1 RICHARD s,v.A.N appeared first in New E11gla11d at Bos ton, l\Jass., where he had a son John baptized Nov. 13, 1638. On the 24th of 9 month, 1639, he with others was disrni~sed fro1n the First Church at Boston to that of Rowley, ~!ass., in ,fhich place he became one of its pro1ninent citizens, representing the town in the l\fassachusetts General Court fron1 1666 to 1677. He served in King Philip's ,var of 1615 and 1676 and in an expedition to Canada, and was buried in Rowley, l\fay 14, 1678. His first wiie, whose name is unknown, died in England. He n1arried second l\frs. Ann, ·widow of John Trumbull.

She was the da~ghter of l>hilip :Bastman. 'they resided in Haverhill until 1707, when they removed to Ston ington, Ct., on what is now known as Swan ,.rown ltill in North Stonington, and where he died l\iay 1, 1743, and she died nee. i0, 1772, in her 100th year. Their gravestones were in good condition a few years ago. She is noted in the llistot·y of Haverhill, l\Iass., for her heroism as follows: "During the Indian War, when so many of the inhabitants were killed, the Indians attacked their ,1ome, which stood in a field now called \\1hite's lot, nearly opposite to the house .of Capt. Emerson. l\{r. Swan and his wife saw them ap proaching and detern1ined if possible to save their own lives and the lives of their children. They imn1ediately placed themselves against the door, which ·was so narrow that two could scarcely enter abreast. The lndians rushed against it, but finding that it could not easily be opened, one of them placed his back against it and others pushed against him. Their strength was greater than th$1.t of the besieged, and l\fr. Swan, being rather a tin1id ma!1, almost despair~d of sa,·ing himself and family and told his wife he thought it ,vould be better to let them in, but this resolute and courageous woman had no such idea. The Indians now had suc ceeded partly in opening the door, and one of them '\Yas crowding himself in, with others pushing after. The heroic ,vife saw there was no time for parleying; she seized ·her -bake spit, "·hich was nearly three feet in length and a deadly weapon in the hands of the ·wornan, as it proved, and collecting all the strength she pos sessed, drove it through the body of the foremost Indian. Thi~ reception being too warm for the_ intruders, they retreated." Another story has come down to this generation about the ingenuity of Susanna Swan when her husband was off to the Indian Wars. It is clain1ed that she w·ould hang balls of carpet rags in the upper windows of her home and have the children keep them moving w·hile she would beat a drum do·wnstairs and the Indians would think John Swan and nun1~rous others were in the house, aud so pass them by unmolested .

Swan of Stephe11town, cooper. This sale was con summated and record of satne n1ay be seen in tiber 88, page 283 of Deeds, at 'troy, N. Y. The following references regarding the life of Alden Smith Swan are t~ken from the daily New York pape~s published at the time of his death: Alden 8. Swan, for many years past one of the most promi nent figures in the business, social, civic and political life of Brook lyn and l\1anhattan, died suddenly at his residence, 189 Columbia 1teights, Brooklyn, N. Y., fro1n an acute attack of the stomach trouble from ,vhich he had suffered for several years. Only a ~eek ago he was able to be a guest of honor at a banquet of the Oil 'trades Association of New York, at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, and made an address in which he recounted many of his experiences in the oil industry and as a public official. At that time he said that of all the men with whom he was associated in the building oi the llrooklyn Bridge, he was the last survivor. ~!r. Swan came to New York when fifteen years old and continued his education in the College of the City of N cw York, which he left without gradu ation to enter business in the leather district known as "~.fhe Swamp" in l\1anhattan. During his apprenticeship there he beca1ne one of the best kno"·n oarsmen in the city and he took part in nearly all the regattas on the Hudson River and in other waters near New York. He held the single scull championship for nine years and with his mate held the double-scull championship, holding these honors for the .Atalanta Boat Club, which was the oldest rowing organization in the country, having been established in 1848, and of which he was a leading n1ernber. In his last rowing match, in the National Regatta of 187~, with a mate who weighed only one hundred pounds, l\Ir. Swan. bested all con1crs. He was sn1all of stature, _but made up for his lack of weight by phenornenal pluck and endurance, factors which were also of the greatest value in his later business career. In his younger days he ""as an expert ,vith the rifle and in the individual international n1id-range match at Creedn1oor in 1876, which was open to the world, he secured the tw·elf th prize. Ile was an accomplished yachtsn1an and maintained a crack yacht at Islip, L. I., where he had a handsome sun1mer residence. He "·as Con1- modore of the old Great South Bay Yacht Club and a mc1nber of the Riding and DriYing Club of Brooklyn, the Germania, the :Excel sior, the Crescent Athletic, the Brooklyn and Hamilton Clubs. He started in business for himself in .. A.ugust, 1861, and his popularity with the tanners and curriers insured him success fron1. the start. In 188~ he took as his associate Charles X. Finch and formed the finn of Swan & Finch.

