/4 NOBLE NAME.

"I hold as reverend theme for rhyme
The name that glorifies its time;
A goodly heritage that will.
Through fresh inheritors, distill
Desire to widen wisdom' s path,
Virtue, so given, to him who hath.''

"A lineage old, of lustre new.
Moss-grown, yet green with latter due ■
This is the glory I would sing,
Until our children's children bring.
To match the name they won at birth,
A name of very present worth. ' '

' ' He who cares nothing about his ancestors will rarely achieve anything worthy of being
remembered by his descendents. ' '

"No virtuously disposed mind can look back upon a long line of truly venerable ancestors
without feeling his motive to a virtuous life strengthened. He can scarcely help feeling that it
is not for him to be the first to bring disgrace upon his lineage. It will, moreover, lead him
to reflect that his posterity also will be looking back and comparing his life with that of his
progenitors."

INTRODUCTION

The author began the work of collecting material relating to his an-
cestors very early in life. As a result of these researches, the "Twining
Family was published in 1890. It was then presented with the intention
of a future revision and enlargement, as circumstances and the trend of
events might suggest.

Fifteen and more years have glided by since then, and with them ad-
vancing age, which admonishes him that the cherished design should not
longer be postponed. So far as known, there is no other person tracing
the Twining family, generation to generation, embracing all the descend-
ants of the New England founder. William Twining; and hence, there is at
least an apparent need for the present compilation.

The following pages are, therefore, submitted in the confident hope
that all the living who welcomed the former volume, and all other lovers
of heraldry, seeking for information, may, in some measure, find the new
work worthy of perusal. As previously intimated, it is the fruit of many
years of painstaking labor, briefly and concisely stated,— not a biography or
history— yet covering all essential ground.

It has been a work of love, without any compensation, except the
pleasure of doing the labor. In the words of Freeman, the Cape Cod his-
torian, "We have found filially-serious satisfaction in endeavors to remove
the moss of age from lineal and historic events, that the record may be
legible to such as are inclined to hear."

By far the larger portion of facts recorded herein, were obtained
direct from families whose lineages comprise the book. Added to these,
works on pedigree and history have been consulted by the hundreds;
church and court records. Bibles, wills, family documents, and even grave-
yards have yielded witness to the treasury of names and dates found upon
its pages. And last but not least, the author spent several weeks at Boston,
Plymouth, Barnstable, Orleans, Eastham, Philadelphia and Bucks county,
Pa., examining the original records, tramping over grounds of the early an-
cestors, seeing their lands and places of resort, and standing by the tombs
in which some have slept since long before the Revolutionary War.

The revised work has extended tracings of collateral lines, but briefly
noted in the former, many of whom are brought down to date. Copious
selections from several English works, covering the English, Welsh and Nova
Scotia families, have also a place beside the American.

VI THE TWINING FAMILY

HERALDRY

The study of heraldry is regarded by many as dry and unprofitable,
altho on enquiry into its origin and design, it will be found not only
interesting, but necessary to historians as well as antiquarians. Many his-
torical facts would remain in seclusion but for the light flashed on them by
the touch of genealogy. They are important in cerrtain legal cases where
claims of inheritance are sought to be established. At this point, we would
express the thought that it seems very strange that so few, who other-
wise manifest deep interest in historical works and societies, going to the
extent of collecting data and relics, are so disinterested in the ancestors,
the characters who made the history and fashioned znd usedihe relics they
profess to adore. However, the pride of ancestry is inborn in nearly all
mankind. It is said that no nation was more careful to preserve its gene-
alogies than the children of Israel. Josephus informs us that he traced
his own descent back some 2,000 years by means of public registers.
Indeed, "the wisest and best have ever cherished regard for ancestry, and
only those deserve to be remembered by posterity, w"ho treasure up the
history of their ancestors." The quest of an ancestor is the mark of that
spirit that binds the heart of father and mother to their children.

In the former edition, the author was invaluably aided by Mrs. E. H.
Atkinson, (dec.) of Wrightstown, Pa., Mrs. Mary B. Twining, of New
Boston, Mass., Josiah Paine, of Harwich, Mass,, and Prof. Edw. H. Twin-
ing, of Chicago, 111. In the revised work he wishes to acknowledge the
kindly assistance of

Mrs. Marinda S. Roberts (Kirk Gen.), Forest Grove, Penn.

Mrs. Esther E. Walton, Wycombe, Penn.

Geo. Lee Mahan, Stoopville, Penn.

Mrs. Elvira Weston Cobb, Union, Maine.

ORIGIN OF NAMES

The English historian. Freeman, says there is no well ascertained
hereditary surname in England before the Conquest, and that they did not
come into use till about the middle of the 14th century. Prof. John
Fiske, another eminent author, says the origin of surnames is not perfectly
clear. He says: "The largest and most familiar groups of surnames are
either (1) patronymic, such as Johnson, Jones, Wilson, etc.; or (2) names
of villages and estates, such as Washington, Frothingham, Greenough

THE TWINING FAMILY VII

(green fields), Holmes (meadow), Stanley (stone pasture), etc.; or (3)
names descriptive of occupations or social position, such as Mason, Car-
penter, Franklin (country squire), Baker, Thrasher, Weaver, Webster,
etc."

The earliest use of surnames in England, was about the 12th century.
Long before that time clan names were common, and were always pat-
ronymics. At the time of the Anglo-Saxon conquest of Gt. Britain (5th
and 6th cen.), it was customary for a clan or tribe to settle in a stockaded
village by itself, and all English towns whose names end in ham or ton, were
originally the abode of a clan.

Surnames derived from estates, or localities, appear to have been the
first to become stationary, and next after them the surnames derived from
occupation or office.

The older, animal surnames, such as Bear, Bull, Crane, Crow, Eagle,
Hawk, Lamb, Lion, Turtle and Wolf, are survivals of heathen clan names;
but the animal surnames of modern English are largely derived from her-
aldic devices or designs placed upon banners, sign-boards and coats-of-arms.
From these symbols the family name often originated, tho in some cases
the name suggested the emblem.

TWINING, as a name, had a topographic usage long before it ap-
pears as a surname. This has led those who are most capable of speaking
on the etymology of the word, to claim for it a topographical origin. This
claim makes its derival from two words, twin and ing, or to make it more
Saxon like, Tvi, i. e. two and inge, w^^jobz^^^, because of its having meadows
on the side of the rivers, the Avon and Severn, Gloucestershire, England,
where the name "Twining" first appears, A. D. 577.

As to the prefix tvi or twin, there can hardly be a question of doubt,
because the metaphor with this sense prevails in almost every language.
Twin, Twyn, Twyne, adj. in the Scottish tongue, is formed from twa, tweg,
two, expressing separation.

"The Sothron als was sundry t than in twyn,
Bot thai agayne to gidder sone can wyn."

But of ing, there is a wider range of application. As a suffix, its
meaning is sometimes obscure. In some cases, it means "the son of,"
as in Viking, son of the Vik (creek, inlet), applied to the sea rovers who
had their haunts in the creeks and fiords. In Harding, Harling, Twining
and Waring, it doubtless has the same meaning. Sometimes it has a
topographical sense, and in a few instances, used as a prefix, as in Inghs-va
and Ingrowe, it denotes a meadow. (Isaac Taylor, "Words and Places.")

Thus we find it in Tynninghame (Tineingham), of the eastern coast

YIII THE TWINING FAMILY

of Scotland, an ancient parish, containing a village of its own name. The
name is the ham, home, the w^and the Tyne, of the Anglo-Saxon, arranged
in reversed order, meaning the hamlet of the meadow by the Tyne river.
Taylor says, that ing is the most important element that enters into
Anglo-Saxon names, as it occurs in the names of more than one-tenth of
the English villages and hamlets. The syllable ing was the usual patro-
nymic in the very beginning of English history. Thus we read in the
Saxon Chronicle (A. D. 547):

"Ida waes Eopping," — Ida was Eoppa's son,
"Eoppa waes Esing," — Eoppa was Esa's son,
"Esa waes Enguing," — Esa was Ingway's son,
"Ingui. Angenwiting." — Ingwy Angenwitt's son.

A whole clan (children) or tribe, claiming to be descended from a
real or mystic progenitor, were thus distinguished by a common patronymic
or clan name. Mr. Kemble (English author), says where the patronymic
stands without any suffix [as in Twining], we have the original settlement
of the clan.

It has been suggested that twin, meaning two, and ing or ling, mean-
ing a certain age or condition, as in yearling and weanling, indicates that
our good old ancestor may have been blessed with twins, which were called
by his neighbors the Twinlings or Twinings. Others have supposed the
name to be some derivation of twine; and one, Rev. Kinsley Twining,
D. D., held to the idea that the name was Welsh or Celtic for Bush, as
an English equivalent.

The simple fact seems to be, that Twining was first a clan name,
whatever its true origin may have been, and gave name to the place long
before its usage as a surname.

Twining is a very uncommon name, so uncommon as to strike the
average reader with its rarity. So far as known, the family is divided
into three independent bodies, namely: The English, the Welsh and the
American. Of the former two, more will be said in another place.

The American family, whose genealogy forms the body of this work,
has a history extending back to the Pilgrim Fathers. For more than
a half century it was confined exclusively to the narrow limits of that
gigantic reef of sand, called Cape Cod. which has been the cradle of many
of the best families of the United States. The family is now distributed
in all the Eastern, Middle, Western and Pacific states, a few only being
found in the Southern.

Altho not a numerous people, as compared with many other names,
they have usually fulfilled the scriptural injunction, "Be fruitful, multiply,
and replenish the earth."

THE TWINING FAMILY

IX

Regarding its general character and standing, a few brief extracts
from testimonials of those well acquainted with the name, altho widely

separated, will suffice:

"Tine Twining stock was as good as any tliat came to America."

"The Twinings are one of the oldest and most respectable families of the coun-
try." (Gen. W. W. H. Davis, historian of Bucks Co., Pa.)

"My acquaintance with those bearing the name Twining, has never shown me
one who at the worst, was not a fair man in mind and morals: nor have I ever
known one very rich or very poor, while many are quite above mediocrity in intel-
lectual ability."

