Introductory Note
HISTORY of the building of any book is interesting It
is an index to the thought and purpose which have controlled
in the undertaking. The merit of the production is best reflected
in the spirit guiding its accomplishment.
It may be said, with pardonable pride and justification, that
during the last three years the Society, Sons of the Revolution, in
the State of California, has gathered unto itself greater energy and
stronger enthusiasm. These reinforcements have given it a strength
and vigor not at all reflective upon its previous distinguished course
of many years but certainly resulting in an increase of membership,
extension of activity and enlargement of support, all tending to
make it a very strong and forceful organization. During the year
1913 it was recommended by the writer to the Board of Directors
that a special campaign be inaugurated for new members as a basis
for securing the achievements in prospect. This was adopted as
the policy for that year and every energy invoked to make the
matter a success. This resulted in the influx of a large number of
new members, composed of the most representative citizens of the
City of Los Angeles. As a complement to this work, the next step
was in the direction of increasing the library facilities of the Society.
Much thought, time and money were then expended in the procuring
of additional volumes and more recently printed Revolutionary
records which were placed in the library at an expenditure of
approximately one thousand dollars. This in itself soon placed the
library upon a very complete foundation and brought about its
recognition as one of the accredited libraries of the State. Its effect
upon the work of the Society, particularly with reference to the
admission of new members, wa's vital and important. The library
has sixteen hundred volumes, including practically everything in
print relative to the Revolutionary Period, and provides within
itself all available sources of information tending to establish Revo-
lutionary service, with the sole exception of the lines of inquiry and
search which must be made at times with respect to the records of
the United States Government. Further, the Society of Colonial
Wars in the State of California maintains its offices and headquar-
ters, together with a magnificent library of five hundred volumes,
devoted to genealogical research and Colonial records, all in con-
junction with this Society and its library.
In addition, while heretofore the work of the Society had '.been
carried on in a very thorough and competent manner by previous
administrations, the increase of membership, with new blood and
10 INTRODUCTORY NOTE
new ideas, as it were, resulted in the development of a social life
and enthusiastic co-operation in the Society which had not formerly
existed. Several notable dinners and banquets have followed which
have had their direct effect in making the Society of positive value
to its membership and at the same time crystallizing both effort and
plan for a continuation of its growth and prosperity.
As a result of the campaign for new members which had there-
tofore been inaugurated, in the short space of eighteen months, the
membership in the Society was doubled, which of itself placed it
upon an assured foundation of financial support and made possible
the greater library and other resources for future achievement. In
this connection it is quite, proper to record that this newer activity
in the Society was started under the leadership of Mr. Bradner
Wells Lee, the capable and enthusiastic President of the Society
for a period of two years. It was quite natural that he should have
in mind, and also that the need should become immediately appar-
ent, the publication of a Year Book or Register of the Society which
should exhibit this new order and progress of affairs in a positive
way. Almost coincident in point of time and without previous
conference with each other, the same thought took form in the minds
of Mr. Edward Thomas Harden and the editor. Each then took it
upon himself to place the motion in concrete form as a recommen-
dation to the Board of Directors, with the result that it was received
with enthusiastic approval.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors held Tuesday, August
19, 1913, a motion was regularly made, duly seconded and carried,
that a committee be appointed by the President for the purpose of
taking into consideration, preparing and procuring the publication
of an annual Register of the Society, Sons of the Revolution, in the
State of California, for the year 1913. The President appointed on
the above committee Mr. Orra Eugene Monnette and Mr. Edward
Thomas Harden ; and this was the inception of the undertaking.
Without giving the chronological order or, in detail, the suc-
ceeding steps taken in this matter and the several enactments of
the Board of Directors, suffice it to say that the committee entered
upon its work with much enthusiasm which has continued through-
out and has at all points received the earnest and enthusiastic co-
operation of the members of the Board of Directors, to which regular
reports of progress of the work have been made and received full
approval.
The greatest problem, of course, has been the financing of the
publication. The membership has responded to several calls for
advanced subscriptions to the book, the Board of Directors has
pledged funds to the extent of at least one hundred copies of the
edition and certain members of the Society have generously agreed
to finance the undertaking as individuals.
INTRODUCTORY NOTE 11
At a meeting of the Board of Directors on January 14, 1914,
Mr. Bradner Wells Lee was formally added to the membership of
the committee on publication. At the annual election of officers in
January, 1915, Mr. Arthur Jay Waters, having been elected to the
Presidency of the Society, by virtue of his office likewise became a
member of the committee. At a meeting of the Board of Directors
held on February 10, 1915, for the purpose of assisting in matters
involved in the financial support and distribution of the publication,
Mr. James Rathwell Page. Treasurer of the Society, was duly made
a member of the Publication Committee.
The proposed publication was originally designed to become a
Year Book or Register, first for the year 1913, then for the year
1914, but necessary delays and time occupied in securing funds for
the publication have changed each of these conceptions in turn. In
the fall of 1914, when it became apparent that the book would cer-
tainly be published, the Publication Committee adopted an entirely
new plan and decided to depart from the previous idea of making
the same a Year Book or Register in the sense of attempting to
issue it as the Register of any particular year date. At this time
it was determined to place Mr. Orra Eugene Monnette in charge
of the publication as its editor, and with the approval of the com-
mittee, Mr. Leon Le Lanne French was selected as assistant editor,
and to them were committed the duty and labor of preparing the
actual manuscript and defining the limits and contents of the pub-
lication, subject to the final approval of said committee.
In the announcement made in January, 1914, to the member-
ship, the following was stated in a circular letter as being the
standard of purpose to be followed in the publication :
"1st. THE SCOPE AND VALUE OF THE PROPOSED
REGISTER.
It is intended to make this Register the most complete and
attractive piece of work ever issued by this Society. It will
contain a complete list of the membership of the Society,
together with the Revolutionary services of the ancestors, from
whom eligibility is derived, and a complete table of lineal
descent from such ancestors, who will be thus honored, those
noble men and women, through whom you descend and whom
it should be your pride and pleasure to see recorded in history;
for this is history.
2nd. DISTRIBUTION OF THE REGISTERS.
It is intended that every member of the Society shall have
a copy of this book, in addition to which a copy will be placed
in each of the important libraries of the United States and in
some of the foreign countries. The number of copies which
will be required for distribution to the General and State So-
cieties and libraries will be large.
12 INTRODUCTORY NOTE
3rd. FINANCING OF THIS PUBLICATION.
The scope and contemplated new features (for this Com-
mittee has new and very interestingly new features in con-
templation) place the financing of this work upon the generosity
of our individual membership which has never yet failed the
Society. The Committee' appeals not only to your sense of
generosity and good will, but as well to your patriotism, which
will be exhibited by your doing your part in the enrollment on
the pages of history, of the names of your patriotic progenitors,
as well as your own record and lineage."
As a result of this scheme of publication and this scope of the
work which was so early outlined to the membership and which has
been conscientiously adhered to, the completed work is herewith
presented to the membership of the Society, Sons of the Revolution,
in the State of California, with an earnest hope for its sincere appro-
bation in every quarter and a generous reception at every hand. It
is committed to your care and thought with a reasonable pride in
accomplishment and with the hope that its demerits may be gener-
ously overlooked.
With reference to the matter included in the book, which is not
wholly indicated in the general prospectus as originally outlined in
the above, it should be stated that the special features of this book
are the lists of Revolutionary Soldiers and Sailors which are placed
in the closing pages of the volume. Animated by the thought and
desire to make the book of permanent and extended value as a
reference book and to preserve it as a standard of usefulness in
patriotic research there have been included a list of Revolutionary
Soldiers, appearing only in scattered sources, of the State of Mary-
land ; the same of South Carolina ; and, special lists of Sailors of the
Revolutionary War, some of which have only been given to the
public in the last few years through the meritorius publication of
the Naval History Society, with headquarters at 247 Fifth Avenue,
New York City. The limited issue of its books prevents their
availability to members of all patriotic societies and, on that account
and by the courtesy of that Society, one list of Sailors is herewith
presented. The other lists were compiled from other sources.
The title of the book has been chosen with the idea that the
active life of the book would be the longer sustained if it were not
coupled with a year date which would be rapidly relegated to the
past. In addition to this the contents of the book have been guided,
both in the matter contained and in the order of presentation,
together with the valuable and exhaustive index, so that, as a refer-
ence book, its life might be the further prolonged.
The absence of illustrations is explained by the fact that the ex-
tensive matter included made it necessary to keep the cost of publi-
cation at a minimum, and while manv attractive and illustrative
INTRODUCTORY NOTE 13
features might have been added, yet it is believed that the judgment
of the committee in this connection will be fully approved.
As appears, only two illustrations have been included in the
book, viz : The frontispiece, entitled "Three Real Sons of the Revo-
lution," and that of the Monterey Mission.
The former has been inserted because of the fact that this
Society has a special distinction in having had as members three
whose fathers served in the Revolutionary War, and two of these
members are living at the time of this publication. This is unique
in itself and, for that reason, a cut of each of these "Honorable Sons"
appears in illustration in the frontispiece.
Further prompted by the desire to make this book as distinctly
Californian in character as might be possible, and having in mind
that many of the sister Societies of the Sons of the Revolution are
located in the States comprising the original thirteen Colonies and,
on that account, possess locations and history immediately con-
nected with the events of the War of the Revolution, the Publica-
tion Committee has deemed it to be both proper and significant to
include in the book a "Chronology of California," which has been
carefully compiled by the editor. This will bring to the reader and
student positive knowledge and information concerning the splendid
history belonging to the Western Coast of the United States, on the
points of early discovery, exploration, and romantic adventure, which
do not so frequently receive prominent notation as with the early
history of the Atlantic seaboard; and while high tribute must be
paid to the adventurer and colonist who made the settlement of the
Eastern Coast of the American Continent both possible and per-
manent; likewise to the intrepid and courageous Spanish romancer
and to the patient and zealous Franciscan Friar must be given simi-
lar honor and credit for the like development of the Pacific Coast.
The discovery and history of California are almost contem-
poraneous in chronicle and event with the exploration and coloniza-
tion upon the shores of the Atlantic. Christopher Columbus ante-
dated Vasco Nunez de Balboa, in his discovery of America as com-
pared with the discovery of the Pacific Ocean, by approximately
twenty-one years. Hernando Cortes was on the Pacific Coast six
years later, and California properly dates her history from the
notable voyage and discovery of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo in 1542.
The first settlement on the Atlantic Coast was Saint Augustine,
now in Florida, in 1565, but which was not continuous. The James-
town settlement of 1607 and the landing of the Mayflower in 1620
are the early dates of American history ; but the founding of the
town of San Gabriel in later New Mexico in 1598, though not per-
manent, antedates the former by nine and the latter by twenty-two
years. And, Santa Fe, New Mexico, is the second oldest and per-
manent city in the United States. Therefore, California history
and that of the Great West are just as ancient as that of Virginia
14 INTRODUCTORY NOTE
and the New England States. Further, there was a romance,
founded in the spirit of adventure, eager conquest and search for
treasure, which commenced as the inspiration of early Spanish voy-
agers and continued even until the gold excitement of 1849, which
is unequaled in comparison with the more commonplace trials and
adventures of the early colonists in eastern Xorth America.
While the American Revolution was in progress in the original
thirteen colonies, the foundations of California were being laid in
most positive and permanent form. The boasted achievements of
the Pilgrim and Puritan, and of the Huguenot are merited, but the
Californians will ever have a treasured memory of the Spanish
Cavalier and of the Franciscan Friar. Their priceless heritage was
the gift of Cabrillo and Father Junipero Serra, together with a
faithful and zealous train of romantic adventures and pious neo-
phytes. Therefore, truthfully measuring Californian history, this
is distinctively a California book.
Considering further the preparation of the material appearing
in the book, the compilation of the matter, including the corre-
spondence, and the time and labor expended, have been prodigious.
A large part of this has been contributed by Mr. Leon Le Lanne
French, to whom the credit should be given. Further, the members
of the Publication Committee and the officers of the Society have
each and all given their splendid co-operation and support in the
publication work.
In the knowledge that the work has been conscientiously per-
formed and in the hope that it shall serve its high purpose, the
publication labors are now drawn to a close. May this expression
of the activity, the earnest life of the Society, find a larger fruition
in the stimulation of a newer and stronger patriotism in the hearts
of its members and in the hearts of those who may hereafter seek
the benefit of a relationship with the Society.

Why a Revolutionary Patriotic Society
Should Secure Recognition
and Support
TRADITIONS of a people are more impressive than
historic fact itself. In the Revolution the most cherished
traditions of Liberty became incarnated in the birth of the Ameri-
can Republic.
The spiritual life of a nation is essentially founded in its ele-
mental expression of the love of law, and with this naturally follows
the loftiest ideals of liberty and truth.
The preservation of these ideals should be the dominating note
in American life, in American government, in American diplomacy.
The decimating influences of a material age, an ever increasing
alien element in our society, born and bred abroad in an atmosphere
of sedition and anarchy, make it a vital obligation of every Ameri-
can with a background of lineage, to formally ally himself with
those stable and enduring influences which were fundamental in
the beginning of this government.
In an epoch when history is making in such tragic and gigantic
form ; when the bonds of international treaty and agreement are
held so lightly; when the sophistry and the specious demand of
material growth and power are made the impelling and domineering
philosophy of imperial expansion ; when international differences, in
the very presence of the most enlightened, refined and Christian
civilization of history, can find a basis of settlement only in an
archaic and barbarous resort to human slaughter and the annihila-
tion of all that is beautiful in life and art : we may well ask our-
. selves in America whether the throes by which this Republic came
into life were not hallowed by a more just and righteous cause.
Since, in all history, Liberty never was so sweetly and tenderly
cradled as on the shores of this western world, America has cher-
ished the hope that her love of country was the type of the purest
and most vital patriotism. In the asylum she has consistently
offered to all who truly suffered oppression and who, by self-efface-
ment and merging into the spirit of our national life, loyally became
a part of the fibre of our civilization in these great offices of broth-
22 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
erhocd and helpfulness we have believed this nation has earned the
right to endure.
If in the evolution of our national life there has developed an
aristocracy of lineage, we may know that it had its beginning in
the character and genus of those ancestors whose great minds con-
ceived and strong hearts defended, the principles of liberty and law
that have made and kept this nation great. Because they lived and
died that we and all who may come after us may be free, the
patriotic societies which keep our minds reverent of the matchless
achievements of those noble men should receive the cordial support
of every American of family.

