HAMILTON FISH.

By Asa Bird Gardiner, LI..D.,

Secretary-Genertl of the Society of the Cincinnati.

The decease, on September 7, 1893, of the Honorable Hamilton Fish, LL.D., President-General of the Cincinnati, at his country seat, "Glen- clyffe, " near Garrison's-on-the Hudson, N. Y., was a loss to the United States of one of its most eminent citizens, whose labors in its service had become historic. The family of which he was a representative originally settled at Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in 1637, from whence the branch to which he belonged removed to Long Island.

His descent was as follows : Jonathan Fish, who was born in England about 1610, came to New England about 1635, in one of the many ships which then arrived, and two years later settled at Sandwich, Barnstable County, Massa- chusetts Bay Colony. From thence, in 1659, ^ e removed to Newtown, Long Island, in the Province of New York, but then under the Dutch. 2 The third child of Jonathan Fish' was Nathan Fish who was born in Sandwich, December 18, 1650. The eldest son of the latter was Jona- than Fish, 3 whose eldest son was Samuel Fish^ of Newtown, whose 6 eldest son was Jonathan Fish, 5 father of Nicholas Fish, who was the second child. Nicholas Fish was born in the city of New York, August 28, 1758, and died there June 20, 1833, and was, at the breaking out of the Revolution, a student at law in the office of the Honorable John Morin

Scott, who became Brigadier-General, and who, on June 2 [, 1776, appointed him his Brigade-Major. Five months later, through the influence of Brigadier-General Scott, Major Nicholas Fish was, when but eighteen years old, appointed Major 2d Regiment New York Con- tinental Infantry, which was then being re-organized "for the war,"' over the heads of many experienced officers who had served with credit under Montgomery at Chamble, St. John's, and Quebec, and under Sullivan, Schuyler, and Washington. The wisdom of this selection was attested by Major Fish's gallant services. By appointment of Washing- ton he became a Division Inspector under Major-General Baron de Steuben, and participated in the principal actions with the New York Line. Major Fish served with reputation throughout the Revolution- ary War, and was breveted Lieutenant-Colonel on September 30, 1783, and honorably retired November 3, 1783. With Lafayette, William 2 Hamilton Fish. [Jan.,

Stevens Smith, and Alexander Hamilton, aides-de-camp to Washington, William North, Ebenezer Stevens, and other enthusiastic and noble young men, he formed one of a galaxy whom Washington delighted to have at his table at headquarters at Newburgh in 1782-83. From April 13, 1784 to 1793, he was Adjutant-General of the State of New York, and from 1797 to 1804, and again in 1805, was President of the New York State Society of the Cincinnati. In 1794 he was appointed by President Washington United States Supervisor of the Revenue, and from

1806 to 1 81 7 he was an Alderman of the city of New York. He married Elizabeth Stuyvesant, a daughter of Peter Stuyvesant, Esq., who was a lineal descendant and heir of the Honorable Peter Stuyvesant, the last Dutch Governor, or Director-General, of Nieuw Netherlands. Hamilton Fish was the eldest of five children by this marriage, and was born in the city of New York, August 3, 1808. He received his early education at private schools in his native city, and entered Columbia College in 1823, and was graduated in 1827 in the same class with John Player Crosby, and Professor William Henry Crosby of the New York Cincinnati, Dr. John Clarkson, Henry Onderdonk, Jr., and Professor Henry Augustus Du Bois, M.D., LL. D. Mr. Fish then read law in the office of Peter Augustus Jay, Esq., and was admitted to the New York bar in 1830. The limits of this memoir will not admit of a detailed account of his subsequent political career, which, whenever opportnnity afforded, always redounded to the credit of his country. From March 4, 1843, ne served one term as representative in the Twenty-eighth Congress, from the Sixth Congressional District of his native city. On November 2, 1847, he was elected Lieutenant-Governor of the State of New York, to fill a vacancy; and in 1848 was elected Governor, and held that office one term. On March 19, 185 1, he was elected a Senator of the United States from his State, and at the close of his term, in 1857, went abroad with his family for a considerable period. He was in Paris during the regime of Napoleon III., when the court etiquette of the Bourbons was, as far as practicable, observed, and was, by reason of his office in the Order of the Cincinnati, received at a court ceremonial at Versailles with special honors. In April, 1861, he became prominent as a champion for the preservation of the Union, and was chairman of the Union Defense Committee, 1861-65, and frequently consulted by President Lincoln. On March 11, 1869, he was appointed United States Secretary of State in the administration of President Grant, and held that responsible office with great advantage to his country for eight years. In the negotiation of the great treaty of Washington with Great Britain for the arbitration of the Ala-

bama and Fisheries claims ; in the satisfactory settlement of the Virginius

case with Spain ; in the negotiation of an extradition treaty with Great Britain, as well as in other less important diplomatic negotiations; in the vigorous assertion of American dominance over Hawaii as against foreign interference, and in the steadfast protection of American interests in every quarter of the globe, he won an enduring reputation, and by his labors potentially aided in placing the United States in the forefront of the nations of the world. So tactful, quiet, but unremitting, were his labors in the great Alabama claims matter, that his countrymen hardly realized the obligations they were under to him for the successful and 1894.] Hamilton Fish. 1

satisfactory termination of an international question, which, sooner or later, would have resulted in war. As years have gone by, his diplomatic foresight and acumen have been more and more realized and appreciated, and it only remained for the very recent work (just published) of Mr. J. C. Bancroft Davis, entitled "Mr. Fish and the Ala-

bama Claims : a Chapter in Diplomatic History," to show how much the American people were indebted to this patriotic and able statesman for the vindication of its rights under the Law of Nations. In the office of Secretary of State, Hamilton Fish will rank with Thomas Jefferson, John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, William L. Marcy, and William H. Seward, whose services are enduringly written in their country's history. Secretary Fish's diplomacy was, as has been aptly said, not only successful in its immediate object, but has been

vindicated in its wisdom lasting results of high utility it by ; and must have produced a grateful feeling in his honored old age to watch the beneficent operation of the treaties he had dictated, and the international relations he had established. In 1840 he became a Trustee of Columbia College, and in 1859 was chosen President of its Board of Trustees and continued in that capacity until his decease. He received the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws

from his own Alma Mater in 1850 ; from Union College in 1869, and from Harvard University in 1871. From 1867 until he became Secretary of State, he was President of the New York Historical Society. He was .also a Trustee of the Lenox Library and Astor Library, and a Trustee of the " Peabody Educational Fund," and was for a time President of the Union League Club. Inheriting an ample fortune, he was enabled to fulfill the social duties incumbent on the position he occupied as a leader of society, and the elegant hospitdity of his home in Washing- ton, while head of the State Department, was a marked feature of the social side of President Grant's administration. The relations sustained by Secretary Fish to the Society of the Cincin- nati were peculiarly interesting. On July 4, 1834, he was admitted an hereditary member as the eldest son of Major and Brevet Lieutenant- Colonel Nicholas Fish, deceased, and in 1844 was elected Treasurer of the New York State Society of the Cincinnati, an office he continued to hold until elected President of that State Society, July 4, 1855. Mean- while, in 1848, he. became Vice-President-General of the Cincinnati, and on May 17, 1854, he was chosen by the General Society to be President- General, vice General Henry Alexander Scammel Dearborn, of Massa- chusetts, deceased, and continued in that high office until his death, at which time he was the senior hereditary member in date of admission. Secretary Fish was the ninth President-General of the Cincinnati, his predecessors having also all held office respectively until their decease.

They were :

17S3. His Excellency General George Washington, LL.D., of Virginia. 1800. Major-General Alexander Hamilton, LL.D., of New York. 1805. Major-General Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, LL.D., of South Carolina. 1825. Major-General Thomas Pinckney, of South Carolina. 1829. Major-General Aaron Ogden, LL.D., of New Jersey. 1839. Major-General Morgan Lewis, of New York. 1844. Brevet Major William Popham, of New York. 1845. Brigadier-General Henry Alexander Scammel Dearborn, of Massachusetts. 1854. Hon. Hamilton Fish, LL.D., of New York. a Hamilton Fish. [Jan.,

Of Vice-Presidents-General during this period of one hundred and ten years, four were from Massachusetts, three from Pennsylvania, three from New York, two from New Jersey, two from South Carolina, and one from Virginia, Major-General Horatio Gates, LL. D. Major Popham was the last of the Continental Line of the Revolution chosen President-General. The peculiar and remarkable respect and uncommon attention and affection which the Cincinnati had shown President-General Washington was, to nearly as great a degree, bestowed on all his successors. Presi- dent-General Fish had the unbounded regard of the members, which he reciprocated, and in the closing years of his life he gave much thought to the principles of the institution and the purposes of the founders. When he became Vice-President-General, in 1848, but few of the venerable and honored original members survived, and in 1854 the last of them, Robert Burnet, passed away. With the difficulty of communication before the era of railways, tele- graphs, and frequent and cheap postal rates, and by reason of the absence, at great distances, of properly qualified descendants of original members, who were thereby debarred from acquiring hereditary membership, the

Society of the Cincinnati had gradually diminished in numbers until it was perceived that it was liable to extinction at no distant day. Presi- dent-General Dearborn, in a communication to the General Society dated November 29, 1S4S, called attention to this fact, and suggested the adoption of some such rule concerning admissions of members as had been contained in a report made to the South Carolina State Society on March 4, 1799, adding that, in his opinion, " unless such a measure is adopted, this time-honored and glorious association will cease to exist within less than a third of a century, or be so reduced in numbers as to be unavailable for the purposes of its organization." The General Society, on the same day, appointed a committee of which Mr. Fish was a member, to consider "if it be not expedient and proper to suspend, alter, or abrogate the limitation with regard to the admission of members, "and to inquire and report what alterations are necessary and proper on the subject. This committee brought in a report at the next trien-

nial meeting in May, 185 1, submitting, in amendment of the Institution, an "ordinance relative to the succession and admission of members," making eligible all male descendants of officers of the Revolutionary Army. The ordinance, . however, failed of ratification by the several State societies, and consequently the Institution remained as originally adopted in May, 1783. At the next triennial meeting of the General Society, held in Baltimore in May, 1854, President-General Fish was member of a committee which reported new resolutions on the subject of admissions, giving to every State society "full right and power to regulate the admission of members both as to the qualifications of the members and the terms of admission," whereby more than one descendant of an officer of the Continental Army or Navy could be admitted. He voted for the resolutions and for a submission of them to the several State societies, in order that, upon consent being given by each of the State societies, the same should become operative, and each State society be "at liberty to act urxm the power given thereby." This amendment or alteration of the Institution also failed of ratification by the refusal in one ir 'ance, and neglect in others, of several State societies to ratify the resolve,,. Thereupon, at a special meeting of the General Society held Hamilton Fish, - 1 894 -]

in Trenton in May, 1856, so much of the resolutions of 185 1 as required the consent of the several State societies in order to make them valid, was rescinded. Neither the Rhode Island nor New York State societies were represented at this meeting, nor was President-General Fish able to leave his duties in the United States Senate to attend. For a limited period the New York State Society, from 1857 to i860, enlarged its rules of admission under this questionable action of the General Society, and admitted for iheir own lives only several descendants of original members, two of President-General Fish's own family being thus admitted to represent, with himself, his father. The rapid extension of the railway system of the United States, and increased facilities of communication, soon thereafter enabled proper descendants to claim their hereditary membership. The apprehension of extinction of the Society, which had induced these resolves, was thus dissipated, and the necessity for any relaxation of the prescribed rules as to admissions was obviated. The admission of more than one descendant to represent the same propositus not having been found to be satisfactory within the scope and intent of the Institution, President-General Fish came to the conclusion, upon mature deliberation, that, as the necessity for any relaxation of the strict rule had passed away, it ought henceforth to be rigidly adhered to. The rise and progress of the patriotic society of the ''Sons of the Revolution," from their first meeting in the hall of the New York Histor- ical Society, on December 18, 1875, f° r consultation and organization, was viewed with lively interest and satisfaction by President-General Fish, " who was wont to term the members "younger brothers of the Cincinnati. Considering as he did the Society of the Cincinnati to be merely the symbolism of certain great principles enunciated in their Institution, to be perpetuated through the eldest male posterity of original members and " their associates, he perceived in the "Sons of the Revolution a society of descendants of Revolutionary patriots, who, in their laudable objects and purposes, supplement the Society of the Cincinnati, and are destined to carry on in a national way the work long performed, from 1783, by the "Society of the Revolution" of South Carolina, in fraternal unison with the Cincinnati. At the last triennial meeting of the General Society of the Cincinnati, held in Boston, Mass.. in May-June, 1893, President-General Fish, by reason of infirmity of years, was unable to attend. Deeply solicitous in its affairs, he corresponded constantly with the Secretary-General as to its business and kept himself thoroughly informed. On June 9, 1893, he addressed his "dear Brethren " of the General Society, and, after expressing his deepest regrets at being unable to be with them, earnestly wrote

as follows : " I beg to commend especially to your calm and wise consideration, the establishing of an uniform rule, to be observed by all the State societies, as to the qualification of applicants for admission to the Society. In this each State society is a Trustee of the interests and character of each of its associate State societies, and I beg permission to commend to vour decision the strictest possible adherence to the intent of our Institu- tion, to confine admissions to the blood of those who instituted the Society and of their associates in the War of the Revolution, in the right line of descent." 6 Long Island {N. V.) Marriages and Deaths. [Jan.,

After referring to having been honored for thirty-nine years with the

President-Generalcy of the Society, he concludes as follows : "With most profound gratitude for your long-continued favor and for your generous indulgence, and with affectionate regards to each and every of our members, my earnest prayer is that God may bless our Society of the Cincinnati, eslo perpetua." In compliance with his solemn injunction, the whole subject concerning admission of members was referred to the Standing Executive Com- mittee for report and recommendation at the next General Meeting. Upon the occasion of his obsequies at St. Philip's Church in the Highlands, on September n, 1893, a representation of the Society of the Cincinnati attended, including a special delegation from the New York State Society, and were accorded the position of principal mourners, next after the immediate family. The several State societies have since adopted appropriate resolutions, which, however, were not necessary, as the affectionate respect and esteem always entertained by the Cincinnati for their late honored and venerated President-General was well known.

GENEALOGY: ITS AIMS AND ITS UTILITY.

Read before tin' N. Y. Genealogical and- Biographical Society, December 8, 1893.

By Josiah Collins Pumpelly.

When the philosopher Zeno in the fifth century B.C. consulted the oracles as to what manner he should live, the answer was, "Inquire of the dead." It was an ancient custom to seek in cemeteries for counsel to guide the conduct, and for inspiration to invigorate the purpose. "Whatever withdraws us," says the great Dr. Johnson, "from the 24 Genealogy : I/s Aims and Its Utility. [Jan.,

power of our senses, whatever makes the past, the distant, and the future predominate over the present, advances us in the dignity of thinking beings." •'Human intelligence, " says one of the late honored presidents of this society, "has never yet succeeded in improving upon the divine model of the family relation," and it is this relation which furnishes both the occasion and material, for Genealogy. "Pulse-beats smile down the strongest tyrannies," says Charles

it is spirit of the God-fearing Huguenot, of a Martyn ; and the heroic Huss, a Luther, a Calvin, and a Washington, which has transformed societies, and which, unapproachable as the sun, has always, throughout the centuries, through seas of blood, pressed on towards the just, the beautiful, the true, thus raising more and more the head of the people towards the right, and the head of the individual towards God. 'Hie first great movement for liberty of conscience and freedom, civil and religious, was not, in France, an importation, for God had deposited the first principles of the work in a few brave hearts of Picardy and Dau-

phiny before it had begun in any other country of the globe. It was the voice of the Protestant Lefevre of Etaples, France, a man of great nobility of soul, which was to give the signal of the rising of this morning star of liberty. He it was who taught Farel, the great reformer and master builder with Luther. There are many who regard genealogical records as dry and tedious, and so, I confess, they may be made to be as prepared by some writers ; but let us not forget that it is out of such details, found so often in musty rolls and time-stained parchments, that history is made. This presenting of items of family biography is by no means an idle, dilettante pursuit, but the beginnings of living science, vital to the profoundest philosophy. We pay honor to the dead when we thus show their relations to the living. Even a moral can be drawn from the Vision of the Prophet in the valley which was full of bones of the dead. He sets it forth in a "bony light" indeed. "There were very many in the open valley, and 1o, they were very dry." It was apparently a most unpropitious field, yet it proved to be one which it was well to cultivate. These dry bones were found to be capable of living. There came a voice, and a shaking, and

the bones came together every bone to its fellow bone ; flesh and skin came upon them breath entered into them, lived ; and they and stood up. That is what we are attempting. Each of us has a regard for the bones of his own family stock, and we shall soon find bone matching bone. History is made in such ways. All history is but a connecting together in their proper place of the achievements of individuals. His-

tory is the beginning of all science ; without it we are little better than akin to the beasts that perish. I am in full sympathy, too, with the glorious individuals who were fust to establish their name. I would do them honor as constituting the true order of nature's nobility. I cannot appreciate the feeling of Sir Walter Scott when he exulted rather in obtaining the office of High Sheriff of Lanark than in being the author of the works that rendered his name immortal. When the dwarf bragged of having descended from a race of giants, the Irishman was just in his comment, that it was "a divil of a descent that he had made." 1894.] Genealogy: lis Aims and lis Utility. 2^

Of the class of evolutionists who would derive their ancestry from the ape races, we may only question how far they descended below the moral and mental attitude, of their progenitors, for very likely they were very respectable monkeys. It would have been sad for the products of their family tree to deteriorate. Nor are we saying much for those

" Whose noble blood Crept through scoundrels since the flood."

We prefer by far the lineage set forth by the elder Alexandre Dumas '' to the man who taunted him with having negro blood : My father was a quadroon, my grandfather was a negro, my great-grandfather was an ape ; my family line begins at the point where yours ends." But to be well fathered and well mothered is of untold advantage. Such are less liable to be handicapped in life, and are better able to contend against its besetments. The descendant of a worthy ancestry is enabled to honor his father and his mother, having his days long in the land, and his reputation and achievements in keeping with the glorious name of those who lived before him. We expect worthy acts from those of better race. Always have men been of that conviction. The historian Gibbon once remarked that " a lively desire of knowing and recording our ancestors so generally prevails, that it must depend on the influence of some common principle in the minds of men." If we look over ancient literature for the account of some famous man, we find a careful record preserved of his ancestry. Herodotus, the Father of History, is very particular to tell us of the lineage of every prince, every chieftain and man of eminence. Except he had a pedigree, he was regarded as of small account. We can trace the ancestry of Solon, Pei- sislratus, Pericles, Plato, and others, to the time, when Grecian history began. Homer, when describing his more famous heroes, is diligent to recite their parentage. They were cal'ed heroes, not, as we would suppose, because of their exploits, but because their lineage was divine. In Grecian story a hero was considered as half a god. So, too, on the celebrated inscription at Behistan, Darius, the founder of the Persian Empire, is careful to record his ancestry.

" I am the Great King, king of kings," the inscription reads. " From ancient time our family have been kings. Eight of my line have been kings before me; I am the ninth. We nine have been kings by lineal descent." Shall we not turn to the Bible itself? We find a persistent endeavor to trace the lineage to remote antiquity. Witness the pains in the Book of Chronicles to include families in the roll of honorable descent. "All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham, King of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, King of Israel." No man could serve as priest except his genealogy was pure. "The stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death," was the law. He was further forbidden to profane his lineage by marrying a wife of equivocal character cr parentage. When Jeroboam I. attempted to restore a local worship among his subjects, the Israelites, it was imputed to him as a sin that he made priests of the lowest of the people, as did the Samaritans afterward. The " lowest of the people," it is almost needless to say, were men who had no genealogical tree. 26 Genealogy : Its Aims and Its Utility. [Jan.,

Again, we are twice told that when the Jews returned with Zerubbabel from the Captivity, of the priests, three family groups "sought their

register among, those that were reckoned by genealogy, ' but it was not found, and therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood. Similar pains were bestowed in respect to the Hebrew kings. Heze- kiah was carefully described as having David for his father, as though but for his lineage he were unworthy to reign. To sit upon the throne of David, he must be of the house of David. The Jews would not revere a sovereign who had not a genealogy in their public records. This was equally the case elsewhere, and that sentiment holds good still. I am aware that this age is largely utilitarian, and that the many are little disposed to prize anything which has not immediate material advantage. I have often wondered that such individuals did not hesitate at such a waste of time and money as to put away the bodies of their dead, when it was so easy to utilize them, and so absurd to waste sentiment on them. I have little regard for the self-made men who so constantly worship the self that they consider made them. It was a piti- ful creature that they made.

Nevertheless, I believe that it is proper that I attempt to set forth the use of genealogical study. It is the science of all civilization, all culture, all history, all that makes life worth living. It teaches us our kinship to the human race, our duty to one another, our interest in the welfare of all mankind, our share in each other's joys and each other's griefs, how to be useful and thereby good.

Even the story of poverty, suffering, and crime is vitally intertwined with the problems of genealogy. We may not seek to evade our account- ability by disclaiming that we are not our brother's keeper. We owe to every human being to afford to him an opportunity to obtain, so far as may be in our power, the fullest means of happiness and usefulness.' The criminal classes, the criminals themselves, are often the result of our culpable disregard of our fraternal relationship to them, rather than simply of the inspiration of their inherent depravity. They are permitted to be engen- dered and born into conditions that make crime the breath of their life, if not the necessity of their existence: The sons and daughters of criminal parents are more naturally inclined to crime than these parents themselves. We may not arrest their birth or prevent their propagation, but we owe it to them to do all in our power to purify the fountains of parentage, so that only a pure and worthy offspring shall be the result. The

aim of penal legislation should be reformation ; vengeance lor crime is but brutal savagery. We should aim to have better parents and better opportunities, and then we may hope, as we now cannot, for generations pure, healthful, and virtuous. In this way the slums will be abolished and homes established in their place. Genealogy is more than a mere array of skeletons, the dry details of parents and offspring, but a bringing into view of the relations and interests which these details show to be clearly and vitally allied. We learn from the study why nations exist, why they are in alliance or hostility, why particular institutions are established and maintained, why the arts are cultivated which embellish our social life and bind us more firmly together. It shows us concerning religion, which is man's supreme effort

to attain the good, that it has existed from the farthest antiquity, from a J

We get some clew to the reason why Socrates preferred to drink the hemlock and die at once, to making his escape from the prison to live the life of an exile in another country. The first worships embraced the ancestors in their scope, and bound families and peoples together by a sacred tie, to rupture which was to become outcast, out of law, civilly dead, " cut off from the people." He could say with Romeo:

" Hence banished is banished the world, And world's exile is death."

' It is a hopeful fact in the history of our country that a greater enthusiasm has sprung up for genealogical study. The societies of Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution, Colonial Dames, and Societies of Colonial Wars, are creating emulation among those whose ancestry first subdued the soil, established towns and churches, and finally made of their colonies a country and a nation. Our various Genealogical and Historical Societies are encouraging the same sentiment. Let the wolf of the forest forget its young and ignore its ancestry: man, being in the image of his Divine Parent, duly regards both. He is thus a neighbor and a citizen, not an outlaw or Ishmaelite. We learn therefore to revere one another. Our neighbor is also our brother or our sister, "bone of our bone, and flesh of our flesh." Our relations are intimate, and not antagonistic. The welfare of one is the welfare of all. As the foot and the hand in the human body are dependent upon each other and have a common life, so the capitalist and employer in social life are fellow-dependents with the laborer and employed. If either suffers, the other is inevitably certain to experience calamity. It is not from the mere strikes and street conflicts that the danger comes, but from the hopeless despair and fraternal hate of those who have no home, no civil rights, no country. And when such as these, defective and delinquent, come under the ban of our laws, we must not forget that in the new penology the old principle of punishment must give place in part to the better and truer methods of reformation ; the "criminal must be studied instead of studying the criminal act, for there are two factors in crime—psycho-physical organization, and external circumstances or environment." And here comes in that most important aid and factor, genealogy. But a few days since, as one of a committee appointed in our Charities Aid work to examine the latest of prison reformatory methods, I was shown at the Reformatory at Concord, Mass., the collection of large volumes in which are written biographical records of over 4,000 prisoners. Here were inquiries covering the complete ancestral history for one or two generations of criminals, evidences of degeneration and disease, mental endowments and conditions, degree of moral sense and general sensitiveness; every record being made by the superintendent in person. Impressions aie received and information obtained, which, as the sentences are indeterminate, suggest the best course of treatment, spiritually, mentally, and physically, and thus the prisoner goes into that training reformative and regenerative, and not alone punitive, which in so many thousands of cases has, in God's providence, not only recovered our enemy the criminal to a respectable, self- supporting place in society again, but has, by a renovating physical, edu- :

28 Dominie Laurentius Van Gaasbeek and his Descendants. [Jan., cational, and technological regime, superinduced in his consciousness the dawning idea of a Creator who is the common Father of us all, and with this an uplifting sense of brotherhood and universal kinship. Such is the course being now pursued in seventeen different reforma- tories in our country, and without the aid of the science of genealogy it may well be said that none of the beneficial results which we now see could possibly have been attained. I had somewhat more to say as to details in regard to records of heredity, but space forbids. And now, in conclusion, permit me to urge upon the reader's attention the serious advantages of every one's preserving, with thoughtful care, every record connected with your family his-

tory ; a history which grows more valuable each hour. There is always some one about the home fireside who, if encouraged and aided, will make this his or her study, and often too it is one who, by unselfish devotion to study rather than to baiter and gain, has been left with but a small portion of this world's goods. Let that one, my rich and busy friend, be your treasured and helpful historian.

Do not forget that, as each one of us can bear witness, it is the dear old family Bible we learned first to know at a loving mother's knee, that contains the family records ; and surely we should hold as sacred, not only its priceless teachings, but also those short but touching family histories, often tear-stained, which have been there written by a brave father or a sainted mother. God grant that now, in this day of great machines, combines, and greed of gold, our people may learn anew how to truly revere a noble lineage and a Bible-loving parentage. Remember

" The honors of a name 'tis just to guard ; They are" a trust bat lent us, which we take, And should, in reverence to the donor's fame, With care transmit them down to other hands. How vain are all hereditary honors, These poor possessions from another's deeds. Unless our own just virtues form our title And give a sanction to our fond assumption."

DOMINIE LAURENTIUS VAN GAASBEEK AND HIS DESCENDANTS.

By Cornelius H. Van Gaasbeek, Jr.

Among the first of the Dutch clergy, educated in the universities of Holland, and sent to this country by the Classis of Amsterdam, was Dominie Laurentius Van Gaasbeek. From entries made in his family Bible, extracts from which are still preserved in other family Bibles, it is learned that he was the son of Goevert Van Gaasbeek and Jacomyntje

, presumably residents of Leyden, Holland. From the same record it is learned that his parents had three children, if not more, viz. Dominie Laurentius Van Gaasbeek, Cornelius Van Gaasbeek, Cornelia Van Gaasbeek. ,

First Generation".

1 1. Dominie Liurentius ; born in Holland, died at New York City February, 1680. The first of the family to arrive in America, and pro- genitor of all who bear his name in this country. From his diploma, received from the University of Leyden, it appears that he was graduated from that university with honors May 25, 1674, receiving the degree of

M.D.* On the 28th of May, 1673, ' ie was married in the High Dutch Church at Leyden, by Dominie Johannes Muller, to Laurentia Van de

Kellenaar (died May 3, 1703), sister of Sarah Van de Kellenaar, who married Dominie Johannes Weeckstein, the third pastor of the Dutch Church at Kingston, N. Y. After having been without a regular pastor for about ten years, the Dutch Church at Kingston entered into the following agreement. "We, ihe underwritten members of the three congregations having agreed on the salary of the preacher, bind ourselves to support the minister for eight years. Hurley shall pay 100 schepels of wheat, Marble- town 160 schepels of wheat, and Kingston 400 schepels of wheat, and in case they will call a minister alone, information shall be given to the other towns one year prior, to provide for themselves, if not, this remains in full force. In acknowledgment to, and to have this observed and un- broken, they have hereto written their own names this 26 th of September 1677."

The following petition or request was also sent to Gov. Edmund Andros and approved by him October 8. 1677.

" To the Honorable Lord Sir Edmund Andros Governor General, under His Royal Highness James Duke of York, over all his Territories in America.

Honored Lord Whereas we in the three villages are at present without a preacher and cannot get assistance from our neighbors, they being so far apart from another, so we have by voluntary contributions raised six hundred schepels of wheat as your Honor will see from the enclosed List.

Coincident with the preceding, the Consistory made out a call or request to the Classis of Amsterdam for a pastor to be sent out to them by that body. The original call in the Dutch language, with the signatures of the Consistory, was brought back to this country by Dominie Van Gaasbeek, as part of his credentials, and is still preserved. A trans- * lation follows :

"To the Honorable and Most Worthy Classis at Amsterdam.

Honorable Sirs : Whereas, in the Esopus district, under the jurisdiction of New York, are three villages at present without a teacher or official preacher there ; we have conjointly raised six hundred schepels of wheat to be applied to the support of a preacher in behalf of the three aforesaid villages which with regard to assistance are placed too far away from' another. There- fore. we feel constrained to bring before your honorable body our need of your assistance (in your ^official capacity) in finding a preacher for us, willing to come here for living wages. A man of high trust and sound doctrine may enjoy the term of his»wages for years, while we bind ourselves to pay him upon the arrival of his journey here. Moreover the preacher shall have his dwelling and firewood free. Meanwhile are we anxiously looking for the coming of a well qualified teacher. We also remain until further your humble brethren and servants in Christ Jesus, the Consistory at Kingston, Hurley and Marbletown." [signed] Wessel Ten Broeck. Jan. MatthysEn. Dirk Schepmoes.

In response to this call, Dominie Van Gaasbeek, duly accredited by the Classis of Amsterdam, sailed for New Amsterdam on the' 13th of May, 1678, arriving there August 21 of that year. He departed for the town of Kingston in Ulster County, where he arrived with his family on the 8th of September, 1678, and delivered his first sermon on the 15th of

the same month. In consequence of the protracted vacancy in the pastorate, the church had become somewhat weakened and scattered. Dominie Van Gaasbeek at once set to work with vigor to recover some of the ground lost in the previous eleven years. He was zealous in the work of the church and faithful in the discharge of his duties. A blessing attended his efforts, so that in one year the membership increased to one hundred and eighty. D.uring his pastorate a new and substantial stone church, forty-five by sixty feet, was erected on the northeast corner of Wall and Main Streets. It was built in true Holland style, with highly colored, painted window glass bearing the coat-of-arms of William, Prince of Orange. The new edifice was completed and dedicated about January i, 1680. Dominie Van Gaasbeek did not live long to enjoy and preach in the new and commodious church, as his career was cut short by death, February, 1680. He was taken sick with a fever, and for medicak treatment went to New York where he died. His unexpected 'death filled the minds of the people with sadness, and cast a gloom over the prospects of the young church, which had flourished so much under his fostering care. Dominie Van Gaasbeek was a man of culture and refinement, having been educated both as a physician and clergyman, and was familiarly called the "Dominie Doctor." He was a member of the first ecclesias- tical body of the Dutch Church in America. In the year 1679 Governor Andros authorized and directed the Dutch clergy to form a Classis and ordain Peter Tesschemaeker, then a candidate for the ministry. Accord- ingly Dominies Van Nieuwenhuysen, Schaats, Van Gaasbeek, and Van Zuuren formed a Classis and examined and ordained Tesschemaeker to the ministry. The proceedings of this Classis, convened at the call of an Episcopal Governor, were afterwards confirmed by the Classis of Amster- dam. The widow of Dominie Van Gaasbeek, Laurentia Kellenaar, married (1681) her second husband, Major Thomas Chambers, Lord of the Manor of Foxhall, who departed this life April 8, 1694, leaving his property to the children of the Dominie, and devising his Manor to the Dominie's only son upon the condition of his assuming the surname of Chambers. Laurentia Kellenaar married September 26, 1695, her third husband, Wessel Ten Broeck, Sr., a sketch of whom will be found in the Record, Vol. XIX., page 69 (April, iSSS).

Col. Wessel Ten Broeck, Jr., resided in the stone mansion known as the "Senate House," Kingston, N. Y., and which the Colonel or his father undoubtedly erected the latter part of the seventeenth century. onel Ten Broeck was prominently connected with the affairs of King- ston, being Justice of the Peace for years, and was Lieutenant-Colonel (1738) of the Ulster County militia, under command of Col.

Francis Salisbury resided at Kingston (where all of his children were baptized with the exception of one), holding the position of trustee of Kingston from 1698 to 1701. He afterwards removed to the old village of Catskill, where he erected a house, and he and his family became identified with the interests of that place. (Family 3.) 2

He was present and signed the treaty between Governor Nicholls and the Esopus Indians, October 7, 1665 ; was a member of the Governor's Council in 1675 ; and Commander-in-Chief for years at Fort Orange, where he acted as a Vice or Lieutenant-Governor for Albany and adjacent parts. Captain Salisbury accompanied Governor Andros to Kingston in 1677, when he held a conference with the Esopus Indians.

Their son Jacob, a Protestant, came to this country on account of religious persecution. 1894.] Dominie Lauren tins Van Gaasbeck and his Descendants. 51 ard was son of Samuel Bayard and Anna Stuyvesant, the tatter a sister of Gov. Peter Stuyvesant, in whose company she came to New Amsterdam in 1647. She was a widow, and faced the dangers and hardships of a new country for the. opportunities it offered to her three sons, who came with her, viz., Nicholas Bayard, Mayor of New York City 1685, Peter Bayard, and Balthazar Bayard. These men all hecame wealthy and influential. Blandina Kiersted was daughter of Dr. Mans Kiersted and Sarah Roeioftse Janse (m., Dutch Church, N. Y., June 29, 1642). The latter was a daughter of Roeloff Jansen and Annetje Webber, more familiarly known to her descendants as " Anneke Jans." Abraham was an infant when his father died. His mother, I.aurentia Kellenaar, married, 168 1, Major Thomas Chambers, Lord of the Manor of Foxhall, and at once took up her residence at the mansion house of the Manor. No children blessed this marriage. Thomas Chambers, disappointed in the hope of having children of his own, took great interest in the three young children of his wife. Abraham, the son, became his especial favorite, being fifteen years old when his stepfather died, April 8, 1694. Abraham knew no other father than Thomas Chambers, and the latter esteemed the boy as if he were his own. By his last will, dated April 5, 1694, after providing for the two daughters of his wife, he leaves his entire Lordship and Manor and other estate to Abraham, upon the condition of his assuming the surname of Chambers. In his will he provides that Abraham "is to be brought up and taught so farr as possible untill he come to age." The estate was left in possession of the widow until Abraham should be of age, which was in December, 1700, when Abraham Gaasbeek Chambers became Lord of the Manor of Foxhall, vested with all its privileges and estates, becoming the richest and one of the most influential men in the Esopus.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY.

