WILLIAM EARLE DODGE.
By Josiah C. Pumpelly, A. M., LL. B.
Although William Earle Dodge is no longer present in the
body, to my mental vision he still remains an immortal shape, a
bright and inspiring personality.
As I write this heartfelt tribute to his character and kindly
influences, I see him distinctly as he appeared speaking in his
urbane and convincing way before the Union League Club, or
before the Young Men's Christian Association, making an earnest
plea for some good and important measure, or, as on a certain
occasion when the Hampton Institute scholars sang in the Brick
Church, eloquently pleading for the education of the Negro and
the Indian. And I remember on that occasion how impressive
and affectionate was the tribute he paid to the memory of Gen-
eral Armstrong, the late well-beloved principal of the Institute.
Mr. Dodge possessed a decided personality, and was ever ag-
gressive when some question of right was at stake, and all who
have met and conversed with him on any question of national
or municipal affairs, or better yet, on some one of his favorite
themes of philanthropic effort, can bear witness to his Christian
optimism and his power to impress even the most indifferent.
Of all the good men I have ever known, Mr. Dodge was one
of the most heartily and humanely helpful, and along very many
lines of effort. God had blessed him in nature and temper, and
he faithfully made the most of his gifts for the advantage of his
fellow men.
As President Hadlcy, of Yale, has so well said : "The new
conception of liberty is that it represents a responsibility or trust
to be exercised for the benefit of mankind." In the character of
William E. Dodge, I know that this was the underlying principle
of action throughout all of his exemplary life. This sense of
Christian stewardship as a practical working force in every voca-
tion, or avocation, was marked in him, as it was in his father,
and, also, the dominant note of his character was spiritual and
patriotic, and fofHhese reasons it is fitting that the community
should perpetuate his memory and hold lip in endearing honor
the record of his faithful citizenship.
At a meeting of the Union League Club, in 1878, in memory
2 William Earle Dodge. [Jan.,
of Theodore Roosevelt, the father of the present President of the
United States, Mr. Dodge, in a letter read at the meeting, says of
Mr. Roosevelt : " Thoroughly and strangely unselfish, with
untiring energy and bright cheerfulness he literally ' went about
doing good.' Sound, careful, with marvelous good judgment,
he added to these qualities a magnetic power in influencing
others I have never seen equalled. When he saw a practical
means of help to any needy ones he acted immediately. And
then, his uniform, sunny brightness melted every obstacle and
won all hearts."
Surely this beautiful tribute which Mr. Dodge paid to his
friend and co-worker will in every particular apply with equal
truth to himself. He always took a leading part in all those
measures of patriotism with which our Union League Club was
identified. He was ever a signal example of the public spirited
citizen, and to those of our mutual club friends who were rich,
yet indifferent as to civic matters, his voice was a clarion note,
calling them to a more unselfish and active participation in pub-
lic affairs and in even* effort for the betterment of mankind. I
was not one of his intimate friends, but he was to me, as well as
to many others, ever an inspiriting influence and example. Suc-
cessful merchant as he was, he never believed that the land of
the people should be degraded into merely a dollar making
factory, and the city's Botanical Gardens, the Museum of Art,
and many other philanthropic and civic interests, were his de-
light and study, because he saw what a power they could all be
in the uplifting and educating of the masses of our people.
As often as I pass by the beautiful Earl Hall, which Mr.
Dodge presented to the students of Columbia University, I am
reminded that in the regard of our well-loved friend educational
institutions and the interest of the student held a foremost place,
and we honor him all the more that this was so.
The words of the old classics Fidea Urbanitas et Humani-
tas very well describe the characteristics of Mr. Dodge's culti-
vated mind. He saw life steadily, and saw it as a whole, and
this made him tolerant in his judgment and beautiful in his
friendship,
As a veteran member of the Union League Club and asasus-
taining member of the Young Men's Christian Association, I had
the opportunities of witnessing on many memorable occasions
how Mr. Dodge by stirring and timely appeals so influenced the
action of these associations that wise counsels prevailed and
much good was accomplished. That this influence was well un-
derstood and appreciated is shown in the following resolution
passed by unanimous vote of the Union League Club: "Wil-
liam Earle Dodge, Senior Vice-President of this Club, joined the
club in 1863, and was at the time of his death one of its few sur-
viving founders. When the Union was in peril he was a promin-
ent and patriotic supporter of the Union cause; an intimate
friend of Lincoln, Grant and Sherman, and an associate of our
late members, Dr. H. W. Bellows and Theodore Roosevelt, Sr.,
in the Sanitary Commission in which he labored with unceasing
1904] William Earle Dodge. 3
energy, lie was one of the historic number of twenty-five
Union League Club members led by Jackson S. Shultz, who
marched at the lie. id of Col. Bartram's colored regiment down
Broadway from the old club house in Union Square, when that
regiment, raised by the club, went to the front. Mr. Dodge stood
in the front rank of men who valued citizenship above partisan
considerations. His character was well rounded and complete.
He was in all his intercourse the cultivated Christian man ; one
to be consulted whose advice was proverbially wise. He has,
doubtless, heard the plaudit 'well done' from the supreme Judge
of all human action."
He was ever my exemplar of the best type of the Christian
man of affairs, the helpful philanthropist, and the truest friend
of young men I have ever known. Then, too, his pleasant and
cordial way of greeting others, his persistent optimism and love
of peaceful methods in affairs of business, as well as of the state
and nation, were marked and controlling charactistics of the
man.
In my conversation with Mr. Dodge, it seemed plain to me
that he held strongly to the belief that no social or industrial
changes could ever displace individual accountability, and no
substitute could be found or devised for character in either the
home or the countingdiottse ; that to build up the new order was
the only fruitful and lasting labor, and that, as the prophets
dreamed of a perfected Israel, so we should plan for a perfected
society — a properly adjusted humanity. He believed that :
" We are not here to play, to dream, to drift ;
We have hard work to do, loads to lift ;
We are not to shun the struggle, but face it ; 'tis God's gift
This was his life's creed ; social distrust and despair had in
his mind no place in the working out of God's plans. He would
have religion without superstition, polities without war, art and
science without materialism, and wealth without misery and
wrong. With him 'twas hearth and heart, home and heaven, all
the way through, and with it all he had such a lovely spirit of old
time courtesy that none could ever say him nay. Better than
any words of mine, the following letters express in what estima-
tion our friend was held by those w : ho knew him best :
"•Avalon,' Princeton, n. J.,
November 12, 1903.
My Di'.ak Mr. I'impi i.i.y :

find a few reminiscences of him in my book Little Rivers, where he is de-
scribed in the chapter entitled ' Salmon-fishing on the Ristigouche,' under the
name of Favonius. My intercourse with Mr. Dodge as a parishioner was
most delightful in every way. I never new a man more ready to help in any
good cause or more happy in working for the extension of Christ's Kingdom.
The Lord, who loveth a cheerful giver, must certainly have had a peculiar love
for Mr. Dodge. He gave as if it were a pleasure to him. His sympathy with
every honest and practical effort to do good was quick and deep. His force
of character was enhanced and beautified by the gentleness of his manners.
He adorned the doctrine which he professed.
Faithfully Yours,
HENRY VAN DYKE."

Washington, November 12, 1903.
My Dear Mr. Pumpelly :
I knew Mr. William E.Dodge very well for over forty years, and had a very
high respect and warm regard for him. He had a very noble and beautiful
character and lead a life of the greatest usefulness. He not only always fol-
lowed high ideals, but he never failed in the effort and labor necessary to give
practical effect to them. He was not merely benevolent but he was charitable
111 the broadest sense in his judgment of his fellowmen and his always kindly
and considerate treatment of them, and he had strong sense and sound judg-
ment. His death was a great loss to the whole community, but his example
remains a great gain to everyone who was fortunate enough to know him.
I am glad you are going to write an appropriate article about him.
Faithfully yours,
ELIHU ROOT."
Y. M. C. A. International Committee Rooms,
New York, December 1, 1903.
My Dear Mr. Pumpelly :
William E. Dodge belonged to the highest type of manhood. Inheriting
large wealth, tempted to a selfish life of ease, he was as industrious in his
business as wealthy men who accumulate their entire fortune by their own
industry. As a christian philanthropist he stood in the very front rank in a
country as productive of this class of men as any other in the world. With
his gifts also went with equal generosity and greater unselfishness his personal
activity as officer and worker. His discriminating beneficence embraced an
unusual number of well chosen objects, but his interest in young men was
specially pronounced. To them his sympathy went out with peculiar tender-
ness.
It was for this reason that the work of the Young Men's Christian Associa-
tion called forth his life-long enthusiasm. The first four years of his adminis-
tration as president of the New York Association were signalized by the
planning and erection in 1869, on the corner of Twenty-third Street and Fourth
Avenue, of the first genuine association building in the world — the seed corn
of similar structures now erected on every continent. Here for the first time
the fourfold work for young men — physical, social, intellectual and spiritual —
was organized so excellently as to make it the pattern upon which the lines of
the association work have gone out through all the earth and its efficiency to
the end of the world.
His generous and statesmanlike sympathy, however, were not confined to
the New York Association. He included the whole brotherhood in his benefi-
cence. Lately two beautiful and costly buildings were given by him to the
students of Princeton and Columbia universities. At the close of the first year
of the new century he confessed to having contributed that year to twenty-
three departments of association work. He loved the work more than the
organization, and young men more than the work for them ; and he was am-
bitious, as a father might be for his son, that the work should stand for and
illustrate a stronger and purer type of manhood. By his own initiative and
through his personal iufluence he was the first citizen to give to the National
Government in its army department an association building — erecting it on
Governor's Island in New York Harbor. Subsequent legislation by Congress
has opened to his fellow-citizens similar opportunities of generous provision
for United States soldiers at all our large military posts at home and in the
Philippines.
He was wont to say of the Young Men's Christian Association that it was
an organization which discovered " the real value of young men and what
could be done to mould their lives to bring them to higher ideals, loftier pur-
poses, and greater fruitfulness and usefulness." He held it to this purpose.
His interest in it was measured and regulated by its progress toward this
standard. From youth to old age he was himself a model member of the
brotherhood — always cheerful and enthusiastic, strung in counsel, buoyant

and inspiring in his leadership. He never ceased to be a young man. This
was the se< ret of ins undying sympathy with young men. Their enthusiasms
were his nun. Listen to the glowing words With which onl) two years ago he
opened, as president, the American Jubilee Convention: "I trust that the
watchword of this convention the inspiration behind it all — will be ' Forward
fur the future! ' A splendid foundation has been built with Christ as the cor-
ner-stone. This in u century is a time of great opportunity and splendid re-
sponsibility. Cod grant that in this cenvention there may be men of large
hearts and noble souls who will go back and say : ' By God's grace I .1111
going to do something toward building up this great work. I mean to help
make this century the one winch shall most honor Christ and which shall see
most good accomplished for men.'" These were the words of one who bad
done his full share toward making his own century pre-eminent in Christward
tendency and progress.
Very Sincerely Yours,
RICHARD C. MORSE."
In answer to my letter Mr. Morris K. Jessup sent me a copy
of his letter to the N. Y. Evening Post, from which I quote the
following:
" The late William E.Dodge was a man to be loved and honored b) ill
classes. He was by nature gentle and kind, yet with a positive conviction ol
what was right, honorable and true. lieu. is born and brought up under in-
fluences moral and religious, and imbibed early the saintly qualities of mind
and heart of a noble father and mother.
It was the privilege oi the writer to have known Mr. Dodge as a boy, and
to have been Ins companion at school iii early days. This early acquaintance
ripened into an attachment and friendship which lasted for over sixty years
without a break, and (lining this long period he had abundant opportunity, in
the various walks of an active life and an intimate social acquaintance, to test
the qualities of mind and heart of this noble man.
He was the real, successful founder of the Young Men's Christian Asso-
ciation in this country, which had root in his strong personality, and which has
now become one of the most influential factors for good, among young men,
that exists in the world. His long leadership ol the I nited States branch of
the Evangelical Alliance is proof ol his Christian statesmanship and broad
catholicity. He was a promoter of peace in all disputes and quarrels among
nations and individuals, and Strongly urged arbitration as the best mean
sett lenient. He was .1 lover ol the beautiful in nature and art, as his associa-
tiation with the great nr the city will testify, as well as the true friend
of the Botanical and Zoological Can
He was a lover aid promoter ol science, as his gifts for research and in
vestigation prove and as his selection by Mr. Carnegie as one of his trustees of
the great Carnegie Institute of Washington bears testimony. Mr. Dodge's
private life was blameless. He was a loving husband, father and friend, aid .1
good citizen. His hon e was the resting place from strife, discord and selfish-
ness; it was a type of Heaven's abode, and all dwelling beneath its roof, as
well as visitors and friends who had knowledge of it, felt the holier and belter
uise of its influence. When such a man is called out of the world it leaves
it bereaved and saddened. We cannot afford to lose such in the times in
which we live, and our prayer is that Cod will prepare others to imitate Mr.
Dodge's example, that his place may be filled by those who will bear testi-
mony.as he has done, through a long life of unselfishness, devotion to duty,
high standard of living, and faithful service to the city, society and religion.
' We live m deeds. 1 1 "i years ; in thoughts, not breaths ;
In feelings, not in figures on a dial.
W e should count time by heart throbs. He most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.' "
And judged by this standard we may well say our friend
lived his life to the fullest and lived it nobly and we can be grate-

ful that here in the midst of an ever restless money and pleas-
ure loving people his character and life stand out clear and
clears free from every spot or blemish ; and as no fever of unrest
can disturb the soul which breathes the air or learns the ways of
Christ, so it was, we are assured, when his summons came, our
friend, with untroubled heart and complete calmness of soul, fell
asleep and passed to where beyond these voices there is rest and
peace forevermore.
JOHN HANCE AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS.
By Rev. William White Hance.
John Hance, one of the original settlers, under the Monmouth
Patent, of Shrewsbury, N. J., came from Dover, N. H., where,
by vote of the settlers, he was made an inhabitant 6th of 4th
month (June) 1656. On a Dover, N. H., tax-rate for July 21, 1657,
containing 93 names not arranged alphabetically, the name of
John Hance immediately precedes that of Thomas Hanson, who
was the father of the Tobias Hanson subscribing, together with
John Hance, for the purchase of lands in Monmouth Co., N. J.,
from the Indians, and the grandfather of that Tobias Hanson of
Dover, N. H. who executed a power of Attorney, Feb. 4, 1698-9
making "his uncle John Hance, of Shrewsbury, N. J. his general
agent in the Province of East Jersey." In 1665 John Haunce
"carpenter" buys land of George Walton in Dover, N. H. Dec.
28, 1669 John Hance is a Deputy and Overseer of Court at Portland
Point, Monmouth Co., N. J. and covenants with the town, Sept.,
1670, to build a pair of stocks. May 28, 1672, we find John Hause
named as an "Associate" with the Patentees of Middletown and
Shrewsbury. And in 1673, during the very brief rule of the Dutch,
John Hanoe* is one of those appointed by them as a "schepen"
or magistrate. The will of John Hance, "of Shrewsbury, yeo-
man, and being ancient and crazy," signed 24th of 1st month
called March, 1707, was proved Jan. 27, 1710, and in it he names
Elizabeth his wife as his executrix. She was probably the daughter
of the above mentioned Thomas Hanson of Dover, N. H., who,
in his undated will recorded June 27, 1666, speaks of his wife
Mary and two daughters, though he does not name them, under
the age of 18 years at the time of the signing. Elizabeth Hance
died 8th month 28, 1732, and the names of the children of John
and Elizabeth Hance, together with the dates of their birth, were
obtained from an old Bible still in existence and now owned by
one of their direct decendants.

BIBLE RECORDS.
Contributed by Helen Reynolds.
In 189S, Miss Cornelia Van Klceck of Poughkeepsie, gave to
the Daughters of the American Revolution of that place a Dutch
Bible, printed in 17 18, which was placed in the building known as
the "Clinton Museum," owned by the State of New York, and
occupied by the Daughters of the American Revolution.
On July nth, 1898, I copied the family record in this Bible,
and now send to the Record as a supplement to the material
published in July and April last year, as contributed by Mr.
Alfred Leroy Becker. I do not recall whether I made a "line
upon line" copy, but the names and dates may be relied upon.
It will be seen that Mr. Becker was correct in his supposition
that Francis Filkin was born in 1703, not '04.

"January the 27, 1788, then my daughter Cynthia was mar-
ried.
July the (4 or 5) day 1798 then her first son was born, named
Baltus, and August the 26, 1792 her second son was born (named?)
Baltis."
Following, in another hand.
"My son Leonard B. Vn Kleeck was born April 18, 1787.
"My daughter Margaret Vn Kleeck was born Nov. 6, 1790."
Leonard B. Van Kleeck and his sister Margaret, (afterward
the wife of John Guy Vassar St.), were children of Baltus Van
Kleeck by his fourth wife Rhoda Dutcher. His third wife was
Josyntha Corsa, and they had a daughter Cynthia.
Baltus Van Kleeck was a son of Peter Van Kleeck, (d. 1732/3)
and his wife Cathrina Lewis, who married, second, Sep. 21, 1733,
Francis Filkin.
This Bible therefore came into the possession of the Van
Kleeck family, by the marriage of Francis Filkin to the widow of
Peter Van Kleeck.
Frans Hegeman and Antjen Ruwaart-Rugaard, his wife,
appear upon the records of the Dutch church, Poughkeepsie, in
1740 and 1742/3, as witnesses to baptisms.

ONONDAGA COUNTY RECORDS— 1800-1827.
Contributed hv L. D. Scisco.
(Continued from Vol. XXXIV.. p. 267 of The Record.)
The word illiterate inserted after names in this record indicates that the individuals
signed with an +.
The compiler of the Onondaga records contributions closes the series with
this number. From 1709 onward, the Syracuse records contain occasional
papers executed by or referring to ex-soldiers of the Revolution, but the work
of searching them out in the enveloping mass of documents has not been
carried beyond the year named. Those memoranda of later date here follow-
ing are but addenda to earlier documents. It is well to repeat, in closing, the
statement made when the present series began, that it covers only the realty
documents relating to the present county of Onondaga. Inasmuch as the orig-
inal county of Onondaga covered an area embraced in at least six of the pres-
ent counties o( central New York, it is evident that the series of memoranda now
closed has merely made an entry upon an interesting field of research. Fully
four-fifths of the material embodied in the early Onondaga records is as yet
untouched by genealogical inquiry. Its character is precisely the same as the
matter already printed. It is prolific in clues for the tracing of Revolutionary
ancestry, though seldom giving details at length. Practically every soldier who
[ought in the New York line during the great struggle has left somewhere in
the 1 mondaga records one or more memorials of himself in connection with
the land granted to him. The existence of these records should be kept in
mind in the present general search for new sources of genealogical facts.

Bebe, Boonerges; mentioned in statement by Stephen Colver,
who deposes that Bebe was reputed in New London, where
he resided in 1792 and since, to have been a soldier in the
New York line. Dudley Emerson deposes that he has known
Bebe for twelve years, that he is reputed to have been a
native of New London and to have served in the New York
line. Date, Nov. 28, 1800. -

A BRANCH OF THE VAN BRUNT FAMILY IN MON-
MOUTH COUNTY, NEW JERSEY.
By George C. Beekman.
The Van Brunts in Monmouth County are a branch of the
well known family, of this name, who have been prominent in
the history of New Utrecht, in Kings Co., Long Island, from its
first settlement down to the present day.
Hon. Tunis G. Bergen a resident of Bay Ridge, adjacent to
New Utrecht, was well acquainted with this family, and the
Bergens had also intermarried with them. In the Van Brunt
Genealogy Mr. Bergen correctly names Rutger Joesten Van Brunt,
who came from Holland to America in 1653, as the common an-
cestor of the Van Brunts in America. He was one of the first
settlers of New Utrecht and a farmer by occupation. In 1661 he
was a member of the Court of Schepens, and in 1678-79-80
was one of the principal magistrates under the English
Government.
In early records of the inhabitants of New Utrecht his name
is sometimes spelled " Ruth Joosten." See Vol. I. of O'Callag-
haris Documentary History of New York.
He married for his first wife Tryntje (Catharine) Claes, the
widow of Stoffel Harmensen Van Borculo (now Barkalow) and
had by her three sons Nicholas, Joost or George, and Cornelius.
He died intestate prior to 1713 leaving considerable real estate,
which was divided between his two sons and a grandson, for his
son Nicholas died in 16S4 leaving one son only.
Rutges's son Cornelius was a farmer, and lived and died at New
34 -4 Branch of the Van Brunt Family in Monmouth Co., N. J. [Jan.,
Utrecht. Besides the land inherited from his father he acquired
considerable real estate at Gravesend and at New Utrecht. He
was an Elder in the Dutch Church of New Utrecht from 17 15 to
to 1731, a member of the Colonial Legislature of New York
from 1698 to 1 731, and a justice of the Peace in Kings County
from 1 7 12 to 1718. He was highly respected for his integrity and
good judgment.
He married December 18, 1685, Tryntje (Catharine) a daugh-
ter of Adrain Williamsen Bennett, of Gowanus, (now part of
Brooklyn City) and died about 1748.
His will is dated July 25, 1748, proved May 13, 1754 and re-
corded in Surrogate's Office of New York City in Book 19, of wills
page 34. He appoints his sons Rutgert and Nicholas, Executors.
His son Nicholas is the one who settled in Monmouth Co., New
Jersey and was the progenitor of all the Van Brunt's now resid-
ing here. Mr. Bergen is however mistaken in the name of his
wife and the date of removal from Long Island to Monmouth
County.
In the Van Brunt Genealogy he supposes that Nicholas married
Geesye daughter of Claes Thomasse Van Dyke by his second
wife Francyntje Hendricks, and settled in Monmouth County in
1750. He is wrong in both of these statements. The old records
of Marlboro Dutch Church, show that Nicholas Van Brunt and
Geesie Hendricks his wife became communicants there in 1731,
and subsequently had three children, all daughters, baptized viz:
Engeltje baptized April 27th, 1732; Augenetje baptized March
9th, 1734, who married Albert, son of Garret Schenck and Neeltje
Voorhees his wife of Pleasant Valley, Monmouth Co.. New Jersey;
Geesye baptized October 23rd, 1737.
The other children whom Mr. Bergen names must have been
born prior to his removal to Monmouth County, and the record
of their baptism may probably be found in records of the New
Utrecht Dutch Church. These children were three sons Hend-
rick, Cornelius, and Nicholas, and three daughters Catharine,
Jannetje and Anne, making in all nine children. It was custom-
ary in early days in the Dutch Church to enter the wife's maiden
name, in church book when she became a communicant.
Nicholas Van Brunt married Geesye Hendrickson, a sister of
Daniel Hendrickson, who was the first settler of this name at
what is now Holland in Holmdel Township, Monmouth Co., New
Jersey. Nicholas Van Brunt's father died in 1748 and he came
into his share of this estate. In 1752 he sold all his share in this
real estate at New Utrecht to his brother Rutgert Van Brunt for
over nine thousand dollars.
A deed recorded in Monmouth County Clerk's Office shows
that Nicholas purchased of Robert Hunter Morris in 1750 a tract
of six hundred acres of land at Tinton Falls. Mr. Bergen has
doubtless been governed by the date of this deed when he states
that Nicholas Van Brunt removed from Long Island to
Monmouth County in 1750. The records of the Marlboro
Dutch Church show that he was here nineteen years prior to
that time.
1904.] A Branch of the Van Brunt Family in Monmouth Co., N.J. 35
His brother Rutgert remained at New Utrecht and lived and
died there. He married Elizabeth daughter of Albert Coerten
Van Voorhees, and had a daughter named Catharine who married
Daniel Hendrickson, the Colonel of the third regiment of Mon-
mouth Militia during Revolutionary War. He also had a son
Rutgert who became an extensive land owner at Gravesend and
New Utrecht. He also owned land in what is now Matawan in
Monmouth County. He held many important offices in Kings
Co., Long Island. He was a colonel of the militia and also High
Sheriff of Kings Co., Long Island.
He was a first cousin to Major Hendrick Van Brunt of Mon-
mouth County who married Eleanor a sister of the famous Cap-
tain John Schenck for whom the English offered a reward of
fifty guineas living or dead. It was his acquaintance with Capt.
Schenck which nearly ruined him. John Schenck and Capt.
Marriner on Saturday evening June 13th, 1778, left Middieiow
Point, now Matawan, with a number of men in a whale boat in-
tending according to the Long Island story, to capture David
Matthews, the notorious mayor of New York City, a Miles Sher-
brook, Major Moncrieffe and a Mr. Bache, who all resided at
Flatbush, L. I. and within the British lines; fortunately for
themselves the two first named happened to be away from
home on that eventful night, but the last two named were found
in bed, and they were compelled to arise and dress; they were
then carried off to New Jersey as prisoners together with four
negro slaves belonging to Mayor Matthews.
Now after the battle of Long Island, the residents of Kings
County were entirely in the power of the English army. Many
of them in their fright and to save their property, took oath of
allegiance to the King of England. John Schenck and Marriner
landed on the shore of New Utrecht near midnight of June 13th,
177S, and went to the houses of Col. Van Brunt and some other
of their friends, to find out the exact location of every British
sentinel at Flatbush and on the public road thereto.
The British officers naturally thought, that this body of nun
could not have gone through New Utrecht and returned without
some of the inhabitants had known of it. They held that anyone
who saw them and failed to give the alarm was guilty of high
treason. Three days after the raid Col. Van Brunt, his brother
Adrian, Rem Van Pelt and Aut Van Pelt were arrested and con-
fined separately in Provost prison of New York City. Col. Van
Brunt managed to bribe the officer of the guard to allow him at
midnight a secret interview with each of his fellow prisoners.
They agreed to stand together and deny all knowledge of the
raiders. Although severely examined separately, and informed
that the others had confessed, and his only salvation was to tell
the whole truth, each one stood firm in their denial of all knowl-
edge of the raid.
As there were no witnesses or evidence against them, they
were all discharged. If the English had known of Col. Van
Brunt's close relationship or acquaintance with one of the leaders
36 A Branch of the Van Brunt Fomily in Monmouth Co., N.J. [Jan.,
of this kidnapping party, Capt. John Schenck, they might not
have got off so easy.
Col. Van Brunt also loaned a considerable sum of money to
his brother-in-law Col. Daniel Hendrickson of Monmouth County
which he advanced to purchase powder, balls and other stores for
his regiment.
Nicholas Van Brunt the first of this name in Monmouth
County made his will April 12, 1760. It was proved February
1st, 1782, and is recorded at Trenton. He appoints his son
Hendrick and Tunis Denise of Monmouth County executors.
He devised his land at Tinton Falls to his two sons Hendrick
and Nicholas equally. I do not know why he cut off his son
Cornelius.
Hendrick married Eleanor, daughter of Garret Schenck and
Jannetje Williamsen Van Covenhoven, his wife. There were no
children by this marriage.
Hendrick VanBrunt was a Major in 3rd Regiment of Monmouth
Militia. He was captured by the enemy and at first confined in
the Sugar House in New York City, and afterwards was a paroled
prisoner on Long Island. A letter written by him and signed by
him, his brother-in-law Tobias Polhemus, Auke Wyckoff and
other officers, to Gov. Livingston of New Jersey complaining of
their destitution is published in Revolutionary Correspondence of
Neiv Jersey. Some of these men had been prisoners nearly four
years. I do not know whether they were ever exchanged.
Hendrick Van Brunt's will is dated August 26, 1794 proved Feb.
ii, 1797 and is recorded at Trenton. He appoints his brother-in-
law John Schenck, of Freehold Township and Auke Wyckoff, of
Shrewsbury Township, his executors. He devises his real estate
at Tinton Falls equally between his brother Nicholas Van
Brunt, and the four sons of his brother Cornelius, deceased.
That is one half to his brother Nicholas and the other half to
Cornelius, Hendrick, Nicholas and Joseph C. the four sons of
Cornelius Van Brunt, deceased.
Cornelius married Magdalena Fenton about 1750, and had
two sons who were baptised in the Marlboro Dutch Church.
Hendrick baptized May 7, 1752.
Cornelius baptized Jan. 28, 1754.

