HON. HORACE RUSSELL.
Contributed by George M. Wright.
Hon. Horace Russell, a life member of this Society, died at
his home, No. 47 Park Avenue, in the City of New York, on the
14th of June, 1913. Mr. Russell was born at Bombay, Franklin
County, New York, June 19th, 1843, the s°n of Charles and
Hannah Wright Russell, both of whom were natives of Vermont
but had removed to Franklin County during- the early part of
the last century. His mother was a descendant in the sixth
generation from Lieutenant Abel Wright, a member of the General
Court of Massachusetts in 1695. Mr- Russell's father represented
Franklin County in the Assembly of New York, and was a
citizen of distinction in his locality.
Mr. Russell was educated at Kimball Union Academy, Meriden,
New Hampshire, at Dartmouth College, from which institution
he graduated in the class of 1865, and at the Law School of
Harvard University. After admission to the bar he took up his
residence in New York City, and in 1873 he was appointed an
Assistant District Attorney for New York, which office he held
until 1880. During that time he was an active participant in the
administration of the criminal law in the County of New York,
conducted the prosecution of many important cases, and took a
high stand for integrity and capacity among his brethren at the
bar. During the years 1879 and 1880 he held the office of
Judge Advocate General of the State.
Mr. Russell was appointed Judge of the Superior Court of the
City of New York in 1880 by Governor Cornell and held that
office for three years. His administration of the judicial office
was dignified and efficient.
In the year 1884 he was appointed a Receiver of the New York,
West Shore and Buffalo Railroad, and held that position until
the reorganization of the company, a period of about two years.
The duties of this great trust, during its pendency, almost entirely
prevented other professional labors, but after it was closed Mr.
Russell took an active part as counsel in many important liti-
gations.
2 Job Winslow' i Wife. [Jan..
He was elected President of the New England Society of the
City of New York in 1885, and Vice-President of the Association
of the Bar of the City of New York in 1904. Dartmouth College
conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Laws in 1903. Mr.
Russell was possessed of fine social qualities, and had a wide
circle of friends. In public office and in private life he endeared
himself to those with whom he came in contact. He loved out-
door sports, and in 1896 was made President of the Metropolitan
Golf Association. At his summer home in Southampton, Long
Island, and at his city house his hospitality was cordial and
generous. Broad in his sympathies, catholic in his tastes, loyal
in his friendships, honorable in his professional And personal
life, he was a good type of the transplanted New England stock
of which this city has many distinguished representatives.
Mr. Russell married Josephine Hilton, Feb. 26th, 1878, who,
with three daughters, survive him. Mrs. Russell was a daughter
of the late Henry Hilton, Judge of the Court of Common Pleas
of the City of New York (died Aug. 24th, 1899), by his wife
Ellen Jones (born March 20th, 1828), daughter of Edward Banker
of New York, the fifth in male descent from that Laurens Matthy-
sen of New Amsterdam and Sleepy Hollow, an account of whom
may be read in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record,
vol. xl, p. 87, et seq.
JOB WINSLOW'S WIFE.
By Richard Henry Greene.
Kenelme Winslow followed his brother, Gov. Edward Winslow,
of the Mayflower pilgrims, to Plymouth, Mass., in 1629, coming,
as is generally believed, on the second trip, with Winthrop's fleet,
when thirty-five of the Leyden church came to join the pilgrims
in New England.
Gov. Bradford in a letter to Mr. Shirley, dated May 25, 1629,
says: "Here are now many of your and our friends from Leyden
coming over. . . . With them we have also sent some servants
in ye ship called the Talbut, that wente hence latly; but these
came in ye Mayflower."
This, I think, proves that Kenelme Winslow and Josiah Wins-
low came in the same vessel in which their brothers Edward and
Gilbert Winslow came on her first voyage in 1620.
Kenelme married after his arrival here, in June, 1634, Eleanor
or Ellen, widow of John Adams, believed to be Eleanor Newton,
who came on the Anne in 1623 (New Eng. Hist. Gen. Register,
33, p. 410). Kenelme had four children: Kenelme, Eleanor,
Nathaniel and Job, the youngest who was born about 1641, prob-
ably at Marshfield, where his father had moved from Plymouth.
IQ14.] Job Winslow's Wife. 3
He was one of the proprietors who purchased "Ye freemans
lands at Taunton River" from the chief Wamsutta, April 2, 1659,
called Assonet, later Freetown, where he never settled, but his
son Job resided, coining from Swansea, where his house was at-
tacked by Philip's men, July 18 or 19, 1675. He was there since
about 1666. Job married about 1673 or Jan. 1674, Ruth .
Here is the matter we are attempting to clear up.
Davis, in his Landmarks oj Plymouth, says: Job married Ruth,
daughter of Daniel Cole, of Eastham (page 290).
In the Descendants oj Elisha Cole, by Jos. O. Curtis, N. Y.,
1909, we find: Daniel Cole married Ruth Chester and had:
John, b. July 15, 1644; m. Ruth, probably daughter of
Joseph Snow.
Timothy, b. Sept. 15, 1646.
. Hepsibah, b. April 16, 1649; m. (1) Geo. Crisp; (2) Danl.
Doane.
Ruth, b. April 15, 1651; m. (1) John, Nov. 16, 1669, son
of John and Abigail Young; m. (2) Capt. Jonathan
Bangs.
Israel, b. June 8, 1653; m. April, 1674-9, Mary Rogers.
James, b. Nov. 30, 1655.
Mary, b. March 10, 1658; m. May 26, 1681, Joshua, son
of Gyles Hopkins; she d. March 1, 1734.
William, b. Sept. 15, 1663; m. Dec. 2, 1686, Hannah,
dau. of Stephen Snow.
Daniel, b. Sept. 1666; m. Mercy, dau. Rev. Samuel
Fuller.
Also, The, Cole Genealogy, by Frank T. Cole, Columbus, O.,
1887, gives Ruth, b. April 15, 1651; m. John, eldest son of John
and Abigail Young of Eastham, b. in Plymouth Nov. 16, 1649.
John Cole, eldest son of Daniel, who m. Ruth, dau. of Nicholas
Snow, Dec. 12, 1666, and had a dau. Ruth, b. March 11, 1668; m.
William Twining, whose third child was Ruth Cole, b. August
27, 1699; also Hugh and Mary (Foxwell) Cole, had dau. Ruth,
b. Jan. 8, 1666.
The Gejiealogy oj James Cole oj Plymouth, by E. B. Cole,
Grafton Press, informs us that James Cole, m. 1624, Mary Lobel,
b. London, and had: James, b. England 1624, and Hugh, b. 1627,
in London probably. He came to New England in 1632 and
Plymouth in 1633. This Hugh Cole m. Mary Foxwell, dau. of
Richard and Ann Shelly; they removed to Barnstable; the first
wife died in Swansea; he m. (2) Jan. 1, 1689, Elizabeth, wid. of
Jacob Cook, and dau. of Thomas and Ann Lattice, of Plymouth;
she d. at Swansea, Oct. 31, 1693; he m. (3) Jan. 30, 1694, Mary,
wid. Ephraim Morton and dau. of Robert Shelly. He d. at
Swansea, Jan. 22, 1699. Of his ten children the sixth was Ruth
Cole, b. Jan. 8, 1666; m. Deacon Nathaniel Luther, June 10, 1693.
Hugh Cole lived at Swansea at the same time with Job Winslow.
James Savage in I, Neiv Eng. Genealogical Dictionary, at page
425, we read: Daniel Cole, Yarmouth, removed to Eastham 1643
. . . by wife Ruth had children (agreeing with Mr. Curtis
4 Job Wins low's Wife. [Jan.,
above except Daniel, the last named), and there "he d. Dec. si,
1694, aged 80, and his wife Ruth d. six days before, aged only 67."
On page 10, of Descendants of Elislia Cole, there is the Hop-
kins family, from which we abbreviate as follows: Stephen Hop-
kins, b. in England 1585; by his first wrfe he had two children:
Gyles and Constance. Gyles Hopkins, b. about 1608; m. in Yar-
mouth, Oct. 9, 1639, Catorne, dau. of Gabriel Whelden, and d. at
Eastham in 1.690; they had among others, Joshua, who m. Mary,
dau. of Daniel Cole; "the first of many marriages between the
Cole and Hopkins family," according to the author.
I have been thus careful to show the Cole family, and have
tried to show the locations where they lived; also to collect the
daughters in that vicinity of the name of Ruth in order to deter-
mine who is right in naming the wife of Job Winslow.
We have another family we should introduce: John Young
m. Abigail , Dec. 13, 1648, at Plymouth; he had:
John, b. Nov. 16, 1649.
Joseph, b. Dec, 1654.
Nathaniel, b. April, 1656.
Mary, b. April 28, 1658.
Abigail, b. Oct., 1660.

Gyles Hopkins and Daniel Cole lived in the localities in which
Job Winslow lived. We have stated he was born in Marshfield,
but the three families lived in Yarmouth and Eastham at the
same time and finally Job settled in Freetown. He became
selectman there in 1686; town clerk and grand-juryman in 1690;
assessor 1691, 1701 to 1706 and 171 1; moderator of the annual
town meetings in 1708 and 171 1; deputy to general court in 1686,
and representative in 1692. He was also the highest military
officer, having been commissioned lieutenant-commandant of the
Freetown train bands by authority of King William and Queen
Mary. He was, therefore, a man of importance.
Job Winslow had thirteen children; six are recorded in Swan-
sea: Hope, on page 17; Job, page, 18; Oliver, page 41; Ruth,
page 51, and Richard the same; William, page 69; the rest ex-
cept Joseph and Elizabeth are from the records of Freetown, but
these two are not recorded so far as I have found.
In Job's will, dated Nov. 12, 1717, he mentions wife Ruth and
all the children except Mary, Hope and John; Mary and Hope
may have died, but John was living and married 12 years after.

Elizabeth, b. 1696-7; m. John Marshall.
I cannot tell why Elizabeth's birth or the date of her marriage
was not recorded; according to family records she married John
Marshall in 1725; he was of Windsor, Conn., but was a shipwright,
like his father-in-law, and engaged in building ships on the
Taunton River. They had nine children, all born at Freetown.
John Marshall died May, 1772, aged 69. Elizabeth Winslow
Marshall moved with Ruth, the youngest child, to East Haddam,
Conn.; others of the family seem to have removed to the same
place, but I cannot say if before or after their mother.
We can often make a prima facie case, or at least get a good
clue, from family names; take the Cole family names in order to
see if they are repeated in Job's and Ruth's children.
Ruth should be excluded in such a test; John, James, Mary
and William are perhaps so common we find them in almost every
family, but Timothy, Hepsibah, Israel, Daniel in the Cole family
are not repeated in the family of Job and Ruth, where we find
Oliver, Richard, Hope, Job, Joseph, George, Johnathan and
Elizabeth Winslow.
Again if we take the children of Gyles Hopkins we can prove
nothing, for Mary, John and William with Ruth appear in both,
and the youngest child is Elizabeth both in the family of Job
Winslow and Gyles Hopkins.
We should expect Gyles or Kenelme or some such name, but
we have only Job and Ruth and these do not help us. Of the
seventy-six grandchildren of Job and Ruth, Job has two name-
sakes and Ruth three. These families lived near each other and
were intimate, so a marriage is possible in either family.
If we examine their ages, Ruth Cole was b. in April, 165 1;
Ruth Hopkins in June, 1653, a difference of two years and two
months; the former is ten years younger than Job Winslow, and
if she married Young was then eighteen years old; on the other
hand, Ruth Hopkins was twenty years old when Job Winslow
was married, and forty-four when his youngest child was born.
Mary, her sister, was married at twenty-five, and Abigail at
twenty-three, and if Ruth married Job their ages would not be
disproportioned.
Gyles or Giles Hopkins came with his father Stephen and a
step-mother on the Mayflower in 1620; he was born between 1605
6 Job Win slow 's Wife. [Jan.,
and 1608; he was of Yarmouth 1639 to 1642, and married there
Oct. 9, 1639, Catorne or Catherine Whelden, perhaps daughter of
Henry of Yarmouth; they moved to Eastham in 1643. The will
of Gyles Hopkins, dated Jan. 19, 1682, with codicil March 5,
1688-9, recorded April 22, 1690, prove 'that he died between
March, 1689, and April, 1690 (N. S.). He mentions wife Catorne
and sons: Stephen, Caleb, Joshua and William, every living son
since John had died. Bradford wrote in his history in 1650:
" Gyles Hopkins is married and hath four children." His chil-
dren were as follows:
Mary Hopkins, b. at Yarmouth, Nov., 1640; m. Samuel
Smith of Eastham, Jan. 3, 1665.
Stephen Hopkins, b. at Yarmouth, Sept., 1642; m.
May 23, 1667, Mary Merrick, dau. of Ens. William
and Rebecca Merrick of Yarmouth.
John Hopkins, b. at Yarmouth and died in 1643 when
three months old.
Abigail Hopkins, b. at Eastham, Oct., 1644; m. William
Merrick, eldest son of William, on May 23, 1667.
Deborah Hopkins, b. at Eastham, June, 1648; m. Jo-
siah Cooke.
Caleb Hopkins, b. at Eastham, Jan., 1650.
Ruth Hopkins, b. at Eastham, June, 1653.
Joshua Hopkins, b. June, 1657, at Eastham; m. May
26, 168 1, Mary, dau. of Daniel Cole of Eastham.
William Hopkins, b. Eastham, Jan. 9, 1660.
Elizabeth Hopkins, b. Nov., 1664; d. Dec, 1664.
There is another source of information better on many ac-
counts than a single family history, and this is David Hamlin's
First Settlers of Eastham, Mass., furnished to and printed by the
N. E. Historic Genealogical Register in Jan., 1852, and following
numbers. This antedates much of our matter given before,
having been printed more than sixty years ago. We believe
these to be from the original records made at the time; hence
they are earlier than Savage, who prepared his dictionary in i860.
John Farmer's Genealogical Register of First Settlers of New
England came out in 1829 and was the foundation of Savage, but
he does not mention Job Winslow, Gyles Hopkins, Daniel Cole
or John Young. In these Eastham records of David Hamlin the
statement occurs: "John Young, son of John, married Ruth Cole,
daughter of Daniel." This seems to me the best proof thus far.
Taking Ruth Cole out of the candidates for lob Winslow's
hand, is there any one who is prepared to name any of the num-
erous Ruths as his wife. I will give many of these Ruths with
what I can learn of them. Some of the inquirers in the genea-
logical column of the Boston Transcript may know more than I
do and some may show why Ruth Hopkins, daughter of Gyles,
may not have been the one.
To be the mother of Job Winslow's children she must be a
Ruth, and marriageable in 1673. It would seem that in that early
day, and within so small a territory, one might discover her
family name. Acting on this idea I began to collect the Ruths
1914.] Job Wins low's Wife. 7
on and near Cape Cod; then I sought to find if she was married,
and here is the result first of those who were married:
Ruth Alden, m. May 12, 1657, John Bass.
Ruth Chipman, b. 1663; m. Eleazer Crocker.
Ruth , b. 1648; m. 1673, Thomas Kendall.
Ruth Eddy came in 1630; m. Ezekiel Gardiner.
Ruth Merrick, b. May 15, 1652; m. Jan., 1677, Edmund
Freeman.
Ruth Bangs, b. 1652; m. , Sears.
Ruth Goodspeed, b. April 13, 1652; m. John Davis, Jr.,
Feb. 2, 1674.
Ruth Chandler, m. Daniel Cole.
Ruth Michelson, m. Samuel Champney, 1692; then
widow Jno. Green.
Ruth Bassett, m. 1655, John Sprague.
Ruth Foxwell, b. March 25, 1641; m. Nelson.

Clement Topliff.
Ruth Chester, m. 1643, Daniel Cole.
Ruth Cole, b. 1667; m. March 26, 2689, Wm. Twining.
Ruth Snow, m. Dec. 12, 1666, John Cole.
Ruth Partridge, m. June 1, 1670, Ralph Thatcher.
Ruth Jackson, m. Ebenezer Nelson.
Ruth Sargent, b. 1686; m. Jonathan Winslow.
Ruth Winslow, m. 1677, Richard Bourne.
Ruth, m. Nathaniel Thayer.
Ruth Cole, b. 1666; m. Deacon Nathaniel Luther.
Ruth Cole, b. April 15, 165 1; m. John Young.
The above twenty-two Ruths are removed from our search.
Here are others in which I have been able to find the birth but
no marriage; however, many of these were born so late they
cannot be considered:
Ruth Bass, b. about 1662.
Ruth Godfrey, b. Jan. 1, 1675, Eastham.
Ruth Cole, dau. John, b. March 11, 1668.
Ruth Kendall, b. Oct. 19, 1675.
Ruth Cooke, b. 1666.
Ruth Norket, b. 1728, Eastham. *^
Ruth Thatcher, b. Nov. 1, 1675.
Ruth Bryant, b. 1673.
Ruth Sprague, b. Feb. 12, 1659.
Ruth Turner, b. March 19, 1685.
Ruth Snow, b. Oct. 14, 1679.
Ruth Thayer, b. July, 17, 1689.
This list, until I discovered the dates of birth, were considered
possibilities. Now I have only four left among my eligible
Ruths.
1. Ruth Eddy, b. 1649, at Plymouth or at Watertown, where
her parents moved in 1631. The fact of the family living so
far away makes me think she could not be the wife of Job
Winslow.
8 The Records of the Presbyterian Church of Smithtown, [Jan.,
2. Ruth Tracy, dau. of Stephen, b. 1629. The father re-
turned to England in 1654, leaving five children in New Eng-
land, two sons and three daughters. Mary m. Henry Cullifer;
Susanna m. John Simons; of Ruth I find no record of marriage
or death, but she was a dozen years older *than Job.
3. Ruth Hopkins, daughter of Stephen, the pilgrim, was born
in Plymouth; is mentioned in her father's will in 1644, but sup-
posed to have died before Bradford wrote as follows in 1650:
" Mr. Hopkins and his wife are both dead, but they lived above
20 years in this place, and had one sone and 4 daughters borne
here . . . one daughter dyed here and 2 are maried, one of
them hath 2 children, and one is yet to mary. So their Increase,
which still survive are 5. But his sone Giles is maried and hath
4 children."
Ruth must have been the daughter who died, as appears from
the settlement of her younger sister's estate in 1659.
4. Ruth Hopkins, daughter of Gyles, b. June, 1653, three
years after Bradford wrote. I find no account of her death, and
no report of her marriage.
And though I find no record or established proof of her mar-
riage, I see no reason or proof to the contrary. Job Winslow,
we know, married a Ruth. Can any one say her last name was
not Hopkins?

1914.] The Ancestry of Anne Hutchinson. ij
THE ANCESTRY OF ANNE HUTCHINSON.
By John Denison Champlin.
Anne Hutchinson, the most noted woman of the seventeenth
century in the New England colonies, was as remarkable for
ancestry as for culture and force of character. The daughter
of the Rev. Francis Marbury and of Bridget Dryden, great-
aunt of John Dryden, the Poet Laureate, she first saw the light
in the village of Alford, on the borders of the Fen District in
Lincolnshire, and was baptized in the parish church of St. Wilfrid,
July 20, 1591. Her father removed, when she was fourteen
years old, to London, and there she was married in the church of
St. Mary Woolnoth, Aug. 9, 1612, to William Hutchinson, also a
native of Alford. The couple returned to Alford and made their
home there, and on the registers of its church are recorded the
baptisms of fourteen children born to them before 1634, when
the family emigrated to New England.
Marbury Ancestry.
The Marbury family was descended through heraldic lines
from Charlemagne and Alfred the Great, and consequently from
most of the other royal houses of Europe. Robert Marbury, the
great-grandfather of Anne (Marbury) Hutchinson, was the son
of William Marbury (see G) of Girsby, Co. Lincoln, and of Anne,
daughter of Thomas Blount, son of Walter, Lord Mountjoy.
The Blounts (see C) were lineally descended from Rodolphus,
Count of Guisnes in Normandy, three of whose sons went into
England with William the Conqueror. The Counts of Guisnes
were directly descended from Charlemagne through Judith,
daughter of his grandson Charles le Chauve (the Bald), who
married Baldwin I, the first Count of Flanders (see A).
Walter, the first Baron Montjoy or Mountjoy, was the grand-
son of Sir Walter Blount who accompanied the Black Prince and
John of Gaunt to Spain in 1367 in the expedition in aid of Pedro
the Cruel, whose daughter Constantia, John of Gaunt married in
137 1. After the return to England, Sir Walter married Donna
Sancha de Ayala, who had come in attendance on Donna Con-
stantia. Donna Sancha belonged to one of the most illustrious
houses in Spain, of which an old Spanish poet sings:
"Quien con Aydla se topa
No le falteran abuelas."
(He who is connected with Ay£la will never need ancestors.)
Donna Sancha, daughter of Don Diego Gomez de Toledo and
of Donna Inez Alfon de Ayala, was fourteenth in descent from
Don Vela de Aragon, Infante of Aragon, to whose son, Don
Sancho Velasquez, Alfonso VI, King of Castile, gave the Lord-
ship of Ayala in 1074 (see D).
Sir Walter Blount, or Blunt, as he is called by Shakespeare,
who introduces him so prominently in the first part of " King
1 8 The Ancestry of Anne Hutchinson. [Jan.,
Henry IV," was slain in 1403 in the battle of Shrewsbury, in
which Henry IV overthrew Harry Hotspur and his allies and
where Sir John Falstaff " fought a long hour by Shrewsbury
clock." Sir Walter, the King's standard bearer, was one of
several knights who wore armor like* that of the king, as a
measure of protection for their royal master, and fell by the
hand of Archibald, Lord Douglas. When Douglas claims that
he has slain the King, Hotspur exclaims: "
" No; I know this face full well:
A gallant knight he was, his name was Blunt,
Semblably furnished like the King himself."
A
Descent from Charlemagne and Alfred the Great.
1. Charlemagne, King of the Franks and Emperor of the
Romans (742-814), m. Hildegarde, dau. of Childebrand,
Duke of Suabia.
2. Louis I, Le Debonaire, Emperor of the West (778-840),
m. Judith of Bavaria, dau. of Count Welf (Guelph) of
Althorf.
3. Charles II, Le Chauve, King of France and Emperor of
the Romans (823-879), m. Richeldis, dau. of Boso, King
of Burgundy.
4. Judith, m. Baldwin I, Bras de Fer, first Count of Flanders,
d. 879.
5. Baldwin II, Count of Flanders, d. 919; m. Elstrude or Al-
fritha, dau. of Alfred the Great, King of England (see B).
B
Descent from the Counts of Flanders and the Counts
of Guisnes in Normandy.
The Counts of Guisnes owe their origin to Sigefrede, a
Danish Prince, grandson of Harold V, King of Denmark, and a
descendant also of Walter, Count of Ponthieu, Guisnes, and
Saint Pol. Through the latter descent he claimed Guisnes as
his lawful inheritance and, after the manner of the time, landed
with a band of Northmen and occupied the terrritory, now in-
cluded in the department of Pas de Calais. He immediately
took measures to fortify his new possessions, building a strong
castle on the River Guisnes and surrounding it with a double
fosse. This castle stood until 1558, when it was demolished by
the French government.
When Count Arnulph of Flanders heard of this usurpation,
he summoned Sigefrede to appear before him, his lord para-
mount, and answer for his conduct. Arnulph received him
angrily, but impressed by his bold and defiant bearing, became
reconciled, gave him the Lordship of Guisnes as a fief of the
Counts of Flanders, and bestowed on him the hand of his
daughter Elstrude, great-granddaughter of Alfred the Great of
England (see A).
The descendants of Sigefrede therefore, of the Danish royal
line on the paternal side, share on the maternal side with those

Of the sons of Rodolphus or Raoul, third Count of Guisnes,
who accompanied William the Conqueror into England, Eustace
returned to France to succeed his father as fourth Count of
Guisnes, while Robert and William remained in England. The
two latter were called le Blonde from the fairness of their hair
and complexion, and this sobriquet, after assuming various forms,
became a patronymic as le Blunt or le Blount and finally, in the
fourteenth century, plain Blunt or Blount. Robert le Blount re-
ceived from the Conqueror estates in Suffolk and became Baron
of Ixworth.

From the similarity of the dates of birth of the
two Georges (Nos. 984 and 986) and also their
dates of death, I am under the impression that
there was but one George7 Thacher, and he the
George 1st, No. 984, and that the various authori-
ties have become confused and recorded two. I
am unable to determine the matter, so have given
them both as given by one or another authority.
It makes but little difference, however, as both died
in childhood.
Lot6 Thacher married, a second time, at , date of
marriage , to Huldah Millard, born , 1770 (see age
at and date of death), at , died July 8th, 1836, aged 66
years. She was a daughter of John Millard (married Novem-
ber 12th, 1761), by his wife, Huldah (Cushman-Fearing) Mil-
lard, of Freetown, Mass. Huldah Cushman-Fearing was the
widow of David Fearing, the father of Lot6 Thacher's first
wife, and so she was the mother of both his first and second
wives by her first and second husbands, respectively.

Joseph Vincent, Sr., and his wife, Sarah6 (Thacher) Vin-
cent, removed to Ashfield, Mass., in an ox cart; they were thir-
teen (13) days on the journey. Joseph Vincent was accompanied
by a brother and his wife. The two wives upon reaching the
rude log hut which was their destination, ate their supper in
silence, went out and sat under a tree in silence for a long time,
when one of them exclaimed, "Are our husbands fools or not?"
George Hawes of Ashfield, Mass., under date of July 25th,
1907, says : "The Cemetery, called the North West, where lie
the mortal remains of Joseph Vincent and his wife Sarah6
Thacher has a special interest just now. It is one of the many
small neighborhood or family burying-grounds that were com-
mon throughout New England in the 18th and 19th centuries.
This one when founded was upon a main travelled highway
(since discontinued), and now lying remote from the homes or
footsteps of men, has thus become neglected, lying as it did in
a pasture. It was in use from 1790 to 1850. The last burial, that

of an old lady of 99 years of age, took place there in 1866. We
find the names of about 50 or 60 bodies lying there. Within the
year past Mr. Zebulon Bryant Taylor, a descendant of Joseph
Vincent and Sarah Thacher, has had the ground cleared, stones
reset, wall rebuilt, and has erected a fine monument bearing the
name, date of birth and death and age of all those known to be
buried there, at a cost of $1,000.00 and also another monument
to the memory of his nearer relatives there, making the spot a
glory and grace to the town. There are many good photographs
of the monuments to be had."
Mr. Zebulon Bryant Taylor informed the compiler of these
notes that he has left $1,000.00 in his will to the town of Ashfield,
Mass., the interest on which is to be used in keeping the sacred
spot in good condition.

According to Allen's Thacher Genealogy, p. 60, Hon. David6
Thacher received a college education. He was for many years a
leading man in Yarmouth. Later, on account of better business
facilities, he removed to Dartmouth, Mass., where he built the
first salt works. He failed in business on account of the em-
bargo of 1812. He afterwards removed to Egg Harbor, N. J.,
and died in reduced circumstances. He was a man of superior
education, and was noted for his courteous and urbane manners.
Captain Daniel Wood of New Bedford, Mass., stated that
when David6 Thacher moved to Dartmouth he must have been
worth $30,000. He was a manufacturer of salt and magnesia.
He failed on account of the speculations of his son Lothrop
Russell7 Thacher and also on account of the embargo of 1812.
He afterwards went to Egg Harbor, N. J., in behalf of a com-
pany for the purpose of building and carrying on salt works. It
is said that he opened a store in Philadelphia, Pa., at one time.
He was a leading man in Dartmouth, Mass. "I have the highest
opinion of him ; I have met noblemen in Russia and England,
1914.] Thacher-Thatcher Genealogy. 4 1
but I have never met so perfect a gentleman as the 'Squire' as
David8 Thacher was called." It is said that David6 Thacher
went from Egg Harbor, N. J., to Lewes, Delaware, and thence

ing inscription from the Old Burying-ground at Yarmouth,
Mass.: —
"Sacred to the memory of Mrs. Sarah Thacher, the amiable
consort of David Thacher, Jr., Esq., who died July 21st, 1793,
in the 23rd year of her age.
While weeping friends bend o'er the silent tomb,
Recount her virtues and her loss deplore,
Faith's piercing eye darts through the dreary gloom
And hails her blest where tears shall flow no more."

PHILIPPE DUTRIEUX.
By Kathlyne Knickerbacker Viele.
The recent discovery of several new facts concerning this early
settler of Manhattan Island seems to justify the publication of a
brief account of him in the Genealogical Record.
On a map of New Amsterdam as it was about 1644, which is
to be found in the front pages of J. H. Innes' New Amsterdam and
Its People, will be seen a large tract of land on the East side of the
island marked "Land of Philip de Truye." This land of Philippe
Dutrieux, or de Truye as the Dutch called him, was situated in
what was then known as "Smit's Vly" and now is partly occupied
by Fulton Market. Philippe was one of the few early settlers
whose land can be readily located, and although he did not take
out a patent for it till 1640 he doubtless had owned it long be-
fore. A patent was often sought for only when land occupied by
a settler and bought by him from its Indian owner was about to
change hands.
What is told by Mr. Innes concerning Philippe Dutrieux was
gathered by him from the various but limited sources of informa-
tion left by the early chroniclers of Manhattan Island and is
about as follows:
Philippe Dutrieux, a Walloon, born about 1585, was in New
Amsterdam during Gov. Minuit's administration (1626-33). In
1638 he was Court Messenger or Marshall. His wife was Susanna
du Chesne and his children, according to Pearson and the Dutch
church Records, appear to have been Abraham, who was a skip-
per on the Hudson river; Marie, who married Cornelis Volkerts-
zen Viele before 1640, and Jan Peek in 1650; Sara, who in June,
1641, married Isaac de Foreest; Susanna, who in July, 1644, mar-
ried Evert Janse Wendel; Rebecca, who married Simon Simonse
Groot; Rachel, who in 1656 married Hendrick Van Rommel, and
in 1677 married Dirck Janse de Groot; and two sons, Isaac, bap.
in New Amsterdam, April 21, 1642, and Jacob, bap. there Dec. 7,
1645. Besides these children there appears to have been a son
52 Philippe Dutrieux. [Jan.,
Philip, as in 1653 "the widow of Philip du Trieux " makes deposi-
tion that " her son Philip (who was also murdered) was at the
time of his death earning the monthly sum of ioof."
From these records it would appear that the children ascribed
to Philippe Dutrieux were at least very difficult to place and the
discovery of his first marriage simplifies the genealogical puzzle.
But before proceeding to give the facts that have just come to
hand it must be suggested that a wider interest than a mere mat-
ter of family genealogy is here involved. The earlier history of
Philippe Dutrieux confirms the historical data which has led his-
torians of New Netherland to place the first settlement of that
Colony in 1624, and to ascribe to a company of Walloons who
came thither in that year under the leadership of Jesse de Foreest
the honor of being the first citizens of what is now New York.
In 1924, when the State of New York celebrates its three hun-
dredth anniversary as a European settlement, Jesse de Foreest
and his little band of exiled Walloons will be found to lead the
long procession of emigrants who for one reason or another have
made the New World their resting place. And of the few of this
early company who settled on Manhattan Island Philip Dutrieux,
because of his now full record, may claim special consideration.
It need scarcely be said that the Walloons were French-speak-
ing Protestants who in the sixteenth century were driven by
religious persecution from their homes in the wedge-like country
between France and Germany into England and Holland, taking
with them certain industrial arts such as lace-making and the
weaving of textiles, in which they excelled. Many of these went
to Leyden where they established a church. Of the Walloons in
Leyden Dr. Wm. Elliot Griffis says in his book on Belgium: "In
the Walloonsche Bibliothek or library alongside of St. Peter's church
at Leyden . . . one may discover his ancestry . . . as in
this storehouse of names, relics and mementoes he traces the per-
sonality of some refugee for conscience' sake . . . till rest
was found ... in the hospitable soil of free America."
Jesse de Foreest was one of these Walloons who settled at
Leyden; he was a dyer and there pursued his calling, belonging
no doubt to the Guild of the Dyers. Philippe Dutrieux we find
was also a worsted dyer and it was perhaps belonging to the same
Guild as well as to the same church that influenced him to join
de Foreest's company "pour Westinde" in 1624.
From the records of this Walloon church at Leyden we learn
that on August 15, 1617, Philippe Dutrieux and his first wife
Jaquemine Noiret became members. Four years later, his first
wife having died, we find Philippe Dutrieux in Amsterdam be-
trothed to his second wife Susanna du Chesne, and three years
later (1624) he procures from the church at Leyden an " attesta-
tion," as the Dutch call it — a transfer — as "pour Westinde."
Here is a translation of the Act of Betrothal copied from the
Archives of Amsterdam on September II, 1913, by P. T. Kapstyn,
Search Clerk of the City Archives of Amsterdam:
1914J Philippe Dutrieux. n
"On Julyi7th, 1621, appeared before the Commisaries of mat-
ters concerning marriages, Philippe Dutrieux of Roby aged
thirty-four years and living in the Runtstreat, worsted dyer,
widower of Jacquemyne Noiret, to Susanna'du Chesne, of Sedan
aged twenty years, orphan, assisted by Jean Pinson her cousin,
living in the Bisschopstreate requesting their three Sunday procla-
mations (bans)."
(Signatures)
It was on March 9, 1624, that Philippe received his certificate
from the church at Leyden as "pour Westinde." This was to
use in the new church in the New World whither he and his
family went on the good ship New Netherlands
As to family genealogy these papers show that some of Phil-
ippe's children were undoubtedly by his first wife. There is a
Jacomintje Dutrieux who was probably the daughter of Abraham
Dutrieux and there was Jacomintje Viele who was daughter of
Marie Dutrieux and her first husband. It seems more than prob-
able that these two, Abraham and Marie, were the children of
Jaquemeyne Noiret. All the others of whom we have record ap-
pear to have been the children of Susanna du Chesne, who it will
be noticed was considerably younger than her husband. There is
no mention of the marriage of Philip Dutrieux, Jr., but he must
have been well-grown to have been earning so much at the time
of his decease. It seems likely that the Isaac Dutrieux who set-
tled at Schenectady in 1670 with his "cousin," Jacobus Peek (son
of Marie Dutrieux), was the son of Philippe's son Abraham and
not of Philippe himself. Two facts make this at least probable;
the first is that Isaac names his eldest son Abraham, and the
second that Jacobus Peek is called his cousin in the deed of sale.
A list of the children of Philippe Dutrieux born in Holland may
yet come to light.
Correspondence on this matter with Mr. A. J. F. van Laer,
the archivist in the State Library at Albany, brings the additional
information that Robey was "doubtless Roubaix in the north of
France which is well-known for its dye-works." Mr. J. H. Innes
also writes: "The facts (relating to the discovery of certain
records concerning Philippe Dutrieux) are important as showing
what I have always suspected, that he was one of the very first
settlers. You do not have to resort to the supposition of a
changed voyage from the 'West Indies,' because that term is used
almost entirely for New Netherland in the first years of the set-
tlement. See various entries in the ecclesiastical records."
The name Dutrieux became later Truax.

^4 The Hempstead Census of i6g8. [Jan.,
THE HEMPSTEAD CENSUS OF 1698.
Communicated by Edw. Doubleday Harris.
The original document containing the names of the inhabitants
of the town of Hempstead, Queens Co., New York, in August,
1698, for many years was one of the treasured possessions of the
State Library in Albany. It consisted of eight pages of manu-
script, in excellent preservation, the names arranged in four
columns to the page, evidently compiled from a house to house
visitation, children's names following those of parents, presum-
ably in the order of their births. Most unfortunately, in the
recent disastrous fire at the Capitol the document was destroyed.
The Queens County Sentinel, in its issue of March 13, 1884,
printed a copy of the census, which, although not altogether
accurate, has proved of much value to students of family history.
In 1899 the writer caused to be made, for his own use, from
the original sheets in Albany, a certified copy, in manuscript,
which has been in his possession until recently, and is now de-
posited in the State Library. It is this certified copy, in Mr.
Arnold J. F. van Laer's handwriting, that is reproduced in the
following pages.

