PREFACE.

These notes begin usually with the colonist on his
arrival in America or as soon thereafter as he appears on
the list of taxpayers. In the case of Deputy Governor
Samuel Symonds there is already in print a full description
of his ancestry in England and that of his wife, and some
of the material has been reproduced here. In the case of
Ellis Lewis the ancestry has been fully described in Con-
nor's Pedigree of David Lewis, and to that work the reader
is referred for details.

This is in no way a family history, but is strictly con-
fined to the direct ancestor in each generation, brothers and
sisters and their descendants being entirely ignored. A full
list of all the descendants of Robert Greenough would alone
make a considerable volume and could only be gathered in
New England.

The references to volume and page of printed matter
relating to any ancestor are intended not only to enable all
descendants to possess themselves at will of such informa-
tion, but especially to enable any particular descendant to
place himself at once in the line of new and enlarged
development of the ancestral history whenever he may so
desire.

of Massachusetts from 1637 to 1078, having been Jus-
tice of the Court, a Provincial Councillor, and Deputy
Governor of the Province from 1673 to 1678.

Daniel Epes (or Eppes)2d, who married Elizabeth Symonds,
was the son of Daniel Epes 1st, of Kent, England,
where there are many of the name, who married Mar-
tha Head. When Governor Symonds married the
Widow Epes, her son Daniel Epes 2d six years later
married Elizabeth Symonds, and thus descendants of
children of Daniel and Elizabeth Epes are descended
from both the first and second wives of Gov. Symonds.

Daniel Epes 2d was grammar schoolmaster in Salem
about 1679, and lived in what was always considered
the Gov. Endicott or " Old Planter's " house on the
northerly corner of Church and Washington Streets,
Salem, Mass. For a representation of it as it was before
1792, see Essex Inst. Hi-t. Coll., Vol. II, p. 39. Also
see Essex Inst. Proceedings, Vol. V, p. 131. The old
house has an interesting history.

Daniel Epes d. at Salem, January 8, 1693. His
wife, Elizabeth Symonds, b. at Toppesfield, England,
in 1624, married at Ipswich to Daniel Epes, May 24,
1644, d. at Salem, May 7, 1685.

The " old Greenough House " at Haverhill was
bought by Symonds Greenough in 1748, altered and
enlarged in 1752. A broad double frame house with
hipped roof and dormer windows. It remained unal-
tered until nearly 1880, when a new street was opened
which took off one-half, making it a single house, and
at the same time the roof was altered. This property,
after death of Ebenezer 1st, in 1827, came into owner-
ship of Ebenezer 2d and his brother John, and their
descendants still own it. The house is now occupied

10

by Emeline Carey, a grand-daughter of Ebenezer 1st,
who has a life estate in it.

The adjoining house on the west was built by
Ebenezer Greenough 1st, in 1780, and Ebenezer Green-
ough 2d was born there in 1783. It long since passed
out of the family ownership.

place he purchased lands in Pennsylvania from William
Penn, and in 10S3 came to America and settled at
Concord, Chester County, Pennsylvania. In 108-1 he
was commissioned by William Penn one of the Justices
of the Court of said county, and in 1685 he was called

The ancestry of Ellis Lewis is fully described by P.
S. P. Conner, Esq., in his " Lewis Pedigree," running
back for many generations. Ellis Lewis was born in
Wales, in or about the year 1680 ; his father dying
while he was quite young, his mother married Owen
Robert. Later they went to Ireland and thence to
Pennsylvania, Ellis Lewis' certificate of removal being
dated at Mount Mellick, Ireland, the 25th day of the
5th month, 1708. Upon his arrival in Pennsylvania
Ellis Lewis went first to Haverford, in the neighbor-
hood of his cousins, the Ellises, Rowland Ellis and his
family not yet having removed into Gwynedd. Sub-
sequently he (E. L.) settled in Kennett Township,
Chester County, Pa., where he was highly esteemed,
being "a man of good understanding" and long an
Elder of Friends. He was twice married ; first, in
1713, at Concord Meeting, to Elizabeth Newlin, the
mother of his four children ; secondly, to Mary Bald-
win, a widow (at Fall's Meeting, Bucks County, 11, 1 mo.,
1723), who survived him. He died at Wilmington,

22

Del., June 30, 1750, and was buried at Kennett. Will

who was Colonel and served on the Mississippi River.
Mary Ellet, daughter of Charles Ellet 'id, is married
to William D. Cabell, of Virginia, now resident of
Washington, D. C.

