Contributed by John R. Totten.
That the United States of America is a field that offers unsur-
passed opportunities for success to crown individual effort in the
struggle for wealth, is the often expressed opinion of enthusiastic,
patriotic citizens of this land. That such an expression of belief is
not merely an empty, self-sufficient assertion, but a positive demon-
strable fact, is made evident by a brief review of the life and career
of Andrew Carnegie, the foremost iron-master of his tmie, the
phenomonally successful business man, the financier, the world
known philanthropist, and in later years the author and man of
letters: — a man who, within the short space of fifty-three years of
active effort, developed from a penniless boy into the type of
colossal wealth of the twentieth century.
Andrew Carnegie was born on November 25, 1835, at Dunferm-
line, Fifeshire, Scotland. He was the elder son of William and
Margaret (Morrison) Carnegie of that town, a community largely
composed of old time hand-loom weavers. His father was a man of
strong character and was favorably known to his fellow townsmen
as a writer and speaker on matters of political interest ; he was a
master-weaver by trade, in those times of hand-loom weaving, own-
ing several looms, one of which he operated himself, while for the
others he employed hired operators. Prior to the time of the intro-
duction of steam in the weaving industry, William Carnegie main-
tained himself and family in comfortable circumstances ; but, when
steam was introduced as a motive power, he recognized that hand-
loom weaving was doomed, and he decided to sell out his small plant
and emigrate to the United States. It was with great reluctance that
he finally reached this decision, and the sale of his looms was made at
2 Andrew Carnegie. [Ja-i-
such sacrifice as to leave him almost without any funds to enable
him to take this step ; but, in order to give his two sons, Andrew and
Thomas Morrison, that better chance of success that he deemed
would be theirs under the influence of republican institutions, the
decision was made ; and in 1848, when Andrew, his son, was about
thirteen years old, with £ 10 borrowed from Andrew's mother's
brother, to defray the expenses of the trip, he sailed for this country
with his entire family consisting of himself, wife and two sons,
bound for Allegheny City, Pa., in which town the family at that time
had relatives. It will thus be seen that the family on arrival at their
destination was without capital, and in fact in debt for money bor-
rowed to make the trip. William Carnegie, the father, at once
entered a cotton factory as an operator and his son Andrew followed
him soon after into this same mill as a bobbin-boy, as his first employ-
ment, where by toiling from daylight to dark in a long twelve hour
laboring day he earned one dollar and twenty cents a week. Andrew,
while living at Dunfermline and attending school there, had acquired
a thorough grounding in reading, writing and arithmetic : and on
arriving at Allegheny City, through the kindness of Colonel Ander-
son, a gentleman of his town possessed of a large library, who loaned
books to working men and boys, he strove at odd moments to supple-
ment his Dunfermline schooling. The benefit that thus accrued to
him from Colonel Anderson's kindness was the seed that developed
into Andrew Carnegie's great philanthropy in endowing (in co-
operation with local municipal bodies) free libraries broadcast over
this land and many others. Colonel Anderson's benefaction imbued
his mind with a desire, which in time reached fruition, to imitate his
benefactor on a much larger scale.
Andrew, after a short service as bobbin-boy, received employ-
ment as stoker of the steam engine that drove the machinery of a
factory for the manufacture of bobbins, and shortly thereafter was
placed in charge of the engine itself, which occupation was one of
considerable responsibility for one of his tender years. It was dur-
ing his short sojourn as a bobbin-boy and as engine driver in the
bobbin factory that he gained practical knowledge of the then deplor-
able conditions surrounding labor, and especially that of child-labor,
which information laid the foundation of his introduction of many
reforms along these lines when later he became an employer of
labor himself.
Ambition soon secured for him the position of telegraph mes-
senger in the office of the Ohio Telegraph Company at Pittsburgh,
at the age of about fifteen, his wages in the position being $2.50 a
week. Mr. Brooks, who was the manager of the office, took an
interest in the boy and encouraged him to learn telegraphy. In a
short time young Carnegie learned to receive and send messages by
sound, a rare accomplishment in those early days — and he was
advanced to the position of an operator at a salary of $300 a year.
About this time, at the age of sixteen, he lost his father, and he
thus became the main support of his widowed mother.

When the Pennsylvania Railroad was completed to Pittsburgh,
the Superintendent of that road, Thomas A. Scott, frequently visited
the telegraph office in that city, and became acquainted with young
Carnegie, gaining a knowledge and appreciation of his merits and
capabilities. When this railroad system erected its own telegraph
lines, Mr. Scott engaged Carnegie as his clerk and operator at a
salary of $35.00 a month.
He remained with the Pennsylvania Road thirteen years, and
during that time originated the now universally used system of
running trains between "blocks," or stations by telegraphic sigTials,
for the purpose of maintaining the maximum of speed consistent
with safety of transit.
While still a boy he made his first investment venture, advising
his mother at Mr. Scott's suggestion, to buy ten shares of Adams
Express stock. The money for this venture was raised by Mrs.
Carnegie by mortgaging her home for almost its full value, $600,
with which money she purchased the stock. This stock paid a
monthly dividend of $1 a share and the monthly receipt of $10 from
this source opened the eyes of both mother and boy, who up to that
time had received no money that had not been the wage of personal
labor. It enlightened him as to the use of capital as a source of
income.
While travelling in the service of the Pennsylvania road, young
Carnegie met Thomas T. Woodruff, an inventor, who showed him a
model of a sleeping car of his invention. Carnegie at once perceived
the value of the invention, introduced Mr. Woodruff to Mr. Scott
and was instrumental in organizing the Woodruff Sleeping Car
Company. In order to secure an interest in this company, he bor-
rowed money from a local bank on his note of hand ; which demon-
strates the fact that his~probity was such as to have established his
credit at this early date ; this was his first note, and by its utterance
we see that he had by that time recognized the value of credit in
borrowing money at commercial rates in order to venture for large
profit on a sound business proposition. He was fortunate in this
investment in the Sleeping Car Company, his profit on the venture
is said to have been large and laid the foundation for his success in
several subsequent enterprises.
In i860 he induced Mr. Scott, then President of the Pennsyl-
vania road, and several others to join him in buying the Storey farm
on Oil Creek, Pa., where oil had been found the year before. They
purchased the property for $40,000; and, although Carnegie was
forced later to sell out one-third interest in this property, the shares
of the Company sold at a market value of $5,000,000 and he closed
out his interest therein for a quarter of a million.
At the outbreak of the Civil War, Colonel Scott, who had been
appointed Assistant Secretary of War, summoned Mr. Carnegie to
Washington and put him i'n charge of the military railroads and
government telegraph lines in the East. One of his first duties was
to open rail communications between Annapolis and the Capitol.
4 Andrew Carnegie. [Jan.
At the Battle of Bull Run, he was in charge of the rail communica-
tions and was the last official to leave for Alexandria.
Soon after this the Pennsylvania road made experiments in the
construction of bridges of cast iron. From the results of these
initial eflforts Mr. Carnegie became convinced that the use of this
material for bridge building purposes would become general. He,
accordingly in 1863, organized the Keystone Bridge Building Com-
pany, borrowing money to secure his share of the capital stock of the
Company, and started the Keystone Bridge Works. The first great
bridge over the Ohio River at Steubenville, with a 300 feet span, was
built by this Company.
During this time he had become interested in iron works and
had organized the Cyclops iron mill for the production of structural
iron for railroad bridges. Colonel Scott joined him in this enterprise,
which at the outset, owing to Andrew Carnegie's engrossment in
other business ventures, was not entirely successful. To consolidate
his interests and better organize the field of this industry, he took in
with him his brother Thomas Carnegie and his partner Henry Phipps,
and the union of these interests with the Cyclops mill, resulted in the
organization of the Union Iron Mills in 1865, under the control
of Andrew and Thomas Carnegie and Henry Phipps. The time was
ripe for the enterprise ; the Civil War had just ended and there was a
period of great business expansion. In 1867 Mr. Carnegie severed
his connection with the Pennsylvania road ; this year marks the time
when he ceased to work for others ; he began to work for himself ;
he had gained his ambition to become his own master and to carve
out his future along lines of his own selection. It was an era of
great railroad building; steel rails having become worth $80 to $100
a ton; Mr. Carnegie was recognized as the foremost iron-master of
the country, and the Union Iron Mills made large profits.
In 1868 he visited Europe, and while there investigated the merits
of the Bessemer process of steel manufacture; and, on his return to
this country, he introduced the process into his own mills.
Later he became the owner of the Homestead Steel Works at
Pittsburgh, and by the year 1888 had control of seven great plants,
all within a radius of five miles of Pittsburgh ; these plants were the
Homestead, the Edgar Thomson and the Duquesne Steel Works and
furnaces, the Lucy furnaces, the Keystone Bridge Works, the Upper
LTnion Rolling Mills and the Lower Union Rolling Mills, including
the Frick Company.
About the year 1890, Mr. Carnegie introduced into his mills the
system of paying for labor on a sliding scale, based upon the prices
obtained for the finished product ; thus making the workmen partners
in the plant and participators in the prosperity, and likewise the
absence of prosperity, in the business ; which system is apparently
a most equitable adjustment of the wage problem. Employes who
rendered exceptional services were rewarded by promotion and
given a personal interest in the business.
During Mr. Carnegie's personal control of this immense business
there was only one serious strike amongst his employes. This was the
Ig20.] Andrew Carnegie. C
Homestead strike which occurred in 1892, while Mr. Carnegie was
absent in Europe on his hoHday. He did not hear of the lamentable
riot that there occurred until days after it had taken place; and, on
hearing of it, at once telegraphed his willingness to return and
personally attempt to adjust the trouble. His partners urged him
not to return, and he did not. He was the subject of some criticism
at this time, but, viewing the matter through the perspective of nearly
30 years, it appears to have been one of the seemingly inevitable
struggles between capital and labor, which, after the unfortunate
incidents attendant upon such disturbances, are finally adjusted and
matters proceed upon a new basis of understanding.
He thus continued the controlling influence in the iron world un-
til 1901. At this time, which was a period of great business mergers,
the financial world, in emphatic recognition of the time honored
axiom that the prosperity of the world is measured directly by the
prosperity of the iron industry thereof, felt the time was ripe for the
endeavor to render stable the iron industry of the country in order
that its periodical fluctuations between prosperity and stagnation
should no longer be an influence in disturbing the general business
of the country. A syndicate was formed and the United States Steel
Corporation was organized, which merged large iron and steel
organizations under its corporate existence, and took over from Mr.
Carnegie all of his interests in the iron and steel industries that he
controlled, paying him for his personal holdings $315,000,000 in
5% first mortgage bonds on the entire property of the Corporation.
It has been thought by many and so stated in public print, that,
outside of his interests in the iron industry, Mr. Carnegie in 1901
was possessed of large capital in addition to his interests sold to the
Steel Corporation. Such belief and statements are not in accordance
with the existing facts. Mr. Carnegie had enunciated the dictum
that it was better to "put all of one's eggs into one basket and then
watch that basket." He had strictly adhered to that pronounced
belief ; and had put all of his capital into his iron and steel holdings,
and the sum total of his fortune in 1901 was represented in the
$315,000,000, he received in bonds from the Steel Corporation.
Had he allowed his capital to accumulate from 1901 until his
death, by gradual increase due to interest on his holdings (which have
■never defaulted in their interest) he would at the time of his death
(allowing $58,000,000, for current expenses during the 18 years
since 1901) have left the vast fortune of $700,000,000.
In 1901 Mr. Carnegie retired from active business. All during
his early and late business career, he had devoted as much time as
was available from his active business pursuits to the cultivation of
his natural, literary and artistic tastes. He had travelled extensively
and as early in life as the age of twenty-six, was a member of a
Literary Society, and towards middle life had developed into a
speaker of recognized ability and a prolific writer on political and
economic topics. After his retirement from active business, imtil
the close of his life, he devoted himself to the scientific distribution

of his surplus wealth in bettering the condition of mankind in this
atid other countries, and also in the further pursuit of those avoca-
tions, and the development of his natural literary and other tastes
to which his active participation in business had not enabled him to
entirely devote himself.
Such is in brief an outline of the career of a man who, starting
as a boy of thirteen without a penny, on arriving at the age of
sixty-six years had accumulated the colossal wealth of $315,000,000.
Mr. Carnegie, cognizant of the hardships which his parents
endured owing to their impoverished condition, started life with the
determination to acquire wealth in order to make life easier for them
and to likewise place himself in a position independent of the sordid
cares of every day existence. With the development of his mind,
as a result of experience and success, his views broadened as regards
the value and proper use of money. He became absorbingly in-
terested in the development of his business ventures, and strained
every effort in order that success should crown the work of his life.
The accumulation of wealth, at this time of his career, was incidental ;
the undisputed success of his business ventures was the goal of his
ambition. His ambition bore fruit ; he succeeded in his ventures and
incidentally gained great wealth. During the process of this develop-
ment there germinated in his mind the often expressed conviction that
the surplus wealth of an individual should be expended by him in
the betterment of the community in which it was acquired.
This review of his career also, at the same time, demonstrates
that in every situation he held, in every occupation or enterprise in
which he was engaged, he gave to it the best and all that there was
in him, in the hope and belief that this supreme individual effort
would swing the balance towards success. He was always mindful
of the interests of his associates in business, and of that of his sub-
ordinates and employes in general ; and he is said to have been
instrumental, by the recognition of merit, in making many million-
aires from among his associates and subordinates. He conducted
his large and small business ventures on the fixed principle of the
recognition of merit and the rewarding of such merit by advance-
ment and opportunity for betterment.
Mr. Carnegie inherited a love of books and an inclination
towards authorship from his father. He pays a glowing tribute to
his mother in the following words : "I owe a great deal to my
mother, she was companion, nurse, seamstress, cook and washer-
woman, and never until late in life had a servant in the house. Yet
she was a cultivated lady who taught me most of what I know."
In 1879, after his trip around the world, he gave to the public
his first book "Round the World," and in 1880, "Our Coaching
Trip" ; both of these works were originally printed for private dis-
tribution, but they excited so much interest that they were later
re-published for sale. His foremost important work was "Trium-
phant Democracy" or "Fifty Years March of the Republic," 1886-
1893. In i8qi he contributed to the New York Tribune an article
entitled "How to Get Rich," and in 1886 "Wealth and Its Uses"
1920.] Andrew Carnegie. 7
appeared ; in this work his principal contention was that "surplus
wealth is a sacred trust, which its possessor is bound to administer
in his lifetime for the good of the community from which it is
derived" ; in it he also gave utterance to one of his best known say-
ings, viz. : "the man who dies possessed of millions of available
wealth, which was free and his to administer during his lifetime dies
disgraced." Upon this principle he shaped the plan of his many
philanthropic benefactions. In 1902 he wrote "The Empire of
Business," and in 1906 "The Life of James Watts," and in 1909,
"Problems of To-day."
Within the limits of this brief and inadequate sketch of his
life, it is not possible to enumerate in detail Mr. Carnegie's many
public benefactions. Such detailed setting forth is the province of
his official biographer. Suffice it to say that at the time of his death
the leading journals of the day stated that his known gifts to mankind
along the lines laid down in "Wealth and Its Uses" amounted to
the vast sum, of $350,000,000. A contemplation of these figures
as,sures one that he made a great effort to live up to his published
utterances.
Mr. Carnegie's home after retirement was his residence at 91st
Street and Fifth Avenue, New York City ; a home that embodies all
that great wealth can secure and at the same time is one that stands
out prominently as the most homelike and modest (if such a struc-
ture can be regarded as modest) among the many palatial residences
of this city. His summer home was "Shadowbrook" estate at Lenox,
Massachusetts, and his home abroad was "Skibo Castle" in the
Highlands of Scotland, where he loved to spend much of his time.
On April 22, 1887, Mr. Carnegie was married to Louise Whit-
field (daughter of John and Frances (Davis) Whitfield of New
York City) by whom he had one child, a daughter, Margaret Car-
negie, who married April 22, 19 19, Ensign Roswell Miller, U. S.
Navy, a son of the former President of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul Railroad Company.
Andrew Carnegie died at his summer home in Lenox, on August
II, 19 19. He is survived by his widow and daughter.
He became an Annual Member of the New York Genealogical
and Biographical Society in 1893, and a Life Member in 1914; he
was a generous donor to the Society, and was interested in its better-
ment ; his interest lying more in the biographical field than in the
genealogical interests thereof. He, as he said himself "was more
interested in what a man had done than in what he genealogically
was."
This brief sketch is here given, not in any way pretending to be
an adequate review of the life of this great philanthropist, but as
an earnest tribute to the man, and to show that in Andrew Carnegie's
life and career the young American of to-day has a concrete example
of what is possible to be accomplished in the United States, within
the short period of fifty-three years, by one provided with natural
capacity supplemented by unity of purpose, energy and undeviating
determination to put into working every bit of the best that is in him.

Hon. Richard^ Christophers was a merchant trading between
New London and Barbadoes and other West Indian ports; he was
a practical mariner also, making frequent voyages in command
of his own ships in the prosecution of his commercial ventures. He
was associated in business with John^ Picket (John^) of New
London, Conn. The passage from Barbadoes to New London us-
ually took place from 18 to 30 days. Thomas Prentis and Richard'
Christophers were veterans in this trade. One of the vessels of
Captain Richard^ Christophers bore the happy name of his two
daughters, Grace and Ruth. Two brigantines, also styled ships, the
AdvetJhire and the Society of 65 and 68 tons burden respectively,
and both built in Great Britain were owned in 1698 by John Picket
and Richard Christophers. The value of such vessels when new
was about £500. Some of the plate in the Communion Service
of the First Congregational Church of New London bears the
inscription: "Presented by the owners of the Sloop Adventure in
1699."
Richard^ Christophers was appointed Town Clerk of New Lon-
don in 1701 and served as such until 1706, inclusive. His name was
fourth on the list of patentees, in the patent granted the town of
New London by his Majesty Charles H of England, through the
Governor and his Company at Hartford, Oct. 14, 1704 — his name
being preceded by those of John Winthrop, Waite Winthrop, and
Daniely Wetherell.
In July, 1694, Richard^ Christophers was appointed one of a
committee by the town of New London "to agree with workmen
for building the new meeting-house, and managing the whole con-
cern about it." In 1726 he was appointed first (senior) townsman
of New London ; and at his death in that same year, he left a large
estate to his wife, his two sons and seven daughters who survived
him. Hempstead in his diary (a very ancient manuscript, now in
the possession of the New London County Historical Society, all
parts of which have been recovered and the complete manuscript
published in full by the Society) says that on the occasion of Mr.
Richard'' Christophers' funeral (Saturday, June 11, 1726), "The
Great Ship fired 26 great guns at one half minute distance, there
were six bearers." A description of the "Great Ship" will be found
in Caulkin's History of New London, p. 242.
The Superior Court was held for the first time in New London
in 171 1. No Court House having then been erected, the session
was held in the meeting-house. Before this year the Superior Court
had only sat at New Haven and at Hartford. In 171 1, it was made
lO Christophers Family. [Jan.
a Circuit Court, each County having two sessions annually. Richard
Christophers was one of the Assistant Judges of this Court.
In addition to his private business and town offices, Richard^
Christophers was a man much employed in the affairs of New Lon-
don County and in those of the Colony of Connecticut; he was in
fact one of the most prominent and important men of his time in
the Colony, as will be seen from the following summary of his
Colonial activities, as taken from the published Records of the
Colony, viz. :
Assistant to the Governor 1699 and 1703 to 1722, inclusive. In
1723 owing to failing health he withdrew from public life. Com-
missioner for the County of New London to the General Assembly
1690-1697, inclusive. Commissary (military office) of the County
of New London, 1690 and 1693. Justice of the Peace, 1701-1702.
Deputy to the General Assembly to represent New London, 1691,
1693. Judge of the County Court of New London, 1709-1716,
inclusive and in 1720, 1721, Judge of Probate for the District of
New London, 171G-1721. Judge of Superior Court of Connecticut
Colony, 1711-1721, inclusive. On Committee to audit accounts of
the Colonial Treaurer, 1703-1721, inclusive. And in addition to
these specific duties he sat as a member of the Court of the Gov-
ernor and Council at frequent sessions during the various years of
his public life and served as a member of all of the most important
committees appointed by the Colonial legislation of Connecticut.
His will is to be found recorded in the 5th Book of Wills at
New London, folio 155-157. Will was dated July 13, 1720, with
codicil dated Feb. 7, 1721-22, and was proved Aug. 8, 1726. In it
he mentions his wife Grace, sons Christopher and Richard, and
daughters Mary Gray (widow of John Gray, deceased), Grace,
Lydia, Ruth, Joanna, Lucretia and Lucy. In the codicil dated Feb.
7, 1721-2 he makes modified provision for his daughter Lydia "who
married last May" (i. e., May 9, 1721). Wife Grace was made sole
Executrix.

5-6. The two children'^ (Hon. Christopher^), b. between April 3,
1662, and the year 1673, to the "widow Bradley," the father
being Christopher^ Christophers.
By reference to Caulkin's History of New London, p. 251, it
appears from the Records of the County Court of New London
for the year 1673 that the "Widow Bradley" [Elizabeth (Brewster)
Bradley, widow of Peter' Bradley of New London] had two chil-
dren by Christopher' Christophers, born out of wedlock, the last one
bom in 1673 and the first one born previous to that date. We find
I920.J Christophers Family. I |
no further mention of these children in the New London records
and it would therefore seem probable that they both died young.
Moreover, the sex of these two children is not mentioned. The
hypothesis of their death in childhood is not however established by
any direct evidence. If they lived it is to be presumed that these
children were known by definite surnames ; and, in as much as they
were born of the "Widow Bradley," it is probable that they bore
the surname Bradley. Peter^ Bradley d. April 3, 1662, and it was
between that date and the year 1673 that these two children were
born. Peter- Bradley, the only son of Peter^ Bradley d. Aug. i,
1687, leaving only one child Christopher^ Bradley, b. July 11, 1679.
These two illegitimate children of the "Widow Bradley" were then
of about the same age as Christopher^ Bradley (the grandson of
Peter^ Bradley). By reference to record No. 16 of the Descend-
ants of Jeffery^ Christophers, it will be seen that a William Bradley
(whose parentage has not as yet been determined) m. previous
to May 19, 1702, to Mary' (Corey) ? (as her second husband).
Assuming this William Bradley was at least 21 years old (and
probably older) at marriage, he must have been born prior to May
19, 1681 (and probably some years prior to that year). Who was
this William Bradley whose parentage and origin we know nothing
of?
Could he have been one of these two children born to the
"Widow Bradley" whose father was Christopher^ Christophers?

II. Christopher^ Br.adley (Mary- Christophers, Hon. Chris-
topher^).
Before elaborating the record of Christopher^ Bradley, I will
herewith set forth my reasons for his record as subsequently
recorded :
I. Caulkins' History of New London, p. 278, states that Peter^
Bradley (Peter') d. in 1687, leaving but one child, a son Christopher^
Bradley, b. July 11. 1679; and that the Count\- Court summarily
settled Peter- Bradley's estate, giving the widow £300. and the son
Christopher^ Bradley £590. On page 279 of same authority, we see
that in 1730 Jonathan* Bradley, of Southold, N. Y., son of Chris-
topher^ Bradley, deceased, sold the remnant of the land he held in
New London (by heritance from his father) for £500 to Daniel
Tuthill.
2. Jonathan* Bradley (Christopher'') of Southold. N. Y.,
made his will July 31, 1739. which was proved Nov. 23. 1739 (Liber
13, p. 442 of Wills, and E. D. Harris' Long Island Epitaphs, p. 40),
and in it he mentions his sons Peter and Grant, and daughters Mary,
Mehitable. Hannah and Martha, and his brother-in-law Lieut. Con-
stant Booth and his brother Daniel Tuthill.
3. The Horfon Genealogy, by George F. Horton, p. 12, states
that Jonathan- Horton (Barnabas') m. Bethia Wells, and had a
daughter Mehitable^ Horton, who married first to Peter Bradley,
and second to Deacon Daniel Tuthill.
4. The Neiv York Historical Society Wills, Vol. 1708-1728, p.
4. gives the will of Jonathan- Horton, dated Feb. 21, 1706-7, proved
June 2. 1708: and in it the testator mentions "my daughter Mehitable,
wife of Daniel Tuthill."
14 Christophers Family. . [Jan.
5. Nexv York Gen. & Biog. Record, Vol. XXIX, pp. 215-16,
states that Daniel* Tuthill (John,^ Henry,^ Henry^) of Southold,
N. Y., b. Jan. 23, 1679; d. Dec. 7, 1762; m. , 1705 (or 1706, ac-
cording to Moore's Index of Southold, p. 91) Mehitable' Horton
(Jonathan,^ Barnabas'), b. Feb. 17, 1679; d. Sept. 7, 1757. And also
states that Mehitable^ Horton was the widow of Peter Bradley when
she married Daniel Tuthill, who was a Deacon in the Southold
Church ; and that Mehitable^ Horton by her second husband. Deacon
Daniel* Tuthill, had a son DanieP Tuthill, b. Jan. 15, 1712.
6. Moore's Index of Southold, N. Y ., p. 7, states that Peter''
Bradley (Peter' of New London), had a son Christopher, and per-
haps a son Peter (note that Moore says perhaps, while Caulkins, p.
278 states positively that Peter- Bradley had but one child, a son
Christopher^ Bradley).
The known genealogical tree of Peter' Bradley, of New London,
and his descendants is as follows :
1 Peter' Bradley, b. ; d. April 3, 1662; m. Sept. 7, 1683,
Elizabeth' Brewster (Jonathan,'^ Elder William'), b. May i,
1637 ; d. , 1708.
Children: 4 (Bradley): Elizabeth,^ Hannah,- Peter," Lu-
cretia" (note that there is but one son).
2 Peter" Bradley (only son), b. Sept. 7, 1658; d. Aug. i, 1687;
m. May 9, 1678, Mary" Christophers (Christopher'), b. ,
1657; d. July 4, 1724, aged 67.
Child: I (Bradley) son, Christopher.^
3 Christopher' Bradley, b. July 11, 1679; d. ?; m. ?
who was born ; d. .
Children: 2 (Bradley) sons: Jonathan* (see Caulkins' His-
tory of New London, p. 279, and Moore's Index, p. 59) ;
James,* b. , 1704-5; d. Feb. 6, 1724-5, aged 20 (see
Moore's Index, p. 59) who d. a minor unmarried and hence
left no issue.
4 Jonathan* Bradley (only son that reached maturity), b.
d. (before Nov. 23, 1739, date of probate of his will)
m. , 1722, Mary Booth, b. Aug. 27, 1703; d. , 1738
Children: 6 (Bradley): Peter,,^ Grant,^ Mary,= Mehitable,'
Hannah,'^ Martha-' (see A^. Y. G. & B. Record. Vol. XXXH,
P- 239).
The question now is who was the Peter Bradley that the Horton
Genealogy, p. 12, and the Tuthill Genealogx, by Miss Lucy D.
Akerly (A^. Y. Gen. & Biog. Record, Vol. XXIX, pp. 215-16) state
married Mehitable' Horton as her first husband?
From the above genealogical tree of the Bradleys, we find no
Peter Bradley who was born early enough to have married Mehit-
able' Horton as her first husband, and who died early enough for
her to have married in 1705 (or 1706) to Daniel* Tuthill as her sec-
ond husband. Mehitable' Horton, herself, was born Feb. 17, 1679,
and her first husband (according to Horton Genealogy, p. 12, and
I920.] Christophers Family. I C
N. Y. Gen. & Biog. Record, Vol. XXIX, p. 215-16), Peter Brad-
ley, must have been born fully as early, if not earlier (i. e., 1679 or
earlier). On consulting the above tree we see that the only male
Bradley born about that time whose marriage is not otherwise ac-
counted for is Qiristopher'^ Bradley (only child and only son of
Peter' Bradley, who in turn was the only son of Peter^ Bradley).
This Christopher^ Bradley was born July 11, 1679, and was of a
proper and suitable age to become the husband of Mehitable' Horton.
And furthermore, we are unable to find a Peter Bradley who could
have been the first husband of Mehitable'' Horton.
The statement made in the Horton Genealogy, p. 12, and like-
wise in the N. Y. Gen. & Biog. Record, Vol. XXIX, pp. 215-16, that
a Peter Bradley was the first husband of Mehitable^ Horton is not
supported by any quoted authority, and we do not know upon what
argument said statement was made. On the other hand, Moore's
Index of Southold, p. 91, states that Mehitable^ Horton (Jonathan^)
married Daniel* Tuthill, and does not state that, at the time of her
marriage to Daniel* Tuthill, she was the widow of a Peter Bradley
(nor in fact does Moore state that she was a widow of any one else).
It therefore appears that the statement that Mehitable' Horton's
first husband was a Peter Bradley is not based upon a foundation
of positive recorded evidence to that effect, but that there seems to
have been an established belief that she was a widow of some Brad-
ley at the time of her second marriage in 1705 (or 1706) to Daniel*
Tuthill. So much therefore in refutation of the statement that
Mehitable^ Horton's first husband was Peter Bradley.
Jonathan* Bradley (Christopher^) in his will, calls Daniel Tut-
hill his brother. How could Daniel Tuthill have been the brother
of Jonathan* Bradley? Daniel* Tuthill was born Jan. 23, 1679. and
died Dec. 7, 1762, and married in 1705 (or 1706) to Mehitable^ Hor-
ton, who was at the time of her marriage to I>aniel* Tuthill, the
widow of a Mr. Bradley (by some said to have been a Peter Brad-
ley, with which statement we disagree, as there was no contem-
poraneous Peter Bradley of whom she could have been the widow)
and by his marriage to Mehitable (Horton) Bradley, Daniel* Tuthill
had a son DanieP Tuthill, born Jan. 15, 1712. From the above gene-
alogical Bradley tree, the only way to account for Jonathan* Bradley
calling Daniel Tuthill brother is under the hypothesis that Jonathan*
Bradley was the son of Christopher' Bradley by Mehitable' Horton,
and she by her second marriage to Daniel* Tuthill had a son Daniel'*
Tuthill who would be a half-brother of Jonathan* Bradley, and
which fully accounts for calling him brother in the will. Jonathan*
Bradley also calls Constant Booth brother-in-law, which is correct,
as Jonathan* Bradley married Mary Booth, sister of Constant Booth.
In my study of the records of Southold, I have been unable to
find any direct evidence of the date of death of Christopher' Brad-
ley; nor is there any direct evidence of the maiden surname or bap-
tismal name of his wife. We know, however, from Caulkins, p.
279, and from Moore's Index, p. 59, that he did marry and had the
1 6 Christophers Family. IJa^n.
two above mentioned children, Jonathan* and James* ; and from the
fact that Jonathan* Bradley calls DanieP Tuthill his brother (mean-
ing his half-brother), it is clear and proven beyond question that the
first husband of Mehitable^ Horton was Christopher^ Bradley (son
of Peter- Bradley, of New London), and that Mehitable^ Horton's
first husband was not Peter Bradley, as stated in Horton Genealogy,
p. 12, and the N. Y. Gen. & Biog. Record, Vol. XXIX, pp. 215-6.
Christopher^ Bradley married probably about or after July 11,
1700, as at that time he would be of age, and August 24, 1700, he
received his estate from the hands of his step-father, Thomas
Youngs (see copy of receipt by him to Thomas Youngs under record
No. 3 of the descendants of Christopher^ Christophers).
Based upon the argument as above set forth, the following is the
record of Christopher^ Bradlly, viz. :
II. Christopher^ Bradley (Mary^ Christophers, Hon. Chris-
topher*), b. July II, 1679, at New London, Conn.; he lived at
New London until after his father's death in 1687, and removed
to Southold, N. Y., with his mother, when she became the wife
of Thomas Youngs; d. - — — • (subsequent to 1703-4, for the rea-
son that his son James* Bradley d. Feb. 6, 1724-5, aged 20, and
hence was b. about 1704-5, and he, Christopher, must have been
alive fully 9 months previous to 1704-5 to have begotten this son
James* Bradley; his widow Mehitable (Horton) Bradley m. a
second time to Daniel* Tuthill early enough to have a child b.
Sept. 9, 1706; and 9 months earlier than Sept. 9, 1706, is Dec. 9,
1705 ; all of which places the date of his death about 1703-4 or
perhaps 1705) ; he d. at Southold, N. Y., probably, although we
have no record of his death and no stone marks his grave. He
married (probably soon after Aug. 24, 1700, when he was
a little over 21 years old and when he received his estate from
his step- father, Thomas Youngs), at Southold, N. Y. (prob-
ably) to Mehitable Horton (as her first husband), b. Feb. 17,
1679, at Southold, N. Y. ; d. Sept. 7. 1757, at Southold, N. Y.
She was a daughter of Jonathan Horton (b. Feb. 23, 1648; d.
Feb. 23, 1707; m. , 1672, about) and his wife Bethia Wells
b. ; d. April 14, 1733; daughter of William Wells, one of
the first settlers of Southold, N.'Y.), of Southold, N. Y.
Children: 2 (Bradley) sons, both born at Southold, N. Y.
-[-42 i. Jonathan,* b. , after 1700; d. , after July
31, 1739 (date of will) and before Nov. 23, 1739
(date of probate of will) ; m. Mary Booth.
43 ii. James,* b. — — , 1704-5 ; d. Feb. 6, 1724-5, aged 20,
at Southold, N. Y. ; not married.
The following is the record of Christopher^ Bradley as taken
from Moore's Inde.v of Southold, p. 59, viz. :
"Bradley, Christopher (son of Peter^ and grandson of Peter* of
New London), b. , 1679; probably had children, brothers or
igzo.] Christophers Family. \ "J
relatives (after 1698) , viz. : Jonathan, who married Mary Booth in
1622 ; she died in 1738, and he died in 1739, leaving a will (his son

6, 1724-5, aged 20."
"1697. Christopher Bradley, witness to deed of Petty to T.

"1698. Christopher Bradley, living with or near Thomas Youngs
of Southold, his step-father."
"1700. Christopher Bradley, acknowledges payment of his leg-
acies (from his father) by Thomas Youngs (Town Records South-
old, Vol. II, pp. 207-8, 524)."
Mehitable (Horton) Bradley, widow of Christopher' Bradley, m.
(2) , 1705 (or 6) (her first child by this marriage was b. Sept.
9, 1706) at Southold, N. Y., probably, to Daniel* Tuthill, b. Jan. 23,
1679, at Southold, N. Y. ; he was a deacon in the church there; d.
Dec. 7, 1762, at Southold, N. Y. He was a son of John Tuthill (b.
July 16, 1635; d. Oct. 12, 1717; m. Feb. 17, 1657) and his first wife.

Daniel Tuthill. the second husband of Mehitable (Horton) Brad-
ley, was the Daniel Tuthill, to whom Jonathan* Bradley, in 1730, sold
his land in New London for £500.
Hempstead's Diary, p. 163, states : Under date of Dec. 9, 1725 :
"In the morn I dd Jonat Bradly i pr. gr. stones for his grandmother
& I pr at the burying ground for his grand father." [dd probably
means delivered.] The two stones "for his grandfather" were those
for Peter^ Bradley, who lies interred in the Old Burying Ground,
New London. Those for "his grandmother" were for Mary^
(Christophers) Bradley- Youn<rs-Lynde which are located in the
Burying Ground in Southold Village.

in 1722, and Baptist and Episcopal Societies in 1726. It was then no
longer practicable to transact ecclesiastical business by towns, but
by districts of townships, and a society was organized which took
the name of the "First Ecclesiastical Society of New London," as
belonging to the oldest church. This Society met Jan. 23, 1726-7.
and chose the following officers : Christopher'* Qiristophers, Modera-
tor; Committee: Christopher^ Christophers, Jonathan Prentis and
John Hempstead ; Clerk, John Richards.

was proved July 9, 1729; his wife Sarah was sole Executrix, men-
tions sons Christopher (eldest) and John, and daughters Mary,
Sara and Lucretia.

tophers, made her will Jan. 26, 1744-5, and it was proved April 30,
1745 ; her sons John and Christopher executors ; mentions also

NOTES.
Contributed by Theresa Hall Bristol.
From a Purdy Family Bible in the possession (1919) of the
Misses Jane and Mary Purdy, of White Plains, N. Y., which was
the original bible belonging to Lavinia Purdy, daughter of Elijah
Purdy, who married ( i ) her cousin, Eisenhart Purdy, son of Joseph
Purdy (see History of Rye, p. 436), we gather the following vital
facts relative to the Purdy Family quoted exactly as they appear in
the above described Bible. The Bible itself, has the name of Levina
Purdy stamped thereon in gold letters, and it was published by M.
Carey & Son, Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, 1817. Here follow the

The following Bible records, in the possession of the Egan fam-
ily of Plainfield, N. J., have been examined by Dr. William B. Van
Alstyne, who reports them as "valuable." The Bible from which
they were taken, was destroyed by Catherine (Ferris) Lawrence, but
the family records themselves were preserved by her. According to
family tradition, this Bible was originally owned by Hester Guion,
of North Castle, who married Samuel B. Ferris, who evidently col-
lected the material from older Bible records. These records are as
follows :
"Isaac Guion, born in Rochelle in France, in 1692; died in New Rochelle,
N. Y. in 1776. Isaac Guion, his son born in New Rochelle, N. Y., 1720,
and died in 1784 serving for some time as surgeon in the Revolutionary War.
His son Isaac was born in New Rochelle 1740. Died in Newbum, North
Carolina, 1803, serving in the same capacity as his father. Isaac L. Guion,
his son was born in Newburn, North Carolina, 1776. Died at the age of 39
and was Solicitor General."

JOHN BROWN OF NEW HARBOR, MAINE (1623-1670),
AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS.
Contributed by Theresa Hall Bristol.
John Brown of Pemaquid, New Harbor, Damariscotta and
Woolwich, now in Maine, is distinguished only as having been the
recipient of what is considered to be the first Indian deed on record.
He was the son of Richard Brown of Barton Regis, Gloucester-
shire, Eng., and married Margaret, daughter of Francis Hayward,
of Bristol, Eng. He is supposed to have come from Bristol to
Pemaquid (now Bristol, Me.), as early as 1623. On July 15, 1625,
John Brown, then of New Harbor, purchased of the Sagamores,
Capt. John "Samoset" and Unongoit, "for fifty skins," a tract of land
described as follows : "Beginning at Pemaquid Falls, and so run-
ning a direct course to the head of New Harbor, from thence to the
south end of Muscongus Island; taking in the Island, and so run-
ning five and twenty miles into the country north and by east, and
thence eight miles northwest and by west to Pemaquid, where it first
began." This deed was acknowledged at Pemaquid before Abraham
Shurt, July 24, 1626, and is supposed to be the earliest Indian deed
on record.* The History of Bristol and Bremen, Maine, Including
the Pemaquid Settlement, by John Johnston, LL.D., 1873, gives a
very full account of John Brown, his possessions, and some of his
descendants ; also a detailed account of the Indian wars which
depleted and scattered the early population on this part of the coast
of Maine. The object of this article is, therefore, only to bring
together such genealogical material as has come to light later,
through other publications, and to include the names of all the heirs
in 1812 to John Brown's estate through the line of his granddaughter,
Margaret (Gould) Stilson-Pittman and her first husband, James''
Stilson. The line of James* Stilson (James^) has been made as
complete as possible by a personal search of New Hampshire records
and is verified by Lincoln County Depositions of 1812 in possession
of the Maine Historical Society, and deposited in their library at
Portland. The names of the other children of James' Stilson (with
the exception of Hannah'') and their descendants have been taken
entirely from these depositions made at the time John Brown's
descendants tried to regain the "Eastern lands."
There seems to be some uncertainty as to the time and place of
John Brown's death, but it was probably about 1670, as stated in the
History of Bristol and Bremen, and "at his son John's" at Damaris-
cotta. The historian further states that John Brown's wife returned

of John Brown ye wife of Nicholas Denning, as: Agnes
Doliber, Erne Elwell, Elizabeth Paine, Nicholas Denning,
Mary Stevens, William Denning, George Denning.
John Brown gave the Island of Muscongus, and a large tract
upon the mainland, to Alexander Gould, the husband of his daugh-
ter Margaret, as Margaret's marriage portion. This was by deed
dated Aug. 8, 1660; and "she continued to live upon it long after
the death of her husband." (Various York Deeds and Lincoln Co.
Depositions). It is a matter of record, however, that Margaret
(Brown) Gould re-married; and, after the Eastern Claims began
to be settled (1700-1720), her second husband, Maurice "Chamless,"
brought forth in 1717 what did not prove to be a genuine deed to
land at Muscongus, dated 1672-3. This husband who survived her
(and evidently married again) built a house upon the island and
planted corn. James Stilson (grandson of Margaret (Brown)
Gould-Chamless) and his sister Mary's husband, William Hilton,
went down to Muscongus and tore down the house and pulled up
the corn. They were willing, they said, "to share the land with
their uncle, Samuel Champney (a son of Margaret by her second
husband), but not with his father." Morris "Chamlet" (Champ-
ney?) second husband of Margaret (Brown) Gould, took the Oath
of Fidelity before Samuel Ward, at Marblehead, Dec. 18, 1677.

Marblehead, Mass. James^ Stilson took the Oath of Fidelity before
the Commissioner at Marblehead, Dec. i8, 1677. He had land laid
out to him by the Selectmen of Marblehead, Feb. 11, 1682-3, built a
house and shop on same and sold to Samuel Waldron, Feb. 26, 1685-
6. Margaret, his wife, joined the First Church at Marblehead, April
18, 1686, and her children were baptized May 16, of the same year.
This was the year of the change at Pemaquid from New York to
Massachusetts rule under Andros. {History of Bristol and
Bremen.)
The island of Muscongus together with a tract on the mainland,
in all, containing eight square miles of the John Brown land, was
inherited by Margaret (Gould) Stilson, "as the oldest daughter" of
Alexander and Margaret (Brown) Gould; and she and her husband
James Stilson, "held peaceful possession" of the same in 1689,
according to the testimony of Richard Pierce in 1720. (Deposi-
tions of Eastern Claims in Maine Hist. Society Library). Never-
theless, as before stated, just prior to 1720, Margaret (Gould) Stil-
son-Pittman's step-father, Morris Champney, tried to gain posses-
sion. This is proved by depositions found recorded on the Essex
Co. Probate, and published in the Genealogical Advertiser, Vol. II,
pp. 26-28.
During the second Indian War, as it was called, probably on Aug.
2, 1689, the day the Pemaquid Fort was taken by the Indians, James
Stilson, then living on Muscongus Island, was killed, together with
his infant daughter, and his wife Margaret and their other children
were taken prisoners to Canada. In October, 1695, an expedition
was fitted out to ransom the Canada captives who had been held
prisoners among the French, and Margaret (Gould) Stilson was
brought back. On a list of those still remaining in Canada are the
names of two of Margaret's children, "Mary" and "James." They
are all given as "from Pemaquid." It is impossible to determine
what became of the children Mary and John Stilson. Probably both
died young, and "Mary" is given as a mistake for Margaret. (See
New England Hist, and Gen. Register, Vol. VI, p. 87; Vol. XXIV,
p. 289; Vol. XXXI, p. 185.)
The widow Margaret (Gould) Stilson returned to Marblehead,
where she m. (2) March 30, 1696, Thomas Pittman. The daughter
Margaret must have returned before 1699, when she was married
at Marblehead to William Hilton. James Stilson did not return
until after 1703, when he married in Canada another Indian captive
taken in a later raid.
On the 27th of Dec, 1720, "Thomas Pittman of Marblehead and
his wife Margaret, oldest daughter of Saunders Gould, heretofore
of Muscongus, Yeoman, and Margaret, his wife, both deceased"
* * ♦ "for love and good will and paternal affection which they
the said Thomas and Margaret Pittman have and do bear unto her
son James Stilson of Piscataqua in the Province of New Hamp-
shire, Fisherman, and her daughter Margaret Hilton, now wife of

and Mary Hilton being the two children of the said Margaret Pitt-
man by her former husband James Stilson, late of Pemaquid in New

west."
Thomas and Margaret (Gould) Stilson-Pittman lived at Marble-
head, where he died 4 mo., 1736, ae. 94. She lived until 12 mo.,
1750, when she died, "ae. 92." The children of Margaret (Gould)
and James Stilson, all baptized at Marblehead, May 16, 1686, were :
i. James' Stilson, "born at or near Muscongus, Me.," about
1676.
ii. John' Stilson.
iii. Margaret' Stilson, b. 1679; taken captive with her mother.
She was married at Marblehead, June 2, 1699, to William
Hilton. (For an account of this family, see A^. E. Hist,
and Gen. Register, Vol. 31, p. 185).

(Marblehead Vital Records)
James' Stilson, son of James^ and Margaret (Gould) Stilson,
was born on Muscongus Island, "near Pemaquid" (now Bristol,
Me.). He was bap. at Marblehead, First Church, May 16, 1686,
with his brother and sisters. At the time his father and the infant
were killed by the Indians, he was taken prisoner with his mother
and sister Margaret. On the report of the expedition sent to Canada
in 1695, to ransom these prisoners, James Stilson is called "a lad,
of Pemaquid." The depositions of Eastern claimants in 1812, show
that he not only did remain in Canada after the others returned, but
that he married there and that one, if not two, of his children were
born there. His granddaughter Mary (Stilson), widow of Capt.
Tobias Lear, and Lucretia, widow of his grandson Capt. William
Trefethen, both testified that "when he heard that a New England
woman had been brought to Canada by the Indians, he went to see
her;" that "he liked her so well that he bought her with a hat full of
silver dollars, and married her there ;" that "she was then a widow
by the name of Batson." Lucretia Trefethen also testified "I remem-
ber hearing of his coming to New Castle with his wife, and child,
Hannah, born in Canada." (Lincoln Co. Depositions.) This wife
of James Stilson was Hannah (Odiorne) of New Castle, N. H.,
widow of John Batson, Jr., of Cape Porpoise (now Arundel, Me.).
1920.] a}!d Some of His Descendants. 33
From other testimony it would appear that she had returned to her
home at New Castle, after the death of her husband, John Batson,
Jr., and that she was taken captive from there ; that upon her ransom
by James Stilson, her second husband, and their return to New
England, they were re-married in Boston and "went to the home
at New Castle from which she was taken prisoner.* Her
daughter's (Mary (Batson) Parsons-Tarlton) son, testified in 1812,
that his mother often told him that she was seven years old at the
time she and her mother were taken prisoners to Canada. There is
an article in the Nczv England Hist. Gen. Register, Vol. 28, p. 159,
entitled "English Prisoners in Canada." The wife of James^ Stil-
son is there given as "Anna (Odihorn) Batson, wife of John, taken
with her children, Aug. 21, 1703, in the service of M. Pascaud; her
daughter Mary Margaret, b. at Piscaderie [Piscataqua] [now Ports-
mouth], N. E., 5 Feb., 1697; bapt. 24 June, 1704, in Montreal." In
1721, "John Batson, Thomas Parsons and Mary, his wife, all of
New Castle, ye said John Batson and Mary Parsons being the only
surviving children and heirs of John Batson, late of Cape Porpoise,
deceased," sold their father's land and mill in "Cape Porpus, now
called Arundel ;" and "James Stilson of New Castle aforesaid and
Hannah, his wife, formerly ye wife of Jno. Batson, deceased,"
signed away "all right the aforesaid premises might accrow to said
Hannah as her dower therein." (York Deeds, Vol. X, Folio 230-
231. )t In 1732, John* Batson and his sister Mary with her second
(not her first) husband, Richard Tarlton, sold "all right, title and
interest" in the estate of their grandfather, John^ Batson [Sr.] in
Arundel, York Co. (York Deeds. XV, 508.) This corrects an error
in the Maine Historical and Genealogical Recorder, Vol. IV, p.
293-
The first mention of James Stilson to be found on the New
Castle town records is on Jan. 25, 1714, when he and Tobias Lear
petitioned to have their taxes abated (Vol. I, Town Book, p. 17),
He was living in Portsmouth in 1720. and in 1722 he called himself
"formerly of New Castle," when he and his wife Hannah sold all
his share in the division of the New Castle Commons. (Rocking-
ham Co. Deeds.) In 1724, he bought a dwelling house and land
upon "Great Island" (New Castle) and went back there to live. He
had trouble with his grandmother's second husband, Morris Champ-
ney, in 1720, regarding possession of the Island and land deeded him
* John Batson returned to Cape Porpoise in 1699, from Portsmouth, where
he had taken refuge, and as hostilities recommenced at Cape Porpoise in
1702, it is possible that he was killed at that time, and his wife taken prisoner
from there. \York Deeds, Vol. VI, Folio 50.) This corrects an error in the
Kcnnebunkport History, p. 68. where the statement is made that John Batson
[Jr.] did not return to Cape Porpoise.
tThis mill was built about 1699-1700. when the following agreement was
drawn up. "John Batson of Cape Porpoise and Samuel Hill of Charlestown,
who both have good title to several tracts of land at Cape Porpoise, and are
building a mill, take Joseph Storer into partnership with them." (York
Deeds, Vol. VI, p. 50.)

by his mother Margaret (Gould) Stilson and her second husband
Thomas Pittman. On March 27, 1733, James Stilson sold (or
mortgaged) for £200, to Samuel Waldo, of Boston, Merchant, land
on Muscongus river, near Pemaquid, in the County of York,' being
in Broad Bay. Beginning at a pine tree marked in the westmost
branch of the Bay ; thence Northeast by Muscongus river eight
miles [etc.] * * * "which tract of land on the 8th day of
August, 1660, being a good deed * * * well executed by John
Brown, of New Harbor, given and granted to Saunders Gould and
Margaret his wife, and upon their decease became the estate of Mar-
garet Pittman" [etc.]. "The tract as yet being undivided." "Also
a certain neck of land running into Broad Bay, 700 acres more or
less." This would seem to dispose of the Brown-Stilson claim ; but
about 1800 to 1812, all the heirs to the tract about Pemaquid tried to
regain possession. A commission was appointed, which finally
decided that the Brown descendants had no claim. The following
genealogy is largely compiled and verified by depositions taken at
this time. These are in possession of the Maine Historical Society.
After the death of his wife, James^ Stilson lived with his son-
in-law, Capt. Abraham Trefethen, at New Castle, until his son, Capt.
James Stilson, moved to New Durham, when he went with him and
died there about 1772. (Testimony of Mary Runnels, of New Dur-
ham, and of his granddaughter, Mary Lear.)

and trader; in command of the schooner Hampton for many
years and probably owner of the schooner Charming Molly. He
lived on Pickering Neck, down on the water front, in Ports-
mouth, N. H. ; his land bordering on that of Capt. Tobias Lear
and that of Huncking Wentworth, on Huncking Street. He also
owned land and shop and house on Spring Hill in Portsmouth.

