FOREWORD Trie'morning sun is casting a golden path across the rippling waters of Can­ died ZZ Z tS. summer morning. The ^^J^.^^^^^1 soon ba heard. Already vacationists are pushing their way back to their V— , and^tomorrow I must also undertake the duties of my vocation after weeks of rest, r. twofoS manner I am impelled to undertake at last, the completion of a fas- JiiatSg fielH? study andresearch in presenting here some findings about our rapidly growing family. For over twenty years I have frequented on repeated occasions some of the nationalirLSm librlries to glean information about our various collateral Kn£TbTSL seeZ to havf come to share this information with you. Herein I list son* da^T that has come into my hands from similar studies made by my father, WUliam P. Swartz, and by my grandfather, Joel Swartz, by my cousin M Alberta Swartz of Philadephia in "Three Interesting Families." My great, sreat ^cle, Augustus L. Allen also published sometime in the last years of his fcZ iSe a small volume on "The Allen Family." To their records I have added Results o? considerable independent study. Resource material concerning Sterallines' has been carefully checked, and here and there in cases of doubt tiTproblem has been explained where possible, or the reasonable inference has been Indicated. Of course under certain circumstances the lineage may be claim­ ed eren tho names and dates of certain generations may be m doubt.

Not only is this important to bring forth the results of study but this is also the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth £££ It must have been just such an auspicious day on August 18, 1827 whan Joel Swartz opened his blue eyes and lifted up his voice for the first time. He lived to ITcot one of th/most eloquent of his tines and has bestowed on us a gr.jat heri­ tage which all his descendants are to acknowledge and zealously safeguard to pass on to those who shall come after us.

August 18, 1952 Philip Allen Swartz B ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS FOR THIS FIRST EDITION OF THE SWARTZ FAMILY OF THE SHENA.NDOAH VALLEY The publication of this family record has been possible by use of spare time in crowded weeks of regular work, often in travel, and many hours of vacation periods. The result is certain lack of uniformity and consider­ able variation in style and composition due to prolonged intervals between writing different sections.

I ask for the readers1 indulgence where obvious errors occur in the typo­ graphy, due at times to mimeographing before proof reading. Some errors in information may be discovered by those most concerned, I invite you cor­ respondence. In fact more correspondence from our far flunp; clan would be helpful in preparing future supplements at appropriate intervals, easily added to this material, I personally desire important career data to be supplied by those in active years of life.

THE NUMBERING OF INDIVIDmLS

Consecutive numbering for the early family will be fomd for the first three generations of the Swartz Family and for the William Swartz family of Virginia.

Descendants of John Swartz, son of Peter, of the Shenandoah Valley may be traced by the addition of a numeral for every gen­ eration which represents the order of birth to the parent In the line. Descendants of William, son of Philip the first three numerals for the first three generations after Peter who is not numbered because we have no documentary record of him other than tradition. These three numerals identify William's descendants - 112.

Descendants of Joel, son of Philip have for the first three generations, beginning with John the three numerals - 111+. To these three are added the numbers appropriate for the successive generations.

THE NUMBERING OF THE LINEAGES

All lineages in the Swartz - Reed lines will have the first digit to represent the generation from our eldest active genera­ tion in which the woman of the new family married into our line. The second and third digits of these three numeral designations indicate where in the family circle the new family enters as you trace back generation after generation. The Swartz Line is 100 ' The Reed Line is 2J>0

The Rosecrans Line is 325 The Allen Line is 375 All Swartz Families will have the last two digits from 1-21+ All Rosecrans families will have the last two digits from 25 - H9. All Reed families will have the last two digits from 51 - 7U. All Allen families will have the last two digits from 76 - 99. The present generation lineages of wives now living will bear the shortened numerals for Joel and his descendants. For eXeorf the lineage #1+231 represents Joel, William, Howard, and Ann's " \3- band's lineage. THE SWARTZ FAMILY

THE SHENANDOAH VALL.EY OF VIRGINIA Some one has well said that the educational background of men and women high­ ly qualified for public service must begin one hundred years before their birth. Altho there is much interest in the tracing of lineages back thru the centuries, for the significance of heredity a high quality of personal character, physical vigor and intellectual capacity in the most recent three or four generations is of prime importance. THE KNOWN FACTS In pursuing the task of recording the known facts of the Swartz Family of the Shenandoah Valley there has been little of help in the written records of the family. Few reliable documents are on file among the available public records in the Valley itself. So far there is no authentic proof to indicate the name or the time of the first arrival of the family name in the famous Valley of Virginia. Pioneer life in many sections of America was not conducive to the recording of accurate genealogical data. The English colonists of New England succeeded in preserving what the Germans of Pennsylvania and other sestions neglected. So far as members of our family circle know there are no extand records of the Swartz family until the last quarter of the eighteenth century.

EARLY DOCUMENTARY According to the first census of the United States taken in RECORDS the years 1783-1785 there was no head of a family in Virginia by the name of Swartz or Schwartz. In "The History of the Shenandoah" (p.228) the Census List of Samuel Porter records the names of heads of families resident there in 1785 in sections from the North Mountain of the Fassanutten, including Mt. Olive, Tom's Brook, and the adjacent portion of the river. In the list of residents there was a Martin Black with seven white mem­ bers of his household, also a Peter Black with nine persons in his household and Martin Black, Jr. with six persons. All three had the same number of buildings on their places, one dwelling and one farm building. There is no doubt that these three families belonged to the Swartz family. It was a frequent custom for officials to translate German names when the meaning was clear into the cor­ responding English name. By the first of the nineteenth century the name Swartz occurs frequently in the local records.

PETER SCHWARTZ The first document in the Shenandoah County Court House in Wood­ stock which is of interest to the family is the appraisement of the estate of Peter Schwartz, deceased 1796 which was made March 20, 1800. Those appointed to make the appraisal brought back an inventory indicating that Peter might have been a clockmaker with strong religious convictions which would be a confirmation of the family tradition. The first article noted was an eight day clock, the second "a book of the True Christianity."

In Book E, page 395, is the Appraisement of the Estate of Peter Schwartz, de­ ceased 1796, appraised March 20, 1800. "We, the subscribers, Christian Miller, Jacob Fry, Abraham Brewbaker and Alexander Pollack pursuant to an order of Shenandoah Court made at March Court(l800) do value and appraise the personal Estate of Peter Schwartz(deceased) as followeth(viz.):- 1-8 day clock 1 - book of the True Christianity Papers, etc., At a court continued and held for the County of Shenandoah on Tues­ day, the liith of October 1800 this inventory and appraisement of the Estate of peter Schwartz deceased was returned and or ered to be recorded." u

PETER SWARTZ, JR. On August 7, 18LU the will of Peter Swartz, Jr9 was drawn. It is to be noted that the record specifically spells the name in the form now. currently used by our family. In the interest of economy of effort and of simplified spelling there may be found the reason for the adoption of the shorter nomenclature. Possibly the softer pronunciation of the upper Rhine, in­ fluenced by the prevalence of the French language, may be an explanation of the reasons for spelling the name without the "ch" which when retained gives the name a more guttural quality. The will of Peter Swartz, Jr., was probated March 11, 1816 in which the follow­ ing heirs were named, wife Susannah, son George, Peter, daughter Catherine, wife of John Kline, who received land bought of Paul Summers. There was another daughter the deceased wife of Emanuel Wendel. The given names of the sons will be a mat­ ter of interest in considering later the origin of the family in America. MARTIN SWARTZ The third early record of importance is the will of Martin Swartz dated October 10, 1816 naming John Swartz, the grandfather of Joel Swartz, as the executor of the estate. The reasonable inference is that this Martin Swartz is either the Martin Black, Senior or Junior, of the first United States census. It follows that John Swartz must be considered a close relative eithera brother, son, nephew or cousin. The theory of the family relationship to be presented later indicates a preference for the former, but unless other branches of the family have definite data, or subsequent acceptable proof becomes available, the fact can not be susstantiated.

JOHN SWARTZ The will of John Swartz is the fourth document recorded and fills more than two pages in the court house records. It was witness­ ed April 28, 1817* His death occurred the following summer as the will was pro­ duced August 11, 1817. He was a very successful man for his time and lived five miles west of Strassburg at a place later known as Lebanon Church* He was the head of a large family of children^ eight of whom were living at the time of his death. He produced a document of lasting interest to his descendants* "In the name of God, AMEN. I, John Swartz, Senior, of the County of Shenandoah, State of Virginia, being sick in body but of sound mind and memory and knowing the certainty of death and the uncertainty when it may happen do think proper to make this last will and testament." (There follows extended paragraphs Covering various items to his heirs) Wife Susannah, Philip, George, Hanna wife of Henry Wilkins, Joseph, Barbara, Christina, John, Christian* 1* Orders debts paid. 2. Leaves Susannah 230 acres. 3. Gives Philip land purchased from Jacob Grove, 100 acres. U. George receives the land purchased from John Alsep. $ out of 7 shares of land whereof Reuben Boehm died seised subject to the valu­ ation and payments herein after mentioned. 5. Joseph receives the division of land he now lives oh. 6. John receives that purchased from Ulrich Heller !?0 acres. 7. Christian has what is remaining of the original plantation. (Then follows his valuation of Philip's share as 900 pounds and orders equitable division so that all shall have the same portions if his estate.)

THE SWARTZ FAMILY IN AMERICA

To reconstruct the story of the family in the Shenandoah out of these official records requires far more research than has hitherto been possible. From some source it will be of value to have the conjectures of this presentation coni.«med, elaborated, or otherwise developed. In order to facilitate that process I s t- ting forth in this narrative, subject to later revision, what appears to bo toe probable story of a migration of an unusual family. WHENCE AND WHY It will be interesting to conjecture why those German people left the beautiful country of the upper Rhine to come to a new country. They must have belonged to the middle class. If they had been poor they could not have ventured so far. If they had been well-to-do, they could not have left their affairs so readily. That the whole family decided to migrate leads one to speculate upon the reason. It may have been a desire to escape from the bitter wars that had so tragically drained the wealth and life of their Palatin­ ate. Possible the persecution of the Catholic rulers may have contributed to the determination to seek a new life in a new land.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The tempestuous reign of Louis XIV had ended in 1715 with the memorable deathbed condemnation of his lifelong policy in his injunction to his young great-grandson and heir, "Live at peace with your neighbors. Do not imitate me in my fondness for war, nor in my exorbitant ex­ penditure. Endeavor to relieve the people at the earliest possible moment, and thus accomplish what, unfortunately, I am myself unable to do." Altho King Frederick William I of Prussia was protecting the father-in-law of Kouis XV, Stanislas Leczinski, contender for the Polish thrOne, he sent a contin­ gent of soldiers to aid the Russians and the Austrians in placing the Elector of Saxony, Frederick Augustus III on the throne of Poland. Other powers of Europe joined in the conflict of this liirar of the Polish Succession. In 1733 France be­ gan hostilities by seizing the German imperial province of Loraine. The German forces on the Rhine were unable to check the victorious French armies. Emperor Charles VI of Germany sought peace. Hostilities ended in 1735* The joint in­ vention of Great Britain and Holland restored peace in Europe in 1736.

In addition to the ravages of -ar the Palatinate, that provinve of Bavaria that lies west of the Rhine just north of Alsace-Loraine, had been disturbed by troubles about religion. The great majority of the inhabitants were Protest­ ant., but the ruling family since 1685 had been Roman Catholic. The first ruler Philip William had given equal rights to his subjects, but his successor,. .John •- William deprived the Protestants of various civil rights. The intervention of Prussia and Brunswick in 1705 gave some redress, by all accounts insufficient to satisfy some of the most loyal Protestants who soon were migrating to the American colonies in large numbers, especially from Zweibrucken. ,

MARTIN SCHWARTZ In the year 1738, two years after the end of the war, the sail- ARRIVES 1738 ing ship St. Andrew, John Stedman, Master, set sail for the port of Philadelphia, also known as Wiccacoa and arrived there October 27, 1738 with a certain Martin Schwartz on board. (cf» Pennsylvania Ger­ man Pioneers, pp 236-238, Lists 62A and B.) Three days later on the ship Eliza­ beth, Captain Hodgson, qualifying October 30, 1736 there was landed on these shores Tobias Swartz, age 26. These men might have had no connection. This name does not occur again.

JOHANNES SWARTZ On Sept. 29, 171(1 on the Lydia, JRmes Allen, Master, there 17hl arrived Johannes Swartz age 2ii. The ship was from Rotterdam, last from Deal and the"Palatines imported" took oaths to the government at Wiccacoa with Johannes Swartz or Shwartz testifying to his signature with"his Mark X." JOHANN MARTIN SWARTZ Nine years passed before the next member of this large mi- 1750 grating family from the Palatinate arrived. For our his­ tory tory this next name is important because his presence in the Shenandoah Valley at the tine of the first United States Census in 1785 is confirm­ ed in the record. On Wednesday, August 15, 1750 the passengers from the ship "Royal Union" appeared before Thomas Lawrence, Esq., Mayor. The "Royal Union" was commanded by Clement Nicholson and sailed from Rotterdam, last from Portsmouth, England, "with 350 whole freights and 500 souls." (ibid p. ii3Q) Johann Martin Schwartz was among them. He was probably the nephew of the first Swartz to arrive 6 and his namesake. He was also the first of several brothers, who came in quick succession. The parents of these sons may have been deeply religious, giving them all "the widely used appellation, Johannes or Johann, meaning "gift of God." As a symbol of clan solidarity in entering a strange new land they agreed to use their first Christian nane. In forty-five years by the time of the first Census of the united States John Swartz is a name found in Bucks, Berks, Dauphin, Lancas­ ter -'nd York counties of Pennsylvania. .. The first immigrants, Martin, Tobias, and Johannes, might not have been re­ lated, "but our theory holds that for the others there is a blood tie* At the Court House in Philadelphia on Friday Nov. 30, 1750 there L KANT PHILIP SWARTZ appeared before the worshippful William Plumstead, EaqV^ Mayor, Johann Georg Schwartz, Johann Anton Schwartz, Johann Philipp Schwartz, all passengers on the ship, "Sandwich," Captain Hazolwood from RctterdatB last from Cowes. There were some 97 passengers and 200 whole freights. JOHANN PETER SWARTZ On Friday September 22, 1752 at the State House in Philadel­ phia before Edward Shippen, Esq., Johann Peter Schwartz took the oath of allegiance to the government. He had arrived on the ship "Brothers," William Muir, Captain, from Rotterdam last from Cowes in England, (ibid p. kBl) PETER SWARTZ The ship "Phoenix" with John Spurrier, Master, from Rotter- CHRISTIAN S*rARTZ dam arrived at Philadelphia October 1, 175U. Four persons of the name of Schwartz were aboard. On two lists the names of Peter Swartz and Christian Swartz appear, once with the surname spelled Schwartz Ln both places the name of Peter is listed first which might indicate that he was a much older man than Christian. The original record gives ihe following data, "The foreigners whose names are underwritten, imported in the Ship Phoenix, Capt. John Spurrier, from Rotterdam & last from Cowes, did this day take the usual qual­ ification to the Government, 11 Roman Catholics, 25 Mennonists, Swissers 300 Souls. 55U Freights. From Franconia, Palatinate, Zweybreck."

From this data and the records of the court we know that there were two Mar­ tins and two Peters. Two were immigrants and two were in the Valley at the time of the first U.S.Census. As we do not have the ages of these men either in the list of immigrants or in the Census we are unable to say that all four were the same as the immigrants. It is fair to suppose that two of them were, even if the Juniors were still younger men who had been bom after the older men had arrived.

THEORY OF YOUNG The case that may be made that all four were found in the IMMIGRANTS Valley depends on the youth of the arrivals. In all proba­ bility the Martin of the St. Andrew arriving in 1738 was a young man in his teens or prior to military service. At the time of the Virginia census in 1785 he would have been in his sixties. It is scarcely possible that he could have lived till 1817 when our ancestor John was the executor of the will of a certain Martin, but John could have served on behalf of Johann Martin who in 1785 might still have been the Junior recorded in the census. If the conjecture that the Peter arriving in 175U and the father of the Johann brothers he might have been a brother of the first Martin. Between 1750 and 1752 five Johanns arrived, Martin Georg, Anton, Philipp and Peter. The Peter of 175k to be tte father of five boys old enough to travel alone would have been in early or middle forties. If he was the same whose death was recorded in the Valley in 1796 he would have lived to a fine old age, in his late eighties or his early nineties.

The ago of the Johann's on arrival might have been from 13 to 22. The eldest son might have been Johann Peter who delayed departure until he had finished his military service, or who had helped the father of the family send the younger brothers overseas. We do not know whether the three who travelled together were younger or older than the Johann Peter who arrived alone shortly after. On tho theory that "Uncle Martin" or "Uncle Johannes" had settled near the coastyotajg travellers might venture forth to join relatives. 7 If Johann Peter and Johann Martin were nearly of the same age and that arte in the eighties at the time of their death in 1816, it follows that as John Swartz, our known ancestor, died in 1817 there is a strong presumption that life ran out for all three of these men at about the same time and at about the same age. If this theory of the longevity of these members of the Swartz familr is to hold, then John Swartz married late in life and was over forty yerrs old when his first son was born, and was more probably fifty. If we are to infer that John was a brother of Martin whose will made him executor in 1816 and also that both were immigrants of 1750-52, then the late marriage must have taken place. John Swartz whose death occurred in 1817 might have been hem in America and would consequently belong to a younger generation than ;:,lie others. LONGEVITY THEORY John bequeathed a considerable fortune to his large family chiefly many acres of that good fertile soil. The Long­ evity Tteory which involves John's late marriage is further upheld by the query as to how John with a large family arriving in his twenties and thir­ ties could have amassed so much by farming. Frequently those who marry late have madegood savings in the early years of high productivity. This Longevity Theory is summarized as follows:- Martin of 1738 and Peter of 175U were brothers, the former the Martin Senior of ths First Census of 1785. Peter, the father of tte Johanns was an elderly man living with a rela­ tive. Martin Junior of the Census was the Johann Martin of 1750, and Peter of the Census was Johann Peter, but known in the County records as Peter Junior. John, our ancestor, married in middle age and may have been Johann Philipp or one of the others. All mentioned attained a good old age.

SECOND GENERA- This theory is supported by the general knowledge that death TION THEORY comes to many men who have toiled hard and long in their middle years. It is also difficult to suppose that John Swartz reached the age of forty or fifty before his first son was born. T This is the chief obstacle to including our ancestor among the Johann immi­ grants, but that obstacle may be set aside by noting that he named his sons Philip, George, Joseph, John and Christian. All but one had names of the Johann Swartz family. It is more likely that John died at the age of six­ ty to sixty-three than that Martin Jr., Peter, Jr., and John all lived to be eighty-five, more or less. But the family record in succeeding genera­ tions gives reasonable support to the Longevity Theory.

In spite of the interest stimulated by these suppositions, there is also much uncertainty, and too much speculation. In the absence of proof we must say that we do not know this chapter of the past. The best that we can do is to rely on the family tradition until some further evidence clar­ ifies the picture for us. The family nomenclature makes tracing back our origin to the Johann brothers altogether credible 8 CHAPTER II. THE SWARTZ LINEAGE FIRST GENERATION

LEGENDARY - 1 MARTIN SWARTZ, first arrival in 1738. He was in the shen andean at the time of the first United States Census in 17°" His death is not recorded. Supposition that he was younger brother of the Peter who arrived in 175U. There is no knowledge of his descendants avail­ able to us. 2 - PETER SWARTZ, arrived in 175U and presumed to be the man of this ns y. who by tradition is the father of JOHN SWARTZ, our ancestor, and also the father of the other Johanns. He sent his younger brother's namesake over first, and then as rapidly as funds could be procured the othas wore sent.

SECOND GENERATION 3 - JOHANN MARTIN, arrived 1750, died 1816, known as Martin, Jr. in the , Shenandoah. He appointed our ancestor, John Swartz as the executor of his,; Will. -V a - JOKANN GEORG, arrived 1750. Nothing known of him. >.

JOHANN ANTON, arrived in 1750. tf o - JOHANN PHLLIPP, arrived 1750 and may have baen our ancestor. 7 - JOHANN PETER, arrived in 1752. He was probably the Peter, Junior who/; died in..1816. His wifewas Susannah. Their children were two sons and two

daughters. v 21 - George ,y 22 - Peter 23 - Catherine, married John Kline ', 2U - Deceased wife of Emanuel Wendel. The given names of the two sons carry on the names of the Johann bro­ thers. 8 - CHRISTIAN, arrived 175U with Peter, Sr. Presumed that he was the youngest of the family.

He lived near Lebanon Church and continued to till the land he inherited from his father. On May 17, 1816 he married Regina Funkhouser. John Funkhouser from Zurich, Switzerland is reputed to be the first of the name in the Vallej She was probably his granddaughter. Her mother was Catherine Campbell. 9. She migrated with her parents from the north of Ireland. Both of her par­ ents were lost at sea on the voyage. Philip and Regina were married by Rev. Nicholas Schmuker. She died Nov. 29, 18U9. They had three boys and two girls. HI (Uli- Rebecca Ann, born Nov. 9, 1817, married Jacob Miller, died Aug. 28,. 1873. 112 (U2)- William, born Oct. 2, 1818, married Amanda Hoffman who was born June 30, 1830, They were married by Rev. St. John Rinker, Feb. 2Uth, 1852. They lived in Cottontown. The Lutheran Church there was Lebanon Church and the community now bears the name of Leban­ on. In the home of Philip And Regina Funkhouser Swartz German was the language spoken so that William was not able to speak English until he was thirteen years old. William and Amanda had thirteen children. 113 (U3)- Gideon, born May 25, 1825 and was killed in an accident in the mil] and saw mill which Philip had bought at McGacheysville, in Rockingham Co. about fifty miles south of Lebanon. This was in the years just before the Civil War. lib (Ui)- Joel, born August 18, 1827, married Adelia Rosecrans on July 18, KJ5U, daughter of Josiah and Sarah Beach Rosecrans. They had one daughter and six sons. He died March 16, 191U in his eighty- seventh year. 115 (U5)- Regina, born Sept. 7, 1829, married Henry Copenhaver, died March 15, 1882. Book 13, page 99 of the county records lists an appraisal of the person­ al property of Philip Swartz as made by Levi Funkhouser, I.P.Mometz, and James Headley amounting to *780.25. His son William was made executor and the record is dated March 18, I867. Philip only incidentally was a slave­ holder, accepting the system in the South. Joel Swartz would tell his grandchildren of the escapades of Tom whose slave wife lived on an adjacent farm. Once returning to the Swartz place he stepped over a fence and landed on the back of a bull and had a hard ride until he managed to get away. Philip's total estate amounted to a valuation of #2231*78 and was divided into three shares of *7U3.92. The legatees were Rebecca Swartz Miller, Will­ iam Swartz and Regina Swartz Copenhaver. Joel was not included because he had been given a college education*

In the manuscript written by Joel Swartz for the family reunion at South Hero, Vt. on August 18th, 190U there is this description of his father and mother. "My father, Philip Swartz, was physically strong, erect and about six feet tall. He had a finely shaped head, light hair and blue eyes. His face was kindly in expression, butmarked with individual courage. He was more than ordinarily endowed with'the powers of understanding and wisdom. He never failed from principle to be just and honorable. He talked with judgment and care. He was not particularly given to words of appreciation and compliment, but when he made friends he held them with locks of steel. His Church and the assemblies of the people for worship were very dear to him. ' "My mother, Regina Funkhouser, was born and married and buried in the locality with which my early years made me familiar. She was of medium stature, strong and active and with a clear mind. She was fair of form and face, had a beautiful ruddy complexion and her fine hazel eyes seem yet to look at me. Her wavy dark hair above her forehead framed in a face of great geniality and kindness. She was noted for her social feeling and conversational power, emotional, unselfish and self-sacrificing. She was known for her good works and unceasing in her loving ministries in the home and thoughtful for the good of her neighbors. Both of these, my parents, were pious from early life and walked uprightly before God and the world." THE THIRD GENERATION(cont.) 10

SUSANNA LEHMAN, wife of John Swartz (1) was the mother of five sons and three daughters. We have no records of her birth or death. She was probably the daughter of Benjamin Lehman, Sr. who is listed in the Cen­ sus of Virginia 1783-85«in Shenandoah Co. In the list of Michael Speagle (p 107) as head of a family of 10, Also recorded are Benjamin, Jr, with three, Isaac with two, and John Lehnan with five members in the family, Rupp in"Thirty Thousand Names of Immigrants" records on p 62 the name of Christian Leman as arriving on Aug, 29, 1730 cn the SS Thistle with 260 passengers. He could have been the founder of this family, and father of Benjamin, Sr. Some one of this family name may appear with a verified re­ cord.

THE FUNKHOUSER FAMILY REGINA FUNKHOUSER married Philip Swartz(ll) on May 17, lBl6, There is no authentic record in our possession of the line of descent from John Funkhouser of Zurich, Switzerland, In visiting the Funkhouser family in Dayton, Ohio, nearly twenty years ago I inquired from Mr. Luther Funkhouser if he could help me trace the lineage of Regina. I did not at that time have the information recorded in my father's genealogical record made in I896 when his father, Joel, was nearly seventy years of age. Nat­ urally I place this authority high in attempting to settle this problem. Mr. Funkhouser had no valid data to share with me, but William P. Swartz records that she was the daughter of Abram Funkhouser and Catherine Camp­ bell, She had a brother Levi Funkhouser. Christena Swartz, daughter of John(l) married Martin Funkhouser. Mrs. Virginia Sheppard, living some years ago in Winter Park, Fla., daughter of Isaiah and Rebecca Henkle Funk­ houser, traces her descent thru Levi to Daniel Funkhouser, probably a bro­ ther of Abram and son of John, the immigrant. She believes that Daniel ahd a daughter, Regina. Abram's son Henry married Jfery Jane Long. There is a possibility that there may have been duplication of names among cousins. It is, nevertheless, certain that our Regina was very close to Levi, because her eldest daughter Rebecca who married Jacob Miller had a son Levi Funk­ houser Miller, Letters from Cousin M. Alberta Swartz note "Regina was sis­ ter to Levi"( Nov. 13, 19U3), and also "Henry and Levi were first cousins, also to my father"(Nov. 12, 1951), but she did not indicate that Henry, known to be son of Abram and Levi were brothers. This is, however, my in­ terpretation of the records available and this would confirm my father's record of Regina as the daughter of Abram, There is a further note in father's record on p 31 indicating that the marriage of Regina, daughter of Abram Funkhouser and Catherine Campbell was married on May 17, 1816 by Rev. Nicholas Schmucker to Philip Swartz and this record, 5 believe, may be verified by search of the Lutheran Church records in the Valley.