Historical Sketch of the General Society
The first patriotic society in the United States to base its membership
upon hereditary succession was the Society of the Cincinnati, which was
formed on the banks of the Hudson River May 12, 1783, by some of the
officers of the American Army during the period of the Revolution. Mem-
bership is based upon an official service only and is established on the law
of primo-geniture. As a result of this policy that Society has remained
very small and will of necessity decrease in its membership. This re-
mained as the only patriotic Society of that character based upon Revo-
lutionary service for very nearly a century of time.
However, in December of 1873, several efforts were made by Mr.
John Austin Stevens of New York to induce the Society of the Cincinnati,
through its President-General, Honorable Hamilton Fish, to change the
policy of that organization so as to provide for admission to membership
upon more extended lines so that the doors of the organization should be
open to a larger number of Revolutionary descendants. These efforts
were not met with any response. As a result of this rebuff, the ideas and
thoughts of Mr. Stevens were crystallized in a purpose to organize a new
Society to be carried on upon broader lines of membership than the older
organization.
At this point it is proper to record that to California belongs the
proud distinction of having been the home of one of these earlier efforts
to found a new patriotic Society. Many of the descendents of Revolu-
tionary Sires were living in San Francisco, California, in 1876. Several
of the public spirited of these issued a call for a meeting and organized;
and, on July 4, 1876, a permanent organization was entered into and
called "Sons of the Revolutionary Sires." It soon gathered to its mem-
bership quite a number of men who have been distinguished in the history
of California. The organization was, however, short lived and such few
records as were established were destroyed in the great San Francisco fire
and earthquake in 1906. While this effort cannot be linked in the history
of any patriotic organization now in existence, yet it is given this refer-
ence because it belongs peculiarly to California history. Further, it is
interesting to note that one of the originators of this movement was the
Honorable Joseph Sharon, of the same family as ex-Senator William
Sharon of Nevada, both of whom in former years figured quite largely in
the activities of San Francisco. Mr. Sharon qualified in that Society
under his own grandfather, the Revolutionary Soldier Joseph Eaton, one
of whose descendants, Mr. George Harold Janeway, has become a member
of this Society, qualifying under the same ancestor.
Returning to the history of these early efforts to found a distinctive
Revolutionary Society, there is one man only to whom the greatest honor
must be given.
28 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
Mr. John Austin Stevens is truly the founder of the Society, Sons of
the Revolution. He gathered about him a number of associates who
adopted and supported his cause, and on the 18th day of December, 1875,
in the rooms of the New York Historical Society, a meeting was held to
determine the possibilities of the new organization. Mr. Stevens there
proposed a definite organization and the name, "Sons of the Revolution,"
was adopted at this preliminary meeting.
Later at a meeting held at the same place on January 15, 1876, a
constitution presented by Mr. Stevens was unanimously adopted and signed
by all who were present. The new organization was launched with much
hope and certain confidence in its future growth and prosperity.
Unfortunately, this attempt did not come to a full enjoyment of its
possibilities at that time.
One of the charter members and founders of the California Society
is Colonel Holdridge Ozro Collins, who has been for several years the
General Historian of the General Society. In 1905, as appears from the
publication of the General Society for that year, a very exhaustive account
appears concerning the general organization, which was prepared by Col.
Collins. The facts recited therein are adverted to here as the foundation
for this sketch and for the greater portion of the following language Col.
Collins should be given the credit:
Referring to the adoption of the name "Sons of the Revolution,"
the committee chose an appellation significant of its purpose to con-
serve those eternal principles of honor, patriotism, liberty and justice,
the heritage from "The Sons of Liberty," and which name we most
devoutly believe will endure until time shall end.
Such was the institution of the Society, Sons of the Revolution, and
Mr. Stevens was requested to make such public announcement of the fact
as he might think suitable. He issued the following circular letter:
"SONS OF THE REVOLUTION:
The Society of the Cincinnati, founded at West Point by the
officers of the army of the Revolution in 1783, originally limited its
membership to descendants of officers in the elder branch, and with a
temporary and short variation from the rule, has ever maintained its
restriction.
The approach of the Centennial Anniversary of American Inde-
pendence is an appropriate time for the formation of a Society on a
broader basis, which may include all descendants of those who served
with the Army of the Revolution.
The undersigned have formed themselves into a Society under
the name of
"SONS OF THE REVOLUTION,"
and invite the membership of all who, like themselves, are descendants
of officers or soldiers of the Revolutionary Army.
HISTORY, GENERAL SOCIETY 29
The object of the Society is to take part in the Centennial Exhi-
bition at Philadelphia.
A meeting will be held for organization at the rooms of the New
York Historical Society on the morning of Tuesday, the 22nd of
February next (1876) at 12 o'clock. All persons having a right and
desire to become members may send their names and the names of
those they represent to the undersigned (Box 88, Station "D," New
York Post Office).
JOHN AUSTIN STEVENS."
But few acceptances of this invitation were received, and, deferring
further action, Mr. Stevens awaited with patience a more propitious occa-
sion to present the features of this new Society.
At the close of the year 1883, the Centennial Anniversaries of the
evacuation of New York, and of Washington's last meeting with his officers,
were events which indicated to Mr. Stevens and his associates that
the time had come for a successful and permanent establishment of the
Order.
Elaborate preparations were made for a dinner at Fraunce's Tavern,
to be given on December 4, 1882, in commemoration of the close of Wash-
ington's military career, in that affectionate and pathetic farewell to his
officers, "With a heart full of love and gratitude, I now take leave of you ;
I most devoutly wish that your latter days may be prosperous and happy
as your former ones have been glorious and honorable."
Here, at the time indicated, in the identical "Long Room," assembled
a company of representative New York citizens, gentlemen distinguished
in the mercantile world and in the walks of science, literature, medicine,
jurisprudence and the church.
The Constitution of the Society, Sons of the Revolution, was pre-
sented by Mr. Stevens and his associates, and it was received with enthusi-
astic acclaim. The original document was brought from the Archives of
the Historical Society where it had been deposited, and it was signed by
all present who were eligible by Revolutionary descent, more than forty
gentlemen affixing their signatures, and the New York Society was organ-
ized by the election of John Austin Stevens, President; John Cochrane,
Vice-President; Austin Huntington, Secretary; and George H. Potts,
Treasurer.
On the 29th day of April, 1884, a certificate of incorporation was
executed by the following gentlemen: John Austin Stevens, John Coch-
rane, Austin Huntington, George H. Potts, Frederick S. Tallmadge,
George W. W. Houghton, Asa Bird Gardiner, Thomas H. Edsall, Joseph
W. Drexel, James Mortimer Montgomery, James Duane Livingston,
Alexander R. Thompson, Jr., and John Bleecker Miller, and on May 2nd,
1884, Judge George C. Barrett signed the certificate of incorporation.
Public attention was immediately attracted to this new Society, and
an increase of membership followed, not alone from New York, but from
the adjoining states. At the annual election of 1884, Mr. Frederick
30 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
Samuel Tallmadge was elected President, in which office he was continued
for the remainder of his life, and George Washington Wright Houghton
was chosen Secretary, serving until 1886, when he was succeeded by James
Mortimer Montgomery. Upon the organization of the General Society
at Washington, on April 19, 1890, Mr. Montgomery was elected General
Secretary, but the great prosperity of the New York Society, resulting
from his energetic labors, had been so marked that its members insisted
he should continue in the charge of its affairs. In 1893, however, the
accumulation of work in the General Society made it impossible for him
to retain both positions, and he declined a re-election by New York.
On April 3, 1888, Mr. John Wolf Jordan and fourteen other gentle-
men, of Philadelphia, all qualified by Revolutionary ancestry and some of
them previously admitted to the New York Society, assembled at the office
of Dr. Herman Burgin, in Philadelphia, and organized an independent
Society of Sons of the Revolution for the State of Pennsylvania.
The founders of this Society were Oliver Christian Bosbyshell,
George Horace Burgin, Herman Burgin, Richard McCall Cadwalader,
James Edward Carpenter, Robert Porter Dechert, William Churchill
Houston, Jr., John Wolf Jordan, Josiah Granville Leach, Elon Dunbar
Lockwood, Charles Marshall, Samuel Whitaker Pennypacker, John Biddle
Porter, William Brooke Rawle, and William Wayne.
The adoption of an insignium early engaged the attention of the
Pennsylvania Society, and in October, 1888, a committee consisting of
Col. Oliver Christian Bosbyshell, Mr. John Wolf Jordan and Dr. Herman
Burgin was appointed to secure designs, with instructions to consider those
submitted by Major L'Enfant to the Society of the Cincinnati in 1783.
Finally, on January 14-, 1889, the present design was accepted, and sub-
sequently adopted by the New York Society, and since by the General
Society as the insignium of the Sons of the Revolution. During the same
year, committees were appointed to consider designs for a rosette and a
certificate of membership. On November llth, the rosette of the New
York Society was accepted, and has ' since been adopted by the General
Society. The beautiful seal of the New York Society was also unani-
mously adopted.
Considerable diversity of sentiment had been manifested in the dis-
cussion relating to the selection of society colors.
The Cincinnati had taken the colors blue and white for the distinctive
ribbons suspending their order, as descriptive of the union of America
and France, and the very intimate association of Sons of the Revolution
with the Cincinnati in all patriotic celebrations and the large number of
those gentlemen who had participated in the organization of the societies
in New York, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia, forbade the
great discourtesy of appropriating colors which belonged to them by so
long a prescription, and the buff and blue were selected, as being distinctive
marks of the uniform of the Continental soldiers.
Acting under a special dispensation from the New York Society,
granted in response to their application therefore, presented on March 11,
HISTORY, GENERAL SOCIETY 31
1889, certain gentlemen, residing in the City of Washington, organized in
the month of April, 1889, the District of Columbia Society. The founders
of this Society were David D. Porter, John Lee Carroll, C. R. Rodgers,
S. R. Franklin, Nicholas Longworth Anderson, Robley D. Evans, J. G.
Walker, Theo. B. M. Mason, Richard Rush, W. K. Van Reypen, Daniel
Morgan Taylor, John Schuyler Crosby, Arthur Henry Dutton, and Archi-
bald Hopkins.
In the early part of 1890, the large increase of membership in New
York, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia, and the unanimous mani-
festation of a desire for a closer bond of association between these societies,
and the establishment of some general rules under which their proceedings
might be harmonized, resulted in the appointment of committees from
New York and Pennsylvania, to consider the feasibility of a union, and
report their joint action to their several societies.
At a conference of these committees in Philadelphia, February 12,
1890, to which was added Mr. Arthur Henry Dutton from the District of
Columbia, the fundamental principles for a General Society were evolved,
and to Judge Sims was given the honor of drawing a constitution.
Clifford Stanley Sims was a Justice of the New Jersey Court of
Errors and Appeals, and. for many years, President of the New Jersey
Society of the Cincinnati. In the draft of a constitution for the Sons of the
Revolution, he took as a model, the institution of the Cincinnati. A com-
parative analysis of the two instruments will disclose how closely he fol-
lowed such of the sections of the institution as were appropriate for the
new Society, adopting, in many portions, the exact language of the original
document ; and in submitting the result of his labors, he stated that he
had omitted provisions for amendments, believing the course pursued by
the Cincinnati, for such emergencies, to be the best.
Within less than two months after its submission, the constitution
prepared by Judge Sims and reported by the Joint Committee was unani-
mously approved and ratified by the three original Societies of New York,
Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia. Delegates from these Socie-
ties were at once appointed to meet in joint convention to establish the
more perfect union contemplated in the Constitution drawn by Judge Sims.
At Washington, on the nineteenth day of April, 1890, in Chamberlin's
Hotel, the deputies from the three Societies of New York, Pennsylvania
and the District of Columbia were called to order by Mr. Frederick Samuel
Tallmadge, President of the New York Society, and that assemblage of
distinguished gentlemen effected the consummation of the union so ardently
desired. The General Society, Sons of the Revolution, was established
upon the broadest foundations of fraternal and ancestral association, and
State equality, and the following gentlemen were the first officers elected:
General President,
Ex-Governor John Lee Carroll, of Maryland.
General rice-President,
Mayor William Wayne, of Pennsylvania.

Timothy Matlack Cheesman, of New York.
General Treasurer,
Richard McCall Cadwalader, of Pennsylvania.
Assistant General Treasurer,
Arthur Henry Dutton, of District of Columbia.
General Chaplain,
Daniel Cony Weston, D.D., of New York.
To the energy and persistence of those who were thus early inspired
to found and establish a distinctive organization, the honor and credit of
the Society, Sons of the Revolution should be given. That it has so
grown and prospered must be likewise placed upon the same spirit of
earnestness accompanied by conscientious belief in the principles of the
American commonwealth. The Society occupies a unique position in a
lengthy list of similar organizations and certainly has attained to the
standard of credit and distinction so early established.
At the eighth Triennial meeting held in Washington, D. C., on April
17-19, 1914, delegates from nineteen State Societies were in attndance,
and thirty-two Societies, with a total active membrship of 6832, were
reported as continuing upon sound foundations.
In all there have been sixteen meetings of the General Society since
its formation in April, 1890. The dates and places of these meetings are
as follows:

In conclusion, it should be suggested that while the Society is founded
upon a reasonable and pardonable pride in ancestry, it caters to no false
spirit of aristocracy. It is founded upon the broader and more high-
minded thought of a preservation of the records and history of those men
who gave both civil and religious liberty to the early colonists of America,
and who, in founding and establishing a new Republic, rendered a dis-
tinguished service to those of that time and generation, as well as to all
posterity. To true Americans the spirit of patriotism should enter into
the very fiber of manhood and womanhood. The continuation and per-
petuation of a loyal citizenship are dependent upon the true love of country
and on the beneficent institutions of America. It is believed that no
organization is better fitted to keep alive, upon the altars of the heart, the
fires of exalted patriotism, and to enshrine in the memory of each member
the honorable and distinctive careers of the founders of this glorious com-
monwealth.

Section III amended April 23rd, 1892.
Section VIII amended April 21st, 1896.
Section VII amended April 19th, 1905.
I.
It being evident, from a steady decline of a proper celebration of the
National holidays of the United States of America, that popular concern
in the events and men of the War of the Revolution is gradually declin-
ing, and that such lack of interest is attributable, not so much to the lapse
of time and the rapidly increasing flood of immigration from foreign coun-
tries, as to the neglect, on the part of descendants of Revolutionary heroes,
to perform their duty in keeping before the public mind the memory of
the services of their ancestors and of the times in which they lived ; there-
fore, the Society of the Sons of the Revolution has been instituted to per-
petuate the memory of the men who, in the military, naval and civil
service of the Colonies and of the Continental Congress by their acts or
counsel, achieved the Independence of the country, and to further the
proper celebration of the anniversaries of the birthday of Washington,
and of prominent events connected with the War of the Revolution; to
collect and secure for preservation the rolls, records, and other documents
relating to that period; to inspire the members of the Society with the
patriotic spirit of their forefathers ; and to promote the feeling of friend-
ship among them.
II.
The General Society shall be divided into State Societies, which shall
meet annually on the day appointed therefor in their respective by-laws,

consisting of these officers and of nine other members, as may be provided
by their respective Constitutions and By-laws.

The Society, Sons of the Revolution
in the State of California
Its Origin, History and Achievements
Written at the Request of the Publication Committee
BY
Edward Thomas Harden,
One of the Founders.
When it is remembered that a State Society of the Sons of the Revo-
lution is an integral part of the General Society, just as a State is an
integral part of the Federal Union, it is eminently proper to give a brief
history of the origin of an organization which has been the pioneer in
the work of rescuing from oblivion the names, records and deeds of the
brave, undaunted men who founded this great and glorious Republic.
For exactly one hundred years the descendants of the heroic men
who fought and won the most remarkable and unprecedented war in the
annals of history, known as the American Revolution, were satisfied to
rely upon tradition for the names and supposed facts as to the part
played by their ancestors in that great struggle for freedom and inde-
pendence ; but as can be readily understood, and as has been proven in
the light of documentary evidence, these traditions, by reason of vague-
ness as to events and the uncertain identity of the individuals connected
therewith, were valueless as historical data. There were in existence
family trees, family Bibles and local histories which gave some facts of
great value, but, alas ! how little was known of the great rank and file
of these unconquerable and conquering men.
History was fairly complete concerning the events and some par-
ticulars were given of the principal figures who took part therein, but
the lesser lights did not so appear on the pages of history.
Then came the awakening. It came when the hundred years was
near at hand, when the centennial anniversaries of the various events
of the Revolution, from the battles of Lexington and Concord, which were
fought April 19th, 1775, to the evacuation of the City of New York by
the British troops, which occurred on the 26th day of November, 1783,
a period of eight years and seven months and known as the "Period of
the Revolution," were to be celebrated.
There were centennial celebrations of nearly all the events of the
Revolution, but the birthday of the United States as a Federal Govern-
44 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
merit, which was July 4th, 1776, was to be celebrated in a manner worthy
of so great a Government and the Congress of the United States by ample
appropriation provided for a proper celebration in the Centennial Expo-
sition which was held in the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during
the year 1876.
On the 22nd day of February, 1876, in the city of New York, at
the invitation of Mr. John Austin Stevens, a number of gentlemen met
in the library of the New York Historical Society, and then and there
organized the Society, Sons of the Revolution, the founders of which
were the descendants of Revolutionary soldiers. The purpose of this
organization was to participate in the observance at Philadelphia of the
natal day of the Nation.
There was in existence at that time only one civic organization of
a patriotic character which was composed of the descendants of Revolu-
tionary soldiers and which linked the Revolution with the then pres-
ent time ; that organization was the Society of the Cincinnati. This So-
ciety, by reason of the limitations of its organic laws relative to primo-
geniture and descent from an officer of the Revolution had become mori-
bund in most of the original thirteen states of the Union.
After the observance of the Centennial Celebration of 1878, Mr.
Stevens and his associates made every effort to induce the Society of
the Cincinnati to amend its constitution so as to grant eligibility to mem-
bership to the male descendants of any soldier of the Revolution. Their
efforts being futile, on the 4th day of December, 1883, in the historic
"Long Room" of Fraunce's Tavern, the New York Society, Sons of the
Revolution, was organized, and on the 19th day of April, 1884, was
incorporated under the laws of the State of New York.
The growth of the New York Society was most satisfactory and
many gentlemen residing in other states joined that Society. The move-
ment became so popular that soon other state societies were formed until,
in 1890, the General Society was formed just as the Federal Govern-
ment of the United States was similarly established.
It should be stated at this point that so popular have became these
patriotic societies that kindred societies of both men and women have
since been organized. They now count their membership by the thou-
sands and tens of thousands.
During the time when centennial celebrations were being held, the
author of this history, as an humble member of an historic military organ-
ization, was a participant in two celebrations one of which was the cen-
tennial of the "Battle of Fort Sullivan" in June, 1876. The name of
this fort has been changed to, and it is still known as Fort Moultrie.
Standing as the author did, upon the ramparts of that historic fort, at
the very point from which the immortal Sergeant William Jasper leaped
to rescue the flag that had been struck down by a shot from the enemy's
ship, there was born in him a desire and a determination to know more
than he then knew of those Revolutionary ancestors, from whom he had
been told he was descended.
HISTORY, CALIFORNIA SOCIETY 45
This knowledge was gained but was not made use of until the organ-
ization of the Society, Sons of the Revolution in the State of California.
On April 10th, 1893, the author addressed a letter to Mr. James
Mortimer Montgomery, then General Secretary, and who is now General
President of the General Society, asking for information and permission
to organize a Society of the Sons of the Revolution in the State of Cali-
fornia, his adopted state. This letter was transmitted to Mr. Montgomery
through a brother of the author who had been a member of the New
York Society, but was then the Secretary, and still is, and was one of
the founders of the Georgia Society. Mr. Montgomery's reply, dated
April 20th, 1893, was a most cordial endorsement of the project, and
in this he gave the names of several gentlemen then living in California
who were members of the New York Society, and among them the name
of Col. Holdridge Ozro Collins. The day after the receipt of Mr. Mont-
gomery's letter, Col. Collins, to whom Mr. Montgomery had also written
under the same date, mentioning the receipt of the author's letter, and
stating his eligibility, called on him at his residence. The result of that
conference was that, on the 8th day of May, 1893, the Society, Sons
of the Revolution, in the State of California, was instituted and on the
15th day of May, 1893, was incorporated, under the laws of California,
for the period of fifty years, that being the statutory limit. The founders
and incorporators were the six gentlemen whose names will be found on
the page set aside for that purpose. Five of these gentlemen were resi-
dents of Los Angeles Lieutenant Charles Lee Collins, U. S. A., Col.
Holdridge Ozro Collins and Major William Anthony Elderkin, U. S. A.,
were members of the New York Society; Col. John Miner Carey
Marble was a member of the Pennsylvania Society. The author was not
a member of any Society. Mr. James Monroe Allen, of San Francisco,
the other founder, was a member of the New York Society.
The growth of the Society was not rapid, in fact it was slow; yet
it was a steady growth. Each year showed an increase of membership.
One of the greatest obstacles was the lack of such Revolutionary records
as were to be found in the Eastern States. Our modern Western libraries
contained none, and, as a Society, the accumulation of a library was un-
dertaken and extended. This development of a library has been one of
the important works of the Society, and it now possesses one of more
than sixteen hundred volumes, many of which are priceless. As far
as is known, the Society's library contains the complete publications of
every State Society, and these publications have in themselves proved in-
valuable to its work.
This history is not intended to set forth in chronological sequence
the growth or affairs of the Society, nor to deal in personal mention
except wherein it may be absolutely necessary to give emphasis to the
facts.
Before giving an outline of the work of this Society, it is deemed
proper to make reference to the object of the organization. It is hoped
46 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
and believed that the interrogation, "For what purpose?" so often asked,
will be answered.
In consequence of the heterogeneity of the population of the United
States, in which the vast majority are either foreign born or of foreign
born parents, the standard of citizenship established by the founders of
this, the greatest, grandest and finest government ever vouchsafed to man-
kind, was rapidly deteriorating. The observance of the days which
marked events and men and which were revered by our forefathers, were
passing into decline and disfavor.
Who could re-establish this standard of citizenship or awaken a
renewed interest in the observance of our National holidays ? None so
well as could the descendants of Revolutionary ancestors. Most cer-
tainly the founders of the first organization so determined, for this
thought is made the keynote of the constitution of every Society of the
Sons of the Revolution which has been instituted. Xo religious creed
is recognized. No partisan politics have any place in its affairs. The
requirements for membership are a good moral character and proof of
descent from an ancestor who loyally supported the cause of the Patriots,
either as a soldier, sailor, marine, or civil officer during the Revolution,
and who remained loyal to the end of the war. These requirements have
been strictly adhered to by the California Society as will be found in the
ensuing pages of this volume.
This Society has been peculiarly fortunate in having enrolled among
its members three gentlemen, three real sons of Revolutionary soldiers.
One of these, Mr. George Washington Peachy, died in 1910 at the age of
eight-one years. The other two, Judge Lewis Patrick Phillips and Mr.
Francis Marion Lemmon, each of whom has passed his four score years,
are still living and honored.
Situated as California is thousands of miles away from the historic
places made famous by the Revolution, it is denied the quickening of
patriotic sentiment which is aroused by them but none are unmindful
of duty and all keep fresh the enthusiasm obtained in the observance of
days made glorious by heroic ancestors.
This Society has been most loyal and determined in its efforts tend-
ing to the general good of the organization. At a meeting of the Society
held on the anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, June 17th, 1894,
a memorial to the Congress of the United States was adopted, asking
that body to publish the Archives of the Revolution, those precious docu-
ments which were in the possession of the various departments of the
government. From all the information that was obtainable they appa-
rently were in a condition of chaotic neglect and fast becoming illegible.
This memorial was sent to the senators and representatives in Congress.
At the meeting of the General Society held in Boston, Massachusetts, in
April, 1895, this Memorial was committed to a special committee, and
since has been continuously before the General Society as an object for
its attention. At the Annual Meeting of the California Society in 1913,
by resolution it then adopted a memorial to the General Society, in which
HISTORY, CALIFORNIA SOCIETY 47
all the State Societies were invited to join, praying that the General
Society publish a register of the membership of all the State Societies,
the same to be carried out along the lines of this volume. The memorial
failed in its purpose, but it is hoped that the seed sown by its promul-
gation may yet spring up and bear fruit.
During the year 1913, the Board of Directors, the managing body
of this Society, determined upon a campaign having for its end an in-
crease of membership. This campaign continued and resulted in the
membership being increased more than two-fold. With the income derived
from that increase, the library was enlarged by more than three hundred
volumes at an expenditure of over one thousand dollars.
As an evidence of the patriotism and military ardor of this Society,
it should be stated that during the Spanish-American War, although the
membership was small, many of its members served with distinction in
both establishments of the army, the Regular and Volunteer, and in the
Navy. A number of the gentlemen who have joined this Society since
that time are veterans of that war.
The California Society is honored by having two of its members
officers of the General Society at the present time Mr. James Mortimer
Montgomery as General President, and Col. Holdridge Ozro Collins as
General Historian. These gentlemen are life members of this Society
and are both members also of the New York Society.
Before closing this history and with no desire of intrenching upon
the prerogative of the editor-in-chief, Mr. Orra Eugene Monnette, I wish
to say something as to the design and scope of this work.
It is not to give prominence to the name of the member, but to show
the right in which his name appears, the name and record of the Revolu-
tionary ancestor, and to give his lineage the links of evidence by which
all the names will be preserved in history.
We boast not of whom we are: we simply point to our ancestors.
We had nothing to do with our being born our being here is the accident
of birth. We did not found this government, the most glorious of all
governments. It is our heritage, and we have taken our pledge to keep
it inviolate as handed to us, the freest and most to be honored of all the
governments of earth a nation blessed of God.
As we read the pages of our country's history, we find them illum-
ined and made brilliant by a light that comes from the graves of our
dead heroic ancestors. We call it
The Wondrous Light
Let the wondrous light, that glimmers
From the graves of heroes dead,
Shine as a radiant nimbus
Above the Sovereign head
Of every true American,
48 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
Who stands for Truth and Right
In the warfare that is waging
Against oppression's might;
And may this light grow brighter
As the nation still shall grow,
And spots now dark forever fade
In the radiance of its glow.

