NEW  YORK,  APRIL,   1875. 


REV.    JOHN    JONES,    FIRST    MINISTER    OF    FAIRtj. 
CONN.,   1644-1664. 


By  John  J.  Latiing,  of  New  York. 


The  Rev.  John  Jones  was,  as  his  name  imphes,  of  Welsh  extraction. 
The  families  in  Wales  bearing  his  patronymic,  however,  are  so  numerous 
that  an  attempt  to  trace  his  pedigree  from  any  published  records  would 
seem  to  be  a  task  almost  impossible.  He  is  stated  to  have  been  "  Edu- 
cated and  regularly  ordained  as  a  preacher  of  the  Gospel  in  England," 
where  he  married  and  had  several  children.  What  is  said,  in  some  ac- 
counts, of  his  being  identical  with  the  "  Johannes  Jones  "  son  of  William 
Jones,  of  Abergavenny  in  Monmouth,  matriculated  at  Jesus  College,  Cam- 
bridge, April  30th,  1624,  at  the  age  of  17,  is  now  admitted  to  be  entirely 
erroneous. 

As  appears  from  the  interesting  autobiography  of  Rev.  Thomas  She;  .re,. 
he  came  a  fellow  passenger  with  him  in  the  ship  Defence  from  London^j 
landing  at  Boston  3d  Oct.,  1635.  Although  neither  his  name  nor  that 
Shepard  appears  in  the  Custom  House  list  of  passengers  of  the  vessel,  ye 
this  list  contains  the  names  of  Sarah  Jones  aged  34,  Sarah  Jones,  15^ 
John  II,  Ruth  7,  Theophihis  3,  Rebecca  2,  and  Elizabeth  6  months,  un-j" 
doubtedly  his  wife  and  children.  Not  long  after  this  date,  he  is  found  tc 
have  penetrated  through  the  then  wilderness  to  Musketaquid,  afterwards! 
Concord,  and  engaged  with  the  Rev.  Peter  Bulkley  in  the  work  of  estabi 
lishing  there  the  "  12th  Church  of  Christ."  Edward  Johnson  in  his  quainl 
History  of  New  England  or  "  Wonder  Working  Providence  of  Zion': 
Saviour  "  describes  him  as  a  "  Valiant  Leader  of  Christ's  Souldiers,  a  holy 
man  of  God,"  and  has  left  us  this  sonnet  to  his  worth. 


"  In  Desarts  depth  wlieie  Wolves  and  Beares  abide, 

There  yoncs  sits  down  a  wary  watcli  to  keepe 
O'er  Christ's  deare  flock,  who  now  are  wandered  wide  ; 

But  not  from  hini,  wliose  eyes  ne're  close  in  sleepe. 
Surely  it  sutes  thy  melancholly  minde 

Thus  solitary  for  to  spend  thy  dayes, 
Much  more  thy  soule  in  Christ  Content  doth  finde, 

To  work  for  Him,  wiio  thee  to  joy  will  raise. 
Leading  thy  son  to  Land,  )ct  more  remote, 

To  feed  his  flock  upon  tliis  Western  waist : 
Exhort  him  then  Clirist's  kingdome  to  promote; 

That  he  with  thee  of  lasting  joyes  may  tast."

1875.]  J???,  /o/rn  Jones,  First  Minister  of  Fairfield,  Cotm.  eg 

In  the  year  1653,  during  his  uiinistr)-,  occurred  in  Fairfield  that  disgraceful 
and  shameful  proceeding — the  trial,  condemnation,  and  execution  of  Good- 
wife  Knapp,  for  witchcraft,  one  of  the  first  instances  in  New  England  of 
the  tragic  results  of  that  superstitious  delusion.  That  both  the  Pastor  and 
his  wife  were  active  participants  in  this  affair,  is  apparent  from  the  evidence 
given  on  the  trial  of  the  suit  of  Thomas  Staples  against  Roger  Ludlow,  in 
the  following  year.  Ludlow  had  reported  among  other  things  that  Mrs. 
Knapp,  both  before  and  after  her  condemnation,  had  charged  Goodwife 
Staples  with  being  a  witch,  and  he,  lAidlow,  had  also  further  defamed  her 
by  charging  her  with  "  making  a  trade  of  lying."  Hence,  the  husband,  in 
this  suit,  sought  vindication  of  his  wife's  honor,  and  pecuniary  compensation 
for  his  own  and  her  mental  sufferings.  The  proofs  produced  on  this  trial, 
are  the  only  known  record  of  the  proceedings  in  the  witchcraft  trial. 

