The Ancestry of John Hampden Holliday AUGUSTUSR The Ancestry of John Hampden Holliday AUGUSTUSR. MARKLE In writing of any man, there is always much left out of the story, whether genealogy or biography is the object, for in a biography we necessarily must take ancestry into account, and in genealogy the mere parading across the page of a lot of names faiIs to bring into the picture the effect that ancestors had in producing the man. There is not room in this department of the Magazine to set out many of the features of his life nor to do inore than name those forebears who had a part in determining the life and character of the man who became the first president of the Society of Indiana Pioneers, John Hampden Holliday. Mr. Holliday was educated in the public schools of In- dianapolis, and, after four years at the Northwestern Chris- tian University, the predecessor of Butler College, he entered Hanover College where he was graduated in the Class of 1864. A little before his graduation, he enlisted in the One Hundred Thirty-seventh Indiana, a hundred-day regiment, and served for four months. He then re-enlisted in the Seventieth Indiana Infantry for three years, but was reject- ed by the medical examiner. After a short experience in the practice of law, he began work with the Indianapolis Gazette in 1866. In 1869, he founded a paper of his own, the Indi- anapolis News, the first issue appearing on December 7, 1869. He retired from the News in 1892 and a year later helped organize the Union Trust Company, of which he became the first president. He resigned in 1899 to found the Indianap- olis Press which had a short life, being sold a year and a half later to the News. Mr. Holliday then became president of the Union Trust Company again. In 1916, he became Chairman of the Board of Directors and was for many years connected with other financial and benevolent institutions of Indianapolis. In 1875, Evaline M. Rieman of Baltimore became the wife of Mr. Holliday and to this union were born seven children. In 1916, Mr. and Mrs. Holliday presented to the City of Indianapolis their beautiful eighty-acre country place on White River between Crow’s Nest and Broad Ripple, the city to have possession three years after the first of March following the death of the survivor of the couple. In The Ancestrg of John Hampden Holliday 67 1920, Mr. Holliday announced the gift of $25,000 to the Emmerich Manual Training High School in memory of his son, John Hampden Holliday, Jr., who was a graduate of this High School in the Class of 1901. On December 23, 1917, the young man died while in army service at Washington, D.C. The senior John Hampden Holliday was a charter member of the Indianapolis Literary Club ; one of the found- ers of the Immigrants’ Aid Association; long the chairman of the Indiana State Conference of Charities and Corrections ; and for many years a ruling elder of the First Presbyterian Church and a trustee of the Presbyterian Synod of Indiana. For forty-six years, he served as a trustee of Hanover Col- lege, and, for a quarter of a century, as a trustee of McCor- mick Theological Seminary. He was one of the founders of the Indianapolis Charity Organization Society, now the Family Welfare Society. He was a thirty-third degree Ma- son and a member of Phi Gamma Delta. It was on Oc- tober 20, 1921, at his country home near Crow’s Nest on White River, that John Hampden Holliday died, at the age of seventy-five. Born on May 31, 1846, in Indianapolis, to the Reverend William Adair Holliday and his wife Lucia Shaw Cruft, John H. Holliday was the product of two widely dissimilar stocks. His father, the son of Samuel Holliday, was born in Harrison County, Kentucky, a few years before the re- moval of the family to Indiana in 1816. His mother was born in Boston in 1805 and died in 1881. The grandfather, Samuel Holliday, was born in 1779 to William Holliday and Martha Patton. Of the latter very little is known, but we know that William was born in Ire- land in 1755 and died in Kentucky in 1812. His parents were Samuel Holliday, born in 1709, and Janet Adair. Sam- uel Holliday, the grandfather of John Hampden Holliday, married Elizabeth Martin (1781-1846). She was the daugh- ter of Jacob Martin, a soldier in the Revolutionary War and his wife, Catherine Wilson. In so far as a man is what his mother makes him, the New England ancestry of John Hampden Holliday had much to do with his life in later years, and it is of this side of his family that the most is known. The mother of John H. Holliday was Lucia Shaw Cruft 68 Zndiarta MaQazine of History (1805-1881). Lucy was the daughter of John Cruft, who was born in Boston in 1769, and was married in 1799 to Lucia Crocker Shaw (1772-1812). John Cruft died in 1839. John was the son of Foster Cruft (1734-1800) who was married in 1757 to Ann Breck (1738-1827). Foster was the son of Edward Cruft (1690-1734) of Boston, who was married in 1715 to Abigail Foster. Ann Breck, wife of Foster Cruft and grandmother of John H. Holliday, was the daughter of John Breck (1705-1761) who was married in 1727 to Margaret Thomas. Margaret was the daughter of William Thomas and his wife Abigail, the year of her birth being 1708. John, the father of Ann Breck, was the son of a John Breck (1680-1713)who was married in 1703 to Ann Patte- shall (1678-1767). The father of the latter John Breck was also a John Breck (1650-1691) with a wife named Susanna. The father of this third John Breck was Edward Breck who died in Dorchester in 1662. He married Isabel Rigby. Ann Patteshall (1678-1767), who married the second John Breck, was the daughter of Richard Patteshall (1636- 1689) and Martha Woodee. Martha was born in 1669 to Isaac and Dorcas Woodee. The father of Richard was Ed- mund Patteshall, who died in 1675. The grandmother of John H. Holliday and wife of John Cruft, Lucia Crocker Shaw, was the daughter of William Shaw, D. D. (1741-1816) of Marshfield, Massachusetts, who drried Lucy Crocker (1744-1776) in 1766. The Reverend William Shaw was graduated from Harvard in 1762, and in 1815 received the degree of S. T. D. He was married a second time to Sarah Mather, and a third time, to Ann Check- ley. The father of the Rev. William Shaw was also grad- uated from Harvard (class of 1729). He was born in 1708 and married Sarah Angier (1705-1768). The grandfather of the Rev. William Shaw was Joseph Shaw and his grand- mother was Judith Whitmarsh (1669-1760), daughter of John and Sarah Whitmarsh. Joseph Shaw was the son of John Shaw of Weymouth, whose wife Elizabeth was the daughter of Nicholas and Elizabeth Phillips. This John Shaw of Weymouth was the son of Abraham Shaw, the immigrant from England, who married Bridget Best in 1616 and died in Dedham, Massachusetts, in 1638. Sarah Angier, mother of the Rev. William Shaw, was The Ancestvg of John Hampden Holliday 69 the daughter of the Reverend Samuel Angier (1654-1719) who was graduated from Harvard in 1673. The Rev. Angier married Hannah Oakes in 1680. Samuel Angier was the son of Edmund Angier (1612-1692),who came to Cambridge from England and married Ruth Ames. Ruth was the daughter of the Rev. William Ames (1476-1633) and his wife Joanna Fletcher (1587-1644). Ames and his wife were immigrants to Cambridge, Massachusettes, from England. Edmund Angier’s father was John Angier. Hannah Oakes, who married the Rev. Samuel Angier, was the daughter of the Reverend Urian Oakes (1631-1681),an early president of Harvard College. The father of Urian Oakes was Ed- ward Oakes, who like his son, was born in England and be- came a resident of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Lucy Crocker, who became the first wife of the Rev. William Shaw, was the daughter of the Rev. Joseph Crocker (1715-1772) of Eastham, Massachusetts, who married Reli- ance Allen (1715-1759)in 1739. Joseph was graduated from Harvard in 1734. He was the son of Thomas Crocker (1671- 1728) who married Hannah Green of Boston in 1698. Thomas died in Barnstable in 1728, at the age of fifty-three. Thomas was the son of Josiah Crocker (1647-1698) who married Malatiah Hinckley, (1648-1714). Malatiah was the daughter of Governor Thomas Hinckley, born in England in 1619, and his wife Mary Richards of Cape Cod. The Governor died in 1706. The father of Josiah Crocker waa William Crocker of Barnstable and his wife Alice. Josiah died in 1692. Reliance Allen, who became the wife of the Rev. Joseph Crocker, was the daughter of the Rev. Benjamin Allen who was graduated from Yale in 1708. Benjamin married Eliz- abeth Crocker in 1712, and died in 1754. The father of the Rev. Benjamin Allen was James Allen of Martha’s Vineyard (1623-1714) and his wife Elizabeth Perkins (1644-1722). Elizabeth Crocker who became the wife of the Rev. Benja- min Allen, was born in 1668 to Job Crocker (1644-1718) and his wife Hannah Taylor. Job was the son of William Crocker and his wife Alice.

