamst loss. Our ^,
present building is, as we all know, unsafe, and common prudence
dictiites a fire-proof structure in its place. In view of this need we
have acquired sufficient land to build upon, and our next step will
be to secure a suitable building for our accommodation. To do this
will require the hearty cooperation of all our members, and, without
doubt, they will give it their attention. This Society is in no sense
a begging institution, and in speaking of our present need I do not
wish to be misunderstood. There are among our members many
who are apt in the solution of financial problems, and the committee
that is straggling with the question of providing ways and means
wouKl be glad to receive suggestions from them. In closing it is
my durv and pleasure, Fellow 3Iembers, and Friends who have con-
ferred upon the Society the honor of their presence, to extend- to you,,
one and all. a hearty greeting.
ADDRESS OF THE CORRESPONDING SECRETARY
HENRY WLNCHESTER CUNNINGIEA.M, A.B.
It is emineutly fitting tliat a Socirtv that ie sixty-five years of
acre should celelu-ate its birthday, and when the Chairman of our
C\)mmittec came to me a short time ago and said that he was m-
clhied to confine the remarks to what he was pleased to term home
talent "' I felt that tliis was to be a family party. But when he asked
me to crive in ten or fifteen minutes some statistics ot_ the gro^tii
and work of the Society, I fek that my task was a difticult one to
compress so much into so small a spa.^, and I shall therefore merely
touch upon some of the salient points without attempting to give
a ceneral history of our work. AR of you know m a genera
wav what the Society is and for what it stands, but many may not
be -familiar with its history and its a.i-comphshments. P^ople -h°
are thinking of joining have often asked me why they should join or
what they could get out of it, and I invariably begm mv answer by
teUing them that^by so doing they would exhibit a public spmtm
helping to preserve the memorials of the founders of New England,
that rare company of men and women whom old Governor Stough-
t«n characterized by saying that " God sifted a whole nation that he
might send choice grain over mto this wilderness.' And it was un-

the Society, to which it moved in October, 1847, was a room in
Massachusetts Block, at No. 8 Court Square, a building that waa
later torn down and whose site is now covered by a portion of the
City Hall. This was another small, dark room in a building filled
witli lawyers' oflices, but it was an improvement on the former
quarters, and its collection of filled bookcases had more the appear-
ance of a library.
In January, 1851, the Society moved to its third location. No. 5
Tremont Row, where it lived for seven years tiU the quarters be-
came 60 crowded that it was difficult to add another book.
In October, 1858, a large and well lighted hall was secured at
No. 13 Bromfield Street over the bookstore of Samuel G. Drake,
then president of the Society. The librarian of that day congratu-
lated the members upon their spacious quarters, and the Society felt
that it had reached a strong position.
During the twelve or thirteen years in Bromfield Street the library
and work of the Society grew to such an extent that another move
was imperative, and through the energy of its president, Marshall P.
Wilder, subscriptions were collected from members and other public-
spirited citizens that enabled the Society to purchase on March 12,
1870, its fifth and present location, No. 18 Somerset Street. The
building, which was then a dwelling house, was remodelled, and
when completed represented an expenditure of about $43,000. It
was dedicated ilarch 18, 1871.
By merely recounting these successive moves some idea is given
of the growth of the Society, and those of us who remember our
building as it was some fifteen years ago will recall how necessary
was the splendid addition put on then, which now forms the back
half of our present hall and hbrary, and as I remember the progress
of that work I can see plainly the familiar figure of Newton Talbot
superintending the construction and giving the Society the benefit of
his experience as a builder.
Today our library is outgrown and needs larger and better quar-
ters, and it remains for the members of today to do all in their power
to help us to a larger and newer home. Through all of these sixty-
five years the greater part of the work done has been a labor of
love, for nearly all the officers and committees have served without
remuneration, and foremost ujxjn tliat roll there is no name stands
out brighter than that of Benjamin Barstow Torrey. He gave us
freely of his time and served us faithfully as Treasurer for thirty-
three years. During nearly all this time he was a busy man of
the world, being Treasurer of the Boston & Providence and Old
Colony Railroads, and often came to the Society's rooms for long
hours of work after the business day had closed. When he first
took office the Society had only about $11,000, and when he retired
its library, real estate and securities were worth $300,000. It
would be difficult to name all those who have in the past served
the Society loug and well, but we should surelv rectill the name^ of
Samuel G. Drake, Alraon D. Hodges, J. H. Sheppard, Frederic
Ividder, Edmund F. Slafter, John T. Hassam. "William S. Apple-
ton, Edward G. Porter, Marshall P. Wilder. Wiuslow Lewis,
Jeremiah Colburn, Thomas JB. Wjinan, Dorus Clarke, William PI.
