Vol. XXXII. NEW YORK, JANUARY, 1901. No. 1.
SAMUEL SMITH PURPLE, M.D.
This Society mourns the loss of a venerable associate, whose
services from its first organization until the day of his death,
have been invaluable; and whose personality was ever welcome
and helpful. Samuel Smith Purple, M.D., the eldest son of
Dea. Lyman Smith Purple and his wife Minerva (second daugh-
ter of Dr. James) Sheffield, was born in Lebanon, Madison Co.,
N. Y., on the 24th of June, 1822. He was seventh in descent from
Edward and Hannah (Ackley) Purple, who settled in Haddam,
Conn., 1674; and, more remotely, of Christopher Purple (1580 to
1605), who emigrated from the Co. Essex, England*. His father,
Dea. Purple, was a shoemaker and tanner.
The subject of our sketch received his early education, be-
tween the ages of five to sixteen years, at the district schooi of
his native village, and— in some autobiographical memoranda
which he has left— remarks, that during this period of his life, no
remarkable development of character appeared, except "such a
strong propensity to continued fishing and hunting," that it came
to be an accepted opinion in the family, that " Sam would never
be good for anything else." From thirteen to sixteen years, his
winters were spent at school, and his summers in assisting his
father in the shoemaker's shop, or in the tannery. In the spring
of 1836, the family removed to Earlville, Chenangp; Co., N. Y ,
where until, his death in May, 1839, the father kept a boot and
shoe store. After this event, young Samuel, as the eldest son,
succeeded to the business and superintendence of the shop, a
part of the time still working on the bench, and thus supporting
his mother and two younger brothers, for several years.
But, while faithful to the duties and responsibilities thus
Providentially imposed upon him, he secretly nurtured an ambi-
tion for some higher calling than that of being a follower of St.
Crispin; he longed to be a doctor. In this, there might, perhaps,
have been some "heredity," for his maternal grandfather and an
uncle, as well as a more remote relative, were physicians. Be
that as it may, however, the boy made up his mind to study
medicine, and in the summer of 184 1, commenced his preparatory
reading under the guidance of David Ransom, M.D., the leading
physician of the village. It is strongly indicative of the natural
reticence of the man, that, for some time, this fact was entirely
2 Samuel Smith Purple, M.D. [Jan.,
unknown to his family. It first revealed itself, when, one day, at
the family meal, he mildly contested a statement made by his
grandfather, Dr. Sheffield, who was then visiting them. His
mother warmly rebuked him, saying: "Why, Samuel, what do
you know about medicine?" He quietly replied: "Mother, I
have been studying medicine for some time ! " He also used to
relate, in later life, the scene which ensued when his good mother
first discovered, inside of an old box-sofa, which had stood for a
long time in his chamber, a skeleton which he had obtained (per-
haps a loan from his preceptor), to study from, and the indignation
with which she ordered it out of the house. His new studies, he
says in his notes, interfered but little with his trade, as he formed
the habit of rising at 4 A. M., and studying until 7 o'clock, when
he repaired to the shop; and, while engaged at his work during
the day, took every opportunity of reviewing his morning studies.
He adds, " I never allowed myself to read in the evening; " and
he admits that sometimes, he found that his studies had some-
what interfered with his regular business.
The condition of his father's estate proved to be such that it
required over three years diligent labor by this faithful son, to
free it from incumbrance, so as to secure a small village home-
stead for his mother and brothers. At last, however, it was
accomplished,, and he was free to follow the bent of his incli-
nations. In the early part of 1842, his preceptor secured from the
Censors of the State Medical Society, the privilege of a free
course of lectures at the Geneva Medical College; and, in order
to procure the means of defraying his personal expenses while
attending lectures, he worked during June, July, August and
September, at farm work. On the 1st of October of that year,
with barely enough money, in his pocket to live upon during the
ensuing four months, he left home for Geneva. In February,
1843, he returned home and took up his trade, as before, pursuing
his morning readings and his mental "reviews" during work
hours. Evidently, the boy was in earnest, and so, in the ensuing
summer, Dr. W. D. Purple, a distant relative, and a member of
the Board of Censors of the State Medical Society, secured for
him the privilege of the beneficiary foundation of the Medical
Department of the University of the City of New York — i. e., free
tickets for a full course of lectures in that institution, upon the
payment merely of the $25 matriculation fee. The summer of
1843 was spent as the previous one had been; and his second
course of lectures, thus hardly earned, and attended through cir-
cumstances of self-denial and strictest economy, were absorbed
and assimilated with the greatest delight by this earnest student,
who, in March, 1844, received from the venerable Prof. Valentine
Mott, the distinguished head of one of the most brilliant medical
faculties which ever graced an American institution, the diploma
entitling him to the title, rights and immunities of a Doctor of
Medicine.
After graduation, a few weeks spent at home in Earlville, gave
him time to decide the momentous question which confronts
every budding physician — where to settle in practice ? His choice
KfOL] Samuel Smith Purple, M.D. <>
fell upon New York City, and for that place he set out, in the
early days of May, 1844, with, as he says, "$25 and a very poor
wardrobe." As economy was nececssary, he made an arrangement
with a canalboat captain, by which he "worked his passage " on
the Erie Canal, to Utica. His journey from that point to this
city left him on arrival here with but $17.50 in hand— and then
the struggle began. In the few notes which he has left he says-
'The struggles and trials through which I passed during the first
three or four years, will ever remain a secret in my bosom
If it had not been for one or two warm friends, I could not have
succeeded in the task I had undertaken. It was not until five
years had elapsed that I was enabled to pay my expenses and
liquidate the obligations necessarily incurred up to that time "
And the memory of some of those early friends, corroborates his
statement But he had indomitable grit, and not a moment was
wasted. His Art was his mistress, and he wooed her insistently
" It is probable," says Dr. Stephen Smith, who was at this time a
student with him, "that he was induced to settle in this city by
the Rev. William W. Everts, pastor of the Laight Street Baptist
Church, who was his former townsman in Earlville, and to whom
as well as his worthy wife, the young doctor was in many ways
indebted, in these trying days.
" He soon became connected with the New York Dispensary
the oldest and largest dispensary in the city, and remained one
of its physicians from 1846-1849; and was attached to the New
York Lying-in- Asylum (with which he had been connected dur-
ing his student days), as district physician. He located in Hudson
Street (No. 183) near Varick, and rapidly acquired a practice in
that vicinity. Though his progress was slow in securing a better
class of families (as is that of physicians who begin their pro-
fessional lives m New York without the prestige of wealth and
the aid of a large circle of helpful friends), yet his devotion to his
patients, his success in their treatment, and his kindly gentle
manner won for him, in time, a lucrative business. During- this
early period he became acquainted with Prof. Charles A Lee
editor of the New York Journal of Medicine, who also held pro-
fessorships m the Medical College at Pittsfield, Mass., and in the
Medical College at Geneva, N. Y. These duties which required
Prof Lee to spend much time out of the city, led him to select
Dr. Purple as an assistant editor. In 1848, Prof. Lee, owing- to
the pressure of other duties, resigned the editorship of the Journal
and Dr. Purple became his successor. He continued in that
position until 1857, when he retired to devote himself entirely to
practice. During the period of his management of the Journal
it became the leading medical periodical of this country "
In 1846 also, he was elected a member of the New York
Pathological Society; in 1847, became one of the constituent
members of the New York Academy of Medicine. Concerning his
connection with this institution, another old professional friend,
Dr. Ellsworth Eliot says: "No one did more to promote the pros-
perity of the Academy than Dr. Purple. Of its now famous
library, he was the founder [by a donation of 4,000 volumes] and
A Samuel Smith Purple, M.D. [Jan.,
to it he gave books and pamphlets, many of them of great rarity
and value, by the thousands. At his death, also, the Academy
library became the recipient of an immense and perfectly unique
collection of American medical magazine literature from the
earliest times in this country — which he had with wonderful perse-
verance and diligence gathered together — the special pastime of
his life. In recognition of his valuable services, making him a
benefactor, and confering upon him every other honor from the
lowest to the highest, the Academy voted to erect a tablet in one
of its halls to him." Of this institution, Dr. Purple was Vice-
President in 1872, and, after three years' services as such, was
elected President in 1875; and again re-elected in 1877.
He held the position of Ward Physician during the Cholera
Epidemic of 1849; in 1852; became a constituent member of the
Medical Society of the State of New York; in 1853, was chosen a
corresponding member of the Epidemiological Society of London;
from 1867-187 1, was President of the Alumni Association of the
Medical Department of the University, City of New York; and
in 1862, was an Examining Surgeon in the New York State Drafts.
He was also a physician in several of our charitable institutions;
for many years a Trustee of the New York Veterinary College;
and a Life Member of the Society for the Relief of Widows and
Orphans of Medical Men.
"Though he never gained renown," says Dr. Eliot, "as a con-
tributor to Scientific Medicine, his record is that of one who
served the medical profession and the public most faithfully and
usefully. . . . To advance the interests of the medical pro-
fession, and to promote its honor, the efforts of Dr. Purple were
unceasing. His integrity, urbanity, intelligence, and obliging
disposition, gave him a highly reputable standing among many
who resorted to him for information and assistance. Dr. Purple
was eminently conservative. He looked upon those who were
instrumental in doing away with the "Code of Ethics" of the
medical profession, with as little favor as the High Calvinists
regard the so-called Higher Criticism."
From the old-fashioned house, and quiet surroundings in
Hudson street, where he had so long lived with his mother and
brothers (for he never married), he removed, about 1865 — follow-
ing, as was necessary, the upward trend of the city's population —
to No. $(> West 2 2d street, where amid his beloved books, still
practicing, though in more leisurely fashion than in the old
"down-town" days; caring for, and cared for by, the family of
his deceased brother, he passed his later years until death came
to him, September 29th, 1900, in his 79th year.
As a physician, Dr. Purple was, as has already been said, con-
servative; he held to the best and loftiest traditions of the pro-
fession; in the sick-room his dignity, his quietness of manner and
movement; his voice modulated in low tones — and, above all, the
touch of sympathy which brings comfort amid distress and
anxiety — were characteristic of the man. Benevolence shone in
his face and lightened the woes of many whose names still stand
and always will stand on the debit side of his ledgers until before
I go i.] Samuel Smith Purple, M.D. £
the Great White Throne in Heaven, "every man's account shall
be rendered."
While but a boy of twelve or thirteen, Dr. Purple joined the
Baptist Church in Earlville. When he settled in this city he
joined, of course, the Laight Street Baptist Church, of which his
old friend, Rev. Mr. Everts was pastor. Some dissension after-
wards arose in this church, which disrupted its congregation, and
which, though he maintained his position, and came out of it
unscathed, yet so affected him that he never afterwards joined
any church organization.
And now we must say a word concerning him as a life mem-
ber of our Society. Dr. Purple was not one of our constituent
members, at the meeting of February 27 th, 1869; but his name
stands upon our records as the first of the five members added at
the succeeding meeting of March 7th, and he was one of the
eight who signed the Certificate of Incorporation, on the 16th day
of the same month. And, from that time to this, it would be
difficult to find upon our roll of membership, one who has been
more intimately and continuously connected than he, with the
work and interests of the Society. He was a Trustee from 1869-
1900, inclusive; Second Vice-President from 1888-1893; First
Vice-President from 1893-1900; Treasurer, 1869-1877; a member
of our Publication Committee from 1872 until his death; Editor
of the Record from 1874-1886.
In all these relations he rendered us most faithful and loving
service. Especially, in connection with the work of the Publica-
tion Committee he was our main-stay, and it was due, we think,
to his suggestion, that the Society received from the late S. Whit-
ney Phoenix, Esq., the means for copying and publishing the
Baptismal and Marriage Records of the First Reformed Dutch
Church of this city — a most invaluable treasury of material for the
New York genealogist— and to the accuracy of which, in printed
form, Dr. Purple (who was a most inexorable proof-reader) de-
voted his untiring personal oversight, from the beginning of its
appearance in our quarterly, down to the very last week of his
life. He was also engaged, with his brother Edwin R. Purple,
in the preparation of other New York Dutch family genealogies,
some of which were published in our Record, and some in private
form: Genealogical Memorials of William Bradford, the Printer,
Quarto, pp. 8, 1873. Contributions to the History of Ancient
Families of New Amsterdam and New York. By Edwin R.
Purple, with a Biographical Sketch of the Author; and Additions,
and Emendations to the Work. By Samuel S. Purple, M.D.
Quarto, pp. 138, 1881. A Memoir of the Life and Writings of Hon.
Teunis G. Bergen {with Pedigree), 1881. By Samuel S. Purple,
M.D. Quarto, pp. 8. A Brief Memoir of Abram Du Bois, M.D.
{with Pedigree.) By Samuel S. Purple, M.D. Quarto, pp. 8, 1893.
Among his papers since his death, have been found extensive
manuscript collections for the genealogies of the Purple, Sheffield,
Close, Ly?ich, Fones and Gardner families. Dr. Purple from an
early date in his career, began the collecting of works on Ameri-
can local history and genealogy, at a time when there were com-
6 The Fields of Stockbridge and New York. [Jan.,
paratively few collectors in these lines, and had acquired, even as
far back as 1870, a library of such books which ranked as one of
the completest in the State. This library of Americana will soon
be put upon the market at auction. Many of these books are
very rare. A number of years ago he secured a volume contain-
ing as many as five of the earliest books printed in New York by
William Bradford, this city's first printer. Notable among the
five rarities are Keith's Truth Advanced, New York, 1694, and
Maule's New England's Persecutors Mauled, no place or date, but
printed in New York in 1697. His judgment was very keen, and
his "luck" very noticeable; his patience and intimate knowledge
of books often made him the happy owner of a rare volume, which
another man might have not found.
Among his effects, also, was found a great collection of material,
both in manuscript notes and printed form, rare portraits, etc.,
which the Doctor had brought together in preparation for a
History of the New York Academy of Medicine — and which he
had hoped to make his magnum opus. It is to be hoped that his
professional brethren will see to it that this design is ultimately
carried out to completion.
Singular modesty and reticence as to himself, his labors and
his plans, concealed from his friends and associates, both in the
profession and in our Society, the value and importance of his
life-work; it is only now, when death has removed him from the
spheres of his activity, that we fully appreciate the value of what
he has done. We remember his quiet ways, his few, but always
helpful words, his gentle measured speech, and the interest that
spoke so plainly from his eyes, as we "took sweet council to-
gether" in our Society and Committee meetings; and we are
thankful to have been so long permitted the companionship and
friendship of so true a man, and so wise a counsellor.
THE FIELDS OF STOCKBRIDGE AND NEW YORK. A
DISTINGUISHED FAMILY OF ANCIENT AND
NOBLE ANCESTRY.
By L. Hasbrouck von Sahler, Genealogist.
The English ancestor, Hubertus de la Feld, went over to
England from Normandy, with William the Conqueror, in 1066.
He was of the family of the Counts de la Feld, who lived in the
Chateau de la Feld, at Colmar, on the Rhine, in Alsace, who traced
their ancestry to the sixth century, and who had lived there since
that time. One of the family entertained in the eleventh century,
Pope Leo the Ninth, and his court, on their way to the consecration
of the Cathedral of Strasburg, of which the family were benefactors,
1 90 1.] The Fields of Stockbridge and New York. J
and several are resting there in the chantries that they founded.
In the third year of William the Conqueror, Hubertus de la Feld
held lands in Lancashire, undoubtedly granted for military ser-
vices, and in the twelfth year of Henry the First, John de la
Feld owned lands in the same county. Up to the time of Richard
the Second, the de la Felds were numerous, but after his reign
the name began to be changed. Owing to the feeling resulting
from the wars with France, the prefixes were either compounded,
with the surname Delafeld-Delafield, or left off, as Feld-Field.
The first of the family in America was Zachariah Field, a son of
John Field, and grandson of John Field the noted astronomer,
who was the first to introduce the Copernican system into Eng-
land. Zachariah Field was born at the old home at Ardsley, in
Yorkshire, about 1600, and came to this country about 1632, ar-
riving at Boston. He first lived at Dorchester, but remained
only a few years. As early as 1639, he removed through the
wilderness to Hartford, becoming one of the first settlers on
the Connecticut river, and acquiring large tracts of land, por-
tions of which are now in the center of the city. His home was
on Sentinel Hill. Owing to the dissentions that arose in the
church after the death, in 1647, of the Rev. Thomas Hooker, a
number of the settlers purchased in 1658, from the Monotuck
Indians, a territory about five miles square, north of Mount
Holyoke, and during the next two years sixty proprietors, and
their families, took possession. Over forty settled at Hadley,
and thirteen in that part of Hadley now Hatfield, and at North-
ampton. Zachariah Field settled at the latter place, probably
in the first year of the settlement. In January, 1661, he and five
others were appointed a committee "to lay out a tract of land
on the west side of the Connecticut river for house lots." This
was at Hatfield, and he received a grant of land, and removed
there, where he died in 1666, leaving the homestead to his eldest
son, Zachariah Field, Junior, who married Sarah Webb, daughter
of John Webb, of Northampton, and after the birth of their three
sons they removed to Deerfield. Shortly after their settlement
occurred the Indian massacre of 1675, one of the most awful of
that period, and consequently the surviving settlers fled to
Northampton, and other places, and not until 1782 did Zach-
ariah, Junior, and his family, return. In 1696, the second son,
Ebenezer, removed to that part of Guilford, now called Madison,
on Long Island Sound. Again in 1704, a band of French and
Indians attacked Deerfield, and burned the town, and the in-
habitants were murdered and taken captive. At that time one of
the children of John, son of Zachariah, Junior, was killed, and his
wife and two other children were taken captive to Canada. The
wife and son were soon rescued, but the daughter was kept, and as
she grew up became so infatuated with the Indians that she mar-
ried a chief. In after years she visited her relatives, but preferred
her adopted influences. Ebenezer married Mary Dudley, and their
eldest son, David, married, first Mary Bishop, second, Catherine
Bishop, third Abigail Stone, a widow. The eldest child by the
third wife, and the youngest of his sons, Timothy, was born
8 The Fields of Stockbridge and New York. [Jan.,
March 12, 1744, and inherited the homestead. He was prominent
and respected in the town, and was active in the Revolution. In
1776 he was appointed sergeant major of the Seventh Connecticut
regiment, and in 1781, he was appointed lieutenant of a company
for coast defense, and on the death of its captain, received that
commission. He married Anna Dudley, daughter of David
Dudley, descended from the ancient and honorable Dudley family
of England.
Their second son, Rev. David Dudley Field, D.D., was born,
May 20, 1781, at North Madison, and was prepared for college by
the Rev. Dr. Elliott of Madison. Entering Yale in 1798, he
was graduated with honor in 1802. He studied theology with
the Rev. Dr. Backus, of Somers, and was licensed by the asso-
ciation of New Haven East in 1803. At Somers he met his future
wife, Submit Dickinson, daughter of Captain Noah Dickinson,
who had served in the French and Revolutionary wars, and a
descendant of Thomas Dickinson, who came from England, and
settled at Rowley, Massachusetts, in 1643. They were married
October 31, 1803. As soon as Mr. Field was licensed to preach
he conducted services for a few weeks at Somers, and was urged
to become pastor, but he also received invitations to several
places and finally decided on Haddam, Connecticut, and remained
there fourteen years, when he was dismissed at his own request.
He then connected himself with the old missionary society of
Connecticut, and was sent to the new settlements on the southern
shore of Lake Ontario, and on the banks of the Oswego river,
where he remained five months. When he returned home he
passed through Stockbridge, and as he arrived on Saturday night,
he was asked to preach in the Congregational meeting house the
next day, as the pastor, the Rev. Stephen West, whose pastorate
continued for sixty years, was beyond active service. The people
were so pleased with his abilities that they urged him to stay the
following Sunday, and the next, when he felt that he must return
home. Soon he received an urgent call to become the pastor,
which he accepted in the same year, 18 19. He remained there
nearly eighteen years, when a division arose in his former parish
of Haddam, and he was asked to return to them, and try to unite
the two factions. At his request he was dismissed from Stock-
bridge, and re-installed at Haddam, in 1837. Williams College
conferred the degree of Doctor of Divinity that year. After
seven years, as the parish was too large, it was divided, and he
took charge of the new church at Higganum, two miles north of
the original church, and he remained there seven years. In 1848
he went, with his son (Justice) Stephen J. Field, to England,
spending several months in London, and travelled in France and
Belgium. At the request of his children, in 185 1, when he was
seventy, he returned to Stockbridge, to spend his remaining years
in less activity. He was especially interested in historical re-
searches, and was at one time vice-president of the Connecticut His-
torical Society, and a corresponding member of the Massachusetts
and Pennsylvania historical societies. In 1819, he published a
history of Middlesex County, Connecticut, and in 1829 was pub-
l9oi.] The Fields of Stockbridge and New York. 9
lished the history of Berkshire County, which he, assisted by
many of the neighboring ministers, wrote, and which he edited.
A historical address delivered at the second centennial of Middle-
town, Connecticut, grew into a book of several hundred pages,
and he was also interested in the genealogical element of history,
for he published the Brainerd Genealogy. In his youth he es-
pecially attracted the admiration of the Rev. Dr. Benjamin Trum-
bull of North Haven, the historian of Connecticut, who antici-
pated that he would be his associate or successor, but the urgent
call from Stockbridge came before his plans were formed. He
was very painstaking in his ministerial work, both in the theo-
logical and parochial parts. Several of his discourses were pub-
lished. .
The ten children of Dr. Field and Submit Dickinson were:
David Dudley, the distinguished lawyer, born 1805; Emilia Ann,
married Rev. Josiah Brewer, a missionary in the East; Timothy
Beals, an officer in the navy, who died young at sea; Matthew
Dickinson, a manufacturer and civil engineer; Jonathan Edwards,
a lawyer, who finally settled and remained during his life at
Stockbridge; Stephen Johnson (first), died young; Stephen John-
son (second), Justice of the United States Supreme Court; Cyrus
West, the father of the Atlantic telegraph; Rev. Henry Martyn
Field, D.D., long associated with the New York Evangelist, and a
well-known traveller and author, and Mary Elizabeth, married
Joseph Frederick Stone.
The eldest son, David Dudley Field, was born at Haddam,
February 13, 1805. His first instruction was from the common
school, but when he was nine he commenced, under his father's
guidance, to study Latin, Greek and mathematics. When he was
fourteen, his father removed to Stockbridge, where he attended the
academies of that place and Lenox, and at sixteen he entered
Williams College, and was graduated in 1825. At once he began
the study of law, in the office of Harmanus Bleecker, at Albany,
and later entered the office of Henry and Robert Sedgwick, in
New York city. In 1828 he was admitted to the bar of New York
State, as attorney and solicitor, and in 1830 as counsellor, and
soon gained first rank in his profession. He found the practice
of law, which was under English influences, very complicated,
slow and expensive, and so immediately began the careful study
of and vigorous influence which penetrated his whole career, and
added greatly to his honor for legal reforms His first essay
on the subject was published in 1839. In 1847 the New York
legislature appointed him one of a commission to reform the
legal practice of the state, and the results of the two years' labor
were contained in two codes of procedure, civil and criminal. A
large portion of the civil code was adopted by twenty-seven states
and territories, and was the basis of the legal reform, established
by the judicature acts of England, and the practice of several
of the British colonies, including India. In 1857 the New York
legislature appointed him the head of a new commission to codify
the entire laws of the state, and in 1865 they reported a civil,
penal and political code. The work of the two commissions de-
IO The Fields of Stockbridge and New York. [Jan.,
volved principally on Mr. Field, and covered the general laws of
the United States, common and statute. The states of California
and North and South Dakota were the only ones to adopt the laws
in full. New York accepted the code of criminal procedure and
the penal code, while the civil code has been twice passed by the
legislature but has been defeated by the governor. In 1861 he
was a member of the peace conference at Washington. In 1867
he brought a proposition for an international code before the
British Association of Social Science, and this led to his preparing
a work on the subject, including the principle of arbitration be-
tween nations, and called the "Outlines of an International Code,"
although it was a very complete treatise. It attracted widespread
attention in Europe, and was translated into French and Italian.
In 1873 he was one of the founders of an international association,
to reform and codify the laws of nations, with the special pur-
pose of arbitration instead of war. He was elected, in 1877, to
the House of Representatives. In 1890 he presided at the great
peace convention in London. In 1884 he published a col-
lection of his speeches and arguments before the United States
Supreme Court, and miscellaneous papers — a book of decided
interest. In 1893 he read a paper, prepared by request, on
American Progress in Jurisprudence and Law Reform, connected
with the Columbian Exposition at Chicago. This was his last
important public appearance, and I am fortunate in possessing an
autograph copy of the paper, which he presented to my father,
J. Hasbrouck von Sahler. Mr. Field was a man of great height
and splendid presence, capable, broad and cultivated mind,
courtly and gracious manners, and distinguished legal career,
with many honors. Like all men, especially public men, he had
his detractors, but that he did beyond human knowledge for his
countrymen and others, by his almost life-long and active advo-
cacy of legal reforms, must be credited to him. Although Mr.
Field was in his old age and I in my boyhood when we became
cordial friends, his manner was always most considerate, and I
shall continue to hold our conversations, and his letters, in appre-
ciation. Mr. Field had by his first wife, Jane Lucinda Hopkins,
sister of Mrs. Mary Hopkins Goodrich, founder of the Laurel
Hill Society, and a descendant of the Rev. John Sergeant, mis-
sionary to the Stockbridge Indians, two children, Dudley Field,
who married Miss Laura Belden, and died without issue, and
Jeanie Lucinda, who married Sir Anthony Musgrave of England,
and who became the mother of Mr. Field's only grandchildren.
"Eden Hill," Mr. Field's country place, at Stockbridge on Field
hill, was one of the finest estates in the Berkshire hills, and
not far from the mansion, is still standing the ruins of the old
Sergeant homestead, built by the missionary in 1737, and for
which he had much veneration, saying that it should never be
removed during his lifetime. He suggested and wished me to
write a magazine article about the same — "Memories of the
Homestead of John Sergeant, Missionary to the Stockbridge In-
dians," which would include mention not alone of the Sergeants
and the Indians, but many of the early families and noted visitors,
Igoi.] The Fields of Stockbridge and New York. II
and I had started the article at the time of Mr. Field's death, but
have never completed it. On the site of the mission house, near
the later Congregational Church, Mr. Field built a stone chimes-
tower as a memorial of the mission, and gave a set of chimes, as
a tribute from his grandchildren to their ancestor Sergeant, and
in his will he provided for a chimes-ringer. Mr. Field traveled
extensively abroad, receiving many pleasing attentions, and on
his return from his last trip, in the spring of 1894, he took a severe
cold, which resulted in his death on the the thirteenth of April,
and he was laid to rest in the Stockbridge cemetery.
I will also mention briefly two other brothers.
Stephen Johnson Field was born July 11, 18 15, at Haddam,
and when he was thirteen went to the far east with his sister, and
her husband, the Rev. Mr. Brewer, a missionary. On his return,
in the fall of 1832, he entered Williams College, and was gradu-
ated in 1837, with the highest honors of his class. He studied
law with his brother, David Dudley Field, and on his admission
to the bar, a partnership was formed, which continued until
the spring of 1848, when he went abroad for a year's traveling,
and on his return, in the fall of 1849, he settled in California,
where he held many public honors, the last being the office of
chief justice of the state, and at the time of his death, in 1899,
he was one of the associate justices of the United States Supreme
Court.
Cyrus West Field, was born November 30, 1 819, at Stockbridge
and went to the common schools and academy there. As his am-
bition was to become a merchant, at fifteen he went to New York,
and became a clerk for A. T. Stewart. At twenty-one he was es-
tablished as a wholesale paper merchant, to which business he
devoted himself with the exception of a trip abroad, for about
twelve years, when he desired to retire from business, but the
wishes of his junior partners were considered instead. At this
time he traveled extensively in South America, where his com-
panion was F. E. Church, N. A., the artist. In 1854 Mr. Field
first thought of the Atlantic telegraph, which made him famous,
but its history is too long to detail in this place. Undoubtedly
the guiding hand of his brother, David Dudley, was of great
assistance, although full credit must be given to Mr. Field, and
the prominent men associated with him. He received many
medals, the thanks of Congress, and other honors at home and
abroad. Subsequently he was engaged in other large enterprises,
among which was the construction of the elevated railroad in
New York city. He died July 12, 1892.
The Field ancestry is interesting to trace through the past
centuries, as it has produced many men of especial note, whose
influences have been far spreading, but in this sketch I have been
obliged to confine myself to a very few and to treat them briefly.
The family are now represeuted in Stockbridge by the Rev. Dr.
Field.

