BESIDES my recognized assistant in the compilation of this Genealogy, and those to whom I acknowledged my obligations in the '' New England Historical and Genealogical Register" for Octo ber, 1887, I am imlehtetl to Dr. William Savery, of Sharon Hill, Penn., for biographical matter pertaining to the Philadelphia Family, to Hon. James B. Severy, Jmlge of the County Court of El Paso County, Col., for information by which I was enabled to trace the branches of the Severy family settled in Maine, and to Dr. Samuel Smiles for the permission acconlc(l me to publish in America the chapter in his "Lives of Boulton and ·watt," which gives an account of Savery's invention of the steam engine. Auel in this place I would repeat with emphasis the expression of my great indebtedness to ]Hiss Lydia A. Savary for her invaluable and continued assistance, without which I would never have been able to bring the work to a satisfactory conclusion. She gathered n.nd furnished me by far the grenter part of the materials woven into the genealogy of what l lmvc callC\l "Subdivision A" of the Old Colony Family, and a considerable quantity of other important mat ter nlilizctl in appropriate places in the genealogical portious of the book. I have consulted, for my sketch of the eminent minister, the "Journal of the Life and Labours of William Savery," edited by Jonathan Evans, Philadelphia; the "Life of Elizabeth Fry," by her daughter, l\Irs. Cresswell; "Anecdotes of Friends" (issued by the "Tract Association of Friends," Philadelphia), and some letters of the minister to his wife from England. Those who have been surprised and disappointed at the long delay in issuing the book have no conception of the immense amount of time and labor which the compilation of such a work clemnnds, and which was, in this case, aggravate\l by the (listance of my residence from the reconls in which information was to be songht, and my want of suOicient leisure to spare from the duties of an engrossing oflice. The correspondence involved was enormot1s, aml the ex- iv PREFACE. penses iucuned so extraordinary that the lluanciul loss will be great relatively to that resulting from the prcparntiou uml publication of most wol'lrn of the same nature. Such books :ire expecte1l to rq1:1y tlie cost of publication, and sometimes partially or wholly the expense of reseat·ches, but the work of compiling arnl w{·iting is a " labor of love." My own expenses are much beyond the possiuility of recoup ment from sales of the book. It may appear ungracious to mention this, and yet it seems but right to disabuse the minds of those who may suppose that I have entered upon and carried on this work with a prospect of pecuniary gain. What was at first the indulgeuce of a taste for antiqnariau research, family history, nrnl speculations in heredity, grndnally grew iuto a bercnlean task, which I more than once seriously contemplated abandoning in despair. In beginning my inYestigations in 1881, I was actuated simply by a desire to clearly truce np my own ancestry to its source on the olher side of the Atlantic, and to that end applied for information to several kinspeople in Massachusetts whose aclllrcsses l chance1l to obtain, lmt whom I hnd never met.

