FOREWOnD

"We cannot live in the past, but the rich heritage of the past can help us to live in the present. 11

When returning to college in the Fall of 1905, an unknown fellow traveller showed me a gift for his daughter. It was a signet ring with hie family coat of-arme. My first visit to the college library resulted in my finding the Duryea coat-of-arms, and that ended my interest in family history.

During an automobile show in New York in 1909, Mrs. Randolph Bryan Grinnan (Martha Estelle Duryea) called at the Duryea exhibit and asked to speak to some one of the Duryeas. I happened to be there, and she instilled in me a determi nation to learn more about our ancestors, and we had a etimuiating correspond ence for a few years, but I loot interest when there seemed to be too many "dead ends" in the search.

In 1939, shortly after my father's death, M.i.ss Ruth M. Duryee wrote to my brother to inquire about our Duryea lineage. She and I had a voluminou£ and friendly exchange of letters, and we becam~ devo~ed "cousins" (seventh, once removed). It ic impossible to express my indebtedness to her for her infor mation on the early Duryea$ and Duryees; for her encouragement during the past twenty years; and for her interest in reading this manuscript (Note 70).

In spite of discouraging results in the Duryea search, I succeeded in com 11 11 11 11 pleting manuscripts on The Steer F1:1,mily and The Shryock L1ne ; and now I am convinced that the Duryea line is correct. In this manuscript I have included my father's mother's Turner line.

No attempt was made to collect data more recent than my generation, since the members of the younger generations prefer that their dates be omitted from publications.

In the text I have attempted to keep the actual lines as brief ae possible. The notes are numerous; some are voluminous; not all of them are dull! I have repeated some data from previous manusc:ripts in an effort to have a record of all of our known ancestors in one volume. Old wills and inventories fascinate me, and for that reason I have included many.

I could not help but live in the past as I mentally travelled with our an cestors in their migrations, and I endured with them their hardships of those pioneer years. This was particularly true of our ancestor, Wesley Duryea, who like Abraham Lincoln, was born in a log cabin, in 1809, in Kentucky, and set tled in Illinois.

In addition to Mrs. Grinnan (deceased) and Ruth Duryee, I am grateful to s

My father's sister, Mrs. Atina (Duryea) Nielson, for the records in the birthday book of her grandmother, Sarah Ann (Carver) Turner;

My father's uncle, WilliBrn Penn Turner (deceased), for his grandfather Starling Turner's Bible record; 4

My father's cousin, Mrs, Augustine (Turner) Ryan, and her daughter, Mrs. Pauline (Ryan) Anderson, for their assistance on the Turner line;

My second cousin, Mrs. Louise (Duryea) Brown, for her interest end valuable help on both the Duryea and Turner lines; end especially for tombstone records.

Mr. Harold T. Duryee (sixth cousin, once removed) who honored me by using 11 11 much of my materiel in his manuscript The Charles Duryee Family ;

Messrs. William P. V8 nAlstyne and Edward T. Langford for professional serv ices;

end other correspondents 11 ad infinitum" throughout the years.

In order to get the back~round of the Duryoas, I shall quote from a few sources. Louis P. DeBoer in October 1959 ,1rote me that& 11 The DuRieux fe:nily is of \'/alloon origin. 'I'ho ':lelloons or 3uallons were Gaulee, the race of Celts to which also the early Britons belonged, who by the Saxons were called 1 3uels 1 , or Welsh. Continental Gaul was, according to the distribution of its tribes (long before Julius Caesar's time) divided into three perts, of which the Northmost part was inhabit.ed by the Belgae. These Belgae are the direct ancestors of those Gauls, who by their Ger manic neighbors, the Dutch (i.e., Franke, Saxons and Frisians) were called 1 1:faelech' or 1:falloon. Up till about two centuries B. C, the mouth of the Rhine and the :-1euee, near Do rd rec ht Holland, was the Northern boundary of ~alloon territory. North of the Rhine mouth lived the Frisians end related tribes, About 200 B, C. a large migration of Belgae to Greet Britain took place, where they joined their brother Celts, decimated in numbers by fraternal wars. This large excursion left the shores of whet is now Hol land, Zee lend end Flanders almost un-inhe bited and waste. Only on the islands of Zeeland a considerable number of celtic Belgae remained behind. The vacant territory was soon by degrees occupied by offshoots of the named Germanic tribes, who mixed with the Belgic remnants thus in time forming the Hollanders, the Flemings and the Zealanders, all speaking a Ger~enic tongue, the mother of the present Dutch end Flemish, As I Franks I these united tribesmen in the early centuries of our Christian era pushed their way further into Northern Gaul, gaining supremacy there in the Fifth Century when the Roman Empire began to crumble, and giving to conquered Gaul the name of Frankland or France. Even then the Belgae or Walloons retained their racial identity in the very sections of Southern Belgium and northern France where their direct descendants are located at present. Their Celtic or Welsh speech they had given up eo~e centuries before, under Roman domination, adopting that special popular specification of Latin as their lan guage which has survived ae French. The French of the Walloons today still contains a good many ele:r.ente of the original Celtic tongue of the Belgees •••••••••• "Among the first Walloon Proteetant students who came to Heidelberg as e group end metriculated there on August 8, 1565 •••• 1 wee 'Jacobus DuRieux ..... Galli Pictones - i.e., Walloons. 11 in 1566, often called the 1 ':fonder Year' in the history of' The Netherlands, a wave Of open resistance began to sweep over the long suppressed Netherlands. The very first city to rebel openly es a Municipality was Valenciennes in Henault - a Walloon city. Two names are of interest - Regnier DuRieux who was be- 1 1 headed for ir.nsge-breaking , ond Jacques DuRieux who wee teo:fn prisoner but maner:ed to escape, and was thue 'banished for life from the United Netherlands' on June 19, 1568.