Military Tract, was at once followed in July, 1790, by the
allotment of lands to the holders of the soldiers' claims and
land patents were issued by the state to the names of the
soldiers entitled to recognition. The transfer of claims at
once increased, and the discovery by claim-buyers, that many
ex-soldiers had duplicated their sales, brought the custom of
annexing to transfers an affidavit of no prior sale. Begin-
ning with July of this year, the transfers begin to state
specifically the land conveyed, described by lot-number and
name of township.

THE COREY FAMILY OF SOUTHAMPTON, AND
SOUTHOLD, LONG ISLAND, N. Y.
Written also Core, Cory, Corrv, Corrie, etc.
By Lucy D. Akerly, of Newburgh, N. Y.
(Continued from Vol. XXXI., p. 229 of The Record.)
4. Isaac' Corey {John1), of Southampton and Hashamomack,
d. 8 Mch., 1702. His father, John Corey, Sr., gave him a deed of
most of his possessions, on 6 July, 1680. {Southold Town Records,
I., 115)
Isaac was rated at Southampton in 1683, on ^148, 3 shillings,
and 4</. In 1686, as an inhabitant of that Town, he drew lot No. 50
of the Acobogue meadows, in connection with Henry Ludlam.
He afterwards removed to the Town of Southold, where he
owned over a hundred acres in 1695.
1 90 1.] Corey Family of Southampton and Sou t hold, Long Island, N. Y. 31
Letters of Administration on his estate were issued to his
widow, Sarah, on 21 May, 1702. (Pelletreau's Early Long Island
Wills.)
Sarah's maiden name was probably Ludlam, or Linde, but
could hardly have been Conkling as some suppose. Her marriage
to Isaac Corey in 1682, is recorded in the Mss. Southold Town
Records. The original entry began " Ludle,n and has apparently
been rewritten "Lindley," at some later time.
It does not appear that Lindley was a Long Island name at
that date, while the fact that Isaac Corey was appointed Admin-
istrator of the estate of Anthony Ludlam, with the widow Sarah
Ludlam, and Anthony, Jr., makes it probable that Isaac Corey's
wife, Sarah, was a daughter of Anthony and Sarah Ludlam.*
The following quaint receipt, might however, point to some
connection with New London.
"Southold, July ye 14:98-
Then Reseved of Isaac Corey the sum of twellfe
pound curant mony of New England, which was a legasi
left to them by their father, Daniel Comstock leat of

vi. Jonathan, b. 4 Sept., 1697. "His brother David, who
had inherited, most, if not all, of his father's real
estate, felt it a pleasure, if not a duty, to bestow
lands on his kindred." He gave Jonathan 48 acres
of land, on 20 Sept., 17 18-19. Jonathan was living
at Southold, on 8 Oct., 1747; he m. Mary, probably
da. of Jacob Conkling, 9 Jan., 1719-20. She d. (per-
haps), 4 Sept., 1 72 1. Jonathan's son, Isaac, d. in
1739, and another son d 24 Aug., 1731, as. 1 year.
Jonathan may have had a son Jonathan, who went
to Orange Co., N. Y., as a marriage between Jona-
than Kore of Goshen, and Rebecca, widow of John
Conkling, is recorded at East Hampton, L. I., on
14 May, 1745.
The will of a Jonathan Corey, of Orange Co.,
dated 10 Dec, 1768, proved 11 Feb., 1770, men-
tions his wife, Patience; children: Elnathan, and
Jonathan Corey; Mary Smith, Lois More, and
Temperance Shepherd; grandsons: Jonathan, son
of Abraham Shepherd, and John, son of Elnathan
Corey.*
5. Jacob2 Corey (John1), of Southold, d. 15 Feb., 1706. A list of
Jacob's lands will be found in the Town Records. He was Over-
seer, and Patentee of Southold, in 1676. He was worth ^92 in
1683, while three years later his household was composed of two
males and five females.
Griffin in his Journal names Jacob Corey in his list of the
thirteen earliest settlers of Southold. This oft-quoted list is not
supported by any documentary evidence whatsoever, as has been
ably shown by the late Mr. J. Wickham Case, and also by Dr.
Epher Whi taker, in his History of Southold. The will of John
Corey first, mentioned above, is proof that Jacob was of the
second Corey generation.
He married, as early as 1672, Ann (Tuthill?), who died on the
11 April, 1739. Issue, named in the order given in the Census of
1698:
i. Jacob, Jr.,3 b. about 1673, he died suddenly in 1745, ae.
72. His wife probably d. 26 Feb., 1731. The deaths
of two of his children are given in the Salmon Record.

Corey's da. Mary, who m. in 1748, John Wiggins, Jr.,

Dorothy, da. of John Corey, d. 3 June, 17 16. It
is supposed in Moore's Indexes, and Griffin's Journal,
that Jacob had a son Abraham. There seems to be
no evidence of his existence. (See ante, John,3 son
of Abraham' Corey.)

+ Thomas,2 son of Thos. and Katherine (Harssant) Payne, came to Salem, Mass., from Wrent-
ham, Suffolk, Eng.. in 1637, with his wife Elizabeth and six children. Thos.2 was b. in England,
11 Dec, 1586 ; his will dated io:2d. mo., 1638, was proved in the Salem Quarterly Court, 5mo.,
1644. The inventories of both Elizabeth, his wife, and their son Peter, were dated Southold,
L. I., 15 Sept., 1658. Peter's widow Mary was the 2d wife of Jeremiah Vail.
From the Southold Land Records, and the discovery of the unrecorded will of John Payne,
it would appear that he was son of Peter, aforesaid, and not of Peter's brother John, as formerly
supposed.
The said will, dated Southold, 3 Feb., 1706-7, proved 3 Oct., 1707. mentions " Wife Jemima,
das. Mary Corye and Martha Case, sons Alsop, John, and Peter Paine, sons-in-law Abraham
Corye, and Henrv Case, Jr."
Jemima, da. of Jos. and Elizabeth (Preston) Alsop, gr.-da. ofWm. and Mary (Saybrook)
Preston, was b. in New Haven, 10 Feb., 1670, and m. to John Payne, 2 Mch., 1691-2.

John King, in his own family record. From this fact, taken in connection with the names
Margaret and Abraham, borne by two of Ensign King's children, Mary (Corey)King, and Mar-
garet (Corey) Lynde, have been placed as children of Abraham Corey, Jr.

Dotted, as the map of Staten Island is, with the old burial
grounds of families antedating the Revolution, and in danger, as
these "graves of the households" are, at the hands of building
speculators, stray cattle and land improvers, a gleaner after Time
desires to preserve these sepulchral memorials in the columns of
the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, know-
ing well their value to the genealogist and their utility to the
''joiner" of patriotic societies.
Ketchum s Hill, situated about a mile from Richmond, holds
on its apex an old burial ground, where British soldiers as well
as embattled farmers await the Last Reveille. One stone has
been uprooted by cattle, another is in fragments (but was pieced
together and transcribed).
The names, dates and material facts on the 23 monumental
stones existing March 11, 1900, are hereunder set forth. The
fate of these memorials is not difficult to foresee, on a vacant
farm, overrun by cattle.

GEORGE BANCROFT.
Address by Gen. James Grant Wilson, at the Centennial
of the Historian's Birth, Worcester, Mass.,
October 4, 1900.
The foremost American historians are generally ranked in the
following order: Bancroft, Prescott and Motley, although Thomas
Carlyle in conversation with your speaker claimed that to arrive
at their proper standing their order should, in his judgment, be
reversed. Said the Chelsea philosopher: "I have read Prescott's
and Bancroft's books once, but this," pointing to an open volume
on his library desk, "is my second reading of Motley's 'Dutch
Republic,'— a grand history." A few weeks later, having pre-
sented a letter of introduction from Bancroft to Leopold Von
Ranke, he remarked: "I am happy to welcome to Berlin a friend
of the greatest of American historians." But whether George
Bancroft's place is properly first or last among the Americans
mentioned, we may all agree in believing that he is rightfully
entitled to the centennial honors paid to his memory by his native
town.
It is a curious circumstance that the four leading American
historians should all have been natives of Massachusetts— Wil-
liam H. Prescott (1796-1859), George Bancroft (1800-1891), John
Lothrop Motley (1814-1887), and Francis Parkman (1823-1893).
Three of these writers inherited fortunes, while the fourth mar-
ried a wealthy wife, so that they were all enabled to pursue their
historical investigations without the necessity of providing for
the support of families by feeding them, as Douglas Jerrold jocu-
larly described it, out of an inkstand.
Bancroft was graduated from Harvard with honors at the
early age of seventeen, winning during his course the particular
favor and regard of President Kirkland, and three years later he
received the degree of Ph.D. from the University of Gottingen.
At this time he selected history as his special branch, naming as
one of his reasons the desire to see if the observation of masses
of men in action would not lead by the inductive method to the
establishment of the laws of morality as a science. Removing to
a 2 George Bancroft. [Jan.,
Berlin, he became intimate with Schleier, Savigny, Lappenberg,
Alexander and William von Humboldt and Von Ense, and at
Jena he made the acquaintance of Goethe, who in conversation
with the young American was enthusiastic in his praise of Lord
Byron, pronouncing him "the greatest of living poets," and ex-
pressing regret that he had never seen the New World. Ban-
croft studied at Heidelberg with the historian Schlosser, and in
1822 he returned to his native land, accepting for one year the
position of tutor at Harvard.
Perhaps no better picture of Bancroft at the close of his stu-
dent life could be presented than is contained in a note of intro-
duction from the younger Humboldt to Pictel, of Geneva, which
city the young American visited before returning to the United
States: "II prends la liberte mon respectable ami et confrere, de
vous recommander un jeune American qui a faite d'excellentes
etudes de philologie et d'histoire philosophique en Allemagne M.
Bancroft est bien digne de vous voir de pres; il est l'arni de mon
frere et il appartient a cette noble race de jeunes Americains qui
trouvent que la vrai bonheur le l'homme dans la culture de l'intel-
ligence."
Twelve years later Bancroft published the first volume of his
"History of the United States," and in 1874 the tenth and con-
cluding volume of his magnum opus appeared, the author during
that period filling a place in President Polk's Cabinet; also, later,
representing his country at the British and German courts.
During the Franco-German war, while residing in Berlin, Ban-
croft celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his graduation at Got-
tingen, and in reply to congratulations from Bismarck, then in
the field, he sent him a letter dated September 30, 1870, saying:
" I was equally surprised and delighted that while you are
tasked with the work of renovating Europe you yet found time
to send me lately a friendly congratulation on my being spared
so long. It is indeed a great happiness to survive until these
times, when three or four men who love nothing so much as
peace, and after long and hard service were only seeking to close
their career in tranquility, win, during a war of defence, more
military glory than the wildest imagination conceived, and in
three months bid fair to bring the German hope of a thousand
years to its fulfilment. So I gratefully accept the good- will con-
ceded to my old age; for old age, which is almost always nearest
to eternity, is this year mightiest on earth, this German war be-
ing conducted to its ends by the aged. You; to be sure, are
young, but Roon must be classed among the Venerables; Moltke
is within twenty-three days as old as I am, and your King in
years and youthfulness excels us all. May I not be proud of my
contemporaries? Retain for me your regard in the little time
that remains for me."
Before Bancroft's departure from Berlin he was overwhelmed
with honors. The Roval Academy gave him a farewell dinner,
and the universities of'Berlin, Heidelberg and Munich united in
a parting tribute signed by fourscore and ten professors. The
document says: "Your name is the intellectual possession of
1 90 1 . ] George Bancroft. 4 3
every one among us. You have contributed to the most com-
plete understanding of the problems set for a free people in that,
as one of the foremost historians, you have portrayed those im-
mortal deeds which led to the rise of a great free State beyond
the sea and which will find in every age a response in the hearts
of free-minded men. We feel a just pride that you may be re-
membered among those who most thoroughly appreciate German
science. We can recall with satisfaction your name to prove that
as the representative of the United States you combined the
spirit of true scientific procedure with the insight of a states-
man."
In a communication from Washington, when past fourscore,
to your speaker, the venerable historian writes: "I have your
valued letter and have made one or two corrections in the article
about myself which you kindly sent me. There is one point
which was further reaching than is mentioned in the article.
Great Britian, you will remember, for a long period refused to
concede that her emigrants, whether from Great Britain or Ire-
land, to the United States, might throw off their allegiance to the
mother country and become citizens of the United States. The
principle involved in this question was the one I had to discuss
with the Government of Prussia, and in a treaty obtained the
formal recognition of the expatriation at the will of the indi-
vidual emigrant. A certain degree of supremacy still attaching
to several States, I negotiated with them all, one by one, a corre-
sponding treaty. England watched the course of negotiations,
resolving to conform to the principle which Count Bismarck
might adopt for Prussia. It was this treaty with the German
powers which in fact settled the question for Great Britain, who
immediately gave up the claim to perpetual allegiance and ac-
cepted for its own dominions the principle which Prince Bis-
marck had accepted for Germany, so that the treaty with Bis-
marck was in fact a settlement of the whole question with Great
Britain."
In another letter to your speaker Mr. Bancroft says: "Great
Britain had raised a doubt as to the interpretation of the treaty
settling the northwestern boundary of the United States. I, who
had been a member of the Polk Cabinet when the treaty was
framed, and who, as Minister to England after the formation of
the treaty, saw the first beginning of the attempt in England to
change the line in a way very much to the interest of Great
Britain, successfully prevented the progress of the attempt. Mr.
Seward had with England agreed on Switzerland as an arbitra-
tor, and had further agreed that the arbiter might make a com-
promise boundary. This was a kind of confession that would
naturally lead the arbiter to a compromise decision, which might
grievously offend neither party. Soon after Mr. Seward's death, I,
who was then Minister at Berlin, wrote to the Government that
where each party consented to a compromise, a compromise was
pretty certain to be the decision of the arbiter, and that if they
would adhere strictly to the point that the arbiter should have
nothing to do but to decide the meaning of the treaty, and would

