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
14 Charles William Whipple, U. S. Army. [Jan.
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
iqiy.J Saratoga County, N. K, Epitaphs — Green Ridge Cemetery. I J
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,

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.

character and should have every attention paid to him; he will
frequently want your aid in getting to West Point, which 1 make no

you will serve the public and much
oblige your very humbl servant

Boston, Mass., who told me he was a grandson of the original

Lucretia Henry.
Since the record was copied, I am informed by Mr. Tompkins,
the Bible has been stolen from his home, so that the preservation
of its record, seems particularly fitting.

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.

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

(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.

by the name of the half part of his Grange or Barton of Trenant,

John Treffry died 27 Jan., 33 Eliz. The other moiety of the said
tenement, and the reversion of the moiety so given to Emblyn,
descended to William Treffry as son and heir of John; and he
(William), by his deed dated 6 March, n Eliz., gave and confirmed
unto the aforesaid Emblyn the moiety of the tenement aforesaid.

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.

(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
of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society and
Long Island Historical Society.

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.

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.

ISO Bleecker Street, N. Y. 1916. Price, $10.00. Address: Publisher.
A most excellent compilation bearing all the indications of careful prep-

profusely illustrated with plates of great family interest. The excellent ar-
rangement of the four Bevier family charts at tlie beginning of the book
add much to the value of the work. Recommended to all genealogical

History of the Ball Family. Genealogy of the New Haven Branch,
Allen Ball and some of his Descendants, 1638-1864, by Leonard Abram
Bradley, 1833-1898, Yale College, Class of 1855. 8vo, boards, pp. 59. Privately
printed under auspices of Joseph M. Andreini. New York, 1916. Limited
edition of 50 copies. A few copies for sale. Price, $5.00. Address : Joseph
M. Andreini, No. 29 W. 75th Street, N. Y. City.
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.

Quarto, cloth, pp 464, illustrated. Iqi6. James T. White & Company, Pub-
lishers, 70 Fifth Avenue, N. Y. City. Price, Sio.oo. Address: Publishers.
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.

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:

8105,097.00
5.198-59
8110,295.59
106,000.00
$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.

* 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.

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.
