Until within a- brief period. the people of this country have manifested but little interest in their :;:eneu.logies. This has, in a. :;reat mea.s;ure, resulted from the character of our institutions, under. whic::h every citizen is mainly the architect of his 0\\'11 for tune, and is too much occupied with his own pursuits to devote much tirne to the cba.racter and history of bis ancestors. Having no law of primogeniture or hereclimry titles of honor, the children in this country, of the same family, ull start in the rnce 0£ lifo upon the so.me plane, and are ~vemlly intent upon the ucquisition of wealth and influence, social and political, for themseh·es and their families. Oi late, however, more attention ha., been po.id to this subject, and as the country incrcasL>S in population, wealth, and refinement, a still deeper intere:,;t will be manifestt•d in genealogical researches, as there are few families among us who do not number within their circles some members, who, by their unuided efforts, have attained l1onorable di,,tinct.ion in private or public hfo. Such examples have a silent but potent influence in the forum tion of character. Even the delineation oi_ the foibles, as well as of the virtues o! our immediate ancestors, may be turni;d to good account, by exciting an emulation of their good qualities and a. desire to a.void the dangers which pro,·ed disastrous to them. Besidt.>S the gratification which every intelligent man hns in a kno,,·Icdge of his ancestry, this subject a..-.sumes a growing import ance to those who arc to come after us, as furnishing reliable material:, for the future historian. Though our country is still in its infancy, the descendants of the , founders of our government, who were mainly of English origin, l 2 l:\"TRODt'CTIOX. -nm! who have but just pu.ssc.-d from the first stuge of their noble achievement!!, find it extremely difficult, in many cases, to truce with certainty their descent f.rom thOSc who first emigrate l:STIIODUCTIO:S. 3 placec au canton senestre accompagnec en pointe d'un crapnud, le tout de sable." We have had an engra.nng made of this old coat of arms, the most ancient we ha\·e found to have been used by the Jarvis family, and present it to our renders as or interest on that account. We have;aL'IO, had an engra\'ing mu.de o-f one of the coats of arms u..'led by the Jan"ises in this country, and publish it as the irontis piece to this work. The motto, ·'AD\"El!Sts MAJOR, PAR SEcu,rn1;;" (Strong in Prm,perity, Stronger in Ad\'ersity), hns been nohly lived up to by many or those whose records are contained in the following pages. The changes of the name from GER\"ASJUS to Ger..-ais, Jen"is, Jarvie, and so on to Jan"is, have by no means clouded or in any ·way obscured the original patronymic. The name is strikingly the same through all its variations, as well as the features and the peculiar characteristics of the people. Through the long lapse of years, indeed centuries, amid confusion and strife, political wrnn• gling, oppressive wars, and unholy crusades, their escutcheon has never been tarnished. By the kindness of a member of the family who has ta.ken nn active interest in this work, we are enabled to publish the follow• ing summary of Parliamentary Writs, and some extracts from "Burke's Landed Gentry," in which the name of Jarvis, in some of its various spellings, occurs. This will serve to show the hon orable records that some of the Jan"ises have made, and, also, the antiquity of the family in England, since most of these writs are dated in the early part of the 14th century.

Both in this country and Europe, the name oi Janis has heen enrolled in :ilmv.,,t all the learned professions and ptt!Suits in life. It has given dignity to the bench and bar; it has graced the pro fessions of medicine and surgery; it has adorned the pulpit and the stage; it has entwi,.ed its garlands of poetry with music and painting, and it has thundered its deeds of daring over the oceau wave, and among the distant islands of the sea. And here we may be permitted to speak briefly of some of those who, in the various walks of life, have made the n;me illustrious. EA nL ST. Y ,xcF.sT, Sir John Jen-is, the renowned British acimiral, was a noble type of the hero and English Milor. In judgment pro found, with a stern will nnd inflexible integrity, he was the favorite of his government. His battles were models of niwal tactics, and when won were complete. His good name, fame, and unspotted character gave l1im a place in West minster Abbey. The following anecdote in regard to the U nitetl Stntl.'s and Commodore Bainbridge is quite interesting. It is from '-Allison's History of F.uropc." ••A Xew York gentleman being in London at the time when the IXTllOllUCTIOX. 7 news of the capture of the .Tuva arrived, hnpp<>ncd on the ncitt clay to he in company with .Admiral Jen-is. 'l'he veteran remarked thnt he hncl pnssed a sleepless night. It was not occasioned by the loss of the irignte Java, but by the dignified manner in wbich the Amtil"ican commander had treated his vanquished enem:v. He obsern-d thnt the deportment of Bainbridge more resembled the proud ue11ring of n. Spanish grandee to his prisoners, during the days of ancient chivalry, than oi a young man of a young nation, yet in the gri~tle of manhood. He added that this trait of national character, which indicated so much of future greatness, had given to him, ns an Englis~man, much uneasiness and apprehension." During the Revolutionary struggle between the mother country and the colonic~, a British brig lay off the harbor of Nonvalk, blockading the port. A resident, desirous of " turning a l1onest penny," took a bout-load of fresh vegetables, with other provisions. to the vessel, where he was mo~t cordially received by both officers and men. On inquiry, he found the VL'SSCl was commanded by a young officer, whose name was Jervis. He was very a!Iable, and ma.de many inquiries a.bout Norwalk and its inhabitants. He inquired, particularly, about the Ja.rvises in :Norwalk and ,icinity, and as his gue:;t was a.bout leaving, he said: "Give my compliments to them, and tell them their cousin, John Jervis, would be happy to see them and make their acquaintance. This young officer afterwards became John, the Earl St. Vincent. The late Bishop Jarvis and his son. the Rev. Samuel Fa.rma.r Jan;s, DD., LL.D., '\\·ere among the roost prominent dh;nes of the Episcopal pulpit, and wherever the doctrines of the church are preached and taught, their names will be ever held sacred and dear; nor will it be Iorgo,;ten how the healing art and the science and practice of surgery have been ennobled by the skill, experience, and judgment of such members of the profession us the late Dr. Chn.rlei-, Dr. Leona.rd, and Dr. George Ogilvie Jarvis. In the pro·,ince of painting, under the brush of n. Jan-is, the can vas has almost glowed with life, as the pictures of Perry. Decatur, and Bainbridge will attest. John Wesley Jan-is 1 was one of the 1 "John ·wcsli,y Jnr,;is. portmit-puinter, was horn ut South Shields on Tyne, Enghmd, 1780, nnd died Jnnunry 12, 1840.

He was the teacher of the late John Jnma.n, who was no unworthy pupil o{ such a master. The aec:ount or his painting the portrait of Commodore Bain bridge is an amusing incident p! this favorite old painter: When Bainbridge sat to him, the old wea.ther-bca.ten seaman invariably fell usleep. Thi" annoyeu Jarvis, and, for the first time in his lire, ht 'ound hi." wit and humor were of no avail in rousing bis sitter to proper wakefulness; whereupon, when Jarvis reached that point in the execution of his painting that the expression was to be CILUgbt, he commenced a tirade against the navy, questioned the heroism of its officers and men, and kept up his banter until Ba.inbridge's eyes flashed a.,. they were wont ~n the quarter-deck. Jarvis talked on, a.nd rapidly painted, until the old Commodore started from his chlLir, and, appro:iching Ja.rvi;;. shook bis fist in his face, and thundered out be wollld not "allow a. --- fa.ce :maker to speak a,,"D.inst his pro!esaion " .-\nother instant, and a personal assa.ult might have ensued, when Jarvis sprung aside, burst into a hearty la.ugh, and told the Commodore he had to wake him up somehow, else the picture would have no more expression than a gunner's swab. Bis head of Bainbridge is one of the best pictures Jarvis ever painted. . .As an "Antiquarian," the name of Andrew Jen-ise stands pre• eminent. Be was born in the town of Brechin, in Forfar, Scot• land, and was one o! the most prominent mCtllbcrs o! the Anti quarian Society of the British Kingdom. .:\ mong his contributions to .:\.ntiquarian lore are ·• Land of the Lindsays," and " Epitaphs and Inscriptions from Burial Grounds in the North-east of Scot land.'' llr.

It is a plca.;ing task, thu,; to look back over the flight of yca.I'l!, aad be able to record the rnried excellences, the intelligence and virtues of an honored ancestry. In short, wbere\·er we turn, we find the name of Jams associated with men of letters. with the lea.med professions, and the nobler eliorts that go to make up an advanced civilization. iilL During one or his trips to New Orlt!IUUI he earned, in sb: month,,, ..ix thou,,und dolllln!, but hill profu,ie and convivilll bnbits kept him con.~tnntly poor. .

"-Dr,1~•, .dmerican Bt It may he impossible to detcnnine, ,,;th certainty, when and where the first Jan,;ses settled in this country.· Tht: earliest men• tion of the name, we have found, is in "Hntton's Early Emigrants to America," which speaks of John Jarvice as living in Virginia, Feb. 16, 1623. And we find the name of Francis Jarvice among 138 names, to be transporu-d to Virginia. in the Primrose, Capt. Douglass, per Certificate July 27, 1635, which reads as follows: "Under ye l!inister's hand of Gravesend. being examined by him touching their conformitie to the Church Discipline of Eng• land. The men have taken their oathes of Alegiance e Su premacie." Boston was settled in 1630, by a portion of the company which came from England with John Winthrop. The only person resid ing there at that tune was William Blackstone or Blaxton, supposed to liave been an Episcopal clergyman, and to have arrived about 1623. Sec •·Appleton's Cyclopedia." In the records of Boston, the earliest mention found of the name, is that of JoIDI JAa,,s, who was one of a Coroner's Jury, Sept. 28, ~630. JoID1 J.1.ans is :i.lso mentioned as being a merchant of Boston, who died Sept. 29, 1648. Of this John Jarvis, Savage, in his "Genealogical Dictionary," remarks that "perhaps he may have been only a transient visitor." Jo11-s JAa,,s is again on record in 1651, as connected with the estate of John Mills. We have found no e,idence inconsistent with Savage's remark that the second John Janis was a. transient ,isitor, and ,there is nothing to controvert the idea that the two John Jarvises first above named were one and the same person. He died in 1648, and, eighteen years before (when the coroner's jury was held), might have been a man of middle age, and accom panied the Rev. Wm. Blaxton from England in 1623. In reference to the third John above mentioned., we quote from a letter of Dr. Edward Jarvis, now living in Dorchester, :1,Iass. He says: "On the 18th Sept., 1661, we find the marriage of John Jarvis to Rebecca Parkman, by Richard Belingham, Deputy Gov ernor. He may have been the son of the other John, who died in 1648. The family have been in Boston from that time until now, and in some families their lines a.re traceable." The Town of Huntington, which was one of the earliest settle- 2 10 INTRODUCTIO!ll. ments of the Jarvis family in this country, was first settled by Englishmen in 1653-226 years ago. The pioneers, who formed the settlement, consisted originally of eleven families, who either may have found their way thither from Massachusetts through the Conn~ticut Valley, or may have come directly from the Connecticl1.t Colony, which was founded in Hartford in 1639. Some of these settlers made purchases of land of the Indians, and the following is an account of two of these transactions, showing the unique currency which they used in bartering with them, and which, in those primitive times, was found to be the most serviceable in dealing with the "untutored " wild man. The first purchase of land within the territory of HU!ltington was made of the Matinnecock tn"be of Indians, in 1653, compris ing nearly six miies square. "'!'he consideration pa.id to the Indians was six coats, six bottles, six hatchets, six shovels, ten I..,uves, six fathoms of wam.p=, thirty muxes (brad a.wls), and thirty needles." The first purchase of East Hampton embraced 30, i20 acres, and the articles given in payment consisted of "twenty coats, twenty-four lool..-ing-glasses, twenty-four hoes, twenty-four hatch ets, twenty-four knives, and one hundred muxes." These and other purchases were made of the Indians a.nd held by trustees for the public benefit, and were afterward, from time to time, granted, for a valuable consideration. by the authorities of the town to individual purchasers. The " Old Purchase" of "six miles square" is often mentioned in the real estate transactions of Huntington. and the most prominent and enterpri,,--ing citizens are on record as grantees of portions of it, among whom the names of Stephen ,Tarvis, a.nd his son Stephen, William Jan--is, Thomns .Tarvis, .Tona.than Jarvis, and others, frequently occur. (See Ap pendix D.) The following el>..'"tract from an Historic:i.l Address delivered at the Centennial Celebration at Huntington, by Hon. Henry C. Platt, is inserted here, as it gives, in a. 'few words, a. graphic de- scription of the pioneers of the town. ~ "The first settlers of Huntington were a body of men equally distinguished for the soundness of their morals and the purity of their lives. They were characterized by peculiar sternness of principle, and singular exactness in the discharge of every duty. They regarded every species of vice with a kind of instinctive INTRODUCTION. 11 abhorrence. Prodigality and hcentiousness they brandNi with infamy, and often punished with severity." The spirit with which the people of Huntington entered the great conflict for American h"berty, is shown by a series of reso lutions passed at a general town meeting, held June 21, 1774. These resolutions breathe the spirit of independence, and do honor to the intelligence and patriotism of the people of Huntington, and rank that ancient town among the first assertors o! American liberty. (See Appendfa: N.) We now proceed to give, in tabular form, the records of Stephen Jarvis and his sons. and, after these, the records of the descend ants o! William, Thomas, and Jonathan, who, we have seen. were among the earliest settlers o! the name in Huntington. Following these, are inserted the records of the descendants of Nathaniel and Moses Jarvis, both o! whom were Huntington men, but whose connection with the other families of that town we have not been ahle to ascertain. Thon we take up the l\fossachusetts branch of the family. giving the records of the descendants o! Xathaniel and John Jarvis. At the close of the Genealogy. will be found a few fragmentary records which we have not been able to connect with any of the other fumilics. GENEALOGY. DESCEND.:\.J."'ITS OF STEPHEN. l.. No. Name.