Williams. Pelletreau, in hie Dury~a Genealogy end Family History of New York (1907, Vol. IV, p. )25) wrote& "We learn from the oldest records thet this family was originally from the old province of Burgundy in France. (Hote ? ) The name hes been spelled in various ways, as Durie, Duryee and Duryea. '!'he original form is probably DuRyer, and e ?erson acquainted with French pronunciation can readily understand the reason for the various forms in spelling. Some of the members of tbe family lived et an early date in the town of !,brcigny, and were in prominent posi tions. The religious wars and persecution in France sompelled a vast number of Protestant families to seek refuge in Holland, and one branch went to Scotland about the year 1500. "Among the e!llinent members of the Scottish branch of the fam ily were Andrew Durie, who died in 1558, and who wee bishop of Gal- loway and abbot of i~lrose. George Durie (1496-1561), abbot of Melrose. Sir Alexander Gibe on, Lord Durie, a Scottish judge, who died in 1644. John Durie, a Scottish Jesuit, died in 1587. John Durie (1537-1600), a Presbyterian ~inister of prominence. Robert Durie (1555-1616), also a minister of the same denomination. Sir Robert Bruce, of Claclemore, who had the honor of knighthood conferred upon him by King Je:ues VI of Scotland, married for his second wife Helen, daughter of Robert Durie, by whom he had one daughter who became the wife of Alexender Shaw, of Sautrie, Andrew Boswell, seventh son of Sir John 2oswell, of Belmute, had a daughter Janet who became the wife of her cousin, John Durie, of Grange. Andrew, the fourth Earl of Rothes, married for his third wife Janet, daut!hter of David Durie, Thu mother of this Janet Durie was Catharine Ramsey, the daughter of }eorge, Lord Ramsey of Dalhousie, end hie wife Mar garet, only child and heiress of Sir George Douglass, of I:elinhill. Members of the various branches of the Scotch fa.nily of Durie have, it is seen, allied themselves in marriage to some of the most prom- in~nt noble families of that kingdon. The identification of this branch of the fa'.,1ily with that of the French line is co :i.plete end unmistakable through tha records 0£ ancient chronicles end docu ments and the blazons of heraldry. 11 /1.ndre Duryer, or DuRyer, who was born in :-srcigny, Burgundy, lived in the first half of the seventeenth century, and was a Gentleman of the King 1 s Bed ChambAr, the I<'rench diplomatic agent at Constantinople, end the consul for France at Alexendria, Egypt. He lived many yea rs in the east, was one of tbe most accomplished Oriental scholars of his time, and published a tranelation of the 1 Gulistan of Seadi 1 in 1654, and one of the Koran in 1647, 11 Pierre Duryer, born ii, Perie, France, 1605, was a French dramatist and a men of letters, and a co~petitor of the celebrated 7

Corneille when the latter wee edrd.tted to the French Academy in 1646. From him wee probably descended Charles Henry Duryer, born in Paris, France, 1a,o, chief of the Ministry of Justice end Chevalier of the Legion of Honor •••••••• "Joost (George) Durie, the ancestor of the family in the New Netherlands, was a French Huguenot, who after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, sought a refuge at !-fanheim, of the Rhenish Palatinate, end came to America about 1675, being among the first of the Huguenot emigration. He settled at New Utrecht, Long Island, where he purchased a farm, which he sold, October 5, 1681, for thir ty-two hundred guilders (or $1,200) 1and a wagon'. From the price we conclude that it wee en estate of considerable value for those days. He left New Utrecht and settled in the disputed lands be tween Newtown and Buehwick; he was living in Buehwick in 168, took the oath of allegiance there in 1687, end died there about 1727, at en advanced age. He married •••• r!agdalena LeFevre, whose name, like that of her husband, shows that she was of French origin. They were the parents of eleven children: Jooat, Peter, Jacob, Abraham, Cornelius, Simon, Jacq use, Antoinette, Charles, Magdalena and Phil ip." (RDJ's note - There were two other children who were born in Manheim, Note 6) "From these were descended a very large number of deecendente whose names ere inseparately connected with the history of Kings county end the various branches of the family era to be found in many of the states of tha Union. The arms of the family are, Azure, a chevron between three crescents argent." 5

In the memorial diecouree (!:ote 4) on the life of the rte\l_erend John Hudson Duryee, D. D. (Note 5), there is so:ne repetition of the previous history, but an interesting story is included: "Dr. Duryea was descended from e highly honored end respected an cestry. On the paternal side hie lineage is traced to the Huguenots, forever memorable in the history of France, the French Protestant Chris tians to whom, in the sixteenth century, the ns.'lle was given in contempt by their religious ene~ies, but the ignominy of which, like the re proach of the Croes, has long since been wiped sway by the holy lives, the patient sufferings and the heroic deeds of those by whom it wee borne. The most honors ble men of their fatherland and the most practically useful, they were driven from their native soil and scattered by the intolerant bigotry of their countrymen, like choice and precious seeds, among the nations of the earth, augmenting the moral weelt~ and increasing the prosperity of the communities in which they estab lished their homes. "Like the history of the Hollanders in their conflict with Philip II of Spain, the history of the Huguenots in France, is e history of the triumph of truth and faith over the evil plottings of men mighty in pD\''er, end exhibits the most heroic devotion to religious principles, and the moat dauntless following of con scientious convictions, the love of God ever wrought in men, or the grace of Jesus Christ achieved. "If tradition be correct, the progenitor of the Duryee family of America wee a dry geode merchant in the city of Paris, a me111ber of the Reformed Church of France, a staunch and steadfast Huguenot, 1firm in his principles, benevolent in his disposition, bland in his manners and noble in his actions•. ttBecause of the persistent persecutions of the Huguenots, he end a few friends, having escaped !!l8ssacre by hiding themselves in e small apartment of the cellar of hie home, in which they had been accustomed to assemble for the worship of God, resolved to leave home end property end city end France itself, and seek a home, where, in accordance with the dictates of en enlightened conscience, God might be worshipped without fear of persecution or peril of deeth. "Under cover of the night, their souls filled with horror by glimpses of the slain, they fled to Manheim in the Palatinate of the Rhine. Through fear of discovery and detention and proba blp death, they traveled only et night, but with all their pre caution barely escaped. Heery and hungry, after mney fatigues, they stopped for refreshment st a small cottage occupied by a friend. In response to their knocking, a woman opened the door and whispered, 'Hush~ the King's officers are sleeping on the floor. Keep perfectly quiet and I will aid you.' She kindly brought them a goodly quantity of milk, which they drank in si lence, and whispering their tha~~s, stole quietly ewsy, fugi tives for conscience sake. At 1-lanheim they found, et least for a time, e safe retreat; but here it is thought ;.:onsieur Duryea, the dry goods morchoc1t, vies crdled to receive the fulfillment Letter, dated August 20, 1959, from Howard I.