Mrs.  Lucy  Pell,  wife  of  Thomas  Pell,  testified  that  at  Goodwife  Knapp's 
trial,  she  was  one  of  the  women  appointed  by  the  Court  to  search  the  vic- 
tim's body  for  witchmarks,  and  Mistress  Jones,  the  Pastor's  wife,  was  pres- 
ent, and  pressed  her  to  confess  whether  there  were  any  other  witches  in 
Fairfield.  On  the  day  succeeding  her  condemnation,  and  while  she  lay  in 
prison,  both  the  Pastor  and  his  wife  are  found  visiting  her  ;  it  may  be,  only 
for  her  spiritual  comfort,  but  the  witnesses  say  they  were  continually  urging 
her  to  confess  she  was  a  witch,  and  thus  "  make  way  for  the  minister  to 
do  her  good."  Rebecca  Hull,  the  Pastor's  own  daughter,  in  her  testimony, 
gives  us  a  picture  of  the  mournful  procession  to  the  place  of  execution, 
where  Mr.  Ludlow  and  her  father  are  seen  walking  together  by  her  side, 
still  pressing  her  to  confess  she  was  a  witch.  To  the  credit  and  courage 
of  the  poor  woman,  be  it  added,  she  belied  not  her  dignity  of  womanhood 
by  making  any  such  absurd  admission.  ' 

It  is  presumed  this  Mistress  Jones  was  his  second  wife,  Susanna,  men- 
tioned in  his  will,  and  who  survived  him.  His  first  wife,  Sarah,  as  well  as 
his  son,  Theophilus,  probably  died  in  Concord.  He  himself,  in  1658,  had 
already  attained  to  such  an  age  as  to  require  an  assistant  in  his  pastorate, 
which  the  church  readily  provided.  The  respect  in  which  he  was  at  this 
time  held  by  his  townsmen  and  the  General  Court,  may  be  inferred  from 
the  following  entry  which  the  court  saw  fit  to  make  at  their  session  at 
Hartford,  on  the  20th  of  May,  of  this  year  :  "This  Court  approving  the 
pious  care  of  the  Towne  of  Fairfield  in  procuring  help  for  Mr.  Joanes  by 
his  own  consent  thereunto,  as  far  as  appears  by  a  pap'  p'sented  by  their 
Deputies  to  y"  Court,  doe  order  that  according  to  their  desires,  the  afore- 
said paper  be  kept  amongst  the  Court  papers  &  desire  the  Towne  not 
any  way  thereupon  to  deprive  y""  Rev'nd  ancient  Pastor  Mr.  Joanes  in 
sickness  or  health  of  his  comfortable  maintenance." 

He  died  at  Fairfield,  in  the  month  of  January,  1664,  and  left  the  following 
will: 

January  17,  1664. 

I,  John  Jones,  Pastor  of  the  Church  at  Fairfield  in  New  England,  being 
weak  in  body,  but  of  perfect  memory,  do  make  and  ordain  this  my  last 
will  and  testament. — imprimis,  I  commit  my  soul  into  the  hands  of  God, 
and  my  body  to  be  buried ;  and  as  concerning  my  worldly  goods,  I  dis- 

*  It  may  not  be  out  of  place  to  add  that  the  Court  held  "  that  there  was  no  proof  that  good  wife  Staples 
was  a  witch,"  and  Ludlow,  the  defendant,  was  ordered  to  "pay  ;£io  to  the  husband  for  his  wife's  name, 
and  £s  for  his  tiouble  and  costs." 


6o  ■  Rev.  John  Jones,  First  Minisicr  of  Fairfield,  Conn.         [April, 

pose  of  them  as  follows  ;— First,  my  will  is  that  seven  pounds  be  taken  out 
of  my  estate  which  1  shall  leave  behind  me,  to  be  delivered  to  the  heirs  or 
executors  of  Capt.  Cullick,  sometime  one  of  the  magistrates  m  Connecti- 
cut Jurisdiction,  being  due  to  him. 

Item,  whereas  I  promised  to  my  dear  wife,  Susanna  Jones,  fifty  pounds, 
in  case'l  died  before  her,  and  beside  gave  her  a  silver  bowl  within  a  little 
while  after  that  I  was  married  unto  her,  this  I  do  confirm  by  my  last  will 
that  they  are  due  unto  her  :— moreover,  my  will  is  that  the  said  Susanna 
my  wife,  shall  have  the  use  and  benefit  of  my  twelve  acres  of  land  in  the 
great  meadow,  and  of  my  orchard  in  Fairfield,  during  her  life  ;  and  after 
her  death  that  it  be  divided  equally  to  or  amongst  my  six  children,  John, 
Eliphalet,  and  my  four  daughters,  Sarah  Wilson,  Widow  Ruth  James, 
Rebecca  Hull,  and  Elizabeth  Hill.  .  • 

Item.— I   give  to  my  eldest  son    John,  part  of  my  library,  to  wit,  the 
works  of  Augustine,  Chrisostom,  and  of  other  authors  (usually  called  "the 

Fathers.")  ,  ,        ,  ,      ,    .  . ,       , 

Item  —I  give  the  rest  of  my  goods  undisposed  (my  debts  being  paid  and 

funeral  discharged)  to  be  equally  divided  amongst  my  aforesaid  children, 

John,  Eliphalet,  Sarah,  Ruth,  Rebecca  and  Elizabeth. 