Bishop nf Connt·l't.i<-111.] Abmham ,Jarvis wa.s bom at Norwalk, Conn., May 5 (O.S.), 173!l. Hi>< father, who conformeJ to the Church of England, had remove,! thither from Huntington, L. 1.. some two years before the future bishop's birth. He was, therefore, from the beginning, trained under the influences of that Church to tho highest office in which he was, iu time, to be ca.lletl. His early ;.tndies were pnrsuctl at Stamford, under the charge of the Rev. Noah Well(ls, the Congregational minister of the town. who was a nowd instructor in his ,Jay. From Stamford he passed t.o Yale College, where he wa.s graduated in Ii 61. 1 "1781. April. A committl'c of four, appointed under :m .\ct. of (;t>ncml AS! rnary in t.hat year, "Mr. Jarvis WI\!! appointed to proceed to Scotland for consecration. Happily, the necessity WIIB averted, and thi, proposed measure never p=d beyond its incipient stage. In 1796 Bishop Seabury died, and a.t the Convention of the Oincese in May, .Mr. Jarvis was elected bis successor. This elec• t.ion ho declined. When, however, at the adjourned Annual Convention in 17!!7. the election was renewed, with a. una.nimoui-; vote of both clerb'Y and laity, it was accepted, and Dr.• Jarvis (th1i Doctorate having been conferred on him by Yale College, at the previous Commencement) was consecrated in Trinity Church, New Haven, October 18, 1797, by Bishop White, assi$ted by Bisl1opi< Provost and Bass. A specfal convention had been summoned for the occw;ion, at which, immediately after the act of consecration was completed, tl1e new Bishop received and replied to an u.cldreAA of recognition, and afterwards delivered his first charge. The Bishop remained in Middletown till the autumn of 179!1, when he removed to Cheshire (where he had already placed hii son in the-academy), and built himself a bouJe. Here the shadow of death fell upon his home in the loss of his excellent and amiable wife, who died November 4, 1801. So that when his son was ready to begin his collegiate conrse in 1803, he removed to New Haven, where his homo continued to be for the remainder of his life. "0n the 4th of July, 1806, he was married in Trinity Church, New York, to Mrs. Lucy Lewis, widow of Nathar.iel Lewis of Philadelphia, a lady of great excellence, who contributed much to the comfort of his declining years." Bishop .Jarvis's Episcopate covered a period of a little less than sbc:teen years, and extended through the time when the Church was experiencing the trials of her deepest depression. Her extreme depression did not immediately follow the war of the Revolution, but is to be looked for in the earlier years c,f the present century, when the generation which had clung to her in and after the revo lutionary troubles were pa.<;sing away, nn A n SVB.

Was a brother of Bishop Abraham Jarvis, and pO~'l<$sed, in an eminent degree, the traits of thi.<1 distinguished man. In every relation of life, he was the sincere and devoted Christian gentle man. He h11d a fine and discriminating mind and an excellent memory; a man of much reading, he was a ready reasoner, a pleasant and cheerful companion. He lived to a patriarchal age. seeing the c¾i.ldren of the third, and even the fourth, generation. One of his great-grandchildren thus descnoes her fin-t .;sit to him. She was in her fourteenth year, and she expected to see the old gentleman feeble and decrepit, sitting in the corner in a comfortable easy chair, when, on passing iuto the houise, she ,;11,w, instead, an elderly man rlescending a ladder from a peach tree in I.he front yard, with basket in hand, coming to greet her, which he did with the greatest cordiality. Her next visit to him was when she was a mother, takin~ her own child with her. This was his gre11.t-1,."I'eat-grandson, and :,he 1 Hezekiah ,Jarvis bought from ,John Betts, Samuel Gihbs, and Wm.

Another incident, related by a grandson, show11 the influence or the piety and simple dignity of this venerable man upon his youth ful mind. On a visit to bis grandfllther, in his early childhood, he knelt for the first time at evening prayer with his aged kinsman, and was deeply impressed with the fervor and solemnity of that family devotion; and aguin, at the breakfast table, when the Divine blessing wus invoked upon the morning repast, so vivid was the impression upon the mind of the gmndson that both the family prayer und the very words of tho morning !,'Tate have been the models of lull own devotions through his later life.

Samuel Farmnr Jarvis wn.s born nt Middletown, Connecticut; Jnn. 20, 1786. He wns the second and only surviving son-the youngest child-of the Rt. Rev. Ahrahnm Jnnis, tbe second Bishop of Connecticut. At the time of his birth his father wns rector of Christ Church, l\liclclletown, n. position which be held from 176-1 to 1799. The early studies of Mr. Jn.rvis were under his father's roof and instruction. But. in 1798 he was put nnder the cnte of that distin guished !'Cholnr and instructor, Dr. ,John Bowden, at Cheshire Acad emy. He entered Yale Colll'ge in 1802, becoming u. member of the sophomore cl11 ..-.s. and was grndun.ted· with honors in 1S05. The lute Professor Sillimn.n says of him: " I wns alJsent in Eni-c• land during most of the year tlmt he gr11 Several yea.rs before the publication of this volume-in 1842- Dr. Jarvis had resigned the rectorship of the parish in Middletown. Bo spoke of "domestic calamities'' as the chief cu.use of bis resignation. Of these no more need hero be said-though so much could be said-than that in tho investigation which grew out of them, the truly high-minded and honomblc chairman of the investigating committee declared that "he bad never known a. public man pass through such an ordeal i.o perfectly unscathed." Bis release from parochial charge did not, however, leave Dr. ,Jarvis free to prosecute his historical labors without interrup tion. There were calls made upon him in various directions, a.ud those calls involved loss of time in &lll!wering them. Re was a trustee of Trinity College, and of the General Theo logical Seminary; secretary and troii.surcr of the Christian Knowl edge Society; a. member and secretary of the Standing Com• mitt.ea of Connecticut; a.nd a deputy from t.h11t Diocese to tl1<' General Conventions of 18.i.t, 184i, nnd 1850. Then, his casin~ of access, a..'ld the reudiness with which b,• responded to all calls upon his time u.ud pen, Jud to many other interruptions of his labors. ·' Now he was called off to write a book or a pamphlet on the Homan controversy; now to prepare n sermon on some specially important topic; and continually to reply to letters asking advice or information, in doing which he was obliged to enter on laborious researches, and to sum up results in an elaborate way." During the period now under re\;ew, be,,ides sermons printed in this country and in En:;hLnd, he published Discourses on Prophecy, with au :\ ppendix, bciug n refutation of Mil!crism, 1843; No Union with Rome, 1843; an edition of Dr. Hartwell Horne"s Muriol1ttry, 18-14: :\ $ynopticul Table of Egyptian and Sacred History, 18-l6; The Colonies oi Benven, a. Convention Sermon, 18-16; A Reply to Milner's End of Cuntro• versy, 184 '7; a.nd A Y oice from Connecticut., occa5ioned hy the late Pastoral Letter of the Bishop of X orth Carolina. I s.rn. ,\ nd a.II this while his great work was going on, so that Vol. I of his proposed History-The Ch11rch of the Redeemed-was published in 1850. Nor was this all. Scarcely "bad he resigned bis charg'-' in Middletown when he began to do missionary d_nty at n small sta tion which he himself established in the neighhorhood. This he continued to serve, with only interruptions occasioned by his neccs. sa.ry absences, till within a few months of his death. For some DESCENDA.'ITS OF WILLLUC-FO'ORTJI G~~Elt.6.TION. 49 yea.rs, he u'lUll.lly walked the distance between bis home and this station-several miles-undeterred by weather or n.ny other cnusc." This life of untiring industry n.nd conscientious labor went on, with no continuous interruption but that of a visit to Englnnd in 1844, until 1850. In the autumn of that year, symptoms of dis ease began to manifost themselves. No treatment succeeded in removing them, and he died at Middletown, March 26, 1851. One who was his pupil, and who was honored with his friend ship, has written words which shall close this brief sketch of a useful, fa.ithfu~ nnd honored ~ife. "As a preacher, Dr. Jarvis was remarkable for the clear and elegant style in which he set forth weighty truths. Few men ever wrote purer English. None ever put more mntter into.their ser mons. His manner in the pulpit was grave and dignified. He used but little gesture, though the tones of his voice were earnest a.nd solemn. "Any one meeting Dr. Jarvis, ill any-company, would mark hint at once as an ecclesiastic nnd a scholar, and would be attracted by his courteous and even courtly bearing. Intercourse arid famil iarity presented him as one of the most transparent and guileless of men. And notwithst:mcling the bitter trials through which he passed, and the 1111.rsh lessons which he learned of the danger of relying on anything human, he ret.-iined these characteristics to the la.st. ' I WO\lld rather,' he once sn.id in a. letter to me, ' be deceived ·every hour of every day, than to live in such n. state of suspicion and distnist of everybody as --does.' lt was honest sincerity of heart and purpose, anticipating that in others of which it wns con scious in itself, and this was accompanied with ~ most com,Plete submission to and faith in the v.ill and v.;~dom of God. I had once written to him to the effect that he seemed to have a.ttaineu entire trust in God's overruling care. 'Not entire,' was bis reply, 'for then I should not only Le suLmL--sive, but should not even feel anxior1-.•: this I have not reached.' "It wa.-. my privilege to he with him almost constantly ,luring the closing- scenes of his life, and they have left with me a memory which cnn never pa! NoAII J.\IIVlf'. Wa,; born in Norwalk, Conn., ,July 22, 1 rns. His noble qualities of mind and heart, conspicuous in his domes• tic relations, could only be realized by.an inmate of his family. In that charmed circle he was ever the ldnd and devoted lmsb:u11l, the affectionate fathl'r, tlie guide and protector of his children, beloved and vencmtcd by them all. Of a cheerful and genial dis• position, the youngest child could approach him, assured of his parental kindnes.-s a.1111 ~ympathy, while hi.~ pure example am! unaffected dignity of deportment suppressed all undue familiarity. Gifted with line convorsational powers, he bad a keen sen:;e of wit and humor, and ww< the very t'()UI of that innocent conviviality that sheds such a cheerful influence and lu~trc over the eud,·ar• mcnts of home. Although dignified in his manner, affable am[ courteous to an eminent degree, he enjoyed a joke imrneru;l'ly. Ho was a true-hearted American. and loved the land of his birth, the glorious land of \Vashington. His cousin, Colonel Stephen Jarvis, was a staunch Royalit 1 Sec Skctcu Xo. mi.

Soon after be became a resident of New York, be was the trastee, friend, a.nd adviser of the Patwon of .Alba.ny, Genera.I Stephen Van Rensselaer, a.nd managed bis large estate, scattered tbrongbout the different wards of the city. He also took charge of other estates, among which were those of Gov. Morgan Lewis, and the Hon. Robert Kennedy of England. About the year 1811 be received the appointment of Collector of Assessments, and held the office 17 yea.rs. He collected millions of money with such fidelity that, on the resignation of his office a.nd final adjustment of his account..", the Boa.rd of Aldermen, thwugh an appointed co=ittee, resolved to cancel the bonds that had been given from time to time by Mr. Jarvis, stating "that having been tlebited with the whole amount of every assessment placed in bis ha.nds, Ju: hai< paid over and accounted for every cent of tJu: same." They did this to show their perfect satis!action with bis management of public affairs and as an indorsement of his unwav ering integrity. The following extract from a letter of a relative of Mr. Jarvis is a graceful tribute of respect to bis uncle: "I well remember uncle Noah, whom I have always considered as my second father, the best friend I ever had, and how gratified lie was with the act of the corporation regarding his bonds. I cherish a grateful remembrance of his partial adoption of me, his starting me in business, liis judicious advice and his continued assists.nee until I was able to take Cllre of myself." In this connection, it is pleasant to recall the sterling honesty and integrity of his son, Charles A. Jar."is. who, in his business relations, strongly resembled his father. Left sole executor thwugb the death of the two seniors, he carried out the spirit of his father's will to the letter, never deviating thwugh all the fluctuations of his own business, nor touching a dollar through all the co=ercial crises that were so often trying the merchant· and the trader. Indeed, by bis careful management investments were more than doubled. in amount and value. Mr. Noah Jarvis died in 1842, bequeathing to bis relatives the richest of all legacies, a good name and an unsullied reputation. No. Name. Bom. Died. llanied or Remarks.