( reneral Alfred Ellet (son of Charles and Mary, and
brother of Charles Ellet 2d) was Brigadier-General in

War of the Rebellion, and rendered distinguished

Pennsylvania, Vol. 1, Xo. 1, p. 31, in the list of taxable
residents in LG78, on the east side of the Delaware River,
in New Jersey, opposite to New Castle in Delaware, and
subject evidently at that date to the Delaware jurisdic-
tion, there is the name of Jan Harinsen Izrull. This
is possibly the ancestor (grandfather) of Michael Israel,

25

but no such connection has, as yet, been made out. The
name sounds in part Dutch and part Swede.

EBENEZER GREENOUGH.

When Ebenezer Greenough, a lad of twenty, crossed the
threshold of Harvard College, where he had graduated
with honor, he was met with the news that his father had
been suddenly reduced from a very prosperous condition to
an estate so narrow that he could no longer render assist-
ance to the son who was about to make his way through the
world. A horse and fifty dollars constituted the extent of
his outfit, and it is characteristic of the man, (and it is the
pride of his descendants to recall), that the first moneys
earned by him were scrupulously saved, and were remitted
as soon as it was possible to do so, in payment of these sacred
advances.

These moneys were acquired at Wilkesbarre, Pennsylva-
nia, where Charles Hall, Esquire, a resident of Sunbury and
the leading lawyer of Middle Pennsylvania, noticed him,
and suggested to him that he take up the study and practice
of the law. He followed this advice and, removing to Sun-
bury, studied law under Mr. Hall, and was admitted to the
bar. After his happy marriage with Abigail Israel, he set-
tled in Danville, where his eldest daughter, Susan, was born,
but he soon returned to Sunburv, and there he became
remarkably successful. At that time the largest practice
and the greatest reputations at the country bar were made
in the trial of suits in which titles to land were in question,
and Ebenezer Greenough, by reason of his learning and skill
in this respect, speedily became the bar-leader of that por-
tion of the country, and maintained with ease this position
until his death, when, in the language of Robert Grier, one
of the Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States,
" the last great light of land-law in Pennsylvania died out."

(27)

•2S

II. was in tie- tw< ntieth year of his agcwlien he left Har-
vard, and he had just completed his sixty-fourth year when
ho died. During the intervening period he had amassed a
fortune, had founded a family which to-day (1895) has mul-
tiplied and ramified in many directions (every member of
which regards his name with veneration), and he had
achieved a professional reputation which surpassed any other
in Pennsylvania, west of Philadelphia and cast of the Alle-
ghenies ; and yet there was not a day of his life that he did
no! suffer physically from a disease of the heart which may
be said to have attended him from his birth. His earliest
recollection was that of sitting on his mother's knee under-
going excruciating pain which she vainly attempted to
alleviate.

Much against his will, but in order to effect specific
reforms, he served a term in the Legislature, in consequence
whereof the scope and stringency of the anti-gambling and
anti-lottery acts were increased. Nothing could reconcile
him to a political life : he was a lawyer, and his delight was
in the law. His contributions to the legislation of the times
bore upon the law. By far the most important of these was
the act of Assembly limiting the lien of a judgment. The
notions of all the prominent men at the bar throughout the
State had been sought upon this important subject, and
manifold had been the forms and suggestions sent to Harris-
burg ; they varied from the extremely long and verbose form,
sent by the bar-leader of Philadelphia, to the few and terse
words submitted by Mr. Greenough ; these were adopted,
and thus he became the father of this statute. Nothing
more important in the way of legislation can be conceived
of, when one reflects, that it regulates and controls the great
mass of debt in Pennsylvania, and that not a single trans-
action upon which a judgment may be rendered can occur
without being remotely, if not immediately, within the pur-
view of this act.