38 New Brunswick Loyalists of the War of the Am. Revolution. [Jan.,
NEW BRUNSWICK LOYALISTS OF THE WAR OF THE
AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
Communicated by D. R. Jack, Historian of the New Brunswick Loyalists' Society;
Cor-Secy. of the New Brunswick Historical Society; Author Centennial
Prize Essay, History of St. John ; Editor Acadiensis etc.
The causes of the War of the American Revolution and the
justice of the claims put forward by either of the parties con-
cerned in that memorable struggle, are not within the scope of
the present article. That at its termination over one hundred
thousand persons were compelled to leave the country to begin
life again beyond the borders of the new republic, and that this
movement was disastrous alike for victor and vanquished will be
generally admitted. Neither does it fall within the compass of this
sketch to dwell upon the possible results had an honorable truce
been arranged, and an effort made to induce the Loyalists to cast
in their lot with the young nation which had just come into
existence.
As it was, many of the most capable and highly educated men
in the various walks of life throughout the land who had adhered
to the side of Great Britain found themselves at the close of the
war penniless, without a home, without means of livelihood, and,
with their wives and families were scattered broadcast over the
British dominions.
Many of them returned to Great Britain, many settled in the
British West Indies, about 30,000 of their number settled within
the confines of the present Province of Nova Scotia, and about
10,000 settled in New Brunswick, then a portion of the province
just named.
The British Government acted generously, and, considering the
inadequate facilities for communication and transportation then
existing, with fairly commendable promptitude. Grants of land,
either in town plots, or for agricultural purposes, were made as
rapidly as surveys could be carried out, and in the meantime
supplies of lumber with which to construct temporary homes
were delivered to the distressed and unfortunate people. Full
rations were granted to Loyalists and Refugees for the first year,
half rations for the second year, and one-third rations for the
third year. After this they were supposed to have been able to
make a new commencement, and to undertake life's responsibili-
ties without further assistance from the motherland.
In the meantime a commission had been appointed by the
British Government to hear the claims of the Loyalists for com-
pensation for their losses in consequence of the war. Meetings
IQ04-] New B runs-wick Loyalists of the War of the Am. Revolution. 39
were held at various central points, and notices distributed at the
more remote centres inviting all those who considered that they
were entitled to compensation to appear and state their case be-
fore the Commission.
Unfortunately, many, in their remote country homes never
heard of the appointment of such a Commission, and so failed to
participate in the partial relief intended for them, others were so
miserably poor that they could not afford the expense incidental
to a journey to the nearest point of meeting and a proper hear-
ing of their case.
Copies of the evidence of those who did attend, together
with the finding of the Commissioners in the several cases, are
contained in more than sixty huge manuscript volumes, which
may be consulted in the Lenox Library, New York. These
volumes form interesting reading to the student of Loya-
list biography, and as the statements made were taken down
with much particularity, a great deal of history that would other-
wise have been lost, has been preserved for the present and
future generations.
It is impossible at this remote period to properly distinguish
in a list such as the following between the Loyalist and the
Refugee. That at the close of the War the Loyalist hated and
despised the Refugee is a matter of history. There were bitter
complainings that a generous Government should mete out to
those who had run away rather than fight for the cause which
they had at first espoused, the same measure of relief afforded
to those who had manfully borne the brunt of battle and suffer-
ed honorable defeat. The government could not and did not
discriminate in such instances, and it was possibly well that it
was so.
Time, the great healer of many woes, has left us with little or
no means of distinguishing the two classes named.
The regiments of disbanded loyal troops with their officers
may assuredly be classed with those who were Loyalists in word
and deed, and the records of many more or less prominent men
have been sufficiently preserved to leave no doubt as to where
they stood, but there were thousands of others whom it would
now be difficult to place, and of many of whom no records beyond
their actual names remain.
The series of articles, to which these few words are intended
as an introduction, represents what is probably the first effort to
compile a complete list of the Loyalists who settled in what is
now the Province of New Brunswick, and meagre and defective
as it is, it represents the results of many years of research,
through almost every known source of information. It is the
writer's hope, however that it may be the means of arousing in-
creased interest in the subject, and bringing to light much data
that is at present difficult of access, or which might in the course
of time become obliterated.
It is intended to follow up the present work with something
more detailed and comprehensive, and to this end the cordial
40 New Brunswick Loyalists of the War of the Am. Revolution. [Jan.,
co-operation is solicited, of persons who may be able to assist by
the suggestion of additional names obtained either from private
records or from other sources which may not have been consulted.
When it is remembered that among the ten thousand indi-
viduals, there was an unduly large proportion of women and child-
ren as a result of the war, and that the present list includes over
3,000 persons, largely heads of families to whom grants were
made, it will be conceded that at least something has been accom-
plished towards the fulfillment of the task undertaken.
An effort has been made to give in addition to the full name
of each of the individuals enumerated, their location before and
after the war. The particulars in the column headed "From"
are painfully meagre, and an appeal is made to readers of the
" Record" to furnish information concerning individuals with
whose history they may be familiar, so that should a second
edition of this work be undertaken it may be much more com-
plete than that which is now published.
In the second column will be observed one or more reference
letters to which the following is the explanation. This key will
not again be published during the continuance of the present
series of articles, and readers who are interested in the work are
advised to preserve it for future reference. It is as follows : —
A. Grantees of Parr Town, now a portion of the City of
St. John.
B. Grantees of Carleton, now St. John West.
C. Grantees of St. Andrews, Charlotte County.
D. Grantees at Morristown (St. Stephen) The Port
Matoon Association.
E. Chiefly disbanded officers and soldiers of the 74th.
Highlanders who settled in Charlotte County.
F. Grantees of the 74th. Regt. at Digdeguash.
G. Grantees of the 74th. Regt. at Schoodic Falls.
H. The Penobscot Association.
I. The Cape Ann Association.
K. Loyalists concerning whom more or less extensive
notes will be found in Sabine's Loyalists of the
American Revolution.
L. Persons buried in the Loyalists graveyard St. John,
whose gravestones were extant in 1883, see "Loy-
alist Centennial Souvenir," published that year.
M. " Return of the Families etc. embarked on board the
Union Transport, Cousett, Wilson Master, Began
Huntingdon Bay, April nth and completed April
16th 1783."
N. Persons who signed the Quaker Loyalist agreement
" to settle themselves together on the River St.
Johns in Nova Scotia."
O. Names supplied from miscellaneous sources, chiefly
the private records of the compiler of this list.
Other reference letters will probably be added as the pub-
lication progresses.

1904.] The Origin of the Name, Storm Van Der Zee. 45
THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME, STORM VAN DER ZEE.
By Alfkkd L. Becker.
Among the papers of Killian Van Rensselaer, first patroon of
Rensselaerswyck, in New Netherland, which are the property of
the Van Rensselaer-Bowier family of Amsterdam, Holland, is
the log or journal kept by the skipper of the ship. "The Arms
of Rensselaerswyck," of a voyage to America in 1636-7. A pack-
age of these papers, perhaps all of them, are now in the posses-
sion of the State Library at Albany, New York. They have
been loaned to the State until February, 1904, to permit copies
and translations to be made for publication ; their appearance as
a publication of the State may be expected during the coming year.
The log above mentioned contains an item of especial inter-
est to the many descendants of that picturesque character of
early Albany, Storm Van der Zee. It is a confirmation of the
tradition current in the family that he was called "Storm from
the Sea" because he was born on the voyage to New Netherland
during a storm. His father's surname was not Van der Zee, but
Bratt. Albert Andriesz Bratt "de Noorman" was indeed the
common ancestor of the Bratt and Van der Zee families, and be-
sides he gave his name to the Norman's Kill, a stream just south
of Albany which runs through the "Yale of Tawasentha" of
Longfellow's Hiawatha, into the Hudson River. On the banksof
this creek Albert de Noorman settled about the year 1637, there
he lived with his wife Annetje Barents Van Rotmers, and with
his second wife, Geetruy Vosburg, from whom he was divorced,
and when he died, June 7, 1686, the chronicler who recorded his
death took pains to state that he was "one of the earliest dwellers
in the Colony of Rensselaerswyck.
Just half a century before, September 25, 1636, the "Arms of
Rensselaerswyck" set sail from Amsterdam, and it seems that
Albert Andriesz and his wife, Annetje Barents, were passengers.
They were a young couple from Frederikstad, Norway, as it
appears from Killian Van Rensselaer's journal of his administra-
tion as patroon, another of the Van Rensselaer-Bowier manu-
script. Their ship spent New Year's day and a week or two be-
sides at Ilfracombe, Eng., on the Bristol Channel, arrived in New
York, in March, and finally at Beverwyck, Albany, April, 7, 1637.
Under date of November 2, 1636, the log, which is stated to
be a journal prepared for the Skipper, Jan Tiepkesz Schellinger,
contains an entry of which the following is a literal translation :
"Sunday, 2nd ditto : Ran 16 miles North-East by East, the
wind about West ; by guess, latitude 41 degrees, 50 minutes ; with
exceedingly rough sea ("met heel hoi waeter, " — literally, very
hollow water) ; this day the waves broke over our helm repeated-
ly, with the stormy weather; this day was born here on the ship
a child, who was given the name, and in England was baptized,
Storm ; the mother, Annetie Barents ; the above the events of
the day. "

DAVID COLE.
By Rev. Melatiah E. Dwight.
The Rev. David Cole, D. D., educator, clergyman and author,
died October 20, 1903, at Yonkers, N. Y., aged eighty-one years.
He became prominent as a teacher and afterward as a minister
of the Reformed Church, but it is especially because of his zeal
in behalf of local history and genealogy, and his many contribu
tions to the same, that his name is honored in genealogical
circles. He was the author of "The History of Rockland County,
N. Y. " as well as of other similar works, and it is on account of
these labors that the following sketch of his long and useful life
is given in the Record. There are too few like him who are
ready to devote the leisure moments snatched from laborious pro-
fessional duties to the study of the records of the locality in
which they reside, and who are interested in the simple annals
of the men and women, — for the most part lowly pioneers in the
march of a benign civilization — who have lived there before them.
We therefor gratefully pay this tribute to his memory.
David Cole was born, September 22, 1822, at the family home-
stead in Spring Valley, N. Y. He was of pure Holland descent.
His father was the Rev. Isaac D. Cole, son of David Cole and
grandson of Isaac Cole, all of Tappan, N. Y. The latter was the
fourth in descent from Barent Jacobsen Kool, one of the officers
of the West India Company in New Amsterdam as early as 1633.
His mother was Anna Maria Shatzel, daughter of John Michael
Shatzel, Jr., of New York. He received his preparatory educa-
tion under his father's tuition and then entered Rutgers College,
from which he was graduated in 1842. After graduation he
adopted the profession of teaching and continued to follow it for
more than sixteen years. He first taught a select school near
his father's residence in Tappan and afterward a similar one in
New Brunswick, N. J. In 185 1 he became the principal of
Trenton Academy (founded in 1 771) at Trenton, N. J. Largely
through his instrumentality the State Normal School of New
iersey was founded in 1854. The same year he was appointed
y Gov. Rodman M. Price a member of its first board of trustees,
and in 1857 was made professor of Latin and Greek in that insti-
tution.
For some time previous to this latter appointment he had
been privately studying for the ministry, and had established
and carried on a mission which became finally the Fifth Presby-
terian Church of Trenton. He was licensed to preach, April, 13,
1858 at Pennington, N. J., by the Presbytery of New Brunswick,
and on the 28th, of November of the same year was ordained to
the ministry by the Classis of New Brunswick and installed as
pastor of the Reformed Church of East Millstone, Somerset Co.,
N. J. In February 1863 he was elected Professor of the Greek

Language and Literature in Rutgers College, and he continued
to hold this chair until February 10, 1866 when be was installed
in the pastoral charge of the Reformed Church of Yonkers, X. Y.
He continued to serve this church with great acceptance and
ability for the long period of thirty-one years, when on Septem-
ber 1st, 1 S 9 7 he resigned his charge, having reached the advanced
age of seventy-five years. During his pastorate the present
bandsome edifice of the First Reformed Church was erected.
He received the honorary title of Doctor of Divinity from
Franklin and Marshall College in 1 S65, and was President of the
General Synod of the Reformed Church in 18X4.
Dr. Cole was an able and prolific writer. His published
works, the table of which occupies one whole page of " The
Manual of the Reformed Church in America" are too numerous
to mention in this article. His first appearance as an author was
in a small "Manual of English Grammar" published in 1848,
which was followed by a larger work entitled " Principles of
English Grammar, Applied." In 1854 he delivered an address be-
fore the State Legislature upon the " Needs of the New Jersey
Public School System" which was published for general circula-
tion, and the same year he read a paper on " Classical Education "
at the Smithsonian Institution which was published and which
attracted much attention both in this country and abroad. After
his entrance into the ministry his published works consisted
mainly of sermons preached upon special occasions and historical
addresses. He was greatly interested in church and local annals
and was a gifted public speaker. Accordingly his services were
in demand whenever the occasion called for a commemorative,
or anniversary, discourse. Among the more important of these
are: "Historical Address at Bi-Centennial of Founding of
Yonkers City Hall Building, " 1882 ; "Historical Sermon at
Fortieth Anniversary of the Reformed Church of Yonkers,"
1883; " Historical Address at Bi-Centennial of the Organization
of the old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow, Tarrytown, " 1897 ;
and the "Historical Address at Centennial of Founding of Rock-
land County, N. Y." 1898. In 1876 Dr Cole published an elab-
orate genealogy of his own family under the title of "Isaac Cole
and Catharine Servin." In 1876 he edited the "History of
Rockland County, New York," and in 1886 contributed a "History
of Yonkers" to Scharf's History of Westchester County. In 1894
he published the "History of the Reformed Church of Tappan,
N. Y. " which was prepared for the bi-centennial of that church.
His last publication was the " First Record Book of the Old
Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow ; a Translation of its Minutes
and Elaborate Copy of its Registers with Exhaustive Index "
Dr. Cole was an accomplished scholar and theologian, a
faithful minister, a model citizen, and a man of singular nobility
and purity of character, affectionate, generous and accessible to

• On page 234 of the Record for Oct.. 1902, I stated that Daniel, son of Thomas Fuller
(No. 17). m. Eunice Andrews. The only authority for Daniel, son ,.f Thomas, is an entry in the
church record. (tivinR the baptism of "Daniel, son of Thomas Fuller. April 4. 17.V." Either
this is an error of the record in name and date, or that Daniel d young. In 1757, d. Jonathan
Fuller, son of Thomas (No, 17), and his estate was divided anions h:s bl libera and sisters,
among whom no Daniel appears. I now believe that the church record is in error, and refers
to Daniel (72), son of Matthias.

EDITORIAL.
We have before us a letter from a valued friend and esteemed corres-
pondent touching upon that phase of genealogical work in which we have been
long and deeply interested, — the preservation of local records. In view of the
fact that his question and suggestions are of interest to those concerned in the
matter, we take this occasion to reply to the one and comment upon the other.
Our correspondent asks whether it is not possible to build up among the
members of various patriotic and historical societies a fund for the purpose of
66 Obituary. [Jan.,
carrying on the work in a business-like way; and to his question we, under the
burden of much experience, reply sadly, ashamedly, but simply, — no. Why?
For countless reasons, among which are diverse other interests, innumerable
demands upon the purse in our modern, complex life, and finally, apathy. We
have found that there are many in whom " the spirit is williug but the flesh is
weak," while the great majority of the financially strong are apathetic in spirit.
Again, our correspondent asks if some plan could not be devised which
would create an interest in the individual towns and, by agitation in their local
papers, stimulate them to preserve their own records. To this we reply per-
haps it could; but the plan would be long in producing effect, for the editor or
contributor to the local paper would have to eternally keep at it, and bide the
time when, by chance, his seed should fall upon fertile soil and blossom forth
in some individual in the town, who should push the matter to completion. We
know of some instances where the blossoming required three generations of
growth. Beside, such agitation ought to be carried on methodically over an
extended territory, and supervised by some one centrally located, thoroughly
imbued with the subject, financially independent, patient, indefatigable and
generous in the pursuance of a labor of love. With all these necessary quali-
fications in mind, to whom can we point and say, " Behold the Man?"
Our correspondent suggests conferring honorary membership in historical
societies upon professional genealogists who have copied, or will copy, local
records for their own use, and will present them to these societies. Professional
genealogists guard such records jealously and regard them as valuable per-
sonal property. Besides they are not always accurate.
So far we have been tearing down a structure, stone by stone. Day
laborers can do that, but it requires the master mechanic to build one. Let us
try to do this. The key-note of our correspondent's questions and suggestions
is Voluntary Labor. It is the corner-stone of his structure. We have tried to
build upon it ourselves but invariably found it too weak. The antithesis is
Business Method. If we employ the energy necessary to stimulate the former
in effecting the latter, we shall soon be able to sit down and enjoy the first
fruits of our labor. Agitate then the passage by our State Legislature of a bill
which shall provide for the appointment of a State Commissioner of Public
Records with an adequate salary and necessary funds, whose duty it shall be
to search out these local records, transcribe them, publish them in an annual
report and then compel the proper preservation of the originals; and lo ! the
riddle is solved. Such a man would be centrally located, interested in his
subject, financially independent and working for his hire. With these qualifi-
cations in mind there are many to whom we could point and say, " Behold the
Man."
OBITUARY.
Dwight, John, died Nov. 25, 1903, at his residence in New York City,
aged eighty-four years. He was born Aug. I, 1819, at South Hadley, Mass.,
and was the son of Dr. Elihu Dwight of South Hadley, who was the eldest son
of Justus Dwight and grandson of Capt. Nathaniel Dwight, both of Belcher-
town, Mass. The latter was fourth in descent from John Dwight of Dedham.
His mother was Lydia White, daughter of Capt. William White of Springfield,
Mass., who was an officer in the Continental army under Washington and was
killed at the siege of Yorktown, Oct. 13, 1781. He came to New York in 1846,
and began the successful manufacture of bi-carbonate of soda in this country,
under the firm name of John Dwight & Co. In 1896, the firm was merged in
the corporation of Church & Dwight Company, of which Mr. Dwight was pres-
ident until his death. He founded the Dwight School at Erwin, Tenn., and
gave the Art Memorial building to Mount Holvoke College.
He was married Jan. 13, 1841, to Nancy Shaw Everett, daughter of Metcalf
Everett of Foxboro, Mass., the son of John Everett and Melatiah Metcalf,
daughter of Samuel Metcalf of Wrentham, Mass. Her mother was Fanny
Shepard, daughter of Major Joseph Shepard of Foxboro. She died Nov. 2,

