HAMILTON FISH.
By Asa Bird Gardiner, LI..D.,
Secretary-Genertl of the Society of the Cincinnati.
The decease, on September 7, 1893, of the Honorable Hamilton Fish,
LL.D., President-General of the Cincinnati, at his country seat, "Glen-
clyffe, " near Garrison's-on-the Hudson, N. Y., was a loss to the United
States of one of its most eminent citizens, whose labors in its service
had become historic.
The family of which he was a representative originally settled at Cape
Cod, Massachusetts, in 1637, from whence the branch to which he
belonged removed to Long Island.
His descent was as follows :
Jonathan Fish, who was born in England about 1610, came to
New England about 1635, in one of the many ships which then arrived,
and two years later settled at Sandwich, Barnstable County, Massa-
chusetts Bay Colony. From thence, in 1659, ^e removed to Newtown,
Long Island, in the Province of New York, but then under the Dutch.
The third child of Jonathan Fish' was Nathan Fish2 who was born in
Sandwich, December 18, 1650. The eldest son of the latter was Jona-
than Fish,3 whose eldest son was Samuel Fish^ of Newtown, whose
eldest son was Jonathan Fish,5 father of Nicholas Fish,6 who was the
second child.
Nicholas Fish was born in the city of New York, August 28, 1758,
and died there June 20, 1833, and was, at the breaking out of the
Revolution, a student at law in the office of the Honorable John Morin
Scott, who became Brigadier-General, and who, on June 2 [, 1776,
appointed him his Brigade-Major. Five months later, through the
influence of Brigadier-General Scott, Major Nicholas Fish was, when
but eighteen years old, appointed Major 2d Regiment New York Con-
tinental Infantry, which was then being re-organized "for the war,"'
over the heads of many experienced officers who had served with credit
under Montgomery at Chamble, St. John's, and Quebec, and under
Sullivan, Schuyler, and Washington. The wisdom of this selection was
attested by Major Fish's gallant services. By appointment of Washing-
ton he became a Division Inspector under Major-General Baron de
Steuben, and participated in the principal actions with the New York
Line. Major Fish served with reputation throughout the Revolution-
ary War, and was breveted Lieutenant-Colonel on September 30, 1783,
and honorably retired November 3, 1783. With Lafayette, William
2 Hamilton Fish. [Jan.,
Stevens Smith, and Alexander Hamilton, aides-de-camp to Washington,
William North, Ebenezer Stevens, and other enthusiastic and noble
young men, he formed one of a galaxy whom Washington delighted to
have at his table at headquarters at Newburgh in 1782-83. From April
13, 1784 to 1793, he was Adjutant-General of the State of New York,
and from 1797 to 1804, and again in 1805, was President of the New
York State Society of the Cincinnati. In 1794 he was appointed by
President Washington United States Supervisor of the Revenue, and from
1806 to 1 81 7 he was an Alderman of the city of New York. He married
Elizabeth Stuyvesant, a daughter of Peter Stuyvesant, Esq., who was a
lineal descendant and heir of the Honorable Peter Stuyvesant, the last
Dutch Governor, or Director-General, of Nieuw Netherlands.
Hamilton Fish was the eldest of five children by this marriage, and
was born in the city of New York, August 3, 1808. He received his
early education at private schools in his native city, and entered Columbia
College in 1823, and was graduated in 1827 in the same class with John
Player Crosby, and Professor William Henry Crosby of the New York
Cincinnati, Dr. John Clarkson, Henry Onderdonk, Jr., and Professor
Henry Augustus Du Bois, M.D., LL. D. Mr. Fish then read law in the
office of Peter Augustus Jay, Esq., and was admitted to the New York
bar in 1830.
The limits of this memoir will not admit of a detailed account of his
subsequent political career, which, whenever opportnnity afforded, always
redounded to the credit of his country. From March 4, 1843, ne served
one term as representative in the Twenty-eighth Congress, from the
Sixth Congressional District of his native city. On November 2, 1847,
he was elected Lieutenant-Governor of the State of New York, to fill a
vacancy; and in 1848 was elected Governor, and held that office one
term. On March 19, 185 1, he was elected a Senator of the United
States from his State, and at the close of his term, in 1857, went abroad
with his family for a considerable period. He was in Paris during the
regime of Napoleon III., when the court etiquette of the Bourbons was,
as far as practicable, observed, and was, by reason of his office in the
Order of the Cincinnati, received at a court ceremonial at Versailles with
special honors.
In April, 1861, he became prominent as a champion for the preserva-
tion of the Union, and was chairman of the Union Defense Committee,
1861-65, and frequently consulted by President Lincoln. On March 11,
1869, he was appointed United States Secretary of State in the administra-
tion of President Grant, and held that responsible office with great
advantage to his country for eight years. In the negotiation of the great
treaty of Washington with Great Britain for the arbitration of the Ala-
bama and Fisheries claims ; in the satisfactory settlement of the Virginius
case with Spain ; in the negotiation of an extradition treaty with Great
Britain, as well as in other less important diplomatic negotiations; in the
vigorous assertion of American dominance over Hawaii as against foreign
interference, and in the steadfast protection of American interests in
every quarter of the globe, he won an enduring reputation, and by his
labors potentially aided in placing the United States in the forefront of
the nations of the world. So tactful, quiet, but unremitting, were his
labors in the great Alabama claims matter, that his countrymen hardly
realized the obligations they were under to him for the successful and
1894.] Hamilton Fish. 1
satisfactory termination of an international question, which, sooner or
later, would have resulted in war. As years have gone by, his diplo-
matic foresight and acumen have been more and more realized and
appreciated, and it only remained for the very recent work (just pub-
lished) of Mr. J. C. Bancroft Davis, entitled "Mr. Fish and the Ala-
bama Claims : a Chapter in Diplomatic History," to show how much
the American people were indebted to this patriotic and able statesman
for the vindication of its rights under the Law of Nations.
In the office of Secretary of State, Hamilton Fish will rank with
Thomas Jefferson, John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, William L.
Marcy, and William H. Seward, whose services are enduringly written in
their country's history. Secretary Fish's diplomacy was, as has been
aptly said, not only successful in its immediate object, but has been
vindicated in its wisdom by lasting results of high utility ; and it must
have produced a grateful feeling in his honored old age to watch the
beneficent operation of the treaties he had dictated, and the international
relations he had established.
In 1840 he became a Trustee of Columbia College, and in 1859 was
chosen President of its Board of Trustees and continued in that capacity
until his decease. He received the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws
from his own Alma Mater in 1850 ; from Union College in 1869, and
from Harvard University in 1871. From 1867 until he became Secretary
of State, he was President of the New York Historical Society. He was
.also a Trustee of the Lenox Library and Astor Library, and a Trustee
of the " Peabody Educational Fund," and was for a time President of
the Union League Club. Inheriting an ample fortune, he was enabled
to fulfill the social duties incumbent on the position he occupied as a
leader of society, and the elegant hospitdity of his home in Washing-
ton, while head of the State Department, was a marked feature of the
social side of President Grant's administration.
The relations sustained by Secretary Fish to the Society of the Cincin-
nati were peculiarly interesting. On July 4, 1834, he was admitted an
hereditary member as the eldest son of Major and Brevet Lieutenant-
Colonel Nicholas Fish, deceased, and in 1844 was elected Treasurer of
the New York State Society of the Cincinnati, an office he continued to
hold until elected President of that State Society, July 4, 1855. Mean-
while, in 1848, he. became Vice-President-General of the Cincinnati, and
on May 17, 1854, he was chosen by the General Society to be President-
General, vice General Henry Alexander Scammel Dearborn, of Massa-
chusetts, deceased, and continued in that high office until his death, at
which time he was the senior hereditary member in date of admission.
Secretary Fish was the ninth President-General of the Cincinnati, his
predecessors having also all held office respectively until their decease.

a Hamilton Fish. [Jan.,
Of Vice-Presidents-General during this period of one hundred and ten
years, four were from Massachusetts, three from Pennsylvania, three from
New York, two from New Jersey, two from South Carolina, and one from
Virginia, Major-General Horatio Gates, LL. D. Major Popham was the
last of the Continental Line of the Revolution chosen President-General.
The peculiar and remarkable respect and uncommon attention and
affection which the Cincinnati had shown President-General Washington
was, to nearly as great a degree, bestowed on all his successors. Presi-
dent-General Fish had the unbounded regard of the members, which he
reciprocated, and in the closing years of his life he gave much thought
to the principles of the institution and the purposes of the founders.
When he became Vice-President-General, in 1848, but few of the ven-
erable and honored original members survived, and in 1854 the last of
them, Robert Burnet, passed away.
With the difficulty of communication before the era of railways, tele-
graphs, and frequent and cheap postal rates, and by reason of the absence,
at great distances, of properly qualified descendants of original members,
who were thereby debarred from acquiring hereditary membership, the
Society of the Cincinnati had gradually diminished in numbers until it
was perceived that it was liable to extinction at no distant day. Presi-
dent-General Dearborn, in a communication to the General Society
dated November 29, 1S4S, called attention to this fact, and suggested
the adoption of some such rule concerning admissions of members as had
been contained in a report made to the South Carolina State Society
on March 4, 1799, adding that, in his opinion, " unless such a measure
is adopted, this time-honored and glorious association will cease to exist
within less than a third of a century, or be so reduced in numbers as to
be unavailable for the purposes of its organization." The General
Society, on the same day, appointed a committee of which Mr. Fish was
a member, to consider "if it be not expedient and proper to suspend,
alter, or abrogate the limitation with regard to the admission of mem-
bers, "and to inquire and report what alterations are necessary and proper
on the subject. This committee brought in a report at the next trien-
nial meeting in May, 185 1, submitting, in amendment of the Institution,
an "ordinance relative to the succession and admission of members,"
making eligible all male descendants of officers of the Revolutionary
Army. . The ordinance, however, failed of ratification by the several
State societies, and consequently the Institution remained as originally
adopted in May, 1783. At the next triennial meeting of the General
Society, held in Baltimore in May, 1854, President-General Fish was
member of a committee which reported new resolutions on the subject
of admissions, giving to every State society "full right and power to
regulate the admission of members both as to the qualifications of the
members and the terms of admission," whereby more than one descend-
ant of an officer of the Continental Army or Navy could be admitted.
He voted for the resolutions and for a submission of them to the several
State societies, in order that, upon consent being given by each of the
State societies, the same should become operative, and each State society
be "at liberty to act urxm the power given thereby." This amendment
or alteration of the Institution also failed of ratification by the refusal in
one ir 'ance, and neglect in others, of several State societies to ratify the
resolve,,. Thereupon, at a special meeting of the General Society held
1 894 -] Hamilton Fish, -
in Trenton in May, 1856, so much of the resolutions of 185 1 as required
the consent of the several State societies in order to make them valid,
was rescinded. Neither the Rhode Island nor New York State societies
were represented at this meeting, nor was President-General Fish able to
leave his duties in the United States Senate to attend. For a limited
period the New York State Society, from 1857 to i860, enlarged its rules
of admission under this questionable action of the General Society, and
admitted for iheir own lives only several descendants of original members,
two of President-General Fish's own family being thus admitted to repre-
sent, with himself, his father.
The rapid extension of the railway system of the United States, and
increased facilities of communication, soon thereafter enabled proper
descendants to claim their hereditary membership. The apprehension of
extinction of the Society, which had induced these resolves, was thus dis-
sipated, and the necessity for any relaxation of the prescribed rules as to
admissions was obviated. The admission of more than one descendant
to represent the same propositus not having been found to be satisfactory
within the scope and intent of the Institution, President-General Fish
came to the conclusion, upon mature deliberation, that, as the necessity
for any relaxation of the strict rule had passed away, it ought henceforth
to be rigidly adhered to.
The rise and progress of the patriotic society of the ''Sons of the
Revolution," from their first meeting in the hall of the New York Histor-
ical Society, on December 18, 1875, f°r consultation and organization,
was viewed with lively interest and satisfaction by President-General Fish,
who was wont to term the members "younger brothers of the Cincinnati. "
Considering as he did the Society of the Cincinnati to be merely the
symbolism of certain great principles enunciated in their Institution, to be
perpetuated through the eldest male posterity of original members and
their associates, he perceived in the "Sons of the Revolution " a society
of descendants of Revolutionary patriots, who, in their laudable objects
and purposes, supplement the Society of the Cincinnati, and are destined
to carry on in a national way the work long performed, from 1783, by the
"Society of the Revolution" of South Carolina, in fraternal unison with
the Cincinnati.
At the last triennial meeting of the General Society of the Cincinnati,
held in Boston, Mass.. in May-June, 1893, President-General Fish, by
reason of infirmity of years, was unable to attend. Deeply solicitous in
its affairs, he corresponded constantly with the Secretary-General as to its
business and kept himself thoroughly informed. On June 9, 1893, he
addressed his "dear Brethren " of the General Society, and, after express-
ing his deepest regrets at being unable to be with them, earnestly wrote
as follows :
" I beg to commend especially to your calm and wise consideration,
the establishing of an uniform rule, to be observed by all the State
societies, as to the qualification of applicants for admission to the Society.
In this each State society is a Trustee of the interests and character of
each of its associate State societies, and I beg permission to commend to
vour decision the strictest possible adherence to the intent of our Institu-
tion, to confine admissions to the blood of those who instituted the Society
and of their associates in the War of the Revolution, in the right line of
descent."
6 Long Island {N. V.) Marriages and Deaths. [Jan.,
After referring to having been honored for thirty-nine years with the
President-Generalcy of the Society, he concludes as follows :
"With most profound gratitude for your long-continued favor and
for your generous indulgence, and with affectionate regards to each and
every of our members, my earnest prayer is that God may bless our
Society of the Cincinnati, eslo perpetua."
In compliance with his solemn injunction, the whole subject concern-
ing admission of members was referred to the Standing Executive Com-
mittee for report and recommendation at the next General Meeting.
Upon the occasion of his obsequies at St. Philip's Church in the
Highlands, on September n, 1893, a representation of the Society of the
Cincinnati attended, including a special delegation from the New York
State Society, and were accorded the position of principal mourners, next
after the immediate family. The several State societies have since adopted
appropriate resolutions, which, however, were not necessary, as the affec-
tionate respect and esteem always entertained by the Cincinnati for their
late honored and venerated President-General was well known.

GENEALOGY: ITS AIMS AND ITS UTILITY.
Read before tin' N. Y. Genealogical and- Biographical Society, December 8, 1893.
By Josiah Collins Pumpelly.
When the philosopher Zeno in the fifth century B.C. consulted the
oracles as to what manner he should live, the answer was, "Inquire of
the dead."
It was an ancient custom to seek in cemeteries for counsel to guide
the conduct, and for inspiration to invigorate the purpose.
"Whatever withdraws us," says the great Dr. Johnson, "from the
24 Genealogy : I/s Aims and Its Utility. [Jan.,
power of our senses, whatever makes the past, the distant, and the future
predominate over the present, advances us in the dignity of thinking
beings."
•'Human intelligence, " says one of the late honored presidents of
this society, "has never yet succeeded in improving upon the divine
model of the family relation," and it is this relation which furnishes both
the occasion and material, for Genealogy.
"Pulse-beats smile down the strongest tyrannies," says Charles
Martyn ; and it is the heroic spirit of the God-fearing Huguenot, of a
Huss, a Luther, a Calvin, and a Washington, which has transformed
societies, and which, unapproachable as the sun, has always, throughout
the centuries, through seas of blood, pressed on towards the just, the
beautiful, the true, thus raising more and more the head of the people
towards the right, and the head of the individual towards God.
'Hie first great movement for liberty of conscience and freedom, civil
and religious, was not, in France, an importation, for God had deposited
the first principles of the work in a few brave hearts of Picardy and Dau-
phiny before it had begun in any other country of the globe. It was the
voice of the Protestant Lefevre of Etaples, France, a man of great nobil-
ity of soul, which was to give the signal of the rising of this morning star
of liberty. He it was who taught Farel, the great reformer and master
builder with Luther.
There are many who regard genealogical records as dry and tedious,
and so, I confess, they may be made to be as prepared by some writers ;
but let us not forget that it is out of such details, found so often in musty
rolls and time-stained parchments, that history is made. This presenting
of items of family biography is by no means an idle, dilettante pursuit,
but the beginnings of living science, vital to the profoundest philosophy.
We pay honor to the dead when we thus show their relations to the
living.
Even a moral can be drawn from the Vision of the Prophet in the
valley which was full of bones of the dead. He sets it forth in a "bony
light" indeed. "There were very many in the open valley, and 1o,
they were very dry." It was apparently a most unpropitious field, yet it
proved to be one which it was well to cultivate. These dry bones were
found to be capable of living. There came a voice, and a shaking, and
the bones came together every bone to its fellow bone ; flesh and skin
came upon them ; breath entered into them, and they lived and stood
up. That is what we are attempting. Each of us has a regard for the
bones of his own family stock, and we shall soon find bone matching
bone. History is made in such ways. All history is but a connecting
together in their proper place of the achievements of individuals. His-
tory is the beginning of all science ; without it we are little better than
akin to the beasts that perish.
I am in full sympathy, too, with the glorious individuals who were
fust to establish their name. I would do them honor as constituting the
true order of nature's nobility. I cannot appreciate the feeling of Sir
Walter Scott when he exulted rather in obtaining the office of High Sheriff
of Lanark than in being the author of the works that rendered his name
immortal. When the dwarf bragged of having descended from a race of
giants, the Irishman was just in his comment, that it was "a divil of a
descent that he had made."
1894.] Genealogy: lis Aims and lis Utility. 2^
Of the class of evolutionists who would derive their ancestry from the
ape races, we may only question how far they descended below the moral
and mental attitude, of their progenitors, for very likely they were very
respectable monkeys. It would have been sad for the products of their
family tree to deteriorate. Nor are we saying much for those
" Whose noble blood
Crept through scoundrels since the flood."
We prefer by far the lineage set forth by the elder Alexandre Dumas
to the man who taunted him with having negro blood : '' My father was a
quadroon, my grandfather was a negro, my great-grandfather was an ape ;
my family line begins at the point where yours ends."
But to be well fathered and well mothered is of untold advantage.
Such are less liable to be handicapped in life, and are better able to
contend against its besetments. The descendant of a worthy ancestry is
enabled to honor his father and his mother, having his days long in the
land, and his reputation and achievements in keeping with the glorious
name of those who lived before him. We expect worthy acts from those
of better race. Always have men been of that conviction.
The historian Gibbon once remarked that " a lively desire of know-
ing and recording our ancestors so generally prevails, that it must depend
on the influence of some common principle in the minds of men." If
we look over ancient literature for the account of some famous man, we
find a careful record preserved of his ancestry. Herodotus, the Father of
History, is very particular to tell us of the lineage of every prince, every
chieftain and man of eminence. Except he had a pedigree, he was
regarded as of small account. We can trace the ancestry of Solon, Pei-
sislratus, Pericles, Plato, and others, to the time, when Grecian history
began.
Homer, when describing his more famous heroes, is diligent to recite
their parentage. They were cal'ed heroes, not, as we would suppose,
because of their exploits, but because their lineage was divine. In
Grecian story a hero was considered as half a god.
So, too, on the celebrated inscription at Behistan, Darius, the founder
of the Persian Empire, is careful to record his ancestry.
" I am the Great King, king of kings," the inscription reads. " From
ancient time our family have been kings. Eight of my line have been
kings before me; I am the ninth. We nine have been kings by lineal
descent."
Shall we not turn to the Bible itself? We find a persistent endeavor
to trace the lineage to remote antiquity. Witness the pains in the Book
of Chronicles to include families in the roll of honorable descent. "All
these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham, King of
Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, King of Israel."
No man could serve as priest except his genealogy was pure. "The
stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death," was the law. He was
further forbidden to profane his lineage by marrying a wife of equivocal
character cr parentage. When Jeroboam I. attempted to restore a local
worship among his subjects, the Israelites, it was imputed to him as a sin
that he made priests of the lowest of the people, as did the Samaritans
afterward. The " lowest of the people," it is almost needless to say, were
men who had no genealogical tree.
26 Genealogy : Its Aims and Its Utility. [Jan.,
Again, we are twice told that when the Jews returned with Zerubbabel
from the Captivity, of the priests, three family groups "sought their
register among, those that were reckoned by genealogy, ' but it was not
found, and therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.
Similar pains were bestowed in respect to the Hebrew kings. Heze-
kiah was carefully described as having David for his father, as though but
for his lineage he were unworthy to reign. To sit upon the throne of
David, he must be of the house of David. The Jews would not revere a
sovereign who had not a genealogy in their public records.
This was equally the case elsewhere, and that sentiment holds good
still.
I am aware that this age is largely utilitarian, and that the many
are little disposed to prize anything which has not immediate mate-
rial advantage. I have often wondered that such individuals did not
hesitate at such a waste of time and money as to put away the bodies of
their dead, when it was so easy to utilize them, and so absurd to waste
sentiment on them. I have little regard for the self-made men who so
constantly worship the self that they consider made them. It was a piti-
ful creature that they made.
Nevertheless, I believe that it is proper that I attempt to set forth the
use of genealogical study. It is the science of all civilization, all culture,
all history, all that makes life worth living. It teaches us our kinship to
the human race, our duty to one another, our interest in the welfare of
all mankind, our share in each other's joys and each other's griefs, how to
be useful and thereby good.
Even the story of poverty, suffering, and crime is vitally intertwined
with the problems of genealogy. We may not seek to evade our account-
ability by disclaiming that we are not our brother's keeper. We owe to
every human being to afford to him an opportunity to obtain, so far as may
be in our power, the fullest means of happiness and usefulness.' The crim-
inal classes, the criminals themselves, are often the result of our culpable
disregard of our fraternal relationship to them, rather than simply of the
inspiration of their inherent depravity. They are permitted to be engen-
dered and born into conditions that make crime the breath of their life,
if not the necessity of their existence: The sons and daughters of crimi-
nal parents are more naturally inclined to crime than these parents them-
selves. We may not arrest their birth or prevent their propagation, but
we owe it to them to do all in our power to purify the fountains of parent-
age, so that only a pure and worthy offspring shall be the result. The
aim of penal legislation should be reformation ; vengeance lor crime is but
brutal savagery. We should aim to have better parents and better oppor-
tunities, and then we may hope, as we now cannot, for generations pure,
healthful, and virtuous. In this way the slums will be abolished and
homes established in their place.
Genealogy is more than a mere array of skeletons, the dry details of
parents and offspring, but a bringing into view of the relations and inter-
ests which these details show to be clearly and vitally allied. We learn
from the study why nations exist, why they are in alliance or hostility,
why particular institutions are established and maintained, why the arts
are cultivated which embellish our social life and bind us more firmly
together. It shows us concerning religion, which is man's supreme effort
to attain the good, that it has existed from the farthest antiquity, from a
1 89 4. J Genealogy : Its Aims and Its Utility.

worship at a common family hearth, by virtue of which all who partici-
pated were sharers in a common fraternal life and belonged in the same
divine care. We get some clew to the reason why Socrates preferred to
drink the hemlock and die at once, to making his escape from the prison
to live the life of an exile in another country. The first worships embraced
the ancestors in their scope, and bound families and peoples together by
a sacred tie, to rupture which was to become outcast, out of law, civilly
dead, " cut off from the people." He could say with Romeo:
" Hence banished is banished the world,
And world's exile is death."
' It is a hopeful fact in the history of our country that a greater enthu-
siasm has sprung up for genealogical study. The societies of Sons and
Daughters of the American Revolution, Colonial Dames, and Societies of
Colonial Wars, are creating emulation among those whose ancestry first
subdued the soil, established towns and churches, and finally made of
their colonies a country and a nation. Our various Genealogical and
Historical Societies are encouraging the same sentiment. Let the wolf
of the forest forget its young and ignore its ancestry: man, being in the
image of his Divine Parent, duly regards both. He is thus a neighbor
and a citizen, not an outlaw or Ishmaelite.
We learn therefore to revere one another. Our neighbor is also our
brother or our sister, "bone of our bone, and flesh of our flesh." Our
relations are intimate, and not antagonistic. The welfare of one is the
welfare of all. As the foot and the hand in the human body are dependent
upon each other and have a common life, so the capitalist and employer
in social life are fellow-dependents with the laborer and employed. If
either suffers, the other is inevitably certain to experience calamity. It is
not from the mere strikes and street conflicts that the danger comes, but
from the hopeless despair and fraternal hate of those who have no home,
no civil rights, no country.
And when such as these, defective and delinquent, come under the ban
of our laws, we must not forget that in the new penology the old princi-
ple of punishment must give place in part to the better and truer methods
of reformation ; the "criminal must be studied instead of studying the
criminal act, for there are two factors in crime— psycho-physical organi-
zation, and external circumstances or environment." And here comes in
that most important aid and factor, genealogy. But a few days since, as
one of a committee appointed in our Charities Aid work to examine the
latest of prison reformatory methods, I was shown at the Reformatory at
Concord, Mass., the collection of large volumes in which are written bio-
graphical records of over 4,000 prisoners. Here were inquiries covering
the complete ancestral history for one or two generations of criminals,
evidences of degeneration and disease, mental endowments and condi-
tions, degree of moral sense and general sensitiveness; every record being
made by the superintendent in person. Impressions aie received and
information obtained, which, as the sentences are indeterminate, suggest
the best course of treatment, spiritually, mentally, and physically, and thus
the prisoner goes into that training reformative and regenerative, and not
alone punitive, which in so many thousands of cases has, in God's provi-
dence, not only recovered our enemy the criminal to a respectable, self-
supporting place in society again, but has, by a renovating physical, edu-

cational, and technological regime, superinduced in his consciousness the
dawning idea of a Creator who is the common Father of us all, and with
this an uplifting sense of brotherhood and universal kinship.
Such is the course being now pursued in seventeen different reforma-
tories in our country, and without the aid of the science of genealogy it
may well be said that none of the beneficial results which we now see
could possibly have been attained.
I had somewhat more to say as to details in regard to records of
heredity, but space forbids. And now, in conclusion, permit me to urge
upon the reader's attention the serious advantages of every one's preserv-
ing, with thoughtful care, every record connected with your family his-
tory ; a history which grows more valuable each hour. There is always
some one about the home fireside who, if encouraged and aided, will make
this his or her study, and often too it is one who, by unselfish devotion to
study rather than to baiter and gain, has been left with but a small portion
of this world's goods. Let that one, my rich and busy friend, be your
treasured and helpful historian.
Do not forget that, as each one of us can bear witness, it is the dear
old family Bible we learned first to know at a loving mother's knee, that
contains the family records ; and surely we should hold as sacred, not
only its priceless teachings, but also those short but touching family his-
tories, often tear-stained, which have been there written by a brave father
or a sainted mother. God grant that now, in this day of great machines,
combines, and greed of gold, our people may learn anew how to truly
revere a noble lineage and a Bible-loving parentage. Remember
" The honors of a name 'tis just to guard ;
They are" a trust bat lent us, which we take,
And should, in reverence to the donor's fame,
With care transmit them down to other hands.
How vain are all hereditary honors,
These poor possessions from another's deeds.
Unless our own just virtues form our title
And give a sanction to our fond assumption."
DOMINIE LAURENTIUS VAN GAASBEEK
AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
By Cornelius H. Van Gaasbeek, Jr.
Among the first of the Dutch clergy, educated in the universities of
Holland, and sent to this country by the Classis of Amsterdam, was
Dominie Laurentius Van Gaasbeek. From entries made in his family
Bible, extracts from which are still preserved in other family Bibles, it is
learned that he was the son of Goevert Van Gaasbeek and Jacomyntje
, presumably residents of Leyden, Holland. From the same record
it is learned that his parents had three children, if not more, viz. :
Dominie Laurentius Van Gaasbeek,
Cornelius Van Gaasbeek,
Cornelia Van Gaasbeek.

1. Dominie Liurentius1 ; born in Holland, died at New York City
February, 1680. The first of the family to arrive in America, and pro-
genitor of all who bear his name in this country. From his diploma,
received from the University of Leyden, it appears that he was graduated
from that university with honors May 25, 1674, receiving the degree of
M.D.* On the 28th of May, 1673, 'ie was married in the High Dutch
Church at Leyden, by Dominie Johannes Muller, to Laurentia Van de
Kellenaar (died May 3, 1703), sister of Sarah Van de Kellenaar, who
married Dominie Johannes Weeckstein, the third pastor of the Dutch
Church at Kingston, N. Y. After having been without a regular pastor
for about ten years, the Dutch Church at Kingston entered into the
following agreement.
"We, ihe underwritten members of the three congregations having
agreed on the salary of the preacher, bind ourselves to support the
minister for eight years. Hurley shall pay 100 schepels of wheat, Marble-
town 160 schepels of wheat, and Kingston 400 schepels of wheat, and in
case they will call a minister alone, information shall be given to the
other towns one year prior, to provide for themselves, if not, this remains
in full force. In acknowledgment to, and to have this observed and un-
broken, they have hereto written their own names this 26th of September
1677."

His Royal Highness James Duke of York, over all his Territories in

Coincident with the preceding, the Consistory made out a call or
request to the Classis of Amsterdam for a pastor to be sent out to them
by that body. The original call in the Dutch language, with the signa-
tures of the Consistory, was brought back to this country by Dominie
Van Gaasbeek, as part of his credentials, and is still preserved. A trans-
lation follows : *
"To the Honorable and Most Worthy Classis at Amsterdam.
Honorable Sirs :
Whereas, in the Esopus district, under the jurisdiction of New York,
there are three villages at present without a teacher or official preacher ;
we have conjointly raised six hundred schepels of wheat to be applied to
the support of a preacher in behalf of the three aforesaid villages which
with regard to assistance are placed too far away from' another. There-
fore.we feel constrained to bring before your honorable body our need of
your assistance (in your ^official capacity) in finding a preacher for us,
willing to come here for living wages. A man of high trust and sound
doctrine may enjoy the term of his»wages for years, while we bind our-
selves to pay him upon the arrival of his journey here. Moreover the
preacher shall have his dwelling and firewood free. Meanwhile are we
anxiously looking for the coming of a well qualified teacher. We also
remain until further your humble brethren and servants in Christ Jesus,

In response to this call, Dominie Van Gaasbeek, duly accredited by
the Classis of Amsterdam, sailed for New Amsterdam on the' 13th of
May, 1678, arriving there August 21 of that year. He departed for the
town of Kingston in Ulster County, where he arrived with his family on
the 8th of September, 1678, and delivered his first sermon on the 15th of

the same month. In consequence of the protracted vacancy in the pas-
torate, the church had become somewhat weakened and scattered.
Dominie Van Gaasbeek at once set to work with vigor to recover some
of the ground lost in the previous eleven years. He was zealous in the
work of the church and faithful in the discharge of his duties. A blessing
attended his efforts, so that in one year the membership increased to one
hundred and eighty. D.uring his pastorate a new and substantial stone
church, forty-five by sixty feet, was erected on the northeast corner of
Wall and Main Streets. It was built in true Holland style, with highly
colored, painted window glass bearing the coat-of-arms of William, Prince
of Orange. The new edifice was completed and dedicated about January
i, 1680. Dominie Van Gaasbeek did not live long to enjoy and preach
in the new and commodious church, as his career was cut short by death,
February, 1680. He was taken sick with a fever, and for medicak treat-
ment went to New York where he died. His unexpected 'death filled the
minds of the people with sadness, and cast a gloom over the prospects of
the young church, which had flourished so much under his fostering care.
Dominie Van Gaasbeek was a man of culture and refinement, having
been educated both as a physician and clergyman, and was familiarly
called the "Dominie Doctor." He was a member of the first ecclesias-
tical body of the Dutch Church in America. In the year 1679 Governor
Andros authorized and directed the Dutch clergy to form a Classis and
ordain Peter Tesschemaeker, then a candidate for the ministry. Accord-
ingly Dominies Van Nieuwenhuysen, Schaats, Van Gaasbeek, and Van
Zuuren formed a Classis and examined and ordained Tesschemaeker to
the ministry. The proceedings of this Classis, convened at the call of an
Episcopal Governor, were afterwards confirmed by the Classis of Amster-
dam. The widow of Dominie Van Gaasbeek, Laurentia Kellenaar,
married (1681) her second husband, Major Thomas Chambers, Lord of
the Manor of Foxhall, who departed this life April 8, 1694, leaving his
property to the children of the Dominie, and devising his Manor to the
Dominie's only son upon the condition of his assuming the surname of
Chambers. Laurentia Kellenaar married September 26, 1695, her third
husband, Wessel Ten Broeck, Sr., a sketch of whom will be found in the
Record, Vol. XIX., page 69 (April, iSSS).

his children were baptized with the exception of one), holding the posi-
tion of trustee of Kingston from 1698 to 1701. He afterwards removed
to the old village of Catskill, where he erected a house, and he and his
family became identified with the interests of that place. (Family 3.)

ard was son of Samuel Bayard and Anna Stuyvesant, the tatter a sister of
Gov. Peter Stuyvesant, in whose company she came to New Amsterdam
in 1647. She was a widow, and faced the dangers and hardships of a new
country for the. opportunities it offered to her three sons, who came with
her, viz., Nicholas Bayard, Mayor of New York City 1685, Peter Bayard,
and Balthazar Bayard. These men all hecame wealthy and influential.
Blandina Kiersted was daughter of Dr. Mans Kiersted and Sarah Roeioftse
Janse (m., Dutch Church, N. Y., June 29, 1642). The latter was a
daughter of Roeloff Jansen and Annetje Webber, more familiarly known
to her descendants as " Anneke Jans." Abraham was an infant when his
father died. His mother, I.aurentia Kellenaar, married, 168 1, Major
Thomas Chambers, Lord of the Manor of Foxhall, and at once took up
her residence at the mansion house of the Manor. No children blessed
this marriage. Thomas Chambers, disappointed in the hope of having
children of his own, took great interest in the three young children of his
wife. Abraham, the son, became his especial favorite, being fifteen years
old when his stepfather died, April 8, 1694. Abraham knew no other
father than Thomas Chambers, and the latter esteemed the boy as if he
were his own. By his last will, dated April 5, 1694, after providing for
the two daughters of his wife, he leaves his entire Lordship and Manor
and other estate to Abraham, upon the condition of his assuming the sur-
name of Chambers. In his will he provides that Abraham "is to be
brought up and taught so farr as possible untill he come to age." The
estate was left in possession of the widow until Abraham should be of age,
which was in December, 1700, when Abraham Gaasbeek Chambers became
Lord of the Manor of Foxhall, vested with all its privileges and estates,
becoming the richest and one of the most influential men in the
Esopus.

enen) (m. April 25, 1667). Thomas was the eldest and probably the
most esteemed son, and heir apparent to the Manor of Foxhall. In
1750 his father deeded to him large portions of the Manor. One deed,
bearing date of December 3, 1750, is in consideration of two thousand
pounds. Another, dated April 3, 1752, is in consideration "of the
natural love and affection, and for the advancement of the said Thomas."
In 1738 Thomas was cornet in the company of troopers under command
of Capt. John Ten Broeck. He died 1752, and was buried in the Fox-
hall family vault at the Strand (Rondout), which stood where the pres-.
ent residence cf Jansen Hasbrouck now stands. (Family 6.)

