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.

  • The Colonel by Marcus R. Cimino for Generations, Chief Justice John Jay
    The Colonel By Marcus R. Cimino For generations, Chief Justice John Jay and his descendants fought tooth and nail to abolish slavery in the United States. Jay’s son Peter Augustus Jay, and his youngest son William Jay, both were publicly and ideologically opposed to slavery. When America the Civil War began, Colonel William Jay (also known as “the Colonel”) represented the Jay’s honorably; not only in his civic duties, but also to finish what his ancestors started, and rid the nation of slavery once and for all. The Jay’s estate in the Hudson Valley, which had been passed down for five generations, tells a tale of some of the less recognized of John Jay’s descendants, among them is the Chief Justice’s grandson Colonel William Jay. “The Colonel” is an illusive character, and documentation on his life is hard to come by, but the historians in charge of the Jay’s estate at Bedford compiled as much as they could on the Colonel through letters and archives, telling the tale of a life that seemed affluent, as well as fortified by the generational success of his ancestors. Although Jay was blessed with his family’s legacy, and justly earned his rank in the military, his immediate family was devastated by illness and death at a time when medicine and physicians lacked behind the advancement of the rest of post-Civil War America. Colonel William Jay embraced the Jay tradition of public servitude, family values, and the overall end of slavery. Unlike his ancestors, William witnessed the abolition of slavery via the thirteenth amendment.
