"Amiable" Children of John and Sarah Livingston Jay by Louise V
The "Amiable" Children of John and Sarah Livingston Jay by Louise V. North © Columbia's Legacy: Friends and Enemies in the New Nation Conference at Columbia University and The New-York Historical Society, Dec. 10, 2004 Sarah Jay wrote her husband [Oct. 1801]: "I have been rendered very happy by the company of our dear children . I often, I shd. say daily, bless God for giving us such amiable Children. May they long be preserved a blessing to us & to the community." Who were these 'amiable' children, and what were they like? The happy marriage of John and Sarah Jay produced six children: Peter Augustus, born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, in 1776; Susan, born and died in Madrid after only a few weeks of life, in 1780; Maria, born in Madrid in 1782; Ann, born in Paris in 1783, William and Sarah Louisa, born in NYC in 1789 and 1792 respectively. As you can see by the birthplaces of these children, their parents played active parts on the stage of independence, doing what needed to be done, wherever it needed to be done, at the end of a colonial era and the birth of a new nation. John Jay held a greater variety of posts than any other Founding Father, posts he insisted he did not seek but felt it his duty to his country to assume. Sarah Livingston Jay, brought up in a political household, was a strong support to her husband, astutely networking with the movers and shakers of the time (as a look at her Invitation Lists of 1787–1788 shows). -

The Bar of Rye Township, Westchester County, New York : an Historical and Biographical Record, 1660-1918
i Class JHlS ^ Book_t~Bii5_W_6 Edition limited to two hundred and fifty numbered copies, of which this is number .\ — The Bar of Rye Township Westchester County New York An Historical and Biographical Record 1660-1918 Arthur Russell Wilcox " There is properly no history, only biography." Emerson 8 Copyright, 191 BY ARTHUR R. WILCOX 2^ / i-o Ubc "ftnicftctbocftcr press, tKz\o aoch TO MY MOTHER THIS VOLUME IS LOVINGLY AND .VFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED — " Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser—in fees, expenses and waste of time. As a peacemaker, the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. Never stir up litigation. A worse man can scarcely be found than one who does this. Who can be more nearly a fiend than he who habitually overhauls the register of deeds in search of defects in titles, whereupon to stir up strife and put money in his pocket? A moral tone ought to be enforced in the profession which would drive such men out of it." Lincoln. Foreword This work, undertaken chiefly as a diversion, soon became a considerable task, but none the less a pleasant one. It is something which should have been done long since. The eminence of some of Rye's lawyers fully justifies it. It is far from complete. Indeed, at this late day it could not be otherwise; records have disappeared, recollections have become dim, and avenues of investigation are closed. Some names, perhaps, have been rescued from oblivion. -

Historic Wallpaper Fragment C. 1820-1830 Materials: Cotton Paper, Ink American
Historic Wallpaper Fragment c. 1820-1830 Materials: Cotton paper, ink American During the restoration of the Homestead in the 1960s, wallpapers dating to the first quarter of the nineteenth century were found in the Library. Four layers of wallpaper were discovered behind the earliest of the built-in bookcases, which is on the east wall. According to curator Lewis C. Rubenstein, the papers were obtained by cutting a hole in the wall from the other side (in the service hall) and removing a complete cross-section of plaster without disturbing the bookcase. The bottom layer of paper (c. 1801) is a green and white leaf pattern, which has been reproduced and installed in the Front Parlor. The second paper (c. 1805-1815), is the yellow and white hop flower pattern that is currently reproduced in the Dining Room. The third layer (c. 1810-1825) is a stylized pineapple or pine cone pattern printed in ochre, black, and white and is reproduced in the Hall. This top layer is a pillar print with an elaborate floral and foliate motif in black and green on a yellow ground; it can still be seen through cracks in wall behind the bookcase. All of the wallpapers are block-printed on sheets of paper that are made up of squares pasted together to form long strips. The section that was removed by the curator can be definitively dated to John Jay’s period of residence because there is a pencil inscription on one of the layers. On the underside of the top layer of paper, a pencil inscription reads: "John Jay, Esq./ Bedford" and "...Mr. -

Franklin and Jay
Franklin and Jay Imagine being in the Pennsylvania State House in Philadelphia on May 10, 1775, as the delegates of the Second Continental Congress gathered! So much had happened in recent months: the British Parliament had declared Massachusetts in a state of rebellion; Patrick Henry had delivered his stirring “Give me Liberty” speech; Paul Revere had taken his famous ride; and, on April 19, the Battles of Lexington and Concord had been fought, ending in the British retreat to Boston. The “extreme Urgency of the Business” (as William Livingston put it) saw the return of many of the members of the First Congress, men who had traveled many days over dusty, rutted roads to attend, leaving the comforts of home, staying in flea-ridden boarding houses unless they were lucky enough to be invited to stay with friends. Among the returnees were John and Samuel Adams, Richard H. Lee, John Dickinson, George Washington, and John Jay. New to the Congress was a man recently returned from England where he had resided many years, at first highly lauded, but more recently humiliated: Benjamin Franklin. While in England, his efforts on behalf of the American colonies had yielded only disappointment and failure. Now nearly 70, Franklin had lost his favorable view of the Mother Country. Congress quickly set to work; many committees were created, among them one to draft a petition to King George III. Appointed were John Dickinson and Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, John Jay of New York, Thomas Johnson of Maryland, and John Rutledge of South Carolina—all moderates. Franklin was the oldest, famous as a self-made man, author, scientist, and wit; Jay the youngest, known as a hard-working lawyer and a fine writer.
