Captain Jared Mansfield, who had been appointed by President Jefferson, Surveyor General of Ohio and the Northwest Territory. Totten re-entered the Corps in 1808. where he remained until his death, April 22, 1864. He was an authority on sea coast fortifications, and as a member of the first Permanent Board of Engineers (established in 1816) he laid down principles of coast defense construction which were followed for more than a century. His service covered three wars, the War of 1812, Mexican War, and the Civil War. He served 26 years as Chief Engineer. 1838-1864. the longest on record. As Chief of Engineers during the Civil War he supervised the defensive works around Washington. On the day before he died he was brevetted a Major General by Congress "for long, faithful and eminent service". Edward B. Russell Curator. US Army Engineer Museum _,1­ _ I ·PIPELINE.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission September 24, 1974, Number 5 LP-0826 FORT TOTTEN BATTERY, U. S. Government Reservation, Willets Point, Bayside, Queens. Built 1362-1864; Supervising Engineer: !'Jilliam Petit Trowbridge. Landmark Site: Borough of Queens Tax ~1ap Block 5917, Lot 1, in part, consisting of the land on which the described improvement is situated. On September 25, 1973, the Landmarks Preservation CoMmission held a ,public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Fort Toften Battery and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 8). The hear­ ing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. A representative of the United States Army testified as to the current status of the Battery. There were no speakers in opposition to desienation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Fort Totten Battery is one of the most impressive and monumental sights in Queens. Its superior stone construction, rarely surpassed in this country, con­ tains a number of the important innovations used in the Third or Totten System of United States seacoast fortifications that were built between 1817 and 1864. The First System of seacoast fortifications was begun in 1794 when it seemed that the United States might be drawn into the European wars that followed the French Revolution. The Second System, which started in 1807 under the threat of war with Britain and ended with the l'Tar of 1812, is important because it marks the first time that American-born and trained engineers built fortifications on a large scale. Unlike the first two systems which had been built in response to external threats, the Third System of seacoast fortifications was begun in 1817 during a period of peace.

  • Joseph Gilbert Totten
    MEMOIE JOSEPH GILBERT TOTTEN. 1788-1864. BY J. G. BARNARD. BEAD AT THE •WASHINGTON SESSION, JAN. 0,1866. BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF JOSEPH GILBERT TOTTEN. ME. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN or THE ACADEMY :— In conformity with a clause of the Constitution of this Academy, and in obedience to your instructions, I am here to render the tribute of a formal biographical notice in commemoration of one who was numbered among our most venerable and most honored associates. If, in the language of one of our body, on a previous and similar occasion, "it is no unreasonable assumption that public benefit and individual incentives may be derived from the history of any man whose scientific services have rendered him worthy of admittance to your number," that assumption must have a peculiar force when it applies to one who has "finished his course," and has filled a life, protracted beyond the usual term, with scientific labors of no ordinary variety and magnitude. It is but little more than two years since we first met for the great and important work of organizing this National Academy, and with us—of our number, if not personally present—were "both the gray-headed and very aged men." But, alas! these, like autumnal leaves, are rapidly falling away, and already the places of a Totten, a Hitchcock, and a Silliman know them no more, save in the records of their lives and deeds, and in the grateful memories of their associates. What a trio of names, glorious in the annals of science, is this! Well may they be ineentives to us, who yet remain to strive that we may worthily replace them, and establish for this Academy a reputation for usefulness and science which their honored bearers have acquired for themselves.

S. Army, member of the National Academy of Sciences, was born at Beverly, Essex County, Massachusetts, August 13, 1831. He died on October 1, 1927, at Cambridge, Massachusetts, aged 96 years. He traced his descent in the male line from George Abbot, said to be a native of Yorkshire, England, who settled at Andover, Massachusetts, in the year 1642. Through early intermarriage, this line is closely con- nected with that of the descendants of George Abbott of Row- ley, Essex County, Massachusetts. The Abbots of Andover were farmers, highly respected by their townsmen, and often intrusted with elective office in town, church, and school affairs. In the fifth generation, de- scended through John, eldest son of George Abbot of An- dover,1 Abiel Abbot, a great-grandfather of General Abbot, removed from Andover to settle in Wilton, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, in the year 1763. He made his farm from the wilderness on "Abbot Hill" in the southern part of the township. Having cleared two acres and built a two-story house and barn, he married Dorcas Abbot and moved into the house with his bride before the doors were hung, in November, 1764. They had thirteen children, of whom the fourth, Ezra Abbot, born February 8, 1772, was grandfather to our propo- s^tus.