House," and it was during his ownership and occupancy of it, that the
first Senate of the State of New York held its sessions therein. He was
one of the trustees of Kingston, 1774, who founded the Kingston Acad-
emy in that year. (Family 9.)

The twenty-fifth anniversary of the formation of the society will occur February
27, 1894, and it has been decided to celebrate the event in an appropriate manner.
A committee has been appointed for that purpose, consisting of the following gentle-
men : Theophylact 15. Bleecker, Samuel Burhans, Jr., Thomas C. Cornell, S. Victor
Constant, Henry T. Drowne, Dr. Ellsworth Eliot, James J. Goodwin, Gen. George
S. Greene, Richard H. Greene, Dr. William F. Holcombe, Rufus King, Charles L.
Lamberton, Herbert D. Lloyd, J. Pierpont Morgan, Howland Pell, John V. L.
Pruyn, Josiah C. Pumpelly, Dr. Samuel S. Purple, Frederick D. Thompson, Cornel-
ius Vanderbilt, A. V. W. Van Vechten, and T. A. Wright, and the President,
Secretary, and Treasurer of the society, ex-officio. This committee organized by the
appointment of Dr. S. S. Purple as chairman and Richard H. Greene as secretary,
and decided to give a reception on the afternoon of the anniversary day, and to hold
a meeting in the evening at which addresses on subjects connected with the Society's
work should be delivered. Much interest has been manifested in the proposed cele-
bration, and it is hoped and believed that it will greatly advance the welfare of the
Society.
OBITUARIES.
BUTTRE. — John Chester Buttre was born in Auburn, N. V., June 10, 1821, and
died at Ridgewood, N. J., December 2, J893. He was the son of William Puttie,
b. in Perthshire, Scotland, August 9, 17S2, d. in New York City, October 2. 1864;
and Mary Ann (Lathrop) Buttre, b. in Fairfield, Herkimer County, N. Y., April 2,
1S00, d. in Ridgewood, N. J., May 7, 1882.
Mr. Buttre was one of the oldest and most widely known of the publishers,
engravers, and plate-printers in America. He commenced business in Auburn in
1S3S, and removed to New York in 1841, being of late years at 32 Cortlandt Street.
He published The American Portrait Gallery, of which there have been several
editions issued, and his daughter, Lillian C. Buttre, assisted him in the work. The
biographical sketches are cleverly told, and therefore possess an abiding interest.
He was a general engraver and plate-printer, and for many years has made a spe-
cialty of engraving fine portraits on steel, several being for members of this Society.
The old Diploma plate, engraved on copper by J. J. Le Veau, of Paris (France),
for the Society of the Cincinnati in the last century, was found to be very badly
corroded, in May, 1888, and Mr. Buttre, from motives of patriotis-m, devoted many
clays to its restoration, thereby meriting the thanks of the General Society of the
Cincinnati at its Triennial Meeting in 1890.
Mr. Buttre was a coi responding member of the New York Genealogical and
Biographical Society, and also a corresponding member of the Rhode Island Histor-
ical Society. 11. t. d.

NOTES AND QUERIES.
Eliot. — The early years of John Eliot, " Apostle to the Indians," were passed in
Widford, County of Hertford ; in Nazeing, County of Essex , at Little Baddow in
the same county; and at Jesus College, Cambridge University.
In the Parish Register of the Church of St. John Baptist at Widford, his baptism
is thus recorded : "John Elliott the sonne of Bennett Elliott was baptized the fyfte
daye of Augusle in the yeare of o* Lord God, 1604."
The baptism of his sister Sarah in 1599, his brother Phillip in 1602, and his brother
Jacob in 1606 are also recorded in this Parish Register.
Among the marriages is this : Bennett Eliot and Letteye Aggar were married the
30th of October, 1598.
Subsequent to 1606 and prior to 1610 the family doubtless removed to Nazeing,
as in the Parish Register of the Church of All Saints in that Parish are recorded the
baptisms of Lydia in 1610, of Francis in 1615, and of Mary in 1620. The Register
also shows that in the churchyard there are the graves, unmarked and unknown, of
Letteye Eliot, who died in 1620, and Bennet Eliot, who died in 1621 — the fatherand
mother of the " Apostle."
In the library of Jesus College, Cambridge University, is a copy of the Indian
Bible presented by John Eliot, as his inscription on the fly-sheet shows. This price-
less volume has been but recently discovered.
Widford is about twenty-five miles north from London, and four and one-half
miles east from Ware. It contains about 500 inhabitants, and probably presents
about the same appearance as when John Eliot was born there. The Church of St.
John Baptist is an ancient structure, built no one can tell when and how. Parts of
it are probably about 8oo years old, dating from the days of the Normans. Venerable
in appearance, it looks as if it had stood for ages and would continue for centuries
undilapidated. The tower, built at a later date than the main building, but still
not far from 500 years old, contains a peal of six bells of exceptional sweetness and
purity. Some of them are of great antiquity.
Through the kindness of the Rector, the Rev. John Traviss Lockwood, arrange-
ments have been made to erect a stained-glass window to John Eliot's memory. Mr.
Lockwood has kindly consented that the ehancel window, the most desirable one in
the church, may be used for this purpose. Messrs. Burlinson & Grylls, 23 Newman
Street, London, are preparing a design, a copy of which will soon be received. It
will be an appropriate and beautiful memorial. The Rector of the church is thoroughly
acquainted with this kind of work, and will give it his unremitting attention. The
inscription will be : To the Glory of God and in Pious Remembrance of John Eliot,
A.B., Cantab., called "The Apostle to the Indians," who was Baptized in this
Church, August 5, 1604; Emigrated to New England A.D., 1631 ; and Died in Rox-
bury, Massachusetts, May 21, 1690. This window was erected by his descendants.
A.D. 1S93 (or [894). " The Righteous shall be in Everlasting Remembrance.'"
The cost will be about $ 1,000. Contributions of $1 and upwards from every one
who claims descent from John Eliot, and from those who have married descendants,
are solicited, and if sent to the undersigned, 48 West 36th Street, N. V., will be
promptly acknowledged.

The Letter Y in the Holland Language. — I doubt that Mr. Banta is
precise in saying that the letter Y occurs in proper names. Leiden has ti, and Leiden
is a proper name. Perhaps it would be exactly correct to say that y occurs in some
family names. Such names have arbitrary spelling, and it is customary for other
persons to follow the usage of the family which bears the name. I do not see why
Van Speik, with ei, is not the correct form, unless it be a family name, of a family
which persisls in the use of ey. According to Sewell, the ei or ey would have the
sound of the English word " eye." (See " Notes and Queries " in Record for Octo-

BOOK NOTICED
The German Allied Troops in the North American War oe Independ-
ence, 1 77<>-i 783. Translated and abridged from the German of Max Von Eelking
by J. G. Rosengarten. Joel Munsell's Sons, Albany, N. V., 1893. Sq. 8vo, boards.
More than a century after the close of the War of Independence, the learned
translator has laid before the English reading public Van Eelking's work, written
1894-] Book Notices. ac
thirty years ago, in which (he author seeks to reverse the verdict of history and the
judgment of mankind, and to prove that tardy history had not done justice to these
troops ; and " to protect and restore the good name and credit of the German
soldiers, ruthlessly attacked on all sides for their share in the American Revolu-
tionary War." His effort on behalf of his countrymen engaged in that momentous
straggle is as patriotic as it is difficult, as the very name of Hessian has become the
synonym of all that is sordid and mercenary. To make out his case and to establish
that these German troops, recruited from a number of the small principalities, but
usually known and designated as Hessians for the reason that the largest lines came
from I Iesse-Cassel, were not mere 'hireling-," and that they marched willingly as
volunteers and under orders, the author has been diligent in his researches and has
drawn largely on contemporary journals, letters, reports, and newspapers to supply
the absence of the official archives closed to the historical student. He has thus
added much to the material of history and thrown an interesting side light on events
of great moment in the history of the world.
That they were only volunteers in a cause rightful to them, the pages of the book
do not sustain. We are told of the large and ever-increasing bounties paid in gold
and offers of land. Some came with intent to remain and settle in a new and fruitful
land, and others, as their subsequent acts show, to prey upon and plunder the people
and country they hoped to subjugate, and to divide among themselves the rich spoils
of war. Musketeer Dohla (pp. 190-191) says of the plunder of Hackensack : " We
gathered fine plunder, gold and silver watches, silver forks and spoons, furniture,
good clothes, fine English linen, silk stockings, gloves, and carats, with other silk,
woolen and cotton clothing." He inventories his ''own booty," among which are
" two silver watches, three necklackes of silver, four woman's shirts, one silver table-
spoon, one silver teaspoon, five Spanish dollars, and six York shillings."
How willingly they went as volunteers is seen (pp. 101-102), when the Bayreuth
regiment, 600 strong, on the river Main, broke out in open revolt and refused to
march until, " after sharp firing," " the Grenadier Company charged on the scattered
men " and brought them back "with a loss of 40 men in the Bayreuth regiment."
After this kind of persuasion the men went forward willingly.
No doubt they went under orders, as the rulers of these little principalities had
made hard bargains with the English government to replenish their exhausted ex-
chequers. The dead as well as the living were to be paid for, and " three wounded
men were to count as one dead man." It is estimated the cost to the English Gov-
ernment was ^850,000 for these soldiers annually, and the subsidies were to continue
for two years after the close of the war. It is estimated 27,166 of these troops
were sent to America, of which number 11,853 were lost.
Interesting matter is given relating to the battle of Trenton. Rail appears to be
made the scapegoat. He is charged with being inefficient and careiess ami with
carousing the night before the battle. His fault appears to have been in underesti-
mating the rebels. He " hoped Washington himself would come over (the Delaware)
that he might make him prisoner." Gen. Washington treated his prisoners kindly
and wanted the German officers to dine with him. One of them in his diary thus
describes the Commander-in-Chief : " His countenance is not that of a great hero,
hi* eyes have no fire, but a friendly smile, when he speaks, inspires love and affec-
tion. He is a courtly man of fine aspect, polished and somewhat restrained ; says
little, has a shrewd look, is of middle height and a good figure " (p. 70'.
We regret the translator has not given us the book in its entirety, thus avoiding
some confusion in dates and presenting a more complete picture of events. The book
is printed on good paper and in large, clear type, making it very satisfactory and
pleasant to the reader. C. L. L.
The Moulton Family : Some Descendants of John Moulton and William
Moulton, <>t" Hampton, N. H., 1592-1892. Compiled by Augustus E. Moulton.
Sq. 8vo, cloth, pp. 99.
The Moulton family (the name being variously spelled Mullon, Muleton, Molton,
Moleton, Moulson, and Moulton) is of English origin, the earliest member of it of
whom any mention is made being "Thomas Multon, or He Multon, stated in the
Domesday Book to have been put in possession of an estate called Galeshore." Seven
of the name are found among the earliest settlers of this country, one, Thomas, being
of Jamestown, Va. , and the others of Massachusetts, namely, Robert and lames, of
Salem ; Thomas, of Charlestown ; and Thomas, John, and William, of Newbury.

The three latter removed to Hampton, N. IT., where John and William remained,
Thomas subsequently settling in York, Me. The compiler — himself a descendant of
William — traces down for seven or eight generations the descendants of John and
William, who are supposed to have been brothers. The book is neatly printed and
bound, and contains a portrait of the compiler. It loses much of its value, however,
by not having an index of the names of those who intermarried with the Moultons.

The title which appears above is properly comprehensive. Genealogies should
be indicated, first, by the lettering on the back of the volume. Here it is simply
"Cole Genealogies, Frank T. Cole," which is enough to let the searcher know if he
is interested in the contents, and that it is not Dr. David Cole's book on the Kool,
Cool, or Cole family. And, second (as genealogies are not made for continuous read-
ing), by the index, which is the important feature — the more full and accurate the
belter ; and, as in this volume, the surname should be divided up under the Christian
names, and so prevent the searcher being detained to look at a dozen where there
may be but one who bears the name he seeks. It is more work, as any one knows
who has done any indexing, but one works not only for all but for all time, and the
saving of time in the end is immense. r. h. G.
Journal of Colonel George Washington, Commanding a Detachment

With an Appendix. Edited, with notes, by J. M. Toner, M.D. Albany, N. V. :
Joel Munsell's Sons. 1893. Sq. Svo., boards* pp. 273.
Of making books about Washington there seems to be no end, but much reading
of them is never a weariness to the flesh. The volume before us is no exception to
this rule. The Journal which is here given has a singular history. Kept by Wash-
ington in the spring and early summer of 1754, on n's march from Alexandria to the
Ohio, it fell into the hands of the French, probably at the battle of the ('.rand
Meadows in that year. A French translation of it was published in Paris in 1756.
and this version is a retranslation from the French into English. Of the whereabouts
of the original, nothing is now known. While it is exceedingly interesting, we ques-
tion its value historically, as the French version was undoubtedly much garbled. The
histoiical and biographical notes by the editor are full and very valuable. T. G. E.
A Genealogical Record of Mathew Pratt of Weymouth, Massachu-

Boston, Mass., 1890.
The author of this particularly well-printed octavo volume, who is a member of
the New England Historic Genealogical Society, has performed his labor of love in a
highly creditable manner. To prepare a family history covering a peri d of two
hundred and sixty-six years and to do it thoroughly, as Mr. Pratt has done, is no
slight labor. He was greatly aided in his work by Judge Granville Pratt, who
devoted his leisure hours for many years to the preparation of a family genealogy,
and who, on learning that the present volume was in progress with prospect of an
early publication, generously contributed the result of his own labors to the common
fund of family history. We may add that much valuable information relating to
the Pratt families of England may be found in Chapman's Genealogy of the Pratls of
Connecticut, who were descendants of William Pratt of Saybrook. w.

War of the Rebellion, General Joseph E.Johnston ; and one of the strongest char-
acters on the side of the Union in the same war, General George II. Thomas. Each
of these men was cast in a large mould, and each has in his life and career some-
thing worthy of emulation. The volumes are well printed, tastefully bound, and
of a convenient size, and each contains a portrait and several maps. T. G. E.

We do not often receive genealogical publications from the extreme South, but
New England stock takes pride in its ancestry which distance does not quench. The
author quotes from "The Rambler'': '' He that wishes to be counted among the
benefactors of posterity must add by his own toil to the acquisitions of his ancestry."
These words deserve to be engraved and remembered. The day has gone by when
self-respecting men may boast ignorance of those who bore their blood. Knowledge
of the past should inspire the desire to keep up the standard and, if possible, raise it.
Ignorance of the past marks one as unworthy to be remembered in the future.

History of the Town of Rochester, New Hampshire, from 1722 to 1S90.
By Franklin McDuffie, A.M. Edited and revised by Sylvanus Hayward. 2 vols.,
8vo, Manchester, 1892.
Nearly thirty years ago Mr. McDuffie began a series of valuable historical sketches
that appeared during subsequent years in the columns of the Rochester Courier. His
untimely death left the work unfortunately incomplete, and his father, thinking a
history of Rochester would be a more enduring monument for his son than marble or
granite, induced Mr. Hayward to take up the unfinished work. This he has done
with good judgment, producing two octavo volumes which are handsomely illustrated
with numerous steel portraits, photographic views, maps, and fac-similes of ancient
documents. A carefully prepared and exhaustive index, extending to sixty pages,
enhances the value of this excellent historical work. w.

There is no need of saying in regard to the work of so careful a historian, that it is

These reprints are creditable as far as they go, being probably preliminary to
complete volumes, which will doubtless have indexes. The derivation of the names
Doolittle and Lee, as given by the author, is interesting. The former, it is thought,
may have been a nickname, but some find it in the Huguenot French De L'Hotel.
The names Lee, Lea, Leigh, Lye, Leya, Lyra, Leighe, Lyhe, and Lygh, are said to
be derived from the Saxon Lay or Leah, meaning " the pasture or place."

This handsome octavo volume contains brief sketches of about one hundred of

arranged. Among the latter we observe instances of several names introduced of
deceased persons, and many omitted who should have been mentioned. These.
however, will doubtless be corrected in future editions, as this useful compilation will
be welcomed by many club men and others. We cannot too highly commend its

This volume contains brief genealogies of three New England families in the
ancestral lines of the compiler. While it does not give evidence of much research,
it has material which will be of value to the future historian of these families. The
mechanical execution of the book is good and reflects credit upon the publisher.

DESCENT OF MAJOR-GENERAL GERSHOM MOTT, OF
NEW JERSEY.
By his Daughter, Miss Kate A. Mott.
Major-General Gershom Mott of New Jersey traced his descent
from the immigrant from Essex, England, the first Adam Mott* of Hemp-
stead, L. I., through Adam's son Gershom, who was born in Hempstead
in 1663.
The name Mott, or De la Motte, is French, and not uncommon. De
la Motte Fenelon was the great Archbishop of Cambrai. It is not, how-
ever, proposed here to attempt to trace the European ancestry of the
immigrant Adam Mott. But it may be noted that the Mott family had
been prominent in the county of Essex, England, for several centuries,
and doubtless came originally from France, perhaps with William the
Conqueror. After a time the French prefix had been usually abandoned,
although De Motte or De la Motte is still retained in some families both
in this country and in England. The Motts of Essex, England, owned
many manors, and the main line can be traced for five hundred years.
The crest of the Essex Motts is a star with eight points on a crown, and
a Latin motto which in English reads : " Speed, strength, truth, "f The
Motts of Essex overflowed into adjoining counties, and an earlier Adam
Mott came from the adjacent county of Cambridge to Boston, then very
recently founded, several years before the Adam Mott of Essex was in
New Amsterdam.
According to the records of the Dutch Church of New Amsterdam,
Adam Mott of Essex, England, was married in New Amsterdam on the
28th July, 1647, to Jane Hulet of Buckingham, England. The record
shows that neither had been previously married. About a year before
this date, on the 23d April, 1646, the Dutch Government of New Nether-
lands granted to Adam Mott twenty-five morgans of land on Mespath Kill
(Newtown Creek). The Albany records (iv., pages 187-89-90) also
mention Adam Mott as witness in the court in New Amsterdam on the
23d October, 1645, and even earlier than this, on the 6th June and 10th
*For convenience of the reader in tracing the line of descent, the names of the
lineal ancestors of General Gershom Mutt are printed in capitals. The generations
are numbered in the usual way : the immigrant Adam Mott.1 his son Gershom,'*' and
so on.

ro Major-General Gershom Mott, of New Jersey. [April,
May, 1644. He apparently remained in New Amsterdam for several
years, for according to the same church records his infant son Adam was
baptized on the 14th November, 1649, tne sponsors being Thomas Hall,
Oloff Stevenson Van Cortlandt, and Elsie Miiytiens (Alice Newton, wife
of Captain Bryan Newton). These were among the most respectable
people of the infant city, then numbering perhaps one thousand souls.
James, the second son of Adam, was baptized on the 15th October, 1651,
the sponsors being Rebecca Cornell, who subsequently married George
Wolsey ; Bryan Newton, and Carel Ver Brugge (Charles Bridges), who
married Sarah Cornell, sister of Rebecca and widow of Thomas Willett,
and mother of Colonel Thomas Willett, of Flushing.*
It has been sometimes assumed that this Adam Mott, of New
Amsterdam in 1644-52, was the son of the earlier Adam Mott who
came to Boston from Cambridge, England, in 1635, in the ship Defence,
with his family, including a son Adam, then twelve years old. This
Adam Mott of Cambridge, who was in Boston in 1635, moved to Hing-
ham about 1636, and subsequently to Portsmouth, R. I.; and his son
Adam, who married Mary Lott, may be traced in Portsmouth until his
death, about 1673,1 and must not be confounded with the Adam Mott
of Hempstead who married Jane Hulet in New Amsterdam in 1647.
Soon after the birth of his second son, James, Adam Mott appears to
have moved from New Amsterdam toward Hempstead on Long Island.
The first entry on the first page of Book A of the Hempstead Records,
March 17, 1657, certifies that Adam Mott was chosen one of the towns-
men for that year. His descendants, as well as the Hulets or Hewletts,
have been prominent in Hempstead and the neighboring towns down to
the present day, nearly two hundred and fifty years.
Jane Hulet,1 the first wife of the immigrant Adam,1 died after bear-
ing him eight children, the youngest of whom was Gershom,2 born about
1663. Adam Mott * subsequently married Elizabeth Richbell,2 one of
the daughters of John Richbell,1 the first patentee of what is now the
town of Mamaroneck. Elizabeth Richbell2 bore him five children, to one
of whom he gave the name of Adam, although his eldest son Adam was
still living ; and thus in his will, offered for probate in 1689, he speaks of
his eldest son Adam and of his youngest son Adam.
Elizabeth Richbell's son, William Mott,3 born in 1674, was ancestor
of the celebrated surgeon, Valentine Mott, of New York. Richbell
Mott,3 the eldest of the Richbell children, born in 1668, was ancestor of
several persons of prominence. One of his granddaughters, Margaret,
married in 1749 Melancthon Smith, a statesman of note in his day, whose
grandson, Admiral Melancthon Smith o{ the United States Navy, died in
the summer of 1893. Jordan L. Mott, a prominent man in New York
during the latter half of the present century, was descended from the first
Adam Mott of Hempstead, through Joseph, the fifth son of his first
wife, Jane Hulet.
Gershom Mott,2 son of the immigrant Adam Mott and Jane Hulet,
removed in early manhood to Monmouth County, New Jersey, where he
became prominent. He is first named in the Monmouth records about
1685. He was High Sheriff of the county in 1697-98, and member of
the Provincial Assembly (Archives, N. J.) in 1707, 1708, 1709, 1710,

and 1 713. He was expelled from the Assembly with others for refusing
to vote for the Cornbury faction in 17 10.
In 1695 Gershom Mott 2 married Catherine Bowne,* a daughter of
Captain John Bowne (Salter's Early Settlers of Ocean and Monmouth
Counties), whose father, William Bowne, first settled in Monmouth
County about 1636 and died there in 1677. John Bowne was granted
forty acres of land at Jefferies Creek. He is mentioned in the first Mon-
mouth patents ; paid for his portion of land bought of the Indians, and
was member of the Provincial Assembly, 1703.
Gfrshom Mott2 is mentioned as one of the heirs of Captain Bowne.
His cattle-mark is recorded February 16, 1687, subsequently transferred
to his son James. Gershom Mott 2 describes himself in will, dated
February 15, 1730, in the reign of George III., as "Gershom Mott,
gentleman, of Middletown, Monmouth County." This will was probated
March 30, 1733, and is on file in the office of the Secretary of State
of New Jersey.
The following children of the first Gershom Mott ' are named in his
family Bible :
1. John,3 born December 1, 1697.
2. William,3 born November 9, 1699.
3. Gershom,3 born May 15, 1702.
4. Asher,3 born June 27, 1704.
5. James,3 born April 5, 1707.
6. Huldah,3 born October 31, 1709.
William Mott,3 born November 9, 1699, second son of Gershom 2 and
Catherine (Bowne) Mott, was ancestor of the General. I can find little
in regard to him. He was member of the Provincial Assembly in 1742
(Archives). He married (family Bible) Margaret Hartshorne, a
descendant of Richard Hartshorne (Salter's Monmouth County), whose
father, William Hartshorne, was of Leicestershire, Fngland. Richard
Hartshorne ' was born there October 24, 1641, and married Margaret
Carr, November 29, 1670. Their children were : f
1 . Robert.
2. Hugh.
3. Thomas.
4. Mary.
5. William,2 born January 22, 1679.

William Hartshorne's2 children were Richard 3 and Margaret,3 who
married William Mott.3
Richard Hartshorne,1 the immigrant above named, came to this
country September 16, 1669 ; located at the Highlands, Monmouth
County, N. J.; was a Quaker of good repute ; was Town Clerk of Middle-
town 1675 an<3 1676, member of Provincial Assembly 1683, 1686, 1698,
and 1699 ; Speaker of Assembly 1686 ; made a deed of gift of his High-
land property to his son William2 ; resided at Sandy Hook in a house now
standing next to the Baptist parsonage and the oldest in the county.

4. Margaret,6 born October 29, 1776, married Alexander Chambers.
5. Asher,6 born April 24, 1778.
Captain John Mott, son of William and Margaret ( Hartshorne)
Mott and grandfather of General Gershom Mott, was born, as above stated,
on the 1 8th January, 1734, and was therefore twenty-one years old when
the French and Indian War broke out and Washington made his first
campaign at the age of twenty-two as Aid to Braddock in 1775, and
was twenty-five years old when Wolfe fell on the Plains of Abraham on
the 13th September, 1759. ^ *s a tradition in the family that in this war
with the French he served in the British Army and fought before Quebec.
When, however, the battle of Lexington, in April, 1775, opened the
American Revolution, John Mott was living on the farm above Trenton
now occupied by the New Jersey Hospital for the Insane. He also
owned a mill, and took an active part in all public affairs, and was among
the first to join in armed resistance to British aggression.
It may be recalled that in the summer of 1775 General Montgomery
conducted an army from New York into Lower Canada, captured Mon-
treal, and was killed before Quebec on the 31st of December, 1775.
General Sullivan succeeded Montgomery, and John Mott is supposed to
have been among his soldiers, having either gone with Montgomery, or
perhaps having joined the reinforcements which followed Montgomery.
But this attack upon Canada was abandoned in the spring or early sum-
mer of 1776. The Canadians proved not to be in sympathy with the
American colonists.
In the official records of the local military organizations of New Jersey
John Mott is named on 9th February, 1776, as First Lieutenant in Captain
Patterson's Company in the Third Battalion,! but it does not appear whether
this was his first or second or third term of service. A little before this,

on the 8th of December, 1775, the First and Second New Jersey Battalions
had been ordered to New York. (Stryker, p. 15.) On the 3d'of May the
Second and Third Battalions went up the Hudson in sloops, and thence to
Ticonderoga (Stryker) as reinforcements of General Sullivan, who, after
the retreat of the British from Boston on the 17th of March, 1776, had taken
command of the army which had retreated from Quebec. As Lieutenant
John Mott was in the Third Battalion he was probably in this expedition.
The New Jersey battalions were successively in Johnstown, German Flats,
Fort Schuyler, Fort Dayton, and Ticonderoga and Fort Independence.
They were chiefly engaged in preventing Indian incursions. But they all
returned in time to take part in the campaign in New Jersey in the
autumn and winter of 1776-77.
The British fleets, it should be remembered, brought an army of thirty
thousand men to Long Island in the summer of 1776, and defeated Wash-
ington at Brooklyn on the 29th August. The Patriot army was driven out
of New York in the middle of September; fought and was defeated at White
Plains on the 28th of October; crossed the Hudson soon after, and was
forced to continue the retreat through New Jersey during November, and
reached Trenton on the 2d of December. These were the darkest days
of the Revolution, and Washington soon after retreated across the Dela-
ware River with the remains of his army. (Irving's Washington, vol. ii.
chap, xlii.)
But meantime a new army was being organized, new recruits were
brought in, enlistments were made for longer terms or " for the war " in-
stead of for the previous short dates, and Congress on the 12th of Decem-
ber gave Washington full power relative to the army. Lieutenant Mott
and his comrades under Sullivan had just returned from Ticonderoga. In
the new organization of the New Jersey troops, John Mott was made
captain of the Fifth Company in the Third Battalion (29th November,
1776), and now the four New Jersey battalions constituted the "New
Jersey Line" or Maxwell's Brigade. (Stryker, p. 41.)
But here, near his old home, Captain Mott's local knowledge made him
of great service as Washington's guide, in planning and conducting a new
attack upon the British in Trenton. Other farmers of the neighborhood
were also called in. On the 20th of December General Sullivan arrived
with troops from near Morristown. On the 25th, in the night, General
Washington recrossed the Delaware and marched on Trenton. Captain
Mott in the darkness of the morning carried a fusee on his shoulder to
light General Washington. The weather was stormy, and after they had
marched about three miles the Captain said to General Sullivan that the
priming powder in the muskets was becoming damp. Sullivan replied:
"Well, boys, we must fight them with the bayonet." When Washington
heard this he said : " Tell them to use the bayonet, and to penetrate the
town, for the town must be taken ! I am resolved to take it ! " As is
well known, he took the town and captured a thousand Hessian prisoners.*
Captain John Mott can be traced duiing the remainder of the war in
the "New Jersey Line" or Maxwell's Brigade. On the nth of Septem-
ber, 1777, lriey opened the battle of Brandywine and afterward encamped
near Germantown and formed the reserve corps and left wing at the battle
of Germantown. (Stryker, p. 42.) Maxwell's Brigade spent most of the

winter of 1777-78 at Valley Forge, where it may be hoped that Captain-
John Mott got leave of absence to. visit his home near Trent n. On the
28th of June, 1778, his command was in the left wing of the army at the
battle of Monmouth. In consequence of the "massacre of Wyoming,"
an army under General Sullivan, of which Maxwell's Brigade formed a
part, was sent up the valley of the Susquehanna in the spring of 1779
into the settlements of the Seneca Indians, returning late in the autumn,
and the New Jersey troops returned to their own State. They took a prom-
inent part in the fight at Springfield, 23d June, 1780 (Stryker, p. 46),
and Captain Mott retired from the army 26th September, 1780. But in
the following year the quota of New Jersey troops had so run down that
the legislature took vigorous action and appointed a recruiting officer in
every county. Captain John Mott consented to serve in that capacity in
Hunterdon County.
Captain Mott turned his mind after the war to more peaceful ways, but
served for a time as captain of militia, and at the mature age of fifty mar-
ried, as above stated, 17th June, 1784, the widow of Captain Alexander of
the British Navy. He and his wife are buried in the Quaker burial-ground
in Trenton, at East Hanover and Montgomery Streets, whence it may be
supposed that at the time of their death they belonged to the Society of
Friends.
The children of Captain John and Eleanor (Johnston) Mott as named
in his family Bible, now in possession of his granddaughter, Eleanor Hines
Abel of Providence, R. I., were:
1. Gershom,5 born July 12, 1785.
2. William," born March 29, 1790.
Gershom,5 son of John4 and Eleanor, was the father of the General.
Gershom Mott5 (the Judge) lived at Lambeiton, near Trenton. He
was a prominent citizen, being collector of the port of Lamberton from
1828 until his death in 1848, being reappointed by each President. He
was appointed judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Burlington County
October 31, 1833, and held that office at the time of his death. He was
a prominent member of the Baptist Church, being a deacon of the First
Baptist Church of Trenton for many years. He married, April 11, 181 1,
Phcebe Rose Scudder, daughter of John Scudder (Croley's Ewi?ig Settlers,
p. 220), a descendant of the Scudders of Ewing, and Mary Keen. This
Mary (Keen) Scudder, grandmother of Major-General Gershom Mott,
was one of the thirteen maidens who strewed flowers before General Wash-
ington at a reception given him at Trenton on the 21st of April, 1789.
Judge Gershom Mott,5 father of General Gershom Mott,6 died Octo-
ber 14, 1848. The children of Judge Gershom5 and Phcebe Rose (Scud-
der) Mott, as given in his family Bible, now in possession of his grand-
daughter, Kate A. Mott, were :

Gershom Mott6 (the General), fifth child and second son of Judge
Gershom and Phcebe Rose Mott, born April 7, 1822, at Lamberton,
finished his education at the Trenton Academy. In 1836 he entered a
store in New York. At the breaking out of the Mexican War he was
appointed Second Lieutenant of the Tenth United States Infantry. He
participated with credit in all the battles under General Scott, from Vera
Cruz to the capture of the City of Mexico, and was mustered out of the
service at the close of the war. He was appointed Collector of the Port of
Lamberton in 1849, which office he held until appointed clerk, at Borden-
town, of the Bordentown and Raritan Canal Company. In 1855 he was
made teller of the Bordentown Banking Company, where he remained
until 1861.
When the first shot was fired on Sumter he volunteered in defence of
the country, and was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel Fifth New Jersey Regi-
ment, and was wounded in the arm at the battle of second Bull Run,
August 29, 1862. He was promoted Colonel of the Sixth New Jersey
Volunteers May 8, 1862. Was unanimously recommended by his supe-
rior officers for promotion to Brigadier-General September 7, 1862. Was
given command on return to duty, December 4, 1862, of the Second Bri-
gade New Jersey Volunteers, and then of the Third Brigade, Second Di-
vision, Third Army Corps. He was wounded in the hand May 3, 1863,
at Chancellorsville. In May, 1864, General Mott was placed in command
of the Second Division, Third Corps, and subsequently commanded the
Third Division, Second Corps. He was brevetted Major-General Septem-
ber 9, 1864, for taking the enemy's outpost and line and over one hun-
dred men. He was wounded in the leg at Amelia Springs, April 6, 1865.
After peace was restored, General Mott was given command of the Division
of Provincial Corps. Upon its being mustered out, he was ordered to
Washington and made a member of the Wirz Commission. November 22
he was detailed as one of the committee to investigate the difficulties
between the State of Massachusetts and the Austrian Government. While
upon this commission he received his last promotion, December 1, 1865,
dated from May 26, 1865, to full Major-General.
Major-General Mott was the first volunteer officer to be brevetted
r5 Dominie Laurent his Van Gaasbeek and his Descendants. [April,
Major-General in the Army of the Potomac, there being only one other
full Major-General from New Jersey. He resigned February 20, 1866,
and was appointed Paymaster of the Camden and Amboy Railroad Com-
pany. In 1867 he was tendered the appointment of the colonelcy of the
Twenty-second United States Infantry, but declined to accept. In 1873
he became a partner in the iron foundry under the name of Thompson
and Mott. Governor Bedle appointed him Treasurer of the State, also
Keeper of the New Jersey State Prison for five years. In 1873 Governor
Parker appointed him Major-General of the National Guard of New Jer-
sey, which rank he held at the time of his death. March 21, 1882, Gov-
ernor Ludlow appointed him a member of the Riparian Commission.
He was also director, for many years, of the Bordentown Banking Com-
pany and the West Jersey and Atlantic Railroad Company, and was treas-
urer of many small corporations. All the above positions he held at the
time of his death, November 29, 18S4. He was also member of the
Society of the Cincinnati, the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, and of
many army societies.
General Gershom Mott left but one child, the compiler of this brief
account of his life and descent. And she desires to acknowledge here her
many obligations for assistance in putting this narrative into shape, and
for notes of the earlier history of the family, to her kinsman of the Mott
blood, Mr. Thomas C. Cornell, whose interesting book of his own Mott
ancestors brings in also the ancestors of General Gershom Mott.

influence, and a member of the Third United States Congress, 1793 to

1 886. From them it appears that he was on intimate terms with several
prominent men of his time, including Aaron Burr, Alexander Hamilton,
and others. He was captain in the Revolutionary Army, and was
detailed with his company to protect the property of the Patriots from the
depredations of the Tories. For this purpose he was, in the year 1776,
stationed at Livingston Manor, where two companies were under his com-
mand. He was afterwards promoted to major. (Family 17.)

Kingston, N. Y. In connection with his business he ran a sloop between
Rondout and New York, the arrival and departure of which was at that
time as great an event as is that of a European steamer to-day, the people
gathering to welcome and greet its arrival. His wife, Ariaantje, was con-
sidered very beautiful, and was quite a belle in her day. Her beauty
attracted the attention of General Washington during his visit to Kings-
ton, and he sought an introduction at a ball given in his honor. She
was familiarly called the "Rose-bud." (Family 20.)