VIRGINIA CENSUS on p 65 indicates that in the Shenandoah County records 1783 in the list of Alexander Hite Abram Funkhouser had a fam­ ily of 7, Isaac had a family of 9, and Christian had a family of 10. These with Daniel may have comprised the second generation in the Valley, and Regina, Henry, Levi, Martin, Isaiah and others may have been the third generation of record. This is a problem for further re- Search and correspondence. The Strasburg Evangelical Lutheran Church records contain references to some twenty different members of the Swartz Family. Under the date of Jan, 7, 1829 Regina Swartz was confirmed by Rev, Nicolaus Schmucker. . 12 THE FOURTH GENERATION The Virginia Branch 12 (1+2) - WILLIAM SWARTZ (Peter1, John2, Philip-3) B. Oct. 2, 1818 near Strass- burg, Va. m. Amanda Huffman, b. Jan. 30, 1830, dau. of Frederick Huff­ man and Polly Ann Pennywit Huffman. He enlisted in the Army of the Con­ federacy. Union soldiers raided his home and carried away even his wife's scissors. She begged Sheridan's soldiers not to burn their barn or take away their animals. An officer shook his fist in her faCe and said they were going to starve the people, so that a crow flying acorss the Valley would starve to death, (cf. M. Alberta Swartz, "Three Inter­ esting Families") After the war he bought,a mill on Cedar Creek, in southern Shenandoah County, five miles from Strassburg and eight miles from his former home at Lebanon. It was so far back in. the country that Sheridan missed it.. The house was a solid stone house with a fire . place about fourteen feet long with a crane and a Dutch Oven. In the winter they lived so far from churdh that William would conduct family prayers and they would sing hymns. In December of 1880 there was a three foot snow. The mill froze up and people far and wide were out.of flour and feedk In attempting to cut away the ice William contracted pneumonia and died Feb. 21, 1881» Before long Amanda became crippled and helpless. She was buried Feb. 22, 1881+* At this time two of the boys, Charlie and Solon, were ill with pneumonia. They had six daughters and seven sons, six dying in infancy.

Branch - JOEL SWARTZ(Peter , John , Philip-') .born Aug, 18, 182? near Strassburg,, Va. on the farm of his father, Philip Swartz(page'8 - 1788-1867), He mar ried Adelia Rosecrans(b. Feb. 2k, 1835 - d, Jan. 2, 1928), daughter of lvi Josiah and Sarah Beach Rosecrans of Delaware, Ohio. He died ar0 16, 191U in his eighty-seventh year.

Joel Swartz had a great thirst for learning in which he was encour­ aged by his parents. Hep studied at Woodstock Academy and had Lo escape from a second floor room when the building caught• on fire, Later' he wont

to Morgantown, W. Va,, and he graduated from Capitol University3 in Col­ umbus, Ohio., He entered the ministry of the Lutheran Church and on July 18, 185'u married Adelia Rosecrans, It was necessary for the young couple to teach school for some years in order to make a living at Cotlon town in Shenandoah County*

The first church that gave him a real opportunity was in Circleville Ohio. There he gained a reputation for liberal outlook by not observing the exclusiveness of that branch of the Lutheran Church;, Shortly after he was barred from his pulpit by his ministerial! brothers "for forsaking the fellowship of his brethren and consorting with sectarian heretics»" He was charged with opening his pulpit to ministers who were not of the same order. He had held prayer meetings at which he had persuaded some of his unordained brethren to pray. The local church voted to sustain their pastor, to withdraw from that ecclesiastical connection and to pro­ ceed in the construction of a new church. About that time a call came

from a Lutheran Church in Baltimore, Mds During the years of the Civil War this city was divided in its sympathies. The young minister with his abolitionist principles also had a father who had owned slaves and his brother William was in the Confederate Army.. His courage and tact held the church together in spite of the strained relationships between

many of its members with their divided sympathies0 In 1865 he went for a year to serve as Professor of Philosophy and Homilectics at Wittenberg College in Springfield, Ohio. While there he declined an invitation to be the minister of the First Presbyterian Church of that city. Several short pastorates followed in Lutheran Churches of increasing importance. He was in Cincinnati for 1866-67, in Carlisle from 1867-71, in Williams- port from 1871-7U and Philadelphia in 187U-75. Then came his call to probably his largest and most influential pastorate. Zion Lutheran Church in Harrisburg, Pa, He served in this church from 1875-81 most effective­ ly and had upwards to a thousand people in his congregation on Sunday evenings, the larger service of the Lord's Day. I had the privilege of calling upon Rev. Dr. Herman, the minister of this great church during the years prior to World War II when visiting Harrisburg in the interests of the Federal Council of Chore es.

My first recollection of my grandfather was when he was pastor of St. James Lutheran Church in Gettysburg. This also was a fine church. It was toward the close of his mini stry in this field in his later six*, ties. In December of 1892 I attended the wedding of my Uncle Charles to Elizabeth Howard, Grandfather was assisted by my Father and Uncle Frank, I was permitted to stand up on the pew in order to see the cere­ mony. In Gettysburg there is a strong Theological Seminary from which my Father had graduated. Grandfather's liberal symoathies wem a^4- ;oj.y challenged by some of the faculty members. Desiring to avoid oorV^- versy and to spend his later years in a free fellowship he » ;etxys- burg in I89U after 13 years in the pastorate. 19 THE FOURTH GENERATION - Rev. Joel Swartz, D.D.-OHIO-PENNSYLVANIA BRANCH Two of his sons, William and Frank, had left the ministry of the Lutheran Church. My Father, William, was serving the Central Presbyter­ ian Church in Wilmington, Delaware. My Uncle Frank was a graduate of Hartford Seminary and was well related to the Congregational Church. The Congregational Church in Steubenville, Ohio, could keep him but for a brief two year pastorate. I remember his visiting us at this time a"tor we had moved to Poughkeepsie in 1896. He had had a troublesome ear condi­ tion which was made the worse by the dampness of the Ohio River Valley. Shortly thereafter he settled in Devon. He had reached seventy years of age in his first year there, but he was still strong, erect and vigorous. I recall him riding around Devon on his bicycle. He was also a music lover and enjoyed his alto horn. On one occasion he called to us as we went there for a visit. We could find him nowhere. Presently he had us find him up in a tree reading a book and he agilely dropped to the ground to give us his usual rousing welcome. St. John's Church in De­ von, Pa. was first a community church. Later in his ministry he guided it into the Presbytery. He served this church from 1896-1907. During this time Uncle Frank had been minister of the Congregational Church in Webster Groves, Mo, A call to help in pastoral duties in Webster Groves and to preach in a small community took them to the mid-west. Joel and Adelia Swartz lived there until he was about eighty-three. His son, George, was at that time in Sanford, Fla. In 1910 they went south to live and found numerous opportunities to be useful. One day on return­ ing from a preaching engagement a severe storm came up and he became con­ fused, Losing his way he had a most trying time. When he reflected on this experience he decided to end his preaching ministry. At eighty- five years of age they moved again to Baltimore where his son, Charles, was professor of geology at Johns Hopkins Univeristy. I last visited him in the summer of 1913, prior to going to Russia. It was an occasion of rich fellowship. He took great interest in every aspect of missionary work and on my departure, as I knelt in prayer beside his chair, he plac­ ed his hand on my head and asked God's blessing on the Russian venture and on the work to which I might be called in later years. Some six months later Joel Swartz died on Mar, 16, 191i±.

One of his neighbors in Devon, Henry C. McCook, LL.D., wrote of him. "For five years I have sat at his feet in his parish at St. John's In beautiful Levonside, and he has been to me' a continual wonder. I have listened to many sermons by him that for ripeness of wisdom, for purity of language, for elegance of diction, for"eloquence, learning and vigor have not been excelled by any preachers I have heard; and I have heard many of the eminent men of the age....He remains in my experience one of the noblest examples of ministerial gifts and of divine grace, united in a loving nature with a courtly and gracious manner."

This high opinion is all the more' significant because Joel Swartz was in his seventies, an age in which older'ministers are usually left for supply work rather than the-regular pastorate. As a young man Joel was fair of coloring with blue eyes. In'age his abundant, wavy white hair and his long spade beard with smooth upper lip made him a man of note in any company. On Nov. 25, 1902 Dr. Henry Van Dyke, of the De­ partment of English, Princeton University wrote a letter to a friend of my Father's in appreciation of two volumes of poems by Dr. Joel Swartz. "At the earliest opportunity," he wrote, "I shall enjoy reading the work of a man whose face bears so distinctly the marks of divine peace and a celestial aspiration. The extra volume I shall be glad to put in the Library of Princeton University." 20 THE FOURTH GENERATION - Rev. Joel Swartz, D.D.- OHIO PENNSYLVANIA BRANCH

After the failure of the German Revolution in 181+8 some of the family wanted to change the surname to Black, as it had occurred in the first U.S. Census of Virginia and as many of the relatives had done. Joel ar­ gued for retention of the simplified German form on the ground that the name had a sturdy sound, that they were all proud of their German ances­ try, and that it would scarcely be appropriate for a family of the blond type to be called "Black."

Joel Swartz was a constant contributor to the Lutheran Observer and other magazines of the time. Dr. Frederick J. Baura, pastor of St. John's Lutheran Church of Poughkeepsie, handed me a copy of "Lutheran Woman's Work" for November 1908 which containes a hymn, "For Christ and the Church" to be sung to the tune, ">'eribah." There are half tone prints of Joel and Adelia when he was eighty. The editorial note says that they were both active in promoting the organization of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society and were present at Canton, Ohio, June 10th, 1879 when the society was organized.

He was the author of several books and pamphlets. His earliest vol­ ume of poetry was set up in type by my Father and Uncle Charles in 1877. They had a small hand press in the attic of the Harrisburg home. On sum­ mer days it was terrifically hot and they rigered up the garden hose to spray water on the roof as a primitive air conditioning method. The book of some one hundred and thirty pages was printed, bound and stamped in gold as the sons' present for Joel's fiftieth birthday. The title page, "Dreamings of the Waking Heart with other Poems - Rev. Joel Swartz. Harrisburg, Pa*, W.P.Swartz & Bro., Printers* 1877*" Twenty-five years later he brought out in 1901 a general collection of "Poems." Some of these poems should be discovered by anthologists on expiration of the copyright. He corresponded with many of the literary great of his time, and was a teacher and lecturer of note. He held degrees of A.B., A.M., and D.D. There is an unpublished manuscript of his worthy of preserva­ tion, "A Short Story of a Long Life," which was written for the enjoyment of the family when they gathered, some twenty-six kinfolk, at South Hero, Vt., Aug. 1? 1 1901+ for the Golden Wedding Anniversary of Joel and Adelia Swartz and the Twenty-Fifth or Silver Anniversary of Howard and Sarah Swartz Hildebrand.

Joel Swartz published the following -

Lutheran Hymnal Pcems 1901 Dreamings of the Waking Heart - 1877 Wedlock in Eden Lyra Lutherana 188U Wopan; in Christian Service Easter and the Resurrection 1903 A Poet's Apology Optimism at Eighty 1907 In a Good Old Age Name of God in the Constitution of the United States

He was a prolific wriier for religious and other journals and served on the Editorial Staff of the Lutheran Observer. For a number of years ne was an editorial writer of the Sunday School Times, and Christian at Work. In 1867 Wittenberg College gave him the degree of Doctor of Divinity. At his death he was 86 years, 6 months, and 26 days.

Joel's wife Adelia Rosecrans was descended from a family of Dutch origin that originally settled in Kingston, N.Y. about or before 1660. Every gener­ ation pushed farther westward. The history is full of courageous adventure, particularly during the Revolutionary War. All escaped the IVyoming Massacre, Her great grandfather, Colonel Daniel was captured by the Indians. Adelia had many of the same pioneering qualities. She invented a crib that had a change* able mattress level for day time use, yet could be raised for easier care at night. She founded an Orphans' Home in Harrisburg and was the first Pres­ ident of the Board. One of the family heirlooms is a beautiful silver coffee urn given her by the Board on the occasion of the family departure from the city. Altho she never used coffee or tea, she advised her grandson, eldest son of the eldest son, who was to receive the urn that it could be used for Postumt She liked the company producing that article because the leaders were such upstanding Christian business men. She crusaded with zeal for Prohibition, was an active worker in the W.C.T.U. and the Anti-Saloon League which Joel had helped to organize. She had amazing energy and persistence, It is reported by her grandsons in Baltimore that at one time she climbed across the roof, even tho over eighty-five years of age in order to go into a trap door leading to a section of the attic where some of her trophies were stored. She was an indefatigable collector. Much of the present knowledge of the early days of the family history is due to her careful preservation of tld records, newspapers and other memorabilia. The last time we saw her was when en route to Honolulu in the summer of 1925. The Philip Allen Swartz family then consisted of two great grandchildren on that visit to Baltimore. She had extraordinary vitality and passed away Jan. 2, 1927 some seven weeks before her 92nd birthday.

Joel and Adelia Swartz had the following children -

She loved music and passed on to her family so many of her personal gifts that the home was a center of wholesome sociability for a host of friends. " In Harrisburg, Pa. on Aug 18, 1879 Sarah and Howard 0. Hildebrand were married. He was born Feb. 11, 1853, son of Henry Schaeffer and Margaret Raber Hildebrand. He was an insurance agent, serving the Aetna Company,, first in Camden where both were active in the First Presbyterian Church of which Dr. Villeroy D. Reed was minister. At one time Mr. Hildebrand was Superintendent of the Sunday School. In the mid eighties their home brought Sarah's brother, William P., and the minister's daughter, Florence, into a friendship that united the Swartz and Reed families.

HOWARD 0. HILDEBRAND in due course became the General Agent for the Aetna Company in Philadelphia. With his advancing success came a degree of prosperity that resulted in a beautiful, spacious stone residence on Louella Ave. in Wayne, Pa., one of the most favored suburbs on the PRR Main Line. There was a fine stable on the place and Howard would enjoy riding his buckskin horse, Colonel. Many family gatherings • were held and the cousins looked forward to such events in the Hildebrand home. College years brought some of the talented young people to enjoy charades, music and fun, with the University Of Pennsylvania providing much of the college spirit and Lafayettejand Johns Hopkins also sharing. Mr. Hildebrand later became President of the Rittenhouse Trust Company which he served for a number of years until his retirement. The last years of his life were spent in Berkeley, California, in a home adjacent to their eldest son's at 500 Coventry Road. Blindness was an affliction which was moderated by the invention of the radio. He died there Nov. 18, 1935 in his eighty-third year.

Sarah Swartz Hildebrand even in her. advanced years was an eager advocate of the work of the W.C.T.U. She took part in the important educational work of that organization. She was a fearless and earnest speaker for all causes in which she believed., When she was in her mid- eighties she visited her old friends and family in the East. It was the writer's pleasure to have her company in attending conferences on world order in the thirties and to find her conversation full of rich anec­ dote and literary allusion. She will be long remembered by her children and her nephews for her loyalty to her ideals and her enthusiasms for what she believed to be right and in the interest of Christian social progress. .She died May 23, 19hk in Berkeley where her children, Joel and Margaret, were living with others of their families.

WILLIAM P; LEY SWARTZ, PhD. •• -23- llii2 - The third child of Joel and Adelia Swartz and the. oldest son to survive infancy was William Paley, born Dec. 2k, 1858 in Circlevilie, Ohio. He went to school in Harrisburg and Carlisle and graduated from Gettysburg College with the decree of Bachelor of Arts in 1881 and from Gettysburg Theological Sem­ inary in 188b. He was a school teacher in Hazelton, Pa. and served as a colpor- tuer for the American Bible Society in the Southern States. From 1866-1888 he was a missionary of the Southern Synod in Guntur, Madras Presidency, India, In this service he contracted a severe case of malaria which affected him repeatedly until an attack of typhoid fever in 1895. On May 9, 1888 he married Florence Allen Reed, in Frazer, Chester Co., Pa, She was the third daughter of Villeroy Dibble Reed, D.D., and the first daughtor of Lucy Allen Reed. She was born Oct. lb, 1861 and died Jan,. 26, 19b0. On William Paley Swartz»s return from India he served for a period PASTOR/;TES the Fifth Presbyterian Church of Trenton, N.J. for some months and in the latter part of 1888 he was called to the Central Presbyterian Church of Wilmington, Del. In 1896 he was called to the First Presbyterian Church of Poughkeepsie, N,Y. and in 1911 he became the Secretary of the New York Sabbath Committee and served until his death in Forest Hills, N*Y. April 3, 1915. /bout 1901 he received the degree of PhD from his / lma Mater, Gettysburg College. He was a member of Triune Lodge, F. & / .M., Moderator of North River Presbytery. He published a number of articles in the religious press and sever­ al monographs, ' All his life William was a thoro and capable workman at tasks which he under­ took. As a boy he manifested a keen and inquiring mind, according to his parents accounts of his nature. Surrounded by a large family of younger brothers and an older sister he early learned to assume responsibility. In his teens he learned the printer's trade artd worked as a "printer's dovii" in Harrisburg. He set up a complete printing establishment in the Parsonage and during the summer of 1877 he and his brother, Charles, labored to complete the first edition of a volume of their father's poetry, "Dreamings of the Waking Heart," They managed to have it ready for Joel's fiftieth birthday. The few copies still extant have the inscription, "Printed by Wm. P. Swartz and Bro." Because of the heat of the • attic room, the boys rigced up the garden hose to spray water on the roof, thus materially reducing the sultry temperature in which they set by hand page after page of the volume. So thoroughly did they perform their tasks that after re­ peated readings of the poems no error in their work has been detected. As a student William completed his hi^h school work with honors and his HONOR college course with a Summa Cum Laude. He became a member of Phi Gamma STUDENT DeltaW took an active part in many phases of college life. The fam­ ily lived in Carlisle and many a time at the vacation season he would walk all the way from Gettysburg to his home. There were no automobiles to pick up hitch hikers then. . „ , . - His interest in religion developed at an early age. Upon graduation from theological seminary he was ordained into the Lutheran ministry. In India he was put in charge of a printing press which he had taken with himfromthe home land! Other duties in India were teaching in a boys' school and helping in the ^^^.Sta'J^M^ and zoology and collected specimens cf numerous snakes, including a king cobra, which he brought horns pickled to alcohol. About 1909 he gave the collection to Lafayette College. After some two vears of service in India, a dispute arose in the mission station over sore ToJerll and a promise plan was worked out by the members of the mission ,„ whSh required theVoroval of the Mission Board in the States. William offer- if to Surnlnd help straighten out the affair which was J^^j££*t out into the open to the ^o^rdizin^f ^d^j^- £avL^^t^T^lSiBl-g their permission and wa,t^urn to his post immediately, Is he was having sore difficulty in persuading -2U- THE FIFTH GENERATION - REV. WILLIAM PALEY SWARTZ, PhD. his fiancee to go with him, particularly because medical advice questioned the prospect with so much malaria in his system. He postponed his departure in­ definitely and resigned his missionary appointment. About this time through the help of his future father-in-law, Dr. Villeroy D. Reed of Camden, he was invited to take the Fifth Presbyterian Church in Tren­ ton, N.J. in order to permit the pastor to accept appointment to India. Dr. C.A,R.Janvier later became well-known as a misc-ionaiy of the Presbyterian Church.

Prior to going to Trenton, William supplied a Lutheran Cnurch in Baltimore for a period. Within a few months his reputation as a winsome preacher had gone so far afield that he was called to the pastorate of the Central Presbyterian Church in Wilmington, Delaware. This down town church was of brown stone with a high steeple on King Street in downtown Wilmington,, My recollection of it from childhood is clear. There were many fine and loyal people in the membership. The people responded so well to his leadership that he had both morning and evening services and a regular midweek prayer meeting which was the general custom of that day. One evening in the summer when he was away, one of the elders was conducting the prayer meeting. Mother was at the piano. A bat invaded the low ceilinged room-, A recess was called, to put cut the intruder* Wjth palm leaf fans they finally succeeded and the elder reconvened the meeting and announced the hymn* "Under the shadow of his wings there is rest," Mother was the only one who saw the humor" of the situation and she had much difficulty in keeping from an outburst of laughter. Father was always a hard worker and often did not return in the evening until just about time to see his children off to bed, We always had a fine time with him and watched eagerly at the front windows for his return. In 1895 it was necessary for me to have a tonsillectomy which the surgeon performed with a local anaesthetic. After the operation father pulled out a ten dollar bill and told me that he was going to take me to the bank to stare a savings account,. Every birthday after that for a long time he gave his boys a dollar for every year of age, This stopped w n we went off to college I In I896 we moved to Poughkeepsie where he became the minister of the largest church in the city, the First.ihesbyterian Church. I still remember the send off given by the Wilmington C. ucch where the people certainly thought much of our parents, The silver plate given them then is still in the possession of the family, Altho he earned the degree of Doctor cf Philjscphy from his Alma mater, , no Presbyterian C liege ever saw fit to honor him with the Doctorate of Divinity. He kepi \ip~his missionary interest and the church became known as a strong supporter of foreign missions. Both Hudson Taylor and John G. Pa- ton brought vividly interesting narratives of their work in China and in the New Hebrides respectively, Other noted missionary leaders like Rev. Samuel Moffatt of Korea and Dr, Courtney H. Fenn of China came tc speak before large audiences that well filled the old brick church on the corner of Hamilton and Cannon Streets. The circumstances that led up to the call to Father from the Poughkeepsie Church were narrated to me in !9U0Twhen I assumed the pastorate of the First Congregational Church in my boyhood home town. Rev, William Bancroft Hill, Professor of Bible at Vassar College aid formerly minister of the Second Reform­ ed Church of Poughkeepsie was living in retirement when I called upon him. He had sent me the program of the Installation Service at which he had had a part when the North River Presbytery formally inducted my father into the pastorate. In appreciation of this courtesy I called upon him in the first week of my return to the pastorate here. Dr. Hill explained that Father's predecessor, Rev. Francis B. Wheeler, was growing old in the service of the Presbyterian Church„ Much beloved by the people it was obvious that presently it would be necessary for the church to call a young man as his successor , To permit a survey of likely prosp..cto uiv -25- church presented Dr. Wheeler with a purse of several hundred dollars and suggested that he take a trip to Europe during the summer of 1895." This he decided not to do and requested the people to permit hin to apply the money to pay some bills that had been disturbing his peace of mind for some time. There was nothing that the officers could do about it and they had to accept gracefully. They did subsequently prevail upon Dr. Wheeler to plan to take a day off after Christmas of that year and to in­ vite a young minister to preach for him. In some way the choice fell upon father. I do not know whether Dr. Wheeler knew him be­ fore or not. It is likely that my great-great uncle, a brother of mother's grandfather William Rufus /.lien, featured in the invitation. Augustus L. Allen was a leading member of this church. He was an elderly lawyer who had served on the building committee when Matthew Vassar gave the College that bears his name. He had also been the Chairman of the Citizens Committee that welcomed the great inventor, Samuel F. B. Morse, upon his return from Europe to take up residence in Poughkeepsie back in the 1850's, At all events the invitation came for father to preach and Dr. Wheeler was planning to occupy the pulpit with him that Sunday. In order to avoid arrival at the last minute father reached Pough­ keepsie well ahead of time with one of his best sermons stuffed into his baggage. That very night Dr. Wheeler had a fall and before morning "'he died. When father heard of what had happened he decided to throw aside his well prepared sermon and to preach simply upon some theme of comfort for the bereaved congregation, many of whom did not know of their minister's death until they arrived in church on the Sabbath day* So finely did father meet this hard situation and so well did he speak words of comfort and hope that many of the people thought of him at once as the man that they desired to be Dr. Wheeler's successor. Little time was lost in making this wish known to others* When the committee for the selection of the new minister was formed father's name was at the top of the list. The call greatly attracted him and he accepted in due time and was at work in Poughkeepsie shortly after Easter of 1^96. After a few years the men and women of the church decided to build a new edifice which when completed was one of the most beauti­ ful and one of the most modern in the east. This was an extraordin­ arily difficult task. It was commenced in 1903, the corner stone laid in 1905, and the new church dedicated in 1908. During this time father was constantly being called upon to help out the smaller churches of the area. To this very day people are repeatedly referring to his fine work, both as a preacher and as a pastor and administrator. His health had been greatly improved ever since he nearly died of typhoid in 1895. He recovered to put on weicht and by the time that he was forty five he weighed 20U pounds from which he seldom varied thereafter. As he was about five feet eleven inches tall, he could carrythis weight with an erect posture and dignified bearing, even when ridinr on his chainless bicycle. He never owned an automobile. He sought to spur the Poughkeepsie Church on to an advanced program in religious education. The church was unwilling to rive him the assistance required to make full use of the new edifice. Some even thought that now with a new church they needed a new minister. One of the elders who had taken exception to Father's strong princi­ ples of Sabbath Observance finally notified the other officers that he would be taking his letter and those of his family to another church, if something was not done to get a new minister. Most of the people were thoroughly happy in the Ion* pastorate, but for the sake of peace in the church, Father resigned even though no other church had sought him. He always had faith that the Lord would -26- somehow provide and that it was the business of- the church to hold together. Rather than cause any schism Father left Poughkeepsie early in 1911 and shortly thereafter was called to be the Secretary of the New York Sabbath Committee. He labored diligently to provide legal safeguards for one day of rest in seven for all working people. In 1915 he was placed in charge of arrangements of a world-wide confer­ ence on the Lord's Day scheduled for the Pan American Exhibition in San Francisco, California in the spring and sumner of 1915• He wrote a few monographs and published a number of his sermons. He lectured widely and acceptably. He was a college preacher who received numerous return invitations. He had travelled in Europe, Egypt, India, Alaska and extensively in the United States. His top salary was never lage. We always had a comfortable home in which to live, and there were several funds for vacation purposes that helped us as a family to have extraordinary advantages. Father was an ardent lover of the out of doors. He enjoyed fishing trips and sailing was his hobby. In I899 he purchased a 25' sloop that had been a prize winner in the Hudson races a third of a century before. It had an enormous spread of sail. With this broad skimming dish with its 11» beam we sailed extensively around Lake Charaplain. From I896 to 1900 we had lived in tents at Oak Point, between Westport and Port Henry on the west shore of the lake. In 1901 we rented a small cabin at Camp Rich and had the fun of eat­ ing in the farmhouse dining room with other boarders. The next year Father and Mother purchased the cottage at Camp Englewood, South Hero, Vt. which is now in the possession of William Crosby Swartz, We have always had boats, two sailing skiffs by the name of "Florence", the 25* launch, "Englewood", which we all used towing a steel rowboat "Ripple" through the Richelieu River and down the St. Lawrence to Quebec in 1911. Hikes to Mt. Mansfield and other expeditions stand out in my memory of Father, He was always one who gave the best he had to the best that he knew. In March of 1915 both he and mother caught severe colds* They were both taken down with pneumonia from which he failed to rally. He died on April 3, 1915 at the age of 56 years and 3 months,

Florence Allen Reed, wife of William Paley Swartz, was born Oct. lb, 1861 in Cohoes where her father Rev. Villeroy D. Reed was the pastor of the Presbyterian Church. She was the third of his three daughters. The two half-sisters were several years older. She was ari alert child, chubby and attractive even at that early period of childhood. Her father later went to Camden, N. J. whdre most of her younger years were spent. She went through the usual school routines of those days, choosing a musical education rather than college. Her proficiency was so marked that upon completion of her studies she was engaged to teach piano at the Philadelphia Conservatory, otherwise known as the Zeckwer School. Through a young couple in the church, Mr. and Mrs. Howard 0. Hildebrand, she met the young theological stu­ dent, a brother of Mrs. Hildebrand, William Paley Swartz. She was attracted to him, but did not give him at first much encouragement. She certainly did not like his idea of going to India as a mission­ ary, even though her father rather admired the young man for that purposd. Evenings either at the Hildebrand home or at the manse were largely featured by music and songs. Neither card playing, dancing, nor other usual pass times featured very much in that youthful circle, but there were many outings, and the young minister had rather high hopes when he went off to India that some day Florence would join him. If it had.not been for that mosquito bite and the subsequent malaria that brought him home, one or more of the next generation might have been born in India. But to hear Mother talk of the matter one would conclude that she would have preferred to give up the young man rather than to give up life in America with her family circle. Be that as it may, the expedition to India was concluded sometime in I887 or early 1888 and they were married in Fraser, Pa. on May 9, 1888 amid apple blossoms by Rev. Dr. Villeroy D. Reed and Rev. Dr. Joel Swartz• Life in the manse was a busy one for her. She had her first son, Philip Allen, on February 20th, I889 in almost record tine. Before that child arrived she had to establish herself as the head of a new home at 906 King Street. On returning to that city of Wilmington some years later it was difficult to figure out whether on the old site there was the YWCA building or the Gas, Li?ht and Power Co, At any rate progeny of hers would be at home in the en­ vironment of either institution. A second child, Charles Benjamin, was born in this home, but soon the church was to provide a manse next door at 715 King Street, This was a much more pleasant home and Mother always encouraged us in our watching over the throngs that crowded King Street on market days. The usual routines were carried off with precision, even to the curling of long locks of red hair on a broom stick, the dressing up in kilts and later in Eton collars over blouses, the sending off to school and the constant admonition to be careful of the big drays at the street corners. When I was nearly four, Howard Villeroy was born in this new home on October 29, 1892. Mother was busier than ever with the three of us. She had a custom of wearing a red neck piece whenever 3he felt particularly edgy. On those days we had to be on good behavior. She believed in the Scriptural injunction, "Spare the rod and spoil the child." We had more of the rod than the spoiling. She was as particular about our work as about our attire. We early learned to do simple chores about the house in spite of the fact that we usually had a house servant. She was always very reserved and rather quiet in company, spoke softly and slowly, and was always poised and fully in control of the unexpected situations that would often arise. She retained throughout her life a happy sense of humor so that even in later years she did not sdem to be growing old. She had a fine complexion and chestnut brown hair that never turned gray. There were only traces of silver. As she became older she grew somewhat heavier, but for most of her life as we boys were growing up she weighed about 160 pounds and she was 51 6" tall. When she was a younger woman in her forties I thought her positively one of the most beaut­ iful women I had ever seen. Mother would sometimes speak up in church meetings, but she was so reserved that she seldom if ever did so. She had her share of spunk and if matters did not go to her liking she would tell those of her household just what she thought. In more ways than one she carried herself like a true patrician, which of course she was. /,t the time of Father's death she was also desperately ill with pneumonia and it looked for a while as if we were also to lose her. She recovered, bore up well through her tragic sorrow and shortly afterwards -undertook to care for Uncle Frank's family in KNM&I, Ilttiaa Cratfiy* tor ****** !>*». born m the -28- SWARTZ FAMILY LINEAGE big new nanse in Poughkeepsie on Dec. 23, 190b, a few months after the big family reunion at South Hero. He was only eleven years old when his father died. She wanted him to have the sane educational advantages which the rest of us had had. Later she went to Decatur, 111. and studied in the Music Department of James Milliken University. After thus bringing her music teaching technique up to date, she re­ sumed teaching.