atiah Everett and John Elihu Dwight, both of New York City.; Anna Frances,
wife of the Rev. Dr. I'heodore A. Leggett "1 St.ueii Island, and Marion, wife
of William I. Walker of New York. His second daughter, Clara McFarland,
married Col. Alexander Phoenix Ketchum of this city and died in 1893.
Floyd, JOHN GBLSTON, a member of this Society, d. Nov. 27, 1903, in
New York City, aged sixty-two years. He was born May 10, 1841, at Utica,
N. Y., and was the son of Hon. John Gelston Floyd of .Mastic, Long Island,
who w;is a member of Congress from New York, the son of Nicoll Floyd and
the grandson of Gen. William Floyd of Brookhaven, L. I., signei <it the Dec-
laration of Independence and a Colonel in the war of the Revolution. The
latter was the fourth in descent (Nicoll, Richard, Richard) from Richard Floyd
who came from Wales about 1650 to Massachusetts and settled shortly after-
ward at Setauket, Suffolk Co., N. V. His mother was Sarah Backus Kirkland,
daughter of the Hon. Joseph Kirkland, Mayor of Utica and a great-great-
granddaughter of Gov. Bradford of the Mayflower.
In 1852 he removed with his father to the Floyd homestead at Mastic, L. I.
He was graduated from Rutgers College in 1859, and later from the Albany
Law School. During the Civil war he raised a company on Long Island and
enlisted as Second Lieutenant in the 145th N. V. Volunteers; was promoted to
to First Lieutenant and later transferred to the artillery. He took part in the
battles of Chancellorsville and Gettysburg and afterward was promoted to the
rank of Captain. After the conclusion of the war he began the practise of his
profession in New York City and for thirty years was also the publisher of the
Commercial and Financial Chronicle. He was deeply interested in the char-
itable work of Calvary parish, and in the East Side branch of the Young Men's
Christian Association where he worked for many years. He was a member of
the Down Town, Century and Delta Phi Clubs, the St. Nicholas, American
Geographical and New York Genealogical and Biographical Societies, and the
Sons of the Revolution.
John Gelston Floyd married in 1870, Julia F. Du Bois, who died in 1893.
She was the daughter of Cornelius Du Bois and Mary Ann Delafield, and was
the founder of the " Nursery and Child's Hospital'' of this city. He married
in 1898, Janet Tillotson Montgomery, daughter of the Rev. Dr. Henry Egling-
ton Montgomery, who was rector of the Church of the Incarnation in New
York City from 1855 until his death in 1874. He is survived by his widow and
three children: William Flovd of New York City, who married in 1898, Eliz-
abeth Schuchardt Wells, daughter of Lawrence Wells; Rosalie Delafield
Floyd, and Cornelia Du Bois Floyd.
Green, Andrew Hasweli., one of the most distinguished members of
the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, died Nov. 13, 1903, aged
eighty-three years. He was killed at his own doorway by a negro whose
unbalanced mind had conjured up a grievance against him. He was born
Oct. 6, 1820, in Worcester, Mass., and was the son of William Elijah Green by
his third wife, Julia Plvmpton. His father graduated from Brown University
in 1798, and was a lawyer by profession. His grandfather was Dr. John (ireen,
a physician, who married for his second wife, Mary, daughter of General Tim-
othy Ruggles of Sandwich, Mass., by his wife Bathsheba Bourne, the daughter
of Hon. Melatiah Bourne of Barnstable, Mass., by his wife, Desire Chipman,
the daughter of Elder fohn Chipman and Hope Howland, daughter of John
(lowland of the Mayflower, 1620. He was proud of his Pilgrim ancestry and
was a member of the Society of Mayflower Descendants in the State of New
York. He never married and at his decease was living with his nieces,
Lucy M. and Mary Ruggles Green, at ol Park Avenue, in New York City.
Mr. Green at the tune of his death was in the possession of all his faculties
and his strength was unabated. The news of his untimely end shocked the
whole city and called forth universal expression of grief. He came to New
York in 1835, studied law in the office of Samuel J. Tilden and afterward be-
68 Queries. [Jan.,
came his law-partner. Although actively engaged in the practice of his pro-
fession he took a deeper interest in civic affairs. With a singular devotion to
the city of his adoption he made it his real business to foster and defend its
welfare. There is hardly a passage in its history for the past fifty years
which is not associated with his name, and in the most important steps of its
progress he was the pioneer in the march of its advancement. By beginning
and carrying to a successful completion the effort for the consolidation of New
York and Brooklyn and the surrounding communities he won for himself the
splendid title of " The Father of Greater New York," and at the time of his
death he was acknowledged to be its foremost citizen. "It may truthfully be
said that to no one man who has labored in and for the city during the last
fifty years is the city under greater and more lasting obligations than to Andrew
H. Green. The city itself, in some of its most beautiful and most enduring
features, is the monument of his love; and the city may well cherish his hon-
ored name with the undying gratitude that is due to a citizen who has made it
both a greater and a better city than it was." — (Mayor Low in his message to
the Board of Aldermen.)
An adequate sketch of Mr. Green's useful and distinguished career will
appear in a subsequent number of the Record.
Lee, David Bradley, a member of this Society since Nov., 1888, died
Aug. 25, 1903, in New York City, aged sixty-nine years. He was born at
College Place, New York City, March 16, 1834, and was the son of David Lee,
a merchant and banker of New York City, who was born in Ridgefield, Conn., in
1787, and died in New York, Jan., 1853. He was the grandson of David Lee, of
Ridgefield, and Esther Banks, who was the son of William Lee of Ridgefield,
and Sarah Bates, and grandson of William Lee of Norwalk, Conn., and Mehit-
able Ruscoe. His mother was Anne Duryea Phillips, a great granddaughter
of Gov. Saltonstall and a descendant of Gov. Winthrop. She died abroad
in March, 1899, aged ninety-three years. He was one of the oldest living
members of the Union Club, having been elected a member of it when only
seventeen years old and for many years lived at the club house when it was
located at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Twenty-first Street.
He was married Aug., 25, 1895, at St. Martin's Church, London, to Agnes
Giles, youngest daughter of the late Major Giles, U. S. A. After his marriage
he lived abroad until the death of his mother, when he returned to New York.
Mr. Lee had a brother Eugene Thompson Lee, who died in childhood, and four
sisters : Anna Phillips, who never married and died in France in 1882 ; Blanche,
who married in New York City, Capt., Augustus Chas. Murray of the Royal
Navy, and is now living in Paris; Josephine, who married in Paris, Baron von
Waechter-Lautenbach, Minister Plenipotentiary of Wurtemberg at the Court
of the Tuilleries for twenty years: and Mary, who married, first, at Paris,
Prince Frederick of Schleswig-Holstein, brother of the Queen of Denmark and
grand uncle of the Empress of Germany. After Prince Frederick's death she
was created Princess of Noer by the Empress of Austria, and married Count
Alfred von Waldersee at Lautenbach, Germany, Field Marshall and General
Aid-de-Camp of the Kaiser. The Baroness von Waechter-Lautenbach. and the
Countess Von Waldersee came from Germany at the news of their brother's
illness and were present at his funeral. He left no children.

Flint. — Information wanted concerning Alexander Flint, horn at Albany,
N. V.j baptized Nov. 6, 1737, and his descendants. He is believed to have
lived at Canajohane, N. V., prior to the Revolution, and himself or some of his
sons to have removed to Cherry Valley, N. V., shortly thereafter. Robert (born
at Canajoharie, 1757), Jacob, Martin, and Abram (born probably at Cherry
Valley, 1771 ), are believed to have been among his sons. Was his father, Rob-
ert Flint, a descendant of the Flints of Salem, Mass., and vicinity, and if so,

Celinda Robertson of Coventry, Conn. rev. c. h. w. STOCKING,
Vincennes, Ind.
van Vlierden. — In 1788 my great-grandfather, Petrus van Vlierden, de-
parted from Holland to St. Croix, where he was named a curate.
He was accompanied by his second wife and children from this marriage.
From there Petrus van Vlierden went in 1793 to Catskill, N. Y., where he
was named a curate. His second wife, Maria Magdalena Houtkoper, daughter
of J. H. Houtkoper and E. Both, with whom he married at Amsterdam on the
27th Oct., 1784, died at Catskill the 13th Feb., 1799. Out of this marriage
issued seven children, dates and names of their birthplaces are unknown to nie.
Sept. 3, 1800, Petrus married at Catskill his third wife, named Jane Ketel-
tas, second daughter to the curate Abraham Keteltas. He died 13th Feb., 1821.
Five children from his second marriage were at that time still alive and
they corresponded with their stepbrother, Abraham Tzeeuwen van Vlierden,
sugar planter on St. Thomas (West Indies).
April 14th, 1827, Abraham Tzeeuwen wrote to his brother in Holland,
Matthys van Vlierden (grandfather of the undersigned I, that the five children
of the second marriage of their father were still all alive, married, had children
and lived on their own farms in the State of New York. The names of these
children were:
1. Johanna Augusta Catharina.
2. Ja
2. Jan Hendrik.
3. Catharina Hendrika.
4. Maria Magdalena.
5. Petrus.
(These children must have been born between 1784 and 1799.)
Nov. 3d, 1796, the above mentioned Abraham Tzeeuwess, who had
followed his father to the West Indies, married at St. Croix, Magdalena Rogiers,
daughter of Johannes Rogiers, sugar planter there, and Elisabeth Suhm.
From the eight children issued out of this marriage, the following were still
alive in 1827:
1. Elisabeth Suhm.b. at St. Croix, March 7, 1799.
2. Petrus, b. at St. Croix, July 27, 1803.
3. Warnerus Christiaan, b. at St. Thomas, Nov. 11,1810.
4. Maria Wilhelmina, b. at St. Thomas, March 5, 1814.
Since 182- we have heard nothing from these branches of our family.
Only I know that in 1887, there were no more Van Vlierdens living at the Dan-
ish Antilles. A family tradition says that they were all killed in a slave rev-
olution there.
As I am making a genealogy of the family van Vlierdens, I should like to
receive information, if there are still living descendants of Petrus van Vlierden
in the United States and if they are in the possession of papers concerning the
family, I beg them kindly to send information to the editor of the Record or
direct to the undersigneo.
Perhaps members of the " Holland Club" are able to give some informa-
tion.
Petrus was son of Jacob van Vlierden and Johanna Augusta Brandt. He

COLONEL C. PH. J. VAN VLIEKDEN,
Arnhem, (Holland).
Concerning the following queries I desire to procure information from any
readers of the Record who may be informed.
(i) GeorgeStanton is mentioned as having belonged to the Ulster Co. Mil-
itia and will probably be found in the early records of Kingston. Can anyone
identify him and tell whether this was George Stanton of New York City who
was brother of Henry and son of another Henry?
(2) Who was the wife of Christopher Sturgis of Stamford and Fairfield, Conn.?
(3) Can any reader tell anything about the origin of Gustav Martin Ruhl
who is mentioned in the Burhans collection of church records among deaths
given among members of the German Lutheran Church as their Deacon. This
record is as follows: "22 Aug., 1742, Gustav Martin Ruhl, — Our Deacon, hon-
orable & Beloved of all upright people."
Under marriages in the same record I find: 1737, April 12. Married at
Hackingsack, Gustav Martin Ruhl y. m. Maria Margaretha Bimper, both of
New York. His wife's name is spelled "Bemper" in other places in the Dutch
records. I am inclined to think Ruhl was a Palatine German.
(4) Can any reader tell anything about the family of Abner Hunt of West-
chester, N. Y.? He was probably a Friend. His daughter, Martha, married
Isaac Carpenter of Harrison in 175 1. Abner was then spoken of as deceased
and as of Westchester. The marriage of Martha and Isaac Carpenter had
been brought before the meetings of the Society of Friends for Harrison's
Purchase and Mamaroneck and some information ought to be contained in
these records which are very inaccessible to average students of genealogy.
(5) Have any of the readers of the Record any notes concerning the Smith
family of Stamford and that vicinity? Humphrey Denton is said to have mar-
ried Abigail Smith, though she is elsewhere spoken of as Abigail Mead.
(6) Thomas June of Stamford, Conn., married Feb. 17, 1714, Sarah Smith.
Can anyone tell her parentage and ancestry?
(7) The first of the Lounsbury line of Connecticut, Richard Lounsbury is
said to have married Elizabeth DuBois. Can anyone confirm this and give
her parentage? It is supposed she belonged to the DuBois family of the Hud-
son River valley.
(8) Can anyone tell the ancestry of Maria Warner who married Henry Stan-
ton (see Dutch records), Oct. 7, 1732?
(9) Who was Hannah, wife of Thos. Carman, probably second generation of
the Carman family. Was the wife of his father, John Carman, Florence Ford-
ham?
(10) I would like information concerning the very early branches of the fol-
lowing families: Valentine, Foster, Powell, Alsop, Thornicraft, of Long Island,
and Denton of Long Island and Greenwich, Conn.; Clay, Smith, Potter, Sturgis
and Lyon of Connecticut (mostly of Greenwich, Stamford, etc., but some of
them possibly of Rye, N. Y.t, and Alsop of New York and Long Island, and
Potts of Newtown, L. I., but stated in Shotwell's Annals to be of Honey Neck,
Conn, (this last place I have never been able to find). I would also like to
know whether any of the readers of the Record can tell anything about the
family of Daniel Dunbar of New York at about 1750 to 1801? He was a prom-
inent merchant there and married Naomi Shotwell, at that time widow of
Israel Hallett of Newtown, L. I.
For the most part the information wanted is to ascertain something
about the parentage of the wives of the earliest generations of these families,
but in some cases so little has been written about these families, or they are
cases where it is desirable to differentiate the individuals from others of like
names, that any information would be welcome about these matters from those
who may have notes. This is particularly true in the case of the Alsop family
about which very little information has apparently been given to the public
who might be interested.
I will be glad to freely exchange information with those interested.

Genealogy of a Part of the Thikd Branch of the Schermer-
HORN Family in the UNITED STATES. Compiled by Louis Y. Schermer-
horn, C. E. Printed for private circulation. J. 15. Lippincott Company, Phila-
delphia, 1003. Quarto, cloth, pp. ig.
In a letter to the Society accompanying a presentation copy of this inter-
esting little book, Mr. Schermerhorn, the compiler, says: " In the compilation
of this booklet I have confined the published material to my direct line onimit-
ting collateral families, but in its collection 1 have secured a large amount of
material relating to these collateral branches. If there are any members of the
family who are interested in this subject I will be glad to place the information,
without charge, at their disposal."
We have no doubt that this generous offer will be gladly taken advantage
of, but we sincerely hope that he will himself utilize the material in the publi-
cation of a more extended record of this important family, which the work be-
fore us shows that he is thoroughly capable of doing. The book is beautifully
printed and bound and contains as a frontispiece, the Schermerhorn coat-ot-
arms, in colors. Mr. Schermerhorn"s address is 510 Mariner and Merchant
Building, corner Third and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia, Pa.
GENEALOGY of the Claflin Family; being a record of Robert Mack-
clothlan of Wenham, Mass., and of his descendants, 1661-1898. By Charles
Henry Wight, member of the The Long Island Historical Society. 8vo, cloth,
pp. 473. New York, 1903.
This is a well arranged record of a prominent family, and shows the care-
ful work of a genealogist who evidently believes that long eulogistic biogra-
phies and family legends are not essential to a good genealogy, but still hopes
that his "work will stimulate a love for the ties of kindred and for the mem-
ory of worthy ancestors." The book contains records of nearly 4,000 persons,
besides a number of " unconnected Claflins," and an appendix of families con-
nected by marriage. The work is beautifully printed and bound and has a
good index. Copies can be obtained of theauthor, 128 Broadway, N. Y. City.
Genealogical Sketch of the Lamb Family. By Fred. W. Lamb
Manchester, N. H. The John B. Clarke Co. 1903. 8vo, pamphlet, 7 pp.
This sketch is arranged from the book of genealogical records compiled
by the late Rev. Joseph A. Lamb of Old Mystic, Conn., who died April 3, 1893,
and copied by his daughter, Miss Lucie A. Lamb, with extensive additions and
corrections by Frank B. Lamb and Fred. W. Lamb. It treats of the descend-
ants of Isaac Lamb of New London, Conn., who settled there about 1695 or
1606.
New Harlem Past and Present. The story of an amazing civic
wrong, now at last to be righted. By Carl Horton Pierce. With a review of
the principles of law involved in the recovery of the Harlem lands. By Wil-
liam Pennington Toler and Harmon De Pau Nutting, members of the New
York Bar. Profusely Illustrated. New York. The New Harlem Publishing
Co., 26 East 23d St. 1003. 8vo, cloth, pp. xiv+332 and two maps.
It is not the province of this review to enter into or discuss the merits or
demerits of the controversy which the authors of this work are attempting to
revive ; merely to set forth the contents of the book with a clear statement of
its aims and objects. We all know that such a place as Harlem once existed,
for we are familiar with its history by Mr. Riker, published in 1881, and it is
easily in the memory of even that generation of New Yorkers now in the
thirties when the Manhattan Elevated trains passed over an unsettled tract in
the region of 110th Street and came into another "settlement," as it were, at
125th.
Draw a line across a map of Manhattan Island from 74th street and the
East River to 129th and the Hudson, and all of the Island lyinir above that
line, even as far as Spuyten Duyvil, constituted the territory of New Harlem,
according to this book. The authors claim that this land, together with the
meadows lying immediately opposite in the Borough of the Bronx, was granted
"J 2 Book Notices. [Jan.,
to the town of New Harlem by a Patent issued by Gov. Nicolls in 1666, ratified
by another Patent issued by the same Governor in 1667, and confirmed by a
third Patent issued by Gov. Dongan in 1686, in which were named 23 Paten-
tees. The authors of this work contend that the land so granted belongs to
the heirs of these patentees, except suc/i of it as has been already legally con-
veyed or otherwise alienated. This of course includes most of the tract, for
the records will show these transfers. The land really in question is three
parcels, one at 106th Street and Fifth Avenue, one at 204th St. and the Hud-
son, (both of which it is claimed were never divided), and a third parcel which
is the land exposed at low tide along the shore of the Island from 74th St.
and the East River around to 129th St. and the Hudson. The authors state
that to reclaim this land it is necessary to prove : — that the town of New Har-
lem existed and still exists ; that the heirs of the original patentees and their
associates constitute the members of the corporation to-day ; that the Statute of
Limitations has no bearing on the case; and three other points in extensis.
The book is practically divided in two equal parts. The first gives a clear,
concise and extremely interesting account of the settlement, early growth of
the town and manners and customs of the inhabitants ; the second discusses
minutely the legal phases of the case and the points necessary to be proved.
Of the first we promptly commend its style and interest ; of the second we are
not competent to judge, but will leave it to the individual reader and the
Courts.
The Litchfield Family in America. Part I, Nos. 2 and 3. By
Milford Jacob Litchfield, M. D., of Southbridge, Mass. 1903. 8vo, paper, pp.
161-240.
Numbers 2 and 3 of this genealogy are handsome and interesting pamphlets,
well illustrated with views and maps, as well as facsimile signatures, and are
carefully referenced. The compiler hopes to issue the next number in 1904, if
the subscription list warrants the expense.
-J? Life in a New England Town, 1787, 1788. Diary of John Quincy
Adams while a student in the office of Theophilus Parsons at Newburyport.
Edited by C. F. Adams. Boston. Little, Brown & Co. I903. 8vo, cloth, pp.
204.
The diary which is here presented is in the original contained in two small
octavo volumes, bound in calf, bought in Paris and entitled " Ephemeris." It
is a dignified, leisurely record of a young man's impressions of society, politics,
and other affairs, written with a maturity and sobriety of style remarkable in a
man of his age. There are copious footnotes explanatory of the names men-
tioned in the text, which are very valuable from a genealogist's standpoint, as
well as of interest to the general reader. The book has a tine frontispiece por-
trait of Mr. Adams as he appeared in 1796, with a facsimile signature. There
is a good index.
The Lundy Family and Their Descendants, of Whatsoever Sur-
name. With a Biographical Sketch of Benjamim Lundy. By William
Clinton Armstrong. New Brunswick, N. J. J. Heidingsfeld. 1902. 8vo,
cloth, pp. 485.
This work and the Lundy family too begin with three of the name, ot three
successive generations, Sylvester Lundy of Axminster, Eng., the father, Rich-
ard Lundy, Quaker and emigrant to Bucks Co., Penna., in 1676, the son, and
Richard Lundy, of Warren Co., N. J., the grandson. From the last, who was
also an elder in the Religious Society of Friends, sprang a numerous progeny
which this book traces. The principal associated families are : — Adams, Arm-
strong, Bunting, Dennis, Eyestone, Gibbs, Kester, Laing, Large, Lenher,
Lewis, Parker, Patterson, Schumck, Schooley, Silverthorn, Shotwell, Stockton,
Willetts, Willson, Widdifield and Webster. The memoir of Benjamin Lundy,
Philanthropist and Founder of American Abolition, is an able and interesting
paper read before the Rutgers College Historical Club in 1897 by Wm. Clinton
Armstrong, the author of this work and also of " A Genealogical Record of the
Descendants of Nathan Armstrong," published in 1895.

Native Soil in Holland, 1638 1902. By Nelson liurton Lent, of New
burgh, N. V. Newburgh Journ.il Printing House and Bookbindery. 1903.
Sq. octavo, pp. 171.
This is the first Lent Family history ever printed, and concerns the de-
scendants of Abraham de Ryck whose sons, for some reason not clearly
ascertained, assumed the name of Lent, or van Lent. The family is emphatic-
ally a New York Stale one, hence the hook is of especial value to those seeking
Westchester County, Orange County, and Long Island records. There is an
excellent index.
WILLIAM BOWNE OF Yorkshire, Kng., and His Desi BNDANTS. By
Miller K. Reading, M.I). Remington, N.J. Press ol II. E. Heats. 1903.
Sq. octavo, pp. 47.
When he began this genealogy, the compiler intended only to trace the
descendants of William Bowne of the Revolutionary War, hut many other facts
of interest concerning the family having come into his possession, he has in-
cluded them in this interesting little volume. The authorities for his state-
ments are given in footnotes, and there is a good double index, one part for
names of individuals and the other for names of places.
White Family 0_uartekly. An illustrated Genealogical Magazine de-
voted to the interests of the descendants of John White of Wenham and Lan-
caster, Mass. Almira Lurkin White, Editor, Haverhill, Mass. One dollar per
year, single copies, 25 cents.
These are the third and fourth numbers of this magazine, which contains
matter interesting to the White family, who are fortunate in having a family
genealogist so untiring in their mutual interests.
Thomas Hord, Gentleman, Horn in England, 1 701, Died in Vir-
ginia, 1766. A supplement to the Genealogy of the Hord Family. By the
Rev. Arnold Harris Hord, Rector of St. Michael's Church, Germantown, Phila.
11)03. Imperial octavo, canvas cloth, pp. 30.
This beautiful little book, with its quaint typography, or rather composi-
tion, is full of romantic interest even to those in nowise connected, either hy
blood or marriage, to the family of Hord. It gives incidents in the life of, and
copies of legal transactions entered into by Thomas Hord, who came from
England to America between the years 1701 and 1720, and was descended of
an ancient race of gentry in England, which had for centuries held a dis-
tinguished rank, but is believed now to be entirely extinct in the mother
country.
The Nicholas White Family. 1643 — 1900. Compiled by Thomas J.
Lothrop. Taunton, Mass. 1902. 8vo, cloth, pp. 493.
In 1898 the descendants of Nicholas White gathered at Taunton, for
a family reunion, and amongst the officers elected was Mr. Thomas J. Lothrop,
who was selected as best qualified to serve as the family historian. At this,
the first of several annual meetings, it was unanimously voted to publish a
genealogy of the family, and the historian soon found the mantle of such re-
sponsibility placed upon his shoulders, where it has rested gracefully indeed.
Nicholas White, pioneer, was of Dorchester, Mass., of whom the author has no
information regarding birth and ancestry, but has no doubt he was of the
English Yeomanry. He married at Dorchester, where he was a freeman in
1643, Susanna, daughter of Jonas and Frances Humphrey. Of their descend-
ants this book gives seven generations notated genealogically according to the
" Record and Register Plan," and fully indexed. The work is one that pleases
our fancy greatly, for it is admirably printed, carefully compiled and excel-
lently arranged, and is specially commendable for the lack of portraits of
" bewhiskered " individuals who appear as ancestors in many of our family
histories but certainly had earlier periods in their lives when their features
must have been better to look upon.

