DEL A'F IE L D

The name variously written de la ffelde, Delafeld_and Delafield, is of Norman origin and ia found in England soon after the conquest. In Latin documents it was often spelled de ffelda. Though the spelling de la ffelde was the usual form until nearly the end of the fourteenth century it is interesting that the pro­ nunciation of the name ,vas then the same as it is· .today; for the

nen in the E~gliah word "feld" was always a long ne 6 • Though the spelling has changed, the spoken name has not ch.anged._ Richard de la ffeld, first mentioned circa-li96-98, ances­ tor of the English and American family; received from.King John in 1201 large grants of land in Ireland .. A few:years .earlier he had bought other lands in county Dublin from one of the Irish ohieftains1 Dermot son of Gillemaholmoc. Part of his possessions in Ireland were named Glynsu.rd and these subsequently- (about 1350) became known as Feldeston which finally was written Fieldstown. This name oxiginally meant the enclosed or fortified Manor of the de la ffeldes. Richard de la ffelde settled in Ireland, where his services were required by the orown in connection with the Excheq­ uer. He is once referred to as "the Queen's servantn. Th~ prop­ erty at Glynsurd or Feldeaton passed first to his oldest son, Nicholas and then to Henry a son of one of Nicholas' brothers and remained the property of hie descendants until after the middle of the fifteenth century when it passed to the Barnewalls of Trimels­ town through the marriage of the only child and heiress of John Delafield. During the thirteenth century• the holdings of the family were increased and the Manors of Wimbleton, Knightstown, Skyd~th, Culduffe, Ballymolthan and Painstown were added to the lands already

owned by its members. Several of these Manors were held by younger sons and their desoendants who settled and became powerful land­ owners in variou.s parts of Dublin, Meath and Louth. William de la ffe~de, or Delafeld, a member of this family and an attorney-at-law, removed to· Buckinghamshire, England.I about 1370 and founded the family there. The rec·ord of his denization appears in the Patent

Rolls~for the eighteenth year of Richard II (1394). One of his descendants in the thirteenth generation was l. JOHN 13 DELAFIELD, oldest son of John 12 and Sarah. {Goodwin) Delafield, born at his father•s·reaidence in 62 White­ cross Street, St. Giles without Cripplegate, London, on the 9th of June, 1718. Soon after coming of age he was made free of the

Leathersellers Company by patrimony, the date of the entry being the 19th of October, 1742. This company was one of the principal -guilds of the city of London. His father had joined it many years before, and he was admitted by right of his father's membership. He was a merchant in London and continued to hold the then very profitablewater works which supplied the town of Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire with its water. He married Martha, the ~aughter of Jacob Dell of Aylesbury, and Susannah, his wife, at Aylesbury in June, 1747. She was born on the ninth of March 1719. They had seven children: 2. John Delafield, born 16 March, 1748, an account of· whom

follows.

3. Joseph Delafield, born 14 May, 1749, of whom hereafter. Martha Delafield, born 29 June, 1750, married on the 6th of April, 1779, William Arnold of Slatswood, Isle of Wight, collector of customs at Cowes, son of

Matthew Arnold of Lowestofft. One of her child­ ren, Lydia married the Earl of Cavan. Another was the celebrated Thomas Arnold, master of Rugby, father of Matthew Arnold and grandfather of Wu-s.

1757. She lived most of her life with her sister., 11artha Arnold, in the Isle of Wight. She died un­ married on the 14th of November, 1836 • • Sarah Delafield, born at Aylesbury, September 13th, 1758,

and buried at the same place on the 7th of July, 1768. John Delafield, the father, died 9 March 1763, and was buried under the chan_cel of the Church at Aylesbury on the 16th of March, 1763. Hi"s wife had died on .the 26th November 1761 and was buxied at the same place on _the 27th of November, 1761. In the Cathedral Church at Aylesbury, there is a m-t.U:al tablet, formerly in the Lady Chapel but now over a side door, made in the form of drapery affixed to an oval of black veined marble. At the top of this is a shield with the arms sable a. cross flory or, and then follows the ~nscription To perpetuate the memory of JOF.li DELAFIELD Citizen·of London, and of MARTHA DELAFIELD his wife daughter of Jacob Dell of this town. 4 He died 9 March 1763 aged 43 She died 26 November, 1761 aged 42. The misstatement of John Delafield's age is curious. It should have been 45. The entry of his burial reads as follows: 1763 "John Delafield, gent. of St. Gylea's Criplegate, London, was buried on Wednesday the 16 of March. He was buried in the Chancel on the North eide.n 5

He also brought letters of introduction to the principal citizens of New Yoxk and those of Boston and Philadelphia. He also had letters to English officers stationed in New York some of whom he had known in England and who vouched for his identity. He was admitted as a citizen of the United States by an act of the legislature May 4, 1784 and as a freeman of the city, June 16 of the same year.