May 26, 19hl THE FIFTH GENERATION THE PALTIMORE BRANCH 111+3 - CHARLES KEPHART SWARTZ,son of Joel and Adelia Swartz, was born in Baltimore, Md. on Jan. 3, 1861 where his father was the minister of the Second Lutheran Church. One of my earliest recollections was a trip to the station in Wilmington, Dela­ ware, before the sun was up to go to Gettysburg. Father must have been pressed for time, because he became heavily burdened with me on one shoulder and his suitcase in the other hand. Only the opportune arrival of a parishoner who offered to carry the bag permitted our departure on schedule. Standing on the pew in the rear of the church I witnessed my Uncle Charlie's marriage to Elizabeth Arlena Howard on Dec. 12, 1892. He had graduated from John Hopkins University in the class of 1888 and from Oberlin Theological Seminary in -1892, In that year he became the pastor of the Congregational Church in Bellevue, Ohio, where he remained until 1901. In those years three of his sons were born. Difficulties with his eyes developed which led him to return to John Hopkins for special studies in the field of geology which would permit him excellent opportunity for outdoor field work. He received the degree of Ph.D. in 190li and remained at the university where he became Associate Professor of Geology and Paleontology in 1907. He was promoted to Collegiate Professor of Geology in 1910 and continued in this post until his retirement in 1931 at seventy years of age. He continued his research work and publication of many papers in his field. As Emeritus Professor he had the facilities of Johns Hopkins University to aid in his continuing studies. In 1888 upon his graduation from college he studied in Heidelberg with Dr. Heinrich Hertz in the early experiments on what are now known as Hertzian waves. He was also a fellow at Clark University. He was one of the foremost men in his field and acted as consultant to many companies interested in the mineral deposits in the Appalachian region.

PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN It was in 1935 in the earlier years of his PALEONT0L0GICAL SOCIETY retirement that he was honored by election to the presidency of the American Paleon- tological Society. It was an honor which his two sons, Joel and Frank, who had both taken their doctorates in geological research, could fully understand as high tribute to his scholarship and recog­ nized ability. He was also a former vice-president of the Geological Society of America. He was a member of the American Association for the advancement of Science.

HONORED BY STUDENTS Several classes at the university elected him AND FACULTY honorary president. Many senior classes voted him either the "most popular" or the "most admired" Johns Hopkins professor. When President Isaiah Bowman was speaking at the New York John Hopkins Club following his retirement from the presidency of the university, he greeted William H. Swartz, second son of Professor Swartz saying, "Talking about your father let me tell you a few things about him." Of this conversation, William wrote his father. "He went on to tell me then how in his years at Yale and then as president of John Hopkins he had gotten to know many professors and he had gotten to know many men who had studied under these professors and who having gotten out into the hard battle of life afterwards had beooWbetter able than ever to look back and evaluate the character and caliber of the men who had counselled and gtdded them in their university years. -29-

C .K. S. Dr. Bowman went on to say that he had never known any professor at any university who commanded such high regards, admiration and af­ fection, too, as you did from the men who had been your students. He said that this was the universal feeling towards you from men who had been your students in early years and late years, from men who had subsequently reached the top financial heights or who remained as low income professional men. They felt that the outstanding inspiration of their university career had been you, both on the basis of your mental attainments and scientific standing and on the basis of your personality and personal character. "He was talking with some people recently about an idea he would like to see put into effect - namely to strike off a special medal to be presented every couple of years to the university professor who had done most to inspire a desire to great attainments in the men under him, who had done the most in leading men in the direction of unselfishness and general character building and who at the same time had been able to achieve real accomplishments in his own particular science or profession. He thought that men like that were among the most deserving cf recognition in this country and he added that you were the first person he would think of to be given any such medal." He was active in religious work at the university and in the Baltimore churches. He was a frequent speaker before ministerial associations and was noted for his discussions of the compatibility of science with the creation stories of the Bible. His wife, Elizabeth Arlena Howard, was born Dec. 11, 1969, daughter of Charles B. Howard of Gettysburg, Pa. She has been an indefatigable worker, sympathetic with her husband's scientific pursuits and effective in the management of the big home at 2601 Lyndhurst Ave. in the Wallbrook section of Baltimore. She is now in her eighty-sixth year.

"THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1950" contain a Memorial to Charles Kephart Swartz by Joseph T. Singewald, jr. The following excerpts are quoted - p. 131 ff

"As a boy he developed a keen interest in all the natural sciences. While a high-school boy, he made a walking trip through southeastern Penn­ sylvania to collect geological specimens. His strength of character, perseverance, and intellectual vigor carried him through his college and university education under handicaps that few men would hot have surrend­ ered to as insurmountable. In 1882 he entered Gettysburg College, but was unable to continue because of financial considerations. He then stud­ ied alone, mastering such subjects as calculus and inorganic chemistry. In 188U he entered The Johns Hopkins University and in 1888 was awarded the bachelor's degree, "Prof. Ira Remsen, his advisor, states: 'During the year and in his final examinations his marks have been in every case without exception ex­ cellent,' ..'He did as good work as has ever been done in this laboratory^ Ernest and intense application to his college work, however, impaired his eyesight and general health to such a degree that he was compelled to stop his studies at Johns Hopkins, and in January 1887 he went to Europe.,,On returning he was still unable to use his eyes for study, ,. His determin­ ation to follow a career in science led to his return to Europe the next winter to study at Berlin and Heidelberg. During the year 1889-90 he was a fellow in chemistry at Clark University where he again carried on his work with the aid of a hired reader. His poor eyesight made it impossi­ ble for hiP to continue in scientific work. He entered Oberlin Theolo­ gical Seminary and received the Degree of Bachelor of Divinity in 1092, He was called to Harkness Memorial Congregational Church at Bellevue, 0, in October 1892, He married Elizabeth Howard who for many years served as his eyes doing all of his reading and writing for him..... "As his eyes recovered their strength, the yearning for a scienti­ fic career returned and in the fall of 1902, he entered the Department of Geology of The Johns Hopkins University and in 1901+ received the PhD. degree. As instructor in geology he had nearly reached the age of UU and he continued actively working in geology for U5 years until his death in 19U9, "His record as a teacher is outstanding....For 23 years the Dept. of Geology had granted only three.degrees of PhD. to Hopkins A.B.s. During the 27 years of his teaching kl Hopkins A.B.'s compared to 32 from other colleges were granted Ph.D. degrees. The student appraisal which he won year after year was aptly expressed by a class that had elected him honorary president, *His cheery smile, his never-failing courtesy, and his sympathetic interest, as well as his exceptional breadth of knowle.'-re, have won him a love and admiration granted to but few orofessors.' '-te molded the lives of hundreds of young men far outside the realms of -olo- gy whose higher education stopped at the bachelor's level," 32 THE FIFTH GENERATION - • HERMAN FRANK SWARTZ - llUi - b. May 12, 1871, the sixth'child of Dr. Joel and Adelia Rosecrans Swartz, and the fourth to grow to maturity was to see the Light of day first in Carlisle, Pa, He spent his boy­ hood in schools in Harrisburg and Gettysburg* In 1891 he graduated from Penn­ sylvania College in Gettysburg with the degree of So.B and with honors 0 "in 1893 he received the degree of M.Sc„ The following year he studied ah- the Un­ ion Theological Seminary and Columbia University in New York. Upon graduation in 1895 from the Hartford Theological Seminary he won the Fellowship in Social Sciences and went abroad for special studies in this field in Berlin. Paris and Rome. I have a distinct recollection of his return and visit to PoiTghkeepsie which the family had been anticipating for some week3, Tail, limber} olond hair with reddish mustache and abundant good humor with which his rapid speech sparkled, these and other characteristics were to make him one to whom a young nephew could look up with admiration. As he continued in his career these early impressions were developed into keenest admiration for his leadership and executive gifts. PASTORATES In 1898 he was ordained to the Congregational ministry. Both Will­ iam and Charles, his older brothers, had decided to leave the Lutheran Church, the former becoming a Presbyterian and the latter a Congre- gationalist. His father, Joel, had also previously left the Lutheran pastor­ ate in Gettysburg to become pastor of the Congregational Church in Steubenville, Ohio, and the other brother Charles was at Bellevue, Ohio.

Shortly thereafter he became pastor of the Congregational Church In Mans­ field, Mass. There he met the Kinsell family and on Jan. 1, 190! he married Omega Kinsell, the youngest of a large family. He was soon called to become the superintendent of the Congregational City Missionary Society of Cleveland, Ohio. During the next six years he gained such experience in the practical problems of the American city that he was led years later into a post of great influence and service for his denomination.

In 1907 he was called to the pastorate of the Congregational Church in Webster Groves, a suburb of St, Louis, Mo. Soon &e was joined by his father and mother. Joel began to preach in the little church in Maplewood near by. In the summer of 1909 he brought some ten or twelve boys from Webster Groves to Paradise Bay at South Hero, Vt. where his family had an attractive summer cottage, with some row boats and an inboard power boat, named the "Jferrimac." During that summer one of my college friends and I helped as councillors. We had a hiking trip to climb Mt. Marcy, the highest Adirondack mountain. With packs on our backs weighing upwards of thirty pounds we made the trip via the Rutland RR to Burlington, the SS Vermont to Port Kent-, We visited Ausable Chasm, saw the John Brown monument and Trent thru Wilmington Notch. Making our approach by the western trail we hiked past Lake Colden and Avalanche Lake. By the headwaters of the Hudson we camped one night and saw Lake Tear-of-the- Cloud near the summit. On our return we hired rowboats to go thru Upper Ausable Lake. It was there that I first met Dr. and Mrs. Wilton . Merle Smith with whom I was to become closely associated in New York within five years. The Boys' Camp venture did not bring Uncle Frank much profit. 1 recall when he wrote out my salary check he said, 'Allen, you are the only one who is mak­ ing any money out of this summer." He must have taken his satisfaction in the thought that he was helping to make some fine men out of that experience. He gave us all so much appreciation of the beauties of nature and shared with us 30 generously his own zest for living,

SECRETARY In 1911 he became Secretary of Missions for the Congregational Home Missionary Society and went to New York headquarters. The family made their home for a while In a Bronx apartment where his brother, THE FIFTH GENERATION - HERMAN FRANK SWARTZ - 33 - William who had recently left Poughkeepsie was also residing. Within a few years both families were to move to Montclair, N.J. His work took him far afield. Visits In the interests of the churches took him to most eastern, western and far western centers of Congregationalism. His platform ability was acknowledged far and wide. Realistic and vivid in­ terpretations of the role of the churches in the far western regions and at work in the largest slum areas of American cities brought more invita­ tions than he could accept. He was continually called on to address State Conferences and Associations of Congregational Churches. In 1918 he be­ came Executive Secretary of the Pilgrim Memorial Fund and Corresponding Secretary of the Annuity Fund for Congregational Ministers. His leader­ ship was successful in the raising of some Five Million Dollars to be set aside with the income to be used for payment of premiums of members of the Annuity Fund. Dividends at one time permitted a credit of '"90 a member. The decrease of earnings and the increase of members now permit a credit of |U5 a year. During these years he was an instructor in pastoral care at Hartford Theological Seminary and came in touch with many men who in more recent years have become prominent in the denomination. In 1920-22 he was General Secretary of the Congregational World Movement.

OMEGA KINSELL SWARTZ, mother of his four children was a devoted helpmeet and shared his interest in the important enterprise which took him so often away from home. In the summer of 1915 she de­ veloped a kidney infection with some other complications which required an emergency operation in the Mary Fletcher Hospital in Burlington, V*. During the process of the operation something went wrong and the surgeon asked her husband's permission to perform additional surgery which seemed essential. She succnobed onthe operating table, irnwA M ITNDSAY SWARTZ became his wife on June 27, 1917 and it was my priv-

EDNA M. LINDCAX ilege to stand up beside Frank on this important day of their lives. Following the death of my father in 1915 my mother w2 calledlon to be home keeper for Frank's four children. Our youngest Mother William, also shared the comfortable shelter of his home in Upper £S££lr. w£» Edna came to be head of the household Mother and Billie moved to Bryn llawr with Carl. PACIFIC SCHOOL OF RELIGION in Berkeley, Cal., called Herman Frank to be r President in 1922. He had arrived there in time to welcome our family home from China in June of that year. Joel H^branl waTalso there, but had suffered the loss of his home in the tragSTerkSey fire. During his administration of the noted graduate

THE FIFTH GENERATION - HERMNTRANK SWARTZ

As.I was writing this biographical note today, there happened to be a visitor, at our Rotary Club luncheon from Santa Barbara. Mr. Ben Henry was called to the head table where I was to receive from our club president a flag of Poughkeepsie Rotary to be taken back to his home club with our greetings. After luncheon I greeted him with an inquiry regarding Uncle Frank. "He is an honorary member of our Rotary Club," said Ben Henry, "and tho in his eighty-fourth year he is mentally as keen and alert as a man in his forties. • He is spending much of his time in Cuemavaca, Mexico, but he returns periodically to retain his citizenship and renew his passport. We always look forward to seeing him and he is a most welcome speaker. He is most honored and greatly beloved," HONORS From many places Herman Frank has received tokens of regard and high appreciation for his numerous services to the churches and to the communities where he has lived. His modesty has kept his reeord in Who's Who in America to the simplest details of his career, even o- mitting the names of his four children. He was elected President of the Berkeley Community Chest and received other tokens of the regard of his fellcwcitizens. He was chosen to be Preacher at a session of the General Council of Congregational Churches in Mount Holyoke in 1937, one Of the highest tributes to be given by his ministerial colleagues. In 191$ Fargo College of North Dakotaawarded him the degree of Doctor of Divinity. In 1932 the College of the Pacific gave him an honorary Doc­ tor of Laws. In 1933 his own Alma Mater, Gettysburg College, honored him with another LL.D. His permanent address is 629 E. Valerio St., Santa Barbara, California,

While attending the National Council held In Cleveland the second week of October in 1907 he was instructed by the Webster Groves Church to work for organic union. The Calendar for Oct, 13, 190? In my possession undoubtedly reflects his own spirit in the words of the editor. "If the pro tern editor could wiold the all-eompelling sceptre he would qickly join all God's people, of every name and tribe, into one great church, presenting a solid and conquering front to the enemy." Whether the 'pro tem editor' was the Associate Minister or a deacon cf the church I can not say. The Calendar welcomed Rev, Dr. Joel Swartz who was preach­ ing for the first time as Associate Pastor, and added, "He will be our Father Pastor, and his son will be our Brother." Far and wide, from coast to coast, hundreds of people looked upon him with regard and affec­ tion as "Brother," The Deaeon Editor inserted the following paragraph in that Calendar: "since the Pastor is away, where he cannot suppress the item, we take this occasion to remark that his ever cheery, hopeful optimistic spirit is a joy and blessing to all who share with him the privilege of carrying on the Chureh's work. Discouragement and failure were left out of his lexicon} he knows them not. Please God he will be the means of greatly building up this Church in grace and numbers," This appraisal made wbtn he was in his early prise is just as true to­ day,- but his service grew from a suburb of a mid-western city to touch the entire nation for more than a generation thereafter*

rolled in Oberlin CollegeP He married Susan Grace Hunter, daughter of W..B., Hunter,, Their daughter, Thelma,, was born in

Philadelphia, pa. on liar* 13f 1901, She was baptized that year on Aug. 25th in Devon, Pa., by her grandfather, Rev. Dr. Joel Swartz, pastor of St. John's Church. George entered business and shortly thereafter he was on the faculty of the Eastman Business College in Poughkeepsie and lived on Church Street. Sometime later he opened in Camden, N.J. a business school and remained there until he and his brother William became interested in truck and citrus property in Sanford, Fla. The family lived by Silver Lake for several years, but business proved more appealing and he became assistant to one of the Vice-Presidents of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. and served in the headquarters building at Madison Ave. and 23rd Street in New York for a number of years. Ho was next assigned to have charge of the office of the company in Coates- ville, Pa. where I visited him several times in the mid-thirties. On his retirement a few years later they moved back to Sanford, Fla. After the death of Grace Hunter Swartz about 1950 he married a second time Ruby . During the summer of 1953 he was enroute to California to visit relatives there with Ruby. He was driving thru Texas on a re­ latively straight and open highway and according to witnesses observing safe driving conditions. A head on collision occurred which was in­ stantaneously fatal to both George and Ruby. They died Aug. 5, 1953*

THELMA SWARTZ FONTAINE was married Elmer Bernard Fontaine, an engineer llli5l who worked in the construction of the Hudson tubes. When the children were still young he was away from home for consider­ able periods. He and the family separated in 19U3. Thelma entered show business and has lived in a number of places including, Tuse on, Ariz., Victorville, Cal., Orlando, Fla, She has her credentials to teach both in Arizona and in California. She has built a house in the Catalina mountains seme twenty-five miles from Tuscon up among the pines and snow* Teaching English and dramatics with French and Spanish makes her career full of interest.

THE SIXTH GENERATION - JOEL HENRY HILDEBRAND - 37 - SON OF SARAH SWARTZ was born in Camden, N.J., on Nov. 16, 1881. His AND HOWARD 0. HILDEBRAND father moved in the early nineties to Wayne, Pa. where he was educated in the local schools. He attended Radnor High School where his work was of high order4. During his boyhood he also developed inoc a fine all round athlete. He matriculated in the Class of 1903 at the University of Pennsylvania and completed his undergraduate years with distinction both as a scholar and as an athlete on various class and university teams, In 190U he was the stroke on the Penn Freshman crew and rowed in the famous Poughkeepsie Regatta. He was the pace setter on the four oared crew and later was stroke on the 'Varsi­ ty Crew. During these years Penn was a leader in this field of sport and entered a crew in the Henley Regatta. He also played football. Upon his graduation he had the unique distinction of winning two high scholas­ tic honors, both Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma XI. He was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. He gradHttcd with the degree of Bachelor of Sci­ ence and was appointed to bo instructor in Chemistry in Pennsylvania in 1907.

The previous year he had studied abroad at .the University of Ber­ lin following the award of the Ph.D. degree by his Alma Mater in 1906. Some years later when Joel was being honored by theNew York Section of the Am­ erican Chemical Society Prof. Herbert S. Harned of Yale University was speaking upon his career in the field of Physical Chemistry. "His col­ leagues soon recognized here was a man who knew what he wanted to do. He was enthusiastic, able to concentrate, imaginative, clear headed, able to explore the foundation of his subjects."

MARRIAGE On Bee. 17 > 1908 he married Emily J. Alexandcr(b* Jan. 17, 1886) daughter of Edward Pratt Alexander and Euretta M. Andrews of Philadelphia. In 1913 he became assistant professor in Chemistry. Prior to American entry into World War I he went to the University of Cal­ ifornia. By this time there were two children in the family Louise and Alexander. He enlisted in the Chemical Warfare Service with the rank of

Captain and served at Hanlcin Field near Chaumont where later he became Commandant* He received his commission as Major on June 18, 1918 and on Nov. 8, 1919 he was promoted to Lieut. Colonel. He was honorably dis­ charged Dec. 28, 1918. He was awarded the D.S.M. for his part in the A.E.F. Gas Defense program.

WAR SERVICE In World War II he was a member of the Chemical Referee Board of the War Production Board in 19U2-U3. Then he was expert consultant on the military planning division of the Quartermaster Corps from 19U2-U5. The British Government awarded him the King's Modal in I?lj8 He also received a Citation from the Array and Navy for OSRD service in World War II.

CALIFORNIA In 1917 he became associate professor and in 1918 he was pro­ moted to professor at the University of California. For the years 1923-26 he served as Dean of Men, but his greater interest in re­ search and teaching induced him to concentrate on those responsibilities .; at the University. In 1936 he was the Faculty Research Lecturer. In making the announcement, Prof. W.L.Jepson, spoke for the committee in charge, "This is the highest honor that the Academic Senate can confer upon one of its members. As a teacher Prof, Hildebrand has served the university with great distinction. No appraisal of his work would be com­ plete without mention of his investigations in the teaching of chemistry. The rapid expansion of the field of chemistry has placed a constant pres­ sure upon old teaching methods. He has been continually alert to the sit­ uation, trying many experiments and judging the results by the ^c hie veins nts - 38 - THE SIXTH GENERATION - JOEL H. HILDEBRAND TEACHER His lectures in general chemistry and his text book, 'Principles of'Chemistry,t reflect his genius in solving these problems." On Mar. 30, 19$2 Hale Sparks, the University Explorer was broadcasting on the CBS Stations KMX from Los Angeles and KCBS from San Francisco about Joel's work, under the caption "Discovery in the Sun." He was giving credit to Prof. Hildebrand for first suggesting that helium be mixed with oxygen for deep sea divers. Thanks to the aid of helium they can now de­ scend to more than 500 feet below the surface. They can go deeper, remain longer and return faster in safety, Mr, Sparks said, "When I visited Prof. Hildebrand in his office in the new Chenistry Building, he had just return­ ed from a quick trip to a meeting of the American Chemical Society in Wash­ ington, D.C,, where he received a $1000 award for his services to chemistry Education and where he delivered an address on "The Making of a Teacher," "Prof, Hildebrand's philosophy of education is attracting much atten­ tion, as you might expect from a man celebrated for accomplishments in many fields, not the' least of vjhich Is the teaching of some 1+0,000 freshmen in his long career,,,. The most important results follow not so much the di­ rect pursuit of practical aims, but more fundamental ventures into the un­ known which are motivated solely by scientific curiosity. This has coo3 to be known as'pure'research. It's the lifeblood of fresh thinking which adds new truths to Man's total store of knowledge.,. With alert, trained, curious minds seeking new light, the frontiers of knowledge advance like a prairie'fire, and practical applications spring up behind the blaze. But if free, basic research is curtailed in favor of experimentation for immed­ iate practical'ends, and if young, curious minds'are not sparked by a pas­ sion for truth, the prairie fire will die from lack of the air of free in­ quiry;,.,These views are basic in the educational philosophy of Dr. Hilde­ brand, who is completing 39 years of teaching in the University of Califor­ nia, He believes the successful teacher is the one who ignites that spark of curiousity. That Prof. Hildebrand has this ability is attested by the careers of hundreds of scientists and engineers who caught some of his con­ tagious enthusiasm in Freshman Chemistry, or who were encouraged to break new trails in their graduate research. Prof. Hildebrand is retiring this June, having reached the age of 70, But he has lost none of his enthusi­ asm for skiing, and mountaineering, as well as for research and teaching,"

SCIENTIST Prof, Henry Eyring of Princeton University was outlining some of Joel's accomplishments in scientific research upon the oc­ casion of the Presentation of the William H. Nichols Medal. "His direct­ ness and experimental simplicity in the development of the hydrogen elec­ trode was the principle cause of his call to the University of California in 1913 as Assistant Professor, In France with the Ordinance Reserve Corps he coordinated research in the field under war conditions. His work has included electro analysis, spectrum analysis, flotation of emulsions, and vapor density. He is noted for his v/ork in the general problem of sol­ ubility. He has published forty papers(up'to 1939) in the American Chem­ ical Society Papers, 90 papers, three books, joint editor of three others and has prepared 28 other papers and articles. He proves the findings that the logarithm of the activity is proportionate to the square of the concen­ tration. If you want to understand liquids in solution you must know Hil­ debrand,"

OUTDOOR LIFE From early days Joel was an ardent out door advocate. He was my first swimming teacher. We made a long canoe trip in the summer of 1905 with Karl Bloch, later a prominent merchant in vooria, Illinois, and William Smith, later to become President of the famous .r xh Brothers Cough Drop Company. Starting at St, Johnsbury, Vt,, we descer- od the Connecticut River to East Northfield, Vt,, for the Student Conference). THE SIXTH GENERATION - JOEL H» HILDEBRAND - 39 - He was an adept canoeist and ran some of the difficult rapids with real skill. As a swimmer he was a natural and had a trick of keeping water ott of his nose by curling his upper lip. During several summers on Lake Champlain, first in tents at Oak Point on the west side between Port Henry and Westport and later at South Hero we had ample opportunity to sail to­ gether in two skiffs, Florence I and II and in the old Hudson River skim­ ming dish, the Breeze. With his sister Margaret we excelled in'dramatios in home spun charades. The cottage that he and Emily built there had to be left behind all too'soon when they moved to the Pacific Coast*

During the summers there, even while their children were young they would take pack horses and go camping in the Sierras. At the age of 1+0 he took up skiing as his children became old enough to enjoy the sport* There was a cartoon in one of the U. of C. student publications of Father Time making haste down hill after Prof. Hildebrand who with skillful ease was eluding his pursuer. At one formal occasion the concluding comment of the toastmaster in speaking of him was "Good luck to the only man on the University of California Faculty who can dive successfully from the High Diving Platform."