•You mey be interested to know that I found, a few yeare ego, what I believe to be the baptismal record of my enceetor in tlolland. I contacted the Bibliotheque Walloons in Leyden and they have files of ell the early Huguenot records. He wee Jean Durier baptized November 12, 1654 in the Walloon Church at Utrecht, the eon of Pierre Durier and Margarite Cbaroy. The Durier spelling is found here on a couple of the early document• pettaining to Jean in 1686 end 169;, but eventually the final "r1 was dropped. It would seem that there wee no connection between Jean end Joost, at least none that they knew about. 1

Lurinr this year he a?pears on record as the purchaser of a farm at :Jew L'trecht, Lonr Island, upon which he resided until the autumn of 1681, when he occupied a fa rm be tween Newtown and Brooklyn, in what was subsequently ;mown as the town of Buahwick, Long !eland. He died about 1727 • 11

In 1910, General Hiram Duryea wr!'.>te to my correspondent, :Ire. Grinnan, that he had found the Duryea name spelled in forty different ways. I have found more, and they follow: deHea, Darey, Derie, I:eRieu, deRieu, Derije, I;erje, Derret(7), Derri, Derrieu, DerRof, Derry, deRy, DerYie, Deyea, Dirjee, Dore, Dorie, Dorije, Dorje, Duerje, Dure, Duree, Durey, Duili.e, Durie, DuriJ, Durian, DuRieu, Durieu, DuRieus, DuRieux, Durieux, Durije, Durijee, Durjee, ,Durrie, DuRuin, Dury, Duryey, Durye, Duryea, Duryear, Duryee, Du!iyer, Duryer, Curyete, Dufe. (3ote that "j" was pronounced es 11 i",)

Of course, there are numerous pronunciations. I understand that the Duryea Building in W~ehington, D, C,, is commonly pronounced Doc-rye-ah, with the accent on the second syllnble. i,!8 ny call ue Der-ee-ay or Dew-ree-aye - both with the accent on the first syllable. Distant cousins, using the same spelling as ours, pronounce their name as De-yay with the accent on the last syllable. The Durye!!_ spelling is pronounced Der-yee with a slightly heavier accent on the first syllable. Our famil;,r has always used Der-yay with the accent the same on both syllables.

In my correspondence the tradition has been mentioned frequently that three Duryea brothers had come to these shores, but to my knowledge, this tradition hes not been verified. :,:re. Grinnan told me tr;at her grandfather had this impression, and that the brothers were named Joost, Jean, and Jacques. '·!e have proof that Joost had a brother Jacques (Note 6), but did he come to America? 11 Jean DuRie came to the Colonies prior to 1686 11 end settled in New Jersey (lfote 7), but was he a brother or a relative of Joost 1 s7 Bergen (Note 8) wrote that there was a 11 Jan Dorie or Durie 11 end a 11 Pieter de!iy or deRea 11 of Hackensack, 11 who had children baptised in 1720 and 1724, whose descendants now write their names Duryee or I;urje, and a:t,·e numerous in that locality. This Jen and Pieter were probably grandsons of Jooet, but of this no positive evi dence."

Our immigrant ancestor wee Joost (pronounced Yost) DuRieu, and our earliest d£.te for him is that of his marriage February 28, 1672 to }!ed·elein LeFevre which ie recorded in the records of the church founded by the ?roteetant Refugees in Manheim (Note 6). Ruth Duryee believes that this wee Jooet'e second marriage. There hie name was given ae Josee, eon of Simon DuRieu. The church records also have the births of three of their children, one of whom was Jean born 1679. This latter date ie after the migration of Jooet with his fe·nily and mother, end Ruth Duryee advances the very plausible theory that the news of the birth 10

of the infant eon was sent 11 home 11 by the proud parents, and that the name 11 11 probably ehould have been entered as Jacquas , who was baptised in Hew York July 1;, 1679 - born June 6.

Bergen stated that Jooet Durie, who "emigrated about 1675 from l-1E1 nheim, in the Palatinate of the Rhyn, was a respectable Franch Huguenot •••• He set tled at first in New utrecht, where he bought a farm, which he sold October 1681 for ;200 gl. and a new wagon to Gerrat Cornelisen VanDuyn, as per page of Liber AA of Flatbush town records. Left New Utrecht and settled on the disputed lands between Newtown and Bushwick (as per Riker 1 s Newtown) where he died about 1727. His name appears on the assessment rolls of Bushwick of 168; and 169;, and census of 1698; and he took oath of allegiance in said town in 1687. 11 (Note 9)

On this Bushwick property Joost Durie built a bouse, and there many of hie children were born.