The regular semi-monthly meetings of the Society were resumed in October. No addresses were delivered in that month. At the meeting held November 10th, Rev. Dr. Newland Maynard spoke on "Sacred Art and Mediaeval Architecture," as shown in the English Cathedrals, and Mrs. Julia Ward Howe read a paper on Mrs. Lucy Stone Blackwell. November 24th an interesting business and conversational meeting was held, and December 8th Mr. Josiah Collins Pumpelly delivered an address on " Genealogy, its Aims and its Utility.'' The following members have been recentlv elected : Resident —Dr. Isaac Hull Piatt, Dr. Thomas E. Salterlhwaite, Charles Wyllys Cass, Richard T. Greene, Dr. Richard Kalish, Alexander Crawford Cheno- with, H. C. F. Randolph, Morris P. Ferris, Frederick G. Swan, C. La Rue Munson. Mrs. Gamaliel C. St. John, Mrs. Ellen Hardin Walworth, William M. Corwin, John Edward Marsh. Honorary— Mrs. Julia Ward Howe. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the formation of the society will occur February 27, 1894, and it has been decided to celebrate the event in an appropriate manner. A committee has been appointed for that purpose, consisting of the following gentlemen : Theophylact 15. Bleecker, Samuel Burhans, Jr., Thomas C. Cornell, S. Victor Constant, Henry T. Drowne, Dr. Ellsworth Eliot, James J. Goodwin, Gen. George S. Greene, Richard H. Greene, Dr. William F. Holcombe, Rufus King, Charles L.

Lamberton, Herbert D. Lloyd, J. Pierpont Morgan, Howland Pell, John V. L. Pruyn, Josiah C. Pumpelly, Dr. Samuel S. Purple, Frederick D. Thompson, Cornel- ius Vanderbilt, A. V. W. Van Vechten, and T. A. Wright, and the President, Secretary, and Treasurer of the society, ex-officio. This committee organized by the appointment of Dr. S. S. Purple as chairman and Richard H. Greene as secretary, and decided to give a reception on the afternoon of the anniversary day, and to hold a meeting in the evening at which addresses on subjects connected with the Society's work should be delivered. Much interest has been manifested in the proposed celebration, and it is hoped and believed that it will greatly advance the welfare of the Society.

OBITUARIES.

BUTTRE. —John Chester Buttre was born in Auburn, N. V., June 10, 1821, and died at Ridgewood, N. J., December 2, J893. He was the son of William Puttie, b. in Perthshire, Scotland, August 9, 17S2, d. in New York City, October 2. 1864; and Mary Ann (Lathrop) Buttre, b. in Fairfield, Herkimer County, N. Y., April 2, 1S00, d. in Ridgewood, N. J., May 7, 1882. Mr. Buttre was one of the oldest and most widely known of the publishers, engravers, and plate-printers in America. He commenced business in Auburn in 1S3S, and removed to New York in 1841, being of late years at 32 Cortlandt Street. He published The American Portrait Gallery, of which there have been several editions issued, and his daughter, Lillian C. Buttre, assisted him in the work. The biographical sketches are cleverly told, and therefore possess an abiding interest. He was a general engraver and plate-printer, and for many years has made a spe- cialty of engraving fine portraits on steel, several being for members of this Society.

The old Diploma plate, engraved on copper by J. J. Le Veau, of Paris (France), for the Society of the Cincinnati in the last century, was found to be very badly corroded, in May, 1888, and Mr. Buttre, from motives of patriotis-m, devoted many clays to its restoration, thereby meriting the thanks of the General Society of the Cincinnati at its Triennial Meeting in 1890. Mr. Buttre was a coi responding member of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, and also a corresponding member of the Rhode Island Histor- ical Society. 11. t. d. 4 2 Av/es and Queries. [Jan.,

Moore. —Charles B. Moore, one of the early members of the New York Genea- logical and Biographical Society, for many years a Trustee and a member of the Publication Committee, and since 1S70 the chairman of the Committee on Biograph- ical Bibliography, died at his residence in this city on Monday, December ir, 1893. An extended sketch of Mr. Moore's life will appear in the next number of The Record.

NOTES AND QUERIES.

Eliot. — The early years of John Eliot, " Apostle to the Indians," were passed in Widford, County of Hertford in ; Nazeing, County of Essex , at Little Baddow in the same county; and at Jesus College, Cambridge University. In the Parish Register of the Church of St. John Baptist at Widford, his baptism is thus recorded : "John Elliott the sonne of Bennett Elliott was baptized the fyfte daye of Augusle in the yeare of o* Lord God, 1604." The baptism of his sister Sarah in 1599, his brother Phillip in 1602, and his brother Jacob in 1606 are also recorded in this Parish Register.

Among the marriages is this : Bennett Eliot and Letteye Aggar were married the 30th of October, 1598. Subsequent to 1606 and prior to 1610 the family doubtless removed to Nazeing, as in the Parish Register of the Church of All Saints in that Parish are recorded the baptisms of Lydia in 1610, of Francis in 1615, and of Mary in 1620. The Register also shows that in the churchyard there are the graves, unmarked and unknown, of Letteye Eliot, who died in 1620, and Bennet Eliot, who died in 1621 — the fatherand mother of the " Apostle."

In the library of Jesus College, Cambridge University, is a copy of the Indian Bible presented by John Eliot, as his inscription on the fly-sheet shows. This priceless volume has been but recently discovered. Widford is about twenty-five miles north from London, and four and one-half miles east from Ware. It contains about 500 inhabitants, and probably presents about the same appearance as when John Eliot was born there. The Church of St. John Baptist is an ancient structure, built no one can tell when and how. Parts of it are probably about 8oo years old, dating from the days of the Normans. Venerable in appearance, it looks as if it had stood for ages and would continue for centuries undilapidated. The tower, built at a later date than the main building, but still not far from 500 years old, contains a peal of six bells of exceptional sweetness and purity. Some of them are of great antiquity. Through the kindness of the Rector, the Rev. John Traviss Lockwood, arrangements have been made to erect a stained-glass window to John Eliot's memory. Mr. Lockwood has kindly consented that the ehancel window, the most desirable one in the church, may be used for this purpose. Messrs. Burlinson & Grylls, 23 Newman Street, London, are preparing a design, a copy of which will soon be received. It will be an appropriate and beautiful memorial. The Rector of the church is thoroughly acquainted with this kind of work, and will give it his unremitting attention. The inscription will be : To the Glory of God and in Pious Remembrance of John Eliot, A.B., Cantab., called "The Apostle to the Indians," who was Baptized in this

Church, August 5, 1604; Emigrated to New England A.D., 1631 ; and Died in Rox- bury, Massachusetts, May 21, 1690. This window was erected by his descendants. A.D. 1S93 (or [894). " The Righteous shall be in Everlasting Remembrance.'" The cost will be about $ 1,000. Contributions of $1 and upwards from every one who claims descent from John Eliot, and from those who have married descendants, are solicited, and if sent to the undersigned, 48 West 36th Street, N. V., will be promptly acknowledged. ELLSWORTH ELIOT.

PREVOST. Bartow. —[The Publication Committee is in receipt of the following letter from Rev. E. P. Bartow, of Providence, R. I., a corresponding member of the Society and a valued contributor to Tin-: Record.] '"Will you please insert a correction to my article on the ' Prevost Family in America,' in The Record of January, 1SS2 [vol. xiii. p. 27].

' ter of Trinity Church, New York, as follows : 1763, July 28, Marcus Prevost and Theodosia Bartow.' This latter is very important evidence, and refutes the saying of some of the Prevost family that Gen. Mark Prevost married Theodosia de Visme and not Theodosia Bartow. " Yours very truly, " Evelyn P. Bartow."

TERHUNE. —Jane Terhune married in New York about 1840, Joseph Kettell, born

in Boston. February 16, 1S09 ; died in St. Augustine, Fla., January 25, 1845, whither he had gone for his health. He was of a highly intelligent mind and great natural abilities, but owing to extreme delicacy of health was unable to engage in any regular profession. He was a son of Thomas Prentice and Hannah Dawes (Peirce) Kettell. formerly of Boston. The birth, death, marriage, and parentage, and second marriage of Jane (Terhune) Kettell are wanted for the Pickering Genealogy. Harrison Ellery, 28 State Street, Boston.

The Letter Y in the Holland Language.—I doubt that Mr. Banta is precise in saying that the letter Y occurs in proper names. Leiden has ti, and Leiden is a proper name. Perhaps it would be exactly correct to say that y occurs in some family names. Such names have arbitrary spelling, and it is customary for other persons to follow the usage of the family which bears the name. I do not see why

Van Speik, with ei, is not the correct form, unless it be a family name, of a family which persisls in the use of ey. According to Sewell, the ei or ey would have the sound of the English word " eye." (See " Notes and Queries " in Record for Octo- ber, 1893.) RICHARD WYNKOOP.

KlSSAM. —Alexander Kissam. born about 1815, died December 28 or 29, 1846, son of Joseph and Hannah (?) Kissam. He married October 28, 1846, Annie Peirce Kettell, born July 27, 1820, daughter of Thomas P. and Hannah D. Kettell. When and where was he born, and where did he die (probably New York), and more particulars of his parents, are wanted for the Pickering Genealogy. Harrison Ellery, 28 State Street, Boston. Van den VVOUWER. — Wanted, information of or concerning Edmond Francois- Charles van den Wouwer (Vandenwouwer), born at Antwerp, Belgium, November 21. 1833, lived in New York, Hoboken, and Elizabeth-City [sic]. He was an officer in the Northern army during the war of secession. Please address the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, 23 West Forty-fourth Street. New- York, or Mr. Alphonse Goovaerts, Archives Generales du Royaume, Brussels, Bel- gium.

I'.rodhead. — In Vol. XIX. p. 71 (April, 1888), of The Record, in "Children of Maria Ten Broeck ami Charles Brodhead" there is an error. Their son, Daniel, married Marritye Cox (or Kok) and not Hester Wyngaard. The Daniel who married Hester Wyngaard was a son of Richard Brodhead, the son of old ('apt. Daniel Brodhead. L. B.

BOOK NOTICED

The German Allied Troops in the North American War oe Independ- ence, 1 77<>-i 783. Translated and abridged from the German of Max Von Eelking by J. G. Rosengarten. Joel Munsell's Sons, Albany, N. V., 1893. Sq. 8vo, boards. More than a century after the close of the War of Independence, the learned translator has laid before the English reading public Van Eelking's work, written 1894-] Book Notices. ac thirty years ago, in which (he author seeks to reverse the verdict of history and the judgment of mankind, and to prove that tardy history had not done justice to these " troops ; and to protect and restore the good name and credit of the German soldiers, ruthlessly attacked on all sides for their share in the American Revolu- tionary War." His effort on behalf of his countrymen engaged in that momentous straggle is as patriotic as it is difficult, as the very name of Hessian has become the synonym of all that is sordid and mercenary. To make out his case and to establish that these German troops, recruited from a number of the small principalities, but usually known and designated as Hessians for the reason that the largest lines came from I Iesse-Cassel, were not mere 'hireling-," and that they marched willingly as volunteers and under orders, the author has been diligent in his researches and has drawn largely on contemporary journals, letters, reports, and newspapers to supply the absence of the official archives closed to the historical student. He has thus added much to the material of history and thrown an interesting side light on events of great moment in the history of the world. That they were only volunteers in a cause rightful to them, the pages of the book do not sustain. We are told of the large and ever-increasing bounties paid in gold and offers of land. Some came with intent to remain and settle in a new and fruitful land, and others, as their subsequent acts show, to prey upon and plunder the people and country they hoped to subjugate, and to divide among themselves the rich spoils " of war. Musketeer Dohla (pp. 190-191) says of the plunder of Hackensack : We gathered fine plunder, gold and silver watches, silver forks and spoons, furniture, good clothes, fine English linen, silk stockings, gloves, and carats, with other silk, woolen and cotton clothing." He inventories his ''own booty," among which are " two silver watches, three necklackes of silver, four woman's shirts, one silver table- spoon, one silver teaspoon, five Spanish dollars, and six York shillings." How willingly they went as volunteers is seen (pp. 101-102), when the Bayreuth regiment, 600 strong, on the river Main, broke out in open revolt and refused to march until, " after sharp firing," " the Grenadier Company charged on the scattered men " and brought them back "with a loss of 40 men in the Bayreuth regiment." After this kind of persuasion the men went forward willingly. No doubt they went under orders, as the rulers of these little principalities had made hard bargains with the English government to replenish their exhausted ex- chequers. The dead as well as the living were to be paid for, and " three wounded men were to count as one dead man." It is estimated the cost to the English Gov- ernment was ^850,000 for these soldiers annually, and the subsidies were to continue for two years after the close of the war. It is estimated 27,166 of these troops were sent to America, of which number 11,853 were lost. Interesting matter is given relating to the battle of Trenton. Rail appears to be made the scapegoat. He is charged with being inefficient and careiess ami with carousing the night before the battle. His fault appears to have been in underesti- mating the rebels. He " hoped Washington himself would come over (the Delaware) that he might make him prisoner." Gen. Washington treated his prisoners kindly and wanted the German officers to dine with him. One of them in his diary thus " describes the Commander-in-Chief : His countenance is not that of a great hero, hi* eyes have no fire, but a friendly smile, when he speaks, inspires love and affection. He is a courtly man of fine aspect, polished and somewhat restrained ; says " little, has a shrewd look, is of middle height and a good figure (p. 70'. We regret the translator has not given us the book in its entirety, thus avoiding some confusion in dates and presenting a more complete picture of events. The book is printed on good paper and in large, clear type, making it very satisfactory and pleasant to the reader. C. L. L.

The Moulton Family : Some Descendants of John Moulton and William Moulton, <>t" Hampton, N. H., 1592-1892. Compiled by Augustus E. Moulton. Sq. 8vo, cloth, pp. 99.

The Moulton family (the name being variously spelled Mullon, Muleton, Molton, Moleton, Moulson, and Moulton) is of English origin, the earliest member of it of whom any mention is made being "Thomas Multon, or He Multon, stated in the Domesday Book to have been put in possession of an estate called Galeshore." Seven of the name are found among the earliest settlers of this country, one, Thomas, being of Jamestown, Va. , and the others of Massachusetts, namely, Robert and lames, of

Salem ; Thomas, of Charlestown ; and Thomas, John, and William, of Newbury. z|_6 Book Notices. [Jan..

The three latter removed to Hampton, N. IT., where John and William remained, Thomas subsequently settling in York, Me. The compiler—himself a descendant of William — traces down for seven or eight generations the descendants of John and William, who are supposed to have been brothers. The book is neatly printed and bound, and contains a portrait of the compiler. It loses much of its value, however, by not having an index of the names of those who intermarried with the Moultons. T.

The title which appears above is properly comprehensive. Genealogies should be indicated, first, by the lettering on the back of the volume. Here it is simply "Cole Genealogies, Frank T.

And, second (as genealogies are not made for continuous reading), by the index, which is the important feature — the more full and accurate the belter and, as in this ; volume, the surname should be divided up under the Christian names, and so prevent the searcher being detained to look at a dozen where there may be but one who bears the name he seeks. It is more work, as any one knows who has done any indexing, but one works not only for all but for all time, and the saving of time in the end is immense. r. h. G.

Journal of Colonel George Washington, Commanding a Detachment of Virginia Troops, sent by Robert Dinwiddie, Lieutenant-Governor of Virginia, across the Alleghany Mountains, in 1754, to build forts at the head of the Ohio. With an Appendix. Edited, with notes, by J. M. Toner, M.D. Albany, N. V. : Joel Munsell's Sons. 1893. Sq. Svo., boards* pp. 273. Of making books about Washington there seems to be no end, but much reading of them is never a weariness to the flesh. The volume before us is no exception to this rule. The Journal which is here given has a singular history. Kept by Wash- ' ington in the spring and early summer of 1754, on n s march from Alexandria to the Ohio, it fell into the hands of the French, probably at the battle of the ('.rand Meadows in that year. A French translation of it was published in Paris in 1756. and this version is a retranslation from the French into English. Of the whereabouts of the original, nothing is now known. While it is exceedingly interesting, we question its value historically, as the French version was undoubtedly much garbled. The histoiical and biographical notes by the editor are full and very valuable. T. G. E.

A Genealogical Record of Mathew Pratt of Weymouth, Massachu- setts, and his American Descendants. 1623-1889. By Francis G. Pratt, Jr. Boston, Mass., 1890.

The author of this particularly well-printed octavo volume, who is a member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, has performed his labor of love in a highly creditable manner. To prepare a family history covering a peri d of two hundred and sixty-six years and to do it thoroughly, as Mr. Pratt has done, is no slight labor. He was greatly aided in his work by Judge Granville Pratt, who devoted his leisure hours for many years to the preparation of a family genealogy, and who, on learning that the present volume was in progress with prospect of an early publication, generously contributed the result of his own labors to the common fund of family history. We may add that much valuable information relating to the Pratt families of England may be found in Chapman's Genealogy of the Pratls of Connecticut, who were descendants of William Pratt of Saybrook. w.

These three volumes, the latest in the (beat Commanders Series, fully sustain the reputation gained by those previously issued. They successfully aim to give, in a Book No/ices. 1894.] 47 comparatively brief space, the salient points in the military careers of their respective subjects, and they show the wide scope of the series, picturing to us a hero of the

Revolution, General Nathaniel Greene ; a leading spirit of the Confederacy in the late War of the Rebellion, General Joseph E.Johnston ; and one of the strongest characters on the side of the Union in the same war, General George II. Thomas. Each of these men was cast in a large mould, and each has in his life and career something worthy of emulation. The volumes are well printed, tastefully bound, and of a convenient size, and each contains a portrait and several maps. T. G. E.

We do not often receive genealogical publications from the extreme South, but New England stock takes pride in its ancestry which distance does not quench. The author quotes from "The Rambler'': '' He that wishes to be counted among the benefactors of posterity must add by his own toil to the acquisitions of his ancestry." These words deserve to be engraved and remembered. The day has gone by when self-respecting men may boast ignorance of those who bore their blood. Knowledge of the past should inspire the desire to keep up the standard and, if possible, raise it. Ignorance of the past marks one as unworthy to be remembered in the future. R. H. G.

History of the Town of Rochester, New Hampshire, from 1722 to 1S90. By Franklin McDuffie, A.M. Edited and revised by Sylvanus Hayward. 2 vols., 8vo, Manchester, 1892.

Nearly thirty years ago Mr. McDuffie began a series of valuable historical sketches that appeared during subsequent years in the columns of the Rochester Courier. His untimely death left the work unfortunately incomplete, and his father, thinking a history of Rochester would be a more enduring monument for his son than marble or granite, induced Mr. Hayward to take up the unfinished work. This he has done with good judgment, producing two octavo volumes which are handsomely illustrated with numerous steel portraits, photographic views, maps, and fac-similes of ancient documents. A carefully prepared and exhaustive index, extending to sixty pages, enhances the value of this excellent historical work. w.

DESCENT OF MAJOR-GENERAL GERSHOM MOTT, OF NEW JERSEY.

By his Daughter, Miss Kate A. Mott.

Major-General Gershom Mott of New Jersey traced his descent from the immigrant from Essex, England, the first Adam Mott* of Hemp- stead, L. I., through Adam's son Gershom, who was born in Hempstead in 1663. The name Mott, or De la Motte, is French, and not uncommon. De la Motte Fenelon was the great Archbishop of Cambrai. It is not, however, proposed here to attempt to trace the European ancestry of the immigrant Adam Mott. But it may be noted that the Mott family had been prominent in the county of Essex, England, for several centuries, and doubtless came originally from France, perhaps with William the Conqueror. After a time the French prefix had been usually abandoned, although De Motte or De la Motte is still retained in some families both in this country and in England. The Motts of Essex, England, owned many manors, and the main line can be traced for five hundred years. The crest of the Essex Motts is a star with eight points on a crown, and " a Latin motto which in English reads : Speed, strength, truth, "f The Motts of Essex overflowed into adjoining counties, and an earlier Adam Mott came from the adjacent county of Cambridge to Boston, then very recently founded, several years before the Adam Mott of Essex was in New Amsterdam. According to the records of the Dutch Church of New Amsterdam, Adam Mott of Essex, England, was married in New Amsterdam on the 28th July, 1647, to Jane Hulet of Buckingham, England. The record shows that neither had been previously married. About a year before this date, on the 23d April, 1646, the Dutch Government of New Nether- lands granted to Adam Mott twenty-five morgans of land on Mespath Kill (Newtown Creek). The Albany records (iv., pages 187-89-90) also mention Adam Mott as witness in the court in New Amsterdam on the 23d October, 1645, and even earlier than this, on the 6th June and 10th

*For convenience of the reader in tracing the line of descent, the names of the lineal ancestors of General Gershom Mutt are printed in capitals. The generations 1 are numbered in the usual way : the immigrant Adam Mott. his son Gershom,'*' and so on.

May, 1644. He apparently remained in New Amsterdam for several years, for according to the same church records his infant son Adam was baptized on the 14th November, 1649, tne sponsors being Thomas Hall, Oloff Stevenson Van Cortlandt, and Elsie Miiytiens (Alice Newton, wife of Captain Bryan Newton). These were among the most respectable people of the infant city, then numbering perhaps one thousand souls. James, the second son of Adam, was baptized on the 15th October, 1651, the sponsors being Rebecca Cornell, who subsequently married George

Wolsey ; Bryan Newton, and Carel Ver Brugge (Charles Bridges), who married Sarah Cornell, sister of Rebecca and widow of Thomas Willett, and mother of Colonel Thomas Willett, of Flushing.* It has been sometimes assumed that this Adam Mott, of New Amsterdam in 1644-52, was the son of the earlier Adam Mott who came to Boston from Cambridge, England, in 1635, in the ship Defence, with his family, including a son Adam, then twelve years old. This Adam Mott of Cambridge, who was in Boston in 1635, moved to Hing- ham about 1636, and subsequently to Portsmouth, R. I.; and his son Adam, who married Mary Lott, may be traced in Portsmouth until his death, about 1673,1 and must not be confounded with the Adam Mott of Hempstead who married Jane Hulet in New Amsterdam in 1647. Soon after the birth of his second son, James, Adam Mott appears to have moved from New Amsterdam toward Hempstead on Long Island. The first entry on the first page of Book A of the Hempstead Records, March 17, 1657, certifies that Adam Mott was chosen one of the townsmen for that year. His descendants, as well as the Hulets or Hewletts, have been prominent in Hempstead and the neighboring towns down to the present day, nearly two hundred and fifty years.

1 1 Jane Hulet, the first wife of the immigrant Adam, died after bearing him eight children, the youngest of whom was Gershom, 2 born about 2 1663. Adam Mott * subsequently married Elizabeth Richbell, one of

1 the daughters of John Richbell, the first patentee of what is now the 2 town of Mamaroneck. Elizabeth Richbell bore him five children, to one of whom he gave the name of Adam, although his eldest son Adam was still living ; and thus in his will, offered for probate in 1689, he speaks of his eldest son Adam and of his youngest son Adam. Elizabeth Richbell's son, William Mott, 3 born in 1674, was ancestor of the celebrated surgeon, Valentine Mott, of New York. Richbell Mott, 3 the eldest of the Richbell children, born in 1668, was ancestor of several persons of prominence. One of his granddaughters, Margaret, married in 1749 Melancthon Smith, a statesman of note in his day, whose grandson, Admiral Melancthon Smith o{ the United States Navy, died in the summer of 1893. Jordan L. Mott, a prominent man in New York during the latter half of the present century, was descended from the first Adam Mott of Hempstead, through Joseph, the fifth son of his first wife, Jane Hulet. Gershom Mott, 2 son of the immigrant Adam Mott and Jane Hulet, removed in early manhood to Monmouth County, New Jersey, where he became prominent. He is first named in the Monmouth records about 1685. He was High Sheriff of the county in 1697-98, and member of the Provincial Assembly (Archives, N. J.) in 1707, 1708, 1709, 1710, * See Dutch marriages under above dates. f Austin's Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island. 1894.] Major-General Get shorn Mott, of New Jersey. l-j

and 1 713. He was expelled from the Assembly with others for refusing to vote for the Cornbury faction in 17 10. In 1695 Gershom Mott 2 married Catherine Bowne,* a daughter of Captain John Bowne (Salter's Early Settlers of Ocean and Monmouth Counties), whose father, William Bowne, first settled in Monmouth County about 1636 and died there in 1677. John Bowne was granted forty acres of land at Jefferies Creek. He is mentioned in the first Mon- mouth patents paid for his portion of land bought of the Indians, and ; was member of the Provincial Assembly, 1703. 2 Gfrshom Mott is mentioned as one of the heirs of Captain Bowne. His cattle-mark is recorded February 16, 1687, subsequently transferred 2 to his son James. Gershom Mott describes himself in will, dated February 15, 1730, in the reign of George III., as "Gershom Mott, gentleman, of Middletown, Monmouth County." This will was probated March 30, 1733, and is on file in the office of the Secretary of State of New Jersey. The following children of the first Gershom Mott ' are named in his family Bible : 3 1. John, born December 1, 1697. 3 2. William, born November 9, 1699. 3 3. Gershom, born May 15, 1702. 3 4. Asher, born June 27, 1704. 3 5. James, born April 5, 1707. 3 6. Huldah, born October 31, 1709. 3 2 William Mott, born November 9, 1699, second son of Gershom and Catherine (Bowne) Mott, was ancestor of the General. I can find little in regard to him. He was member of the Provincial Assembly in 1742 (Archives). He married (family Bible) Margaret Hartshorne, a descendant of Richard Hartshorne (Salter's Monmouth County), whose father, William Hartshorne, was of Leicestershire, Fngland. Richard Hartshorne ' was born there October 24, 1641, and married Margaret

Carr, November 29, 1670. Their children were : f

1 . Robert. 2. Hugh. 3. Thomas. 4. Mary. 2 5. William, born January 22, 1679. 6. Richard.

1 Richard Hartshorne, the immigrant above named, came to this country September 16, 1669 ; located at the Highlands, Monmouth N. was a County, J.; Quaker of good repute ; was Town Clerk of Middle- town 1675 an<3 1676, member of Provincial Assembly 1683, 1686, 1698, and 1699 ; Speaker of Assembly 1686 ; made a deed of gift of his High- 2 land property to his son William ; resided at Sandy Hook in a house now standing next to the Baptist parsonage and the oldest in the county.

In the division of town lots at Middletown, 1667, lot 25 was awarded to William Golding, who sold it to Richard Hartshorne, April 23, 1670, recorded in Town Book, page 48, November 25, 1672. 3 William Mott's will is dated Middletown, May 14, 1742. 3 The children of William 3 and Margaret* (Hartshorne) Mott, as given in his family Bible, now in possession of his descendants in Iowa, were : 4 1. John, born January 18, 1734. 4 2. Sarah, born August 10, 1735. 4 3. Gershom, born November 18, 1737. 4 4. Asher, born February 17, 1739. John Mott, 4 * eldest son (family Bible) of William, was captain in the

Revolution and grandfather of General Gershom Mott ; married 17th June, 1784, Eleanor Johnston, widow of Gaptain Alexander of the British Navy. Sarah, 4 daughter of William and Margaret, married William Biles. 4 Gershom, second son, married Annie Godley, May 11, 1773, and had Sarah, born March 1, 1774. 4 Asher, third son, married Annie Biles, and had : 6 1. Mary, born April 3, 1770, married Isaac Chapman. 2. William," born September 11, 1771. 6 3. John, born October 24, 1773, married Lydia Swift. 6 4. Margaret, born October 29, 1776, married Alexander Chambers. 6 5. Asher, born April 24, 1778.

Captain John Mott, son of William and Margaret ( Hartshorne) Mott and grandfather of General Gershom Mott, was born, as above stated, on the 1 8th January, 1734, and was therefore twenty-one years old when the French and Indian War broke out and Washington made his first campaign at the age of twenty-two as Aid to Braddock in 1775, and was twenty-five years old when Wolfe fell on the Plains of Abraham on the 13th September, 1759. ^ * s a tradition in the family that in this war with the French he served in the British Army and fought before Quebec. When, however, the battle of Lexington, in April, 1775, opened the American Revolution, John Mott was living on the farm above Trenton now occupied by the New Jersey Hospital for the Insane. He also owned a mill, and took an active part in all public affairs, and was among the first to join in armed resistance to British aggression. It may be recalled that in the summer of 1775 General Montgomery conducted an army from New York into Lower Canada, captured Mon- treal, and was killed before Quebec on the 31st of December, 1775. General Sullivan succeeded Montgomery, and John Mott is supposed to have been among his soldiers, having either gone with Montgomery, or perhaps having joined the reinforcements which followed Montgomery. But this attack upon Canada was abandoned in the spring or early summer of 1776. The Canadians proved not to be in sympathy with the American colonists. In the official records of the local military organizations of New Jersey John Mott is named on 9th February, 1776, as First Lieutenant in Captain Patterson's Company in the Third Battalion,! but it does not appear whether this was his first or second or third term of service. A little before this,

* Salter's Early Settlers of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, p. 33. \ Stryker's Officers and Menj>f Nezv Jersey in the Revolutionary War. 1894-] ^Major-General Gershorn Molt, of New Jersey. n on the 8th of December, 1775, the First and Second New Jersey Battalions had been ordered to New York. (Stryker, p. 15.) On the 3d'of May the Second and Third Battalions went up the Hudson in sloops, and thence to Ticonderoga (Stryker) as reinforcements of General Sullivan, who, after the retreat of the British from Boston on the 17th of March, 1776, had taken command of the army which had retreated from Quebec. As Lieutenant John Mott was in the Third Battalion he was probably in this expedition. The New Jersey battalions were successively in Johnstown, German Flats, Fort Schuyler, Fort Dayton, and Ticonderoga and Fort Independence. They were chiefly engaged in preventing Indian incursions. But they all returned in time to take part in the campaign in New Jersey in the autumn and winter of 1776-77. The British fleets, it should be remembered, brought an army of thirty thousand men to Long Island in the summer of 1776, and defeated Wash- ington at Brooklyn on the 29th August. The Patriot army was driven out of New York in the middle of September; fought and was defeated at White Plains on the 28th of October; crossed the Hudson soon after, and was forced to continue the retreat through New Jersey during November, and reached Trenton on the 2d of December. These were the darkest days of the Revolution, and Washington soon after retreated across the Dela- ware River with the remains of his army. (Irving's Washington, vol. ii. chap, xlii.) But meantime a new army was being organized, new recruits were brought in, enlistments were made for longer terms or " for the war " instead of for the previous short dates, and Congress on the 12th of Decem- ber gave Washington full power relative to the army. Lieutenant Mott and his comrades under Sullivan had just returned from Ticonderoga. In the new organization of the New Jersey troops, John Mott was made captain of the Fifth Company in the Third Battalion (29th November, 1776), and now the four New Jersey battalions constituted the "New Jersey Line" or Maxwell's Brigade. (Stryker, p. 41.) But here, near his old home, Captain Mott's local knowledge made him of great service as Washington's guide, in planning and conducting a new attack upon the British in Trenton. Other farmers of the neighborhood were also called in. On the 20th of December General Sullivan arrived with troops from near Morristown. On the 25th, in the night, General Washington recrossed the Delaware and marched on Trenton. Captain Mott in the darkness of the morning carried a fusee on his shoulder to light General Washington. The weather was stormy, and after they had marched about three miles the Captain said to General Sullivan that the priming powder in the muskets was becoming damp. Sullivan replied: "Well, boys, we must fight them with the bayonet." When Washington " heard this he said : Tell them to use the bayonet, and to penetrate the " town, for the town must be taken ! I am resolved to take it ! As is well known, he took the town and captured a thousand Hessian prisoners.* Captain John Mott can be traced duiing the remainder of the war in the "New Jersey Line" or Maxwell's Brigade. On the nth of Septem- ber, 1777, lri ey opened the battle of Brandywine and afterward encamped near Germantown and formed the reserve corps and left wing at the battle of Germantown. (Stryker, p. 42.) Maxwell's Brigade spent most of the

[April, winter of 1777-78 at Valley Forge, where it may be hoped that Captain- John Mott got leave of absence to. visit his home near Trent n. On the 28th of June, 1778, his command was in the left wing of the army at the battle of Monmouth. In consequence of the "massacre of Wyoming," an army under General Sullivan, of which Maxwell's Brigade formed a part, was sent up the valley of the Susquehanna in the spring of 1779 into the settlements of the Seneca Indians, returning late in the autumn, and the New Jersey troops returned to their own State. They took a prominent part in the fight at Springfield, 23d June, 1780 (Stryker, p. 46), and Captain Mott retired from the army 26th September, 1780. But in the following year the quota of New Jersey troops had so run down that the legislature took vigorous action and appointed a recruiting officer in every county. Captain John Mott consented to serve in that capacity in Hunterdon County. Captain Mott turned his mind after the war to more peaceful ways, but served for a time as captain of militia, and at the mature age of fifty married, as above stated, 17th June, 1784, the widow of Captain Alexander of the British Navy. He and his wife are buried in the Quaker burial-ground in Trenton, at East Hanover and Montgomery Streets, whence it may be supposed that at the time of their death they belonged to the Society of Friends.

Gershom, born July 12, 1785. 2. William," born March 29, 1790. Gershom, 5 son of John 4 and Eleanor, was the father of the General. Gershom Mott 5 (the Judge) lived at Lambeiton, near Trenton. He was a prominent citizen, being collector of the port of Lamberton from 1828 until his death in 1848, being reappointed by each President. He was appointed judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Burlington County October 31, 1833, and held that office at the time of his death. He was a prominent member of the Baptist Church, being a deacon of the First

Baptist Church of Trenton for many years. He married, April 11, 181 1, Phcebe Rose Scudder, daughter of John Scudder (Croley's Ewi?ig Settlers, p. 220), a descendant of the Scudders of Ewing, and Mary Keen. This Mary (Keen) Scudder, grandmother of Major-General Gershom Mott, was one of the thirteen maidens who strewed flowers before General Wash- ington at a reception given him at Trenton on the 21st of April, 1789. 6 Judge Gershom Mott, 5 father of General Gershom Mott, died Octo- 5 ber 14, 1848.