"Of the Twining families who have lived in my time (70 yrs.), and have passed
away, much might be said of their true sterling worth. They were honest, law-
abiding citizens, strong in the love of patriotism for country or creed, whatever it
was: always true and faithful to family and friend. This I found with few exceptions."

EXPLANATIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS

The plan adopted in this record is not the usual one followed by g
alogists, who number the names in consecutive order.

Only heads of families who have living male issue are numbered in
successive order, the numbers immediately preceding the name in heavy
figures, thus: 2 William, 4 Stephen, 6 Barnabas, 10 Thomas,
71 Jacob.

Names not preceded by heavy figures are completed in one group
under one notice, and show that said father has no known living male
descendant.

Therefore, all female names and their descendants are clustered under
the head figure of the principal father.

The Roman numerals number the children in consecutive order of each
head number, and designate none but Twinings. They constitute the first
row at the extreme left.

By keeping in mind that all figures on the same upright line relate to
the same generation, the one or more generations are easily distinguished
in their order.

Reference to other names are indicated by numbers in upright curves;
Example: (3-5-2). 3 is the head number, 5 the 5th child of that number,
2 the 2nd child of the 5th, and so on.

ABBREVIATIONS: — b. stands for born, d. for died, m. for married,
unm. for unmarried, />?/. for infant, y. for young, res. for residence or residing,
ch. for children or church, s. p. without issue, n.f.k. nothing further known,
E. for Eastham, O. for Orleans, AA. for Newtown, 14/ for Wrightstown, etc.
Dates following a name refer to time of birth. Figures following a name
thus, 1659-1720, denote the time in which the person lived. Other con-
tractions are given which may be easily understood.

INDEX

Especial care has been made to secure a full index, both of the
Twining and all allied names. Experience and observation proves that
any book, and especially a genealogy, is curtailed of much of its value or
usefulness if it has not a full index. The same name under different
spellings is combined under one.

TWINING NOTES

There is no doubt but many whose names appear in these records, passed over
by simply a brief line, have an unwritten history of which any one might be proud
to pGl^ess. They may have been the very saU of the period and community in
which their lives were spent, yet rest in the sweet and hallowed peace of obscurity.
Their monuments are not those that crumble, nor their fame ,the kind expressed in
deeds of valor, but rather deeds of justice, mercy, humility and simplicity, the
cardinal traits of perfect manhood.

Since 1695, Bucks Co., Penn., has been the leading Twining center in the
United States. It is yet the banner home of the family. Previous to 1783, Orleans,
(Eastham) contained all the other families. After 1783. Tolland. Mass.. had a
numerous body which continued strong 50 years or more: only a few descendants
of the old stock remain, many having settled in Conn., and other states farther west.

From 1821, Broome Co., N. Y., has had a large Twining population. Frequent
swarmings have failed to materially lesson its numbers. Erie Co., (same state)
once had a thriving family, which began to go west and grow up with the country,
about 1855. Its strong foothold for a time was Jefferson Co., Wis., where it proved
a fruitful tree, sending forth its share to subdue the earth.

Philadelphia and Scranton, Penn.. are cities in which the name occurs with
frequency; nearly all being derived from Bucks Co. Penn., Ohio, New York. Conn.,
Mass., Michigan and Wis., in the order named, have the largest number of living
generations. Indiana, Vermont, New Hampshire. Rhode Island, Delaware and the
•"Solid South," are states in which the name has failed to thrive.

1795 marks the commencement of the New Haven. Conn, branch, an offshoot

I from the Tolland. Altho not numerically strong at any time, it has achieved more

I than ordinary distinction in the number of its members who have passed thru the

higher institutions of learning, and subsequently filled honorable stations in life.

1815 was the starting point of the Granville, (Licking Co.) Ohio family, another

'Tolland dispersion, quite strong at one time; many of them have found homes on

the broad prairies and the Pacific states. Hancock Co., Ohio, has a remnant of a

once flourishing colony from Bucks Co. (about 1830). clustered in and around

Findlay: many of its female descent are still there.

In two or three instances the compilar has come across those bearing the name,
who, for reasons best known to themselves, refused to make their ancestry known.
It is inferred that they may have either no credible connection, or thru ignorance or
lack of ancestral pride, have no record of their place in the family tree. As an aid
to locating these and others whose names do not appear on the lists, if perchance
they do belong to the American ancestor, we would here note the Twinings duly
entered, who may have descendants, some of these probably being their 'iost tribes:"
Samuel, grandson of 13 Barnabas: Nathaniel, son of 16 Samuel; Christopher,
son of 36 Daniel; Eleazer, son of 52 Barnabas. The third and fourth are known to
have married and had children.
\ ,-• Of the two great lines diverging in 1695. the Penn. largely outnumbers the
other. Both branches have shown much interest in educational acquirements.

XII THE TWINING FAMILY

Many have been accomplished as teachers and instructors; many as successful
farmers and mechanics. They have been a religious people thruout their history,
inclined to the liberal and practical side. They have been a patriotic people, whether
remaining at home or serving in battle. One served in the war between France and
the Provinces. Those who served in the Revolutionary War were, 13 Barnabas,
28 Nathaniel, Samuel. Nathaniel and John, sons of 16 Samuel, two from Orleans
and three from Wrightstown. There were others, no doubt, whose enlistments do
not appear. A host of Twinings served in the Civil War. On account of the non-
resistance principles of Friends, and the strict enforcement of its rules against those
who participated in military service, probably many Twinings have been kept from
entering the various wars of their day, and thus their descendants are non- eligible
for the various military societies, such as "Sons of the Revolution," "Daughters of
the Revolution." etc.

Usually the Twinings are medium in height and weight, broad shouldered, well
built, erect form, dark hair and quite prominent nose. The temperament predom-
nates in the nervous-sanguine, the temper usually quick, but not revengeful, a calm
soon follows the storm. Exceeding few have been given to the intoxicating cup;
crimes of violence unknown. Other characteristics that seem to crop out in many,
are, the heavy eyebrow, a merry twinkle of the eye, a humorous vein, a keen sense
of the ludicrous as exhibited in human nature. These are the ordinary Twining
"trade marks." They are usually lovers of music and horses.

Wrightstown is the historic resting place of the Twinings of Penn. The ground
is holy. More of its members have been married under care of its Quaker meeting,
and more of them buried in the graveyard adjoining the meeting house, than at any
other spot in America, Plain white tablets, about two feet high, mark the last
resting places of many of the old patriarchs and their familes who faithfully attended
the sacred services in the old stone temple, whose massive walls have stood erect
more than one hundred years. It is a fine, old fashioned edifice, two stories high,
arranged in the interior according to Quaker usuage and Quaker simplicity. The
little hamlet stands in the midst of lovely, highly cultivated farms, beautiful land-
scape of hills and dales and flowing stream. A trolley line passes thru, adding to
the comfort and convenience of its citizens, many of whom are descendants of
forefathers who settled there before the beginning of the Eighteenth Century.

There is no evidence that any other Twining, aside from William. Sr.. ever set
foot on American soil in Colonial days. In a long and extended correspondence
there have not been found a dozen Twining families in the United States, who are
not allied with the Cape Cod ancestor. In a history of over two hundred years,
there is not a single known instance of inter-marriage between members of the two
branches which separated in 1695. This in measure may be accounted for in the
infrequency of their abode in the same locality. The vital records show the family,
as a whole, cling well to life. Several have lived beyond 90, many beyond 80, and
a small multitude beyond the sacred number of three score and ten years.

The old Plymouth records show some variation in spelling the name. Aside
from its proper way, we find it Twineinc, Twyning, Twinning, Twiney. The index,
however, treat them under one name. The old Welsh families spell it Twyning and

TWYNNING.

Of the British Twinings no statistics are at hand. Probably none have ever
been gathered. They do not, however, appear to be a very extensive body. This
seems strange, too, when the length of time they have had to expand is taken into
consideration. If the American family numbers 700 living. Twining-born. with a
history of less than 300 years, the English cousins, who have a prior record of
several hundred years, should have at least a hundred thousand. It is doubtful if
they exceed the former in living issue.

FIRST GENERATION

WILLIAM TWINING.

When the first edition of the "Twining Family" was issued, in

1890, there was a lingering hope that the passing of a few years would
throw some light on the American progenitor, William Twining, previ-
ous to his introduction to the New World; that something might be gleaned
showing to a certainty his ancestry, his marriage, time and vessel in which
he left his native land. The failure to bridge the chasm, or find the miss-
ing link that bound him to his British Sire, is disappointing to all who care
to know.

The story of his life is thus hidden in the dead past. Only a few
waymarks designate the course of his journey while here. Only a few
brief records to tell that he lived and took his place in the renewed battle
of life in a. New World, passing thru its waves and billows, performing the
obligations of a true freeman and loyal citizen of that little Colony which
sowed the seeds of justice, liberty and manhood, that was eventually to
culminate in a great Republic and a great nation.

He died on the Atlantic shores, in his Eastham home beside Town
Cove, after having obtained a competence and seeing his children and
grandchildren established around him. But no monument stands over his
unknown grave; no eulogium commending his services to the world. His
will and testament are consigned to the flames; his life, character and
mental attitude are equally perished, except so far as they have been
transmitted to his posterity.

WHEN AND FROM WHENCE DID HE COME?

By far the greater portion of the early emigration to New England,
occurred between 1630 and 1640, and it was during this "floodtide"' that
our ancester came over. That he first landed at Plymouth, is evident in
the fact that nearly all the Cape Cod settlements were made from dissatisfied
inhabitants of this centre of English emigration.

It is also known that the Eastham colony was made, so far as known,
exclusively of Ply. settlers; and the character, also, of this new venture is
known in the statement that the church at Ply. "regretted their departure,
for they who went out from her were among the most respectable of the
inhabitants of Ply."