  • Jvilliam Hubbard and the Providential Interpretation of History
    JVilliam Hubbard and the Providential Interpretation of History BY KENNETH B. MURDOCK ILLIAM HUBBARD (c. 1621-1704), a member of W the first class to graduate from Harvard, has long been recognized for his work as a colonial historian.* His Narrative of the Troubles with the Indians in New-England, published in 1677, was probably the best history of King Philip's War to be written by a New Englander who lived through it, and, according to Moses Coit Tyler, this book, "for its almost universal diffusion among the people, deserves the name of an American classic."^ Larger in scope, but less praised, is his General History of New- England from the Discovery to MDCLXXX, finished by 1682 but not published (and then imperfectly) until 1815.^ In ' See the Dictionary of American Biography, and J. L. Sibley, Biographical Sketches of Graduates of Harvard University (Cambridge, 1873-), vol. i, pp. 54-62. 'M. C. Tyler, A History of American Literature, 1607-1676 (New York, 1878), vol. 2, p. 135. Hubbard'8 Narrative was reprinted by Samuel G. Drake, as The History of the Indian Wars in New England (Roxbury, 1865). All my references are to this edition. 'The work was printed in 2 Massachusetts Historical Society Collections, vols. 5, 6, 1815, and separately Cambridge, 1815. My references, except as otherwise noted, are to the Cambridge edition. Another and better edition, with revisions and notes, was printed in Boston, 1848. This, like the earlier editions, followed the Massachusetts Historical Soci- ety's manuscript, which was incomplete. It lacked the preface, and some pages at the beginning and end of the text were so mutilated that only a fragmentary reading could be printed.

