The Bard Family History (Originally Published in Columbia University Quarterly, October 1941, Pages 222-241) (Reprinted with Permission ofThe Trustees ofColumbia University in the City of New York. All Rights Reserved) Documents of a Great Columbia Family AreNowatBard THE BARD FAMILY FELIX E. HIRSCH ALL sides, my dear son, you have sprung from respecta­ ble ancestors. Many, if not all your more immediate an­ 0 cestors were driven from their homes for their religious faith, the strongest evidence that can be given at this day that they were men of truth, virtue and honor." These are words of great family pride, but they do not seem unjustified to the impartial student of history. The man who wrote them more than a hundred years ago was William Bard, the great-grandson of Huguenot im­ migrants, and he addressed them to his only surviving son, John, with whom the male line of the family was to end. These five generations of the Bards gave to this country a large number of unusual personalities who combined to a rare degree Gallic charm and esprit with will power, vision and wisdom. Some of them have played a great part in the rise of Columbia University since the days of King's College. The University has never forgotten its deep obligation and perpetuates the name of the family in two appropriate places: in Bard Hall at the Medical Center and in Bard College at Annandale-on-Hudson. Only a few books of limited merit, but many fine articles have been written about various Bards, and they are also mentioned in innumerable other publications. At present, a new biography of Samuel Bard, the most famous member of the family, is in an ad­ vanced stage of preparation. But thus far nobody has dared to face the harder and, on the other hand, more rewarding task of writing a collective biography of the Bards. We look in vain for the author CoLUMBIA UNIVERSITY QUARTERLY, OcTOBER 1941 who might be willing and able to bring two centuries of family history, with all its ups and downs, together in a single volume, as James Truslow Adams did for the Adams family. Where is the writer who would aptly interpret the spirit prevailing among the Bards in five generations, would describe the intimate associations of these Huguenot descendants with Franklin, Washington, Ham~ ilton, and many other great men of their time, and would tell of the pioneer role they played in the progress of science, the propa~ gation of religion, and theeconomic development of this country? Such a book would add to our understanding of American social and cultural history and also offer us deeper insight into some problems that are today as burning as they were when the Edict of Nantes was revoked. The historian who intended to study the Bard family with these points in mind could not content himself with consulting the of~ ficial records in the institutions with which the Bards were closely connected. He would soon find out that the most relevant material for his task is not available in public or semipublic collections of the city, although, for instance, theNew Yark Historical Society, the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and the New York Acad~ emy of Medicine possess some interesting Bard documents. But the various branches of the family kept the papers of their famous ancestors out of sight. Only in 1938-39 this policy was in part reversed by the generous action of Mr. J A Sands, a great~great~ grandson of Dr. Samuel Bard. He turned his rich collection of family documents and pictures over to Bard College Library. Hav~ ing spent his youth in Annandale on an estate adjacent to the Col~ lege (then St. Stephen's), of which his father was a Trustee, and having been on intimate terms with its founder ,John Bard, he felt that this was the right depository for his treasures. For many years, Bard College Library has owned a large part of William Bard's fine personal book collection, and also has been happy to possess two volumes of Samuel Bard's lectures in manuscript and THE BARD FAMILY some other items that John Bard gave to his college. But the new treasures are overwhelming by comparison. Among them are offi~ cial documents indicative of the careers that some of the first Bards made here in the service of the English kings, and there are others that tell of the even greater achievements of their descend~ ants in the service of scholarship and humanity. Many dozens of deeds and other legal papers show the manifold financial and real estate transactions through which the family acquired its wealth in the eighteenth century. Included in the collection are also por~ traits ofseveral ofthe Bards, painted by Miriam Sandys from early originals. But, above all, here we have their most important per~ sonalletters, as they were passed from generation to generation. Apparently Dr. John Bard started to collect his family's letters in the middle of the eighteenth century, possibly when his son Samuel studied at Edinburgh; we find that he numbered some of them later on in his own handwriting. His grandson William seems to have made a new effort to bring the family correspondence to~ gethcr and to find out about the French origins of the Bards. The spirit in which this search was undertaken is defined in another passage of his letter to John Bard, from which we quoted before; To value ourselves in our ancestry, especially when unsupported by our own merit, and to show to others that we do so, by a proud and haughty air, is the sure sign of a little and trifling mind; while to feel that we owe it to ourselves, to those who have gone before us and to those who are to come after us, to leave unbroken the bright chain of honor of which we are a link, is the sign of a noble and generous one. ~nfortunately, some important parts of his collection were lost .In William Bard's own lifetime. His grandson Arthur Sandys •· ···• (~ands) reports that Jared Sparks when working on his American Bwgraphies appealed to his friend William Bard to let him see all .