agree to the King of Prussia as the arbiter, I believed that Prus-
sia would not be swayed by any family connection, but would
certainly deliver a righteous verdict, and I recommended that
that course be adopted. General Grant's Cabinet, which followed
Mr. Seward, never for themselves entertained the idea of a com-
promise, and they adopted my proposal of referring the matter
to the King of Prussia. The argument, and the reply to the ar-
gument of Great Britain, were written, every word of them, by
myself."
The settlement of the Oregon question, which brought us
periloiisly near war with the mother country, was Mr. Bancroft's
last public service. At the opening of the argument submitted
to the German Emperor in December, 1871, he said: "The treaty
of which the interpretation is submitted to Your Majesty's arbit-
rament was ratified more than a quarter of a century ago. Of
the sixteen members of the British Cabinet which framed and
presented it for the acceptance of the United States, Sir Robert
Peel, Lord Aberdeen and all the rest but one (Mr. Gladstone) are
no more. The British Minister at Washington who signed it is
dead. Of American statesmen concerned in it, the Minister at
London, the President and Vice-President, the Secretary of State
and every one of the President's constitutional advisers except
one have passed away. I alone remain, and after finishing the
threescore years and ten that are the days of our years, am se-
lected by my country to uphold its rights." Nine and twenty
years have passed since these pathetic words were spoken by the
American Minister. During that period he and the single sur-
vivor of Sir Robert Peel's Cabinet have followed their distin-
guished contemporaries — Bancroft in 1891 and the gifted Glad-
stone seven years later.
Mr. Bancroft's well-appointed Berlin residence on the Thier-
garten was, said Ranke, the most popular house in the German
capital, for there all classes could meet together in friendly inter-
course. Statesmen, scholars, soldiers, poets, artists and men of
science met at his house and table. Bismarck and Von Moltke
were not infrequent guests, and there could be seen the diplo-
matic circle and such men as Dorner, Droyson, Helmholtz,
Mommsen and Von Ranke. Bancroft often rode on horseback in
company with the great Chancellor, and visited him at Varzin,
where no other member of the Diplomatic Corps was ever re-
ceived. "To this day," said Professor Ranke in 1883, "I have
never ceased to regret the departure from Berlin of my friend
George Bancroft." The American, speaking of the German his-
torian, said he recalled the description Johnson gave of Garrick,
"as the cheerfulest man of his age." While he prefers to burn
the midnight oil, continuing his labors until 1 or 2 in the morn-
ing, I have always preferred to work by daylight, doing, like Sir
Walter Scott, much of my writing before breakfast. In Summer
I was often at my desk before 6 o'clock. My afternoons and
evenings are devoted to exercise, reading and society. For fifty
years it has been my habit to spend several hours of each day in
the open air, and to that practice I chiefly attribute the preserva-
1 90 1 . ] George Bancroft. 4 5
tion of my mental and physical health to nearly fourscore and
ten. In answer to your speaker's inquiry he said: "No, I do not
recall anv historian except my friend Von Ranke, who continued
to work "beyond eighty-nine, and but few scholars that have
reached that age— Sophocles, Fontenelle and Chevreul— being
three instances which occur to me at the moment."
When nearly fourscore and ten, and after he had abandoned
his favorite exercise of riding on horseback, your speaker accom-
panied Mr. Bancroft on an afternoon walk from his house in
Washington. Arriving in Georgetown, where we turned after a
half-hour's stroll, and thinking the venerable man might be
weary, his companion remarked that perhaps they had better
take a passing street car and ride back. To this suggestion the
still vigorous veteran promptly replied, "Are you fatigued, sir?"
and so" they completed their three or more miles' walk. They
chanced to' meet again that evening at a dinner table, when the
historian, none the worse for his long walk, merrily related how
he had tired out his young New York friend, who became fatigued
and wished to ride back. A few days later your speaker was one
of a small circle who enjoyed listening to Mr. Bancroft's remin-
iscences of Bvron, Bunsen, Goethe, Guizot, Humboldt, Macaulay
and many other celebrated men with whom he was acquainted
during the first half of the century.
The eminent statesman, scholar and historian died in his
Washington residence, January 17, 1891. An official announce-
ment of the event was made by the President of the United
States, and the Senate, on motion of Senator Hoar, adjourned in
order that its members might attend his funeral. Among the
many tributes received by Mr. Bancroft's son was the following
telegram from the Emperor of Germany, transmitted through
Count Arco Valley, the German Minister at Washington:
"Sir: His Majesty, the Emperor and King, remembering the
relation of friendship which for many years existed between His
Majesty the late Emperor William and the late Hon. George
Bancroft as Minister of the United States to Berlin, has directed
me to express to you, and to your family, his most sincere sym-
pathy with the great loss which has fallen upon you and your
country."
The funeral was held at St. John's church, and was attended
by the President and Mrs. Harrison, the Cabinet, the Diplomatic
Corps, and chief Government officials. The floral tributes were
numerous and beautiful, one being from the President of the
United States, and another, placed on the coffin, was the gift of
William the Third, Emperor of Germany.
Von Ranke, shortly before his death, expressed a desire that
his large and valuable library should be acquired by the Govern-
ment. &The historian's family and the German literary public
confidently expected that the Prussian Government would pur-
chase the' collection. There was delay in doing so, and it was
ultimately bought bv an American university. Mr. Bancroft also
wished that his collection, particularly rich in historical manu-
scripts, should be purchased by the Library of Congress. Tt was
46 George Bancroft. [Jan.,
offered to the authorities for $75,000. The same delay usually
attending government action in such affairs occurred, and the
Bancroft collection, after several years, was sold to the trustees
of the Lenox Library of New York for a larger sum than that
for which it had been offered to the nation. The library is
famous for its rare Americana, including a large collection of
English, French and German manuscripts, the latter numbering
several hundred journals, reports, muster rolls, and a large mass
of correspondence relating to the Hessian troops that fought for
George the Third in the Revolutionary War.
Like his successor in Berlin, Bayard Taylor, Mr. Bancroft
spoke German almost without accent, and in his manner and
dress often suggested a German. He was frequently seen wear-
ing a Prussian military cap, with the straight visor, and always
wore such a cap when walking or on horseback. He was fond of
reading and speaking German, and was much attached to the
stalwart servant he brought back from Berlin, who had been in
the Prussian army. By his will he left the faithful Hermann a
bequest of $365 per annum.
It is of course to his magnum opus, on which he labored more
or less during a period of half a century, that Bancroft's chief
claim to remembrance rests. It is written with what Edward
Burke describes "as the cold neutrality of an impartial judge,"
and may be consulted in all the principal libraries of Europe.
This noble work has held, and will continue to hold, a high place
not only in American literature, but in that of the world, as its
authority is everywhere recognized, and it can be read in many
languages. Perhaps the highest eulogy ever passed upon the
work was by that sturdy Englishman, John Bright, who said:
"The study which it gives or offers, and the lessons which it
teaches, surpass, to my mind, those that I have derived from or
found in any other book of history."
Since Bancroft's departure for the voiceless land, there has
been completed in the nation's capital the grandest building ever
erected for the conservation of books. In the Congressional
Library may be seen many beautiful works of art} among them
a painting by one of the leading artists of the land, representing
History. Two tablets are introduced in the picture, on which
are inscribed the names of fourteen of the most illustrious histo-
rians of the past two thousand years, on the adamant of whose
fame the stream of Time beats without injury. In that brilliant
bead-roll is included your townsman Bancroft. Of him may be
said, in the words written of Fitz-Greene Halleck by another son
of Massachusetts:
" He sleeps: he cannot die !
As evening's long-drawn sigh,
Lifting the rose-leaves on his peaceful mound,
Spreads all their sweets around,
So, laden with his song, the breezes blow
From where the rustling sedge
Frets our rude ocean's edge
To the smooth sea beyond the peaks of snow.
His soul the air enshrines, and leaves but dust below !"

THE FAMILY OF DUPUIS. DE PUY, DEPEW, ETC.
By Frank J. Conkling, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Should one become interested in the study of this family, they
would find the same eccentricities, or variations in nomenclature,
as are found in many of the family names of our early settlers.
They would discover, whichever way the scribes of colonial times,
or decision of the owner, had adorned the spelling of the name,
that in tracing back to the fountain-head or source in this country,
the line would, if brought within the bounds of Colonial New
York, lead them to one of two sturdy Huguenots, who, thinking
to improve life's fortunes, and, no doubVto~exercise religious
freedom, packed their belongings and set sail under the flag of
Holland' to the new Dutch colony so recently established in the
New World, and named New Amsterdam. These two emigrants
were Nicholas and Francois Dupuis, who came at different times,
the former from Artois and the latter from Calais, which may not
mean, as the records would infer, that they were from separate
places; for when it is understood that Artois was a Province
located in the "Department of Calais," a division of France bor-
dering on the Netherlands, it may be seen how possible it is that
both were from the same neighborhood, if not, indeed, of the
same family, and if proof was needed of a relationship, good cir-
cumstantial evidence would be found in the fact that Francois
had a son Nicholas, evidently named for the senior Nicholas, who,
with his wife, stood as god-parents to the infant when baptized
in the Old Dutch Church of New York, October 17, 1686.*
While Nicholas and Francois Dupuis appear to have been the
ancestors of the several generations in the Province of New
York following the advent in New Amsterdam of those worthy
individuals, it seems equally certain that they were not the only
• N. Y. Gen. 6* Biog. Record, Vol. x., p. 117.
ca The Family of Dupnis, De Pny, Depew, Etc. [Jan.,
emigrants of the name to this country. Rev. Mr. Baird, in his
" Huguenot Emigration to America," Vol. II., discovers among
the French settlers of Oxford, Mass., in 1691, the names: Elie
(Elias), and Jean (John) Dupuis; the former of whom he con-
ceives to be the father of the latter, whom he believes is identical
with a John he finds in 1705, and again in 1729, as an elder of the
French Church in Boston. The will of this John was made Jan-
uary 4, 1734, probated June 9, 1743, naming sons, John, Daniel,
Charles, Isaac and Elias.
In the same volume may be found an item of evident relation
to this family that was gleaned from English records by Mr.
Baird, whose research for Huguenot history has certainly been
very exhaustive. He says that: "Elie Dupeux," seaman, of Port
des Barques, on the coast of Saintonge (France), fled to England
about 168I, where he was naturalized March 21, 1682, and his
family recorded as follows: "Elias DuPus with Mary his wife,
and Elias, John, Mary and Susanna, their children." Then on
another page, evidently speaking of the same individual, he says:
"He and his wife Elizabeth with their four children, occupied
one of the French houses in Oxford." It would, therefore, ap-
pear that Elias, having lost his wife, Mary, married again and
came with his family to America, thus becoming the head of a
distinct lineage, some branches of which spell the name Dupee.
Mr. Baird finds yet another Protestant of this family, one who
early joined a French colony on the James River, in Virginia.
He was Barthelemy Dupuy, a captain of the " Household Guards"
of Louis XIV., King of France. Disregarding the advice of the
King, who promised him a substantial reward to abjure, he fled
with his wife, after the revocation of the " Edict of Nantes," across
the border to Germany, where they remained about fourteen
years, going to England in 1699, from which country they soon
after came to America.
The records of the Protestant French Church in New York
City* furnish us with a Jean Du Puy, who, with his wife, Anne, had
the following children baptized, viz.: Jeane (Jane), Feb. 15, 17 15;
Jean, Oct. 27, 1717; Daniel, May 10, 1719; Thomas, Sept. 11, 1720;
Francois, Nov. 8, 1721; Paul, July 17, 1723, and Isabelle, Sept. 6,
1727. He became quite prominent as a physician, and died in
July, 1744. His will, May 27, 1741,! mentions: wife, Ann; sons,
John, Daniel, Francis; daughters, Hester and Jane. Son John
died in New York in 1745!, leaving an only child, Anna Sophia.
Francis died before 1750 without issue.§ According to a series of
pedigrees in the "American Ancestry," the widow (Anne Charda-
voine) and son Daniel removed to Philadelphia, where Daniel
married and continued his family lineage. The " Series of Pedi-
grees" claim Doctor John to have been a native of France, born
in 1679, coming to New York via the Island of Jamaica, where he
lived in childhood. His tombstone is preserved in the wall of the
vestry room of Trinity Church.
The records of the same French Church also furnish us with

an Andrew Du Puy. He and his wife, Jane Archanbeau, had their
daughter Janne baptized there July 14, 1706. It was about two
years before that this couple were granted license to marry,* and
in October, 1703, Andrew Dupuy petitioned the Governor of
New Yorkf for new papers for his sloop Jacob, he having lost the
original papers in a shipwreck. Not finding Andrew again, it
may be safe to conjecture that he suffered another shipwreck,
thereby discontinuing a lineage of the name.
As but comparatively few of the French inhabitants became
Protestants, it is reasonable to suppose that many of the family
of Dupuis remained loyal to the Roman faith. Among these we
find the very first bearing that name of record in America, and,
singularly, though a man of position, he appears to us in a part
of the country almost unknown to white men, in the land of the
Onondagas.J He was Sieur Dupuys, and we locate him, in the
year 1656, with a company of Frenchmen, over which he had
command, at a place called by the Indians Ganentaa,§ situate
near the head of Lake Onondaga, at or near Syracuse, where he
had formed a settlement under orders of the French Governor at
Quebec, Canada. The Onondaga Indians had been converted a
short time previously to the Catholic religion, and promised the
new settlement protection; but in less than two years Dupuys
and his company, learning that they were to be exterminated
through the machinations of other Indian tribes, secretly made
their escape by water to Lake Ontario, thence down the St. Law-
rence to Quebec; thus ending a scrap of history of peculiar inter-
est to a locality that the white man did not again undertake to
settle for more than one hundred years. We are not told the
given name of this adventurous commander but finding other
Dupuys in and around Quebec a few years later, it is natural to
presume that they were related, if not, indeed, descendants of Sieur
Dupuys. It is interesting, to say the least, that among these Cana-
dian Dupuys we are permitted to find the names of both Nicholas
and Francois; then again, Moses and Paul will show a further
family resemblance when compared with the family of Nicholas
of New York, but where the connection is, this paper will not
undertake to solve.
The next mention of these Canadian Dupuys was of Nicholas.
He was also apparently in the employ of the French Government,
and one of a company sent out from Quebec to the Western
Country in search of copper and other minerals. They were en-
camped at Sault Ste. Marie, then an Indian village in the present
State of Michigan, from which place they made a report,! bearing
date 14th June, 167 1. It was sixteen years later that Paul Dupuy,
"Councillor of the King," with a company of Frenchmen, having
subdued the Indians, took, possession of the Seneca country.
Their declaration,! was " Done at the Village of Totiakton, the
largest of the Seneca villages," on the 19th of July, 1687.

probably, this same Paul Dupuis, who married in 1668 Jeanne
Gouillard; also Francois, born 1634, m. 1670 Georgette Richer;
Jacques, born 1657, m. 1687 Madelene Prevost; Louis, born 1658,
m. 1688 Barbara Debian. These were all recorded as of Quebec
except Jacques, who was of Three Rivers. All had children re-
corded except Paul. Francois had two sons baptized, viz.: Rene,
167 1, and Moise (Moses), 1673, the latter of whom came down to
Albany for a wife, where, as a matter of fact, he was residing in
July, 1697, when he married Annetje Christiaanse of that place.
The records of the Reformed Dutch Church there give Canada
as his place of birth. They seem to have settled at Champlain,
and, according to the Genealogical Dictionary mentioned, had
eight children baptized. He seems to have been the parent of
two other children, viz.: Jan Baptiste and Johannes, who were
baptized in Albany in 1696, the year previous to his marriage to
Miss Christiaanse.
So much for the outside lines of this family, which, being dis-
posed of, do not appear to affect or confuse the main purpose of
this paper, viz.: the Hudson River Depews.