A Documentary History of the Dutch Congregation of Oyster

Stoutenburgh. New York. The Knickerbocker Press. 1903. 8vo, pamphlets,
pp. 125-209, 209-291.
These valuable numbers carry the names of the Dutch congregation and
others added by the compiler during his Dutch researches, from Abbott to
Ludlum. The names are alphabetically arranged, and much quaint and cur-
ious information is given.
Thirtieth Report of the Record Commissioners. A Volume of
Records relating to the early History of Boston, containing Boston marriages
from 1752 to 1809.
Massachusetts is still in the lead in the matter of preserving in print her
early records ; but we are hoping the " Empire State" will soon vie with her
for the honor. This, the 30th volume of its kind contains : — Intentions of
marriage, 1752-1761 ; marriages, 1762-1773 ; marriages, 1751-1809 ; out of town
marriages and index.
The Messages and Proclamations of the Governors of Iowa.
Compiled and edited by Benjamin F. Shambaugh, Professor of Political
Science in the University of Iowa. Volume IV. Published by the State His-
torical Society of Iowa. Iowa City, Iowa. 1903. 8vo, cloth, pp. ix+382.
The present volume of these " Messages " includes those of Governors
Cyrus Clay Carpenter (1872-1876), Samuel Jordan Kirkwood (third term,
1876-77), and Joshua Giddings Newbold (1877-1878). The messages and pro-
clamations of Gov. Kirkwood during his first and second terms were published
in Vol. II of this series. Preceding the official documents of each Governor is
a biographical sketch of his life.
Babcock Genealogy. Compiled by Stephen Babcock, M.A. New
York. Eaton & Mains. 1903. 8vo, cloth, pp. 640. Bound under same cover,
Isaiah Babcock, Sr., and His Descendants. A. Emerson Babcock of Roches-
ter, N. Y. pp.119. Separate index.
This is a model genealogy. Well bound, well printed, with a clear and
simple arrangement of vital records, and with nearly one hundred illustrations, it
is a book one likes to handle. There are other points of excellence. With
few ezceptions the places of birth, marriage and death are given with each
name, and where reference is made to printed records, the authority is given.
Comparatively few of the records were ever before printed. The index is very
fine, covers 88 pages and contains 18,365 names, in which the women of the
family are indicated under both maiden and married names. The coat of-
arms and family origin were prepared by Rev. Charles H. Babcock, D. D., for
ears Rector of Grace Church, Providence, R. I. Fifty years ago the compiler,
<\x. Stephen Babcock, entered the N. Y. School for the Blind, as a pupil, and
has been principal teacher there since 1857.
The second part of the book is also well arranged and has the advantage
of a separate index. It contains the history of one branch of the family, com-
piled by Mr. A. Emerson Babcock.
The Greenes of Rhode Island, with Historical Records of
English Ancestry, 1534-1903. Compiled from the Mss. of the late Major-
General George Sears Greene, U. S. V., by Louisa Brownell Clarke. New
York, 1903. The Knickerbocker Press. Royal octavo, buckram, pp. xxviii-f 892.
To open such a book as this is to be appalled at the volume of work it re-
presents — the years required to gather the data, the hours, days and months of
labor necessary to put that data into shape for publication. In size and method
of handling, the " Greene? of Rhode Island " resembles the Lockwood Geneal-
ogy, but being of later compilation is superior to it. General Greene occupied
much of the latter half ot his long and busy life in researches among the records
of his ancestors and at the time of his death in 1899, being then in his ninety-
eighth year, left behind a mass of records and data which he had gathered and
I
»9°4-l Book Notices. 75
had intended to publish during his lifetime. So much of his time was occupied
in answering inquiries regarding these ancestors that the work was never com-
pleted, and he died, leaving a request that his children would take it up and
push the work to completion. Upon his two sons, Gearge Sears Greene, Jr.,
and General Francis Vinton Greene, devolved the duty and they placed the
original data in the hands of Mrs. Clarke, who, after three years of constant
and painstaking labor, has produced the finished volume, a monument to the
memory of a busy and honored father, a symbol of sacred duty on the part ol
reverential sons.
The work opens with a complete memoir of the life and services of Gen-
eral George S. Greene by His sou, Francis Vinton Greene, embellished with
various portraits ; then follows the genealogy of the family, arranged as only a
competent genealogist knows how to do. The Greenes of Rhode Island go
back to three distinct progenitors, all of whom bore the Christian name of
John. The present volume embraces only the the descendants of John
Greene, a surgeon, who emigrated from Salisbury, England, and settled in
Warwick, Rhode Island, as early as 1637 and was the father of Major John
Greene, Deputy Governor of the Colony of Rhode Island, His descendants
are trace. 1 to the tenth generation, the personal numbers running as high as
4876. Female lines are extended lor two generations ami authorities freely
cited. Heside the body of the work there are interesting chapters on the fol-
lowing: — The House of Greene by Robert Halstead, London, 1685; the
Greenes of Northamptonshire; Draton, Northamptonshire; Boughton, North-
amptonshire ; Greene's Norton, Northamptonshire ; Pedigree of Greene's
Norton ; Gillingham, Dorsetshire ; Bowridge Hill in the Parish of Gillingham ;
The Greene's of 1 Dorsetshire ; Settlement of Warwick. K. 1., and the Greene's
of Warwick, R. I. The volume closes with a chapter on the Family Arms,
another giving the latest researches in England, and appendices of Wills and
Deeds and notes and correspondence. The whole work is admirably printed,
carefully compiled and fully indexed ; and we fully agree with Mrs. Clarke,
who says in her preface that " the labor of compilation from another's notes
requires unusual patience, exactness and perseverance, and becomes the more
difficult when consultation is no longer possible." We, who understand these
things and fully appreciate the magnitude of such a work, desire here to pay a
tribute to the memory of our honored member and one-time President, to the
sentiment of duty which actuated his distinguished sons in producing this vol-
ume, and finally to the services and capable labor of the compiler, who has
added the finishing touches to a truly noble genealogical work.
The History of the Parshall Family from the Conquest of
England by William of Normandy, A. D., 1066, to the close of the
tqTH CENTURY, By James Clark Parshall, Esq. Syracuse. Press of Crist,
Scott & Parshall, Cooperstown. I003. Quarto, half leather, pp. 280-f-xxi.
This handsome volume deals with the English origin and the American
descent of the Parshall family of Southold, Suffolk Co., N. Y., whose first
American ancestor was James Parshall who married Elizabeth, only daughter
of David and Mary (Lerringman) Gardiner of East Hampton. The work is
arranged in families, each having a number in Roman numerals. To facilitate
search, each progenitor has the number of the family which he founded placed
after his name in his birth record. The book has good references in footnotes,
quoting not only printed and other recorded authorities, but giving personal
statements of individuals, a very worthy feature. This compilation was a labor
of love, and shows it. There is a good index.
Pioneer Period and Pioneer People of Fairfield County, Ohio-
By C. M. L. Wiseman. Small 8vo, cloth, 429 pp. 1001. J. B. Heer Printing
Co., Columbus, O.
In this modest volume the writer has sketched the pioneer period of Fair-
field Co., Ohio, and given the record of the pioneer families. A romance, a
history and genealogy all in one. The author has the rare gift of making
genealogical records interesting and the careful preparation and arrangement
of his work leaves no room to doubt its accuracy.

A Genealogy of the Curtiss Family, being a Record of the De-
scendants of Widow Elizabeth Curtiss, who settled in Stratford, Conn., 1639-
40. By Frederic Haines Curtiss. Boston. Rockwell & Churchill Press. 1903.
Quarto, buckram, pp. 252.
This name has long been regarded by those who bear it, as distinct from
Curtis, and not a mere variation of spelling. In presenting the genealogy, the
compiler has carefully considered the family claim to a coat-of-arms, borne by
an American descendant, and seems to find good reason for its existence.
There are two quaint maps of English counties, and other interesting features.
The book is very attractive and has 33 pages of index which is always a valu-
able point.

ANDREW HASWELL GREEN.
By Richard Henry Greene, A.M., LL. H.
Few men of themselves alone, without the accessories of posi-
tion and favoring environment, have made a name as did Andrew
Haswell (Ireen. History records the achievements of men born
to the purple, or floated to the top in the storms of armed con-
flict, but few have soared into prominence amid the quiet of
business and in the prosaic times of peace. The pomp and
pageantry of glorious war has ever bedizened the career of men
of martial success such as Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, Peter
the Great, Frederick and Napoleon, almost excluding from the
first rank of greatness those who have striven in other activities.
But slowly and surely the brutal standards of antiquity and of
mediaeval times are giving way before the progress of Christian
altruism, making room for the men of peace to take their place
among the foremost.
We have labored to discover a just parallel between the sub-
ject of this paper and any among the great citizens of the past.
We cannot draw a parallel between him and Themistocles, for
while the latter could truthfully boast: "I know how to raise a
small and inconsiderable city to glory and greatness," yet he was
driven from Athens as a selfish trickster. Neither can we com-
pare him to Aristides, with whom, according to Plutarch, " Virtue
was the only object he had in view in the whole course of his
administration," and who, although he had been the commanding
general and chief magistrate of the Athenians, did not leave
enough to meet the expense of his funeral. For, while he was
inflexibly just and incapable of falsehood, flattery and self-ambi-
tion, his reputation was largely due to his military achievements.
He was too good for his age. Nor can we compare him with
Pelopidas, eulogized by Euripides as "he who dies in virtue's
arms," and who brought his native city to the height of greatness;
for he was born to wealth, was the friend of Bpaminodas, and was
great in war as well as peace. All of these might have been
unknown to fame had it not been for their wars and victories.
Coming down to the modern era (the 14th century), Cosimo de

Medici, the Florentine merchant who adorned his native city;
and his grandson Lorenzo, who raised Florence to opulence and
prominence in Italy, give us examples more in the sphere of the
person we are considering; but their public benefactions and
services came after mercantile successes had made them rich and
had supplied them with the means for their undertakings.
Andrew Haswell Green was born October 6, 1820, at Worces-
ter, Mass., and was educated at the Academy in that place. In
this quiet New England village, a community of thrift, integrity
and literary culture, but without wealth, power or prominence,
he began life, at a time when this country was entering upon a
new period. The second war with England had been favorably
terminated and an era of good feeling inaugurated with the elec-
tion of Monroe that year to the presidency without opposition.
The war had ended the Federal party which opposed it and had
introduced a protective tariff (as a Southern measure), which
proved a boon to the country. The strife of war and politics had
given away to business enterprise and commercial prosperity.
Yet the few states which composed the union were poor and weak,
and the centre of population of the United States was only a
little more than one hundred miles west of Annapolis ; while the
great struggle of our history began that very year, with the ad-
mission of Missouri on the compromise that thereafter no slave
state should be admitted north of 36° 30'. Enough has been
said to show that the time in which Mr. Green came upon the
stage, while not a period of excitement when the passions of
men are awakened and they are forced into the whirl of affairs,
was yet as the lull before the storm ! The nation was being pre-
pared for the convulsion which was to come.
Men are made not only by their age and environment, but by
heredity, education and descent. All may not accept this, yet
most men do not expect to gather grapes of thorns or figs of
thistles. They believe in the general rule, " like father, like
son," and fear lest the sins of the fathers be visited upon the
children. The founders of New England, both Pilgrim and Puri-
tan, came from the old home seeking liberty to worship God.
From both of these Mr. Green traced his descent; the Tilleysand
John Howland came on the Mayflower in 1620, while his paternal
line was from Thomas Green, who was born in Leicester, Eng-
land, about 1606, and landed in Massachusetts Bay some fifteen
years after the settlement at Plymouth.
The name Green (at first Greene in nearly every case), was
common in New England in the early half of the seventeenth
century. These families were not related so far as known, but
this is not impossible. There were three distinct families in
Maiden, where Thomas, the ancestor of Mr. Green, settled ;
another Thomas died there in 1674, and James who was made free-
man in- 1647, all of whom left descendants. There were other
English settlers of the name, to wit : John of Charlcstown; Per-
cival of Cambridge; William of Plymouth; Thomas of Roxbury;
John of Salem, and William of Woburn, in Massachusetts. Just
over the line in the neighboring state of Rhode Island were John
igo4.] Andrew Harwell Green. 7q
of Kingston; John of Newport, and surgeon John of Warwi< k
Twelve emigrant ancestors of as many families of this name, in
the 17th century in Now England.
Thomas, the first ancestor of the family under consideration,
settled in that part of Maiden, now Melrose, and by his wife
Elizabeth had ten children.
Thomas, Jr., eldest son and second child, married Rebecca
Hills, and had two sons and three daughters.
Samuel, the youngest, styled "Captain,'' married Elizabeth
Upham by whom he had eight children. They removed to
Leicester. That part of Maiden where he lived was thereafter
called Greenville in his honor.
Rev. Thomas, both physician and minister of the Baptist
church, married Martha Lynde and had seven children.
Dr. John studied medicine with his father and practised in
Worcester. He was a member of the Committee of Safety and
a representative in the Provincial Assembly, by virtue of which
services his grandson, Mr. Green, was admitted into the Sons of
the American Revolution. He had three children by the first
and ten by the second wife, who was Mary, daughter of Brig.
Gen. Timothy Ruggles, of Sandwich, Mass.
William Elijah, the sixth generation from the emigrant, was
born at Worcester in the present residence of the family called
"Green Hill," which had been purchased by his father. He
graduated at Brown University, studied law and practiced at
Worcester. He was married four times and had eleven children,
nine by the third wife and one by each of the two earlier mar-
riages. The subject of this paper was the seventh child and
second son. His mother was Jane Plympton, daughter of Oliver
Plympton, who was only seventeen when the struggle with the
mother country began; but as a private in the militia he answered
his country's call.
Mary Ruggles, mentioned above as the wife of Dr. John
Green, was the daughter of Timothy Ruggles, born October 20,
171 1, and graduated at Harvard in 17^2; was Judge and Chut
iudge of Common Pleas, Colonel and Brigadier-General in the
'rench and Indian War, and Representative in the General
Court of Massachusetts for twenty-four years, and was twice
the Speaker. He was also a delegate to the Stamp Act
Congress and was made its president, but refused to concur in
its measures, and when the King's troops left Boston he accom-
panied them, going to Nova Scotia where he died in 171)5. Here
is the record of the busy life of a prominent man. We may not
judge him for his loyalty to the Crown since he had been trained
to it for a period of more than sixty years. His father, likewise
named Timothy, was a Harvard man of 1707 and a minister of
the gospel. His grandfather. Captain Samuel Rr Jr.,
(1658-1710) married Martha, daughter of Rev. John Woodbridge
and grand-daughter of Gov. Thomas Dudley, of Massachusetts.
His great-grandfather, Samuel Ruggles, who was also a captain
in the militia and a representative in the General Court, was the
son of Thomas Ruggles, the emigrant from Nazing, England, in
80 Andrew Haswell Green. [Aprii,
1637 to Roxbury, Mass., where the church record says, speaking
of him and his brother : " They were children of a godly father."
No one need blush for any name in this noble line of seven gen-
erations reaching back to the mother country.
Notwithstanding the dignity of the foregoing Puritan lines,
Mr. Green was more proud of his descent from the Mayflower
Pilgrims; — John Tilley and his wife, both of whom died the first
winter, leaving Elizabeth, the daughter who accompanied them,
and later married John Howland, confidential man of Carver the
first Governor, who became one of the leaders of the Colony
both in goverment and business enterprise. Hope Howland,
their daughter, married John Chipman, long ruling elder at
Barnstable and representative for many years. Desire Chipman,
their daughter, married Melatiah Bourne of Sandwich, son of
Shearjashub and grandson of Richard Bourne, who was ordained
by Eliot to instruct the Indians at Mashpee. Bathsheba, their
daughter, married Gen. Timothy Ruggles, before mentioned.
Thus at the risk of trying the patience of those who are satis-
fied with the present we have traced the blood which warmed
the life of our friend through several lines, and have found in
each men of courage, heart and intellect. What they were in
their day he became in his. Doing the duty nearest at hand is
the key to a useful life, but working out plans for man's better-
ment is the road to fame. Andrew H. Green was a leader, plan-
ning, constructing, improving; not satisfied to go in old ruts, but
essaying greater and nobler results and better activities. Such
an one may be brushed aside by many in their mad rush for gain,
but those who knew him trusted and followed him. Mr. Green
was such a man as Benjamin Franklin praised "who did some-
thing worth writing about, and wrote that which was worth read-
ing." Boswell, the greatest of biographers, hints somewhere
that the true biography tells the talk, the written words and little
things of the daily life. Mr. Green's words were plain, earnest,
instructive. Here is an extract from his address, October 6,
1898, when he was presented with the medal struck in his honor
as the father of Greater New York : —
" Our national history shows that unification is an American
principle, and that movements in this direction never go back-
ward. As years have gone by the gradual adjustment of the
constitutional relation of the States has served only to strengthen
the permanency of their union, and the same may be confidently
predicted of our united city. With the lapse of time, as the
relations of these constituent communities come to be better
understood, and in the light of experience the laws governing it
become properly modified and adjusted, our municipal coherence
will grow in strength and in the assurance of advantage to the
interests of all. In the realization of these beneficent results,
which must inevitably ensue from a wise and honest adminis-
tration of the people's affairs, will appear the amplest justifica-
tion of the step which we have lately taken."
These earnest, forceful and truthful words fitly introduce
what we wish to say concerning the part which Mr. Green took
1904.] Andrew Haswell Green. S 1
in the accomplishment of the unification of the cities and settle-
ments surrounding the port of New York. We remember as a
boy, that when Brooklyn and Williamsburg were united into one
municipality, there was talk that these and New Yoik would
some day consolidate. But this was not taken seriously by any
large percentage of people on either side of the East River.
Cyrus P. Smith, who had been mayor of Brooklyn many years
before, and was then in the State Senate, proposed it in that
body, but it was defeated, as a similar proposition had been
in 185 1. The Metropolitan police bill in 1S59 established a dis-
trict including both cities and Richmond County, and this was
followed by similar acts for other departments, but they lasted
only for a dozen years. It took a courageous man to lay the
matter before the Park commissioners in 1868 as Mr. Green did.
In that communication he showed that he knew what he was
planning and meant to accomplish it, as he did many years after,
and so won for himself the splendid title, accorded to him by all,
" The Father of Greater New York."
The writer, out of his own experience as an executive mem-
ber of another party, can testify to the non-partisan spirit with
which Mr. Green performed his duties in connection with the
parks and public improvements. Not only unpartisan in politics
he was liberal to all creeds and every nationality. Witness his
words when the tablet was placed on the old Hebrew cemetery :
"The debt which this government has never paid in dollars, let
us freely acknowledge in words of gratitude, and yield our tribute
of appreciation to those loyal and generous men of the Hebrew
faith who helped our forefathers win the liberties which the
people of every faith and from every clime now enjoy under the
Hag of our country. * * * I venture to express the hope that
this tablet, which our two societies are about to erect to mark
the place where people of the Hebrew faith were first laid to
rest on American soil, will serve as a token of the hospitality,
freedom and toleration with which the United States should
entertain people of all nations and beliefs — a reminder of our
duty as Americans to our fellow citizens, and a bond to draw us
all together more closely in the kindly relation of friendly
mutual regard."
Is it wonderful that this man, having gone into the office of
that great leader of men, Samuel J. Tilden, so gained the confi-
dence of the latter that he was chosen trustee of that man's pos-
sessions when he came to die? Nor was this the only instance of
such selection. William B. Ogden, the railroad king of Chicago,
did the same. These marks of confidence by such men show
how strong was the faith men placed in Mr. Green's integrity.
We might recite, as others are doing, the catalogue of the
offices which he held, as Commissioner and President of the
Board of Education; Commissioner, Treasurer, President and
Comptroller of Parks; Deputy and Controller of the City, when
he saved its credit and reorganized its finances after the whole-
sale plunder of the Tweed ring; Commissioner to revise the
State tax laws; Commissioner for the New York and New Jersey

Bridge, and Member of the Charter Commission for Greater
New York. He was not in office for pay or power. Riverside
Park and the drive testify to his taste and creativeness; so also
do the Museum of Art and the Museum of Natural History, the
Zoological garden and Washington bridge which adorn this city,
and, at Niagara, the park and reservation of which commission
he was the president.
Like DeWitt Clinton, who united the great lakes with the
ocean and who resembled him in his public spirit, Mr. Green was
identified with all the literary and educational enterprises of his
time. He was connected as member or officer with the American
Antiquarian Society, the New York Historical Society, the New
York Geographical Society, the New York Genealogical and Bio-
graphical Society, the New York Zoological Society, the New
York Agricultural Society, the American Museum of Natural
History, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Public
Library, the New York Academy of Science, the State Bar Asso-
ciation, the New York Juvenile Asylum, the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children, the American Jewish Historical
Society, and many others. We have mentioned in another place
his membership in the Society of Mayflower Descendents in
New York and have alluded above to his membership in the Sons
of the American Revolution.
On Friday the 19th of November, 1903, before his own door
at 91 Park Avenue in the City of New York, without warning,
without cause, a madman robbed his family, his friends, the city,
of this noble citizen.
As evidence of his active participation in public affairs and
the unintermitting calls upon his time and strength in further-
ing such matters, at the very time when the wires were vibrat-
ing with the story of his assassination, upon our desk lay two
invitations, one signed by him as President of the American
Scenic and Historic Preservation Society, the other an invitation
to the unveiling of a tablet at which he was to be the principal
speaker.
No truer or better words have been uttered in tribute to his
memory than those of New York's noble mayor, who shared with
him the blood of the Tillcys, Howlands and Chipmans, in
his message to the Board of Aldermen announcing the death of
Mr. Green : — " It may truthfully be said that to no one man who
has labored in and for the city during the last fifty years is the
city under greater and more lasting obligations than to Andrew
H. Green. The city itself, in some of its most beautiful and
most enduring features, is the monument of his love; and the
city may well cherish his honored name with the undying grati-
tude that is due to a citizen who has made it both a greater and
a better city than it was."
Andrew H. Green was a man of the highest type, and his hold
upon life in all its phases was certainly remarkable. At the time
of his death, although an octogenarian, he was in the full posses-
sion of his faculties and his natural strength was unabated. He
was a forceful speaker and writer, an able counsellor, an incor-

ruptiblc administrator, a singularly public spirited citizen— de-
voted with a passionate ardor to the interests of the city of his
adoption, and a man of rare symmetry of character, simple,
humane, reverent, just and generous to all. Although stern and
uncompromising in the pursuit of his objects, his single-minded
devotion to the public welfare and his perfect candor made even
the enemies of his measures forgive his attitude toward them.
Beloved and honored he was taken suddenly from our midst, but
his work remains and his name will be held in lasting remem-
brance :

