R. BURNHAM MOFFAT. 



CONTRIBUTKD BY OtTO C. WIERUM, Jr. 



R. Burnham Moffat, m annual member of this Society since 
1898, met a mercifully i^istant death in an automobile accident 
near Plainville, Connectii ut, on June 21, 1916. '" " "" 

His Moffat ancestors were minor barons and freeholders on 
the Scottish border from the twelfth to the sixteenth century, 
followers of Wallace and later of the Bruce, under whose ban- 
ner they fought at Ban;icckburn. A good fighting stock, but it 
was nearly wiped out by the rival clan of Johnstone, in a series 
of neighborly quarrels terminating in a fairly successful effort 
of the Johnstor.es to burn up the Moffats gathered for council 
and prayer. This was about the middle of the sixteenth century, 
and thereafter not much is known of individual Moffats, until 
Samuel of the name is found fighting with the Covenanters 
against Monmouth at the battle of Bothwell Bridge (1679). 
Samuel the Covenanter made his escape to Ireland after Mon- 
mouth's victory, and thence to the American colonies, where 
in 1710, he is recorded as being admitted to membership in the 
Presbyterian Church at Woodbridge, New Jersej'. 

Samuel Moffat had two sons and several grandsons, who 
settled at various places in New York and New Jersey. The 
youngest grandson, John, was one of seven graduates "admitted 
to the Degree of Batchelors of the arts" in 1749. at the second 
Commencement of the College of New Jersey, now Princeton 
University. The following year he married Margaret, daughter 
of the Rev'd John Little, of Little Britain, and in 175 1, he is 
settled as minister of the Goodwill Church in what is now Ulster 
County, New York. Theological difficulties compelled his re- 
tirement from the ministry in 1769, and from that time until 
his death in 1788, he conducted a school at Little Britain. 

The grandson of John Moffat and Margaret Little, John Little 
by name, was born two days after the premature death of his 
father. Within a week he was motherless, and two months later 
his grandfather died. He married Hannah Curtis, daughter of 
Reuben Curtis, of Danbury, Connecticut. He made and lost 



2 R. Bum/tarn .\foffj.t. [Jan. 

three fortunes. About 1835, he moved to Georgia, where he 
owned and operated a gold mine. In 1849, he caught the fever 
of the day and crossed the plains to the Pacific Coast. Here he 
filled the delicate and responsible post of assayer for the United 
States Government, with an unswerving integrity long remem- 
bered to his honor. He was the father of fourteen children, of 
whom the fifth was Reuben Curtis, father of the subject of this 
sketch. 

Reuben Curtis Moffat, born in 1818, was widely known and 
greatly loved as a physician of the homoeopathic school in 
Brooklyn, upon whom in 1883, the Regents of the University of 
the State of New York conferred an honorary degree of Doctor 
of Medicine, in recognition of his profound learning and his dis- 
tinction among the physicians of the State. He married in 
1852, Elizabeth Virginia Barclay, daughter of George Brinley 
Barclay and Abigail Shaw. 

Their si.xth child, R. Burnham Moffat, was born in Brooklyn, 
January 7, 1861. His life was worthy of the sturdy and honor- 
able race from which he came. He got his schooling at the 
Adelphi Academy of Brooklyn and Phillips Exeter; he graduated 
from Harvard (A. B. 1883) and from Columbia Law School 
(LL. B. 1885). In College he was a diligent and thoughtful 
student, but no mere "grind," a member of the Harvard Union, 
a director of the Open Debating Society, and Captain of the 
Harvard Bicycle Club in the perilous days of the high wheel. 
His affection for his alma mater grew stronger rather than 
weaker with the years, and he was always to be counted upon 
to support any movement in her interest. 

From his graduation from the Law School until his death, 
he practiced law in this City. It would be an understatement 
to say, in the stock phrase, that he practiced his profession 
actively; he practiced it, as he did everything, indefatigably, de- 
voting to it, long after any financial need had ceased to drive 
him, the same zeal which had characterized :he stripling of 
thirty years before. The reason was very simple, he loved the 
law. Its logical niceties appealed to the essenti il orderliness of 
his spirit, but he never lost sight of the truth the t law is tut the 
instrument of justice. Combining with intellectual abilities of 
a high order, the essentials of character and industry, profes- 
sional success came to him early. His life was smooth and 
prosperous enough to have e.xcited the envy of the less fortunate, 
but he was spared even that annoyance, because he was blessed 
by nature with the gift of friendship, and a sense of humor. The 
one prevented him from taking himself too seriously, the other 
from taking his friends too lightly. 

A Democrat by conviction, it was characteristic of his 
thoroughness that he joined the regular organization of Xew 
York County, careless of the reproach of the unthinking against 
a "Tammany Man." Xo man was ever less anr .'ler's man than 
Burnham Moffat. With him political "regularity ' was a token 



1QI7.] /?. Burnham Mnffat. 2 

of inf' ;pendence. It marked his freedom from the restraints of 
a soci. i caste. It was no badge of servitude to a "boss." Those 
who must label everyone probably classified him as a Wall Street 
lawyer. Yet he read The Ncii.' Republic with sympathetic com- 
prehension, and had even been heard to speak in praise of the 
Brandeis appointment. An open mind was with him less a 
duty, V hich he strove to fulfill than a right which he insisted 
upon n.aintaining. 

It V as in the year 1904 that his first essay in genealogy was 
published ("The Barclays of New York: Who they are and 
who tley are not — and some other Barclays"). Unlike many 
works 3f genealogy, undertaken to vindicate a compiler's self- 
es'cem by tracing his descent from an illustrious source, Moffat's 
first bcoic was written to establish that he was not descended 
from tl e Barclays of Ury, although, so far as the work shows, 
considered as ancestors, there was nothing in the least un- 
desirab'e about them. His interest in that aspect of his subject 
was pu:ely that of the historian. Bringing to the task his train- 
ing as rn examiner of evidence, and his untiring industry, it is 
not sur] rising that he produced a contribution of real value to 
the detailed history of colonial New Jersey and New York. 
What m ght very well surprise one is the distinct literary flavor 
of the wjrk. One does not look for it in a writer of briefs. 

The Barclay Gencalopy was followed in 1910, by the Moffat, 
and in 1913, by the Picrrcpont Genealogies, the latter containing 
contributed matter of much interest concerning the English 
origins and connections of the lady who, in 1895, had become 
the wife of the author. 

Mr. Moffat was one of the growing number of public-spirited 
New Yorkers, who give liberally of their time and thought and 
money to good causes in which they have no selfish interest. 
As a young man. he was active in reform movements in the 
politics of Brooklyn, heading the revolt of the independent Re- 
publicans of his Ward in the Cle\-eland campaign of 1884. After 
his removal to Manhattan, he again showed his political indepen- 
dence b}' taking an active part in Mr. Seth Low's first campaign 
for Mayor, although by that time he had definitel)' and from deep 
conviction ranged himself on the Democratic side in national 
politics. 

In the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, he 
held many offices making heavy demands upon his time, which 
he never failed to meet. The same was true of the New York 
County Lawyers' Association, the Legal Aid Society, and the 
St. John's Guild. His clubs were the Century, University, 
Harvard, Down Town and Automobile Club of America. He 
was also a member of the Society of Colonial Wars. 

He married on June 5, 1895, Ellen Low Pierrepont, daughter 
of Henry Evelyn Pierrepont, Esq., and Ellen A. Low. of Brook- 
lyn, who, with their two sons. Jay Pierrepont and Abbot Low, 
and a daughter, Elizabeth Barclay, survives her husband. This

CHARLES WILLIAM WHIPPLE, U. S. ARMY. 



Contributed by Francis Russell Stoddard, Jr. 



Major Charles William Whipple, U. S. A., retired, a member 
of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, was 
born in the old Warner House, at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, 
on September 28, 1846. The house in which he was born and 
where he spent his boyhood years, was built in 1718 and contin- 
ued in his mother's family by a long line of inheritances from the 
original owner. Here amidst the stories and relics of bygone 
days, the boy grew to maturity. On the carpet in the parlor 
could be seen the spot made by General Lafayette when he 
spilled some wine while visiting at the house. From the walls 
looked down the ancestral portraits painted by Copley and by 
other well-known artists. The walls in the main hall were 
painted with pictures, among them a life-sized portrait of Sir 
William Phipps on horseback, with flowing curls and the scarlet 
uniform of an English general. Two heroic-sized Indians were 
painted on guard on the wall on either side of the main hall 
window, while the lightning rod remained on the roof that had 
been put there by Benjamin Franklin. Here, during the early 
part of the last century, lived John N. Sherburne, Colonel of a 
New Hampshire regiment in the War of 1812, a member of the 
New Hampshire legislature, a descendant of Sir Richard Sher- 
burne, Bart., of Stonyhurst, Lancashire, England, and maternal 
grandfather of Major Whipple. • 

Through his mother, Major Whipple came of distinguished 
ancestry. He was descended from Thomas Dudley, cousin of 
the Earl of Lincoln, governor of Massachusetts Colony, Major- 
General of the Colony's forces and a founder of Harvard College ; 
from Theophilus Eaton, Ambassador from Great Britain to 
Denmark, and later first Governor of New Haven Colony ; from 
John Wentworth, Governor of New Hampshire Colony, whose 
son Benning Wentworth and grandson, Sir John Wentworth 
Bart., succeeded him in turn as governors ; from Colonel William 
Pepperrell, father of Major-General Sir William Pepperrell, Bart., 
conqueror of Louisburg from the French, and from other men 
prominent in our country's history. One of his ancestors, Cap- 
tain John Blunt of Portsmouth, N. H., steered the boat in which 
Washington crossed the Delaware. 

Major Whipple came of military stock from his father, Major- 
General Amiel Weeks Whipple, U. S. A., West Point 1841. His 
father's record shows the blood that was in him. As one of 
the "highest stand" men in his class, his father was appointed 
to the engineers. Though only a Lieutenant at the time, in 
the absence of his superior officer, he was selected by the repre- 



12 Charles William Whipple, U.S. Army. [Jan. 

sentatives of both countries to draw the boundary line between 
the United States and Mexico, after the Mexican War. He was 
later engaged in hazardous exploration work in the West, and 
in incidental Indian fighting. At the outbreak of the Civil 
War, he was Captain of Engineers and he made, by aid of 
balloons and cavalry incursions, the maps of Northern Virginia 
used by the Army of the Potomac. He was a Major on the 
staff of General MacDowell at the first battle of Bull Run and 
because of his bravery was brevetted a Lieutenant-Colonel of 
regulars for gallantry in action. He was later commissioned a 
Brigadier-General of Volunteers and was placed in command 
of the defences south of Washington. For his services there 
he was mentioned in general orders for efficiency by special 
command of the President. Later he was again sent into the 
field and at the bloody battle of Fredericksburg commanded a 
division. As a result of his bravery in this battle, he was brevetted 
a Colonel of regulars for gallantry in action. At the battle of 
Chancellorsville, he commanded the 3rd Division of the 3rd Army 
Corps which broke Lee's line and separated him from Stone- 
wall Jackson. When the nth Army Corps was defeated in his 
rear and driven from the field, it was the 3rd that turned and 
drove Jackson's victorious army back. During the retreat of 
the Union Army, General Whipple held the center and his 
management of his troops has been called "masterly" by military 
critics. For his bravery in the battle he was brevetted a Brig- 
adier-General of regulars for gallantry in action. On the last 
day of the battle while assigning a new position to his batteries, 
he was mortally wounded by a rebel sharpshooter. As he lay 
dying he was brevetted a Major-General of regulars for gallantry 
during the whole war and was commissioned a Major-General 
of Volunteers. Abraham Lincoln came to his funeral "not," he 
said, "as President of the United States, but as a friend of the 
family." 

The first military experience of Major Whipple was as 
"marker" in a militia company before the war when he was 
fourteen years of age and while his father was stationed at 
Detroit, Michigan. When his father commanded the defences 
of Washington, Major Whipple was constantly in the company 
of President Lincoln, who, when visiting the outer fortification, 
would call him and his brother to where he sat and amuse them 
by telling them stories. Not only did Major Whipple remember 
Lincoln well, but from being in Washington when a boy, with 
his father, before and after the opening of hostilities, he saw and 
met practically every man of prominence in Washington at the 
time. He frequently went in the field with his father and, when 
carrying messages to sub-commanders, was several times under 
fire. He often ascended in military balloons while his father 
made maps of Virginia for the invading army. After his father's 
death, he received a personal invitation from General Meade to 
visit him in the field and was with that general when the com- 



iQi;.] Charles William Whipple, U. S. Army. 1 3 

mand of the Army of the Potomac was turned over to General 
Grant. In 1864, while he was attending Georgetown College, 
President Lincoln gave him a personal appointment to West 
Point, from where he graduated in 1868. 

On June 15, 1868, he was commissioned as Second Lieutenant 
in the 3rd Artillery and was assigned to Battery "B," stationed 
at Newport, Rhode Island. In February, 1869, he was trans- 
ferred with headquarters and batteries "B" and "D" by steamer 
to Key West, Florida, where he went through a yellow fever 
epidemic, which threatened to entirely wipe out his command. 
A healthy man would go on guard and would be dead and buried 
before the 24 hour tour of duty was ended. No clergyman would 
stay at the post and Major Whipple read the burial service over 
the dead. More than one-third of his men died before the 
Government transferred the command to a healthier locality. He 
joined Light Battery "C," at the Light Artillery School at Fort 
Riley, Kansas, on September i, 1870, and aided in the preserva- 
tion of peace at St. Mary's, Kansas, while the Pottowotomie 
tribe of Indians received their final payment on the surrender of 
their tribal rights. In April, the next year, he was transferred 
with his battery to Charleston, South Carolina, and in August he 
was appointed instructor in drawing at West Point. Relieved 
on his own application, he, on September i, 1872, joined Battery 
"F" of his regiment, at Fort Jefferson, Dry Tortugas. From this 
hot and lonely spot, he was transferred in February, 1873, with 
his battery equipped for tropical service only, to Oswego, New 
York, at a time when the snow was so deep that the mail 
carrier frequently went over the great wall of the fort, utilizing 
snow drifts. On May i, 1873, he attended the Artillery School 
at Fort Monroe, Virginia, and graduated from it the following 
year. After a short stay at Fort Hamilton, New York, he was 
assigned to the Wheeler survey and was in charge of parties 
exploring through southwestern Colorado, Northern New Mexico 
and Southern California, then wild Indian country, from July, 
1874, to December, 1875. ■ ,, 

On July 19, 1875, he was commissioned as First Lieut,Qnant 
in the Ordnance Department, with which branch of the service 
he was connected during the remainder of his career. In Decem- 
ber, 1875, he was one of the officers in charge of the ordnance 
exhibit at the great Centennial Exhibition held at Philadelphia. 
In February, 1877, he was appointed inspector at the West Point 
foundry at Cold Spring, New York, and from 1883 to 1887, he 
was in charge of the United States Proving Ground at Sandy 
Hook, New Jersey, where the most important ordnance tests 
were made. During part of that time, at the request of the 
Treasury Department of the United States, he conducted a long 
series of experiments with their first life saving gun, and, upon 
the completion and reception of his report, he superintended the 
manufacture of a large number of guns, with carriages and pro- 
jectiles, for all the stations on both the Atlantic and Pacific

coasts. During these years, he was the author of many articles 
on ordnance and other technical subjects. On May 9, 1885, he 
was commissioned Captain, and in April, 1887, he was appointed 
Chief Ordnance Officer of the Department of the Missouri, 
where he represented the Department Commander and super- 
vised the opening of Oklahoma Territory to settlement. On 
November 6, 1890, he was a member of a board of officers ap- 
pointed in connection with the World's Columbian Exposition 
to be held in Chicago. On July 19, 1892, he went into the office 
of the Chief of Ordnance at Washington, D. C, and on Septem- 
ber 3, 1895, was sent to the Arsenal at Springfield, Mass., where 
he was stationed when the war with Spain began. 