BRISTOL NOTES.
Contributed by Theresa Hall Bristol,
Member of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society.
The name was spelled Britsow by the first two or three
generations in Connecticut, and this spelling is still used in the
southern states and in England. The spelling was changed,
says tradition, "because they were from Bristol, England." It
undoubtedly changed gradually, because of the spelling of " Bris-
tol," the city in England, and so often repeated in the naming of
towns here. There was one John Bristow, a Councillor of Penn-
sylvania, 1689-91, living at Chester, near Philadelphia, who died
in 1695, and who inserted a clause in his will which reads as
follows: " If all my children die before they reach the age of
twenty-one years, my estate to go to Brother Richard Bristow
living in Bristoll in Old England." His children were: John,
William and Hester. As the names of Richard and John were
repeated in the first and second generations of the New Haven
line it would seem to be worthy of consideration as to whether
these Bristows of a later generation, coming from and connecting
with those still living in the city of Bristol, Eng., do not furnish
the clue for following up the ancestry of the New Haven line.
The pedigree of the two most prominent families of this name
living in England can be found in Burke's Dictionary of the
Landed Gentry, vol. I.
Accordieg to the usual tradition " three brothers ■ Bristow '
came to America." There was one Robert Bristow who settled
for a time in Virginia, acquired a large estate, and returned to
England. At the time of the Revolution this land was confiscated
because the owners were living in England. The two brothers
who settled in Connecticut were Richard Bristow of Guilford who
had no children, and Henry Bristow of New Haven.
1. *Henry' Bristow of New Haven married (2) Jan. 29, 1656,
Lydia, daughter of Francis and Mary (Edwards) Brown. "At a
meeting of the General Court, held March, 1646-7," he was
assigned a seat "in front of the cross seats at the upper end of
the meeting house;" "Sister Bristow in the seat before the little

Jacobus, in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register for April,

so divided and sub-divided into other townships and towns, that
it is difficult to decide from the old records just in where or in what

EARLY SETTLERS OF WEST FARMS, WESTCHESTER
COUNTY, N. Y.
\
Copied from the manuscript record of the late Rev. Theodore A. Leggett,
by A. Hatfield, Jr.
(Continued from Vol. XL1V, p. 321, of the Record.)
Shortly after the division of John Richardson's estate of one-
half of the original Patent of the West Farms, made after the
decease of his widow, Gabriel Leggett made his will as follows:
Will of Gabriel Leggett.
In the name of God, Amen, the 16th day of April in the yeare
of our Lord God 1697, I, Gabriel Leggett of the West Farms of
Westchester, in the County of Westchester, and Province of New
York, being very sick and weak in body but of perfect mind and
memory, do make and ordain this my last will and testament,
that is to say, principally and first of all I give and recommend
my soul into the hands of God that gave it, and for my body I
commend it to the earth to be buried in a christian like manner
att the discretion of my Exetutrix nothing doubting butt att the
General resurrection I shall receive the same again by the
mighty power of God and as touching such worldly estate where-
with it hathe pleased God to bless me in this life, I give, devise
and dispose of the same in the ffollowing and manner and forme.
Imprimus, I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife Elizabeth
all my household goods.
Item. I will that all my debts which are justly due from me
to any person or persons whatsoever be first paid out of my liv-
ing stock of creatures of what kind so ever. Item. I will, give
and bequeath unto my son John Leggatt my house and out-
houses, orchard, land and the meadow in the Planting Neck and
meadow by the yard side, and is that messuage or tenement
which Thos. Williams dwells upon, and was formerly my ffather
in laws John Richardsons, together with fifty acres of woodland,
to him, his heirs, and assignes forever.
Item. I will and bequeath unto my son Thomas Leggatt my
now dwelling house and orchard and outhousen with the land
and meadow which I bought of John fferguson, Sr., and Robert
Manning together with fifty acres of woodland lying within the
bounds of said pattent and is the one moyty or half of one hun-
dred acres with his brother John, to my said son Thomas (I say)
to him, his hears, and assignes forever. Item. I give and be-
queath to my son William Leggatt one hundred acres of wood-
land and fifty acres of meadow lying behind the field within the
bounds of one pattent together with all the undivided meadow
which shall fall to my sheir as also my house and home lott with
an orchard thereon lying in the town of Westchester afore8d to
him, his heirs and assignes forever, and I will, order and ordaine
that' after my decease the aforesaid housen and outhousen, lands

and meadows with all and singular the appertenances before
mentioned shall be entered into and upon by my three sons as
aforesaid after the decease of my wife but not sooner, unless in
case of her remarriage as is here after provided and I do declare
my beloved wife Elizabeth Leggatt to be sole1 executrix of this
my last will and testament and to succeed me in possession of all
and singular the house and housing, lands and meadows before
expressed for and in the behalf of my three sons, John, Thomas,
and William Leggatt afore8d.
I give and bequeath unto my daughter Martha Leggett my
little negro boy. Item. I give and bequeath unto my daughter
Sarah Leggett twenty pounds. I give and bequeath unto my
daughter Alice Leggett twenty pounds. Item. I will and be-
queath unto my daughter Elizabeth Leggett twenty pounds, wh
is in all eighty pounds to be paid out of my living, provided, that
if any of my daughters should dye then her legacy shall fall to
her serviving sisters, equally to be divided between them.
Item. It is my will and pleasure, and I do so order and ap-
point that notwithstanding what is herein before exprest that no
legacies shall be paid nor any alteration be made in my estate
during my said wife's natural life, but that all things continue in
the same condition in her possession and enjoyment for her
necessary subsistance whilst she lives, and may take into the
house with her or putt into the other messuage or tenements
which of my said children she please for the better management
of her affairs, always provided due care be taken that nothing be
wasted or embezled of my estate by whom she admits into any
or either of the said houses. But if my said wife shall marry
after my decease, that then and for such case my three sons shall
enter and each possess what I have before bequeathed to them,
also provided that if either of my daughters shall marry and my
wife consent that then she shall forthwith pay the legacy as I
have before bequeathed without further delay. Lastly I devise,
authorize, and appoint my trusty and well beloved friends Sam-
uel Haight of fflushing and Sam1 Palmer to be my executors in
trust to see that my last will and testament be punctually per-
formed and fulfilled. In witness whereof I, the said Gabriel
Leggatt have hereunto put my hand and seal the day and year
above written.
I also will and bequeath unto my son John Leggett my thirty
acres of pasture land adjoining to the orchard which I be-
queathed to him above. Gabriel Leggatt (Seal)

The testator did not die of this illness, but recovered and
lived until 1699. The will was probated in 1700.
On the 1st day of May, 1698, Gabriel Leggett deeded, by gift,
to his son John % part of 200 acres of land which his "father in
law John Richardson, bequeathed to" his wife [on his (John)
coming to age].
j6 Early Settlers of West Farms, Westchester County, N. Y. [Jan.,
Also, in the Westchester Co's Reg's Office, Liber C, pg. 70, is
recorded the following deed of gift dated Jan. 1, 1701: "Eliza-
beth Legat of West Farms widow of Gabriel Legat dec'd to her
son John Legat, conveys all her dwelling house at West Farms
which was formerly her father's John1 Richardson, dec'd, and the
dwelling house of John Legat with such part of the orchard as
she had promised before Sam1 Haight, Senior, of West Farms,
to give him, said John Legat."
Note: — This shows, by the way, that Capt. Williams had some
time before been ousted from this old Richardson homestead, for
John Leggett was living there at this date, Jan. 1, 1701, and this
also makes it appear that John was then married. He married
and entered this house by the date of his father's gift of %. of 200
acres dated May 1, 1698.
It is to be noticed by Gabriel Leggett's will that two of his
children are not mentioned, Mary and Gabriel.
The question is why? We can not think it was intentional
from his disfavor for cause for it was customary where such was
the case to "cut them off with a shilling," that is to lease to them
some very insignificant amount, or thing.
Was it because both were born after he made this will ? That
were possible, but there is testimony that Gabriel was born 1696,
therefore shortly before the making of the will, for a public
paper dated April, 1786, contains this statement: "Died a few
days ago at West Farms Gabriel Leggett, Esq., a native of this
country aged 90. He was for a number of years one of the
Aldermen of the borough of West Chester. What is very sing-
ular there are 65 years difference between his oldest and youngest
daughter. This latter remarkable statement creates some
scepticism, and so the statement may be an error which says he
was 90 years old. Had it said he was in his 90th year, then
Gabriel, 2nd, may have been born just after Gabriel, 1st, had
made his will and which he never thought worth while to alter, or
thought of altering, but delayed too long to do so, perhaps taking
sick and dying suddenly.
But how of Mary ? Was she born still later, possibly a post-
humous child ? Bearing upon this question is the following
deed, dated April 2, 1705, Westchester Records, L. 3, p. 165:
Elizabeth Legatt of West Farms, widow, to her daughter Mary
Legatt, gives " unto the said Mary Legatt, her heirs and assigns
forever my two negro children born of the body of Hannah my
negro woman, and of the issue of the body of Robin my Indian
slave, the boy being named Abram, and the girl named fenny."*
Note: — Not being a lawyer I cannot say certainly, but I had
supposed a deed could not be made to a minor; if so, then Mary
was one of the older children rather than the youngest, but I am
just as likely in error, and so we will suppose that she was born
after the making of the will. If not so, then this sick man was
not quite "of perfect mind and memory."
* It was the custom to give a child a slave about the same age as a com-
panion servant.

Note: — Thos. Leggett, son of Gabriel, dying unmarried,
leaves bequests to his sisters and brother Gabriel, but make no
mention of Mary.
Mary was well married to John Archer perhaps so when
Gabriel made his will she had had her portion
In 171 1 the heirs of the original Patent of West Farms united
in a second division as follows:
"Whereas, Thomas Hunt, sen., of ye West Farms in ye bor-
ough town and county of Westchester in ye colony of New York,
yeoman, and Elizabeth Leggett of ye same place, widow, did on
the 9th day of May last (1 71 1) by an instrument under their
hands and seals, formally agree and conclude that the West
Farms lots containing twelve in number, should be surveyed and
laid out by me William Taylor, on or before the last day of June
instant, with a further covenant, promise & agreement, each to
the other, for themselves, or each of their heirs, executors and
administrators, as far as they or any of them are concerned in
the said lots, that the survey made by M. W. E., or some other
person, in manner as above, and the lines or bounds so run and
settled should remain, continue, and not be removed for ever
hereafter upon the penalty of five hundred pounds current
money of sd colony, to be paid by the party or persons breaking
the said conclusion or agreement and covenant to the party or
persons fulfilling and performing the same &c. Therefore upon
the request and desire of sd Thos. Hunt, Elizabeth Leggett and
others, the owners and proprietors of said land, I have surveyed
the same twelve lots as follows: That is to say, begin at a chest-
nut tree standing on the river side above Byvanck's Mill, run-
ning thence north forty-three degrees west 283 to a marked
white wood, thence south thirty degrees west about forty-five,
eight rods to the north side and westernmost corner of the 6th
lot, and then upon several courses until it meets with the north
west corner of the 12th lot, then east twenty-one degrees and a
half rod to ye meadow, and from thence along in the meadow
and river to the place first begun as appears in the scheme here-
unto annexed, the whole tract containing 1096 acres, etc. It is
firmly agreed and concluded upon by the said Thomas Hunt,
Elizabeth Leggett and others concerned in the matter, that what
every or any lot wants or falls short of 100 acres as above shall
be allowed and made up to them or theirs out of the land not
contained within survey, comprehended with a certain patent
granted by Gov. Richard Nicolls to Edward Jessup and John
Richardson in the year of our Lord Christ 1666 except thirty
acres which he said Thos. Hunt formerly sold to John Feryedon
and Robert Manning and also thirty acres belonging to the said
Elizabeth Leggett being in lieu of the aforesaid thirty acres on
which Thomas Davenport now dwells, in witness whereof,
&c, &c."

J& Early Settlers of West Farms, Westchester County, N. Y. (Jan.,
In the south west corner of the Patent of West Farms was
situated a small tract of land called the "Debatable ground."
This territory seems to have been in dispute between the heirs
of the Patentees of West Farms and Lewis Morris, proprietor of
the Manor of Morrisiana from 1666 to 1740. At an early period
Lewis Morris laid claim to most of the undivided lands of the
West Farms patent as belonging to him.
Upon the 4th of Feb., 17 12, Elizabeth Leggett, widow of
Gabriel Leggett and daughter of John Richardson, released her
title and interest of all the common and undivided lands that
Lewis Morris makes any claim to within our Patent of West
Farms. Butinthe year 1737, "William Leggett, assignee to the
heirs of John Richardson, of one-half moiety of the West Farms,
and Abraham Lent, of the heirs of Edward Jessup, jointly agreed
to prosecute Lewis Morris, who is now in possession of almost all
the undivided lands."
A complete settlement of the undivided lands was not made
till 1740, and the result and processes leading to it are all in the
probate records too voluminous to be tianscribed. In 1830 the
whole tract once known as debatable land was the property of
William H. Leggett.
As to Elizabeth Richardson Leggett, I have not as yet ob-
tained the date of her birth. She was the youngest of the three
daughters of John Richardson and was married when her father
made his will in November, 1679. As John, the eldest son of
Gabriel and Elizabeth, presumably came to age in 1696 or 1698,
we may say Gabriel and Elizabeth were married in 1675 or 6. If
the printed statement be correct that Gabriel was born in 1635,
he would then have been forty years of age, and if Elizabeth
were married at the usually early age customary in that day for
women to marry, then there was great disparities in their ages.
And there are circumstances which make it appear that there
was such difference. Elizabeth was an active business woman
for at least twenty-three years after her husband's decease, and
was the mother of infant children from 1696-1700.
According to the above figures Gabriel died at 65 years of
age, and Elizabeth at not less than 68.
That she was living in 17 14 is evident by the following deed
dated Jan. 14, 17 14: " Elizabeth, widow of Gabriel Leggett, to
her son William conveys, in consideration of ;£6o, 50 acres being
the rear part of Lot No. 11 West Farms, and also 60 acres adjoin-
ing the meadow of John Leggett dec'd, reserving a right of way
for Gabriel, a brother of sd William."
On Oct. 9, 1723, she conveys her right of fishing, hunting,
fowling, &c, in the Patent of West Farms to Gabriel Leggett.
She was dead by July 3, 1725, as appears by the "release,"
recorded as follows:
" Resealse by John Legget, for consideration of j£6o, to
Gabriel Leggatt of all such right, estate, title, interest and
demand whatsoever as the said John Leggatt had, or ought to
have, of, in, or to, all or any part of ye lands and meadows which
ye said Gabriel, by his father Gabriel Leggat, deceased, and his
iQi-l-l Early Settlers of West Farms, Westchester County, N. Y. JQ
sd mother Elizabeth Leg-gat which either of them, or by his
brother Thomas deceased by any ways or means whatsoever,
either divided or undivided or situate and being in Westchester
above sd, and also in any part and parcel of ye personal estate of
ye sd Elizabeth Leggett deceased which is\in the seizen and
possession of ye sd Gabriel Leggatt."
John Leggett, the Mariner.
We may believe him to have been the elder brother of
Gabriel. His home was in Westchester, Province of New York.
He died in the West Indies. His son afterward is registered "of
Barbadoes; " one of the circumstances connecting the family
with the first John Legatt of Barbadoes.
The following transcript of his will furnishes about all the
knowledge we at present have of him.
" Will of John Leggett of Westchester, made at Port Royall,
in the Island of Jamaica, dated Oct. 2nd, 1679.
Letters testamentary granted to Ffredrick Phillips, as Ex-
ecutor by Sir Edmund Andros, Feb. 2d, 1680, reciting: Whereas

on the Island of Jamaica, and that his last will hath been proved
in the court of the Mayor and Aldermen of New York City, and
security given by the Executor." New York Surrogate's Office,

"In the name of God, Amen: I, John Leggett, now of Port
Royall, in the Island of Jamaica afore"sd marriner, being very
weake and sick in body but of sound mind and memory {Praise
be therefore given unto Almighty God for the same), do make
this my present last will and Testament, in manner and form

decently Buryed, and as touching all such worldly estate God of
his mercy hath been pleased to blesse me with all. I give, will
& dispose of as ffolloweth, ffirst, I will that all my debts and
funerall charges shall be paid and discharged. Item, I give and
bequeath unto my well beloved son John Leggett all that my one

soever (not being before bequeathed) I give and bequeath unto

and sole executor of this my last will & Testament, in trust to
and for the only uses and intents above menconed, and desire

Frederick Philipse, the executor of John Leggett's will, was
at this time the wealthiest citizen on the continent, and one of
the most distinguished citizens in the Province of New York.
When, after the Dutch had regained New York and money was
needed for its defence, it was resolved to raise it by forced loan
by the most affluent inhabitants, and Fred. Philips heads the list
of 62 names assessed for 80,000 guilders. He was a member of
Council under the English Governors from Andros to Bellamont.
In 1680 he acquired the Manor, and was first lord of Phillips-
burgh, Westchester County. He died 1702, aged seventy-six
years.
As another link in the evidence connecting the Westchester
Leggetts with John Leggett of Barbadoes, Fred. Philipse, friend
of John Leggett, the mariner, was a large land owner in Barba-
does. the "Springhead Estate;" there his son was born in 1676, re-
sided and married the daughter of Gov. Sparks of Barbadoes, and
his son, the Hon. Fred. P., was born in that Island, 1698, and
became the second lord of the Manor of Philipsburgh.
The son of John Leggett, the mariner, is identified by the
following extracts from the records of the Dutch Church of New
York:
"Married Sept. 14, 1688, Jan Legget y. m. van de Barbadoes,
en Catalina Ten Broeck y. d. N Albanicen, d eeste wonende
alhier en tuede tot N Albanien."
Translation: John Legget, a young man of the Barbadoes,
and Catalina Ten Broeck, young maiden of New Albany; the
first living here, and the second at New Albany.
Note: — "Nov. 13, 1688, John Leggett and Josep Hadley wit-
ness to deed of gift by Samuel & John Betts to John Barrett,
sister's son." Was it John the mariner, son of the mariner. If
not, who could it have been, John, son of Gabriel, not being of
age ?

Congregational Church of Stillwater, Saratoga County, New
York, with list of inscriptions on tombstones in the Cemetery
adjoining, known as the "Yellow Meeting House Cemetery."
The Congregational Church of Stillwater was organized at
Canaan, Litchfield County, Conn., June 26, 1752.
From the records as published by Lebbens Armstrong in
1850, it appears that there were present at the first meeting John
Palmer, Pastor of Scotland Church, and Abraham Payn, Pastor
of the Church of Christ, in Nine Partners, Dutchess County,
New York. On the following Sabbath, Rev. Mr. Palmer admin-
istered the sacrament to Jedediah Stephens and Henry Stephens
of Stonington; Samuel Howe and Gideon Lawrence of Plain-
field; Asa Douglass and Benjamin Green of Canterbury, who
were in full communion in the churches of their respective towns.
Sunday, June 28, 1752, John Palmer preached. A number
were received on profession of faith, the sacrament was admin-
istered, a revival commenced, and the Church met the next day,
June 29, 1752, signed the covenant ami chose a clerk.
The following is a list of the male members: Henry Stephens,
Gideon Lawrence, Zebulon Stevens, Uriah Stephens, Cobert
Campbell, George Palmer, Lemuel Taylor, Eber Andrews, Ben-
jamin Green, Ephraim Andrews, Ebenezer Wolcott, Ephraim
Andrews, Jr., William Frisby, Solomon Campbell, Robert Camp-
bell, Jr., Jonathan Morey, Titus Andrews, John Fellows, William
Patrick, Daniel Campbell, Cyprian Watson, Edward Firel, Joel
Frisby, Reuben Wright, Israel Rose, Isiah Keeler, Amariah
Plumb, Phineas Stephens, Jesse Howard, Robert Patrick, Joseph
Stephens, Ebenezer Andrus, Benjamin Munger. Later, new
members were added, so that the number amounted to one hun-
dred and one in the next ten years. October 20, 1761, Robert
Campbell was ordained and installed over them as their pastor.
In April, 1762, a fast was appointed to know their "duty with
respect to moving to Stillwater, N. Y." It was then fully agreed
this Church should remove from Canaan to Stillwater, and it
adds under the same date, " Pursuant to said agreement, the
greater part of said Church members have removed to Still-
water."
Whether all of the persons whose names are given above came
to Stillwater is not known, probably not. Some must have died
in the ten years, and others declined to move.
Before the Revolution they erected a commodious house of
worship near the west bank of the Hudson River opposite the
mouth of the Hoosic River, which was subsequently removed
about two miles west of the River where it became known as
the " Yellow Meeting House."

They established their cemetery by its side and the principal
part of the early members are here buried.
This cemetery is one of the oldest in Saratoga County.
It is situated on the north side pf the road, directly in the
rear of the "Yellow Meeting House," distant about two miles
northwest of the village of Mechanicville.
The character of the stones — a considerable number being of
heavy brown stone and of ornamentally cut marble — indicates the
wealth and importance of the early settlers, whose names they
perpetuate.
A large number of old unmarked field stones are in the back
part of the cemetery.

CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS TO PUBLISHED

Every gleaner in the field of genealogical research has met with errors in
printed volumes which, left by themselves, carry mistaken conclusions to the
end of time. This department has been inaugurated in an endeavor to correct
such spurious data. Readers are requested to forward for publication here
every such error, and such further additions to printed genealogies as are
found, that due correction may be made. The authority for the statement

Hoe, Robert.
1. In an article on Robert Hoe published in the N. Y. Gen. and
Biog. Record of April, 1910, page 6, it was stated that " the first of
the line of which any definite information is to be obtained is that
Robert Hoe (son of Thomas and Elizabeth Hoe) of the Hamlet
of Hoes, Leicestershire, England, born Oct. 29, 1784, who came
to New York in 1802, and was the grandfather of the subject of
this sketch."
Although the above statement was taken from what were
believed to be authentic records further researches made in

the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Hoe, as set forth in the article

2. Moulton — Additions (See Smith-Barnard).
The "son in law [Capt], John Moulton," mentioned in the
will of Capt. Jabez Smith, was son of Joseph3 and Abigail (Ayres)
Moulton of Portsmouth, N. H., and was baptized at Portsmouth
North Church, Oct. 8, 1721; married, first, as "John Moulton of
Portsmouth," at Ipswich, Mass., May 14, 1743, Eunice, daughter
of Hon. Francis Sawyer of Wells, Me., and Ipswich, Mass. She
died the following April, and he married, second, as "John Moul-
ton of Portsmouth," at Hampton, N. H., Dec. 13, 1744, Lydia,

Jeremiah Moulton in Maine Wills, p. 326, " My only daughter
Mary; my only son Joseph.") His first wife Mary (Young), who
died 1772, was the mother of these children. (Lewis' Maine

put in a bill for his "keep" when his father's estate was settled.

1776; see N H. Prov. Papers and verification in Moidtonboro Pro-
prietors' Book; also deed and plan of assignment of lots at Moul-
tonboro.) (Jacob3, John2, John1) had a first wife, name unknown,
and a second, who was a Brown of Newbury. That he had a wife
(whether a second or third it is impossible to ascertain, but she
outlived him) is shown by letters written by Lieut. Richard Salter
Tibbits, U. S. N., of Portsmouth, N. H., to his " Honored Parents,"
John Moulton and his wife, then living at Moultonboro, N. H.,
1790 to 1813; and two letters written by Richard Tibbits, Jr., one
in which he addresses his grandmother as Mrs. Mehitabel Moul-
ton, and the other written to John Salter Moulton just after the
death of his (John's) father. (See also Salter Gen.)

BOOK REVIEWS.
By John R. Totten.
Editorial Note:— The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society solicits as
donations to its Library all newly published works on Genealogy, History and Biography, as well
as all works on Town, County and State History, or works embodying information regarding the
Vital Records of any and all localities. It also solicits the donation to the manuscript collections
of its library any and all manuscript compilations which bear upon the above mentioned topics.
In consideration of such donations the works so presented to the Society will be at once
placed upon the shelves of its library and will be reviewed in the next subsequent issue of Thb
New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, each donation of such character,
whether in printed or manuscript form, will be reviewed under the head of "Book Notices" ana
a copy of The Record containing the review will be sent to the donor.
The Society does not solicit donations of publications or manuscripts on topics foreign to
the above mentioned subjects, as its library is specialized and cannot accommodate material
which does not bear directly upon its recognized sphere of usefulness.
Donations for review in the January issue of The Record should be delivered to the
Society before December 1st of the previous year; for the April issue, before March 1st; for the
July issue before June 1st; and for the October issue, before September 1st.
All donations will be generously reviewed with a view of calling the attention of the public
to their good points; but, while generous, the reviews will contain such proper criticism as the
interest of the genealogical student would expect from the editorial staff of The Record.
The "Book Notices" of The Record are carefully read by all librarians as well as
genealogical students, and the review of a work in The Record is equivalent to a special
advertisement of such work.
Letters of transmittal of donations of such works should embody the price of the work
donated and the name and address of the person from whom it can be purchased.

Y] in press. Price 15 shillings. Address: Edward Dwelly, Esq., Margate
Road, Heme Bay, Kent, England.
This is a most excellent work and is much to be commended, as it pre-
serves in printed form records which the lapse of time had rendered so fragile
as to promise speedy disintegration. As is well known by genealogists,
Bishop's Transcripts of Parish Registers very often preserve parish records
that are individually themselves lost, and hence publication of such records
should be encouraged. The first volume includes in alphabetical order the
parishes from A to H, and Vol. II, of which 270 pages are already printed and
the rest soon to go to press, will cover the other parishes from I to Y. Recom-
mended to all genealogical libraries.

which is traced back to 1275-6 A. D. It cannot fail to be of interest on this
side of the water, as we are informed by the author that descendants from the
original stock are to be found in Chicago, Denver and Cincinnati and
scattered throughout Canada. Recommended to those of kindred blood
and to genealogical libraries.

History and Genealogy of the Pomeroy Family, Collateral Lines
in Groups, Normandy, Great Britian and America, comprising the ancestors
and descendants of Eltweed Pomeroy, from Beminster, County Dorset, Eng-
land, 1630. By Albert A. Pomeroy. Large 8vo, half morocco, pp.962, includ-
ing index and 77 illustrations. Limited edition of 400 numbered copies,
copyrighted. Price $15.00; eight copies of two volume edition, $18. 00. For
sale only by A. A. Pomeroy, Sandusky, Ohio.
This handsome family book contains many interesting details which make
it a desirable addition to any genealogical library and the reference rooms of
the patriotic societies. By certified photographs it establishes the specific
rank of all the first generals in the Revolution, about which American history
is silent. These photographs were taken from the records in the archives of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. They are as conclusive for all the de-
scendants of the first generals as they are for the descendants of Major-Gen-
eral Seth Pomeroy, for whom they were prepared. Also, the complete roster
of all Pumeroy men in the Revolution is given, with rank, home town, organi-
zation and terms of service transcribed from official state papers of Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut and New Jersey.
The system adopted in the Pomeroy genealogy of arranging the children
and grandchildren of Pomeroy mothers in family groups is unusual. By this
method the necessity of carrying names in collateral lines through the book in
the several generations is avoided, and the student can comprehend at a
glance the results of a collateral marriage, as the children and grandchildren
are numbered consecutively. The records of the collateral lines involve the
IOO Book Reviews. [Jan.,
addition of 17,000 names other than Pomeroy, making this is a desirable book
of reference for colonial families.
Part one records the English lineage of the American Pomeroys, not
merely in the shape of a pedigree, but ti include the entire family 01 each
successor from 1035 t0 '630, when Eltweed Pomeroy came to America. Some
of the families, however, are carried down parallel with the descendants of the
first American ancestor to the present day. It is one of the most complete
records of English ancestral families we have seen in American books of
genealogy.
The Pomeroy genealogy has an engraved title page worked in colors.
There are also two color plates, painted in London, of the Pomeroy arms with
mantel, and the Pomeroy achievement, which are artistic in design and finish.
There is an ancestral chart, a study in heredity, which comprises 600
names of historical worthies, with some essential data, tabulated in compact
form, backward, so that each ancestral lines can be traced from son to father
through as many generations as the information obtainable will carry, four
lines reaching to 350 A. D. In making up this table the charts of the late
Prof. C. A. L. Totten.of Yale College, have been quoted for the more remote
ancestors, because of the apparent accuracy of these charts. The ancestral
chart has a special significance to colonial families for hereditary, social and
eugenic investigations.
The photographs from the Domesday Book, the first census of England,
which the Pomeroy genealogy presents in old Norimin French (with transla-
tion from the Victoria histories) are unique. The seven pages describe the
holdings of Sir Ralph de Pomery granted for his assistance in the conquest
of England.

This is a most excellent lineage book and the Society of Colonial Dames
is much to be congratulated in presenting it to its members. As in the case of
all of these lineage books, it seems a pity that the vital facts of each genera-
tion of descent from the ancestor from whom eligibility is derived should not
be published. If such information was habitually given in lineage books of
societies they would soon become the most valuable genealogical reference
books to be obtained anywhere.

"The Refugees sympathized with the American side during the Revolu-
tionary War. They were safe at their homes on Long Island as long as the
operations of the war were confined to the vicinity of Boston, and, being safe,
they persecuted the Tories who opposed them. After the evacuation of Bos-
ton the British Army fought the Battle of Long Island on August 27, 1776, and
later they captured Fort Washington. These victories gave them the control
of Long Island and New York City throughout the war. The people on the
Island were obliged to take the oath of allegiance to the Crown or to flee. This
work is the story of those who fled.
Little concerning the Refugees was known until Henry Onderdonk, Jr.,
made numerous Notes in his 'Revolutionary Incidents of Suffolk County, New
York.' These Notes were often quoted by the several historians of Long
Island, but the source of the Notes was a mystery. Indeed, it seemed as it no
further information would be found.
About the year 1890 Mr. Mather was preparing for publication the book
known as 'New York in the Revolution — Supplement.' The original docu-
102 Book Reviews. [Jan.,
ments on which it was based were in charge of the Comptroller of the State of
New York at Albany. Among the documents were many bundles marked
'Refugees from Long Island." These papers were claims against the State for
the expenses of removal to Connecticut. But few of them were printed in the
'Supplement.' All of them, however, were copiqd, and the copies were com-
pared with the originals. The copies appear in Appendix C of this work. It
was fortunate that they were made, for nearly all of the originals were de-
stroyed by the fire which swept the State Library in 1911.
The source of nearly all of Onderdonk's Notes was found in original docu-
ments owned by the Connecticut State Library and the Connecticut Historical
Society, both at Hartford. Copies of them appear in Appendixes D, E and F.
Appendixes A and B give all the information as to the Refugees that could be
found in the Records of New York. Appendix G gives the military service of
all the soldiers on Long Island, and the' service of the Refugees elsewhere.
Appendix H contains important miscellaneous documents, including the asso-
ciators and the non-associators on Long Island. Appendix I gives brief civil
and military biographies of those not Refugees who appear prominently in
this work. Appendix J is a catalogue of the illustrations, from which it ap-
pears that there are nearly 900, including 115 portraits, 559 autographs, 77
houses, &c. The several Appendixes known as Part 3— documentary— cover
pages 691-1110. They are the foundation of the book— the proof of many
statements that are made in the text. Pages 1111-1200 carry the general index
of nearly 20,000 names.
Part 2— biographical— occupies pages 239-690. Here we have condensed
biographies of the 81 captains of ships and nearly all of the 1274 Refugees.
The biographies aim to give the descent of the Refugees from the emigrant
ancestor to America, incidents of their lives and the names of many of their
living descendants. Part 2, therefore, is a biographical cyclopedia of those
families on Long Island which had representatives among the Refugees. As
the heads of families were usually named, the number (1274) does not indicate
all of the Refugees. There were between 5,000 and 6,000 of them, or nearly
half the population of Suffolk County at that time. Of the 1274, 150 (a partial
list only) were from New York City.
The time spent upon Part 3— biographical— was more than half of the five
years which were required to complete the work. The correspondence in-
cluded thousands of letters. It is believed that the biographies are as accur-
ate as it has been possible to make them.
Part 1— historical — gives a history of the war, in outline (chapters 1-6), to
show the relative importance of the Battle of Long Island and the loss of New
York City, which were responsible for the fact that there were Refugees.
Certain little known phases of the war are described in Chapters 7-12. In
Chapters 13-20 the history of the Refugees is given. Finally, Chapters 21-26,
we trace the local conduct of the war on Long Island, in Connecticut and in
Westchester County, N. Y., wherein many of the Refugees took a prominent
part. Many maps are printed, of which the most interesting (page 161) shows
Long Island and Connecticut as they were in 1774.
As a whole, the material used in this work is original. Nearly all of the
documents in the appendixes have not been printed before. All of the re-
sources in sight have been exhausted. It may be that, in the future, the con-
tents of somebody's attic will shed more light on the subject. But those who
are interested in this work cannot await the contents of an attic."
Too much cannot be said in praise of this voluminous work. The author's
name is sufficient to stamp it as a work of painstaking accuracy and elabora-
tion of detailed information. Tracing, as it does, the exodus of the American
Refugees from Long Island to Connecticut after the disastrous results of the
battle of August 27, 1776, it furnishes a vast number of heretofore missing
links in the lives of these Refugees and furnishes material hitherto unearthed
for the benefit of historians, biographers and genealogists. Mr. Mather is to
be highly congratulated on the successful presentation of this work to the pub-
lic, and likewise complimented in having added such a monumental work to
the list that have already issued from his pen. The work is most urgently
recommended to all historical, biographical, genealogical, general reference
libraries and patriotic societies.

GEORGE SULLIVAN BOWD01N.
An Appreciation.
By Hon. Robert Bacon.
Any appreciation of the life and character of George Bowdoin
must seem to those who read it, as well as to one who attempts to
write it, inadequate and incomplete. Few men have possessed in
a higher degree the power of attracting others, and the charm of
manner, the gentleness, the unfailing kindliness and sympathy
which were his, must, by the very fineness of their quality, elude
expression. Even those who knew him but slightly and whose
acquaintance was limited to the transaction of affairs, felt the
sweetness of his nature, and, remembering his courteous consid-
eration, have experienced a sense of personal loss.
To those who had the privilege of intimacy he occupied a
place apart from all others. The loyalty of his friendship was
manifested throughout his long life and was a natural attribute of
his character. He took and gave pleasure in companionship, rare
at any time, but particularly rare in the time in which he lived.
The great good that he did was done unobtrusively, not from
a sense of duty but because generosity and charity were parts of
his life. They went inseparably with his kindness and considera-
tion and, like them, came from the heart.
Coming from distinguished ancestry, he kept himself true to
his traditions. His culture and charm drew about him a circle of
friends who greatly loved him. The influence of such a character
cannot be measured, but there was no one who knew him who did
not feel that life was made sweeter by that knowledge and that in
losing him something fine and gentle and dear had been taken
from them which could never be replaced.

GEORGE SULLIVAN BOWDOIN.
A Sketch of His Life.
By Miss Georgina Schuyler.
The subject of this brief memoir, George Sullivan Bowdoin,
was born in New York City, September 25th, 1833, and died at his
residence, 39 Park Avenue, New York, December 16th, 1913, in
his eighty-first year. On his father's side he was descended from
the Bowdoin, Sullivan,' Winthrop and Temple families of Maine
and Massachusetts; on his mother's side from the Hamilton,
Schuyler, and Morris families of New York.
He was the son of George Richard Sullivan of the old and
well known Boston family, who, with his brother James, changed
their name to Bowdoin in their early manhood, in conformity with
the provisions of the will of their distinguished colateral ancestor,
James Bowdoin (b. 1752, d. 1811), who, after graduating from Har-
vard and studying at Oxford, was traveling in Europe when the
news reached him of the battle of Lexington. He came directly
home and served under Washington in the operations at Dorchester
Heights, preceding the evacuation of Boston by the British troops.
He was many times member of the State legislature, was Minister
to Spain, and associate minister to France, and was a liberal
benefactor to Bowdoin College, named after his father, James
Bowdoin, the enlightened and patriotic governor of Massachus-
etts (b. 1726, d. 1790).
The father of the subject of this sketch, George Richard James
Bowdoin (b. 1809, d. 1870), was a cadet at West Point, but left
before graduating in order to study and practice law, becoming
later a member of the firm of Bowdoin, Larocque and Barlow. He
was a man of distinguished appearance and manner, possessing a
genial and attractive personality. He married, in 1832, Fanny
Hamilton, granddaughter of Alexander Hamilton, daughter of
James A. Hamilton, of "Nevis," Irvington, New York.
George Sullivan Bowdoin, their only son, was educated in private
schools in New York City, and was three years in the Lawrence
Scientific School at Harvard University. He gained his first business
experience as a clerk with Aymar& Company, shipping merchants
in South Street. In the sixties he became a broker dealing in
notes and securities. In 1871 he became a partner of the firm of
Morton, Bliss & Company, of which Levi P. Morton was the
senior partner. He remained in this firm for thirteen years, when,
in 1884, he became a partner of the house of Drexel, Morgan &
Company, now J. P. Morgan & Company. He retired from active
business December 31, 1899.
1914O George Sullivan Bowdoin. IOJ
He was connected with various railroad organizations and was
for many years a director of the New York Central.
He was member of the Chamber of Commerce, director or
trustee of the New York Life Insurance and Trust Company, the
Mutual Life Insurance Company, the Commercial Union Assur-
ance Company, Limited, of London, and the GuarantyTrust Com-
pany, and was Trustee of the Bank for Savings. He was also for
many years a member of the New York Stock Exchange. The
variety and breadth of his interests are shown by his connection
with the following organizations: director and treasurer of the
Metropolitan Opera and Real Estate Company, and one of the
governing board of the New York Hospital, trustee of the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History, member of the Union, Knicker-
bocker, New York Yacht, Union League, Century, Church, Metro-
politan, Brook, Turf and Field, Racquet and Tennis, and Players'
Clubs, also member Metropolitan Museum of Art, of the American
Fine Arts Society, of the New York Genealogical and Biographical
Society, member of the Huguenot Society, New England Society,
and Sons of the Revolution. He was much interested in Bow-
doin College 'and gave largely to it; also he supplemented the
original endowment made by his ancestor for the "Bowdoin
Prizes" of Harvard University.
Throughout his boyhood and youth, "Nevis," his grandfather
Hamilton's house on the Hudson, was another home to him, as it
was to all the grandchildren, their gathering place during school
and college holidays in summer and winter; at Christmas the
scene of house parties full of gaiety, with the skating, sleighing
and dancing of a joyous set of young people. In 1862 he married
Julia Irving, daughter of Moses H. Grinnell of the New Bedford
family, partner of the important house of Grinnell, Minturn & Com-
pany, shipping merchants, and of Julia Irving, a niece of Washing-
ton Irving. Mr. Grinnell's country home, "Wolferts Dell," adjoined
that of "Wolferts Roost," the old name of Irving's cottage,
"Sunnyside," visited by all travelers, whether from the Old World
or the New, to do homage to the first of American authors of that
day. Mr. Grinnell, the kindest, most hospitable of hosts, gathered
about him distinguished men in political as well as in financial
circles, and the young George Bowdoin shared in this association.
From his youth up, Mr. Bowdoin belonged to Grace Protestant
Episcopal Church. He was strongly attached to it. One of his
best known gifts is the Grace Neighborhood House on Fourth
Avenue, connected with the church, devoted to the religious, edu-
cational and civic welfare of the neighborhood. He also gave the
organ in the western tower and the chimes attached to it. With
Mrs. Bowdoin, he was much interested in the Cathedral of St.
John the Divine and its memorial chapels, in the chapel in memory
of the Rev. William Reed Huntington, and together they donated
the Chapel of St. Boniface. With the late- J. P. Morgan, Mr.
Bowdoin gave the necessary sum for the crossing of the Cathedral,

thus sufficiently completing the edifice, as it now stands, to make
it possible to hold services within its walls.
This brief synopsis of his career would be but a poor tribute to
offer George Bowdoin were it not that, joined to the absolute
purity and integrity of his high character, his success stands for a
life time of hard work, of persistent industry and application.
These were among his dominant traits. As in his youth of good
looks and high spirits and keen enjoyment of social life, and with
every opportunity open to him for such enjoyment, he allowed
nothing to interfere with the task he had undertaken; so, in his
old age, when he retired from active business there was found in
him no weakness and no indolence. After long years of business
detail and responsibility his mind was fresh and young and open
to a variety of interests. "Now I have time for reading and
travel," he would say, and he accomplished both. Besides this,
having amassed a fortune solely by his own industry, the last de-
cade of his life was passed in the enjoyment of giving it away —
by thousands and tens of thousands every year — and this so
quietly that his great liberality was hardly known save to those
immediately benefitted by it.
For he had a deep-seated reticence and reserve, and a modesty
touching in its manifestations. It was a "great surprise" to him
when, in the course of his career, one piece of good fortune after
another was, so to speak, "thrust upon him." It did not occur to
him that in his early business life older men, high in financial
circles, were watching the young broker, his cool head, his avoid-
ance of speculation, his industry and integrity before inviting him
to be associated with them. In the counting-house his presence
made for serenity and kindliness, while his invariable courtesy to
high and low was, in itself, a power.
It was said of him, "Mr. Bowdoin always had time. There
was no bringing of hurry or impatience into his presence. They
seemed to melt away."
Those associated with him in the management of affairs have
written, "His simplicity and sincerity of motive, with the clear-
ness of his judgment, gave great value to all his opinions, and his
quiet word of counsel, often given with diffidence, made many
difficult problems easy."
Many men have spoken of him as their ideal of a gentleman.
Associating with him under difficult circumstances and varying
experiences, they had never known him, by word or act, to forfeit
the estimate they had made: "Always — and at all times — a
gentleman !"