Gershom and Phcebe Rose Mott, born April 7, 1822, at Lamberton, finished his education at the Trenton Academy. In 1836 he entered a store in New York. At the breaking out of the Mexican War he was appointed Second Lieutenant of the Tenth United States Infantry. He participated with credit in all the battles under General Scott, from Vera Cruz to the capture of the City of Mexico, and was mustered out of the service at the close of the war. He was appointed Collector of the Port of Lamberton in 1849, which office he held until appointed clerk, at Borden- town, of the Bordentown and Raritan Canal Company. In 1855 he was made teller of the Bordentown Banking Company, where he remained until 1861. When the first shot was fired on Sumter he volunteered in defence of the country, and was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel Fifth New Jersey Regi- ment, and was wounded in the arm at the battle of second Bull Run, August 29, 1862. He was promoted Colonel of the Sixth New Jersey Volunteers May 8, 1862. Was unanimously recommended by his superior officers for promotion to Brigadier-General September 7, 1862. Was given command on return to duty, December 4, 1862, of the Second Bri- gade New Jersey Volunteers, and then of the Third Brigade, Second Di- vision, Third Army Corps. He was wounded in the hand May 3, 1863, at Chancellorsville. In May, 1864, General Mott was placed in command of the Second Division, Third Corps, and subsequently commanded the Third Division, Second Corps. He was brevetted Major-General Septem- ber 9, 1864, for taking the enemy's outpost and line and over one hundred men. He was wounded in the leg at Amelia Springs, April 6, 1865. After peace was restored, General Mott was given command of the Division of Provincial Corps. Upon its being mustered out, he was ordered to Washington and made a member of the Wirz Commission. November 22 he was detailed as one of the committee to investigate the difficulties between the State of Massachusetts and the Austrian Government. While upon this commission he received his last promotion, December 1, 1865, dated from May 26, 1865, to full Major-General. Major-General Mott was the first volunteer officer to be brevetted r5 Dominie Laurenthis Van Gaasbeek and his Descendants. [April,

Major-General in the Army of the Potomac, there being only one other full Major-General from New Jersey. He resigned February 20, 1866, and was appointed Paymaster of the Camden and Amboy Railroad Com- pany. In 1867 he was tendered the appointment of the colonelcy of the Twenty-second United States Infantry, but declined to accept. In 1873 he became a partner in the iron foundry under the name of Thompson and Mott. Governor Bedle appointed him Treasurer of the State, also Keeper of the New Jersey State Prison for five years. In 1873 Governor Parker appointed him Major-General of the National Guard of New Jer- sey, which rank he held at the time of his death. March 21, 1882, Gov- ernor Ludlow appointed him a member of the Riparian Commission. He was also director, for many years, of the Bordentown Banking Com- pany and the West Jersey and Atlantic Railroad Company, and was treasurer of many small corporations. All the above positions he held at the time of his death, November 29, 18S4. He was also member of the Society of the Cincinnati, the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, and of many army societies. General Gershom Mott left but one child, the compiler of this brief account of his life and descent. And she desires to acknowledge here her many obligations for assistance in putting this narrative into shape, and for notes of the earlier history of the family, to her kinsman of the Mott blood, Mr. Thomas C. Cornell, whose interesting book of his own Mott ancestors brings in also the ancestors of General Gershom Mott.

He was a politician of considerable influence, and a member of the Third United States Congress, 1793 to 1795. ^ lS P r i vate papers were discovered, stored in a loft, in the year 1 886. From them it appears that he was on intimate terms with several prominent men of his time, including Aaron Burr, Alexander Hamilton, and others. He was captain in the Revolutionary Army, and was detailed with his company to protect the property of the Patriots from the depredations of the Tories. For this purpose he was, in the year 1776, stationed at Livingston Manor, where two companies were under his command. He was afterwards promoted to major. (Family 17.)

In connection with his business he ran a sloop between Rondout and New York, the arrival and departure of which was at that time as great an event as is that of a European steamer to-day, the people gathering to welcome and greet its arrival. His wife, Ariaantje, was considered very beautiful, and was quite a belle in her day. Her beauty attracted the attention of General Washington during his visit to Kings- ton, and he sought an introduction at a ball given in his honor. She was familiarly called the "Rose-bud."

THE ANCESTRY OF GRACE KAYE, WIFE OF SIR RICHARD SALTONSTALL.

By A. H. Mickle Saltonstall.

As the ancestress of men who for four successive generations were conspicuous for the prominent part taken by them in the government of Massachusetts Bay Colony, and that of her sister colony, Connecticut, as well as for their patriotic efforts to protect and defend the rights and liberties of the colonists under their respective charters, Grace Kaye, the wife of Sir Richard Saltonstall, is of no small interest, if for nothing else than for the purpose of speculating upon how far the law of heredity was instrumental in her case in effecting and influencing the characteristic traits of her descendants, who, in the struggle beginning with the founding of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and ending in the establishing of American Independence, were pre-eminent in furthering the one, and perpetuating the other by services both legislative and military. The first of her paternal line of whom we have authentic record is William Kaye, vive 28 Edward I. In 1375 his grandson Laurence Kaye was designated " of Woodsome, County York," and in this manner were they known for more than three hundred years. Fourth in descent from this Laurence was George Kaye, who married Margaret, daughter of James Radcliffe of Langley, County Lancaster, a family of ancient lineage. In

1 5 17 their son, Arthur Kaye, married Beatrice, daughter of Matthew Wentworth of Bretton, County York. The issue of this marriage, John Kaye, vive 1585, married Dorothy, daughter of Robert Mauleverer of Wodersham, County York, and his wife Alice, daughter of Sir Ninian Maikenfield and his wife, Dorothy Gascoigne. By this marriage the family became allied to the most ancient and noble blood in England {vide Chart). Robert Kaye, vive 16 12, son of the above John, married Ann, daughter of John Flower of Whiteswell, County Rutland, and it was their daughter Grace who married, as his first wife and mother of all his children, Sir Richard Saltonstall of Huntwick, born 1586, son of Samuel Saltonstall of Rooks and Huntwick, England, by his first wife Ann, daughter of John Ramsden of Longley Hall, County York, who was eighth in descent from Thomas de Saltonstall of the West Riding in Yorkshire, who, in 1343, granted moieties of his estate to his sons John and Richard. On the 19th of March, 1627, a company of six gentlemen purchased Massachusetts Bay from the Plymouth Company, and Sir Richard Saltonstall, shortly after, became one of their associates. After Sir Henry Rosewell and Sir John Young, two of the original purchasers, his name appears next among the associates in the charter granted by Charles I., May 4, 1628. Bond, in his History of Watertown, says that " his name almost invariably stands at the head of the Assistants on the records of the Company." When the proposition of Governor Cradock to transfer the government of the Company from England to the Colony was to be argued at a General Court of the Company on the 29th of August, 1629, Sir Richard was named first of those who were designated to advocate the transfer.

England, December 1, 1629, the Company appointed five 'Undertakers,' among those about to go over, of whom Sir Richard Saltonstall was named next after the Governor." Early in April, 1630, Sir Richard, with his family and others of the Company, embarked at Yarmouth, Eng- land, on the Arabella, and reached Salem, Mass., June 12, 1630. On arriving at Charlestown, after leaving Salem, " this Company divided into two portions—one of which, with Sir Richard Saltonstall as their leader, went to plant Watertown." He some time after became, with Viscount

Say and Seal, Lord Brooke, and others, a patentee of Connecticut ; and remained always extremely solicitous of the Colony's welfare. When, therefore, on January 1, 1708, his great-grandson Gurdon Saltonstall was elected to the Governorship of the Colony, it was a coincidence remark-

ably appropriate ; serving likewise as an exemplification of the pangenetic hypothesis—as certain characteristic qualities and tendencies, begotten of a line of ancestors born to be rulers in the land, were in him repeated and evinced —a heritage descending to him through his ancestress Grace Kaye.

TEN BROOK FAMILY BIBLE.

Contributed by Victor H. Paltsits of the Lenox Library.

It is difficult to imagine what vast genealogical material lies buried in old Bibles. This sacred volume was long ago made the receptacle of family records. Its use as such was not inappropriate. The family,

making constant use of the household Bible, would ever have before it the record of its departed forefathers, and point with pride to those dead who had reached distinction or had lived a faithful and an honorable life. Many of these relics of the past lie hidden on library shelves, seldom to be disturbed from their repose, except indeed to receive their occa- sional or, it may be, their long-needed dusting. Many, no doubt, rest in the family cupboard, little used and less appreciated, until they are turned over with other " rubbish " to the junk dealer, and in turn by him sold to the paper-mill to be ground into pulp. Thus are many of the important family chronicles either kept from the genealogist or for- ever destroyed and lost. The Lenox Library contains the largest collection of Bibles in Amer- ica, if not the largest in the world. By the bequest of the "Robert L. Stuart Collection," the number of Bibles gathered by Mr. James Lenox, the founder, was considerably augmented. It is from a Stuart copy* that the following family record is taken. It is bound in two volumes. At the end of the second volume is a list of subscribers' names which contains those of Henry Ten Brook and John Ten Brook among the subscribers from " New York." The genealogy is written on the verso of the second leaf of signature LI of the Apocrypha, being that immediately preceding the New Testament title-page. The writing appears to be mostly, if not entirely, in the hand of one and the same person. l h i7 .

His third wife, married about 1824, was Catharine Scott, widow of Benjamin Loder. The name of John Schaneman, or Schuneman, appears as a private in the 4th company, Capt. John A. Whitbeek, nthN. Y.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY.

The annual meeting was held on the evening of Friday, January 12th, when Dr. Samuel S. Purple, Gen. James Grant Wilson, and Mr. Richard H. Greene were elected trustees of the Society, to serve for the ensuing three years. After the election, an interesting and scholarly address on "' The Apostle Eliot and his Indian Villages," was delivered by the Rev. Edward G. Porter, of Dorchester, Mass. In- connection with the address a number of photographs were shown, and also a copy of " Eliot's Indian Bible," and his " Indian Grammar." At the meeting of Febru- ary gth, Dr. Titus TVIunson Coan, a native and long a resident of the Sandwich " " Islands, gave a pleasant and instructive talk on Hawaii and the Hawaiians ; and on March gth, General James Grant Wilson read a well-written paper on "Gen. John A. Dix."

The following have been recently elected members of the Society : Theodore

Sutro, Henry G. Trevor, Miss Lucy D. Akerly, Dr. M. L. Bird, Alexander J. Reid, L. Coleman Williams, John T. Sill, William A. Kissam, George W. Cocks, Charles A. Greene, William M. Grinnell, Mrs. Mary W. Wootton, Mrs. William H.

THE QUARTER-CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY.

On the evening of the 27th of February, 1869, seven gentlemen met at the house of Dr. David Parsons Holton in New York City, and organized the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society. A certificate of incorporation was filed on —

qa Notes and Queries. [April, the 16th of March following, and meetings were held at the residence of Dr. William Frederick Holcombe until the 17th of July, when permanent quarters were obtained in Mott Memorial Hall, 64 Madison Avenue. Here the Society remained until the 1st of May, 188S, when it removed temporarily to the Berkeley Lyceum Building, No. 19 West Forty-fourth Street. On the 1st of January, 1S90, it took possession of its present rooms at No. 23 West Forty-fourth Street, where, with a large and valuable collection of books on genealogy, biography, and history, a constantly increasing list of life and resident members, and an invested building fund of over twenty-three thousand dollars, it is doing a useful and important work in the community. On Tuesday, February 27, 1894. it completed the twenty-fifth year of its existence, and the event was celebrated in an interesting and appropriate manner. In the afternoon a reception was held in the library, the room adjoining being also thrown open through the courtesy of the members of the Women's University Club. The committee having charge of the reception, and to whose faithful and energetic labor the pleasure and success of the occasion is due, was composed of the following ladies : Miss Elizabeth Clarkson Jay, Chairman, Miss Lucy D. Akerly, Mrs. Cath- erine R. Baetjer, Mrs. Charles Avery Doremus, Mrs. Cornelia C. J. Dyer, Mrs. Ferdinand P. Earle, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, Mrs. Henry Herrman, Mrs. James M. Lawton, Mrs. De Witt Clinton Mather, Miss Margaret Morris Norwood, Mrs. Thomas J. Owen, Miss Mary Close Purple, Mrs. Sylvanus Reed, Mrs. John Stanton, Mrs. Martha B. Stevens, Miss Bessie Thayer Sypher, Mrs. Gamaliel C. St. John, Mrs. Lucas E. Schoonmaker, Mrs. Howard Townsend, Miss Mary Mildred Williams, Mrs. Ellen Hardin Walworth, Mrs. William Hopkins Young and Mrs. Katherine di Zerega. In the evening a meeting was held in the Berkeley Lyceum Theatre which was largely attended. After a prayer by the Rev. Dr. Talbot W. Chambers, senior pastor of the Collegiate Reformed Church, Dr. Samuel S. Purple, the first Vice-President, gave a historical sketch of the Society. A letter from Dr. Henry R. Stiles, the first President of the Society, who is now living in London. England, was read by Mr. Richard H. Greene, the Secretary of the Celebration Committee, and short speeches were made by ex-Presidents Edward F. de Lancey, General George S. Greene and Henry T. Drowne. An eloquent address followed from Judge Alphonzo T. Clearwater of Kingston, N. Y., on " The Debt we owe to our Dutch and Huguenot Ancestors," after which the Anniversary Address was delivered by General Augustus W. Greely, who-e exploits in Arctic exploration have made his name known and honored throughout the scientific world. The exercises were enlivened by music from Stub's orchestra. Handsomely printed invitations (for the beauty and good taste of which great credit is due to Mr. T. A. Wright of the sub-committee on printing) were sent to many historical, genealogical and kindred societies throughout the country, and representatives of a number of these societies occupied seats upon the stage. Both the afternoon reception and the evening meeting were exceedingly pleasant and interesting, and the Society has reason to congratulate itself on a most successful celebration of its twenty-fifth anniversary. It is proposed to publish a volume containing a full account of the proceedings, together with the addresses delivered and other data relating to the Society. Copies of this volume will be sent to the members.

NOTES AND QUERIES.

Moore. — [The following letter, received by Mr. Henry T. Drowne, is published at the request of the Board of Trustees of the Society. Pub. Com. \

71 Hornsey Rise, N., London, N. Y. December 30, 1893.

My dear Mr. Drowne : Your card of 15th, communicating to me the news of the death of our old and esteemed friend Mr. Charles B. Moore, is at hand, and I take the first opportunity of expressing to you and my other friends of the N. Y. Genealogical and Biographical Society my deep sense of the loss which we have sustained in his death. Notes and Queries. 1894-] 95

Mr. Moore was one of the earliest of those who rallied to the support of the Society, shortly after its establishment in 1869 ; he was one of its most interested and punctu- ally attending members— even to his latest days ; and he was the one, perhaps, who was most particularly fond of genealogical record for its own sake, among us. His early training as a lawyer seemed to have given him a special bias towards genea- " logical investigations : he had a curious faculty for what I called underground rum- maging—that is, the following, with a keen scent, of certain lines of evidence, quite unobservable toothers, which would finally turn up, in the most unexpected quarters, as facts, or at least as very strong links of presumptive evidence. In every fiber of his being he was a and (1) Long Islander, (2) a New Yorker ; and thus State and island enlisted all his interest as fields of labor. And his intimate acquaintance with the island, its old families, traditions, civil and religious history, etc., etc., combined with his legal training and mental acumen, gave him a wonderful advantage in his genealogical labors. Almost contemporaneously with his joining the Society—possibly before that date—he inaugurated a work which was to be, I think, to New York and Long Island genealogy, what Judge Savage's Genealogical Dictionary is to New England. It was to be at once a dictionary and an index to the biography and genealogy of the State of New York. He invited cooperation, and the Society has always maintained a committee to cooperate with him in this great work. But the work was so vast in its plan and ramifications, and planned on lines so essentially peculiar to Mr. Moore's own individuality, that these committees generally found that there was but little cooperation needed, except to give that moral support which every diligent student in such quarries always likes to have behind him, and so this great work in MSS., which I believe is to become the property of the Society, will remain to us as an evidence and a monument of the donor's own labors and individuality. Knowing its character, as I do, from personal observation, I congratulate the Society upon its possession—avast thesaurus from which the student of New York history may draw in years to come. Mr. Moore was a man of peculiar ways and modes of thought. He was, perhaps,

somewhat crotchety ; his likes and dislikes strongly pronounced; but those who knew him best knew that he had a most kindly (even a tender) heart, and a disposition of helpfulness to all with whom he came in contact. Of his standing as a lawyer, others

can speak better than I can ; but I fancy, from what I knew of him, that he was strongest in the looking up of evidence and in the matter of sound advice.

We shall miss his venerable form at our meetings around our library table ; the white locks, the keen eyes looking half-humorously over his glasses, the thin lips bearing the faint indication of a cynical smile; we shall miss his curt sentences and his sometimes fiery retort to any fancied aspersions upon his beloved Long Island.

His papers read before us were always full of sound sense ; full of recondite clues

to "possible links" of evidence ; full of abiding faith in a God in history. He was singular else since the Nestor among us ; a man of modesty— he would long have occupied our presidential chair—a man looked up to among us, and whose absence henceforth makes some of us feel ourselves older than before. Always interested in interesting others in the objects of our Society, his last work of love to us seems to have been the securing for our Society the valuable bequest received from the late Mrs. Coles. His influence, so unobtrusively yet effectually exercised in this matter, as on many previous occasions, must ever be a pleasant remembrance to us— the fitting closing act of a good life well and usefully spent. Be pleased, my dear friend, to convey to the Society and my former associates of the earlier days of our organization my sincere sympathy with them in this our common loss, and believe me, sir, Yours truly, HENRY R. STILES.

Provoost. —Can the readers of The Record inform me as to " Samuel Prevoost, young man born and lived in New York," who married, March 2, 1722, " Maritie Meyyers (should be Myer), young daughter born and lived in Ackinsack," Hacken- ensack, N. J. ? (Pub. Holland Society, Record of Hackensack Dutch Reformed Church, vol. i. part i. p. 44.) She was a daughter of Jan (Johannes) Myer; he was baptized June 12, 1667, in New York City ; he married Jannetie (Cornelise) Banta, of Hackensack, N. J. He was son of Marten Janszen Mijer ( = Myer), of Elsvliet, Holland, who was in America before 1654, and was one of the schepens of Amersfoort, Long Island, for several years. He was married in Dutch Reformed Church in the Fort at New Amsterdam, October 2S, 1662, to Hendrickje Hermans, of Amsterdam, Holland. On February 6, 1721, Johannes Myer and Jannetie his wife for ,£150 sold their house and land in Hackensack, on right-hand side of the present Old Dutch Reformed Church, to William Provoost, of the city of New York, merchant. Deed acknowledged before David Provoost, Esq., one of his Majesty's justices of the peace for the county of Bergen, N. J. This was nearly one year previous to Samuel's marriage. 1734. June 30. Samuel Piovoost and wife (under name of Brevoort) are witnesses in said Hackensack Church at baptism of " child of Johannes Labag and Rachel Meyer." She was a sister of Jannetie (his wife). 1738.

Gerrit Van Horn was a witness to will of Johannes Myer. Have examined Mr. Purple's Genealogy of the Provoost Family, but cannot find any Samuel Provoost that fits this Samuel. I am satisfied that the name was Provoost and not Brevoort. 1 find on the baptismal register of Kingston church, Ulster County, t N. Y., p. 26, No. 474 : s6, July 11, baptized Samuel, child of Benjamin Provoost and Elsje Alberts, but he does not appear to be the one I am after.

Carpenter. —The following is extracted from MS. records in the office of the

Secretary of State at Albany, and may be of interest to the readers of the Record ;

On Dec. 4, 1721, the following petition .was sent to Governor William Burnett : " The humble Petition of Joseph Carpenter and Job Wright Inhabitants within the county of Westchester in behalf of themselves and nine others of the new settlers back in the woods between Rye and Bedford showeth that your petitioners about three years ago having with sixteen others purchased from Capt. Robert Walter and company a tract of land contiguous in the back of Rye and within the limit of said town- ship, have at their own very great cost and expense and labors settled themselves thereon, and by their industry and number, they being upwards than Thirty able men, tho' poor, cultivated and improved the same for the subsistence and livelyhood of themselves and their families—a thing very hard to perform by new settlers," etc.. etc. The balance of the petition, a very long document, recites the high rate of their taxes, which they think have been unjustly levied upon them by the authorities of Rye. " We can easily believe they were " poor," for by tradition they " bonded their town in order to buy a grindstone; but if they had only told us the names of the nine, sixteen, and thirty others we would have liked it. But perhaps the following will give a little information on that point and also show their " Temperance proclivities." Robert Carpenter, William Dusinberre, henery Dusinberre, Richard Wooley, Reuben Kallam, david Siebe, Robert Knowlton, Jacob Forman, Joseph Sails, Joseph Fowler, and Richard Honeywell send a petition to Gov. George Clarke requesting him to remove Francis Pellem from his position of Justice of the Peace, they stating that he was a very violent man, oppressing the poor, and much given to drink, of which " his favorite toddy is Punch." (Petition dated 1722.) Besides the above there is a petition for a ferry to Long Island, dated 173S, signed by Joseph Carpenter and John Patting. But the result of these three petitions does not appear on record. DANIEL H. CARPENTER.

Schureman, Schuurman, Thomson. — I wish to have help in tracing these persons in their last days. Ferdinand Schureman, born about 1731, was one of the freeholders of Middlesex County, who met at New Brunswick, N. j., January 3, 1775, and was chosen as one of the Committee of Observation and Inspection for New Brunswick, who should meet with the others at New Brunswick, January 16th, to choose a committee of correspondence for a limited lime. Eleanor Voorhees was received to church membership at New Brunswick, June 28, 1782, as his widow. She died July 29, 1S09, and her tombstone is in the yard of the First Dutch Church, N. P.. The conjecture is natural that, during the British occupation of New Brunswick, Ferdinand died and was buried elsewhere. Antje (De Riemer) Stryker Schuurman, baptized in New York. October 4, 1721, his November and was wife of Peter Stryker, say 174T-49 , "wedenwe" 9, 1750; wife of John Schuurman, February, 1751-July 6, 1795, when he died. Her daughter g8 Notes and Queries. [April,

Jane, by her first husband, married John Thomson, Captain, and about 179S they removed to the State of New York, through fellowship with their son-in-law, Rev. Conrad Ten Eyck, who had married their daughter Jane Thomson. For a time they were at Aal Plaats (Eel Place), near Schenectady—a hamlet which I have been unable to identify. Afterwards Captain Thomson was located two miles from Fonda's

Bosch, say at what is now called Broadalbin (formerly Broadalbane ?). The widow Schuurman seems to have gone with them. The two Thomsons and Mrs. Schuur- the man were members of church at New Brunswick, May 1, 1794 ; opposite the name for the latter is the sign for "removed." I have tried in vain to find their church membership in the State of New York. richard wynkoop.

An Old Print. — "A Draught of an Engagement between Guardaloupe & Grand- e terre on the 12th Nov r . 1746 between y Brig Greyhound of New York Rich. Jeffrey, e Comr. of 14 Guns & 92 Men & y La Fleury a French Ship of 22 Guns & 84 Men & a n French Privateer Sloop of 14 Guns & 1 30 Men Wherein Capt . Jeffrey & Company, Behaved very Gallantly & after an Engagement of 5 hours oblidg'd the Privateer to e Sheer off & took y Ship." The above is an inscription on an old print, commemorating a naval engagement which was considered such a remarkable victory, that the print, representing the ships in action, was struck off and a copy presented to each officer of the victorious vessel.

One of my ancestors was a surgeon on board the Greyhound, and 1 am desirous of

finding some record or account of the engagement. Is anything known concerning it ? YVM. W. CONWAY.

Van Tienhoven. — Dr. O'Callahan, in his " History of New Netherland," vol. ii, p. 322 {note), referring to the family of Lucas Van Tienhoven, of New York, surgeon, who died A.D. 1714, says that " he married Katharine Man, by whom he had six children." There is an error in this statement. Katharine Man was his second wife. The baptismal records of the Dutch Church show that the mother of eight of the ten children of Dr. Van Tienhoven was his first wife, " Tryntie Bording," who was living as late as the year 1695, she and her husband appearing in that year as witnesses at several baptisms. It seems that she was also the mother of his two children not mentioned in the list of baptisms, but whose names (Nicholas and Susanna) are given in his will.

Meyer. —Who were the parents of Andrew Meyer, who married Margaret Demo- ree, D. C, N. Y., January 18, 1774? There are recorded in Dutch Church, N. Y., the following Andries Meyers: Andries, son of Andries Meyer, Jr., and Susanna McFeddericks, baptized April 23, 1740. Andries, son of Cornells Meyer and Sara Sprong, baptized October 29, 1746.

BOOK NOTICES.

Burhans Genealogy. Descendants from the First Ancestor in America, Jacob Burhans, 1660, and his son Jan Burhans, 1663, to 1893. Compiled by SAMUEL BURHANS, Jr., Trustee of the New York Genealogical and Biographical

Society, etc. New York : Printed for Private Circulation, 1894. Royal Svo, pp. vi + 799, with illustrations. The compiler of a family history who starts out with Dutch, -Huguenot, and English blood in his veins soon finds that the task he has undertaken is not an easy one but is beset with many obstacles. Hence we hail with eager praise the production of a work like the one before us. The making of similar ones is not common, although the signs of the times indicate that the harvest is promising. The date of birth and place of residence of the founder of the Burhans family has not been determined. Jacob Burhans and his son Jan were the first ancestors of the family in America. It appears that the first named came out as a soldier in the employ of Gov. Stuyvesant previous to 1660, and that his son Jan came out in the ship Bontecce in the spring of 1663. Jacob Burhans in December 1660 became one of the constituting members of the Dutch Church in Wiltwyck, now Kingston, N. Y. His son Jan was admitted a member of the same church, 3d July, 1664. He married Helena Traphagan, and their eldest child was fanneke, who married, 12th October, 1697, Pieter Du Bois, a son of Jaques Du Bois and Pierone Bentyn. Barent Burhans was the eldest son of Jan Burhans who reached majority. He was baptized in the Dutch Church in Kingston,

24th April, 168 1, and married in same place Margariet Jans Matthyssen Blanchan (Blanchard). From this time the descent of this large and important family is carefully traced to the present day. An important feature of this elaborate work is the care with which the female branches are traced through two or more generations. Beside the Burhans family, materials more or less full are found of the following families—viz. : Ackerman, Adriance, Allen, Auchmoody, Avery, Barker, Baily, Baldwin, Barnes, Bassett, Beadle, Becker, Beekman, Benedict, Benjamin, Bennett, Betts, Bishop, Blanshan, Blodgett, Bouck, Bouton, Bradly, Brandt, Brenk, Brooks, Brown, Bush, Butler, Carle, Cashdollar, Chase, Chrysler, Clark, Clearwater, Clum, Colby, Cole, Conklin, Connelly, Cook, Coon, Crispel, Davis, Dayton, Decker, Dederick, Delamater, Delanoy.

Some of. .the Ancestors of Rodman Stoddard of Woodbury, Conn., and Detroit, Mich. A Compilation by Edward Deacon, of the Fairfield County Historical Society, Bridgeport, Conn.; Stiles & Tucker. 1893.

In this little pamphlet of 86 pages Mr. Deacon has traced the ancestry of his wife's father, Rodman Stoddard, in several lines to the first American ancestry. The very interesting and full account of Anthony Stoddard, the first settler of that name in this country, from the time of his arrival here in 1638-9 throughout his life in Boston, shows much labor and a very thorough search of the early records. Anthony Stoddard married Mary Downing, who was a niece by marriage of Governor John Winthrop, the founder of Boston. It was. undoubtedly through this connection that Anthony Stoddard became so prominent in the early history of Boston. Among the many offices which he held was that of representative to the General Court, being elected to that office for twenty years successively, a distinction which the compiler states no other person since then has achieved. An interesting illustration of the tendency of certain families and their connections to pursue the same calling or profession is shown on a chart which Mr. Deacon has prepared. In the generation of Anthony Stoddard and two of his connections by marriage, and the two succeeding generations of their children and grandchildren we find this unusually large number of eminent divines of New England : Rev. John Cotton, Rev. Richard Mather, Rev. John Wareham, Rev. Increase Mather, Rev. Eleazar Mather, Rev. Solomon Stoddard, Rev. Cotton Mather, Rev. Wareham Mather and Rev. Anthony Stoddard. Besides that of Stoddard short accounts are given of other families whose first settlers were respectively Governor Thomas Welles. Israel Curtis of Southbury, Conn., Robert Walker of Boston, William Judson of Concord, Mass., Governor John Winthrop, Emmanuel Downing of Ipswich. A pedigree chart at the end of the pamphlet shows very clearly and concisely the descent, in their several lines from Anthony Stoddard, of Rodman Stoddard and such well-known men as Aaron Burr, Governor William Woodbridge of Michigan and General William Tecumsch Sherman. The plan adopted in this work, of tracing to an individual his different lines of descent from the first American ancestors, is a branch of genealogical research to

which more attention is constantly being given ; and though necessarily more difficult and requiring more wide-spread investigation than the old plan of carrying down the different lines of descent from a first settler to the various individuals having his 1894-] Book Notices. 101 blood, still it is of vastly more importance to the individual. This pamphlet of Mi Deacon's is a valuable addition to this branch of genealogy.

Noah Porter, A Memorial by Friends. Edited by George S. Merriam.

With portraits. New York : Charles Scribner's Sons, 1893. 'Svo, cloth, pp. 306.

No Yale student of the early '70's can ever forget the thrill of sorrow and of delight that went through the college when it was announced that President Woolsey had resigned, and that he was to be succeeded in the curule chair by Noah Porter ; sorrow that the venerable form and kindly face of dear old " Prexie " would no longer lie seen in the college pulpit at morning prayers, and delight that Dr. Porter had received a well-earned and well-deserved promotion. For Dr. Porter was loved at old Yale, and every undergraduate, from lordly senior to humble freshman, knew that behind what sometimes seemed an austerity of manner was " a mild ami healing sympathy that stole away the sadness " of marks and flunks. And no one who sat under his teaching can ever forget the genial twinkle in his eyes when, in the class in " Moral Ethics, he propounded his favorite conundrum and its answer : What is mind? No matter. What is matter ? Nevermind." The book before us is a loving tribute to his memory, written by those who knew him best. His sister, his brother, his college class-mate, his associate in the faculty, his companion in mountain tramps, his appreciator of one and of another side of his many-sided nature tell of him as boy. as man. as student, as instructor, as theologian, as friend — the result being a full and complete picture of the perfect man. The key- " note of his character is struck by President Carter when he says : He saw so much good in men, and was so desirous that that good should have fullscope, that it may be safely assumed that the constant demands on his time and assistance were met with much greater ease and exhausted him far less, than if his kindness and love for men had been a superficial thing. It was not superficial, but controlled and quickened the depth of his nature." The book contains two portraits, an excellent photogravure as a frontispiece, showing him as he looked in the later years of his life, and another from a photograph taken in 1S06. It is a volume which every Yale man should have on his reading-table. T G. E.

This book is illustrated by 34 photo-engraved portraits, three views, a map and fac-similes. On the back is simply " Family Genealogy ;" this might answer in some places, but conveys little information in a volume containing 563 family genealogies. There are in this book genealogies and pedigrees of the following families: Allison, Abbott, Badeau, Baldwin, Barlow, P.etts, Chase, Coe, Eels, Frost, Goddard, Green, Gurnee, Hendrie, Hyatt, Ireland, Lockwood, Loutrel, Marvin, Osborn, Palmer, Peck, Pine, Robertson, Wallace, Wilkinson, Wise and Wright. There is a good index of 36 pages, double column. The generations are sometimes shown by index figure, but figures are omitted as designations of individuals, and we think this an unfortunate omission, for there is no easier way to trace a line than by the addition of a figure at the first appearance and each recurrence of the name. This work shows great industry and will be justly valued. k. h. g. 102 Book Xolices. [April,

Materials for a History of the Family of John Sullivan of Berwick, New England, and of the O'Sullivan of Ardea, Ireland. Chiefly collected late by the Thomas Coffin Amory. With a pedigree of O'Sullivan Beare, by Sir J.

Bernard Burke, C.B., LL.D., Ulster. Printed for private distribution. Cambridge : John Wilson and Son, University Press, 1893. 8vo, 6i x 9+ pp. 154, xx.

This collection consists of a list of publications by Thos. C. Amory, on the subject of the Sullivan family, a chronological list of the documents printed or noticed, filling eleven pages ; then follows the narrative and documents, comprising letters with enclosures, copies of bills, accounts, advertisements, and monumental inscriptions, which together make Part I., In New England, sixty pages. Part II., In Ireland, includes the pedigree of O'Sullivan Beare, on a folding map, by Sir J. B. Burke, with an analysis or series of notes. In tables across double pages, from 149 to 154, is the genealogy of John Sullivan, born 1690, Limerick, and his six children: John, the well-remembered major-general in our Revolution ; Daniel and Ebenezer, captains in the same struggle ; Benjamin the eldest, who was lost at sea in the British navy that left before war, and no family ; Mary, wife of Theophilus Hardy; and James who achieved distinction as a judge and afterwards as governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Truly a family worthy to be chronicled. The descendants of each are carried through three generations. It is printed with the taste which is always shown by the University Press, and is illustrated with arms, seal and map. It would have been improved in the arrangement of the tables, with which it concludes, if the break between the pages had been fixed at the divis- ions between generations, or if there had been no appearance of division, and each table had appeared as a single map. There is no index. k. H. G. y Genealogy of the Cutts Family in America, Compiled by Cecil Hampden Cutts Howard. Albany, N. Y.: Joel Munsell's Sons, Publishers, 1892.