2 THE TWINING FAMILY

Altho tradition has pointed to Wales as the place of his birth and an-
cestry, the evidence, both circumstantial and contemporaneous, is very
much against it. There is also a tradition commonly current that he
came from England. Tradition, however uniform, unsupported by facts, is
not to be trusted. Its unreliability has been demonstrated in history and
genealogy over and over. An example of its lack of fidelity may be
instanced is several different traditions current among living descendants
of the name. The common one is that "three brothers" came from
Wales (some say England), to Cape Cod, one of whom remained there,
one went to Penn., and the third to Vermont or New Hampshire. It is
known that the one who remained on the Cape was 3 William, grandson
of the progenitor; the one who went to Penn., 4 Stephen, another grand-
son of the founder and brother to 3 William; and the third of the "three
brothers" (?) was 28 Nathan, or 30 Abner, members of the 5th gen-
eration who left the Cape 150 years after the name had been established
there. Another claim set forth is that "three sons" of Lord Chancellor
Twining (?) of England, after having swindled the old gentleman out of his
wealth, fled to America, one of them locating at Eastham, and the other
two in the south. A tradition current at Orleans up to a recent date has
it that the family is French. Another from the Penn. branch, is positive
the founder came from Yorkshire, England. As to the Welsh claim, it
appears to have been the fashion, when nothing was known touching an
emigrant, to put him down as coming from Wales. The tradition, how-
ever, may be based on the fact of another William Twining, who did
come from Wales about 1760, to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where families
derived from him remain to this day.

Our ancestor evidently came from England; was English born, and a
true "Johnny Bull." He may have sailed from a Welsh port as other Eng-
lishmen did, and he may have even resided there for a time, but there is
no evidence in all the records extant that he was a Welshman by birth.

Savage, the best authority we have, did not know when he came,
and could not tell where his son William, Jr., was born (he was a lad in
1641), whether here or in England, he says, "probably in England," show-
ing that he regarded the father as a native of England. Another important
fact which gives weight to the claim of an English nativity, is, that his
daughter, son and grandchildren, so far as known, married into English
families, all of whom landed at Plymouth.

The circumstances which led our ancestor to leave his native country,
were doubtless the same as the multitudes which came before and after
him. The desire to escape the intolerance and oppression of both the

all intelligent creatures; to find a larger and more certain field for material
wealth in a land of milk and honey, these were the prime motives that
inspired our forefathers to leave the ties of kindred, the scenes and tradi-
tions of the Old World, for new homes in distant America. It is also well
known at this particular period of time (1630-40), the tyranny of the
English ruling classes were exceedingly oppressive, similar to the present
Russian oligarchy, which hastened an influx of emigrants, many of whom
came by whatever means they could find. They were the cream of the
nation, hating its persecuting spirit and feudalism, and eventually became
the foundation stones of a great and mighty nation whose arms have ever
been outstretched to the down-trodden and oppressed of every land.

As the registers before 1640 contained only the names of those
legally qualified, i, e. those who took the oath of allegiance and paid a sub-
sidy, those not in sympathy with the requirements, secretly left. He was
probably one of this class, and thus a reason is given why his name is not

in any list of emigrants.

"What may be safely held for fact is that the ancestor of the American family
was Anglo-Saxon and Puritan. The race type remains in the family to-day — the
sanguine temperament, the fair skin, the blue eyes, the love of honest dealing and
fair play. Our ancestor has left no words or history to show these traits of character:
but they are claimed by the traditions of the family: they are held as an inheritance,
and their imitation as an obligation."

WHAT THE RECORDS SAY

The name of "Mr. William Twining, Sr.," first is found in the
Ply. Court Records, Jun. 1, 1641, in a case of trespass regarding certain
lands. He was then a res. of Yarmouth, situated some 30 miles S. E. of
Ply., incorporated 1639. How long he had been here up to this time is
not known.

His dau. Isabel was married here the same year, month and day,
according to the same records. It should also be stated as an evident
fact, that his first wife was then living. Decidedly unlikely is it that he
would come over with two children in their teens, and remain a widower
until 1652, some 12 or 15 years after his arrival. It is evident that she
must have died at Yarmouth or Eastham, and that he married again at
the latter place in 1652, as the records have shown.

In 1643 he is included in a list of those able to bear arms at Y.;
1643 to 1645, the same records rank him among the malitia. consisting
of 50 soldiers. (To each of these soldiers on going forth waa given one
pound of powder, three pounds of bullets and one pound of tobacco).

In 1645, he was one of 5 soldiers sent out against the Narragansetts.

He next appears as a resident of Eastham'''", where Savage says he removed
soon after being at Y. 1643. As Gov. Prince (Prence) went from Ply-
mouth to Eastham in the Spring of 1645, it is probable William followed
soon after. The distance from Y. to where he settled was not more than
fifteen miles.

The same records (Ply. Col. Rec.) show, Oct. 1650, his name among
a list of 17 persons to secure damage against certain parties in an act of
trespass. He is first mentioned in the E. records (Vol. 2,) as con-

*Eastham, called Nauset prior to 1651, in its original form, is a township of
Barnstable Co.. Mass.. having the Atlantic Ocean on the E.; 15 m. long and 2 to 4
wide: present length 6 m. It is a continuous plain; sandy soil, requiring much
labor; several fresh water ponds and creeks; no timber. Settlement of Town began
1645, with 49 souls, who soon built a meeting house 20 ft sq. with thatched roof and
forts in the side of the building, for use in case of attack by the Indians. Around
this house, near the E. side of Town Cove, (see map) a burial place was laid out,
still enclosed and containing several gravestones. Wolves, crows and blackbirds
were numerous. All who stood outside of the meeting house during public service
were set in the stocks, and all were taxed to support the Cong. Ch. In 1684, 101
legal voters and 500 Indians were reported within the parochial charge. In 1718,
the Tp. was divided into North and South Parish. In 1765 but 4 Indians were in
the Tp.

Orleans, It is well to note here that Orleans was set off from Eastham in 1797.
Since then the south part of old E. has been known as 0. This name was never
known to the citizens of E. before that date. This is why it perplexes some to under-
stand how people lived in E. and died in 0. Orleans Tp. (see map) is diversified
with hills, small bodies of water, inlets of the sea, and numerous small groves of
young trees.

The landscape is attractive, the climate healthy, the average of life being above
the normal. The soil, however, has lost its ancient fruitfulness, so that but little is
produced by the farming interests, while manufactories are comparatively unknown.
Yet the people have comfortable, modern-like homes; are refined, educated and pro-
gressive. The means of support aside from the limited gleanings of the soil, are its
fisheries, cranberries, summer resorts and retired sea captains.

Orleans village, the metropolis of the township, is situated at the foot of Town
Cove, and extends from the railroad (built 1865,) east f mile, to the old cemetery
and meeting house where the Twinings worshiped and buried their dead. The orig-
inal church stood on the spot where the present edifice stands. It was built 1718, at
the time the South Parish was created. Both church and cemetery are pleasingly
situated, having a commanding view of the landscape, especially to the east and
south. Southeast of this, on Pleasant Bay. is a locality known as "Barley
Neck," where members of the family lived for many years.

Poche or Pochet (now denominated East Orleans), an Indian name made famous
by them on account of location and goodly soil, is a territory almost surrounded by
salt water. On the east side is Naiiset Beach a dune stretching from Eastham to
Chatham. It is a barrier to the coast against the terrible waves of the ever rolling

Stable, Jun. 5, 1651; but as the Ply. Rec. (Vol. 2, p. 167) say.
"elected Constable Eastham Jun. 5, 1651, Wm. Twining, jr.," it is doubtful
which was meant, probably the latter.

In 1652 he marries Anna Doane"^. This fact was given by Free-
Atlantic. Here the compiler (1904) beheld the angry ocean incessantly lashing
against the shore. It was an inspiring scene, the blue waters surging and tossing as
far as sight could reach: vessels in the distance gliding to Boston and other ports:
cottagers resting and breathing the elixir of the expandless deep. The scene finds
expression in the lines of the poet:

"Roll on. thou dark and deep blue ocean, roll!
Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain:
Man marks the earth with ruin — his control
Stops with the shore.

It was the same old tumultuous ocean that thundered in the days of his ances-
tors, as they also stood on the beach and some on their farms, beholding its never-
dying grandeur. In this locality, not over three miles in diameter, the Twining
families continued to reside in successive generations for 200 years. Between
Nauset Beach and mainland, off Orleans village, are bodies of salt grass, which
he saw mown as was done in the days of these pilgrim fathers, whose dust has long
since mingled with its sandy shores.

'i'Anna Doane may have been a sister of Dea. John Doane 1590-1685: came
to Plymouth 1621 and Eastham 1645. He stands at the head of a numerous family,
whose genealogy was published 1902, by Alfred Alden Doane, Boston, Mass.

man Mayo, Town Clerk of Orleans, in 1886, which he claimed to have
taken from the old records under his care. The present Orleans and East-
ham records do not show this marriage, and therefore it has been called in
question. The discrepancy is accounted for in the abstraction (evidently
since 1886), of thirteen pages between pages 51 and 64 of the book called
"Births, Deaths and Marriages, 1649-1760." The index of this book
calls for Wm. Twining, page 58, one of the missing leaves. Anna died
Feb. 27, 1680.

1654, May 13: "Granted to Wm. Twining, Sr., two acres of meadow
lying at head of Great Namskaket;" "five acres of upland with his son
Wm.; and that he shall have five acres more at the head of these lots."

In 1655 his name is included in a list of 29 legal voters or "freemen"
of the Town. Same records show of several parcels of land granted him
at Rock Harbor, Poche and other localities on the Cape.

He appears to have resided in Poche on the east side of Town Cove,
"on a house lot containing two and one-half acres lying next the Covey

In 1659 he was granted "five acres at Poche, lying at the head of
Wm. Twining, Jr."

His death occurred April 15, 1659, being evidently not over 70 years
old, having been a resident of Mass. 20 or 25 of the formative years of
New England history.

That he was a man of more than ordinary character is shown by the
title of "Mr." which prefixes his name in the early records, a title of honor
which was sparingly applied in those days. The historian tells us that in a
list of 100 freemen of the early Colonies, not more than 4 or 5 were dis-
tinguished by Mr., even tho they were men of substance; "none but those
who belonged to some more than ordinarily distinguished family, or held
some office of dignity, were ever complimented with the title of Mr. or
Mrs." Confirming this statement in a measure, the old Clerk of Barnstable
Co., under date of Jan. 1905, writes: "I find his name is mentioned often
in our Probate Records, as copied from Plym.outh, as an appraiser of estates,
etc., showing that he was a man of good character."

