E R ART P E HINE JOHN H N Y HOB S . TO MY COUSINS OF THE VARIOUS LINES OF DESCENT

The information contained in the pages of this f booklet has been gathered with the greatest di ﬁculty ,

for, as a people , we , Americans , have paid very little

attention to the memory of our lineage . The true worship of ancestors has come only with the Slow

growth of civilization , the early races of the world having neglected even the heaping of earth above

the grave to mark , at least for a time , the place of n burial . I behalf of Christianity , it may be said that the Church of Rome began , as early , perhaps , as the eleventh century , the faithful recording of the names of those who went through its various rites in the

way of baptisms , marriages and funeral ceremonies ;

and only by such records , or by the inscriptions of

chapel or cemetery , can we now justify researches extending back to the twelfth and thirteenth

centuries .

While , in the Middle Ages , there was , no doubt, considerable carelessness as to the record of date of

birth , great attention appears to have been paid to

listing children , legitimate and illegitimate , in the

strict order of infancy . In marriages , the date is as most carefully recorded , well as the place of birth

and the parentage of each of the contracting parties .

In the record of deaths , not only the date but the place of burial also are entered for the beneﬁt of posterity . The separation of the Anglican Church from that of Rome no doubt gradually brought in a certain con TO MY COUSINS

n dition of neglect, o part of the former, in such matters of record ; while the rude temples of worship an of the Puritans d of our early settlers , north and ff south , proved but indi erent places for the proper care of records of any sort.

As already stated, the family altars we erect to the loving memory of those who have passed before us are the growth of civilization ; they have been ﬁrmly established , at least in Europe , by the monumental and n solidity perma ency of places of worship , with their costly chapels , as well as by the solemnity and public celebration of the feasts of the Church and of the rites for the dead . In our colonial days , the puritanical simplicity of life soon swept away all u the tho ght of departed , as attests the poverty of n in monume t or stone the burial places of the times .

But whatever may be said in palliation, the fact remains that the American people , of a new race — upon the face of the earth unlike the disciples of

Confucius , venerable long before the time of our Christ — have been indifferent to the memory of the lines of their families ; and though some i nterest has been — aroused by our societies Colonial , of the Revolution no and of our Wars, concerted effort has , as yet, been made , by Society or by Legislature , to assure, for their descendants , the transmission of the records of those who pass in daily life The family Bible is neglected in its records , if it has not already gone out of fashion ; family portraits , in their antiquated frames and costumes , are, in mean shame , hidden in attics ; n f ffi and , in the present i dif erence to church a liation, little attention is paid to the solemn rites of religion . Th u ere are , however, neglects of m ch more serious nature, and I deem it proper to register them , with a view to their correction. In determination of dates , vi TO MY COUSINS many cemeteries have been carefully looked over for records of interments as well as monumental inscrip n tions ; and , while it has been distressi g to witness the freq uent want of care and attention to a tidy ap r n pea ance of the family plot, we must deeply lame t for those of our blood whose graves are not only unmarked by the most insigniﬁcant stone, but, at the same time , have completely lost, under stress of storm and years , even the slight mound of earth once carefully raised above the surface . n I order , therefore , to inculcate on their daily life some serious conceptions as to the Family Altar and the Worship of the Dead , I beg my cousins constantly “ to study the opening chapters of The Ancient City , P u n by stel de Coulanges, a work which has made upo me the most profound impression , and to which may be ascribed the labor of this compilation . i e As already indicated, this booklet s Simply a b gin n ning, a begin ning not so full of error as of omissio , ue d , in great measure, to want of information as to an the living, d to absence of record or monument as to the dead . Let us hope that the data thus labor iousl y gathered, will be ampliﬁed, from year to year, by those members of the Family who may early learn that the highest evidence of an extreme civilization and of hope in a future state, is the manifestation of some form of ancestral love and worship .

THE PESHINE FAMILY

IN EUROPE AND IN AMERICA

THE NAME PESHINE

N this side of the Atlantic the name P eshine Péchin . descends from Pierre Abraham , who, n n according to family traditio , had bee a com n missioned ofﬁcer of the French army , serving duri g n the reign of Louis XV, whe the inﬂuence of the

- i Marchioness de Pompadour was all powerful , n ’ the Seven Years War against Frederick the Great.