Till all the world shall ring
With praises for a nation
Where each man is a King.

Preamble
The California Society, Sons of the Revolution, has been incorpo-
rated for the purposes of perpetuating among their descendants the
memory of those brave men who perilled their lives and fortunes in the
War of the Revolution to wrest the American Colonies from British domin-
ion ; for the collection and preservation of manuscripts, records and docu-
ments relating to that contest for independence ; for the inspiration among
its members and their children of the patriotic spirit of their forefathers ;
for the inculcation of a love of country and veneration for the principles

ARTICLE I
Name of Society
This Society shall be known by the name, style and title of "Sons
of the Revolution."
ARTICLE II
Membership
Any male person, above the age of twenty-one years, shall be eligible
to membership in the Sons of the Revolution who is descended from an
ancestor, as the propositus, who, either as a military, naval or marine
officer, soldier, sailor or marine, or official in the service of any one of
the thirteen original Colonies or States, or of the National Government
representing or composed of those Colonies or States, assisted in estab-
lishing American Independence during the War of the Revolution be-
tween the 19th day of April, 1775, when hostilities commenced, and the
19th day of April, 1783, when they were ordered to cease.
52 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
PROVIDED: That when the claim of eligibility is based on the
service of an ancestor in the "minute men" or "militia," it must be sat-
isfactorily shown that such ancestor was actually called into the service
of the State or the United States, and performed garrison or field duty;
and
PROVIDED FURTHER: That when the claim of eligibility is
based on the service of an ancestor as a "sailor" or "marine," it must in
like manner be shown that such service was other than shore duty and
regularly performed in the Continental Navy, or the Navy of one of
the original thirteen States, or on an armed vessel, other than a merchant
ship, which sailed under letters of marque and reprisal, and that such
ancestor of the applicant was duly enrolled in the ship's company, either
as an officer, seaman, or otherwise than as a passenger; and
PROVIDED FURTHER: That when the claim of eligibility is
based on the service of an ancestor as an "official," such service must
have been performed in the civil service of the United States, or of one
of the thirteen original States, and must have been sufficiently important
in character to have rendered the official specially liable to arrest and
imprisonment, the same as a combatant, if captured by the enemy, as
well as liable to the conviction of treason against the Government of
Great Britain.
Service in the ordinary duties of a civil office, the performance of
which did not particularly and effectively aid the American cause, shall
not constitute eligibility.
In the construction of this article, the Volunteer Aides-de-Camp of
General Officers in Continental Service, who were duly announced as
such and who actually served in the field during a campaign, shall be
comprehended as having performed qualifying service.
The civil officials and military forces of the State of Vermont, during
the War of the Revolution, shall also be comprehended in the same manner
as if they had belonged to one of the thirteen original States.
No service of an ancestor shall be deemed as qualifying service for
membership in the SONS OF THE REVOLUTION, where such an-
cestor, after assisting in the cause of American Independence, shall have
subsequently either adhered to the enemy, or failed to maintain an honor-
able record throughout the War of the Revolution.
No person shall be admitted unless he be eligible under one of the
provisions of this Article, nor unless he be of good moral character and
be judged worthy of becoming a member.

hereto, which is recited at the conclusion of these By-Laws.
SECTION XXIV.
Honorable Councillor.
There is hereby created in this Society an official designation of "Hon-
orable Councillor," which shall be an office of honorary distinction solely,
carrying with it neither authority, nor obligation, nor duty, in itself, but
it shall be awarded by the Board of Directors as a reward of merit, to
any member of the Society, who shall be eligible thereto, subject, how-
ever, to a previous recommendation therefor or a subsequent ratification
thereof by the Society.
No one shall be eligible to such an award unless he shall have been
either a charter or a life member of the Society, the latter for a period
of at least five years, and shall likewise be in good standing at the time
of appointment; and, in addition, either shall have performed long con-
tinued and faithful service as an officer of the Society, or shall have
bestowed some special honor or distinction upon it, or shall have achieved
some notable and patriotic fame as a citizen of the commonwealth.
The award shall continue in effect during the life of the appointee
or during good behavior, but may be rescinded by the Board of Directors,
for -cause, either upon its own initiative or the direction of the Society,
subject, however, to the filing with the Secretary of the Society of a
formal and verified statement of any member setting forth any grounds
of alleged misbehavior.
Further, the Board of Directors shall have power to make such award
annually and the name or names of the Honorable Councillors then in
office shall be printed in all publications of the Society as a "Roll of
BY-LAWS, CALIFORNIA SOCIETY 69
Honor" thereof. Upon request of the Board of Directors or by action
of the Society, any one of said Councillors may be requested to act with
said Board in an advisory capacity, at any time.
As supplementary to the mode of procedure relative to the applica-
tions for membership as provided in Section XXIII, of the By-Laws, the
Board of Directors, upon March 27th, 1914, adopted the following reso-
lution, for the guidance of the officers of the Society and particularly the
Membership Committee:
RESOLUTION
RESOLVED, That, in pursuance of the requirements of the Consti-
tution and By-Laws applicable to the admission of new members, the
determination of their eligibility and qualifications, and the powers and
duties of the Board of Directors in connection therewith, and further, in
supplementing the particular provisions of Section XXIII of the By-Laws
recently adopted by the Society relating to the method of taking action
upon applications for membership in the Society,
There shall be annually elected by the Board of Directors a standing
Committee to be known as the Membership Committee, composed of three
members of said Board, excepting the Secretary or Assistant Secretary,
who shall not be eligible thereto, whose special duty shall be to examine
all original applications for membership and all supplementary records
presented by members and to pass upon the same upon two points, namely:
whether or not the Revolutionary ancestor of the applicant or member
performed the Revolutionary services requisite within the meaning of
the Constitution of the Society, and whether or not such services are
sufficiently authenticated by record, printed or other evidentiary authority.
It shall be the duty of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary upon the
filing of an application for membership, or of a supplementary record,
to secure the approval thereof by at least two. members of said Member-
ship Committee, prior to any recordation thereof.
Said Membership Committee shall not have the power to reject any
application for membership or any supplementary record, but in the event
any one of said Committee request it or, for any reason, the necessary
approval be not given thereupon, the same shall be referred to the Board
of Directors to be considered and determined upon at a formal meeting
of said Board.
But, nothing herein shall change the mode of procedure as pro-
vided in Section XXIII of the By-Laws, but shall be only supplementary
thereto.

SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
in tne
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
How to Become a Member
of the
Society, Sons of the Revolution,
in the
State of California
It is the desire of the Society that the representative and sturdy type
of citizenship of California shall seek admission to membership in this
Society. With that thought in view a preliminary statement follows as
to the origin and nature of the Society, and attention is particularly called
to the formulated purposes of the organization:
The Society of Sons of the Revolution was instituted upon the
anniversary of Washington's Birthday, 1876, at the City of New York,
in the long room of Fraunces' Tavern, and at the present time there
is an organized Society in most of the States.
The General Society is composed of delegates from each State
Society.
The State Societies are independent in all matters relating to
their own government, subject only to the Constitution and delegated
powers of the General Society.
This society is non-sectarian, non-secret, and non-partisan in
religious and political matters and its purposes are stated in the Con-
stitution, viz.:
"The California Society, Sons of the Revolution, has been incor-
porated for the purposes of perpetuating among their descendants,
the memory of the brave men who periled their lives and fortunes in
the War of the Revolution to wrest the American Colonies from
British dominion; for the collection and preservation of manuscripts,
records and documents relating to that contest for Independence; for
the inspiration among its members and their children of the patriotic
spirit of their forefathers; for the inculcation of a love of country
and veneration for the principles which are the foundation of our
National unity, and the promotion of social intercourse and cordial
fellowship among its members."
To become a member of this Society the applicant must be twenty-one
years of age, possessing a good, moral character, and particularly of good
standing in the community. His application for membership must be
prepared along the lines of the Constitutional requirements for member-
ship, which are hereinafter given, should be in the form prescribed by the
Society, and must receive the endorsement and recommendation of two
members of the Society.
1. Genealogical Research.
To those who are not familiar with the methods of securing genealogi-
cal data and establishing family history, the field of research appears to
be unlimited, uncertain and so difficult of exploration that it presents
98 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
some discouraging features to the novitiate. However, genealogy is an
exact science and the hand-maiden of historical investigation, offering
much of interest and certain rewards for its faithful and conscientious
pursuit. It has become so popularized in the last twenty-five years and
the lineages of so large a number of families, descendants from the Colo-
nial Period, established, that to any one possessing the time and patience,
and whose ancestors were in America prior to and during the Revolu-
tionary Period, the problem of finding a Revolutionary progenitor, whose
service may not even have been preserved in family record or by indefinite
tradition, or of establishing the authentic record of Revolutionary service
of an ancestor, whose name as a soldier or sailor has been preserved in
the family annals as a matter of special distinction, is not, after all, so
impossible of solution, or necessarily beyond the grasp of any one becom-
ing interested, even though his information and lines of research may at
first seem so limited.
If possessing no previous knowledge of genealogical research, the
wisest and least expensive course is to consult a friend who may possess
such knowledge or any officer of a patriotic or genealogical society, who
will be pleased to offer aid and suggestions. There are also reputable
professional genealogists whose services can be secured at a moderate
expenditure of money.
If you have a relative who has already become a member of any one
of the Revolutionary patriotic societies, such as; Sons of the Revolution,
Sons of the American Revolution, Daughters of the American Revolution,
Daughters of the Revolution, Society of the Cincinnati and Order of
Founders and Patriots, or if there is in print a published genealogy of
your family, the basis for your record is laid. Securing the benefit of
this information, your procedure is comparatively easy. If neither source
of information exist, then your genealogical foundations must be estab-
lished from original sources.
To the class who are compelled, because no one has pioneered before
them in searching out their family history, to explore entirely new lines
of research, a word of caution is not only appropriate but will prove bene-
ficial. A personal experience of some fifteen years had by the writer as a
genealogist verifies the importance of this suggestion. The tendency of a
beginner is to turn too soon to printed books and records, before fully
exhausting the information to be found within his own family and among
his own relatives. Postponing the search of outside authorities and the
examination of books, the VERY FIRST THING TO DO is to start with
oneself, birth, marriage and children, with a care always as to dates and
locations, and writing this out in convenient form, let this serve as the
foundation upon which the superstructure of genealogical history is to be
builded. THE NEXT STEP is the placing upon this foundation in the
nature of a corner-stone, of your parentage, correlating the same facts of
births, marriages, and children. THE THIRD STEP is the following of
the same course with respect to your FOUR grand-parents, neglecting in
no instance the names of all children in each generation, for even the
names may possess some signification or suggestion as to their origin.
THE NEXT STEP is repeating the same process of the earlier generation
with your EIGHT great-grand-parents, and so on, tracing YOUR LINE-
AGE back to the generations antedating and co-existent with the Revolu-
tionary Period of 1775 to 1783, and the man who is under forty years of
age at this time, will be surprised to learn, if he has not thought of it
previously, that he has sixteen great-great-grandparents who were possibly
living at that Period, and further thirty-two great-great-great-grandparents
likewise of possible existence then, one-half of whom were males, any one
or more of the latter of whom were of sufficient age to have been partici-
pants in the War of the American Revolution. And, when it is understood
that boys of the age of ten years served, and very old men, reaching to the
ages of seventy-five and eighty years, there is possible the discovery of
HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER
authentic records of Revolutionary service of from sixteen to twenty of
such ancestors. This possibility does not suggest itself until some thought
is given to the proposition, but when fully understood certainly minimizes
the chances of failure in pursuing a careful and painstaking genealogical
research.
Therefore, following along the lines thus laid down, TRACE YOUR
LINEAGE BACKWARD, securing the necessary information within your
own family sources, using family records and traditions as your guides.
When this field has been patiently exhausted, you will have saved yourself
much time and expense in the long run and will then be justified in turning
to published and original probate and land records of state, town and
county, as well as cemetery records and tombstone inscriptions. Then,
other sources of information present themselves, as one suggests another,
until you shall have to your entire satisfaction established YOUR LINE-
AGE BACK to the male ancestors who lived during the Revolutionary
Period. In this search avoid the confusion existing from the fact that
father and son very frequently bore the same name, and be sure of the
identification of each with the locality and the record found. Further,
the variations in the spelling of names of German, Dutch and French an-
cestors, arising from phonetic influences in spelling, should be ever kept
in mind, for many record searches otherwise baffling have been rendered
successful by clear evidence that the family names have undergone many
changes in spelling since 1775.
Having found these ancestors under search and, particularly if several
have been so established, the finding of the authentic records of Revolu-
tionary service is made probable and reduces itself to a matter of verifica-
tion.
Original papers exhibiting this service, such as commissions, dis-
charges, muster-rolls, etc., very frequently exist in the family archives.
These sufficiently prove the service and are accepted as authority. Certain
miscellaneous original manuscripts may be in existence, of which certified
copies can be secured and presented as proof. If these show the service,
they will suffice. Tradition is not available in proof, except as a guide in
search, and the record, to which reference is made, must be fixed in original
sources and not have its authenticity based upon the statements or deduc-
tions of the applicant or genealogists.
At this point in the order of explanation and suggested guidance, a
careful examination of the constitutional requirements for membership
in the Society, Sons of the Revolution, in the State of Califorina, should
be undertaken. These appear in the following presentation, to which has
been added a "Bibliography and Record Sources of Revolutionary Service,"
which should be of material assistance in preparing papers for application
for membership.
2. Constitutional Requirements for Membership.
Any male person above the age of twenty-one years shall be eligible to
membership in the SONS OF THE REVOLUTION, who is descended from
an ancestor, as the propositus, who, either as a military, naval, or marine
officer, soldier, sailor, or marine, or official in the service of any one of
the thirteen original Colonies or States, or of the National Government
representing or composed of those Colonies or States, assisted in establish-
ing American Independence during the War of the Revolution, between
the 19th day of April, 1775, when hostilities commenced, and the 19th day
of April, 1783, when they were ordered to cease.
Provided: That when the claim of eligibility is based on the service
of an ancestor in the "minute-men" or "militia," it must be satisfactorily
shown that such ancestor was actually called into the service of the State
or United States, and performed garrison or field duty; and
100 SOCIETY. SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
Provided further: That when the claim of eligibility is based on
the service of an ancestor as a "sailor" or "marine," it must in like manner
be shown that such service was other than shore duty and regularly per-
formed in the Continental Navy of one of the original thirteen States, or
an armed vessel, other than a merchant ship, which sailed under letters
of marque or reprisal, and that such ancestor of the applicant was duly
enrolled in the ship's company, either as an officer, seaman, or otherwise
than as a passenger; and
Provided, further: That when the claim of eligibility is based on
the service of an ancestor as an "official," such service must have been
performed in the civil service of the United States, or of one of the thir-
teen original States, and must have been sufficiently important in character
to have rendered the official specially liable to arrest and imprisonment,
the same as a combatant, if captured by the enemy, as well as liable to
conviction of treason against the government of Great Britain.
Service in the ordinary duties of a civil office, the performance of
which did not particularly and effectively aid in the American Cause shall
not constitute eligibility.
In the construction of this article, the Volunteer Aides-de-Camp of
General Officers in Continental Service, who were duly announced as such,
and who actually served in the field during a campaign, shall be compre-
hended as having performed qualifying service.
The civil officials and military forces of the State of Vermont, during
the War of the Revolution, shall also be comprehended in the same manner
as if they had belonged to one of the thirteen original States.
No service of an ancestor shall be deemed as qualifying service for
membership in the SONS OF THE REVOLUTION where such ancestor,
after assisting in the cause of American Independence, shall have subse-
quently either adhered to the enemy, or failed to maintain an honorable
record throughout the War of the Revolution.
No person shall be admitted unless he is eligible under one of the
provisions of this Article, nor unless he is of good moral character and is
judged worthy of becoming a member.
Every application for membership shall be made in writing, subscribed
by the applicant and approved by two members over their signatures.
Applications shall contain, or be accompanied by, proof of eligibility, and
such applications and proofs shall be submitted to the Board of Directors,
who shall have full power to determine the qualifications of the applicant.
Payment of the initiation fee and subscription to the declaration
required by the Constitution of this Society shall be a pre-requisite of
membership.
The initiation fee is ten dollars; the annual dues, five dollars, which
shall be payable on the first day of January in every year, becoming delin-
quent on April first. The payment at one time of fifty dollars thence-
forth exempts the member so paying from the payment of annual dues.
Any member who may contribute two hundred dollars to the "Perma-
nent Fund" of the Society shall be exempt from the payment of annual
dues, and this exemption shall extend in perpetuity to his lineal successors
in membership from the same propositus, one at a time, who may be
selected for such exemption by the Society.
Applications for membership must be made in duplicate upon blanks
furnished by this Society.
In preparing applications for membership, attention to the following
suggestions is recommended, in order to facilitate the work of the Board
of Directors:
1. State Revolutionary and biographical record of ancestor fully
and concisely.
HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER 101
2. Give authority for each act of Revolutionary service of ancestor.
3. The Society does not accept Cyclopaedias, Genealogical works, or
Town or County histories except such as contain Rosters as authorities
for service, but suggests reference to the records, in print or manuscript,
of the several States, and of the United States Departments of War, of
the Navy, of State, and of the Bureau of Pensions.
4. In referring to printed works, the volume and page should in all
cases be correctly given.
5. References to authorities in manuscript must be accompanied by
certified copies, and authentic family papers must be submitted, if required.
6. Every application and duplicate must be signed by the applicant,
and sworn to, or affirmed, before a Notary Public, or other officer author-
ized to administer an oath.
3. Bibliography and Record Sources of Revolutionary Service.
Contrary to a possibly preconceived idea in the minds of one not
familiar with the subject, complete rolls or lists of soldiers, sailors and
civil participants in the Revolutionary War, with details of service, do not
exist. However, the bibliography of the history and events of the Revo-
lution, together with more recently compiled lists and records of the
soldiers, sailors and other patriots is quite extensive, and many sources
of information are available for investigation.
Therefore, in the preparation of your application papers, the follow-
ing directions to authoritive guides and standards will be almost invalu-
able.
a. General.
There are many histories of the Revolution, memoirs of its officers,
chronologies of its events and recollections of its participants, published
from 1780 down to the year 1860, now nearly all out of print, and there
are later city, town, county and local histories, all of which may be of
value in tending to establish the record under search, but the merit of
which as an authority must be scrutinized as to the character of the state-
ment of Revolutionary service, and particularly so if not susceptible of
proof in other ways. Hence, this field of Revolutionary literature, which
extends to several hundreds of volumes to be found in the more complete
public libraries, is to be covered here.
Original records in the possession of the United States Government,
in its several Departments and offices, together with its printed publica-
tions; the same of the several States comprising the original thirteen
Colonies and some of the Middle Western States; the original records of
cities and towns, as particularly in Massachusetts and other New England
States, and of counties, as particularly in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Virginia; and all printed books and compilations, published under recog-
nized authority and for the special purpose of preserving Revolutionary
records, furnish the more important and main sources of authority. Many
historical societies and genealogical organizations of repute have published
authentic material, which can be safely used, and without tabulation, the
more prominent, such as the N. E. Historical and Genealogical Register,
and The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record may be cited.
The "Spirit of '76," a magazine long since out of print, contained valuable
lists and data. The year books, registers and compilations of the various
patriotic organizations based upon the Revolutionary War are suggested
sources. The monthly magazine published by the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution has presented many original records. Its reports to the
Smithsonian Institution, made under an Act of Congress, possess a certain
102 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
measure of authority. Its published Lineage Books are invaluable, when
based upon proper references. More than 100,000 have joined the Na-
tional Society of the D. A. R. and its present membership exceeds 90,000.
b. Governmental.
In the United States War Department, in charge of the Adjutant
General, are to be found all muster and pay rolls of soldiers in the posses-
sion of the government. Abstracts or certificates of service will be fur-
nished to applicants who comply with certain requirements in asking for
information.
In the Bureau of Pensions, a division of the Department of the
Interior of the U. S. Government, are on file the claim papers of nearly
100,000 Revolutionary soldiers and their widows. The U. S. Commissioner
of Pensions, Washington, D. C., will furnish abstracts or certificates of
service upon proper request.
Various lists of pensioners have been published by authority of the
Government, based upon reports of its various Departments, and the most
notable of these is "Pierce's Register," printed in 1786, of which but three
or four copies appear to be extant. The original manuscript is in the
Treasury Department of the United States, and in the Library of Congress
are preserved two printed copies. It exhibits nearly 100,000 certificates
issued for payment of soldiers for services in the war. A reprint of this
valuable work is being urged. Certain publications of the government
showing the pensioners and where resident were issued in 1820, 1835
(pension rolls, by States) and 1841 (Census of pensioners). Vol. 6 of the
Minnesota Historical Collections, pp. 502 et seq. gives lists of pensioners
of the United States for 1813.

