ALBERT CRANE.

Contributed by Rufus King,

Albert Crane, A.B., LL.B., a Life Member of the New York
Genealogical and Biographical Society, died at his home, Rock-
Acre, Strawberry Hill, Stamford, Conn., September 21, 1918, after
a long and severe illness which he endured with courage and
resignation.

Mr. Crane, born in New York City, December 30, 1842, the
son of Thomas and Clarissa Lawrence (Starkey) Crane, was de-
scended from a New England family of the name, whose founder
was Henry Crane of Dorchester and Milton, Mass., born about
1621; he was a large landowner and evidently a man of education
as indicated by documents in his handwriting found in the
Massachusetts Archives as early as 1677; his first wife was Tabitha,
the daughter of Elder Stephen Kinsley, a wealthy and prominent
resident of Braintree, Mass. In this line Albert Crane descended
through six generations of sturdy New Englanders.

His first maternal ancestor in New England was John Starkey
of Boston, born in England about 1638 and, according to tradition,
related to a family of the name settled in Standish, County Lan-
caster; the particulars of these lines of descent have already been
published.

Albert Crane's early education was received at the famous
Mount Washington School, located on Macdougal Street, opposite
Washington Square, in New York City. It was at this school
that he and the writer formed a friendship which lasted for more
than half a century.

Mr. Crane matriculated at Tufts College, Medford, Mass., and
was graduated in the Class of 1863; while there he joined the
Zeta Psi Fraternity.

Having decided on the law as a profession, he entered Colum-
bia College Law School where he was graduated in 1866 and
admitted to the New York Bar the same year. Later on he be-
came a member of the American Bar Association, New York State
Bar Association and The Association of the Bar of the City of
New York.

2 Albert Crane. [Jan-

After a few years, however, he retired from active practice
and soujjjht the more congenial atmosphere of country hfe and
foreign lands where he could gratify his love of literature and art.

Mr. Crane was an energetic and appreciative traveler and had
made considerably more than two score voyages across the
Atlantic; his wanderings ranged from southern Europe and Africa
to the rock-bound coast of Norway and Sweden. He was very
fond of England (an ancestral inheritance perhaps) which he fre-
quently visited; on one occasion he became a householder in
London during the season, was presented at Court, joined the
Thatched House Club on St. James Street, entertained liberally
and enjoyed many opportunities of seeing English life from the
inside.

Mr. Crane was a lover of music, especially of the classical
school, a Life Member of the New York Oratorio Society and a
Director of the New York Symphony Society, where he became
the warm personal friend of Theodore Thomas.

As indicating his enthusiasm for the art, it may be recorded
that in 1876 he made a special trip to Bayreuth to attend the first
performance of Richard Wagner's great music-drama "The
Niebelungenlied " and again in 1882 for the first hearing of
"Parsifal."

Mr. Crane married January 24, 1884, Ellen Mansfield, daughter
of Colonel J. Mansfield and Martha M. (Brooks) Davies of Fishkill-
on-Hudson. Mrs. Crane died January 5, 1893, and on February lO,
1902, Mr. Crane married Fanny, daughter of George Lyman and
Elizabeth Neal (Ames) Starkey of Boston, who survives him.
There were no children by either marriage.

For many years Mr. Crane divided his time between his home
in New York City and his country place at Stamford, but he finally
disposed of the former and made Rock-Acre his home when he
was not enjoying the diversion of residence abroad.

Mr. Crane's benefactions were numerous. In 1882, he joined
with the members of his family in erecting at Quincy, Mass., his
father's birthplace, a beautiful memorial building known as the
Thomas Crane Public Library, said to be one of Richardson's
finest designs, and described by Charles Francis Adams at the
dedication as: " In itself an education in art."

In igo8, this building was enlarged and adjoining land pur-
chased involving a total cost of about one hundred and forty
thousand dollars.

Later on, with a gift of one hundred thousand dollars, Mr.
Crane endowed, at Tufts College, the Crane Theological School
in recognition of his father's life long adherence to the Univer-
salist faith. Stamford was also generously remembered by a fund
which provided for the purchase of a site for Stamford Hospital.

Mr. Crane had further contemplated a larger gift to Stamford
in the shape of a public Park; a suitable tract of land in the
residential section of the city was decided on and, it is stated

19 ig.] Albert Crane. 3

that Mr. Crane authorized the purchase of the property, only to
learn that it was not for sale; he was therefore, much to his dis-
appointment and regret, compelled to abandon the project.

Along with his interest in the company of his friends, Mr.
Crane found no little pleasure in his affiliation with the numerous
societies and clubs to which he belonged, and he retired from
these activities only when obliged to do so by failing health.

He was for many years a Life Member of the Society of
Colonial Wars as a descendant of Major Simon Willard of Con-
cord, Mass., who was member of the State Legislature in 1636,
also of John Starkey of Boston.

Mr. Crane, in 1893, joined the Sons of the Revolution as a
great-grandson of Sergeant Joseph Crane of Col. Phinney's
Battalion, 1775, and Private Daniel Lawrence, Col. Robinson's
Regiment, Mass. Militia, 1776. Limit of space prevents anything
more than mention of the following societies and clubs to which
Mr. Crane belonged: — New England Historic Genealogical Society,
Stamford Historical Society, Stamford Hospital Corporation.
New York Historical Society, Blue Anchor Society, American
Geographical Society, and Union Club of New York City since

1879.

He was also for seven years (1863-1870) a member of the 22nd
Regiment, New York State National Guard, in Captain Henry K.
Howland's Company.

Mr. Crane's will, dated November 11, 1912, carried on the
benevolent work begun during his life time.

Mrs. Crane receives a substantial share of the estate including
Rock-Acre.

Among other beneficiaries are the Thomas Crane Public Lib-
rary, The Chapin Home, Tufts College, Ferguson Library of
Stamford, Second Universalist Church of Stamford, Stamford
Children's Home, Stamford Day Nursery, Blue Anchor Society,
and Belfast Free Library to establish the Albert Boyd Otis Fund
for the purchase of books.

There are also legacies to relatives and friends of the testator.

Funeral services were held at Mr. Crane's home and though
announced as private, a large number of friends and neighbors
attended.

Rev. Francis A. Grey, D.D., of Stamford Universalist Church
made an impressive address followed by Rev. Lee S. McCollester,
D.D., of the Crane Theological School, Rev. Dr. J. Smith Dodge
pronounced the benediction.

The honorary pall bearers were: Rev. Dr. J. Smith Dodge>
Edward Holbrook, Dr. Charles E. Fay of Tufts College, Walton
Ferguson, L. Bradford Prince, Daniel Seymour, Rufus King, George
Welvvood Murray, Homer S. Cummings, Gutzon Borglum, Harold
Roberts, Dr. Raymond R. Gandy, Frederick C. Taylor and Dr.
Samuel Pierson.

The interment was in the family plot in Greenwood Cemetery.

ARMS AND CRESTS FOR AMERICANS.

Report of Committee on Heraldry,

Submitted by the Chairman,

John Ross Delafield, A. M., LL. B., Colonel, C. A. C, N. Y. G.,

Major, U. S. Army.

As the United States has made no provision for the grant or reg-
istration of arms or crests, it is of interest to note under what cir-
cumstances Americans may bear them, and even sometimes acquire
them. The great majority of our people are descended in the male
line from ancestors who lived in Great Britain or Ireland, making
the treatment of this subject as it relates to these countries the more
important ; and this report is limited accordingly.

That many of our ancestors in the Colonial days of America
bore arms is well established, and was so firmly rooted and recog-
nized that the separation from the old country and the formation of
the Republic did not do away with the practice, but recognized and
tacitly confirmed it. The new country adopted the arms of the
Washington family, with its stars and stripes, as the basis of the flag
we love so well. And the new State of New Jersey for a time offi-
cially used as its seal the arms of the Livingston family, because of
William Livingston, the famous war governor of that State. The
use of arms by those entitled to bear them has not since diminished
in favour in this country.' Indeed the custom has grown to be so
popular that many persons who are not members of armigerous
families have assumed and used arms, and by doing so unintelligently
tend to bring the custom into disrepute. Why the United States
Government has failed to recognize officially and systematize the
use of family names and family marks, such as arms and crests, is
not the subject of this article. It is, however, worthy of study and
discussion, leading perhaps to legislation. Our Government is based
on the family as its fundamental unit. The desire to have a mark
for your family, as well as a name, is primeval ; very probably older
than the use of family names. Arms are the marks generally used.
Finding no regular mode of gratifying this instinct, many persons
and families, who should have arms, have endeavored to satisfy it
by assuming arms and crests. They have generally adopted the
arms of some other family of the same name. By so doing, they
have generally quite unwittingly followed the least desirable course,
for the identity of arms will, in a generation or two, lead to the
belief that they are related to the other family, an error which the
exact methods of genealogical research will inevitably expose, to the
mortification of the then living members of the family, and the dis-
credit of the use of arms. Identity of family name does not indi-
cate relationship. If you think of assuming arms, first make sure
that you are not descended in the male line from some family entitled
to bear arms. Then take great care to choose arms that are diflferent

from any others, particularly from those borne by other families of
the same name. You or some of your descendants may become, by
some chance, British subjects, or the jurisdiction of the College of
Arms may be extended to correspond with that of Ulster King of
Arms. Then if you have used the above precautions, the arms can
be confirmed. Otherwise there will have to be another change.

The Americans, who can with entire confidence use arms, are
those belonging in the male line to families recognized as armigerous
in the countries of their origin, or those who can and do obtain
grants of arms from the countries of their forefathers.

The official agencies for the grant of arms, confirmation of arms,
and registration and matriculation of pedigrees are : in England, the
College of Arms ; in Scotland, Lyon King of Anns ; in Ireland
Ulster King of Arms. The jurisdiction of each is generally as
follows :

The College of Arms, the Earl Marshall with the official heralds,
are the authorities for grants of arms for all British subjects resi-
dent in England and in every other part of the British Empire
excepting Scotland and Ireland, and excepting also British subjects
of Scotch or Irish descent in the male line not resident in England
Such Colonials may, however, in their discretion apply to the Col-
lege of Arms for grants of arms. Welshmen have no separate office
of arms, and are on the same footing at the College of Arms as
Englishmen.

The Lord Lyon has jurisdiction for all Scotchmen and Colonials
of Scottish descent in the male line, though a Colonial of Scottish
descent may apply to the College of Arms for a grant.

So also Ulster King has jurisdiction for all Irishmen and
Colonials of Irish descent in the male line, though these may apply
to the College of Arms. Ulster has also the power to grant arms to
persons of Irish descent in the male line who are not British sub-
jects, an opportunity of which many Americans will, no doubt, in
time take advantage.

It is a principle of heraldry that a family once armigerous is
always armigerous. Hence a member of an armigerous family and
his descendants in the male line, for no matter how many genera-
tions, may bear arms, no matter where he may live or of what nation
he may be a citizen or subject. Eurthermore, his pedigree and that
of his descendants may be registered from time to time in the office
of the official Herald of the land of his origin or in the College of
Arms, and thus a record is kept showing his right to bear the family
arms.

In the office of the Lord Lyon, the registration takes on a spe-
cial character, and is called matriculation. The reason for this is
that, under the Scottish system, only the oldest descendant in the
male line may use the simple arms ; all others must add special marks
to show to which branch of the family he belonged. These marks
are a combination system of the marks of cadency of the English
and various forms of bordures, and are definitely assigned to each

individual at his registration or matriculation. The oldest son and
the daughters, on their lozenges, use the same marks as their father;
the other sons must matriculate. The marks of cadency for English
and Irish are fixed and in both instances the same. However, their
use is not compulsory, yet they have long been used in this country,
as, for example, the arms shown on the book-plate and seal of the
celebrated patriot. General Philip Schuyler of the War of the Revo-
lution, who charged his shield with a crescent, indicating that he
was the second son.

Americans of English or Irish descent in the male line have some-
times been made armigerous through a confirmation of arms to their
British ancestor. In England and Ireland, grants of confirmation
are sometimes made on the application of a British subject whose
family have actually and openly used arms for a number of genera-
tions. These confirmations relate back sometimes two generations,
to the applicant's grandfather; seldom further back. In such case,
all the descendants in the male line of that grandfather may bear
the arms.

In this connection, it may be well to state that the College of
Arms and Official Heralds of England, Scotland and Ireland take
the greatest care not to grant or confirm to any family the identical
arms or crest borne by any other family, whether of the same or
another name.

It may not be amiss here to say that Holland has never had an
oflficial herald, and that arms were not there granted or recorded. As
a result, there are many families of Holland origin which have
borne arms for centuries, and yet can show no grant nor official
recognition. The official Heralds of Great Britain and Ireland
would, no doubt, confirm these arms to members of these families
who became British subjects, and as quarterings to the descendants
of British subjects who had married heiresses from these families.

Registration in the College of Arms is not confined to British
subjects. Many foreign pedigrees are registered there with proofs
and evidences of the arms and crests borne and used. But such
registrations are not to be confused with grants or confirmations of
arms. Registration alone gives no sanction or authority for the use
of the arms concerning which evidences are registered.

The finding of arms for one's name, or even for one's proven
ancestor, in an old edition of Burke's General Armory, or in Pap-
worths' Ordinary, or in Matthew's American Armory and Blue
Book, or in some other printed work, does not prove that one's
family is armigerous. This fact can only be ascertained through an
exact knowledge of one's pedigree for many generations back and
a search made in the records of the official Pleraldic Office of the
country from which one's ancestor in the male line came.

Your Committee on Heraldry respectfully reports that it has
not learned of any satisfactory mode by which Americans can be
assisted in establishing armorial bearings other than as above
outlined.

igiQ-] Records of the Reformed Dutch Church of Wawarsing.

RECORDS OF THE REFORMED DUTCH CHURCH OF

WAWARSING.

Edited by Royden Woodward Vosburgh.

The church was at first located in the villag-e of Wawarsing,
town of Wawarsing, Ulster county, N. Y. About 1840, it re-
moved to Napanoch, another village in the same town. In July,
1885, a manuscript copy of the baptisms and marriages in the
church record was made by Mrs. James R. Gibson, for Samuel
Burhans, Jr., which copy is now in the possession of the New York
Genealogical and Biographical Society. Prior to the year 1898,
Mr. Dingman Versteeg made a copy from the Burhans copy, for
the Holland Society of New York; see Holland Society Year
Book, 1898, page 208. The source of the Holland Society copy
appears upon its title page, but nevertheless, in the inventory of
their church records published in the Holland Society Year Book,
1912, page 32, it is erroneously stated that the "copy was made
from the original." It is deemed necessary to make this cor-
rection to account for the numerous differences and discrepancies,
which exist between the two manuscript copies and the original
church record.

The printer's proof of the copy now published has been (or
will be before issue), compared directly with the original church
record, which has been courteously loaned to the New York
Genealogical and Biographical Society for that purpose, by the
Reformed Church of Wawarsing. The names of all persons have
been copied verbatim et literatim, with one exception. The letter
"ii " which appears very seldom in the text, has been transcribed
"nn;" i. e. Jeneke has been transcribed Jenneke. The printed
copy differs from the original record, as herewith indicated.
The words appearing in Dutch have been translated. The ar-
rangement of names and dates has been made uniform, to comply
with printer's requirements. Each entry has been designated
with a serial number. The names of the months have been
abbreviated in concise and uniform style. Bidt whenever a year
date appears in the original record, it has been copied as it appears.
The original pagination of the record is indicated in black face
type, at the right of the page; the reader is thus enabled to
identify each original page of the record. Not many headings
appear in the columns of the original pages. Such as appear
(with the exception of year dates) have been omitted in the copy.
The headings at the top of each printed page are not a part of
the original record. The first column contains the baptism dates.
The dates are copied in that column as often as they are found in
the original record. The general rule adopted in the original is,
that the date first given applies to all the succeeding entries, until
superseded by a later date. In a few instances, the name of the
month has been dittoed in the original; then ditto marks appear
in the copy. The date of birth is placed under the name of the

Records of the Reformed Dutch Church of IVawarsing.

(Jan.

child, in the same position that it is found in the original. In
birth dates, the letter b. has been substituted for geboren or Iwrn,
the name of the month has been abbreviated in uniform style,
and tlie year date has been copied or omitted to agree with the
original record.

On original page 237 of the church record may be found a
copy of an agreement between the Congregations of Wawarsing
and Rochester, dated Oct. 16, 1745. It was agreed that the line
of separation between the two Congregations should run from
southeast to northwest, at the house of Jacob Hardenbergh, who
will belong to Wawarsing. It was signed by Jacobus L)u Puy,
Cornelus Hoornbeeck, Josaphat Du Bois and Jacob Vernoy, Con-
sistory of Rochester; and E. D Witt, Abraham Bevier, Johannes
X'ernoy and Lourens Kortrecht, Church Masters of Wawarsing
The handwriting is that of Dom. Johannes Casparus Fryenmoet,
who made nearly all of the entries throughout the record, up to
October, 1755. The title page, in his handwriting, is rendered in
the original Dutch and is followed by a translation.

THE KIDD-GARDINER "CLOTH OF GOLD" AND
" PITCHER."

Bv John R. Totten.

" Cloth of Gold."

It is a well authenticated fact that on or about June 27th, 1699,
Captain William Kidd, of pirate fame, visited Gardiner's Island,
then in the possession of its 3rd proprietor, John^ Gardiner; and
that, in exchange for certain supplies furnished him, Captain Kickl
gave to John^ Gardiner and his wife presents of cloth of various
sorts, and placed in John' Gardiner's care, to be subsequently called
for by Kidd, several bales and boxes containing gold, silver, jewels
and cloth of various sorts. After the arrest of Captain Kidd,
John' Gardiner reported to the government authorities the exis-
tence of this deposit, and subsequently turned it over to a govern-
ment committee appointed to receive the same and took their
formal receipt therefor. (See Lion Gardiner and His Descendants,
pp. 97-101.)

Among the gifts presented to John' Gardiner and his wife (t. e.,
his 1st wife, nee Mary King) was undoubtedly the "Cloth of Gold"
(or "Kidd blanket") which on account of the incidents attached to
its acquisition became an heirloom in the family; and this heirloom,
by the varj-ing influences of family history, has passed from the
possession of those bearing the Gardiner name and is now in the
possession of the heirs of the late Mrs. Joseph Hobson, of Washing-
ton. D. C, which heirs are not of Gardiner blood in so far as I can
ascertain. It has been a matter of interest to Gardiner descendants
to conjecture by what succession of events this "cloth of gold" came
into the hands of its present possessors ; and I will endeavor to set
forth what seems to me the possible explanation, which is at least a
likely one.

The first recorded reference with which I am familiar relating
to the "cloth of gold" is (as stated in Lioti Gardiner and His
Descendants, p. 98) to be found in Thompson's History of Long
Island in a letter addressed to the author of that work by the ninth
proprietor of Gardiner's Island, which letter is below quottu

"We have a small piece, a sample of cloth of gold, which my
father received from Mrs. Wetmore,''' mother of the wife of Captain
Mather of New London. I send you extract from her letter giving
an account of Captain Kidd's being on the island." Mrs. Wetmore's
letter reads thus: "I remember, when very young, hearing my
mother say that her grandmother was the wife of Lord Gardiner

* Mrs. Wetmore's maiden name was Elizabeth Christophers, of the well
known family of New London, Ct., who, m. 1783, Ichabod Wetmore, b. 1734
of Middletown, Ct., for his 2nd wife, and their daughter Maria, b. 1786 m.

was Mayor of New London in 1848.

when the pirate Kidd came to Gardiner's Island. The Captain
wanted Mrs. Gardiner to roast him a pig. She being afraid to refuse
him, cooked it very nice, and he was much pleased with it ; he then
made her a present of this silk, which she gave to her two daughters.
Where the other went, whether it is in being; I know not; but this
was handed down to me. It has been kept very nice, and I believe it
is now as good as when first given, which must have been upwards
of one hundred years."

"I (Curtiss C. Gardiner) have a small particle of the 'cloth of
gold' which was clipped from the remnant and presented to me by
Mrs. Gardiner, widow of the seventh proprietor, at the Island,
August 9th and loth, 1855."