In  witness  whereof,  I  set  my  hand  and  seal  the  day  and  year  aforesaid. 


John  Jones.        :    Seal. 


Postscript  —I  make  and  ordain  my  wife  Susanna  Jones,  sole  executrix 
of  this  my  Will  and  Testament,  and  Mr.  Gold  and  Mr.  Pell,  both  of  1  air- 
field, overseers  thereof. 

The  widow  doth  accept  of  the  place  of  an  Executrix. 
The  widow  makes  oath  that  ihis  is  the  last  Will  of  Mr.  J.  Jones  to  the 
best  of  her  knowledge— this  30th  June,  1665.

Of  the  children,  Sarah  married  Thomas  Bulkley,  son  of  the  Revd.  Peter 
Bulkley  of  Concord.  They  came  with  her  father  to  Fairfield,  where  he 
died  about  1658.  By  him  she  had  a  daughter,  Sarah,  born  at  Concord, 
Aucr  I.  1640.  After  her  first  husband's  death,  she  married  Anthony 
Wifson,  of  Fairfield.  He  died  early  in  1662.  She  subsequently  made  a 
will,  April  26,  1667,  giving  lands  to  her  two  sons,  John  and  Joseph  be- 
sides books  and  other  property  ;  and  to  her  daughters,  Sarah,  wife  of  Elea- 
zer  Brown,  Rebecca,  wife   of  Joseph  Whelpley,  and   Hannah,  books  and 

other  property.  j  r-  1 

loHN  Jones,  son  of  the  Rev.  John  Jones,  graduated  at  Harvard  Col- 
lege in  1643,  in  his  19th  year.  Was  admitted  freeman  at  Concord  in  1645. 
He  is  supposed  to  be  the  "son"  referred  to  by  Johnson  m  the  verses  on 
his  father  above  quoted,  and  is  believed  to  have  subsequently  removed  to, 
and  settled  in  the  Island  of  Nevis,  in  the  West  Indies,  where  he  married 
and  died  prior  to  1673,  leaving  a  son,  John,  who  with  his  mother,  the 
widow,  subsequently  returned  to  New  Haven. '

Elizabeth,  another  daughter,  married  \Villiam  Hill,  of  Fairfield,  and 
survived  her  husband,  who  died  in  16S4.  She  had  five  children,  William, 
Eljphalet,  Joseph,  John,  and  Sarah. 

Ruth,  the  other  daughter,  married James,  but  of  her  or  her  de- 
scendants nothing  now  is  known. 

Ei.iPHALET  Jones,  youngest  son  of  the  Rev.  John  Jones,  was  born  at 
Concord,  January  11,  "1641.  Entered  Harvard  College  in  [662,  but  did 
not  graduate,  probably  by  reason  of  his  father's  death  in  the  second  year  of 
his  course,  and  of  his  limited  means.  In  1669  he  is  found  stationed  at 
Greenwich,  in  Connecticut,  in  which  year  he  is  admitted  to  the  privileges 
of  a  freeman.'  Whether  he  was  here  at  this  time  as  a  settled  minister  or 
not  does  not  clearly  appear.  In  1672  he  was  called  to  Stamford,  as  col- 
league or  assistant  to  the  Rev.  John  Bishop  of  that  place.  On  the  3d  of 
May  of  that  year,  the  town  voted  "  to  give  Mr.  Jones  an  invitation  to  be  a 
minister  of  the- Gospel  in  this  place  if  he  remove  from  Greenwich."  In 
November  of  the  same  year  he  is  "  accommodated  with  a  piece  of  land  in 
liis  own  right,  provided  he  settle  here  in  the  work  of  the  ministry,"  and  Mr. 
Law,  Mr.  Holly,  and  Jonathan  Sellick  are  chosen  to  treat  with  the  Green- 
wich men  "about  their  compliance  with  Stamford,  for  the  upholding  of  the 
ministry  in  this  place."  The  town  subsequently  exchanged  the  above 
"piece  of  land,"  which  was  "on  the  west  side  of  the  Southfield,"  for  the 
more  eligible  tract  on  the  beautiful  headland  fronting  and  overlooking 
Long  Island  Sound,  now  owned  and  occupied  by  Capt.  B.  L.  Waite,  and 
the  Brothers  Alfred  and  Benjamin  Scofield.  This  was  the  same  field  which 
the  Sagamores  reserved  for  their  planting  ground  when  making  the 
original  grant  for  the  town  in  1640,  but  which  also  w'as  subsequently  sur- 
rendered by  them  to  the  town.  It  was  now  (1672)  voted  that  "  Mr.  Jones 
shall  have  that  piece  of  land  at  Wescus  which  was  improved  by  the  Engins 
in  case  it  be  cleared  from  all  English  and  Engins  and  this  land  to  be  Mr. 
Jones'  proper  right  in  lue  of  that  jiiece  of  land  granted  to  him  on  the  west 
side  of  the  southfield."  While  residing  here  he  also  preached  at  Rye  from 
time  to  time.  The  General  Court  of  Connecticut  sitting  at  Hartford,  .May 
14,  1674,  made  the  following  order:  "  This  Court  desires  Mr.  Eli[)halet 
Joanes  to  take  the  paynes  to  despence  the  word  of  God  to  the  people  of 
Rye  once  a  fortnight  on  the  Lord's  Day  till  the  Court,  October  next  and 
then  this  Court  will  take  further  order  concerning  them  and  for  Mr.  Jones's 
satisfaction."  -  He  must  have  been  popular  as  a  minister  at  this  period.  As 
early  as  1669,  the  year  of  his  commencement  in  the  minislr}' at  Greenwich, 
the  people  of  Jamaica,  L.  I.,  voted  to  send  a  messenger  to  invite  him  to 
visit  them  with  a  view  to  a  settlement,  but  it  apjiears  he  declined  going. 
In  1675,  on  an  invitation  from  the  people  of  Huntington,  L.  I.,  he  visited 
them,  and  in  January  following  he  was  desired  to  "  Continue  among  them 
as  their  minister,  and  they  voted  to  give  him  twenty  acres  of  land  where 
lie  chose  to  select  it.  He  appears  not  to  have  permanently  settled  there 
Irowever,  until  1677,  when  he  was  formally  ordained  as   the  successor  of