Early in life he removed to Cheshiri:,, where he worked at his trade, which was that of a carpenter and C1t.binet-maker. On the 20th October, 1803, he married Mary Ann Atwater, with whom he lived most happily during the remainder of his life, and who bore him a numerous family of children. He was a worthy and prominent man in the town, and was often chosen to places of trust, which he filled successfully, and with unwavering fidelity. In 1813, he purcha."Cd of the Rev. Samuel Farmar Jarvis, D.D., LL.D., the dwelling of £he late Bishop Jarvis. In this house were passed many pleasant years among his children, cheerful"'relatives, and friends, and in this venerable dwelling the good man sank to rest, believing and trusting in a higher and a better life. To those who survive, there is not only a sad, but pleasing satisfaction in recalling the memories that cluster around this cherished old home stead. '\!r. Jarvis was jevoted to the doctrines and sen-ices of the Epis copal Church, in which he was educated.

"'ILLIAll .fAltVIII Was born at Norwalk, Connecticut, on the :?9th of February, 1796, and was the youngest and thirteenth child of Hezekiah Jarvis. His birthday being on the :?9th of F'ebrua.ry, and it being leap year. Mr. Jarvis was eight years old beforti he had one of these natal days, and had but seventeen in a.IL He died on tho 3d of Oct.ober, 1871, aged 75 years and seven months. His mother's maiden name was Samh W11itney, a daughter of Mr. Whitney of Darien, who lived to be one hundrtid years, three months, and three days old. IIis wif<> was over ninety at the time of her death. The mother of Mr. Jarvis was, at the time of her marriage with his father, a widow Na.~h, and he was a widower with several children. There arc some interesting fact~ in regard to Mrs. Whitney, the mother of l\lrs. ,farvis, which arc related hy her only surviving ~dchild. After she had pas,scd her 80th year, her ey~ight returned to her as clear and bright as in the days of her youth. She became an Episcopalian from her own reading and research. and was de\·oted t.o the doctrine,; of the Church. The Re,·.. Mr. Mather, the Congregational dergyman, treated her with the greatest ldndness and respect, often loaning her his horse to ride to Stam• ford, a distance of five miles, to enjoy the Church service. Her first husband, not being in sympathy with the doctrines of the Episcopal Church, sometimes refused to let her have /,i.< hon-e, when l>6 DESClCNDA.~TS OJI' WlLLTAll-J'OU.RTJI Gl:NERATJO:S. the energetic old lady would declare her intention to walk, saying where duty dictated, the Lord would provide a way. And so it often proved, for she would hardly get started before some neighbor or friendly traveler would assist her to the place in which her soul delighted. Bishop Jarvis and Mr. Hezekiah Jarvis were brothers, and the Bishop's son, the Rev. Dr. Samuel Farmar Jarvis, offered to fit his young cousin, William, for college, who was, for some time, an inmate of fhe Doctor's family, and who had decided to devote him sel!, as soon as his studies were completed, to the ministry of the Church. The friendship between th- two cousins was deep, true, and lasting, and when sorrow and embarrassment overtook the Doctor in the latter part of his life, the love of his cousin William proved a precious boon to his wounded spirit. Mr. Jarvis was graduated at Union College, and afterwards pur sued his theological stndies at ~ew Haven,· Conn. In August, 1822, he was ordained deacon at Norwalk, by the late Bishop Browne!~ and, on the 5th of No.,ember of tho following year, was ordained priest, also by him, at Ea.~ IIaddam, at which place, and Hebron, be ministered for some t~e. While at Hebron he won the aftection and :friendship of• Dr. Peters, who was also Governor of th" State, and this friendship continued unabated until death separated them. During Mr. Jarvis's ministry at Hebron, a church was ·erected, which was then considered one of t11e handsomest rural churches in the diocese. This church was altered and ropaired only a few months before his death, and it was a great pleasure to him to prove to his old parishioners that he still remembered them with affection, by presenth1g to the parish a font of Ohio stone, com memorative of his rectorsbip from 1821 to 1826. Mr. Jarvis was married by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Brownell, in December, 1825, to Miss Eliza.beth Miller Hart, eldest daughter of Major Richard "William and Mrs. Eliza.beth Hart of Saybrook, Connecticut, a marriage which resulted in great and lifelong happi ness. ~'rom Hebron, :Mr. Jarvis removed to Chatham, now Portland, Conn., where he continued rector of Trinity Church until disabied by a severe bronchitis, induced by undue exercisA of his \"Oice while suffering from whooping cqugh. For months he could only spt>ak in a whh,--per, and for yea.rs suffered great pain and discomfort. He DESCENDA.,'TS 01' WILLIAK-FOUIITll GENERATION. 5 i was at last reluctantly compelled to give up r.11 hope of doing official work again, and resigued his parish. He was succeeded by the Rev. Samuel Emory, who wa;,, for some time, a member o! his family. Mr. Jarvi.'! retired from the ministry, sore as was the trial, and devoted himself to his home and family. He was surrounded by frioods, and these, with an interesting domestic circle, made his life cheerful and happy. There were fi.-e danghr.ers and four sons, and as in every picture there must be shadows, so in this beautiful nnd sunny group the dark shadow of death entered, and cast a. gloom around the happy fireside. Four of these children were swept away almost simultaneously by that terrible !JCOurge, !!CBrlet fever. Mr. Jarvis C(llltinued to reside i11 Portland until 1852, when ho removed to ~Iiddletown, where he remained until after the marria;,.re of his eldest daughter to Col Samuel Colt of Hartford, Connecti cut, when be made that city his home. "As a preacher, Mr. Jarvis wu.s fervent and impreNSive, both hi•1 voice and delivery being good; as a pastor, he was distinguished for fidelity and devotion; as a friend, he wns faithful and generous, and as a. husband, kind, wise, and affectionate." In July, 1866, the fumily of Mr. ,Jarvis were again affiicted by the death of his youngest son, John S11.mue~ named after his _tried friend, Gov. Peters. He had just completed his 29th year, lt;ii.ving a widow and two young daughters. · But Mr. Jarvis's life was drawing to a close. Afilicted· with a painful disease, he often suffered intensely, but, with a ·trusting faith, he resigned himself to the will of his Heavenly Father, await• ing the hour when he shonld be with his loved ones who had gone before. Conscious that his end was approaching, he bF!de farewell to his beloved wife, his children nnd grandchildren~ and to his cherished friends, whom be had lo\·e 10:'.>. No. Name. Born.

G1o:0RGE OaLEVrE JAR\"Is Son of the late John ,Jarvis, was born in New Canaan, Connecticut, July 14, l i95. Dr. Jarvis was a thorough English scliolar, and an educator of youth during his earlier man~ood and scholastic life. He studied his profession with his ~rather-in-law, Dr. Truman Spencer Wet more of Winchester, Connecticut, and was a painstaking and persevering student. • He was licensed to practice medicine and surgery in 1S17, and first settled in Torrington. After the expira tion of two years, he removed to Colebrook, where he remained until 1840, when he ].,ft for Portland, a _beautiful village on th!' Connecticut river opposite Middletown. There he practiced his profession with increasing patronage aud success until he died at the age of eighty, a victim to erysipelas and diphtheria. He received the degree of 11.D. from Yale College in 1S46. Dr. Jarvis was of an in\·entive turn of mind, and his genius and skill were largely exercised in that direction. .His "An.rcrsTER." an ins~ntment for the more ready and easy manner of reducing and replacing fractures and dislocations, proved a success. and gave him an em;able notoriety. At one time, he \;sited Europe, where he remained several months. In London the! recognized DF~'ICE!'."DA.'iT!l 01" W!LLIAll-l"IFrH GESERATIOS. 6j his geniu;; and ability, and, by special invitation, he delivered a course of lectures on '' Fractures and Dislocations," before the learned magnates of that ancient and intellectual city. These were pa blished at the time in the "London Lancet." As a mark of respect for the man, and ~ an acknowledgment of hi;; genius, learning, and skill, the "Society for the Promotion of Arts a.nd Commerce" presented him the largest gold medcl ever received by an American. Prince Albert was president of .the society, and the doctor bad the distinguished honor of receiving it at the baud of the prince himself. During the last days of the doctor's life, he prepared a work on Klcctricity and Ozone. It was carefully written, and showed that the author was not only an accomplished scholar, but, a profound thinker and scientist. Dr. Jarvis was a model husband and father, and a genial friend and companion. He was the soul of hospitality and honor, n.nd was never more happy than when 11urrounded by a circle of his neighbors and· friends. Like all of the unme, he had a Jove for the humorou.'!, and wa.<1 ever ready at fxm mot u.nd repartee. With a keen and appreciative musical ear, bis whole life seemed rounded as with pleasant harmonies. Dr. Jarvis married a very estimable lady, u. Miss l\farshall, in the town where he first settled. They had an interesting family of children, who were devoted to their parent.~, and who loved to meet with them around the dome;;tic hearth. Firm in the doctrines of the Epi,;copal Church, their Christmas and other holidays were the occasions of the most happy and interesting annual re-unions, and of the renewal of delightful associations. These two, who lived such a consistent Christian life, and were so much endeared to each other and their children, have passed away, and now sleep side by side in the little church-yard across the way from their once happy home, awaiting thn glorious morn ing of the Resurrection Day. 178.

After her fath• er's death, she met Jonathan White, who afterward became her husband, in the· village of Rye, N. Y., where she had been living since 1817. He was born in Ireland, Oct. 28, 1799, and was the son of par ents, both of whom had lived romantic lives. His father, Joseph White, wa.s an Englishman, and an officer in the Royal Nary, and bis mother was- Mary, daughter of an Irish Baronet, Sir Darby O'Kennedy. Joseph White commenced life by eloping with this lady, who is said to have been both beautiful and accomplished. Afterwards, for challenging a brother officer to mortal combat, he DESCE.'iDANT!l OF WILLIAM-FlrTII OICNICRATION. 71 was dismissed the service, a circumstance which seems to have embitte!lld him against the British Government, and, finally, espousing the cause of Ireland, he joined with Emmet and McN even in the Reoollion of l i!JS. The result was that he, with his wife and f~mily, eventually fled to this country, where he settled in the neigh borhood of Shrewsbury, N. J. He named the place Barnsville, as a barn was tho only building visible, and it still retains that name. His oldest sons had been educated in Dublin University, but Jonathan, the youngest, had to take such chances as Now Jersey offered in those times. He however proved more American and enterprising, and kept tho bm,iness which bis father left him, of the manufacture of carved tortoise-shell and ivory combs. Jonathan White was, as his father had been, 11. man of high honor and integrity, hating all shams and hollow pretences, always aiming lo be rather than lo seem. His manner was reserved, keen, and sarcastic, and commanded respect rather than love. Ho provided generously for his family, and WIL'< very ho!ipitablc to hi,; numerous friends. He died in New Brunswick, N.. I., in 1835, at 36 years of age. and was buried in Christ Church graveyard. In lll4!l, his wife's mother, .Margaret Parmale ,Jarvis, widow of .Tcs..«e ,Jarvis, wn.'< buried by his side. Seven years after the death of Jonathan Whit-1,1 on Sept. l!l, 1842, his widow married Abraham Voorhees, a man fourteen years younger than herself. He WlL'-' infatuate,· •vith lrnr bea11ty, which Rho retained to th<' IIL"t of her life. She was intelligent, with spark ling wit, quick at repartee, of dignified demeanor, and, yet, i SWl&ll Jarvis White was married April 22, 1850, in St. Bartholo mew's Church, N. Y., toL'bas. E!enry Waterbury, eon of John Water• bury and Sarah Weed, of Darien, Conn. The W aterbury1 ani of English descent, and the Weeds of Puritan ancestry. Ben• jamin, father of Sal'&b Weed, was an officer in the Revolutionary war of 1776, Blanche W nterbury i11 the only surviving child of this marriage. Charles Jay White is a wholesale merchant of N. Y., and was mar• ried at Portchcster, N. Y., Oct. 10, 1855, to :Mary A. Abendroth, a.. beautiful young lady of German parentage, but born in this country. Her parents were ironmongers, in Darmstadt, Germany, and came io the United States to avoid the CODllCription of their three sons into the German army, thus sacrificing their interest iD the fatherland for the B&ke of their sons. Margaret Jarvis White, who possessed the same prepossessing qualities as her sister Harriet, was married Nov. 19, 1857, to Jere• miab R. Fairbank, of Elizabeth, N. J. After about six years of happy wedded life, she dfod or hasty consumption at Oakham, MWJS., on June 2~, 1864. She left one daughter, Jessie Fairbank. Willard P.