30, 1 77 1, leaving children.
8. George^ Tippett and Dorcas Baxter, dau. of Thomas of West-
chester. Until Sept., 1732, when they sold their home to Van
Cortlandt, this couple seem to have lived in the old house near
the mill pond and cemetery, where Wm. Betts had lived and
where Van der Dunck had cleared a planting field and built a
home as the first white settler. Their seven known children
who reached maturity were as follows, given in the order men-
tioned in his will. This is not, however, the order of their
birth, for as Dorcas was b. in 1727, James, even if a twin
brother of Wm. and b. the next year, could not have become
the father of Gilbert as early as 1739 or 1740.
19 i. Jane.* She was one of the older children, as her
own first child was b. about 1737. She married
Charles Warner, and in Jan., 1755, there were 9 sur-
viving children in their family. Possibly the Revo-
lutionary patriot, Wm. Warner, was her son Wm.
20 ii. Phebe,* m. George* Hadley between July, 1749, and
Sept., 1752, and hence was evidently not among the
oldest children. She had a family of 9 children and
her husband and sons were ardent patriots during
the Revolutionary War. George* and Isaac' Hadley,
of the Yonkers militia in 1775, were probably her
husband and son, and Joseph* and Wm.* Hadley, of
the same company, were undoubtedly the grandsons
of Mehitable^ Tippett and brothers of her husband.
21 iii. George.* He was probably the eldest child or at least
the eldest son. He married and had 3 sons. 2 of
whom were apparently adults before May, 1761. His
death occurred at some time previous to that date.
22 iv. Dorcas.* She was b. on Oct. 29, 1727, and d. Feb.
20, 1794, aged 66 yrs., 3 mos. and 22 days. She m.
Samuel Berrian, who secured some of the Tippett
lands near the southern end of Yonkers Neck where
members of the Berrian family continued to live for
many years after Samuel's death. For a long time
the Neck was called Berrian's Neck, after this fam-
ily. Samuel and Dorcas* had at least 5 children, all
sons, and the family is said to have adhered to the
Colonial cause during the war, which raged so
destructively all around their home.
23 v. William.* Date of birth unknown, but as he had two
married daughters when he made his will" in July,
1769, he was doubtless the third or fourth child in
the family. He d. in 1769, between July 22 and Nov.
22, leaving seven daughters and one son. His wife

was Martha Hunt, dau. of Moses Hunt, of East-
chester, and his home was doubtless on or near the
Neck.
24 vi. James.* He was undoubtedly one of the older chil-
dren, and it seems likely that either he or his
sister Jane* Warner was the second born child of the
family. During 1735-1738, he m. Martha, dau. of
Thomas Hunt, a cousin of his brother William's*
wife, and d. at some time between July, 1756, and
May, 1 76 1. He seems to have left only 2 surviving
children, both of whom were adults when their grand-
father d. in 1761, and one of whom had been m. for
about 2 years. His home was on a 28-acre lot near
the southern point of the Neck, which his 2 sons
inherited from their grandfather. Of these sons,
Stephen" appears to have adhered to the cause of the
Colonies, while Gilbert' was a strong Royalist in
sentiment. In 1762, Stephen' sold his inheritance,
together with other lands at the extreme southern end
of Tippett's Neck, to his uncle, Samuel Berrian, in
all, 118 acres for 375 pounds.
25 vii. Thomas.* There seems to be almost a complete lack
of information concerning this son. We know
only from his father's will that he died before May,
1761, leaving 2 daughters, and that he became an
adult before April, 1742. Nor is anything more
known about his 2 children, whose names were as
follows :
(a) Jane.'
(b) "Rachel."
9. Henry Tippett' and Elizabeth ?
26 i. Hester,* wife of Arnold Hyatt, of Phillipsburg.
This dau. d. before Sept., 1752, leaving at least one
child, who was still a minor at that date. She was
buried on the farm of John Hyatt, who may have
been her husband's father. Her only known child
was:
(a) Henry.'
2"^ ii. Hetabla,* wife of John Sickles. Nothing further has
been learned concerning her or her family except that
they are believed to have lived in N. Y. City.
10. George* Hadley^^ and Phebe* Tippett, dau. of George.' As
this couple were second cousins in the Tippett line and their
children, therefore, possessed a double portion of Tippett blood,

including the Vermilye branch, are taken mostly from Toler's New_ Harlem
Register, to which valuable work we hereby acknowledge our indebted-

it is pleasing to recall the patriotism of this family during the
war. Their 9 children were as follows :
28 i. Isaac," b. Oct. 19, 1752; m. Ann Sunnacher and d.
Jan. 14, 1836. They had 10 children. He was un-

also in the Colonial Army with his father, brother
and uncles.

13. Rebecca* Hadley (of Joseph,^ Jr., of MehitabeP Tippett) and
Nicholas Post. Nothing is known about her family, but we
find in the Yonkers Colonial Militia in 1775 and 1776, Isaac
William, Israel, Jacob, Lewis and Martin Post. Perhaps we
can safely infer that at least Isaac," Wm." and Jacob" were her
sons and named after her brothers who bore these Hadley fam-
ily names.
15. William* Hadley (Joseph,' Jr., Mehitabel^ Tippett) and
Elizabeth Warner (Jane* Tippett, George'). This couple were
also Tippett relatives, and the husband was especially promi-
nent among the Revolutionary soldiers of Yonkers Precinct.
Their first captain chosen in 1775, was not true to the cause
and largely through the efforts of Wm. Hadley, supported by
his brother George, he was finally removed. The children of

20. Phebe* Tippett (of George^ and Dorcas) and George* Had-

21. George* Tippett (of George^ and Dorcas) and ?
64 i. George.' This was the fifth George Tippett in direct
line of descent, and as he was an adult before May,
1761, it seems very likely that he was b. during 1735-
1740. There is little other positive information
about him, but there is one indication that he may
have d. during the war. It is known that there was
some George Tippett who m. Eleanor De Voe
shortly before March, 1774, and d. before 1782,
leaving one child by her. While we would expect
George* to marry at an earlier age, yet we must
remember that this may have becN a second mar-
riage and there was no other known adult George
Tippett in the family at that time. It can scarcely
be doubted that the husband of Eleanor De Voe
68 The Tibbitts or Tibbetts Fa?iiily. IJan-
(or De Veaux), b. in 1758, was this George^ Tippett,
for it is recorded in Vol. B, p. 350, of Mortgages,
tiiat on March 14, 1774, George Tippett and wife
Eleanor of Yonkers, mortgaged 150 acres of land
on Croton's River for 600 pounds.
65 ii. Thomas. ° Very little is known about this son except
that he was probably the second born and an adult in
1761. It is also known that he sided with the
Colonists in the war and may have been in active
service as a soldier. When the census of 1790 was
taken neither he nor any of his relatives named Tif>-
pett remained in Westchester Co. as head of a fam-
ily. There was then a Thomas Tippett in Washing-
ton Co., and later a Wm. Tippett, but we cannot say
whether this was our Thomas from Westchester Co.
or some Thomas from the N. Hampshire family.
66 iii. Henry, ^ the youngest child, who was still under age
in May, 1761. We are unable to give further definite
information about him and can only suggest that he
may have located in Greene Co. and later in Scho-
harie Co., near Middleburg. There was a "Henry
Tibbets" in Greene Co. in 1790, with one son over
16, six under 16, and one daughter. Very early in
the next century there was, near Middleburg, a
James, John, George W. and Harry "Tippet" which
family names and the use of "pp" in the name.
"Tippet" very strongly indicate that this was the
family of one of the Westchester Co. cousins who
disappeared during the war.
22. Dorcas* Tippett (of George' and Dorcas) and Samuel Ber-
rian.^* The tombstones of brown sandstone, erected to the
memory of Samuel and Dorcas, are among the few that still
remain in the ancient family burial lot in Van Cortlandt Park.

1920.] The Tibbitts or Tibbetts Family. 73
73. Martha' Tippett (of Wm.*, of George' and Dorcas) and
Col. James De Lancey. The history of this couple is most
romantic and interesting. They belonged to two of the most
prominent families in Westchester Co., and Col. de Lancey
was a man of considerable wealth. It was at Morrisania in
1781, that he married Martha Tippett, and shortly afterward,
because of his unfortunate Tory principles and activities dur-
ing the war, he was obliged to leave his native land and valua-
ble estate to become an exile in Nova Scotia. Vv'ith his wife
and 6 or 7 months' old baby boy, he sailed in Oct. or Nov., 1783,
on a most trying and tempestuous voyage to Annapolis Royal.
They made their new home on a farm in Annapolis Co., about
2 miles from Round Hill, and half way between that place and
Tupperville Station. Col. James died there on May 2, 1804,
aged 58 years, and his wife many years later at Bridgetown, in
the home of her bachelor son, John, who provided for his
mother in her old age. There is an old family cemetery on the
farm, but only two stones now remain, one for Col. James and
one for his son Wm. and wife. The burial lot is now owned by
John Nichols, and most of the farm by H. Chipman, both of
Bentville (P. O., Tupperville Station). Unfortunately, there
is no memorial to Martha's memory, though it would have
been a simple matter to engrave it on one of the vacant sides
of her husband's monument. This oversight was no doubt
due to the greatly reduced circumstances of the family and
especially to the poverty of her faithful son John. The writer
has made diligent effort to establish the correct date of her
death and her exact age. Through the kindness of the Rev.
John Reeks, of Round Hill, the cemetery has been thoroughly
searched in his behalf and he has also corresponded with 2 of
her aged grandchildren. The testimony of the latter appears
to establish the view that she died in 1837, aged 73 years, as
Bolton states in a chart in the original edition of his Westches-
ter Co. History. The difficulty has been that in Bolton's
revised edition, on which he labored for years making cor-
rections and additions, it is stated that she died in 1827, aged
73 years (Vol. 2, p. 429). Ordinarily, one would accept this
latter date as a needed and intentional correction, especially as
it would bring Martha's age much nearer that of her husband
and would fit in better with other known circumstances. But
under date of Sept. 15, 1917, Miss Kate De Lancey, of
Cheverie, Hants Co., N. S., one of Martha's surviving grand-
daughters, writes: "Grandmother was at my father's after he
was married, I have heard mother say. She must have died
near 1835." Hence as Miss Kate's father was married in
March, 1835, it is likely that 1837 is the correct year of her
grandmother's death, as stated in Bolton's first edition. In
this case, however, she must have been about 20 years younger
than her husband. That she was William* Tippett's daughter

79. TiTus Family — Corrections and Additions.
Contributed by Edmund D. Titus.*
Believing- my deductions to be accurate, and trusting that they
will be proven to be so, I submit for consideration and criticism the
following argument concerning the record of AbieP Titus (Abiel,'
Robert') of Huntington, L. I., as given in the pamphlet The Titus
Family in America, by Rev. Anson Titus, and also published in the
Nezv York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Vol. XII, pp. 92-
99, inclusive. New York, 1881, and also noted in the American His-
torical Association Report, 1905, p. 692.
At the time of its publication, this record was accepted as authori-
tative, and was incorporated as such in the genealogical record of
the family, at that time, and still, in preparation (not yet pub-
lished). But subsequently, other records came to my notice which
contained statements causing doubt to be cast upon the accuracy of
the above referred to pamphlet : and other matters pressing, the con-
sideration of the questions arising was postponed tmtil the present
time.
*i This family record is given in Kalnek-Savary's History of Annapolis Co.,

spondence with Oliver DeLancey, of Lawrencetown ; Miss Kate DeLancey,

It is now proposed to apply the information gathered to the
record in question, in an effort to clear away existing doubts if pos-
sible, so that the family record (in preparation) may be beyond
question, rendered correct.
The records upon which I base my argument are the following:
Marriage Bond Records, Albany, N. Y.
The Marriage Lists of Rev. Ebenezer Prime, of Hunt-
ington, L. I.
Inscriptions on the stones in the old cemetery at Hunt-
ington, L. I.
The Wills of Abiel, Henry and Philip Titus on file in
the New York County Surrogate's Office.
The Huntington Town Records.
A Manuscript written in Huntington prior to 1849.
Sundry other sources (see appended notes).
The first apparent inaccuracy in the record in question seems
to be in the statement in the pamphlet that AbieP Titus died in 1759,
or as quoted : "His will was made Jan. 3, 1759, and probated May 4,
1759." The second inaccuracy appears to be the listing of the
grandchildren of AbieP Titus as his children; and the third inac-
curacy (which naturally follows from the first and second) lies in
the stating that AbieP Titus m. Irena ?
I believe that the above referred to probate record refers to
AbieP Titus (son of AbieP).
The following is an abstract from the pamphlet, p. 7 (AT. Y. Gen.
and Biog. Record, Vol. XII, p. 98), the italics indicating the
points in dispute:
"AbieP Titus (Abiel,'' Robert^), b. in Huntington, March 15,
1678-9; w. Irena . She, or a former wife [was] probably

vii. Child unborn, see will of its father made March 17, 1750,

The compiler of the unpublished Titus family record states
with reference to the above Philip Titus, Senior ^ " I think Philip
Titus belongs to the 3rd generation ; he mentions his brother Abiel
in his will dated March 17, 1750."
It will be noted that, in the above quoted record of AbieP Titus,
taken from the not yet published Titus family record, there are
three marriages given as those of the said AbieP Titus, the last one
of which to Irena, otherwise "Rene" or Joanna Satterly, being the
one that seems to correspond to marriage of Abiel ' Titus as given
in the pamphlet record by Rev. Anson Titus which is under criti-
cism. The dates and names given in these marriages are all taken
from the official records. If these marriages are to stand as apply-
ing to Abiel'' Titus, b. March 15, 1678, which date of birth is cor-
* Another marriage (taken from this same family record (not yet pub-
lished) took place April i, 1730, between Abiel Titus (widower) and Mary
Scudder (widow), which marriage I think refers to that of Abiel Titus,
father of Abiel Titus, to whom the above other three marriages refer.
t There is some doubt as to whether Abiel' Titus had this son Philip.
1920.] Corrections and Addilions to Published Genealogical Works. 77
rect, then he was 49, 58 and 61 years of age at the respective dates
of his three successive marriages. That the marriages do apply to
some Abiel Titus is made certain by the fact that the Abiel Titus
who made his will January 3, 1759, not only mentioned the last
wife "Ireny," but also refers to the father of his first wife as the
"grandfather" of his children, and the second marriage March 3,
1736, to Elizabeth Wood is identified to the same Abiel Titus not
only by the chronology, but by the gravestones at Huntington.
Furthermore, if these marriages apply to AbieP Titus ( Abiel, ^
Robert^), his son Abiel* Titus could not have been born before 1728
(actual date of his birth, June 30, 1732), although the pamphlet
record reads that he was the "oldest son in 1725."
Henry^ Titus, brother of Abiel' Titus, died in 1725, and he
mentioned in his will, "Abiel Titus, eldest son of my brother Abiel."
This item in Henry^ Titus' will is undoubtedly the source of infor-
mation of the record of Abiel" Titus as given in the pamphlet, and
in that pamphlet we are presented with the record of a bequest
made in 1725 to an "eldest son," three years at least before that
"eldest son" was born! As a matter of fact, it was seven years
before he was born.
To assume that Henry Titus who died in 1725 was of the sec-
ond generation, and therefore a brother of Abiel^ Titus (Robert^),
and that, therefore, in his will was referring to AbieP Titus as the
"eldest son" of his brother, would be to add Henry Titus to the
children of Robert^ Titus. As Robert' Titus died before 1679 and
as Henry Titus was not born until 1681, no solution of this prob-
lem can be sought along this line. The Huntington Town Records,
Vol. I, p. 525, contains the list of the children of Abiel- Titus, and
Henry" Titus, "b. March 6, 1681-2," was one of these children.
This list was written May i, 1688.
Further evidence that the Abiel Titus who d. 1759 was not the
Abiel Titus born in 1678, is furnished by the stone that marks
his grave in the Huntington Churchyard ; according to which he
"died May 3, 1759 in his 50th year." Hence he was b. 1709. There
is also a footstone marked Abiel the 4th, located not far from this
grave, and I believe it refers to Abiel Titus (of the 5th generation,
but the 4th Abiel, according to my theory) who was born in 1732,
and who, as stated in the Huntington Manuscript heretofore referred
to as one of authorities in this argument, "died young, no children."
I believe he died prior to 1755, as there is still another inscription
showing "a child of Abiel Titus died 1760, aged 5 years." My
theory being that this child was also an Abiel, so named in 1755,
after the death of the Abiel Titus the 4th, who I think died in his
22nd year. This last child, who died in 1760, aged 5 years, I think
was probably the only child born to Abiel Titus by his third mar-
riage in 1753. Other stones give "Elizabeth Titus, wife of Abiel,
died Feb. 10, 1750-1, in her 41st year," and also in another part
of the enclosure there is a stone marked "Mary Titus, wife of
Abiel, died July 25, 1735, aged 52."

My theory is that AbieP Titus, b. March 15, 1678; d. ? he
m. ( i) to ?; he m. (2) , 1738, to Mary Scudder, a widow ;
and that he was the father of Abiel* Titus, b. , 1709; d. ,
1759, and grandfather of AbieP Titus, b. 1732, who died aged 22
years.
Taking the above three marriages as assigned in the unpublished
Titus family record to AbieP Titus and applying them to Abiel*
Titus, instead of to AbieP Titus, the age of AbieP Titus at the
dates of each of these respective marriages would be 18, 27 and 44,
which seems more reasonable.
I do not know at what date the Marriage Bonds began, but it is
significant that in several manuscripts there is mention of a Timothy
Titus and one Philip Titus as sons of an Abiel Titus. As the fam-
ily record (not published) now stands, these names appear in the
fourth generation as sons of AbieP Titus, yet the marriage bond
records show one Timothy and one Philip Titus who were evidently
contemporaneous with AbieP Titus, viz. :
1727, Sept. 14, Timothy Titus married Elizabeth Blatchley.*
1736, Sept. 12, Philip Titus married Charity Conklin.
It is possible that AbieP Titus was the father of these two
(Timothy and Philip), they having been born after 1690 (the date
of birth of Jonathan,^ son of AbieP Titus). The Titus Record in
Vol. I, p. 525, of the Huntington Town Records was written in 1688,
as before stated. In it the name of Jonathan^ Titus (AbieP) does
not appear, nor those of these possible two other (Timothy and
Philip) children of AbieP Titus, therefore, it is not impossible nor
improbable that AbieP Titus had other children born after 1688.
It is certain that the above Timothy and Philip Titus were not the
sons of AbieP Titus, as Timothy Titus was married the year of
Abiel's first marriage (some six months later) ; and Philip Titus
was married only nine years afterwards. If AbieP Titus had sons
Timothy and Philip, they were not the same individuals mentioned
in the above quoted Marriage Bond Records. The Timothy bap-
tized Nov. 4, 1739. was a son of AbieP Titus. According to other
Huntington Records, the family of Philip Titus is given as follows :
"Philip Titus was born June 26, 171 1, Charity, his wife, was
born April 8, 1715; they were married Sept. 12, 1736. Children:
i. Philip, b. May 5, 1737.
ii. Samuel, b. Sept. 20, 1739; bapt. Oct. 28, 1739.
iii. Rebecca, b. Aug. 4, 1741.
iv. Mary, b. Nov. 4, 1743.
V. Martha, b. Jan. 16, 1745-6.
And to this list may be added the following children:
vi. Richard, b. — • — , a minor in 1750 (see will of his father).
vji. Another child, b. (his wife was pregnant when her
husband, Philip Titus, made his will in 1750).
• Elizabeth Titus, widow, married October 2, 1738, Ephraim Kellum.

No trace can be found of the second child, Samuel Titus, in the
Huntington Records after 1763. Charity Titus, died a widow, aged
89, on November 2, 1794.
The will of Philip Titus, of Huntington, was written March 17,
1750; and was probated April 2, 1750. It mentions his wife Charity
(pregnant) ; sons Richard, a minor, Samuel, and eldest son, Philip;
daughters Rebecca, Mary and Martha ; and as executor "my truly
and well beloved brother Abiel Titus."
The following is an extract from a letter from Mr. Horace Rusco,
Town Clerk of Huntington:
"In looking over some of the unpublished records, I find the
name of Richard and Samuel [Titus] in an estimate of taxes. Rich-
ard [Titus] about 1771 and continued in 1791 with that of his
mother Charity [Titus], Samuel [Titus'] name was written about
1763, but no tax was ever carried to him. I have not discovered
their names in any other papers ; they seem to have dropped out
from here."
"In the old cemetery here is the grave of one of the Abiels
[Titus] and that of his wife Elizabeth. Abiel died May 3, 1759, in
his 50th year hence born 1709. This [Abiel,] I think, was Abiel
the 4th, for only a little way from the grave is a footstone with the
inscription "Abiel Titus the 4th,'' Elizabeth, his wife, died February
10, 1750-51, in her 41st year (hence born 1710). In another part
of the enclosure is the gravestone of Mary, wife of Abiel, who died
July 25, 1735, aged 52 (hence born 1683). There is also a stone
of a child of an Abiel [Titus] who died 1760, aged 5 years."
Now taking the marriage records of AbieP Titus as given in
the unpublished Titus family record, and applying them as I think
they should be applied to Abiel^ Titus (Abiel,^ Abiel, ^ Robert^) we
have in accord with what we have above stated the following as the
marriage record of Abiel* Titus :
Abiel* Titus, b. , 1709 (see gravestone record) ; d. May 3,
1759, "in his 50th year." Married (i) when he was 18 years old on
June 5, 1727, Mary Smith* (daughter of Samuel Smith, as per
Abiel* Titus will) who was b. , 1683 (see gravestone record),
and who d. July 25, 1735, aged 52. He m. (2) March 3, 1736, when
he was 27 years old, and a widower, to Elizabeth Wood, b. ,
1710 (see gravestone record) ; d. Feb. 10, 1750-1, in her 41st year.
He m. (3) March 15, 1753, when he was 44 years old, to Joanna (or
as he described her in his will "Ireny") Satterly ; and by this last
marriage he had a child who died in 1760, aged 5 years.
The other marriage of an Abiel Titus, a widower, which is
recorded as having taken place April i. 1739, to Mary Scudder, a
widow, was the second marriage of AbieP Titus, the father of
Abiel* Titus.
* Editor's note: If this first marriage took place and at the date given,
thi;n Abiel* Titus was at date of this, his first marriage, 18 years old and his
first wife, Mary Smith was 42 years old, and her husband's senior by 24 years,
which seems unlikely unless established by positive evidence. — John R. Totten.
8o Corrections and Additions to Published Genealogical Works. [Jan.
The following is an abstract from a Ketcham letter, dated Aug.
25, 1894:
"I have this memo, which I found in an old Bible loaned me
which was once in the Titus family. I fancy although that it may
have been copied from some other Bible. This memo, does not
contain a single date, I give it to you as it appears" :
"This Bible belongs to Abiel Titus
His grandfather's name was Abiel
His father's name was Abiel
His own name was Abiel
His son's name was Abiel
Abiel the first
Abiel the second
Abiel the third
Abiel the fourth
Abiel the fifth."
Memorandum: Whoever wrote the portion of the above begin-
ning "Abiel the first," evidently had in mind the 5th Abiel, infant.
Only four Abiels are described in the text. According to this and
to the various conjectures, theories and facts hereinbefore set
forth, the above would represent:
Abiel first, b. 1640; d. 1736.
Abiel second, b. 1678; d. .
Abiel third, b. 1709; d. 1759.
Abiel fourth, b. 1732; d. 1754.
Abiel fifth, b. 1755 ; d. 1760, aged 5 years.
The following chart will aid in making clear how I conceive
the record to stand to date:
1st Generation: Robert* Titus, b. 1600; d. before 1679.
2nd Generation: the first AbieF Titus, b. 1640; removed to
Long Island in 1654 ; m. probably in 1672, Rebecca Scudder. He d.

his wife, which the author of this article places as having taken place

The following is taken from the "Huntington Manuscript" in
my possession.
"The record of the Titus family in Huntington, L. I.
Abiel Titus, the common ancestor, on tax list for 1673 (son of
Robert Titus). He owned the lot where Thomas Rogers now
(prior to 1849) I'^es and also three rights in the old purchase; and
it is probable he purchased another right and gave one to each of
his sons. He had two daughters and four sons :
i. Mary, b. 1674.
ii. Rebecca, b. 1676.
iii. Abiel, b. 1678.
iv. Henry, b. 1682.
V. John, b. 1685.
vi. Jonathan, b. 1690.
"19 Sept. 1716 the four sons joined in a deed to Jonathan Lewis
for a four hundred right in the 'squaw pit purchase'."
"i February 17 14, the father conveyed the homestead where
Samuel Scudder now lives with one right in the old purchase to his
youngest son, Jonathan, who, in 1750, conveyed the lot to John
Bennett."
It is supposed that the father conveyed his other homestead to
his son Abiel, either by deed or will, and that he gave his lands
out of the village to his other two sons, with each a right in the old
purchase."
"AbieP Titus had three sons and three daughters, viz. :
i. Ann, wife of Stephen Ketcham, d. 1806, aged 78.
ii. Ruth, wife of William Gould, d. 1803, aged 73.

Bepartment for ^Registration of Petiigrees*
Conducted by JOHN REYNOLDS TOTTEN.
THE NEW YORK GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY
conducts a department for the purpose of examining, approving and
publishing pedigrees of individual applicants.
The Society will accept for examination the pedigree of ANY INE
VIDUAL, whether a member of the Society or not.
Those desiring to take advantage of the facilities thus ofTered should apply
to the Society for the authorized blank form on which to record the pedigree to
be submitted for examination (enclosing 50 cents in payment for the blank).
Applicants must either themselves, or with the assistance of professional
genealogists, fill in the form as indicated and return the same to this Society for
examination; it being understood that the regular charges made by this Society
are for examination and publication of the pedigree, and do not include genea-
logical research in the preparation of the pedigree itself.
When a pedigree is submitted for examination the applicant must send with
it a preliminary fee of $15.00. Upon the receipt of a pedigree and this preliminary
fee, the pedigree will be examined; and if approved, it will be subsequently pub-
lished, first in an issue of the New York Genealogical and Biographical
Record, and the applicant will receive 2 copies of the Record containing the pedi-
gree without further charge. The pedigree will thereafter (when a sufficient
number have accumulated) be published in a volume of a series, one volume
of which has already been issued (see Vol. VI, New York Genealogical and Bio-
graphical Society's Collections) ; and copies of this volume will be sold to those
whose pedigrees are contained therein at the special price of $5.00 a volume.
Pedigrees must be submitted to the Society in form complete for publication.
If, upon examination by the Society, essential facts are added to the pedigree by
the examiner, a nominal fee, not to exceed Sio.oo, will be charged by the Society
for ascertaining and embodying such additional information in the pedigree.
If upon examination the pedigree is found to be essentially inaccurate, it will
not be approved and will be returned to the applicant ; and the preliminary fee will
be refunded, less a charge of $10.00 for expert examination.
If, when finally examined, approved and prepared for publication, the pedi-
gree is found to require more than one page for its proper presentation, the fee
for publishing the same, as above explained, will be at the rate of $15.00 a page
(pages to be similar in size and form to those of pedigrees heretofore published in
the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, — see issues from
April, 1911, to date of this issue), but, in adjusting the final charge, credit for the
payment of the preliminary fee of $15.00 will be given to the applicant.
For the benefit of applicants desiring extra copies of their pedigrees for
family distribution, editions of 50 copies of such pedigrees will be supplied on
4-page folders of linen ledger paper, with space left for additional notes, for
a fee of $5.00.
Individuals desiring their pedigrees prepared for examination, approval
and later publication by this Society, and who are unfamiliar with the methods
to pursue to secure the necessary information to establish such pedigrees, or
who are unable to devote the required time to their preparation, — are invited
to address this .Society with a view to being put in communication with a
professional genealogist capable of establishing and submitting them (when
established) in proper form to this Society for publication.
Applications for examination, approval and publishing pedigrees under the
condition hereabove set forth should be made to the
NEW YORK GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY,
226 West 58TH Street, New York City.

No. 113. AVERY SAMUEL PUTNAM AVER\
Avery Arms:
Arms: Gules, a chevron between three bezants, or.
Crest: Two lions gambs or, supporting a bezant.
The use of the above described arms by the Dedham, Mass., branch of the Avery Family in the United
States is beyond question right and proper. The above described arms were used by the immigrant ancestor
William^ Avery of Dedham, who brought with him to America in 1650 a painting of these same arms, whicb
painting has passed down by inheritance from him through an unbroken line of successive generations to the
present day, when this ancient family heirloom was acquired by Samuel Putnam'" Avery, Esq. (whose Averj
line of blood is here recorded), and by him presented in January, I919, to the Dedham, Mass., Historical
Society, where it will hereafter remain amongst its valued archives. Since the time of the said William'
Avery of Dedham, there has been in the possession of the family through an unbroken line of successive
generations of descent to the present time, a silver seal having engraved there-upon the above described^
arms and crest, which original ancient seal is also now among the Avery family collection in the Dedham;
Historical Society. There is positive evidence of the use of this seal officially by a descendant of William^
Avery, for it was used as a seal affixed to the signature of William' Avery (William,' Dr. William^ (the immi-n'
grant), Robert,' William,* Robert'), who was witness to the will of Joseph Dummer of Dorchester in 1721; it
was also used as affixed to the signature of this same William* Avery in a deed from James Whiting to him
dated July 10, 1724; and a cut of the seal as used on the Dumner will may be seen in the Heraldic Journal
Vol. H (1865), p. 184.
The arms above described are identical with the English Avery Arms of Huwish, Co. Somerset, and
Enfield, Co. Middlesex, England, as described by Burke (1844), with the slight heraldic "difference" of a
"fesse" being displayed in the English Arms and a. chevron displayed by the Dedham, Mass., branch of the!
family in America.
The arms on seal and painting were brought over to this country in 1650 by the immigrant ancestor, het
being then an Englishman and entitled to bear them as a member of an armigerous family, these arms were
in constant possession and use of this immigrant ancestor's descendants from 1650 up to the present time.
Up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence they were used under the direct sanction of thet
English laws of heraldry. War with Great Britain and our subsequent severance of allegiance to that country
and final establishment of national independence did in no way nullify the laws governing private property
nor vitiate in any way the private rights of individuals or families, — therefore the right and propriety of the
Dedham branch of the Avery family to bear this particular armorial blazon is as good to-day as^it was when
they first used it in America notwithstanding our national separation from Great Britain.

began his career as a mere boy as an engraver in a bank note engraving company and soon became an expert wooc
engraver. His natural love of art and his mastery of the technique of wood engraving soon permitted him to establist
himself as an independent engraver, doing work for Harpers, Putnam, Appleton and other well known publishers 0
that period. He occasionally edited and illustrated compilations of his own selection. He thus in pursuance with hi;
natural talent became intimate with artists and amateurs of art and became the friendly agent by means of whoir
these artists and amateur collectors were brought together in close relationship.^ During this time he had formed J
collection of cabinet pictures at his then home in Brooklyn, which were freely exhibited. In 1865 he removed hi:
engraving rooms to Broadway and Fourth Street, New York City, and there continued his business of engraving anc
publishing and extended this business to the purchase and selling of pictures. In 1867 in recognition ol his experl
knowledge, be was appointed the Commissioner-in-charge of the American ,\rt Department of the Paris Universa
Exhibition, where in his double capacity of artist and official representative of the United States, he extended hi!
acquaintance with the artists of all countries, and studied and perfected himself as an expert and critic of the methods
and merits of all the then existing schools of art. While in Paris he made extensive purchases of pictures and othe:
objects of art lor his own personal business and also for other American private collectors who were his clients. It
1868 he opened his place of business at 88 Filth .Avenue, 'where for 20 years he was an art dealer, constantly improvio(

Burch, then her full maiden name was Ruth Burcb instead of Elizabeth Burch.

Res. Brooklyn. N. Y., and New York City, where his residence at the time of his death was at No. 4 East 38th Street. He
began his career as a mere boy as an engraver in a bank note engraving company and soon became an expert wood
engraver. His natural love of art and his mastery of the technique of wood engraving soon permitted him to establish
himself as an independent engraver, doing work for Harpers, Putnam, .Appleton and other well known publishers of
that period. He occasionally edited and illustrated compilations of his own selection. He thus in pursuance with his
natural talent became intimate with artists and amateurs of art and became the friendly agent by means of whom
these artists and amateur collectors were brought together in close relationship. During this time he had formed a
collection of cabinet pictures at his then home in Brooklyn, which were freely exhibited. In 1865 he removed his
engraving rooms to Broadway and Fourth Street, New York C^ity, and there continued his business of engraving and
publishing and extended this business to the purchase and selling of pictures. In 1867 in recognition of his expert
knowledge, he was appointed the Commissioner-in-charge of the American .Art Department of the Paris Universal
Exhibition, where in his double capacity of artist and official representative of the United States, he extended his
acquaintance with the artists of all countries, and studied and perfected himself as an expert and critic of the methods
and merits of all the then existing schools of art. While in Paris he made extensive purchases of pictures and other
objects of art for his own personal business and also for other American private collectors who were his clients. In
1868 he opened his place of business at 88 Fifth .Avenue, 'where for 20 years he was an art dealer, constantly improving
the class of the art objects which passed through his hands and distributing to his clients all over this country the best
examples of domestic and foreign production. During this period he made frequent exhibitions of paintings, water
color drawings, etchings, engravings, and porcelains, bronzes, etc., etc. — thereby doing much to elevate public taste
and increase general knowledge in regard to art in general. In addition to the management of his own gallery, on ac-
count of his expert knowledge, judgment and business connection with artists and art centers abroad, he was called
upon to assist in the formation of private collections by the most noted collectors of the day. In fact he was the pioneer
and leading expert and exponent of art in New York iZity of his time. He was one of the founders of the Metropolitan
Museum of .Art, and for thirty-four years served continuouslv as a Trustee of that notable institution. He was a member
of the Executive Committee of the Civil Service Reform .Association of New York City for nine years. On March 17. 1897,
he was the recipient of a gift from seventy-five of his friends and admirers, of a gold medal struck off in commemor-
ation of his seventy-fifth birthday. He served as President and Vice-President of the Grolier Club of New York City
and was for many years a member of its Council. He was a Veteran of the 23rd Regiment of the National Guard of
the State of New York. He was a member of the original committee having charge of the erection of the Bartholdi
Statue of Liberty on Bedloe's Island. New York Harbor. In 1896 he had conferred upon him the honorary degree of
Master of Arts of Columbia University. He was a Life Member and Trustee of the New York Genealogical and Bio-
graphical Society; a member of the New York Society of the Colonial Wars and a gentleman of the (Council of that

until 1705.) Tile Pequot plantation was on the Grotori and Mystic side of the Thames River. John^ Culver was a
Rogerene by faith: this religious sect was very unpopular in New London, as they denounced as unscriptural all inter-
ference by the Civil authorities in the. worship of God; they were the first body in the Scate of Connecticut to denounce
the doctrine of taxation without representation. J ohn^ Culver, his son, was also a Rogerene: both father and son suffered
oppression and imprisonment on account of their religious belief. The date of marriage of Mary Winthrop to John^

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 regaraing the
Vital Records of any and all localities. It also solicits the donation to the manuscript collections
of its library of 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 beat once
placed upon the shelves of its library and will be reviewed in the next subsequent issue of The
New Vork GEiNE.\LOGi<;AL and Hiographical 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 ist of the previous year; for the April issue, before March ist; for the
July issue before June ist; and for the October issue, before September ist.
hW 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 e-xpect from the editorial staff or 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.

Mr. Richard Warren, Mayfiozver Passenger and his family connection with
Thomas Little, William Avery, 1650, Thomas Fairchild, 1638, Richard Park,
1635, Thomas Little, 1630, compiled by Samuel Putnam Avery, Esq., of No. 61
Woodland Street, Hartford, Conn., Member and Vice-President of the New
York Genealogical and Biographical Society and also member of the New
York Historical Society; Dedham, Mass., Historical Society; Westerly, R. L,
1920.] Book Reviews. gj
Historical Society ; Connecticut Historical Society, Hartford, Conn. ; National
Genealogical Society, Washington, D. C. ; New England Historic Genealogical
Society. Hartford, 1919. Octavo, cloth, pp. 140, about, with 21 illustrations
of family interest, and an elaborate index for each family record. A limited
edition of 250 copies for private distribution.
This excellent compilation gives a well digested and accurate record of
the English origin of the Avery Family, and of the American (Dedham,
Mass.) branch of the family; gives a detailed record of William'' Avery, of
Dedham (the immigrant ancestor) and the line of his descendants terminat-
ing in the record of the compiler of the work, Samuel Putnam^^ Avery. The
Fairchild section of the work gives the Fairchild pedigree of Samuel Putnam
Avery (the compiler of the work) back to Thomas' Fairchild of Stratford,
Conn, (the immigrant ancestor). The Park section gives the Park Pedigree
of the compiler back to Richard^ Park of Cambridge (the immigrant
ancestor).
The work is most exhaustive in detailed information, historical, bio-
graphical and genealogical, along the specific lines of the pedigrees compiled
and will be of standard authoritative reference value to all those of Avery,
Fairchild and Park blood.
As the title indicates the volume also contains notes of interest on
Richard' Warren the Pilgrim; and on Thomas Little the immigrant ancestor
who married Richard' Warren's daughter, Ann Warren, and gives the
compiler's Warren Pedigree back to Richard' Warren.
It is to be hoped that this meritorious work will find its place on the
shelves of all the well founded genealogical libraries of this country. We
congratulate Mr. Avery for having devoted the time, when occupied along
so many lines of public interest, to prepare and produce so excellent a volume.
Brereton — A Family History, by John Brereton, of No. 1415 Tenth
Avenue, San Francisco, Cal. 1919. Octavo, cloth, pp. 68, illustrated. Price,
$2.50. Address : author.
This small volume comprises within its limited capacity much informa-
tion of value to students of the history and genealogy of this family, and it is
therefore called to the attention of libraries whose shelves devote space to
genealogy.
PiscATAQUA Pioneers, 1623-1775. Register of Members and Ancestors.

Dover, N. H.
A valuable addition to the information available on the subject of old
New Hampshire Families. A list of the members of the Society of Piscataqua
Pioneers is given, with list of their ancestors, and this is further elaborated
by sketches of the various pioneers, containing vital facts of value to the
genealogists. Recommended to genealogical libraries.
A History of St. George's Church in the City of Schenectady, N. Y.,
by Willis T. Hanson, Jr., A. M. Privately printed and copyrighted, 1919.
J 8vo, cloth, 2 vols., pp. 187, 212, illustrated. Price, $10.00 a set. Address:
■\ Miss Mary T. Graves, c/o The Union National Bank, Schenectady, N. Y.
We have been patiently awaiting the appearance of this work, as we were
aware of its preparation and may honestly say that in this instance the joy
of realization far e.xceeds that of anticipation. Prior knowledge of the
thoroughness of the author's previous work led us to hope for an excellent
production and we are in no way disappointed. Volume I deals with the
history pure and simple of this old English Church founded in 1751. This
history is complete in all details and the text is enriched by beautiful illustra-
tions showing the various periods of development of the original structure
and its parsonage and portraits of its various rectors to the present day.
The parish and the public cannot fail to be well satisfied with this historical
presentation. To this, the first volume, there is appended a list of church
officers from the founding of the church to date of publication and a name
index. Volume H contains a record of the Baptisms from 1753 to 1850;
96
Book Reviews. [Jan.
Marriages, 1771 to 1850; Burials, 1771-188S; and a register of births, 1767-1788.
It is this second volume which adds the crown to the first (we speak largely
from a genealogist's standpoint). Many church histories are written that
fail to embody within their contents the vital records of their church's
activity, and this failure renders such volumes of little vital interest outside
of the parish of which the history treats. Put the vital records in such a
history and its appeal reaches all over the country, wherever the strain of
blood of its original parishioners may have wandered. We congratulate Mr.
Hanson on his well accomplished task and take the greatest pleasure in
recommending the work to all libraries in the State of New York, to all
genealogical and historical libraries and to those individuals who may have
sprung from St. George's parishioners.
History and Genealogy of the Harlan Family and Particularly of
THE Descendants of George and Michael Harlan Who Settled in
Chester County, Pa., 1687. Compiled by Alpheus H. Harlan (No. 4816 in
the genealogy), large, 8vo, half morocco, pp. 1065, including an exhaustive
85 page name index and 51 illustrations of family interest. Price in buckram,
$10.00. Address : William H. Harlan, New Burlington, Ohio.
This is a standard genealogical compilation of the first class. It deals
with the origin of this originally English family that moved to Ireland and
there affiliated with Quakers and subsequently emigrated to America in 1687,
the time of the Quaker exodus, and settled in Chester County, Pa.. Owing
to the general excellence and detail of the early "Friends" records in
Pennsylvania, the volume is characterized by more than customary recording
of the vital facts of each generation. We welcome the work to our
library and recommend it to all genealogical libraries as of great value
genealogically and well worth the purchase price.
The Goodridge Genealogy, A History of the Descendants of William
Goodridge, who came to America from Bury St. Edmunds, England, in 1636,
and settled in Watertown, Mass., with some inquiry into the History of the
Family in England and the Origin of the Same, by Edwin Alonzo Goodridge.
A. M., M. D. Privately printed. 1918. Octavo, cloth, pp. 313, including name
index, with frontispiece and other plates, including fac-similes of Goodridge
Arms and portrait of the author. Limited edition of 275 copies. Address :
Lyman H. Weeks, 2352 University Avenue, N. Y. City.
This valuable genealogical work was received by this Society in August,
1918, and was noticed in the Accession List in the October, 1918, issue of the
Record. That it has not been before noticed in our "Book Reviews" is an
unexplainable oversight which we greatly deplore.
The work itself is constructed along standard genealogical lines and
within the limit of its field is exhaustive and gives all indications of accuracy
in its subject matter. It is a most valuable contribution to the genealogy
of this family in America and is further increased in value by an essay on
the English origin and history of the family in England. Genealogical
Libraries not already supplied should endeavor to secure copies of this volume.
The Curzon Family of New York and Baltimore and Their English
Descent, by J. Hall Pleasants, M. D., of No. 201 Longwood Road, Roland
Park, Md. Quarto, cloth, pp. 75, including name index, illustrated. Balti-
more, 1919. Not for sale.
The American branch of this English family was founded by Richard
Curzon, of London and New York, who came to this country in 1747,
married in New York and removed to Baltimore, Md., leaving descendants
in both cities. The author has devoted much time and study to the verification
of the descent of this branch of the family from the Curzons of Kedleston,
which descent was recorded in old manuscripts and pedigrees brought to this
country by the immigrant Richard Curzon. The work is well constructed
and bears evidence of painstaking authentic search and compilation, and is
presented to the genealogical public in the best form of the printer's art.

This excellent volume, carries on the genealogical record so well begun
and carried on in three of the set that preceded it. It gives finish to an
already valuable production. We have called attention to the excellence of
the preceding volumes in past reviews and wish to re-emphasize our praise

The title well sets forth the contents of this volume. The work is
arranged largely in the narrative style, and outside of its purely genealogical
contents is most interesting and instructive as to topics mentioned in the
title. There are some 100 illustrations which enrich the volume, and the
author has evidently spent much time and care in the presentation of the
volume to the public. It is heartily recommended to all genealogical
libraries.
Alexander Brown and His Descendants, 1764-1916, compiled by Mary
Elizabeth Brown. Privately printed. 1917. 8vo, cloth, pp. 158, illustrated.
This attractive volume compiled primarily for family distribution devotes
itself entirely to setting forth the record of Alexander Brown (b. Nov. 17,
1764, in Ballymena, Ireland) who came to this country and settled in Balti-
more in 1800. He was a son of William Brown (1715-1778) by his wife
Margaretta Davison. Much information is given relating to the English
blood connections ; and as the descendants of Alexander Brown have inter-
married into some of the best families in this country, the work is rendered
greatly interesting to the genealogist. Recommended to all genealogical
libraries.

We call attention to our review of the first volume of this series which
appeared in the October, 1917, issue of the Record. The second volume is a
worthy companion to the first, and the name of the Editor, endorses the
excellence and accuracy of the subject matter of the volume. The series will
be of great value to students of the history and genealogy of New Haven and
its environment, and librarians should place the work as a reference volume

The first 158 pages of this beautifully presented volume deals entirely
with the genealogy of the Fales Family from James^ Fales (1651-1708) of
Dedham, Mass., to the eighth generation of the present day. The work is
well presented in standard form and is of unquestioned authenticity as to the
subject matter therein contained. Pages 159 to 217 are devoted to genealogical
notes on the Haliburton Family reprinted with additions and changes from
the original article on the family contained in the New England Historic
Gen. Register for January, 1917, and compiled by the well-known gene-
alogist, Arthur Wentworth Hamilton Eaton, D. C. L. This portion of
the work is of the e.xcellence we would naturally expect from its well known
author. The rest of the volume is made up of charts setting forth various
blood lines of Haliburton Fales, Esq., of New York City, the father of
De Coursey Fales.
All genealogical libraries should endeavor to secure a copy of this work.

A most excellent example of works of this character that are issued
now and then by Colleges and Universities. Such works are always of
great value to genealogical students and this particular volume is replete with
vital facts of value to the student of family history. It is of particular value
also in containing the present post office addresses of living Alumni.
Recommended to General Reference and Genealogical libraries.

Family History of the Lawrences of Cornwall (England), compiled
by the Rev. Alexander Gordon for Lady Durning-Lawrence (Edith J.
Durning-Lawrence), of No. 13 Carlton House Terrace. S. W., London, Eng-
land. Octavo, cloth, pp. 80-t-xxiv, with 45 most excellent photogravure
illustrations of family interest. Privately printed 1915. For copies apply to
Lady Durning-Lawrence at the above address.
Lady Durning-Lawrence, in the preface to this work says, "It was my
intention merely to write a short outline of my husband's life, to be placed
with his library of books, in order that future generations might know what
manner of man he was who had made the collection. When, however, I came
to examine more closely the family history of the Lawrences of Cornwall, I
thought that their rapid rise from obscurity to prominence was worth
recording."
The library thus referred to in the above quotation was purchased and
collected with one aim, "and that aim was to prove that Francis Bacon was
at the head ot a great literary and scientific society whence emanated
all the Elizabethan and Jacobean literature, a literature, it has been said,
in which the same language was used and the same moral purpose expressed."
The intention of the compiler has been carefully carried out and there results
a work replete with genealogical material concerning the descendants of Joseph
Lawrence of St. Ives, Cornwall his wife and Alice Bennetts of St. Just's
Parish, Cornwall, who were married Dec. 29, 1718, at St. Just's Parish Church.
The work is evidently a labor of love and is beautifully presented and
artistically illustrated and will be a choice accession to any library that may
secure a copy. The genealogical data therein contained will be of interest
to those of Lawrence blood in this country. We congratulate ourselves on
having secured a copy of this valuable work.

The Livingstons of C.^llendar, and Their Principal Cadets. The His-
tory of an old Stirlingshire Family, by Edwin Brockholst Livingston, author of
The Livingstons of Livingston Manor. New Edition, entirely rewritten and
greatly enlarged. Illustrated, pp. about 550, crown quarto. Price before
publication delivered in Great Britain £3, 3s net ; delivered in the United
States express paid and duty free, $18.00 net (or its equivalent in English
exchange). Address the author, Mr. E. B. Livingston, No. 11 Quex Road,
Westgate-on-Sea, Kent, England.
The author has devoted much labor and time in the preparation of this
new edition of his original work In the preface to the volume he states:
"The original strictly limited and privately printed edition of The Livingstons
of Callendar and their Principal Cadets, which was published thirty years
ago, has for a long time been out of print. In 1910, the second part of this
history, containing the account of the American branches of this ancient
Scottish House, was republished in New York as a separate work under the
title of The Livingstons of Livingston Manor. The first part, containing
the history of the family in Scotland, France, etc., is now republished in the
present volume. This new edition contains important fresh genealogical data
supplied by the recently published Scots Peerage, under the able editorship
of Sir James Balfour Paul, C. V. O., Lord Lyon King of Arms, and by the
author's own extensive researches made since his first edition was issued. It
has been entirely rewritten, and includes several additional chapters treating
of various Livingston cadets, of whom no particulars have hitherto been
given in any genealogical publication. The present volume also contains a
set of Heraldic Plates, which have been specially executed for this new
edition by Mr. Graham Johnston, Heraldic Artist to the Lyon Court, as well
as copies of family portraits, most of which have never been reproduced before.
At the special request of some of his American correspondents, the
author has added chapters xxii and xxiii on 'The Scottish Genealogy of the
Livingstons of the Lordship and Manor of Livingston, of New York,' and
'Notes on some Scottish Castles and Mansions owned or occupied by
Livingstons in the Olden Time.' "
The work will contain 25 chapters and 5 genealogical charts in addi-
tion to a chronology of the most notable events in the History of the
Livingstons of Callendar and also a list of Livingston titles in the Peerage
of Scotland.
The volume will be a notable accession to genealogical libraries and it is
sincerely to be hoped that all those of the blood will avail themselves of an
opportunity to at once secure a copy at advance-of-publication price.
Recommended most heartily to all genealogical libraries.

MRS. JAMES MARSLAND LAWTON.
Contributed by Hon. Edward R. Finch,
Judfe of the Supreme Court, State of New York.
" Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might."
Ecclesiastes, Chap. 9, loth Verse.
At a time when the idleness and excesses of some possessors of
great wealth do more to sow and nurture the seeds of discontent
than do the brainless mouthings of some ignorant unkempt political
agitators, it is refreshing to recall brieHy the life and works of a
truly American woman who possessed in full measure the charm-
ing combination of ability and womanliness.
Eliza Macintosh Clinch (Anderson) Lawton, a life member of
the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, was born in
Baltimore, Md., the oldest daughter of General Robert Anderson and
Eliza Bayard Clinch. In girlhood and young womanhood she showed
an aptitude for learning and a balance and poise which gave prom-
ise of the real accomplishment which was later to come. She was
married on July 31, 1886, to James Marsland Lawton. Then fol-
lowed a married life of true harmony and happiness until Mr. Law-
ton's death nine years later in February, 1895. With their great
fondness for children it was a regret to both that no children lived
to bless their union.
At "The Bungalow," her home in Elizabethtown, the Adiron-
dacks, on Augtist 22, 1919, Mrs. Lawton began the Life Immortal.
Two days later, in the cool of a summer evening, to the music of
the wonderful chimes (a gift of Mrs. Lawton) from the tower of
West Point Chapel, Drs. Slattery and Silver officiating, the body of
Mrs. Lawton was laid at rest in the beautiful military cemetery at
West Point, beside that of her husband and opposite that of her
father, the hero of Fort Sumter, and beneath a stone upon which
is reproduced in carving the altar of her beloved Grace Church as it
appeared on Palm Sunday.
Mrs. Lawton was the author of the following volumes : Memorial
of Fort Sumter; History of the Soldiers' Home at Washington,
D. C; Papier du Consistoire de I'Englise de Narragansett, A. D.
I02 Mrs. fames Marslatid Lawton. [April
1667, being a complete translation of the original records of the
French Church at Narragansett ; a compilation of the Fourth Edi-
tion of Huguenot Ancestors ; Bibliography of the Library of the
Huguenot Society of America; and in addition thereto many other
valuable essays and contributions of historical and genealogical
character. At the time of her death, Mrs. Lawton was engaged in
editing a volume of Memoirs consisting of letters and papers of her
father, General Anderson.
Holding a belief that love of country is strengthened and fos-
tered by the cherishing and honoring of the American forefathers,
Mrs. Lawton was a Founder and the first President of the Daugh-
ters of the Cincinnati, and its Honorary President at the time of her
death. For thirty years Mrs. Lawton labored untiringly in behalf
of the Huguenot Society of America, serving that society as chair-
man of various committees and then as Secretary, and at the time
of her death, holding the office of Honorary Secretary. Likewise,
she was serving on the Board of Managers of St. Luke's Home for
Aged Women and the Home for Friendless Girls, and was at one
time a director of the Holland Dames and of the women's Municipal
League ; she rendered efficient service in work among the Indians.
Mrs. Lawton was a member of the following societies, in addi-
tion to those already enumerated : Life Member of the New York
Historical Society, Society of Colonial Dames, Society of Colonial
Lords of the Manor, Society of Colonial Governors, and was an
elected Fellow of the Huguenot Society of London. She also took
a leading part in many assemblages of historical and social interest,
notably the Tercentenary Celebration of the Promulgation of the
Edict of Nantes in 1898. The return of each Memorial Day was the
occasion for her to welcome to the grave of their beloved General
Anderson, the members of the Anderson Post and the Anderson
Zouaves. Mrs. Lawton found time also to beautify usefulness by
the erection of a fountain at the United States Military Academy
at West Point, and in installing the exquisite chimes in the tower of
the new chapel there ; and also by placing a window memorial to her
illustrious father. General Robert Anderson, at Fortress Monroe,
Va. She also erected Clergy House, a necessary addition to the
group of buildings connected with Grace Chapel, New York City,
upon which building is inscribed :
"THIS BUILDING STANDS AS A
MEMORIAL
OF THE UNSELFISH LIFE OF
JAMES MARSLAND LAWTON
MDCCCXXIX-MDCCCXCV
LIGHT IS SOWN FOR THE RIGHTEOUS AND
GLADNESS FOR THE UPRIGHT IN HEART."
As an example of broad vision, although Mrs. Lawton was for
many years a communicant of Grace Church* and an active worker
* Protestant Episcopal.
Ig20.] The Tibbitts or Tibbetts Family. IO3
and contributor in its behalf, she also helped to beautify, by present-
ing exquisite windows to the Old First Presbyterian Church at Fifth
Avenue and Twelfth Street, whose fitting architecture and setting
fills a large spot in the hearts of all native New Yorkers.
t 'With all these many activities Mrs. Lawton still found time to
make and keep a host of friends, among whom were many men and
women of much prominence. The late Col. Roosevelt and Gen.
Wood are examples of the latter.
An apt appreciation of whatever gave zest and coloring to social
life, and a keen versatility, contributed in no small part to the charm
and attraction which her society bestowed. These qualities, added
to her balance of mind, good judgment and insight, caused Mrs.
Lawton to hold a place of peculiar power and position among her
many friends, admirers and followers — not only in her own beloved
country, which she served so well before and during the war, but in
the countries of our allies. Her place and her position will remain
always her own. She has left an influence and a memorable im-
pression upon the various pursuits in which she was engaged that
will long be remembered. She was a worker and a leader of others,
in service for God and her country.