the  Rev.  William  Leverich,  over  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  at  that 
place.  Here  he  continued  for  over  half  a  century.  He  is  described  as 
"  a  man  of  great  purity  and  simplicity  of  manners,  and  a  faithful  and  suc- 
cessful preacher." 

Not  until  he  had  attained  his  78th  year,  did  he  have  the  aid  of  an 
assistant.  At  that  time  Mr.  Ebenezer  Prime,  then  a  young  man,  ancestor 
of  our  well-known  and  very  worthy  fellow-citizens,  the  Revs.  Samuel  I.  and 
Edward  D.  G.  Prime,  and  of  Wni.  C.  Prime,  Esq.,  was  engaged  in  that 
capacity,  and  four  years  afterwards,  in  1723,  was  ordained  as  colleague; 
on  which  occasion  Mr.  Jones,  then  in  his  82d  year,  presided  at  the 
ordaining  council,  and  delivered  the  pastoral  charge.  He  lived  to  the 
age  of  91  years  and  died  in  Huntington,  June  5,  1731.  He  never  married, 
and  what  estate  he  had  he  bequeathed  to  his  sister's  son,  Eliphalet  Hill, 
his  namesake,  who,  in  his  declining  years,  took  care  of  him  and  managed 
his  affairs. 

At  the  easterly  end  of  the  main  street  in  the  now  peaceful  village  of 
Huntington,  rises  an  eminence  which  overlooks  the  town  and  the  beautiful 
harbor  and  the  country  for  miles  around.  This  the  early  settlers  had  set 
apart  and  consecrated  for  the  sepulchres  of  their  dead  ;  and  here  they 
buried  their  Pastor.  But  here,  fifty  years  afterwards,  came  Col.  Benjamin 
Thompson,  Count  Rumford,  with  his  vandal  troops,  and  demolished  the 
church,  and  with  its  timbers  erected  block  houses  and  barracks  over  the 
graves  which  he  levelled  for  the  purpose,  using  the  tombstones  for  build- 
ing tlieir  fire-places  and  ovens.  One  veritable  chronicler  tells  i?s  how  he 
had  heard  from  the  lips  of  living  witnesses  that  they  had  seen  these 
soldiers  draw  their  loaves  of  bread  from  these  ovens,  having  the  reversed 
inscriptions  of  the  tombstones  of  their  friends  on  the  lower  crust  !  But 
"  the  whirligig  of  Time  brought  about  its  revenges  :"  the  Briton  with  his 
minions  of  outrage  passed  away,  and  the  Peace  of  Desolation  settled  over 
the  sacred  enclosure. 