REV. WILLIAM JONES SKILLMAN.
By Tobias A. Wright.
In the death of Mr. Skillman, which occurred in Corona,
Borough of Queens, N. Y., Feb 23, our Society loses one of its
useful workers. After a ministry of over fifty years in the Re-
formed Dutch Church he retired to spend the closing years of
his life largely in gathering and arranging genealogical records of
his own and allied Dutch families, many of which have appeared
in the pages of this magazine. Possessed of a wonderful faculty
for finding missing links, he succeeded in unraveling tangles that
had long baffled others. A special intuition seemed to guide him

on the ancestral trial, and hundreds of the present generation are
indebted to him for about all they know of their early Dutch
progenitors. A beautiful pen-printed and illuminated volume of
his unpublished genealogical notes is indigitive of the painstaking
care displayed in all his work. This collection he generously
presented to the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society
and may be seen in its library.
At a time of life when most men cease to labor, Mr. Skillman
continued his contributions to religious literature. The infirmities
of age rested lightly upon him, and his genial kindly personality
was a joy to his friends and an inspiration to young men. He
died at the age of 79 and his long and useful life was well worthy
of emulation.
The genealogical records of the Skillman family, compiled by
him, may be found in the Record, beginning in vol. 37, page 22.
HENRY PARSONS KING.
By Rufus King.
Henry Parsons King, of Boston, Mass., died at his home in
Beacon Street, October 31, 1913, after a long illness.
Mr. King, the son of George Parsons and Sarah Williams
(Lathrop) King, of Boston, was a descendant, in the ninth genera-
tion of William Kinge, of Salem, Mass., who was born in England
in 1595 and came to New England in 1635; his son, Samuel King,
an early settler at Southold, L. I., was the ancestor of Henry
Parsons King as set forth in the Pedigree of King of Salem, Mass.
(N. Y., 1887). The Record for 1901-2 also contains a brief history
of the family.
Henry Parsons King, the subject of this memoir, was born in
Roxbury, Mass., January 14, 1867, and educated at Harvard
University, a member of the class of 1889. He married October
19, 1895, Alice Ormond, daughter of the late Mahlon Day
Spaulding of Boston, by whom he had two children, Katherine
Spaulding King, deceased, and Henry Parsons King, Jr.
Mr. King, at the time of his death, was identified with large
commercial interests in Boston, and was also active in its social
life as indicated by his membership of the Somerset, Union and
other clubs and societies of that city.
Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Alexander
Mann, of Trinity Church, Boston, and the burial was in Forest
Hills Cemetery, Jamaica Plains.
Mr. King is survived by his wife and son and a sister, Mrs.
Edward M. Weld of New York City.
114 Genealogical Notes Relating to Joan Jentilman, [April
GENEALOGICAL NOTES RELATING TO JOAN JENTIL-
MAN, WIFE OF REV. JOHN YONGES, OF
SOUTHOLD, isl. Y.
By Lucy I). Akerly.
(Continued from the Kkcord, July, 1908.)
"The Town of Southvvold has for a long time enjoyed an
evangelical ministry. In 1626, on June 14, Mr. Christopher
Yonges departed this life,"* having been Vicar of Reydon, and
stately St. Edmund's, Southwold, since 161 1.
This shows the early influences surrounding the vicar's son,
Rev. John Yonges, the principal founder of our own Southold,
L. I., who doubtless came from the parish, if not from the fas-
cinating little church of St. Margaret's, Reydon.f
The maiden name of Joan, his wife, has been much discussed.
In Moore's Indexes she is simply Joan; in his Historical Address of
i8qo the surname Z<?wington is added, a typograhical error.
Munsell's American Ancestry and the Oyster Bay Yonges Record
call her Herrington.
The MSS. Parish Register at Southwold was personally ex-
amined by the writer of this article in 1903. The marriage en-
tries read: "1622, July 25, John Yonge & Joan Herrington,
widoiv." "1613, March 7, Robert Herrington & Johan Jentilman."
The printed Marriage Licenses of the Archdeaconry of Stiffolk, at
Ipswich, Eng., have: "1622, July 24, John Yonges & Joan Her-
rington, both single, of Southwold, suretv Chr. Yonges;" or as
Mr. Reynal Upham puts it, "John Yonges, "bach., & Joan Herring-
ton, spinster."^
The author of the Yonges Genealogy concludes Joan may have
been daughter of Stephen Herrington, named in the will of her
father-in-law, Rev. Christopher Yonges.
The latest light on the subject comes from Mr. J. C. Herring-
ton, of Portsmouth, Eng., a native Southwolder, who traces back
to Robert Herrington, Bailiff of Southwold, 1607, whose family
record, compiled from English sources only, distinctly states that
"Joan Jentilman, widow of Robert Herrington," (prob. son of the
Bailiff above) "married 2nd, Rev. John Yonges, who later came to
America."
The Herringtons are one of the few Southwold families extant
in the days of Rev. Christopher Yonges who have to-day a male
representative.

We find other Herringtons or Harringtons in New England.
Benjamin Herenton died in Providence, R. I., 1687, an intimate
friend and connection by marriage of Roger Williams.t
To return to the Jentilmans (Gentlemans). Herrington tradi-
tion make Joan Yonges the probable daughter of Thomas Jentil-
man, many times Bailiff at Southwold, described in Wake's His-
tory of ' Soutlnvold as the "unmatchable, who lived 98 years in per-
fect sight and memorie, giving Composition Lings "(a free tribute
to the king from every fishing bark) "70 yrs. to 4 princes, King
Edward, Oueens Mary and Elizabeth and James 1st."
TobiasT his son, an author of note, revivor of the fisheries,
emulated his father's fame.
Joan Jentilman, having both a son and a grandson called
Thomas Yonges, doubtless descended from Thomas Jentilman, but
was probably dau. of William and Agnes Jentilman, whose dau.
Joan was bapt. at Southwold, 5 July, 1603, her name being one of
the first on the Parish Register there.
There is no mention of any other early Joan Jentilman, nor
any other disposition of Joan, dau. of William Jentilman, hence
it was doubtless she who married Robert Herrington in 161 3, let
us say, aged at least 14 or 15, so born about 1598-9. This would
make her nearly the same age as Rev. John Yonges, born 1598-
i6o2,t and renders it most unlikely that Thomas Jentilman, born
1511', died 1609, was her father; he was more likely to have been
her grandfather or great grandfather.
The name Jentilman (Gentleman, Jentilhomme) is one of those
nicknames or sobriquets in which the Normans delighted, and
like Bonner, Debonaire and Corteis, signified a courteous and
affable character, one with whom it was a pleasure to be.§^
Robert Jentilhomme is fonnd in the Wills at Bury St. Ed-
munds, Thomas Gentleman on the Rolls of Parliament, Nicholas
Gentleman on the Hundred Rolls, while several English authors
were named Gentleman. The name also appears in Burkes
Landed Gentry, and at Boston, Mass.||

We do not know whether Joan Jentilman Yonges bore the
above arms or not, but it is certain that the motto would describe
many of her descendants.
Herrington traditions hold that \the Southwold Jentilmans
were shipbuilders, mariners, boatowners; the Herringtons seamen
and fishermen, while for years the wars took them away from the
old town,
In other words, the roving Viking blood that has made the
English the greatest colonists on the globe, held both Herring-
tons and Jentilmans fast with its irrisistible spell and thirst for
adventure, and to it Joan Jentilman Yonge's descendants doubt-
less owe more than thev are aware.

ADAM MOTT OF STATEN ISLAND.
By Edward Doubleday Harris.
Heretofore but little has been published concerning the elder
branch of the Adam1 Mott family of Hempstead, Long Island,
N. Y. The patriarch had, as is abundantly established by con-
temporaneous documents,* two sons bearing his own name,
Adam,11 the eldest of the children, who was baptized in the Dutch
Church of New Amsterdam, 14 Nov., 1649, and Adam, the
youngest, who was born at Cow Neck, 20 Aug., 1680, as the bible
record reads, "at 1 P. M." It is with the elder of the two that
we have to do at this time. The story of the younger is well
known. f
Adam,' as has been said, was baptized 14 Nov., 1649, the first
child of his parents who had been married 28 July, 1647. He
was therefore but eight years of age when his father had taken
residence at Hempstead, near the head of the Harbor, in 1657.
In 167 1, then twenty-two, he purchased of Edward Titus, three
acres of land with a house, calling himself Adam, "junior." On
March 23, 1674, "Adam Mott, junior," was a seaman on the ketch
Hopewell from New York to Virginia. In 1678, still "jr." and
"of Hempstead," he was cited to appear to answer to a charge of
debt, brought by Gabriel Minviell of New York. Sept. 25, 1691,
as "eldest son of Adam Mott, dec'd, who died intestate," he
petitioned Court that he might be appointed to administer his
father's estate. He sold his interest in the Cow Neck lands to
William Nicoll, Sept. 20, 1693. On April 30, 1694, then calling
himself " Sr.," he conveyed his interests in certain lands that
had been his father's to his half brothers and sisters, his brother
Adam at that time being but fourteen years old. The Hempstead
Census^ of 1698 lists him between the families of his brother
John Mott and James Jackson (evidently his nearest neighbors),
one Nicholas Stilwell, probably of his wife's family, being of his
household.
" Mr. Adam Mott
Mr8. Mary Mott
An Mott
Mary Mott
Adam Mott, jr.
Nicholas Stilwell."
His wife's name first appears in deeds in connection with his

1 1 8 Adam Mott of Staten Island. [April,
connection it is interesting to read the contents of a paper kept
in the State Records at Albany until destroyed by the disastrous
fire of 191 1. "hamfted 5 day of March 1705. Mr. sacatary sr be
pleased to inform ye governor that I have given my consant that
this barer Solomon samens shall have my dagter mary pray assist
him in gating a lysans for thare marag and i shall be (willing to
you so I rest your) assured friend and servant Ad Mott my
wife is allso willing to y° same." In 1705 he was Justice of the
Peace, and apparently living at Rockaway, on the south side.
To his son Adam he conveyed by deed of June 15, 1713, one-half
of all his lands at Rockaway, and Nov. 28, 17 19, he and his wife
Mary, with their son Adam and his wife Elizabeth, sold to John
Mott their lands on the "Neck," at the same place. This is the
last recorded evidence of him and his wife, as living, that appears.
To the issue of Adam and Mary, as shown by the Census and
other documents already cited, Mrs. Bunker* adds, as the eldest,
Jane, who married in 1693 Richard Seaman (b. 1673-6; d. 1749);
and Bergenf would have us add another daughter, Maria or
Mary, who was wife of Daniel3 Stilwell (Nicholas1), bapt. Nov. 13,
1653, of Gravesend and later of Staten Island, dying about 1720,
with issue Nicholas, b. 1678, Samuel, b. 1680, Daniel, b. 1687, and
Richard.
Adam1 and Mary Mott certainly had:
1. Ann,8 unmarried 1698.
2. Mary, married 1705, Solomon Seaman.
3. Adam, born 1684-1690.
Adam8, apparently the youngest of his father's children, and
the only son, was born not earlier than 1684, nor later than 1690.
He first appears on the records June 15, 1713, when his father
conveyed to him one-half of his lands at Rockaway. He mar-
ried some time not long before 1717, Elizabeth, the daughter of
Richbell3 Mott, who was one of his father's younger half-
brothers.J

\ Adam Mott, the patriarch, for his "last wife," as he calls her, had taken
about 1670, Elizabeth, the step-daughter of John Richbell of Mamaroneck, and
sister of Mary, the wife of James2 Mott (bapt. 1651), the second son of the
patriarch, and own brother of Adam5. From this late marriage of Adam, Sr.,
there resulted four sons, Richbell, Charles, William and Adam. Richbell was
a man of some prominence, lived at Great Neck, and among his children were
Edmund3, Richbell3 and a daughter Elizabeth3, who became the wife of Adam3
Mott of the text. The son Richbell3, born about 1700, died 1725, apparently
single. Edmund3, to keep alive the christian name, named a son Richbell4,
born 1728, and who died 1758 without male issue. Elizabeth, the elder Rich-
bell's2 daughter, who married Adam3 Mott, gave the name to one of her two
sons, the Richbell4 of the text, whose brother Richard4 was the father of the
last Richbell5 in this line, as will be seen later. Cotemporary with this last
was another, the sixth to bear the name of Richbell, born about 1763, of Far
Rockaway, who is easily separated bv the fact that he was brother of Elkanah5,
both the sons of Richard4, the son of Henry3, the son of that John* to whom
Adam2 Mott sold his farm in Rockaway in 171Q. The relative positions in the
family pedigree may be readily seen in the subjoined table.

Undoubtedly he continued to live at Rockaway for awhile, for
Nov. 28, 17 19, Adam Mott, Sr., with Mary his wife, and Adam,
Jr., with Elizabeth his wife, "now living all of us at a place
called Rockaway," joined in conveying to John* Mott 264 acres of
land, with the houses, barns, etc., thereon. In 1725 he had trans-
ferred his residence to Staten Island, for June 15 of that year
Enoch Stephenson and wife Katherine conveyed to him certain
lands with house, barns, etc., thereon, situated on the south side
of the Freshkill in Richmond Co., the same being then in the
occupation of the grantee under a lease; and Sept. 10 following
"Mr." Adam Mott's cattle mark was recorded in the county
clerk's books. The fact that his mother's people, the Stilwells,
were living on Staten Island, doubtless influenced him in chang-
ing his residence. In 1728 he was made the County Clerk, and
appears to have occupied the
office for ten years. His peculiar
signature (sometimes mistaken
for Abram Mott) on many of his
official documents in the county
and at Albanv serves to identify
him both in Hempstead and after his retirement from office * In
1738 he wrote from Richmond county to the Governor in behalf
of his son Richbell. Evidently he returned to Long Island, for
July 11, 1745, with his wife Elizabeth, he sold to John Allyn,
then of Madnan's Neck (north side of Hempstead) their "home
farm of land . . . formerly belonging to Richbell Mott,"
Elizabeth's father, consisting of 138 acres "which had been

Adam Mott's." This was his last appearance in the New York
records The discovery a few years ago of a forgotten volume
in the cellar of the County Court House in New York City, gave
the first intimation of his subsequent history. Therein it ap-
peared that Elizabeth Mott of Richmond county, widow, filed a
bond for ^500 as administratrix of her late husband, Adam
Mott, "formerly of Richmond county, but since of the Province
of Penna.," gentleman, deceased. Samuel Stillwell of New York
City, merchant, was the surety, and the date was March 8, 1749.
Of the estate on the Freshkill, which had been acquired in 1725,
the records show no disposition in his lifetime, or in that of
his widow. Searches in the records of many of the county seats
of Pennsylvania failed to locate him after 1745. Recently Mr.
William Alfred Robbins placed before the writer an original
deposition which gave the clue resulting in the discovery of his
retreat. Under date of Oct. 1, 1750, Richbell Mott, his son, testi-
fied in Queens Co., N. Y.,to having been present at the marriage
of one George Manlove "of the Little Creek Hundred In County
of Kent upon Deleware," to Mary, the daughter of John Treadwell
of Hempstead, the officiating clergyman being "Mr. Reading,
Rector of the Parish Church of St. Georges In New Castle
County In the Territories of pensilvany," and that the deponent
"was Bondsman for the License In the Town of Dover," that he
is "Aged Thirty-Two yeares, of the County of Kent upon Dele-
ware, Gentleman."! A personal search of the county records at
Dover disclosed much of the subsequent history of the family.
Peter Galloway and his wife Elizabeth, Feb. n, 1747, oi the
county of Kent, conveyed by deed to "Adam Mott of the county
of Richmond in the Colony of New York," for a consideration of
^350, several parcels of land in Dover Hundred, lying upon
Dover Creek and Dover River, with their houses, barns, etc.,
Richbell Mott being one of the witnesses; and on the same day
the same grantors conveyed to the same grantees 180 acres of
land "called Willinbrook" in Little Creek Hundred in the same
county.}: On Feb. 22, 1748, Adam Mott of Kent Co. conveyed to
* In the State Library at Albany there was, until recently, on file, the
deposition of one Adam Mott, yeoman, of Richmond Co., Henry Young and
Joseph Carman, concerning a wounded whale cast ashore on Staten Island,
dated Apr. 10, 1730. The Mott signature makes it evident that the signer was
not the county clerk, nor apparently could he have been any other descendant
of the patriarch than the son of that name of Charles2 of Hempstead It is
more likely that he wasthat Adam (son of Lorus or Lawrence Mott) of Matin-
ecock, Long Island, who in 1724 submitted the inventory of his brother
Thomas' estate at Little Egg Harbor, N. J., and of whom we know nothing
further.
t The State of Delaware has but three counties, New Castle in the north
Kent in the middle, and Sussex in the south. New Castle was the seat of that
county until the year i88i,when it was removed to Wilmington. Search in
the Registry of Wills there discloses nothing of the surname of Mott until
1784, when administration of the estate of Nathan Mott was granted to Freder-
ick Eristmingland, said Nathan, lately deceased, having lived at Newcastle.
Later the name of Mote appears, the family being of Mill Creek Hundred.
Apparently neither was of the eastern family of Mott.

his "son Richbell Mott" of the same place the Dover lands
bought of Galloway the year before, and upon the record appears,
affixed to the acknowledgment under date of March u, 1748, the
signature of Adam Mott made familiar to |is by its frequent oc-
currence on New York documents.*
In the Dover Registry of Wills (K, 6) it appears that Feb. 7,
1749, there was issued "at Dover in Kent ... to Richbel
Mott, son of Adam Mott, dec'd," letters of administration, the
said Adam having lately died intestate. It will be remembered
that on March 8 following the widow Elizabeth was bonded as
administratrix in Richmond Co., N. Y. In the Registry of Deeds
at Dover under date of Dec. 14, 1757 (P, 47) it may be read that
"Adam Mott, late of Kent Co., deceased .... left three chil-
dren, to wit, Richbell Mott, eldest son . . . Elizabeth, the
wife of Benjamin Seamans, and Richard Mott, a minor." Further
reference to this document will be made in its proper place. It
is therefore apparent that Adam' Mott, the. Richmond Co. clerk,
and grandson of the patriarch in the oldest line of descent, died
while a resident of Delaware a little before Feb. 7, 1749.
Elizabeth Mott, the widow, continued in residence at Staten
Island, made her will there Jan. 30, 1777, appointing her "grand-
son Richard Seaman of Richmond Co." her executor, and died
sometime before April 2, 1778, when the will was proved. Her
legatees were "grandson Richbell, son of my son Richard Mott,
dec'd," when he shall reach the age of 22; "granddaughter Eliza-
beth Seaman, daughter of my daughter Elizabeth, the wife of
Benjamin Seamans." No mention was made of the children of
her older son Richbell. Her gravestone has not been found on
Staten Island, though diligent search has been made for it, nor is
that of her husband standing in either of the two old church-
yards in Dover.
Apparently the only issue of Adam' and Elizabeth Mott were:
1. Richbell4, born 1717-18 (32 in Oct. 1750).
2. Elizabeth, wife of Benjamin Seaman in 1743-
3. Richard4, born later than 1728.
Richbell4, the older son of the County Clerk, stated in his
deposition of 1750 concerning the Manlove marriage that he was
"aged 32 years." Hence 1717-18 must be ascribed as the approxi-
mate date of his birth. He had, therefore, barely come of age
when his father appealed to the Governor, Nov. 1738, to appoint
him "lieutenant at large" for Richmond Co. He married while
in his minority, March 1, 1736, Mary, daughter of Richard and
Sarah Seamans. March 9, 1744, then styled "of Co. Richmond,
gentleman," he was appointed by the Court to administer upon
the estate of Samuel Briton, dec'd. He accompanied his father
to Delaware in 1747, settled the paternal estate there two years
later, and continued in residence in Kent Co., in the township of
Little Creek Hundred, until his death in 1762. Apparently a
separation had occurred from his wife, for when her father Rich-
ard Seaman, "of Herricks in the bounds of Hempstead," wrote
* Kent Co. Deeds N, 252.

his will on the 15th of the 5th month, 1751, he gave to her the
use of the house he had "bought from Searing," with certain per-
sonal effects, "all these she is to have during the time she doth or
shall live separate from her husband Richbell Mott, or if he
should die, then to her use during her widowhood;" and in a
codicil (April 17, 1752) revoking this bequest adds, "she shall
have the use of the new house I am building ... so long as
she lives separate from her husband."
Feb. 7, 1753, Richbell Mott, "of Kent Co., farmer," conveyed
to Richard Wells two parcels of land in Dover Hundred, being a
portion of the purchase of his father Adam from Galloway in
1747, and which constituted a part of his share of the estate.
Jan. r, 1759, then of Little Creek Hundred, "gentleman," he con-
veyed "in consideration of the love and good will that I have and
do bear to the Societies of the Church of England and the Pres-
byterians, and for the edication of youth professing themselves
members of either of the Societies above said" to John Brinckle
of Little Creek Hundred and to "Richard Mott of the same
place, vestrymen in the Parish of St. Mary in Kent Co. on Dela-
ware," and to John Miller, Presbyterian minister at Dover, cer-
tain lands, being a part of his homestead in Little Creek Hun-
dred "called by the name of York."
The date of his death has not been learned, nor the place of
his burial, but June 10, 1762, letters of administration were issued
at Dover "to Matthew Manlove and Sarah Manlove (Mary Mott
ye widow having first exhibited her Renn)."* In a conveyance
from Richard Mott, his son, in 1767, to be hereafter more par-
ticularly noted, there occurs this passage — "the said Richbell
Mott . . . died intestate, leaving Mary, widow; Richard, his
eldest son, and several other sons and daughters;" and in another
conveyance from Seaman Mott it is stated that Richbell Mott
died "leaving four children, to wit, Sarah, now the wife of Mat-
thew Manlove, and Richard Mott, Seaman Mott and Elizabeth, the
wife of Solomon Seamans."f Mary, his widow, was living in 1767.
Thus it appears that the issue of Richbell4 and Mary Mott were:
1. Sarah, probably the oldest child, and the wife of Mat-
thew Manlove in June, 1762.
2. Richard6, older son, probably not of age in 1762.
3. Seaman6.
4. Elizabeth, wife of Solomon Seaman in 1768.
Richard4 Mott, the second son of the County Clerk, was born
as late certainly as 1728, for he was under age in 1749 when his
father died. Thomas Irons was his guardian. On the 14th
Dec, 1757, he, then "of Kent Co., yeoman," conveyed to John
Vining his interest, as a younger son, in divers pieces of land in
Dover, one of them bounding on Court House Square. J

He was that Richard who in 1759 was a vestryman of the
"Parish of St. Mary in Kent Co." mentioned in the conveyance
of that year of lands in Little Creek Hundred, forming a part of
the homestead of his brother Richbell. His father's land at
Willingbrook in Little Creek Hundred, ona hundred and eighty
acres, "the whole tract," he sold May 27, 1763, to Govey Emer-
son. No further mention of him in the Dover Registry appears
until 1766, when, on Dec. 17, Jerusha Mott, widow, was granted
letters of administration on the estate of Richard Mott, deceased.
Thereafter neither the widow nor any Motts that could have
been his children can be discovered on the record in Delaware.
In her will of 1777, his mother Elizabeth, of Staten Island, names
her son Richard's son Richbell, at that time not twenty-two
years of age.
The only known issue of Richard* and his wife Jerusha was:
1. Richbell*, born later than 1756, living in Dover 1766,
and alive in 1777, then under twenty-two. Nothing
further is known of him. He could not have been
that other Richbell of Rockaway, who was born about
1763, for he was brother to an Elkanah, sons of another
Richard4, who was grandson of that John" Mott of
Rock?.way to whom the County Clerk sold the farm in
17 19. This last Rockaway Richbell was the tobac-
conist of New York City, 1801-1811, and was dead in
1828, the father of a Stephen, probably the brass
founder of New York.
Richard6 Mott, the elder of the two sons of Richbell4 of Lit-
tle Creek Hundred, was born probably either on Staten Island or
Long Island, and about the year 1742. It seems conclusive that
he was not of age when his father's estate was placed under ad-
ministration in 1762.
On May 6, 1767, Richard Mott, then "of Queens Co., N. Y.,
yeoman," as the "eldest son" joins with his mother "Mary Mott
of Queens Co., widow and relict of Richbell Mott," in conveying
to Thomas Irons of Kent Co., Delaware, their interest in certain
lands (300 acres), "part of two large tracts called York and
Willingbrook in Little Creek Hundred," the said Richbell having
"died intestate leaving Mary, widow, Richard, the eldest son
. . . and several other sons and daughters." Matthew and
Sarah Manlove witnessed the conveyance.* It is apparent that
he had returned to Long Island from Delaware and was prob-
ably living with his mother at Herricks, "within the bounds of
Hempstead."
In the records of the Surrogate Court in New York Cityf
there may be read the will of Richard Mott "of Herricks in the
township of Hempstead," made "on the 12th day of the eighth
month, 1779," he tnen being "in a weak state of health." It
gives "all my wearing apparel unto my brother Seaman Mott
. . . my bed and furniture . . . unto my sister Sarah

hands of the Treasurer of the monthly meeting of Friends at
Westbury for the use of said meeting . . the remainder

dren of my sister Sarah Manlove. "f It is apparent that Richard
Mott after his return to Long Island, and undoubtedly under the
influence of his mother's people, the Seamans, joined the Quakers,
and that he died between August 12, 1799, and July 28, 1780,
leaving neither wife nor child and with no real estate.
Seaman6 Mott, the younger of the two sons of Richbell, was
probably born 1744-46. His name first appears upon the Kent
Co. records May 14, 1767, when James Stevens sold to him for
^360 certain lands on "St. Jones's Neck" in that county. On
Feb. 24, 1768, then "of Little Creek Neck and Hundred, yeoman,"
he sold to Abraham Vamoy, Jr., for ^300, his interest in lands
"called York," which had been his father Richbell's, and ap-
points Samuel McCall and Mark McCall his attorneys to appear
for him "at any time after the date of this" document. Two
months later, Apr. 21, 1768, then of Kent Co., with wife Nancy,
he conveyed to Govey Emerson his interest in the York and
Willingbrook lands, and in this deed it is again recited that Rich-
bell Mott died "leaving four children, to wit: Sarah, now the
wife of Matthew Manlove, and Richard Mott, Seaman Mott and
Elizabeth, the wife of Solomon Seamans of Maryland." His
name does not appear later either as grantee or grantor in the
land records of the county, nor is there in the Dover Registry of
Wills anything relating to the settlement of his estate. Delaware
Archives, I. 70, 71, is authority for the statement that he was a
sergeant in Capt. Manlove's company, "part of the flying camp in
the Delaware battalion," enlisted July 30, 1776. The Simmons
Moat of the Dover Tax List of 1785 was undoubtedly the same
man. The wording of his elder brother Richard's will of 1779
implies that at that time he had children, but nothing has been
learned of them either in Delaware or Long Island. It is pos-
sible that the descendants might be traced through the records
of the Pension Office in Washington.
' t Several wills in the Dover Registry throw light on the Manlove connec-
tion. That of Matthew of Kent Co., made Dec. 13, 1773, presented Dec. 23,
1773, names sister Margaret Craigo, brother Mark Manlove, and nephew Mat-
thew Manlove (L. 147). The will of another Matthew (apparently the husband
of Sarah Mott) of Kent Co., made April, 1775, presented Jan. 1, 1778, mentions
wife Sarah, and minor children without naming them (L. 197). The will of
Mott Manlove of Dover, yeoman, made Sept. 29, 1790, presented Oct. 12, 1790,
gives his entire estate to his "natural daughter Elizabeth Manlove," and in case
of her death before the age of twenty-one, to his brother George Manlove (M.
253). The will of another Matthew Manlove of Kent Co., made Feb. II, 1811,
gives all his estate to nephew, Charles Polk (O. 252), and to the children of my
sister, Elizabeth Seaman, to be equally divided "between them" when they ar-
rive respectively to the age of twenty-one years old or their respective days of
marriage, or the first of those terms that shall happen." His "Kinsman Giles
Seaman . . . and Richard Seaman, sons of my uncle Giles Seaman of
Oyster Bay" to be the executors. The witnesses were Thomas Pearsall, John
Searing and Sarah Lake, a spinster, who deposed July 28, 1780, and Apr. 25,
1781, letters testamentary were issued to the executors.
19 1 4-1 Adam Mott of Staten Island. I 25
The Kent County records reveal the existence there at an
early date of one Samuel Mott, whose family affiliations are not
readily discernible. "Att a Court held for St. Joneses Countie
the 20th of December, 1681, upon the severall pettions of the
hereafter mentioned parsons desireing to take up land within
the precincts of this Countie the Court grants the sd. Petitioners
the following quantitys exprest " — among others to "Samuel
Mott a grant of 400 ackers of land."* Thomas Heathered "of
county St. Joneses in the Province of New York, planter,"
Aug. 11, 1682, assigned to Samuel Mott of the same place a lot
"called Heatherds adventure . . . being situated on the west
side of Delaware Bay and on the north side of a creek called
Murther Creek near unto the head of the saide Creeke side and
running from thence north-east," on Beaver Dam, containing
three hundred acres. f On. the 15th of — mo, 1685, Samuel Mott
"of Kent in territories of the Province of Penn." sold to John
Edmundson for ,£18, one hundred and fifty acres adjoining
Heatherd's Adventure, being one-half of a lot of three hundred
acres "called Edmondson's charge. "J Again, the same grantor
on the 15th of 12th mo., 1685, conveyed to the same grantee the
piece known as Heatherd's Adventure. § On the 10th of the 1st
mo., 1689-90, Sarah Bishop of Kent Co., as administratrix of the
estate of Benoni Bishop, sold to Samuel Mott four hundred acres
called " Mott's field " in Kent Co., on the west side of Delaware
Bay "in a fork of Murder Creek."|| Samuel Mott assigned to
John Edmondson, Feb. 4, 1687-8, lands covered by a Patent
issued to him 12th of 8mo., 1681.I
In the Dover Registry of Wills it appears that on the 14th of
7th mo., 1692, Sarah Mott of the "county of Kent in the Terri-
tories of Penn.," widow and relict of Samuel Mott of the county
aforesaid, who had died intestate, was appointed by the Court to
administer upon the estate.**
The two creeks frequently mentioned in the Kent County
deeds, Little Creek and Murder, are still known by the same
names. Little Creek, which gave its name to the Hundred, or
township, enters the Delaware Bay at a point directly east of
the county town of Dover, and distant from it about seven miles.
Murder, or Murder Hill Creek, enters the Bay at about the same
distance to the southward; it is much the larger of the two,
extending into the country through tortuous twistings in a
southwest direction. The first "fork" is about five miles from
the coast, the present town of Frederica occupying the ground
between the two streams. Two miles further inland the Creek
divides again. The sites of " Mott's Field " was probably at one
or the other of these forks.
This Samuel Mott does not appear to belong to the Long
Island family of that surname, and could not have been very
closely related to the Richmond Co. Clerk. Adam' of Hempstead

grandfather of the Clerk, had no son of record bearing the name
of Samuel, and the dates preclude the theory that he was his
grandson. Nathaniel1 Mott of Scituate and Braintree, Mass.,
was father of a Samuel,1 born 1668, but that man had a wife Mary,
lived in Lyme, Conn., and made his will in 1751. Adam' Mott of
Portsmouth, R. I., had in his large family no son Samuel, but
the Kent Co. man might easily have been a grandson. The sea-
faring leanings of all these Mott families were quite pronounced,
and it was a common occurrence for the coastwise sloops from
New England and Long Island to extend their trade much
farther from home than Delaware Bay.

EARLY SETTLERS OF WEST FARMS, WESTCHESTER
COUNTY, N. Y.
Copied from the manuscript record of the late Rev. Theodore A. Leggett,
by A. Hatfield, Jr.
(Continued from Vol. XLV, p. 80, of the Record.)
Compiler's Note:— In comparing the will of Gabriel Leggett
as given by the Rev. Mr. Leggett, with the copy filed in the
Surrogate's Office, New York (Liber 1-2, page 335, according to
the last binding of the volumes, or, Liber 2, page 25, according
the index), it appears that Mr. Leggett must have made a mis-
take in copying the will, and was therefore in error in thinking
that Gabriel made no mention of his daughter Mary in the will,
and hence, in his later conjectures as to the date of her birth.
The fourth paragraph of the will should read: "I give and be-
queath unto my daughter Martha Leggatt my little negro boy.
Item. / will and bequeath unto my daughter Mary Leggatt twenty
pounds. I will and bequeath unto my daughter Sarah Leggatt
twenty pounds," etc. Also; Mr. Leggett's note that this daughter
Mary was "well married to John Archer" at this time is not
correct, as we find in the will of Gabriel* Leggett, 1781, a bequest
to his daughter Mary Archer, who is evidently the Mary, wife of
John Archer, to whom Mr. Leggett refers.
The son of John Leggett, the mariner, is identified by the
following extract from the records of the Dutch Church of New
York: Married, Sept. 14, 1688: "Jan Legget, j.m. van de Bar-
bados, en Catalina Tenbroeck, 3. d. van N. Albamen, d'eerste
wonende alhier, entwede tot N. Albanien." Translation: John
Leggett, young man (i. e., unmarried), of the Barbadoes, and
Catalina ten Broeck, young maiden, of New Albany; the first
living here, the second at New Albany.
Their children, baptised in New York, as found in the Dutch
Church records, were:
1689, July 29. Rachel. Sponsors: Hendnck H. ten Broeck
and Gertrude ten Broeck.
1692, Feb. 28. Christina. Sponsors: Capt. Brandt Schuyler
and Lysbeth ten Broeck. (Christina died in infancy.)
1693, April 2. Jan and Christina (twins). Sponsors: Dirck
Wesselszen, Cornelia Schuyler, Jannetje ten Broeck.
The indications are that this family removed to Columbia Co.,
N Y. From the Rev. W. J. Leggett, now of Nyack, I obtain the
information which enables me to arrange the following pedigree:

There is also a New England family, of which I have direct
knowledge by correspondence with Mr. William Morris Legate
of Leominster, Mass., born 1815. He says the first of his family
came from Yarmouth, England, and was:
Capt. Robert,1 or Thomas Leggate, born 1700-17 10, who
was a captain in the English navy, and was killed at
the battle of Louisburg (whether that of 1747 or 1758
he does not state). His wife was a French woman
named Dupee. They had 2 sons: Thomas;2 Robert,
who m. and had son Thomas,' of Worcester, Mass., who
was city councillor, 1780-82.
Thomas,* m. and had 3 sons: William,' a mariner; Thomas,
major at Galina, 111., 1846, who had 2 sons: George and
Bruce, both cadets at West Point; Samuel,' b. 1790.
William,' the mariner, m. and had son William Morris,*
and 2 daughters.
Representatives of this family are now living at Leominster,
Mass.; Stratham, N. H.; Hartford, Conn.; Leavenworth, Kan.;
Denison, Texas; Mineral Point, Wis.; Woodland, Yolo Co., Cal.;
Westerly, R. I.
The tradition that the first of the Leggett name living in
America came from Essex County, England, is found among all
branches of the family, and was believed and told, I find, before
anything was written or printed concerning the pedigree. That
the American progenitors came from England is conclusive, and
the evidence seems to show that they came from Essex.
Westchester County was settled chiefly by English, West
Farms entirely so, and by Englishmen coming, for the most part,
from New England, and there is circumstantial evidence that,
although Gabriel Leggett may have come into New York directly
from England, John Leggett, who is assumed to have been Ga-
briel's father, had lived for some years in Exeter and Hampton,
1914O Early Settlers of West Farms, Westchester County, N. Y. I 29
now in the State of New Hampshire, and that he, John Leggett,
had come into New England by way of the Barbadoes.
In an old English work entitled "Memoirs of First Settlers of
the Island of Barbados, and other Carribbee Islands," I find in
the list of settlers owning more than ten acres of land in the year
1638 the name of John Legat. In the list of inhabitants for 1640
his name does not appear, and it would seem from this that by
the latter date he was either dead or had removed. About 1640
we find a John Legat in New England. I have no certain evi-
dence identifying this John as he of Barbadoes, but it seems
likely that they were the same, and it is worthy of note that the
Leggetts of Westchester were connected in various ways with
the West Indies, and especially with Barbadoes.
John Legat, or Leggett, was at Hampton, N. H., 1640, and
again in 1649; at Exeter 1642 to 1649. He was town clerk of
Exeter, 1642-49, and taught school in both Hampton and Exeter.
I transcribe the following from Bell's History of Exeter: "Phili-
mon Pormont was the first schoolmaster, before he departed an-
other well qualified to be his successor had come to settle in the
town, John Legat. He had taught school at Hampton. He lived
in the place up to the year 1652, at least." His name was entered
on the town book Oct. 20, 1642. From Toppan's Hampton Gene-
alogies: "John Legat was admitted an inhabitant of Hampton
the 30th day, 8th mo., 1640. Afterward at Exeter and again at
Hampton in 1649." Hampto?i Tozvn Records: "On the second of
the second month, 1649, the selectmen of the town of Hampton
have agreed with John Legat for this present year ensuing to
teach and instruct all children of or belonging to our town."
On the nth of November, 1642, John Legat, together with
Edward Hilton, John Smart and John Richardson, witnessed the
will of Thomas Wilson of Exeter; the will was proved Suffolk
County, Massachusetts, the 31st of the 8th month, 1634, and in
1644 John Legat married Anne, widow of the said Thomas Wil-
son. (Thomas Wilson came to this country in June, 1633, with
wife Anne and three sons, Humphrey, Samuel and Joshua; he
had two other children born here, Deborah, born August, 1634,
and Lydia, born November, 1636. He lived at Roxbury, and
went later to Exeter, N. H., with Wheelwright.) There is no
record of any children having been born to John and Anne (Wil-
son) Legat.
There seems to be no further mention of John Richardson at
Exeter, but shortly after we find a John Richardson and a John
Legat in Westchester. Richardson as one of the Patentees, with
Edward Jessup, to the Manor of West Farms, and Gabriel Leg-
gat (the first of the West Farms line) married Richardson's
daughter, Elizabeth. Another John Legat (the mariner), who
died in Barbadoes, was also from Westchester, and is supposed
by Bolton and Pelletreau to have been a son of John and brother
to Gabriel Legget of West Farms, though there seems to be no
actual proof of the connection other than the fact that they were
all in Westchester at about the same time. The differences in
spelling the name are no disproof of relationship, as it is found
130 Early Settlers of West Farms, Westchester County, N. Y. [April,
variously given in the early records: Legat, Leggatt, Leggett,
etc. I am of the opinion that John Legat of Exeter was the father
of John (the mariner) and of Gabriel of West Farms; that he was
a widower when he left England for Barbadoes previous to 1638,
and that probably his children by his first wife were left in Eng-
land and came to him later in Westchester as men.
Another connecting link between Exeter, N. H., and the set-
tlement of Westchester is the fact that Mrs. Anne Hutchinson,
whose brother-in-law, the Rev. John Wheelwright, was the
founder of Exeter, and who was herself at Exeter for a short
time, came to Westchester with John Throckmorton in 1642.
She and her family were massacred by the Indians the following
year.

Note on the Jessup and Hunt Connection:
Edward Jessup emigrated into Westchester from Fairfield,
Conn. In the latter place he was owner of lands on Sascoe Neck.
As has already been stated in these pages, he was one of the
original proprietors and patentees with John Richardson of the
West Farms.
His wife was Elizabeth . (Bolton gives her name as
Bridges, but in the Jessup Genealogy it is stated that no record of
her maiden name has been found.) After the death of Edward
Jessup, his widow, Elizabeth, married Robert Beacham, as ap-
pears by a deed of sale by them to Thomas Hunt of "all those
lands and accommodations which were formerly Edward Jes-
sup's, within the limits of Westchester that the sd Edward Jes-
sup and John Richardson together bought."
Edward and Elizabeth Jessup left one son, Edward, and two
daughters, one of whom was Elizabeth, who married Thomas
Hunt.
The following deed by Edward Jessup, junior, is not impor-
tant except as it further identifies Cicely Hunt the wife of John'
Leggett: "Know all men by these presents that I Edward
Jessup, of the town of Fairfield, New England, have sold,
alienated, and conveyed, &c, unto Thomas Hunt, Junior, of the
town of Westchester, his heirs, &c, all my right, title and inter-
est to and in a certain parcell of mares, horses, and colts,
within the government of New York, formerly belonging to my
father Jessup. That is to say, all and every part and parcell of
them, the above said Jades (no doubt branded and turned loose
in the woods of the West Farms patent, according to terms of
IQI4J Early Settlers of West Farms, Westchester County, N. Y. 131
purchase) and all their increase, excepting to myself one yearling
horse colt, which I give to the sd Thomas' daughter Silly (Cicily),
freely giving and granting to the sd Silly; owning and acknowl-
edging to have received due and full satisfaction for the said
Jades of the sd Thomas Hunt. In witness whereof, I have (&c.)
. . . on this 3d day of July, 1682. (Signed) Edward Jessup.
Witnesses: John Cooper, Roger Bartow, Abraham Whearly."
Thomas Hunt, formerly of Rye, and son of Thomas Hunt and
Cicily (Pasley) Hunt, purchased in Westchester what was known
as the Grove Farm, which was patented to him Dec. 4, 1667. In
1668, as already stated, he purchased from his mother-in-law,
widow of Edward Jessup, the Jessup portion of the West
Farms patent. The next year he and John Richardson made
an equal division of the estate. In 1688 he granted to his
son Thomas what has since become known as Hunt's Point, or
"One hundred acres lying at the south side of Gabriel Leggett's
land, bounded easterly and southerly by the Bronck's."
His will is dated Oct. 6, 1694. He had previously deeded to
his son Thomas certain lands, reserving to himself and his wife
Elizabeth the use thereof during their lives; Thomas, junior, to
pay Thomas, senior's, daughter Scisily (Thomas, junior's, sister)
within four years after the death of the last parent ^60, in four
payments of ^15 each year.
Thomas and Elizabeth (Jessup) Hunt had eight children, the
youngest of whom was Cicily, who married John" Leggett.
Gabriel Leggett and His Descendants.
1. Gabriel1 Leggett, born probably in Essex County, England,
in 1635; came to Westchester County, N. Y., about 1670-76; re-
sided at West Farms; was a land owner and merchant; he died
at West Farms, before July, 1700, and was probably buried in the
family graveyard on Hunt's Point. He was married, presumably
at Wrest Farms, about 1676, to Elizabeth Richardson of West
Farms. She was born at , about 1656; died at West Farms,
, 1724, and was probably buried in the graveyard on Hunt's
Point; she was a daughter of John Richardson, one of the original
patentees of the Manor of West Farms, and his wife Martha.
Children, 9 (Leggett), 4 sons and 5 daughters, all born, pre-
sumably, at West Farms, Westchester:
+ 2 i. John,8 b. , 1677; d. , 1707; m. Cicily Hunt.

brother Thomas, written on that date.

