FOREWORD This Lott Book grows out of work done by Dr. Robe& Furmas' In preparation for a book on the Phillips Family of New Jersey. It was found that the names Phillips and Lott came together in so many places that it seemed desirable to know more about the Lott Family in order better to understand their various relationships with the Phillips Family. An ear- ly instance of this combining Lott and Phillips is found on page 188 of "~ooley"where it is assumed that William Phillips born 1702 was son of Joseph married twice, one wife being a Miss Lott. We had to abolish this Joseph, as it requlred too great a stretch of imagination to believe that there were two sepa- rate Phillips families as shown by "cooleg" as follows: Page '181 Page 188 Theophilus Theophilus Joseph Joseph Dani el William William Philip Philip And we found that by all the evidence William Phillips born 1702 is the son of Theophilus born 1673; and also that Miss Lott fits in perfectly as the wife (not the mother) of William Phillips born 1702. This also explains the introduction of the Lot, Lott name into the Phillips family. The genealogical work has been done almost entirely by Dr. Furman. The best thanks are due to him from all those who are interested in the book, for his patient and careful work. Our thanks are also given for the co-operation of Mrs. Hayden W. Brown, New Haven, Conn.; Austin C. Graybeal, Des Moines, Iowa; Orville Corson, Middletown, Ohio; Cornelius J. Walter, Philadelphia, Pa.; William B. Walter, Beatrice, Nebr.; and Charles S. Fillips, Newark, N.J.; Joanne De Bevois Lott, Forest Hills, L.I.; Dr. George E. Ozias, Quakertown, Pa.; Edson Schuyler Lott, New York City, in adding their family data.

N .J. first three generations .................................. 158 l NTR OD UCT l ON There are few families, that the compiler has worked on where there are so many conflicting statements, and where, so much material has been put together with little or no actual proof. The difficulties, as a whole, are due to the duplication of given names, in each generation, also to the fact, that most genealogical work done, has been on one line of descent back, without regard to collateral lines. We have tried to work out certain Phillips-Lott connections, and for this, a great deal of work has been done, both on the Long Island, and New Jersey rec- ords, in the endeavor to establish the various inter-marriages, but only the fol- lowing have been found, or indicated:- 1. ANN, ANNA, ANNATJE LOT, LOTT, daughter of Peter and Nishe Lot, Lott, married Justice John Phillips, of Pleasant Valley, N.J., son of The- ophilus and Frances Phillips. He appears as an Executor of the will of Peter Lot, Dec. 11, 1720, proved April 17, 1721, Hopewell, N.J., and is named "son John ~hillips," in this will. Justice John and Ann (~ot,~ott) Phillips, had children whose names are distinctly Lott names - Peter, Henry, Katy (~atherine),Marytje (~ary)Phillips, bapt. Sept. 19, 1739, Readington Church, N.J. 2. JOHN LOT PHILLIPS, Cordova, Ill. Son of Thomas and Catherine (~hilli~s) Phillips, great-grandson (on the maternal side) of William Phillips, b. 1702, and his wife Mary, whom I believe was MARY LOT, daughter of Peter and Nishe Lot, Lott. This Peter Lot signed his name with one "t", and this spelling has been used in this branch. 3. REV. JOHN LOTT PHILLIPS, born in Philadelphia, Pa., degree of B.A. Princeton, 1774, got land at St. Margaret Parish, Wake County, N.C., a gift of his relative Mrs. Phoebe Warner, of Princeton, N.J. Went to England, where he died. This man was a Tory, but neither his Phillips, nor Lott antecedents are known. Lotts, from Long Island and New Jersey, moved to various sections of Pennsylvania, at an ear- ly date. 4. JOSEPH PHILLIPS, Cooley in his "Genealogies of the first settlers of Ewing and Trenton, N.J ." page 188, says "the ancestor of one branch of the Phillips Family, emigrated from Wales to Long Island, thence to Maidenhead, N.J. He was cwice married, one wife being a Miss LOTT, and he had children by each wife." A search of Long Island and New Jersey records, fails to show such a marriage, or connection. 5. KEZIAH PHILLIPS, married Sept. 26, 1768, GERSHOM LOTT, of Perth Amboy, N.J., John Phillips appeared on the marriage bonds. In 1777, when Gershom Lott died, Ralph Phillips, and Keziah Lott, were made execu- tors. Later we find their children with a combination of Phillips- Lott names - William Philllps Lott, Dr. Ralph Phillips Lott. 6. LETITIA PHILLIPS, married RICHARD LOTT, son of Peter, and grandson of Peter and Nishe Lot, Hopewell, N.J. x TRE LOTT FAMILY IN AMERICA 7. LOT, LOTT PHILLIPS, born about 1741; died 1780, married Jan. 17, 1770, Hannah Hart. He was in my opinion, son of William Phillips, b. 1702, and his wife MARY LOT, LOTT, daughter of Peter and Nishe Lot. 8. LOTT PHILLIPS, son of Peter, and grandson of Justice John and Ann, Anna, Annatje (Lot, Lett) Phillips, was born about 1754; died 1820; married Elizabeth Titus. 9. MARY LOTT, 2nd wife of WIU1A.M PHILLIPS, born Nov. 13, 1722; died Aug. 5, 1806. She died June 28, 1796. 10. MARY LOT, LOTT, who I believe was one of the five unnamed children in the will of Peter Lot, who had wife Nishe. Mary married William Phillips, born Jan. 7, 1702; died Jan. 3, 1776, Maidenhead, N.J., son of Theophilus and Frances Phillips, and brother of Justice John Phillips. 11. THOMAS LOT PHILLIPS, New Castle, Pennsylvania, son of Elijah and Christiana (~rooks)Phillips, great-great-grandson of William and Mary (~ot,~ott) Phillips. There are other indications of close relationships between the Phillips and Lott families. The will of William Hunt, of Hopewell, N.J., made March 19, 1781, mentions "grandchildren, RUTH PHILLIPS, PETER and NAOMI LOTT!' This is just a start, in time we hope these connections may be more clearly and definitely established. 621 West 189th St., New York, N.Y. ARMS: Vert, two horses rampant, Combatant argent.