This war began in 1756, and in 1757 the French arms had already reached the Elbe . It is at this time that P hin m Pierre Abraham éc , the A erican ancestor, is supposed to have met his future wife, Penelope , 1 the only daughter of Peter Greve , a merchant of m Ha burg, and later , from November 23, 1759, to 21 1780 h A April , , a burgomaster of t e city . s to the

Christian name of the daughter of Peter Greve, family traditions are somewhat contradictory ; and while is Penelope generally accepted , some have mentioned m n the na es of Gabrielle, Pauline a d Sophie . It is in probable that, accordance with the usage of the Péchin n times , Madame bore several Christia names , Penelope being the one more commonly used in her

proper family . Penelope was a Protestant and her French husband

a Roman Catholic . Tradition asserts that in her i marr age she disobeyed her father and , consequently , h was disin erited . his Unable to take Protestant wife to France , where the Edict of Nantes was no longer in force , and where the law refused to recognize the marriage of a

Catholic with a Protestant, Pierre emigrated to i America, settling n New Jersey at Middletown

Point . Tradition no longer recalls the year in which Pierre h his i arrived wit wife in New Jersey , but it s sup to posed have been not later than 1763, year of the ’ termination of the Seven Year s War ; nor has there been handed down in the family any information as to the date and manner in which Pierre surrendered r his commission in the French se vice . He must have belonged to a family of superior social standing, for, a under the customs of the times , s the general in struction of the people was extremely limited , commis sions in the French army were granted by the king to the nobility only , or to those families possessed of large th landed estates . Unlike the English practice , e commission in France was awarded to the eldest son . i Pierre s described as a handsome man , of com manding and soldierly bearing, and of ﬁne manners .

Highly educated and a ﬁne linguist, he is said to have left manuscripts of his own handwriting in ten diff erent languages . He habitually passed his leisure in reading, writing and study . His children associ h ating wit the German and English settlers , spoke

English and German only , receiving no instruction in m l French. Penelope , his wife , spoke Ger an only .

Pierre left notes of his life history , and a sort of w h c diary , together it genealogical papers over ing claims to properties in France . These papers m h were , some ti e after his deat , unfortunately

destroyed by ﬁre , while in the possession of his son

John . 2 1778 On June 8, , date of the battle of Monmouth , d the N . J . (near Freehol ) , the Hessian and English troops , in their retreat to New York , looted the

Pechin residence and burned it to the ground . The

family ﬂed to Sandy Hook , sailing from there to h New York city . In the ﬂig t , tradition states , little

John , then some eight or nine years of age , became he separated from t family , and , taken prisoner by the

British , was carried to their headquarters in New W York city , here Sir Henry Clinton , in command , h ordered his restoration to his parents . The c ild was most kindly tre ated by t he British offi cers ; and

Sir Henry is said to have kissed him , addressing him “ fi ” as a ne , brave little fellow .

Pierre and his family remained in New York , he and his wife dying there before the close of the war of the Revolution (no known records) . Nothing is known at the present time as to the place and date of marriage of Pierre to Penelope ;

nor is there , as yet, any precise information as to the

family in France , save that Pierre had at least one 1 brother there , who at one time had planned to emigrate to America . The change of the name Pechin to the form Peshine may be explained as follows — — - — 1 ro e er E e e c u e em ra o e P éch in It is p babl that Philib t ti nn Ja q s B a Ant in , of re ( u e- r e) r ce son ro er th e son of Lang s Ha —t Ma —n .

n The soft oh and the nasal i n of the ame Pechin , as a matter of course , were of constant annoyance and of insurmountable difficulty to the English speaking community surrounding the Pechin family at Middle town Point, N . J and the name , in consequence , s became in time anglicized into Pe hine, a usage

ﬁnally adopted , without exception , by all the children of Pierre Abraham Pechin .

