Chauncey M. Depew CHRONOLOGY AND ANCESTRY OF CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW WITH FIFTY-FOUR OTHER AFFILIATED FAMILIES OF NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY AND NEW ENGLAND AN APPENDIX ON THE HEGEMAN ANCESTRY WITH TWENTY-FIVE OTHER AFFILIATED FAMILIES COMPILED BY WILLIAM A. EARDELEY, M.A. NEW YORK 1918 C.0PYJUGHT. 1918 BY CHAUNCEY M.• DEPEW i-'O"l.CHAUNC!::Y M.D!::PE:W .:.- - .... :: AGE: o::- 63 PREFACE THE desire of an individual to trace his or her ancestry and to per­ petuate, in print, the salient facts in the lives of these same ancestors, is commendable to the last degree. Hence this book of Records with the main authorities for the facts herein contained. The 1907 Ogden Family Genealogy says "There is something peculiarly gratifying to the average American citizen to be able to trace his lineage to the primal days of colonial life, and especially to a worthy, virtuous and honored ancestor . the undying satisfaction in the knowledge that one is heir to strong and enduring ancestral character: in the fact of being able to point back to him who first came to the New World. There is much fascination in the tracing back of ancestral lines, in spite of the many discouragements and the tediousness of the work." The realization that one's ancestors were patriotic citizens. who fought for the independence of this Great American Republic, should be a strong incentive for the descendants to emulate such sterling deeds. The mingling of the blood of the fine French Huguenot Families of Depew and See; of the Dutch Families of Cranckheyt and Siboutsen and Van Lent and Wiltsie and Van Boerum and Storm and Van Wert; of the English Families of Mitchell and Minot and Sherman and Prescott and Ogden and Root and Curtiss and Wellington and Winship and Wilder and Willard; with the touch of the Irish in the Johnston Family-has given us one of our grandest men in the person of the Honorable Chauncey Mitchell Depew. The author lays no claim to originality in the arrangement of this book, but has endeavored to follow the accepted lines. Special thanks are here rendered to Mr. Robert Brown Miller, of [iii] CHRONOLOGY AND ANCESTRY OF CHAUNCEY .M. DEPEW Brooklyn, New York, for help on the Cranckheyt and Depew and See lines; to Mr. Frank Emil Rapp, of Brooklyn, New York. for Lent and Mitchell data; to Mr. Francis Bacon Trowbridge. of New Haven, Conn.; to Mr. Henry Mills, of Fairfield, Conn.;to Mr. Franklin Couch.

  • Louisa Wood Ruby
    CHAPTER ONE DUTCH ART AND THE HUDSON VALLEY PATROON PAINTERS Louisa Wood Ruby One of the earliest "schools" of American painting, the Hudson Valley patroon painters, has often been considered to have derived from seventeenth-century English portraiture. Portraits of English aristo- crats appealed to Dutch patroons as displays of the kind of social status they aspired to in their new country. British mezzotints after original paintings by Sir Godfrey Kneller and others provided the patroon painters with readily available models on which to base their portraits of wealthy Dutch Americans. Unfortunately, this convincing analysis vastly underestimates the influence of Dutch art and taste on the development of these paintings. Frequently overlooked in the discussion of the appeal of British portraiture to Dutch patroons is the fact that English portraiture of the seventeenth century was, in fact, a direct descendant of the Netherlandish portrait tradition. Kneller, the main source for the mez- zotints that flooded New York, was trained in Amsterdam. Sir Peter Lely was born in Holland, and of course Sir Anthony Van Dyck was from Antwerp. Wealthy Dutch families in New York would have been aware of the Netherlandish tradition through works of art they brought with them from their homeland. Indeed, the first paintings produced in New Amsterdam and early New York were essentially Dutch, since no other tradition existed here at the time. When British mezzotints finally arrived in 17 10, they did indeed appeal to the patroon families, most likely because they were works grounded in the Dutch tradition, then overlaid with elements of British culture and style.