THOMAS SAVORY, THE PrLGRIM:. Son, as I think, of Thomas Savory ancl Mary W ooclrorke, a11d gmlHlso11 of Robert Siwory of Hanington, ,:vntshire, England, who died in 1598. The next mention of his name in Old Colony recorcls is in Pierce's colony fo;ts (Company rolls, p. 73), confa,ining 11ames of all male persons residing in Plymouth Colony able to perform military cluty, i. e., between 16 and 60 yeiu-s of age, in April, 1643, "as she\Vll hy the special return of an actual examination and inspection made at that time." In l 041 we find he Rolil a honr-e at Sq nenill to ,Josiah Pratt. "Squerrill hill" is suppm;ed to have been on Summer Street, 1war tlie r-ite of the rolling rnillr- in moclern Plymouth. Iii deeds he is always styled "Planter." In 1.646 he had a differ ence "aho11t a eanoc" with "Tilliam Bra(Hord, who was ordered by the court, to pay him five shillings. .From 1644 to 1650 he is often mentioned as cnstodian of the cattle kept at the public expemie fo1· the benefit of the poor.* In 1652, "Thomas Savory ir- endented with hy the Court to setve in the office of under-Ma.rr-hall, awl to have 20 nobles per annum besides his ordinary fees." , On the 211 August, 1653, Thomas and his wife Anne covenante1l with Thomas Lett.ice that Thomas Savory, ,Jr., "a,ged 5 years or thereabouts on the 15th day o-£ March" previous, should remain ,yith him as an apprentice till the age • In 1623, Mr. Winslow hntl vislte,l England, nn,I returning in 1624 hrought with him the first cattle Introduced Into the colony, consisting of a bull nn We are surprised at the apprenticeship of a child so yonng, but it was quite in accord with the custom of the times. So we find John, son of Samuel Ed(ly, not yet eight years old, ap prenticed to Francis Gould, April 3, 1645.* "Happy is the man who hath his quiver full of them." Was it a rule of brotherly love among our Pilgrim fathers to share a plethora of such blessings with friend::, or kindred less highly favored? Again, on the third day of November, Hi53, they indenture a son Benjamin to John Shaw arnl Alice his wife, he being •' 9 years old in March next ensuing." fn 1G55 he was grn.nted "one· share" of land for his children in the "1\fajor'::, purelmse." On the 2d of :March, Hi57, he ttnd hi::, wife again indenture Benjamin to Stephen Bryant, de::,crihing him tt8 "13 years oltl this prnsent month." He i::, to he "irn;tnwted in hushan1lry," and to receive £5 stg. at the end of his term. That our immigrant ancestor was intrwsted with the 1im1mge ment of very important affairs appears by the following ex tract from the accounts found due by the colony in the report of Major Josias Winslow, Mr. Josias -Winslow, Sr., and Nathaniel Bacon. 1660. 13 June 'ro 'l'homas Sauory by the countreye's order £14. 10. 0 More paiecl by him for charges of taking up, driucing, grasiug of the countreye·s cattle for ho1·se hier att seuerall times for money paiml on account of trooping horses and seuerall other charges p'ticularly appeer ing in his accounts . £214. 13. 4 * Etlcly ~•amily Genealogy, p. 102. THOMAS SAVORY, THI~ PILGRIM. 21 Froin this it would appear that he was commissioned to buy horses for the use of the colonial troops in the Indian wars. Again we find in these accounts: - More to Thomas Sauory by the countres order £20. 00. 00 And again in 1661, 10th of ,June, appears among other items due by the colony: - To Thomas Snvory yet unpaid . 5. 18. 1 Similar mentions of sums due him at various times occur. In 1Gfil, ,Jan. 4, Thomas Savory sells to Zachariah Eddy a piece of land lying near vVhetc;tone's Vineyard in Major's purclutse, abounded on or near where Eddy lives. On the 20th of Februai'y, 1662, Thomas Savory makes over to Samuel E,l,ly (who it will he seen was his brother-in-law) Ian • These signHture• nrc n little reducc,1.· 22 THI~ SAVEltY FAl\11LlES.

Thus looms up through the vista of a quarter of n, millennium the venerable figure of our first American ancestor. It pro jects from inchlent", most of them insignificant of themselves, hut ma.gnitied to ns hy the mists of time through which we would fain estiinate his character.

It is to be regretted that we have 110 reliable reconls illustrat ing the character of onr "Pilgrim mother," except the affec tionate and devoted terms in which she is thrice mentioned in the short will of her husband, evidently his own composition, for its phraseology is not that of an official or prnfesHional scribe.

The loss of some old book or books of town and church records deprives us of complete data of the births of Thomas Savory's children, - a matter in rei;peet to which llrn f-;avcry fomily in 1l1is, arnl, as will l1c seell in Ll1c Hcxl ge11cmLio11, ii:; exceptionally trnforttumte.