^Vhitmore, and William Claflin, all of whom have passed on to a
better land ; of Henry F. Waters, Albert H. Hort, Henry H. Edes,
James F. Hunnewell, and Abner C. Goodell, and two other names
that are familiar to us all, those nestors among antiquarians, William
B. Trask and John Ward Dean. The work that these two men
did for the Society is worthy of a separate address. For long years
they were so intimately associated with the Society that no antiqua-
rian or genealogist came to the rooms without inquiring for them,
and I think I am safe in saying that there w;is no worker in our
field but gained some valuable piece of information from his conver-
sation with them.
To me it has always seemed that the greatest value of this Society
lay in its superb library and in its publications. We have today a
larger and finer genealogical hbrary than any other institution in
the country, and many of our books are unique and could not be
replaced if they were lost. This is due partly to the foresight of
early members in getting these treasures while they were obtainable,
and partly to our present efficient librarian in acquiring during the
past ten years such rare items as appeared ij auction sales or by
gift from private collectors. Our library is kaown fax and wide and
is daily consulted, not only by large numbers of members but by
visitors from all over our own country and even from abroad, par-
ticidarly by those of New England origin who have a just pride in
tracing the small beginnings of their sturdy pioneer ancestry. Es-
pecially in summer is our library filled with kindred trom the West
who have come East for theu- holiday, and ai-e busy finding some
trace of their forefathers, for
•• Ever to those of Eastern birth no matter wh^^e they roam,
The dearest spot on earth to them is their old New England home."
Our membership of recent years has been largely recruited from
this class, who have joined from a desire to help this institution, and
it is for us who still live in the old home to do more than we have
done to preserve the memorials of our ancestors and carry out the
motto of our Society, In memoriam laajovum. From the five orig-
inal members of 1844 we have grown to a Society of over one thou-
sand resident, and seventy-eight corresponding and honorary mem-
bers, and every man and woman who values the history- and tradi-
tions of early days can help us by joining, and thus contributing his
or her part towards this good work.
In 184G, two years after the formation of the Society, it Ijecame
apparent that some means must be taken for putting in more per-
10
manent form for general use the many records, manuscript genealo-
gies, and stray bits of historical value that the Society was collect-
ing, and 80 oiu- magazine, the Register, was started, and lias reg-
ularh' appeared every cjuarter since. Its sixty-three volumes are a
treasure-house to the genealogist, and no one can attempt to study
the history of Xew England families without carefiilly consulting its
pages. Its commercial value is now so great that complete sets have
sold as high as $400, and the rarest volume has, I believe, brought
$75 — in fact so rare has this volume 16 become that a few years
ago it was reprinted by a bookseller of this city. In order to make
these volumes more accessible to the student, the Society began
some few years ago the work of making a complete index of the
names, subjects, and places in the first fifty volumes, and of this
stupendous undertaking three octavo volumes have been finished and
published.
Another work is the publication of brief memorial biographies of
all deceased members from the beginning, and this has filled nine
handsome volumes which take the list through the year 1897. Since
then these biographies appear in the Register. This work has
been aided through the generosity of the late William B. Towne, an
early treasurer of the Society, who gave a fund for this pm^ose. By
this means every member is sure of a brief memorial sketch that will
preserve his name and career for the future.
This Society was the pioneer in the movement to get the State to
assist in the publication of the vital records of Massachusetts towns,
and through the generous response of the State this Society has al-
ready published and preserved for futm-e generations the fast decay-
ing records of thirty-seven to«Tis, besides having many more in prep-
aration.
Ajiother fine piece of work is the research done under our aus-
pices among the archives of old England for traces of the founders
of our New England, a work that has been carried on for many
years at much expense through subscriptions given for that purpose.