When  a  full  century  had  elapsed,  and  the  ashes  of  the  aged  minister  had 
reposed  so  long  beneath  the  sod,  that  the  place  of  their  interment  had  been 
utterly  forgotten,  or  all  mementos  of  it  entirely  obliterated  by  these  ravages 
of  war,  the  peo|)le  of  another  generation — the  descendants  of  the  sires  to 
whom  he  had  so  long  and  faithfully  dispensed  the  Word  of  God — still  cherish- 
ing and  reviving  the  memory  and  tradition  of  his  virtues,  erected  a  plain 
but  decent  cenotaph  in  remembrance  of  him,  in  this  their  public  burial 
ground.  The  stone  bears  the  following  inscription  :  "In  Memory  of  Rev. 
Eliphalet  Jones  who  was  the  only  settled  Minister  in  Huntington,  from 
1676  to  1723.  He  was  born  in  Concord,  Massachusetts,  and  died  between 
1730  and  1740,  near  100  years  old." 

He  deserved  a  better  monument,  and  one  with  a  more  fitting  and  correct 
inscription.

BRIEF  NOTES  OF  THE    EARLY    HISTORY    OF    THE    DEWEY 
FAMILY  IN  AMERICA. 


By  Benjamin  W.  Dwigiit,  of  Clinton,  N.   Y, 


The  facts  here  detailed  weie  gathered,  many  of  them,  by  the  writer, 
when  engaged  in  investigating  the  history  of  The  Strong  Family,  at  various 
points  in  New  England,  and  especially  at  Northampton  and  Westfield, 
Mass.,  as  well  as  at  Lebanon,  Ct.  Other  associated  items  have  been  ac- 
cumulated at  different  times  through  several  years  past  from  a  variety  of 
sources. 


THOMAS  DEWEY,  the  Settler  (spelled  also  in  the  Dorchester  records, 
Duee),  came  to  Dorchester,  Mass.,  in  1633,  from  Sandwich,  Kent,  England, 
near  the  ancient  town  of  Dover,  and  was  enrolled  as  a  freeman  there.  May 
14,  1634.  He  removed  about  163S  to  Windsor,  Ct.,  and  m.  there,  March 
22,  1638-9,  widow  Frances  Clarke,  by  whom  he  had  5  children.  He  was 
cornet  of  the  town  troop  of  soldiers.  He  d.  at  Windsor,  April  27,  1648. 
He  was  frequently  juror  and  deputy  to  the  Ceneral  Court.  His  widow  ni. 
for  a  3d  husband,  Nov.  30,  1648,  George  Phelps,  and  soon  afterwards  re- 
moved to  Westfield,  Mass.,  with  all  the  Dewey  children  except  Israel,  who 
remained  in  Windsor  and  d.  there  at  an  advanced  age,  leaving  no  issue. 
Thomas  Dewey  and  all  his  descendants  for  several  generations  are  believed 
to  have  been  farmers.  [The  first  husband  of  Mrs.  Frances  Dewey  was 
Joseph  Clarke.  Their  daughter,  Mary  Clarke,  was  the  first  wife  of  John 
Strong,  Jr.,  of  Windsor,  son  of  Elder  John  Strong  of  Northampton.  See 
Hist.  Strong  F'amily  by  the  writer,  p.  20.  Mrs.  Frances  (Dewey)  Phelps 
had  a  son,  Jacob  Phelps,  b.  about  1650,  who  m.  May  2,  1672,  Dorothy 
Ingersoll,  b.  in  1654,  dau.  of  John  Ingersoll,  of  Hartford,  Ct.,  and  after- 
wards of  Northampton,  Mass.,  and  Dorothy  Lord,  dau.  of  Thomas  Lord  of 
Hartford.  They  had  6  children.  i,  Dorothy  Phelps,  b.  May  10,  1675, 
who  m.  Nov.  30,  1693,  Edward  Kibbe,  of  Enfield,  Ct.  2.  Hannah  Phelps,

ness by  himself;  which,  to  liis  great  regret,  he  had  not  been  able  to  pub-

TOHN  CRUGER  came  from  Germany  to  America  previous  to  the  year 
i7'oo,  and  resided  in  the  City  of  New  York.  An  old  record  in  the  posses- 
sion of  Mr.  John  C.  Cruger,  of  Cruger's  Island,  says:  'trom  the  t.aduioi - 
arv  account  in  the  family  and  from  the  coat  of  arms  which  he  brought  with 
him  it  is  supposed  he  was  descended  from  the  family  of  Baron  von  Cruger. 
¥  e  ame  of  that  family  was  always  spelt  with  a  C,  whilst  that  of  the  com- 
monalty in  Germany  is  spelt  with  a  K."  The  name  itself  m  its  origin  is  a 
corruption,  undoubtedly,  of  the  Latin  Cruciger,  or  cross-bearer 

He  was  a  merchant,  a  high-toned  gentleman,  and  a  prominent  c.ti/.en  of 
New  York  during  the  first  half  of  the  eighteenth  century  He  was  elected

of  Albany,  the  first  of  that  name  in  America,  and  Anna  his  wife,  and  had 
three  sons,  Henry,  and  Johi  and  Tikman.     Tilem.^n  died  a  young  man,

he  office  for  ten  years  till  1766.  In  I7S9  he  was  elected  a  representative 
in  th^  Assembly,  and  remained  a  member  till  the  termination  of  the  Lng- 
lish  rule  in  1775,  the  long  period  of  seventeen  years.  In  1769,  m  a  closely 
contested  election,  he  was' chosen  Speaker  over  William  Livingston,  the 
candidate  of  the  Presbyterian  party,  afterwards  Governor  of  New  Jersey,