JARVIS. [The followillg ~ketch hi ubhreviuted from un urticlc which appenred in the Jr,,nt,..4' Gazet~ or 16th Apn1. 1878.] '' Probably the oldest Judge in the Dominion. a.nd perhaps thf wides~ known. died yesterday at Cornwall, Ontario. Geo. Stephen Benjamin Jarvis, Judge of the united counties of Stormont, Dundas, and Glenga.rry, for ma.ny yea.rs a familiar figure at Diocesan a.nd Pro vincia.i Synods or the Anglican Church, one of the oldest remain• ing of the York Pioneers, and conspicuous throughout Ontario for the interest ta.ken by him during O\•er half a. century in the devel, opment of a. Canadian military spirit, was born a.t Fredericton, New Brunswick, on the 21st April, li!li. His father, Stephen Jarvis, served a.s a. Lieutenant of Cavalry in the South Carolina Royalists during the Revolut.ionary War:• For an extended account of his eventful life we refer our read• ers to our sketch of him which appears in its proper pla.ce in another part ·of this work. · "The lat~ .Judge's military education commenced a.t a very early age. When the war of 1812 broke out and his fa.the.r's regiment was ordered to the Upper Province, we find be bad passed through all the non-commissioned grades and had become a. volunteer attached to the 49th Kini's Regiment. With this corps he first smelt powder a.t Queenstov:n Heights, and in his later days never tired of recounting bis experiences on that occasion. "At Queenstown young Jarvis, then 15 years old, was ta.ken prisoner, and for some days he was retained in-the camp of Gen eral Van Rensselaer. He soo°' however, gained his release and rejoined the 49th, in which he henceforth seems to have occupied the position of a. gentleman cadet, passing all his time ,.;th the officers, and admitted to the privileges of their mess. Soon after. the regiment retired into Foi;t George for-the winter. Early in the spring of 1813, young Jarvis was sent to Hamilton with a brigade of boats, and thence to York, with orders to bring back a DF.SC!CNDA:-"T!! OP WTI.l.Ul!-PIF'l'll GF.XlCRATlON. 75 party of grenadiers belonging to the 8th regiment. He failed in his mission for the excellent reason that he found York invested by the Americans, and, on the 27th April, he took part in the battle which, as all know, ended by the retreat of the British and Canadian forces to Kingston. En route, he was appointed an Assistant Commissary, and on arrh-al at Kingston was selected to fill an appointment on the staff of Sir R. Sheaffe. In this position he reniainep until, York being evacuated by the enemy, be was ordered to rejoin his regiment on the Niagara frontier, when, to his utter disgust, he found Fort George in the hands of the enemy, and the British in full retreat upon Hamilton. Thence young Jarvis was speedily dispatched on a reconnoiteringe."(J)edition in the· direction of Stony Creek. Four days afterwards, h~ fell in with the enemy's advanced guard, and after a council of "l\"at, the 49th, seven hundred strong, marched out to encounter the America.ns- the Light Company, to which llr. Jan-is was attached, leading the advance. The Americans were defeated by a force less than one fifth of their number, and, through the intervention of the fleet, were shut up until the "1\-inter in Fort George. On the 28th June, Jarvis was engaged at the capture of the Beaver dam, and subse quently in the affairs of Fort Schlosser and Black Rock. "On the 30th, he was present at the capture of Fort Niagara, which was retained during the remainder of the war. While stationed here, he was notified of his appointment to an ensigncy in the 8th (King's) Regiment, wh:ch he immediately joined, and with it he was prllSent at the capture of Fort Erie, and the subse _quent disastrous battle of Chippewa, where the 8th covered the retreat of the British forces. Next came Lundy'R Lane, the most terrible action of the war, when Jarvis, who had then atwned the age of 17 years and 3 months, commanded a company of his battalion, and acted throughout with singular intrepidity. T11e storming of Fort Erie, perhaps the bloodieia;t strife of the war, again found Jams at the front, and here, again, on the 17th of September. he was taken prisoner, escaping after a series of singu lar adventures. The evacuation of the fort by the Americans shortly afterwards brought to a close the war on the Niagara frontier, and the 8th received orders to march to Montreal, from which they embarked for Englnnd. The deceased's military career was thus cut short. In the spring of 1815 l\1r. ,Jarvis was stationed at Windsor Castle, but shortly afterward!< he was placed on half pay or reduction. Througb the inu•rcession of Sir R. Sheaffe he i6 DlalCESDA:0."l'fl OF wn.r.rAM-FIJ'TIT GESERATIOS. was, however, reappointed-this time to the 104th regiment, sta tioned in Canadu, but hardly had he arrived out, when the 104th was disbanded, and he was ugain placed on the retired list." "In 1817, Mr. Jarvis commenced the study of the law, and in the succeeding yeur he was attached to the firm of the late Hon. Jonas Jones of BroeJ..-ville, in which he becii.me a partner in 1820. In January, 1823, he was called to the Bar, being then sixty-ninth on the roll Of all his contemporaries, Mr. Norton Buell of Toronto, is now the only survivor. In 1834, Mr. Jarvis was named a Bencher of the Luw Society of Upper Canadu; in 1835, County Judge of Prescott and. Russell; in 183i, of Leeds and Grenville: and in J 842, of Stormont, Dundus, a.nd Glengarry. The latter appointment he held to the day of hi.'! death, though for the past year his duti~ have bee!! performed by the Junior Judge. The Judge's career on the Bench, extending over 51 years, bas through• out been marked by the =e zeal and unswerving devotion to duty which signalized his brief but active service as a soldier. During his judicial career, notwithstanding the immense amount of work he performed, it is on record that only four cases of those decided by him were appealed., and two of these were upheld by the Supreme Courts." "ln 1836, the deceased Judge was elected to represent the town of Cornwall in the Provincial Parliament, and, in I s;;o, was appointed Liflut.-Colonel of the 1st Stormont Militia.

He waa related by birth, and also by marriage, to the Jarvis Ca.mily, Capt. Samuel Jarvis being his grt>.a.t grandfather. In early life, about the year 1807, he went to New York, in which city, a ft>w yea.rs later, he established himself as a watch• maker and jeweler, on the corner of Brondway and Vesey st.root, and continued in this busines.'< until 1820. Y.'rom that year until 1841, he de,·oted bis attention to the mre and management of real estate, t>njoying the confidence of, and being employed by, such men n..-. Gen. S. Yan Rensselaer. Gen. Morgan Lewis, .John J. Astor.· and other well-known, eminent citizenR of New York. )fr. Osborn was twice married. At. the age of 23 years he married l\fiss Huldah .Tarvis, daughter of Noah ,Jarvis; they had six children. After her decease, in 1827, he married l\fi'-"-' Mary A. White of New York. By this second marriage t.hey had six children. In the year 18-1 I, he retired from activ(• busine&! and remo\'ed to Norwalk, his nati\'e town, where he resided until bis death, in 1869.

His father and mother died oC yellow fever during the preva lence of that disease in ~ew York in 1801. He and his sister Eliwbeth were, consequently. for se,•ernl years, in the care of their grandfather Chapman's family. When Nel'IOn was about five years old, he was placed in charge of his grandfather, Hezekiah Jar• vis, who ra,;ded in the old homestead of the ,Jarvis family in Nor• walk, Conn., and this he Wlll! accustomed to call his home. He attended school at the academy in Norwalk, afterward.q 11t the acud emy in Greenfield, and at Cheshire, Conn. Like David, he loved to throw stones. The weathe!'cock of St. Paul's church, Norwalk; fell by his hands. The boarding-hom,e at Greenfield Academy was incidentally supplie 1 )Inrri<'tl Oct. 29, 1840. to E. S. L:mders; April, 186."i, Geo.

Elm1ia died Satur day, June 21, 182:-l, lea,·ing a danghtr,r four days old. In the following autumn, l\Ir.• Jarvii, vi!litetl t.!10Routh agnin in tho interest,; of his brother-in-law, Mr. Jonathan "\Vaterbnry, with whom he continued in bu!liness connection for i;eveml years. On the 25th November, 1825, he mo.rried Mary, eldci.t daughter of Lewis Raymond, a prominent citizen of Sau~tuck, now West,. port, Conn. Of this marriage, there w1•re born one Hon, who died when about ten yeaI'!I of age, and three daug-bterM, still living. .-\.bout 1829, he entert--tl into partnership with his uncle, Smnul'I ,Jarvis, unrler the style of S. & N. ,Jarvi:., and so continued until 18:-17, when Samuel retired; and Nelson 11&'!1tmed thEl debts of the firm, ·and, hy untiring industry, paid them in full. Tho burden he assumed, and so nobly carried, prevented the acquirement of tho wealth that otherwise would have resulteu from hi;; indu,.try and perseverance. About 184i, Mr. Jarvis, having a large acquaintance among the clergy of .the Episcopal Church in the United StatcM and Canada. at the requCHt of his friends among the clergy, prominent among them the late Rev. Dr. Muhlenberg-was imluced to special efforts to obtain uniformity in the" cut of the cloth'' for the clergy, more in character 'l\;th the habit and dress of the ministers of the English Church, and with regard to clerical comfort and convenience. Soon the notoriety of a largely increased business in this special branch led him to adopt the title (first of the name) of "Clerical Tailor," which ha.." now ber.ome common to those who serve the clergy in that business. A Christian and Churchman of firm though modest character, early led by a working- faith to loving duties in the church, he was prominent in the parish, where he worshiped, not only as a con stant observer, but as a doer of church work. For many years he' was Superintendent of St. Paul's Sunday-school in Trinity Parish, New York. His children, hand in hand with him, wended their way thither, and were known and observed of all. In the front pew of old St. Paul's, in his rntter days, his gray head was seen as he· stood, and kneeled, and prayed in the parish where he wor shiped in his youth. 116 flEl!CENDANT!I OJ' WILLIAM-Fln'II GENERATIOS. 1n July, 1859, he wa.~ elected to fill a vacancy in the vestry of Trinity parish, and by re-election, continued to be a vestryman in that corporation until removed by death. In his family, with hiR wife and children, Mr. Jarvis was kind, indulgent, and loving, always attentive to those duties, which the church had taught him were the strength o! the household and the R,d~ of Gori. F.n.rly in the summllr of 1862, because of his declining health, he wBN induced to visit bis native town, at the residenco of hill daugh• ter. Elosia.. During the i;ummer he gradually failed in strength; at the setting in of winter was unable to leave his room, and on the 8th January, I 863, quietly breathed bis last. '1110 funeral sen-ice wa.~ read in the Memorial Church of the Holy Trinity, Westport, by the Rev. Doctors .Morgan Dix, Benj. I. Haight, and Wm. Cooper Mead. An address was given in the course of the servicC!!, by the Rev. Dr. Di."<, who sa.id "Although the custom of delivering addresses on occasions such as that which brings us here to-day is comparatively unknown in the church, yet arc there moments when such an addition to the solemn ser vice of burial appears not to be ill-timed. I knew him, and may with propriety speak thus at bis burial. Onr departed brother -med to fill the idea of a good man; when thinking of him, those words of the Psalmist come to the tnind as though especially appro priate, Psalm xv.-Lct him who \villetb read." Mr. Jarvis was buried on Saturday, the 10th of January, 1863, in the consecrated ground of Christ Church, ·w estport, Conn., committed by the Re,·. Benjamin I.