In a book entitled Narrative of Wajor Abraham Leggett of the
Armv of the Revolution, it is stated that Gabriel1 was born in
England in 1635. (Major Abraham Leggett was a son of John,*
William,9 Gabriel,1 was quite a distinguished man of his day, and
was vice-president of the Society ot the Cincinnati, and he may
have known the exact date of his great-grandfather's birth,
although it has not been possible to verify his statement.) The
records of lands owned by Gabriel1 and his will have been given
on a previous page, also such data as is known concerning
Elizabeth Richardson, Gabriel's wife.
The exact order of birth of the children of Gabriel1 and
Elizabeth is not known, but such dates as are known, and guided
by the order in which they are mentioned in Gabriel's will, it
should be as given above. In the census for the town of West-
chester, 1698, we find " Gabriel Leaggatt, wife Elesebath, children
John, Thomas, william, mary, sarah, alee, Elesabath;" from this
it seems likely that GabrieF was not born until 1698.
I find no further record of any of the daughters, excepting
Martha, who married William Davenport.
Gabriel1 Leggett died before July, 1700; the exact date is not
known, and the date of probate of his will is not given, but the
will recorded just before his bears the date of June 28, 1700, and
the one following July — , 1700, placing the date of his death
probably only a short time previous to July, 1700.

2. John3 Leggett (Gabriel1), born presumably at West Farms,
May 1, 1677 (?), resided at West Farms, was a landowner as his
father, died at West Farms, Dec. — , 1707, and was probably buried
at Hunt's Point. He was married, presumably, at West Farms,
, 1698 or 1699, to Cicily Hunt of West Farms. She was born
, before 1682, died between March 18 and Dec. 19, 1732, and
was probably buried at Hunt's Point; she was a daughter of
Thomas Hunt, who purchased his father-in-law, Edward Jes-
sup's, share of the West Farms Patent in 1668, and his wife, Eliza-
beth Jessup.

It is probable that John* Leggett was born May 1, 1677, since
on May 1, 1698, his father, Gabriel,1 gave him a deed for fifty
acres of land, presumably upon his coming of age. It appears
also that he married about this date, or at any rate as early as
1699, since in the history of the Jessup family, by the Rev.
Henry G. Jesup, it is stated that "John Leggett, the son of Ga-
briel, was a son-in-law of Thomas Hunt and had in 1700 a daugh-
ter Martha."
Since John4 Leggett died at an early age very little is found
in the public records concerning him. I note that John Leggett
was a juror in 1705. Letters of administration of his estate were
granted to his wife, Cicily, Dec. 18, 1707.
I am uncertain as to the order of birth of the children of John1
and Cicily. Bolton and Pelletreau name only John and David;
Martha is named as the only child in 1700 {Jessup Gen.) and
therefore was probably the eldest; we get the names of Joshua
and Sarah from deeds on record in Westchester.
By deed dated April 25, 1720, Robert and Cicily Eddas give to
"our loving son, Joshua Legit, a negro boy Dick." Sarah Leg-
gett signed a release of the personal estate of her father, 1721. I
find nothing later on record concerning any of the children ex-
cept John and Joshua. After the death of John' Leggett, his
widow, Cicily (Hunt) Leggett, married Robert Eddas of West-
chester. He was probably a widower when he married Cicily,
and it was a daughter by this previous marriage who married
Daniel Hunt, whom Cicily, in her will, calls "son-in-law." Robert
Eddas died in 1726-27, and in his will dated Feb. 22, 1726, proved
Westchester County, April 11, 1727, he mentions his wife, not
named, sons Robert and John, daughter Abigail, granddaughters
Arsenah and Phebe Hunt, all under twenty-one years of age.
Cicily (Leggett) Eddas died 1732, and her will, dated March
18, proved Dec. 19, 1732, mentions her son John Eddas, son Rob-
ert, daughter Abigail, and "the children which I had by both
my husbands, John Leggett and Robert Eddas." Executors, son
John Leggett and son-in-law Daniel Hunt.
(Pelletreau's abstracts of these two wills differ slightly from
those of the New York Historical Society Collections, which have
been followed in the above notes.)

3. Thomas1 Leggett (Gabriel1), born probably at West Farms
about 1678, resided at West Farms, was a landowner; he died at
West Farms, 1707 or 1708; was not married.
In Bolton's History of Westchester the date of his birth is given
as 1678. I have found no original 1 records relating to him be-
yond that of his will. By this it is evident that he died a young
man — thirty years of age if the above date of birth be correct —
that he was unmarried and that his sisters Sarah, Alice and
Elizabeth were living and unmarried at that date, and his sister
Martha the wife of William Davenport, Jr. No mention is made
of his sister Mary, and it is probable that she was dead before his
will was written.
(This will confirms the fact that Gabriel3 was the son of Ga-
briel,1 and not of Thomas2 as Bolton states him to have been.
Bolton's error was no doubt due to the fact that Gabriel3 is not
mentioned in the will of Gabriel/ and he seems to have quite
overlooked other evidence.)
Will of Thomas3 Leggett, dated Sept. 7, 1707. Letters testa-
mentary granted to Elizabeth Leggett, April 13, 1708. After the
usual prefix, etc.: "I give full power to my beloved mother,
Elizabeth Legitt, whom I have made Executrix of my last will
and testament, to dispose of all my lands and meadows lying in
the West Farms, which my father Gabriel Leggitt gave me, as
she shall see cause, she having the advice of William Nicholls,
Esq., Mr. Rd Alsop of Masby (Maspeth) Kills, and Mr. John Law-
rence of Hellgate, but my will and mind is that what the said es-
tate is sold for shall be put out for the use, benefitt and behoofe
of my brother Gabriel Leggitt when he comes to age, or to his
heirs lawfully begotten, and if the said lands and meadows be not
disposed of before my said brother come to age yn my will and
mind is yl ye sd lands and meadows be to him and his heirs law-
fully begotten, and if the sd Gabriel dye without issue then I
give my sd land and meadow, or what it was disposed of for, unto
my brother William Legitt or to his heirs, and if in case my
sd brother William Legitt, dye without issue, then I give the sd
land and meadow, or what it was disposed of for, to my three sis-
ters, viz.: Sarah, Alice, and Elizabeth Legitt to be divided
equally amongst them or to their heirs. And for want of such
issue, I give it to the heirs of Martha Davenport, wife of William
Davenport, Junior. But my will and mind is that my sister
Martha Davenport shall have five pounds paid her out of my es-
tate within two years after my decease." He further gives to his
sisters Sarah, Alice, and Elizabeth each five pounds when they
come to age. Gives all his cattle, sheep, horses, and other per-
sonal estate to his mother. Appoints his mother and his friends
William Nichols, Esq., of Islip, Suffolk Co., Mr. Richard Alsop,
of Maspeth Kills in Newton, Queens Co., and Capt. John Law-
rence, of Hellgate Neck in Newton, his executrix and executors.

1914.] Early Settlers of West Farms, Westchester County, N. Y. I 35
4. Martha' Leggett (Gabriel1), born at West Farms, probably,
about 1680; died, presumably, at Perth Amboy, N. J. (date and
place of burial not found). She married, probably, at West
Farms previous to 1707 to William Davenport, junior, born ;
died . (Nothing further has been discovered concerning her.)
On the 30th of Sept., 1723, William Davenport of Perth Am-
boy, in East New Jersey, and Bridget, his wife, did convey all
their right, title and interest in the Patent of West Farms unto
William Leggett. From this it would appear that Martha had
died between 1707, the date of her brother Thomas' will, and
1723, and that her husband had remarried. Another agreement,
dated Oct. 10, 1723, is an "Indenture Tripantile" (the original is
in the possession of Mr. Francis W. Leggett) between Gabriel
Leggett, 2d, William Leggett and Abraham Lent, their signa-
tures affixed, by which each has free right to fish, hunt, &c,
within the Patent of West Farms, and by this instrument it ap-
pears that Elizabeth, widow of Gabriel1 Leggett, had the day be-
fore granted this right to Gabriel," that only the day before
Thomas Davenport and Sarah, his wife, had conveyed their same
rights to Abraham Lent, and that William Davenport and his
wife Bridget had on Sept. 30 conveyed the same to William Leg-
gett (as stated above).
These deeds may be interpreted in several ways; it is possible
that this William Davenport is the one who married Martha*
Leggett, with a second wife Bridget, as surmised above, and that
Sarah, the wife of Thomas Davenport, may be Sarah* Leggett, of
whom we have no records, the two sisters having married broth-
ers, or it is possible that this William and Thomas may have been
the sons of William Davenport, junior, and Martha Leggett, or
that the William named is William, junior, and Thomas, the son.
(No further records of any of this family have been found, so
that it will have to remain conjecture for the present, at least.)
7. William" Leggett (Gabriel1), born at West Farms, Sept. 1,
1091, was a landowner, is said to have been a sea captain for a
time, and was alderman and mayor of the borough town of West-
chester for many years; he died at West Farms, May 26, 1763,
and was buried at Hunt's Point. He was married, first, at West
Farms about 1713-14 to Sarah . She was born 1692; died at
West Farms, Aug. 30, 1744, and was buried at Hunt's Point.
Nothing is known of her maiden name nor her parentage.
William* Leggett married, second, at West Farms, April 13, 1745,
Abigail , born July 3, 1728; died at West Farms, Jan. 2, 1813,
and was probably buried at Hunt's Point. Nothing has been dis-
covered which would throw any light on her parentage.
Children 7 (Leggett), 3 sons and 4 daughters, all by the first
wife, Sarah . All were born, presumably, at West Farms.

The dates of birth, marriage, etc., of William1 Leggett and
his family are taken from his family Bible, the entries which are
mostly presumably in his own handwriting are beautifully writ-
ten, beginning: "William Leggett His Book or Bible — 1 7 15."
(The dates as given vary slightly from those in Bolton's History
of Westchester, but it is probable that the Bible records are the
most correct.)
On one of the first blank pages is the following entry: "Mem-
orandum: That there was a very hard winter in the year of 1740-
41. This great snow fell on the 16th of December, 1740, and con-
tinued on ye land until 25th of March. That Capt. William Leg-
gett and three other men walked over the ice to Long Island on
ye 8th of February said years. On the 9th the sd Capt. Leggett,
Capt. Lawrence and Alderman Gabriel Leggett went over to
Long Island with a slay and horses, and on the 13th day of said
February, the sd men went over to Long Island and brought over
thirty bushels of corn in two slays. On the 14th two slays went
over and came back again."
William1 Leggett is here called Captain. I have heard his
great-great-grandson say that he was a sea captain, although I
have no other evidence of it, and he tells of his covering the din-
ner table with Spanish dollars after one of his voyages. If this
be so he did not continue to follow the sea, for from 1730 to the
time of his death he was most of the time Alderman or Mayor of
the Borough town of Westchester.
This William Leggett was he, with his wife and children,
whose bones were removed from the old cemetery, as told in a
previous paper.
The will of William* Leggett, dated Dec. 8, 1762, proved May
21, 1763, mentions his wife Abigail; daughter Mary, wife of
Richard Lawrence of Staten Island; daughter Sarah Frasier,
widow; grandson William Frasier; granddaughters Sarah and
Mary Frasier; son Abraham; eldest son William; grandson Ab-
raham, son of deceased son John; grandson William, son of said
John, and granddaughters Frances and Susannah, daughters of
the said John.
As no mention is made in the will of the other daughters it is
probable that they were dead previous to 1762.
(As it is evident that the will of William1 Leggett could not
have been probated before his death, and the date of his death
was May 26, 1763, the date given in the probate record, May 21,
1763, must be a mistake.)

"Relics of family interest are less frequently found among the
representatives of ancient families on Cape Cod than might be ex-
pected; but we recollect having seen within a few years at the
house of Mr. Peter7 Thacher a cradle about 200 years old, which
was ingeniously made of oak by Col. John3 Thacher of Yarmouth,
the father of 21 children; and also a scarlet blanket in which the
infant Antony3 Thacher was wrapped when drowned in the wreck
on Thacher's Island in 1635, near Newburyport." {Freeman's
Cape Cod, Vol. II, p. 232.)
The cradle and blanket above referred to were left by will to

From the Savage Family, by Lawrence Park, Esq., (see N. E.
Hist. Gen. Reg., Vol. LXVII, p. 229), we obtain the following
sketch of the life of Samuel Phillips Savage7 Thacher :
"A severe attack of typhus fever rendered Mr. Thacher an
invalid from his 15th year until 181 7. During this time he devoted
himself, principally for amusement, to the study of the law, and in
1817 removed to Buxton, Maine, and opened a law office. Owing
to his inability to plead his clients' cases, his income from his law
practise was found insufficient for the needs of his family, and in
1832 he removed to Saco, Maine, where his mother was living and
became a commission merchant. In 1840 failing health obliged
him to seek a warmer climate and in October of that year he re-
moved with his family to Mobile, Ala., where he died.

I am indebted to Clarence Etienne Leonard, Registrar General of the
Society of Founders and Patriots (P. O. address, Caryl, Yonkers, N. Y.), for the
above correction to Record No. 200; who, in calling my attention to the error
states: — "I am aware the most genealogists have identified Benjamin Smith's
wife, Abigail Church, as the daughter of Edward and Martha Church; but this
is incorrect, as Abigail, daughter of Edward and Martha Church, was the wife of
George Wanton of Newport on Nov. 13th, 1727, and also on March 16th, 1749-50,
as per Bristol Deeds, 18, p. 85, and Newport Deeds, iii, p. 279. On the other
hand Bristol County Deeds, 28, p. 432, gives deed from Samuel4 Howland of
Bristol to son-in-law Benjamin Smith, cordwainer, on March 1st, 1740. On
May 15th, 1748, Samuel4 Howland died and his will was probated June nth,
1748; he left one-seventh part 'to my daughter Abigail Smith.' As he leaves
other seventh parts to his daughters Phebe, Mary and Mehitable Wardwell,
this conclusively identifies Abigail5(How)and-Church) Smith." "Abigail1 Smith
(daughter of Josiah6 and Eleanor ( ) Taylor Smith), born October 3rd, 1765;
died October 6, 1844; married September 4th, 1786, to Allen Wardwell, who
was born March 1st, 1765; died March 31st, 1840, and they had a son William
Taylor8 Wardwell, born January 16th, 1799; died September 29th, 1876; mar-

OUR SOCIETY'S BUILDING FUND.
By John R. Totten.
On March 26th, 1914, our Society reached the 45th mile-stone
in the journey of its life, — a long period in the life of man; only,
however, a short season in the life of a society such as ours, founded
as it is upon the recognized needs of a community. During this sea-
son of its infant existence it has proved itself possessed of a vitality
which promises well for a prolonged life ; and, nursed as it has been
through this critical period of its existence, it has now reached a
time of life when it can, under proper guidance, be expected to con-
tribute largely to its own support.
During this season of its infant existence, with congenital per-
tinacity, it has developed from an almost pauper child, guided by a
few foster parents (all of whom have passed to their reward), until
now it stands an orphan in its youth, but no longer dependent upon
charity for its existence. With a precocity all its own it has, in
advance of its maturity, shown itself to be, not only willing, but able
to support itself and also to enlist in its interest many friends (in
absence of its foster parents) who recognize and encourage its ambi-
tion and earnestness of purpose. Several times during its infant
progress it has become necessary to enlarge its nursery. Its first
home was at the residence of Dr. David Parsons Holton, in New
York City whence it moved later to the home of Dr. Holcombe at
No. 54 East 25th St., and subsequently to Mott Memorial Hall, at
No. 64 Madison Ave. ; whence it removed later to its first important
surroundings in the Berkeley Lyceum in West 44th St., between 5th
and 6th Avenues. Later, due to the generous gift of $20,000 made
to the yet infant society by the late Mrs. Elizabeth Underhill Coles,
its guardians at that time were enabled to secure for it by purchase
its present home at No. 226 West 58th St. Shortly after moving
into this home it was found necessary to build a fireproof addition
to the rear of this building, which was accomplished by the aid of
generous subscriptions for that purpose. In 1909 this fireproof
addition was found inadequate to accommodate the library of the
still infant society, and another full story was added thereto; the
cost of the said addition ($5,000) being defrayed partly by sub-
scription and partly by the growing society itself. At the completion
of this additional addition, the Society found itself without any debt
whatever and the full owner of its home with doubled library space.
It congratulated itself and imagined that it had ample accommoda-
tions for many years to come. This complacent condition of mind
continued until about 1912, when it was found that the Society's
library had so increased that steps looking to a future enlargement of
facilities were absolutely necessary.
1 62 Our Society's Building Fund. [April,
The present administration of the society then recognized that
its ward was no longer a child, and that they must bestir themselves
to secure for it a fund to establish it properly at its then approaching
maturity. To this end the Trustees initiated a campaign for a new
building and started a subscription fund for that purpose. In its
incipiency the primary idea of the Trustees was to acquire the prop-
erty adjoining our Society's home on the east, thus securing a lot
40 by 100 feet for future building purposes. This lot was then esti-
mated (in 1912) as being worth at a fair market valuation $65,000.
Therefore, the sum of $65,000 was set as the amount we must first
acquire. With this object in view work was commenced and by the
spring of 1913 there had been subscribed to this fund about $19,000;
$10,000 of this amount had been donated by the late J. Pierpont
Morgan, Esq., on the condition that the Society raised the other
necessary $55,000. Mr. Morgan's subscription was made on the very
eve of his departure for Europe on what was to be his last trip, and
where, to the great sorrow of all, death overtook him.
Thus matters stood until November of 1913, when our Society
was notified by the Executors of Mr. Morgan's estate that it would
be necessary for us to raise the necessary $55,000 on or before
December 31st, 1913; as, in their capacity of executors, it was
necessary for them to make final preparations for the settlement of
Mr. Morgan's affairs.
This decision, while anticipated, and the justice of which was
fully recognized by our Trustees, yet faced us at a time when the
generosity of the community had been largely taxed by the raising
of the $4,000,000 fund for the Young Men's and Women's Christian
Associations ; and also within one month of Christmas, a period of
large demand on the individual purses of all. A more unfortunate
time to solicit funds could not have been selected. The campaign
was vigorously pursued during the 31 days at our disposal; and on
the eve of New Year's, 1914, our President informed us that a total
of $65,160 had been subscribed and that we had therefore secured
Mr. Morgan's generous contribution.
The plan pursued was the sending out of circulars to all our
members and to others of philanthropic tendencies asking for con-
tributions. But it is easily understood that the mere mailing of a
circular letter setting forth the merits of even the most worthy
scheme does not of necessity produce satisfactory results. It is the
personal call of a champion of the cause who, with eloquent appeal,
unloosens the purse strings. To our President, Clarence Winthrop
Bowen, was assigned the duty of making these calls ; and the result
shows the wisdom of the Trustees' selection. To Mr. Bowen's per-
sonality and to his untiring zeal during this strenuous month, the suc-
cess of our campaign is entirely due; and to him in no measured
terms is the thanks of the Society gratefully extended. May he live
long to conduct our affairs which he has been so largely instru-
mental in advancing.
The foregoing explains the reason for starting the campaign
with a definite object of raising a specific amount of $65,000; which
I9'4-] Our Society's Building Fund. 1 63
was to place the Society in a position to secure the property adjoin-
ing us next door on the east; and, secondly, as matters progressed,
to enable us to secure Mr. Morgan's conditional gift of $10,000.
However, since the beginning (1912) of *our endeavors, it has
developed that it is inexpedient to secure the property next door to
add to our real estate holdings : First, because the owner has placed
a price of $100,000 upon the property (a price absurdly out of pro-
portion to its market value, as we would regard $70,000 a tempting
offer for our own property of exactly similar dimensions and char-
acter) ; secondly, because during the past two years on account of
recent building operations in our immediate vicinity the neighbor-
hood has become the heart of the automobile industry and the fire
risk has become such as to render the constructing of a building for
our purposes most undesirable in this neighborhood.
We find ourselves therefore in the following position at the pres-
ent time as regards building possibilities. The Society owns its own
building valued at $60,000 — conservative estimate; and has cash in
its building fund of $65,160, making a total possible assets for build-
ing at this time of $125,160.
At the present condition of the real estate market, we find that
a site such as the Trustees deem advisable (at least 50x100 feet),
in an accessible and desirable location, will cost about $70,000;
which would leave the Society after purchasing a site only $55,160
for building a new home.
This sum is entirely inadequate to construct a proper building
for a permanent home for our Society — which building, besides hous-
ing our own Society, must have sufficient rentable space to support
the building when completed. That is to say, it must produce a
revenue from rental of not less than $12,000 a year.
In view of the above statement of facts the Board of Trustees
have deemed it advisable to allow the Building Fund to remain at
interest for the time being in a trust company (The Central Trust
Company has been selected) until such time as the funds of the
Society will permit of a better financial handling of the building
proposition.
The attention of all members of the Society is called to the fact
that on March 26th, 1919, our youthful society will celebrate its 50th
anniversary, when it can be properly said to have reached its matur-
ity. This date is but five years in the future ; and it is the intention
of the Board of Trustees to at once institute a supplemental cam-
paign to raise an additional fund of $100,000 so that on the date of
our semi-centennial anniversary we may be established in our pro-
posed new home.
Such a plan, if successful, will, at the expiration of five years,
place the Society in the possession of assets, to buy land and build
with, equal to about $232,750 (including interest at 3 per cent on our
present building fund of $65,160).
With such a fund in hand the proposed building could be
financed without trouble.
I 64 Hutchinson Ancestry and Descendants of [April,
It is to be hoped that this frank statement may reach the eyes
of generous minded individuals and that we may reap over and
above the measure of our hopes.
In the erection of the building 1 which the present administra-
tion contemplate, it is their purpose to endeavor to rent all available
space not needed for the uses of our own society to other societies
of affiliated interests, so that the building will become the head-
quarters of genealogical endeavor in this community.
The gift by someone of a suitable site for our proposed build-
ing will materially advance the time of its erection.
HUTCHINSON ANCESTRY AND DESCENDANTS OF
WILLIAM AND ANNE HUTCHINSON.
By John Denison Champlin.

Arms: — Per pale gules and azure, a lion rampant, argent, between eight
crosses crosslet argent.
Crest: — Out of a ducal coronet, or, a cockatrice vert, combed gules.
Burke, General Armory.
This coat-of-arms, granted in 1581 to Edward Hutchinson of
Yorkshire, was borne by the Hon. Elisha Hutchinson (b. 1641),
Colonel of the First Regiment of Foot and Chief Justice of the
Court of Common Pleas for Suffolk County, Mass., and later by
his distinguished grandson, Thomas Hutchinson, the last Royal
Governor of Massachusetts. It is borne to-day by the family of
Hely-Hutchinson in Ireland, descendants of Richard Hutchinson,
brother of William Hutchinson, of which the Earl of Donough-
more is the chief representative.
The genealogy of the Hutchinson family, as traced by Col.
Joseph Lemuel Chester (Nezv Eng. Gen. Reg., xx, 355), begins
with the opening of the sixteenth century when Hutchinson
appears in the records of the city of Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Colonel Chester takes pains to assure the reader that "there is
not the slightest authority for connecting him with the heraldic
family of Yorkshire, either with the one settled at Wykeham
Abbey in that county or that in Nottinghamshire from which
descended the famous Colonel John Hutchinson," and that "he
was evidently of a very humble rank in life." But, as he then
proceeds to show that the children of this very humble Hutchin-
son were all of good estate, that the eldest son was a clergyman
and two other sons were of civic prominence, both having served
as Alderman, Sheriff, and Mayor of Lincoln, one is led to wonder
on what he founded such an opinion. We can understand his
"very humble rank in life" only by the supposition that he means
by comparison with the more brilliant descent of his gifted wife.
'9'4-] William and Anne Hutchinson. \ 6 c
Again, though Colonel Chester may have been technically
correct in his assertion that this branch of the Hutchinsons was
not a heraldic family, it is certain that the early descendants in
New England bore the arms given above and that the same coat
is borne to-day by their descendants in England, undoubtedly with
the sanction of the College of Arms. It is said, too, that the
family of Governor Hutchinson possessed an old painting of this
blazon on vellum, adjudged by the authorities of the college to
date from the reign of Elizabeth.
Whatever may have been Colonel Chester's reason for de-
preciating the social status of the Hutchinsons of Lincoln, we are
indebted to him for the discovery of the link connecting them
with the family of William Hutchinson of Alford, in which we
are chiefly interested, and with this acknowledgment we will now
give the line of descent, as proved by him:

155S and 156 1 he was Justice of the Peace. He was chosen
Mayor again in September, 1564, and held the office until his de-
cease, May 24, 1565. He was buried in the church of St. Mary le
Wigford, Lincoln. His will, of April 21, was proved June 14,

name appears in the roll of freeman at Newport in
1641, but he seems to have retained his connection
with Boston, for all his children were baptized there
from 1637 to 1658. He probably»returned there after

William and Anne Hutchinson came to New England in the
ship Griffin, landing at Boston, Sept. 18, 1634. The family con-
sisted of -his widowed mother, Mrs. Susanna Hutchinson; a
younger sister of Mrs. Anne Hutchinson, Catherine Marbury,
about twenty-four years old, and William and Anne's ten chil-
dren. William was made free with his sons Richard and Francis,
March 4, 1635, and he was a Representative in the General Court
in May, 1635. In consequence of the Antinomian controversy,
which resulted in the banishment of Mrs. Hutchinson, he re-
moved with most of his family in 1638 to Rhode Island. At first
treasurer of the new colony, he succeeded Coddington as Judge
(Governor) on the formation in 1639 of the Newport Colony. In
1640, on the union of the two towns, when Coddington was elected
Governor, William Hutchinson was chosen one of the Assistants.
He died in Newport in 1642, and his widow removed soon after,
with part of her family, to Eastchester, New York, where she
met her fate the following summer in an Indian insurrection.
So many errors have crept into circulation in regard to the
place and details of Mrs. Hutchinson's death that a brief account
seems necessary. The Cyclopcedia of American Biography and
the International Cyclopaedia makes the site of her house "near
Stamford," and Woodrow Wilson's History of the American People
calls it "a place on Long Island." Richman, the latest historian
of Rhode Island, correctly follows Brodhead in his identification
of the true site, but accepts the common error that "she and all
her family save one daughter (sixteen persons) were murdered."
19' 4-] William and Anne Hutchinson. l6g
In regard to this daughter, too, who became Mrs. John Cole, he
says: " She was the ancestress of Thomas Hutchinson, the last
Royal Governor of Massachusetts." One is tempted to ask, on
reading this, why was not Gov. Hutchinson's name Cole?
The Memorial History of Boston is alike inexact in describing
Mrs. Hutchinson as "falling with all her family save one child in
an Indian massacre." Brodhead too kills "all her family save
one" and carelessly calls that one a "granddaughter," while the
English Dictionary of National Biography makes the sole survivor
a "son." Charles Francis Adams, usually exact, gives a more
precise account in his Antinomianism, but, oddly enough, makes
the date of the massacre "1642."
Other instances might be cited, but these are enough to show
the general inexactness of many of our well known authorities
on a subject easy of investigation. The truth is that only five of
the ten children who -accompanied Mrs. Hutchinson to New
England perished with her and that she left numerous descen-
dants besides the children of Susanna Cole.
The site of Mrs. Hutchinson's house and the scene of her
murder is in what is now Pelham Bay Park, within the limits of
New York City, less than a dozen miles from the City Hall.
Not far from it, beside the road, is a large glacial bowlder,
popularly called Split Rock from its division into two parts,
probably by the action of frost aided by the growth of a large
tree, the stump of which separates the parts. The line of vision
of one looking through the split towards Hutchinson River at
the foot of the hill will very nearly cross the site of the house.
In 191 1 a bronze tablet* to the memory of Mrs. Hutchinson
was placed on Spjit Rock by the Society of Colonial Dames of the
State of New York, who recognized that the resting place of this
most noted woman of her time was well worthy of such a
memorial. The tablet bears the following inscription:

SOME DESCENDANTS OF ARTHUR SCOVIL OF BOSTON
AND CONNECTICUT.
\
By Charles R. Eastman, U. S. National Museum, Washington, D. C.
A partial account of the early history of the Scovil family in
Connecticut, limited to the descendants of Arthur1 Scovil, of Bos-
ton, Middletown and Lyme, one of the two original Scovil col-
onists of New England, has already been published in pamphlet
form.* The present article continues the genealogy in certain
lines, the data for which has recently been collected from various
sources. Some errors and omissions in the earlier brochures are
herein corrected.
Arthur1 Scovil and wife Joanna are supposed to have emi-
grated from England, probably Dorsetshire, about 1660, and set-
tled at Boston, afterwards removing to Middletown, Conn. Bos-
ton Town Records give the dates of birth of five of their chil-
dren, two of whom were sons, Arthur2 and James.2 Two other
sons were born in Connecticut Colony, John2 about 1672, and
Stephen2 at some time during the interval 1680-84.
2. Arthur2 Scovil (Arthur1), b. Jan. 24, 1663-4, at Boston, d.
June 24, 1694, at Lyme, Conn.; he m. Sept. 17, 1690, Rachel ;
family name not found. Children born at Lyme:
6 i. Arthur, b. Jan. 3, 1691-2; m. Elizabeth .
ii. James, b. Jan. 9, 1693-4; d. Feb. 16, 1693-4.
3. James2 Scovil (Arthur1), b. at Boston, Mass., June 13, 1670,
d. at Middletown Upper Houses, now Cromwell, Conn., Dec. 14,
1711; he m. Hannah , who was living in Jan., 1723. He was
a farmer and received lands from his father along the banks of the
Connecticut River. Children b. at Cromwell:
i. Sarah, b. Aug. 10, 1698, d. Sept. 6, 1750; m. in 1736,
Henry Stanton.
7 ii. James, b. March 25, 1700; m. Rebecca .
iii. Mercy, b. May 29, 1702.
iv. Hannah, b. March 19, 1704; m. April 19, 1736, Joseph

vi. Martha, b. June 5, 1709.
vii. Elizabeth, b. June 22, 171 1.
4. John2 Scovil (Arthur1), b. probably at Cromwell about 1672,
d. there Dec. 12, 1712; he m. Feb. 9, 1697-8, Mary, daughter of
William and Hester (Clark) Lucas. She was b. Dec. 5, 1672, and
d. May 23, 1753, after having m. secondly one Crawford, and
thirdly Deacon Nathaniel Burt, the latter in 1740. Children b. at

daughter of Thomas and Hannah (Brockway) Champion of Lyme.
She was born at Lyme, March 8, 1687-8, and survived her hus-

to have been erroneously named or misread in the

to read "a daughter," b. Oct. 10, 1748. Her name
was Sybil, and in 1786 she was the wife of one Bris-
trol. (See Scoville Family Records, part iii, for Ez-

AMERICAN EPITAPHS.
Contributed by Hopper Striker Mott.
The Rev. Timothy Alden issued in this city in 1814 five small
volumes under the title of Collectio?is of American Epitaphs and
Inscriptions with Occasional Notes. These books, which are in
the library of the New York Historical Society, contain such im-
portant information of early date that it has been suggested that
a transcript giving some of the data be presented to the readers
of the Record. A selection has accordingly been made from
Vols. I, IV and V of all New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
items, Vols. II and III being devoted largely to other parts of
New England and to Pennsylvania. Many sketches of the lives
of individuals mentioned are included, and these are worthy of
examination.

CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS TO PUBLISHED
GENEALOGICAL WORKS.
Every gleaner in the field of genealogical research has met with errors in
printed volumes which, left by themselves, carry mistaken conclusions to the
end of time. This department has been inaugurated in an endeavor to correct
such spurious data. Readers are requested to forward for publication here
every such error, and such further additions to printed genealogies as are
found, that due correction may be made. The authority for the statement
must be furnished, with name and address of contributor.
4. Churchill-Crosby — Addition.
Churchill Genealogy, p. 42; list of the children of Jonathan and
Mary (Churchill) Crosby, should include Ezra, named for his
grandfather Churchill. This information is given by his daughter
who knew three of her great-grandmothers and two of her great-
grandfathers, norman w. hall, San Francisco, Cal.
5. Cilley— Correction.
In Carter's History of Pembroke, New Hampshire, under the
head of the Cilley Family, the error is made of making Horatio
Gates Cilley the father of Daniel Cilley, whereas Horatio Gates
Cilley and Daniel Cilley were brothers, both being children of
Gen. Joseph Cilley and Sarah Longfellow, his wife; Daniel Cilley
being the sixth child of Joseph, and Horatio Gates Cilley (born
Dec. 23, 1777), the tenth and youngest son of Gen. Joseph Cilley.

8. Moulton — Correction. .
The History of Hampton, vol. ii, p. 874, and Moulton Annals,
p. 222, give to Josiah Moulton and his wife (Dorothy) Shackford
(of Portsmouth, N. IT.) no son John. In the settlement of the
estate of her father John Shackford, John Moulton signs a deed
at the head of the Moulton heirs, May 6, 1802. He is described as
clothier of Winslow, Mass. The brothers Jonathan and Josiah sign
as clothiers of Somersworth, N. H. (Rockingham Deeds, 163-86.)
IOO Special Notice. [April,
The above also assign to John Moulton, brother of Gen. Jona-
than, two sons, John Salter, bap. Aug. 9, 1772, and John Schack-
ford, bap. Feb. 14, 1773. According to the History of Carroll
County \ p. 404, John S. Moulton was born July 3, 1772, at Moulton-
boro, and died Dec. I, 1821. The Moulton Annals further assert,
that the second John S. was born in Moultonboro. It is some-
what doubtful if John, Sr., had a younger son ready for baptism
seven months after the birth of the first John S. Though the
baptism of Abigail, daughter of Josiah, is in the same year, 1773,
as the second John S., I am inclined to think he was the son
of Josiah.
As to John Moulton's wives, one was Dorothy Brown, daughter
of Capt. Edward and Dorothy (Pike) Brown, b. Nov. 8, 1733, and
d. June 2, 1770 {Genealogical Data Concerning the Family of Capt.
Edward Brotvn). The other, as indicated in the last Record
was Mehitable Salter, daughter of Richard Salter, and widow of
Israel Tibbits. There were two children, by the latter marriage,
John and Nabby. John Salter, Mariner, p. 45.
A genealogist somewhat associated with Mr. Dow in the
preparation of the History of Hampton informs me that the county
records were not systematically searched. Persons interested in
the Moulton and some other Hampton families can doubtless
find much additional information by referring to State and County
records. s. b. shackford, 53 State St., Boston.
9. Tobey-Babbitt-Barber— Correction.
Tobey Genealogy, p. 92. Jesse Tobey served in the Revolution
as Quartermaster-Sergeant {Connecticut Rev. Records). The name
of his daughter was Mandana, not Amanda as stated. She m.
— — Babbitt, and her sister Anna m. Barber, as shown by
the probate records of Columbia County, N. Y.; settlement of the
estate of Benjamin Tobey, among whose heirs were Mandana
Babbitt and Anna Barber.

Generation No. 1. The marriage license of George1 Giddings and Jane Lawrence is recorded in the
"Administration Act Books" of the Archdeaconry of St. Albans, preserved at Somerset House, and is
printed by Brigg, Herts Genealogist and Antiquary , volume I, page 176. It reads:
"1634, February 20. George Giddinsjs of Clapham, co. Bedford, yeoman, bachelor, and Jane
Lawrence of St. Albans, maiden; at St. Albans or St. Peters. John Tuttell of St. Albans, draper,

The name Giddings, Gidding, Geddings, Gedding (Saxon Giddingas), is one of the oldest surnames in
England. Kemble {Saxons in England, volume I, page 46s; ) includes it in his list of Saxon Clan names.
The manor of Geddinge in the parish of Wooton, Kent, which survives with unchanged name as a hamlet,
was given in 800 by Cenulf, King of Mercia, with his wife Cengittia to Archbishop Attrelard. A part of
this estate is still the property of Christ Church, Canterbury. Another part, granted by the prior and
Convent to be held by suit and knight's service was in the 12th of King John in the possession of Robert
de Geddinges, whose arms were:
Parted per chevron argent and sable, three griffins' heads erased countercharged.

It is with great regret and sorrow that we are called
on to announce the death of Gen. James Grant Wilson,
a man of national renown as a soldier and literateur, who
not only served his adopted country well but aided his city
in more ways than this brief tribute can be expected to cite.
For fifteen years he was honored with the presidency of
this Society, and acted as a trustee for over twenty-one years.
He was also at one time editor of the Record.

19 14] Queries. 1 97
The President then introduced Mr. Josiah Collins Pumpelly.who presented
the following Resolution on the death of Gen. James Grant Wilson, U. C. L.:
Resolved, That in the death of General James Grant Wilson,
D. C. L., which occurred on February ist, this Society would here ex-
press its sorrow and its grateful appreciation of valued services of a
President who filled this office for fifteen years and acted as Trustee
up to the time of his decease, altogether a period of twenty-one years.
Our late associate had a varied and interesting experience as a
soldier, journalist, author of many books, and the editor of valuable
historic and biographical data.
To this Society as its President he brought a rare talent as a pre-
siding officer ana in recounting in a happy and witty way incidents of
his many friendships with distinguished soldiers, authors and poets,
as well as numerous historic incidents, many of them having a direct
connection with present day affairs. He was also the means of often
bringing men of note as writers and statesmen to speak at our meetings.
General Wilson had been in the public eye for more than half a
century, having been prominently identified with many movements of
a patriotic, historic, philanthropic and civic character, and his last ap-
pearance in public was as presiding officer at the unveiling of the
beautiful Maine monument at 8th Avenue and Central Park.
We mourn the loss of this loyal member of the Society, enthusias-
tic patriot and chivalrous friend, and it is ordered that this Resolution
be spread upon our minutes and a copy of the same sent with expres-
sions of sympathy to his widow.
Which was duly seconded and unanimously adopted by a rising vote.
Mr. Bowen then introduced Mr. Charles Henry Hart, the lecturer of the
evening, who addressed the Society on "Frauds in Historical Portraiture; or,
Spurious Portraiture of Historical Personages."
At the close of the lecture Hon. Asa Bird Gardiner moved a vote of thanks
to the distinguished lecturer, and that a copy be requested for the archives of
the Society. Mr. Hart spoke of amusing mistakes being made in portraiture.
Motion seconded by Mr. Henry Parsons, and remarks by Mr. Pumpelly. The
President expressed the thanks of the Society to Mr. Hart.
The meeting then, on motion, adjourned.
, Henry Russell Drowne, Secretary.