(a) Walter' H., who was the elder son. He joined
the British army in 1855 and served in the
Crimean War, during which he was twice
wounded before Sebastopol. Later, he enlisted
in the 42nd Regiment, which was sent to India,
where he fell mortally wounded in the attack
for the relief of Lucknow. He was never m.
(b) James.' When still a young man, this son left
home, and was never heard from afterward.
79. William^ Tippett, Jr. (Wm.* and Martha Hunt). It is with
much regret that we are obliged to report our inability to
relate anything more concerning this only son of Wm., .Sr. We
cannot say whether he ever reached his majority or ever mar-
ried. He seems to have disappeared from history during the
war and is not heard from afterward. He may have been a
Tory if living during the war, but we have been unable to
locate any record of the confiscation of any Tippett property.
He was not in Nova Scotia in 1784, with his sister Martha and
Cousin Gilbert, who were really the only known and avowed
Royalists in the family. He may have started with them and
died at sea or he may have removed to R. I. or to Maine. A
careful search of land deeds at White Plains might determine
the fate of his lands on Tippett's Neck and throw some light
on his history, but we have found no opportunity to make such
a search. We can only suggest that anyone who is anxious to
follow up the history of Wm. Jr., and his cousins, should
Io6 The Tibbitts or Tibbetls Family, [April
devote several days to making a thorough search at White
Plains, where there are extensive records.

The above genealogy is, of course, very incomplete, and in reality
professes to be only a beginning. We especially regret our inability to
discover and present some account of the descendants of the 5 male
cousins bearing the name Tippett, and who are mentioned in 1761
and 1769, viz. : George,^ Thomas,^ Henry, ^ Stephen^ and Wm.,° Jr.
As to George,^ there is one other possible theory in addition to that
given under No. 64 of the genealogy. This is, that the George Tip-
pett who m. Eleanor De Voe, might possibly have been a son
of George'^ or even of Thomas,^ instead of George^ himself as
argued above. We think this unlikely, but it all depends on whether
George* could have been born as far back as 1710, and his sons
George^ and Thomas^ as ea'dy as 1730-35, and married about 171^5.
I I 6 The Tibbitts or Tibbelts Family. [April
Eleanor's husband could not have been a son of Henry, ^ Stephen,"
Gilbert'^ or Wm.,'^ Jr. It is possible that Stephen^ of N. Y. City, who
was a voter there as early as Feb., 1761, may have had a grandson
named Daniel. His brother Gilbert^ had a grandson named Daniel,
and according to the records of the Brick Presbyterian Church of
N. Y. City, there was also in that city a "Daniel D. Tibbets" who
married Harriet Smith on Feb. 24, 1816. There was still another
"Daniel Tibbet" who signed a petition in Westchester Co. in April,
1778. He seems to have lived in the Town of Bedford, and though
he may possibly have been a son of Geo.^ or of Thomas,^ it appears
more likely that he had come into Bedford from Conn, or R. I. We
also find that in 1809 there was a "William Tippets" out in Ontario
Co., who might have been Wm.,° Jr., of Westchester Co., or more
likely, a son of a certain "Henry Tippet" (perhaps Henry^ of
Yonkers), who in 1790, lived in the town of Mohawk, Montgomery
Co. This Henry of Montgomery Co., had 4 sons and 6 daughters
and it may be that he was the ancestor of the Tippet family at Mid-
dleburg, Schoharie Co., instead of Henry of Catskill, as suggested on
an earlier page of this work. For the benefit of any who may desire
to investigate further the question as to what became of George,"
Thomas,'' Henry'' and Wm.,^ Jr., of Yonkers, shortly before the war,
we would suggest that they consult the census of 1790. and in addi-
tion to those already named, that is, Henry of Catskill, Henry of
Mohawk. Thomas of Easton, Washington Co., and Wm. of Ontario
Co., in 1809, search also for local records of George of Monkton,
Addison Co., Vt. ; George of Glastonbury, Bennington Co., Vt. ;
James of Pittstown, Rens. Co., N. Y. ; Henry of Westport, Bristol
Co., Mass. ; Thomas of Litchfield, Conn., and Wm. of Warwick, R. I.
These are a few names selected from about 123 heads of Tibbitts
families in N. Y. and New England in 1790. During or after the
war Thomas* Tippett moved to North Castle, Westchester Co,,
where he was living in May, 1784.
The Tippett family in Westchester Co. suffered many hardships
during the Revolutionary War, for they lived right in the heart of
the conflict, in the Neutral Ground, which might be called the No-
Man's Land of that day. Several forts were built just north of their
home and others near by just across the Spuyten Duyvil Creek on
Manhattan Island. What it meant to them with the war raging all
about them, with neighbor fighting against neighbor and with their
own family divided in its allegiance, it is difficult to realiz2 even in
these days. We are pleased to say, however, that there is no record
that any of the few in the family who were known or believed to be
Royalists, ever took any active part in the fighting. They may have
been restrained by regard for their more numerous relatives who
were actually fighting on the other side. Gilbert'^ was the most out-
spoken Royalist among them and his history is continued in part
second of this work, which immediately follows.

William Waldorf Astor, Baron Astor of Hever, Viscount
Astor, capitalist, statesman, diplomatist, author, man of letters, pub-
lisher and philanthropist, was born in the old Astor mansion, Fifth
Avenue and Thirty-third Street, New York City, March 31, 1848.
He was the son of John Jacob Astor, of New York, by his wife,
Charlotte Augusta Gibbes, daughter of a well-known merchant of
South Carolina. He died suddenly of heart disease in his home at
Brighton, England, October 18, 1919, in his 72nd year. He was
educated by private tutors in Europe and the United States, and
graduated from Columbia University Law School, LL.B., in 1875.
He was the first of the Astors in the United States to depart
from the established custom of devoting all time to the advance-
ment of the business interests of the great landed holdings of the
family. He entered into the political life of his native land, and in
1877, was elected an Assemblyman to represent a district of New
York City ; in 1879, he was elected a State Senator from the Eleventh
Senatorial District of that State, in which capacity he served until
1881. In 1882, he was appointed by President Arthur as Minister
to Italy, a diplomatic position which he filled until 1885. His life
in Italy, outside of his diplomatic career, was that of a man of let-
ters, and it was during his residence in that land of romance that
he wrote his two well-known novels depicting Italian mediaeval life.
During this same period, he was a frequent anonymous contributor
of sonnets and verses for publication in his own magazines in Lon-
don, Eng. In 1890, he succeeded his father as the head of his
branch of the Astor family in the LTnited States, and shortly there-
after, removed to England to live, making his home in London at
his residence, Carlton House Terrace. On July 11. 1899, he became
a British subject. He purchased from the late Duke of Westminster
the palatial "Cliveden" estate at Taplow, Bucks, England, which he
extensively restored and subsequently gave to his oldest son as a
wedding gift. Previously, he had purchased Anne Boleyn's birth-
place, Tudor Castle, at Hever, near Seven Oaks, Kent, which with
its adjacent village and surrounding properties he very greatly beau-
tified. It was there that he made his principal English home until
removing to Brighton, where he went into retirement some two years
before his death.
In 1893, he purchased the Pall Mall Gazette, then an influential
afternoon publication, and he established the Pall Mall Magazine.
In 191 1, he purchased the Obsenrr. a leading Sunday paper.
Through the medium of these publications he wielded some political
influence in support of the Conservative party. During the year
1914, he sold the Pall Mall Gazette and the Pall Mall Magazine and
gave the Observer to his son, Waldorf Astor.
His charitable donations were munificent. At the time of the
San Francisco earthquake, although no longer an American citizen,
he gave $100,000 for the relief of the suflferers from that catas-
trophe. The great World's War gave Viscount Astor opportunity
for large and well directed philanthropy. He contributed generously
1920.J Necrology, I919. I I 9
to assist organizations for the relief of the orphaned and wounded,
throwing open his estates for the shelter of invalided soldiers and
war workers, and in all ways he was at the service of the Govern-
ment when called upon.
In the 1916 New Year List, King George made him a peer with
the title of Baron Astor of Hever, and in the King's Birthday List
of June, 1917, he was elevated to the rank of Viscount. On elevation
to the peerage, in the necessary formality attendant upon such eleva-
tion, in registering his coat-of-arms at the herald's office, he adopted
arms wherein the principal armorial devices on the shield were the
figures of a North American Indian and that of a fur trapper to-
gether with a falcon resting on an armed wrist. The falcon was
the device of the House of D'Astorga of Castile, Spain, from which
house he traced his descent from the year 1085.
In 1878, he married Mary Dahlgren Paul, daughter of James
W. Paul, of Philadelphia. They at that time made their home at
No. 4 East Thirty-third Street, New York City, with summer resi-
dence at Newport, R. I. His wife died in England, in 1894, and
her remains were brought to New York City and deposited in the
Astor vault in Trinity Church Yard.
He is survived by his elder son. Major the Honorable Waldorf
Astor, M.P., of "Cliveden," who married Mrs. Nancy Witcher
(Langhorne) Shaw, of Virginia, and who succeeded to his father's
titles ; and by a younger son. Captain the Honorable John Jacob
Astor of London, who married Lady (Minto) Nairne; and by a
daughter Pauline Astor, who married Captain H. H. Spender-Clay,
a veteran of the Boer War and Unionist M. P. for the Tonbridge
Division of Kent.

born on a farm in Rodman. Jefferson Co., N. Y., April 13, 1852.
He was a son of John H. Woolworth by his wife Fanny McBrier,
and on his father's side a descendant of Richard Woolworth, who

Glen Cove, L. L, N. Y., April 8, 1919, in his 67th year.
1920.] Necrology, ic)i(). 121
Mr. Woolworth was educated in the district public schools in
the winter time, working on the farm in the summer time, and at
the age of nineteen he entered a Commercial College in Watertown,
N. Y. He began his business career in 1873, as a porter for a dry-
goods firm in Watertown, N. Y. After filling several business posi-
tions, he started his first five and ten cent store in Utica, N. Y., on
February 22, 1879, ^"d subsequently opened similar stores in several
cities in Pennsylvania. He started these enterprises in debt ; and
during the first few years of his engagement in this business, failure
attended his efforts. By 1886, he had established a permanent foun-
dation for his business and thereafter continued to open new stores
as fast as his finances would permit him to do so without borrowing
money. In 1895, he opened his first big store in Brooklyn, N. Y. In
19 1 2, he combined his various stores into a single corporation, known
as the F. W. Woolworth Company, with a capital of $65,000,000,
owning and operating over one thousand stores in the United States
and Canada, and seventy-five stores in Great Britain. His success
was the logical result of his initiative, persistence and exceptional
business genius.
As a fitting crown to his remarkable career, he erected the colos-
sal fifty-seven story Woolworth Building in New York City, 792
feet high— the tallest building in the world — at a cost of $14,000,-
000, every dollar of which came from the profits made in the five and
ten cent stores of the Woolworth Company. This building stood
free of mortgage and debt at the time of Mr. Woolworth's death.
Mr. Woolworth was a director of the Irving National Bank of
New York City, a member of the Chamber of Commerce and of
the Merchants' Association of New York City, and also a member
of several social and business men's clubs.
He married, June 11, 1876, at Grand Bend, N. Y., Jennie Creigh-
ton, daughter of Thomas Creighton, of Picton, Ontario, Canada.
He is survived by his widow, who is an invalid, and by three daugh-
ters, viz.: Helena, the wife of Charles E. F. McCann; Jessie, the
wife of James Donahue, and Edna Woolworth, all of whom at
his death, resided at Mr. Woolworth's New York residence, No.
990 Fifth Avenue.
Mr. Woolworth was a Life Member of the New York Genea-
logical and Biographical Society, to which he was elected January
13, 1914.
Herbert Merritt Chester, retired, was born in Brooklyn,
N. Y., January 29, 1858. He was a son of John Hicks Chester by
his wife Emeline Merritt, who were both of Stonington, Conn. He
died at his late residence, No. 19 West io6th Street, New York City,
August 22, 19 19, in his 62nd year.
In his early life his family removed from Brooklyn, N. Y., to
North Stonington, Conn., and he received his education in the schools
of that town. He came to New York to pursue his career and early
became devoted to the study of photography and produced many
122 Necroiogy, ic)i(). | April
remarkable and artistic photographic reproductions of eastern and
western scenery. He developed a great interest in American His-
tory and became a devoted laborer in the interests of the Empire
State Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, representing
that Society at National Conventions and serving it on several im-
portant committees. In early years he was a First Sergeant in the
Rhode Island State Militia. He manifested a marked interest in
genealogical research and had compiled a biography of the Chester
Family, tracing his American ancestry back to 1663.
His maternal grandfather, Samuel Merritt, of Stonington, Conn.,
with his company of patriots in the Revolutionary War, bravely de-
fended the town against the attack of landing parties from British
ships, while his grandmother, Sally Partlow, melted her pewter
dishes and ran them into bullets, which with food for the defenders
in the early dawn of August nth, she carried on horseback to the
troops repelling the attacks. Mr. Chester married in New York City,
March 22, 1886, Mrs. Emma A. (Greely) Merrit. He is survived
by his widow. He was an Annual Member of the New York Genea-
logical and Biographical Society, to which he was elected April 20,
1916.
Lieut. Col. Asa Bird Gardiner, U. S. A., lawyer, was born in
New York City, September 30, 1839. He was the son of Asa Gar-
diner by his wife Rebeka Willard Bentley. He died suddenly of
apoplexy at his home, "Orrell Manor," Suffern, N. Y., March 28,
1919, in his 80th year. He was educated in the New York public
schools and graduated from the College of the City of New York,
A.B., 1859; A.M., 1862, and from the New York University Law
School, LL.B., i860; LL.D., 1876. He was the recipient of honor-
ary degrees from several other colleges. He was admitted to the
New York State Bar in November, i860, and was practicing in New
York when the Civil War broke out. He served from early in the
War and until wounded, July i, 1863, enrolling May 21, 1861, at
New York City, and being mustered in as First Lieutenant, Co. H,
31st N. Y. Infantry of the N. Y. State Volunteers, and rose to the
brevet rank of Captain in the U. S. Volunteers tjn May 13, 1865.
When the war was over he entered the service of the Regular Army as
a Second Lieutenant of the 9th U. S. Infantry on July 20, 1866, and
continued on active service until December 8, 1888, when he was
retired for disability incurred in the line of duty, with the rank of
Major in the Judge Advocate General's Department. He had
served as Professor of Law at the U. S. Military Academy at West
Point, with the rank of Lieut. Col., from 1874 to 1878, and was Act-
ing Assistant Secretary of War from 1887-1888. In 1917, he was
breveted Major General of the Military Forces of the State of New
York, under concurrent resolution of the State Legislature "for gal-
lant conduct in the Gettysburg campaign (of 1863, as Captain of Co.
I, 22nd Regiment of the New York Guard) and for gallant and
meritorious services during the war."

bers of the various historical or patriotic societies to which he
belonged.
He was of Mayflower descent and in later years his interests
directed themselves largely to the study of history, biography and
genealogy.
General Gardiner was married first on October 18, 1865, to
Mary Austen, who died in 1900. He married a second time, Novem-

pertaining to the sugar industry, and also for giving most valued
services to the corporations and associations to which he belonged.
His ancestry was Dutch on both sides, with the sole exception of
the ancestry of his mother, who was of early English colonial blood.
His paternal ancestor Lefifert Pieterse Van Haughwout, came from
Houghwout, Holland, in 1660, and settled in Flatbush, Long Island,
and there married Abigail Van Nuyse. His father, the late Col.
Marshall Lefiferts, commanded the 7th Regiment (National Guard
of the State of New York) in the service of the United States dur-
ing the Civil War.
Mr. LefTerts married, January 17, 1872, Edith Crane, daughter
of John Josiah Crane, of New York City. He is survived by his
widow, a son Barent Lefiferts, of New York City; a daughter, Elsie
LefTerts, who is the wife of Blair S. Williams, of New York City,
and by a grand-daughter, Edith Lefiferts Allen, the child of his
deceased daughter, Edith Crane Lefiferts, who married William
Bradford Allen, of Farmington, Conn.
Mr. Lefiferts was an Annual Member of the New York Genea-
logical and Biographical Society, to which he was elected April 13,
1900.
Calvin Sloane May, M.D., physician, was born in 1848, at
Naugatuck, Conn. He was a son of James Wilson May by his wife
Abigail P. Hotchkiss ; he died suddenly at his residence. No. 205
West 57th Street, New York City, April 26, 19 19, in his 72nd year.
He was educated in the Naugatuck schools, and graduated from
Yale University Medical School. M.D., in 1873. He was house
surgeon in the New Haven Hospital for a time, and afterwards As-
sistant Physician and Acting Superintendent of the Connecticut
Hospital for the Insane from 1872 to 1879. From 1879 to 1882,
he was Superintendent and Physician of the State Hospital for the
Insane at Danvers, Mass. In 1883, he came to New York City and
engaged in the general practice of medicine. For thirty years he
was, during the summer season, the resident house physician at the
United States Hotel in Saratoga Springs, N. Y.
Dr. May married, February 24, 1878, in St. John, New Bruns-

19 19. He was the fourth son of Daniel Bayless and Polly (Hamil-
ton) Newkirk, of Rush County, Indiana.
In early life, he moved with his parents to Rush County, Indiana,
where his father became one of the largest land owners in the
county. After his graduation from law school at Ann Arbor,
Michigan, he was admitted to practice at the Rushville, Indiana, bar,
in October, 1876, and soon formed a law partnership with Claude
Cambern under the name of Cambern & Newkirk, which continued
during most of his residence in Rushville.
Being also a practical surveyor, he was frequently employed by
the county and city to do such work, and after the fire of May 11,
1892, he surveyed and plotted what is now known as the "New
Addition" to Rushville.
During this time he compiled the first set of real estate abstract
books in Rush County, and the only ones yet made. Being a tire-
less worker, and of more than usual ability, he found time to achieve
this important work and at the same time attend to his law practice,
which was large and often important, and though often weary, worn
and exhausted with a multiplicity of affairs, he was always smiling,
generous, kind-hearted "Tom Newkirk," loved by old and young,
free from brag and bluster, petty pique or jealousy or envious dis-
position.
In politics, he followed in the footsteps of his father, being ever
faithful to the Democratic party and, while never an office seeker,
he was much sought in counsel by his party leaders, but never held
a public office, with the exception of the time when he was Principal
Clerk of the House of Representatives of the fifty-sixth and fifty-
seventh sessions of the General Assembly of Indiana.
Leaving Rushville, Ind., in the spring of 1893, he went to Rich-
mond, Ind., where he maintained a law and abstract office until he
took employment with the Cincinnati, Richmond & Muncie Rail-
road, now the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad's Chicago to Cincinnati
line, as attorney, for which company he bought considerable right
of way and settled many claims for damages to lands adjoining the
right of way. He entered the employ of the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific Railway Company on April i, 1905, as assistant real estate
and tax agent, with office at Little Rock, Ark. Upon the resigna-
tion of Mr. James T. Maher, he was appointed real estate and tax
agent, on November i, 1907, which position he filled up to the time
of his death. It is well known among his many friends and asso-
ciates how great an interest he always took in the welfare of the
Rock Island and with what loyalty and ability he always worked for
its best interests.
In recent years he gathered and compiled genealogical data of
considerable extent relating to the Newkirk family, and in this
work also he took much interest, believing it to be his duty to com-
memorate and preserve the family record.
Mr. Newkirk married first, on November 8, 1877, to Kate Fayne,
who was born on October 18. 1857, and who died at Rushville, Ind.,

the April, 1919, issue of this publication, since which time the fol-
lowing sketches of their lives have been obtained :
Andrew Arthur Benton, was born in Minneapolis, Minn.,
December 17, 1873; he was the son of Arthur Hotchkiss Benton, of
Guilford, Conn., by his wife Isabel! Anderson Craik, of Yamachichi,
Quebec, Canada ; he died suddenly at his residence, the Royalton,
No. 44 West 44th Street, New York City, November 19, 1918.
Mr. Benton graduated from the University of Minnesota in
1895, and at once entered upon a banking career. In 1905, he came
to New York and soon became a partner in the firm of Marwick,
Mitchell, Peat and Company, Accountants and Auditors, with which
firm he was connected at the time of his death.
His most vital interest, outside of his business, consisted in
creating a wide acquaintance among boys and young men of all
walks of life, and in taking a personal interest in their welfare and
exerting the wholesome influence of a magnetic personality for the
building up of a high standard of manhood amongst his proteges.
He was a member of many civic and social clubs and scientific
and philanthropic associations and also of the leading patriotic so-
cieties. His interest in history led to his making a remarkable
collection of some fourteen thousand old maps of the world, of
North America and of the United States.
During the war he was a devoted Red Cross worker at Camp
Merritt, N. J., and a member, representing Minnesota, of the
National War Work Council of the Young Men's Christian Asso-
ciation of the United States.
Upon coming to New York, he became a member of the Brick
Presbjierian Church and was always a zealous and able worker
there.

Timothy Matlack Cheesman, M.D., bacteriologist and sur-
geon, was born in New York City, January 29, 1853. He was a
son of Timothy Matlack Cheesman, M.D., by his wife Maria Louisa
Smith ; he died at his home, "The Briars," at Garrisons-on-Hudson,
N. Y., February 25, 1919, in his 67th year.
Dr. Cheesman graduated from Columbia College, A.B., 1874;
A.M., 1877, and from Columbia University, College of Physicians
and Surgeons, M.D., 1878. He was surgeon of the Throat Depart-
ment of the New York Dispensary, and specialized in eye, ear and
throat diseases. In 1888, he joined the teaching staff of the Colum-
bia University, College of Physicians and Surgeons and was later
advanced to the Professorship of Bacteriology there. When he
retired as a member of the faculty of the University, he was made
a Trustee of the University.
He was a member of many scientific societies and was a past
president of the Alumni Association of the College of Physicians
and Surgeons. He was also a Thirty-third Degree Mason and Past
Master of Holland Lodge, No. 8.
He was also a member of the Society of the Cincinnati in the
State of Connecticut, of the Society of the Sons of the Revolution,
of the Society of the War of 1812, of the St. Nicholas Society, the
Delta Phi Fraternity, and of the Union, University and Century

widow and by three daughters, viz. : Sarah Arden Cheesman, wife
of Albert Harkness ; Clara Livingston Cheesman, and Kate Frances
Livingston Cheesman.
He was an Annual Member of the New York Genealogical and
Biographical Society, to which he was elected May 25, 1894.
Henry Cady, Librarian of the Schoharie County, N. Y., His-
torical Society, was born in Auriesville, Montgomery County, N. Y. ;
he died at Schoharie Village, N. Y., Fei)ruary 19, 1919. He removed
to Schoharie County with his family and lived in Breakabeen until
1886 when he settled in Schoharie Village which continued to be his
home until his death. He was of Revolutionary stock and was always
interested in the history of his country and gave much time to the
study of the genealogy of the families of the early settlers of
Schoharie County and was an ardent collector of Indian and
Revolutionary relics.
I920.] Necrology, \(^\<:). 129
On his mother's side, Mr. Cady was descended from the Vrooman
family. While still a young man, a number of valuable historical
documents came into his possession, from his maternal grandfather.
With these documents as a nucleus, Mr. Cady accumulated a large
collection of manuscripts, maps and Revolutionary relics pertaining
to the history of Schoharie County. For a period of over thirty-
five years, he devoted his spare time to compiling genealogies of
nearly all of the settlers of that county prior to the Revolutionary
War, much of which information he obtained from individuals
now deceased. He also made copies of all of the older gravestone
inscriptions in the county. Nearly every summer he journeyed on
foot through some part of the county, on the look out for the little
groups of family gravestones which are now so often left desolate
and dishonored.
The Schoharie County Historical Society, organized in 1888 and
chartered in 1889, largely by virtue of his efforts, he being one of
the charter members, elected him its first librarian, which office he
held until his death. The Museum of this Society is by courtesy of
the Board of Supervisors, located in the "Old Stone Fort" (so
called from its having been surrounded by a stockade during the
Revolution to provide a place of safe refuge for the inhabitants of
the valley during the Tory and Indian raids), originally a Dutch
Reformed Church. He took great interest in building up this
museum and in constantly adding to its collections articles of colonial
interest. The Museum is visited by thousands every year and will
prove a lasting memorial to his name.
The following is an extract from his obituary as published in a
local paper: —
"In 1870 he married Miss Kate Spaulding of this village, who
survives him, as does his daughter Mrs. Alva Loucks. The death
of his son, Harry Cady. a few years ago, as the result of an auto-
mobile accident, was a great shock to him, leaving its impress on his
life. For several years following his marriage he conducted a store
near the Old Stone Fort ; on closing out his business, he became
Postmaster, holding the ofiice for two terms to the satisfaction of
the public and in recognition of his active interest in the Republican
party to which he was ardently devoted.
He took great interest in the public welfare, aiding in move-
rnents which gave the village a water system, electric lights, the
new High School building and modern roads, the latter he had
charge of for many years as street commissioner.
It is not too much to say that Henry Cady, the useful citizen,
will be greatly missed in Schoharie."
Mr. Cady was a Corresponding Member of the New York
Genealogical and Biographical Society, representing Schoharie
County, to which office he was elected July 21, 1914.

ARCHIBALD ROBERTSON,
The Founder of the First School of Art In America.
By Mrs. J. Warren Goddard (Geraldine Winslow Goddard).
Address presented by Mrs. J. Warren Goddard (Geraldine Winslow
Goddard) before the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society on
Friday evening, February 2oth, ig20.
This paper was compiled from the data and archives still in Mrs. Goddard's
family, and gives the history of the first School of Art in America founded by
her graniifather Archibald Robertson, and called the Columbian Museum and
School of Art.
The address was illustrated by miniatures, including the original portrait
of Washington by Archibald Robertson, thrown on the screen and described
by Mrs. Goddard.
The ancestral lineage of Archibald Robertson extends as far
back as the thirteenth century, and has a distinct genealogical value
in the present instance because of the transmission by inheritance of
great artistic talent, as well as versatile and brilliant literary and
intellectual ability as evinced in the lives of the Robertson brothers
themselves.
We find an illustration of the above in the history of one Alex-
ander Robertson (of the same lineage). Viscount Strahan, born in
1640, a Jacobite nobleman who escaped to France after the Battle of
Killiecrankie. Later, upon the accession of Queen Anne, he re-
turned, was pardoned, and passed his later years in literary pursuits,
achieving some more or less notable poems which were criticised
at length by Lord Macaulay. These are now considered among the
literary arcana of that period.
The Robertson family moved to Aberdeen with their sons An-
drew, Alexander, Archibald, and a younger son whose name also
began with an A, and who died just as his talent had begun to
distinguish itself. He lived long enough, however, to be classified
as one of the four remarkable Robertson brothers. They were
liberally educated at King's College, where they all equally developed
a strong predilection for the fine arts.
In 1782 Archibald went to Edinburgh, where he passed some
years studying painting. His associates were Henry Raeburn,
Walter Weir and George Watson. These formed a class of their
own for mutual improvement, as there was no Academy of Arts in
Aberdeen. In 1786 Archibald went to London to study at the Royal
Academy. Here he was introduced to Sir Joshua Reynolds, and be-
came his pupil and one of his warmest friends. This association led
to Archibald Robertson painting his greatest miniature, which is be-
lieved to be the only miniature of Sir Jo.shua in existence, and depicts
the master in his scarlet cloak as Doctor of Laws, a very miracle of
art. Over a century has passed since this was painted, but today
the colors are as fresh as any modern production.

Ig20.] Archibald Robertson. I3I
Archibald Robertson also profited much from lessons received
from Benjamin West, and so closely applied himself to the cultiva-
tion of his talent that before he had attained his thirtieth birthday
he was known at the Court of St. James as "The Reynolds of
Scotland." He also painted greater canvases, one of which represen-
ted "The Combat of Michael and Satan," and a series of paintings
from Ossian which received royal commendation about this time.
After his London success, Archibald Robertson was invited by
the venerable Dr. Gordon of King's College, Old Aberdeen, at the
request of Dr. Kemp of Columbia College, New York, and the par-
ticular solicitation of Chancellor Livingston and Dr. Samuel Bard,
to cross the Atlantic to New York. After some hesitation, owing
to the wild impressions received of the uncivilized conditions of the
new country to which he would journey, he finally consented and
arrived in New York on October 2nd, 1791. His previous impres-
sions were radically changed under a personal acquaintance with the
new republic on this side. Upon hearing of his intention to go to
the United States, the Earl of Buchan requested an interview with
the young artist in Edinburgh, the object of the Earl being to confide
to him two important commissions, — one to obtain the portrait of
General Washington, the other to present to the President of the
United States the celebrated Wallace Box as a token of the owner's
high esteem. This box, within which was enclosed the letter of
introduction, was about four inches long, three broad, two deep, and
one-eighth of an inch thick. It was made of six pieces of the heart
of the oak tree which sheltered Sir William Wallace after the battle
of Falkirk. The outside was finely varnished, an elegant silver bind-
ing united the whole, and the lid, opening upon hinges one-third the
way down the side, had a silver plate inside inscribed :
"Presented by the Goldsmiths of Edinburgh to David
Stuart Erskine, Earl of Buchan, with the freedom of
of their Corporation by their Deacon, 1791."
Robertson left an account of his first interview and subsequent
week in the following words :
"The bearer of Lord Buchan's compliments, although
familiarly accustomed to intimate intercourse with
those of the highest rank and station in his native
country, never felt as he did on his first introduction
to the American hero. The excitation in the mind of
the stranger was evidently obvious to Washington,
for, from his ordinary cold and distant address, he
declined into the most easy and familiar intercourse in
conversation, with a view to disembarrass his visitor
from the agitation excited by the presence of a man
whose exalted character had impressed him with high-
est sentiments of respect and veneration for such lofty
virtue. Washington easily penetrated into the heart
and feelings of Lord Buchan's friend and left no means
132 Archibald Robertson. [April
untried to make him feel perfectly at ease in his com-
pany during the period he intended to spend with him
in Philadelphia. The General not finding his efforts
altogether successful, introduced him to Mrs. Washing-
ton, whose easy, polished and familiar gaiety and care-
less cheerfulness almost accomplished a cure, by the
aid of her grandchildren, G. W. P. Custis and Miss
Eleanor Custis, afterwards Mrs. Lewis and wife to
the nephew of Washington. Another effort of the
first President to compose his guest was a family din-
ner party, at which the General, contrary to his usual
habit, engrossed most of the conversation at the table,
and so delighted the company with humorous anecdotes
that he repeatedly set the table in a roar. The only
other members of the family at the dinner party just
described were the two secretaries of the General,
Major Jackson and Colonel Lear, and Colonel John
Trumbull, who afterward became a staunch friend and
admirer of the Scotchman. The dinner, at three
o'clock, was plain but suitable for a family in genteel
circumstances. There was nothing especially remark-
able at the table but that the General and Mrs. Wash-
ington sat side by side, the gentlemen on his right hand,
the ladies on his left. It being on Saturday, the first
course was mostly of eastern cod and fresh fish. A
few glasses of wine were drank during dinner — the
whole closed with a few glasses of sparkling cham-
pagne in about three-quarters of an hour, when the
General and Colonel Lear retired, leaving the ladies in
high glee about Lord Buchan and the Wallace Box."
It was about 1794 that Robertson became installed in the Execu-
tive Mansion, and if my memory serves me correctly, he spent some
three weeks at Mount Vernon with Washington. During this time
he painted from life the two celebrated miniatures of General Wash-
ington and Lady Washington. These are now in the possession of
the grandsons of Robertson's eldest son, Jacob, and in the keeping
of the Metropolitan Museum. He also painted the Washington por-
trait in oils for Lord Buchan of a size corresponding to those in
the notable collection of portraits in the posssession of the Earl of
Buchan at Dryburgh Abbey, near Melrose.* Besides these, he painted
* Washington Portrait Lost.

London, March 14, igig. The Earl of Buchan, in a letter printed in a Scot-
tish newspaper, seeks information of the whereabouts of the portrait of George
Washington which was painted by Archibald Robertson for the eleventh Earl
of Buchan.
The portrait was brought to England in 1797 by Washington's private sec-
retary, Colonel Tobias Lear. For a time it was at Deyburgh Abbey, Roxburgh-
shire, but apparently it has disappeared.

a smaller one of General Washington, 9 x 12 inches, on a marble
slab. This likeness is one of the finest originals extant. Its soft-
ness and delicacy of tone are unrivaled. The subject is three-quarter
view, clad in a peachblow coat with broad white ruffle down the
front. In 1824, Trumbull, then President of the Columbian Mu-
seum, made the following criticism :
"If we would behold the countenance of Washington in
his best days, we must seek it in Houdon's bust; if we
desire to know his aspect when he began to wane,
Robertson's portrait is the best ; only he and Stuart
present him looking at the spectator."
This opinion is of peculiar value as being the decision of one who
was brought into constant and intimate relations with Washington.
I must digress for a moment to recount the tragedy associated
with this marble portrait. If I sound a personal note, it is because
it is inevitable. This portrait was in the possession of my aunt,
Mrs. Craft, and as I was the youngest daughter of the youngest
daughter, my aunt feared I would fare poorly in the distribution of
my grandfather's artistic work, and therefore promised to leave me
this portrait in her will. I can remember as a child standing opposite
it in her parlor, away from the children who were my playmates,
and thinking almost as one does of a saint that this was to be my
heritage. Years passed, the portrait still hung there, and I grew to
womanhood. Two stepdaughters of my aunt lived with her and
formed her family. During a very severe illness of my aunt, then a
very old lady and deaf, one of these stepdaughters died and the other
fell into melancholia from grief. A victim of melancholia is known
at times to break suddenly into a fit of violence. In such a fit this
girl secreted a mallet, and rising in the night, undertook to destroy
every work of art she could reach. Fortunately, there were but few
associated with my grandfather that she could injure, but she struck
this marble portrait with the mallet and cracked it in seventeen
places. Happily, not one blemish crossed the features, but in the
great excitement which followed this was not observed at the time.
My aunt, whose death was hastened by this circumstance, said to
my nephew, Mr. Tarrant Putnam, then her lawyer and drawing her
will, "Take the Washington portrait out of the house ; Geraldine
will never care for it now.'' He naturally did as he was bid and
the portrait became his, not mine. He sought every means to have
it repaired, and finally took it to Ellis, the expert at Tiffany's. Ellis
put it together on plate glass and stippled it with so much artistic
ability that, except in certain lights, the cracks are not visible, and,
of course, the face is uninjured. Now follows a most surprising coin-
cidence. Upon taking the portrait from its old-fashioned frame, two
letters fell from the back of it, one from Earl Buchan to Robertson
expressing' his joy and appreciation of the canvas portrait just re-
ceived ; the other an autograph letter from Washington to my grand-
father enclosing as a mark of appreciation and friendship a lock
134 Archibald Robertson. [April
of his and Lady Washington's hair. When these letters were placed
there is totally unknown, but are now among the family treasures.
Besides these Washington portraits, Robertson painted that of Ad-
miral Truxton, and just before his marriage, a very lovely one of
his bride-to-be, Eliza Abramse. The latter is also in the posses-
sion of Mr. Putnam.
One readily concludes from the foregoing that the career of
Robertson was established and his success insured, not only by the
reception tendered him by Washington himself upon arriving in this
country and the continued association with the President, but because
of his phenomenal success already achieved in London, which I have
referred to before as being largely responsible for the warm invita-
tions from eminent men to come to this country at a time when the
arts with us were almost a negligible quantity. I say "almost" be-
cause my own memory reaches back far enough to have been
brought up from earliest childhood constantly associated with life-
size plaster casts of the great statues of the Loggia in Florence which
always stood in the enclosed piazza of my grandmother's house, the
first of their kind ever brought from abroad, I was told. How they
came there at the date referred to, presumably about 1800, I have no
idea, but their presence certainly proved that art in some form was
getting to be a living force here.
There was but one thing needed, therefore, to solidify and per-
petuate the great future which lay before Robertson. This emerged
from his marriage to Eliza Abramse, the talented daughter of one
of the last of the old Dutch patroons, his sole heiress, and the for-
tune thus inherited was the pivot upon which Robertson's future
turned, for it enabled him to carry out his desire to remain in this
country. The young couple established themselves at 69 Liberty
Street, New York, which site was destined also to become the home
of the first school of art in this country, — The Columbian Museum
and School of Art.
With Archibald Robertson at this time was associated his brother
Alexander, who had joined him in 1792, and the versatile genius of
the notable Robertson brothers is accented by the fact that, although
associated with my grandfather in the Columbian School of Art, from
the first Alexander's greater interest was devoted to public afifairs,
particularly those of a municipal character, and he, together with
other prominent men of this city with interests similar to his own,
ultimately became one of the original incorporators of the gigantic
public school system of New York. He was also among those who
planned and carried out the great pageant which celebrated the
opening of the Erie Canal, of which I shall speak later.
It may be well here to give a sketch of the third brother, Andrew
Robertson, who had already established for himself a reputation
in the first rank of miniaturists in England. A pupil of Benjamin
West and graduate of the College of Aberdeen, he made rapid strides
in his art, and through the patronage of the Earl of Sussex, he be-
ig2o.] Archibald Robertson. 135
came Court Painter to George III, a miniature of whom by Andrew
is in the possession of my nephew, Mr. CHfford Putnam. While
acting in this capacity, there was a constant interchange of letters
between the brothers, and copies of these fell into the hands and care
of Andrew's daughter Emily, who lived unmarried to a very great
age and resided at Hampton Court. With a strong attachment for
her relatives in this country and an intense devotion to the memory
of her father, who was her idol, she collected and sent copies of
these letters to each member of the family, with the injunction that
they must not be allowed to go out of their possession during her
lifetime. These extraordinary letters contained the entire scheme of
miniature painting in all its branches, mixture of colors, etc., and
have since been bound in a single volume. Benjamin West also sat
to Andrew Robertson for his portrait, and there is now in Kensing-
ton Museum a collection of miniaiures by him. Andrew was also a
creditable performer on the violin, which served as a bond of sym-
pathy between himself and Niel Gow, an eccentric character of that
period and regarded as a pet of society in London and at Bath, at
both of which places no rout of any meaning or prominence could
be held without his services; Niel Gow was also a personal friend
of the Prince of Wales. A very fine miniature of Niel Gow by
Andrew is also in the possession of my nephew. A valualbe
treatise on miniature paintings was composed by Andrew for his
brothers, published in America, and became an authority on
the art.
We now return to continue the account of the foundation of the
Columbian Museum and School of Art, which flourished for upwards
of thirty years.
At the beginning of the Nineteenth Century there was little to
forward the progress of painting in the United States. Little or no
attempt had iDeen made to encourage emulation among artists. The
subject, however, had not been overlooked, and among the foremost
men of the day giving it earnest deliberation was Archibald Robert-
son himself. His was the initial experiment upon American soil of
a clear and definite intention to establish a school which should
develop along the lines of those with which he had been associated
in England. There was taught not only painting, but architecture,
which he had learned from his father, an architect of great promi-
nence in Scotland. Also instruction was given in shipbuilding, mak-
ing a singular combination of subjects. The school began as an
experiment, and like all such, had advocates for several methods of
procedure. The result of these differences of opinion was the con-
tinuation of the School of Art as planned by Robertson, and this
eventually took form in the incorporation of our National Academy
of Design in 1826.
In 1802 Archibald Robertson was called upon to advise with re-
gard to the contemplated Art Union. But it was not until six years
later that the American Academy of Arts was incorporated.
136 Archibald Robertson. [April
The history of the vicissitudes of this parent institution spreads
over a quarter of a century. In 1818 its affairs were in a turbulent
state. John Trumbull was then president ; John R. Murray held the
vice-presidency. Its directors consisted of the following well-known
names : Cadwallader D. Colden, William Cutting, John C. Bogert,
David Hosack, Archibald Bruce, Archibald Robertson, William
Dunlap, John iVIcComb, Samuel L. Waldo, and James Renwick.
Alexander Robertson was secretary, and John Pintard, treasurer.
A contest arose as to the advisability of combining instruction
with the exhibition of pictures. Archibald Robertson strenuously
maintained the necessity for such a course. The opposition, led by
Trumbull, as obstinately combated it. The latter party triumphed,
but the victory proved to be dearly won. When dissension had so
divided the body that its fall was merely a question of time, the
necessity for a new organization governed by new laws was recog-
nized. That "the president opposed the opening of schools" was
quoted as the principal cause of the failure of this institution which
was finally to end a melancholy existence under the hammer of the
auctioneer. Our National Academy of Design, incorporated in 1826,
was the direct result of the discontent created by the mistakes of its
predecessor. This discontent finally resulted in forming a nucleus
around Robertson which placed him in the position of leader of the
new party. These adherents vigorously endorsed his theories re-
garding the exhibition of paintings and methods of teaching, and
from this parent organization emanated the modern Academy of
Design, which still follows the original methods and from the first
has owed its success to the tenacity of purpose and largeness of view
which inspired its founder.
The last public enterprise in which Archibald Robertson par-
ticipated was the occasion of the formal opening of the Erie Canal
in 1825. Probably no event in the history of the State ever excited
greater enthusiasm than this triumph of human labor. The long
contemplated union of the waters of the lakes with the Atlantic Ocean
had, after years of toil, been brought to a successful consummation.
Extensive preparations were made for the grand fete to celebrate
the arrival of the first canal boat which was to start from Buffalo
and come straight through to New York. The City of New York
was aroused to special effort, and the superintendence of the whole
was in the hands of the most prominent men of the time. Charles
Rhind, cousin of Archibald Robertson, occupied the responsible
position of "Admiral of the Day." The entire charge of such works
of art as the event required was left to the direction of Robertson.
It was he who designed the badge worn by the guests on the ceremo-
nial days. This device was afterward adopted for the commemora-
tive medals presented by the city to those gentlemen distinguished for
public service. The medals were enclosed in boxes made of curious
woods brought from the lakes. Accompanying this gift was a copy
of the "Memoir of the Grand Canal Celebration" compiled by Cad-
wallader Colden. The illustrations for this work were prepared
1920.1 Archibald Robertson. 137
under Robertson's care. They are curious as being the first impres-
sions made from the first Hthographic press ever put into effectual
operation on this side of the Atlantic. Robertson considered the
discovery of the new art of lithographic printing — interest in which
had already awakened in Europe by the Bavarian inventor, Alois
Semfelder — as a most invaluable gift to mankind in multiplying with
facility fac-similes of the works of the first rate artists. He was es-
pecially desirous of having the process obtain a permanent foothold
in America. It was not until Anthony Imbert crossed the ocean that
any practical success was attained. M. Imbert was a French naval
officer who had undergone a long imprisonment in England. During
hiscaptivity he employed his enforced leisure inthe cultivation of his
talent for the fine arts, the result being the opening of a lithographic
office in New York. Through the influence of Robertson, Imbert was
permitted to essay the illustrations for the memorial. Robertson's
personal contributions to this work were "A View of the Fleet
Preparing to Form in Line," made on the spot on its return from
the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and two maps, one showing the course
of the canal, the other its connection with the water courses of the
Northern Continent. For these and for the able supervision of the
Department of Fine Arts the thanks of the City Corporation were
formally tendered him with a further testimony of their approbation
a silver medal, a maple box. and a copy of Mr. Colden's memorial.
After these years of diversified activities, the final decade of the
great artist's life afforded leisure for the blending of his talents and
tastes in literature and art, the harvesting of a lifetime's patient
sowing. With the knowledge of six or seven languages, including
ancient and modern, he was able to cull keen enjoyment from the
masterpieces of the world's literature. At the same time he furthered
his own work by drawing up directions for the continuance of the
art school he had founded, while around him were gathered his de-
voted pupils and associates, among whom he was now, as ever, their
great teacher.
There was no breaking gradually or suddenly of his splendid
faculties, but in the year 1834, at the age of 71, the somber Angel of
Death approached gently and unheralded, allowing him only a few
days in which to give up his many interests and compose himself to
accept the call extended to him.
The keen eye of genius was closed, the versatile intellect silenced,
and the powers for initiative and construction became the heritage of
generations to follow, who should carry on the work thus established
and bring art to its perfection in America.

Conn., and was there buried in Old Burying Ground, grave-
stone; m. Oct. 7, 1724, by Eliphalet Adams, at New London, to
Daniel Deshon (name said to originally have been Des
Champs), b. , 1697, at ?; he is said to have been of
French Huguenot extraction, and came to this country with his
parents ; he was in Norwich, Conn., for a while and removed
and settled in New London, where he joined the church Nov.
21, 1725; he was a goldsmith by trade, a tavern keeper and a
selectman in New London; d. Nov. 6, 1781, in the 84th year of
his age and was there buried in Old Burying Ground, grave-
stone. His parentage is unknown, although on tixe authority
of Miss Emma C. Brewster Jones' Notes in the N. Y. Gen. and
Biog. Society's Library, his father's name is said to have been
Daniel Des Champs, a French Huguenot refugee from the old
country.
Children: 8 (Deshon), 7 sons and i daughter, all b. in New
London, Conn., viz. :

1745, aged 5 months and was buried in the Old
Burying Ground, New London, gravestone.
In the Old Burying Ground, New London, there are two stones
erected over the graves of Daniel Deshon and his wife Ruth^ Chris-
I920.] Christophers Family. 140
tophers, which stones are respectively inscribed as follows: "In
memory of Mr. Daniel Deshon, who died November — , A.D.,
1781, in the 84th year of his age"- — and — "In memory of Mrs. Ruth
Deshon, wife of Mr. Daniel Deshon and daughter of Christopher
Christophers, Esq., who died January 6th, A.D., 1775, in the 71st
year of her age." This latter inscription a photograph of which
may be seen in Some Incidents in the Early History of New London,
by the late Hon. Augustus Brandgee, of that town, is for some un-
accountable reason absolutely incorrect in so far as the statement as
to the parentage of Ruth Christophers is concerned. She was not
the daughter of Hon. Christopher^ Christophers beyond any ques-
tion of doubt; and Hon. Christopher^ Christophers in so far as we
are informed, had no daughter Ruth Christophers, and Christopher'
Christophers (Richard,^ Christopher^) had no daughter Ruth. She
was the daughter as above recorded of Richard^ and Grace (Turner)
Christophers.
I cannot account for this error of inscription, unless it is due to
the fact that the stone was erected some time after her death and
was erroneously inscribed. It was probably intended to be inscribed
granddaughter of Christopher^ Christophers, Esq., which would be
in accordance with the facts of the case, as she was a granddaughter
of Christopher^ Christophers of New London.
Daniel Deshon, the husband of Ruth^ Christophers, was a youth
in the family of Capt. Rene Grignon, at the time of the decease of
the latter at Norwich, Conn., in 1715, and he is mentioned in Capt.
Grignon's will. Capt. Grignon was one of the company of protestant
exiles, or Huguenots, that settled in the town of Oxford, Mass.,
about the year 1686. That settlement having been broken up by the
Indians in 1696; the exiles were dispersed into various parts of New
England. Capt. Grignon came to Norwich, first as a master of a
trading vessel, but he afterwards settled in the town as a goldsmith
and was granted the privileges of a regular inhabitant in 1710. His
will was dated March 20 and proved April 12, 171 5 ; and a clause of
said will reads as follows: "I give to Daniel Deshon my goldsmiths
tools and desire that he may learn the trade of some suitable person
in Boston and have ten pounds when he comes of age." Daniel
Deshon was accordingly placed with John Gray, a goldsmith in Bos-
ton (first husband of Mary^ Christophers No. 17 of this genealogy)
with whom he removed to New London, where John Gray d. Jan.
14, 1720.

gravestone states that he was a son of John and
Mary Braddick ; but as his gravestone states that he
was 14 years old at death, he must have been born
(if the stone is properly recorded) in 1740, and
hence was a son of John and Lucretia (Christophers)
Braddick, in as much as Lucretia^ (Christophers)
Braddick. wife of John Henry^ Braddick did not die
until March 21, 1747-8, and he did not marry Mary*
(Christophers) ? (No. 54) until after that
date. Hempstead's Diary, p. 626, states under date
of May 28. 1754: "In ye forenoon Henry Braddick a
lad about 12 or 13 years old died with the pleurisie."
In Long Island Epitaphs, by Edward D. Harris (p. 39), an
abstract of the will of John^ Braddick may be seen. Will dated Sept.
6, 1733; proved Sept. 6, 1734, and in it he mentions his wife Mary,
his son John, partner Thomas Sandi forth, and his five youngest chil-
dren, Alice (who married Abraham* Corey, No. 49 of descendants
of Jeffery^ Christophers), Elizabeth, David, Peter and Abigail.
Capt. John Henry- Braddick, in 1732, was a member of the
Protestant Episcopal Church of New London, then first incorporated,
which accounts for the fact that only one of his children's (No. 87)
baptism is found recorded in the History of the First Church (Con-
gregational) in New London, which baptism took place May 7, 1732.