His father held civil and ecclesiastical offices of trust and influence for many years, while his mother watched tenderly for the welfare of the children, and impressed upon them the necessity of honesty and industry, a high respect for relipon, and a regular attendance upon the services of the church. The subject of this sketch received a fair education at the Episcopal Academy in Cheshire. then under the care of the Rev. Dr. Tillotson Bronson; hut, at the age of eighteen, ·preferring ~ mercantile to a professional life, he went to New York, and by the aid of his uncle, Noah Jan-is, obtained a clerkship for one year, without salary. His home, during tl1is time, was with his uncle, and his clerkship, thongh an agreeable one, was useful only, as it proved, in the way of education, for his employers failed at the end of the second year, and he was left without a ,rltuation. The general depression in all circles of business after 1826, made it exceedingly difficult to obtain another place suited to his mind. His uncle, therefore, having confidence in his ability and persever• ance, kindly assisted him to open a grocery store, and, after ten years' hard labor and assiduous attention to the business, he had accumulated enough to enter upon the wholesale trade. In !85~. be withdrew from the firm of Stanton & Jarvis with a cr(.-dit and character untarnished by failure or compromise, and that, too, after an active business life of 26 years-many of them years of disaster and ruin to old and established houses. This step wa..~ in accorJ. ance with a resolution early formed that he would retire when it. should be com·enient after he had accumulated a moderate com• petency. In 1860, be was unanimously elected President of the Lenox Fire Insurance Company, New York, an office which he still holds (1879), and under whose oversight it bas attained a good standing among the reliable institutions of the city. In 1840. he moved to Brooklyn, and, in 1844, built the house which he now occupies, ha,-inp; identified himself in many ways 1 )Iurrietl in Bulfulo, by Rev. Eu. Ingersoll. D.D. 88 Dl".IICEXDANT!I OF WILLIAM-FIP'l'U GENERATION. with the city of his adoption. He was among the Corpomtors of the Brooklyn Athenoum, the South Brooklyn Savings Bo.nk (of which for twenty-five years he has been Vice-President), the Atlan• tic Fire Insurance Co., the Home Life Insurance Co., a Director of the Atlantic Dock Co., a.nd he is connected with several educational a.nd benevolent institutions. He served his time in the New York Seventh Regiment, and is now a member of the Veteran Corps. While working actively in New York and Brooklyn, lie has ne,•er Jost his interest in his native village. He visits it annually, and thus shows that his heart fondly turns to the home and scenes of his youth. In 18G5, he suggested a soldiers' monument in Cheshire, and was the chief contributor towards its erection-a monument believed to have been the first of tr.e ldnd in the country, and commemorat ing, among others, the name of his friend and schoolmate, Admiral Andrew H. Foote. He gave liberally towards the enlargement of the church in that pla.ce, and towards the erection of Bronson Hall, one of the buildings of the Episcopal Academy. He aided Bishop Randall in the building of Jarvis Hall at Golden, Colorado, and also to rebuild it after its destruction by a tornado in 1869. He has established scholarships 'in· the Berkeley Divinity School at Middletowu. Conn., and assisted several young men in their collegi• ate and theological education. · Mr. Jarvis has been three times married. His first wife was Catharine, daughter of Samuel Jarvis, New York, a lady endowed with many. cliarms of person and character, who died suddenly within a year after their marriage. · His second wife was Mary, the only daughter of Cornelius McLean, Xew York, a Christian woman and a perfect exemplifica tion of that charity which is "kind in thought, word, and deed," -qualitiel:l that rendered her an u.ft'ectionate mother and a stead fast friend. The third wife of Mr. Jarvis is a daughter of the late Lewis Jenkins of Buffalo, who. like himself and his former companions, is u. communicant of the Episcopal Church, and being of u. cheer ful and happy disposition, makes his home e,·er welcome to hi~ friends. Of his five children (all by his second wife), two died in infancy. two arrived to manhood, and one daughter only sun·ives-:\lary, th"' wife of F. ,J. Bancroft, M.D., Denver, Colorado.

His mother was a daughter of l\Iujor ,John Caldwel~ who was one of the prominent citizens of Hartford at thu.t period. From his mother and m1tt.ernal grandfather he inherited !!Orne of his most mu.rked characteristics, und if we may judge from the miniature of his mother, he inherited, in a great measure, her beautiful features. His mother, around whom circled llO muny gentle and tender memories, und whom he loved so fondly, died before he had completed his seventh year. It was but a little while, however, after hi;: mother's death, that the young man's life-work began.. . Before her death, his father's business affairs became embar- DFJl~ll:SDASTR 011' wn.r.rAM-FlTi'II OESICRATIOS. 93 rassed, and eventually he lost the bulk of his fortune. At ten years of age, Snmuel was sent to his f11ther't1 factory, at Ware, Mll.\!ll., where, with intervals at school and on II farm, he remained until he was sent to Amherst to extend bis education. With little taste for study, he yet learned rapidly all pradcal branches of knowledge within bis reach, and was, even in those days, a leader among the boys, either in work or play. Among thl'.l traditions of his boyhood, one is given by a neigl1bor on the Hill, showing at bow early an age his attention was directed to the AHM with which his name was to be so intimately connected, and so well known the world over. When about seven yea.rs of age, he was one day missing for some time, and when at last he was discovered, be was seated under a tree, with a pistol taken entirely to pieces, and the different parts carefully arranged around him, and which he was beginning to reconstruct-a feat which, to his great delight, he soon accomplished. A relative remembers, one morning, when crossing on the bridge to F,ast Hartford, being startled by the sharp report of a pistol ringing out on the clear air. Looking onward, he discov ered young Colt, who had stopped, on bis way ba<:k to the farm where he was then worldng, after enjoying a holiday in Hartford, to indulge in the delight of firing his pistol into the river. These trifling incidents serve to show the bent of his youthful mind, and bow early in life he evinced a taste for fire-arms. While at school at Amherst, his father had arranged for sending him to sea, but, before the ship was ready to sail, he concluded be would not wait to be sent for, and left school without leave from any one, after some patriotic demonstrations on the 4th of July, which did not meet the approval of the school authorities. Arriv ing at home unexpecte · On this voyage to ~cutta, he first conceived the idea. of the now well-known "Colt's Revolver," and he made, on shipboard, a little wooden model of the pistol, which is still preserved as a precio11B relic in the• cabinet at Arnunnear. On his return from sea, he wus for u time uguiu in his father's factory at W11.re, whore he learned much valuable and pmcticul chemical inform11tiou from Mr. Willium Rrnith, who WIii! in charge of the dyeing nnd bleach ing department. With tl1c knowledge thus ~-ained us his chief capital, he hegan, in 1832, to give chemical lectures. and admin istered laughing or nitrous oxide gos, going into every town of two thousand inhabit.nuts in the Uniwd Stute8, C'unuda, and Nova Scoti11.. Excepting in his o,vn St.ate, be went under the asaumed name of Dr. Coult. His lectures met with varying pecuniary success, but u.s ,~ general thing were popular. I<'rom the proceeds. he not only ma1111ged to ,mpport himself, but tu begin his cl1erished scheme of ha\;ng the fabrication of his arms commenced at Balti more. In 1835, he went to England, and there secured his fin,1, patents, returning in January, 1836. He wn.~, at this time, six feet in height, slender, with a soldierly presence anti bearing. His face wllB of uncommO!J beiiuty. with very perfect features, clear, honest eyes of light. hazel, with a wealth of the finest hair, covering his head in clear, crisp curls. As he grew older, his fig11re d~veloped into more massive proportions, seeming to keep pace with the ever-expanding, active brain'. As the years went on, he began to feel the responsibilities of the position to which he had raised himself. His opinion was asked by the ";se and gre:.t, and even monarchs sought the benefit of his wide experience and inventive genius in their own national works. The endearing ties. of home and children had brought out into strong life all the gentleness and tenderness of his nature, when a soul-beauty grew upon the noble' face which made it more charming than it was in .all the glory of youth, even though threads of sih-er were stealing in among the brown and clustering locks. Soon after his return from Europe, he took out his American patents, and before the close of 1836, a company was organized for the manufacture of his arms at Paterson, New Jersey. He was in Florida in the winter of 183i, during the Indian war, and made some life-long friends among the officers of the army there. He had hoped to get the Government to adopt his arm, but failed to accomplish his object. and was obliged, to meet his liabilities, to sell his patent to the Paterson Company. 11>:~c·F.SflAST,< 01' WILl,l.\l,l-1"11'TII nt.:NEHATIOS, !15 In 1840, a boarrl of officers reported nnanimomdy in favor or the pistols. Jn 184:!, the Patel'l4on Company failed, lllld all manufacture of the arms was suspended. 'l'ho Submarine Battery was another of his inventions, and ho made with it some most succeHsfnl experiments, both in Now York Harl10r, and on tho Potomac. at Washington. At tho same time, he was engaged in tho offing telegraph, and be laid successfully, 11nd used, the first 1rnbmarine telegraph from the city to Coney Island and Fire Island Light. He used 11..~phaltnru nnd wax as insulators, the whole licing inclosed "in a leaden pipe. As a pecun iary speculation, the oiling telegraph, both at N cw York and Boston, failed. At the commencement of the Mexican wnr, he received from the Government, at the instance of Gen. T11ylor. an order for one thousand pistols, and although large numbers had boon m11nufac. turcd at Paterson, it wns not, at this time, possible to procure n single arm in the market. In 1847, he commenced manufacturing his armi nt Whitney ville, near New IInven, having bought hnck his patent rights, and the so-c11lled '· Tl'Xlln )lode~•• the " Ranger:;" soon were a terror to the l\Icxiclllls and to nil enemies, and were of world-wide renown. For years he had bravely worked on, in spite of obstacles and disappointments, and now his labor and perseverance wore to meet their full fruition, and a success achieved by few was his, from this time onward. Fortune brought him wealth and honor, hut he never relaxed his labors, nnd when, at len1:,rth, he could return to his native town to reside, it was his pride to build there the largest private armory in the world. In 1854, he begun to build a dyke along the bank of the Con• necticut, thus reclaiming a portion of beautiful meadow land which was overflowed by the river freshets. \Vithin this embankment, be built the armory. nnd a villa1;e of brick houses for the workmen and their families. The armory wa.s completed in the fall of 1:;.;;;, In June, 1856, he was nmrrie lmlht givun upon the occwiion of tluit brilli11nt corr•mony. Return• ing homo just befort> the winter, in Fehr1111ry, l85i, ho moved into the home which he had built and where he delight,1,d to gather everything to make hotuti attractive and plo1111ant. The first sorrow that came to tl111t huppy household wa.~ in tho lol!S of their fil'Ht child, an infant H<>n of just ten months olrl.

Another i;on wai< horn in November, 1858, the only child who outlived infancy. 'rwo duughters lived jm,t long enough to make all love them, when they followed tltoir littlo hrotlier to P11ru.dise. · Frequent, attacks of gout and rheumatism were telling visil>ly npon Col. Colt'!! strength, but while the body was suffering r,10 inexpressibly, the mind and will wore strong as ever. On his sick-bed, he managed 11nd directed the afi'ail'll of t,be annory with almost the minuteness 11.nd all the cleame1,1.~• or health, and the business steadily increased and prospered. In ~'ebruary, 1861, he went to Cuba, hoping, in th!• more genial climate oi the tropics, to throw·off the blighting disea.'I<•, but while this hope was partially realized, firm health had gone for ever, and on the 10th of January, 1862, the summons cume, and the home he had made so lovely, and where he had known ~o great huppi• ness and sorrow, was desolate indeed. His funeral was attended on the 14th, at his late residence. Fifteen hundred men, who were in his employ at the time of his death, came to look upon his face for the last time, and then forming in two lines between the house and the grave, the body was carried to its last resting place, amid the men for whom, in life, he had done so much, and in who8e well-being he had taken so deep an interest. The flags of the city were at half•IIllll!t on the day he died, and in many a home made happy by his prosperity there were mourning hearts. Thus ·passed away in his prime a man who combined, in an unusual degree, strength, the power to control men, executive and invent• ive ability and genius, with great gentleness. He was universally just, his tastes refined and elegant, his judgment correct and critical. With hypocrisy he had no patience, no dealing; and his scorn of it, and love of truth, were very prominent traits of his character. His wit was quick and ready, and rarely failed him. For the aged and little children, he had always a kind word, and the first fruits of his green-houses and orchards were for the sick and afflicted.