As far back as the fourteenth century , the name appears to have been spelled indiff erently Péchin or n Pé Pes Peschi , the syllable or having the pronuncia th tion of P ay. Indeed , in the records of e marriage of Gabrielle de la Tour (daughter of Jacquette du

P eschin) to Louis de Bourbon , Count de Montpensier, the Bourbons make use of the spelling Péchin while the de la Tour family employ the form hin P esc . The name Péchin or Peschin appears to have come or from certain feudal estates , from a district of h France known , by such name , to the in abitants of l the surrounding country . The fami y , or at least a the branch of family , bore , very early in the four teenth century , the surname of Brun , to which the the du designation of feudal estates , Pechin or du was P eschin, commonly added . In time the name of u P hin d e Brun was lost, the d éc or u P schin only being used . In the Middle Ages there was no academic orthog r was raphy , and the art of w iting possessed by the very few only . It is well known that the letter 3 in Southern France and particularly in old Navarre , w l had , in those days as el as now , a sound of sh; c and this fact, no doubt, was the ause of other r departures , in spelling, f om the accepted form e hin i of Péchin or P sc . It s very certain that THE NAME PESHI NE

in l - Hol and were off Shoots of the parent stem , du P in P i éch or du esch n. n O the other Side of the Atlantic , in France , some preliminary research has been made as to the name Péchin , and much valuable information has been “ obtained . This introductory work has been conﬁned to a more or less limited and incomplete examination of the genealogical treasures contained in the world

famous Bibliotheque Nationale at Paris . The Min istr as y of Justice and Worship , well as the Ministry ff of War, undoubtedly o ers considerable data upon Péchin the family and its services to the State . It is

probable also that there are , at Langres , Haute

Marne , surviving members of the line ennobled by Louis " VIII in 1825 (undoubtedly the main and only existing line in France at the present day) ; but thus

THE BALL FAMILY

New n Jersey duri g the course of the Revolution , as “ Cousin , and that he had fully recognized the rela i nshi h t o p . This relationship as been further conﬁrmed S by Hetty Mulford Ball Robinson ( ister of Prussia) . In conversation with her nieces (one of whom was a e Cruet, daughter of Frederic Gru t and Jane Ball and wife of Joseph Donovan , formerly of No . 457 Mary

St Elizabeth , N . Mrs . Robinson declared that her mother (Esther Mulford Ball) often referred to cousin George Washington, and that her grandfather

(Jonathan Mulford) , during the Revolutionary period and thereafter, would frequently mention to his ‘‘ hi ” daughter, Esther, that he had met s Cousin George w at such place or at such time , thus Sho ing that the Virginia and New Jersey branches of the Ball family acknowledged a mutual ancestor. In order that all possible information as to the Balls d may be preserved for posterity , the chil ren of 19 M Ezekiel Ball (b . no record ; T Dec . , and ary 1 as Jones (b . no record ; T Mar . 21 , 18 0) are given follows :

33 THE MULFORD FAMILY

HE records of the Mulford Family are , un not m fortunately , very co plete, but the line can be traced back to the latter half of the t ‘ six eenth century . We ﬁnd that Lion Gardiner

(lieutenant of engineers in the English army ; b . 1599 ; T the great hero of the Pequot war and n especially disti guished at Saybrook Fort, which he ma built and com nded , married , while on duty in charge u n of constr ction of importa t works in Holland , ilemson Mary W (b .

We ﬁnd n record of the mother of Jeremiah Conklin ; but it is established that his daughter, Mary Gardiner Conklin , married m Thomas Mulford , son of Willia Mulford by his wife , h Sara Akers .

Esther Conklin appears to have been a very distant d n cousin of Jonathan Mulfor , for Ananias Co klin

m . was a great, great grandfather , co mon to both ’ Esther s descent may be traced as follows : Ananias I 1 n Conklin , Cornelius Conklin , Cornelius Co klin II ,

Cornelius Conklin III . Cornelius Conklin III , her father, married Deborah Mulford . Esther, therefore ,

- i was a great, great grand daughter of Lion Gard ner. 2 u Capt . Jonathan M lford had , by Esther Conklin , children as follows :

ENGLISH LINE

HE English line of the Pye Family was repre 1 1 sented , in May , 9 3, by Miss Elizabeth Pye , 1 of East End House , Pinner, Middlesex ,

m - England . Miss Pye , then so e eighty one years , or

more , of age , was the only living grandchild of the a poet laureate of England , Henry James Pye , p in pointed , 1790, by George III . Henry James Pye , n who, u doubtedly , at the time , represented the main

line , married twice , having; by his ﬁrst wife , two

daughters . These daughters married , their husbands r bea ing respectively the names of Arnold and Jones .

By the second wife , there were two sons , Henry John

and Walton , and a daughter . Henry James Pye

- died at the age of sixty three years. Henry John ,

- the ﬁrst son , read law ; married at twenty three ; and

became a magistrate . He had a son , Henry John h Charles , and three daug ters (one , Miss Elizabeth , of

Pinner) . There are several great grandchildren m living. Walton , the second son , beca e a barrister. h The Englis line is traced back some centuries .