On May 30, 1898, he was appointed Chief Ordnance Officer 
of the proposed expedition to the Philippine Islands, and on 
June 22, 1898, he was appointed Inspector-General of Volunteers 
with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. On July 23, 1898, he left 
San Francisco in the transport Rio de Janeiro with General H. 
G. Otis and arrived at Manila on August 24, 1898. It was in 
Manila that he sustained the illness from which he never fully 
recovered. Broken in health, he returned to the United States 
on the transport Senator, which left Manila, December 15, 1898, 
and on February 2, 1901, he was retired with the rank of Major 
in the regular army, because of disability sustained in the line of 
duty. The Chief of Ordnance in his annual report for 1901 states 
that he, with others named, deserves commendation "for efficient 
work in a strange field, and for the amount, extent and character 
of it." He died at Summit, New Jersey, on October 18, 1916. 

His New York City home was 181 Madison Avenue. His 
country home at Massapequa, Long Island, had been purchased 
by his wife's ancestors from the Indians. On October 22, 1916, 
after a burial ser\'ice in the little Episcopal church which he had 
so often attended at Massapequa, he was buried in the family 
burial ground at Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island. 

His life was guided by the highest ideals of duty. In any 
problem he would take the course that was brave and unselfish. 
His manner was always courteous, of the old school. He had 
many close friends, one of whom, a general in the regular army, 
wrote, "I certainly never knew a more lovable man or a man with 
more dear friends." A classmate who served with him in the 
Philippines wrote, "To me, 'Billy' Whipple was one of the most 
lovable man I have ever known. He was such a gentleman, so 
simple and so gentle and so amiable, and he was capable of the 
wonderful power of friendship." On April 3, 1877, he was married 
to Josephine Katherine Jones, daughter of Walter R. T. Jones, 
of New York City and Long Island, and a granddaughter of 
Admiral Theodorus Bailey, U. S. N:, mentioned for his bravery 
in the Mexican War, and second in command under Admiral 
Farragut at the capture of New Orleans. Major Whipple was 
a member of the University Club of New York, of the Army and 
Navy Club of Washington, D. C, of the Military Order of the

Loyal Legion, and of the Sons of the Revolution. He leaves 
surviving him his widow and his children, Walter Jones Whipple, 
of New York City; William Whipple, of Cinclare, La.; Sher- 
burne Whipple, West Point, 1904, now captain in the 9th U. S. 
Infantry, stationed on the Mexican Border; Annette Bailey, 
married to Arthur Morris Collens, of Hartford, Connecticut; and

at ; married January 17th, 1856 (aged 29, at marriage), 

at Boston, Mass., to Aaron Hobart, Jr., born November 19th, 

1817 (aged 38, at marriage), at Hanover, Mass.; died . 

at . He was a son of Aaron Hobart by his first wife 

Maria Leash, of Belfast, who were married August i6th, 
1812, at Hanover, Mass., and who lived at Hanover, Mass, 

Children: ? (Hobart). I do not know whether there 

were any children by this marriage or not. 
The Vital Records of Cambridge, Mass., Vol. H, p. 603, under 
head of deaths, says, "Aaron Hobart, Jr., died February 6th, 1849, 

aged 20 months." From this it would appear that Ellen H " 

Thacher was the second wife of Aaron Hobart, Jr., and that the 
Aaron Hobart, Jr., who died February 6th, 1849, was a son by 
his first wife, whose maiden name and parentage is not as yet 
known to me.

REVOLUTIONARY WAR RFXORDS. 



Bv George Austin Morrison. 



The below list of names of 84 Ofificers of the Line and Staff 
of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War was 
discovered among a mass of uncalendared manuscripts in the 
Quartermaster's Department at Washington, D. C. The forage 
for the riding horses of these officers was furnished by the then 
Forage Masters of the Continental Army gratis to those officers 
only on active duty under direction of the Commander-in-Chief, 
who, as early as 3rd August, 1779, directed that "the officers who 
keep horses in camp should see that racks are built for the forage." 
The list is most interesting because so many of the names of 
well known officers are written as plain " Mr.," viz.: Mr. Moylan, 
who was Colonel John Moylan (Accounts of Paymaster General, 
Rev. War, vol. 144, p. 91); Mr. Brooks, who was Major David 
Brooks (Rev. War, vol. 103, p. 180, and MSS No. 26834, War De- 
partment, Washington, D. C); Mr. Mitchell, who was Capt. Uriah 
Mitchell, Brigade Quartermaster to Gen. McDougall, and re- 
peatedly referred to by Col. Timothy Pickering, Quartermaster 
General as Captain in his letters (Rev. War, vol. 123, p. 230; vol. 
124, pp. 70, 120, 221; vol. 225, pp. 20, 42, 78, etc.). The reason 
for this civilian title was that at the reorganization of the Quarter- 
master Department in 1780 all military titles formerly used to 
designate officers of the Quartermaster's and Commissary's Staff 
of the Continental Army were discontinued and the various 
Assistant Deputy Quartermaster Generals, Superintendents, 
Deputies, Assistant Commissaries, Assistants, etc., were, with few 
exceptions, addressed in all official communications as " Mr." 
Except a few names on the below list, as yet untraced, every 
officer set forth held military rank in the early years of the war. 

This applied even to Wagon Masters, for on 2nd March, 1778, 
Congress " Resolved that the forage masters, wagg'on masters, and 
other officers in the department be in the appointment of the 
Q. M. General who is to be responsible for their conduct." It 
will be noted that "forage masters" and "waggon masters" were 
here specifically designated as "Officers" by Congress, a fact 
which is also established by General Washington in a letter dated 
28th January, wherein he refers to military rank being conferred 
upon wagon masters and deputies. 

Annexed to this list of Officers of the Line and Staff are such 
brief notes as may be necessary to place the respective officers 
therein set forth, a number of whom are not to be found in the 
general printed and published lists of Continental Officers. 
Apparently the names of those officers who served in the Quarter- 



58 



Revolutionary War Records. 



[Jan. 



master's and Commissary's Departments have been grievously 
neglected and forgotten while the livelier glory of the Line 
Officers has been carefully preserved by historians of the Revo- 
lutionary War. It is earnestly hoped that in the near future a 
full and accurate list of the Staff Officers of the Army of the 
Continent will be compiled and published, for the part played by 
these men during the War of the Revolution contributed materially 
to the success of the fighting line and resulting independence of 
the Colonies.

executrix. f (P. C. C. Bakon 5.) 

Inquisition taken at Launceston, co. Cornwall, 13 April, n 
Eliz., after the death of John Treffrye,J Esq., by the oath of 
Richard Gervys, Esq. and others, jurors, who say that the said 
John Treflfrye was long before his death seized in his demesne 
as of fee in the Manors of Treffry, Tregoyd Magna, Polfuthen, 
Penfrane, Langorthowe and Fowey in the said county of Corn- 
wall, and in divers messuages, lands, tofts, gardens and curtilages 
to the last-named manor pertaining, lying within the Borough of 
Fowey, and in certain lands and tenements called Trenant lying 
in the parish of Fowey, and in two tenements in Hendra and 
Treleden in the parish of St. Germans, and tenements in Bodmin; 
and, being so seized, he by his deed dated 12 January, 31 Eliz., 
gave and granted certain of the aforesaid messuages, lands and 
tenements unto Thomas Lower, Nicholas Tregodyck, John Res- 
carryck and Hugh Rescarryck, Esquires, § in consideration of a 

* Testator's eldest son. 

■f Though named neither in the will nor the probate act, she was probably 
that Margaret Dickwood who married Davy Williams at Fowey, 17 Aug., 1579. 
In support of this view it may be noted that both Thomas and John Peter, 
sons of this testator, had a daughter Margaret, presumably named after their 
grandmother, the executrix of the will. 

X Pronounced Tree-fry — accent on second syllable. The name is often 
erroneously confounded with Trefusis.

10 Nov., 1600, the Nuncupative Will of Thomas Peter alias 
DiCK\vooD,§ late of Foy, co. Cornwall, was proved by Thomas 
Redman, Not. Pub., proctor of Alice, the relict and executrix 
named in the said will. {P. C. C. Probate Act Book, 1600.) 

Inquisition taken at Bodmin, co. Cornwall, 25 June, i James I, 
after the death of William Treffrye, Esq., by the oath of certain 
jurors, who say that William Treffrye held of the late Queen a 
certain tenement in Trenant, in the parish of Fowey, by the 
tenth part of one Gloucester Knight's-fee. Long before William 
Treffrye had any interest in that tenement, John Treffrye, late 
of Fowey, Esq., now deceased, father of William, and whose heir 
the said William is, by his deed dated 16 Dec, 31 Eliz., gave to 

* 27 January, 1590-91. Owing to the defective state of the Fowey register, 
his burial is not found, and his will, proved at Bodmin, 11 Feb., 1590-91, is 
missing from the files there. 

t John Treffry married (1) Jane, dau. of Reginald Mohun; m. (2) Emblyn, 
dau. and co-heir of John Tresithney (or Tresigney), Esq. (McLean, History of 
the Deanery of Trigg Minor). By them he had issue, fourteen sons and 
daughters, whose baptisms all appear in the subjoined parish register extracts, 
except that of John. Emblyn Treffry was buried at Fowey, 30 June, 1604. 

{ Son of John and Emblyn (Tresithney) Treffry, and brother to Martha 
(Treffry) Peters, mother of Hugh Peters, he was baptized at Fowey, 25 July, 
1571, and named after his mother. 

§ Father of Hugh Peters. The will is lost, and no registered copy is 
known to exist. All that now remains of what must otherwise have proved 
an intensely interesting document is the probate act.

LONG ISLAND TOWN RECORDS. 



Contributed by Orville B. Ackerly, 

Member of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society. 



Kings County. 
Brooklyn was first settled in 1637; Bushwick in 1620; New 
Utrecht in 1650; Flatlands in 1636; Flatbush in 1650; Gravesend 
in 1640, and I can find no date given as to when the town of 
New Lotts was first settled, but it was not organized as a town 
until 1852. The town of Gravesend had records dating from 1656, 
but none of the towns of Kings County has printed its records. 

Queens County. 

The town of Flushing was first settled in 1645; Jamaica in 
1657, and Newtown in 1652. The records of Jamaica, three 
volumes, were printed by the Long Island Historical Society in 
1914. The records of the other towns have never been printed, 
and the early records of the town of Flushing are said to have 
been burned. 

Nassau County. 

North Hempstead and Hempstead were settled the same year, 
1640. North Hempstead's records were printed in seven volumes, 
the first volume in 1896. 



76 Morris Bible Records. [Jan. 

Oyster Bay was first settled in 1653, and the first volume of its 
records has only recently been printed. These records have 
been very ably edited with interpolations of notes and explana- 
tions, by Mr. John Cox, Jr., who also prepared the very complete 
Analytical Index of names and subjects. This work is being 
printed and published by Tobias A. Wright of New York City. 
Other volumes will follow as soon as the copy from the original 
records can be prepared. 

Suffolk County. 
East Hampton was first settled in 1649, and its records have 
been printed in five volumes; the first appearing in 1887. South- 
hampton was first settled in 1640, and its records in six volumes 
have been printed; the first volume in 1874. This town enjoys 
the distinction of having been the first town in this State to print 
its records, and a remarkable fact is, that all the six volumes 
have been printed by one man, John H. Hunt, owner of the Sag 
Harbor Express, the oldest editor in point of service in the State. 
The last volume. No. 6, was published last year. 

Southold, including the territory of Shelter Island, and River- 
head as well, was first settled in 1640, and its records in two 
volumes, have been printed; the first volume appearing in 1882. 
These books are made more interesting because supplied 
copiously with notes by J. Wickham Case, of the Committee on 
Publication, who had served many years as clerk of the county. 

The town of Brookhaven was first settled in 1655. The town 
records, in three volumes have been printed. The first volume 
was merely a compilation of what the Town Clerk thought most 
important, omitting many things that should have been printed. 
A committee was authorized two years ago to print the early 
volumes, more accurately and exactly, and we understand the 
copy is about ready for the printer. 

The town of Smithtown was first settled in 1663, and it pub- 
lished one volume of its records in 1898. 

The town of Islip was settled in 17 10, and it has never printed 
any of its records. Its earliest volume was lost not long ago, 
and the authorities have never made any attempt to recover it. 

The town of Huntington was settled in 1657, and its records 
were printed in three volumes, the first volume dated 1887. The 
town of Babylon was part of Huntington until 1872. 



MORRIS BIBLE RECORDS. 



The Bible from which these records are taken is in the posses- 
sion of William R. Stewart of 125 Riverside Drive, whose wife 
kindly contributes them for publication. Mr. Stewart has recently 
inherited it from his mother, wife of the late William R. Stewart

(1863), the surname of Susannah, wife of Robert' Field of New- 
town (Robert'), is not given, and was evidently unknown to the 
compiler. 

An examination of the wills of Robert' Field (Robert,- Robert') 
of Newtown, and of Deborah (Whitehead) Hicks, daughter of 
Daniel Whitehead and Abigail'^ Stevenson (Thomas'), prove be- 
yond reasonable doubt, that Susannah was a daughter of Thomas^ 
Stevenson of Newtown, L. I., the emigrant ancestor of the 
Stevenson family in America. 

Robert^ Field, in his will, dated loth day, loth mo., 1734 
(Absts. of Wills, N. Y. Hist. Soc. Coll., vol. iii, pp. 174-5), men- 
tions his cousin " Dan ieP Stevenson," the son of Thomas'-' (Thomas'), 

by his second wife, Ann (or Jean?) . Deborah (Whitehead) 

Hicks, daughter of Abigail'^ Stevenson (Thomas') in her will dated 
14th day, 4th mo., 1712 (Absts. of Wills, N. Y. Hist. Soc. Coll., 
vol. ii, p. 96), mentions her "cousins Robert and Phebe Field," 
the latter, Robert' Field's wife, being the daughter of Edmond 
Titus and widow of Samuel Scudder. 

These two wills prove that Robert' Field, was the cousin of 
both Daniel' Stevenson (Thomas,'^ Thomas') and of Deborah 
Whitehead (Abigail^ Stevenson, Thomas'), whose father and 
mother, respectively, were brother and sister, and in other words, 
the children of Thomas' Stevenson, the Emigrant. 

Since Robert' Field was the cousin of Daniel' Stevenson and 
Abigail Whitehead, it follows that his mother, Susannah, was their 
aunt; either she was a sister of Thomas- and Abigail^ Stevenson, 
or a sister of Daniel Whitehead and of Thomas''' Stevenson's 

second wife Ann (or Jean?) . This latter hypothesis seems 

hardly likely, however, from the fact that while Robert' Field 
left considerable sums of money to several Stevenson cousins, the 
only mention of any member of the Whitehead family, in his will, 
is that of Susannah, daughter of his sister Sarah Field and Jona- 
than Whitehead. e. h.^viland hillm..\n, f. s. g.,

My attention has been called to the name Love which appears 
under The Salmon Records, twice on p. 347, and once on p. 359 of 
volume xlvii of the Record. A comparison of the r's and v's in 
the original manuscripts, taken in conjunction with the statement 
by Moore, at p. 97 of his Southold Indexes, convinces me that the 
name in the original is Lore — now Loring — and not L^ve as printed 
and as appears in the three copies-of these records in the libraries

children are specifically mentioned; his son, Richard Scudder, d. in 1731 and hence would not be mentioned, and his

GEORGE AUSTIN MORRISON, JR. 

It is with a sense of irreparable loss that the Board of 
Trustees of the New York Genealogical and Biographical 
Society announces to the members the sudden death, on Nov- 
ember 29th, 1916, of their fellow Trustee, George Austin 
Morrison, Jr. Taken as he was from our midst in the full 
vigor of his exceptional usefulness, and while still apparently 
enjoying unusual strength and health, — his death comes as a 
startling shock to those who were intimately associated with 
him. 