This beautifully printed volume is an important and welcome contribution to genealogical literature. The author has done his work conamore, and it is well done. William Cutts, who was taxed in Saco, Me., in 1640, appears to have been the earliest of the name in New England. The Genealogy, however, concerns itself chiefly with the descendants of John, Richard and Robert Cutis, known positively to have been brothers, and Ann Cutts, their sister. John Cutts is mentioned in the Records of Portsmouth, N. II., as early as 1657. John Cutts, Jr., his nephew, also has his descendants accounted for. Mr. Howard had the inspiration of some very worthy New England names in writing of the connection of his ancestors with the families of Penhallow, Vaughn, Pepperell, Atkinson, Gerrish, Sparhawk, Appleton and others. The text is supplemented by many interesting portraits and a goodly exhibition of autograph signatures ; there is, however, a notable absence of heraldic illustrations, which could doubtless have been added when we consider the distinguished positions of the families whose history the author has related. There is nothing apocryphal about the Cutts genealogy. It is frankly stated that the descent of the American ancestor from the English stock has not been traced, and we are also spared the recital of that too familiar and mythical story concerning the first of the name who came into England with the Conqueror. The general arrangement of the material is excellent, and four copious indexes place the contents of the volume within easy reach of the hurried reader who may be in search of particular information.

The Dolbeare Family. A Few Facts relating to the Origin and History of John Dolbeare of Boston and some of his descendants. Cloth, pp. 32 iv.

This pleasing book does not claim to be a genealogy, pure and simple, but is exactly what is stated in the modest title. The author, Mr. Arthur Dimon Osborne, of New Haven, in a letter to the writer, states that only a few copies were printed for the family, some of which are without the illustrations. This copy has, in addition to the arms, two portraits, photograph of a brass rubbing, and crests from family silver, the tables of lineal descent inserted, showing ancestral lines from Richard Osbrone,

In a short preface, after acknowledgments and statement regarding the photograph of. rubbing from the brass of Sir Richard, and extracts from records of Hereford Cathe-

dral, he says : "I had intended to include in the account a statement of all the descendants of George Dolbeare, but to make it complete and satisfactory would require more time and labor than I can devote to it." He has done well, let another do the rest. r. h. g.

Washington at Tarrytown. A paper read before the Tarrytown Historical Society, by Marcus D. Raymond, Tuesday evening, December 16, 1890. Published by the author by request, Tarrytown, X. Y.. 1893. Svo, cloth, pp. 28.

This interesting account of Washington's doings in our neighboring town cannot fail to be interesting. Washington was in this region in the summer of 1776. The theatre of the war after the fall of Fort Washington was transferred to New Jersey, and the North and East which had borne the brunt at the start were relieved from much actual conflict, except when Burgoyne came down from the North and Clinton moved up from his quarters in the city as far as Kingston, but not far enough to save the army which had hoped to cut the colonies in two. Washington himself returned to this neighborhood in 17S1, when the war was substantially over. His last visit was just before the Evacuation in November, 17S3, when he was accompanied by many of the prominent men of the day. Altogether this little volume is very acceptable. R. H. G.

The title leaves little to add about the contents of this book.

Afterwards he became one of the settlers of Nuffield, now Londonderry, N. H.

The SHARPES. Published monthly by W. C. Sharpe, Seymour, Conn. Price % 1 per year. " This is an enterprising little periodical whose motto might be : When found make a note of." It was begun in January, 1893, and is designed as a storehouse for such genealogical material relating to the Sharpe family as may come into the editor's hands from time to time. He is thus enabled to put into print many interesting facts without the delay inseparable from the publication of the conventional genealogy. The project of issuing a monthly magazine in the interest of a particular family is certainly a most excellent one and worthy of emulation. In this way valuable facts are at once embalmed in print and saved from destruction. Mr. Sharpe intimates that he has not had the support he had hoped for from those who should be most interested, but doubtless when his periodical becomes better known the subscription list will increase.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF CHARLES B. MOORE.

By Epher Whitakek, D.D.

There are some possessions which no man can acquire as the object of his own desire and choice. They may surpass in worth and excellence the fruits of his most persistent and assiduous toil. They are richer than gold, more precious than rubies, more enduring and indestructible than any treasures of houses and lands upon earth. They come to a man by inheritance. They rest upon the virtues of his ancestors. He may prize them greatly and profit by them, or he may treat them lightly and disregard them ; but he cannot forego them, nor essentially change them. They bear the stamp impressed upon them by the character and life of preceding generations. These possessions are fundamental. One may build upon them, as the noblest structures of architectural genius and skill are reared upon foundations laid deeply below the surface of the ground. The grandest and loftiest cathedrals must conform to the lines and spring up from the immovable courses of the base. One may build a superstructure high or low, beautiful or ungainly. It may be constructed of the richest or the meanest materials, the finest marble or the coarsest stone, but on its own foundation it must rest.

So it is with the basis of every man's life. No one can choose the conditions of his own birth, nor determine whether he shall be in nature Greek or Roman, Briton or American, born in lofty or lowly place. He must begin his course with what results from the condition and deeds of his ancestors.

All this is, of course, well understood by genealogists. There is no need of enlargement. To Charles B. Moore these fundamental and substantial possessions came in large measure and excellence of quality. As he was among the earliest members and officers of the New York Biographical and Genealogical Society, so his pedigree was almost the first to be presented for registration on its bocks. (See New York Bio- graphical and Genealogical Record, vol. i., No. 1, p. 2.) His earliest ancestors in America came from the western shore of the North Sea, from Suffolk County, England. They made their permanent home in the New World at the east end of Long Island, in Suffolk County, New York. The name of their Long Island town, Southold, as well as that of their county, Suffolk, came from their English home. Thomas Moore, born in England about 16 15, was the first of the family to establish himself in Southold. It was before 1636 that he took 106 Biographical Sketch of Charles B. Moore. [July, for his wife Martha Youngs, daughter of the Rev. Christopher Youngs, vicar of Reydon, Suffolk County, England. The chapel in Southwold was then attached to St. Margaret's of Reydon, and at Southwold, July i, 1613, Martha Youngs was baptized. She came with her husband and his mother, Ann Moore, to Salem, New England, as early as 1636. Subse- quently both husband and wife and some of her kindred removed to Southold, Long Island. She lived thereuntil 1671 or later. This removal to Long Island was probably in 1651. (See New York Biographical and Genealogical Record, vol. xv., No. 2, pp. 57-67.) From that date until his death, forty years later, Thomas Moore was one of the fore- most citizens of Southold, intelligent, venturesome, enterprising, prosperous, and in full communion with the church. His concern in the ownership and freighting of vessels, and perhaps in sailing them, caused him to be sometimes called mariner. But, however deeply interested in his ventures upon the sea, he took good care to increase his possessions upon the land. On the tax list of 1675 he and his sons stand for more than ..any other man and his sons in the town except one. His homestead in the village is a beautiful site, and his home lot of six acres is bounded on the east by the town creek, which was in his day navigable for sea-going ships. Seven years after his settlement in Southold he had gained so high a standing among his intelligent and enterprising fellow-citizens that he was chosen one of the two representatives of the town in the General Court for the jurisdiction, the New Haven colony, to which Southold belonged from 1640 to 1662. Mr. Moore, in 1659, purchased the house and home lot of the famous Capt. John Underhill, the professional soldier and skilful fighter of In- dians. Capt. Underbill's first wife died in Southold while his home was in that place. Part of his home lot in the centre of the village is now covered by the Southold Savings Bank. Three years after the purchase from Underhill, Mr. Moore conveyed this property to his son, Thomas Moore, Jr. In 1662 he became the owner of a large tract of land bordering on Long Island Sound. This fine estate is northwest of the present village of Greenport and adjacent to it. The place continues in the ownership and possession of the family. It has been the homestead for the last hundred and sixty years. It is now owned by the children and a younger brother of Charles B. Moore. It extends along the Sound on the north, and later additions on the south border the shore of the strait that here connects Gardiner's and Peconic Bays. The land is sufficiently level and fertile for culture and fine adornment ; and noble trees—oaks, hick- ories, locusts, and others—grow spontaneously. From the dwelling house the eye looks towards the main and surveys the waters of the Sound with the vessels of travel and of traffic thereon. The picture changes unceasingly. Beyond this large body of water, villages on the Connecti- cut shore are visible by day, and light-houses shine there at night. These are also seen in other directions. Eastward one beholds the villages of East Marion and Orient, with Plum Island, Gull Islands, and Fisher's Island farther away. Under the noonday sun Shelter Island reposes in grace and beauty. Greenport flourishes near at hand. Toward the southwest, beyond the charming Peconic, which reflects the sky, a long outline of the Hamptons is the bound of vision. It was in the midst of these various scenes of land and water, with 1894.] Biographical Sketch of Charles B. Moore. jo7

their manifold promptings of wide thought, deep emotion, and pure sentiments, that Charles B. Moore well improved the advantages of his boyhood and youth. This place was conveyed in 1687-88, by the founder of the family, to his grandson Thomas. He had previously made conveyances of lands to his sons Thomas, Nathaniel, and Benjamin, in order to increase their responsibility and their good standing among their fellow townsmen. The official records of his day, made in Southold, Southampton, and other places, show many entries which attest Thomas Moore's enterprise by sea and land ; his good standing in the church ; his prominence in

public affairs ; and his ability to prosper. After the capture of New York by the Dutch in 1673, they desired to make all Long Island obey them, and attempted to make Thomas Moore a magistrate of Southold. Many in the city doubtless knew him well. But he refused the office, even though a worthy selection of commissioners were sent to Southold and entered Mr. Moore's house for the purpose of gaining his acceptance. In 1683, being a chief officer of the town, he was one of a committee to choose a member of the first Legislative Assem- bly of the Province of New York. He died in 1691.

The later ancestors of Charles B. Moore were fit successors of the founder of the family in America. The pedigree is registered, and it is needless now to adduce the whole line in this place. The father of Charles B. Moore was Colonel Jeremiah Moore, a prominent citizen of the town, eminent for his social virtues, his genial influence, and his sturdy uprightness. Mr. Moore's mother was Julia (Brush) Moore, a native of Smithtown, Long Island. She survived her husband, and finished her beautiful and beneficent course on the 29th of August, 1873, in her ninety-second year. She was the mother of three sons and three daughters. The eldest daughter, Frances Maria, the widow of the Reverend William Huntting, resides at the homestead of her ancestors. The other daughters, Mary Adeline and Julia Brush, with the second son, Jeremiah, continued to reside there until the end of their days, each at an age exceeding seventy years. The youngest son, William H. Helme Moore, has resided for fifty years in the city of New York. Mrs. Moore was a descendant of the Reverend George Phillips of Brookhaven, Long Island, who was a son of the Reverend Samuel Phillips, a graduate of Harvard College in 1650, and thenceforth the pastor of Rowley, Massachusetts, until his death in 1695. Samuel's father was the Reverend George Phillips, who, with Sir Richard Saltonstall and others, founded Watertown,. Massachusetts, in 1630, and continued to be the minister thereof until his death. Mrs. Moore manifested earnest religious devotion, with sincere kindness and dignity of person and manner. Her mental powers were vigorous , and she was efficient in .the activities becoming her sex and station in life. She made order, comfort, and refinement abide in her home. She commanded the respect and affection of her children. She also made sure of the obedience and good will of her servants. Thus she made her life a boon to the place of her residence, and a source of strength and joy to the Christian church, whose communion she shared and prized. Even after she had numbered fourscore years the goodness of her inmost spiritual life gave a charming beauty to her countenance. Moses, the man of God, prayed for the beauty ol the

Lord. Mrs. Moore possessed it. The subject of this memoir made his Biographical Sketch Charles Io8 of B. Moore. [J u b'> visits to her until her latest hour. The mother and the son were worthy of each other. The latter was born December 2, 1808, and lived in his infancy and boyhood on the homestead of his ancestors. The teachers of his boyhood were more than ordinarily fitted for their duty. His father cultivated a large farm, and was an inventor of machines. This son acquired the knowledge to be gained on a farm, and shared his father's inclination toward mechanics and machinery. At Sterling, now Greenport, half the male inhabitants were seafaring men. The youth made the acquaintance of the perils and productions of the sea, and became familiar with the language and the habits of seamen. All this knowledge was subsequently well used. The war with Great Britain, in 18 12-15, had its effect upon him. His father was the highest officer of the militia regiment which guarded a wide district open to incursions from British warships. His household guard, and his armed and mounted messengers, were daily before the eyes of his son. It was the father's chief duty to prevent the seizure of supplies, or the voluntary sale of them. The landing of a torpedo near his home, and the attendant hostilities on land and water which the lad witnessed, were all vividly impressed upon his memory. As boyhood advanced he went for study to Smithtown, and, residing with his grandmother Brush, he studied the Latin language under the direction of Dr. Charles R. Havens, then clerk of Suffolk County, whom he assisted in the duties of the office. The county records of 1822 are partly in the handwriting of the young assistant. At the close of this year he made his first visit to New York—from Smithtown to Brooklyn by stage, and from Brooklyn to New York by horseboat. Above Chatham Square and Canal Street the land was generally inclosed and cultivated. He attended the Christmas services in St. George's Church, Beekman Street, the first Episcopal church he ever entered. He was interested in the music which he heard in this and other churches. On his return home he continued his classical studies in 1823 and 1824, in Southold, under the Rev. Jonathan Huntting, a graduate of Yale, the pastor of the Southold church of his ancestors, and in company with the pastor's son, William Huntting. The principal lawyer of Southold, Thomas Storrs Lester, was his father's cousin and military adjutant. The early death and large funeral of this active and noted man were very impressive. Ourc'assical student lived with his great-aunt, Mr. Lester's mother, part of the time that he studied in Southold. She became to him a venerable historic character, and half a century later he deemed her reminiscences as valuable as the dim histories of Greece and Rome, which he tried to master in a foreign language. In June, 1825, ne went to New York, and entered the office of Major James Fairlie, clerk of the Supreme Court of that city, and continued there for several 5 ears. The records of the office attest his industry. The clerk had been a Revolutionary officer, an alderman, a legislator, and a member of the constitutional convention of 182 1. He was a very exact

and careful officer ; and under this stern disciplinarian his young amanu- ensis and assistant, in spite of natural bash fulness and timidity, acquired fearlessness in transacting business, and the habit of accuracy, excellent qualities for any man. 1894-] Biographical Sketch Charles B. Moore. of i q

He determined to study law, and commenced his clerkship with Peter Dempsey, Esq., who was the deputy clerk under Major Fairiie. As the deputy often took the principal's place, so the young clerk often acted for the deputy. Thus the student, had many an opportunity of hearing Thomas A. Emmet, Dudley Selden, David Graham, and other famous orators at the bar. Mr. Dempsey soon authorized Mr. Moore to sign both the deputy's and the principal's names to official documents. Mr. Moore wisely refrained from the use of this authority except in cases of emergency. Thus no fault was found with the sub-deputy. In those years Mr. Moore saw many interesting persons at the City

Hall : Revolutionary heroes, General La Fayette, President Monroe, and

Presidents succeeding him Judge Egbert Benson ; Governors De Witt ; Clinton, Daniel D. Tompkins, C. Yates, and Morgan Joseph Lewis ; Senator C. D. Colden, and many others. These persons taught the young man the difference between the private conduct of public men and their popular reputation. He completed his legal studies in the office of Wil- liam H. Harison, Esq., afterwards controller of Trinity Church. Mr. Harison was a son of the more noted lawyer, Richard Harison. He had his father's excellent collection of books. The student had a fine opportunity to learn from books. He was also introduced to good company. He coveted both advantages and improved them. He acquired no bad habits, but cultivated his taste for reading solid old authors. He saw something of the venerable Richard Harison, who was distinguished for ability, learning, and probity, and who resided in the country near the present Thirty-second Street, on an eminence commanding a fine view of the North River. This eminent man died in December, 1829, and the monument to his memory, inside the walls of old Trinity, bears a classical inscription selected by his friend, Clement C. Moore, a son of Bishop

Benjamin Moore. Mr. Harison 's residence was sold by his executors to the Hon. David S. Jones, who became an acquaintance of Mr. Moore. At this time Mr. Moore came also into pleasant relations with the Hon. John C. Spencer, son of Chief Justice Ambrose Spencer. These relations and their advantages enlarged his views, corrected some errors, and helped him when he began to practice his profession. He was interested in the case of De Caters vs. La Farge, and this introduced him to another revisor of the statutes, the Hon. Benjamin F. Butler, afterward attorney-general of the United States. The friendship continued until the death of Mr. Butler. Mr. Moore, at twenty-two years of age, became an attorney of the Supreme Court and a solicitor of the Court of Chancery. He became a counsellor of both in 1833-34, and subsequently of the higher courts. including the Supreme Court of the United States. He was a long time the city agent of the Hon. Selah B. Strong, afterwards member of Con- gress and judge of the Supreme Court ; as well as of the Hon. Hugh Halsey, county judge and surrogate, surveyor-general of the State, presidential elector, and member of both houses of the legislature. Mr. Moore held the same relation to the Hon. George Miller, legislator, judge, and surrogate. All these were of Suffolk County. Early in 1834 he formed a partnership with Charles G. Havens, whose ancestors were from Long Island. This continued until May 1, 1838. They opened their office at 7 Nassau Street, opposite the present United States Treasury Building, and announced that one of them would always Sketch Charles Moore. j IO Biographical of B. [July, be there during business hours. Mr.' Havens, active and fond of exercise, generally attended to calls away from the office. Mr. Moore, lame and less robust, was content to read law, history, and politics in the office. In 1835 the firm had the conveyancing of the large estate of Mrs. Ann Rodgers, widow of Nicholas Cruger, which was then sold by her executors, Francis B. Cutting and N. C. Heyward. This led to much other business of the same kind. About this time Mr. Moore was tendered the office of examiner in Chancery. He deemed it undesirable to turn away in any measure from his ordinary law business, and astonished the politicians by declining to accept the office. The next year, 1S36, Governor William L. Marcy offered him the higher office of Master in

Chancery, and it was accepted. About 1S43 Messrs. Moore and Havens became associated with Francis B. Cutting, Esq., an eminent advocate. While associated with him the preparation of the written pleadings, cases, opinions, points, and briefs occupied most of Mr. Moore's time. He attended court and assisted at the trial or argument only of some of the most troublesome and complicated cases. The new firm prospered remarkably, as Moore and Havens

ill health constrained Mr. Moore to withdraw from it at a had done ; but later date. He then formed, with the late William V. McDaniel, a quiet conveyancing and consulting establishment. Afterwards Clifford A. Hand and, subsequently, George B. Bonney joined him. With these he continued his association until he retired, in 1883, from active practice, on account of age and bodily infirmities. Mr. Moore's tastes and habits did not cause him to appear very often in the courts. It was his way to counsel advocates and afford them the means of success. This he could do because of his rare knowledge of the law, and thorough comprehension of its principles. He was a master of equitable jurisprudence, and of matters relating to commerce upon the sea. One of the important cases in which Mr. Moore's counsel was suc- sessfully pursued arose in this way : Just before the outbreak of the war between the United States and Mexico, Mr. Harmony organized a trading expedition into the latter country. When he was about to cross the border he was forbidden to proceed in advance of our invading army. By order of General Kearney he followed the column commanded by Colonel Doniphan and Colonel Mitchell. The soldiers' control of the traders' movements was the only connection between the two parties. When the former arrived at Chihuahua they decided to take the city by storm, and pushed up Mr. Harmony's loaded wagons close to the wall to shield the troops from Mexican bullets. The city was taken, but the goods and expedition of Mr. Harmony were practically ruined. He applied to Congress for indemnity, but for reasons that need not be stated the application was in vain. Thereupon he consulted Mr. Moore, and was greatly astonished to be advised to bring a simple suit against the officers, or one of them. Accordingly, suit was brought against Colonel Mitchell. The government promptly adopted his defence. The result before Judge Nelson and a jury was a verdict for value of the goods. The Supreme Court of the United States affirmed this judgment. Judge Nelson defined for the jury with admirable clearness and impartiality, the powers of military officer 1894.] Biographical Sketch of Charles B. Moore. m to take private property for public use upon a military emergency, and the limitations upon those powers, as well as the personal liability of an officer who exercises them, and the limitations also upon these liabilities. Chief Justice Taney delivered the opinion of the Supreme Court. Mr. Cutting was the leading counsel, and met as the opposing counsel in Washington the eminent John J. Crittenden, then the attorney-general. Mr. Harmony recovered considerably over $100,000. This sum was a large amount in those days. Extremely important were the rules thus established as the law of the land to check the application of military force to peaceful citizens, and to check also excess of reclamations from military authorities compelled to act suddenly under pressure of apparent military necessity. They were in line with the advice given by Mr. Moore, and with the plan devised by him for dealing with what was then considered a novel question. The case of Post and others against Jones was brought by Mr. Moore to a righteous decision with far-reaching consequences. The whaling ship Richmond, of Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, after obtaining nearly a full cargo of oil and bone, struck on rocks in Behring Sea. In order to be advised of what was necessary and proper to be done, the master summoned the officers of other whaling vessels who chanced to be near the wreck, and who were the only persons accessible to him, for survey and advice. They advised that it was impracticable to save the vessel, and that the wreck and her cargo be sold at auction in their wrecked condition and for what they would bring. Such a sale was accordingly made, but it was practically at the mercy of the other whalers, who became purchasers upon their own terms and without competition. The oil and bone removed from the wreck were brought by these purchasers to the home ports of their ships, or to New York, on their account. But proceedings were taken in the Admiralty Court by Mr. Moore in behalf of the owners of the wrecked ship Richmond, on the ground that such a sale under such circumstances was invalid, and that the purchasers ought to account for the value of the oil and the bone and be content with a liberal salvage reward. In the formal sale the whalebone was treated as of little value and as an appurtenant of the oil to be apportioned among the purchasers of the

in the it had greatly advanced in value, and latter ; whereas, home market it, moreover, occupied but a small space in the carrying vessels. In the litigation Mr. Moore associated with himself as counsel Daniel Lord. He was opposed by Charles O'Conor and others. The case went through all the courts up to the Supreme Court of the United States, where the position originally taken by Mr. Moore was fully vindicated. It was of importance to ocean commerce in the bounds set by it to hard bargains between those who are made helpless by sea disaster and those who have exclusive power to render needed assistance, and who refuse to render it as salvors or otherwise than in the character of pur- chasing owners. In the political excitements while General Jackson and Mr. Van Buren filled the Presidential office, Mr. Moore strenuously supported the policy of these statesmen. Among his personal friends were William Leggett and his greater successor, William Cullen Bryant; and Mr. Moore often wrote for the Evening Post, which they edited. He supported the Wil- Biographical Sketch Charles B. Moore. u r 112 of [J b >

mot Proviso, resented the action of the Democratic National Convention of T848 in Baltimore, and took part with Mr. Van Buren in the Free Soil movement of that year. He approved vigorously the ordinances of 1787, and when the conflict came in 1861 to 1865 he was zealous for President Lincoln and the nation. Mr. Moore's high standing and rich fruitfulness as a genealogist and biographer made him well and widely known. His attainments and activities herein were more or less closely related to his professional employments in dealing with real estate, in searching titles, in convey- ance of landed property. In these matters, descent and inheritance are important. Deeds, wills, and other instruments of writing must be sub- mitted to investigation and scrutiny. The competent and skilful real estate lawyer gives careful attention thereto. Doubtless Mr. Moore had, in large measure, a natural bent and aptness for investigations and productiveness of this kind. He had a wonderful ability to acquire, retain, and use the knowledge of that infinite world of details and particulars which the accomplished genealogist must possess and command. He became interested in these investigations comparatively early in life. He formed the Genealogical Society of Southold in 1861. He was at that period giving much time and thought to the production of the Personal Indexes of Southold, the remarkable volume which he printed in 1868. That book gave an immense impulse to genealogical research and publication. Its happy and elevating influence has been effective in many ways. It has more than blazed the path for not a few persons who have used it, and safely followed its intrepid and intelligent guidance.

They would not have been able to advance at all without it through the wilderness of names and dates pertaining to the posterity of early founders of Southold. One who has been lost in a dense and seemingly boundless forest knows what is the relief and joy given by the coming of a competent guide. All who desire to know, and try to learn, the early history of the old town of Southold, will hold in grateful memory the work and name of Charles B. Moore for a thousand years to come. He devoted to the preparation of those indexes who knows how many successive summers ? And who knows at what expense, and with what care and labor, he had every accessible and available source of informa-

tion explored and exhausted for him ? Who can tell how, and to what extent, he employed men to copy all the town records, and all the inscriptions on all the gravestones and monuments set up during two hundred

years throughout the whole twenty-five miles of the length cf the town ? Unknown are the mysteries of his own personal examination of wills, deeds, administrative letters, mortgages, assignments, quit claims, and other legal documents of successive generations, in various public offices, in order to find names or dates that might possibly enlarge the quantity, or increase the accuracy, of the vast accumulation of material which sub- mitted to his scrutiny. This material he made the subject of his keen analysis, studious comparison, logical inference, and best arrangement in symmetry and harmony for his own ready use, and for the most generous and ample aid of many others. Who can imagine with what charming courtesy and indomitable patience he freely distributed to every proper comer from the opulent treasures of his immeasurable stores? I S94.] Biographical Sketch of Charles B. Moore. \\ ->

During the first year of the New York Genealogical and Biographical

Society, Charles B. Moore took a prominent and efficient part in its

affairs ; and throughout the next ten years thereafter his pen yielded more for its quarterly Record than any other man's. At the first annual meeting, the Society elected him one of its two vice-presidents, and also a member of the executive committee, and a trustee. He presented at that meeting his pedigree for registration in the books of the Society. He read at the same time his admirable biography of the Hon. Ezra L'Hommedieu. This appeared in the second volume of the Record. Previous to the second annual meeting he read his elaborate and recondite paper on " Dutch and English Intermarriages." It will for a long time bean element of no small value in the Record of October, 1872, and January, 1873. His "Plan for Genealogical Work" had already been read in the Society and printed in the Record. About this time he became a life member, and was appointed the chairman of the committee on biographical bibliography, an office which he retained twenty-three years, until his lamented decease. The Record of October, 1871, contains his sketch of Francis Brockholst Cutting, an eminent lawyer, who had been associated with him in the practice of his profession. During the same year he published in the Record "The Vail Family, " and a sketch of David Richard Floyd-Jones, who had been a member of both houses of the legislature and of the constitutional convention of 1846, and the Secretary of State in 1859 and i860. In 1872 he read in the Society "The Woodhull and Bray Families of Long Island, "and a sketch of the " Circumstances Attending the Occu- pation of Florida by the United States." The same year he was elected the corresponding secretary. Thenceforward he discharged the duties of the office with great faithfulness and ability for ten years. About this time he read in the Society a biographical sketch of Daniel Moore, of New York, and a paper on Barons Howard and Fffingham, and the names Philadelphia and Assaragoe. His '"' Personal Reminiscences of the late Hon. Selah B. Strong, Judge of the Supreme Court of this State," having been read in the Society, was published in the Record of April, 1873. It was accompanied by an excellent portrait of Judge Strong from a fine steel plate. This was the first of the many attractive portraits which have graced the pages of the Record. In the same number may be read the address on biography which he delivered at the fourth annual meeting. In the same year he read a paper on " The Early History of Tangier in Africa, with notices of William Smith," and also a "Sketch of the Life of John Romeyn Brodhead," as well as a "Sketch of Charles Ludlow Livingston." These, too, are in the Record. His chief contribution to the Society's Quarterly in 1874 was the " Biography of the Rev. Thomas De Witt, D.D." When Dr. De Witt was the senior pastor of the Collegiate Reformed Dutch Church he might properly be deemed the most eminent clergyman in the city. Mr. Moore's life of "John Ledyard, the Traveller," is in the Record of Jan- uary, 1S76. It is bright, keen, vigorous, one of the most characteristic products of Mr. Moore's intellectual penetration and graceful pen. In the Record, a year later, one may read his " Sketch of the Rev. William B. Sprague, D.D. ," the author of the Annals of the American Pulpit. For a series of years after he became a member of the Society's Publi- Biographical Sketch Charles B. II_i of Moore. [J u ty> cation Committee, his pen was unceasingly active in writing notices of books, and brief sketches of persons recently deceased. In 1877 he published "John Rogers, the Martyr," and "The Rogers Family of New York," as well as the pedigree of the Clinton Family. Later came his "Early History of Hempstead," and his " Shipwrights, Fishermen, etc." No matter what his theme, he followed Sir Walter Scott's rule for writing, namely, " Be interesting." He did not depart from it while writing of fishermen who lived and died hundreds of years ago, or while sketching the life of his friend, Edwin R. Purple. Between 1880 and 1888 he published sketches of the Rev. John Moore, Capt. John Seaman, the Clinton Family, the Christopher Youngs Family, and the Moore Family of Southold, including his first American ancestor, Thomas Moore. This latter paper has been freely used in the present memoir. These are far from being all his exceedingly interesting and valuable contributions to the Record ; but if these only were printed in the style of Bancroft's historical works they would fill volumes. He took a prominent part, in the summer of 1890, in the worthy celebration of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the formation of the town and church of Southold. The chief addresses then made gave expression to the immense learning and the splendid genius of the Rev. Richard S. Storrs, D.D., LL.D., and of Charles B. Moore, Esq. These addresses, with a letter from Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States, are the chief parts of the handsome octavo volume which records the celebration. In 1839 Frances Maria, daughter of John H. Jone?, of Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, became the wife of Mr. Moore. They celebrated their golden wedding in 18S9. She died two years later. Two daughters survive them. One is the wife of Theophylact B. Bleecker, Esq., of New York. Early in 1865 Mr. and Mrs. Moore visited Europe for health, business, and pleasure, and all the purposes of the visit were attained. The death of Mr. Moore at his home in New York, December n, 1893, caused the expression of high esteem and regard from many sources and organizations. The following from The Havens' Relief Fund So- ciety may be presented in illustration : ''Resolved, that it is with deep regret that we learn of the death of Charles B. Moore, one of the original incorporators of this Society." "Endowed with a remarkably clear and penetrating intellect, Mr. Moore invariably devoted his powers to the furtherance of the interests of justice and equity, and in public affairs to disinterested promotion of the public weal. His private life was pure, unselfish, and irreproachable. As friend and adviser he was loyal and sympathetic, and every trust undertaken by him was discharged as a sacred duty." At his funeral his home was filled with a choice and deeply sympathetic company. The service of the Protestant Episcopal Church was read by the Rev. William J. Seabury. The interment was made at Cold Spring Harbor, by the side of the grave of Mrs. Moore. i J Records the S94. of Reformed Dutch Church vi New York. 1 1 c

KING'S (NOW COLUMBIA) COLLEGE AND ITS EARLIEST ALUMNI.

By Richard H. Greene.

Read at a meeting of the Society, April 13, 1894.

I am asked to fill in a gap to-night, and, casting about for a subject, I

concluded, like everything else, to be in the fashion I should call it Columbian. But as things are now traced to their origin I will ask you to help me bring to light some of the beginnings of old King's College in New York. The college at Cambridge had stood for a century, and Yale for half a century, when this colony raised the money for "encouragement of learning and founding a college " by a public lottery under an Act of the Legislature. King's College was not so favorably situated as Harvard and Yale, controlled by Independents, or even New Jersey, by Presby-

terians ; those sects had thrown off Old-World domination in a Church without a bishop, and were preparing for a State without a king. King's College was under the English Church, and, even at the time of its foundation, mutterings of the storm were heard. The Church as a class adhered to the Crown, and while all New England was a unit for maintaining their rights, first by arguments then by armaments, New York was in doubt. The Presbyterians sided with the colonies ; the Dutch had prospered, yet they did not love the King, but they dreaded a conflict far more. Then there had been disputes of long standing with New England. It was the culture of old Harvard and the common schools of New England that first furnished the brains to unite the colonies and oppose the mother country. Nor were the other schools and colleges behind except in numbers. There were 56 signers of the Declaration of

Independence ; all the 5 from Massachusetts held diplomas from Har- vard, besides 1 of Rhode Island's 2, and 1 of Connecticut's 4. Two

of Connecticut's, and 2 of New York's delegation, with 1 from Georgia,

were Yale men. Old Nassau had 1 in New Jersey and 1 in Pennsylvania. Her president was a signer, and another graduate of Edinburgh signed

for Pennsylvania. The only signer from Maryland and 1 from New Jersey were from the University of Pennsylvania. Cambridge, England, lurnished 3. William and Mary claims 5 out of 7 from Virginia. So I count 25 graduates among the 56 signers. The presence of a large English army here from 1776 to 1783 closed the College in this city, and the same fact overawed many who under other circumstances might have been active with the colonists. The first class entered in 1754 and graduated in 1758. At the first

examination for entrance the order was as follows : Samuel Verplanck,

first; Rudolph Ritzema, second; Philip Van Cortlandt, third ; then

Robert Bayard, who did not graduate ; Samuel Provost, fifth ; then two

who did not graduate ; then Thomas Marston and Henry Cruger, and last, Joshua Bloomer. How often it happens that the first is last and the

last first ! It is literally fulfilled here, for the printed catalogue of graduates reads first Joshua Bloomer, and the last name is Samuel Verplanck. King's [now Columbia) College. u ' v 124 „ [J >

Two who graduated with them, Isaac Ogden and Joseph Reade, entered later. The presidency, during the entire period it existed under the Royal charter, which named the managers, was held by loyalists, one of whom,

Myles Cooper, was forced to flee on that account in 1775 ; that was before the advent of the Royal troops. His successor was of the same kind, but was better supported. It was not until the city had been evacuated by the enemy that the College, which had been closed in 1776, was opened under a new charter, with its new name Columbia, and a president who had sympathized with the colonies in the struggle for independence—William Samuel Johnson, a graduate of Yale, formerly a Connecticut lieutenant-colonel and a member of the Stamp Act Congress. The first class graduated seven men, some of whom had been, a portion of the time, at Princeton or Philadelphia.

1758.

Joshua Bloomer, the first name on the catalogue of graduates of 1758, was captain in the provincial forces of the State from Westchester, raised to to go against Canada in the campaign of 1759 5 he was promoted be major, and participated the next year in that capacity. He then became a merchant in New York, but gave it up in 1765 to go to England for the purpose of studying divinity. He was appointed missionary at Jamaica, Long Island, which included Flushing and Newtown, May 23, 1769, at a salary of thirty pounds per annum. Small as that was he had to sue

them before he got it, by a decision in his favor April, 1774, each to pay the his own costs ; these amounted to eighty pounds, and Mrs. Tryon, wife of the governor and judge, presented this to him before she returned to England. From the time he became rector till 1780 he kept no

records but marriages ; after that only baptisms and marriages. In 1778 there was a lottery for raising seven hundred and eighty

pounds ior the church ; a farm was purchased with the money, but the

rector was not suited and it was offered for sale February, 1786 ; in this he is described as at Newtown. He had some trouble with the whigs at the beginning of the war, at Newtown. It is said he administered the sacraments to four or five male communicants, all the rest having been driven off or carried away prisoners, but the next year the British came, and then the tables were changed and remained so until the end of the war. When the whigs directed him to omit the prayer for the king he had decided to close the church rather than comply, and this he carried out. In 1780 he had an assistant, Reverend John Sayre, but the support was withdrawn, and at the peace it ended. He received his A. M. probably in course, and S. T. D., 1790. He is one of three the date of whose death is known at the College; the other four are not shown. He died June 23, 1790, aged 55, unmarried and intestate. He was univer- sally regretted, and was buried in the chancel of the church at Jamaica.