ORIGINAL HOME OF·THE DURYEAS AND DURYEES

11 0n the meadows along the stream known as the Kills, from which Dutch Kille in Long Island derives its name, are many old homesteads of the original settlers of Long Island. A number of them will probably soon be wiped out of existence by the Pennsyl vania Railroad improvement. "One of these qL1aint structures stands in a sharp triangle 11

formed by the intersection of 3orden and Bredley avenues, in the Blissville district ::-,f Lon; Island City. It ie the original home stead of the Duryea fa~ily whose progenitor was Jooet Durie. 11 He was a French :!uzuenot end came from >Ianheim in the Palat inate. After coming hero the family became connected by marriage with the DeBevoise fanily end the homestead has been known by the names of both fa •ailies. 11 In its more than two centuries of existence this old home stead hes never been unoccupied, end today children play around its door as other children did 200 years ago. ~odern fireplaces have replaced the old open hearths and many of the old quaint furnishings have been carried off. If left unmolested end kept in ordinary repair, the old homestead is good for another hundred years. "It was from Joost Durie that the Duryees and Duryees of today are descended ••••••• , • 11

This family homestead was undoubtedly the birthplace of our first American-born ancestor, Charles Derier (also spelled Derije, Durje, Duryee end Duryee).

His was the basic patent of a tire-puncture-sealing fluid which was marketed under the name of IEVERLEAK; and he made other important con tributions to the tire industry. Charles Duryee was the inventor and builder of America's first gasoline automobile. His use of the advanced spark and spray carburetor was probably his gree test contribution to the develop:nent of the e utornobile. He led the way for the great industry which followed. He also built motors for dirigi- ble experimentation, and developed motors for motorboats and motorcycles. In 1899 an armored motor car with a machine gun was built under his license and_ direction for the Northwestern :-:ilitary Academy (for >Jsjor Davidson). During the winter of 1895-6 his home was heated by burning oil, but the oil was so unrefined that it was not a satisfactory experiment. His children were told by him that he had never been out of the state un til he was seventeen; and he was determined that they should have the opportu- nity of "going places". We recall our viEits as a family to world's fairs end various educational exhibitions, It was never too much trouble for "Ced" 1 to take time to explain to any child (his own or the neighbors ) the answer to the query presented. For many years he spent much time preparing and pre senting a Friday evening entertainment for children which was both educational and recreational. Every child in the neighborhood wee given rides in tht early days of the automobile. ( 1/e never rode with an empty seat.) Dad loved picnics and swimming parties; he instituted kite-flying contests; he invented a whistle and a game. One of Dad I s special interests was eclipses. (Has this inherited from his great-grandfather, ·Starling Turner (see III, p,22 )? His children remember many mornings when they accused him of not calling them to see an eclipse during the night, only to be told that they.were awakened, had looked out the window, had assured Dad that they saw the eclipse, and then dashed back to bed! My space is too limited to review Dad 1 s many qualifications. He had a marvellously even disposition; he was endowed with a keen sense of humor; he had an unusually brilliant reaction to all topics; and he had a vital interest in the problems of the day. (Notes 57, 58, 59) Mother and Dad celebrated their 11 golden 11 wedding anniversary in 19}4, and had four ~ore years together before Dad 1 s death. Mother survived him by four years. No children were more blessed in their parents than were we. From her early girlhood ;fother was interested and active in many phases of church work.

0 U R TURNER L I N E

The Turner name may have bean of Norman origin, but it is generally believed to have been of Anglo-Saxon derivation. Fourteen shires in England had records of this family name which had various spellings, such as deTour neur, Tornour, Tourneour, Tournour, Tournoure, Turneour, Turner, Turnour, Turner, Turnur, etc. F'or the most part, these families were of the yeomenry end landed gentry of Great Britain.

John Turner wee the first of the name to come to America. In 11 ye Com- pecte Signed in ye Cabin of ye Mayflower ye 11 of November Anno Dominie 1620 ••• yn witness whereof we have hereunder subscribed our ne,mes at Cap-Codd ye 11, November, in ye year of ye reigne of our eovereigne lord, King James, of England, France, Yreland ye eighteenth, end Scotland ye fiftie fourth, Ano. Dom. 1620 11 John Turner wee one of the forty-one signers of whom "twenty four were heads of families. Two of these left only a daughter each •••• thus leaving twenty-two from whom descent ie traced." No Turner descendants were listed. (John Turner end his eons died of the sickness.) Several Turners came to New England at later dates.

Our branch of the family eta rted in Maryland. These "early Turners were large landholders, gentlemen, members of the Society of Friends, and connected with the Colonial Government of M3.rylend. They settled in the year 165, on the Patuxent River in Calvert County, !'1aryland, three years after the establishment of Maryland. Calvert County wee settled by families from England. William Turner of Patuxent, Calvert County, Gentleman, original founder in the Province of Maryland ••••• demanded according to hie right a patent of three hundred acres of lend for transporting himself, his wife, hie sons, William, Edward, and John, and his eervant ••••• into the Province of Maryland in June 165,."

Our earliest indentified ancestor, ':lilliem Turner, has been traced beck to New Market, Frederick County, '.•!aryland. (:-Tote 73)

I. WILLIAM TURNER of New ;,;arket, Frederick County, ;18 ryland. It is believed that his fer·1ily wee one of the many English fa:nilies who, having no church of their own faith in the neighborhood, worshipped with their :,Joravian neighbors at :i:onocacy in F.rederick County •. l.eter, many of these English fe~nilies followed their former neighbors to North Carolina. 'I'he r✓lorevians were industrious and thrifty; end they had been invited by Lord Granville to settle on hie lands in North Caro- lina. The diaries of the ~foravian itinerant preachers mentioned these Eng- lish families who had followed their ;,Ioravian neighbors. (Note 74)

II. WILLIAM PINKSTGI'J TUnNER, son of William Turner, was born in New Merket, Frederick County, '.,Tarylend. (:~ote 75) He served as a private in the l;orth Cerolina 1!ii.litia for 178 days in 1781; as a pack horseman for 46 days, and as private horseman for 60 days in 1782; end later es sergeant for 282 days. (Notes 76, 77 end 78) There ~ere many deeds for sales and purchases of property in Rowan County, North Carolina. The earliest found was in 1765, and the latest was a transfer of property to Thomae Gheen (Nots 79), dated December 15, 1803. His eon, Starling, had settled in Kentucky before that date, and William p1·obably moved to Jessamine County, Kentuc!<:y, about the time of this latest deed.

