ALBERT CRANE.

Contributed by Rufus King.

Albert Crane, A.B., LL.B., a Life Member of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, died at his home, Rock- Acre, Strawberry Hill, Stamford, Conn., September 21, 1918, after a long and severe illness which he endured with courage and resignation. Mr. Crane, born in New York City, December 30, 1842, the son of Thomas and Clarissa Lawrence (Starkey) Crane, was descended from a New England family of the name, whose founder was Henry Crane of Dorchester and Milton, Mass., born about 1621; he was a large landowner and evidently a man of education as indicated by documents in his handwriting found in the Massachusetts Archives as early as 1677; his first wife was Tabitha, the daughter of Elder Stephen Kinsley, a wealthy and prominent resident of Braintree, Mass. In this line Albert Crane descended through six generations of sturdy New Englanders. His first maternal ancestor in New England was John Starkey of Boston, born in England about 1638 and, according to tradition, related to a family of the name settled in Standish, County Lan- caster; the particulars of these lines of descent have already been published. Albert Crane's early education was received at the famous Mount Washington School, located on Macdougal Street, opposite Washington Square, in New York City. It was at this school that he and the writer formed a friendship which lasted for more than half a century. Mr. Crane matriculated at Tufts College, Medford, Mass., and was graduated in the Class of 1863; while there he joined the Zeta Psi Fraternity. Having decided on the law as a profession, he entered Colum- bia College Law School where he was graduated in 1866 and admitted to the New York Bar the same year. Later on he became a member of the American Bar Association, New York State Bar Association and The Association of the Bar of the City of New York. 2 Albert Crane. [Jan.

After a few years, however, he retired from active practice and sought the more congenial atmosphere of country life and foreign lands where he could gratify his love of literature and art. Mr. Crane was an energetic and appreciative traveler and had made considerably more than two score voyages across the Atlantic; his wanderings ranged from southern Europe and Africa to the rock-bound coast of Norway and Sweden. He was very fond of England (an ancestral inheritance perhaps) which he frequently visited; on one occasion he became a householder in London during the season, was presented at Court, joined the Thatched House Club on St. James Street, entertained liberally and enjoyed many opportunities of seeing English life from the inside. Mr. Crane was a lover of music, especially of the classical school, a Life Member of the New York Oratorio Society and a Director of the New York Symphony Society, where he became the warm personal friend of Theodore Thomas.

As indicating his enthusiasm for the art, it may be recorded that in 1876 he made a special trip to Bayreuth to attend the first performance of Richard Wagner's great music-drama "The Niebelungenlied " and again in 1882 for the first hearing of "Parsifal."

Mr. Crane married January 24, 1884, Ellen Mansfield, daughter of Colonel J. Mansfield and Martha M. (Brooks) Davies of Fishkill- on-Hudson. Mrs. Crane died January 5, 1893, and on February 10, 1902, Mr. Crane married Fanny, daughter of George Lyman and Elizabeth Neal (Ames) Starkey of Boston, who survives him. There were no children by either marriage. For many years Mr. Crane divided his time between his home in New York City and his country place at Stamford, but he finally disposed of the former and made Rock-Acre his home when he was not enjoying the diversion of residence abroad. Mr. Crane's benefactions were numerous. In 1882, he joined with the members of his family in erecting at Quincy, Mass., his father's birthplace, a beautiful memorial building known as the Thomas Crane Public Library, said to be one of Richardson's finest designs, and described by Charles Francis Adams at the dedication as: " In itself an education in art." In 1908, this building was enlarged and adjoining land purchased involving a total cost of about one hundred and forty thousand dollars. Later on, with a gift of one hundred thousand dollars, Mr. Crane endowed, at Tufts College, the Crane Theological School in recognition of his father's life long adherence to the Univer- salist faith. Stamford was also generously remembered by a fund which provided for the purchase of a site for Stamford Hospital. Mr. Crane had further contemplated a larger gift to Stamford in the shape of a public Park; a suitable tract of land in the residential section of the city was decided on and, it is stated 19 19>] Albert Crane, -^

that Mr. Crane authorized the purchase of the property, only to learn that it was not for sale; he was therefore, much to his disappointment and regret, compelled to abandon the project. Along with his interest in the company of his friends, Mr. Crane found no little pleasure in his affiliation with the numerous societies and clubs to which he belonged, and he retired from these activities only when obliged to do so by failing health. He was for many years a Life Member of the Society of Colonial Wars as a descendant of Major Simon Willard of Con- cord, Mass., who was member of the State Legislature in 1636, also of John Starkey of Boston. Mr. Crane, in 1893, joined the Sons of the Revolution as a great-grandson of Sergeant Joseph Crane of Col. Phinney's Battalion, 1775, and Private Daniel Lawrence, Col. Robinson's Regiment, Mass. Militia, 1776. Limit of space prevents anything more than mention of the following societies and clubs to which Mr. Crane belonged:—New England Historic Genealogical Society, Stamford Historical Society, Stamford Hospital Corporation, New York Historical Society, Blue Anchor Society, American Geographical Society, and Union Club of New York City since 1879. He was also for seven years (1863-1870) a member of the 22nd Regiment, New York State National Guard, in Captain Henry E. Howland's Company. Mr. Crane's will, dated November II, 1912, carried on the benevolent work begun during his life time. Mrs. Crane receives a substantial share of the estate including Rock-Acre. Among other beneficiaries are the Thomas Crane Public Lib- rary, The Chapin Home, Tufts College, Ferguson Library of Stamford, Second Universalist Church of Stamford, Stamford Children's Home, Stamford Day Nursery, Blue Anchor Society, and Belfast Free Library to establish the Albert Boyd Otis Fund for the purchase of books. There are also legacies to relatives and friends of the testator. Funeral services were held at Mr. Crane's home and though announced as private, a large number of friends and neighbors attended. Rev. Francis A. Grey, D.D., of Stamford Universalist Church made an impressive address followed by Rev. Lee S. McCollester, D.D., of the Crane Theological School, Rev. Dr. J. Smith Dodge pronounced the benediction. The honorary pall bearers were: Rev. Dr. J. Smith Dodge. Edward Holbrook, Dr. Charles E. Fay of Tufts College, Walton Ferguson, L. Bradford Prince, Daniel Seymour, Rufus King, George Welwood Murray, Homer S. Cummings, Gutzon Borglum, Harold Roberts, Dr. Raymond R. Gandy, Frederick C. Taylor and Dr. Samuel Pierson.

The interment was in the family plot in Greenwood Cemetery. Ar?ns and Crests for Americans. [Jan.

ARMS AND CRESTS FOR AMERICANS.

Report of Committee on Heraldry, Submitted by the Chairman, John Ross Delafield, A. M., LL. B., Colonel, C. A. C, N. Y. G., Major, U. S. Army.

As the United States has made no provision for the grant or registration of arms or crests, it is of interest to note under what circumstances Americans may bear them, and even sometimes acquire them. The great majority of our people are descended in the male line from ancestors who lived in Great Britain or Ireland, making the treatment of this subject as it relates to these countries the more important; and this report is limited accordingly. That many of our ancestors in the Colonial days of America bore arms is well established, and was so firmly rooted and recognized that the separation from the old country and the formation of the Republic did not do away with the practice, but recognized and tacitly confirmed it. The new country adopted the arms of the Washington family, with its stars and stripes, as the basis of the flag we love so well. And the new State of New Jersey for a time officially used as its seal the arms of the Livingston family, because of William Livingston, the famous war governor of that State. The use of arms by those entitled to bear them has not since diminished in favour in this country. Indeed the custom has grown to be so popular that many persons who are not members of armigerous families have assumed and used arms, and by doing so unintelligently tend to bring the custom into disrepute. Why the United States Government has failed to recognize officially and systematize the use of family names and family marks, such as arms and crests, is not the subject of this article. It is, however, worthy of study and discussion, leading perhaps to legislation. Our Government is based on the family as its fundamental unit. The desire to have a mark for your family, as well as a name, is primeval ; very probably older than the use of family names. Arms are the marks generally used. Finding no regular mode of gratifying this instinct, many persons and families, who should have arms, have endeavored to satisfy it by assuming arms and crests. They have generally adopted the arms of some other family of the same name. By so doing, they have generally quite unwittingly followed the least desirable course, for the identity of arms will, in a generation or two, lead to the belief that they are related to the other family, an error which the exact methods of genealogical research will inevitably expose, to the mortification of the then living members of the family, and the dis- credit of the use of arms. Identity of family name does not indicate relationship. If you think of assuming arms, first make sure that you are not descended in the male line from some family entitled to bear arms. Then take great care to choose arms that are different :

igig.] Arms and Crests for Americans. c from any others, particularly from those borne by other families of the same name. You or some of your descendants may become, by some chance, British subjects, or the jurisdiction of the College of Arms may be extended to correspond with that of Ulster King of Arms. Then if you have used the above precautions, the arms can be confirmed. Otherwise there will have to be another change. The Americans, who can with entire confidence use arms, are those belonging in the male line to families recognized as armigerous in the countries of their origin, or those who can and do obtain grants of arms from the countries of their forefathers. The official agencies for the grant of arms, confirmation of arms, and registration and matriculation of pedigrees are : in England, the

College of Arms ; in Scotland, Lyon King of Arms ; in Ireland Ulster King of Arms. The jurisdiction of each is generally as follows The College of Arms, the Earl Marshall with the official heralds, are the authorities for grants of arms for all British subjects resident in England and in every other part of the British Empire excepting Scotland and Ireland, and excepting also British subjects of Scotch or Irish descent in the male line not resident in England. Such Colonials may, however, in their discretion apply to the Col- lege of Arms for grants of arms. Welshmen have no separate office of arms, and are on the same footing at the College of Arms as Englishmen. The Lord Lyon has jurisdiction for all Scotchmen and Colonials of Scottish descent in the male line, though a Colonial of Scottish descent may apply to the College of Arms for a grant. So also Ulster King has jurisdiction for all Irishmen and Colonials of Irish descent in the male line, though these may apply to the College of Arms. Ulster has also the power to grant arms to persons of Irish descent in the male line who are not British subjects, an opportunity of which many Americans will, no doubt, in time take advantage.

It is a principle of heraldry that a family once armigerous is always armigerous. Hence a member of an armigerous family and his descendants in the male line, for no matter how many generations, may bear arms, no matter where he may live or of what nation he may be a citizen or subject. Furthermore, his pedigree and that of his descendants may be registered from time to time in the office of the official Herald of the land of his origin or in the College of Arms, and thus a record is kept showing his right to bear the family arms. In the office of the Lord Lyon, the registration takes on a special character, and is called matriculation. The reason for this is that, under the Scottish system, only the oldest descendant in the male line may use the simple arms ; all others must add special marks to show to which branch of the family he belonged. These marks are a combination system of the marks of cadency of the English and various forms of bordures, and are definitely assigned to each 6 Arms and Crests for Americans. [Jan.

individual at his registration or matriculation. The oldest son and the daughters, on their lozenges, use the same marks as their father; the other sons must matriculate. The marks of cadency for English and Irish are fixed and in both instances the same. However, their use is not compulsory, yet they have long been used in this country, as, for example, the arms shown on the book-plate and seal of the celebrated patriot, General Philip Schuyler of the War of the Revo- lution, who charged his shield with a crescent, indicating that he was the second son. Americans of English or Irish descent in the male line have sometimes been made armigerous through a confirmation of arms to their British ancestor. In England and Ireland, grants of confirmation are sometimes made on the application of a British subject whose family have actually and openly used arms for a number of generations. These confirmations relate back sometimes two generations, to the applicant's grandfather; seldom further back. In such case, all the descendants in the male line of that grandfather may bear the arms. In this connection, it may be well to state that the College of Arms and Official Heralds of England, Scotland and Ireland take the greatest care not to grant or confirm to any family the identical arms or crest borne by any other family, whether of the same or another name. It may not be amiss here to say that Holland has never had an official herald, and that arms were not there granted or recorded. As a result, there are many families of Holland origin which have borne arms for centuries, and yet can show no grant nor official recognition. The official Heralds of Great Britain and Ireland would, no doubt, confirm these arms to members of these families who became British subjects, and as quarterings to the descendants of British subjects who had married heiresses from these families. Registration in the College of Arms is not confined to British subjects. Many foreign pedigrees are registered there with proofs and evidences of the arms and crests borne and used. But such registrations are not to be confused with grants or confirmations of arms. Registration alone gives no sanction or authority for the use of the arms concerning which evidences are registered. The finding of arms for one's name, or even for one's proven ancestor, in an old edition of Burke's General Armory, or in Pap- worths' Ordinary, or in Matthew's American Armory and Blue Book, or in some other printed work, does not prove that one's family is armigerous. This fact can only be ascertained through an exact knowledge of one's pedigree for many generations back and a search made in the records of the official Heraldic Office of the country from which one's ancestor in the male line came.

Your Committee on Heraldry respectfully reports that it has not learned of any satisfactory mode by which Americans can be assisted in establishing armorial bearings other than as above outlined. Church Wawarsing. Records of the Reformed Dutch of i 9 , 9 .]

THE KIDD-GARDINER "CLOTH OF GOLD" AND " PITCHER."

By John R. Totten.

"Cloth of Gold."

It is a well authenticated fact that on or about June 27th, 1699, Captain William Kidd, of pirate fame, visited Gardiner's Island, 3 then in the possession of its 3rd proprietor, John Gardiner; and that, in exchange for certain supplies furnished him, Captain Kidd gave to John 3 Gardiner and his wife presents of cloth of various sorts, and placed in John 8 Gardiner's care, to be subsequently called for by Kidd, several bales and boxes containing gold, silver, jewels and cloth of various sorts. After the arrest of Captain Kidd, John 8 Gardiner reported to the government authorities the existence of this deposit, and subsequently turned it over to a government committee appointed to receive the same and took their formal receipt therefor. (See Lion Gardiner and His Descendants, pp. 97-101.) 3 Among the gifts presented to John Gardiner and his wife (t. e., his 1st wife, nee Mary King) was undoubtedly the "Cloth of Gold" (or "Kidd blanket") which on account of the incidents attached to its acquisition became an heirloom in the family; and this heirloom, by the varying influences of family history, has passed from the possession of those bearing the Gardiner name and is now in the possession of the heirs of the late Mrs. Joseph Hobson, of Washing- ton, D. C, which heirs are not of Gardiner blood in so far as I can ascertain. It has been a matter of interest to Gardiner descendants to conjecture by what succession of events this "cloth of gold" came into the hands of its present possessors ; and I will endeavor to set forth what seems to me the possible explanation, which is at least a likely one. The first recorded reference with which I am familiar relating to the "cloth of gold" is (as stated in Lion Gardiner and His Descendants, p. 98) to be found in Thompson's History of Long Island in a letter addressed to the author of that work by the ninth proprietor of Gardiner's Island, which letter is below quoted: "We have a small piece, a sample of cloth of gold, which my father received from Mrs. Wetmore,* mother of the wife of Captain Mather of New London. I send you extract from her letter giving an account of Captain Kidd's being on the island." Mrs. Wetmore's letter reads thus : "I remember, when very young, hearing my mother say that her grandmother was the wife of Lord Gardiner

* Mrs. Wetmore's maiden name was Elizabeth Christophers, of the well known family of New London, Ct., who, m. 1783, Ichabod Wetmore, b. 1754 of Middletown, Ct., for his 2nd wife, and their daughter Maria, b. 1786 m. 1810, Captain Andrew Mather of New London, whose son, John P. C. Mather was Mayor of New London in 1848. 8 : : : :