A BRANCH OF THE VAN BRUNT FAMILY IX MON-
MOUTH COUNTY, NEW JERSEY.
By George C. Beekman.
(Continued from Vol. XXXV.. p. 37 of The Record.)
Eleanor Schenck widow of Major Hcndrick Van Brunt makes
her will November 19, 1799. It is recorded in Book A. of Wills,
page 658, etc., Monmouth County Surrogate's Office. It was
proved February 24, 1814, she describes herself as the widow of
Hcndrick Van Brunt, deceased. The witnesses swear that she
was the widow of Hendrick Van Brunt and afterwards wife of
Sheriff David Forman. She had no children by either husband.
She leaves her property equally to her two brothers, John and
Garret Schenck, and her five sisters Anne Berry, Sarah Wikoff,
Mary Polhemus, Jane Denise and Catharine Denise.
Her brother John Schenck of Freehold Township and her
brother-in-law Auke Wikoff of Shrewsbury Township are named
as executors. She was the second wife of the famous Sheriff
" Black " David Forman of Monmouth County. He died prior to
her. His will is dated February 24, 1802, was proved August 2,
1 s 1 3, and recorded in Book A. of Wills, page 613, etc., Monmouth
County Surrogate's Office. He provides for his wife Nelly, leaves
his real estate equally to his three sons Jonathan, Tunis and
Samuel. Gives §1,500 to his daughter Anne Lloyd.
Nicholas, the third son of Nicholas Van Brunt, the first settler
in Monmouth County, married January 15, 1767, Catharine a
daughter of William Cowenhoven and Annetje Hendrickson. a
widow. She was his second wife. Catharine their daughter was
baptized in the Dutch Church of Monmouth Count}-, April,
16, 1749
Nicholas Van Brunt was a sturdy and active patriot during
the revolution.
He and Daniel Hendrickson were the deputies from Shrews-
bury Township in 1775 to the Provincial Congress of New Jersey.
He was also a captain in the third regiment of Monmouth militia,
84 A Branch of the Van Brunt Family in Monmouth Co., N.J. LApril,
and the High Sheriff of Monmouth County in 1778. He removed
all the prisoners from the county jail at Freehold to Morris
County the day before the British army occupied this place on
June 27, 1778. He, with John Smock, Peter Cowenhoven and
Hendrick Voorhees were Commissioners of Loan for Monmouth
County under the act of 1786 to let out on loan by the State of
New Jersey one hundred thousand pounds.
By Catharine Cowenhoven his wife, Sheriff Nicholas Van
Brunt had the following children.
William, born February 4, 1768 ; for some reason this child
was not baptized, at all events no record of his baptism appears
in book of Marlboro Dutch Church.
Their other children were all baptized in this church, viz :
Cornelius, baptized July 23, 1769.
Nicholas, baptized August 4, 177 1.
Antje, baptized May 8, 1774.
Mary, baptized June 25, 1775.
Hendrick, baptized April 5, 1778.
Daniel C, baptized April 30, 1780, and died young.
Sarah Wycof, baptized Sept. 28, 1783.
Daniel C, baptized Nov. 18, 1787.
William Van Brunt the eldest son married November 23,
1785; Elizabeth, a daughter of Kenneth Hankinson, also an
active and prominent patriot during the Revolution. He was
also a captain in the Monmouth militia and one of the Commis-
sioners appointed to confiscate and sell the real estate of Loyal-
ists who joined the King*s army, or went within the British lines.
See minutes of Court of Common Pleas of Monmouth from 1778
to 1790. Also records of executions out of this court for same
period. Kenneth Hankinson and Eleanor, his wife, by deed
dated April 19, 1795, conveyed to their son-in-law William Van
Brunt a farm of 209 14-100 acres in Freehold Township. This
seems to have been an advancement, for in his will dated Oct. 9,
1807, and recorded in Book A. of Wills, page 229, etc., Surrogate's
Office of Monmouth County, he gives to his daughter Elizabeth
Van Brunt only a silver pint cup, and does not mention her hus-
band. This shows that he considered the land deeded as this
child's full share of his estate.
By deed dated March 15, 1800, and recorded in Monmouth
Clerk's Office William Van Brunt and Elizabeth Van Brunt, his
wife, conveys this farm to Louis Cowenhoven for nearly six thou-
sand dollars. He must have removed about this time to Steuben
County, New York, for he died at Lockport, New York.
The records of Marlboro Dutch Church show that William
Van Brunt and Elizabeth Hankinson, his wife, had the following
children baptized.
William Conover, baptized Feb. 8, 1789.
Nelly, baptized May 15, 1790.
Catharine, baptized Jan. 13, 1798.
Kenneth Hankinson, baptized June 24, 1798.
He had, however, other children born in Monmouth County
not baptized, and, of course, after he removed from New Jersey

William Van Brunt was ten years old when battle of Mon-
86 A Branch of the Van Brunt Family in Monmouth Co., N.J. [April,
mouth was fought. His father was High Sheriff of the county,
and had gone from home to remove a lot of Tory marauders con-
fined in county jail to some other place as the British army was
coming. Before his father got back, his mother was terrified at
the sound of the cannonade. William Van Brunt afterward told
how he listened to this noise, and thought his father would never
get home. He also remembered the many raids of the refugees
from Sandy Hook and the Pine robbers, etc.
His son, Nicholas, married in 1822, Sarah Reynolds, and lived
for some time at Penn Yann in New York. In 1830, he removed
to Perth Amboy, New Jersey, where he lived the rest of his life.

SOUTH WOLD,
THE ENGLISH HOME OF REV. JOHN YONGES. OF
SOUTHOLD, L< »NG ISLAND, NEW YORK.
By Lucy Dubois Akkki.v.
Those of Anglo-Saxon lineage speak of
England as the mother country. Perhaps
this will explain the peculiarly close tie
which binds the American to an older, more
conventional, yet infinitely more picturesque,
civilization than his own.
Almost every foot of the British Isles has
some association with the past, or as Ruskin
would express it, " some lamp of memory."
Southwold, 103 miles from London, in the
Hundred of Blything and County of Suffolk,
England, is a place of great interest to many
in this country, as having been the residence
of Rev. John Yonges; and of his father, the
Rev. Christopher Yonges, Vicar of Reydon
and Southwold. f%^ *^C
The Rev. John Yonges (Yongs, Young, y£~~*r~
Youngs), was one of the principal founders
of the oldest town on Long Island, which he
called Southold, after his former home, also giving the county in
which it was situated the English name of Suffolk.
Southwold belonged to the powerful Iceni, or Cenomagni, a
British tribe, who, under Boadicea, were conquered by the
Romans A. D. 62. Afterward it formed part of the kingdom of
East Anglia, which though one of the least important divisions
of the so-called Saxon Heptarchy, gave its name to all England*
From remains found in the cliffs the Danes are believed to
have had a camp at Southwold.
It is styled in old records Suwald, Suwalda, Sudholda, South-
wand, Southold, etc., and owes its name to a wood which no
longer exists, called " Bovens " in the Domesday Book.\
It is an island at high tide, formed by the River Blythe, Buss
Creek, \ and the North Sea. The inhabited portion facing the
ocean is on a bluff 25 to 30 feet high, parts of which bear the
familiar names of Long Island and New York Cliffs.
According to the Domesday survey, io8i-'86, the sea line is
now a mile further inland than at that time.

94 Southold, the English Home of Rev. John Yonges, [April,
A fine bathing beach makes Southwold one of the most
attractive of English watering places. The climate is unusually
mild in winter and bracing in summer. Many of the beach
pebbles are of agate and carnelian, relics of the glacial age.*
On a summer day the joy of color makes this region a para-
dise for artists. The surrounding marshes or meadows, with the
flat country beyond, are wonderfully like Holland, or our own
Long Island. Their rich green makes a fine setting for the
town, which can be described as a symphony in reds and greys,
with its noble church and stately light-house towering above it,
while beyond stretches the unfathonable sea, lost at last in the
horizon line of the soft, low, silvery cloud-flecked English sky.
As one looks landward during the spring months there is a
blaze of golden gorse visible, while in August the heather lends
a not less beautiful purple glow to the landscape.
The Domesday Book mentions Sudwalda as existing to feed
the monks of Bury St. Edmunds, yielding them 25,000 herrings,
as against 20,000 in the days of Edward the Confessor.
A controversy having arisen as to the erection of a chapel
there, it was decided in 1202 that the Cluniac Monastery, of
Thetford, in right of their cell at Wangford, and as patrons of the
church at Rissemere (Reydon), to which Southwold was a ham-
let, should build a chapel on a site to be given by Bury, but that
Thetford and its dependencies should have the sole jurisdiction
over it, and that all christenings, marriages and burials should
take place at Reydon.
It is a source of deep regret that the earliest Parish Register
of Reydon, now extant, dates only from 1712, thus depriving us
of priceless genealogical lore.
The first Southwold chapel was burnt about 1422-32, the
second was parochial, the baptisms, marriages, etc., to be cele-
brated there, but until 1751 it was a chapel of ease only, to be
served by the Vicar of Reydon.
The earliest mention of a burial-place at Southwold is of its
enlargement, found in a deed dated Wangford, 13th Apl., 1458.
Neither at Reydon nor Southwold churchyards are there any
gravestones legible that ante-date 1700.
The third church, dating from 1460, is still standing, and
dedicated to St. Edmund, King and Martyr. It is of dressed flint
and stone, wonderfully beautiful in tint, mellowed by the cen-
turies that it has seen come and go. It was a pleasure to be one
of its crowded congregation, and to visit its flourishing, admir-
ably taught Sunday-schools.
What is left of the interior is imposing, including, among
other things, richly carved pews and stalls, a wooden Jack in
armor, who formerly struck the hours (p. 93), and an exquisite
rood-screen, with quaint painted figures.
Col. Dowsing, a Vandal Parliamentarian, was appointed
" Visitor of the Suffolk Churches " in 1643. Under the guise of
religion he and his followers perpetrated every sacrilige here and

elsewhere in the neighborhood, destroying images, pictures,
tombs and brasses, which to-day would be of untold value.
The arms of the borough of Southwold are, according to
Burke, " Sable, two arrows in saltire enfiled with a ducal cor-
onet, or, crest, a bust of a man couped at the breast, vested and
regally crowned."
Another coat has a dolphin in chief, and another in base, with
the letters E. S. on either side.
The arrows allude to the martyrdom of King Edmund.

In 1603 Southwold was devastated by the plague, and in 1659
a most disasterous fire occurred, from which the town has never
fully recovered.
In 1G54 there were about 2,000 inhabitants, in 1750 only 666;
in 1901 they numbered 2,782.
The Parish Register begins in 1602; part of the first volume is
in the copperplate handwriting of Rev. Christopher Yonges, who
was instituted to the Vicarage of Reydon with Southwold, 14
Jan., 161 1. {Institution Books 0/ Norwich.)
Signature of the Rev. Christopher Yonges, Parish Register, Southwold.
q6 Soutkwold, the English Home of Ret'. John Yonges, [April,
The late Mr. Charles B. Moore thought that " Christopher
Yonges was probably educated at Oxford, graduated A. B. 156^,
M. A. in 1566, licensed 4 July, incepted 4 July, and elected Chap-
lain of Windsor, 6 Mch. 156^6. "'* The proof of the statement
does not appear.
Vicar Christopher Yonges was buried 16 June, 1626, and his
widow Margaret, 1 Nov. 1630. (Soutkwold Parish Register.)
A small, much worn brass, 14^6 x 5 inches, in the chancel of
St. Edmund's marks his grave, bearing the following inscription:
E
•• Here Lyeth interred y body of Mr. Christopher
e
Yonges who depted this life y 14 day of Ivne
anno Domini, 1626,
A good man fvll of fayth was hee
Here preacher of Gods word
And manie by his ministrie
Weare added to the Lord. (Act. II 24."
"The will of William Yonges, of Lowestoft, 22 June, 1530,
proved 7 Mch., 1530, names wife Margery. William Hocker, of
Lowertoft, executor. (Arch. Suff. Ipswich, B. 10, L. 172.)"
"The will of Christopher Home, of Aylesham, yeoman, 4
Mch., 1602, proved 21 Apl., 1603. To be buried in the church-
yard of Aylesham where my wife lyeth buried. Nephew Chris-
topher Yonges, of Colby, the elder. His daughters tenements in
Colby and Albie. Christopher, John and William Yonges, sons of
my nephew Christopher Yonges. Wife Emma Home, sister
Johan Yonges. Kinsman William Barker, of Aylesham. Cousin
Awby, of Weston, Norfolk. John Crome and Elizabeth his wife.
Codicil added 15 Apl., 1603. (C. Court, Norwich, B. Norfolk, L.
242.)"
" The same will was proved in the Prerogative Court of Lon-
don and registered in Book Harte jq."\
These two wills are doubtless a clue to the ancestry of Vicar
Christopher Yonges, whose sons, so far as known of them, were:
Edward, John, Joseph and Christopher, the latter at least being
a native of the County of Norfolk. Therefore, it is not unreason-
able to suppose that Christopher, John and William Yonges
might be Rev. Christopher Yonges, of Southwold, and his two
brothers, sons of Christopher Yonges, the elder, of Colby, Nor-
folk, and grandsons of Johan Yonges, sister of Christopher
Home.
"The will of Christopher Yonges, Clerk, minister of South-
wold, dated 21 Nov., , proved 5 Jul}', 1626, leaves wife Mar-
garet all lands for life, then to my six children, John, Joseph,
Christopher, Mary, Margaret and Martha. To eldest son all my
books, except some English books such as my wife or my other

grandchildren, John and Thomas Yonges, are each to have a
silver spoon. Wife Margaret, John Smith and Thomas Elliot,
of Southwold, executors. (Consistory Court, Norwich, 1626, No,
164.)"
" The will of Margaret Younges, late wife of Christopher
Younges, deceased, of Southwold, 27 Oct., 1630, proved 8 Jan.,
1630, leaves the house and land she dwells in to be divided
amongst her six children, John, Joseph, Christopher, Mary, Mar-
garet and Martha, according to her husband's will. Her two
sons, John and Joseph, to be executors. (Arch. Suff. Ipswich, B.
59, 1629-30. L. 349)"*
The Vicar's children, Edward and Elizabeth Yonges, were
drowned with twenty-two others, on St. James' Day, 1616, and
buried July 31st. f (Southwold Parish Register).
Three of the children named in the wills of the Vicar and his
wife were Rev. John Yonges, of Southold, L. I.; Christopher
Yonges, of Wenham,^ Mass., and Martha, wife of Thomas Moore,
of Salem, Mass., and Southold, L. I. She was probably the
youngest child, and was baptized at Southwold, Eng., 1 July, 1613.
(Parish Register.)
Mary, daughter of the Vicar, doubtless married William
Browne, of Salem. Joseph Yonges probably married Margaret
Warryn at .Southwold, or else the Vicar's daughter, Margaret,
married a Joseph Yonges.
The will of Christopher Yonges, of Wenham, Mass., dated
19 :4 : 1647, the day of his death, entrusts his daughters, Sarah
and Mary, to the care of his mother-in-law, naming her husband,
his father-in-law, Mr. Richard Elvin, of Great Yarmouth, in our
native county of Norfolk, England, (ante, p. 96).
His son Christopher Yonges was to be given to Mr. John
Phillips at Wrentham, Eng., and until the children can be sent
to England they were to be cared for by the testator's two sisters,
the wife of Joseph Yonge and the wife of Thomas Moor, of
Salem.
The inventory of Christopher Yonges was ^51 :ns. His
wife, Priscella Elvin, died before him. (Essex Co., Mass., \Vills.)§
The inventory of Capt. Joseph Yonges, of Southold, L. I.,
dated 15 Sept., 1658, amounted to ,£477: 09: 00. A legal document
of Margaret, his widow, names her sons, Joseph, John, Gideon
and Samuel. (Southold Town Rcc., I, 438,69.)
"Joseph Yonges and Margaret Warryn were married 1632,
Feb. 5. Joseph, son of Joseph and Margaret Yonges, was bap-
tized, 1633, Jan. 23. "John, son of Joseph and Margaret Yonges,
baptized 1635. Mar. 10." (Southwold Parish Register.)

1625. '3». '4*i '44-

gS Southwold, the English Home of Rev. John Yonges. [April,
Daniel More, grocer, of Southwold, issued farthing tokens in
1668.
From Thomas Moore, of Salem and Southold, descend a num-
erous progency, among them the late Mr. Charles B. Moore,
author of the admirable Indexes to Southold Genealogies. By
tradition the said Thomas Moore was the son of a Norfolk clergy-
man, probably Thomas Moore, Vicar of Strumpshaw.*
To return to Rev. John Yonges, so well described by Rev.
Dr. Whitaker.f he married 25 July, 1622, Joan Herrington,
widow. Their children, John and Thomas, were baptized re-
spectively 1623, Apl. 3, and 1625, May 1, at Southwold. \ Both
are called grandsons in the will of Vicar Yonges and both came
to Long Island.
" 1613, Mch. 7, Robert Herrington married Johan Jentilman."
" Robert, son of Robert and Joan Herrington, was bapt. 1616,
Oct. 1." There is apparently no entry of the death of Robert
Herrington in the Southwold Parish Register.
" 1609, July, Thomas Jentillman was buried the 30 day. He
lived above four score yeares in pfect sight and memorie, and in
his flourishing time for building of shippes and many other
commendable parts he continued in his place unmatchable." \
" Thomas Gentleman lived to the advanced age of 98 years.
He was born in Southwold in 1511, and died in 1609, having been
Bailiff in 1534, '72, '86, '96 and 1604, and gave the 'Composition
Lings' seventy years unto four princes, viz.: King Edward,
Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, and until the sixth year of our
most gracious Sovereign King James the First, which comes to
much more than one thousand pounds for one man of that town
to pay the Government. "§
Tobias Gentleman, son of the above Thomas, was instru-
mental in reviving and successfully establishing the Royal Fish-
eries. He wrote a pamphlet entitled " England's Way to Win
Wealth, and to Employ Ships and Mariners," dated 1614.
" Composition Lings " were those fish which the King's Ser-
geant-Eater hath yearly out of every ship and bark, gratis, one
hundred of the choicest and fairest Lings (from the Iceland ships),
which are worth more than ten pounds the hundred, and they
call them Composition Fish." (From T. Gentleman's pamphlet.)
With the marriage of Joan Jentilman to Thomas Beaumont in
1628, the name disappears from the Parish Register.
If Joan Herrington descended from Thomas Jentilman she
was probably his great-granddaughter.
It is possible that Rev. John Yonges was married three times,
for it is stated in the testimony of John Grover, of Beverly,
Mass.; Sarah Chatwell, of Salem, and Mary Gage, of Beverly,
that Nicholas Woodbury, of Beverly, married Anna, whose
maiden name was always understood to be Palgrave, and who

came from Great Yarmouth, England, having been brought to
America by her father-in-law^ Mr. John Yonge."
"Anna Woodberry died 10 June, 1701, being aged about
seventy-five years." (Beverly Records.)
One of the Parish Registers at Great Yarmouth has the entry
of the marriage of Richard Palgrave and Joan Harris, 24 Jan.
1625-6. f Anna, their daughter, was baptized 29 Oct., 1626.
Richard Palgrave died 30 Mch., 1630, and Joan married 2d
Rev. John Young, minister, of St. Margarett's, Suffolk, England,
and he was 35 years of age in 1637 when they, with six children,
removed to New England.!
Thomas Harris was Bailiff at Yarmouth in i58i,and the South
Gate in that town was sometimes called Harris Gate.g
" Rev. John Yonge died 24 Feb., 1674, in his 74th year.|)
(tombstone at Southold). Administration on his estate was
granted to his widow, Mary, in 1675, he having left a non-cupa-
tive will only.^f
The will of Mary Youngs, "widow of John Youngs, sometime
minister of this town," dated 5 Nov., 1978, names John Youngs,
eldest son of my said husband, Benjamin Youngs, my eldest son.
(by my last husband), Christopher Youngs, son of my husband
He was Mary's son also. Thomas Youngs, Sarah Youngs, Mary
Youngs, my daughter, and Mary Youngs, my grandchild. Ed-
ward Pattey is to have a sheep as a full portion with what he
already hath. (Southold Town Rec, II, 17.).
"The will of Thomas Warren, of Southwold, Eng., merchant,
4 Mch., 1641, proved 13 Sept., 1645, mentions the children of his
daughter Mary, wife of John Youngs, now in New England,
Mary Gardiner, his said daughter's daughter, and his grandson,
Benjamin Youngs, also his daughter Margaret, wife of Joseph
Youngs, sons Thomas and George Warren, deceased son Robert
Warren, daughter Deborah, and son-in-law Simon Barnard.
(Arch Suff., Ipswich. Orig. Wills, 1645, No. 20.)"**
Thomas Warren was Baliff of Southwold 1614, '20, '27, '33
and '38ft
It has been supposed that the last wife of Rev. John Yonges
was a widow, Petty, from the bequest to Edward Pattey, but it
would seem as if her first husband had been named Gardiner.
Mary Gardiner, her daughter, may have been ordinarily known
by the surname of her step-father, Yonges, or she may have
married her step-brother, Col. John Yonges.
Petty and Gardiner are both well known Long Island names.
Petty, or Pettie, occurs frequently in the Southwold Parish Reg-
ister in the 17th and 18th centuries.