BOOK REVIE WS.
By John R. Totten.
Editorial Note:— The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society solicits as
donations to its Library all newly published works on Genealogy, History and Biography, as well
as all works on Town, County and State History, or works embodying information regarding the
Vital Records of any and all localities. It also solicits the donation to the manuscript collections
of its library any and ail manuscript compilations which bear upon the above mentioned topics.
In consideration of such donations the works so presented to the Society will be at once
placed upon the shelves of its library and will be reviewed in the next subsequent issue of The
New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, each donation of such character,
whether in printed or manuscript form, will be reviewed under the head of " Book Notices " and
a copy of The Record containing the review will be sent to the donor.
The Society does not solicit donations of publications or manuscripts on topics foreign to
the above mentioned subjects, as its library is specialized and cannot accommodate material
which does not bear directly upon its recognized sphere of usefulness.
Donations for review in the January issue of The Record should be delivered to the
Society before December 1st of the previous year; for the April issue, before March 1st; for the
July issue before June istj and for the October issue, before September 1st.
All donations will be generously reviewed witli a view of calling the attention of the public
to their good points; but, while generous, the reviews will contain such proper criticism as the
interest of the genealogical student would expect from the editorial staff of The Record.
The "Book Notices" of The Record are carefully read by all librarians as well as
genealogical students, and the review of a work in The Record is equivalent to a special
advertisement of such work.
Letters of transmittal of donations of such works should embody the price of the work
donated and the name and address of the person from whom it can be purchased.

The Salisbury Association is a body of some 477 members, some 262 of
whom are residents of the town and 215 dwelling in 22 other states of the
Union, but with interest centered in tne old Connecticut town. This volume
is the result of the Association's endeavors in one of many directions, and if
all others are equally praiseworthy the organization is one whose example
other towns of Connecticut would do well to emulate. It contains the
Vital Records of the town to about 1770, the gravestone records of four local
cemeteries and five other small graveyards ; and a brief military history of
the town. Recommended emphatically to all genealogical and historical
libraries.

Series I of the Vital Records of Connecticut published by the Society of
Colonial Wars in the State of Connecticut. 8vo, buckram, pp. 573 to 1180,
inclusive and containing a full name and place index to Parts I and II. Price
for the two volumes $12.50.
We had the pleasure of calling the attention of the public to the value of
this work in our review of Part I which appears in the April, 1913 Record.
The issuing of this Part II completes this most valuable work and the index
which is most complete renders the vast amount of material now easily avail-
able. No genealogical library will be complete without this work. We venture
to suggest that the excellent work of the Society be next supplemented by a
similar publication of the Vital Records of New London, Conn., one of the
oldest and most important towns in the State. Why do not some of the
Patriotic Societies of New York emulate the example of the Society of
Colonial Wars in Connecticut and publish memorial volumes of New York
records?

Shenandoah County, Virginia; the names of Virginia field officers in the
Revolution; a list of Bowmans, Spencers and Morgans who were officers in

A History of Pendleton County, W. Va., by Oren F. Morton. 8vo,
cloth, pp. 493, illustrated. Price $3.50. Address Ruebush-Elkins Co., Dayton,
Va.
This volume is, from a historical standpoint, replete with information
regarding the origin and growth of civilization in this section of West Vir-
ginia. It contains also much statistical matter of the greatest value ; but to
us the wealth of genealogical information it contains is sufficient to assure
it a hearty welcome. From page 143 to page 337 inclusive, the subject matter
is purely genealogical and will prove itself a mine of wealth to genealogical
searchers in this particular field. Recommended heartily to all genealogical
and historical libraries.
Year Book, 1913, of The Kentucky Society Sons of The Revolution
and Catalogue of Virginia Military Land Warrants granted to Soldiers and
Sailors of the Revolution, compiled by Samuel M. Wilson from Records in the
State Land Office of Kentucky. 8vo, cloth, pp. 363, illustrated. Price $5.00.
Address Samuel M. Wilson, Security and Trust Building, Lexington, Ky.
This is one of the best Sons of the Revolution year books we have seen
for some time. Aside from the interesting records of its active and deceased
members, the section devoted to abstracts of Virginia land grants is sufficient
200 Book Reviews. [April,
to render it a valuable book of reference in genealogical libraries and for
Patriotic Societies. It is recommended to all Historical, Genealogical Libra-
ries and to Registrars of Revolutionary Societies as a book of reference.
Richmond, Her Past and Present, by W. Asbury Christian, D. D. 8vo,
cloth, pp. 618, including a good 42 page name index and 13 illustrations. Copy-
righted 1912. Price not stated. Address author, No. 1009 West Grace Street,
Richmond, Va.
This is a most welcome addition to our library as it is the first history of
this capital of the South that we have secured. The work is atv excellent
chronicle of the events in the history of Richmond and besides the narrative
portions of the volume it is enriched with Rosters of the various Regiments
and Companies which were Richmond's contribution to the War of the
Rebellion. Dr. Christian is to be highly congratulated on the successful com-
pletion of this valuable work which is heartily recommended to all historical,
genealogical and general reference libraries.
Historical Notes of St. James Parish, Hyde Park-on-Hudson, New
York. Edited (and apparently compiled) by the Rev. Edward Pearson, New-
ton, Rector of the Parish. 8vo, cloth, pp. 88, and numerous illustrations in the
shape of portraits of parishioners, views of church, etc. Price $1.00 (postage
12 cents). Address Rector of the Parish, Hyde Park-on-Hudson, N. Y.
A most valuable and interesting history of this parish and -as such is to
be recommended to all historical libraries. Within its normal historical scope
it embraces much genealogical information embodied in the biographical
sketches of members of the parish (past and present) also in the reproduc-
tion of memorial tablets to individual parishioners. The appendix also con-
tains genealogical information. It is therefore heartily recommended to all
genealogical libraries. Now that the historical record of this parish is an
accomplished fact, the good work thus well begun would be suitably con-
cluded, if a second volume should be issued recording the vital facts of the
parish (births, baptisms, confirmations, marriages, deaths and burials). This
parish has embraced within its limits so many of the honored names in New
York that the publication of its vital records would be genealogically most
valuable.

trated with portraits and other reproductions of family historic interest.
Price $10.00. Address George A. Bicknell, 13 So. William Street, New York
City.
This is an exhaustive genealogical record of the Bicknell Family in
America and has all of the indications of painstaking and accurate compila-
tion ; the book is presented to the public in a most attractive form, paper
being excellent, press work beyond criticism, type being bold and of easily
read character. The compiler is to be congratulated upon the finished pro-
duction which should find its place on the shelves of all libraries maintaining a
genealogical section.

lected and to present it to members of the family in convenient form. It con-
tains chapters on the following subjects, viz.: Harrison of Greystock, Eng-

London; Osborne of Kent and London; Hewett of Yorkshire and London;

shire and De Rushall of Staffordshire.
This work was evidently a labor of love and likewise the fruit of a most
praiseworthy ambition to perpetuate the valuable information contained
therein for the benefit of posterity. In both endeavors the author has ac-
complished most enviable results. The subject matter is beyond question, and
it is presented to the public in an artistic form that defies criticism. It is a
source of regret that the edition was so limited, for the reason that all first
class libraries of the country cannot be sure of securing a copy. We con-
gratulate ourselves that we are among the lucky few.

GENERAL JAMES GRANT WILSON.*
By Josiah Collins Pumpelly.
On February 1st of this year, there passed away at the age of
81 at St. Luke's Hospital^ in New York, General James Grant
Wilson, a man of genuine sympathy and acknowledged learning,
whose death was greatly regretted by this Society and his
numerous friends. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, April 28, 1832,
he was the son of William W. and Jane Sibald Wilson.
His father was a poet and publisher and with his wife and
child emigrated from Scotland to Poughkeepsie, N. Y., where he
was a book-seller and publisher for many years.
Young Wilson was educated at College Hill, Poughkeepsie,
N. Y., and by private tutors. After completing his studies he
travelled in Europe with ex-President Fillmore, and later, for a
time, was associated with his father in business in Poughkeepsie.
In 1857 he moved to Chicago and established and became editor
and proprietor of the Chicago Record, the first literary journal of
the Northwest.
In- 1862 he raised a battalion, of which he was commissioned
major, that formed a part of the Fifteenth Illinois Cavalry, com-
manded by Col. Warren Stewart, and which saw much active
service in the Mississippi valley. By the death of Stewart, Major
Wilson became commander of the regiment, taking part in many
* The portrait of General James Grant Wilson, a former president of the
New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, was painted three years ago
by the well-known artist, George Rufus Boynton, and through the generosity of
a few friends of General Wilson, was presented to the Society at its meeting
on April 10th. The subscribers included: Henry Clews, John G. Hilliard,
Lloyd Phoenix, William C. Fargo, John M. Gardner, Alfred B. Merriam,
Abraham Hatfield, Jr., and Frederick K. Gaston. The portrait is a %" length
and is painted by the same artist, Mr. Boynton, who painted portraits of Gen.
Frederick D. Grant, Gen. Stewart L. Woodford and Gen. Alexander S. Webb.
The portrait of Admiral Coghlan which Mr. Boynton also painted was recently
acquired by the Union League Club. It is hoped that when the Society gets
into its new building, it will have a gallery for portraits of distinguished New
Yorkers. The existence of the Gen. Wilson portrait was not known to the
members of the Society until a few weeks before our April meeting.

engagements and constantly skirmishing with the Confederates.
He was active in the Vicksburg campaign, frequently scouting in
the direction of the enemy, with a view to sending in early in-
telligence of the expected advance of Johnston to break up the
siege.
In August, 1863, he accompanied Gen. Grant to New Orleans,
and there accepted, by his advice, the colonelcy of the Fourth
Regiment, United States Colored Cavalry, and was. assigned to
duty as aide-de-camp to the commanding general of the Depart-
ment of the Gulf, with whom he remained until April, 1865, taking
part in the Teche, Texas, and Red River campaigns.
His duties also included those of military agent in Louisiana
for the State of New York.
Gen. Wilson when employed in the Red River campaign was
instrumental in furthering the building of the great Red River
Dam, an affair which he himself deemed the most memorable in
his career as a soldier.
Admiral Porter, in his report to the Secretary of the Navy, said:
"This is, without^doubt, the best engineering feat ever per-
formed. Under the best circumstances, a private company would
not have completed it under a year, and to an ordinary mingl the
the whole thing would have appeared an utter impossibility."
When Gen. Banks was relieved, Col. Wilson was brevetted
brigadier-general, March 13, 1865, and sent to Port Hudson, where,
for a time he was in command. In July of the same year he
resigned, declining the offer of a commission in the regular army,
and returned to New York City, where he continued to reside
pursuing a literary career, with the exception of several years
spent with his family in foreign travel. In 1869 he married Jane
Emily Searle Cogswell of New Brunswick, N. J., who died in 1904.
His second wife, Mrs. Mary H. Nicholson, widow of Admiral
J. W. A. Nicholson, he married in 1907.
In 1879 the General was appointed by the President a member
of the Board of Visitors to the United States Naval Academy,
and the next year he was a visitor to the Military Academy at
West Point, delivering the address to the cadets and preparing the
reports of both boards.
He was President of the New York Genealogical and Bio-
graphical Society from 1886 to 1900; editor of the Society's
Record in 1886, and Trustee from 1887 to the time of his death,
thus serving the Society for a total of twenty-one years.
As Vice-President of the Association for the Reform and
Codification of the Law of Nations, a member of the Executive
Committee of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, and the President of the Association for American
Authors, 1893-9, his interest never flagged. He was a member of
the New York Historical and Geographical Societies, President of
the American Ethnological Society since 1900, and one of the
trustees of the Protestant Episcopal Church Eund of one million
dollars. He was also an honorary member of many American and
igi4.] General James Grant Wilson. 20J
foreign historical associations, and of the Hudson-Fulton Com-
mission. The degrees of D. C. L. from St. Stephen's College in
1894, and of L. H. D. from Hobart in 1895, were conferred upon
him.
Gen. Wilson was instrumental in raising an obelisk over the
grave of Fitz-Greene Halleck, and a statue to Columbus in New
York City. For the latter he was knighted by the Queen Regent
of Spain. He published numerous addresses, including those on
Millard Fillmore, Bishop Provost, "The Authors of New York,"
and one on his /wife's ancestor, Col. John Bayard, and he con-
tributed upwards of a hundred historical and biographical articles
to Harper s and other magazines.
General Wilson was a prolific and interesting writer. A mere
list of the works of which he was either the author or editor would
occupy more space than is at my command.
Gen. Wilson was Chairman of the Maine Monument Committee
and his last appearance in public was at the unveiling of that
splendid monument at the entrance of the Central Park and 8th
Avenue.
His home at 143 West 79th Street, is full of mementoes and
relics belonging to both himself and Mrs. Wilson, and the time
allotted for a call was always all too short to hear all that one
wished to about the pictures on the walls of distinguished views
and places. The different articles of historic interest connected
with his career his first wife kept carefully in glass cases.
Gen. Wilson was especially fond of a certain wonderful ring he
wore containing a lock of hair from the heads of Washington,
Lincoln, Hamilton, Wellington, Napoleon and Gen. Grant, which
he told me his relic-admiring lady friends had often kissed very
reverently.
He possessed and often wore a pair of gold cuff links which
as he told me George Washington gave to Benedict Arnold for
gallantry at the Battle of Saratoga, in which Arnold lost his own
links. Later, when Arnold came to hate Washington, he passed
the links on to Col. Tarleton, who gave them to Fitz-Greene
Halleck, who in turn presented them to his biographer, James
Grant Wilson.
Another treasure was a copy of "The Sketch Book" inscribed
"To James Grant Wilson, Esq., from Washington Irving, Sunny-
side, September 18, 1857." Still another was a photograph of
Lincoln taken by Brady, the famous wartime photographer, ten
days before the assassination. In autographing it the President
signed his full name instead of "A. Lincoln " — an unusual oc-
currence.
It was on the doorsteps of the General's house that his friend
Bryant, on coming from the unveiling of the bust of Mazzini, fell
in a faint, to pass away a few days thereafter. General Wilson
had but one child, a daughter and by his first wife. She married
Frank Sylvester Henry and is now a widow. She is a lady of. an
attractive personality and like her father is a pleasing and well
versed conversationalist.
2o8 General James Grant Wilson. [July
Mr. Clarence W. Bowen, the President of the New York
Genealogical and Biographical Society, writes me as to General
Wilson as follows:
"General James Grant Wilson had a grefit love not only for the history of
the United States but for history in general; and also the lives of celebrated
men interested him, and he delighted to speak of the characteristics of each
of all the distinguished men he had himself known personally.
When but a boy he met Henry Clay, and as a young man he went to
Europe with Millard Fillmore, at the time an ex-president of the United States,
and introduced by him, young Wilson had the opportunity of meeting there
many people of distinction. j
He visited George Washington Parke Custis, tile grandson of Martha
Washington, at Arlington, Va., wiio told him interesting incidents in the life of
George and Martha Washington. Also in the city of Washington he met and
conversed with Mrs. Hamilton, the aged widow of Alexander Hamilton.
Thus it was that any one having occasion to talk intimately with General
Wilson would feel that he was being carried back to the very beginnings of our
national life. And this was my own experience when I met him alone, as I
did frequently, at my father's house in the country, or at my own residence in
New York.
While he wrote many articles and books of biography and history, his most
notable production was his history of the City of New York.
The money to pay for the statue of Christopher Columbus was raised by
General Wilson anti he was also prominent officially in the Hudson-Fulton
Celebration. In fact, for more than a generation he served frequently on Com-
mittees which not only commemorated historic events but were striving to
improve the conditions of the political and Social life of the City of Ne,w York.
I visited General Wilson several times during his last illness at St. Luke's
Hospital and he then expressed great interest in the affairs of the Genealogical
and Biographical Society of which he was the honored president so many years.
Two of General Wilson's prominent characteristics were his courtesy of manner
and his kindness of heart. He was a thorough gentleman.
In his death New York has lost a public spirited citizen.
When Gen. Wilson was president of the American Authors' Guild he in-
vited me to become a member and the night of my election I recall my feeling
of modest hesitancy when I found myself elected in company with such de-
lightful and well beloved authors as Donald G. Mitchell (Ike Marvel), whose
books were among the library treasures of my youth, Henry S. Stoddard, Susan
Hays Ward and Kate Douglas Wiggin. And this feeling was foremost in the
Ethnological Society where my old friend Henry R. Drowne as well as Alex-
ander J. Cotheal and Gen. Wilson were so deservedly prominent.
In these societies and the Genealogical Society one could always find a com-
panionship and literary enjoyment which could not be found anywhere else."
Rossiter Johnson, one of the General's staunch literary co-
workers, writes me thus:
"I was associated with Gen. Wilson nearly three years in the preparation
of the six volumes of the Cyclopaedia of American Biography of which I was
the managing editor. Our relations were always pleasant and with his co-
operation I was able to make the staff work harmoniously and the task move
steadily on to completion which it reached somewhat earlier than the date
anticipated. Gen. Wilson was a careful editor and an accurate writer."
It gives me much satisfaction to include the following letter
from an esteemed friend of both Gen. Wilson and myself:
My dear Sir: —
It is with deep regret that I learn of the death of General James Grant
Wilson, as his death is a loss to the country, to the community and to his
friends.
He was indeed a most accomplished gentleman and a man of high literary
attainments, intensely patriotic, and left behind him a splendid record which
I9,4.] General James Grant Wilson. 20Q
was inspiring to his associates and all those who were fortunate enough to know
him and will be an example for others to follow. ... ...
Such men area treasure to their country and a benefit to the age in wh.ch
they live. I remain,
Very truly yours, \
(Signed) Nelson A. Miles,
March II. 1914. Lieut-General U. S. Army.
As president for years of the New York Genealogical and
Biographical Society General Wilson's facilities as a presiding
officer and ease of address as well as acquaintance with well known
publicists, historians and travellers enabled him to obtair/ for our
monthly meetings able and interesting speakers and he himself
always introduced them in a way which assured them an apprecia-
tive hearing. And in case of the unexpected absence of a promised
speaker the General was always ready to fill the gap with some of
his personal experiences. At these meetings and at the social
entertainments thereafter in the library, Mrs. Wilson was her
husband's loyal and admiring aid, always in that spirit of kindli-
ness that had been so characteristic of her as I knew her when
I was a Sophomore at Rutgers College in her native town.
The General was interested in many things but only slightly in
politics. His usual reply to inquiries was "I always kept out of
politics, but I always vote and haven't missed casting my f ballot
for president since I voted the first time and for Lincoln. But /
he had as our esteemed president of Columbia describes it, " an
international mind, being always interested in matters pertaining
to our relations with all foreign governments." This world
patriotic spirit helped him wherever he was travelling in other
countries to put himself in cordial relations to their rulers and
diplomatic officials. . . ..,..,, ,
? A handsome three-quarter length portrait in oil of the General
was presented to this Society by President Bowen which now
hangs in the Trustees' Room and was painted by George R. Boyn-
ton a well known and successful artist and personal friend of the
General, who has sent me the following interesting statement:
"The pleasant suggestion has been made that I recall such part of the
personality of our beloved and lamented fellow member, General James Grant
Wilson as came under my observation while he was sitting to me for his
portrait; and I am happy, indeed to contribute however slight y, any remi-
niscence which may add to the general knowledge of his singularly rare and
beautiful character. A life so rich in experiences endowed him with a genial
philosophy, a tolerant apprehension of life and a vast fund of anecdote all
highly desirable in a gentleman constrained to sit for a portrait.
The painter must seize, out of many the most characteristic pose and ex-
pression of his subject; and these he suggests and develops by divers devices.
General Wilson, by intent and unconsciously, greatly assisted in my present-
ment of him, and while I have suggested his lofty intellectuality, the urbanity
and polish of his manner, the gracious dignity of his carnage and address, 1
should still have failed to show the whole man were kindly humor and a
generous warm blooded temperament unillumined on the canvas. Never,
surely, had portrait painter a more grateful and engaging subject.
Having arranged for the first sitting, the discussion turned upon which ot
the General's characters-for he was a man who, in his time played many parts-
would best be perpetuated for posterity. We decided that the civilian of his
present the man of letters and of the world, in evening dress, represented as sit-
I3A

ting at his library table, penning a note, perhaps, before rising to dine out (this
to permit the richness and volume of a fur-lined overcoat) would best represent
the General as a contemporary as well as afford scope for values to the painter.
During the six sittings necessary to complete the portrait the General
never was restless, or impatient or distraught; — as often happens with men of
active brain and wide interests. He preserved his easy, graceful pose, natural,
in truth, to one who never sat with crossed legs; and kept warmly alive the ex-
pression of cheerful benignancy, so habitual and characteristic, reflected in the
portrait.
The gospel of art is to enhance the beauties of truth and that artist is the
most successful who most boldly and simply eliminates details, emphasizing
the supreme motive underlying all art. Reticence is the soul of style in art or
letters and a painting is like a poem in its evolution and development. In
both are to be presented the characteristic psychical as well as the physical
attributes of a subject, and whether a Grecian urn is painted by Phidias or in-
voked by Keats their mental processes are not dissimilar, or as Reynolds re-
marked:— ' It takes a gentleman to paint the portrait of one.'
Hence to present the very finest aspect of a sitter, physically, mentally,
morally and spiritually, demands on the part of the painter, highly cultivated
discernment and discrimination.
Finally, if I have in truth been successful in the portrait it is due quite as
certainly to the inspirational qualities of the sitter as to the virtuosity of the
artist."
As an illustration of our friend's chivalrous treatment of
persons whom he met in foreign lands I quote the following from
a letter written me by my sister, Mrs. A. Wordsworth Thompson
of Summit, N. J. She says referring to General Wilson:
" How much you must miss him at your meetings, he was ever so full of
information and thoughtfulness for all.
When in Tangiers at Christmas time, 1882, I was overwhelmed with
anxiety about my good husband who had pneumonia and was delirious and
General Wilson who was there in our hotel, though a stranger to me, hearing
of my husband's illness came to our room and tapping on the door said: 'A
fellow American is near and ready at your command at any hour, night or day.'
And when my husband recovered and our circle was made most pleasant by
the hospitality of the English and Swedish Consuls, words fail to tell all of the
value of General Wilson's gentle and charming courtesy. That his memory
may be long honored is the wish of his friend,
Mary Pumpelly Thompson."
I deem it well to here present an account of his will which
was probated March 17, 1914, because it refers to the New York
Genealogical and Biographical Society. The will reads as follows:
'* I give and bequeath to the Metropolitan Museum of Art of the City of
New York my Washington gold sleeve links; my Bayard gold ring brought
from Holland in 1647; my ring, containing the hair of Washington, Hamilton,
Wellington, Napoleon, Lincoln and Grant; my large lock of Lincoln's blood-
stained hair; gold medal given to me by the City of New York in May, 1903;
three silver medals issued by Holland to commemorate the recognition of
American Independence and the Treaty of Commerce between that country
and this; a Waterloo medal, bequeathed to me by Capt. Frederick Lehrbush
of the British Army; the Edward VII silver medal issued by the Inter-
Parliamentary Congress of 1906 held in London; my large silver Hudson-
Fulton Celebration medal; the army sleeve links worn by .Grant at the sur-
render of Vicksburg; minature of Fitz-Greene Halleck, received from the poet's
sister; also autographed and framed portraits presented to me by President
Lincoln and King Edward VII, and signed photographs of Gen. Grant and
Admirals Farragut and Porter, to be kept together as the Wilson Collection.
If not accepted by the Museum, the collection to be offered to the New York
Genealogical and Biographical Society."

In concluding this simple tribute to my friend's memory I
would lay stress upon his helpful sense of humor. He was in the
words of John Kendrick Bangs a real "Salubrity." He had, as I
know, his own disappointments but he did not allow them to
"drive sentiment 'a begging or cares to take the place of smiles."
He knew thoroughly the value of spiritual and mental sunshine
and the cheer in a good story, and his friends in many homes will
miss his genial presence at their hospitable tables.
They feel now the force of the old saying; "A good name is
rather to be chosen than great riches and loving favor than silver
and gold." To his country's service in a great civil war and to
literature, to philanthropic service and to the claims of friendship
in the years of peace General Wilson gave the best he had to give
and without stint and for this we honor his memory.
I can here say as I did in my words to the press two days after
his death: "We shall know our friend's hearty greetings no more
but we all feel that he has left to us an excellent example of
the chivalrous friend, the kindly literary critic and the patriotic
American citizen."

IVa. Gysbrecht Adriaensz Tromper was councillor of Rotter-

private institutions, and also treasurer of "The Great Fishery
Trust."| He is also mentioned in a letter of Nicolaes Lord Van
Assendelft on Dec. 20, 1559 (see Leenregister, Kralingen, folio
151), and transferred a house on Middledam on June 20, 1562.
He married Maria Elants van Hogendorp. J Her will bears date
Feb. 17, 1592 (see Notarial Archives, not. pub., Symons). She
died on March 13, 1595. The children of Gysbert Adriaensz
Tromper and Maria Elants Van Hogendorp were:
1. Jan Tromper. He lived in " het Huys de Spieghel" or
"the House the Mirror," on the Middledam at the
north side near the " Hooghstraet." There he made
his will on Nov. 3, 1620 (see Notarial Archives, not.
pub., Symons). He must have died within the next
four years, for the house, mentioned above, was sold
by his heirs on Oct. 5, 1624 (see Giftboek, No. 19).
2. Ingeltje Tromper, married Jan Clementz vanGoor. On
May 3, 1590, he had bought "The House the Mirror"
which later became property of Jan Tromper. He died
before July 4, 161 1, and his widow before Feb., 1619.
3. Elandt Tromper, married Maertje Severyns van Beveren.
They appear in deeds of June 28, 1597, May 22, 1600,

full age on Feb. 23, 1619, were:
* There are several notes on the branch of the Tromper or Tromp family
at Brielle, to which also the great naval hero, Maerten Harpertsz Tromp,
admiral of the Dutch Republic belonged. (Admiral Tromp's statue, as is well
known, appears among those ornamenting the United States Custom House at
Battery Place, New York.)
f This was the herring fishery trust; the whale fishery trust was called
"the small fishery trust."

This line became extinct in the third gener-
ation.
IVb. Pieter Adriaensz Tromper, Jan. 5, 1590, was a trustee of
many private institutions at Rotterdam. He married there in
March, 1575, Aeltgen Adriaens, which marriage was not published
before March 28, 1576. At that date it was confirmed (see Public
Marriage Register, Rotterdam, folio 106, verso). Issue:
1. Arent Pietersz Tromper, born, as his mother stated at
the date of the confirmation of the marriage, in 1575.
He married (1) Jan. 25, 1605, Aefje van der Stock, who
died in 1616; he married (2) Meynsge Adriaens van
Hoogeveen. He himself died before Sept. 30, 1626, on
which date were appointed guardians over his minor
orphan children by the first marriage, their maternal
grandfather, Eewout Jansz van der Stock and Claes
Cornelis Kievit (see Register of Guardians, II, p. 620).
Only one of the children is named, viz.;
i. Alida Tromper.
2. Annitgen Tromper, married Huybert van der Meer.
3. Adriaen Pietersz Tromper, who follows under Va.
4. Catherina Tromper, married Oct. 14, 1609, Jan Joppe
Quackerneck, son of Job Jansz Ouackerneck, burgo-
master of Rotterdam (see Contractboek, p. 74).
As widower of Aeltgen Adriaens, Pieter Adriaensz Tromper(?)
remarried Katryn, daughter of Daem Allewynsz van Nideck. Of-
this marriage one son was born.
Va. Adriaen Pietersz Tromper is mentioned on Nov. 23, 1600,
Nov. 17, 1617, and on June 15, 1621, in the contract book of the
Schepens of Rotterdam. He must have died before Sept. 23, 1626.
On that date are mentioned in "Giftboek" No. 20, his nephew
and his brother, Simon Reyniersz Tromper, who with Arent
Pietersz Tromper, were appointed guardians of the children left
by the late Adriaen Pietersz Tromper, during his life Public
Attorney of Rotterdam, to wit of the orphans Daem Adriaensz
Tromper and Jacob Adriaensz Tromper, sons of the aforesaid
Adriaen Tromper, Sept. 23, 1626. These guardians conveyed on
191 4-] The Tromper Family of Rotterdam in the Netherlands. 223
behalf of the orphans on July 11, 1627, a house on the east side of
the Botersloot (the butter harbor). This was very likely the an-
cestral house known as "The Golden Head."
Adriaen Pietersz Tromper and his wife Cornelia Claes van Driel,
therefore had the following children: *
1. Daem Tromper, married Maria Jans van der Speck.
2. Jacob Tromper. The Rotterdam archives simply state
that he was an orphan child in 1626. Only through
them was the direct male line from their grandfather
Pieter Adriaensz Tromper continued, as is shown
further on.
Vb. Reynier Pietersz Tromper was councillor of the city of
Rotterdam from 1615 to 1618, burgomaster in 1616 and 1617. In
1617 he was deputy of the High Mighty Lords, the States of
Holland and West Friesland. Pie died at Rotterdam on May 1,
1618, in the house opposite the City Hall. Plis first wife Maritge
Simons van Neck left him one child:
1. Simon Reyniersz Tromper, who follows under Via.
His second wife was Adriana van Kels, called Post, born in
1574; died March 12, 1646; married Aug. 16, 1613. Issue:
1. Pieter Reyniersz Tromper, who died Oct. 22, 1647.
2. Johan Reyniersz Tromper, who died in 1667.
VIa. Simon Reyniersz Tromper is mentioned several times be-
tween 1621 and 1632. In 1626 he appears as one of the two
guardians of his two minor cousins Daem Adriaensz Tromper and
Jacob Adriaensz Tromper. He married, at Rotterdam, on Feb. 4,
1624, Catharina Ysbrants Kievit.* Simon Reyniersz Tromper
died Aug. 7, 1637, and his wife, April 8, 1656. Issue:
1. Gertruyd Tromper, who married Arnold van Os.
2. Maria Tromper, who married on Jan. 18, 1654, Dirck
de Raet, Lord van Stelt.
3. Reynier Tromper, who died in 1628; at his death this line
became extinct.
4. Margaretha Tromper, who died in 1621.
5. Anna Tromper, who died in 1653.
6. Catharina Tromper, who married Ferdinand Erlewyn.
That the two orphan boys of 1626, Daem Adriaensz Tromper
and Jacob Adriaensz Tromper, were the only male persons to
continue the direct line of their grandfather, Pieter Adriaensz
Tromper (IVb), is proven by the following fact:
The line of the third and only remaining (married) grandson,
Simon Reyniersz Tromper (Via) died out with his only son
Reynier Simonsz Tromper in 1628.
The line of Pieter Adriaensz Tromper's brother, Gysbert
Adriaensz Tromper (IVa), was extinguished in the third following
generation.
* She was very likely a sister of Willem Ysbrantz Kiefc (or Kievit), the
late governor of New Netherlands
2 24 The Tromper Family of Rotterdam in the Netherlands. [July,
The line of Pieter Adriaensz Tromper's only other brother,
Jacob Adriaensz Tromper, from which the naval hero Maerten
Harpertsz Tromp probably sprang, continued at Brielle.
Thus conclusively showing that thisUatter line and that of the
two orphan boys of 1626 were the only ones to continue the direct
male line of Adriaen Jacobsz Tromper, councillor of Rotterdam
from 1542 to 1558.
The only four possible continuers of the line of Adrian Jacobsz
Tromper's father, Jacob Pietersz Tromper (II) are:
Pieter Albrechtsz Tromper (II, 5).
Egbert Huybrechtsz Tromper (II, 6).
Pieter Huybrechtsz Trumper (III, ii).
William Jacobsz Tromper (II, 7).
Jacob Tromper, the orphan boy of 1626, is probably the first
American ancestor of the Tromper family.
Although the notes concerning the branches in the Nether-
lands reach to the beginning of the 18th century, it seemed to be
useless to extend the search much beyond the possible date of
the first American ancestor's emigration.
The direct line of Jacob Tromper:
I. Pietir Tromper, born 1460.
II. Son: Jacob Pietersz Tromper, died 1540-1541; married Ad-
riana Aubrechts (VanDuyn?).
III. Oldest son (oldest child): Adriaen Jacobsz Tromper, died
1559; married Catharina Jans Van Soelen.
IVb. Second son (second child): Pieter Adriaensz Tromper, died
after 1590; married 1575, Aeltgen Adriaens .
Va. Second son (third child): Adriaen Pietersz Tromper, died
1626; married Cornelia Claes Van Driel.
Second son (second child) Jacob Adriaensz Tromper, an
orphan boy in 1626.

Abel* Bristol (Aaron,* Eliphalet,5 Henry*), said to have been
b. 1755, "at Canaan, Ct.," evidently lived with his father at
Harwinton, Ct., until he m. Lois Norton of Goshen, and settled at
Canaan. He served in the Revolution, enlisting at Albany, and
later in the Columbia Co. Militia, in which he was appointed
Lieutenant in 1793 and Captain in 1800. As he "resigned regu-
larly " in 1800, this is probably the date of the settlement of this
family in Lima, N. Y. He d. in Lima, May 11, 1827. Children:
i. Lois,' b. Dec. 5, 1775; m. Jan. 24, 1796, at Canaan,
William, son of William4 Warner; settled at Lima,
ii. Abel,
iii. Norton, Cornet in the Ontario Co. Militia, 1802.
Children: Miles, b. 1821; George S.; Levi N.
iv. Miles, Cornet in Ontario Co. Militia, 1803. Probably
the Miles Bristol who d. at Little Silver, near
Vicksburg, Miss., 1865, whose estate was advertised
and an unsuccessful attempt made to find his heirs.
In 1880, (the late) Jonathan Bristol of Pittsfield, Mass.,
and (the late) John Bristol, of Cuba, N. Y., confusing
him with Miles Bristol of the Newtown Branch,
made a very successful attempt to trace the heirs of
the latter, and so discovered their error.

Ashur4 Bristol (Eliphalet,8 Eliphalet,' Henry1) had land "set
off " to him in Canaan. This seems to have been part in Chatham
and part in Austerlitz (all once included Canaan) as per two
identures made between two of his sons, Eliphalet and Ashur,
when Eliphalet quitclaimed land in Chatham, in 1818, whereof
Ashur Bristol died seized. This was recorded in 1832. In 1831,
Ashur Bristol and Olive, his wife, sold the land "in Austerlitz"
formerly owned by Ashur Bristol (deceased). This land was
igi4-] Bristol Notes. 233

Stockbridge and "next the land now in the possession of the

Church of Gainesville was formed, Mr. Bristol donated the site
and contributed one-eighth of the church. He also donated the

1825; died ; married, first, to Caroline Ma-

, a widow with one daughter.
1334 v. Amelia Hepsibah,8 born November 30th, 1826;
died May 15th, 1899, at Ayer, Mass.; not mar-
ried.
1335 vi. James Francis,8 born September 26th, 1828; died
December 29th, 1831, at Saco, Maine, and was
probably buried there; a child of George7
Thacher, Jr., died at Saco, Maine, December
29th, 1 83 1, according to Saco published Vital
Records, and it is assumed by me that it was
this child, No. 1335, as all the others were alive
at that time.
George7 Thacher was partly fitted for college by Joseph Adams
(H. C., 1805), who was a private tutor in his father's family (I
imagine he was the same Joseph Adams who married George7
Thacher's sister, see Record No. 772) ; he completed his prepara-
tory studies at Gorham, Maine, Academy under the instruction of
Rev. Reuben Nason (H. C., 1802). He studied law with Hon.
Cyrus King of Saco, Maine, and began practice in that place in
181 5, where he continued until 1835. For five (5) years he was
senior partner in the law firm of Gov. Fairchild and for several
years he was Registrar of Probate of York Co., Maine. In 1835
he left Saco for Monroe, Maine, where he remained until 1841,
where he was appointed by President Tyler, Collector of the Port
of Belfast, Maine, and removed to that place. After the expira-
tion of his commission he returned to Monroe, where he resumed
the practice of his profession and remained there until 1853, when
he removed to Westford, Mass. Mr. Thacher was a gentleman of
most pleasing address and distinguished for his generous qualities.
He had a deep sense of the importance of truth and justice, and
discharged every duty with conscientious integrity. Believing the
truth and importance of Christian religion, he was a firm supporter
of public worship, a communicant and constant attendant in the
ordinances of the gospel. ...

Nos. 1348, 1350 and 1351 were dead and had been dead for some
time, but could give no dates or information as to whether they
had married or not. She stated that about 1865 she remembers
that No. 1349, Catherine De Wolfe8 (Thacher) Jones, came to her
house in Schenectady, N. Y., with a child, a daughter about 10 or
12 years of age. She had no further recollections of her and knew
of the post office address of none of her descendants.

In 1904, William Henry8 Savage stated that his brother, James
Dabney8 Savage, "left home about 40 years ago [hence about 1864],
for San Francisco, and that he heard from, him a few times there-
after, but had not heard from him in 1904 for some 40 years. In
191 3 Lawrence Park informs me that James Dabney8 Savage in
1849 attended a private school at Medfield, Mass. In 1853 he
sailed for San Francisco and was not heard of after 1866.
Captain Joseph Savage (father of Charles Tyler Savage), was
a Captain of Artillery in the Revolutionary War and was a member
of the Society of the Cincinnati, which honor was inherited
by his son, Charles Tyler Savage, and again subsequently inherited
by his son, William Henry8 Savage, No. 1352. Captain Charles
Tyler Savage went to sea at the early age of 12 years. At 21 years
of age he commanded a ship. All the education he ever got was
at sea during his leisure hours; he was a self-made man. At 40
years of age he retired from the sea and subsequently went into
various kinds of business, and finally, in 1855, he bought a small
farm in Harvard, Mass., where he died, November 5th, 1879. He
was admitted a member of Essex Lodge of Freemasons at Salem,
Mass., on March 15th, 1820.

tionary War he was a Whig, and was on many Committees and
did much good service in the cause. In his will he left legacies to
his grandsons, James and Joseph Lovell, and the remainder of his

A Joshua Hinckley (son of Jabez and Deborah (Wing) Hinck-
ley of Barnstable, Mass.), was born at Barnstable, March 2nd, 1779.
He may have been the Joshua Hinckley who married the above Eliz-
abeth7 TJiacher, as at the time of her marriage in 1802 he was 23
yens of ago and hence of a suitable marriageable age, and, more-
over, about the age of No. 833, who was probably born subsequent
to 1780. This is a surmise only, not a positive statement. The
above Joshua Hinckley's father, Jabez Hinckley, was born at Barn-
stable, October 24th, 1741, and died there February — , 1817, and
married , 1764, to Deborah Wing.

The above Peter Hendricks bought land in Norwalk, house and
homestead, with mill and dam at Dry Hill, in 1786, he being then of
Norwalk, late of Fairfield. In 1787 he bought a small piece of ad-
joining land. He sold house on Dry Hill in 1792 and disappears
from records. He either died or moved away. Burr Hendricks, a
grandson of Josiah6 Thacher, is mentioned in the will of Josiah8
Thacher, July 15th, 1806; see Vol. I., p. 171, Norwalk, Conn., Pro-
bate Records.
Selleck's Norwalk, p. 452, is in error in stating that Mary7
Thacher married Betts ; it was her sister Hannah7 Thacher who
married Isaiah Betts (see No. 835).
C. E. Durkee (of Saratoga, N. Y.), and Edward Doubleday
Harris in their copy of Sadler Cemetery Inscriptions, Saratoga
Springs, N. Y., gives the following item: "Burr Hendrick, died
1914.] Thacher-Thatcher Genealogy. 255
April 7th, 1829." It is possible that this is the above Burr8 Hen-
drick (No. 1438).
Schenck's History of Fairfield, Conn., Vol. I., page 490, gives
the following item : "Peter, son of John and Phebe Hendrick, bap-
tized at Fairfield, Conn., May 22nd, 1737." This may be the record
of the baptism of Peter Hendricks who married Mary7 Thacher.
If so, he was 48 years old at date of his marriage to her.
Bailey's Early Conn. Marriages; Vol. VI, p. 40, gives the fol-
lowing item: "Peter Hendrick and Sarah Allen were married at
Fairfield, Ct, July nth, 1776. It is possible that this may be the
Peter Hendricks who married Mary7 Thacher and that he married
first as above to Sarah Allen, and she died, and he may have on
May 19th, 1785, taken Mary7 Thacher as his second wife. This
seems not improbable, as 48 years old was rather late in life for a
first marriage. These notes are, however, simply suggestions to
future genealogists, as I have not absolute evidence except what I
have given above, except the statement made by Miss Caroline
Pi^melia Pulling in August, 1882, to Miss Julia Redfield of Pitts-
field, Mass., to the effect that Hannah7 (Thacher) Betts, her grand-
mother, had a sister who left descendants that lived near Saratoga,
which would seem to point to Burr Hendrick and possibly also his
father, Peter Hendrick.