In 1794 he be­ came one of the founders and a member cf the first board of trustees of the Tontine Coffee Rouse. On February 1, 1796 he was a founder and one of thirty-nine New York capitalists to subscribe ten thou­ sand dollars each to capitalize the United Insurctnce Company. He was made a director of the corporation and was subs·.equently elected president of the company, an office he held for many years. He was the pioneer marine underwriter_ in New York and became the head of the private underwr•i ters of the city; the war between France and England at the close of the eighteenth centuxy brought great 6 disaster on American shipping which loss fell heavily on New York. marine underwriters, W.i.r. Delafield paid his losses at the sacrifice of most of his fortune and the mortgaging of much of his real estate. His holdings were in New York, on Long Island and in the townships of Hague and Cam.bray in St. Lawrence county. In the summer of 1791 he purchased the Blackwell farm of one hundred and forty acres on the east bank of the East River opposite Blackwells Island where he built a large country residence. The place was named nsunswick", after a small river near by. It became one of the best kept country seats in the-neighborhood of New York and its flowers and fruits gained wide reputation. Physically .he was a tall man with a strong and active but slender figure. He had dark brown eyes and hair which he kept powdered after the fashion of ·the day and he was particularly neat and careful about his dress. Mr. Delafield died at No. 9 Pearl Street, New York City,. July 3, 1824; his remains were interred in Trinity Chuxoh burial ground at Hudson street; were removed to the vault of hie son John De~afield, St. Thomas' Church, Broadway and Houston Streets and in 1857 to the Delafield family vault in Greenwood cemetery.

4. JOHN 15 DELAFIELD, eldest son and child of John Delafield and Ann (Hallett) Delafield, w~ born in New York, January 22, 1786. He entered Columbia College, from which he was graduated in 1802, later becoming associated with the firm of Le Roy, Bayard and MoEvens, the greatest commercial house at that time in New -York City. Mr. Delafield was sent in 1803 as supercargo of a vessel loaded with flour to Lisbon. He afterwards went into shipping busi­ ness on his own account. In 1807 he sailed from Havana with a cargo of sugar on the bxig 8 Famen •. Stormy weather forced that vessel to seek refuge in the harbor of Corunna, Spain, just at the time the city was being attacked by the French. On the night of January 17, 1808, the French opened fire on the harbor, the.ship's cables were out and she put to sea, with a family of noble Spanish refugees in addition to the officers and crew. The provisions were short and the vessel in a leaky condition, but despite this, the Fame reached

. . London in safety, where Mr. Delafield settled and became a merchant and banker. He lived there from 1808 to 1820. During the war of 1812 he was held as a prisoner on parole. The influence of his uncle, Joseph Delafield, caused his bounds to be fixed as the city of London and fifteen miles around Uxbridge. The latter place was his country seat, wher·e he gratified his taste for agrioul tu.re. · In 1819 he suf­ fered reverses and returned to New York the following year. He was made cashier of the Phenix Bank, an office he filled until 1838, when he was chosen president. A short time after, he accepted the presidency of the New York Banking Company. The new post, however, involved him in disaster. Some·of the western states doing business with the bank repudiated their obligations, and.the institution was forced to suspend. Losing a large part of his fortune 12 for the second time, he turned his attention to agriculture and in 1842 purchased flQaklandsu near Geneva, New rork, where he spent the reet of his life. He made the place the model farm of New York state. A description of the farm is given in the nTranaactions" of the New York State Agricultural Society for 1847 (p. 200-211) of which he was president for several years. In addition he was the first president elected by the state ~o-ricultural college. He was among the earliest to urge the importance of a chemical analysis of the soil, scientific drainage and the va1ue and uses of various kinds of manure. Passionately fond of music, he became first president of the New York Philharmonic Society, and his house was its meeting place for several years. He was also active in ·obtaining funds for the founding of the New York University, and took. a large part in the· revival of the New York Historical Society. Personally he was of fine appearance five feet ten inches in height with dark brown hair and gray eyes. An intimate friend from childhood of Washington Irving, who used the incident of his financial losses in London as the ground work of the chapter in The .Sketch Book entitled "The Wife". Died at his farm 11 0aklands" near Geneva, Senec.a county,

. . New York, Octoper 22, 1853, and was buried.at Geneva. He left no . will· and no administration was had on his estate.