11 In 1558, he, with a few others, organizod a :~thodist Protestant Church in Centon, Illinois, and in 1845, ho was elected lay representative of the North Illinois Conference at the General Conference, to be held in Cincinnr.ti, Ohio, May 1846. At that Conference he became so dissatisfied et what he took to be a disposition on the part of rnany of the represen tatives from the North to yield to Lhe demands of the slave power, that he ce'.ne home, and soon after joined the 1.!esleyan 1,:Cthodiste; where he remained until the Northern portion of the :~thodist Protestant Church took such a stand against sl1wery, as in bis judg!l1ent, justified his return, when he ca,lle bac:c and re'Uained with tile cburch until his death. 11 (Note 8~) 11 ••••• Sterling Turner ••••• was born, •••• two months ofter the Declaration of Inds pendence wee signed, growing to manhood under very adverse circum- · stances. In September 1798 he, on horseback left his boyhood home for the then wilds of Kentucky, arriving there in the early winter of 1798, end settling near where Harrodsburg now stands. In this new country, after a 11 short tirne, he met, wooed, end won Sophie C8 rver.

He also took greet interest in as- tronomy. 11 (Note 85) Hie children were told that the femily had moved in order that they would not become accustomed to having slaves end thus be lazy.

11 In hie earlier life Mr. Turner belonged to and was a liberal supporter and en active wor:.Cer of the M, P, Church, and of her educational interests. He wee a very generous man, and ever ready to relieve suffering and to help the needy. Some eight or nine years ago Mr, Turner's views on hie domestic relations underwent a change which caused grief end pein to hie most estima- ble family and which it is unnecessary here to relate. Let charity have her perfect work, 11 Mr. Turner has lived in Florida for a few years pest, and last fell he and hie present wife visited their respective families and relatives, which he seemed to enjoy very much, especially when among hie children and old friends, and talked much of the happy days of bygone years. He returned to Florida about the first of November and seemed to gradually grow weaker; but hie last serious sickness was of only three days duration. He had a great desire to be brought north for hie buri~l among hie kindred end old neighbors. He was buried in the .cemetery near the church and home of his earlier life •••• Everything was done by hie children, relatives and old friends to give honora ble and respectful burial." (Note 99) b.

"The family legend is to the following effects The Emperor Charlemagne, travelling with hiD suite, tired end exhe usted, comes to the house of one who generously furnishes them with wine and re freshment. The Emperor is pleased with his host, and makes him an officer of his household, end finally grants him a title of nobility end assigns him a coat of arms. This lest is, of course, much changed by the various additions and unions with other families which have taken place in the course of succeeding generations, but in the coats of arms of many of the different branches of the family in Germany, Holland and Switzerland, we still find evidence of the orig nal idea; for instance, in one a bunch of grapes, in others a gob let, in others still a tankard of various shapes.• Our immigrant ancestor, Johannes Schenk, used the tankard aa one seal and three horizontal arrows es another. .The tankard re sembles an ordinary coffee-pot. "The heraldic idea intended to b• conveyed by the tankard is that of hospitalityJ in fact, the meaning of the word Schenck, or Schencken, is butler.•

Thus, the Schencks were 11 an old and influential family, who could trace their descent from the time of Charlemagne in the eighth century". Probably for several generations the office of lieutenant bailiff, or judge of the Wick or Province of Kess~l, in Holland, had been held by members of the family. We know that the immigrant Johanne• Schenk 1 e greet-grandfather M:i.rtin, hie grandfather Theodore, and hie father Martin, held this office. Martin Schenk 16,,-1704 •wee a men of cons~derable learning, ea he had conferred upon him, in 1668, the degree of J. U. D. (Juris utriusque DoctorJ Doctor of both Laws; i.e., the Canon and the Civil Lew)•. He married Merge r.the de Boeckhoret who died in 1688. Their eon JOHANNES SCHENK.(or SCHENCK}, the innnigrant, was born in Holland, probably in the sub-district of Kessel. H.e married Maria Magdalene de Hau, daughter of Hendrick and Maria de Haee. Thie marriage probably occurred shortly "before hie departure from Middleburg, Holland, in 168, for New York •••• as he was but twenty-seven years old and no children were born, before their arrival in New York". In 1684 Johannes joined the Collegiate Reformed Dutch Church in New York City and hie wife joined a year later "by witness• from the Dutch Reformed Church of Middleburg, Holland. Their first eon was baptised in this church. In 1685 they joined the Reformed Dutch Church at Esopus (now Kingston) in Ulster County, New York. Jo hannes probably taught here for five years. In 1689 he took the oath of allegiance to the British crown. In 1691 he was Town Clerk in Flatbueh, and in 1698 he wee admitted a freeman of the City of New York. He taught school there for two years. Then 1700-1712 he wee again Town Clerk in Flatbueh and teacher of the village school. (This also meant leader of the singing in the church, act as assistant minister by reading portions of the service, and, during the minister's absence read a sermon from an approved author.)

"October 11, 1703, Johannes bought a tract of land of 640 acres situated on the Raritan River, in the County of Middlesex, N. J., end ••••• within the limits of the present City of New Brunswick. In the deed, which is recorded in the office of the Secretary of State for New Jersey, he ie styled Johannes Schenck, of the Island of Nassau, schoolmaster, and the land ie described as being in breadth 40 chains end in length 60 chains ••••• Thie tract, or its immediate neighborhood, was afterward occupied by some of his ~randeons ••••• the first members of the family to live there•. (Thie item is of importance in the tracing of our Duryea line.) In 1707 Johannes purchased a residence which he sold in 1712 to hie son-in-law, and bought (1711-1712) lend for £1,000 in cash - the deed was witnessed by Gabriel Sprong who witnessed the will of Captain Charles Duryee (1690-1753), son-in-law of Johannes Schenk. In many records 11 Johennes is entitled 'Mynheer', a distinction which is granted to but few others, and such pains have been taken not to omit it that the idea is conveyed ••••• that it wee not without significance". The old records show him to have written many documents; he was "an exceeding good penmen and meeter both of the Dutch and Eng lish styles of writing •••• or find him introducing Le.tin and French phrases end expressions where there is no necessity•.