THE PHILADELPHIA CAMPAIGN In Summary: We started this journey several issues ago beginning with . LANDING AT THE HEAD OF ELK - Over 260 British ships arrived at Head of Elk, Maryland. Washington was ready. The trip took overly long, horses died by the hundreds. British General Howe was anxious to move on, but first he had to unload his massive armada. ON THE MARCH TO BRANDYWINE - Howe heads for Philadelphia. Washington blocks the path. On the way to their first engagement of 1777, Washington exposes himself to capture, Howe misses an opportunity, the rains fall, and everyone seems prepared for what happens next. THE BATTLE OF BRANDYWINE- The first battle in the campaign. Howe conceives and executes a daring 17 mile march catching Washington by surprise. The Continental Army is impressive, but the day belongs to the British. THE BATTLE OF THE CLOUDS Both armies were poised for another major engagement Five days after the Battle of Brandywine, a confrontation is rained out PAOLI MASSACRE Bloody bayonets in a midnight raid Mad” Anthony Wayne, assigned to attack the rear guard of the British army, is himself surprised in a “dirty” early morning raid. MARCH TO GERMANTOWN Washington prepares to win back the capital Congress flees Philadelphia as the British occupy the city amid chaos and fear. THE BATTLE OF GERMANTOWN The battle is fought in and around a mansion. For the first time the British retreat during battle, but fog and confusion turned the American advance around.

  • The Effect of Party Loyalty on the Election of U.S. Senators, 1871–1913
    The Effect of Party Loyalty on the Election of U.S. Senators, 1871–1913 Wendy Schiller Brown University Charles Stewart III The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Prepared for presentation at the annual meeting of the American Political Science Association, August 28-31st, 2008. The research in this paper was supported by NSF grant number 0518313. We thank the following research assistants for their unstinting work on this project: Kelly Bay, Matthew Corritore, Jennifer Davis, Keith Edwards, Dristin Falciglia, Marrisa Geller, Amy Goins, Andrew Gordon, Adam Groce, Laura Hajj, Tony Hill, Jeremy Johnson, Allison C.

The American parties, with the party organization now their dominant part, had reached their "golden age" by the beginning of the 1900s. Party organizations now existed in all the states and localities and flourished in the industrial cities. Party discipline was at a record high in Congress and most state legislatures. Parties ran campaigns for public office; they held rallies and torchlight parades, canvassed door-to-door, and brought voters to the polls. They controlled access to many government jobs ranging from street inspectors to members of the U.S. Senate.1 The post-Civil War period of American politics is widely regarded as a time when strong parties dominated American politics, not only at the national level, but at the state level, too. A key element of this party domination worked through the United States Senate, which was linked to the states through the mechanism of state legislatures electing U.S.

  • The Military Tract (Compiled by Walter Gable, Seneca County Historian)
    Chapter Seven – The Military Tract (Compiled by Walter Gable, Seneca County Historian) It is very difficult to talk about parcels of property in Seneca County without coming across a reference to some Military Lot number. That is because most of the county was originally the western-most portion of the New York Military Tract. This article provides detailed information about the nature of the Military Tract in general and specifically those in what is today Seneca County. The Nature of the Military Tract in General On September 16, 1776, the recently organized Congress of the United States met and considered the report of the Board of War. The Revolutionary War was now a definite part of the life of the new nation and more men were needed if the war was to be won. Each state was asked to furnish its quota of men according to its population. Delaware and Georgia, with the least, were to provide one battalion each, New Jersey and New York, four, and Massachusetts (which then included what is now Maine) and Virginia, having the most people, were to furnish enough men for 15 battalions. Congress realized that men would not be willing to leave their homes and bear the hardship of war unless they and their families benefited by such an effort on their part. Granted they would be willing to serve in the militia for short tours, guarding the frontiers of their neighboring countryside, but they were being asked to sign up for the duration of the war or until they might be discharged by Congress.