The Liberty Bell
The Society's First Journalistic Endeavor
Under the very efficient supervision of the Publicity Com-
mittee of the Society, composed of Messrs. Pierson Worrall
Banning, Chairman, Robert Le Roy Beardsley, and Frank
Hervey Pettingell, upon March 1 , 1915, there was issued and
distributed to the membership of the Society the initial number
of Vol. I, of "The Liberty Bell." This was the Society's
first attempt to print a current and continuous publication, which
might reflect in its expression something of the activity, growth
and welfare of the organization. It has been so well received
and invited so much favorable comment for its continuation that
a reproduction of this first issue, as a history marker for the
Society, has been thought advisable. Therefore, it follows, in
somewhat the same form in which it appeared, to be thereby
the more permanently preserved in this publication. Editor.

SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
Vol. I
Los Angeles, Marct, 1915
No. 1
A Foreword
This publication is presented with
the hope that a greater interest may
be aroused among the members of this
Society and their friends, and as it is
found advisable other issues will ap-
pear.
Some of the purposes of this Society
with a short resume of its history fol-
lows. It should be an incentive for
every member to make every effort to
bring in as many new members as pos-
sible. In your family and among your
acquaintances you no doubt have friends
who belong to other State Societies who
if properly approached would be glad
of an opportunity to affiliate with us.
This is your opportunity to do what we
greatly need at this time. There are
also many desirable, eligible persons,
not' members of any Society, who would
doubtless gladly accept an invitation
to join with us.
Sons of the Revolution
The Society of the Sons of the Revo-
lution was instituted in the State of
New York, on the anniversary of the
birthday of Washington, February 22,
1876, and reorganized on the present
basis December 4, 1883.
Following New York, similar socie-
ties were formed in several states, and
finally a national organization was pci-
fected April 19, 1890, under the name
of "The General Societv of the Sons of
the Revolution," with headquarters in
New York City. The General Society
embraces the various State organiza-
tions, and the objects, government,
work and requirements for all the so-
cieties are the same. The Society is
now well established by State organiza-
tions in most of the Eastern and many
of the Western States, and is rapidly
growing.
The necessity for and the purposes of
the Sons of the Revolution are thus
stated in the Constitution of the General
Society :
"It has become evident from the de-
cline of proper celebration of such Na-
tional holidays as the Fourth of July,
Washington's Birthday and the like,
that proper interest in the events and
men of the War of the Revolution is
less than in the earlier days of the Re-
public." It attributes this failing inter-
est "not so much to lapse of time as to
the neglect on the part of descendants of
Revolutionary heroes to perform their
duty of keeping before the public mind
the memory of the services of their an-
cestors, and of the times in which they
lived, and of the principles for which
they contended."
Objects
The objects of the Society are stated,
as follows, in the preamble to the Con-
stitution :
"To perpetuate the memory of men
who, in military, naval or civil service,
by their acts or counsel, achieved Amer-
The Liberty Bell
ican Independence ; to promote and
assist in the proper celebration of the
anniversaries of Washington's Birth-
day, the battles of Lexington and Bun-
ker Hill, the Fourth of July, the Capit-
ulations of Saratoga and Yorktown, the
Evacuation of New York by the British
Army, as a relinquishment of territorial
sovereignty, and other prominent events
related to or connected with the War of
the Revolution; to collect and secure
for preservation the manuscript rolls,
records and other documents and me-
morials relating to that war; to inspire
among the members and their descend-
ants the patriotic spirit of their fore-
fathers; to inculcate in the community
in general sentiments of Nationality
and respect for the principles for which
the patriots of the Revolution contend-
ed ; to assist in the commemorative cele-
bration of other great historical events
of National importance, and to promote
social intercourse and the feeling of
fellowship among its members."
Our New Year Book
The California Society is now com-
pleting a Year Book that will probably
equal or lead any such publication ever
gotten out by any individual Society of
the Sons of the Revolution. This val-
uable record and reference book not
only gives the various lines of ancestry
in the Revolutionary War for each
member as qualified, but presents the
dates of birth and death of each gen-
eration. The net result is that there
are now listed for reference nearly six
hundred Revolutionary War ancestors
of the members of this Society.
Many names of unlisted South Caro-
lina soldiers never before published will
appear in this edition..
This work was inspired by Mr. Orra
E. Monnette, who, with the co-opera-
tion of Mr. Leon L. French, has com-
piled a most valuable and authentic
record. The publishing of this work
will cost much more than anticipated.
It is to be hoped that the members of
this Society will evidence their appre-
ciation of the arduous work on the
part of the committee, embracing many
days and nights of hard work at great
inconvenience and sacrifice to their
own personal affairs, by subscribing for
one or more copies. The edition is
limited.
Free speech is a precious right, and
so is free action. But the tongue has
no more right than the hand to abuse
its freedom.
Prominent Visitors
The General Registrar of the Gen-
eral Society of the Sons of the Revolu-
tion, Hon. George Eltweed Pomeroy of
Toledo, is stopping at Hotel Hunting-
ton, Pasadena.
Another prominent visitor in our
midst is Mr. Robert Taylor Varnum,
of the New York Society. He is now
the guest of Mr. H. E. Huntington.
Our General Secretary, Prof. William
Libbey, of Princeton, N. J., writes that
he and Governor Fielder, with other
members of the Governor's Staff (31 in
all) will be in Los Angeles on May 15.
"Breathes there a man with soul
so dead
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native
land;
Whose heart hath ne'er within
him burned
As home his footsteps he hath
turned
i From wandering on a foreign
strand ?"
The Liberty Bell
New Members
It is with pride that this Society is
able to state that during the past year
the membership has almost doubled.
This is one indication that the interest
in the work of this Society is rapidly in-
creasing.
The group of hard workers for the
greater development of this Society,
continues to press its efforts upon all
sources that can be reached for a fur-
ther growth of membership this year.
At present the Society has a member-
ship of about two hundred, and it is
hoped that the next few months will
show an additional one hundred or
more new names enrolled-
The New Year Book of this Society
should prove a great incentive towards
interesting new members. It will en-
able many who desire data regarding
their ancestors to find such authenti-
cated information within its covers.
Thus with our growing interest, and
the unusual facilities offered through
our large reference library and the new
Year Book, we should expand and
grow as no other Society of the Sons
of the Revolution ever has done.
For those not in possession of the
necessary information to enable them to
join this Society, arrangements can be
made through the Secretary's office to
have family records investigated.
Send names of prospective members
to the Secretary of the Society, Mr.
Robert Le Roy Beardsley.
We want your sons and nephews to
join.
The California Society of the Sons
of the Revolution was instituted May
8th, 1893, being now twenty-one years
old. Its Hall and Library are at 814
San Fernando building, Los Angeles.
Secretary's Notes
The volume of correspondence fall-
ing to the office of the Secretary of this
Society is far greater than the members
ever anticipated. During the year 1913-
1914 the Secretary's files showed over
twenty-five hundred letters to Senators,
Congressmen,- Adjutant-Generals, Li-
brarians, Patriotic Societies, Genealo-
gists, Book Dealers, Historical Societies
and other persons.
During the preceding three years the
Society did not average over forty let-
ters a year.
This hard work on the part of the
Secretary has been amply repaid by the
many volumes of books that have been
donated to the Society library; by the
added interest that it has produced not
only among our members, but also
among those interested in the work.-
The Library of the Sons of the Revo-
lution in the State of California now
has over 1600 volumes of reference
books, histories of states, counties and
cities, genealogies and other editions
and records many of which can not be
obtained at any price. In connection
with this Society, the Society of Colonial
Wars has its library in the same place.
The combined libraries bring a total of
over two thousand volumes of the great-
est value to the work of this organiza-
tion. These books are for the use of
the members of this Society and their
friends.
Hon. David Hewes, care Hewes
ranch, near Orange, Cal., is the grand-
son of one of the Revolutionary War
soldiers. A short time ago he presented
the library of this Society with a very
fine genealogy of the Hewes family.
The California Society of the Sons
of the Revolution, at Los Angeles, has
appointed the following delegates to the
International Congress of Genealogy to
be held at San Francisco July 26th to
The Liberty Bell
31st, 1915, under the auspices of the
California Genealogical Society: Frank
H. Pettingell, Col. Freeman G. Teed,
Orra E. Monnette and James R. Page.
The Triennial Report of the ITu-
ceedings of the Meeting of the General
Society of the Sons of the Revolution is
ready for distribution to the members of
the Society. Those members not yet re-
ceiving their copy can ob'tain the same
by calling at the Hall of the Society.
The suggestion has been made that
the various Patriotic Societies of Los
Angeles form a Federation, having
common headquarters with various
halls, libraries and other accommoda-
tions.
Last Annual Meeting
The Annual Meeting of the Cali-
fornia Society of the Sons of the Revo-
lution was held January 14th, 1915, at
the hall of the Society. It was pre-
ceded by a luncheon at the Bristol Cafe,
where there was a large representation.
The new officers of the Society elected
at that time are:
President, Arthur J. Waters; Vice-
President, Orra E. Monnette ; Second
rice-President, Col. Freeman G. Teed;
Secretary, Robert Le Roy Beardsley;
Assistant Secretary, Leon L. French;
Treasurer, James R. Page ; Assistant
Treasurer, Willis M. Dixon ; Registrar,
Herbert L. Cornish; Chaplain, Rev.
Richard D. Hollington ; Historian,
Richard Ingalese; Marshal, Loren O.
Crenshaw; Librarian, Willis M.
Dixon ; Genealogist, Pierson W. Ban-
ning.
Notes
There have been admitted to mem-
bership in this Society since its organ-
ization 264 gentlemen.
There are on hand several applica-
tions for membership as well as a num-
ber of Supplemental Applications by
members.

BYAORRA EUGENE MONNETTE
A California Book
As was stated in the "Introductory Note" this is distinctively
a California book. It has been sought to give it a character which
should reflect in its pages the patriotism and distinction which
belongs to the California people just as strongly and positively as
to those who live in the eastern portions of the United States and
who have some special claims on account of location to the tradi-
tionary and actual events of the Revolutionary period.
With this particular purpose in mind, the following "California
Chronology" has been included in this work in order to establish
in the minds of the reader something of the history, romance and
partiotic intensity of this splendid State. This compilation is neither
exhaustive nor detailed, but an attempt has been made to give the
most important dates which have marked the most striking and
forceful events of California history. It is worth while to note that
this compilation is a pioneer in its field as no similar tabulation of
the chronology of California has ever been attempted. It has been
compiled upon the authoritative works of history as a basis and has
received the careful criticism of the heads of the reference depart-
ments of both the State Library at Sacramento, California, and the
Los Angeles Public Library. As to the latter, the valuable co-
operation and assistance of Miss Susanna C. Ott and Miss Laura
C. Cooley should be mentioned for credit. It is believed that this
will not only enhance the value of this publication of the Society
but will at the same time prove a valuable handbook or compendium
of California history of ready and convenient use and value.
California Chronology
A Period of
Three Hundred and Fifty Years
1510-1860
COMPILED BY ORRA EUGENE MONNETTE*
1510
Origin of the name, "California." The name California is first
used in a romance published in Spain in 1510 and written by Garcia
Ordonez de Montalvo, the translator of the Amadis de Gaul, and called
Las Sergas de Esplandidn, or the Adventures of Esplandian. The Sergas
is often referred to as the fifth book of the Amadis. In this book, which
was an extremely popular piece of literature at the time of the conquest
of Mexico, there is an island called California. By "California" there
was implied insularity coupled with riches.
"Know," says the Sergas, "that on the right hand of the Indies
there is an island called California very close to the side of the Terrestrial
Paradise ; and it is peopled by black women, without any man among them,
for they live in the manner of Amazons. They were of strong and hardy
bodies, of ardent courage, and great force. Their island was the strongest
in the world, with its steep cliffs and rock shores. Their arms were of
gold, and so was the harness of the wild beasts they tamed to ride, for
in the whole island there was no metal but gold."
1511
Sixteenth-century cartography, at this date and later, particularly
in the maps, "Lenox Globe" and "Sylvanus Map," persists in the idea
of North America as a group of islands. A continuous search for a
passage through this archipelago, leading to Asia, was the goal of sub-
sequent voyages of discovery. It was the result of this universal notion
that California was discovered.
1513
Vasco Nunez de Balboa, a Spanish navigator, crosses the Isthmus
of Panama and discovers the Pacific Ocean.
1515
Francisco Pizarro, a Spanish adventurer, who had been associated
with Vasco Nunez de Balboa, when the latter discovered the Pacific Ocean
in 1513, visits the Pacific South American Coasts and becomes the dis-
coverer of Peru. * copyright 1915
114 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
1519
Alonzo Alvarez de Pineda is the first European to view the broadly
flowing waters of the Mississippi River, but he is not generally credited
as its discoverer, that honor being universally given to Hernando de Soto.
1519
Hernando Cortes, at the head of a Spanish expedition, undertakes
an exploration and conquest of Mexico.
1520
Fernao de Magalhaes, whom we know as Ferdinand Magellan, a
Portuguese navigator, discovers and makes passage of the straits after-
wards bearing his name, and is the first European navigator to cross the
Pacific Ocean.
1521
Spanish conquest of Mexico by Hernando Cortes is completed and
the country is called "Nueva Espana," or "New Spain."
1521
Fernao de Magelhaes discovers the islands subsequently known as
the Philippine Islands. Other voyages across the Pacific Ocean, with
these islands as an objective point, had a direct bearing then, and an
influence later, upon the history of California.
1522
The circumnavigation of the globe by the sailing vessels, which had
been commenced by Fernao de Magalhaes, who was killed in 1521 during
the voyage, is accomplished by a return to the point of previous em-
barkation.
1522
Previous to Magellan's voyage the belief had existed that North
America was an archipelago and was traversed by an inter-oceanic strait,
later called "Anian," connecting the Gulf of St. Lawrence with the North
Pacific Ocean. After the discovery of the Straits of Magellan and the
voyage across the Pacific, this belief becomes popularly current and
accepted.
1524
Gonzalo de Sandoval carries the following strange story to Mexico
from Colima : "California is represented as an island, rich in pearls
and gold. It was said to lie at a distance of ten days' journey from the
province of Ciguatan, and to be inhabited by women only." This account
is transmitted to the Emperor Charles V. of Spain by Hernando Cortes,
in the Carta Quarto, de Relacion.
CALIFORNIA CHRONOLOGY 115
1524
Francisco Pizarro, who had visited Peru in 1515, sets sail from
Panama, with his partner, Diego de Almagro, an adventurer like him-
self, and joining to himself Hernando de Luque, a priest possessed of
some money, ventures upon an expedition and conquest of this rich em-
pire of Peru ; and sailing southward from Panama, explores the southern
Pacific Coast. The expedition proves an inspiration for a later conquest.
1526
Francisco Pizarro, financed by Gaspar de Espinosa, mayor of Pan-
ama, undertakes a second expedition to Peru. Again he sails from the
city of Panama, southward along the Peruvian coast.
1531 to 1535
Francisco Pizarro enters upon and completes the conquest of Peru.
He defeats the Inca Atahualpa, and taking over the cities of Peru, with
their immense treasures, governs the same under the title of Adelantado.
He sent his brother, Hernando Pizarro, to Spain to obtain honors for
the conquistadores. Returning in 1535, with various honors, Francisco
Pizarro receives at the hands of Charles V. of Spain, the title of Marquis
and a grant of the Chilean region for Almagro. It is noteworthy that
during this conquest and occupation, he was accompanied by Hernando
de Soto, who later explores the Mississippi River.
1534
Fortuil Ximenez, a Spanish adventurer, and mutinous pilot of Cortes'
Expedition, discovers the eastern coast of Baja California, or Lower
California, at what was later known as Santa Cruz Bay. Here Ximenez
is killed.
1535
Hernando Cortes visits Baja California to found a colony, lands
where Ximenez had been killed, and gives to what he thought was an
island, the name of "Santa Cruz" (La Paz). Whether this Santa Cruz
of Cortes was an island at the mouth of the bay, or the mainland of
Baja California which he thought was a large island, is not known,
although it would seem that it might be the latter, as he says: "I arrived
at the land of Santa Cruz, I was in it and had complete knowledge of it,"
and he would not speak of so small a body as one of the islands at the
mouth of the bay as "land."
1536
Hernando Cortes crosses the Gulf of California and explores the
lower portion of Baja California and also the Pacific Coast of Mexico.
1536
Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, a Spanish adventurer in North Amer-
ica, and belonging to the expedition of Panfilo de Narvaez to Florida
116 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
in 1528, crosses the Mississippi River. He is the second European to
do this.
1536
Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca appears in the City of Mexico with
his wondrous tales of having traveled on foot three thousand miles from
Florida, of his wanderings for many years in unknown lands, now Texas
and Arkansas, and of the fabulous wealth, gold and precious stones, of
the "Seven Cities of Cibola." These wonderful tales inspired Cortes
and his military associates to the succeeding voyages and expeditions
of discovery and exploration which resulted in the discovery of California.
1537
The colony founded by Hernando Cortes on Lower .California at
Santa Cruz is a failure and abandoned.
1539
Fray Marcos de Niza, an Italian Missionary and explorer, under
the direction of Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, Governor of "New
Galicia," undertakes the exploration of northwestern Mexico and be-
comes the "Discoverer of Arizona." He is inspired by the wonderful
tales told by Cabeza de Vaca of the rich cities of Cibola of which the
latter had heard on his overland journey of three years previous.
Fray Marcos de Niza makes his wonderful journey into the un-
known wilds alone except for the negro Estevanico, who had been with
Cabeza de Vaca, and four Indians. He returns with even more won-
derful tales than had Cabeza de Vaca, as he had seen the cities from
a hill, being afraid to go nearer owing to an uprising in which Estevanico
was killed. The cities which were the lure of so many adventurous souls
were merely the terraced houses of the Pueblo Indians.
1539
Francisco de Ulloa, a Spanish soldier and explorer, and a lieutenant
of Cortes, having been with the latter in 1535, makes a Pacific coastwise
voyage and explores the Gulf of California, proving that California is
not an island. The first record of the name as applied to the peninsula
appears in the map in Preciado's diary of Ulloa's expedition.
1539
Francisco Preciado, a Franciscan padre and diarist of the expedition
of Francisco de Ulloa, employes the name "California" many times in his
account of Ulloa's expedition, which is the first time the name appears in
print as applying to an actual body of land. He discriminates between
"Isle of California" and "Land of Santa Cruz."
1539
Hernando de Soto, Spanish gentleman, explorer, and adventurer,
effects a landing at Tampa Bay and leads a remarkable expedition for
CALIFORNIA CHRONOLOGY 117
the next three years through Florida, Georgia, perhaps through Carolina,
Tennessee and Alabama, descending the Alabama River to Mobile Bay.
He turns northward, and crosses Mississippi and the river of the same
name, and explores almost to the Missouri River.
1540
Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, governor of New Galician, incited
by the wonderful tales of the "Seven Cities of Cibola" and of Quivira,
as told by Fray Marcos on his return, sets out on an expedition accom-
panied by 300 Spaniards and 800 Indians. During the next two years
the party explores from the Grand Canon of the Colorado across Arizona
and New Mexico, as far north as central Kansas and east to central
Texas. He explores the country as far north as the Moqui villages of
Tusayan, only to find that the wonderful cities of Cibola were the
communal houses of the Pueblo Indians.
1540
Hernando de Alarcon, a Spanish-American navigator, employed by
Don Antonio de Mendoza, viceroy of New Spain, is the first European
to touch California soil, and, entering the Gulf of California, ascends
the Colorado River for more than one hundred miles on an expedition
of discovery, co-operating with Coronado.
1540
Garcia Lopez de Cardenas, one of the captains under Coronado,
discovers the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
1541
Domingo del Castillo, one of Alarcon's pilots, re-explores the Gulf
of California and charts its shores ; he publishes a notable map of the
Gulf of California and the Colorado River which is recognized as both
accurate and authoritative. He describes California as a peninsula.
1541
Francisco Pizarro is killed by a band of conspirators under Juan
de Rada in vengeance for the previous execution of Almagro, his former
associate.
1542
Hernando de Soto, re-discovers the Mississippi River, which has a
direct bearing upon the subsequent Louisiana Purchase and the opening
of the Great West to the Pacific Coast.
1542
Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, a Portuguese navigator, is employed by
Pedro de Alvarado, governor of Guatemala, for a voyage under the flag
of Spain, to the north. Alvarado dies before the voyage is commenced,
118 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
but Cabrillo is confirmed by Mendoza. He sails from Xavidad to the
north and discovers the Bay of San Diego, thus becoming the true dis-
coverer of California, although Alarcon in his voyage up the Colorado
saw and probably landed on California soil. Cabrillo visits many of
the islands along the coast, among them Santa Cruz, Catalina and San
Clemente, and sails as far north as Point Conception. His important
discoveries are cut short by his death.
1542
Alonzo de Santa Cruz, the cosmographer royal of Charles V. of Spain,
publishes his map showing California as in the lower part insular and
in the upper part peninsular.
1542
Don Antonio de Mendoza, viceroy of New Spain, sends six ships
under Ruy Lopez de Villalobos, across the Pacific to "note the products
of the Western Islands," and Villalobos reaching them, re-christens them
Las Philippinas, the Philippine Islands, in honor of Philip II of Spain.
1542
A party of Spaniards visits the present site of Santa Fe, New
Mexico, and finds there an abandoned Indian pueblo.
1543
January 3rd, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, the true discoverer of Cali-
fornia and the first explorer of its coast, dies on the Island of San
Miguel and is probably buried there.
1543
Bartolome Ferrelo, a native of the Levant, and Cabrillo's chief pilot,
takes command of the expedition and voyages as far north as the forty-
second degree of latitude, to 'within four degrees of the mouth of the
Columbia River. He reports the new discoveries to Cortes.
1564
Miguel Lopez de Lagazpi is commissioned by Luis de Velasco, Vice-
roy of New Spain, to subdue the Philippine Islands, which he accomplishes
in the next seven years, founding the City of Manilla.
1568
Bernal Diaz del Castillo, who had served as a common soldier with
Hernando Cortes and had been in one hundred and nineteen battles, and
who had been present at the siege and capture of the City of Mexico in
1521, commences his notable history of the Spanish conquest.