We were fortunate in having the services of that eminent antiqua-
rian, Henry F. Waters, a master in searching English records, who
regularly sent an instalment of his " finds " to the Register. Many
a prominent American family has thus been able to dis<?over some
trace of its English forbears through ]SIr. Waters's work. It k to
him and his work through this Society that the world is indebted for
its knowledge of the early days and ancestry of John Hanard. Pre-
A-ious to this the late James Savage, the author of that stupendous
work. Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, had made a standing ofler
of $500 for five words of authentic reconl about the ancestry of Har-
vai-d, and no one had ever appeared to claim the reward. The i-e-
sult of jNIr. Waters's Gleanings we published later in two large % ol-
umes. Our associate, Mr. J. Henry Lea, who since then has been
an active worker in the English archives, proposed to the Council to
print in full aU the wills in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury for
11
certain years, instead of picking at random as ^Ir. Waters liad done.
The Council has published from i\Ir. Lea's manuscript those wills
for the year 16iO, but the sale of this volume has not been such as
to warrant funher i^ues. Here is a work that some generous per-
sons who ai'e interesred might well pursue.
In fact, if one is anxious to learn the extent of our publications he
has but to turn to the large Bibliography of Historical Societies,
published in 1905 by the American Historical Association, and he
will find that the ILsi of our work covers one hundred and twelve
pages of small tvjje, a larger space than that filled by any other his-
torical society. During the year 1908 we printed three thousajid,
three hundred and tLirty-one pages, the high water mark of our
work.
Smce 1874 the paper used for our Register and other publica-
tions has been made especially for us, in order that we might have
one that would stand the test of time, and we have encouraged the
use of such paper among all genealogists, as well as the use of a per-
manent ink for all such manuscripts as are to be preserved.
The Society has in its safe a number of valuable manuscripts, per-
haps the most interesting being three or four of the account books
of John Hull, the Treasurer of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
These books are filled with the accounts of moneys paid to the sol-
diers in King Philip's War, and proved to be of the greatest value to
the historian of that war. Another treasure is the Knox ]\Ianu-
ecripts. These letters and papers of Gener?J Henry Ivnox are ar-
ranged and bound in fifty-five volumes. They contain many items
of interest and valne during the Revolutionary period, and were
given to the Society in 1873 by the general's grandson, Admiral
Henry Knox Thacher.
WhUe we have spent our energies during recent years in enriching
our library, by comipleting our collection of genealogies and town
histories, yet many interesting and valuable reUcs are to be seen in
om- rooms. We have one portrait by Smibert, one by Copley, and
a picture of Hon. Peter Bulkeley that is said to be by Sir Godfrey
Kneller. We have some of the Pelham engravings and one of the
four rare water-colors by Christian Remick, representing the British
fleet in Boston Harlior in 17G7 ; but perhaps the quaintest pictm-es
on our walls are two very old portraits of Edward l^wson, the Co-
lonial Secretarv, and his daughter Rebecca. In the Council Room
may be seen the large round table of Rev. John Pierpont and the
Governors' chairs. These latter are six in number, each one having
been the property of an old-time governor of one of the New Eng-
land States, that of Massachusetts having belonged to John Hancock.
Such, Mr. President, are some of the possessions of' our Society,
and such have been some of its works, and it has sers-ed its purpose
well ; but I am confident that a larger field of usefulness is before it,
and that it is destined to be of more service to the public and of more
interest to its members.

ADDRESS OF THE TREASURER, CHARLES
IvNOWLES BOLTON, A.B.
Ix our many activities it behooves us not to forget that this
Society stands for the study of genealogy. We live in a period and
in a city crowded with diversified interests. If, tlierefore, we are to
Ik" effective, we must not forget to do one thing well. This one
thing, I think you will all agree, is in our case the proper study of
family history. To make genealogy worth while it must be re-
spected of all men and must be allied in the world's work in which
all men are engaged. This is not so difficult when we consider that
genealogy- touches life in its most momentous relations.
In looking back over our sixty-five years of successful eflfbrt there
comes to us a feeling of satisfaction. We see evidences everywhere
that our work has been useful in the community, yes, useful far
beyond the bounds of New England. You have heard, and you
will hear again this evening, the details of a society's struggle and
gro\vth. AVe are here to commemorate the self-sacrifice and the
devotion of men whose memories are dear to this Society. But in
commemorating the past we, while we linger here together, must not
forget to lay sure foundations for a greater future.
I have said that genealogy touches life in its most momentous
relations. Why, then, does not our subject appeal more strongly to
s<-holar8? AATiy is it not more often called a science? I think we
can answer this by fiaying that genealogy, as it is customarily
studied or developed, does not closely ally itself with other fields of
serious research. In this, genealogy is weak. If it is to receive
honor from the historian, the anthropologist, or the sociologist, it
must contribute something to the sciences into which these men
delve. For every true science does contribute to every other true
science. Genealogy has done much to make people happy, a little
perhaps to make people better. But in so far as it merely contri-
butes to vanity and self-satisfaction, it is unworthy to rank as a
science.