" 1 The Kidd- Gardiner Cloth of Gold" and "Pitcher." [Jan. when the pirate Kidd came to Gardiner's Island. The Captain wanted Mrs. Gardiner to roast him a pig. She being afraid to refuse

him, cooked it very nice, and he was much pleased with it ; he then made her a present of this silk, which she gave to her two daughters. Where the other went, whether it is in being; I know not; but this was handed down to me. It has been kept very nice, and I believe it is now as good as when first given, which must have been upwards of one hundred years." "I (Curtiss C. Gardiner) have a small particle of the 'cloth of gold' which was clipped from the remnant and presented to me by Mrs. Gardiner, widow of the seventh proprietor, at the Island, August 9th and ioth, 1855." From the above we see that there was a so-called "cloth of gold" and that apparently, according to Mrs. Wetmore's letter, it would seem that it originally was in two pieces or else was subsequently

divided in two parts ; one part of which finally came into the possession of Mrs. Wetmore, and one part apparently has since disappeared. At the time of Captin Kidd's visit to Gardiner's Island, June 27, 1699, John3 Gardiner's 1st wife, Mary (King) Gardiner, was living; and hence it was she who had the adventure with Captain Kidd and it was to her that the "cloth of gold" was originally given. Mary (King) Gardiner died July 4, 1707, leaving three daughters and four sons; and on her death some disposition was probably made of the "cloth of gold," or else, and which is more probable, considering its subsequent history, the heirloom still remained in the Gar- diner home on the Island. To make the matter clear I will here give the Gardiner line down to and including John 3 Gardiner, the 3rd proprietor

Daniel Osborne of East Hampton, L. I., N. Y.), b. ; d. May

19, 1747, aged 64, and was buried at East Hampton, N. Y. ; and by her John 3 Gardiner had no children. From a scrutiny of the above record of John 3 Gardiner, the 3rd proprietor of Gardiner's Island, and in possession thereof at the time of Captain Kidd's visit to said island, we see that his first wife, Mary King, was alive at the time of Kidd's visit and that it was to her that he gave the "cloth of gold." She died July 4, 1707, leaving a family of 7 children, the eldest of whom, David (b. Jan. 3, 1691), was only 17 years and 6 months old. It is presumable that the "cloth of gold" remained in the possession of John 3 Gardiner himself after his 1st wife's death. His 2nd wife, Sarah (Chandler-Coit) Gardi- 3 ner, died July 3, 171 1, leaving John Gardiner two more children by her. He then on July 13, 1712 (probably), married a 3rd time to Elizabeth (Allyn) Allen (a widow with one son, Fitz John Allen) and by her he had no children. His third wife found herself the mistress of a family of 9 step-children, 7 by John 3 Gardiner's first wife and 2 by his second wife, as well as mother of her own son, Fitz John Allen, by her first husband, which son of hers probably made his home with her on Gardiner's Island. The exact date of 3 her death is not known ; but as John Gardiner was distinctly a man of marrying disposition and in as much as he married a fourth time, Oct. 4, 1733, it is fair to presume, judging from his past history, that his third wife died not long previous to that date. She was probably his wife some 20 or 21 years, during which period all her step-children of the Gardiner name (except David4 Gardiner, the eldest son) attained their majority. Moreover her own blood son, Fitz John Allen, had during that period gained man's estate. She had no Gardiner blood herself and bore John 3 Gardiner no children so neither she nor her blood son, Fitz John Allen, had any right of blood inheritance to the "cloth of gold ;" and moreover her husband John 3 Gardiner survived her. If she became possessed of the "cloth of gold," it was because during her life it was given to her either by John 3 Gardiner or by one of his children, or perhaps she may simply have acquired it by having had it so long in her possession that such possession became in a measure a right of ownership. She 3 however was not the wife of John Gardiner to whom it was presented by Captain Kidd. Now let us look at the Christophers line in further explanation of why the "cloth of gold" is now in the hands of the heirs of Mrs. Joseph Hobson: 1 1.

line it will be Referring to generation No. 5 of this Christophers 5 married Ichabod Wetmore is seen that Elizabeth Christophers who quoted by the th proprietor the Mrs. Wetmore who wrote the letter 9 author of Thompson s His- of Gardiner's Island in his letter to the mother was Elizabeth Allen, tory of Long Island. Mrs. Wetmore's and her mothers daughter of Fitz John Allen of New Haven; Elizabeth (Allyn) grandmother (the mother of Fitz John Allen) was Allen of Windsor, Conn., Allen, whose first husband was Alexander 3 the third proprietor and whose second husband was John Gardiner, time of Captain Kidds of Gardiner's Island and its proprietor at being his third wife and visit to the Island on June 27, 1699 -she appears that the state- bv whom he had no children. It therefore grandmother was the ment of Mrs. Wetmore that her mother's 3 known as Lord of the wife of Lord Gardiner (John Gardiner being correct But it does Manor) of Gardiner's Island was absolutely "cloth of gold," as it will be no? account for her possession of the ;

2 2 The Kidd-Gardiner "Cloth of Gold" and "Pitcher." [Jan. seen by a scrutiny of the two lines of descent here given, Gardiner and Christophers, that Mrs. Wetmore had no Gardiner blood in her veins, and therefore the "cloth of gold" could not have come to her by blood inheritance. An explanation of how the "cloth of gold" came to be in the possession of Mrs. Wetmore would seem to be as follows, viz. : Mrs. Wetmore's great grandmother, Elizabeth (Allyn) Allen, became the third wife of John 3 Gardiner. At the time of her marriage to John 3 Gardiner she was a widow (of Alexander Allen) with one son, Fitz John Allen. She became the mistress of John 3 Gardiner's home and stepmother of his 9 living children, and her own son, Fitz John Allen, also undoubtedly lived there with her. She was the wife of John 3 Gardiner from 1712 to about 1733, some 21 3 years, during which time all of John Gardiner's children except 4 David , the eldest, reached majority and were married. During this period of 21 years it is more than probable that the "cloth of gold" was in the Gardiner home on Gardiner's Island and was probably 3 during that period either given to her by John Gardiner, or else it became hers by courtesy of having been for so many years its custo- dian. Her own son, Fitz John Allen, grew to man's estate on Gardi- ner's Island and on his marriage previous to Dec. 11, 1726 to Mary

Mansfield, he removed to New Haven ; and it is probable that either at his marriage or at his mother's death, he, Fitz John Allen, became the possessor of the "cloth of gold," or at least one-half of it, as it seems according to Mrs. Wetmore's letter to have been divided into two parts, one of which has disappeared. Fitz John Allen probably passed it on to his daughter Elizabeth Allen, who married Christo- 4 pher Christophers, and she in turn probably gave it to her daughter Elizabeth 5 Christophers, who became the wife of Ichabod Wetmore. The wife of Ichabod Wetmore in turn probably gave it to her daughter Elizabeth Wetmore, who in her turn married John Hinsdale and she at her death probably gave the "cloth of gold" to her daughter Sarah Wetmore Hinsdale. Sarah Wetmore Hinsdale married Elijah Huntington Kimball and had a daughter Elizabeth Christo- phers Kimball, to whom she gave the "cloth of gold." Elizabeth Christophers Kimball married Joseph Hobson and remained until her death in possession of this Gardiner family heirloom, when it became a part of her estate and will eventually become the possession of some one of her heirs. When this "cloth of gold" was first given to Mary (King) Gar- diner by Captain Kidd, outside of the romantic character of its donor, the gift probably had nothing about it to render it in the eyes of the Gardiner family of special importance ; and it was on account of this probable lack of veneration for it that it disappeared from the Gardiner family. The fortuitous circumstances of the care with 3 which it was preserved by John Gardiner's third wife (by whom he had no children) and her blood descendants, and the lapse of time together with history attendant upon its bestowal in the first instance, has in time elevated this "cloth of gold" to the rank of an honored heirloom of the Gardiner family, now strangely in the hands of those ,

igrg.] The Kidd-Gardiner "Cloth of Gold" and "Pitcher" 23 whose veins contain no Gardiner blood and moreover none of the blood of Mary (King) Gardiner to whom it was originally given. It is simply another instance (so frequently occurring) where valuable family relics become separated in possession from the family in whose custody they should properly be found. It would seem that owing to value which the lapse of time has bestowed upon this "cloth of gold," and also considering that it is now in the possession of those who have no blood interest therein, that it would be wise for this heirloom of the Gardiner family to be presented to the New York Historical Society for permanent preservation in its cabinets, together with a full history of the original bestowal and of the hands through which it passed before reaching such an appropriate resting place. Thus it would be preserved to posterity where all interested could at will look upon it.

Mrs. Wetmore in her quoted letter states that Captain Kidd gave "this silk" {%. e., the cloth of gold) to her mother's grandmother who gave it to her two daughters. In this part of her letter Mrs. Wetmore was evidently in error for the following reasons. In the first place as already shown Captain Kidd did not present the "cloth of gold" to Mrs. Wetmore's mother's grandmother (who was the 3 3 third wife of John Gardiner) ; he gave it to John Gardiner's first wife, Mary (King) Gardiner; and it came into the possession of Mrs. Wetmore's mother's grandmother because she in due course of events became John 3 Gardiner's third wife. Again Mrs. Wetmore's mother's grandmother had no two daughters to whom to give it. in fact she had no daughters at all, having but one son, Fitz John Allen (by her first husband). John 3 Gardiner by his first wife had 3 daughters and by his second wife he had 1 daughter, and by his third and fourth wives no children. Who then were the two daughters referred to by Mrs. Wetmore in her letter to whom were given the "cloth of gold" divided into two parts? It is probable that Mrs. Wetmore's statement in her letter, while founded on hearsay evidence, yet had the elements of accuracy embodied in it, although somewhat uncon- sciously distorted in her relation of the same. As John3 Gardiner had 4 daughters it is unlikely that two of them were selected on whom to bestow the divided "cloth of gold." Had a division been made between her daughters it is likely that if it were divided at all each one of the four would have been given a fourth portion thereof. My belief is that as stated above the "cloth of gold" became the possession of Fitz John Allen and he gave it to his daughter, Elizabeth Allen, in its undivided state. Elizabeth Allen married Christopher4 Christophers and by him had two daughters, one of whom, Elizabeth 6 Christophers, married, as above stated, Ichabod Wetmore, and a second daughter, Sarah3 Christophers, who married Henry Latimer. These were the two daughters referred to by Mrs. Wetmore in her letter. And the missing portion of the "cloth of gold," if it has not been destroyed by this time, may be found as a relic in the Latimer family. 24 The Kidd-Gardiner "Cloth of Gold" and "Pitcher." [Jan.

"Pitcher." When Captain Kidd gave the "Cloth of Gold " to Mary (King) Gardiner, he also gave her a stone-ware pitcher, filled with dried fruits, which in those early days were regarded as great delicacies. The pitcher itself is of dark brown color and has the peculiar exterior known as "ostrich egg finish." In the distribution of the estate of John 3 Gardiner, this pitcher became the property of his son (by his first wife Mary (King) Gardiner, to whom the pitcher was originally given), John 4 Gar- diner (see Gardiner line herebefore) who married Sarah Saltonstall and by her had a daughter, Jerusha 5 Gardiner, to whom the pitcher was given. 5 4 Jerusha Gardiner married John Christophers, as his first wife (son of Christopher3 and Sarah (Prout) Christophers—see Chris- tophers line herebefore), and by him she had a daughter Lucretia6 Christophers, to whom the pitcher was given. Lucretia5 Christophers married John Mumford of Salem, Conn., and by him had a daughter, Lucretia Christophers6 Mumford, who received the pitcher from her mother. Lucretia Christophers 6 Mumford married Anthony Thatcher of New London, Conn., and her eldest daughter by him was Lucretia Mumford 7 Thatcher, who in turn received the pitcher from her mother. Lucretia Mumford 7 Thatcher married Nathaniel Hazard Perry, U. S. Navy, and by him had one child, a son, General Alexander James 8 Perry, U. S. Army, who inherited the pitcher from his mother. Alexander James 8 Perry married Josephine Adams and by her he had a daughter (an eldest child), Lucretia Thatcher9 Perry, who received the pitcher from her father. Lucretia Thatcher9 Perry married Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborn, and resides at No. 850 Madison Avenue, New York City, and the pitcher at this writing is still in her possession. By the above presentment, we see that this family relic, reviving the remembrance of Captain Kidd's visit to Gardiner's Island in 1699, has passed down in regular succession to the present owner, Mrs. Osborn, who is a direct descendant in the female line of John 3 Gardiner, 3rd proprietor of Gardiner's Island, and his first wife, Mary (King) Gardiner, to the latter of whom both the "pitcher" and the "cloth of gold" were originally given by Captain Kidd. This pitcher has always been a valued heirloom in the family of Anthony Thatcher and his wife, the great-grand parents of the present owner, and the writer personally knows that it stood for years on the side-board in the dining room of the Thatcher homestead in New London, Conn., until that homestead was sold and demolished about 1900. On this same side-board, associated as family treasures with the "pitcher," stood the silver porringers of Jerusha5 Gardiner and that of Lucretia Christophers 6 Mumford, and the old silver tankard of John Mumford of Salem, Conn. These last three family treasures are now in the possession of the THE KIDD PITCHER Proprietor Presented to Mary (King) Gardiner, first wife of John Gardiner, 3rd of Gardiner's Island, N. Y„ now in the possession of her direct descendant.

The "pitcher" since coming into possession of Mrs. Osborn has been mounted in silver, with a top rim, a middle band and a bottom of this metal, both to preserve it from damage and to enable an inscription to be engraved thereon. Its dimensions are height, outside measurement, eleven inches; diameter of greatest outside section, eight inches; capacity one gallon. The "pitcher" is now on exhibition in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, loaned by Mrs. Osborn.

GABRIEL2 LUDLOW (1663-1736) AND HIS DESCENDANTS.

By William Seton Gordon, Member of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society.

2 I. Gabriel Ludlow (son of Gabriel 1 Ludlow and his wife Mar- tha of , Frome, County Somerset, England), born Nov. 2, 1663, at Castle Cary, County Somerset, England, and baptized there Dec. 1, died 1663; , 1736; married April 5, 1697, to Sarah Hanmer (daughter of Rev. Joseph and Martha (Eddowes) Hanmer), born

, at ; died , at . The following is a copy of the entry in the Register of Baptisms for the Parish of Castle Cary in the County of Somerset, England (certified March 10, 1883, by Rev. A. W. Grafton, Vicar) : "Christenings in Yeare 1663 December The first day of this Moneth Gabriell, the sonne of Gabriell Ludlow of ffrome and of Martha his wife, was christened."

This entry records the baptism of Gabriel 2 Ludlow, who in 1694 settled in New York. His grandfather, Thomas Ludlow, was a younger brother of the Gabriel Ludlow who was Receiver of the Duchy of Lancaster during the reign of Charles I, and of Roger Ludlow who became Deputy-Governor of The Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1634, and married Mary Endicott, sister of Governor John Endicott. His father was cousin to Cromwell's general, Sir Edmund Ludlow, who was one of King Charles I's judges and who, at the Restoration, had to flee from England.