Sir Francis Drake*, an English admiral and navigator, acquires
immense treasures as a freebooter in the Spanish harbors on the Pacific
Coast. Sails northward on a voyage of exploration and anchors in the
bay receiving his name, most likely the bay in the embrasure of Point
Reyes, also identical with Cermeno's Bay.
*This expedition of Drake was a rude awakening to the calm posses-
sion of the Spaniards. Not only because of the danger to the Philippine
galleons, but also because of the fate of the country over which Drake
had raised the flag of England.
1579
Sir Francis Drake orders religious services to be performed with the
Indians as witnesses in order to convey to their minds the idea of the
everlasting God who created heaven and earth and reigned above. This
is carried out on the shores of Drake's Bay, by the celebration of the
English forms of service and is the first Christian rite ever held on the
soil of California; being representative of the established church of Eng-
land as under Queen Elizabeth, it was undeniably a Protestant service.
The following is the quotation from the World Encompassed: "Our
generall, with his companie fell to prayer . In the time of which
prayer, singing psalmes and reading of certaine Chapters in the Bible,
they sate very attentively ."
1580
Sir Francis Drake returns to England, his ships laden with spoils,
and, having gained enduring glory by circumnavigating the globe (it
being the second time this had been achieved), he enters Plymouth Harbor,
England, having started therefrom in 1577 upon Magellan's earlier course,
though not then contemplating a periplus of the world.
1582
Bernal Diaz del Castillo has lodged in manuscript form as the result
of continuous application and prodigious labor for many years his remark-
able history entitled Historia Verdadera de la Conquista de la Nueva
Espana. This covers the explorations and conquests of the Spaniards
and contains many references to California, and the author states that it
was Cortes who first gave it the name. However, this history remains in
manuscript form for fifty years after this date.
1582
Francisco Lopez Gomara, secretary and chaplain of Cortes, pub-
lishes his Historia general de las Indias (La conquista de Mexico).
*NOTE It is interesting to note that several members of the California Society,
Sons of the Revolution, are decendants of Captain Francis Drake of Piscataway, New
Jersey, a grand-nephew of the navigator, viz: Charles Hanson Scott, Harry Kisller
Scott, Alexander McClurg Drake and Orra Eugene Monnette.