J., and the company was incorporated in 1907 under the present name of Alden S. Swan & Co. lir. Swan has been a resident of 13:rooklyn for more than thirty-five years and for more than twenty years has lived in the First Ward, in a handsome residence on Colutnbia lteights. lte always took an active part in politics. lte was an ardent Demo c:ra t and was for ten years president of the First ,vard nemocratic Association. lte was appointed 'tax Collector of the old City of l3rooklyn by l!ayor naniel C.

His name is on the bronze tablet on the bridge and he was the possessor of a life pass to go over on its trains. l\fr. Swan was at the time of his death president, treasurer and a director of Alden S.

He was a member of the New York Produce Exchange and the New York Consolidated Stock Exchange. He was buried in Greenwood Cemetery following funeral ser vices in the Church of the Holy Trinity, where prominent men and women gathered to pay their last tribute to him. ·who durin_g his seventy-eight years of life had accomplished big things in the busi ness, charitable and social world. ALDEN S. S\VAN. I Even in the enjoyment of Brooklyn's tremendous present there are many who cannot repress a sigh for the passing of that rich and deep-toned Brooklyn life of which Alden S. Swan was a leader and an exemplar. It was a rounded, a complete life.

They called him in these latter years "the father of the oil business," because he was one of the few survivors of the big men in that wonderful trade . before the days of the Standard Oil; one of the oil kings who were before Agamemnon. His energy manifested itself in the social and political life of his con1n1unity. lie was active succ~ssively in the l3rooklyn Club, the ltamilton Club, and the Crescent Athletic Club, in which he was proud of his title as a member of "the first one hundred." A Democrat from his youth, he -early recognized the leadership that was in Hugh ~lcLaughlin, and ~1cLaughlin ahvays regarded hhn as one of his ablest advisers. He was a member ot the County Committee from the First ,v ard in the days of Ted Donovan's leadership and ,vhile 1\1cLaughlin retained his power he never lost interest in the affairs of the organization. He early dis played a keen and beneficial interest in all projects of public better ment, and ""hen the Brooklyn Bridge project took forn1 he was selected as a colleague of J an1es S. T. Stranahan, "Brooklyn's First Citizen," on the original commission: He often referred to the fact recently that he was the only survivor of the men "·ho built the great bridge. Later, he "·as Tax Commissioner of the old City of Brooklyn, under Jiayors Chapin and Boody. The end of Brooklyn as a city marked his retirement from public affairs, and thercaf ter he devoted himself to his private business and his clubs. lic was . a most familiar figure in the Brooklyn Club house, in Pierrepont - Street, where his friends of later times will recall him as one of the cheeriest of philosophers and the best of story tellers. His wit, his shrewd appraisals of life, his rich syn1pathy and con1prehensive understanding gave him a peculiar character among those who found joy for the spirit under the club house roof, and the cirr.l,~ in which he sat ,vas always a flashing circle. His death ends a lif~ rich in experience and service, and the tho~ght of hin1 in the hearts of friends is a living n1e1norial, as the mighty swing abo,·e the meet ing tides is an enduring· monument.