The Atwoods were among the earliest comers and first settlers of Plymouth. I quote from the "History of American Manufactures," published in 1867: "John Savery, the founder of the Phmnix \Yorks in ,Jersey City, together with his son vVilliam, a man omi11011tly qualirie,l by natural endow ments for success in business pursuits, united in 1838 and estahlishecl the works in ,Terney City. Mr. Savery was a pioneer in developing American manufactures. He served an appren ticeship at the trade of a moulder. He made cannon balls in the vVar of 1812. In fact, he was the first who succeeded in making a perfect cannon ball at the foundry where he learnt his tnule. He made balls which were used by the· U. S. frigate 'Constitution ' in her memorable engagement with the · Guerriere.' His first partnership was with Hon. Benjamin Ellis at the extensive works in Carver, next at Albany, N. Y., last at ,Jersey City, N. J.'' Although he neither sought nor coveted office, yet he was early appointed selectman, and twice elected to the State Legislature. He could be elected from his town when no other man of the 1Vhig party could. He died Avril 17, 1853; his widow, April 23, 1883, aged 90. 84 THE SAVERY FAMILIES. CUILDUEN. 3,i I. William", b.

I fill(l many •William Saverys 011 tlw records of Hanington, Wiltshire, near the early home of this celebrated Puritan divine, but none whom I can positively identify as the disciple who followeil l1im to America. ,vhether William, with a young son Ro1Jert, was among' these early removal:; to Newbury, or wlwtl1er l{obert's was a THE gssgx COUNTY FAl\ULY. 103 birth would antedate the arrival of the-" Mary and John.'; He handed down the name William, as we presume, by the usual rule of alternation in those days, from father to the eldest son, as this son did, in his turn, naming his own eldest son Robert; and there is no doubt that Robert was the son of William, although we find no certain trace of any brothers or sisters. There was, however, an Anne Savory who married J olm Hardy, July 8, 1701, who may have been a brother's daughter. Mary S., who died Dec.13, 1704, was his widow. From Newbury he re moved among the first settlers to Bradford, where land taken up by him is still held by some of his descendants. He died corning home from Canada in 1690. I presume he was serving in that formidable hut unsuccessful expedition against Quebec, pro jected by Governor "Winthrop, and commanded by Sir William Phipps and Major ·walley.

In 1830, in company with four other white men and a party of natives, he fitted out at Oahu, one of the Sandwich Islands, sailed to and made a settlement on Peel Island, one of the Bonin falands, in the North Pacific. These islands ha Japan has been of late years permitted_ to resume her ancient sovereignty over them. The following account of the coloniza tion of the islands by Savory and his associates is from " Cham bers' Encyclopredia": "In 1830, Peel Island, the centre of the group, was settled, in connection with the whaling business, by a motley colony, - an Englishman, an Italian, a Dane, two Americans, and fifteen Sandwich-Islanders (five men and teri women), under the auspices of a 'union jack.'" The following was written by a member of Commodore Perry's eventful expedition to Japan in 1853, in Harper's llfaga zine for March, 1856 :* "In 1830 a colony of Americans and Europeans came to Peel Island from the Sandwich Islands, having in their train several native, male and female, Kanakas. This is the nucleus of a population which amounted only to thirty-one all told on the visit of Commodore Perry.