EDITORIAL.
It is exceedingly gratifying to students of American history, to note that,
amid the mass of "pub. docs." issued by the various State governments in our
Union (most of them of more profit to the State Printer than to anyone else),
there are some of great historical value. In our own State, the State Historian,
Mr. Hugh Hastings, is fully vindicating by his work the wisdom of his appoint-
ment to that responsible office; and from the following, published in the N. Y.
Times of Nov. 18, 1900, we learn that he has "made a great haul" of historical
matter of the utmost importance to early New York history.
Especially interesting will be the matter found at th6 Hague, by Dr. Cor-
win, relating to the establishment of an independent Classis (or Ccectus) by the
American Churches of the Reformed Dutch faith — a movement which, about
the middle of the last century, convulsed the whole establishment, and was a
"burning queston" in the Dutch Church — dividing congregations and even fam-
ilies and old friendships, in a manner which was sad, and, at times, humorous
in its manifestation:
"To New York State must be given the credit for obtaining the original
historical documents relating to this section which have for many generations
been in the archives of Holland. The acquisition of these records from the
Classis of Amsterdam is the State's latest achievement. The volumes of them,
prepared under the direction and supervision of State Historian Hugh Hastings,
have gone to the printer. The matter was edited by Dr. E. P. Corwin, who was
sent to Holland originally by the Synod of the Dutch Church, and found there
a great mass of matter relating to New York, especially to the churches, for 178
years — 1631 to 1810. The value of this find can only be estimated by the stu-
dent of history.
J. Romeyn Brodhead was sent as State Agent under act of May 2, 1839, to
England, France and Holland to secure copies of all desirable documents for
preservation in New York. In 1845 Mf- Brodhead, in a report to Gov. Wright,
stated that the records of the West India Company had been sold in 1821 for
old paper. In all he expended about $12,000 of the public moneys, and in his
researches at The Hague passed over a mass of stuff, assuming that all that
was of interest to New York State was lost early in the present century.
In the material found by Dr. Corwin are minutes of several sessions of the
Ccetus, or early American classis, subsequent to 1754, representing some of the
most important acts of that body in connection with their assumption of inde-
- If'

pendence. The minutes of several sessions are still missing. There are many
lengthy and important papers bearing upon special local and personal themes,
which will clear up not a few obscure points in the history of the last century.
By dove-tailing what Mr. Brodhead got with this newly-discovered matter, a
complete history of the Church in New York from earliest colonial times can
be obtained.
The minutes of the Synod of North Holland begin in 1572, ten years before
those of the Classis of Amsterdam, and reaching into the days of the Spanish
tyranny. The minutes of all the particular Synods of the Northern Netherlands,
from 1572 jo 1620, have recently been collected and printed, in eight volumes.
Dr. Corwin began his examination of the minutes of the Synod of North
Holland with the year 162 1, some part of his researches being carried on at The
Hague. He examined all volumes available, covering a period of 190 years."
The New Paltz Independent publishes an article written by Ralph Le
Fever, its editor, relative to the blending of the French and Dutch at New Paltz,
which is an important contribution to the solution of a much disputed question
relating to the early history of Ulster County.
Mr. LeFever says that the first young man of Dutch origin to marry a Hu-
guenot maiden and to locate within the bounds of the patent of New Paltz was
Jacob Klaarwater, who belonged to the Bontecoe branch of the Klaarwater
family, and who married Marie Deyo, a Huguenot girl, in 1698. That on Sun-
day, the 3d day of July, 1699, they presented their first-born son, Abraham, for
baptism, and he was christened by the French pastor of the Huguenot Church
at New Paltz.
Abraham Deyo, the Huguenot patentee, married Elsje Klaarwater, a
Dutch girl, in 1702, she being a sister of Jacob Klaarwater of Bontecoe.
Then Jacob Freer, a Huguenot, married Altje VanWeyen, a Dutch maid-
en, in 1705.
Hendricus Deyo, another Huguenot, married Margaret VanBummell in 1706.
In the next generation there were other intermarriages of the Dutch and
the Huguenots, but such marriages, Mr. LeFever says, were far fewer than are
generally supposed, and the Dutch and the French did not intermarry to any
great extent until a later period.
It is to be hoped that the editor of the Independent will collate all his ar-
ticles in some permanent form, as they are valuable and interesting; and no
one living in Ulster County is more familiar with the early traditions than is he.
OBITUARY.
Bixby, Robert Forsyth, a Life Member of this Society, since Dec. 9,
1881, died at his residence in this city, 16th Oct., 1900. He was the son of John
M. Bixby and Mary Poe, the father being a native of Fairfield, Conn., where
he was born 13 Feb. 1800, dying in N. Y. City, 21 Nov.. 1876; and the mother, a
native of the South, born 12 April, 1825, and dying 27 Oct., 1854. The son,
Robert Forsyth, was born 14 Apl., 1850, at Augusta, Ga.; grad. at Trinity Col-
lege, Hartford, Conn., 1870; at the Columbia College Law School, 1872; was
engaged in real estate and in practice of law in this city, being at one time a
partner with Mayor Van Wyck; and was never married. He was a member of
the following organizations: The Union League Club, the Union Club, the N. Y.
Bar Association, the University Club, the Downtown Association, the Alpha Delta
Phi (College) Fraternity, Sons of the Revolution, the Seawanhaka Cor. Yacht
Club, the City Club, the N. Y. Athletic Club, and the American Geographical So-
ciety. His estate, including large and valuable holdings of land, orange groves,
etc., in Florida and elsewhere, was valued at $650,000, and his personal estate at
$30,000. He inherited a half of his father's large fortune in 1876, including the
property at Thirty-ninth Street and Fifth Avenue, leased by the Union League
Club. The Club has been paying the estate a rental of $12,000 a year for the
property, but for the renewal of the lease for twenty-one years additional from
May 1 next will be required to pay $25,000 a year, a striking instance of the
increase of values in real estate on this island. He had a sister, Grace S. Bixby,
who, several years after her father's death, married Casimir I. Mankowski.

Field, Osgood, a Corresponding Member of this Society, who died in
Paris, France, November 3d, 1900, was the second of seven children of Moses
Field and his wife Susan Kittredge {ne'e Osgood), and was born at No. 482
Broadway, New York City, 14th November, 1823. His father, Moses Field,
was born 4 Oct., 1779, and died December 21st, 1833; n's mother was the
daughter of Hon. Samuel Osgood, who was under Washington's adminis-
tration the first Postmaster-General and Commissioner of the Treasury of the
United States, and Member of the Cabinet. She was born 12 April, 1795; mar-
ried to Mr. Field 17 May, 1821; died May, 1834. Their children were: (1)
Maunsell Bradhurst Field, b. 22 March, 1822, Asst. Sec'y of U. S. Treasury
under the Lincoln Administration, and, later, Judge of the 2d Dist. Court
of N. Y.; died 1875; (2) Osgood Field, b. 14 Nov., 1823, the subject of our
sketch; (3) Franklin Clinton* Field, born 5 Aug., 1825, the only survivor of the
family; (4) Susan Maria, b. 13 Aug., 1827, d. Dec. 30, 1893; (5) Caroline Ma-
tilda, b. 11 March, 1829; (6) Moses Augustus, b. 15 April, 1831; (7) William
Hazard, b. 15 Aug., 1833.
Osgood Field's paternal grandfather was born 1731 ; married, 8 June, 1763,
Lydia(dau.Wm.) Hazard, of Jamestown, R. I., and d. 181 5; his wife d. 15 Jan., 1795.
Osgood Field's father, Moses, was a merchant in this city (Bradhurst &
Field), where he settled about 1800; retired from business about 1820, and trav-
eled in Europe.
The Hon. Samuel Osgood, maternal grandfather of Osgood Field, married,
(1) 4 Jan., 1775, Martha Brandon, who d. without issue in 1778; he m. (2) Maria
(dau. of Daniel) Bowne, of Flushing, and widow of Walter Franklin, of Frank-
lin Square, New York City. The Franklin mansion, from which Mr. Osgood
took his wife, was, at that time, probably the finest residence in the city; and
his acquaintance with Mrs. Franklin began by his calling upon her to learn if
it was possible that it could be procured for President Washington as a
residence, which he occupied soon after. He found her engaged in teaching
her three little girls — who afterwadrs became, respectively, the wives of De
Witt Clinton, George Clinton and John Norton. At a future visit Mr. O. became
engaged to Mrs. Franklin, whom he married 24 May, 1786.
Osgood Field, our recent associate, received his education at the French
boarding school of the Brothers Peregnet, traveled for awhile in his own
country, and then sailed for London, Eng., where he established himself in the
commission business; but subsequently retired from business and settled in
Rome, where other members of his family were then residing.
In 1880, Mr. Field married Katherine Roxana Parker, daughter of Milton
Parker, of Utica, N. Y., and cousin of Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan. Their home for
many years was in the Palazzo Colonna — and they spent several months, annu-
ally, between Rome, London, Paris, and the various Spas of Europe. It was
on his return to Rome that Mr. Field was seized with pneumonia, at Paris,
where he died, November 3d, 1900. He had survived most of his contempo-
raries, and his last visit to New York was about ten years ago.
He always retained a lively interest in American affairs, was a Fellow of
the Society of Antiquaries of London, Eng., a member of the N. Y. Historical
Society, Corresponding Member of the New Eng. Hist.-Gen. Soc'y, and, since
1882, of this Society. In 1895 he compiled and printed privately a Record and
Genealogical History of the Fields of Sowerby, near Halifax, Eng., and of
Flushing, N. Y., with some notices of the families of Underhill, Bowne, Burling,
Hazard and Osgood.
He left no issue. His cousin, the late Hickson Field, whose daughter is the
Princess Brancaccio, also lived in Rome while Mr. Field lived there, and no
American families were better known in the Eternal City. The families of
Jay, Pell, Schieffelin and Osgood are among those related to Mr. Field. Mr.
Field was interred in Rome, in a plot which he purchased some years since.

Mower, Mandeville, a Life Member of this Society since 1896, died
suddenly on October 28th, 1900, at his home, No. 673 Lexington Avenue, this
city. Born in 1836, he was the second of four children, two sons and two
daughters, the issue of Thomas Gardner Mower and Sarah Ann, daughter of
John Hardman Entwistle, of New York City. Of these four children, the two
daughters are the only ones now living. Mr. Mower died unmarried. He was
a graduate of Columbia College, Class of 1856, and spent his life in semi seclu-
sion, devoting himself to the study of plants, of which he grew quite a variety
in his own rooms. The quality of public-spiritedness was unquestioned in him;
and though he took no active part in the executive work of the various societies
of which he was a member, yet his interest in their welfare was manifested in
many ways. The following is a list of the organizations of which he was a Life
Member. Assoc, of the Alumni, Columbia Coll.; Veteran Corps of Artillery,
Military Soc. of the War of 1812: the Military Order of Foreign Wars of the
U. S.; American Museum of Natural History; the New York Historical Society;
the American Historical Association; the St. Nicholas Society of the City of
New York, and the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society.
Mr. Mower's father (through whom the ancestry goes back to Samuel, who
came from Devonshire, Eng., and settled in Maiden, Mass., in 17 14), was a dis-
tinguished surgeon in the United States Army during the War of 1812. He was
a graduate of Harvard College in 1810, received his degree of Doctor of Medi-
cine from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1814, served throughout
the War of 1812 with the Ninth Infantry, and died in 1853 tne senior Surgeon
in the U. S. A., which position he had occupied for many years. His corre-
spondence with men who stood high in the political and military service of the
country was extensive, and many of these letters have been published by Mr.
Mandeville Mower in the New York Times and The Home Journal, to both of
which he was a frequent contributor on historical subjects.
Mr. Mower's death removes from our list of members a name valued and
honored; and his absence from our meetings, at which he was a regular and
constant attendant, will be noted with sorrow.
Paul, Fulton, was elected a member of this Society October 12, 1894.
He was born in the City of Hudson, in the County of Columbia, on the 17th day
of April, 1841, and died there on Saturday, June 16th, 1900. His ancestor was
Richard Paul, one of the Puritan settlers of Massachusetts Bay, whose wife
was Margarie Turner of Cohannet. His great-grandfather, Samuel Paul, was
a captain in both the Provincial and Colonial forces. His mother Catherine
Fulton, was descended from the Fultons of County Derry, Ireland. Mr. Paul
was educated at the Bradbury Classical Institute at Hudson, The Barstow
Classical School at Newton, and The Williston Seminary at Easthampton,
Massachusetts, where he fitted for Yale, which he was prevented from entering
because of the failure of his health.
In 1861 he went to the East Indies, and while in China, entered the employ
of Russel and Company of Shanghai, as assistant superintendent of the Yangtse
Navigation Company of which they were the principal owners, and for them
made nine trips to Hankow, seven hundred and fifty miles up the Yangtse,
which was as far as foreigners were then allowed to go. Resigning his position,
he went to Japan, where he was the guest of the United States Minister, Gen.
Robert H. Pruyn. In 1863 he started for home, traveling by way of Cochin-
China and Egypt. From Alexandria, he went by caravan to Jerusalem, and
from Joppa to Constantinople, where he was entertained by the then United
States Minister, Col. Morris. Pursuing his homeward journey, he visited Italy,
Switzerland, Germany and France.
In 1864 he went to the front as Provisional Pay Master for the re-enlisted
soldiers then at Harper's Ferry. In 1870 he was one of the party who crossed
the continent on the first through railroad train over the Union Pacific, in
company with the officers of that road and the representatives of the Boston
60 Society Proceedings. [Jan.,
Board of Trade. In 1872 he was Assistant Secretary of State under the Hon.
G. Hilton Scribner. In 1873 Governor Dix of New York, appointed Mr. Paul
to the position of Deputy State Treasurer, and in 1875 ne was appointed by
President Grant United States Consul at Trinidad. In 1882 he was transferred
by President Arthur to the Consulship of the United States at Odessa on the
Black Sea, and in 1884 President Arthur appointed him Consul General of the
United States to Roumania, with headquarters at Bucharest. In 1885 he repre-
sented the United States at the opening of the Hungarian Exposition at Buda-
Pesth. He resigned his position in 1886 and returned to Hudson. Shortly
after his return, he was the guest of the Directors of the Union Pacific Railroad
on a tour of inspection of the properties of that road and of the Oregon Navi-
gation Company.
On November 18th, 1889, he married Margaretta, daughter of Christopher
Myer, a native of Hanover, Germany, and the proprietor of an extensive
rubber works which bore his name. Mr. and Mrs. Paul made their home at
Hudson, where they entertained in the most charming manner.
Mr. Paul was President of the Old Cemetery Association at Hudson, and of
the new Cedar Park Cemetery of that place, and took the most active interest
in both. He was a man of high personal character, with strict notions of
honor, of most urbane and charming manners and a loyal friend.

SOCIETY PROCEEDINGS.
The opening meeting for the season of 1900-1901 was held in the Hall of
the Society on Friday evening, October 12th. The President announced the
death of the First Vice-President, Dr, Samuel Smith Purple, and referred feel-
ingly to his long and faithful services in connection with the Society. An obit-
uary and biographical sketch of Dr. Purple will be found in another part of
this issue. The paper of the evening was read by Mr. Josiah Collins Pumpelly,
entitled " Philip Freneau, the Revolutionary Poet," and Mr. Isaac Lawrence, in
moving the vote of thanks, read a poem by Philip Freneau.
The meeting of November 9th was graced with the presence of Mr. Isaac
Townsend Smith, who read a most interesting paper upon the "Early Maritime
Life of New England, by an Octogenarian." In his address Mr. Smith gave
several graphic and spirited accounts of some of the engagements in the War
of 1812, and read from contemporary English newspapers extracts bearing
upon the subject. At the close of the address the Hon. Asa Bird Gardiner and
several others related anecdotes of the war, which they had gathered from au-
thentic sources. The President announced the death of the following members:
Robert Forsyth Bixby, Mandeville Mower, and Gen. William Scudder Stryker,
and referred briefly to the character and services of each. The Committee on
Nominations, for the selection of candidates for Trustees for the term of 1901-
1904, was then appointed by the Chair, according to the revised By-Laws, and
directed to report later. The candidates selected by the Committee were
Henry R. Stiles, M.D., Thomas G. Evans and Bowen W. Pierson, all returned.
The regular meeting for December was held on the evening of Friday,
December 14th, and a large attendance of members and friends filled the hall
to listen to an address, "The Order of the Cincinnati in France," by Hon. Asa
Bird Gardiner. Comte de Sahune de Lafayette was the guest of the Society,
and the delegates to the General Convention of the Society of the Cincinnati
occupied reserved seats as guests of the speaker. At the close of the paper
Mr. Isaac Lawrence delivered an address to the Count of Lafayette in French,
and others spoke at some length upon the topic under discussion.
Some of the more important proceedings of the Board of Trustees for the
same period are as follows: Edwin H. Weatherbee elected to the Board to fill

BOOK NOTICES.
Thomas Joy and His Descendants. A Portfolio of Family Pa-
pers. Compiled by James Richard Joy, New York. Printed for the Family,
1900. 8vo, Cloth, pp. 225.
This work is the second step toward an adequate genealogy of Thomas Joy
and his descendants. Its 225 pages of heavy paper, clear type, black ink and
attractive illustrations give the descendants of Thomas Joy in the lines of his
sons, Samuel of Boston, Joseph of Hingham and Ephraim of Berwick. Thomas,
the father, settled in Boston and worked there as a builder and architect, and in
that capacity erected the first town-house, a cut of which appears in this volume.
Becoming involved in Dr. Child's protest against the restricted right of suf-
frage, he was thrown into prison, and upon being released from there he moved
to Hingham, where he died, in 1678. The details of his life as set forth in the
biographical sketch by Edmund Steele Joy at the beginning of this work are
full of interest, woven as they are among the political controversies that stirred
so often the colonists of Massachusetts Bay. The genealogical data, arranged
according to the established standard, is commendable for its lack of fulsome
eulogy; for after all, the majority of our American ancestors were just born,
married, lived useful but quiet lives, and died. This book is well indexed and
nicely illustrated; and the author's apology for the fact that it does not include
every one of the name of Joy is an unnecessary one, since we are all thankful
for his labor in giving us so much.

This volume, by the gifted Historian of our Empire State, is published as
Appendix "N" of his Third Annual Report, and forms the third volume of the
Revolutionary Series. Its contents refer more to civil than to military opera-
tions, covering the period in which France acknowledged the independence of
the Colonies, Lord North inaugurated his plan for the establishment of peace,
the Articles of Confederation were signed by eleven of the States, and Benjamin
Franklin sailed away as the first Minister to France. To all of these sub-

Genealogy of the Family of Lieut. Samuel Benjamin and Ta-

A glance at the contents of this excellent book and an enumeration of them
here is perhaps the most satisfactory review of its pages which we can give, for
these contents are interesting indeed and full of material. Under that caption
we find the following: Ancestry of Lieut. Samuel Benjamin, A Brief Account
of his Military Service, Extracts from his Revolutionary Diary; Ancestry of
Tabitha Livermore; Tabitha Livermore Benjamin; Family of Lieut. Benjamin;
Col. Billy Benjamin; Descendants of Samuel, Jr.; Nathaniel; Betsey B. Mor-
rison; Polly B. Ames; Martha B. Washburn; David, Charles and Elisha Ben-
jamin, and Ruth B. Lovejoy. Some of the illustrations are: The Coat of Arms,
Oath of Fidelity, portraits, etc. The book has grown, like many another, from
original researches after the ancestors of the compiler, until the importunities
of friends and the rumblings of conscience have impelled the author to give it
forth to the use of an interested public. Kind friends ! Splendid conscience !
It is an excellent volume, well put together and mechanically in good form.