At a special meeting of the Board of Trustees the follow- 
ing resolution was unanimously passed: — 

Whereas, Divine Providence has, in the exercise of 
inscrutable judgment, removed from his sphere of earthly 
usefulness our fellow member George Austin Morrison, Jr., 
the Society at large and its Board of Trustees in particular 
experience a sense of loss that mere words fail adequately to 
express. Mr. Morrison joined this Society in igo2 and from the 
very beginning of his membership was a valued and efficient 
officer and remained active until his untimely death. He 
served continuously as a Trustee of the Society and in that 
capacity was constant in his attendance at the meetings of 
the Board giving it the benefit of his ripe and excellent judg- 
ment. During his long connection with the Society he like- 
wise served successively in the following official capacities: — 
Chairman of the Executive Committee; Treasurer; 2nd Vice- 
President; Editor of the New York Genealogical and Bio- 
graphical Record; and on the Publication Committee of the 
Society. In every one of those capacities he rendered con- 
spicuous service, in which he did his utmost to advance the 
Society to the present enviable position which it occupies in 
this community and in the country at large. 

It is therefore; — 

Resolved: That in the death of George Austin Morri- 
son, Jr., the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society 
sustains a deep felt and grievous loss. As a genial gentle- 
man, a lovable companion, and as an efficient and never 
tiring officer of the Society his absence from its official gather- 
ings will be to those who remain a source of constantly re- 
newed grief. To his afflicted family the Society extends its 
deepest sympathy, with a full appreciation of the great sorrow 
which has come upon them. 

Resolved: That a copy of these resolutions be sent to 
the family of our late honored fellow Trustee George Austin 
Morrison, Jr.

BOOK REVIEWS. 
By John R. Totten. 

Editorial Note;— The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society solicits as 
donations to its Library all newly published works on Genealogy, History and Biography, as well 
as all works on Town, County and State History, or works embodying information regarding the 
Vital Records of any and all localities. It also solicits the donation to the manuscript collections 
of its library any and all manuscript compilations which bear upon the above mentioned topics. 

In consideration of such donations the works so presented to the Society will be at once 
placed upon the shelves of its library and will be reviewed in the next subsequent issue of The 
New York Gene-'^logical A'ND Biographical Record, each donation of such character, 
whether in printed or manuscript form, will be reviewed under the head of " Book Notices " and 
a copy of The Record containing the review will be sent to the donor. 

The Society does not solicit donations of publications or manuscripts on topics foreign to 
the above mentioned subjects, as its library is specialized and cannot accommodate material 
which does not bear directly upon its recognized sphere of usefulness. 

Donations for review in the January issue of The Record should be delivered to the 
Society before December ist of the previous year; for the .'^pril issue, before March ist; for the 
July issue before June ist; and for the October issue, before September ist. 

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

The "Book Notices" of The Record are carefully read by all librarians as well as 
genealogical students, and the review of a work in The Record is equivalent to a special 
advertisement of such work. 

Letters of transmittal of donations of such works should embody the price of the work 
donated and the name and address of the person from whom it can be purchased.

be interested." This volume in itself is of much value to genealogists and it's

The Founding of Spanish California. The Northwestward Expansion 
of New Spain, 1687-1783, by Charles Edward Chapman, Ph.D., Assistant 
Professor of History in the University of California. 8vo, cloth, pp. 485, 
including index, with frontispiece portrait of Antonio Maria Bucarely y 
Ursua, Viceroy of New Spain, 1771-1779. The Macmillan Company, New 
York, publishers. 1916. Address : Author, 23 Hancock Street, Winchester, 
Mass. Price $3.50. 

"Dr. Chapman seeks to show in this volume that the Spanish occupa- 
tion of California in the years just prior to the American Revolution was 
in great degree responsible for the later acquisition of American frontage 
on the Pacific. The early settlements of 1769, the founding of San Francisco 
in 1776 and its significance, the development of California by Spain, the 
designs of England and Russia and the massacre of 1781 are among the 
topics taken up. The materials employed by the author are for the most 
part new and were found by him at the Archive General de Indias during 
two years' residence in Seville, Spain. Of the hundreds of manuscripts 
cited very few have ever been used before. The work therefore opens up to 
the world of scholarship a wealth of original documents bearing on our 
history not hitherto suspected. It should also prove profitable and not 
without interest to the lay reader who is concerned with the record of his 
country's progress." Recommended to all general reference and historical 
libraries.

deep green morocco, with the arms of the city in gold inlaid with colors, 
$10.00, Half morocco, $5.00. 

The initiative which inspired the compiler to undertake the task of re- 
viving the Manual is worthy of all praise and the present volume makes an 
excellent start. The plan was made feasible by the active interest of founder 
subscribers. It is unfortunate that so many years have elapsed since the 
original series was terminated by the death of the veteran City Clerk, David 
Thomas Valentine, and the numbers in continuance thereof fathered by 
Joseph Shannon, for many views which would have been reproduced during 
that period have undoubtedly been lost to posterity. When one realizes the 
value in dollars for a set of the Manual and the startling changes which 
have taken place since their publication, not only can one visualize the eager 
scramble for such books and local prints but recognize the inestimable im- 
portance of this work. The contents have been well selected, for the editor 
must have been surfeited with articles of great historical variety, and the 
ninety-seven pictures, engraved on copper, are not only beautiful, and many 
of them rare, but their value will grow as time passes. Bravo, Mr. Brown; 
accept congratulations and well wishes for many future editions. No one 
who makes his home in New York can afford to be without this volume, 
which appeals not only to the casual reader, but especially to students of this 
great city's history. They will be well repaid by its perusal. An index would 
add to the convenience of readers and is suggested for later issues. The want 
of tliis accommodation in the original series has necessitated the issuance of 
books of contents and list of illustrations. As the volumes increase in number 
this lack will prove a source of much loss of time and patience. h. s. m. 

A History of Schenectady During the Revolution, to which is ap- 
pended a Contribution to the Individual Records of the Inhabitants of the 
Schenectady District During that Period, by Willis Tracy Hanson, Jr., A. M. 
Privately printed, 1916, edition Hmited, pp. ix, 304. Address: Edwin G. 
Conde, Agent, Schenectady, N. Y. Price, $3.00, carriage prepaid. 

This attractive royal octavo volume, printed on deckle-edge paper, will 
be found typographically pleasing to the most critical eye. It covers the 
history of the Schenectady District during the revolutionary period, a field 
that has received but scant attention from Professor Pearson and other local 
historians. It is evident that the author has left no stone unturned in his 
search for documentary evidence. Local muster rolls and revolutionary 
letters have been broughtto light; and an exhaustive research was made in 
the collection of various libraries and societies. The most important source 
of information was the Minutes of the Schenectady Committee of Safety 
of which more will be said later. A little less than half of the book is de- 
voted to a historical sketch of that part of the revolution in which Schenec- 
tady patriots were engaged. The organization of the various Schenectady 
military bodies is concisely presented, as well as the part the men took in 
the different campaigns. The author has illuminated his sketch with volumin- 
ous foot notes, in which he has laid bare to the inquisitive eye of the most 
critical reader his authority for almost every statement made. Some of the 
foot notes contain information intended to amplify the text of the body of 
the page; it is possible that the use of notes for this purpose has been over- 
done and that their contents would have been more wisely embodied in the 
text. The remainder of the book contains the "Individual Records of 
Service" of all the inhabitants of the District, so far as it has been possible 
to compile them. These will be found invaluable in the eolleetion of data 
pertaining to membership in the patriotic societies. The dates of birth, 
baptism and death of a substantial number of the individuals appear. The 
author states that this data was obtained "from a variety of sources, some 
primary and some secondary;" and that although he made use of Pearson's 
genealogies quite freely, where it was possible, a comparison was made with 
the original church records or tombstone inscriptions. The service records 
were compiled principally from the records in the Pension Office at Wash- 
ington, the greater part of this data now being published for the first time. 



g6 Book Reviews. [Jan. 

The pension records are the petitions of the claimants or the testimony they 
gave at hearings ; and represent recollections of revolutionary service, re- 
cited from twenty to forty years after the events had transpired. The author, 
in his historical sketch, has made frequent reference to pension records in 
the foot notes, often referring to matters which are not touched upon when 
these records are abstracted late on in the book, under the name of each 
individual. 

All, or nearly all, of the names appearing in the muster rolls of the 2d 
Albany County Militia, have been copied in the "Individual Records of 
Service," the author having eliminated the senseless duplication caused by 
variations in spelling. For a considerable number of names, where no infor- 
mation has been discovered, the following sentence is often repeated : "His 
name appears on the rolls of the 2d Albany County Militia." In this manner 
valuable space in the book has been wasted, which might better have been 
devoted to a more complete exploitation of some pension records, such as 
Daniel Kittle, James Barhydt, Simon J. Van Antwerp, John Henry, Bartholo- 
mew Oute and others. In the introduction the author states that he has 
been "struck with the scarcity of available manuscript information." The 
reviewer is of the opinion that the author could have nearly doubled the size 
of his book without exhausting the supply he had at hand. However, as a 
publication of this type is largely dependent upon patriotism and seldom yields 
an adequate return, the curtailment of the volume was perhaps unavoidable. 
In the Bibliography, the reviewer observes with satisfaction that the author 
has omitted a number of the more recent publications purporting to deal with 
the history of the Mohawk valley. The manuscript sources of information 
are particularly impressive, although it is to be regretted that the original 
vital records of the Reformed Dutch Church of Schenectady have not been 
included. The book is without photogjraphic reproductions of manuscripts, 
lacks a table of contents, but closes with a comprehensive index. 

Saving only that it is open to criticism as to its brevity, the work is a 
production of the highest merit ; the fearlessness displayed by the author in 
stating his authorities is in itself a guarantee as to its accuracy. Unqualifiedly, 
it portrays the permanent value to be derived from intelligent specialization 
on the short but vital epoch which it covers. The few survivors of the old 
Schenectady families still remaining in that city should be proud to have this 
volume upon their book shelves. It is sincerely recontmended to historical 
and genealogical libraries and particularly to the patriotic societies. Nor is 
this all : Local historians, especially those intending to write of the revolu- 
tionary period, would do well to carefully peruse its pages, in order to learn 
how a volume of this type can and should be produced. 

The reviewer has taken the liberty to include here certain information 
not touched upon by the author, which concerns the most important source 
of documentary evidence. This information was obtained through corre- 
spondence with the author and with others. The original Minute Book of 
the Schenectady Committee of Safety was presented by Mr. Edward Rosa 
to the library of Union College; the date of presentation has not been ascer- 
tained. Mr. E. Z. Carpenter had it in his possession in 1875. He states that : 
"It was written on discolored heavy paper and the pages were about the 
size of Royal 8vo., or a trifle larger, with limp covers like many cheap account 
books of the present day." He further states that the four numbers of the 
American Historian and Quarterly Genealogical Record, issued by him, did 
not contain all of the Minute Book, but that he copied the remainder. The 
second section of the Minutes, now in the Library of Congress, consists of 
36 sheets — 72 pages. The paper is thin and much discolored ; the pages are 
about the lengths of foolscap, but a little wider. Although there is no evi- 
dence of binding at present, it is probable that the sheets came from a book. 
These sheets were acquired in the year 1876, with the Force purchase. The 
third section of the Minutes, covering the year 1779, were simply fragmentary 
and were copied by Mr. Carpenter from the back part of the Minute Book. 
Although no definite conclusion can be drawn and although the descriptions 
do not exactly tally, the reviewer is of the opinion that tlie section in the 
Library of Congress is actually a part of the Minute Book that was in the 



igi7.] Book Reviews. 97 

possession of Mr. Carpenter in the year 1875. And that this section was re- 
moved before the Minute Book was placed at the disposal of Judge Sanders 
in the year 1879. The present whereabouts of the Minute Book is unknown.

This work is a copy of the manuscript left by the Author, the existence 
of which was not known to his family until after his death. In addition to 
the valuable information given relative to the descendants of the Ball sur- 
name, it is rendered additionally valuable in giving facts relative to the 
collateral connections embodying notes on the Atwater, Bradley, Daggett, 
Hotchkiss, Shipman families and others of New Haven; and Candler, Patter- 
son, Pell, Strong and Waller families of New York. The work is well pre- 
sented and is a valuable addition to the history of the Ball family and it is 
heartily recommended to all genealogical libraries.

This is the latest volume of this most valuable work which may be de- 
scribed as being the " History of the United States as illustrated in the lives of 
the Founders, Builders, and Defenders of the Republic and of the men and 
women who are doing the work and moulding the thought of the present time." 
The original edition consisted of 13 volumes, which edition was published with 
the distinct idea of keeping the set entirely up to date, by the publication 
from time to time of supplementary volumes which would each in its turn 
bring the series up to the then date of issue. In pursuance with this plan 
Volume XIV was issued some time ago and now we have the last issue, 
Volume XV, to be in its turn followed by others of the series. At the end of 
the volume an index covering Volumes XIV and XV will be found. The 
volume itself contains some l,ooo biographies, including many of those now 
markedly in the public eye. The illustrations of this volume show a marked 
improvement on those in preceding volumes. 

From experience in the past in frequently consulting this series of volumes 
we take great pleasure in recommending them to all general reference, his- 
torical, biographical and genealogical libraries.

HORACE WHITE. 



Contributed by Amelia Elizabeth White. 



Horace White, a member of the New York Genealogical and 
Biographical Society since 1908, was the son of Horace White, 
M. D., and Elizabeth McClary Moore White. He was born at Cole- 
brook, N. H., August 10, 1834, and died at his city home, No. 18 
West 69th Street, on September 16, 1916. 

The White family migrated from England during the second 
quarter of the 17th century. They are found at Sudbury, Mass., in 
1642. Benjamin White, grandfather of Horace White, was bom 
at Templeton, Mass., in 1783, but moved to Bethlehem, N. H., about 
the end of the 18th century. His son, Horace White, was born there 
in 1810. This son studied medicine and received his degree of 
M. D. from Dartmouth College. He began the practice of his pro- 
fession in Colebrook, N. H., about six miles from the Canadian 
line. There his oldest son, Horace White, was boni. 

The Moores came from Scotland by way of County Antrim, Ire- 
land. The family tradition is (see Peterboro Records) that John 
Moore, who migrated to Ireland, was of the Clan Maclan and was 
born February 14, 1692, the morning after the massacre of Glencoe, 
his mother being the only one of the family who escaped that dread- 
ful night. Deacon William Moore, of Bedford, N. H., father of 
Elizabeth McClary Moore, fought in the Revolutionary War. 

In 1836 the New England Emigrating Company was formed 
and Dr. White was chosen to make the journey to our newly opened 
western territories and select a location for a settlement. He decided 
upon the site where the city of Beloit, Wis., now stands. In 1837, 
Horace White, Jr., was taken by his mother to join Dr. White, and 
the family began their new life in a log cabin. In 1838 the first 
school in Beloit was started in the kitchen of this log house. Beloit 
College was founded in 1847 ^"^ Horace White entered the Fresh- 
man class in 1849. 

In 1854, he began his long career in journalism in the city 
department of the Chicago Daily Journal. It was later in the same 



I02 Horace White. [April 

year that he saw and heard Lincoln for the first time, in the famous 
debate with Stephen A. Douglas, at Spring-field, 111. Four years 
later when he was in the employ of the Chicago Press and Tribune 
he reported all the joint debates of 1858. In the meantime he had 
been agent for the New York Associated Press, Secretary of the 
Republican State Committee and Assistant Secretary of the 
National Kansas Committee, in which connection he met and talked 
with John Brown and his sons several times. He even went to 
Kansas himself in 1857, as a Free State settler, going through the 
preliminary form of taking up a claim; but just at that time the 
chief editor of the Chicago Tribune oflfered him a position on the 
paper and he returned to his chosen profession, journalism. 