The will is dated January 4, 1745, end was proved about three weeks after hie death which occurred in 1748.

"The witnesses were people whom we believe were his neighbors, and whose names are mentioned in the local contemporaneous histories, Hendrick Van Ende, Joost Durije, and Cornelius Derrien, Jr. The executors were his sons-in-law, John Stryker and Charles Derje". (Captain Charles Durije was also a witness to the will of Johannes' son, Peter, in 17~6.)

11 .Among the conveyances to Peter is that of the land which re mains as the family burying-ground of the Buehwick family of Schenk. It was not a portion of any land previously owned by the Schenks, but seems to have been bought and dedicated to that special purpose - the conveyance wee dated April 24, 1724. 11 Among the inscriptions are 1 11 Johannes Schenk, ye First of the Family, Depd this Life Feb 1 y ye 5th, 1748.

cabins ( both two-storied) we re put together in 11 1 11 shape, connected by a porch. The floors were so old and sensitive that they shook when a small puppy ran over them! The sisters had many interesting things to tell me. The family had been Northern in its sympathies during the Civil War, and the Duryee farm had been part of the "un derground" for the escape of slaves to the Ohio River. True South erners, they had a love for fine horses; they had bred and trained horses, and had a running track on the farm. (This seemed incon gruous with the log-cabin home.) They had many beautiful coverlets which had been woven by their grandfather (my greet-greet-grandfather) John Duryea. Other coverlets had been destroyed following a case of scarlet-fever in one of the slave houses. At the time of my visit the real farming had been discontinued, but the work around the farm was being done by a "hired man" and e young Negro who was a grandson of one of their slaves. Hie family hed preferred to stay with the Duryeaa; he drove hie own horse and buggy, and had a very easy time with the elderly sisters. Another night was spent in Maysville with their sister Elizabeth's daughter, Mrs. Omar Dodson (a. 1912). Here I was accompanied by a niece of Mrs. Dodson's (grand-niece of the Duryea sisters), Julia Steers (d. 1948), who was about my age. I had a wonderful, never-to-be-forgotten visit with these •genteel• kin-folk. (I ate fried chicken end hot biscuits at each of the nine meals in Kentucky; and home-made ice cream at six of those meals!) It may be of interest to know how I got in touch with the two sisters.

A search for the Weleh family was unsuccessful. Tradition in the family has the name possibly also spelled Walich, Walloch, Willich. The Welsh name occurs several times in records of Sowerland (Now Millstone) Somerset Co., New Jersey about 1790. A Michael Welsh settled en estate in New York about 1760. See Note 29 where a Michael Welsh was a witness with John Duryee 1 s step-grandmother, Maria DerRo/. John Duryea was bondsman June;, 1797 for the mar riage of Abraham Welsh and M:irgaret Shirley, Mason County, Kentucky. Note ,e Charles Duryea, according to Kentucky State Historical Archives, wee born in Virginia. His will, dated March 28, 1847 end proved March 11, 1861 left everything including 150 acres "to my brother, Michael Duryee; and after his decease to hie wife Elizabeth Brown Duryea, so long ae she remains a widow in case she should marry the said property shell be equally di~ided between my brother Michael's children". The Bible record of Miohael 1 e marriage (Note ,5) atatea hie wife 1a name as Holloway, and Michael's two sisters end a granddaughter af firmed that name. The above name "Brown" is baffling; however the Bible death notice ie Elizzabeth~ Duryea. Wee Cbarlee 1 property other than that he received from hie father? If not, he did not carry out his father 1 s bequest that hie ehere wee to go to his brother, Wesley (or did he interpret the will differently?)

"As early as 1884 he began to study the motor carriage problem and concluded that the internal combustion engine with electric ig nition and gasoline fuel was the most practicable. He served as consultant in the construction of a steam buggy in 1888. In 1891, believing the public was ready fore horseless vehicle, he began the construction of his first automobile.

It was equipped withe two-cylinder engine, three speeds, and reverse, gear transmission, and its pneumatic rubber tires (made by the Hertford Rubber Works) were the first to be applied to an automobile. This type of car was placed on the market in October 1895 by the Duryea Motor Wagon Company, of Springfield, Massachusetts, which had been organized in September of that yeer. 11 (Note 69 for catalog) "Its superiority wee demonstrated by winning first prize $2,000 in the Chicago 'Times-Herald I race on Thanksgiving Dey, 1895, when it made the fifty-four mile course through snow from 12 to 18 inches deep. It wee the only one of six entries, including three foreign care, to return to the stable under its own power."(Picture on p.51] "The Duryea also won ell prizes at the 'Cosmopolitan' contest, 1-by 30, 1896" (in New York city end suburbs). "In a test run from London to Brighton (England), fifty-two miles, on November 14, 1896, the two Duryea carriages distanced by seventy minutes all competitors, including the winners of the French race of that year. His brother, James Frank Duryee, was associated with him during 1892-1898 and as sisted in designing and perfecting the car. In 1900 Charles Duryea organized the Duryea Power Company, of Reading, Pennsylvania, to in troduce en, improved Duryea automobile with a number of original features. It dispensed with the under frame end hung the axles di rect to the body frame as in modern practice; its three-cylinder in clined motor, placed under the driver's seat, operated through a compact two-speed planetary transmission gear to the differential sprocket, and the steering, setting the clutch, and throttling the motor wee operated by a hand lever, rising at the center of the seat.