Our subject comes nearest to doing its duty worthily in its alli-
ance with history. A few family books tell of political events con-
temporary with the lives depicted, although too often they give much
space to descriptions of wars and to the parts played ip them by the
members of the family. Did these soldiers never have political
views ? Were their lives never influenced by current events, by an
inflated currency, a shortage in the bread supply, a scarcity of maid
*Tnants, or if these events are not enough, by the acts, outrageous
or cthcnA-ise, of the governor of a colony or of a king across the
w^.ter? Does our genealogist never say that in such a year Thom-
s->n's Seasons or Addison's Spectator first was discussed at the village
K'-.eum or sewing circle, and that his family led in the discussion ?
A large library frequently receives books and newspapers of early
date which bear familiar names written on the fly leaf or margin.
CHir ancestors, tlierefore, (lid have their books and papers. Does a
g>?nea]ogy mention what books long-ago members of the family
omieii. or read as they sat about tlie hearth in tiie fitful light of
evening ? Here are subjects for research : " Titles of early books
and by whom o^^~ned;'' "Titles of early newspapers and their sub-
scribers." Shall we not some day find a great-great-grandson who
will t:ike more pride in the fact that his log-cabin ancestor owned a
copy r.f Paradise Lost than that lie fougb.t at Louisburg ?
It would be of value to the student if he could find in a genealogy
much about early customs and methods of work. Farming out the
paupers, paying the minister in produce, co-operation in building
and in reaping, the work of the middle man in buying and selling
rattle — these arc subjects on which family papers throw light. To
the student of economics they are of value. If he finds liis facts
summarized in a family history and is not forced to search for them
himself, genealogical study has become the handmaid of economics,
and is a science.
In very few of our rolumes have I seen any statement in. regard
to the domestic life of the people who are recorded in the family
book. The average reader to-day doe^ not stop to think that Jere-
miah and Samantha, Seaborn and ^lindwell settled down to married
life with corn-meal instead of wliite flour, pork instead of beef, cider
instead of coffee, and the all-useful knife instead of a fork. Does a
genealogy mention under tiie proper generation the coming into use
of white sugar, the introduction of the Irish potato, the stove and
the carriage, or the craze for the growing of flax and tlie founding of
the Boston spinning school ? These events influenced the lives of
onr ancestors. In short, are we genealogists writing the lives
of people or are we copying records?
At a certain point in town records we find families naming their
children Horatio or Horatio Xelson, and at another time George or
Lafavette or Wellington. I wonder if any one has made a study of
events as shadowed in the naming of children. This would ally
genealogy with history. Perhaps it would show, also, that some
ambn2^ the old Puritans had their heroes of renown.
Geoealo"-v a<rain owes a debt to anthropology and to sociology.
What is the" eflect of environment on life "r It is said that the second
:^eneration on American soil suffered from the struggle to subsist.
That is, it was weaker and less well educated. The historian of a
famous New England stock ■svrote that the men of this second gener-
arion. livinff in hardsliip and privation, all died early from the excessive
Uie or" alcoholic liquor. That author at least was frank in his desire
to picrure the life of his ancestors. But most of our family histories
expei:-i us to assume that we are reading the lives of the saints.
Speaking of saints reminds me of the religious life of long ago
-.vheu mcn'^vere fined in court for absence from divine service. Tlie
14

people drove ten miles and remained all day. The horse-sheds
were filled and the pews were crowded. Country life held young
as well as old. How is it now? The horse-sheds , are torn down
and the pews are empty. Country life offers delight only to the city
man with his Sunday paper and his automobile. Let the genealo-
gist study his facts candidly, that he may decide what he thinks
about the merits of the old days as compared with ours in their in-
fluence upon the life of the country.
But I must hurry on. The great contribution which we can make
to science is along the line of heredity, ^^^lere so surely may the
student expect to find his basic facts as in the family history ? And
yet the biographical dictionary is almost his sole reliance, although '^
this source gives him a picked class only on which to base his con- |
elusions. If he had haLf a dozen scientifically prepared genealogies, '
describing old stock, what a mine of information would be his ! One 4
good family, the Jonathan Edwards line, and several of a criminal M
bent, have been described in books, but not by a family historian. m
In order that we may ^vrite a pleasant genealogy are we are to omit ^M
all that might aid the student of heredity ? If your family is com- ' *
posed of saints, add to the study of saints by writing a scientific
genealogy of them. Kit is not, spare your parents, if you must be
filial to the point of canonizing them, but do not canonize the whole
family.