THE NEW YORK
(gjbealogkal anb ^tograpjjkal ^tcaxt
Vol. XXXII. NEW YORK, APRIL, 1901. No. 2.
GEN. WILLIAM SCUDDER STRYKER.
By William Nelson.
The Strykers are among the oldest and best known families
in Holland, one branch having been located near The Hague for
eight centuries, and another living near Rotterdam. Many
ancient tombs of the family, with sculptured arms surmounted
by a ducal coronet, are to be seen in the old cathedral of St.
Bavon, Haarlem.
Jan Strycker came to New Amsterdam in 1652, and two years
later removed to Midwout (now Flatbush), Long Island, where
for nearly twenty years he was the Chief Magistrate, and held
various positions, civil and military, until his death in 1697, at the
age of eighty-two. His son, Pieter Strycker (1653-1741), in 17 10
bought a tract of four thousand acres in Somerset County, on
which two of his sons and four of his grandsons settled ( 1 730-1 740).
One of these grandsons (son of Jan, 1684-1770) was Abraham
(1715-1777), who removed to New Jersey in the spring of 1740.
He was the father of Christoffel H. Strycker (1 761-1805) whose
son Thomas J. Stryker (1800-1872) was one of the best known
and most respected citizens of Trenton, where he held many
public and private places of trust. He married a daughter of
John Scudder, a descendant of Thomas Scudder, who is men-
tioned in the annals of Salem, Mass., as early as 1653.
Of this mingled Holland and New England ancestry, settled
in America for two and a half centuries, was William Scudder
Stryker, born in Trenton, June 6, 1838* He was graduated at
Princeton College in 1858, and immediately began studying law,
but when President Lincoln's first call for troops came, the young
law student abandoned everything in his eagerness to respond
to his country's summons, and enlisted as a private, April 16,
1 86 1, his company being ordered on special duty the same day.
He served three months at this time. In the summer of 1862 he
assisted in the organization of the Fourteenth Regiment, New
Jersey Volunteers. He was commissioned Paymaster, with the
rank of Major, February 19, 1863, and ordered to Hilton Head,
S. C. A service more congenial to his martial spirit was opened
to him when he was made Major and Aide-de-Camp on the staff
of Major-General Quincy A. Gillmore, July 8, 1863, then in com-
mand of the Tenth Army Corps, in the vicinity of Hilton Head,

66 Gen. William Scudder Stryker. [April
S. C. Here he participated in the capture of Morris Island, July
10, 1863, and in the assaults on Fort Wagner. At a critical
moment in one of these engagements he was dispatched with
orders to a distant point. The way was swept by a storm of
shot and shell from the rebel batteries, but the gallant young
officer calmly galloped through it all, delivered his message, and
returned in safety. Thousands on both sides watched breath-
lessly that dauntless rider. Years after, at an Army reunion, an
officer told General Stryker that he and others who beheld with
straining eyes that wonderful braving of almost certain death
never believed it possible that he could win his way through the
fierce hail that hurtled across his path. Another fearful ex-
perience was the bloody night attack on Fort Wagner, on July 18,
1863. He was one of the few surviving officers who had the
pleasure of witnessing the unveiling, thirty years after, of that
superb statue erected in Boston in memory of Col. Robert G.
Shaw, who fell in the van of that attack with his heroic colored
regiment. On account of illness contracted in the arduous
service in the siege of Charleston he was transferred to the Pay-
master's Department at Columbus, Ohio. On the way he stopped
at Washington to deliver messages to the President. Mr. Lincoln
was greatly interested in the handsome young officer, and began
to question him about some of his experiences and observations,
when suddenly he saw him reel in faintness. He caught him in
his arms, laid him on a lounge, sent for and applied restoratives,
and ministered to him with all the tender sympathy of a woman,
until he recovered sufficiently to return to his hotel. Gen. Stryker
retired from the army in June, 1866, with the rank of Brevet-
Lieutenant-Colonel, and again took up his residence in his native
city. He was appointed Adjutant-General of New Jersey, April
12, 1867, and by successive appointments, of various governors,
of different politics, he was continued until his death in the office
he so highly adorned. In 1S74 he was commissioned Brevet-
Major-General.
Immediately upon assuming his position as Adjudant-General,
he set about perfecting the war records of New Jersey, and in
1872 issued a stout octavo volume containing lists of officers and
men of New Jersey in the Revolutionary War — the pioneer work
of the kind in America. In 1876 he brought out two large quarto
volumes of 1930 pages, giving the rosters and details of service of
Jerseymen in the Civil War. For many years he had been revising
and adding to the Revolutionary lists, and had also compiled
records of the service of Jerseymen in the Colonial Wars, the
Whiskey Insurrection of 1794, the War of 181 2, and the Mexican
War, all of which he hoped to have printed this year. In 1898 he
published a most admirable and exhaustive narrative of the Battles
of Trenton and Princeton, which at once took a high rank among
the histories of famous battles. His separate monographs on
historical subjects number a score or more, each and all exhibiting
the true spirit of historical research, as well as a pleasing literary

THE DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM CHADSEY.
By Dr. J. Chadsey, of Newark, N. J.
William Chadsey, a native of Wales, was born May 24 1602-
n% ; V:ZZ^J!^Wenty-thTee' and 'anded fa ^
His name Chad, from the Saxon word Cyte, meaning "a cot
age, and Sey "near the water or sea," hen^e, <<a cottafe by the
sea. All names may be supposed to have had some peculia?

significance or appropriateness either to the person, location of
residence or business. Thus, William from the Belgic Guildhelm,
reads "harnessed with a guilded helmet," or, from Welhelm, "the
shield or defence of many." Chadwick, from the Saxon Cyte and
Wye, "a bay, harbor, shelter, mansion or castle." Hence, "a cot-
tage by the harbor or sheltered place."
Chertsey and Chedsey are synonymous. Chad and Chaun are
identical. Hence we may read William Chadsey "was a shelter
or defence to his cottage or mansion by the water or sea."
That William Chadsey's progenitors came to England with
William the Conqueror in or about 1066, is not to be doubted;
that Chauncey De Chauncey and William De Chauncey came
from Amiens, in Picardy, and that they settled in Yorkshire, are
historical facts, as also that the latter purchased the Manor of
Serpenbeck in York of Odo Ballistras, who held it by gift from
King William.
This William De Chauncey lived with his son Walter in the
reign of Henry I., 1125, was styled a Baron Serpenbeck. William,
son of John, was heir to his grandfather Walter. " His body was
of delicate form, adorned with a beutiful aspect, and merry
countenance; he was endowed with great wit, and a fluent tongue;
a rare voice cultivated by skill in vocal music, which rendered
him a great favorite, and acceptable to the King's domain."
John, who was the son and heir of Sir William Chauncy of
1479, married Margaret Gifford, and they had issue: William and
Richard. William was educated at Corpus Christi, 1528.
I have noted Richard's line five generations to 1660, bearing
the name of their great-great-grandfather, spelled Chatsie,
Chasey, Chadsey. I will here notice a few of the phonetic vari-
ations of spelling this name from the Somerset House Records:
Chauncy, Chauncey, Chaunsey, Chencey, Cheancy, Chatce, Chat-
cey, Chatsie, Chatsee, Cheadsey, Chedsey, Chadsey, Chasey,
Chadley, Chadsley, Chedle)T, Chebsey, Chadney, Chassey, etc.
As descendants multiplied, names naturally lost their original
accents through various dialects — only a few decades passed,
found^many of kin estranged by name — a few of which we have
mentioned above.
Richard Chadsey of Somerset County, removed (most prob-
ably) to Monmouthshire, then Wales, on account of religious
persecutions, where the Church baptisms state that William
Chadsey, son of Richard, was baptized May 24, 1692.
1. William1 Chadsey, b. 1692, the ancestor who came to the
American Continent, and from whom all the family name in this
country have descended, had a friendly leaning toward the Quaker
Orthodox Church. He was a man of refined taste, and remark-
ably polite character; whose word was as good as his bond,
though from a sense of integrity he shrank from publicity. He
was educated in Wales and conversant with the language, and
was physically a Welshman, although his ancestors on his father's
side were English of Norman descent.
At the age of twenty-three, in July, 17 15, he left his native
land, never to be heard from by his kindred, landed in Virginia

THE FAMILY OF DUPUIS. DE PUY, DEPEW, ETC.
By Frank J. Conkling, Brooklyn, N. Y.
(Continued from Vol. XXXII., p. 56, of The Record.)
Whether Nicholas and Francois Dupuis were refugees driven
from their mother country, because of the religious persecutions
of their times, may not be known. They came too early to be
influenced by the "Revocation of the Edict of Nantes" (1685),
which caused so much terror and destruction among the French
Protestants. However, they were clearly Protestants, or they
would not so readily have associated themselves with the reformed
religion opened to them in the Dutch province, where they arrived
but a short time before New Netherland fell into the hands of
the English, and New Amsterdam became the city of New York.
Colonel Henry D. Teetor, a reputable genealogist, whp has
delved deeply among the ancient Norman records of historic
France, has discovered a very desirable ancestry for the family
of Dupuis. While not perfecting a lineage down to either Nich-
olas or Francois, he makes their descent from noble blood seem
very plausible* He starts off with Raphael DuPuy an officer of
high rank to Emperor Conrad in 1033, who afterwards appointed
him Governor over vast estates. His son, Hughes DuPuy, for
brilliant military service at the Crusades in the Holy Lands, was
granted the sovereignty of the Villa d'Acre. He was accom-
panied to the Crusades by his wife and three sons, from whom
the Colonel finds lineal descendants among "Chevaliers, Seig-
neurs, Generals, Barons, Knights, Cardinals, Archbishops, and
Statesmen." He mentions the Nicholas Depuis of this article as
the original American ancestor of Hon. Chauncey M. Depew.
On this point the writer feels it his privilege to take issue with
the Colonel, notwithstanding the meritorius work he has done, in
uncovering such a glorious ancestry of the old world.
Francois, though probably the younger of the two, was the
first to reach the shores of America. The earliest record, but
one, we find of him is the publication of his bans, 26th August,
1 66 1, in the Reformed Dutch Church of New Amsterdam. This
announcement of his coming marriage was a requirement of the
times, and is valuable from the fact that the record is the only
one found giving the place of his birth. As translated it reads:—
"Francoys Dupuis, young man of Cales, France, and Geertje
Willems, young daughter of Amsterdam." Just one month later
they were married in Breuckelen, their marriage being the fifth
of record in the Dutch church there, and is as follows: — " 26th
September, 1661, Francois duPuis and Geertie Willems, with certi-
ficate from Manhattans "f (New York). It is the belief of Bergen,
the renowned historian of King's County, that the bride was the
* In this paper, published in the April number, of " The Spirit ofjb," he does not mention
Francois Dupuis, but claims that Nicholas, the emigrant of 1662, was of the lineage of a Nicho-
las DuPuy, "Chevalier de Malti," who was killed at the "Battle of Faragosse" in i6«. He
also gives as the first Protestant Huguenot of record bearing the family name, " General Charles
DuPuy, Saighneur de Montbrun," a brave and distinguished officer, who was taken prisoner
and beheaded August 12, 1575, a martyr to his religious convictions,
t Holland Society Year Book, iSyj.
78 The Family of Dupuis, De Puy, Depew, Etc. [April
daughter of Willem Jacobse Van Boerum* of Flatbush, who came
with his family, in 1649, from Amsterdam, Holland, where the
register of bans tells us Geertje was born.
The time of arrival of Nicholas Dupuis to this country can be
very closely calculated. He shipped in October, 1662, in the
vessel " Purmer land Church" and reached New Amsterdam prob-
ably during that or the following month. A passenger listf
furnished by O'Callaghan has him and his family thus: — "Nicho-
las Du Pui from Artois, and wife and three children." Another
list gives the ages of these children as six, five, and two years.J
Two of these were undoubtedly John and Moses, who, after
growing to man's estate, settled in Richmond and Ulster Coun-
ties respectively. The wife of Nicholas Dupuis, and no doubt
the mother of all of his children, was Catharina de Vos. An
interpretation of the latter name is "The Fox." Those who are
familiar with the satirical epic entitled: "Reynard the Fox,"§ or
as published in the Low German dialect in the sixteenth century:
"Reynke de Vos," will appreciate the adaptable manner of the
Dutch clergyman, who only followed the familiar custom of the
people of his country, in entering upon his baptismal register
(Doop-Book) the nickname "Reynarts" or "Reynards" as a sub-
stitute for deVos, all of which names were variously given her.
Nicholas and his family seem to have first settled on the
"Herren Graft" (Broad Street) of new Amsterdam. || Early in
the year following their arrival, he and his wife were admitted
as members of the Reformed Dutch Church. The spring had
hardly opened when he made application, with several of his
friends, for a plantation on Staten Island, which was granted
March 19, 1663.^ This plantation appears to have continued in
the family for some years after the death of both Nicholas and his
wife, probably falling to John, who was a resident of Staten Island,
and administered upon the estate of his mother, at her death in
1705,** she having survived her husband by some fourteen years.
It is uncertain whether Nicholas ever himself occupied the
Staten Island grant, if he did, it must have been but for a brief
period, as his foot-marks seem continually turned in other
directions. He was yet a resident of New Amsterdam, just
changed to New York, when, in October, 1664, Nicholas swore
allegianceff to the King of Great Britain. The following year he
was appointed "Beer and Weigh-house Porter," J \ a rather im-
portant position of the time, from which office he may have
realized sufficient to aid him in paying for a lot he had purchased
on Prince Street in i66y.§§ He joined Captain Cornells Steen-
wyck's company of militia in 1673,11 and in 1674 paid taxes on his
* Willem Jacobse van Boerum was born in 1617, and died prior to 1698. His wife was
Geertje Hendrickse. They lived at New Lotts, L. 1. He was magistrate of the Town of Flat-
bush for several years. His children were: — Hendrick, Jacob, Geertje, and Hillegond. "Geertje
Willems from Amsterdam," who was a passenger of the "Beaver," a vessel arrived in New Am-
sterdam during May, 1661, was probablv the daughter of Willem Jacobse, and later the wife of
Francois Dupuis. t Doc. Hist. N. Y. S., Vol. III. Hoi Society Year Book, 1806.

Broad Street residence at a valuation of $2,500.* The assessor,
probably an Englishman, made the mistake of entering Nicholas
on his list as a "Dutchman." In further proof of his error,
"Nicolas Dupuis and Catalina de Vos his wife," are entered on
the membership register of the Reformed Dutch Church of New
York as having been transferred to the French Church there.
No date is given, but it was probably in the eighties, when the
Protestant French were strong enough to establish a church of
their own in the city. Within the next three years Nicholas and
his family crossed over to Long Island and settled at New
Utrecht, where, in 1677, he and his wife were members of the
Dutch Church, f but later were entered as having removed to
Bergen, New Jersey, the Dutch Church of which place admitted
them to membership in 1682.
Nicholas was unquestionably a stirring fellow, clearly a success
from a business standpoint at least. We find him in 1676 and
occasionly during the following seven years at Kingston, N. Y.
He is mentioned among the court records^ of that place as being
engaged in the fish packing business. The Hudson river prob-
ably affording him the most profitable field for a good catch, thus
accounting for his frequent visits to Kingston, which place be-
came the home of his son Moses, about i68o.§
In 1685, Nicholas sold his portion of a tract of land, located in
the present County of Rockland, || which he had previously pur-
chased in company with Pieter Jacobse Marius. October 13th of
this year he made his will,! in which he claimed New York City
as his residence. He left his estate to his widow's management,
and mentioned children, John, Moses, Aaron, Susanna and Nicho-
las, in the order as given. In 1686 Nicholas was living on Beaver
Street, when the records of the Dutch Church, New York, men-
tion "Catalina de Vos," his wife (so named), as a member. Her
church relationship with the Dutch probably being more congenial
than with the French, which latter church probably returned her
letter within a year from the time she joined. Nicholas died in
1 69 1, and his remains were probably buried from the Beaver
Street home. His children are more particularly given as follows.
The baptisms noted are all from the records of the Reformed
Dutch Church of New York, as published in this periodical.
1. John, born about 1655, married first, Elizabeth Tysen, whose
widower he was, when in 1692,** he was betrothed to Geertruytje
Jans of Kingston. Illicit discoveries however caused him to break
this engagement, and he later married a Petroneltje somebody.
According to Clute, in his "Annals of Staten Island" John was an
inhabitant there in 1680. He was Sheriff of Richmond County, ff
1698 to 1701, and was still a resident of the County in 1725, when
he made his will. It was probated \\ June 14, 1 732, and mentioned
his wife, Petronella; eldest son John, who was an invalid; sons:

Nicholas, Barent and Moses; daughters: Catharine (deceased),
Magdalena, Susanna, Elizabeth and Petronella. Mr. Clute gives
the baptism of Elizabeth as 2 2d October, 1707, and Moses, 2 2d
July, 1 7 14. He also mentions Nicholas (son of John) and his wife,
Neeltje Dekker, and gives them a daughter (not named) in 1724,
John, 1725, Mathew, 1726, Nicholas, 1730, Moses, 1732, and Aaron,
U39-
2. Moses, born about 1657, married about 1680, Maria Wyncoop,
born in Albany in 1660, daughter of Cornells Wyncoop, who later
settled at Kingston, where Moses Du Puy established his home
for a time. Later we find him farther to the south and west, in
the County of Ulster, where, in the towns of Marbletown and
Rochester, he and his sons were substantial farmers, and among
the foremost in upholding good government. In his old age
Moses married again. The record, 16th October, 1724, credits
him as the widower of Maria Wyncoop. His bride was Peter-
neltje De Pree, widow of Marinus VanAken, "both living at
Rochester." The Kingston Dutch Church Records (published)
gives Moses eleven children, all by his first wife as follows:
Mareitje, baptised April 24, 1681, Nicolaes, December 3, 1682,
Catharina, April 6, 1684, Magdalena, March 14, 1686, Cornells,
January 8, 1688, Catrina, May 25, 1690, Moses, September 27, 1691,
Benjamin, October 13, 1695, Susanna, January 9, 1698, Catharina,
November 30, 1701, Jacobus, September 19, 1703. He probably
also had a son Johannes, who married December 26, 1725, Sara
Van Steenberg. Marriage records of the other sons of Moses are
as follows: Nicholas De Puy and Weyntjen Roosa, March 22, 1707,
Cornells De Puy and Catrina Van Aken, May 6, 17 13, Moses De
Puy and Margrietje Schoonmaker, February 14, 17 16, Benjamin
De Puy and Elisabeth Schoonmaker, September 3, 17 19, Benjamin
married 2d, December 13, 1735, Eicke Dewitt, Jacobus De Puy
and Sara Schoonmaker, August 26, 1725. These five, and probably
six sons of Moses, each head a separate lineage that may not be
difficult to trace. This branch is represented among the early
settlers of the Minisink Country, and along the Delaware in
Pennsylvania.
3. A child born to Nicholas about 1660. It was two years old
when they reached America in 1662. It probably died young.
4. Joseph, baptised February 5, 1663. He has no further
record, probably never reached maturity.
5. Aaron, baptised November 30, 1664. No record of him
further than that his name appears in his father's will, 1685-1691*
6. Magdalena, baptised February 16, 1667. No record.
7. Susanna, baptised April 7, 1669, married(?)* before 1700,
Obadias Winter; m. 2d(?)* about 1704, John Pamerton.
8. Nicholas, baptised July n, 1670. "Nicolaes Depuis, Jr.,"
was sponsor at Kingston, May 25, 1690, but no further record, ex-
cept the mention in his father's will.
9. Paulus, baptised August n, 1675. Probably died young.