OLYMPICS He was active in the development of the Sierra Ski Club and be- 1936 came the Manager of the U.S. Ski Team that went to Germany in 1936 Olympics. He was competent in the German language as he had also studied there in 1930-31. He served as President of the Sierra Club for 1937 - 1|0,

HONORS Dri Hildebrand has been a Follow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and was President of the Pacific Divi­ sion for 1933-3U* the American Physical Society, honorary fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Councillor-at-Large of the American Chemical Society, and the National Academy of Sciences* In 1939 he received the Nichols Medal, Guthrie Lecturer* Physical Society, London, for 19U+* Walker Memorial Lecturer, Edinburgh in 19UU. He has served as the Assoc­ iate Editor of the Journal of Physical and Colloid Chemistry, and of the Journal of Chemical Education since 191+6*

HIS FAMILY Shortly aT ter the serious Berkeley fire in the early 20(s he acquired land on Coventry Road where he built his own home at 500 and then provided a home for his aging parents across the street*

THE SIXTH GENERATION - THE SAWYER - HILDEBRAND FAMILY MARGARET HILDEBRAND, b. Jan. 29, 1885, daughter of Howard 0. and Sarah lllj.12 Swartz Hildebrand of Camden, N.J. and Wayne, Pa. attended local schools, Radnor High School and Wil­ son College in Chambersburg, Pa. from-which she graduated in 1906. In June 1910 she married William Allfred Sawyer who took both undergraduate and medical courses at the Univeristy of - Pennsylvania. The Sawyer family lived in Des Moines, Iowa. Margaret, a strong and dynamic person with marked loyalties and definite social ideals, enjoyed out-door life and v/ould extend herself for friends and family. She had keen enjoyment of humor and especially during her early years burst out in contagious laugh­ ter. Her singing voice was rich and full and she could play her own ac­ companiments on the piano. She loved boating and horseback riding, kept beautiful dogs such as the Scotch collies, Duke and Lord Dudley, of her home in Wayne. She was an ardent worker for temperance and other social reforms. She worked zealously for the,cause of peace and took deep inter­ est in the League of Nations and in the formation of the United Nations. Dr. Bill was called to be the head of the Medical Department of the East­ man Kodak Company and pioneered in the liberal program of industrial med­ icine which had the support of George Eastman. He continued in charge of that work until his retirement a short time ago.

Margaret and the children had interests in California and Robert and Phyllis were near her during her last years in Berkeley. Stricken with a malignant growth she died Feb. 20, 1951. Dr. Sawyer married Helen Cedarquist, a social worker in Rochester and they live at 1001 Penfield Road, in the Brighton section of Rochester, N.Y.

June U4, 1921 to Ruth Elizabeth Fowler (b, Nov, 2, 1900) daughter of Harry Keedwell Fcwler and Mary Catherine Billington, d, Feb, 3, 1951. Born in Wilmington, Delaware, second son of William P. and Florence Reed Swartz, Carl as he was known by family and friends won scholastic distinction of the highest level In the family. He was also an accomplish­ ed leader in student days and in his chosen career of the ministry. After childhood years in Quincy School in Poughkeepsie, noted for preparing the children of most of the leading families of the city for preparatory schools in which many won scholastic honors, Carl went to Riverview Academy with other local day students. In his fifth form year he was promoted to battal­ ion adjutant, won various prizes for scholarship and entered Lafayette College in the Class of 1911. In college he took many honors, won the com­ petitive monitorship his freshman year, played on the football squad, took part in Literary Society events, served as President of the YMCA, became a Student Volunteer for Foreign Missions, and was a member of the Delta Upsilo Fraternity. He was called by college friends by his nickname "Ma" Swartz even in later years, brother Philip /lien having naturally been called "Pa." Upon graduation he was awarded the Rhodes Scholarship for general leadership, scholastic excellence and athletic interest. He entered Merton College, Oxford, and received his Oxford degree in June of 191U. During vacation periods he had travelled extensively on the continent and throughout the British Isles. After the outbreak of the World War he vras delayed in returning and finally crossed on the SS Baltic. His years of theological study at Union Seminary manifested the same brilliancy and he graduated "Sunna cum Laude," class of 1917* He waived the scholarship for European graduate studies in order to begin the pastoral ministry. His seminary,experience included the pastorate of Forest Hills Conmunity Church, succeeding in the part time ministry which Father William P. had carried on from the fall of 191h until his death the following spring. After a year in this responsibility he was invited to become an Assistant Student Minister at the Central Presbyterian Church of New York City with Dr. Wil­ ton Merle Smith. This was a post which Philip Allen had filled in 19liW5. That fall of 1916 the latter succeeded to the pastorate of the Forest Hills Church, Upon graduation from Union Seminary, Carl, as we were accustomed to call him becaae the Assistant Minister in the Presbyterian Church of Bryn Mawr, Pa., with Rev, Dr. Andrew Mutch as the senior minister. His next pastorate was the Wood"1 n Presbyterian Church of New York where it was possible for him to continue his studies at Union Seminary. He won high honors in attaining the degree of S.T.M. . '. Later he was given the honorary doctorate of divinity by Blackburn College of Carlin- ville, 111., where he was also araember o f the Board of Trustees, In 1921* Carl was called to succeed Dr. W.C. Covert, as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, 111. This had been the church form­ erly served by Dr. William P. Merrill, noted pastor of the Brick Presby­ terian Church of New York. It was situated on Grand Boulevard at about UOth St. on the South side of Chicago. The first world war had brought so many Negroes to work in the stock yards and other south side indus­ tries that an influx of people crowded Into the old dwellings. Sir-Is family homes would house from three to six or even more families. The neonS of the First Church Parish had to travel for more than a mile thru the black belt. It was soon obvious that the church would ne^. i.o make a strategic move or merger. Negotiations were concluded in a con­ troversy in which some wanted to take the assets of First Church to a 4*7- THE SIXTH GENERATION - CHARLES BENJAMIN SWARTZ IN CHICAGO down town location, merging with, I believe, the Second Presbyterian Church situated in a wholesale section of Chicago. The great,ja^ppity of the officers and most of the people wanted to unite with the Woodlawn Church

just south of the University of Chicago. ; Certain officers of the Chicago Presbytery complimented me upon the extraordinary skill of my brother in dealing with this delicate diplomatic emergency and particularly mentioned how he led the church thru the difficult proceedings with the finest Chris­ tian charity and character* Upon completion of the merger, Carl was no longer needed at First Church which was ably served by Dr. William H. Bod- dy, the minister of the Yfoodlawn Church,, During his time in Chicago, he served in numerous church and civic relationships among which was member­ ship on the Board of Managers of the Presbyterian Hospital.

GALESBURG, ILL. In 1927 the First Presbyterian Church of Galesburg, 111. issued a call with the added inducement of limited teach­ ing responsibility at Knox College. The problem of "town and gown" re­ lationships was with him constantly here, but by almost every standard he had a successful and promising pastorate* He was elected a member of the General Council of the Presbyterian Synod of Illinois and held this office as long as he was in Galesburg.

BLOOMINGTON, IND. His longest pastorate then followed in the First Pres­ byterian Church in Bloomington, Ind. to which field he was called in 1931 largely because of his success in his work with faculty and students. During the trying years of World War I, Carl had served with the Amy Y.M.C»A. He became director of religious education in col­ leges in the Department of the East. War Work Council of the Y.M.C.A, As First Church in Bloomington was responsible for the v/ork of the Westmins­ ter Fellowship among the students at the University of Indiana, Carl was qualified in an exceptional way for such combined leadersrh*p.' The ar­ rangement permitted him to have student assistants who changed frequently during his thirteen years in Bloomington. He also served as Chairman of the Commission on Organisation of the Council of Churches for Indiana from 1937-39. He was Prssident of the Indiana Pastors' Convention in 1937* In 19U3 he was elected a member of the Board of Directors of the Indiana Council of Churches and he was also a member of the Council of Synod of Indiana Presbyterian Churches in 19U3.

HANOVER COLIEGE In 19U5 he was called for life to Hanover College, situ­ ated on the banks of the Ohio River a few miles from Mad­ ison, to serve as Professor of Religion" and Philosophy. Immediately his courses became markedly popular* He was in demand among the churches of the state as an interpreter of the special functions of a Christian col­ lege. President Albert Parker, an associate of mine in missionary work in China, was free to concentrate on college administration and financial promotion and relied more and more on Carl to accept the speaking appoint- nebts. With his rare sense of humor and his high appreciation of peo­ ple as well as his acknowledged scholastic attainments Carl met these responsibilities with great acceptability.

WRITER For years Carl had been an ardent student of the literature of power. He was a poet of genuine stature and it is the hope of the family that sometime his best writing may be published for the de­ light of the larger audience which attends successful writing. Some of his sermon manuscripts should-also be shared in this way. His genial manner and his general erudition made him one of those rare preachers who appeal to those from an academic environment and the rank^and file of American townspeople. -THE SIXTH GENERATION - CHARLES BENJAMIN SWARTZ FAMILY CLUBS In college Carl was a member of Delta Upsilon and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He became president of the Bloomington Kiwanis Club and in 1938 was lieutenant governor of Kiwanis.

By the early post-revolutionary years several families, probably of the surname "Swartz," were on the record in the Virginia Census of 1783-8$ under the name, "Black." In the Shenandoah there were the following: List Household • / Black, George #6U 3 white Martin 66 7 white Martin, Jr 106 Peter 63 8 white Peter 106 Hampshire County John 26 1+ white Prince Edward Co. John 100 5 white As the Peter Schwartz who died in 1796 with property in the Shenando­ ah may also have come from Pennsylvania with property there, and in all probability may have lived there prior to the Revolution. It, therefore, is interesting to ascertain if somewhere in Pennsylvania there might have been a family group with the names current in our branch of the Swartz family. In order to provide the material for further-research and at least for conjecture, I am giving data from various sources bearing upon the families of our surname in Pennsylvania in the latter part of the eigh­ teenth century. JOHN SWARTZ IN There are twelve names in this census of men by the name THE CENSUS OF of our ancestor, John of the Shenandoah. By the year 1790 1790 our ancestor could have had two sons under 16 only if the census was taken in his region in the last seven weeks of that year. His eldest son, Philip, was born in 1788. George, the second son, was born on Nov. 2, 1790. On the theory of John's birth in the colonies, as I have designated "The Second Generation Theory," the possible date of his birth was between 1755 - 1765 with the years of the 50's preferred. MARRIAGES In the Pennsylvania Archives, Second Series, Vol. IX there are Marriages of Swartz couples as follows:

t FeD, 3 - John Peter Swartz and Sophia Margaret Melber Sept.19 - John George Swartz and An. Christena Be Id, wid. 1759, Feb.llj. - Philip Schwartz and Christina Bleckler (p.3U5) 1786, Jul.23 - Philip Swartz and Susanna Henrich (p.l+09)

It is possible to conjecture that either John Peter or John George could have belonged to the family group described previously. If the former had preferred to be called by his middle name after moving into the Shenandoah Valley he might well be held to be the Peter #63, listed above with a son, John, livingfitill under the parental roof.

Of the twelve "John" names in the Census only the following could . qualify in having one or two sons under sixteen years of age: #11+3 - Lancaster Co. #270 - York Co. #30 - Berks Co. #285 - York Co.. - 84 - SOME PETER SWARTZ FAMILIES ,OF PENNSYLVANIA

Much of the record upon which this record is based has been generous­ ly supplied in extensive correspondence with Mrs. E.B.Barghoorn of New Haven, Conn., whose husband is descended from a Peter Swartz, the #3 in 5?*£°S?Wlng record» ^her has l*en supplied by Mrs. Philip Mer­ edith Allen and from "Early Pennsylvania Births" by Fisher. Mrs. F. Spencer Roach of Philadelphia has been searching for information concern­ ing the descendants of Andreas and Abraham Scwartz or Schwartz who were Mennonites.

#1 - PETER SWARTZ, SR. who lived in White Deer Township, Northumberland County, now a part of Union Co., Pa., died inte­ state. Letters of administration were granted on Nov. 5, 1803 to Peter Swartz, Jr. There is no record of his death occuring in that county at this time. Neither is there proof that Peter, Jr. was a resident at that time of that area* Peter, Sr. was probably born well before 1735 or as early, as I7I84 He could have been Johan Peter in the family lineage*

SECOND MARRIAGE In 1772 there occurred the first wedding on record in the "Annals of Buffalo Valley," according to Lewis, (cf. p U9 of edition of 1887) Magdalena, widow of Michael Weyland, Sr., was married to Peter Swartz, Sr. This clearly indicates that there was a Peter, Jr., and the inference is that this was a second marriage for both parties who had children by 'firstmarriages. Peter, Sr., then moved upon theWeyland place, "described as containing 300 acres at Sink­ ing Spring, Shikellamy's old town. On the 18th day of December Mrs. Swartz took out letters of administration upon her former husband's estate, the first ever issued in Northumberland County, Mrs. Swartz filed her account 8th September I77L. in which Peter Swartz joined....In the February 1776 sessions White Deer was set off from Buffalo, Its first officers were - inter alia - Peter Swartz, Constable, (p 89) Additional Residents

or Lotables in White Deer in 1780 (p 182) Peter Swartz, Jr."

FORT SWARTZ In I78I on Sept. 8th General Potter marched a body of 170 men to Fort Swartz and then up to Col. Kelly, who lay at the mouth of White Deer Creek, Fort Swartz was most likely named for Peter Swartz. He lived on the farm now owned by Honorable George Miller. (1877) (ibid p. 193)" "Days "Historical Collections" says that this fort was a mile above Milton, but as General Potter says nothing of crossing the river, it was no doubt the block house at Peter Swartzt

#2 - PETER SWARTZ, JR. one of the sons of Peter, Sr., may have been the eldest of several children. He is named in the tax list of White Deer Township for I78O with the name of Peter, Sr. It is not known when Peter, Jr. was born, but it was probably about 17U3 as there is a note of an enlistment at the age of 22 of a Peter Swartz who served in the Northumberland County Militia during the Revolutionary War. His name is found in the list of those who received depreciation pay in Northumberland Co. and is found on Page 382, Vol. k, in the 5th Series , Pennsylvania Archives. Peter, Jr, married Mary Weyland, his step mother's daughter, Peter served in the companies of Capt. John Snyder and Cap­ tain Michael Weaver of the Northumberland County Militia.

JOHN SWARTZ Also serving in the Northumberland Militia were John Swartz GEORGE SWARTZ and George Swartz. Mr. Dunkelberger of Selinegr^/e ••'r->+.a Mrs, E.B.Barghoorn that John Swartz, Sr. may have b en ohe Captain John Black on the Revolutionary War Rolls. He was assess >d for SONS OF PETER SWARTZ, SR. #1 OF PENNSYLVi.NI/, 85"- for the first time in Penn Towrfship in 1772 as owner of $0 acres. There was another," John Swartz, who in 1780 was a private in Simon Harrolds party of the Northumberland County Rangers serving on the frontier. There was a John Swartz, Jr. who was assessed for the first time in 1792. He died in that township and letters of administration on his estate were granted to John Swartz on Oct. 31*. 1801+•

When Mahantango Township was formed there were on the assessment roll John and Martin Swartz, Abraham, Peter and John Swartz, Jr. Martin Swartz, of whose name there were tvro in the Shenandoah Valley in 1785 Census. He had the following children, a daughter, Maria'Eva, b. Far. 16, 1800 who was baptized at Grubbs Church, Chapman Township, a son Ored, and a son, Martin. i There is a reasonable possibility that the Peter #1 may have been our ancestor. We know that he had sons by the names of Peter, John and George and that a Martin Swartz was closely related to John Swartz who became his executor in Pennsylvania, just as our John Swartz was the executor for Martin's estate in Virginia. On Oct. 31, 180U letters of administration on the estate of Martin Swartz were granted to John Swartz and Adam Light. Sureties, John Meyer and Peter Limbert, Northumberland Co., Pa.

This theory is based on the assumption that Peter #1 and John our an­ cestor left Northumberland to join other relatives in the Shenandoah after the revolution, Martin and Martin, Jr. also left for Virginia, but retained some property in Pennsylvania. Peter died towards the end of the century, but due to distance no disposition of his property was possible for some years, S^rtly afterwards Martin, Sr. and a John Swartz, Jr. died. Their estates were administered by our John Swartz who may have gone back from Virginia for the purpose. The old homestead of Peter #1 and Magdalena Weyland Swartz, his second wife, was in the possession of the Hon, George. Miller in 1877. Now the eldest child of Philip Swartz #11 in our lineage, who was the eldest child of John Swartz, #1 in our lineage, was Rebecca Ann( 1817-1873). She mar­ ried Jacob Miller, The key to this conjecture which would unlock this whole problem is'further knowledge of George Miller's line of descent. He might very well have been the son of Rebecca and Jacob. We have a newspaper clipping about the death of Mrs. Levi F. Miller whose husband survived her. His middle name was probably Funkhouser. The clipping was from the Stras­ burg News, dated "ember 20, 1905." Levi might have had an older brother, George, Who will make further studies of this1 problem? I had expected

this past week to drive over to Williamsport and Snnbury to check over old records of sale to George Miller and further Swartz data that may be ex­ tant. This heat wave with temperature in the high 90 - 102 degrees has discouraged such travel for the present. ELIZABETH SWARTZ is recorded as a daughter of Peter Swartz #1 above. She married Rev. John Michael Bashore who served as

a member of the C0mmittee from Northumberland County in the Revolutionary period, John Bashore was killed by the Indians in 1778, Br, Fisher men­ tions another daughter, Rachel, who married Henry Hill, -THE SWARTZ FAMILY. "OF PENNSYLVANIA - PETER SWARTZ #3 and #1;

M «, JS? ^f* S£*°*JTJ\lliam Brera^ and the Mayflower pilgrims landed in Massachusetts the Dutch were well established along the Hudson River. Altho their tenure was to be ended before the century was over they have lert a fine record and an important heritage, much appreciated by those of us who live to the influence of America's greatest city which the new arrivals bought for some t2h worth of materials from the local Indians.

S^F ™SN AND * the Kine's *fansion ^ ^ Netherlands a daughter ANNEK15rE WEBBER was born to Wolfert Webber and his wife Catherine *«r.,-.-,.« Jonas Webber. Anneke, b. 1605, was a granddaughter of William the Silent, Prince of Orange, one of the best monarchs of that age of colonial expansion. The Prince willingly acknowledged his pater­ nal responsibility for his son, Wolfert, by his secret morganatic marri­ age. He had at least twelve other children by his four successive wives. Anneke was a lover of nature and all out doors. She fell in love with the horticulturist on the palace grounds, Jan Roeloff Roeloffson of Masterland and so displeased the Royal Patron by their marriage that he left Anneke's share of his will in trust to the seventh generation. The young couple emigrated to America in 1630 On the ship "Eindracht'j a nane of significant portent meaning "Union." As surnames were not yet in gen­ eral use it is a mark of this man's liberal outlook that he took the name of Roeloff Jansen rather than his father's and went up the Hudson to the estate of the Patroon, Killian Van Rensselaer and located at Beverwyck near Fort Orange in the vicinity of Greenbush east of the Hudson. His income was some $72 a year and he remained there for three years. In 1633 the family returned to New Amsterdam where he obtained a grant of 62 acres of Manhattan Island from Van Twiller. He also received a val­ uable grant of land^near Red Hook, (cf. Ulster Co. Probate Book of Deeds Liber I p. 65) Shortly afterwards the family sailed far RKcifop Brazil, the records of the church there contain note of the baptism of Sarah and probably of the other three children. He died in 1637 leaving Anneke in her thirty second year with four small children. During the winter of 1632-33 Roeloff had taken his eldest daughter, Sarah, on a trading trip to the creek that enters the Hudson between Red Hook and Hudson, N,Y, They needed grain as the harvest had been poor, but an early freeze pre­ vented the party from returning to Beverwyck until the spring thaw. The interval proved most useful to Sarah who learned to speak the Indian lan­ guage with fluency. Her acquaintance with the Indians made her a success­ ful intermediary later during the wars with the Dutch settlemsnt in Wilt- wyck. After the family returned to New York in I638 Anneke married Rev. Everardus Bogardus, the second minister in New Amsterdam by whom there were four more children. In 161+7 Everardus was shipwrecked. In 16$2 Gov. Peter Stuyvesant confirmed her claim to a tract of 130 acres at Hunt's Point. Later she moved back to Beverwyck and died in Albany in 1663. Her will is dated Jan. 29, 1663 and is on file at the office of the Secretary of State in Albany.

When Adolia Rosecrans married Joel Swartz on July 18, 185U the German, Swiss, and Scotch stocks merged with the Dutch line that has produced interesting chapters in the colonial period of America. The earliest known ancestor on this side of the At­ lantic of the Rosecrans family was Harmon Hendrick of Wiltwyck, now Kingston. In May 1661 grants of land were made by lot to twelve men. Harmon Hendrick was the second named, Jacob Barentson was the fifth, (cf. Ulster Under the Dutch by Augustus H. Van Buren, pub. Kingston, N. Y. 1923 p. U8) The chart of this branch of the family reveals several family names that are prominent in the early records. Magdalena Dirks, widow of Cornelius Caper, who married Harmon Hen­ drick does not feature in the story. Their son, Dircks, was born in Kingston and was baptized April 28, I67U. He married Wyntjie Kierstede, daughter of Roeloff Kierstede (bl6b7) and Eyke Albertse Roosa. Roeloff Kierstede was the son of Dr. Hans Kierstede who married Sarah Jansen. Sarah was the daughter of Roeloff Jansen, horticulturist of Killien Van Rensselaer, and Anneke Webber Jansen (qv).

ESOPUS The early history of this section is scanty. In 162U> van Wassenaer writes of Indians near Esopus, and Catelyn Trice, a French woman wrote in 1623 of the ship "Unity," spoke of Dutch traders who had been there the year before at "Sopus which is ^ way to Albaniei" The ship "Rensselaerswyck" in passage from Amsterdam from Sept* 2$, I636 reached Manhattan Mar. U, 1637 and sailed up the river as far as Fort Orange. In returning the record states "Escopes, where a creek runs in; and there the savages had much maize land." The first settlers came to Esopus in 1652-53 as pioneers from the Manor of Rensselaerwyck where Kilian van Rensse­ laer ruled as a feudal baron*

TROUBLE WITH THE INDIANS In 1658 there was trouble with the Indians and a drunken savage killed Harmon Jacobsen who was on the yacht of Willem Moer. The Indians grew more insolent and aggress­ ive. "They held firebrands under the roofs of the houses declaring that they would burn them if the whites did not plow their fields. They taunted them with weakness and contemptuously declared if they killed one of them they would pay for it in wampum. They called them dogs and threatened to burn their houses. The Dutch did not dare leave their dwellings. Their fields were idle. The news of all this had been sent to Stuyvesant." (ibid. p. 20 ff) Cultiva­ tion of the soil was under armed guard. On Oct. 28, 1658 the Indians sold half the land that Governor Stuyvesant wanted. The Indians asked that the soldiers lay down their arms and live as good friends ought. Resentment was directed against the soldiers and those that sold the brandy. Presents according to the Indian custom were expected as a sign of peace. The Indians were promised that this would be done in the spring or fall. Peace reigned. Indians were quiet, but danger lurked, because the Indians had re­ ceived no presents and were now making bows and arrows. The Mohawk "Amiros" warned of an Indian attack at Harvest time. (ib. p. 31)

WAR A party of Dutch went out and killed and wounded some of a party of intoxicated Indians. In retalia­ tion a large Indian band surprised and carried off as prisoners thirteen men on Sept. 21, 1659. These episodes resulted in great ROSECRANS fear in New Amsterdam, but on Oct. 6th 121+ volunteers set sail up the Hudson and arrived on the 10th. The Indians had disappear­ ed and refused to give battle. The force returned. On Nov. 1st the chiefs signed a truce, but there was much discontent. Stuy­ vesant urged that war be declared and 150 men be enlisted. Corn­ elia van Ruyven opposed war because the whites were to blame for the trouble. They had attacked, had broken their promises that they would live like brothers. But war was deemed inevitable and on Mar. 25, 1660 war was declared.

