DE LA MARE PRINTING AND PUBLISHING COMPANY, LTD. NEW YORK 1912 A C5 7/ Copyright, 1912, by Rev. Geo. K. Ward DEDICATION '^his volume is respectfully dedicated to the memory of the worthy man to whose untiring energy, discriminating judgment and artistic taste, is largely due whatever of merit it possesses. PREFACE The compilation of the Olmsted Genealogy has covered a period of over forty years. The early portion of the correspondence of Dr. Henry K. Olmsted with members of the family, relative to this enterprise, dates back as far as 1870. From that period on, to the time of Dr. Olmsted's death, he labored incessantly upon this project, as the bulk of his correspondence amply proves. In later years the material gathered by Dr. Olmsted was put into the hands of RoUin H. Cooke, Esq., of Pittsfield, Mass., through whose efforts the work was somewhat enlarged. Mr. Cooke's lamented death left the MSS. still incomplete, and needing revision. At the request of Prof. Everett Ward Olmsted and the daughters of Dr. H. K. Olmsted, the present compiler, Rev. Geo. K. Ward, of New York City, assumed charge of the project, which is now carried to completion. The Olmsted Genealogy is essentially an " Olmsted " volume, having a larger proportion of descendants of the Olmsted name than is usual in works of this character. This is easily accounted for by the indefatigable labor of Dr. H. K. Olmsted, which covered a period of over a quarter of a century. Since the death of Dr. Olmsted, in 1896, the family has increased so rapidly, that the names subsequently received represent fully one quarter of the volume. The collateral branches are carried down in many instances to the present date. It is hoped that the volume may reach so large a number of descendants not included, that a second edition will be required in the near future, and to this end the compiler will be glad to correspond with any families of the line who are not represented. The intense interest mani- fested in this project from its inception, proves beyond question the loyalty of the family to the Olmsted name and traditions, and is a sure guarantee of its success. In prosecuting this work, the compiler has been greatly aided by the President of the Olmsted Family Association, the members of the Advisory Committee, and many others whose names cannot be here included. Mention should be made, however, of the hearty co-operation of Hon. Marlin E. Olm- sted, of Harrisburg, Pa., First Vice-President; Mrs. Frederick Law Olmsted, of Brookline, Mass. ; Miss Fannie M. Olmsted, of Hartford, Conn.; Mr. John B. Olmsted, of Bxiffalo, N. Y., and Mr. Frederick S. Hammond, of Syracuse, N. Y. The compiler is especially indebted to Prof. Everett Ward Olmsted, of Ithaca, N. Y.; Mrs. Henry S. Stearns, and Mrs. John M. Holcombe, of Hartford, Conn., for much of the information relating to James, Nicholas, and Richard Olmsted, the early founders of the family in America. Valuable data have also been furnished by a large number of descend- ants, to whom the thanks of the compiler are due. It is a matter of regret that so comparatively small a number of descendants have responded to the call for family portraits. In the event of the pub- lishing of a second edition, however, the opportunity will be afforded for greater activity in this respect, and the descendants are earnestly requested to bear this in mind, in anticipation of a later edition. There are many Olmsted families scattered throughout the country whose connection with the Hartford settlers has not been established. Some of these will be found in their appropriate place in this volume and a constant effort will be made, by correspondence and research, to bring them within the family line. It remains only for the compiler to request that those who come into possession of the Olmsted Genealogy endeavor to make known its existence to all who, by reason of family ties, might be interested in the volume. INTRODUCTION EXPLANATORY that The reference system adopted in the Genealogy s the simplest single has been found practicable, viz., the designation of each name by a to number, strictly adhered to throughout. The inquirer has only to turn the index, find the number of the page upon which the desired name occurs, represents and then trace it out in the body of the work. Where the name the head of a family, marked +, the facts regarding that family will be found upon a subsequent page under the same name in brackets. THE ORTHOGRAPHY OF THE FAMILY NAME It will be noted that with a few exceptions the famUy name is spelled throughout the volume, " Olmsted." This method is observed for the sake of uniformity, and following the custom generally approved by genealogists, i. e., of using the name as most commonly spelled by descendants, as the estab- lished name in the Genealogy. The compiler makes haste, however, to explain that in many instances his correspondents include the " a " in the 1 ast syllable of the name and a number of these favoring the orthography to which they are accustomed have written to ask why the " Olmsted " form is in- variably used in the volume. As suggested above, the use of the two forms would create confusion and mar the symmetry of the record. A similar situation obtains in the orthography of other family names. The name " Osborn," which is the one used in the Osborn Genealogy, is also spelled^ Osborne and Osburn. The name Reed is also spelled Reid, Read and Reade. In both the above cases, the bearers of the name were no doubt originally of the same family. A great many other similar cases might be noticed, but they will undoubtedly occur at once to the reader, so they are not here mentioned. As to the Olmsted name, it appears under a great many different forms both in this country and abroad, as witness the following: Almesteda, Elmsted, Elmstead, Hamstead, Hampstead, Hampstede, Hamsted, Hemp- sted, Hempstede, Holmestead, Holmested, Holmestede, Holmstead, Holm- steade, Holmsted, Holmstedd, Holmystede, Homestead, Hompstead, Homp- sted, Hompstede, Hownsted, Olmested, Olmestede, Olmsted, Olmstead, Olmsteed, Olmstedd, Ownsted, Umsted, Umstede. The compiler disavows the intention even to suggest any change in the method of spelling the name to which the individual descendants are ac- customed. THE FIRST MENTION OF THE FAMILY NAME The earliest mention of the family name occurs in "Doomsday Book" for the County of Essex, in the survey made under William the Conqueror, in 1086. It appears as follows under "The Land of Suen of Essex" and the "Hundret of Tendringe": "Almesteda (Elmsted or Olmsted) was held by Robert Fitz Wimarc. Now Suen (holds it), and Siric' of him, as 1 manor and as 8 hides. Then 14 villeins; now 13. Then 31 bordars; now 36. Then 6 serfs; now 1. Then 3 ploughs on the demesne; now 4. Then 19 ploughs belonging to the men; now 18. (There is) wood (land) for 500 swine, 22 acres of meadow, and pas- ture for sheep. 60 Then as now {semper) 1 mill, and 1 saltpan. Then 3. Olmsted Introduction vii rounceys (runcini), and 18 beasts (animalia), and 30 swine, 150 sheep, 40 goats, and 5 hives of bees; now 5 rounceys, 10 beasts, 32 swine, 190 sheep, 80 goats, (and) 2 hives of bees. It was then worth 9 pounds; now 10." —The Victoria History of the Counties of England [Essex], Westminster, Archibald Constable & Co., p. 491. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE FAMILY NAME The parish of Ehnsted is in the Hundred of Tendring, Essex. Its name " is Saxon, Elm " and " sted," i. e., the place of Elms, as being remarkable for the growth of trees of that kind.