From the above we see that there was a so-called "cloth of gold"
and that apparently, according to Mrs. Wetmore's letter, it would
seem that it originally was in two pieces or else was subsequently
divided in two parts ; one part of which finally came into the pos-
session of Mrs. Wetmore, and one part apparently has since
disappeared.

At the time of Captin Kidd's visit to Gardiner's Island, June 27,
1699, John'' Gardiner's ist wife, Mary (King) Gardiner, was living;
and hence it was she who had the adventure with Captain Kidd and
it was to her that the "cloth of gold" was originally given. Mary
(King) Gardiner died July 4, 1707, leaving three daughters and
four sons ; and on her death some disposition was probably made
of the "cloth of gold," or else, and which is more probable, consid-
ering its subsequent history, the heirloom still remained in the Gar-
diner home on the Island.

To make the matter clear I will here give the Gardiner line down
to and including John' Gardiner, the 3rd proprietor:

Daniel Osborne of East Hampton, L. I., N. Y.), b. ; d. May

19, 1747, aged 64, and was buried at East Hampton, N. Y. ; and by
her John^ Gardiner had no children.

From a scrutiny of the above record of John^ Gardiner, the 3rd
proprietor of Gardiner's Island, and in possession thereof at the
time of Captain Kidd's visit to said island, we see that his first wife,
Mary King, was alive at the time of Kidd's visit and that it was to
her that he gave the "cloth of gold." She died July 4, 1707, leaving
a family of 7 children, the eldest of whom, David (b. Jan. 3, 1691),
was only 17 years and 6 months old. It is presumable that the "cloth
of gold" remained in the possession of John'' Gardiner himself after
his 1st wife's death. His 2nd wife, Sarah (Chandler-Coit) Gardi-
ner, died July 3, 171 1, leaving John^ Gardiner two more children by
her. He then on July 13, 1712 (probably), married a 3rd time to
Elizabeth (Allyn) Allen (a widow with one son, Fits John Alien)
and by her he had no children. His third wife found herself the
mistress of a family of 9 step-children, 7 by John^ Gardiner's first
wife and 2 by his second wife, as well as mother of her own son,
Fitz John Allen, by her first husband, which son of hers probably
made his home with her on Gardiner's Island. The exact date of
her death is not known; but as John'' Gardiner was distinctly a man
of marrying disposition and in as much as he married a fourth time,
Oct. 4, 1733, it is fair to presume, judging from his past history,
that his third wife died not long previous to that date. She was
probably his wife some 20 or 21 years, during which period all her
step-children of the Gardiner name (except David* Gardiner, the
eldest son) attained their majority. Moreover her own blood son,
Fitz John Allen, had during that period gained man's estate. She
had no Gardiner blood herself and bore John' Gardiner no children ;
so neither she nor her blood son, Fitz John Allen, had any right of
blood inheritance to the "cloth of gold ;" and moreover her husband
John'' Gardiner survived her. If she became possessed of the "cloth
of gold," it was because during her life it was given to her either
by John' Gardiner or by one of his children, or perhaps she may
simply have acquired it by having had it so long in her possession
that such possession became in a measure a right of ownership. She
however was not the wife of John' Gardiner to whom it was pre-
sented by Captain Kidd.

Now let us look at the Christophers line in further explanation
of why the "cloth of gold" is now in the hands of the heirs of Mrs.
Joseph Hobson:
I. Christopher' Christophers, b. , 1631, about; d. July 23, 1687,

at New London ; m. ( i) , in England, to Mary , b. ,

1621, about; d. July 13, 1676. at New London, and had by her

a son.

ley, b. Aug. 16, 1660 (or 61) ; d. Jan. 7, 1690-1, at New London;
and had by her a son

3. Christopher^ Christophers, b. Dec. 2, 1682 (or 83) ; d. Feb. 5,
1728-9, at New London; m. Jan. 22, 1711-12, to Sarah Prout, b.
Jan. 7, 1684; d. April 18, 1745, at New London, and had by her
a son

4. Christopher* Christophers, b. Oct. 10, 1717, at New London; d.
Oct. 25, 1775, at New London; m. Jan. 7 (or 10), 1743, to Eliza-
beth Allen (daughter of Fitz John and Mary (Mansfield) Allen
of New Haven, Conn.), b. New Haven, Conn,, Dec. 11, 1726; d.
New London, Conn., Jan. 14, 1765, aged 38 years, i month, 3
days. It is to be noted here that this Elizabeth (Allen) Christo-
phers was a granddaughter of Elizabeth (Allyn) Allen, the third
wifeof John^ Gardiner; her father Fitz John Allen, being the son
of Elizabeth (Allyn) Allen by her first husband, Alexander
Allen. By his wife Elizabeth Allen, Christopher* Christophers
had a daughter

5. Elizabeth^ Christophers, b. , 1749-50; d. Sept. 30, 1825; m.,

as his second wife, to Iciiabod Wetmore, of Middletovvn, Conn.,
b. Aug. — , 1734; d. May 27, 1807, by whom she had a daughter

daughter

8. Elizabeth Christophers' Kimball, b. Nov. 22, 1831 ; d. ; m.

Joseph Hobson. And she it was in the hands of whose heirs the
"cloth of gold" now remains. How did it get there?

Referring to generation No. 5 of this Christophers line it will be
seen that Elizabeth^ Christophers who married Ichabod Wetmore is
the Mrs. Wetmore who wrote the letter quoted by the 9th proprietor
of Gardiner's Island in his letter to the author of Thompson's His-
tory of Long Island. Mrs. Wetmore's mother was Elizabeth Allen,
daughter of Fitz John Allen of New Haven; and her mother's
grandmother (the mother of Fitz John Allen) was Elizabeth (Allyn)
Allen, whose first husband was Alexander Allen of Windsor, Conn.,
and whose second husband was John'' Gardiner, the third proprietor
of Gardiner's Island and its proprietor at time of Captain Kidd's
visit to the Island on June 27, 1699, — she being his third wife and
by whom he had no children. It therefore appears that the state-
ment of Mrs. Wetmore that her mother's grandmother was the
wife of Lord Gardiner (John^ Gardiner being known as Lord of the
Manor) of Gardiner's Island was absolutely correct. But it does
not account for her possession of the "cloth of gold," as it will be

22 The Kidd-Gardiner" Cloth of Golcf and "Pitcher." [Jan.

seen by a scrutiny of the two lines of descent here given, Gardiner
and Qiristophers, that Mrs. Wetniore had no Gardiner blood in her
veins, and therefore the "cloth of gold" could not have come to her
by blood inheritance. An explanation of how the "cloth of gold"
came to be in the possession of Mrs. Wetmore would seem to be as
follows, viz.: Mrs. Wetmore's great grandmother, Elizabeth (Allyn)
Allen, became the third wife of John-' Gardiner. At the time of her
marriage to John^ Gardiner she was a widow (of Alexander Allen)
with one son, Fitz John Allen. She became the mistress of Jolm^
Gardiner's home and stepmother of his 9 living children, and her
own son, Fitz John Allen, also undoubtedly lived there with her. She
was the wife of John' Gardiner from 1712 to about 1733, some 21
years, during which time all of John' Gardiner's children except
David*, the eldest, reached majority and were married. During this
period of 21 years it is more than probable that the "cloth of gold"
was in the Gardiner home on Gardiner's Island and was probably
during that period either given to her by John' Gardiner, or else it
became hers by courtesy of having been for so many years its custo-
dian. Her own son, Fitz John Allen, grew to man's estate on Gardi-
ner's Island and on his marriage previous to Dec. 11, 1726 to Mary
Mansfield, he removed to New Haven ; and it is probable that either
at his marriage or at his mother's death, he, Fitz John Allen, became
the possessor of the "cloth of gold." or at least one-half of it, as it
seems according to Mrs. Wetmore's letter to have been divided into
two parts, one of which has disappeared. Fitz John Allen probably
passed it on to his daughter Elizabeth Allen, who married Christo-
pher* Christophers, and she in turn probably gave it to her daughter
Elizabeth' Christophers, who became the wife of Ichabod Wetmore.
The wife of Ichabod Wetmore in turn probably gave it to her daugh-
ter Elizabeth Wetmore, who in her turn married John Hinsdale ;
and she at her death probably gave the "cloth of gold" to her daugh-
ter Sarah Wetmore Hinsdale. Sarah Wetmore Hinsdale married
Elijah Huntington Kimball and had a daughter Elizabeth Christo-
phers Kimball, to whom she gave the "cloth of gold." Elizabeth
Christophers Kimball married Joseph Hobson and remained until
her death in possession of this Gardiner family heirloom, when it
became a part of her estate and will eventually become the posses-
sion of some one of her heirs.

When this "cloth of gold" was first given to Mary (King) Gar-
diner by Captain Kidd, outside of the romantic character of its
donor, the gift probably had nothing about it to render it in the eyes
of the Gardiner family of special importance; and it was on account
of this probable lack of veneration for it that it disappeared from the
Gardiner family. The fortuitous circumstances of the care with
which it was preserved by John' Gardiner's third wife (by whom
he had no children) and her blood descendants, and the lapse of time
together with history attendant upon its bestowal in the first instance,
has in time elevated this "cloth of gold" to the rank of an honored
heirloom of the Gardiner family, now strangely in the hands of those

igig] The Kidd-Gardiner"Clolh of Gold" and "Pitcher" 23

whose veins contain no Gardiner blood and moreover none of the
blood of Mary (King) Gardiner to whom it was originally given.
It is simply another instance (so frequently occurring) where valu-
able family relics become separated in possession from the family
in whose custody they should properly be found.

It would seem that owing to value which the lapse of time has
bestowed upon this "cloth of gold," and also considering that it is
now in the possession of those who have no blood interest therein,
that it would be wise for this heirloom of the Gardiner family to be
presented to the New York Historical Society for permanent pres-
ervation in its cabinets, together with a full history of the original
bestowal and of the hands through which it passed before reaching
such an appropriate resting place. Thus it would be preserved to
posterity where all interested could at will look upon it.

Mrs. Wetmore in her quoted letter states that Captain Kidd gave
"this silk" (j. e., the cloth of gold) to her mother's grandmother,
who gave it to her tzvo daughters. In this part of her letter Mrs.
Wetmore was evidently in error for the following reasons. In the
first place as already shown Captain Kidd did not present the "cloth
of gold" to Mrs. Wetmore's mother's grandmother (who was the
third wife of John^ Gardiner) ; he gave it to John^ Gardiner's first
wife, Mary (King) Gardiner; and it came into the possession of Mrs.
Wetmore's mother's grandmother because she in due course of events
became John^ Gardiner's third wife. Again Mrs. Wetmore's
mother's grandmother had no two daughters to whom to give it,
in fact she had no daughters at all, having but one son, Fitz John
Allen (by her first husband).

John^ Gardiner by his first wife had 3 daughters and by his
second wife he had i daughter, and by his third and fourth wives no
children. Who then were the two daughters referred to by Mrs.
Wetmore in her letter to whom were given the "cloth of gold"
divided into two parts? It is probable that Mrs. Wetmore's state-
ment in her letter, while founded on hearsay evidence, yet had the
elements of accuracy embodied in it, although somewhat uncon-
sciously distorted in her relation of the same. As John^ Gardiner
had 4 daughters it is unlikely that two of them were selected on
whom to bestow the divided "cloth of gold." Had a division been
made between her daughters it is likely that if it were divided
at all each one of the four would have been given a fourth portion
thereof. My belief is that as stated above the "cloth of gold"
became the possession of Fitz John Allen and he gave it to his daugh-
ter, Elizabeth Allen, in its undivided state. Elizabeth Allen mar-
ried Christopher* Christophers and by him had two daughters,
one of whom, Elizabeth" Christophers, married, as above stated,
Ichabod Wetmore, and a second daughter, Sarah^ Christophers,
who married Henry Latimer. These were the two daughters referred
to by Mrs. W^etmore in her letter. And the missing portion of the
"cloth of gold," if it has not been destroyed by this time, may be
found as a relic in the Latimer family.

24 The Kidd- Gardiner " Cloth of Gold" and "Pitcher:' [Jan.

" Pitcher."

When Captain Kidd gave the -'Cloth of Gold" to Mary (King)
Gardiner, he also gave her a stone-ware pitcher, filled with dried
fruits, which in those early days were regarded as great delicacies.
The pitcher itself is of dark brown color and has the peculiar
exterior known as "ostrich egg finish."

In the distribution of the estate of John' Gardiner, this pitcher
became the property of his son (by his first wife Mary (King)
Gardiner, to wh®m the pitcher was originally given), John^ Gar-
diner (see Gardiner line herebefore) who married Sarah Saltonstall
and by her had a daughter, Jerusha* Gardiner, to whom the
pitcher was given.

Jerusha' Gardiner married John* Christophers, as his first wife
(son of Christopher* and Sarah (Prout) Christophers — see Chris-
tophers line herebefore), and by him she had a daughter Lucretia'
Christophers, to whom the pitcher was given.

Lucretia'' Christophers married John Mumford of Salem, Conn.,
and by him had a daughter, Lucretia Christophers^ Mumford, who
received the pitcher from her mother.

Lucretia Christophers' Mumford married Anthony Thatcher of
New London, Conn., and her eldest daughter by him was Lucretia
Mumford' Thatcher, who in turn received the pitcher from her
mother.

Lucretia Mumford' Thatcher married Nathaniel Hazard Perry,
U. S. Navy, and by him had one child, a son. General Alexander
James* Perry, U. S. Army, who inherited the pitcher from his mother.

Alexander James* Perry married Josephine Adams and by her
he had a daughter (an eldest child), Lucretia Thatcher^ Perry,
who received the pitcher from her father.

Lucretia Thatcher" Perry married Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborn,
and resides at No. 850 Madison Avenue, New York City, and the
pitcher at this writing is still in her possession.

By the above presentment, we see that this family relic,
reviving the remembrance of Captain Kidd's visit to Gardiner's
Island in 1699, has passed down in regular succession to the
present owner, Mrs. Osborn, who is a direct descendant in the
female line of John' Gardiner, 3rd proprietor of Gardiner's Island,
and his first wife, Mary (King) Gardiner, to the latter of whom
both the " pitcher" and the "cloth of gold" were originally given
by Captain Kidd.

This pitcher has always been a valued heirloom in the family
of Anthony Thatcher and his wife, the great-grand parents of the
present owner, and the writer personally knows that it stood for
years on the side-board in the dining room of the Thatcher home-
stead in New London, Conn., until that homestead was sold and
demolished about 1900. On this same side-board, associated as
family treasures with the "pitcher," stood the silver porringers of
Jerusha'' Gardiner and that of Lucretia Christophers' Mumford,
and the old silver tankard of John Mumford of Salem, Conn.
These last three family treasures are now in the possession of the

GABRIEL' LUDLOW (1663-1736) AND HIS DESCENDANTS.

By William Seton Gordon,

Member of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society.

I. Gabriel- Ludlow (son of Gabriel* Ludlow and his wife Mar-
tha , of Frome, County Somerset, England), born Nov. 2, 1663,

at Castle Cary, County Somerset, England, and baptized there Dec.

I, 1663; died , 1736; married April 5, 1697, to Sarah Hanmer

(daughter of Rev. Joseph and Martha (Eddowes) Hanmer), bom

, at ; died , at .

The following is a copy of the entry in the Register of Baptisms
for the Parish of Castle Cary in the County of Somerset, England
(certified March 10, 1883, by Rev. A. W. Grafton, Vicar) :
"Christenings in Yeare 1663
December

The first day of this Moneth Gabriell, the sonne
of Gabriell Ludlow of flfrome and of Martha his
wife, was christened."

This entry records the baptism of GabrieP Ludlow, who in 1694
settled in New York. His grandfather, Thomas Ludlow, was a
younger brother of the Gabriel Ludlow who was Receiver of the
Duchy of Lancaster during the reign of Charles I, and of Roger
Ludlow who became Deputy-Governor of The Massachusetts Bay
Colony in 1634. and married Mary Endicott, sister of Governor John
Endicott. His father was cousin to Cromwell's general, Sir Edmund
Ludlow, who was one of King Charles I's judges and who, at the
Restoration, had to flee from England.

He was born at Castle Cary, Somerset, Nov. 2, 1663, and first
set foot in New York Nov. 24, 1694. His father had died in Eng-
land in 1690, and being a second son, the family estates had remained
with the elder line. It is not unlikely that a younger brother, Wil-
liam, came with him; but of this no authentic record remains. We
do not know the name of the ship in which he came, but we are told
that it suflfered shipwreck at Sandy Hook, whereby our ancestor lost
most of his belongings. This misfortune did not prevent him,
however, from taking, almost from the day of his entrance into the
Colony, that social rank to which he was entitled. He at once
entered upon a successful mercantile career, built and owned ves-
sels in the coasting trade and established a place of business in
Queen (now Pearl ) Street. He also became an extensive land
owner, and obtained a patent from King George II for a tract of
4,000 acres of land in what is now Orange County, on the west bank
of the Hudson River. This was then known as the Rockland Tap-
pan tract.

GABRILL- LUDLOW

1663-1736

The ImmiSranl Ancestor

iQig.] GabrieP Ludlow (1663-1736) and his Descendants. 15

Three years after his arrival, GabrieF Ludlow married Sarah
Hanmer, daughter of tlie Rev. Joseph Hanmer,* Chaplain to His
Majesty's forces in the Province of New York, and of Martha
Eddowes his wife, of whose marriage we have a record at White-
church, Shropshire, in 1663. The Hanmer descent is traced from
Sir John de Hanmere, Knight, 1272, of Hanmer in the County of
Flint, Wales. Sarah Hamner was the youngest of a family of nine,
consisting of two boys and seven girls. We have the names of the
four daughters, Catharine, Hester, Abigail and Sarah, who, upon
the death of their father in New York, petitioned the Governor in
Council to be paid the balance of his salary. The Order in Council
directing the sisters to be paid the balance of the salary is dated April
13, 1691, and applies "from the 6th January, 1689, unto the daye of
his death." Rev. Joseph and Martha (Eddowes) Hanmer had 9
(Hanmer) children, 2 sons and 7 daughters, viz.:

I. Joseph, R. N. Surgeon on H. B. M.'s ship Archangel. Obiit

sine prole.
n. John, attorney-at-law. He married and had 4 (Hanmer)

children :

1. Laight, m. Martha Edwards, daughter of Ralph Ed-
wards, Esq.

2. Samuel, Rector of North Durham.

3. Mary, m.. Geo. Bentley, Gent.

4. Samuel.

HI. Elizabeth, m. Edward Taylor, Gent.

IV. ■ Martha, m. Rev. Wm. Jones.

V. Catharine, m. Samuel Yates, of the Temple, Esqre.

VI. Hester, m. J. Jackson, of Coventry, Gent.

VII. Abigail, m. J. Clark, of London, Gent.

VIII. Rachel, m. Captain Sey, R. N., of Bermuda.

IX. Sarah, m. Gabriel- Ludlow.

Joseph Hanmer, the surgeon, came out with Governor Slough-
ter, in H. B. M.'s Frigate Archangel, which brought out three com-
panies of foot and convoyed four other ships. These vessels sailed
from the Isle of Wight, Dec. i, 1690. They were driven by stormy

* Whitchurch, Shropshire, England.

This is to certify that I have recently caused an examination to be made
of the official Registers or Books of Record wherein have been recorded from
time to time the Births, Marriages and Deaths of the Parish of Whitchurch,
in the County of Shropshire, England (the said Registers being now and
having been continuously since my incumbency in my possession and charge
as Rector of the said Parish), and that I do find recorded there the following
entries made, to the best of my belief at or about the date they respectively
bear, to wit :
(Banns) 1659, Mar. Mr. Joseph Hanmer of Iscoyd, in the county of

Flint and Mrs. Martha Eddow of this parish were publish-
ed three severall Lord's Dayes ending 27 of March 1659.
(Marriage) 1659, March. Joseph Hanmer and Martha Eddow, March 29, 1659.
The above are full, true and correct copies of said original entries.

weather to take refuge in the Bermudas, where they remained three
weeks for repairs, so that it was March 19, 1691, when they at last
dropped anchor in the lower Bay. Governor Sloughter appointed
Joseph Hanmer Post Surgeon at the Fort, formerly called Fort
George, but which Gov. Sloughter renamed Fort William Henry ;
but the surgeon did not long survive the effects of exposure suffered
on the voyage of the Archangel, and died in the Fort in April, 1691.