He was of large, commanding figure. His parentage is unknown ; he may have been descended from Robert Bloomer, an early resident of Rye, constable in 1697, townsman twenty-nine years. What can the genealogist do with such a Melchisidec, " without father, without mother, without descent"? I have often consideredj " Biographical '' a trouble- 1894.] King's {now Columbia) College. 12=; some addition to our name, for every biography should give the parents and children ; but if such as Bloomer were the rule only one life would comprise it and one generation would end it. His record in the Alumni Catalogue is comprised in nine words. Does he deserve more when the only record he kept through his ministry was the marriages, but did not get married himself? "It is not good for man to be alone," and for many reasons. Isaac Ogden did not enter at the first examination, but joined the class later. His name is second in the general catalogue, which makes him member of the Provincial Congress, New Jersey, 1755, which is im- possible unless he was a colonial official before he went to college. The line of descent in this case can be given. John Ogden was in Stamford, Connecticut, 1641. He and his brother, 1642, contracted with

Governor Kieft, of New York, to build a stone church ; was a patentee of

Hempstead, Long Island, 1644 ; resident of Southampton, 1651 ; chosen assistant 1656-60 ; named in the royal charter of 1662 and elected assistant again that year, but removed to New Jersey where he made large purchases with Governor Carteret ; was representative for Elizabethtown in the first assembly of the colony, 1668, and died, 1681. David, his son, married Elizabeth (Swayne), widow of Josiah Ward, and daughter of Lieutenant Samuel Swayne, both of Branford, Connecticut, and original settlers of Newark, New Jersey. Their son was Colonel Josiah Ogden (1 680-1 763); he was member New Jersey Provincial Congress, 1716, 1721 and 1738, and died May 16, 1763, cet. 83. David, his eldest son (1707-98), graduated at Yale, 1728, married Gertrude, daughter of Abraham Gouverneur, and granddaughter of Jacob Leisler (who was executed). He read law in New York city, settled in Newark, New Jersey, and was considered the head of the profession in that colony. He was member of the King's Council, 1 75 1 , soon after Judge

Superior Court and Judge Supreme Court, 1772-77 ; at that time he was forced to seek protection from the British in New York. In 1779 he became a member of the Board of Refugees here. He drew a plan for royal government of the colonies, which is interesting, but which fortunately never after the peace he went to England, where he repre- materialized ; sented the New Jersey loyalists, and also received twenty thousand pounds sterling as compensation for his own losses. He returned in 1790 and settled at Whitestone, Queen's County. Long Island, where he died in 1798,

?et. 93. He had eleven children ; two sons joined the colonists, one was United States District Attorney by appointment of Washington, one settled in Pennsylvania but has descendants here, one being the late distinguished David B. Ogden of our bar. Josiah Ogden Hoffman, Attorney- General, New York, was also a grandson. He had also three sons who was Isaac Ogden (David's third child), the were loyal to the King ; one graduate of the earliest class at King's College. After graduation he went to New York as a refugee from Newark. His letters to Galloway, the Pennslyvania loyalist at London, show his feelings towards the rebels, Presbyterians, and Governor Livingston. He married first, Mary, daughter of Reverend Isaac Brown, and second, Sarah Hanson. He went to England when the war was over, and subsequently to Canada where he was chosen Judge of the Supreme Court and held that office till his death. He left descendants, of whom Peter became Governor in the service of the North Pacific Company. King's [now 126 Columbia) College. [J u 'y>

Samuel Provost was the third in the class. I need do no more than allude to him, for one of our number has published the genealogy of this family. Our president has given us the biography of the individual, and his fine features adorn the Society's publication as a frontispiece. The College was not ignorant of the facts and dates concerning the first bishop of New York, and the record they publish is as follows : "Samuel Provost (Rev.), A.M., A.B.. St. Peter's College, Cambridge

University, England, ; S. T. D., University of Pennsylvania, 1786 1765 ;

Regent University, New York State, 1 784—1 787 ; trustee (College), 1 787—

1S01 ; chairman of board, 1 795-1 801 ; bishop Protestant Episcopal

Church, New York, 1 787—1 815 ; died 1815, Bet. 73." He was born in New York city, February 26, 1742. Though educated at King's here, and Cambridge, England, ordained both as deacon and priest abroad, he came back to be a steadfast adherent of the rights of the colonists. Such men need no biographer. I am reminded of the remarks concerning James Boswell and Dr. Johnson. There the subject and the biographer were each fortunate in the association with the other. My part to-night is not to add to achieved glory, but to rescue from oblivion what in the hurry and trouble of eventful times was lost or forgotten. I

may, however, add, of his four children two were girls : Susanna Eliza- beth, married George Rapalje, Columbia, 1791, and Maria, married Cadwalader D. Colden, Mayor, M.C., etc. the youngest son, died ; John, early. These lines, I think, are extinct, but Benjamin Bousfield, the third child, left numerous descendants. Joseph Reade. — I am not surprised that the College knows so little of him, and I am not prepared to say much with certainty. Sir William Johnson, writing to the Earl of Hillsborough, 1771, speaks of the death of Joseph Reade, Esq., one of his majesty's council ; that man was councillor, 1764 to 1771, when he died. He may be the vestryman of Trinity Church. I hardly think he was brother of John, owner of the point called Reade Hook, which gave the name to the town. Reade Street is named from the same family. I am doubtful if he was Master in Chancery in New as the catalogue siates likely Jersey, ; more the "attorney, late of New York, now of Westchester, " who, according to D. W. de Peyster's affidavit, was " a great Tory ;" if so he did not die in 1771, for that was September 10, 1776, then he could not be the King's councillor. He might have been arrested by Sons of Liberty for dis- loyalty and sent to Connecticut. There is so much of record about Joseph

Read, born. Trenton, New Jersey, 1 74 1 , who graduated at Princeton, 1757, admitted to bar, secretary New Jersey, and Surrogate of the Province, and afterwards identified with Pennsylvania, member of Continental Con- gress, and general in the Revolution. This man was as prominent as our man was hidden. We may get a clew, but have not yet. Joseph Read, named as a governor in the charter, is probably a relation, also Joseph, whose daughter Sarah married James, son of Abraham de Peyster, in 1748. These may be the same person and the councillor.

Rudolphus Ritzema was born in Cullum, East Friesland, Holland ; his father, with whom he came to the colony, was born in the same place about 1708, and came in response to a call of the Dutch Church in New

Amsterdam, 1744 ; his wife, Hilletje Dyckstra, and three children accompanied him. Rudolphus was the eldest. Alida, his sister, was born

February 19, 1742 ; the other child was also a daughter. The Reverend 1894-] King's (fiow Columbia) College. i 2 y

Johannes Ritzema was senior minister of the Reformed Church, 1744-84, and one of the original trustees of the College. He removed to Kinder- hook after retiring from his charge and was there until his death, April 7, 1794, aged 86; his wife had died February 5, 1793, aged 85. After he graduated Rudolphus was sent to Holland to study divinity, but he gave up his studies and enlisted in a grenadier regiment of Frederick the Great, of Prussia, who was in the seven years' war against Austria and the other powers, a war in which people suffered greatly, but from which the nation gained a first rank. In it Frederick II. won glory at every turn. Rudolphus Ritzema is said to have been tall and commanding in appearance. Everyone knows the partiality of Frederick for such soldiers in his ranks. The peace of Hubertsberg in 1762 ended the campaign, and his regiment was disbanded. It is probable he immediately returned to this country and took up the study of the law. He married Annie Porter and had a family. Four sons survived him, and his descendants are said to be numerous. His sister, Alida Ritzema, mentioned before, married Nicholas Bogart, who had been married before to Maria Quick, and had eight children, of whom two sons lost their lives in the patriot army of the Revolution. Nicholas and Aiida had thirteen children. They lived on the west side of Broadway, between Cedar and Liberty Streets. When the Asia fired on the city a shot passed through this house above the bed where she was lying with her infant Cornelius

Bogart. Dominie Ritzema had two other children : Marie Wilhelmina, born in Holland 1745, married Thomas Andrew Hoog and left descendants ; his other son, David, born after reaching this city in 1751, died in infancy. He had been admitted to the bar when the conflict with

the mother country began ; he was early and active among the Sons of Liberty. In 1775 he commanded a fusileer company, which escorted the New England delegates on their passage through New York to the Con- tinental Congress. He was lieutenant-culonel under General Richard Montgomery in the Canada campaign, and I have seen the statement that he behaved badly under fire. His promotion had followed from his

experience in Frederick's army ; he was also one of the committee of one hundred—the citizens' committee for the public defence. When four regiments were authorized, June 30, 1775, the first was officered by Alexander McDougall, Colonel Rudolphus Ritzema was lieutenant-colonel, and Hermon Zedwitz was the first major. Mc- Dougall was on duty from the first gathering of the Sons of Liberty till the organization of the Order of the Cincinnati when the war ended. Zedwitz on the contrary, like Ritzema, was a traitor. After the fall of St. John's, Ritzema commanded the Third Regiment New York line. At White Plains, September, 1776, he was commanding the regiment with Frederick Weissenfels, who was first captain in June, 1775, as lieutenant-colonel. Here is what Philip Van Cortlandt says, speaking of the White Plains battle and this regiment. It " was engaged under Lieutenant- Colonel Weissenfels, Colonel Ritzema being absent four or five miles in the rear, either from cowardice or disaffection, perhaps both, for he shortly after discharged many of the men enlisted for the war, and absconded himself, going to the enemy at New York." That is all true, but " shortly after " may not give the correct idea. Ritzema was he was tried court-martialled, and little was proven ; but subsequently King's {now Columbia) College. u r 128 [J b > again, convicted and dismissed. I think this was in 1778 and that he had absconded before that. He joined the enemy in New York, was authorized to raise a regiment, and subsequently received half pay, a sum of money, and land in Nova Scotia from the King. Much has been attempted in the way of patching up his reputation, but without success. After he went to England he lived at York, and if any one is inclined to disbelieve his treason to the colonies, here is the first clause of his last will and testament, dated April 24, 1803 : " I, Rodolphus Ritzema, of the city of Exeter, late lieutenant-colonel commandant in his majestie's provincials in North America," etc. He died at Harcross and was buried at Kent in May, 1803. Philip Van Corilandt. —The pedigree of this family is well known. The first, Steven, lived at Courtlandl, in South Holland. His son, Oloff Stevenson, or Oloff Stevens van Kortlandt, as he signed his name later, was born there about 1683. He was in the employ of the Dutch West India Company, and emigrated to New Amsterdam, where he built a brewery and prospered. In 1649 ne commanded the train bands; was schepen 1654, burgomaster 1655; had seven children. Stephen, the eldest, born May 7, 1643, married Gertrude Schuyler;

major 1677, member of the council and colonel of militia ; he had four-

teen children. Philip, born August 9, 1683, was the third son ; he

married, in 1709-10, Catharine de Peyster ; was councillor of the Prov- ince under Governor Montgomerie, until his death, August 21, 1746 ; they had six children. Stephen, born October 26, 17 10, married, 1738,

Mary Walton Ricketts ; of their three children the eldest was Philip, the King's College graduate, who was born November 10, 1739; married Catharine, daughter of Jacob Ogden of New Jersey. They had twenty- three children. He is not to be confused with his uncle of similar name, the patriot colonel, who became the ancestor of the Van Cortlandts of Cortlandt Manor. He entered the British army as major of the Third Battalion, New Jersey Loyal Volunteers. After the war his estates were

confiscated and he went to England. He died May 1, 1814, and was buried at Harlsham, where a mural monument is erected. His sons received commissions in the English army. Samuel Verplanck was born in New city, York September 19, 1739 ; his lather died when he was but 12 years old; he entered Kings 1754, the first name on the list of candidates, and was admitted at the first examination. At his graduation he was sent to his uncle, Daniel Crommelin of Amsterdam, Holland. In his family he lived, and married his daughter Judith, who was consequently his cousin, April 26,

1 76 1. He was in the banking house of his uncle and father-in-law until 1763, when he returned to this city, to the Wall Street house, where his father had resided, just east of the City Hall, the site of the United States Bank and United States Assay Office. He began banking in New York, was one of the founders of the Chamber of Commerce 1768, a governor of the college 1770. His uncle, Philip Verplanck, member of the Legislature from Cortlandt Manor, had been named in the charter, and was a governor 1754 till his death, October 13, 1771. He was a younger brother of Samuel's grandfather. I am doubtful if he was whig or loyal. If he was the member of the Committee of Safety, New York, 1775, it does not prove anything, especially as his name disappears that year. Then, again, if he was a loyalist (as some say) there was no King's (now Columbia) College. 1894.] 1 29

Act of Forfeiture. Many patriots in '75 took the oath after the enemy occupied New York and Long Island in 1776. His wife Judith died September, 1803, leaving one son, Daniel Crommelin Verplanck, who was born March 19, 1762 ; Columbia College, 17SS ; he married Elizabeth, the daughter of the first president, William Samuel Johnson. In the next generation the distinguished Gulian Crommelin Verplanck, one of the best known of New Yorkers, entered Columbia at 11 years and graduated 1801. We are fortunate in having two of this family among our members. This family is descended from Abraham Isaacsen or Abram Planck, as he signed himself on the deed of Paulus Hook 1638 ; his son Gulian, born January 1, 1637, married June 20, 1668, Hendritje VVessels ; his eldest child, Samuel, born December, 1669, married Anantje Bayard. His youngest child Gulian, born May 31, 1698, who married Mary Crommelin, daughter of Charles of Amsterdam, was the father of the graduate. Samuel Verplanck removed to Fishkill, New York, 1804, to the house of his son, called " Mount Gulian," where the Order of the Cincinnati had been organized in 1783. There Samuel died June 27, 1820, in his

8 1 st year. If I mark Verplanck doubtful, then we have 5 loyalists, and Bishop Provost alone as a known patriot, in the first class which graduated at King's College.

1759-

Efenelus Townsend was born at Cedar Swamp, near Oyster Bay, L. I., in April, 1742, received A. M. in course ; married Lucy Beach, September 10, 1769. Was ordained 1767, in the Church of England, by the Bishop of London. His license is dated December 21, 1767. He was son of Micajah, born 1699, inherited land at Cedar Swamp, L.

Married April 23, 1732, Elizabeth Piatt, who died May 16, 1759, and he married 2d December, 1760, Meribah, daughter Joshua Townsend, who died soon, and he then married Anne, widow Geo. Frost.

1 781. His children by the first wife were Piatt, Epenetus, Jotham and Micah. This family came from Norwich, Norfolk County, England. Henry, the emigrant, got a patent for Flushing from Governor Kieft,

afterwards settled at Oyster Bay, where he got a mill grant ; his son John inherited this, and was known as John at the Mil!. He married Esther

Smith, and died March 9, 1705. His son was Micajah above. Epenetus was inducted over the church at Salem, N. Y., May 29, 1768. He was loyal to the Crown and was arrested more than once, and was ordered to leave when he refused allegiance to the colony. He left the country in 1779, bound for Nova Scotia, but never arrived, for he and his entire family were lost on the passage. His children were Epenetus, born

October 31, 1770 ; Lucy, born November 3, 1772 ; Micajah and John, twins, born June 28, 1775. William Hanna was educated at Nottingham, Md., then assistant at school in Pequea, Pa., graduated at Kings 1759, A. M. 1765. Licensed to preach by the Litchfield, Conn., Presbytery, May 28, 1760; became pastor of 1st Presbyterian Church, Albany, N. Y., 1763. He received j -20 King's {now Columbia) College. [J u ^7>

an honorary A. M. from Yale, 1768. In 1765 his church had asked his dismission, because he had accepted a civil office from the Government. In May, 1767, he writes Sir William Johnson that he has attended at Mr. Silvester's office in Albany to learn the formalities and proceedings of the courts and got his license. Then he went to Schenectady to settle. He did not succeed at the bar, and 1771 we hear of him applying to be admitted to orders in the Church of England. Sir William Johnson presented his claims to Dr. Auchmuty, who replied he had informed

himself about the gentleman ; "his moral character formerly was good, but since he has commenced law it is altered." Then advises that he get recommendations to Lord Baltimore, who can provide for him at a distance from his old friends the Dissenters, &c. Then he went to Baltimore, was furnished letters to Colonel Washington, and went to Virginia. There his reception was favorable. He went thence to

England, and the Bishop of London ordained him June i4 5 1772. Fifteen months later Rev. William Andrews writes from Williamsburg, " is Virginia : He still remains unprovided,*" and adds, "his character not known here, nor have I been so uncharitable as to acquaint the

clergy with it. It is his want of powers to please that has hitherto been the obstacle to success." Again he disappears, and leaves no clue to his whereabouts.

Samuel Bayard, Jr., born in 1740, married Catharine Van Home, April 26, 1778, Deputy Secretary of the colony of New York, before the Revolution, Deputy Register of the Ordinary and Prerogative Court, July, 1774. He sent a memorial to the King in behalf of himself and others, 1774. After General Charles Lee took command at New York, 1776, Samuel was made a prisoner under guard at the house of Nicholas Bayard. He entered the service of the Crown and was commissioned

February 9, 1 781, major in the King's Orange Rangers. He died in 1816, aged 76. Nicholas Bayard, the ancestor, came with Stuyvesant. His uncle was prominent in the colony, and held many high offices. He was a member of the Governor's council, and when Leisler came into power he was banished. He returned later, was reinstated in office, and helped to bring Leisler to the scaffold 1702. Afterwards the adherents of Leisler had Bayard condemned to death for treason, but by a change in the political rulers he escaped. He died leaving a widow, Judy, and son Samuel, married to Margaret, daughter of Stephanus Van Cortlandt, who inherited his large property, and died September, 1745. His children, besides seven daughters, were Nicholas, who married a daughter of Peter V. B. Livingston, and Samuel, the graduate's father. He died in 1784. Samuel went to Nova Scotia, and his estates were confiscated. Anthony Hoffman, son of Colonel Martinus, born August 1, 1739, married Mary Rutgers of New York, daughter of Harman. Her two was, therefore, sisters married Jacob Le Roy, her brother's partner ; she great-aunt of Mrs. Daniel Webster. Their daughter, Eliza Hoffman, married her kinsman. Nicholas G. Rutgers, whom she survived. They

had no children. She lived in New Brunswick, N. J. Colonel Martin Hoffman resided at Red Hook, and was delegate to the New York 1894-] King's {fiow Columbia) College. I -> I

Provincial Congress 1775—6—7. Anthony received his master's degree, and was Regent New York University 1784-87. He was elected to the New York Legislature 1783. Philip Livingston, son of Peter Van Brugh, who was brother of Philip Livingston, the signer of the Declaration of Independence, was born

November 3, 1740 ; was secretary to Sir Henry Moore, Governor of New York. His sympathies were with the mother country, and after the war he went to England and remained many years. After he returned he married in New York, October 7, 1790, Cornelia, daughter of Daniel Van Home. He was trustee 1797-1806, and died in 1810, leaving four sons : i. Peter Van Brugh, S. Charge d'Affaires ii. U. to Ecuador 1848 ;

Philip, died unmarried ; iii. Richard, U. S. N. , unmarried ; iv. Charles

Ludlow, Speaker New York Legislature, 1832-3 ; senator 1834-7.

John Marston was born New York, December 5, 1740. He was admitted at the first examination in 1754, when only 13, but did not remain. He graduated with the class of 1760 ; this and the taking of his second degree is all the catalogue tells us of him. He was son of Nathaniel Marston, a governor of the College named in the charter, a wealthy merchant, and Mary CosJ? or Crooks his wife. His father, Nathaniel, born New York March 27, 1704, was a vestryman of Trinity

Church 1731 ; warden 1770. He owned the privateer Peggy in the

French War, 1756 ; and bought a farm in Harlem, which he left to his sons, Thomas and John. The latter was the graduate. He married Rachel Laurence of Philadelphia, June 7, 1768. Thomas married 1759 Cornelia, sister of Anthony and Leonard Lispenard, in the next succeeding class. Their eldest sister, Margaret, had married the Hon.

Philip Philips ; and an older brother, Nathaniel, had a daughter, who married Captain Fred Philipse of the British army. The brothers, Thomas, who was the 3d child, and John, who was the 6th, are in some doubt as to their position on the question of loyalty to England. They were both, however, members of the committee of 100 in New York city,

May, 1775. John and Rachel had 5 children : i. Mary, born November 8, 1768, married ^Thomas White; ii. Nathaniel, born May 21, 1770; he went to England ; iii. Rachel, born October 3, 1771 ; iv. Thomas, born v. October 2, 1773, never married ; John, born September 3, 1775, married Mrs. Margaret Yates, nee Winthrop, the only family which left descendants of the name in this country, the other brother, who married, having gone abroad. This family traces back to Nathaniel of Leicester, England, born about 1600, emigrated to Long Island 1639, bringing a son, John, who married about 1657 Anna Legg. Their son Nathan- iel, born at Flushing or New York 1665, was an original vestryman of

Trinity Church, named in the charter 1697, and active till 1 73 1 . His wife was Margaret Hardenbrook. He died in 1737. His son Nathaniel was the grandfather of John, as shown above. Robert Walls, son of Hon. John, member of King's Council (175 7—

1775) and Ann de Lancey, was born August 23, 1743 ; married Mary Alexander, daughter of William, Lord Sterling. John (King's 1766) was his brother. Their descent was from Robert, who married Mary, daughter of Wm. Nicoll of Long Island, and lived at Rose Hill, through his son John, born New York 1715, married 1742 Ann de Lancey. He went to England 1779. His property was confiscated, but afterwards was conveyed to his sons Robert and John, the graduates. Pie died in -? King's (nozu Columbia) College. I 2 [J u b'>

Wales aged 59, 1789. Besides these he had a son Stephen and four daughters. Robert lived in New York, and his name was in the directory in 1790, but afterwards removed to Philadelphia, and died there.

The children of Robert and Mary Alexander Watts were : i. Sarah Maria,

ii. married twice, but died without issue ; Anne, born January 22, 1780, married John Watts Kearney, had eleven children ; iii. Catharine, married

Henry, son of Thomas Barclay (King's 1772), no children ; iv. Robert, born September 19, 1784 (Columbia 1803), no children ; v. John, born 1786 (Columbia 1804), married Anna, daughter of John Rutherford, five children.

Isaac Wilkins was born in the year 1741 in Jamaica, W. I. After graduation he was elected to the New York Assembly 1772-75, from

Borough of Westchester. In 1775 he went to England ; returned in 1776 and settled in Long Island. He explained his position in a letter " in 1775 as follows : I leave America and every endearing connection, because I will not raise my hand against my sovereign, nor will I draw my sword against my country. When I can conscientiously draw it in her favor, my life shall be cheerfully devoted to her service." He was banished, his writings dressed in tar and buzzard feathers and burned, and he retired to Shelburne, Nova Scotia. In the year 1798 he returned, was ordained deacon and settled over St. Peter's parish in Westchester county, 1799, where he continued until his death. Great Britain gave him an annuity on account of his loyalty, of ^125. He died in Westchester, February 15, 1830, aged 89.

Henry Van Dyck was a minister and loyalist. He left the country after the Peace, and in 1784, by act of New York legislature, was permitted to return. He died in 1804, aged 60. Anthony Lispenard^ son of Leonard who was a member of the Stamp Act Congress in 1765, the New York Provincial Congress in May, 1775, and called Colonel in the records of July and August ; and Eliza Rutgers, daughter of Anthony. Anthony Lispenard was the eldest son, baptized at Reformed Dutch Church, New York, December 8, 1742, merchant. He had extensive breweries also on the Greenwich Road, near Canal Street. He married his cousin, Sarah Barclay. They had a son, Anthony, whose portrait is in the Record, July, 1793, and Thomas, both bachelors. Their eldest son, Leonard, married Anna Dorothea, daughter of Theophylact Bache. Anthony died in 1806, aged 64. The political position of Anthony and his brother Leonard in the next class is alluded to by John Moore, in December, 1775, in notes of political sentiments of his social " club, thus : These brothers are of doubtful loyalty to the Crown, but are remaining quiet at New York."

Henry Holland, the third and only other graduate of 1 76 1, "a lawyer and Master in Chancery in New York. Received degree of A. M." according to the catalogue ; but the Henry Holland, Master in Chancery, was appointed May 20, 1743, was baptized at Albany May 1, 1704, and was over 70 when the American army came to New York, when he left and soon died. I believe this Henry Holland was a merchant and not a lawyer. He lived at the south end of Staten Island. He was elected representative for Richmond County in the Legislature 1761-69, after —

1894.] Genealogical Notes on the Quackenbos Family, 00 which, in consideration of the exertions of the members of St. Andrew's Church in his behalf, he presented the church with a bell and two silver collection plates. I think Henry, born 1704, was the Master, and the graduate was Henry, son of Edward the Mayor, who was born 1702. The the father of the former was Captain Henry from Ireland, who commanded garrison at Albany. Another of his sons, Edward, was Master and Mayor at Albany, and later in New York and one of the council. He died while Mayor of New York, November 10, 1756, before Henry entered college. His will, signed just before his death, gives " Henry not yet of age," a tract of land in Albany County. Henry Holland of the second generation of that family married Alida Beekman, 14 December, 1728.

King. In justice to the deceased it may be remarked that trib- ulation ^distinguished her for its victim. She was the mother of nine sons whom she lived to see arrive to a state of manhood and conducting business in the most active stations, hut six fell victims to death ere she was called to yield her life, not one of whom she had the mournful privilege to attend in the last struggle. Through many afflictions may we doubt not she entered the haven of eternal rest.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY.

April 13th. The meeting held on the evening of this day was very largely attended, and two very interesting and valuable papers were read : one by Richard " Henry Greene, the Librarian of the Society, on King's ( now Columbia) College, and its Earliest Alumni," and the other by Joseph O. Brown on "The Bermuda Islands and their Connection with New York.'' Both papers were listened to with much interest, and were requested for publication in the Record. Mr. Brown's paper was rendered pathetically notable by the fact that it was the last one written by him, his death occurring soon after, on the 5th of May. His loss will be deeply felt by the Society, for he was one of its earlier and most valued members. A short obituary sketch of him will be found in this number of the Record. At this meeting, George H. Comstock, of Mechanicsburg, Pa., and Mrs. 'William H. McCartney, of Wilkes- barre, Pa., were elected resident members of the Society. April 27th.

Brown, the Society listened to an able paper by Marcius D. Raymond, of Tarrytown, N. Y. , on "Col. William Stephens Smith, Washington's aide-de-camp, and his wife, Abigail Adams, the daughter of President John Adams." This very interesting historical sketch will appear in a future number of the Record. May 25th. Business and conversational meeting, at which Alanson T. Enos, Dr. E. A. Goodridge, Dr. Timothy M.

James Grant Wilson, President of the New York Genea- logical and Biographical Society, suddenly came upon the celebrated statue of Colum- bus by the Spanish sculptor, Sunol. The beauty and force of the work, and the evident genius of the artist, struck him at once, and he straightway resolved that New • York city should have a statue of Columbus by the same artist. . Saturday, May 12, was set. for the unveiling of that statue on the Mall in Central Park by the Vice-President of the United States, Adlai Ewing Stevenson. An elaborate programme was arranged for the event, in which a distinguished company of men prominent in the diplomatic, political, social, and business worlds were invited to participate. Some of the party came on from Washington in a private car, and were entertained by the Committee at the Plaza Hotel. In their honor several elaborate entertainments were given. The party which arrived from Washington consisted of Vice-President and Mrs. Stevenson, Baron de Fava, the Italian Ambassador, and Baroness de Fava, and Senor Don E. de Muruaga, the Spanish Minister. The

Committee of Arrangements comprised General Wilson, chairman ; Cornelius Vanderbilt, Henry G. Marquand, William R. Grace, James J. Goodwin, Thomas L. James, and Charles F. Cox> William Waldorf Astor was another of the committee. At 1.30 the first event of the day was arranged to occur. This was a formal breakfast given by General and Mrs. Wilson to their guests from Wash- ington. Others bidden were Bishop Potter, Chauncey M. Depew, Gen. O. O.

Howard. Admiral Gherardi, A. Lowden Snowden, ex-Minister to Spain ; Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, and the members of the committee. At 2.45 eight carriages were ordered to convey the party to Central Park. A platoon of twelve mounted police was assigned as escort to the distinguished guests. A stand had been built around the statue to accommodate General Wilson's party and other invited guests. Com- pletely swathed in flags the statue stood hidden from sight. A cord was so arranged that a slight pull from Vice-President Stevenson's hand would expose the whole to view in a moment. The artist's creation is of the .fame size as the Ward statue of Shakespeare, which stands about two hundred and fifty feet away in a direct line on the Mall. For the actual ceremony of unveiling, fixed for 3 o'clock, an elaborate

programme was arranged as follows : General Wilson, President of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, will take the chair as presiding officer. Prayer, by Dr. Henry C. Potter, Bishop of New York. The Vice-President of the United States will unveil the statue and present it, on behalf of the subscribers, to the city of New York. Acceptance of the statue and response, by his Honor the Mayor of the city. A letter from the Duke of Veragua, the descendant of Columbus, will be read by Cornelius Vanderbilt, Esq. Address, by Baron de Fava, Ambassador from Italy. Poem, "A Mariner's Dream," by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe. Address, by Senor Don Muruaga, Minister from Spain. Oration, by the Hon. Chauncey M. Depew. General Wilson on taking the chair delivered a few remarks on the history of the statue. After the bishop's prayer the unveiling was to be done by Vice-President Stevenson. His remarks in the way of presenting it to the city were informal, as were Mayor Gilroy's in accepting it. Mr. Vanderbilt then read the letter from the Duke of Veragua, and also letters from Governor Flower and Robert C. Winthrop, of Massachusetts, the oldest honorary member of our Society. The statue, in whose honor all this was done, is the Spanish sculptor Jeronomo Sunol's best work. It was ordered by General Wilson after he had seen one in Madrid, by the same artist. While not alike in details, the Central Park statue is 1894.] Notes and Queries. 141^

somewhat similar to the one in Madrid. Sunol considers it an improvement. The statue cost about $15,000, and was paid for by citizens of New York in $100 subscriptions. It is of bronze, in heroic size, and is mounted on a pedestal, harmonious in tone and design, which is the work of Napoleon Le Biun of this city. Columbus is represented in the act of landing and returning thanks to God for his safe voyage. Attired in his famous coat of scarlet, ermine edged, with a heavy chain and pendant about his neck, the discoverer is represented as holding the Spanish standard in the right hand, while the other is extended in invocation. On the ground at his right is a coil of rope, on which is poised a globe. The left leg is drawn back, while the right is advanced. The type of the head is the familiar, smooth-shaven one seen so often in pictures of Columbus, with the high, retreating brow, long hair, and clean- cut features. The lips are half open, as if to speak, and the eyes seem almost to express in cold metal the devout thanksgiving of the great discoverer. All who have been privileged to see the statue before its unveiling have unhesitatingly pronounced it a work of genius. Among Spanish sculptors Sunol has no equal. This statue is his latest and best piece of work. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe's spirited poem, " The Mariner's Dream," and Chauncey M. Depew's brilliant oration concluded the interesting exercises. W. Old Wills, New York, Kings, Queen's Counties. —In the search for an old will I have had an experience, the statement of which may be helpful to other persons. In the office of the Clerk of the Court of Appeals, at Albany, is an index of wills, labeled " 1662 to 1783," "Secretary's Office." Under the letter H, which I was examining, were wills grouped under certain years specified, from 1662 to 1776, and after them a group of seven without any date, and in the margin of that group appeared the words " Not recorded." One of the seven is identified as of Jan. 10, 1715. Of this will more is stated below. In the same office is an index labeled "Court of Probate," "Index of Wills." Under the letter H. extending from 1679-80 to 1799, is a will mentioned, of which the

original is still in that office ; and yet it is recorded in the office of the Surrogate of the County of New York, probably from an authenticated copy. And the index led up to an authenticated copy of another will, of which also there is a record in New York. There is a third book consisting of a list of wills, etc., not arranged alphabetically

nor chronologically ; over two hundred pages, twenty-five items to the page, over five " thousand wills. The entries in the book begin as follows : A List of Wills, Receipts for Wills, Administration Bonds, Inventories, etc., relative to the Southern District of the State of New York, heretofore filed in the Probate Office of the said State, delivered by the Judge of Probate thereof to the Surrogate of the City and County of New York, in pursuance of an Act of the Legislature passed the Thirtieth day of March, 1799. as per receipt subscribed by the said Surrogate at the end hereof." " Then follows a specification of the wills, and of a book described as follows : A book containing a List of Wills proved in the Prerogative Office in the City of New York, begun in the year 1759, and ending in the year 1763." Then follows the receipt, without date, signed by the Surrogate, who elsewhere appears to have been in office " in 1 801, and again at a later date, in the terms following : New York Surrogate's Office, ss. Received from Leonard Gansevoort, Esq., Judge of the Court of Probate of the State of New York, all the Wills, Receipts for Wills, Inventories, and part of the Administration Bonds belonging to the Southern District of the State, agreeably to the preceding entry made thereof. Sylvanus Miller." " of In this List" is mentioned the Will of 171 5, referred to above ; also a Will Feb. 3, 1706-7, which does not appear in either of the indices mentioned above, unless it be the one in the index first named, as proven in 1742, which seems incredi ble. Neither of these wills is to be found in the index in the Surrogate's office, New York. Nor did a search, will by will, in the Libers 7 and 8, which should have in-

cluded them, bring them to light ; nor did a search among the bundles of original wills have any better result. The Surrogate of New York acknowledged receipt of them, but they are not to be found. Resort was then had to the office of the Registrar of Deeds, with no better result. Then to the County Clerk's office, where two books of wills, without indices, in the particulars were found, beginning with 17S7 ; and a third book another room, of which I did not note. Mr. Barbour, of the office of the Clerk of the Court of Appeals; Messrs. Wash- burn and Marsac of the Surrogate's office, and Messrs. Sucully and Whalen of the County Clerk's office, gave every facility. R. w. Notes and Queries. 146 [J u b'<

Searing. — In a burial place on the farm of the late David Williams, of Searing- town, Queens Co., L. I., there is a nicely lettered memorial stone, in a good state of

preservation, having on it this inscription :

Sarah Searing daughter of Rev. James Searing, Newport, R. I. Died Nov. 6, 1S15, Aged 62 Years.