He was born at Castle Cary, Somerset, Nov. 2, 1663, ar, d first set foot in New York Nov. 24, 1694. His father had died in Eng- land in 1690, and being a second son, the family estates had remained with the elder line. It is not unlikely that a younger brother, Wil- liam, came with him ; but of this no authentic record remains. We do not know the name of the ship in which he came, but we are told that it suffered shipwreck at Sandy Hook, whereby our ancestor lost most of his belongings. This misfortune did not prevent him, however, from taking, almost from the day of his entrance into the Colony, that social rank to which he was entitled. He at once entered upon a successful mercantile career, built and owned vessels in the coasting trade and established a place of business in Queen (now Pearl ) Street. He also became an extensive land owner, and obtained a patent from King George II for a tract of 4,000 acres of land in what is now Orange County, on the west bank of the Hudson River. This was then known as the Rockland Tap- pan tract. GABR1LL- LUDLOW 1663-1736 The Immigrant Ancestor

Three years after his arrival, Gabriel 2 Ludlow married Sarah Hanmer, daughter of the Rev. Joseph Hanmer,* Chaplain to His Majesty's forces in the Province of New York, and of Martha Eddowes his wife, of whose marriage we have a record at White- church, Shropshire, in 1663. The Hanmer descent is traced from Sir John de Hanmere, Knight, 1272, of Hanmer in the County of Flint, Wales. Sarah Hanmer was the youngest of a family of nine, consisting of two boys and seven girls. We have the names of the four daughters, Catharine, Hester, Abigail and Sarah, who, upon the death of their father in New York, petitioned the Governor in Council to be paid the balance of his salary. The Order in Council directing the sisters to be paid the balance of the salary is dated April 13, 1691, and applies "from the 6th January, 1689, unto the daye of his death." Rev. Joseph and Martha (Eddowes) Hanmer had 9 (Hanmer) children, 2 sons and 7 daughters, viz.:

This is to certify that I have recently caused an examination to be made of the official Registers or Books of Record wherein have been recorded from time to time the Births, Marriages and Deaths of the Parish of Whitchurch, in the County of Shropshire, England (the said Registers being now and having been continuously since my incumbency in my possession and charge as Rector of the said Parish), and that I do find recorded there the following entries made, to the best of my belief at or about the date they respectively bear, to wit (Banns) 1659, Mar. Mr. Joseph Hanmer of Iscoyd, in the county of Flint and Mrs. Martha Eddow of this parish were published three severall Lord's Dayes ending 27 of March 1659. (Marriage) 1659, March.

weather to take refuge in the Bermudas, where they remained three weeks for repairs, so that it was March 19, 1691, when they at last dropped anchor in the lower Bay. Governor Sloughter appointed Joseph Hanmer Post Surgeon at the Fort, formerly called Fort George, but which Gov. Sloughter renamed Fort William Henry; but the surgeon did not long survive the effects of exposure suffered on the voyage of the Archangel, and died in the Fort in April, 1691. The marriage of Gabriel 2 Ludlow and Sarah Hanmer took place in the Church in the Fort on Easter Monday, April 5, 1697. The Rev. Mr. Seymour Smith, Chaplain to H. M.'s Forces, officiated.

2 Of Gabriel Ludlow's home life in New York but little information has come down to us. We know that at one time he resided in Maiden Lane, and in the Census of New York, taken in 1703, his name is entered as then residing in the East Ward, and as the master of a family consisting of husband and wife, one male child, five female children, and two negro slaves. Only one or two books have come down to us of those which he possessed. Upon the fly-leaf of an ancient book, being Vol. I of the Memoirs of Edmund Ludlow, Vevey, Switzerland, once in the possession of Thomas W. Ludlow, 2 Esq., but once owned by Gabriel Ludlow, is found in the handwriting of the latter, the following: "Translated, Gabriel Ludlow, Senior, in August 1723."

The inscription over his door.

To everyone that is courageous, every soil is his native country, because of his God, our Heavenly Father. The Epitaph. "Stay and Behold Here lyes Edmund Ludlow, of the English Nation and the County of Wilts, son of Sir Henry and Senator of Parliament, who was himself a member also; of eminent and noble descent, yet more noble and gifted with remarkable piety. In the 23rd year of his age he was Colonel, and soone after General of the Army ; then a Sub- duer of Ireland. In battle courageous and lavish of life: in victory mild and courteous ; Defender of his country's liberty and a most vehement opposer of arbitrary power, for the same cause was ban- ished his country thirty two years, and worthy of a better fortune betook himself among the Helvetians, where he enjoyed it to the 73rd year of his age; at his Death, joyfully leaving his place here, according to his desire, he is passed to the Eternal Joys.

This monument is dedicated and desired by Mrs. Elizabeth de Thomas, his most beloved consort, in perpetual memory toward her deceased husband, being active and most sorrowful as well in misfortune as in wedlock, who out of greatness of mind and efficacie of conjugal love Thereunto moved constantly followed him in exile to his decease, which was in the year 1693."

"New York, ye 9th day of May, 1712. As I was this evening sitting at ye street door of my house in Maiden Lane about 9 o'clock, a meteor or Starr shott along ye Hemisphere from about 25 or 30 degrees above ye South West Horizon to within about ye 20 degrees of ye North East Horizon; as it passed along, it made so great a light in ye hemisphere that made all things in ye streets appear very visable, though the night was pretty cloudy. It run this 125 or 130 degrees in about half a minute." In the same handwriting, in another book which belonged to him, we also find the following: "Gabriel Ludlow, son of Gabriel Ludlow, was born Nov. 2, 1663 which was a Monday night at twelve o'clock at Castle Cary."

This book, with the original note, is now in the possession of Mr. Bradish Johnson Carroll. There is also a note, evidently in his own handwriting, of the date of his brother's birth at "ffrome, on Sept. 2, 1666." This may be his brother William, who is named as a joint grantee in the patent of the Tappan Tract, as William Ludlow, Gentleman. From subsequent recorded deeds, we learn that William's wife was named Mary. In 1698, family silver, papers and important documents were sent out from England to Gabriel 2 Ludlow, but the vessel carrying them was shipwrecked. Everything was lost except a wooden chest or casket. This subsequently was owned by Miss Arabella Ludlow, who gave it to her sister, Mrs. Anthony Carroll. A silver teapot and a dozen teaspoons bearing the family crest were recently in the possession of Mrs. S. M. Shippen, having been given to her by R. S. Bullus. Gabriel 2 Ludlow was a devout Churchman. He was named as a Vestryman in the Royal Charter of Trinity Church, New York, granted in 1697 by King William III, and served as Vestryman from 1697 to 1704, and as Clerk of the Vestry from 1700 until his death. He contributed funds towards the erection of the first or original edifice, and in 171 1 subscribed towards the building of a steeple. His son Gabriel 3 Ludlow was a member of the vestry for twenty- seven years prior to 1769. His son Henry 3 acted in the same capacity for twelve years, and it has been said that for no period during two centuries has his blood been unrepresented upon the vestry by his descendants. He was also Clerk of the New York House of Assembly from 1699 to 1733, and one of the most prominent and influential merchants in the City. Gabriel 2 Ludlow died in 1736, and his remains rest in the family vault under the present Trinity Church. Gabriel 2 and Sarah (Hanmer) Ludlow had 12 (Ludlow) chil- 3 dren, 7 sons and 5 daughters, viz.:— (1) Hanmer, died young; (2) 3 3 Martha, who married George Duncan; (3) Elizabeth, who died 3 young; (4) Henry, 8 who marred Mary Corbett; (5) Sarah; (6) Gabriel, 3 who married (1) Frances Duncan and (2) Elizabeth 8 Crommelin; (;) John, who married Sarah Broadbury; (8) Wil- — — — ——

Councillor and one of the four Judges of the Supreme Court of the Colony

of New York (1769-78) ; Senior Councillor and Governor of New Brunswick, Canada, and Chief Justice of the Prov- ince, 1784. He married his cousin, Frances Duncan, who was a daughter of Thomas Duncan. While in New York they resided in Pearl St. With other Royalists they were compelled to leave New York and they removed to St. John, New Brunswick. His estates at Hempstead Plains, Long Island, were confiscated. He became an extensive landowner at St. John, his principal estate being "Spring Hills," upon the St. John River near Fredericton, N. B., where he died. Frances Duncan was the eldest of nine children. Her father resided in a large three-story residence in Pearl St. (then Queen St.), or Hanover Square. In the year 1764, this house caught fire and was burned to the ground. All the children except the youngest, Arabella, who had been sent out of the house, were in the nursery at the top of the house and their mother was with them. All perished in the flames except Frances, who leaped from an upper window and was caught by Capt. Miller, a British officer, father of Mr. Blackburn Miller. Frances was then 17 years of age and engaged to be married to George Duncan Ludlow. After her marriage her father resided in her house, but did not long survive the loss of his wife and

* The following is a copy of an old memorandum in the handwriting of Frances S. Ludlow, purporting to be copied by her from old family records : "Mary Duncan, daughter of Captain George Duncan, deceased, was born February 14th, 1713-14, and died 21st September, 1777-8. Her elder brothers and sisters were: Christian Duncan, born February 2nd, 1707-8; Frances Duncan [wife of Gabriel 3 Ludlow], born October 1st, 1700; Michael Dun- can, born March 23rd, 1701-2; James Duncan, born November 3rd, 1703;

George Duncan, born November 6th, 1705 ; Thomas Duncan, born February 9th, 1710-11." The above James Duncan was originally a merchant in New York City. He married a daughter of Judge Pinhorn and took up his residence in Fish- kill, N. Y. He was appointed, under the Colonial Government, a Magistrate for the County. — ——— —

B., aged 80. She is buried beside her husband in the graveyard there. After his marriage Gabriel George Ludlow retired to his country seat, which embraced 140 acres, at Hyde Park, near Hempstead, Long Island (an estate afterwards occupied by the celebrated William Cobbett), and was closely identified with public affairs in Queens County up to 1783. He was appointed Colonel of the Militia of the County, as well as a Justice of the Peace. He was a staunch Loyalist, and in 1776 became Colonel of the Third Battalion of Brigadier- Gen. Oliver De Lancey's Long Island Brigade of Royal Americans. His battalion was stationed during 1777 to 1783 at Brookhaven, but was disbanded in Nova Scotia after the close of the war. He was appointed a Governor of King's College (afterwards Columbia College) in 1759 and resigned this honor in 1770. He and his brother, Judge George Duncan Ludlow, were included in the Act of Attain- der passed by the Legislature of the new State of New York, Oct. 22, 1779. All their property was confiscated and, upon the British evacuation of New York, with nearly all other prominent Loyalists, they were forced to leave their native country. They sailed for England, where their privations were recognized by the Crown. They were both appointed members of the King's Council for the newly created Province of New Brunswick and were given lands in Carleton and neighborhood. Here they established new homes, and in December of 1784, they sent for their families. During the sea voyaee from New York, the ship containing their wives and children was wrecked off Schoodick Point on the Massachusetts coast, but ultimately all were safely landed in their new homes. Gabriel George Ludlow was a member of the City Council of St. John, New Bruns- wick. He was first Mayor of St. John (1785 to 1795);

Judge of the Vice Admiralty Court (1787 to 1803) ; Presi- dent of the King's Council in New Brunswick (1803 to 1808). He was also appointed by the King, Commander- in-Chief of the Province of New Brunswick, which office he held until his death. Col. Ludlow built a substantial mansion in St. John, which is still standing and is known as "The Old Government House." Here he spent the remainder of his life. He died at Carleton, N. B., Feb. 12, 1808, and was accorded a public funeral, in which the entire —— —

* Note on Descent of the Crommelins. Lord Robert Stuart, Earl of Orkney (1542), was a natural son of James V. of Scotland. Robert had a daughter Mary, who married John Sinclair. Their son William Sinclair married Joanna Gordon, daughter of Gordon of Clairston, in Rosshire. They had two sons, Robert and James. Robert (called of Siba), married Beatrix, daughter of General King and had only one child, James, who died without issue. Thus ended Robert's line. His brother James (called of Kirkwall), married Anna Sinclair. They had (1) James, who died without issue, (2) William, who emigrated from Scotland when a youth and was never again heard from; (3) Robert, of whom later; and (4) Beatrix, who married John Boind and had a son James Boind. : —

The family of Sinclair owes its origin to William de Sancte Clair, a Nor- man Knight, said to be cousin of William of Normandy, and who fought for William at Hastings in 1066. His descendants penetrated into Northern Scotland and obtained many charters of land from King Robert I. The first Earl of Caithness was William Sinclair, Lord High Treasurer of Scotland. Other cadets of the house are Lord Pentland and Baron Sinclair. Anciently the landed possessions of the family extended from sea to sea and embraced the Orkney Islands, then subject to the suzerainty of the crown of Norway. Robert Sinclair emigrated from Scotland to New York in 1679. Before leaving Scotland, he procured from the Minister and Elders of the Church at Ricena, Orkney, a certificate, written in Latin, dated Kirkwall, April 5th, 1677, to the effect that he, Robert, was born in lawful wedlock of an honest father, James Sinclair, gentleman, of Ricena (whose father was William Sin- clair and whose mother was Joanna Gordon and whose grandfather was John Sinclair and whose grandmother was Mary Stewart), and of Anna Sin- clair, his mother ; and is a man of unblemished character, held in high esteem and leaving his country solely to see the world. This certificate has been carefully preserved, and is still in existence. Robert Sinclair married in New York, Maria Duyckinck (daughter of Gerardus Duyckinck and Mary Duyckinck), who was born March, 1659, and died 1731. The date of their marriage was August 15, 1683. Robert Sinclair died in 1704.

Daniel was the son of John Cromme- lin, and was born in 1646. He and his son Charles were admitted Freemen of New York in 1698.

Harlow L. Comstock is No 1440 in Comstock Genealogy, p. 98, and not the name Horatio L., as given. Descendants of the Judge did not know the name of his father. 1 have a letter from Lois, widow of Capt. William C. Comstock, under date of Feb. 24, 1879. This letter contains a list of children of Ransford B. Comstock, and among the names of his eleven children is Harlow L. Census, Aug. 17, 1850, for Warsaw, Wyoming County, N.

These last two are the husband and wife. Harlow L. was born in Groton, N. Y., 1821-2, his descendants say. His ancestors then would be as follows: 6 Ransford B. Comstock, b. April 25, 1783, New London, Ct.; m. about 1810, Anna Loveridge, whose parents died at sea when she was very youug and she was adopted by a family by the name of Loveridge and renamed Anna Loveridge.

Sanxay's thin little quarto on The Sanxay Family\ and Descendants of Rev. Jacques Sanxay, Huguenot Refugee to England in 1685, which was privately printed in 1907 on Japan- ese vellum, contains a few errors which were corrected by the compiler and the errata printed. Also some additional notes were afterwards made and printed as "Addenda." These were issued as slips to be inserted at the end of the book. There may be copies, however, which have never been reached by these corrections and addenda, and therefore these are printed here. Page 8, line 6, read make in place of "made."

It should not have been embodied in the text that Pastor Sanxay was ever an apothecary. It was done because Louis Audiat so states in his Life and Works of Bernard Palissy, but he cites no evidence to support the statement, and, after considerable investigation, I am now convinced there is none, Audiat doubtless confused the Pastor with other Sanxays at Saintes who unquestionably were apothecaries. Page 21, line 12, read 1589 in place of "1587." Page 24, line 20, read Farnoulx in place of " Farrioulz." Page 25, line 3, read Brisambourg in place of " Brisanebourg." Page 25. The statement that Suzanne Sanxay was baptized by Rouspeau was made on the authority of the late Louis Audiat of Saintes. A closer examination, however, of the text of Crottet's history makes clear that this last baptism by Rouspeau was of Suzanne Robelin, dau. of Maistre Robelin, "apothicaire de Pons," and of Suzanne Sanxay, who herself was dau. of Pastor Pierre Sanxay. M. Robelin, her husband, was probably Francois Robelin, godfather of Pierre Sanxay, "avocat" (see No. 6, p. 136). This also shows that the Suzanne of No. (2), p. 134, was not, as possibly supposed, the pastor's daughter. Note 3, p. 30. The Duke, Henry de La Tremoille, was also Prince of Tarente and Count of Taillebourg.

Page 31, line 7, and page 137, line 2 of (9), read Menus Fiefs in place of " Man us-Fiefs." Note 4, p. 31. Records lately discovered show that Anne Pichon could not have been Pierre Sanxay's first wife. They show that a Jeanne Sanxay, dau. of a Pierre Sanxay—without doubt the Pierre above mentioned—on 5 May, 1653, by contract, registered before Fleuresson, notary-royal, married Helye Thomas, sieur de Maine Moreau, chevalier de l'ordre de St. Michel, lieutenant et assesseur au siege de Taillebourg, par lettres de pro- visions de monseigneur le prince de Tarente, comte de Taillebourg, des 27 Septembre, 1652, et 8 Juillet, 1654. Records, relating to many cases before said Thomas, as seigneurial Judge, under his appointment by said Prince, are now among the archives of the Charente Inferieure. The chateu du Maine Moreau was situated in the parish of Annepont, near Taillebourg, and the landed estate of Pierre Sanxay—the Blanchardieres—was in the same parish. Jeanne died about 1662. There was one child of the marriage, a boy, also named Helye. Page 33, line 26, read Jacques in place of "Jehan." Page 35, lines 7 and 8, read January in place of " February;" line 19, read Elise in place of "Elsie;" line 24, read Leenhardt in place of " Leonhardt."