Y., July 23, 1863, and died there July 25, 1912, son of John and 1tarriet ( l3alsdon) Gibb. ln October, 1917, receiving· a ,~ery urgent letter from lirs. \\1illiam C. l3eecher, representing the National League for Woman's Service, :lirooklyn nivision, l\1rs. \Valter Gibb accepted the arduous task of reconstructing the Kings County branch of the League, which had been organized the previous spring. 'l'hus called to the colors, 11rs. Gibb became the official Chair man, and with unusual vision and courage, possibly an inheritance from her forbears, she set about her task ,vith a conscientious regard for what she considered her supreme duty, and with an enthusiasm that ne,:rer deserted her throughout the years she governed the thou sands of ,~omen who were members of her vast army. Wisely, tactfully, with divine intuition she appointed her "Cabi net," so to speak, from her circle of friends whose sincerity and loyalty had been tested through long years of friendship, and they in tum were glad to rally, not alone to he-r aid, but to the flag of their country, anxious to do their part under such wise guidance. l\lrs. Gibb studied the manual of the organization as laid out by the National Board in Washington, and was in constant con sultation ,vith both National and City Board in New York City. Following closely the plan as outlined, departments were formed, and rapidly commenced to function, for f1·om hour to hour the need became greater and greater. '!"'here were nine in number, namely: Agriculture, Canteen; liotor Corps, General Service, Home and Overseas, Convalescent, Office and House l\1anagement, Home Eco nomics, Social and ,,relfare. To these, later, as the splendid ·work expanded, were added the League Shop and Tea Room, these pro viding the funds to "carry on" Homes for Convalescents, Clubs and Hospital work among the ex-service men, Nutritional Restau ran~s for undernourished children of the poor, Club work in squalid districts, and lastly the receiving of the foreign born seeking citizen ship in the U. S. courts. The several Chairmen worked untiringly and in great harmony, but in justice to l\Irs. Gibb, who controlied all these departments with the wisdom of Solomon and ,vithout whose wise guidance- the work would never, could never have been accomplished, the list of gigantic tasks as ,·isioned by her, and accomplished through her, must be recorded here as an everlasting memorial to Florence A. Gibb. '£he Agricultural Department established a colony of young girls as "farmerettes," replacing the n1en for service, on the farn1s . 14 SwAN-F'AttwELL GmiEAtoGY of 1.ong lsland. They enjoyed a lovely home, properly chaperoned hy an efBcient "1touse liother." The enterprise was very success ful as well as profitable. '!'he Canteen had a membership of over two thousand, and ran thirteen Canteens, covering the ground from Coney lsland to the Navy Yard. They ,vere first at the l\iorgan, N. J., disaster, re tnaining there two weeks, distributing food night and day to the homeless refugees and to the National Guard. 'l'hey were requisitioned many times by the ·Government to meet the incoming hospital ships, t.hey manned the armories to welcome homecoming soldiers, they were to be seen at fires, epidemics, enter tainments; in fact were on call for any duty and for any organiza tion needing their help. They could be reached night or day. The Canteens fed thousands and thousands of men and were run at top speed all through the war. · The l\io_tor Corps, like the Canteen, ser,,ed a twenty-four hour duty. They were sent by the Government on secret missions. Hos pitals claimed much of their time. They were hours on the docks carrying wounded men from ships to hospitals. The l\1organ dis aster claimed their services for several weeks. Also the terrible accident at the l\'1albone Street (Flatbush) cut in Brooklyn. The Influenza epidemic left them no time for rest, for they never refused a call to carry the ill to the hospitals. They responded to all de mands from the Navy Yard, carrying the officers on their official duties. They assisted the Red Cross. From the Fox Hills Hos pital they conveyed the disabled men back and forth to and from the clinics in N e,v York. 'l"'hey carried ·the cripples, the dying, the insane--they carried theater parties of wounded men to enjoy an evening of pleasure, and, finally, when the urgent appeal came to help the little children, also crippled, with great humanity they carried them back and forth from their homes to the clinics, and so saved many a little sufferer. There is no space to tell in detail of their work, it was limitless-unrecorded-magnificent. The word General Service explains itself. It ·was a service for all, to all. Flowers for the sick, books, writing of letters home for those who were unable to hold a pen. They provided Secretaries to do clerical work for different organizations. They spent hours and hours with the Draft Board. Collected books for the home clubs and for overseas, the l\fl'tal-rnart fell to their share of the work. Several of the Liberty Bond booths were run by these effi cient women. They organized clubs and street entcrtain1ncnts; in one ,vord any and every odd joh that no one else wanted to do was gladly undertaken by the General Scr\·ice. The Honie and Overseas went quietly about its way making r:·:.~ \,_!, ·· ..... ,. ·=- ,A---·· -e ~· -.. .MEDAL PRES.CSTED BY- THE FREX"Cl-I REPT:BLIC TO FLORENCE ALTHEA (SW.\X) GIBB (Page 17) SwAN-FA.itwm.t Gt.