THE ANCESTRY OF GRACE KAYE, WIFE OF SIR RICHARD
SALTONSTALL.
By A. H. Mickle Saltonstall.
As the ancestress of men who for four successive generations were
conspicuous for the prominent part taken by them in the government of
Massachusetts Bay Colony, and that of her sister colony, Connecticut,
as well as for their patriotic efforts to protect and defend the rights and
liberties of the colonists under their respective charters, Grace Kaye, the
wife of Sir Richard Saltonstall, is of no small interest, if for nothing else
than for the purpose of speculating upon how far the law of heredity was
instrumental in her case in effecting and influencing the characteristic
traits of her descendants, who, in the struggle beginning with the found-
ing of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and ending in the establish-
ing of American Independence, were pre-eminent in furthering the one,
and perpetuating the other by services both legislative and military. The
first of her paternal line of whom we have authentic record is William
Kaye, vive 28 Edward I. In 1375 his grandson Laurence Kaye was
designated " of Woodsome, County York," and in this manner were they
known for more than three hundred years. Fourth in descent from this
Laurence was George Kaye, who married Margaret, daughter of James
Radcliffe of Langley, County Lancaster, a family of ancient lineage. In
1 5 17 their son, Arthur Kaye, married Beatrice, daughter of Matthew
Wentworth of Bretton, County York. The issue of this marriage, John
Kaye, vive 1585, married Dorothy, daughter of Robert Mauleverer of
Wodersham, County York, and his wife Alice, daughter of Sir Ninian
Maikenfield and his wife, Dorothy Gascoigne. By this marriage the
family became allied to the most ancient and noble blood in England
{vide Chart). Robert Kaye, vive 16 12, son of the above John, married
Ann, daughter of John Flower of Whiteswell, County Rutland, and it was
their daughter Grace who married, as his first wife and mother of all his
children, Sir Richard Saltonstall of Huntwick, born 1586, son of Samuel
Saltonstall of Rooks and Huntwick, England, by his first wife Ann,
daughter of John Ramsden of Longley Hall, County York, who was
eighth in descent from Thomas de Saltonstall of the West Riding in
Yorkshire, who, in 1343, granted moieties of his estate to his sons John
and Richard.
On the 19th of March, 1627, a company of six gentlemen purchased
Massachusetts Bay from the Plymouth Company, and Sir Richard
Saltonstall, shortly after, became one of their associates.
After Sir Henry Rosewell and Sir John Young, two of the original pur-
chasers, his name appears next among the associates in the charter granted
by Charles I., May 4, 1628. Bond, in his History of Water town, says
that " his name almost invariably stands at the head of the Assistants
on the records of the Company." When the proposition of Governor
Cradock to transfer the government of the Company from England to the
Colony was to be argued at a General Court of the Company on the 29th
of August, 1629, Sir Richard was named first of those who were desig-
nated to advocate the transfer. " At a General Court held in London,

1894-] Genealogical Notes on the Quackenbos Family. ^j
England, December 1, 1629, the Company appointed five 'Undertakers,'
among those about to go over, of whom Sir Richard Saltonstall was
named next after the Governor." Early in April, 1630, Sir Richard,
with his family and others of the Company, embarked at Yarmouth, Eng-
land, on the Arabella, and reached Salem, Mass., June 12, 1630. On
arriving at Charlestown, after leaving Salem, " this Company divided into
two portions — one of which, with Sir Richard Saltonstall as their leader,
went to plant Watertown." He some time after became, with Viscount
Say and Seal, Lord Brooke, and others, a patentee of Connecticut ; and
remained always extremely solicitous of the Colony's welfare. When,
therefore, on January 1, 1708, his great-grandson Gurdon Saltonstall was
elected to the Governorship of the Colony, it was a coincidence remark-
ably appropriate ; serving likewise as an exemplification of the pangenetic
hypothesis — as certain characteristic qualities and tendencies, begotten of
a line of ancestors born to be rulers in the land, were in him repeated
and evinced — a heritage descending to him through his ancestress Grace
Kaye.

TEN BROOK FAMILY BIBLE.
Contributed by Victor H. Paltsits of the Lenox Library.
It is difficult to imagine what vast genealogical material lies buried
in old Bibles. This sacred volume was long ago made the receptacle of
family records. Its use as such was not inappropriate. The family,
making constant use of the household Bible, would ever have before it
the record of its departed forefathers, and point with pride to those dead
who had reached distinction or had lived a faithful and an honorable
life.
Many of these relics of the past lie hidden on library shelves, seldom
to be disturbed from their repose, except indeed to receive their occa-
sional or, it may be, their long-needed dusting. Many, no doubt, rest in
the family cupboard, little used and less appreciated, until they are
turned over with other " rubbish " to the junk dealer, and in turn by
him sold to the paper-mill to be ground into pulp. Thus are many of
the important family chronicles either kept from the genealogist or for-
ever destroyed and lost.
The Lenox Library contains the largest collection of Bibles in Amer-
ica, if not the largest in the world. By the bequest of the "Robert
L. Stuart Collection," the number of Bibles gathered by Mr. James
Lenox, the founder, was considerably augmented. It is from a Stuart
copy* that the following family record is taken. It is bound in two
volumes. At the end of the second volume is a list of subscribers'
names which contains those of Henry Ten Brook and John Ten Brook
among the subscribers from " New York." The genealogy is written on
the verso of the second leaf of signature LI of the Apocrypha, being that
immediately preceding the New Testament title-page. The writing
appears to be mostly, if not entirely, in the hand of one and the same
person.
Jane Ten Brook, wife of Henry Ten Brook, was born Feb?' i7l.h 1754 ;

According to O'Callaghan this is the first hot-pressed edition of the Bible printed
in America, and was issued originally in forty numbers, commencing June, 1796, at
fifty cents a number. The division into volumes is therefore altogether arbitrary,
and some copies have a titlepage to vol. ii. The text is that of the Cambridge
edition published by John Baskerville, and is without notes of any kind.

up by her Aunt Steel, and to have been lost with a vessel on a voyage for
the West Indies.
53. Johannis : bap. Oct. 10, 1759; witnesses, Pieter Ennis and
Maria Van der Hoev, wid. of Jakobus Ryckman ; d. Asbury, N. J.,
1833. He was left an orphan child, and was brought up by his Aunt
Steel. He served in the Revolutionary Army while still under age.
He was married three times. His first wife has been vaguely men-
tioned as a Miss Valentine or a Miss Day. There was a child, Michael,
baptized at Schenectady, Oct. 2, 1779, son of Johan Schurman and
Catarina Merlelie.
John's second wife was a Miss Leonard. His third wife, married about
1824, was Catharine Scott, widow of Benjamin Loder.
The name of John Schaneman, or Schuneman, appears as a private in
the 4th company, Capt. John A. Whitbeek, nthN. Y. Regiment, Albany,
Col. Anthony Van Bergen. The regiment seems to have been in some
way identified with Coxsackie and Groot Imbogt. (N. Y. State Ar-
chives: N. Y. in the Revolution, pp. 270, 463, 464.)

elected trustees of the Society, to serve for the ensuing three years. After the
election, an interesting and scholarly address on "' The Apostle Eliot and his Indian
Villages," was delivered by the Rev. Edward G. Porter, of Dorchester, Mass. In-
connection with the address a number of photographs were shown, and also a copy
of " Eliot's Indian Bible," and his " Indian Grammar." At the meeting of Febru-
ary gth, Dr. Titus TVIunson Coan, a native and long a resident of the Sandwich
Islands, gave a pleasant and instructive talk on " Hawaii and the Hawaiians ; " and
on March gth, General James Grant Wilson read a well-written paper on "Gen.
John A. Dix."

THE QUARTER-CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY.
On the evening of the 27th of February, 1869, seven gentlemen met at the house
of Dr. David Parsons Holton in New York City, and organized the New York
Genealogical and Biographical Society. A certificate of incorporation was filed on
qa Notes and Queries. [April,
the 16th of March following, and meetings were held at the residence of Dr. William
Frederick Holcombe until the 17th of July, when permanent quarters were obtained
in Mott Memorial Hall, 64 Madison Avenue. Here the Society remained until the
1st of May, 188S, when it removed temporarily to the Berkeley Lyceum Building,
No. 19 West Forty-fourth Street. On the 1st of January, 1S90, it took possession
of its present rooms at No. 23 West Forty-fourth Street, where, with a large and
valuable collection of books on genealogy, biography, and history, a constantly
increasing list of life and resident members, and an invested building fund of over
twenty-three thousand dollars, it is doing a useful and important work in the
community.
On Tuesday, February 27, 1894. it completed the twenty-fifth year of its
existence, and the event was celebrated in an interesting and appropriate manner.
In the afternoon a reception was held in the library, the room adjoining being also
thrown open through the courtesy of the members of the Women's University Club.
The committee having charge of the reception, and to whose faithful and energetic
labor the pleasure and success of the occasion is due, was composed of the following
ladies : Miss Elizabeth Clarkson Jay, Chairman, Miss Lucy D. Akerly, Mrs. Cath-
erine R. Baetjer, Mrs. Charles Avery Doremus, Mrs. Cornelia C. J. Dyer, Mrs.
Ferdinand P. Earle, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, Mrs. Henry Herrman, Mrs. James M.
Lawton, Mrs. De Witt Clinton Mather, Miss Margaret Morris Norwood, Mrs.
Thomas J. Owen, Miss Mary Close Purple, Mrs. Sylvanus Reed, Mrs. John Stanton,
Mrs. Martha B. Stevens, Miss Bessie Thayer Sypher, Mrs. Gamaliel C. St. John,
Mrs. Lucas E. Schoonmaker, Mrs. Howard Townsend, Miss Mary Mildred Williams,
Mrs. Ellen Hardin Walworth, Mrs. William Hopkins Young and Mrs. Katherine di
Zerega.
In the evening a meeting was held in the Berkeley Lyceum Theatre which was
largely attended. After a prayer by the Rev. Dr. Talbot W. Chambers, senior pastor
of the Collegiate Reformed Church, Dr. Samuel S. Purple, the first Vice-President,
gave a historical sketch of the Society. A letter from Dr. Henry R. Stiles, the first
President of the Society, who is now living in London. England, was read by Mr.
Richard H. Greene, the Secretary of the Celebration Committee, and short speeches
were made by ex-Presidents Edward F. de Lancey, General George S. Greene and
Henry T. Drowne.
An eloquent address followed from Judge Alphonzo T. Clearwater of Kingston,
N. Y., on " The Debt we owe to our Dutch and Huguenot Ancestors," after which
the Anniversary Address was delivered by General Augustus W. Greely, who-e
exploits in Arctic exploration have made his name known and honored throughout the
scientific world. The exercises were enlivened by music from Stub's orchestra.
Handsomely printed invitations (for the beauty and good taste of which great credit
is due to Mr. T. A. Wright of the sub-committee on printing) were sent to many
historical, genealogical and kindred societies throughout the country, and representa-
tives of a number of these societies occupied seats upon the stage.
Both the afternoon reception and the evening meeting were exceedingly pleasant
and interesting, and the Society has reason to congratulate itself on a most successful
celebration of its twenty-fifth anniversary. It is proposed to publish a volume con-
taining a full account of the proceedings, together with the addresses delivered and
other data relating to the Society. Copies of this volume will be sent to the members.

My dear Mr. Drowne : Your card of 15th, communicating to me the news of
the death of our old and esteemed friend Mr. Charles B. Moore, is at hand, and I
take the first opportunity of expressing to you and my other friends of the N. Y.
Genealogical and Biographical Society my deep sense of the loss which we have sus-
tained in his death.
1894-] Notes and Queries.
95
Mr. Moore was one of the earliest of those who rallied to the support of the Society,
shortly after its establishment in 1869 ; he was one of its most interested and punctu-
ally attending members— even to his latest days ; and he was the one, perhaps, who
was most particularly fond of genealogical record for its own sake, among us. His
early training as a lawyer seemed to have given him a special bias towards genea-
logical investigations : he had a curious faculty for what I called " underground rum-
maging— that is, the following, with a keen scent, of certain lines of evidence, quite
unobservable toothers, which would finally turn up, in the most unexpected quarters,
as facts, or at least as very strong links of presumptive evidence.
In every fiber of his being he was (1) a Long Islander, and (2) a New Yorker ; and
thus State and island enlisted all his interest as fields of labor. And his intimate
acquaintance with the island, its old families, traditions, civil and religious history,
etc., etc., combined with his legal training and mental acumen, gave him a wonderful
advantage in his genealogical labors. Almost contemporaneously with his joining
the Society — possibly before that date — he inaugurated a work which was to be, I
think, to New York and Long Island genealogy, what Judge Savage's Genealogical
Dictionary is to New England. It was to be at once a dictionary and an index to
the biography and genealogy of the State of New York. He invited cooperation, and
the Society has always maintained a committee to cooperate with him in this great
work. But the work was so vast in its plan and ramifications, and planned on lines
so essentially peculiar to Mr. Moore's own individuality, that these committees gen-
erally found that there was but little cooperation needed, except to give that moral
support which every diligent student in such quarries always likes to have behind him,
and so this great work in MSS., which I believe is to become the property of the
Society, will remain to us as an evidence and a monument of the donor's own labors
and individuality. Knowing its character, as I do, from personal observation, I
congratulate the Society upon its possession — avast thesaurus from which the student
of New York history may draw in years to come.
Mr. Moore was a man of peculiar ways and modes of thought. He was, perhaps,
somewhat crotchety ; his likes and dislikes strongly pronounced; but those who knew
him best knew that he had a most kindly (even a tender) heart, and a disposition of
helpfulness to all with whom he came in contact. Of his standing as a lawyer, others
can speak better than I can ; but I fancy, from what I knew of him, that he was strong-
est in the looking up of evidence and in the matter of sound advice.
We shall miss his venerable form at our meetings around our library table ; the
white locks, the keen eyes looking half-humorously over his glasses, the thin lips bear-
ing the faint indication of a cynical smile; we shall miss his curt sentences and his
sometimes fiery retort to any fancied aspersions upon his beloved Long Island.
His papers read before us were always full of sound sense ; full of recondite clues
to "possible links" of evidence ; full of abiding faith in a God in history. He was
the Nestor among us ; a man of singular modesty — else he would long since have
occupied our presidential chair — a man looked up to among us, and whose absence
henceforth makes some of us feel ourselves older than before.
Always interested in interesting others in the objects of our Society, his last work
of love to us seems to have been the securing for our Society the valuable bequest
received from the late Mrs. Coles. His influence, so unobtrusively yet effectually
exercised in this matter, as on many previous occasions, must ever be a pleasant
remembrance to us — the fitting closing act of a good life well and usefully spent.
Be pleased, my dear friend, to convey to the Society and my former associates of
the earlier days of our organization my sincere sympathy with them in this our com-
mon loss, and believe me, sir, Yours truly, HENRY R. STILES.

Provoost. — Can the readers of The Record inform me as to " Samuel Prevoost,
young man born and lived in New York," who married, March 2, 1722, " Maritie
Meyyers (should be Myer), young daughter born and lived in Ackinsack," Hacken-
ensack, N. J. ? (Pub. Holland Society, Record of Hackensack Dutch Reformed
Church, vol. i. part i. p. 44.) She was a daughter of Jan (Johannes) Myer; he
was baptized June 12, 1667, in New York City ; he married Jannetie (Cornelise)
Banta, of Hackensack, N. J. He was son of Marten Janszen Mijer ( = Myer),
of Elsvliet, Holland, who was in America before 1654, and was one of the schepens
of Amersfoort, Long Island, for several years. He was married in Dutch Reformed
Church in the Fort at New Amsterdam, October 2S, 1662, to Hendrickje Hermans,
of Amsterdam, Holland.
On February 6, 1721, Johannes Myer and Jannetie his wife for ,£150 sold their
house and land in Hackensack, on right-hand side of the present Old Dutch Reformed
Church, to William Provoost, of the city of New York, merchant. Deed acknowl-
edged before David Provoost, Esq., one of his Majesty's justices of the peace for the
county of Bergen, N. J. This was nearly one year previous to Samuel's marriage.
1734. June 30. Samuel Piovoost and wife (under name of Brevoort) are wit-
nesses in said Hackensack Church at baptism of " child of Johannes Labag and
Rachel Meyer." She was a sister of Jannetie (his wife).
1738. June 9. Samuel Provoost and wife are witnesses at baptism of child of
Jacobus Bogaert and wife. On same day is baptized Samuel Provoost, son of David
W. Provoost and Annake Van der Water.
1740. September 28. Baptism of Jannetje, (daughter of) Samuel Brevoort and
Maritje Meier ; the witnesses are Jacobus Bogart and wife.
1752. Sem (Samuel) Prevoost and Mareytje Meyer witnessed baptism of Sem
Prevoost), child of Johannes Prevoost and Marregrietje Van Hoorn.

Gerrit Van Horn was a witness to will of Johannes Myer.
Have examined Mr. Purple's Genealogy of the Provoost Family, but cannot find
any Samuel Provoost that fits this Samuel. I am satisfied that the name was Provoost
and not Brevoort. 1 find on the baptismal register of Kingston church, Ulster County,
N. Y., p. 26, No. 474 : t0s6, July 11, baptized Samuel, child of Benjamin Provoost
and Elsje Alberts, but he does not appear to be the one I am after.
I do not find name of Samuel Provoost on list of the Burghers of New Amsterdam
and Freemen of New York. 1675— 1686

married Maritie Myer. If you can give me any information on this subject I would
be indebted. Very faithfully, Isaac myer.
Carpenter. — The following is extracted from MS. records in the office of the
Secretary of State at Albany, and may be of interest to the readers of the Record ;
On Dec. 4, 1721, the following petition .was sent to Governor William Burnett :
" The humble Petition of Joseph Carpenter and Job Wright Inhabitants within
the county of Westchester in behalf of themselves and nine others of the new settlers
back in the woods between Rye and Bedford showeth that your petitioners about three
years ago having with sixteen others purchased from Capt. Robert Walter and com-
pany a tract of land contiguous in the back of Rye and within the limit of said town-
ship, have at their own very great cost and expense and labors settled themselves
thereon, and by their industry and number, they being upwards than Thirty able men,
tho' poor, cultivated and improved the same for the subsistence and livelyhood of
themselves and their families — a thing very hard to perform by new settlers," etc..
etc. The balance of the petition, a very long document, recites the high rate of their
taxes, which they think have been unjustly levied upon them by the authorities of Rye.
We can easily believe they were " poor," for by tradition they " bonded their town "
in order to buy a grindstone; but if they had only told us the names of the nine, six-
teen, and thirty others we would have liked it. But perhaps the following will give
a little information on that point and also show their " Temperance proclivities."
Robert Carpenter, William Dusinberre, henery Dusinberre, Richard Wooley,
Reuben Kallam, david Siebe, Robert Knowlton, Jacob Forman, Joseph Sails, Joseph
Fowler, and Richard Honeywell send a petition to Gov. George Clarke requesting
him to remove Francis Pellem from his position of Justice of the Peace, they stating
that he was a very violent man, oppressing the poor, and much given to drink, of
which " his favorite toddy is Punch." (Petition dated 1722.)
Besides the above there is a petition for a ferry to Long Island, dated 173S, signed
by Joseph Carpenter and John Patting. But the result of these three petitions does
not appear on record.
DANIEL H. CARPENTER.
Schureman, Schuurman, Thomson. — I wish to have help in tracing these per-
sons in their last days.
Ferdinand Schureman, born about 1731, was one of the freeholders of Middlesex
County, who met at New Brunswick, N. j., January 3, 1775, and was chosen as one of
the Committee of Observation and Inspection for New Brunswick, who should meet
with the others at New Brunswick, January 16th, to choose a committee of corre-
spondence for a limited lime. Eleanor Voorhees was received to church membership
at New Brunswick, June 28, 1782, as his widow. She died July 29, 1S09, and her
tombstone is in the yard of the First Dutch Church, N. P.. The conjecture is
natural that, during the British occupation of New Brunswick, Ferdinand died and
was buried elsewhere.
Antje (De Riemer) Stryker Schuurman, baptized in New York. October 4, 1721,
was wife of Peter Stryker, say 174T-49 , his "wedenwe" November 9, 1750; and
wife of John Schuurman, February, 1751-July 6, 1795, when he died. Her daughter

Jane, by her first husband, married John Thomson, Captain, and about 179S they
removed to the State of New York, through fellowship with their son-in-law, Rev.
Conrad Ten Eyck, who had married their daughter Jane Thomson. For a time they
were at Aal Plaats (Eel Place), near Schenectady — a hamlet which I have been unable
to identify. Afterwards Captain Thomson was located two miles from Fonda's
Bosch, say at what is now called Broadalbin (formerly Broadalbane ?). The widow
Schuurman seems to have gone with them. The two Thomsons and Mrs. Schuur-
man were members of the church at New Brunswick, May 1, 1794 ; opposite the
name for the latter is the sign for "removed." I have tried in vain to find their
church membership in the State of New York. richard wynkoop.
An Old Print. — "A Draught of an Engagement between Guardaloupe & Grand-
terre on the 12th Novr. 1746 between ye Brig Greyhound of New York Rich. Jeffrey,
Comr. of 14 Guns & 92 Men & ye La Fleury a French Ship of 22 Guns & 84 Men & a
French Privateer Sloop of 14 Guns & 1 30 Men Wherein Captn. Jeffrey & Company,
Behaved very Gallantly & after an Engagement of 5 hours oblidg'd the Privateer to
Sheer off & took ye Ship."
The above is an inscription on an old print, commemorating a naval engagement
which was considered such a remarkable victory, that the print, representing the ships
in action, was struck off and a copy presented to each officer of the victorious vessel.
One of my ancestors was a surgeon on board the Greyhound, and 1 am desirous of
finding some record or account of the engagement. Is anything known concerning it ?

Van Tienhoven. — Dr. O'Callahan, in his " History of New Netherland," vol.
ii, p. 322 {note), referring to the family of Lucas Van Tienhoven, of New York, sur-
geon, who died A.D. 1714, says that " he married Katharine Man, by whom he had
six children."
There is an error in this statement. Katharine Man was his second wife. The
baptismal records of the Dutch Church show that the mother of eight of the ten chil-
dren of Dr. Van Tienhoven was his first wife, " Tryntie Bording," who was living as
late as the year 1695, she and her husband appearing in that year as witnesses at sev-
eral baptisms.
It seems that she was also the mother of his two children not mentioned in the
list of baptisms, but whose names (Nicholas and Susanna) are given in his will. (See
will, New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Vol. XII. , p. 50.)

Burhans Genealogy. Descendants from the First Ancestor in America,
Jacob Burhans, 1660, and his son Jan Burhans, 1663, to 1893. Compiled by
SAMUEL BURHANS, Jr., Trustee of the New York Genealogical and Biographical
Society, etc. New York : Printed for Private Circulation, 1894. Royal Svo, pp.
vi + 799, with illustrations.
The compiler of a family history who starts out with Dutch, -Huguenot, and English
blood in his veins soon finds that the task he has undertaken is not an easy one but
is beset with many obstacles. Hence we hail with eager praise the production of a
work like the one before us. The making of similar ones is not common, although
the signs of the times indicate that the harvest is promising. The date of birth and
place of residence of the founder of the Burhans family has not been determined.
Jacob Burhans and his son Jan were the first ancestors of the family in America. It
appears that the first named came out as a soldier in the employ of Gov. Stuyvesant
previous to 1660, and that his son Jan came out in the ship Bontecce in the spring of
1663. Jacob Burhans in December 1660 became one of the constituting members of
the Dutch Church in Wiltwyck, now Kingston, N. Y. His son Jan was admitted a
member of the same church, 3d July, 1664. He married Helena Traphagan, and their
eldest child was fanneke, who married, 12th October, 1697, Pieter Du Bois, a son of
Jaques Du Bois and Pierone Bentyn. Barent Burhans was the eldest son of Jan
Burhans who reached majority. He was baptized in the Dutch Church in Kingston,
24th April, 168 1, and married in same place Margariet Jans Matthyssen Blanchan
(Blanchard). From this time the descent of this large and important family is carefully
traced to the present day.
An important feature of this elaborate work is the care with which the female
branches are traced through two or more generations. Beside the Burhans family,
materials more or less full are found of the following families — viz. : Ackerman,
Adriance, Allen, Auchmoody, Avery, Barker, Baily, Baldwin, Barnes, Bassett,

The author of this volume has produced a work which commands the admiration
of every cultivator of family history. The descendants of the sturdy Dutch, the
enterprising and self-sacrificing French Huguenot, the adventurous and liberty-loving
English, will here find much to instruct and aid them in their ancestral investiga-
tions ; and while we could have wished that a notation based on that generally
adopted by American genealogists had been used in order to facilitate the tracing
of descendants to their first ancestors in America, still we will say that all praise
is due to the distinguished author for his indefatigable and useful labor in the
production of this large and sumptuous volume. The composition, printing and
presswork comes from the De Vinne Press and carries a meed of praise. s. s, p.
Some of. .the Ancestors of Rodman Stoddard of Woodbury, Conn., and
Detroit, Mich. A Compilation by Edward Deacon, of the Fairfield County
Historical Society, Bridgeport, Conn.; Stiles & Tucker. 1893.
In this little pamphlet of 86 pages Mr. Deacon has traced the ancestry of his
wife's father, Rodman Stoddard, in several lines to the first American ancestry. The
very interesting and full account of Anthony Stoddard, the first settler of that name
in this country, from the time of his arrival here in 1638-9 throughout his life in
Boston, shows much labor and a very thorough search of the early records.
Anthony Stoddard married Mary Downing, who was a niece by marriage of
Governor John Winthrop, the founder of Boston. It was. undoubtedly through this
connection that Anthony Stoddard became so prominent in the early history of
Boston. Among the many offices which he held was that of representative to the
General Court, being elected to that office for twenty years successively, a distinction
which the compiler states no other person since then has achieved.
An interesting illustration of the tendency of certain families and their connec-
tions to pursue the same calling or profession is shown on a chart which Mr. Deacon
has prepared. In the generation of Anthony Stoddard and two of his connections by
marriage, and the two succeeding generations of their children and grandchildren we
find this unusually large number of eminent divines of New England : Rev. John
Cotton, Rev. Richard Mather, Rev. John Wareham, Rev. Increase Mather, Rev.
Eleazar Mather, Rev. Solomon Stoddard, Rev. Cotton Mather, Rev. Wareham
Mather and Rev. Anthony Stoddard.
Besides that of Stoddard short accounts are given of other families whose first
settlers were respectively Governor Thomas Welles. Israel Curtis of Southbury, Conn.,
Robert Walker of Boston, William Judson of Concord, Mass., Governor John
Winthrop, Emmanuel Downing of Ipswich. A pedigree chart at the end of the
pamphlet shows very clearly and concisely the descent, in their several lines from
Anthony Stoddard, of Rodman Stoddard and such well-known men as Aaron Burr,
Governor William Woodbridge of Michigan and General William Tecumsch
Sherman.
The plan adopted in this work, of tracing to an individual his different lines of
descent from the first American ancestors, is a branch of genealogical research to
which more attention is constantly being given ; and though necessarily more difficult
and requiring more wide-spread investigation than the old plan of carrying down the
different lines of descent from a first settler to the various individuals having his

blood, still it is of vastly more importance to the individual. This pamphlet of Mi
Deacon's is a valuable addition to this branch of genealogy.
Noah Porter, A Memorial by Friends. Edited by George S. Merriam.
With portraits. New York : Charles Scribner's Sons, 1893. 'Svo, cloth, pp. 306.
No Yale student of the early '70's can ever forget the thrill of sorrow and of
delight that went through the college when it was announced that President Woolsey
had resigned, and that he was to be succeeded in the curule chair by Noah Porter ;
sorrow that the venerable form and kindly face of dear old " Prexie " would no longer
lie seen in the college pulpit at morning prayers, and delight that Dr. Porter had
received a well-earned and well-deserved promotion. For Dr. Porter was loved at
old Yale, and every undergraduate, from lordly senior to humble freshman, knew
that behind what sometimes seemed an austerity of manner was " a mild ami healing
sympathy that stole away the sadness " of marks and flunks. And no one who sat
under his teaching can ever forget the genial twinkle in his eyes when, in the class in
Moral Ethics, he propounded his favorite conundrum and its answer : " What is
mind? No matter. What is matter ? Nevermind."
The book before us is a loving tribute to his memory, written by those who knew
him best. His sister, his brother, his college class-mate, his associate in the faculty,
his companion in mountain tramps, his appreciator of one and of another side of his
many-sided nature tell of him as boy. as man. as student, as instructor, as theologian,
as friend — the result being a full and complete picture of the perfect man. The key-
note of his character is struck by President Carter when he says : " He saw so much
good in men, and was so desirous that that good should have fullscope, that it may be
safely assumed that the constant demands on his time and assistance were met with
much greater ease and exhausted him far less, than if his kindness and love for men had
been a superficial thing. It was not superficial, but controlled and quickened the depth
of his nature." The book contains two portraits, an excellent photogravure as a
frontispiece, showing him as he looked in the later years of his life, and another
from a photograph taken in 1S06. It is a volume which every Yale man should have
on his reading-table. T G. E.

This book is illustrated by 34 photo-engraved portraits, three views, a map

some places, but conveys little information in a volume containing 563 family geneal-
ogies. There are in this book genealogies and pedigrees of the following families:
Allison, Abbott, Badeau, Baldwin, Barlow, P.etts, Chase, Coe, Eels, Frost, Goddard,
Green, Gurnee, Hendrie, Hyatt, Ireland, Lockwood, Loutrel, Marvin, Osborn,
Palmer, Peck, Pine, Robertson, Wallace, Wilkinson, Wise and Wright. There is a
good index of 36 pages, double column. The generations are sometimes shown by
index figure, but figures are omitted as designations of individuals, and we think this
an unfortunate omission, for there is no easier way to trace a line than by the addi-
tion of a figure at the first appearance and each recurrence of the name. This work
shows great industry and will be justly valued. k. h. g.

Materials for a History of the Family of John Sullivan of Berwick,
New England, and of the O'Sullivan of Ardea, Ireland. Chiefly collected
by the late Thomas Coffin Amory. With a pedigree of O'Sullivan Beare, by Sir J.
Bernard Burke, C.B., LL.D., Ulster. Printed for private distribution. Cambridge :
John Wilson and Son, University Press, 1893. 8vo, 6i x 9+ pp. 154, xx.
This collection consists of a list of publications by Thos. C. Amory, on the subject
of the Sullivan family, a chronological list of the documents printed or noticed, filling
eleven pages ; then follows the narrative and documents, comprising letters with
enclosures, copies of bills, accounts, advertisements, and monumental inscriptions,
which together make Part I., In New England, sixty pages. Part II., In Ireland,
includes the pedigree of O'Sullivan Beare, on a folding map, by Sir J. B. Burke,
with an analysis or series of notes. In tables across double pages, from 149 to 154,
is the genealogy of John Sullivan, born 1690, Limerick, and his six children: John,
the well-remembered major-general in our Revolution ; Daniel and Ebenezer,
captains in the same struggle ; Benjamin the eldest, who was lost at sea in the
British navy before that war, and left no family ; Mary, wife of Theophilus Hardy;
and James who achieved distinction as a judge and afterwards as governor of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Truly a family worthy to be chronicled. The
descendants of each are carried through three generations. It is printed with the
taste which is always shown by the University Press, and is illustrated with arms, seal
and map. It would have been improved in the arrangement of the tables, with
which it concludes, if the break between the pages had been fixed at the divis-
ions between generations, or if there had been no appearance of division, and each
table had appeared as a single map. There is no index.

y Genealogy of the Cutts Family in America, Compiled by Cecil Hampden
Cutts Howard. Albany, N. Y.: Joel Munsell's Sons, Publishers, 1892.
This beautifully printed volume is an important and welcome contribution to
genealogical literature. The author has done his work conamore, and it is well done.
William Cutts, who was taxed in Saco, Me., in 1640, appears to have been the
earliest of the name in New England. The Genealogy, however, concerns itself
chiefly with the descendants of John, Richard and Robert Cutis, known positively to
have been brothers, and Ann Cutts, their sister. John Cutts is mentioned in the
Records of Portsmouth, N. II., as early as 1657. John Cutts, Jr., his nephew, also
has his descendants accounted for.
Mr. Howard had the inspiration of some very worthy New England names in
writing of the connection of his ancestors with the families of Penhallow, Vaughn,
Pepperell, Atkinson, Gerrish, Sparhawk, Appleton and others.
The text is supplemented by many interesting portraits and a goodly exhibition of
autograph signatures ; there is, however, a notable absence of heraldic illustrations,
which could doubtless have been added when we consider the distinguished positions
of the families whose history the author has related.
There is nothing apocryphal about the Cutts genealogy. It is frankly stated that
the descent of the American ancestor from the English stock has not been traced, and
we are also spared the recital of that too familiar and mythical story concerning the
first of the name who came into England with the Conqueror.
The general arrangement of the material is excellent, and four copious indexes
place the contents of the volume within easy reach of the hurried reader who may be
in search of particular information. R. K.
The Dolbeare Family. A Few Facts relating to the Origin and History of
John Dolbeare of Boston and some of his descendants. Cloth, pp. 32 iv.
This pleasing book does not claim to be a genealogy, pure and simple, but is exactly
what is stated in the modest title. The author, Mr. Arthur Dimon Osborne, of New
Haven, in a letter to the writer, states that only a few copies were printed for the
family, some of which are without the illustrations. This copy has, in addition to
the arms, two portraits, photograph of a brass rubbing, and crests from family silver,
the tables of lineal descent inserted, showing ancestral lines from Richard Osbrone,
England, 1612 ; Thos. Sherwood; Jehue Burr, Fairfield, 1644 ; John Barlow, 1653 ;
Thomas Dimon ; Sergeant Edward Hinman ; Edmund Dolbeare ; Major Nathan

The paper and presswork is fine, but no printer or publisher's name appears. In a
short preface, after acknowledgments and statement regarding the photograph of.
rubbing from the brass of Sir Richard, and extracts from records of Hereford Cathe-
dral, he says : "I had intended to include in the account a statement of all the
descendants of George Dolbeare, but to make it complete and satisfactory would
require more time and labor than I can devote to it." He has done well, let another
do the rest. r. h. g.
Washington at Tarrytown. A paper read before the Tarrytown Historical
Society, by Marcus D. Raymond, Tuesday evening, December 16, 1890. Published
by the author by request, Tarrytown, X. Y.. 1893. Svo, cloth, pp. 28.
This interesting account of Washington's doings in our neighboring town cannot
fail to be interesting. Washington was in this region in the summer of 1776. The
theatre of the war after the fall of Fort Washington was transferred to New Jersey,
and the North and East which had borne the brunt at the start were relieved from
much actual conflict, except when Burgoyne came down from the North and Clinton
moved up from his quarters in the city as far as Kingston, but not far enough to
save the army which had hoped to cut the colonies in two. Washington himself
returned to this neighborhood in 17S1, when the war was substantially over. His last
visit was just before the Evacuation in November, 17S3, when he was accompanied
by many of the prominent men of the day. Altogether this little volume is very
acceptable. R. H. G.