Note 5, p. 41. The desired authentic and decisive proof has now come, showing that Josue Sanxay was the father of Pastor Jacques Sanxay, the refugee to England. It was found in the 80 Corrections and Additions to Published Genealogical Works. [Jan. records of a presidial court (at Saintes) now in the archives of the Charente Inferieure. These records also show that Josue Sanxay and Maria Vivier were married 12 April, 1639, by contract registered before Pryvallaud, notary-royal; that Josue made a will 3 February, 1667, registered before Mongrand, notary at Taillebourg; that an inventory of his estate, after death, was made, 17 August, 1670; that Pastor Jacques Sanxay married Marie Moreau, 28 April, 1678, by contract, registered before Moreau, notary-royal, and that his sister Anne married Josue Pouliou, 20 May, 1671, by contract, registered before Chasseloup, notary-royal. Thus, beginning with Pastor Pierre Sanxay, an authentic genealogical chain, down to the present time (May, A. D., 1910), is established beyond a question.

Note 6, p. 43. The home of Daniel Meschinet and Ruth San- xay was doubtless at or near Clerac, 16 kilometres southeast from Saintes. Their three children, and order of birth, were as follows: Etienne, b. 1669; Jacques, b. 1671; and Daniel, b. 1674. " Page 48, lines 10 and 11, read Maichin in place of Machin."

Page 58, lines 20, 21, read Davenant in place of "Divenant." Note 8. pp. 65, 151. It has recently come to light that Rev. James Sanxay of Tetcott was twice married, first at London, 22 April, 1720, to Charlotte Mary Gaches, in St. Martins-in-the- Fields (London), his brother Daniel officiating. She was also of Huguenot descent. She died and was buried at Penzance, 19 Sep- tember, 1722. Charlotte, who was a daughter of this marriage, was baptized at Penzance, 24 August, 1721, which explains why the record was not found at Tetcott.

Note 9, p. 71. Edmund Sanxay, 12 April, 1758, was elected a member of the Court of Assistants of the Company of Surgeons at London, "to have hold and enjoy the said office according to the late Act of Parliament and the By-laws of the corporation." This election was a tribute to his high distinction in his profession. A part of the court's duties was to examine candidates for positions as surgeons in the army and navy. At a meeting of the Court held I July, 1762, announcing his intention to withdraw from active professional service and retire to the country, he resigned from the Court. He was then 47 years of age. The Court had secured premises in the Old Bailey and had there built Surgeon's Hall, where its meetings were held during his membership.

[Jan. department for Registration of ^etiigrees.

Conducted by JOHN REYNOLDS TOTTEN.

THE NEW YORK GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY conducts a department for the purpose of examining, approving and publishing pedigrees of individual applicants. The Society will accept for examination the pedigree of ANY INDI- VIDUAL, whether a member of the Society or not. Those desiring to take advantage of the facilities thus offered should apply to the Society for the authorized blank form on which to record the pedigree to be submitted for examination (enclosing 50 cents in payment for the blank). Applicants must either themselves, or with the assistance of professional genealogists, fill in the form as indicated and return the same to this Society for examination; it being understood that the regular charges made by this Society are for examination and publication of the pedigree, and do not include genealogical research in the preparation of the pedigree itself.

When a pedigree is submitted for examination the applicant must send with it a preliminary fee of $15.00. Upon the receipt of a pedigree and this preliminary fee, the pedigree will be examined; and if approved, it will be subsequently published, first in an issue of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, and the applicant will receive 2 copies of the Record containing the pedigree without further charge. The pedigree will thereafter (when a sufficient number have accumulated) be published in a volume of a series, one volume of which has already been issued (see Vol. VI, New York Genealogical and Bio- graphical Society's Collections) ; and copies of this volume will be sold to those whose pedigrees are contained therein at the special price of $5.00 a volume. Pedigrees must be submitted to the Society in form complete for publication. If, upon examination by the Society, essential facts are added to the pedigree by the examiner, a nominal fee, not to exceed $5.00, will be charged by the Society for ascertaining and embodying such additional information in the pedigree.

If upon examination the pedigree is found to be essentially inaccurate, it will not be approved and will be returned to the applicant ; and the preliminary fee will be refunded, less a charge of $10.00 for expert examination. If, when finally examined, approved and prepared for publication, the pedigree is found to require more than one page for its proper presentation, the fee for publishing the same, as above explained, will be at the rate of $15.00 a page (pages to be similar in size and form to those of pedigrees heretofore published in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record,—see issues from April, 191 1, to date of this issue), but, in adjusting the final charge, credit for the payment of the preliminary fee of $15.00 will be given to the applicant. For the benefit of applicants desiring extra copies of their pedigrees for family distribution, editions of 50 copies of such pedigrees will be supplied on 4-page folders of linen ledger paper, with space left for additional notes, for a fee of $5.00. Individuals desiring their pedigrees prepared for examination, approval and later publication by this Society, and who are unfamiliar with the methods to pursue to secure the necessary information to establish such pedigrees, or who are unable to devote the required time to their preparation,—are invited to address this Society with a view to being put in communication with a professional genealogist capable of establishing and submitting them (when established) in proper form to this Society for publication. Applications for examination, approval and publishing pedigrees under the condition hereabove set forth should be made to the NEW YORK GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY, 226 West 58TH Street, New York City.

No. 106. FELCH FRANK HERVEY PETTINQELL

1 1. Henry Felch, the immigrant ancestor, b , 1590, about, at , Wales (possibly); d. Aug. .., 1670, at Boston, Mass.; m. (1) at (before coming to this country probably), to Margaret ? (whose maiden surname and parentage are not as yet determined), b

at ; d. 23rd of 4th month (June), 1655, at Boston. Mass.; m. (2) (after 2nd of 8th

month, 1656), at (Boston, Mass., probably), to Elizabeth ( ) Wiborne (widow of Thomas 1 Wiborne, who d. at Boston, 2nd of 8th month, 1656; her maiden surname and parentage

are not as yet determined), b at ; d. May 12, 1682, at Boston, Mass.

Res.: Henry 1 Felch, the first of the name in this country, was b. about 1590. He is supposed to have come from Wales (of which tradition there is no prooi) with the party of Rev. Richard Blynman in 1640. This party landed first at Plymouth, where Mr. Blynman is mentioned in the records, March 2, 1641; they next appeared at Marshfield, which town was incorporated March l, 1642, and was then called Green's Harbor. In less than a year the party removed to Gloucester, Mass.. where in 1642 Henry 1 Felch was owner of " six acres of hoed ground," of which ground there is no grant on the records, so it may be inferred that he was in Gloucester before its incorporation as a town. Gloucester was settled between October, 1641 (when the bounds of the town were approved by the General Court) and Mav, 1642, when it was established or incorporated as a plantation called Gloucester. The first marriage recorded in Gloucester is that of "a daughter of Henry 1 Felch to Samuel Haieward, March 2, 1641 (N. S .)" Savage (vol. ii, p. 393) indicates that Samuel Haieward's wife was named Isabel, but there are several reasons why this is not likely. Henry 1 Felch was a proprietor in Watertown, Mass., in 1642. and was perhaps of Reading, Mass., in 1644. He lived during his later years in Boston, Mass., where he d. between July 4, 1670 (the date of his will) and Sept. 27, 1670, the date of its probate. Presumably before coming to this country, he m. his first wife Margaret ? who d. in Boston in 1655; his second wife was the widow of Thomas 1 Wiborne, who came to this country on the ship Castle in 1638, from Tenterden. County Kent, Ens-, and who d. in Boston, 2nd of 8th month, 1656, and whose will was dated Sept. 12, 1656, and proved Oct. 28, 1656. 2 2 Children, 4 (Felch), all by his 1st m., 1 son and 3 da us., viz:— 1. Henry, b ,1610, about (see below). 2 dau. (perhaps 2 at 2 2 Isabel ), b ; m. March 2, 1641, Gloucester, Mass., to Samuel Haieward. 3. Anna (or Hannah ), b ; m. 2 2 Samuel Dun ton of Reading, Mass., who d. Nov. 7, 1683; she d. July n. 1689. 4. Mary, b ; m. John Wiburn (or Wiborne), her step-brother, son of Thomas 1 Wiborne of Boston, by his wife Elizabeth, who became the 2nd wife of Henry 1 Felch. 1 Elizabeth ( ) Wiborne had by her 1st husband, Thomas Wiborne, 7 (Wiborne) children, 5 sons and 2 daus., 2 viz:— 1. Thomas, executor of his father's will: m. (1) Abigail Eliot, who d. at Boston, April 24, 1660; m. (2) Ruth 2. James, 2 of Boston, who d. March 7, 1658-9; he was one of the executors of his father's will. 3. John, 2 who m. his 2 2 2 step-sister, Mary Felch. 4. Jonathan, who d. at Boston, 10th of the 10th montb, 1653. 5. Nathaniel, b. in Boston, 2 2 March 12. 1655. 6. Elizabeth, who m. 3rd of 2nd month, 1655. to John Merrick. 7. Mary, mentioned in her father's will.

2 2. Henry Felch, b , bapt. 1610, at Wales (possibly); d. Nov. 11, 1699, at Reading, 1 Mass.; m , 1649, at to Hannah Sargent (dau. of Rev. William and his first wife

Hannah ( ) Sargeant of Charlestown, Maiden and Barnstable, Mass.), b (bapt. July 13,

1629), at , Northamptonshire, Eng.; d. Dec. 15, 1717, at Reading, Mass. Res Henry 2 Felch was b. about 1610, according to tradition in Pembrokeshire, Wales, Great Britain, and came to America with his parents. He was a proprietor at Gloucester, Mass., and settled for a time in Watertown, Mass., and then removed to Reading, Mass., in 1647, where he was prominent in town affairs, being a Selectman in 1647, 48, 51 and in 1681. and SSurveyor of Highways in 1648. He probably resided in Boston for a time as several of his children were born there. His estate was inventoried Dec. 13, 1099. his son John 3 Felch being administrator. In the town records of Reading he is often spoken of as "Sergeant Henry Felch," which shows that he was a member of the first military corps of Read- ing, formed probably at the time of the incorporation of the town in 1644, and called " Reading Infantry Company." The first captain of this company was Richard Walker, who was also an ancestor of the proponent, Frank Hervey Pettingell.

Faris. 8vo, cloth, pp. 336, including index, illustrated with frontispiece in color and 100 plates in double net. tone. J. B. Lippincott Company, publishers, 1918. Price, $4.50, Address: publishers. "The fact that Philadelphia was the center for a long period of the colonial life of the nation gives this volume an historical appeal to all Americans. There is no romance like that of the lives of those who, when duty calls, dare to venture in the dark, who are content to lay the foundations on which others may build. These words tell the truth concerning the life of the pioneer, a life of toil, of sacrifice, of heroic endurance, but withal a life of real joy, to them, and to those who look back on it, a life of the richest romance. Much of the material for the volume has been gathered from manuscripts and genealogical records in the matchless collection of the Historical Society of Penn- sylvania, from the files of the Pennsylvania Historical Magaine, which is a vast treasure-house of curious and interesting facts about the early history of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, and from many rare books and original sources. The illustrations are of the most various and interesting character." Recommended to all general reference and historical libraries.

Life and Times of Stephen Girard. Mariner and Merchant, by John Bach McMaster, Professor of American History, University of Pennsylvania. Vols. I, pp. 469, and II, pp. 481. J. B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia, 1918. 8vo, cloth, illustrated and indexed. Price, $5.00. A splendid testimonial to an historic personage, whose life history was truly a romance. Born in Bordeaux in 1750, at the age of 16, young Girard became a cabin boy in a vessel in which his father had taken a venture, on a trading voyage to San Domingo. In 1773 he was licensed to act as captain of merchant ships and in July, 1774, sailed for New York with a cargo of sugar and Accessions to the Library. i 9 i g .] 95

He and fate thereafter from St. Pierre as master of the ship La Jeune Babe, seas ordained that he should put into Philadelphia because of high winds and the and especially the lack of fresh water. This city was destined to become future home of the ship's Captain. During the war Girard continued his shipping ventures, engaging in pri- vateering enterprises, and after the peace traded with French San Domingo, until the massacre of the whites by the negroes put an end to all business undertakings there. Then Girard turned to Europe and became a bold and adventurous trader, taking great risks, suffering heavy losses but reaping rich profits. When the War of 1812 broke out he became the first private banker in the United States and rose rapidly to importance in national finance. Our author states that it was his great subscription that enabled the Government to float a loan of sixteen million dollars and a later subscription of three million dollars that made it possible to organize the second Bank of the United office, which Girard bought in 1812, States ; and it was the building of its home that became known as Girard's Bank. Mr. Girard died of pneumonia on December 21, 1831, in his 81st year. One of his great benefactions was the founding of a "permanent college" for the benefit of poor white male orphans, and his will bequeathed a sum for the public good of vaster proportions than a private citizen had ever previously done. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania received $300,000 and the City of Philadelphia cash and real estate which has increased in value at this date to over $32,700,000. The volumes before us are illustrated with the posthumous portrait of the subject of the biography and the ship Good Friends, both in color, and a number of doubletones. The work relates in true perspective the life story of a cabin boy on a French merchantman trading with San Domingo to that of the merchant prince, greatest private banker and greatest public benefactor of his time. Truly a remarkable career of a remarkable man and told in a convincing, lucid, and fascinating way which is not only enjoyable to read but of great value as an example worthy of emulation.

~~By Chauncey M. Depew, Honorary Member of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society.~~

Theodore Roosevelt was my friend from his boyhood until his death. No one could know him without having for him the profoundest affection and the greatest admiration. He was one of the most extraordinary men of our period, or of any period ; he made history and was a most important factor in the history of his time. His whole public career is lined with monuments in beneficent legislation and individual achievement, testifying to services for his country and the world of the greatest value. He was born two years before the breaking out of the Civil War and was President of the United States when it was the necessity of the Executive to have a united country in support of policies for the benefit of the whole United States. For this destiny he was fortunate in his ancestors : his father of Dutch and Scotch ancestry, was a leading citizen of New York and one of the most useful and prominent citizens of the North ; his mother was from Georgia and represented the best blood and traditions of the South. He could appeal, as no President had been able to since the Civil War, to all sections of the country, North, South, East and West. Harvard gave him an eastern culture and ranch life on the western plains brought him in contact and close association with those pioneers who have discovered, developed and peopled our territories, from the Mississippi to the Pacific. Mr. Roosevelt had the adaptability, the energy, the grasp of affairs, the talent for instantly comprehending difficult problems which would have made him a great captain of industry and one of our multi-millionaires. He inherited a small trust estate, the income of which was not sufficient for more than a quarter of his expenses of living and yet it had the singular effect upon him of destroying all ambition to accumulate a fortune. He always felt sure that by his own exertions he could so supplement this limited income as to meet all requirements, and at the same time the income was an anchor which in great stress or necessity would prevent his drifting to want. 98 Theodore Roosevelt. [April