The marriage of Gabriel- Ludlow and Sarah Hanmer took place
in the Church in the Fort on Easter Monday, April 5, 1697. The
Rev. Mr. Seymour Smith, Chaplain to H. M.'s Forces, officiated.

Of Gabriel- Ludlow's home life in New York but little informa-
tion has come down to us. We know that at one time he resided in
Maiden Lane, and in the Census of New York, taken in 1703, his
name is entered as then residing in the East Ward, and as the mas-
ter of a family consisting of husband and wife, one male child, five
female children, and two negro slaves. Only one or two books have
come down to us of those which he possessed. Upon the fly-leaf of
an ancient book, being Vol. I of the Memoirs of Edmund Ludlow,
Vevey, Switzerland, once in the possession of Thomas W. Ludlow,
Esq., but once owned by Gabriel" Ludlow, is found in the handwrit-
ing of the latter, the following: —

"Translated, Gabriel Ludlow, Senior, in August 1723."

The inscriptioti over his door.

To everyone that is courageous, every soil is his native country,
because of his God, our Heavenly Father.

The Epitaph.
"Stay and Behold :
Here lyes Edmund Ludlow, of the English Nation and the
County of Wilts, son of Sir Henry and Senator of Parliament, who
was himself a member also; of eminent and noble descent, yet more
noble and gifted with remarkable piety. In the 23rd year of his age
he was Colonel, and soone after General of the Army ; then a Sub-
duer of Ireland. In battle courageous and lavish of life: in victory
mild and courteous ; Defender of his country's liberty and a most
vehement opposer of arbitrary power, for the same cause was ban-
ished his country thirty two years, and worthy of a better fortune;
betook himself among the Helvetians, where he enjoyed it to the
73rd year of his age ; at his Death, joyfully leaving his place here,
according to his desire, he is passed to the Eternal Joys.

This monument is dedicated and desired by Mrs. Elizabeth de
Thomas, his most beloved consort, in perpetual memory toward her
deceased husband, being active and most sorrowful as well in mis-
fortune as in wedlock, who out of greatness of mind and efficacie of
conjugal love Thereunto moved constantly followed him in exile to
his decease, which was in the year 1693."

igig.] Gabriel^ Ludlow (1663-1736) and his. Descendants. xi

"New York, ye 9th day of May, 1712.

As I was this evening sitting at ye street door of my house in
Maiden Lane about 9 o'clock, a meteor or Starr shott along ye
Hemisphere from about 25 or 30 degrees above ye South West
Horizon to within about ye 20 degrees of ye North East Horizon ;
as it passed along, it made so great a light in ye hemisphere that
made all things in ye streets appear very visable, though the night
was pretty cloudy. It run this 125 or 130 degrees in about half a
minute."

In the same handwriting, in another book which belonged to him,
we also find the following: —

"Gabriel Ludlow, son of Gabriel Ludlow, was born Nov. 2, 1663 ;
which was a Monday night at twelve o'clock at Castle Gary."

This book, with the original note, is now in the possession of
Mr. Bradish Johnson Carroll.

There is also a note, evidently in his own handwriting, of the date
of his brother's birth at "ffrome, on Sept. 2, 1666." This may be his
brother \\^illiam, who is named as a joint grantee in the patent of the
Tappan Tract, as William Ludlow, Gentleman. From subsequent
recorded deeds, we learn that William's wife was named Mary.

In 1698, family silver, papers and important documents were sent
out from England to Gabriel- Ludlow, but the vessel carrying them
was shipwrecked. Everythingwas lost except awooden chest orcasket.
This subsequently was owned by Miss Arabella Ludlow, who gave it
to her sister, Mrs. Anthony Carroll. A silver teapot and a dozen
teaspoons bearing the family crest were recently in the possession
of Mrs. S. M. Shippen, having been given to her by R. S. Bullus.

GabrieP Ludlow was a devout Churchman. He was named as a
Vestryman in the Royal Charter of Trinity Church, New York,
granted in 1697 by King William III, and served as Vestn.man from
1697 to 1704. and as Clerk of the Vestry from 1700 until his death.
He contributed funds towards the erection of the first or original
edifice, and in 171 1 subscribed towards the building of a steeple.
His son GabrieP Ludlow was a member of the vestry for twenty-
seven years prior to 1769. His son Henry' acted in the same capac-
ity for twelve years, and it has been said that for no period during
two centuries has his blood been unrepresented upon the vestry by
his descendants.

He was also Clerk of the New York House of Assembly from
1699 to 1733, and one of the most prominent and influential mer-
chants in the City.

GabrieP Ludlow died in 1736. and his remains rest in the family
vault under the present Trinity Church.

GabrieP and Sarah (Hanmer) Ludlow had 12 (Ludlow) chil-
dren. 7 sons and 5 daughters, viz.: — (1) Hanmer.' died young; (2")

After his marriage Gabriel George Ludlow retired to his
country seat, which embraced 140 acres, at Hyde Park, near
Hempstead, Long Island (an estate afterwards occupied by
the celebrated William Cobbett), and was closely identified
with public affairs in Queens County up to 1783. He was
appointed Colonel of the Militia of the County, as well as
a Justice of the Peace. He was a staunch Loyalist, and in
1776 became Colonel of the Third Battalion of Brigadier-
Gen. Oliver De Lancey's Long Island Brigade of Royal
Americans. His battalion was stationed during 1777 to
1783 at Brookhaven, but was disbanded in Nova Scotia
after the close of the war. He was appointed a Governor
of King's College (afterwards Columbia College) in 1759
and resigned this honor in 1770. He and his brother, Judge
George Duncan Ludlow, were included in the Act of Attain-
der passed by the Legislature of the new State of New
York, Oct. 22, 1779. All their property was confiscated
and, upon the British evacuation of New York, with nearly
all other prominent Loyalists, thev were forced to leave
their native country. They sailed for England, where their
privations were recognized by the Crown. They were both
appointed members of the King's Council for the newly
created Province of New Brunswick and were given lands
m Carleton and neighborhood. Here they established new
homes, and in December of 1784, they sent for their fami-
lies. During the sea voyaee from New York, the ship con-
taining their wives and children was wrecked off Schoodick
Point on the Massachusetts coast, but ultimately all were
safely landed in their new homes. Gabriel George Ludlow
was a member of the City Council of St. John, New Bruns-
wick. He was first Mayor of St. John (1785 to 1795);
Judge of the Vice Admiralty Court (1787 to 1803) ; Presi-
dent of the King's Council in New Brunswick (1803 to
1808). He was also appointed by the King, Commander-
in-Chief of the Province of New Brunswick, which office
he held until his death. Col. Ludlow built a substantial
mansion in St. John, which is still standing and is known
as "The Old Government House." Here he spent the re-
mainder of his life. He died at Carleton, N. B., Feb. 12.
1808, and was accorded a public funeral, in which the entire

* Note on Descent of the Crommelins.

Lord Robert Stuart, Earl of Orkney (1542), was a natural son of James
V. of Scotland. Robert had a daughter Mary, who married John Sinclair.
Their son William Sinclair married Joanna Gordon, daughter of Gordon of
Clairston, in Rosshire. They had two sons, Robert and James. Robert
(called of Siba), married Beatrix, daughter of General King and had only
one child, James, who died without issue. Thus ended Robert's line. His
brother James (called of Kirkwall), married Anna Sinclair. They had (l)
James, who died without issue, (2) William, who emigrated from Scotland
when a youth and was never again heard from; (3) Robert, of whom later;
and (4) Beatrix, who married John Boind and had a son James Boind.

iQig] Gabriel'' Ludlow (1663-1736) and his Descendants. 47

The family of Sinclair owes its origin to William de Sancte Clair, a Nor-
man Knight, said to be cousin of William of Normandy, and who fought for
William at Hastings in 1066. His descendants penetrated into Northern
Scotland and obtained many charters of land from King Robert I. The first
Earl of Caithness was William Sinclair, Lord High Treasurer of Scotland.
Other cadets of the house are Lord Pentland and Baron Sinclair. Anciently
the landed possessions of the family extended from sea to sea and embraced
the Orkney Islands, then subject to the suzerainty of the crown of Norway.

Robert Sinclair emigrated from Scotland to New York in 1679. Before
leaving Scotland, he procured from the Minister and Elders of the Church at
Ricena, Orkney, a certificate, written in Latin, dated Kirkwall, April 5th,
1677, to the effect that he, Robert, was born in lawful wedlock of an honest
father, James Sinclair, gentleman, of Ricena (whose father was William Sin-
clair and whose mother was Joanna Gordon and whose grandfather was
John Sinclair and whose grandmother was Mary Stewart), and of Anna Sin-
clair, his mother; and is a man of unblemished character, held in high esteem
and leaving his country solely to see the world. This certificate has been
carefully preserved, and is still in existence.

Robert Sinclair married in New York, Maria Duyckinck (daughter of
Gerardus Duyckinck and Mary Duyckinck), who was born March, 1659, snd
died 1731. The date of their marriage was August 15, 1683. Robert Sinclair
died in 1704.

Galterus Du Bois to Charles Crommelin, who was the son of Daniel Crom-
melin, a French Huguenot, and a native of Crencourt, Upper Saone, who had
escaped from France to Amsterdam. Daniel was the son of John Cromme-
lin, and was born in 1646. He and his son Charles were admitted Freemen
of New York in 1698. Daniel died in New York, March 22, 1725, and
Charles died Jan. 8, 1739, aged 60. Both are buried in Trinity Churchyard.
Anna, died Sept. 8, 1743, aged 52, and was buried beside her husband.

Charles Crommelin was the founder in 1720, of the Holland Trading
Company which for years conducted an extensive and lucrative business
between Amsterdam and New York. In this enterprise he was associated
with other well-known Amsterdam bankers — Messrs. Willincks, Ten Broeck
and Schemmelpennick. He also founded the great Amsterdam banking

* Dr. Edward Greenleaf Ludlow was born in New York, when the city
contained only 36,000 inhabitants. His father was a rich and prosperous
merchant and shipowner, conducting branches of his extensive mercantile
business in all parts of the globe; he was also President of the Mercantile
Bank of New York and of other financial institutions, and desired that his
son should be educated for a mercantile career. The family resided in a
magnificent country estate formerly the residence of Joshua Waddington.
but now called Baretto Point on the Sound.

Daniel Ludlow's extended mercantile transactions brought on financial
reverses in 1812, by reason of the seizure by Napoleon L of the free cities
of Germany and the consequent embargo upon trade. At the time of his
father's failure, Edward was a student at Columbia College. Without com-
pleting his college studies he went to Ogdensburg and resided in the family
of David Parish, acting as a clerk of Mr. Russel, who was Mr. Parish's man
of business. When the second war with Great Britain broke out, he joined
Capt. Guest's Company as a lieutenant and fought in the engagement brought
on when the British attacked and captured Ogdensburg. In that battle he
was made prisoner, but escaped by running the Rapids in a skiff. Returning
to his nativecity, he began the study of medicine under Dr. Alexander
Stevens, and in 1825 commenced practice. He was then thirty-two years of
age. Three years later, he married Mary Kennedy Lewis, daughter of
Juan Lewis, who was the son of Francis Lewis, the Signer. He became one
of the best known and most successful practitioners of his day, was elected a
Trustee of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, as well as a Trustee of
the New York .Academy of Medicine, and travelled extensively in Europe,
During his frequent visits to England, he was a welcome guest in the houses
of Lord Lyndhurst, the Lord Chancellor, the Right Hon. John Moncrieff,
Lord Advocate of Scotland, and Sir Henry Hudson, Physician-in-ordinary
to the Queen. He retired from active practice in i86g and removed to his
country residence in Hawthorne Avenue, Yonkers, N. Y. Here he died
July ,■?. 1877. in his 84th year. He was buried in the family vault in Trinity
Churchyard. New York.

property lay between the estates of the late Mr.

the old stone mansion upon the property and built
himself a residence upon a comer of the property

VAN DUSEN RECORDS.

Contributed by the late Albert H. Van Deosen,

Historian of the Van Deursen Family.

These records relate to one Abraham Van Dusen, his colonial military
service in 1756 in Capt. Daniel Roberts' Company and Col. Uroadstreet's
Dutchess County regiment, and to his power of attorney given to his son
Jacob Van Deusen in 181 1 to locate Crown lands for such service, in accordance
with proclamation of the King of Great Britain of 1753.

The originals of these papers are still in existence. I have seen them;
though I did not make the original copies I believe that correct copies were
made for me.

I am unable to find any reference to either officers named in Colonial
Series-Reports, State Historian, S. N. Y., 1896-1897, and have therefore no
record to verify said alleged military service.

From other papers in the case and from family data, Jacob later went to
Indiana where he acquired land. There is a deed, recorded in the Recorder's
Office of Gibson County, in Deed Record " C." on p. 316, made to heirs of Jacob
Vandusen, viz., Eleanor, Piatt, Niles, Sally, John, Ruth, Orville and Erastus
Vandusen.

From the Census records of 1850 I find in Pigeon Township, Vanderburgh
Co., Indiana, a Jacob Van Uusen, b. in Indiana in 1810, a laborer (insane), and

Harlow L. Comstock is No 1440 in Comstock Genealogy, p. 98,
and not the name Horatio L., as given. Descendants of the Judge
did not know the name of his father. I have a letter from Lois,
widow of Capt. William C. Comstock, under date of Feb. 24, 1879.
This letter contains a list of children of Ransford B. Comstock, and
among the names of his eleven children is Harlow L. Census,
Aug. 17, 1850, for Warsaw, Wyoming County, N. Y., contains the
name of Harlow L., his wife and daughter. His age then was 28,
wife Jane O., age 28, and daughter Martha J., age 2 months. Says
all born in N. Y. State. Census of 1830 for Groton, Tompkins
County, N. Y., contains the family of Ransford B. Comstock;
this list shows there a family of eleven: — Harlow L., was born
about i82l~2, so his age then would be eight; this list gives 2
males of 5 and under 10 years, and i male of 40 and under 50 —
I female ofjo and under 40. These last two are the husband and
wife. Harlow L. was born in Groton, N. Y., 1821-2, his descen-
dants say. His ancestors then would be as follows:

Ransford B." Comstock, b. April 25, 1783, New London, Ct.;
m. about 1810, Anna Loveridge, whose parents died at sea when
she was very youug and she was adopted by a family by the name
of Loveridge and renamed Anna Loveridge. Her parents who
died at sea were French and their names are not known at this
time. Their children were: Alonzo,' d. an infant; Alonzo;' Capt.
William C.;' Harlow L.;' Lafayette;' Brainerd;' Caroline;' Laura;'
Sophie;' Lucy;' Ransford.' Judge Harlow L. d. in Canandiagua,
N. Y., Sept. 24, 1883, at the age of 62. Ransford B..^ son of Rans-
ford,' Peter,* Daniel,' Daniel,''' William," of New London, Ct.

In 1836, Harlow L. Comstock, at the age of 15, bought 5 acres
of land in town of Lima, Livingston County, N. Y.

Capt. W'm. C. Comstock, son of Ransford B., had 3 children:
Hannah, Mary and Wm. Harloiv, who resided in 1879 in Oshakosh,
Iowa. Ransford's* will is probated in Cooperstown, N. Y., 1814.
He lived in Exeter, Otsego County. He was in the French and
Indian War, 1758, in Conn. Ransford B. moved his family from
Groton, N. Y., to Friendship Town in Allegheny Co., N. Y., and
it is said he died in 1858 in Chenango County, N. Y. Ransford B.
served in War of 1812 in N. Y. State, 1814 (2 mos.).

73. Sanxay — Correction and Addition.

Mr. Theodore F. San.xay's thin little quarto on The Sanxay
Family, and Descendants of Rev. Jacques Sanxay, Huguenot Refugee
to England in i6S$, which was privately printed in 1907 on Japan-
ese vellum, contains a few errors which were corrected by the
compiler and the errata printed. Also some additional notes
were afterwards made and printed as "Addenda." These were
issued as slips to be inserted at the end of the book. There may
be copies, however, which have never- been reached by these
corrections and addenda, and therefore these are printed here.
Page 8, line 6, read make in place of "made."
Page 10, line 4, read Fonteneau in place of " Fontineau."

Page 12, line 24, xca.d francais in place of " frangaise."
Page 13, line 6, read statue instead of "statute."
Page 14, line 9, read Mesliere in place of " Meshine."
Note I, pp. 17, 133. It should not have been embodied in the
text that Pastor San.xay was ever an apothecary. It was done be-
cause Louis Audiat so states in his Life and Works of Bernara
Palissy, but he cites no evidence to support the statement, and,
after considerable investigation, I am now convinced there is none,
Audiat doubtless confused the Pastor with other Sanxays at
Saintes who unquestionably were apothecaries.
Page 21, line 12, read i^Sg in place of "1587."
Page 24, line 20, read Fariioulx in place of "Farrioulz."
Page 25, line 3, read Brisamboiirg in place of " Brisanebourg."
Page 25. The statement that Suzanne Sanxay was baptized
by Rouspeau was made on the authority of the late Louis Audiat
of Saintes. A closer examination, however, of the text of Crottefs
history makes clear that this last baptism by Rouspeau was of
Suzanne Robelin, dau. of Maistre Robelin, "apothicaire de Pons,"
and of Suzanne Sanxay, who herself was dau. of Pastor Pierre
Sanxay. M. Robelin, her husband, was probably Francois Robelin,
godfather of Pierre Sanxay, "avocat" (see No. 6, p. 136). This
also shows that the Suzanne of No. (2), p. 134, was not, as possibly
supposed, the pastor's daughter.

Note 3, p. 30. The Duke, Henry de La Tremoille, was also
Prince of Tarente and Count of Taillebourg.

place of " Manus-Fiefs."

Note 4, p. 31. Records lately discovered show that Anne
Pichon could not have been Pierre Sanxay's first wife. They
show that a Jeanne Sanxay, dau. of a Pierre Sanxay — without
doubt the Pierre above mentioned — on 5 May, 1653, by contract,
registered before Fleuresson, notary-royal, married Helve Thomas,
sieur de Maine Moreau, chevalier de I'ordre de St. Michel, lieu-
tenant et assesseur au siege de Taillebourg, par lettres de pro-
visions de monseigneur le prince de Tarente, comte de Taillebourg,
des 27 Septembre, 1652, et 8 Juillet, 1654. Records, relating to
many cases before said Thomas, as seigneurial Judge, under his
appointment by said Prince, are now among the archives of the
Charente Inferieure. The chateu du Maine Moreau was situated
in the parish of Annepont, near Taillebourg, and the landed estate
of Pierre Sanxay — the Blanchardieres — was in the same parish.
Jeanne died about 1662. There was one child of the marriage, a
boy, also named Helye.

now come, showing that Josue Sanxay was the father of Pastor
Jacques Sanxay, the refugee to England. It was found in the

records of a presidial court (at Saintes) now in the archives of the
Charente Inferieure. These records also show that Josue Sanxay
and Maria Vivier were married I2 April, 1639, by contract regis-
tered before Pryvallaud, notary-royal; that Josue made a will 3
February, 1667, registered before Mongrand, notary at Taillebourg;
that an inventory of his estate, after death, was made. 17 August.
1670; that Pastor Jacques San.xay married Marie Moreau, 28 April,
1678, by contract, registered before Moreau, notary-royal, and
that his sister Anne married Josue Pouliou, 20 May, 1671, by con-
tract, registered before Chasseloup, notary-royal. Thus, beginning
with Pastor Pierre Sanxay, an authentic genealogical chain, down
to the present time (May, A. D., 1910), is established beyond a
question.

Note 6, p. 43. The home of Daniel Meschinet and Ruth San-
xay was doubtless at or near Clerac, 16 kilometres southeast from
Saintes. Their three children, and order of birth, were as follows:
fitienne, b. 1669; Jacques, b. 1671; and Daniel, b. 1674.

Note 8. pp. 65, 151. It has recently come to light that Rev.
James Sanxay of Tetcott was twice married, first at London.
22 April, 1720, to Charlotte Mary Caches, in St. Martins-in-the-
Fields (London), his brother Daniel officiating. She was also of
Huguenot descent. She died and was buried at Penzance, 19 Sep-
tember, 1722. Charlotte, who was a daughter of this marriage,
was baptized at Penzance, 24 August, 1721, which explains why
the record was not found at Tetcott.