He came into most intimate contact with Lincoln at the time of 
the joint debates, travelled with him, talked with him and even 
slept in the same bed with him. His reminiscences of those weeks 
have been published in Herndon's Life of Lincoln and also sepa- 
rately. He was present not only at all the large meetings but also 
at most of the smaller ones which Senator Douglas did not attend. 

When Lincoln was elected President, Horace White was sent 
to Washington as correspondent for the Chicago Tribune. While 
there, he, with Adams Sherman Hill and Henry Villard, formed the 
first news agency to compete with the Associated Press. Six of 
the leading newspapers of the United States were in the syndicate. 
He was secretary to the Senate Military Affairs Committee and to 
Henry M. Stanton, Secretary of War. In his Life of Lyman Trum- 
bull he has written the history of that period which he knew so well 
at first hand. 

In 1865, at the age of thirty-one, Mr. White became managing 
editor of the Chicago Tribune and during the next decade he was 
known throughout the country as a journalist of power and fear- 
less independence. His help was enlisted by the New York Free 
Trade League in 1870, and by 1872 he was one of the leaders of 
the Liberal uprising against the abuses of the first Grant Adminis- 
tration, and was Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions of the 
Cincinnati Convention. He and Carl Schurz were intimate friends, 
and were supporters of both Civil Service and Tariflf Reform. 

In 1874 Mr. White's health broke down and he was obliged to 
resign the editorship of the Chicago Tribune and rest from his 
activities for a time. He had already become known as an authority 
on the theory of banking and finance and it was soon after this 
that his edition of Bastiat's Sophismes Economiqties appeared. 
Several years later he edited Luigi Cossa's Scienza delle Finanze 
and wrote many articles and pamphlets on economic and financial 
subjects in addition to his newspaper work. 

After his breakdown, Mr. White travelled in Europe for a 
while, and on his return settled in New York. For a year or two 
he interested himself in various railroad enterprises in our country's 
development west of the Mississippi. But he did not keep out of 
journalism for long. 



Igi7.] Horace White. IO3 

In 1881, Henry Villard bought the 'New York Evening Post 
from Parke Godwin and Isaac Henderson and put it under the 
control of Carl Schurz, editor-in-chief, Horace White and Edwin 
Lawrence Godkin. This famous '"triumvirate" of editors, Godkin, 
Schurz and White, made a paper worthy of its great founder, 
Hamilton, and of the great editors who had gone before them. Mr. 
Schurz retired in 1883, and Mr. Godkin in 1899, and until Horace 
White retired in 1903, his aims and opinions were reflected in the edi- 
torials of the Evening Post — a public record of lasting pride to his 
descendants. He fought tirelessly against corruption in civil and 
national politics. In 1890 the McKinley tariff and the Sherman Sil- 
ver Bill were passed by Congress. The Evening Post fought both 
these measures and the succeeding years have proved how right the 
opposition was. Mr. White expressed his views on the "silver 
lunacy" not only in the Post but also on the public platform and in 
many articles in current magazines. He had the satisfaction of see- 
ing the Sherman Bill repealed in 1893. He next attacked and ex- 
posed the Bryan foolishness of "sixteen to one." His book. Money 
and Banking Illustrated by American History, appeared in 1895. It 
has been adopted as a text by American colleges generally and has 
reached a sixth edition (1916). The final establishment of the gold 
standard in this country is largely due to his efforts. His reputation 
as an authority on currency and finance was international. 

College education in the last century laid great stress on the 
classics. Mr. White had always read Greek and Latin authors 
with ease and as he grew older his pleasure in this diversion in- 
creased. In 1899 he published his English translation of Appian's 
Roman History, which translation has been incorporated in the 
Loeb Classical Library (1912). 

In 1908 Governor Hughes appointed Horace White chairman of 
the Committee on Speculation in Securities and Commodities, popu- 
larly called the Wall Street investigation and "the street" has 
adopted eight of the committee's twelve recommendations. The 
Life of Lyman TrwnbuU was the last of Mr. White's published 
works. At the time of his death he was engaged in writing a 
book of his reminiscences. 

When the great war broke out in 1914 he espoused the cause 
of the Allies. The violation of Belgium, the sinking of the Lusi- 
tania, the whole range of German atrocity and lies outraged him. 
The series of letters he wrote on these subjects were generally pub- 
lished in the Neiv York Times. 

He married twice. His first wife was Martha Hale Root, whom 
he married at New Haven, Conn., April 19, 1859, and who died 
at Wuerzburg, Germany, January 14, 1873. His second wife was 
Amelia Jane MacDougall. This marriage took place at Chicago, 111., 
February 4, 1875. She died at Elheron, N. J., June 7, 1885. He is 
survived by three children, Amelia Elizabeth White, Abby White 
Howells, wife of John Mead Howells, who was a son of William 
Dean Howells, the author, and Martha Root White, daughters of 
his second wife.

FRANK DEMPSTER SHERMAN, Ph. B. 



Contributed by Alexander McMillan Welch. 



Frank Dempster Sherman, an annual member, registrar of 
pedigrees (1914) and member of the publication committee 
(1914-1915) of the New York Genealogical and Biographical 
Society, died in New York City on September 19, 1916, in the 
57th year of his age. 

He was born in Peekskill, N. Y., May 6, i860, and was the son 
of John Dempster and Lucy (MacFarland) Sherman and the 
oldest of nine children. 

His father, John Dempster Sherman, was born October 25, 
1829, in Locke, Cayuga County, N. Y. He spent the greater part 
of his life at Peekskill as a bookdealer and educator, at one time 
holding the office of superintendent of schools. He married 
(first) August 10, 1857, Lucy MacFarland, the youngest daughter 
of Daniel and Martha (Skinner) MacFarland, who was born 
June 14, 1838, in Greenwich, Washington County, N. Y., and who 
died March 14, 1S78, in Peekskill, N. Y. Eight children were 
born of this marriage. He married (second) October 25, 1880, 
Caroline Secor, daughter of Alson and Caroline (Knapp) Secor, 
who was born May 12, 1837, in Garrisons, Putnam County, N. Y. 
One child was born of this marriage. 

Frank Dempster Sherman spent his boyhood in Peekskill and 
received his early education at the Peekskill Military Academy. 
In the fall of 1880, he entered Columbia College, and in 1882, the 
newly formed Department of Architecture of the School of 
Mines, where he received in 1884, the degree of Ph.B. in the 
earliest class graduated in Architecture from Columbia. The 
next year was spent at Harvard University, where he took 
graduate work in English, but owing to his father's ill health, was 
soon called home to look after the book-store in Peekskill. As 
he was the eldest of a large family in modest circumstances, the 
burdens fell heavily upon his shoulders, and for the next few 
years he not only assisted his brothers to obtain their education, 
but gave considerable aid to his parents as well. 

On November i6th, 1887, Frank Dempster Sherman married 
in Peekskill, N. Y. (St. Peter's Episcopal Church), Juliet Merse- 
reau Durand, daughter of Rev. Cyrus Bervick and Sarah Eliza- 
beth (Mersereau) Durand, who was born in Boonton, Morris 
County, N. J. They had one son, Dempster Durand Sherman, 
born in New York City, February 19, 1890. Mr. Sherman is 
survived by his widow and son. 

He was very fond of his home, cared little for clubs, theatres, 
traveling, or out-of-door sports. At college, he was a member of 
the Psi Upsilon Fraternity and later in life of the Century Asso- 



I20 Frank Dempster Sherman, Ph.B. [April 

ciation. His principal form of amusement was a game of crib- 
bage once a week with his intimate friend, Robert Peele, of the 
School of Mines, '83, and professor of mining, Columbia Univer- 
sity, and he was also a good chess player. At one time he played 
a "Million Point Game" of bezique with his brother, John, which 
took five years to complete. Inheriting from his mother a 
natural musical gift, he played the piano with much discrimina- 
tion and excellence of technique. One of his favorite forms of 
recreation, especially when tired, was improvising upon a given 
theme, and this talent contributed much to the pleasure of his 
friends. 

Notwithstanding the fact that he was not afifiliated with any 
church, Mr. Sherman was of a religious temperament. He was 
very fond of a few close friends, and although modest and retir- 
ing, was nevertheless a brilliant conversationalist. He read and 
understood well French, German and Italian and was thorough 
in whatever he undertook. He seldom destroyed anything, but 
arranged everything in a neat and orderly manner. As an illustra- 
tion of his careful and methodical ways, it may be mentioned 
that he kept a record of every dollar he had earned or spent. 

During the latter part of his life his summers were passed 
in his bungalow at Woodland Valley, Ulster County, N. Y., 
where he took pleasure in working in the garden, building stone 
walls, making shelves, tables, chairs, etc., showing great ability 
as a craftsman. It was while here in the summer of 1908, that he 
composed as many as twelve poems in a day. In his youth and 
up to this time, his particular hobby was collecting and arranging 
postage stamps and at his death, he had a complete set of United 
States stamps and almost a full set of revenue stamps. He 
also collected coins and for these made envelopes to fit each coin, 
labelling and arranging them in special boxes made by him for 
the purpose. 

At the urgent request of his instructor and friend. Prof. 
William R. Ware, head of the Department of Architecture at 
Columbia, Mr. Sherman was prevailed upon to take up teaching 
as his life work, and in the fall of 1887, was appointed by the 
trustees of the university a fellow in architecture. He was 
advanced to instructor in 1888, adjunct professor in 1891, and 
professor of graphics in 1904, which post he occupied at the 
time of his death, thus being connected as student or instructor 
with the School of Architecture of Columbia University from 
its foundation ; thirty-one years of his life being devoted to the 
progress and development of the school. 

He was beloved by his associates and students and, as a 
member of the first class which came under his instruction, I 
gladly bear witness to his scholarship, profound knowledge of 
mathematics and interest in his work. Ever considerate in the 
class room and just in his criticism, he gave encouragement and 
help to the student who was careful in his work and interested 
in solving the problems, but he was intolerant of work poorly 



I9I7-] Frank Dempster Sherman, Ph. B. 121 

done, being himself one of the most accurate, methodical and 

painstaking of men. 

While studying at Columbia, Mr. Sherman was one of the editors 
of the Acta-Colmnbiana, a strong undergraduate publication at that 
time, as one can readily see, when it had on its board such men as 
Nicholas Murray Butler and Robert Arrowsmith, '82, Arts; John 
Kendrick Bangs, '83, Political Science; Thomas Nolan, '84, Architec- 
ture; and John Tempest Walker, '84, Arts; all of whom were 
his intimate friends. 

From the time he published, in the Century Magazine, his first 
poem called "Her Scuttle Hat," for which he received the sum 
of $3.00, a fertile mind and a busy pen contributed greatly to his 
support throughout his college career. This was the beginning 
of an authorship of several books of poems and bits of verse, 
which gave him a national reputation as a poet. His work, 
especially that of his later years, is charming in expression and 
deep in feeling. 

Among the principal works of which he was the author and 
which gave him an enviable position in the literary world may 
be mentioned — "Madrigals and Catches," 1887; "New Waggings 
of Old Tales" (in collaboration with his intimate friend, John 
Kendrick Bangs), 1887; "Lyrics for a Lute," 1890; "Little Folk's 
Lyrics," 1892-7; "Lyrics of Joy," 1904; and "A Southern Flight," 
(with Clinton Scollard, his roommate at Harvard), 1905. It may 
be of interest to know that the first drafts of his poems were 
usually written on the backs of envelopes. 

In 1904, Frank Dempster Sherman began in a moderate way 
what afterwards developed into his greatest hobby, "The 
Genealogy of the Sherman Family." This family, a very large 
one, numbers among its members many persons who have 
achieved prominence in the annals of the country, such as Roger 
Sherman, signer of the Declaration of Independence, General Wil- 
liam Tecumseh Sherman, of Civil War fame, and others. Frequently 
before going to the University in the morning and from six in 
the evening until far into the night, as well as during entire 
holidays, he worked assiduously to complete his records, corres- 
ponding with those interested in the Sherman genealogy. His 
ancestry was entirely of English and New England stock, the 
first ancestor of whom he had any record being Thomas' Sher- 
man, Gentleman, born probably as early as 1420, and living in Diss, 

County Norfolk, England. He married Agnes . In Thomas 

Sherman's will, dated November 4, 1492, and proved April 4, 
1493, he mentions his wife, Agnes, and son, John, but no other 
children. He gives to John his "lands and tenements, in Dysse 
and Yaxle;" and bequeaths "to the 'four orders of Friars' at 
Norwich, to each of them 3s. 4d.," and "will have a suitable 
Priest to celebrate for my soul and the souls of my parents and 
benefactors for the space of four years." 

Through John^ Sherman, living in Yaxley, County Suffolk, 
England, who married Agnes Fuller, daughter of Thomas, and 



122 Frank Dempster Sherman. Ph.B. [April 

their son, Thomas^ Sherman, born about 1490, an attorney-at-law, 
lord of several Manors, church warden of Yaxley, deputy 
sheriff in 1540 and 1546, and his wife, Jane Waller, daughter of 
John and Margaret (Thorolde) Waller, of Wortham, County 
Suffolk, England, Mr. Sherman's line was continued. Henry* 
Sherman, the fourth of the ten sons of Thomas and Jane (Waller) 
Sherman, the next in line, a clothier in Colchester, England, 
married Agnes Butter. They were the parents of six children. 
In his will, dated January 20, 1589, and proved July 25, 1590, he 
leaves his armour to his sons, Robert and Henry, and to Henry 
twenty pounds in addition ; he also mentions the children of the 
latter. The family name is spelled Shearman. 

Henry'^ Sherman, the oldest son of Henry,* was a clothier in 
Dedham, Essex County, England, and married Susan Lawrence, 
June 14, 1568, at Moze, County Essex. He died August 27, 
1610, in Dedham. Samuel** Sherman, the second of their twelve 
children, baptized at Dedham, January 11, 1573, was also a 
clothier in Dedham, and married Phillippa (Ward?). He died in 
161 5, and left seven children, of whom three, Samuel, Henry 
and Philip, emigrated to America, and of these Philip' Sherman, 
the youngest of the seven children, who was baptized February 
5, 1610, at Dedham, England, was the original ancestor of Frank 
Dempster Sherman in this country. He came to America in 
1633, a single man, and married in that same year Sarah Odding, 

daughter of Mrs. John Porter (Margaret ), by her first 

husband, George Odding. They had thirteen children, all of 
whom are mentioned in his will, dated July 31, 1681, and admitted 
to probate March 22, 1687. He settled first in Roxbury, Mass., 
was admitted freeman May 14, 1634, became involved in the 
Anne Hutchinson troubles, and in 1638, removed to Rhode 
Island, being one of the original settlers at Portsmouth. He was 
a large land-holder, a successful farmer, and a prominent man in 
public affairs, the first Secretary of the Colony. Fie signed his 
name "Philip Shearman." His death occurred at Portsmouth, 
R. I., March, 1687. 

Peleg* Sherman, the third child, was born 1638, in Ports- 
mouth, R. I., a farmer and next in line of descent. He married 
July 25, 1657, Elizabeth Lawton, daughter of Thomas Lawton, 
born 1639, and died after 171 1. They were the parents of four- 
teen children. He died in 1719, and his will, proved in 1719, 
mentions the various children. Being a man of industry, enter- 
prise and courage, he acquired a competence and occupied an 
honorable position among his fellow citizens. 