This confidence of Mr. Roosevelt was due, even at that early- day, to his love of work for work's sake. He had a consuming desire to be all the time doing something and producing something. When he was Governor, with all the exactions of the place, he, nevertheless, found time to write books. He was under contract with his publishers on both the African hunting trip and the Brazilian journey of exploration. After a day of rough travel and perilous adventure, when all his companions were used up and asleep, he sat by a box on which was a candle and by its flickering light wrote the day's chapter for his book. He was daily contributing to the press, and toweeklyand monthly magazines constantly giving interviews and making speeches, and yet in some mysterious way found time for conferences with political leaders, with men of letters, with distinguished visitors, with his publishers, the managers and the editors of his magazines and newspapers. He was a frequent attendant at social functions, and the most desired and welcomed of guests at public and private dinners. He was temperate in all things, but a glutton for work. His activities were during the greatest period of industrial development which this country has ever known, a period in which masterful men developed in an unprecedented way our natural resources, our manufacturing and our transportation with results that were enormously beneficial to communities and multitudes of people, but yielded fabulous returns to the architects. Colonel Roosevelt admired these men and their achievements but always looked upon them and what they did from the stand- point of public safety and public service. His clear vision was never obscured. He had no fear of big business and to his mind

the bigger the better, if the best results for all could be had that way ; at the same time, if in his judgment the process was becoming dangerous to the public welfare because of its tendency to monopoly he became at once its enemy. I remember as if it were yesterday the commencement of his career. From the beginning his ambitions were for public life and public service. A Republican district leader, forty years ago, came to my office and said: "We have this difficulty in our district. A small part of it is composed of what the boys call 'silk stockings' living along Fifth Avenue and the adjoining streets, while the major part of it runs over into sections which are under the control of Tammany Hall. To keep our organization alive and secure for the boys some recognition in office holding, I have to deal with a very difficult problem. These dealings have offended the 'silk stockings,' but we need their votes and especially their contributions. I can think of but one way out and that is to nominate for the legislature a representative of these men of wealth and high social position. What do you think of young Theodore Roosevelt?" Of course I became enthusiastic at once. "Well," said the astute leader, "we will have a dinner at Delmonico's and bring him out. None of our igig.] Theodore Roosevelt, 90 organization will attend, none but that class will be invited, but I will be in the pantry. I want you to preside." The dinner was a great success; there were about three hundred present. It settled the question as to whether the district organization was patriotically doing its duty, because everyone present said, and they all knew each other, "What lies and slander have been perpetrated and circulated !" against our district Young Roosevelt was at that time about twenty-two years old, but he looked much younger. He did not have the clear and con- fident way of talking which made him in after years such an impressive speaker. He cultivated oratory until he became past-master of public speech for influencing public opinion. He read for about an hour from his manuscript to an audience of as hard-headed, practical and successful men as could be gathered in New York. They were tolerant of his emphatic views on the evils of city, State and national government and how he would correct them. It is one of the extraordinary things in politics that this young man of twenty-two, afterwards as Police Commissioner of New York, as Governor of the State of New York and as President of the United States, had the opportunity to carry out these policies and to translate them into laws. He was for three years a member of the Legislature and, notwithstanding his youth, came very near being made Speaker. He impressed himself upon the whole State so that he was made Chairman of the New York delegation to the Republi- can National Convention which met in Chicago in 1884. There, as ever afterwards, he was for high ideals. The Party organization learned that here was a rising force which they could not break, but, as far as possible, must come to follow. The organization was over- whelmingly for Blaine, but Roosevelt organized a party and led it with his usual enthusiasm and vigor for George F. Edmunds, the famous Senator from Vermont. This action put the organization against him and kept him out of public life for the next two years. President Harrison put him at the head of the Civil Service Com- mission. The spoils system was very popular, especially among members of Congress. It was Roosevelt's peculiarity and distinction that, whatever duty was imposed upon him, it was done to the best of his ability without regard to popularity. He became the best hated man in Washington by increasing the offices subject to the Civil Service examination from ten thousand to over forty thousand. New York had elected a Reform Mayor. He found that the Police Department blocked and neutralized all his efforts. He must have a man who would do right and in doing right, dare to be unpopular, The most conspicuous example in the country was Theodore Roose- velt and Mayor Strong made him Police Commissioner. The new Commissioner startled, aroused and enraged a wide open city where the law against vice had always been laxly enforced, if at all, by announcing as his policy the rigid enforcement of the laws. Saloon-keepers and gamblers, votaries of pleasure and all that multitude who in a great city, if unrestrained, violate the law, were instantly up in arms. They formed a great parade for personal ICO Theodore Roosevelt. [April

liberty but to their amazement found occupying the front seat on the reviewing stand the new Police Commissioner. A German brewer shouting, "Where is Roosevelt now?" was amazed by hearing the Police Commissioner say, "Here I am, my friend, what can I do for you?" The surprise reversed the German mentality, the brewer called three cheers for Roosevelt, and that part of the procession col- lapsed. Wherever in the districts infested by gangs and gunmen the patrolman's life was always in danger, there, at all hours, would be found strolling along and in constant peril of assassination, Mr. Roosevelt. Discipline and efficiency soon made the New York police the finest body in the world. But this great cosmopolitan city soon grew tired of the virtue which comes from the enforcement of the law, so Mr. Roosevelt accepted the offer from President McKinley of Assistant Secretary of the Navy. This appointment is an illustration of the ways of Providence in providing the man for an emergency. There was a crisis in our international relations because of intolerable conditions in Cuba. With his usual foresight and instinc- tive grasp of situations the Assistant Secretary of the Navy saw that war was inevitable and began to prepare the navy for its part. After much opposition he succeeded in having Dewey appointed to the command of the Asiatic squadron. It was an era of rigid economy and saving of powder. Roosevelt's resistless importunities secured an appropriation of nearly a million and a half for powder. When asked by Congress what he had done with it, he said, "burned it up in target practice." So when the Spanish War came, while there was unpreparedness everywhere else, Dewey's gunners sank the enemy's fleet in Manila Bay and the marksmen of Sampson and Schley destroyed, while they were trying to escape from Santiago Harbor, the hostile warships. So great was the terror in the department of this young Assistant Secretary that the Secretary of the Navy, a most estimable gentleman and excellent officer, having arrived at the station in Washington to take the train for his vaca- tion, changed his mind and returned to his desk, saying, "I must watch my Assistant Secretary." Mr. Roosevelt was one of the few more responsible than others for bringing on the Spanish War. It is well known that the Presi- dent did his best to prevent it. It was the characteristic of Roose- velt that he never asked from others that they volunteer for a dangerous enterprise unless he was willing to share in it himself. So he raised the "Rough-riders" regiment and, by gallantry in action, became the foremost figure in the Spanish-American War.

The political situation in New York State was very critical for the party in power. The people had voted nine millions of dollars to improve our canals. Governor Black ordered an investigation which resulted in finding that one million of it had either been lost or stolen. The canals have always been politically perilous to the party in power in the State of New York. They belong to the people and the people are exceedingly sensitive as to the integrity of their I919O Theodore Roosevelt. IOI management. Mr. Thomas C. Piatt was our State leader and asked me to a consultation as to a candidate for Governor. He said, "Ben Odell," afterwards our distinguished Governor Odell, "has advised me to select Roosevelt who is in camp on Long Island, having just returned from Cuba, but as Police Commissioner, Civil Service Com- missioner and Assistant Secretary of the Navy he has always been uncontrollable either by the party organization or his superior and I am afraid that he might be most dangerous to our organization." I said to him, "In my judgment, Roosevelt is the only man we can elect." Having been all my life on the platform, I judge of every question, in politics or business, which affects the public, by how it will be received by the people in an audience. Of course I shall make speeches as always and will expect the heckler to ask questions. He is bound to say, "Your eulogy of the grand old party is all right, but how about that million of dollars stolen from the canal fund? Then the speaker has to explain that it was only a million and that will be fatal, but if you nominate Roosevelt I can say to my friend, the heckler, I am very glad you asked that question. We have nominated for Governor the greatest thief catcher there is in the world ; as Police Commisioner he cleaned up New York and in the Cuban War he has cleaned up that Island. He is the one man who will find out what became of that money, and if it was stolen to punish the thieves and secure restitution. The band will play the Star Spangled Banner."

The old gentleman said, "That settles it, he will be nominated." Nothing has impressed me so much as the accidents of public life. In business and professional careers, brains, industry and efficiency always tell, but not so in politics. The National Conven- tion which met in Philadelphia in 1904 was a unit for the re-nomination of Mr. McKinley, but all at sea about the Vice-President. Roosevelt's independent and masterful administration of New York as Governor had made him so powerful that not to re-nominate him was to court defeat and to re-nominate him was equally dangerous on account of the hostility of the local organization all over the State. So there was a general assent to his being put on the ticket with McKinley for Vice-President. Mr. Roosevelt strenuously opposed it. He said, "The Vice-Presidency is a tomb and I will not be buried." By general consent a candidate was left to the New York delegation. Governor Odell was the leader of the delegation for convention purposes and I was elected its Chairman for routine duties. It was an historical hour when the New York delegation met. With fervent and eloquent speeches, Governor Roosevelt was placed in nomination. In a most emphatic speech he declined. The question was put to a vote and he was nominated unanimously. In great agitation he again declined. There was a small minority determined to put in the place a very popular member of the delegation but not of Vice-Presidential standing. So after further debate we nominated Roosevelt again, and when he again declined, I declared the meeting adjourned to prevent further action. The next morning he accepted. This was the crisis of his career. 102 Theodore Roosevelt. [April

In a few months after his inauguration, McKinley was assassi- nated, Roosevelt became President and gave to the country seven years of the most eventful and fruitful Presidential terms in our history. An incident of the convention may be of interest. There being no contests because the nominations were unanimously agreed upon, the orators of the convention had no opportunity of presenting the claims of various candidates, so they exhausted themselves and exhausted the audience by making practically the same speeches over and over again for Mr. McKinley and Governor Roosevelt. The crowd had ceased to listen and had begun to scrape the speakers down, when a western delegation came to me and said, "You never get out our way, and we would like to hear you speak." Roosevelt as a fellow delegate sat immediately in front of me. He turned around and said in his quick way, "Yes, yes, he will speak. He must give us something new; if these bores keep this up any longer it will beat the ticket." And he seized me and practically threw me upon the platform. It was one of those occasions where a story is the only salvation for a speaker. Near me sat a portentiously solemn United States Senator whose platitudinous speech had already been delivered three times. As I started the story he turned to the Chair- man and in a horrified and tragic voice said "Great Heavens ! The solemnity and dignity of this historic occasion is to be ruined by a story." Great and successful leadership requires many qualities. I have known, beginning with Lincoln, with considerable intimacy every President of the United States. None of them had all these qualities except Mr. Roosevelt. He was a born leader of men. His industry was phenomenal and he had in addition that intelligence in work which taught him where to find that which he wanted, and a marvelous sagacity which grasped, absorbed and utilized this material with the precision of a machine. He loved companionship and found time to enjoy his friends. When that friend left, he had contributed all he possessed to the materials useful to this great Executive. He might be a college professor, a United States Senator, a Foreign Ambassador, a State Governor, a Justice of the Supreme Court, a labor leader, a cowboy from the ranches, a hunter from the mountains, a traveler from over- seas, all were equally welcome and all equal contributors. In looking over the acts recommended and the laws passed during Roosevelt's administration, we find a mass of constructive work, of progress and reform, which gathers, condenses and puts in practice the accumulated necessities which had arisen since the close of the Civil War. We rejoiced in our marvelous prosperity at the same time that it was our greatest peril. A few masterful men were combining the industries of the country and had almost perfected the consolidation of its transportation. Roosevelt then, of his co-temporaries, with his unequaled insight into public opinion saw a gathering storm. He sensed an unrest which was culminating into dangerous hatred of success. He set about vigorously to correct these evils and sue- iglg.] Theodore Roosevelt. \OX

ceeded. His railway legislation did away with many of the abuses which had necessarily grown up with the rapid progress of railway building and consolidation. He put a curb on great Trusts and blocked the way of general monopoly. He incurred the bitter and venomous hostility of powerful interests in the financial world, in speculative circles and in the stock exchanges, but when he sent, as he was in the habit of doing, for captains of industry, he converted at least one of the ablest of them by putting in a sentence a pregnant truth, "Sir, you have to deal with me, now, or the mob later." For four hundred years, ever since Balboa, the Spanish explorer, crossing from the Atlantic saw nearby the Pacific, the world has tried to unite the two oceans across the Isthmus of Panama. Where the centuries had failed, Roosevelt succeeded. Except for his drastic action the Canal would not have been built. It may not be a moral or an ethical or a legal answer to the question but the reasons for Presi- dent Roosevelt's action are summed up in the remark of John Hay, his Secretary of State, to a delegation of objectors. It was : "We have the Canal." Mr. Roosevelt's explanation of the acquisition of the Panama Canal, made in a recent address on Mr. Choate, was characteristic. It was in no sense an apology; he never had occasion for that. He said, "In the effort to secure the land and a concession of the rights required for the construction of the Canal, there was a succession of negotiations resulting in agreement and then a breaking of the agreement by Colombia, with a demand for constantly increasing compensation. I made up my mind that the talking about the Canal might go on for fifty years without results, so I decided to secure for our country the Canal and let the people talk about me as they pleased for the next fifty years." The people so thoroughly appreciated the wise radicalism and the constructive work of his administration that they wished for him to violate the traditions against a third term. He had great difficulty in escaping the call and in nominating his selection for the office, Judge Taft. He threw himself into Taft's campaign with an energy and resistless force never surpassed in any Presidential canvass. His rare unselfishness was exhibited by his absenting himself immediately and for two years afterwards in the wilds of Africa in order that his overpowering personality might not embarrass the administration of his successor. He believed, and he had good reasons for believing, that a majority of the delegates elected to the convention from Republican constituencies in 1912 were for him and that they were thrown out and the majority reversed upon technical grounds. Whatever may be thought of his action in bolting the ticket, there never was such a demonstration of power by an individual. He was a private citizen without patronage, or the usual resources for propaganda. We are as a rule devoted to our parties and to their organizations and yet he polled four millions of votes, carrying a large majority of the party. The division thus created led to the election of Mr. Wilson and a Democratic Congress. But the second demon- Theodore Roosevelt. 1 04 [April

stration of marvelous individual power was when four years afterwards he disbanded this Progressive Party, and its four millions of votes, and united the Republican organization in support of the regular candidate, Governor Hughes. Two illustrations of his power have no parallel in the life of any Executive. War has now given absolute power to the United States Government to settle strikes through various Boards and arbitrary machinery. Roosevelt had none of these. The coal strike threatened a coal famine which would have paralyzed our industries and caused general distress. President Roosevelt summoned the employers, the mine owners, the operators and the leaders of the miners' union, and purely by his magnetism, force, personality and grasp of the situation brought about a settlement which opened the mines and continued for many years. He was the most vigorous of fighters, and if a fight was necessary believed in hitting hard and hitting to kill. But he saw the horrors of war and was ever ready to do his part to avert it. He grasped the danger there was to the peace of the world in the conflict between Russia and Japan. He summoned the representatives of the combatants to a conference. Without any authority whatever by legislation, but solely in the interest of humanity, he offered himself as an arbitrator and purely by his individual magnetism and influence upon others brought the commissioners of Russia and Japan to assent to an agreement, the details of which were largely suggested by himself. These two instances were almost miraculous. Mr. Roosevelt, on his way home from his hunting and exploration expedition in Africa, was received with signal honors, as if still President, by Great Britain, France and the Kaiser. He was hailed with the same enthusiasm and demonstrations which have greeted President Wilson, both in London and Paris. This most original of men could not help in a public speech pointing out any weakness in a nation, which he thought needed correction and explaining how the difficulty could be remedied. He had passed through Egypt, which at that time was seething with revolt or efforts at revolt against British rule. In his speech at Guildhall the ex-President said to his amazed audience, "You are in Egypt and I think rightfully there. You have difficulties, and greater ones are threatening. You should either govern Egypt or get out." If any other foreign statesman had made this amazing declaration to that audience, composed of the Cabinet and most eminent men of Great Britain, it would have been instantly resented. The British

are good sportsmen ; they recognized that the chief of sportsmen had frankly told the truth and they cheered. Mr. Roosevelt was received at the Sorbonne in Paris by an audience, which comprised the President of the Republic, the Prime Minister and his associates, members of the French Academy, and distinguished representatives of every department of French life. Again there was a successful trial of his extraordinary and characteristic audacity in telling the truth. He said substantially this, "You have every element of leadership among nations except in popula- Theodore Roosevelt. IO5 i 9 i 9 .] tion, which seems to be decreasing. The remedy is in your own hands. Stop race suicide." Again the assembly was shocked for the moment, and then cheered. Roosevelt had put his finger upon the one great danger of France: the general restriction of children to one child in a family. Mr. Roosevelt met the Kaiser, and with his intuitive knowledge of men understood his characteristics. If these had been equally grasped by statesmen of other free and liberal governments, this frightful war might have been averted. The Kaiser sent a German fleet to seize a port in Venezuela to enforce certain claims of German subjects against that country and its citizens. Roosevelt notified the Kaiser that the question in "dispute must be arbitrated. The Kaiser refused. President Roosevelt then notified the German Ambassador that Admiral Dewey and his fleet would sail for Venezuela within a week. The Kaiser again refused to arbitrate. The President then sent this message: "Admiral Dewey will sail day after tomorrow." The answer of the Kaiser was such an emphatic acceptance of the demand of the President of the United States that Roosevelt announced to the public in his grim and characteristic way—'The German Emperor, with his well-known desire for peace and justice, well withdraw his fleet and arbitrate all questions with Venezuela." public It was the President's psychology of public men and sentiment of foreign nations which led him to solve and settle threatened difficulties with Japan. Through the East specially, and of to a large degree in Europe, there was almost absolute ignorance the strength and power of the United States. The American battle array fleet was ordered to sail around the world. This formidable of war vessels of the most modern design and equipment and ready for immediate action produced a profound impression in all coun- power. tries. It was peace by demonstration of preparedness and that pre- It was the fundamental article in Roosevelt's creed paredness and power in a free and liberty-loving nation instead of provoking war promoted peace. We hear much of self-made men. But here was one born to in wealth and ease. He had a weak constitution of the kind which ordinary cases leads to careful idleness, but by the most strenuous the efforts of physical exercise, of roughing it on the ranch and in hunting field, in bouts with boxers, fencers and wrestlers he became one of the strongest of men. He had an impediment in his speech which he turned into fluency and from the beginning until the end his oratory grew in effectiveness and in power with the people. position He first among our public men saw what must be our in this world war. He found the great mass of his countrymen satisfied with their isolation and pacifists in sentiment, but in season and out of season he preached the preparedness and the peril to us at home and our institutions of the triumph of autocracy upon the his stirring field of battle in Europe. It was the wonderful effect of universal appeals which made it possible for the President to secure him- assent for the declaration of war.