~:tAtooY 15 thousands of garments. A C9.se a'week was their tnotto, and a- case a week ,vent out from their workroom at the league iteadquarters filled with the most necessary garments for stricken France and :helgium. 'there were sweaters, socks, scarfs, gloves, and caps for the boys "oYer there," and with it all, no call from the needy at home was ever turned down. A brave, efficient, capable hand of women who ran those sewing machines to their. full capacity. 'l'he Social and ,,r elf are department formed units ol carefully selected girls to entertain the men at clubs and dances. 'these units were chaperoned by fine women of discrimination ""ho brought then1 back and forth from the various clubs. ltundreds and hundreds of girls enrolled in this department, and it was not all fun, for they had to take their turn checking coat~, teaching dancing, at all times ready to dance with the uninteresting as well as the interest ing. The department supplied entertainers, elocutionists, musicians, manned information booths through Brooklyn, and when the war ended assisted in the Courts welcoming the foreign born who sought citizenship in the states, and presenting each with an American flag of silk. One of ~!rs. Gibb's finest pieces of work, if there could have been any of a superlative degree, was the founding and directing of three convalescent homes for our ex-service men, incapacitated through war. The homes were on Clinton Ave., Bay Ridge, and the last one was in the Gibb's family home on Gates Ave., Brooklyn. Homesick, ill unto death, discouraged, the boys sent by the ,var Risk Bureau, found in these hon1es a heavenly refuge, which they will ·ueYer forget, and forever bless the name of the National League for \Voman's service, as well as ":\Irs. Gibbs," by which name they called her. ,vhen the doors were finally closed, this department, grown so efficient in their work among the boys, took up Hospital Visiting, and soon found that they "·ere welcomed heartily by eight of these institutions, bringing comfort to the men, who very soon learned to look for the women of the League, the women who were instru- ◄ mental in providing dances, Chrisbnas parties, goodies and smokes, and best of a11 the cheer they so much needed. The Home Econon1ic Dcpartn1ent found the1nselvcs a busy com mittee, teaching chisses of w·on1en, conservation of food ,\·ith their nutritional values, canning and preserving, econon1ical buying and substitutes. Lectures were given in different parts of Kings County on domestic science. _.\.t Fort Ha1nilton, the cooks received instruc tion f ron1 trained 111c1nbers of this dcpartn1cnt. "Office and I-IonH-~ ::\Ianagcrncnt" sounds rather dull and lacking in interest, but it was far fro1n that, the chair1nan seeming to hold 16 SwAN-F AllWEtt G:tNlllWGY a charmed wand, and, presto! from a shabby,· sotneiitnes a repellent . room or house, it became an attractive abode that itn-ited one h\'".. its cozy, homelike comfort. And so with the office, combining the businesslike necessities with a certain air that only some women can bestow. All the Clubs for boys, such as the rooms for the n1en on the sub-chasers, the huts of the Y. li. C. A., Officers Clubs, and the League's own spacious lteadquarters, were under the charge of this department, and were at all times a credit to them as well as to l\1rs. Gibb. "Then the ,var closed, the army of women thought that they would automatically receive their discharge papers, but ~!rs. Gibb found that to disband such a splendid a1·my, still in fighting trim, would be a disaster, particularly as the reconstruction period called for as much patriotism as during the previous exciting events. The League shop was still functioning, and it was necessary to carry that on, for the funds had to be supplemented. The shop wa~ manned by members of the League, and the stock largely sup plied by then1. It was a God-send to n1any, for the clothing that was sent in to be sold for the benefit of the several activities was of very good n1aterial and in excellent. condition, and everything was sold from needles to pictures, housefurnishings, n1illinery, books, china and jewelry. l\Ien's clothing was sold exclusively to ex-service men, while the attractive tea roo1n turned over many a dollar to the Treasurer. And now another demanding cry was heard throughout the land. The little children of the poor! Undernourished and underfed, for war prices had been aln1ost prohibitive and continued so, ~Irs. Gibb appointing a very conscientious and efficient chairman to work ,nth her, established a trial restaurant, supervised by a physician inter ested in the physical uplift of .these poor little waifs. From the very start it was a success, and it was demonstrated beyond doubt the enor1nous value of such work. Rapidly the word went forth, and many noted men and won1en came to see for them selves the method that was bringing the I .. eague such renown. Three restaurants f ollo,ved, each as perfect as the first, and now the gov ernment in the public schools haYe con1n1itted themselves to the tak ing over of this much needed actiYity. This conservative record is but a birdseve., view of facts. There is no room to go into details. In 1ucasure it can be said that with her keen outlook on the situation as it unrolled before her, ~Irs. Gibb never allowed an opportunity to pass where the League could be of service. l\Te are told that a n1an is born for the hour of need; here was a woman born for that fateful hour, an ;'-... __ r / ~.,:y.,;•s:~-_. ..ALTHEA (Grnn) EI.DREDGE AXD C1111.nREX (Page 20) SwAN-FAttwEtt GENl:AtooY 17 • • laced her problems, saying, as did our great Pershing, "lafayeite, we are here."