GEORGE SAVARY (Tliomas , John\ Thomas'\ William\ 1 Robert ), was born Jan. 30, 1793; and married Louisa, _daugh ter of Benjamin Balch. He was in the sixth generation from John Balch, who it is supposed came to America with Gorges in 1623, through Benjamin2, Freeborn3, William\ William5• (See "Boston Historical and Genealogical Register," Vol. IX., p. 233.) Like the Saverys, the Balches were clearly an English family of ancient Norman extraction, but dating in England further back, for the name is in the illustrious "Roll of Battle Abbey," the list of the principal chiefs and knights who fought for vVilliam at Hastings, deposited by him in the Abbey which he built on the field of his immortal victory. In business Mr. Savary was engaged in the manufacture of boots and shoes, on a very extended scale. After filling many minor positions, he was a member of the Massachusetts House of Representa tives fonr terms, from Bradford East Parish, and thence was elected to the State Senate in 1843, and was the candidate of his party for the office of lieutenant-governor. The following obituary is from a contemporary paper: - " The death of Mr. Savary will be felt as a public loss. Though not a great talker, he was a man of marked ability, possessed an influence of very considemble extent, and had mingled quite largely in public affairs. He had been several times State senator, and was supported by the Democratic party, to which he had always adhered, as it~ candidate for Presidential elector, for lieutenant-governor, etc. At home, in the midst of his family and his neighbors, the life of Mr. Savary was very beautiful. He was never known to exhibit any asperity; was always kind, considerate, and ready to help, and few men have ever been more endeared to those with whom Lltey came in daily contact. lnjury and insult he put aside in a quiet all(l m1moverl way quite peculiitr to himself, and, if :dlowe1l Lo, Hoon HtdTerc(l Lite umLLeL· to fall from his mind. It is the unanimous testimony of those who knew him 1)est that 116 THI<} SAVErtY FA.l\IILIES. they have nevei- seen his equal in this respect. In times of pecuniary distress he made it a point to give employment to poor and suffering persons ; and in respect to all his more immediate relations, it is not eulogy hut simple statement of fact to say that he may be proposed as a model. Of late he has taken great interest in the Independent Church in Grove land; and he is remembered with especial gratitude and affec tion by the members of the society." Also the following: "In the sudden death of this active and enterprising citizen, not only his family, hut our town and the whole community have suffered an irreparable loss. A feeling of sadness, not confined to any sect or party, has pervaded the town from the moment it was known that he was seriously ill. Every person in active life in this community for nearly forty years has known and appreciated the business talents, the open-hearted liberality, and the social qualities of GEORGE SAVARY, and his demise has left a void in society which it will take long years to fill. In all' the relations of life and lmsiness he was always the able and efficient friend, or the fair and hon orable opponent." And the following: "As a politician he was a firm and consistent Democrat, freely allowing to all an honest difference of opinion." The church of which he was a member adopted, on the occasion of his death, resolutions of more thai1 ordinary feeling a11tl power. Ile die1l Mareh 28, 1854, and his widow, June 1, 1887, aged 84 years 11 months. Of her a contemporary paper said : "During his [Rev. David Wasson's] ministry in Groveland, he gave a great impetus to progressive thought, and Mr. Savary and his wife were among his loyal supporters. Her heart was large, her hospitality abounding. The doors of her home were not more widely open than was her heart to invite to the comfort and cheer of her roof-tree. Beauty of presence and a remarkable amiability of spirit made her at once the centre of attraction. These quali ties, united with strong and earnest convictions, and youthful spirit, preserved her from the common infirmities of age, and to THE ESSEX COUNTY FAMILY. 1i7 the very last made her the bright part{cular star of her house hold." From another obituary notice : "Mrs. Savary was in many respects a remarkable woman. Exceedingly easy and affable in her manner, she was an ornament to society. She had a happy disposition, took a cheerful view of life, and in a remarkable degree looked on the bright side. She kept up her interest in all that was taking place about her. She enjoyed the society of young people, and enLered into their pleasures with a sympathy which made her a delightful companion. She bore her years as ft light weight, and her erect form and fair face gave little indication that more than fourscore summers had passed over her head. To the very last day of her life her mental powers were undimmed. To her children and friends she has been a great comfort and joy to her very last day. Her long life-work has been well done, and now she is gathered like a sheaf of corn fully ripe. Her death was like the going down of the sun in a clear sky. Though her children will mourn with deep grief her going home, yet they must feel comforted that she had been spared so long, aud her life so full of peace aml happiness. Through the com ing years the memory of her will be to her children as strains of remembered music, always bringing much of joy and comfort." CHILDREN. I. Martha Wingate', b. May 10, 1823; m.

