Dr. John McLaren McBryde and Mrs. E. L. Cornman and Mrs. James Grant Tracy of the Bayard Line. PREFACE In presenting the history and genealogy as contained in the following pages the author does not for one moment claim to have included the issue of each line or of each marriage, nor of all those descended from each family, but rather to carry out th- descent of the direct line of the family to the first American l - cestor, from whence those descended can arrive to that positic i where they can conveniently trace their lineage from the frs ancestor arriving in America. In the forthcoming pages many who have no record or w have not become members of any patriotic bodies or who hs failed to avail themselves at a critical period of the requisite information, will find much aid in being enabled to trace t some ancestor their lineage as contained herein. .. It may be very difficult in time to trace the lineage of the _^ who, living in a country filled with an admixture of varioi , races, to prove their pure blood from American ancestors who settled in this country, unless we keep a true record. Although there are many references to the distinguished Bayard family, there appears to be no connected line of de- scent from the three brothers, Balthazer, Petrus and Colonel Nicholas Bayard, the sons of Samuel Bayard and Ann S yvf s- ant, which can be found together in one book. The »r does not pretend to give all the lines and issues of the c^.> at branches, nor of all the children of each marriage, nor is any claim made that perfection of the genealogy of this family has been attained. Those descended from Nicholas Bayard id Catherine Livingston will find by consultation of the Hous? of Alexander that they have a Royal lineage. The history and genealogy of the Houstoun family is trac »d from the first ancestor as given in Crawford's History of the Shire of Renfrew, to the family who settled in Georgia and he Royal lineage of the line from Sir Patrick Houstoun is pro ^n by his marriage to the daughter of Lord Bargany who in- rn married a daughter af the first Marquis of Douglas of le Angus family. The family of Boiton of Georgia has been already v/ritten and prmted by Rev. Robert Bolton, Reginald Bolton and Dr. IL Car- PD Books PD Commons rington Bolton, and the lines of the families are to be found in che Hal ersham and other Southern Families and the Lineage Book uf the Order of Washington. Therefore to avoid a long repetition of names we simply trace the family to Robert Bol- ton of Philadelphia, Pa., and his children, several of whom re- mqV^d to Georgia and Maryland, and some of their descendants to New York and Virginia. The point in the Bolton Lineage is to shpw.th^ descent from the ancient families of Assheton, Hulton of Hulton Park, and the Royal Lineage through the families of Byrgn, Barnake, Dryby and de Tateshall to Mabel Albini, daugh- ter ^of tlu Carl of Arundel, and hence to Charlemagne. As also TheHul : A-Pilkinton marriage to the Earls of Warren, to which line th'-i>aah the Queen Bee of the Hive, Elizabeth the daugh- ter of Hugh the Great Count of Vermandois, carries us back to the Houses of Capet and Charlemagne. Although not men- tioHed in ttiis work, a branch of the Adams family of Georgia is doubly descended from the one of Byron through the Dolton as has beeri stated, the other from Reade of Virginia by a inj. iage < f Robert Reade to Mildred, daughter of Sir Francis Windebanke and Lady Windebanke, daughter of Sir Edward Dymoke and Ann Talboys. Fro I the Houstoun family we find branches of the following lines ojs'^ended, such as Johnston, Mcintosh, Clinch, Sadler, Cole^^fioilock, Anderson of Georgia, Waring, Molyneux, Hopkins, Deme/e. Sullivan, Chisholm and others. From the Bolton line, branches of the families of Habersham, MaxWell, Milledge, Lesesne, Colquitt, Demer4 Adams, Elliott, McBryde, Newell, Turner, Bulloch and others. The author has consulted many works and taken the requi- site information from them, and takes this means of thanking the authors of the following: Ancient Families of Bohemia MauTr, bv Rev.