Promptly the chiefs of the Katskills at Fort Orange made proposals for a lasting peace. The Esopus Indians offered to sell all the Esopus lands, restore the loot and free the prisoners in exchange for Indian captives. The Mohicans and the Katskills on their own account asked Stuyvesant to make peace with the Esopus and made a large present of wampum in token of their gratitude for peace. Ensign Smith who led the Kingston band of soldiers informed Stuyvesant "The Indians call only for peace, peace, and await your honor's mercy." That spring there were many hostile acts by the Dutch and no doubt by the Indians also in violation of the peace. There is the incident of the old chief Preumaecker who defied the Dutch with fury and many harsh words. Ensign Smith described the tragic episode. He was leader of force sent out to destroy the Indian village. All the Indians had taken to the woods except the old chief. "As he was a very old man and spoke arrogant words to our men* saying 'what are you doing here, you dogs' and aimed his gin at us, we took away his gun and six knives and hatchet, and as it was a great distance we could not take him along and therefore gave him a whack with his own hatchet." This was a dastardly deed without -justification from our point of view. The Indian chief was single handed defying a Dutch force of seventy-five men. THE HATCHET On July 15, 1660 a treaty of peace was made with many chiefs present, the Maquas, Mohicans, Katskills, Minquas, Wappings. The Esopus chiefs were Kaelcop, Seewackemano, Neskahawan, and Paniyruways. The treaty was agreed upon by the burying of the hatchet. "Now we have let the hatchet be taken from us andtrampled into the ground, we shall not take it up again in eternity." These negotiations were entered into "under the blue sky." But the time of peace was short. Stuyvesant early that month had sent the Indian prisoners to Curacao instead of return­ ing them to their families as the treaty specified. Three years passed without sign of the presents that Stuyvesant had promised the Indians in exchange for their land at Wiltwyck. The Indians who had been banished to the island of Curacao had not been re­ turned. The red men could neither forget nor forgive. "The fires of hate and revenge smouldered. Soon they would burst into flame." (ibid. 63) On March 30, 1663 Stuyvesant issued an ordinance that all persons claiming land at Wiltwyck, or in the new village, must apply for and receive deeds for the same within two months. They must cultivate and fence the land or forfeit it. Six months time was given those in the new village or pay a fine of 25 guild­ ers. -105- ROSECRANS ALBERT HEYMTNS In the list of New Lots our ancestor, ROOSA Harmen Hendricksen, was in possession of Lot No. 3. His son Dirck married the grand daughter of Albert Heymans Roosa whose land was listed as No. 2k in the name of Alert Heymansen. Albert Heymans Roosa or Roose was appointed as one of three overseers to inspect the fencing and cultivation or to collect the fines from the settlers. These lots were probably granted in 1661, Harmen Hendricks and Magadalena Dircks had been married in New Amsterdam on Mar. 3, 1657, as in records of the Church of St. Nicholas, but .there is no trace in our possession of the date of removal to Wiltwyck. Unlike our other early settlers among these colonists he did not feature to any extent in the affairs of the colony. On the other hand Albert Heymans Roose or Roosa is mentioned frequently. His name is spelted in different ways. By order of Stuyvesant and his Council a court was established for Wiltwyck on May 5, 1661. One of three appointed as schepens of judges was Elbert Heymans Rose. When the parsonage for Dominie Hermanus Blom was erected, Nov. 12, 1661, assesment^ against Albert Heymans on the bouwery of Jacob Jansen Stoll's widow, 30 morgens was 90.00-guilders. The house lot of Harmen Hendrick who had no farm land was assessed 12.00 guilders. This tax being insufficient to pay for the parsonage was followed by an excise tax. No person should remove or transfer any liquor until a return of the same was made and tax paid on forfeiture of the liquors, and five times its value to be applied, one-third to the officer, one- third to the informer, and one-third to the church. In the record of taxes of this nature paid we find the name Aelbert Heimans who paid 55 guilders, only six men paid more including Dominie Blom who paid 58 guilders.

THE NEW VILI/GE On the morning of June 7th, 1663, near noon BURNED several bands of Indians sauntered through the gates of the stockade almost unnoticed. There had been nearly four years of peace since the last trouble. The hatchet had been buried in the earth. "No one thought of danger. Through the streets strolled the Indians, offering corn and beans for sale. They chattered with the women and laughed at the children at play. Suddenly a horseman dashed through the mill gate, shouting as he rode, 'The Indians have destroyed the new village." It was in this new village that Harmen Hendricks had Lot Number 3 (ibid p. 59). Instantly the dread war whoop of the red men set off the wild and piercing screams of women and child­ ren. Indian hatchets were swinging. Jan llbert's little girl s head was cleft by an Indian. The guns cracked and fires began to blaze in flames. The Indians had fired houses to windward and nothing could check the holocaust. The people were shouting, yelling, screaming in terror and above the sound and fury the blood curdling yells of the Indians rent the air as they tore thru the streets, slaughtering and capturing women and children. The few men rallied and organized their attack on the Indians, but thevwere too late. The natives were already outside of the stock­ ade driving their prisoners before them. On into the woods they

wentf after ?hey disappeared from sight their pitiful&wails could be heard by the men too confused, too few to counter attack. r?ortunate change of the wind from the south to west permitted the remaining villagers to save a number of the houses. ROSECRANS -106 THE MASSACRE When the farmers returned from their fields unaware of v/hat had happened a scene of utter desolation spread before them. Homes were in ruins. Dead men and women still lay in the streets where they had fallen. Some women and children, half burned before death claimed, were still lying in the ruins of their homes. The record of the massacre written many years ago is entitled "List of the Soldiers and Settlers, killed, wounded or taken prisoners by the Indians at Wiltwyck, on the 7th of June, I663." Nine men were killed, one a negro, three soldiers, four women, one about to become a mother and two children, one of whom was burned alive in its house, five women and four children were taken prisoners. In the new village where the Rosecrans and Roosa families lived the first recorded killed was a Marten Harmen- sen, "found dead and stript naked behind the wagon." As our family records are not complete we can not claim him as our relative. We do not know Harmen Hendricks1 age at his marriage in New Amsterdam to Magdalena Dircks, a widow. By a former marriage he might have had a grown son. Two other men were killedy Of those taken prison­ ers two families might have had a connection because the men were sons of Harmen. Marten Harmensen who lost his life left a wife and four children to be taken prisoner, Barent HarmensenTs wife and child were also hauled off into the woods. Nine women and twenty- six children from the new village were captured. All the houses in this village were destroyed. Twelve houses in Wiltwyck were burned to the ground. Eight Wiltwyck men were wounded* one of whom died,

REENFORCEMENTS Johan de Decker was a member of the New Amsterdam Council and was sent to Fort Orange by Stuyvesant to obtain assistance. He was to induce the Mohawks to procure the return of the prisoners without ransom and without any treaty of peace. If unsuccessful, attempts should be made to capt­ ure some of the Esopus Indians and then effect an exchange. He was also to call for volunteers for an attack upon the Indians and was to promise recruits 8 to 10 guilders a month* He was also empower­ ed to negotiate a loan of three or four thousand guilders. The settlers were panic stricken at the news from Wiltwyck and flocked to the fort for protection. All efforts failed because of the con­ fusion* On June 25th Stuyvesant offered "free plundering and all the barbarians captured" with exemption from all local taxes, the care of the surgeon, and various bonuses for the loss of limbs, such as for the right arm 800 florins, the left arm 500 florins, one leg U50 florins, both legs were a bargain at 800 florins and eyes at 900 florins and both hands 1000 florins. Few volunteered, but on June 30th Marten Kregier was commissioned the commander of a force of less than 100 men capable of bearing arms. When he arrived on July Uth the situation was in bad shape. People refused to cooperate with the commander. While examining Wappinger Indians at the house of Chambers, Albert Heymans Roosa (qv) appeared at the door and threatened to shoot the Indians. Kregier told them to control themselves. Roosa still maintained that they would shoot the Indians and came into the room challenging one of the magis­ trates to come out side so that they could settle the issue. Kregier naively adds, "What his intention with him was I can't say." VanBeuren says "Albert was a fighter. He thought he could lick the entire court." Kregier launched an expeditionary force to capture the Indians' fort, which they found abandoned. Still another Indian encampment was found without a trace of the people. The -107- ROSECRANS Dutch destroyed over 215 acres of corn land, 100 pits full of corn and beans and burned the fort and all the wigwams. Indians were still lurking around Wiltwyck.

RELEASE OF CAPTIVES Now and then some of the captives were re­ covered, Lieut, van Couwenhoven secured the release of one woman and three children by sailing down to a place just north of Newburgh. Two of the Wappingers reported that the Esopus were building a new fort about four hours beyond the one destroyed and Kregier decided to attack it. Completely surprising the Indians and in the attack their chief Papequanaehen, fourteen other warriors and four women and three children were killed. The Dutch lost three killed and six wounded, but recover­ ed twenty-three white prisoners, took thirteen Indians and returned to Wiltwyck on September 7th about noon. Later the Dutch returned and ruined this new Indian fort which was about twelve miles from Wiltwyck, South Southwest. This fort was in the town of Shawangunk about four miles west of Walkill just above Shawangunk Creek.

A certain Wappinger chief helped in the re­ storation of the captive Women* On November 29th he was back again bringing 3ix captives. For these he was given a captive squaw and two children, thirty strings of wampum, one piece of cloth, two cans of-.brandy, fifteen strings of wampum, three yards of duffel, and ten pounds of powder. He said that he had given wampum to another Indian to look up the child of Albert Heymans Roosa and would bring all other prisoners within three days* He returned on December 2nd, having two children with him. He could not return the remaining captives, five in number, because they were at the hunting grounds of the Esopus and he could not find them. The squaw who had kept them would not let them go because she was sick, and had no child­ ren and expected to die. Then he would get them and Roosa's daughter.

JAN GERRITSEN DECKER On March 6th, 166U the child of Jan Lootman was returned, on the 25th another child. On April 26th Stuyvesant wrote that all but three captives had been returned. His proclamation of May 31st designating June Uth as a day of thanksgiving for the return of the captives, states that all of them had been returned. It is probable that Albert Heymans' daughter was among these last to be recovered. Some of these prisoners were in the hands of these Indians for nearly a year. They were held by "savages" eager for revenge on the w/i ite men who had ruined their homes, "All but one of them were women and child­ ren," The man taken prisoner was Jan Gerritsen Decker. He was probably related to Johan de Decker of New Amsterdam. Shortly after his release, he married Grietjen Hendricks Westercamp (qv). "Not one of them (the captives) was sent into slavery. Hot one was killed. Not one was injured. The honor of no woman was assailed. All were returned. A most remarkable fact to reflect upon when forming our estimate of the nature of the red man." (ibid p. 79)

THE PEACE COUNCIL "On May 15, 166U, a notable gathering assembled in the council room of New Amster­ dam. His 'Noble Worship' the Director-General Petrus Stuyvesant presided. About him were the burgomasters of the city, the Hon. Paulus Leenderstsen van der Grist, Hon. Nicasius de Sille, the Hon. C. V. Ruyven, the Hon. Cornelis Steenwyck, Captain Marten -108- ROSECRANS Kregier, Lieut, van Couwenhoven, Govert Looockermans of Staten Island, Thomas Chambers of Wiltwyck, Jacob Backer, President of the Schepens, and Abraham Wilmerdonk. Sara Kierstede (qv) acted as interpreter. "There, gazing proudly at the white men, stood the chiefs of many of the tribes of the red men. Seweskenamo, Onagotin and Powsawwagh of the Esopus, t'Sees-sagh-guaw of the Wappingers. Meeght Sewakes of the Kightewangh, Oratamy of the Kackingkesacky and Tappaen, Matteno of the Staten Island and Nayack, Siejpekenouw, brother of Tapusagh of the Marsepingh with twenty warriors of his tribe,

"Old Sewerkenamo, holding a stick in his hand, his arms folded, said: 'I have asked my God Dachtamo that I may do some good here. Let a treaty be made here as solid as this stick. The chiefs here are well pleased that peace be made between my people and the Dutch. It shall include the Marsepingh. I come to ask for peace for my people. A peace as firm and as binding as my folded arms. The other chiefs of the Esopus can not be here. One is a very old man and blind. The others are friends of mine. I speak for them.' After much talk the terms of the peace were agreed upon. The treaty provided that all that had happened should be forgiven and forgotten. It made the Dutch possessors of the land that had been traversed in destroying the old and new forts. Trade could be resumed. Loss of life was to be punished by trial and execution. This treaty cleared the air and removed the Indians as a menace to the growing settlement. In July 1661; Sev/eckenamo appear­ ed again in Manhattan to appeal for his people who were sick and very lean for want of food. After the exchange of gifts he sadly and proudly strode from the council chamber.

SURRENDER TO THE Tomas Harmensen was the successful bidder for ENGLISH the excise tax on July 22, 166U* On August 16, 1661+, the court ordered that no "innkeeper or vendor of wine or beer" should sell without first obtaining a license from the court which must be renewed every three months. This was the last judicial and legislative act of the court under Dutch domination. New Nether- land surrendered to the English on September 6, 166U.

King Charles II by royal patent to James, Duke of York, afterward James II granted all of New Netherland to be held by him in free and common socage under the yearly rent of forty beaver skins when demanded. Several men of war with U5>0 soldiers were dispatched to New Netherland, arriving in August. Resistance was uselessFew soldiers, almost no ammunition and under the guns of the fleet the people consented to surrender. The Dutch troops headed by Stuyvesant with "arms fixed,-colors flying, drum beating and matches lighted" marched out of Fort /msterdam and embarked for Holland. The flag of England flung to the breeze* (ibid p. 90) On September 17 the commission named the New Village which had been rebuilt after its destruction by the Indians "Hurley," after the ancestral seat of Governor Lovelace's family in Berkshire, England. On September 2£th the commission changed the name of Wiltwyck to "Kingston" also in honor of the Governor, the family seat of whose mother was at Kingston Lisle, Berkshire.

RECAPTURE BY DUTCH When war between England and Holland broke -109- out and the Dutch recaptured New York on /ug. 9th, 1673 Kingston acted to surrender allegiance to Great Britain and to submit to the Lords States General of tho United Netherlands and his serene highness the prince of Orange, to be true and faithful to them.' Among those nominated to the council to administer local affairs on Oct. 6, 1673 for the town of Hurley was Captain /lbert Heymans. For magistrate of Swaenenburg (Kingston) was Roeloff Kierstede (qv) "The courts found little to do. The stockade was ordered repaired. Roeloff Kierstede was appointed a fire warden and directed to in­ spect all chimneys every two weeks and see that they wore kept clean. Every person must clean the street in front of his house of refuse and dirt."(ibid p. 9U) On February 19, 167U a treaty of peace was signed at Westminster by which New York was restored to the English. The old magistrates were relived of their oath of allegiance to the State's General and the Prince of Orange and allegiance was sworn to King James IT. The new court convened January 12, 1675. Tho rule of the Dutch had ended.

THE CHURCH IN WTLTWYCK An incident in the ministry of Rev. Hermanus Blom in Wiltwyck in December 1663 bears on our family history and shows how laymen should support their church. Van Beuren tells the story. "Blom's path at Wiltwyck was not strewn with flowers. In those old days, as in the present, the dominie's salary was always in arrears. Then, as now, the people desired spiritual food but were back­ ward in furnishing material provender to him who served it. Oeacon Roosa asked the court that the dominie be paid his salary because the consistory had made default * The magistrates held that as the contract of March it, 1661 was only for a year the congregation should agree with Blom for the remaining years. The dominie was compelled to resort to the court and in this year obtained -judgments against a number of his parishoners for their share of his salary, among whom was this same Deacon Roosa. In February I66I4. the dominie addressed a letter to the court, again askino- for his pay, concluding as follows: "I leave it to the judgment of the Honorable Court here itself whether it is not a sad and grievous thing that a minister of the word of God is, as here, compelled, with such trouble and pains, to seek for, and request of and through the court, his long since earned salary, the which has never been seen or heard of in Christendom." In 1668 the good dominie appealed to the Rev. Classis in Holland "that a report may be made of his edifying ministry there at Wiltwyck to the Hon. Directors of the ""est India Company, in the hope that something may be granted him on the arrears of his salary."

The Rev. John iller, who visited in Kingston in 1695, made a map of the village as it then existed.

GRG¥TH OF WILTWYCK The growth of Wiltwyck and the New Vill­ age can be stated approximately. At the time of building of the stockade in 1658 there were "thirty fighting men" and a total of sixty or seventy people. In Feb. 1660 Stuyvesant stated to the council that the Esopus contained two or three villages, "each with twenty or twenty-four families." After the massacre of June 7, I663 there were "sixty-nine effic­ ient men." Lots of filtwyck were granted to forty-five different persons. Up to the time of surrender to the English land patents -110- ROSECRANS had been issued to sixteen persons other than those to whom lots had been granted. The last one recorded vras to / lbert Heymans Roosa on /ug. 19, 166U, a plantation, Esopus.

The story of Greitjen Hendricks 'tfester- camp whose fatherless son Pieter was attributed by Dominie Blom to he the offspring of Pieter Jacobsen, "Miller here" is given in full in "Ulster Under the Dutch"pages Hl-llU. "And Orietje, as the record shows, married the very best fellow in all the world and they lived happily together forever and a day." The record is Jan Gerretsen, j.m. (young man) of Heerden and Grietjen Hen­ dricks ^Gstercamp, of Amsterdam in Nieuncderlant. First publica- tion of banns, !TM?rch, second 16 March; third, 23 March, 166U. This was undoubtedly the Jan Gerretsen whom the Esopus Indians had captured on June 7, 1663 on Volckert's bouwery.

When interested some years ago in the "Descendants of the American Revolution" I received the following information from Mrs. Cordelia Ayer Paine, the National Historian of the organiza­ tion who wrote "In checking your genealogical data, I find that there were some 31 citations for Revolutionary service in the Rosencrans family in the New York State Comptrollers Office. You might like to add this to your data." -111- THF- S RTZ FAMILY

THE ROSECR'NS LINEAGE

The Rosenkrantz Family originated on the Herrin^ holm estate, Jutland, Denmark now in the province of Schleswig Holstein, and in the beginning of the 12th century.

I. Erik, 1227, a nobleman, a knight of the Crusaders. He was a newcomer from Norway, probably, because Erik is not a Holstein name. II. Iver Eriksen III. Niels Iverson, 1308. His brother J'tauritz Iverson was re­ corded in 1270.

IV. Erik Nielson, Knight. He had two brothers Jenseller Jo­ hannes 'VTielson and Iver Nielson. Erik was particularly distinguish­ ed and in 1325 visited the P<~>pe from whom he received a rosary, or rose wreath, which lie had added to his coat of arms and took the name of Rosenkrantz. In the Danish records Erik was the first to use a seal or coat of arms in 1355$ "upon the Helm a wreath of Red and Silver Roses*" cf* letter 20, p. 31. The entire family adopt­ ed the surname Rosenkrantz in response to the proclamation of the King of Denmark* In 1520 a Rosenkrantz was Burgomaster, first in Amsterdam. Jacob Dircksen in 1553 came to /msterdam, either a brother or son of tho above burgomaster. He lived in the Rose-wreath dwelling on Warmoes Street. His wife was /drianna. He was con­ spicuous and was later banished for his religion and his property was confiscated.

Captain Dirk, of the Civil Guard, went with his father to Bergen, Norway. He was Captain of the Guard when William, the Silent (qv) was assassinated in 1581+. Herman Rosenkrantz secured the right of whale fishing on the coast of Norway and Greenland in 1626. He was a merchant.

Henrik, the Burgesell of Norway, 1657. 9 - Herman Hendrickszen, our first American ancestor. The record of his marriage is dated 1657, March 3, to Magdalena Dircks, widow of Cornelius Caper. They were in King­ ston in 1660. He had migrated from Bergen, Norway to New /msterdam. They had nine children. In I663 Kingston was raided by the Indians. Some time afterwards they left for I ombaccus Township, now Rochester, Ulster Co. where they settled prior to 1683. He died in 1697. He built an old mill on the Peterskill, near / lligerville. The marriage is recorded in the archives of the "Church of St. Nicholas." -112- THE 9;r'RTZ FAMILY - ROSECRANS LINEAGE 8 - Dircks Rosecrans, b. Kingston, N. Y. and baptized April 28, 167U.

About I767 he purchased from William Stark Meadow Lots 28, 29, 30 on Jacobs Plain in Wilkes-Barre district of the town of Westmoreland. Lot 28 adjoined the Pitts- ton-Wilkes-Barre Line. They aro described as adjoining lands of Jesse Bissell* the Susquehanna River and bounded north by the town line and east by the road. His house standing nearly opposite Forty Fort became a place of refuge for the people of the neighbor­ hood at the time of the Tory-Indian invasion of the Wyoming Valley early in 1778, but was abandoned, the people going to Forty Fort* These lands subsequently became the property of Paul Stark* Daniel served in the New York Militia and won tho title of Captain* He was a captain in Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania in 1775. From the history of the Newton Baptist Church of Luzerne. Co., Pennsylvania and Blair's "The Michael Shoemaker Book" in the Wyoming Historical Society, Wilkes-Barre, the following record has been compiled of his part in the fighting. "He was surprized and captured by the Indians and taken up the Susquehanna to the Indian settlement on the east side of Seneca Lake in New York. Ho saw them perpetrate most horrible cruelties on the captives. While most of the Indians were hunting, he feigned sickness and^ made his escape. All this time ho had supposed his wife and child­ ren victims of the massacre. He travelled day and night in search of them. "His wife with five boys and a girl had escaped almost naked and barefooted. They travelled through swamps and over rocks with­ out food except berries. They thought that Capt. Daniel had been killed. They crossed the Delaware in extreme poverty and wretched­ ness and found friends in New Jersey. Finally the family was re­ united. -113 THE ROSECRANS LINEAGE "After the battle of Wyoming, July 3, 1778, he^mM'WW Goshen Precinct, now Orange County, New York- His will was made there April 19, 1782 and probated October 5, 1782.

This family name is first mentioned in 1377 at Banstead in Surrey, E gland. In H+23 John Merriman was one of the Archers in the service of King Henry VI. A Merriman lived in Oxford and had two sons who lived in Newberry, Berks Co. 11 - George Merriman lived in London, In his will of 1655 he made a bequest to "my son, Nathaniel, now resident in New England," He was a cooper by trade. 10 - Nathaniel Merriman, b. 1633, came to New England on the "Whale" which sailed from Hampton on Apr. 8, 1632 and arrived Ifey 26, 1632 after a "good passage" of one day less than seven weeks. He came "upon the adventure of Peter Wooster being now made -up to ten pourics, He was a member of the ill-fated "Puritan Plough Co." By Mar. 1?, 161+1 he was in New Haven. Because he fought in the Pequot wars ~ grant was made to his son, John, in I698 in recognition of hir fr..y r«* 116 THE MERRIMAN LINEAGE #1038 10 - Nathaniel (cont.) services. He was "probably one of 20 men sent out by Massachusetts early in 1637 to reenforce the garrison

; at Saybrook. • t *« r In I6uu he took the oath of fidelity at General Court in New Haven, July 1st. The famous "fundamental agreement" had sixty-three original 'signers who contracted "to consult about settling civil government according to God." After them, the original signers, appear two columns of 1+8 others. Nathaniel is l+2nd in this list of 1+8 signers. He had no social position as was manifest in "the seating of the meeting house," His rise was rapid. At first seating his name does not appear. In the second and third lists he has a first place at the side. Then he was advanced to a seat with six others in the "middle Alley," His wife, known as Goodwife Merriman is assigned seat #6 "in the side seats all along," on Feb. 11, 1655. On Feb. 20, 1661 "Sister Merriman" has seat $8 in"the long seats for women." In 16^3 he sold his home on E. Water St. and all his lands "on ye east side against Dragon point*" He went to farm in the section of Fair Haven or East Haven. Later the people there desired their own church, but the city people objected. The question was not decided for a hundred years. In 1659 with 38 men with Nathaniel's fourth on the list he signed an agreement to found the village of Wallingford. He lived at the N.W. corner of Main and Ward Sts. At this '• time he was 57 years old with his wife and five children. He was head of the Wallingford trained band of defenders. In 1692 at tie age of 78 he resigned* In lo75 on Feb 3rd which was set aside as a day of fasting and prayer regarding the organization of a church he signed with thirteen others to organize a church* John Beach(qv p. 111+ #1+38) was also one of the signers. For ten years they met at the home of Lt, Merriman and Ensign Miinson for religi­ ous worship. The church first planned on Oct. 2, I676 was tp be 3h' x 30«, but on Nov. 27, I678 due to the impoverish* ment of King Philip's war the plan was revised to 28* x 21+'. The building was not immediate. In 1681 it was voted to go on and finish the house. By I69O there were 73 families and was enlarged by adding 16« to the breadth. In I698 an addition of 50' x 20' was added to the east side, Davis reports Lt, Msrriman as owning Lot #2U in Walling­ ford, His wife Joan was thought to be his second wife and not the mother of his children. He died Feb. 13, I69U at 80 years of age. Joan survived him by fifteen years. One of his characteristics was his tendency to cast dissenting votes, A motion that every man in town was to work for Rev, Mr, Street "to suit his need and having two days notice, etc." had five dissenters, of which Nathaniel's name was the first. THE HARRIMAN LINEAGE #839 117 - 11 - John Harriman, a Puritan from Yorkshire migrated from Rowley and settled in New Haven, Conn, having arrived in the colonies about 1638. He died^Nov. 21, 1681. In 161+1+ he took "the oath of fidelity." April' 161+6 he received the "charge of freeman." In his will he calls himself "stricken in years" and names only one son, John. He was accompanied overseas by his brother, Leonard, then in his 16th year; He had three sons John, b. Mar. 1650, Matthew, b. June 16, 1652 and Jonathan, b.