Note 9, p. 71. Edmund Sanxay, 12 April, 1758, was elected a
member of the Court of Assistants of the Company of Surgeons
at London, "to have hold and enjoy the said office according to
the late Act of Parliament and the By-laws of the corporation."
This election was a tribute to his high distinction in his profession.
A part of the court's duties was to examine candidates for
positions as surgeons in the army and navy. At a meeting of the
Court held I July, 1762, announcing his intention to withdraw from
active professional service and retire to the country, he resigned
from the Court. He was then 47 years of age. The Court had
secured premises in the Old Bailey and had there built Surgeon's
Hall, where its meetings were held during his membership.

Note II, p. 137 (8), (9) and (10). That Suzanne Sanxay, wife
of Jean Raboteau, had several children is now known, but not their
names. One of them, a daughter, married Pierre Dangirard, "mar-
chand, du logis noble de La Forest." After her husband's death
(about 1701), Suzanne was "tutrice'" for their minor children, and
in 1708, her son-in-law Dangiraud was her ''procurettr pour le
reglement des affaires des mineurs Raboteau." Dangirard, as ap-
pears from the seigneurial records of the Comte de Taillebourg,
preserved in the archives of the Duke de LaTremoille, was living as
late as 1724. In 1722 he rendered homage, as ^'procureur du la dame
de St. Andreux pour raison de la terre et seigneurie d'Anepont et
ses dependances," he being then designated as "marchand, de l,a
Rochelle." The record of this homage, in the classification of the
documents of the seigneurial collection, was included with those
relating to the Fief de La Forest. This great Fief comprised,
among others, the Fiefs of the Blanchardieres and Maine Moreau,
of which Pierre Sanxay and Helye (Elie) Thomas, respectively,
were seigneurs. Its seigneur was Joachim de Jaucourt, who was
also seigneur de Monestreux, St. Andreux, and other places.
Between his family and that of said Pierre Sanxay there seems to
have been close relations during three generations of the latter's
family. From 1663-1665 notarial records show Pierre Sanxay, as
attorney for said Joachim, and Clorinde de Mathe, his wife, in
more than one instance. In 1673, Jean Fabvereau (husband of
Pierre's daughter Francoise), Sieur de Touchereau, and "receveur
du lieux de La Forest," where he lived, was witness to the will of
Benjamin de Jaucourt, escuyer, seigneur de St. Jermain, made at
the chateau de La Forest, while on a visit to his brother Philepes,
then the seigneur de La Poorest. These matters show some of the
conditions existing at Taillebourg. . . .

"Daniel Ouinby moved to Henrietta, N. Y., June, 1822, and

The third marriage of Daniel Quinby was a sad mistake for all
concerned. He was represented by those interested in promoting
the affair, as possessing considerable property, which the bride-to-
be was desirous of marrying, for she was an ambitious woman.
Her disappointment was bitter and her treatment of her aged hus-
band proved her feelings. To one so gentle and kindly as was this
old preacher the blow was most severe, and he did, indeed, "go
down in sorrow to his grave.

84 Departmeni for Registration of Pedigrees. [Jan.

Bcpartmrnt for Registration of ^Dcliigrccs*

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 INDI-
VIDUAL, whether a member of the Society or not.

Those desiring to take advantage of the facilities thus offered 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 $5.00, 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 BiOGR.\pniCAL Record, — see issues from
April, 191 1, 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

106. FELCH FRANK HERVEY PETTINGELL

Henry' Felch, the immigrant ancestor, b 1590. about, at Wales (possibly); d. Aug. . . ,

1670, at Boston, Mass.; m. (i) at (before coming ttj this country probably), to

Margaret ? (whose maiden surname and parentage are not as yet determined), b

at ; d. 23rd of 4th month (June), 1655, at Boston. Mass.; m. (2) (after 2nd of 8th

month, 1656), at (Boston, Mass., probably), to Elizabeth ( ) Wiborne (widow of

Thomas' Wiborne, who d. at Boston, 2nd of 8th month, 1656; her maiden surname and parentage
are not as yet determined), b , at ; d. May 12, 1682, at Boston, Mass.

Res.; Henry^ Felch. the first of the name in this country, was b. about 1590. He is supposed to have come from Wales ([)f which
tradition there is nu prool) wUh the party uf Rev. Richard Blynman in 1640. Tliis party landed first at Plymouth,
where Mr. Blynman is meniiuned in the records, March 2. 1641; they next a[jpeared at Marshfield, which town was in-
corporated March 1. 1642. and was then called Greeu's Harbor. In less than a year the party removed to Gloucester,
Mass.. where in 1642 Henry* Felch was owner of " six acres of hoed ground," of which ground tliere is no grant on the
records, so it may be interred that he was in Gloucester before iis incorporation as a town. Gloucester was settled
between October. 1641 (when the bounds of the town were approved by the General Court) and Mav. 1642, wlien it was
established or incorporated as a plantation called Gloucester. The first marriage recorded in Gloucester is that of

"a daughter of Henry ^ Felch to Samuel Haieward. March 2, 1641 (,N. S )" Savage (vol, ii, p. 393) indicates that

Samue; Hai -ward's wife was named Isabel, but there are several reasons why this is not likely.

Henryi Felch was a ptof.rietor in Watertown, Mass., in 1642. and was perhaps of Reading, Mass., in 1644. He lived
during his later years iu Boston, Mass., where he d. between July 4, 1670 (the date of his will) and Sept. 27, 1670, the
date of its probate.

Presumably before coming to this country, he m. his first wife Margaret ? whod. in Boston in 1655; his second

wife wa=; the widow of Thomas' Wiborne. who came to this country on the ship Castle in 1638. from Teiiierden. County
Kent. Eng.. aud who d. in Boston, 2ad of 8th month, i6s6, and whose will was dated Sept. 12, 1656, and proved
Oct. 28, i6s6.

Children, 4 (Felch). ail by his ist m,. i son and 3 da us., viz:— i. Henry.- b , 1610, about (see below). 2 dau.- (perhaps

Isabel-), b ; m. March 2. 1641, at Gloucester, Mass., to Samuel Haieward. 3. Anna- (or Hannah^), b ; m.

S-imuel Dun too of Reading, Mass.. who d. Nov. 7. 16S3; she d. July 11. 1689. 4. Mary,- b ; m, John- Wiburn (or

Wiborne). her step-brother, son of Thomas^ Wiborne of Boston, by his wife Elizabeth, who became the 2ad wife of
Henryi Felch.

Eliz.^beth( ) Wiborne had by her ist husband, Thomas^ Wiborne, 7 (Wiborne) children. $ sons and 2 daus.,

viz: — I. Thomas,- executor of his father's will: m. (ij .Abigail Eliot, who d. at Boston, .-Vpril 24. lotjo; m. (21 Kuth

will.

Henry'^ Felch, b , bapt 1610, at , Wales (possibly); d. Nov. 11, i6qq, at Reading,

Mass.; m 1649, at , to Hannah Sargent (dau. of Rev. William' and his first wife

Hannah ( ) Sargeant of Charlestown, Maiden and Barnstable, Mass.), b (bapt. July 13,

1629), at Northamptonshire, Eng.; d. Dec. 15, 1717, at Reading, Mass.

Res.: Henry2 Felch was b. ab )ut 1610. according to tradition in Pembrokeshire, Wales. Great Britain, and came to America with
his parents. He was a proprietor at Gloucester, Mass., and settled for a time in Watertown. Mass.. and then removed
to Reading. Mass., in 1647. where he was prominent in town affairs, being a Selectman in 1647. 48. 51 and in ifcSi- and
Surveyor of Highways in 1648. He probably resided in Boston for a time as several of his children were born theie.
His estate was inventoried Uec. 13, loqg. his son John^ Felch being administrator. In the town records of Reading he
is often spoken oi as "Sergeant Henry Felch," which shows that he was a member of the first military corps of Read-
ing, formed probably at the time ot the incorporation of the town in 1644. and called "" Reading Intantry Company."
The first captain of this company was Richard Walker, who was also an ancestor of the proponent, Frank Hervey
Pettingell.

Falls, N. H. His name appears among the taxpayers iii Hampton Falls in 1747-8-9 and 1750. He douhtless studied
medicine under some physician in or near Reading, Mass., and was for many yccirs a practicing physician in and about
the vicinity of Hampton Falls. N. H. Seabrook was set off from Hampton Falls, N. H.. on June 3, 1768.

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 lown. County and State History, or works embodying information regarding the
Vital Records of any and all localities. It also solicits the donation to the manuscript collections
Of Its library any and all manuscript compilations which bear upon the above mentioned topics

In consideration of such donations the works so presented to the Society will be at once
placed upon the shelves of its library and will be reviewed in the next subsequent issue of The
New York Gknealogical 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 Rkcord 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 subiects, as its library is spi-cialized and cannot accommodate material
which does not bear directly upon its recognized sphere of usefulness.

Donations for review in the January issue of I'hb Record should be delivered to the
Society before December 1st of the previous year; for the April issue, before March ist: tor the
July issue before June 1st; and for the October issue, before September 1st.

All donations will be generously reviewed with a view of calling the attention of the public
to their good points; but, while generous, the reviews will contain such proper criticism as the
interest of the genealogical student would expect from the editorial staff of The Rfcord.

The "Book Notices" ol 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.

New Haven Historical Society Papers, Vol. IX. 8vo, cloth, pp. 477,

stated. Address: Secretary of the Society, New Haven, Conn.

The first volume of this series was published in 1865, and this, the gth and
last, in iglS. It would seem that with the wealth of Colonial and Revolu-
tionary material at their disposal that we might hope for a more liberal flow
of information from this source. This special volume is rendered particularly
valuable on account of the article on Jared Ingersoll, Stamp Master, and the
Stamp Act, by Edwin S. Lines, and for a selection from the Correspondence
and Miscellaneous papers of Jared Ingersoll, edited by Franklin B. Dexter.

Recommended to general reference and historical libraries.

sented and the illustrations of its various sections and of those who have

At the request of a committee of representative men of the State of Penn-
sylvania, this autobiography of one of Pennsylvania's foremost men is placed
before the public "Unaltered — Unedited — Une.xpurgated." Why the book
should interest the general reader is best explained in the author's own words:

"I have been brought into relations with the Presidents from Lincoln to
Roosevelt ; with the Generals Grant, Sherman, Hancock, Sickles. Howard and
Sheridan, and have corresponded with Darwin, Le Comte de Paris, DeHoop,
Scheffer, Bayard Taylor and Lloyd Mifflin. I have made addresses at Stony
Point and at Gettysburg. I have presided over the Law .Academy, the His-
torical Society of Pennsylvania, the University of Pennsylvania, a court, and
the Commonwealth. I bave walked one hundred and seventy-five miles on
a stretch and have ridden down Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol to
the White House at the head of ten thousand men. I have carried on my

back at one time twenty pounds of putty and at another a musket. I have
made pills in Kensington, thrown a load of wood into a Chestnut Street
cellar, kept the books of an oil company, mowed weeds in a meadow, gathered
a great library, written eighty books and pamphlets, tried men for murder
and sent sixty-six criminals to be hanged. Therefore is this story begun."

The original volume and addenda by his son, Samuel Hutchins, was pub-

notable deeds that warrant far more than the inadequate recognition which

The Romance of Philadflpiiia. by John T. Paris. 8vo, cloth, pp. 3,^6,
including inde.x, illustrated with frontispiece in color and too plates in double
tone. J. R. Lippincott Company, publishers, 1918. Price, $4.50. net. Address:
publishers.

"The fact that Philadelphia was the center for a long period of the colonial
life of the nation gives this volume an historical appeal to all Americans.
There is no romance like that of the lives of those who. when duty calls, dare
to venture in the dark, who are content to lay the foundations on which others
may build. These words tell the truth concerning the life of the pioneer, a
life of toil, of sacrifice, of heroic endurance, but withal a life of real joy, to
them, and to those who look back on it. a life of the richest romance. Much
of the material for the volume has been gathered from manuscripts and gene-
alogical records in the matchless collection of the Historical Society of Pcnn-
syhania, from the files of the Pennsylvania Historical Magaine, which is a
vast treasure-house of curious and interesting facts about the early history of
Philadeli)hia and Pennsylvania, and from many rare books and original
sources. The illustrations are of the most various and interesting character."

Life and Times of Stephf.n Girard. Marinf.r and Merchant, by John

8vo, cloth, illustrated and indexed. Price, $5.00.

A splendid testimonial to an historic personage, whose life history was truly
a romance. Born in Bordeaux in 1750. at the a.ge of 16. young Girard became
a cabin boy in a vessel in which his father had taken a venture, on a trading
voyage to San Domingo. In 1773 he was licensed to act as captain of mer-
chant ships and in July, 1774, sailed for New York with a cargo of sugar and

iglg.] Accessions to the Library. gj

coffee. So began his connection with this country.. He found employment
with a shipping firm there and continued his voyages. He never returned to
his native city. While at New Orleans the news of the war between Great
Britain and her American Colonies reached him, and fearing the capture of
his vessel, he entered into a fictitious sale thereof to a French merchant, and
proceeded on his way, reaching Cap Frangais in April, 1776. He sailed soon
thereafter from St. Pierre as master of the ship La Jcune Babe, and fate
ordained that he should put into Philadelphia because of high winds and seas
and especially the lack of fresh water. This city was destined to become the
future home of the ship's Captain.

During the war Girard continued his shipping ventures, engaging in pri-
vateering enterprises, and after the peace traded with French San Domingo,
until the massacre of the whites by the negroes put an end to all business
undertakings there. Then Girard turned to Europe and became a bold and
ad\ enturous trader, taking great risks, suffering heavy losses but reaping rich
profits. When the War of 1812 broke out he became the first private banker in
the United States and rose rapidly to importance in national finance. Our
author states that it was his great subscription that enabled the Government
to float a loan of sixteen million dollars and a later subscription of three mil-
lion dollars that made it possible to organize the second Bank of the United
States ; and it was the building of its home office, which Girard bought in 1812,
that became known as Girard's Bank.

Mr. Girard died of pneumonia on December 21, 1831, in his 8lst year.
One of his great benefactions was the founding of a "permanent college" for
the benefit of poor white male orphans, and his will bequeathed a sum for the
public good of vaster proportions than a private citizen had ever previously
done. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania received $300,000 and the City of
Philadelphia cash and real estate which has increased in value at this date to
over $32,700,000.

The volumes before us are illustrated with the posthumous portrait of the
subject of the biography and the ship Good Friends, both in color, and a num-
ber of doubletones.

The work relates in true perspective the life story of a cabin boy on a
French merchantman trading with San Domingo to that of the merchant
prince, greatest private banker and greatest public benefactor of his time.

Truly a remarkable career of a remarkable man and told in a convincing,
lucid, and fascinating way which is not only enjoyable to read but of great
value as an example worthy of emulation.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

By Chauncey M. Depew,

Honorary Member of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society.

Theodore Roosevelt was my friend from his boyhood until
his death. No one could know him without having for him the
profoundest affection and the greatest admiration. He was one
of the most extraordinary men of our period, or of any period ; he
made history and was a most important factor in the history of
his time. His whole public career is lined with monuments in
beneficent legislation and individual achievement, testifying to
services for his country and the world of the greatest value. He
was born two years before the breaking out of the Civil War and
was President of the United States when it was the necessity of
the Executive to have a united country in support of policies for
the benefit of the whole United States. For this destiny he was
fortunate in his ancestors: his father of Dutch and Scotch ances-
try, was a leading citizen of New York and one of the most useful
and prominent citizens of the North ; his mother was from
Georgia and represented the best blood and traditions of the
South. He could appeal, as no President had been able to since the
Civil War, to all sections of the country. North, South, East and
West. Harvard gave him an eastern culture and ranch life on
the western plains brought him in contact and close association
with those pioneers who have discovered, developed and peopled
our territories, from the Mississippi to the Pacific.

Mr. Roosevelt had the adaptability, the energy, the grasp of
affairs, the talent for instantly comprehending difficult problems
which would have made him a great captain of industry and one
of our multi-millionaires. He inherited a small trust estate, the
income of which was not sufficient for more than a quarter of his
expenses of living and yet it had the singular effect upon him of
destroying all ambition to accumulate a fortune. He always felt
sure that by his own exertions he could so supplement this
limited income as to meet all requirements, and at the same time
the income was an anchor which in great stress or necessity
would prevent his drifting to want.

98 Theodore Roosevelt. [April

This confidence of Mr. Roosevelt was due, even at that early
day, to his love of work for work's sake. He had a consuming
desire to be all the time doing something and producing some-
thing. When he was Governor, with all the exactions of the
place, he, nevertheless, found time to write books. He was under
contract with his pul)lishers on both the African hunting trip and
the Brazilian journey of exploration. After a day of rough travel
and perilous adventure, when all his companions were used up
and asleep, he sat by a box on which was a candle and by its
flickering light wrote the day's chapter for his book. He was
daily contributing to the press, and toweeklyand monthlymagazines
constantly giving interviews and making speeches, and yet in
some mysterious way found time for conferences with political
leaders, with men of letters, with distinguished visitors, with his
publishers, the managers and the editors of his magazines and
newspapers.

He was a frequent attendant at social functions, and the
most desired and welcomed of guests at public and private
dinners. He was tem])eratc in all things, but a glutton for work.

His activities were during the greatest period of industrial
development which this country has ever known, a period in
wliich masterful men developed in an unprecedented way our
natural resources, our manufacturing and our transportation
with results that were enormously beneficial to communities and
multitudes of people, but yielded fabulous returns to the
architects.

Colonel Roosevelt admired these men and their achievements
hut alwa3-s looked upon them and what they did from the stand-
point of public safety and public service. His clear vision was
never obscured. He had no fear of big business and to his mind
the bigger the better, if the best results for all could be had that way ;
at the same time, if in his judgment the process was becoming dan-
gerous to the public welfare because of its tendency to monopoly
he became at once its enemy.

I remember as if it were yesterday the commencement of his
career. From the beginning his ambitions were for public life and
public service. A Republican district leader, forty years ago, came
to my office and said : "We have this difficulty in our district. A
small part of it is composed of what the hoys call 'silk stockings' liv-
ing along Fifth Avenue and the adjoining streets, while the major
part of it runs over into sections which are under the control of
Tammany Hall. To keep our organization alive and secure for the
boys some recognition in office holding, I have to deal with a very
difficult problem. These dealings have offended the 'silk stockings.'
but we need their votes and especially their contributions. I can
think of but one way out and that is to nominate for the legislature
a representative of these men of wealth and high social position.
What do you think of young Theodore Roosevelt?" Of course I
became enthusiastic at once. "Well," said die astute leader, "we
will have a dinner at Delmonico's and bring him out. None of our

I9I9-] Theodore Roosevelt. gn

organization will attend, none but that class will be invited, but I will
be in the pantry. I want you to preside." The dinner was a great
success; there were about three hundred present. It settled the
question as to whether the district organization was patriotically
doing its duty, because everyone present said, and they all knew each
other, "What lies and slander have been perpetrated and circulated
against our district !"

Young Roosevelt was at that time about twenty-two years old,
but he looked much younger. He did not have the clear and con-
fident way of talking which made him in after years such an impres-
sive speaker. He cultivated oratory until he became past-master of
public speech for influencing public opinion. He read for about an
hour from his maiuiscript to an audience of as hard-headed, practical
and successful men as could be gathered in New York. They were
tolerant of his emphatic views on the evils of city, State and national
government and how he would correct them.