1584
Francisco de Gali, under command of Viceroy Pedro de Moya de
Contreras, starting from a port of New Spain, crosses the Pacific Ocean
and returns again to within two hundred leagues of the northern coast
of Alta California, and then traverses the coast southward, skirting the
islands on the California shores. On this voyage, he discovers the Japan
Current, thus making an easy return trip from the Philippine Islands to
Mexico. This had a very important bearing on the history of California.
As, owing to the length and dangers of the trip back from the Philippines
it was necessary to have a port of repairs for the galleons, before reach-
ing Mexico; and as the return by the Japan Current brought the galleons
along the shores of California, California thus becomes a commercial
necessity to Mexico. It was this that caused the King of Spain to desire
California, and not her own worth, as that was never known nor appre-
ciated by Mexico.
1586
Thomas Cavendish, second English circumnavigator of the globe,
and, like Drake, ja. freebooter, sails through the straits of Magellan, preys
upon Spanish vessels, and exploring the Pacific Coast of Mexico to Lower
California, returns to England. He thus performs the third periplus
of the globe.
1587
Pedro de Unamunu, a navigator of Macao, is sent by Viceroy Con-
treras on an exploring expedition to discover islands to be used as refit-
ting stations for the Philippine galleons. Unamunu does not find these
islands nor, indeed, any others, but discovers a bay which he called Puerto
de San Lucas, probably the Bay of Monterey, thus antedating the dis-
covery of Viscaino by fifteen years.
1588-1594
"The Silver Map of the World" appears, which is assumed to be
"A contemporary medallion commemorative of Drake's voyage (1577-80),"
and on this map is engraved "Californoa."
1591
Thomas Cavendish makes another voyage to the Pacific Coast, repeat-
ing his previous adventures and explorations.
1592
Juan de Fuca, a Greek navigator whose real name was Apostolos
Valerianos, in the employ of the Viceroy of Mexico, explores the Pacific
Coast and sails into the Bay which is now known as the Gulf of Georgia,
and having for twenty days steered through its intricate windings and
numerous islands, returns with a belief that the entrance to the long de-
sired passage into the Atlantic had been found; that is, "Anian." The
CALIFORNIA CHRONOLOGY 121
Straits into Puget Sound still bear his name. Juan de Fuca really claims
to have made the voyage completely through the Straits of Anian from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. This had a very great influence on the geog-
raphy of the time.
1595
Sebastian Rodriguez Cermeiio, sailing from the Philippines on a
voyage of discovery of islands to be used as ports of refuge for the Phil-
ippine galleons, is driven into a bay behind Point Reyes, latitude 38,
along the coast of California. This bay is probably the Francis Drake
Bay. The ship is wrecked, but some seventy escape in a viroco and later,
sailing down the coast, reach a "very large bay," latitude 37, which is
very likely Monterey. Thus is added another possible "discoverer" of
Monterey before Vizcaino.
1597
Gonzalo de Francia, boatswain of a ship under Sebastian Vizcaino,
visits Santa Cruz Bay and, later (1629) writes to the King? "We came
upon un puerto grande which was called El Puerto de la Paz, and an
island at the mouth of it which was called Island of Women, who were
without men, none passing over to them except in summer on rafts made
of reeds."
1598
Juan de Oiiate, a Spanish explorer, under commission of Viceroy,
Don Luis de Velasco, to colonize the district north of the river Rio
Grande, which was confirmed by the Viceroy, Gaspar de Zuniga y Acebo de
Monterey, sets out on an expedition with a large force of soldiers, Indians,
wagons and cattle, and crossing the Rio Grande, founds San Gabriel,
the first capital of New Mexico.
1598
Juan de Oiiate extends his explorations into the territory later com-
prising Arizona and traverses the edges of the desert and fertile mountain
valleys which had been discovered sixty years before.
1599
In revenge for the murder of a number of Spaniards, Onate decides
to attack the city of Acoma, the great stronghold of the Pueblo Indians,
standing on its almost impregnable cliffs. But the great cliffs were not
proof against cunning, and the Spaniards divided themselves in two parties,
one of which climbed the walls during the night and the other, making the
front attack the following morning, take the city. In all history there is
no more desperate battle, nor none fought at so dizzy a height. Of the
3000 Indians but six hundred were left and they were forced to leave
their homes and live in the valley.
122 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
1600
An excellent map is published by Tattonus in this year, showing
Lower California a peninsula. The early cartographers persisted in the
insular idea. From 1541 (the map of Castillo), to 1622 the peninsula
idea gained ground, but again from 1622 to 1746 a reaction toward the
idea of California being an island prevailed, even against the distinct proof
to the contrary in Kino's entradas.
1601
As a part of his conquest of New Mexico and of his further explora-
tions Onate makes an expedition into the country of the Quivira.
1601
Antonio de Herrera, Historian General of New Spain, publishes his
account of the Cortes expedition, and states that between 1535 and 1537,
the Spanish leader called the waste about him "California."
1602
Sebastian Vizcaino, a Spanish explorer, having become Chief Pilot
of New Spain and commissioned Captain-General for a second California
voyage by the Conde de Monterey, explores the west coast of Alta Cali-
fornia north to Cape Blanco de San Sebastian, latitude 42. Vizcaino
enters the great Bay, which had been previously visited by Ferrelo
Unamunu and Cermano and names it the Bay of Monterey in honor of
the Viceroy of Mexico.
In this expedition of Vizcaino, a vessel, under the command of Juan
Martin de Aguilar, becomes separated from the others in a storm and
Aguilar sails north on his own responsibility as far as Cape Blanco in
Oregon, latitude 43 or further. He sails up a river which receives the
name Aguilar upon current maps. To him is given the credit for the
discovery of the mouth of the Columbia River, although it is doubtful if
he went that far.
1603
Sebastian Vizcaino publishes maps showing the Port of Monterey
and the San Francisco Bay of Cermeno (Puerto de los Reyes*). This
latter bay is also identical with Sir Francis Drake's Bay.
1604
A second exploration of the territory now included in the State of
Arizona is made by Juan de Onate. On this exploration Onate followed
the Colorado River to its mouth, being the first European to accomplish
this.
1605
The settlement or pueblo of San Gabriel in New Mexico after con-
tinuing for seven years is abandoned. While it thereby loses its antiquity
as a permanently inhabited town, yet in later years the town of Chamita
is founded on the same site.
CALIFORNIA CHRONOLOGY 123
1605
The town of Santa Fe, now in the State of New Mexico, is estab-
lished by Juan de Oiiate on the site of at least one prehistoric pueblo and
is given the name of "La Cuidad Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco."
Onate enslaves the Indians of the neighborhood and proceeds to open up
extensive gold and silver mines. Santa Fe is the second oldest white
settlement in the United States, that of Saint Augustine, Florida, alone
exceeding it in point of age, and antedates the settlement at Jamestown
by two years and the landing of the Mayflower in Boston Harbor by
fifteen years.
1606
Enrico Martinez, a Mexican engineer and royal cosmographer of
Spain, constructs a noted canal in the Valley of Mexico, and publishes
the observations and surveys, made by Vizcaino in 1602, of Alta Cali-
fornia, in thirty-two charts, which are still preserved in the archives of
the Council of the Indies.
1609
King James I. of England makes his second grant of land on the
North American Continent, in Virginia, known as the Jamestown Charter,
being dated May 23, 1609, the seventh year of King James' reign; the
inland limit of this grant or charter was from sea to sea, that is from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, the southern boundary being thirty-four degrees,
North latitude, and the northern boundary thirty-eight degrees, North
latitude; and it is interesting to note that his northerly limit as finally
settled passes into the Pacific Ocean, just north of San Francisco and that
this southerly limit as finally settled passes about three miles south of
the city of Redlands, through the city of Riverside, and into the Pacific
Ocean at about Santa Monica, California, so that all of the Pacific Coast
line from Santa Monica to the Golden Gate was the westerly limit of this
Jamestown Grant, though never legally established or right of control
exercised.
1611
Sebastian Vizcaino explores the region about Japan in hopes of find-
ing the islands Ricas de Oro y Plata, islands of gold and silver. (The
Armenian Islands of Villalobos and Unamunu). The existence of these
mythical islands probably due to a folk-talk of Japan.
1622
Appears a map of "The World" by Kaspar Van Baerle, and on this
California is drawn as an island of great size and of rectangular form.
Other maps from this year (and in succeeding years to 1746) replace the
peninsula of California by an island.
1632
The manuscript history entitled "Historia Verdadera de la Conquista
de la Nueva Espana which had been written during the labors and studies
of a period of many years by Bernal Diaz del Castillo and which had been
124 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
hidden among the archives of a library in Spain for a period of fifty years
and long after his death, is at this date brought to light and published to
the world. It immediately secures an eminent position as historical evi-
dence and authority and brings more positive attention to the discoveries
and explorations of Hernando Cortes and the country then called "Cali-
fornia." This history of the conquest of New Spain refers to Cortes as
having discovered "an island" and that on that account Cortes was heartily
cursed by his followers a starving band.
1632
Francisco de Ortega names one of the islands in the lower gulf of
California Espiritu Santo. It was probably either this island or Cer-
ralvo to which the name California was first given.
(Note With subsequent historians, it is a matter of speculation as
to what land, whether Lower California itself, or some islands off the
coast, was first spoken of as "California." The quotation exactly from
Richman is: "It" the land to which the name California was first given
"may have been Cerralvo (the Santiago of Cortes), or Espiritu Santo,
(so named by Ortega in 1632), both at the mouth of the Bay of Santa
Cruz.")
1630, 1646-1647
Robert Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, an English Nobleman,
and historiographer, publishes his three-volume work, Arcano Del Mare,
and describes in II Mare d 'America Occidenale, the trips of the Galleons
from the Philippines making the northwest coast of America. He defines
the "Vermillion Sea" as beginning "at the Cape Santa Clara of Cali-
fornia," etc., and as so many others, calls California an island.
1647
Father Joannis Bisselius, a Jesuit, contributes to the geographical
literature of the age his Argonauticon Americanorum and proposes to
name all the regions of the eastern and northern part of North America
with the western kingdoms of Quivira and Tolmum, Estotilandia, and then
turning to the south, on the west coast, he begin with California. He
writes : "The kingdoms and regions better known to our navigation are
these: those which lie on the south sea, Zurium, in an oblique direction
from the west; in these after Quivira and the lands of the Tolmi, in the
same extent of coast, the regions of California are stretched out on the
sea toward the east (orient um versus^). The back of this land is shut in
by mountains from which flows into the ocean the river Farrellones. The
sides are surrounded by water in the manner of arms. On the right indeed,
which looks toward the south, the South Sea ; on the left however, toward
the north, it is bordered by a certain gulf running transversely up beyond
the middle of the length of California. Some call this the Vermillion Sea."
CALIFORNIA CHRONOLOGY 125
1652
George Horn, in his notable work, on the origin of the people of
America, traces the origin and migration of peoples by similarity of
words ; and writing of Corea thus curtly refers to the derivation of the
name California from the name of the Coreans: "Hi Coreani primo in
Californium veneruntj quae nomen suum a Caoli habei."
1653
Appears the notable work entitled Sir Francis Drake Revived, con-
taining an account of his four several voyages and his dangerous adven-
tures for gold and silver. It included the World Encompassed.
1669
Peter Heylyn publishes his famous Cosmopraghie in four books in
which he describes California as an island.
1682
Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, a young Frenchman of
Rouen, France, makes his famous exploring tour in the middle west, floats
down the Mississippi River to its mouth, takes possession of its vast basin
in the name of France, and calls it "Louisiana," in honor of the king.
This event bears direct relationship to subsequent Pacific Coast history.
1686
Captain Charles Swan, for the English, makes a voyage and enters
California waters, carrying as a pilot and histriographer William Dam-
pier, a navigator. Dampier eventually makes four circumnavigations of
the globe and publishes his adventures in a number of thrilling volumes.
1697
Beginning of the Jesuit Mission System in Baja or Lower California,
under Fathers Eusebio Francisco Kino, missionary and royal cosmogra-
pher, and Juan Maria de Salvatierra, assistente at Los Chimpas, as
visitador. First mission, Loreto de Concho, founded at Loreto, Lower
California, October 25th. In the succeeding seventy-two years, eighteen
missions are there located, all but one by the Jesuit order, and the famous
"Pious Fund of California" is established.
The Pious Fund had its origin in voluntary contributions in Mexico
for the maintenance of Jesuit missions in California. The members of
this company administered the fund until their expulsion from Spanish
territory in 1768, when the government assumed charge until 1840 when
it was turned over to the newly created Bishop of California, who admin-
istered it until 1842, when the government again assumed control. At
this time the government sold all the properties belonging to the fund,
agreeing to pay to the missions of California six per cent per annum on
126 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
the total selling price. This pledge has been the cause of a number of
international difficulties between the United States and Mexico since
California has been a part of the United States, but the question was
finally settled in 1902 at The Hague, and Mexico pays to the bishops and
archbishops of California $43,000 annually.
1697
William Dampier publishes A New Voyage Round the World,
describing the lands visited on his voyages and the inhabitants, their
customs, religions, etc., and makes reference to California which he also
depicts as an island.
1708-1711
In these years is made the voyage to the South Sea and around the
world by the ships Duke and Duchess of Bristol, commanded by Woods
Rogers. Edward Cooke was second captain on board the "Duchess" and
in 1712 publishes a journal of all the memorable transactions experienced
during the said voyage. William Dampier, who really projected the
exposition, went as pilot to the Duke.
1709
Woods Rogers in his visits to the Pacific waters rescues Alexander
Selkirk, the original of Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, from the Island
of Juan Fernandez, three hundred miles off the coast of Chile. Selkirk
is described as "A man in goatskins, who looked wilder than the first
owners of them."
1719
Captain George Shelvocke makes a voyage to the Pacific Coast. It
is very interesting that the sailor, Hatley, of this expedition was the
Ancient Mariner who shot the albatross of Coleridge's famous poem.
1728
Vitus Behring, a Danish navigator, employed by Peter the Great of
Russia, sails through the straits since bearing his name. By this voyage
the question whether or not Asia and North America were one continent
was indisputably settled.
1728
William Betagh publishes an account of a voyage round the world
and of a remarkable enterprise begun in the year 1719, chiefly to cruise
piratically on the Spaniards in the Great South Ocean.
1739
John Georgius Gemling publishes a rare tract which appears to have
been prepared as a thesis for a university or college degree, entitled
Disputatio geographica de vero Californiae situ et conditione. This is
a little known but important publication.
CALIFORNIA CHRONOLOGY 127
1741
The Russian government orders a second voyage to discover and
explore the islands west of Asia. North America is first sighted by
Alexei Chirikof, the commander of one of the two boats under Behring,
and which had become separated from its companion in a storm, at lati-
tude 55. He sails as far south as Vancouver's Island. He returns to
Siberia without again seeing Behring. Behring thirty-six hours later
sights Mt. St. Elias and takes on water on Kyak Island, latitude 59, 40',
and returns to Siberia without any further explorations.
1740-1744
George Anson, Esq., later Lord Anson, as commander in chief of a
squadron of his Majesty's ships, is sent upon an expedition to the South
Sea and makes a voyage round the world. The experiences of this expe-
dition were afterwards published from his papers and materials by Richard
Walter, M.A., who had been Chaplain of his Majesty's ship, the Centurion,
on that expedition. It made the most popular book of maritime adven-
ture of the eighteenth century.
1745
Russian sailors, coming from the north, descend upon and take posses-
sion of the Aleutian Islands.
1747-1756
As a result of the commercial war started in London over the Indian
trade and fur traffic, Arthur Dobbs had fitted out two vessels for this
purpose and if possible to open the route to the South Seas ; one of these
was named California and under command of Captain Francis Smith
the voyage is undertaken, of which a full account later appears. This
is the first vessel to bear the name California.
1757
Miguel Venegas, a Mexican priest, publishes in Spain his history
of California, Noticia de la California. This work has been translated
into English, Dutch, French and German, and has become the basis of
all later histories. In it Venegas says he thinks the word California
originated from two Latin words calida and fornax, meaning hot furnace,
though he doubts the Spanish adventurers "had so much learning." He
also suggests that the origin may be an Indian word, possibly kali forno,
meaning high hill.
As a supplementary note to the foregoing, the following authorities
with reference to the etymology of the name California should be included
although the year dates do not come within the limitations of this Chro-
nology :
(Professor Jules Marcou in 1876 publishes in the Annual Report of
the Chief of Engineers of the U. S. Army, his Notes upon the first dis-
128 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
coveries of California and the origin of its name. He ascribes to Cortes
the division of the Mexican region into "tierra frio, tierra templada, tierra
caliente, and tierra California, or cold regions, temperate regions, hot
regions, and regions like a furnace, from the two Latin words, calida and
fornax, hot furnace.
In 1893, an article appears in the San Francisco Chronicle by M. L.,
who states that the words cal y forno mean lime kiln in the language of
the Indians of Lower California, and that the author heard one of them
use it as such, and he believes that Ulloa, remembering the name Cali-
fornia as used in the Sergas de Esplandidn, gives the name to the penin-
sula.
Professor George Davidson, President of the Geographical Society
of the Pacific, in 1910 publishes his monograph on the origin and meaning
of the name California. He accepts the hypothesis of the Sergas de
Esplandidn, and gives as the etymological derivation of the word Cali-
fornia two Greek words, meaning beauty and bird.)
1767
By decree of the Spanish Cortes, the Jesuits are expelled from
Mexico and all Spanish territory; and their missions offered to the Fran-
ciscans. ,
1769
The Abbe, Jean Chappe D'Auteroche, voyages to California for an
observation of the passage of the planet Venus over the face of the sun,
June 3, 1769. This celestial phenomenon was visible only upon the coast
of California. Spain knew of the expedition and fearing the possible
results hastened to dispatch Don Gaspar de Portola upon his mission of
occupation and colonization of upper California. The Abbe Chappe
died while in Lower California and was there interred. Monsieur de
Cassini publishes an account in 1772.
1769
Conquest of Upper California is ordered and committed to Don Jose
Galvez, the Visitador General of Mexico and San Francisco de Croix,
Viceroy. Captain Gaspar de Portola is made civil and military com-
mander of the country, and Fray Junipero Serra, Father President of the
missions.
1769
Beginning of the civil and religious reduction of Alta California, by
an expedition under Governor Don Gaspar de Portola and Father Junipero
Serra.
1769
July llth, starting from San Diego of an expedition of sixty-seven
soldiers, friars and artisans northward to find the Bay of Monterey, the
real objective of the whole expedition, all under command of Portola.
In the company was Sergeant Jose Francisco de Ortega, who first dis-
covers San Francisco Bay, while out hunting.
CALIFORNIA CHRONOLOGY 129
1769
Founding of the first ( 1 ) Franciscan Mission at San Diego, July
16th; the full name of the mission was San Diego de Alcala. There has
been much discussion as to the origin of the name. The Bay was named
by Vizcaino simply San Diego, after his flagship, but the mission was
named by Serra after the saint whose day it was and not Santiago (San
Diego) de Compostella, patron saint of Spain, as has often been said.
1769
San Francisco Bay is given this name for the first time, although
still with the idea that it was the St. Francis Bay of Cermeno. A late
authority, Richman, says: "The truth is that until 1774, the year of the
Anza expedition, it had not so much as been settled just where the port of
San Francisco was, where the presidio and mission were to be founded.
What, however, was presumed was that the estuary of 1769 and 1770
(the present San Francisco Bay) was appurtenant to the old San Fran-
cisco Bay of Cermeno. On a map of 1772 the present San Francisco
Bay is called Estero de San Francisco. (Estuary of San Francisco, or
arm of the old bay of Cermeno.)
1770
Eusebio Francisco Kino, a missionary of Sonora, makes a final
entrada to the Colorado, following it as far north as 35 degrees, proves
practically that California is not a peninsula.
1770
Fray Francisco Garces, resident minister of San Xavier del Bac,
Arizona, makes the third of his entradas, and in this one, the most im-
portant, travels down the Rio Gila and the Colorado, nearly, if not quite
to the mouth of the latter.
1770
On May 24, in a second overland expedition to find Monterey, Por-
tola discovers and recognizes the bay. On the 31st, Captain Juan Perez
anchors his ship San Antonio in Monterey Bay and on July 9th the (2)
mission and presidio of San Carlos Borromeo de Monterey is founded,
the second mission and the first presidio, or fort. It becomes the first
capital of California.
Note Monterey was not a pueblo in the beginning, but a presidio.
There were three forms of local government set up in California, the
presidio, or military centers, the missions, which, were never very far from
the presidios, for the sake of protection, and the pueblo, or municipal
settlements with regular colonists. These pueblos had a regular govern-
ing body and alcalde. The colonists all had town-lots and a suerte, or field
for irrigation, beside the use of the public grazing pastures. These prop-
erties were not to be sold, nor could they be mortgaged. The settlers
were subsidized by freedom from taxation for a number of years, and in
Los Angeles each family received ten pesos a month. The only pueblos
130 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
founded directly in early California were Los Angeles and San Jose (that
is, from the very first, they had a municipal government. Monterey was
a presidio, or fort, it did not have a municipal government until 1826.)
1770(?)
This is the probable date of the publication of Miguel Costanso's
Diario historico de los viages de mar y tierra hecos al norte de la Cali-
fornia, although it is not positive, as the edition was suppressed in Mexico
for a number of years because it was thought the work gave too much
information concerning California into the hands of the English. The
work is of the utmost value, being the first book that relates exclusively
to California, and contains a most complete account of the Portola expedi-
tion to find the bay of Monterey.
1771
Mission of (2) San Carlos at Monterey is removed to the valley of
Carmelo.
1771
Founding of (3) Mission of San Antonio de Padua, at Los Robles,
July 14th.
1771
Founding of (4) Mission of San Gabriel, "The Queen of the Mis-
sions," in a valley of the Sierra Madre Mountains.
1772
Founding of (5) the Mission of San Louis Obispo de Tolosa, Sepj
tember 1st.
1774
Juan Bautista de Anza, commandante of the presidio of Tubac, in
Arizona, marches, in company with Fray Garces, across the Colorado
desert to San Gabriel and then north to Monterey, trying to open a prac-
tical overland trail from the California missions to Mexico, through
Arizona.
1775
Juan Manuel de Ayala, Lieutenant of the Royal Navy of Spain, and
his ship San Carlos, are the first to enter the harbor, Saint Francis Bay,
(Cermeno's and identical also with Drake's Bay). Ayala selects point
for fort and for mission, the Dolores mission.
1776
Anza makes a second journey from Tubac with colonists intended
for the presidio of San Francisco. Reaches San Francisco in company of
Pedro Font and Jose Moraga, and surveys the coast about the bay. Posi-
tions for the presidio and missions are decided on.
CALIFORNIA CHRONOLOGY 131
1776
Fray Garces makes his last great overland journey. Accompanies
Anza as far as Yuma, and then leaving the party crosses the Mojave
desert and reaches San Gabriel.
1776
James Cook makes the last of his four voyages under the English
flag. It is this fourth voyage that is of especial interest to California.
He sails by the way of the cape of Good Hope and discovers the Hawaiian
Islands. Reaches California at the altitude of Cape Mendicino and skirt-
ing the coast to the north discovers Nootka Sound, thus laying the foun-
dation for the Nootka controversy at a later date, and sails through the
Behring Straits as far north as Icy Cape. Cook dies on the voyage, but
on the return while at Canton, a discovery of great historic and commer-
cial value is made to the effect that the supposed valueless furs, which
had been traded for knives and trinkets with the Indians of the Nootka
Sound vicinity, brought fabulous prices in China. This laid the founda-
tion for the great fur trade of the future, and opened up so many and
such intricate commercial and diplomatic controversies that Cook's voyage
has come to be reckoned as most important in its historic bearing.
1776
Founding of the (6) Mission and Presidio of San Francisco de Asis,
by two Franciscan monks, Palou and Gambon. The presidio was founded
September 17th, but the mission, a league or so away from the presidio,
was not founded until October 4th, on a small creek called Dolores. Hence
the mission is commonly known as Dolores Mission. Fathers Palou and
Gambon assume charge of the mission.
1776
Founding of (7) the Mission of San Juan Capistrano, November 1st.
1777
Founding of (8) the Mission of Santa Clara, January 12th.
1777
The pueblo of San Jose de Guadalupe, the first purely civil settle-
ment in California, is founded by Gov. Felipe de Neve on the Rio de
Guadalupe. The colonists consisted of fourteen heads of families, 66
persons. They were granted house lots and planting lots and free use of
the public grazing fields, under charter of the pueblo system. The lands
could not be sold nor mortgaged. The colonists were free from taxes for a
number of years, and furnished a certain number of domestic animals and

1781
Founding on the Rio Porciuncula (Los Angeles River) of the pueblo
of Los Angeles under direction of the governor, Felipe de Neve. The
pueblo was called Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles, City
of our Lady, the Queen of the Angeles. At the beginning there were
eleven heads of families, forty-six persons all told. Los Angeles was the
second of the early pueblos. From 1835 Los Angeles vies with Monterey
for the honor of being the capital of the province.

August 28th, Father Junipero Serra dies at the age of seventy-one
years at his own Mission at San Carlos, in his loved valley of Carmelo.
For fifty-four years he had been a Franciscan priest, thirty-five of which
had been spent in missionary labors, fifteen of which had been spent in
California, during which nine missions were established and over five thou-
sand eight hundred Indian neophytes converted from heathenism to
Christianity.
1784
Father Francisco Palou, friend and biographer of Serra, becomes
Father President of the missions until 1786, when he retires to the promi-
nent position of father guardian of the College of San Fernando in Mexico.
Here he writes his Vida del Junipera Serra, and edits his Notices de la
Nueva California. The first becomes the standard for the life of Serra,
and the latter is the first book written in what is now California.

Jean Francois de Gallaup, Count de la Perouse, under commission
from the French government to explore the North Pacific coast of North
America for the purpose of finding the Straits of Anian (for this ghost

Francisco Palou publishes his famous and extensive history relating
to upper California. This includes a symbological portrait of the Vener-
able Padre Fray Junipero Serra, typifying his apostalic labors and re-

"his laborious and exemplary life is nothing but a beautiful field decked
with every class of flowers of excellent virtues."

John Meares, an Englishman, voyages to the northwest coast of
North America for the purpose of fur trading. Complications arise be-
tween him and the Spanish authorities, which assume large proportions,
almost embroiling the two countries in war. Meares's voyage has im-
portance out of proportion to its geographic value, for it was on his
discoveries that England, later, based her claims for the Oregon territory.
1790-1792
Captain Robert Gray, returning from his Pacific Coast voyage in
another sloop, named the "Columbia," makes the notworthy record of
being the first to carry the United States flag around the earth. Upon a
second voyage in this ship to the Pacific Coast, he discovers the Columbia
River, which he names after his vessel.

George Vancouver is commissioned by the King of England to ex-
plore the northwest coast of America and makes a remarkable voyage of
discovery to the north Pacific Ocean and round the world, in the Discovery,
sloop of war, and armed tender, Chatham. He carefully examines and
accurately surveys the northwestern coast, including the port San Fran-
cisco. A published work of this voyage, in 1798, is superior to any of its
kind and constitutes the chiefest source of authority of that period.

his death is unknown.
1796
Arrival in Monterey of the Boston, the first American trading vessel
to visit California. From this time begins a regular system of contraband
trade between the Americans and the Californians, more or less connived
at by the local officials. The Yankee traders exchanged manufactured
goods for otter skins (which were exchanged again in China for teas,
silks, etc.). The trade was of necessity contraband as the Mexican gov-
ernment would not, at this time, permit the Californians to trade with any
one but the home country.

the name was derived from the natives ; as the missionaries who have since
resided among the Californians, have not at any time heard of such being
applied to any port, bay, or part of the country. Some have conjectured
that on account of the heat of the weather, Cortes formed the name Cali-
fornia, from the Latin words calida and fornax."

The Russian settlement is eventually founded at Bodega Bay, and

a fort. A lively trade with California was kept up for the support of the
colony at Sitka, and with Europe and Asia in the export of skins. But in
the end the otter and seal become scarce and the fort was disposed of to
John Augustus Sutter.
1813
The Spanish Cortes passes a decree looking toward the secularization
of the missions. From the beginning the idea had been that the mission
system was only a temporary expedient for the civilization of the natives,
and was supposed to last but ten years. This time was extended as it
was seen to be too short. But there began to grow a feeling of dissatis-
faction with the system as it was felt the Indians were not trained in
independence and in the knowledge of citizenship. The government decided
that the missions should be secularized, that is the Indians were to receive
their lands to use individually the missions had only ostensibly been
keepers of the lands for the rightful owners, the Indians. The religious
work was to be turned over to parish priests, and the missionaries were
to seek new fields. The Indians were to be gathered into pueblos to learn
the duties of self government and self-support. This plan was not carried
out for twenty years, though it came up again and again in the inter-
vening years. This scheme of secularizing the California missions
amounted in effect to government confiscation.

1829
Captain James P. Arthur visits California in the Brookline and
makes the claim to have been the first to raise the United States flag in
California. This was, of course, a crude representation of the emblem.
"Arthur and his little party were sent ashore at San Diego to cure
hides. They had a barn-like structure of wood, provided by the ship's
carpenter, which answered the purpose of storehouse, curing shop, and
residence. The life was lonesome enough. Upon the wide expanse of
the Pacific they occasionally discerned a distant ship. Somtimes a vessel
sailed near the lower offing. It was thus that the idea of preparing and
raising a flag, for the purpose of attracting attention, occurred to them.
The flag was manufactured from some shirts and Captain Arthur writes,
with the just accuracy of a historian, that Mr. Greene's calico shirt fur-
nished the blue, while he furnished the red and white. It was completed
and raised on a Sunday, on the occasion of the arrival of the schooner,
Washington, Captain Thompson of the Sandwich Islands, but sailing un-
der the American flag." So writes honest Captain Arthur: "These men
raised our national ensign, not in bravado, nor for war and conquest, but
as honest men to show that they were American citizens and wanted
company."

principles the very principles which made the American occupation so
possible later against the arbitrary methods and militarism of the gover-
nor, as shown principally in his refusal to convene the disputacion. For
the first time in the history of California, blood is shed between men of
Spanish extraction in a bout on the outskirts of Los Angeles, in which
Captain Romualdo Pacheco and Avila were killed, and the Governor him-
self severely wounded. Pablo de Fortilla, Commandante at San Diego,
participates.

1833
Further seculariaztion of the missions by Mexican authority is under-
taken as well as confiscation of their property. The action really went
into effect then although it was not fully consummated until 1845.
Under rules known as Prevenciones de Emancipacion the missions
are secularized. All Indians, Christians for twelve years, all married
men and widowers with families, and all such as are competent to make a
livelihood, are gathered together in pueblos and initiated in the laws of
self-government. To each family is granted house-lots, planting lots and
pasture lands, and live stock. The mission churches are turned over to
the parish clergy and the other properties are sold.

to the Mexican War, San Diego is governed as part of the sub-prefecture
of Los Angeles.
1835
Near the best anchorage and three miles northeast of the Mission, a
small trading village, Yerba Buena, is founded on San Francisco Bay,
and it is to this settlement rather than to the presidio of San Francisco
or the mission of Dolores that must be given the origin of the present city
of San Francisco.
1836
A new revolution is started in California against existing authority.
This was decidedly the outcome of the same growing spirit of democracy
and liberalism as shown under the Victoria revolt. It is a revolt by the
younger California, the spirit of liberalism and democracy, under Juan
Bautista Alvarado, a young clerk of the customs, against the spirit of
centralization and despotism of the Mexican government as evinced in
the new constitution, in which all departments of the government, legis-
lative, executive, and judicial were practically in the hands of the central
CALIFORNIA CHRONOLOGY 141
executive in Mexico. California was reduced to a department of that
government and could not be considered as exercising the functions of a
state. However, this revolt is successful and California is created a
separate and independent government with Alvarado as governor.