Note 58 Charles' thesis must be included in this manuscript! The newspaper clipping (from the screp-book of Rochel (Steer) Duryea) is in our possession. •Rapid Transit An Oration Delivered at the Seminary, last Evening, by Charles Duryea, a Member of the Junior Clasen M3y 4, 1881 "This ie a subject, which, more than any other, has attracted end is yet attracting the scientific minds of this century. Not that it is having a cycle in the orbit of fashion, but because the world hes reached that period of its existence which demands it more than any preceding age; and for this reason the inventors of to-day ere giving it their attention. To more fully show the need of rap id transit, and to make it clearer to you how nearly this need has been applied, we will take a short view of its outlines in the past ages. When man wee first placed upon this globe he was given pow er over ell living creatures it contained, and was also commanded to subdue it. Thie was a most difficult task. Although it is true that man 1 s body is capable of greeter physical development than that of any other of God's creatures end that his mind is ca pable of infinite development, yet he is but a speck of duet upon this divine foot-stool. And for him to conquer it, with its rivers, lakes, oceans, mountains, end deserts; to subdue, or at least with stand the fury of its heat end frost, tide, storm, and tempest, was truly a most difficult task; a task compared with which the mytho• logical labors of Hercules sink into insignificance; but so great e teak required both time and energy and es yet, is not completed. We will notice its progress. "In the beginning, men were compelled to depend upon themselves; end, for that reason, had but little need of communication or trans portation. The only means of transit then were the physical powers of the individual, which, no doubt, were trained to a much higher de gree than at present; but ea the people spread over the earth, there was more communication and, consequently, a better means of transit became necessary between them. Thus the dog, sheep, bison, ox, and, et last, the horse, were each successively called upon to aid in ex tending the influence of man ova r the world. 11 The swiftness of the horse is highly spoken of by ancient writers, and right well does he yet maintain his repute.tion. His first use was not for riding, es might be supposed, but for drawing sledges and chariots. Next he was ridden and used for carrying letters end drawing carte, coaches and, at length, coal cars upon wooden railways. •At this period of hie usefulness a change came. The nineteenth century opened up a new era, the age of steel, in which the untiring energy of machinery was to push the world onward with a rapidity never before thought of. The steam-engine bad been invented end was used for propelling vessels, working pumps and also for drawing care short distances by means of cables; but a thoughtful Scotchman, while watching an enEine drawing care from a coalery, inquired •why can not tram roads be laid all over Great Britain and steam-engines be so employed as to supersede horse power?' The idea charmed him and he resolved to follow it up. He would think of nothing else by day, nor dream of anything else by night but 1tram roads, 1 locomotive steam engines end horse-power superseded • He talked Note 58 - continued

whenever he could get a listener and the train of his speech was 1 tram roads, locomotive steam-engines and horse-power superseded'. He received no encouragement from statesmen, politicians, or phil osophers; but, finally, a few commercial men became interested and what was the consequence? You see it before you in the vast net work of steel which stretches to all civilized countries. "You hear it in the puff of the iron-horse es it comes swiftly onward bringing industry to our hands and happiness to our homes, and making these broad acres blossom like a flower garden. You find it in the general prosperity of the land; in the activity of the mines and manufactories; end in the life of the villages, towns, and cities, which have sprung up ell over the country. But the construction of railroads and the attainment of speed ere not ell that constitute rapid transit. The shortening of distance ia another important factor. This is done by spanning the rivers with magnificent bridges or fitting them with immense ferry-boats for the transpor tation of trains of cars; by constructing trestlework across valleys and through swamps where it would seem impossible for the foot of man ever to tread; and by boring tunnels through hills and mountains, and even under the very bed of the rivers. This is but a short statement of what has been done in the way of rapid transit upon land, and we will next turn our attention to its progress upon the water. The ancients took advantage of the smell specific gravity of wood and formed rafts, which were either carried by the currents or propelled by poles. They also noticed the force of the wind and naturally raised sails so as to derive benefit from it. The rafts finally be came hollow vessels, fitted with oars and sails, and, thus developed, became a practical and profitable means of transit for all nations. It was in such vessels as these that America was discovered; thet the Cape of Good Hope was doubled; and that the world was Gircum navigated. But the nineteenth century also opened a new era for navigation. By the application of steam, vessels were made to no longer fear winds or tides, calms or currents. The increase of speed has made voyages to consist of days instead of weeks, and the improving of harbors and river mouths and the cutting of the Suez and other canals, have done much to make the world one universal city, and the antipodes our neighbors. Thie is what has been done, and, in comparing the present with the past, we see little or no resem blance between them, and no more resemblance between the great ocean steamer of today and the primitive canoe than between the mighty locomotive and the chariot of the ancient Assyrian; but we do see something in the future - a something greater yet to come. I will not prophesy - but will merely attempt to speak what nature and past history teach. We all know what mammoth strides have been made by mankind in the arts of peace during the last fifty years, and that upon land a speed has been obtained which excele the swiftness of any land animal; while upon water many of our vessels excel the fishes. But is this the height of our progress? Having mastered land and water, can we go no farth~r? Will man's immortal mind be content to rest here; end is the divine command ful_filled? Not by any means. That universal element which the swift-winged bird traverses with Note 58 - continued

rapidity far exceeding all human contrivances, is yet unconquered. All our efforts, so far in that direction, have been as mere chips upon the ocean; but as progressive mind has been triumphant in the other elements, so it will be in this, and the time will come when the humming of flying machines will be music over all lands; when Europe will be distant by a half-day 1 s journey; and when all people will be as brothers in their social and business relations. Then rapid transit will have probably reached perfection."