The title leaves little to add about the contents of this book. Samuel, the pro-
genitor of the family in this country, was born in Londonderry, Ireland, 1690, and
landed in Boston, Mass., August, 1718. Afterwards he became one of the settlers of
Nuffield, now Londonderry, N. H. The author, whose fine features appear in the
frontispiece, has written many valuable works, among which are the History of
Windham, N. H. (a copy of which this Society has long wanted), and the Morrison

The SHARPES. Published monthly by W. C. Sharpe, Seymour, Conn. Price % 1
per year.
This is an enterprising little periodical whose motto might be : " When found
make a note of." It was begun in January, 1893, and is designed as a storehouse for
such genealogical material relating to the Sharpe family as may come into the editor's
hands from time to time. He is thus enabled to put into print many interesting facts
without the delay inseparable from the publication of the conventional genealogy.
The project of issuing a monthly magazine in the interest of a particular family is
certainly a most excellent one and worthy of emulation. In this way valuable facts
are at once embalmed in print and saved from destruction.
Mr. Sharpe intimates that he has not had the support he had hoped for from those
who should be most interested, but doubtless when his periodical becomes better
known the subscription list will increase. R. K.

This parish gave name to the family of Loii'throp. Lorthrop, or Lathrop. The church,
which was dedicated to St. Martin, had for one of its chaplains, in the reign of
Richard the Second, Robert de Louthorp. Thus Rev. Mr. Huntington begins his
history of the family of the Lathrops : " The subject of these addresses was de-
scended directly from Rev. John Lathrop, the pioneer emigrant from England, 1634.
One of the most hardy and remarkable of those Christian heroes of our earliest
Colonial life. This tribute sets forth in good form the worth and excellence of her life.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF CHARLES B. MOORE.
By Epher Whitakek, D.D.
There are some possessions which no man can acquire as the object
of his own desire and choice. They may surpass in worth and excel-
lence the fruits of his most persistent and assiduous toil. They are richer
than gold, more precious than rubies, more enduring and indestructible
than any treasures of houses and lands upon earth. They come to a man
by inheritance. They rest upon the virtues of his ancestors. He may
prize them greatly and profit by them, or he may treat them lightly and
disregard them ; but he cannot forego them, nor essentially change them.
They bear the stamp impressed upon them by the character and life of
preceding generations.
These possessions are fundamental. One may build upon them, as
the noblest structures of architectural genius and skill are reared upon
foundations laid deeply below the surface of the ground. The grandest
and loftiest cathedrals must conform to the lines and spring up from the
immovable courses of the base. One may build a superstructure high or
low, beautiful or ungainly. It may be constructed of the richest or the
meanest materials, the finest marble or the coarsest stone, but on its own
foundation it must rest.
So it is with the basis of every man's life. No one can choose the
conditions of his own birth, nor determine whether he shall be in nature
Greek or Roman, Briton or American, born in lofty or lowly place. He
must begin his course with what results from the condition and deeds of
his ancestors.
All this is, of course, well understood by genealogists. There is no
need of enlargement.
To Charles B. Moore these fundamental and substantial possessions
came in large measure and excellence of quality.
As he was among the earliest members and officers of the New York
Biographical and Genealogical Society, so his pedigree was almost the
first to be presented for registration on its bocks. (See New York Bio-
graphical and Genealogical Record, vol. i., No. 1, p. 2.)
His earliest ancestors in America came from the western shore of the
North Sea, from Suffolk County, England. They made their permanent
home in the New World at the east end of Long Island, in Suffolk County,
New York. The name of their Long Island town, Southold, as well as
that of their county, Suffolk, came from their English home.
Thomas Moore, born in England about 16 15, was the first of the
family to establish himself in Southold. It was before 1636 that he took
106 Biographical Sketch of Charles B. Moore. [July,
for his wife Martha Youngs, daughter of the Rev. Christopher Youngs,
vicar of Reydon, Suffolk County, England. The chapel in Southwold
was then attached to St. Margaret's of Reydon, and at Southwold, July i,
1613, Martha Youngs was baptized. She came with her husband and his
mother, Ann Moore, to Salem, New England, as early as 1636. Subse-
quently both husband and wife and some of her kindred removed to
Southold, Long Island. She lived thereuntil 1671 or later. This removal
to Long Island was probably in 1651. (See New York Biographical
and Genealogical Record, vol. xv., No. 2, pp. 57-67.) From that
date until his death, forty years later, Thomas Moore was one of the fore-
most citizens of Southold, intelligent, venturesome, enterprising, prosperous,
and in full communion with the church. His concern in the ownership and
freighting of vessels, and perhaps in sailing them, caused him to be some-
times called mariner. But, however deeply interested in his ventures
upon the sea, he took good care to increase his possessions upon the
land. On the tax list of 1675 he and his sons stand for more than ..any
other man and his sons in the town except one. His homestead in the
village is a beautiful site, and his home lot of six acres is bounded on the
east by the town creek, which was in his day navigable for sea-going ships.
Seven years after his settlement in Southold he had gained so high a
standing among his intelligent and enterprising fellow-citizens that he was
chosen one of the two representatives of the town in the General Court
for the jurisdiction, the New Haven colony, to which Southold belonged
from 1640 to 1662.
Mr. Moore, in 1659, purchased the house and home lot of the famous
Capt. John Underhill, the professional soldier and skilful fighter of In-
dians. Capt. Underbill's first wife died in Southold while his home was
in that place. Part of his home lot in the centre of the village is now
covered by the Southold Savings Bank. Three years after the purchase
from Underhill, Mr. Moore conveyed this property to his son, Thomas
Moore, Jr.
In 1662 he became the owner of a large tract of land bordering on
Long Island Sound. This fine estate is northwest of the present village
of Greenport and adjacent to it. The place continues in the ownership
and possession of the family. It has been the homestead for the last
hundred and sixty years. It is now owned by the children and a younger
brother of Charles B. Moore. It extends along the Sound on the north,
and later additions on the south border the shore of the strait that here
connects Gardiner's and Peconic Bays. The land is sufficiently level
and fertile for culture and fine adornment ; and noble trees — oaks, hick-
ories, locusts, and others — grow spontaneously. From the dwelling house
the eye looks towards the main and surveys the waters of the Sound
with the vessels of travel and of traffic thereon. The picture changes
unceasingly. Beyond this large body of water, villages on the Connecti-
cut shore are visible by day, and light-houses shine there at night. These
are also seen in other directions. Eastward one beholds the villages of
East Marion and Orient, with Plum Island, Gull Islands, and Fisher's
Island farther away. Under the noonday sun Shelter Island reposes
in grace and beauty. Greenport flourishes near at hand. Toward the
southwest, beyond the charming Peconic, which reflects the sky, a long
outline of the Hamptons is the bound of vision.
It was in the midst of these various scenes of land and water, with

their manifold promptings of wide thought, deep emotion, and pure sen-
timents, that Charles B. Moore well improved the advantages of his boy-
hood and youth.
This place was conveyed in 1687-88, by the founder of the family, to
his grandson Thomas. He had previously made conveyances of lands
to his sons Thomas, Nathaniel, and Benjamin, in order to increase their
responsibility and their good standing among their fellow townsmen.
The official records of his day, made in Southold, Southampton, and
other places, show many entries which attest Thomas Moore's enterprise
by sea and land ; his good standing in the church ; his prominence in
public affairs ; and his ability to prosper.
After the capture of New York by the Dutch in 1673, they desired to
make all Long Island obey them, and attempted to make Thomas Moore
a magistrate of Southold. Many in the city doubtless knew him well.
But he refused the office, even though a worthy selection of commissioners
were sent to Southold and entered Mr. Moore's house for the purpose of
gaining his acceptance. In 1683, being a chief officer of the town, he
was one of a committee to choose a member of the first Legislative Assem-
bly of the Province of New York. He died in 1691.
The later ancestors of Charles B. Moore were fit successors of the
founder of the family in America. The pedigree is registered, and it is
needless now to adduce the whole line in this place.
The father of Charles B. Moore was Colonel Jeremiah Moore, a prom-
inent citizen of the town, eminent for his social virtues, his genial in-
fluence, and his sturdy uprightness. Mr. Moore's mother was Julia
(Brush) Moore, a native of Smithtown, Long Island. She survived her
husband, and finished her beautiful and beneficent course on the 29th of
August, 1873, in her ninety-second year. She was the mother of three sons
and three daughters. The eldest daughter, Frances Maria, the widow of the
Reverend William Huntting, resides at the homestead of her ancestors.
The other daughters, Mary Adeline and Julia Brush, with the second son,
Jeremiah, continued to reside there until the end of their days, each at an
age exceeding seventy years. The youngest son, William H. Helme
Moore, has resided for fifty years in the city of New York.
Mrs. Moore was a descendant of the Reverend George Phillips of
Brookhaven, Long Island, who was a son of the Reverend Samuel Phillips,
a graduate of Harvard College in 1650, and thenceforth the pastor of
Rowley, Massachusetts, until his death in 1695. Samuel's father was the
Reverend George Phillips, who, with Sir Richard Saltonstall and others,
founded Watertown,. Massachusetts, in 1630, and continued to be the
minister thereof until his death. Mrs. Moore manifested earnest religious
devotion, with sincere kindness and dignity of person and manner. Her
mental powers were vigorous , and she was efficient in .the activities be-
coming her sex and station in life. She made order, comfort, and refine-
ment abide in her home. She commanded the respect and affection of
her children. She also made sure of the obedience and good will of her
servants. Thus she made her life a boon to the place of her residence,
and a source of strength and joy to the Christian church, whose com-
munion she shared and prized. Even after she had numbered fourscore
years the goodness of her inmost spiritual life gave a charming beauty to
her countenance. Moses, the man of God, prayed for the beauty ol the
Lord. Mrs. Moore possessed it. The subject of this memoir made his

visits to her until her latest hour. The mother and the son were worthy
of each other.
The latter was born December 2, 1808, and lived in his infancy and
boyhood on the homestead of his ancestors. The teachers of his boy-
hood were more than ordinarily fitted for their duty. His father culti-
vated a large farm, and was an inventor of machines. This son acquired
the knowledge to be gained on a farm, and shared his father's inclination
toward mechanics and machinery. At Sterling, now Greenport, half the
male inhabitants were seafaring men. The youth made the acquaintance
of the perils and productions of the sea, and became familiar with the
language and the habits of seamen. All this knowledge was subsequently
well used.
The war with Great Britain, in 18 12-15, had its effect upon him.
His father was the highest officer of the militia regiment which guarded
a wide district open to incursions from British warships. His household
guard, and his armed and mounted messengers, were daily before the
eyes of his son. It was the father's chief duty to prevent the seizure of
supplies, or the voluntary sale of them. The landing of a torpedo near
his home, and the attendant hostilities on land and water which the lad
witnessed, were all vividly impressed upon his memory.
As boyhood advanced he went for study to Smithtown, and, residing
with his grandmother Brush, he studied the Latin language under the
direction of Dr. Charles R. Havens, then clerk of Suffolk County, whom
he assisted in the duties of the office. The county records of 1822 are
partly in the handwriting of the young assistant. At the close of this
year he made his first visit to New York — from Smithtown to Brooklyn
by stage, and from Brooklyn to New York by horseboat. Above Chatham
Square and Canal Street the land was generally inclosed and cultivated.
He attended the Christmas services in St. George's Church, Beekman
Street, the first Episcopal church he ever entered. He was interested in
the music which he heard in this and other churches. On his return
home he continued his classical studies in 1823 and 1824, in Southold,
under the Rev. Jonathan Huntting, a graduate of Yale, the pastor of the
Southold church of his ancestors, and in company with the pastor's son,
William Huntting.
The principal lawyer of Southold, Thomas Storrs Lester, was his
father's cousin and military adjutant. The early death and large funeral
of this active and noted man were very impressive. Ourc'assical student
lived with his great-aunt, Mr. Lester's mother, part of the time that he
studied in Southold. She became to him a venerable historic character,
and half a century later he deemed her reminiscences as valuable as the
dim histories of Greece and Rome, which he tried to master in a foreign
language.
In June, 1825, ne went to New York, and entered the office of Major
James Fairlie, clerk of the Supreme Court of that city, and continued
there for several 5 ears. The records of the office attest his industry. The
clerk had been a Revolutionary officer, an alderman, a legislator, and a
member of the constitutional convention of 182 1. He was a very exact
and careful officer ; and under this stern disciplinarian his young amanu-
ensis and assistant, in spite of natural bash fulness and timidity, acquired
fearlessness in transacting business, and the habit of accuracy, excellent
qualities for any man.
1894-] Biographical Sketch of Charles B. Moore. i0q
He determined to study law, and commenced his clerkship with
Peter Dempsey, Esq., who was the deputy clerk under Major Fairiie.
As the deputy often took the principal's place, so the young clerk often
acted for the deputy. Thus the student, had many an opportunity of
hearing Thomas A. Emmet, Dudley Selden, David Graham, and other
famous orators at the bar. Mr. Dempsey soon authorized Mr. Moore to
sign both the deputy's and the principal's names to official documents.
Mr. Moore wisely refrained from the use of this authority except in cases
of emergency. Thus no fault was found with the sub-deputy.
In those years Mr. Moore saw many interesting persons at the City
Hall : Revolutionary heroes, General La Fayette, President Monroe, and
Presidents succeeding him ; Judge Egbert Benson ; Governors De Witt
Clinton, Daniel D. Tompkins, Joseph C. Yates, and Morgan Lewis ;
Senator C. D. Colden, and many others. These persons taught the young
man the difference between the private conduct of public men and their
popular reputation. He completed his legal studies in the office of Wil-
liam H. Harison, Esq., afterwards controller of Trinity Church. Mr.
Harison was a son of the more noted lawyer, Richard Harison. He had
his father's excellent collection of books. The student had a fine oppor-
tunity to learn from books. He was also introduced to good company.
He coveted both advantages and improved them. He acquired no bad
habits, but cultivated his taste for reading solid old authors. He saw
something of the venerable Richard Harison, who was distinguished for
ability, learning, and probity, and who resided in the country near the
present Thirty-second Street, on an eminence commanding a fine view of
the North River. This eminent man died in December, 1829, and the
monument to his memory, inside the walls of old Trinity, bears a classical
inscription selected by his friend, Clement C. Moore, a son of Bishop
Benjamin Moore. Mr. Harison 's residence was sold by his executors to
the Hon. David S. Jones, who became an acquaintance of Mr. Moore.
At this time Mr. Moore came also into pleasant relations with the
Hon. John C. Spencer, son of Chief Justice Ambrose Spencer. These
relations and their advantages enlarged his views, corrected some errors,
and helped him when he began to practice his profession. He was inter-
ested in the case of De Caters vs. La Farge, and this introduced him to
another revisor of the statutes, the Hon. Benjamin F. Butler, afterward
attorney-general of the United States. The friendship continued until
the death of Mr. Butler.
Mr. Moore, at twenty-two years of age, became an attorney of the
Supreme Court and a solicitor of the Court of Chancery. He became a
counsellor of both in 1833-34, and subsequently of the higher courts.
including the Supreme Court of the United States. He was a long time
the city agent of the Hon. Selah B. Strong, afterwards member of Con-
gress and judge of the Supreme Court ; as well as of the Hon. Hugh
Halsey, county judge and surrogate, surveyor-general of the State,
presidential elector, and member of both houses of the legislature. Mr.
Moore held the same relation to the Hon. George Miller, legislator,
judge, and surrogate. All these were of Suffolk County.
Early in 1834 he formed a partnership with Charles G. Havens, whose
ancestors were from Long Island. This continued until May 1, 1838.
They opened their office at 7 Nassau Street, opposite the present United
States Treasury Building, and announced that one of them would always

be there during business hours. Mr.' Havens, active and fond of exer-
cise, generally attended to calls away from the office. Mr. Moore, lame
and less robust, was content to read law, history, and politics in the
office.
In 1835 the firm had the conveyancing of the large estate of Mrs.
Ann Rodgers, widow of Nicholas Cruger, which was then sold by her
executors, Francis B. Cutting and N. C. Heyward. This led to much
other business of the same kind. About this time Mr. Moore was ten-
dered the office of examiner in Chancery. He deemed it undesirable to
turn away in any measure from his ordinary law business, and astonished
the politicians by declining to accept the office. The next year, 1S36,
Governor William L. Marcy offered him the higher office of Master in
Chancery, and it was accepted.
About 1S43 Messrs. Moore and Havens became associated with
Francis B. Cutting, Esq., an eminent advocate. While associated with
him the preparation of the written pleadings, cases, opinions, points, and
briefs occupied most of Mr. Moore's time. He attended court and assisted
at the trial or argument only of some of the most troublesome and com-
plicated cases. The new firm prospered remarkably, as Moore and Havens
had done ; but ill health constrained Mr. Moore to withdraw from it at a
later date. He then formed, with the late William V. McDaniel, a quiet
conveyancing and consulting establishment. Afterwards Clifford A. Hand
and, subsequently, George B. Bonney joined him. With these he con-
tinued his association until he retired, in 1883, from active practice, on
account of age and bodily infirmities.
Mr. Moore's tastes and habits did not cause him to appear very often
in the courts. It was his way to counsel advocates and afford them the
means of success. This he could do because of his rare knowledge of
the law, and thorough comprehension of its principles. He was a master
of equitable jurisprudence, and of matters relating to commerce upon the
sea.
One of the important cases in which Mr. Moore's counsel was suc-
sessfully pursued arose in this way : Just before the outbreak of the war
between the United States and Mexico, Mr. Harmony organized a
trading expedition into the latter country. When he was about to cross
the border he was forbidden to proceed in advance of our invading army.
By order of General Kearney he followed the column commanded by
Colonel Doniphan and Colonel Mitchell. The soldiers' control of the
traders' movements was the only connection between the two parties.
When the former arrived at Chihuahua they decided to take the city by
storm, and pushed up Mr. Harmony's loaded wagons close to the wall to
shield the troops from Mexican bullets. The city was taken, but the
goods and expedition of Mr. Harmony were practically ruined. He
applied to Congress for indemnity, but for reasons that need not be
stated the application was in vain.
Thereupon he consulted Mr. Moore, and was greatly astonished to be
advised to bring a simple suit against the officers, or one of them.
Accordingly, suit was brought against Colonel Mitchell. The government
promptly adopted his defence. The result before Judge Nelson and a
jury was a verdict for value of the goods. The Supreme Court of the
United States affirmed this judgment. Judge Nelson defined for the jury
with admirable clearness and impartiality, the powers of military officer
1894.] Biographical Sketch of Charles B. Moore. m
to take private property for public use upon a military emergency, and
the limitations upon those powers, as well as the personal liability of an
officer who exercises them, and the limitations also upon these liabilities.
Chief Justice Taney delivered the opinion of the Supreme Court. Mr.
Cutting was the leading counsel, and met as the opposing counsel in
Washington the eminent John J. Crittenden, then the attorney-general.
Mr. Harmony recovered considerably over $100,000. This sum was a
large amount in those days. Extremely important were the rules thus
established as the law of the land to check the application of military
force to peaceful citizens, and to check also excess of reclamations from
military authorities compelled to act suddenly under pressure of apparent
military necessity. They were in line with the advice given by Mr.
Moore, and with the plan devised by him for dealing with what was
then considered a novel question.
The case of Post and others against Jones was brought by Mr. Moore
to a righteous decision with far-reaching consequences. The whaling
ship Richmond, of Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, after obtaining
nearly a full cargo of oil and bone, struck on rocks in Behring Sea. In
order to be advised of what was necessary and proper to be done, the
master summoned the officers of other whaling vessels who chanced to be
near the wreck, and who were the only persons accessible to him, for
survey and advice. They advised that it was impracticable to save the
vessel, and that the wreck and her cargo be sold at auction in their
wrecked condition and for what they would bring. Such a sale was
accordingly made, but it was practically at the mercy of the other whalers,
who became purchasers upon their own terms and without competition.
The oil and bone removed from the wreck were brought by these
purchasers to the home ports of their ships, or to New York, on their
account. But proceedings were taken in the Admiralty Court by Mr.
Moore in behalf of the owners of the wrecked ship Richmond, on the
ground that such a sale under such circumstances was invalid, and that
the purchasers ought to account for the value of the oil and the bone and
be content with a liberal salvage reward.
In the formal sale the whalebone was treated as of little value and as
an appurtenant of the oil to be apportioned among the purchasers of the
latter ; whereas, in the home market it had greatly advanced in value, and
it, moreover, occupied but a small space in the carrying vessels.
In the litigation Mr. Moore associated with himself as counsel Daniel
Lord. He was opposed by Charles O'Conor and others.
The case went through all the courts up to the Supreme Court of the
United States, where the position originally taken by Mr. Moore was fully
vindicated.
It was of importance to ocean commerce in the bounds set by it to
hard bargains between those who are made helpless by sea disaster and
those who have exclusive power to render needed assistance, and who
refuse to render it as salvors or otherwise than in the character of pur-
chasing owners.
In the political excitements while General Jackson and Mr. Van Buren
filled the Presidential office, Mr. Moore strenuously supported the policy
of these statesmen. Among his personal friends were William Leggett
and his greater successor, William Cullen Bryant; and Mr. Moore often
wrote for the Evening Post, which they edited. He supported the Wil-

mot Proviso, resented the action of the Democratic National Convention
of T848 in Baltimore, and took part with Mr. Van Buren in the Free Soil
movement of that year. He approved vigorously the ordinances of 1787,
and when the conflict came in 1861 to 1865 he was zealous for President
Lincoln and the nation.
Mr. Moore's high standing and rich fruitfulness as a genealogist and
biographer made him well and widely known. His attainments and
activities herein were more or less closely related to his professional
employments in dealing with real estate, in searching titles, in convey-
ance of landed property. In these matters, descent and inheritance are
important. Deeds, wills, and other instruments of writing must be sub-
mitted to investigation and scrutiny. The competent and skilful real
estate lawyer gives careful attention thereto.
Doubtless Mr. Moore had, in large measure, a natural bent and
aptness for investigations and productiveness of this kind. He had a
wonderful ability to acquire, retain, and use the knowledge of that infinite
world of details and particulars which the accomplished genealogist must
possess and command.
He became interested in these investigations comparatively early in
life. He formed the Genealogical Society of Southold in 1861. He was
at that period giving much time and thought to the production of the
Personal Indexes of Southold, the remarkable volume which he printed in
1868.
That book gave an immense impulse to genealogical research and
publication. Its happy and elevating influence has been effective in
many ways. It has more than blazed the path for not a few persons who
have used it, and safely followed its intrepid and intelligent guidance.
They would not have been able to advance at all without it through the
wilderness of names and dates pertaining to the posterity of early founders
of Southold. One who has been lost in a dense and seemingly boundless
forest knows what is the relief and joy given by the coming of a com-
petent guide. All who desire to know, and try to learn, the early history
of the old town of Southold, will hold in grateful memory the work and
name of Charles B. Moore for a thousand years to come.
He devoted to the preparation of those indexes who knows how many
successive summers ? And who knows at what expense, and with what
care and labor, he had every accessible and available source of informa-
tion explored and exhausted for him ? Who can tell how, and to what
extent, he employed men to copy all the town records, and all the inscrip-
tions on all the gravestones and monuments set up during two hundred
years throughout the whole twenty-five miles of the length cf the town ?
Unknown are the mysteries of his own personal examination of wills,
deeds, administrative letters, mortgages, assignments, quit claims, and
other legal documents of successive generations, in various public offices,
in order to find names or dates that might possibly enlarge the quantity,
or increase the accuracy, of the vast accumulation of material which sub-
mitted to his scrutiny. This material he made the subject of his keen
analysis, studious comparison, logical inference, and best arrangement
in symmetry and harmony for his own ready use, and for the most gener-
ous and ample aid of many others. Who can imagine with what charm-
ing courtesy and indomitable patience he freely distributed to every proper
comer from the opulent treasures of his immeasurable stores?
I S94.] Biographical Sketch of Charles B. Moore. \\ ->
During the first year of the New York Genealogical and Biographical
Society, Charles B. Moore took a prominent and efficient part in its
affairs ; and throughout the next ten years thereafter his pen yielded
more for its quarterly Record than any other man's. At the first annual
meeting, the Society elected him one of its two vice-presidents, and also
a member of the executive committee, and a trustee. He presented at
that meeting his pedigree for registration in the books of the Society.
He read at the same time his admirable biography of the Hon. Ezra
L'Hommedieu. This appeared in the second volume of the Record.
Previous to the second annual meeting he read his elaborate and recon-
dite paper on " Dutch and English Intermarriages." It will for a long time
bean element of no small value in the Record of October, 1872, and
January, 1873. His "Plan for Genealogical Work" had already been
read in the Society and printed in the Record. About this time he
became a life member, and was appointed the chairman of the committee
on biographical bibliography, an office which he retained twenty-three
years, until his lamented decease. The Record of October, 1871, con-
tains his sketch of Francis Brockholst Cutting, an eminent lawyer, who
had been associated with him in the practice of his profession. During
the same year he published in the Record "The Vail Family, " and a
sketch of David Richard Floyd-Jones, who had been a member of both
houses of the legislature and of the constitutional convention of 1846,
and the Secretary of State in 1859 and i860.
In 1872 he read in the Society "The Woodhull and Bray Families
of Long Island, "and a sketch of the " Circumstances Attending the Occu-
pation of Florida by the United States." The same year he was elected
the corresponding secretary. Thenceforward he discharged the duties of
the office with great faithfulness and ability for ten years. About this
time he read in the Society a biographical sketch of Daniel Moore, of
New York, and a paper on Barons Howard and Fffingham, and the
names Philadelphia and Assaragoe. His '"' Personal Reminiscences of
the late Hon. Selah B. Strong, Judge of the Supreme Court of this State,"
having been read in the Society, was published in the Record of April,
1873. It was accompanied by an excellent portrait of Judge Strong from
a fine steel plate. This was the first of the many attractive portraits which
have graced the pages of the Record. In the same number may be read
the address on biography which he delivered at the fourth annual meet-
ing. In the same year he read a paper on " The Early History of Tangier
in Africa, with notices of William Smith," and also a "Sketch of the
Life of John Romeyn Brodhead," as well as a "Sketch of Charles
Ludlow Livingston." These, too, are in the Record.
His chief contribution to the Society's Quarterly in 1874 was the
" Biography of the Rev. Thomas De Witt, D.D." When Dr. De Witt
was the senior pastor of the Collegiate Reformed Dutch Church he might
properly be deemed the most eminent clergyman in the city. Mr.
Moore's life of "John Ledyard, the Traveller," is in the Record of Jan-
uary, 1S76. It is bright, keen, vigorous, one of the most characteristic
products of Mr. Moore's intellectual penetration and graceful pen.
In the Record, a year later, one may read his " Sketch of the Rev.
William B. Sprague, D.D. ," the author of the Annals of the American
Pulpit.
For a series of years after he became a member of the Society's Publi-
II_i Biographical Sketch of Charles B. Moore. [Juty>
cation Committee, his pen was unceasingly active in writing notices of
books, and brief sketches of persons recently deceased.
In 1877 he published "John Rogers, the Martyr," and "The
Rogers Family of New York," as well as the pedigree of the Clinton
Family.
Later came his "Early History of Hempstead," and his " Shipwrights,
Fishermen, etc." No matter what his theme, he followed Sir Walter
Scott's rule for writing, namely, " Be interesting." He did not depart
from it while writing of fishermen who lived and died hundreds of years
ago, or while sketching the life of his friend, Edwin R. Purple.
Between 1880 and 1888 he published sketches of the Rev. John
Moore, Capt. John Seaman, the Clinton Family, the Christopher Youngs
Family, and the Moore Family of Southold, including his first American
ancestor, Thomas Moore. This latter paper has been freely used in the
present memoir.
These are far from being all his exceedingly interesting and valuable
contributions to the Record ; but if these only were printed in the style
of Bancroft's historical works they would fill volumes.
He took a prominent part, in the summer of 1890, in the worthy cele-
bration of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the formation of
the town and church of Southold. The chief addresses then made gave
expression to the immense learning and the splendid genius of the Rev.
Richard S. Storrs, D.D., LL.D., and of Charles B. Moore, Esq. These
addresses, with a letter from Benjamin Harrison, President of the United
States, are the chief parts of the handsome octavo volume which records
the celebration.
In 1839 Frances Maria, daughter of John H. Jone?, of Cold Spring
Harbor, Long Island, became the wife of Mr. Moore. They celebrated
their golden wedding in 18S9. She died two years later. Two daugh-
ters survive them. One is the wife of Theophylact B. Bleecker, Esq., of
New York.
Early in 1865 Mr. and Mrs. Moore visited Europe for health, busi-
ness, and pleasure, and all the purposes of the visit were attained.
The death of Mr. Moore at his home in New York, December n,
1893, caused the expression of high esteem and regard from many sources
and organizations. The following from The Havens' Relief Fund So-
ciety may be presented in illustration : '■'■Resolved, that it is with deep
regret that we learn of the death of Charles B. Moore, one of the original
incorporators of this Society." "Endowed with a remarkably clear and
penetrating intellect, Mr. Moore invariably devoted his powers to the
furtherance of the interests of justice and equity, and in public affairs to
disinterested promotion of the public weal. His private life was pure,
unselfish, and irreproachable. As friend and adviser he was loyal and
sympathetic, and every trust undertaken by him was discharged as a
sacred duty."
At his funeral his home was filled with a choice and deeply sympathetic
company. The service of the Protestant Episcopal Church was read by
the Rev. William J. Seabury. The interment was made at Cold Spring
Harbor, by the side of the grave of Mrs. Moore.

KING'S (NOW COLUMBIA) COLLEGE AND ITS EARLIEST
ALUMNI.
By Richard H. Greene.
Read at a meeting of the Society, April 13, 1894.
I am asked to fill in a gap to-night, and, casting about for a subject, I
concluded, like everything else, to be in the fashion I should call it
Columbian. But as things are now traced to their origin I will ask you
to help me bring to light some of the beginnings of old King's College in
New York.
The college at Cambridge had stood for a century, and Yale for half
a century, when this colony raised the money for "encouragement of
learning and founding a college " by a public lottery under an Act of the
Legislature. King's College was not so favorably situated as Harvard
and Yale, controlled by Independents, or even New Jersey, by Presby-
terians ; those sects had thrown off Old-World domination in a Church
without a bishop, and were preparing for a State without a king. King's
College was under the English Church, and, even at the time of its
foundation, mutterings of the storm were heard. The Church as a class
adhered to the Crown, and while all New England was a unit for
maintaining their rights, first by arguments then by armaments, New
York was in doubt. The Presbyterians sided with the colonies ; the
Dutch had prospered, yet they did not love the King, but they dreaded a
conflict far more. Then there had been disputes of long standing with
New England. It was the culture of old Harvard and the common
schools of New England that first furnished the brains to unite the colonies
and oppose the mother country. Nor were the other schools and colleges
behind except in numbers. There were 56 signers of the Declaration of
Independence ; all the 5 from Massachusetts held diplomas from Har-
vard, besides 1 of Rhode Island's 2, and 1 of Connecticut's 4. Two
of Connecticut's, and 2 of New York's delegation, with 1 from Georgia,
were Yale men. Old Nassau had 1 in New Jersey and 1 in Pennsylvania.
Her president was a signer, and another graduate of Edinburgh signed
for Pennsylvania. The only signer from Maryland and 1 from New
Jersey were from the University of Pennsylvania. Cambridge, England,
lurnished 3. William and Mary claims 5 out of 7 from Virginia. So I
count 25 graduates among the 56 signers. The presence of a large
English army here from 1776 to 1783 closed the College in this city, and
the same fact overawed many who under other circumstances might have
been active with the colonists.
The first class entered in 1754 and graduated in 1758. At the first
examination for entrance the order was as follows : Samuel Verplanck,
first; Rudolph Ritzema, second; Philip Van Cortlandt, third ; then
Robert Bayard, who did not graduate ; Samuel Provost, fifth ; then two
who did not graduate ; then Thomas Marston and Henry Cruger, and
last, Joshua Bloomer. How often it happens that the first is last and the
last first ! It is literally fulfilled here, for the printed catalogue of gradu-
ates reads first Joshua Bloomer, and the last name is Samuel Verplanck.
124 King's [now Columbia) College. „ [Ju'v>
Two who graduated with them, Isaac Ogden and Joseph Reade, entered
later.
The presidency, during the entire period it existed under the Royal
charter, which named the managers, was held by loyalists, one of whom,
Myles Cooper, was forced to flee on that account in 1775 ; that was
before the advent of the Royal troops. His successor was of the same
kind, but was better supported. It was not until the city had been
evacuated by the enemy that the College, which had been closed in 1776,
was opened under a new charter, with its new name Columbia, and a
president who had sympathized with the colonies in the struggle for
independence — William Samuel Johnson, a graduate of Yale, formerly a
Connecticut lieutenant-colonel and a member of the Stamp Act Congress.
The first class graduated seven men, some of whom had been, a portion
of the time, at Princeton or Philadelphia.
1758.
Joshua Bloomer, the first name on the catalogue of graduates of 1758,
was captain in the provincial forces of the State from Westchester, raised
to go against Canada in the campaign of 1759 5 he was promoted to be
major, and participated the next year in that capacity. He then became
a merchant in New York, but gave it up in 1765 to go to England for the
purpose of studying divinity. He was appointed missionary at Jamaica,
Long Island, which included Flushing and Newtown, May 23, 1769, at
a salary of thirty pounds per annum. Small as that was he had to sue
them before he got it, by a decision in his favor April, 1774, each to pay
his own costs ; these amounted to eighty pounds, and Mrs. Tryon, the
wife of the governor and judge, presented this to him before she returned
to England. From the time he became rector till 1780 he kept no
records but marriages ; after that only baptisms and marriages.
In 1778 there was a lottery for raising seven hundred and eighty
pounds ior the church ; a farm was purchased with the money, but the
rector was not suited and it was offered for sale February, 1786 ; in this
he is described as at Newtown.
He had some trouble with the whigs at the beginning of the war, at
Newtown. It is said he administered the sacraments to four or five male
communicants, all the rest having been driven off or carried away prison-
ers, but the next year the British came, and then the tables were changed
and remained so until the end of the war. When the whigs directed him
to omit the prayer for the king he had decided to close the church rather
than comply, and this he carried out.
In 1780 he had an assistant, Reverend John Sayre, but the support
was withdrawn, and at the peace it ended. He received his A. M. prob-
ably in course, and S. T. D., 1790. He is one of three the date of
whose death is known at the College; the other four are not shown. He
died June 23, 1790, aged 55, unmarried and intestate. He was univer-
sally regretted, and was buried in the chancel of the church at Jamaica.
He was of large, commanding figure. His parentage is unknown ; he
may have been descended from Robert Bloomer, an early resident of
Rye, constable in 1697, townsman twenty-nine years. What can the
genealogist do with such a Melchisidec, " without father, without mother,
without descent"? I have often consideredj " Biographical '' a trouble-
1894.] King's {now Columbia) College. 12=;
some addition to our name, for every biography should give the parents
and children ; but if such as Bloomer were the rule only one life would
comprise it and one generation would end it. His record in the Alumni
Catalogue is comprised in nine words. Does he deserve more when the
only record he kept through his ministry was the marriages, but did not
get married himself? "It is not good for man to be alone," and for
many reasons.
Isaac Ogden did not enter at the first examination, but joined the
class later. His name is second in the general catalogue, which makes
him member of the Provincial Congress, New Jersey, 1755, which is im-
possible unless he was a colonial official before he went to college.
The line of descent in this case can be given. John Ogden was in
Stamford, Connecticut, 1641. He and his brother, 1642, contracted with
Governor Kieft, of New York, to build a stone church ; was a patentee of
Hempstead, Long Island, 1644 ; resident of Southampton, 1651 ; chosen
assistant 1656-60 ; named in the royal charter of 1662 and elected assist-
ant again that year, but removed to New Jersey where he made large
purchases with Governor Carteret ; was representative for Elizabethtown
in the first assembly of the colony, 1668, and died, 1681.
David, his son, married Elizabeth (Swayne), widow of Josiah Ward, and
daughter of Lieutenant Samuel Swayne, both of Branford, Connecticut,
and original settlers of Newark, New Jersey.
Their son was Colonel Josiah Ogden (1 680-1 763); he was member New
Jersey Provincial Congress, 1716, 1721 and 1738, and died May 16, 1763,
cet. 83. David, his eldest son (1707-98), graduated at Yale, 1728, mar-
ried Gertrude, daughter of Abraham Gouverneur, and granddaughter of
Jacob Leisler (who was executed). He read law in New York city, settled
in Newark, New Jersey, and was considered the head of the profession in that
colony. He was member of the King's Council, 1 75 1 , soon after Judge
Superior Court and Judge Supreme Court, 1772-77 ; at that time he was
forced to seek protection from the British in New York. In 1779 he be-
came a member of the Board of Refugees here. He drew a plan for royal
government of the colonies, which is interesting, but which fortunately
never materialized ; after the peace he went to England, where he repre-
sented the New Jersey loyalists, and also received twenty thousand pounds
sterling as compensation for his own losses. He returned in 1790 and set-
tled at Whitestone, Queen's County. Long Island, where he died in 1798,
?et. 93. He had eleven children ; two sons joined the colonists, one was
United States District Attorney by appointment of Washington, one set-
tled in Pennsylvania but has descendants here, one being the late distin-
guished David B. Ogden of our bar. Josiah Ogden Hoffman, Attorney-
General, New York, was also a grandson. He had also three sons who
were loyal to the King ; one was Isaac Ogden (David's third child), the
graduate of the earliest class at King's College. After graduation he
went to New York as a refugee from Newark. His letters to Galloway,
the Pennslyvania loyalist at London, show his feelings towards the rebels,
Presbyterians, and Governor Livingston. He married first, Mary, daugh-
ter of Reverend Isaac Brown, and second, Sarah Hanson. He went to
England when the war was over, and subsequently to Canada where he was
chosen Judge of the Supreme Court and held that office till his death.
He left descendants, of whom Peter became Governor in the service of
the North Pacific Company.