8. date of death of his first wife), at , to Mary* (Christophers)

1755 : "Nathaniel Coit's wife died last night [i. e. Oct. 9, 1755] and
buried in ye eve. She was lately delivered of a child and had the
fever and canker. She was his 2nd wife and he her 3rd husband.
She was a daughter of Richard Christophers, deceased, the 2nd"
[the 2nd here means Richard Christophers, the 2nd]. (Therefore if
Hempstead's statement is correct, Mary* Christophers, 2nd wife of
Capt. John Henry^ Braddick was a widow at the time of her 2nd
marriage to him), b. Dec. 17, 1716; bap. Dec. 30, 1716, at New Lon-

80. Seymour, Forman, Ledyard — Correction.
On page 393 of the October, 1919, Record, in the last para-
graph but one of addition No. 78, Henry Seymour was not the
brother, but the father of Governor Horatio Seymour of New
York. I will add that the baptisms of Judge Jonathan Forman
and Margaret Wyckoff were dated after their marriage, suggest-
ing a Quaker parentage.
The wife of their grandson. Col. Jonathan Forman, of Middle-
town Point, New Jersey, Mary Ledyard, of Connecticut, was a
niece of Colonel William Ledyard who fell, with some seventeen
of his kin, at the defence of Fort Griswold, on Groton Heights,
Sept., 1781. She, with her cousin Miss Fanny Ledyard went to
the aid of the American wounded at Groton early the next morn-
ing, and said she stepped over her shoe tops in blood in the barn
where they lay. She was a woman of education, great force, in-
telligence and high character. With her husband, she is buried in
the village cemetery at Cazenovia, New York.

1. Andrew' Ward, the immigrant ancestor, b , 1597, abdut, probably (according to (fa>v^ (j^,f«^a/<?gy,
pp. 7-8 and 28; he was made a freeman at Watertown, .Vlass., May 14, 1634; hence he must have
been at least 21 years old on that date, which places the year of his birth at least as early as 1613;
in as much as he was appointed March 3, 1635-6, one of six to govern the Colony of Connecticut
it is fair to presume that his selection for this important duty was due to his importance as a •
citizen and also to the fact that he was of sufficiently mature age to render him a suitable
governing officer; this he would have been had he been born about 1597 as suggested in the >
Ward Genealogy), at ? (Homersfield, Suffolk Co., Eng., according to some authorities
which hypothesis has elements of possibility, but is by no means as yet a proven fact); d ,

(will signed, "being sick in body,'' Dec. 27, 1665), at Fairfield, Conn., probably.
Ke^i. Andrewi Ward was probably the grandson ol Richard Ward of Homer.sfi.!ld, Suffolk Co.. Eng., who died "m extreme old : |
age^^ in 1598. and whose will was prob.ited in the Bishop's Court in iS9?. This Richard Ward had five sons amongst 1
whom were Henry (the oldest son), said to have been b, about 1559 and d. in 1645, who succeeded his father and in-
herited land; Richard who inherited land; ,\ndrew, who inherited £333 (not spoken of as a minor in his lather's will 1
and hence was of age in 1S9S) and who is estimated to have been b. in 1570; Ralph, whose wife is said to have been b.
in 1S72, and another son. It is supposed that the land having been bequeathed to the sons Henr^ and Richard, that I
tlie £333 was left to ."Vncirew to start him in business and that he probably removed from his home environment. It is '
a signihcant fact that amongst the burials in St. Michael's, Cornhill, London, that we have recorded those of .Andrew
Warde. gent., buried Jan. 23. 1615; and also that of Ralph Ward. These two names Andrew and Ralph, were the ■
names oftwo of the sons of Richard' Ward of Homersfield, and it is a fair conjecture that, from the recurrence of these ■

buried there Jan. 23. \b\^. and Ralph Ward, were the sons of Richard Ward of Homersfield, and it is also conjecttired 1
that this Andrew Ward of St. Michael's was the father of Andrew' Ward of Fairfield, Conn. It being the belief that : I
Andrew Ward (son of Richard Ward of Homersfield) established himself in London with the £333 left him by his :
father and died there in 1615. leaving a son Andrew' Ward who sometime after his father's death came to New England
and settled in Watertown, Mass.. where he was made a freeman on May 14, 1634. On March 3, 1636, Andrew' Ward
and seven others were appointed by the Colony of Massachusetts Bay to govern the Colony of Connecticut and during -
that year this commission held 6 courts in the Colony under their control. Andrew' Ward settled in Welhersfiela,
Conn., and he was one of the first legislative body that met in New Towne (or Hartford) on April 26. 1636. In 1636 he il
was appointed with Capt. John Mason and Mr. ."Vllen to treat with the Indians at .'Vgawam (or Springfield). On June 4, I
1639, his name is found among the free planters at the gathering of the Church at New Haven. At the General Court
Marcti 4, 1640, Andrew Ward and Robert Coe of Wethersfield were appointed to treat with that Court relative to the
plantation of Stamford (or Toquams) which had about that time been purchased by the town of Wethersfield. On t
March 26. 1640 he was appointed Constable of Stamford. At the General Court, Oct. 27, 1641. he, with Francis Bell,: (
represented Stamford and New Haven at the Court, and they were admitted as freeman. At the General Court, April ;
5,1643, he wrote a letter in the name of the freeholders of Stamford introducing John Underbill and Richard Gilder- ,
sleeve as representatives of Stamford at that Court, and at the same Court requested that a Magistrate be appointed for
Stamford, At this same Court, Andrew Ward and Robert Coe were appointed to assist at the next General Court of -
Election at New Haven. In 1644 and 1646 he was elected as Deputy from Stamford. He is said to have removed to
Hempstead, Long Island, N. Y., for a time; but he must have soon returned to Connecticut for on Oct. 6, 1651, at a I
General Court at Hartford, he with John Banks of Fairfield, Conn., were appointed to settle the estate of Peter John- '
son of Fairfield. At this same Court he was appointed an .'Issistant " to join with the Magistrates for the execution ol
Justice in the towns of Connecticut by the seaside." And in the same year he bought land in Fairfield. He was one
of the most important and infiuential men in all of the localities with which he was identified. His will was dated
June 3 (or 8), 1659, and it was probated Oct. 20. 1659. in Fairfield. He d. between those dates leaving a widow and c
children. In this will drawn by his own hand he being " strong, merry and well both in mind and body " he meation!

1666; and in it she mentions her son William, dau. Mary Burr, sons Andrew and Samuel, dau. Abigail, dau. Anns

Burying Ground, where a gravestone marks his grave thus inscribed: — " Here Lieth the Body c
John Topping, Justice of the Peace, aged fifty, who departed this life on the 29 day of May in th,
year 1686."
Res. William" Ward came to Fairfield with his parents. On Oct. i8, 1656, he purchased of Henry Lyon a dwelling house an
four acres of land, a,nd also other lands of other individuals. It is supposed that this purchase of land was in prepa
ation for his marriage, which took place about this time it is thought. (Jn Feb. 14, 1669. the town of Fairfield grante
him 3 acres of land. He is recorded as having purchased the Perry home and home lot from the heirs of Dr. Thomi
Pell of Newton Square. He was a physician. In 1675-6 (on or about Jan. 13) he was a Sergeant in the Fairfield Cor
pany of troops serving against the Indians in the Narragansett (King Philip's) War. and was appointed by the Gener
Court of Connecticut a Surgeon with the rank of Ensign of the forces stationed at New London. He was killed,
action in the attack on the Indian fort in the Great Swamp fight. On March 4, 1675-6, an inventory of his estate w;
taken, amounting to £595, iish.,9d. At the close of the Narragansett War the Connecticut General Assembly presenti

we know that it occurred in 1731-2. She m. (i) April 19, 1678 (i. e. the marriage contract was
dated April Ig, 1678, and is recorded at Fairfield, Conn.; however, if she was b. as shown above
in 1664-5, then she was only 13 or 14 years old April ig, 1678. It is possible that this marriage
contract was signed at Fairfield, Conn., earlier than the marriage itself, on account of her mother's
second marriage to John Topping, and her removal to Southampton where possibly the marriage
itself took place later), to Ebenezer Hawley (son of Joseph Hawley of Stratford, Conn, (b ,

given or interpreted correctly on her tombstone, she was m. in 1678 when she was but ij or 14 years old, and she bore
her husband two children before she whs 17 years old. It is possible that the inscription on her gravestone bas not
been properly interpreted, or that an error was made in Perry's Fairfield Graveyard Inscriptions, p. 215. It seems
more probable that her date of birth was 1654 than 1664-5.

Res. Capt. Joseph Wakeman lived at Greens Farms (Westport), Conn., then a part of Fairfield; a picture of his home there
built in 1700 is to be seen in the Wakeman Genealogy, facing p, 167. He represented Fairfield in the Connecticut As-

Col. John Burr lived within the limits of the present city of Bridgeport, Coon, (then called Stratfield or Poquonnock);
he was closely identified with the interests of Fairfield and held many responsible trusts; being County Commissary,
Deputy to the General Assembly, Speaker of the House, Auditor, Judge of the County Court and Court of Probate.
He was engaged in the expedition to Nova Scotia as a Major and later as a Colonel. He owned a large farm surround-
ing his residence at Poquonnock and also a " long lot " and several other large grants from the town of Fairfield, be-
sides a large inheritance from his father. He was one of the founders of the First Congregational Church of Bridgeport.

Res. Jehue* Burr probably came over in the tieet with Winthrop in 1630; applied for freemanship Massachusetts Bay Coloay,
Oct. 19, 1630, and was admitted freeman May 18, 1631; he was a carpenter, and settled in Roxbury, Mass., where he aad.
his wile were members of tlie church ia 1635 and where he was overseer of roads and bridges between Roxbury aad'i
Boston. In 1636 he removed to Agawam (now Springfield), Conn., of wliich place he and his associates received a deedil
from the Indians dated June 15, 1636. On Feb. 9. 1637. he was appointed by the General Court of Connecticut as Tmx-
Collector for Agawam. In 1644 he removed to Fairheid, Conn., and represented that town at the General Court in j
1645 and 1646 and for several succeeding sessions prior to the union of the Hartford and New Haven Colonies. Bjt
some authorities he is supposed to have d. about 1650; but the Fairfield Records seem to identify him as the Jehue Burr,
who was Grand Juror in 1660, and who in 1664 was the Commissioner for Fairfield and likewise in 1666 was appointed a
Commissioner to recommend methods of taxation to maintain "poore scollers " at Cambridge College; and who in
ib68 was commissioned for Fairfield, and who on March 18, l67l,signedasCommissioner for Fairfield in an order to his son
John Burr. The Fairfield Records show that on Jan. 12, 1673, John Burr received 27 acres of land by will of his father.
Children, 4 (Burr) sons that are known of and perhaps other children, viz: — (i) Jehue,^ b 1625; d 1692; m. (1)

ably; d. Feb. 26, 1712 (see below). (4) Daniel,- b 1642, about; d ; m. Abigail Glover.
2. Nathaniel* Burr, b , 1640, about (he was made a freeman at Fairfield, Conn., in 1664, and, as h(
must have been at least 21 years old to be made a freeman, he must have been born as early a:
1643, ^"d probably a few years earlier), at Agawam (Springfield), Mass., probably, as his fathe.i
was then located there; d. Feb. 26, 1712, at Fairfield, Conn.; m. (i) (probably about l65g<
63, as his mother-in-law, Hester (Sherman) Ward (widow of Andrew' Ward) made her will Dec
27, 1665; and in that will she mentions her two grandchildren, Sarah and Nathaniel Burr, childrei
of her daughter Sarah (Ward) Burr; hence Sarah Ward must have m. Nathaniel Burr earh
enough to have borne him two children before Dec. 27, 1665. Andrew' Ward (father of Nathaniel
Burr's first wife) made his will June 8, 1659, which was proved Oct. 20, 1659, and in this will b
states: — " I give to my daughter Sarah forty pounds to be paid within one year after her marriage;-
hence she was not m. on June 8, 1659, and probably not until after Oct. 20, 1659), at (Fain
field, probably), to Sarah' Ward (dau. of Andrew' and Hester (Sherman) Ward of Fairfield]
b 1642, about, at (Stamford, Conn., probably, as her father was there located in thai
year); d (previous to about Oct. . ., 1698, as Nathaniel'* Burr m. a second time then), at Fail:
field. Conn., probably. Nathaniel- Burr m. (2) Oct. . . , 1698, about, to Hannah (Goodyear) Walsft !
man* (dau. of Deputy Governor Stephen Goodyear of New Haven, Conn., by his first wife (whost
maiden surname and baptismal name are not known) and widow of Rev. Samuel Wakeman c
Fairfield, whom she m. as her first husband, Aug. 28, 1656. Rev. Samuel Wakeman d. March i
1692), b , at ; d 1721 (administration on her estate granted Nov. 7, 1721), i
Fairfield, Conn. ■
* Both the Burr Genealogy, p. 134, and the Wakeman Genealogy, p. 161, agree in stating that Nathaniel'^ Burr m. as his secon -'
vife. the widow of the Rev. Samuel Wakeman. The Wakeman Genealogy states that she was Hannah (Goodyear) Wakeman, wide v
>f Rev. Samuel Wakeman, and ^hs Burr Genealogy states that she was Ann, widow of Rev. Samuel Wakeman, and dau. o(D, c
[ames Laborie. Schenck's History of Fairfield, vol. i, p. 361. states that Nathaniel'' Burr's second wife was Ann, dau. of Dr. Jarai; {t
Laborie. and the same volume, p. 417, states that Hannah, widow of Rev. Samuel Wakeman, left a large estate of £900. So it Been ni
hat according to the preponderence of evidence that Rev. Samuel Wakeman's widow was named Hannah, and there is no evident^ .(
jeyoud the statement in the Burr Genealogy and Schenck's. vol. i. p. 361, that her name was Ann; nor is there any evidence th
Kev. Samuel Wakeman ever had but one wife, viz: Hannah (Goodyear) Wakeman, who is reported as having survived her husban '■
ind who d. in 1721 (administration on her estate being granted Nov. 7, 1721). If all the above is correct (and at this writing I believe f
;o be correct) then Nathaniel" Burr m. as his second wife, Hannah (Goodyear) Wakeman. the only wife and the widow of Rev. Samu '
Wakeman. She survived Nathaniel^ Burr (who d. Feb. 26. 1712) and d. in 1721 (administration on her estate granted Nov. 7, 172.
eaving an estate of £900. Nathaniel- Burr's second wife was Hannah, not Ann; and I see before me no evidence that she was a da [
-){ Dr. James Laborie. The question as to who was the second wife of Nathaniel" Burr, seems to have been confused by the vario '
genealogists, but I think my presentment of the case is (in the absence of positive evidence to the contrary) correct. In so far as th 5
Dedigree is concerned, who Nathaniel" Burr's second wife was is not material as all of the auttiorities agree that all of the children .
Nathaniel^ Burr were by his first wife Sarah (Ward) Burr.

118. BROWN HOPPER LENOX MOTT
John' Brown, the immigrant ancestor (said to have been the son of Richard Brown of Barton Regis,
England), b certainly earlier than 1614 and probably earlier than 1604 (he received a deed
of land from the Indians, dated July 15, 1625, he then being of New Harbor, Maine. It is presumed
that, as he received this grant of land in 1625, he must have been at least 21 years old in that year,
which places the year of his birth at least as early as 1604. He was probably born some years earlier,
for in 1625 he was a married man and settled in Pemaquid, having married in Bristol, Eng., prior to
his emigration to this country, and it is fairto presume that he was at least 21 years old when married.
We have also the deposition of his son John' Brown made on Feb. 9, 1720, when John' Brown was
85 years old; hence John' Brown was born 85 years earlier than 1720, or in 1635, and assuming
John' Brown to have been at least 21 years old (he was probably some years older) when his son
John'' Brown was born, it would, by positive evidence, place the year of birth of John' Brown as
early as 1614), at Barton Regis, Gloucestershire, England; d , about 1670 (we know from
the testimony of his son John' Brown as quoted above, that he was alive in 1665), at Damariscotta,
Me.; m prior to 1623, probably (as he is supposed to have come to this country a married
man, as early as 1623), at Bristol, England, to Margaret Hayward (dau. of Francis and
( ) Hayward, of IJristol, Eng.), b at (Bristol, Eng., possibly); d 1676,
or later, at New Harbor, Me., probably.
Res. Barton Regis. Eng., Bristol, Eng., Pemaquid, New Harbor and Damariscotta and Woolwich, Me. He is supposed sub-
sequent to his marriage in Bristol, Eng., to have come over to this country arriving as early as 1623 in which year he is
thought to have been settled in Pemaquid, Me. On July 15. 1625. he then being of New Harbor, Me., he received from
the Indians by deed in consideration of "fifty skins" a large tract of land in and about Pemaquid, which deed was
acknowledged July 24, 1626. This deed is supposed to be the first recorded Indian deed to lands in this country and
granted land some 25 by 8 miles in extent, fhe exact date of John' Brown's death is uncertain, but we know from the
deposition of his son John- Brown that he was alive in 1665, and the historian of Bristol and Bremen, Me., states that it
was probably about 1670 and that the place of his death was " at his son John's " at Damariscotta. John' Brown's sole
claim to prominence seems to rest on the fact of his having received by deed from the Indians a tract of land of some
200 square miles. The historian further states that after his death John' Brown's widow returned to New Harbor, Me.,
after the Indian War of 1676, and built a house there. She probably d. therefore after 1676.

Maurice Champney to Elizabeth Taynour is supposed to be the second ra. of Morris Chamless, the second husband of
Margaiet^ (Brown) Gould; and this second m. of Morris Chamless places the date of death of Margaret^ (Brown)
Gould-Chamless as previous to Oct. 20, 1692. Morris Chamlet took the oath of Fidelity at Marblehead, Dec. 18, 1677;
he was living in 1717 when he brought forward a deed for land at Muscongus dated 1(172-3, which deed was not held by:
the Court as a valid deed and was declared void. The date of this void deed suggests that Alexander Gould had d. be-
fore 1672-3. and that Margaret^ (Brown) Gould m. Morris Chamless some time about 1672-3. The exact date of death of
Morris Chamless is not known.

Res. James Stilson resided at Muscongus Island, Me., for a while, later owing to Indian outbreak he removed to Marblehead^
Mass. and after 1686 he returned to live on Muscongus Island. He took the oath of Fidelity at Marblehead, Dec. 18,'
1677. He had land laid out to him in Marblehead. Feb. 11, 1682-3, and built a house and shop on this land and sold Ihei
same to Samuel Waldron, Feb. 26, 1685-6. Margaret, his wife, joined the First Church, Marblehead. April 18,1686, andi
on May 16, 1686, had three of her children baptized there (see below). During the hrst Indian outbreak he probablj 4
returned to Marblehead and remained there until after 16S6 when he returned to Muscongus where his wife had itt
herited the Island and a tract of land on the mainland, in all 8 square miles, " as the oldest daughter of Alexander anc
MargaretMBrown) Gould." She and her husband, James Stilson, "held peaceful possession" of this same land ii: .,
1689. However, just prior to 1720, Maurice Champney, her step-father, by a deed, which was declared null and void .
endeavored to gain possession of all or part of this inheritance, which attempt was unsuccessful. It was during th<
second Indian outbreak that James Stilson and his infant daughter were massacred by the Indians, probably on .\ugi
2, 1689. His wile Margaret and her remaining children were taken prisoners to Canada. In Oct., 1695. an expeditioi
was fitted out to ransom the prisoners in Canada and Margaret' (Gould) Stilson was brought back. On a list of thesij
prisoners still remaining in Canada are given the names of Margaret' (Gould) Stilson's children, Mary and Jaraei

Res. James' Stilson was taken captive by the Indians at Fort Pemaquid in 1689, and carried a captive to Canada where he r I
mained until subsequent to 1703-4. While there, about 1703, Hannah (Odiorne) Batson. widow uf John Batson, wi ■*
brought to Montreal a prisoner, and the tradition has it that James' Stilson, then also a captive there, "bought for h'
a hat full of silver dollars and married her there." From a certain testimony it would appear that John Batson, hi
I first husband, was killed at Cape Porpoise about 1702 and that his widow, Hannah (Odiorne) Batson, was take;,]
prisoner there or else had returned to her home at New Castle, N. H., whence she was taken captive. James' Stilsctj
later returned to New England and settled at New Castle, N. H.. where he was first noted on the records Jan. 25. 171 )
he was living in Portsmouth in 1720. In 1724 he bought land in New Castle and returned there to live. After the dea
of his wife he lived with his son-in-law, Capt. Abraham Trefethen, at New Castle, N. H., until his son James= Stilsi,,
moved to New Durham, N. H., when he went to live with him and there died.

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 btate 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 of 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 Genealogic.^l and IJiographical 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 «o/ 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 ist of the previous year; for the .April issue, before March ist; for the
July issue before June ist; and for the-October issue, before September ist.
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 vvorks should embody the price of the work
donated and the name and address of the person from whom it can be purchased.

WILLIAM SALOMON.
Contributed by Henry Snyder Kissam.
William Salomon was born in Mobile, Ala., October 9, 1852.
He was of one of the oldest and most highly respected Hebrew
families in this country. He died at his late residence. No. 1020
Fifth Avenue, New York City, on December 14, 1919, in his 68th
year.
His father's grandfather was Haym Salomon, a Philadelphia
banker and patriot of Revolutionary times. His mother, Rosalie
Alice Levy, was a grand-daughter of Captain Jacob De Leon, of
Charleston, S. C, who served in Washington's Army; she was also
a great-grand-daughter of Hayman Levy, who, it is said, at one time
had in his employment, Nicholas Low, of New York, and the orig-
inal John Jacob Astor of New York.
When he was three years old, Mr. Salomon's parents took up
their residence in Philadelphia, Pa. In early youth he was delicate
and was unable to attend the public schools in that city, but later,
when stronger, he was placed in a private school in New York City
and subsequently attended the Columbia Grammar School until he
was fifteen years of age. He specialized in the French and German
languages, and his knowledge of those tongues was of the greatest
value to him in his subsequent business life.
Mr. Salomon's first employment was with the banking house of
Speyer and Company, where he started in a subordinate capacity;
but soon demonstrated his ability for the larger affairs of finance. In
order to master the details of European financial and business meth-
ods he, at his own request, was transferred from the New York
house to the Frank fort-on-Main branch of Speyer and Company's
business. But, before he was located in Germany, the outbreak of
the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, obliged him to remain in the
London, England, branch of that house until the cessation of hos-
tilities. After the war, he was for a time in Germany ; and on his
return to New York City, he eventually became the senior resident
partner of Speyer and Company in that city, and also one of the
NOV 22 1520
1 74 William Salomon. [July
foremost bankers in the field of transportation finance. Early in
his career, he evinced an appitude for appraising the value of rail-
road securities and a keen insight into the financial and physical
condition of the railroads themselves, and for many years he was
prominently identified with the great financial movements in trans-
portation afl^airs. He retired from Speyer and Company in 1899, ^^^d
served as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, and was largely instrumental in bringing about the
successful reorganization of that road. In 1901, he resigned as
Chairman of the Baltimore and Ohio Board, and in 1902, he founded
the international banking house of William Salomon and Company,
of which house he was the leading and senior partner. This bank-
ing house has since grown and prospered, having now branches in
New York, Chicago, Paris and London, and has taken first rank
in the business of handling and financing railroad securities. His
house, in co-operation with Blair and Company and W. A. Read
and Company, financed the securities of the Western Pacific Rail-
road, and later, his house was at the head of a syndicate engaged
in financing and developing a railroad project in the Philippine
Islands.
In politics, Mr. Salomon was a Democrat, although voting the
Republican ticket since 1896; but his active participation in the
party campaigns has been slight since 1891, when as Chairman of
the Finance Committee of the New York Democracy, he played an
important part in the defeat of David B. Hill, in his struggle for
the nomination for the Presidency in 1892. The reason for Mr.
Salomon's opposition to Senator Hill's aspirations was founded
upon the uncertainty at that time as to the financial views of the
candidate. It is possible that, if Mr. Hill had come out flatly for
the Gold Standard, he might have received the endorsement of the
organization headed by Mr. Salomon and have been President in the
place of Mr. Cleveland.
Mr. Salomon was a strong writer on financial and other topics,
and his articles frequently appeared in the leading publications.
Aside from his wide European travel, he was peculiarly familiar
with his own land, having visited every State and Territory in the
Union. Always keenly interested in the work of Americanizing for-
eign-born residents of the United States, he gave generously for
many years of his means, time and labor to the Educational Alliance,
of which body he was a founder and for fifteen years its Treasurer.
In 1892, he married Mrs. Helen (Forbes) Lewis, daughter of

FRANCIS LOVELACE,
Governor of New York, 1668-1673.
By J. Hall Pleasants, M.D.
The question of the identity of Francis Lovelace, colonial gov-
ernor of New York from 1668 to 1673, has recently come under
discussion. The writer has investigated the subject anew and has
brought to light additional evidence which conclusively establishes
the fact that the governor is to be identified with Francis Lovelace,
brother of the cavalier poet Richard Lovelace, of the Lovelaces of
Bethersden, Kent, and not with a distant kinsman and contempo-
rary, Francis, son of Richard, first lord Lovelace of Hurley, Berks,
with whom he has until recently been uniformly confused by English
and American biographers. This sketch deals with the known facts,
as now disentangled, in the life of Governor Lovelace, other than
with the political aspects of his administration as governor of New
York, which will be considered.
Francis Lovelace was born between 1620 and 1622, and was the
third son of Sir William Lovelace, knight, of Bethersden and Wool-
wich, Kent. Under his father's will he received jointly with his
brother William, lands in the parish of Sholden, Kent, these lands
having been purchased by the latter from Sir Peter Manwood, knight.
Francis Lovelace was an ardent royalist. He was furnished by his
brother Richard Lovelace, the poet, with money and men for the
cause of Charles I (Wood's Athenae ; 1813-1820; iii ; p. 462), and
served in the civil wars with the title of colonel. He was active for
the royalist cause in Wales, and in June, 1644, we find him Gov-
ernor of Carmarthen Castle, where he commanded until 1645, when
after a stubborn resistance, the castle and town were forced to
capitulate to the Parliamentary forces {Philip's Civic Wars in
Wales; i; pp. 232, 233. 237; ii ; pp. 190, 274). It was during this
siege that his brother William Lovelace was killed. A poem. To His
Deare Brother Colonel F[ranf:is'\ L[ovelace] — Immoderately
Mourning My Brother's [i. e., William's] Untimely Death at Car-
marthen, by Richard Lovelace, commemorates the event (Lucasta;
The Poetical Works of Richard Lovelace; Haditt Edition; xviii ;
I). 125). Francis Lovelace now disappears from sight for a few
years when it seems probable that he was with his brothers Rich-
ard and Dudley on the continent in the service of Louis XIV. A pass
was issued Mav, 1650, by the Parliamentary Council of State for
the safe conduct of Hen. Modie and Col. Francis Lovelace with six
servants to Long Island on his way to Virginia (Calendar of State
Papers — Domestic; 1650; p. 539). It was probably on the eve of
Francis Lovelace's departure for Virginia that his brother Richard
wrote the poem — Advice to my Best Brother, Coll. Francis Love-
176
Francis Lovelact.
[July
lace — {Poetical Works of Richard Lovelace; Haditt Edition; p.
218), which opens with the lines:
"Frank, wil't Hve unhandsomely? Trust not too far
Thy self to waving seas : for what thy star,
Calculated by sure event, must be;
Look in the glassy epithete,* and see."
The writer is inclined to believe that he was accompanied by his
sister, Anne, the widow of the Rev. John Gorsuch, Rector of Wal-
kern, Herts, who, with several of her younger children, appear in
Virginia about this time {Virginia Magadne; xxiv; p. 89). Francis
Lovelace apparently remained in Virginia about two years, for
May, 1652, there was presented to the "Commissioners on behalf of
the Commonwealth in Virginia" a "Petition of Colonel Francis
Lovelace to the Council of State," which recites "That petit'r accord-
ing to Articles for surrender of Virginia [to the Commissioners of
the Commonwealth] was [appointed] to give account to the late
King of Scots [Charles II], wheresoever he were, of the reduction
of said Colony, And being appointed by the Commissioners author-
ized by Parliament to make repair to said King, Prays their Honors'
order for a pass to France, where he supposeth the King to be"
(ibid ; xvii ; pp. 284, 285). This petition was granted and there was
issued [May 10, 1652] a "Pass by the Commissioners on behalf of
the Commonwealth of England for reducing the Colony of Virginia
to her due obedience, for Colonel Francis Lovelace with his servant
and necessaries to repair to the late King of Scots and to return
without let or molestation, we having engaged the honor of the Par-
liament of England for fulfilling the capitulations agreed upon be-
tween us amongst which this is one. Signed in the name of the
Keepers of the Liberty of the Commonwealth of England by Ric.
Bennett and Wm. Claiborne with their seals" {Colonial Papers II;
No. 52). Whether he returned to Virginia after fulfilling his mis-
sion is uncertain, but Dec. 25, 1652,, the Council of State in England
issued a pass to "Fras. Lovelace beyond seas" {Calendar of State
Papers — Domestic: 1651-1652; p. 274).
Lovelace now disappeared from sight for a few years, when he
was doubtless with Charles II in exile on the continent, but that his
activities in behalf of the royalist cause had again brought him under
displeasure is to be gleaned from a letter of warning from Man-
ning, one of Cromwell's agents on the continent, to John Thurloe,
secretary of Cromwell's Council of State, dated July ist, 1655, which
ends with the admonition "Remember Cols. Fras. Lovelace and Edw.
Villers [Sir Edward Villiers] {Calendar of State Papers — Domestic;
i6S5 ; P- 212). Lovelace was with Charles in Cologne, when in Sept.,
1655, one of Thurloe's secret agents reporting from there upon the
activities of various royalists, writes: "and much rejoicing there is
for major Robert Walter's escape, since which colonel Francis Love-
*"Look in the Glassy-epithete " obviously refers to crystal-gazing to
forecast the future.

lace is got into Holland" (Thurloe's State Papers; iv ; p. 10). Love-
lace, during this period of his life, spent most of his time on the
continent with Charles II and his retinue. A letter to Secretary
Thurloe from Blank Marshal, one of his intelligence officers abroad,
dated April 8, 1657, from Bruges, where Charles then was, report-
ing upon events, writes : "we had yesterday about fifty young bloods
from your parts but in a short time they will regret it. There is
come hither with them — one captain [Dudley] Lovelace, a brother to
colonel [Francis] Lovelace, who is always here" [Thurloe's State
Papers; vi ; p. 151). How or why he again should have been
within the jurisdiction of Cromwell we do not know, but he was
soon afterwards on the wing, for Aug. 4, 1657, a pass was issued by
the Protector and Council "for Fras : Lovelace and servant to Hol-
land" (Colonial State Papers — Domestic; 1657-1658; p. 549). In
a letter from Thomas Ross, a royalist agent, dated Bruges, Aug. 31,
1657, to Col. Gervase Holies, then apparently in Holland, in refer-
ence to a certain M'r. Walton, Ross writes : "as to the £300 it is
truth, and I guess your authour Fr[ank] Love [lace] by the severe
close — he not fancying him [Walton] as a confident." In another
letter from Ross, dated Bruges, Jan. 10, 1657-8, to Holies, then at
Rotterdam, the former writes : "I writt to you by the last and told
you my sense of Dud. Lovelace, but as to the money I can say nothing
to it, and (mee thinks) Frank [Lovelace] might as easily return
him his money, as to give his friends soe much trouble and expense
of letters about it — I am glad to find Frank Lovelace so confident
there, I hope wee have as good grounds to be confident here." And
again, under date of May 4, 1658, Ross, writing to Holies from
Brussels, referring to the uprising in England for Qiarles, writes:
"Massey was gone likewise, and your cousin Frank Lovelace, so that
we doubt not that ere this, they are more thousands then at first they
were hundreds" (Historical MMS. Commission ; London, 1904 —
Calendar of the Manuscripts of the Marquis of Bath; ii ; pp. 119,
120-121, 133). This last letter indicates that Lovelace had returned
to England to further there the royalist cause. Aug. 5, 1659, he
was under arrest as on this date Wm. Cooper, Mr. Denton, Col.
Fras. Lovelace and Sir Bayham Throckmorton were committed to
prison by the Council of State (Calendar of State Papers — Domestic;
1659-1660; p. 75). It is thought that they were coinmitted to the
Tower. There would seem no question that these arrests were for
participation in one of the various abortive risings planned by the
royalists during the summer of 1659 for the restoration of Charles
II. His confinement was short lived, however, for a few months
later saw the Commonwealth overthrown and the release of all roy-
alist political prisoners.
Very little is known of Francis Lovelace for the first few years
following the Restoration. Pepys, in his Diary, refers to him once,
December 16, 1662. in such a way as to show that he was then living
in London, and that he probably held a position under the admirality :
"Hence to Col. Lovelace in Cannon Row about seeing how Sir R.
Ford did report all the officers of the Navy to be rated for the Loyal

helpers, but finding him at the Rhenish warehouse I could not have
answer, but must take another time." Broadhead asserts that he was
a favorite of the King and one of the gentlemen of the "honourable
privy chamber" [groom of the bed chamber], but does not give his
authority for the latter statement {Broadhcad's History of New
York; ii; p. 138).
Francis Lovelac« inherited at least some portion of the family
talent for verse as is showii by his poem called To My Best Brother
on His Poems Called '' Lucasta" addressed to his brother Richard
and published in the 1649 edition of the latter's poems {Lovelace's
Poetical Works ; Hazlitt Edition ; pp. 5-6). That he also had some
ability as an artist may be seen from the engraved portrait by him
of his brother Richard, which appears as the frontispiece or the
latter's Posthume Poems; 1659 (ibid).
Samuel Maverick, writing to the Earl of Clarendon, upon affairs
in the New Netherlands and New England, in an undated letter ap-
parently written in 1661 or 1662, says : "I have had thoughts of late
to propound to your Lordp a p'ers'on I apprehend fitt for a Com-
mandor there. It is Collonell Francis Lovelace, a p'rson euery way
accompllished for such an Imploy and very well beloued in all those
pts." It is difficult to determine from this letter to just what post
Maverick referred ; possibly it was to Long Island, for in 1665 or
1666, a certain order was directed to "Fras. Lovelace, deputy gov-
ernor of Long Island" (Calendar of State Papers — Domestic; 1665-
1666; p. 148). It will be recalled that he was given a pass to Long
Island in 1650, on his way to Virginia, when he may have ingratiated
himself with persons of influence there.
June 13, 1667, a commission as lieutenant-colonel was issued to
Fr: Lovelace in a regiment then being raised by Col. Sir Walter
Vane (Calendar of State Papers — Domestic; 1667; p. 181), and a
letter from Col. Werden to Sir Allan Apsley in reference to the
appointm.ent states that "the Duke [of York] approves of the ap-
pointment" (Calendar of State Papers — Domestic, Additional;
1660-1670; p. 725). His selection as governor of New York was
doubtless the revrard for his unswerving devotion and that of his
brothers to the cause of the Stewarts. The first announcement of
the appointment of which we have a conternporary record appears
under date of April 16, 1667, in a newsletter: "12th [April] ; Col-
onel Lovelace, brother of Lord Lovelace is to succeed Colonel Nich-
olas [Nicolls] in the government of New York" (Historical MSS.
Commission ; 12th Report; Appendix vii. London, p. 47). Theglaring
error made in this brief announcement in this newsletter is at the
foundation of all the confusion which has arisen in regard to the
identity of Francis Lovelace, the Governor of New York. News-
letters as the forerunners of the modern newspapers were just as
subject to error as the latter. They were collections of news items,
principally of London happenings, issued in manuscript form in as
many copies as the writer had subscribers, and were circulated chiefly
in the London coffee houses and among the country gentry ; and like
the modern newspapers, their accuracy was solely dependent upon
1920.] Francis Lovelace. 1 79
the reliability of the various news gatherers. That this newswriter
was far from infallible is shown by the fact that he not only con-
fused Francis Lovelace, the subject of this sketch, with his distant
cousin and contemporary Francis,* second son of Richard, first
* (i) Francis Lovelace, the second son of Richard, first Lord Lovelace of
Hurley, and brother of John the second baron, was apparently born about
1620, and seems to have been an individual of relatively little importance.
Burke states that he married Mary, the daughter of William King, of Ivers,
Bucks, but the following rather indicates that his wife's name may have been
Ann King (Dormant & Extinct Baronage; iii ; pp. 497-499). Francis Love-
lace, Esq., second son to Richard, Lord Lovelace, Baron ot Hurtiey, deceased,
June 5, 1661, petitioned the House of Lords for an annulment of his mar-
riage on the ground that he had been "inveigled to marry without the privity
of his relations and much below his quality and condition, [and] was after-
wards by the like circumvention and cozenage induced to settle his whole
estate upon trust to his wife." The petition goes on to recite that as he is
now prevented from enjoying his estate and from living with his wife, that
Ann King, Ann Lovelace and others be summoned before their lordships for
examination and that relief be granted him (Historical MMS. Commission;
yth Report; Appendix ; p. 144). No decision is recorded. He was living in
1665 at Kilham, Berks, with Mr. Richard Lovelace, of Wargrave (Visitation
of Berkshire, 1665; Harleian Society; p. 158). The writer has recently found
the will of this Francis Lovelace in which he describes himself as "of Podyers,
parish of Hurley, co. Berks, Esq.," dated Jan. 19, i672[3], proved Feb. 22,
l672[3], under which he makes his only son William his universal legatee
and executor (Prerogative Court of Canterbury IVills: 1673; Pye 22"). Upon
the death in 1693. without male issue, of John, third baron Lovelace of Hur-
ley, son of John the second baron and nephew of the above mentioned Francis,
the baronacy passed to John, son of William, and grandson of Francis. It
was this John, the fourth baron Lovelace of Hurley, who in 1709 became
governor of New York.
(ii) Francis Lovelace, the recorder of Canterbury, of the Canterbury
branch of the Bethersden family, must also be carefully distinguished from
Francis Lovelace of Hurley, and from Francis Lovelace, governor of New
York. He was the son of Lancelot Lovelace, recorder of Canterbury, and
was baptized Sept. 22. i,';94. This Lancelot Lovelace was the son of Henry
Lovelace of Kingsdown. and the grandson of William Lovelace of Bethers-
den, and his wife Lora Peckham. Francis Lovelace, the recorder was admitted
to Gray's Inn, 1609, and although he was removed from this office in 1643 on
account of his royalist sympathies, he was reinstated after the restoration.
He took part in the Christmas Day riot at Canterbury in 1647. In 1660, he
was granted by the King the Stewardship of the Liberties of St. Augustine,
and made the address of welcome to the King and Queen the same year. He
was also made Steward of the Chancery Court of the Cinque Ports. He was
buried, March ist, 1663-4. By his first wife Elizabeth Rogers, whom he mar-
ried about 163S, he had five sons and two daughters, and by his second wife
Anne, one daughter (Archacologia Canticnta; x; pp. 217, 219).
(iii) There was also a third contemporary Francis Lovelace of the
Bethersden line, nearly related to, and possibly a nephew of Governor Francis
Lovelace of New York, who died in Maryland in 1684. His position on the
Bethersden pedigree has not been exactly determined, but his will shows that
he was a "cosen" of the children and grandchildren of Anne (Lovelace)
Gorsuch, a sister of the governor (Virginia Magazine; xxiv ; p. 439). This
Francis Lovelace was appointed a Commissioner for the Advancement of
Trade in Baltimore County, Oct., 1683 (Archives Maryland; vii; p. 611). He
may have been the son of Thomas Lovelace or of Dudley Lovelace, brothers
of the governor, and was apparently unmarried. An abstract of his will will
be found in Baldivin's Maryland Calendar of Wills (i; p. 130). This will
was dated 3 March, 1683-4, and was proved 19 May, 1684 (Maryland Wills;
Annapolis; Liber v; fol. 38).
1 80 Francis Lovelace. [July
Lord Lovelace of Hurley ,and brother of John, second Lord Love-
lace, but the name of Colonel Nicolls, the retiring governor of New
York, appears as Nicholas. The mistake in the identity of the
governor on the part of the newswriter becomes somewhat the
more excusable, however, when it is remembered that a great
intimacy existed between the family of the governor and the
Lovelaces of Hurley, and that they may have been associated to-
gether on this account in the mind of the public. The author of the
sketch of Governor Francis Lovelace in the Dictionary of National
Biography (xxxiv; p. 165), has also unfortunately not only taken
the newsletter statement at its face value, but has still further con-
fused the situation by giving us in his biography of the governor
what is really a composite picture of these two individuals, although
at the same time warning us that they must be carefully distin-
guished from each other and from a third of the same name who
was recorder of Canterbury at this period. This same error, which
was also made by Broadhead in his History of Neiv York, and by
nearly all biographers, has until recently remained undetected.
Although the appointment of Francis Lovelace as governor of
New York, according to the newsletter, was announced April 12,
1667, Broadhead states that he did not actually arrive in the prov-
ince until the following spring, and even then spent a few months
with Nicolls, who continued to act as governor, familiarizing him-
self with the duties of the position until August, 1668, when he
finally assumed office (Broadhcads History of the State of New
York; ii; p. 142). Under date of Aug. 28, 1668, he writes from
Fort James, New York, to Lord Arlington, secretary of state, ex-
pressing his great regret that he had been unable to see Arlington
before leaving England (Calendar of State Papers — Colonial; 1661-
1668; p. 608). This letter would rather seem to indicate that he
had only recently left England, and was not acting as deputy gover-
nor of Long Island when appointed governor of New York.
With the details of Lovelace's administration as governor of
New York from the political standpoint we need not concern our-
selves in this connection. The numerous histories of that province
can be readily referred to by those who are interested in this aspect
of his career. As the agent of the Duke of York, in the management
of his province, and in view of his intense loyalty to the Stewarts
and to the political principles represented by them, it could hardly
be expected that he would have been in sympathy with the ideals of
self-government which were then beginning to make themselves felt
in the colonies. In political matters his tendencies were distinctly
conservative, and upon the whole, his administration was what may
fairly be called a benevolent autocracy. Considerable new light has
been thrown upon the details of his administration by the recent pub-
lication by the State of New York of the Minutes of the Executive
Council during his administration, two volumes of which have so
far appeared. His most important act was probably the establish-
ment of the first regvilar mail route in the colonies. In 1673, a
monthly post between New York and Boston was started, and the
1920.] Francis Lovelace, 181
letter from Lovelace to Governor Winthrop, of Connecticut, outlin-
ing the advantages of thus "begetting a mutual understanding" be-
tween the several colonies which he felt would be thereby promoted,
shows a truly prophetic vision. He also established the first Mer-
chants' Exchange, and New York waxed prosperous under him. He
does not appear to have been personally unpopular, and upon the
whole, gave New York a good, if somewhat paternalistic, govern-
ment. His official residence was at Fort James, where a degree of
state and formality out of keeping with the crudity of the environ-
ment seems to have been maintained. A detailed description of the
ceremonies in connection with the funeral of his nephew, William
Lovelace, at Fort James, in 1671, recently found among the manu-
scripts of the Bodleian Library, Oxford, to which reference will be
made later, shows a degree of ceremonial and luxury existing in the
province which seems scarcely credible {American Historical Re-
view; ix; 1904; pp. 522-5). Governor Lovelace had a large plan-
tation on the upper part of Staten Island where he apparently spent
part of his time, the later history of which has been traced in a most
interesting way by Mr. EdvvardC. Dalavan, Jr., in a pamphlet, Colonel
Francis Lovelace and His Plantation on Staten Island {Proceedings
of Natural History Association of Staten Island; 1902; pp. 47-75).
But events^ over which Lovelace had no control were rapidly de-
veloping which were soon to bring about the ruin of his political and
private fortunes. Holland and England were again at war, and a
powerful Dutch fleet had been secretly dispatched to seize New
York. Lovelace, who was returning from a visit to Governor Win-
throp, at Hartford, made to further his new poste route scheme, was
totally unconscious of the impending danger, when July 28, 1673,
the Dutch fleet anchored off Staten Lsland. Maurading parties were
landed, the governor's plantation plundered and his cattle seized.
Two days later, the ships sailed up the bay and engaged Fort James.
After the exchange of a few shots, resistance was seen to be hope-
less, the white flag was run up, and the fort surrendered, and July
30, New York again passed under Dutch control. Lovelace was
severely criticised by the Duke of York for being absent from the
province at this time, and even unjustifiable insinuations as to his
personal courage were afterwards made by the Duke. It should be
remembered, however, that the cry of wolf had been heard for so
many months as to be little heeded, and as far as the result was
concerned, the presence of the governor himself at the fort could
have made no possible dififerences, for its defenses were in every
way inadequate to withstand the attack of an even less powerful fleet
than that to which it surrendered. Lovelace's stubborn defense of
Carmarthen Castle in 1644, and the risks which he had afterward
continually incurred for the Stewart cause, should fully attest as to
his personal bravery.
Lovelace, who had hurried back to Long Island upon hearing the
news, was persuaded to return to New York by promises of political
immunity. The Dutch council, however, at once proceeded to con-
fiscate the property of most of the prominent English residents, in-
I 8 2 Francis Lovelace. [July
eluding the governor and his brothers Thomas and Dudley. It ap-
pears that the governor had, during his administration, acquired by
patent and purchase, a large amount of land in various parts of the
province, especially on Staten Island and in Ulster County in the
neighborhood of Hurley, which he named in honor of his distant
cousin. Lord Lovelace of Hurley. Much of the land acquired by
purchase was subject to mortgages and had been paid for only in
small part. The confiscation of these equities by the Dutch, to-
gether with the payments still due by him to the former owners,
plunged him hopelessly into debt and utterly ruined him. Numerous
suits in regard to the titles of lands at one time owned by him fill
the records of the province, in some cases, as in that involving the
title of the celebrated Dominie's Bowrie, lying in New York City,
not being finally settled until nearly a century later. Lovelace, who
had been obviously lured back to the city by his enemies for his un-
doing was, contrary to the spirit of the assurances of safety which
had been made to him, almost immediately arrested for debt. In a
letter to Governor Winthrop, informing him of his plight, he
writes : "Would you be curious to know what this amounts to — I
can in short resolve you. It was my all which ever I had been col-
lecting; too great to misse in this wildernesse." After some diffi-
culty with his creditors, he was finally allowed to sail with the
Dutch fleet in Admiral Binckes's ship for Holland, and eventually
found his way back to England {Neiv York Colonial Documents ;
ii; pp. 579, 603). Moore makes the remarkable statement that he
was afterwards captured by the Turks and severely wounded, dying
as the result of his wounds ! {Historical Notes on the Introduc-
tion of Printing into Nezu York; 1888; pp. 4-5.)
On his return to England, Lovelace was to experience the pro-
verbial gratitude of the Stewarts, to whose interests he had devoted
himself unreservedly for over twenty years. The Duke of York,
Aug. 6, 1674, brought suit against him in New York, which was
again in the hands of the English, to satisfy debts claimed to amount
to £7000, and executed upon his property there (Colonial Docu-
ments Relating to the History of Nezv York; iii ; p. 226: xiii ; p. 481).
This suit completed the ruin of his private fortune. But the vin-
dictiveness of the Duke was still unsatisfied. January 11, [1674]-
1675, a "warrant [was] issued to the Lieutenant of the Tower to
receive Col. Lovelace, committed for not having defended the col-
ony and post of New York, according to his commission and duty"
( Calendar of State Papers — Domestic ; 1673-1675 ; p. 527) . Feb. 22,
[1674] -1675, the Lieutenant of the Tower is directed to send Col.
Lovelace at such time and place as shall be appointed by the com-
mittee who are to examine him (ibid. 603). A newsletter of March
27, 1674-5, states that under date of March 2: "The King has ap-
pointed a Committee consisting of the Duke of Monmouth and
others to inquire into the surrender of New York. They this morn-
ing examined Col. Lovelace the governor, who gave them the rea-
sons of his absence at the time of the surrender. They were not
satisfied and have adjourned until Thursday." Again a newsletter
1 920. J Francis Lovelace. 1 83
of [April] 5, 167s, under a news item of March 9, adds: "Col. Love-
lace was examined to-day at the Cockpit & report to be drawn up"
(Historical MSS. Commission; 12th Report; Appendix VII ; p. 117).
Finally, April 26, 1675, a warrant was issued to Sir John Robinson,
Lieutenant of the Tower, to release "Col. Francis Lovelace, his
prisoner, by giving security of 500 £ to surrender when required, he
having fallen dangerously ill of a dropsy and being in great want of
necessaries" {Calendar of State Papers — Domestic; 1675-1676;
p. 81).
The writer has recently discovered in the English probate records
that Lovelace's last days were spent at Woodstock, near Oxford, and
that he apparently died there in the latter part of 1675, for letters
of administration were issued Dec. 22, 1675, to "Dudley Lovelace,
brother of Francis Lovelace, late of Woodstock, co. Oxon, bachelor,
deceased" {Prerogative Court of Canterbury; Administration Act
Book; 1675; fol. 151 d.). That he must have left some estate is
indicated by the fact that eleven yearsr later. May 10, 1686, another
"commission [to administer] was issued to Joan Caesar, alius Love-
lace, wife of Robert Caesar, sister and next of kin of Francis Love-
lace abovesaid, Dudley Lovelace now being dead" (ibid.; 1686; fol.
76 d.). We do not certainly know why Francis Lovelace went to
Woodstock to spend his last days, possibly his sister, Mrs. Caesar was
then living there, but as his cousin. Lord Lovelace of Hurley, who
was lieutenant of Woodstock, owned estates there, it may be that
he was cared for during his last illness by his Hurley relations.
Francis Lovelace never married. This is proven by the direct
reference to him as "bachelor," when his estate was administered
upon. In the sketch of him in the Dictionary of National Biography,
already referred to, it is asserted that he married Mary King and
that he was the grandfather of John Lovelace, fourth baron Love-
lace of Hurley, and governor of New York for a short time in 1709.
As already shown in a footnote, it was his distant cousin, Francis
Lovelace, brother of John, second Lord Lovelace, who married Ann
King, and who was the grandfather of John Lovelace, fourth baron
and governor of New York in 1709.
Proof of the identity of Governor Francis Lovelace, of New
York, rests upon absolutely conclusive evidence. The writer of this
sketch is now contributing to the Virginia Magacinc of History and
Biography a rather full genealogy of the family of Lovelace of
Bethersden, Kent, illustrated with portraits of the father, grand-
fathei^ and great-grandfather of Governor Lovelace. All the hither-
to published genealogies of the Lovelaces of Bethersden, are either
more or less inaccurate or are incomplete ; the best is that by the Rev.
A. J. Pearman, in the Archaeologia Cantiana ( 1876 ; x ; pp. 178-220).
The writer traces in detail in the Virginia Maga::inr the descent of
Sir William Lovelace,' knight (i 584-1627). the father of Governor
Francis Lovelace,' as seventh in descent from John Lovelace,'' who
founded Lovelace Place at Bethersden, Kent, in 1367. Thi-; Sir
William Lovelace,' the younger, of Bethersden and Woolwich, Kent,
who was baptized at St. Alphege, Canterbury-, Feb. 12, 1583-4, was
1 84 Francis Lovelace. [July
the son of Sir William Lovelace," the elder, knight, of Bethersden,
and his wife, Elizabeth Aucher, and a grandson of Sergeant Wil-
liam Lovelace, ° who was prominent in the law in the reign of Eliza-
beth. Sergeant Lovelace^ was the son of William Lovelace* of
Bethersden, and the grandson of William Lovelace,^ who had two
brothers. Sir Richard Lovelace,^ Marshal of Calais, and John Love-
lace,^ generally supposed to be the ancestor of the barons Lovelace
of Hurley.* These three brothers were the sons of Richard Love-
lace," of London and Bethersden, and the grandsons of John Love-
lace,' the founder in 1367, of Lovelace Place, previously referred to.
From this it will be seen that the Lovelaces of Hurley were rather
distantly related to Governor Francis Lovelace.
Sir William Lovelace,' of Bethersden and Woolwich, the father
of Governor Lovelace,'* was knighted by James I at Theobald's 20
Sept., 1609, and served with distinction in the Low Countries. He
married about 1610, Anne, the daughter of Sir William Barne, of
Woolwich, knight, and his wife^ Anne Sandys. Both the Barne and
Sands families took a very active part in the colonization of Vir-
ginia, and have been shown to be connected by blood and marriage
with numerous individuals whose names are inseparably associated
with the colonization of America. Anne Sandys was the sister of
* The Lovelaces of Hurley, Berkshire, trace their descent from John Love-
lace of Hurley, whose will was proved in 1558 {Prcronative Court of Canter-
bury Wills: 1558). He is supposed to be identical with a certain John Love-
lac^-* of the Bethersden line, but although there was certainly a blood relation-
ship between the Bethersden and Hurley families, the exact connection has
not been absolutely proven by modern researches (Virginia Maga::ine ; xxvii ;
No. I, et) seq. Archaclogia Cantiana; x; pp. 184, 185). John Lovelace was
succeeded by his eldest son Richard, who died in 1602. The family fortunes
were firmly established by Richard Lovelace, the eldest son of the above men-
tioned Richard of Hurley, according to Macaulay "out of spoils of Spanish
galleons from the Indies," captured by his privateers. This Richard Love-
lace, born in 1568, was knighted in isgo, and was created Lord Lovelace,
baron of Hurley, in 1627. He was the builder of Lady Place, the family seat
at Hurley. John Lovelace, the second baron, who upon the death of his
father in 1634, succeeded to the title when only eighteen years of age, was an
ardent royalist. He married Anne, the daughter and eventual heiress of
Thomas, Earl of Cleveland. Dying in 1670, he was succeeded by his son,
John Lovelace the third baron, who is described by Macaulay as "dis-
tinguished by his taste, by his magnificense, and by the audacious and intem-
perate vehemence of his Whiggi=m," and who played so important a part
in the revolution which placed William of Orange upon the throne. Upon
the death of John the third baron, in 1603, without male heirs surviving him,
the baronacy passed to his cousin John Lovelace the fourth baron, who
became governor of New York in 1709, dying shortly after his arrival in that
province. The latter's eldest son. John, succeeded to the title, but dying a
fortnight after his father, without issue, his only brother Nevil became the
sixth baron, with whose death, July 28, 1736, without heirs, the title became
extinct. John Lovelace, governor of New York, the fourth baron, married
Charlotte, daughter of Sir John Clayton, Knight ; she died April 12, 1749,
This John Lovelace, the governor, was the son of William Lovelace of Hur-
ley, and the grandson of Francis, the younger brother of John Lovelace, the
second baron. It is this Francis Lovelace of Hurley, the second son of
Richard Lovelace, the first baron, who has been so generally confused with
Francis Lovelace, the governor of New York from 1667 to 1673.

the poet, and was the daughter of Edwin Sandys, Archbishop of
York, in the reign of Elizabeth. Sir WilHam Lovelace' "was slain
at the siege of the Burse," or the Groll, in Holland, in 1627. His
widow married Jonathan Browne, Doctor of Laws and Dean of
Hereford. Sir William Lovelace's' will, dated July 15, 1622, and
proved June 23, 1628 {Prerogative Court of Canterbury Wills;

lace) Browne, dated May 16, 1632, and proved May 22, 1633 {Pre-
rogative Court of Canterbury Wills; 1633; Russell 51), together with
other documents fully cited in the sketch referred to in the Virginia
Magazine, show that he left issue five sons and three daughters.
Richard Lovelace," the poet and Cavalier, was the eldest son.

the administration of his brother, as does also the youngest son,

York, is the subject of our sketch. William," the fourth son, was
killed in 1645 ^t the siege of Carmarthen. Of the three daughters,
the eldest, Anne," married the Rev. John Gorsuch, of Walkern,
Herts, and emigrated to Virginia with seven of her younger children,
all of whom married and left numerous descendants in Virginia and
Maryland (Virginia Magazine of History and Biography; xxiv-
xxvii). Joan, the second daughter, married Robert Caesar, the son
of Sir John Caesar. Her three beautiful daughters were the sub-
ject of Richard Lovelace's poem, Paris's Second Judgment. The
youngest daughter Elizabeth Lovelace" married Daniel Hayne, of
Kintbury Eaton, Berks. As the two brothers, Thomas" and Dudley"
Posthumous, pass across the pages of New York colonial history, the
brief sketches of them which follow may be of interest.
Of Richard Lovelace," the poet, little need be said, as recent
biographical sketches of him are fairly accurate. He inherited
Bethersden Place, which he sold in 1649 to Richard Hulse. It should
be noted, however, that Berry, Hazlitt and other earlier writers, fall
into a serious error in stating that he married and had a daughter
Margaret, who, through her marriage with Henry, the son of Chief
Justice Coke, became the ancestress of the earls of Leicester. This
is an error, as the poet never married, these writers confusing him
with another Richard Lovelace of the Lovelaces of Kingsdown.