  • HISTORICAL SOCIETY NOTES and DOCUMENTS the PHANTOM ATROCITY Kenneth A
    HISTORICAL SOCIETY NOTES AND DOCUMENTS THE PHANTOM ATROCITY Kenneth A. White scene has been a favorite of historians for years. The date is TheNovember 25, 1758. The place is the strategic Forks of the Ohio. A British army under the command of Brigadier General John Forbes warily approaches the French Fort Duquesne. The army marches in three columns, with a screen of provincial militia in ad- vance and guarding the flanks. The soldiers tread cautiously, alert for the smallest sign of danger. They had received word that the French had already abandoned the fort;yet two earlier columns, including a detachment from this same army under the command of Major James Grant, had been attacked and nearly destroyed near Fort Duquesne. Forbes's men have no intention of letting that happen to them. Grim reminders of the previous expeditions— in the form of unburied corpses litter the forest near the fort a warning to the unwary. Finally, as the sun sinks behind the tree-covered hills, the ad- vance units of the army break out of the forest into the clearing sur- rounding the fort and come to a sudden halt. There, before their eyes, are a number of stakes, each bearing the head of a Scottish Highlander killed at Grant's defeat two months earlier. Beneath each head a kilt is wrapped around the stake to mock the "petticoat warriors." The provincials, accustomed to the brutalities of frontier warfare, pause only briefly, then grimly continue forward. When the main body of the army reaches the clearing, however, the Highlanders do not react so stoically.

  • Littleboroughs— Nestled in the First and Second Range of Hills South of Pittsburgh Beltzhoover and Allentown
    REMINISCENCES OF BELTZHOOVER AND ALLENTOWN Two Old-Time Western Pennsylvania Boroughs* C. A. Weslager is known, still less has been published, and the meager in- formation available is gradually disappearing about the two Littleboroughs— nestled in the first and second range of hills south of Pittsburgh Beltzhoover and Allentown. Allentown, the older of the two, was incorporated in 1869 and annexed to Pittsburgh in 1874. Beltzhoover, incorporated in 1875, became part of the city in 1898. Their former borough names are still used although they no longer have political significance. Ifyou hail a cab in downtown Pittsburgh and ask the driver to take you to Beltz- hoover or Allentown,he won't remind you that your destination should properly be referred to as the Eighteenth Ward. He will whisk you across the Smithfield Street Bridge, left on West Carson Street, and up cobbled Brownsville Avenue, one of the city's oldest and steepest streets, now called new Arlington Avenue. At the top of the hillyou will intersect Warrington Avenue, the main street of the two former boroughs. Here the driver probably will throw on his brakes and ask for your specific destination. If you say Millbridge Street (although there was never a mill or bridge to warrant the name), he willhave you there in a jiffy.But ifyou were to direct him to Maple Street, for example, the former name of Millbridge, he would look at you with a blank expression. No street exists today with that name. Maple Street never was an avenue lined with maples. Itderived Mr. Weslager received an Award of Merit from the American Association for State and Local History for his contributions to the history of the Delaware Valley region and the State of—Delaware.