Samuel Provost was the third in the class. I need do no more than
allude to him, for one of our number has published the genealogy of
this family. Our president has given us the biography of the individual,
and his fine features adorn the Society's publication as a frontispiece.
The College was not ignorant of the facts and dates concerning the first
bishop of New York, and the record they publish is as follows :
"Samuel Provost (Rev.), A.M., A.B.. St. Peter's College, Cambridge
University, England, 1765 ; S. T. D., University of Pennsylvania, 1786 ;
Regent University, New York State, 1 784—1 787 ; trustee (College), 1 787—
1S01 ; chairman of board, 1 795-1 801 ; bishop Protestant Episcopal
Church, New York, 1 787—1 815 ; died 1815, Bet. 73." He was born in
New York city, February 26, 1742. Though educated at King's here,
and Cambridge, England, ordained both as deacon and priest abroad,
he came back to be a steadfast adherent of the rights of the colonists.
Such men need no biographer. I am reminded of the remarks concern-
ing James Boswell and Dr. Johnson. There the subject and the
biographer were each fortunate in the association with the other. My
part to-night is not to add to achieved glory, but to rescue from oblivion
what in the hurry and trouble of eventful times was lost or forgotten. I
may, however, add, of his four children two were girls : Susanna Eliza-
beth, married George Rapalje, Columbia, 1791, and Maria, married
Cadwalader D. Colden, Mayor, M.C., etc. ; John, the youngest son, died
early. These lines, I think, are extinct, but Benjamin Bousfield, the
third child, left numerous descendants.
Joseph Reade. — I am not surprised that the College knows so little of
him, and I am not prepared to say much with certainty. Sir William
Johnson, writing to the Earl of Hillsborough, 1771, speaks of the death
of Joseph Reade, Esq., one of his majesty's council ; that man was
councillor, 1764 to 1771, when he died. He may be the vestryman of
Trinity Church. I hardly think he was brother of John, owner of the
point called Reade Hook, which gave the name to the town. Reade
Street is named from the same family. I am doubtful if he was Master
in Chancery in New Jersey, as the catalogue siates ; more likely the
"attorney, late of New York, now of Westchester, " who, according to D.
W. de Peyster's affidavit, was " a great Tory ;" if so he did not die in 1771,
for that was September 10, 1776, then he could not be the King's
councillor. He might have been arrested by Sons of Liberty for dis-
loyalty and sent to Connecticut. There is so much of record about Joseph
Read, born. Trenton, New Jersey, 1 74 1 , who graduated at Princeton,
1757, admitted to bar, secretary New Jersey, and Surrogate of the Province,
and afterwards identified with Pennsylvania, member of Continental Con-
gress, and general in the Revolution. This man was as prominent as our
man was hidden. We may get a clew, but have not yet. Joseph Read,
named as a governor in the charter, is probably a relation, also Joseph,
whose daughter Sarah married James, son of Abraham de Peyster, in
1748. These may be the same person and the councillor.
Rudolphus Ritzema was born in Cullum, East Friesland, Holland ; his
father, with whom he came to the colony, was born in the same place
about 1708, and came in response to a call of the Dutch Church in New
Amsterdam, 1744 ; his wife, Hilletje Dyckstra, and three children accom-
panied him. Rudolphus was the eldest. Alida, his sister, was born
February 19, 1742 ; the other child was also a daughter. The Reverend
1894-] King's (fiow Columbia) College. i2y
Johannes Ritzema was senior minister of the Reformed Church, 1744-84,
and one of the original trustees of the College. He removed to Kinder-
hook after retiring from his charge and was there until his death, April
7, 1794, aged 86; his wife had died February 5, 1793, aged 85. After
he graduated Rudolphus was sent to Holland to study divinity, but he
gave up his studies and enlisted in a grenadier regiment of Frederick the
Great, of Prussia, who was in the seven years' war against Austria and the
other powers, a war in which people suffered greatly, but from which
the nation gained a first rank. In it Frederick II. won glory at every
turn. Rudolphus Ritzema is said to have been tall and commanding in
appearance. Everyone knows the partiality of Frederick for such soldiers
in his ranks. The peace of Hubertsberg in 1762 ended the campaign,
and his regiment was disbanded. It is probable he immediately returned
to this country and took up the study of the law. He married Annie
Porter and had a family. Four sons survived him, and his descendants
are said to be numerous. His sister, Alida Ritzema, mentioned before,
married Nicholas Bogart, who had been married before to Maria Quick,
and had eight children, of whom two sons lost their lives in the patriot
army of the Revolution. Nicholas and Aiida had thirteen children.
They lived on the west side of Broadway, between Cedar and Liberty
Streets. When the Asia fired on the city a shot passed through this
house above the bed where she was lying with her infant Cornelius
Bogart. Dominie Ritzema had two other children : Marie Wilhelmina,
born in Holland 1745, married Thomas Andrew Hoog and left descend-
ants ; his other son, David, born after reaching this city in 1751, died
in infancy. He had been admitted to the bar when the conflict with
the mother country began ; he was early and active among the Sons of
Liberty. In 1775 he commanded a fusileer company, which escorted the
New England delegates on their passage through New York to the Con-
tinental Congress. He was lieutenant-culonel under General Richard
Montgomery in the Canada campaign, and I have seen the statement
that he behaved badly under fire. His promotion had followed from his
experience in Frederick's army ; he was also one of the committee of
one hundred — the citizens' committee for the public defence.
When four regiments were authorized, June 30, 1775, the first was
officered by Alexander McDougall, Colonel Rudolphus Ritzema was
lieutenant-colonel, and Hermon Zedwitz was the first major. Mc-
Dougall was on duty from the first gathering of the Sons of Liberty till
the organization of the Order of the Cincinnati when the war ended.
Zedwitz on the contrary, like Ritzema, was a traitor. After the fall of
St. John's, Ritzema commanded the Third Regiment New York line.
At White Plains, September, 1776, he was commanding the regiment
with Frederick Weissenfels, who was first captain in June, 1775, as lieu-
tenant-colonel.
Here is what Philip Van Cortlandt says, speaking of the White
Plains battle and this regiment. It " was engaged under Lieutenant-
Colonel Weissenfels, Colonel Ritzema being absent four or five miles in
the rear, either from cowardice or disaffection, perhaps both, for he
shortly after discharged many of the men enlisted for the war, and
absconded himself, going to the enemy at New York." That is all
true, but " shortly after " may not give the correct idea. Ritzema was
court-martialled, and little was proven ; but subsequently he was tried
128 King's {now Columbia) College. [Jubr>
again, convicted and dismissed. I think this was in 1778 and that he had
absconded before that. He joined the enemy in New York, was author-
ized to raise a regiment, and subsequently received half pay, a sum of
money, and land in Nova Scotia from the King. Much has been at-
tempted in the way of patching up his reputation, but without success.
After he went to England he lived at York, and if any one is inclined to
disbelieve his treason to the colonies, here is the first clause of his last
will and testament, dated April 24, 1803 :
" I, Rodolphus Ritzema, of the city of Exeter, late lieutenant-colonel
commandant in his majestie's provincials in North America," etc.
He died at Harcross and was buried at Kent in May, 1803.
Philip Van Corilandt. — The pedigree of this family is well known.
The first, Steven, lived at Courtlandl, in South Holland. His son,
Oloff Stevenson, or Oloff Stevens van Kortlandt, as he signed his name
later, was born there about 1683. He was in the employ of the Dutch
West India Company, and emigrated to New Amsterdam, where he
built a brewery and prospered. In 1649 ne commanded the train
bands; was schepen 1654, burgomaster 1655; had seven children.
Stephen, the eldest, born May 7, 1643, married Gertrude Schuyler;
major 1677, member of the council and colonel of militia ; he had four-
teen children. Philip, born August 9, 1683, was the third son ; he
married, in 1709-10, Catharine de Peyster ; was councillor of the Prov-
ince under Governor Montgomerie, until his death, August 21, 1746 ;
they had six children. Stephen, born October 26, 17 10, married, 1738,
Mary Walton Ricketts ; of their three children the eldest was Philip, the
King's College graduate, who was born November 10, 1739; married
Catharine, daughter of Jacob Ogden of New Jersey. They had twenty-
three children. He is not to be confused with his uncle of similar name,
the patriot colonel, who became the ancestor of the Van Cortlandts of
Cortlandt Manor. He entered the British army as major of the Third
Battalion, New Jersey Loyal Volunteers. After the war his estates were
confiscated and he went to England. He died May 1, 1814, and was
buried at Harlsham, where a mural monument is erected. His sons
received commissions in the English army.
Samuel Verplanck was born in New York city, September 19, 1739 ;
his lather died when he was but 12 years old; he entered Kings 1754,
the first name on the list of candidates, and was admitted at the first
examination. At his graduation he was sent to his uncle, Daniel
Crommelin of Amsterdam, Holland. In his family he lived, and
married his daughter Judith, who was consequently his cousin, April 26,
1 76 1. He was in the banking house of his uncle and father-in-law
until 1763, when he returned to this city, to the Wall Street house, where
his father had resided, just east of the City Hall, the site of the United
States Bank and United States Assay Office. He began banking in New
York, was one of the founders of the Chamber of Commerce 1768, a
governor of the college 1770. His uncle, Philip Verplanck, member of
the Legislature from Cortlandt Manor, had been named in the charter,
and was a governor 1754 till his death, October 13, 1771. He was a
younger brother of Samuel's grandfather. I am doubtful if he was
whig or loyal. If he was the member of the Committee of Safety, New
York, 1775, it does not prove anything, especially as his name disappears
that year. Then, again, if he was a loyalist (as some say) there was no
1894.] King's (now Columbia) College. 1 29
Act of Forfeiture. Many patriots in '75 took the oath after the enemy
occupied New York and Long Island in 1776. His wife Judith died
September, 1803, leaving one son, Daniel Crommelin Verplanck, who
was born March 19, 1762 ; Columbia College, 17SS ; he married
Elizabeth, the daughter of the first president, William Samuel Johnson.
In the next generation the distinguished Gulian Crommelin Verplanck,
one of the best known of New Yorkers, entered Columbia at 11 years and
graduated 1801. We are fortunate in having two of this family among
our members.
This family is descended from Abraham Isaacsen or Abram Planck, as
he signed himself on the deed of Paulus Hook 1638 ; his son Gulian,
born January 1, 1637, married June 20, 1668, Hendritje VVessels ; his
eldest child, Samuel, born December, 1669, married Anantje Bayard.
His youngest child Gulian, born May 31, 1698, who married Mary
Crommelin, daughter of Charles of Amsterdam, was the father of the
graduate.
Samuel Verplanck removed to Fishkill, New York, 1804, to the house
of his son, called " Mount Gulian," where the Order of the Cincinnati
had been organized in 1783. There Samuel died June 27, 1820, in his
8 1 st year.
If I mark Verplanck doubtful, then we have 5 loyalists, and Bishop
Provost alone as a known patriot, in the first class which graduated at
King's College.
1759-
Efenelus Townsend was born at Cedar Swamp, near Oyster Bay, L. I.,
in April, 1742, received A. M. in course ; married Lucy Beach, September
10, 1769. Was ordained 1767, in the Church of England, by the Bishop
of London. His license is dated December 21, 1767. He was son of
Micajah, born 1699, inherited land at Cedar Swamp, L. I., bought of the
Indians by his ancestor Henry. Micajah was a whig. Married April 23,
1732, Elizabeth Piatt, who died May 16, 1759, and he married 2d
December, 1760, Meribah, daughter Joshua Townsend, who died soon,
and he then married Anne, widow Geo. Frost. He died November 9,
1 781. His children by the first wife were Piatt, Epenetus, Jotham and
Micah. This family came from Norwich, Norfolk County, England.
Henry, the emigrant, got a patent for Flushing from Governor Kieft,
afterwards settled at Oyster Bay, where he got a mill grant ; his son John
inherited this, and was known as John at the Mil!. He married Esther
Smith, and died March 9, 1705. His son was Micajah above. Epenetus
was inducted over the church at Salem, N. Y., May 29, 1768. He was
loyal to the Crown and was arrested more than once, and was ordered to
leave when he refused allegiance to the colony. He left the country in
1779, bound for Nova Scotia, but never arrived, for he and his entire
family were lost on the passage. His children were Epenetus, born
October 31, 1770 ; Lucy, born November 3, 1772 ; Micajah and John,
twins, born June 28, 1775.
William Hanna was educated at Nottingham, Md., then assistant at
school in Pequea, Pa., graduated at Kings 1759, A. M. 1765. Licensed
to preach by the Litchfield, Conn., Presbytery, May 28, 1760; became
pastor of 1st Presbyterian Church, Albany, N. Y., 1763. He received
j -20 King's {now Columbia) College. [Ju^7>
an honorary A. M. from Yale, 1768. In 1765 his church had asked his
dismission, because he had accepted a civil office from the Government.
In May, 1767, he writes Sir William Johnson that he has attended at Mr.
Silvester's office in Albany to learn the formalities and proceedings of the
courts and got his license. Then he went to Schenectady to settle. He
did not succeed at the bar, and 1771 we hear of him applying to be
admitted to orders in the Church of England. Sir William Johnson
presented his claims to Dr. Auchmuty, who replied he had informed
himself about the gentleman ; "his moral character formerly was good,
but since he has commenced law it is altered." Then advises that
he get recommendations to Lord Baltimore, who can provide for him at
a distance from his old friends the Dissenters, &c. Then he went
to Baltimore, was furnished letters to Colonel Washington, and went to
Virginia. There his reception was favorable. He went thence to
England, and the Bishop of London ordained him June i45 1772.
Fifteen months later Rev. William Andrews writes from Williamsburg,
Virginia : " He still remains unprovided,*" and adds, "his character is
not known here, nor have I been so uncharitable as to acquaint the
clergy with it. It is his want of powers to please that has hitherto been
the obstacle to success." Again he disappears, and leaves no clue to his
whereabouts.
1760.
Samuel Bayard, Jr., born in 1740, married Catharine Van Home,
April 26, 1778, Deputy Secretary of the colony of New York, before the
Revolution, Deputy Register of the Ordinary and Prerogative Court, July,
1774. He sent a memorial to the King in behalf of himself and others,
1774. After General Charles Lee took command at New York, 1776,
Samuel was made a prisoner under guard at the house of Nicholas
Bayard. He entered the service of the Crown and was commissioned
February 9, 1 781, major in the King's Orange Rangers. He died in
1816, aged 76.
Nicholas Bayard, the ancestor, came with Stuyvesant. His uncle was
prominent in the colony, and held many high offices. He was a
member of the Governor's council, and when Leisler came into power
he was banished. He returned later, was reinstated in office, and
helped to bring Leisler to the scaffold 1702. Afterwards the adherents of
Leisler had Bayard condemned to death for treason, but by a change in
the political rulers he escaped. He died leaving a widow, Judy, and son
Samuel, married to Margaret, daughter of Stephanus Van Cortlandt, who
inherited his large property, and died September, 1745. His children,
besides seven daughters, were Nicholas, who married a daughter of Peter
V. B. Livingston, and Samuel, the graduate's father. He died in 1784.
Samuel went to Nova Scotia, and his estates were confiscated.
Anthony Hoffman, son of Colonel Martinus, born August 1, 1739,
married Mary Rutgers of New York, daughter of Harman. Her two
sisters married Jacob Le Roy, her brother's partner ; she was, therefore,
great-aunt of Mrs. Daniel Webster. Their daughter, Eliza Hoffman,
married her kinsman. Nicholas G. Rutgers, whom she survived. They
had no children. She lived in New Brunswick, N. J. Colonel Martin
Hoffman resided at Red Hook, and was delegate to the New York

Provincial Congress 1775—6—7. Anthony received his master's degree, and
was Regent New York University 1784-87. He was elected to the New
York Legislature 1783.
Philip Livingston, son of Peter Van Brugh, who was brother of Philip
Livingston, the signer of the Declaration of Independence, was born
November 3, 1740 ; was secretary to Sir Henry Moore, Governor of New
York. His sympathies were with the mother country, and after the war
he went to England and remained many years. After he returned he
married in New York, October 7, 1790, Cornelia, daughter of Daniel
Van Home. He was trustee 1797-1806, and died in 1810, leaving four
sons : i. Peter Van Brugh, U. S. Charge d'Affaires to Ecuador 1848 ; ii.
Philip, died unmarried ; iii. Richard, U. S. N. , unmarried ; iv. Charles
Ludlow, Speaker New York Legislature, 1832-3 ; senator 1834-7.
John Marston was born New York, December 5, 1740. He was
admitted at the first examination in 1754, when only 13, but did not
remain. He graduated with the class of 1760 ; this and the taking of
his second degree is all the catalogue tells us of him. He was son of
Nathaniel Marston, a governor of the College named in the charter, a
wealthy merchant, and Mary CosJ? or Crooks his wife. His father,
Nathaniel, born New York March 27, 1704, was a vestryman of Trinity
Church 1731 ; warden 1770. He owned the privateer Peggy in the
French War, 1756 ; and bought a farm in Harlem, which he left to
his sons, Thomas and John. The latter was the graduate. He married
Rachel Laurence of Philadelphia, June 7, 1768. Thomas married 1759
Cornelia, sister of Anthony and Leonard Lispenard, in the next
succeeding class. Their eldest sister, Margaret, had married the Hon.
Philip Philips ; and an older brother, Nathaniel, had a daughter, who
married Captain Fred Philipse of the British army. The brothers,
Thomas, who was the 3d child, and John, who was the 6th, are in some
doubt as to their position on the question of loyalty to England. They
were both, however, members of the committee of 100 in New York city,
May, 1775. John and Rachel had 5 children : i. Mary, born November
8, 1768, married ^Thomas White; ii. Nathaniel, born May 21, 1770; he
went to England ; iii. Rachel, born October 3, 1771 ; iv. Thomas, born
October 2, 1773, never married ; v. John, born September 3, 1775,
married Mrs. Margaret Yates, nee Winthrop, the only family which left
descendants of the name in this country, the other brother, who married,
having gone abroad. This family traces back to Nathaniel of Leicester,
England, born about 1600, emigrated to Long Island 1639, bringing a
son, John, who married about 1657 Anna Legg. Their son Nathan-
iel, born at Flushing or New York 1665, was an original vestryman of
Trinity Church, named in the charter 1697, and active till 1 73 1 . His
wife was Margaret Hardenbrook. He died in 1737. His son Nathaniel
was the grandfather of John, as shown above.
Robert Walls, son of Hon. John, member of King's Council (175 7—
1775) and Ann de Lancey, was born August 23, 1743 ; married Mary
Alexander, daughter of William, Lord Sterling. John (King's 1766)
was his brother. Their descent was from Robert, who married Mary,
daughter of Wm. Nicoll of Long Island, and lived at Rose Hill, through
his son John, born New York 1715, married 1742 Ann de Lancey. He
went to England 1779. His property was confiscated, but afterwards
was conveyed to his sons Robert and John, the graduates. Pie died in
I -? 2 King's (nozu Columbia) College. [Jub'>
Wales aged 59, 1789. Besides these he had a son Stephen and four
daughters. Robert lived in New York, and his name was in the
directory in 1790, but afterwards removed to Philadelphia, and died there.
The children of Robert and Mary Alexander Watts were : i. Sarah Maria,
married twice, but died without issue ; ii. Anne, born January 22, 1780,
married John Watts Kearney, had eleven children ; iii. Catharine, married
Henry, son of Thomas Barclay (King's 1772), no children ; iv. Robert,
born September 19, 1784 (Columbia 1803), no children ; v. John, born
1786 (Columbia 1804), married Anna, daughter of John Rutherford, five
children.
Isaac Wilkins was born in the year 1741 in Jamaica, W. I. After
graduation he was elected to the New York Assembly 1772-75, from
Borough of Westchester. In 1775 he went to England ; returned in
1776 and settled in Long Island. He explained his position in a letter
in 1775 as follows : " I leave America and every endearing connection,
because I will not raise my hand against my sovereign, nor will I draw
my sword against my country. When I can conscientiously draw it in
her favor, my life shall be cheerfully devoted to her service." He was
banished, his writings dressed in tar and buzzard feathers and burned, and
he retired to Shelburne, Nova Scotia. In the year 1798 he returned, was
ordained deacon and settled over St. Peter's parish in Westchester county,
1799, where he continued until his death. Great Britain gave him an
annuity on account of his loyalty, of ^125. He died in Westchester,
February 15, 1830, aged 89.
1 761.
Henry Van Dyck was a minister and loyalist. He left the country
after the Peace, and in 1784, by act of New York legislature, was permitted
to return. He died in 1804, aged 60.
Anthony Lispenard^ son of Leonard who was a member of the Stamp
Act Congress in 1765, the New York Provincial Congress in May, 1775,
and called Colonel in the records of July and August ; and Eliza Rutgers,
daughter of Anthony. Anthony Lispenard was the eldest son, baptized at
Reformed Dutch Church, New York, December 8, 1742, merchant. He
had extensive breweries also on the Greenwich Road, near Canal Street.
He married his cousin, Sarah Barclay. They had a son, Anthony, whose
portrait is in the Record, July, 1793, and Thomas, both bachelors. Their
eldest son, Leonard, married Anna Dorothea, daughter of Theophylact
Bache. Anthony died in 1806, aged 64. The political position of
Anthony and his brother Leonard in the next class is alluded to by John
Moore, in December, 1775, in notes of political sentiments of his social
club, thus : " These brothers are of doubtful loyalty to the Crown, but are
remaining quiet at New York."
Henry Holland, the third and only other graduate of 1 76 1, "a lawyer
and Master in Chancery in New York. Received degree of A. M."
according to the catalogue ; but the Henry Holland, Master in Chancery,
was appointed May 20, 1743, was baptized at Albany May 1, 1704, and
was over 70 when the American army came to New York, when he left and
soon died. I believe this Henry Holland was a merchant and not a
lawyer. He lived at the south end of Staten Island. He was elected
representative for Richmond County in the Legislature 1761-69, after
1894.] Genealogical Notes on the Quackenbos Family,

which, in consideration of the exertions of the members of St. Andrew's
Church in his behalf, he presented the church with a bell and two silver
collection plates. I think Henry, born 1704, was the Master, and the
graduate was Henry, son of Edward the Mayor, who was born 1702. The
the father of the former was Captain Henry from Ireland, who commanded
garrison at Albany. Another of his sons, Edward, was Master and Mayor
at Albany, and later in New York and one of the council. He died while
Mayor of New York, November 10, 1756, before Henry entered college.
His will, signed just before his death, gives " Henry not yet of age,"
a tract of land in Albany County. Henry Holland of the second
generation of that family married Alida Beekman, 14 December, 1728.

1806.
May 26. At Oysterponds, on 20th ulto., Deborah, wife of Mr. Jeremiah
King. In justice to the deceased it may be remarked that trib-
ulation ^distinguished her for its victim. She was the mother
of nine sons whom she lived to see arrive to a state of man-
hood and conducting business in the most active stations,
hut six fell victims to death ere she was called to yield her
life, not one of whom she had the mournful privilege to
attend in the last struggle. Through many afflictions may
we doubt not she entered the haven of eternal rest.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY.
April 13th. The meeting held on the evening of this day was very largely at-
tended, and two very interesting and valuable papers were read : one by Richard
Henry Greene, the Librarian of the Society, on " King's ( now Columbia) College, and
its Earliest Alumni," and the other by Joseph O. Brown on "The Bermuda Islands
and their Connection with New York.'' Both papers were listened to with much in-
terest, and were requested for publication in the Record. Mr. Brown's paper was
rendered pathetically notable by the fact that it was the last one written by him, his
death occurring soon after, on the 5th of May. His loss will be deeply felt by the
Society, for he was one of its earlier and most valued members. A short obituary
sketch of him will be found in this number of the Record. At this meeting, George
H. Comstock, of Mechanicsburg, Pa., and Mrs. 'William H. McCartney, of Wilkes-
barre, Pa., were elected resident members of the Society.
April 27th. Business meeting, at which the following gentlemen were elected
resident members : Frederick A. Pell, Rev. Charles Russell Treat, Hon. William R.

May nth. After the usual routine business and the passage of resolutions, in-
troduced by Edmund Abdy Hurry, upon the death of Joseph O. Brown, the Society
listened to an able paper by Marcius D. Raymond, of Tarrytown, N. Y. , on "Col.
William Stephens Smith, Washington's aide-de-camp, and his wife, Abigail Adams,
the daughter of President John Adams." This very interesting historical sketch will
appear in a future number of the Record.

Sunol's Statue of Columbus Unveiled. — Ten years ago, while walking in
the Prado of Madrid, Gen. James Grant Wilson, President of the New York Genea-
logical and Biographical Society, suddenly came upon the celebrated statue of Colum-
bus by the Spanish sculptor, Sunol. The beauty and force of the work, and the
evident genius of the artist, struck him at once, and he straightway resolved that New
York city should have a statue of Columbus by the same artist. • .
Saturday, May 12, was set. for the unveiling of that statue on the Mall in
Central Park by the Vice-President of the United States, Adlai Ewing Stevenson.
An elaborate programme was arranged for the event, in which a distinguished com-
pany of men prominent in the diplomatic, political, social, and business worlds were
invited to participate. Some of the party came on from Washington in a private car,
and were entertained by the Committee at the Plaza Hotel. In their honor several
elaborate entertainments were given. The party which arrived from Washington con-
sisted of Vice-President and Mrs. Stevenson, Baron de Fava, the Italian Ambassador,
and Baroness de Fava, and Senor Don E. de Muruaga, the Spanish Minister. The
Committee of Arrangements comprised General Wilson, chairman ; Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Henry G. Marquand, William R. Grace, James J. Goodwin, Thomas L.
James, and Charles F. Cox> William Waldorf Astor was another of the com-
mittee. At 1.30 the first event of the day was arranged to occur. This was a
formal breakfast given by General and Mrs. Wilson to their guests from Wash-
ington. Others bidden were Bishop Potter, Chauncey M. Depew, Gen. O. O.
Howard. Admiral Gherardi, A. Lowden Snowden, ex-Minister to Spain ; Mrs. Julia
Ward Howe, and the members of the committee. At 2.45 eight carriages were
ordered to convey the party to Central Park. A platoon of twelve mounted police
was assigned as escort to the distinguished guests. A stand had been built around
the statue to accommodate General Wilson's party and other invited guests. Com-
pletely swathed in flags the statue stood hidden from sight. A cord was so arranged
that a slight pull from Vice-President Stevenson's hand would expose the whole to
view in a moment. The artist's creation is of the .fame size as the Ward statue of
Shakespeare, which stands about two hundred and fifty feet away in a direct line on
the Mall. For the actual ceremony of unveiling, fixed for 3 o'clock, an elaborate
programme was arranged as follows :
General Wilson, President of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, will take
the chair as presiding officer.
Prayer, by Dr. Henry C. Potter, Bishop of New York.
The Vice-President of the United States will unveil the statue and present it, on behalf of the
subscribers, to the city of New York.
Acceptance of the statue and response, by his Honor the Mayor of the city.
A letter from the Duke of Veragua, the descendant of Columbus, will be read by Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Esq.
Address, by Baron de Fava, Ambassador from Italy.
Poem, "A Mariner's Dream," by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe.
Address, by Senor Don Muruaga, Minister from Spain.
Oration, by the Hon. Chauncey M. Depew.
General Wilson on taking the chair delivered a few remarks on the history of the
statue. After the bishop's prayer the unveiling was to be done by Vice-President
Stevenson. His remarks in the way of presenting it to the city were informal, as
were Mayor Gilroy's in accepting it. Mr. Vanderbilt then read the letter from the
Duke of Veragua, and also letters from Governor Flower and Robert C. Winthrop,
of Massachusetts, the oldest honorary member of our Society.
The statue, in whose honor all this was done, is the Spanish sculptor Jeronomo
Sunol's best work. It was ordered by General Wilson after he had seen one in
Madrid, by the same artist. While not alike in details, the Central Park statue is
1894.] Notes and Queries. 141^
somewhat similar to the one in Madrid. Sunol considers it an improvement. The
statue cost about $15,000, and was paid for by citizens of New York in $100 subscrip-
tions. It is of bronze, in heroic size, and is mounted on a pedestal, harmonious in
tone and design, which is the work of Napoleon Le Biun of this city. Columbus is
represented in the act of landing and returning thanks to God for his safe voyage.
Attired in his famous coat of scarlet, ermine edged, with a heavy chain and pendant
about his neck, the discoverer is represented as holding the Spanish standard in the
right hand, while the other is extended in invocation. On the ground at his right is
a coil of rope, on which is poised a globe. The left leg is drawn back, while the
right is advanced. The type of the head is the familiar, smooth-shaven one seen so
often in pictures of Columbus, with the high, retreating brow, long hair, and clean-
cut features. The lips are half open, as if to speak, and the eyes seem almost to
express in cold metal the devout thanksgiving of the great discoverer. All who have
been privileged to see the statue before its unveiling have unhesitatingly pronounced
it a work of genius. Among Spanish sculptors Sunol has no equal. This statue
is his latest and best piece of work.
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe's spirited poem, " The Mariner's Dream," and Chauncey
M. Depew's brilliant oration concluded the interesting exercises. W.
Old Wills, New York, Kings, Queen's Counties. — In the search for an old
will I have had an experience, the statement of which may be helpful to other persons.
In the office of the Clerk of the Court of Appeals, at Albany, is an index of wills,
labeled " 1662 to 1783," "Secretary's Office." Under the letter H, which I was exam-
ining, were wills grouped under certain years specified, from 1662 to 1776, and after
them a group of seven without any date, and in the margin of that group appeared
the words " Not recorded." One of the seven is identified as of Jan. 10, 1715. Of
this will more is stated below.
In the same office is an index labeled "Court of Probate," "Index of Wills."
Under the letter H. extending from 1679-80 to 1799, is a will mentioned, of which the
original is still in that office ; and yet it is recorded in the office of the Surrogate of
the County of New York, probably from an authenticated copy. And the index led up
to an authenticated copy of another will, of which also there is a record in New York.
There is a third book consisting of a list of wills, etc., not arranged alphabetically
nor chronologically ; over two hundred pages, twenty-five items to the page, over five
thousand wills. The entries in the book begin as follows : " A List of Wills, Receipts
for Wills, Administration Bonds, Inventories, etc., relative to the Southern District
of the State of New York, heretofore filed in the Probate Office of the said State,
delivered by the Judge of Probate thereof to the Surrogate of the City and County of
New York, in pursuance of an Act of the Legislature passed the Thirtieth day of
March, 1799. as per receipt subscribed by the said Surrogate at the end hereof."
Then follows a specification of the wills, and of a book described as follows : " A
book containing a List of Wills proved in the Prerogative Office in the City of New
York, begun in the year 1759, and ending in the year 1763." Then follows the receipt,
without date, signed by the Surrogate, who elsewhere appears to have been in office
in 1 801, and again at a later date, in the terms following : " New York Surrogate's
Office, ss. Received from Leonard Gansevoort, Esq., Judge of the Court of Probate
of the State of New York, all the Wills, Receipts for Wills, Inventories, and part of
the Administration Bonds belonging to the Southern District of the State, agreeably
to the preceding entry made thereof. Sylvanus Miller."
In this " List" is mentioned the Will of 171 5, referred to above ; also a Will of
Feb. 3, 1706-7, which does not appear in either of the indices mentioned above,
unless it be the one in the index first named, as proven in 1742, which seems incredi
ble. Neither of these wills is to be found in the index in the Surrogate's office, New
York. Nor did a search, will by will, in the Libers 7 and 8, which should have in-
cluded them, bring them to light ; nor did a search among the bundles of original
wills have any better result. The Surrogate of New York acknowledged receipt of
them, but they are not to be found.
Resort was then had to the office of the Registrar of Deeds, with no better
result. Then to the County Clerk's office, where two books of wills, without indices,
were found, beginning with 17S7 ; and a third book in another room, the particulars
of which I did not note.
Mr. Barbour, of the office of the Clerk of the Court of Appeals; Messrs. Wash-
burn and Marsac of the Surrogate's office, and Messrs. Sucully and Whalen of the
County Clerk's office, gave every facility. R. w.

