TO MORRIS K. JESUP, AT WHOSE SUGGESTION THE WORK WAS UNDERTAKEN, AND \\.HOSE UNFAILING INTEREST HAS FOLLOWED IT TO . ITS COMPLETION, THIS HISTORY AND RECORD OF THE LIFE AND THE DESCENDANTS OF HIS AMERICAN ANCESTOR PREFACE. HE present work was begun in 1879 at the solicita­ T tion of MORRIS K. JESUP, EsQ., of New York city, and has been prosecuted during intervals of leisure up to the date of publication, a period of nearly eight years. The amount of time and labor involved can be justly estimated only by those who have been engaged in simi­ lar undertakings. The materials have been drawn from a great variety of sources, and their collection and arrange­ ment, the harmonizing of discrepancies, and, in extreme cases, the judicious guessz'ng at probabilities, have in­ volved more of perplexity than the ordinary reader would suppose. Records of every description, and almost with­ out number, have been examined either personally or through the officials having them in charge, and in one case as distant as Cape Town in South Africa,- records of families, churches, parishes, towns, counties, in foreign lands as well as in the United States; land records and probate records, cemetery inscriptions, local histories, and general histories, wherever accessible. The recollections Vlll Preface. of aged people have often furnished keys which have unlocked rich treasure-houses of knowledge. It is a matter of regret that so many of our aged friends who were greatly interested in these chronicles of bygone years should have passed away before being permitted to see the work completed. Of necessity much has been done by correspondence. To his large number of correspondents, more than six hundred at least, between whom and the writer several thousand letters have already passed, - both public offi­ cials and civilians, on both sides of the Atlantic, and in distant lands, - he would here make his sincere acknowl­ edgements for the aid they have rendered. A few, to whom he is under special obligations, are referred to in connection with the work done by them individually. With the exception of some names belonging to the later generations, the record is as complete as circumstances would permit. In most cases where the record is defec­ tive or doubts remain unsolved, it is because either no record was found or those who knew the facts failed to communicate them. That there are errors is very prob­ able. When three or four variations of a given date are reported, it is a matter of judgment which shall be chosen. In such cases the oldest private family record is followed. It is earnestly requested that all well-accredited corrections be furnished the writer, both for future use and in the interest of historical verity. The arrangement of the genealogical tables, it is to be hoped, will prove both simple and intelligible. The reader Preface. IX will wish readily to trace out both the ancestors and the descendants (if any) of those in whom he is interested. To enable him to do this, all who bear the fami"ly name and also the ch£ldren of married daughters are designated by a series of numbers, the emigrant ancestor being No. r. If the record of a son or daughter be brief it is given with what is said of the parents. If the head of a family be a daughter, the record of her descendants, so far as known, will form a part of the record of her own family. A plus sign (+) is prefixed to the names of chil­ dren of whom fuller histories are given farther on, where the same name and number will re-appear in heavier type, followed by the names of the father, grandfather, etc., up to that of the emigrant ancestor, when a brief count will readily determine to what generation the individual belongs. The index numbers attached to the name of father, grandfather, etc., do not designate generations as is commonly, the case, but point to a preceding part of the book where in connection with the same number the full history of the ancestor may be found. For example, on page 91 we find "+ 41. BLACKLEACH," appearing for the first time, in order of descent. Turning forward to p. 108, "41. Blackteach Jesup" appears in heavy type, in connection with his full family record, and there it is seen that he is the son of Edward,8 grandson of Ed­ 1 ward" and great-grandson of Edward , the emigrant ancestor. He is, tlien, of the fourth generation; and on pages, 41, 74, and 89 the history of his ancestors will be found, under the numbers 1, 4, and 8. X Preface. Very nearly the same arrangement is used in connec­ tion with the records of the Jessup families given in the Appendix as also in the record of the family of THOMAS HuNT, JR. given there, the latter having been prepared too late to be inserted in its proper place in Chapter First of the main body of the work. The arrangement by chapters, instead of the more common one by gener­ ations, is simply the result of the way the material came into the writer's hands, one line of investigation being completed before a second was begun. The three well­ marked families which originated with the brothers Edward, Joseph, and Jonathan, of the third generation, will doubtless be glad to find their several histories unbroken, while the mutual kinship of the various members of the three can still be traced without difficulty. So far as can be ascertained, all variations in the orthography of names have the authority of those in connection with whose records they are found. H. G. J.

