C., for important records, and to all the many others who have con~ributed information he would tender his gratefuJ acknowledgments. This has been a laborious undertaking during the past three years and more, but a pleasant one, and the writer feels grateful that he bas heen enabled to success­ fully carry it through to its completion. RICHARD MANSFIELD, one of the first settlers of New Haven, and ancestor of about all of the Mansfields in Connecticut, and most of them in New York State, and in several of the western and southern States, came from Exeter, Devonshire, Eng., and settled in "Quinnipiac '' in 1639. This is shown by a deed of land from James Marshall, of Exeter, Eng., duly recorded in New Haven land records, Vol. 1, part of which was situated on the north west corner of what is now Elm St. and Church St., extending from near Temple St. easterly and round the corner, northerly, to near the present Wall St. He owned another lot on State St., nearly opposite the County Bank. For the first two or three years the settlers confined themselves to cultivating their lots in the Town plat, and near vicinity, included in what was called the first Division, and it is supposed he did not build on either of the above lots, unless it was temporary accommodations, perhaps a sort of a cellar, partly in the ground, with a thatched roof, which kind of habitations were built and occupied by many of the most respectable inhabitants in the first year or two. In the schedule of the list of the first Planters, 1641, he is put down at £400. 30 acres in the first Division, 6 acres in the ''Neck," 22 acres of meadow, and 88 in the second Division. About this time, it is supposed, he established his large farm, and built his dwelling-house and farm accommodations, at a place in the " second division ,, called the " East farms," some four and a-half miles out, on the present North. Haven road, where he lived, till he died, 10 Jan., 1655. His nearest neighbors were David Atwater, Capt. Nathaniel Turner, William Potter, William Bradley, and a few others. His wife's first name was Gillian; what her surname was, probably can never be ascertained. ·· After his death, she married, in 1657, Alexander Field, and removed into the Town to live with her husband in a house just purchased by him of Josiah Stanbrough of Southampton, L. I., and Elizabeth, his wife, formerly the wife of Thomas Wheeler, who had owned and occupied the same while living. '' House and Barn with about one acre of land facing easterly the Market Place.'' Richard :Mansfield and Gillian, his wife, had only two children, Joseph born about 1636, and lloses, born in January or February, 1639 Old Style. She had no children by her second marriage. Her second husband died in 1666, and :She then went to live with her son Moses, whose Homestead occupied the large Lot corner of Elm and Church streets, formerly his father Richard's. His Dwelling House fronted on Elm St. She died in 1669. We extract from the Colony Records the following: At a Court held 1643, Richard Mansfield demanded a debt of 40s. of Henry Gib­ bons, whreh said Henry promised to pay within a month, only desired to have 20s. of itt abated for lodging and firewood for a whole winter in his cellar, which was thought reasonable, and Richard :M:ansfield ordered to allow itt. The Gov. Theopilus Eaton gave oath of fidelity to Richard Mansfield·at General Court at New Haven, 1 July, 1644. 2 2 MANSFIELD G E~TEALOGY. At General Court 7 Oct., 1646, Bro. Richard Mansfield had liberty to dept. the Court. Richard Mansfield with John Thomas are appoynted to view East river for a Bridge, and consider in what place, and how with the least chardge it may be most conveynient and commodious to suite the end propounded! and report to the Governor and Magistrates, what their apprehensions are concerning it. At General Court Maye 1648 Richard Mansfield and David Atwater, is to finde eache of them a man to watch at the towne, in regard of ther house lots heare. In 1648 Richard Mansfield and others {18 in all) each of t:h.em fined 12d. for not bringing their weights and measures to be tryed, upon the day appoynted. 6th Feb., 1648. Richard :Mansfield, John Thompson, and Andrew Low, were complained of for their fencing lying down, the most part of the last summer, and yet it is not up. 20 posts Richard Ma:ns:field, 12 posts Andrew Low, and 6 posts John Thompson, as John Cooper informs. They answered it was a middle fence and some of the Quarter was in a demurr for some time whether to have it main­ tyned or taken away. Upon which consideration the Court ordered that they pay but 12d. a post for the whole time past. Exeter, the place from which he emigrated, has been a City, and governed by a :Mayor, etc., ever since the year 1200. There was a Sir John Mansfield, Knight, Mayor of the City a few years before the first emigration to New England. He was also "Master of the Minories, ancf Queen's Surveyor under Queen Elizabeth." There was a "rich merchant," a Mr. Marshall, in Exeter, who advanced consider­ able money to John Mansfield, a son of the above Sir John, to enable him to come over and settle in Ne'Y England. He came in the Regard, in 1634, settled in Charlestown, had a family, and died about 1670, but there are no descendants, at least by name of Mansfield. Probably this Mr. :Marshall whom Gov. Winthrop calls "that rich merchant," in his History of New England, was the same as the James Marshall, who sold all his possessions in New Haven to Richard Mansfield, and perhaps, or probably, Richard was also a son of Sir John.