Gibb said to-day that she will accept the medal, not for herself but in behalf of the whole organization and as chairman of the league. Senator Calder is expected to preside at the presenta tion and ·about fifty invited guests will be present. '!'he l3rooklyn branch of the League was organized· on l\iarch 30, 1917, less than a month after a state of war was declared be tween the United States and GcrmanJ. During the period of the war and for some time after the League me1nbers, among who1n ,,·ere included son1e of Brooklyn's n1ost pron1inent society ,von1en, carried on in Yarious ways. An active commissariat division was opened, which did canteen work of various kinds, distributing sandwiches and coffee to the soldiers en route at the railroad stations, bringing wholesome food to ,vorkers in munition factories and co-operating with similar bodies in other parts ~f the country. UNIFORMED ~10TOR CORPS There ,vas a motor corps "·ith a uniforn1ed force of sixty and an auxiliary list of as many ,·d10 were ready to lend their motor cars for extra service. Entertainn1ent was furnished soldiers and sailors stationed in Brooklyn and vicinitJ. Knitted and other articles were prepared and sent abroad to the hospitals in France ·and to the soldiers t}iere. The· League aided in the Liberty Loan drives and after the signing of the Arn1istice acted as hosts to thousands of lonely sol diers and sailors te1nporarily stranded here on their way hon1e son1e where in the interior. ..A.s the wounded and disabled began to come back here, the League also took up the work of assisting the ex service n1en in the hospitals. LEAGUE SHOP A FACTOR IN ,YORK One of the League's projects in the bo1·ough ·was the League Shop, opened al Lafayettc A venue and Fort Greene Place, ,\·here 18 s,vAN-FAtt~ GENEALOGY clothing was sold at cost to ex-service men and other articles to women. So grateful were the sailors stationed at Bay Ridge for the work done by the teague that the 1.eague's officers were inYited early in December, 1918, to review a parade of 2,000 of them-the first review known to the Navy in which won1en were the reviewing officers. l\irs. Walter Gibb was to-day, hec. 26, 1922, decorated with the l\:tedaille d'ltonneur of the French llepublic in recognition of her work as chairn1an of the National League for Wotnan's Ser vice, Kings County nivision, during the World \Var. 'l'he medal was pinned on l\1rs. Gibb by Gaston tieberf, French consul general at New York City, at a luncheon given in her honor by Senator William l\1. Calder at the Hamilton Club this afternoon. ln accepting the medal ~!rs. Gibb made it understood that she was receiving it, not for herself but in behalf of the whole organi zation. The presentation was made in the presence of about 100 guests, numbering among them many leadet·s of social, civic and political life in the borough. Senator Calder presided as toastmaster and host. S01\IE OF THE TmNGS l\IRS. GIBB DID Throughout the war and well into the reconstruction period the Kings County Committee of the National League for ,\7oman's Service was on the job twenty-four hours of the day under the untiring and zealous leadership of l\Irs. Gibb. Thirteen canteens · and clubs for service n1en ,vere organized and maintained; French classes were fonned for the overseas n1cn,~ French documents were translated, more than a dozen French orphans were adopted, 15,176 garments were sent overseas in one year. The Kings County League canteen and n1otor corps were the first at l\lorgan, N. J., at the time of the great powder explosion disaster; they were among the first at the docks when shiploads of wounded service men came in, and first at the mines during the suffering due to the coal strikes. The Agricultural Division organized units of farmerettes to release farm hands for the army by assuming their places. The General Service Division raised thousands of dollars for the Red Cross and served the Shipping, Census and Dra~t Boards. They cared for 3000 wounded and sick in their convalescent homes. Throughout this arduous work ~lrs. Gibb upheld the reputation of being one of the hardest workers and being in the center of activity, never asking one of he-r subordinates and co-workers to do a job she could not or would not tackle herself. As Senator ,villiam :\I.