The steps taken by Governor Carleton in calling this assembly are detailed in his letter of October 25, 1785, to Lord Stanley in the Colonial Office at London: "My Lord, I have the honor to inform your Lordship that having completed such arrangements as appeared to be previously requested, I directed writs to issue on the 15th instant for convening a General Assembly to meet on the first Tuesday in January next. In this first election it has been thought advisable to admit all males of full age who have been inhabitants of the province for no less than three months to the privilege of voting, as otherwise many industrious and meritorious settlers, who are improving the lands allotted to them but have not yet received the King's Grant, must have been excluded. … The House of Representatives will consist of 26 members, who are chosen by their respective counties, no Boroughs or cities being allowed a distinct Representation. The county of St. John is to send six members, Westmorland, Charlotte, and York four members each, Kings, Queens, Sunbury and Northumberland, each two members.

  • William Marsh, 'A Rather Shadowy Figure
    William Marsh, ‘a rather shadowy figure,’ crossed boundaries both national and political Vermont holds a unique but little-known place in eighteenth-century American and Canadian history. During the 1770s William Marsh and many others who had migrated from Connecticut and Massachusetts to take up lands granted by New Hampshire Governor Benning Wentworth, faced severe chal- lenges to their land titles because New York also claimed the area between the Connecticut and Hudson rivers, known as “the New Hampshire Grants.” New York’s aggressive pursuit of its claims generated strong political tensions and an- imosity. When the American Revolution began, the settlers on the Grants joined the patriot cause, expecting that a new national regime would counter New York and recognize their titles. During the war the American Continental Congress declined to deal with the New Hampshire settlers’ claims. When the Grants settlers then proposed to become a state separate from New York, the Congress denied them separate status. As a consequence, the New Hampshire grantees declared independence in 1777 and in 1778 constituted themselves as an independent republic named Vermont, which existed until 1791 when it became the 14th state in the Ameri- can Union. Most of the creators of Vermont played out their roles, and their lives ended in obscurity. Americans remember Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys and their military actions early in the Revolution. But Allen was a British captive during the critical years of Vermont’s formation, 1775-1778. A few oth- ers, some of them later Loyalists, laid the foundations for Vermont’s recognition and stability.

  • Small Arms in the Canadian Department 1
    B: SMALL ARMS IN THE CANADIAN DEPARTMENT 1 Ordnance reports prepared in the Canadian Department often organized small arms returns in three categories: 1) those that were immediately Serviceable and available for issue; 2) those that were moderately damaged and Repairable and 3) those that were Unserviceable and only useful for the cannibalization of parts. Of course, the Armourers could take parts from Unserviceable muskets and use them to repair others and then return them to the Serviceable category. So, over time, small arms moved from Repairable and Unserviceable into the Serviceable category. Rather than clumping all the Serviceable arms into one total, at times they were listed as having iron or wooden rammers or as being British, French or Dutch in origin. At other times, Ordnance listed Serviceable arms in even more precise categories, such as New Pattern, Old Pattern, Short and several Sorts; however, we are left to surmise what constituted ‘New Pattern’ versus ‘Old Pattern’. Was it as simple as Short Lands versus Long Lands? Or, muskets with iron rammers versus those with wooden? Alan Guy in his landmark book, Oeconomy and Discipline wrote, The Board of Ordnance supplied a regiment with its firelocks and bayonets. The regiment was accountable to the Board for the weapons it had received and it was insisted upon that, when it was reduced, surplus firearms should be returned to store and the Ordnance value paid for those missing or ruined, the exceptions being weapons lost or damaged on active service for which proper vouchers could be submitted, and (in practice) those worn out by the passage of time… The routine repair of firelocks was chargeable to the [regiment’s] non-effective fund.