THE BOOK CONTAINING THE KING FAMILY RECORD.
igoi.] Records of the King Family of Soitthold, Suffolk Co., N. Y.
89
RECORDS OF THE KING FAMILY OF SOUTHOLD,
SUFFOLK COUNTY, NEW YORK.
Communicated by Mr. Rufus King of Yonkers, New York.
#'*-
In the quiet and pictur-
esque old town of Southold,
on the eastern end of Long
Island, a little book has been
drifting around from one
resting place to another, for
p more than two hundred
O years, and is now, in an ex-
*■"" cellent state of preservation,
in the possession of a de-
scendant of the family whose
record it contains.
The book is about seven
inches long and three inches
~s*"" wide, bound in black leather
and had originally two brass clasps; the handwriting is clear and
very legible. On the first page is the inscription: "Samuel King
Owner of this Book, 1674."
The records following relate to the descendants of this Samuel
King who was born in England about 1633, and died in Southold
29 Nov., 1721; he was the second son of William Kinge, born
about 1595, who with his wife Dorothy and five children sailed
from Weymouth, Dorsetshire, England, 20 March, 1635, and
settled at Salem, Mass., the same year.
Samuel King just mentioned was at Southold as early as 1650;
the account of his posterity is given in the book in quaint and
characteristic style and is herein repeated verbatim et literatim.
In reading these records, it should be remembered that,
previous to 1752, the legal year began on 25 March, which was
called the first month, April the second month, etc., January the
eleventh month, and February the twelfth month. Therefore,
before 1752 an entry reading, say March 12, 1636 or 1636-7 would
mean March 12, 1637, and so on of any date between January 1
and March 25.
The Record begins:
"Samuel King his booke written in the 10 mon Ano 1674
On the next page is a cure for the gout and then follow these
entries:
Samuell King married about the 27th yeare of his age, October
the 10th Ano Dom. 1660.
My first childe William was borne ye 10th of January 1661.
My second childe Dorothy borne ye eleventh of July 1664.
"My third childe Hanah borne ye 26th of January 1666."

of Samuel King, Jr.).

follows the same hand-
writing as the record of
his marriage and con-

of the death of his wife

(At this point the following entry appears.)
"Margaret Corey (who married to Willoby Lindsf) was born
June 22nd 1 7 14 and She Died the 23 of December 1789."
(Another change of handwriting now takes place; it is bold
and very legible, and probably that of John King whose family
record it gives as follows.)
"March ye 14 day 1754 John King and Abigail Brown were
married — and our first Child was born January ye 6, 1755 And our
second child John was born March ye 14, 1756.
Our third child Gilbert was born July ye 16, 1758.
Our forth child Rufus was born September ye 3d, 1760.
* John King was married, probably, not in 1726 but in 1724, as he was about 25 years old in
that year, having been born, as the record has already stated, 15 July, 1609. This last men-
tioned date is in harmony with the inscription on his gravestone, which describes him as Ensign
John King, and as having died 28 June, 1753, in the 54th year of his age. In further confirmation
the Salmon Record contains the following entry under marriages: "John King and Mary
Corey June 25, 1724."
t Willougby Lynde was the son of Nathaniel Lynde of Saybrook, Conn., b. 22 Nov., 1659,
d. 5 Oct., 1729, and wife Susannah Willoughby, b. 19 Oct., 1664.
The entry of Margaret Corey's marriage in the King Family Record seems to indicate that
she was a near relative, perhaps a sister, of Mary Corey who married Ensign John King ; it is
also a suggestive fact that this John King had a great-grandson Lynde King, b. 6 July, 1702 ;
his gravestone at Orient reads : " Capt. Lyndes King, died Oct. 18, 1854, aged 62 years and ^
months." He was the son of Nathaniel King, Jr., whose wife was Mehitable Tuthill, and
grandson of Major Nathaniel King whose wife was Experience Young.

Signature of John King, b. 18 Dec, 1727.
Up to this point, everything contained in the book has been
given, but later family records follow and also several pages
describing boundaries of lands in Southold, owned by Samuel
King, Sr. These particulars may be made the subject matter of
a future communication to the Record.

THE RECORDS OF PHILIPPI, NOW SOUTHEAST,
PUTNAM CO., N. Y.
Transcribed and Contributed by H. Calkins, Jr.
(Question-marks and Italics are the transcriber's.)
The original, of which the following pages are verbatim ex-
tracts, is now in the possession of the Westchester Co. Historical
Society at White Plains, N. Y., and we are indebted to the courtesy
of Mr. Edward Myers and Mr. William A. Woodworth, both of
that place, for the privilege of copying and publishing these
records. The town of Southeast, now in Putnam County, N. Y.,
was formed (according to the Civil List), March 17th, 1795, from
Frederickstown and Southeast Town, both of which at that time
were within the confines of Dutchess County, and remained so
until June 12th, 181 2, when Putnam County was formed by act
of Legislature. Kent's Parish was located in what was known
as East Philippi, which is now in the town of Southeast. _ Up to
1808 the denomination of the church was congregational in form
but was attached to the Presbytery of Hudson. April, 1809, the
church asked and received dismission from that body, and on
the 20th of that month, at a meeting held in Goshen, Conn.,
joined the Consociation of the Eastern part of Fairfield County,
Conn. The volume of records is a small book with leather
cover, well preserved, but not systematically arranged. All the
matter of importance will be given in this article; the omitted
portion being the proceedings of the Elders in relation to sins of
omission and commission on the part of offending members of the
congregation. The Mr. Kent referred to on the first page was
Rev. Elisha Kent, grandfather of James Kent, sometime Chan-
cellor of New York State,

TWO DISTINGUISHED MEMBERS OF THE SEDGWICK
FAMILY— ROBERT AND THEODORE.
By L. Hasbrouck von Sahler.
Robert Sedgwick, the founder of the family in America, was
of much prominence in his adopted country. He was born
in 161 1, and was a son of William Sedgwick, a warden of St.
Mary's Church, at Woburn, in Bedfordshire, England, and his
wife, Elizabeth Howe; and his ancestry can be traced in the
North of England to the fourteenth century. He received some
military training in the London artillery, and his environment
made him an Independent in religion. In 1636, after his father's
death, he came to New England, with the Puritan settlers, and on
the third of June he was admitted an inhabitant of progressive
Charlestown, Massachusetts, where he established himself as a
successful merchant; and on the ninth of March, 1636, he was
made a freeman of the colony, and chosen captain of the Charles-
town militia. The same year, and also in 1638, 1644, 1648 and
1649, he was chosen deputy from Charlestown to the general
court at Boston, and in 1643, he was one of the selectmen. He
assisted in the formation of the famous ''Ancient and Honorable
Artillery Company," of Boston, and was chosen its captain, in
1641, 1645 and 1648. During this time he commanded a fortress
on the island, in Boston harbor, where Fort Independence now
stands, and took charge of the fortifications of the town and
harbor. In 1652 he was chosen major-general of the colony.
Previously he had been chosen sergeant-major of the first regi-
ment of Essex County, and trained his men with so much credit
that their appreciation was shown by the gift of a piece of land.
His military duties did not prevent his successful attendance to
his private affairs, and both alone and with others, he built ships,
wharves, warehouses and a tide mill in Charlestown; and at Lynn,
was associased with John Winthrop, Jr., in the establishment of
tgoi.] Two Distinguished Members of the Sedgwick Family. 10^
the first iron furnace and works in New England. His land
holdings were considerable. In 1642 he aided in setting off that
part of Charlestown called the "Village," and it was named
"Woburn" in honor of his birthplace. He was interested in the
building of a new meeting house and of a school at Charlestown,
and gave to Harvard college, then just starting on its long and
honorable career. Early in 1654, when General Sedgwick went
on a visit to England, his abilities displayed in the new world
caused Cromwell, whom Sedgwick greatly admired, to appoint
him and Captain John Leverett to take charge of an expedition
against the Dutch settlements at New Amsterdam (New York)
and up the Hudson river, but peace being temporarily restored
between the Netherlands and Great Britain, arrangements for
that campaign were dropped, and Cromwell turned his attention
to the French at Acadia (Nova Scotia), and in July, 1654, General
Sedgwick took the forts of St. John and Port Royal, with credit,
and on the second of September fortified Penobscot surrendered
to him. These successes caused the general court of Massa-
chusetts Bay to appoint a public and solemn thanksgiving.
Shortly afterwards Cromwell dispatched him with a fleet to the
lately captured island of Jamaica, to assist the troops under
Generals Penn and Venables, and after Major-General Fortescue's
death he appointed him to take charge of the army stationed
there, with the rank of major-general. This was his last honor,
as he died suddenly at Jamaica, on the twenty-fourth of May,
1656, and his death was a great loss to all associated with him,
and deeply regretted. The Charlestown homestead was in the
Market Place, and stood on, or near, the present site of the
Bunker Hill National bank, but some years before his death, he
removed his family to another homestead at Boston, on Wash-
ington street, and part of the site of the present Old Corner book-
store. If General Sedgwick left a will, it could not be found,
and his estate was administered on the thirteenth of September
of that year. In 1657, his widow, Johanna Sedgwick, was living
at Stephney, near London.
As is well known, many of the Puritans were very narrow-
minded, and were unwilling to give, when they were in power,
to others, the religious and other liberties, that they had con-
demned England for not giving to them, but Robert Sedgwick did
not belong to that class, as he showed a kindliness of heart, and
faith in his Creator, that tempered his whole life, and together
with his abilities, won the admiration and respect of those asso-
ciated with him, and I regret that I am unable to devote more
space to such a man owing to the fact that in this brief paper I
must also write of his descendant, Judge Theodore Sedgwick,
who was the first of the family in Berkshire County, and who
inherited, without question, many of his distinguished ancestor's
characteristics and abilities.
Theodore Sedgzvick was born in May, 1746, at Hartford, Conn.,
and through the affection of his younger brother, John Sedgwick,
later a major-general in the Revolutionary army, he was partially
educated at Yale College. The father had died young. Theology

and law both interested him, but he finally decided to study the
latter and entered the law office of Colonel Mark Hopkins, a
distinguished citizen of Great Barrington, Mass., grandfather of
President Mark Hopkins of Williams' College, and was admitted
to the Berkshire bar in September, 1765, when he commenced to
practice his profession at Great Barrington, but he did not meet
with the success that he wished, and so he soon removed to
Sheffield, which town he represented in the general court, both
before and after the Revolution, and where he obtained a large
practice. Mr. Sedgwick remained loyal to British rule until he
was fully convinced of its injustice, when he took a decided and
active stand for independence. In 1774, a convention of sixty
delegates, chosen by the towns of the county, met at Stockbridge
to take some action on British oppression, and he was chosen
clerk, and one of a "committee to take into consideration the
Acts 'of the Parliament of Great Britain, made for the purpose
of raising and collecting a revenue in America, and report their
sense of them." At the beginning of the war he served for a
time on the staff of General John Thomas, when that officer led a
successful expedition to Canada, and on its return his cordial and
appreciated friend (at that time), Aaron Burr, whose grandfather,
Jonathan Edwards, was associated with the Stockbridge Indian
Mission, urged him to accept the office of secretary and aid on
the staff of General Israel Putnam, but instead, during the latter
part of 1776, and throughout 1777, he was commissary for the
northern department of the army, and his able discharge of the
duties entitled him to much consideration.
In 1785 he removed to Stockbridge — his third settlement in
Berkshire County— and became the leading lawyer west of the
Connecticut river, and occupied a prominent legal position in the
adjoining counties of New York State. During 1786 and 1787 he
was active in quieting the "Shays' Rebellion," and was the
recipient of the rebels bitter dislike, as he did not approve of
their misguided attempts for righting the wrong. Mr. Sedgwick
was one of the delegates to the convention called to form the
constitution for the Massachusetts commonwealth, and also for
that which assisted in establishing the constitution of the United
States. He was a member of the continental congress, and was
continuously a member of either the house of representatives or
senate in the first six congresses, and in the last he was speaker
of the house. He was district attorney for Western Massachusetts,
and later was attorney general for the commonwealth. He was
twice a commissioner, to attempt the boundary settlement be-
tween New York and Massachusetts. At the time of his death,
in January, 1813, he was an associate justice of the supreme
court of Massachusetts, which office he held eleven years, from
1802. Washington offered him the important honor of secretary
of the treasury after Hamilton's retirement, but he declined it;
and he was also appointed a justice of the Massachusetts court of
common pleas, but did not take his seat. One of the most impor-
tant objects that interested Judge Sedgwick was American
slavery, and his efforts toward their freedom was one of his

brightest honors. He was chairman of the committee that made
the report to the house of the bill that later became the original
fugitive slave law, and he was one of the earliest members of the
Abolition Society of Pennsylvania, of which Franklin was presi-
dent, and his influence resulted in freedom for the slaves of
Massachusetts. He was a member of the American Academy of
Arts and Sciences, and Princeton College conferred on him the
degree of LL.D. In 1801, he retired from active public life, and
his remaining years were occupied with the requirements of the
state supreme court and his private affairs. Judge Sedgwick
occupied a prominent place among the lawyers and statesmen of
his day, and his strong love for right was the corner stone of his
life, both in sympathies with the continental and federal periods.
That he had enemies there is no denying, but surely he was not
alone in that respect, and while his decisions on the subjects of his
day may sometimes have been opinionated, it was because he fully
believed that he was right. His eloquent and clear speeches on
different subjects received much praise from distinguished con-
temporaries, even outside his own party. In personality he was
a gentleman in the true sense of the word, and of fine presence, a
subtle blending of inherited and individual aristocracy and de-
mocracy, and he undoubtedly felt that while an honorable ancestry
should always be decidedly appreciated, it was simply a foundation
on which to build the structure of his life work, and that the more
honorable the ancestry the more responsibility was inherited.
Judge Sedgwick was first married to Eliza Mason, daughter
of the elder Jeremiah Mason, who died within a year of their
marriage; second to Pamela Dwight, daughter of Brigadier-
General Joseph Dwight, and Abigail Williams Sergeant, former
widow of John Sergeant, missionory to the Stockbridge Indians
and sister of the founder of Williams' College, and third to Pene-
lope Russell, daughter of Charles Russell, who survived him.
His devotion to his family was one of his strong characteristics
By his second marriage he was the father of ten children of
whom three were lawyers of distinction. Theodore practiced' his
profession at Albany and Stockbridge, author of a treatise on
'Public and Private Economy," several times elected to the
Massachusetts legislature, one of the founders of the Boston and
Albany railroad, the commercial backbone of the state, and many
times nominated for governor on the democratic ticket, before
that party's state success. Henry Dwight, author of a pamphlet
on the absurdities of the pleading and practice of common law
which suggested much to David Dudley Field, who in the begin-
ning of his distinguished career, was a partner of the New York
law firm of Henry Dwight and Robert Sedgwick, the latter one of
the three mentioned brothers. A fourth son, Charles was for
many years county clerk of Berkshire. One of the daughters
^Maria Sedgwick, the first American woman novelist, is probably
best remembered of all the children. Her charming personality
good influences, gracious hospitality, distinguished friends and
clever writings, proved her to have been a remarkable woman
Many of the descendants of Major-General Robert Sedgwick (or
108 Onondaga County Records— 1791. [April,
as some of the family have called him, "the governor," from his
supreme command of Jamaica), have been people of especial
ability and prominence, up to the present time, in many of the
walks of life. The family are still represented in the old Judge
Sedgwick mansion at Stockbridge, by Henry Dwlght Sedgwick,
Esq., many years a lawyer in New York, and who possesses many
of the Sedgwick characteristics. Judge Sedgwick and many of
his descendants are buried in the interesting Sedgwick burial
ground at Stockbridge, where a noticeable gravestone is that of
Mumbet, a slave, whose freedom was due to the Judge's interest,
and who showed her appreciation, by devotion to his family,
during the remainder of her life.

In this year the tide of pioneer immigration into the Onondaga
country began, and the military claims, being now located,
assumed a definite value. At the creation of Herkimer
County the newly-opened region was included within its
limits. Among the immigrants the ex-soldiers holding land-
patents hardly appeared. Their attitude toward pioneer
effort is shown by the rapid increase of transfers by which
they divested themselves of title. The genealogical value of
the records is now enhanced by the more frequent addition of
the residence to the description of the veteran grantor, and
by the increase of acknowledgments which show precisely
the whereabouts of the grantor at specific times.

chiefly from three brothers, Thomas, Joshua and David, and their
cousin Isaac Crosby (whose wife was a sister of Mary Foster the
wife of David Paddock), who moved from Harwich, Barnstable
County, Mass., 1749-1756, and settled at Southeast and Carmel,

the early history of the family, and Pelletreau's History of Put-

known as " Harvey Birch " in Cooper's novel, The Spy), and his
descendants. This article deals more particularly with David
Crosby and his descendants.
David Crosby was born at Harwich, Mass., April 13, 1709.
He was son of John and Hannah Crosby, grandson of Rev.
Thomas and Sarah Crosby, and great-grandson of Simon Crosby,
of Cambridge, Mass. June 19, 1735, he married Reliance Hopkins,
daughter of Samuel and Lydia Hopkins, granddaughter of Stephen
and Mary (Merrick) Hopkins, great-granddaughter of Gyles and
Katherine (Wheldon) Hopkins, he a passenger with his father,
Stephen Hopkins, on the "Mayflower" 1620. Lydia Hopkins, a
sister of Reliance, was wife of Joshua Crosby, and Elizabeth
Hopkins, a cousin of Reliance and Lydia, was wife of Thomas
Crosby, brothers of David Crosby. In 1749 David Crosby and
family moved to Putnam (then Dutchess) County, N. Y., and
settled on what was known as the Oblong, in Southeast, where he
died October 20, 1793. His tombstone and that of his wife are
still standing in the Sear's Burying Ground at Southeast, his
being of white marble, with angel's face and wings at top, and
bearing the inscription: "In Memory of David Crosby the Elder
who departed this life Oct. 20th 1793 in the 85th year of his age,"
and hers of slate stone: "In Memory of Mrs Reliance Crosbey
wife of Mr David Crosbey, who departed this life Feb 25th 1788 in
the 75th year of her age." They had, certainly, four children,
and probably seven, as follows:
1. David8 Crosby, Jr., b. 1737, Harwich, Mass.; d. Nov. 16,
1816, Southeast, N. Y.
Susannah Crosby, b. 1740, Harwich, Mass.
Reliance Crosby, b. 1742, Harwich, Mass.
2. Abner Crosby, b. Dec. 25, 1744; d. May 5, 1813.
Sarah Crosby (prob.), b. at Southeast.
Eli Crosby (prob.), b. about 1749; m. Rebecca Sears. He
served in the 3d N. Y. Regt. during the Revolution,
and d. Nov. 22, 1827.
Moses Crosby (prob.), b. about 1755; m. (1) Polly ;
(2) Abigail Foster. He also served in the 3d N. Y.
Regt. during the Revolution, and d. July 2, 182 1.
1. David' Crosby, Jr., b. 1737, Harwich, Mass., took an active
part in the affairs of the town of Southeast. He was assessor of
Fredericksburg Precinct 1774-6, 1788-90, and church moderator
1784. He was a Mason, as shown by the following record of the
first Masonic meeting at Southeast: "At a meeting of a number
of the fraternity of Masons, members of different Lodges, whose
names are as follows: David Crosby, . . . Eli Crosby, . . .
Peter Crosby, . . . who are inhabitants of Frederickstown, in
the County of Dutchess, and towns adjacant, . . . the 5th day
of Dec. 1793, and in the year of light 5793." "Brother David
Crosby was appointed moderator of the meeting." "Voted: that
Bro. Crosby, moderator of this meeting, be empowered to make
application for the warrant above mentioned" (a warrant to erect
a Lodge at Frederickstown). "On return of 'Columbia Lodge'

by, Moses Crosby," David Crosby enlisted during the Revolution
in the Dutchess County Militia, Dykeman's Company, Third
Regiment, Col. John Field, in which regiment there appear the
names of fourteen Crosbys; his uncle, Joshua Crosby, was on
June 22, 1778, first lieutenant of the company from Pawling's
Precinct, Dutchess County, in Col. Field's Regiment. Although
his commission has not been found, he was known as Lieutenant
David Crosby, Jr. He was twice married, and had at least seven,
and perhaps twelve children. His first wife was Bethiah Paddock,
who was born in Yarmouth, Mass., April 17, 1737, daughter of
Peter and Sarah (Howes) Paddock (Zec/iarta/i,3 Zechariah?
Robert1), of Yarmouth, Mass., and Southeast, N. Y.; she is buried
in the Sear's Burying Ground at Southeast, the record of her
death appearing on an old-fashioned, rudely cut granite stone,
with an angel face and wings, as follows: "In memory of Mrs
Bethiah Crosby wife of Lieut David Crosby who Departed this
Life July 2, 1776 M 41." (There is probably an error in the date
on her tombstone.) Some of Bethiah (Paddock) Crosby's small
silver spoons, marked " B. P.," are still in possession of her
descendants. Nothing is known of his second wife, except that
her name was Sally. He died Nov. 16, 18 16, and is buried in the
Sear's Burying Ground at Southeast, the inscription on his tomb-
stone, a double one of white marble, being as follows: "In
memory of David Crosby who died Nov. 16, 1816 aged 79 years.
Also Bethia his wife who died July 2, 1776 aged 41 years." His
children were:

County, N. Y., where he practiced his profession for many years
and was a highly respected member of the community. He died
April 10, 1841, and she March 12, 1853. At their marriage her
father gave her half a dozen spoons which he had made from
silver dollars, marked " D. H." for Deborah Hyatt, but upon her
insisting that they be marked "D. C." another set was made.
The "D. H." spoons were lost in a fire, but several of the "D. C."
spoons remain in the family. Her "gold knobs" (earrings) are
in possession of her granddaughter, Mrs. Mary Anne (Clough)
Kimball, of Palo Alto, California. Dr. Hyatt is said to have
served in the Revolutionary War, the family tradition being that
his father had gone to the war, and Hezekiah being locked in his
chamber, climbed out of the window and followed his father,
both serving to the close of the war; that he received a slight
wound, made by a bullet shooting a twig from a tree through the
rim of his ear. Children:

EDITORIAL.
We have received from Mr. Frank W. Haskell of Niagara Falls, N. Y., a
pamphlet entitled "A Comprehensive System of Arrangement for Genealogical
Records," and its receipt impels us to break forth again in discourse upon the
subject, the importance of which appeals so strongly to the custodians of
genealogical libraries and the editors of genealogical magazines. Sad to relate
it is, that, if a treatise were compiled illustrating and discussing the many
systems for genealogical notation already in use, it would fill a good sized
volume. Experience of many years has taught us that the system long used
by our honored friends of the New England Society and by ourselves— the
system known as the "Record and Register Plan"— is the simplest, the most
comprehensive and by all odds the best yet devised; and we have still to await
an improvement upon it, which, when it comes, will receive our hearty com-
mendation. Mr. Haskell's system involves all the important features of the
" Record and Register Plan" and modifies but one of them. Instead of using
consecutive personal numbers, these are made up of digits which represent the
position each person held with regard to his brothers. For instance the founder
of the family is number 1 and his first son is number II, while the first son's
third son is number 113. ' Thus there are always as many digits in the personal
number as the person is in generations from the progenitor, hence a descen-
dant of the ninth generation will have for his personal number one composed
of nine digits, for example 132415214. We contend therefore that this is cum-
bersome, confusing, impractical, prodigal, and not to be compared with the
other system, when even in a large work the descendants of the ninth generation
will not have more than five digits, especially when personal numbers are
assigned only to ancestors who are carried forward for further descent. Aside
from this, Mr. Haskell's personal numbers show but two things, and these are
to be found in another way: first the number of the generation (which is shown
at the top of the page), and second the relative position of births, for instance
number 1533 is of the fourth generation, and is the third son of 153. We do
not therefore see that Mr. Haskell's "system" is any improvement, but on the
contrary is not so good as the established plan; and so we cry with a loud voice,
" Let's stick to the good old plan."

OBITUARY.
King, John Alsop, born in Jamaica, N. Y., July 14, 1817; died in New
York, November 21, 1900. He was a grandson of Rufus King, U. S. Senator
from New York, and Minister to Great Britain, and the second son of the late
John Alsop King, Governor of New York. His boyhood was passed in Jamaica,
where at the age of five years he entered the classical Union Hall Academy,
leaving there at the age of fifteen to enter Harvard College in the Sophomore
class. From this institution he was graduated with much credit at the age of 18.
He became a clerk in a leading wholesale grocery establishment, in which he
remained only a short time, being unwilling to conform to certain practices in
mixing goods, which were customary. He then began the study of law, and
was duly admitted to the Bar, practicing his profession in New York for
several years.
In 1839 he married Mary Colden Rhinelander, only daughter of Philip
Rhinelander and Mary Hoffman. Shortly afterwards he passed some time in
Europe, a residence there being several times repeated, and two winters in Egypt.
In 1844, loving the country, he bought a point of land at Hallett's Point, Great
Neck, L. I., on the Sound, built a house there, and made this his home during
the remainder of his life, though for many years he passed his winters with his
family in Washington, D. C, the refined society of which they enjoyed, and
after the death of his wife in 1894, in New York. His bright, affable and
courteous disposition soon won him friends among his neighbors, and of course
led him to interest himself in the affairs of the town and county in which he had
settled. Agricultural pursuits occupied much of his attention, and as a result he
became an active member of the societies in Queens County. Having decided
views on the political questions of the day, a hereditary Republican, he sought
the promotion of its principles, for which he was rewarded by being made a
president elector in 1872, and afterwards served in the Senate of New York
for two years in 1874 and 1875. ^n ^76 he was nominated in his district as a
1 1 8 Obituary. [April,
member of the House of Representatives of the U. S., but was defeated, his
district being strongly democratic. Again in 1880, he was nominated for
Congress, meeting with the same result. From that time, through to the day of
his death, he continued deeply interested in the welfare of his country; but he
was no longer prominent in politics, devoting himself to other and congenial
With' strong conscientious convictions, and a love for the church in which
he had been brought up, and whose teachings he continued through life to
accept, the Protestant Episcopal Church, he at once sought to foster the
church in his neighborhood at Little Neck, L. I., becoming in time one of its
wardens, and giving his thought and time quietly, but heartily, to secure its
welfare. When in later years a new parish was formed at Great Neck, he and
his family were among the warmest and most active advocates and promoters
of its welfare, and in every way he contributed largely to its growth and
present prosperity, being a church warden until his death. Bishop Littlejohn,
of the Diocese of Long Island, thus sums up his sphere of work: "The ideal
warden of his parish, for many years a member of the Missionary committee,
and of the chapter of the Cathedral of the Incarnation, a trustee of the Episco-
pal fund, and of the aged and infirm clergy fund; a manager of the church
Charity Foundation— all these in the Diocese of Long Island— a trustee of the
General Theological Seminary, one of the board of managers of the Domestic
and Foreign Missionary Society, a delegate to nine successive General Con-
ventions, a trustee of King Hall, Washington D. C, of which he was the founder
and fosterer, for the higher education of the colored race."
His sympathy and active help in other directions, among others, the wel-
fare of the blind, were felt, but so quietly and unobstrusively that their existence
were only known by the benefit conferred. At the time of his death he was a
member of the Harvard Club, of the St. Nicholas Society, of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, and
President, from 1887 to 1900 inclusive, of the New York Historical Society. Of
the last he was devoting himself to the promotion of its purposes and earnestly
seeking to secure a new building for the preservation of its valuable library
and fine collection of portraits and other treasures.
His character and relations to that Society were admirably summed up in
the address delivered before its members, at its February meeting, 1901, by his
successor as president, Rev. Eugene Hoffman, D.D., Dean of the General
Episcopal Seminery. Such was his life: in all its relation from his youth up,
he was conscientious, faithful and prudent in the performance of duties assumed
or placed upon him, courteous and affable in manners, and a sincere Christian
man. Rev. William Wilkinson, in his History of the General Convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in 1898, says of him: "He has the profound re-
spect of all the deputies from Maine to California; an upright man, of few
words, but wise in judgment, devout in life, generous in gifts, and the soul of
honor." J- G- w-
Joseph Henry Petty, a former Librarian of this Society, and a friend of
the institution for many years interested in its aims and objects, died at his
home in Amityville, L. I., on Feb. 9th, last. He was a son of Ezekiel Petty, of
"Aquebogue," L. I., and was born in New York City, Aug. 19th, 1826. Mr.
Petty was educated in a private school in New York, and after a few years
spent in the employ of a building firm of this city, became Clerk of the
Suffolk Co. Surrogate's office under Judge Bradford. He served as Assembly-
man and Senator in the Legislature of this State, and subsequently became a
captain of the Metropolitan Police Force. In 1878 Mr. Petty removed to
Amityville where he spent the remainder of his days, and occupied his time in
the work of the local Board of Education of which he was President at the
time of his death. Mr. Petty married in 1852 Caroline Van Buren, of Hacken-
sack, N. J., by whom he had four children, two of whom are now living at
Amityville, L. I.

Mexico, Feb. 6, 1901. The youngest son of Bishop Alonzo Potter, he was born
in Schenectady, N. Y., Sept. 20, 1836. From Union College, N. Y., he received
the Bachelor's degree in 1861. His theological degree was obtained from the
Berkeley Divinity School in Middletown, Conn., in 1863. His life was spent as
Associate-Rector, or Rector in several churches, and as Professor and President
in Colleges and Universities. He declined the election to the Bishopric of
Nebraska. In 1897, he accepted the Presidency of the Cosmopolitan Edu-
cational University Extension, an Institution "designed to give University
Instruction by means of correspondence courses." A widow and children
survive. He became a member of our Society in 1900, and during that year
read an interesting paper at one of its meetings. Robert Potter, his emigrant
ancestor, came to New England in 1634. Previous to 1643, ne became a member
of the church in Roxbury, Mass., but not being in harmony with their religious
views, he betook himself to Rhode Island, where he remained, refusing "to
heare the church who had lovingly sent after him." On account of his heretical
opinions, he was for a time confined in Rowley, Mass. In his adopted state he
held many positions of honor and trust, and it is recorded that he was " licensed
to keep an ordinary or tavern in Warrick " in 1655.
SOCIETY PROCEEDINGS.
The first meeting of the year was held on the evening of Friday, January
nth, and it being the annual meeting the reports of officers and committees for

QUERIES.
Lott. — On page 269, Annals of Newtown, it is stated that Antje, b. 1696,
da. of Joris Rapelje, and his wife Nelly Van Couwenhoven, m. Johannes Lott.
On page 191, Early Settlers Kings Co., Antje Rapelje is given as wife of
Johannes Pieterse Lott, his nephew. Col. Johannes Hendrickse Lott, bp. May 11,
1692, not having name of wife recorded. Johannes Pieterse was of an earlier
generation, and it is not probable that he was husband of Antje Jorise Rapelje,
whereas Col. Johannes Lott was her contemporary. In a list of his children on
page 192, Early Settlers Kings Co., and on page 323, Bergen Family, we find

descendants that Col. Johannes Lott m. Antje Jorise Rapelje. Bergen seems
to have been in doubt, for on page 234, Early Settlers Kings Co., we find:
"Antje Jorise Rapelje m. Peter Lott of New York."
Can any one throw any light on this matter ? c. T. r. m.
We learn from Charles G. Sommers' Memoir (1835) of the Rev. John
Stanford, D.D., who was Chaplain to the Humane and Criminal Institutions of
New York City, born 1754, died 1834, that Dr. Stanford left a manuscript
volume containing important facts relating to the history of New York which
he presented to the Common Council of New York. He also left several diaries
which, with the other manuscript have never been found, though Mr. Somers
searched diligently for them. If any one can give information regarding their
present whereabouts, the same will be gladly received by this Society.

BOOK NOTICES.
Descendants of Robert Green and allied Families in the State
of Virginia. By Holdridge Ozro Collins, of Los Angeles, California. 8vo,
pp. 12.
Genealogy of the Washington Family. Compiled by Holdridge
Ozro Collins. 8vo, pamphlet, pp. 15.
The first of these titles is a reprint from the Virginia Magazine of History
and Biography, July, 1900, et seq., and gives the descendants of the Robert
Green of St. Mark's Parish, Virginia, who came from England in 1712. Of his
seven sons the pamphlet under discussion gives the families of Duff, 3d son,
three generations; John, 4th, two generations; Nicholas, 5th, one generation;
and closes with a sketch of the Ballance family, a son of which married Joyce,
daughter of Nicholas Green.
The second title by Mr. Collins was published by the California Soc. Sons
of the Rev., of which he is president. It covers the same ground that Mr.
Henry F. Waters covered in his "An Examination of the English Ancestry of
George Washington," etc., 1889, but gives some added details in connection
with the allied families, the Reades, the Martians, the Warners, and the Balls.
Wakeman Genealogy, 1630-1899. By Robert P. Wakeman, Meriden,
Conn. The Journal Pub. Co., 1900. 8vo, cloth, pp. 434.
To the Wakeman family the compiler announces that his book is very far
short of what a good and complete history of the family should be. To this
and other families we announce that the perfection he grieves over is beyond
the reach of most all compilers; and we therefore have to say "This much is
well done and we thank thee for it." This volume, compiled with care and
affectionate interest, is a history of the descendants of Samuel Wakeman of
Hartford, Ct.; and of John Wakeman, Treasurer of the New Haven Colony,
with a few collaterals included. The English researches have been carried on
by means of a fund contributed by various members of the family, and by the
personal efforts of Dr. Emory McClintock of this city, a member of the family
who has been much interested in the compilation of this work. Inconsequence
there are many pages relating to the English ancestry which contain matter of
much interest derived from wills, court records and other data. Samuel
Wakeman of Hartford, was a son of Francis, of Bewdley, Worcestershire, Eng.,
according to this volume, and came to New England in Nov., 1631. Ten years
later he was killed with Capt. Pierce in the Bahamas, and left one son Esbun,
1 90 1.] Book Notices. I 2 I
and three daughters. According to Savage, this son, Esbun, died in 1683
leaving only a daughter, who married Thomas Hill, and thus the male line of
his branch ended. John Wakeman, Treasurer of New Haven Colony, was a
brother of Samuel of Hartford, and consequently a son of Francis of Bewdley,
Eng. The volume is concerned more particularly with the descendants of
John, and of his public services; and its voluminuos contents, its sensible,
serviceable binding, its good print and heavy paper, its many illustrations, as
well as the thorough indexes, commend the volume to genealogists and to
descendants of this family.
Hoge Genealogy, from the first of the name in this country to
the present time, with a number of allied families and many
historical facts. Compiled by Orlando John Hodge. Boston. Rockwell &
Churchill, 1900. 8vo, cloth, pp. 455.
Col. Hodge commenced this work in 1876, and, notwithstanding his arduous
duties as an editor and public man, has brought it to a successful conclusion,
and presented it in a form that puts both his kinsmen and the genealogical
world much in his debt. Mr. Hodge has had a long and eventful career from
the day he enlisted for service in the Mexican War to the present; one that has
taken him to many lands including Africa, Hawaii and Alaska, as well as the
continent; one that has called him to serve in the courts, in the legislative halls
of his city and his state, and in the editorial chair of a city newspaper. His
services, his experiences, the character of his labors, have all qualified him to
compile his family history accurately, methodically, and as thoroughly as any-
one else could do it. And the result is a most pleasing volume of family history
conveniently arranged, well printed, well edited, well indexed, serviceably and
tastefully bound. Its contents carry the family descent from John Hodge, of
Killingworth, and Windsor, Ct., through eight generations, and gives informa-
tion of the family regarding the name, colonial war and revolutionary service,
the families of Charles, Philo, Nicholas, George, Nehemiah, Reuben, James,
Levi and Andrew Hodge, and the Hodge families of Northern New England,
Philadelphia, Lansingburgh, Pa., North Carolina, Mississippi, New Hampshire,
Maryland and Virginia. The volume closes with accounts of unclassified
Hodges, marriages, allied families, historical incidents, and an excellent index.
Col. Hodge has completed a noble work for which we are one and all sincerely
grateful. Copies may be had of the author at Cleveland, Ohio.
Genealogical and Historical Notes on Culpeper County, Vir-
ginia. Embracing a revised and enlarged edition of Dr. Philip
Slaughter's History of St. Mark's Parish. Compiled and published by
Raleigh Travers Green, Culpeper, Va., 1900. 8vo, cloth, pp. 300. Price, $5.00.
The inception of this volume was a demand for a revised edition of Dr.
Slaughter's History of St. Mark's Parish, and it was the intention of the pub-
lisher to confine himself to that work and so produce a volume of about 150
pages. So much information was sent to him after advertised requests how-
ever, that the publisher decided to give it out to the public and hence the
volume grew to twice its original size. The families included in its pages are
as follows: Ashby, Ball, Barbour, Boaddus, Brown, Browning, Bryan-Lillard,
Carter, Cave, Clayton, Coldman, Conway, Cooke, Field, Fry, Garnett, Glassell,
Green, Grinnan, Henry-Winston, Hill, Jones, Lillard-Bryan, Madison, Mason,
Micou, Pendleton, Rice, Slaughter, Somerville, Spotswood, Strother, Taylor,
Thorn, Thomas, Thompson, Williams, Winston-Henry, and Yancey. The
volume is divided into two parts, the first containing a history of St. Mark's
Parish, Culpeper Co., Va., with notes of old churches and families, and illustra-
tions of the manners and customs of the olden time by Rev. Philip Slaughter,
D.D., Rector of Emmanuel Church, Culpeper Co., Va. Part one also contains
portrait and sketch of Dr. Slaughter. The second part contains a history of
Culpeper County with much genealogical matter alphabetically arranged, and
the marriage record from 1781-1825. Copies may be had of the publishers,
who have also issued a volume on the Battle of Culpeper, by Maj. Dan'l A.
Grimsley of the 6th Va. Cav., and are about to issue " Soldiers of the Revolution "
in pamphlet form.
122 Book Notices. [April,
Harleian Society Publications.
The fourth volume of "Musgrave's Obituary" (L — Pa), edited by Sir
George J. Armytage, Bart., F.S.A., is now being issued to the Members of the
Harleian Society. The fifth volume of this exhaustive work is in the press, and
the sixth and final volume in the transcriber's hands. The Society is also
issuing to the Members of the Register Section, Vol. I., of "The Register of
Bath Abbey," containing the Christenings and Marriages recorded there from
1569 to 1800, edited by Arthur J. Jewers. The second volume which is in the
press will give the Burials for the same period, with an index to the whole.
The twenty-fourth volume of " Arch^eologia Cantiana," being the Trans-
actions of the Kent Archaeological Society, just sent to the Members, has been
edited by the Rev. Canon C. F. Routledge, M.A., F.S.A. It contains the second
and concluding part of the valuable monograph by Mr. W. H. St. John Hope,
M.A., on "The Architectural History of the Cathedral Church and Monastery
of St. Andrew at Rochester," illustrated with several large plans, beautifully
drawn and colored. Other learned papers are contributed by Mr. George
Payne, F.L.S., F.S.A., the Rev. G. M. Livett) Lord Northbourne, the late Mr.
George Dowker, F.G.S., Mr. A. A. Arnold, F.S.A., etc. The volume is well
illustrated, and a copious index is given.
Memorial of St. Mark's Church in the Bowery. Published by the
Vestry, New York. Thos. Whittaker, 2 & 3 Bible House. 1899. 8 vo, cloth.
St. Mark's Church stands upon ground which is the oldest church site on
Manhattan Island. The corner-stone of the present edifice, which has since
been altered and ornamented, was laid on St. Mark's Day, Saturday, April 25th,
1795, Bishop Provoost officiating. The ground previous to that time had been
occupied by a chapel built prior to 1660 by Gov. Stuyvesant. This volume,
containing a history of the church, was published on the occasion of the one
hundredth anniversary of the dedication, and gives an account of the com-
memorative services, sermons and addresses, biographies of the rectors, lists of
wardens and vestrymen, treasurers, clerks, pewholders, assistant ministers,
organists, sextons, memorial tablets, and other interesting data concerning this
historic edifice. The book is beautifully illustrated with views of the church
and portraits of its rectors, and may be had of the publisher.
A Sketch of the Munro Clan, also of William Munro, who,
deported from Scotland, settled in Lexington, Mass., and of some
of his Posterity, together with a Letter from Sarah Munro to
Mary Mason descriptive of the Visit of President Washington to
Lexington in 1789. By James Phinney Munroe, 1900. Pub. by George H.
Ellis, 272 Congress St., Boston. 8vo, boards, pp. 80. Price, seventy-five cents.
The title of this volume sets forth its contents and we can only add that its
compiler has issued it for the benefit of those not fortunate enough to possess a
copy of his voluminous "History of the Munros" published in 1898, and now
both scarce and high priced. He informs us that this "sketch" is in no sense a
substitute for his larger work but is founded upon the latter, and "presents
clearly the main points, emphasizing those of special interest to the American