Walter Gibb as chairman of the Kings County division of the N ationa1 League for ,voman's Service by 1\!ons. Gaston Liebert, French Consul General of New York, at the Hamilton Club yesterday after noon at a luncheon given by Senator William li. Calder, which was attended by about a hundred guests, including the tnost prominent of the borough's social, civic, professional and political circles. Consul General Liebert electrified the gathering when in ma1dng an impassioned plea for American sympathy with France in her present troubles he intimated that his Government was likely at any moment to renew hostilities with Germany in order to force the latter to tnake proper reparation. . "We·-have got to get something out of Germany," he ·said. "ll France takes. certain steps toward Germany in the near future you must not be surprised. France will not be bankrupt." ln making the presentation on behalf of the French Government, · lions. Liebert paid high tribute to lirs. Gibb and the League and to Senator Calder for having called to the attention of the French Ambassador at Washington the work of the League. He said: "From the very start of hostilities abroad you understood who was on the right side and who was on the wrong side of the fence. Your hearts and minds immediately responded. It was a w~nder ful thing and will link the hearts of the two nations for all time. Those of you who are of good old American stock understood the sitria tion from the beginning. Some people say that France is not fully appreciative of all this that you have done. FRANCE II.AS SPENT HUGE SUM "Despite the fact that the Germans have not paid a single cent of their debt to us, France has spent more tha~ 100,000,000 francs from its own pocket ,vithout bo1·rowing a cent toward the rehabili tation of the devastated sections. We are expecting patiently that Germany will be kind enough to pay a little of the reparation which France has already cut to 52 per cent of her original de mands. "It is for the intelligent people, especially the people of influ ence, to spread this ,vord._ The ignorant masses are subject to certain hostile propaganda. France needs America's sympathy now as she never needed it before." . In pinning the n1edal upon 1\:1 rs. Gibb, l\I. Liebert asked that the women of the League consider that they were sharing the honor of the presentation with l\Irs. Gibb. Senator Calder, who presided as host and toastmaster, said:· "Of 20 all the agencies which perlormed service during the war none 1\·ere as fine as the National league for Woman's Service." l\'iiss l\!innie 13. Geary outlined the history and accomplishments of .the League immediately preceding the presentation ceremonies. l\irs. Gibb, in replying and accepting the French medal, said: TlltBtrTE TO \VOMEN "l cannot accept this praise for myself, but l feel that the faith• ful and devoted won1en of the National League for Won1an's Ser ,·ice, l{ings County Comn1ittce, deserve all that has been said and more, for no one knows better than l their untiring energy, the sacrifices they made and the joy they brought to the boys, both here and in France, and the happiness they feel now at this honor paid our organization. "This is the proudest n1omeut of my _life. To be recognized by our beloved France, to be told we have succeeded in helping France and our own boys during those dreadful times, seems happiness enough, but to have visible proof of our success is more than we expected. "To receive this medal fills 1ny heart with pride and thanks giving. Pride that I was chosen to represent such a body of women, ""ho have never failed; who have made the National League what it is, and who are still working to alleviate the suffering of humanity. Pride, that for five years "·e have ,vorked in unison and accord, ""ithout exception, as one unit. Thanksgiving, that they have n1ade it possible that I, as their chairman, shall accept this dear ·medal fron1 France ·with gratitude and hun1ility. "l\fons. Liebert, I hope France's X cw Year will be a happy one, and that you will extend to her the thanks of the National League for lV01nan's Service and 111ine." The only other speaker at the luncheon, ex-Chief Justice .....\.lmet F. Jenks, also paid high tribute to the won1en who aided in the ,,r orld ,,r ar. 1-Ie said: "\Von1an ·proved herself equal to the occa sion.