Y., in a small village, then called Jarvis Corners. In the spring of 1820, his father sold the old homestead, and a.fter a temporary residence in the village, removed, with bis family, in 1821, to Canastoke, town of Lenox, in Madison county. The farm on which he located was part of the tract known as the Indian Reservation, and is sit_uated on the Erie Canal, about mid• way between the city of Utica and Syracuse. Until the year 1825, Dr. Jarvis worked on the farm during the pleasant months of summer, and in the winter attended the district school. He then went to an adjoining town, engaging with a Mr. James Beebe to learn the trade of a tanner and currier. In the yf'.ar 1828, from the depression of business, he left Mr. Beebe and his ~nne"ry, to seek a more profitable calling. In the winter of 1830, he \-isited his uncle, Dr. Hammond of Dover, Dutchess Co., who proposed that he ~hould study medicine. The proposition was accepted, and, in the spring of 1832, he entered his uncle's office, where he applied himself closely to hi" books. After the necessary lapse_ of time, and after be had gained the pre,;cribed amount of knowledge, be was graduated, with all due honors, in the winter of 1S34 and 1S35, from the old Univer sity in Barclay street, New York, under Professors l\lott, Rhine• lander, and others of like celebrity. He then returned to Dover, and entered into partnership with bis uncle. The following winter, February 26, 1836, he married .Miss Jean• nette J. Butler, daughter of l\lr. William Butler of New Hartford, Connecticut. :Miss Butler wu.s principal of a young ladies' ,;emi• nary, a talented and very lovely woman. Tho fruit of this happy union was tho birth of a daughter, Louise Joonnotte, now Mrs. L. P. Fay, who wn.~ born January IO, 1837. ln tho autumn of the same year, Mrs. Jarvis took a severe cold; which settled on her lungs, finally developing into phthisis, which resulted in her death, April 24, 1838. From a broken and now desolate household, tho daughter was sent to tho homo and care of the doctor's mother, where, after a brief period, ho followed her. In tho year 1840, ho began, as it were, anew tho business of life. Among the Thompsonians, Eclectic11, and tho innumerable medical pretenders that swarm over the country like noisy and hungry locusts, he set up bis practice, and notwithstanding his surroundings, prosecuted his profession with success and profit. It was only after ten years and much deliberation, that he again concluded to enter the matrimonial paradise, and enjoy the feli• cities of 1~ home and domestic pcu.ce and happiness. This decided upon, it was not long before he had wooed and won the nccom• plished :Mis.~ Belen ~r. Raymond, daughter of A. Raymond, Esq. The marriage of the happy pair took place September 7, HI-IS. With a new home, new hopai, and renewed nmbition, tho Cuturc now looked bright ar.rl prosperous. With his eldest daughter married (the scco;1d d);ng at two years of age), and with three sons (the two eldest at Cornell University), the doctor is cheerful and happy in bis family surroundings. In the year 1873, the doctor and his lady visited Europe, where they spent five months in most delightful tra\·el and sight-seeing. Although reared and educated 1LS an Episcopalian, he has left .the Church for the Unitarian faith. The doctor is, at the present writing, seventy years of age, and still his eye is as bright, his step as firm and elastic, as when at forty. Like bis nonagenarian grandfather, he may live on, growing in grace, and reserving his strength, until, in the fulness of time, be may be numbered with his centenarian progenitors. 490. No. Name.

In no member of it have these feat1u-es shone brighter than in the subject who he~ds our brief sketch. We make the following extract from a letter recently received from lir. Jarvis, which explains itself: '' On the brea.ldng out of the Rebellion, I was on a. visit to my parents, whom l never failed to ,-isit once a ymr.

On the 14th of D~>eemlwr, l SG3, while principal of the aca,h•my at Derby, Y ennont, he enlisted for three years. as a private, in Company E, First Y er!llont Cavalry. On ,January 21, lSG-1, he joined his regiment in camp at Stevens burg, Virginia, where he found, amon~ th,· officers, several o( hi>< old college fnend.-< and cla.~mates. but as he had a disabled hand. from a felon. he w:.s prevented from joining l~enernl Kilpatrick in his famous raid around Richmond. 1 Hnnlwnrc Ull'rchnnt.

General Urnnt ha.cl r(l(•cmtly joined the anny of the Potomac, thou~h Gent•rnl Mende remained in immediate comm;md. At sunrise, on the Hit of May, 1864, the nrmy forded the Rapi1la11, nnd at 2 P.M. were fired upon by the scouts and pickets of the enemy, who were soon driven be.ck to "~[ine Run." Tim• ended the first day of this campaign: On the following day, a.t 3 A.M .. the terrible " Battle of tlw Wilderness" began, and durin~ the carnage of that fiorce conflict. he was in the hottest of the fight, while his comrades wero falli11g nround•him. The ca.va.lry were often dismounted. nnd oblig.. ,l to fight on foot, like the infantry. Near-" )line Run" the enemy charged suddenly and in force upon the Union nnny. which som,•• what disordered and smttered t.11e Union troops, but quickly rally ing, the cavalry wel"f' dismounted, and went into the fight on foot. During this engagement. and 1i,i Private Woodbury wn.~ kneeling behind a fence, a rifle-ball struck the ra1l, piercing it so far n.s to be partly seen. and throwing dust ·and snmll i,plinters into his faec. He partially moved to one side to give a comrade pince, who, iu a moment, was shot in the left t,•mplc, and foll dead at his side. On another occasion, ,-tauding hehind a small tree ahout six inchc" in -diameter, a rifle-lmll strut,k it breast high, when he hastily sc,nght a safer shelter. About 2 P.lr. the cavalry remounted, chnrginJ,: upon the enemy, when they ft'!) back.

At the commencement of the present enterprise, we met with the fact that several families knew but little about their early ancestors. Very many expretlSCd a desire to know more, 11nd to offer their aid to furnish such information as was in their P')Wer. The late Hon. Kent Jarvis had succeeded in collecting quite a full record of bis family, but had not been able to trace it back beyond William Jarvis, who w:is born in 1 i2i, and who died at Brainard's Bridge, Rensselaer County, N cw York, in I ii:!. This William Jarvis was an officer in the French war. He had a son Kent, who was a major in the Revolution, and who was killed by the Indions, near Saratoga. Great efforts have been made, but in vain, tu learn more of the active lives of these promi nent and patriotic men. As we said before, neither Mr. Kent Jarvis nor any of hi.q family have been able to trace their branch back any further than we have mentioned, but many of them tell us they ha,·e heard " old people," their "grandparents" and "ancestors," say that they came from different towns in Connecticut, naming Stamford, Norwalk, Dan• bury, Poundridge, etc. Some of them went farther. claiming that they were related to the late Bishop Jar\'is of Connecticut. Another tradition that l\lr. Kent Jarvis, and many others referred to, is, that William Jarvis, the officer in the French war, had a brother Benjamin, who was a loyalist, and in consequence, was obliged to leave the country, and go to Nova Scotia. .Mr. Kent Jarvis, under date of January 18, J 875, writeij; "I well remember a tradition in our family from my earliest childhood (I am nearly 74 years old), that my grandfather was a cousin of Bishop Jar,·is of Connecticut, also, that a great uncle, Benjamin Jarvis, a brother of my grandfather, at the time of the Re,·olution, espoused the cause of the King. and removed from New England to :-.=orn Scotia, where, it was said, he died se,·eral years after. leavinA" a large estate, and never married." Again, on the 17th of December, 1876, be writes: "In looking over an old English prayer-book, which was my grandfather's. on one of the blank leaves I find in my father's handwriting, that. he was born in Poundridge, Feb. 15, 1768; and that be began to work DP'..RCE.VDA!'IT!cl OF TIIOMA~. 155 with l\lr. Eli Bristo~ Ja.n. 13, 1775, in the 17th year of his age." Poundridge is near the Connecticut line, in W estcbester Co., ten or fifteen miles north of Norwalk. The lute Rev. Asahel H. Jervis wrote to Hon. Kent Jarvis, bis cousin, under da.te of March 23, 1:'176 (be died Dec. 16, 1877, aged 84 years): "J think you are ·correct in regard to the commis sion of nncle Kent, and bis being killed by the Indians. The commission of my grandfather William was among my papers, and was highly prized by me on account of its being a parchment. I well remember the strong remarks which were made by gentle men of distinction, when they e.umined it. It was among papers which my sister, Polly Williams, took, after she was married to Ca.pt. Billy Williams. I doubt not but it is still in existence, but is 150 miles from here. One thing more Twill mention before I clo~. Uncle Benjamin, the old Tory, is the mau, with others, to whom General \Vashington said in his sympathy: • Gentlemen, I wisl, you all well. l 1ci.•l1 you may all 90 lo Hem,cn, but yore mrut all 90 tlicre by tl,e way of .Nova Scotia.' 1 Now, he is dead, and I ·have '1\-ritten to inquire 11s to his property, said to be ' worth a guinea an hour.' He was ne\·er married. We a.re his legal heirs." Some of the family have written us that they have seen letters from this Benjamin, the ·' rich old bachelor," as he was called, in which be desired some of his young relatives to come and live with him in Nova Scotia, so as to inherit hi~ property. The reply in one instance was, " My father used to say he did not want the money, as uncle Ben was a Tory." We make the following extract from a letter written by :Mrs. Electa Jarvis Scarrett (now in her ninety-first year), dated Decem ber 10, 1878: "l\ly grandfather's brother, Benjamin ,Jarvis, in the early part of the revolutionary struggle, took advantage of the offer of the English Government to give a large tract of land to any one who would adhere to the crown, and emigrated to Nom Scotia, where he amassed a large fortune. He lived to be very aged, and, I 1 Aftt,r the ev11cuntion of the British troops, under the command of Sir Guy Carleton, on the 25th .Nov., 1,1:!3, greut numbers of loyalists were waiting for tr:msports to convey them to X ovu Scotia. It is supposed th11t a number of them c11llcd upon Gen. \Vushington after his entrance into New York, and solicited his int!uence to Jct them remain, when they rccch·e think, adopted a. distant connection of the .Jarvis family, who became his heir. He had none of his own. ".My father, Doctor Joseph Jarvi.~, wn.q, I think, a. native of Danbury, Connecticut. He studied mroicine in Lanesborough. Berkshiri, Co., l\fa.ss. He i,en,·oo a,; surgeon in the American Revolutionary War over three years, after which he returned to Lanesborough, and practiced his profe!lsion there until November. 1805, when he removed to New Baltimore, on the hanks of the Hudson river, where he closed his useful and honorable life, af,"1'11 fifty-four. I have only to say of my father, he was a. man I w11s proud to call father. l\fy dear parents hail fourteen children. Of that large family, 1 am the only one left in this world of tea~. "I have written this poor letter with my own band, without glasses." On the records of the Court o! Probate of l<'a.irfield, October 3, l i6i, we find that Benjamin Jam of N orwn.lk, was administrator of the estate of William Jan.;s, late of Norwalk. Also on the records of the same court, Ju.:.y :!0, l'i!l5, that Jonathan Knight was appointed administrator on tl1c estate of William ,Tarvis, JiLte of Norwalk. Of Benjamin Jarvis we find thut, on Xovember 14, 1760, he was witness to a deed; also deeds of land to him, dated .April 21, I 764, February 10, Ji75; and mortgage from him, April 16, 17i6; and October 30, l 7~3, a deed which ~tatt'll that the said Benjamin ,Tar vis had joined the enemies of the Unite first settlers of Huntington, L. I. Here we find, in 16i!I, m:rny real estate records in the names of William Jarvis, Thoma.~ .Jarvis. and Jonathan Jan;s, supposed to ha\·e been brother:<, and who may have been brothers of the J anises among the early settlers of :\fas saehusetts, but we have found none but traditional evidence of it. Of the above three brothers, William is established by bis will Df-"011:.'lfDAS'TS 01' TIIOll.\l•-TIIIRll Gl!:Sl!:IL\TIOX. l;jj a,; the progenitor of a portion of the Connecticut hrnnch. ,Tonn than bus be,m claimed hy C11ptnin P. C. ,Jarvis, and others of Huntington, L. I., as the ancestor of the numerous families now living in that town. Thi,; leaves Thomas without any «lisco\·ered deS<·emlants on Long Island, and it is hclieved that he removed from there to Connecti cut, where he sNtled, and lic1·a111c the progenitor of that hmneh of the family whoM traditions nhove m<'ntioned point, to Norwalk and \;cinity as their pluce of origin. We have collected all the information we could obtain about this Thomas Jarvis. and those believed to be his immediate descendants, and present it to our readers, in tabular fonn, as the best result at which we have been able to arrive.

At a Convocation in Canton, on 'Wednesday evening, January 11, 1Si7, he 11tood by hi11 Bishop 11nd reheal'l!ed some of his early missionary exporiencCK in the ho11ring of ll large congre gation with suC"h carm•stnoss nutl eloquence 111< to be particularly noticeable.