John  Harris  Cruger,  the  eldest  son,  succeeded  his  father  in  1773  as 
one  of  the  Governor's  Council,  and  was  also  Chamberlain  of  the  City  of 
New  York,  and  in  otlice  at  the  breaking  out  of  hostilities  three  years  later 
When  the  Provincial  Brigade  "  De  Lancev's  Battalions"  was  raised  in 
1776,  under  Oh verde  Lancey  as  Brigadier  General,  "for  the  defence  of 
Long  Island,  and  other  exigencies,"  he  was  commissioned  Lieut. -Colonel 
o|  the  1st  battalion  or  regiment,  General  de  Lancey  himself  being  the 
Colonel.  He  was  very  distinguished  as  an  officer,  on  Long  Island,  at 
Savannah,  Charleston,  and  Camden,  brilliantly  and  successfully  defended 
Fort  Ninety-sLN;  in  South  Carolina,  against  Gen.  Nathaniel  Greene,  who 
was  compelled  to  raise  the  siege,  and  by  his  coolness  and  steadiness  turned 
the  fortunes  of  the  day  in  favor  of  the  British  at  Eutaw  Springs. 

After  the  war  he  went  to  England,  and  resided  at  Beverley^in  Yorkshire, 
where  he  died.     He  had  no  issue. 

Henry  Cruger,  the  second  son,  educated  at  King's  College,  N.  Y.,  was

ing determined  to  return  to  America  and  reside  there  for  the  rest  of  his  life, 
and  in  the  same  year  came  back  with  his  family  to  his  native  city.  Here  he' 
soon  became  engaged  in  politics,  and  notwithstanding  his  service  in  Parlia- 
ment, and  especially  his  re-election  in  1784,  after  the  peace  of  1783,  and 
subsequent  service  of  about  six  years,  he  was,  in  1792,  elected  a  Senator

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 

CnABB,  Richard — Was  of  Stamford,  Conn.,  1641-1658.  Who  was  his  wife?  On 
his  trial  before  the  Court  of  Magistr.ites,  at  New  Haven,  May  2Sth,  165S,  he  testified 
that  "  she  was  a  well-bred  woman  in  England,  a  zealous  professor  from  her  childliood,  almost 
beyond  example."  (New  Haven  Col.  Records,  vol.  ii,,  p.  246).  In  a  petition  of  Robert 
Coe,  of  Jamaica,  dated  May  9,  1661,  preserved  among  the  Dutch  MSS.  in  the  Secretary 
of  State's  Office  at  Albany,  vol.  ix.,  p.  600,  he  refers  to  Richard  Crabbc  as  his  "  brother- 
iti-la-w."  Crabb  was  presumably  at  this  date  a  resident  of  Oyster  Bay,  L.  I.,  where  he 
married  for  his  second  wife,  Alice  the  widow  of  Peter  Wright.  He  died  there  on  the 
6th  of  April,  16S0.  J-  J-   i- 

De  Sille. — Vol.  vi.,  p.  54. — In  reply  to  enquiries  about  Nicasiiis  de  Sille,  I  would 
state  that  de  Sille  had  children,  Laiirenee,  born  in  Holland,  and  married  a  dauglitcr  of 
Capt.  Martin  Cregier  ;  Gerdienlje,  who  married  Jan  Gerritse  Van  Couwenlioven,  the  an- 
cestor of  the  Brooklyn  and  New  Utrecht  branches  of  the  Couwenhoven  family,  among 
whom  the  name  of  Nicholas  abounds  to  this  day  ;  and  Anna,  who  married,  Feb.  29,  1660 
(see  N.  Y.  Dutch  ch.  rec. ),  Hendrick  Kip. 

The  U'albrilg  de  Sille  wlio  married  Frans  Cregier  was  probably  a  relative  of  NiCASiCs, 
but  I  have  seen  no  evidence  of  her  being  his  daughter.  On  the  marriage  record  she  is 
entered  as  from  Mestricht,  while  Anna,  who  was  married  the  same  day,  is  entered  from 
Van  Wyck.

Hallett,  Lydia. — What  was  the  maiden  name  of  the  wife  of  Joseph  Hallett,  and 
who  were  her  parents?  Her  husband  was  born  at  Hallett's  Point,  August  14,  1714,  and 
died  at  same  place  December  14,  1731,  aged  27  ;  having  issue  by  his  wife  Lydia,  one  son 
and  one  daughter. 