This is the only stone in the now deserted burial place. Thompson, in his

history of Long Island, says : Rev. James Searing was born at Hempstead, L. I., T704, and died 1755. Can any one give me further information concerning him and his family? dan'l n. carpenter.

The Provincial Flag of Pennsylvania. —The Pennsylvania Gazette of January 12 and April 16, 1748, gives a description of devices which Dr. Benjamin Franklin says (in his Autobiography) that he furnished for flags for the " Associators " of 1747, in Philadelphia. {Vide Sparks' Franklin, p. 146, for details.) No mention is made, in either issue, of the color of the silks upon which these devices were painted. Can any reader of the Record put me in the way of finding out the color of the silk, especially that of the flag with device No. 1, " a lion erect, a naked scimitar in one paw, the other holding the escutcheon of Pennsylvania, motto, " Patria" ?

ment : John Dwight, m. Jan. 31. 1S41, Nancy Shaw Everett, b. June 17, 1S17 (adopted dau. of Hon. Melatiah Everett of Wrentham, Mass., and Fanny Shepard).

It should have been : John Dwight, m. Jan. 13, 1841, Nancy Shaw Everett, b. June 17. 1S17 (adopted dau. of Hon. Melatiah Everett, and dau. of his brother, Metcalf Everett and Fanny Shepard). M. E. dwight.

Walker-Odell. —Joseph and Abigail (Prudden) Walker, of Stratford, Conn., had a daughter, Joanna Walker, born probably about 1675, who married a Mr. Odell. Orcutt's History of Stratford calls him Samuel Odell, and fixes the date of marriage as before 1702; but Mrs. Schenck's History of P'airfield names him as John Odell, the son of William Odell, Sr., of Fairfield.

conflicting statements ? rufus king, Vonkers, N. V. 1894-] Obituaries. \aj

OBITUARIES.

Cotheal. —Alexander Isaac Cotheal was born in the city of New York, on the 5th of November, 1804, of an ancient family, the records of which run back as far as 1353. Educated at the Broad Street Academy and at Pickett's school, he manifested a great aptitude for mathematics and languages, as well as an earnest interest in mechanical pursuits. Strangely enough, he declined to enter Columbia College, but associated himself with the shipping house of his father and uncle as the Spanish and French correspondent of the firm, of which he became a partner in 1S36. His marvelous interest in the Arabic language owes its origin to the presence of the Arab ship " Sultanee, " which lay in the harbor of New York in 1840, and to which he made frequent visits. During his sojourn in Zanzibar and Mozambique, whither he went in 1851, to establish a trading factory, he further perfected himself in the study of Oriental tongues. In 1S52 he went to Nicaragua, and in 1877 was appointed Consul-General to that State, where he interested himself in its ethnology, and especially in the study of the language of the Mosquito Indians, the results of which study were printed in the Transactions of the American Ethnological Society in 1S4S. He also devised and prepared a system of coinage for the State of Nicara- gua. In 1842, chiefly by his zeal and enthusiasm, the " American Ethnological Society " was instituted, and of the original thirteen members he was the sole survivor. Its meetings were held at his hospitable residence, and for many years he was its Treasurer. In 1872 he was elected as first Vice-President, and on the 13th of February, 1S74, he became its President, filling the office continuously for twenty years, and occupying its chair till the day of his decease. He was also a moving spirit in the " American Oriental Society," devoting him self especially to the study of Arabic and cognate languages, the fruits of which remain in his translation of the rare Arabic text of " Attaff the Generous." Although weak in body from an accident that befell him in childhood, and bent with age, he was strong and vigorous in mind, and spent the later years of his life in his well-stored library, in patient research and quiet study, until in the ripeness of years he passed from the toils of a well-spent life to his eternal rest on the 25th of Febru- ary, 1894, the last man of his race who bore the name of Cotheal. He was for several years Treasurer of the New York Genealogical and Biographi- cal Society, having been elected a member in 1878. Although possessed of an unusual wealth of learning on many subjects, he was always modest and retiring, ready to put his knowledge at the service of anyone who required it. He will live in memory as the model of an earnest and enthusiastic scholar, as well as of an honorable Christian gentleman. WILLIAM H. VIBBERT, D.D.

King. — David King, Esq., of Newport, R.I., died in Washington, D.C., 8 March, 1894, after a brief illness. Mr. King was born in Newport, in 1840, and was son of Dr. David King, a distinguished physician of that place, whose father was Dr. David King, of Raynham, Mass. 148 Book Notices. [J u 'y>

The earliest known ancestor of the family in this country was Lieut. Philip King, of Taunton, Mass. (now Raynham), who was Representative in 1695 and Justice of the Peace. Through this Philip 1 King, whose wife was Judith, daughter of the Rev. William Whitman, the descent of David King, deceased, may be traced in the line of John- and Alice (Dean) King, of Taunton, David 3 and Rebecca (Dean) King, 4 of Taunton, Lieut. Job and Zippora (Williams) King, of Taunton, Dr. David 5 and Ann (Gordon) King, of Raynham, and Dr. David 6 and Sarah (Wheaton) King, of Newport. This last-mentioned gentleman's younger son was David 7 King of Newport, and the subject of this obituary. He entered Harvard University in 1S57, but left before finishing his course, and went to China in 1859, where he became a partner in the firm of Russell & Co., and remained there until 1872. Mr. King was Assistant Commissioner of the United States to the Paris Exposition in 1889, and held other positions of trust. He resided in Washington during part of each year, but was much interested in the prosperity of Newport, where he owned a summer home. He was a Governor of the Newport Casino, a Trustee of the Newport Hospital, and a Director of the Redwood Library. Mr. King was twice married, first to Miss Helen Van Cortlandt Morris, daughter of Richard Lewis Morris, Esq., of Pelham, N. Y., and second to Miss Ella Rives, daughter of Francis R. Rives, Esq., of New Hamburgh, N. Y. Mr. King's widow and two children, a son and a daughter, survive him. His will, dated 19 July, 1878, mentions his daughter, Maud Gwendolen, his brother William De Hon King, and four sisters, Mrs. William H. Birckhead, Ann King, Mrs. S. W. Pomeroy, and Georgiana Gordon King. The name of the testator's son (Philip) does not appear in the will, as he was not born when the document was executed. Mr. King was buried in Newport. r. k.

Brown. —Joseph Jauncey Outerbridge Brown was the son of Erastus Fitch Brown and Sarah Jauncey Ketchum, and was born in Bermuda, October 30, 1827. At the age of thirteen he came to New York and entered the office of the law firm of Adriance and Ketchum, with whom he remained until he began business for himself in April, 186S. He directed his attention especially to real estate, concerning which his opinion was constantly sought by members of the legal profession and others. There are few authorities on titles to New York property, and particularly to that situated on the northern half of Manhattan Island, whose opinions were more respected and acquiesced in than those of Mr. Brown. His genial countenance will long be remembered at his old-fashioned law office in Nassau Street. His last public appearance was on April 15, when he delivered an admirable address before the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society on " The Bermuda Islands and their Con- nection with New York."' He died suddenly of neuralgia of the heart at his home on upper Fifth Avenue, May 5, 1894, and was buried at Colchester, Conn. Mr. Brown was among the oldest surviving members of our Society, having been elected in 1872, and also among those most deeply interested in its welfare. He was for several years secretary of the Society, and also served as librarian and as trusstee. He married Miss Parsons, of Colchester, who, with four children, still survives him. w.

The Treat Family : A Genealogy of Trott, Tratt and Treat for fifteen generations and four hundred and fifty years in England and America. Containing more than fifteen hundred families in America, with illustrations, autographs, and a map of Somersetshire. By John Harvey Treat, A. M., Salem, Mass. Press Publishing Com- pany, 1893, pp. 637.

The author, who is a distinguished descendant of the Rev. Samuel Treat, of East- ham, Mass., the eldest son of Gov. Robert Treat of Connecticut, has executed a 1894.] Book Notices. a \ q really magnificent work—a monument of care, patience and ability. It must rank among, if not with, the first of American genealogies. It was designed at first by the author to write up simply his own line, but the work grew on his hands until he has made a full and complete record of the entire Treat family. The earliest records are those of John Trott,of Staplegrove, near Taunton in Eng- land, the grandfather of Richard Trott, from whom the line of descent can be traced without any difficulty. His name occurs in the calendar of the Taunion Manor Roles. 145s, 1463. 1473, 1479. He was probably the father of William Trott, whose name occurs in these calendars as of the same parish and hundred of Staplegrove, 1503, 1504, 1510. In this country the name of Richard Trott (Robert, Richard, William, John) first occurs in 1641, in the entry of certain lands in Wethersfield, in his name. He came to New England as early as 1639. His youngest child, Katharine, was baptized in Pitminster, Eng., June 29, 1637. His family consisted of a wife and nine children —three sons and six daughters. He was born, 15S4, in Pitminster, died, 1669-70, in Wethersfield, Conn., married Alice Gaylard, April 27, 1615. The three sons of Richard are taken as founders of separate families, and their issue herein recorded, viz.: of

Richard, pp. 35-129 ; of Robert, pp. 130-1S4; and of James, pp. 488-533. Robert Treat, of all the characters in this history, stands out in the grandest relief. Every honor that was possible was given him, both under the New Haven and the Con- necticut colony. His history is that of the Colonial War during its most heroic period. He was the commander-in-chief of the Connecticut forces in the great swamp fight ; in 1676 deputy governor, and in 1683 Governor of Connecticut. He served in that place fifteen years, retired from old age, and died July, 12, 1710, aged eighty- eight years. His history in Newark has never been fully written. He headed the forty-one brave men from Milford, who, with twenty-three others from Branford, founded the colony at Newark in 1666. In the division of the land Treat received two acres more than any of the others on account of his distinguished services. He was burgess or deputy at the first provincial assembly, holding that for five years. He was the first town clerk, and occupied various other positions of trust in the town. In 1672 he returned to Connecticut, leaving his daughter Mary, the wife of Azariah Crane, who inherited the valuable property referred to, being eight acres extending from Broad Street to Mulberry Street, and south to that amount of land, about the most valuable property in Newark to-day. The descendants of this Crane are those of this name who have inhabited what is now Montclair, giving to it its solid character. He also left his son John at Newark, who married Sarah Tichenor ; was " a justice to keep the peace"' in the county of Essex under Cornbury ; in 1709 was representative of Essex in the Assembly, when one qualification was 1,000 acres or

i'1 personal estate in was presiding in court ; in £s°° ; 1712 judge 1713 was Major Treat. He died August 1, 1714, leaving his estate to his daughter Sarah, who married Jonathan Crane, who was the son of the distinguished Jasper Crane and Joanna Swaine, daughter of Captain Swaine, an officer in the Colonial War. Descended from Sarah was the late Alfred C. Post, surgeon of this city, and also Dr. Gabriel Grant, who served during the late war as surgeon of volunteers, and is now a member of this society. G.

History of the Moore Family, and an account of their reunion in 1890.

By David Fellows Moore, under the direction of the Historical Committee ; with a Genealogical Record by Charles Church Moore. Royal Svo, pp. 409. Binghamton, Samuel P. Moore, 1893. The ideal family history has yet to be written, but the compilers of this work have done much towards its production. Unlike many similar works, it is the result of concerted action by the widely scattered members of the family, intelligently directed. The outcome is a history replete with interest. The family thus honored is the family of John Moore, of Forres, and Betty Taylor, his wife, of the neighboring town of Elgin, Elginshire, Scotland, who emigrated to America in 1772, and after the Revolution settled at Moresville, Delaware Co., N. Y. Twelve hundred and sixteen of his descendants are traced, with one hundred and sixty-seven biographical sketches among which there is an excellent one of Jay Gould, the Ameri- sister, can financier, prepared by his Mrs. Sarah B. Northrop, of Camden, N. J. There is a complete family chart, a connected genealogy, a copious index, and over one hundred illustrations. There is also a history of the Moore family in Scotland, and of the old home at Forres, together with a full report of the papers read and the speeches made at the Notices. u I cq Book [J ty»

gathering of the clan at Roxbury, N. Y., in iSgo, all of which is exceedingly interesting even to those who are not of the family. The work is of such exceptional merit, it will tend to awaken the slumbering spirit of genealogical research and lead to the reunion of other families. It would have been of greater excellence if more attention had been given to maternal ancestry. The mothers should not be forgotten. F. w. w.

The First Presbyterian Church of Paterson, N. J. Records of Trustees and Session. Compiled and edited by William Nelson. Svo, pp. 482. Paterson, N. J., 1893. This is not a history of the above-named church, but a publication of the Minutes of the Board of Trustees, from 1813 to 1891, of miscellaneous documents connected with the history of the church, and of the Minutes of the Session from 1S13 to 1892, with a full index, and notes making plain the text. The value of such works to the local historian can scarcely be estimated. They give us knowledge of those whose lives have moulded the character of cities, towns, and villages, but of whom, as of the great majority of mankind, there is no trumpet-tongued fame.

" Noble deeds are held in honor, but the wide world sorely needs Hearts of patience to unravel this, the worth of common deeds."

Every church owes it to those who have given it a name and a place on the earth, or who have nurtured and maintained its life, to put the records of the past in permanent form through the labors of the printing press. The amount of information concerning individuals, such as is needed for local and family histories, that is now hidden in church records that are rapidly perishing, is well-nigh incalculable. If in rescuing from destruction the records of the church he has served for years Mr. Nelson shall incite others to perform a similar work, he will receive the thanks, in ages to come, of all who are interested in historical research and the simple annals of mankind.

Genealogy of the Pelton Family in America. Being a record of the descendants of John Pelton, who settled in Boston, Mass., about 1630-1632, and died in Dorchester, Mass., January 23, i68r. By Jeremiah M. Pelton. Joel Mun- sell's Sons, Albany, N. Y., 1892. Too much praise cannot be accorded to Mr. Pelton for the extremely thorough manner in which he has compiled this history of his family. More than a thousand names are introduced, and in a valuable appendix of one hundred pages is given an index of the males born in the name of Pelton, an index of females born in the name of Pelton, an index of surnames other than Pelton, and an index of names of places mentioned in the work of upwards of seven hundred octavo pages. There are nineteen well-executed portraits included in the portly volume. To a member of the

Pelton family and a niece of Samuel J. Tilden the city of New York is under great obligations. Mrs. Hazard inherited $3,000,000 from his estate, and voluntarily released two-thirds of that large amount, enabling the Tilden trustees to establish the Free Library he intended to give to the city. w.

Mather Genealogy. Lineage of the Rev. Richard Mather. By Horace E. Mather, of Hartford, Conn. Press of The Case, Lockwood & Brainard Co.. of Hartford, 1890. Sq. Svo, cloth, pp. 540, with illustrations.

This book is an excellent example of the work of the genealogical student. The author, like many others, commenced with the simple desire to know something about

his family ; his interest grew with his task through thirteen years of work, and he certainly has gathered a vast amount of valuable data. The Rev. Richard Mather, the first of the family in America, was a man of strong personality, which has made its impression upon many of his descendants, over eighty of whom, like himself, have been numbered among the clergy, the more notable being the Rev. Dr. Increase

Mather and the Rev. Dr. Cotton Mather ; the volume contains a catalogue of their many writings, and is rich in biographical matter. The female lines are well carried out and carefully indexed. The plan of giving the year of birth in the index of

names is a good one ; the addition of an index of places would have been an improvement. H. D. L. i8 9 4.] Book Notices. !5I

General Scott, by Marcus J. Wright. General Washington, by Bradley T. Johnson. D. Appleton & Co., New York, 1894. The biographies of Washington by General Johnson of the Maryland bar, and Scott by General Wright of the War Department, Washington, are the latest additions to General Wilson's " Lives of Great Commanders." We have now, for the first time, a satisfactory life of General W infield Scott, the conqueror of Mexico, as well as one of the young heroes of the war of 1812; and also curiously enough, although more than a hundred biographies have appeared, the first life of Washington as a soldier, and written by a soldier. General Johnson's work cannot fail to attract attention. It has the sustained interest of a romance, and throws new light on Brad- dock's campaign, and the gallant and successful efforts of Washington and his Virgin- ians to save the English command from total destruction. With the exception of the battle of New Orleans it was one of the most disastrous defeats ever sustained by a British army. \v.

• Genealogy of the Barber-Eno Family, of Homer, N. Y. Newark, N. J., 1893. Svo, muslin, pp. 40. This little book traces the Barbour-Barber family from the history of Norlhfield, Mass., traditions, and records in possession of Samuel McC. Barber, of Troy, N. Y., showing the descendants of Lieut. Thomas, who came to Dorchester, Mass., 1635, through Samuel of the second, David of the third, David, Jr., of the fourth, and Aaron of the fifth generation. Sixteen pages are given to Jedediah, son of Aaron; eight pages to Paris, his son ; seven to Mrs. Jane Eno Barber, ncc Lydia Jane Eno, who married Paris Barber. The Eno family appear on pages 32 and 33, being three generations from James, of Windsor, Conn. Every publication of this kind helps to preserve something of value, but, however small, an index is very important, as it saves reading the entire book for the searcher who seeks a single name. R.

This book is the extremely valuable result of long, patient, and loving research into the history of a community, and is an example worthy of emulation to the highest degree by all local historians. Mr. Roe has left no stone unturned to give his readers the fullest and most complete information concerning events and people connected with his native town and its neighborhood, and he deserves the heartiest thanks and congratulations, not only of his fellow-townsmen, but of all who are interested in the study of local history and genealogy. The illustrations are excellent, and the book is handsomely printed and bound.

Sanford Genealogy. The branch of William, of Madison, N. Y. By Heman Howe Sanford, Syracuse, N. Y., 1894. Pamphlet, 8vo, pp. 70.

The plan of this work is not the N. E. Register arrangement ; and, though it is simple and good, there is no reason for variety, and we think uniformity is preferable. It is a genealogy proper, and has the advantage of getting together the names, dates, and addre-ses, and showing the connection almost as plainly as a chart. It is not as readable as those which have biographical and historical padding, but is the framework on which any one can fill in family record and reminiscence ad libitum. The Society has bound this with other families beginning with the same initial letter. R. H. G.

Cnl, WILLIAM STEPHENS SMITH, THE NEW YORK dntcalogical aitir ^Biographical JUcotl

Vol. XXV. NEW YORK, OCTOBER, 1894. No. 4.

COLONEL WILLIAM STEPHENS SMITH.

By Marcius D. Raymond.

In 1776, an ardent and gifted youth tendering his sword in defence liberties of the of his country ; in 1876, an unmarked grave in a rural hamlet in Central New York. Between, a life of more than usual dramatic and historic interest. A son of New York, born in this city, he here entered upon his career, and spent most of his life in this vicinage. And William Stephens Smith was well born and of worthy ancestry. He was the eldest of a family of four sons and six daughters, the date of his birth being November 8, 1755. His father, John Smith, who was a prosperous merchant of New York City, and who had a country seat at Throgg's Neck in Westchester County, had married Margaret Stephens, the daughter of Capt. John Stephens of New York, where she was born in May, 1739. Her mother's name was Belinda Bush, who it is stated was born in Holland and educated in a convent. She was a Tory, and did all she could to prevent her ardent and patriotic grandson, William Stephens Smith, from espousing the cause of the Colonies. It is said she remained in the city of New York during the whole period of the war, visited, by the permission of the British Commandant, from time to time by her daughter. She lived to be about ninety years of age. Her husband, Capt. John Stephens, who was an officer in the British service, was killed in action on board a man-of-war at Carthagena before the Revolu- tion. Mrs. Margaret Stephens Smith is said to have been a very handsome and brilliant woman. Her memory is still cherished by her descendants, and a great-great-granddaughter, now a resident of Utica, writes: "Her portrait is to me beautiful, and for her character I have always felt greatest admiration." And she had in her something of the heroic spirit of those times, for it is said that when the British were sailing up the Sound prior to landing at Throgg's Neck, in October, 1776, the commanding officer ordered every dwelling to be cannonaded. She had been notified of this, but as the vessels came in sight, with folded arms she walked up and down the piazza in plain view of the enemy, who in compliment to her courage turned their guns in other directions. She died at Lebanon, Madison County, N. Y., April 1, 181 2, and was buried on Sherburne West Hill, Chenango County, N. Y. Her husband, John Smith, the father of Col. Wm. S., had died in the borough of Westchester, in 1785. William Smith, the father of John and grandfather of William Stephens Smith, had married Charity Bosch, daughter of Justus Bosch, of Rye, Westchester County, who gave her a bequest by will, date of 1739. John Smith and William Smith and Capt. John Stephens were all prominent Colonel William Stephens Smith. [Oct., 1 54

members of the old Presbyterian Church, formerly in Wall Street, as early as 1766. Colonel Smith's brothers, James, John, and Justus B., at some period during or after the Revolution, held commissions in the army, and were men of some distinction. James Smith married Ann Ross and lived for many years in Eastchester, Westchester County ; and St. Paul's Church, there located, has evidence in its communion service of gifts from members of his family. The late James Stoughton Lynch, Esq., of Utica, was his grandson. The other brothers were unmarried. A sister, Sarah Smith, who married Charles Adams, son of President John Adams, and brother of Mrs. Colonel Smith, left two daughters, one of whom, named Abigail Smith Adams, married Alexander Bryan Johnson, formerly of Utica, and was the mother of the late Judge A. S. Johnson, of that city, and of Mrs. Sarah Lynch, also of Utica, and of William C. Johnson, of Newburyport, Mass., who married a granddaughter of John Quincy Adams. His sister, Margaret Smith, married Felix de St. Hilaire. His sister Belinda married Matthew Clarkson, of the noted family of that name. His brother John was a lieutenant in the Revolution, commissioned as captain in 1789, major, 1796, and lieutenant-colonel, 1799. Settled in South Carolina and died there. Ann, the youngest daughter of the family, who married Josiah Masters, of Schagticoke, was the last survivor. She was long a resident of Ham- ilton, Madison County. She had at one time a large property, inherited from her husband and the family estate, or the Jaunceys of New York, to whom the Smith family were related, and lived in great style. She was a noted character in her day, and is still well remembered by many who knew her, among them the writer. This much of family history to attest the title of William Stephens Smith to good ancestry. Colonel Smith graduated at Princeton in 1774, and then entered upon the study of law with Samuel Jones, Esq., of New York, but, like many another American youth, he was all aglow with patriotism, and at the first clash of arms he enlisted in the patriot cause. He was soon after appointed aide-de-camp to General Sullivan, with the rank of major, and served in that capacity in the unfortunate and disastrous battle of Long Island, where Sullivan was captured and he himself was for a short time in the enemy's hands. But he succeeded in escaping, and in the action at Harlem Heights, which soon after followed, he served on the staff of General Greene, and was wounded on the field. He remained under the surgeon's charge at the family homestead on Throgg's Neck, until the British troops landed there in their advance toward White Plains, and then, though still suffering from his wound, he rallied a handful of men to oppose their advance, and so succeeded in destroying the bridge at the crossing to the mainland that they were hindered several hours, while he and his retainers made their escape by horse and on foot into Connecti- cut. General Howe made the Smith mansion his headquarters during his stay at the Neck. The family, being forced to abandon everything, finally took refuge within the enemy's lines, in the city of New York, being thereby reduced from affluence to a condition of destitution and suffering—the wife and children helpless, and the husband and sons 1894.] Colonel William Stephens Smith. jcr among the patriot refugees. At this time, in their distressed circumstances, a great temptation came to the young patriot soldier. In hope of getting some relief, his mother went to General Howe, the British commander. He received her kindly, said he was aware of her peculiar circumstances, that he knew her eldest son was an officer in the Provin-

cial army ; supposed he had very naturally been carried away by the

ardor of a young man for the military profession ; "begged her to make him his compliments," and to tell him that if he had a taste for army life a commission as major in his Majesty's service was at his disposal ; in which case he assured her, on his honor as a gentleman and soldier, that if she returned with her family her property should be restored and ail their losses be made good. It is said that she was inclined to relent, but the young patriot spurned the proffered bribe so offered. Soon after this, Major Smith, cured of his wound, presented himself with a flag of truce at the advanced outpost of the enemy, with letters from Generals Greene and Lee to General Howe, asking that Mrs. Smith and her family be permitted to pass without the lines. Friends in the city urged them to remain, but Mrs. Smith's decision was to go, with her husband and

sons ; and so the family removed to Worthington, Conn., where they remained unmolested until the close of the Revolutionary war. Having resisted this great and insidious temptation, Colonel Smith entered with renewed ardor and determination upon his career as a patriot in arms. He participated in the battle of White Plains and the military movements that followed. In the memorable action at Trenton, so important and decisive, he acted a conspicuous part, entering the town with the advance of Sullivan's division, and subsequently, as is related, personally took the commanding officer of the Hessian troops from his horse at the moment of surrender, a feat of arms that attracted the attention of Washington, who presented him with a lieutenant-colonelcy as a mark of his particular consideration. He afterwards joined the Thir- teenth Massachusetts Continental Regiment, being appointed to that service at Valley Forge, the crucial hour of the heroic struggle. With that regiment he took part in the battle of Monmouth, and from there went to Rhode Island, where he did good service in the attempted reduc- tion of Newport. Gen. Joseph Wheaton, of Rhode Island, writes under date of September 15, 1820, the original of which is still preserved, saying it was there "I became better acquainted with Colonel Smith. I well recollect his activity and usefulness in selecting the ground for our batteries, and his being at various times on picket guard and with rec- onnoitring parties, and particularly of his being on that service on the night the army retired to Butt's Hill. He was brought into action three times that day." Colonel Smith participated in 1779 in the famous Sullivan expedition against the Indians of Pennsylvania and Western New York as commander of Spencer's New Jersey regiment, and there did good service. In the campaign of 1780 he distinguished himself at the historic battle of Generals Springfield, N. J., winning the thanks of Greene and Washington for his gallant conduct. In January, 1781, Colonel Smith was ordered to join a corps of light infantry, commanded by the Marquis de Lafayette, of which he was appointed adjutant and inspector-general.

It was there that Colonel Smith was the recipient of the high honor of being appointed an aide to Washington, and so became a member of his military family, which position he continued to hold until the close of the war and the disbandment of the army. To quote again from General

Wheaton : "As I was at headquarters, and frequently dined with General Washington at Philadelphia, after the siege, it was very discern- ible, General Washington's particular and marked attention to Colonel Smith. Also on an excursion General Washington made to the north, in the summer of 1783, to Albany, Saratoga, Ticonderoga and Crown Point, where I commanded the General Guard, and where General Washington, Colonel Smith and myself were often covered by the same tent." During the pendency of negotiations for peace Colonel Smith was appointed to command the advance post of the continental army at Dobbs Ferry, Westchester County, and, as acting commissary-general of prisoners, had charge of all communications with the British forces still in New York. At his headquarters there, a meeting was had by arrangement of Colonel Smith between Sir Guy Carlton and General Wash- ington, he introducing them to each other. After this interview Colonel Smith was appointed a commissioner to reside near Carlton, and at the evacuation of New York was the acting officer of the day who relieved the British Guards, and to him the city and country were officially surrendered. But this is only a brief sketch of a brilliant military career that covered the entire period of the Revolution, without any lapse or apparent mar upon it, he having never been taken prisoner, nor brought under censure of superiors, nor been absent from duty. Indeed,, a rare record. The following testimonial given him by Washington, of the date of June 24, 1782, contains a resume of his honorable record as a

soldier, and is worth a whole volume of common praise :

Lieut. Col. W. S. Smith entered the services of the United States at the commencement of the present war. In August, 1776 he was appointed aid-de-camp to Major General Sullivan with the rank of Major in the Army. On the first of January 1777, he was promoted to be a Lieutenant Colonel in one of the additional battalions raised by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. After which he had the honor of serving as Inspector and Adjutant General to the Corps of Light Infantry under the command of Major General the Marquis de LaFayette, in the campaign of 1780 ; and in the month of July, 1781, he was appointed aid-de-camp to the Commander-in

Chief of the American Armies ; in all which military stations have behaved with great fidelity, bravery and good conduct. During the course of service Colonel Smith has had many opportunities of signalizing himself by his gallantry, intelligence, and professional, knowledge, in several battles, enterprises and seiges at which he has been present, particularly in the actions on Long Island and Harlem Heights, at the seige of Newport, in the expedition under the order of Major General Sullivan against the savages, in the battle of Springfield, where he commanded a Regiment, the successful seige of York in Virginia, where the army of Lord Cornwallis surrendered prisoners of war, and on many other important occasions. In consequence of which he hath merited my approbation and this testimony of his being a brave and valuable officer. Given under my hand and seal at the headquarters of the American Army, the 24th of June, 1782. G. WASHINGTON.

Colonel Smith afterwards commanded the Ninth United States Infan- try, and was nominated for brigadier-general, but this must suffice for his military record. i8 9 4.] Colonel William Stephens Smith. 157

Soon after the close of the war he was appointed Secretary of Legation to England, by the votes of thirl\ -six out ol thirty-seven senators present in Congress, and so in 1784 he went abroad, and while There, besides attending to his duties at the Court of St. James, he officially visited the Spanish Court at Lisbon, arranging the business committed to his care in a manner highly satisfactory to the Government. He also made quite a tour of Europe, being everywhere received with honor. While at London he met Abigail Adams, the only and accomplished daughter of John Adams, then Minister Plenipotentiary to Great Britain, and that fallowed which has often happened before in song and story to the brae and fair. But from letters written to his intimate friend and fellow soldier, Col. Samuel B. Webb, it appears that he had been gallant to other ladies before he capitulated to the fair and stately Abigail. After a courtship of some two years, his marriage with Miss Adams was duly celebrated at London, June 12, 1786, the Bishop of St. Asaph officiating. In this connection, it is a singular coincidence that her mother's name was Abigail Smith before marriage, and that by marriage she herself should have become another Abigail Smith. He returned in 1788, though he afterwards revisited Europe on business and pleasure. Colonel Smith was one of the originators of the Society of Cincinnati, was Secretary of the New York division in 1790, Vice-President in 1794, and President of the Society 1795-97. On the 26th of September, 1789, General Wash- ington, then President, appointed him United States Marshal of the District of New York, and afterwards Supervisor of the Revenue. On June 24, 1800, President {ohn Adams appointed him Surveyor of the Port of New York. Colonel Smith now seemed to be at the zenith of his brilliant career. He was successful, prosperous, popular. He was a brave soldier, a gallant cavalier, and a gentleman of varied attainments, well fitted to win honor at Court or on the field. His father-in-law, John Adams, was President of the United States, and he himself was in high office. At that time he had a summer residence at Eastchester. In a letter dated there October 12, 1797, President Adams writes: "I arrived here at Colonel Smith's last night with my family, and shall make this house my home until we can go on to Philadelphia." A cut of that house appears in Scharf's " History of the County of Westchester." At the same time he had a fine house in town, still standing near Avenue A, on Sixty-first Street. At the sale by the State of the so-called Twenty Townships in Central New York, in 1789, representing a syndicate made up in part of foreign capitalists, he had purchased six whole townships of land in the present counties of Madison and Chenango, including the town of Sher- were days of prosperity, burne, the early home of the writer ; but if they he appears to have spent too liberally if not lavishly, and too rashly discounted the future. His naturally restless ambition, stimulated to unnatural excess by the exciting events of the Revolutionary war, devel- oped even in peaceful times along the lines of greater risk and adventure, and the ambitious spirit longed for other worlds to conquer. As early as June 25, 1782, in writing to Gov. George Clinton concerning the adjust- '" I ment of his accounts, Colonel Smith made this significant statement : leave this place (headquarters of the army at Newburgn) with permission to join the combined forces in the West Indies." 'Phis seems to be almost prophetic of what afterwards occurred, but for the time being he 153 Colonel William Stephens Smith. [Oct., then appears to have been persuaded from his purpose, although later, and at a time when all the skies were bright, he became involved in the unfortunate and at least ill-timed Miranda expedition to an extent that threatened to be very disastrous to him. Colonel Smith, as already stated, was a bold, adventurous spirit, and with his strong patriotic impulses he very naturally, and to his credit be it said, sympathized with the movements for liberty in all parts of the world. The ill-starred Miranda expedition was undertaken by Francisco Miranda, a Spanish patriot, for the liberation of the Spanish colonies in South America. Colonel Smith had made the acquaintance of General Miranda while abroad. There came to be very close relations between them, and thus he became complicated in that undertaking, his eldest son, William Steuben Smith, going out with Miranda as adjutant. The result was, on complaint of the Spanish Government, Colonel Smith was tried for connection with it, before the United States Supreme Court, the case commencing in April, 1806, and continuing until the July following, when he was acquitted of the charge. It was claimed that those high in authority had connived at the undertaking, and that they were only too glad when the case was thrown out of court. Unquestionably this was very humiliating and annoying to John Adams (then ex-Presi- dent), with all his strict punctiliousness and high ideas of honor and rectitude. For some time after that episode it is said that their relations were somewhat strained, though letters of a later date indicate restored confidence and reconciliation. And then financial disasters followed his other misfortunes, necessi- tating his removal with his family, in 1S07 or 1808, to Lebanon, then of Chenango and now of Madison County, where two of his brothers resided, and where together they owned a large tract of mainly unim- proved lands. The place of their settlement has long been known as Smith's Valley, a point about three miles southwest of the village of Hamilton. He there erected a modest story-and-a-half house, in maiked distinction from the palatial residence on Sixty-first Street, New York, and the mansion in Eastchester. The building' is still standing, though now an adjunct to a more pretentious dwelling, and in other days was often pointed out to the writer as the early home of his mother, whose father succeeded the Smiths in possession. The family of Colonel Smith occupied that place as their residence until 1813, Mrs. Smith having died on the 14th of August of that year, while at the home of her father in Quincy, Mass., at the age of forty- eight. She must have been a rarely attractive woman, of great charm and loveliness. A portrait by Copley, engraved in steel, attests her beauty. Her memory may well be precious to her descendants. To her husband her loss was irreparable.