It is one of the extraordinary things in politics that this young
man of twenty-two, afterwards as Police Commissioner of New
York, as Governor of the State of New York and as President of
the United States, had the opportunity to carry out these policies and
to translate them into laws. He was for three years a member of the
Legislature and, notwithstanding his youth, came very near being
made Speaker. He impressed himself upon the whole State so that
he was made Giairman of the New York delegation to the Republi-
can National Convention which met in Chicago in 1884. There, as
ever afterwards, he was for high ideals. The Party organization
learned that here was a rising force which they could not break, but,
as far as possible, must come to follow. Tlie organization was over-
whelmingly for Blaine, but Roosevelt organized a party and led it
with his usual enthusiasm and vigor for George F. Edmunds, the
famous Senator from Vermont. This action put the organization
against him and kept him out of public life for the next two years.
President Harrison put him at the head of the Civil Service Com-
mission. The spoils system was very popular, especially among
members of Congress. It was Roosevelt's peculiarity and distinction
that, whatever duty was imposed upon him. it was done to the best
of his ability without regard to popularity. He became the best
hated man in Washington by increasing the offices subject to the
Civil Service examination from ten thousand to over forty thousand.
New York had elected a Reform Mayor. He found that the Police
Department blocked and neutralized all his efforts. He must have
a man who would do right and in doing right, dare to be unpopular,
The most conspicuous example in the country was Theodore Roose-
velt and Mayor Strong made him Police Commissioner.

The new Commissioner startled, aroused and enraged a wide
open city where the law against vice had always been laxly enforced,
if at all, by announcing as his policy the rigid enforcemetit of the
laws. Saloon-keepers and gamblers, votaries of pleasure and all that
multitude who in a great city, if unrestrained, violate the law, were
instantly up in arms. They formed a great parade for personal

liberty but to their amazement found occupying the front seat on the
revnewing stand the new Police Commissioner. A German brewer
shouting, "Where is Roosevelt now?" was amazed by hearing the
Police Commissioner say, "ffere I am, my friend, what can I do for
you?" The surprise reversed the (German mentality, the brewer
called three cheers for Roosevelt, and that part of the procession col-
lapsed. Wherever in the districts infested by gangs and gunmen
the patrolman's life was always in danger, there, at all hours, would
be found strolling along and in constant peril of assassination, Mr.
Roosevelt. Discipline and efficiency soon made the New York police
the finest body in the world.

But this great cosmopolitan city soon grew tired of the virtue
which comes from the enforcement of the law, so Mr. Roosevelt
accepted the offer from President McKinley of Assistant Secretary
of the Navy. This appointment is an illustration of the ways of
Providence in providing the man for an emergency.

There was a crisis in our international relations because of
intolerable conditions in Cuba. With his usual foresight and instinc-
tive grasp of situations the Assistant Secretary of the Navy saw that
war was inevitable and began to prepare the navy for its part. After
much opposition he succeeded in having Dewey appointed to the
command of the Asiatic squadron. It was an era of rigid economy
and saving of powder. Roosevelt's resistless importunities secured
an appropriation of nearly a million and a half for powder. W'hen
asked by Congress what he had done with it, he said, "burned it up
in target practice." So when the Spanish War came, while there
was unpreparedness everywhere else, Dewey's gTjnners sank the
enemy's fleet in Manila Bay and the marksmen of Sampson and
Schley destroyed, while they were trying to escape from Santiago
Harbor, the hostile warships. So great was the terror in the depart-
ment of this young Assistant Secretary that the Secretary of the
Navy, a most estimable gentleman and excellent officer, having
arrived at the station in Washington to take the train for his vaca-
tion, changed his mind and returned to his desk, saying, "I must
watch my .'Xssistant Secretary."

Mr. Roosevelt was one of the few more responsible than others
for bringing on the Spanish War. It is well known that the Presi-
dent did his best to prevent it. It was the characteristic of Roose-
velt that he never asked from others that they volunteer for a
dangerous enterprise unless he was willing to share in it himself.
So he raised the "Rough-riders" regiment and, by gallantry in action,
became the foremost figure in the Spanish-American War.

The poHtical situation in New York State was very critical for
the party in power. The people had voted nine millions of dollars
to improve our canals. Governor Black ordered an investigation
which resulted in finding that one million of it had either been lost
or stolen. The canals have always been ]X)litically perilous to the
party in power in the State of New York. They belong to the people
and the people are exceedingly sensitive as to the integrity of their

I9I9-] Theodort Roosevelt. lOI

management. Mr. Thomas C. Piatt was our State leader and asked
me to a consultation as to a candidate for Governor. He said, "Ben
Odell," afterwards our distinguished Governor Odell, "has advised
me to select Roosevelt who is in camp on Long Island, having just
returned from Cuba, but as Police Commissioner, Civil Service Com-
missioner and Assistant Secretary of the Navy he has always been
uncontrollable either by the party organization or his superior and I
am afraid that he might be most dangerous to our organization." I
said to him, "In my judgment, Roosevelt is the only man we can
elect." Having been all my life on the platform, I judge of every
question, in politics or business, which affects the public, by how it
will be received by the people in an audience. Of course I shall make
speeches as always and will expect the heckler to ask questions. He
is bound to say, "Your eulogy of the grand old party is all right,
but how about that million of dollars stolen from the canal fund?
Then the speaker has to explain that it was only a million and that
will be fatal, but if you nominate Roosevelt I can say to my friend,
the heckler, I am very glad you asked that question. We have
nominated for Governor the greatest thief catcher there is in the
world ; as Police Commisioner he cleaned up New York and in the
Cuban War he has cleaned up that Island. He is the one man who
will find out what became of that money, and if it was stolen to
punish the thieves and secure restitution. The band will play the
Star Spangled Banner."

The old gentleman said, "That settles it, he will be nominated."
Nothing has impressed me so much as the accidents of public
life. In business and professional careers, brains, industry and
efficiency always tell, but not so in politics. The National Conven-
tion which met in Philadelphia in 1904 was a unit for the re-nomina-
tion of Mr. McKinley, but all at sea about the Vice-President.
Roosevelt's independent and masterful administration of New York
as Governor had made him so powerful that not to re-nominate him
was to court defeat and to re-nominate him was equally dangerous
on account of the hostility of the local organization all over the
State. So there was a general assent to his being put on the ticket
with McKinley for Vice-President. Mr. Roosevelt strenuously
opposed it. He said, "The Vice-Presidency is a tomb and I will not
be buried." By general consent a candidate was left to the New York
delegation. Governor C)dell was the leader of the delegation for
convention purposes and I was elected its Chairman for routine
duties. It was an historical hour when the New York delegation
met. With fervent and eloquent speeches. Governor Roosevelt was
placed in nomination. In a most emphatic speech he declined. The
question was put to a vote and he was nominated unanimously. In
great agitation he again declined. There was a small minority de-
termined to put in the place a very popular member of the delegation
but not of Vice-Presidential standing. So after further debate we
nominated Roosevelt again, and when he again declined, I declared
the meeting adjourned to prevent further action. The next morning
he accepted. This was the crisis of his career.

I02 Theodore Roosevelt. [April

In a few months after his inauguration, McKinley was assassi-
nated, Roosevelt became President and gave to the country seven
years of the most eventful and fruitful Presidential terms in our
history. An incident of the convention may be of interest. There
being no contests because the nominations were unanimously agreed
upon, the orators of the convention had no opportunity of presenting
the claims of various candidates, so they exhausted themselves and
exhausted the audience by making practically the same speeches
over and over again for Mr. McKinley and Governor Roosevelt.
The crowd had ceased to listen and had begun to scrape the speakers
down, when a western delegation came to me and said, "You never
get out our way, and we would like to hear you speak." Roosevelt
as a fellow delegate sat immediately in front of me. He turned
around and said in his quick way, "Yes, yes, he will speak. He must
give us something new; if these bores keep this up any longer it
will beat the ticket." And he seized me and practically threw me
upon the platform. It was one of those occasions where a story is
the only salvation for a speaker. Near me sat a portentiously solemn
United States Senator whose platitudinous speech had already been
delivered three times. As I started the story he turned to the Chair-
man and in a horrified and tragic voice said "Great Heavens! The
solemnity and dignity of this historic occasion is to be ruined by a
story."

Great and successful leadership requires many qualities. I
have known, beginning with Lincoln, with considerable intimacy
every President of the United States. None of them had all these
qualities except Mr. Roosevelt. He was a born leader of men. His
industry was phenomenal and he had in addition that intelligence
in woric which taught him where to find that which he wanted,
and a marvelous sagacity which grasped, absorbed and utilized
this material with the precision of a machine.

He loved companionship and found time to enjoy his friends.
When that friend left, he had contributed all he possessed to the
materials useful to this great Executive. He might be a college
professor, a United States Senator, a Foreign Ambassador, a State
Governor, a Justice of the Supreme Court, a labor leader, a cowboy
from the ranches, a hunter from the mountains, a traveler from over-
seas, all were equally welcome and all equal contributors.

In looking over the acts recommended and the laws passed dur-
ing Roosevelt's administration, we find a mass of constructive work,
of progress and reform, which gathers, condenses and puts in prac-
tice the accumulated necessities which had arisen since the close of
the Civil War.

We rejoiced in our marvelous prosperity at the same time that it
was our greatest peril. A few masterful men were combining the in-
dustriesof the country and had almost perfected theconsolidation of
its transportation. Roosevelt then, of his co-temporaries, with his
unequaled insight into public opinion saw a gathering storm. He
sensed an unrest which was culminating into dangerous hatred of
success. He set about vigorously to correct these evils and sue-

Iglg.] Theodore Roosevelt. I03

ceeded. His railway legislation did away with many of the abuses
which had necessarily grown up with the rapid progress of railway
building and consolidation. He put a curb on great Trusts and
blocked the way of general monopoly. He incurred the bitter and
venomous hostility of powerful interests in the financial world, in
speculative circles and in the stock exchanges, but when he sent, as
he was in the habit of doing, for captains of industry, he converted
at least one of the ablest of them by putting in a sentence a pregnant
truth, "Sir, you have to deal with me, now, or the mob later."

For four hundred years, ever since Balboa, the Spanish explorer,
crossing from the Atlantic saw nearby the Pacific, the world has
tried to unite the two oceans across the Isthmus of Panama. Where
the centuries had failed, Roosevelt succeeded. Except for his drastic
action the Canal would not have been built. It may not be a moral or
an ethical or a legal answer to the question but the reasons for Presi-
dent Roosevelt's action are summed up in the remark of John Hay,
his Secretary of State, to a delegation of objectors. It was: "We
have the Canal."

Mr. Roosevelt's explanation of the acquisition of the Panama
Canal, made in a recent address on Mr. Choate, was characteristic.
It was in no sense an apology; he never had occasion for that. He
said, "In the effort to secure the land and a concession of the rights
required for the constaiction of the Canal, there was a succession
of negotiations resulting in agreement and then a breaking of the
agreement by Colombia, with a demand for constantly increasing
compensation. I made up my mind that the talking about the Canal
might go on for fifty years without results, so I decided to secure for
our country the Canal and let the people talk about me as they
pleased for the next fifty years."

The people so thoroughly appreciated the wise radicalism and
the constructive work of his administration that they wished for him
to violate the traditions against a third term. He had great difficulty
in escaping the call and in nominating his selection for the office.
Judge Taft. He threw himself into Taft's campaign with an energy
and resistless force never surpassed in any Presidential canvass.
His rare unselfishness was exhibited by his absenting himself imme-
diately and for two years afterwards in the wilds of Africa in order
that his overpowering personality might not embarrass the adminis-
tration of his successor.

He believed, and he had good reasons for believing, that a
majority of the delegates elected to the convention from Republican
constituencies in 1912 were for him and that they were thrown out
and the majority reversed upon technical grounds.

Whatever may be thought of his action in bolting the ticket,
there never was such a demonstration of power by an individual.
He was a private citizen without patronage, or the usual resources
for propaganda. We are as a rule devoted to our parties and to their
organizations and yet he polled four millions of votes, carrying a large
majority of the party. The division thus created led to the election
of Mr. Wilson and a Democratic Congress. But the second demon-

I04 Theodore Roosevelt. [April

stration of marvelous individual povi^er was when four years after-
wards he disbanded this Progressive Party, and its four millions of
votes, and united the Republican organization in support of the
regular candidate. Governor Hughes.

Two illustrations of his power have no parallel in the life of
any Executive. War has now given absolute power to the United
States Government to settle strikes through various Boards and
arbitrary machinery. Roosevelt had none of these. The coal strike
threatened a coal famine which would have paralyzed our industries
and caused general distress. President Roosevelt summoned the
employers, the mine owners, the operators and the leaders of the
miners' union, and purely by his magnetism, force, personality and
grasp of the situation brought about a settlement which opened the
mines and continued for many years.

He was the most vigorous of fighters, and if a fight was neces-
sary believed in hitting hard and hitting to kill. But he saw the
horrors of war and was ever ready to do his part to avert it. He
grasped the danger there was to the peace of the world in the conflict
between Russia and Japan. He summoned the representatives of the
combatants to a conference. Without any authority whatever by
legislation, but solely in the interest of humanity, he offered himself
as an arbitrator and purely by his individual magnetism and influence
upon others brought the commissioners of Russia and Japan to
assent to an agreement, the details of which were largely suggested
by himself. These two instances were almost miraculous.

Mr. Roosevelt, on his way home from his hunting and explora-
tion expedition in Africa, was received with signal honors, as if
still President, by Great Britain, France and the Kaiser. He was
hailed with the same enthusiasm and demonstrations which have
greeted President Wilson, both in London and Paris.

This most original of men could not help in a public speech
pointing out any weakness in a nation, which he thought needed
correction and explaining how the difficulty could be remedied. He
had passed through Egypt, which at that time was seething with
revolt or efforts at revolt against British rule. In his speech at
Guildhall the ex-President said to his amazed audience, "You are in
Egypt and I think rightfully there. You have difficulties, and greater
ones are threatening. You should either govern Egypt or get out."
H any other foreign statesman had made this amazing declaration to
that audience, composed of the Cabinet and most eminent men of
Great Britain, it would have been instantly resented. The British
are good sportsmen ; they recognized that the chief of sportsmen had
frankly told the truth and they cheered.

Mr. Roosevelt was received at the Sorbonne in Paris by an
audience, which comprised the President of the Republic, the Prime
Minister and his associates, members of the French Academy, and
distinguished representatives of every department of French life.
Again there was a successful trial of his extraordinary and charac-
teristic audacity in telling the truth. He said substantially this, "You
have every element of leadership among nations except in popula-

iQig.] Theodore Roosevelt. IO5

tion, which seems to be decreasing. The remedy is in your own
hands. Stop race suicide." Again the assembly was shocked for
the moment, and then cheered. Roosevelt had put his finger upon
the one great danger of France: the general restriction of children
to one child in a family.

Mr. Roosevelt met the Kaiser, and with his intuitive knowledge
of men understood his characteristics. If these had been equally
grasped by statesmen of other free and liberal governments, this
frightful war might have been averted. The Kaiser sent a German
fleet to seize a port in Venezuela to enforce certain claims of German
subjects against that country and its citizens. Roosevelt notified the
Kaiser that the question in dispute must be arbitrated. The Kaiser
refused. President Roosevelt then notified the German Ambassador
that Admiral Dewey and his fleet would sail for Venezuela within a
week. The Kaiser again refused to arbitrate. The President then
sent this message: "Admiral Dewey will sail day after tomorrow."
The answer of the Kaiser was such an emphatic acceptance of the
demand of the President of the United States that Roosevelt an-
nounced to the public in his grim and characteristic way — "The
German Emperor, with his well-known desire for peace and justice,
well withdraw his fleet and arbitrate all questions with Venezuela."

It was the President's psychology of public men and public
sentiment of foreign nations which led him to solve and settle
threatened difficulties with Japan. Through the East specially, and
to a large degree in Europe, there was almost absolute ignorance of
the strength and power of the United States. The American battle
fleet was ordered to sail around the world. This formidable array
of war vessels of the most modern design and equipment and ready
for immediate action produced a profound impression in all coun-
tries. It was peace by demonstration of preparedness and power.
It was the fundamental article in Roosevelt's creed that pre-
paredness and power in a free and liberty-loving nation instead of
provoking war promoted peace.

We hear much of self-made men. But here was one born to
wealth and ease. He had a weak constitution of the kind which in
ordinary cases leads to careful idleness, but by the most strenuous
efforts of physical exercise, of roughing it on the ranch and in the
hunting field, in bouts with boxers, fencers and wrestlers he became
one of the strongest of men. He had an impediment in his speech
which he turned into fluency and from the beginning until the end
his oratory grew in effectiveness and in power with the people.

He first among our public men saw what must be our position
in this world war. He found the great mass of his countrymen
satisfied with their isolation and pacifists in sentiment, but in season
and out of season he preached the preparedness and the peril to us at
home and our institutions of the triumph of autocracy upon the
field of battle in Europe. It was the wonderful effect of his stirring
appeals which made it possible for the President to secure universal
assent for the declaration of war. Roosevelt was never more him-
self in that faculty which was one of his strongest points of practic-

I06 Theodore Roosevelt. [April

ing what he preached and placing himself in the forefront of
danger than in what he did when our country entered the war. He
proposed to raise a division and go with it at once to France. That
was denied, but he sent his four sons. When one of them was
wounded and the other killed the pathetic answer of this bereaved
patriot was, "Better so, than that they should not have gone."

I was in the Senate during the whole of his Presidency and saw
him nearly every day. It was a delight to visit the Executive office
or to meet him in the closer associations of the White House. He
was the most outspoken of public men. As I was entering his room
one morning a Senator was coming out. This Senator had made
some request of the President which had angered him. He shouted
to me so the Senator could hear him and everybody else : "Do you
know that man?" I answered "Yes, he is a colleague of mine in
the Senate." "But," the President shouted, "he is a crook." Sul>-
sequent events proved the President correct and the man came
within the clutches of the criminal law.

I never knew such an omnivorous reader. He mastered all
literature, past and present. Several times I called his attention to
a book which had been sent me and was just on sale. He had
already read it.

Public men fear newspapers. I never knew one who would go
out of his way to fight a great journal, or fight it at all. But I made
a request of him once, on behalf of one of the greatest of newspapers,
for a diplomatic appointment for one of its staff. The paper had
never before made such a request, but he said, so the whole room,
including all the reporters, could hear him, "That paper can expect
nothing from me."

Two of our ex-Presidents are still a force with their party and
the people. They are Jefferson and Jackson. Jefferson's influence
was because of his versatility, political forsight and literary talents,
Jackson's by his iron will and command of men. Mr. Roosevelt
united in himself all the power, talent and force of these two remark-
able leaders.

He was intensely human. He had no airs nor fads nor frills.
His cordiality was infectious, his friendship never failed. No man
of his generation has so long held public esteem and confidence with
continuing admiration and expectation. His work in the world was
great and greatly done. It is a commonplace when a great man
dies to say: "It is not for his co-temporaries to pass judgment upon
him, that must be left to posterity and to the historian after the
passions of his time have been allayed." There are only two excep-
tions to this maxim, one is Washington, the other is Roosevelt. The
testimony at the time about Washington is the same as the judgment
of posterity. With this magnificent fighter, this reckless cnisader,
this hard-hitter, the world is stilled and awed when the news of his
death is flashed over wires and cables, but the instant voice of
friend and enemy is the same. All recognize the purity of his mo-
tives, the unselfishness of his work and his unadulterated Ameri-
canism. His last expression sent to a public meeting in New York,

igi9-] . Theodore Roosevelt. 107

the evening before he died, is the thought upon whose realization
rests the security of our institutions and the future of our country.
It is that there is no place in our land for divided allegiance. Every
citizen must be wholly American.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

February 4, 1919.

The Board of Trustees of the New York Genealogical and
Biographical Society takes great pleasure in announcing to its
members and to the community, the receipt of a gift of §20,000
from Samuel Putnum Avery, Esquire, of Hartford, Conn., for the
establishment of an Art Fund. The income from this fund to be
used from time to time as opportunities present themselves to
gather a collection of " portraits, views, surveys, records, manu-
scripts, autograph letters, etc."

The collection, thus to be formed, will be confined along the
lines of the deed of gift, to the gathering together of portraits (in
oil, pastel or any other medium) of genealogical or biographical
interest and also paintings, crayons, etchings, engravings, etc.,
which may have an interest in the realm of family and local
history.

This collection is the first of the kind that we know of to be
started in this city, and it is to be hoped that its origin, which is
thus so substantially brought about by Mr. Avery, will become
well known here and elsewhere, so that other patrons of art may
recognize its value and be induced to contribute towards the en-
largement of the fund, and so that the collection may at once
assume importance in its special field.

Members of the Society and others are urged to seriously
consider donations to this collection of articles of genealogical or
biographical interest that may be in their possession and which
they may wish to have preserved for the benefit of posterity.