John Harriman, bpt Jan. 21+, 161+6 studied in the grammar school under Rev, John Davenport and graduated from Harvard College in I667. Later he taught in the famous Hopkins Grammar School

In "Early History of Wallingford" by Davis there is a note of a grant of twelve acres in the original allotment of land to John Harrinan. This might have been John, Sr. Davis says, "This little band(in Wallingford) had from the first the stat­ ed preaching of the gospel. For two years, one Mr. Harriman preached on the Sabbath. He was not a regularly ordained pas­ tor, but was probably an "elder" or church officer of that day. It is possible that young John, a student of John Davenport, was preparing himself for the Christian, ministry during his years as a teacher in the Grammar School and he may have made week end trips to Wallingford as have so many young students for the ministry down thru the years gone forth from their schools and seminaries for field work of this nature. During I67I+ he preached occasionally in New Haven and later was called to become the third minister at Southampton where he served from I67I+ - I676. This church Trad been established as the first English Church in the colony of New Netherlands in 161+0 and the first minister was an ancestor of the Reed Family, Rev. Abraham Pierson. It was my privilege to visit this South- amoton Church, now Presbyterian, to deliver two addresses in 1939 to inaugurate the Anniversary of the Tercentennary Year and in 191+0 to culminate it. It was John Harriman who brought the first 4lass to be installed in the church edifice. In 1673 John Harriman married Hannah Bryan, daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Bryan of Milford, Conn. Her twin sister Mary married Edward Howell of Southampton. They were born in 1651+. In I676 John was the stated supply of the church in New Haven. In 1682 he was the supply and then the pastor of the church in East Haven. In October 1681+ he was employed in sur­ veying the boundary line between New York and Connecticut, for "it seems hehad no small skill in this business." He was installed as pastor of the church in Elizabeth- town, N.J., probably Sept, 30. I687. Cf. Howell's "History of Southampton," p. 102,103. "He was very exact in his ac­ counts and careful in his business enterprizes which were num­ erous. Not content with preaching, pastoral visitation, srr:i- ing and carrying on a flour mill he had also a cider, '.tl an agency for furnishing glass to his neighbors, KQ s-j- ;& -THE HARRIMAN LINEAGE #839 Rev. John Harriman(cont.) lands no?/ and then. He also attended the Legislature as a Deputy, having'been elected in 1693, I69U, 1695 and I698. Like most of his profession he kept a board­ ing school also." cf. "Caldwell and the Revolution" a historical sketch of The tfirst-Presbyterian Church of Elizabeth, a discourse deliv­ ered on S nday, January 25, 1880 by the Rev. Everard Kempshall D.D. on the occasion of the 100th Anniversary of the burning of the Church edifice by the Tories. "Mr. Harriman kept ac­ counts with everyone of the subscribers to his support. The second volume for the years I69U - 1705 is now in possession of the Session of the church. There were 121+ subscribers which amounted to it 83 lis. Od. Only a part was paid in cash and the most was credited in produce, meat, grain and vegeta­ bles, many with labor by day on the farm, or in building or repairing the house or barn," This entry will be interesting in showing how he accepted the prevailing customs of his day, "We bought the Negro, Toney, August ll+, 1697 of Charles Tooker, Jr, for Si+8. and on Oct. 20th, 1701 bought of Mr. James Evart an Indian girl named Hagar for feL9 10s." Dr, Kempshall summarizes this period of Mr, Harriman's ministry. "During the conflict between 1688 and 1702 between the inhabitants of the town and the so-called Proprietors, which was at one time so bitter as to be properly called "re­ volutionary" and was terminated by the arrival of a royal com­ mission in 1703, bringing perpetual end of the Proprietary Government of East Jersey. Mr, Harriman stood bravely forth as the representative of popular rights, and in his discourses from the pulpit, as well as in his daily intercourse with the people, set the example of resistance to oppression, and main­ tenance of the just rights of the people, which was followed so zealously by Caldwell in 1776.(Another minister of this Church) According to "The City of Elizabeth" published by the Eliz­ abeth Daily Journal in I889(p.83) the first church building was used as a court house and for other pufclic purposes. In 1721+ the new church meeting place was host to the General As­ sembly, the Supreme Court and the Legislature. The Parish covered all of Union County till 1776. There were in this period 3l+5 pew renters and 1200 in the congregation. John Harriman had laid a firm foundation for this growth and influ­ ence , For the first half century the Church was an indepen­ dent church. It became Presbyterian not earlier than 1717* A letter of Edwin H, Hatfield, Oct, 18, I867 regarding this first church of Elizabeth notes "no doubt that the Church was originally Congregational." Eight acres of land were set a- —sidy fur" the church. — — After faithfully serving the church and the state he died on Aug. 19, 1705. On Nov. 3, 193U with other members of the family we stopped to locate the grave of this famous an­ cestor. A newparish house erected on the property caused some difficulty in finding the location. A huge tree was on the sane line of the graves. John Harriman's is the fifth from Captain Harriman's. The inscription is nearly invisible so greatly worn is'the white granite stone, "The memory of -one just is blessed." It is grave #661. THE HARRIMAN LINEAGE #839 - 119 -

cf. Descendants of Robert Lockwood by Hblderi:-and Lockwood in the New Yprk Public Library. The index gives the following of suitable ages. David #182,

David #23ii, David #27U , and David #288, bapt, June 17; 1761 - d.l82£ The last rained seems the logical choice of all of the above for the following conclusion. He was the son of Nathaniel and Mary Patchin Lockwood-, David had a brother Captain Nathan Lockwood, b, July 17, 1751+ who married Rhoda Miller, born in Bedford, N.Y. His second wife was Mary . As we can find no other among the Lockwood connections who was named Rhoda, the presumption reasonably main­ tained is that David named his daughter after his sister-in-law be­ fore or after her early death. Rhoda Lockwood was born about 1785- 1790. 10 - Robert Lockwood came from England and settled in Watertown, Mass. He was made a freeman on Mar. 9, I636/7 Edmund Lockwood was probably a brother. In 161+6 he moved to Fairfield, Conn, and died 1658. Edmund was made a freeman of Connecticut May 20, 1652o Robert was recorded as a settler at Fairfield as early as 161+1. Heumarried Susannah St 4 John (2m. to Jef­ frey Ferris.qv). "Susan Lockwood, wife of Robert Lockwood May 13, 1651+, stated she was present when goodwife Knapp was hanged for a witch." (cf, New Haven Colonial Records) Susan­ nah died at "Grinwich" Dec. 23, 1660 9 - Jonathan, b. Sept. 10, I63I+ in Watertown, Mass. died in Greenwich,

Conn. May 12, 1688. On Jan. 1, 1657 he signed allegiance to the Dutch governor in Easttowne in New Netherlands, "so long as we live in his jurisdiction." On Oct. 16, 1660 he was of Stamford aid in 1665 he moved to Greenwich. He became a freeman in 1670. He was "assistant in May I67I and in 1672 one of twenty-seven proprietors." He represented the town in the Legislature for four years. He married Mary Ferris (Marah), daughter of Jeffrey Ferris, second husband of his mother. Jeffrey Ferris of Watertown, Mass. became a freeman on May 6, 1635. He moved to Wethersfield, but left in the first colony and in 1656 he was one of eleven men who petitioned to be accepted under New Haven jurisdiction. Jeffrey Ferris died in 1666. The Ferris family came from Leicestershire. The house of Feriers came from Henry, son of Gualchalme de Feriers, to whom William the Conqueror gave large grants in the shires of Stafford, Derby and Leicester. Mary Lockwood, widow of Jonathan, married Sergeant Thomas Merritt of Rye, June 5, 3696.

They lived in Cald­ well, N.J, and had a daughter Rhoda, our ancestress, who married on Sept. 7, 1808 Israel Beach.

Jacob Rosecrans, baptized 1777, married Sarah mold, daughter of Stephen mold of Sussex County, N. J. On a bitter cold day, December k, 1935, while on route to the peace conference at Buck Hill Falls, I stopped off in Newton, N. J. to ascertain, if possible, the lineage of this Stephen / rn- old. The county records produced certain interesting documents. On September 12, 1817, there is a record.,of a, deed for a* property transfer by Jacob Rosecrans and his wife Sarah, selling to Stephen -mold, Jr., for the sum of '"90.1+2 a lot compris.;ing of-28 acres and 60/100 which is described in detail. A witness, Jesse I tchley ."examined" Sarah separately and found that she had decided to sell freely and without coercionfro%er said husband* This deed was received and recorded May 28, 1818. A further entry identifies Stephen / mold, Jr. as of the Township of Knowlton, who bought some f 15 and 76/100 acres from Jacob and Sarah Rosecrans for 56.63. These transactions indicate that about this time or before these transactions, Jacob and Sarah Rosecrans had decided to mi-rate. They made their way to "jelaware County, Ohio. Our problem has been to identify Stephen Arnold Jr. There are several records in Sussex County involving Stephen / mold. July 20, 1809, a Stephen . mold married Mary Robbins. The offici­ ating officer was Jacob Bockoben, Esquire Justice. On January 2k, 1810 a Stephen •* mold married Ruth Colver. The officiating officer was the Hon. Joseph Campbell. A deed dates 1817 found in Volume I, Section 2-17' records a transaction between Stephen / mold and Bena- jah Gustin. Another entry refers to Stephen / mold, Jr., trans­ ferring property to /dam Hiler, Volume I, 2-18. This definitely indicates two men, presumably father and son, were living at that time.

• .*; Data from the Compendium of Amarican Genealogy, other data from "Our Family Ties" by Leonard "f. / mold, traces the -enealogy from Alfred the Great to Drusilla mold. In the Library of Cong­ ress a book by Eleanor E. Hall titled "The Hall Family" published in 1901+ and in the Library of Congress #CS.71 H912 traces the family descent from Yenir, King of Gwentland and Nesta, his wife, daughter of Jestin (a.p.) Gurgan, i>ing of Glamorgan. These records show that Captain Stephen / mold, born 1739, married in 1760, Martha Gardner Hovens, a widow, daughter of Nicholas Gardner. The date of his death is not recorded. She died in 1819. .' daughter, Honor, born 1760, died in 181+8, married Samuel Carpenter in I783, but this record is incomplete, having no date of Captain Stephen's death. In Sussex County, records,Volume I of the proceedings on page 1+5 on the date September 15th, 1829, letters of administration were issued to /lphious Gustcn to execute matters pertaining to the es­ tate of Stephen / mold* 1 s another Mr. Gusten had transacted busi­ ness with Stephen mold in 1817, this would imply the death of the older Stephen in the / mold family. In this case, Captain Stephen lived to the grand old age of 90. Our family records fail to provide data regarding the birth and death of Sarah Arnold Rosecran's father, Stephen. One family record gives Sarah's mother's name as Phoebe, but we are at a loss to know how long she lived. It is quite possible that the two Stephen Arnolds who married in 1809 and 1810 may have been marrying each of them for tho second time. « THE ARNOLD FAMILY - 123 The Arnold lineage then must be accepted with some reser­ vation in the hope that the above theory may bo substantiated by further research, or by confirming evidence from other mem­ bers of the large clan. William Arnold, the first immigrant from England and his wife, Christian, daughter of Thomas Peak of London, arrived June 2k, 1635 out of Dartmouth on May 1st. They had a stormy passage and settled first at Hingham, Massachusetts. They came to Rhode Island with Ro-er Williams and settled first in Providence. Later they lived in Pawtuxet. He was accompanied by a brother, Stephen, who married Sarah Smith, daughter of Edward Smith of Rehoboth, Massachusetts. William mold was one of the thirteen original owners of Rhode Island and was Commissioner in 1661. Stephen • mold was Deputy novernor of Rhode Island in 166U and was tho Governor's assistant in I667. William ; mold's son, Benedict, born 1615, died I678, was made Governor of Ihode Island. He married Damarius Wescott in I6I4.O and became the wealthiest man in the state. #531 THE ARNOLD FAMILY c.f.

THE KIERSTEDE - ROOSA LINEAGE #825 On Sept. 6, 1702 Wyntjie Kierstede, the young widow of Jan De- Witt, married Direks Rosecrans, bpt. 1671+'in Kingston, N.Y. cf. pll2

'•10 - Sarah Jansen, b. 1625 in the Netherlands, arrived in 1630, was ' baptized Oct. 2°, I63I+ in Recife, now Pernarabuco in Brazil. Recorded in the Doopreglster of Hollanders in Brazil. In 161+2 she married Dr.H-jis Kierstede who was so useful in the colony that he could not be spared to join Captain ISr- tin Crieger's expedition to rescue the Indian prisoners who were taken in the raid on Wiltwyck in I663. cf. "The Kier­ stede Family" by Major Randolph, published in The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record for July and October 193k. She was a cosmopolitan person and knew the Algonquins, 9 - Roeloff Kierstede, b. ca. 161+3/!+? in New A^terdam, came to Bis­ ter Gounty at the age of 26. Like his father he was also a physician. He married Eyke Albertse Roosa about 1670. She was the daughter of Albert Heymans Roosa, a Deacon of the Y/iltwyck Church, defender of Revi Hermanus Blom. When on Nov, 2y 1673 the Esopus again became a Dutch colony he took the oath of loyalty to the States General as one of the scheppens. W^en the English regained power the Esopus re­ gion did not obtain popular election of officials. Gov, Thomas Dongan redeived a petition for "Liberty by Charter to this County to choice our own officers to every towne court by the major vote of the freeholders." Signers in­ cluded Roeloff Kierstede, Symon Cool, Barentse Kool, Van Jacob Kool, Hymen AibertsenRoosa, Arie Albertsen Roosa, Cor­ nells Coole. The authorities disliked this independent purpose and ordered the arrest, indictment of the petition­ ers and upon finding them guilty fined them* 8 - Wyntjie Kierstede m. Jan DeWitt, 2m. on Sept. 6, 1702 Direks RoSe crans.

10 - Albert Heymansse Roosa, was a farmer from Gelderland, Holland. He married Yfeyntjen Ariens and sailed from Harwijnen on the ship "Bunta Kce" or the "Spotted Cow." He died Feb, 27, 1679. In the Commemorative Biographical Record of Uls­ ter County, published by J.H.Beers Co., Chicago, 111. I896 he and YFeynt jen are said to have eight children on the voy­ age, of whom Eyke was the sixth and the oldest daughter. There were at his death ten children with the younger ones also girls. "Ulster under the Dutch" by Van Buren (pl22) notes that Albert married Meylke de Jongh but there is no date given, Albert was so infuriated at the Indians by the capture of his daughter on June 7, I663 that he wanted to shoot the Wappinger Indians who were bargaining with Jfertin Kreiger on his arrival in Yfiltwyck on July 1+th. Yet with­ in the year in December of 1663 he was asking the court that the dominie be paid his salary as the consistory had made de fault. Among the judgments obtained by Rev. Hermanus Blom against a number of his parishoners for their shares of his salary was the same Deacon Roosa who apparently held back until the others were compelled to pay up. On Aug. 19, 1661+ there is a record of a land grant to him of a plantation at Esopus. Albert was a tenant of Jacob Jansen Stol with 36 morgens of land and paid 90 guil­ ders "as a free gift or a tax" towards the parsonage. THE ROOSA LINEAGE #925 THE COLE OR KOOL LINEAGE #62? On Sept. 25, 1669 Roosa "obtained permission to build a tan yard in Hurley which was the first one erected there...Roosa was made an overseer of Hurley." On May 15, 1671. the res­ idents were ordered to rebuild the stockade at Kingston. Our ancestors did a considerable section, Harmen Hendrix (Rosecransjerected 5 rods, Jan Gerritsen (Decker) 7 rods and Sweer Tennisy for A^rt Heymans 10 rods. Among the signers of the petition for self government after the British came to power were his two sons, Hymen Al- bertsen Roosa, Arie Albertsen Roosa. in the list of male inhabitants of ulster County in 1689 were the following mem­ bers of the family, Harrama Hendricks, sender Roesinkranc* Dirrick Hendricks, John Gerritse (Decker) Heymen Roos, John, Roos, Arrie Roos, and Thomas Harramansa. It would be diffi­ cult to prove the relationship. I would presume that the three naned Roos were all Sons of Albert Heymans Roosa, Besides being a Scheppen of V7iltwyck and a deacon in the Dutch Church he was known for his general ability. He was"a large man of great energy and magnetic power." p9hh "Commemorative Biographical Record of Ulster County." 9 - Eyke Albertse Roosa was probably born in the Netherlands and may have been old enough to remember the sea voyage. She was probably in her early teens in 1663 when taken captive by the Indians. For almost a year she was a captive and was freed probably in May of l661j. She was married about 16?0 to

Roeloff Kierstede, son of Dr. Hans and Sarah Jansen Kierstede. Bar parents had five older brothers and four more younger daughters. 8 - Wyntjie Kierstede 2m. Direks Rosecrans* 7 - Jacobus Rosecrans, bpt* Mar* 17, 1706 in Kingston m Sarah Decker, b» Ulster County Sept. 11, 1709 and married in 1728. She was the granddaughter of Jan Gerritsen Decker of Heerden, Gilder land, Holland who was taken captive also by the Indians in 1663 and who on his release married Grietjen Hendrick Westercamp in 1661+ in New Amsterdam. The record of this family is noteworthy and Jan proved himself able to face the conventions of civilization as well as the dangers of capti­ vity. Sarah Decker Rosecrans died in 171*6. The family lived in Huguenot, near Port Jervis, N.Y., on the Delaware River*

6 - Captain Daniel Rosecrans, (pll2) m. about 1765 Catherine Cole, widow of Martinus Koykendal, possibly a daughter of his stepmother. The Cole family spelle*d the surname as Cool, or Kool. She was baptized May 30, 1738 and her will was recorded in 1803. She was probably the granddaughter of Jacob Kool b« ca 1686, As she had a son, Jacob, a name found in her husband's lineage also, this connection may not be confirmed by later research, Jacob was the son of Sim­ on Kool bapt, Feb. 1, 3665 in Kingston who married Anna Hen­ dricks. Jacob's grandfather was Jacob Barentson Kool and his wife Marretje Simons who lived in Esopus. His father ras Barent Jacobsen Kool who arrived with Peter Minuit in 1625, and his mother was Marretje Leenderts, Barent was employou by the West India Company in New Amsterdam and served as "ex­ cise man. -251- THE REED FAMILY Your family history will be a rewarding study. In fact you need merely glance at the record to realize'that you are the heirs of a great tradition. No family should take particular pride in blood and genes. There is abundance of good blood in our civilization. In the multitudes of families with the English, Scotch, Franco-German and Scandinavian background there are similar strains of varied mixture. Some families will have achieved in recent years far- more acknowledged success, but we have a good heritage that should be an incentive to high minded living for greater service to our fellowmen. With the infusion of Dutch and Italian lines the family is gaining in artistic tempera­ ment and musical ability. Fortunate are we to have had so many forebears who have taken counsel of their faith and not of their fears, who have lived fully, struggled zealously for the right as God gave them to see the right, and who faced up to life's changes with resolution. EARLY NOTED ANCESTORS From the days of the founding of the British monarchy when Alfred the Great, an ancestor of the Swartz-Reed family of Poughkeepsie, laid the broad foundations of the far flung British empire, there have been treasured stories of thrilling exploits which the youth of tomorrow should not be allowed to forget. When the Moslems threatened Europe it was one of our ances­ tors, Charles Martel, who led the forces that swept them back, nevermore to threaten our western civilization. When the people of Canterbury were threatened by an increase of woe and taxes, it was the fair Godiva who on their behalf audaciously sought to coerce her husband, Leofric, to abandon his purpose. In the tenth century before the school systems developed the Lady of Mercia, Aethelfleda,travelled far and wide to organize schools. She too was one of the forebears whose spirit as well as blood ties are important for us now. Probably your further study of the family records will show that more than once your forebears were arrayed on different sides. Prior to.the battle of Hastings your lineage of early families rallied around King Harold. Yet your record indicates that William the Conqueror also gave his superb physical and spiritual heritage to our own ancestors. COLONIAL FOREBEARS. In the 17th century at the first Church Council for' the consideration of heresy in New England one of our ministerial ancestors, Rev. Peter Bulkley of Concord, pre­ sided over the assembly as another, Rev. John Wheelright with Mrs. Ann Hutchinson, was banished from the Massachusetts Colony. Wheelright founded Exeter, New Hampshire and led the first settlers in the opening of that region. William Arnold went to Rhode Island with Roger Williams. His grandson, Benedict was the first governor of that colony and also a forebear of the general who became a traitor in the struggle for American independence. Only the first Benedict Arnold, the governor, was in our lineage. When New Haven was settled in 1639 the settlers established a government by signing the charter of the colony, known as the Fundamental Agreement. Three of our ancestors signed that document. Mary Pierson, another ancestor, had a brother who was to become the first President of Yale.- Their father, Rev. Abraham Pierson, was the first minister in the oldest English speaking church In New York. He served the Southampton Church where I was invited to' inaugurate and commemorate -252- THE REED FAMILY the three hundredth anniversary exercises in 1939 and 191+0 by deliver­ ing two historical addresses. In checking the early historical documents I learned that the third minister was the Rev. John Harriman, an ancestor in the Rosecrans lineage of the Swartz family. Pierson served the church in Branford for twenty years and later led the colonizers of Newark, N.J., the last theocratic government in the rapidly changing 17th century. In that century there were many pioneers in the settlements of the new colonies. We can list some seventy families that arrived in the 17th century. William Tuttle settled in Charlestown, John Putnam came to Salem, John Prescott settled Watertown, James Allen was one of the original landowners in Medfield. Charles Hill formed the first business partnership in New London. Daniel Kellogg was an exceedingly strong man some seven feet tall who could sieze two quarrelling men by the necks and knock -their heads together. There must have been many men who possessed diplomatic skill. Peter Bulkley fled England when Archbishop Laud prohibited his clergy from departing. He led the colony that founded Concord and made the treaty with the Squaw Sachem Tahattav/an, guaranteeing peace between whites and Indians for an area six miles square. This treaty was faith­ fully kept for years. But some were not sjrfskillful. One patriot was beheaded for treason to an early English king. Another was involved with the persecution of witches in Salem. LIBERTY EARNED There were also many plain folk. Some of our ancestors sold their liberty to reach these shores. James Allen became free on May 26, 161+7* Edward Beauchamp was made a free man on Feb. 28, 161+3. On the other hand, some were well-to-do. John Prescott owned lands in Barbadoes before he settled in Watertown, in 161+0. By 161+3 he settled a new tract which he called Lancaster. Rev. Peter Bulkeley was the wealthiest man in Concord, as well as the minister. Rev. Abraham Pierson was second to Roger Treat in wealth in the Newark Colony. There were many well educated persons. Rivalry between Yale and Harvard today will be all the more interesting as we note some of families' early connections with each college. Peter Bulkeley left his library to Harvard College, John Harriman (Swartz line) graduated in 1667, Rev. Daniel Putnam in 1717 and Rev. David Hall in 1721+. Yale claims as first president Rev. Abraham Pierson, Jr., son of our ancestor of Southampton and Newark. Eleven members of the Lockwood (Swartz lineage) family were graduates of Yale by I83I+.

AUTHORS Always interested in books our family will want to know that Peter Bulkeley's book of sermons, "The Gospel Covenent," was published in 161+2. Peter Bulkeley's story is one of the great epics of the Protestant quest for liberty. As a zealous Puritan Archbishop Laud proscribed the departure of former ministers. He took ship under the assumed name of Mr. Barkley with several of his children. By pre-

arrangement with a fellow conspirator his wife, Grace Chetwood Bulkeley( was at the last moment transferred from another ship and sailed wiAh -253- THE REED FAMILY

her husband and step children.

In visiting Concord three hundred .years after its founding I recorded from the plaque on a huge boulder the following - Bronze Tablet - Concord, Mass. Reddish granite stone. ^Here in the home of the Reverend Peter Bulkeley, first minister and one of the founders of the town. A bargain was made with the Squaw Sachem - the Sagamore Tahattawan and other Indians who then sold their right in the six miles square called Concord to the English planters and gave them peaceful possession of the land; A.D. I636"- August 26, 1936. In 1657 Abraham Pierson sent the manuscript of his catechism set up in the Quiripi Indian language and in English, with two friends on Garrett's ship for publication in England. All on board were lost at sea. By September 1658 a new manuscript was prepared and forty copies were printed in Cambridge. It is reported that this volume was the second oldest book to be printed in the colonies, the Bay Psalm Book being the first. Some years ago I held one of the two extent copies in my hands for inspection in the New York Public Library, where it is kept in a fire proof vault,

EUROPFAN LINFAGE That the Reed Family goes back thru the Prescotts and the Bulkeleys to great historical characters is a matter of interest to a section of the family. Charles Martel is forty-five generations back of the writer. His career in the eighth century led him to become King of the Franks. His name "Martel" mmo "hammer", which he earned by his decisive victory over the Saracens near Poitiers in 732, He turned back the great wave of Islam and saved Europe generally for the advance of Christianity. Pepin, le Bruf, his son was the first of the Carlovingian kings of France and reigned from 752-768. Then he was succeeded by Charles I, or as he was widely known Charlemagne who as King of Austrasia and Neustria soon became King of all France and a great part of what is now Germany. He was the most powerful as well as the most intelligent monarch of his time. He founded schools, churches, monasteries and promoted the arts. In 800 he was crowned at Rome as Emperor of the West, He instituted steel armor for his troops and personally developed such enormous strength that none could use his weapons.

ENGLISH LINEAGE Over in the British Isles, Ethelwolf, King of Wessex, reigned from 836 to 858. He fought and defeated the Danes at Okeley in 85l. He was followed by Alfred the Great whose story is known to all who prize our Anglo-Saxon heritage. William I, the Conqueror, was born 1025 and after the battle of Hastings, became King of England. He was the son of Robert, Duke of Normandy, whom he succeeded at the age of ten years. William was astute, ambitious, possessed an excellent intellect and military genius of a high order. He invaded England and defeated and killed King Harold in the battle of Hastings on Oct. 11+, 1066. To the Normans he gave the choicest places in his realm. In IO87 he died unattended by his family and was buried in ground for which purchase was completed during the funeral exercises.

Henry I, the fourth son of William the Conqueror, was surnamed Beauclerc. He was born in 1068 at Selby, Yorkshire and received a superior education. In August U00 on the death of William Rufus, -25U- THE REED FAMILY his brother, he usurped the throne during the absence of his elder brother, Robert, in the Crusades, He issued a charter which confirmed the rights and liberties of the people. His wife was Maude, a Scottish princess. His daughter, Mathilda, was declared his heir in 1126, but upon his death in 1135 Stephen of Blois succeeded him,

Henry II became king by seizing power on the death of his brother, William Rufus, who was shot by a hunter or assassin with an arrow piercing his chest. The barons were opposed to him, prefering Robert, Duke of Normandy, who was absent on a Crusade for the delivery of the Holy Land, He had the support of the common people and Henry's subsequent marriage with Matilda of Scotland and the granting of the charter which was the first limitation accepted by the Crown on the autocratic power established by the Conquest, The King promised to restore the order and the "law of Eadward," the old constitution of the realm with the changes which William, the Conqueror, had introduced, Matilda had been brought up in the nunnery of Romsey by her aunt, the abbess. Before her marriage she renounced the veil. This marriage symbolized the blending of the blood of the old Eng­ lish with that of the Normans, There was a marked religious revival in the reign of Henry I and afterward. Henry gave a vigorous administration of public affairs with notable internal reform.