Thomas" Sherman, the oldest of the fourteen children, the 
next in line of Mr. Sherman's ancestors, was born August 8, 1658, 
in Portsmouth, R. I. He was a farmer in South Kingston, R. I.; 
married May 26, 1702, Lydia Wilcox, daughter of Daniel and 
Elizabeth (Cook) Wilcox, and had six children. His widow, 
Lydia, was appointed administratrix of his Estate October 12, 
1719. (She married (2nd) December 8, 1720, Thomas Potter, Sr., 



1917] Frank Dempster Sherman, Ph.D. I 23 

who died 1728.) She survived until 1756. Benjamin, their 
youngest son and fifth child, was appointed administrator of her 
will in 1757. 

Benjamin'" Sherman, born about 1712, in South Kingston, 
R. I., was first a weaver, afterwards a farmer and a note-broker. 
He married (first) his second cousin Mary* Sherman (William, ' 
Eber,^ Philip*) who was born June 29, 1724, and who died May 
12, 1763. He married (second) May, 1771, Eliabeth Cook, 
daughter of John and Ruth (Barton) Cook, born April 15, 1728, 
in Preston, Conn. She secured a divorce in September, 1779, at 
Norwich, Conn. Benjamin'" Sherman was a Tory sympathizer 
and according to traditions handed down to descendants of 
James" Sherman, his last child, he staked his farm against a 
"copper" or a "jack-knife" that the British would be victorious 
and so lost his property. That something of this kind happened 
is evident from the Land Records of South Kingston, I^. I. 

James" Sherman, baptized July 17, 1762, in South Kingston, 
R. I., enlisted in the Revolutionary Army, 1781, in Providence, 
R. I. Afterwards a farmer in Oneida and Cayuga Counties, N. Y., 
he married, 1788, in Flastern New York, Ruth Brewster (William, ° 
Ichabod,' William,'' William,^ Love,'' Elder William' Brewster 
of the Alayflozvcr), born October 25, 1764, in Lebanon, New 
London County, Conn., who died February i, 1845, i" East 
Sharon, Potter County, Pa. His death occurred January 12, 1839, 
in Moravia, Cayuga County, N. Y. Of the nine children born of 
this marriage, the fourth child and next in line of descent was: — 

James'- Sherman, born April 20, 1796, near Rome, Oneida 
County, N. Y., a farmer in Locke, Cayuga, N. Y., until 1851, and 
later at "Ash Grove," Fairfax County, Va. He married Feb- 
ruary 28, 1821, in Groton, Tompkins County, N. Y., Fidelia 
Fairchild, daughter of Stephen and Ruth (Foote) Fairchild, who 
was born November 8, 1799, in Ellenville, Ulster County, N. Y., 
and died September 3, 1875, ^^ Ash Grove, Va. He died April 
16, 1865, at the same place. Eight children, all born in Locke, 
N. Y., were the result of this union. 

James'- Sherman's will, dated July 14, 1864, was proved De- 
cember 18, 1865, at Fairfax County Court House, Va. Their 
sixth child was the John Dempster'^ Sherman mentioned at the 
beginning of this article, the father of Frank Dempster'* Sher- 
man, the fourteenth in line of descent from Thomas Sherman of 
England and the eighth from Philip' Shearman, the original 
ancestor in this country, — a long line of honorable and worthy 
forebears. 

During the last two years of his life, Frank Dempster Sher- 
man began the collecting and designing of book-plates and 
succeeded in accumulating a large number of the modern masters, 
particularly of the work of Mr. Edwin Davis French. 

His life was constructive and may be divided into two spheres, 
the artistic and the practical. In the artistic may be placed his 
love for music, poetry, architecture and, perhaps, in a secondary 



124 Vital Records of Christ's Church at Rye, New York. [April 

degree, his hobbies for collecting stamps, coins, and book-plates. 
In the practical may be placed his work in mathematics, build- 
ing, and genealogy, which demanded exact science, and minutiae 
of detail. The practical is rarely found in a person with the soul 
of the artist as expressed by Frank Dempster Sherman. 

Note : — My deep appreciation of the kindness of Mrs. Sherman is 
hereby expressed in allowing me access to and the privilege of incorporating 
in this article the genealogical data given above, and the thanks of all inter- 
ested in genealogy are due her for the generous gift to the New York Public 
Library of Mr. Frank Dempster Sherman's hand-printed books of the 
"Sherman Family." — Alexander McMillan Welch.

In the Vital Records of Massachusetts deposited in the State 
House, Boston, Mass., Vol. 153, p. 108, we find the following entry: 
"Taunton, Mass., February loth, 1862, James H. Thatcher, of 
Taunton, aged 21 (hence born about 1841), carpenter, born Taun- 
ton, son of William and Abbie (Douglas) Thatcher, was married 
to Harriet Brown of New Bedford, aged 20 (hence born about 
1842), born at New Bedford, Mass., daughter of George and Sarah 

( ) Brown ; married by Rev. S. Nickerson." I have been unable 

to definitely locate the parents of this James H. Thatcher in my rec- 
ords and suggest that in as much as his father's name is given as 
William that maybe his father was the above, No. 2029. This is not 
a proven fact, but simply a possibility, the accuracy of which is to be 
proven by further investigation.

1 56 Enlistment Roll of the Company of Captain Cornelius Van Dyck, [April 



ENLISTMENT ROLL OF THE COMPANY OF CAPTAIN 

CORNELIUS VAN DYCK, RAISED FOR THE 

DEFENCE OF FORT TICONDEROGA. 



Communicated by Willis T. Hanson, Jr., 20 Union Ave., Schenectady, N.Y. 



On May 29, 1775, the Schenectady Committee of Safety, in 
consequence of a request from the Albany Committee, voted to 
raise a company for service at Fort Ticonderoga to assist in re- 
taining possession of the cannon and other military stores that 
had been found by Ethan Allen and the "Green Mountain Boys" 
when the post was captured by them on May 10. 

To Cornelius Van Dyck of Schenectady, was given the com- 
mand of the company to be raised and the authority for making 
the necessary enlistments. The men as recruited were boarded 
about town and to each was given a ribbon, to denote in lieu 
of a uniform that the wearer was a soldier in the Continental 
service. 

Captain Van Dyck remained in Schenectady with his men 
until late in August or early in September, at which time, assigned 
to the 2nd New York Line, the company marched to Ticon- 
deroga, thence to Crown Point, and after having performed guard 
duty for a short period at the latter place, proceeded to the 
Isle Aux Noix, later forming part of the detachment that re- 
duced Chamblee and seeing active service at the siege of St. 
John's. 

How long the company preserved its unity it is impossible to 
ascertain. Captain Van Dyck, however, served with distinction 
under General Montgomery and during the remainder of the 
Canadian campaign as a military aide-de-camp. On November 21, 
1776, he was commissioned a lieutenant-colonel and assigned to 
the 1st New York Line. He served as lieutenant-colonel of 
this regiment until September 30, 1783, when he was advanced to 
the rank of colonel. 

The original role was on November 22, 1916, in my possession 
and reads as follows: 

We whose Name are hereunto subscribed have and hereby do 
voluntarily inlist under Capt. Cornelius Van Dyck to preserve 
if possible the just liberties of America and to keep and defend 
the important Post of Ticanderoga in conjunction with our 
Brothren of New-England. And we and each of us do by the 
Ties of religion honor and love of our country promise to obey 
such orders as the Capt. shall from time to time direct and 
command.

THE BUILDING FUND OF THE NEW YORK GENEA- 
LOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. 



The Board of Trustees of the New York Genealogical and 
Biographical Society announced at the Annual Meeting, Feb- 
ruary 9th, that subscriptions had been received amounting to 
glo6,000.00 to pay for the cost of the new site comprising the 
three brown stone buildings, 122, 124, 126 East 58th Street, be- 
tween Park and Lexington Avenues. The asking price for this 
site was $126,000, but when it was purchased the Stock Exchange 
had been closed and real estate was most inactive. By borrowing 
temporarily sufficient funds to pay off the mortgages the three 
buildings as above stated were bought for Sio6,ooo cash.

19 1 7-] The Building Fund of the New York Gen. and Biog. Society. I 59 



The recent purchase of the northeast corner of 58th Street 
and Park Avenue by the Princeton Club and our proximity to 
the Colony, Groiier, Metropolitan and other clubs, makes our 
location an ideal one. The site is directly opposite the New York 
Public Library Branch, which is a low building. The express 
station of the Lexington Avenue Subway will be 400 feet away. 
Subscriptions including those announced are as follows:

$4,295.59 



The Trustees are of the opinion that the proposed new building, 
to cover the three lots above referred to, will cost §175,000 and that 
to support such a building it will be necessary to have an Endow- 
ment Fund of Sioo,ooo, making a total of 8275,000. But as the 
estimated value of the building we now own (226 West 58th Street) 
is 875,000 and our present Building Fund is 84,295.59, making a 
total of 879,295.59, it will be necessary to secure subscriptions 
amounting to 8195,704.41. In order to raise the sum above named, 
the Trustees invite subscriptions payable one-half in July, 1917, 
and one-half in January, 1918, or at such time as may be con- 
venient to the subscriber. Our past experience proves that small 
subscriptions bring the large ones and therefore every subscription, 
no matter how small, is welcome.

THE ANCESTRY OF HUGH PETER OR PETERS. 



From Recent Researches by J. R. Hutchinson, 

Joint Author of the Ancestry of Abraham Lincoln. 



(Continued from Vol. XLVIII, p. 75, of the Record.) 

Extracts from the Court Rolls of the Manor of Fowey.* 

Estreats of Fines and Amercements, 32-33 Eliz. {Exact date 
of court illegible!) : 

Thomas Dickwood (3d.), and others, owe suit of court 
and have not come, therefore in mercyf as appears upon 
their heads. 

Estreats of Fines and Amercements for the Borough and Manor 
of Fowey from Michaelmas, 1619, to Michaelmas following: — 
John Trefrye, Esq. (3d.), Thomas Peter, gent (6d.), 
Henry Peter (6d.), Thomas Peters, junior (6d.), and 
others, being free tenants within the Borough and Manor 
aforesaid, owe suit of court and have made default, there- 
fore each of them in mercy as appears upon their heads. 
Of Thomas Peter, junior, for one messuage or tenement 
within the Borough and Manor aforesaid, through the 
death of one Richard Peters his ancestor, whose heir he 
is, I whence there falls to the King,§ as a relief, 2s. 6d. 
Estreats of the Courts and Views of Frank Pledge holden at 
Foye from Michaelmas, 18 James I, to Michaelmas, 19 James I: — 
Thomas Peters (3d.), Thomas Peters, junior (3d.), and 
others, free tenants of the Manor aforesaid, in mercy for 
their several defaults as appears upon their heads. 
Estreats of all Amercements aud Perquisites of the Courts of 
the Borough and Manor aforesaid, holden there from Michaelmas, 
20 James, I, to Michaelmas following: — 



* Public Record Office: Court Rolls General, 156:21 to 158:48. 

■f Defaulting tenants were at the mercy of the Lord of the Manor as 
regards the fine to which they were liable for their default; hence the term 
"in mercy." 

t The Thomas Peter here named is the eldest son of Thomas, eldest 
brother of Richard Peter. It is however difficult to understand why he should 
be here styled Richard's heir, whilst his father, Thomas, senior, who was 
strictly speaking, Richard's next heir at law, is still living, as the court rolls con- 
clusively prove him to be. Thomas, junior, it is true, was heir to his uncle 
Richard, under the latter's will, in the special sense that he had a reversionary 
interest in two houses in Fowey, contingent on the death of his younger 
brother Mathew; but as Mathew was still alive, the inheritance here recorded 
cannot have been the one so devised. The explanation so probably is that the 
messuage here in question is not one of those named in Richard's will, but 
another which he held for a term of lives, of which his nephew Thomas junior's 
life was the next life to his own. Richard being dead, Thomas, junior, would 
immediately inherit the property so estated as his uncle's heir in that particular 
case, notwithitanding the fact that his father still lived. 

§ The Manor of Fowey was a royal Manor. 



1917] The Ancestry of Hugh Peter or Peters. 181 

John Treffrye (3d.), the heirs of Henry Peters (6d,), 
Thomas Peters, gent (6cl.), Thomas Peters, junior (6d.), 
and others, free tenants within the Borough and Manor 
aforesaid, who all owe suit and have made default, in 
mercy as appears upon their heads. 

Estreats from Michaelmas, 21 James I, till the Michaelmas

Thomas Peters, gent (6d.), the heirs of Henry Pecters 
(6d.), Thomas Peeters, junior (6d.), and others, free 
tenants, in mercy for default.

Observations on the Origin of Peters of Fowey. 

Tradition has it that the founder of the Peters family of 
Fowey was "a merchant of Antwerp, who fled to England from 
the persecution of the Protestants in Germany." The statement 
is attributed! to the Rev. Charles Peters of St. Mabyn, Cornwall, 
who was born in 1690 and claimed to be a direct descendant of 
the refugee. 

This account of the family origin should be accepted with 
extreme caution. It was first put forward by a man who lived 
more than a century and a half after the earliest appearance of 
the Family in the Fowey registers; no particle of evidence is 
adduced in support of it; and the documents in our possession, 
so far from bearing it out, or even suggesting it, indicate an 
origin of a totally different character. This is not surprising, 
when we reflect that tradition is notoriously the great distorting 
mirror of genealogy. 

The true origin is perhaps to be found in that page of the 
parish register of Fowey whereon, under date of 13 Jan., 1624-5, 
is recorded the burial of " Thomas Peter, a Scottish man." 

If it be contended that this Thomas Peters is not Thomas, 
father of Hugh, but some seafarer from the far north who bore 
the same name and chanced to die at Fowey, then we are con- 
fronted by this fact: that Thomas Peters, ,2:ent, the father of 
Hugh, disappears from the Foivey Court Rolls between Michael- 
mas., 162^, and Michaelmas, 1625 — a period coincident luitli the 
above burial — and that this disappearance, in accordance with the 
invariable tisage of Court Rolls, connotes his decease. We do not 
get his obit, it is true; but that circumstance is satisfactorily ex- 
plained by the defective sequence of the existing rolls. There is 

* P. C. C. Probate Act Book. 

I The scope of the present article being restricted to Hugh Peters' an- 
cestry, no attempt is here made to extend his biography beyond the scanty 
data elicited from the foregoing evidences. Any comprehensive biographical 
sketch of the famous regicide-divine, however highly condensed, would fill 
many pages of this journal.

consequently little room for the remarkable coincidence that 
must be pleaded, if the burial here quoted is not accepted as his. 

Apart from this illuminating record, there is another piece of 
evidence which, though slight in itself, is nevertheless strongly 
corroborative of the family's Scottish origin. It is found in the 
will of William Peter alias Dick wood, 1578. That testator calls 
his son Robert by a diminutive which none but a north country- 
man would use. He calls him Robin — a pet name as distinctively 
Scotch as brose.

Life Members. 

Applegate, John Stilwell, a life member of the New York 
Genealogical and Biographical Society, died at his home at Red 
Bank, N. J., November 10, 1916, in the 80th year of his age. 
He was the son of Joseph Stilwell and Ann (Bray) Applegate, 
and was born in Middletown township, N. J., August 6, 1837. He 
was a descendant of Thomas Applegate, born in England and a 
freeman of Weymouth, Mass., in 1635. His ancestors were early 
settlers in Monmouth County, N. J. Mr. Applegate graduated 
from Colgate University, with the degree of A. B. in 1858 (LL. D. 
1904), and was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society and 
a life member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon Club of New York 
City. He studied law with the Honorable William L. Dayton, 
Attorney-General of New Jersey, was admitted to the Bar in 
1861, was associated with the Honorable Henry M. Nevius from 
1875 to 1879; and in partnership with Mr. Fred W. Hope, from 
1884 to 1901. He subsequently took into partnership his son, 
John S. Applegate, Jr., the firm name then being John S. Apple- 
gate & Son, of Red Bank, N. J.

1917.] Department for Registration of Pedigrees. 203 

Bepartment for ^Registration of peDigrees* 



Conducted by JOHN REYNOLDS TOTTEN. 