It is said that Colonel Smith had retired from public life to his farm in Lebanon, having previously declined important command in the army; but, at the election for Congress, held on the 16th and 17th of Decem- ber, 1S12, previous to the death of his wife, Colonel Smith had been chosen as member of the House of Representatives for the district comprising the counties of Madison and Herkimer, having a majority of three hundred and ninety-three over his competitor, Hubbard Smith, in a total vote of four thousand six hundred and twenty-nine. He was a Federalist, and acted with that party in Congress. 1894-] Colonel William Stephens Smith. r eg

This election must have been very gratifying to him as a maik of confidence and esteem coming to him in the days of his adversity. At the succeeding election he was defeated by Wetsel Willoughby, by a small majority, the Federal party being then out of power and on the wane. The certificate of election was given to Colonel Smith, owing to an informality in a portion of the vote of his opponent, though it appears that he made no opposition to Mr. Willoughby taking his seat. Two of Colonel Smith's brothers had died quite suddenly in March, 18 16, and he did not long survive, having died at his residence in the town of Lebanon, June 10, 1816. In a letter from Miss Elizabeth Adams, of Quincy, Mass., it is called New Lebanon, while the place of death of his father, John Smith, is designated as ''Lebanon, in the borough of Westchester." Who of our local historians can give the boundaries and

locale of that earlier but now obliterated Lebanon ? It certainly appears to have been the predecessor, if not the ancestor, of its later namesake in

Madison County, the nomenclature of which was probably given it by the Smith family, who also gave the name o( Smith's Valley to the hamlet where they resided. At the time of Colonel Smith's death none of his family were remaining there, his eldest son, William Steuben Smith, who was a sole executor

and legatee, being at that time a resilient of the city of New York ; but his daughter, Mrs. DeWindt, hurried to him from her home on the Hud- son in time to be present in the last days of his illness. He died on the evening of the 10th of June, 18 16, and the notice of the executor was published in New York on the 22d of that month, naming his office at 6 Vesey Street. The Society of the Cincinnati published official announce- ment of his death on |une 17.

Colonel Smith left surviving him three children : William Steuben Smith, John Adams Smith, and Caroline Amelia, who had married John Peter DeWindt, of Fishkill-on-the-Hudson, son of John DeWindt, of New York, an old and honorable family who inherited a large estate, ['he eldest son, William Steuben, married Miss Catharine Johnson, but left no issue. He died at Newburg, N. Y., May 12, 1850. John Adams Smith is said to have been at one time Secretary of Lega- tion at St. Petersburg!!. He was a lawyer, and was in practice for a few years at Hamilton, N. Y. Was unmarried. Caroline Amelia, the only daughter of Colonel and Mrs. Smith, who married Mr. John P. DeWindt, and lived at Fishkill. had eight children, of whom five survive, as follows : Mrs. Monell, widow of Judge Monell Arthur and formerly Mrs. A. J. Downing ; Mrs. Clarence Cook, and Mr.

DeWindt, all of Fishkill ; Mrs. C. P. Cranch, of Cambridge, Mass. ; and Mrs. Gabriel Furman, of East Orange, N.J. Mr. Arthur DeWindt served with distinction in the late war for the Union, holding a commission as captain in the 128th N. V. V. A son of his is a member of the Society of Cincinnati. The DeWindts are patriotic, cultured people, and it is enough to say that they are worthy of their distinguished ancestry. Mis. DeWindt, the only daughter of Colonel and Mrs. Smith, was lost in that terrible tragedy, the burning of the steamboat Henry Clay, which occurred on the Hudson, near Yonkers, July 28, 1852. Her son-in-law, Andrew Jackson Downing, the noted landscape artist, also lost his life by that same catastrophe. Mrs. Downing, who was on board, was among the 160 Colonel William Stephens Smith. [Oct,, saved. The portrait of Mrs. DeWindt shows her a beautiful woman, with a striking resemblance to her mother. She was a lady of literary taste, and a choice little volume by her, published in 1841, entitled, "Journal and Correspondence of Miss Adams," contains a memoir of Colonel Smith, which has much aided in the preparation of this sketch. An engraving of Colonel Smith has been prepared from a portrait of him by Trumbull, now in the possession of his granddaughter, Mrs. Fur- man, of East Orange, N. J., and which, though injured by the fire which destroyed the DeWindt mansion at Fishkill many years ago, is still an object of no little interest. He is also represented in a group of distinguished officers in an engraving made at the time of his visit to Frederick the Great, and struck off in honor of the occasion, of which his grandson, Arthur DeWindt, Esq., of Fishkill, has a copy. Mrs. John Adams, writing to her sister, Mrs. Cranch, in 1786, just prior to the marriage of her daughter, says of Colonel Smith : "Your niece is engaged to a gentleman worthy of her ; one whom you will be proud to take by the hand and own as a nephew. With regard to his per-

son, he is tall, slender, and a good figure ; a complexion naturally dark, but made still more so by seven years' service in the field. He appears a gentleman in every thought, word, and action."

He was buried, it appears, at some distance from the place of his residence and death, in the town of Sherburne, Chenango County, in a plot which had been reserved by his brother Justus B. in the gift of a burial- place to the Second Congregational Society and Church located at Sher- burne West Hill, sometimes in the early days called Lvnde's Hill, where his mother and his B. his brother Justus , probablv brother James, and his nephew, Charles Clarkson, son of Matthew M. and Belinda Smith Clark- son, were also buried. But, strange to relate, for over seventy-two years there was no stone to mark his last resting-place, and all knowledge of the spot had been lost to his descendants, who were living far from those scenes yet, happily, the memory of the fact had survived in that locality ; for more than two generations, and knowledge of it coming to the writer, whose kindred sleep near by, it was a labor of love to gather up the broken threads of memory and tradition from many sources, until it was made so clear that it was the place where the distinguished soldier and civilian was buried, that his honored descendants, the DeW^indts, lost no time in putting up a memorial stone to mark the spot. It was placed in position there in November, 1888, and was an act creditable to the great- grandchildren of President John Adams. No longer any doubt remains as to .where sleeps this brave and distinguished soldier of the Republic. The stone there set up bears the

following inscriptions :

Here lie the remains of Colonel William Stephens Smith, Who died at Lebanon, N. Y., June 10, 18 16, Aged 59 years.

On another side of the monument :

The following is a brief summary of Colonel Smith's record : "Born

1 Member of Congress, 1812-14. Died June 10, 8 1 6 ; buried on Sher- burne West Hill." Of Colonel Smith it may well be said, " His illustrious career is more imperishable than 'storied urn or monumental bust ;' " and what could be sweeter than that amid those rural scenes his manly form should rest on the bosom of mother earth on such a heaven-kissed hill, where " no " bugle sounds reveille !

THE END.

EVIDENCES OF THE DERIVATION OF THE RUGGLES FAM- ILIES OF ENGLAND AND AMERICA FROM THAT OF RUGGELEY OF STAFFORDSHIRE.

By Henry Stoddard Ruggles, Esq., of Wakefield, Mass.

Both the English and American Ruggles families trace their descent from Thomas Ruggles, Esq., of Sudbury, Suffolk, England, whose will was of date June 21, 1547, in the following lines : 1 2 English Family : Thomas of Sudbury, Suffolk ; Nicholas of Sud- 3 4 5 bury ; George of Sudbury ; George of Sudbury John of Booking, ; Essex 7 ; John" of Booking ; Thomas of Booking ; Thomas" of Clare, 9 Suffolk ; Thomas of Spains Hall, Braintree, Essex of Spains ; John' Hall, Essex and Clare, Suffolk, who by royal license assumed the surname of Brise in addition to that of Ruggles, and whose son is the present Colonel Samuel B. Ruggles-Brise of Spains Hall, Essex, and Cavendish Hall, Sudbury, Suffolk.

American : Family Thomas' of Sudbury, Suffolk ; Nicholas" of Sud- 3 4 bury ; Thomas of Sudbury ; Thomas of Sudbury, Suffolk, Nasing, •Essex (1620), and Roxbury, Mass. (1637). The arms borne by Thomas Ruggles, Esq., of Sudbury (1547), were : Argent, a chevron between three roses gules ; Crest—a lower or, faming at the top proper and transfixed with four arrows in saltire argent, which were precisely the same as those of Ruggeley of Staffordshire. Certain mod- ern English works on heraldry describe the arms of Thomas Ruggles, " Esq., above, with the roses seeded or, awned vert" ; but the introduction of these tinctures is believed to be a recent innovation, for in John Sydney Hawkins's " Life of George Ruggles " (who died in 1622) —which was published by T. Payne & Son of London, in 1787, and which had the sanction of the then English representative of the lamily—-the bearings are given with the roses gules only, exactly the blazon of Ruggeley found 1894.] The Ruggles Families of England and America. i5c

" " in the Heralds' Visitation of Staffordshire. There is, however, evidence that this same variation from the original shield had claimants in the house of Ruggeley, for in St. Ives's Church, Huntingdonshire, where the last survivors of that name in England were found, is a window showing three shields of Ruggelev arms, and on each of these the roses appear seeded or, awned vert. The only persons now living of that family are the descendants of Henry Rugeley (the name is spelled with one g in later times), of South Carolina, who adhered to the Royal cause in our Revolutionary war, and held a colonel's commission from Lord Rawdon ; and A. J. Rugeley, Esq., of New Orleans, his great-grandson, has now in his possession a coat-of-arms like those upon the window of the church of St. Ives. The same deviation being found both in Ruggeley and Ruggles is remarkable. Hawkins has the following regarding the early history of the family of Ruggles: "His father was descended from an ancient and reputable family of the name of Ruggeley, who were originally of Staffordshire, and were, says Sir William Dugdale, 'gentlemen of good note, for so early as the twenty-sixth year of the reign of Edward I., I find William de Rug- gele recorded with an encomium for having performed faithful service to the king in his army in Flanders, and in the tenth, thirteenth, and four- teenth of Edward III. mention is made of Simon de Ruggeley, who was then sheriff of the counties of Salop and Stafford.' The earliest information I have been able to obtain touching the place of their first settlement is, that in the tenth year of Henry V., and perhaps for some time before, they resided at Hawkesbeard in Staffordshire, but am inclined to think that they were not only originally settled at but that they even received their surname from a market town named Ruggeley in Staffordshire, which in the maps is laid down as situated a few miles beyond Lichfield, on the road from London to Chester, and that from this place it was that they removed to Hawkesbeard. To support this conjecture here advanced, little more will be necessary than to observe that the two earliest persons of this family whose names have anywhere been found are both described with the Latin preposition De prefixed to their surnames in the records in which their names respectively occur; the former of the two is styled William de Ruggele, the latter, Simon de Ruggeley. Camden, speaking of the etymology of surnames, says that all which in Latin old evidences have had De prefixed to them were borrowed from places, and this distinction of local names with De was uniformly observed in records till about the time of Edward IV. The name Ruggeley as applied to a place, though the time of its assumption is much too distant to enable us to decide with certainty, is most probably of Anglo-Saxon origin, signify- ing rough or rugged land, and might very properly refer to the unculti- vated state of the place at the time it was thus named. From Hawkesbeard, in consequence of a purchase of an estate which he had made in War- wickshire, Nicholas Ruggeley, Esq., removed about the tenth of Henry V. to Dunton, in that county, where he became the founder of a new family. About the beginning of the sixteenth century a younger branch of this family removed first into Lincolnshire, and very shortly afterward to Suffolk." " Wright's History of Essex," England, quotes in brief this statement of Hawkins's in giving the origin of the Ruggles family of Suffolk and Essex. 1 66 Records of the Reformed Dutch Church in New York.

KING'S (NOW COLUMBIA) COLLEGE AND ITS EARLIEST ALUMNI.

By Richard H. Greene.

(Continued from Vol. XXV., p. 133.)

Class of 1762.

Edward Aniill was son of Hon. Edward Antill, who was a major in H. B. M. service in Canada before the Revolution. Edward Antill, the grandfather, was formerly of Richmond, County Surrey, Eng., merchant. He came to New York where he was practicing at the bar, the last of the sixteenth and early in the seventeenth century. His wife's name was

Sarah, and Edward was born June 17, 1701 ; married, June 10, 1739, Anne, daughter of Lewis Morris, Esq., Governor of New Jersey, and Isabella his wife. He resided at Raritan Landing, and it is said was remarkable for his eccentricities. Governor Morris recommended him for the Council, 1740 and 1745. He was also named as superintendent of a lottery, in 1759, to raise £1500 for completing the Episcopal church at New Brunswick. He gave £1800 towards founding King's College. He was a member of

the General Assembly, 1738 ; of the Council, 1 74 1 , 1746. He died August 15, 1770. Of his sons, two served in the Continental Army. Edward, the graduate, was born April 11, 1742. He was in Canada when

the war began ; and in Quebec, when the troops besieged that city in 1775, he refused to take up arms, and was sent out to the American lines, where General Montgomery assigned him to duty as chief engineer, and he was with that officer when he died, and bore the despatches from Wooster to Schuyler and Congress. He married, at Quebec, May 4, 1767 (the Rev. John Brooks, chaplain of the garrison, officiating), Char- lotte Riverin. She died at New York, September 3, 1785, aged thirty- two. He was commissioned lieutenant-colonel of Hazen's regiment, Janu- ary 22, 1776. An officer at Quebec writes of Hazen as then "under half pay, having raised 150 recruits in Canada, and the engineer, Col. Ed. Antill, as. his lieutenant-colonel, who had practiced law ten or twelve years in New York." This was March 8, 1776. In December he was sent to recruit in New Jersey and the Southern States, with the approbation of Washington, and Congress voted him $2000 for his expenses. Lt.-Col. Stephen Kemble wrote in his journal, August, 1777: ''My schoolmate, Antill, among the prisoners on Staten Island."

An aide-de-camp of General Pattison, August 7, 1 779, informed Colonel Antill and the officers on parole on Long Island, in reference to a con-

troversy with a sergeant of the guard at Flatbush : "They were in the wrong, and trusts care will be taken to prevent any more conflicts." Antill was an officer in the Second Continental Regiment, after his ex- change, which occurred November 2, 1780, until January 1, 1783, when he was retired. Col. Moses Hazen was commander during the entire and its 1894.] Earliest Alumni. 175 term. He had a daughter, Frances, who married Arthur Tappan, first president of the American Anti-Slavery Society. He died at St. John's, Canada, May 21, 1789, aged forty-seven years. Henry Cuyler was perhaps descended from Henry and Anna Cuyler of Albany, or Hendrick and Maria Jacobs, married 1710 ; or Henry, jun., and Alida Rynders, married March, 1743, in New York, but I have not found it. Henry Cuyler was a familiar name here. As early as 1689 one was commissioned major of militia, New York. As merchant and shipowner this name appears 1711, 1747, 1756, 1757. Sometimes it is "junior." In 1758 the junior was appointed Port Warden, New York, with Leonard Lispenard. I am quite at a loss to place the graduate. The Catalogue gives only his graduation and A. M., not even his death. He was perhaps a brother of Barent (1763). In 1769 an act was passed to indemnify the treasurers of the Colony (New jersey) for advancing money, in the controversy touching the boundary line, to the agents appointed by law. One of these agents was Henry Cuyler. He was. perhaps, the man ordered by the Provincial Congress to remove from his house in Newark on account of adherence to the crown, but permitted, by vote, July 17, 1776, because "so extremely indisposed as to render his removal very dangerous, " to remain for the present, give his parole, and a bond with security in penalty of £1000. He, or one of the name, married Catharine, daughter of Councillor John Barberie (Col- lector of the Port at Am boy, at his death, 1770) and Gertrude, daughter of Andrew Johnston, his wife. That family was loyal to the King. This Henry Cuyler died in Newark, May, 1774, aged twenty-eight. His widow is believed to have died at Amboy. They left several children. William Cornelius George appears as fifth among the graduates, of a class of forty-four, at Yale, the same year, and is believed to have died before 1770. He certainly could not have pursued his studies at both institutions at the same time, and where one is thus claimed by two, we naturally expect more to be known about him. John Grinnell, or Grenell, as it was spelled June 28, 1775, when he was appointed Captain, Second New York Regiment. He is called of Huntington, and his command the Suffolk Company. The Provincial

Congress, November 3, ordered Colonel McDougall to send Captain Grinnell, Third Regiment, New York Continentals, up to the fortifica- tions on the Hudson. December 6 they recommended that he be released from his present duty, and promoted captain of the company of Matrosses. January 22, 1776, he was appointed, accordingly, Captain New York Artillery. He signed a memorial to the New York Congress, February 21, and March 27 he resigned as Captain of Artillery. This was filed March 3c, 1776. I cannot say that he was a native of Huntington, and do not find any record of his after life or death. Alexander Leslie became Head Master of the Grammar School, succeeding Matthew Gushing, who was appointed 1763, but the date of his appointment or retiring does not appear, though William Cochran appears to succeed him in 1784. I do not think he remained until that date. He addressed Lord and Sir Wm. Howe 1776, which places him among the Loyalists, and seems to have married Mary Ellis, December 22, 1780. Leonard Lispenard, Jr., already alluded to, was born 1743, and baptized December 21. He was a merchant, and member of the New 176 King's College, New York Cily, [Oct.,

York Chamber of Commerce. He had an out-of-town house on Daven- port's Neck, New Rochelle. He was a man of culture and travel. He never married. It is not necessary to go into the pedigree of this family. was brother of Anthony (class of 76 son of Col. He 1 1 ), Leonard and Elsje, daughter of Anthony and Cornelia Rutgers. The father was an active patriot, member of Stamp Act Congress 1765, Committee of Fifty- one 1774, Committee of One Hundred 1775, and member of the Provin- cial Congress. His daughter Cornelia has also been mentioned as married to Thomas, brother of John Marston (1760). Col. Leonard Lispenard's father was Anthony (1683-175 5), of New Rochelle, N. Y., son of Antoine L'Espinard, the colonial baker at Albanv. IVm. Benj. Nicoll Maverick, born September 20, 1743, a descendant of Paul, of Boston, Mass., also of Benjamin Nicoll, of Islip, L. I., whose widow, Charity, daugher of Co!. Richard Floyd, married Dr. Samuel Johnson 1725, afterwards first president of King's College. She had by her first husband two sons who were both prepared by Dr. Johnson and graduated at Yale College, 1734 : Benjamin Nicoll and William Nicoll. Daniel Robert was loyal to the King and went to St. Christopher's, where he became Attorney General under the Colonial government.

1763.

Barent Cuyler. — I have failed to discover anything and the Catalogue tells us nothing of this man. Abraham De Peyster entered the King's service as Captain, New York Volunteers. He was second in command at King's Mountain 1780, and after the fall of Ferguson he hoisted the flag of surrender. After the peace he went to St. Johns, N.

Richard Harison is not unknown, and I would merely mention him, but I find his name does not appear in Drake's Biographical Dic-

tionary ; nor is it in Hough's Biographical Notes, which claims to take up the names omitted from Allen and Drake. Appleton's Cyclopaedia of American Biography also fails to mention him. He was vestryman, Trinity Church, N. Y., 1783, 1788-1811. Warden, 181 [-27. Secretary of the Board of Regents, July, 1784, to 1790. A lawyer and a federalist, he was appointed by President Washington United States District Attorney for New York, and acted in politics with Hamilton, Jay, and Livingston against Clinton and Burr. In 1788-89 he was member of the New York Legislature, and in the former year was also member of the convention which adopted the Federal Constitution, where his votes were in favor of its adoption. He was made Recorder of the City of New York February 15, 1798, and held this important office till August 25, 1801. He had sons and grandsons who graduated from the College. He received degree of D.C.L. from Oxford University, England.

State in every position. Though so small in numbers, it was a great class ; only three besides, to the present time, have a officer had cabinet ; no other has had a Chief Justice of the United States; but five others have given Governors to the State. This class alone, from the foundation of the College until it was closed on account of the war, was a unit for the Colonists against the King.

Egbert Benson is one of the brightest names among the graduates of King's College. Robert R. Livingston (only a little more known and honored) ranks close to Hamilton and Jay. These men need no searcher to. discover what they were and did. Richard Grant appears in the Catalogue, with neither letter nor date appended. He was called clerk, and in 1776 was appointed by Sir William Howe chaplain for the garrison at St. Johns. There was then one supporter of the King in the class of 1765. Grant had a daughter Anne, who married, in 1786, Sir Cornelius Cuyler, Baronet, a native of this Colony, who was born in Albany, October 31, 1740; her family succeeded to the title. Arent Schuyler was born 1746, son of John Schuyler and Anne Van Rensselaer his wife, the daughter of the Patroon. He married Swan Schuyler, his double cousin, their fathers being brothers and their mothers sisters. She was daughter of Adonijah and Gertrude Van Rensselaer. John and Adonijah were sons of Arent Schuyler, fourth son of Philip and Margarita Van Slichtenhorst, married December 12, 1650. Arent was Dyckhouse she born June 25, 1662 ; married, January 2, 1703, Swantje ; died in 1723. Arent was Captain in the Indian and French troubles, Fletcher 1692, 1693, and removed to New York 1694 ; that year Governor sent him to the Minnisink Indians. After his return the Indians deeded him a thousand acres on the Minnisink, and the Governor confirmed it the Passaic in a patent ; he removed to Pompton and, subsequently, to above Newark. He had a very large property, which was increased by the discovery of copper by one of his slaves. Arent died about 1731. The homestead with lands and a house in Broadway, New York, he left (the uncle and to John, who seems to have been his favorite ; to Adonijah father-in-law of the graduate) he left lands at Elizabethtown Point ; to each of his sons he gave a share in the mine and the slaves. Arent and lived at Belleville, N. Swan were married November 2, 1772 ; they J. He remained true to the colonists, but the sons of Adonijah entered the British service, and his wife's sister married Hon. Henry St. John, son of Baron St. John of Bletsho. His father had been appointed to the King's Council, but I only find him in one public position, member of the Bergen County Committee of Correspondence. May, 1775. He had one daughter, perhaps other children.

Henry Lloyd was son of John, born February 9, 1711; married,

December 24, 174 1, Sarah Woolsey, daughter of Rev. Benjamin and Abigail (Taylor) Woolsey. John was a gentleman farmer on Lloyd's Neck, a peninsula off Huntington, Suffolk, though part of Queen's County, N. Y.

became proprietor and settled on the Neck, 171 1, and died March 18, 1763. Rebecca Nelson was born November 15, 1688, and died July 27, 1728. The father of Henry Lloyd, and great-grandfather of the graduate, was James Lloyd, from Boston, and Newport, R, I., who came into possession of part of the Neck by his marriage to Grizzelda, daughter of Nathaniel Sylvester, one of the patentees from Governor Nicolls, 1665.

Lloyd purchased the remainder, and Governor Andros confirmed it to him by his patent, 1677. He married Rebecca, daughter of Governor Leverett, after the death of his first wife, who had issue, Henry, Joseph, and Grizzle. He died August 16, 1698. Henry Lloyd, the graduate,

was the eldest of eight children of John and Sarah Woolsey ; he never married. There was a Henry and James on the estate during the war

who were protected by General Howe ; at the same time, it is said, John lived at Stamford and Joseph at Hartford, Conn., and their lands were confiscated. These must be the father of the graduate and his brothers, i.e., Henry, born 1706, a loyalist, who died in England and was included in after the attainder the peace ; Joseph, born 171 6, and died in Hartford, the youngest and only remaining brother at date, 1780 ; James, that born 1728, a physician at Boston when he died, March, 1810. John was a resident of Stamford as early as 1747, and there the graduate was born Friday, July 22, 1743. His father seems to have been warden of St. John's Church, Stamford, as early as March, 1747, and as late as 1759. He deeded, for £3 4 3 65. nd., from St. George Talbot, two tracts, one of eighteen acres in Northfield, the other four acres, at North Street and the highway, "10 the u»e of the missionary the rector of St. John's Church, and his successors." He held no civil office, but on October 7, 1774, at a meeting warned to consider the claims of the Bostonians then suffering from the action of the Fort Bill, John Lloyd, Samuel Hutton, Captain Samuel Youngs, Captain David Hoyt, and Charles Weed were appointed a committee to receive subscriptions, for the supply of the poor in the town of Boston. I do not know the date of his return to Lloyd's Neck, sometimes called Lloyd's Manor, but he was appointed Judge of Common Pleas, February, 1784.

He had five sisters who married, and four brothers, none of whom left descendants. Rev. Dr. Henry (of Trinity, 1746, to his death in 1764) was his fathers brother. James enlisted as a New Jersey vo'unteer in the cause of the King, was taken prisoner on Staten Island, 1777, and sent to Trenton by the Americans.

Gerard Beekman was first lieutenant in the First Battalion New York Militia, of Independent the company called "Sportsmen." January 3, 1776, when a vote was taken, if they would engage in the cause of the colonies, he voted in the affirmative. His father was called Lieutenant

Gerardus also; he was born at Flatbush, L. I., June 9, 1693; married

1 October 9, 1 7 8, Anna Maria Van Home ; his son married Anna Van Home, October 26, 1745; their eldest child, I believe, was Gerard, baptized New York Dutch Church, September 24, 1746; he married Cornelia, daughter of Lt.-Gov. Pierre Van Cortlandt and Joanna Living- ston. They lived just north of Peekskill, surrounded by Tories, and he was watched by the enemy and once summoned to Tryon's headquarters, but the opportune arrival of American troops saved him. After the war he purchased part of the confiscated Philipse manor near Tarrytown, and lived thenceforward in the old manor house of

Philipseburgh. His monument in the Van Cortlandt cemetery reads : "Gerard G. Beekman, born September 19, 1746, New York City, died June 22d, a.d. 1822, at his seat in the town of Mount Pleasant, aged seventy-three years nine months and three days." Richard Nicolls Colden, son of Alexander, was appointed Ensign, August 27 (the year he graduated), in the Forty-second Royal High- landers, and resigned therefrom 1772. He was with the regiment at the Isle of Man, and while there married a Miss Bethune. In 1772 he was appointed Surveyor of Customs, at New York, and held the office until he died 1777, aged thirty-one years. He had two sons that survived him, to wit: Alexander, who died without issue, and Cadwalader R., sometime editor of the Sporting News, New York. Richard d'Olier. —Of this man I find nothing.

I have not been able to learn whether there was any issue of this marriage. One of the daughters of Col. Marinus Willett married a Ray, and I think possibly of the same family.

Henry Rutgers, born October 7, 1745. This man and his family are so well known, there is no necessity of a lengthy sketch. After graduation he lived in this city ; May 8, 1775, was Captain of Company of

Grenadiers in the militia ; the next year was Lieutenant in Malcolm's regiment, New York line. He was a member of the New York Legis- lature, 1784, 1800-02, and 1 807. Regent 1802-06, Trustee of the College, 1804-17, and died 183c, at. 85. He never married. His life, with portrait, is given in the 17th volume of the Record from the pen of his great-nephew.

The name does not appear in Savage's Dictionary, in Durries Index of American Pedigrees and Genealogies, or the earliest directory of New York. The name is not extinct, however, even here. John Vardill, born in New York, 1752, son of Captain Thomas Vardill, a native of Bermuda, at one time Port Warden at New York, married Hannah Tiebout, December, 1745. John had several brothers and sisters. He was tutor and professor at the College in 1773. In January, 1774, he embarked for England, being a loyalist, and to take orders, which he did, and was ordained at Stirbeck, Lincolnshire, and became rector of an English church. He was elected assistant rector of

Trinity, New York, but never returned to America. He died, 181 1, leaving wife Ann, and one daughter. John Watts, son of the Hon. John Watts, member of the Council, and Ann de Lancey, was born August 27, 1749. At his graduation he delivered the Latin Salutatory. Was Recorder New York, 1774, until the war.

He was commissioned Major of New York Militia, by the British, October 23, 1776. Thomas H. Barclay (class of 1772) was his brother-in-law, having married his wife's sister, Susanna. Her mother's brother was Richard Nicolls Colden (class of 1766), and her sister Margaret married John, son of Edward An till. This John was a major in the British service, and after the Revolution went to Canada, 1783- The ancestor of this family was Robert Watts, of Rose Hill, near Edinburgh, Scotland, whose eldest son, John, came to America, and married Mary, eldest daughter of William Nicoll, oflslip.

THE BERMUDA ISLANDS AND THEIR CONNECTION WITH NEW YORK.

By Joseph Outerbridge Brown.*

Read at a Meeting of the Society, April 13, 18Q4.

It may be a presumption on my part to assume that there is a single individual present who has not visited the Bermuda Islands, or who does not know about their formation all that I shall say. But I take it for granted that the insignificance of the place has left a few to whom the little that I have to tell may be new. The islands are the highest ridge and peaks of a great mountain which has been for ages sinking beneath the waves. They are surrounded by a living coral reef, and that reef marks the northern limit of the coral in the Atlantic. The reef runs close to the shore on the south, and twenty miles away on the north. Just within the northerly reef there is a large rock which scientists tell us is the northerly peak of the mountain. The whole English navy can anchor within the reef without scraping a keel. The sea sand about the island is not like the gray sand of this region, but is dazzlingly white, and the water appears of the color of an emerald. The main island is twenty miles long, and from half a mile to a mile and a half in width. There are three good roads, which run from end to end of the island. Some years ago, while examining the newspapers of the colonial period, so carefully preserved in the Library of the New York Historical Society, I came across several articles complaining of the supineness shown by the men of New York and New England in permitting the Bermudians to monopolize the carrying trade of the whole coast, from Nova Scotia to Georgia. There may have been exaggeration in these statements, but, after all, they were substantially the truth. For the Bermuda vessels were all built of the red cedar of the islands, a wood tougher, stronger, lighter, more durable, and in all respects better fitted for the purpose than the woods of which the American vessels were constructed. Besides, these Bermuda craft were manned by negro slaves from the islands—the finest sailors in the world—whose wives and children were at home working the gardens and attending upon the families of their masters. How could the New England or New York boy, ready to go before the mast for good wages and with the hope of advancement to the post of mate or captain, enter into competition with those who were owned, as were their wives and children, by the commander of the vessel in which they were working? The continental American, as I may call him, could make a better profit by the labor of his slave on shore than he could by putting him at work as a sailor, especially as his property was of a different quality from the Bermuda negro, as I shall presently try to show. As to the Bermuda Islands themselves, they were essentially a part

Settled at the same time, by the same classes of people, having the most intimate relations with each other, there was no more difference between the whites of Bermuda and those of the colonies than there was between the provinces of Connecticut and of New Jersey. Every seaport town, from Nova Scotia to Georgia, had among its citizens families of Bermudians, generally in comfortable circumstances and of good social standing. All were brothers, all Americans. It was not until the period of our revolution that the islands were torn away from us. But the islanders have never ceased to be, and always will be, Americans. In January, 1833, tne inhabitants of these islands numbered about eight thousand men, women, and children, of whom over five thousand were blacks. On the morning of the 1st of August in that year these blacks were slaves, but when the clock struck the hour of noon they were free, with all the rights and privileges of freemen. The British Government had purchased their liberty, and all who were able had assembled in the forenoon at their respective parish churches, and were on their knees at prayer when the joyous moment arrived. Then they broke forth into songs of praise and thanksgiving. I was a small boy at the time, but I well remember being on a veranda in the town watching the procession returning from St. John's Church, Pembroke, with banner, music, drum and fife. I had the pleasure several years ago of presenting to this Society the volume of the Royal Gazette containing the official list of the owners, which is of value as showing that, as a rule, no one person owned more than one or, at the utmost, two families, and that in the majority of cases such ownership was limited to two or three slaves or even one. No old widow, however poor, but that she had at least one servant to bring her water from the cistern, and to make her cedar-wood and lantana, or, as it is there called, sage-bush, fire. These slaves were all either sailors or family servants. There were no vast fields of corn or cotton to be cultivated. Each family raised enough corn, cabbage, sweet and other potatoes, onions, and cassava for its own use, sometimes adding, where the proper soil could be had, a small field of arrow-root for the London market. For Bermuda arrow-root, the best in the world, was too precious to be generally used at home. It always brought the best of prices in London, to which city it was consigned, pledged there before a plant was grown. The colored people of Bermuda are a peculiar race, fine-limbed, straight, tall, and with more than the ordinary number of bright, intelligent persons among them. These qualities they probably owe to the fact that when the Pequot Indians were defeated in war, scattered, broken up and destroyed as a tribe in New England, those who were taken prisoners were exported to the Bermudas and found there a ready sale. It was the fate of many an Indian boy and girl, and, indeed, many a warrior and his squaw, to live and die in these islands, broken in spirit, and accepting their enslavement without a murmur. Indians and negroes intermarry- ing, the superior race of colored people now inhabiting the islands is the result. I think that we can properly claim for this race that they also are Americans—aboriginal Americans indeed, as truly Americans as their white fellow-countrymen can ever expect to be. There are, however, exceptions to the general rule. I well remember 184 Bermuda Islands and their Connection with New York. [Oct., an old Guinea negro, the very picture of those dolls which were so common in the shops when we were children, but which we now so seldom see. Short, black as jet, with little nose and eyes, and speaking broken English in a low voice, old Aaron, who had been a prince in his own country, was stolen from his native village and dropped at the islands by a slave-ship (doubtless for a good round sum in old Spanish dollars). This Aaron, when he became free, married an enormous black woman named Rose, who was fully six feet in height and broad in proportion, with a voice like a trumpet. Never was there a more ludicrous sight than this old couple wending their way to church on Sunday morning, clad in all their fineries. We children used to delight in dancing before them and singing out, " High Priest Aaron and the Rose of Sharon." Nothing could exceed the impotent rage of old Aaron. He shook all over as with the palsy, and his jabbering, in his native African language, was wonderful to hear, while Rose tried to drive us off with her gigantic arms.