Owing to the fact that the County Records of Barnstable were des-
stroyed by fire in 1827, the missing of portions of the original Eastham
records, and all the Church records lost, our ancestor is left without a will
or any other documents relating to his estate or further history. Altho defi-
nite proof is lacking, he was no doubt a member of the Cong. Church,
with which hundreds of his descendants have been indentified.

So far as known, he had but two children, and they by his first wife.
born prior to his coming to the Colony. Their names are: Isabel, who
it seems from external evidence, was the oldest, and 2 William, whose
records are given under the head of second generation following.

SECOND GENERATION

ISABEL TWINING, d. May 16. 1706. Yarmouth. She m. June
17, 1641 , Francis Baker; b. in Hertfordshire, Eng., 1611; came in the "Plan-
ter" 1635; went from Ply. to Y. where he was permitted to dwell June 1,
1641 , a few days before his m. In 1659 we find him in Eastham on 10
acres "lying upon Poche," by the land of his wife's father Wm. Sr.
These acres were soon sold to Wm. Jr.. and he ret. toY. where he was
engaged in the cooper trade, and also surveyor of highways. His name
appears in the Ply. Court Reel 653- 1672. Will made 1693; his d.
occurred July 23. 1696.

As the early rec. of Y. are lost to 1671. doubtless important facts
relating to the Twining and Baker families are destroyed. The des. of
Francis and Isabel Baker, number many thousand, only a small portion
of whom are herein recorded.

Isaac, Isaac, Isaac who m. Mary the dau. of Richard Berry (above). Richard came
over in the ship "Fortune" 1621; d. at Y. 1676, where his 1 1 ch. by his wife Alice were
born.. The frequency of intermarriage between Baker, Chase and Kelly, in these
records, is distinctly observable; it is especially true of the first four generations,
confined to the narrow limits of the Cape.

14 THE TWINING FAMILY

2. WILLIAM TWINING, i 1 William ) was born about 1625. "prob-
ably in England," says Savage, and therefore was but a boy when he canne
over with his father. He is first mentioned in the records when he
married about 1650, at Eastham, Elizabeth Deane''' (Stephen and Eliza-
beth). In 1652 he was admitted and sworn. From this date to 1671
his name occurs four times as one of the Grand Jury. As early as 1677
he was a deacon of the E. ch. Freeman and Pratt in their histories of
Cape Cod, do not mention this fact, however, the old clerk says; "Dea.
Twining and Dea. Freeman * * * to take and keep a clear account of Mr.
Treat's maintenance given him by the town; * * * to take care about
underpinning the house that Mr. Treat now lives in,"' etc. He is alluded
to as "Deacon Twining" as late as 1681.

In 1669 he deeds land at Bound Brook in Y. to Peter Worden.

In 1671 deeds to Thomas Dogget, for 28 pounds, 100 acres at Nam-
akasset, Middleboro, Ply. 1674 to John Yates, for 20 pounds, land on
Prince's Neck, by River Sparrow. In 1659 the town of E. granted him
"Three and one-half acres for a house lot, adjoining Wm. Twining, Sr." 1664,
ten acres granted which was formerly Josiah Cooke's. He had lands at
Billingate ( Wellfleet), and several other places in Barnstable Co.

The old records of E. under date May 5, 1693 says; "Granted to
Joseph Young, a parcel of land at Poche, Capt. Sparrow and Wm. Twin-
ing, Sr., to set it out." In 1695 his name occurs on the records of E.
for the last time, in which he and his son, 3 William, were enumerated
among the legal voters of the town.

Previous to this latter date his religious views have underwent a rad-
ical change. He has passed from the Cong, church to the Society of
Friends, better known in those days as Quakers. The circumstances
leading to this change are unknown: the Monthly Meeting he united with
is not on record. The records, however, show the existance of Quakers
in Eastham, tho the nearest M. M. was evidently not closer than Sand-
wich. With change of creed came also a change of habitation. This
was imperative if he wished to escape persecutiont and enjoy the peacea-

•Stephen Deane of Ply., one of the first comers in the "Fortune" 1621, built
the first corn mill in N. E. 1632. He m. Elizabeth, dau. of wid. Mary Ring, and
had Eliz., Miriam and Susanna, and d. 1634. His wid. m. 1635. Josiah Cooke,
(Francis of the Mayflower), another prominent original settler of E.. in whose will,
made 1673. on record at Ply., bequests were made to his stepsons Wm. and
Stephen Twining.

tFrom 1670 to 1700, there was a large emigration from different parts of N. E..
to Long Island, E. Jersey, and later to Penn., especially with Quakers, and some
other "Heretics." on account of the persecution.

ble fruits of a peaceable religion. Therefore we find hinn and his son
Stephen, locating in the new Province of Pennsylvania.

The year 1695 thus marks an important epoch in the family history.
Up to this date, a space of more than fifty years, it has remained intact;
but now it is divided, and doubtless for the best. His location at Newtown,
Bucks Co., Penn., was in advanced life, and he probably did not purchase
much land. His name first appears in the Middletown M. M. Records,
1699, in connection with his son Stephen's, to a Testimony against selling
rum or strong drink to the Indians. The same records in 1703, state that
a marriage occurred in a public meeting of Friends' held at his house, his
wife Elizabeth signing the certificate.

He died Nov. 4, 1703: her death was Dec. 28, 1708. His will was
found in the Philadelphia Register's Office 1885, by Edward Atkinson,
where it had evidently lain 180 years, unknown by his descendants.

THIRD GENERATION

3. WILLIAM TWINING, 2 William) 1654: d. Jan. 23. 1734-5.
Very little is known of this steadfast Puritan. His father and only brother
forsake the ancestral church and remove to the wilderness of Penn.; but
he seems to have been content with both land and religion, devoting the
80 years of his life to the tilling of his lands, in which he was eminently
successful, as shown by the estate left to his family. He was also a
mechanic.

He m. Ruth Co[e* (John and Ruth) Mar. 21, 1689; b. 1668; d.
after 1735. She was a Mayflower descendant thru a line of prominent
Cape Cod families. His descendants, while not so numerous as his
brother Stephen's, are characterized as a people of intelligence, refine-
ment and successful in life. Many of them have filled the higher avenues
of life with credit and honor. His father gave him all his lands at Bound
Brook, additional to other bequests indicated in his will.

His will was made some ten years before his death. The following
is an abstract of it and the inventory:

To Ruth his "loving wife," one third of personal estate during her widowhood :
to his two sons William and Barnabas, all his lands and meadows, they to comforta-
bly support "my sd. wife during the term of her widowhood:" to his wife and two
sons, each one bed and bedding; to his dau. Hannah bed and furniture thereto, and
one cow; to dau. Mercy one cow: "and forasmuch asmydaus. Elizabeth, Thankful
and Ruth have heretofore had each a bed and bedding, and each a cow, I therefore
give all the rest of my personal estate, in equal proportion, unto my natural children,
namely, my two sons and five daughters."

Inventory, real and personal, amounted to over $7000.

Land at Smith's Neck - - 320 pounds.

Land of the homestead - - - 800

Dwelling house, barn and shop - 120 "

Meadow at Boat Meadow & Rock Harbor 56

-A. STEPHEN TWINING, (2 William) Feb. 6, 1659. The

records afford but few facts regarding this worthy ancestor and founder of

a numerous branch of the Twining family. He dwells at Eastham 35

years, where most of his children were born. He was no doubt a man of

business tact and industry, possessed with more than ordinary means for

one of his day. With his father and mother he seems to have espoused

the fellowship of the Friends' Society, while still a resident of the Cape.

and with them, wife and children, he starts life anew in a wilderness of

savages and undeveloped resources. Newtown, Bucks Co., Penn., is the

place in which he pitched his tent in the year 1695. He chose a land

beautiful in landscape, rich in soil, peace loving and tolerant in its people.

That he chose well is evident in his own prosperity, materially and morally,

and the hundreds of those who look back to him as a worthy forefather.

Davis' History Bucks Co., has the following relating to his first two

purchases:

■"The 500 acres of Thomas Rowland, extending from Newtown Creek to

* Richard Higgins, the ancestor of the family, in the original town of E. was
one of seven of the first settlers: was in Ply. 1633, and in E. 1644. Was deputy for
several years: m. Lydia Chandler 1734, and rem. to N. J., leaving ch. behind. It
is a very numerous family, many still on the Cape.

THE TWINING FA:\IILY

Neshaminy. including the land the Presbyterian church stands upon, was owned
by Henry Baker in 1691. who conveyed 248 acres to Job Bunting in June 1692. and
in October 1697. to Stephen Wilson, of Burlington. N. J. "In 1695 Bunting con-
veyed his acres to Stephen Twining, and in 12th month 17. 1698. Wilson did the
same, and Twining now owned the whole tract."

In 1702 he owned 690 acres in Newtown Township and in 1707 pur-
chased 300 additional acres of John Ward, situated in the southwest cor-
ner of Newtown, adjoining Wrightstown Tp. These acres passed succes-
sively to the descendants of 9 John Twining for several generations, a
portion yet being in the name.

In 1716 he deeds to his son Eleazar, 150 acres, bounded on the west
by the "Neshamenah" creek, and William Buckman's land on the north.
This well preserved deed, with Stephen's signature attached, is in posses-

sion of the compiler. The 690 acres have all gone out of the name. On
these stands the large fine residence of Cyrus T. Vanartsdalen, on the
spot where Stephen sat down in his humble log cabin, on his first landing
on the shores of Pennsylvania. On the west side of this large and pro-
ductive body of land flows the beautiful waters of the Neshaminy. It was
here where our ancestors of the long ago, sat on its banks, bathed in its
renewing waters and hooked in the finny tribes.

He was an active and leading member of the Friends' Society; ap-
pointed its Overseer 1713, Elder 1715. Misname first appears on the
Meeting Records January 1700. He married Jan. 3. 1683, Abigail Young

possession of his gr.-gr.-gr. -grandson, the author of these records. Dec.