Early genealogical investigatorn in America used to be every where met by the tradition that the family inquired after sprang from "three brothers," who had come over together, until the phrase, rarely, if ever, verified, became a, byword and jest. Just as common was the positive assertion and belief that it was the great-,qrandfatlier who came. Oral traditions of any reliability very seldom imleetl, if they do ever, extend back beyond one's grandfather.

RrcHARD2 SAVORY (Robert1 ?), date of birth unknown. At Portsmouth, March, 17£19, by Rev. Samuel Haven, D. D., he married Abigail Hodgden, in the record described as of Roches ter, N. H., hut her descendants say of Farmington, whither he soon removed with most of his children, for this was a second marriage. One tradition gives his first wife's name as Barker, but another, apparently more reliable, names her Emily Mil ler, and says further that she was born at Gravely Ridge, Portsmouth, and that her father once owned a "handsome estate" in England, which, descending to the eldest son, passed out of the family.

Tim first mention of the 1mmc 011 Ll1e ret:onls of the Society of Friends, in Philadelphia, or any reconl of the city, is the man-iage of"'Nilliam Savery, April 19, 17 46, to l\Iary, d::mghter of Reese Peters. fo the record of his death, May 27, 17 87, his age is given as 65. Therefore he must have been born between May 27, 1721, and May 27, 1722. His wife was born 1722, and died July 27, 1804. I have been unable to fix with certainty his birthplace, or to trace the rehtiouship (if any) between him and the other lianches of the American family. There is nothing to show that he was not de scended (perhaps through New Jersey) from one of the miss ing sons of Thomas the Pilgrim, whom I cannot trace after their birth at Plymouth. The Fricrnh; in Rulirulnes, as wc have seen, were sorely vexed, and early in the last century many of them sought a more co11g·c11i:Ll home i11 the City of Peace and "brotherly love." At the outset of my investiga tions as to the origin of the Philadelphirdamily, I found among its living members a tradition, not · very much trnstecl, tlmt their male ancestor's name was Solomm1, who, with his son William, came to tlmt city- from one of the \Vest 1ndia Islands, in company with Solomon Cresson, one of their ancestors in a maternal line, but no record exists to prove the fact, while the names of most of the arrivals from Barbadoes at that time are preserved and known. Still, the frequency of the name in Barbadoes, and especially its connection with the Friends, gives a prima facie color of prob- TIU<; J'll LLAl>gLl'HIA J<'AJ\llLY. 137 ability to this tradition of his origii1, although there may lmve been confusion as to his Christian 11ame and other details. His son, the eminent minister, in the journal of his religious visit :to England, first speaks, under date Sept. 4, 1796, of ",Joseph Savory, of London," who was evi dently a prominent and active, and apparently a wealthy mem ber of the English Society. This Joseph was an ancestor of the hit.e Lonl Mayor of Lo11(lon, a.Jl!l in the London Dircdory of 1801 is mentioned as cutler and silversmith at 10 the Poultry, perhaps the pio11eel' in the grand firm or sueeession of firms who have carried on the business of silversmiths, goldsmiths, and lmll ion Anna would be a, little older tlrnn she, and was probably the correspondent alluded to, and it may have been the tlaughter, and not the wife of Joseph, who, inspiretl early with religious zeal, was the companion of the minister oi1 this visit. ..Which ever it was, the fact of his calling her his cousin impressell me with the idea tlmt she must have heeu it llescernlant of n,11 nncle or great-uncle of his own, but nothing appears in the reconls of the Society to prove it. I lrnd llifliculty in getting over the notion that one so precise and staitl as the minister, or any typical member of his religious fraternity in that day, wonl *'Vho knows but that this was a pt·inter's error, for" compn./1 companion; a common sort of abbreviation In those days?