THE LAYING OF TWO GENEALOGICAL GHOSTS,
Viz: — Patience Thacher, Daughter of Rev. Thomas Thacher,
01 Weymouth and Boston, Mass., and William Kemp,
2D, Son of William Kemp, ist, of Duxbury, Mass.
By John R. Totten. N. Y. G. and B. Soc.
Savages Gen. Die, Vol. Ill, p. 8, states, William Kemp, of Dux-
burv, a passenger on the ship James, left Southampton, England
in April, 1635 and arrived in Boston June 3rd, 1635; he had a son
William, of Duxbury, who married Patience, daughter of Rev.
Thomas Thacher. The same authority, Vol. IV, p. 273, mentions
Patience Thacher, daughter of Rev. Thomas Thacher, of Wey-
mouth, Mass. Davis' Landmarks of Plymouth, Mass., Part II,
p. 259, states, Patience Thacher, daughter of Rev. Thomas
Thacher, married William Kemp. Winsor's History of Dux-
bury, Mass., p. 179, note, states, Rev. Thomas Thacher had also a
daughter Patience, who married William Kemp, 2d, of Duxbury;
and on p. 273, states, William Kemp, ist, of Duxbury, married Eliz-
abeth : his inventory was taken September 23, 1641. Estate
102 The Laying of Two Genealogical Ghosts. [April,
^150; he had land at Beaver Pond, South River and Namassa-
keeset; he had a son, William Kemp, 2nd, who married Patience
Thacher,(?) (note the interrogation point), which William Kemp
2d, had a daughter (Patience Kemp) who married Samuel Sea-
bury. D. W. Allen's Thacher Genealogy, page 8, states, Patience
Thacher, daughter of Rev. Thomas Thacher, of Weymouth and
Boston, Mass., married William Kemp. And various family
genealogies, quoting from antecedent authorities, have per-
petuated this error, which has remained without specific refuta-
tion until this date.
It is the object of this article to establish that Patience
Thacher, daughter of Rev. Thomas Thacher, never existed in the
flesh: and also to establish that William Kemp, 2d, likewise never
existed in the flesh; or if he did, that he never married a Patience
Thacher, the hypothetical daughter of Rev. Thomas Thacher.
Rev. Ralph Partridge arrived in this country November 17th,
1636 (Items of Ancestry, p. 63); was made minister of Duxbury,
Mass., lived there and died there in that capacity. He made his
will Sept. 20th, 1655; which will was probated May 4th, 1658, and
in that will he mentions his daughter Elizabeth, her 2nd son,
Ralph Thacher, her eldest daughter, Patience Kemp, and her
youngest son, Peter Thacher.
All authorities agree that Elizabeth, daughter of Rev. Ralph
Partridge, married, May 11, 1643, Rev. Thomas Thacher, of Wey-
mouth, Mass., then, and subsequently of Boston, Mass. But, if
Elizabeth, daughter of Rev. Ralph Partridge, married Rev.
Thomas Thacher May nth, 1643, then her eldest child by this
marriage, in the ordinary course of nature, could not possibly
have been born before late in 1643, or early in 1644; probably in
January, 1644; this child would then, at the date (Sept. 20th,
1655) of her grandfather, Rev. Ralph Partridge's will, have been
but eleven (11) years and eight (8) months old, an age too young
for her (if a girl) to have married previous to the date of the will
and to have changed her name from Thacher to Kemp. How
does it happen then, that in her grandfather's will she (the
eldest daughter of the Rev. Ralph Partridge's daughter Eliza-
beth Partridge) is called Patience Kemp and not Patience Thacher?
Giving her the benefit of all natural conditions and permitting
her to be the eldest child as well as the eldest daughter of Eliza-
beth Partridge and Rev. Thomas Thacher, and assuming her of
course to have been born in wedlock, as undoubtedly she was, then
January, 1644, approximately, would be her earliest date of birth,
and her age at the date of Rev. Ralph Partridge's will would,
as above stated, be but eleven (n) years and eight (8) months,
an age too young for her to have previously married and changed
her name from Thacher to Kemp. The evident conclusion is
that Elizabeth Partridge, daughter of Rev. Ralph Partridge,
must have been married previous to her marriage with Rev.
Thomas Thacher, and she must have had a daughter by this first
marriage, which daughter, at the date (September 20th, 1655) of
her grandfather Ralph Patridge's will, bore the name of Patience
Kemp.
1qo4] Tlte Laying of Two Genealogical Ghosts. 103
How then could her name at that date be Patience Kemp?
We answer, either her father, Elizabeth Partridge's first hus-
band, may have been named Kemp, or she may have been the
daughter of Elizabeth Partridge by a first husband (surname
unknown) and have been old enough at the date (September
20th, 1655) of her grandfather's will to have been married to
one named Kemp.
Let us now investigate this matter from the standpoint of
the record of William Kemp, 1st. William Kemp, 1st resided at
Duxbury, Mass. Winsor's History of Duxbury states that he
married Elizabeth (maiden surname not given). His inven-
tory was taken September 23rd, 1641. Estate ^150. He had
land at Beaver Pond, South River and Namassakeeset, and had a
son William, 2nd, who married Patience Thacher (?) (note the
interrogation point as indicating doubt on Winsor's part as to
the authenticity of this last statement). Winsor on same page
states that this William Kemp, 2nd, had a daughter by this Pa-
tience Thacher (?), which daughter married Samuel Seabury.
Notice (1) William Kemp, 1st, wife's Christian name was Eliza-
beth , maiden surname not given. Why could it not have been
Partridge ? (2) William Kemp, 1st, died previous to September
23rd, 1641, and therefore his widow, Elizabeth , was on May
11th, 1643, free to contract a second marriage. Why could she
not have been Elizabeth, daughter of Rev. Ralph Partridge, who
on May 11, 1643, did marry Rev. Thomas Thacher.
But if the first William Kemp had a son William Kemp, 2nd,
who married a Patience Thacher, who was the Patience Thacher
that he married ? She must have been the daughter of Rev-
Thomas Thacher by his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Rev. Ralph
Partridge, as common acceptance by the early authorities has
established it. But by the course of reasoning previously em-
ployed, we see that in that case she could not have been born
before January, 1644; and that on September 20th, 1655 (the date
of her grandfather's will) at the age of eleven years and eight
months, she was known as Patience Kemp. Then if her name
at that date was Patience Kemp, because she had previously mar-
ried William Kemp, 2d, she must have married him before she
was 11 years and eight months old, a manifest improbability.
The inevitable conclusion from the above is that William
Kemp, 1 st, had no son William Kemp, 2nd, who married a Patience
Thacher, and in all probability he had no son William Kemp,
2nd, whatever; and the evident conclusion is that William Kemp,
1 st, himself was the father of the Patience Kemp who is men-
tioned in the will of the Rev. Ralph Partridge. For William
Kemp, 1st married Elizabeth , maiden surname not specific-
ally given, but by strong circumstantial and inferential evidence
she was Elizabeth Partridge, daughter of Rev. Ralph Partridge.
William Kemp, 1st, died previous to September 23rd, 1641, after
a short married career, leaving one child, a daughter, Patience
Kemp, named after her maternal grandmother, wife of Rev.
Ralph Partridge, whose Christian name was as a matter of record
Patience. Elizabeth Partridge- Kemp, widow of William Kemp,
104 The Laying of Two Genealogical Ghosts. [April,
ist, and having one child, Patience Kemp, married a second time,
May nth, 1643, Rev. Thomas Thacher; and her daughter, Pa-
tience Kemp, became the step-daughter of Rev. Thomas Thacher.
This child was probably but an infant at the time of her mother's
second marriage and was brought up and lived until she married
in her stepfather's family, and thus may have become known as
Patience Thacher, whereas in reality she was Patience Kemp.
These circumstances have aided in establishing the long existing
confusion of calling her Patience Thacher; and have forced gen-
ealogists to summon into existence a mythical second William
Kemp to whom to marry her, in order to provide parents for a
Patience Kemp (whose existence they could not otherwise account
for), who was by them supposed to have subsequently become
the wife of Samuel Seabury of Duxbury. All of this confusion is
due to the absence of specific record showing that Elizabeth Par-
tridge was first married to William Kemp, ist, who shortly there-
after died leaving a daughter, Patience Kemp.
Let us now investigate the matter from the Seabury stand-
point.
From Winsor's Duxbury, p. 305, we have the following:
Samuel Seabury was born in Boston, December 10th, 1640; he
removed to Duxbury, Mass., and was a physician. He was mar-
ried first at Weymouth, Mass., on December 9th (or 16th), 1660,
to Patience Kemp, who died October 29th, 1676. He was mar-
ried second on April 4th, 1677, to Martha Pabodie. He died
August 5th, 1681. He had by first and second wives, amongst
other children, a son John and a daughter Hannah, whose names
are here specifically mentioned in connection with subject matter
to be referred to later.
Notice the fact that Patience Kemp, his first wife, was married
at Weymouth, Mass., the home at that time (1660) of Rev. Thomas
Thacher and Elizabeth Partridge his wife; she was undoubtedly
the stepdaughter of Rev. Thomas Thacher, and child of Eliza-
beth Partridge by her first husband William Kemp. Notice also
the date of her marriage (1660) to Samuel Seabury, which if she
was, as I state, the daughter of William Kemp, ist, would make
her date of birth not later than early in 1642 (even allowing her
to be posthumous) as her father's inventory was taken September
23rd, 1641. She would then in 1660 have been at a proper age
for marriage and at the then prevailing age of marriage, about
18 years old.
Let us now see what light is thrown on this controversy by
an examination of the Plymouth Colony Records, viz : — April
2nd, 1640, John Howland deeds to William Kemp 85 acres of
land. (Vol. XII, p. 56.) April 2nd, 1640, John Handmore deeds
to William Kemp 10 acres of land. (Vol. XII, p. 57.) April 2nd,
1640, John Shaw deeds to William Kemp 2 1-2 acres of land. (Vol.
XII, p, 57.) December 30th, 1640, Comfort Starr deeds to John
Maynard land lying between land of Mr. William Kemp and that
of Mr. George Partrich. (Vol. XII, p. 66.) November 2nd, 1641,
at a Court of Assistants at Plymouth, Mass., letters of adminis-
tration granted to Mrs. Elizabeth Kemp to administer upon all
1904] The Laying of Two Genealogical Gliosis. 105
goods, cattells, and debt which William Kemp, her late husband
died possessed, or were due and appertaining unto him at the time
of his decease; provided she exhibit upon oath a true inventory
thereof with all convenient speed, or when she shall be there-
unto required by the Court. (Vol. II, p. 27.) April 5th, 1642, at
a Court of Assistants, Plymouth, Mass, Mrs. Elizabeth Kemp
exhibited upon oath an inventory of all of her husband's goods,
debts and cattells to this Court. (Vol. 2, p. 37.) May 7th, 1642,
Robert Hicks deeds for jQ-j to William Brett 7 acres of Upland
lying in the nook towards the sea next to the land of Mrs. Eliza-
beth Kemp. (Vol. XII, p. 80.) June 23rd, [643, William Brett for
jQ\2 deeds to Mr. Ralph Partridge the described land,
transferred Mav 7th, 1642 from Robert Hicks to William Brett.
(Vol. XII, p. So.)
The above extracts from the Plymouth Colony Records estab-
lish the fact that William Kemp, 1st, was living December 30th,
1040, and that he died previous to November 2nd, 1641; and that
his widow's Christian name was Elizabeth. By the transfer of
property June 23rd, 1643, from William Brett to Mr. Ralph Par-
tridge we inferentially gather the fact that Rev. Ralph Partridge
acquired the land to round out the property of Mrs. Elizabeth
Kemp whose land it adjoined, and to whom at his death he left
most all of his property except this specific piece of land which
he left to her second son Ralph Thacher. The intimate relation
between the names Kemp and Partridge, even at this early date,
June 23rd, 1643, is thus established.
Again to return to the Plymouth Colony Records: July 7th.
1674, at a Court of His Majesty at Plymouth, Mass., " Liberty is
granted unto Mr. Samuel Saberry of Duxbury, to look out for
land to accommodate him in reference to several former grants
made by the Court to Mr. William Kemp deceased, which the
said Mr. Kemp never had, nor any for him; and was disappointed
of some parcclls of land assigned to him, and thereby, he having
an interest therein, as appears by the records of this Court : if
therefore, the said Mr. Saberry, his son-in-law. can find any lands
as yet undisposed of, he is to have a competent accommodation
of lands out of the same." (Vol. V. p. 150.)
From the above we see that a William Kemp had certain
lands assigned to him by the town of Duxbury, which allotment
of land was confirmed by the Court at Plymouth, but which lands
were never during his lifetime fully acquired by him. The ques-
tion then arises which William Kemp this was. In point of fact
there is but one William Kemp ever mentioned in the Plymouth
Colony Records, namely, the William Kemp, 1st, whose wife
Elizabeth was granted letters of administration Novem-
ber 2nd, 1641. In any subsequent reference to William Kemp in
the records, he is alwas referred to as deceased. The lands in
question in the above order of the Court are undoubtedly the
meadow lands which were assigned in connection with the Na-
massakeeset up-land grant. The up-land was allotted to William
Kemp, 1st, but probably due to death soon thereafter, the
meadow land appertaining thereto failed to be allotted, and his
106 The Laying of Two Genealogical Ghosts. [April,
widow soon thereafter removing with her second husband to
Weymouth, the claim thereto had lain dormant until revived by
Samuel Saberry, who married the daughter of William Kemp, ist,
and then acquired an interest in the claim, and saw fit to push it,
he living at the time in Duxbury, in which town the lands in
dispute were situated.
Notice at this point that on October 29th, 1676, Patience
Kemp, wife of Samuel Saberry, died. And then we have from
the Plymouth Colony Records, July 7th, 1682, at a Court of his
Majesty at Plymouth, Mass.: "The Court allows and approves
Mr. Rodolphus Thacher to be guardian unto two of Mr. Samuel
Saberry 's children, viz.: Hannah and John Saberry." (Vol. VI,
p. 91.) Mr. Samuel Saberry, himself, died August 5th, 1681, leav-
ing as his widow his second wife, Martha Pabodie. What more
natural then than to have Mr. Rodolphus Thacher (a resident of
Duxbury) and a half brother of Patience Kemp, the first wife of
Samuel Saberry, appointed a guardian of these two children, in
order to safeguard the interests of the children inherited by them
from William Kemp, ist, through Patience Kemp, his daughter
(the first wife of Samuel Saberry). who was the mother of one of
the children, viz.: Hannah Saberry, born July 7th, 1668. That he
Rodolphus Thacher at once acted as guardian in their interests
in this very matter is seen from the following extract from the
records of the same Court, July 7th, 1682, at a Court of his
Majesty at Plymouth Mass.: " At this Court Mr. Ralph Thacher"
(Rodolphus Thacher and Ralph Thacher were one and the same
persons, he writing his name both ways), "came into the Court
and petitioned the Court to take into their consideration a grant
of land made unto Mr. William Kemp, lying within the town of
Duxbury, about Namassakeesett, with meadow convenient to be
laid forth unto the same, which meadow was never layed out
according to Court order, neither what was done about the laying
out of it to be found upon the records, nor in any other writing.
The Court does therefore order the three men appointed by the
town of Duxbury to lay out the said lands and run the ranges,
viz.: Ensign John Tracey, John Soule, and William Paybody to
repair to the said place and lay out the said meadow according
to that proportion the said land and meadows were ordered to
be laid out by the town of Duxbury at the first; that so the
upland of the said William Kemp may be accommodated accord-
ing to Court order." (Vol. VI, pp. 92-93 )
From all of the above authorities as quoted it seems that we
may unquestionably regard as established the following conclu-
sions viz.:
(1). Rev. Thomas Thacher and Elizabeth Partridge, his wife,
had no daughter, Patience Thacher.
(2). Elizabeth Partridge, daughter of Rev. Ralph Partridge,
married first William Kemp, by whom she had a daughter,
Patience Kemp, born previous to May nth, 1643. William Kemp
died previous to September 23, 1641, and hence subsequent to
this date his widow was free to contract a second marriage;
which, in fact, she did, by marrying on May nth, 1643, Rev.
jo 1. 1 Amenta, X. V., ( hurch Records. 107
Thomas Thacher, who subsequently, January 2d, 1644-5, became
the minister at Weymouth, Mass., and remained there in that
capacity until subsequent to the death, on June 2d, 1664, of Eliza-
beth Partridge, his wife. Rev. Thomas Thacher was born in
England May 1st, 1620, and in 1643 was presumably about the
same age as Elizabeth Partridge, who, like himself, was born in
England (date of birth unknown), and came to this country
November 17th, 1636, with her father. Elizabeth Partridge, soon
after her coming to this country, married first William Kemp,
who had reached this country, previous to her arrival, June 3d,
1635, on the ship James. Soon after his marriage William Kemp
died, leaving but one child, Patience Kemp, and not leaving a
son, William Kemp, 2d, who never in reality existed at all. Eliza-
beth Partridge-Kemp, widow af the only William Kemp, shortly
after her first husband's death, married on May 11th, 1643, Rev.
Thomas Thacher, and her daughter by her first husband, Patience
Kemp, became the step-daughter of Rev. Thomas Thacher, and
was received into his family, and brought up by him, and married
from his home in Weymouth, Mass., on December 9th (or 16th),
1 660, to Samuel Saberry (Seabury), of Duxbury, Mass.
(3). Samuel Seabury did not marry Patience Kemp, daughter
of William Kemp, 2d, (who never existed in the flesh), and of
Patience Thacher (who also never existed), but married Patience
Kemp, daughter of William Kemp, 1st, (the only William Kemp),
and Elizabeth Partridge, his wife, he being her first hasband.
(4). William Kemp, 2d, and Patience Thacher are two myth-
ical individuals, summoned into existence by early genealogists,
in order that by their marriage they could give birth to a Pati-
ence Kemp, who was subsequently to marry Samuel Seabury. It
was known beyond doubt that Samuel Seabury did marry a
Patience Kemp, and so these hypothetical parents were manu-
factured for her.
With these final remarks we relegate Patience Thacher,
daughter of Rev. Thomas Thacher and Elizabeth Partridge, and
William Kemp, 2d, son of William Kemp, 1st, and Elizabeth
, his wife, back to the realms of shade whence they
were summoned by those who carelessly failed to examine the
records.

at Monson, Mass.; m. Jan., 1753, Mercy Lathrop, of Tolland,
Conn.; b. Oct. i, 1736; d. Jan. 15, 1827, aged 90 years, dau. of
Solomon and Susannah Lathrop, of Tolland, Conn. When 16
years old he removed with his father from Colchester to Elling-
ton, Conn., and March 11, 1754, his father deeded to him a house
and farm there. In 1767, he removed to Ludlow, Mass., then a
part of Springfield, where he was one of the pioneers, and a lead-
ing man in religious and public affairs, and a public official in
various capacities. His last years were spent with his youngest
son, Benjamin. His children, except the three youngest, were
born in Ellington, Conn. Children:
86 i. Elisha,' b. April 8, 1754; m. (1) Rebecca Waterman; m.
(2) Sarah Cleveland.

ix. Olive, b. Feb. 13, 1777; m. William McKinney, of El-
lington, and d. in Stafford, Conn.
78. David" Fuller, ( Young* Matthew* Samuel* Samuel,' /id-
ward'), b. 1733, in Colchester, Conn., bap. there April 29, 1734;
d. in East Haddam, Sept. 25, 1804, aged 72 years. A newspaper
of the period says that the immediate cause of his death was " a
fall from his cart." He m. April 17, 1759, Mrs. Lois (Hubbard)
Fuller, widow of Jabez", (Thomas', John 3 Samuel', Edward') Ful-
ler of East Haddam, and dau. of John and Lois (Clark) Hubbard
of Middle Haddam. She was born Dec. 13, 1730, in Middletown,
Conn.; d. May 29, 1792, at East Haddam, aged 62 years.
David Fuller removed in boyhood from Colchester to Elling-
ton parish, then in the town of Windsor, and continued to live
there until about the time of his marriage, when he settled upon
the farm which had belonged to Mrs. Fuller's first husband.
This farm was purchased from Mrs. Fuller's heirs by her son
Jabez' Fuller, and has remained in the Fuller family until recent-
ly, (1896). David Fuller was not an owner of real estate in East
Haddam, but Windsor deeds show him to have been well pro-
vided with lands in that town. One deed (vol. 14, p. 201), is
especially important. It reads : "Young Fuller of Windsor, for
the love and good will that I bare to my son David Fuller, for-
merly of Windsor aforesaid, now living at East Haddam, two
pieces of land in the parish of Ellington, one half my dwelling
1904.] Edward Fuller and His Descendants. \ I 5
house and barn." This deed is dated March 5, 1759, and was
acknowledged in Colchester in presence of Caleb and Brock way
Beebe, and recorded at Windsor, April 27, 1763. It looks as if
this deed was given with the expectation that David the son
would settle on his father's farm in Ellington. He did not do so,
but remained in East Iladdam, as aforesaid. David Fuller was
appointed April 30, 1759, guardian to Diademia and Beulah Ful-
ler, the two children of his wife by her first husband. The births
of the children of David and Lois Fuller are not recorded in the
East Haddam town records, but we have their baptisms from the
Church records as follows :
Children of David' and Lois Fuller, baptized at East Haddam:
i. Beulah', bap. Aug. 10, 1760; in. 17.S4 Newton Whittle-
sey, son of Rev. Chauncey Whittlesey of New
Haven, b. June 1, 1754 at New Haven; d. Dec. 4,
1785 at Middletown, Ct., where he was a merchant.
His only child was Martha Whittlesey, b. Nov. 6,
1785 at Middletown, married Nov. 20, 1808 Julius
Deming and resided at Shelby Center, N. Y. What
became of Mrs. Beulah Whittlesey I have not learned.
89 ii. Jabez, bap. May 30, 1762; m. Lydia Smith,
iii. Jonathan, bap. Sept. n, 1763.
iv Lucy, b. Sept. 15, 1766; m. April 24, 1791 Abner Brain-
ard of East Haddam; she died Nov. 24, 1852 aged 86
years. Her children were : Abner, b. Dec. 6, 1793;
Beulah, b. Oct. 12, 1795; John Milton, b. Oct. 26, 1797:
Louisa Fuller, b. Sept. 23, 1799; Edwin, b. Nov. 13,
1804; Emily, b. Aug. 13, 1806; Enos Lewis, b. July
15, 1808, (whose son William R. is the father of the
present writer) and two others who died young. All
the children married and had numerous descendents
in Connecticut,
v. Joseph, bap. Aug. 26, 1770; m. and had a family,
vi. Olive, bap. Nov, 22, 1772; m. and had a family.
79. Caleb' Fuller, ( Young," Matthew' Samuel, 1 Samuel,'' Ed-
ward 1 ), b. 1735 m Colchester, Conn.; bap. there Aug. 17, 1735;
d. Aug. 20, 1815, aged 80, at Hanover. N. H. In 1758 he grad-
uated from Yale College, receiving the degree of A. M. in 1762.
He was licensed to preach by the Hartford South Association
Feb. 5, 1760, when he is described as "of Windsor, now residing
at Andover." Oct. 28, 1762 he married Hannah Weld, the
seventh daughter in a family of fifteen children of the Rev.
Habijah (Harvard, 1723) and Mary (Fox) Weld of Attleborough,
Mass., and sister of the wife of Rev. Oliver Noble (Yale 1757)
pastor of the church at Coventry, Ct. Caleb Fuller seems never
to have been a settled pastor, though doubtless he often preached
as a supply, since manuscript sermons of his are now in posses-
sion of his descendants. From 1770 to 1777 he resided in East
Windsor, Conn., removing thence to Middletown, Conn., and from
Middletown in 1790 to Hanover, N. H., perhaps because he
desired to educate his son at Dartmouth College. At Hanover
he was Deacon of the College Church. He was a man of earnest

surgeon with a captain's rank. His case of surgical instruments
used at that time, are still preserved by his descendants. That
he was an army surgeon is the family tradition, but I have been
utterly unable to verify it from any official source. Prof. Dexter

NEW YORK GLEANINGS IN ENGLAND.
Contributed by Lothrop Withington, London.
It is with much pleasure that I hope to contribute from time
to time to the Record these Gleanings from the English archives
concerning New York families. They are partly suggested by
the unpublished collections of Mr. Henry Fitzgilbert Waters,
now in my care, and partly from my own gatherings in the past,
and to these skeleton references which I fill in for publication I
hope also to add much quite new notes in the future as I come
across New York matter in my searches. This work is on sim-
ilar lines to my contributions to various other historical publi-
cations of our original Colonies. For a particular account of the
work of Mr. Waters and myself here in England see the Virginia
Historical Magazine for January, 1903, page 291. The notes of
Mr. Waters, not elsewhere printed, are being edited by me for
the Genealogical Quarterly Magazine. It has seemed to me how-
ever, most appropriate for the notes of Mr. Waters specially re-
ferring to our early Colonies to be issued where they are of most
interest. This plan enables me to add as much as possible from
our own work.

[This interesting and important will may serve to connect the
scattered branches of the romantic wandering Macky or Mackay
family, especially between Scotland and Ireland. Many de-
scendants of the Irish branch are found in New York and Penn-
sylvania. The Hon. George Macky was a younger son of the 3d
Baron Reay and father of the 8th Baron, ancestor of the present
Lord Reay. General Alexander Mackay or Macky was a young-
er brother of George. Ebenezer Forrest, the jovial Beefstaker,
was author of a well known book illustrated by Hogarth. — L. W.]