1, 1744, he and wife Sarah deed "in trust" one acre of land "for a meet-
ing house and burial place," to the trustees of the Newtown Presbyterian
church. The said house of worship was erected 1769; is standing as seen
in the accompanying cut. It is probable they became identified with this

The house, with some additions since, is the property of Cyrus T. Vanartsdalen.

FIFTH GENERATION

Vi^.//?t>- y^^^iytfiui^ 5 William; Jul. 5, 1733. A

^^y man of more than ordinary promi-
nence and ability, indicated by the Orleans ch. and Town records. Fifty
years of his busy life were spent in Orleans, in the dignified callings of
farmer and carpenter. In 1758 he served as corporal in the France-Pro-
vincial war. In 1783 he sells his homestead, located just south of the
present Universalist church, a pleasant locality, to Simeon Higgins. and
with his brother Elijah, removed to Tolland* (Granville before 1810),
Mass., where they purchased an extensive tract of land upon which their
remaining days were spent.

The Tolland Cong, church was organized 1797. and Thomas was
chosen its first deacon. The house which he built at Tolland is still
standing (see 23 William) in good condition, showing that "Dea. Twining"
was a good carpenter and selected the most durable material out of his
forest.

As late as 1793 he conveys his remaining salt water and meadow
lands on Pleasant Bay. It is said that he and wife Anna were very strict
in observing the Sabbath and reading the Bible. He married (l) Alice
Mayo, Jan. 16, 1755; m. (21 Anna Cole (Isaac). Oct. 24, 1765; b. Dec.
3. 1740; died Oct. 12. 1828. It is traditionally claimed that she was a
Doane. Very likely her mother was a Doane. He died Apr. 23. 1816
in his 83rd yr. The gravestones of Thomas and his brother Elijah are
standing in the "Twining cemetery," where lie many of the ch.. gr.-ch.,
and gr.-gr. -children of each.

hamlet is 12 miles from a railroad, four miles from Conn, state line. The old
church was organized 1797, with Rev. Roger Harrison its first pastor, ordained the
same year. The church now has no member on its rolls bearing the Twining name.
This is also true of the Orleans church, which for so many years was the "Zion
unto which the tribes were gathered."

The ancient residence of "Dea. Thomas Twining." stands in the midst of the
original acres of Thomas and Elijah, which extended some distance into
the two counties. Likewise these lands have passed into other names, and the
historic grounds, cherished in memory by a host of descendants, remain but the
echo of a distant past. One half mile east of the homestead is the Twining burying
ground.

in which he and his family worshiped 'see engraving of church), is yet
standing. It is an antiquated structure, still tenanted, and good for many

lars. His farm was nicely located by a tiny lake with extended sloping
banks. Pleasant Bay to the south and the Atlantic to the east were his
life companions. The house in which he dwelt, built by 10 Thomas Twin-
ing, was recently torn down and rebuilt at Orleans station. The following
is part of the contract for erecting the dwelling, dated Apr. 22, 1772:-

"Sd Thomas Twining is to finish for the Sd Prince his New Dwelling House,
Agreeable to the plan that Barnabas Twining Hath Laid for the finishing of His.
The Sd Prince finding to the spot all the Stuff Necessary for the same, to be finished
by the first day of Dec. next; and that the Sd Prince is to pay the Sd Thomas,
thirty Pounds thirteen shillings and fore pence, on or before the first of Dec. Next
for what work the Sd Thomas Hath done and Shall do on the Sd Prince His House. ' '

With some difficulty the writer, who visited the spot in 1904, found
his way thru a heavy cluster of young trees and vines, within the old yard,
to where portions of the ancient cellar walls and cellar partly intact, re-
mained to indicate where the old patriarch of four score years spent his
days. It was here "the hand upon the dial of life stood still and the silver
chords were loosened."

10. SAMUEL TWINING, (8 Nathaniel) Jan. 24. 1726, on the

large and productive farm now owned by Wm. Klette, just outside of the

Newtown boro limits. The farm north and adjoining, was owned by his

brother 17 Benjamin. Relating to his m. the M. M. Records has the
following:

"At Middletown M. M., 14th of 9th mo. 1752, Samuel Twining and Mary Jenks
declared their intentions of marriage for the first time, and at the meeting held the
5th of 10 mo, they appeared the 2nd time; signifying their intentions of m. with each
other. And the said Samuel having produced a certificate from Wrightstown M.
M., to the satisfaction of Friends, they are left at liberty to consumate their said in-
tentions when they see convenient." The Comm. appt'd for the purpose, reported
to the meeting of 11 mo. 2nd 1752, that the marriage was "decently accomplished
on the 26th day of last mo."

FRIENDS GRAVEYARD. WRIGHTSTOWN. FA.

For some trivial offense he was disowned Jul. 8, 1766. The probate
records of Bucks Co., do not have his name after 1767, at which time he
settles his brother Nathaniel's estate. He probably died in Newtown. His
wife was Mary Jenks* (Thomas and Mercy [Wildman] ); born Apr. 20,
1733; d. 1803.

* The Jenks family in America date back to 1700, in the person of Thomas
(Rev. Benjamin Jenks. 1651-1724. Rector of Harley, Eng.: m. Martha Hunt, and
had 4 sons). 1675-1699: died while preparing to emigrate to America with his wife
Susan and son Thomas. Jr.. who married Mercy Wildman (John and Marah or

was disowned May 2, 1776 for serving with the militia. He was a good
business man; was killed by falling from an upper story of a flouring mill,
date not given; unm.

Ill — Nathaniel, disowned Dec. 6, 1782 or '92 (confusion in the M.
Rec.) "for going into the army." It is shown by the War records that
Nathaniel Twining served as an Ensign in the 4th Maryland Regiment,
Rev. War, and was commissioned as of that grade Dec. 10, 1776. He
was promoted to be 2nd Lieutenant Oct. 15, 1777, and his name appears
on a list, dated 30th May, 1779, showing "General Arrangement of the
Officers of the Maryland Line." This list shows the date of his com-
mission as 20th Nov., 1777. He resigned 1st Jan., 1779.
(Record and Pension Office and Heiiman's Historical Register.)
In 1775 he has deeded to him 7 acres in Middletown Tp., land devised
by John Cauley, to his dau. Elizabeth, wife of Daniel Bratt. At this date
he is a resident of Newtown. He probably died unmarried, but when or
where is not known.

tor was Christian Barentsen, b. in Hooren, Holland; died 1657, at Fort Dela-
ware, (U. S.) when in charge of a garrison there. The name was changed to Van

17. BENJAMIN TWINING, (8 Nathaniel! Jun. 3, 1728. But
few facts have been gleaned relating to this member of the family. He
lived in Newtown as late as 1758, when the Friends disowned him for
marrying "out of meeting." 1757. May 5th, he and wife Sarah deed his
share in the paternal estate to his brother Samuel, 62 acres for 200
pounds. The next year he sells his homestead, 53 acres, and probably
soon after removed to Warren Co., N. J. He evidently died 1784, as a
letter of administration of his estate was granted to one James Berry,
Aug. 31st of said year. (.Phila. Reg. Office.)

THE TWINING FAMILY

On his 53 acres, immediately east of Newtown boro, and recently plat-
ted into building lots, stands the house he built of Newtown brown stone
(see engraving). In this house Gen. Washington made his headquarters
just after the battle of Trenton, Dec, 1776. Altho the building has been
repaired and enlarged, the room in which Washington rested remains in-
tact, relics and all. The old stone spring house seen in front of the resi-
dence covers the spring which still flows an abundance of pure water. This
old historic building is one-fourth mile south of the Presbyterian church,
built 1769 on land deeded by his father Nathaniel. On the west end of
this farm (with a public road on each of its four sides, Richboro on the
south and Buck on the east), is an ancient burial ground, long since out
of service. It is very likely some of the early Twinings found this their
last resting place.

who was much more disposed to work with his head than with his hands,
went to Yale Coll., the old man and his son William were plowing with a
yoke of oxen, one of which was rather inclined to reflection than to action.
The old man, quite out of patience, finally exclaimed: 'What can we do
with that lazy off ox?' 'Send him to college !' was the prompt reply." His
tombstone in the New Haven Cemetery bears the inscription: "He Fear-
ed God." His des. tho not a numerous body, have excelled in the higher
avocations. His death occurred Dec. 18, 1832.

* Mrs. Marcus Fillcy's account of her Grandfather's (23 Wm.) homestead
(built by his father. Dea. Thomas Twining), still used as a dwelling:-

" "How in the name of wonder.' an expression of his. how he ever built a home
in that wild, rough, out-of-the-way place, is more than I can imagine. Grand-
mother used to tell me that when they first lived there, bears and panthers would
prowl around the house at night: the men were afraid to go out after dark without
their guns. The house was large — two or three kitchens with great, large fire places
(the ch. could sit in one corner). In the second story of the house was a large room
for spinning and<.weaving: there was a large loom there. 1 think it is there now
(1886): both wool and flax was manufactured into cloth for family use."

"G. F. had a large farm: raised horses and cattle. They kept about 30 or 40
cows: milking time was a busy one: every member of the family had a certain
number of cows, every cow had a name, and the large dairy room, with its churns
and cheese presses, was a place of interest. He owned a saw-mill, grist-mill and

dry goods store. In their large house, well filled as it was in my younger days,
there was happiness: everything showed contentment and prosperity. But what a
cold place in the winter! — a house built upon a mountain. One could look off at
the West five miles — cold and bleak: not a stove in the house. Every morning
after breakfast (a fire built one morning would last until the next, if it did go out
the tinder box was handy), the men would go out, and, with a crow-bar, roll in logs
covered with snow: first would come a great back-log that would be rolled into its
place: then another: then great chips on top of the logs: then the coals that had
been left over would be put among the chips (all this time the doors open, the cold
coming in), then the bellows were used until the fire was well started: and with all
the exposure no one took cold. There was health and wealth on that mountain."