'tradition about their journey to Stonington, as given in the Eastman Gene alogy, is as follows: ,¥illiatn, the youngest child, was a sturdy boy, and Susanna, wearied with 1nuch work and carrying him in her arms, deposited the sleeping boy in an en1pty tub in the cellar-way, telling her hus band it must be put on the load of goods, while she, "'·ith Ruth behind her on the horse, "·ent awhile on the journey towards Ston ington. John, the eldest, ran by the ox team. After a few miles Susanna called to the husband to give her the boy, when, lo and behold! he had forgotton to put the tub on the load. The curtain lecture she delivered can be heard to-day by all their descendants. See Swan. References: Eastman Genealogy: History of Stonington, Ct. ELITHORP Thomas Elithorp m.

'the other party, with l\iary, Jonathan and Joseph, went to Canada, where the children were sold to the French. l\1arv.. was redeemed with one hundred pounds of tobacco, .carried there on a hand sled, but Jonathan 8.nd Joseph never returned. .A. deed of 1731 tells of them as still in Canada, and in the Canadian Expe dition of 1757 the Haynes boys from ltaverhill were granted leaYe to search for their brothers up there and found them. They had lost their mother tongue completely and could converse only in French. One of them inquired about his sister, who had had one of her fingers cut off accidentally by a boy a short time before they were captured, thus completely identifying them. Neither of them could be persuaded to return to their people, thus showing how important environment is to the future of the young. The father and the son Thomas, after their arrival in llaine as prisoners, soon saw an opportunity to escape, and after traYel ing two or three days with scarcely anything to satisfy their crav ing appetites, the old man sat down exhausted. Finding his efforts to encourage his father of no avail, the son started on"·ard and soon after coming to the top of the hill he climbed a tall tree to see if he could distinguish any sign of civilization, but no such joyful sight was his. After the first bitter grief of disappointn1ent had passed and while he still hesitated which course to take, his quick ear caught the f ami}jar sound of a saw mill, and with a gladden ea heart he followed the ·sound, and soon found himself at the settlement of Saco, l\Ie. His story was soon told,· and "rith ample assistance and a bottle of milk he hastened back to his father, whom he found as he had left him, laid down to die, without the hope or expectation of ever looking again upon the face of relative or friend. The milk and the g_ood news revived him, and they reached Saco, "·here they remajned until he had sufficient strength to resume the journey t~ Haverhill, which place they reached without further difficulty. On Feb. ~~, 1698, the father was killed in Haverhill by the Indians, and his son Thon1as was again taken prisoner, and when he ·was redeemed a year later the Indian Chief gave him his best. cane as a token of respect for his good behavior. The cane is about three and one-half feet in length, the top being round and the rest of the cane eight-sided. Each side is ornan1entcd with figures, sonic diamond shaped, others square or diagonal, all neatly cut with a ·penknife, and in 1861 this cane "·as owned by Guy C. Haynes of East Boston. 122 Jonathan itaynes, on the morning of Feb. 22, •1698, living in the western part of 1taverhi11, had started out with a yoke of oxen and a horse, and with his son Thomas and a neighbor, expected to bring home a load of hay, which had been cut and stacked the pre ceding summer in their meadows. \Vhile they were slowly returning they suddenly found themselves between two files of lndians, seven on a side. Seeing that it was impossible to escape, they begged for "quarter." Young tadd, the son of the neighbor, was quick enough of thought to cut his father's horse loose, and, giving him the lash, he started off at full speed, and though repeatedly fired at, suc ceeded in reaching his home, and was thus the means of giving an immediate alarm, and tradition states that the horse rushed against his master's door and fell dead on the threshold. Two of the lndians, after the boy had fled, stepped behind the fathers and dealt them a heavy blow and Jonathan Haynes expired instantly. They then started north with their young prisoners, but Thomas was redeetned as above stated. Jonathan Haynes married in Newbury, Jan. l, 1674, l\fary l\ioulton, who died shortly after. He married second at Hampton, N. H., 30th of 10th month, 1674, her sister Sarah, born there Dec. 17, 1656, da~ghter of William l\1oulton. 2 RUTH HAYNES, daughter of Jonathan and Sarah (~ioulton) Haynes, was born in Haverhill, l\Iass., Feb. 7, 1691/2, and became the ~~ife in 1711 of John Corliss, Jr. See Corliss.

In •1642 he was one of the Selectmen of that place and in 1655 he was appointed by the pastor of the church and the Selectn1en of the town "to see to the restraining of youth on the Lord's day." :H:e signed the petition for the l!arlboro' Plantation and according to tradition he was the first white man to settle on it. :H:e went to l\iarlboro' before 1656 and built a cabin a little to the east of the lndian Planting Field, where his descendants lived for many years. His place was situated about one hundred rods from Spring liill l\!eeting House, a little to the east of the present road from Spring Hill to Feltonville, and it was occupied in the l860's by Edward Rice. His proximity to the Indian Plantation brought him in direct contact with the natives, and by his kindness he gained their confidence and good will, and they frequently tnade him umpire in cases of difficulty among themselves. In a case where a pumpkin vine sprang up within the premises of one Indian and the fruit ripened upon the premises of another the dispute which arose be tween them as to its ownership was referred to him. He called for a knife and served the fruit, giYing a moiety to each, showing such wisdom that the Indians considered it the perfection of justice, and his reputation for impartiality was firmly established.