The first will be a great and total eclipse, on Friday March 15th, at 9h. 28m. morning, but by reason of the moon's south latitude, her shadow will not touch any part of North America. The course of the general eclipse will be from southwest to north- east, from the Pacific Ocean a little west of Chili to the Arabian Gulf and southeastern part of the Mediterranean Sea. The termination of this grand and sublime phenomenon will probably be witnessed from the summit of some of those stupendous monuments of ancient industry and folly, the vast and lofty pyramids on the banks of the Nile in lower Egypt. The principal cities and places that will be to- tally shadowed in this eclipse, are Valparaiso, Mendoza, Cordova, Assumption, St. Salvador and Pernambuco, in South America, and Sierra Leone, Teemboo, Tombucto and Fezzan, in Africa. At each of these places the duration of total darkness will be from one to six minutes, and several of the planets and fixed stars will probably be visible. 2. The other will also be a grand and beautiful eclipse, on Satur- day, September 7th, at 5h. 35m. evening, but on account of the Mnon's low latitude, and happening so late in the afternoon, no part of it will be visible in North America.

  • March 5, 2007 the Honorable Connie Stokes, Commissioner Dekalb
    March 5, 2007 The Honorable Connie Stokes, Commissioner DeKalb County Commission 1300 Commerce Drive, 6 th Floor Decatur, Georgia 30030 RE: Emory Village, Druid Hills Historic District Dear Commissioner Stokes: On behalf of the National Association for Olmsted Parks (NAOP), we are writing to urge the DeKalb County Commission to file the proposed zoning overlay for Emory Village in the Druid Hills DeKalb Historic District in order to reconsider the approach to the plan for revitalization of this small commercial center. While we have admiration for the effort to strengthen the vitality of Emory Village, we have serious concerns about the impact that the scale of the development permitted by the proposed zoning overlay would have on Frederick Law Olmsted’s last suburb. Any zoning created for Emory Village should respect the scale and look of the surrounding late nineteenth century-planned and early twentieth century-developed neighborhood. The proposed zoning overlay appears to impose an early twenty first century development scheme in the center of the Historic District, presumably protected by the County because of its immense value as an historic resource. As the National Register nomination for Druid Hills indicates, “Druid Hills is the finest example of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century comprehensive suburban planning and development in the Atlanta metropolitan area, and one of the finest turn-of-the-century suburbs in the southeastern United States.” We are currently seeking to assist Riverside (Illinois), Olmsted’s first suburb, in their effort to maintain their sense of place in the face of a transportation-related proposed development in their center.

Cairns, FASLA Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 15, 2018 Assessing the Effect of the Proposed Obama Presidential Center on the Historic Landscape of Jackson Park Prepared by: Malcolm Cairns, FASLA; Historic Landscape Consultant For: The Barack Obama Foundation Date: May 15, 2018 Statement of purpose and charge: To develop the historic landscape analysis that places the proposal to locate the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago’s Jackson Park in its proper historic context. This investigation was undertaken at the request of Richard F. Friedman of the law firm of Neal & Leroy, LLC, on behalf of the Barack Obama Foundation. The assignment was to investigate the proposed Obama Presidential Center master plan and to assess the effect of the project on the historic cultural landscape of Jackson Park, Chicago, a park listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This investigation has necessitated a thorough review of the cultural landscape history of Jackson Park, the original South Park, of which Jackson Park was an integral part, and of the history of the Chicago Park and Boulevard system. Critical in this landscape research were previous studies which resulted in statements of historic landscape significance and historic integrity, studies which listed historic landscape character-defining elements, and other documentation which provided both large and small scale listings of historic landscape form, structure, detail, and design intent which contribute to the historic character of the Park.

JOHN and JANE MATHEW. He was most likely named, as the second son, after his mother’s surname. This seems to be a custom that appears among landed gentry and in several St. John generations. The first son is usually named after the paternal family by either taking the father or grandfather or current tenement-in- chief’s name and the second son takes the mother’s surname as a first name. With his father, Thomas, being a younger son himself, his marriage to the female heir of the Mathew family offered Thomas or one of his sons a greater chance of rising himself to tenant-in-chief of the Mathew estate.