THE NEW YORK GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY 
conducts a department for the purpose of examining, approving and 

publishing pedigrees of individual applicants. 

The Society will accept for examination the pedigree of ANY INDI- 
VIDUAL, whether a member of the Society or not. 

Those desiring to take advantage of the facilities thus offered should apply 
to the Society for the authorized blank form on which to record the pedigree to 
be submitted for examination (enclosing 50 cents in payment for the blank). 

Applicants must either themselves, or with the assistance of professional 
genealogists, fill in the form as indicated and return the same to this Society for 
examination ; it being understood that the regular charges made by this Society 
are for examination and publication of the pedigree, and do not include genea- 
logical research in the preparation of the pedigree itself. 

When a pedigree is submitted for examination the applicant must send with 
it a preliminary fee of $15.00. Upon the receipt of a pedigree and this preliminary 
fee, the pedigree will be examined ; and if approved, it will be subsequently pub- 
lished, first in an issue of the New York Genealogical and Biographical 
Record, and the applicant will receive 2 copies of the Record containing the pedi- 
gree without further charge. The pedigree will thereafter (when a sufficient 
number have accumulated) be published in a volume of a series, one volume 
of which has already been issued (see Vol. VI, New York Genealogical and Bio- 
graphical Society's Collections) ; and copies of this volume will be sold to those 
whose pedigrees are contained therein at the special price of $5.00 a volume. 

Pedigrees must be submitted to the Society in form complete for publication. 
If, upon examination by the Society, essential facts are added to the pedigree by 
the examiner, a nominal fee, not to exceed $5.00, will be charged by the Society 
for ascertaining and embodying such additional information in the pedigree. 

If upon examination the pedigree is found to be essentially inaccurate, it will 
not be approved and will be returned to the applicant ; and the preliminary fee will 
be refunded, less a charge of $10.00 for expert examination. 

If, when finally examined, approved and prepared for publication, the pedi- 
gree is found to require more than one page for its proper presentation, the fee 
for publishing the same, as above explained, will be at the rate of $15.00 a page 
(pages to be similar in size and form to those of pedigrees heretofore published in 
the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, — see issues from 
April, 191 1, to date of this issue), but, in adjusting the final charge, credit for the 
payment of the preliminary fee of $15.00 will be given to the applicant. 

For the benefit of applicants desiring extra copies of their pedigrees for 
family distribution, editions of 50 copies of such pedigrees will be supplied on 
4-page folders of linen ledger paper, with space left for additional notes, for 
a fee of $5.00. 

Individuals desiring their pedigrees prepared for examination, approval 
and later publication by this Society, and who are unfamiliar with the methods 
to pursue to secure the necessary information to establish such pedigrees, or 
who are unable to devote the required time to their preparation, — are invited 
to address this Society with a view to being put in communication with a 
professional genealogist capable of establishing and submitting them (when 
established) in proper form to this Society for publication. 

Applications for examination, approval and publishing pedigrees under the 
conditions hereabove set forth should be made to the 

NEW YORK GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY, 
226 West 58TH Street, New York City.

BOOK REVIEWS. 
By John R. Totten. 

Editorial Note;— Tlie New York Genealogical and Biographical Society solicits as 
donations to its Library all newly published works on Genealogy, History and Biography, as wel) 
as all works on Town. County and State History, or works embodying information regarding the 
Vital Records of any and all localities. It also solicits the donation to the manuscript collections 
of its library any and all manuscript compilations which bear upon the above mentioned topics. 

In consideration of such donations the works so presented to the Society will be at once 
placed upon the shelves of its library and will be reviewed in the next subsequent issue of The 
New York Genealogical and Diogkaphical Kecord. each donation of such character, 
whether in printed or manuscript form, will be reviewed under the head of "Book Notices" and 
a copy of The Record containing the review will be sent to the donor. 

The Society does 7^(7^ solicit donations of jiublications or manuscripts on topics foreign to 
the above mentioned subjects, as its library is specialized and cannot accommodate material 
which does not bear directly upon its recognized sphere of usefulness. 

Donations for review in the January issue of The Record should be delivered to the 
Society before December ist of the previous year; for the April issue, before March ist; for the 
July issue before June ist; and for the October issue, before September ist. 

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

The "Book Notices" of The Record are carefully read by all librarians as well as 
genealogical students, and the review of a work in The r<ECORD is equivalent to a special 
advertisement of such work. 

Letters of transmittal of donations of such works should embody the price of the work 
donated and the name and address of the person from whom it can be purchased.

This volume is an attempt to work out from original records the early 
history of a family which came from Anjou to Norfolk temp: Henry L The 
original settler married the daughter of the Domesday holder of Hunstanton, 
and this manor still remains in the possession of the family. They were 
moved by Henry H to the Welsh March, and quickly became Marcher 
Barons of considerable importance. During the 12th and 13th centuries 
their loyalty was rewarded by civil and military employment in different 
parts of the kingdom, and full particulars are given of their services in 
the Barons' War under Henry HI, and the various campaigns of Edward \. 
Two of the family accompanied Prince Edward on the last Crusade, and one 
died in the East after having married the Queen of Cyprus. Three 
Le Stranges, as Barons of Parliament, sealed the famous letter to the Pope 
in 1 301. In 1 3 10 Hunstanton was given by John, 6th Baron of Knockin, to 
his younger brother Hamon, and since that Barony fell into abeyance in 
1594, the Hunstanton Le Stranges carried on the name to our day. 

Photogravures are given of original documents from the Record OfTice 
and elsewhere, and full pedigrees, strictly proved by references to all 
authorities cited ; a short chapter on the Heraldry of the family illustrates

Alexander Street, Rochester, N. Y. 

"A record of ten years' life with the Alcott family is but a tithe of 
the posthumous author's original intention to write his biography of not 
only his boyish companionship with Louisa Alcott and her sisters, but a vast 
fund of interesting experiences and associations with prominent people on 
both sides of the Atlantic during a long, active and useful professional 
life. Dr. Willis had so planned, but failing health caused him to realize 
the work would be beyond his physical powers. He thereupon set about out- 
lining in rough memoranda only his Alcott memories, and had barely started 
thereon when he died. This simple, sweet, wholesome book is compiled from 
these records." Recommended to all public and general reference libraries.

A Short History of Newark, N. J., by Frank J. Urquhart. 8vo, cloth, 
pp. 182, including index, illustrated. 1916. Price, 75 cents. Address: Pub- 
lishers, Baker Printing Co., No. 251 Market St., Newark, N. J. 

A most interesting volume setting forth in condensed and popular form 
the history of the development of this business center of New Jersey. Rec- 
ommended to general reference and historical libraries. 

The Life of Ulysses S. Grant, by Louis A. Coolidgc, with portraits. 
8vo, cloth, pp. 596, including index. Published by Houghton Mifflin Company, 
I he iMverside Press, Cambridge, Mass. 1917. Price, $2.00. Address : Pub- 
lishers, No. 4 Park St., Boston, Mass., or New York City. 

"This long-awaited life of Grant should take its place as the best 
biography of the great soldier and president in moderate compass. Mr. 
Coohdge has had the advantage of using not a little unpublished material, 
and has told the story of Grant's career with a vivacity and lucidity that 
will at once attract the general reader and suggest new points of view even 
to well-read students of the Civil War and Reconstruction Period. The 
interest of the narrative is increased by the reproduction of an important 
series of portraits of Grant from youth to age, many of which have never 
before been published." 

The volume rnakes a valuable supplement to the Personal Memoirs of 
Gen. Grant and it is heartily recommended to all general reference, historical 
and biographical libraries.

Charles Franci.s Adams, 1835-1915. An Autobiography, with a Memo- 
rial Address delivered November 17, 191S, by Henry Cabot Lodge. Quarto, 
cloth, pp. 224, including index, with a portrait of the author. Houghton

Address: Publishers, No. 4 Park St., Boston, Mass., or New York City. 
Copyrighted, 1916, by the Massachusetts Historical Society. 

"For more than half a century, Charles Francis Adams was one of the 
outstanding figures in American public life. The record that he left of 
his long and active career forms a notable document, rivalling in frankness 
the famous Diary of Gideon Welles. With its unsparing self-criticism, its 
vigorous denunciation of certain famous contemporaries, its ever-present 
integrity and idealism, it is a complete picture of a powerful personality. 



220 Book Reviews. [April 

"In addition to its great personal and literary interest, the book is of 
decided historic importance for the light it throws on many episodes of the 
Civil War, and on our social and economic development during the last 
fifty years. 

"In 1913, Mr. Adams sent to the Massachusetts Historical Society a 
sealed package, containing, as he expressed it, 'an autobiographical sketch,' 
to serve as material for a memoir to be prepared for publication in the Pro- 
ceedings of the Society, when the occasion should arise. Full authority was 
given to the Editor of the Society to make such use of this 'sketch' as seemed 
proper. Of the contemporaries of Mr. Adams no one remained qualified, by 
knowledge or sympathy, to prepare a memoir, and the autobiographical 
sketch, on examination, made a search for a biographer unnecessary. It is 
full and characteristic of the writer." 

Recommended to all general reference, historical, biographical and 
genealogical libraries. 

History of the Hume, Kennedy and Brockman Families, in three 
parts, by William Everett Brockman, Washington, D. C. 1916. 8vo, cloth, 
pp. 272, with 39 illustrations of family interest, table of contents, but nn 
name index. Price, $4.00. Address: Author, No. 1012 B. Street, N. E. 
Washington, D. C. 

Part I (in pages) is devoted to the genealogical record of the Hume 
family in Scotland and America. Part II (44 pages) to the record of the 
Kennedy family in Scotland and America, and Part III (107 pages) to a 
similar treatment of the Brockman family in England and America. Then 
follows a section on the French family of Hume and an appendix on the 
Brockman family. The work contains a fund of the most valuable genea- 
logical information. We are compelled to note with regret that the author 
has not seen fit to supply the volume with a name index, without which the 
contents of the volume is rendered much less accessible to the genealogical 
searcher. Recommended to all genealogical libraries. 

Records of the Town of New Rochelle, 1699-1828, Transcribed, Trans-

of New York City. The volume contains the records of the town meetings 
from 1699 to 1828, including land grants, deeds, wills and inventories. The 
town being originally settled by French Huguenots many of the original

translated by the Editor. We find therein lists of all public officials from 
1699 to 1828, an index of grantors and grantees in recorded land trans- 
actions, and published in full the wills of Jean Bouteiller, Paul Dubois, 
Theophile Fourrestier, Marthe Ladou (widow of Pierre), Pierre Ladou, Jean 
Martin and Ambroise Sicard. The volume is recommended heartily to all

genealogists also on account of genealogical material embodied therein. Rec-

indexed. Address : American Historical Society, 267 Broadway, N. Y. City. 
Price, $12 per volume. 

This publication will run through a number of volumes and is supposed 
to include biography at the time of and subsequent to the Civil War covering 
biographical material during the past fifty years with special attention to 
biographical material since 1900. It is compiled under the editorial super- 
vision of an advisory board among the names of whose members arc found 
many of considerable distinction in literary and educational fields. Vol. I is 
devoted to individuals of particular prominence and accomplishment. Vol. II, 
though also containing biographies of men of large distinction, also includes 
those of more modest walks of life. Genealogy is presented in many 
cases. The books are of first class workmanship and profusely illustrated, 
most of the engravings being steel plate. If the later volumes keep to the 
standard of the first two, a most valuable biographical collection will result 
"American Biography" should find a place in all pubhc and society libraries. —

GEORGE AUSTIN MORRISON, JR. 



Contributed By John Reynolds Totten. 



George Austin Morrison, a member of the New York Genealogi- 
cal and Biographical Society, died suddenly Thursday morning, 
November 30th, 1916. Mr. Morrison had on Wednesday evening 
attended, at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, the dinner of the St. 
Andrew's Society, of which Society he was at one time the Presi- 
dent ; and later in the evening had with his family gone on to a ball 
at "Sherrys." While there he was fatally stricken and instantly 
succumbed, being taken in the full vigor of an exceptionally useful 
career. 

He was the son of the late George Austin Morrison,* who 
died on February i6th, 1916 — who was likewise a member of this 
Society — both father and son being called within the short period of 
ten months. His mother was Lucy Anne King who died some years 
ago. 

Mr. Morrison was bom in New York City, March 26th, 1864, 
and received his early education from private tutors and at the 
Cutler School in that city. He subsequently entered Harvard Col- 
lege receiving his degree of B.A., "cum laude" in 1887; after which 
he entered the Columbia University Law School graduating there 
as LL.B., in 1889; in the meantime he had taken a course of Political 
Science at Columbia, receiving his degree of M.A. in 1888. He 
spent two years in the law offices of Coudert Brothers in New 
York City and three years in those of Olin, Rives and Montgomery. 
In 1897 he opened an office of his ow.- and practiced alone until 
1901, when he associated himself with his brother Charles King 
Morrison, under the firm name of Morrison and Morrison, which 
association continued until 1906 when it was dissolved ; and from 
that time on he was without a partner until February ist, 1916, 
when he discontinued private practice. He then became Treasurer 
of the Metals Trading Corporation of New York, and later Treas- 



*0f whom a biographical sketch appeared in the July, 1916, issue of this 
publication. 



226 George Austin Morrison. Jr. [July 

urer of the United Zinc and Smelting Corporation, both of which 
offices he held at the time of his death. 

Early in life he gave evidence of literary taste and ability and 
from 1888 till 1892 he wrote the plays for the Columbia University 
Dramatic Club and also composed the comic operas "Lafayette" and 
"Narcissus." 

Nature had endowed him with a remarkably fine natural voice, 
which by study with the best masters he so developed as to rank 
amongst the best amateur baritone singers of his native City ; had 
circumstances rendered it necessary he would have found a suc- 
cessful career in the field of vocal music. 

Early in life in pursuit of knowledge relative to his family his- 
tory, he became interested in genealogical research, and was the 
author of Kiny Genealogy, Clement King of Marshficld, Mass., 1668, 
and his Descendants, an essay of 65 pages which he published in 
1898; in 1900 he published the De Camp Genealogy, Laurent De 
Camp of New Utrecht, N. Y .. 1664, and his Descendants, a small 
volume of yy pages of which he was also the author; and in 1903 
he published his most important genealogical work which has been 
given to the public, namely, The Clarke Families of Rhode Island, a 
work of some 337 pages. In addition to these published volumes he 
contributed to the New York Genealogical and Biographical 
Record valuable articles on the "Freer Family" and on the "King 
Family in England," and an exhaustive article on "King Family 
Heraldry," together with other less extensive but equally valuable 
articles on other subjects of genealogical interest. Up to the time 
of his death he was still engaged in compiling additional information 
on the "King Family in England;" and he presented to the New York 
Genealogical and Biographical Society the result of his gleanings in 
this field in the shape of a four volume manuscript on the subject, 
fully indexed. It was doubtless his intention to publish this manu- 
script had time been allowed him. 

He, also, with much labor, compiled, and in 1906 published, a 
Memorial History of the Saint Andrezv's Society of the State of 
Nezv York, 1756-1906, an exhaustive work of 294 pages. 

On January loth, 1902, he became a member of the New York 
Genealogical and Biographical Society and so continued until his 
death. Owing to his ability and to his great interest in the aims of 
the Society, he soon became prominent in its official aft'airs. He was 
elected Chairman of the Executive Committee in 1903 and served 
as such until 1903; on January 8th, 1904, he was elected a Trustee 
of the Society and held that office until his death; on January 12th, 
1904, he became Treasurer thereof and served until 1907, when he 
declined re-election and was made Editor of the New York (Genea- 
logical AND Biographical Record, the official publication of the 
Society, in which capacity he was Chairman of the Publication Com- 
mittee ; he served as Editor until 1900 when he declined re-election, 
but remained a member of the Publication Committee until his 



19 '7] George Austin Morrison, Jr. 227 

death. In 1900 he was elected 2n(l \'ice-President of the Society. 
serving one year and declining re-election. While Treasurer and 
Chairman of the Executive Committee he initiated steps which 
resulted in the fuller recording of the business transactions of the 
Society, evolving the present system of office accounting which up to 
date has proved efficient and comprehensive ; and by utilizing his 
personal office force for carrying on the duties of Treasurer he 
saved the Society much expense in the employment of additional 
clerical labor. 