An Art Committee has been appointed by the Society which
will consider and act upon all gifts which may be tendered. It is
to be hoped that this Collection will at once assume a dignified
character and that the donations proffered will be of either
intrinsic historic, genealogic, biographic, or local historic value.

Mr. Avery, who is himself a well known and acknowledged
expert in the field of art, has kindly consented to be associated
with others on the Art Committee of the Society, which fact will
assure a discriminating and intelligent disbursement of the income
from this fund.

The Board of Trustees desires here to publicly record its sense
of appreciation and gratitude to Mr. Avery for his handsome
donation for the purpose of originating and establishing this Fund.

IIO Christophers Family. [April

CHRISTOPHERS FAMILY.

Contributed by John R. Totten,

Member of the New Viirk Geiiealou'icul and Bineraphical S.icieiv, the New Eneland
Hisloric-Gcnealouical Sjciety. and the New Londun County Historical Society.

Owing to tlie prominence of this family in the early colonial days
of Connecticut, and to the intermingling of the Christophers blood
with the best blood of New London, Connecticut, and of Eastern
Long Island, New York, and especially due to the fact that at pre-
sent (in so far as I am informed) the male line is practically extinct,
- — I have deemed it desirable to perpetuate in printed record such in-
formation as I have collected relative to the origin of this family in
America ; and to show the lines of descent of those bearing the Chris-
tophers surname, and (on account of the almost complete extinction
of the male line) to show a more extensive than usual tracing of the
Christophers strain of blood down the female lines of descent.

Two brothers of the name of Christophers, both mariners, and
both engaged in the shipping exchange trade with Barbadoes, settled
in New London, Conn., about 1665. Their names were respectively
Jeffrey and Christopher Christophers. Jeffrey, the elder, was aged
fifty-five in 1676, and was therefore born about 1621. Christopher
died July 23, 1687, aged fifty-six, and hence was born about 1631.
That they were brothers is conclusively established by documents on
record in New London, wherein this relationship is specifically
expressed.

These brothers are supposed to have arrived in New London,
either direct from England, or indirectly by way of Barbadoes.
Savage, in his Genealogical Dictionary, states that Christopher
Christophers brought his family to this country directly from Bar-
badoes. On what authority he made this statement, I do not know,
but it may well be so, as English colonists in those days, many of
them, made Barbadoes their port of destination. But as Christopher'
Christophers' son Richard^ Christophers was bom in Cherston-
Ferrers, on Torbay, near Dartmouth, Devonshire, England, on July
13, 1662, and also in view of the fact that Christopher'Christophers
appeared in New London in 1665, — it is evident that the stay of the
brothers Jeffrey and Christopher in Barbadoes was only of short
duration.

The parentage of these two brothers is not known, nor is the
place of their residence in England known ; but as Christopher'
Christophers had a son born in Cherston-Ferrers, Devonshire, Eng-
land, that locality has been regarded as possibly their place of resi-
dence prior to emigration, although no definite information that such
is the case, has to my knowledge up to the present time, been dis-

The family, therefore, starts in this country with these two
brothers of the first generation with no known connection with their
probable mother country, England, viz. : —
-f-i. Jeffrey' Christophers.
-\-2. Christopher' Christophers.

Jeffrey' Christophers and His Descendants

I. Jeffrey' Christophers (parentage unknown), b. , about

about 1621 (he was 55 years old in 1676), in (Devonshire,

England, possibly) ; he resided in , Devonshire, England,

possibly, in Barbadoes, possibly, in New London, Conn., as
early as 1665, and in Southold, Long Island, N. Y., as early as
July 8, 1700; he was a mariner engaged in the exchange ship-
ping trade from New London to the Island of Barbadoes ; he
died at Southold, Long Island, N. Y. (possibly), as that was

his last known place of residence, , subsequent to July 8,

1700, on which date he made and signed a deed in Southold
which deed is quoted below ; he was probably buried in South-
old, although we have no record of such burial. He married

? probably previous to 1665, the year of his appearance in

New London, in , England, probably, to ? (whose

baptismal name and maiden surname are unknown to us ; there
is no reference to her either in the New London or Southold

records), born , at ; d. , at ■ . Her parentage

is not known.

Children: 3 that are known of and possibly 4 (Christophers), i
son and 2 (or 3) daughters, viz. : —

+3 i. Jeffrey,- b. ; d. May 17, 1690; m. Jane ?

+4 ii. Joanna,- b. ; d. ; m. John Mayhew.

-)-5 iii. Margaret,- b. • ; d. June i, 1728; m. (i) Abra-
ham Corey; m. (2) John Parker.

-1-6 iv. (?) a daughter,- b. ; d. ; m. (according to

Caulkins' History of Nezv London, p. 316, and also
Savage's Genealogical Dictionary of New England,
Vol. I, p. 383) John Packer (or Parker). I think
both Caulkins and Savage are in error in regard to
the existence of this daughter for reasons which I
will subsequently set forth in full.

Jeffrey' Christophers is supposed to have arrived in New Lon-
don at about the same time as his brother Christopher' Christophers,
1665 ; but his name does not appear on the records of that town at
so early a date. He was a mariner and sailed from New London as
master of his own ship, and was engaged in trade with Barbadoes.
The commercial relations between New London and Barbadoes
were more intimate than that of New London with any other dis-
tant port. Two voyages were made by a vessel yearly. Horses,
cattle, beef, pork and sometimes pipe-staves were exchanged for
sugar and molasses ; and at a later period for rum. An interchange
of inhabitants between the two places occasionally took place

I I 2 Christophers Family. [April

Agencies from New London were established on the island and sev-
eral persons emigrating from Barbadoes became permanent residents
of New London. The Barbadoes trade was the most lucrative busi-
ness of the period. Merchants of Hartford, Middletown and
Wethersfield, Conn., made shipments from New London. Captains
of vessels hailing from other towns often took their cargoes on at
New London. The following receipt shows the comparative value
of two of the principal articles of exchange, viz. : —

"Barbadoes : — \, underwrit, do hereby acknowledge to have re-
ceived of Mr. Jeffrey Christophers, one bl., of pork pr. account of
Mr. Benjamin Brewster, the which I have sold for 300 lbs. of sugar,
(sgd) Elisha Sanford, August 13th, 1671."

"True copy of the receipt which was sent to Barbadoes by Mr.
Giles Hamlin in the ship/i^/m and James, October 29th, 1671.

(sgd) Charles Hill,

Recorder."

Jeffrey' Christophers remained some years an inhabitant of
New London; but later in life he removed to Southold, N. Y. The
date of his removal is not known, but it was undoubtedly in his
declining years after retirement from the sea ; and he probably
went there to pass his remaining years with his daughter Mar-
garet^ Christophers who had previously married Abraham Corey
and was living in Southold. He was an inhabitant of Southold
in July, 1700, as is shown by the following deed copied from the
published records of that town, viz. : — "p. 50 [abstract] :

To all Christian people : — Know ye that Jeffrey Christophers,

Jeffrey' Christophe . , jn of Jeffrey' Christophers, died

May 17, 1690, without issue; and therefore the perpetuation of
the Christophers name, even at this early period of the family's
history, devolved upon the male descendants of Christopher*
Christophers.

Jeffery' Christophers was the only son of his father, and,
therefore, dying without issue, the Christophers name became ex-
tinct with his death among the descendants of his father.

John Mayhew, Senior, appears first in New London in the list
of inhabitants in 1676; he was a mariner by occupation, — being
one of that class of individuals who made their principal home
on the deep and their temporary abiding place in New London.
He was one of the assistants of Thomas Dymond, master of the
barque Providence, when on Nov. 28, 1679, that vessel was
wrecked and lost off Fisher's Island Point. Dymond and his
assistants, John Mayhew, and Ezekiel Turner, barely escaping
with their lives.

5. Margaret^ Christophers (JefTery'), born , at ;

died June 19, 1728, at Southold, N. Y., and was probably
buried there but no gravestone marks her grave ; married ( i )

(probably between 1677 and 1680 — see probable date of

birth of her children), at , to Abraham^ Corey, born

? (before his father John^ Corey appeared on Long

Island, N. Y., on March 7, i6z(4; his father John^ Corey
signed a deed at Southold, N. Y., Oct. 11, 1660, in which he
John' Corey quit claims for himself, wife Ann and son John'
Corey all their respective interests in certain property. It
would seem therefore that his eldest son John' Corey was of
age at that date, but that Abraham' Corey, a younger son was
not of age Oct. 11, 1660. We conclude therefore that he was
born subsequent to Oct. 11, 1639), ^t ; he lived at South-
old, N. Y., and was a cooper; he died Sept. 11, 1702 (will
dated May 19, 1702; proved Oct. 14, 1702), at Southold,
N. Y., and was buried there Sept. 11, 1702, no gravestone.
He was a son of John' Corey, a weaver by trade, who settled
in Southold, N. Y., after the year 1644 (see Southold Town

Records, Vol. I, page 171) and his wife Ann ? (whose

maiden surname is not known).

Children: 5 (Corey), 2 sons and 3 daughters, all probably
born at Southold, N. Y. The order of their birth as given is
not vouched for: —

-[-13 i. Abraham,' b. , about 1680; (he was called

eldest son in his father's will and was not 25
years of age at date of that will, May 19, 1702);

1754; m. Dorothy Hobart. He is called 2nd son
in his father's will dated May 19, 1702, and was
not 25 years old on that date.

-|-i6 iv. Mary,^ b. ; d. ; she still retained her

maiden surname Corey in 1698; and at the date
of her father's will, May 19, 1702; she had been
twice married, and on that date was the wife of

William Bradley; m. (i) ? m. (2) William

Bradley.

4-17 V. Dorothy,^ b. ; d. ; she was not married

up to May 19, 1702.

John' Corey of Southampton and Southold, N. Y. (the father
of Abraham- Corey), is first mentioned at Southampton on March
7, 1644, as Whale Commissioner for his district. He received a
grant of land the following day. On Oct. 8, 1649, he was a resi-
dent of Southold ; he and his wife Ann being witnesses to a deed
there on that date. In 1659 he refused to take the oath of allegi-
ance to New Haven ; but subsequently in 1660 did take that oath.
He, "Goodman" Corey was made a freeman of Connecticut in
1662.

From Moore's Indexes of Southold, N. Y ., p. 13, we extract
the following abstract of the chronological record of John' Corey
as taken from the records of that town: —

1653: Perhaps in Europe (see 5 State Trials, p. 359).

1659: Refused to take oath of allegiance to New Haven Colony.

1659: March 9th, received deed from John Budd for home lot

and land at Hashamomach, but was called a Quaker and

objected to by his neighbors.
1660: Sued by John Conkling and John Budd, Jr., for letting

hogs run at large.
1660: Took oath of allegiance to New Haven.
1660: Oct. II. Gave deed to John Conkling for John Salmon, of

land in Hashamomach.
1662: "Goodman" Corey admitted a freeman of Connecticut.
1664: Deed from G. and S. Jones for dwelling house and four

acres.
1655: Deed from Barnabas Wines for several parcels to him as

John Corey, Senior.
1675 : Rated on i ox, 2 horses, etc., £44.
1680: Release from son Abraham Corey of debts.
1680: Deeds to his son Isaac^ Corey all of his lands, reserving life

estate.

In the June 28, 1680, release of Abraham^ Corey to his father
John' Corey, Abraham^ Corey signs over to his father John' Corey
all his interest in the estate of his father's, John' Corey's estate.

I 1 6 Christophers Family. [April

This was probably done to clear the way for John' Corey to deed
all of his lands to his son Isaac^ Corey in consideration of a life
estate in same, and probably also maintenance during the re-
mainder of his life; the deed to his son Isaac" Corey was dated
July 6, 1680.

From Moore's Indexes of Sonthold, N. Y ., we obtain the fol-
lowing abstract of the chronological record of Abraham* Corey as
taken from the records of that town: —
1675 • Rated on 4 acres, 7 cattle, 2 horses, etc., etc., £76.
1678: United in deed to E. Petty in exchange of common lands.
1680: Release of his father John' Corey from debts.
1681 : Witness to deed of John Tuthill to Jasper Griffing.
1682 : Witness to will of W. Ilallock.
1685 : Deed to John Tuthill, land in Oyster Ponds.
1686: 4 males and 3 females in his family.

1697: May 24. Abraham" Corey and Margaret Corey deed to
Peter Hallock land in Southold; deed recorded June 21,
1708, and in this deed Abraham" Corey is styled a cooper.

From Pelletreau's Early Long Island Wills, p. 74, we have a
copy of the will of John Sammis, of Huntington, L. I., N. Y.,
dated Nov. 28, 1693. In this will the testator speaks of Abraham"
Corey and Isaac" Corey as "my brothers-in-law." This is ac-
counted for by the fact that Abigail" Corey, daughter of John'
Corey married John Sammis of Huntington.

On pp. 256-60 of same book of wills, we find the full text of
the will of Abraham" Corey of Southold, N. Y. Will was dated
May 19, 1702, and was proved Oct. 14, 1702. Witnesses: David
Young, Joshua Young, Stephen Bailey. Executors : wife Mar-
garet and sons Abraham and John. In this will he mentions his
wife Margaret; his eldest son Abraham; his 2nd son John; his
daughter Mary "now the wife of William Bradley, besides what

1 lent her at her first marriage ;" his daughter Elizabeth, "now ye
wife of Samuel Hutchinson ;" his nephew [context shows that he
means niece] Patience Mayhew (see record No. 12 of this article,
daughter of Joanna" Christophers by her husband John Mayhew),
"if she remain with my executors until she comes of age;" he also
makes it clear that neither his son Abraham^ nor John^ were 25
years old at date of the will May 19, 1702 ; mentions also his
daughter Dorothy' Corey who was not married at date of will ;
mentions also grandson Elijah Hutchinson.

In Vol. II, pp. 1 18-19, of Southold Town Records, John*
Corey, Senior, deeds to his son Abraham" Corey all his interest in
house and home-lot that he John' Corey bought August 26, 1665,
from Barnabas and Mary Winds of Southold; date of deed Sept.
6, 1680, and the transfer was recorded August 13, 1705, three
years subsequent to Abraham" Corey's death.

Southold Indexes, p. 13, states that John' Corey probably
married Margaret ? who was living in 1686 with i male and

2 females in her family. The deeds on record quoted above cer-

iQig-l Christophers Family. 117

tainly show that John^ Corey had a wife Ann on Oct. 8, 1649.
This wife Ann may have died subsequent to that date and John^
Corey may have married a second wife named Margaret. But I
do not think he did. I think that the Margaret Corey who in
1686 was hving in Southold with i male and 2 females in her
family was Margaret (Christophers) Corey, wife of Abraham^
Corey. We have direct evidence that John' Corey had a wife
Ann; but no evidence that he had a wife Margaret; whereas we
have direct evidence that Abraham^ Corey did marry Margaret'
Christophers.

Margaret^ (Christophers) Corey remained a widow as late as
Sept. 14, 1705, as on that date she is deeded to under name of Mar-
garet Corey and the deed was recorded Oct. 8, 1705.

Margaret^ (Christophers) Corey, widow of Abraham^ Corey,

married (2) (subsequent to Sept. 14, 1705), at Southold,

N. Y., probably, to John Parker (or Packer), as his second wife
(his first wife was Abigail (Tuthill) Conklin, widow of Joseph
Conklin, and she died June 6, 1705, and was buried at Southold, N.

Y., June 8, 1705), born , 1657, about (see age at and date of

death), at ? he lived successively at Southampton, Southold

and Riverhead, Long Island, N. Y. He was styled a doctor and
was also a fuller, owning a fulling mill at Riverhead ; he died at
Mattituck, Long Island, N. Y., Feb. 9 (or 7) 1727, aged 70 (see
Neiv York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Vol. XXXII,
pp. 135-6), and was buried in the Mattituck Cemetery about 15
rods southwest from church, gravestone. His parentage has not
been determined.

Children: ? (Parker). None that are known of.

John Parker, married (i) ? (after Nov. 23, 1698. the

date of death of her first husband) to Abigail (Tuthill) Conklin
(widow of Joseph Conklin*), born Oct. 17, 1670, at Southold,
N. Y. ; died June 6, 1705, "being at the time of her death wife of
John Parker," at Southold, N. Y., and was buried there June 8,
1705. She was a daughter of John and Deliverance (King) Tut-
hill, of Southold, N. Y.

Children: 2 (Parker) daughters. Not in Christophers line.
-I-17A. Abigail, b. Feb. 28, 1703; d. April 4, 1779; m. Aug. (or May)

29, 1723, to Joseph Wickham.
4-17B. Mary, b. ; d. ; m. William Albertson.

Southold Town Records, Vol. II, p. 92, gives undoubted au-
thority for the existence of John Parker's two daughters as given
above ; and from the deed which is quoted below it would seem

♦Joseph Conklin was born , probably as early as 1670; died Nov. 23,

l6g8, letters of administration on his estate were issued Dec. 16, 1698. to his
widow Abigail and her father John Tuthill, Senior (see Pelletreau's Long
Island Wills, p. 161) ; married Nov. — , 1690, at Southold, N. Y., to Abigail
Tuthill by whom he had 2 (Conklin) sons, viz.: —

1. Joseph, b. Aug. 7, 1691.

2. John, b. Oct. 16, 1694 (see Moore's Indexes of Southold, pp. 70-71).

Il8 Christophers Family. [April

that they were his only children. If he had other children they
must have died previous to the date of the deed or else must have
received their portions before the date of the deed, — as John
Parker seems in said deed to have in the anticipation of death
transferred all of his property to these two daughters. He does
not in this deed, dated Jan. 4, 1726-7, even mention his wife Mar-
garet, who was then living; the omission of all reference to her
being due probably to some ante-nuptial agreement between John
Parker and his wife Margaret* (Christophers) Corey. Moreover
in said deed he mentions no other children.

Moore's Indexes of Southold, N. Y ., p. 142, gives the follow-
ing as a list of John Parker's children, viz. : —

"i. (perhaps) John, called "Parr," who m. Mary Corwin ,

1728 [Dec. 9, 1719, according to 'Salmon Record,' Nexv York
Genealogical and Biographical Record, Vol. 49, p 66].

2. Nathaniel, b. ; d. .

3. Child (possibly above Nathaniel), b. ; d. Oct. 17, 1723,

drowned.

4. (probably) Abigail, b. ; d. ; who m. Joseph Wick-
ham."

The "Salmon Record of Deaths and Marriages in Southold,"
of which a careful copy of the original was published in the Nezv
York Genealogical and Biographical Record (Vols. 47, 48 and
49), seems carefully to discriminate between the names Parr and
Parker and in it the marriage of John Parr is recorded as taking
place Dec. 9, 1719, to Mary Corwin; thus differing to Moore's
record as given above. Moore himself by his phraseology seems
to be wholly in doubt as to what children John Parker had. The
only one mentioned by him that seems to be correct is Abigail, who
married Joseph Wickham and about her even he was in doubt as
shown by his use of the word probably. All of which leads me to
the assumption that no credence can be placed upon Moore's list
of John Parker's children ; and to the belief that John Parker had
but two children, the daughters mentioned above, Abigail and
Mary. The following is the deed referred to, viz. : —

From Vol. II, pages 91-92, of Southold Town Records.