'.l'he circnmstunces are briefly related by hi!:! pastor in 11, letter to Bishop Bedell: "He attended divine :;ervice twice on Sundny, and wllS unu,nmlly hearty in the responseR and 11in1:,ring. At home throughout t.he day he was cheerful 11,lmo~t to gayety, and, after returning from church in the evening. sung with the family until quite late." )Ionday morn ing he nrose in apparent he11lth. and with characteristic precision be detailed his pl11ns and work for the d11y, consulting )frs. Jarvis with regard to the preparations for an anticipated trip to which he was looking forward with great plea.sure. But very soon he com plained of some tlistrcs:; about the heart, which. though it neither a.lamied his family nor the physician, who was quickly called, yet impressed him strongly with the belief th11t the end b1Ld come. With perfect composure and resignation he met the final summons. "'fhy will be done," he said with emph::i6is; and bidding fare1vdl to the loved ones about him. he quietly passed to the rest that remaineth for the people of God. It was an evidence of the high ·c,tePnt in which be was lwld in the city of .Massillon that during the funeml ser,·ices on Thursday afternoon subsequent to his dccc1L8e, places of business, stores, shops, banks, and schools were closed out of respect to his memory. Bishop Bedell, in his address to tbe Annual Convention of the Diocese of Ohio, June, I S7i, thus spoke of his decease and shmmed up his character: "We have mourned the death of some devoted laymen during the past year: among them, Kent JnrYis, Esq.. of I iO ll1':NOIGSIIASTK OF THOMAII-FIP'TH Olr.l'/P:IIATIOS, )lnssillon, who has been prominent in the councils of our Church.

C. ,farvi11 and oth,m~ of tho name in Huntington, on Long IRland, have been lahoring a.sHiduously to diHrover, if po1111iblo, the origin of tlrn ,lllrvis family in that region. W o h11vo searched through tho records of tho town, examinod old wills, tleed11, !a.rnily bibles, and the lists of births, marriago11, and deaths, presorved 1,y the different churches, noting down truclitionH, and exploring all sources of information that might lead to satiRfnct.ory r,~ultR. (See Appendices A, B. D, G, ancl N.) We have found, by these researches, that a.bout tire yoor 1661 occurH tire name of Stephen Jarvis, and in the yeur J 6i9, the names of William Jarvis, Thomas Jarvis, and Jonathan ,forvis, ull prominent men in their several callings, and all evidently of mature age, as their names frequently appear in the early records of real estate transactions. One tradition is that the tb1 eo last-mentioned were brothers, and they may a.II have been brothers or near relatives of John Jarvis, who is mentioned as being one of a coroner's jury in Bos ton, on the 28th of September, I 630. We have discovered a tradition among the dl"scenclants of the early settlers of Jarvises in Massachusutts, that one or more of the name went to Hartford, Conn., and was the ancestor of the Huntington and Connecticut branch. This tradition may be true, as from history we learn that the CossECTICIJT CoLONY originated in Hartford about the year 1639, and that Huntington. L. T., wa.~ peopled from the Connecticut Colony about 1653. Thus, in the absence o! any ~tronger evidence, we are led to think that our ancestors in Huntington may ha.,·e come from Boston by the way of Hartford, Conn. As we have already stated in another place, we have found that Stephen Jarvis had n son Stephen, and that that ~on, Steph.,n, ,Jr .• ha.cl two sons: Stephen, Jr., born June 2, IGS3, Abmham, born April 26, IGS5; but after diligent search we have found no further descendants of them. By the will of William Jarvis, the testator, we learn that he was the father of Captain Samuel Jan-is of Norwalk, Conn.; by tradi- I i6 ltESCESIIAST!I "" JIISATIIAS-IIECOSll n~:s~:K,\TIHS. tionary an DESCENDANTS OF ,TONA THAX.

Tho prompt rPp!y, "Twelve dollars per month," surprised him, lmt with some trepidation the offer was accepted, when his evenings and leisure time were devoted to the study oC surveying, this being considered, at that time, the hasis of dvil engineering. On the 18th of April, 1818, he left Rome, on foot, in company with a locating party of about twelve persons, with a conveyance for their baggage ancl tents, all under the direction of Mr. Roberts. After a muddy journey, thoy pitched their tents 1Lt Geddysburgh, near Syracuse. En.rly in July, the location was completed to the Seneca river, at Monteimma. ln tl1ree months, he had rit!en Crom an aJte• man to· the position of a re1:,"ltlar rod man. They returned home and disbanded in July. ~'rom Utica. to .Montezuma., the work of the middle division had been mostly put under contract, nnd resident engineers were nppointed to direct the work. .Mr. Jervis wns n.ssigned to take charge of a. section of i,eventeen miles in .Madison and Ouonda~ counties, under the supen;sion of David S. Bates, who was only a good land surveyor, but who soon allowed him to run the levels. At. the close of the working sea.son that year, he wus sent to the quarries to weigh Jock-~tonei, for the canal. The following year he was made resident eni,.rineer of Mr. Bates'" division. at a salary of $1.25 per day, and $50 expense,:. This wns considered as quite satisfactory, as the employment was but about nine months in the year. The population of New York, at that time, was but 1,250,000, and a large part of the State was a wildemes.s. The inhabitant,; wcr<' mainly occupied in clearing the forests, draining the lands, and constructing mills, hou~cs, etc., for their own use.

At an early age he entered upon the study of medicine in the office of Dr. Valentine ::\lott, the celebrated surgeon. Having received his degree from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, he was, for a short time, on duty at the College Hospital. He commenced the practice of medicine in Ithaca, X. Y. In 1S33, he received his appointment to the position of assistant surgeon in the army, and was stationed. for a number of yenrs, nt Fort Snelling, on the Upper .Mississippi. He here first interested himself in the Indian; studied their habits and customs. and ~ent several valuable com• munications in regard to them to the .1.V. l: Spfrit of t/,c Times. In the ::\fexican War. lie was on General 7..achary Tnylor's staff, and actfrely participated in se\·ernl battles, among others, those of Palo Alto, Resaca, and ::\lonterey; and was afterwards stationed on the )Icxican frontier. He also served in the Florida. and Black Hawk wars. Dr. J ar\;s was· a constant contributor to sewrnl literary and scientific journals. Among his pa1Jers we find letters from Pro fessor A~i7~ Spencer F. Baird, and others. in reprd to scientific subjects. His collections of :Mexican and Indian curiosities were deposited with the N. Y. Historical Society, of which he was a member. We subjoin an extract from the resolutions adopted by the Society after his den.th. "lle..•ulved, That in the death of Dr. N. S. Jll.I'\-is, for many years an eminent surgeon in the U. S. Army, the Historical Society of New York deplore the Joss of a distinguished associate and corre• spending member, to whom it has been largely indebted for numerous and valuable contribution~ ... 1 (;r:111e)tlaughtcr of the fatt· Ht•\· ..Jo]111 :-;1:111ford. At the commencement of the late war, Dr. Jarvis, ha\;ing received the appointment of :Medical Director of tho Department of Mary• land, was ordered from San Antonio, Texas, to Baltimore, and. shortly afterward, in 181;:?, died of a disease contracted while on duty in the South. Following are some of the remarks made by Dr. Josiah Simpson, at 11 meeting or the :Medical Department of )laryland, convened in consequence of the death of Dr. Jan-is: "In Mocial intercourse, he was sprightly and entertaining; in his attachment, generous and constant; in his daily transactions with the world, punctilious and honornb)!'. As a surgeon, bis ability was unquestioned. and he ever acquitted himself, both in the execu tive and professional relations of his position, with marked urbanity of manner, a keen sense of honor, and a. conscientious regard to truth and justice. "Quis dcsidcrio sit pudor ant modus Tnm curi cupitisY" In 1863, the following circular was issued from the War Depart ment: "BALTlllORF~ ::\{arch ::)st. "Whereas it is inconsistent and inappropriate that u miliull'y institution established by the 1\ational Government, and devoted to the care of its sick and wounded, should be called by a narue that is no"·, and must hereafter be, pr.::eminent in its association with rebels and rebellion. It is hereby announced that, from this date, the United States General Hospitai known as Stewart's l\.Iun sion, shall be designated as the "Jnrvis General Hospita~" in tribute to the lute Surgeon X.

As a tribute of respect to this eminent physician, on the da.y or his funera~ General Di."<: ordered out four companies of the Third New York Infantry. who escorted the remains to the railway d;.put, preparatory to tlwir remoYal to their Just resting-place. 1011.

DOCTOR CBAJlLES JARVIS Was a distinguished physician and surgeon, a profound aDd sagacious statesman, and a brilliant orator. The friend and asso ciate of Hancock, Adams, and Jefferson, he was alike illustrious in both his private and public character. He was devoted to the wel fare and honor of his country, and took an active part in the cow:: cils of those di~tinguished men, whose wisdom and patriotism, under the guidnnce of an over-::-;iling Pro\;dence, shaped the desti nies of the Colonies during the Revolutionary strnggle for Amer ican independence. Dr. Jarvis was born in 1748, and died at the age of 59. His grandfather emigrated from Wales, and became a merchant in Boston. He was the son of Leonard Jarvi;; and Sarah Church, who was the daughter of Sheriff Church, and granddaughter of Colonel Benjamin Church of Bristol At an early age, the Doctor developed those rare qualities of mind and heart which endeared him to all who knew him. l\Iag nanimity, sincerity, and discretion marked his youthful character. His understanding was strong, his imagination ardent and refined. Liberally educated, his inborn habits of thinking were thus strengthened, and his influence and usefulness more thoroughly felt in the community. On his return from England, where he passed considerable time in completing his education in medical science. he began to discover a more than ordinary concern for the welfare and lmppiness of his fellow men. An enemy to tyranny and superstition, he studied the principles of civil liberty, and it was the '1.;sh of his hf'.art to see them firmly established in his native land, and his country free from those calamities which had so often afflicted humanity. This induced him to abandon the most Battering prospects, at the commencement 1 Del. Constitutional Convention, 17'88, and one of the Sl:lte Legislature until 1796. of the Revolutionary war, and take a decided part in support of the rights and liberties of America. Although infle::uole in his opinions, they were the result of reflec tion and experience, and he sought to establish republican princi ples by the influence of reason and the force of truth. Happily for his country, his powers of reasoning were accompanied with an eloquence as irresisti"ble as the truths he urged. The love and con fidence of his fellow citizens kept pace with his talents and useful ness, and. in all important concerns of the town, his coun!'Cl and advice were held in the highest estimation. Of the conventions that adopted the State and Federal Constitu tions, be was a leading and influential member, and, for several years, representt'd the town in General Court. The recollection of bis influence and talents in the public councils, and of his many other public services, can never be forgotten. His integrity. more than his powers of eloquence, rendered him respectable, even in the estimation of bis political opponents. Persecution, intolerance, and wrong in every form, were abhorrent to the sensibility of his disposition. Benevolence and humanity were the reigning virtues of his heart. On the return of peace, be pleaded successfully for the recall of those unfortunate men. w:iio, by the voice of an indignant country had been e~-iled for their loyalty. As a physician, he was enlightened, skilfuL liberal, and humane. In bis domestic life he was hospitable and kind, and to his friends he was particularly endeared by a sincerity of heart, accompanied by the pleasing urbanity of the polished gentleman. The grief and regret of bis unhappy wife and bereaved kindred were but poor testimony to the love he bore them. Ostentation was no element of his character, and he was no friend to pride and arrogance. His ambition was of the highest order, and be was desirous to ameliorate the condition of man, to protect the weak against the strong, and to establish laws which should equally secure the rights of all. If he was emulous of fame. bis demands were moderate. Although be made many sacrifices for others, for himself he looked oniy for the reputation of ha\-ing lived and died an honest man. 208 DESCE..,,.DANTS OF NATIIA..,,.IICL-FIJl'Tlr GE.,'ERATION. 2040.

Mr. Janis was a man of fine talents, in form and stature noble and commanding, with a genial and social nature. His manners were elegant, and his com·ersation ricb and polished, abounding in humor and anecdote, which made him a favorite in society, beloved and cherished by bis friends. He died suddenly in Weathersfield, Vt., leaving an afflicted wife to mourn bis loss. 2044- Philip Jarvis, Nov. 13. 1';62 Dec.. 3, 1831 Nov. 17'. 1786. 2085 Ann Hood, Aug. 17. 1';64 De<'. 30, 1848 7' children. 2086 John Head.