As a Trustee he was constant in his attendance at the meetings 
of the Board, and was regarded as a strong member of that body; 
as Editor of the Record he devoted himself with energy to its 
improvement and the character of that publication for the years 
1907, '08 and '09, bears evidence of his energy in its behalf; as a 
member of the Publication Committee his judgement was ripe and 
excellent in the selection of material to present to the genealogical 
public. 

Upon receipt of word of his untimely death, a special meeting 
of the Board of Trustees of the Society was called, at which meeting 
special resolutions in his memory were passed which were published 
in the January, 1916, issue of the Record; and the entire Board of 
Trustees were present at his funeral ceremonies. 

Mr. Morrison was a member of the New York Historical Society 
and of the Society of Sons of the Revolution in the State of New 
York, and at the time of his death was one of the Board of Mana- 
gers of the latter Society and a delegation therefrom was present 
at his funeral. He was likewise a member of the Society of Colo- 
nial \\^ars in the State of New York. Being of Scotch descent, on 
his father's side, he was for many years a member of the Saint 
Andrew's Society, and served as the President thereof 1911-1914, 
and as Secretary, 1894-1909; he was also a member of the St. 
George's Society, and of the St. Nicholas Society of New York 
City. Shortly before his death he was elected a member of the 
Rhode Island State Society of the Cincinnati, a delegation from 
which Society attended his funeral. In addition to this numerous 
list of societies, of each one of which he was an active member, he, 
within a few years of his death, became a member of the \'etcran 
Corps of Artillery, State of New York, in which organization he 
took great interest ; and he was also a hereditary member of the 
Society of the War of 1812. His clubs in New York City were the 
Metropolitan and the Lawyers. 

Mr. Morrison was married on April 9th, 1912, to Magdalen 
Sophrona Worden, daughter of Linus Dean and Mary Ann (Kraft) 
Worden, of Utica, N. Y., who survives him, and by whom he had 
no children. He is also survived by one brother, Charles King 
Morrison, Esq., of New York City. 

His funeral ceremonies were held at St. Thomas' Church. 53rd 
Street and Fifth Avenue, New York City, on Saturday morning, 
December 2nd, 1916, at 10 A.M. Dr. Stires, Rector of St. Thomas'

Church officiated, and a delegation from the Veteran Corps of 
Artillery, in full uniform, acted as Honorary Pall bearers. 

Such was the sudden and untimely end of a career of unusual 
usefulness, leaving a sense of deep loss to those who were privileged 
to know and associate with him in the various activities of his 
busy life.

AN EARLY COLONIAL MANUSCRIPT AND BIO- 
GRAPHICAL NOTES THEREON. 



Contributed bv Richard Schermerhorn, Jr. 



The list of guests at Jeremiah Van Rensselaer's funeral is 
the earliest schedule of the heads of families of Albany, Schenec- 
tady and Rensselaersvvyck among the existing records of that 
period. Undoubtedly there were many dwellers in this vicinity 
to whom the honor of an invitation was not extended, but these 
must have consisted of persons living in far-away districts, or 
those who were of distinctly menial occupation or undesirable 
from some other cause. A few of the prominent Albany families 
of that time are not represented on this list, but that is undoubt- 
edly because the oldest male member of the family was under 
age. It is difficult at this moment to determine whether the 
grouping of invited guests in three lists has any practical signifi- 
cance. The pall-bearers naturally were the ones signally hon- 
ored and apparently included all the magistrates serving at the 
time, as well as others who then either held some particular posi- 
tion of prominence or had been for some reason close friends of 
the deceased. Perhaps sheet No. 4 was intended to represent a 
list of inhabitants of Schenectady, but there are so many Schenec- 
tady residents on the other lists that quite likely this assump- 
tion is not wholly proper. It may be interesting to notice how many 
in this year 1674 were known by their patronymic and how com- 
paratively few family names are in evidence. The full names 
which were borne by members of these families at later periods 
are indicated by additions in parenthesis. 

The biographical memoranda of the various individuals of 
this list have been gathered after careful study of the early 
records. It is intended to indicate just in what capacity these 
early Dutch settlers figured in their community, which should 
be of interest to their descendants today. Biographies of these 
individuals have been outlined in Pearson's and O'Callaghan's 
works and in the Van Rensselaer-Bowier Mss., but attention in these 
publications has been given principally to genealogical details, 
real estate transactions, time of emigration and places of early 
residence in Holland. Where names on the original list are 
found to be omitted in the biographical lists, it may be assumed 
that the public activities of these people could not be determined. 
Unless other places are mentioned, Albany is always supposed 
to be the place referred to. 

The author does not claim that the biographies are com- 
plete. He has given as close a study to the subject as his 
present facilities admit, but undoubtedly additional material could

be obtained by a more thorough study, and particularly by ex- 
amining original manuscripts. Records in process of publication 
by the State of New York will undoubtedly furnish more ma- 
terial of this character. The author believes the list to be a repre- 
sentative one of the early Dutch settlers of the Albany district 
of New York State, but it also includes quite a number of New 
York City names, so many of the families originating in Albany 
having become prominent in New York City also. In most cases 
the list is composed of the original settlers, but there are, how- 
ever, quite a number of names of sons of the latter. No at- 
tempt has been made to search records for biography later than 1700.

30o Department for Registration of Pedigrees. [July 

Bepartment for ^Registration of peDigrees- 



Conducted by JOHN REYNOLDS TOTTEN. 



THE NEW YORK GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY 
conducts a department for the purpose of examining, approving and 
publishing pedigrees of individual applicants. 

The Society will accept for examination the pedigree of ANY INDI- 
VIDUAL, whether a member of the Society or not. 

Those desiring to take advantage of the facilities thus offered should apply 
to the Society for the authorized blank form on which to record the pedigree to 
be submitted for examination (enclosing 50 cents in payment for the blank). 

Applicants must either themselves, or with the assistance of professional 
genealogists, fill in the form as indicated and return the same to this Society for 
examination ; it being understood that the regular charges made by this Society 
are for examination and publication of the pedigree, and do not include genea- 
logical research in the preparation of the pedigree itself. 

When a pedigree is submitted for examination the applicant must send with 
it a preliminary fee of $15.00. Upon the receipt of a pedigree and this preliminary 
fee, the pedigree will be examined; and if approved, it will be subsequently pub- 
lished, first in an issue of the New York Genealogical and Biographical 
Record, and the applicant will receive 2 copies of the Record containing the pedi- 
gree without further charge. The pedigree will thereafter (when a sufficient 
number have accumulated) be published in a volume of a series, one volume 
of which has already been issued (see Vol. VI, New York Genealogical and Bio- 
graphical Society's Collections) ; and copies of this volume will be sold to those 
whose pedigrees are contained therein at the special price of $5.00 a volume. 

Pedigrees must be submitted to the Society in form complete for publication. 
If, upon examination by the Society, essential facts are added to the pedigree by 
the examiner, a nominal fee, not to exceed $5.00, will be charged by the Society 
for ascertaining and embodying such additional information in the pedigree. 

If upon examination the pedigree is found to be essentially inaccurate, it will 
not be approved and will be returned to the applicant; and the preliminary fee will 
be refunded, less a charge of $10.00 for expert examination. 

If, when finally examined, approved and prepared for publication, the pedi- 
gree is found to require more than one page for its proper presentation, the fee 
for publishing the same, as above explained, will be at the rate of $15.00 a page 
(pages to be similar in size and form to those of pedigrees heretofore published in 
the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, — see issues from 
April, 1911, to date of this issue), but, in adjusting the final charge, credit for the 
payment of the preliminary fee of $15.00 will be given to the applicant. 

For the benefit of applicants desiring extra copies of their pedigrees for 
family distribution, editions of 50 copies of such pedigrees will be supplied on 
4-page folders of linen ledger paper, with space left for additional notes, for 
a fee of $5.00. 

Individuals desiring their pedigrees prepared for examination, approval 
and later publication by this Society, and who are unfamiliar with the methods 
to pursue to secure the necessary information to establish such pedigrees, or 
who are unable to devote the required time to their preparation, — are invited 
to address this Society with a view to being put in communication with a 
professional genealogist capable of establishing and submitting them (when 
established) in proper form to this Society for publication. 

Applications for examination, approval and publishing pedigrees under the 
conditions hereabove set forth should be made to the 

NEW YORK GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY, 
226 West 58th Street, New York City.

BOOK REVIEWS. 

By John R. Totten. ^ 

Editorial Note:— The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society solicits as 
donations to its Library all newly published works on Genealogy, History and Biography, as well 
as all works on Town, County and State History, or works embodying inlorraation regartiing the 
Vital Records of any and all localities. It also solicits the donation to the manuscript collections 
of its library any and all manuscript compilations which bear upon the above mentioned topics. 

In consideration of such donations the works so presented to the Society will be at once 
placed upon the shelves of its library and will be reviewed in the next subsequent issue of The 
New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, each donation of such character, 
whether in printed or manuscript form, will be reviewed under the head of " Book Notices " ana 
a copy of The Record containing the review will be sent to the donor. 

The Society does «(?/ solicit donations of publications or manuscripts on topics foreign to 
the above mentioned subjects, as its library is specialized and cannot accommodate material 
which does not bear directly upon its recognized sphere of usefulness. 

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

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

The "Book Notices" of The Record are carefully read by all librarians as well as 
genealogical students, and the review of a work in The Record is equivalent to a special 
advertisement of such work. 

Letters of transmittal of donations of such works should embody the price of the work 
donated and the name and address of the person from whom it can be purchased.

thropic and social circles in Philadelphia renders this volume of great in-

220 Book Reviews. [July 

We are primarily impressed with the perfection of this volume from 
the printer's standpoint, the excellence of the paper, typography, binding 
and illustration being of an artistic standing defying adverse criticism. In 
perusing the volume we are then confronted with a realization of the 
preliminary erudite study and investigation necessary to produce the re- 
sults set forth therein. Prof. Gottheil by his eminence in his profession 
and by his birth was specially adapted to carry this investigation through 
to the success he has achieved. He has made an exhaustive study of the 
history of various branches of this family in Spain, Portugal and their sub- 
sequent arrival in the Netherlands, with a sketch of that branch of which 
Fran(;ois de Schonenberg, Marquis of Brabant, was a picturesque repre- 
sentative, and with chapters on the second branch of the family in Amster- 
dam, the family of Manuel, Baron de Belmonte, the family of Jacob Bel- 
monte, in Amsterdam, stray members of the Amsterdam family in Holland, 
France, England, etc., the Belmonts in Hamburg, the Spanish and Portu- 
guese communities in Germany, the Belmonts in Alzey and finally a sketch of 
August Belmont, the founder of the family in America, whose representa- 
tives occupy much prominence in the financial and social world of to-day. 
To the American genealogist the volume is most interesting on account of 
the history and genealogy of the family of Alzey, a town situated in that 
part of the Rheinland known as the Pfalz, halfway between Bingen and 
Worms, from which branch of the family August Belmont, the American 
financier, and his descendants derive their origin. August Belmont's line of 
descent is fully set forth in the genealogical chart in the volume and is 
further illuminated by the body of text bearing thereupon. The appendix 
to the volume contains printed copies of many original letters bearing upon 
the history of the various branches of this family and is enriched by num- 
erous genealogical charts giving a quick method of tracing lines of descent. 
We heartily recommend the work to all biographical and genealogical 
libraries. 

The Ancestry and Descendants of Edmund Whittier, with a survey 
of the early Whittiers in America, and some notes on related ancestries,

Like all of the preceding volumes of this series, the work is a com- 
plete gazetteer of the state and will be a valuable book of reference in all 
libraries, to which it is recommended. Its detailed lists of all of the 
United States, Maine State, County, City and town offices for 1916-17, 
renders it of value to historical and genealogical libraries. 

Historic Sheperdstown (Jefferson County, W. Va.), by Danske Bed-

with frontispiece portrait of author. Price. $2.50. Address: Miss Violet 
Dandridge, Rose Brake, Sheperdstown, W. Va. 

We seldom have the pleasure of perusing a volume which present facts 
of historic interest in so fascinating and readable form. It is true, of 
course, that the locality in the Shenandoah Valley is one fruitful of 
historic events, located as it is so near to Antietam, Harpers Ferry, and in 
the Valley rendered so well known in the Civil War. The book is full of 
material of interest to historians and genealogists and we recommend it 
without stint to libraries of that class. 

Highways and Byways in Galloway and Carrick (Scotland), by

don, Eng. Price, $2.00. Address: The MacMillan Company, 64-66 Filth 
Avenue, New York City. 

Until the presentation of this volume we have had no complete and 
authoritative "book of the road" of this picturesque and historically in- 
teresting section of Scotland. By its perusal we may mentally visit the lo- 
calities and prepare ourselves most understandingly for a future visit in the 
flesh. It may be said to be a most popular and readable guide rendered all 
the more interesting by the profuse illustration of its contents. Recom- 
mended to all general reference and historical libraries.

332, illustrated and with full index. Price, $2.00 net. Address: Publishers. 

A most excellent, popular, literary picture of this old and new Puritan 
City, the "Hub" of New England (or shall we say in deference to Puritan 
pride the "Hub" of the Universe). The body of the text brmgs before 
us an excellent mental view of the old and new city and the illustrations do 
their share in fixing the impressions upon our minds. Recommended to 
general reference and historical libraries and on account of its illustrations 
to genealogical libraries.

The previously published works of the author shows conclusively that 
he approached his present work with a basis of sound knowledge which fully 
accounts for the literary excellence and historical accuracy of this work 
which is beyond criticism as to its excellence. It will be a source of in- 
valuable information to those interested in the history of this territory 
and the incidents attendant upon its development and we heartily recom- 
mend it to all historical and general reference libraries. The illustrations

It is a pleasure to call attention to this scholarly work which gives 
from such authoritative sources the history of this old Maryland County. 
Dr. Henry Davies, Pastor of Christ P. E. Church of Easton, Md., in his 
elaborate appreciation of the work justly says, "Justice, even meagre jus- 
tice, could not be done in this notice of these revelations." The work is not 
only a complete history of this county, but, it is a contribution to the His- 
tory of the State of Maryland and hence to that of the United States. In 
addition to the strictly historical material, we are given memoirs of some 
fifty worthies of Talbot County amongst whom we may mention that of 
General Tench Tilghman. who was an aide and Secretary to Genera! Wash- 
ington during the entire Revolutionary War. The work is heartily wel- 
comed and recommended to all historical, biographical and genealogical 
libraries and to those of general reference.

This volume of papers of the original Connecticut State Society of the

Records of the Connecticut State Society of the Cincinn.\ti, 1783-

ciety, Hartford, Conn. Price not stated. 