Conn., (between 1835 and 1840), aged about 88 years,
and was buried in Town House Hill Burying Ground; no

Children: none.
In Town House Hill Burying Ground, Norwalk, Conn., we
find a stone over the grave of No. 836 thus inscribed, viz., "Thomas
F. Thacher, died October 9th, 1832, aged 63."
Thomas Fitch7 Thacher lived on "Drye Hill," Norwalk, Conn.
His wife, Susannah (Lockwood) Thacher, was a woman of great
force. In her later life she was well known for the excellence of
her dairy products. Her milk, cream and butter were of superior
quality and the latter brought the highest price in the market. She
did her own milking after night-fall and made her butter at mid-
night. All her work was done in the cool of the day, and her well
was her refrigerator.

John Lewis (father of John Lewis), who married MargaretT
Hayes, was a son of Moses Lewis of New London, Conn., and was
baptized at New London, Conn., July 17th, 1720. I am informed
by Carl A. Lewis, the compiler of Letvisiana (P. O. address, Hamp-
ton, Conn.), that descendants of Isaac Hayes8 Lewis claim that John
Lewis (father of John Lewis who married Margaret7 Hayes) was
a son of John Lewis by his wife, Elizabeth Huntley, who lived and
died at Lyme, Conn. Both Carl A. Lewis and I find this statement
inconsistent with known facts relative to John Lewis of Lyme and
his descendants. He was a son of Moses Lewis of New London,
Conn., and was baptized at New London, July 17th, 1720 (see
Hempstead's Diary, p. 99). Moses Lewis of New London, Conn.,
was a son of John Lewis of New London, Conn., by his wife,
Elizabeth Huntley. This John Lewis was born in , England,
and came over to this country in 1635 with his father, John Lewis,
on the ship Hercules, and finally settled in New London, Conn. ; he
was a young man in 1670 and was over 30 years old in 1685 ; he
was constable in New London in 1681 and was sergeant of the train
band after 1700. He died at New London, May 8th, 1717, being
killed by \being hit on the head by the limb of a tree that he was

having felled for the bark thereof, while he sat on horseback under
the tree, and was buried in New London, May 9th, 17 17 (see
Hempstead's Diary, p. 66) ; he married at New London, Conn.,
May 24th, 1677, to Elizabeth Huntley (daughter^ of John and Jane
( ) Huntley of Lyme, Conn.), born at ; died December
26th, 1741, at Groton, Conn, (a very aged woman), at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. William Latham.
John Lewis, who married Elizabeth Huntley, was a son of John
Lewis, the emigrant ancestor to this country, who came over to
Scituate, Mass., in 1635, arriving on the ship Hercules with his
wife, Sarah (?) and 1 child (John2 Lewis of New London).
John Lewis the emigrant had settled in New London, Conn., by
1648, and was a freeman there before 1669; he died at New London,
Conn., December 8th, 1676. His wife, Sarah Lewis, died at
Boston, Mass., July 12th, 1657 (12th of 5th month, 1757). So the
line of John Lewis, who married Margaret7 Hayes, was: John,1
the emigrant, who died in New London, December 8th, 1676; John,2
who died in New London, May 8th, 1717; Moses3 (whose son, John,
was baptized at New London, July 17th, 1720) ; John,4 baptized
New London, July 17th, 1720; died at Killingworth, Conn., August
24th, A. D. 1786, in 67th year of her age (hence born after August
24th, 1719) ; John,5 born Killingworth, Conn., July 27th, 1760, who
married Margaret7 Hayes.
In, the distribution of the estate of Sergeant John Lewis, Eliza-
beth Lewis, administratrix, among the signatures of children who
receipted for their shares is that Moses3 Lewis.

From the list of pensioners of the United States, 1833, pub-

Placed on roll September 9th, 1833, aged 69."
Mrs. E. S. Upham, grand-daughter of Rev. William7 Thacher
(brother of Josiah7 Thacher), says that Josiah7 Thacher, her
uncle, was 4 years and 8 months older than her father; hence as
Rev. Wm.7 Thacher was born April 3rd, 1769, Josiah7 Thacher
was born August — , 1764; which date of birth agrees with his
age in 1833, as given in his pension record above.
Rev. Wm.7 Thacher, in his diary, says : "On the 22nd of Au-
gust, 1845. I vvas visited by my aged brother, Josiah Thacher,
on his way from Sidney, Delaware Co., N. Y., once more to see
the town of his birthplace (Norwalk, Conn.), and some of his

QUAKER RECORDS IN NEW YORK.
\
By Jckin Cox, Jr.
The records of the Society of Friends in New York State and
parts adjacent, are at Fifteenth Street Meeting House, corner
Rutherf urd Place. The Society separated in 1 828, and the records,
now numbering over 1300 volumes, include those of both branches,
one called " Hicksite " and the other " Orthodox ". The territory
covered by our records extends from Montpelier, Vt., and Hart-
ford, Conn., to Battle Creek, Mich., and from Farnham, Quebec,
to Hardwick, N. J., and Deerfield, Pa. Genesee Yearly Meeting
(H), in Ontario and Western New York, has made our Joint
Committee on Records the custodian of its records, and has been
invited to add a member to our committee.
The records of the Yearly Meeting, and of the Quarterly
Meetings are not of genealogical importance. Preparative Meet-
ing records are of little importance except in the absence of
Monthly Meeting records. The Yearly Meeting is the legislative
body, and court of last resort, independent of all other Yearly
Meetings, but maintaining with them all (of its own branch)
friendly correspondence by annual Epistles. The monthly Meet-
ing is the executive body, and its records are of greater im-
portance than those of any other religious organization, owing to
our system of birthright membership, and the peculiar care in
recording births, deaths and marriages.
George Fox was a great organizer, and early began to advise
the growing meetings to record their vital data, and other matter,
in a book. In 1668 he had copies made for the various Monthly
Meetings of his ''Paper of Advice", the basis of the Discipline
of the Society, and one of these copies, in an unbound book,
about 11x7 inches, he sent by the hand of John Burnyeat, a
traveling minister, who delivered it to the " Half Years Meeting"
at Oyster Bay, L. I., the 23d of the 3rd Month (May) 167 1. The
earliest extant minute, and doubtless the earliest written minute,
of an American Quaker Meeting, was that day recorded in this
Book. The book as it came from England, contained an epistle
from " G. ff ". to the following friends " In New England ".

very rare. He also published, 1S06, " Means of Preserving Health and Preventing Diseases."

The last four named were prominent Long Island Friends.
He adds, "you may keepe coppies of these Papers in a booke, &
send Coppies of them to New England and Mary Land yt mens
meeting may be set up in all places", wh\ch seems to have been
done. This original volume, used for minutes till 1703, was
discovered half a century ago in a Flushing Quaker garret. The
* Book of Records" in which Isaac Horner copied the " Paper of
Advice " and other special papers, after being lost for a century
and a half, turned up a few years ago. Although no minutes had
been written before 167 1, a record of marriages, births and deaths
had been kept.
When Isaac Horner (bless his memory, O Genealogists) copied
in 1685 these records into a substantial parchment bound book,
he did a thorough job, recording births as early as 1640, deaths
from 1669, and marriages from 1663, prefacing the latter with the
celebrated case of the marriage of John Ashwell and Ann Ridge,
1658, which being challenged by next of kin in 1661, established
our form of marriage, on the ground that it is the consent of the
parties that make a marriage, not what some one else says to or
about them.
Quakers first appeared in this province August 1, 1657, on the
arrival of the little ship, Woodhouse, 24 tons, bringing no cargo,
but eleven Quaker preachers, who at once spread into Long
Island and New England.
Meetings were maintained at Flushing, Oyster Bay, and
perhaps other places, from 1657, and Friends increased, but of
their marriages and other vital happenings, no record was kept
for some years.
When in 1685, Isaac Horner gave the matter of vital records
such impetus that his influence lasted a century, Westbury Monthly
had already (1684) become separated and distinct from Flushing,
but no minutes are extant earlier than 1697, and no vital data
(other than shown in the minutes) until 1730, when a large book
was begun, and continued. Curiously this book contains one or
two entries of births, and marriages of 1685. The book begins
with a statement so worded as to preclude the existence of an
earlier record.
That there were more Quakers in the Province than our early
records name is shown by wills and other data.
What makes our records so important for genealogical, bio-
graphical, or sociological study is our system of minutes. Quaker-
ism has always been a very practical religion, putting emphasis
more on conduct than on belief, and the lives of the members
have been looked after to a degree not approached in any other
religious organization. Marrying "out," which included mar-
rying a non-member, or too soon after the decease of a former
partner, or by a "priest" i. e.y minister of another denomination,
or marrying too near akin, or without consent of parents, was the
most common offense dealt with. Other offenses were, starting a
lawsuit or maintaining a quarrel instead of asking for arbitrators,
failing in business, neglect of meeting, and any form of social
disorder. These were the more common offenses. Dealings

regarding doctrine were practically unknown. In the " dealings "
with offenders, we often find a humor which the early Quakers
never intended, as they labored to bring back wayward ones to
the Godfearing sobriety of "the Truth."
The committee thereto appointed by Flushing M. M. in 1699,
having spoken to Daniel Dean about his disorderly marriage, "he
replyed for answer yt he could give ffriends satisfaction & allsoe
Said if it ware to doe againe he would not doe it." Being further
dealt with for "going from the truth for a wife", he states "yt he
hoops to be more Careful on all occations for ye time to come,"
which seemed to be all that reasonably could be expected.
6th of 10 mo 1705. The disorderly and Evil action of William
Thorne in accompanying William fford and Mary Hait in their
Rebellious indeavour to accomplish a marriage with out and
altogether against ye Consent of ye parents of ye Younge woman
ye Said william Thorne hath this day Considered by answer under
his hand. The meeting hath advised him to give Samuel Hait
Satisfaction by desiring his forgiveness and allsoe make his paper
of Condemnation publick as far as it wass known.
5th ye 7 mo 1706. "The friends apointed to take Care to speake
to Such as may have misbehaved themselves did speak to Thomas
Hodger about his drinking to excess at ye Court time in Jameco
wch thing he ye Said Thomas did Condemn by a writing signed
by himself and sent to the meeting wch paper this meeting desires
may be made as public as the offense & that James Jackson assist
him therein."
In 1730 as a couple stood up for the second time in M. M.,
another young man objected, claiming that Hannah was promised
to him. The meeting denied the marriage " at present ", and the
record does not show which swain got the fickle maid. In 1705,
"it was this day Considered the hurtfulness of Henry ffranklin's
neglecting meeting of Late Knowing that Such his practice is
Hurtful to him & therefore ye meeting hath apointed Horsman
Mullenex, Thomas Stevens & Benjamin Heverland to inform him
and indever to help him."
"Whereas I have some Time past Contrary To freinds
Principles Been Concerned in the Importation of Negroes From
Africa, which has Caused some uneasiness in my mind, I think I
can now say I am Sorry I Ever had any Concern in that Trade,
and hope For the future I Shall Conduct my Self more Agreeable
To friends principles in any such matter.
New York Novbr 6th, 1760.

" Dear Friends: Whereas I have through unwatchfulness gone
astray to the Principles of Truth so far as to take up arms and
assist in taking Prisoners several of the Inhabitants of New Jersey
which conduct I do sincerely condemn, and hope for the future I
shall be enabled to lead my life so as to make full satisfaction for
my past conduct. Richard Shotwell."
Purchase M. M. disowned a young man in 1786, for keeping
company with a young woman not of our Society and carrying a

pistol by way of defence. Here is material for a romance con-
densed into two lines. Another was disowned in 1792 for marrying
"his first and second cousin and unkles Widdow." The context
does not indicate polygamy, but rather such a multiple personality
as appears in the " Mikado." In Le Ray M. M., 1815, the intentions
of a couple were referred to the Q. M., which decided that the
degree of kindred was too close, "the sd. Eunice being the sd.
Darius's deceased wife's brother's daughter ".
Thus it will be seen that our minutes are a mine of data about
the member who offended, and most of those in good standing
frequently appear, on the numerous committees, etc. When a
member or a family removed to or from another locality, the
certificate is duly mentioned, generally with all the children's
names. In some meetings the minutes were laxly written but in
the main they are clear and explicit.
The records of births, deaths and marriage certificates of a
number of the Monthly Meetings have been copied, and are being
sold in typewritten form by parties having no connection with the
Society of Friends, to many libraries. These copies are, I believe,
complete for only a few Monthly Meetings, in other cases
containing only a part of the record. The cause of this is that
when, some ten years ago, a person was, unofficially allowed to
copy such data as he wished, the number of records was about
half what we now have. It was understood that the data was not
to be published, and this person made no sale of the copies.
Recently, in other hands, they have been offered to various
libraries.
The writer has, as he could find time, made digests of marriage
intentions and dealings relating to marriage in the men's and
women's minutes of many Monthly Meetings, down to 1850, after
which date, owing to the reform in discipline and other causes,
disownment for marrying out practically ceased. These digests
have been completed for about half the whole body of records we
have. None have been published, though the writer has looked
forward to a publication of all the marriage data of the whole
Yearly Meeting, but the enormous cost seems prohibitive. It will
be seen that the marriage certificates, even where covering a
given period, so as to be called complete for that period, are indeed
far from complete. An occasional certificate, by carelessness,
fails of record; or if recorded the certificate always fails to show
if a committee had been appointed to see to the rights of the
bride's children by a former, husband; or the man married a maid
of another Monthly Meeting (the division line might be between
their very farms) and the certificate, if recorded, was recorded in
her Monthly Meeting, he producing a certificate from his own
Monthly Meeting of his "clearness from other like engage-
ments "; or the young couple, dreading the ordeal of " appearing "
in the men's and the women's meeting for two successive months,
and then the very public marriage, would be quietly joined by a
magistrate, make a suitable acknowledgment, and remain in good
standing; or a member would marry a non-member and be dealt
with therefor. All these matters pertaining to marriage are

shown in the minutes, but none of them appear in the record of
marriage certificates.
The records are labeled, catalogued and shelved in a con-
venient manner, and many volumes have been re-bound. My
" Catalogue of Records and History of the Meetings," about 540
legal pages of typewriting, has been a matter of slow upbuilding
since 1897. It should be published, but funds are not available.
If some individual, or society, would undertake the cost,' it
would be a valuable addition to our sources of historical and
genealogical material.
The only other large collections of Quaker records in America
are at 142 North Sixteenth Street, Philadelphia, where there are
975 volumes and packages, a small number at Fifteenth and Race
Streets, Philadelphia, at Baltimore, where they have 300 volumes,
at Richmond, Ind., a few, and those of New England Yearly
Meeting being collected at Providence, R. I. In England, the
Quaker records are in the Friends' Reference Library, 136
Bishopsgate, London, E. C, Norman Penney, Custodian.
In all these repositories the records are more or less carefully
guarded — that is, it is not intended that the records should be
examined by curiosity hunters or that the "Dealings" should be
exploited in the press.
The following is a list of the Monthly Meetings that have been
at any time part of either New York Yearly Meeting, giving in
very condensed form the locality, the date of establishment, from
what M. M. set oft, and what vital records are in existence. The
M. Ms. are taken in the following geographical order: First those
on Long Island; then those in Northern New Jersey; then those
east of the Hudson, up into Quebec ; then those west of the
Hudson, including Saratoga County; then those out through
central and western New York; then those along the St. Lawrence;
then those through Canada, going west; finally those in Michigan.
Following the name of the M. M., are the names of P. Ms. (except
that of same name as the M. M.) that have been at any time under
its jurisdiction. It will be noticed that some of these P, Ms., have
belonged at different times to two or more M.Ms. This arrange-
ment helps to show the territory covered by each M. M., at any
given time.
It should be borne in mind that the date of establishment
indicates the period when a considerable number of Quaker
families had been settled in the locality for some time, and
Preparative Meetings established — frequently a matter of ten
years or more. This was the rule. "As 1 exceptions, may be
mentioned, the P. M. of Adolphus in Ontario, and that of Farm-
ington in Ontario County, which owing to the pioneer conditions
and distance from the M. M., were established with the powers of
an M. M., as to marriages.
The letters (H) and (O) indicate to which branch, after 1828,
the meeting belonged. There was always a P. M. of same name
as the M. M.

EARLY SETTLERS OF WEST FARMS, ^WESTCHESTER
COUNTY, N. Y.
Copied from the manuscript record of the late Rev. Theodore A. Leggett,
by A. Hatfield, Jr.
(Continued from Vol. XLV, p. 136, of the Record.)
10. Gabriel1 Leggett (Gabriel1), borr. at West Farms, 1697 or
1698; resided at West Farms, and in latter years of his life at
West Patent of North Castle, Westchester Co.; was a landowner
and an Alderman of the Borough of Westchester; died at West
Farms, April, 1786, and was probably buried at West Farms.
He was married, presumably at West Farms, first, to Bridget(?)
. (Nothing is known of her parentage, and her given name
is taken from the statement of a decendant, William L. Corse, son
of Barney Corse and Mary E". Leggett (Samuel1, Thomas*,
Thomas', Gabriel'.) He married, second, July 9, 1765, Mary
Wiggins. The date of her birth is not known, and she was dead
before 1781, as she is not mentioned in Gabriel's will of that date.
He married, third (?), Aug. 7, 1782, Sarah Brown.
Children 9(?) (Leggett), 4 sons and 5 daughters, all born pre-
sumably at West Farms:
i. Thomas', b. June 3, 1721; d. ; m. Mary Embree.
Isaac, b. ; d. before 1781; m. Hannah Wiggins.
James, b. ; d. 1800; m. .
Gabriel, b. ; d. before April to, 1760; m. Cather-
ine Ash.
Mary, b. ; d. ; m. John Archer.
Martha, b. ; d. ; m. Hezekiah Forgason.
Phebe, b. ; d. ; m. Isaac Meiers.
Catherine, b. ; d. ; m. .
ix. Elizabeth, b. ; d. . m. .
And possibly other children by third marriage.
Gabriel' Leggett was the youngest child of Gabriel' and Eliza-,
beth (Richardson) Leggett, and, as has already been stated, was
probably born after his father's will was made, that is, 1697 or
'98. The record of his death is found in a West Farms paper of
April, 1786, which was given in a previous number (see page 76
of Jan., 1914, Record). The statement that he was 90 years of
age at his death can be taken as approximate, as a year or so
would not be likely to be regarded by the person who noted the
fact of the long life, and other known facts would indicate 1698
as being nearer the correct date of birth than 1696, as this article
would make it. If the other statement that there was 65 years
difference in age between his eldest and youngest daughter be
true, then it must have been that he married a third time be-
tween the writing of his will, June, 1781, and his death in 1786, and
had at least one other daughter, for assuming Mary, who is named

280 Early Settlers of West Farms, Westchester County, N. Y. [July
first of his daughters in his will, to have been born before his
eldest son, Thomas — that is, in 1719-20, this would put the date of
birth of the youngest daughter at 1784. No records have been
found in proof of this statement, however, and perhaps even in
those early days newspaper accounts were not noted for their
accuracy.
There is a difference of opinion in the family as to the name
of Gabriel's' first wife, but it is claimed that the name of Bridget
is taken from an old family record, and it is probable that she
was the mother of at least the first seven named children. The
last two daughters, Catherine and Elizabeth, not being married
in 1 781, may h°ve been children of the second wife, Mary Wig-
gins. A marriage record from Christ Church, Salem, West-
chester Co., Aug. 7, 1782, of Gabriel Leggett and Sarah Brown
may have been the third marriage of Gabriel'.
There are several unimportant references to Gabriel' Leggett
in the Westchester Court records. He was an Alderman at differ-
ent times from 1730 onward. In the records of the Mayor's court,
Aug. 4, 1730, is the following: Miles Oakley, Mayor. William
Leggett et al, Alderman. Jury not agreed; James Langley and
Gabriel Leggett dissenting from the rest, gave their reasons to the
court, and these being adjudged insufficient, they' were fined
forty shillings each (!) and a new trial ordered.
In Jones' History of New York During the Revolutionary War,
the following incident is related: "John de Lancey of West-
chester County, a Tory, boasted that in the fall of '76 he went to
the home of Mr. Leggett and drove home twelve fat hogs, killed
and appropriated them to his own use. Leggett was at least 80
years old. . . ." This undoubtedly refers to Gabriel' Leggett.
The will of Gabriel' Leggett. dated June 25, 1781, proved May
2, 1786, in which he styles himself "Gabriel Leggett late of West
Chester, but now of West Patent of North Castle, Westchester
Co.," names sons Thomas and James, daughters ,Mary Archer
(wife of John Archer, of Winterhill), Martha Forgason, husband
Hezekiah; Phebe Meiers, husband Isaac; Elizabeth and Catherine.
The executors are sons Thomas and James and "son-in-law, James
Archer" (this is a miswriting in the will for "John," as in the record
of the administration, his name is given as John Archer, and Mary
Leggett, daughter of Gabriel', married John Archer of Winter-
hill, son of John Archer of Fordham).
Of the other sons of Gabriel' Leggett, Gabriel* died in 1760,
and as Isaac', who married Hannah Wiggins in 1761, is also not
mentioned in the will it is probable that he too was dead previous
to this date. As Gabriel's' son is not mentioned, it may be possible
that Isaac' left issue also, but no record of any has been found.

s
12. John* Leggett (John', Gabriel1), born at West Farms about
1700-01; resided at West Farms, was a farmer and large land-
owner; died at West Farms before Aug. 28, 1777, and was buiied
in the Hunt's Point burying-ground. He was married at West
Farms about 1740 to Anna Hunt9; d. ; daughter of Thomas
Hunt.
Children" (Leggett), 3 sons and 3 daughters, all born at West
Farms:
John4, b. , 1742; d. before Oct. 23, 1780; m. Mary
Haviland.
Cornelius, b. ; d. before Sept. 21, 1807; m.
Mary .
Eleanor (Helena), b. ; d. ; m. Thomas Law-
rence.
Susannah, b. ; d. before 1777; m. Embree.
Isaac, b. ; d. before Aug. 28, 1777; m. Mary Oak-
ley.
+37 vi. Ruth, b. ; d. ; m. Michael Collard.
There seems to be very little documentary information of
iohn' Leggett. Nathaniel Underhill acted as his guardian after
is father's death, and on April 6, 1721, John' signed a release of
the personal estate of his father to his step-father, Robert Eddos,
as follows: "I have reckoned and balanced accounts of my
father-in-law, Robert Eddos, bv and with ye advice and consent
of my guardian, Nathaniel Underhill, for and touching ye per-
sonal (not real) estate of my father, John Leggett, late deceased, /
upon which my mother Sicily Eddos administered, and then re-
ceived a cane, a sword and a gun in full for my part, share, and
portion of my said father, John Leggett's estate. Now I do
hereby discharge my father-in-law, Robert Eddos," etc. Signed,
John Leggett, Nathaniel Underhill.
If this release was on the occasion of his coming of age, then
he was born April 6, 1700, and was 77 years of age at the time of
his death in 1777, but no definite proof of this can be found. •
John' Leggett's purchases of real estate and the amount of
property disposed of by will indicate that he was a prosperous
and wealthy man. He died during the turmoil and excitement
of the Revolutionary War, but his home, probably the old Rich-
ardson homestead, lying within the British lines, with his effects,
were under protection. Under date of July 3, 1725, he makes the
following release to his uncles Gabriel' and William' Leggett.
(These releases seem to be for lands already given to or bought
by his uncles from their mother and brother Thomas, and were
probably lands in which his father John' had had a share by in-
heritance.)
"Release: by John Leggett for consideration of £60 to Ga-
briel Leggett, of all such right, estate, title, interest and demand
whatsoever, as the said John Leggett had, or ought to have, of,
in, or to, all or any part of ye land and meadows which ye said
Gabriel, by his father Gabriel, deceased, and his said mother
Elizabeth Leggett, which either of them, or by his. brother

vided or'undivided or situate and being in Westchester above said
and also in any part and parcel of ye personal estate of ye said
Elizabeth Leggett, deceased, which is in the siezen and posses-
sion of ye said Gabriel Leggett." Under same date he releases
William Leggett for a consideration of ^55, "all right, estate, in-
terest whatsoever, as the said John Leggett had or ought to have
in lands and meadows which ye sd William Leggett hath pur-
chased of his mother, Elizabeth Leggett, deceased, or were given
unto the said William by his father Gabriel Leggett, now in
William Leggett's possession."
On the same day and year, July 3, 1725, John* Leggett deeds
William Leggett, his uncle, "in consideration of £$, all my or-
chard and salt meadow adjoining between the land and meadow
of Thomas Hunt, and the land and meadow of sd William Leg-
gett."
April 4, 1770, the heirs of John Pugsley give release to John
Leggett for property on Cow Neck, which he had bought at auc-
tion for ^1325. This is described at length in Westchester Co.
Deed Book.
The will of John" Leggett (New York Surrogate's Office,
Liber 31, page 67) reads as follows: "In the name of God, Amen.

Proved before Cary Ludlow, Surrogate of the Province of
New York, Aug. 28, 1777.
There is no mention of his wife in the will of John* Leggett,
so that she was dead before 1777. The only record we find of
her is in the will of her father, Thomas Hunt, 1756, where she is
named as being the wife of John Leggett, and in Bolton. The
exact order of birth of the children of John' Leggett and Anna
(Hunt) Leggett is not known, but from the order in which they
are named in the will, it would seem to be as given'above.

16. William' Leggett (William,8 Gabriel'), born at West Farms,
March 26, 17 15; removed to Phillipsburgh and was a large land-
owner there. He died at Phillipsburgh, between March 17 and
June 25, 1763. He was married about 1735, to Elizabeth .
No record of her maiden name nor of her parentage has been
found. As she is not mentioned in his will, she was probably
dead before 1763.

him has been found. *

William9 Leggett was called William Leggett of Phillipsburgh,
to distinguish him from his father, William3 Leggett of West-
chester.' He owned considerable property at Phillipsburgh, but
as he died at a comparatively early age, there are not many
records regarding him.
In his will, dated March 17, 1763, proved June 25, 1763, he
leaves his farm to sons Elijah and Ezekiel, and makes them
executors; leaves a cupboard to daughter Sarah; other bequests
to sons William, Isaac, John, when of age; adding "if my father
please to leave me any money or effects, to be equally divided
between all my children."
The following is a copy of a discharge from the children of
William' Leggett, to their uncle Abraham Leggett, for the pay-
ment of the legacy of their grandfather, William' Leggett:
"To all whom these Presents shall come we Elijah Leggett Eze-
kiel Legget John Legget Joshua Sherwood and Sarah his wife

Wedded, Oct. 6.
I find no further records of Charles Frasier, and that he was
dead before 1762 is shown by William1 Leggett's will, written in
that year. Sarah (Leggett) Frasier was a witness to her brother
William' Leggett's will at Philipsburgh, 1763, and it is probable
that the Fraziers also lived at Philipsburgh.

13. Howes-Bangs — Correction.
The Howes Genealogy, by Joshua Crowell Howes, page II, states
that Sarah Howes, b. Oct. 29, 1673 (daughter of Thomas and Sarah
(Bangs) Howes), m. Feb. 12, 1708, Daniel Sears.
This statement seems to be incorrect in view of the pre-
ponderating evidence to the contrary as given in the following
authorities, viz.:
Bangs Genealogy, pp. 17, 19, 21, 22, states that Sarah Bangs,
b. about 1638 (daughter of Edward and Rebecca (Hicks) Bangs),
m. at Eastham, Mass., in 1656, to Captain Thomas Howes of Yar-
mouth, and had a daughter Sarah Howes, b. Oct. 29, 1673, who m.
May 19, 1692, to Stephen Hopkins (son of Stephen and Mary
(Myrick) Hopkins), b. July 15, 1670; d. April 9, 1733; by whom
she had eight children.
Sears Genealogy, by Samuel P. May, p. 60, states that Captain
Daniel Sears, b. Yarmouth, , 1682; d. Chatham, Mass., Aug.
10, 1756; m. Feb. 12, 1708-9, to Sarah Howes (daughter of Samuel
Howes of Yarmouth, b. Yarmouth, Mass., , 1685; d. Chatham,
Mass., Nov. 9, 1748, aged 63 years; and by her he had seven
children.
From the above quoted authorities it seems probable that the
Howes Genealogy is incorrect in stating that Sarah Howes, who m.
Daniel Sears on Feb. 12, 1708, was a daughter of Thomas and
Sarah (Bangs) Howes of Yarmouth. The Sarah Howes who m.
Captain Daniel Sears was probably Sarah, daughter of Samuel
Howes of Yarmouth.

Contributed by Laura A. Madden
Mrs. Katherine Searle McCartney, who for a number of years was a member
of this Society, died at her old home, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, on Saturday,
April 18, 1914, in the house of her sister, Mrs. William M. Miller.
She had been ill for six months or more at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Bamford, in New York City, but recovered sufficiently in March last to go to
Wilkes-Barre to attend the funeral ceremonies of an old friend, intending to
return to New York and her busy life here as soon as her strength would permit
her to take up her pen again, but her active work must now pass into other
hands while she rests.
Mrs. McCartney was the widow of the late General William H. McCartney,
for many years a prominent attorney of Luzerne County, Penn., who died in
1894, and besides her daughter, she is survived by a son, Mr. William H.
McCartney, of Wilkes-Barre.
She was the daughter of Leonard and Lydia (Dimock) Searle, and was born
at Montrose, Penn., May 17, 1838. Her maternal grandfather was the Rev. Dr.
Davis Dimock, who was one of the pioneer ministers of Susquehanna County,
and for twenty-seven years associate judge of that county.
She was descended from a long line of Puritan ancestors, including such
families as those of Governor Thomas Prence, Deputy-Governor John Alden,
William Mullins, Richard Warren, Thomas Miner, Philip Sherman, John
Lothrop, Nathaniel Bacon, John Gallup, Thomas Dimock and Francis Lathom.
She was a member of the Society of Colonial Dames; the Colonial Governors;
the Mayflower Society (which she helped to found); the Order of Americans of
Armorial Descent; the Mary Washington Association; the George Washington
Memorial; the New England; New York; Pennsylvania; and Wyoming Valley
Historical Societies, and for many years was a member of the board of managers
of the Old Ladies' Home of Wilkes-Barre, Penn.
Mrs. McCartney was deeply interested in patriotic work and was one of the
first charter members and organizers of the National Society of the Daughters
of the American Revolution. She founded the first chapter in the State of
Pennsylvania, and was its regent continuously for twenty-three years, a record
of which she was exceedingly proud. She attended ajl of the National
Congresses of the society held in Washington since its inception, with the
exception of two, and was one of. the best-known members of this body of
women, in the interest of which she worked unceasingly for the past quarter of
a century.
She was greatly interested in the work of marking the historic spots in
Luzerne County, Penn., which is carried on by the members of the patriotic
societies, notably the restoration and preservation of Queen Esther's Rock at
Wyoming.
Her talents as a genealogist have made her well-known throughout the
United States, and her ability as an organizer gained her a special decoration
in recognition of her services in sending the first six nurses to the front during
the Spanish-American War, through her connection as a member of the
Daughters of the American Revolutionary Hospital Corps.
Being a woman who had always enjoyed splendid health, Mrs. McCartney
was high-spirited, strong of will, and determined of purpose. She was cheerful
in disposition, optimistic in thought, encouraging and helpful, and possessed the
temperament that inspires to enthusiasm and incites to effort.
In. her death her associates can claim they have lost a valued companion
and a good friend.
The funeral ceremonies were held in St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, at
Wilkes-Barre, Penn., and the interment was in Hollenback Cemetery.

BOOK REVIEWS,
By John R. Totten.
Editorial Note:— The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society solicits as
donations to its Library all newly published works on Genealogy, History and Biography, as well
as all works on Town, County and State History, or works embodying information regarding the
Vital Records of any and all localities. It also solicits the donation to the manuscript collections
of its library any and all manuscript compilations which bear upon the above mentioned topics.
In consideration of such donations the works so presented to the Society will be at once
placed upon the shelves of its library and will be reviewed in the next subsequent issue of The
New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, each donation of such character,
whether in printed or manuscript form, will be reviewed under the head of " Book Notices " and
a copy of The Record containing the review will be sent to the donor.
The Society does not solicit donations of publications or manuscripts on topics foreign to
the above mentioned subjects, as its library is specialized and cannot accommodate material
which does not bear directly upon its recognized sphere of usefulness.
Donations for review in the January issue of The Record should be delivered to the
Society before December 1st of the previous year; for the April issue, before March 1st; for the
July issue before June ist; and for the October issue, before September 1st.
All donations will be generously reviewed with a view of calling the attention of the public
to their good points; but, while generous, the reviews will contain such proper criticism as the
interest of the genealogical student would expect from the editorial staff ol The Record.
The "Book Notices" of The Record are carefully read by all librarians as well as
genealogical students, and the review of a work in The Record is equivalent to a special
advertisement of such work.
Letters of transmittal of donations of such works should embody the price of the work
donated and the name and address of the person from whom it can be purchased.

compiler and those responsible for its production in its existing form were
evidently actuated by the highest spirit of natural family pride, and the result
of their co-operation is a beautiful volume full of the most interesting family
lore. The volume is printed in a most agreeable type, the paper is of the
best linen arid the illustrations, which are most numerous and excellent, add
largely to its value and to its artistic ensemble. Recommended to all Genea-
logical Libraries.

cillors of Pennsylvania, and all of their descendants, as well as descendants
of at least a dozen other Councillors of that Province. It comprises the
entire McCall and half of the Cadwalader, Swift and Willing families of
Philadelphia, Bayards and Finneys of Delaware, Hermans of Bohemia Manor,
Middletons of South Carolina, and numerous other families of equal local
distinction, including many eminent statesmen, officers of the army and navy
in the Wars of the Revolution and 1812 and subsequently, lawyers, physicians,
scholars, poets, artists, architects, novelists and engineers.
The work is a first-class genealogical production, and embracing as it
does information relative to so many of the important families of Pennsyl-
vania and other States, it cannot fail to be heartily welcomed by the genea-
logical public. It is strongly recommended as a desirable purchase to all
Genealogical Libraries.

will, like the original edition, be regarded as an authority and general refer-
ence book on American family history. The original work is so well known
and has been so well received in this country that it seems a work of super-
erogation to extol its merits, yet we cannot permit the opportunity to lapse

of the hope that the field entered by Mr. Matthews will be continuously
cultivated and that it may bear many future crops in the shape of still further
new and enlarged editions.

Library of Cape Cod History and Genealogy. Published by the Yar-

These publications are of the same general character as the Barnstable
Families (2 vols.), compiled by Amos Otis, originally published by the Barn-
stable Patriot and revised by C. F. Swift and issued in book form in 1888.
Every genealogist of New England families is acquainted with and knows
the value of Otis' Barnstable Families. The Yarmouth Register Cape Cod
Families is a similar series of articles on Cape Cod Families which had
their American origin in Yarmouth, Mass. They are invaluable for students
of genealogy of the Cape Cod families, and furnish in print information
available nowhere else except in the original records. It has been my privi-
lege to consult them frequently, and they have aided me materially in tracing
the history of Cape Cod families, and I most heartily recommend them as a
valuable addition to all Genealogical Libraries and to compilers of genealo-
gies of these families. Below will be found a full list of the articles already
published. The series will be continued from time to time, as the amount of
material is by no means exhausted, and encouragement should be given the
enterprise by immediate subscription to the present series and successive
issues.

This is a first class compilation of the genealogical record of Joshua
Gray (1743-1791), son of Andrew and Phebe (Chandler) Gray, and his
descendants through his children: — Thomas, Hannah (Gray) Sears, Sarah
(Gray) Thacher, Phebe (Gray) Smith-Gray, Joshua, Chandler, Mary (Gray)
Matthews, and Elizabeth (Gray) Thacher. A full chapter is given to the
records of Joshua Gray himself and to each of his children and their descend-
ants. To this part of the work there is attached an appendix containing four
chapters. The first chapter is on John Gray, Sr., of Yarmouth, the first of
the name in that town; the second on John Gray, Jr., of Yarmouth, and his
wife Hannah (Sturgis) Gray and his descendants, with notes clearing up the
question as to what the maiden surname (Sturgis) of his wife was; the
third on John Gray, of Harwich, Mass., and the fourth chapter on Andrew
Gray, of Harwich and North Yarmouth, Me.
The work cannot be too highly commended, and it should find its place
on the shelves of all Genealogical Libraries. It was my privilege to be
associated with the compiler of the volume through some years of her
research, which resulted in the present work, and I can vouch for the great
care and accuracy taken in its preparation. The volume was produced under
the editorial charge of Miss M. B. Fairbanks, of Farmington, Me., an expert
genealogist of well known repute.

Cock— Cocks— Cox Genealogy. By George W. Cocks of Glen Cove,
N. Y., assisted by John Cox, Jr., of N. Y. City. Second edition, enlarged, IQ14.
This work, the first edition of which appeared in 1912 as part of the "Cox
Family in America," now has 415 pages, of which nearly 100 contain, set in
small typeand condensed form, " lineages" of the Long Island familiesof Bowne,
Carpenter, Clarke, Coles, Delaplaine, Dickinson, Feake, Fones, Frost, Harcurt,
Howland, Priar, Townsend, Underhill, Weeks, Winthrop, giving new and
valuable facts as to each Immigrant, and his descendants for four or more
generations. None of this has heretofore been published, except the few that
appeared in the first edition. The facts stated about some of the Immigrants
are at variance with established traditions, but are authenticated. As a matter
of history, the " Narrative" of William Cock, now first printed, shows the
troubles of a non-partisan merchant during the British occupation of Long
Island. A brief but useful dissertation on the Society of Friends is included.
James Cock, here in 1657, was a Quaker, and his numerous descendants of
the name have been largely of that faith. The new data and corrections are
included. The family has spread from Long Island to nearly every State,
to Canada, South America, and foreign countries.
The work is a worthy monument to the forty years' labor of the elder
compiler, well-known as an authority on Long Island families, now in his
eighty-fifth year, and to the younger, who is custodian of the Quaker records,
from which so much material has been drawn.
This edition consists of 105 copies, each signed by the compilers. Price
$10.00 for the last 25 copies. The remainder are being sold for 85.00 net,
postpaid, by John Cox, Jr., 30 East 42d St., New York.