XX ; pp. 60-61).
The question of the identity of Governor Francis Lovelace seems
to have been first raised by George H. Moore, in a pamphlet His-
torical Notes on the Ivfroducfinn of Printing Into New York. 1888
(pp. 4-5), in which he states that the governor was of the Bethers-
den family and not the son ot Richard, first Lord Lovelace of Hur-
lev. Moore, however, gives no details and ofifers no evidence in sup-
port of this statement. Edwin C. Delavan, Jr., in his previously
cited Colonel Francis Lovelace and His Statcn Island Plantation.
1902, presents certain evidence tending to bring into question the

generally accepted statement that the governor was of the Hurley
family, and adds that the Lovelace pedigrees should be restudied.
William G. Stanard, editor of the Vircjinla Magazine of History and
Biography, was the tirst to produce definite evidence establishing
his true identity, based upon the colonial records of Virginia and
Maryland. He pointed out in the Virginia Magazine, 1909 (xvii;
pp. 288-291), that the governor of New York was the brother of
Anne Lovelace, the wife of Rev. John Gorsuch, of Walkern, Herts,
who is known to have been the daughter of Sir William Lovelace, of
Bethersden, and his wife Anne Barne. Among the manuscripts of
Thomas Jefferson, in the Congressional Library, are preserved two
letters from Francis Lovelace, governor of New York, to Governor
William Berkeley, of Virginia, dated respectively, Nov. 18, 1668, and
Dec. 6, i66g ; the second of these letters which is given in full in the
Virginia Magazine, requests the interest of Governor Berkeley in
behalf of a nephew of Lovelace, the son of his niece Kath. Gorsuch
by her husband Will Whitbey, for whom Mr. Tho. Todd, of Mock-
jack [Mobjack] Bay [Virginia], was the guardian. As is explained
by the editor of the Virginia Magazine, and has been further elabo-
rated by the present writer {Virginia Magazine; xxiv; pp. 81-93),
there is absolute and conclusive evidence that Mrs. Anne (Lovelace)
Gorsuch, who came to Virginia about 1650, had among other chil-
dren, two daughters, one of whom, Katharine, married William
Whitby, of Middlesex County, Virginia (leaving a son William
Whitby, Jr.), and another daughter, Anne Gorsuch, who married
Captain Thomas Todd, of Mobjack Bay, Gloucester County, Vir-
ginia, and later of Baltimore County, Maryland.
In addition to this evidence from Virginia and Maryland sources,
there are several direct statements to the effect that Thomas and
Dudley Lovelace, who were in New York when Francis Lovelace
was governor, were his brothers. There is in the Bodleian Library,
Oxford, a contemporary manuscript, already referred to, describing
in detail and in a most picturesque manner, the funeral in New
York of a young son of Thomas Lovelace, the brother of governor
Francis Lovelace {American Historical Reviezij; ix; pp. 522-4). In
this account, young William Lovelace is spoken of as a nephezv of
the governor and of Dudley Lovelace. In the reports of the Com-
mission appointed by the governor in 1670, to lay out the boundries
of Hurley and Marbleton, of which Dudley Lovelace was president,
he is spoken of as the brother of the governor {Documents Relat-
ing to the Colonial History of New York; xiii ; p. 447) ; and also in
a letter from Francis to Dudley {Minutes Executive Council, Love-
lace's Administration; i ; p. 384). In a contemporary account of the
surrender of New York to the Dutch, by John Sharpe, an eye wit-
ness, Thomas Lovelace is again spoken of as a brother of the gov-
ernor {Massachusetts Historical Collections; 6th ser.; iii ; pp. 436-
444)-

clusive, it seems worth while to reprint here abstracts of both of
these wills, obtained by the writer from the English probate records,

Thomas* and Dudley,* who figure for a short time in New York.
The will of Sir William Lovelace,' the younger of Biedersden
[Bethersden], co. Kent, Knight, dated July 15, 1622, was proved
June 23, 1628, in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (1628;
Harrington 60). The following is an abstract:

The will of Anne, widow of Sir William Lovelace,' dated 16
May, 1632, was proved 22 May, 1633, in the Prerogative Court of
Canterbury (1633; Russell, 51). The following is an abstract:

THOMAS LOVELACE
Thomas Lovelace, the second son of Sir William Lovelace of
Bethersden, and elder brother of Governor Lovelace, w^as bom about
1620, and is referred to in his father's will as his second son. In
1628, apparently soon after his father's death, application was made
to admit him as a pupil to Charterhouse School [Sutton's Hospital],
London, on the ground that his father had served the King "about
thirty years in the warres and left his lady with only a great score
of children" {Eg. Ms. 2553; fol. 51 b., Gentlemen's Magazine; 1884;
ii; p. 462). The Headmaster of Charterhouse informs the writer
that Thomas Lovelace's name does not appear in the old registers of
Charterhouse as a "gown-boy," so that it is not probable that he
was actually admitted "on the foundation," although it is quite
possible that he may have been received as a boarder in one of the
master's houses, no record of these students having been kept.
There is no question that Thomas Lovelace was a royalist, al
though his name has not been found among those who followed the
fortunes of Charles II on the continent during his exile as his
brothers, Francis and Dudley, are known to have done, nor do€S he
appear to have had an active military career as had these two
brothers and his brothers Richard and William. That he occasionally
indulged in versification can be seen from his poem to the memory of
his brother Richard {Poetical Works of Richard Lovelace; Hazlitt
Edition; pp. 291-2).
Thomas Lovelace appears in the records of New York a year
of two after the arrival of his brother Francis as governor. Broad-
head states that he was a member of the governor's council {His-
tory of Neiv York: ii ; p. 144) ; and it is certain he was present as
a member at a meeting of the council held June 29, 1671, and again
Nov. 7, 1671 {Minutes E.vcctitive Council; Nezv York; Lovelace's
Administration; i; pp. 94, 106). He appears as an alderman of
New York City, Oct. 13, 1671 (ibid.; p. 113). He was nominated
captain of the Foot Company of Staten Island, Jul}' i, 1672, and his
appointment confirmed, Feb. 4, 1672-3 (ibid.; p. 113). July 30,
1672, he was appointed one of the commissioners to strengthen the
defenses of Fort James (ibid.; ii; pp. 702-4), and appears, Jan. 11,
I920.] Francis Lovelace. i8q
1672-3, as one of the justices of New York City (ibid.; ii ; p. 761).
He was on his Staten Island plantation when the Dutch fleet was
sighted off New York, and was one of the messengers sent on
board to confer with the Dutch admiral at the time of the sur-
render, and was for a while detained as a prisoner of war {Mass.
Hist. Collections; 6 ser., Hi; pp. 436-444). He was shortly after-
wards ordered to abandon his plantation on Staten Island and to
leave the province, but the Dutch Council finally consented to allow
him six months in which to settle his affairs, this period being ex-
tended, March 7, 1674, for an additional three months, although the
Council declared that as "the requested Bouery is already leased, he
must provide himself with another residence" (Colonial Documents
Relating History Ncv.' York; ii ; pp. 692-694). Before the expira-
tion of this time, however, peace was declared, the province again
passed into English hands, and Lovelace was allowed to remain.
Thomas Lovelace's plantation, generally known as "Lovelace
farme," and later as "Ellis Duxbury's Glebe," containing 340 acres,
which has just been referred to, occupied the northeast point of
Staten Island, on what are now known as the heights of New
Brighton. This tract originally was a part of or adjoined the plan-
tation of Governor Francis Lovelace. It was occupied by Thomas
Lovelace as early as 1669. Its history is traced in some detail by
Mr. Edward C. Delavan, Jr., in his Colonel Francis Lovelace and
His Plantation on Staten Island {Proceedings of the Natural
Science Association of Staten Island; vii; 1902; pp. 49-79). Al-
though declared confiscated by the Dutch and the "Bouery leased,"
Lovelace seems to have been allowed to occupy Lovelace Farme until
the English were restored to power. He then endeavored to have
his clouded title cleared by securing a new patent from Governor
Andros, but many years passed before he was able to have any ac-
tion taken. March 5, 1687, he succeeded in having a survey of the
property recorded, but was never able to secure a new patent for
it. He continued to live on Staten Island until his death in i68g,
and appears as sheriff of Richmond County, Nov. i, 1684 ,and
June 4, 1685 {Werner's Civil List; State of Nezv York; 1886; p.
463. O'Callahan's Calendar of New York Historical Manuscripts ;
pt. 2; p. 137).
Thomas Lovelace married and is known to have had at least one
child. The name of his wife has not been learned. Among the
Ashmolean Manuscripts in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, there is a
contemporary account of the funeral, doubtless at Fort James, of
William, the young son of Thomas Lovelace, who died in 1671, en-
titled "The ffuneral Solemnities at the Interm*. of M''. W™. Lovelace
at New Yorke in America 1671." This account, which goes into
minute detail, has appeared in full in the American Historical Re-
view (ix; 1904; pp. 522-5), and is remarkable as showing a greater
degree of hixurv' and ceremonial than one would suppose to have
existed in the colonies at this early period.
The description of the funeral of young William Lovelace is of
sufficient interest to reprint in full :

Whether Thomas Lovelace had other children than this son
William is not known. It is just possible that a Francis Lovelace of
Baltimore County, Maryland, whose will, dated March 3, 1683-4, and
proved May 19, 1684, shows that he was very nearly related to this
branch of the Lovelace family, may have been another son {^Mary-
land Wills; Annapolis; Liber iv ; fol. 38). There is no question,
however, that when Thomas Lovelace died late in 1688, or early in
1689, that he was without issue surviving, and that "Lovelace
Farme" passed to his niece Mary Duxbury, although the identity of
this niece Mary Duxbury has not been established. She was cer-
tainly not a legitimate daughter of his brother Richard, the f>oet,
nor of his brother Francis, governor of New York, as both were
unmarried. It is hardly possible that she was the daughter of his
brother William, who was killed at the siege of Carmarthen, 1645,
when a very young man. She was certainly not the daughter of
either his sister Anne Gorsuch, or his sister Joanna Caesar, whose
descendants are known. She may possibly have been the daughter
of his brother Dudley or of his sister Katharine Hayne, or she may
even have been a niece of his wife.
The history of "Lovelace Farme," following Thomas Lovelace's
death, which is of considerable interest, is traced by Mr. Delavan.
March 10, 1691, Ellis Duxbury and his wife Mary, were granted a
conditional patent to the Lovelace plantation on the ground that
Capt. Thomas Lovelace, of Richmond County, deceased, was lately
possessed of Lovelace Farme on Staten Island, Ellis Duxbury hav-
ing married Mary, who is now his nearest heir in the province. A
patent was issued to the Duxburys for this land, but contained the
proviso that this grant should not bar any nearer heir or heirs of
Lovelace to any rights in the property (New York Patents; vi ; fol.
374). This proviso appears to have conferred an unsatisfactory
title, for June 13, 1702, the Duxburys petitioned for a new and un-
conditional patent, the petition reciting that "Capt. Thomas Lovelace
was posset of a certain farme — upon Staten Island — which hee
peaceably enjoyed for upwards of 20 years. And having no chil-
dren sent for ye petrs from Barbadoes, but before they Arrived at
192 Francis Lovelace. [Ju'y

have ye sd ffarme & dehvered them possession thereof (reserving to
herself maintenance for life) which they have enjoyed ever since
1689," etc. (New York Land Papers; iii; fol. 69). The long sought
for patent was not finally issued until Aug. 26, 1708 (Nczv York
Patents; vii ; fol. 385). Involving as it does, valuable property on
Staten Island the history of the title is of no little local interest. It
lies within the limits of New Brighton and Edgewater. Upon the
death of Ellis Duxbury, in 17 18, without heirs, "Lovelace Farme"
passed under his will to the Vestry of St. Andrews Church in Rich-
mond County {Surrogate Office Wills, N. Y.; ix; fol. 3), and was
afterwards generally known as "Ellis Duxbury's Glebe."
DUDLEY LOVELACE
Dudley Lovelace, the youngest son of Sir William Lovelace and
the brother of Governor Lovelace, was doubtless born soon after
his father's death, which occurred in 1627, as he styles himself in
the dedication to his brother Richard's poems as Dndley-P ostumus
Lovelace. He is, of course, not named in his father's will, and in
that of his mother is simply referred to as Dudley. He may have
gone to school at Charterhouse as did his brothers Richard and
Thomas. Wood states that Dudley was furnished by his brother
Richard "with moneys for his maintenance in Holland, to study
tactics and fortification in that school of war." He was an ardent
royalist. Returning to England in 1648, being then a captain in his
brother Richard's regiment which had seen service in the Nether-
lands under Louis XIV, the two brothers were committed as
prisoners to the Petre House, in London, on account of their royal-
ist sympathies {Wood's Athcnae; 1813-1820; iii; p. 462). He was
probably set free, as was his brother Richard, soon after the execu-
tion of Charles I.
Dudley Lovelace was among the group of royalists who followed
the fortunes of Charles II during his exile. A letter from Bruges,
where Charles then was, dated April 8, 1657, from one of the par-
liamentary agents to Thurloe, Cromwell's secretary of state, report-
ing upon royalist activities, says : "we had yesterday about fifty
young blades come from your parts, but in a short time they will
repent it. There is come hither with them — one captain [Dudley]
Lovelace, brother to colonel [Francis] Lovelace, who is always
here" {Thurloe's State Papers; vi ; p. 151). Again, Jan. 10, 1658,
he is reported to be in Rotterdam with Charles {Historical MSS.
Connnission, 1904; Calendar of MSS. of Marquis of Bath; ii ; pp.
120-121). Dudley Lovelace had probably returned to England when
in 1659, the second part of his brother Richard's poems appeared
under his editorship; Lucasta: Posthume Poems of Richard Love-
lace. Esq.; London; 1659. The dedication which is in verse, is to
John, the eldest son of John, second lord Lovelace of Hurley, and is
signed by "Your most obedient Servant and kinsman Dudley-
1920.] Francis Lovelace. 193
Posthumus Lovelace." The volume ends with an eulogistic
"epitaph" in verse by Dudley upon his brother Richard. Neither of
these verses by Dudley showr any special ability as a poet. Like
the first volume of poems w^hich was brought out by the poet him-
self, this second part shows indifferent editing, printers' errors in
the text and orthography being numerous. Dudley Lovelace also
contributed a commendatory poem to his cousin Thomas Stanley's
Ayres and Dialogues, 1656 {Lovelace's Poetical Works; Hazlitt
Edition; p. 20).
Dudley Lovelace was commissioned, June 13, 1667, as lieutenant
in Col. Sir Allen Apsley's regiment {Calendar of State Papers —
Domestic; i66j ; p. 181). He next appears with his brother Francis
in New York. March 17, 1669-70, he was appointed by Francis as
president of a commission to survey and grant lands in the towm of
Esopus, April [2], he was engaged in defining the boundaries between
Hurley and Marbleton, and July 2, 1672, was on a commission to
survey Staten Island {Documents Relating Colonial History, N. ¥.;
xiii ; pp. 443, 447, 466). As president of the Kingston Trustees, he
signed an agreement with the Indians, Jan. 27, i67i[-2], (ibid.; p.
401). Broadhead states that Dudley Lovelace was a member of
Governor Lovelace's Council {History New York; ii; p. 144). Dud-
ley Lovelace owned a plantation on Staten Island, adjoining the plan-
tations of his brothers Francis and Thomas, and at one time prob-
ably occupied it {New York Patents 4; p. 109). He was also rec-
ommended for a grant of land at Hurley and Marbleton, April [2],
1670 {Documents Relating Colonial History, N. Y.; xii ; p. 447). As
noted under Governor Francis Lovelace, he is several times spoken
of in contemporary documents as a brother of the governor. In
the elaborate ceremonies connected with the funeral of his nephew,
William Lovelace, son of his brother Thomas, which took place in
New York in 1671, he is called Capt. Dudley Lovelace, and is gen-
erally referred to in the records as "captain." July 13, 1670, Gov-
ernor Lovelace commissioned Capt. Dudley Lovelace as ensign iti
the local militia {Minutes Executive Council of New York; Love-
lace's Administration; i; p. 336). May 25, 1672, Capt. Dudley
Lovelace was commissioned as lieutenant of the Troop of Horse of
New York City (ibid. ; ii ; pp. 636-7).
Dudley Lovelace was one of the three officers in command of
Fort James when it surrendered to the Dutch Fleet, July 30, I773
{Massachusetts Historical Collections; 6th ser.; iii ; pp. 436-444).
and with Capt. John Manning and his brother Thomas Lovelace
signed an official statement explaining the necessity which compelled
the surrender {Calendar of State Papers — Colonial; 1669-1674; pp.
509-510). He was arrested by the Dutch commander and sent as a
prisoner to Europe. In an account of this trip, given by him, March
29, 1675, probably in connection with the official investigation of the
surrender of New York, it is stated that "Captain Dudley Lovelace
of New York with fifty soldiers, all prisoners in several Dutch ships,
were brought on the coast of Newfoundland 4th of September, 1673,
and carried into Ferryland Harbour where many inhabitants were

plundered" (Calendar of State Papers — Colonial; 1675-1676; p.
197)-
Dudley Lovelace appears, Dec. 22, 1675, as administrator upon
the estate of his brother Francis in England (Prerogative Court of
Canterbury Administration; 1675). There is no reason to believe
that he ever returned to the colonies. The writer has recently found
the administration upon Dudley's estate in England in 1686 ; "May
10, 1686, commission was issued to Joan Caesar, al[ia]s Lovelace,
wife of Robert Caesar, sister of Dudley Lovelace, late of London,
but dying at Newington Butts, co. Surry, to administer the goods,
etc. of the said deceased, Mary Lovelace, his relict, renouncing"
(Prerogative Court of Canterbury Administrations; 1686). It is
stated by Berry (Genealogies; Kent; pp. 474-5), and Pearman
(Archaeologia Cantiana; x; p. 208), that Dudley Lovelace married
his cousin Mary Lovelace, and that they had a daughter, whose
burial is recorded at St. Margaret's, Canterbury, 23 June, 1678-9.
While it is possible that this statement as to the identity of Dudley's
wife Mary may be true, the writer believes that an error has been
made, based upon a misinterpretation of the following marriage
license: Dueley Lovelace of Cant[erbury] g[entleman] ba[chelor]
35 and Mary Lovelace s. p. spr[spinster] 20; at St. M. Bredin Cant
f erbury] Apr. 20, 1678," with a note by her father "I am consenting
Will: Lovelace" (Cowper's Canterbury Marriage Licenses; Ser. iv;
p. 370). It is obvious that if the age of "Duely" Lovelace given here
is correct, he cannot be identical with the subject of this sketch, at
this time 50 years old. There is also the possibility that the Francis
Lovelace who died in Maryland, in 1684, was a son of Dudley Love-
lace, and that Mary Duxbury, the niece of Thomas Lovelace who in-
herited the latter's Staten Island Plantation, was Dudley's daughter.

The ostensible entente cordiale between Great Britain and the
United Netherlands following the Treaty of Breda, 1667, by which,
inter alia, the Dutch West India Company had given up New Nether-
land in America, lost to the English three years earlier, came to an
end when Charles II of England, joined Louis XIV of France, in
a compact to quell "the presumptuous arrogancy" of the Hollanders,
and on March 17, 1672, declared war against the Low Countries.^

While the Dutch navy gloriously maintained the honor of the
flag in European waters, the States General did not fail to send a
fleet to the American coast under the command of two well-known
officers, Jacob Binkes and Cornelius Evertsen (Keesje de Duivel),
assisted by Anthony Colve and two other captains of the Dutch
army, with orders to harrass the enemy in the West Indies and to
destroy, as far as possible, English and French trade. Elated with
the success of their expedition in that quarter, the commanders de-
cided to extend their operations to New York, and demand the
surrender of Fort James on Manhattan.^
On Aug. 7, 1673, the great fleet of twenty-three splendid Dutch
vessels, having on board 1,600 soldiers of the Republic, arrived off
Sandy Hook. English commissioners were dispatched to demand
why the squadron had come "in such hostile manner to disturb His
Majesty's subjects in this place," to which the Dutch commanders
replied that they had come simply to take the place, "which was their
ovra, and their own they would have." In the meanwhile, the fleet
quietly tided up New York Bay and anchored within gun-shot of
the fort, and after further negotiations, at the expiration of a speci-
fied half-hour, the Dutch warships opened fire. Captain Colve
landed with 600 men at "the new burial-place" on the shore of the
Hudson, just north of the fort, back of the present Trinity Church,
and marched down Broadway. But, before he could arrive at the
fort, he was met with proposals for surrender on substantially the
same terms as those of 1664. The naval commanders now assumed
possession of the reconquered territory in the name of the States
General of the Dutch Republic, and proceeded to rechristen the
province New Netherland ; the town New York was named New
Orange, not New Amsterdam, as might have been expected, and the
fort, Willem Hendrik, in honor of the stadholder of the Netherlands,
the Prince of Orange, who later became King William III of Eng-
land.^
On Aug. I2th, they commissioned Capt. Colve "to be Governor-
General of this Country and Forts thereunto belonging, with all the
appendencies and dependencies thereof, to govern, rule and pro-
tect them from all invasions of enemies, as he, to the best of his
ability, shall judge most necessary." Nicholas Bayard, the exper-
ienced clerk of the city, they appointed to act as their own secretary
and as secretary and register of the province under Colve, who at
once set himself about reinstating the Dutch government.
On Sept. 1st, Governor Colve and the commanders Binkes and
Evertsen, sitting in council, gave audience to a number of delegates
from Albany, who presented certain requests "for the maintenance
and preservation of the rights of the village of Beverviryck and Fort
Orange." The council ordered that Fort Albany (Orange) should
"be called Fort Nassau, and the village of Beverv^ryck, Willem-

stadt; that the commandant of Fort Nassau should protect the Re-
formed Christian religion; that the magistrates should be persons
belonging to, or, at least, well affected toward the Reformed Church,
and that the petitioners should enjoy the same privileges as they did
in the time of the former Dutch government. Jeremias van Rensse-
laer was granted the same immunities for a year as had been pre-
viously granted him as director of the colony of Rensselaersviryck ;
meanwhile, he was to obtain another confirmation of the rights of
the patroon from the States General."
On Sept. 26th, the Governor appointed "Lieutenant Andries
Draeyer," commander of Fort Nassau, and "schout" (sheriff) of
the town of Willemstadt and the colony of Rensselaerswyck.*
Recalling the official report of Marcus Gjoe, the Dano-Nor-
wegian ambassador to the Dutch government at The Hague, to his
government in Copenhagen, three years earlier, to the effect that
"there was a great number of the king's subjects in the Dutch serv-
ice, most of whom were Norwegians, but almost all of whom were
common marines or officers in the lowest positions, for the Holland-
ers were too 'jaloux' to make them lieutenants or captains,"" it is
of great interest to note that the new commander at Fort Nassau
owed allegiance to the King of Denmark and Norway.
In the early part of the seventeenth century, young men from
these countries, in search of new opportunities to better their con-
dition, had migrated in large numbers to the Netherlands; at times
and in some districts, so many left their homes that it amounted to
a veritable exodus. In the Dutch war with England in the time of
Cromwell, 1652-54, the States General had enlisted such a number
of sailors from the Norwegian seacoast districts that England's
jealousy was aroused. Also in the Dutch merchant marine these
Northern seamen found a new field of adventure and profitable em-
ployment, and under the flag of the Batavian Republic they tooiic part
in voyages to distant lands, "fran Nova Zemblas fjall till Ceylon's
brand a dalar," "from Greenland's icy mountains to India's coral
strand whcrcuAfric's sunny fountains," to the East Indies, the
Brazils and America. This service, and especially the Great Dutch
naval wars, had been a severe school in which the Norse and the
Dane learned their seamanship, being such apt pupils that they
often surpassed their masters. Time and again their king would
summon his emigrated subjects to come back to his service, and
though some returned, by far the greater number settled perma-
nently in Holland and her colonies, or lost their lives fighting for
the Dutch colors.'
During the Scanian vrar, of which anon, these attempts were
repeated to induce the Norsemen and Danes in the Low Countries
to return home. From among those returning the officers for the

fleet were chosen, many of whom rendered great services to their
fatherland, the most prominent perhaps being Andreas Dreyer. His
subsequent career is registered in the annals of the Dano-Norwegian
navy, but as Scandinavian historians have till now been unapprised
as to his antecedent adventures in America,' I shall here quote a
few records, collected from the original sources relating to the his-
tory of the colonial period of our country, referring to Commander
Dreyer's short term of office at Fort Nassau.
On September 26th, Governor Colve issued the following "In-
struction for Andries Draeyer, Commander and Schout" :
1. The pure, true Christian Religion, agreeably to the
Synod of Dort, shall be taught and maintained in all things
as it ought, without suffering any the slightest attempt to be
made against it by any other sectaries.
2. He is earnestly recommended to keep his men in good
order, and to be punctually all night within the Fort.
3. He shall do everything in his power to entertain good
corresf)ondence with the Commissioners at Willemstadt.
4. He shall, as much as possible, keep the Natives and
Indians devoted to him, and according to his ability, render the
Dutch government agreeable to them, and obtain from them all
the information he can respecting the trade and doings of the
French, and prevent all correspondence they may carry on with
the inhabitants of Willemstadt.
5. In issuing the rations he shall regulate himself by the
following: For each man, a week, 6 lbs. of beef or 3^4 lbs. of
pork; 6 lbs. of bread; J^ lb. of butter, or 2 stivers Hollands
instead, i skepel of peas a man, a month; in addition Yz bar-
rel of small beer for seven men.
6. In regard to the office of the Schout, he shall conduct
"limself therein according to the instruction which shall be sent
him to that effect.
7. Furthermore, he shall have to regulate himself agree-
ably to any additional orders and instructions which will be
transmitted to him from time to time.
8. He shall not fail on all occasions to report what passes
there, and when necessary to send a boat express for that
purpose.

A few days later, on Oct. 6th, the Governor sent these instruc-
tions to the Commander :
Mr. Andrew Draeyer.
I have duly received the nomination of the inhabitants of
Willemstadt, and have therefrom selected for Magistrates, as
will be seen by the minute inclosed ; and you are hereby author-
ized to install those magistrates into their respective offices,
and to administer the oath to them. This further covers the
inclosed instruction whereby you are henceforth to regulate
yourself in the issuing of provisions to the military.

6 lbs. of bread ; Yz lb. of butter or the value thereof, 2 stivers

therefore have I thought proper to commission and quality, as
I do hereby commission and qualify, Andrew Drayer, Com-
mander of Fort Nassau, to be Schout over the said Town of
Willemstadt and Colonie Rensselaerswyck ; and further have I
from the nomination exhibited by the inhabitants of Willem-

And further, on the election made by Sieur Jeremias van

And finally, for Secretary of said Court, Johannes Pro-
voost, and the inhabitants are well and strictly ordered and
commanded the said persons in their respective offices to honor,
respect and obey as loyal subjects are bound to do ; for such I
find to be for the good of the said Town and Colonic.
As above.*
The United Netherlands being at war with France, New France
was now hostile to New Netherland, and Commander Dreyer was
"by letter written to and ordered to put a stop to all correspondence
with the Jesuits (Jusuyt) and Frenchmen from Canada, whether
runaways or others." On Nov. 29th, he was further "written to and
instructed to keep his men in good order and discipline, and not to
allow them without proper consent to leave the Fort or to lodge out ;
also, according to previous advices,i not to confide in any French
from Canada, to break ofif all correspondence with the Jesuit, but to
excuse himself in a courteous manner."" The savages declared them-
selves the friends of the Dutch, and the Jesuit missionaries were
apprehensive of being driven away. Several emissaries were sent
by Dryer to engage the Iroquois against the French, and some
Mohawk sachems visited him at Fort Nassau and proclaimed that
they would "side with the Dutch, and live and die with them."^"
On the following New Year's day. Governor Colve wrote "to
the Magistrates of Schenectada" :
Good Friends.
The Magistrates of Willemstadt have complained to me,
that you have not evinced towards them that respect which is
due to them ; you are, therefore ordered, being an inferior court
to that of Willemstadt, to avoid such conduct in the future. It
is also complained that you pretend to the privilege of the In-
dian trade, which, it is alleged, has been always prohibited to
you ; the privilege granted you by the Commanders extends only

Anglo-Saxon or the Latin on the continent was an open question. The geo-
graphical position of Albany made it a point of exposure where the balance
hung in vibration. The little frontier town was the rendezvous of person-
ages and the scene of events, which in large measure determined the issue. To
a considerable degree the issue depended upon the powerful tribes of the

On Jan. 23rd (O. S. 17), Commander Dreyer was married by
Domine Gideon Schaets in the Dutch church to Gerritje Goosens
van Schaick, a daughter of Goosen Gerritsen van Schaick, brewer
and trader, one of the earliest settlers at Fort Orange and Bever-
wyck, magistrate for a number of terms, lieutenant troop of horse,
later captain, a man of influence and repute in the little village.*^ In
the accounts of Deacon Reyersen in the records of the Reformed
Protestant Dutch Church of Albany, is found this entry for the
day: "Op dijnstag dat de Commandeur getrout ijs, ijn de kerck
versamelt en op de brolft {i. e. bruiloft) 9:2." This item also
establishes the fact that the Commander was married on a Tues-
day, and that at the wedding and nuptial feast nine gilders and two
stivers were collected for the poor.^^
The last record we have of the Commander in the old New
York colonial documents is the following letter:
Lieutenant Andries Drayer,
Sir,
The Governor received yesterday by express a letter, but
without any signature, date or place where written, and as his
Honor hath not yet received the Commissioners' letter whereof
you make mention, he hath therefore instructed me to notify
you, that he postpones his answer until that time, and in the
meanwhile is regulating himself according to the annexed letter
of the 5th inst. Further, this serves for advice that, by express
this day, information was received from New England, that
peace had been concluded between Holland and England on the
igth of February last and proclaimed on the 28th following,
which is believed at present, but the confirmation by the next.

The treaty of Westminster, Feb., 1674, provided for the restora-
tion by England and Holland of all lands captured during the war,
and on Oct. 15th orders reached Governor Colve to give up New
Netherland. On Nov. loth the Governor surrendered the province
to his successor, Major Edmund Andros, on behalf of His Britannic
Majesty. A proclamation was immediately issued, charging all per-
sons to be peacable. Ensign Cjesar Knapton was ordered to go to
Willemstadt with Sergeant Thomas Sharpe and eighteen men to
receive the surrender of Fort Nassau from Commander Dreyer,
who was also replaced by Michael Siston as sheriff at Albany and
Rensselaerswyck.^'^
Divested of his recent American dignities, but with no loss to
his character, Lieutenant Dreyer, with Captain Colve and the other
officers in the Dutch service, now returned to the Netherlands.
In the meantime, through the disgraceful subsidiary convention
which reduced Sweden to a "merccnarius Galliae." concluded by the
council of regency, April, 1672, at the instigation of M. G. de la
Gardie, Chancellor of State, Louis XIV had secured the support of
King Charles XI, and when, in Dec, 1674, the young monarch of
Sweden joined the enemies of the Batavian Republic, King Christian
V of Denmark and Norway was, by treaties, pledged to intervene as
a belligerent. Hoping at the same time to regain the old Danish
provinces east of the Sound, lost to Sweden by the treaty of Roskilde,
1658, he, after some delay, due mainly to the cautious policy of
Chancellor Griffenfeld, opening the hostilities on Aug. 12, 1675,
began the contest known in the chronicles of the North as the
Scanian War.'^"

time in this war in which it was to act such a glorious part; and
Andreas Dreyer, with numerous others of the King's subjects,
obeyed his summons and left Holland in order to serve the father-
land. Appointed a lieutenant in the navy, he was, on March 23,
1676, promoted to captain and chief of the line-of-battle ship
Christiania, carrying 54 gxms, with which he assisted in the con-
quest of Gotland, April 29th, and in the great battle ofif "Oland
under Cornelius Tromp, June i, 1676." This defeat so crippled the
Swedish fleet that the descent on Scania, later in the same month,
could be undertaken without serious opposition. Dreyer was the
first one to step ashore, and he took an active part in the victory of
Ystad, June 27th.

Enigheden, carrying 260 men and 62 guns, he joined Niels Juel in the
battle of Kolberger Roads, June i, 1677, where the Goteborg squad-
ron of the Swedish navy under Admiral Sjoblad, trvdng to enter
the Baltic through Storebelt, was completely defeated, losing four
larger and three smaller men-of-war, the few ships that escaped
being badly damaged, and the admiral himself taken prisoner.
Dreyer succeeded in bringing up IVrangells Pallats and compelled
Captain Banchert to strike colors. The action of renown in North-
ern history as "Sjoslaget vcd Rostock" and "Slaget under M'den,"
was only a prelude to a larger contest wherein the dominion of the
Baltic should be the stake. This took place a month later, when in
the famous battle of Kjoge Bay, Niels Juel with 25 ships of the
line and 1,267 gu"s, routed the Swedish admiral Evert Horn, with
36 ships of the line and 1.800 guns. As second to Juel, Dreyer
again distinguished himself and conquered another ship, Svenska
Leyonet.
"Aldrig har stoltere Scjer vcrret vundet," says a Danish his-
torian;" the Swedish cyclopedia, not quite so sweeping, calls it
"den stoltaste soger sotn danska flottan ndgonsinn vminit:"^'
The exultation in Denmark was general, the name of the gallant
Juel was on the lips of everybody, he was made lieutenant-admiral-
general and privy councillor. A numberof medals were made, one of
an exceptional size, in commemoration of the triumph, all flagmen
and chiefs who partook in the battle being honored with a gold
medal, while the subalterns received one in silver to carry as a
badge of honor. It is extolled in the national song of Denmark
(translated by Longfellow) :
Niels Juel gave heed to the tempest's roar.
Now is the hour!
He hoisted his blood-red flag once more.
And smote upon the foe full sore.
And shouted loud, through the tempest's roar,
"Now is the hour !"

"Fly!" shouted they, "for shelter fly!
Of Denmark's Juel who can defy
The power ?"
With the same intrepedity he had already evinced twice this year,
Captain Dreyer, in command of the frigates Hummcren and Sprag-
lede Falk, supported Vice-Admiral Peder Jensen Morsing in the
charge of Vestervik, SmSland, in the fall. Continuing as chief on
the Enighcden, he had more chances to distinguish himself in the
following year by the conquest of some Swedish men-of-war. In
the beginning of July, 1679, he took a full share under the com-
mand of Niels Juel in the blockade of Ivalmar, where he, on July
2nd, anticipating Hobson, sank his old ship in the southern entrance
of the sound, in order to obstruct the escape of the enemy, execut-
ing the feat under a sanguinary combat. For this heroic deed, to-
gether with his former exploits, he was on the recommendation of
Juel, promoted a schoufbynaclit, or rear-admiral.
By this time the belligerent powers had tired of the war. The
Netherlands, Spain and the Emperor concluded peace with France
at Nijmegen, 1678, and when finally Brandenburg was granted
peace in June, 1679, Denmark-Norway, left by all former allies,
stood alone against Sweden and her mighty protector, the King of
France, and at the peace of Fontainebleau, Sept. 2, 1679, the United
Kingdoms were compelled to make full restitution to Sweden, the
treaty between the Northern powers being signed at Lund, Oct. 7th,
"En bland de mdrkv'drdigaste Svcr'ujc nagonsinn ingatt."^^ "Sjaldent
er en Krig fort mcd storre JEre og ringer e Fordel end den Skaanske,"
according to a Danish authority.^" Freely Denmark and Norway had
spent their blood and their treasure, only to emerge from the five
years' contest exhausted and empty handed.
The inevitable result had happened as Griffenfeld had presaged ;
foreign: powers had taken advantage of the mutual jealousy between
Denmark-Norway and Sweden, involving them in a war for objects
of no concern whatever to the Scandinavian kingdoms, and their
statesmen saw clearly that more wars of this kind would only weaken
their position and would end in making them easy spoils for their
greedy neighbors. As the great Swedish statesman and patriot,
Baron Johan Gyllenstierna, the antagonist of De la Gardie. said:
"If the rulers of Sweden and Denmark worked together in good
common understanding, they would not as now need to serve as
lackevs of the great powers. Then the commerce of the Baltic
would depend on the crowns of the Northern kingdoms alone, and
each for the other could then force her enemies to reason, the King
of Denmark his German adversaries, and Sweden the Muscovite."
The conception of an approchmcnt to Sweden had not been alien
to Dano-Norwegian statecraft. There are in the activities of both
Hannibal Sehested. the vice-regent of Norway, and Griffienfeld,

strong endeavors in this direction, and especially the former had,
in his well-known testament, which evinces the mind of the far-
sighted and miprejudiced statesman, maintained energetically that
peace and alliance with Sweden would lead to progress and pros-
perity for all three kingdoms, while mutual enmity would benefit
foreign powers alone.
So, when peace was signed at Lund, the treaty contained a
compact of alliance for ten years between the Northern kingdoms
and thereby gained its real significance. This agreement was the
beginning of a Scandinavian policy, the fundamental idea of which
was the establishment of the closest possible relations of confidence
between the three peoples of the North, for a comjnon defence and
a common fight against the powers whose plans seemed to imply
a danger to Scandinavian interests. Christian V, in December, gave
strict orders to all his representatives at the foreign courts that, on
account of the alliance with Sweden, they should support the Swed-
ish envoys, and that they should mutually communicate to each other
anything that might serve the interests of their sovereigns and might
ward off mischief. As a further proof of the good-will established,
Charles XI married the Dano-Norwegian princess, Ulrika Eleonora,
whose gentle influence and constant endeavor to maintain friendly
relations between the Northern kingdoms made her subjects regard
her as a second "Fredkulla."
This practical Scandinavianism was the work of Gyllenstienra,
who also originated the Northern monetary convention at Copen-
hagen, 1680, and at his death, this "Scandinavian policy" lost its
motive power. But the contract of 1679 was not without conse-
quences ; based upon an idea both obvious and equitable, its fruition
was the great armed neutrality at the end of the seventeenth and the
latter half of the eighteenth century, and now during the present
war, the good understanding and harmonious co-operation has ex-
panded to a degree that seems about to inaugurate a new era in the
history of the Scandinavian North, to the genuine satisfaction of all
her lovers.^ ^
Returning to the subject of discussion, after a digression which
comes natural and may seem permissible to a Scandinavian-Ameri-
can in critical times like ours, there remains little to be told. It is
to be regretted that the political views of Rear-Admiral Dreyer are
not on record. After the war, he had several charges as com-
2^ "The future of Scandinavia and the Baltic must depend on the outcome
of the war. If indeed Germany were to emerge victorious, then all the evils
on which the pessimists delight to ponder would come to pass. A triumphant
Germany would not only keep the Baltic provinces of Russia and Finland, but
would reduce Sweden, Denmark and Norway to tributary provinces. That
must be as clear as the sun at noon to them as to us. The Baltic would be
a German lake, and its commerce would be a German monopoly. Swedes and
Danes and Norwegians would gradually be converted by Prussian schoolmas-
ters and Prussian police into docile Germans, and their distinctive civiliza-
tions and literatures would disappear. Such is the prospect if the Allies
were to fail in their task. But, fortunately for Scandinavia and for the
rest of the world, the Allies will not fail." — Washington Star, Oct. 22, 1918
(from the London Spectator).

mander of convoys, etc. In Oct., 1683, he was president of the
Admiralty Court.-- He died in 1686, the father of three daughters
and three sons, one of whom, Andreas, born 1675, became an officer
in the navy, being appointed a second-lieutenant Dec. 28, 1695, pre-
mier-lieutenant Dec. 31, 1697.
Sometime later, the widow and the surviving children left Den-
mark for America, and on March 2, 1699, with a certificate {met
attestatie) from Copenhagen, she joined the Dutch church in New
York; her name is recorded, "Juffr Gerritje Van Schaick, Wede van
de Hr Andries Draeyer Rear Admiral of the King's fleet of Den-
mark and Norway.^'' The same day "Capt. Andries Draeyer, /. m."
joined with a certificate from the same place. He departed for
Denmark, April 29, 1700, his appointment as captain-lieutenant be-
ing dated Jan. ist, the same year. Jan. 12, 1704, he was promoted
captain, and he died in 1708.^*
A daughter, "Johanna (or Anna) Dorothea Dreyer, /. d.," joined
the Dutch church "upon confession of faith and belief," Feb. 28,
1700. In 1708, she was married to Rev. Thomas Barclay, first
rector of St. Peter's Church, at Albany. They had four sons :
Thomas (died unmarried), Henry Barclay, the second rector of
Trinity Church, New York, married Mary Rutgers ; Andrew Bar-
clay, "an eminent merchant, a most worthy and exemplary citizen,"
married Helena Roosevelt ; John Barclay, mayor of the city of
Albany, married Gerritje Coeymans, and later Mary Ten Eyck.-^
The American line of descent from Rear-Admiral Dreyer,
through these three sons of his daughter, is rather generally known.

service); and in a foot-note: "Andries Drier's (or Druyer') mother was a
direct descendant of the celebrated Admiral Ivel, who was to the Danish peo-
ple what George Washington was to the United States. This Admiral Ivel
conquered the Swedes, and for this he was presented with a famous medal,
which is now in the possession of Mrs. de Lancey H. Barclay, of Balti-
more." The statement compels no comment. The medal given to Niels Juel
is now in the National Museum at Copenhagen. A complete description of
this and the other medals struck in honor of the triumph in Kjoge Bay is

In the Riverside Cemetery, at Middletown, there stands a stone
thus inscribed : "Here lies interred the body of Mary, the virtuous
consort of Jabez HamHn, Esq., and daughter of Qiristopher Chris-

The family legend runs that Mary* Christophers sailed from
New London to New Haven, to attend the Yale commencement exer-
cises, and that Jabez Hamlin, then a senior at Yale, saw her ap-
proach the landing on ship board through a telescope, and then and
there selected her, she being dressed in blue, as his partner for the
commencement ball, his desire was accomplished and the friendship
ripened into love and she became his wife until death claimed her

Yale College; and in April, 1743, he was arrested and fined for
participation in the famous burning of heretical books and vain
apparel instigated by the fanatical James Davenport, of Yale Col-
lege, Qass of 1732. He made his will Oct. 21, 1775, which was
proved Feb. 13, 1776, and in it he mentions his four children, Sarah,
Joseph, Elizabeth and Allan. He also mentions his loving wife
Elizabeth, and makes her his executrix and his son Joseph his
executor. The mention of his wife Elizabeth is unexplainable as
she is recorded as having died Jan. 4, 1765 — over 10 years previous
to date of Christopher* Christophers' will and her gravestone so
records the date of her death. It can only be explained by the
hypothesis that he married a second time to another Elizabeth, but
the town records and family legend give no hint of this second mar-
riage. It is possible also that the date of death of Elizabeth (Allen)
Christophers has been incorrectly copied in Prentis' Graveyard In-
scriptions of the Old Burying Ground, New London, p. 16. If
the record reallv read died "Jan'y ye 14th A. D. 1785, aged 58 years,
1920.] Christophers Family. 211'
I month and 3 days" (and it is possible that such was the original
reading as in time worn lettering an 8 can easily be taken for a 6, and
a 5 for a 3), if such was the original reading she would have been
alive at her husband's death and would have been properly men-
tioned in his will.
Some authorities ascribe to Christopher* Christophers a son
Peter, whom they say died Feb. 19, 1829, aged 31. They are in
error.

Capt. John Prentis was a famous sea captain. In the expedition
against Louisburg, Cape Breton, in 1744, the Connecticut troops
numbering 500 were ordered to New London to embark, and the
sloop of war Defence commanded by Capt. John Prentis was
equipped and sailed as a convoy with the transports. His commis-
sion as a Captain in the naval forces was dated March 19, 1744.
The fleet sailed from New London, April 13, 1744, consisting of the
colonial sloops Connecticut, Rhode Island, Defence and other
schooners and brigs. The Defence also carried Col. Roger Wolcott,
the commander-in-chief of the land forces and 100 men, and as a
part of the naval fleet had a share in the capture of rich prizes. Two
years later, in 1746, Captain Prentis, in company with Mr. James
Bowdoin, of Boston, went to London, Ehg., to urge the claims of
the Provincial seamen to a share of the prize money which was with-
held by Admiral Warren. The Admiralty allowed the claim and
placed the British and Provincial seamen on the same footing. Cap-
tain Prentis, while awaiting the decision of the Court, made an ex-
cursion into Cornwall to visit Lord Edgecombe, of Mt. Edgecombe,
being invited there to partake of the Giristmas festivities. Whilst
absent on this tour he took the smallpox, of which disease he died
in London, Eng., Jan. (or June), — , 1746, aged 41 years. His
estate in New London was appraised at £7.6^0, a large sum for
those days. It was on this cruise that Whitfield blessed the banner
of the expedition and gave it the motto: ''Nil desperandum, Christo
214 Christophers Family. IJuly
duce." He wished the expedition to be considered a crusade (Pren-
tis Genealogy, 2nd edition).