"To all Christian People to whom these presents shall come.
Greeting: Know ye that I, John Parker, of Southampton, doc-
tor, in consideration of natural love and affection that I have and

and for want of such heirs to my daughter Mary, wife of Will-

The following is a note on John Parker taken from the printed
Town Records of Southold :

"John Parker, styled sometimes Doctor and often called
'Fuller,' was of the town of Southampton originally; he dwelt
therein till near the close of his days, when, as he was buried in
the Wickham plot in the cemetery at Mattituck, he most likely
died at the home of his daughter Abigail, the wife of Joseph
Wickham, Corchang" [I doubt this last statement as to the place
of his death as his wife Margaret was still living and did not die
until June 19th, 1728. — J. R. T.] "His principal business appears
to have been that of a fuller of cloth. In 1690 Southampton
Town granted him the stream of either Great Noyac or Little
Noyac to set up a fulling mill. In 1695 Southampton voted him
the stream at Riverhead and all the land between the two rivers ;
he to build a fulling mill. In 1696 he sold his stream at Noyac
for £70. January, 1726-7, the record speaks of his dwelling house
at Riverhead, the two rivers, his cedar swamp, etc. He had at
one time a grant of stream at the head of Sag Pond. His busi-
ness yielded a large profit ; the establishment at Riverhead was a
great success. From indirect facts from the records it appears
that he removed from Southampton to Riverhead with his family ;
perhaps built the old mansion now the residence of John C.
Sweezy and before him for a great many years occupied by Joseph
Albertson. Dr. Parker had two children, — Abigail, who married
Joseph Wickham and Mary, who married William Albertson: to
them went all his lands, mills and money. To Abagail he gave his
lands north of Peconic River, besides other lands. He owned the
"Jagger Farms" in the village of Riverhead ; the old Court House
built in 1727 stood, and still stands upon it; the Jagger Farms
went from the bay to the sound. To Mary and the Albertsons
he left the stream of water and mills at Riverhead and also large
tracts of land. The monument erected to the memory of Dr.
Parker may be found in the Mattituck Cemetery about 15 rods
south westerly from the Church, a modest little brownstone about
two feet high with his name, age and date of death inscribed upon
it. (Signed) J. Wickham Case."

6. (?) (a daughter)- Christophers (JefFery').

Savage's Genealogical Dictionary of New England, Vol I, p.
383, referring to Jeffery^ Christophers, states : —

"He removed in old age with two daughters, living 1700, in
Southold, L. I., Margaret married Abraham Corey ; Joanna mar-
ried Dec. 25, 1676, John Mayhew of New London and the other
daughter married a Packer of Southold."

Caulkins' History of New London, p. 316, speaking of Jeffery'
Christophers, states: —

"Three daughters are mentioned : Joanna, wife of John May-
hew; Margaret, wife of Abraham Corey, of Southold, and the wife
of a Mr. Parker, or Packer, of the same place. In 1700 Jeffery'
Christophers was living at Southold, with one of these daughters."

Savage was published in i860 and probably copied his notes
on the Christophers family from Caulkins' History of New Lon-
don which was published in 1852.

Miss Caulkins, although a very careful and painstaking com-
piler, made an error in stating that "three daughters are men-
tioned" — she laboring at the time of writing under the impression
that the daughter who married Abraham Corey was not the same
daughter who married "Mr. Parker, or Packer, of the same place."

The facts are that the daughter who married John Parker was
Margaret'' Christophers-Corey, who after the death of Abraham
Corey on Sept. 11, 1702, married a second time subsequent to
Sept. 14, 1705, to John Parker of Southold, N. Y., as his second
wife.

This disposes of the confusion of authors in assigning to Jef-
fery^ Christophers three daughters. He had only two, viz. :
Joanna^ and Margaret.*

John' Mayhew was a noted shipmaster in the West Indies and
Newfoundland trade. He was on the sea expedition against Can-
ada in 171 1, acting as pilot. In 1712 he was sent to England to
give his testimony concerning the disastrous shipwrecks on the
St. Lawrence River, which on Aug. 22, 171 1, frustrated that ex-
pedition. He died in 1726 leaving several children; but only one
son, John, who died without issue in 1745. The Mayhew prop-
erty was fnherited by female descendants of the name of Talman,
Lampheer and Howard.

Hempstead's Diary, p. 560, states: —

"Wednesday, November 28, 1750: — .... Mrs. Sarah
Mayhew, widow of John Mayhew died, aged about 74 or 75;
died last night. She was the only daughter of Thomas Latham'
the first, grand-daughter of Cary Latham, the first; he [i.e. Cary
Latham] was a contemporary of my [Joshua Hempstead's]
grandfather, \yho were both the first settlers of this town in ye
year 1646; this widow Mayhew had two sons; both died single;
and her husband had one brother that died single; thus the male'
issue are all gone before her. She hath been a very sober, quiet
and useful woman, — ye chief mid-wife in the Towne for many
years past Thursday November 29th: — Mrs. May-
hew was buried and I was not at it : could not get ready till it was
too late."

The will of Joshua Youngs of Southold, N. Y., is to be found
copied in the New York Historical Society Collections of New
York wills. Volume for 1896, page 88. Will dated June 13, 1755;
proved July 3, 1755, before William Throop, Surrogate. Wit-
nesses : Peter Sweetland, Henry Moore and Jonathan Barber.
The will mentions wife Mary; granddaughter Mary Hazzard, she
to receive certain legacies when she is 18 [hence it would appear
that she was not 18 years old at date of will]: daughter Mary
Youngs to receive use of room as long as she remains a widow
Ihence it would seem that either her ist or 2nd husband, or per-

124 Christophers Family. [April

haps both had died previous to date of will]; daughter Elizabeth
Vail ; daughter Bethiaah Youngs, she to have a room until she
marries [she did not marry until 1758].

Joshua Youngs married (i) , about 1707, to ? by

whom he had i son John Youngs, born , 1708; died June 17,

1708; and his first wife died probably that same year.

From the Youngs Family, by Selah Youngs, Jr. (published
New York, 1907), on pp. 85-6 we obtain the following extract: —
"Judge Joshua Youngs' name appears on a stone in the Sterling
Cemetery (erected to the memory of his son Thomas Youngs, who
died in 1793) as the son of Zerubbable, son of Col. John Youngs.
This is the only record to show that there was such a Zerubbable
Youngs, and from the records of Joshua as given under John, No.
27, is evidently an error.

It doubtless happened partly because of the long lapse of time
(one hundred and eight years from the death of Joshua's father
to the death of Joshua's son Thomas) and partly because no fam-
ily records had been preserved ; but mainly because of an entry
in the manuscript Southold Town Records which they probably
had seen, and which later Mr. Charles B. Moore in collecting the
material for his Indexes of 1698 found, and which he says he read as
"John Youngs, sonn Zofossbel Yongs born the i6th of May 1664."
[See Southold MSS. Town Records, Vol. I, page 463.] Suppos-
ing this to mean Zerubbable, he thought it confirmed the record on
the stone, placed him (Zerubbable) as the son of Col. John, but
when the town records were published and this entry read, "John
Yongs sonn to Joseph (Joseph instead of Zofossbel), Mr. Moore
in his private copy of the Indexes struck out the birth date and by
an addition made Joshua to be the 'son of Zerubbable or of
John'."

12. Patience' Mayhew (Joanna^ Christophers, Jeflfery'), born

; baptized New London, June 9, 1693; ^^^^ (she

was alive May 19, 1702), at . I do not know whether

she married or not.

In the will of Abraham Corey, of Southold, N. Y., dated May
19, 1702, her uncle by marriage, she is shown on that date to have
been living in Southold with her aunt Margaret^ (Christophers)
Corey (wife of Abraham Corey).

The name Patience as a baptismal name is of quite rare occur-
r/snce in the early records of Southold. Patience' Mayhew ap-
parently disappears entirely from the records of the town after
the above quoted references. While not by any means positively
asserting it, it seems that possibly she may have been the first wife

'QIQ] Christophers Family. I 25

Patience ? of John* Youngs of Southold (John,' Capt.

Joseph,^ Rev. Christopher^), who died Jan. 10, 1715, and whose
maiden surname has not been discovered. This is a suggestion
worthy of further investigation. If, perchance, my suggestion is
found to be a veritable fact then according to the Youngs Fam-
ily by Selah Youngs, Jr., she left two sons, viz.: — (i) Wait'

Youngs, born , about 1712; died Dec. 12, 1735; (2) a son,*

who died March 26, 171 5.

Patience^ Mayhew was born early enough to have become the
1st wife of John* Youngs and to have borne him the above two
children and to have died as above stated January 10, 1715. She
also had a brother Wait' Mayhew, after whom her son Wait'
Youngs may have been named. This Wait' Youngs was the only
Youngs named Wait, mentioned in the Young's Genealogy, and
it would seem that he may have been named after his uncle Wait'
Mayhew.

Savage's Genealogical Dictionary of New England, Vol. I.

Christophers had a daughter Margaret Corey who married Wil-
loughby Lynde of Saybrook. This is incorrect, the Margaret

1 26 Christophers Family. [April

Corey who married Willoughby Lynde was the daughter of Abra-
ham and Mary (Paine) Corey. Margaret (Corey) Lynde's birth
date is entered in an ancient King Manuscript compiled by Ensig;n
John King in his own family record as June 22, 1714. From this
fact taken in connection with the fact that two of Ensign John
King's children were named respectively Margaret and Abraham
(after their grandparents Abraham and Margaret^ (Christophers)
Corey), — I have placed the two children Mary^ (Corey) King and
Margaret* (Corey) Lynde as children of Abraham' Corey by his
wife Mary Paine. Moreover, Abraham Corey who married Mar-
garet^ Christophers died in 1702 and could not be the father of a
Margaret Corey born June 22, 1714. Griffin, however, states that
Mary (Corey) King was a granddaughter of Jacob^ Corey
(John'). For the above reason I think Griffin in error.

Banker," because he loaned large sums to the Continental Congress. His son,

* Note on Le Roux Family: — Pierre (or Petrus) Le Roux, of Amster-
dam, was the son of a French Huguenot exile. That the family of Le Roux
was of some prominence is evidenced by the fact that it received from the
States General in Holland the right to bear a coat of arms (Rielstap Armorial
Genealogy, vol. H, p. 622).

In 1680, Pierre emigrated to London. The records show that he became
a naturalized subject of King Charles II, on March 21, 1682, and was subse-
quently made a member of the Goldsmiths' Company. Three years later, his
wife Jane, with her children, all of whom had remained in Amsterdam after
Pierre's emigration, rejoined her husband in London, and was naturalized as
a subject on March 20. 1686. They had four sons and one or more daughters.
We have no record of any daughters leaving London, but all four sons came
to the Colony of New York. (See Agneau's French Protestant Exiles, vol. 3,
p. 3i). The sons were: —

1. Bartholomew, of whom hereafter.

2. Pierre or Pieter, the second son of Petrus Le Roux, accompanied his
elder brother Bartholomew to New York in 1688. The records of the
Reformed Dutch Church (see vol. i, p. ys. New York Genealogical
and Biographical Society's Collections) states that "Pieter Leroux,
j.m. [young man] Uyt oudt Engelt, en Alida Vryman, j.d. [young
woman] Van N. Albanien, beyde wonende alhier," Ingeschreven
[banns published] Aug. 12, 1692. Getroiiwt [married] Aug. 28. 1602.
Pieter settled in New Rochelle, in the Manor of Pelham. Westchester,
and died there in 1710. His will dated July 27. 1703, probated July 10,
1710 (Liber 7 of Wills, p. 606, N. Y. County), mentions his wife Alida,
his brother Bartholomew, his eldest son Pieter, and other children, but
gives no further names.

3. Andrew, the third son of Petrus, who also emigrated from London at
the same time with his elder brothers Bartholomew and Pieter, married

152 Gabriel Ludlow (1663-1736) and his Descendants. [April

(see Records of the Reformed Dutch Church, vol. i, p. 79, New York
Genealogical and Biographical Society's Collections), the widow Cor-
neha Disselton on April 20, 1695. No children are recorded.

4. The fourth son of Petrus was John, styled the "Captain." He was a
witness to the Will of John Mitchell, March 9, 1695 (Liber 5 of Wills,
p. 85, N. Y. County). He never married.

I. Bartholomew Le Roux was b. in Amsterdam, Holland, not earlier than
1660 nor later than 1665. Like his father, he was a goldsmith. He
landed in New York 1688-1689. We find that, on Dec. 30, 1693, he pur-
chased for his residence lot number 27 upon the southwest corner of
Broadway and Beaver Lane (now Morris Street), a site now and for
many years covered by the Stevens House. The grantors in the deed
were Pieter Synkam and wife Deborah. The plot extended four rods
along Broadway and to "the Strand" or shore of the river. (Liber 18,
p. 268, N. Y. C.) The records of the Reformed Dutch Church of New
Y'ork (see vol. i, p. 66, New York Genealogical and Biographical So-
ciety's Collections) furnish certain facts relating to his marriage in
these words: "Bartholomeus Le Roiix, j.m. [young man] Van London,
en Geertruyd Van Rollegom, j.d. [young woman] Van N. Yorck,
beyde wonende alhicr. Ingeschreven [banns published] Nov. 16, 1688.
Getroiiwt [married] Dec. 14, 1688." She was the daughter of Jan
Joosten Van Rollegom and his Vrouw [wife] Tryntje Jans vati Har-
denbergh, who were married June 4, 1660. Geertruyd was baptized in
the Dutch Church, Feb. 22, 1668, and was the fifth child of her parents.
The names and dates of baptism of their other children will be found
in the Records of the Reformed Dutch Church (see vol. H, New York
Genealogical and Biographical Society's Collections).

Bartholomew Le Roux was a man of substance and probity and was
trusted by all. In his day a goldsmith was necessarily a banker (there being
no other repositories for safe keeping of jewels and money) as well as a
member of a powerful and honorable Guild. He enjoyed the confidence and
friendship of Anthony Lispenard (or Lepinard as then spelt), who made
Bartholomew Le Roux the executor of his will and guardian of his children
(Liber 5 of Wills, p. 126. N. Y. C). In an affidavit signed Dec. 7, 1702, at
the house of John Hutchins, relative to certain addresses made to the Eng-
lish Governor, he styles himself "Bartholomew LeRoux, Goldsmith, New
York." He died in Aug., 1713, at his residence, Broadway and Beaver Lane.
His will, dated July 10, 1713, proved Aug. 28, 1713. mentions his wife Geertruyd
and'his eldest son Charles and makes them executors and the Codicil refers to
his second son John and other children unnamed. In this Will (Liber of
Wills, 8, p. 226, N. Y. C.) he styles himself silversmith and provides that his
widow is to have the use of all his estate to assist her in bringing up his chil-
dren, and that, after the widow's decease, the estate is to be divided among
the children. The witnesses to the Will are Robert Darkins, Cornelius
Lodge and John Conrad Codwise. A Codicil confirms the Will. A list of his
children is supplied by the Records of the Reformed Dutch Church (see vol.
II, New York Genealogical and Biographical Society's Collections).

Charles Le Rou.x, eldest son of Bartholomew Le Roux, married in 1715,

his wife Magdelena had four sons, Christopher, William Jacobus, Gerardus
and Hendricus. as well as three daughters, Catharine, Cornelia, who married
Richard Van Dam, and Marritje.

In his Will Dr. Gerardus Beekman appointed Charles Le Roux "overseer"
(or testamentary guardian) of his children. (See Will of Gerardus Beekman
dated 10 Nov., 1722, probated 18 Nov., 1722, Liber 9 of Wills, p. 477). The
Will of Richard Van Dam. dated 14 Dec, 1734, probated 14 April, 1736, Liber
12 of Wills, p. 426, also appoints Charles Le Roux testamentary guardian of
testator's children. Hendricus Beekman in his Will dated 19 June, 1727, pro-
bated 8 Sept., 1743, Liber 15 of Wills, p. 87, makes provision for "my sister
Catharine Le Roux." On Oct. 18. 1722, Charles Le Roux was elected a
Church Master of the Reformed Dutch Church. For a record of the children
of Charles Le Roux and Catharine (Beekman) Le Roux, his wife, we again

The Will of Charles Le Roux is dated 18 May. 1810, and probated 13 Nov.,
1810 (Liber 49 of Wills, p. 73, N. Y. County). He bequeaths his property to
his niece Sarah Frances Ogden, widow of Abraham Ogden of Newark, N. J.,
and her children, specially preferring her son Charles Le Roux Ogden. The
Will makes Thomas Ludlow Ogden and Charles L. Ogden trustees and execu-
tors. It disposes of "the house where I now reside, situate adjoining Pine
Street, being the same I purchased of Samuel J. Bnrrowe," it also makes a
provision for "my sister Gertrude Doughty of Morris (i. e., Morristown.
N. J.), widow and her son John Doughty:" also for "Sarah Ogden, my niece,
widow of Abraham Ogden. formerly of Essex County, New Jersey, deceased."
The will also directs the sale of 6.400 acres of testator's land in Potsdam,
N. Y., "which I purchased of William Constable," and also of lands in
Seneca County, N. Y., bought of John Van Dyke. One seventh part of the
entire estate is bequeathed "to my sister, Catharine Leroux" Ludlowr-.

THE CLOWES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND.

Compiled by Charles J. Werner,
mainly from records left by Benjamin F. Thompson, Historian of Long Island.

Samuel Clowes,' counsellor-at-law, was b. in Derbyshire, Eng-
land, March 16, 1674. While yet in England he received instruction
in mathematics from the celebrated Flamstead, for whose use Green-
wich Observatory was erected. He arrived at New York in 1697 and
in 1702 removed to Jamaica, Long Island, in the company of Lord
Cornbury, Governor of the Province, who left New York tempo-
rarily, to escape the ravages of a malignant fever then prevailing in
the metropolis. Thompson states that he was the first lawyer to set-
tle and practise on Long Island. Whether this is so or not, it is
certain that he was an able practitioner and was connected with
many important cases.

The first mention of him in the Jamaica Town Records is under
date of Jan. 31, 1703-4, when "The Towne did give to Mr. Samuel
Clowes free liberty for gettinge stones clay for brick timbers shells
for lime sofitiant for buldinge upon a pece of land that he is byeing
from Samuel Mills to be gotton upon the comons." It would seem as
if this was the commencement of a dwelling. On April 4, 1704, he
is spoken of as "clerk of the peace," and makes an entry as such.
Soon after his arrival at Jamaica he was chosen clerk of the county

I 58 The Clowes Family of Long Island. [April

and officiated as such until 1710, when his legal business prcw so
large that he was forced to relinquish the office. During the time
of his residence at Jamaica there is hardly a deed spread upon the
Town Records which does not contain his name as witness and con-
veyancer. Surveying was also in his line and his surveys of land are
met with in both the Jamaica and Hempstead Town Records ; in fact,
he did quite a little professional work which is spread upon the
Records of the last named town.

On a tax list of 1708-9, he is assessed for 4 shillings, 10 pence, 2
farthings and 4 "wampon."* He is spoken of as "Mr.," and was
one of only two so mentioned on this list. Tax list of another date
in same year, Samuel Qowes, clerk, is assessed for 7 shillings, 6
pence. At a town meeting, April 4, 1727, Samuel Clowes was ap-
pointed a trustee of highways. Two negroes belonging to Mr. Sam-
uel Clowes were baptized on May 23, 1714. Their names were James
and Sarah.

Samuel Clowes was prominently identified with the Episcopal
Church at Jamaica; in fact, was one of the founders of the congre-
gation in 1702. when Lord Cornbury dispossessed the Presbyterians
from their edifice and gave it to the Church of England. In 1734,
the Episcopalians had completed a building of their own and on
April 5 of that year, the dedication service was held.f

On this occasion, Mr. Clowes provided an entertainment for the
visiting dignitaries. Thompson, in his History of Long Island,
speaks of it as follows: "At its dedication, Gov. Cosby, his lady and
family, the council, with many ladies and gentlemen from the city,
honored the occasion with their presence, when a splendid enter-
tainment was given by Samuel Qowes, an eminent lawyer residing in
the village. The militia were under arms to attend his excellency and
the concourse of citizens was great." Thirteen years later (Oct. 10,
1747) 1300 lottery tickets or chances at 8 shillings each, were sold
to defray the cost of a bell for the church. Again Mr. Clowes offi-
ciated, he together with Jacob Ogden, drawing the lucky tickets.

Most members of the Clowes family have adhered to the Church
of England, therefor may we not call it an Episcopal family? It is
interesting to note, that many years later, Samuel Clowes' great-
great-grandson Rev. Timothy Clowes, J was rector of this church
for a short time.

On April 17, 1712, Samuel Clowes completed a survey of the
commons lands of the town of Hempstead, situated on the "Great

lands at this time consisted of 6,213 acres and a copy of the survey,
signed by Clowes, was spread upon the town records, where it may
be seen today. The original trees and other bound marks are all
located on the survey and it is certainly an interesting document.

agriculture and other purposes, were important adjuncts to the early
settlements on Long Island. Mr. Clowes did most of the surveying
in Jamaica and Hempstead, indeed, he seems to have been the only
one so favored during his lifetime.