Searing. — In a burial place on the farm of the late David Williams, of Searing-
town, Queens Co., L. I., there is a nicely lettered memorial stone, in a good state of
preservation, having on it this inscription :

Aged 62 Years.
This is the only stone in the now deserted burial place. Thompson, in his

The Provincial Flag of Pennsylvania. — The Pennsylvania Gazette of January
12 and April 16, 1748, gives a description of devices which Dr. Benjamin Franklin
says (in his Autobiography) that he furnished for flags for the " Associators " of
1747, in Philadelphia. {Vide Sparks' Franklin, p. 146, for details.)
No mention is made, in either issue, of the color of the silks upon which these
devices were painted. Can any reader of the Record put me in the way of finding
out the color of the silk, especially that of the flag with device No. 1, " a lion erect,

a daughter, Joanna Walker, born probably about 1675, who married a Mr. Odell.
Orcutt's History of Stratford calls him Samuel Odell, and fixes the date of
marriage as before 1702; but Mrs. Schenck's History of P'airfield names him as John

OBITUARIES.
Cotheal. — Alexander Isaac Cotheal was born in the city of New York, on the
5th of November, 1804, of an ancient family, the records of which run back as
far as 1353. Educated at the Broad Street Academy and at Pickett's school, he
manifested a great aptitude for mathematics and languages, as well as an earnest
interest in mechanical pursuits. Strangely enough, he declined to enter Columbia
College, but associated himself with the shipping house of his father and uncle as the
Spanish and French correspondent of the firm, of which he became a partner in 1S36.
His marvelous interest in the Arabic language owes its origin to the presence of the
Arab ship " Sultanee, " which lay in the harbor of New York in 1840, and to which
he made frequent visits. During his sojourn in Zanzibar and Mozambique, whither
he went in 1851, to establish a trading factory, he further perfected himself in the
study of Oriental tongues. In 1S52 he went to Nicaragua, and in 1877 was ap-
pointed Consul-General to that State, where he interested himself in its ethnology,
and especially in the study of the language of the Mosquito Indians, the results of
which study were printed in the Transactions of the American Ethnological Society
in 1S4S. He also devised and prepared a system of coinage for the State of Nicara-
gua.
In 1842, chiefly by his zeal and enthusiasm, the " American Ethnological
Society " was instituted, and of the original thirteen members he was the sole sur-
vivor. Its meetings were held at his hospitable residence, and for many years he was
its Treasurer. In 1872 he was elected as first Vice-President, and on the 13th of
February, 1S74, he became its President, filling the office continuously for twenty
years, and occupying its chair till the day of his decease.
He was also a moving spirit in the " American Oriental Society," devoting him
self especially to the study of Arabic and cognate languages, the fruits of which
remain in his translation of the rare Arabic text of " Attaff the Generous."
Although weak in body from an accident that befell him in childhood, and bent with
age, he was strong and vigorous in mind, and spent the later years of his life in his
well-stored library, in patient research and quiet study, until in the ripeness of years
he passed from the toils of a well-spent life to his eternal rest on the 25th of Febru-
ary, 1894, the last man of his race who bore the name of Cotheal.
He was for several years Treasurer of the New York Genealogical and Biographi-
cal Society, having been elected a member in 1878.
Although possessed of an unusual wealth of learning on many subjects, he was
always modest and retiring, ready to put his knowledge at the service of anyone who
required it. He will live in memory as the model of an earnest and enthusiastic
scholar, as well as of an honorable Christian gentleman.
WILLIAM H. VIBBERT, D.D.
King. — David King, Esq., of Newport, R.I., died in Washington, D.C., 8 March,
1894, after a brief illness. Mr. King was born in Newport, in 1840, and was son of
Dr. David King, a distinguished physician of that place, whose father was Dr. David
King, of Raynham, Mass.
148 Book Notices. [Ju'y>
The earliest known ancestor of the family in this country was Lieut. Philip King,
of Taunton, Mass. (now Raynham), who was Representative in 1695 and Justice of
the Peace. Through this Philip1 King, whose wife was Judith, daughter of the Rev.
William Whitman, the descent of David King, deceased, may be traced in the
line of John- and Alice (Dean) King, of Taunton, David3 and Rebecca (Dean) King,
of Taunton, Lieut. Job4 and Zippora (Williams) King, of Taunton, Dr. David5 and
Ann (Gordon) King, of Raynham, and Dr. David6 and Sarah (Wheaton) King, of
Newport.
This last-mentioned gentleman's younger son was David7 King of Newport, and
the subject of this obituary.
He entered Harvard University in 1S57, but left before finishing his course, and
went to China in 1859, where he became a partner in the firm of Russell & Co.,
and remained there until 1872. Mr. King was Assistant Commissioner of the United
States to the Paris Exposition in 1889, and held other positions of trust. He
resided in Washington during part of each year, but was much interested in the
prosperity of Newport, where he owned a summer home. He was a Governor of the
Newport Casino, a Trustee of the Newport Hospital, and a Director of the Redwood
Library.
Mr. King was twice married, first to Miss Helen Van Cortlandt Morris, daughter
of Richard Lewis Morris, Esq., of Pelham, N. Y., and second to Miss Ella Rives,
daughter of Francis R. Rives, Esq., of New Hamburgh, N. Y.
Mr. King's widow and two children, a son and a daughter, survive him. His will,
dated 19 July, 1878, mentions his daughter, Maud Gwendolen, his brother William
De Hon King, and four sisters, Mrs. William H. Birckhead, Ann King, Mrs. S. W.
Pomeroy, and Georgiana Gordon King.
The name of the testator's son (Philip) does not appear in the will, as he was not
born when the document was executed.
Mr. King was buried in Newport. r. k.
Brown. — Joseph Jauncey Outerbridge Brown was the son of Erastus Fitch
Brown and Sarah Jauncey Ketchum, and was born in Bermuda, October 30, 1827.
At the age of thirteen he came to New York and entered the office of the law firm of
Adriance and Ketchum, with whom he remained until he began business for himself
in April, 186S. He directed his attention especially to real estate, concerning which
his opinion was constantly sought by members of the legal profession and others.
There are few authorities on titles to New York property, and particularly to that
situated on the northern half of Manhattan Island, whose opinions were more re-
spected and acquiesced in than those of Mr. Brown. His genial countenance will
long be remembered at his old-fashioned law office in Nassau Street. His last public
appearance was on April 15, when he delivered an admirable address before the New
York Genealogical and Biographical Society on " The Bermuda Islands and their Con-
nection with New York."' He died suddenly of neuralgia of the heart at his home on
upper Fifth Avenue, May 5, 1894, and was buried at Colchester, Conn. Mr. Brown was
among the oldest surviving members of our Society, having been elected in 1872, and
also among those most deeply interested in its welfare. He was for several years
secretary of the Society, and also served as librarian and as trusstee. He married
Miss Parsons, of Colchester, who, with four children, still survives him. w.

really magnificent work — a monument of care, patience and ability. It must rank
among, if not with, the first of American genealogies. It was designed at first by the
author to write up simply his own line, but the work grew on his hands until he has
made a full and complete record of the entire Treat family.
The earliest records are those of John Trott,of Staplegrove, near Taunton in Eng-
land, the grandfather of Richard Trott, from whom the line of descent can be traced
without any difficulty. His name occurs in the calendar of the Taunion Manor Roles.
145s, 1463. 1473, 1479. He was probably the father of William Trott, whose name
occurs in these calendars as of the same parish and hundred of Staplegrove, 1503,
1504, 1510. In this country the name of Richard Trott (Robert, Richard, William,
John) first occurs in 1641, in the entry of certain lands in Wethersfield, in his name.
He came to New England as early as 1639. His youngest child, Katharine, was bap-
tized in Pitminster, Eng., June 29, 1637. His family consisted of a wife and nine chil-
dren— three sons and six daughters. He was born, 15S4, in Pitminster, died, 1669-70, in
Wethersfield, Conn., married Alice Gaylard, April 27, 1615. The three sons of Richard
are taken as founders of separate families, and their issue herein recorded, viz.: of
Richard, pp. 35-129 ; of Robert, pp. 130-1S4; and of James, pp. 488-533. Robert
Treat, of all the characters in this history, stands out in the grandest relief. Every
honor that was possible was given him, both under the New Haven and the Con-
necticut colony. His history is that of the Colonial War during its most heroic period.
He was the commander-in-chief of the Connecticut forces in the great swamp fight ;
in 1676 deputy governor, and in 1683 Governor of Connecticut. He served in
that place fifteen years, retired from old age, and died July, 12, 1710, aged eighty-
eight years. His history in Newark has never been fully written. He headed the
forty-one brave men from Milford, who, with twenty-three others from Branford,
founded the colony at Newark in 1666. In the division of the land Treat received
two acres more than any of the others on account of his distinguished services. He was
burgess or deputy at the first provincial assembly, holding that for five years. He was
the first town clerk, and occupied various other positions of trust in the town.
In 1672 he returned to Connecticut, leaving his daughter Mary, the wife of
Azariah Crane, who inherited the valuable property referred to, being eight acres
extending from Broad Street to Mulberry Street, and south to that amount of land,
about the most valuable property in Newark to-day. The descendants of this Crane
are those of this name who have inhabited what is now Montclair, giving to it its solid
character. He also left his son John at Newark, who married Sarah Tichenor ; was
a justice " to keep the peace"' in the county of Essex under Cornbury ; in 1709 was
representative of Essex in the Assembly, when one qualification was 1,000 acres or
£s°° i'1 personal estate ; in 1712 was presiding judge in court ; in 1713 was Major
Treat. He died August 1, 1714, leaving his estate to his daughter Sarah, who mar-
ried Jonathan Crane, who was the son of the distinguished Jasper Crane and Joanna
Swaine, daughter of Captain Swaine, an officer in the Colonial War. Descended
from Sarah was the late Alfred C. Post, surgeon of this city, and also Dr. Gabriel
Grant, who served during the late war as surgeon of volunteers, and is now a mem-
ber of this society. G. G.
History of the Moore Family, and an account of their reunion in 1890.
By David Fellows Moore, under the direction of the Historical Committee ; with a
Genealogical Record by Charles Church Moore. Royal Svo, pp. 409. Binghamton,
Samuel P. Moore, 1893.
The ideal family history has yet to be written, but the compilers of this work have
done much towards its production. Unlike many similar works, it is the result
of concerted action by the widely scattered members of the family, intelligently
directed. The outcome is a history replete with interest. The family thus honored
is the family of John Moore, of Forres, and Betty Taylor, his wife, of the neighbor-
ing town of Elgin, Elginshire, Scotland, who emigrated to America in 1772, and
after the Revolution settled at Moresville, Delaware Co., N. Y. Twelve hundred
and sixteen of his descendants are traced, with one hundred and sixty-seven bio-
graphical sketches among which there is an excellent one of Jay Gould, the Ameri-
can financier, prepared by his sister, Mrs. Sarah B. Northrop, of Camden, N. J.
There is a complete family chart, a connected genealogy, a copious index, and over
one hundred illustrations.
There is also a history of the Moore family in Scotland, and of the old home at

The First Presbyterian Church of Paterson, N. J. Records of Trustees
and Session. Compiled and edited by William Nelson. Svo, pp. 482. Paterson,
N. J., 1893.
This is not a history of the above-named church, but a publication of the Minutes
of the Board of Trustees, from 1813 to 1891, of miscellaneous documents connected
with the history of the church, and of the Minutes of the Session from 1S13 to 1892,
with a full index, and notes making plain the text. The value of such works to the
local historian can scarcely be estimated. They give us knowledge of those whose
lives have moulded the character of cities, towns, and villages, but of whom, as of the
great majority of mankind, there is no trumpet-tongued fame.
" Noble deeds are held in honor, but the wide world sorely needs
Hearts of patience to unravel this, the worth of common deeds."
Every church owes it to those who have given it a name and a place on the earth,
or who have nurtured and maintained its life, to put the records of the past in
permanent form through the labors of the printing press. The amount of information
concerning individuals, such as is needed for local and family histories, that is now
hidden in church records that are rapidly perishing, is well-nigh incalculable. If in
rescuing from destruction the records of the church he has served for years Mr.
Nelson shall incite others to perform a similar work, he will receive the thanks, in
ages to come, of all who are interested in historical research and the simple annals
of mankind. F. W. W.
Genealogy of the Pelton Family in America. Being a record of the
descendants of John Pelton, who settled in Boston, Mass., about 1630-1632, and
died in Dorchester, Mass., January 23, i68r. By Jeremiah M. Pelton. Joel Mun-
sell's Sons, Albany, N. Y., 1892.
Too much praise cannot be accorded to Mr. Pelton for the extremely thorough
manner in which he has compiled this history of his family. More than a thousand
names are introduced, and in a valuable appendix of one hundred pages is given
an index of the males born in the name of Pelton, an index of females born in the
name of Pelton, an index of surnames other than Pelton, and an index of names of
places mentioned in the work of upwards of seven hundred octavo pages. There are
nineteen well-executed portraits included in the portly volume. To a member of the
Pelton family and a niece of Samuel J. Tilden the city of New York is under great
obligations. Mrs. Hazard inherited $3,000,000 from his estate, and voluntarily
released two-thirds of that large amount, enabling the Tilden trustees to establish the
Free Library he intended to give to the city. w.
Mather Genealogy. Lineage of the Rev. Richard Mather. By Horace
E. Mather, of Hartford, Conn. Press of The Case, Lockwood & Brainard Co.. of
Hartford, 1890. Sq. Svo, cloth, pp. 540, with illustrations.
This book is an excellent example of the work of the genealogical student. The
author, like many others, commenced with the simple desire to know something about
his family ; his interest grew with his task through thirteen years of work, and he
certainly has gathered a vast amount of valuable data. The Rev. Richard Mather,
the first of the family in America, was a man of strong personality, which has made
its impression upon many of his descendants, over eighty of whom, like himself, have
been numbered among the clergy, the more notable being the Rev. Dr. Increase
Mather and the Rev. Dr. Cotton Mather ; the volume contains a catalogue of their
many writings, and is rich in biographical matter. The female lines are well carried
out and carefully indexed. The plan of giving the year of birth in the index of
names is a good one ; the addition of an index of places would have been an
improvement. H. D. L.

General Scott, by Marcus J. Wright. General Washington, by Bradley
T. Johnson. D. Appleton & Co., New York, 1894.
The biographies of Washington by General Johnson of the Maryland bar, and
Scott by General Wright of the War Department, Washington, are the latest addi-
tions to General Wilson's " Lives of Great Commanders." We have now, for the first
time, a satisfactory life of General W infield Scott, the conqueror of Mexico, as well
as one of the young heroes of the war of 1812; and also curiously enough, although
more than a hundred biographies have appeared, the first life of Washington as a
soldier, and written by a soldier. General Johnson's work cannot fail to attract at-
tention. It has the sustained interest of a romance, and throws new light on Brad-
dock's campaign, and the gallant and successful efforts of Washington and his Virgin-
ians to save the English command from total destruction. With the exception of
the battle of New Orleans it was one of the most disastrous defeats ever sustained
by a British army. \v.
• Genealogy of the Barber-Eno Family, of Homer, N. Y. Newark, N. J.,
1893. Svo, muslin, pp. 40.
This little book traces the Barbour-Barber family from the history of Norlhfield,
Mass., traditions, and records in possession of Samuel McC. Barber, of Troy,
N. Y., showing the descendants of Lieut. Thomas, who came to Dorchester, Mass.,
1635, through Samuel of the second, David of the third, David, Jr., of the fourth, and
Aaron of the fifth generation. Sixteen pages are given to Jedediah, son of Aaron;
eight pages to Paris, his son ; seven to Mrs. Jane Eno Barber, ncc Lydia Jane Eno,
who married Paris Barber. The Eno family appear on pages 32 and 33, being three
generations from James, of Windsor, Conn. Every publication of this kind helps to
preserve something of value, but, however small, an index is very important, as it
saves reading the entire book for the searcher who seeks a single name.

This book is the extremely valuable result of long, patient, and loving research
into the history of a community, and is an example worthy of emulation to the highest
degree by all local historians. Mr. Roe has left no stone unturned to give his read-

The plan of this work is not the N. E. Register arrangement ; and, though it is

It is a genealogy proper, and has the advantage of getting together the names, dates,

Cnl, WILLIAM STEPHENS SMITH,
THE NEW YORK
dntcalogical aitir ^Biographical JUcotl
Vol. XXV. NEW YORK, OCTOBER, 1894. No. 4.
COLONEL WILLIAM STEPHENS SMITH.
By Marcius D. Raymond.
In 1776, an ardent and gifted youth tendering his sword in defence
of the liberties of his country ; in 1876, an unmarked grave in a rural
hamlet in Central New York. Between, a life of more than usual dra-
matic and historic interest. A son of New York, born in this city, he
here entered upon his career, and spent most of his life in this vicinage.
And William Stephens Smith was well born and of worthy ancestry. He
was the eldest of a family of four sons and six daughters, the date of his
birth being November 8, 1755. His father, John Smith, who was a pros-
perous merchant of New York City, and who had a country seat at
Throgg's Neck in Westchester County, had married Margaret Stephens,
the daughter of Capt. John Stephens of New York, where she was born
in May, 1739. Her mother's name was Belinda Bush, who it is stated
was born in Holland and educated in a convent. She was a Tory, and
did all she could to prevent her ardent and patriotic grandson, William
Stephens Smith, from espousing the cause of the Colonies. It is said she
remained in the city of New York during the whole period of the war,
visited, by the permission of the British Commandant, from time to time
by her daughter. She lived to be about ninety years of age. Her hus-
band, Capt. John Stephens, who was an officer in the British service, was
killed in action on board a man-of-war at Carthagena before the Revolu-
tion. Mrs. Margaret Stephens Smith is said to have been a very handsome
and brilliant woman. Her memory is still cherished by her descendants,
and a great-great-granddaughter, now a resident of Utica, writes: "Her
portrait is to me beautiful, and for her character I have always felt greatest
admiration." And she had in her something of the heroic spirit of those
times, for it is said that when the British were sailing up the Sound prior
to landing at Throgg's Neck, in October, 1776, the commanding officer
ordered every dwelling to be cannonaded. She had been notified of this,
but as the vessels came in sight, with folded arms she walked up and
down the piazza in plain view of the enemy, who in compliment to her
courage turned their guns in other directions. She died at Lebanon,
Madison County, N. Y., April 1, 181 2, and was buried on Sherburne
West Hill, Chenango County, N. Y. Her husband, John Smith, the
father of Col. Wm. S., had died in the borough of Westchester, in 1785.
William Smith, the father of John and grandfather of William Stephens
Smith, had married Charity Bosch, daughter of Justus Bosch, of Rye,
Westchester County, who gave her a bequest by will, date of 1739. John
Smith and William Smith and Capt. John Stephens were all prominent

members of the old Presbyterian Church, formerly in Wall Street, as early
as 1766.
Colonel Smith's brothers, James, John, and Justus B., at some period
during or after the Revolution, held commissions in the army, and were
men of some distinction. James Smith married Ann Ross and lived for
many years in Eastchester, Westchester County ; and St. Paul's Church,
there located, has evidence in its communion service of gifts from mem-
bers of his family. The late James Stoughton Lynch, Esq., of Utica,
was his grandson. The other brothers were unmarried.
A sister, Sarah Smith, who married Charles Adams, son of President
John Adams, and brother of Mrs. Colonel Smith, left two daughters, one
of whom, named Abigail Smith Adams, married Alexander Bryan Johnson,
formerly of Utica, and was the mother of the late Judge A. S. Johnson,
of that city, and of Mrs. Sarah Lynch, also of Utica, and of William C.
Johnson, of Newburyport, Mass., who married a granddaughter of John
Quincy Adams.
His sister, Margaret Smith, married Felix de St. Hilaire.
His sister Belinda married Matthew Clarkson, of the noted family of
that name.
His brother John was a lieutenant in the Revolution, commissioned
as captain in 1789, major, 1796, and lieutenant-colonel, 1799. Settled
in South Carolina and died there.
Ann, the youngest daughter of the family, who married Josiah Masters,
of Schagticoke, was the last survivor. She was long a resident of Ham-
ilton, Madison County. She had at one time a large property, inherited
from her husband and the family estate, or the Jaunceys of New York, to
whom the Smith family were related, and lived in great style. She was a
noted character in her day, and is still well remembered by many who
knew her, among them the writer.
This much of family history to attest the title of William Stephens
Smith to good ancestry.
Colonel Smith graduated at Princeton in 1774, and then entered upon
the study of law with Samuel Jones, Esq., of New York, but, like many
another American youth, he was all aglow with patriotism, and at the first
clash of arms he enlisted in the patriot cause. He was soon after ap-
pointed aide-de-camp to General Sullivan, with the rank of major, and
served in that capacity in the unfortunate and disastrous battle of Long
Island, where Sullivan was captured and he himself was for a short time
in the enemy's hands. But he succeeded in escaping, and in the action
at Harlem Heights, which soon after followed, he served on the staff of
General Greene, and was wounded on the field. He remained under the
surgeon's charge at the family homestead on Throgg's Neck, until the
British troops landed there in their advance toward White Plains, and
then, though still suffering from his wound, he rallied a handful of men
to oppose their advance, and so succeeded in destroying the bridge at the
crossing to the mainland that they were hindered several hours, while he
and his retainers made their escape by horse and on foot into Connecti-
cut. General Howe made the Smith mansion his headquarters during
his stay at the Neck. The family, being forced to abandon everything,
finally took refuge within the enemy's lines, in the city of New York,
being thereby reduced from affluence to a condition of destitution and
suffering — the wife and children helpless, and the husband and sons

among the patriot refugees. At this time, in their distressed circum-
stances, a great temptation came to the young patriot soldier. In hope
of getting some relief, his mother went to General Howe, the British
commander. He received her kindly, said he was aware of her peculiar
circumstances, that he knew her eldest son was an officer in the Provin-
cial army ; supposed he had very naturally been carried away by the
ardor of a young man for the military profession ; "begged her to make
him his compliments," and to tell him that if he had a taste for army
life a commission as major in his Majesty's service was at his disposal ;
in which case he assured her, on his honor as a gentleman and soldier,
that if she returned with her family her property should be restored and
ail their losses be made good. It is said that she was inclined to relent,
but the young patriot spurned the proffered bribe so offered. Soon after
this, Major Smith, cured of his wound, presented himself with a flag of
truce at the advanced outpost of the enemy, with letters from Generals
Greene and Lee to General Howe, asking that Mrs. Smith and her family
be permitted to pass without the lines. Friends in the city urged them
to remain, but Mrs. Smith's decision was to go, with her husband and
sons ; and so the family removed to Worthington, Conn., where they
remained unmolested until the close of the Revolutionary war.
Having resisted this great and insidious temptation, Colonel Smith
entered with renewed ardor and determination upon his career as a
patriot in arms. He participated in the battle of White Plains and the
military movements that followed. In the memorable action at Trenton,
so important and decisive, he acted a conspicuous part, entering the town
with the advance of Sullivan's division, and subsequently, as is related,
personally took the commanding officer of the Hessian troops from his
horse at the moment of surrender, a feat of arms that attracted the atten-
tion of Washington, who presented him with a lieutenant-colonelcy as a
mark of his particular consideration. He afterwards joined the Thir-
teenth Massachusetts Continental Regiment, being appointed to that
service at Valley Forge, the crucial hour of the heroic struggle. With
that regiment he took part in the battle of Monmouth, and from there
went to Rhode Island, where he did good service in the attempted reduc-
tion of Newport. Gen. Joseph Wheaton, of Rhode Island, writes under
date of September 15, 1820, the original of which is still preserved,
saying it was there "I became better acquainted with Colonel Smith. I
well recollect his activity and usefulness in selecting the ground for our
batteries, and his being at various times on picket guard and with rec-
onnoitring parties, and particularly of his being on that service on the
night the army retired to Butt's Hill. He was brought into action three
times that day."
Colonel Smith participated in 1779 in the famous Sullivan expedition
against the Indians of Pennsylvania and Western New York as comman-
der of Spencer's New Jersey regiment, and there did good service. In
the campaign of 1780 he distinguished himself at the historic battle of
Springfield, N. J., winning the thanks of Generals Greene and Washington
for his gallant conduct.
In January, 1781, Colonel Smith was ordered to join a corps of light
infantry, commanded by the Marquis de Lafayette, of which he was
appointed adjutant and inspector-general. This force operated in Vir-
ginia, keeping watch of Cornwallis until he was finally driven into York-

town, the ever memorable siege and surrender following. It was there
that Colonel Smith was the recipient of the high honor of being ap-
pointed an aide to Washington, and so became a member of his military
family, which position he continued to hold until the close of the war
and the disbandment of the army. To quote again from General
Wheaton : "As I was at headquarters, and frequently dined with
General Washington at Philadelphia, after the siege, it was very discern-
ible, General Washington's particular and marked attention to Colonel
Smith. Also on an excursion General Washington made to the north, in
the summer of 1783, to Albany, Saratoga, Ticonderoga and Crown Point,
where I commanded the General Guard, and where General Washington,
Colonel Smith and myself were often covered by the same tent."
During the pendency of negotiations for peace Colonel Smith was
appointed to command the advance post of the continental army at
Dobbs Ferry, Westchester County, and, as acting commissary-general of
prisoners, had charge of all communications with the British forces still
in New York. At his headquarters there, a meeting was had by arrange-
ment of Colonel Smith between Sir Guy Carlton and General Wash-
ington, he introducing them to each other. After this interview Colonel
Smith was appointed a commissioner to reside near Carlton, and at the
evacuation of New York was the acting officer of the day who relieved
the British Guards, and to him the city and country were officially
surrendered.
But this is only a brief sketch of a brilliant military career that
covered the entire period of the Revolution, without any lapse or
apparent mar upon it, he having never been taken prisoner, nor brought
under censure of superiors, nor been absent from duty. Indeed,, a rare
record. The following testimonial given him by Washington, of the
date of June 24, 1782, contains a resume of his honorable record as a
soldier, and is worth a whole volume of common praise :
Lieut. Col. W. S. Smith entered the services of the United States at the com-
mencement of the present war. In August, 1776 he was appointed aid-de-camp to
Major General Sullivan with the rank of Major in the Army. On the first of January
1777, he was promoted to be a Lieutenant Colonel in one of the additional battalions
raised by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. After which he had the honor of
serving as Inspector and Adjutant General to the Corps of Light Infantry under the
command of Major General the Marquis de LaFayette, in the campaign of 1780 ;
and in the month of July, 1781, he was appointed aid-de-camp to the Commander-in
Chief of the American Armies ; in all which military stations have behaved with
great fidelity, bravery and good conduct. During the course of service Colonel
Smith has had many opportunities of signalizing himself by his gallantry, intelligence,
and professional, knowledge, in several battles, enterprises and seiges at which he has
been present, particularly in the actions on Long Island and Harlem Heights, at the
seige of Newport, in the expedition under the order of Major General Sullivan against
the savages, in the battle of Springfield, where he commanded a Regiment, the
successful seige of York in Virginia, where the army of Lord Cornwallis surrendered
prisoners of war, and on many other important occasions. In consequence of which
he hath merited my approbation and this testimony of his being a brave and valuable
officer.
Given under my hand and seal at the headquarters of the American Army, the
24th of June, 1782. G. WASHINGTON.
Colonel Smith afterwards commanded the Ninth United States Infan-
try, and was nominated for brigadier-general, but this must suffice for
his military record.

Colonel William Stephens Smith.

Soon after the close of the war he was appointed Secretary of Legation
to England, by the votes of thirl\ -six out ol thirty-seven senators present
in Congress, and so in 1784 he went abroad, and while There, besides
attending to his duties at the Court of St. James, he officially visited the
Spanish Court at Lisbon, arranging the business committed to his care in
a manner highly satisfactory to the Government. He also made quite a
tour of Europe, being everywhere received with honor. While at London
he met Abigail Adams, the only and accomplished daughter of John
Adams, then Minister Plenipotentiary to Great Britain, and that fallowed
which has often happened before in song and story to the brae and fair.
But from letters written to his intimate friend and fellow soldier, Col.
Samuel B. Webb, it appears that he had been gallant to other ladies
before he capitulated to the fair and stately Abigail. After a courtship of
some two years, his marriage with Miss Adams was duly celebrated at
London, June 12, 1786, the Bishop of St. Asaph officiating. In this
connection, it is a singular coincidence that her mother's name was
Abigail Smith before marriage, and that by marriage she herself should
have become another Abigail Smith. He returned in 1788, though he
afterwards revisited Europe on business and pleasure. Colonel Smith
was one of the originators of the Society of Cincinnati, was Secretary of
the New York division in 1790, Vice-President in 1794, and President
of the Society 1795-97. On the 26th of September, 1789, General Wash-
ington, then President, appointed him United States Marshal of the
District of New York, and afterwards Supervisor of the Revenue. On
June 24, 1800, President {ohn Adams appointed him Surveyor of the
Port of New York.
Colonel Smith now seemed to be at the zenith of his brilliant career.
He was successful, prosperous, popular. He was a brave soldier, a
gallant cavalier, and a gentleman of varied attainments, well fitted to win
honor at Court or on the field. His father-in-law, John Adams, was
President of the United States, and he himself was in high office. At
that time he had a summer residence at Eastchester. In a letter dated
there October 12, 1797, President Adams writes: "I arrived here at
Colonel Smith's last night with my family, and shall make this house my
home until we can go on to Philadelphia." A cut of that house appears
in Scharf's " History of the County of Westchester." At the same time he
had a fine house in town, still standing near Avenue A, on Sixty-first
Street. At the sale by the State of the so-called Twenty Townships in
Central New York, in 1789, representing a syndicate made up in part of
foreign capitalists, he had purchased six whole townships of land in the
present counties of Madison and Chenango, including the town of Sher-
burne, the early home of the writer ; but if they were days of prosperity,
he appears to have spent too liberally if not lavishly, and too rashly
discounted the future. His naturally restless ambition, stimulated to
unnatural excess by the exciting events of the Revolutionary war, devel-
oped even in peaceful times along the lines of greater risk and adventure,
and the ambitious spirit longed for other worlds to conquer. As early as
June 25, 1782, in writing to Gov. George Clinton concerning the adjust-
ment of his accounts, Colonel Smith made this significant statement : '" I
leave this place (headquarters of the army at Newburgn) with permission
to join the combined forces in the West Indies." 'Phis seems to be
almost prophetic of what afterwards occurred, but for the time being he

then appears to have been persuaded from his purpose, although later,
and at a time when all the skies were bright, he became involved in the
unfortunate and at least ill-timed Miranda expedition to an extent that
threatened to be very disastrous to him.
Colonel Smith, as already stated, was a bold, adventurous spirit, and
with his strong patriotic impulses he very naturally, and to his credit be
it said, sympathized with the movements for liberty in all parts of the
world. The ill-starred Miranda expedition was undertaken by Francisco
Miranda, a Spanish patriot, for the liberation of the Spanish colonies in
South America. Colonel Smith had made the acquaintance of General
Miranda while abroad. There came to be very close relations between
them, and thus he became complicated in that undertaking, his eldest
son, William Steuben Smith, going out with Miranda as adjutant. The
result was, on complaint of the Spanish Government, Colonel Smith was
tried for connection with it, before the United States Supreme Court, the
case commencing in April, 1806, and continuing until the July follow-
ing, when he was acquitted of the charge. It was claimed that those
high in authority had connived at the undertaking, and that they were
only too glad when the case was thrown out of court. Unquestionably
this was very humiliating and annoying to John Adams (then ex-Presi-
dent), with all his strict punctiliousness and high ideas of honor and
rectitude. For some time after that episode it is said that their relations
were somewhat strained, though letters of a later date indicate restored
confidence and reconciliation.
And then financial disasters followed his other misfortunes, necessi-
tating his removal with his family, in 1S07 or 1808, to Lebanon, then
of Chenango and now of Madison County, where two of his brothers
resided, and where together they owned a large tract of mainly unim-
proved lands. The place of their settlement has long been known as
Smith's Valley, a point about three miles southwest of the village of
Hamilton. He there erected a modest story-and-a-half house, in maiked
distinction from the palatial residence on Sixty-first Street, New York,
and the mansion in Eastchester. The building' is still standing, though
now an adjunct to a more pretentious dwelling, and in other days was
often pointed out to the writer as the early home of his mother, whose
father succeeded the Smiths in possession.
The family of Colonel Smith occupied that place as their residence
until 1813, Mrs. Smith having died on the 14th of August of that year,
while at the home of her father in Quincy, Mass., at the age of forty-
eight. She must have been a rarely attractive woman, of great charm
and loveliness. A portrait by Copley, engraved in steel, attests her
beauty. Her memory may well be precious to her descendants. To her
husband her loss was irreparable.
It is said that Colonel Smith had retired from public life to his farm
in Lebanon, having previously declined important command in the army;
but, at the election for Congress, held on the 16th and 17th of Decem-
ber, 1S12, previous to the death of his wife, Colonel Smith had been
chosen as member of the House of Representatives for the district com-
prising the counties of Madison and Herkimer, having a majority of
three hundred and ninety-three over his competitor, Hubbard Smith, in
a total vote of four thousand six hundred and twenty-nine. He was a
Federalist, and acted with that party in Congress.
1894-] Colonel William Stephens Smith. r eg
This election must have been very gratifying to him as a maik of
confidence and esteem coming to him in the days of his adversity. At
the succeeding election he was defeated by Wetsel Willoughby, by a
small majority, the Federal party being then out of power and on the
wane.
The certificate of election was given to Colonel Smith, owing to an
informality in a portion of the vote of his opponent, though it appears
that he made no opposition to Mr. Willoughby taking his seat.
Two of Colonel Smith's brothers had died quite suddenly in March,
18 16, and he did not long survive, having died at his residence in the
town of Lebanon, June 10, 1816. In a letter from Miss Elizabeth Adams,
of Quincy, Mass., it is called New Lebanon, while the place of death of
his father, John Smith, is designated as ''Lebanon, in the borough of
Westchester." Who of our local historians can give the boundaries and
locale of that earlier but now obliterated Lebanon ? It certainly appears
to have been the predecessor, if not the ancestor, of its later namesake in
Madison County, the nomenclature of which was probably given it by the
Smith family, who also gave the name o( Smith's Valley to the hamlet
where they resided.
At the time of Colonel Smith's death none of his family were remain-
ing there, his eldest son, William Steuben Smith, who was a sole executor
and legatee, being at that time a resilient of the city of New York ; but
his daughter, Mrs. DeWindt, hurried to him from her home on the Hud-
son in time to be present in the last days of his illness. He died on the
evening of the 10th of June, 18 16, and the notice of the executor was
published in New York on the 22d of that month, naming his office at
6 Vesey Street. The Society of the Cincinnati published official announce-
ment of his death on |une 17.
Colonel Smith left surviving him three children : William Steuben
Smith, John Adams Smith, and Caroline Amelia, who had married John
Peter DeWindt, of Fishkill-on-the-Hudson, son of John DeWindt, of
New York, an old and honorable family who inherited a large estate, ['he
eldest son, William Steuben, married Miss Catharine Johnson, but left no
issue. He died at Newburg, N. Y., May 12, 1850.
John Adams Smith is said to have been at one time Secretary of Lega-
tion at St. Petersburg!!. He was a lawyer, and was in practice for a few
years at Hamilton, N. Y. Was unmarried.
Caroline Amelia, the only daughter of Colonel and Mrs. Smith, who
married Mr. John P. DeWindt, and lived at Fishkill. had eight children,
of whom five survive, as follows : Mrs. Monell, widow of Judge Monell
and formerly Mrs. A. J. Downing ; Mrs. Clarence Cook, and Mr. Arthur
DeWindt, all of Fishkill ; Mrs. C. P. Cranch, of Cambridge, Mass. ; and
Mrs. Gabriel Furman, of East Orange, N.J. Mr. Arthur DeWindt served
with distinction in the late war for the Union, holding a commission as
captain in the 128th N. V. V. A son of his is a member of the Society
of Cincinnati. The DeWindts are patriotic, cultured people, and it is
enough to say that they are worthy of their distinguished ancestry. Mis.
DeWindt, the only daughter of Colonel and Mrs. Smith, was lost in that
terrible tragedy, the burning of the steamboat Henry Clay, which occurred
on the Hudson, near Yonkers, July 28, 1852. Her son-in-law, Andrew
Jackson Downing, the noted landscape artist, also lost his life by that
same catastrophe. Mrs. Downing, who was on board, was among the
160 Colonel William Stephens Smith. [Oct,,
saved. The portrait of Mrs. DeWindt shows her a beautiful woman, with
a striking resemblance to her mother. She was a lady of literary taste,
and a choice little volume by her, published in 1841, entitled, "Journal
and Correspondence of Miss Adams," contains a memoir of Colonel
Smith, which has much aided in the preparation of this sketch.
An engraving of Colonel Smith has been prepared from a portrait of
him by Trumbull, now in the possession of his granddaughter, Mrs. Fur-
man, of East Orange, N. J., and which, though injured by the fire which
destroyed the DeWindt mansion at Fishkill many years ago, is still an
object of no little interest. He is also represented in a group of distin-
guished officers in an engraving made at the time of his visit to Frederick
the Great, and struck off in honor of the occasion, of which his grandson,
Arthur DeWindt, Esq., of Fishkill, has a copy.
Mrs. John Adams, writing to her sister, Mrs. Cranch, in 1786, just
prior to the marriage of her daughter, says of Colonel Smith : "Your
niece is engaged to a gentleman worthy of her ; one whom you will be
proud to take by the hand and own as a nephew. With regard to his per-
son, he is tall, slender, and a good figure ; a complexion naturally dark,
but made still more so by seven years' service in the field. He appears a
gentleman in every thought, word, and action."
He was buried, it appears, at some distance from the place of his resi-
dence and death, in the town of Sherburne, Chenango County, in a plot
which had been reserved by his brother Justus B. in the gift of a burial-
place to the Second Congregational Society and Church located at Sher-
burne West Hill, sometimes in the early days called Lvnde's Hill, where his
mother and his brother Justus B. , probablv his brother James, and his
nephew, Charles Clarkson, son of Matthew M. and Belinda Smith Clark-
son, were also buried. But, strange to relate, for over seventy-two years
there was no stone to mark his last resting-place, and all knowledge of
the spot had been lost to his descendants, who were living far from those
scenes ; yet, happily, the memory of the fact had survived in that locality
for more than two generations, and knowledge of it coming to the writer,
whose kindred sleep near by, it was a labor of love to gather up the
broken threads of memory and tradition from many sources, until it was
made so clear that it was the place where the distinguished soldier and
civilian was buried, that his honored descendants, the DeW^indts, lost no
time in putting up a memorial stone to mark the spot. It was placed in
position there in November, 1888, and was an act creditable to the great-
grandchildren of President John Adams.
No longer any doubt remains as to .where sleeps this brave and dis-
tinguished soldier of the Republic. The stone there set up bears the
following inscriptions :
Here lie the remains of
Colonel William Stephens Smith,
Who died at Lebanon, N. Y., June 10, 18 16,
Aged 59 years.
On the reverse side :
In the War of Independence he fought in 22 battles,