Soon 1Lfter his graduation, he studied medicine under his uncle, Dr. Charles Jarvis, who was an eminer..t physicillll of Boston, and, on being admitted to practice, he removed, in 1797, to Claremont, N. H. He there devoted himself to his profession and agricultural pursuits, until his retirement from practice, which was about the year I 820. He was not only an eminent and successful practitioner, hut equally di;,-tinguished as a scientific and practical farmer. He was the first landholder in Claremont to apply the principles o{ chemistry to 11o"Ticulture. and as the result proved, his was the most highly cultimted and productive farm in the county. ln lSl 1. he embarked extensively in the raising of fine wool, and was well known throughout New Hampshire ami \"ennont., for his extensive and successful operations as a wool-grower. His flocks were well known among farmers for their.number and superior quality, and his wool had a ,·cry high reputu.tion among the lead ing manufacturers. Doctor ,Jan·is was distinguished for ent!r:,.,y, enterprise, and per• severance. and his tu.lcnts would have carnt! in any profession. He was particularly successful in surgery, as he was not only 11, thorough anatomist, but was aided by great mechanical fogenuity and force of will. Although of a highly wrought temperament, he exhibited, in performing difficult opera tions, a degree of coolness, self,posses!!ion, and resolution equal to any emergency. His literary acquirements were highly respectable. He was a good classical scholar, an extensive reader of English and French literature, speaking Jt'rench with great fluency 11nd purity of idiom and accent. He encouraged talent in the young, especially in the professions. He was hospitable, liberal, and generoll>!, and his attachments were strong and enduring. In religions belief he wa.~ a Unitarian, but entirely free from prejudice. In pel"!lOD, he was of middle height, thin, muscular, and active. His complexion, fair; eyes, blue; and hair, fine, straight, and cbestni1t color. He was very temperate, and, through most of hi,; lile, rather abstemious.

The effect of these exertions on our commerce at the commence• ment of the Peninsular War, was of incalculable benefit. It gan, us the imnmn11e neutral trade of the contencling armies, and the expense of the war matie the 8Ule of the celebrated Spanish flock~ of sheep necessary, which were the most renowned in the world. Spain bad been improving and perfecting the value of their flocks for a thousand years. Mr. Jarvis, at different times. sent to this country 3,500 of these sheep, which was a larger number than came to America. from a.II other sources, and has been the means of adding untold millions to the agricultural wealth of the United States, and to its manufacturing industry. While in Lisbon, Mr. Jarvis met Lord St. \'incent, who cla.i1JJed relationship with him. as the following incident will show: •· L·ird St. Vincent, bearing of Mr. Jarvis, sent to him and requested a.., interview, thinking there must be a connection between them. Accompanied by Commodore Campbell, he ca.lied upon the English Admiral, and was much pleased with his noble, gentlemanly bear ing, and was struck by the resemblance ·between him and some of the Jarvis family, especially to bis Uncle Leonard. The Admiral treated the Consul in the most friendly, pleasant manner, and said that when be entered the navy as a midshipman he bad spelled his name Jarvis, but had been rallied by some of the officers for so doing, saying it was a corruption of the old Norman name Jer,10,",,, and they bad induced him to change it; but he bad no doubt they sprang from the ssme ancestors, in which opinion Mr. Jarvis fully coincided. The Admiral afterwards invited Commodore Campbell and Mr. Jarvis to dine with him. The Commodore accepted, but the Consul declined. He admired Lord St. Vincent. but he had maintained the most cordial intercourse with the French officers,' and as France and England were at variance, he disliked the appearance of dining in amity on board of. one of His Majesty's ships of war. In addition to which, the impressment of American seamen had caused unceasing collision between him and the British navy, e\·er since he ca.me to Lis~n. 1 Among these be wns most intimate with llr.

After a residence of nine years in Lisbon, Mr. Jarvis returned to this country, and in 1810 settled in Wethersfield Bow, on a large and beautiful tract of land. Here he attended to the im,truc tion of his children, securing for them the best teachers, and also de\;sing the best plans for developing the a,,"Ticultural and- manu facturing industries of the country. He wrote for the journals of tl1e day, and corresponded with eminent statesmen from 1816 to 1836 on the subject of the tariff and other matters affecting the industrial interests of the country, and his opinions and suggestions were received with the greatest consideration. His information on all such topics was act'urate and comprehensive. It was that of a statesman in a useful and practical form. His love of reading was great, his memory reten tive, which made him a most instructive and cheerful companion. Hi;: reading was ,·aried and extensive, embracing history, philo;:o phy. politics. and belles.lettres. Few men so fully understood and accurately remembered the facts connected with the formation of our political partie;., or who could give so intelligent and instruc tive an account of them. To bear him was like i;itting at the feet of some ancient chronicler. In his early life. be was oi: the Jeffer. sonian school of politic.~, but, in later life, he was a believer in .Mr. Clay and his policy.

Sprngue, E..«q~ who married her cousin, Miss Eliza Bart.Jett, and who was intimately acquainted with her, shows the lovelilless and excellence of her character: •· Perfectly unaffected and unassuming, she pos..c:essed an equa• nimity of mind which prosperity could not elate nor ad\•en;ity depress. Benevolent in her nature, she- was without a personal enemy. Regardless of herself, she ever sought to ameliorate the cares, sorrows, and misfortunes of her friend!<, and her sympathy and affection were devoted to their ease and comfort. She was fond of painting, belles-lettres, and the study of th., lan1:,"llages, and her leisure hours were spent in thus improving and liberalizing her mind. Though greatly attached to reading, she never suffered it to interfere \\ith her domestic avocations, but, \\itbont reluct ance, cheerfully fulfilled every duty in whatever station she \\"as placed. She was thoroughly read in the best English authon;, which was a great source of delight and interest to the friends who surrounded her, but the study which most engrossed her attention was the religion of the Saviour. His precept.q she dili gent.ly studied and obeyed, and His reli¢on she early professed. She returned to her native country to put in practice the bene\·olent. purposes of her heart, but that Being whose ways are inscrutable to human eyes, removed her to a higher sphere-to a. brighter and a better world. . She awaited the hour of her approaching death with calmness and resignation, and as her life had been conspicnous for every Christian virtue, her last end was tmuquil, peaceful, and serene."

Was the eldest son of Consul William Jarvis, and was placed under the tuition of Solomon Foote, at nine years of age, at Cas tleton, Vermont. Mr. Foote, in speaking of him, says, "He mani• fested early in life, those noble and manly qualities which distin guished him in maturer years." From Castleton, he went to Exeter Academy, N. H., where he appliecl himself so assiduously, that, at the age of fourteen he entered the Vt. University, then under the presidency of Rev. John Wheeler. He was the youngest member of his class, but by his manly character, and excellent scholarship, he won golden opinions from his teachers and classmates. Hon. Charles P. :Marsh, his intimate friend. and college associate, says of him: "His college duties were ever seasonably and fully performed, and his acts and influence were ever on the side of order and rightful authority. He scorned a mean act, and was firm and decided in hJS religious sentiments." He was graduated in 1839, a.nd immediately commenced the study of Jaw in the office of Hon. Leverett Saltonstall and Judge Ward in Salem, and soon ingratiated himself into their esteem. He entered the Law School in Cambridge in 18-10, and was a favorite and admirer of Judge Story, then a professor in that insti tution. but he was suddenly called from Cambridge by the death of his only brother, William. This affliction added to his religious scnsibiliti<'~, awakening his sympathies to an almost womanly ten derness.

His father died in 1859, when he devoted himself to his mother, and the settlement of his father's estate. In March, 1862, he felt it his duty to devote himself to the ser vice of his country, in that time of its greatest need, and, although his resolve wus a great trial to his mother and sisters, he declared "he would rather be a martyr for his country than remain at home in ease." Be raised a company for the 9th Regiment, Vt. Yo!tm teen-, and was chosen Captain. As it proved, his \\"hole term of service was one of suffering and self-sacrifice. By the treachery of Col. l\Iiles, at Harper's Ferry, twelve regiments, including the Vermont 9th, were made prisoners, and paroled in the strictest ma:iner. They were ordered to Chicago, where they endured great suffering and privation, for want of good food and comfortable quarters, until they were removed to Fort. Douglas. Captain Jan-is exerted himself to mitigate the sufferings and wants of his company. The Colonel was absent, in order t-0 effect an e.xchange, and the Lieutenant-Colonel being sick. placed the command of the camp under Mr. Jarvis, who was untir• ing in his efforts to relieve the sick, cheer and encourage the de spondent, and maintain the necessary discipline. Six New York regiments were exchanged early in the winter, but the 9th Vt. was not exchanged until ~!arch. They were detained till June, when they were ordered to Yorktown, Va. In July, Capt. Jan-is, now .Major, was sent ~orth, when he visited his mother and sisters, but his stay was brief, as he was soon ordered to Boston Harbor to take charge of Vermont conscripts. His mother and sisters accom panied him. The follo\\-iug extracts from a letter to his sister, l\Irs. )l111y P. S.

In less than three months, Major Jarvis was called to follow his nephew and namesake, and " was no more on earth." Early in October, he rejoined his regiment in Yorktown, and found it had sufiercd greatly from sickness. With his usual promptitude, he ma.de vigorous efforts to have the sick sent to hospitals in the North, and the remainder removed to Newbern, N. C. The regiment was removed to Newbern, and stationed at Xew port Barracks, thirty miles distant. Ever mindful of bis men and their happiness, he provided a generous Thanksgiving dinner for the regiment, and he hoped and intended that the giver should be unknown, but the generosity of their commander was too well known to remain undiscovered. • On the 1st of December, 1863, be was sent by CoL Ripley, with a cavalry escort, on a private expedition, when he was shot by a Confederate from behind a tree, and was mortally wounded. He was removed to a private house. The chaplain of the regiment gave this account of him: '· He has been my counsellor amid all my trials as chaplain, and I shall never find another that can fill his place." " He was accustomed to visit the hospital with me, when I went to read and pray with the sick and dying soldiers." " When the tidings reached the camp, that the Major was badly wounded, I rode directly out to him with the Colonel and other officers. He lay in an elegantly furnished room. I read one of the Psalms, and bowed in prayer by his bed-side. I then informed him that his situation was one of danger, to which he assented with great calmness. He sufiered great pain. At half past three he peacefully eiq>ired, and a Chris tian hero was crowned with glory. The world lost in him a Chris tian man, the regiment a father." The Yt. 9th Regiment passed a series of resolutions. expressi\·e of his noble qualities as an officer, a man, and a Christian. and of condolence with his afflicted relatives and friends. 220 Dll;t,ICE~;DAl>"TR 011' NATIIANlli:L-!IIXTU Gli:Nli:RATION.

[The Collo\\-ing description of this venerable old mansion is abbreviated from nn nrt.icle which appeared in t.bc ~YnrfJ,ern Arlrorat~. of ,July 18, 1876:) "Here and there in the nooks and corners of old Xcw England, colonial mansions yet remain, which carry us back in thought a century or more. While all else has changed, these old houses remain the same. They seem to speak and tell us what sort of men our forefathers were. Many may be found in the Connecti cut Valley, and, possibly, the conscrvuti\-e influence of the staid old river, mo\-ing slowly onward in its eourse, may ha\·e been the cause of their preservation. "Cl:i.remont can boast of o:ie of these, which is more tl,an ordi narily quaint and beautiful, namely, the residence of Col. Russell Jarvis, who was born 11,-ithin its walls, and has lh-ed in it ever since. "Tlic great tim hers of its frame show that houses built a century ago were built to stay. The immense piazza. with it-« giant colon nad.e, extending around three sides of the house, is nearly large enough to contain as many modern dwellings. The large elms in front, which spread their protecting arms above, are as sound and vigorous a.'< they were a hundred years afro, bnt are bolted and ironed tbroug:h and through that their great weight may not cnuS<• their own destruction. 1'he cool pln,-hing of the fountains beneath, the whispcrin~ of the "-inds through th,· lmmcbcs, pro\-idc an 1 Daughter of Wm.

Within are to be found an endless \"ILriety of ancient furniture and bric-a-brac, which would cause t.he iIISILllity of one posses..<;ed by the now fashionable mania. Dark carved secretaries, chairs, and sideboard; IL piano, which certainly is one of the oldest of its species, and looks the personificntion of modesty beside its more showy modem sister; china and tiles of the most quaint and curious pattern; pictures upon the walls which unmistakably show the touch of the master-hand-one, the pot ~r is simply immense. Its axles were forged by hand before the use of the lathe was known. A c:urio~ box in front is the driver's lofty perch; on a platform behind, the footman stands. Inside it is broad and roomy. The windows slide up and down in a curion.q sort of a way. Upon the sides are t-apacions pockets. In short, this is just snch a family coach as· one finds described in the English literature of a hundred years ago. Another carriage is still more interesting in some respects. The body, made of bamboo, was brought from England some ninety years since, and in form and construction is still a model of beauty. One of the pJeu..qantest associations connected with this is that Marquis Lafay er.te, on his \;sit to America in 1825, wa.~ conveyed in it from Claremont to W'indsor by the invitation of Colonel Jarvis's father. •• These old carriages had not been. disturbed for twenty-five yea.rs, and when, on Centennial Independence Day, it was proposed to bring them forth as worthy relics of the past, it was found necessary to enlarge the doors, which had been constructed with reference to the less stately equipages of the present day."