Peace to their ashes ! They "quietly lie near their old master and mis- tress, under the shadow of the parish church of St. John's. The Bermuda Islands originally belonged to the company which settled Virginia. That company sold them to certain London merchants, one hundred and twenty in number, who were incorporated by King " James I. in 1 6 14, under the name of The Governor and Company of the City of London for the Plantation of the Sorner Islands." Be- fore the year 1684 the company had sold all the land to actual settlers, and yet insisted upon taxing the islands and upon receiving a proportion of all the crops raised. The settlers at last complained to the home government, legal proceedings were taken, and the company was dis- solved. The English Government itself took the care and control of the islands, which it has ever since maintained. During the existence of the proprietary government the Church of England was the only church. The Lords Proprietors always sent out clergymen of the Established Church to the colony. But these clergymen belonged to the extreme Low Church party—indeed, so low that the ministers often refused to read the prayers. The Litany, especially, was their abhorrence, and the Church of England, in her own pulpits and by her own clergymen, was often denounced. These ministers were hand and glove with the New England preachers, sharing their views to a great

extent ; but they did not, as did the Massachusetts ministers, altogether give up the services, or ignore the fact that they owed allegiance to the mother church. About the year 1643, however, John Oxenford, the famous New England minister, and Patrick Copland, as well known from Pennsylvania southerly to Georgia as Oxenford was further east, introduced the leaven of nonconformity. Oxenford soon left, but Copland, the Rev. Nehemiah White, and the Rev. William Golding, all clergymen of the Established Church, published a declaration to the effect that

"they did . . . lay down and relinquish their office of ministry in the Church of England, acknowledging themselves to be but private men," yet, as they held themselves to be a church, of themselves they had entered into a covenant among themselves, "and were ready to receive any members." The extremists, of course, soon joined them, and a church was formed—a church hardly necessary, except as a testimony to the truth, as they called it, for there never has been, either before or since, in the Established Church of England, wherever settled, such lib- 1894.] Bermuda Islands and their Connection with New York. 18c

erty as was then and there enjoyed by its ministers and its members. The local government at last took the alarm, mustered up courage enough to attack the new organization, and banished it to one of the uninhabited Bahama Islands, where the majority of the members endured untold suffering, by reason of shipwreck, loss of clothes, and scarcity of provisions. Some of the survivors found their way back to the Bermudas. But no independent congregational church again raised its head there. The Rev. Mr. Copland was not included in the list of exiles, as he had been only a sojourner and not a resident, and the court had no power to banish him to its penal colony. But he deemed it his duty to follow his church, and he did so. The last minister sent out by the proprietary government was the Rev. John Fowle, A.M., of the University of Dublin, who must have been a priest, duly ordained, as the company sent no others. In 16S5, however, he is called "an independent minister." In 1694 his license was renewed by the new government, and he was authorized to preach in any of the parish churches ; but he was to avoid casting any reflections upon the Church of England. He could not have obtained this new license if he had not received episcopal ordination. He was officiating in Devonshire parish as late as 1704, although the church had in the year 1700 sent to its Boston, Mass., friends for a good, orthodox New England minister. None was sent. Doubtless government interfered. The good people had forgotten that times had changed, and that conformity to the Anglican discipline and ritual would now be enforced. The majority soon became used to the new rules. Latitudinarian- ism took the place, as it did at home, of the former evangelical spirit The ministers drank their wine, and joined in all the gayeties of the government party, and the poor evangelicals had no place of Sabbath rest. At last, in 17 19, Thomas Gilbert, "for the manifestation of his love for the people of the Presbyterian persuasion who were destitute of a meeting-house wherein to assemble for the exercise of religious worship," conveyed a piece of land in Warwick for the purpose of erecting one. The building was soon finished. No objection was made to its use as a Presbyterian church, probably because it conformed to the discipline of the Church of Scotland. The church is still standing, but was greatly enlarged in the year 1837. It will be remembered that it was in this same year 171 9 that the first Presbyterian church was erected in New York. It stood in Wall Street, between Nassau Street and Broadway. That church also conformed to the discipline of the Church of Scotland, and its land and building were conveyed to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Scot- land, where it remained until after the revolution, when it was conveyed to the trustees in New York. Is there not reasonable ground for the belief that the erection of these two churches, the one in Bermuda and the other in New York, at the same time, was in consequence of a mutual understanding between their congregations that the work should proceed in both places simultane- ously ? The relations between New York and Bermuda at this time were intimate. Many Bermudians were settled in New York, and many of these settlers retained their homesteads in the islands, and often vis-

ited them. The distance is not great. I have, in a cedar sailing brig or schooner, of, say, eighty tons, made the passage in fifty-eight hours. A steamer can do little better.

It was in the first quarter of the eighteenth century, that is, between 1700 and 1725, that the trade between Bermuda and New York became of some importance. The Bermudians had taken possession of Turk's Island, one of the Bahama group, and were accustomed to go down there every year at the proper season with their slaves to gather salt. This salt was carried back with them, and shipped from Bermuda to all parts of the American coast. The trade was lucrative. Among the principal New Yorkers engaged in it was the well-known merchant Paul Richard, at one time mayor of the city, the descendant of one of the early Huguenot settlers of the same name. Richard had a branch of his widely extended business in Bermuda. Associated with him were his brothers, Eli, John, and Stephen. Eli took charge of the Bermuda business, which consisted largely of the exportation of salt from the islands. Eli Richard and his family were connected with the new Presbyterian church. He died in Bermuda in the lifetime of his brother Paul, leaving two daughters, Sarah and Elizabeth. Paul Richard died about the year 1756, leaving a will dated in 1749. He left no issue surviving him. By his will he divided his large estate

into five equal parts ; one-fifth part he gave to the children of his sister Catharine, one of whom, Gertrude, wife of Dr. Thomas Randall, was the mother of Thomas Richard Randall, to whose benevolence and foresight we are indebted for that well-known institution, the Sailor's Snug Harbor. Paul Richard deyised one other fifth part of his estate to the two daughters of his deceased brother, Eli, of the island of Bermuda, they to be entitled to the same when they respectively became of age. We find that Elizabeth Richard, one of these daughters, was in New York in the year 1763, for in that year she married Francis Landey Pat- ton. Whether he was an American or a Bermudian we have not been able to discover. We know, however, that the married pair, after a year's residence in New York, sailed for Bermuda with their son, Eli Richard Patton, and made that place their home. Mr. Patton's position there was

one of influence ; he was in public life for many years, esteemed and honored. Sarah, the other daughter of Eli Richard, married a Bermudian by the name of Place, whose son, Paul Richard Place, married Sarah Jaun- cey of New York, and had one son, Marinus Willett Place, who, with Eli Richard Patton, son of Elizabeth, owned the property No. 126 Pearl Street, Hanover Square, in this city, long occupied by the eminent dry- goods firm of Dennis Perkins & Co. as their place of business. I well remember collecting the rent, in the forties, when I was a boy, of that store. The property was then still owned by the representatives of those two sisters. Marinus Willett Place devised his half of the store to his mother, Sarah Jauncey, who had married Henry W. Kingsland, of New Jersey. I have given, perhaps, more than the fair proportion of space to this subject of the Richard family, for the reason that the honored Presi- dent of the College of New Jersey, at Princeton, is Dr. Francis Landey Patton, the great-grandson of the Francis Landey Patton and Elizabeth Richard, his wife, who, with their little boy, left New York for Bermuda in the year 1764. President Patton's parents, grandparents, and great- 1894-] Bermuda Islands and /heir Connection with New Y01 k. j (S~

grandparents were members of the little Presbyterian church, and it was through the preaching of the Gospel in that house of God that he himself became rooted and grounded in the faith. To go back to the year 1719, when the Presbyterian church in Ber- muda was erected. Its first minister was the Rev. John Fowle, the Church of England clergyman of whom we have said so much. He finally "went over," and was an earnest and devout Presbyterian. His ministry was acceptable to his flock, and upon his death the Rev. Josiah Smith became the preacher. He, in the year 1828, resigned his charge, and became the minister of a church in Charleston, S. C. He married, in Bermuda, a lady of excellent social position, and must have been a man of education and good sense or he could not have become the minister of a leading church in Charleston. Mr. Smith was succeeded by the Rev. Mr. Paul, who was from the South, and who was still the minister, " an aged wan," in the year 1748, when the Rev. George Whitefield, the famous revivalist, visited Bermuda, and he received that apostle with open arms. He was not alone in this welcoming of the great preacher. High and low, rich and poor, crowded to hear him. Whitefield brought letters- of introduction from Mr. and Mrs. Smith to their friends and relations in the islands, and these were sufficient to assure to him attention from the best people. But his fame had preceded him. The governor twice invited him to dinner. The houses of the members of the council, the judges and the lawyers, were opened to him, he was feted and caressed to his heart's content, but after all he dwells longer upon his experiences at the Presbyterian church. The following

is an extract from his diary : " Sunday, March 27. —Both morning and afternoon I preached to a large auditory, for Bermudians, in Mr. Paul's meeting-house. Abundance of negroes and many others were in the vestry, porch, and about the house. The Word seemed to be clothed with a convicting power, and to make its way into the hearts of the hearers. Between services I was entertained very civilly in a neighboring house. Judge Bascom and three more of the council came thither and each gave me an invitation to his house. How does the Lord make way for a poor stranger in a strange

land ! After the second sermon I dined at Mr. Paul's, and in the evening expounded to a very large company at Councillor Riddle's." And so he goes on, page after page, telling of his dinners at the houses of all the leading men, and his sermons in the Established and Presby- terian churches. And then: "Sunday, May 1. —-In the evening I preached in the fields to a large company of negroes and a number of white people, who came to hear what I would say to the negroes— I believe, in all, fifteen hundred people. I gave the audience warning that I should endeavor to imitate the example of Elijah, who, when he was about to raise the child, contracted himself to the child's length." He intended that the negroes should hear the Word in all its simplicity. " The negroes were sensible and attentive. When I asked them if they did not all want to go to Heaven, one of them, with a very audible voice, said, 'Yes,sir!' This caused a little smiling. He was afterwards questioned

' by somebody why he spoke out so; he answered : The gentleman put the question to us once or twice, and the other fools had not the manners to their I 88 Bermuda Islands arid Connection with New York. [Oct.,

make any answer ; till at last he seemed to point at me, and I was ashamed that nobody answered, so I did.' "Some of the negroes were angry because I said nothing against their masters. Blessed be God that 1 was directed not to say anything this first time to their masters ! They would mind all I said to their masters and

perhaps nothing I said to them. Everything is beautiful in its season !

Lord, teach me that due season ! to give black or white a portion of Thy Word." He goes on to tell of the negroes and their criticism of his addresses, " and says : From all which I infer that these Bermuda negroes are more knowing than I would suppose them to be." Would not the fact that so many of these colored people were the descendants of the American Indians account in some degree for their superior intelligence ? There were many Bermudians, sea captains and others, who at this period were engaged in the trade between the islands and New York, among them the brothers James and John Jauncey and Thomas Vardill. They all became residents of this city. John Jauncey was famous during the French war as one of the most successful of privateers. He and his brother James were owners of at least twenty-five vessels built expressly for fighting. James by this time was a wealthy merchant, and John commanded his ships and was part owner of them. At one time Thomas Vardill was owner with John of the " Snow " and " Mary Anne," carrying thirty guns. This Thomas Vardill was (it is asserted) a descendant of Robert Vardill, one of the earliest immigrants to the Somer Islands. Thomas, his descendant, became port warden in this city. His mother was still living in the Bermudas in 1781. Thomas Vardill was the father of the Rev. John Vardill, D.D., born in New York in 1752, a graduate of Columbia (then Kings) College, who was appointed by the college Professor of Natural Law, History, and Language at that college in 1773. Rev. Dr. Vardill was an enthusiastic loyalist, wrote many pamphlets and newspaper articles on the side of the crown, and in 1774 embarked for England for the purpose of taking Holy Orders. He was elected in the same year assistant minister of Trinity Church, but never returned to the United States. He became rector of a country church in England, and died there in 181 1, leaving a wife and daughter, but no son. Thomas Vardill's first wife was Hannah Tiebout, of New York. He had several other children, all born here in New York, among them Robert, Thomas, Jonathan, Mary, wife of Thomas Bartow, and Eliza, wife of William Mercer, but the name of Vardill is no longer to be met with. James jauncey, the merchant, the brother of John, became one of the most active members of the Wall Street Presbyterian Church, and he did not forget the little Bermuda kirk from whence he came. His countenance and support could always be relied upon when assistance was required. The kirk was soon connected with the New York Presbytery, and the intimacy between the churches was very great. Upon the death of Rev. Mr. Paul the people applied to the Presby-

tery of New York for a minister to fill his place. After consulting with Mr. Pemberton, the ce ebrated Joseph Bellamy, and Eleazer Wheelock, the founder of Dartmouth College, Wheelock recommended his stepson, John Maltly of New Haven, a tutor in the College of Nassau Hall (now Bermuda Islands and their Connection with 1894.] A'ezv Fork. \ Sg the College of New Jersey), who was nephew of the well-known James Davenport of New Haven. Maltly was ordained by the New York Presbytery in 1754, and sent to Bermuda, where he remained until near the close of his life, in 1771. He was succeeded by the Rev. James Muir, who, while on a visit to New York in 1788, was invited to preach in the Brick Presbyterian Church in Beekman Street, as a candidate for the office of associate minister with the Rev. Dr. Rodgers of the Wall Street Church. For the new church had not severed its connection with the old one, the associate minister of the Wall Street Church taking charge of the pulpit of the Brick Church. There were two parties in the church, the one in favor of Mr. Muir, and the other desiring the appointment of a Mr. Morse for the vacant place. These gentlemen preached for several months on probation, and in the meantime the contest ran high and threatened very serious consequences, as Dr. Miller says in his life of Dr. Rodgers. It lasted a year, when Mr. Morse withdrew. Mr. Muir (afterwards Dr. Muir) accepted a call to Alexandria, Va., and the church was left in peace. The Rev. Enoch Matson, a native of Pennsylvania, was the next in minister Bermuda. He began his labors in the year 1 79 1 . Although the political connection between the Somer Islands and America had been severed, the people still regarded each other as one people, as, indeed, they were. Air. Matson continued to be the minister until his death in 1831, at the age of seventy-three years. His funeral sermon was preached by the Venerable Aubery George Spencer, Archdeacon of Bermuda, afterwards Lord Bishop of Jamaica, W. I. Some of us must have seen and heard the bishop at old Trinity, in this city. The church is now connected with the Church of Scotland, and obtains its ministers from thence. During the early years of the ministry of Mr. Matson, Mr. Gardiner Spring, afterwards well known as the pastor of the Brick Church in Beekman Street (where Mr. Muir had preached so long on probation without obtaining the coveted position), went to the islands. In his autobiography he gives an interesting account of this early trip he made to Bermuda, and his engagement there as tutor.

He says : "In the year 1805 I accepted an offer to go to the islands as teacher, at a salary of fifteen hundred dollars per annum. I opened school there and was disappointed. The inhabitants were high churchmen, and no ardent friends of the United States. The minister was a dissipated, drunken fellow, and the Sabbath day was no rest for me." We cannot think that the rector of the Church of England was " a dissipated, drunken fellow," but the young teacher's patrons belonged to what was called the best society, who monopolized all the government offices, and belonged to the English Church, gave numerous dinners, and expected their minister to be jolly, to drink as many bottles of good wine, and to attend as many dancing parties, as they themselves did. This style of life was, of course, excessively distasteful to the young New Englander. " He goes on to say : The families who patronized me were among the aristocracy of the island, and though they treated me with great courtesy and kindness, made me feel that, though the instructor of their Islands their Connection I QO Bermuda and with New York. [Oct., children, I was but a Yankee schoolmaster. They marked my depression and my proud spirit, and were not less disappointed with me than I was with them. Before the close of my first quarter they paid me a full quarter's salary, and plainly told me that I if could not be contented to remain they would release me from my engagement. " But for an incidental visitation to a neighboring parish, where I found a devout Presbyterian church, under the ministrations of the Rev. Mr. Matson, I should have at once quitted the islands in disgust. The Sabbath I spent in that parish was a day not to be forgotten. I was in the midst of a God-fearing people, and heard an evangelical sermon. I wept much, and the people saw it. The singing was miserable. I endeavored to unite with it. At the close the minister and the elders came around me, to inquire the name of the musical

stranger. I was alone, and again I wept. They took me by the hand and introduced me to their families, and after becoming acquainted with my history, and my object at the island, they engaged to establish

' ' ,1 school at Salt Kettle and to give me permanent and profitable employment. I found many lovely Christian families there, where, " stranger as I was, 1 was treated as a son and a brother. So far his diary. Before opening his school he went back to New Haven to get married, and to bring his wife to the islands with him.

His first child, Samuel, was born at Salt Kettle ; he says that his wife's chamber was amid a bed of geraniums. That he had a very flourishing school, and that he and his wife and his son enjoyed excellent health. " He further says : I remained for more than a year, and went away with fifteen hundred dollars in my pocket. It was a delightful year. Everybody loved and respected us, and we loved and respected all about us, except the poor slaves, who were liars and thieves. " The occasion of leaving the island was solely the fear of war between Great Britain and the United States, in which event all the citizens who had remained on the island for more than a year would be regarded as prisoners of war or be constrained to take the oath of allegiance to Great Britain." Let me here say that the young Samuel Spring, born in Bermuda, of parents so happy and so well suited to each other, lived to grow up to manhood and to be a denizen of this goodly city. He married here the daughter of Recorder Richard Riker, and his widow and daughter live here, and prefer New York to any other place in the world. It was only a few days ago that Mrs. Spring kindly sent to me the last Report of the Northeastern Dispensary, valuable as containing an excellent portrait and an obituary of her brother, the late John H. Riker. I noticed in the list of consulting physicians of that institution the name of Dr. Ellsworth Eliot, a name not unknown to us, and I have no doubt that through him there is already a copy of the Report in this library. Great changes have taken place in the Bermudas of late years. The gentlemen of the olden time, proud of their grand dinners and their fine old Madeira, have disappeared. The colored people have acquired real estate. They have one or two representatives in the Assembly. An invitation to a reception at the Government House can no longer be taken as a mark of social standing. Vermont Graveyard Inscriptions. 1894.] I q j

The first blow to the prosperity of the islands was the loss of the salt monopoly. The English Government, after a while, became conscious of the fact that a colony of theirs had been, for over forty years, colo- nizing for themselves, and were exercising supreme control over their

territory thus acquired ; so Turk's Island was taken away from them and annexed to the British West Indies. Then the carrying trade along our coast was lost, in consequence of our successful revolution. This was the second blow.

The abolition of slavery in the islands made it necessary to pay good wages to the sailors, and, to complete the ruin of the shipping interest, the colored people of the West Indies refused to eat any longer the salted codfish which had been their principal food, and which was to them the badge of servitude. Whole cargoes, just from Newfoundland, were thrown overboard. The trade in rum, sugar, and fish was at an end, and the occupation of the Bermuda skipper was gone. The children of these men are now found in every part of the United

States ; New York is full of them. They and their descendants will continue to come here, for there is no opening for them at home. The

islands are overcrowded. The forests have been . cut down. But the place is as beautiful as ever, and attracts many visitors. England has made it one of the most strongly fortified of the islands now owned by her, and she is continually adding to its strength and resources.

Contributed by John Schuyler.

[At the period when this letter was written Sir Jeffrey Amherst (b. in England 1 d. 71 7 ; 1797) was Governor-General of the British possessions in America, and Colonel Bradstreet (b. in England 1711 ; d. in New York City 1774) was his Deputy Quartermaster-General, stationed at Albany. Bradstreet. had served under Amherst at Crown Point and Ticonderoga in 1759, and was raised to the rank of major-general in 1772. The original of this letter was found among the papers of Gen. Philip Schuyler.— Pub. Com.] 1894-] Letter from Col. John Bradstreet to Sir Jeffery Amherst. \q.->

y c Albany, \o"' Jan , 1762.

I be^; leave to remind your Excellency of an application made you by the Elders & Deacons of the Dutch Church in 1759 f° r Pay fc* r the great pasture here, affirming part had been taken to Erect Provision Store- houses on & the remander intirely made use of by His Majesty's Oxen, Horses, Carriages etc., and that your Excellency seeing the demand not only unreasonable but in great part false did not think proper to allow them anything, whereupon they have taken it into their Heads that I am, as D. Q. M. General, answerable for all the damages they think they have receiv'd and a Writ is out against me for a considerable sum of monies on that account together with one for three thousand pounds for Hire & damages of 180 Acres of grass Lands for His Majesties Service from April 1759 to Jan y 1760, tho the complainant has been offer'd to leave the dispute to be delermin'd by reputable arbitrators, he not being intitled to as many hundreds & lie claims thousands. As your Excellency knows the People here and how extensive the necessary work was to enable His Majestys Troops to penetrate into Canada, You will, I believe, immediately conclude there is a necessity to take every step to prevent these people succeeding in the^e suits to stop a large number of much the same kind following directly on their success which would be attended with so great expence to the Mother Country who deserves another kind of return from a People whome she so lately, at an immence expence sav'd from the hands of the most cruel Enemies. I beg leave

to say, it appears to me there are two ways to ward off these attacks it prevent those intended —namely either by insisting on my not being lvable to those demands or by disputing their Title to the Lands in question as in Equity they have no right to them & by keeping possession of the former which I conceive mav be done with great propriety & justice on the inclos'd Grant for the Public use. But from the great number of attempts made on your Kxcellency by the Inhabitants of this Country to recover Monies for work done and materials furnish'd for His Majesty's Service under my direction, with your being sensible not one of these Complaints ever appear'd to you to have the least colour of justice or truth on their side, but on the contrary, manifest attempts to Rob the Public, I humbly think our hopes to save the Mother Country from these ungreatful & expensive attacks should not intirely depend on a Jury made up of the People themselves, but from an appeal to the King in Council if the Suits are given against us, with your Excellencys

representation of these Peoples behavour as it would make known their Base endeavours to Plunder the Public from the commencement of the War to the present time and thereby put these first attackers to great expence without success, discourage & prevent any more of the kind and the Crown be possessed of their Lands again. As to my being made the principal in these cases I am perfectly easey about it as I am sure of your Excellencys favor from your constant attention to the Public good & from a faithful discharge of my

Duty to my King ifc Country consequently cannot fail of the protection and support of our Gracious Sovereign & of the best of People. I have the honor to be with great respect Your Excellencys oblig'd and most obedient humble Servant, Jno. Bradstreet. His Exy Sir JefF Amherst, &c, &c", &c. Parish Register I g4 of Si.

NOTES AND QUERIES.

Campbell of Craignish. —The history of this important branch of the Clan Campbell descended from Lochow, and whose records reach back to the twelfth century, is about to be given to the public. The family papers and title deeds have been placed for this purpose in the hands of Mr. Andrew Ross, the Marchmont Herald, Edinburgh, Scotland, whose recent biography of Alexander Nisbet, the great Scottish " heraldic writer, prefixed to the " Xisbet Heraldic Plates recently published by Messrs. the critical George Waterston cV Sons, Edinburgh, has been most favorably reviewed by journals. Time and accident have destroyed many of the family muniments, but there jog Notes and Queries. [Oct., remains ample material for an exceedingly attractive and dramatic work. The origin of the famous Clan MacRae will for the first time be fully discussed in the light of existing documents, and many incidents illustrative of Highland manners and customs, preserved in the family papers, will be fully detailed. The documents have been placed in Mr. Ross's hands unreservedly, and they disclose many a wild tale of High- land warfare and revenge relating to a district of the country which was without the control of the royal jurisdiction, and regarding which, consequently, the notices appearing in the national records are few and meagre. In addition to the Craignish branch of the Campbells, the work will contain historical and genealogical notices of the following families : The Campbells of Lochow, Glenurchay, Lochnell, 1 >un- staffnage, Barbreck, Ardkinglas, Kilberry, Dannay, Ardchattan, Sunderland, Laggan- lochan, Inverliver, Bragglenbeig Askenish, and Carrick ; Macdonald of Islay, Mac- donald of Antrim, MacEachairn, McMartine, McArthur, McNaughten, Mclver, Mackisage, MacLeod of Rarsay, McNeill, MacCallum of Corvorranbeg, McCallum of Poltalloch, McGilleis, Maclachlan and Macfarlane.

Church Centenary. —The First Church of Christ in East Haddam, Conn., will observe the one hundredth anniversary of the erection of its edifice, October 24, 1894. The structure whose century of existence is to be celebrated is the third of those in which the Society has worshipped ; the first, thirty-two by thirty-two, was erected in 1704 or 1705 ; the second, forty by sixty-five, was occupied in July, 1728. The history of such a church for two centuries, embracing both colonial and State life, and including participants in the French and Indian war, the Revolution, the second war with England, and the Civil War, would be interesting. Every society, civil and religious, should preserve and publish its history ; every church should copy its baptisms, marriages, and records. r. h. G.

King. Edmund King, Sr., of Halifax Court — House, Va., had three wives : Beavers, by he had 1, Miss whom a son Robert, whose son was William ; 2, the widow Thomas, who bore him one child, who died young; 3, Elizabeth, daughter of William and Mary (Woodson) Thomas, and niece of the widow Thomas just mentioned. Elizabeth, the third wife, died April 2, 179S, and was buried at Halifax

Court House ; her children were : Polly, William. James, Edmund, Sarah, Eliza- beth, Nancy, Joicy, and Peyton, born between the years 1774 and 1790. Is anything known of the ancestry of Edmund King, Sr. ? His children and William Rufus King, Vice-President of the United States, born 1786, are said to have been second cousins. What proof is there of this? rufus king, Yonkers, N. Y. Tyng. Stewart, Stull, Edwards, Hunter. —Can the readers of the Record kindly furnish me any information whatsoever relative to the ancestry, etc., of Rebecca, daughter of Gen. Edward Tyng and wife of Gen. Joseph Dudley, of Massachusetts; of Miss Stewart, of Calvert County, Md., who married a Benjamin Harrison, of Anne Arundel County, Md., and was sister to "a General Stewart of Revolutionary fame," to whom, for his services, Congress presented a medal ; of John Stull, who married Mercy Williams, sister to Gen. Otho Holland Williams ; of Nancy Edwards, who married Zachariah Forrest, brother of Brig. -Gen. Uriah Forrest, of St. Mary's County,

Md. ; of David Hunter, grandfather of Major-General Hunter, U. S. A. ?

King— Correction. —In the obituary of the late David King, Esq., of Newport, R. I., published in the July (1894) Record, it was stated that Lieutenant Philip King, of Taunton, Mass., married Judith, daughter of Rev. William Whitman. Rev. E. Sanford's pamphlet on the King family of Raynham, published at Taunton in 1866, was the authority relied on. A descendant of Lieut. Philip King informs the writer that it is now an established fact that Judith Whitman was the daughter of Deacon John Whitman, of Weymouth, Mass., whose will mentions her by name. r. k.

Old Register, All Saints' Parish Church, Newcastle-on-Tyne. — It is intended to publish the above register of burials, baptisms, and marriages if sufficient subscribers can be obtained. The register dates back to 1598, is a most important one, and relates to nearly all the distinguished families in the County of Northumberland. Prospectus and order form may be had from W.

MUNSON. —A history and genealogy of the Munson family has been written and will soon be published in two octavo volumes. The work will be profusely illustrated with portraits, views, fac-si miles and charts, and is expected to be of great interest to all the Munson connection.

Barnes.— Correspondence is solicited from the descendants of Timotky Barnes or Bams, who was born in 1741 at Hartford, Conn., and died at Litchfield, Conn., in 1S25. His wife's name was Eunice Munson. BYRON BARNES HORTON, Sheffield, Pa.

Goss. —Information is desired of the nationality and parentage of Charles who appeared as "single man" in Chester County, Pennsylvania, about 1721, and

died there 1732, leaving descendants. J. GRANVILLE LEACH, 733 Walnut Street, Philadelphia.

Grantmax. — Wanted, the ancestry of Sarah Grantman, who is supposed to have lived in New York City some time between 1825 and 1840 ; also the first name of

BOOK NOTICES.

Pedigree of Odell, of United States and Canada, 1639-1894, variously written in the public records of England as YYadehelle, YYahulle, de Wahul, YVodhull, Woodhull, YVodell, Odell, Odill, Odle, etc. Six lines of descent traced by Rufus King, Esq., of Yonkers, Westchester County, X. Y. Copyright, 1894.

This recent contribution to genealogical literature is a large sheet pedigree, giving an account of some of the descendants of Mr. William Odell, of Concord, Mass., who was a settler there as early as 1639. The limited space has been carefully economized, and much valuable information condensed. Care has also been taken to cite the authority for statements made. Pedigrees arranged on this plan have much to commend them, showing as they do at a glance the exact relationship of the several branches of a family. There is no turning of pages backwards and forwards, or referring to cabalistic signs and figures until the confused reader often lays down the book in despair. The Odell family was rent asunder by the dissensions of the American Revolu- tion, and we find Lieut. John Odell, with his brothers Abraham and William, standing shoulder to shoulder in the patriot army, while their kinsman, the Hon. and Rev. Jonathan Odell, espoused the Royal cause, and filled many important offices under the Crown. He was the well-known writer whose poetry has been published under the title of " The Loyal Verses of Stansbury and Odell." His branch is now represented by Major William H. Odell, an officer in the English army. In point of arrangement, the pedigree is all that could be desired, and as to its typographical excellence, it is enough to say that it is from the press of De Vinne

& Co. M. s. J. Memoranda relating to the Ancestry and Family of Hon. Levi Par- sons Morton, Vice-President of the United States (1889-1893). By

Josiah Granville Leach, LL.B. The Riverside Press, Cambridge, Mass. , 1894. Svo, half morocco, pp. 191. This is not a campaign biography, but the genealogical history of a man who has won his way to wealth and political preferment by force of character and sterling integrity. Its author, Mr. J. Granville Leach, well known to genealogists as the vice-president of the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania, has indicated the sources of Mr. Morton's success by tracing his ancestry back in various lines, and showing his forbears to have been men of character and ability. " Blood will tell " is generally considered an epigram rather than a truism, but that it is a truism no one 200 Book Notices. [Oct., 1894. appreciates so well as the earnest student of family history. Mr. Leach treats in more or less detail of the following families : Morton, Hartpence, Hopkins, Stetson, Parsons, Strong, Stebbins, Sheldon, Frairy, Clapp, Holton, Hinsdale, Dickinson, Barnard, Marshfield, Foster, and Reyner. The book contains a number of illustrations, has an excellent portrait of Mr. Morton as a frontispiece, and is well printed and handsomely bound. T. G. E. Some Account of the Temple Family. By Temple Prime (Huntington,

N. Y. , U. S. A.). Second edition. New York, 1894. 8vo, pamphlet, pp. 111. The first edition, 1887, of this work was prefaced, "Published to court criticism, and to elicit further information." A peculiarity of this writer is the insertion after the Christian name, and before the surname, of the Roman numeral which designates the several appearances of the name, and when it appears first it seems to create a doubt which might be avoided if the I were bracketed, as Robert (1) Temple, rather than Robert I Temple. This edition has the arms engraved, which makes intellig- ible to all what is without meaning to the great majority. The second is not merely the first reprinted with the " further information" elicited, as one might judge from a casual glance, or from the paging, which is increased ten per cent. Some twenty- four pages on Sir Jno. Temple's connection with the Hutchinson letters, the will of Elizabeth Bowdoin, and the diploma of the College of Arms, 16S4, are omitted entire ; hence, those who have the first need not cast it aside, as the larger does not contain all of the smaller. The press-work is by De Vinne. R. H. G.

The History of Erie County, Pennsylvania, from its First Settlement. By Laura G. Sanford. New and enlarged edition. Published by the author. 1894. i2mo, pp. 458.

This handsome book was printed by the Chautauqua Century, though that does not appear on the title page. The author has been active and apparently thorough " in the collection of facts. What she says in the preface is worthy of repetition : If in every State we had those who were unprejudiced and truth-loving to examine and test the supposed history of their respective localities, and to record the testimony of the aged, ' before they go hence and be no more,' truth would be vindicated, much that is interesting rescued from oblivion, and a correct and minute history of our country secured."

The King Memorial. By Henry P. Phelps. Albany : Phelps and Kellogg, 1893. S x 9.V, pp. 46. This beautiful book, printed for private distribution, has for a frontispiece the King Memorial Fountain, erected by Henry L. King in memory of his father, " Rufus H. King, every expense having been met by Mr. J. Howard King. Child- hood," " Youth," " Manhood," and "Age," full-page pictures from photographs of the surrounding figures and groups ; Moses, the main figure; and a rear view of the fountain, with portraits of Rufus H. King and Col. Henry L. King, increase its value and attractiveness. There are sketches of the Messrs. King, an account of the unveiling, and a description of the memorial. It is a worthy record of a noble gift.

R. II. G. The Great Commanders Series—General Washington, by Gen. Bradley

T. Johnston. General Scott, by Gen. Marcus J. Wright. New York ; D. Appleton & Co., 1894. The value of this series of short, compact biographies of eminent American military leaders has been greatly increased by the addition of the two books before us. As often as the life of Washington has been written, the purely military side of it has never been so clearly and succinctly set forth as in this welcome volume from the pen of Gen. Bradley T. Johnston; and Genera] Wright deserves unstinted praise for his able account of the brilliant career of Winfield Scott. Descent of John Nelson and his Children, with Notes on the Families of Tailer and Stoughton. By Temple Prime. Second edition. New York, 1894. Svo, pp. 61. This pamphlet, uniform with the " Account of the Temple Family " elsewhere reviewed, has just come from 1 )e Vinne's press, and much that was said there might be here repeated. Mr. Prime, while perfecting his first edition, has not repeated everything here, and both editions are worth preserving. r. h. G. NDEX OF NAMES IN VOLUME XXV.

No. 23 WEST 44TH STREET.

This Society, which was incorporated in 1869, has for its chief objects " to discover, procure, preserve and perpetuate whatever may relate to Genealogy and Biography, and more particularly to the genealogies and biographies of families, persons and citizens associated and identified with the State of New York." These objects it aims at

accomplishing :

First—By meetings for the transaction of business, the interchange of views and the reading of appropriate papers, and for discussions relative to genealogy, biography and kindred subjects. These meetings are held on the second and fourth Fridays of each month (excepting July, August and September) at the rooms of the Society, the fourth Friday meeting being usually of a social and conversational character only.

Second—By collecting and maintaining a Library of Reference of such books on History, Genealogy, Biography and kindred subjects, both in printed and manuscript form, as may in any way contribute to the purpose of the Society. Constant additions are being made to the already large and valuable collection of several thousand volumes, and contributions of town and local histories, genealogies, early newspapers and historical and family papers are solicited.

Third—By the publication and dissemination, in such form and manner and at such times as the Executive Committee may deem best, of genealogical and biographical material and information. This is mainly accomplished by the publication of a quarterly magazine known as the "New York Genealogical and Biographical Record," edited by the Publication Committee of the Society, the first number of ,

which was issued in January, 1870.

" No other work is so rich in materials which give an insight into the history of the people of New England, their manners, customs, and mode of living in bygone days."

From the late Col. Joseph L, Chester, LL.D., D.C.L., of London, England.

" To me the work, of which I possess a complete set, is invaluable. I consult it constantly, not only for matters relating directly to Americans, but also in reference to English families of the seventeenth century, concerning whom these volumes contain a vast amount of information not to be found elsewhere. There are no books in my library that I would not sooner part with than my set of the Register." IMPORTANT TO OLD NEW YORK FAMILIES.