. 5. JOSEPH 15 DELAFIELD, second son and fourth child of John Delafield and Ann (Hallett) Delafield, was born in New York, August 22, 1790. His early years were passed in New York and at Sunswick, the country seat of his father. He recei~ed his preliminary educa­ tion at the private school of Reverend Mr. Smith in Pine street, New

York City and later at a school i.n Stamford, Connecticut. Some of his fellow students were Herman Le Roy, M. and J. Gouverneur, William Wilkes and William B. Astor. From Stamford he entered ~he school of Professor Davis at Yale, and at fourteen became a student at that college. He was gradµated in 1808 vvi th the degree of B. A. and be­ gan to read law in the office of Josiah Ogden Hoffman. On 29 Octo­ ber, 1811 he was admitted to practice in.the supreme qourt of the state of New York. He took full charge of the_ ~ffairs of the office, but his ac~ivitiea had already extended beyond the field of law. While a student, he had received a commission as lieutenant in the fifth regiment, first brigade, New York state militia. On · February 4; 1812, he was promoted to the rank of captain. Upon the declaration of war in the spring of that yea:r, he raised a f~ll com­ pany of volunteers from the city and the river counties and with these joined the command of Colonel Hawkins, whose regiment of volunteers were ordered to Sandy Hook. They·remained there one year. Then Captain Delafield with others recruited a regiment for the regular army known as the 46th Infantry and of which he was made major. One . of the first acts of the organizers was to obtain commissions from the national· government. This regiment was stationed at Govexnor•s Island and elsewhere near New York City. In 1817 he was attached to the commission appointe~ under the treaty of Ghent for the settle- · . ment of the northwestern boundary. He was appointed full agent under I cllidI

29. the 6th and ?th Articles of the treaty on the first January 1821, a post he retained until June, 1828. A difference arose between Messrs. Porter and Hawkins, the American Commissioners, with the result that Major Delafield had sole command of the work in the field. During this period he spent his summers on the northwestern border, establishing the line between St. Regis on the St. Lawrence and the Lake of the Woods. His famous collection of minerals was comm~nced during these expeditions. He passed his winters in New York and Washington. During his active career, he served as president of the Lyceum of Natural History of New York, later known as the Academy of Sciences, from 1827 to 1866; vestryman of Trinity Church; trus­ tee of the College of Physicians and Surgeons; of the Society Library; of the Eye a..~d Ear Infirmary, and at other institutions. In 1829 he purchased and laid out a farm of about ~vo hun­ dred and fifty acres between Spuyten Duyvil and Yonkers on the banks of· the Hudson, and named it Fieldeton after a family seat in Ireland. He built a lime kiln there in 1830, which was the fixst in this count:ry after the French model. In 1849 he built a summer home on this farm overlooking the Hudson river.

3. JOSEPH 14 DELAFIELD, the second son of John 13 and Martha (Dell) Delafield, was born at ~is father's house in 62 White­ cross Street, St. Giles without Cripplegate, London, on the-14th of May, l 749. He was left one· of a large family of orphans by the deaths of his mother in 1761 and his father in 1763, when.he was but fourteen years of age. Nothing is known about his early life and education, but it ie probable that he and his brothers and sisters lived a great deal at Aylesbury with their uncle John Dell, for he wr-ites of his uncle in terms of the highest esteem in several of the letters to his brother, John Delafield of New York, and in the same letters mentions loans he has repaid to him.

He took great interest in his family, his first known note about hie forefathers is found on the family Bible and is dated as early as 1771, even paying off the mortgages on the various properties they had owned for generations in Buckinghamshire~ He seems to -have . . started business in the great brewing house of Mr. Samuel Whitbread, an old friend of his father's and a native of Buckinghamshire. He was already the manager for Mr. Whitbread in 1783 and was greatly devoted to his business. He wrote many letters to his brother John, who had removed to New York in 1783; in one of these he describes the installation of Mr. Watt's new steam engine in the brewery in 1786; and in 1787 he gives a detailed account of the visit of the King and Queen and royal princes to the brewery. In the same year he joined with two others in purchasing the great brewery known as

Gifford' a Brewery. They paid upwards of two hundred thousand pounds ~--. for this brewery, an immense sum of money for t·hose days. Mr. Whit­ bread, his old friend and patron, was loath to have Mr. Delafield leave him. Be was with difficulty reconciled to the new enterprise •. It was at this time that Joseph Delafield had George Romney paint 4

& Company. On the 4th of January, 1790, Joseph Delafield married Franoea Combe, the sister of his partner, Harvey Christian Combe, and second daughter of Harvey Combe of Andover Han.ts, and his wife, Christian Jarman.