ing what he preached and placing himself in the forefront of danger than in what he did when our country entered the war. He proposed to raise a division and go with it at once to France. That was denied, but he sent his four sons. When one of them was wounded and the other killed the pathetic answer of this bereaved patriot was, "Better so, than that they should not have gone." I was in the Senate during the whole of his Presidency and saw him nearly every day. It was a delight to visit the Executive office or to meet him in the closer associations of the White House. He was the most outspoken of public men. As I was entering his room one morning a Senator was coming out. This Senator had made some request of the President which had angered him. He shouted to me so the Senator could hear him and everybody else : "Do you know that man?" I answered "Yes, he is a colleague of mine in the Senate." "But," the President snouted, "he is a crook." Sub- sequent events proved the President correct and the man came within the clutches of the criminal law. I never knew such an omnivorous reader. He mastered all literature, past and present. Several times I called his attention to a book which had been sent me and was just on sale. He had already read it. Public men fear newspapers. I never knew one who would go out of his way to fight a great journal, or fight it at all. But I made a request of him once, on behalf of one of the greatest of newspapers, for a diplomatic appointment for one of its staff. The paper had never before made such a request, but he said, so the whole room, including all the reporters, could hear him, "That paper can expect nothing from me." Two of our ex-Presidents are still a force with their party and the people. They are Jefferson and Jackson. Jefferson's influence was because of his versatility, political forsight and literary talents, Jackson's by his iron will and command of men. Mr. Roosevelt united in himself all the power, talent and force of these two remarkable leaders. He was intensely human. He had no airs nor fads nor frills. His cordiality was infectious, his friendship never failed. No man of his generation has so long held public esteem and confidence with continuing admiration and expectation. His work in the world was great and greatly done. It is a commonplace when a great man dies to say: "It is not for his co-temporaries to pass judgment upon him, that must be left to posterity and to the historian after the passions of his time have been allayed." There are only two excep- tions to this maxim, one is Washington, the other is Roosevelt. The testimony at the time about Washington is the same as the judgment of posterity. With this magnificent fighter, this reckless crusader, this hard-hitter, the world is stilled and awed when the news of his death is flashed over wires and cables, but the instant voice of friend and enemy is the same. All recognize the purity of his mo- tives, the unselfishness of his work and his unadulterated Ameri- canism. His last expression sent to a public meeting in New York, — —

~~SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.~~

February 4, 1919. The Board of Trustees of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society takes great pleasure in announcing to its members and to the community, the receipt of a gift of $20,000 from Samuel Putnum Avery, Esquire, of Hartford, Conn., for the establishment of an Art Fund. The income from this fund to be used from time to time as opportunities present themselves to gather a collection of " portraits, views, surveys, records, manuscripts, autograph letters, etc." The collection, thus to be formed, will be confined along the lines of the deed of gift, to the gathering together of portraits (in oil, pastel or any other medium) of genealogical or biographical interest and also paintings, crayons, etchings, engravings, etc., which may have an interest in the realm of family and local history.

This collection is the first of the kind that we know of to be started in this city, and it is to be hoped that its origin, which is thus so substantially brought about by Mr. Avery, will become well known here and elsewhere, so that other patrons of art may recognize its value and be induced to contribute towards the en- largement of the fund, and so that the collection may at once assume importance in its special field. Members of the Society and others are urged to seriously consider donations to this collection of articles of genealogical or biographical interest that may be in their possession and which they may wish to have preserved for the benefit of posterity. An Art Committee has been appointed by the Society which will consider and act upon all gifts which may be tendered. It is to be hoped that this Collection will at once assume a dignified character and that the donations proffered will be of either intrinsic historic, genealogic, biographic, or local historic value.

Mr. Avery, who is himself a well known and acknowledged expert in the field of art, has kindly consented to be associated with others on the Art Committee of the Society, which fact will assure a discriminating and intelligent disbursement of the income from this fund. The Board of Trustees desires here to publicly record its sense of appreciation and gratitude to Mr. Avery for his handsome donation for the purpose of originating and establishing this Fund. IIO Christophers Family. [April

~~CHRISTOPHERS FAMILY~~

~~Contributed by John R. Totten, Member of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, the New England Historic-Genealogical Society, and the New London County Historical Society.~~

Owing to the prominence of this family in the early colonial days of Connecticut, and to the intermingling of the Christophers blood with the best blood of New London, Connecticut, and of Eastern Long Island, New York, and especially due to the fact that at present (in so far as I am informed) the male line is practically extinct, — I have deemed it desirable to perpetuate in printed record such information as I have collected relative to the origin of this family in

America ; and to show the lines of descent of those bearing the Chris- tophers surname, and (on account of the almost complete extinction of the male line) to show a more extensive than usual tracing of the Christophers strain of blood down the female lines of descent. Two brothers of the name of Christophers, both mariners, and both engaged in the shipping exchange trade with Barbadoes, settled in New London, Conn., about 1665. Their names were respectively Jeffrey and Christopher Christophers. Jeffrey, the elder, was aged fifty-five in 1676, and was therefore born about 1621. Christopher died July 23, 1687, aged fifty-six, and hence was born about 163 1. That they were brothers is conclusively established by documents on record in New London, wherein this relationship is specifically expressed. These brothers are supposed to have arrived in New London, either direct from England, or indirectly by way of Barbadoes. Savage, in his Genealogical Dictionary, states that Christopher Christophers brought his family to this country directly from Bar- badoes. On what authority he made this statement, I do not know, but it may well be so, as English colonists in those days, many of them, made Barbadoes their port of destination. But as Christopher 1 Christophers' son Richard 2 Christophers was born in Cherston- Ferrers, on Torbay, near Dartmouth, Devonshire, England, on July 13, 1662, and also in view of the fact that Christophe^Christophers appeared in New London in 1665,—it is evident that the stay of the brothers Jeffrey and Christopher in Barbadoes was only of short duration.

The parentage of these two brothers is not known, nor is the place of their residence in England known; but as Christopher1 Christophers had a son born in Cherston-Ferrers, Devonshire, Eng- land, that locality has been regarded as possibly their place of residence prior to emigration, although no definite information that such is the case, has to my knowledge up to the present time, been discovered. — —

The family, therefore, starts in this country with these two brothers of the first generation with no known connection with their probable mother country, England, viz. : 1 -f-i.

~~1 Jeffrey Christophers is supposed to have arrived in New Lon- don at about the same time as his brother Christopher 1 Christophers,~~

1665 J but his name does not appear on the records of that town at so early a date. He was a mariner and sailed from New London as master of his own ship, and was engaged in trade with Barbadoes. The commercial relations between New London and Barbadoes were more intimate than that of New London with any other dis- tant port. Two voyages were made by a vessel yearly. Horses, cattle, beef, pork and sometimes pipe-staves were exchanged for sugar and molasses ; and at a later period for rum. An interchange of inhabitants between the two places occasionally took place — —

~~112 Christophers Family. [April~~

Agencies from New London were established on the island and several persons emigrating from Barbadoes became permanent residents of New London. The Barbadoes trade was the most lucrative business of the period. Merchants of Hartford, Middletown and Wethersfield, Conn., made shipments from New London. Captains of vessels hailing from other towns often took their cargoes on at New London. The following receipt shows the comparative value of two of the principal articles of exchange, viz. :

"Barbadoes : — I, underwrit, do hereby acknowledge to have received of Mr. Jeffrey Christophers, one bl., of pork pr. account of Mr. Benjamin Brewster, the which I have sold for 300 lbs. of sugar, (sgd) Elisha Sanford, August 13th, 1671." "True copy of the receipt which was sent to Barbadoes by Mr. Giles Hamlin in the sh\pJo/w and James, October 29th, 1671. (sgd) Charles Hill, Recorder." Jeffrey 1 Christophers remained some years an inhabitant of

(before his father John 1 Corey appeared on Long 1 Island, N. Y., on March 7, 1644; his father John Corey signed a deed at Southold, N. Y., Oct. 11, 1660, in which he John 1 Corey quit claims for himself, wife Ann and son John 2 Corey all their respective interests in certain property. It would seem therefore that his eldest son John 2 Corey was of age at that date, but that Abraham 2 Corey, a younger son was not of age Oct. 11, 1660. We conclude therefore that he was

born subsequent to Oct. 11, 1639), at ; he lived at South- old, N. Y., and was a cooper; he died Sept. 11, 1702 (will dated May 19, 1702; proved Oct. 14, 1702), at Southold, N.

On Oct. 8, 1649, he was a resi dent of Southold; he and his wife Ann being witnesses to a deed there on that date. In 1659 he refused to take the oath of allegiance to New Haven; but subsequently in 1660 did take that oath. He, "Goodman" Corey was made a freeman of Connecticut in 1662. From Moore's Indexes of Southold, N. Y., p. 13, we extract 1 the following abstract of the chronological record of John Corey as taken from the records of that town:

1653: Perhaps in Europe (see 5 State Trials, p. 359). 1659: Refused to take oath of allegiance to New Haven Colony. 1659: March 9th, received deed from John Budd for home lot and land at Hashamomach, but was called a Quaker and objected to by his neighbors. 1660: Sued by John Conkling and John Budd, Jr., for letting hogs run at large. 1660: Took oath of allegiance to New Haven. 1660: Oct. 11.

From Pelletreau's Early Long Island Wills, p. '74, we have a copy of the will of John Sammis, of Huntington, L. I., N. Y., 2 dated Nov. 28, 1693. In this will the testator speaks of Abraham Corey and Isaac 2 Corey as "my brothers-in-law." This is ac- 1 counted for by the fact that Abigail 2 Corey, daughter of John Corey married John Sammis of Huntington. On pp. 256-60 of same book of wills, we find the full text of the will of Abraham2 Corey of Southold, N. Y. Will was dated May 19, 1702, and was proved Oct. 14, 1702. Witnesses: David Young, Joshua Young, Stephen Bailey. Executors: wife Mar- garet and sons Abraham and John. In this will he mentions his wife Margaret; his eldest son Abraham; his 2nd son John; his daughter Mary "now the wife of William Bradley, besides what 1 lent her at her first marriage;" his daughter Elizabeth, "now ye wife of Samuel Hutchinson;" his nephew [context shows that he means niece] Patience Mayhew (see record No. 12 of this article, daughter of Joanna 2 Christophers by her husband John Mayhew), "if she remain with my executors until she comes of age;" he also 3 3 makes it clear that neither his son Abraham nor John were 25 years old at date of the will May 19, 1702; mentions also his daughter Dorothy 3 Corey who was not married at date of will mentions also grandson Elijah Hutchinson. 1 In Vol. II, pp. 1 18-19, °f Southold Town Records, John Corey, Senior, deeds to his son Abraham 2 Corey all his interest in house and home-lot that he John1 Corey bought August 26, 1665, from Barnabas and Mary Winds of Southold; date of deed Sept. 6, 1680, and the transfer was recorded August 13, 1705, three years subsequent to Abraham2 Corey's death. 1 Southold Indexes, p. 13, states that John Corey probably married Margaret ? who was living in 1686 with 1 male and 2 females in her family. The deeds on record quoted above cer- —

Family. 1919.I Christophers 117 tainly show that John1 Corey had a wife Ann on Oct. 8, 1649. This wife Ann may have died subsequent to that date and John 1 Corey may have married a second wife named Margaret. But I do not think he did. I think that the Margaret Corey who in 1686 was living in Southold with 1 male and 2 females in her family was Margaret (Christophers) Corey, wife of Abraham 2 Corey. We have direct evidence that John 1 Corey had a wife Ann; but no evidence that he had a wife Margaret; whereas we 2 3 have direct evidence that Abraham Corey did marry Margaret Christophers. Margaret 2 (Christophers) Corey remained a widow as late as Sept. 14, 1705, as on that date she is deeded to under name of Mar- garet Corey and the deed was recorded Oct. 8, 1705. Margaret2 (Christophers) Corey, widow of Abraham2 Corey, married (2) (subsequent to Sept. 14, 1705), at Southold, N. Y., probably, to John Parker (or Packer), as his second wife (his first wife was Abigail (Tuthill) Conklin, widow of Joseph Conklin, and she died June 6, 1705, and was buried at Southold, N. of Y., June 8, 1705), born , 1657, about (see age at and date death), at ? he lived successively at Southampton, Southold and Riverhead, Long Island, N.

If he had other children they must have died previous to the date of the deed or else must have received their portions before the date of the deed,—as John Parker seems in said deed to have in the anticipation of death transferred all of his property to these two daughters. He does not in this deed, dated Jan. 4, 1726-7, even mention his wife Mar- garet, who was then living; the omission of all reference to her being due probably to some ante-nuptial agreement between John Parker and his wife Margaret2 (Christophers) Corey. Moreover in said deed he mentions no other children. gives the follow- Moore's Indexes of Southold, N. Y ., p. 142, ing as a list of John Parker's children, viz. :

The "Salmon Record of Deaths and Marriages in Southold," of which a careful copy of the original was published in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record (Vols. 47, 48 and 49), seems carefully to discriminate between the names Parr and Parker and in it the marriage of John Parr is recorded as taking place Dec. 9, 17 19, to Mary Corwin; thus differing to Moore's record as given above. Moore himself by his phraseology seems to be wholly in doubt as to what children John Parker had. The only one mentioned by him that seems to be correct is Abigail, who married Joseph Wickham and about her even he was in doubt as shown by his use of the word probably. All of which leads me to the assumption that no credence can be placed upon Moore's list of John Parker's children ; and to the belief that John Parker had but two children, the daughters mentioned above, Abigail and Mary. The following is the deed referred to, viz. :

~~From Vol. II, pages 91-92, of Southold Town Records.~~

The following is a note on John Parker taken from the printed Town Records of Southold: "John Parker, styled sometimes Doctor and often called 'Fuller,' was of the town of Southampton originally; he dwelt buried in therein' till near the close of his days, when, as he was the Wickham plot in the cemetery at Mattituck, he most likely died at the home of his daughter Abigail, the wife of Joseph Wickham, Corchang" [I doubt this last statement as to the place of his death as his wife Margaret was still living and did not die appears until June 19th, 1728.—J. R. T.] "His principal business to have been that of a fuller of cloth. In 1690 Southampton Town granted him the stream of either Great Noyac or Little Noyac to set up a fulling mill. In 1695 Southampton voted him the stream at Riverhead and all the land between the two rivers; he to build a fulling mill. In 1696 he sold his stream at Noyac for £70. January, 1726-7, the record speaks of his dwelling house at at Riverhead, the two rivers, his cedar swamp, etc. He had one time a grant of stream at the head of Sag Pond. His business yielded a large profit; the establishment at Riverhead was a great success. From indirect facts from the records it appears that he removed from "Southampton to Riverhead with his family; perhaps built the old mansion now the residence of John C. Sweezy and before him for a great many years occupied by Joseph Albertson. Dr. Parker had two children,—Abigail, who married Joseph Wickham and Mary, who married William Albertson: to his them went all his lands, mills and money. To Abagail he gave lands north of Peconic River, besides other lands. He owned the Court House "Jagger Farms" in the village of Riverhead ; the old built in 1727 stood, and still stands upon it; the Jagger Farms went from the bay to the sound. To Mary and the Albertsons he left the stream of water and mills at Riverhead and also large tracts of land. The monument erected to the memory of Dr. Parker may be found in the Mattituck Cemetery about 15 rods south westerly from the Church, a modest little brownstone about two feet high with his name, age and date of death inscribed upon Case." it (Signed) J.

