No. ADMIRAL SIR ISAAC COFFIN, BART. An Address delivered before the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, October 8, 1885. By Thomas C. Amory. (With Portrait.) The name of Coffin is so widely spread over our continent, so many thousands of men and women of other patronymics take pride in their de- scent from Tristram, its first American patriarch, that what concerns them all, any considerable branch or distinguished individual of the race, seems rather history than biography. Space forbids my repeating here, as I well might wish, all that has been recorded of their history. It would fill volumes and exhaust your patience. What sheds light on Sir Isaac and his immediate progenitors is too ger- mane to my subject to be wholly overlooked. To trace back Tristram to Alwington, follow his fortunes from Plympton in old England to the Mer- rimack in the new, bring his chequered career to its honored close at Nan- tucket ; to pay due homage to his son James, the upright judge ; to his son Nathaniel, the dauntless master mariner, and his wife, Damaris Gayer, the eloquent preacher ; to their son William, the much-loved merchant of Boston, senior warden of Trinity ; to his son, another Nathaniel, graduate of Harvard and Yale, King's treasurer, and father of Sir Isaac— six gene- rations with Tristram of admirable men, with much to praise and little to censure, is our legitimate purpose, so far as our limits prescribed will permit, before proceeding to our more immediate subject. Though unlike in character, and of very different experiences from his ancestors. Sir Isaac was too remarkable a man to pass into oblivion. His long life, commencing in 1759 ^^ Boston, and ending eighty years later in Cheltenham, England, was crowded with events, many of historic impor- tance. By his native vigor,' doughty deeds, and eminent services he rose to distinguished rank in the British navy, became captain of a line-of-battle ship at the age of twenty-two, and was created a baronet at the age of forty- four. This not from large means, family influence, or court favor, but that his character and conduct afloat and ashore entitled him to such prefer- ment. Throngs of heroic officers won glory in the same wars that he did, 2 Admiral Sir Isaac Coffiji, Bart. [Jan., • attracted attention by more conspicuous achievements ; but his fearless daring, zeal, and ability, and what he accomplished, inscribes his memory high up on the roll of honor, if not on the scroll of fame. How far life and character are molded by circumstances, how far by heredity, is a complicated problem, and the horoscope is too largely affected by maternal influences for these to be disregarded. Though bearing all the marks of his paternal stock, Sir Isaac doubtless owed something to the blood mingling in his veins from other sources, and it has been my endeavor to discover these infusions where I could, and, in one instance, should be preserved for the criticism of coming genealogists—a supposed link that may be of use. Nicholas, father of Peter and grandfather of Tristram, has been re- garded as their most remote paternal ancestor ascertained. According to tradition their line was an offshoot of Alwington, but how, continued a puzzle. Many years ago I bought an old edition of Collins, 1758, and while seeking some other information, my eyes fell on the name of Peter Coffin, who about 1560 married Mary, fourth daughter of Hugh Boscawen.

President’s report With the melting of the snow, the foundation of the Sir John Johnson burial vault, located on the slopes of Mount Johnson, (now renamed Mont St. Grégoire), is again visible and we turn our thoughts to its restoration. Our Vault Committee has worked diligently, with la Société de restauration du patrimoine Johnson, for many years toward the time when reconstruction could begin. Last fall with an agreement on the ownership of the land, the parcel set aside for vault was delineated and we had it surveyed. This spring the Vault Committee and la Société de restauration du patrimoine Johnson prepared a detailed, joint proposal describing the vault, a timetable for rebuilding and preliminary cost estimates http://www.uelac.org/SirJohnJohnson/vault/2011/03/ . This was presented at the March 5th Dominion Council with a proposal that it be made a UELAC centennial project.

OTTAWA PRINTED FOR '^HE ROYAL SOOIETY OB' CANADA, 1909 — Section II., 1908. [123] Trans. R. S. C. IV. History of the Queen's Rangers. By James Hannay, D.C.L. (Read May 26, 1908.) I. Of the forty or more battalions of Loyalists which enlisted in the service of the Crown during the Eevolutionary war, none has been so widely celebrated as the Queen's Eangers. This, no doubt, is partly due to the fact that they found a historian in Lieut.-Col. Simcoe, their com- manding officer, who wrote a book to chronicle their achievements; yet after making all allowance for this advantage, it must be admitted, with- out detriment to the other Loyalist corps, that the Queen's Eangers ex- ceeded them all in length and variety of service. What the famous Light Division was in Wellington's Peninsular Campaigns. the Queen's Eangers became to the British army in America ; whenever there was an enterprise that demanded celerity and daring, the Queen's Eangers were selected for the service, if they happened to be at all near the place where it was to be performed. Their six years of active service in the war made them veterans, and their peculiar organization enabled them to ac- complish feats which would have been quite beyond the power of an ordinary battalion of the line.

SAMUEL PROVOOST, FIRST BISHOP OF NEW YORK.* AN ADDRESS TO THE GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. By Gen. Ja.s. Grant Wilson. [With a Portrait of BishoJ> Provoost.) Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen : " It is a pleasing fancy which the elder Disraeli has preserved, somewhere, in amber, that portrait-painting had its origin in the inventive fondness of a girl, who traced upon the wall the iirofile of her sleeping lover. It was an outline merely, but love could always fill it up and make it live. It is the most that I can hope to do for my dear, dead brother. But how many there are—the world-wide circle of his friends, his admiring diocese, his attached clergy, the immediate inmates of his heart, the loved ones of his hearth—from whose informing breath it will take life, reality, and beauty." These beautiful words are borrowed from Bishop Doane, of New Jersey, who used them as an introductory paragraph in a memorial of one of Bishop Pro- voost's successors, Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright.

CLARKE PUBLISHING COMPANY SPOKANE CHICAGO PHILADELPHIA 1411104 iti.fa*. <§rafmm ^Barclay ©enms ONTINUOUS progress has characterized the career of Graham Barclay Dennis. His intellect early grasped the eternal truth, that industry wins, and in- dustry became the beacon light of his life. What- ever he has undertaken has found him determined in execution and watchful of all opportunities pointing to legitimate success, and today he is prominently connected with most important corporation and business interests, being numbered among Spokane's capitalists. He was born in London, England, June 1, 1855, his parents being Mendenhall John and Sophia Den- nis. His father, also a native of London, was a man of most liberal education and scholarly attainments, having been graduated from Oxford and Heidelberg Universities. He was a linguist of notable powers and his life was largely devoted to the work of the Presby- terian ministry. His wife was German descent and during the early boyhood of their son Graham, they came with their family to the United States, first to Boston, Massachusetts, and finally settling in Cincinnati, Ohio. Graham B. Dennis pursued his education in the public schools of the latter city until he reached the age of fourteen years, when he began learning the more difficult lessons in the school of experience. He was employed in both Cincinnati and in Dayton, Ohio, but a brief period sufficed to indicate to him how valuable is education as a factor in success.