In England Thomas Steer 1822-1900 was e tailor. One day a gypsy called at hie shop and told Thomas that he would receive a letter which would cause him to move to America within six months. Thomas scoffed at the prophecy, but the gypsy was right. In 1854, with their four children, Thomae and Grace sailed. The trip, of course, was by sail ing vessel end they were frequently blown off their course so that it was eight weeks before they reached these shores. On the voyage their oldest child fell overbcsrd and was rescued with the greatest difficulty. They first settled in Limestone Twp., Peoria County, Illinois, where their other five children were born, and here the family was joined by Thomas' sister, fuchal. For several years Thomae was en gaged in burning lime end then turned to farming. In 1872/3 the fam ily settled in Stark County, Illinois. In 1892 Thomas and Grace celebrated their fiftieth wedding anni versary on their farm. Their nine children with their wives end hus bands (except two deceased in-laws) and twenty-one grandchildren were present. Following this event they left the farm and moved 11 in town 11 to Wyoming, Illinois, where they had built a home for their declining years. It seems fitting to quote from the remarks at the celebration of their fiftieth anniversary: 11 During this half-century your union has been blessed with a large family, nine in numbar •.... who ••... ere here with us tonight, children who honor and love their father and mother most sincerely - and true family love is a priceless virtue •••• We, your neighbors and friends,fully recognize the sterling honesty, virtue and integrity of your character; your kindness of heart and spirit of sociability and hospitality; and we con sider your word ae good as your bond.

Note 81 Some of the property deeds were signed "Acton" instead of 11 Ac:tion", but even thie probable family name did not help me to identify her with the long line of Howards. There were Howards in New Market, M:iryland. "Benjamin, Cornelius and Philip Howard settled in Rowan County, North Carolina, prior to the Revolution. These possibly were members of the Maryland family" wrote Harry Wright Newman on September 10·, 1940. William Pinkston Turner owned 107 acres ad joining Benjamin Howard, John Howard, Jr., and William Pinkston in 1785. Turner Pinkston 1 e marriage in 1797 was sponsored by John Howard; and John Howard married Dinah Pinkston in 1779 - sponsored by Benjamin Howard. Matthew Howard (who died 1650/1659) emigrated from England to Virginie, end "was in Virginia in l6~5u. He set tled in Maryland about 1650, and was an ancestor of Wallis Warfield, the present Duchess of Windsor. I quote from the Meryland state hymns 11 Thou wilt not cower in the duet, Maryland! Thy beaming sword will never rust, Maryland! Remember Carroll's sacred trust, Remember Howard's warlike thrust, And all thy elumberers with the just, M:I ryland, my Maryland! 11

Note 82 Since Starling Turner (1776-1871) was almost ,1 years old when his father died, the feet that there were two minor children at the time of William Pinkstcn Turner's death has led me to believe that pos sibly Action Howard might have been his second wife; especially since he is concerned about her re-marriage (see will, Note 80). The name "Action" or 11 Acton 11 does not appear in any succeeding gen- 69

eretion. But there is also a question whether these minor heirs might have been nephews or wards. From 11 Kentucky Records" there is this i tema 11 January 12, 1802 - the following orphan children of Jo seph Turner, deceased, were apprenticed to William Turner - George Turner b. 1791, Suddarth Turner b. 179;>, James Turner b. 1795. 11 True, only one of these is mentioned in the will of William Pinkston Turner - James, who would have been twelve years old at the date of the will.

Note 98 From an article on 11 The Old Turner Mansion" by Pauline (Ryan) Ander son, read before the Peoria, Illinois Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution. In the summer of 1896, I was in the hall and one of the parlors of the old Turner home. Shortly before its demolition (see below) a piece of well covering was sent to my brother, Jerry. It is three layers thick of wall-paper, and I prize it. Louise (Duryee) Brown wrote I On the evening of A!,Jguet l9, 1955, the United Electric Coal Co, dynami tad the old house. For a couple of yeero thoy had triod to find a contractor to dismantle it, but could find no one who would teckle the job.

The mines I f'arm manager remarked that the old house could have stood there for another 200 years. At any rate, they did no more blasting because of damage to another house a half-mile away.

Note 102 Sarah Ann (Carver) Turner was my only living great-grandparent and I vividly remember her. She told me numerous riddles, and she had e. splendid appreciation of jokes. Sha was a welcome visitor at the homes of her children. I last saw her at a family picnic for her birthday in June 1900, when she was 87 years old. The following obituary was written by her son, William Penn Turner 1844-1932, 11 My mother, Sarah Ann Carver Turner, was the eldest daughter of P. M. and Catherine Carver, who settled in Fulton County, Illi nois ••••• She was born .•••• near Lexington Kentucky, where her parents had lived before moving to Illinois. Grandfather Turner moved about the same time, and perhaps both families emigrated together by ox teams, My mother was one of the kindest of woman, very rug ged end strong, and verv sympathetic, always ready to help the needy. She was one of those quiet souls who pondered well her words and spoke evil of no one; supporting her church and aiding humanity os best she could. Mother Turner became a Christian in early life and first united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, but soon after her marriage .•••. eha joined the Methodist Protes tant near Op,nton, Illinois, in which she remained a faithful and consistent member until called to her reward - her prospects grow ing brighter as the earthly tabernacle was being taken down. Har funeral services were held at the Pleasant Valley Church near Wy oming, Illinois. She is buried in the cemetery adjoining that church. 11 Her father, Pleasant Moorman Carver, was doubtless named for someone in his mother 1 s family. The name is also spelled Moreman, 11 11 Morman and Mooreman, and means man of the moors • From Mrs. Thomas M. Eldridge I s 0 The Moorman Family 11 a Thomas Moorman 159.37- 1640? came to Virginia from England in 1619 as a member of the Vir ginia Colony (as shown in the records of the Colony). Zachariah Moorman was born on the Isla of Wight about 1620 and was a captain in Cromwell's invasion of Ireland. He lived in Belfast for a few yaars and then returned to the Isle of Wight where he lived a short time. Being a sympathizer of Charles I, he became an enemy of Cromwell for having the king beheaded, end was exiled from the British Isles. In the spring of 1669 he and hie family left Eng land and went to tho Barbados in West Indies, and later moved to South Carolina and then to Nansemond County, Virginia where there was a Quaker settlement. His is a long line of descendants. The name of Pleasant Moorman first a~µears as the son of Thomas Moorman 1705-1767 and Rechel Clark 1714-1792. Six of his nephews were named Pleasant, and the name appears in later generations.

His sister, R8 chel Moorman 1754-1852 married Stephen Goggins 1752- 1802 and they were the great-grandparents of Mark Twain (Samuel 74