Matilda was born in 1102 and became Empress of Germany by her early marriage to the Emperor Henry V who died in 1125. Two years later she was the wife of Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou. She waged a long war with King Stephen, Earl of Blois, who usurped her father's throne, A treaty settled the crown upon her son, Henry II, Henry II, King of England, was born in France at Le Mans in 1133, He inherited from his father, Anjou, Touraine and Maine. In 1152 he married Eleanor, Duchess of Aquitaine and the divorced wife of Louis, King of France. Henry then possessed Poitou as well as Aquitaine and became master of half of France. In 115U he ascended the throne of Eng­ land. He pursued a wise course, discharged the foreign troops, curbed the power of rebellious barons, destroyed their castles and checked the power of the Pope. By the Council of Clarendon prelates and nobles recognized the royal authority over the papal. His sons, abetted by his Queen, rebelled against him in his later years and at his death in 1189 he was succeeded by Richard I. Our ancestor was William Longspee, his son by Fair Rosamond(b.ll76 - d. 1226)

Henry II, according to Green, mounted the throne with a resolute purpose of government. "His practical, serviceable frame, the fiery- face, the close-cropped hair, the prominent eyes, the coarse strong hands, the bull neck, the bowed legs, that marked out the keen, stirring, coarse- fibred man of business. 'He never sits down,' said one who observed him closely;, *he is always on his legs from morning till night.' Orderly in business, careless in appearance, sparing in diet, never resting or giving his servants rest, chatty, inquisitive, endowed with a singular charm of address and strength of memory, obstinate in love or hatred, a fair scholar, a great hunter, his general air that of a rough, passionate, busy man, Henry's personal character told directly on the character of his reign. His accession marks the period of amalgation, when neighbor­ hood and traffic and intermarriage drew Englishmen and Normans rabidly into a single people." Towards the end of his life his sons conspired against him, but he is remembered for the Charter of Clarendon. THE REED FAMILY COLLATERAL LINES OF FLORENCE REED SWARTZ

VILLEROY DIBBLE REED WAS DESCENDED FROM JOHN REED, a former officer in Cromwell's army. After the Restoration it was necessary for many Puritans to emigrate to the colonies. John Reed settled near Norwalk in the 1680's after having lived in Providence for some time. His two sons, John and Thomas, founded large families. The Reed Genealogy by Reed-Wright lists more th&n descendants, John's family has the larger number listed. The lineage as outlined elsewhere has two soldiers known to have served in the Revolutionary War, Kitchell Reed and Joseph Dibble. Villeroy was the son of the second Kitchell and Sally Dibble. He v/as bom in Granville, N. Y. on April 27, 1815. The family later moved to Lansingburg, N. Y, where he became a member of the First Presbyterian Church at the age of twelve. He was later to serve this church for a period of fourteen years, IANSINGBURGH, N. Y, was developed on land originally granted to Robert Saunders of Albany on Sept. 1, 1670 by Francis Love­ lace, Governor of New York under James II. Quit rents were to be paid annually to the crown upon demand, (cf. A.I, Weise, Lansingburgh and Troy) The original name of this community was called by the Indians, "Tascamcatick," It passed to Joannes Wendell on May 26, 168J, He sold the property which lay opposite the middle branch of the Mohawk River to Abraham Jacob Lansing for S£00. On Aug. 9, 1792 the First Presbyterian Church was formed upon the dissolution of the Reformed Church. The church, a building 6U' x 50' was dedicated June 22, 1791+. It was in this structure on the north end of the town green that Villeroy attended church.

UNION COLLEGE at Schenectady gave him a liberal education. At the age of twenty he graduated with Bachelor of Arts degree. He studied theology at Auburn and Princeton Theological Seminaries and was ordained by the Presbytery of Albany when only twenty-four years old. Meanwhile his home town was developing. The State Gazateer, published by T, F. Gordon, describes his village which "contains 2 Presbyterian, 1 Baptist, 1 Methodist, 1 Episcopal and 1 Universalist churches, an academy of high repute, 6 select and 1 district schools, several public libraries, a printing office, 2 factories manufacturing oil cloth and carpets, 1 brushes and bellows 'surpassing as it is said in quantity and quality any other in the world,' 2 breweries, 3 maltseries, a grist mill, machine cards, paints, glue, leather, rope nails, stoneware and brass castings, a bank with £120,000 capital, slaughtering and packing houses producing 16,000 barrels of meat annually, about 500 dwellings 'most of which are neat and commodious, and some of them elegant. This is a place of much business, commercial and manufacturing."

For five years after^ordination Villeroy was pastor at Stillwater, N, Y, In Lansingburgh tragedy and opportunity followed in close suc­ cession. On July 9, 181+3 a disastrous fire swept thru some forty build­ ings in the heart of the village destroying some two blocks. One year to the day, July 9, 181+1+, Rev. Villeroy D. Reed began as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, He continued in his home town until 1858. During this period just prior to the Civil War there was considerable expansion. In 181+5 the town had a population of 3982 and in 1855 it increased to 5700. Naturally the church also grew. The fire may have; burned the first church, because there is a record of commencing the new church edifice in 181+1+ and opening it for service on April 25, 181+5. THE REED FAMILY - VILLEROY D. REED ' " "2^9~

(Lsvinus Lansing had ordered brick from Holland for a house, but he gave the shipment to the church and contented himself with a house of wood. Three Lansing brothers donated the site.) This building of a church in the first year of pastorate would indicate that there was severe hardship for which the new minister was needed, but faith sufficient to respond to a great challenge in the hearts of both minister and people. The Sunday

before VilleroytS thirtieth birthday may very likely have been one of the red letter days in his long and notable career in the' ministry.

MODERATOR In 181+1+at<: the beginning of his Lansingburgh ministry he was elected Moderator of the Synod of Albany at the age of twenty- He t0 receive many'honors from the leaders of the churches. In 1558 Union College awarded him a Doctor of Divinity. • In 1868 the Synod of New Jersey elected him Moderator, Eight times during his life he was chosen a Representative to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, the last time in 1896 when he was over eighty years of age. The Rev. Dr. Iilliam H. Fishburn, a successor in the pulpit of the First Church of Camden, II. J., said of him, "It has fallen to the lot of few men to fill so many positions of prominence as fell to him." He was a member of the Committee on Re-union from 1866 to 1870 when the Old School and the New School branches of the Presbyterian Church were united. He was a Trustee of the General Assembly for twenty-three years, a member of the Board of Domestic Missions for six years, President of the General Assembly Board of Education for five years, and President of the General Assembly Board of Ministerial Relief for ten years. In 1857 he was elected by the Synod of Iowa to the Presidency of Alexander College in Dubuque,

PASTORATES He was not satisfied with the situation at the college and became Stated Supply of the Central Presbyterian Church of Buffalo for one year^ and of the Church at Cohoes, N. Y, for one year. He Served the First Presbyterian Church of Camden, M. J. from 1861 to 1881+, a period of nearly twenty-three years. A total of 7l+7 persons were added to the Church of whom 328 were by confession of faith, an average of about 33 a year. In the year 1872 Dr. Reed raised $35,280 for building and congregational expenses and in addition that same year the Church contri­ buted $1313 towards benevolences. This was the high water mark in the church's history. On June 1, 1873 the stately new edifice was dedicated, 'His pastorate in Camden was from Nov. 20, 1861 to June 30, 1881+, in his seventieth year. For three years he served at Frazer, Pa., and at Zlon's Church in Philadelphia for one year. He served the Elm Avenue Mission and helped its organization as Emmanuel Church. Then he served for four years in the Tennent Memorial Church in Philadelphia.

MARRIAGE On Oct. 21, 181+5 Emily Wilcox of Orwell, Vt. and Villeroy Reed were married. Her pictures show her to have been a brunette with dark eyes and somewhat long oval face. Their first child, Emily Wilcox Reed, was born Sept. 6, 181+6. Anna Stevens arrived on Sept. 15, 181+9., Before Emily was seven years old, her mother Emily Wilcox died on July 25, 1853. About a year later the life of a widower with two little girls and the needs of a busy pastor led him into a second, marriage to Fanny Underwood on Oct. 18, 1851;. This marriage was not destined to last long. Villeroy was bereft again. It has been impossible to ascer­ tain where or when this loss occurred.

"He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again," 260A THE REED FAMILY - VILLEROY D. REED LUCY MARIA ALLEN was living with her father, William Rufus Allen, in Buffalo N.Y, Her mother, Eliza Minerva Averill (b. Feb. , 1810) died in childbirth on Nov. 10, 1838. William Rufus then took his teen age daughter to a farm near Tonawanda, Niagara Co., N.Y. He was a lawyer and was admitted to the bar in 1832. In Tonawanda he organized a Sunday School Later in Buffalo he was an elder in the Central Presbyterian Church and also a teacher in the Sunday School. It was natural that the family should take an interest in the able minister, a widower, who was in middle life at the height of his powers in i860, Villeroy married Lucy on September 5", i860. Soon after they moved to Cohoes where for a about a year Villeroy was Stated Supply of the Pres­ byterian Church. It was there that my mother, Florence Allen, was born on Oct. lu, 1861. Ten years later Villeroy Allen added joy to his big half sisters, Emily and Anna and his own sister Florence. He was born on July 7, 1871, when his father was fifty-six years of age. GRANDFATHER Reed had already retired from his'active ministry when I be­ came conscious of him as a person. He was living at 316 N. 37th St. in West Philadelphia in one half of a double house. By the south side there was a small garden between the one next door. In the old fashioned parlor there was a marble fireplace and mantel with some crystal candlesticks. The glass prisms reflected the light so beautifully that we often walked up and down in the sunlight looking at the rainbow colors. On many occasions Grandfather took my brother Carl with us the short dis­ tance to Fairmont Park to see the animals in the zoo. He was a grand companion and had a gentle disposition that won our childish affection. I remember his pride in our younger brother, Howard Villeroy, and the day vrtien he wrote in a Bible for him the quotation from Psalm 119:11, "Thy word have I hid in my heart*" Consequently I have always felt the in­ fluence of his life which well followed that injunction* One Sunday when I was about five years old we went together to a Pres­ byterian Church not far from the University of Pennsylvania where he had frequently preached and where the minister was a particular friend of his. On the way to church he explained that the minister might invite him to come into the pulpit to offer prayer, as he had done before. In that case would I remain quietly in the pew? But grandfather remained with re. I remember that my feet could not reach the floor and there was no footstool. Unconsciously I must have sat there swinging my feet in time with the music. Grandfather said nothing, but reaching down he held my shins firmly until I became still, and then he smiled. He knew t'hat I understood. From him I am sure that many learned a true sense of worship.

It was a bitter cold day in the winter of 1899. My grandparents had visited us in the Poughkeepsie Manse several times and I considered my Grandmother Reed a pleasant companion who particularly like her three grand­ sons. She would play games with us and tell us fine stories. The tel­ egram delivered early one morning said that she was sick and wanted to see Mother and Father. I believe that Aunt Sarh Hildebrand came from Wayne, Pa, to care for the three small boys while their parents were away. When my parents returned they told me that Grandmother had dried. It was the first time that we really experienced the sorrow of such loss. GJg£~ father spent some time with us after that. In June of 1901 on the 2oth ne died in our home in his 87th year. -261- THE REED FAMILY - VILLEROY D. REED

At this time he has had forty-three descendants, but his four children and three of his grandchildren have gone to join him. Three grandchildren and thirty-three great grandchildren still survive who will increasingly appreciate their fine inheritance.

THE ALLEN FAMILY - #375 Lineage

Lucy Maria b. June 22, I83I+ m, Villeroy D. Reed ca i860 d. 1899 or 1900.

cf. "Genealogical Sketches of the Allen Family,", by Frank Allen Hutchih- sonj "Allen Family of Dedham and Medfield," by F. A. Hutchinson; "History of the Allings - Allen of New Haven," George P. Allen,' 1899; "The Allen Family,'! by Augustus L. Allen.

The name Allin or Allen is derived from a British family. It is pre­ sumed to be a corruption of 'AElinus,' signifying "sun-bright." There is a Gaelic word 'Aliune' which means 'fair,t or *handsome.* In Irish there is 'Alun» - 'fair,' or 'beautiful.' According to Dixon's Surnames the English Allan or Allen connotes 'all-winning,' 'all-conquering..' There is another explanation that it is an ancient name from a Saxon origin, supposedly written 'Alwyne' and meaning 'beloved of all.'

William Allen of Walsingham, England, was one of the first Protestant martyrs in 1555.

Also note the second Allen lineage (for Jane Allen who married Rev. Peter Bulkeley) produced two Lord Mayors of London.

9 - James Allen, grandson of Reginald Allen of Colby, England, came with Rev. John Allin to Dedham in 1637. He is mentioned in records of I638. He was admitted to the church Oct. 2, 16U6 and made free on May 26, 161+7. In 161+8 his estate was valued at &2 and tax was 2s 5d. He was among the first thirteen proprietors of Medfield. The committee laid out thirteen lots on June 19, 1650. "To James Allen seven acres abutting upon the waste Lands upon all the sides thereof round about." He lived on South Street. By 1652 his estate had increased to i 139. In Dedham Mar. 16, I638 he married Ann Guild who was b. and'd. Mar. 29, 1675. He died Sept. 27, I676.

8 - Nathaniel, the sixth child of James, was born in Dedham Aug. 29, 161+8 and resided on South St. in Medfield. m. Apr. 1, I67I1 Mary, d.

Diet ii, p. 209) The name was also spelled Frizell, or Frissell,

7 - Ebenezer, b. in Medfield Sept. 25, I69I+. In 1719 he married Mary Hill, descended from Charles Hill of New London and Jonathan and William Brewster of Plymouth. His children were all born in Medway, His sister Ann, b. June 6, 1687 in 1719 was married to Ebenezer Hill or Wrentham,

6 - Ebenezer, b. Medway, Aug. 13, 1728. He had a brother Nathan who was b. Mar. 5, 1736. On Dec. 10, 1760 he married Mehitable Dana(b. Feb. 20, 1739 - d. May 9, 1810) She was the daughter of Ebenezer Dana b. Dec. 12, 1711, d. Aug, 19, 1762 and Mehitabel Goodell. Ebenezer Allen lived in Pomfret where the Dana family had been established for some time. He -262- • v THE ALLEN FAMILY had a sister Eunice. His death occurred about 1775.

5 - Nathan AUen, b. Dec. 2, Y?6k was married to Mary Putnam, (b. Jan. 25, 1766/7 - d. Oct. 9, 18U8) on Feb. 26, 1790. She was the daughter of Rev. Aaron Putnam of Pomfret Center, Conn, qv After their marriage they moved to Springfield, Otsego Co., N. Y. When their first child was only a few days old, they returned from the village to find their house in flames. Mary exclaimed in devout thanksgiving after the narration of the story of the fire, "Here am I, Lord, and all the children Thou gavest me." Nathan died July 29, 1833. In the Last years of their lives they lived in Fort Plain, N. Y. h - William Rufus, b. Sept. 23, 1803 - d. Feb. 22, 1890, m. Eliza Minerva Averill(b. Feb. 1810 - d. Nov. 10, I838 in childbirth) She was the daughter of Josiah Averill (qv). William Rufus had moved to Buffalo in the mid eighteen forties. His name is listed in the directories of that period as a member of the law firm of Allen and Baldwin. One of the places in which he lived stood next to the Lafayette H otel. It was during an interim ministry of Villeroy D. Reed in the Central Presbyterian Church that they met. He had twin brothers, Augustus Lorenzo and Horatio Philanzo, b. 1809. The former induced my father and mother to visit Poughkeepsie. During my first two weeks in that city in I896 I first net him as a guest in his home. He was the oldest man of my acquaintance at that time and upon his death left his gold watch and a $20 gold piece to me. That was invested in the purchase of a violin in 1901.

She was his third wife, mother of Florence Allen and Villeroy Allen Reed, 1 well remember her loving kindness to her grandchildren, her cheerful, quiet nature. She was gracious and gentle, bore herself well even in her old age. She loved a joke, was a dutiful worker in her husband's churches and had a just pride in her physical and cultural inheritance. In the I890»s they lived at 316 N. 37th St., Philadelphia, Pa, where I fre­ quently visited them. It was in January 1899 that her death occurred,

33.-37 King Alfred the Great, born 8119. Married 869, Alswitha, daughter of Ethelred, Mercian ealderman. Crowned in Winchester 871, He once said, "Power is never a good, unless he be good that has it; so it is the good of the man, not of the power. If power be goodness, therefore it is that no man by his dominion can come to the virtues and to merit; but by his virtues and merit he comes to dominion and thus no man is better for his power; but if he be good it is from his virtues that he is good. From his virtues he becomes worthy of power, if he be worthy of it. By wisdom you may come to power, tho you should not desire the power. You need not be solicitous about power nor strive after it. If you be wise and good it will follow you, though you should not wish it." He died October 28, 901. 3li.—36 Ethfleda, daughter of King Alfred., married Ethelred, Earl of Mer- cia.

Had to pay ten pound fine. For other hotheaded explosions he had been dis­ barred from the courts. With his own money (h 1+0) built a stockade and workshops near his house in Concord.

The excellent biographical material available for the Rev# Poter -Bulkeley is found in the Public Library of Concord, Mass. which I vis­ ited for several hours on a lecture and promotion trip for the Federal Council in the late thirties. . Among the volumes of special Interest are Cotton Jfether*s Magnalia Christi Americana, which contains much in­ formative material in his quaint style. It will be worth your reading Elizabeth Lowell Everett's, "Peter Bulkeley and His Tines," "The FamiJy of Peter Bulkeley," and his own book of sermons, "The Gospel Covenant" pub­ lished in 161+2. A second edition was published in 1651.

The title page quotes two Bible verses to which this minister gave great importance, "lam God all-sufficient, walke before me, and be thou upright: and I will make my Covenant between me and thee and thy seed af­ ter thee in their generations, for an everlasting Covenant." Gen. 17:1, and 7« "Encline your eares and come unto me, heare and your soule shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you." Isa.55:3 Mark Rutherford says of this book, "It will perhaps be admitted tp be better worth study than the mythology even of Greece or India." NOBLE LINEAGE The Bulkeley fanily had reason to be proud of its tradi­ tions and heritage. It traces its lineage thru fifty generations, with the Bishop of Metz, St. Arnoul, who was born about 580 A.D. and died on July 18th, probably in 61+0. He early distinguish­ ed himself as a warrior and a statesman, but convinced of the needs of mankind for spiritual leadership devoted himself to the work of God and about 611 was made Bishop of Metz, He was a friend of the Austrasian nobility and rulers. Clothair II owed him a great debt in becoming mon­ arch of Neustria. His son married the daughter of Pepin of Landen and thereby he became the aicestor of the Carolingian kings. Famous monarchs like Charles Ifertel and Charlmagne were his descendants. In spite of his great activity and his many honors he yearned for a life of religi­ ous devotion and he retired from his episcopate in 627 and went into the wilderness of the Vosges* If any of you people who belong to Reed- Swartz clan should visit the Continent you may find his grave in the church in Metz which bears his nane to this time. He is also known as Saint Arnulf of Ifetz. The lineage includes, also, Kenneth MacAlpin, King of the Scots who died in 859, and five other Scottish monarchs, Ethelred II of Eng­ land and several earls and lords, including the Earl of Northumberland, Roland, Lord of Galloway, Reginald, Lord of the Isles, and the Earls of Orkney who were descended from Hakon I of Sweden, St, Olaf of Norway, who was born in 995 who won more power than any of his predecessors on the throne of Norway. Olaf's cunning and cruelty were forgotten and his people remembered him for his services to his country and his church.

Among others of note in medieval England were Baron Zouche, de - scended from the Viscomtes de Porhoet of Brittany, Saher de Quincy, first Earl of Winchester and a surety of Magna Carta, the Earl of Leicester who was descended from the Capetian kings of France. There were also lineages from the Earl of Salisbury, Robert Count de Mortaigne, and the royal houses of Anjbu - Plantagenet, Normandy and the Saxon Kings. PURITAN HERITAGE Pet&fr'J father was the Rev. Edward Bulkeley, Prebend of Chester in 157U» He was an evangelical preacher of distinction who was successful in QJctoaortMnary service as scholar and a non-oomfomist and was Vicar of St. Mary in Shrewsbury. •267* REV, PETER BULKEI^Y was born Jan. 31* 1583 in Odell and migrated to B Cantoridge in trie Colony of mssachusetts in 163$ with a considerable fortune of &6000, He was a preacher of great pow­ er who had incurred the hostility of Archbishop Land and was forbidden to leave England. His first wife, Jane Allen, was a cousin of the Lord Mayor of London so that Peter had strong political.connections. His second wife, Grace Chetwood, was a lady of noble birth and courage like his own. Leaving England; under assumed- nana and by sudden transfer of his wife from another ship on which she had separately booked passage, they experience an unusal event which appeared at first to be a tragedy. Mrs. Bulkeley "apparently died" and burial at sea was contemplated, but as he* body showed no sign of decay Peter kept a lonely vigil beside her, with the burial postponed. On the third day her-vitality was gradu­ ally restored and she was carried from the ship. She recovered to be the matter of their son, Peter, and to live to Old age. f CONCORD At the head of a company of planters Peter led the company to Concord where a treaty of peace was negotiated in his house with the Indians which became famous in colonial history. The early struggles in Concord in pursuit of religious freedom are recorded fully in the volume by Elizabeth Everett. Over one hundred and more years ago Rev. Esra Ripley observed of the pilgrimage to Concord, "It was Scarcely, if any, less adventurous or perilous in Bulkeley's day to come from Cambridge to Concord than from Holland to Plymouth in 1620V He was a Shrewd and capable business man. He reserved for himself the gristmill rights at what was to become the center of the village. He was in middle life when he made his venture of faith and gave proof of his willingness to sacrifice comfort and security for his religious con­ victions. He dedicated his first book of sermons to his nephew, Oliver St. John, for nor ly King Chariest Solicitor General and later the Chief Justioe of the Court of Common Pleas in England. "NEC TEMPERS NEC TIMIDE" the family motto under the fanily crest was characteristic of this nan. "teen he broke the ties with his mother country he wanted publicly to exercise his talents as God had given bin. capacity to pioneer for his faith. Townsend Scudder In "Concord, American Town commented, "Only a very few British clergymen thought and felt as did Peter Bulkeley. The great majority state-supported and secure, were content to stay within the structure of the established Church. The gentry, too, that cane to New England for the sake of their beliefs, formed a very small minority of all the immigrants. Bulkeley's brand of Puritanism held that nan himself had southing to do with his soul's saving. A powerful faction in Massa­ chusetts insisted that nan's salvation lay entirely in God's election. Because of his disagreement with this bleak belief, Bulkeley found that aome whom he counted his closest friends had passed by him, as if he were a nan that they did not know, when first he came to Boston." HARVARD C0I1EGE had his hearty support. He had little trouble enlist­ ing forty-two of Concord's citizens to give the sun of five pounds annually to the college for seven years. They also sent their ablest sons among whom was John Bulkeley, one of nine to graduate in Harvard's first class. His donation of many books from his library wenrTsiart the Harvard Library. Daniel Neal in "The History^ofthe Puritans" called hin "a thundering preacher and a judicious dlvinedili- eently and with substantial results furthering the interests of nis ISlewed in this world-and the next." President Ezra Stzles of 1, •aid. «I consider the Rev. Peter Bulkeley of Concord, President 01,,urc,y * Hooker Mr. Norton, arri I*. Davenport as the greatest divines • ong tte J^nin^teM of New England and equal to the first in th ology in all Christendom and In all ages." -267- THE PETER BULKELEY LINEAGE #887

She died before the family left England for the colonies» Her descent is recorded in the"History of the Allings and Aliens of New Haven"by George P. Allen, 1899. "The name is ancient of Saxon origin and is supposed to hav3 been originally written "Alwyne" which signifies "beloved of all." This family had two Lord Mayors of London. William Allen of Yfalsingham, England, was among the first Protestant martyrs in 1555.

Her mother Deborah Lathrop Avery married for her third husband, General Israel Putnam on June 3, 1766. General Israel Putnam was a first cousin of Aaron and lived in Pomfret since 1739, where he was probably also a parishoner before he became the stepfather of our ancestor. He was fifteen years ,older than Aaron. A. L. Allen writes In "A Brief History of the Allen, Putnam, Hall Families" (p 1+2) "Their blood relationship was lost sight of on account of their second marriages, by which Rev. Aaron Putnam became the step-son-in-law of General Putnam. Their social relations prior thereto, as well as afterwards, must have been very intimate, as I have often heard my mother, Mrs. Mary Putnam Allen,.., say that she was a great favorite of General Putnam, and when a little girl often spent days at a time at his house, which vras about tvro miles from her father's house, and often sat upon his knee and heard from him stories of his hairbreadth escapes, and of riding down the rocks, followed by Indians, when he received the bullet holes through his chapeau, which always hung upon the wall in his sitting- roomj also of his famous encounter with the wolf in her den, which was found to be near his Wiltshire Manor residence, altho he had followed her tracks twenty miles in opposite direction, so cunning was'she' in''leading' her pursuers" a$ay^'froW^**«8&nUOOloMl'PMnam's marriage to the widow of Rev. Ephraim^Av^ry, ''Brooklyn's Aflrst! minis­ ter, gave new dignity to his social position, bringing him into con­ nection with many prominent families. Mrs. Putnam had a large circle of friends. Her husband was the most popular man of the day. Their home was thronged \vith friends and distinguished strangers. Upon Gen, Iwael Putnam's death Pres. Dwight of Yale College most faith­ fully portrayed the character of the great leader: "Sacred be this Monument to the memory of Israel Putnam, Esq.^ Senior Major-General in the Armies of the United States of America, who was born at Salem, in the Province of Massachusetts on the - 27U - THE PUTNAM - HALL LINEAGE #582 7th of January, A J). 1718, and died on the 19th of May, A.D. 1790." Then follows a long tribute of praise. Continued disability of Rev. Aaron Putnam caused his resignation about 1801. He died in Pomfret Oct. 28, 18I3,(** See note below) 5 Jfery Putnam, the fourth child of Aaron and Rebecca Hall Putnam was b. Jan..25, 1767 and on Feb. 26, 1790 married Nathan Allen, son of Ebenezer Allen and Mehitabel Dana. He was born Dec. 2, 1761+ in Pom­ fret, Conn. The wedding was performed by her father. The following March they removed to Springfield, Otsego Co., N.

THE BASIS OF THE SWARTZ - REED CIAIM TO THIS BREWSTER - HILL LINEAGE

Charles Hill of New London, Conn, cf. Hist, of New London. Caulkins-p.307. The first co-partnership in trading at New London of which we have any knowledge, is that of Hill and Christophers, "Charles Hill, guirdler, and Christopher Christophers, mariner." Earliest date June 26, 1665. Purchased a warehouse from John Tinker on Mill Cove. He had previously lived in Maryland and sold out in 1668 his share in a plantation there to Robert Prowse. He was chosen recorder of the town, Feb. 25, 1669-70 and held office till his death. Also he was clerk of the county court at his decease. "Charles, son to George Hill of Barley, Derbyshire, was married July 16, 1668 to Ruth Brewster widow of John Picket." She was a granddaughter of Elder William Brewster of Plymouth Colony and daughter of Jonathan Brewster. - 276 - THE BREWSTER - HILL GENEALOGY #977 The presumption of our descent from William Brewster is based upon the following grounds: 1. Family tradition must have some credibility. According to my great great uncle's record there was a female ancestor who came over on the Mayflower. His reference to the Goodell family is not borne out by thoro investigation of that lineage in records not then accessible to him, but which I have checked. The only other alter­ native would be through a connection with some Hill family in view of the fact that our family records fail to give the name of Mary Ann Hill's father, 2. The tradition records that our ancestress who landed at Plymouth was the fourth Woman to land, In view of the emphasis put upon position it is unlikely that an unknown woman (of the twenty-eight enumerated, of whom ten were not wives of the men in the party) was allowed such priv­ ilege. It could have been accorded, however, to the wife of William Brewster, who had Hill descendants.