Its founder was , no doubt, one of the feudal barons of England . The family , until the civil wars , was

prominent and wealthy , and even of the nobility . In the time of Charles I and Cromwell , it still possessed

great landed estates in Leicestershire . One Pye

married a Lord Crewe ; a Miss Hampden , of the cele

l r l n h e o o r e er R o e Pinne is a sma l to wn o t L nd n and No th W st n ailway , s m l r thirteen mi es f om London .

59 THE PYE FAMILY brated family of that name , married a Pye . Another 11 Pye , in time of Charles , owned Killpeck Castle in

Herefordshire .

East End House , the residence of Miss Elizabeth

Pye , was purchased by the poet laureate in the time of and n b George III , e larged y him . Henry John , the

ﬁrst son of the poet, once owned a large country seat, l C ifton Hall , in Leicestershire . This had been known , for some generations , as one of the landed estates of the Pye family ; it eventually passed into other hands .

There is , it is said , in Leicestershire , a small 1 n cathedral , havi g a chapel in which Pye tombs and the family crest are conspicuous . The chapel pos f sesses a complete history o the Pye line .

AMERICAN LINE

In the belief of Miss Elizabeth Pye , the Pye line in the United States descends from a collateral branch of the family of the poet laureate , the mutual ancestor dating back to the reign of George II or even further. The American line appears to have had its origin 2 in the emigration (about 179 ) from Birmingham , 2 Warwickshire , of the Pye brothers , four in number, n it is said : Thomas , William , He ry and John , one

(perhaps Henry) settling in Georgia . However nd m this may be , we ﬁ records of Tho as and John

ing Japan and Peru to the verge of war . In arbitra i tion of the matter, all letters , papers and br efs Peshine on part of Japan were prepared by E .

Smith and placed before the arbitrator, the Emperor 17 Alexander II , of Russia, who, at Ems, May

1875 , approved and conﬁrmed the seizure as of right 2 under the law of nations , thus ending the infamous

traffic in coolies . P shine At the suggestion of E . e Smith many of the young nobility of Japan were sent abroad for instruction in the great universities of the world . s i E . Pe h ne Smith , notwithstanding his years of

public service , was perhaps more widely known as

an editor and inﬂuential writer, conducting at various times the policies of j ournals of great circulation and — ff power ; as the Albany Journal , the Bu alo Com m r i e c al Advertiser, the Rochester Democrat and the

Washington Republican . “ His work on Political Economy (1853) is regarded as a landmark in the ﬁeld of such literature ; it is constantly consulted and quoted by the writers of the

SUGGESTIONS FOR RESEARCHES

IN THE U NITED STATES

N this side of the Atlantic every known de scendant of Pierre Abraham Pechin should be sought out and personally interviewed as to family traditions . There are undoubtedly many de scendants yet living in Brooklyn , N . Y . , with a Peshine collateral branch (J . Smith) in Spencerport, Peshi s n . . ne N . Y . A bra ch (E A ) resided some year Y r ago in Fulton , N . . ; but no t ace of this family can be found . n h s Old New York and Brookly c urches , as well a

raveyards and cemeteries , might furnish somevalu g — able data ; from records or from tombstones . So, as searches in the churches and cemeteries, well as in the Court House records , should be made at and near Middletown , Middletown Heights and Middle town Point, N . J . An attempt should be made to trace the line of the

Clifford family .

Efforts should be made , from time to time , to ﬁll up omissions of names and dates in the various trees, and to keep them corrected from year to year.

IN EU ROPE

In Paris, a French expert in genealogical research Should be employed ; one more or less familiar with ationale is the Bibliotheque N . It desirable to ﬁll up ,

- if possible, the two gaps now existing : 1466 1547 ; — 1 2 n and 1575 (approximately) 8 5. Exami ations should 92 SU GGESTIONS FOR RESEARCHES

be made in the Ministry of Justice and Worship , as well as in the Ministry of War ; in the former, to determine what papers or documents were ﬁled in 1 2 8 5 , or previously , under the application of Claude — . Marie Nicolas Pechin for letters patent of nobility ; in n and the latter, to ascertain , if possible , the origi the status of Pierre Abraham Péchin in the Seven ’ Th Years War. e records of the Ministry might