Arms : Azure, a chevron between three escallops, Crest: A demi-horse, argent. Motto: Amor honor et justitia. rhis ancient, noble' and very prominent family of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Georgia took its rise in France, but the persecutions of the Huguenots appear to have driven them to Holland, where we find at an early day Rev. Nicholas Bayard', D. D., pastor of a French Church in Antwerp, and a professor in a College prior to 1599, who had a son. Rev. Lazare Bayard. Among the prominent members of the family we find Colonel Nicholas Bayard, an Alderman of the City of New Amsterdam or New York, who in the days of the early history of the Colony 'The above arms, borne by Samuel Bayard 1638 (Holland). The dif- ference in those borne by Petrus Bayard of New York is only in Crest, a demi-uniconi. argent; and Motto, Honor et justitia. * All families on the Continent of Europe who bear coat armor are con- sidered noble, as were also the ancient feudal barons in England and Scotland. ' General James Grant Wilson had despaired of finding the ancestor of Bayard, when later on he found Rev. Nicholas Bayard, a pastor in a Church in H«)lland. d. mSTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE BAYARD FAMILY was one of its foremost citizens ; as also Petrus Bayard, Alder-w man ; Samuel Bayard, Colonel John Bubenheim' Bayard a most distinguished citizen who occupied many positions of promi- nence; the Delaware Bayards, five of whom became United, States Senators; Dr. Nicholas Serl Bayard, who removed to Georgia and was one of the founders of the Georgia Medical Society in 1805 ; and his son, Nicholas James, a banker ; as also Rev. George Livingston Bayard, Chaplain in U. S. Navy. In New York the family descended from or was allied to the foremost families, among whom were the Stuyvesants, Van Cortlandts, Livingstons, Van Rensselaers, Schuylers, Cuylers, Van Brughs and others ; in Pennsylvania and Delaware, such fam- ilies as Asheton, Bassett and Hodge ; and in Georgia descended from or related to the Glens, Kings, Mclntoshes, Bullochs, Seays and others. Among a large number of Huguenot refugees who were driven from France by the edict of October 25, 1685, were many who fled to Holland, among whom were the Bayards. In May of the year 1647, Mrs. Samuel Bayard, who was Ann Stuyvesant, sister of Governor Peter Stuyvesant, left the Old World, having lost her husband who died in Holland prior to that date, and accompanied by her four children, Balthazar, Petrus, Nicholas and Catharine, arrived in New Amsterdam, now New York. Judith, the sister of Samuel Bayard, had mar- ried the Director General, Peter Stuyvesant, and thus there was a double relationship between the families of Bayard and Stuy- vesant. We will now proceed to give the genealogy of this ancient family, which in every way became one of the foremost in America.' This line ^as heretofore accepte(f|begin3 with Rev.

  • New York Painting Begins: Eighteenth-Century Portraits at the New-York Historical Society the New-York Historical Society Holds
    New York Painting Begins: Eighteenth-Century Portraits at the New-York Historical Society The New-York Historical Society holds one of the nation’s premiere collections of eighteenth-century American portraits. During this formative century a small group of native-born painters and European émigrés created images that represent a broad swath of elite colonial New York society -- landowners and tradesmen, and later Revolutionaries and Loyalists -- while reflecting the area’s Dutch roots and its strong ties with England. In the past these paintings were valued for their insights into the lives of the sitters, and they include distinguished New Yorkers who played leading roles in its history. However, the focus here is placed on the paintings themselves and their own histories as domestic objects, often passed through generations of family members. They are encoded with social signals, conveyed through dress, pose, and background devices. Eighteenth-century viewers would have easily understood their meanings, but they are often unfamiliar to twenty-first century eyes. These works raise many questions, and given the sparse documentation from the period, not all of them can be definitively answered: why were these paintings made, and who were the artists who made them? How did they learn their craft? How were the paintings displayed? How has their appearance changed over time, and why? And how did they make their way to the Historical Society? The state of knowledge about these paintings has evolved over time, and continues to do so as new discoveries are made. This exhibition does not provide final answers, but presents what is currently known, and invites the viewer to share the sense of mystery and discovery that accompanies the study of these fascinating works.

SPOONER. the early Dutch colonial families the Van OF Rensselaers were the first to acquire a great landed estate in America under the "patroon" system; they were among the first, after the English conquest of New Netherland, to have their possessions erected into a "manor," antedating the Livingstons and Van Cortlandts in this particular; and they were the last to relinquish their ancient prescriptive rights and to part with their hereditary demesnes under the altered social and political conditions of modem times. So far as an aristocracy, in the strict understanding of the term, may be said to have existed under American institu- tions—and it is an undoubted historical fact that a quite formal aristocratic society obtained throughout the colonial period and for some time subsequently, especially in New York, — the Van Rensselaers represented alike its highest attained privileges, its most elevated organization, and its most dignified expression. They were, in the first place, nobles in the old country, which cannot be said of any of the other manorial families of New York, although several of these claimed gentle descent.