In the study of factors which go to make up environment there is
comfort in the conclusion reached by Mendel, the great Austrian
monk whose researches are now the only sure foundations which we
have for the study of heredity. His disciple Bateson says that
" whereas our experience of what constitutes the extremes of unfit-
ness is fairly reliable and definite, so that society may work to elim-
inate the unfit strains," any attempt to distinguish certain strains as
superior and to give special emcouragement to them would be unsafe,
since we have as yet so little to guide us in estimating the qualities
for which society has or may have a use. So elusive is the origin of
what we call genius I
Few books of the kind we have under review speak much of phy-
sical inheritances. At every point I find that scientists differ as to
the significance of the facts thus far made available, perhaps because
so little evidence is to be had. Do you find long lines of descent
bearing light hau- and blue eyes, with other lines of dark eyes and
hair? In England the upper classes tend to light hair and eyes.
Does it follow that as stock improves through several generations
the color of hair and eyes tends to lighten? I fear no family his-
tory can tell us. Do certain diseases nm in certain lines ? The
study of these presents a curious problem, since doctors of old had
general expressions for troubles which we differentiate now by long
Latin names. Is it nut for u^ to furnish much of the material for
which science calls in rhe furthur study of these problems?
In Bateson's work on :Menders Principles of Heredity, pulilished
at Cambridge, England. tliLs year, vou wUl-find a series of questions
to be answered bv a studv of families. A man who is color-blind
has, we will sav,"a normal sister who mames. It is said to be an
even chance whether anv of her children will be color-blind at all ;
but if they are, then the sons will be color-blind and normal m equal
numbers. "and her daughters ^vill all be normal. Again, a color-
blind man marries a normd woman and the children will show no
trace of the defect. But it' we reverse the conditions, and the man
be normal and the wife color-blind, the sons will all be color-blind
and the daughters, while all normal, will be capable of transmitting
color-blindness to the next generation. When scientists are enun-
ciatiuo- such theories is it not for us to apply them, to reaffirm what
proves to be truth and to put a stop to error? The law ot hereditv
laid dovm by Galton and partially confirmed by observation should
interest every genealogist. He says that half of the sum of our m-
heritance* is from our "parents and one-fourtli from our grandparents.
Nevertheless, slight as the thread of descent becomes back of one's
grandparents, a wooUv head or a deformed hand may reappear in
each generation for two centuries. This bebg true, we may with
equal hope of success look for the persistence of a valuable inheri-
tance through many generations. I have always felt that the \\ ol-
cott family, with its major-generals, its signer of the Declaration of
Independence, its senators,"and its governor in each generation, owes
its success to one ancestral girl, ]SIartha Pitkin, wnose merits were
80 evident that her possible departure out of the Colony became, it
is said, a matter of general concern.
This transmission of habits and mental endowments mu--t prove
of interest to everv one of us. The Puritan is called sober-minded
and hardy, the Scotchman witt^- and thrifty, the Irish emigrant
adaptable and ambition.-. These and other conceptions of race pe-
culiaritv seem sure. What, then, of the inheritance of the individ-
ual' it seems that the average famUy in England consists of about
five children, although some statistics put the number as high as
six In famUies where there is aJjnormal ability the average number
of children rises from six to seven. The same tendency to raise the
averacre is observable in criminal stock also, showmg thai genius
and degeneracy appear to be allied and that size ot tamdy inay be
eignific'ant. Has any genealogist ever found the average size of
family in his book and then examined those children where the fam-
Uy group exceeds the normal to see whether the group tendency is
towards genius or degeneracy ?
AcrainT the oldest child has a much greater likelihood of a dismi-
guishe-i career than his brothers and sisters Isext to h.m in mi-
portan,- comes the voun^est chUd. Is this theory, which i. .leduced
from lives in the -reat English Dictionary of Isational Bi.graphv.
true in New England? Yet ag-ab, the lather and moth- r arc by
1
10
some said to grow more alike in facial expression as they maturq.