THEODORE FRELINGHUYSEN JACKSON.
Contributed by Justice Joseph A. Burr,
Appellate Division Supreme Court, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Theodore Frelinghuysen Jackson was born at Rockaway, New
Jersey, Nov. 16, 1830, and died at his residence, No. 10 West 43rd
Street, in the City of New York, on June 18, 1913. He studied
law in the office of Horatio G. Onderdonk, at Manhasset, Long
Island. He was admitted to the Bar of the State of New York
in May, 1852, and shortly thereafter entered into partnership with
Paul J. Eish, a prominent lawyer in the City of Williamsburgh.
This partnership continued until the spring of i860, when it was
dissolved by mutual consent. He continued in practice on his
own account until July, 1874, when he formed a new partnership
with Joseph A. Burr, now a Justice of the Appellate Division of
the Supreme Court, in the Second Judicial Department, in this
State, who had been a student in his office. This partnership
continued (his nephew Ernest H. Jackson, and Samuel H. Coombs,
having been subsequently admitted to said firm), until 1893, when
Mr. Jackson retired from active practice. While engaging in
general practice, he gave special attention to the law of real
estate, and particularly to the subject of trusts and wills, and
because of his preeminence in this branch of the law, when the
Lawyers' Title Insurance and Trust Company was formed, he was
selected as one of the Committee of Counsel, to which Committee
difficult and perplexing questions arising in connection, with the
insurance of titles were submitted for advice, before action was
taken thereon. In 1881 he was appointed by the Hon. Seth Low,
then Mayor of the City of Brooklyn, to the office of Registrar of
Arrears, and upon Mayor Low's re-election, was again appointed
to the same office, which he held for four years. During the in-
cumbancy of this office, in connection with the Hon. William M.
Evarts, he prepared a bill for the settlement and collection of out-
standing arrears of taxes and assessments in the City of Brooklyn,
which had at that time accumulated *to a very large amount,
which bill passed the Legislature and was approved by the
19
•?o6 Theodore Frelinghuysen Jackson. [Oct.
Governor. Through the operation of this act, a very large sum
of money, exceeding several millions of dollars, was collected
into the City Treasury, and a great amount of property which, for
many years, had been producing no revenue to the City, was con-
verted into taxpaying and available property. In 1889 he was
appointed to fill a vacancy then existing in the office of Comp-
troller of the City of Brooklyn, and in the succeeding year was
elected to the same office for a full term. After retiring from
the active practice of law, the remaining years of his life were
those of comparative leisure. He built for himself a beautiful
country house at Westhampton Beach, where he spent his sum-
mers, maintaining, however, a residence in the City of New York.
He was exceedingly fond of travel, and visited all of the places of
interest in this country, both in the South and West and upon the
Pacific Coast. He crossed the Atlantic many times, and during
the later years of his life spent a considerable portion of each
winter in the South of Europe. Mr. Jackson was a director in the
First National Bank of the City of Brooklyn, in theWilliamsburgh
Trust Company, in the Long Island Loan and Trust Company, in
in the New York and East River Ferry Company and in the Van-
dervoort Realty Company, of which latter company he was
President at the time of his death. He was a member of the
Brooklyn, Hamilton and Hanover Clubs in the Borough of Brook-
lyn, of the Racquet and Tennis Club, of the Association of the
Bar of the City of New York, and of the New York Law Institute.
He was a member of the Empire State Society of Sons of the
American Revolution, of The National Geographical Society, and
of The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, in
whose affairs he took a deep interest.
Mr. Jackson was the seventh son and eleventh child of William
"and Susan Day (Halsey) Jackson, and was a descendant in the
seventh generation of Robert Jackson, who settled at Hempstead,
Long Island, about 1643. Robert Jackson was a magistrate in that
town and was a member of the convention assembled in 1665,
which framed a body of laws and ordinances for the government
of the Colony under the Duke of York, and which came to be
known as the " Duke's Laws." The original copy of these laws
furnished to the Town of Hempstead, is now in existence, and is
filed among the records of the Town. His son^ John Jackson, was
High Sheriff of the County, a Judge of the Common Pleas, Colonel
of the militia and a member of the Provincial Assembly. He
was named as one of the Patentees in the Patent granted to the
Town of Hempstead in 1685 by Governor Thomas Dongan. In
1732, James Jackson, a grandson of Col. John Jackson, removed
to Rockaway, New Jersey, where the subject of this sketch was
born. Stephen Jackson, the grandfather of Theodore F. Jackson,
was a Captain of cavalry in the Revolutionary army, and was a
member of General Washington's bodyguard during the winter of
1780 and 1781, which he spent with his army near Morristown,
New Jersey.

On Sept. 11, 186I (which was the fiftieth anniversary of the
wedding of his father and mother, both of whom were present at
his wedding), Mr. Jackson married Cornelia Burr, daughter of
Jonathan S. Burr of Brooklyn, N. Y., who was a 'son of General
Gershom Burr of Fairfield, Conn. Gen. Burr was a descendant of
Jehu Burr, who came with Winthrop's Company to America in

THE VANDERHEYDEN FAMILY
Contributed by Richard Schermerhorn, Jr.
The Vanderheyden family was well known in the early days
of the Colony of New York, and was prominent even up to the
beginning- of the 19th century and for some time later.
The family is also well known in Holland and much could be
learned of interest in connection with their history and genealogy
if some one were to undertake the research. The author has
made no Holland researches, however, and in this article the
American records alone are given.
The early American Vanderheydens settled first in New Am-
sterdam. There were probably two branches of the family who
emigrated to America, of which Jan Cornelisse and Matthys
were the heads. They may have been brothers, although there
is nothing to show this. Jan Cornelisse made his will Sept. 7,
1663, in Albany, in which no children were mentioned, although
a Claes Jansen Vanderheyden is mentioned in a New Amsterdam
record dated Sept. 6, 1655, who may have been a son of the above
Jan. In his will, Jan Cornelisse Vanderheyden is mentioned as a
merchant and he came from Sevenborgen, Brabant, Holland,
and married Aeltie Jans Wemp, who was born about 1648, and was
a daughter of Jan Barentse Wemp and Marritje Meynderts.
Another document dated Sept. 3, 1663, records that the father of
Jan was Cornells Jacobsen Vanderheyden, dwelling in Seven-
borgen, Brabant, and that his mother was Sarah Janssen Van
Duran (Durk), deceased. A brother of Jan Cornelisse, by name,
Jacob Cornelissen, is also mentioned in the former's will, but at
this time was referred to as deceased. Jan Cornelisse is men-
tioned as late as 1665 in the Colony records and then report of
his activities ceased and there is no indication that he left any
issue.
From what is above related and data to follow, it is quite
apparant that Matthys was the progenitor of the American
branch of the Vanderheyden family. Nothing is recorded of him
other than mention of his estate which notice appears m New
Amsterdam court records of Sept., 1659, when he is referred to
as deceased. The name of Jacob Tyssen Vanderheyden (son of
Matthys) first appears in 1653 when he was a member of the
Burgher Militia Corps of New Amsterdam. In that year he
purchased and resold a lot on Broadway, New Amsterdam.
Sometime between 1653 and 1655 he returned to Holland, as he
married Anna Hals in Amsterdam, July 25, 1655, (according to
Colonial records) returning later to America. In July, 1658, he is
mentioned as a tailor, and in June of this year, he received a
permit to employ Indians as brokers for the purchase of furs. In
January, 1660, he appears in Albany as the owner of a lot, and
thenceforth seems to have speculated considerably in Albany real

estate, later purchases being on record in August. 1660, October,
1665, July, 1668, and June, 1676. This is practically all that is
recorded of Jacob Tyssen Vanderheyden. He died between 1680
and 1690 and his wife died about 1691. .
Among Colonial Records it is noticed that a William Vander-
heyden was in 1660 a member (representing Zealand) of the
Assembly of the General Incorporated West India Company, at
Amsterdam, Holland. There was also a Jan Vanderheyden, born
in Gerkum, Netherlands, about 1637, and died in Amsterdam, in
17 1 2, who was a very well known architectural painter. A
Vanderheyden coat-of-arms has been encountered, which at some
early period was established in the English armories. It is
blazoned as follows:
Sable, three mullets, pierced argent; on a canton or, a rose of
the field.
It is said that these symbols stand for very high rank according
to heraldric interpretation.

Matthys Vanderheyden apparently did not remove from New
Amsterdam to Albany, with his father, but remained in the former
place. In 1673. his name appears as cadet on the muster roll of
Capt. Cornelius Steenwyck's Company of New Orange militia, of
New Amsterdam. On Sept. 2, 1675, his name appears as a member
of the Dutch Reformed Church of New Amsterdam., and on Nov.
4, 1678, he took the oath of allegiance to the King of England.
His name is not found again until 1703, when he is listed as head

of a family consisting of one female and two children. Shortly-
after 1703, he must have removed to Maryland, where his father-
in-law had settled a colony at Bohemia Manor. He was a member
of the Maryland Legislature in 1709, 17113, 1715 and 1716, and was
undoubtedly a man of affairs in this locality. His daughters,
Augustina and Ariana married into Maryland families which later
produced some of this country's most distinguished statesmen.
Through one of these marriages was born, Aug. 10, 1753, Edmund
Randolph (great-grandson of Matthys Vanderheyden), who was
aide to George Washington in 1775; Attorney General of Virginia
in 1776; Delegate to Congress, 1779-82; Governor of Virginia,
1786-88; Attorney-General of the United States, 1789-90, and
Secretary of State in Washington's Cabinet, 1794-5. The father
of Edmund Randolph (John Randolph, who married Ariana
Jennings, daughter of Ariana Vanderheyden) was the son of Sir
John Randolph and was attorney General of Virginia.
Matthys Vanderheyden lived for the rest of his days in Mary-
land, and was a very old man at the time of his death. He is said
to have had several sons who died without issue. It is also stated
that he was related to the Schuylers, but where this connection
existed is difficult to determine.
Col. Augustine Hermans, father-in-law of Matthys Vander-
heyden, was a native of Prague, Bohemia, and after having been
educated in Holland, came to America at an early date, lived some
time in New Amsterdam, where he married his first wife, Maria
Varleth, and finally settled a colony at Bohemia Manor, Md. He
later married a Miss Ward, of Cecil County, and became a useful
and distinguished citizen, serving many times in the Maryland
Legislature.

The name of Dirk Vanderheyden first appears on the Colonial
records in 1687, when on Sept. 7, he and Nanning Harmentse
(Visscher) and Frederick Harmentse (Visscher) gave testimony
before Mayor Nicholas Bayard in New York City concerning their
trading expedition to the Indian country during the preceding
year. They had proceeded with a party under Captain Roseboom
to the land of the Ottawa Indians, and when at Ottawatamis Lake,
they had been set upon by a body of French and Indians, num-
bering 120 (their own numbers being 29), and compelled to yield.
Their goods were confiscated and they were barbarously treated,
being finally sent to Quebec, where they were " put out " to farmers
to work for their keep. Four of the number finally escaped,
including the above three, who made the return trip to Albany by
water in five days.
In 1697, the family of Dirk Vanderheyden is listed as com-
posing 1 man — 1 woman — 4 children. He was appointed fire-
master of the 1st Ward of Albany, Nov. 21, 1698. On Jan. 4, 1699,
he signed the oath of Allegiance to King William, in Albany.
He was appointed assessor of the 1st Ward, Albany, Oct. 4, 1700,
and on Oct. 4, 1703, was appointed constable of the 1st Ward,
Albany. He was appointed assistant alderman of the 1st Ward,
Albany, Oct. 4, 1705, and reappointed in 1706 and 1707. On June
18, 1706, at a meeting of the city officials, the following was
recorded: "The City Hall being now repairing at this time
inconvenient to call up, the Court is therefore resolved to adjourn
at Dirk Vanderheyden's house, which is adjourned accordingly."
On June 2, 1707, he purchased of Peter Van Woggelum two tracts
of land in Rensselaerswyck, on the site of the present city of
Troy, one tract bounded on the South by the Poestenkill and
North by the Meadowcreek; the other adjacent and running thence
northward to the Piscawen. From him was demanded, according
to Patroon exactions, an annual rent of 3^ bushels of wheat and
two fat hens or capons. This estate was released without restric-
tion by the Patroon to Dirk Vanderheyden, Dec. 15, 1720 (An
early map of this property, dated 1720, indicates the dwelling
house of Dirck Vanderheyden.), and in Nov. 1731, was deeded to
his three sons, Jacob, David and Matthys, each receiving an equal
share. In 1732, David conveyed his interest to Jacob, and in 1739,
Jacob and Matthys divided the farm, Jacob retaining the northern
and middle sections and Matthys, the southern. On Jacob's death,
in 1746, his son Dirk came into possession of Jacob's share, and
later in the same year, Dirk conveyed to his brother Jacob, "two
full and equal just fourths" of the certain two tracts of land. In
1774, Jacob I., the son of the above Jacob, became owner of the
portion on the south side of the Piscawen Kill, and on Dirk's
death in 1775, his eldest son, Jacob D., inherited the middle farm.
2 I 2 The Vanderheyden Family. [Oct.
In 1786, Jacob I. and Jacob D. were in possession of the parts
above noted, and Matthys, grandson of the Matthys mentioned
above, owned the southern portion. This is, in brief, a description
of the early ownership of the propertyiupon which was later to
spring up the prosperous city of Troy, N. V.
Little more is known of Dirk Vanderheyden, original owner
of this valuable estate. He evidently speculated in real estate
elsewhere as on July 10, 1708, it is recorded that he received one
of the eight plantations at Schachticoke, purchased from the
Indians. On Aug. 27, 1714, he was the highest bidder for land " in
ye south side of Schaahkook's Creek" and "60 morgen of wood-
land adjoining." His name appears on the roll of a company of
Albany Militia, in 17 15.

On April 24, 1696/7, Johannes Vanderheyden was registered as
a freeman of New York City. On Sept. 29, 1702, he was appointed
constable of the North Ward of New York City, and on Oct. 14,
1702, at a meeting of the Board of Aldermen, he was reported as
deceased. Soon after this his brother Matthys removed to
Maryland and his brother Dirk was living in Albany. It was to
the latter place that the family of Johannes evidently removed,
after his death.

his father's estate of 490 acres, on the site of what is now the city
of Troy. In 1732, his brother David conveyed his third portion
to him, and he thus obtained two-thirds of the entire estate,
title being verified in 1739, when Jacob secured by partition, the
northern and middle sections, and his brother Matthys, the
southern.

The name of David Vanderheyden first appears on the Colonial
records as private in Capt. Henry Van Rensselaer's Company of
Albany Militia, in 17 15. On Sept. 11, 1721, it is recorded that he
made a trip into the "Sinneke's" country with Capt. Peter
Schuyler, in a company of young men, to remain twelve months
and arrange trading terms with the "far Indians that come from
the upper Lakes." He was appointed alderman of the 2d Ward,
Albany, Sept. 29, 1744, and to the common council, Oct. 14, 1745.
He was an officer in the militia as early as 1755, when he is referred
to as Major David Vanderheyden. On Jan. 5, 1758, he was Asst.
Court Justice of Albany County, and May 4, 1762, and April 18,
1770, was Justice of the Quorum, Albany County. He was justice
of the Peace, Albany County, in 1758, 1760, 1770. On Nov. 29, 1762,
he was commissioned by Gov. Banyar, Lieut. -Col. of the 1st
Battalion, Albany Co. Militia, Sir William Johnson, Col., and on
Feb. 12, 1768, he was commissioned Colonel of a Regiment of
Militia " to be formed out of a part of the 1st Battalion of Albany
Militia and to include the district and city of Albany."
David Vanderheyden was a wealthy merchant of Albany and
a prominent man of the period. He was evidently a close asso-
ciate of Sir William Johnson in the many troublesome frontier
affairs of the time as his name is often mentioned in the lather's
letters of 1755-66. His sons, Dirk and David, were evidently
engaged in the business of " privateering." David's name appears
as part owner of several privateers in New York City in 1756 and
1757, among which was the ship " Defiance" of twenty guns, which
was owned jointly by David Vanderheyden, Jr. and James De
Peyster, of New York, and the privateers " Cicero " and " Pliny."
In 1754, Dirk Vanderheyden was owner of the brigantine
" Bonetta." In the New York County Clerk's Office is found the
following : "Dirk Vanderheyden, late of the City of New York,
but now of the City of London, merchant . . . brother David
Vanderheyden, the younger, of New York, merchant, my true
and lawful attorney. June 8, 1754." The following children of
David Vanderheyden are buried in Trinity churchyard, New York
City; Abigail, b. Aug. 7, 1757, d. Nov. 19, 1757, and David, b. Oct.
16, 1758, d. July 22, 1759.
On Sept. 5, 1766, David Vanderheyden, Sr., leased in perpetuity
of the City of Albany, a lot of ground for a family burial place,
3 1 4 The Vanderheyden Family. [Oct.
on the west side of Swan St., north of Washington St. On this
lot he built a vault, called the " Stringer Vault," so named, prob-
ably, in some way relative to his daughter, Rachel Stringer. He
made his will Feb. 7, 1770, which was proved Aug. 3, 1770. All
of his children, as given, were mentioned, except Nanning.
Two children of David Vanderheyden were buried at the Albany
Dutch Church Dec. 25, 1731, and Dec. 5, 1750, respectively.
Samuel Stringer, M.D., husband of Rachel Vanderheyden, was
an eminent physician of the Colonial period. He was Chairman
of the Committee of Public Safety during the Revolution and
Surgeon-General of the forces under Schuyler. He was possessed
of a fine education and was distinguished professionally to an
unusual degree. He died in 1818.

The name of Matthys Vanderheyden first appears on record
as a private in Capt. Henry Van Rensselaer's Company of Albany
Militia in 1715. On Nov. 16, 1721, he was appointed fire-master
of the 2nd Ward, Albany and in 1731 was fire master of the 1st
Ward. In this same year he received a one third portion of his
father's estate in the section later known as Troy, N. Y., and the
whole estate being partitioned in 1739, he. secured the southern
portion of the 490 acres, which was bounded on the north by what
is now Division St. and on the south by the Poestenkill Creek.
In 1752 he built a residence near the south-eastern corner of River
and Division Sts., Troy, about 100 feet south of the north bounds
of his estate. This residence was later occupied by his son Dirk
and his grandson Matthys, and remained standing until a late day.

Jochem Vanderheyden rasided in Albany, N. Y. until about
1739, then moving to Schenactady. He was the owner of real
estate in Schachticoke, probably inherited from his father,
which on Jan. 31, 1727, he offered for sale to the Common
Council of Albany. He died in 1746 and in Oct. 24, of that year,
his brother David was granted letters of administration in con-
nection with his estate.
On March 1, 1756, a John Vanderheyden was reported killed
in a battle against the French and Indians, near Fort Madison.
This was undoubtedly a son of Jochem. This John Vanderheyden
had a son Adam, bp. Nov. 9, 1755, in Albany, no other children

After the death of Johannes Vanderheyden, Sr., in 1702, his
family evidently removed to Albany, where they could be to some
extent under the protection of his brother, Dirk. Johannes
Vanderheyden, Jr., is first mentioned in Albany Annals, as being
among a party of five who msde a journey to the M Sinnekes "
(Indians) Country, presumably to arrange for terms of trade.

This occurred in 1723, a certificate to the effect that provisions had
been furnished them, bearing the date of April 18, 1723. On Nov.
J5> 1725. Johannes Vanderheyden was appointed fire-master of
the First Ward of Albany and in 1727 and 1728 served as Consta-
ble of the First Ward. In 1728 he was Asst. Alderman of the
First Ward and in 1737 was elected Alderman. In 1747, a
Johannes Vanderheyden, Jr., served as constable of the First
Ward.
In a number of papers Johannes Vanderheyden is termed as
"advocaat" (lawyer) and the suffix " Esq." is also found after his
name. His will was proved Aug. 5, 177 1, the following being an
abstract:
Johanes Vanderheyden, Esq., of Albany . . . leave to son
John my large Dutch Bible, in right of Primogeniture; also the
house and lot in which my son-in-law, Ogden, now dwells; . . .
leave to daughter Jane all my library, and a "large Book Plate
and the Block"; . . . leave to my daughters Mary and Jane,
all the residue of my furniture, and my Pew in the Presbyterian
Meeting House; . . . leave to my daughters Mary, Rachel
and Jane, the house and lot wherein I now dwell. All the rest
of my personal property to be sold . . . Mortgage given to
Harme Gansevoort to be paid. I make my daughter Jane and
Harme Gansevoort, Volkert Douw and Gerrit Van Sant, Execu-
tors.
The father of Mary Butler, second wife of Johannes Vander-
heyden, was Lieut. Walter Butler "of the Independent Com-
panies." It is not known what relation the latter was to the
Walter Butler notorious in Revolutionary times for his part in
the Indian atrocities of the New York border.

Derick Vanderheyden, by right of primogeniture, his father,
Jacob, leaving no will, inherited his entire estate, the property
comprising a two-thirds portion of the 490 acres, now occupied
by the city of Troy. In the same year of his father's death, how-
ever (1746), he deeded to his brother Jacob " two full and equal
just fourths" of this property, thus acting according, in all
probability, to his father's actual wishes.

As described in a foregoing paragraph, in 1746 Jacob I. Van-
derheyden came into possession of a one-third portion of the
property on which Troy was subsequently located. The old
Vanderheyden mansion on River St., just north of Hoosic, in
Troy was built by him in 1756.
History does not give much account of the early activities of
Jacob I. Vanderheyden. On Aug. 18, 1748, he was commissioned
1st Lieut, in Col. Sir William Johnson's Regiment of Albany
Militia, and he held this commission as late as Sept. 6, 1762. The
following is a copy of a later commission of Jacob I. Vanderheyden:
"July 30, 1772. Jacob Vanderheyden, Gentleman, of the County
of Albany, appointed by his Excellency, Wm. Tryon, Esq., Cap-
tain, General and Governor in Chief in and over the Province of
New York and the territories adjoining thereto, in America,
Chancellor and Vice-Admiral of the same: — First Lieutenant of
Capt. Henry H. Gardinier's Company of Foot in the 2nd Battalion
in the Regiment of Militia in the Manor of Rensselaerswyck.
Given under my hand and seal at arms at Fort George in the city
of New York, the 30th day of July in the 12th year of the reign
of our Sovereign Lord, George the 3rd, — A. D. 1772." In 1775
Jacob Vanderheyden was 2nd Lieut, in a company of the 6th
Regiment, 4th Battalion of Colonial Troops, with the same
officers as those of the above 2nd Battalion, and was later 1st
Lieut. His son, Nanning, served as Lieutenant in the 3rd New
York Line Regiment in 1776, and in 1787 was a Captain of Militia.
Nanning Vanderheyden was a resident of Half Moon, Albany

Co., N. Y., in 1790, his family (according to census), consisting of
his wife, daughter and two slaves. On Sept. 1, 1779, he presented
a claim for bounty lands for his services in the Revolution.

Visscher; bp. March 3, 1737, in Albany; d. Sept. 19, 1820; m.
Jennet Livingston; b. 1753; d. Dec. 10, 1825; dau. of John Living-
ston and Catharine Ten Broeck. Children:

Jacob Vanderheyden was a wealthy merchant of Albany, N.
Y. He lived at No. 85 Pearl St., Albany, at what was known as
the " Vanderheyden Palace." This was located on the west side
of Pearl St., about fifty feet south of Maiden Lane. The building
was erected by Johannes Beekman in 1725 and purchased by Jacob
Vanderheyden in 1778. The family left it in 1823 and it was
demolished in 1832 and the Pearl St. Baptist Church erected on
its site, which in 1870 was converted into stores. The Vander-
heyden Palace was said to be one of the best specimens of Dutch
architecture in the country. It was built of brick brought from
Holland and its general dimensions were 50 by 20 feet, with a
Hall and two rooms on each floor. The massive beams and braces
projected out into the rooms. Washington Irving describes this
building in the story of Dolph Heyliger in " Bracebridge Hall,"
where it is named as the property of Herr Antony Vanderheyden.
Irving took the weather-vane to his own home at " Sunnyside "
and placed it above the turret of the doorway, where it may
remain yet for all that is known to the contrary. The vane rep-
resents a horse going at full speed.
Jacob Vanderheyden was a Director of the bank of Albany
for many years and served in several public offices, including that
of Assessor in 1 783. The census of 1 790 lists his family as follows:
residence, Albany, 3rd Ward; 1 male over 16 (father), 2 males
under 16, 4 females (inc. mother), 3 slaves. David and Derrick
L., sons of Jacob, were also active in Albany affairs. David ser-
ved in the War of 181 2 as 2nd Lieut, of the 6th N. Y. Regiment,
and was later promoted to Captain. Derrick L. was an attorney
in Albany. In 1820 he was elected Clerk of the House of
Assembly. On July 4th, 1820, he delivered the Fourth of July
oration at Geneva, N. Y. In later years the daughter, Jennet,
lived at Stillwater, Saratoga Co., where it is understood the
Livingston family owned property. All of the family are buried at
the Albany Rural Cemetery, the lot being one of the oldest in the
place. It is not believed that any of the children were married.

His son John D. was a private, during the Revolution, in the 6th
Regiment, 4th Rensselaerwyck Battalion, Stephen J. Schuyler,
Colonel.
Dirk Vanderheyden inherited the southern part of the Troy
estate. He was known as " Uncle Derrick?" His residence was
located on the east side of the River Road, Troy, on the south-
east corner of River and Division Streets, about 100 ft. south of
the line of the middle farm. It was built by his father Matthys
in 1752, and was subsequestly occupied by Matthias Vanderhey-
den, son of Dirk, the South Patroon.

THACHER-THATCHER GENEALOGY.
I
By John R. Totten,
Member of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society and New England
Historic-Genealogical Society.
(Continued from Vol. XLV., p. 262, of the Record.)
The will of Josiah7 Thacher, dated March 2nd, 1841, and the
codicil thereto, dated November 1st, 1847, are both on file in the
Surrogate's Office of Delaware Co., N. Y., at Delhi, N. Y. In the
will he mentions his wife (name not specified), daughter, Sally
Thacher; son, George Thacher; son-in-law, John M. Betts, and
daughters, Esther Seymour, Harriet Beach, Ann R. Betts, Amelia
Hurd, Frances Betts and grand-daughter, Eliza Redfield. His wife
being mentioned in will, it is to be inferred that she was living at
its date, March 2nd, 1841. In the codicil to his will he mentions
his daughters, Sally Thacher, Amelia Hurd; son, George Thacher;
grand-daughter, Eliza Redfield ; daughters, Esther Seymour, Har-
riet Beach, Amelia Hurd, Ann R. Betts, Frances Betts. Executors
of will, his son, George Thacher; son-in-law, John M. Betts; wit-
nesses to will, James Hughston and William J. Hughston. Wit-
nesses to codicil, Robert S. Hughston and Wm. J. Hughston, all
of Sidney, N. Y. From the fact that his wife is not mentioned in
the codicil, it is to be inferred that she had died before its date,
November 1st, 1847, and as his eldest daughter, Polly Street8
(Thacher) Smith, is not mentioned either in will or codicil, it is
fair to presume that she was dead, without issue, before March
2nd, 1841, unless the grand-daughter, Eliza Redfield, mentioned in
will and codicil was her daughter.

Mrs. E. S. Upham, grandniece of Daniel Greenleaf7 Thacher,
states that he died in New London in 1837, aged 70. Rev. William7
Thacher (brother of No. 843), states in his diary that his brother
(No. 843) "was born nearly two years before him," and as Rev.
William7 Thacher was born April 3rd, 1769, it would make the date
of birth of Daniel Greenleaf7 Thacher subsequent to April 3rd,
1767.
In the Cedar Grove Cemetery, New London, Conn., there
are stones to the memory of Daniel Greenleaf7 Thacher and his
wife thus inscribed, viz:

Rev. William7 (Greenleaf?) Thacher was a man of much
prominence in the Methodist Church; he left a manuscript auto-
biography in two volumes, which was loaned to me by his grand-
daughter, Mrs. Upham. On the front cover of this work he men-
tions his daughters, Eliza Richman, Mary Ann Gilbert and Amanda
Reynolds, and his son, Charles Augustus; and states that on Au-
gust 23rd, 185 1, that he was in his 83rd year. The following ex-
tracts, taken from his own writings, give in my own words, a
brief outline of his life and usefulness : In 1779 or '80 the Thacher
homestead in Norwalk was burned to the ground by Governor
Tryon in his general burning of the town in his endeavor to put
down the revolutionary spirit of the place. At the age of 14 (about
1783) William7 Thacher was apprenticed to "Mr. S. B.," a tailor,
then residing in Newtown, Conn., and who two years thereafter
moved to New Haven, taking William Thacher with him. At 19
years of age he' obtained temporary leave of absence from his ap-
prenticeship by purchase, and in 1788 went to New York City,
where, in the John Street Church, he first heard of the Methodist
faith. In 1789 he went to Baltimore and was converted to IVfetho-
dism and admitted to that church ir. Baltimore on probation by
Rev. Henry Willis, June 21st, 1790. He returned to Connecticut
in 1790, and on March 3rd, 1790, he, together with his cousin,
Partridge7 Thacher of Poundridge, N. Y., were parties to a lease
of land in Stratford, Conn., being described as William G. ( ?)
Thacher, which leads me to suppose that he had a middle name,
probably Greenleaf ; and on October of that year went to reside in
Kipton, in Fairfield Co., Conn. In 1791, in April, there was a
petition against him in Kipton for being a dangerous person as a
Methodist. In June, 1791, he left Kipton for New York City, stop-
ping at Stratford, Conn., where he obtained a letter from Jesse Lee
recommending him to New York Methodists. He became a boarder
in Pearl Street, New York City, three doors east of Peck Slip,
and there was taken with the yellow fever, from which he recov-
ered. In October of 1791 he went, on the invitation of his cousin,
John Banks (then a resident of Petersburgh, Virginia), to Virginia,
and there remained two years and then returned to New Haven,
Conn., and set up at his trade. John Banks was a "taylor" in
Petersburgh and William7 Thacher acted as his foreman. He made
a trip to New Haven in August, 1792, and while there, on Novem-
ber 3rd, 1792, was married to his first wife, Anna Munson, and
returned in December of that year to Petersburgh, Va., finally

leaving there on account of his health, July 2nd, 1793. The John
Banks with whom he was associated in Virginia was probably the
son of John Banks who married Hannah0 Thacher (see record
No. 271). William7 Thacher was not accompanied by his wife
while in Virginia. On his return to New Haven he opened up a
shop. He was licensed to preach in October, 1795. September
28th, 1797, he became a travelling preacher at $120.00 a year. He
was admitted to the New York conference in New York City, June
19th, 1799, and was appointed to Pomfret, Conn., circuit; he was
pastor of West Thompson, Conn., Methodist Church in 1799. In
1800 he was in Armenia, N. Y., and Litchfield, Conn. In 1802 he
was attached to the New Rochelle and Croton circuits; in 1803 he
was in Yonkers, N. Y. ; and in 1804 in New York City. His family
had removed to New Haven, Conn., where they made their home
with his father-in-law, Israel Munson. In 1804-1807 he was Pre-
siding Elder of the Methodist Church of the district of Bridgeport,
Conn.; in 1810 he was in Brooklyn, N. Y., and in 1818-1819 in
Schenectady, N. Y. ; 1820-1822, in New Haven, Conn.; 1822, at
Philadelphia, Pa., at the conference, and there stationed; 1824, at
Newark, New Jersey; 1826, Trenton, N. J.; and in 1828 Presiding
Elder at Philadelphia, Pa.; 1831, at Poughkeepsie, N. Y. ; 1833, at
New Haven, Conn. ; 1834, Newburgh, N. Y. ; 1837, Flushing, N. Y.;
1839, Williamsburgh and Newtown, L. I., N. Y. ; 1840, at Norwalk,
Conn.; 1841, at Woodbury, Conn. In 1842 he purchased a home
in Poughkeepsie, N. Y., and in 1843 ne was attached to the Dutchess
Co., N. Y., Circuit, with home at Poughkeepsie; in 1846 he was
retired from active ministerial work. I have given this sketch of
his life to call attention to wanderings of the early Methodist
preachers.
Liber I, p. 543, Dutchess Co., N. Y., Probate Records at
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., records the will of Rev. William7 (Greenleaf)
Thacher; and in it he mentions: his son, Dr. Charles A. Thacher,
leaving him one-half of his library, wearing apparel and estate ; his
daughter, Phebe Amanda, wife of William Winans Reynolds, the
other half; he also mentions Mary L , daughter of Phebe
Amanda Reynolds. To the Rev. Benjamin Griffin of the New
York Conference he leaves money to publish his (the testator's)
memorial, and whatever is left of the money to the Methodist Book
Concern. Rev. Abel Stevens to edit the testator's poems. He also
left a bequest to his eldest daughter, Eliza Richman of New Haven.
Whenever his children are mentioned together Phebe is mentioned
first, Eliza second, and Charles A. third in order. In the adminis-
tration papers of the estate are mentioned Mary Ann Gilbert, de-
ceased, daughter of the testator, and her children, William, Luther,
Howard and Emily, all of New Haven, Conn., of whom Luther
was a minor. In the administration papers, dated July 24th, 1856,
and proved April 26th, 1872, Charles A. Thacher of Maysville,
Greenbriar Co., Va., is cited to attend probate of the will.
From the History of Methodism in New York City, 1766-1890,
by Seaman, we obtain the following: "Year 1804, The New York

District had Wm. Thacher for presiding elder. The name of
Thacher has been met with before; but now for the first time he
becomes associated with Methodism in New York City. He was
born in 1769, in the town of Norwalk, Conn., and was converted
in Baltimore in 1790. He began to preach in New Haven in 1795,
where his family formed the nucleus of the Methodist Church in
that city. In 1797 he was admitted on trial into the New York
Conference and labored in the States of Connecticut and New
York until he was placed over the New York District. He after-
wards filled important appointments in the New York and Phila-
delphia conferences, and becoming superanuated in 1846, made his
residence in Poughkeepsie, N. Y., where he died August 2nd, 1856.
His pulpit exercises were brief, pointed and practical."
Anna (Munson) Thacher, the first wife of Rev. Wm. Thacher,
was buried in the New Burying Ground in New Haven. Her heirs
received from her father's estate $1,725.00, including one-third of
home lot, one-half of house, together with privilege of kitchen oven
and outside passage with cellar and one-third of barn. Her daugh-
ters, Eliza and Mary Ann, were heirs of Israel Munson.
In July, 1820, the Methodists in New Haven obtained per-
mission to build a new church on the northwest corner of the upper
green. Rev. Wm. Thacher was instrumental in collecting funds
to accomplish the object and in May, 1821, the cornerstone was
laid ; but the incomplete building was demolished by the September
gale. The church was rebuilt and stood until 1848, when, encour-
aged by the offer of the City of New Haven of the sum of $5,000.00,
they transferred the Sanctuary to the corner of Elm and College
Streets. It is known to this day as the First Methodist Church.
On June 21st, 1784, Thaddeus Betts of Norwalk, Conn., was
appointed guardian of William7 Thacher, a minor. William7
Thacher was an heir under the terms of the will of his uncle,
Stephen Greenleaf8 Thacher, by whom he had been adopted in
accordance with a promise made, by Stephen Greenleaf6 Thacher to
William7 Thacher's dying mother ; and Stephen Greenleaf6 Thacher
dying at the age of 34 years, left William7 Thacher a legacy of £50
in his will and left him in the care of his widow, Ann (Piatt)
Thacher, who married as her second husband Captain Samuel
Keeler.
Rev. William7 Thacher lived while in New York City in 181 1
at No. 400 Pearl Street; in 1815-16, at No. 445 Pearl Street, in
which residence his second wife, Martha (Oakley) Thacher, lived
and kept a millinery shop. In 1816-17 he lived in same house and
in 1818-19 at No. 447 Pearl Street, and continued living there, his
wife keeping up the millinery shop, until 1823, according to the
New York City Directories of those years. •,

From Stratford, Conn., Land Records, we obtain the follow-
ing: Vol. 36^, p. 15a, March 3rd, 1790 \\ Partridge Thatcher and
William G. Thatcher purchase 30 feet square in Stratford for the
purpose of building a Bake House. Vol. 20, p. 76a, 3rd Tuesday
of November, 1796, judgment entered by Partridge Thatcher of
Pound Ridge against William G. Thatcher of Stratford, Conn., for
$208.74. March 16th, 1797, said lot of 30 feet square appraised
at $217.45. Vol. 27, p. 296, Partridge Thatcher of Pound Ridge
sells his interest in above mentioned 30 feet square on November
nth, 1799, for $60.00. From which it would appear that Part-
ridge Thatcher was at one time a resident of Stratford, Conn.,
which is more than likely, as it was the home of his father. The
William G. Thatcher mentioned in these land transactions must
have been Rev. William7 Thacher (No. 844), as there was no other
William Thacher thereabouts at that time and he was an own
cousin of Partridge7 Thacher of Pound Ridge and might very
likely have been interested with him in business. If such was the
case the initial "G" of his middle name probably stood for Green-
leaf, a name much used in baptisms of descendants of Josiah5
Thacher of Norwalk by his second wife, who was born a Green-
leaf. Rev. William7 Thacher, however, seldom, if ever, in later
life used this middle name. Partridge7 Thacher (No. 845) must
not be confounded with Partridge Thacher of New Milford, Conn.,
who was living at the same time and who was a descendant of Rev.
Thomas3 Thacher of Old South Church, Boston, who was a nephew
of Antony2 Thacher of Yarmouth, Mass., whose descendants we
are now concerned with.

1506 xi. Elizabeth Wetmore,8 born October 4th, 1825;
died September 22nd, 1810, at New London,
Conn., and was buried there in Cedar Grove
Cemetery, and an inscription to her memory
was placed on the Thatcher monument. She
was named after Elizabeth (Christophers) Wet-
more, wife of Ichabod Wetmore of Middle-
town, Conn., who was first cousin of her grand-
mother, Lucretia Christophers, who married
John Mumford of Salem, Conn. She did not
marry. Although of delicate constitution from
348 Thacher-Thatcher Genealogy, [Oct.
infancy, yet she lived to the advanced age of
nearly 85 years, and to the last could read the
finest print without the aid of glasses. She
lived in the Thatcher homestead, corner of
Main and Masonic Streets from birth, until
about 1890, when it was sold; after which she
made her home in the well known boarding
house of Mrs. Charlotte Graham, corner of
Union and Federal Streets, in New London, in
company with her sisters, Mrs. Totten and Mrs.
Robinson, in which house she and these two
sisters died.
+ 1507 xii. Mary Perkins,8 born October 16th, 1830; died
February 24th, 1909; married Colonel Augustus
Gilman Robinson, U. S. Army.
In addition to the above mentioned 12 children, there were
born to Anthony7 Thatcher and his wife twins, Anthony8 and
Antoinette,8 both of whom died in infancy.
Anthony7 Thatcher and all of his children have always spelled
their surname with a second "t'r (Thatcher), although his father
before him spelled his name Thacher. He lived in Stratford, Conn.,
until he reached man's estate, and then removed to New London,
Conn., probably induced to make this move by the fact that his
half-brother, Isaac Thompson, had preceded him there in business.
He there went into the 'shipping business in the employ of Mr.
Butler, and while in his employ made several voyages as super-
cargo to the ports of Havana, Cuba, and New Orleans, La. Upon
the incorporation of the Old New London Bank, in May, 1807,
with a capital of $150,000, Elias Perkins was made the first Presi-
dent thereof and Anthony Thatcher its first cashier, which position
he held for some 35 years; in fact, until within two or three years
of his death, when owing to ill health, h^was compelled to retire
from active business. He was also a suerit partner in the drug
business with his half-brother, Isaac Thompson, which business
was carried on in the building belonging to these partners on the
northeast corner of State and Main Streets. When married the
ceremony was performed at the home of his half-brother, Isaac
Thompson, on the corner of Bank and Tilley Streets, by the Rev.
Charles Seabury, of the P. E. Church of New London. Imme-
diately after his marriage he and his wife lived in a house belong-
ing to Nathaniel Shaw, on Truman Street, where their first two
children were born, after which they moved to the house on the
northwest corner of Main and State Streets, opposite to the drug
business of Isaac Thompson. He subsequently moved to the
house on the southwest corner of Main and Masonic Streets, where
his child, Eloise Hardy8 Thatcher, and his subsequent children were
born. The property consisted of some seventy-five feet on Main
Street and about 200 feet on Masonic Street. Anthony7 Thatcher
bought the property from the brother of Captain John French,
who resided in Norwich, and who, after commencing to build the
IOI4-] Thacher-Thatcher Genealogy, 349
house, sold it in an unfinished condition to Anthony7 Thatcher. On
this lot and south of the Thatcher homestead (and belonging to
the property), there stood at the time of this purchase another
frame house of earlier date of construction, which house remained
standing until some time in 1892, when it was torn down on account
of its demolished condition. Mr. Thatcher completed the building
of the house and it became the permanent residence of himself and
wife, and so remained as the residence of his family until some
time about 1900, when it was sold by the heirs of the estate. By
faith Mr. Thatcher was a Protestant Episcopalian, as was also his
wife, and in that belief he brought up his numerous family, each
individual member of which remained in that church during life.
After his death, which was occasioned by general constitutional
breakdown, he was buried in the Old Second Burial Ground, cor-
ner of State and Hempstead Streets (since converted into a park),
and Miss Caulkins, in her History of New London, speaking of the
beauties of this burial place, states : "The marble monument to the
memory of Anthony Thatcher — a cubic pedestal, tastefully deco-
rated and surmounted with a fluted circular shaft — is a beautiful
production of art." After the establishment of Cedar Grove Cem-
etery, the monument, together with his remains and those of his
family that were buried there, were removed to the Thatcher lot
in Cedar Grove Cemetery, the removal of the remains being super-
vised by the Rev. Robert Hallam, then Rector of St. James P. E.
Church, in New London.
Lucretia Christophers (Mumford) Thatcher, his widow, sur-
vived him and continued living in the Thatcher homestead until
her death, which occurred at the advanced age of 85 years, 7 months
and 27 days. She was a woman of sterling qualities and of pro-
nounced domestic tastes, living quietly in old-time simplicity in the
midst of her family circle. By birth and her own social qualities
she included amongst her friends all who were the best in those old
New London times. It is worthy of note in th^^.days of small
families and decreasing longevity that she was the mother of 14
children, two of whom died in infancy, and two dying in early life,
while the other ten reached the allotted share of man's life of three
score years, some of them even passing beyond the four score mile-
stone of life. Her funeral ceremonies were conducted by the Rev.
Robert Hallam of the P. E. Church, and she was laid at rest in
Cedar Grove Cemetery, where her memory is preserved by an in-
scription on the Thatcher monument. In her veins was mingled
strains of the Brewster, Christophers, Saltonstall and Gardiner
blood, representing the best in those days of her home surroundings.