1st.  Joseph  (merchant,  a  prominent  member  of  the  N.  Y.  Committees  of  Safety,  of

opening  of  the  Revolution,  of  large  wealth),  born  Jan.  26,  1731,  died  August  9,  1799. 

2d.  Lydia,  born  1732,  soon  after  her  father's  death;  died  26th  Feb.,  1812  (buried  at

Hazard. — Mrs.  Nathaniel  Hazard,  born  Elizabeth  Drummond.  Who  were  the  pa- 
rents of  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Hazard  ?  Her  husband  Nathaniel  Hazard  died  at  his  house  in 
Hanover  Square,  N.  Y.  City,  January,  1765,  and  left  a  numerous  progeny.  Her  maiden 
name  was  Elizabeth  Drummond  ;  she  died  at  the  house  of  her  daughter  Mrs.  Joseph 
Hallett,  229  Duane  St.,  N.  Y.  City,  May  27,  iSii,  aged  gS.  Tradition  says  that  she 
was  born  in  Scotland  and  passed  most  of  her  youth  in  France.  Only  by  a  long  residence 
in  France  could  she  have  acqnired  the  thorough  knowledge  of  French  which  she  posessed, 
and  correct  pronunciation  as  rare  then  as  now  with  the  English  siieaking  races.  Dutch 
and  English  were  equally  familiar,  whether  she  understood  Scotch,  the  writer  has  not 
learned.  Her  knowledge  of  the  Bible  and  Biblical  History  were  very  remarkable,  in  ar- 
gument she  was  wont  to  iUustrate  such  subjects  with  quotations  and  references,  references 
often  drawn  from  works  not  easily  attainable  in  this  country.  For  this  knowledge,  for  the 
information  she  could  impart  and  for  her  piety,  her  society  was  sought  by  the  clergy  of 
this  and  neighboring  cities,  including  members  of  other  besides  her  own  (Presbyterian;  de- 
nomination. 

Tradition  names  Scotland  as  her  birth-place,  and  the  date  is  fixed,  by  the  record  of  her 
death,  at  1713.  On  the  other  hand  it  is  found  that  Ann,  wife  of  Robert  Drummond  (a 
vintner)  was  confined  in  1 7 13  in  New  York  City. 

May  30,  1 7 16,  Robert  and  Ann  Drummond  (he  a  vintner),  residing  in  Elizabethtown, 
N.  J.,  applied  in  this  city  for  letters  of  administration  on  the  estate  of  Monteth  Noell, 
said  .'Vnn  Drummond  having  formerly  been  the  wife  of  Richard  Hall,  who  in  his  lifetime 
was  brother  to  Monteth  Noell  by  the  mother's  side.  It  further  appears  that  by  her  for- 
mer husband  the  said  Ann  had  two  children,  Elizabeth  and  Ann. 

It  is  now  claimed  notwithstanding  the  assertion  of  those  now  living  who  know  Mrs. 
Nathaniel  Hazard,  that  she  was  the  daughter  of  Roliert  and  Ann  Drummond  ;  but  is  it 
likely  that  having  one  daughter  living  (by  her  first  husband  Hall)  named  Elizabeth,  a 
daughter  by  Mrs.  Drummond's  second  husband  would  also  be  called  Elizabeth.  Mrs.  Ha- 
zard's descendants  are  so  numerous  that  we  may  hope  extended  inquiry  will  clear  up  the 
disputed  question  of  her  birth,  the  true  facts  must  be  known  by  some  of  them.

Odell. — William  Odell,  supposed  to  be  a  descendant  of  the  English  family  of  Odell 
mentioned  in  Burke's  "  Landed  Gentry,"  in  1639,  came  from  England  to  Concord,  Mass., 
where  he  was  probably  a  member  of  the  congregation  of  the  Rev.  Peter  Bulkley,  who 
was  born  in  the  parish  of  Odell,  Bedford  Co.,  England.  In  1644,  Mr.  Odell  removed 
to  Fairfield,  Conn.,  and  his  son  William  became  one  of  the  principal  proprietors  of  Rye, '

OBITUARY. 

AspiNWALL, — William  H.  Aspinwall  died  at  his  house,  No.  33  University  Place,  New 
York,  on  Tuesday,  January  19,  1X75,  in  the  67th  year  of  his  age.  He  w^as  the  son  of  the 
late  John  Aspinwall,  a  well-known  merchant  of  New  York.  His  family,  however,  is  a  New 
England  one.  He  was  for  many  years  a  partner  with  William  E.  Howland  in  the  house 
of  Howland  and  Aspinwall,  which  succeeded  that  of  the  elder  Howlands.  He  took  much 
interest  in  the  establishment  of  steam  communication  with  San  Francisco,  and  the  success 
of  the  Pacific  Mail  Steamship  Co.  and  of  the  Panama  Railroad  is  largely  due  to  his  exer- 
tions. The  eastern  terminus  of  the  road  was  named  after  him  in  acknowledgment  of  the 
zeal  and  ability  which  he  displayed.  He  leaves  two  sons,  Lloyd  Aspinwall,  who  succeeded 
him  in  the  firm,  and  the  Rev.  John  A.  Aspinwall,  Rector  of  Christ  Church,  Bay  Ridge, 
Long  Island.  His  three  daughters  married  James  Renwick,  John  W.  Minturn  and  Am- 
brose C.  Kingsland,  Jr. 