EDITORIAL.
Like every other magazine the Record wishes to increase its circulation;
yet unlike many others its motives are almost entirely unselfish. There are no
salaries to be advanced, and any surplus which might attend an increase of
circulation is pledged to be used in the enlargement of the periodical. There
remains, accordingly, on the side of selfish considerations, only the satisfac-
tion of seeing the magazine prosper. Why should not the members of the
Publication Committee covet this gratification? We wish that this personal
appeal could be heeded by those who are members of our genealogical
society, and by all others who are able to appreciate the work which the
Record is doing.
It is evident that such a periodical as this must have a restrictive field and
can appeal for subscribers only to the cultured, the public-spirited and the
substantial, classes. As the spirit of commercialism increases and the popu-
lation becomes more and more hoterogeneous, it devolves upon these classes
to lend increasing support to the maintenance of the things which foster the
spirit of patriotism and the higher elements of civilization. Of these the study
of genealogy and biography, as well as the preservation of the records of fam-
ilies and individuals, are not the least important, and these are the objects
which this magazine seeks to promote. The popular periodicals are business
enterprises whose mission is to entertain, and readers subscribe to them in
order to be entertained. But the mission of the Record is not a commercial
one; it does not aim to amuse, and so must gather its subscribers from those
who do not seek to be amused, but who support it either for the sake of the in-
formation it contains, or from sympathy with its mission.
The members of the Publication Committee, who serve entirely without
compensation, simply ask in return subscriptions from those who are interested
in the matter contained in the Record and from those who are in sympathy
with its purposes.

odist Episcopal Church in 1859; was ordained Deacon, April 15, i860, in New
York City by Bishop Levi Scott, and was ordained Elder, April 13, 1862, at
Peekskill, N. Y., by Bishop Edward R.Ames. He was first appointed to the
charge of New Windsor Circuit in Orange County, and afterward to pastorates
at Mount Zion, North Castle and Amenia. From 1870 to 1873, he w;is engaged
in missionary work in New York City under the direction of the City Church
Extension and Missionary Society, and afterward was pastor of churches at
Hartsdale, Pine Plains, Warwick and New Castle. In 1883 he was appointed
pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Yonkers. During this pars
torate of three years he was instrumental in the erection of the present noble
house of worship of this church, having successfully initiated the movement
for the erection of the building and raised the funds needful for that purpose.
He also served this church as pastor in 1890, and was its nominal appointee in
1897 and 1898. In 1886 he became pastor of Grace M. E. Chnrch in New 'N nrk
City, and subsequently was pastor of the Fourty-fourth Street Church and the
church at Morris Heights, both in New York City. In 1895 he was appointed
Superintendent of St. Christopher's Home, Dobbs Ferry, in which office he re-
mained two years. His last pastorate was at Glenville, N. Y.
For a number of years Dr. Ketcham was president of the New York Con-
ference Temperance Society and also held other offices of trust in the Confer-
ence. He was a member of the New England Methodist Historical Society,
the Boston Methodist Historical Society, the New York Genealogical and Bio-
graphical Society, the New York Quill Club, and the Yonkers Historical
and Library Association, of which he was one of the founders. He was the
author of various books; was a large contributor to various religious periodi-
cals, and was the editor of the Preacher's Magazine. He received the honor-
ary degree of D.D. from Omaha University.
Dr. Ketcham "was a man preeminently modest and humble." "His
spirituality, refinement and gentleness profoundly impressed all who came
under his benign influence. He was lovable and beloved. By what he was as
well as by his voice and pen he made his brother men more Christlike." " In
the pulpit and out of it he was the Christian gentlemen seeking the welfare of
Church and State." He was moreover a wise and faithful pastor, an earnest
and efficient preacher, an able and prolific writer, and a man of unusual sweet-
ness of thought and disposition, refined and courteous to all. His life was
useful, successful and full of service and beauty.
He was married March 18, 1858, to Selina Bowers, daughter of James and
Eliza Bowers of New York City, who survives him. He left also a daughter,
Martha E., and a son, Wilbur Bowers Ketcham, who died March I, 1904.
Owen, Mrs. Thomas J., who was elected to this Society, Dec. 14, 1888,
died Aug. 21, 1001, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. George Stanton Fln\<l
Jones, Massapequa, L. I., in the seventy-second year of her age. Her maiden
name was Emilie Ketcham Piatt. She was born May 14, 1830, in New York
City, and was the daughter of Medad Piatt and Ann Eliza Gantz; grand-
daughter of Zophar Piatt and F'sther Piatt ( who bore the same surname as
her husband ); great-granddaughter of Jonas Piatt and Sarah Scudder, and
great-great-granddaughter of Isaac Piatt, of Milford, Conn., by his wife Ph
Smith, who were married, according to the town records of Milford, in 1640.
She was married March 1, 1840, in New York City, to Thomas Jefferson Owen,
son of Thomas Owen and Elizabeth Perry. He was born in New York City
and died there, May 1?, 1882. The remains of Mr. and Mrs. Owen rest in the
Owen vault in Greenwood Cemeterv.
140 Obituary. [April,
Whitney, William Collins, life member of this Society, died Feb. 2,
1904, at his residence, 871 Fifth Avenue, New York City, aged sixty-two years.
He was born July 5, 1841, at Conway, Franklin County, Mass., and was the son
of Gen. James Scollfiy Whitney and Laurinda Collins, daughter of William
Collins. His father was one of the most prominent Democrats of Massachu-
setts ; was Superintendent of the Springfield Armory under President Pierce,
and Collector of the Port of Boston under President Buchanan, and a successful
man of affairs. His grandfather, Stephen Whitney, of Conway, Mass., was
the son of Josiah Whitney and grandson of Gen. Josiah Whitney, of Harvard,
Mass., a colonel in the Revolutionary army. The latter was the fifth in
descent ( Richard, Richard, Richard, John) from John Whitney who came from
London in 1635 to Watertown, Mass., where he was selectman, town clerk and
a man of property. On his mother's side he was descended from Governor
William Bradford, of Plymouth Colony.
Mr. Whitney prepared for college at Williston Seminary, Easthampton,
Mass.; was graduated from Yale in 1863 and from the Harvard Law School in
1865. The same year he came to New York and entered the law office of
Abraham R. Lawrence, afterward Judge of the Supreme Court. The Tweed
ring was then in control of the city and Mr. Whitney joined the forces which
were fighting it. In 1871, together with Peter B. Olney, Henry Havemeyer and
others, he founded the Y'oung Men's Democratic Club of New York, whose
members attracted the attention of Samuel J. Tilden and became famous as his
"boys." He was one of the organizers and leaders of the County Democracy,
and in 1874 actively engaged in the campaign which resulted in the election of
Mr. Tilden as Governor of the State and Wm. H. Wickham as Mayor of the
City of New York. The latter appointed Mr. Whitney to the responsible
office of Corporation Counsel. It was in this position that he first exhibited
that remarkable ability which brought him later such high honors. He found
the office demoralized and inefficient. The city's interests were ill-defended
and suits were pending involving fifteen or twenty millions of dollars. He
called about him a group of young men and inspired them with his own
example. System succeeded disorder ; suits were ably and successfully tried,
and the city was saved many millions.
Returning in 1882 to private practice Mr. Whitney became counsel to a
number of corporations. But his interest in politics was as keen as ever and he
threw himself with his characteristic vigor and skill for organization into the
Blaine-Cleveland campaign of 1884. The day after President Cleveland's
inauguration he was called into the cabinet as Secretary of the Navy. Here
his genius for the management of great enterprises found an adequate field
and showed to signal advantage. The navy of the United States at that period
was about equal to that of Portugal. Except for the Chicago, the Atlanta and
the Dolphin, it was merely a collection of antiquated ships. When he left the
office in 1889 thirteen modern ships of war had been built and nine others were
under construction. The new navy was an accomplished fact and the work
for its betterment then begun has never ceased.
His term of office having expired Mr. Whitney returned to New York to
carry out a plan which he had formed for uniting the several surface railroads
of that city. The cars were then drawn by horses. Acquiring control of many
independent lines he consolidated them together, forming the corporation
known as the Metropolitan Street Railway Company. In 1892 there was
another Presidential election and Mr. Whitney, though himself the choice of
many influential Democrats, devoted himself with ardor to the fortunes of his
former chief. It was largely due to his skill and influence that Mr. Cleveland
received the nomination and was elected President for a second term. In 1896
he went to the Democratic convention at Chicago as a delegate and led the
unsuccessful fight to maintain the gold standard, but Mr. Bryan was nominated
upon a silver platform. When asked whether he would support the ticket
nominated, Mr. Whitney boldly replied: "There are no possible conditions or
circumstances that would induce me to vote for it, or assist it." He was never
afterward active in public affairs. For the last three years of his life he lived
retired from business as far as possible, enjoying his well earned leisure. His
sudden and untimely death caused universal sorrow, and called forth unusual
expressions of grief and words of praise from bis fellow-countrymen.

SOCIETY PROCEEDINGS
Summary of Reports
ok the Officers and Committees made at the Annual
Meeting, Jan. 8th, 1904.
The Society has cause to congratulate itself on its progress and prosperity
during the past year.
The following gentlemen were elected as Trustees for the Term 1904-I907:
Thomas Grier Kvans, George Austin Morrison, Jr., James Stokes.
Secretary Drowne reported a total membership of 415, being composed of
291 Annual, 115 Life and 9 Honorary, showing a loss from the previous year of
25 names.
The additions to the roll for 1903 consist of 12 Annual and 2 Life Mem-
bers. 10 Members died during the year of whom 3 were Life Members.
Seven meetings have been held at which interesting papers were read and
the attendance has as a rule been both large and satisfactory.
The papers read have also been unusually interesting. These meetings
are designed for the entertainment of the Members and their friends, rather
than for discussion of topics relevant to the work of this Society.
In January, Hon. Isaac Townsend Smith read a paper on " Capt. John
Underbill and Marquis Townsend: their place in History."
In February. Mr. Ripley Hitchcock delivered an address on "Pioneer
Types ot Western History."
In March, Miss Ida M. Tarbell read a paper entitled "The Ancestry and
Early Life of Abraham Lincoln," illustrated with stereopticon views.
In April, Professor Edwin A. Grosvenor, of Amherst College, read a paper
entitled " An old New England Town."
In May, Mr. William Winter spoke on "Joseph Jefferson and other
Comedians."
In November, Mr. Oliver Bainbridge, the traveller, made an address,
subject: "A Ramble through the South Si
In December, Mr. W. I. Scandlin closed the year with an illustrated lec-
ture on " Heroes of the Sea — The United States Life Saving Service."

est the members were as follows: The resignations of Mr. B. W. Pierson and
Mr. Herbert D Lloyd as members of the Board of Trustees and of the Execu-
tive Committee were accepted and Mr. George Austin Morrison, Jr., was
elected a member of the Board of Trustees, and Mr. John Reynolds Totten and
Mr. William Bunker members of the Executive Committee to serve out the

142 Society Proceedings. [April,
The mortgage of $5000.00 on the building was paid off, $1000.00 being bor-
rowed temporarily on a note to complete the needed sum.
The Treasurer, Mr. Gibson, reported the net assets of the Society, $59.-
944.51, being an increase over the preceeding year of $2,504.34. Cash balance
on hand Jan. 1, 1904, S107.81. Receipts from Annual Dues, $1,535.00, and from
Rentals, $2,547.75.
The Librarian, Mr. Tompkins, reported additions to the Library of 148
bound volumes, 169 pamphlets, 13 charts and 5 miscellaneous. The whole
number of books, pamphlets and charts is now 11,450. 1573 persons visited
the Library during the year. Reference was made to the resignation of the
Assistant Librarian, Mrs. Manning, and the securing of the services of Mrs.
F. E. Youngs in her place.
The report of the Historian, Dr. William Gray Schauffler called particular
attention to important and valuable contributions received from Dr. William
Austin Macy, of Willard, N. Y.
The Necrologist, Dr. Dwight, read appropriate obituary notices of the fol-
lowing persons: Mrs. Emily Warren Roebling, Mrs. Mary Wright Wooton,
Edward Herbert Noyes, Daniel Hoagland Carpenter, Sylvanus Jenkins Macy,
George West Van Siclen, William Earl Dodge, John Gelston Floyd, Andrew
Haswell Green, David Bradley Lee, Mrs. Cornelia C. Joy Dyer and Rev. Wil-
liam Ezra Ketcham.
The report of the Registrar of Pedigrees, Mr. Fitch, stated that 19 pedi-
grees had been handed in and urged that all members who had not filed
records should do so, or if already published, indicate where their pedigrees
may be found.
The Executive Committee, Mr. George Austin Morrison, Jr., Chairman,
reported the general condition of the property improved, the building kept in
good repair and a net gain in rentals over 1902 of $204.50. The sales of the
Dutch Church Baptismal Records have reached a very gratifying amount. It
was suggested that $500.00 be appropriated annually for desirable acquisitions
to the Library as soon as the Society shall be free from debt. Also that the
question of increasing the membership should receive serious consideration
and that strong and earnest efforts should be made in this direction in order to
further advance the good work of the Society.
The Publication Committee, Dr. Dwight, Chairman, reported that the
Record has been so enlarged that its yearly issue now numbers 338 instead of
283 pages; also called attention to interesting and important features of the
Record during 1903. It was stated that the Record had not quite paid for itself,
as in 1902, it having cost $1,306.00 to print and the receipts having been $770.00
from subscriptions and $392.00 from back numbers, leaving a deficit of S143.00;
that the increase of subscription price from $2.00 to $3.00 had been more than
offset by the increased cost of the larger publication, but that with determined
efforts to increase the list of subscribers this most important and advantageous
work of the Society could be financially successful.
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held Jan. 12th, 1904, the following
officers and committees were elected:
President, Thomas Grier Evans.
First Vice-President, Clarence Winthrop Bowen.
Second Vice-President, Edwin Henry Weatherbee.
Secretary, Henry Russell Drowne.
Treasurer, George Austin Morrison, Jr.
Librarian, John R. Totten.

NOTE.
Mr. Editor: We have received the Genealogical and Biographical
Record, and thank you for the article and portrait it contains. I would like to
correct one mistake however, regarding my father's ancestry — (he was not al-
together of Holland descent). His grandmother was Barbara Wood, a lineal
descendant of John Jenny and Sarah Carey (Pilgrims strictly), who were mar-
ried at Leyden, Nov. nth, 1614, and came to Plymouth, Mass., in the Little
James, 1623. Dr. Cole was married in 1844, not 1884.

^^AJP'^ His grandson, now living, is the owner of the
heraldic painting; the blazon is: — Argent a chev-
ron azure, between three eagle's heads erased sable, impaling gules a spear or
bend-wise, between two spur rowels of six points or. The silk on which the
arms are painted gives every indication of age, being torn and stained and the
tinctures faded.
The coat armor on the sinister half of the shield is doubtless that of Auch-
muty as given in Papivorlh's Ordinary. The arms on the dexter half are
presumably those of Overing, though it is a curious fact that no mention of the
name is made in the books on English heraldry to which the writer has had
access.
If any reader can give information relating to the pedigree and arms of
the Overing family in England, he will confer a favor by communicating the
particulars to this Magazine.
It may be added that the owner of the painting also possesses a seal, in-
herited from Capt. Henry Overing, bearing the arms: — Argent, a chevron
azure between three griffin' s heads erased, impaling gules a spear bendwise
between two spur rowels of six points. Crest: — A griffin's head erased.
John Overing the Attorney-General, is said to have come'to Boston about
1720; he married Elizabeth, the daughter of Mr. Williams of London, whose
wife was Anne Furness, of the family of Sir Henry Kurness of Waldershare,
Co. Kent. John Overing's second wife was Henrietta, daughter of Robert
Auchmuty, of Boston, Judge of the Admiralty: this would seem to explain the
impaling of the Auchmuty arms.

BOOK NOTICES.
History of the Penrose Family of Philadelphia. Josiah Gran-
ville Leach, LL. B. Philadelphia. Published for private circulation by
Drexe! Biddle, Publisher. 1903. 8vo, cloth, pp. 163. Price $10.00.
This is the history of Bartholomew Penrose and his descendants. The
American founder of the line was undoubtedly of Cornish stock, and, prior to
his arrival in Philadelphia, resided at Bristol, England, where he was engaged,
with his brother Thomas, in ship-building. He arrived in Philadelphia about
1700, and about 1706 began the construction of the ship " Diligence," in which
William Penn, James Logan and William Trent were interested, and of
which Mr. Penrose became master. He did not long survive his arrival in
America, but died in 171 1, leaving four children, and is buried in the ground of
Christ Church, with which parish his family long remained identified. The
handsome volume before us presents many records of famous Philadelphia
families who intermarried with the Penrose line. The footnotes trace the
wives' pedigrees and furnish many other genealogical items of value. The
book is well bound, printed on fine paper, and has many family portraits of
historic interest, besides other illustrations, including a fine representation in
color of the Penrose coat of arms.
Genealogy of the Estabrook Family, including the Ester-
brook and Easterbrooks in the U. S. William Booth Estabrook.
Ithaca. Andrus & Church. 1891. 8vo, cloth, pp. 359.
This genealogy, although not of recent date, has just been presented to
the Society and is so good that we are glad to call attention to it. It traces the
families of Rev. Joseph, Thomas, William, John, Elijah, Thomas, Isaac and
Richard Estabrook, whose surnames are spelled differently and are separately
indexed. There is an appendix with extracts from English records and there
are several illustrations.
Family Record of Dr. Seth Hastings, Senior, of Clinton,
Oneida County, N. Y. By the late Francis H. Hastings of Rochester, N. Y.
Edited by his daughter. Cincinnati. Earhart & Richardson. 1899. 8vo,
pp. 202.
This family record begins with an account of Dea. Thomas Hastings of
Watertown, who arrived there in 1634. The work is divided into chapters,
dealing thus with important branches. A most touching and beautiful custom
is established in the Family Covenant of Dr. Seth Hastings, Sr., on page 21,
which is too long for quotation. The various appendices contain matter of
interest, especially the second, which presents a Colonial love letter.

The Eells Family of Dorchester, Massachusetts, in the Line
of Nathaniel Eells, of Middletown, Connecticut, 1633— 1821. With
notes on the Lenthall Family. Compiled by Frank Farnsworth Starr for
James J. Goodwin. Hartford. 1903. Quarto cloth, pp. 218.
This monograph on the Eells family is divided into five sections. That on

registers, wills and administrations, close rolls, chancery proceedings and sub-
sidy rolls. The other headings are : The Eells family in America, the
Lenthall family, index to English notes, and index to American notes. The
volume contains, therefore, all available information on the ancestry and des-
cendants of Samuel Eells, son of the first American forefather, and Samuel's
wife, Anna Lenthall. The American index is particularly fine, identifying
persons by the year of birth, and in the case of women, the maiden name is
given in parenthesis and the married name in italics. The fact of this book
being compiled under the auspices of Mr. Goodwin places it at once among
the standard genealogies.
Thirty-first Report, Boston Records. Boston Town Records.
1784 — 1796. Edward W. McGlenen, City Registrar. Boston. 1003. 8vo,

interest are the arrangements for Independence Day orations.
Golden Wedding of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Jessup. 1853— 1903.
Theodore Jessup, 259 South Clinton Street, Chicago. 1903. Sq. octovo,
pamphlet, pp. 32.
This is a pleasant account of a family reunion, with a summary of the
events of fifty years. The pamphlet also contains ancestral charts of William
Armstrong Jessup and Mary Jane Van Duzer, his wife, and a sketch of Daniel
Jessup and his descendants. The author desires all possible information on
the Jessup, Seely, Van Duzer and Jennings lines.

This Ohio Chapter has set a fine example to its fellows in thus perpetu-
ating local history. The volume contains the biographies, alphabetically
arranged, of 84 soldiers buried in Lake County, who came from various parts
of the country ; and three pages of names of those buried in Geauga County.
The book is attractively bound in dark blue cloth, with the Society's emblem
stamped in white on the front cover, and white lettering. There are several
excellent illustrations.
l 'A History of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, 1741 — 1892. With some
Account of its Founders and their Early Activity in America.
Joseph Mortimer Levering, Bishop of the Moravian Church. Issued as a
memorial volume by the Sesqui-Centennial Committee of the Moravian Con-
gregation of Bethlehem. Times Publishing Co. 1903. 8vo, cloth, pp. xiv+
809. Profusely illustrated. Price $4.00.
No adequate history of this interesting town having being written, andi
because of newspaper publicity, a considerable amount of fiction having been
disseminated, the Moravian Society has taken from its records and here pre-
sented to us, a notable volume. Teeming with incident, the narrative tells of
life-long misunderstanding and persecution, which only served to intensify
community feeling and characteristics. In its dealings with the outer world,
the community came in contact with most of the noted men of the day, of
whom many interesting facts are told. The book is valuable for reference for
its lists of members, with biographical sketches, its old maps, its many por-
traits and its triple index.

Win. H. Hendrickson. Newtown. 1902. 8vo, cloth, pp. 71. Price $1.25.
Two hundred and titty years ago a few English emigrants from New Eng-
land settled on Long Island, calling their new home Middleburg, for it was not
named Newtown until 166;. They were from Greenwich, Stamford, Fairfield
and other villages along the Connecticut shore, from Boston and Salem, Mass.,
and from Hempstead, L. I. Among them was the Rev. John Moore, a Presby-
terian minister from Hempstead, who, with his flock, founded the religious
body whose anniversary is thus commemorated. Supplementary to the nar-
rative history are lists of ministers, elders and members which are useful
material for genealogists. The book is well illustrated.

Grafton, Vt. Compiled by Edwin H. Park. Denver. Bartow & Ray Print.
1902.
After the family had dwelt in Connecticut for nearly 150 years, the branch
of which Hezekiah Parke was the head removed to Vermont, settling at Tom-
linson, now Grafton. This record deals with the line of which the author says,
" It has become tradition that no Park was ever convicted of a crime, or ever
held a public office." There is a good triple index, the Park, identifying per-
sons by dates; Park descendants of other names; and Park consorts.

Portland. Smith & Sale, Printers. 8 vo, pamphlet, pp. 194.
The compiler of this genealogy has adopted a system of notation which is
complicated in appearance, but not difficult to understand, and which seetns to
work well. He traces nine generations of descendants, who were a homekeep-
ing people, and have always been most strongly represented in the old home
town of Marshtield.

Concerning Book Plates. A Handbook for Collectors. Zella Allen
Dixson, A.M. Chicago. Wisteria Cottage Press. 1903. 8vo, Art Linen, pp.
ix-t-217. Price, $3.50.
It is a far cry from chained-up books to free circulating libraries. Some-
where between the two appears the Book-Plate, like a beneficent fairy,
protecting the interests of both. The Book-Plate has its castes. Between the
knightly emblem, bearing its coat of arms, and the plain and uncompromising
"Steal not this book my honest friend, for fear the gallows will be your end,"
are many degrees of rank. This handbook treats of special examples of these,
as well as of book-plate artists, societies, collections and other cognate matters.
It is a beautiful book, a delight to eye and hand, from its wisteria-hung sign on
the cover, to its last compact, clear, fascinating page. In its typography and
press-work, the book is Miss Dixon's craft work, and she may feel justly proud
of the result.
The Larimer, McMasters and Allied Families. Rachel H. L.
Mellon. Philadelphia. Printed for Private Circulation by J. B. Lippincott

the Larimer, Sheakley, McCurdy, Creighton, McMasters, Hughey, King,
McLaughlin and Irwin families, with separate chapters devoted to marriages,
deeds, wills and other matters relating to these well-known Pennsylvanians.
It is fully and handsomely illustrated with many portraits and photographs of
the homes of different members of the family.

time, told with an ease and charm that make it delightful reading.
A Memoir of the Marine Society of the City of New York,
in the State of New York. New York. Printed for the Society by John
Polhemus Printing Company. 1903. 8 vo, flexible leather, pp. 97.
The Marine Society is a Guild of Seamen, whose only object is charity.
Its noble history, beginning with its foundation in 176Q, is modestly told in this
beautful volume. There is a valuable roster of officers and members (masters
of vessels) with date of admission to the Society, covering 53 papers.
Historical Papers No. X of the Historical Society of Newburgh
Bay and the Highlands. Newburgh. 1903. 8 vo, pamphlet, pp. 50.
This number, beside the account of the annual meeting, contains grave-
yard inscriptions in the Bond Family Burying Ground, and the Gardnertown M.
E. Church Cemetery, and articles on The King's Highway and the Ancient
Newburgh Family of Cornelius Wood. There is also an Obituary Record of
the late MacLeod Rogers. This Society is doing a work in preserving town
records which should be emulated throughout New York State. There could
be no better public service rendered by country chapters of historical or
patriotic societies than printing their local vital records, and one wonders why
it is not more systematically done.

details of early life and character which one reads with keen interest. There

State ok Missouri, 1901-1903. Compiled by Henry Cadle, Secretary. St.
Louis. Woodward & Tiernan Printing Co. 1903. 8 vo, cloth, pp. 232.
This is an imposing volume both in size and appearance, bound in Conti-
nental blue and buff, and containing portraits of many of the present-day
wearers of the honors of 'Seventy-Six, who are members of the Missouri
Society. This portrait number should be of permanent interest for many
reasons, among them being that it is a unique venture of the Society. The
organization in Missouri has 395 members, representing 512 ancestors, and is
in a flourishing condition, The book has, as frontispiece, a fine reproduction
in color of the flag of the Sons of the Revolution, which is followed by general
information pertaining to the Society, amongst other things an account of
Medals of Honor annually awarded by the organization for papers on assigned
topics. A roster of ancestors and descendents, and forty-three pages of
necrology close the volume.