This means approximation to a family tj-pe, tending it is said, toward
the male characteristics. If so, should not the younger childi-en,
who are born of parents of converging type, carry on the family face
more accurately than the older cliildren? In other words, a compo-
site of the faces of children born when their parents are mature will
give the face that goes with the name. If this is true, we do not in-
herit equally from all the 16,000,000 ancestors of the Conquest per-
iod (presuming there were so many), and the family type like the
i-ace type is real and becomes of Interest.
There are other interesting phases of genealogy. It is hardly cus-
tomary to study closely the romantic side of marriage to ascertain
evidence of social standing and family advance or decline. In the |
middle period of immigration where the foreign-born resident was so |
unusual that he had none of his kind in the neighborhood, marriage '.I
with a Yankee girl gave indication of the decline in the girl's family. j;:|
Perhaps we may say to-day that she who marries a Portuguese or '
French Canadian emigrant is not of just the social station claimed
for a farmer whose family have occupied the old mansion for several
generations. Permanence of domicile, and to some extent the trans- ^
mission of a trade from father to son, as President Eliot has pointed W.
out, lead to a superior stock. And in confirmation of this we find %
that there is no lack of family pride in the make-up of the prosper- ' ;
ous farmer.
Statistics seem to indicate that ability is democratic. It goes to
the man who uses his hands almost as often as to the lawyer to be-
stow its laurels ; oftener indeed to the farm than to the army or to
the medical school. The two great sources of ability, says Have-
lock EUis, have been the church and trade. What changes will our
new environment bring forth ? The church no longer seems to dom-
inate the town, and trade, once the cherished vocation of the proud '
squire's younger son, is now less admired. Are the law and medi-
cine to have their day in nurturing the world's leaders ? We who
are here this evening have a right to be interested in the distribution
and inheritance of ability, for John Wintlu-op's company, _with many
others of our early ancestors, come from Norfolk and Suffolk, the
east-county land of England, which has produced more great men
than any otlier part of the British Isles.
In trying to set for ourselves a higher standard of genealogical ex-
cellence we do not forget the splendid work that has been done. It -
makes for accuracy and order. It makes for sound reasoning. It
has raised up in every city and frontier town an eager advocate for
the preservation of records, so that volumes that once lay neglected
are now in good repair and secure against fire. The old house go-
ing to' decay receives a new C(jvering of shingles because a study of
old records repeals its part in history. Genealogy brings back to the
hill to^\^l the city daughter, reverencing the old surroundings and
eawr to save memorials of her ancestral davs from destruction.
17
To know of right living in our ancestors encourages 113 to higher
ideals. To learn of ancestral weakness or disease prejiares us to
work intelligently to overcome unfortunate inheritances. Genealogy
as a science helps us. therefore, to help ourselves. But it must also
aid workers in other fields of science to help the race to which we
all belong.
LETTER FROM HON. CHARLES FRANCIS ADA^IS, LL.D.
PRESIDEXT OF THE ]MASSACHUSETTS
HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
Oct. 21, 1908,
As respects the meeting, tomorrow evening, to observe the 65th
Annirersary of the founding of the N. E. Historic Genealogical So-
<;iety, I very much regret to say I shall be unable to attend. Since
my return from Europe I have not been well ; and my physician,
while reluctantly consenting to my coming to town in the day-time,
absolutely inhibits my being out late at night. My trouble is only
temporary ; but. so iiar as the occasion referred to is concerned, in
the language of Mercatio, " 't is enough ! 't will serve."
I regret this the more, inasmuch as the X. E. Historic Genealogi-
cal Society is that oee of all our home sister societies for which I
have the kindest feeling, and to which I feel under the deepest obliga-
tion ; and I speak now as President of the Massachusetts Historical
Society.
On far too many occasions, and to an altogether uncalled for de-
gree these societies historic, and otherwise — which have sprung mto
life so profusely during recent years, — infringe on each other's fields.
In other words, they stimulate to a most unnecessary dupUcation of
material and profuseness of printing, both of which are in my opinion
undesirable.
There is not, however, and never will be, any trouble, or jealousy
arising from these sonrces, between the Massachusetts Historical So-
ciety and the New England Historic Genealogical Society-. Xot only
do the two organizations labor in diiferent fields, but the Historic
Genealogical Society Las relieved the ^lassachusetts Historical Society
of a work no less onerous than extensive and usefid. In fact, I do
not see how the Historical Society could have staggered along, and
attended to its proper functions, had it been also encumbered with
the great and growing labor of genealogical research and accumula-
tion. The two societies thus move on, to the general advantage of
the community, on cn-ntinually diverging lines.