    THE WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA HISTORICAL MAGAZINE Volume 46 July 1963 Number 3 BUSHY RUN: DECISIVE BATTLE IN THE WILDERNESS Pennsylvania and the Indian Rebellion of 1763 Niles Anderson Let us now praise famous men and our fathers that begat us. —Ecclesiasticus 44:1 should ring for Colonel Henry Bouquet and western Penn- sylvanians should give obeisance this 200th year of the anni- Bellsversary of the Battle of Bushy Run. This was the battle in which on August 5 and 6, 1763, Colonel Bouquet's intrepid little army of less than 500 men repulsed an almost equal number of Indians on the hilltops east of Harrison City, Westmoreland County. This was the battle that assured the relief of Indian-invested Fort Pitt and that marked the turning point in the break-up of the wide- spread Indian rebellion — misnamed "Pontiac's Conspiracy" — that for a time threatened to wipe out all inroads of white civilization inthe frontier country and when, as one writer has stated, "Anglo-Saxon civilization stood in the presence of the greatest crisis of its history along the frontiers of Pennsylvania." l This paper is the basis of an address delivered <at a meeting of the Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania on April 10, 1963.

  • John Ormsby, Pittsburgh's Original Citizen
    JOHN ORMSBY, PITTSBURGH'S ORIGINAL CITIZEN WALTER T. KAMPRAD1 ' Iv he following epitaph, inscribed on one of the few remaining tomb- •*\u25a0 stones in Trinity churchyard, Pittsburgh, serves well as an intro- duction to the founder of the large and distinguished Ormsby family of western Pennsylvania: On the 19th day of December, A.D. 1805, the remains of the venerable John Ormsby, aged 85 years, were interred, agreeably to his desire, with the ashes of his beloved wife. Mr. Ormsby migrated to Fort Duquesne about the time the British took possession of it,at which time he was commissary of pro- visions and paymaster of disbursements for the erection of Fort Pitt. Subse- quently he entered largely into the Indian trade, and in the year 1763 was plundered of allhis property, his people murdered, and himself shut up inFort Pitt during the siege. Mr.Ormsby was a large stockholder in the Indian grant ("Indiana"), which would have remunerated him for allhis losses by the In- dians, had not the revolution taken place. Notwithstanding, he was a staunch Whig and gloried inour independence. In most cases, the name Ormsby is derived from Ormsby Parish, County Lincoln,and sometimes from Ormsby St. Michael, or Ormesby St. Margaret, in County Norfolk, England. There also is found an Ormsby Parish in the North Riding of County York. The meaning of all these isthe dwelling of Orme, a common name among the Danes who settled in the east of England. The name of Robert de Ormesby is found inthe Hundred Rolls of County Lincoln,and that of Williamde Ormes- by in those of County Norfolk.

CHAPTER INTRODUCTORY SURVEY The untold possibilities of the extensive and fertile Mississippi Valley were practically unknown to the British when they became sovereigns of this region by the Treaty of Paris in February, 1763. It was evident that a colonial policy needed to be determined and inaugurated in order to protect the Indians from exploitation by the unscrupulous traders; and thus dispel their well founded distrust of the English. But the many con- flicting opinions as to the nature of such a policy and the dissensions among the ever changing ministries in England proved an insurmountable obstacle to the launching of whatever policy was planned. In England, westward expansion was viewed from three angles--there were some persons who heartily favored it as a means of producing markets for English goods; others who favored a gradual process; while there were those who, deeming its pri- meval condition more conducive to fur trading, absolutely dis- approved of any settlements west of the Appalachian mountains.