  • Providence in the Life of John Hull: Puritanism and Commerce in Massachusetts Bay^ 16^0-1680
    Providence in the Life of John Hull: Puritanism and Commerce in Massachusetts Bay^ 16^0-1680 MARK VALERI n March 1680 Boston merchant John Hull wrote a scathing letter to the Ipswich preacher William Hubbard. Hubbard I owed him £347, which was long overdue. Hull recounted how he had accepted a bill of exchange (a promissory note) ftom him as a matter of personal kindness. Sympathetic to his needs, Hull had offered to abate much of the interest due on the bill, yet Hubbard still had sent nothing. 'I have patiently and a long time waited,' Hull reminded him, 'in hopes that you would have sent me some part of the money which I, in such a ftiendly manner, parted with to supply your necessities.' Hull then turned to his accounts. He had lost some £100 in potential profits from the money that Hubbard owed. The debt rose with each passing week.' A prominent citizen, militia officer, deputy to the General Court, and affluent merchant, Hull often cajoled and lectured his debtors (who were many), moralized at and shamed them, but never had he done what he now threatened to do to Hubbard: take him to court. 'If you make no great matter of it,' he warned I. John Hull to William Hubbard, March 5, 1680, in 'The Diaries of John Hull,' with appendices and letters, annotated by Samuel Jennison, Transactions of the American Anti- quarian Society, II vols.

  • Declension in a Bible Commonwealth
    Declension in a Bible Commonwealth BY PERRY MILLER I. VEN a Puritan society, even a people chosen of God, if E they undertake to settle a wilderness, will meet with hardship and sometimes with disaster. Leaders will die, since men cannot live forever; winds and earthquakes strike equally the chosen and the unchosen; caterpillars will con- sume the grain of the righteous unless God contrive a very exceptional providence to divert them, while saints no less than other men must run the hazard of pestilence, drought, the measles, or shipwreck. When such afiüictions overtake a community of the unregenerate, they know not what to do. They put the blame upon second causes or upon blind chance; they have no way to overcome the evil and must either endure or perish. But a holy commonwealth of Puri- tan saints is fully equipped with a method for meeting emergency. At the first fiick of the lash, the whole body politic assembles for a ceremony of public humiliation and communal repentance, wherein the people take the responsi- bility for the disaster upon themselves, asserting that the fault is entirely theirs and that God has punished them justly and necessarily for their sins. Thereupon the way for ac- complishing their relief becomes obvious : they must resolve to mend their ways and beseech the Lord to look with favor upon their reformation. Whole days should be officially set apart for these observances, called in New England "days of humiliation" or "fast days," to be observed not with complete fasting—^that extremity was Popish superstition— 38 AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY [April, but with abstinence from all but the essentials of life, even, according to one instruction, from the pleasures of marriage.

Murphy And approved by _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2016 Copyright © 2016 Sarah Augusta Morgan Smith All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “With a Publick Spirit”: Community and Commitment in New England, 1630-1689 by SARAH AUGUSTA MORGAN SMITH Dissertation Director: Andrew R. Murphy “With a Publick Spirit”: Community and Commitment in New England, 1630- 1689 engages in a critical analysis of the core principles of New England’s civic identity from its founding through roughly the first two and a half generations of political development. It explores the complex relationship between the problem of sustaining revolutionary founding commitments and the concept of civic education as character formation in seventeenth century New England. The subject presents the opportunity to study the critical intersection of theory and practice and argues that these early decades were crucial for the establishment of a particularly American concept of civic formation, and thus, for the development of American political thought on the nature of citizenship. At the heart of the project is a reflection on the civic virtues necessary for founding and maintaining a political society, the ways that they can be encouraged through civic institutions such as schools and legal systems, and the potential dangers when such virtues are either deficient or carried to excess by the citizenry.

Data for this study consist of 466 extant sermons and theo- logical treatises in sermon form preached and written between 1630 and 1700 in the five Massachusetts towns of Boston, Cambridge, Dedham, Dorchester, and Roxbury. These five communities were selected because their early founding (prior to 1640) permits an analysis of the sermons of three generations of clergy prior to 1700. The year 1700 was selected as an appropriate ending date, since it was the seventeenth century that contained the era of Puritan religious dominance and exclusiveness in New England. While no claim is made that the sermon sample includes every extant sermon from these towns, I believe that a large majority of such sermons have been included. 1.