It is almost needless to say that, wliile the Historical Soeletv has.
within the limits assi^ed to it, ample field for usefulness, tlie field
18
occupied by the Historic Genealogical Society is both larger, and 'i
one which excites a more lively interest. |
As evidence of this, itis only necessary to refer to the amount of I;
space in the public prints occupied by each. The facts in connection (
with the Historical Society are brought to the notice of tlie public in |
a paragraph perhaps half a column long, in the newspaper issues, |
once a month. The work of the Historic Genealogical Society, on
the contrary, now fills two entire broadsides of the Boston Transcript I
each week, and the demand for greater space is continually making !
itself felt. I
The obvious fact is that the interest felt in genealogy, tliough of |
comparatively recent date, is continually increasing, and now far ex- J
ceeds the interest felt in any purely historical investigation. i
Under these circumstances, there is no society in the Common- >
wealth to which, as President of the Massachusetts Historical Socie- j
ty, and so a worker in common fields, I would sooner extend the I;
hand of fellowship in evidence of an earnest wish for future prosper- :|
ity, than to the Historic Genealogical Society. |
Though the Historical Society is far the older organization of the ':
two, I think I speak within limits when I say that, under existing
conditions, to one person, outside of its own somewhat exclusive
membership, who visits the rooms of the Historical Society for the
purpose of investigation, ten persons at least visit those of the
Historic Genealogical Society.
If I am correct in this surmise, — and I think I have spoken with-
in limits, — it is needless for me to say that the feeling I entertain
towards the sister society, — of which, by the way, I have long been
a Life JNlember, — is not only one of admiration for excellent work
already done, but, also, one of sincere gratitude at its having relieved
its older sister from long and exhaustive labor in a field which it ^as
never designed to occupy. The two Societies have specialized and
difiercntiated ; to the great advantage of both, as well as to that of
the community at large.
I regret my inability to be present, and to put these sentiments on
public record tomorrow evening ; but in view of the fact that, for
reasons already stated, my presence is out of the question, I hope
you will see to it that the above is brought to the attentiou of those
met to observe the celebration of tomorrow, as a tribute from one
whose place it would be to speak, if called upon to speak at all, as
representing both a sister and a senior organization.
19
Messrs. "VA^ilfiied Harold Muxro, A.M., President of the Ehode
Island Historical Society, and Henry LEFAVorR, Ph.D., LL.D.,
President of The Colonial Society of ^Massachusetts, made brief
extemporaneous addresses felicitating the Society upon its achieve-
ments for the last sixty-five years, and expressing the hearty congrat-
ulations of the bodies represented by them.
ADDEESS OF EEV. JAilES DE XOE^L\XDIE, D.D.
It is an interesting experience to take part in the meeting of a
society which for sLxty-five years has been devoted to two matters of
such importance as histon,- and genealogy.
History has generally been looked upon as a dry and tedious study.
It has been the one for which most pupils have had the least interest,
and history of the past has justifieil this indifference. It has been
80 much a story of wars and intrigues, of national and individual
ambitions and tyrannies, of riders who have been given to self ag-
grandizement, and peoples who have suffered every oppression.
But within the period of your Society all this has been greatly
changed, and historians like Buckle, Fronde, Mommsen, Parkman,
Prescott, ^Motley, and Bancroft have made the study of engrossing
interest. They have set before us in living colors the customs of
the times, the eccentricities of the actors : they have .made striking
portraits of the leading characters ; they have sought for tlie under-
lying reasons which have led nations to triumph or defeat ; and they
have marked, or leave us to mark, how there has been a gradual
betterment of society. Xo one can study history without being a
reasonable optimist.
New England has been particularly rich in events and rich in per-
sonalities which are of commanding attraction. The dangers and
struggles and hardships endured in founding our nation we only too
soon forget. There is not a town in Xew England whose early lives
do not furnish examples of marked character, of great individuality,
and of strong vinues. We may not look upon them now as per-
sons of altogether agreeable traits f jr our companioushij) — I think a
great many saints must have been rather trying to live witn^but
we cannot help admiring the work they did.