Delafield. — Joseph,  Henry  and  Edward  Delafield  were  the  three  surviving  chil- 
dren of  John  Delafield,  the  head  of  an  ancient  English  family,  who  settled  in  New  York 
towards  the  end  of  the  last  century.  By  his  intermarriage  with  Ann,  daughter  of  Joseph 
Hallett,  of  Hallett's  Cove,  now  Astoria,  Queens  Co.,  N.  Y.,  Mr.  Delafield  was  the  father 
of  a  numerous  family,  of  whom  seven  sons  and  three  daughters  grew  up.  The  eldest  son 
John  married  in  Engl.and  Mary,  daughter  and  lieiress  of  John  Roberts  of  Whitchurch,  Co. 
Bucks.  The  only  issue  of  this  marriage,  according  to  Burke,  was  a  daughter,  Mary  Ann. 
He  married  secondly,  in  New  York,  Elizabeth  Tallmadge,  and  had  issue,  John,  who  settled 
in  Geneva,  New  York,  and  Mary,  married  to  Bishop  Neely  of  Maine.  The  second  son 
Joseph  married  Julia,  daughter  of  Maturin  Livingston  and  granddaughter  of  the  late 
Governor  Morgan  Lewis.  His  children  were  Maturin  and  X^ewis,  the  latter  of  whom 
married  a  daughter  of  the  late  Francis  R.  Tilhju.  The  third  and  fourth  sons,  William  and 
Henry,  were  twins.  William  was  not  married.  Henry  married,  late  in  life,  Mary,  daugh- 
ter of  Judge  Munson.  She  died  before  him,  leaving  two  daughters.  Edward  married  ist, 
October  12,  1S21,  Miss  Elinor  E.  Langdon  Elwyn,  dau.  of  Thomas  Langdon  EKvyn,  Esq., 
of  Portsmouth,  N.  IL,  and  2d,  January  31,  1839,  Julia /'Ayv/,  dau.  of  Col.  NicoU  Floyd,  of 
Mastic,  L.  I.,  by  whom  he  had  issue,  with  others,  Francis,  wlio  married  Katharine,  daughter 
of  the  late  Henry  Van  Rensselaer,  by  his  intermarriage  with  Mary,  daughter  of  the  Hon. 
John  A.  King,  Governor  of  New  York  from  1S56  to  1S58.  Richard,  the  sixth  son,  mar- 
ried a  lady  from  Old  Point  Comfort,  Virginia.  Rufus  King,  the  youngest  son,  married 
Eliza,  daughter  of  William  Bard,  formerly  of  Hyde  Park,  New  York,  by  his  intermarriage 
with  Katharine,  daughter,  of  Nicholas  Cruger  of  St.  Croix,  W.  I.,  the  owner  of  Rose  Hill, 
New  York.     He  had   issue,  with  others,  Edward,  who   married  a  daughter  of  Frederic

Schuchardt.  The  daughters  of  John  Delafield,  Ann  and  Emma,  died  unmarried.  Susan 
married  the  late  Henry  Parish,  of  New  Yorl<. 

Joseph  Delafieed  graduated  at  Yale  College  in  1808,  and  studied  law  in  the  office  of 
Jobiah  Ogden  Hoffman,  whose  partner  he  afterwards  became.  At  the  beginning  of  the 
war  of  1812,  he  raised  a  regiment,  the  46th,  in  which  he  held  a  major's  commission.  His 
regiment  was  stationed  during  the  war  at  Governor's  Island,  in  the  harbor  of  New  York. 
He  was  afterwards  appointed  commissioner  on  the  part  of  the  United  States  to  settle  the 
northern  boundary.  He  occupied  himself  chiefly  in  literary  and  scientific  pursuits;  and, 
after  a  long  and  useful  life,  he  died  on  Friday,  February  12,  1875,  ^'  'l'^  great  age  of 
eighty-four. 

Henry  Delafield  and  his  twin  brother  William  were  born  at  their  father's  country- 
seat,  a  large  and  elegant  house  still  standing  at  Hallett's  Cove,  now  called  Astoria,  Long 
Island,  on  the  19th  of  July,  1792.  They  became  merchants  in  New  York,  and  were  suc- 
cessful in  their  business.  William  died  in  1S53,  and  Henry  on  the  14th  of  February,  1875,