2(>. JUDAH TWINING, (11 Elijah) Jan. 21, 1774; d. Aug. 27,
1854. A farmer of Tolland, noted for his benevolence, fat cattle and hogs.
He was a peculiar character. He stammered somewhat, and was very
much opposed to new tangled ideas. His son Philander was more modern,
and therefore, the story goes, that when the latter, having put granite posts
to his front fence split out of the solid granite, thought it best to case them
to make them look better. The old man remarked that his son had gotten
a new idea, which was to case stone posts to keep them from rotting. He

THE TWINING FAMILY 85

boasted that when Philander was 21 years old, he had hay in the barn and
pork in the bottom of the barrel that were there before his son was born,
it is said that if a man came to him to borrow money, and was well dress-
ed, he would not let him have it; but if he came with his clothes patched
the loan was made, as he claimed that he was more sure to return the
money than the other.

and free from m. engagements. In Jul. 1793 he purchased 140 acres of
James Parker, for 388 pounds, the farm being close to Quakertown,
Hunterdon Co., N. J. On this farm, v/hich was mostly timber, he built a
grist and fulling mill, beside his log cabin, which was replaced with a stone
dwelling, the same as his other buildings. This fine property is located in
a very fertile valley, surrounded by high hills, -a hamlet of Arcadian
beauty. "The old Twining residence is yet one , of the most imposing
houses in that locality."

It is said that the old clock which was purchased in Eng., still stands in
the corner of the room where it stood more than 100 yrs. ago. Altho
greatly prospered in his business here, being worth $16,000, he removed
to the "Holland Purchase," Erie Co., N. Y., 1811, where he bought 500
acres of land at North Boston (Podunk), which he farmed the remainder
of his active life.

He was a tall man, heavy set, pleasant in appearance, business-like; a
clothier by trade, It is related of him that because he would not take up

44. ALEXANDER CATLIN TWINING, L. L. D., (22 Stephen)

1801, New Haven. Ct.; d. Nov. 22, 1884; grad. Yale 1820; civil
engineer; Prof. Math. Middlebury Coll., Vt.; classmate of Pres. Woolsey
and Rev. Leonard Bacon, D. D. Associate of Profs. Silliman and Olmsted
in scientific observations. Received the degree of L. L. D. from Yale.
Dea. 1st Cong. ch. 1856-82.

From the New York Independent:

"The death of Prof. A. C. Twining ends a long life of varied and brilliant
achievements, and which was even richer and more beautiful in richness and fruit-
fulness of Christian character. Prof. Twining is known among astronomers as the
author of the cosmic theory of the meteors. As a civil engineer he was engaged
as chief or controlling engineer on every line running out of New Haven on the
northern roads thru Vermont, on the Lake Shore, the Cleveland, Columbus and
Pittsburg, and various roads out of Chicago, including the Rock Island and the old
Milwaukee line.

"As an inventor he pioneered to a successful result the industrial manufacture
of artificial ice.

"For nine years he served as Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy in
Middlebury College, and while thus residing in Vermont, was active in the Temper-
ance Reform, into which he entered with energy as the Chairman of the State
Temperance Committee. In political matters he took deep interest as one of the
promotors of the original movements which issued in the foundation of the
Republican party.

"He was one of the projectors of the famous Conn, letter to Pres. Buchanan.
He was deeply interested in constitutional questions, a study of which culminated in
his lectures on the Constitution of the United States in Yale Law School. In
questions of theology and philosophy he was at home and discussed them with bold
vigor and subtile ingenuity.

"To his friends, the beauty of his face and head, the striking and winning
courtesy of his manner, the simplicity of his Christian character made a lasting
impression, while few that met him even casually have failed to notice that to him
it was given to invite and receive the spiritual confidence of others, and to give to
them solid and permanent assistance where there are few to attempt it and still
fewer to succeed."

THE TWINING FAMILY

71. JACOB TWINING, (37 Joseph) Oct. 7, 1770. Lived and
reared a large family on his farm of 225 acres situated in the extreme N.
E. corner of Wrightstown Tp. It is unfortunate that so little is known of
Jacob, as he stands at the head of the most prolific branch of the Twining
family. It is claimed that he had many virtues, adhering strictly to his
Quaker tenets, which he was careful to practice. Nearly all his sons and
daughters after m. settled in Ohio, and subsequently their issue extended
out into Mich., and portions of the far West. Many of them have been
prosperous having the progressive spirit of the times, keeping in touch with
the moral and educational privileges of their day. Others of them seem

ENGLISH, WELSH AND NOVA SCOTIA TWININGS

Extracts taken from several English Authors, personal corres-
pondence, and especially from "Some Facts in the History of the
Twining Family," By the Rev. Wm. H. G. Twining, Vicar of
St. Stephen's Westminster, assisted by Miss Louisa Twining, of
Tunbridge Wells, Rochester, England ( 1892 and 1895.)

In compiling the annals of the Twining family, the first thing to be
dealt with is the origin and history of the name; for this we must go back
1300 years, to the remote beginnings of English history.

TheTwinings of Twining were of that race which was English before
William the Conqueror came.

The place from which this family arose is situated in the Co. of
Gloucester; it consists of a scattered village, rich meadows, pastures,
and arable land, eight miles in compass. The approach to the village of
Twining (about two miles north of Tewkesbury) is across King John's
bridge.

It may be of interest to give a few notes on the history of Twining
before the Saxons came. It passed in succession thru the hands of the
Romans, the Saxons, the Danes, and the Normans. The Romans left
the camp; the Saxons gave the name; the Danes devastated the Church
and Grange; the Normans built the Church.

Prior to the Saxon invasion, under Cuthwin, A. D. 577, we have no
mention of the name; the origin of the patronimic "Twining" dated from
this period. The name was probably taken from the land as was often the
case in other parts of England.

The Danes drove the Saxons from their lands. For two centuries
these lands were distracted with wars between the English and the Danes,
until the latter gained a lasting victory in 893.

TWINING MANOR

Tuninge (Twyning) was held of the manor of Tewkesbury in the
reign of King Edward the Conqueror. The Church of S. Mary de Winch-
combe held Tuninge in the reign of William the Conqueror, and continued
in the Abbey of Winchcombe from the Norman conquest to the dissolu-
tion.

THE TWINING FAMILY 2 1 1

The name is spelt in as many as 14 or 15 different ways, from the
6th to the 14th centuries, as Twenyng, Twenying, Twinning.

The registers at Twining, and the documents at Oxford contain much
information. In the former are records of the Twining family until the
year 800, and the registers of Painswick and Pershore constantly refer to
the Twinings of Twining.

THE EARLIEST RECORD

The earliest record as yet discovered relates to Thomas Twining, b.
about 1360; d. 1412. He possessed property in Tewkesbury.

In the year 787, we first hear of Winchcombe, as it is spelt in Domes-
day. It is 12 miles from Twining, in a beautiful valley under the Cotswold
hills. In 789, Kenulph laid the foundation of a stately Abbey for 500
Monks. He gave among other manors, that of Twining. The first
Abbot was 985: the 26th in the list was John Twining, who received the
Benediction 1474. He was a great promoter of learning, and thru his ex-
ertions the Monastery was raised to the rank of a University.

The earliest will is that of the above Thomas, dated 1412. on record
in the Probate Court of Worcester. He gives to his son Richard, a silver
cup; to his wife Christiana, an acre of meadow in Holeh'me; to Thomas,
son of John, one-half of a burgage in Walker's Lane; to son Thomas; to
daughters Alice, Agnes, and Elizabeth; to servants Richard, Je'un and
John. He was connected with the Abbey of Tewkesbury which existed
four centuries before the Conquest.

The next member of the family associated with the Abbey, was Rich-
ard Twining, Monk of Tewkesbury, who was ordained a Regular Priest in
Worcester Cathedral 1472. He was present at the battle of Tewkesbury,
1 47 1 , when the Lancastrian army was defeated by the Yorkists under
Edward IV. (See Reminiscences of Twining's).

The name of Twining appears again in 1539, at the dissolution of the
Monastery, in the person of Thomas. Monk of Tewkesbury Abbey, who was
compensated by the King's Commissioners. The Abbey and its inmates
had thus existed for nearly 500 years; fifteen generations of Benedictine
Monks occupied successively the cells of the dormitories, desks of the
cloisters, and the graves of the cemetery.

THE TWININGS OF PAINSWICK

Immediately after the dissolution of the Monasteries began the disper-
sion of the Twinings. One branch sought repose in the peaceful valley of
Painswick, a few miles from Tewkesbury. The Church here is a large

2 12 THE TWINING FAMILY

building with a tower and spire, and a celebrated peal of twelve bells. The
Churchyard is remarkable for its 104 yew trees which border its paths.
Here the names of 2 William Twinings, Robert, 2 Johns, and Thomas, of
the dates, 1613-15, appear in a list of copyholders. The Registers of
Painswick begin 1550, and contain the name of Twining upon almost every
page from 1551-1 8D0. More than 100 baptisms are recorded from the
first John, in 1 55 1 , to Matilda, in 1 798. The list of marriages have Thomas,
who married Rebecca Green in 1662, to Hannah Twining, who married
John Haines, in 1754. The names of Mary and Elizabeth are found in this
list 13 times. The record of burials begins with Mary, in 1637, to Samuel,
in 1799. One of the most interesting ancestors is John Twining, who lived
in a group of stone houses, in a dell under Longridge Wood, Sheepscombe.
He gathered the children of his neighborhood at his house, where he told
them Bible tales. It is said from him Robert Raikes obtained his ideas
for organizing the Sunday School, which has made his name famous.

THE TWININGS OF PERSHORE

Pershore stands on the right bank of the Avon. Here an Abbey was
formed for Benedictine Monks, by charter of King Edgar, about 970. In
the registers there are several Twining baptisms and burials. In the
Registrar General's Report is the following: "In the year 1666, Oct.
27th, Thomas Twining, of Wyre, near Pershore, aged 26, obtained a
license to marry Hester Dineley, 25, daughter of William Dineley, gentle-
man, of this Parish, Naunton Beaucamp." A complete table of descent
exists from Rollo, Duke of the Normans, 91 1-27, through King Ethelred
and Edward the Confessor to the family of the Dineleys.