In 1639 they were residing in llampton, N. II., and his grant. of land is now just south of the l\Ieeting House green.

He was also 1\{arshal of the old County of Norfolk in which Hampton was then included, and he was granted the privilege by a vote of the town, of building the first saw mill, which he l\9as required to do within a year, but by reason of his being engaged in building the parsonage the time was extended to two years, which shows that he was by trade a master carpenter. ln 1659 when seventy-six persons were taxed, his taxes were the highest and amounted to one-twentieth of the whole sum. In the seating of the members of the church the front seat was considered the most honorable place and this seat was occupied by him, as he was Deacon in 1660 and until his death, and from the death of his colleague in 1671 he was the only neacon of the church and was succeeded by his son Francis. 2 liARGARET PAGE, daughter of Robert and Lucy Page, was born in England about 1629 and married ,villiam l\foulton in 1651.

( See No. 11 of 12th Lineage.) NOTE.-De ~eville. Hornby Castle, centuries ago, had attracted the eye of the Roman soldier, and coins and tessallated pavements discovered in various alterations of the castle proYe that the value of its site as a strategic position was fully recognized then. At Dome.sda~·. Surrey, Hornby was classed with l\Ialling, \Yennigetun as one. l\fanor, in which rif held nine carucates of land and when the conqueror came was held by Aleric who5e grandson Adam, son of Swain had two daughters, ~laud and Annabel. 1\Iaud married Adam de )Iontbegon and the land of Hornby descended to Roger de l\Iontbegon, his grandson who died in 1225. In 1226 it passed to a collateral relative, IJenry de )Iontbegon, who in 1226 conveyed the l\Ianor of Hornby and the castle to Hubert de Burgh, Chief Justice of England, and the Chamberlain of Shakespeare·s King John.

(See Vol. 41, Historic Society Lancaster and Cheshire.) NOTE-Raby Castle owes its splendor to John de Neville, Earl of ,Yestmoreland, \\·ho in 1379 obtained leave to make a castle of his ~Ianor of Raby and to embattle and castellate its towers. It is situated in the County of Durham about six miles from Barnard Castle on the east side of an extensive park. It has a very imposing effect and a striking idea of the magnificence of the feudal ages may be formed from its extent, grandeur and well. preserYed state. Its foundation is a rocky eminence and it is environed with an embrazured wall and parapet, enclosing about two acres. The Nevilles do not appear to have been the first occupants here as some competent to judge conjecture. It is even said to date as far back as the time of Canute. The interior is divided into numerous apartments. The eutrancc hall is uncommonly grand; its vastness never failing to strike the beholder with admiration. The roof is arched and supported on six pillars with capitals. Here visitors leave their carriages, which arc admitted into the Hall and afterwards pass off on the opposite sicle, through the inner area and covered way. At one end is a flight of steps leading into the Presence Chamber, 1 l\lusic Uoom, Billiard Room> etc. Ow~r the hall is another spacious apartment, 90 feet in length, 36 feet in height and 34 feet in breadth. This was the room wlu.-re the ancient baronial festivals were celebrated and seven hundred knights, who held of the Nevilles, are recorded to have been entertained here at one time. The wails are of great solidity and strength. A description of tL.e kitchen and oven would require more space than we can here ~110\~. The latter has been converted into a wine cellar the sides being divided into ten Flrts, each holding a hogshead of wine in bottles. One of the terraces is upwards of ~~50 feet in length. This seat continued to be the :residence of the .Nevilles until the reign of 177 Elizaheth when Charles. the sixth·and l~t tart of Westm~re1and of that family. engaged in a weak conspiracy to dethrone his soYereign. 1te died in exile in 1584 and the estate reverted to the Crol\-n. James l, offered the property for sale and thus R.aby became the property of Sir ilenry Vane the elder. (New :England ilistoric Register, Vol 11. pp. 1i4, 125 for 1848). . .