Show other Pechins in the French service , especially n during the nineteenth ce tury . Similar examinations n might be made in the Ministry of Mari e . A more or less broken line of descent may be traced by the presence here and there of a common name or names , showing that one or more of those well beloved in family traditions have had the green of memory constantly refreshened by the waters of the baptismal font . With the Pechins of the Middle l n Ages and with the a lied branches , we find amo g the favorite names those of Bernard , Jacques , Gilbert and Pierre . Bernard is ever present in the de la n i e Tour li e ; while Jacques , Baron du Peschin, s on of the first of the name to have been distinguished by the favor of the Royal Family . The name is repeated u by Louise, fifth child of Jacquette (or Jacqueline) d

Peschin, for her second son . The name of her mother, Jacqueline (the feminine of Jacques) , is bestowed by Louise upon her second daughter. In n the Bourbon line , we find the name, Jacques , give to the nephew of the husband of Gabrielle, third child and first daughter of Jacquette du Peschin. i Gilbert s the name of the first child of Guillaume, Baron du Peschin; and this is again brought to

ﬁ - memory by Gabrielle for her own rst born. Pierre is the name of the ﬁrst son of Jean ne du Peschin; and n the ame is common enough in the Bourbon line .

93 SUGGESTIONS FOR RESEARCHES

ﬁn Coming down to 1547, we d the name , Gilbert, hi T e renewed in Gilbert du Pesc n. h eighteenth cen tury off ers the names Of Bernard and Jacques in Philibert Etienne Jacques Bernard Antoine

Péchin. In the grandchildren of Pierre Abraham hi n n n Péc n, the i etee th century continues the memory n of Pierre (Peter) a d Gilbert . The records and cemeteries at Langres (Haute

Marne) should be examined . The descendants there of the two daughters of Claude — Marie — Nicolas Pechin should be looked up with a view to securing from them traditions or records .

Old churches and records , and chapel or cemetery monuments of the various places referred to in the l foregoing pages might be inspected , particu arly those churches or convents mentioned as having been n e founded by the Pechi family ; . g Bouchet, Goute ’ - Ai e er noutouze, Montrond and Saint Louis d gu p se.

In the search for ancestors , attention might be given to changes in the spelling of the name back in w the Middle Ages , when reading and riting were conﬁned to a handful of the population . For example, 16 4 le in Holland , shortly after 0 , Marie Mahieu , of a

Brabant family , widow of Jean de Lannoy , married a ‘ Jean Pesyn. As 3, in the south of France , has an sh es n sound , this P y may be found to belong to the hin m branch of the Péc fa ily , which is known to have 2 settled in Holland . A portrait (No . 1 18) of Marie le Lei sche L en al in Mahieu is in the d ak h Leiden , Hol land .

An expert in Holland should be employed . “ ie In the Armorial Général , by J . B . R tstap , already mentioned , we ﬁnd :

Hamburg. If the record of the marriage of Penelope Greve ff can be found at Hamburg, it may a ord information as to the parentage of Pierre Abraham Péchin.

An expert in Hamburg should be employed . Some research as to the Pyes in England might prove o f interest. The College of Arms should be consulted ; and the churches of Leicestershire should be carefully examined .

Some investigation might be made in Russia . It is chi possible that the brother of Pierre Abraham Pé n, m r the brother who, it is said , had planned to e ig ate n u to America, ﬁ ally concluded to settle in R ssia. At 17 this time , 63, the Empress Catherine was all powerful and sought to develop her country by the most liberal concessions to all foreigners of instruc n tio and ability . i It is known that on the banks of the river Upa, n the province of Tula (borderi ng and directly south of the province of Moscow) , Russia, there is situated a great country seat of some eleven thousand acres , n dati g from the time of Catherine . This estate, now a country seat and hunting establishment of the i nif Grand Duke Nicolas N colaiévitch , contains a mag i nt ce residence, erected by a famous architect of the n n eightee th century . This property has always bee

n n an - n n k ow , d is to day k own , as the Pershi o estate , n the ame Pechin having been given, no doubt, a ’ n e Russia form , i . . , if the theory that Pierre s u brother went to Russia be found , after d e investi

i n - gat o , well based . n d An investigation , by a Russia expert, at Petrogra or in Tula, might afford curious revelations .