THE TWININGS OF EVESHAM

The Twinings lived for many centuries in the Vale of Evesham, which
extends from the Warwickshire hills to the river Severn, near Tewkes-
bury, and from Broadway hills, south, to Pershore, north. The registers
here contain the name of Mary, 1648, dau. of John Twining, who is
famous for the part he played in the first civil war. He was brother to
Thomas of Pershore. Lieut. John Twining was tried in 1651, before
Cromwell's Commissioners for taking part in the defense of Evesham; he
was twice imprisoned, and his property confiscated. His petition to the
Commons is said to have been an able argument for his defense.

THE REGISTERS OF WYRE AND THROGMORTON

The registers of Wyre, begin 1716, recording the baptism of William,
son of Richard and Mary, 1732, and Thomas, in 1734. Others of their

THE TWINING FAMILY 213

children are in the registers of Pershore. At Throgmorton are found the
familiar names of Thomas. William, Richard, Edward and a Tobias.

In the Probate Court of Worcester is found the will of Thomas Twin-
ing, of Throgmorton or Wyre, property situated on the Avon, divided be-
tween wife and 8 children. At Gloucester there are no less than twenty
wills of Twinings, beginning with William, 1544, and ending with John,
1640. Among other given names here, are James, Robert, Anthony,
Agnus, Alice, Julian, Edith and Jane. In 1723, John Twining, of Flad-
bury, was appointed guardian to the sons of Jonas Twining.

VILLAGE OF TWINING

Twining is situated about two miles north of Tewkesbury, county of
Gloucester; seven miles from Pershore, 127 miles from London (coach
109). It stands at the junction of the Severn and Avon rivers. The
ferry is called "Twining's Fleet." The Parish is se;)arated from Worces-
tershire by the navigable Avon over which a ferry is located. The Church
exhibits portions of Norman architecture. Population about 1000.

The Twinings of London have given a hospital to Twickenham, 12
miles from L. The churchyards there have hundreds with the name on
the head stones.

The list of Ecclesiastics in the family dates from 1472. when Richard
was Monk and Priest of the Abbey of Tewkesbury: 1474, John, Lord Ab-
bot of Winchcombe; 1539. Thomas. Monk of the Abbey of Tewkesbury;
1739, Thomas, Vicar of Wilsford; 1761. Joseph, Carate of Aldworth;
1804, Thomas, Rector of St. Mary's Colchester; 1850, Daniel, Rector of
Stilton and Therfield; 1851, James. Vicar of Holy Trinity, Twickenham
and Little Casterton; down to the present day, when only two remain.

PROMINENT MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY

Daniel (1777-1853). son of Richard (1747-1828) and Mary of
London. Isleworth and Twickenham. Studied under tutorage of the cele-
brated Dr. Parr. Appointed to the Rectory of Stilton. Hunts. In 1832,
was offered the living of Therfield. Herts. He m. Jane Wing.

"We seem to want something of a connected memoir of our friends
and relations; you and I would gladly preserve as much as we can of times
now becoming evancient. If not done by some of us, how many things
will become dreams, how many entirely lost?" Rev. Daniel Twining to
his brother Richard. 1847.

Elizabeth (1805-1889). second dau. of Richard (1772-1857). Her
life was occupied in works of help and usefulness for her poor fellow-

214 THE TWINING FAMILY

creatures, which continued to the time of her death. She possessed great
talent for drawing and painting; flowers were her chief delight, in the paint-
ing of which she excelled. During many years she was occupied on a
work as illustrations of the Natural Order of Plants, for which drawings
were made with great industry. These were afterwards drawn in litho-
graphy, painted by herself, and copied by others, from the originals, all
being done by hand. In after years, an edition in 8vo was published, re-
duced by photography, and printed in colors. She also brought out a
volume of Lectures on Plants, such as she used to give to classes for work-
ing women at the College and elsewhere. She was the author of 22 writ-
ings, several of them being religious.

During many years of her life she was much interested in the history
of her family and former generations, and endeavored to collect Pedigrees
of the Longcroft, Smythies, and Twining families; these researches, tho
not completed at the time of her death, led to all that has been subse-
quently done in that direction, and she had the satisfaction of seeing many
obscure and hitherto unknown questions cleared up. After her removal to
Twickenham, she built and partially endowed St. John's Hospital. Here
the last 23 years of her life were spent.

Frank Theed (1848-83), eldest son of Frank, and gr.-son of Rev.
Daniel Twining. He was educated at Christ's Hospital, subsequently
Downing Coll. and St. Thomas' Hospital. He became an accomplished
and well read physician, devoting his time to hospitals in Eng. and the
Continent. A defective hearing which began early in life, gradually in-
creased, and led to a decline in health. He d. suddenly while asleep. He
was a man of strong likes and dislikes, but was never a bitter enemy.

"Work houses and Pauperism;" "Charity at the End of the 19th Cen-
tury;" "Women as Official Inspectors." — Nineteenth Century, 1890.
She also took much interest in the family pedigree, being the author of
"Supplement" of "Facts," issued 1893 and '95, containing memoirs of
prominent persons of the family. In her preface to "Facts, " she says:
"It has been a great pleasure to me to be able to make the results [of the
researches] accessable to the many members of our family, to whom I
feel sure they will prove interesting, as showing our descent from remote
periods, and from many worthy personages of great ability, and even his-
torical interest, as well as a connection with some of the noblest buildings
and monuments of the past. "It will surely add an interest to visits to
these far-famed spots to remember that those who belong to us, and
whose name we bear, were connected with the life and the work carried
on there so many centuries ago. "Some of the places I visited in 1887,
and had much pleasure in tracing and seeing these links with past genera-
tions, such as the grave of John Twining, in Painswick Churchyard, and
his humble stone cottage on the lovely hillside above, tho at the time we
were unable to discover any des. of the once numerous family in Glouces-
tershire, the last member of which died last year, "it is only recently
that we have been able to trace our connection with these older branches
of the family, and with those of the name in Nova Scotia and Canada.
"When, many years ago, a Dr. Twining came over, and visited us when

216 THE TWINING FAMILY

we lived in Bedford Place, we had no knowledge of how he was related to
us, tho we felt sure he must have been so. "Now this has ail been made
clear, owing to the researches so carefully carried out in Gloucestershire,
by which the missing links have been discovered, proving that we are des.
from the same stock, and have one common origin." In a letter to the
compilar, Sep. 1904, from 63 Landsdowne Road, London, she writes: "I
am, at my age, quite unable to make any further researches."

Richard ( 1749-1824), son of Daniel; and gr.-.sonof Thomas ( 1675-
1741 ), tea-merchant in the Strand; m. Mary Aldred; wrote journals and

A., 1685 and 1688-9. He was appointed Vicar of W. 1696, and of
Charlton, Wilts, 1702. He was a cousin to Thomas of the "Golden Lion;"
left the care of his affairs to his uncle Josiah, whose wife Mary, showed to
him motherly care during his last sickness.

Thomas (1735-1804), eldest son of Daniel of London. He distin-
guished himself as a scholar and in the art of music at Cambridge, where
he took degree as B. A., 1760, and M. A., 1763. He was an able per-
former on the harpsicord, organ and violin. In 1768, he became Rector
of White Notley, in Essex, to which, in 1770, the living of S. Mary, Col-
chester, was added; continuing the faithful discharge of his Parochial
duties here, and the pursuit of his studies, until his d. Aug. 6, 1804. The
only work he published is a translation of Aristotle's Poetics, reckoned one
of the best Eng. translations of ancient writers. A second edition of this
work was edited by his nephew, Daniel Twining, 1812. He m. Elizabeth
Smythies of Colchester, the first of the inter-marriages of these two
families. A volume of letters by him has been edited by his great nephew,

Thomas (1776-1861), second son of Richard (1749-1824) of the
Strand and Isleworth. He was one of the energetic Englishmen who laid
the foundations of the Indian Empire. He went out at the age of 16 in
the service of the Hon. East India Company, in whose service he spent
some remarkable years as Judge and in other capacities. On one of his
voyages home, (1796) he visited the U. S., being a guest of President
Washington and other notables of that day. His notes and reminiscences

province of ^Behar. On his return to Eng.
1805, he m.»and settled in Northamptonshire
till 1815, when he removed to the Continent,

218 THE TWINING FAMILY

Thomas ( 1806-1895 ). son of Thomas (1776-1861). He was the
oldest member of the Soc. of Arts. Was an invalid from boyhood; trav-
eled in Switzerland. At Milan, he fell on the ice, which made the use of
crutches necessary during the rest of his life. Founded his own Economic
Museum at Twickenham, which burnt down 1871. He was the author of
"Technical Training," and "Science made Easy." He received the
Cross of the Legion of Honor from Napoleon 111 in 1855; was also
honored by the Italian Government in 1867.

Thomas, author "Averbury in Wiltshire, the Remains of a Roman
Work, Erected by Vespasian and Julius Agrcote." London, 1723.

Thomas, Baptist minister of Trobridge, Wilts; "Sixteen Sermons
with Biog.," preface by Dr. J. Toulman, 1801.

William, ( Rev. William, Rev. Griffith) bro. of John Thomas; b.
1790; d. at Calcutta 1835. He was a distinguished surgeon; member of
the Royal Coll. of Surgeons in London; served in the medical department
of the Royal Army 1812-1830; the remainder of his active and useful
life was spent in Calcutta. Author of several prominent medical works.
In 1815, while serving Lord Wellington, he v/itnessed the battle of Water-
loo. He was of middling stature, strong and robust; abstemious and a
rigid water drinker. The inscription which marks his grave is as follows:
"To the memory of William Tv/ining, Esq., member of the Royal Coll. of
Surgeons in London, Surgeon in the Service of the H. E. I. Company,
Bengal Establishment, first permanent Assistant Surgeon to the Presi-
dency General Hospital, and Secretary to the Medical and Physical So-
ciety of Calcutta." This Monument is erected by his professional brethren
in India to mark the high sense which they entertained of his character
and of his eminent services, which he rendered in the cause of medical'
improvement and research in that country. Born A. D. 1790, died at
Calcutta 25th Aug. 1835, aged 45 years." See "Nova Scotia Twinings."