The local historical societies are gathering up all these incidents
which belong to the past years of a communitj-, and these form the
material out of which, after a while, the historians form a calm sur-
vey, and a just picture of bygone periods — and nothing but comes
into plav. Old records, stained with the mold and damp of time,
a torn leaf, an old almanac, a dim and disfigured manuscript, family
letters, will often supply information we might seek for in vain else-
where. Who has forgotten that important event in ecclesiastical
history, the revision of the New Testament, and what was of most
value to the translators, what threw the most light upon the text,
was the manuscript of Tischendorf, now preserved in the Library of
St. Petersburg, tlie leaves of which had been snatched from a waste
basket and a stove in St. Catherine's Convent on Mount Sinai. We
are just learning what the true historical method is. Most history
has been of a partisan character in politics, or a sectarian char-
acter in religion. It has been written in the interest of one side or
another. But as the naturalists have shown us wliat the scientific
method is — just to learn the facts, laws, and processes of nature
without regard to their preconceived theories — so the historian is
simply to learn and tell the whole truth, to examine all sides of any
event, or any period or any person.
When we come to genealogy we reach a subject which has not
been supposed to have much place in a new land or in a democracy.
Still, every one must have noticed what a growing desire there is
everywhere to look up and cherish our ancestry. In old lands where
an aristocracy has rided — and aristocracy always should rule, only it
should be an aristocracy of merit, and not of birth, or wealth, or
power or station — this has been carried to a ridiculous extent. Ev-
erything went by inheritance. " What have you to substantiate your
claim," it was asked of Moore, and he wittily replied, " Noah had
three sons, Shem, Ham, and one more." Now we talk more about
environment, upon what the man is, or has done for himself. It
has been said that the man who has nothing to boast of but his an-
cestry, is like a potato, the only good belonging to him is under-
ground. All other things being equal it is a good thing to have a
long line of ancestors who, if they have not been famous, have been
respectable, just, honorable, worthy members of a community. It
is interesting to know about your ancestors, but the main question
must still always be, " What are you ? " and he who is not ashamed
of himself need not be ashamed of his early ancestors.
^ly predecessor, John EUot, the apostle to the Indians, puts down
in black and white what he thought of his parishioners, their vir-
tues and their sins. He likes to speak of the worthy ones as leav-
ing behind "a sweet savour of godliness." Here is the gentle way
in which he describes a reprobate : " he went from us to the State of
Connecticut, where he lived for several years without givmg any
satisfaction, to the consciences of tlie saints." I notice how this in-
terest in ancestors grows by the number of persons, a steady stream
from all parts of the country, coming to consult this most interest-
ing of all parish records. A man from the Far AVest wanted to
look up a certain name. I soon found it in the records as coming
with the early settlers, but when we searched fm-ther he was not
21
over-pleased to find the name again " excommunicated for notorious
drunkenness."
It is a good thing to have had these sLsty-five years of all these
members who have show-n their interest in these two subj ?cts ; all
their researches into the past ; all these studies of those honored
ones who have planned a prominent or a faithful part in lie — these
studies which help ui to a reasonable optimism, and to a better hope,
and which give us the assurance that our society has surely made
some progress, that may go on to an ever ascendiiig path.

Johnson's Wonder- Working Providence of Sions
Saviour in New England, 1628—1651
By Captain EDWARD JOHNSON
Edited by Dr. J. F. JAMESON
Director of the Department of Historical Research in Carnegie Institution of Washington ; — a de-
scendant of the writer
This famous old document is the first published histotj of New England, ante-
dating as it does both Winthrop's Journal and Bradford's History of Plymouth Plan-
tation. Captain Johnson, who came to this country in 1630, wrote it in reply to various
defamatory reports in England of the situation in Massachusetts, both in the Church
and politics.
He gives a stronger, clearer picture of New England life in those days than any
later writer of fact or fiction.
The work is particularly valuable as being a first-hand account of the times, written
by one of the rank and file of the colony, and not by a high official, as were Winthrop's
Journal and Bradford's History; thus the writer presents conditions from the viewpoint
of the colonists themselves.
IT IS ONE VOLUME OF Original Narratives of Early American History
A series that sets forth at first hand the settlement and development of this country.
Other volumes already out: The Northmen, The Spanish Explorers in the South-
ern United States, Governor John Winthrop's Journal, etc. All edited by highest
authorities. Sj-oo net ; postpaid $3.30 per volnme.
" I feel like congratulating you heartily on the impression which, I am sure, the volumes already
published of the 'Original -Narratives of Early American History' must make on all who examine
them. I hey seem to me admirably done, both from the editorial and publishing side, and likely to be
of constantly increasing usefuluess to students, school and libraries as time goes o'a."— George B.
Adams, Ph.D., Litt.D., Professor of History in Yale University, and President of the American His-
toricai Associatian.