"The Connecticut State Society of the Cincinnati, one of the distinct 
state organizations which together constitute the General Society, was, like 
the General Society, organized in camp on the Hudson River in July, 1783. 
The Society, composed of officers who had served for three years in the 
American army during the war of the Revolution, was organized upon an 
'Institution' which breathed a lofty spirit of patriotism, friendship and bene- 
volence. Unfortunately for the Society, as it proved, the right of mem- 
bership descended from the original members and oflicers in the line of 
eldest male descent. This regulation at once created a feeling of prejudice 
and opposition toward the Society throughout the country; a feeling which 
the French idea of liberty and equality so prevalent in the United States 
a few years later probably served to increase. It was believed that the 
Society was an attempt to establish a military aristocracy in the new re- 
public. The opposition to it was so strong in Connecticut that the Society 
was refused an act of incorporation by the General .Assembly in October, 
1803. This was the beginning of the end; for at its annual meeting on 
July 4, of the following year. 1804, the Society passed a formal vote of 
dissolution because of the strong prejudice against it. At the same meeting 
votes were passed that each member or his legal heirs should be entitled 
to receive his proportion of the funds of the Society, and that all moneys 
not paid to members by the loth day of the following May should be 
placed in the treasurv of Yale College in trust, to be paid over on application 
to the several persons entitled to receive them. A vote was also passed 
that all the books, papers and other documents of the Society be deposited 
in the hands of John Mix of Farmington. the then Secretary. Lieutenant 
John Mix died February 23, 1826, and on January T2. 1842, Egbert Cowles, 
the administrator of his estate, delivered these books of records, accom- 
panying manuscript documents and printed pamphlets, to the Connecticut 
Historical Society, in whose custody they have since remained. 

The records proper are contained in two small volumes; the earlier 
consisting of 168 pages of which three are blank, the other of 58 written 
pages followed by many blank pages. Together they form the volume here 
published, the reproduction being the exact size of the original pages. 



224 Book Reviews. [July

RuGGLEs AND ALLIED FAMILIES, by Henry Stoddard Ruggles, of Wake- 
field, Mass. Special copy containing extra illustrations and fac-similes of 
autographs and to which is appended an account of the allied families of 
Kingsley, Ross and Goodwin. Royal, octavo, pp. 246+ full name index, 
with 40 full page illustrations of family interest. 

A first class genealogical work of evident authoritative compilation 
which is presented to the public in the best style of the printer's and illus- 
trator's art. The author is to be highly complimented for the broad minded 
family interest which has stimulated him to produce a volume calculated to 
be of great value to the present generation and to posterity. 

The Life and Times of David Humphreys, Soldier, Statesman, Poet 
"Belov'd of Washington," by Frank Landon Humphreys. 1917. 8vo, cloth, 
2 vols., pp. 451+506, with index in 2nd volume, illustrated. The Knicker- 
bocker Press. G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York City. Price, $7.50 the set. 
Address : Frank Landon Humphreys, Union League Club, i East 39th 
Street, New York City. 

"Sagacious and far-seeing. David Humphreys was an ideal leader for 
a nation in its beginnings. He was the first to insist upon the formation 
of an United States Fleet, and also to suggest the establishment of a Naval 
Militia. Staunch and loyal, he was the constant defender and upholder of 
Washington and his policies, not only when the first President was adulated, 
but when he was the target for the meanest and most virulent abuse." 

The work is a scholarly efYort and is a most valuable contribution to 
the history of this country, outside of the most interesting presentation of 
the life of this honored soldier and statesman. Recommended to all general 
reference, historical, biographical and genealogical libraries.

pp. 337. including index, illustrated. 1913. New York. Charles Scribner's 
Sons. 5th Avenue and 48th Street, New York City. Price, $1.50. Address: 
Publishers.

highly social importance where the writers were honored guests. Recom- 
mended to general reference libraries and to biographical societies as a 
work of extreme interest.

Theodore Roosevelt, The Logic of his Career, by Charles G. Wash- 

R/=?;n H ^°''^'-F''i^-'4i "'"'i''^''''- '9l6. Houghton. Mifflin Company, 
Boston and New York. Price, $1.50 net. Address : Publishers. 

"Nearly forty years of close personal friendship, dating back to col- 
lege days, has given Ex-Congressman Washburn an opportunity such as few 
nien have possessed for a close range study of one of the most interesting 
characters m American history. 

Though sometimes differing from him in politics, Mr. Washburn has 
remained always a close and candid friend. As a result, he has been able 
to write a book that stands alone as a fresh, graphic character study of 
piquant frankness. Written with a zest that recalls the style of the Ex- 
President himself, it will have a popular appeal such as few biographies 
possess, while the fresh light that it throws on the Colonel's career will 
be a revelation even to his closest followers." 

Recommended to historical and biographical libraries.

. "^^'^ timely book presents the peace issue between the belligerents

ties, Pa., edited by John W. Jordan, LL.D., and James Hadden. Quarto,

the Takott Pedigree, Dorothy, daughter of Mark Mott, and came 
to Boston in the company of the Rev. Mr. Hooker, which sailed 
in the ship Lion from England, June 22, 1632, and arrived at its

the founders of the city of Hartford. In that Colony he was a 
member of the General Court, being styled "The Worshipful," 
and served as Treasurer thereof from 1652 to 1659. He died in 
1660 and was survived by his wife ten years. His son, Lt. Col. 
John Talcott, succeeded him as Treasurer, holding the position 
from May 17, 1660, to 1676. The latter's son was Governor of the 
Colony from 1724 to 1741.

Rev. Amzi Francis of Bridgehampton, Long Island, he had four 
children, viz: James Frederick Talcott, Francis Edgar Talcott, 
Grace (Mrs. Warner M. Van Norden), and Edith (Mrs. H. Roswell 
Bates). Commencing business as a commission merchant in the 
city of New York in 1854 under his own name, his house, with its 
various annexes in New York and other cities, specializes in the

352 A Much Altered Family Name. [Oct. 

A MUCH ALTERED FAMILY NAME. 



By Ding man Versteeg. 

Author of " Manhattan in 1628." 



Few New Netherland names have been more twisted out of 
recognition than that of Verschuur or Verscheur. As long as 
the bearers and their neighbors still maintained a reading ac- 
quaintance with the classic tongue of New Netherland the name 
did not swerve much from its original form. When, however, 
the exigency of the time and the circumstances of life forced 
the descendants of New Netherland's pioneers to devote most of 
their time to learning English, and consequently to discontinue, 
to a large extent, the study of their mother tongue, it became 
different. English pronunciation, also began to replace the 
Dutch pronunciation. The influence of the political language 
over the popular speech gradually became irresistable, chiefly 
because the newly arriving immigrants, though English neither 
by birth nor sympathies, naturally accepted the tongue which 
would be most useful to them in the country of their adoption. 
Therefore, though English did not entirely replace Dutch until 
about 1840, it had been discontinued here as a literary tongue 
long before that time, and very many Dutch names, pronounced 
according to English rules — or lack of rules — had been twisted 
out of even a semblance to their original identity. 

Besides many people bearing the names of Van der Schueren, 
Van der Schuur, Van Schuur, Van der Schuure, Ver Schuure and 
Van der Schuuren, there were, in 1687 at least three males by 
the name of Verschuur or Verscheur. Wouter Gysbertsen Ver- 
scheur who had arrived in New Netherland in 1649, and who had 
married Dorothea Jochems Callier; and Jochem and Hendrick 
Verschuur, both natives of this country, Jochem, born July 8, 
1668, and Hendrick, born May 27, 1671, sons of Wouter, and all 
living at the time at Boswyck (Bushwick), L. L Even at this 
early date the name began to be misspelled; Verschuere, Ver- 
schuer, Verscheure and other modifications trying to supercede 
the original form. It would appear that the Verscheurs early 
joined the "treks" into New Jersey, for after May 14, 1702, when 
Claes, child of Jochem Verscheure was baptized at Brooklyn, 
their names disappear from the Kings Co. Church records. 
There is a gap between their last appearance at Brooklyn and 
their next appearance at Hackensack. The probability is that 
they joined the church at the Ponds which was organized in 17 10 
but the records of which are stated to have been burned with the 
parsonage a quarter of a century, or longer, ago. This calamity 
was responsible for serious breaks in many family genealogies 
and the Verschuurs doubtless are among them. This record 
also would show the gradual modification of the name. 

When they next appear at Hackensack, Schraalenburgh and 
especially at Paramus, the modification had become so marked 
that only a close comparison and a knowledge of the way the 



I9I7-J A Muck Altered Family Name. 351 

original name would likely be pronounced in a rural Dutch 
community, subject to English lingual influences, enable the 
genealogist— by analogy— to revert to the original name. 

On Sept 27, 1724, there was baptized at Hackensack, Eva, 
child of Paulus Retan and Elizabeth Fosuw. Here the original 
name, by itself, is unrecognizable. Only comparison with other 
forms will lead back to it. At the baptism of their son Johan- 
nes, on Aug. 8, 1731, her name is entered as Elizabeth Foshier. 
Mantjen, bapt. Jan. 21, 1739, is entered as the child of Jacob 
Fescheur. Jacob Fesyies— probably a grandson of the former— 
on March 21, 1790, had his son Isaac baptized. 

The Schraalenburgh records are still more puzzling. On 
Feb. 20, 1763, Pieter Vasie had twins baptized there named 
Jacobus and Barent. One of the witnesses at the baptism was 
Barent Vasie, who may have been the grandfather or an uncle of 
the twins. On July 7, 1782, at the baptism of Barent Demarest, 
Barent Vasei officiated as a witness. On Aug. 3, 1777, when his 
daughter Jannetie was baptized, Peter Veseur was entered as the 
father's name. Jacob Forshie and Antie Westervelt, in April, 
1794, had a daughter, Jacamyntie, baptized. At the baptism of 
their daughter Agnietje on August 26, 1792, and also at the 
baptism of their twins on July 13, 1800, his name is entered as 
Jacob Fashie. It would be too tedious a task to trace in detail 
the variations on the original name, and since the record has 
been published it will be sufficient to note the general deviations: 
Vasie, Vasei, Vasee, Fasui, Vasuir, Fesyeur, Fesuer, Fasei, 
Fesche, Feseur, Fousieur, Vouschie, Forshie. 

The Paramus Reformed Church records throw most light on 
the evolution, and in fact, in the absence of the connecting 
records between 1702 and 1760 — two generations — afford the 
most positive means of identification. 

On Aug. 9, 1760, there was baptized at Paramus, Catharine, 
the daughter of Barend and Francyntje Fochi. The witnesses 
were Jan and Catharina Fochi. Jannetje, baptized Nov. i, 1763, 
was entered as the child of Barend and Francyntje Vochie. On 
Dec. 28, 1765, at the baptism of their daughter Maria they were 
entered as Barend and Sientje Veseur, while the witnesses were 
named Pieter and Maria Vosuer. On Dec. 25, 176S, took place 
the baptism of Annatje, child of Barend and Syntje Veseur. 
When on April 28, 1771, their daughter Magdalena was christened 
the parents' names were entered as Barend and Francyntje 
Verseur, the witnesses being Hannes and Magdalena Verseur. 

Around 1760 the rendering of the name as Fochi appears to 
have been in great favor with the registrar of the Paramus 
church, as shown by one of the foregoing entries, and also by the 
next following. When on Nov. 16, 1760, the child Jan was bap- 
tized, his parents' names are put down as Pieter and Maria Fochi, 
the witnesses' names being inscribed as Jan and Catharina Fochi. 
Fourteen years later, on April 24, 1774, at the baptism of their son 
Barend, the parents were entered as Pieter and Maria Verseur. 

The next on the list were the parents of at least seven chil- 
dren, and their names, as entered in the record, approach some- 



JCA A Muck Altered Family Name. [Oct. 

what closer to the original family cognomen. On Aug. a, 1761, 
Johannes and Lena Verseur had a son baptized named Abraham. 
Hannes and Lena Veseur, on Aug. 30, 1763, had their son Pieter 
baptized, and the witnesses were Pieter and Maria Veseur. At 
the baptism of their daughter Annatje, May a6, 1765, the parents 
are recorded as Hannes and Lena Ferseur. When on May 15, 
1768, their son Barend was baptized, the parents were entered as 
Hannes and Lena Veseur. At the baptism of Cornelis, July i, 
1770, they appear as Hannes and Lena Verseur. Their names 
are entered as Hannes and Lena Versieur at the baptism of their 
son Willem on March ai, 1773, the witnesses being Willem and 
Lisabeth Versieur. Three years later, on March 31, 1776, at the 
baptism of their son Samuel, the parents are again recorded 
under the name of Hannes and Lena Veseur. 

Willem and Lisabeth Vesieur on June 7, 1764, had their son 
Jan baptized, the names of the witnesses being given as Jan and 
Catriena Veseur. On March 23, 1766, at the baptism of his son 
Cornelis, the father's name was put down as Willem Voseur. 
The same parents on Sept. 9, 1769, at the baptism of their son 
David, were entered as Willim and Lisabeth Veseur. 

In 1787 the second Paramus generation of Verscheurs began 
to appear as parents of children. The first one of this second 
generation was Abraham, the son of Johannes. On March 4, 
1787, there was baptized Magdalena, and her parents names were 
given as Abraham and Elisabeth Fersyeur, while the witnesses 
were entered as Johannes and Rebecka Fersyeur, which sounds 
somewhat as people of English education would pronounce Ver- 
schuur or Verscheur. On Sept. 28, 1788, at the baptism of their 
son Jacob, the parents' names were given as Abraham and Elisa- 
beth Feryeur. In Oct., 1790, their daughter Annatje was baptized 
and at this time they were registered as Abraham and Elisabeth 
Feyuer, while two years later, on Sept. 18, 1792, at the baptism 
of their son John, they were recorded as Abraham and Elisabeth 
Fesheur. On Nov. 2, 1794, at the christening of their son Abra- 
ham, they were entered as Abraham and Elisabeth Fesjeur. 
Their names were given as Abraham and Elisabeth Fesyeur at 
the baptism of their daughter Antje on June ao, 1798. Seven 
years elapsed before there appeared another baptismal entry, 
recording an addition to their family. Then, on Feb. 20, 1805, 
their son Peter was baptized and here they were recorded as 
Abraham and Elisabeth Forshur. They appeared under the 
name of Abraham and Elisabeth Forshuer at the christening of 
their son William on Dec. 18, 1806, and were entered as Abraham 
and Elisabeth Forshea at the baptism of their youngest child 
Magdalena on Feb. 21, 1808. 

Catrientje, baptized July 15, 1787, had as parents Jan W. and 
Wyntje Fersyeur, while on Nov. i, 1789, at the baptism of their 
son Johannes, these were entered as Jan W. and Wyntje Fesyeur. 

It would appear that many of the Verscheur or Verschuur 
descendants had moved away from Paramus, and like so many 
thousands of other pioneer families had joined in the "treks" 
further South, North and West. At least the next, to appear in 



'9'7-] Kings County, New York, Dieds. 



355 



chronological succession, on the record, are Cornel is and lan- 
netje Fesyeur, who on Sept. 8, 1793, had their son William bap- 
tized, and on Jan, 24, 1796, were entered as the parents of a jrirl 
named Jannetje. 

On Nov. 1 6, 1 794, David and MariaFesyeur were registered as the 
parents of William, while on Oct. 18, 1807. at the baptism of their 
daughter Tnentje, they were named David and Maria Forshur. 

It IS evident that, towards the end of the i8th and the begin- 
ning of the 19th century, with one branch of the family at least, 
the name began to reapproach somewhat to the original form] 
and had become more fixed. Elizabeth, baptized May 24, i8oi; 
Rachel, baptized Jan: 29, 1804; John, baptized Sept. 29, 1805, and 
David, baptized June 11, 1810, are all entered as children of Cor- 
nelius and Maria Forshur. They probably had more children, 
but if so, these doubtless were baptized in other denominational 
or neighboring churches. 

There is one more evidence of the undoubted Dutch origin 
of the various modifications of the same original name, noted in 
this article. It was penned at a time when Dutch as a literary 
tongue, was beginning to be somewhat neglected by even the 
educated religious leaders of the descendants of New Netber- 
land's pioneers, and reads as follows: " List of members found by 
the Reverend Wilhelmus Eltinge at the time of his house visiting 
throughout the Congregation of Paramus, about May i, 1799: 

Barend and Francyntje Ferschuir, married people. 

Catharina, wife of Fershuir."