I have the word of the late Francis W. Hughes, of Potts-
ville, Pennsylvania, for it (he himself eminent as a jury-

29

lawyer) that he had never known Ebenezer Greenough's
equal in trying causes ; Judge Grier's opinion of him, as a
land lawyer, was sustained by all the leading lawyers of the
day in Middle and Eastern Pennsylvania; by the Mallerys,
Loesers, Bannans, Armstrongs, Comlys, and by those they
led. The late Chief Justice Woodward used to dwell upon
his characteristics as a forensic orator. He described his
style as " Ciceronian " in respect to the combination it pre-
sented of persuasion and argument, and as quiet and sym-
pathetic, with lucidity itself in the statement of facts. He
said that he was a master of good English, that his learning
was inexhaustible and ready, and he regretted exceedingly
that Mr. Greenough's addresses had not been reported, so as
to serve as models of forensic argument and oratory. Of
"the old bench" of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
(the bench before which his great triumphs were made),
every member was his friend and admirer, and very few
men enjoyed the respect and praise of the great Chief Jus-
tice Gibson as he did. " When Mr. Greenough rose," said
Judge Woodward, " the court leaned forward, and sank back
only after catching his last word. This intentness would be
broken at times by rapid fires of questioning and disputing
points." Undoubtedly, his greatest contribution to his pro-
fession, and his most enduring monument as a lawyer, was
the establishment of the equitable principle, to its modern
extent, in the action of ejectment; or, to express it differently,
making the institution of an action of ejectment equivalent
to filing a bill in equity. The establishment of this princi-
ple may be said to have revolutionized the land law of
Pennsylvania ; it proved to be one of the most beneficial
principles ever evolved in the history of American law.

In 1857, the late Mr. Elliott, of Towanda, Pennsylvania,
told me that at one time he had sat as juryman in a case
where Mr. Greenough had disputed the validity of a patent,
on the ground that the principle of construction had already
been applied by Julius Ca3sar to his bridge across the Rhine,
and that he sustained his contention and won his case. Had
the instances of his fertility of resourses, of his learning, of

30

his skill in toying causes, and of snatching victory from
defeat, which were recounted by his contemporaries, been
collected, they would till a volume, hut I have said enough
to show that bench, bar and jury regarded him as a remark-
able man. His clients had the utmost confidence in him;
and well might they have had it, for who could be more
untiring in their service, or more painstaking and scrupu-
lous in the custody of their property ? Such was his reputa-
tion for integrity, and for the learning and skill special to
trustees, thai great trusts were constantly seeking his hands.

Never in Middle Pennsylvania had one been followed to
his grave by so great a concourse of people as he was. The
different bars sent their committees, his old clients came
from far and near, and all his neighbors joined in the
mournful procession. His kindness of heart made all sin-
cere mourners, nor did the exercise of this kindness cease
with his death, for when his will was opened it was found
to contain an injunction of leniency to the point of forgive-
ness where the debtors had been unfortunate, and when his
son came to examine his papers, he found that the bounty
of his father had been exercised upon objects and to amounts
little suspected.

Ebenezer Greenough, in personal appearance, was small
and slightly built. He gave one the impression of being a
delicately-constructed man ; he had small hands and feet,
his complexion was pink and white, and his voice was sweet
and winning; but he was every inch a man. My latest
recollection of him was when he was sixty-two years of age,
and after I had enjoyed, during the nine years of my life,
the undue affection of which the first grandchild is every-
where the recipient. It is hard for me, therefore, to realize
the fact that so kindly and loving a man, though a mere
youth, had driven so strong and so aggressive a judge as
Cooper from the bench ; that, before the Court, his irony
was dreaded, and that, before the jury, his denunciation
(exercised with great rarity) was feared. Yet such was the

31

case, and it was his power to retaliate that made him so for-
midable an antagonist.

The portrait by Francis, now in my possession, does not
do his pleasing, sympathetic expression justice, and the
daguerreotype, taken in the last few days of life, has upon it
the severity of approaching death ; it represents a severe,
patrician face.

One characteristic of him should not be omitted — the
moderation of his ambition. This was spoken of during his
life-time as a surprising thing in one of his powers, and
sometimes as a regrettable thing ; but his aversion to politics
was too great to be overcome, and he declined even to go
upon the bench. His elevation to the bench of the Supreme
Court, strange to say, had among its advocates some promi-
nent men of the Democratic party, though he had always
been and always remained a Whig. The Governor expressed
his great regret that he was prevented, solely by the contra-
riety of politics, from appointing a lawyer so distinguished.
It was a matter of common notoriety that Mr. Greenough
knew nothing of this friendly action on the part of the
Berks County lawyers until the affair was over.

It will not be surprising that to one like me, whose earliest
days were sweetened by his affection, he should seem a
matchless man.

Antoninus thanked the gods for his noble grandfather,
and I thank God for mine.