One of the central figures in the Revolution of 1836, is Isaac Graham,
who had been a Tennessee hunter, and who organizes what became known
as the Kentucky riflemen ; this adventurous character is described as wild,
reckless, a crack shot, and a hater of Mexicans. Operating from his
distillery at San Juan, he is aided in his organizing of the riflemen by
William R. Garner and John Coppinger, both Englishmen, and Louis
Pombert, a Frenchman, of some prominence in early California affairs, is
made sergeant, that is, next in command to Graham.

Arrival of Eugene Duflot de Mofras, a Frenchman, commissioned by
his government to make a scientific exploration and report on Oregon and
the Californias. M. de Mofras was assisted in every way bv both the
secular and religious authorities of California, and he was given access
to all the documentary material of the province, so it was possible for him
to make a more complete report on the affairs of the country than could
any of the other narrators. From the mass of material he had the
literary judgment to arrange and select a work of marked ability, dis-
crimination and historic value.
1840
Threatened uprising of the foreign element known as the Graham
Trouble. Forty-six suspects, English and Americans, are captured and

Sir James Douglas, a Scotchman, and representative of the Hudson's
Bay Company of London, visits California and records the events of his
visit in a diary or journal, which later receives the title of Douglas'
Voyage from the Columbia to California. With the Salinas and Santa
Clara valleys the English visitor was so delighted that he was moved to
pronounce California "a country in many respects unrivalled by any other
part of the globe."
1841
Captain John Augustus Sutter builds a fort, which he calls "New
Helvetia," which became headquarters for friendly Indians, white trap-
pers and early travelers. "Sutter's Fort," as it was popularly called, was
in the natural line of travel both from the Oregon country and from the
east, and Sutter being an exceedingly hospitable person, his place became
the rendezvous and the Mecca for all the overland travelers. Many of
them remained there under Sutter's employ and many went to other places.

a small band of Americans, captures the Mexican General Mariano
Guadalupe Vallejo and his aides. The new republic lasts twenty-six days.
1846
The famous scout, Kit Carson, appears with General Fremont, and
the Haros and Berreyesa are killed.
There are so many and such contradictory stories concerning the
murder of the Haro brothers that the real facts are not definitely known.
At the very best, the responsibility of the death of the men, justly or
unjustly, must rest with Fremont and not with Carson. This has been
one of the scandals of the Fremont Expedition. The most violent sup-
porters of Fremont do not deny that the men were killed without knowing
anything of their guilt or innocence. It was reported that they were
killed in revenge for the murder of two Americans, Cowie and Fowler.
144 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
There was also a story circulated that the men had deliberately permitted
themselves to be captured with false orders in their boots purporting to
announce an attack on Sonoma by the Californians, for the purpose of
deflecting the American troops to the protection of Sonoma, and thus per-
mit the closely pressed Californians to escape.

Los Angeles is easily captured. Stockton and Fremont enter the
city August 13th without opposition; Pico and Castro have fled to Mexico;
and Lieutenant Archibald H. Gillespie is placed in command of the south

law. Trouble arises through, possibly, a too trict interpretation of his
orders, and Gillespie finds himself surrounded. He capitulates and is
allowed to retreat with the honors of war.
The Californians who identify themselves with this revolt are Captain
Jose Maria Flores, Jose Antonio Carrillo, Andres Pico, and Serbulo

But he also says he is not sure of the date. However, a man named Bigler,
who kept a diary, has the date the twenty-fourth, and as he was on the
spot at the time, most likely is correct.

During this year the numerous and mighty caravans of horses, wagons,
cattle, men, women and children make their devious and dangerous way
across the overland trail. This is the coming of the "Argonauts," cele-
brated in Californian history as the "Forty-Niners."
1849
This year marks two important developments: (a) The growth of
population during this period. In 1845, the estimated census was 18,000,
including Indians, while in 1850 it was estimated at 150,000. (b) The
struggle for order, for this was not a period of complete recklessness.
There were many reckless people, many criminals, and much to try the
temper of the most conservative, but still there arose and grew a steady
feeling for law and order that had its final outcome in the convention
and constitution.
1849
A constitutional convention is organized at Monterey, September 1st.
The Californians, in framing a State Constitution, which is signed October
13th, exclude slavery from the soil by a unanimous vote. Under it Peter
H. Burnett is elected Governor, and the new Legislature chooses John C.
Fremont and William M. Gwin as United States senators. San Jose is
made the capital of the State. The great seal of the State is designed by
Major Robert Selden Garnett, is presented to convention by Caleb Lyon,
and is engraved by Albrecht Kuner in changed form. Hittell, an eminent
authority, says: "The constitution, notwithstanding its haste, was one
of the best, if not the best, of the thirty-one state constitutions in effect
at the time. Though nearly every portion was copied from some other
instrument, there was a rare choice and combination." By the terms of
the constitution, slavery was unanimously voted down ; the boundary was
defined ; provisions were made for the establishment of public schools ; and
the question of taxation was settled.
1849
The necessity of an interior city being felt, and the site of Sutter's
Fort being inadequate, a new town-site was laid out below the fort. Town
lots were sold and Sacramento had its beginning. In January, 1849, the
first frame house was built.
1850
California admitted to the Union September 9th. California is at
last admitted after months of waiting and dilatory action on the part of
Congress. She comes in a free and sovereign state with her own consti-
tution, governor and legislature, the only state in the Union with this
distinction.

CALIFORNIA IN 1851
Lassons Ranch, California,
March 12, 1851.
Dear Brother:
I hardly know in what way to begin to apologize for my neglect in
not having written you for so long a time. In fact I have no good reasons
unless I claim that I have not received any answer to the one (& only one)
that I wrote you near a year since, but whether you wrote me or not I
have no good reasons for not troubling you occasionally & I hope & trust
that you will let me occasionally hear from you. I am now stopping on
Lassons Ranch, it is situated on the most northerly route or road from the
States on the Sacramento River about 100 miles above Sacramento City
and about 250 miles from San Francisco. I am this season engaged in
farming and gardening. Shall cultivate probably from 80 to 100 acres,
the soil is excellent & is easily cultivated, in fact it is almost impossible to
raise vegetables especially without irrigation. Frank, Sheldon & myself
last season were engaged jointly in mineing on Feather River, principally
in damming and draining the beds of the River & with us as it was with
all others who were operating upon that Stream it proved an entire failure,
we not only lost our whole summers work but all that we had previously
made. Since which time Frank has been stopping in Sacramento City,
keeping a Restaurant and doing tolerably well. Sheldon is on a Steam
Boat, gets good wages & lays up his money & as for myself after leaving
Feather River I came down to Sacramento City with the intention of going
into business, but after remaining there a short time the Cholera broke
out and from its severity, I thought it most prudent to leave and again I
went to mineing at which I continued until the middle of December, but for
the want of water, I was compelled to leave the location we had selected,
as we have had no rains this winter to raise the water in the ravines. We
had flung up something like 3000 buckets of earth, which yet remains to
wash when the rains do come if ever, as we have had no rains since the
first week in January & then but very little. An old acquaintance and
friend of mine had bought this Ranch, & persuaded me to come up &
cultivate it. It contains 36 square miles of sand bars, 12 miles on the
Sacramento River & extends back 3 miles, a large majority of it is excel-
lent sand and it has the reputation of being one of the best Ranches in
California. They have discovered a new pass in the Sierra Nevada Moun-
tains, in fact, a regular sink or rent in the mountains, being an ex-
cellent road without a single eminence in passing the mountains, It
has also another advantage, about 30 miles of Desert and good wa-
ter on the Desert. After passing the Sierra Nevada Range you enter
what is termed the Feather River Meadows, a valley on the North
Fork of the Feather River covered with the most luxuriant growth of
clover and other grasses, in fact, these valleys are the best pastures I ever
saw in any country they follow this valley to within a short distance of
150 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
the Sacramento Valley, it is believed this route is far preferable to any
of the others heretofore travelled, & if the Emigration should take it it
will make a ready sale for all of our effects, as we are right at the termi-
nation of the road & of course the greater the demand the better the
prices. Anyhow, I am and shall be here this Season, & hope I may meet
with better success than I did the last. I probably shall not do any worse.
I can write you no news about California, it is an old story, and as the
papers in the States give you all that is new or interesting, you of course
are better posted in California news than I am. I will say this much for
California, that the climate I do consider delightful, but it never can be an
agricultural country or not so to any extent. Vegetation where the soil
is moist grows beyond anything I ever saw, but the amount of such sand
is limited & stock & Gold Digging will be the principal production. Gold
I think will be found here for ages but not in the quantities it has here-
tofore. Although for years it will pay a miner reasonable wages when the
expenses of living and operating are reduced to a reasonable standard.
Remember me to your wife & ch 1 was going to say children but
put it Charley. Also to all our folks, Gilbert &c, Uncle Shull &c, &c.
Do write me soon and direct to this Ranch as we are to have a Post Office
here after the first of April & if I was a Whig I might be P. M. I suppose,
which would be a very lucrative office here as probably the office will not
take in fifty dollars a year. I am in receipt of letters from home monthly.
I received one a few days ago from my wife. My family were at the time
she wrote (Dec.) in good health, but wanted me home, but I must try
California a little longer, with the hope that I may yet get paid for coming.

The Virginia Charter
and the
Settlement of Jamestown,
Virginia
Mr. Willard Atherton Nichols, one of the honored members of this
Society, has recently prepared a monograph upon the Virginia Charter
and the Settlement of Jamestown, Virginia, which emphasizes a very im-
portant and interesting fact in connection with early California history.
The suggestion that a large portion of the present State of California was
in fact included within the very liberal limitations of the Virginia Char-
ter, and that, inferentially, it had the effect of bringing the territory of
California under the possible control and possessory right of Virginia,
though never actually established or exercised, is so very vital and instruc-
tive that the Publication Committee has thought it the due of Mr. Nichols
to reprint his contribution to California history in this publication. The
article is so well written and so important that it will be widely read and
discussed and, therefore, will certainly enhance the value of this book. As
a supplementary article to "California Chronology" appearing in the pre-
ceding pages, it will also bear a close relation of both interest and instruction.
EDITOR.
Much has been written upon these subjects and the archives relating
to them are by no means scanty.
In the main, the histories of these important events cannot be fairly
criticized, although some writers have resorted to special pleading to
prove a claim of the leadership for these incidents in the remarkable
development in religious and civil liberty, as well as in the social and
material prosperity, of this country.
The charter, or charters, for there were two of them, are interesting
documents and are well worth studying, but their study is not the purpose
of this paper. The writer only desires, in the main, to call attention to
their territorial scope, and to the realization of their aim in that direction.
James I followed Elizabeth in her readiness to grant land that did
not belong to the English crown, especially if it was particularly valued
by the Pope of Rome, but it is true that both of these monarchs provided
in their grants that no claims should be made upon territory already in
the possession of any Christian prince.
The limit inland from the Atlantic coast line in the first charter,
dated April 10, 1606, was 100 English miles; but in the second charter,
dated May 23, 1609, the seventh year of James's reign, the inland limit
was from sea to sea, from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The writer has not found any definite reason given for this remark-
able change in the western boundary. Some writers consider that it was
made under a misapprehension as to the great extent of territory it
covered. They reason that the width of the continent was not known nor
even conceived at that time, but that the idea was that it was not much
154 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
farther from sea to sea at that point than it is in Mexico and Central
America, regions comparatively well known at that period through the
Spanish explorations from ocean to ocean. It is undoubtedly true that
explorers even in 1609, had not given up the hope of discovering a water
passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific along the north Atlantic coast,
and many explorations of tidal rivers were made, particularly on the
Atlantic side, with this in view. In 1607, the Chickahominy was explored
for that purpose, and so was the Hudson River in 1609 by Hudson.
That this change was made for the purpose of including much terri-
tory to the west which common report had marked as abounding in gold
and precious stones the land of "The City of Gold," etc. seems credible;
much more so than that King James, the pedant and patron of learning,
had no idea of the vast extent of the continent to the westward. This orig-
inal limit of 100 miles must have been very unsatisfactory, as eager ex-
plorers under the first charter had conclusively settled that there was no
"El Dorado" within that limit at least.
The early rumors of the wonderful riches of Cibola sent to the Spanish
court, and the journey of Coronado undertaken to discover it, with his
reports to the Spanish King of its unsatisfying results and of the visit of his
assistant, Friar Marcos to Quivira, farther to the north on the same com-
paratively fruitless search, must have been well known to the court of
James.
Their latitude, that of Cibola a little north of 34 degrees North and of
Quivira about 40 degrees North latitude were also reported and were of
record.
Then again, a map of North and South America had been published
in Belgium by Wytfliet in 1597, showing the Pacific coast on the 34th
degree of North latitude to be about 83 degrees west of the Atlantic coast
on the same latitude, or a width of continent of at least 4400 miles. We
now know that this distance is from about 120 degrees west of Greenwich
to about 76 degrees and 30 minutes west, equivalent to about 2300 miles.
Wytfliet's map gives the width along the 45th degree of North latitude as
about 4800 miles, while now it is known to be about 3000 miles. The
recorded opinion of some scientific men of the time shows a conception of
the width of the continent to have been greater rather than less than the
reality.
It therefore seems to the writer that King James knew full well the
wonderful area he was granting, and that he, with many others, including
Coronado and the Spanish explorers, considered the mineral riches of the
country by no means to be despised, although not up to the fabled standard,
as far as explored.
Here we find the motive of the extension of the charter limit the
common one in early exploration the lure of gold.
In this connection, we can here call attention to the characteristic
tenacity of purpose in the Anglo-Saxon race. Three hundred years ago
claim was laid to this strip of territory, extending from 34 degrees North
latitude to 45 degrees North latitude and from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Spain and France in time entrenched themselves strongly within these
limits in the west, but American enterprise and capacity for pioneer work
of the enduring kind, gradually brought about the successful and undis-
puted ownership by people of English descent of all the territory claimed
by King James the First of England. Its southern limit takes in Cibola
the famed, and Quivira the other goal of the gold seekers is certainly
well within its northern boundary, although its exact location is a matter
of conjecture.
That it took a long extended and patient waiting and much expendi-
ture of lives and money to realize this claim as named in the early charters,
is well known. The results of the early French-Indian Wars made it
possible for England in 1783 to cede to the United States of America, its
Anglo-Saxon offshoot, this territory from the Atlantic to the Mississippi.
THE VIRGINIA CHARTER 155
The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 added almost as much. The annexation
of Texas caused the Mexican War which resulted in the United States secur-
ing by treaty of peace in 1848, the remainder to the Pacific ocean, this
last addition completing the chain, and only then taking in by far the
greater part of Arizona and New Mexico, the area covering the land of
golden promise to Coronado and of the avaricious hope of King James.
In 1848, the Anglo-Saxon claim of 1609 had been made good. It is
of local interest to know that we of Redlands and Los Angeles are tied by
land boundaries to the Jamestown Colony founded in 1607, for 34 degrees
North latitude, the southerly limit of the grant of 1609, passes about three
miles south of Redlands, through the city of Riverside, and into the Pacific
ocean at about Santa Monica. Its northerly limit, as finally settled 38
degrees North latitude, passes into the Pacific ocean just north of San
Francisco, so our coast line, from Santa Monica to the Golden Gate, was
the westerly limit of the Jamestown Colonial possessions of record.
King James, no less than the thrifty Elizabeth, kept the mercantile
side of his colonial enterprises well in mind, although perhaps not so
clearly expressed in the preambles to his charters, as that part in the
charters in question stating that their chief motive was "the advancement
of the Divine glory by bringing the Indians and savages resident in those
parts to human civility and a settled and a quiet government." Poor
Indians, poor savages, one can only exclaim upon reading the history of the
oppression ajid practical extermination that went with the bringing of them
to "human civility" in the parts contained within the limits of the James-
town grants, and indeed within the limits of the entire grant extending
from 34 to 45 degrees North latitude.
By this grant or charter, authority was given to search for mines,
paying the King one-fifth of all gold and silver and one-fifteenth of all
copper; to coin money; to invite and carry over adventurers; to repel
Intruders; to levy duties for their own use during 21 years; and to export
goods from England free of all imposts for 7 years. Lands in the Colony
were to be held of the King, and colonists and their children were to have
all the rights of the native born Englishmen.
A few months after the granting of the charter, James issued instruc-
tions for the government of Virginia, in which he appointed a Council
and established the Church of England as the authorized form of worship.
One of the first undertakings of the settlers, and that within eight
days of their arrival, was an expedition to the Falls of the James River
(Richmond), to search for a gold mine reported to be there. At one time
in 1608, some glittering bits of yellow mica found in a small stream near
Jamestown, were mistaken for gold dust and a veritable gold rush set in,
everything being neglected for the time being for it; and a cargo of the
worthless stuff was shipped to the Company in England.
In these days of magazine filling, there has been much written to
controvert well established opinions as to the relative importance of certain
historical facts; upon the lack of justification of certain New England
methods of protesting against taxation without representation; upon the
unreasonableness of the War of the Revolution the Loyalists being the
true patriots; upon the selfish and ignoble motives governing Washington
and those who framed our Constitution, etc., etc.; and claiming as a
logical deduction, from their criticisms, that it would have been much
better for the country if the rebels of 1775 had been overpowered and
hung. It is not worth our time to refute such foolish theories. But when
it comes to an argument to belittle the importance to the New World, of
the settlement at Plymouth, by an attempt to prove that our prosperity
and remarkable advancement in free government come from Jamestown
rather than from Plymouth and New England, because of the fact that the
settlement of Jamestown preceded Plymouth by 13 years, it does seem
germane to this paper to point out some differences between Jamestown
and Plymouth, and to claim for the latter the credit, for "our character-
156 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
istic institutions," of the vast territory embraced by King James's grants
of 1606 and 1609.
Dean Hodges is reported to have said in a paper upon the subject a
few months ago in Boston, "It is commonly taken for granted among in-
telligent people that our characteristic institutions and especially our
liberties, civil and religious, began at Plymouth. As a matter of historical
fact, they began a dozen years before at Jamestown"; Alexander Brown
says of the founding of Jamestown, "If the enterprise had then resulted in
failure, the United States would not now be in existence."
It is true that Jamestown was settled first; it did hold the first regular
church services, and it did have the first representative assembly for
political affairs, all under royal permission and control. But all that did
not mean worship of God according to the dictates of one's conscience, nor
did it mean freedom in self government. These came from Plymouth and
New England, from their dissenting forms of worship and from the town
meetings. Prom Jamestown would have come established church and
state, concentration of land holdings and a privileged class. From Ply-
mouth have come freedom of public worship, small land holdings and a
representative democratic government.
It may be argued that early Congregationalism in New England was
as far from free worship as was the rule of the established Church of Eng-
land. This was probably true to a great degree in the beginning, for the
early immigrants in New England came for that very freedom none
others need have come. The Pilgrims sought this freedom first in Holland,
but on account of their discontent at being in a foreign land, and of having
their children under foreign influences, however kind and genial, in short
this land not being English, they decided to remove to the New World,
already well known to them by the repeated attempts of English people to
establish colonies there, where in unoccupied land they could form con-
ditions to suit themselves. The Pilgrims took with them to Plymouth, but
more particularly did those of the Massachusetts Bay Colony who followed
them, their share of the religious intolerance of the age. Jamestown was
by no means free from it.
The first article in the regulations for colonies settling under these
Jamestown grants was that religious service shall "be that now preferred
and established within our realms of England." In 1642, three congre-
gational ministers came from Boston to Virginia to disseminate their
doctrines. Their stay was but short, for by enactment of the Assembly,
all ministers other than those of the Church of England, were compelled
to leave the Colony.
In 1648, the dissenters among the colonists in Virginia had increased
to 118 in number, and they were punished for their dissent by imprison-
ment and banishment, and all opposition to the established church was
decisively quelled.
The character of the colonists coming to Jamestown and then to Vir-
ginia, and to Plymouth and later to New England, were entirely different.
To Jamestown came at first only men, some of them leaders of the noble
class, so-called, but by far the greater part of them adventurers in the
modern sense of the word, many of a roving disposition gained by partic-
ipating as soldiers in the foreign wars then just closed, and who were
from this disposition a cause of worry and trouble to the home govern-
ment;; others who had not been unacquainted, as evil doers, with the
interior of English prisons, who also left their country for the country's
good; and all governed, naturally, by a desire to live as easily as possible.
To Plymouth came men with their families, some indeed of armigerous
descent, but the greater part of them merchants, artisans and farmers, all
earnest sturdy men who sought not ease nor personal comfort, but men
eager for work and for chances for overcoming obstacles. They welcomed
the severity of the climate and the untractableness of the soil. They were
free from the trammels of the Established Church; what else mattered to
THE VIRGINIA CHARTER 157
them? At the end of their first year, to give thanks to God for the results,
scanty indeed, of their attempts at self-support, the first Thanksgiving
Day service was held, and, as Fiske says, "then began New England."
The mild climate of Jamestown and the large area of productive and
easily worked soil in its vicinity, made life and work easier and more
attractive to such people as came over to them.
In fact although it is claimed by some that this settlement saved
America to the English by its permanency, by its contiued existence for
thirteen years before the Pilgrims came, it possibly would not have sur-
vived had not its leaders, undoubtedly from the example of the Plymouth
Colony, seen before it was too late, the necessity of encouraging the mak-
ing of homes by marrying its men and by bringing in families; and they
took action along these lines.
The Jamestown Colony was primarily a trade and business adventure.
The settlement of Plymouth was essentially an ethical movement. The
Pilgrims did have to connect themselves in a business way with a com-
mercial Company in England to obtain the means of emigrating to
America. They did have to agree to repay these advances, and next to
self-support which was of the most frugal kind, their efforts were steadily
directed to pay back the loans, which was speedily done, first by notes
given by the leaders to expedite the payment of this debt, which were
afterwards taken up by the settlers. Within a few years, by 1633, in fact,
they were as independent in estate as they were in person. Notwithstand-
ing the salubrity of the climate and the productiveness of the soil, the
advances of the Company in London which financed the Jamestown settle-
ment, were never repaid in full and this Company, after several years,
wound up its affairs with a substantial loss.
Tobacco was the first paying crop of the Jamestown Colony, and upon
this crop the Colony prospered greatly until over-production brought
financial disaster. At the first meeting of the Assembly, or House of
Burgesses, held in the chancel of the church in Jamestown on July 30,
1619, tobacco was authorized as currency, at three shillings for the best
per pound, and at eighteen pence for the second quality. The clergy was
paid by a levy of tobacco, and in the autumn of 1621, when the practice
began, under the auspices of the government, of shipping young women of
respectability and above reproach, for wives for the Colonists, above re-
ferred to, the latter were obliged by law to pay 120 pounds of tobacco as
the cost of transportation of their government supplied wives, subse-
quently increased to 150 pounds.
The Pilgrims and Puritans bartered with food-stuffs, so far as the
writer has learned.
About the last of August, 1619, a Dutch man-of-war brought in and
sold to the Jamestown settlers, twenty negroes, thus introducing slavery
into this country. With this addition to the laboring force, of slaves,
largely increased in numbers annually by importation and by birth, the
plantation system of living became general, and the close communion of
towns, as in New England, became impossible. This led the Virginia
Colony away from democracy to a government by a few large proprietors.
Slavery never got a firm foothold in New England, and the small headway
it had made was effectually stamped out by the last of the seventeenth
century through the efforts of the Quakers of Rhode Island, and of the
other New England Colonies.
It is possible that the large use and ownership of slaves made life a
little less material to the Southern planter in time, and that the close
hard struggle for existence of the Northern citizen, gave also in time, to
the latter, a commercial money-making reputation, that they would not
have developed under easier conditions of life, but this struggle also made
more hardy, sturdy men than the other system, men who soon felt confined
by the limits of New England, and who then swarmed to the West to com-
158 SOCIETY, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION
plete the winning of the territory so grandly given to America by King
James.
Before the war Southerners, as a rule, kept at home, and rarely took
any part in the upbuilding of the West, or of the East for that matter,
except so far as their influence was felt in legislative halls at home oj at
the seat of the general government. From the very beginning of our
Colonial history, northern men with their families settled in considerable
numbers in the southern colonies and states, as well as in much larger
and controlling numbers in the West.
Today all this is changed. Slavery has gone and with it the exclusive
plantation life. Enterprising southern men are found as residents in all
the large towns and centers of activity in the land, and participating most
effectively in. all the interests, civil, business and religious, of the commu-
nity. The descendants of Jamestown and of Plymouth are now working
as one people in all sections of our great country, and along the same
lines, to advance civilization.
I will close with an extract from a paper by Rev. Morton Dexter of
Boston, comparing Plymouth with Jamestown.
"Suppose that William Brewster and Captain John Smith * * *
could appear among us this afternoon and address us * * *. Suppose
them to be well informed concerning the history of our country and the
wonderful fruition of the little seeds which they helped to plant * * *.
And if Brewster should turn to Smith and say, "Which colony, Captain,
yours or mine, has had the larger influence in promoting this fortunate
conditions of things?" Smith was so intelligent and fair-minded a man
that I believe he would reply, "Well, Elder, Jamestown must not be be-
littled. It has done much and has done it will. But on the whole I will
admit that Plymouth has done the most and the best."