  • Fort Totten Battery, U
    Landmarks Preservation Commission September 24, 1974, Number 5 LP-0826 FORT TOTTEN BATTERY, U. S. Government Reservation, Willets Point, Bayside, Queens. Built 1362-1864; Supervising Engineer: !'Jilliam Petit Trowbridge. Landmark Site: Borough of Queens Tax ~1ap Block 5917, Lot 1, in part, consisting of the land on which the described improvement is situated. On September 25, 1973, the Landmarks Preservation CoMmission held a ,public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Fort Toften Battery and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 8). The hear­ ing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. A representative of the United States Army testified as to the current status of the Battery. There were no speakers in opposition to desienation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Fort Totten Battery is one of the most impressive and monumental sights in Queens. Its superior stone construction, rarely surpassed in this country, con­ tains a number of the important innovations used in the Third or Totten System of United States seacoast fortifications that were built between 1817 and 1864. The First System of seacoast fortifications was begun in 1794 when it seemed that the United States might be drawn into the European wars that followed the French Revolution. The Second System, which started in 1807 under the threat of war with Britain and ended with the l'Tar of 1812, is important because it marks the first time that American-born and trained engineers built fortifications on a large scale. Unlike the first two systems which had been built in response to external threats, the Third System of seacoast fortifications was begun in 1817 during a period of peace.

  • Joseph Gilbert Totten
    MEMOIE JOSEPH GILBERT TOTTEN. 1788-1864. BY J. G. BARNARD. BEAD AT THE •WASHINGTON SESSION, JAN. 0,1866. BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF JOSEPH GILBERT TOTTEN. ME. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN or THE ACADEMY :— In conformity with a clause of the Constitution of this Academy, and in obedience to your instructions, I am here to render the tribute of a formal biographical notice in commemoration of one who was numbered among our most venerable and most honored associates. If, in the language of one of our body, on a previous and similar occasion, "it is no unreasonable assumption that public benefit and individual incentives may be derived from the history of any man whose scientific services have rendered him worthy of admittance to your number," that assumption must have a peculiar force when it applies to one who has "finished his course," and has filled a life, protracted beyond the usual term, with scientific labors of no ordinary variety and magnitude. It is but little more than two years since we first met for the great and important work of organizing this National Academy, and with us—of our number, if not personally present—were "both the gray-headed and very aged men." But, alas! these, like autumnal leaves, are rapidly falling away, and already the places of a Totten, a Hitchcock, and a Silliman know them no more, save in the records of their lives and deeds, and in the grateful memories of their associates. What a trio of names, glorious in the annals of science, is this! Well may they be ineentives to us, who yet remain to strive that we may worthily replace them, and establish for this Academy a reputation for usefulness and science which their honored bearers have acquired for themselves.

  • 201 Years of Mathematics at West Point
    CHAPTER 24 201 YEARS OF MATHEMATICS AT WEST POINT V. Frederick Rickey and Amy Shell-Gellasch Mathematics is the study which forms the foundation of the [United States Military Academy curriculum]. This is necessary, both to impart to the mind that combined strength and versatility, that peculiar vigor and rapidity of comparison necessary for military action, and to pave the way for progress in the higher military sciences. All experience shows that the mind, in order that it may act with efficiency, must be accustomed to exertion. It should be taught gradually to develop its own powers, and as it slowly learns their capacity and the manner of employing them, the increasing lights which are thrown upon its course will enable it to go on for an unlimited extent in the path of improvement. —Committee on Military Affairs United States Military Academy, 17 May 18341 The Department of Mathematical Sciences at the U.S. Military Academy celebrated its bicentennial on 21 September 2001, for it was on that date in 1801 that the first mathematics class was taught at West Point. Though the Academy would not be signed into law 201 YEARS OF MATHEMATICS AT WEST POINT 587 and officially founded by Thomas Jefferson until 16 March 1802, his Secretary of War, Henry Dearborn, hired George Baron as Teacher of the Arts and Sciences to the Artillerists and Engineers in July 1801.2 Dearborn ordered Baron to purchase 15 to 20 copies of A Course in Mathematics, a two-volume text by English mathematician Charles Hutton, so that cadets could study algebra, geometry, plane and spherical trigonometry, conic sections, and surveying.3 Joseph G.