3. Now the families of Charles Hill's sons, Charles, Jr. arid Jonathan of New London and Norwich,'both of whom had a daughter Mary, had close association with members of the Allen familyi cf. Caulkins "History of New London," p* U32. re The North Parish meeting house on Raymond Hill. Two acres of the farm of Major Merrit were deeded on Jan, 17, 1721 to Capt. Robert Denison, Joseph Bradford, Jonathan Hill, Nathaniel Otis, and Ensign Vibert in trust for site of a church and burial place. "Mr. James Hillhouse preached his first sermons in the west room of Mr. Samuel Allen's tavern. He was "one of seven to belong to the church at my instalment Oct. 3, 1722," writes Mr. Hillhouse. p. U53 Referring to the separatists from Mr. Adams' Church, who assembled by themselves at each others houses, because of "the deadness of the church and the legal preaching." "Mr. Timothy Allen of West Haven was their teacher. Mr. Jonathan Hill was an exhorter" and many others took part. U. Ebenezer Allen probably lived in Pomfret (altho he may not have gone there at this early date.) It would be quite natural for any adventurous young man to be induced to travel to the thriving city of New London from an up-country community. 5. The date of Ebenezer Allen's marriage to Mary Ann Hill would coincide with the probable age of the eldest child of Charles Hill, Jr. Charles Hill, Jr's. daughter Mary would have been about 17 years old . at the time of the family record of marriage in 1719. No other Hill families were known in that area, nor around Pomfret so that the inferences constitute a reasonably certain conclusion that our lineage goes back through Charles aid Ruth Brewster Hill of New London. See Brewster - Hill genealogy. - 272 - THE GOODELL - ALIEN LIN8AGE #781 _ 277 - Notes from Goodell Genealogy compiled by Charles L. Goodell, Sec'v Emeritus of the Federal Council of Churches.

The Goodell family have a coat of arms, granted to "Goodell, Earl Soneham, County Suffolk, March 1, 1612," and the name has been spelled variot*ly, a* Goodell, Ooodall, Godell and even Goodie according to the taste or judgment of the writer.

10 - William Averill sometimes had his name spelled Aver ell or Avery, He settled at Ipswich before J&rch 1637, because on that date he received his first grant of land from that town. His name recorded in the "Town Proceedings" appears as William Avery, He was born about 1611 in a family of modest means. It is believed that he came from the family of Averills of 11 - Kent, England, Ife was the eldest son of Nicholas and Dor­ cas Averell of Ash, Kent which is very near London and a grand- 12 - son of Robert Averell who is buried at Ash and mentioned in a 13 - Chancery case in I638, and a great-grandson of Thomas Averell of Ridley, Kent who died in Sept, 1556. His wife's name was Abigail and the marriage took place in 1631 when both were very young. They had two sons born about 1632 ans I63U. It is possible that they arrived earlier than the first date of record, probably about 1635. 9 - William, b. about 1632, probably In England. On Mar. 31, 16U9 when he was about 17 years of age he was brought before the court in Ipswich for "defect in watching." On Oct. 8, 1650 he was a witness in court in the case of Theophilus Salter for lying and declared that Salter had also encouraged other youths to steal apples. His father's will was drawn Apr. 3, 1652 and proved Mar. 29, 1653. On Mar. 27, 1655 he took an oath in court that the Inventory of his mother's estate was true to his best knowledge. On July 31, 1661 William married Hannah Jackson who was probably the daughter of a neighbor, John Jackson. She was a woman of ability, with a strong influence as proved by the noted mutual agreement between herself and her children which held the family together for more than 35 years after their father's death. 8 - William III, b, Jfey 1, 1662 at Ipswich. He moved to Topsfield and married ab out 1685 Mary . He became a member of the Congregational. Church on May 2u, 1685 and was recorded as William Averell, Jr. About 1688 or earlier he moved back to Ipswich and later returned to Topsfield. On Oct. 25, 1702 Mary, his wife, was admitted to the church. He was a carpenter by trade. In 1706-07 he was sexton and grave digger. His wife died Mar. Hi, 1728/9 7 - William IV, b. 1685-90 m. Ruth Bemis on Oct. 13, 172ii. Her par­ ents are not known. As his father's income was limited the family scattered early. Some went to Maine. William, Jabez and Elizabeth went to Connecticut. It is said that they first went to Pomfret. There is a record of a deed Jan, 17, I71ii to Wm. Euerel of Topsfield from Samuel Webb of 100 acres in Windham County at Appaquag, which was N.E. corner pf line dividing town of Hampton and Pomfret. This land was inherited by lineal descendants to the 8th generation. He was admitted to Hampton Church on Aug. 25, 1723 and died Nov. Hi, 17U8. His wife died Oct. 20, 17u9. THE AVERILL LINEAGE #U88 (cont) - 279 - 6 - Stephen, b. Oct. 18, 1730 at Windham, Conn- on his father's farm. On May 5, 1770 he removed to Pomfret, Conn. He was stmember of the Connecticut Legislature in 1785. On June 18, 1752 he married Sarah Hendee, b. 1731, daughter of Josiah Hendee and Bathsheba Lamed. Sarah was mother of seven children and died in 1775 at the age of U5 years. He married for the sec­ ond time Mrs, Mehitable Dana Allen, daughter of Ebenezer Dana and Mehitable Goodell Dana. She was the widow of Ebenezer Allen of Pomfret(qv)b. Feb. 28, 1739 and was mother of three of his children. Apparently Stephen was a man of unusual ability. His estate was valued at $9,738.72 which was large for a farmer'in those days. 5 - Josiah, b. Nov. 3, 1763 in Windham County, son of Stephen and Sarah Hendee Averill, married'fhebe Allen, daughter of his step­ mother and moved to Otsego County to Springfield Center. Our other great-great grandfather, Nathan Allen, moved there about the same time. In the first census of 1790 his name appears in Montgomery County in the town of Cana joxharrie, now spelled Canajoharie. His eldest brother* Vi illiam Averill, was also ' . there. They moved to Springfield in 1805. He died Jan. 7, 1833 and his will was probated Apr. 2, 1833. After the death of Phebe Allen he married Sarah Guthrie, of whom we have little information. h - Eliza Minerva, b. Feb. 1810 in Springfield Center^ N.Y. m.

Sept. 11, l65l when the town was incorporated. He was a large landed proprietor of the town. He probably came with a brother, Joseph, as both were "among those to appeare in Towne Meetings," noted Mar. 20, 1656. In 1665 Kellogg was recorded to have "k acres by te coale bank." In 1668 he was on a commission to lay out a winter wheat field. In 1669 he was on the commission to treat with Stamford "to see if they and we can come to a loving and neighborly agreement," which they did. In I67O and I687 he was a selectman. He was a Representative to the General Court 1670, '72, «7U, '75, 177, '79, '80, and '83. In 1672 his estate in Norwalk was valued at 5»125. He was reputed to be the largest man in the province, being seven feet tall and "of proportionate dimensions otherwise." If he saw two men quarrelling he could pick both up and knock their heads together until they would cease their brawl. His wife was a direct descendant of Count Nicholas Bouton of France^ Chamilly. 8 - Joseph Kellogg, b» Mar, 1678 with a twin, Benjamin, lm. Sarah Plum, daughter of John Plum of Milford, on Nov* 25, 1708. She died Aug. 17, 1712.

He died before Jai. 21, 1721 and left his es­ tate to his widow and to,his sons, Joseph, David and Benjamin, and to his daughters, Elizabeth, Sarah, Rachel and Hannah. 7 - Elizabeth Kellogg, b. Oct. 5, 1703 ra. Daniel Reed. The Kelloggs and the Reeds were closely associated in this Norwalk area. Her two sisters also married into our Reed family. Sarah, b. Apr. 5, 1706 m. Samuel Reed, and Rachel, b, July 15, 1710 m. William Reed. The early Kelloggs were said to be partisans of James VI of Scotland. In early days it is said that the name was spelled in various ways, Cellog, Kilhog, or Kielhau which means a miner's pickaxe. Killloch means Kill for "cemetery" and loch for "lake." This could refer to the family of the Lake Cemetery.

c-?. The Reed Lineage p. 257 - 281 - JASPER CRANE OF NEW HAVEN AND NEWARK was one of the original settlers #95U !'...> >• »* ' -of the New Haven Colony. He was born l605(ca') - d. 1681. His wife's nare was Alice, • The Cranes of England were probably of Norman extraction. The family tradition is that Jasper Crane was a brother of John Crane who was in Boston on Jan. 8, 1637 and that they came from London, England, He also signed the New Haven Fundamental Agreement on June 1+, I639, He was highly regarded wherever he lived. In 1658 he was chosen one of four magistrates of the New Haven Colony. As early as 161+2 he became interested in the proposed Delaware River settlement but was among those who were roughly handled by the Dutch. In 161+1+ he was a-trustee of the County Court.

W en the New Haven C0lony and the Connecticut Colony merged in the early sixties, he was one of a considerable group of very in­ fluential people who followed the principles of dissent and exerted their right to develop their future according to principles in which they devoutly helievod. He particularly ob ected to extending to non- church members the right to participate in local government. In the colony that settled in Newark he was one of the active members with Capt. Robert Treat. In 'an. 20, 1667 he headed the list of signers and church members of the First Church at Newark, and in 1668 he was chosen a magistrate along with Capt. Treat, and with him also was chosen moderator of town meetings. In 1672 he was chosen President of the Quarterly Court. In spite of his activity in the church he was engaged in a business not usually now associated with church leadership. He was given "lib­ erty to sell liquors in the town till the county order alter it." In view of problems arising with the authorities in England on July 1, I673 Jasper Crane along with Samuel Kitchell, also our ancestor, he was chosen to serve as a commttee with messengers from other towns to consider sending a petition to the Lords Proprietors om England for the removal of grievances. This Committee on July 5th agreed to pay to send a messenger to England, Later he arranged for the purchase of the neck of land between the Passaic and the Araritine Rivers. The family has been noted for interest in civic matters and in public service. On Mar. 12,175U six Cranes were elected to fill sev­ en public positions. On Mar. 13, 1759 eight different offices were filled by members of the Crane family. A portion of outlying Newark area in the vicinity of Montclair of today was so thickly settled by members of this family that it was known for a while as Cranetown.

He was a leader in the community and his name stands first among the sign­ ers of the "Plantation Covenant" or the fundamental agreement "to sit down and join themselves together in one certain plantation." He suspected the Connecticut Colony of serious defection from Pur­ itan ideals and settled in Guilford and then went with Rev.

ABRAHAM PIERSON belongs in the company of- those ministers of the Gospel who fled the persecutions, of the establish­ ed church in England for conscience sake. Along with Rev. Peter Bulke­ ley he was one of .the founders of churches in colonial America.- Our an­ cestor of the Concord Colony founded the 13th church. Abraham Pierson was the first minister of the 23rd church established in Southampton, L.I. in 161+0. He was also to build the church in Branford, Conn, and in Newark, N.J. M.A .Whitehead in the historical memoir of the settle­ ment says the city of Newark was named by the Rev. Abraham Pierson, "his early associations with Newark in England, when preparing for the minis­ try, prompting its conferment." He has been called the father of Newark. Genealogists disagree upkn the English ancestry of Abraham Pierson b. 1616 in Yorkshire. He graduated from Trinity College, 1632 and ob­ tained his M*A, in I636. The lineage given by W.S.Pelletreau in "Aner- ican Families of Historic Lineage" is set aside in favor of that given by Dr. J.G.Pierson of Southampton who questions the above date of birth and the presumed origin of the family in Middlesex* Dr. Pierson after independent investigation in England concludes that the family came from Yorkshire where the name passed thru various forms of spelling*

Mary Drake in I607, so that their son mieht have been born ca, 1610/12 10 - Rev. Abraham Pierson, graduated from Trinity College in 1632 and arrived in Lynn, Mass in 1639. On Oct. 11, ,161+0 he was appoint­ ed in Boston to be minister at Southampton. According to Cotton Nather this community was called "Agawam" by the Indians and had from 30 - 1+0 families. There were eight original-undertakers of this colony. Dr. Sprague in the "Annals of the A erican Pulpit" reports that Pierson^had been ordained episcopallymin England, but that the church in Southampton was connected with Hew Haven. "Mr. Pierson agreed with John Davenport in wishing to rest all civil as well as ecclesiastical power in the church and to allow none but church members to act in the choice of officers of government or to be eligible as such... He was dissatisfied with the agreement of 16UU to come under the jurisdiction of Connecticut. He, there­ for, removed in 161+ with a small part of his congregation to Bran- ford, Conn, and there organized a church and was pastor for 23 years.!1 The History of Newark (p79) notss that he "constructed the spiritual bulwarks of this new "Kingdom of God on EarthW with , infinite care,and with an enthusiasm that wuld indicate he almost felt that at last a way had been found to build up a community in this naughty world where sin could not enter in." He was man of erudition with l+i+0 volumes in his library, val- . ued at islaO, the largest in East and West Jersey. Many of these books he bequeathed to his son, Abraham, Jr., first President of Yale College. As Peter Bulkeley's books found their way into tho Harvard Library probably some of his books were the nucleus of the Yale Library. In 1651 he began missionary work among the Indians. Ho wrote a Catechism, "framed and propounded to convince the Indians by the THE PIERSON-WHEELRIGHT LINEAGE #955 light of nature and reason that there is only one God who hath made and governeth all things." He wrote the Commissioners at Plymouth in 1656 regarding this purpose and sent in 1657 his manuscript on Garrett's ship which sailed from Martha's Vineyard. All on board were lost at sea. He prepared another copy by September 1658 which was printed in Cambridge by Samuel Green. This is the first publication by a Connecticut author and the copy extant in the New York Public Library is one of the most valuable items of American printing from, this early colonial period. He had great influence thruout the New Haven Colony, particularly for his sincere and aggressive Christianity which was in entire keeping with the Puritan spirit of the times* Because of his scholarship and his personal character he was known as "a godly and learned man." Cot­ ton Mother said of him in his quaint fashion, "Wherever he came he shone. Elsewhere the Puritans and the Pilgrims never proposed to separate from England, but in the New Haven Colony they asked nothing from Eng­ land, * The seven men chosen to be in supreme charge of affairs of the church had also highest civic functions. The associated towns in this part of Connecticut, New Haven, Guilford, Milford and Branford were the last attempt, but one, of the Puritans in America to build a theocracy. It was to take nearly thirty years to prove that a "Kingdom of God on Earth" and "an Isle of Innocence" could not be made to work in the New

Haven Colony. After the merger of New Haven with Connecticut on the liberal basis of the suffrage a final attempt was led by Abraham Pier­ son and those from the four towns to build a theocracy In Newark, Cer­ tainly Pierson made the last stand for the principles of civic life that John Calvin had launched in Geneva more than a century before. The people of Branf ord in starting out for the settlement of Newark, tho at that time the name was probably not yet chosen, selected four texts from the Old Testament as the pillars of the new community. Deut. 1;13 "Take wise men and ,., and I will make them rulers over you," Ex, 18:21 "Provide out of all the people, able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness, and place such over them." Deut. 17:15 "Thou mayest not set a stranger oyer thee, which is not thy brother." Jer. 30:21 "Their governor shall proceed from the midst of them." These fundamental agreements were in force for a decade and a half. The first group responsible for exploration left New Haven in May 1666. When the location was determined it was found that the In­ dians claimed the land and Governor Carteret refused to pay them. The .settlers decided otherwise and paid what was asked. The historian notes, "Newark started with a clean record for fair and square dealing." On May 20, 1668 ceremonies were conducted on Divident Hill near Weequahic Creek to mark the boundary between Elizabethtown and Newark. Prayer and thanksgiving were duly rendered. Robert Treat and jasper * Crane were the representatives of Newark. On an oak tree there was carved on the south side an "E" and on the north side an "N". The creek hereafter was called "Bound Creek," For many generations be­ fore the white man came this same stream was the .boundary between the Hackensack and the Raritan tribes of the Leni Lenape Indians, On the first town committee another ancestor, Samuel Kitchell, served. Rev. Abraham Pierson was known thruout all the new world where Puritan doctrines took root. He and Robert Treat were the wealthiest among the founders as well as the most influential. Treat's estate was rated at 5*660 and Pierson's at 3t6UU, At Cambridge he was associated with the great John Milton and shared the eom-anionship of men of great mentality in such a raannor is to have gained immeasurably from them in his own outlook and princirloS, With deep religious feeling and high thinking he strove with all tho power that was in him to spread the Puritan doctrines. He married Abi­ gail Wheelright, daughter of Rev. John Wheelright, and died in L>?6. THE P2ERS0N-WHEELRIGHP LINEAGE #955 - 285 -

REV. JOHN WHEELRIGHT #1155

13 - John Wheelright, d. 1611 was a middleclass landowner in Mumby. 12 - Richard Wheelright, d. 1612 of Saleby in Lincolnshire. 11 - John Wheelright, b. 1592 in Saleby, matriculated in Cambridge Uni­ versity at 18 years of age. Oliver Cromwell, a fellow collegian, said of him, "I remember the time when I was more afraid of meet­ ing Wheelright at football, than I have been since of meeting an army in the field, for I was infallibly sure of being tripped by him." Cotton Mather c'dds, 'When Wheelright was a young spark at the University, he was noted for more than ordinary stroke at wrestling." In l6li| he had his B.A. from Sidney College and his M.A, in 1618. On Nov. 8, 1621 he married Harid^Storre, daughter of Rev. Thomas Storre, vicar of Bilsby. On Apr. 9, 1623 he suc­ ceeded his father-in-law as vicar there and remained for ten years. He was silenced for non-comformity in 1632 and was out of the ministry for three years. Meanwhile his wife, ?&rie died and sometime before I636 he married Mary Hutchinson, daughter of Edward Hutchinson of Alf ord. With her and five children he reached Boston in May of I636. In a little more than a year he was in serious theological difficulty with the Puritans and fared little better with them than he had in his contention with the Established Church a few years before. In March 1637 the General Court passed sen­ tence upon him for his Antinomian views, "guilty of sedition and contempt of the civil, authority." The new election in May proved that Governor Vane was outnumbered by the supporters of Gov. Win- throp. Wheelright refused to be silenced. He declared that if ho was guilty of sedition he should be sentenced to death, but that if pronounced guilty he vrould appeal to the King. The August Court - 286 - REV- JOHN WHEELWRIGHT -#L155 (Some biographers prefer the spelling of the name as "Wheelwright") postponed action until the November Legislature. In the meantime the First Synod coiavened on Aug. 30, 1637 with Rev. Thomas Hooker of Hart­ ford, noted for his liberal views which ultimately led to the separation of State and Church, and Rev, Peter Bulkeley of Concord, our ancestor too both serving as moderators in the serious theological disputes. For one week they were engaged in the statement and confutation of eighty-two erroneous opinions held by John Wheelright and his relative, Mrs, Ann Hutchinson, When the November Legislature convened on the 2nd those deputies who favored Wheelright were arbitrarily expelled. Rather high handed action for people who were trying to establish the Commonwealth. When summoned, they sentenced him as follows, "Mr. Wheelright, being formal­ ly convicted of contempt and sedition, and now justifying himselfe and his former practise, being to the disturbance of the civill peace, hee is by the Court disfranchised and banished." When he declined to give security for his peaceable departure from the Colony, tha Court ordered him into the custody of the Marshall, He went with rfome of his sympathizers, who had been disarmed by the civil authorities, and founded Exeter, New Hampshire on the Pascata- qua and Swampscotfc He spent the first winter at Newfields, There were probably a few adventurous squatters in the region. Wheelright took title to two large tracts of land from the local Indians, a deed for one of which is now in the possession of Phillips Exeter Academy, They soon agreed upon a form of government, the "Combination" the first of its kind in the territory -which was later to be known as New Hampshire. The colony became an outpost as an independent community of the English world The colony faced hard times and soon there was sentiment for union with Massachusetts. Wheelright and his able companions knew that they vrould again be forced into exile, V/heelright then took title from Ferdinando Gorges to land on the Maine coast in the neighborhood of Wells. He built a saw mill there and served as pastor* Later he petitioned for pardon from the Bay Government in a letter of humble tone and followed this communication by a more specific state­ ment of his position. On May 29, l6hk the Legislature ordered his ban­ ishment taken off. He was later at Hampton. In 1655 he visited Eng­ land and received many favors from Oliver Cromwell and Sir Henry Vane, foxsuer governor of Massachusetts. When he returned to the Colonies he'was installed as Pastor in Salisbury Doc. 9, 1662. Thp 70 years of age he had here his longest pas­ torate. He was contentious and lacked a concilliatory spirit. He was austere and rigorous in demanding his rights. Notably energetic, indus­ trious and courageous he possessed a vigorous and acute intellect. He was both learned and pious. His biographer says, "In making his brave stand for freedom of opinion and of speech, he was far in advance of his age. Impartial history will award him no insignificant place among the heroic spirits who have been content to subordinate ambition and all per­ sonal consideration to the dictates of the highest duty,"

I have already in the Foreword referred to those of the family who have a sizeable part in providing the initial elements of this interesting hobby of genealogi­ cal research. My early scientific training has. given me an urge for accuracy, the high standards of which I fear I have not always main­ tained. Where errors have appeared they have been corrected as far as possible, but the short periods of time available for much of this work have been responsible for certain lack of uniformity in recording some of the data. Where knowledge has been incomplete, inferences and assumptions have been made. Out of the dimness of the past some theories have been drawn that may be trails for other rese • ches by those with inclination and opportunity. Few arbitrary claims will ever pass the trained professional genealogist and I have sought scru­ pulously to avoid accepting without reservation whatever data has been seriously questioned. However, I have relied on the data published and have freely used lineages provided in standard publications. Of­ ten some paragraphs may have been inserted without explicit acknow­ ledgement of the original author, but usually such direct quotations are acknowledged wherever known. As this edition is prepared merely for private circulation and not for sale for profit I infer that no copyright provisions are infringed. These studies are also not to be copyrighted so that any one to whom this information may be valuable is encouraged to use the data for any non-profit purpose*

Among those who helped bring this study to completion are Mrs. E.B.Barghoorn of New Haven whose correspondence has been extensive, my cousin William Hamilton Swartz with considerable personal encour­ agement and valuable assistance in publishing, my several church sec­ retaries, Miss Hazel M* Feroe,. Mrs. Patricia G. Long, Mrs. Hazel W. Neidhardt, all of whom undertook extra work outside of church duties by my personal arrangement, and the many members of the family who have responded promptly to my inquiries for personal data. Their names will be recognized by the fulness and accuracy of the records.

Altho the major part of this work has been carried on in vaca­ tion periods and on days off this study could not have been so com­ plete if I had not been engaged professionally in vocations in which people will be always highly important. Altho organizations have much to their credit in our modern culture, the impulses that have been put forth by the best of them have been a part of the vision and purpose first of some trusted leader which has become shared by the larger group. I am indebted to the churches that have believed in at least the four week vacation annually. The Poughkeepsie Church has this year granted me the great privilege of two months without re­ quired duties. Without this added time this could not have been pub­ lished. As a Secretary of the Federal Council ny duties took ne to many communities with fine Genealogical Libraries where an hour of research proved refreshing and stimulating to imagination and purpose. I must thank my chief in 191U, Dr. John R. Mott, and his secretary too, for the jolt which made me determined to find out more about my beck ground. I wanted to return to Russia after the outbreak of the ,rr and I was told that my return was inadvisable because I had a C-^rrr n name. When I protested the secretary said, "Well, any way we are "Ot now sure where.the money is coming from." I never did find out if :.c sponsor, Hon. Charles R. Crane, cut his donation that year. Aug. 25, 1°'5 -292* THE CBAIN OF LIFE The chain of life extends thru ages long, Each soul a single link, some weak, some strong. Upon the life of every child descends The influence of forebears which still bends Their plastic characters in younger years, The father's best for the child that he rears. Aptitudes and physique are from the past. They are the golden heritage which last Of all takes shape in children's living forms. The child aspires and learns. The man performs. His health, endurance, mental speed, his voice, Capacity to grasp, or make the choice, His shape of brow, or nose, his hand or hair Remind his family of him or her, Long since departed from this scene of life. Yet what the child will do in work or strife Depends *u[ on a heritage as real As this of flesh and blood which all men feel. There is a psychic, social atmosphere - Which parents breathe - of courage, strength, or fear And insecurity, or faith and trust, Or selfishness and pride, pureness or lust. Environment will shape the little child, Maturing youth, self-poised or wanton wild. The generations, seventy or more, Include the brave of every land or shore - King Alfred, Duncan, Olaf, Charlemagne, Leofric, Charles Martel - on land or main, From south or north, the bravest of the brave. The dukes and knights of old, or humble knave Have added many links of lives that we In times far different might add two or three, Or even four or six new infant lives. By this, henceforth, humanity survives, Grows stronger, wiser, fairer, full of good, Because you take the task of parenthood. Receiving from the near and distant past This golden chain of heritage, bound fast Together, loving well, you pass it on And children growing in your home, your son Or daughter, undertake to pay the toll, Transmit good health and culture of the soul. Our fathers saw the dreams of folk mo3t fair With personality beyond compare, With mental stature strong as bodies tall, And loyalty to common, social ends, With love for all who would let live as friends,, These dreamers held the will of God supreme. Let not the children slander Him or scheme To set Man up as only end of all. Without the help of God mankind will fall Below his highest possibilities And lose his finest sensibilities. The links of old held fast to the Divine. The chain of future lives may God refine, P.A.S. July 29, 19U£. -293- IN CONCLUSION Family pride ie likely to become dangerous as soon as people rely on the position and fcrestige won for them by others. It is more ser­ ious when large wealth dulls the productive capacities of any genera­ tion and induces the rising youth in the family to be satisfied in any status of emotional or mental immaturity. So far as I can now foresee our family is not likely to encounter this particular form of tempta­ tion, because for the most part our vocations have not led to wealth of a monetary form. Whatever pride is justly ours is in the capacity which our forebears have given us to achieve commendable careers in the realm of scientific knowledge, education and social welfare. In the hope that our family may know and appreciate the attainments of their uncles and cousins still engaged in creative activities I am sending this book on its way. I request all to keep me informed of new arrivals and of career data that should be kept for this family record.

It is the promise of the future that means much to all of us, even tho some of our generation have but a few more years of active work a- head. We shall follow with genuine solicitude the growth of our many young people and wish for them some of the true satisfactions that so many of Joel and Adelia Swartz's descendants have already won and which more of you are now earning and deserving. I am hoping to re-estab­ lish correspondence with some from whom we have not heard for a long time. There should be a semi-annual supplement to this record, and if that should not be forthcoming I trust that in the future some one will publish a new record for the family, 3o that any mistakes made herein of statement or omission may be corrected and the stimulus which our generation has received from the members of the family whom we have for­ tunately known be passed on to those who shall bear the name into the twenty-first century, let us siren.-.then our fanily tics.

OUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN

Our children's children come to bless this world, To live and marry, suffer and share joys, To learn old skills, new arts and what employs Those faculties to be for goodness hurled, To build an age of peace, with v/ar flags furledl But first they live as little girls and boys, Their task to learn life's give and take with toys. Sweet friendships are like golden skeins entwirled. Then, twining into love, the child full grown Selects another, settles down and starts To make a home with children of their own. The faith of generations gone imparts To offspring power to do and dare, and sown Are seeds of truth to grow in brave young hearts.

Written July 26, 19U5, the birthday of Donna Dee Swartz, our first grandchild.