dates, places, services, etc., furnished it. so that any future issue or
enlargement of this work may be more complete. It will also be
glad to be advised of any errors or omissions herein.
The lineages and records of services presented herewith com-
prise the important and material portion of this work.
Those based upon the records of this Society have been care-
fully and painstakingly digested from the original applications, and
records supplemental thereof, one file with it.
The indexes appearing here have been carefully compiled, and
are presented for the purpose of making available names and
services which have hitherto been difficult to find, owing to their
appearing in unindexed, though authoritative, works.
The lists of sailors and marines have been carefully compiled
from original sources.
The lists of South Carolina and Maryland names, although
heretofore published, are difficult of access and, to many, entirely
unavailable. They are therefore reproduced here.
The list of sailors presented here through the courtesy of The
Xaval History Society, is, although short, extremely valuable.
The list of the Last Men of the Revolution seems a unique,
though logical, part of a compilation of this character.
Every name appearing in the body of this work will be carried
into the index.

"Note "Others who have investigated the Slagle Genealogy claim that the
Revolutionary record here given to John Jacob Slagle really belonged to his
father, Jacob Slagle. While as a part of the lineage of the member qual-
ifying under him it would not make any difference as to his right of mem-
bership, yet in the interest of future accuracy in the matter attention is here
called to the possibility. Editor."

The Last Men of the Revolution
It is interesting to know who were the last survivors of the patriotic
men who served in the Revolutionary War. Reverend E. B. Milliard of
Hartford, Connecticut, in 1864, published a volume in which he gave
biographical sketches and altogether a list of twenty of the last survivors.
They are given below. A similar list was afterwards repeated in "The Spirit
of '76," in its issue of November, 1898, with additional dates and some
variations, which is also given below.

Georgeville, C. E. (Canada, East. Ed.), on the 9th inst, aged one hun-
dred and ten years." "He was born in Shefford, Bedfordshire, Eng., and
was apprenticed to Harris Varden, tailor, Whitehorse Yard, Drury Lane,
London. At eighteen years of age he was impressed, and made one or
more cruises on board an English man-of-war." "He then engaged in
the merchant service, and in the course of a few years found himself in
Chebaco Parish, Ipswich, Ms., where for many years he successfully
carried on the business of tailoring and hotel keeping." "He resided for
many years in that part of Ipswich now called Essex." "From Essex he
removed to his late residence in Canada." "He was a man of great
activity, energy and enterprise, and his uniform habits of temperance
doubtless contributed many a year to his long life." "He had descendants
of the fifth generation whom his own eyes have looked upon, and whom
his arms have held." "Journal, January 21, 1858."

Revolutionary @olaiers of
@kmth
Referring to the introduction to the list of South Carolina Soldiers,
following, it should be noted that, unfortunately, it has been impossible
to obtain the remainder of the list or any complete list of the Revolu-
tionary Soldiers of Sauth Carolina for publication in complete and all
inclusive form. It appears that the Historical Commission of South Caro-
lina has already published in printed form certain of the Revolutionary
Records of the State, and, further, has under contemplation a publication
which will be complete and comprehensive. The work is in charge of
Mr. A. S. Salley, Jr., Secretary of the Commission, who is a very compe-
tent historian and genealogist.
In a recent communication, Mr. Salley has given the Publication Com-
mittee a very careful explanation of the source and authoritativeness of
the lists of Revolutionary Soldiers, originally published in "The State,"
then later in the D. A. R. Magazine and now repeated in this volume. It
would appear that possibly some names are included in the list of per-
sons, who did not perform actual military service, and, for that reason,
anyone using the lists of names here printed should verify the record by
investigating the original sources. This will be the wise and safe course
to pursue, using the names here given as an index or guide to the original
records.
It should also be explained that the punctuation and arrangement of
this list are not made by the Editors, but the whole matter is simply re-
produced as formerly published.
Revolutionary Soldiers of South Carolina
The Publication Committee has planned to make this volume of
permanent value as a reference book and to include such matter as would
tend to make its use the more extended. Therefore, it was decided to
include a list of the Revolutionary Soldiers of South Carolina, which
first appeared in the columns of the Columbia (S. C.) State (a newspaper),
beginning January 4, 1904, and running at more or less irregular in-
tervals to February, 1905. The list was headed "The Revolutionary
Rolls," and at the top of each installment was the following heading:
"It is the purpose of The State to publish from time to time the names
of the Soldiers in the Revolutionary War, as they have been culled from
the quantity of loose documents discovered by Secretary of State Gantt,
in the State House. It was thought for many years that the names of
the men who fought under Marion, Sumter and Pickens had been lost;
it is hoped that these papers will in a large measure restore them. While
these rolls will be far from complete they will be of no little interest to
the people of South Carolina of this generation, and will at least pre-
serve the names, and the record of some of the deeds of our ancestors.
These records have been edited by and are published under the super-
vision of the Secretary of State."
As originally published, those names beginning with the letter "C"
followed those beginning with the letter "A" and those beginning with
"B" came later. They are here alphabetically arranged, but otherwise
will be printed as originally given. It is to be regretted that the list
closed with the letter "H" and no attempt was made to complete it.
As the office of the "State" was destroyed by fire and all papers burned,
it is extremely difficult to get hold of a copy at present.
The list of soldiers which follows were, in part, published by the
Daughters of the American Revolution in their monthly magazine, first
known as the "American Monthly Magazine," Volume 42, No. 3, issue
for March, 1913, at page 140. The name was changed to the "Daughters
of the American Revolution Magazine" and this list continued through
the six numbers of Volume 43, that is, the issues for the months of July,
August, September, October, November, and December, 1913, and through
No. 1 of Volume 44, that is, the issue for the month of January, 1914
In the last issue a notice of discontinuance of publishing the list of sol-
diers was given and, by the courtesy of Mrs. Amos G. Draper, Genea-
logical Editor of that magazine, the unpublished portion of said list of
soldiers was very generously furnished by her to the Publication Com-
mittee for inclusion in this book. The portion of the list already pub-
lished has been repeated here in order to make it as complete as possible.
Further, the Secretary of State of South Carolina was written to in the
hope that in some way the remainder of the list not originally published
in The State could be secured.

Sailors, Marines and Officers
of the
American Navy
During the
War of the American Revolution
There does not appear to exist any complete or well denned list, in
printed form, of the Sailors, Marines and Officers of the American Navy
during the War of the American Revolution. There are many records
in existence in the offices of the United States Government at Washington,
and original documents and papers most carefully preserved in the Library
of Congress. A few printed authorities have appeared to which reference
has been made in the bibliography and record sources of Revolutionary
service presented in the earlier pages of this volume. These are ex-
cellent and authoritative as far as they go. In addition nearly all of the
original thirteen colonies maintained vessels and ships, which while not
organized so closely as a navy, participated with great force and vigor
in the conflict. The records and lists of the officers and sailors manning
these vessels and ships are to be found in the various state archives
and with one or two important exceptions are not in print.
On account of the situation as outlined in the foregoing, the Publi-
cation Committee has judged that it would add to the value of this
publication, as a reference book, and for the special purposes for which
it is published to include the following list of Sailors, Marines and Officers
of the American Navy during the War of the American Revolution. It
should be specifically noted that this list is incomplete; and also, that
several lists which are in print and more or less acceptable are expressly
omitted. The names given upon the following pages have been gathered
from the sources indicated at the head of each list of names. Due and
proper acknowledgment are here given to The Naval History Society, with
headquarters at 247 5th Avenue, New York City, Mr. Robert W. Nesser,
secretary; and to the Library of Congress, Washington, D. C., and Miss
Maud Burr Morris of the latter city, a very courteous and competent
genealogist for the courtesy and co-operation given to the Publication
Committee, both in procuring for printing and in permitting to be re-

Note. A comparison of names given in Paullin's Naval History, on
which Allen based his list, shows some discrepancies, as follows:
Joseph Nicholson (instead of James); Thos. Grennel (.not Grinnell);
and, in the Marine List, Maj. Samuel Nichols (not Nicholas). Editor.
THE AMERICAN NAVY
403
Quoted from Gardner W. Allen's "Naval History of the American
Revolution" in two volumes.
"A list of Revolutionary officers was compiled in 1794, 'formed
from Minutes of the Marine Committee and Navy Boards, and from
Rolls of the several vessels.' A previous list had been given out by
the Board of Admiralty, September, 1781, which is an incomplete
register of the officers of that date. The following list has been made
up from these two lists. The names of Captains which are numbered,
comprise those appointed October 10, 1776, in order of rank. The
numbered Lieutenants were commissioned October 12, 1776; some
had earlier commissions, the date of which is given when known. An-
nexed to the main list will be found a number of names not included
in either old list, but comprises officers commissioned in France and
other places. To make a wholly complete and accurate list would be
impossible."

Supplemental

Since the page proofs for this book were corrected and returned to
the printer, thus preventing any further expansion of the main body of the
book, the following gentlemen have been admitted to membership in the
Society, Sons of the Revolution, in the State of California.
As it is the desire of the Editors to make this work as complete as
possible in every particular, the names, addresses and Revolutionary Ances-
tors of such new members are here included, thus bring the contents to a
close as of May first, nineteen-fifteen.

QQonument (^)o Q/ou
The coming generations will form their estimate of those which have
preceeded them by the manner in which they shall have preserved for them,
the historic and patriotic features of their times. It is certain that one of
the greatest monuments possible to erect is builded of literature, history,
books and libraries.
Every one may not be able to present books, records and exhibits which
shall be preserved to posterity in suitable quarters, carefully cared for, but
there are other ways in w r hich generous persons may build for themselves
and descendants monuments of enduring value.
Possibly you may possess genealogical books, genealogical or historical
manuscripts or notes, or historical collections bearing upon American His-
tory and patriotic subjects; possibly you have a desire to assist through some
other means because you do not possess such books or records to present to
such an organization as ours ; possibly it may take the form of a bequest of
money or a trust fund, or the income from some source, or the gift of real
estate or a memorial building and hall, with means to maintain, suitable to
the gift. Whatever it may be, remember that your making this Society
the beneficiary under your will, is 'a monument not only to your own good
name, that of your family descendants and ancestors, but is a more positive
testimonial of your patriotism and loyalty to the great American Cause, the
making permanent of the early history and days of this country, than almost
anything else you can do.
To the thousands of friends and members of the Cause, and users of
the privileges of our Hall and Library, it will be a permanent and abiding
mounment to those whose interest, whose efforts and loyalty have made
themselves immortal and everlasting.
Therefore, the following suggestions may prove of value now, in help-
ing you to place yourself and your memory permanently in generous recol-
lection before the patriotic and loyal members of the United States of
America Our Country.
FORM of BEQUEST
I give and bequeath to the "Society of the Sons of the Revolution, in
the State of California," a corporation organized under the laws of the
State of California, for its corporate purposes, the sum of dollars.
FORM of DEVISE of ALL REAL PROPERTY
I give and devise to the "Society of the Sons of the Revolution in the
State of California," a corporation organized under the laws of the State
of California, for its corporate purposes, all that certain lot, piece or parcel
of land; (here describe the property).
FORM of BEQUEST of PERSONAL PROPERTY
I give and bequeath to the "Society of the Sons of the Revolution in
the State of California," a corporation organized under the laws of the
State of California, for its corporate purposes, certain personal property,
to wit: (Here describe the property, books, manuscripts, etc.)
LIBRARY, ARCHIVES and MUSEUM
The Society, Sons of the Revolution, in the State of California with a
membership of about 250 and growing rapidly, maintains its permanent
headquarters and library at 814 San Fernando Building, Los Angeles.
This Society is a corporation, organized under the laws of California.
The Society appeals to the general public and to all interested in the
maintenance and upbuilding of sound American patriotism and in the dis-
semination of facts and teachings of American history, for contributions and
gifts of books, pamphlets, manuscripts, magazines, newspapers or clippings
and periodicals, either current or out of print, bearing particularly upon
Revolutionary and Colonial history; records and lists of Revolutionary
soldiers and immigrants; state, county and town histories; genealogies,
biographies, heraldic and kindred compositions, marriage, birth and death
records, etc. This appeal is made particularly to authors, compilers, gen-
ealogists and historians, also to genealogical, biographical and historical
societies and associations.
The objects of this Society are patriotic and civic, entirely unselfish
and not mercenary.
The funds of the Society are obtained by moderate dues and voluntary
contributions, therefore books cannot be readily purchased.
The library in connection with the Society is one of the recognized
libraries of the City of Los Angeles and State of California, and while
under private control, is open to the public and used by approximately five
thousand people yearly. It embraces about two thousand volumes and pub-
lications, many being rare works. Being restricted to its specific field of
work, it is more extensive proportionately than many municipal and county
libraries.
Whoever may read this announcement and feel inclined to aid a
worthy and truly American cause, is most earnestly solicited to donate any
books, pamphlets, manuscripts or things of an historical nature, etc., to this
library, for which due credit will be given and a courteous acknowledgment
of the Society's gratitude.

Qame J^ndex
Note. As its title implies, this index is confined to the names appear-
ing in this book. Attention is called, however, to. the fact that names
appearing in the sections entitled "References" in the subdivision entitled
"Revolutionary Soldiers and Lineage" are not indexed. This is true of all
names appearing solely as or in references. With this exception every name
in the book is carried in this index.
Attention is also called to the fact that variations in spelling have not,
as a rule, been cross-indexed. The name appears once only in the index,
and then in the same form as found in the body of the book. As many of
the names indexed are from original records they appear in both the body of
the book and this index in the same quaint forms of spelling so often encoun-
tered in the original records of the Revolutionary Period. For example,
the name "John Wright" does not appear in this index. The name of
"John W/mght" does appear, but is indexed as spelled in the body of
the book and not cross-indexed.
Therefore, in consulting this index, care should be used to look for
every possible form of spelling the name sought for.