On another side of the monument :
In Memory of
Abigail Adams, the Wife of Col. Wm, S. Smith,
And only daughter of John Adams,

The following is a brief summary of Colonel Smith's record : "Born
November 8, 1755 ; graduated at Princeton, 1774 ; Major and Aide-de-
camp to General Sullivan, August 15, 1776; Lieut. -Col. of Lee's Addi-
tional Continental Regiment, January 1, 1777 ; transferred to Spencer's
Regiment, April 22, 1779 ; Adjutant and Inspector, Staff of General
LaFayette, to July, 1781 ; Staff of General Washington from July, 1781 ;
Secretary Legation to London, 1784; married Abigail Adams, 1786;
President Society Cincinnati, 1795-7; U.S. Marshal, 1789; Surveyor
of the Port of New York, 1800; original owner of Sherburne, 1 79 1 ;
Member of Congress, 1812-14. Died June 10, 1 8 1 6 ; buried on Sher-
burne West Hill."
Of Colonel Smith it may well be said, " His illustrious career is more
imperishable than 'storied urn or monumental bust ;' " and what could
be sweeter than that amid those rural scenes his manly form should rest
on the bosom of mother earth on such a heaven-kissed hill, where " no
bugle sounds reveille ! "

THE END.
EVIDENCES OF THE DERIVATION OF THE RUGGLES FAM-
ILIES OF ENGLAND AND AMERICA FROM THAT OF
RUGGELEY OF STAFFORDSHIRE.
By Henry Stoddard Ruggles, Esq., of Wakefield, Mass.
Both the English and American Ruggles families trace their descent
from Thomas Ruggles, Esq., of Sudbury, Suffolk, England, whose will
was of date June 21, 1547, in the following lines :
English Family : Thomas1 of Sudbury, Suffolk ; Nicholas2 of Sud-
bury ; George3 of Sudbury ; George4 of Sudbury ; John5 of Booking,
Essex ; John" of Booking ; Thomas7 of Booking ; Thomas" of Clare,
Suffolk ; Thomas9 of Spains Hall, Braintree, Essex ; John'0 of Spains
Hall, Essex and Clare, Suffolk, who by royal license assumed the sur-
name of Brise in addition to that of Ruggles, and whose son is the present
Colonel Samuel B. Ruggles-Brise of Spains Hall, Essex, and Cavendish
Hall, Sudbury, Suffolk.
American Family : Thomas' of Sudbury, Suffolk ; Nicholas" of Sud-
bury ; Thomas3 of Sudbury ; Thomas4 of Sudbury, Suffolk, Nasing,
•Essex (1620), and Roxbury, Mass. (1637).
The arms borne by Thomas Ruggles, Esq., of Sudbury (1547), were :
Argent, a chevron between three roses gules ; Crest — a lower or, faming at
the top proper and transfixed with four arrows in salt ire argent, which were
precisely the same as those of Ruggeley of Staffordshire. Certain mod-
ern English works on heraldry describe the arms of Thomas Ruggles,
Esq., above, with the roses " seeded or, awned vert" ; but the introduc-
tion of these tinctures is believed to be a recent innovation, for in John
Sydney Hawkins's " Life of George Ruggles " (who died in 1622) — which
was published by T. Payne & Son of London, in 1787, and which had the
sanction of the then English representative of the lamily — -the bearings
are given with the roses gules only, exactly the blazon of Ruggeley found
1894.] The Ruggles Families of England and America. i5c
in the " Heralds' Visitation of Staffordshire. " There is, however, evidence
that this same variation from the original shield had claimants in the
house of Ruggeley, for in St. Ives's Church, Huntingdonshire, where the
last survivors of that name in England were found, is a window showing
three shields of Ruggelev arms, and on each of these the roses appear
seeded or, awned vert. The only persons now living of that family are
the descendants of Henry Rugeley (the name is spelled with one g in
later times), of South Carolina, who adhered to the Royal cause in our
Revolutionary war, and held a colonel's commission from Lord Rawdon ;
and A. J. Rugeley, Esq., of New Orleans, his great-grandson, has now
in his possession a coat-of-arms like those upon the window of the church
of St. Ives. The same deviation being found both in Ruggeley and
Ruggles is remarkable.
Hawkins has the following regarding the early history of the family of
Ruggles: "His father was descended from an ancient and reputable
family of the name of Ruggeley, who were originally of Staffordshire, and
were, says Sir William Dugdale, 'gentlemen of good note, for so early as
the twenty-sixth year of the reign of Edward I., I find William de Rug-
gele recorded with an encomium for having performed faithful service to
the king in his army in Flanders, and in the tenth, thirteenth, and four-
teenth of Edward III. mention is made of Simon de Ruggeley, who was
then sheriff of the counties of Salop and Stafford.' The earliest informa-
tion I have been able to obtain touching the place of their first settlement
is, that in the tenth year of Henry V., and perhaps for some time before,
they resided at Hawkesbeard in Staffordshire, but am inclined to think
that they were not only originally settled at but that they even received
their surname from a market town named Ruggeley in Staffordshire,
which in the maps is laid down as situated a few miles beyond Lichfield,
on the road from London to Chester, and that from this place it was that
they removed to Hawkesbeard. To support this conjecture here advanced,
little more will be necessary than to observe that the two earliest persons
of this family whose names have anywhere been found are both described
with the Latin preposition De prefixed to their surnames in the records in
which their names respectively occur; the former of the two is styled
William de Ruggele, the latter, Simon de Ruggeley. Camden, speaking
of the etymology of surnames, says that all which in Latin old evidences
have had De prefixed to them were borrowed from places, and this dis-
tinction of local names with De was uniformly observed in records till
about the time of Edward IV. The name Ruggeley as applied to a
place, though the time of its assumption is much too distant to enable us
to decide with certainty, is most probably of Anglo-Saxon origin, signify-
ing rough or rugged land, and might very properly refer to the unculti-
vated state of the place at the time it was thus named. From Hawkesbeard,
in consequence of a purchase of an estate which he had made in War-
wickshire, Nicholas Ruggeley, Esq., removed about the tenth of Henry
V. to Dunton, in that county, where he became the founder of a new
family. About the beginning of the sixteenth century a younger branch
of this family removed first into Lincolnshire, and very shortly afterward
to Suffolk."
" Wright's History of Essex," England, quotes in brief this statement
of Hawkins's in giving the origin of the Ruggles family of Suffolk and
Essex.

KING'S (NOW COLUMBIA) COLLEGE AND ITS EARLIEST
ALUMNI.
By Richard H. Greene.
(Continued from Vol. XXV., p. 133.)
Class of 1762.
Edward Aniill was son of Hon. Edward Antill, who was a major in
H. B. M. service in Canada before the Revolution. Edward Antill, the
grandfather, was formerly of Richmond, County Surrey, Eng., merchant.
He came to New York where he was practicing at the bar, the last of the
sixteenth and early in the seventeenth century. His wife's name was
Sarah, and Edward was born June 17, 1701 ; married, June 10, 1739,
Anne, daughter of Lewis Morris, Esq., Governor of New Jersey, and
Isabella his wife.
He resided at Raritan Landing, and it is said was remarkable for his
eccentricities. Governor Morris recommended him for the Council, 1740
and 1745. He was also named as superintendent of a lottery, in 1759,
to raise £1500 for completing the Episcopal church at New Brunswick.
He gave £1800 towards founding King's College. He was a member of
the General Assembly, 1738 ; of the Council, 1 74 1 , 1746. He died
August 15, 1770. Of his sons, two served in the Continental Army.
Edward, the graduate, was born April 11, 1742. He was in Canada when
the war began ; and in Quebec, when the troops besieged that city in
1775, he refused to take up arms, and was sent out to the American lines,
where General Montgomery assigned him to duty as chief engineer, and
he was with that officer when he died, and bore the despatches from
Wooster to Schuyler and Congress. He married, at Quebec, May 4,
1767 (the Rev. John Brooks, chaplain of the garrison, officiating), Char-
lotte Riverin. She died at New York, September 3, 1785, aged thirty-
two.
He was commissioned lieutenant-colonel of Hazen's regiment, Janu-
ary 22, 1776. An officer at Quebec writes of Hazen as then "under half
pay, having raised 150 recruits in Canada, and the engineer, Col. Ed.
Antill, as. his lieutenant-colonel, who had practiced law ten or twelve years
in New York." This was March 8, 1776.
In December he was sent to recruit in New Jersey and the Southern
States, with the approbation of Washington, and Congress voted him
$2000 for his expenses.
Lt.-Col. Stephen Kemble wrote in his journal, August, 1777: ''My
schoolmate, Antill, among the prisoners on Staten Island."
An aide-de-camp of General Pattison, August 7, 1 779, informed Colonel
Antill and the officers on parole on Long Island, in reference to a con-
troversy with a sergeant of the guard at Flatbush : "They were in the
wrong, and trusts care will be taken to prevent any more conflicts."
Antill was an officer in the Second Continental Regiment, after his ex-
change, which occurred November 2, 1780, until January 1, 1783, when
he was retired. Col. Moses Hazen was commander during the entire
1894.] and its Earliest Alumni.

term. He had a daughter, Frances, who married Arthur Tappan, first
president of the American Anti-Slavery Society. He died at St. John's,
Canada, May 21, 1789, aged forty-seven years.
Henry Cuyler was perhaps descended from Henry and Anna Cuyler of
Albany, or Hendrick and Maria Jacobs, married 1710 ; or Henry, jun.,
and Alida Rynders, married March, 1743, in New York, but I have not
found it.
Henry Cuyler was a familiar name here. As early as 1689 one was
commissioned major of militia, New York. As merchant and shipowner
this name appears 1711, 1747, 1756, 1757. Sometimes it is "junior."
In 1758 the junior was appointed Port Warden, New York, with Leonard
Lispenard. I am quite at a loss to place the graduate.
The Catalogue gives only his graduation and A. M., not even his
death. He was perhaps a brother of Barent (1763). In 1769 an act
was passed to indemnify the treasurers of the Colony (New jersey) for
advancing money, in the controversy touching the boundary line, to the
agents appointed by law. One of these agents was Henry Cuyler.
He was. perhaps, the man ordered by the Provincial Congress to remove
from his house in Newark on account of adherence to the crown, but
permitted, by vote, July 17, 1776, because "so extremely indisposed as to
render his removal very dangerous, " to remain for the present, give his
parole, and a bond with security in penalty of £1000. He, or one of
the name, married Catharine, daughter of Councillor John Barberie (Col-
lector of the Port at Am boy, at his death, 1770) and Gertrude, daughter
of Andrew Johnston, his wife. That family was loyal to the King. This
Henry Cuyler died in Newark, May, 1774, aged twenty-eight. His widow
is believed to have died at Amboy. They left several children.
William Cornelius George appears as fifth among the graduates,
of a class of forty-four, at Yale, the same year, and is believed to have
died before 1770. He certainly could not have pursued his studies at
both institutions at the same time, and where one is thus claimed by two,
we naturally expect more to be known about him.
John Grinnell, or Grenell, as it was spelled June 28, 1775, when he
was appointed Captain, Second New York Regiment. He is called of
Huntington, and his command the Suffolk Company. The Provincial
Congress, November 3, ordered Colonel McDougall to send Captain
Grinnell, Third Regiment, New York Continentals, up to the fortifica-
tions on the Hudson. December 6 they recommended that he be released
from his present duty, and promoted captain of the company of Matrosses.
January 22, 1776, he was appointed, accordingly, Captain New York
Artillery. He signed a memorial to the New York Congress, February
21, and March 27 he resigned as Captain of Artillery. This was filed
March 3c, 1776. I cannot say that he was a native of Huntington, and
do not find any record of his after life or death.
Alexander Leslie became Head Master of the Grammar School, suc-
ceeding Matthew Gushing, who was appointed 1763, but the date of his
appointment or retiring does not appear, though William Cochran appears
to succeed him in 1784. I do not think he remained until that date.
He addressed Lord and Sir Wm. Howe 1776, which places him among
the Loyalists, and seems to have married Mary Ellis, December 22, 1780.
Leonard Lispenard, Jr., already alluded to, was born 1743, and
baptized December 21. He was a merchant, and member of the New
176 King's College, New York Cily, [Oct.,
York Chamber of Commerce. He had an out-of-town house on Daven-
port's Neck, New Rochelle. He was a man of culture and travel. He
never married. It is not necessary to go into the pedigree of this family.
He was brother of Anthony (class of 1 76 1 ), son of Col. Leonard and
Elsje, daughter of Anthony and Cornelia Rutgers. The father was an
active patriot, member of Stamp Act Congress 1765, Committee of Fifty-
one 1774, Committee of One Hundred 1775, and member of the Provin-
cial Congress.
His daughter Cornelia has also been mentioned as married to Thomas,
brother of John Marston (1760).
Col. Leonard Lispenard's father was Anthony (1683-175 5), of New
Rochelle, N. Y., son of Antoine L'Espinard, the colonial baker at
Albanv.
IVm. Benj. Nicoll Maverick, born September 20, 1743, a descendant
of Paul, of Boston, Mass., also of Benjamin Nicoll, of Islip, L. I., whose
widow, Charity, daugher of Co!. Richard Floyd, married Dr. Samuel
Johnson 1725, afterwards first president of King's College. She had by
her first husband two sons who were both prepared by Dr. Johnson and
graduated at Yale College, 1734 : Benjamin Nicoll and William Nicoll.
Daniel Robert was loyal to the King and went to St. Christopher's,
where he became Attorney General under the Colonial government.
1763.
Barent Cuyler. — I have failed to discover anything and the Catalogue
tells us nothing of this man.
Abraham De Peyster entered the King's service as Captain, New York
Volunteers. He was second in command at King's Mountain 1780, and
after the fall of Ferguson he hoisted the flag of surrender. After the
peace he went to St. Johns, N. B. , and was one of the grantees of that
city. He also received half pay from the British government. He was
Colonel of the militia there and Treasurer of the Province. He died in
1798.
1764.
Richard Harison is not unknown, and I would merely mention
him, but I find his name does not appear in Drake's Biographical Dic-
tionary ; nor is it in Hough's Biographical Notes, which claims to take

of American Biography also fails to mention him. He was vestryman,
Trinity Church, N. Y., 1783, 1788-1811. Warden, 181 [-27. Secretary
of the Board of Regents, July, 1784, to 1790. A lawyer and a federalist,
he was appointed by President Washington United States District Attorney
for New York, and acted in politics with Hamilton, Jay, and Livingston
against Clinton and Burr. In 1788-89 he was member of the New York
Legislature, and in the former year was also member of the convention
which adopted the Federal Constitution, where his votes were in favor of
its adoption. He was made Recorder of the City of New York February
15, 1798, and held this important office till August 25, 1801. He had
sons and grandsons who graduated from the College. He received degree
of D.C.L. from Oxford University, England.

no other has had a Chief Justice of the United States; but five others

of the College until it was closed on account of the war, was a unit for the
Colonists against the King.

Egbert Benson is one of the brightest names among the graduates of
King's College.
Robert R. Livingston (only a little more known and honored) ranks
close to Hamilton and Jay. These men need no searcher to. discover
what they were and did.
Richard Grant appears in the Catalogue, with neither letter nor date
appended. He was called clerk, and in 1776 was appointed by Sir
William Howe chaplain for the garrison at St. Johns. There was then
one supporter of the King in the class of 1765. Grant had a daughter
Anne, who married, in 1786, Sir Cornelius Cuyler, Baronet, a native of
this Colony, who was born in Albany, October 31, 1740; her family
succeeded to the title.
Arent Schuyler was born 1746, son of John Schuyler and Anne Van
Rensselaer his wife, the daughter of the Patroon. He married Swan
Schuyler, his double cousin, their fathers being brothers and their mothers
sisters. She was daughter of Adonijah and Gertrude Van Rensselaer.
John and Adonijah were sons of Arent Schuyler, fourth son of Philip and
Margarita Van Slichtenhorst, married December 12, 1650. Arent was
born June 25, 1662 ; married, January 2, 1703, Swantje Dyckhouse ; she
died in 1723. Arent was Captain in the Indian and French troubles,
1692, 1693, and removed to New York 1694 ; that year Governor Fletcher
sent him to the Minnisink Indians. After his return the Indians deeded
him a thousand acres on the Minnisink, and the Governor confirmed it
in a patent ; he removed to Pompton and, subsequently, to the Passaic
above Newark. He had a very large property, which was increased by
the discovery of copper by one of his slaves. Arent died about 1731.
The homestead with lands and a house in Broadway, New York, he left
to John, who seems to have been his favorite ; to Adonijah (the uncle and
father-in-law of the graduate) he left lands at Elizabethtown Point ; to
each of his sons he gave a share in the mine and the slaves. Arent and
Swan were married November 2, 1772 ; they lived at Belleville, N. J.
He remained true to the colonists, but the sons of Adonijah entered the
British service, and his wife's sister married Hon. Henry St. John, son of
Baron St. John of Bletsho. His father had been appointed to the King's
Council, but I only find him in one public position, member of the
Bergen County Committee of Correspondence. May, 1775. He had one
daughter, perhaps other children.
Henry Lloyd was son of John, born February 9, 1711; married,
December 24, 174 1, Sarah Woolsey, daughter of Rev. Benjamin and
Abigail (Taylor) Woolsey. John was a gentleman farmer on Lloyd's
Neck, a peninsula off Huntington, Suffolk, though part of Queen's County,
N. Y. It was a British post called Fort Franklin during the Revolution,
r 7g King's College, New York City, [Oct.,
the scene of some whale-boat warfare. Dr. Dwight thinks he was in the
commissary department of Connecticut during the war, but I fail to find
it. The father of John was Henry Lloyd, born November 28. 1685 ;
married Rebecca, daughter of John son of Robert and Marv (Temple)
Nelson. Mary Temple was daughter of Sir John Temple. This Henry
became proprietor and settled on the Neck, 171 1, and died March 18,
1763. Rebecca Nelson was born November 15, 1688, and died July 27,
1728.
The father of Henry Lloyd, and great-grandfather of the graduate, was
James Lloyd, from Boston, and Newport, R, I., who came into posses-
sion of part of the Neck by his marriage to Grizzelda, daughter of
Nathaniel Sylvester, one of the patentees from Governor Nicolls, 1665.
Lloyd purchased the remainder, and Governor Andros confirmed it to
him by his patent, 1677. He married Rebecca, daughter of Governor
Leverett, after the death of his first wife, who had issue, Henry, Joseph,
and Grizzle. He died August 16, 1698. Henry Lloyd, the graduate,
was the eldest of eight children of John and Sarah Woolsey ; he never
married. There was a Henry and James on the estate during the war
who were protected by General Howe ; at the same time, it is said, John
lived at Stamford and Joseph at Hartford, Conn., and their lands were
confiscated. These must be the father of the graduate and his brothers,
i.e., Henry, born 1706, a loyalist, who died in England and was included
in the attainder after the peace ; Joseph, born 171 6, and died in Hartford,
1780 ; James, the youngest and only remaining brother at that date, born
1728, a physician at Boston when he died, March, 1810.
John was a resident of Stamford as early as 1747, and there the
graduate was born Friday, July 22, 1743. His father seems to have been
warden of St. John's Church, Stamford, as early as March, 1747, and as
late as 1759. He deeded, for £3 4 3 65. nd., from St. George Talbot,
two tracts, one of eighteen acres in Northfield, the other four acres, at
North Street and the highway, "10 the u»e of the missionary
the rector of St. John's Church, and his successors." He held no civil
office, but on October 7, 1774, at a meeting warned to consider the claims
of the Bostonians then suffering from the action of the Fort Bill, John
Lloyd, Samuel Hutton, Captain Samuel Youngs, Captain David Hoyt,
and Charles Weed were appointed a committee to receive subscriptions,
for the supply of the poor in the town of Boston. I do not know the
date of his return to Lloyd's Neck, sometimes called Lloyd's Manor, but
he was appointed Judge of Common Pleas, February, 1784. There
Henry seems to have lived alter the war, and there he died January 14,
1825, "'/• &J> having never married.

Gerard Beekman was first lieutenant in the First Battalion New York
Independent Militia, of the company called "Sportsmen." January 3,
1776, when a vote was taken, if they would engage in the cause of the
colonies, he voted in the affirmative. His father was called Lieutenant
Gerardus also; he was born at Flatbush, L. I., June 9, 1693; married
October 9, 1 7 1 8, Anna Maria Van Home ; his son married Anna Van
Home, October 26, 1745; their eldest child, I believe, was Gerard,
baptized New York Dutch Church, September 24, 1746; he married
Cornelia, daughter of Lt.-Gov. Pierre Van Cortlandt and Joanna Living-
ston. They lived just north of Peekskill, surrounded by Tories, and he
was watched by the enemy and once summoned to Tryon's headquarters,
but the opportune arrival of American troops saved him.
After the war he purchased part of the confiscated Philipse manor
near Tarrytown, and lived thenceforward in the old manor house of
Philipseburgh. His monument in the Van Cortlandt cemetery reads :
"Gerard G. Beekman, born September 19, 1746, New York City, died
June 22d, a.d. 1822, at his seat in the town of Mount Pleasant, aged
seventy-three years nine months and three days."
Richard Nicolls Colden, son of Alexander, was appointed Ensign,
August 27 (the year he graduated), in the Forty-second Royal High-
landers, and resigned therefrom 1772. He was with the regiment at the
Isle of Man, and while there married a Miss Bethune. In 1772 he was
appointed Surveyor of Customs, at New York, and held the office until
he died 1777, aged thirty-one years. He had two sons that survived
him, to wit: Alexander, who died without issue, and Cadwalader R.,
sometime editor of the Sporting News, New York.
Richard d'Olier. — Of this man I find nothing.
Joseph d'Olier, master of the ship Le Concord, which was captured,

the name.
Edward Nicoll, son of Edward and Agnes (de Meyer) Nicoll, was born
August 29, 1744. Edward, senior, was born February 20, 1717, and
died 1797 ; they had nine children, as follows :
i. Agnes, b. May 7, 1740.
ii. Edward (King's, 1766).

I have no reason to believe either of these was the graduate. He married
Helena Roosevelt, December 24, 1786 ; she was daughter of Jacobus and
Annaetje Bogaert, was younger than he, having been born August 9,
1 76 1 ; she survived him and married second a Mr. Mowers. Ray
attended the Presbyterian Church in New York, where one of his name
was a trustee, 1759, t>ut *-he name does not occur in the first city directory.
I have not been able to learn whether there was any issue of this marriage.
One of the daughters of Col. Marinus Willett married a Ray, and I think
possibly of the same family.
Henry Rutgers, born October 7, 1745. This man and his family are
so well known, there is no necessity of a lengthy sketch. After gradu-
ation he lived in this city ; May 8, 1775, was Captain of Company of
Grenadiers in the militia ; the next year was Lieutenant in Malcolm's
regiment, New York line. He was a member of the New York Legis-
lature, 1784, 1800-02, and 1 807. Regent 1802-06, Trustee of the
College, 1804-17, and died 183c, at. 85. He never married. His life,
with portrait, is given in the 17th volume of the Record from the pen
of his great-nephew. Ernest H. Crosby.
John Troup, died 1775.
John Troup, Jr., born 1747 circa, died 1817, at. 70. These class-
mates were probably brothers' sons. The name does not appear in
Savage's Dictionary, in Durries Index of American Pedigrees and
Genealogies, or the earliest directory of New York. The name is not
extinct, however, even here.
John Vardill, born in New York, 1752, son of Captain Thomas
Vardill, a native of Bermuda, at one time Port Warden at New York,
married Hannah Tiebout, December, 1745. John had several brothers
and sisters. He was tutor and professor at the College in 1773. In
January, 1774, he embarked for England, being a loyalist, and to take
orders, which he did, and was ordained at Stirbeck, Lincolnshire, and
became rector of an English church. He was elected assistant rector of
Trinity, New York, but never returned to America. He died, 181 1, leav-
ing wife Ann, and one daughter.
John Watts, son of the Hon. John Watts, member of the Council,
and Ann de Lancey, was born August 27, 1749. At his graduation he

British, October 23, 1776. Thomas H. Barclay (class of 1772) was
his brother-in-law, having married his wife's sister, Susanna. Her

THE BERMUDA ISLANDS AND THEIR CONNECTION WITH
NEW YORK.
By Joseph Outerbridge Brown.*
Read at a Meeting of the Society, April 13, 18Q4.
It may be a presumption on my part to assume that there is a single
individual present who has not visited the Bermuda Islands, or who does
not know about their formation all that I shall say. But I take it for
granted that the insignificance of the place has left a few to whom the
little that I have to tell may be new.
The islands are the highest ridge and peaks of a great mountain which
has been for ages sinking beneath the waves. They are surrounded by a
living coral reef, and that reef marks the northern limit of the coral in
the Atlantic. The reef runs close to the shore on the south, and twenty
miles away on the north. Just within the northerly reef there is a large
rock which scientists tell us is the northerly peak of the mountain. The
whole English navy can anchor within the reef without scraping a keel.
The sea sand about the island is not like the gray sand of this region, but
is dazzlingly white, and the water appears of the color of an emerald.
The main island is twenty miles long, and from half a mile to a mile
and a half in width. There are three good roads, which run from end to
end of the island.
Some years ago, while examining the newspapers of the colonial period,
so carefully preserved in the Library of the New York Historical Society,
I came across several articles complaining of the supineness shown by the
men of New York and New England in permitting the Bermudians to
monopolize the carrying trade of the whole coast, from Nova Scotia to
Georgia.
There may have been exaggeration in these statements, but, after all,
they were substantially the truth. For the Bermuda vessels were all built
of the red cedar of the islands, a wood tougher, stronger, lighter, more
durable, and in all respects better fitted for the purpose than the woods
of which the American vessels were constructed. Besides, these Bermuda
craft were manned by negro slaves from the islands — the finest sailors in
the world — whose wives and children were at home working the gardens
and attending upon the families of their masters. How could the New
England or New York boy, ready to go before the mast for good wages
and with the hope of advancement to the post of mate or captain, enter
into competition with those who were owned, as were their wives and
children, by the commander of the vessel in which they were working?
The continental American, as I may call him, could make a better
profit by the labor of his slave on shore than he could by putting him at
work as a sailor, especially as his property was of a different quality from
the Bermuda negro, as I shall presently try to show.
As to the Bermuda Islands themselves, they were essentially a part

of America, and should never have been separated from the United
States. Settled at the same time, by the same classes of people, having
the most intimate relations with each other, there was no more difference
between the whites of Bermuda and those of the colonies than there was
between the provinces of Connecticut and of New Jersey. Every seaport
town, from Nova Scotia to Georgia, had among its citizens families of
Bermudians, generally in comfortable circumstances and of good social
standing. All were brothers, all Americans. It was not until the period
of our revolution that the islands were torn away from us. But the
islanders have never ceased to be, and always will be, Americans.
In January, 1833, tne inhabitants of these islands numbered about
eight thousand men, women, and children, of whom over five thousand
were blacks. On the morning of the 1st of August in that year these
blacks were slaves, but when the clock struck the hour of noon they
were free, with all the rights and privileges of freemen. The British
Government had purchased their liberty, and all who were able had
assembled in the forenoon at their respective parish churches, and were
on their knees at prayer when the joyous moment arrived. Then they
broke forth into songs of praise and thanksgiving. I was a small boy at
the time, but I well remember being on a veranda in the town watching
the procession returning from St. John's Church, Pembroke, with banner,
music, drum and fife.
I had the pleasure several years ago of presenting to this Society the
volume of the Royal Gazette containing the official list of the owners,
which is of value as showing that, as a rule, no one person owned more
than one or, at the utmost, two families, and that in the majority of cases
such ownership was limited to two or three slaves or even one.
No old widow, however poor, but that she had at least one servant
to bring her water from the cistern, and to make her cedar-wood and
lantana, or, as it is there called, sage-bush, fire. These slaves were all
either sailors or family servants. There were no vast fields of corn
or cotton to be cultivated. Each family raised enough corn, cabbage,
sweet and other potatoes, onions, and cassava for its own use, sometimes
adding, where the proper soil could be had, a small field of arrow-root
for the London market. For Bermuda arrow-root, the best in the world,
was too precious to be generally used at home. It always brought the
best of prices in London, to which city it was consigned, pledged there
before a plant was grown.
The colored people of Bermuda are a peculiar race, fine-limbed,
straight, tall, and with more than the ordinary number of bright, intelligent
persons among them. These qualities they probably owe to the fact that
when the Pequot Indians were defeated in war, scattered, broken up and
destroyed as a tribe in New England, those who were taken prisoners
were exported to the Bermudas and found there a ready sale. It was the
fate of many an Indian boy and girl, and, indeed, many a warrior and his
squaw, to live and die in these islands, broken in spirit, and accepting
their enslavement without a murmur. Indians and negroes intermarry-
ing, the superior race of colored people now inhabiting the islands is the
result. I think that we can properly claim for this race that they also are
Americans — aboriginal Americans indeed, as truly Americans as their
white fellow-countrymen can ever expect to be.
There are, however, exceptions to the general rule. I well remember
184 Bermuda Islands and their Connection with New York. [Oct.,
an old Guinea negro, the very picture of those dolls which were so com-
mon in the shops when we were children, but which we now so seldom
see. Short, black as jet, with little nose and eyes, and speaking broken
English in a low voice, old Aaron, who had been a prince in his own
country, was stolen from his native village and dropped at the islands by
a slave-ship (doubtless for a good round sum in old Spanish dollars).
This Aaron, when he became free, married an enormous black woman
named Rose, who was fully six feet in height and broad in proportion,
with a voice like a trumpet. Never was there a more ludicrous sight than
this old couple wending their way to church on Sunday morning, clad in
all their fineries. We children used to delight in dancing before them
and singing out, " High Priest Aaron and the Rose of Sharon." Nothing
could exceed the impotent rage of old Aaron. He shook all over as
with the palsy, and his jabbering, in his native African language, was
wonderful to hear, while Rose tried to drive us off with her gigantic arms.
Peace to their ashes ! They "quietly lie near their old master and mis-
tress, under the shadow of the parish church of St. John's.
The Bermuda Islands originally belonged to the company which
settled Virginia. That company sold them to certain London merchants,
one hundred and twenty in number, who were incorporated by King
James I. in 1 6 14, under the name of " The Governor and Company
of the City of London for the Plantation of the Sorner Islands." Be-
fore the year 1684 the company had sold all the land to actual settlers,
and yet insisted upon taxing the islands and upon receiving a proportion
of all the crops raised. The settlers at last complained to the home
government, legal proceedings were taken, and the company was dis-
solved. The English Government itself took the care and control of the
islands, which it has ever since maintained.
During the existence of the proprietary government the Church of
England was the only church. The Lords Proprietors always sent out
clergymen of the Established Church to the colony. But these clergy-
men belonged to the extreme Low Church party — indeed, so low that the
ministers often refused to read the prayers. The Litany, especially, was
their abhorrence, and the Church of England, in her own pulpits and by
her own clergymen, was often denounced. These ministers were hand
and glove with the New England preachers, sharing their views to a great
extent ; but they did not, as did the Massachusetts ministers, altogether
give up the services, or ignore the fact that they owed allegiance to the
mother church. About the year 1643, however, John Oxenford, the
famous New England minister, and Patrick Copland, as well known from
Pennsylvania southerly to Georgia as Oxenford was further east, intro-
duced the leaven of nonconformity. Oxenford soon left, but Copland,
the Rev. Nehemiah White, and the Rev. William Golding, all clergymen
of the Established Church, published a declaration to the effect that
"they did . . . lay down and relinquish their office of ministry in
the Church of England, acknowledging themselves to be but private
men," yet, as they held themselves to be a church, of themselves they
had entered into a covenant among themselves, "and were ready to
receive any members." The extremists, of course, soon joined them, and
a church was formed — a church hardly necessary, except as a testimony
to the truth, as they called it, for there never has been, either before or
since, in the Established Church of England, wherever settled, such lib-