This volume, which is in part a reprint from the Register, contains brief
records of nearly all male descendants of John Partridge, of Medfield, Mass., for
six generations. It is thorough and business-like in its records, giving refer-
ences in brackets after important facts, and commending itself to the reader by
its excellent index. Good features of the index are, in the case of the Part-
ridge descendants, the generation number after each name, and the married
name or names in brackets after those of the women. There are two illustra-
tions, one of the Patridge Manor House, Wishanger, Gloucestershire, England,
and the other a fac-simile of the will of John Beebe.

1777-1870. Louis Preston Summers, member of the Virginia Historical Society.
Richmond. J. L. Hill Printing Co. 1903. 8vo, cloth, pp. 921. Price, S2. 50.
Beginning with a general outline of explorations and settlements in Vir-
ginia in the general westward trend of civilization, the author proceeds in a
most thorough and satisfactory way to develop the history of a section of that
great State which should be better known than has hitherto been the case.
The bonk is written in an easy and interesting style, and contains lists of set-
tlers, with date, name and area of their lands; rosters of troops; maps; returns
of killed and wounded in battle; electoral tickets and names of electors; civil
lists; surveyors' records; biographical sketches, and much other valuable mat-
ter, with index. The author has done a good work in printing all the facts
obtainable, and leaving the reader to choose for himself out of this storehouse
what he will use. The book is worth more than the advertised price.

Family of Rev. Solomon Mead. Their Record from Christmas, 1725

the Mead Memorial Association, Ridgefield, Conn. 1902. Ob., S. cloth, pp.
307. Price, $2.00.
The Rev. Solomon Mead was descended from William Mead, who
arrived in America in 1635, an d finally settled in Greenwich, Conn. The sub-
ject of this record was born in 1725; settled in South Salem, 1752; was lifelong
pastor of the church he founded, and died in 1812. The book has an interest-
ing preliminary account of the family, past and present, illustrated by numer-
ous cuts. The genealogical pages alone are numbered. In them the names are
printed, but the dates and other facts are all in manuscript, beautifully done,

and so evidently a labor of love, that one guesses at the spirit which sustained
the writer through many laborious hours. The system used is, that families or
individuals whose record is concluded are closely grouped and marked (X), all
having their generation indicated by Roman numbers. References are made
from the parent families by succeeding page numbers, counting forward only.

Company. 1903. Quarto, cloth, pp. xvi+371. Price, $7.50.
It is easy to be wise after the event, and nothing is more tempting or more
futile than to point out what might have been. If our forefathers had had
more toleration, and had conciliated the French habitants of Canada; if the
Canadians had been willing to throw off their yoke of oppression instead of
waiting for these colonies to do it for them, the War for Independence might
never have happened. England would hardly face a continent in arms. But
it was no time for patience and clear sight in the noise and dust of debate as to
whether we dare defy the stern mother of our land. So we struck Canada in-
stead of embracing her; and who so fit a leader for this dramatic venture as
Benedict Arnold ? Daring, seif-confident, energetic, popular, this brilliant
captain inspired his men; and what they braved and suffered together, from the
"Terrible Carry" to the end of the siege, needs Mr. Codman's vivid words to
tell. This author, in order to enter into his tale with sympathy, followed the
trail of the army on foot and by canoes, picturing, no doubt, the quaint old-time
figures toiling before him, painfully yet sturdily fronting the wildeness, with
its manifold dangers and sufferings which had so humiliating an end. Mr.
Codman's life was sacrificed as a result of the hardships and exposure of this
journey; and, so dying, he leaves a significant commentary on this great work
of his life; that in this age, as in that, men can see a vision, and give up life
itself for its sake.
Wheat Genealogy. A History of the Wheat Family in America, with
a brief account of the Name and Family in England and Normandy. Vol. I.
Silas C. Wheat. Brooklyn, I903. 8vo, pamphlet, pp. 122. Price, $2.00.
This author has used a clear and interesting system of notation, number-
ing each family in heavy-faced type, and numbering the children in each group
beginning with I. Each child in founding his own branch, is recognized by his
father's family number in heavy-faced type followed by his own birth-number
in lighter type. Footnotes are headed with the family number followed by let-
ters of the alphabet. The wife's line is given in most instances, as the author
ascribes the variation of character in different brandies to the influence of the
maternal family. The work is well illustrated and has a good triple index.
The second volume, tracing an unfinished line begun in Vol. I, will shortly
appear.

Chronicles of a Pioneer School from 1792 to 1833. Being the
History of Miss Sarah Pierce, and her Litchfield School. Com-
piled by Emily Noyes Vanderpoel, Vice-President of the Litchfield Historical
Society. Edited by Elizabeth C. Barney Buel, A. B. Printed by the Univer-
sity Press, Cambridge, Mass. 1003. ovo, cloth, pp. 465. 65 illustrations.
Price, S3."iO.
Quaint, charming, breathing the atmosphere of lavender, soft rustlings of
muslin and little sober footfalls sound through these pages. Their gentle
ghosts tell us, mostly in capitals, of Rules copied by the Young Ladies, of ele-
vated little dramatic : efforts, of journals scrupulously kept, ol demure festivi-
ies earned by good conduct. There must have been a great searching of old
attics on rainy days, and bringing forth of old treasures, to make this book the
facinating record it is of one of our famous early schools. The old school reg-
isters, with their remarks opposite the pupils names, are especially valuable.
The illustrations give additional life and zest to this delightful volume. One
lays the book down wishing one's great-grandmother had lived in Litchfield
and gone to Miss Pierce's school, so that one might imagine her doing all the
interesting things recorded here.

WILLIAM COLLINS WHITNEY.
Bv James Grant Wilson.
William Collins Whitney (1841-1904), like so many others
whose names will be indissolubly associated with the history of
the City of New York, was of New England origin. On the
paternal side he was descended from John Whitney who came
from England to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635, and on
his mother's side could trace his descent from Governor William
Bradford of the Plymouth Colony. In him met, therefore, the
somewhat differing traits of Puritan and Pilgrim. He was born
July 5th, 1841, in Conway, Franklin County, Massachusetts, and
was the son of James Scollay Whitney and Laurinda Collins,
daughter of William Collins, after whom he was named. On the
father's side he came from an English knightly family which as
early as the thirteenth century was established at Whitney in
Herefordshire, from which estate it took its name. Through in-
termarriage with the Baskervilles and Touchetts the Whitneys
of Whitney were descended from the earls of Hereford and Kent,
and their descendants can thus claim the blood of some of those
whose names are familiar in early English history. His father
was one of the most prominent and influential citizens of Mas-
sachusetts and was at one period the leader of the Massachusetts
Democracy. Under President Pierce he was superintendent of
the United States Arsenal at Springfield, the first citizen to be
appointed to that responsible office, and was afterward appointed
by President Buchanan collector of the Port of Boston. In i860,
he was delegate at large to the Democratic National Convention
which met at Charleston, S. C, and in 1876 was president of the
state convention which nominated Charles Francis Adams for
Governor of Massachusetts. In early life he took an active part
in military affairs and when only twenty-four years old was hon-
ored with a commission as Brigadier-General of the Second
Brigade of the Fourth Division of the Massachusetts' Militia.
Gen. James Scollay Whitney was the son of Stephen Whitney
of South Deerfield. His mother was Mary A. Burgess, daughter
of Dr. Benjamin Burgess of Goshen, Mass. Her sister married
Mitchell Dawes and was the mother of Henry L. Dawes, United
11
154 William Collins Whitney. [July,
States Senator from Massachusetts. Stephen Whitney was the
son of Josiah Whitney and the grandson of General Josiah Whit-
ney, both of Harvard, Mass., and soldiers of the Revolution.
Gen. Whitney, whose mother was Hannah Whitcomb, a relative
of Col. Asa Whitcomb of Lancaster, Mass., inherited a fondness
for military affairs. In i 755 he marched in Col. Whitcomb's reg-
iment against the French and Indians and was in the bloody bat-
tle of Lake George, Sept. 8, 1755, when Dieskau at the head of a
superior force was signally defeated by the undisciplined valor of
the New England yeomanry led by Gen. Phineas Lyman. At
the outbreak of the Revolution he was appointed Lieut. -Colonel
of the regiment commanded by Col. Asa Whitcomb which was
the largest of the twenty-six Massachusetts regiments at the
siege of Boston, and in 1777 he became Colonel of a regiment
raised for the defence of Boston harbor. He represented Har-
vard in the state legislature for several years and in 1788 was
delegate to the convention held in Boston for the purpose of rat-
ifying the Federal Constitution. Richard Whitney of Harvard,
the father of Gen. Whitney, was the son of Richard Whitney,
who was the son of another of the same name, who was the son
of John Whitney who came in 1635 from London to New Eng-
land and settled at Watertown, Mass., where he was selectman,
town clerk and a man of property. He was the son of Thomas
Whitney, gentleman, of Westminster, England, son of Robert
Whitney and grandson of Sir Robert Whitney of Whitney, Here-
fordshire, England, by his wife Sybil, daughter of James Basker-
ville of Eardesley in Herefordshire.*
Mr. Whitney prepared for college at Williston Seminary,
Easthampton, Mass., and entered Yale in 1859, graduating with
honors in the class of 1863. Among his classmates was William
G. Sumner, afterward Professor Sumner of Yale University, and
Oliver Payne of Ohio. Between them Whitney and Sumner
shared the prize for English essays, but in the election for class
orator the former was successful over the other. In the autumn
of 1863 he entered the Harvard Law School whence he was grad-
uated in 1865, and he then entered the law office of Abraham R.
Lawrence in New York City. In his profession he was very suc-
cesssful, speedily acquiring a large practice. In 1869 he was
married to Miss Flora B. Payne, the sister of his college friend,
Payne, and two years later began to concern himself actively in
politics. William M. Tweed was then at the height of his power
in New York, and Whitney, joining the opposition movement,
was the chief organizer of the Young Men's Democratic Club.
His efforts brought him to the favorable notice of Samuel J.
Tilden, who is said to have regarded him as the ablest political
protdgd he ever had. The organization known as the Apollo Hall
was next organized by Mr. Whitney, and he was the unsuccess-
ful candidate of that organization for District Attorney in 1872.
He then became prominent as a leader of the County Democracy,
was appointed inspector of schools, and took an active part in

the campaign of 1S74, the result of which was the election of
Tilden as Governor and Wickham as Mayor of New York. Mr.
Whitney was appointed Corporation Counsel by Mayor Wick-
ham, a position he held until [88a, when he returned to his priv-
ate practise. While Corporation Counsel he administered affairs
so judiciously as to save the City seme ten or twelve millions of
dollars. As a result of the Tweed regime about 3,800 suits were
pending against the City, fifteen or twenty millions being thus
involved. Mr. Whitney succeeded in securing a discontinuance
of many of these suits and compromised others, while by system-
atizing the work of his office a saving of nearly two millions was
effected the first year.
After returning to private practice he became counsel to var-
ious important corporations and soon took high rank as a cor-
poration lawyer. He did not, however, lose his interest in poli-
tics, and during the presidential campaign of 1884, did much in
the way of organization to secure the election of Mr. Cleveland.
In the March following Mr. Whitney became Secretary of the
Navy in Mr. Cleveland's cabinet, and at the time of his death
many careless eulogists credited him with being the " Fathei
the New Navy," a title to distinction that Mr. Whitney never
claimed. The creation of the new navy began with the appoint-
ment of the Naval Advisory Board in 1881, was carried on by
Secretaries Hunt and Chandler, and continued by Mr. Whitney,
who is justly entitled to a portion of the credit.
By the act of Aug. 5, 1882, CongTess authorized the construc-
tion of two steam steel cruisers, the steel to be of domestic man-
ufacture. One of these cruisers was to have between 5,000 and
6,000 tons displacement; the other between 4,000 and 4,300 tons.
No appropriation was voted, and at the following session the
building programme was modified. The act of March 3, 1883,
provided for the construction of three steel cruisers— one of 4,000
tons, two of about 2,500 tons and one iron dispatch boat. The
ships designed and built under this act were the Chicago, the
Boston, the Atlanta and the Dolphin. At the time of their com-
pletion the Cleveland administration had come in, and as ex-Sec-
retary John D. Long points out in his recently published volumes
on The New American Navy, one of the least creditable acts of
that administration " was Its unjust depreciation of some of these
ships — a depreciation which, by their splendid record of long and
efficient service, has been shown to be utterly unfounded or
founded only on mistaken partisanship."
Leaving this aside. Secretary Whitney in his four years
as Secretary, from 1885 to 1889, played a eonspicious and
effective role in the creation of our modern navy. His greatest
achievement was the negotiation of armor plate contracts which
made possible the establishment at South Bethlehem of a domes-
tic armor plate plant. He showed a keen, practical and patriotic
interest in the work he was charged with carrying on. He en-
larged and improved the new navy. But he did not originate it.
On the expiration of his term in the cabinet, Mr. Whitney
gave himself to an enterprise he had had for some time in mind —
I 56 William Collins Whitney. [July.
the consolidation of the street railways of Manhattan, and acquir-
ing, with others, control of various independent roads, he estab-
lished the Metropolitan Street Railway Company. His remark-
able skill as an organizer displayed in other fields ere this was
equally apparent in the present enterprise, and a brilliant com-
mercial success followed his efforts. His estimates of men, his
quick and sound decisions and his ability to foresee conditions
stood him instead as much in business enterprises as in public
office. He lost no time in waiting for opportunities — he pre-
ferred to create them.
In the campaign of 1892 Mr. Whitney's political abilities were
brought into fullest exercise. He was himself the choice for the
presidency on the part of many who were prominent in the Dem-
ocratic ranks, and it is quite possible that he might have been the
candidate of the party had he been willing to accept the nom-
ination. Two opposite conditions however, were soon discover-
able in the Democratic body, the one a desire for Mr. Cleveland's
renomination, the other an organized opposition against him in
favor af another presidential possibility. At once Mr. Whitney
laid aside all personal ambition and devoted himself with a
splendid loyalty to the cause of his former chief. The " snap
convention" in New York, as it was termed, had by this time
chosen a delegation in opposition to Mr. Cleveland, and initial
movements looking to the same end were being started in other
states. Mr. Whitney promptly summoned prominent Demo-
cratic leaders from his own and other states to a private confer-
ence at his house in New York. No report of the doings of this
conference reached the public, yet it is known that at this meet-
ing the whole work of the forthcoming Chicago convention was
carefully outlined, and each man's part assigned him, no details
being left to the inspiration of the moment. At the convention
itself everything fell out as had been planned, and Mr. Cleveland
was nominated on the first ballot as the conference had prev-
iously determined. It is unnecessary to say that after the elec-
tion of Mr. Cleveland Mr. Whitney could have had any office
within the gift of the President-elect that he wished, but satis-
fied with the knowledge that he had led his party to victory, he
declined all offers of office and once more took up his varied
business interests.
The close of the campaign of 1892 marks the retirement of
Mr. Whitney from the political arena. Yet in 1896 he consented
to become a delegate to the Democratic convention in Chicago
and exerted all the influence at his command to stem the free
silver tide and prevent the nomination of Mr. Bryan. His dis-
satisfaction with the platform and ticket adopted by the conven-
tion was very freely expressed. When asked whether he would
support the ticket nominated, he boldly replied: "There are no
possible conditions or circumstances that would induce me to
vote for it or assist it." It was hoped by some of his friends
after the election of 1900 that he might consent to become the
presidential candidate of a reorganized Democratic party, but at
Saratoga in Aug., 1902, he announced that he had retired from
igo4-) William Collins Whitney. I 57
all politics, saying: " I will never again be a candidate for any
office ami my friends may as well understand this first as last. I
msan what I say "
One of the latest business enterprises in which Mr. Whit
was engaged was the organization of the New York Electric
Light, Heat and Power Company, with a capital of fifty million
This was not accomplished without opposition from the Consol-
idated Gas Company, and the final result of the struggle was the
acquirement of the New York Electric Light, Heat and Power
Company, by the Consolidated Gas Company, Mr. Whitney and
several of his associates in the former enterprise now becoming
directors in the consolidated company. In 1901, upon arriving
at his sixtieth birthday, he announced his intention of retiring
from business in order to spend the rest of his days in the pleas
hits of leisure. Few men possessed ampler equipment for the en-
joyment of existence. He was a man of the most varied interests,
gifted with a highly cultivated mind and the capacity for attach-
ing friends most firmly to him; possessed also with broad and
generous sympathies, and a fortune beyond the dreams of avarice.
No man in the new world possessed more estates than Mr.
Whitney. Besides his palacial mansion on Fifth Avenue he
owned a country seat at Roslyn, Long Island, including an estate
of five thousand acres, with a covered race track and what have
been called the finest training stables in the country. In the
Berkshire Hills he had a summer home with seven hundred acres
of land attached to it, and he was also the owner of October
Mountain at Lenox, comprising ten thausand acres. His Adiron-
dack game preserve included sixteen thousand acres. He had a
farm in the Kentucky blue grass region comprising three thous-
and acres; at Aiken he owned an estate of two thousand acres
with a house and race course, and to all these must be added his
lodge at Blue Mountain Lake with a golf course, and his shooting
box in England. The October Mountain estate and the Adiron-
dack game preserve may be said to have been held in trust for
the public benefit. His ownership of the former secured its re-
maining a forest tract and a perpetual delight to the eye from
many points of view in its neighborhood, while his still larger
Adirondack estate formed a factor in the movement to preserve
the forests in northren New York for the husbanding of the
water supply.
Mr. Whitney was eminently social in his nature and one is not
surprised to find that he belonged to the Metropolitan, Union,
Knickerbocker, Manhattan. University, Century, New York
Yacht, Jockey, Suburban Riding and Driving, and Automobile
Clubs, as well as to the Country Club of Westchester. He was
also a member of the Mayflower, the New England, the New
York Genealogical, and the New York Zoological Societies, as
well as of the American Museum of Natural History, the Metro-
politan Museum of Art and the Chamber of Commerce. The
breadth of his sympathies and the extent of his interests are in-
adequately indicated by this list, not wholly complete, of his
estates and the long roli of clubs and societies of which he was a
I I A
158 William Collins Whittiey. [July,
member. They serve to show that his aspirations were not lim-
ited merely to the acquiring of a vast fortune, the pursuit of
pleasure, or of politics. He gave a due proportion of his atten-
tion te all, but entire absorption in any one of them was guarded
against, and, we believe, would have been for him impossible. It
is not given every man to achieve a well rounded career, but in
Mr. Whitney's case it seems to have been accomplished. It
would be difficult to name any American who secured more out
of life in proportion to his opportunities and abilities, and who
made at the same time adequate return to society and to his
country.
It was not merely as a man of wealth that he was so gener-
ally esteemed. Not a few of his contemporaries possessed for-
tunes equal in amount to his own, and there were some whose
fortunes were greater. In common with many others he pos-
sessed the' instincts which lead men to acquire, but these were
supplemented and tempered by the more gracious qualities which
gathered about him an ever widening circle of devoted friends,
and inspired him with the desire to promote the happiness and
success of those with whom he had to do.
Said ex-President Cleveland, on hearing of the death of his
friend and former Secretary of the Navy: " Mr. Whitney had
more calm, forceful efficiency than any man I ever knew. In
work that interested him he actually seemed to court difficulties
and to find pleasure and exhilaration in overcoming them. His
judgment was quick, clear and astonishingly acurate, and when
it was called into action his mental poise was so complete that
neither passion nor irritation could lead it astray." These are
the words of a faithful friend, and one who shared the same
political opinions, but men who differed very widely from Mr.
Whitney have been prompt to add their testimony to his efficiency
in the public service. In the course of a speech delivered in the
United States Senate on Feb. 12, 1889, his political opponent,
Preston B. Plumb of Kansas, paid him the following tribute, as
sincere as it was well deserved:
" I am glad to say in the closing hours of Mr. Whitney's ad-
ministration that the affairs of his department have been well
administered. They have been well administered not only in the
sense that everything has been honestly and faithfully done, but
there has been a stimulous given, so far as it could be done by
executive direction, to the production of the best types of ships
and the highest form of manufacture, and, more than all that, to
the encouragement of the inventive genius of our people and to
the performance of all possible work not in navy-yards, where
they might be most surely made the instrument of political
strength, but in private shipyards and manufactories, to the
effect that we have got to-day enlisted in this good work of
building the American navy not only the navy department backed
by Congress, but we have got the keen competition of American
manufactories and the inventive genius of all our people, so that
wc may confidently expect not only the best results but great
improvement each year. I am glad to say that during the past
1904.] Edward Fuller and His Descendants. \ 50
four years the navy department has been administered in a prac-
tical, level-headed, judicious way, and the result is such that I
am prepared to believe and to say that within ten years we shall
have the best navy in the world."
It is much indeed that a man's friends should hasten to speak
well of him, for their praises come from the heart, but it is a still
greater tribute to worth when those who did not call themselves
his friends, and who in many things were ranged among his op-
ponents, utter their sincere commendations also.
Much regret has been expressed by many prominent men that
Mr. Whitney abandoned public life, for which he was so admir-
ably fitted, and should have devoted his great powers to the mere
accumulation of wealth, in which he was bewilderingly successful.
But what is his fame compared with Cleveland's, whose successor
he might have been? Whitney could deal with men and events
He had the force and temper, and he knew how. His public ser-
vices were important and they might, had he been so minded,
have been more so. But he abandoned his opportunities of pub-
lic distinction for another and less famous field of activity — the
acquisition of a great fortune. He made millions — not to hoard,
but to spend freely and indeed lavishly, in vast estates, in prince-
ly palaces, in superb paintings and statues, in celebrated horses
and herds of wild animals. He was also a generous and kind
man. In well-considered words Mr. Cleveland speaks of Mr
Whitney's "'devotion to his friends, his extreme consideration for
all with whom he came in contact, his thoughtfulness for the
ease and comfort of others, and his ready impulse to help those
who needed help." To this tribute from the ex-President, the
present writer may perhaps be permitted to add, that he never
sought Mr. Whitney's assistance in behalf of any worthy object,
that it was not given promptly and generously.

Family Record of Solomon Drowne.
171
FAMILY RECORD OF SOLOMON DROWNE.
Contributed by Henry R. Drowne.
This interesting family record is published to correct an
error that has been made in the Drowne family genealogy, where-
in Solomon Drowne, son of Leonard, born Jan. 23, 1681, died Oct.
9, 1730, married Esther Jones, Nov. 8, 1705 (born Aug. 18, 1687
and died July 26, 1744) is quoted as having had twelve children.
It would seem that the Bristol Registry is responsible for the
error, that Solomon Drowne and Esther (or Hester) had a son
Solomon, born Oct. 4., 1700, and also a son Solomon, born Oct. 4,
1706. A copy made from this Registry about a century ago for
Dr. Solomon Drowne (of the Revolution) reads "Solomon
Drowne, son of Solomon Drowne and Hester his wife was born
at one of the clock in the morning of Oct. 4, 1706" (not 1700 as
now printed in the Bristol Registry) and contains but one of
these entries of birth in connection with those of the other children.
Furthermore Solomon and Esther were not married until 1705.
This corrects statement published on p. 215 of the Record under
date of July, 1886, and shows the births of the eleven children.
Verbatim copy of the original which was written on both sides
of a long strip of paper.