William ( 1 8 1 3- 1 848 ) , youngest son of Richard ( 1 772- 1 857 ), of the
Strand and Bedford Place; educated at Rugby and Oxford. He became
a physician of note, being the author of pamphlets relating to "Idiots and
Feeble-minded," which awakened in the English a deep interest in the
subject, then but little regarded. A few years after his leading pamphlet
was published, ( 1842) several institutions for the care of Idiots and the
Insane were established in different parts of England.

William ( 1815-39), son of Rev. John Thomas Twining; see pedi-
gree. Grad. of medicine in Eng. Considered to be an able medical man.

He died from yellow fever, contracted while on board a slave-ship, which
had been captured and taken to Sierra Leone, where he was required to
attend the slaves suffering from that disease.

REMINISCENCES OF TWININGS

By the amalgamation of Twining's bank and Lloyd's, London, in a
sense, loses a landmark; for the Twining's is one of the oldest established
institutions outside the Temple Bar. Years before that much-abused
gate-way gave way to the grotesque Griffin that marks the city boundary,
the bank and adjoining tea warehouses had acquired a certain extent of
fame, even among casual passers-by, while to those who take a deeper in-
terest in old London, it has recommendations not only connected with its
own career, but with the history of the family with whose name it has
been so long associated.

Between a rural monastery of the Middle Ages and a modern bank-
ing business in the Strand there would seem to be such little affinity that
it is interesting to trace, in the history of the Twining's the evolution of
the one from the disolution of the other. It was in the middle of the 15th
century that an eminent member of the family was a mitred abbot of
Winchcombe, some 12 miles from the village of Twining, in Gloucester-
shire, from which the family took its name.

Up to that time they had always been the Twinings of Twining. With
the exception of Richard, who was monk and priest of the abbey of Tewkes-
bury, little is known of the Twining family until 1474, when John became
Lord Abbot of Winchcombe. Nor is anything known of either monastery
or abbey church, tho the Abbot's house, which survived them both, be-
came at last the parish workhouse, and was not finally destroyed until
1815. But from what can be gleaned from ancient records, the predeces-
sors of the present firm of bankers were for the most part Monks, and
were evidently men not only of learning but of great courage. For not
only do we read that the Lord Abbot was of such learning that his monas-
tery was raised to the rank of a University, but there was a later illustrious
member of the family in Richard Twining, Monk of Tewkesbury, whose
courage is a matter of history. As deacon of the abbey, he was present

220 THE TWINING FAMILY

at the battle of Tewkesbury, when Edward the 4th disastrously defeated
the Lancastrians. The story told of him is that after their defeat they
took refuge in the abbey; the Yorkists followed, and Edward arrived at the
porch with the intention of dragging the fugitives out, or killing them
where they stood. But the intrepid monk came from the altar where he
had been celebrating the mass, and holding the consecrated sacrament in
his hands forbid the King to commit such sacrilege within the walls of the
church, refusing to let his majesty pass until he had promised to spare the
lives of those who had sought safety in the abbey. The King, thus ad-
jured, gave the required promise, and all joined in a thanksgiving service,
on the one side for victory and on the other for safety.

With the dissolution of the monasteries began the dispersion of the
Twinings; and here we get to the first stage in the evolution of the bank;
for, tho deprived of their ancient means of usefulness, many of the succes-
sors of the monks of Tewkesbury and Winchcombe took to the English
Church, with which many of their names are honorably associated; others
prefered secular pursuits. About 1710 we find Thomas Twining [1675-
1741] in London, establishing the tea business, which in a rather singular
way developed the bank. That this was at the beginning of the 18th cen-
tury, and that the business was started at Tom's Coffee-House, in Dev-
ereux Court, off ths Strand, is proved by the fact that on May 18th 1712,
there was an advertisement inserted in the "Spectator" by him, offering
a reward for some article lost, which was to be returned to that establish-
ment. The tea business was conducted under the sign "Ye Golden Lyon,"
the shop forming part of the premises in which the present tea business is
still carried on by lineal descendants of the founder.

Tom's Coffee-House was a favorite centre in the days of the Georges^
when these places were at their zenith, tho overshadowed by its more pre-
tentious neighbor the Grecian, where Addison and Steele and Sir Isaac
Newton mingled with lesser lights of literature and science.

The Lion's head from over the doorway, elaborately gilt, still hangs
over the fire-place of the counting house, near to where the bank began
its existence, it would be difficult to match Twining's in the matter of
unpretentious beginning. One little room in Devereux-court, adjoining
the tea warehouse; one small safe; and one clerk promoted from the coun-
ter to the desk, constituted the bank.

But old Thomas Twinining had, doubtless, no idea of the growth it
would attain. He had for a longtime exercised the function of banker to
his family and connections; and established this room to keep the accounts
separate from the tea business. But so good a reputation had he that

THE TWINING FAMILY 221

when once he extended his sphere of operations, clients crowded upon him;
and in time it became necessary to extend the premises. When this was
done, it was in no niggardly fashion. Under the authority of a writ from
the Crown, the property between the bank and the Strand was acquired,
and the present capacious double establishment erected. Its subsequent
career was one of continued prosperity; and the bank is largely written up
in the history of the St. Clement Danes, with the affairs of which parish
the descendants of the original banker have always been actively interested.

Several members of the firm -which consisted of Messrs. Richard
Twining, S. H. Twining, H. H. Twining, A. J. Tweed, J. Twining and C.
T. Sidgwick, — have occupied important positions in the parish and been
intimately connected with its charities. Samuel Twining was its church
warden, Richard Twining Treas. King's Coll. Hospital, and Herbert Twin-
ing Treas. of the parochial schools.

But these are days of amalgamations and of huge business concerns;
and Twining's, sharing the fate of so many private enterprises, is now
merged in Lloyd's bank, of which it will henceforth be known as the Twin-
ing's branch. The tea warehouse will continue, as it began, carrying on
an independent business, unaffected by the change; and here will remain
the interesting memorials of its founders which have so long adorned its
walls. The portrait of the founder of the business, by Hogarth, and that
of the founder's son, by Hudson, Hogarth's pupil, are both in excellent
preservation. There are also curious old prints and other relics which
serve to illustrate the gigantic strides which have been made in business
matters since they were first constructed. — From the "Globe", London,
May 20, 1892.

THOMAS TWINING OF LONDON

No distinct Record has yet been found of the circumstances which
led Thomas Twining my gr.-gr. -father, at the commencement of the 1 8th
century to emigrate to London, where he seems first to have taken up his
abode in St. Giles, Cripple-gate, and from whence he founded ( about
1710) the business of tea dealer at Tom's Coffee House in Devereaux
Court, Strand; the same which has been extended by his descendants to
the present day. It seems, however, not improbable that he may be iden-
tified with the "Thomas Twining" whose name is on a board in the parish
church of Painswick as a donor of 5 £, in 1724, to the parish schools then
founded.

222 THE TWINING FAMILY

He was a freeman of the "Weavers'" Company in the City
of London, a circumstance which would seem to connect him with
the wool trade, at that time flourishing in Gloucestershire, but from whence
it afterwards drifted into Yorkshire. The same may account for the mi-
gration of many members of the family to other homes.

Succession in Business, Devereaux Court, Strand:

1. Thomas Twining, b. 1675; founder, . . . 1710

2. Daniel, his son and successor, . . . . 1714

3. Richard and Daniel Twining (Daniel) . 1771 and 1782

4. Richard, George, and John Alfred (Richard ) 1794 and 1818

5. And so on to their sons and grandsons to this date . [1905]
Early in the 18th century [ 1726] Thomas Twining built "Dial House",

and it was inhabited by himself and successive generations of the family
until the close of the year 1889. It was then presented by Richard Twi-
ning, on behalf of the Family, to the Patrons of the Living of Twickenham
as a Vicarage for the Parish. It has since been entirely rebuilt, the main
features of the original building having been carefully preserved and the
old Dial retained in its front. ~" Selections from the Papers of the Twining
Family," by Richard Twining, London, John Murray, 1S87.

THE WELSH TWYNINGS

The first Tv/ining who went to Wales was John, grandson of Thomas,
of Pershore, the son of John and Joan of Throgmorton. Two generations
later, William (a Welshman), went from Pembroke, Wales, to the island
of Nassau, and then to Halifax, Nova Scotia.

The family first appears to have existed in Wales in the county of
Pembroke. Tombstones in the churchyard of Lampeter Velfrey, near
Narberth, mark the resting place of ancient members of the family, but
they are too worn to be deciphered. The earliest known member is the
Rev. Benjamin Twyning, Rector of Amroth, who died 1757, aged 97 yrs.

In Burke's General Armory, 1842, the Welsh Twynings are described
as of great antiquity. In a work by Ellen Millington, "Heraldry in His-
tory, Poetry and Romance," the following passage occurs:" - The Tv.'y-
nings of Bryn, county Pembroke, have a very ancient coat, Sa, two bars
between two stars of six points, or; the crest represents the twins. Castor
and Pollux, in infancy, as the stars are supposed to represent them after
death." The motto is, "Stelli^ aspirate Gemellis; aspire to the twin stars,"
an allusion doubtless to the name of Twyning. This crest is one of the
oldest in existence.

THE ENGLISH CREST

In the year 1818, Mr. Richard Twining, while passing thru Lland-
rindod Weils, saw a chariot with an English Twining crest upon it. It is
very remarkable to find this ancient Welsh branch of Twinings bearing
the English crest, which forcibly suggests a common origin.

The arms used by Daniel Twining in 1783 was evidently brot to Lon-
don by Daniel the elder, in 1670. and adopted by the family. It somewhat
resembles that of the Twynings of Bryn, but the stars have five points.
[Thomas Twining, founder of the London branch, changed the Welsh

crest and started anew with one contrived out of an entirely different ren-
dering of the name, which he evidently supposed to be some derivation of
twine, and as his gr.-gr. -grandson, the late distinguished banker explained
to me, provided himself with a crest showing an arm or something of that
kind, with a serpent twisted about it. All this proves that he knew nothing
of the real significance of the name. — Rev. Kinsley Twining, 1886].

In 1754 Daniel Twining (Thomas) again changed the arms by add-
ing to it the St. Andrew's Cross.

claim thru the local and general registers, and also by clergymen living in
the river Dee locality, above mentioned. All deny the existance of the

Twinings aver they never heard of the name there. A family by the