NOTES CONCERNING THE MORRIS FAMILY OF ENG-
LISH NEIGHBORHOOD, N.J., AND OF TAPPAN, N. Y.
Contributed by Catharine T. R. Mathews.
Among the first settlers of Hudson and Bergen Counties,
New Jersey, we find the name of :
"Jury Maris— English." Jury or Jurie being the Dutch render-
ing of George. We assume that this Englishman's name was really
George Morris, as later his descendants called themselves Morris.
i. Jury Maris, m. before 1694-5, Frena Hanse Harty, bp. New
York, 26 August, 1671; she was daughter of Hanse Jacobse Harty
from Berne, and his wife Geertje Lambertse Mol. Their children
were as follows:
Geerty,2 m. Jan Van Schyven.
Marritje, bp. 24 Oct., 1695.
Lea, bp. 4 Oct., 1677; m. Abraham Kammega.
Jan, bp. 20 Aug., 1699; m. Anneke Kammega.
Rachel, bp. 24 June, 1700.
Hans Jacob, bp. 19 Sept., 1703.
Abraham, bp. 16 June, 1706.
Jannetje, bp. 13 April, 1708; m. Ide Meyer*.
Tryntie, bp. 31 Dec, 17 10.
Sara, bp. 15 April, 1712; m. 10 Aug., 1733, Jan Cool.
2 Isaac, bp. 14 March, 1714.
2. Isaac2 Maris (Jury1), bp. Tappan, N. Y., 14 March, 1714; m. at
Schraalenberg, N. J., 21 Sept. 1733, Catherine (Cool) Westervelt;
b. Tappan, N. Y. (From New Jersey Col. Doc. Mar. Lie. p. 536.)
" Schraalenburgh Ch. Marriage Records: " Mares, Isaek y. m.,
b. and 1. at Schraalenburgh, and Trintyen Kool w. b. at Tappan, 1.
at Schralenburgh, m. Sepi". 21. (License date 1733, Sept. 1.)
She was the widow of David Pieterse Westervelt whom she m.
at Tappan, 16 June, 1727, and by whom she had a daughter, Susanna,
bp. Tappan, 16 Aug., 1728, who m. Joseph Baldwin, who d. before
1765, leaving one child, Joseph Baldwin, bp. 16 Sept., 1748.
The children of Isaac Maris or Morris, as they now began to
call themselves and Catherine (Cool) Westervelt were as follows:
3 David,8 bp. 23 Feb. 1735, at Schraalenberg, N. J.
Abraham, bp. Tappan, N. Y., 5 Feb., 1739; m. 13 Jan., 1760,
Maria Marschalk.
Jacob bp. Tappan, N. Y., 22 July, 1741; m. 7 Jan., 1764,
Eleanor Edwards.
Among baptisms in Dutch Church, N. Y., are: Isaac, son of
Abraham Maris and Maria Marschalk, bp. 26 May, 1765. The
witnesses were David Maris and Susanna Maris, widow of Joseph
Baldwin; also Isaac, son of Jacob and Alida Moris, bp. 5 Oct., 1766.
362 Notes Concerning the Morris Family [Oct.
The witnesses: David Maris and Maria Marschalk, h. v. Abrm.
Maris. (The name really was Eleanor, Alida being a clerical error.)
These show the relationship between David Morris and the
Baldwins, and prove his parentage — ancj also show the different
spellings of the name at this time.
3. David3 Morris (Isaac,2 Jury1), bp. 23 Feb., 1735, at Schraalen-
berg, m. 14 June, 1769, Christina Mercier, dau. of Capt. William
Mercier; he bp. 1745; d. 19 Dec, 1812.
His marriage Bond which follows, also proves his identity as
son of Isaac Maris — Joseph Baldwin, his half-sister's son, having
signed his Bond, and at that time marriage bonds were signed
usually by relatives:

David Morris served in the Revolution. In 1776 he was in
Col. Haye's Regt; Capt. Onderdonk's Co., in Haverstraw Precinct
Regt. of Orange Co., N. Y. (now Rockland Co.)
It has been claimed by some of his descendants that he was
descended from Lewis Morris of Morrisania or That he was of
the same family; the latter claim may or may not be true, but
he was not a descendant of Lewis Morris as may be seen by
consulting The Descendants of Lewis Morris of Morrisania, compiled
by Elizabeth Morris Lefferts, nor was he descended from Lewis
Morris of Passage Point as others claim. It has also been asserted
that he inherited and lived on Morris property in New York City.
This is an error. On 4 Oct., 1784, David Morris bought from the
Commissioners of Forfeiture two and a half lots on the East side
of the Bowery, between Hester and Grand Streets, the former
owner having been James de Lancey. Land was also granted to
David Morris 23 September, 1795, on corner of Broadway and
Chambers Street, New York (see Liber 43, p. JJ, Register's Office
— also Grimm's Essays).
The baptisms of the children of David Morris and Christina
Mercier are all recorded in Dutch Ch. Baptisms, New York. Unlike
the majority, they had no witnesses to these baptisms.

David Morris8 left many descendants, among whom his
grandson:
Gen'l William Lee4 Morris, b. 1795, son of John Morris and
Mary Lee, was a gallant officer in the War of 1812 and in the
Mexican War. He m. Miss Harriman and had:
Col. Orlando H.6 Morris who was killed in Civil War at
battle of Cold Harbor, Va.
DeWitt Clinton.
William Lee.
Charles Oakley.
J. Wyman.
Caroline.
Anna.
The writer of this article is indebted to the late Charles
Oakley Morris for some of these later data.
At the close of this brief article which is not intended to carry
out all the descendants of Jury Maris, we have still the question
unsolved as to whom he was.
In Genealogical History, Hudson and Bergen Cos., on list of first
settlers, we find:
Robert Morris, Liverpool.
364 Notes Concerning the Morris Fa??iily [Oct.
Richard Morris, London.
Anthony " "
Jury Maris, English.
We find the latter called in various church records Jury Maris,
Jurie Morris and sometimes Jurian Jansen.
There was a Jurian Jansen in New Amsterdam, in 1657. We
find in Dutch Church marriages, N. Y.:
Den 16 April, A0 1660. Jan Jorisen j. d. van New Amsterdam
and Maria Fredericks uyt de Hage.
In Dutch Church baptisms, N. Y., as follows:
OUDERS KINDER GETUYGEN.
A0 1662 Jan Moon's Jorisum Herman Suymer.
Den 5 April Marritje Hermans Mr. Engel Berg.
Could these two be the same man, and could this Jorisum, born
1662, be Jury Maris who later settled in New Jersey ?
Jurie Maris owned land in Schraalenberg, sometimes called
old Hackensaek; also, before 1700, in the section called North
West Hook, in New Jersey.
He was a person trusted in the community, as 16 April, 1723,
Jurian Morris was requested by Cornelius Haring and Barent
Nowel, executors, both of Tappan, to examine the will of John
Hart of Woodbridge, New Jersey.
The writer of this article has examined a copy of all the
Barbadoes records of births, marriages and deaths of the Morris
family on record there, and no clue has been found either to Jury
Maris or Jan Mooris. Jury Maris had a*son John, or Jan, and a
daughter Marritje. While these names are coincidences, they are
not proofs. Christian names are often misleading.
Perhaps some searcher along Morris lines may solve the
problem as to which family of Morris, Jury Maris belonged, and
with that hope these notes and references are given.
It will not be out of place to add here some notes of the family
of Le Mercier:
In Baird's Huguenots, Vol. II, pp. 213-239-49, we find the name
of Andre Le Mercier of Dorchester, Mass. A Huguenot minister,
he was born at Caen, Normandy, educated at Geneva, and was
minister of the French Church in Boston for 34 years. His will
was dated 7 Nov., 1761 (Probate Office, Suffolk, Boston); he d.
31 March, 1764. In his will, he mentions "Children Andre, Mar-
garet, Jane, Bartholomew if alive." %
In Eng. Cal. Mss., p. 119, 29 Oct., 1684: A petition was made
in New York by "Bartholomew Mercier of Boston, New England,
that his estate and goods, be exempted from the payment of
customs, he intending to settle in the city— ordered that for the
encouragement of merchants to come and inhabit the city, the
goods and merchandise of the petitioner already imported, be freed
from the payment of customs."
In same volume, p. 141: 17 Oct., 1685. Denization: "Bar-
tholomew Mercier, Catherine Mercier, Henry Mercier, with liberty
to trade and traffic."
10M-] of English Neighborhood, N.J., and Tappan, N. Y. 365
This is the Bartholomew whose line is given below, but the
dales would show that he could not have been the son mentioned
in will of Andre le Mereicr; he was probably his brother, or a near
relative. In 1761 Andre le Mercier was not sure that his son was
living. This Bartholomew left Boston in 1684/77 years before
Andre le Mercier made his will.
I. Bartholomew Mercier m. Catherine de Lasty (called Laty),
perhaps a sister of Martha de Lasty who m. Guillamme le Count.
Catherine m. 2d, Bonnefoy. Made her will 25 Oct. 1714.
Mentions her children:
Henry Mercey.
Catherine and David Bonnefoy.

Christina, wid. Henri Mercier, m. 2d, 29 Jan., 1719, John Dyer.
III. William Mercier, b. 24 Sept., 1717; d. in New York, 1797.
The name of his wife is not recorded. There was a Mrs. Marie
Rosse Mercier in New York, in 1775. It may have been his wife.
William Mercier was Capt. of the Porpoise, 1747, and Capt. of the
York, 1755. He also served during the Revolution.
His daughter:
IV. Christina, b. 1745; d. 19 Dec, 1812; m. 14 June, 1769, David
Morris as shown in foregoing Morris notes.
The witnesses to the will of Capt. William Mercier (which is
in Surrogate's Office, New York), were Peter Cole or Cool (a near
relative of Catherine Cool, wife of Isaac Morris), and Charles
Baldwin of the same connection, these giving further links in
proving identity of David Morris.

Marriage certificate oUames8 Cock and Hannah Feke, 1698, from
the Cock-Cocks-Cox Genealogy. Thomas Chalkley, the noted Quaker
minister, whose name appears as a witness, says of this visit, " We
had a meeting at a place called Matinicock, where I met with some of
the people called Ranters, who disturbed our meeting. I may say as
the apostle Paul, (only altering Ephesus to Matinecock,) I fought with
beasts there."

* I wish here to voice a protest not only against this Library, but against
any other Library or Society which retains old records from their proper

Church records by a Title Guarantee Co. is a similar outrage.

The map of 182 1 shows the Yearly Meeting at nearly its
maximum membership and jurisdiction. By 1828 it had in-
creased to about 20,000 members, and was on the point of setting
off " Ontario Yearly Meeting," to include the meetings in Canada
and central and western New York, the lake being then a con-
venient means of access, where it now is an obstacle. This was
however prevented by the great Separation of that year, which
so crippled both branches that neither has yet fully recovered.

By his second marriage Richard Lawrence had two children,
a son William and a daughter Jane. (Not in Leggett line.)
Richard Lawrence was a Loyalist and sided openly with the
British, joined the forces of Lord Howe, and bore the rank of
colonel in the British army. After peace was declared hewas
imprisoned in New York for the assistance which he had given
the English, and shortly after his release he went to England
where he remained until his death in 1789. His widow, Mrs.
Elizabeth (Oakley) Lawrence received the pension of a colonel's
widow from the British government until her death.
Richard Lawrence, the eldest son of Colonel Richard, shared
his father's prejudices, and, with several of his sisters^ went to
St. John's, N. B., in 1793. [

The records of the children of John' Leggett, as given above,
are taken from the " Narrative " of his son, Major Abraham Leg-
gett. The record of the Rev. Mr. Leggett differs from this by
giving the name of the eldest daughter as Frances (also so named
in the will of her grandfather, William' Leggett), and the hus-
i<5 1 4-] Early Settlers of West Farms, Westchester County, N. Y. , 375
band of Susannah as Theodore De Forest, \vho married a
Susannah Leggett, June 27, 1779, according to the New York
marriages. It would seem as though the record of Major Leggett
should be correct, although we have not been able to verify it
by other records. \
Major Leggett states in his "Narrative" that his father,
John' Leggett marched for Canada in 1759, got as far as Lake
George, where he was taken with the fever, and died there in
four days (this was the latter part of the year 1759 or 1760, as
administration papers on his estate were granted to Joseph Avery,
Dec. 19, 1760), and that in 1762 his mother, with the other three
children returned to her father's home in Newtown, Major Leg-
gett staying with his grandfather, William3 Leggett. Sarah
(Alsop) Leggett, widow of John3 Leggett, later married, as her
second husband, a Mr. Lawrence of Newtown.

Thomas8 Leggett purchased a farm at Stillwater, Saratoga
County, N. Y., sometime before the Revolution, where most of
his children were born. His dwelling and outbuildings, of logs,
were within the Hessian redoubt at the battle of Saratoga. At
the approach of Burgoyne, the family crossed the river to Easton,
Washington County. Two of his sons, Isaac and Thomas, were
taken prisoners by the British, and carried to the camp near
Schuylerville; but later made their escape and returned home.
(This note is taken from the records of a descendant, John" Leg-
376 Early Settlers of West Farms, Westchester County, N. Y. [Oct.
gett [Abraham,8 Isaac4], and is probably the correct version of an
incident very differently told by Bolton, and quoted from him in
other articles.)
The history of Saratoga County states that Isaac and Gabriel
Leggett were early settlers at Stillwater, and it seems likely that
Thomas' Leggett was only living there temporarily, those two
sons remaining on his property, the other members of the family
returning to New York.
The family of Thomas8 Leggett were Friends, the first mem-
bers of the Leggett family to become members of that faith, and
were the founders of the Friends' Society at Stillwater.
There seems to be some difference of opinion as to whether
Charles4 Leggett, given by the Rev. Theodore Leggett as the
fifth child of Thomas3 and Mary (Embree) Leggett, was a son of
this Thomas. His name is not found in the family record of
John6 Leggett, noted above, and in the Gustin Genealogy his
grandson, General Mortimer Leggett is called a descendant of
William5 Leggett. No published records of Charles or of his
family have been found.

Leggett calls himself "late of Westchester, now of New York

grandsons Henry, son of Gabriel, and John, son of Thomas;
three daughters, Nancy, Martha and Elizabeth.
From this it would appear that his wife, who is not named,
and the other daughters, must have been dead previous to 1800.
The Elizabeth named in the will may be the seventh child, whose
name is given as Esther in the above list of children, or there
may have been still another daughter.

John4 Leggett was born in 1742, according to family records,
but the exact month and day have not been recorded; he mar-
ried Mary Haviland, a daughter of Ebenezer Haviland and Phebe
(Cornell) Haviland, about 1762, their eldest son, Ebenezer, having
been born in 1763.
John Leggett lived on the West Farms estate, which had de-
scended to him from his father, probably in the Richardson
homestead, and he left the farm to his son John at his death, or
rather, after the death of his wife.
John Leggett was a member of the First Regiment, West-
chester Co., in the Revolution. The records in the Historical
Manuscripts relating to the war of the Revolution are as follows:
" The first to respond to the call of the Provincial Congress by
the election of its militia officers, was the Borough town of West-
chester, where on the 24th day of August (1775), John Oakley
was elected to the command of the local company, with Nicholas
Berrian for its first Lieutenant, and Isaac Leggett for its second
Lieutenant . . ." Also: " List of names of those, from West
Farms and the Manor of Fordham who were summoned to meet
at WeStchester who petitioned for the organization of the new
company, and who were (among) its members . . . Abram
Leggett, William Leggett, John Leggett, Junr., Cornelius Leg-
gett."
The will of John4 Leggett, dated Jan. 8, 1780, proved Oct. 23,
1780, leaves his farm on the Cow Neck to his son Ebenezer, the
rvM-1 fCariy Settlers of West Farms, Westchester County, N. Y. 379
homestead farm to his wife Mary, while she lives or until she
remarries, it then to go to his younger son John; with bequests
to his daughters Anna, Abigail, Mary and Martha. The silver
tankard which was bequeathed to him by his father, John* Leg-
gett, he leaves to his son John.

Haviland Note. — Ebenezer Haviland, born about 1703, son
of Benjamin and Abigail Haviland, married 1735, Phebe Cornell,
born 6 day of 3 month, 1715 (May 30, if the year was reckoned
from March 25, as the Friends' calendar usually was in the early
days), daughter of Richard Cornell and Hannah (Thorne) Cornell.
Ebenezer Haviland died in 1749, and Phebe (Cornell) Haviland
married as her 2nd husband, John Williams of Westchester.
Phebe Haviland Williams died before 1756.
Ebenezer and Phebe (Cornell) Haviland had seven children:
1. Mary, b. ; d. ; m. about 1762, John4 Leggett.
2. Abigail, b. ; d. ; no further record.
3. Hannah, b. 1739; d. 1758; m. 1754, John Griffin.
4. Elizabeth, b. ; d. ; m. 1766, Thomas Comstock.
5. Ebenezer, b. 1742; d. ; m. 1770, Jane Burling.
6. Thomas, b. ; d. 1787; m. 1777, Helena Bartow.
7. Benjamin, b. 1749; d. ; m. 1770, Sarah Farrington.
We have no actual proof that the Mary named above is the
one who married John4 Leggett, further than the fact that their
eldest son was Ebenezer, and that John and Mary Leggett were
witnesses at the marriage of Elizabeth Haviland and Thomas
Comstock, Oct. 10, 1766. The Cornell Genealogy states that all
the children of Ebenezer and Phebe Haviland died young with
the exception Hannah and Elizabeth, but we find the records of
marriages, etc., of the others as given above, in the Friends'
records, so that this statement is disproved by the existing
records, and it seems probable that Mary, daughter of Ebenezer
and Phebe Haviland, was the Mary Haviland who married John*
Leggett.

Isaac4 Leggett was chosen 2d lieutenant of the first militia
company raised in Westchester for the War of Independence.
As he was dead when his father, John' Leggett wrote his will in
1^77, and as no record of a will or administration of any estate
has been found, it is probable that he was killed in one of the
early battles, either at White Plains or Long Island.

Mary4 Leggett is called Frances in the will of her grandfather,

dropped later, as she is called Mary in the notes to her brother,

Richard Norwood and his wife Maria Cool had a son Andrew,
baptized in the Dutch Church, 1731 ; a second son Andrew, bap-
tized Feb. 7, 1733, but he is not mentioned in the will of his aunt,
Cornelia Norwood, 1772, and may not have been living at that
date. Richard and Cornelia Norwood had a brother, Andrew,
born probably about 1700, who had daughters Cornelia, Annatie
and Mary living in 1772, and Mary* Leggett may have married
him as his second wife. We have not been able to place Andrew
Norwood, the husband of Mary Leggett, any more accurately,
though he must have been of this family.

Abraham4 Leggett was born at West Farms, Jan. 3, 1755; his
father, John' Leggett, died when Abraham was five years of age,
and when his mother returned to Newtown, L. I., in 1762, he
went to live with his grandfather, William' Leggett. On the
death of William' Leggett in 1763, he went to his uncle Abraham's
home, where he remained until fourteen years of age. He was
then apprenticed to Phineas Hunt, and later to Samuel Van Black,
to learn the trade of blacksmith.

When the trouble began between the Colonies and England,
Abraham Leggett took an active part in Westchester County
politics. He, with Thomas Hunt, Col. Lewis Norris, and nine
others were the gentlemen addressed by fhe New York Committee
relative to appointment of delegates to a convention of the county,
for the election of deputies to the Colonial Congress held at Phila-
delphia, May 10, 1775. He served as ensign, later as lieutenant,
when the war began; raised a company for Capt. James Horton,
March 13, 1776; was in the battle of Brooklyn, Harlem Heights,
White Plains, and Fort Montgomery. When Fort Montgomery
was taken by the British he was taken prisoner and was confined
in the old City Hall on Wall Street, and later in the Old Provost
in the Park, where he suffered great privation and hardship. He
remained a prisoner until 1781 when he was exchanged. Later,
he rejoined the army and served until the end of the war.
After the Revolution, Major Abraham Leggett removed to
Charleston, S. C, from there to Savannah, Georgia, and about 1805
returned to New York City, where he resided until his death in
1842. Major Leggett was an original member of the New York
Society of the Cincinnati, and served as its vice-president from
1838 until his death in 1842.
At the request of his children, Major Leggett began a history
of his life and Revolutionary experiences, a few years before his
death, which was published with editorial notes by Charles Bush-
nell, in 1865, under the title of "Narrative of Abraham Leggett."
William6 Leggett (No. 131), son of Major Abraham4 Leggett,
was a well known writer, and was editor, with William Cullen
Bryant, of the New York Evening Post for a number of years.
Educated at Georgetown College, D. C, Leggett was appointed
a midshipman in the United States Navy in 1822, but finding a
literary life more to his taste, resigned his commission in 1826
and returned to New York. In 1828 he was made editor of the
Critic, a weekly journal which was afterwards united with the
New York Mirror. He became one of the editors of the Evening
Post in 1829 and remained with the Post until ill health forced him
to resign in 1836. He sought to regain his health by rest and
travel in Europe, but without success, and returning to America,
died at his home in New Rochelle, May 29, 1839.
His published works include: Leisure Hours at Sea, a volume
of poems written while in the navy; Tales by a Country School-
master, a collection of his articles which had appeared in the
Mirror and other magazines; Sketches at Sea; and many other
poems and sketches. He was an earnest advocate of the rights
of free discussion and strongly denounced those who mobbed the
abolitionists in 1835. His editorial work on the Post was of a very
high order, his articles being exceptionally vigorous and direct.
Mr. Sedgwick, in his Editorials of the Evening Post, says of him:
" The intellect of Mr. Leggett was of a very high order. . . .
His reading was extremely copious and his style most vigorous
and manly. . . . Nothing could be in greater contrast with
the vehemence of his writings than the mildness and courtesy
of his social life. . . ."

Mr. Leggett was intimately associated with Bryant in his
work on the Post, and an editorial by Bryant at the time of his
resignation shows the high esteem which Bryant had for him and
for his talents, an esteem which is further emphasized in Bryant's
later editorial and poem on his death. In his early death the
world at large, as well as his many friends and admirers, sustained
an irreparable loss.

Joseph4 Leggett resided in New York City, and was in the
mercantile business at 379 Pearl Street. He and his wife were
Friends and the births of all their children, with the exception of
the two eldest, are recorded in the Society of Friends, New York
Joseph Leggett died of the " malignant fever " in the epidemic of
of 1S03.
Aaron6 Leggett (No. 138), son of Joseph Leggett, was born in
New York City, Nov. 4, 1792. He was a prominent merchant,
and for a number of years was in the dry goods business in Pearl
Street. In 1832 he became interested in Mexico, and was induced
to introduce steamboats upon certain rivers there. He established
a commercial house at San Juan Bautista, in the state of Tabasco,
March, 1832. He purchased and fitted out a steamboat and
several brigs and schooners for the shipping of logwood, for which
contracts were made for several years supply. When his steam-
ship arrived in Tabasco a civil war was in progress and the
commandant seized Leggett's ship and used it for government
purposes. It was later accidentally sunk. This forced Leggett
to cancel his contracts and close out his business in Mexico. He
put in a claim for damages against the Mexican government for
nearly $800,000. In 1834 Mr. Leggett went to Mexico and pre-
sented this claim in person, but after two years spent in vainly
endeavoring to secure a settlement, he was forced to give up the
struggle, return to the United States, and leave our government
to follow it up at their convenience. In 1839 the American com-
missioners awarded him some $478,000 with accrued interest
amounting to about $200,000 but the umpire reduced this sum to
a little less than $100,000, which Leggett refused to accept In
1848 the claim was still before the House for settlement and some
agreement was finally reached. The terms of the final settlement
are not known, but Mr. Leggett must have received a fairly large
sum, as at his death he disposed of a large fortune by his will
Mr. Leggett never married, and at his death his property was
divided amongst his nephews and nieces. His death occurred
between March 13, 1857, the date of the codicil to his will, and
April 24, i860, the date of probate, but the exact date is not known.

NEW YORK "KNICKERBOCKER" FAMILIES;
ORIGIN AND SETTLEMENT.
By Joel N. Eno, A. M.(
Though Verrezzani in 1524 probably entered the lower bay,
Henry Hudson, captain in the employ of the Dutch East India
Company, in Sept., 1609, guided the first ship, the Half Moon,
past Manhattan, and up the Hudson river nearly to Albany. The
company began a trading post, called Mannahatta (Manhattan)
in 1614; and in 161 5 another at Fort Orange (now Albany). In
1624, the Dutch West India Company made a permanent settle-
ment on Manhattan; it sent Peter Minuits as governor, who
arrived 1625 with a company who settled Breukelen (Brooklyn).
In 1629, the West India Company inaugurated a system of
settlement by what are now called manors, somewhat like the
plantation system of Virginia, with Wouter Van Twiller as agent,
to buy tracts from the Indians, and then to grant to the leaders
of colonies, who were called patroons, each a manor with 16 miles
front on the rivers, and extending back as far as needed. Minuits
was recalled in 1633, and led a Swedish colony to Delaware in
1638; Van Twiller governed till 1638, Wm. Kieft from 1638 till
1647, and Peter Stuyvesant from 1647 till 1664, when the Dutch
surrendered their claims to the Duke of York. Col. Nichols
governed till 1667; Lovelace, from 1667 till 1674, succeeded in Oct.,
1674, by Sir Edmund Andros; he by Col. Thomas Dongan, 1683;
he in 1688 by Francis Nicholson, who in 1689 was imprisoned by
Jacob Leisler till March, 1691, when Col. Sloughter, the new royal
governor, arrived; Fletcher succeeded in 1692; the Earl of
Bellamont in 1698, and so on, a succession of royal governors till
the Revolution. The Dutch settlements were mostly confined
to the Hudson valley below Troy, and western Long Island, with
a few in northeastern New Jersey, for the early immigration was
not nearly as large nor as widely distributed as that to Massa-
chusetts, though drawn, from the whole south coast of the North
Sea. The settlers belonged mainly to the Dutch Reformed
church, Presbyterian in organization, but there was general
toleration of religious beliefs.

N. B. — The regular mode of forming family names in the
Low Countries or Netherlands (Holland and Belgium), as in
Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Iceland was patronymic; that is,
the Christian-name of the father was the basis of the last name
of the son; so Remsen, the son of Rem(mert) Jansen; the ending —
sen, the same as son, in English John-son, is varied to -zen, and
often shortened to -se; as in Jan-se=son of Jan (Eng. John);
Dirck-se, son of Didrik or Dcdrick; Teunis-se, son of Teunis
(Antony); but this mode resulting in many duplicate names,
there grew into use, as a temporary expedient for distinguishing
between duplicate names, the affixing of the native place of each;

By various deeds, quit-claims, etc., recorded in several volumes
of York Deeds it is proved conclusively that Joseph2 Moulton (son
of Thomas of Hampton, N. H., and York, Me.), who was taken
captive by the Indians, had sons (Col.) Jeremiah (called Jr.) "the
great Indian Warrior," Joseph, John and (Capt.) Daniel. That
Joseph Moulton of Portsmouth and the Joseph mentioned above
as son of Joseph2 were identical, is proved by the following extract
from York, Me., Deeds, Vol. X., Fol. 45: "Joseph Moulton of Ports-
mouth " N. H., " for himself and as attorney in behalf of his brother,
Daniel Moulton " " of Portsmouth, acquits and discharges Jeremiah
Moulton, Sr., his heirs," etc. "and fully and freely" etc. "makes

NOTE.
Early Settlers of New Jersey.— Mr. Orra E. Monnette of 3101
Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California, genealogist and compiler of the
" Monnet Family Genealogy," and a member of the New York Gen. and Biog.
Society, has undertaken the compilation of a work to include the first settlers
of Piscataway and VVoodbridge, New Jersey, and to extend to the first two or
three generations thereof. If the plan is well received it may be extended to
include the first settlers of Elizabethtown. This undertaking is in the interest
of genealogy from the broad standpoint. It is an unselfish undertaking and
not for the purpose of financial return. Therefore, all genealogists and others
interested in these localities will render a positive and permanent service to
genealogy by furnishing to Mr. Monnette all data and sources of information
known to them concerning these first settlers, as it is desired to- make the work
as accurate and authentic as possible.
BOOK REVIEWS.
By John R. Totten.
Editorial Note:— The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society solicits as
donations to its Library all newly published works on Genealogy, History and Biography, as well
as all works on Town, County and State History, or works embodying information regarding the
Vital Records of any and all localities. It also solicits the donation to the manuscript collections
of its library any and all manuscript compilations which bear upon the above mentioned topics.
In consideration of such donations the works so presented to the Society will be at once
placed upon the shelves of its library and will be reviewed in the next subsequent issue of The
New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, each donation of such character,
whether in printed or manuscript form, will be reviewed under the head of " Book Notices" ana
a copy of The Record containing the review will be sent to the donor.
The Society does not solicit donations of publications or manuscripts on topics foreign to
the above mentioned subjects, as its library is specialized and cannot accommodate material
which does not bear directly upon its recognized sphere of usefulness.
Donations for review in the January issue of The Record should be delivered to the
Society before December 1st of the previous year; for the April issue, before March 1st; for the
July issue before June 1st; and for the October issue, before September 1st.
All donations will be generously reviewed with a view of calling the attention of the public
to their good points; but, while generous, the reviews will contain such proper criticism as the
interest of the genealogical student would expect from the editorial staff of The Record.
The "Book Notices" of The Record are carefully read by all librarians as well as
genealogical students, and the review of a work in The Record is equivalent to a special
advertisement of such work.
Letters of transmittal of donations of such works should embody the price of the work
donated and the name and address of the person from whom it can be purchased.

paid. No single volume will be sold. The set can be had at a small reduction.
Address the compiler at 9 West 49th Street, New York City.
We had the pleasure of reviewing Vol. II. of this monumental work in 1907,
and, although eight years have passed, during which we have eagerly awaited
the present volume, it is with no less interest that genealogists generally will
welcome it advent. It is largely with Monmouth County that the work deals,
with two incursions into other states, that of Bray of Kinderhook, N. Y. and of
Yarmouth, Mass. Family names to whom extensive space has been given are
Applegate, Ashton, Bowne, Brown, Burrowes, Campbell, Chamberlain, Coward,
Cox, Crawford, Curtis. Dorset, Eaton, Edwards, Fitz Randolph, Grover,
Hartshorne, Holmes, Huet, Kearny, Lawrence, Learning, Leeds, Lippit and

to the value of the work. Congratulations are due the compiler and are hereby
extended in behalf of students of New Jersey records. H. s. m.

This volume follows the plan heretofore pursued in this series. Sprinkled
through the text, however, will be found tricks of all armorial bearings and
rubbings of the old brasses and a view of the Heme Church. Historic notes
concerning this church and that of Reculver are incorporated from The Ancient
Church and Roman Castrutn of Reculver by the late George Dowker, F.G.S.,
loll, and from Memorials of Heme, by the late Rev. J. R. Buchanan. Attention
is called to the " wanton destruction by fire a few days ago of the parish church
of Wargrave-on-Mames" as an instance of how important is the preservation
of such material as is contained in this book. H. s. M.

cloth, pp. 670, with Index and Appendix. 1910. Price §2. 00. Apply to Miles
O. Sherrill, State Librarian, Raleigh, N. C.
This work contains an abstract of every will found in the above office.
These mention the name of the testator, place of residence, names of wife,
children, legatees, witnesses, probate officer, etc., and also the names of planta-
tions mentioned and remarkable items or noteworthy passages in wills. Arranged
in alphabetical order the facts about any one item are easily acquired. It is
noted that the earliest ^will is dated 1663 and that few were found before 1690.
It was about 1700 that the keeping of wills was first ordered and in 171 5 the
General Assembly passed an act confirming all wills which had been theretofore
proved and the administration thereof. The act also provided for the better
regulation of these matters.
The preparation of the abstracts has been well performed and in all cases
reaches a lucid conclusion. The work will not only prove an interesting but a
helpful agency to searchers after genealogical lore. H. s. M.
The Wright Family. A Genealogical Record of the Descendants of
Peter Wright from 1740 to 1914. Compiled by Fred Philo Wright of Oswego,
N. Y. Pamphlet, pp. 34. Price $2.00. Address compiler.
An interesting brochure. Peter Wright was of Hempstead, L. I., where he
was born July 9, 1740, and was married at St. George's Church there January
9, 1761 to Elizabeth Baker, born in North Kingston, R. I., March 28, 1743.
These dates are given in the hope that they may catch the eye of some des-
cendant, for it is not known to which family he belonged. It would seem that
he did not come of the Wrights of Oyster Bay of whom an extended notice was
printed in the N. Y. Ge?i. &> Biog. Record of Jan. 1872. The compiler suggests
that the Flushing family may be the right line. As the records there were des-
troyed by fire we would advise that Quaker and Presbyterian records of that
place be examined, these being the earliest in date. Besides the usual genea-
logical data the text is supplied with the military history of the members of the
family and a directory of descendants now living whose addresses are known.
Altogether a worthy effort. H. s. H.

Connecticut Avenue, Washington, D. C.
This is a painstaking genealogy of the Grow family, in which we notice
especially the unusually large amount of detailed biographical matter concern-
ing many members of the family. In this book we note with commendation
that doubtful points are clearly indicated as such with the author's conclusions.
This discrimination certainly gives authority to the work, and immensely aids
the future searcher in this family line. A tone of thoroughness and authority
pervades the book, which is well indexed. w. L. B.
History of the Society of Descendants of Robert Bartlet of
Plymouth, Mass. Compiled by Marian Longfellow, Historian of the Society
Loring-Axtell Co., Springfield, Mass. 8vo., cloth, pp. 114, ill. Price, cloth $1,
paper $ .75, of Mrs. E. B. Suhanek, 81 Pearl St. Holyoke, Mass.
This book is not, as one is apt to assume, a genealogy, except in a very
limited sense. It is the story of the development of the Bartlet Society with
the records and addresses of its meetings. The illustrations are excellent, and
descendants of the Plymouth Bartletts can hardly afford to be without a copy
of the book. w. L. b.

GlLDERSLEEVES OF GILDERSLEEVE, CONN., AND THE DESCENDANTS OF
Philip Gildersleeve, by Willard Harvey Gildersleeve. 8vo., cloth, pp. Si,
ill. Limited edition of 75 copies. $3 post paid of the author at 894 Broad St.,
Meriden, Conn.
The fortunes of the Gildersleeve family are more than ordinarily interest-
ing. Taking part in the Puritan migration from Watertown, Mass., to Connecti-
cut, the family is found well established in Long Island at the opening of the
American Revolution. The disaster to the American arms at Brooklyn Heights
forced them to sail from Sag Harbor to Connecticut, where they settled on the
river at a place now bearing the village name of Gildersleeve. There the
family has for generations carried on the business of shipbuilding.
The book is clearly arranged, well indexed and a credit to author and
publisher. w. L. B.
A Quaker's Visit to Hartford in the Year 1676. Ed. by Frank
D. Andrews, Vineland, N. J. Pamphlet, pp. 13, 25 cents a copy.
This is a most interesting account of a visit of William Edmundson, car-
penter, Commonwealth soldier and Quaker, to the town of Hartford, then of
about one thousand population. The whole story suggests the apostle Paul in
its sea voyage on the Sound, its side-journey to Hartford under a Heavenly
command, and its spiritual message in the two churches of Hartford. Edmund-
son's talks after the regular services in the churches suggests St. Paul in the
synagogues on the Areopagus. w. L. B.

Phiz and Dickens as they appeared to Edgar Browne with original
illustrations by Hablot K. Browne. 8vo. cloth, pp. 320 including index. New
York, 1914. Dodd, Mead & Company, 4th Ave. & 30th St, New York City.
Price $4.00 net.
In this book Mr. Edgar Browne, son of the late Hablot K. Browne ("Phiz"),
gives an account of the Dickens circle from the intimate standpoint of a con-
temporary, and new light is thrown by his narrative on many points in Forster's
" Life." In addition to his work for Dickens, " Phiz " produced illustrations for
many, if not most, of the chief figures in early Victorian literature: and among
the names of his acquaintances evoked in these pages are those of Macready,
the Keans, Phelps, Robson, Mulready, Chas. Lever, Harrison Ainsworth and
Thackeray.
A large number of characteristic illustrations by " Phiz," in the possession
of the author, are now reproduced for the first time. Recommended to His-
torical and general reference libraries.
The Duchesse De Chevreuse. A life of Intrigue and Adventure in
the days of Louis XIII, by Louis Batiffol. 8vo., cloth, pp. 354, illustrated.
Dodd, Mead & Co., 30th St., & 4th Ave., New York City. Price S3.00 net.
In writing this life of the brilliant Marie de Rohan, Duchesse de Chevreuse,
who was Cardinal Richelieu's famous opponent, the author has given a pictur-
esque and lifelike atmosphere to his book by writing it, not as a chronicle of
events, but rather as if it were a story. In this way the personages who figure
in this famous French lady's life acquire an aspect of reality. Louis XIII,
Cardinal Richelieu, courtiers, generals, churchmen, and other famous figures
of the time, appear and re-appear during life of its heroine. In this way, by
writing fact as if it were fiction, the facts become picturesque and most enter-
taining. Recommended to all historical and general reference libraries.