It may be truthfully said that Mr. Qowes was an important man
in Queens County. He was a strong adherent of the colonial gov-
ernors and the constituted authorities — also of the Church of Eng-
land. It is said that he was one of those who turned the Presby-
terians out of their church in Jamaica, under orders from Lord Corn-
bury, in 1702.

Samuel Clowes md. Catharine Donne, July 18, 1698. the year
before his emigration to America. She d. Aug. 7, 1740, aged 57,
and he on Aug. 27, 1760, aged 86. When advanced to the
age of 73 he was still drawing deeds and practising law. Both
Samuel Clowes and his wife are buried in the Episcopal church-yard
at Jamaica. His pew in Grace Church was Number 9, another pew
21, also was in his name and was probably used by members of the
family. This was in 1737 and he paid 16 sh. 10 d. and 14 sh. 6d. for
the two pews respectively. The children of Samuel Clowes' were:
Gerardus,^ Samuel,^ John,- Peter,^ Joseph,- Catharine first,^ Cath-
arine second,^ Mary,^ Aletta,^ and Millecent.- Of whom as follows :

Children of Samuel' and Catharine Clowes.

I. Gerardus,^ eldest son, b. April 27, 1699, probably at New York.
He spent his early life at Jamaica and is first mentioned in the
Records under date of April 25, 1719, when he appears as witness
to a deed from Rev. Thomas Poyer* to James Smith of Jamaica for
a parcel of upland in that town. Thompson states that he was Clerk
of Orange County, N. Y., in 1721-22. On Oct. 19, 1719, he md.
Sarah, dau. of Major Thomas Jones, ancestor of the Jones family of

Long Island. She was b. May 11, 1703, and d. . Gerardus

Clowes,^ d. Oct. 12, 1752, at Hempstead. His children were: Catha-
rine,'' Samuel,^ Timothy Bagley,^ and John.^

The first mention of Gerardus Clowes in the Hempstead town
records is on April i, 1730, when he is a witness to a deed for land
in the town. After this date his name is frequently met with, mostly
as witness to deeds. It is probable that he came to Hempstead a few
years previous to 1730. He evidently was a real estate conveyancer
and may have been a lawyer. He was Clerk of the Vestry of St.
George's Episcopal Church at Hempstead and signed himself as
such, in a petition for incorporating the church, addressed to the
Governor and Council of the Province of New York. Mr. Clowes
was evidently something of a schoolmaster also, as witness the fol-
lowing mention made of him by Rev. Robert Jenney, rector of St.
Georges, 1726-1742:

* Rev. Thomas Poyer was the second settled rector of Grace Episcopal
Church in Jamaica, officiating from 1710 to 1732. He kept a registry of bap-
tisms, marriages and burials from which several of the entries in this book
are taken.

l6o The Clowts Fiimily of Long Island. [April

"There is in the town spot Mr. Clowes, who about three-quarters
of a year ago began a school, and spent the Sunday evenings in
catechizing those negroes which would go to him during the winter ;
but in summer he has no time, the evenings being short and the day
taken up with the service in the church being twice performed, and
then there went but a few to be instructed by him."

"At my first coming here several of the leading men of the town
pressed me earnestly to represent to the Society the necessity of a
successor to Mr. Ciildersleeve (schoolmaster). I enclose a mem-
orial recommending Mr. Clowes. He is the son of a very active
friend of the missionaries, Mr. Samuel Clowes, of Jamaica, whose
services, especially to the two parishes of Hempstead and Jamaica,
are upon record."

II. Samuel,^ b. 1701, probably at New York, was a lawryer and
lived at Jamaica. He md. a dau. of Gov. George Clarke* of N. Y.
Province, and d. aged 58 on May 19, 1759 at Jamaica. He is buried
in the Episcopal church-yard at that place, where his parents also
rest. First mention of him in the Jamaica Town Records is under
date of April 5, 1740, when he was chosen Surveyor and Overseer of
the town highways, a position to which he was again appointed on
April 2, 1745. It will be seen that his father outlived him by a year
and three months. In 1737, he held pew 10 in Grace Church,
Jamaica, for which he paid 1 1 sh., 6 d. Like his father, he frequently
appears on the Records as a witness to deeds.

III. John,'' became a physician and removed to the State of Dela-
ware sometime after 1723. In that year he appears as witness to a
deed from Edward Willet to Robert Denton of Jamaica for ioj4
acres at a place called Freeman farm in the town of Jamaica.

IV. Peter,^ was bapt. by Rev. Thomas Poyer at Jamaica, Jan. 10,
171 1. Thompson states that he, together with his brother Joseph,*
removed from Long Island but does not say where they went.

V. Joseph,^ was bapt. by Rev. Thomas Poyer at Jamaica on Sept.
20, 1715. Thompson states that, together with his brother Peter, ^
he removed from Long Island, but does not say where they went. Be
that as it may, he is buried in the Episcopal church-yard at Jamaica
and d. Oct. 15, 1755. He probably was unmd., as no mention is
made of a marriage or baptism of children, in the church records
which were carefully kept during his lifetime.

VI. Aletta,^ was probably b. at New York. On May 9, 1722, she
md. Edward Willetj at Jamaica. She was the mother of 13 children
among whom was Col. Marinus Willett^ the Revolutionary hero.
Col. Willet was b. July 31, 1740, at Jamaica, and d. Aug. 23, 1830,
aged 90. At an early age. Col. Willett chose the profession of arms
and distinguished himself in the French and Indian War. When

the Revolution broke out, he immediately espoused the cause of the
Colonies and made a name for himself in many battles and cam-
paigns. When peace was declared he was chosen Sheriff of the City
and County of New York, and filled the office for four years. In
1807 he became Mayor of New York. For a fuller account of Col.
Willet, see Thompson's History of Long Island — Enlarged Edition.
Children of Edward and Aletta Willett were:

1. Johanna,^ bept. Aug. 27, 1728, at Flushing.

2. Edward,^ bapt. April 22, 1731, at Jamaica; d. Dec. 8, 1794

3. Catharine,^ d. Aug. 17, 1746.

4. Elbert,^ d. Aug. 19, 1738.

5. Jonah,^ d. May 25, 1749.

6. Aletta,^ d. Oct. 3, 1780.

7. Marinus,' b. July 31, 1740; d. Aug. 23, 1830.

VII. Millicent,^ was probably born at New York, on March 23,
1730, she md. Joseph Sackett* of the Newtown family of that name.
He was a merchant at New York but later moved to Orange County.
Children were :

I. Joseph,^ b. Feb. 16, 1733; became a physician and practised
at Newtown up to the outbreak of the Revolution, when be-
ing a Whig, he fled to Paramus, N. J. He d. in New York,
July 27, 1799. He md. Hannah, dau. of Richard Alsop of
Newtown, April 9, 1752, who d. in New York, May 31,
1817, in her 82nd year.

VIII. Catharine,^ first, was bapt. at Jamaica by Rev. Thomas Foyer,
Oct. 21, 1713, according to his own record. The same clergyman
records the burial of Catharine, dau. of Samuel and Catharine Clowes
on Feb. 10, 1710, at Jamaica. Catharine,^ second, was bapt. at
Jamaica, by Rev. Foyer, Sept. 9, 1718, and a Catharine, dau. of Sam-
uel and Catharine Clowes, was buried Jan. 19, 1713, at Jamaica ; both
entries being made by Rev. Foyer. Either there were four infants
of this name born, or else Rev. Foyer has made an error in his dates.
There are no other entries concerning these children in the church
records, nor do their tombstones appear in the list made by Henry
Onderdonk, Jr., in 1846, when he took a census of the Episcopal
church-yard.

IX. Mary,^ was bapt. Sept. 21, 1720, by Rev. Thomas Foyer, at
Jamaica. On April 8, 1749, she md. Rev. Daniel Thane of New
Jersey, who d. in 1763 on Staten Island.

He was a prominent man in the county and was commonly called

also as Justice of the Peace. His ear mark for cattle in 1745 was

lived at the "town spot" in Hempstead. His ear mark for cattle was

I. Timothy,' b. March 18, 1787, at Hempstead; md. Mary S., dau.
of Benjamin Hewlett, May 30, 1822 ; d. June 19, 1847, aged sixty, at
Hempstead. He attended Columbia College and graduated in 1808.
Although an Episcopal clergyman, he devoted most of his life to
academical instruction, in which profession he was extremely suc-
cessful. He was ordained Nov. 30, 1808, and his first charge was
St. Matthew's Church, Jersey City, N. J. During the latter part of
1809 he officiated at Grace Church, Jamaica, with which church his
ancestor Samuel Clowes was so prominently connected. In April,
1810, he was chosen rector of St. Peter's Church, Albany, N. Y.,
where he labored for seven years. At the end of this time he opened
a classical seminary in his native town of Hempstead, which con-
tinued for three years with much success. In 1821 he became prin-
cipal of the well-known Erasmus Hall Academy at Flatbush, where
he remained for three years. In 1823 he was called to the Presidency
of Washington College, Maryland, and to the rectorate of the Church
at Chestertown in that state. Here he remained until the college was
destroyed by fire in 1829. During this year. Dr. Clowes (he had re-
ceived the degree of LL.D.) again opened a school at Hempstead
which he maintained until 1838, when he was invited to preside over
the Clinton Liberal Institute at Clinton, N. Y., and did so until 1842.
From 1842 until 1846 he was in charge of a High School in Phila-
delphia. During the latter year he returned again to Hempstead and
died there on June 19, 1847, aged sixty.

Dr. Clowes was a man whose life and achievements have so far
not received the attention they merit from historians and biographers.
He was a teacher of the highest type and his cultivated mind was
that of a Christian gentleman. Plis friend, Benjamin F. Thompson,
historian of Long Island, and source of these genealogies, said of
him: "He was confessedly one of the best linguists and mathema-
ticians of the day. Indeed, his discoveries and improvements in the
latter science were most extraordinary."

During his lifetime, he published several books of an educational
and religious character and also started a magazine called The
Schoolmaster in 1830. In connection with his renown as a mathe-
matician, it is interesting to note that his ancestor Samuel Clowes,
first of the name on Long Island, also excelled in this science.

Dr. Timothy Clowes' children were :

" This entry was written so poorly and the ink faded so rapidly, that in
later years they could not hnd it. It is repeated as entry 556.

'* The recorder first wrote the name "Jenneke" and then crossed it out.
The date of birth was written by the Rev. Ralph A. Westervelt, pastor 1802 to
1808.

" Entries 291, 292, 294, 295, 296 and 297 are very much faded. The names
of the parents and children and the dates of births, have been traced in ink
over the origmal writing, thereby removing any opportunity to decipher what
was written underneath.

the birth dates, providing they were correctly traced.

" A marriage was entered by the same recorder on May 28, 1786. There-
fore the actual date of these baptisms was probably May 30.

" The reader will observe that this recorder was weak on dates. This is
another of the " Feb. 30" baptisms. The actual date of birth was Dec. 13,
1785, of baptism May 30, 1786.

" The date has been corrected. It may be either "18" or "20."

and a grandson of John C. Calhoun, Vice-President of the United
States. He died at his home, 200 West 58th Street, New York City,
December 18, 1918, in his 76th year.

He was educated at Thalien Academy, South Carolina, and was
a member of the Class of '63 of the South Carolina College, leaving
college to serve in the Confederate Army, where he reached the rank
of Captain. After the war he became a planter in Alabama, Missis-
sippi and Arkansas and, having amassed a fortune, he removed to
New York City in 1884.

He was a life-long member and first President of the New York
Southern Society, a member of the Manhattan and Lawyers' Clubs
of New York City, and of the Capitol City Club of Atlanta, Ga., and
of the Tilden Club of London, Eng. ; a member of the South Caro-
lina Historical Society and a member of the Military Order of For-
eign Wars, and of the Society of Sons of the American Revolution.
He was a special representative of the Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution to France in 1897, to commemorate the 119th
Anniversary of the Treaty of Alliance between France and the
original Thirteen States of the United States.

He married, December, 8, 1870, Linnie Adams, of Lexington,
Ky., grandniece of Richard M. Johnson, a Vice-President of the
United States, who, with three sons and one daughter, survive him.

He was a Life Member of the New York Genealogical and Bio-
graphical Society, to which he was elected April 13, 1900.

Albert Crane, born in New York City, December 30, 1842;
died at his home in Stamford, Conn., September 21, 1918. He was
a Life Member of this Society, having been elected thereto on March
9, 1894. An extended sketch of Mr. Crane will be found as the lead-
ing article in the January, 1919, issue of the New York Genea-
logical and Biographical Record.

Dr. James Douglas, a mining engineer, was born in Quebec,
Canada, and died at his home, Spuyten Duyvil, N. Y., June 25, 1918,
in his 81 St year.

He was graduated an A.B. from Queen's University, Kingston,
Canada, in 1858; and for his work in hydro-metallurgy he later re-

l86 JV<;croUgy, igiS-\giq. [April

ceivcd the degree of LL.D. from McGill University. He was for a
time Professor of Chemistry at Morrin College, Quebec. In 1875 he
came to the United States to live, going to Phoenixville, Pa., to take
charge of a copper plant, and later became identified with the copper
industry in Arizona, New Mexico and in Mexico. He was president
of a number of mining companies and finally became President of
Phelps, Dodge & Co., which office he held for many years, becoming
also Chairman of the Board of Directors of that company; these last
offices he resigned in 19 18, because of failing health.

Dr. Douglas was noted as a philanthropist and as a mining en-
gineer ; and was rated one of the foremost metal and mining authori-
ties in the world. He was also a historian and writer of note.

One of his largest known gifts for educational and charitable
purposes was that of 3^ grains of radium, the value of which has
been estimated at $375,000, given to the General Memorial Hospital
in this city. The radium has been used in the treatment of cancer
and other di.seases and was the product of many years' work of the
National Radium Institute in extracting the same from the natural
ores.

Dr. Douglas was a member of the American Institute of Mining
Engineers, of which he was twice President; a member of the
American Philosophical Society; the American Geographical So-
ciety ; the Society of Arts of London, and of the Iron and Steel
Institute.

He was a Life Member of the New York Genealogical and Bio-
graphical Society, to which he was elected January 13, 1914.

William Austin Macy, M.D., a noted alienist, was born in Har-
rison, N. Y., in 1862 ; he died suddenly at his late residence in Kings
Park, L. I., N. Y., May 21, 1918, in his 57th year.

He attended the School of Mines of Columbia University, New
York City, for one year, and was graduated from the College of
Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, in 1885.

He had been identified with the care of the insane in New York
State for 31 years. In 1887, he was attached to the hospital for the
City's insane at Hart's Island; in 1888, he was transferred to Black-
well's Island ; in 1889, he served at Ward's Island as Medical Super-
intendent. On January i, 1897, he was appointed Superintendent of
the Willard State Hospital. He had served at Kings Park Hospital
as Medical Superintendent since 1904. He was a member of the
Lotos Club of New York City.

It was Dr. Macy's supreme satisfaction to witness the enlistment
of three of his sons, all juniors, in the United States Army for service
in France. In a resolution adopted by the Board of Managers of
Kings Park Plospital, provision was made for the erection of a suit-
able tablet to Dr. Macy's memory in the y\dministrative Office.

Dr. Macy is survived by his wife Marion and six children, viz.:
William Charles, William Alexander and Alen Dent (all of whom
are in the militarj' service), Malcolm, Katherine and Mrs. Marjory
Macy Coleman.

served for many years as Historian of the Society, and was an inde-
fatigable worker in that office. He was an ardent student of gene-
alogy, and his manuscript records were voluminous. In the later
years of his life, due to ill-health, he was obliged to sever his official
connection with this Society, and his loss as an officer was deeply
felt. His memory is a lasting one and full of pleasant recollections
to the entire official staff with whom he was so long and so intimately
associated.

75. Morris — Anderson. — Corrections and Additions.

The following notes concerning the Morris family of New York
City amplify and correct the two articles on this family previously
published in the N. V. Gen. and Biog. Record. The fact that there
were two contemporaneous Isaac Morrises made the problem of
placing each a difficult one, and without the aid of the old New
York City Directories it would have been quite impossible of
solution.

The Report of the Nezv York State Historian, vol, i, p. 530, cites
the service of a George Morris, in 1715, in New Jersey, Third
Company, Col. Thomas Ffarmer's Regiment. This was probably
the George' Morris of the previous article in the Record.

The three sons of this George' Morris's son, Isaac' Morris,
married and settled in New York City. They were David,' Abra-
ham' and Jacob.' The line of David' has been carried down one
generation in the previous article entitled "Notes Concerning the
Morris Family of English Neighborhood, N. J., and of Tappan, N.
Y." {N. Y. Gen. and Biog. Record, vol. .xlv, p. 361). All three of these
sons of Isaac' Morris were firemen in New York in 1769, 1771 and
1772 (Minutes of the Common Council, vol. vii); and David' and
Jacob' served as firemen during the Revolution, in 1776, at least.
{Calendar of N. Y. Historical Manuscripts, vol. i, p. 315.)

Abraham' Morris married Jan. 13, 1760, Maria Marschalk, and
their children, bapt. in the Dutch Reformed Church, New York,
were: — Catherine,* 1761; Abraham,"* 1762; Isaac,* May 26, 1765;
Jacob,* 1768; Peter,* 1770; Maria,* 1773. The name of the father,
Abraham,' does not seem to appear in New York on the records
after Revolutionary times, and perhaps he returned to New Jersey.

His sons Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, however, remained in New
York, and Abraham^ and Jacob* had children and grandchildren
baptized in the Dutch Church. If it were not for the old Psalm
Book, now in possession of William Robert Stewart, which gives
the date of birth of the children of Isaac,* son of Jacob,' and the
early New York City directories, already mentioned, it would
have been impossible to distinguish these two families one from
the other. It will be noted that David^ did not repeat the Morris
family names. Mis sons were John,* William Henry* and David.*

Abraham A.* Morris, son of Abraham,' married Hannah Van
Imburgh. There is no marriage on record in New York for his
brother Isaac,* but they were both living, in 1800, at 55 Church
street. (A'^. Y. Directory, 1800.)

Jacob' Morris (Isaac,' George*), married Eleanor Edwards,
Jan. 9, 1765, and not 1764 as given in the N. V. Gen. and Biog.
Record, vol. xlv, p. 361. (A^. Y. Marriages, p. 272, and Dutch Ref.
Church Marriages, N. Y., p. 219.) There is, without doubt, an error
in the computation of the date of birth of their first child Isaac, as
given in the Psalm Book. This b(>ok was the property of Eliza-
beth Anderson and was probably presented* to her in 1784, and
before her marriage. It is not a Bible as stated in the N. Y. Gen.
and Biog. Record, vol. xlviii, p. 76, but is entitled The Psalms o)
David, with the Ten Commandments, Creed, Lords Prayer [etc.].
Tor the tise of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of the City of
Neiv York. Printed by Jatnes Parker at the New Printing Office in
Beaver Street MDCCLXVII. On the first fly leaf is written in a
beautiful handwriting, "Elizabeth Anderson. Her Book, Anno
Domini 1784, Oct. 20th." Above this (which occupies three lines)
is written in another hand, and smaller, fitting in between the
large E and A, " Isaac Morris." On another fly leaf, in another
writing, is entered, " Elizabeth Anderson, New York." This last
writing seems to be identical with the earlier entries in the record,
beginning with the birth of Isaac* Morris (which was undoubtedly
wrongly computed by the one who made the entries) and ending
with the statement "In 1794, August 5th, they had a son Born"
" whose name was Jacob. Lived to a good age," is added in
pencil, in what looks like, to her descendants, the writing of the
daughter and the youngest of the children of Isaac and Elizabeth
(Anderson) Morris, viz. Maria Elizabeth. The birth of this Maria
Elizabeth was apparently entered by Mr. William R. Stewart,
and he thinks it was done at the instigation of his mother. The
point which it has been endeavored to make clear, is that the
first entry, the date of birth of Isaac Morris, oldest son of Jacob
and Eleanor Morris, was computed wrongly, being in December,
the last month of the year 1765, and not 1764 as given in the
Psalm Book. He was baptized Oct. 5, 1766 (Church Record).

* Elizabeth Anderson and her brother John [children of Nicholas Ander-
son] were advanced scholars in the Dutch Church School and from which John
Anderson graduated.

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 INDI-
VIDUAL, whether a member of the Society or not.

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
fam