John Shackmaple, Senior, an Englishman, was commissioned by
Surveyor General Robert Quarry, to be collector, surveyor and
searcher for Connecticut. He was confirmed in office by a new com-
mission issued May 3, 1718, by the Lords Commissioners of Trade
and Plantations. His district included Connecticut, Fisher's Island,
Gardiner's Island and the east end of Long Island. The office of
Surveyor and Searcher was afterward separated from that of Col-
lector and the appointment given to John Shackmaple, Jr., in 1728,
by James Stevens, the then Surveyor General. John Shackmaple,
Senior, died March 31, 1730-1. His son succeeded him as collector
and the office of Surveyor was given to Richard Durfee, of New-
port. John Shackmaple, Jr., was on the committee to purchase site
for the P. E. Church at New London.

was buried there in the Second Burying Ground, whence his re-
mains were removed to Cedar Grove Cemetery and re-interred in
the Allen lot subsequent to April 4, 1853. He was a' son of Nathan-
iel Allen (b. London, Eng., , 1699; d. Nov. i, 1770, at Shrews-
bury, Mass.; m. , 1726-7, at London, Eng.), and his second
wife Dorcas Bowes (b. ?; d. April — , 1779, at Leicester,
Mass.), who resided in London, Eng., until 1734, when he came
over to Boston, Mass., where he was a merchant. He removed to
Shrewsbury, Mass., in 1757, where he bought a farm. In early life
he commanded a packet-ship plying between London, Eng., and
Boston, Mass.
Thomas Allen lived in London, Eng., until 1734. He came
over to Boston in 1734, and lived there until 1749; after that time
until 1752, he was in the Island of Madeira for awhile and finally
settled in New London, Conn. In 1749, he was spoken of as a
shof)-keeper associated with his father in Boston. While in Madeira
he is said to have made a large fortune. When he returned to this
country and settled in New London, he was a merchant near Ferry
Wharf. In 1770, he commenced the first Marine List in New Lon-
2l8 Christophers Family. [July
don, and continued publishing it until his death. He was also en-
gaged in commerce and owned sixteen sail vessels. He was voted
into the Boston Marine Society, as a Marine Member, March 4,
1760, and paid i\, \o^^ for his certificate of membership. In the
Annals of St. James (P. E.) Church, New London, by Rev. Robert
A. Hallam, D.D., he is spoken of as a man of substance and extensive
business, and for a long time a foremost man in the Episcopal
Church, of which Church he was a Warden for 10 years. Hemp-
stead's Diary, p. 634, under date of Saturday, July 27, 1754, states:
"An infant still born, of the body of the widow Eliza Shackmapie,
alias (it is hoped) the wife of Thomas Allin. a bankrupt and gone
off to the West Indies, was buried in ye evening." Under date of
Aug. 23, 1758, he states: "I was most of the day laying out Beach
for Thomas Allin and John Shackmaple's heirs, with Justice Rich-
ards, Justice Coit and Deacon Fosdyck."
Caulkin's History of New London, pp. 578-9, states: "Allen's
Marine List was esteemed a valuable appendage to Greene's news-
paper. He enlivened the dull record of entries and clearances with
maxims, witticisms and sudden insertions of extraneous matter
which were often grotesque and amusing. The list commenced in
1770. During the Revolutionary War, he [Thomas Allen] kept a
public house on Main Street, which was reopened as the City Coffee
House, and the marine list renewed Jan. i, 1785. This house was
regarded as the center of good living and convivial brotherhood-
Here was to be heard the latest news, the freshest anecdote, the
keenest repartee : here was served up the earliest and best game of
the season, the January salmon, the eighteen pound black fish, trout,
woodcock and wild duck, in advance of every other table. It was
much then in vogue for gentlemen of the town to dine together in
clubs. The following advertisement from Greene's Gazette gives
notice of the re-opening of the City Coffee House: 'City Cofifee
House reopened by Thomas Allen, next door to Captain Joseph
Packwood's, where can be had drink for the thirsty, food for the
hungry, lodging for the weary, good stabling for horses. Said Allen
has also in supply of choice Madeira Lisbon and Port wines for
the benefit of the sick and weakly, and good horses to let to mer-
ciful riders.' "

54. Mary* Christophers (Hon. Capt. Richard,^ Hon. Richard,'
Hon. Christopher^), b. Dec. 17, 1716; bap. Dec. 30, 1716, at
New London, Conn.; d. Oct. 9 (or 10), 1755, at New London,
and was there buried in Old Burying Ground, gravestone. Her
gravestone is recorded in Prentis' Graveyard Inscriptions of
New London, as being thus inscribed, p. 36: "In memory of
Mrs. Mary Coit, wife of Capt. Nathaniel Coit, who departed
this life October ye loth 1735, in ye 30th year of her age."
The year date of her death should be 1755, as it is distinctly
recorded in Hempstead's Diary, p. 657, and the day of the
month was either Oct. 9th (or loth), as under date of Oct.
loth, 1755, Hempstead in his diary states tliat she died last
night. The inscription as recorded and printed by Prentis is
again in error, as she was, at the time of her death, in her 40th
year, and not in her yith year as printed. Chapman's Coit
Genealogy, p. 39, states : "The date of her death is not known."
I presume that the inaccuracy of the tombstone inscription gave
rise to Chapman's doubt on the subject. Nevertheless, Hemp-
stead distinctly records it as above Oct. g (or 10), 1755.
The Chronicles of a Connecticut Farm, on chart, between pp.
84-5, states that Mary* Christophers, No. 54, m. only twice, — first
to Captain John Braddick and secondly to Nathaniel Coit. The
Coit Genealogy mentions her only as the widow of Captain John
Braddick. In disagreement with this. Hempstead's Diary, p. 657,
under date of Oct. 10, 1755, states: "Nathaniel Coit's wife died last
night, and buried in ye eve. She was lately delivered of a child and
had fever and canker. She rvas his second zvife and he her third
husband. She was a daughter of Richard Christophers, deceased,
the 2nd [i. e., the second of that name]."
If Hempstead is correct in his above quoted statement that
Nathaniel Coit was the third husband of Mary* Christophers, No.
54, the question arises as to who were her first and second husbands.
We know that John Braddick was her husband previous to her
marriage to Nathaniel Coit, and that she was the second wife of
the said John Braddick, whom she married some time after the death
of his first wife who was Lucretia^ Christophers, No. 25, who died
March 21, 1747-8; therefore at the time of her marriage to John
Braddick she was at least 31 years old (see her date of birth) which
age (31) was a late one in those days for a first marriage. These
facts renders in a measure probable that she (No. 34) may have
married previous to her marriage to John Braddick. If so, to
whom?
220 Christophers Family. [Ju'y
Miss Emma C. Brewster Jones, the author of the Brezvster
Genealogy, in her manuscript records, of the descendants of Elder
William Brewster in the female line (see manuscript collections of
the N. Y. Genealogical and Biographical Society), states in Book
No. 7 of these manuscripts that Mary* Christophers, No. 54, prob-
ably married Jeremiah Miller.
From the History of the First Church, New London, from
Hempstead's Diary and from Hedge's History of Easthampton,
L. I., N. Y., we gather than there were in New London from 171 1
to 1761, three of the name of Jeremiah Miller, viz. :
1. Jeremiah* Miller (son of Jeremiah^ and Mary (Mulford) Mil-
ler, of Easthampton, N. Y.), b. , 1690; d. March 15, 1756,
aged 66; m. March 2, 1717-18 (intention published New Lon-
don, Feb. 9, 1717-18), at New London, to Mary Saltonstall
(dau. of the Rev. Gov. Gurdon Saltonstall, of New London),
who was b. Feb. 15, 1691-2, at New London, and who d. Feb.
17, 1749, at New London. This Jeremiah* Miller graduated
1709 from Yale College and was a physician and school teacher
at New London, where he settled in 171 1. He m. 2nd, Anne
(Dudley) Winthrop (daughter of Joseph and Rebecca (Tying)
Dudley, of Roxbury, Mass., and widow of Major John Win-
throp, who d. in Sydenham, Eng., Aug. i. 1747.) She was
b. Aug. 27 and bap. Aug. 31, 1684 ; m. John Winthrop, Dec. 16,
1707. He had a son by his first marriage.
2. Jeremiah^ Miller, b. ; bap. New London, Aug. 23, 1719.
He was the Naval Officer of New London, and m. May 16,
1744, at New London, to Margaret Winthrop, bap. Jan. 16,
1718; d. , 1803 (dau. of John and Anne (Dudley) Win-
throp, of New London). They had a son.
3. Jeremiah" Miller, b. ; bap. New London, May 21, 1749.
On consideration of the above array of facts it is obvious that
the last Jeremiah" Miller, bap. May 21, 1749, could not have been
the first husband of Mary* Christophers, No. 54, for the reason that
he was 33 years younger than she was and also that she married
John Braddick as his second wife after March 21, 1747-8, and died
Oct. 9 (or 10), 1755, when this Jeremiah" Miller was only 6 years
old.

and by his wife Margaret Winthrop, who d. in 1803, had the fol-
lowing children as recorded in the History of the First Church, New
London, and in Hempstead's Diary, the entries reading as follows,
viz. :
1. John Still, bap. Aug. 2, 1746, son of Jeremiah Miller, Jr.
2. Mary, bap. Nov. i, 1747, dau. of Jeremiah Miller, Jr.
3. Jeremiah, bap. May 21, 1749, son of Jeremiah Miller, Jr.
4. Margareta, bap. June 10, 1750, dau. of Jeremiah Miller, Jr.
5. Ann, bap. Aug. 16, 1752, dau. of Jeremiah Miller, Jr.

6. Katharine, bap. April 3, 1757, dau. of Jeremiah Miller, Jr.
7. Elizabeth, bap. Feb. 26, 1758, dau. of Jeremiah and Margaretta
Miller.
8. Gurdon Jason, bap. April 3, 1763, son of Jeremiah and Mar-
garetta Miller.
From the above record of children we see that Jeremiah^ Mil-
ler's wife Margaret (Winthrop) Miller was alive up to 1803 and
bore him children as late as 1763 ; hence Mary* Christophers, No. 54,
could not have been the wife of this Jeremiah'* Miller.
Jeremiah* Miller, the progenitor of the New London Millers, m.
(i) Mary Saltonstall, who d. Feb. 17, 1749, and who was the mother
of all of his children. He m. (2) Anne (Dudley) Winthrop, widow
of John Winthrop (son of Wait Still Winthrop, of Boston), who d.
Aug. I, 1747, in Sydenham, England. This John Winthrop was the
father of Margaret Winthrop, who m. Jeremiah' Miller. Jeremiah*
Miller d. March 15, 1756; hence he m. Anne (Dudley) Winthrop as
his second wife between the years 1749 and 1756, and this, his sec-
ond wife and widow survived him and died in 1803. Hence it is
impossible for this Jeremiah* Miller to have been the first husband
of Mary* Christophers, No. 54.
These facts seem to disprove most positively Miss E. C. Brewster
Jones' suggestion of her probable marriage to a Jeremiah Miller.
If she did marry previous to her marriage to John Braddick, as
Hempstead states (p. 657), I have not been able to discover any
record of such marriage, nor have I unearthed any clue as to who
her first husband was, and I construct the record of her marriages
to be as follows :
Mary* Christophers m. (i) — , at , to ? (whose sur-
name, baptismal name and parentage have not as yet been de-
termined), b. , at ; d. (if he ever existed in the flesh
before her marriage to John Braddick, which took place subse-
quent to March 21, 1747-8, the date of death of John Braddick's
first wife and prior to Jan. 12, 1 752-3, the date of John Braddick's
death, at .
Children: ? ( ?) None that we have any record of.

March 21, 1747-8), at , to Captain John Braddick (as his 2nd
wife, whose first wife was Lucretia' Christophers, No. 25, who d.
March 21, 1747-8), b. , 1700, about, at Southold, N. Y. (prob-
ably) ; he was a sea captain and lived at Southold, N. Y., and later
at New London, Conn., where he was a vestryman and warden of
the Protestant Episcopal Church; he d. Jan. 12, 1752-3, of galloping
consumption, at New London, and was there buried, gravestone.

THE RICH FAMILY OF EASTERN CONNECTICUT.
Contributed by Edwin A. Hill.
This family is found on the east side of the Connecticut river
near Middletown in the early part of the i8th Century and all mem-
bers of it are descendants of William Brewster of the Mayflower;
very little has thus far appeared in print about them, and as my
official duties as Historian of the Connecticut Society of Mayflower
Descendants have required me to devote some time to an investi-
gation of existing records concerning them, I have concluded to
make my researches available to others. Mr. Norman F. Allen, of
Hartford, engaged James A. Kibbe to investigate this family for
him, and no trouble or expense was spared. My own investiga-
tions were separately conducted and all existing probate, church and
vital records were obtained. Mr. Allen kindly furnished me with
Mr. Kibbe's results, which agree entirely with my own. Mr. Kibbe
is a reliable genealogist, and is well known by his work in connec-
tion with Allen's History of Enfield, Conn.
I. Thomas* Rich and Mercy" Knowles, were married at East-
ham, Mass., July 23, 1702, and the births of their children as
given below (with the exception of Cornelius, Ruth and Re-
becca) are there recorded {Mayflozver Descendant, Vol. VII,
p. 236). The wife Mercy, ° was the daughter of Samuel and
Mercy* (Freeman) Knowles; John and Mercy^ (Prence) Free-
man; Thomas and Patience" (Brewster) Prence; William"^
Brewster. {Brewster Gen., Vol. I, pp. 21, 22, 23; Freetnan
Genealogy, pp. 27, 28, 41).
Four of the sons of Thomas* Rich moved to Middlesex County,
Connecticut, viz. : Thomas,^ David, ° John' and Cornelius,' and set-
tled at Middle Haddam; David' later removing to Wallingford.
(Beers' Hist. Middlesex Co., p. 211.) Beers states that Thomas,
David and John were brothers, and that they were sons of Richard
and Mercy (Knowles) Rich, and descendants of Samuel Rich, who
died at Eastham, about 1665, but is silent as to the relationship of
Cornelius to the other three. The records cited, however, prove the
father of these brothers to have been Thomas and not Richard ; and
in his will, Thomas, of Eastham, names his son Cornelius, who was
probably the elder brother, as Executor. The will also names sons
Thomas, Joseph, David, John and Samuel, the heirs of his de-
ceased son James, and daughters Mercy Shaw, heirs of his daughter
Sarah Shaw, and daughters Thankful, Rebecca and Ruth Rich. The
will is dated Sept. 23, 1743, proved Nov. 6, 1753, and recorded in
Vol. 9, p. 73, of Barnstable Co., Mass., Probate Records. He was
then of "Eastham," and mention is also made of his wife "Marcy."
The work Truro. Cape Cod, Etc.. by Shebnah Rich, at p. 554,
mentions Thomas' Rich (Richard,^ Richard^) as settling in Con-

necticut or New York, and being the founder of the family of that
name in New York. It would appear, however, that Thomas,^ who
married Thankful Mayo, was the one who removed to Connecticut,
and that Thomas,^ above referred to as son of Richard, was the one
who married Mercy Knowles.

there. He m. (2) at Eastham, April 13, 1727, Thankful Sears,
and had Elizabeth,* Mercy,* Bethiah* and Peter,* all born
there. Beers' History of Middlesex Co., p. 211, says he re-
moved from that part of Eastham, now known as Orleans, to
Middle Haddam, about 1738, and had baptized there children
Bathsheba,* Sarah,* Thomas,* and Eliakim.* He d. at Chatham,
Sept. 2, 1750, and on April 7, 1752, the widow Thankful was
appointed guardian to Peter,* aged 16, and Eliakim,* aged 5,
■w/hich agrees with the dates given below. The births of the

2 24 '^^' Rich Family of Eastern Connecticut. [July
6. David' Rich (Thomas*), b. at Eastham, Mass., March 17,
1710, removed to Walhngford, Conn., says Beers; but the
David Rich of that place on Oct. 8, 1724, signed a petition to
the General Court at New Haven, and Oct. 9, 1729, his w^ife was
one of the original members of Walhngford Church (see
Davis' History of Wallingford, Conn., pp. 127 and 213). At
these dates David, No. 6, was respectively only 14 and 19 years
old, raising a serious question of identity. Nothing more is
heard of him at Wallingford, but on page 625, of Vol. Ill,
Printed Probate Records of Hartford Co., is the will of David
Rich, of New Cambridge, in Farmington, dated Feb. 23, 1747-8,
mentioning wife Elizabeth, son Samuel, and other children not
specifically named. New Cambridge was the early name for
what is now Bristol, Conn., and in the Historical Catalogue, etc.,
Cong. Church of Bristol (Ed. 1875), p. 39, is given the death
of David Rich in 1748, aged 54, which would give his date of
birth as 1694, so that he could not have been the David Rich
(brother of John and Cornelius), born in 1710. He was, how-
ever, of about the right age to have been the David who disap-
pears from Wallingford records. I think it probable that he
was of the Eastham, Mass., family, but I have not been able
to place him.
The Census of 1790 (Connecticut), gives three Bristol families
of Rich, all probably descendants of David, viz.:
P. 34, Thaddeus Rich, 4 male children, under 16 and 3 females,
including head of family. The U. S. Pension Records, S 14307,
Connecticut, give Thaddeus Rich, applied July 26, 1832, then resid-
ing at Cheshire, Conn., born at Cambridge (Bristol), Conn., July 27,
1759, was residing at Bristol, at enlistment, which was at Farming-
ton, May, 1776, in Capt. Morton's Company of Col. Mott's regiment.
P. 35, Census Report of 1790, gives Wlliam Rich, of Bristol, 3
male children under #6 and 5 females. Also John Rich, of Bristol, i
male child under 16 and 3 females.
The following from the 1875 Catalogue of Bristol Church refer
to this family:
Sally Rich, wife of Thaddeus, d. 181 1, ae. 53, p. 45.
Abigail, wife of William Rich, d. 1828, ae. 68, p. 48.

dates of whose births, as given below, are recorded in Vol. I,

II. Cornelius Rich (Thomas*), b. probably in Eastham, but his
birth record has not been found. He is named in his father's
will, and made its executor ; from which it has been assumed
that he was the eldest son, and if so, would have been born
prior to 1702. None of the births of his children have been
recorded, but a very careful and especial study of this family
was made by Mr. Kibbe, and his report to Mr. Allen is as fol-
lows:
"Cornelius Rich, son of Thomas Rich, ofl Eastham, Mass. .re-
moved to MiddletowTi, Conn, (east side of the Connecticut River),
and settled in that part which is now Chatham, Conn. Two brothers
of this Cornelius, namely Thomas° and John,^ had several years be-
fore Cornelius," settled in what is now Chatham, Conn. These three
Rich brothers were the ancestors of all the Riches ever fonnd in
Chatham, Conn. The only question is from which of the brothers
James Rich, Jr., is descended. The children of the two brothers,
Thomas' and John,' all appear in the records, and there is among
them no place for James Rich, Jr. Cornelius has not a child re-
corded in Eastham, Mass., nor Chatham, Conn., although it was well
known that he had at least six sons and possibly some daughters."
* * * (Mr. Kibbe then gives the data pertaining to children of
No. 2, Thomas' and No. 8, John,' and proceeds as follows: "The
foregoing shows that there was no James Rich in this family (No.
2, Thomas') * * * James* (son of No. 8, John'), b. Aug. 28,
1741, could not have been James Rich, Jr., who m. March 26, 1775,
Margery Butler, as found in records of Chatham, Conn. A man
less than thirty-four years of age does not often have a son old
enough to marry. Moreover, this James Rich, b. Aug. 28, 1741.
lived, married, had children (all recorded) in Chatham, Conn., where
he d. in mature life, and his record is well known. No room here
fori James, Jr., who m. March 26, 1775. So we must look for him
among the children of Cornelius Rich, the third and youngest
brother.
2 26 The Rich Family of Eastern Connecticut. [July
Why Cornelius Rich had no children recorded it is not possible
to say. But in a petition to the Governor and Council of Connecti-
cut, dated Aug. lo, 1779 (see Colonial Records of Connecticut for
this date), Cornelius Rich, of Chatham, Conn., states that three sons
of his had been killed in the Continental service, and that two more
were at that time in the Continental Army. Only one remained with
his father, and now he had been detailed to temporary service on
the coast. The father asked that his son be permitted to remain at
home. The Governor and Council ordered the proper officer to in-
vestigate, and if he found the facts to be as the father had stated, to
grant his request. So Cornelius Rich, of Chatham, had six sons, all
of whom were in Continental service.
A careful and exhaustive study covering years has convinced the
writer (Mr. Kibbe), that the following is the correct list of these
six sons of Cornelius Rich (Numbers added by Edwin A. Hill).
Children of Cornelius^ and Rhoda (Fish) Rich:
-{-30. Cornelius," lived to old age in Chatham (Middle Had-
dam).
31. Nathaniel," killed in the war, so reported.
32. John," killed at Norwalk, 1779, and so reported in the
returns.
33. Joseph," probably killed in the service.
-f-34. Lemuel," was finally placed in the invalid corps, and so
served to the end of the war ; m., and settled in Chatham,
Conn.
4-35. James," probably the one his father asked to be permitted
to stay at home.
This James was the James, Jr., of Chatham. The foregoing
shows that there is no place for him except this one in all the fami-
lies of the name in Chatham.
The land records indicate the same fact, for Samuel Wetmore,
in 1780, sold a lot of 22 acres, part to Cornelius Rich and part to
James Rich, all of Middletown, now Chatham. In 1782, Cornelius
Rich sold his part of this lot to his son Lemuel.
That James Rich, Jr., was son of Cornelius seems to be the
only possible conclusion, and here we place him where he certainly
belongs.
On this lot lived James Rich, Jr., and near by lived the father,
Cornelius, who sold his part of the lot to his son Lemuel Rich in
1782."
To Mr. Kibbe's foregoing account I may add the following with
the statement that I fully concur in his conclusions.
Beers' History of Middiesex Co., on p. 211, gives some little
account of this petition of Cornelius Rich. For full details of what
happened to John" Rich. No. 32, see Records State of Connecticut,
Vol. 2, p. 561, 1 778- 1 780, and for the petition of Cornelius'' Rich,
see p. 384, same volume. The marriage intentions of Cornelius^
Rich and Rhoda Fish, both of Eastham, Mass., were published May
9, 1747, and recorded in Eastham. The original record book being

of Eastham.
In addition to the sons mentioned above, Cornehus evidently had
daughters, for in the files of the Pension Bureau at Washington,
D. C., File B. L. M. 103-100, Connecticut, we find Nathaniel Rich
served under Col. Isaac Sherman — killed in battle — under 21 years
of age — unmarried, land granted to Rhody Rich, of Chatham, Conn.,
his only parent living in 1801, who had title prior to brothers and
sisters.

m. at Chatham, Conn., Sept. 25, 1749, Mary Brown (Bailey's Ct.
Mgs. Book 3, p. 75; Middletown Records, Vol. 2, p. 189). He
probably d. prior to 1752, at which time Daniel Smith, of Mid-

His mother Thankful was appointed his guardian April 7, 1752,
and on Nov. i, 1762, Lemuel Lee was appointed his guardian
(Md. Probate, Vol. i, p. 121, and Vol. 2, p. 63). In the Cen-

tribution of the estate of her father, John Rich, distributon was
made to John Goff and Mary his wife (Md. Probate Records,
Vol. 4, p. 306).
26. Samuel* Rich (John''), b. at Middle Haddam, April 22, 1747,
probably m. and had issue. In the U. S. Census of 1790, Con-
necticut, p. 81, we find at Chatham Samuel Rich, 2 males over
16, 2 males under 16 and 4 females. Bailey, Vol. 3, p. 80, gives
1920-] The Rich Family of Eastern Connecticut. 229
the marriage at Chatham, Jan. 10, 1782, of Samuel Rich and the
widow Mary Goff. Further light is thrown on this family by
the U. S. Pension records at VVashington, D. C, file S. 35626
Connecticut, where we learn as follows: Applied for pension
April 14, 1818, aged 72 yrs. (hence born about 1746-7). Resi-
dence, Chatham, Conn. Enlisted at Chatham, Jan. i, 1777,
private in Capt. Belcher's Company, Col. Jedediah Hunting-
ton's regiment. Discharged June 8, 1783, at West Point, N. Y.
Allowed 100 acres of land. Certificate 1686 issued June 30,
1818, for $8 per month from Apr. 14, 1818, under act of March
18, 1818. In 1820 resided at East Haddam, and stated that he
had no family residing with him.
27. JoHN^ Rich (John^), b. June 16, 1751, in Middle Haddam;
probably m., for we find on page 114 of East Hampton Church
records (printed) as follows :
Children (probably his) :
54. Infant' child, d. Feb. — , 1783.
55. Child,' ae. 3 mos., d. June , 1784.
38. IsA.'^c* Rich (John^), b. at Middle Haddam, March 15, 1756,
is without doubt the Isaac Rich mentioned on p. 82, U. S. Cen-
sus of 1790, East Haddam, credited with i male over 16, 4 males
under 16 and 3 females. The births and baptisms of the three
daughters and one of the sons, are as given below ; being all of
the children of Isaac found on record. His wife's name was
Mary, as shown by record of births of their children.

60 to 62. Three other sons mentioned in Census of 1790-
30. Cornelius" Rich, son of Cornelius'^ and Rhoda (Fish) Rich,
b. probably in Middle Haddam. The following records un-
doubtedly refer to him :
Cornelius Rich, d. at East Hampton (Chatham), Dec. 30, 1823,
ae. 80 yrs. (Cong. Ch. Record, p. 120). Hence b. about
1743-

Rich, Jr., head of family 2 white males including head. 16 yrs. old
and upwards and 3 white males under 16 also 3 females including
230 The Rich Family of Eastern Connecticut. [July
heads of families. This gives him 4 sons and two daughters. He
was one of the six sons who served in the Revolution.
Children of Cornelius* and Keziah ( ) Rich:

ton, Ch. Record, p. 114.
64. Cornelius,' Jr., who m. Nancy Campbell, of Lyme, April
4, 1804 (Cong. Church Record, E. Hampton, p. 109),
was probably his son.
34. Lemuel' Rich (Cornelius'^), b. probably at Middle Haddam,
Cong. Ch. Record, East Hampton, p. 106, gives Lemuel Rich
and Deborah Taylor, m. Dec. 4, 1788; and in the U. S. Census
of 1790, Connecticut, p. 81, his family consisted of i white male
and 2 white females. U. S. Pension files at Washington, D. C,
S 5994 Connecticut, give data as follows : Enlisted in Capt.
David Dorrance Company, Col. Isaac Sherman's regiment. Pen-
sioned for disability from 1789; married 1798 or 9 Sally Quin.
In 1823 resided at Bennington, Vt. Berkshire Co. Mass., in
1833; d. at Williamstown, Mass., Aug. 26, 1838, widow d. Oct.
27, 1840 leaving one child Nelson Rich of Williamstown in 1852.
Child of Lemuel* and Deborah (Taylor) Rich:
65. Nelson' Rich.
35. James* Rich (Cornelius^), see the very complete statement as
to his parentage by Mr. Kibbe (given under No. 1 1, Cornelius),
who supplied the following data to Mr. Norman F. Allen :
James Rich, Jr., was lost at sea. He m. at Chatham, Conn.,
26 March, 1775, Margery Butler, bap. in Middletown First
Cong. Church, Sept. 4, 1757. Recorded in first book of bap-
tisms now in custody of the Church Oerk. This marriage is
also recorded in Book I. p. 137, of Middletown records, and
Vol. 3, p. 79, of Bailey's Connecticut Marriages. Mr. Rich
was admitted to full communion in Congregational Church,
East Hampton (Chatham), Feb. 10. 1779. See p. 124 as printed.
The followng children are recorded to him at East Hampton.
Children of James* and Margery (Butler) Rich:
-|-66. Davis,' b. Nov. 24, 1775, Md. Record, Vol. I, p. 137.

36. Amos' Rich (Amos*), b. at Middle Haddam, Sept. 3, 1750
(Md. Record, Vol. 2, p. 189). Although there is a discrepancy
of between one and two years in birth date, I think the follow-
ing from U. S. Pension Records at Washington, refers to him.
S. 43936 Connecticut, Amos Rich applied for pension May 5,
I920.] The Rich Family of Eastern Connecticut. 2 3 1
1818, ae. 66 years ; then residing at Walton, Delaware Co.,
N. Y. Enlisted at Litchfield, Conn., Feb., 1781, Capt. David
Edgar, Col. Elisha Sheldon's 2d Continental Dragoons. Pre-
vious to 1818 he had resided in New Hampshire, Vermont, and
Rhode Island, serving at St. Johns, Battle of Bennington, and
in Rhode Island. No family data given. Rachel Rich, wife of
Amos Rich, was admitted to full communion in Middletown
Church (ist Cong.), Oct. 2, 1800. Again in Church Records
we have widow Rachel Rich, d. Mar. 13, 1834, aged 85, and
therefore b. about 1749.
Beers' History of Middlesex Co., p. 198, states that Martha,
daughter of Abel and Jemima (Brainerd) Abell, m. Amos Rich. As
Abel Abell was b. in 1757, and had eight children before Martha was
born, her birth was probably not earlier than about 1790, which
w-ould indicate that Amos" Rich had a son Amos,^ whose wife was
Martha.
Child of Amos' and Rachel ( ) Rich:
71. Amos* (probably), who m. Martha Abell, as above.
45. Harvey' Rich (Eliakim*), bap. Jan. 19, 1782, at Middletown,
Cong. Church; d. Jan. 21, 1844, aged 61. Middletown Church
Records, p. 39, gives marriage at Middletown, June 16, 1803,
of Harvey Rich and Ruby Johnson. No further records were
found.
47. John' Rich (Eliakim^), was. bap. at Middletown, Aug. 25,
1795, being then aged 6 years, and was, therefore, b. about
1790. The children recorded to John and Abigail Rich, pp. 100
and loi, Cong. Ch. Records East Hampton, were b. too early
to have been his children, and are probably the children of John,
No. 70, and are therefore so assigned.
66. Davis' Rich (James"), b. in Chatham, Conn. (East Hampton),
Nov. 24, 1775 (Md. Record, Vol. I, p. 137). is undoubtedly the
one mentioned by Bailey (Vol. I, p. 52), as marrying at Had-
dam, March, 1795, Freelove Brooke. The following children
are from Haddam Records, as furnished by the Town Qerk.
Children of Davis' and Freelove (Brooke) Rich:
72. Samuel,* b. Sept. 24, 1796.
73. Huldah,* b. June 23, 1798.
74. Justin.* b. May 22, 1800.
75. Nabby,* b. Feb. 22, 1802.
76. David,* b. Feb. 22, 1805.
77. Freelove,' also, probably, m. William Little, at Haddam,
Sept. 9, 1821.
67. Betty' Rich (James'), b. in Chatham. Conn., March 6, 1778
(Md. Record, Vol. I. p. 137) ; d. at Enfield, Conn., Nov. 6,
1864; m. at Enfield, March i, 1793. George Allen, b. Enfield.

70. John' Rich (James*), b. at East Hampton, and bap. Feb. 16,
1783; had wife Abigail; for the following children recorded on
pages 100 and loi of East Hampton Church (printed records),
could have been children of none other than him.
Children of John' and Abigail ( ) Rich:
83. Amelia,* bap. May 10, 1801.
84. Joseph Butler,* bap. May 26, 1805.
85. Abigail,* bap. July 13, 1806.
86. Nathaniel Austin,* bap. July 3, 1808.
The following records probably relate to this family, but I have
been unable to assign them their proper places.
Jesse Rich and Anna Blake were m. at Middletown, June i,
1800 (Ch. Record, p. 35). Anna Rich was Administratrix of estate
of Jesse Rich, of Middletown, Dec. 27, 1802 (Prob. Record, Vol. I,
pp. 434,435). Dec. 28, 1805, Nancy Meigs, dau. of the widow Anne
Rich (aged about 5 years), was bap. Dec. 5, 1802, Anna Rich, widow
of Jesse, asked prayers of Cong. Church, Middletown on account
of death of her husband who d. at Charleston, S. C, and was buried
Nov. 2 last past, having died of yellow fever, aged 25.
We also have as follows:

ADDRESSES
DELIVERED AT A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE NEW YORK GENEALOGICAL
AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY, APRIL 10, I92O, CALLED FOR THE PUR-
POSE OF CONFERRING HONORARY MEMBERSHIP OF THE SOCIETY UPON
HIS EXCELLENCY, JEAN JULES JUSSERAND,
FRENCH AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
The meeting was held at the Society's Hall, at 3.30 P. M., Qar-
ence Winthrop Bowen, the President of the Society, in the chair.
Rev. Ernest Milmore Stires, Rector of St. Thomas' Protestant
Episcopal Church, having been delegated by the Board of Trustees
to announce to His Excellency, the Ambassador, his election as an
Honorary Member of the Society, thus addressed the Society and
the Ambassador:
"It is well that we should advise His Excellency, the French
Ambassador, of the fact that we meet here not to confer a distinc-
tion, but to receive one. I can well understand that certain of our
relatives, not Americans — shall we say our English 'cousins?'—
hearing of this occasion may declare : How characteristically
American it must have been ! The New World electing the Old
World to honorary membership !
It is for no such purpose we are met to-day. It is rather to de-
clare a debt of gratitude and to express the realization of a sense
of relationship to which we desire to give some formal expression,
and to present some tangible symbol of that debt and relationship.
This Society exists because it is grateful for the past. The Gene-
alogical and Biographical Society of New York, looks back with
some degree of pride, but with a very large degree of gratitude to
the heroism, the courage, the devotion of our forbears who, facing
undreamt of difificulties and perils, began one of the great experi-
ments of human history upon this Continent.
We are not organized primarily for the purpose of living, as it
were, in the reflected light of the glory of our ancestors; we know
how to value our relationship to them ; we know how to estimate
our sense of responsibility to them. It is not with any sort of false
pride that we are tempted to think of ourselves as better than
others, but we meet from time to time to remind ourselves of how
much more the country and the world has a right to expect of those
to whom very much has been given.
After all, we sympathize with the young woman in an attractive
play presented here in America a few years ago who, when the sub-
ject of the respective age of certain families of the community was
up for consideration, remarked, with a smile which the audience
knew how to appreciate. "If you go a little way back, we are all de-
scended from the Adamses." (laughter.)
Among the causes for gratitude which animate the New York
Genealogical and Biographical Society is the constant sense of its
242 Addresses. [July
debt to France. In the early days of the Republic, before indeed
it was as yet launched as a Republic, there was a somewhat serious
difference of opinion between the people dwelling in this land and
a certain German-born King of England. We experienced in those
early days something of that which the world has still more pain-
fully experienced and on a larger scale in these later times. We
knew what it was in this community to have our fair fields over-
run with Hessian mercenaries.
We look back with gratitude and with joy to the attitude of
France, your Excellency, in those difficult days. And the Society
knows how to value the great share that France had in the birth
of this Nation. But it is not only because of the contribution of
France to the young country struggling for existence, to the young
country fighting for those great ideals and principles which in these
later times civilization has found essential for the whole world;
it is not only because of the physical strength and the cheering spirit-
ual comfort which we derived from France in those days which ex-
cite our gratitude to France as well as our appreciation. For many,
many generations — and if we were centuries old we would be able
to say for centuries past — France has been the inspiration of the
world in literature, in art and in science.
Few people, unfortunately, seem to realize how vastly more im-
portant have been the original contributions of France to science
than those of that nation with which both France and ourselves have
more recently been at war. Only well furnished, professional scien-
tists understand that, in many of the most important scientific
achievements of the last generation, the initial discoveries were made
in France. They were developed, utilized and exploited by the
clever Huns across the border, and oftentimes the credit went to
them, whereas the credit for the original discovery ought to belong
to France.
That, however, is known in America; and it is not only because
of the personal debt which this nation — may I say politically — owes
to France, but what we owe to France for inspiration in the arts
and sciences which constitutes, at least, a part of the debt which we
should like to recognize to-day.
Sir; iP is more difficult to speak of our recent and more in-
timate relationship on the battle fields of France. With the rest
of the world, we, too, were stunned on the first day of August, 1914,
when the incredible thing happened. The Ambassador of France
will permit me to stop here for a moment and speak of the way_ in
which we were thrilled at the very beginning by a nation which
perhaps might not feel dignified if we applied to it any other racial
designation than that which it claims as its own but which never-
theless seems to America to have been inspired by the French spirit,
as indeed it almost entirely speaks the French language— I mean
Belgium.
To us spiritually, Belgium is almost a part of France. It was no
surprise, to those who knew her and knew her spirit, that when
there was choice between a certain sort of safety with dishonor on
igzo.] Addresses. 243
the one hand, and crucifixion, but with honor unstained on the
other, there was not a moment's doubt as to what Belgium would do.
We recall very gratefully the quiet and quick answer of France to
the challenge of those early days of August, 19 14, and we breathed
a sigh of relief and joined with you in prayers of thanksgiving to
Almighty God, uttered by the entire French nation, and by that
honored member thereof, the great Foch, himself, when the retreat
of the Huns from Paris began.
It was not strange. Sir, to us who knew your people and knew
your country's history, that there shone out so clearly in those days
with spontaneous renaissance, a brilliant light and glory and power
that had never before been manifested, so it seemed to us, in the
history of France or any other nation, and which seemed to us the
very incarnation of honor and of courage and modesty.
I remember — if I may be permitted to speak with some degree
of personality — how profoundly stirred I was, your Excellency, by
letters which I began to receive from France in May, 1917, from my
oldest son, a lad of eighteen, who had gone over to drive an ambu-
lance with the Army of General Mangin, and served six months in
the Aisne Campaign on the Chemin-des-Dames. One letter after
another was filled with enthusiastic appreciation of the marvellous
French people, and declared that, in spite of their sufiferings, and in
spite of the constant threat of their being overwhelmed by the
great hordes pushing down upon them from the Rhine, that nobody
who saw them fight could believe that their spirit was other than
invincible, or that they ever could be conquered by any numbers
which could be sent against them in battle array. (Applause.)
It is not a small part of my pride, your Excellency, that having
received a scratch from a bit of a German shell, a 220, he was
privileged to leave a few drops of his blood ,and of mine in him,
upon the field of honor in France. And then, when I myself had
the privilege of going along the battle line in the summer of 1918,
from those dark days of July, to the brighter days in the end of
October, I felt again that no one who could see the French fight
could ever have any doubt as to what the issue of that war would
be. In fact, Sir, from what I saw of the French armies in action, I
felt almost compelled to come to the conclusion that with the in-
evitable French kindness and courtesy they had simply delayed wind-
ing up that afifair so that America might save her face and take her
place in the line. (Applause.)
And yet. Sir, the spirit of the French soldiers, officers and men,
in the front lines was in no respect finer, nobler and more inspiring
than the invariable spirit of the French people — young and old, men
and women, in whatsoever part of France you met them.
It was a thrilling story, though one which did not surprise me,
which was told me shortly after I landed at Bordeaux, in July, 1918,
and Was on my way north to Paris, and from there up to the lines.
A friend who had already spent a year in France, and who met me
in Bordeaux, said, as we were on our way north, pointing over to
the east, 'Over there is La Rochelle. I would like to tell you a
244 Addresses. [July
story of a widow who lived there.' I said, 'Please tell it.' He said,
'When the war came, this widow had five stalwart sons, and she
gathered them together ; she had been a poor woman all her life,
but she looked at them with a smile and said, 'My boys, for the
first time in my life I realize that I am rich. I have five sons to
give to France, and you will all go quickly to your places and do
your best.' Four of the boys, one after another in the first year or
two of the war, made the last great sacrifice ,and it so happened that
the four of them died fighting around Verdun. Finally the news
came to her that her fifth and last boy had died in action near Ver-
dun. When the news came to her she looked with a smile at the
man — an old cripple — who brought her the tidings and made quiet
preparations for a journey. She walked from La Rochelle to Ver-
dun. The story of her journey and of her experience is too long
even to be suggested here this, afternoon, but at any rate, after
several weeks of walking, some three or four hundred miles it
must be, at last she reached the lines around Verdun, where her
explanations as to her journey seemed so strange that she soon
found herself in the presence of the General commanding who,
with great sympathy, but firmness said, 'You must give me the real
reason for your presence here.' She said, 'Sir, my five boys gave
their lives around Verdun for France and for the world's freedom
and I have made a pilgrimage that I may kneel here at the altar
where they off^ered the sacrifice, and thank God for having given
me such sons, and then whisper in their ear that their mother is
very proud of them !'
That, my friends, was the spirit of all France, not only of the
officers and men in the fighting lines, but of every human being you
met over there. It is not strange that our lads are reported to have
fought well in France. We think they were pretty good stuf? to
begin with, but how a soldier could do otherwise than fight well in
France would pass my comprehension. (Applause.)
It was just about two years ago, your Excellency, shortly after
the great March offensive began near the North Sea and Marshal
Haig and his men were having a very rough and difficult time of
it. when one British division after another, badly smashed, was
going back to the rear to be replaced by fresh troops, that a French
division went in the late afternoon of a day that had been disastrous
and costly. A French 'poilu' was heard saying to a Captain whom
he knew verv intimately and who came from his own home town,
'Your pardon, Captain, but why is it that we are being sent in when
one British division after another had been smashed and sent back.
We are being sent in when nothing can be accomplished.' 'Quiet,
my son,' said the Captain. 'After all it is owr France!'
It is not strange, therefore, Indies and Gentlemen, that knowing
France and loving France, that we feel it a great privilege that the
French Ambassador has consented to receive our personal ack-
nowledgment of an infinite debt. We hope that he will not think
it strange that America, with what is said to be her invariable abil-
ity for recognizing something that is valuable, is going to the utmost

limits to-day in an effort to claim personal relationship with France,
The Genealogical Society is determined that the French branch of
its family tree must be considerably strengthened.
Ambassadors are, of course, supposed to accept alleged distinc-
tions as a tribute to the country which they represent. That is not
a sufficient explanation for this occasion. Uur guest is the Dean of
all the Ambassadors in Washington. He has seen many changes
take place in the representatives of foreign Governments to the
United States. I imagine he has seen no less than four or five
changes in that of the British Government t0i the United States
during his residence in Washington, and all this while he, a quiet,
modest, scholarly gentleman, has been continuously the representa-
tive of France, always firm, yet always reasonable; always just, yet
always generous ; he has served France faithfully ; he has endeared
himself to all Americans. He is too intelligent for us to attempt
to deceive him concerning the character of this occasion, he is not
here, as I have already stated, to receive a distinction, but to confer
one. It is to America and to our Society that the honor of this day
belongs.
Your presence. Sir, reminds us of your country's great share in
the birth of our nation, and of your country's predominating part
in the more recent preservation of the liberties of mankind. In ac-
cepting membership in our Society you are graciously acknowledg-
ing our blood brotherhood of earlier days and of later days. You
are consenting to transfuse the blue blood of noble tradition and
glorious achievement into the red blood of hopeful youth. We are
grateful, Sir, and we pray that you may long remain with us,
strengthening the real relationship between two great nations who
must march side by side to protect and increase the freedom and
happiness of all mankind.
Your Excellency, I have the very great honor to announce that
you have been unanimously elected an Honorary Member of the
Genealogical and Biographical Society of New York." (Pro-
longed Applause.)
The President then addressed the Society in introduction of
the Guest of Honor, saying:
"Ladies and Grentlemen : We are not in the habit of intro-
ducing members, for they are one of us and they need no intro-
duction. The gentleman who will now address you is an Honorary
Member of the Society. That distinction has been conferred upon
him as you have just heard by the preceding speaker. The Am-
bassador of France to the United States will now address you."
(Applause.)
In response to the Rev. Dr. Stires' announcement and to the
President's introduction. Ambassador Jusserand replied as follows :
"Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen : I am deeply gratified
by the action of your Board of Trustees of which I have just been
informed in terms so touching, so moving for one of my race, that

really I could scarcely quiet my emotions. The Reverend Dr. Stires
knew how to touch the most intimate fibers of the heart of a man
from France. He is an American, and that explains it. He is a
father and a member of the church and he had a soldier son at
the front. He, too, like the French woman, can say, 'I am rich. I
have given a son for the defense of liberty in general and in the
abstract.' It is a liberty that will benefit all the nations that deserve
it, for it is one for which so many French and Americans have died
in recent times and this liberty shall continue in the future even if
future opposition should arise. (Applause.)
The Rev. Dr. Stires spoke of the impressions here during the
war and the impressions abroad. I was in this country during the
whole of the war; I left Paris on the morning of the day when it
was declared, and returned to America at once, and never left the
Capitol City during all that period. And we had very sad days !
When I think of the first weeks when as the news came and we did
not know whether we would survive as a great nation or not, until
finally one morning I walked into the room of my wife, and said to
her, 'It is a victory.' And she burst into tears. It was the Marne !
After this we had very many varied days, days where the French
showed what they were and that they did not change. There were
some people who said that a war of patience is a war that the
French will lose because, although they are plucky, they are not pa-
tient. I answered that the French fought and won the Hundred
Years' War, and no one else has done that. The other fellow
lost it.
And then we had the day when the news came in France that
the Americans were coming, those men to whom we had sent a
handful of men, a small army, under Lafayette, and the small army
of Rochambeau, which was all that we could do. And now you
came in millions. We had put it in as a condition of the Revolu-
tionary treaty, that if anything happens we were not to accept a
recompense because we came to fight for your independence and
not for any recompense, and we kept our word. When Yorktown
was taken, we were bribed for a separate peace, but we refused by a
letter of which Franklin said, T like that letter very much.'
You reciprocated what we had done ; we had no example to fol-
low and never until your entrance into the war had we been imi-
tated. Your noble nation duplicated our early action. You came
with all your youth and power for nothing except for what is most
.sacred in our eyes, for the cause of right, for the cause of liberty in
order that democracy might survive in this world ; you came with-
out a thought, without an afterthought, being bent upon receiving
nothing as a compensation, and you got nothing and you wanted
nothing except what you have — gratitude. I am no prophet and I
cannot see into the future ; but, if you are threatened again you may
count on us. (Applause.)
The Reverend Doctor has put me quite off my track. I have been
elected a member of this Society and I intended to speak to you about
genealogy, as I know that one must speak about some specific sub-
igM.] Addresses. 247
ject, and I wanted to speak to you about genealogy and about one
particular individual. If you are so good as to give me a few mo-
ments audience, I shall fulfill that part of my agreeable task and
comply with what I conceive to be the desire of this meeting.
We know perfectly well that our parents, being human, had
faults as has every man and woman. We want to know what they
were and to emulate their better characteristics. In order to fulfill
their wish, that is, to try and continue what was best in them, what
they wanted us to continue, I desire to mention a very touching line
in Homer, where Hector says Good-bye for the last time to his son,
and holding him in his arms, he says, 'I hope the day shall come
when the people will say, "He is braver than the father and we don't
regret the father." ' That is the feeling in genealogy. We want
our sons, receiving the gift we have received from our ancestors, to
continue and improve for their benefit and for the benefit of their
noble nation.
Lord Chesterfield, the master of eloquence, had in his house a
complete record of his ancestors, beginning with Adam Chesterfield
and Eve Chesterfield. And here in America, I think it is very touch-
ing and an honor to this country that people far from being ashamed
of their humble origin, if they have one, are proud of it. In the Con-
gressional Directory, all the members of Congress write their own
biograf>hy. If they have been so lucky as to have been a boot-
black, that is put down.
During our wars. Marshal LeFevre, when he was made a Duke,
heard people audibly smiling at this newly acquired Dukedom, and
on the fact that he had no ancestors and he turned to them and said,
'Adam is my ancestor ;' and as people were making some fun at the
beauty of his uniform, he said, 'It took twenty years to prepare it
and it is just finished.'
It has been said by a French woman, the sister of an American,
that vanity had turned this study of genealogy into a science which
has caused numerous volumes to be printed and that the works on
genealogy were dear to the nobility. Why should the sentiment of
gratitude to a father or grandfather who started from the humble
roof where he was born, not lead us to a desire to know and to
follow the lines of his labors and efforts? This woman was the
sister of the one of whom I wanted to say a few words to conform
to the rule of your Society which requires me to speak of some
definite person. She was the sister of Citizen Genet.
Citizen Genet was a New Yorker, but a Frenchman by birth, and
died a citizen of your State of New York. He appears to our eyes
as one studying anything that comes to his mind — especially the
wrong thing — insulting to everybody, including Washington ; a mis-
chief-maker as few men ever were in any country. I am going to
speak to you about the youth of Citizen Genet.
I have in my hand letters from his father to him. There is no
doubt that, when he landed at Charleston, in the Spring of 1793,
he had his head turned. The country was full of political diffi-
culties. That happens now and then in democracies. There were
248 Addresses. [July
parties which were called Federalists and Anti-Federalists. The
Jeffersonians were the opposition party and they hugged Citizen
Genet to their bosom. He had his head completely turned, and
from Charleston it was a long, triumphant journey for him. He
was covered with wreaths, sung to praise, and he considered him-
self a kind of God. He celebrated the 14th of July, which was
already our national holiday, in Philadelphia, and the local paper
gives an account of that festivity.
At that time, of Genet, all that we know is that he arrived in
this country in this extraordinary fashion, that he was disagreeable
to Washington, whom he considered from his point of view, as a
man of intense ideas and the worst epithet that he could use to
characterize Washington was that he was a fadist.
Anyhow, he was a man of charming family. His people were
well bred, well taught and in easy circumstances. The father was
the head of the Foreign Interpreters at the French Foreign Office,
and his two sisters were readers to the Queen, Marie Antoinette, and
they were all charming. The young Genet was sent to Paris to
study. The father remained at Versailles, and every day, without
missing one, sent him a letter. He kept him aware of his duties
and of the necessity to learn. Young Genet was supposed to learn
Latin, Greek to perfection, English, Italian and Swedish, all per-
fectly. He had two Swedish companions so that his Swedish should
not rust, and he was made to translate books from the Swedish.
The father wrote to him, 'Do not lose time and especially do
not be too risky. Do not risk any danger.' French parents are
much more nervous about their children than any others, than per-
haps even those in America, where young children are allowed to
do what they please and that makes it very serious. And yet, when
you recall the last war, our children showed that they had some
pluck. I was in the country and there was a mother hen and she
had a number of little chicks, and the little chicks were Walking in
the water, and I said to my wife, 'An American hen.' A French hen
would not allow her chicks to do that. (Laughter.)
And so it was that every day Genet's father wrote to his son
and then some events happened. There was a spread of small-pox
and there were endless letters advising that the extraordinary step
of inoculation should be taken. In those days it was considered a
thing of extraordinary bravery to have it done. There were direc-
tions to be followed for a fortnight, and then you were inoculated
and then there were all sorts of remedies. I shall not dwell upon
what they were, but it took at least a month to be inoculated.
And then there were letters as to the clothes his son was to wear.
He should order a suit and, as his parents were not there to choose
the colors, and he must choose himself. What will the color be?
Letter after letter! The sister recommends the bluish color. The
father thinks it is not a bad idea, and the mother likes the bluish
color, and the son is told to go and make his choice.
He should take a 'savoyer,' a man who ran errands. He would
go and buy the stuff and when he had it he must go to the tailor
1920.] Addresses. 249
and he must be measured, taking into account that the suit was to
be made up for one that is still growing, so that it might be used
next year. And then there is a letter from the mother saying that
after all, perhaps instead of taking the 'savoyer,' 'you may perhaps
take a carriage.' She was afraid that perhaps the bundle carried
by the 'savoyer' might fall into a ditch and get the cloth all dirty.
All this life is very charming. The sisters would read to Marie
Antoinette, and she reads to her very serious things, and the Queen
is charming to them. They go together to the play, and the selec-
tion of the play was left to those two young people, and they were
asked to go the play first, and that is all really as touching as can
be and as French as can be. You may read about French families
in the novels that you read while you travel to amuse yourself, but
French families are not that way in the least.
Now and then, sometimes, we read of political events. The
news comes and the father writes to his son in order that he be
aware of what is going on. In April, 1777, he writes, 'We have very
important and very certain news from Lxindon. The British have
been beaten by the Americans, and I must tell you that at once.'
And then also casually in a letter in the course of which there are
all sorts of communications about what he should do and what he
should not do, the father says, 'If you see B, tell him confidentially
and in secret of the news I have just learned as to the son-in-law, as
it has caused me very great surprise. His son-in-law has just started
on a sudden trip for America, to go to serve the insurgents.' The
son-in-law was called Lafayette. 'He is going to them with a ship
full of dresses and coats and ammunition. What will his uncle
think? He is now the minister of France in London. It is the talk
of everybody at the Court just now.'
And then another thing. Emperor Joseph II comes to France.
He was the brother of the queen, and his coming is also a great
event, and they describe him. The emperor was a man of great
advanced ideas and would not wear any decorations and would not
have any servants. He was going to tour France and his sister
asked him if he would not take with him his first valet, and he said,
'Certainly, I shall take him since it is myself.' That is another
item of interest.
And then the father is very anxious and nervous about every-
thing. Then there are endless letters about manners, and how he
must behave in society, and how he must be silent and not speak
without being interrogated. This don't only apply to the Genet
family, I was taught that when I was a child. It is a rule in French
tradition. We were constantly told never to speak unless a question
is put to us, which percept was much easier to suggest than to
carry out. Young Genet was not altogether silent, and the father
objected very much.
Then the son was sent to Germany to learn the German language
and to learn genealogv' — that may touch you — and the father says
that in Germany genealogy is regarded as of immense importance;
but in this, as in every thing, the Germans attach a different meaning
250 Addresses. [July
and sense to words and studies than we of the liberal countries do,
and they study genealogy for different purposes than the French do.
The father expressed the wish that one day his son may become
a member of one of the Academies, but I am sorry to say that he
has a very disparaging word for the Academic Franqaise of the
Forty. The father was a member of the Academy Fran^aise, but
he did not think much of it. He said to his son, T am delighted that
tickets are reserved for you to the two academies and that the
Academy of the Forty, though more brilliant, is far from deserving
the same esteem.' We have changed that somewhat since. He says,
'I hope, my good friend, that you will be a member of one of the
three good Academies. You will certainly deserve it, because it is
a question of ten years of study, with some savoir faire.'
There are a great many of those letters and to read them, when
you have the old letters themselves, gives a very intimate impres-
sion of the life of those brave, honest people.
The yotmg man was twenty years of age. We see some little
traces of Citizen Genet, whom your ancestors have known here. The
father is always afraid that he will be like the chicks of the 'Ameri-
can hen,' and that he will go where it Wcis dangerous. There is an
occasion where he has to go to a place near Paris, and he has to do
the simplest thing, namely, take an omnibus by water. The father
was afraid that the son would put his hand out and get hurt. There
was a Friday when the son had actually eaten meat, and the father
is so kind to his son that he says, T understand a young boy like you
cannot find that vegetable and eggs are enough. The next time I will
see that there is fish and you will abstain from meat.'
Well, Genet came here and you know what happened. One thing
I must say that, although we were in the thick of our revolution, and
it was the Reign of Terror, our people were not such fools as to
under-estimate the monstrous mistakes of Genet. It was always
said that Genet was dismissed by Washington, by Robespierre, and
by the men in power over in France. On receipt of the first letter
they received from Genet in America, in which he gave an account
of his glory and triumphs and how he had drunk a toast with the cap
of liberty on his head, they ordered him home, and for fear he
would not come, they sent a commission to bring him back. Genet
knew very well what it meant to be taken back to France, and he
chose to remain here. The Americans were very nice to him and
instead of dismissing him, they refused to hand him over to his
compatriots.
His education was not entirely lost on him and he proved to be a
charming man when he spoke about something else other than
politics, and when he spoke of politics he was considered a charm-
ing" man among the Anti-Federalists, and the result was that he
pleased very much the daughter of one of your most famous Gov-
ernors, Governor Qinton, who was an Anti-Federalist, and he mar-
ried her. He remained in this country and had a number of chil-
dren.
I920.] Addresses 25 1
When James Monroe returned from France, he wrote Genet a
letter, in which he said that he was bringing some porcelain from
his sister, and that he would send it to him, and that he hears that
Genet has now become a favorite in France. He said, 'I am happy
to hear that.' And then Monroe adds, 'I have had my day of suf-
fering, too, in the cause of liberty and my country.' Monroe was
elected President of the United States and was re-elected to that
office and was the father of the famous Monroe Doctrine, which
shows that the wisest of men can be poor prophets when predicting
their own future.
Citizen Genet says he feels very well in America and that he has
three children and that he wants to stay here. He remained here
and died an old man at Schodack, in New York, respected, well be-
haved, a good agriculturist and a good citizen of the United States.
I shall read only one more letter and that letter bears also the
same name, the name of Genet. It is not of the same period of time,
and it reads as follows : 'I may have but a month or so more to
live, but by all that is heavenly I will meet a death that will bring
honor to anyone and you perhaps over there can realize the feelings
and enthusiasm we few American fellows have over here for France
in this big cause. The world will know and remember our sacrifice
for many a year to come.' That letter was from Edmond Genet, the
great-grandson of Citizen Genet, who had enlisted in the Foreign
Legion at the beginning of the Great War, and had fought splendid-
ly, having enlisted in the Lafayette Escadrille, full of Americans,
the one to wliich Chapman belonged and in which he died, and so
many others whose names are cherished. Edmond Genet wrote that
on the 22nd of October, 1916, and he wrote also a year after that,
'Remember that I gave my life for France. So, dear brothers, keep
the French colors over my grave as well as the stars and stripes.'
Six months after that he was killed and his French campanions
bore him to his last resting place and a photograph is in the book of
his souvenirs with those two flags on his coffin.
In a mind like that, in that of so many Americans who have
done the same, in that of so many Frenchmen who came to your
rescue when you were in danger, lives what is noblest in man's
breast and what is noblest in the two noblest nations that exist in the
world, yours and mine.' " (Prolonged Applause.)
The President of the Society, at the conclusion of the Ambas-
sador's felicitous response, then closed the exercises with the fol-
lowing remarks :
"The Ambassador will be interested in knowing that a son of
Citizen Genet was a member of the Society of the Sons of the Revo-
lution, of which Society, Mr. Oliphant, who is present here to-day,
is President, and of which Society Mr. Montgomery is the Presi-
dent-General of all the State Chapters. Mr. Montgomei-y knew Mr.
Genet ; he was one of us ; he was an old man and the son of this
Citizen, and at J^ or 80 years of age. he used to come and attend the
meetings of the Society of the Sons of the Revolution. Therefore,
252 Westchester County, N. Y., Miscellanea. [July
your paper, Mr. Ambassador, takes us back to the times of those
who were associated with Washington. We thank you for coming
here and for telling us what you have told us, and we thank you and
welcome you as a member and you will be cherished and loved as
long as memory prevails. (Applause.)
Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a formal meeting and it is not
necessary to have a vote of thanks because the men who have spoken
are members of the Society, both of them, not only the Ambassador,
but the speaker who conferred the Honorary Membership on the
Ambassador. The Ambassador came over from Washington last
evening and, immediately after the close of these exercises, goes
down to the Pennsylvania Station to take the train for Washington.
We are honored by his presence and we thank him. The meeting is
now adjourned."