erty as was then and there enjoyed by its ministers and its members. The
local government at last took the alarm, mustered up courage enough to
attack the new organization, and banished it to one of the uninhabited
Bahama Islands, where the majority of the members endured untold
suffering, by reason of shipwreck, loss of clothes, and scarcity of provisions.
Some of the survivors found their way back to the Bermudas. But no
independent congregational church again raised its head there. The
Rev. Mr. Copland was not included in the list of exiles, as he had been
only a sojourner and not a resident, and the court had no power to
banish him to its penal colony. But he deemed it his duty to follow his
church, and he did so.
The last minister sent out by the proprietary government was the
Rev. John Fowle, A.M., of the University of Dublin, who must have
been a priest, duly ordained, as the company sent no others.
In 16S5, however, he is called "an independent minister."
In 1694 his license was renewed by the new government, and he was
authorized to preach in any of the parish churches ; but he was to avoid
casting any reflections upon the Church of England. He could not have
obtained this new license if he had not received episcopal ordination.
He was officiating in Devonshire parish as late as 1704, although the
church had in the year 1700 sent to its Boston, Mass., friends for a
good, orthodox New England minister. None was sent. Doubtless
government interfered. The good people had forgotten that times had
changed, and that conformity to the Anglican discipline and ritual would
now be enforced.
The majority soon became used to the new rules. Latitudinarian-
ism took the place, as it did at home, of the former evangelical spirit
The ministers drank their wine, and joined in all the gayeties of the
government party, and the poor evangelicals had no place of Sabbath
rest.
At last, in 17 19, Thomas Gilbert, "for the manifestation of his love
for the people of the Presbyterian persuasion who were destitute of a
meeting-house wherein to assemble for the exercise of religious worship,"
conveyed a piece of land in Warwick for the purpose of erecting one.
The building was soon finished. No objection was made to its use as a
Presbyterian church, probably because it conformed to the discipline of
the Church of Scotland. The church is still standing, but was greatly
enlarged in the year 1837.
It will be remembered that it was in this same year 171 9 that the first
Presbyterian church was erected in New York. It stood in Wall Street,
between Nassau Street and Broadway. That church also conformed to
the discipline of the Church of Scotland, and its land and building were
conveyed to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Scot-
land, where it remained until after the revolution, when it was conveyed
to the trustees in New York.
Is there not reasonable ground for the belief that the erection of these
two churches, the one in Bermuda and the other in New York, at the
same time, was in consequence of a mutual understanding between their
congregations that the work should proceed in both places simultane-
ously ? The relations between New York and Bermuda at this time
were intimate. Many Bermudians were settled in New York, and many
of these settlers retained their homesteads in the islands, and often vis-

ited them. The distance is not great. I have, in a cedar sailing brig or
schooner, of, say, eighty tons, made the passage in fifty-eight hours. A
steamer can do little better.
It was in the first quarter of the eighteenth century, that is, between
1700 and 1725, that the trade between Bermuda and New York became
of some importance. The Bermudians had taken possession of Turk's
Island, one of the Bahama group, and were accustomed to go down
there every year at the proper season with their slaves to gather salt.
This salt was carried back with them, and shipped from Bermuda to all
parts of the American coast. The trade was lucrative. Among the prin-
cipal New Yorkers engaged in it was the well-known merchant Paul
Richard, at one time mayor of the city, the descendant of one of the early
Huguenot settlers of the same name. Richard had a branch of his widely
extended business in Bermuda. Associated with him were his brothers,
Eli, John, and Stephen. Eli took charge of the Bermuda business, which
consisted largely of the exportation of salt from the islands. Eli Richard
and his family were connected with the new Presbyterian church. He died
in Bermuda in the lifetime of his brother Paul, leaving two daughters,
Sarah and Elizabeth.
Paul Richard died about the year 1756, leaving a will dated in 1749.
He left no issue surviving him. By his will he divided his large estate
into five equal parts ; one-fifth part he gave to the children of his sister
Catharine, one of whom, Gertrude, wife of Dr. Thomas Randall, was the
mother of Thomas Richard Randall, to whose benevolence and fore-
sight we are indebted for that well-known institution, the Sailor's Snug
Harbor. Paul Richard deyised one other fifth part of his estate to the two
daughters of his deceased brother, Eli, of the island of Bermuda, they to
be entitled to the same when they respectively became of age.
We find that Elizabeth Richard, one of these daughters, was in New
York in the year 1763, for in that year she married Francis Landey Pat-
ton. Whether he was an American or a Bermudian we have not been
able to discover. We know, however, that the married pair, after a year's
residence in New York, sailed for Bermuda with their son, Eli Richard
Patton, and made that place their home. Mr. Patton's position there was
one of influence ; he was in public life for many years, esteemed and
honored.
Sarah, the other daughter of Eli Richard, married a Bermudian by
the name of Place, whose son, Paul Richard Place, married Sarah Jaun-
cey of New York, and had one son, Marinus Willett Place, who, with
Eli Richard Patton, son of Elizabeth, owned the property No. 126 Pearl
Street, Hanover Square, in this city, long occupied by the eminent dry-
goods firm of Dennis Perkins & Co. as their place of business. I well
remember collecting the rent, in the forties, when I was a boy, of that
store. The property was then still owned by the representatives of those
two sisters. Marinus Willett Place devised his half of the store to his
mother, Sarah Jauncey, who had married Henry W. Kingsland, of New
Jersey. I have given, perhaps, more than the fair proportion of space to
this subject of the Richard family, for the reason that the honored Presi-
dent of the College of New Jersey, at Princeton, is Dr. Francis Landey
Patton, the great-grandson of the Francis Landey Patton and Elizabeth
Richard, his wife, who, with their little boy, left New York for Bermuda
in the year 1764. President Patton's parents, grandparents, and great-
1894-] Bermuda Islands and /heir Connection with New Y01 k. j(S~
grandparents were members of the little Presbyterian church, and it was
through the preaching of the Gospel in that house of God that he him-
self became rooted and grounded in the faith.
To go back to the year 1719, when the Presbyterian church in Ber-
muda was erected. Its first minister was the Rev. John Fowle, the
Church of England clergyman of whom we have said so much. He
finally "went over," and was an earnest and devout Presbyterian. His
ministry was acceptable to his flock, and upon his death the Rev. Josiah
Smith became the preacher. He, in the year 1828, resigned his charge,
and became the minister of a church in Charleston, S. C. He married, in
Bermuda, a lady of excellent social position, and must have been a man
of education and good sense or he could not have become the minister of
a leading church in Charleston.
Mr. Smith was succeeded by the Rev. Mr. Paul, who was from the
South, and who was still the minister, " an aged wan," in the year 1748,
when the Rev. George Whitefield, the famous revivalist, visited Bermuda,
and he received that apostle with open arms.
He was not alone in this welcoming of the great preacher. High and
low, rich and poor, crowded to hear him.
Whitefield brought letters- of introduction from Mr. and Mrs. Smith
to their friends and relations in the islands, and these were sufficient to
assure to him attention from the best people. But his fame had preceded
him. The governor twice invited him to dinner. The houses of the
members of the council, the judges and the lawyers, were opened to him,
he was feted and caressed to his heart's content, but after all he dwells
longer upon his experiences at the Presbyterian church. The following
is an extract from his diary :
" Sunday, March 27. — Both morning and afternoon I preached to a
large auditory, for Bermudians, in Mr. Paul's meeting-house. Abundance
of negroes and many others were in the vestry, porch, and about the
house. The Word seemed to be clothed with a convicting power, and to
make its way into the hearts of the hearers. Between services I was
entertained very civilly in a neighboring house. Judge Bascom and
three more of the council came thither and each gave me an invitation to
his house. How does the Lord make way for a poor stranger in a strange
land ! After the second sermon I dined at Mr. Paul's, and in the evening
expounded to a very large company at Councillor Riddle's."
And so he goes on, page after page, telling of his dinners at the houses
of all the leading men, and his sermons in the Established and Presby-
terian churches.
And then: "Sunday, May 1. — -In the evening I preached in the
fields to a large company of negroes and a number of white people,
who came to hear what I would say to the negroes — I believe, in all,
fifteen hundred people. I gave the audience warning that I should en-
deavor to imitate the example of Elijah, who, when he was about to
raise the child, contracted himself to the child's length." He intended
that the negroes should hear the Word in all its simplicity.
" The negroes were sensible and attentive. When I asked them if they
did not all want to go to Heaven, one of them, with a very audible voice,
said, 'Yes,sir!' This caused a little smiling. He was afterwards questioned
by somebody why he spoke out so; he answered : ' The gentleman put the
question to us once or twice, and the other fools had not the manners to
I 88 Bermuda Islands arid their Connection with New York. [Oct.,
make any answer ; till at last he seemed to point at me, and I was
ashamed that nobody answered, so I did.'
"Some of the negroes were angry because I said nothing against their
masters. Blessed be God that 1 was directed not to say anything this first
time to their masters ! They would mind all I said to their masters and
perhaps nothing I said to them. Everything is beautiful in its season !
Lord, teach me that due season ! to give black or white a portion of Thy
Word."
He goes on to tell of the negroes and their criticism of his addresses,
and says : " From all which I infer that these Bermuda negroes are more
knowing than I would suppose them to be."
Would not the fact that so many of these colored people were the
descendants of the American Indians account in some degree for their
superior intelligence ?
There were many Bermudians, sea captains and others, who at this
period were engaged in the trade between the islands and New York,
among them the brothers James and John Jauncey and Thomas Vardill.
They all became residents of this city. John Jauncey was famous during
the French war as one of the most successful of privateers. He and his
brother James were owners of at least twenty-five vessels built expressly
for fighting. James by this time was a wealthy merchant, and John com-
manded his ships and was part owner of them. At one time Thomas
Vardill was owner with John of the " Snow " and " Mary Anne," carrying
thirty guns. This Thomas Vardill was (it is asserted) a descendant of
Robert Vardill, one of the earliest immigrants to the Somer Islands.
Thomas, his descendant, became port warden in this city. His mother
was still living in the Bermudas in 1781.
Thomas Vardill was the father of the Rev. John Vardill, D.D., born
in New York in 1752, a graduate of Columbia (then Kings) College,
who was appointed by the college Professor of Natural Law, History, and
Language at that college in 1773.
Rev. Dr. Vardill was an enthusiastic loyalist, wrote many pamphlets
and newspaper articles on the side of the crown, and in 1774 embarked
for England for the purpose of taking Holy Orders. He was elected in
the same year assistant minister of Trinity Church, but never returned
to the United States. He became rector of a country church in England,
and died there in 181 1, leaving a wife and daughter, but no son. Thomas
Vardill's first wife was Hannah Tiebout, of New York. He had several
other children, all born here in New York, among them Robert, Thomas,
Jonathan, Mary, wife of Thomas Bartow, and Eliza, wife of William
Mercer, but the name of Vardill is no longer to be met with.
James jauncey, the merchant, the brother of John, became one of the
most active members of the Wall Street Presbyterian Church, and he did
not forget the little Bermuda kirk from whence he came. His counte-
nance and support could always be relied upon when assistance was
required. The kirk was soon connected with the New York Presbytery,
and the intimacy between the churches was very great.
Upon the death of Rev. Mr. Paul the people applied to the Presby-
tery of New York for a minister to fill his place. After consulting with
Mr. Pemberton, the ce ebrated Joseph Bellamy, and Eleazer Wheelock,
the founder of Dartmouth College, Wheelock recommended his stepson,
John Maltly of New Haven, a tutor in the College of Nassau Hall (now
1894.] Bermuda Islands and their Connection with A'ezv Fork. \ Sg
the College of New Jersey), who was nephew of the well-known James
Davenport of New Haven. Maltly was ordained by the New York
Presbytery in 1754, and sent to Bermuda, where he remained until near
the close of his life, in 1771.
He was succeeded by the Rev. James Muir, who, while on a visit to
New York in 1788, was invited to preach in the Brick Presbyterian
Church in Beekman Street, as a candidate for the office of associate
minister with the Rev. Dr. Rodgers of the Wall Street Church. For the
new church had not severed its connection with the old one, the
associate minister of the Wall Street Church taking charge of the pulpit
of the Brick Church.
There were two parties in the church, the one in favor of Mr. Muir,
and the other desiring the appointment of a Mr. Morse for the vacant
place. These gentlemen preached for several months on probation,
and in the meantime the contest ran high and threatened very serious
consequences, as Dr. Miller says in his life of Dr. Rodgers. It lasted a
year, when Mr. Morse withdrew. Mr. Muir (afterwards Dr. Muir)
accepted a call to Alexandria, Va., and the church was left in peace.
The Rev. Enoch Matson, a native of Pennsylvania, was the next
minister in Bermuda. He began his labors in the year 1 79 1 . Although
the political connection between the Somer Islands and America had
been severed, the people still regarded each other as one people, as,
indeed, they were. Air. Matson continued to be the minister until his
death in 1831, at the age of seventy-three years. His funeral sermon
was preached by the Venerable Aubery George Spencer, Archdeacon
of Bermuda, afterwards Lord Bishop of Jamaica, W. I. Some of us
must have seen and heard the bishop at old Trinity, in this city.
The church is now connected with the Church of Scotland, and
obtains its ministers from thence.
During the early years of the ministry of Mr. Matson, Mr. Gardiner
Spring, afterwards well known as the pastor of the Brick Church in
Beekman Street (where Mr. Muir had preached so long on probation
without obtaining the coveted position), went to the islands. In his
autobiography he gives an interesting account of this early trip he made
to Bermuda, and his engagement there as tutor.
He says : "In the year 1805 I accepted an offer to go to the
islands as teacher, at a salary of fifteen hundred dollars per annum. I
opened school there and was disappointed. The inhabitants were high
churchmen, and no ardent friends of the United States. The minister
was a dissipated, drunken fellow, and the Sabbath day was no rest for
me."
We cannot think that the rector of the Church of England was " a
dissipated, drunken fellow," but the young teacher's patrons belonged
to what was called the best society, who monopolized all the govern-
ment offices, and belonged to the English Church, gave numerous
dinners, and expected their minister to be jolly, to drink as many bottles
of good wine, and to attend as many dancing parties, as they them-
selves did. This style of life was, of course, excessively distasteful
to the young New Englander.
He goes on to say : " The families who patronized me were among
the aristocracy of the island, and though they treated me with great
courtesy and kindness, made me feel that, though the instructor of their
I QO Bermuda Islands and their Connection with New York. [Oct.,
children, I was but a Yankee schoolmaster. They marked my depression
and my proud spirit, and were not less disappointed with me than I
was with them. Before the close of my first quarter they paid me a
full quarter's salary, and plainly told me that I if could not be contented
to remain they would release me from my engagement.
" But for an incidental visitation to a neighboring parish, where I
found a devout Presbyterian church, under the ministrations of the
Rev. Mr. Matson, I should have at once quitted the islands in disgust.
The Sabbath I spent in that parish was a day not to be forgotten. I
was in the midst of a God-fearing people, and heard an evangelical
sermon. I wept much, and the people saw it. The singing was
miserable. I endeavored to unite with it. At the close the minister
and the elders came around me, to inquire the name of the musical
stranger. I was alone, and again I wept. They took me by the hand
and introduced me to their families, and after becoming acquainted
with my history, and my object at the island, they engaged to establish
,1 school at ' Salt Kettle ' and to give me permanent and profitable
employment. I found many lovely Christian families there, where,
stranger as I was, 1 was treated as a son and a brother. "
So far his diary.
Before opening his school he went back to New Haven to get
married, and to bring his wife to the islands with him.
His first child, Samuel, was born at Salt Kettle ; he says that his
wife's chamber was amid a bed of geraniums.
That he had a very flourishing school, and that he and his wife and
his son enjoyed excellent health.
He further says : " I remained for more than a year, and went away
with fifteen hundred dollars in my pocket. It was a delightful year.
Everybody loved and respected us, and we loved and respected all
about us, except the poor slaves, who were liars and thieves.
" The occasion of leaving the island was solely the fear of war
between Great Britain and the United States, in which event all the
citizens who had remained on the island for more than a year would be
regarded as prisoners of war or be constrained to take the oath of alle-
giance to Great Britain."
Let me here say that the young Samuel Spring, born in Bermuda, of
parents so happy and so well suited to each other, lived to grow up to
manhood and to be a denizen of this goodly city. He married here the
daughter of Recorder Richard Riker, and his widow and daughter live
here, and prefer New York to any other place in the world. It was only
a few days ago that Mrs. Spring kindly sent to me the last Report of the
Northeastern Dispensary, valuable as containing an excellent portrait
and an obituary of her brother, the late John H. Riker. I noticed in
the list of consulting physicians of that institution the name of Dr.
Ellsworth Eliot, a name not unknown to us, and I have no doubt that
through him there is already a copy of the Report in this library.
Great changes have taken place in the Bermudas of late years. The
gentlemen of the olden time, proud of their grand dinners and their fine
old Madeira, have disappeared. The colored people have acquired real
estate. They have one or two representatives in the Assembly. An invi-
tation to a reception at the Government House can no longer be taken
as a mark of social standing.

The first blow to the prosperity of the islands was the loss of the salt
monopoly. The English Government, after a while, became conscious
of the fact that a colony of theirs had been, for over forty years, colo-
nizing for themselves, and were exercising supreme control over their
territory thus acquired ; so Turk's Island was taken away from them
and annexed to the British West Indies. Then the carrying trade along
our coast was lost, in consequence of our successful revolution. This
was the second blow.
The abolition of slavery in the islands made it necessary to pay
good wages to the sailors, and, to complete the ruin of the shipping inter-
est, the colored people of the West Indies refused to eat any longer the
salted codfish which had been their principal food, and which was to
them the badge of servitude. Whole cargoes, just from Newfoundland,
were thrown overboard. The trade in rum, sugar, and fish was at an
end, and the occupation of the Bermuda skipper was gone.
The children of these men are now found in every part of the United
States ; New York is full of them. They and their descendants will
continue to come here, for there is no opening for them at home. The
islands are overcrowded. The forests have been . cut down. But the
place is as beautiful as ever, and attracts many visitors. England has
made it one of the most strongly fortified of the islands now owned by
her, and she is continually adding to its strength and resources.

A LETTER FROM COL. JOHN BRADSTREET TO SIR
JEFFREY AMHERST IN 1762.
Contributed by John Schuyler.
[At the period when this letter was written Sir Jeffrey Amherst (b. in England
1 71 7 ; d. 1797) was Governor-General of the British possessions in America, and
Colonel Bradstreet (b. in England 1711 ; d. in New York City 1774) was his
Deputy Quartermaster-General, stationed at Albany. Bradstreet. had served under

1894-] Letter from Col. John Bradstreet to Sir Jeffery Amherst. \q.->
c Albany, \o"' Jany, 1762.
I be^; leave to remind your Excellency of an application made you by
the Elders & Deacons of the Dutch Church in 1759 f°r Pay fc*r the great
pasture here, affirming part had been taken to Erect Provision Store-
houses on & the remander intirely made use of by His Majesty's Oxen,
Horses, Carriages etc., and that your Excellency seeing the demand not
only unreasonable but in great part false did not think proper to allow
them anything, whereupon they have taken it into their Heads that I am,
as D. Q. M. General, answerable for all the damages they think they
have receiv'd and a Writ is out against me for a considerable sum of
monies on that account together with one for three thousand pounds for
Hire & damages of 180 Acres of grass Lands for His Majesties Service
from April 1759 to Jany 1760, tho the complainant has been offer'd
to leave the dispute to be delermin'd by reputable arbitrators, he not
being intitled to as many hundreds & lie claims thousands. As your
Excellency knows the People here and how extensive the necessary work
was to enable His Majestys Troops to penetrate into Canada, You will,
I believe, immediately conclude there is a necessity to take every step to
prevent these people succeeding in the^e suits to stop a large number of
much the same kind following directly on their success which would
be attended with so great expence to the Mother Country who deserves
another kind of return from a People whome she so lately, at an immence
expence sav'd from the hands of the most cruel Enemies. I beg leave
to say, it appears to me there are two ways to ward off these attacks it
prevent those intended — namely either by insisting on my not being
lvable to those demands or by disputing their Title to the Lands in
question as in Equity they have no right to them & by keeping posses-
sion of the former which I conceive mav be done with great propriety &
justice on the inclos'd Grant for the Public use. But from the great
number of attempts made on your Kxcellency by the Inhabitants of this
Country to recover Monies for work done and materials furnish'd for
His Majesty's Service under my direction, with your being sensible not
one of these Complaints ever appear'd to you to have the least colour of
justice or truth on their side, but on the contrary, manifest attempts to
Rob the Public, I humbly think our hopes to save the Mother Country
from these ungreatful & expensive attacks should not intirely depend on
a Jury made up of the People themselves, but from an appeal to the
King in Council if the Suits are given against us, with your Excellencys
representation of these Peoples behavour as it would make known their
Base endeavours to Plunder the Public from the commencement of the
War to the present time and thereby put these first attackers to great
expence without success, discourage & prevent any more of the kind
and the Crown be possessed of their Lands again.
As to my being made the principal in these cases I am perfectly
easey about it as I am sure of your Excellencys favor from your con-
stant attention to the Public good & from a faithful discharge of my
Duty to my King ifc Country consequently cannot fail of the protection
and support of our Gracious Sovereign & of the best of People.
I have the honor to be with great respect
Your Excellencys oblig'd and most obedient humble Servant,

NOTES AND QUERIES.
Campbell of Craignish. — The history of this important branch of the Clan
Campbell descended from Lochow, and whose records reach back to the twelfth cent-
ury, is about to be given to the public. The family papers and title deeds have been
placed for this purpose in the hands of Mr. Andrew Ross, the Marchmont Herald,
Edinburgh, Scotland, whose recent biography of Alexander Nisbet, the great Scottish
heraldic writer, prefixed to the " Xisbet Heraldic Plates " recently published by Messrs.
George Waterston cV Sons, Edinburgh, has been most favorably reviewed by the critical
journals. Time and accident have destroyed many of the family muniments, but there
jog Notes and Queries. [Oct.,
remains ample material for an exceedingly attractive and dramatic work. The origin
of the famous Clan MacRae will for the first time be fully discussed in the light of
existing documents, and many incidents illustrative of Highland manners and cus-
toms, preserved in the family papers, will be fully detailed. The documents have been
placed in Mr. Ross's hands unreservedly, and they disclose many a wild tale of High-
land warfare and revenge relating to a district of the country which was without the
control of the royal jurisdiction, and regarding which, consequently, the notices
appearing in the national records are few and meagre. In addition to the Craignish
branch of the Campbells, the work will contain historical and genealogical notices
of the following families : The Campbells of Lochow, Glenurchay, Lochnell, 1 >un-
staffnage, Barbreck, Ardkinglas, Kilberry, Dannay, Ardchattan, Sunderland, Laggan-
lochan, Inverliver, Bragglenbeig Askenish, and Carrick ; Macdonald of Islay, Mac-
donald of Antrim, MacEachairn, McMartine, McArthur, McNaughten, Mclver,
Mackisage, MacLeod of Rarsay, McNeill, MacCallum of Corvorranbeg, McCallum
of Poltalloch, McGilleis, Maclachlan and Macfarlane.
Church Centenary. — The First Church of Christ in East Haddam, Conn.,
will observe the one hundredth anniversary of the erection of its edifice, October 24,
1894. The structure whose century of existence is to be celebrated is the third
of those in which the Society has worshipped ; the first, thirty-two by thirty-two,
was erected in 1704 or 1705 ; the second, forty by sixty-five, was occupied in July, 1728.
The history of such a church for two centuries, embracing both colonial and State
life, and including participants in the French and Indian war, the Revolution, the
second war with England, and the Civil War, would be interesting. Every society,
civil and religious, should preserve and publish its history ; every church should copy
its baptisms, marriages, and records. r. h. G.
King. — Edmund King, Sr., of Halifax Court House, Va., had three wives :
1, Miss Beavers, by whom he had a son Robert, whose son was William ; 2, the
widow Thomas, who bore him one child, who died young; 3, Elizabeth, daughter
of William and Mary (Woodson) Thomas, and niece of the widow Thomas just men-
tioned. Elizabeth, the third wife, died April 2, 179S, and was buried at Halifax
Court House ; her children were : Polly, William. James, Edmund, Sarah, Eliza-
beth, Nancy, Joicy, and Peyton, born between the years 1774 and 1790.
Is anything known of the ancestry of Edmund King, Sr. ? His children and
William Rufus King, Vice-President of the United States, born 1786, are said to
have been second cousins. What proof is there of this?

kindly furnish me any information whatsoever relative to the ancestry, etc., of Rebecca,
daughter of Gen. Edward Tyng and wife of Gen. Joseph Dudley, of Massachusetts;
of Miss Stewart, of Calvert County, Md., who married a Benjamin Harrison, of Anne
Arundel County, Md., and was sister to "a General Stewart of Revolutionary fame,"
to whom, for his services, Congress presented a medal ; of John Stull, who married
Mercy Williams, sister to Gen. Otho Holland Williams ; of Nancy Edwards, who
married Zachariah Forrest, brother of Brig. -Gen. Uriah Forrest, of St. Mary's County,
Md. ; of David Hunter, grandfather of Major-General Hunter, U. S. A. ?

King — Correction. — In the obituary of the late David King, Esq., of Newport,
R. I., published in the July (1894) Record, it was stated that Lieutenant Philip
King, of Taunton, Mass., married Judith, daughter of Rev. William Whitman.
Rev. E. Sanford's pamphlet on the King family of Raynham, published at
Taunton in 1866, was the authority relied on. A descendant of Lieut. Philip King
informs the writer that it is now an established fact that Judith Whitman was the
daughter of Deacon John Whitman, of Weymouth, Mass., whose will mentions her
by name. r. k.
Old Register, All Saints' Parish Church, Newcastle-on-Tyne. — It is
intended to publish the above register of burials, baptisms, and marriages if sufficient
subscribers can be obtained.
The register dates back to 1598, is a most important one, and relates to nearly all
the distinguished families in the County of Northumberland.
Prospectus and order form may be had from W. Lindsey, Church Warden, All
Saints' Vestry, Newcastle-on-Tyne, England.

MUNSON. — A history and genealogy of the Munson family has been written and
will soon be published in two octavo volumes. The work will be profusely illus-
trated with portraits, views, fac-si miles and charts, and is expected to be of great
interest to all the Munson connection.

BOOK NOTICES.
Pedigree of Odell, of United States and Canada, 1639-1894, variously
written in the public records of England as YYadehelle, YYahulle, de Wahul, YVodhull,
Woodhull, YVodell, Odell, Odill, Odle, etc. Six lines of descent traced by Rufus
King, Esq., of Yonkers, Westchester County, X. Y. Copyright, 1894.
This recent contribution to genealogical literature is a large sheet pedigree, giving
an account of some of the descendants of Mr. William Odell, of Concord, Mass.,
who was a settler there as early as 1639.
The limited space has been carefully economized, and much valuable information
condensed. Care has also been taken to cite the authority for statements made.
Pedigrees arranged on this plan have much to commend them, showing as they
do at a glance the exact relationship of the several branches of a family. There is
no turning of pages backwards and forwards, or referring to cabalistic signs and
figures until the confused reader often lays down the book in despair.
The Odell family was rent asunder by the dissensions of the American Revolu-
tion, and we find Lieut. John Odell, with his brothers Abraham and William, stand-
ing shoulder to shoulder in the patriot army, while their kinsman, the Hon. and Rev.
Jonathan Odell, espoused the Royal cause, and filled many important offices under
the Crown. He was the well-known writer whose poetry has been published under
the title of " The Loyal Verses of Stansbury and Odell." His branch is now rep-
resented by Major William H. Odell, an officer in the English army.
In point of arrangement, the pedigree is all that could be desired, and as to its
typographical excellence, it is enough to say that it is from the press of De Vinne
& Co. M. s. J.
Memoranda relating to the Ancestry and Family of Hon. Levi Par-
sons Morton, Vice-President of the United States (1889-1893). By
Josiah Granville Leach, LL.B. The Riverside Press, Cambridge, Mass. , 1894. Svo,
half morocco, pp. 191.
This is not a campaign biography, but the genealogical history of a man who has
won his way to wealth and political preferment by force of character and sterling
integrity. Its author, Mr. J. Granville Leach, well known to genealogists as the
vice-president of the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania, has indicated the sources
of Mr. Morton's success by tracing his ancestry back in various lines, and showing
his forbears to have been men of character and ability. " Blood will tell " is gener-
ally considered an epigram rather than a truism, but that it is a truism no one

appreciates so well as the earnest student of family history. Mr. Leach treats in
more or less detail of the following families : Morton, Hartpence, Hopkins, Stetson,
Parsons, Strong, Stebbins, Sheldon, Frairy, Clapp, Holton, Hinsdale, Dickinson,
Barnard, Marshfield, Foster, and Reyner. The book contains a number of illus-
trations, has an excellent portrait of Mr. Morton as a frontispiece, and is well
printed and handsomely bound. T. G. E.
Some Account of the Temple Family. By Temple Prime (Huntington,
N. Y. , U. S. A.). Second edition. New York, 1894. 8vo, pamphlet, pp. 111.
The first edition, 1887, of this work was prefaced, "Published to court criticism,
and to elicit further information." A peculiarity of this writer is the insertion after
the Christian name, and before the surname, of the Roman numeral which designates
the several appearances of the name, and when it appears first it seems to create a
doubt which might be avoided if the I were bracketed, as Robert (1) Temple, rather
than Robert I Temple. This edition has the arms engraved, which makes intellig-
ible to all what is without meaning to the great majority. The second is not merely
the first reprinted with the " further information" elicited, as one might judge from
a casual glance, or from the paging, which is increased ten per cent. Some twenty-
four pages on Sir Jno. Temple's connection with the Hutchinson letters, the will
of Elizabeth Bowdoin, and the diploma of the College of Arms, 16S4, are omitted
entire ; hence, those who have the first need not cast it aside, as the larger does not
contain all of the smaller. The press-work is by De Vinne. R. H. G.
The History of Erie County, Pennsylvania, from its First Settlement.
By Laura G. Sanford. New and enlarged edition. Published by the author. 1894.
i2mo, pp. 458.
This handsome book was printed by the Chautauqua Century, though that does
not appear on the title page. The author has been active and apparently thorough
in the collection of facts. What she says in the preface is worthy of repetition : " If
in every State we had those who were unprejudiced and truth-loving to examine and
test the supposed history of their respective localities, and to record the testimony of
the aged, ' before they go hence and be no more,' truth would be vindicated, much
that is interesting rescued from oblivion, and a correct and minute history of our
country secured."
The King Memorial. By Henry P. Phelps. Albany : Phelps and Kellogg,
1893. S x 9.V, pp. 46.
This beautiful book, printed for private distribution, has for a frontispiece the
King Memorial Fountain, erected by Henry L. King in memory of his father,
Rufus H. King, every expense having been met by Mr. J. Howard King. " Child-
hood," " Youth," " Manhood," and "Age," full-page pictures from photographs of
the surrounding figures and groups ; Moses, the main figure; and a rear view of the
fountain, with portraits of Rufus H. King and Col. Henry L. King, increase its
value and attractiveness. There are sketches of the Messrs. King, an account of the
unveiling, and a description of the memorial. It is a worthy record of a noble gift.

The Great Commanders Series — General Washington, by Gen. Bradley
T. Johnston. General Scott, by Gen. Marcus J. Wright. New York ; D.
Appleton & Co., 1894.
The value of this series of short, compact biographies of eminent American mili-
tary leaders has been greatly increased by the addition of the two books before us.
As often as the life of Washington has been written, the purely military side of it
has never been so clearly and succinctly set forth as in this welcome volume from the
pen of Gen. Bradley T. Johnston; and Genera] Wright deserves unstinted praise
for his able account of the brilliant career of Winfield Scott.
Descent of John Nelson and his Children, with Notes on the Families
of Tailer and Stoughton. By Temple Prime. Second edition. New York,
1894. Svo, pp. 61.
This pamphlet, uniform with the " Account of the Temple Family " elsewhere
reviewed, has just come from 1 )e Vinne's press, and much that was said there might
be here repeated. Mr. Prime, while perfecting his first edition, has not repeated
everything here, and both editions are worth preserving. r. h. G.

' ' Those who do not treasure up the memory of their ancestors do*_not deserve to
be remembered by their posterity." — Edmund Burke.
'\m jjoijli |jen<|aIogi(ial and biographical Socfytg.
No. 23 WEST 44TH STREET.
This Society, which was incorporated in 1869, has for its chief
objects " to discover, procure, preserve and perpetuate whatever may
relate to Genealogy and Biography, and more particularly to the gene-
alogies and biographies of families, persons and citizens associated and
identified with the State of New York." These objects it aims at
accomplishing :
First — By meetings for the transaction of business, the interchange
of views and the reading of appropriate papers, and for discussions
relative to genealogy, biography and kindred subjects. These meetings
are held on the second and fourth Fridays of each month (excepting
July, August and September) at the rooms of the Society, the fourth
Friday meeting being usually of a social and conversational character
only.
Second — By collecting and maintaining a Library of Reference of
such books on History, Genealogy, Biography and kindred subjects,
both in printed and manuscript form, as may in any way contribute to
the purpose of the Society. Constant additions are being made to the
already large and valuable collection of several thousand volumes, and
contributions of town and local histories, genealogies, early newspapers
and historical and family papers are solicited.
Third — By the publication and dissemination, in such form and
manner and at such times as the Executive Committee may deem best,
of genealogical and biographical material and information. This is
mainly accomplished by the publication of a quarterly magazine known
as the "New York Genealogical and Biographical Record,"
edited by the Publication Committee of the Society, the first number of
which was issued in January, 1870. The bound volumes of this maga-
zine (full sets of which may be obtained from the Librarian) contain
early marriage and baptismal records of many of the Dutch and other
churches of New York State, family genealogies and historical and bio-
graphical articles, which are invaluable to those interested in their
family history. Subscription, $2.00 per annum in advance. The
Society has also published a limited edition of Vol. 1 of its Collections
containing the marriage records of the Reformed Dutch Church of
New York City, 1639 t0 1801, a few copies of which are for sale at
$15.00 each.
With a view to increase the usefulness of the Society, and for the
purpose of enabling it to add to its fund (now amounting, with the
Coles bequest, to over $22,000) for the erection of a fire-proof building
to contain the Society's archives and library, applications for member-
ship are cordially requested. For admission the candidate must be
nominated by a member and be approved and elected at a regular
meeting. Initiation fee, $5.00, and annual dues, $5.00, payable in
advance. The payment of $50.00 in lieu of initiation fee and dues
constitutes a Life Member. The Hall of the Society, No. 23 West 44th
Street, is open for the use of the members every week-day from 12 m. to
5.30 p.m., when the library may be consulted.

Testimonial from the late Hon. Marshall P. Wilder, Ph.D., LL.D., of Boston.
" No other work is so rich in materials which give an insight into the history of the
people of New England, their manners, customs, and mode of living in bygone days."
From the late Col. Joseph L, Chester, LL.D., D.C.L., of London, England.
" To me the work, of which I possess a complete set, is invaluable. I consult it
constantly, not only for matters relating directly to Americans, but also in reference to
English families of the seventeenth century, concerning whom these volumes contain a
vast amount of information not to be found elsewhere. There are no books in my library
that I would not sooner part with than my set of the Register."