·the letters that Benjamin Franklin had written to Dr. John Bard in . ~he course of an intimate correspondence extending over half a · <.(rtury. Wilham refused at first, but finally gave in and sent him t tough his brother-in-law, John Me Vickar, a selection of the 19 CoLUMBIA UNIVERSITY QuARTERLY, OcTOBER 1941 Franklin letters-and did not get back a single item. The rest of the Franklin letters and also the correspondence of the Bards with Washington and Hamilton vanished in a great fire that destroyed a building in New York in which William Bard had kept part of his properties. After the very early death of his parents, Arthur Sandys was brought up in the house of his grandfather William Bard and was treated there like a younger son. He acquired a deep interest in the family history. In later life, Sandys traveled extensively in order to establish the genealogical facts about the origins of the Bards. For good reasons, the collection of the family papers was en­ trusted to him, and he did much to improve it. He also wrote, only tor his relatives, a short volume of reminiscences; it contains many interesting details, some of which have been used for this paper, and conveys to the reader the atmosphere of William Bard's home. This manuscript was presented to Bard College Library by his nephew Mr. ]. A. Sands a few months ago; it is a most welcome addition to the Bardiana collection. Gifts from other sources have also come in occasionally in recent times. It is hoped that some day those descendants of the Bards who still own family docu­ ments and letters will follow the example set by Mr. Sands. Bard College Library-located in Dutchess County where the Bards spent the happiest part of their lives and where now most of them rest from their labors-ought to be a suitable domicile for all their family papers. To give an indication of the scope and wealth of the Bardiana collection, it may be best to put a few of its choicest items before the reader. Some, perhaps, will interest him because they offer sidelights on historic events; others may appeal to him as docu­ ments of the human heart. "'\ X JHEN, in bygone days, we learned in school about the revo­ V V cation of the Edict of Nantes and its consequences, we felt that this was definitely a matter of a dead past; for' 'tolerance'' 20 THE BARD FAMILY had become the watchword everywhere. The times have changed, and once more persecution, migration, and eventual readjust­ ment of large groups are bitter faCts. Therefore we look today at the story of the Huguenots with renewed interest and deeper un­ derstanding. How did the first Bard who came to this country accommodate himself to the style of life in the New World? Peter Bard was born in Montpellier, but left his home country in earliest childhood. His father, Benoit, found a refuge for the family in England. Apparently he had friends in the court circles ofLondon and was able to pave the way for his son's later business career. In 1706 Peter Bard went to the Colonies. He had not been there long when he met, in New Castle (Delaware), the young daughter of the English physician Dr. Samuel Marmion who had come to this country only a few years before.

  • ITS IMPORTANCE in NEW YORK MED ICINE* PAUL CUSHMAN, JR. T HE Kissams Were a Large and Prominent Family In
    689 THE KISSAM FAMILY: ITS IMPORTANCE IN NEW YORK MED ICINE* PAUL CUSHMAN, JR. Department of Internal Medicine St. Luke's Hospital Center New York, N. Y. T HE Kissams were a large and prominent family in New York City during most of the I8th and I9th centuries. Although especially eminent in commerce and in law, they also played a number of interest- ing roles in the history of American medicine.' This communication will present some of the most noteworthy contributions which the early members of the family made either to the development of medical practice or to the evolution of medical institutions. The family has been traced to John Ockasson who arrived in Cow Neck, Long Island (Now Manhasset-Great Neck), in the late I7th century. Since he spelled his surname in a variety of ways-about I8 different versions are recognized in real estate documents2-it is im- probable that his origins will ever be established. His son, Daniel, succeeded to the family farm and established the "Kissam" spelling of the surname. In eight generations that followed (see accompanying figure) 27 descendants of Daniel either practiced medicine or set out to do so by entering school. Of these, all but three bore the surname Kissam. Twenty-two members of the family actually practiced medicine. The accumulation of such a large number of physicians in one family is unique in American medicine to my knowledge. Further, the tendency of the medical Kissams to concentrate in the New York City area is remarkable. Seventeen Kissams were actively engaged in the practice of medicine at one time or another in the New York City area.

  • Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1984 Vol, 36
    TRANSACTIONS OF SOCIETY OF ACTUARIES 1984 VOL, 36 SKETCHES OF EARLY NORTH AMERICAN ACTUARIES E. J. MOORHEAD ABSTRACT This paper undertakes to give dossiers of essentially all the actuaries who entered our profession in Canada or the United States up to about 1872. It includes those who died or left our profession before the Actuarial Society of America was formed in April 1889, and those who, in due course, became Fellows of that Society when or after it came into being. The paper also mentions some of the conditions under which the Actuarial Society was organized, and suggests that a yet fuller story of how our prede- cessors coped with circumstances and events of more than a century ago would be a desirable record to document. Felix qui potuit return cognoscere causas.---Virgil (Happy is he who has been able to search out the causes of things.) INTRODUCTION Those who consider it important that a profession understand its own beginnings will agree that this paper should have been written at least sixty years ago -- early enough so that the facts would have been readily obtain- able, yet late enough so that actions taken, or not taken, might be viewed dispassionately. Those who regard the lessons of the past to be worth study- ing will wish, as this chronicler does, to see more done than has here been undertaken by way of placing on record the major events and the turning points of the stormy period in which our pioneers lived. It may yet be possible -- perhaps as preparation for our centenary -- to set forth appraisals of how our professional ancestors tackled such thorny problems as gross versus net premium valuations, tontine dividend systems, and sharing dis- coveries and ideas in an era of widespread mistrust.

  • The Great Warden and His College
    CHAPTER Ill The Great Warden and His College Robert Brinckerhoff Fairbairn was Warden of St. Stephen's College for 36 years - from 1862 until 1898, a year before his death at age 81. He was styled the ''Great Warden''. by Thomas Richey, one of his predecessors, and that designation has continued throughout all of the College's history. The present-day college still gains a sense of Fairbairn's appearance and presence from the bronze bust of him which is above the mantel in the Presidents' Room of Kline Commons, and from the oil portrait hanging over the fireplace in the foyer of the President's office. In appearance Fairbairn was of slightly less than middle height, round, ruddy and of a stern visage. This sternness, however, was more that of dignity than of hardness. He was tender hearted and had delicate regard for the feelings and wishes of others. He was as devout as he was just, and abounded with kindness, self~sacrificing generosity, and refinement. 1 He was born in Greenwich Village, New York City, in 1818. His father, a Scotchman, was a modestly circumstanced book publisher and his mother a native of Poughkeepsie. After ordinary schooling and special training in the Mechanics school, he worked for three years in a book and stationery store, and then at the age of 16, decided to prepare himself for the ministry of the Episcopal Church. He started at Bristol College in Pennsylvania, and upon the demise of that institution he went on to Washington College (now Trinity) in Hartford, graduating with a bachelor of arts in 1840 at age 22.

  • Plans for the Williamsport Academy?
    Plans for the Williamsport Academy? Rev. William James Clark served Williamsport’s Christ Episcopal Church from October 11, 1846, to March 15, 1851. Located at Fourth and Mulberry Streets, the church was within a block of the Williamsport Academy, which was in severe financial difficulty and looking for a buyer. It appears from the fol- lowing August 1847 letter that Rev. Clark may have been considering purchasing this school that just a few months later became Methodism’s Williamsport Dickinson Seminary. Had Clark been successful, and if the property in question was indeed the failing Williamsport Academy, today’s Lycoming College might be an Episcopal institution. Early educational institutions in Williamsport developed as they did across the state – before there were mandated public schools, and when the local minister was usually the most educated person in town. The original Williamsport Academy building was erected in 1812 on the northeast corner of Third and West Streets. The state appropriated $2000 on the condition that poor children (not to exceed 5) be taught free of charge, and the remaining funds were raised by public subscription. It was managed by a board of trustees and the first principal was Rev. Samuel Henderson, pastor of the Lycoming [Newberry] Presbyterian Church. It functioned until Pennsylvania’s public school act of 1834 appeared to render it unnecessary. Beginning in 1835 the trustees rented old Williamsport Academy to the new public school system for $15 a year. But the city’s first venture into public education was a struggle, and in 1840 the Academy trustees decided to sell the property to John B.