COMMENTS ON, AND CORRECTIONS OF, SOME
CURIOUS ERRORS, WHICH ARE TO BE FOUND
RECORDED IN THE INTRODUCTION TO
HEMPSTEAD'S DIARY.*
Contributed by Charles D. Parkhurst,
Colonel. U. S. Army (retired) and Member of the New London County (Cc
Historical Society.
Naturally one assumes that the Introduction to any book will be
in perfect harmony and accord with the contents of the said book;
and, in any statements made, the introduction is generally taken as
authority, the same as the book itself, without question. Hence, in
the case about to be presented, it is a little curious to find such not
to be the case.
The first mistake is one that cannot be refuted by the book it-
self ; but is of such a nature as to call for comment.
The Introduction to the Hempstead Diary, page ix, has the fol-
lowing :
"From facts recently brought to light it is probable that Robert
Hempstead came from Hempstead, Long Island, rather than with
Winthrop's men. So far as known all the Hempsteads in this coun-
try are descended from Robert Hempstead and his brother."
The writer has the following before him, sent him in 1895, by
a descendant of the Hempstead Family :
"Robert Hempstead, one of the first nine settlers of New Lon-
don, and in the earliest records of Hartford called Sir Robert, also
so called in Barbour's History of Connecticut, had the three chil-
dren Mary, Joshua, Hannah, of whom Mary was the first English
child born in the new settlement of New London.
He is supposed to have come from Hempstead, Essex Co., Eng-
land, with other English settlers, and to have first settled at Hemp-
stead, Long Island. But, finding that under Dutch control, came to
New London. The tradition is that "Robert Hempstead came to
New London by boat as a young unmarried man."
Now there is nothing "new" about this latter statement, which
is not given as "fact," but merely as supposition; the "facts" are
♦Editor's Note: Hempstead's Diary, a most voluminous daily record of
events in New London, Conn, (in published form containing, including index
and excluding the introduction, 750 small type octavo pages) was kept by
Joshua^ Hempstead from Sept.. 171 1, to Nov., 1758, and is, outside of the
actual original town records of New London themselves, the best source of
corroborative evidence available for students of New London family gene-
alogy between the years which the diary covers. This article is in no way
intended to cast any reflection upon the value and accuracy of the diary
itself, but is written for the purpose of calling attention to, and correcting,
certain errors of statement regarding the ancestry and family of the author
of the diary, Joshua^ Hempstead, which errors are recorded in the Intro-
duction to this work. The introduction was written in 1901.
260 Comments and Corrections, Hempstead's Diary. [July
that it is merely the revival of an old family "tradition," probably
brought about by the similarity of names, as they now appear, mak-
ing a supposition only.
When examined critically, however, this supposition, harmless
in itself, becomes very improbable. The Dutch town of "Heem-
stede" (home-stead), now called "Hempstead," away down in the
western end of Long Island, would be one of the last places to at-
tract any English emigrants, as early as 1645. Later on, there ap-
parently was more or less of a struggle in that neighborhood between
the Dutch and the English, and finally the town was given the
English name of Hempstead, which name also means "home-stead."
The "Sir" Robert part of the old family tradition was exploded
long ago. As Miss Caulkins says : "It originated probably from
rude handwriting of the recorder, in which an imskilled reader
might easily mistake the title Mr. for that of Sir." If Robert
Hempstead had been a Knight, and entitled to use, or be called by,
the title of "Sir," he would probably have so stated in his will, which
he does not do.
Again I have before me a copy of a letter written in 1902, from
which I quote the following:
'"Isaac Willey of Boston, Mass., married Joanna Luttin; upon
his death she married Richard Hempstead, a Justice of the Courts
on Long Island. At his death she makes a claim against the estate
for her children, stating that it should go to his children by his first
wife [Court Record]. There is some doubts as to the relationship
between Robert and Richard Hempstead ; it is conjectured that Rob-
ert was the son of Richard."
The writer has searched for many years for the origin of this
statement ; but so far without success. It has been suggested that
an error has been made in this case in reading the name of "Holm-
sted" or "Holmstead," the old way of writing the present name of
"Olmstead," as "Hempsted," or "Hempstead." For the old way of
writing "Holmsted," see Vital Records of Norzvich, Vol. I, where the
record reads, "John Holmsted dec'sd Aug. 2, 1686." Also see Man-
waring's Digest, Vol. I, p. 343, Will of Elizabeth Holmstead, where-
in she seems to spell the name both ways, "Holmstead," and "Olm-
stead."
So far as the writer can find, there is not the slightest trace of a
Richard Hempstead to be found, either as father, or brother, of
Robert Hempstead ; and the name "Richard" is not found among the
Hempstead family early descendants at all, as it would have been
likely to have been, had there been a father, or a brother Richard, of
Robert Hempstead.
We can, therefore, dismiss the statements irv the Introduction,
as quoted as not borne out by any "facts," "recently brought to
light," or otherwise. Robert Hempstead received a grant of land
in New London among the very earliest given, showing him to have
been here among the very first settlers — and that is all we abso-
lutely knozv about it.
I
tQ20.] Cotnments and Corrections, Hempstead's Diary. 26 1
Now come the errors that are of some moment, part of which
can be refuted by the very book for which the Introduction was
written.
On page x. Introduction, appears a genealogy of the immediate
famihes of Robert, Joshua, and Joshua Hempstead 2d.
First. "Robert Hempstead married Joanna Wilhe."
Now did he? There is not the slightest shred of evidence that
his wife's name was Joanna WilHe, or Willey. Miss Caulkins, in
her account of Robert Hempstead, p. 272, History of New London,
says nothing about who his wife was, merely gives the names of his
three children Mary. Joshua, Hannah; it is only on page 310, in
her sketch of the family of Isaac Willey, that she says "infernetial
testimony leads us to enroll among the members of this family,
Joanna, wife of Robert Hempstead, and afterwards of Andrew
Lister."
Where the "inferential testimony" comes in does not appear. It
is by no means certain that her first name was even "Joanna ;" in
his will, Robert Hempstead gives her the name "Joane" — not neces-
sarily a two-syllable word, but pronounced as a one-syllable word,
the "oane" sounding the same as "one," in "Cone."
Savage, who got the most of his New London data from Miss
Caulkin's History of New London, or from correspondence with
her, fails to accept her "inferential testimony ;" and there is cer-
tainly nothing about it to warrant the bald, bare-faced, positive state-
ment as given in the Introduction, viz. : "Robert Hempstead married
Joanna Willie."
We come now to the greatest and most curious of all errors in
the lot.
"Joshua Holmstead married Elizabeth Larrabee. He died 1687.
Children :
Elizabeth, d. an infant, two months old.
Elizabeth, b. Sept. 2. 1672; m. John Plumb, b. 1689; d. 1733.
Mary, b. Jan. — , 1674; m. Green Plumb, May 30, 1694.
Lydia, b. June 7, 1676; m. — ■ — Salmon (of Southold, probably).

Hannah, b. , 1680; m. John Edgecomb.
Phebe, ) probably died unm.
Patience, \ '^
Lucy, m. John Hartshorn."
There are so many errors in this so-called "genealogy," that the
only way to do is to go back to the original records and get facts,
as they appear on record, both as to births and baptisms, for it is by
both of these records that we get at the facts.
There is no use in taking space to quote the exact wording of
the birth records ; the dates are what we are after, with the names
of the children involved; the exact text of the record is simply
verbiage.
The birth and baptismal records, therefore, give us the fol-
lowing :

1709, Jonathan Hartshorn, of Norwich, who d. Feb. 17, 1746-7,

A comparison of these two records shows some very striking and
remarkable differences very difficult to account for. But we will try
to give reasons for some of them at least.
It will be seen that the daughter Lydia, given as b. June 7, 1676,
and as marrying " Salmon (of Southold probably)," has been
eliminated entirely, and that a daughter Phebe takes her place, being
the second of the name to have been born.
This is exactly as the records read. There is no question what-
ever as to the clearness of the record. The name "Phebe" is as
clear and sharp, and as easily read as though it had been put in
plain print yesterday, instead of having been written over two hun-
dred years ago; and the names of the parents are also clear and
sharp, identifying this Phebe as the daughter of "Joshua Hemp-
stead and his wife Elizabeth" beyond all question.
Not only that, but we have an entirely independent record in that
of her baptism, which reads, "Baptized July 16, 1676, Joshua Hemp-
stead his child Phebe." (Blake's printed reecord, page 450, The
Later History of The First Church of Chri.<;t, New London, Conn.).
Now it is inconceivable that two independent records such as
those should both be in error, and have given a name "Phebe" when
the name was "Lydia." We must believe that both records are cor-
rect, and that the baptismal record confirms the birth record, both
being of one and the same child b. June 7, and bap. July 16, 1676.
Where the name "Lydia" ever came from is beyond all con-
jecture. But there was a reason for the name "Phebe" as follows :
Joshua Hempstead, the first, married Elizabeth Larrabee; she
was the dau. of Greenfield Larrabee, and his wif? Phebe (Brown)
Lee, the widow of Thomas Lee ; hence it was to perpetuate the name
of her mother that Elizabeth (Larrabee) Hempstead named her first
dau. Phebe, and this dau. dying soon, named another with this same
name as shown.
1920.] Comments and Corrections, Hempstead' s Diary. 263
Now to account for the supposed marriage of this fictitious
"Lydia" with some unknown " Salmon, of Southold, probably."
Joshua Hempstead, 2d, in his Diary, makes frequent mention of
a "Sister Salmon," of Southold, Long Island. In the want of a
regularly written genealogy in the family, it is natural enough for
this to have been handed down from generation to generation as
having been a "sister of the full blood," as it is sometimes called;
hence the supposition of a full blood sister, of some name to fill in
the data.
But the facts are as follows :
Joshua Hempstead, 2d's wife, Abigail Bailey, was the dau.
of Stephen Bailey, and his wife Abigail Cooper. She had four mar-
ried sisters, viz. : Temperance, who m. Henry Conkling ; Mary, who
m. Thomas Talmadge; Hannah, who ni. William Salmon, and Chris-
tian, who m. (i) James Patty and (2) Josiah Smith. Hence we
now have the reason not only for the"Sister Salmon" of the Diary,
but also for the other "Sisters" and "Brothers," Conkling, Tal-
madge, Patty and Smith. They were sisters and brothers-in-law, as
we now call them, but then, as now. more frequently simply called
"sister" and "brother," all the contemporaries knowing full well
the absolute relation.
From the records found years ago, long before the Diary was
ever in print, it appears that Hannah Bailey was b. Aug. 27, 1683.
This was "Sister Salmon," curiously enough not now or ever men-
tioned by her first name by Joshua Hempstead in his Diary.
On page 564 of the Diary, we find the following:
"Feby 16, I7f^ ******* j^g melancholy news is
"Aug. 27, 1683 come (from Southold by Samuel Griffing) of
1750 the death of my dear Sister Salmon, my
wives youngest sister of the same mother.
0067 Aged 67 last August the the 27."
And in the margin is the sum in arithmetic old Joshua put down
to get at the years 67.
From this time on all references to any "Sister Salmon" cease,
showing conclusively that this sister-in-law Salmon was the only
"Sister" Salmon.
Again we have that Joshua Hempstead, 1st, left a will. This
will was not presented for probate until Oct. i, 1706, when it was
presented for probate by Joshua Hempstead, 2d, sixteen years after
administration had been granted on the estate. In the meantime,
the widow Elizabeth (Larrabee) Hempstead had m. John Edgecomb,
Sr., and they together had been administering the estate during the
minority of the children. Two children. Patience and Lucy, had
been born after the will was written ; no executor was named in the
will, and for those reasons the Court of Oct. i, 1706, refused to
probate the will.
From this decision Joshua Hempstead. 2d, took an appeal, and
carried the case to the Court of Assistants. This Court reversed
264 Comments and Corrections, Hempstead' s Diary. [July
the action of the lower Court, probated the will, and made certain
rulings and orders in the case. There then followed a long litiga-
tion about the matter, all shown on record ; but of no particular
interest or moment here.
In the will itself, Joshua Hempstead, ist, leaves bequests to his
wife Elizabeth ; son Joshua ; and jour daughters Elizabeth, Mary,
Phebe, Hannah. No executor named. Will dated Oct. 7, 1683.
This is all given simply to show that no daughter Lydia is men-
tioned, and that the four daughters mentioned come in the exact
order of their births. \l there had been any such daughter "Lydia,"
doubtless she would have been named.
The Probate Court record said that two daughters had been
born after the will was written. These daughters were Patience
and Lucy, mentioned by name in the Court proceedings, and abun-
dantly accounted for in the Diary, and other records.
Let us take up Patience first.
The so-called "genealogy" of the Introduction brackets the two
daughters Phebe and Patience, and says, as to both, probably died
unmarried. We can dismiss Phebe, for she did die unmarried as
shown on page 161 of the Diary, where we find :
"Sept. 13, 1725. Sister Phebe a poor Idiot died about i Clock
Monday and she was buried the following day."
Now as to Patience: The very Diary itself with clear Index
references, shows that she married tivice ; as shown by the follow-
lowing :
Index — Patience (sister of Joshua Hempstead), m. Thomas
Ross.
p. 49. Sept. 29, 1 71 5. Tho. Ross & sister Patience married.
p. 90. July 21, 1719. Brother Ross died.
p. no. June 18, 1721. James Hodsell and Sister Patience Ross
published.
p. III. July 6, 1 72 1. James Hodsell & Sister Patience Ross
married at night by Mr. Adams at my house.
p. 160. Aug. 9, 1725. Sister Patience Hodsell died J^ an hour
after 11 o'clock. She hath had a Consumption near
2 year from the beginning of it.
Aug. 12. 1725. I markt a pair of Gr. stones for Sis-
ter Patience Hodsell y' was begun yesterday.
And standing in the Ancient Burial Place to-day is a gravestone
which reads:
"Here lieth the body of Patience, the wife of
James Hodsell, Died Aug. 9, 1725, aged 40 years."
Now is it not a little singular that, with all this data to be easily
found, and as available in 1901, when this Introduction was writ-
ten, as it is to-day, any such statement should have been made that
"Patience, probably died unmarried?" Such absolute ignorance as
to facts would appear to have been absolutely inexcusable.
Now as to Lucy Hempstead:
I
[920.] Comments and Corrections, HrmpsteaiTs Diary. 265
She married Jofmtlian, and not John Hartshorn, of Norwich, as
is shown by proper record, and the Diary has plenty of evidence to
corroborate this fact.
This marriage record is to be found on the Norwich Vital rec-
ords : Vol. I, p. 72 :
"Jonathan Hartshorn, Jr. and Luce (sic) Hempstead were mar-
ried Sept. 8, 1709."
A son Joshua is recorded as b. Dec. 11, 17 10.
The marriage is also on record on the Town records of New
London, with the name as Jonathan.
It is of no particular interest in this connection to follow up the
Hartshorn family. Suffice it to say that the family moved to Mary-
land, and on page 483, of the Diary, we find :
"July 2, 1747. I rec'd a letter from Thos. Hartshorn my sister
Lucys youngest son, dated June 8, which gives an account of the
death of my Brother in law Jont Hartshorns Death, on the 17 day of
February last, after about 3 days illness. Maryland, Siscill (sic)
County, Susquehannah Hundred."
This finishes the dissection of the so-called "genealogy" of the
family of Joshua Hempstead, the first. Years ago, long before the
Diary was printed, a very similar account, in fact, two accounts, that
did not agree with each other, were received by the writer, as the
authentic record of this genealogy. Not then knowing anything
about it, these records were accepted as possibly correct, even
though the difference between the two accounts threw a cloud of
doubt on both.
It is evident that the record as given in this Introduction is sim-
ply one of those hazy, indefinite, and inaccurate family records, that
have grown up from insufficient and inaccurate data, until finally it
is accepted and believed to be correct. But in this day and genera-
tion, it will not pass muster. Why, and how, with data right at
hand from which to have made a correct record, any such fictitious
account should have been put in so important a place, is beyond all
understanding.
To finish up the matter, and to make complete the record of
Joshua Hempstead 2d, the following is given, without going into de-
tails of proof. Everything in this record has, however, been
abundantly corroborated.

THE TIBBITTS OR TIBBETTS FAMILY.
Descendants of George Tippett of Yonkers, N. Y.
Contributed bv William Solyman Coons.
(Continued from Vol. LI, p. ii6, of the Record.)
Part Two.
Gilbert* Tippett (James,* George'-^- ^) and His Descendants.
The second part of this family history relates only to Gilbert*
Tippett and his descendants, for the reason that he is the only one
of the six Tippett grandsons of George^ and Dorcas (Baxter) Tip-
pett whose further history is definitely known to the writer.
As regards the others, we know with certainty only that Thomas'
Tippett was living at North Castle, N. Y., in May, 1784; but that
in 1790 he was no longer a resident of Westchester County, N. Y.,
at least not as a head of a family. George^ Tippett, who had mar-
ried Eleanor De Veaux, was still living in Yonkers in March and
June, 1774, when he mortgaged his farm for £830. He never paid
ofif this mortgage, and he is reported to have died young, leaving one
child. None of these cousins remained in Westchester County as
head of a family in 1790.
The earliest known document mentioning Gilbert" Tippett was
his marriage bond, dated Aug. 11, 1759, when he was 20 or 21 years
old ; his bride was Susannah Glover, a grand-daughter of Charles
Glover, the schoolmaster at Westchester, by Keziah Baxter, his

wife. This original marriage bond was destroyed in the great fire
which partially destroyed the Capitol Building at Albany, N. Y., in
March, 191 1.
When his grandfather Tippett died, in the summer of 1761, Gil-
bert'' Tippett inherited from him a half interest in 28 acres of land
on Spuyten Duyvil Neck, which was the former home of his de-
ceased father, and on which land he was probably living at the time
of his inheritance. He also inherited, together with his brothen
Stephen^ Tippett, two other large tracts of land on the Neck, a part
of which was sold by them to their uncle, Samuel Berrian, on Nov.
13, 1762 (see will of George-^ Tippett, New York Wills, Vol. 23, p.
98, and Westchester Co. Deeds, Vol. 8, p. 31).
Gilbert^ continued to live on or near the Neck until the close of
the Revolutionary War. Here also his four sons Peter," James,'
Stephen, ° and John" were born. Such changes in the topography
of this region have taken place and are still taking place, by the re-
moval of the Old King's Bridge, the excavation of the new ship
canal and the filling in, both of the Spuyten Duyvil Creek from the
point of the Neck eastward and of the salt water branch of this
creek extending northward along the east side of the Neck to the
proper mouth of Tippett's Brook, that it is now somewhat difficult
to reconstruct the topography as it was in the days of our Revo-
lutionary ancestors. In endeavoring to do so, one should go to the
comer of Broadway and West 230th Street. Here he is on or near
the S. E. corner of theancient island of Papirinamen, the first
property which George' Tippett secured in this locality. The water
and marsh which surrounded it occupied approximately the low
land now lying close to the outwardly sides of the present West
230th Street on the South, Broadway on the East, West 236th Street
on the North and Corlear Aveenue on the West. This low land
along West 230th Street is the partly filled in bed of the Spuyten
Duyvil Creek, and, near the junction of this street with King's
Bridge Avenue, was the northern end of King's Bridge, and also of
the ancient Wading Place and ferry chossing from Manhattan
Island. On the high ground, near the north end of the bridge, our
Revolutionary forefathers had a guard house and other buildings,
and there Gilbert** Tippett once had a very unpleasant experience, as
we shall soon see. From Corlear Avenue on this Island, one looks
westward across the former wide lagoon or branch of the Spuyten
Duyvil, now occupied by railroad tracks, to the eastern side of
Spuyten Duyvil Neck. This east side is a very high, steep bluflf,
still largely covered with forest and rising abruptly from Spuyten
Duyvil Road. It extends from the southern point of the Neck to the
vicinity of 238th or 240th Street.
When the Revolutionary War broke out, Gilbert'* Tippett, in
common with many other citizens of Westchester County, felt it to
be his duty to remain loyal to the established government of the
mother country. Hence his sympathies were with the British sol-
diers when they came to New York and forced Washington to re-
treat from Long Island. He seems to have taken no part in the
268 The Tibbitis or Tibbetts Family. LJu'y
actual fighting, but we can imagine with what excitement the events
on Long Island and at Harlem Heights, etc., were discussed by the
citizens of Fordham and Yonkers as Washington's soldiers ap-
proached and passed that locality in their retreat. Gilbert^ Tippett
appears to have taken a leading and excited part in the discussions,
as he met soldiers and others near King's Bridge. His relatives and
neighbors were divided on this great question, and one can now
readily understand how both sides may have been sincere in their
convictions, and how deeply they were stirred by them. He was
convinced that the Colonists were not only wrong, but that they
could not possibly succeed in their venture. When this conviction
received strong encouragement, through Washington's retreat from
Long Island, he became so bold and outspoken in his discussions on
Sept. I and Sept. 5, 1776, that he was promptly arrested for sedition
and locked up in the main guard house at Kingsbridge. We quote
below the official record of the testimony against him on this occa-
sion as found in the Public Papers of George Clinton, First Gov-
ernor of New York, Vol. I, p. 336:
"Gilbert Tippet's Seditious Talk."
"Examination of Nicholas Emanuel Gabrial, Adjutant in Coll.
Swartwout's Regiment & Mr. Richard King of the same Regiment,
taken by Henry Godwin, Captain of the main Guard at Kings-
bridge, Sept'r 7th, 1776, against one Gilbert Tippet, Confind under
Guard in the main Guard House by order of Maj'r General Heath.
Richard King saith that on September ist, 1776, Gilbert Tippet
said in public Company amongst Soldiers and others that (if we
were united the Regulars would overcome us), and that at several
Times he hath found Fault with the measures and spake Words
tending to a Discouragement of the measures now pursued by the
United States of America, and that he (Tippet) was no ways the
worse for Liquor when he spake those words, but looked upon him
to be a sober man.
Adjutant Gabrial saith that on the fifth of September, Anno
Domini, 1776, that he heard Gilbert Tippet discoursing among sev-
eral soldiers and other Persons and endeavored to discourage them,
and that he (Gabrial) heard him (Tippet) say that (if all the men
in the United Colonies were united) that the Regulars would over-
come us yet, and that he (Gabrial) heard him also speak disre-
spectfully of the Commanding Officers in the Service of the United
American States."
In the same volume, p. 340, we learn that on the next day, that
is on Sept. 8, 1776, Governor Clinton addressed from King's Bridge
a letter to "The President of the Convention of the State of N. Y."
enclosing the report of these examinations and making the fol-
lowing remarks about the case :
"I also enclose examinations taken against one Tippit of this
neighborhood, who is also confined in our main guard, by some of
my officers, for the crime therein particularly mentioned, which is
(in my opinion) of the most dangerous nature, and has been too

much practiced, and not without effect, by the disaffected, since the
retreat from l^ng Island, which is given out by them as a total
defeat. I am extrctnely unhappy in lieing obhged to deprive any
man of personal liberty but by due course law. But in the above
cases I flatter myself the Convention will justify me till 1 can have
their directions, which shall be faithfully pursued on every occa-
sion."
What directions the State Convention, or Legislature, made as
regards the final disposition of this case, we have not been able to
learn. The War brought great hardships and many losses to all of
the residents of this locality. Forts were built, battles were fought,
crops were destroyed and many thousands of soldiers, first Ameri-
cans and later iiritish and Hessians, occupied the forts and bar-
racks around Kingsbridge. At the close of the war there were
thousands of Tories who suffered also the loss of their homes and
lands and banishment from the state. Gilbert' Tippett and his
family were among the 2500 Royalis'ts from New York who, during
CJctober and November, 1783, landed at Annapolis Royal, Nova
Scotia, after a stormy sea voyage. According to a family tradition
related by one of his grand-daughters, Mrs. Jane' Manning, late of
South Danby, N. Y., the sea became so rough on this voyage, that
most of his mahogany furniture was thrown overboard to help
lighten the vessel. It is believed, however, that two tables were
spared on this occasion, and that one of them at least, is still in ex-
istence and in the possession of one of his descendants. This is
indicated by the fact that in his will, fiilbert'' makes particular men-
tion of two mahogany tables, as though they were highly prized
because of being relics of his former home in Yonkers, which had
escaped destruction on this memorable sea voyage, and bequeaths
them to his eldest grandson, William' Tibbitts, of Mechanicville,
N. Y.
In June, 1784, a census of the Royalists in Annajjolis Co., N. S.,
was taken, and in this census list we find "Gilbert'^ Tippett" and
wife, with three children above ten years of age and one servant.
The servant was undoubtedly a negro slave and the three children
were his sons James," Stephen," and John." for Peter" had died in
childhood or early youth, perhaps from the hardships of the war.
In this same year, 1784, the new town of Clermont, Annaprjlis Co.,
was organized, and among those who then received land grants in
the town was "Gilbert* Tippett."
But Gilbert'' did not like Nova Scotia evidently, for he did not
remain there long. lie returned to New York State before 1790,
and probably as early as 1787. There are some indications that he
was a resident of Greene Co., N. Y., in 1787, for among the tax-
payers listed in that county that year was a "Mr. Tippit of Kiskato-
mation."* Moreover, an old deed at Ballston Spa, Saratoga Co., in-
forms us Csee Deeds, Vol. 63. p. 148), that when Gilbert'' Tippett
first bought land in the town of Ballston he was a resident of "Coxa-
• Kisketametche, now Kiskatom, in the town of Catskill.
2 "JO The Tibbitts or Tibbetts Family. [July
hie." This name is undoubtedly a copyist's error for Coxsackie,
which term then included the present towns of New Baltimore,
Greenville, Durham, Athens and Cairo, in Greene Co. There was
also a "Mr. Tibbitts" in this 1787 tax list, but in 1790 there was in
Greene Co., only one family of this name, viz. : that of "Henry Tib-
bets." Hence as Gilbert^ is known to have located in Saratoga Co.,
before 1790, and to have come from "Coxahie," he may have been
the "Mr. Tippit of Kiskatomation," who was no longer there in
1790. If this supposition is correct, and if we also infer that Henry
of Greene Co., was his cousin Henry^ who had disappeared from
Westchester Co., we can readily understand how Gilbert"^ was led to
Greene Co., after his return from Nova Scotia. This "Henry Tib-
bets" had seven sons, but all had left the county before 1810. In
1829, there was living near Middleburgh, Schoharie Co., "George,
James, John and Harry Tippet," whd because of these family names
were undoubtedly Gilbert's^ relatives. But it is not clear whether
they were the sons of Henry, of Greene Co., in 1790, who had thus
moved back into Schoharie Co., or whether they were the descen-
dants of a certain "Henry Tippet" who, in 1790, lived in the town
of Mohawk, Montgomery Co., with his four sons and six daughters.
Shortly before 1790, and probably during 1788 or 1789, Gilbert"
Tippett bought 100 acres of land in the town of Ballston, Saratoga
Co., from "Gysbert Fonda," of Albany. This land was located at a
country cross roads, now called McBride's Comers, and about one
mile west of Court House Hill. He built his new home on the north-
west comer, about 20 rods back from the east and west road and 10
or 15 rods back from the north and south road. This homestead lot
contained fifty acres and the remaining fifty acre lot was on the
southwest corner. He also secured another fifty-acre lot adjoining
this latter lot on the south and along the west side of the road. He
built a house on each lot and these houses became the homes of his
three sons when they married. James, '^ the eldest son, lived with
his parents on the northwest corner; Stephen" lived on the south-
west corner, and John" on the lot south of Stephen.*
Here Gilbert^ Tippett spent many prosperous years with his
children and grandchildren about him. As a pioneer in this new
rountrv, which was still infested vi'ith wild beasts and savages, he
had toiled together with his sons in clearing and subduing the wilder-
ness, until he had largely recovered from the financial reverses suf-
fered during the Revolutionary War. He not only owned this land,
but was also able to loan considerable sums of money to his neigh-
bors, when ready cash was much rarer and had a far greater pur-
chasing power than at present. This remarkable difference in the
purchasing power of a dollar is well illustrated in the inventory of
his personal estate made in 1828, and which is as follows: i black
cow, $id.oo ; I red do., $10.00 ; one yellow do.. $8.00 ; i pair 3 yr. old
stears, S26.00; l two yr. old heifer, ;g7.00; 2 two yr. old heifers,
$10.00; I three yr. old heifer, $10.00; 14 sheep, $26.00; 4 pigs,
$.1.00: 3 Casks of pork. $18.00; i tub with hogs lard, $2.25; i Cask
with flower, $.75; 2 empty casks, $.25; lot of Aples, $5.00; Cider,
i()20.] The Tiibiits or Tibbells Family. 27 I
$2.50; lot of potatoes, $5.00; 2 hogsheads, $1.51 ; Cash, $326.74; i
note by John & Jonathan Cunda, $100.00; i note by Moses & Peter
Williams, $400.00: Total $977.00. The valuation placed upon the
live stock in this list proves that one dollar then was equal in value
to at least seven or eight dollars now, and that Gilbert's" seemingly
small personal estate was really equivalent to seven or eight thou-
sand dollars nowadays.
On Dec. 28, 1817, Gilbert's* wife died in her 82nd yr., and his
own death occurred on March g, 1828, in his 89th yr. The Ballston
Centre church records state that he was 89 yrs. of age, so that it
is a little uncertain whether he was Ixjrn in 173S or 1739; but prob-
ably in the latter year. In his old age the wife of his son James*
(Jannet, or Jane, as he calls her in his will), ministered to his wants
for many years, for which service she was esj^ecially remembered in
his will. She enjoyed this bequest, however, only a few years, for
she died in Sept., 1832, and her husband followed her in 1838. All
of these, as well as other members of the family, are buried in a row
near the center of the east side of the old Hop City cemetery, a half-
mile or so west of their home. This cemetery is now so overgrown
with trees and bushes that it is difficult to locate the tombstones of
those buried there.
When Gilbert' died, he left his real estate to certain of his
grandsons. His old homestead went to William,' the son of James,'
the southwest corner lot to Stephen's* son, Stephen,' Jr., and the
southern lot to John's* son, James,' 2nd. Stephen,' Jr., sold his lot,
the next year after obtaining it, to his cousin, James,' 2nd, who, in
1833, sold the entire 100 acres to Jonathan ilcBride, after whom
the comers were named. Undoubtedly it should have l>een called
Tippett's Comers instead, for the Tippetts were the first settlers
there, and members of this family occupied the original homestead
for more than 75 vrs., and until the death of James B.' Tippitts in
Aug., 1866.
There are now no buildings remaining around this place, and the
original homestead on the northwest corner is marked only by two
old wells and traces of the bam foundation and barnyard wall. For
many years previous to Dec, 1838, three men named James Tippett
were jiving at this place at the same time, viz. : Gilbert's' son,
James,* Sr., and his grandsons, James,' the son of John* and James
B..' son of James,* Sr. To distinguish them apart, John's* son was
called Tames,' 2nd or James,' Jr., probably bwause he was 2nd as
regards age. while Tames B.,' who was the true James, Jr., was nick-
named Ivong Jim.
In presenting the genealogy of Gilbert'^ Tippett's descendants, it
is much regretted that there has been time and opportunity for mak-
ing the record fairly complete as regards the descendants of his
son John* only, with a very good account also of those of his eldest
son Tames.* The records of the Presbyterian Church at Ballston
Center show that in Feb.. 1820. three young woman named "Mary,^
Catherine' and Susan' Tippeti" were received into membership.
They must have been Gilbert's' grand-daughters and children of
2/2 The Tibbitls or Tibbetts Family. [July
James' or Stephen.' These records also show that Mary^ died
later and that Catherine/ who had recently become the wife of
James Favill, was on Jan. i6, 1821, granted a letter of dismissal to
the church at "Salisbury, N. Y." There is no way of determining
with exactness just where to place these three girls in our gene-
alogy, but the probabilities are that most, if not all of them, were
the daughters of James." This is indicated by the fact that the
family of James" seems to have been more of a church-going family
than that of Stephen," and by the manner in which they were men-
tioned together as though they were sisters. The genealogy, as far
as it has been gathered, is as follows, bearing in mind that Gilbert'
belonged to the fifth generation of the ancient Yonkers family, as
shown in part first of this history.
I. Gilbert' Tippett and his wife Susannah Glover. Gilbert'
was b. about 1739; m. Susannah Glover in Aug., 1759; he lived
on Spuyten Duyvil Neck, Westchester Co., N. Y., and in the
town of Ballston, Saratoga Co., N. Y., a«d d. in Ballston,
March 29, 1828, in his 89th year. Children: 4 (Tippett) sons,
viz.:
2 i. Peter,' b. at some time during 1760-1765, and was
still living in Aug., 1770, when Keziar Baxter Glover
mentioned him in her will. He d. before June, 1784.
+3 ii. James," b. about 1766 in Yonkers, N. Y. ; m. Jarmet
Bradford before 1792; he lived on his father's old
homestead, northwest of Ballston Center. N. Y., and
d. there "December 4, 1838 in the 73d year of his
age." He had at least two sons and probably sev-
eral daughters.
+4 iii. Stephen." Exact date of his birth is unknown ; but,
as it occurred after 1766 and before Aug., 1770, he
was b. probably in 1768-1769. He m. Anna Sher-
wood, daughter of Amos Sherwood of Charlton ; he
had at least two sons and possibly one or more daugh-
ters ; he d. subsequent to 1832, at a time and place un-
known to the writer. He resided at Ballston Center,
N. Y., and at Shaftsbury. Vt., and perhaps also near
Syracuse, in Onondaga County, N. Y.
-|-5 iv. John," b. some time during 1769-1773. If there were
already four sons in the family, rather than three,
when in Aug., 1770, Keziah Glover refers to Peter" as,
"the eldest son of my grand-daughter Susannah Tip-
pett," then Stephen" Tippett may have been b. later in
1767 or early in 1768. and John" in 1769 or early in
1770. We think it, however, more likely that John"
was b. about 1771. He m. Mary Talmage. eldest child
of Enos Talmadge, of Ballston, before 1797. and he
died between Sept. 2. 1830, and May 4, 1834, the
exact time and place of death being unknowTi. He
lived in the town'; of Ballston and Milton, Saratoga
County, N. Y., and had 12 children.

3. James" Tippett was apparently the strongest character among
the sons of Gilbert^ and Susannah (Glover) Tippett, and was
the chief comfort of his parents in their old age. For many
years he and his wife Jannet worked the old homestead and
made a home for Gilbert,'* though probably having little or no
property of their own. They managed to give their sons a
fairly good education for those times, so that one became a suc-
cessful physician and the other a school-teacher. For conve-
nience we will assume that the three Tippett girls who united
with the church in Feb., 1820, were probably sisters and more
likely to belong to this family than to that of Stephen^ Tippett.
Hence we list these girls here, granting the possibility that one
or all of them may have been daughters of Stephen" Tippett
instead of children of James." We thus assume that James"
and Jannet (Bradford) Tippett had five children, viz.:
+6 i. William,' b. April 14, 1792; m. Sarah Newland
(dau. of Joseph Newland), July 11, 1820, and lived
at Mechanicville, N. Y., where he d. July 19, 1874,
aged 82 years. He changed the spelling of his fam-
ily name to "Tibbetts."
+7 ii. James B ', b. , 1808-9; lived on his grand-
father's homestead near Ballston Center, N. Y., where
he "died August 2, 1866, aged 57 years." He m. (i)
? who was the mother of his 4 children; (2)
Melinda Vibbard. He also adopted the spelling "Tib-
betts" for the family name.
8 iii. ( ?) Catharine,' who m. James Favill in 1820 or
1821, and was dismissed to the Salisbury Presby-
terian Church in Jan., 1821 (or 1822).
9 iv. ( ?) Mary.' She was still a member of the Oiurch
in Jan., 1826. OppwDsite her name it is recorded that
she died, but no date of death is given.
10 V. ( ?) Susan.' Though received into the church on the
same date as Catharine' and Mary,' she was no longer
a member under her maiden name in Jan., 1826. She
received a letter of dismissal at the same time as did
Catharine,' but retumed it to the church in 1823. Her
subsequent history is unknown, but she may have
joined her other sister at Salisbury.
It appears most likely that the births of these
three daughters occurred between the births of Wil-
liam' and James B .'
4. Stephen" Tippett, who m. Anna Sherwood, inherited an in-
terest in Amos Sherwood's farm in 1809, and sold it to his
father Gilbert' Tippett for $300 in July, 1812. He was living at
Tippett's (or McBride's) Corners in 1820 and probably had a
home there until his father's death in 1828, though absent him-
self for about three years previous to the latter date. In May,
1832, he was living at Shaftsbury, Vt., to which place he may

have gone soon after his father died. In June, 1857, his wife
was Hving near Syracuse in the town and county of Onondaga,
and is mentioned in a way indicating that her husband was not
then hving (see Saratoga Co. Deeds, Vol. 79, p. 236). How
long Stephen" Tippett remained at Shaftsbury, Vt., and just
when or where he died, we are unable to say.
Children: 2 (Tippett) sons,* viz.:
11 i. Stephen.' He was evidently b. during 1799-1808, for
his grandfather refers to him as a minor in his will
dated Sept. 4, 1820 (See Saratoga Co. Wills, Vol. 8,
p. 126), and he must have been an aduU before Aug.,
1829, when he sold his inheritance to his cousin
James," 2nd, Tippett (see Deeds, Vol. X, p. 50). He
was apparently not m. when this sale was made, and
may have joined his parents at Shaftsbury, Vt., but
his subsequent history is not known.
12 ii. Amos Sherwood.' He was younger than his brother
Stephen, but inasmuch as land was deeded to him
in May, 1832, he was evidently b. before May, 181 1.
He may have been b. as early as 1805-7, ^"d his
brother a few years earlier, for there is some rea-
son for believing that he was married in 1828. Ac-
cording to the records of the Dyes Manor Dutch Re-
' formed Church in Schoharie Co., where our Amos
Sherwood' Tippett is beheved to have had numerous
relatives, a certain "Amos Tibbetts" was m. there to
Mary A. Mathews on Sept. 14, 1828. This may have
been Amos Sherwood' Tippett, of Ballston, as we
have not found the name Amos elsewhere in the
Tippett family. From his grandfather Tippett he
inherited the Sherwood lands which his father had
sold, and he, in turn, sold these lands in Dec, 1833,
to Nicholas Cavert. of Charlton (See Deeds, Vol. X,
p. 421). Previous to May, 1832. Amos Sherwood'
had located in the town of Henrietta, Monroe Co.,
N. Y., where he was still living in Dec, 1833, but his
later history is unknown to the writer.
5. John' and Mary, or Polly (Talmage) Tippett. As the fam-
ily of John' Tippett was a large one, and as he had no real
estate of his own, he had a hard struggle to provide for them.
A lack of understanding and absence of sympathy on the part
of some of his relatives also discouraged him and led to more
or less trouble, but his twelve children all survived these early
hardships and filled honorable and useful positions in society.
* While it is barely possible that there were daughters in this family and
also other sons, we think this somewhat doubtful, at least as regards any other
sons. If there had been another son it is fair to presume he would undoubted-
ly have been mentioned in Gilbert^ Tippett's will, in the same manner as three
of the sons of John' Tippett are mentioned.
1920.] The Tibbitts or Tibbetts Family. 275
His home, just south of Tippetts Corners, was close to a large
forest in which still lurked wild beasts and savages. His wife
was a woman of unusual courage, and interesting anecdotes re-
lating to this period are told by one of her grandsons, Fred
H ' Tibbetts, of Charlton. At one time an Indian suddenly
entered her door without knocking as she sat by her table peel-
ing potatoes. She smiled bravely upon him as he advanced to-
ward her with a large knife in his hand, and continued still
smiling as he struck a string of glass beads from her neck, the
keen edge of the knife grazing her tender throat. This exhibi-
tion of iron nerve and cheerful courage undoubtedly saved her
life and caused the savage to depart without further injury to
her. At another time, several Indians visited their home, and,
taking their only pig out of its pen, amused themselves tossing
it upon the low roof of the house and catching it as it rolled
down again. They finally departed, taking the pig with them
without any protest from the owners who were glad to be rid
of them so easily. .
About 1829, John" Tippett seems to have left his old home
at Tippett's Corners, and is mentioned as a resident of the town
of Milton, living in or near Ballston Spa, N. Y. It is known
that early in Sept., 1830, definite plans had been made for his
departure without his family to a city on the lower Hudson
River, and his death occurred either at that place previous to
May, 1834. or at Ballston Spa, early in the fall of 1830, before
removal plans could be carried out. His wife Mary is called
a widow on May 4, 1834, when she united with the church in
Ballston Center, and she, herself, d. in Ballston on January 3,
1861, aged 83 years. She was b. Oct. 14, 1777, and was a
Woman of strong character, highly esteemed and respected by
her numerous friends. The sons of John" and Mary (Tal-
mage) Tippett changed the spelling of the family name to "Tib-
bitts" and "Tibbetts," the first form being used by Daniel' and
William,' and the second form by James,' George,' John,'
Enos' and Gilbert.' This couple had 63 grandchildren, of whom
those in the smallest family had 61 first cousins on their
mother's side alone, not to mention those on their father's side.
Their 12 children were as follows, viz. :
-|-I3 i. Daniel,' b. Feb. 22, 1797; m. Laura Pickett, of Ball-

By John R. Totten.
Editorial Note;— The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society solicits as
donations to its Library all newly published works on GenealoKy, 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 of 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 tioes 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 ist of the previous year; for the April issue, before March ist; for the
July issue before June isl; and for the October issue, before September ist.
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

THE NEW YORK
NEW YORK, OCTOBER, 1920. No. 4
JONATHAN THORNE.
Contributed by Samuel Brinckerhoff Thorne.
Jonathan Thorne, who died January 12, 1920, at his home in
New York City, was the third son and last surviving child of
Jonathan Thorne and Lydia Corse, well-known and prominent
New Yorkers of a generation ago. Born in that city on April 5,
1843, one of a family of ten, five sons and one daughter of which
grew to maturity, New York continued to be his home, and with
that city he was identified throughout his business life.
His was the si.xth generation in descent from William Thorne,
who presumably came from Essex, England, was made a freeman
at Lynn, Mass., May 2, 1638, came to Long Island in 1645, and
on October 19 of that year, was named by Governor Keith one of
the original eighteen patentees of the Town of Flushing, L. L,
which is now embraced within the boundaries of Greater New
York.
The genealogical record of the family shows William and his
wife, Sarah, subsequently residing at Jamaica, L. L, where twelve
years later he appears as one of the proprietors of that town. His
son, Joseph, married Mary Bowne, and Isaac, their son, married
Hanna Haight. The union of Isaac and Hanna was blessed with
abundant progeny, ten in all, William, the seventh child, born in
1744, being the one from whom this branch of the family was
descended.
Probably prompted by the demands of a constantly increasing
family he moved to the country, and in 1689 established himself
in Dutchess County, New York, where with eight other members
of the Society of Friends he organized a group known as the
"Nine Partners" and acquired a parcel of land not far from the
present village of Millbrook.
William married Jemima Titus and became the father of six
children, the third of whom, Samuel, established one of the
pioneer trading posts and general merchandise stores in that part
of the country. He married Phebe Dean, who bore him two
daughters and in 1801 a son, whom he named Jonathan. Thirteen
years later, his affairs having prospered, he purchased a farm of
2S2 Jonathan Thorne. [Oct.
some 600 acres, a few miles from Washington, and built for him-
self a permanent farm and home which he called Thorndale, and
which later became renowned in this country and abroad for its
blooded cattle and its stable of famous trotting horses.
Jonathan's early days were spent here — at nineteen years of
age he came to New York and started in the dry goods business,
returning to Dutchess County three years later, however, to take
charge of the farm which under his management and later that of
his sons, Samuel and Edwin, and later still his grandson, Oakleigh,
was to become a landmark in the County.
His marriage in 1823, with Lydia Ann, daughter of Israel Corse,
prominent in the leather business in New York, doubtless in-
fluenced him to return to the city in 1828 and twd years later he
succeeded his father-in-law as a buyer and seller of leather, with
offices at Jacob and Ferry Streets. Enlarging this well-established
business he soon secured large tracts of hemlock land in Penn-
sylvania, where he established tanneries, becoming through suc-
cessive changes in title, the active head and senior partner of the
firms of Jonathan Thorne & Co., Thorne, Watson, Corse & Co.,
and Thorne, Watson & Co., and retired from active business
in 1880, though still maintaining his interest until he passed
away in 1884.
Jonathan, his third son to reach manhood, was born on April 5,
1843, 3"d his birth marks the day of the family move "uptown "
to Washington Square, from the earlier home on Cliff Street.
This proposed change of abode had been a matter of grave con-
sideration but finally in his father's unerring judgment as to the
future growth of the city, was decided upon as advisable, his
decision being made in spite of the remonstrances of his friends
who felt it a great mistake to move out into the suburbs and who
warned him that his friends would but seldom come to see him in
that distant location.
Young Jonathan grew up at the new winter home at No. 6
Washington Square, spending his summers at the old Thornedale
homestead at Millbrook. He attended first a day school in the
city and later a boarding school near Tarrytown on the Hudson.
When fifteen years of age he entered the Academic Depart-
ment of Haverford College, near Philadelphia, which evidently
appealed to his parents on account of its Quaker origin and
support, but only remained there three years, leaving in 1861 to
learn the leather business in his father's office. These were the
days of the Civil War and though his father's religious convictions
against war prevented his enlisting regularly in the army, he
joined the 7th Regiment of New York National Guards on June
16, 1862, as a member of Company " K," serving till 1864, and
retaining to the end of his life his keen interest in that organi-
zation and the life-long friendships made through connection
with it.
His business life in which he was actively engaged for some
twenty years, was connected almost entirely with the leather
I9I9-] Jonathan Thome. 2%X
trade, in which his father before him had built up such an enviable
reputation. Starting as he did, in a clerical capacity, with Thorne,
Watson & Co., in their offics in New York, he later went to their
tanneries at Thornedale and Laporte, in Sullivan County, Pa., and
learned there the business of tcuining sole leather as it was then
conducted.
Returning to New York, he continued his connection with
Thorne, Watson & Co. until the year 1881. He started a business
house of his own, encouraged and aided by his father, who had
at the age of 80 closed his connection with the former company.
The new firm was known as Thorne, McFarlane & Co., with offices
at 76 Gold Street, New York. Jonathan Thorne, as senior partner,
looked after the office and general business end while McFarlane,
well reputed as a tanner, had supervision over the tanneries in
Pennsylvania, and Samuel and particularly William Thorne, older
and younger brothers, in addition to a financial interest, took a
more or less active part in the management.
The firm continued in business for some years and in the main
prospered; the partnership was dissolved, however, in the late
eighties and was succeeded by that of J. & W. Thorne, Jonathan
and William, who continued to retain McF"arlane in the capacity
of manager at the Laporte tannery and eventually sold out their
business, tanneries and hemlock lands to the U. S. Leather Co, in
the early nineties.
From that time on Jonathan Thorne was not actively engaged
in business, resigning in 1894 from the Phenix Bank and other
business institutions of which he was a director, though main-
taining his keen interest in affairs till his death.
Though he was a successful man of affairs, it is rather for his
loveable and deliphtful traits of character and for his unusual
charm that his friends will long cherish his memory.
While visiting his brother, Samuel, at the old homestead,
Thornedale, as a young man, he first met the lady he later mar-
ried, Harriet Van Schoonho\'en, daughter of William Van Schoon-
hoven, of Troy, N. Y., and his wife, Margaret Brinckerhoff.
Samuel was already married to her only sister, Phoebe, but a few
years older, and it was doubtless the intimacy of the sisters that
tended to cement still stronger the very usual affection which
existed all their lives, between these brothers.
Jonathan was married December 10, 1867, in New York City.
The young couple began housekeeping in a wee bit of a house,
12' 6" frontage, at 44 West 26th Street. In 1870, however, his
father following the growth of the city, once more moved uptown,
this time to 524 Fifth Avenue, and wishing to have Jonathan
near him, aided him to take over the property directly adjoining
him on the north, number 526.
Here were born to him Josephine, who lived but two years,
and Samuel Brinckerhoff — the former in 1868 and the latter in
1873 — Victor, the eldest son, arriving while the family were in
Florence, Italy, in 1871.
284 Jonathan Thome. [Oct.
The family continued to live here until the death of Jonathan
Thorne, Sr., in 1884. Shortly after the two properties were dis-
posed of and together with the corner house adjoining, became
the site of Sherry's Restaurant, now the uptown office of the
Guarantee Trust Co.
In 1880, desiring a country home and attracted by the beauty
of the location, Johathan purchased, with his close friend and
connection by marriage, Thomas W. Pearsall, adjoining pr()perties
overlooking Long Island Sound, at Black Rock, Conn., and built
what was to became his most cherished home. It was his custom
to spend a long summer season at "Schoonhoven " (named for
his wife), and this beautiful estate was the scene of many happy
gatherings that he so dearly loved to provide for his friends. As
the years went on he increased his land holdings and devoted
much of his leisure time to improving this property, farming his
land aud takmg keen delight and pride in the results of his
supervision.
Never again actively engaged in business after he withdrew
from the leather trade, he continued to keep his office adjoining
that of his brother, Samuel, and in the winter months was a
regular attendant there.
The affection of the two brothers for each other, especially as
they grew older, was unusually strong. During the week they
daily lunched together at the Down Town Association and later
in the afternoon almost invariably went uptown together, and
seldom indeed did a week pass unmarked by the Sunday ex-
change of visits between the two households.
Although for many years a member of the Union League and
Metropolitan Clubs, and with a wide circle of friends to whom he
was greatly attached, he was never in any sense a club man but
devoted himself very largely to his family and intimate friends.
He was fond of traveling, the remniscences of the trip he made
to Japan and China in 1883, with his wife and sons, was always a
keen joy to him, as only in a less degaee were the memories of
numerous jaunts to Europe and the Mediterranean.
While not a so-called patron of art, he had a very strong sense
of the artistic and loved to surround himself with attractive
things. He built his final New York house in 1901 on the south
corner of Fifth Avenue and 84th Street and never ceased to take
pleasure in adding to the collection of beautiful things which he
housed there.
In business transactions he was most methodical and exact.
Absolutely honest and straightforward in his own dealings, he
required similar characteristics in those with whom he dealt
and was particularly impatient at any attempt at evasion or deceit.
He had, especially as he grew older, almost perfect control of a
temper, extremely hot when aroused. Never harsh or dominant
in his criticisms, he mellowed more and more in his judgments as
the years went on. Extremely modest and retiring, with a won-
derful courtliness of manner, self-sacrificing to a degree, always
I920.] Van Husen (Van Heusen, Van Hoesen) Genealogy. 285
cheery, he commanded a fund of stories which he told inimitably —
and was constantly thinking of the comfort or happiness of others.
It is not to be wondered at that he was greatly beloved by all
who knew him.
An ideal type of Christian .s^entleman, the last of his gener-
ation, Jonathan Thorne has passed on, leaving as a priceless
heritage to the wife, two sons and five grandchildren who survive
him, the example and loving memory of a useful, generous and
unselfish life.
Jonathan Thorne was elected an Annual Member of the New
York Genealogical and Biographical Society in 191 5 and became
a Life Member in 1916. He manifested during his membership
an active interest in the affairs of the Society, and in his death
the Society experienced a material loss.