Savage's Genealogical Dictionary of New England, Vol I, p. 1 383, referring to Jeffery Christophers, states : "He removed in old age with two daughters, living 1700, in Southold, L. I., Margaret married Abraham Corey; Joanna married Dec. 25, 1676, John Mayhew of New London and the other daughter married a Packer of Southold."

~~1 Caulkins' History of New London, p. 316, speaking of Jeffery Christophers, states :~~

"Three daughters are mentioned : Joanna, wife of John May- hew ; Margaret, wife of Abraham Corey, of Southold, and the wife of a Mr. Parker, or Packer, of the same place. In 1700 Jeffery 1 Christophers was living at Southold, with one of these daughters." Savage was published in i860 and probably copied his notes on the Christophers family from Caulkins' History of New Lon- don which was published in 1852. Miss Caulkins, although a very careful and painstaking compiler, made an error in stating that "three daughters are mentioned"—she laboring at the time of writing under the impression that the daughter who married Abraham Corey was not the same daughter who married "Mr. Parker, or Packer, of the same place." The facts are that the daughter who married John Parker was Margaret 2 Christophers-Corey, who after the death of Abraham Corey on Sept. 11, 1702, married a second time subsequent to Sept. 14, 1705, to John Parker of Southold, N. Y., as his second wife. This disposes of the confusion of authors in assigning to Jef- fery 1 Christophers three daughters. He had only two, viz. Joanna 2 and Margaret. 2 Third Generation. 8 2 1 7.

~~Joshua Youngs married (1) , about 1707, to ? by~~

whom he had 1 son John Youngs, born , 1708; died June 17, 1708; and his first wife died probably that same year. From the Youngs Family, by Selah Youngs, Jr. (published New York, 1907), on pp. 85-6 we obtain the following extract: "Judge Joshua Youngs' name appears on a stone in the Sterling Cemetery (erected to the memory of his son Thomas Youngs, who died in 1793) as the son of Zerubbable, son of Col. John Youngs. This is the only record to show that there was such a Zerubbable Youngs, and from the records of Joshua as given under John, No. 27, is evidently an error. It doubtless happened partly because of the long lapse of time (one hundred and eight years from the death of Joshua's father to the death of Joshua's son Thomas) and partly because no family records had been preserved; but mainly because of an entry in the manuscript Southold Town Records which they probably had seen, and which later Mr. Charles B. Moore in collecting the material for his Indexes of 1698 found, and which he says he read as "John Youngs, sonn Zofossbel Yongs born the 16th of May 1664." [See Southold MSS. Town Records, Vol. I, page 463.] Suppos- ing this to mean Zerubbable, he thought it confirmed the record on the stone, placed him (Zerubbable) as the son of Col. John, but when the town records were published and this entry read, "John Yongs sonn to Joseph (Joseph instead of Zofossbel), Mr. Moore in his private copy of the Indexes struck out the birth date and by an addition made Joshua to be the 'son of Zerubbable or of John'."

was alive May 19, 1702), at . I do not know whether she married or not. In the will of Abraham Corey, of Southold, N. Y., dated May 19, 1702, her uncle by marriage, she is shown on that date to have been living in Southold with her aunt Margaret 2 (Christophers) Corey (wife of Abraham Corey). The name Patience as a baptismal name is of quite rare occur- rence in the early records of Southold. Patience 3 Mayhew apparently disappears entirely from the records of the town after the above quoted references. While not by any means positively asserting it, it seems that possibly she may have been the first wife Christophers Family. 1 25 , gIg .]

~~126 Christophers Family. [April~~

Corey who married Willoughby Lynde was the daughter of Abra- ham and Mary (Paine) Corey. Margaret (Corey) Lynde's birth date is entered in an ancient King Manuscript compiled by Ensign John King in his own family record as June 22, 1714. From this fact taken in connection with the fact that two of Ensign John King's children were named respectively Margaret and Abraham (after their grandparents Abraham and Margaret 2 (Christophers) 4 Corey),— I have placed the two children Mary (Corey) King and Margaret* (Corey) Lynde as children of Abraham3 Corey by his wife Mary Paine. Moreover, Abraham Corey who married Mar- garet 2 Christophers died in 1702 and could not be the father of a Margaret Corey born June 22, 1714. Griffin, however, states that Mary (Corey) King was a granddaughter of Jacob 2 Corey 1 (John ). For the above reason I think Griffin in error.

He was also one of the original patentees of the Holland Land Company. The Willinks had a summer residence in Flatbush, Long Island, N. Y. Being childless, they adopted Miss Maria P. Selleck (who by marriage became Mrs. W. K. James). After Mr. Willink's death the family removed to Norwalk, Conn. Mrs. James inherited all the property of her mother and her mother's sister (Elizabeth6 Ludlow), and by her will she bequeathed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City a collection of valuable an- tique porcelains, furniture and costumes, some of which had been preserved in the Ludlow family for nearly two centuries (see Bulletin of the Metro- politan Museum of Art, Vol. VI, No. 4, April, 1911). Mrs. James also erected at East Norwalk, Conn., in 1895 the "Ludlow Stone," a memorial to Roger Ludlow, the Framer of the first Constitu- tion of the State and Deputy Governor of Connec- ticut. The two daughters of Charles 5 Ludlow 6 6 (Cornelia Ann and Elizabeth ) caused to be erected the "Ludlow and Willinck Hall" at St. Stephen's College, Annandale, New York State, the corner-stone of which was laid by the Rt. Rev. Samuel Roosevelt, S.T.D., on June 13, 1866, the aniversary of the birthday of the elder sister, Cor- nelia Ann 6 Ludlow. Children: (Willink) none.

Jacob Morton's grandfather was John Morton, who resided at Dawson's Bridge, Castle Dawson, County Antrim, Ireland. Gen. Jacob Morton's father, John Morton, came to America with the British forces in 1760, and in 1761 m. in New York City, Maria Sophia Kemper, and became a banker at No. 9 State Street, New York City. He was called by the British "The Rebel Banker," because he loaned large sums to the Continental Congress. His son, Gen. Jacob Morton, occupied the house after his marriage in 1791 and commanded the Militia. From the balcony of this house, long after he became too infirm to command in person, he reviewed on the Battery Parade Ground the Tompkins Blues and the Light Guards.

1. Bartholomew, of whom hereafter. . his 2. Pierre or Pieter, the second son of Petrus Le Roux, accompanied elder brother Bartholomew to New York in 1688. The records of the Genealogical Reformed Dutch Church (see vol. 1, p. 73, New York and Biographical Society's Collections) states that "Pieter Leroux, j.m.

County), mentions his his brother Bartholomew, his eldest son Pieter, and other children, but gives no further names. from London at 3. Andrew, the third son of Petrus, who also emigrated the same time with his elder brothers Bartholomew and Pieter, married 152 GabrieP Ludlow (1663-1736) and his Descendants. [April

(see Records of the Reformed Dutch Church, vol. 1, p. 79, New York Genealogical and Biographical Society's Collections), the widow Cor- nelia Disselton on April 20, 1695. No children are recorded. 4. The fourth son of Petrus was John, styled the "Captain." He was a witness to the Will of John Mitchell, March 9, 1695 (Liber 5 of Wills, p. 85, N. Y. County). He never married. 1. Bartholomew Le Roux was b. in Amsterdam, Holland, not earlier than 1660 nor later than 1665. Like his father, he was a goldsmith. He landed in New York 1688-1689. We find that, on Dec. 30, 1693, he purchased for his residence lot number 27 upon the southwest corner of Broadway and Beaver Lane (now Morris Street), a site now and for many years covered by the Stevens House. The grantors in the deed were Pieter Synkam and wife Deborah. The plot extended four rods along Broadway and to "the Strand" or shore of the river. (Liber 18, p. 268, N. Y. C.) The records of the Reformed Dutch Church of New York (see vol. 1, p. 66, New York Genealogical and Biographical So- ciety's Collections) furnish certain facts relating to his marriage in these words: "Bartholomews Le Roux, j.m. [young man] Van London, en Geertruyd Van Rollegom, j.d. [young woman] Van N. Yorck, beyde wonende alhier. Ingeschreven [banns published] Nov. 16, 1688. Getroiiwt [married] Dec. 14, 1688." She was the daughter of Jan Joosten Van Rollegom and his Vrouw [wife] Tryntje Jans van Har- denbergh, who were married June 4, 1660. Geertruyd was baptized in the Dutch Church, Feb. 22, 1668, and was the fifth child of her parents. The names and dates of baptism of their other children will be found in the Records of the Reformed Dutch Church (see vol. II, New York Genealogical and Biographical Society's Collections). Bartholomew Le Roux was a man of substance and probity and was trusted by all. In his day a goldsmith was necessarily a banker (there being no other repositories for safe keeping of jewels and money) as well as a member of a powerful and honorable Guild. He enjoyed the confidence and friendship of Anthony Lispenard (or Lepinard as then spelt), who made Bartholomew Le Roux the executor of his will and guardian of his children (Liber 5 of Wills, p. 126, N. Y. C). In an affidavit signed Dec. 7, 1702, at the house of John Hutchins, relative to certain addresses made to the Eng- lish Governor, he styles himself "Bartholomew LeRoux, Goldsmith, New York." He died in Aug., 1713, at his residence, Broadway and Beaver Lane. His will, dated July 10, 1713, proved Aug. 28, 1713, mentions his wife Geertruyd and his eldest son Charles and makes them executors and the Codicil refers to his second son John and other children unnamed. In this Will (Liber of Wills, 8, p. 226, N. Y. C.) he styles himself silversmith and provides that his widow is to have the use of all his estate to assist her in bringing up his children, and that, after the widow's decease, the estate is to be divided among the children. The witnesses to the Will are Robert Darkins, Cornelius Lodge and John Conrad Codwise. A Codicil confirms the Will. A list of his children is supplied by the Records of the Reformed Dutch Church (see vol. II, New York Genealogical and Biographical Society's Collections). 1.

The Will makes Thomas Ludlow Ogden and Charles L. Ogden trustees and executors. It disposes of "the house where I now reside, situate adjoining Pine Street, being the same I purchased of Samuel J. Borrowe," it also makes a provision for "my sister Gertrude Doughty of Morris (i. e., Morristown, N.

~~THE CLOWES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND.~~

~~Compiled by Charles J. Werner, Island. mainly from records left by Benjamin F. Thompson, Historian of Long~~

Samuel Clowes, 1 counsellor-at-law, was b. in Derbyshire, Eng- land, March 16, 1674. While yet in England he received instruction in mathematics from the celebrated Flamstead, for whose use Green- wich Observatory was erected. He arrived at New York in 1697 and in 1702 removed to Jamaica, Long Island, in the company of Lord Cornbury, Governor of the Province, who left New York tempo- rarily, to escape the ravages of a malignant fever then prevailing in the metropolis. Thompson states that he was the first lawyer to settle and practise on Long Island. Whether this is so or not, it is certain that he was an able practitioner and was connected with many important cases. The first mention of him in the Jamaica Town Records is under date of Jan. 31, 1703-4, when "The Towne did give to Mr. Samuel Clowes free liberty for gettinge stones clay for brick timbers shells for lime sofitiant for buldinge upon a pece of land that he is byeing from Samuel Mills to be gotton upon the comons." It would seem as if this was the commencement of a dwelling. On April 4, 1704, he is spoken of as "clerk of the peace," and makes an entry as such. Soon after his arrival at Jamaica he was chosen clerk of the county Island. [Ap ril I c 8 The Clowes Family of Long and officiated as such until 17 10, when his legal business grew so large that he was forced to relinquish the office. During the time of his residence at Jamaica there is hardly a deed spread upon the Town Records which does not contain his name as witness and conveyancer. Surveying was also in his line and his surveys of land are met with in both the Jamaica and Hempstead Town Records ; in fact, he did quite a little professional work which is spread upon the Records of the last named town. On a tax list of 1708-9, he is assessed for 4 shillings, 10 pence, 2 farthings and 4 "wampon."* He is spoken of as "Mr.," and was one of only two so mentioned on this list. Tax list of another date in same year, Samuel Clowes, clerk, is assessed for 7 shillings, 6 pence. At a town meeting, April 4, 1727, Samuel Clowes was appointed a trustee of highways. Two negroes belonging to Mr. Sam- uel Clowes were baptized on May 2$, 17 14. Their names were James and Sarah. Samuel Clowes was prominently identified with the Episcopal

Church at Jamaica ; in fact, was one of the founders of the congregation in 1702, when Lord Cornbury dispossessed the Presbyterians from their edifice and gave it to the Church of England. In 1734, the Episcopalians had completed a building of their own and on April 5 of that year, the dedication service was held.f On this occasion, Mr. Clowes provided an entertainment for the visiting dignitaries. Thompson, in his History of Long Island, speaks of it as follows : "At its dedication, Gov. Cosby, his lady and family, the council, with many ladies and gentlemen from the city, honored the occasion with their presence, when a splendid entertainment was given by Samuel Clowes, an eminent lawyer residing in the village. The militia were under arms to attend his excellency and the concourse of citizens was great." Thirteen years later (Oct. 10, 1747) 1300 lottery tickets or chances at 8 shillings each, were sold to defray the cost of a bell for the church. Again Mr. Clowes officiated, he together with Jacob Ogden, drawing the lucky tickets. Most members of the Clowes family have adhered to the Church of England, therefor may we not call it an Episcopal family? It is interesting to note, that many years later, Samuel Clowes' great- great-grandson Rev. Timothy Clowes, J was rector of this church for a short time. On April 17, 1712, Samuel Clowes completed a survey of the commons lands of the town of Hempstead, situated on the "Great Plains" or Hempstead Plains as they are spoken of today. These lands at this time consisted of 6,213 acres and a copy of the survey, signed by Clowes, was spread upon the town records, where it may be seen today. The original trees and other bound marks are all located on the survey and it is certainly an interesting document. The common lands or commons, used for grazing domestic animals,

adjuncts to the early agriculture and other purposes, were important of the surveying settlements on Long Island. Mr. Clowes did most seems to have been the only in Jamaica and Hempstead, indeed, he one so favored during his lifetime. Clowes was an important man It may be truthfully said that Mr. adherent of the colonial gov- in Queens County. He was a strong of the Church of Eng- ernors and the constituted authorities—also those who turned the Presby- land It is said that he was one of orders from Lord Corn- terians out of their church in Jamaica, under bury, in 1702. Samuel Clowes md. Catharine Donne, July 18, 1698, the year aged before his emigration to America. She d. Aug. 7, 1740, 57, the and he on Aug. 27, 1760, aged 86. When advanced to practising law. Both age of 73 he was still drawing deeds and Samuel Clowes and his wife are buried in the Episcopal church-yard another pew at Jamaica. His pew in Grace Church was Number 9, members of the 21, also was in his name and was probably used by for family. This was in 1737 and he paid 16 sh. 10 d. and 14 sh. 6d. 1 the two pews respectively. The children of Samuel Clowes were: 2 2 Gerardus, 2 Samuel, 2 John, 2 Peter, 2 Joseph, Catharine first, Cath- 2 2 2 2 follows arine second, Mary, Aletta, and Millecent. Of whom as Children of Samuel 1 and Catharine Clowes.