GENEALOGY.

No. 93 Guy Park Avenue, Amsterdam, N. Y.
I. Jan Franse' Van Hussem was the first Van Hoesen that
came to America. Documents represent him, his wife, Volke
Jurrianse, and his son Jurian as having settled at Fort Orange
and Beverwyck (now Albany, N. Y.), as early as 1645, where
he made several purchases of land. His principal purchase
was that of the Qaverack land of several hundred acres from
the Mohican Indians which he made on June 5, 1662. This
tract includes the ground on which the city of Hudson is
built and also a part of Greenport. It extended along the
Hudson River from Stockport Creek on the north to the
mouth of Keshna's Kill on the south, which empties into the
South Bay near Mount Merino and on the cast to Claverack
Creek. Here it met the boundary of the Van Rensselaer Pat-
ent, and the priority of title was contested by the Patroon;
but after a long litigation the Court settled the title in favor
of Van Hussem. These lands were confirmed to him by a
patent from Governor Nicoll, at Albany, on May 14, 1667.
The purchase was originally made from an Indian named
Pametepiet (or Pompoenick), his signature being a mark, and
another Indian named Tatan Kenant, whose signature also
was a mark, the purchase price being 500 guilders in beavers.
On June 11, 1664, the sale was confirmed by another Indian
and owner named Sickaneeck (alias Tunis). Van Hussem's
signature was also a mark.

Jan Franse Van Hussem, the patentee, died about 1703,
and letters of administration were issued to his son Jurrian
Aug. 2, 1703 (Book of Deeds VI, p. 199, Albany County
Clerk's Office, New York State). Under the law of primo-
geniture the property passed to his oldest son Jurrian ; but on
Jan. 7, 1704, Jurrian generously conveyed to his brothers and
sister Jacob Jan. Johannes and Katherine, wife of Francis
Hardick, his land lying on and near the river. Francis Har-
dick, when a boy, had run away from Liverpool and shipjjed
on a freighting vessel sailing for Manhattan, thence making
his way to the "Landing," where he obtained employment from
Mynheer Van Hoesan, and afterwards married his daughter.
In the division Jacob Jan,'' received the land to the north-
ward and Johannes that upon the River and South Bay ex-
tending on the north to the road, which formed the boundary
of the Hardick tract. This "wagonway" led from the Ferry
along the line of the present Ferry and Partition Streets to
the Public Square, which it crossed and went on into the in-
terior. The lands of Johannes and Hardicks comprised a
large part of the city of Hudson which has been in continuous
existence as a city since 1785. The Van Hoesen house, on the
site of that occupied by Jan Franse^ Van Hussem, is still
standing near the entrance to the covered bridge north of the
city, bearing the date 1729.

MANWARING FAMILY GENEALOGY.
Compiled by Colonel Charles D. Parkhurst,* U. S. Army,
Member of the New London County Historical Society; Corresponding Member. N. Y,
Genealogical and Biographical Society,
There appears on the early records of New London the names
of three settlers of the name of Manwaring, viz. : Oliver, Thomas
and Peter. Whence came these settlers is as yet not determined,
and as to what blood relation they bore to each other (if any) we
are not at present informed. They, however, were contemporane-
ous in the town, and it is my purpose to take up each one sepa-
rately and give his known record in New London and the record of
some generations of each one's descendants.f

* Colonel Parkhurst has for some years devoted much time to the careful
and exhaustive study of the genealogical records of the early settlers of New-
London, Conn. The material which he has gathered has been taken directly
from the original sources of information available to him, such as Town,
Church and Probate Records of New London, supplemented by the Manu-
scripts in the possession of the New London County Historical Society, and
further elaborated by discriminating extracts from published works on the
various families whose vital histories he has invsetigated. A knowledge of
the character of his work convinces us that his results as set forth in his manu-
script are, in the ultimate analysis, entirely worthy of acceptance by all as the
nearest approach obtainable to perfect genealogical informatiovi.

of whom there has no further record been ob-
tained. She was still unmarried Aug. 11, 1747
Miss Canlkins in her History of Nev.' London states that Peter^
Manwaring appeared in New London shortly before 1700, and
states that he was a mariner and followed the sea assiduously. In
as much as Oliver' Manwaring appeared in New London as early
as 1664, Miss Caulkins assumes that if any relationship existed
between Oliver' and Peter' Manwaring that Peter' was the nephew
of Oliver.' Hempstead's Diary gives abundant evidence that Peter'
Manwaring was a sea-captain making voyages from New London
to various West Indian ports. Hempstead (g) under date of Aug.
9, 1723, states : "News is confirmed from East Hampton of a sloop
cast away in ye great storm (Monday night was seven night) at
Montauket South Side. She is concluded to be a sloop from Mar-
teneco : belonged to Rhode Island : not one soul saved to tell the
news ; four men are already found washed ashore, of which John
Christophers, ye only son of John Christophers, dec'sd, is one, who
sailed hence last winter with Peter Manwaring for Marteneco,
where ye vessel was siezed. It is feared yt Manwaring and George
Plumb and young Gorton were passengers also, and drowned ; all
which is confirmed" and on Oct. 3, 1723, Hempstead states (h) :
"G. Buttolph come home from Martineco, confirms the news yt
Peter Manwaring. George Plumb, John Christophers and young
Gorton came passengers in the Rhode Island sloop yt was cast away
at Montokett in ye gr. Storm in the latter end of July : all ye men
were lost." The widow Mary Manwaring died toward night Oct.
16, 1746, "aged 60 odd," and on Friday, Oct. 17, 1746, she was
buried (i). Miss Caulkins states that Peter' Manwaring was prob-
ably an older brother of Thomas' Manwaring who married Esther
Christophers and who was the ancestor of the Lyme branch of Man-
warings. Administration on the estate of Peter' Manwaring was
granted Thomas' Manwaring. under bond of £1000. on Jan. 18,
1723-4, and on July 9, 1734. Mary Manwaring, daughter of Peter'
Manwaring, chose her brother-in-law Isaac Youngs as her guar-
dian. The inventory of the estate of Mrs. Mary Manwaring was
presented to the Probate Court, Jan. 13, 1746-7. Capt. Titus Hurl-
but, administrator of estate of Mrs. Mary Manwaring renders his
account to the Probate Court, showing £9-9-5 to be divided. This
sum was turned over to Thomas' Manwaring. Aug. 11, 1747,
Thomas' Manwaring receipts for £9.9.0 from estate of Mrs. Mary
Manwaring to be applied for use of Mary- Manwaring, daughter of
Peter' and Mary ( ) Manwaring.

dated May 24, 1768, and was proved June 11, 1768, and he be-
queaths to his wife Love his land and buildings ; to his son Isaac his
best coat and hat ; to his daughter Mary Milliken, 6 large silver
spoons. Hempstead's Diary, p. 260. under date of June 23, 1733,

The will of Thomas^ Manwaring mentions his wife Esther; his
daughter Esther, wife of Nathaniel Plumb; his daughter Lucretia,
wife of Richard Teague ; his daughter Elizabeth, deceased, late wife
of John Christophers "late of Lyme, but now [Nov. 15, 1769] of
Norwich, Conn.;" his son Thomas, and his four other sons, Peter,
John, Adam and Josiah. He appointed his son Peter^ Manwaring
and his friend George Down, both of Lyme, Conn., his executors.
At the Court of Probate, New London, March 11, 1783, a divi-
.sion of the estate of Esther (Christophers) Manwaring, late of
Lyme, Conn., deceased, was made ; it being that part of the estate of
John Christophers (her father), late of New London, which by the
304 Manwaring Family Genealogy. [Oct.
settlement of his estate was apportioned to Esther (Christophers)
Manwaring. This estate was divided amongst the following heirs:
"To the heirs of the body of Esther Manwaring:
To the heirs of Thomas Manwaring, eldest son of Esther.
To Adam Manwaring, son of Esther.
To Josiah Manwaring, son of Esther.
To heirs of Elizabeth [Manwaring] Christophers, daughter of
said Esther.
To heirs of Peter Manwaring, son of Esther.
To heirs of Esther [Manwaring] Plumb, daughter of said Es-
ther.
To heirs of John Manwaring, son of said Esther."
Miss Caulkins in her History of Neiv London, pp. 366-7, sur-
mises that Thomas^ Manwaring was a younger brother of Peter^
Manwaring, and that he was also possibly a nephew of Oliver^ Man-
waring. This surmise is founded upon no direct evidence.

On the Probate Journal New London : Court Dec. 19, 1723, it is
shown that the will of Oliver* Manwaring was exhibited, proved,
etc., and ordered recorded. But it is not to be found on the Court
Record Books, and no Manwaring wills appear in Manwaring's
Digest of Wills (3 volumes published). Miss Caulkins in her His-
tory of New London, p. 367, states : "Oliver Manwaring died Nov.
3, 1723. He was then ninety years old, and had been an inhabitant
of the town about 60 years. His house lot of eleven acres was
bought on the 3rd of Nov., 1664. The nucleus of the homestead,
consisting of the home plot and garden has never been alienated by
the family, but is still in the possession of a descendant in the direct
male line from Oliver." This statement of Miss Caulkins may have
been true when Miss Caulkins wrote her history in 1852. How
true it is now I cannot state.
3o8 Mamvaring Family Genealogy. [Oct.
Hannah (Raymond) Manwaring connected herself with Mr.
Bradstreets' church in 1671, at which time four of her children
were baptized, viz. : Hannah, Elizabeth, Prudence and Love. After
this, all of their children were baptized in the order and dates given
above. All of these children were living at the time of Oliver*
Manwaring's death, and the eight daughters were married and had
families. Oliver' Manwaring bequeathed to his grandson John
Richards (son of his daughter Love- (Manwaring) Richards), all
bills and bonds due him "and particularly that bond which I had
from my nephew Oliver Manwaring in England."
As the will of Oliver' Manwaring does not now appear upon
the Probate Record book in New London, its contents are of course
unknown. When Miss Caulkins wrote her History of Nezv Lon-
don, the original records were then probably available. Some years
ago all the original Probate records were copied into a set of books
and the originals are said to have been sent then to Hartford. In
some way the will of Oliver' Manwaring seems not to have been
copied. The original Journals of the Probate Court were (in 1918)
still on hand in the Probate Court and from those the record shows
that Oliver Manwaring's will was proved Dec. 19, 1723, and or-
dered recorded; hence it should appear in the original Probate Court
Record. The baptisms of all of the children of Oliver' Manwar-
ing as given above all, appear in Blake's History of First Church,
New London (pp. 447, 448, 450, 452, 453, 454, 465).

2. Hannah^ Manwaring, b. ; bap. Sept. 10, 1671, at New
London, Conn.
There is a remote possibility that Hannah^ Manwaring
was the wife "Hannah" (maiden surname not proven by
direct evidence), of John^ Harris (Gabriel,^ Walter'), who
was born June 12, 1663, at New London, Conn., and who died
Jan. 6. 1739-40, at New London, aged about yy (i).
This John^ Harris had a first son (and child) bap. Oliver,
June 24, 1694 (2), and the baptismal name Oliver may indi-
cate a perpetuation of the name of Hannah^ Manwaring's
father. That the name of John Harris' wife was Hannah is
shown by the following Town Record : "Thomas Harris, son
of John and Hannah Harris, was drowned the 21st of Oct.,
1719, and was buried the next day." Hempstead's Diary,
p. 93, states: "Oct. 21, 1719, John Harris's son Thomas was
drowned in swimming ashore by Benjamin Starr's, a few rods
distant." The same authority, p. 360, gives : Sunday, Jan.
6th, 1739-40: — -"This morning old John Harris, aged about
77 was found dead in his bed ; he went to bed well the night
before ; he was the last of the seven generation of that family
and the first that settled at the Harbours Mouth."

At the Probate Court, New London, March 11, 1801, the will
of Christopher-^ Manwaring, late of Montville, Conn., deceased, was

pointed by the will as executor, and declined to serve and John
Manwaring of Montville was appointed administrator. The will
was dated March 25, 1793, and mentions wife Deborah, his son
Robert and his son Christopher, and his sons Asa, Roger, John and
daughters Deborah, Hannah, Sarah, Lois and daughter Elizabeth
Hempstead.
The following is an abstract of the return of distribution of the

322 Maniuaring Family Genealogy. [Oct,
It is impossible to tell whether Lucy' Manwaring bore Eliphalet
Lester any children, as the date of her marriage and the dates of
birth of the children of Eliphalet* Lester are all unknown. There
were probably no children, that lived at least, for in the will
of William^ Manwaring (No. 49), dated Oct. 10, 1770 (52V)
there is no mention either of a daughter Lucy or any of her chil-
dren; but said will does mention his grandchildren (children of his
son David* Manwaring). As this will is a copy made to replace
one burned, it may not have the correct date, and may also be inac-
curate as to all of its contents.

Unlocated Manwarings Found Recorded in New London.
These records are here given in order that this article may give
exhaustive information as to what is to be found in the New Lon-
don records relative to the Manwaring family.
1. George Manwaring, m. Sept. 24. 1767, at New London, Tem-
perance Chappell (see E. C. M., Book II, p. 28). No further
record found in New London.
2. Jabez Manwaring (possibly son of Jabez,' No. 57; Oliver,^
Oliver^) ; he died before March 14, 1825, the date on which his
estate was distributed.
Children: 7 (Manwaring), 3 sons and 4 daughters, as mentioned
in the distribution of the estate, viz. :
I. Richard. 2. Lynde W . 3. Jabez. 4. Elizabeth. 5.
Susan. 6. Mary. 7. Nancy Hart.
3. John Manwaring, who m. Lydia ?
Children: 2 (Manwaring) daughters, recorded in New London,

Lydia and John Manwaring (see F. C. B., p. 543).
This may possibly — but not probably — be the record of
baptisms of children of John- Manwaring, who married
Lydia Plumb on Feb. 4, 1761 (see record No. 7 under head
of descendants of Thomas' Manwaring). But if so, then
these children were baptized as adults, 30 years or more old,
and there is nothing in the baptismal records to suggest such
a fact.

May 29,^1788, and on June 22 of that same year
was received into the Moravian Church.
The Chronicles of a Connecticut Farm, p. 96, states: "On
March 7, 1755, John Christophers of New London, sold his house,
shop, barn and work house to Captain George Mumford of Fisher's
Island" — James Mumford (his son) probably lived on Fisher's
Island until about this date and then removed to New London. All
of James Mumford's children, except the last one. No. 204, were
probably born on Fisher's Island. Both George" and Caleb" Mum-
ford, Nos. 201 and 203, probably died, not married, or at least left
no issue; because their brother Robinson" Mumford, No. 199, un-
der date of Aug. 15, 1801 in a letter acknowledging news of the
death of his brother Caleb" Mumford, at Salem, states that his aged
mother was then still alive, but that he and his son George were the
last of the line of Captain George Mumford.
The exact date of marriage of James Mumford to Sarah*
Christophers is not as yet determined ; but it took place prior to
July 7, 1742, for on that date James Mumford joins with his wife
332 Christophers Family. [Oct.
Sarah Mumford in a deed of land to Roderick Mackowsky of New
London (see Book 13 (1742-3) New London Records).
James Mumford, of New London, made his will Aug. 6, 1773,
and it was proved Sept. 4, 1773, before Gurdon Saltonstall, Judge
of Probate; the will was witnessed by Jeremiah Miller, Roswell
Saltonstall and Allen Christophers, and will was sworn to before
Jeremiah Miller, Justice of the Peace. The will makes no specific
bequests, but directs division of the residuary estate in accordance
with the laws of the Colony. Executors were his wife Sarah, son
Robinson, now residing in the island of Jamaica, and his son-in-
law, Joseph Christophers, of New London.

mourners followed the corps. Mingo and Bela [slaves] and their

termined by me. He was a loyal Frenchman, an
adherent of the Crown when Louis XVI was be-
headed on Jan. 21, 1793; when Lazelle heard the
■ news he painted his house black, and as late as 1912
a part of this house (which was still standing) re-
tained evidence of this black paint. Nicholas Laz-
elle made his will Oct. 23, 1806, and in it he men-
tions his wife Ruth, also mentions Sarah Burgis,
Jr., Ruth Burgis and George Thomas Burgis, chil-
dren of Thomas and Sarah° (Deshon) Burgis, of
Guilford, Conn., his wife Ruth Lazelle was made
Executrix.
Children : (Lazelle) none that are known of and
none are mentioned in the will of either Ruth'*
(Deshon) Harris-Lazelle, nor in that of her hus-
band, Nicholas Lazelle.
After the massacre in St. Domingo, several
families from there settled in Guilford, Conn.

Among them was Nicholas Lazelle ; he was late of
the Island of Guadaloupe, West Indies, as stated
in his will. Ruth (Deshon) Harris-Lazelle made
her will May 4, 1824, and it was probated May 24,
1824. In it she mentions Noah Fowler, Jr., of
Guilford and his wife Ruth; her sister Sarah''
(Deshon) Burgis, wife of Thomas Burgis fSee

The Descendants of James Rogers of New
London, p. 133, states that Lucretia'^ (Deshon)
Thomas m. (2) Nicholas Loyal, but gives no fur-
ther particulars relative to this marriage. This
same authority states that her first husband was
Simeon Harris, of Norwich, Conn. This latter
statement is we know, incorrect, as her first hus-
band was Simeon Thomas (not Harris). I am in-
clined to the belief that the statement as to her sec-
ond husband is also an error, as I think the author
of James Rogers and his Descendants, got Ruth^
Deshon (No. 223) and her sister Lucretia"' Deshon
(No. 224) confused, as regards their marriages.
We know (see record No. 223) that Ruth= Deshon
m. (i) David Harris and m. (2) Nicholas Lazelle
342 Christophers Family. [Oct.
and we know that Lucretia^ Deshon (No. 224) m.
Simeon Harris. The Nicholas Loyal mentioned as
the second husband of No. 224, is we think, a con-
fusion of names with that of Nicholas Lazelle who
m. No. 223.
Nicholas Lazelle the second husband of Ruth
(Deshon) Harris, made his will dated Oct. 23,
1806, but we have no record of its date of probate
(see Guilford, Conn., probate records Vol. 17, p.
76). He may possibly have long outlived his wife
and may possibly be the Nicholas Loyal said to
have been the second husband of Lucretia°
(Deshon) Thomas, but we do not think that such
was the case. The will of Mrs. Ruth Lazelle (No.
223) was dated May 4. 1824, and proved May 24,
1824, and in it she makes no mention of her hus-
band, Nicholas Lazelle, which she undoubtedly
would have done if he had been living at that date.
Simeon Thomas did not die until July 2, 1834, and
if Lucretia'* (Deshon) Thomas (No. 224) married
a second time it must have been after July 2, 1834;
and if to Nicholas Loyal (meaning undoubtedly
Nicholas Lazelle) it was to a man who made his will
in 1806 and who was not mentioned in the will of
his wife (or rather most likely his widow) which
was dated May 4, 1824, so I conclude that Lucretia'^
(Deshon) Thomas did not marry a second time.

the Island of Guadaloupe ; he was a merchant ; d.
June 21, 1812, drowned at sea. His parentage is
as yet not determined. The New London Vital
Records state : "James Cezane a native of Mar-
seilles in France married Lydia Deshon." James
Cezanne, Nicholas Loysell and Thomas Burgis were
respectively the 5th, 6th and 22nd signers of the
membership roll of Christ Church (Episcopal) in
Guilford, Conn., on Jan. i, 1804. Dr. Alvan Tal-

1920.] Archibald Robertson's Portrait of Washington. 345
ARCHIBALD ROBERTSON'S PORTRAIT OF
WASHINGTON.
Contributed by Tarrant Putnam,
No. I West 72nd Street, New York City.
In the Genealogical and Biographical Record for April, 1920,
there appears an interesting and valuable article on Archibald Rob-
ertson, the miniaturist. Several errors have crept therein and, that
they may not be perpetuated, I beg space to make some corrections
and additions thereto. That I am qualified to speak with authority
rests upon the fact that I am a great-grandson of the artist, and
the owner of the Washington portrait which claims so considerable
a space and consideration at the hands of the writer, Mrs. Goddard,
my aunt.
(i) The exact date of Archibald Robertson's birth was May
8, 1765.
(2) The portrait of Washington by Archibald Robertson was
painted from life in 1798, and remained in the artist's possession in
his residence, 79 Liberty Street, New York City, until his death,
December 6, 1835. It then passed to his wife, who took up her resi-
dence in Amity Street, where it remained until she removed to the
home of her son. Judge Anthony L. Robertson, in Thirty-second
Street, West of Sixth Avenue, where it remained until her death,
April 5, 1863. Judge Robertson then became its owner and it ac-
companied him to his new residence in Twenty-second Street, just
West of Sixth Avenue, where the portrait remained until his death,
December 18, 1868. L^pon the division of his personal effects by lot
among his kindred, Mrs. Craft (formerly Mrs. R. N. Timson), his
sister, and the vouiigcst daughter of the artist, drew the Washing-
ton portrait and removed it to her residence, 54 East Thirty-fourth
Street, where it remained until her death, December 30. 1892. Mrs.
Craft made her will May 18, 1885, wherein she gave the Washing-
ton portrait to the New York Historical Society, which gift, how-
ever, by a codicil dated January 25, 1889, was revoked, and the por-
trait was given to me, her grand-nephew. Both instruments were
drawn by lawyers unknown to me, and the portrait remained in Mrs.
Craft's house until her will was probated and the title to it was
legally vested in me.
One thing it is necessary to emphasize. The Washington por-
trait was only slightly injured in unimportant parts, mainly the
right shoulder, and was perfectly restored; and the misfortune which
overtook it certainly did not hasten Mrs, Craft's death, for she did
not die until two or three years afterwards of pneumonia. Mrs.
Goddard's youthful admiration of this portrait must have arisen
when it was in the possession of her grandmother and not her aunt,
for Mrs. Craft only became its owner in 1868. And also needing
346 The Tibbitts or Tibbetts Family. [Oct.
correction is the statement that Mrs. Goddard was the youngest
daughter of the youngest daughter of Archibald Robertson, for as
a matter of fact, Mrs. Craft was the youngest daughter and Mrs.
Goddard's mother, Mrs. Winslow, was an elder sister.
Sooner or later, this Washington portrait will become a highly
valued public heritage, and the object of this contribution is not to
minimize the valuable contribution of Mrs. Goddard, but to correct
and perfect the details concerning the ownerships of the painting
and to remove the impression that this likeness has come down to us
in a much damaged and restored state. As it now appears, it is in
an excellent state of preservation and the slight injury it received
cannot be noticed. The colors are as bright today as when first
painted, and it is accepted as an excellent likeness of Washington
just as he looked in private life a year before his death, and my
great-grandfather, the artist, has written that Washington had dis-
carded his dentures at the time of the sitting.

7. James B ' Tibbitts and his first wife, whose maiden name
and parentage are unknown. She was the mother of all of his
children. James B ' was over six feet tall and hence his
nick-name of "Long Jim." Unfortunately, no living descen-
dant can recall the name of his first wife, and hence in the ab-
sence of any known record we are obliged to omit it. It is
known that she became in.^^ane and. wandering away from home,
never returned again, having perished in some unknown place

and by some unknown cause. James B ' worked his farm
in summer and taught school in winter. For many seasons he
taught in the district on the Middle Line road near the old Gor-
don farm. Some 5 or 6 years ago, one of his former pupils re-
lated in a Schenectady newspaper many interesting stories in-
cidental to his work as a teacher. As the school was large and
the pupils unruly, he averaged several whippings each day.
Many of the girls wore bustles in those days, and when one of
the boys found one that some girl had lost, he tied it under his
coat-tail and marched into the school-room. The teacher
promptly demanded its surrender and threw it into the stove.
The next day this boy appeared with another bustle which he
had heavily charged with powder. When "Long Jim" threw
this bustle into the large box stove, the stove and contents were
scattered about the room and the school had to adjourn for
that day. At another time, Alonzo Comstock, who afterwards
married a daughter of the teacher's cousin, John' Tibbetts, Jr.,
had been whittling industriously until hq had a large pile of
shavings all about him under his desk. As he stood up to
recite, William Ellsworth dropped a lighted match into the
shavings through a knot-hole, and the school took a recess while
the fire was being put out and young Ellsworth was properly
attended to. Such strenuotis experiences in winter and equally
hard work on his farm in summer, may have hastened his com-
paratively early death at 57 years of age. He is buried in the
old Brigg's Cemetery, not far from Ballston Center, beside his
second wife, Melinda Vibbard. who d. April 23, 1884, aged 70

15. Permila' Tippett and her husband Peter Van Woert. Per-
mila,' whose name was pronounced as though spelled Permela,
with the accent on the second syllable, located on a farm near
Candor, Tioga Co., N. Y. After her husband's death she spent
her last years in the home of her sister, Jane Manning, at South
Danby, N. Y. She died a few days after her 88th birthday in
Feb., but the exact year is not positively known. There is a
little difficulty in determining the exact dates of birth and age
1920.] The Tibbitts or Tibbetts Family. 349
of Permila^ and her sister Elizabeth.' According to the Pat-
chen record, Elizabeth" Tippett was born Oct. 4, 1799, while
definite and jxjsitive recollections of a surviving daughter of
Mrs. Jane' (Tippett) Manning, at whose home Permila' died,
would establish Permila's' birth in Feb., 1800, and her death
in 1888. It is evident that both statements cannot be correct,
and that either Elizabeth' was born a year earlier or Permila'
a year later than the above stated years. We have favored the
latter alternative because the date given for Elizabeth's' birth
has been on record in the Patchen family for many years,
while the date claimed for Permila's birth is a matter of mem-
ory only, though strongly and positively asserted. It must
be admitted, however, that the Patchen record itself might
be the result of a faulty memory, in which case we would
have Oct., 1798, for Elizabeth's' birth, and Feb., 1800, for
Permila's' birth. This arrangement would be also a little
more natural and likely as the birth of James' would not then
follow so unusually close to that of Permila,' and there would
be nearly 2 years between them instead of only a little more
than II months.
Permila' married before leaving Ballston and apparently
was still living there in Aug., 1829, when she is mentioned in
local records. As far as we know, she had only 2 (Van Woert)
children, viz. :
44. i. Henry ,^ b. in 1823 ; he is known to have
married and to have had at least one child and
possibly others. About 50 years ago, and prob-
ably during 1867-70. he removed to some place in
Texas now unknown to his surviving relatives of
New York State. His known child was:
i. James' Van Woert, of Texas. Residence not
known.

lated to his son Fred, concerning his mother's experiences with
the Indians were undoubtedly related to him directly by her
and therefore were correct and reliable. He had 7 children

Corrections:
On page 266 of this volume with reference to Thomas^ Tippett of North
Castle, N, Y., — it appears that he must have had a son James' Tippett, for in the
second edition of /V. K in the Revolution, the First Regiment of Westchester
County Militia, which served in the Revolutionary War contained amongst its
enlisted men, Thomas Tippet and James Tippet.
On page 273 of this volume, under the records of William' and James B '
Tippett (Records Nos. 6 and 7 respectively), — it should read in both instances
that they adopted the spelling of their family surname Tibbitts (not Tibbetts
as printed).

560 Notes on the English Ancestry of George Clinton, [Oct,
NOTES ON THE ENGLISH ANCESTRY OF GEORGE
CLINTON, FIRST GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK.
Contributed by Dr. Joseph M. Beatty, Jr.,
GouGher College^ Baltimore, Md.
Family traditions are frequently shattered by the modern investi-
gator, but, in the case of the Clinton family of New York, they are
corroborated by recent research.
General James Clinton, son of Colonel Charles Clinton, the emi-
grant ancestor, left a paper, now in the State Library at Albany,
N. Y., which was copied for me by Mrs. George Clinton, of Buffalo.
In this paper. General James Clinton says: 'T have heard my
father say that, I believe it was his father or grandfather that left
England in the time of the war between the King and Parliament,
as he joined the Loyalists. He went to France, from that to Spain
and then back to Scotland, where he married one of the name of
Kennedy, and that GoV Clinton* on hearing their progenitors al-
lowed they were of one family, as one branch of the family was
lost at that time."
Colonel Charles Clinton used the same arms as those borne by
the Clintons, Earls of Lincoln.
Governor George Clinton, afterward Vice-president of the
United States, made the following entry in his family Bible: "Sir
William Clinton, father of James and grandfather of Col. Charles
Clinton, was a Royalist; and, in the troubles of Charles the H's
reign, fled to France, from thence to Spain, from whence he went to
Scotland, and married a Miss Elizabeth Kennedy ; he soon after
went to his estate in Ireland. 'Glengary.' Sir William died when
his son James was two years old."
The English Army Lists and Commission Registers, 1661-1714,
in four volumes, edited by Qiarles Dalton, London, 1892, gives the
following information. In the list of the companies of Sir Robert
Harley's Regiment at Dunkirk, which sailed from there in Decem-
ber, 1661, a Major Fiennes is named (see p. 9). On 8 October,
1663, "Captain Finnes als. [alias] Clinton." was in the Tangier Regi-
ment of Foot {ibid. p. 33). A little later "Capt. W" Ointon's Com-
pany, alias Fiennes" is mentiimed in the Earl of Teviot's Regiment
of Foot at Tangier {ibid. p. 38). On 3 July, 1666. Capt. W™ Fines
was commissioned Lieutenant in a newly raised company in the so-
called Holland regiment, Robert Sydney, Colonel, William Killi-
grew's Company.
In the Historical Rrcord of the First or Royal Regiment of Foot,
by Richard Cannon. London, 1847. it is stated (p. 50), that in 1655
the King of France negotiated a treaty with Oliver Cromwell, in
* That is the Honorable George Clinton, First Governor of New York,
and a descendant of the Earls of Lincoln.
I920.3 First Governor of New York. 36 E
which it was agreed that a body of Cromwell's troops should go to
Flanders to unite with the French in their operations against the
Spaniards. As a result of this treaty, King Charles II combined his
interests with those of Spain. The Duke of York went to Spain,
where he obtained a commission in the army and, most significant
as regards our investigation, the greater part of the royalist troops
that had escaped from England, transferred their services in 1657
from the army of France to that of Spain. The Cavalier gentlemen
who transferred their services in this way were formed into a troop
of Horse Guards.
In 1660, Dunkirk was ceded to England, and the British troops
that had been in the service of Spain were placed in garrison there.
From the preceding account, it is clear how William Clinton haj)-
pened to be in Dunkirk in 1663. We have here also the explanation
of his going to France and thence to Spain, which both General
James and Governor George Clinton had heard of as a family tra-
dition. They apparently had not heard of the expedition to Tan-
gier ; but this is not strange when we remember that William Clinton
died when his son was only two years old.
The alternative use of the surnames Fiennes and Ointon estab-
lishes at once the connection of William Clinton (alias Fiennes) with
the Earls of Lincoln, who had used both these names since the mar-
riage, in the fifteenth century, of John, 5th Baron Clinton, with
Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Fynes, Lord Dacre of Hurstmon-
ceaux.
William Clinton's precise identity, however, is in dispute. He
is stated by one authority to have been the son of Sir Thomas Clin-
ton, son of Edward, ist Ear! of Lincoln. Sir Thomas, it is said,
was in 1618 seated in Dowdstown. in Ireland. His wife was Mary,
daughter of John Tirrel, Esq., of Warley. Co. Essex. They had two
children, William and Margery, the latter of whom was already
married in 1618. The same authority states that Sir William Clin-
ton died in Glenwharry, Ireland (see Genealogies of Southern New
York and the Hudson River Valley, edited by Cuyler Reynolds,
New York. 1914, p. 542).
Arthur Collins, in his Peerage (edition 1768, III, pp. 80-1). does
not give the children of Sir Thomas Ointon, but gives a William
Clinton, "who departed this life without progeny," as the son of
Sir Henry Clinton "generally called Fynes," who was the son of
Henry, 2nd Earl of Lincoln. Since Sir Henry Fynes (Clinton) was
married to Elizabeth Hickman, mother of this William, on March
3. 1624, this William Clinton could not have been much over thirty-
five years old in 1663.
I have not been able to discover the authority for the article m
the Genealogies of Southern New York, etc.; but lacking other
proof it would seem more probable that the active soldier in 1663
was nearer thirty-five vears old than sixty years of age as he would
have been if he' were' the son of Sir Thomas Clinton by his wife
Mary Tirrel.
362 Society Notes. [Oct.
At present, we have the choice of calh'ng Collins in error, or as-
suming that William Clinton was well past middle life when he
married. I should be glad to be put in possession of any facts that
will identify beyond question the progenitor of the Clintons of New
York. In any case, however, the use of the alternative surnames
Qinton and Fiennes by their ancestor, and the use of the particu-
lar coat-of-arms borne by Colonel Charles Clinton, prove the descent
of the New York Chntons from the Lxirds Clinton.

Society was held at the Society's hall on Friday evening, April 16, 1920, at 8.30

ber; Mrs. William Frederick Stafford, Plaza Hotel, N. Y.City, Annual Member.
Mr. Whiting then introduced the speaker of the evening, Worthington
Chauncey Ford, LL.D., of the Massachusetts Historical Society, who addressed
the Society on the subject of "Aaron Burr."
At the conclusion of Mr. Ford's address, Hamilton Bullock Tompkins
moved that the hearty thanks of the Society be extended to Mr. Ford for his
interesting and instructive review of the life of Aaron Burr; this motion was
seconded by George Riker Bishop, Esq., who made a few felicitous remarks,
after which the motions were unaminously carried.
The meeting then adjourned to the Library for refreshments.
A Regular Meeting of the Society was held at the Society's hall on Friday
evening, May 14, 1920, at 8.30 P. M., the President, Clarence Winthrop Bowen,
presiding.
The following announcements were made, viz: — Since the last meeting of

Walter Kerr, Annual Member, died April 24, 1920, in his 68th year.
The Executive Committee reported the election of the following named

a lecture, illustrated by stereopticon views, entitled: "Colonel Benjamin
Tallmadge of the Revolution."
At the conclusion of Mr. Montgomery's lecture, Mr. Bowen introduced
Rear-Admiral Mark Kerr of the British Navy, who made a most interesting
address to the members, reciting many incidents demonstrating the cordial
relations existing between officers and men of the British and American navies,
both in past times and during the late great war.
Mr. Edward McKinstry Whiting moved that a hearty vote of thanks be
extended by the Society to Mr. Montgomery for his interesting and instructive
lecture, which motion was seconded by Capt. Richard Henry Greene, and
thereupon unanimously carried. Remarks were made pertinent to the dis-
cussion by Capt. Richard Henry Greene and Mr. James Benedict. Mr. George
SAMUEL PUTNAM AVERY
The Board of Trustees, with full appreciation of the Society's
great loss, announce the death of our fellow member, Samuel Putnam
Avery, who departed this life at his home in Hartford, Conn., on
September 25th, 1920, in the 73rd year of his age.
Mr. Avery was a Life Member of this Society and a Vice-
President thereof, and during his association with the Society
evinced the greatest interest in its progress and development, and
demonstrated that interest, in recent years, by donations to the
Society to the amount of $30,000, thus constituting himself the
greatest material benefactor which the Society has had during its
history. In addition to these material benefactions, Mr. Avery was
largely interested along those lines which constitute the principal
objects for which this Society was established; and therefore the
Society not only loses a valued benefactor, but the genealogical
world also loses an active and capable worker.
To the infinite regret of the Board of Trustees, Mr. Avery's
death came at a time when the entire administrative and executive
body of the Society was absent on its summer vacation, and there-
fore no representative body of the Society was able to be present at
his funeral obsequies. This was doubly regrettable to the Board of
Trustees as its members each and individually lost by his death a
capable and helpful official associate and a warm personal friend.
At a Special Meeting of the Board of Trustees the following
resolutions in connection with Mr. Avery's death were unanimously
adopted: —
Whereas: The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society
has lost by the death of Samuel Putnam Avery, on September 25, 1920,
a valued member, an efficient and capable Vice-President, a warm friend
and a most generous benefactor, it is hereby, —
Resolved: That in the death of Samuel Putnam Avery the Society
recognizes and hereby with great grief records its sorrowful appreciation
of this irreparable loss. In Mr. Avery's death the Society has lost a most
valued friend and member, a most efficient and capable official and its
most generous benefactor; and the genealogical world has suffered in the
loss of an interested and active worker. The Board of Trustees of the
Society has in Mr. Avery's death, experienced the loss of the warm
personal friendship which existed between him and that body, which loss
will remain in ever existing memory.
Resolved: That a copy of these resolutions be recorded in the
archives of the Society and that a copy be transmitted to the family of
Samuel Putnam Avery, to whom, in the name of this Society, the Board
of Trustees hereby conveys its sense of irremediable sorrow occasioned
by Mr. Avery's decease, and an expression of its sympathy in their
bereavement.
192a] Book Reviews. ■j6i
Riker Bishop moved that the thanks of the Society be tendered to Admiral
Kerr for his highly appreciated remarks, which motion was duly seconded and
carried unanimously.
The meetmg then adjourned to the Library for refreshments.
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 of 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 beat once
placed upon the shelves of its library and will be reviewed in the next subsequent issue of Thb
New. York Gene.ilogic.^l and Biogkaphical 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 no/ 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 Decemberisl of the previous year; for the April issue, before March ist; for the
July issue before June ist; and for the October issue, before September ist.
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 Rkcokd.
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.
Sherman Genealogy, by Thomas Townsend Sherman. 8vo, cloth, pp.
475, including full name index and with 122 illustrations of family interest.
Published, 1920, by Tobias A. Wright, 150 Bleecker .Street, N. Y. City. Price,
cloth, $15.00; half Morocco, $25.00. Address: publisher.
We are especially gratified to receive as a donation this most valuable
genealogy, as we have watched its progress to completion with more than
ordinary interest. The first edition of the work was entirely printed and bound
and in the hands of the binder for delivery to the author on Nov. 23, 1919,
when, by a disastrous fire in the bindery the entire edition was destroyed.
Most fortunately the author had in his possession his own loose leaf copy of the
work as it came from the hands of the printer. Without loss of time, the work
was again put in the printer's hands and in June, igo, was once more ready
for delivery to its subscribers. It is to be hoped that this second edition may
be disposed of almost as rapidly as was the first, but with far greater satis-
faction to the author.
A somewhat intimate knowledge of the great amount of time and care
which Mr. Sherman has expended upon the compilation of this first-class
genealogical essay, t-nables us to vouch for the excellence of the subject matter
therein contained. The work gives extensive sketches of the Sherm.^n families
in Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk, England, and the records of some of the de-
scendants of the immigrant ancestors, Capt. John Sherman, Reverend John
Sherman, Edmund Sherman and Samuel Sherman, and oi the descendants of
Honorable Roger Sherman and Honorable Charles R. Sherman.
Suffice it to say that the volume will take its place amongst the standard
genealogical works of the day.
The name of the publisher is a guarantee of merit as to typographical
excellence in all particulars, and the illustrations are such in number and merit
as to greatly enliven the prosaic details which comprise the genealogical per-
fection of the volume. Beyond question the work should be on the shelves of
all libraries that make any pretence to cater to the growing interest in family

history. All those of Sherman blond will of a certainty secure this volume
without delay. Our congratulations are extended to the author on the praise-
worthy perseverance which, under unusual difficulties, has enabled him to
bring his genealogical life-work to a splendid completion. Finis coronal opus
The Blaine Family. James Blaine, Emigrant, and his children,
Ephraim, .\lexander, William, Eleanor. Compiled and edited by John Ewing
Blaine, Lenox Place, Cuicinnati, Ohio, ig2o. 8vo, cloth, pp. gg-f-g pp. of name
index, illustrated with portraits and other plates of family interest. No price

History of the New England Society of Charleston, South
Carolina, for 100 Years, iSig-igig. Compiled from original sources by
Rev. William Way, Rector Grace P. E. Church, Charleston, S. C, and gth
President of the Society. 8vo, cloth, pp. 307, including name index and
numerous portrait illustrations.
An excellent historical work, which on account of its numerous bio-
graphical sketches, is rendered valuable to all students of genealogy who are
interested in individuals who were identified with this particular State, and
who at the same time were of New England extraction. Recommended to
genealogical and biographical libraries.
The Last of the " Mayflower," by Rendel Harris. 8vo, cloth and
boards, pp. t22. Price, S2.00. Address: publishers, Longmans, Green and Co.,
4th Ave. and 30th Street, N. Y. City.
This volume was written with a view to outline the history of this historic
Pilgrim ship, from its earliest to its latest known voyage. It thus appears at
an opportune moment, as this country is now preparing to celebrate the 300th
anniversary of the most remarkable voyage of the " Mayflower."
A Historic Skistch of the Sheldon Family, prepared and read by
Harry Walters Sheldon, of No. 63 High Street, Youkers, N. Y., at the second
annual re-union of the Sheldon Family at Rupert, Vermont, on August 8, I912.
8vo, cloth and boards, pp. 20. No price stated.
While of no great genealogical volume, the little essay contains much of
interest to those of Sheldon blood.
Epher Whitaker of Southold, Long Island, N. Y. 8vo, cloth, pp. 68.
Published as a memorial by the Presbytery of Long Island, N. Y. Address;
E. B. Whitaker, Southold, N. Y. No price stated.
A fitting tribute to one so long and so well known and respected on Long
Island, the special sphere of his usefulness.
Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., Class of 1890. Class Report, by
Alfred Johnson, Class Secretary. Price, g2.oo. Address: Author, No. 36 iMon-
mouth Street, Brookline, 47, Mass.
A most excellent class book. It gives a brief, yet comprehensive ontline of
the history of this well-known academy, with full statistics of the class of iSgo.
It is enriched by portraits of many of the i8go class members and is valuable
to genealogists on account of the biographical sketches, which are unusually
replete with recorded vital facts relative to the class members.
It will be of value to genealogical and biographical libraries.
The Wildes Family of Burlington County, New Jersey, by Charles
Shepard, P. O. Box 302, Troy, N. Y. Blue print chart. Not for sale.
This chart gives the descendants of Abraham Wilds through his son

glad to communicate with any one interested in this branch (or any other
branch) of the Wilds-Wildes family.

INDEX OF MARRIAGES AND MEMBERS,
REFORMED DUTCH CHURCH OF WAWAR5ING.
Compiled by Royden Woodward Vosburgh.
This is a combined index of marriages and members. All names are
listed by entry number, not by page number. The numbers of marriages are
in italics. The numbers of the persons performing the marriages, or the
witnesses, are in black face type. The numbers of members are in regular
type; and the numbers of clergymen whose names appear in the membership
register are preceded by asterisks. The spelling in this index follows the
same plan as the index of baptisms.
Marriage entry numbers i to igo will be found on pages 47 to 58.
Member entry numbers i to 102 " " " " " 58 to 62.
Member entry numbers 103 to 299 " " 138 to 147.
Member entry numbers 300 to 534 " " " " " 233 to 240.
ERRATA ET CORRIGENDA.
The corrections noted here are carried in the Index, as if they had been
printed properly.
The second marriage entry numbered "138" should be "139."
Member No. 285. Note. Should not her name be " Maria?" See baptism
entries, 1396, 1435 and 1456.
Member No. 511. "Harry Laraoree" should be " Harvy Lamoree."

REGISTERS OF PEDIGREES
Form Copyrighted and recommended by this Society
This Society has copyrighted and has for sale a printed blanis genealogical chart called
"Register of Pedigrees." These registers are of two varieties, called "single'* and "double'*
registers, respectively. They are each bound volumes, 11 X 16 inches in size, properly ruled and
printed for the insertion of the names and vital records of ancestors of the individual using the
forms in successive generations.
The " single " Registers consist of 17 leaves {34 pages), and when filled in will give all of the
ancestors of the individual in all ramifications for 9 generations, arranged so that the family name
of each of the 16 great-^reat-grandparents of the individual occupies a full page. Family names
appear on the marginal index, which is formed by the indentation of each leaf. The back of each
leaf is arranged for special memoranda concerning the correspondingly numbered individual on
the front of same leaf.
The "double" Registers are practically two "single" Registers combined, consisting of
34 leaves (68 pages). The object being to permit the individual to devote the inrst half of the
Register to the registration of the complete record of his male line of ascent; the second half for a
like registration of his female line of ascent. The "double" Register therefore provides for the
registration of to full generations in both the male and female lines.
These Registers have been revised and improved in form and a new edition of the same i»
now ready for sale. In this new edition we have issued one-half in the old form of permanent
binding in paper and cloth as heretofore; and one-half in "loose leaf" cloth binding. The loose
leaf cloih binding is an improvement on the old form of permanent binding as it permits the
indehnite extension of the " Register " to include the recording of as many generations of ascent
as the individual can establish.
The entire edition is printed on extra quality of linen ledger paper.

REGISTERS OF PEDIGREES
Form Copyrighted and recommended by this Society
This Society has copyrighted and has for sale a printed blank genealogical chart called
"Register ol Pedigrees." These registers are of two varieties, called "single" ands" double"
registers, respectively. They are each bound volumes. 11 X 16 inches in size, properly ruled and
printed for the insertion of the names and vital records of ancestors of the individual using the
forms in successive generations.
The " single " Registers consist of 17 leaves (34 pages), and when filled in will give all of the
ancestors of the individual in all ramifications for 9 generations, arranged so that the family name
of each of the 16 great-^reat-grandparents of the individual occupies a full page. Family names
appear on the marginal index, which is formed by the indentation of each leal. The back of each
leaf is arranged lor special memoranda concerning the correspondingly numbered individual on
the front of same leaf.
The "double" Registers are practically two "single" Registers combined, consisting of
34 leav 1^(68 pages). The object being to permit the individual to devote the first half of the
Register > the registration of the complete record of his male line of ascent; the second half for a
like registration of his female line of ascent. The "double" Register therefore provides for the
registration of to full generations in both the male and female lines.
These Registers have been revised and improved in form and a new edition of the same it
now ready for sale. In this new edition we have issued one-half in the old form of permanent
binding m paper and cloth as heretofore; and one-half in "loose leaf" cloth binding. The loose
leaf cloth binding is an improvement on the old form of permanent binding as it permits the
indefinite extension of the "Register" to include the recording of as many generations of ascent
as the individual can establish.
The entire edition is printed on extra quality of linen ledger paper.