2 at York. I. Gerardus, eldest son, b. April 27, 1699, probably New He spent his early life at Jamaica and is first mentioned in the Records under date of April 25, 1719, when he appears as witness for to a deed from Rev. Thomas Poyer* to James Smith of Jamaica Clerk a parcel of upland in that town. Thompson states that he was of Orange County, N. Y., in 1721-22. On Oct. 19, 1719, he md Sarah, dau. of Major Thomas Jones, ancestor of the Jones family of Long Island. She was b. May 11, 1703, and d. . Gerardus Clowes, 2 d. Oct. 12, 1752, at Hempstead. His children were: Catha- 3 3 rine, 3 Samuel, 3 Timothy Bagley, and John.

The first mention of Gerardus Clowes in the Hempstead town for land records is on April 1, 1730, when he is a witness to a deed in the town. After this date his name is frequently met with, mostly as witness to deeds. It is probable that he came to Hempstead a few years previous to 1730. He evidently was a real estate conveyancer and may have been a lawyer. He was Clerk of the Vestry of St. George's Episcopal Church at Hempstead and signed himself as such, in a petition for incorporating the church, addressed to the Governor and Council of the Province of New York. Mr. Clowes was evidently something of a schoolmaster also, as witness the following mention made of him by Rev. Robert Jenney, rector of St. Georges, 1726-1742:

* Rev. Thomas Poyer was the second settled rector of Grace Episcopal Church in Jamaica, officiating from 1710 to 1732. He kept a registry of baptisms, marriages and burials from which several of the entries in this book are taken. ;

"There is in the town spot Mr. Clowes, who about three-quarters of a year ago began a school, and spent the Sunday evenings in catechizing those negroes which would go to him during the winter but in summer he has no time, the evenings being short and the day taken up with the service in the church being twice performed, and then there went but a few to be instructed by him." "At my first coming here several of the leading men of the town pressed me earnestly to represent to the Society the necessity of a successor to Mr. Gildersleeve (schoolmaster). I enclose a memorial recommending Mr. Clowes. He is the son of a very active friend of the missionaries, Mr. Samuel Clowes, of Jamaica, whose services, especially to the two parishes of Hempstead and Jamaica, are upon record."

II. Samuel, 2 b. 1701, probably at New York, was a lawyer and lived at Jamaica. He md. a dau. of Gov. George Clarke* of N. Y. Province, and d. aged 58 on May 19, 1759 at Jamaica. He is buried in the Episcopal church-yard at that place, where his parents also rest. First mention of him in the Jamaica Town Records is under date of April 5, 1740, when he was chosen Surveyor and Overseer of the town highways, a position to which he was again appointed on April 2, 1745. It will be seen that his father outlived him by a year and three months. In 1737, he held pew 10 in Grace Church, Jamaica, for which he paid 11 sh., 6 d. Like his father, he frequently appears on the Records as a witness to deeds.

III. John, 2 became a physician and removed to the State of Dela- ware sometime after 1723. In that year he appears as witness to a deed from Edward Willet to Robert Denton of Jamaica for 10^4 acres at a place called Freeman farm in the town of Jamaica.

~~2 IV. Peter, was bapt. by Rev. Thomas Poyer at Jamaica, Jan. 10, 2 171 1. Thompson states that he, together with his brother Joseph, removed from Long Island but does not say where they went.~~

2 V. Joseph, was bapt. by Rev. Thomas Poyer at Jamaica on Sept. 20, 171 5. Thompson states that, together with his brother Peter, 2 he removed from Long Island, but does not say where they went. Be that as it may, he is buried in the Episcopal church-yard at Jamaica and d. Oct. 15, 1755. He probably was unmd., as no mention is made of a marriage or baptism of children, in the church records which were carefully kept during his lifetime.

2 VI. Aletta, was probably b. at New York. On May 9, 1722, she md. Edward Willetf at Jamaica. She was the mother of 13 children among whom was Col. Marinus Willett 3 the Revolutionary hero. Col.

2 VIII. Catharine, first, was bapt. at Jamaica by Rev. Thomas Poyer, Oct. 21, 1713, according to his own record. The same clergyman records the burial of Catharine, dau. of Samuel and Catharine Clowes 2 on Feb. 10, 1710, at Jamaica. Catharine, second, was bapt. at Jamaica, by Rev. Poyer, Sept. 9, 1718, and a Catharine, dau. of Sam- uel and Catharine Clowes, was buried Jan. 19, 1713, at Jamaica ; both entries being made by Rev. Poyer. Either there were four infants of this name born, or else Rev. Poyer has made an error in his dates. There are no other entries concerning these children in the church records, nor do their tombstones appear in the list made by Henry Onderdonk, Jr., in 1846, when he took a census of the Episcopal church-yard.

5 I. Timothy, b. March 18, 1787, at Hempstead; md. Mary S., dau. of Benjamin Hewlett, May 30, 1822 ; d. June 19, 1847, age ^ sixty, at Hempstead. He attended Columbia College and graduated in 1808. Although an Episcopal clergyman, he devoted most of his life to academical instruction, in which profession he was extremely successful. He was ordained Nov. 30, 1808, and his first charge was

St. Matthew's Church, Jersey City, N. J. During the latter part of 1809 he officiated at Grace Church, Jamaica, with which church his ancestor Samuel Clowes was so prominently connected. In April, 1810, he was chosen rector of St. Peter's Church, Albany, N. Y., where he labored for seven years. At the end of this time he opened a classical seminary in his native town of Hempstead, which continued for three years with much success. In 182 1 he became principal of the well-knov/n Erasmus Hall Academy at Flatbush, where he remained for three years. In 1823 he was called to the Presidency of Washington College, Maryland, and to the rectorate of the Church at Chesfertown in that state. Here he remained until the college was destroyed by fire in 1829. During this year, Dr. Clowes (he had received the degree of LL.D.) again opened a school at Hempstead which he maintained until 1838, when he was invited to preside over the Clinton Liberal Institute at Clinton, N. Y., and did so until 1842. From 1842 until 1846 he was in charge of a High School in Phila- delphia. During the latter year he returned again to Hempstead and died there on June 19, 1847, aged sixty. Dr. Clowes was a man whose life and achievements have so far not received the attention they merit from historians and biographers. He was a teacher of the highest type and his cultivated mind was that of a Christian gentleman. His friend, Benjamin F. Thompson, historian of Long Island, and source of these genealogies, said of him: "He was confessedly one of the best linguists and mathema- ticians of the day. Indeed, his discoveries and improvements in the latter science were most extraordinary." During his lifetime, he published several books of an educational and religious character and also started a magazine called The Schoolmaster in 1830. In connection with his renown as a mathe- matician, it is interesting to note that his ancestor Samuel Clowes, first of the name on Long Island, also excelled in this science. Dr. Timothy Clowes' children were:

~~6 1. Benjamin Hewlett, b. Feb. 28, 1826. 6 2. Joseph, b. May 17, 1828. 6 3. Elizabeth Emma, b. April 14, 1837. 6 4. George Guthrie, b. June 17, 1842.~~

He was vestryman of Mr. St. George's Church, Hempstead, from 1837 to 1839. In 1840 Clowes removed to Hartwood, N. Y., where his wife died. She was buried at Monticello, N. Y. At Hartwood, Mr. Clowes erected three sawmills using water power, and embarked in the business of selling lumber. His mother resided with him at Hartwood during part of his stay there. He also held the office of postmaster. Mr. Clowes had the following children 6 wife, 1. Lydia Moore, named after her mother's brother's Lydia Moore, who md. Rev. William H. Hart. 6 2.

~~17 This entry was written so poorly and the ink faded so rapidly, that in~~

later years they could not find it. It is repeated as entry 556. 18 The recorder first wrote the name "Jenneke" and then crossed it out. The date of birth was written by the Rev. Ralph A. Westervelt, pastor 1802 to 1808. 19 Entries 291, 292, 294, 295, 296 and 297 are very much faded. The names of the parents and children and the dates of births, have been traced in ink over the original writing, thereby removing any opportunity to decipher what was written underneath. | Manuscript illegible. 1

Every gleaner in the field of genealogical research has met with errors in printed volumes which, left by themselves, carry mistaken conclusions to the end of time. This department has been inaugurated in an endeavor to correct such spurious data. Readers are requested to forward for publication here every such error, and such further additions to printed genealogies as are found, that due correction may be made. The authority for the statemen must be furnished, with name and address of contributor.

75. Morris—Anderson.—Corrections and Additions. The following notes concerning the Morris family of New York City amplify and correct the two articles on this family previously published in the N. Y. Gen. and Biog. Record. The fact that there were two contemporaneous Isaac Morrises made the problem of placing each a difficult one, and without the aid of the old New York City Directories it would have been quite impossible of solution.

The Report of the New York State Historian, vol, i, p. 530, cites the service of a George Morris, in 171 5, in New Jersey, Third Company, Col. Thomas Ffarmer's Regiment. This was probably the George 1 Morris of the previous article in the Record. The three sons of this George 1 Morris's son, Isaac 2 Morris, married and settled in New York City. They were David, 8 Abra- ham 3 and Jacob. 3 The line of David 3 has been carried down one generation in the previous article entitled "Notes Concerning the Morris Family of English Neighborhood, N. J., and of Tappan, N. 7 Y." (A . Y. Gen. and Biog. Record, vol. xlv, p. 361). All three of these 2 sons of Isaac Morris were firemen in New York in 1769, 1771 and 1772 (Minutes of the Common Council, vol. vii); and David 3 and 3 Jacob served as firemen during the Revolution, in 1776, at least. {Calendar of N. Y. Historical Manuscripts, vol. i, p. 315.) 3 Abraham Morris married Jan. 13, 1760, Maria Marschalk, and their children, bapt. in the Dutch Reformed Church, New York, 4 were:—Catherine, 1761; Abraham, 4 1762; Isaac,4 May 26, 1765; 4 4 Jacob, 1768; Peter, 1770; Maria, 4 1773. The name of the father, 3 Abraham, does not seem to appear in New York on the records after Revolutionary times, and perhaps he returned to New Jersey. [April 1 94 Corrections and Additions to Published Genealogical Works.

His sons Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, however, remained in New York, and Abraham 4 and Jacob4 had children and grandchildren baptized in the Dutch Church. If it were not for the old Psalm Book, now in possession of William Robert Stewart, which gives the date of birth of the children of Isaac, 4 son of Jacob, 8 and the early New York City directories, already mentioned, it would have been impossible to distinguish these two families one from the other. It will be noted that David 3 did not repeat the Morris family names. His sons were John, 4 William Henry4 and David. 4 Abraham A. 4 Morris, son of Abraham, 3 married Hannah Van Imburgh. There is no marriage on record in New York for his 4 brother Isaac, but they were both living, in 1800, at 55 Church street. (N. Y. Directory, 1800.) 8 3 1 Jacob Morris (Isaac, George ), married Eleanor Edwards, Jan. 9, 1765, and not 1764 as given in the N. Y. Gen. and Biog. Record, vol. xlv, p. 361. (N. Y. Marriages, p. 272, and Dutch Re/. Church Marriages, N. Y., p. 219.) There is, without doubt, an error in the computation of the date of birth of their first child Isaac, as given in the Psalm Book. This book was the property of Eliza- beth Anderson and was probably presented* to her in 1784, and before her marriage. It is not a Bible as stated in the N. Y. Gen. and Biog. Record, vol. xlviii, p. 76, but is entitled The Psalms oj David, with the Ten Commandments, Creed, Lords Prayer [etc.]. For the use of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of the City of New York. Printed by James Parker at the New Printing Office in Beaver Street MDCCLXVII. On the first fly leaf is written in a beautiful handwriting, "Elizabeth Anderson. Her Book, Anno Domini 1784, Oct. 20th." Above this (which occupies three lines) is written in another hand, and smaller, fitting in between the large E and A, " Isaac Morris." On another fly leaf, in another writing, is entered, " Elizabeth Anderson, New York." This last writing seems to be identical with the earlier entries in the record, beginning with the birth of Isaac4 Morris (which was undoubtedly wrongly computed by the one who made the entries) and ending with the statement "In 1794, August 5th, they had a son Born" "whose name was Jacob. Lived to a good age," is added in pencil, in what looks like, to her descendants, the writing of the daughter and the youngest of the children of Isaac and Elizabeth (Anderson) Morris, viz. Maria Elizabeth. The birth of this Maria Elizabeth was apparently entered by Mr. William R. Stewart, and he thinks it was done at the instigation of his mother. The point which it has been endeavored to make clear, is that the first entry, the date of birth of Isaac Morris, oldest son of Jacob and Eleanor Morris, was computed wrongly, being in December, the last month of the year 1765, and not 1764 as given in the

~~Psalm Book. He was baptized Oct. 5, 1766 {Church Record).~~

T^HE NEW YORK GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY 1 conducts a department for the purpose of examining, approving and publishing pedigrees of individual applicants. The Society will accept for examination the pedigree of ANY INDI- VIDUAL, whether a member of the Society or not. Those desiring to take advantage of the facilities thus offered should apply to the Society for the authorized blank form on which to record the pedigree to be submitted for examination (enclosing 50 cents in payment for the blank). Applicants must either themselves, or with the assistance of professional genealogists, fill in the form as indicated and return the same to this Society for examination; it being understood that the regular charges made by this Society are for examination and publication of the pedigree, and do not include genealogical research in the preparation of the pedigree itself. When a pedigree is submitted for examination the applicant must send with it a preliminary fee of $15.00. Upon the receipt of a pedigree and this preliminary

fee, the pedigree will be examined ; and if approved, it will be subsequently published, first in an issue of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, and the applicant will receive 2 copies of the Record containing the pedigree without further charge. The pedigree will thereafter (when a sufficient number have accumulated) be published in a volume of a series, one volume of which has already been issued (see Vol. VI, New York Genealogical and Bio- sold those graphical Society's Collections) ; and copies of this volume will be to whose pedigrees are contained therein at the special price of $5.00 a volume. Pedigrees must be submitted to the Society in form complete for publication. If, upon examination by the Society, essential facts are added to the pedigree by the examiner, a nominal fee, not to exceed $5.00, will be charged by the Society for ascertaining and embodying such additional information in the pedigree. If upon examination the pedigree is found to be essentially inaccurate, it will

not be approved and will be returned to the applicant ; and the preliminary fee will be refunded, less a charge of $10.00 for expert examination. If, when finally examined, approved and prepared for publication, the pedigree is found to require more than one page for its proper presentation, the fee for publishing the same, as above explained, will be at the rate of $15.00 a page (pages to be similar in size and form to those of pedigrees heretofore published in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record,—see issues from April, 191 1, to date of this issue), but, in adjusting the final charge, credit for the payment of the preliminary fee of $15.00 will be given to the applicant. For the benefit of applicants desiring extra copies of their pedigrees for family distribution, editions of 50 copies of such pedigrees will be supplied on 4-page folders of linen ledger paper, with space left for additional notes, for a fee of $5.00. Individuals desiring their pedigrees prepared for examination, approval and later publication by this Society, and who are unfamiliar with the methods to pursue to secure the necessary information to establish such pedigrees, or who are unable to devote the required time to their preparation,—are invited to address this Society with a view to being put in communication with a professional genealogist capable of establishing and submitting them (when established) in proper form to this Society for publication. Applications for examination, approval and publishing pedigrees under the condition hereabove set forth should be made to the NEW YORK GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY, 226 West 58TH Street, New York City. — — :

The meeting was called to order at 8.40 P. M., President Bowen in the Chair. Mr. Bowen presented the following Preamble and Resolution on the death of our late Honorary Member, Theodore Roosevelt Whereas, Theodore Roosevelt, who was born in New York, October 27, 1858, and was elected in 1881 a member of The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society and became an Honorary Member in 1902. died at his home on Long Island, January 6, 1919.