Genealogies of the Bingham Family in the United States, es-
pecially of the State of Connecticut, including notes on the Bing-
hams of Philadelphia, and of Irish Descent, with partial genealo-
gies of Allied Families. Compiled by Theo. A. Bingham (Col. U. S. Army),
Harrisburgh, Pa. Harrisburgh Pub. Co., 1898. 8vo, pp. 249. Paper, $4.50,
cloth, $5.00.
This comprehensive volume is the only one of the name of Bingham which
we know of, and from its contents we would say that probably any American of
that patronymic can find himself or some family connections. Special at-
tention has been paid to the early fathers, including their connection with the
old country, which the compiler has tried to make as accurate as possible. It

Ancestors and Descendants of Joseph Westcot Tinker 1618-
1900. Compiled by Frederick James Libbie. Printed privately. Boston, 1900.
This pamphlet of 36 pages opens with a copy of the text of the Mayflower
L-ompact and the names of the signers thereto, among which is that of Thomas
£\aJ- i1^11.1 be remembered that this Thomas, with both his wife and only
child, died during the "first sickness," and hence was not the progenitor of the
American Tinker family. The Rev. William Durant of Saratoga? N Y who is
preparing a comprehensive genealogy of the family is of the undoubted
opinion that John Tinker, who came to New England in 1636, is the common
ancestor; but may have been related to Thomas of the Mayflower. This pam-
phlet, then, gives the descendants in one line of John Tinker through ten
generations. °

t? • TulS lI lhTe £tle £? a larSe manuscript volume by Rev. Samuel Whaley, of
Riverhead, N Y The genealogy of this family has been remarkably well
preserved. Mr. John Nichols, F.S.A., in his "Antiquities of Leicester County
England, has given, in a lineage design, the successive generations of this
ramiiy down to the Commonwealth— a period of six hundred years. All Eng-
lish records make the founder of this family Wyamarus Whaley, who came
over with William the Conqueror, the Duke of Normandy. From him all the

Whaley to the days of the regicides, twelve generations are given. The family
became numerous and held high and honored positions, and in the opening of
the Civil War most of them remained loyal to the king. Edward the regicide
was the son of Richard Whaley, of the eleventh generation, in the pedigree of
the family, who is spoken of as a man of "munificence and energy." Two of
the sons settled in New York and vicinity, and one in Fairfield, Conn ■ the

1 24 Book Notices. [April,
It was not the intention of the compiler of this book to produce a complete
family history, and he frankly states that such would be a more serious labor
than he would care to confront. He has purposed instead "to discover the
origin of the family; to trace it from that origin down to its establishment in
the New World; to indicate the lineage which sprang from the ancestral emi-
gration; and to push one lineage down to the middle of the nineteenth century."
Libraries, public documents, civic records and church registers in England,
Holland and France have been examined by the compiler, and a list presented
in his preface. Regarding the American citations these appear in the text or
in foot notes. The contents consist of chapters as follows: Origin of the name;
Avesnes and its early de Forests, descendants of Melchoir de Forest, 2d, Jean
and Jesse; The Walloon Emigration of 1623-4: Sequal of the Walloon Colony;
The Stratford, Conn., de Forests: David C. de Forest; Children of Benjamin 2d.
An appendix of six parts gives records, registers and family data, historic
papers and genealogical notations concerning various de Forest families.

"Lady Hancock," a story of the American Revolution. By Mary
Elizabeth Springer. Isaac H. Blanchard Co., Pub., New York, 1900. i2mo,
pp. 267.
Miss Springer, the author of this book, is the recording secretary of the
New York City Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, and her long
connection with that organization, her active interest in its patriotic and his-
torical work, qualify her to produce a book of this kind. As the title proclaims
it is a story 01 the American Revolution in which the events of that stirring
contest are not merely referred to, but related in detail, in simple, direct, nar-
rative style. The romance of the story centers in Dorothy Quincy, who became
the wife of John Hancock, President of the Continental Congress, and a leading
spirit of the Revolutionary party. Copies of this book may be had of the
author, No. 148 West 64th St., N. Y. City.
X Lewis Allen, of Watertown Farms (Weston), Mass., 1665, and his
Descendants. By Allen H. Bent of Boston. David Clapp & Son, Boston,
1900. 8vo, pamphlet, pp. 33.
"Lewis Allen of Watertown Farms (Weston), Mass.," says this pamphlet,
"seems to have been neglected by most of the early genealogical writers, ex-
cept Bond, who unfortunately confuses some of his descendants with those of
Walter Allen. The two families located in the same precinct at about the same
time, but do not appear to have been related." It is the purpose of this pam-
phlet to straighten out this confusion, and the descendants are given for seven
generations, of which the first three are reprinted from the New Eng. Register
for October, 1900.

called Ouestenburg, Quessenberry, etc.; and whence Thomas Questenbury
came to~Virginia about 1625, and was the origin of tt^Amencan family of that
name variously spelled. The German and English records upon which this
work is based are printed in an appendix. The book is nicely illustrated, and

60 illustrations. With part 10 will appear title page, table of contents and
index, also, a special set of pages for the inscription of the purchaser's family
record. The compiler's ability to publish the remainder of the book depending
entirely upon the.satet)f the first part, he earnestly appeals to every person of
the name to subscribe. Aside from the value of the book as a record of people,
bearing the patronymic it is both valuable and interesting as a history of a
famous family.

Volume two of these papers is an account of the United Empire Loyalist
Settlement at Long Point, Lake Erie, by L. H. Tasker of the Collegiate Insti-
tute, Niagara Falls, N. Y. These supporters on the wrong side of the American
Revolution, exposed to insult, publicly ostracised, their lives in danger and
property confiscated, stood for the unity of the empire until compelled to seek
refuge on British soil, and as the author of this work truly says, their story,

though ever told, is ever new. Mr. Tasker has presented their side of the case
with a masterly hand, and after a perusal of this work the truly broad must
concede that all men, right or wrong, are entitled to the courage of their con-
victions, and that the participants on both sides of an international war have
an equal right to exclaim "dulce et decorum est pro patria mori."

The Cradle of the Republic; Jamestown and James River. By
Lyon Gardiner Tyler, Pres. of Wm. & Mary's College, Richmond, Va. Whittet
& Shepperson, 1900. 8vo, cloth, pp. 187.
We of the nineteenth century look back to the time when that ill-assorted
collection of men came in their three ships and planted the first colony on
American soil as though it were a far-off period ; and yet it was but as yesterday
when "the old world first met the new." With thoughts filled with the glowing
accounts of the land of paradise where gold mines were abundant, and the
natives a peaceful, friendly set, waiting to welcome the white man with open
arms, what must have been their disappointment to find a land of virgin forest
and hostile inhabitants, and work, work, work of the roughest sort! Then came
starvation, sickness, Indian attacks, and internal dissention; a period of partial
prosperity, and then the "Starving Time" that reduced the Colony to forty
souls. Fiske refers to this period as one of cannibalism, and gives instances of
men killing their wives and devouring them. This statement has gone un-
challenged, and we had hoped to find something bearing upon the subject in
Dr. Tyler's book, but all reference to it is omitted. But what the author does
give is page after page of historic detail, told in a narrative style of most
interesting tenor, and accounts of the settlement of nearby places, with the
names and doings of the settlers. These, with the reproductions of maps and
drawings of the period, as well as extracts from the writings of persons con-
temporaneous with the early history of Jamestown, make up a scholarly volume
upon a subject of vast interest to the student of history, of whatsoever nationality
he may be. It was truly the cradle of the republic; and ere the sturdy band
of determined Pilgrims had pressed their feet upon Plymouth Rock, Jamestown
had begun, had starved and begun again, had fought, and bled, and watched,
and worked — and firmly planted itself forever.
Historical Sketches and Reminiscences of an Octogenarian.
By Thomas L. Preston. Pub. for the author by B. F. Johnson Pub. Co., Rich-
mond, Va., 1900. 8vo, cloth, pp. 170.
Mr. Preston in these Reminiscences has risen to the occasion and discharged
a duty to the historical world. None knew better than he how important it is
that the statements of "oldest inhabitants" are of value always and should be
recorded; none regreted more than he that historians of Virginia have, for the
most part, confined themselves to the eastern part of the State, while the
records and traditions of the territory beyond the Alleghany Mountains have
been forgotten, and neglected lie. So it is, with memory refreshed by exami-
nation of records, with energy spurred by a sense of obligation to friends and
antiquarians, the author of this entertaining book has set down the facts relating
to events of historic interest that have occurred within his lifetime. The book
is full of anectodes and historical sketches and one reads it with both pleasure
and profit.

THE PUBLIC CAREER OF ROBERT LIVINGSTON.
By Walter L. Fleming.
Robert Livingston was born December 13, 1654, at Ancram,
Scotland. His father, a Presbyterian clergyman, was one of the
commissioners from Scotland to Charles II., when in exile at
Breda. After the restoration his opposition to the Episcopacy-
made him obnoxious to the court party, and he went to Rotter-
dam where he became the pastor of an English Presbyterian
Church*
In Holland Robert acquired a knowledge of the Dutch people
and their language, which was of great service to him in New
York. In 1674 he left Rotterdam and came to Albany, where he
became, as Governor Fletcher afterwards said, "a little book-
keeper."
The next year Governor Andros instituted a general court of
the County of Albany. Livingston was made clerk of this court,
and secretary to the Board of Commissioners for Indian Affairs,
which was created at the same time.f At first the latter position
carried no salary with it, but in 1696, King William fixed the
salary at jQ 100 for life. When Albany was incorporated in 1686,
by Governor Dongan, Livingston was made Town Clerk, Clerk of
the Peace, and Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas. Dongan
also appointed him Collector and Receiver of Quitrents and
Excises at Albany, with a promise of a shilling in the pound on

offices might afford him a competent maintenence," the governor
said.J Peter Schuyler and Livingston had secured the charter
for Albany from Dongan, and the magistrates voted thanks to
them for their services. A gift of ^500 was made to Dongan in
return for the charter. A few years later we find that in con-
sideration of the various duties performed by Livingston as
clerk, the Council of Albany advanced his salary for that office
from fifteen to twenty pounds a year.§ From the collector's
office he received fifty pounds a year.||

130 The Public Career of Robert Livingston. [July,
ingston became connected with one of the most prominent and
influential Dutch families of the province. Not long after his
marriage he claimed a share of the Van Renssalaer estate on the
ground that his wife was heir to the shadowy claim of Nicholas
Van Renssalaer. He lost his case, but the heirs made him an
allowance of money. Once the Dutch Church of Albany was in
need of money, and Livingston had such good success in collecting
for it, that he was rewarded with the choice of seats in the church,
"to belong to him and his successors forever."*
His income from his various official positions was carefully
invested, and he soon became one of the wealthiest men of the
colony. He was the only man in the province who could under-
take a government contract and wait for his pay until the taxes
were collected. For this reason, nearly all such contracts fell
into his hands, and on all of them he made money. While he
waited for his pay, and for some of it he waited twenty-five years,
the interest was accumulating, so that sometimes his bills, when
paid, would be double the original amount.f In the long run he
never failed to collect a debt due him.
His connection with the Indian Commissioners afforded him
many advantages in the way of private trade with the Indians
and the French. His official business made him acquainted with
the location of the best tracts of unoccupied lands. Ambitious
to be the owner of a vast estate, he quietly extinguished the
Indian titles to these lands, and then secured patents for them
from the governor. For one large tract of land he paid: "300
Guilders in Zewant, Eight Blankets and two Childs' Blankets,
Five and twenty ells of Duffels and four garments of Strouds,
ten large shirts and ten small ditto, ten pairs of large Stockings
and ten pairs of Small, Six Guns, fifty pounds of powder, Fifty
staves of Lead, four caps, Ten Kettles, Ten Adzes, Ten axes,
Two pounds of paint, Twenty little scissors, Twenty little Looking
glasses, one hundred fishhooks, Awls and Nails of each one hun-
dred, four rolls of Tobacco, one hundred Pipes, ten Bottles, Three
Kegs of Rum, one Barrill of Strong Beer, and Twenty Knives,
Four Stroud Coats, and Two Duffels Coats, and four Tin Kettles."];
At another time, "A certain Crippled Indian Woman . . ac-
knowledges to have received full satisfaction by a cloth garment
and a cotton shift for her share and claim to a certain Flatt of
Land situate in the Manor of Livingston. "§ In this manner the
Indian titles were secured to a tract of land east of the Hudson,
extending sixteen miles along the river and twenty-four miles
inland. A surveyor's map of 17 15 gives the number of acres at
160,240.11 The popular estimate was 250,000 acres. In 1686, Dongan
granted Livingston a patent for this territory.^ It was erected
into a Manor with the privilege of holding a Court Baron and a
Court Leet, and the advowson of all the churches within the
Manor. The quit-rent for this immense domain was twenty-eight
shillings a year.

190 1 .] The Public Career of Robert Livingston. I 3 I
Near the close of Dongan's administration, Livingston made
large advances of money to pay and subsist the troops, for gifts
to the Indians, and for the needs of French prisoners. It was
more than twenty years before he collected this loan. Hence-
forth until the end of his life, whether in office or out of office, in
England or in America, he occupied his time in urging his old
claims and in making new ones, in seeking special privileges and
salaries for himself or family — all the time becoming more and
more a leading man in colony affairs. He was almost the only
man to whom the governors could turn when the government
was in financial straits, and always receive assistance. His
services in this way to the government were very valuable.
Livingston's interests were for the most part those of the
aristocratic party, composed of the wealthy men and great landed
proprietors of the province. But at short notice he could change
to the opposite side. " He could turn his coat easier than any
man living; this became an inherited trait, cropping out among
his posterity."* His fortune had been made through the friend-
ship of Andros and Dongan, both of whom were devoted to the
Stuarts, and when the news of the Revolution reached Albany, it
was unwelcome to Livingston. He feared the results of a change
of rulers and, as his fathers before him had been, was a supporter
of the Stuarts. He publicly expressed his ill opinion of the
attempt of William of Orange to dethrone James II., though
afterwards he in a letter to the Secretary of State said: "The
news of their Majesties accession was refreshing as a reprieve to
the condemned,"! and he further says he proclaimed them him-
self. He had, he explained, opposed the usurpation of Leisler,
not the government of William and Mary.
When the news of the Revolution came to New York, Jacob
Leisler, a captain of one of the militia companies of the city
and a leader of the popular party, took possession of the fort with
his company, and declared his intention to hold it for William
and Mary. So far very well, but his head was turned by events
which soon followed. A communication from the government
of William and Mary addressed to Lieutenant-Governor Francis
Nicholson, or in his absence to "whomsoever might be acting in
his place," fell into Leisler's hands and was sufficient authority for
him to constitute himself lieutenant-governor and commander-
in-chief. The aristocratic party of Albany had no desire to
submit to the self-assumed authority of this popular leader, so
the officers of Albany met in convention, and controlled by Robert
Livingston, who was secretary of the convention, resolved that
until William and Mary were heard from all public business
should be managed by the mayor, aldermen, and justices-of-the-
peace.J
The New York frontiers were at the mercy of the Indians and
French, who had begun war after the accession of William, so the
convention sent Livingston as a delegate to "Canetticut and

Prevent all succor comeing from france and to Request ye assist-
ance of fifty men and one hundred Barrells of Porke and Beefe,
and if no men can be obtained then ^400 in money."* Living-
ston "desyred to be excused from goeing to N. England, not
judgeing himself cappable of mannageing a Bussinesse of yl
moment."f However, he was prevailed upon to go, and set out
just about the time the reports of his utterances regarding the
Revolution reached the ears of Leisler. Fearing that any assist-
ance that might be obtained would be used against him, and
suspecting that Livingston would endeavor to break down his
influence in New England,! Leisler sent officers with warrants to
arrest Livingston. One of the warrants read:
"Whereas, one Robert Livingston by the Instigacon of the
Devill did utter ye malice of his heart in Saying that he was
Enformed that a parcell of rebells were gone out of holland to
England and that ye prince of Orange headed them Saying that
they might see how they got out of againe or words to this pur-
pose and that they should come to ye same End that monmouth
did and hath comitted other high crimes,
These are in his Maties name to will and require all persons .
. . to apprehend . . . said Livingston and bring him before
me . . . Jacob Leisler."J
There is no doubt but that Livingston made use of the ex-
pressions charged against him. Leisler's officers secured a num-
ber of sworn statements from persons who had heard him,§ but
it was a slight basis for a charge of treason. No one but Leisler
in his strange new dignity would have noticed such a matter.
Livingston's house was searched for treasonable documents,
but none were found. But a priest's regalia and a number of
Indian catechisms which had been captured and deposited with
him were found, and served as ground for renewed accusations.
He was outlawed and his property sequestrated to the crown. ||
Governor Treat of Connecticut, informed Leisler that Livingston
would be arrested and tried in Connecticut courts if some one
would appear and make security for the successful prosecution of
the case, or for the payment of damages if Livingston should be
acquitted.^ This was not done and he was never molested.
Livingston drew up strong addresses to the legislatures of
Connecticut and Massachusetts, asking assistance for the defense
of Albany and the New York frontier. At the same time he set
to work to detach the colonies from the interests of Leisler, and
succeeded. A plan for the invasion of Canada by way of the
Hudson River and Lake Champlain was drawn up by him,
and laid before the governments of Connecticut and Massa-
chusetts.** The capture of Quebec, it was urged, would be "the
downfall of Anti-Christ," and "the plunder ten times pay the

charge of the expedition." But Massachusetts was fitting out an
expedition of her own against Port Royal where plunder was
nearer, and nothing could then be done for New York. From
Connecticut, however, was obtained a small force— 135 whites,
and 80 Indians. Later, largely through the efforts of Livingston,
an agreement was reached between Massachusetts, Connecticut
and New York, to invade Canada via Lake Champlain. When
Winthrop of Connecticut, who had been appointed to the chief
command, went to Albany where the forces were to be collected,
he took Livingston along under his protection. He made Living-
ston's house his headquarters, guarded him and refused to allow
him to be arrested, to the great disgust and anger of Leisler.*
After the army marched Livingston disappeared and was not
seen again until the downfall of Leisler. The failure of the
attempt against Canada was attributed by Leisler to Livingston's
influence with the New England officers. He believed Livingston
to be in secret sympathy with the French, who were supporting
the cause of James II.
Upon the arrival of Governor Sloughter, Leisler and Milborne^
his son-in-law, were thrown into prison, and after trial were-
condemned to death. Livingston, who had been one of Leisler's.
bitterest opponents, was present at the execution. Milborne
caught sight of him in the crowd and addressed him in these
words: "You have caused the King that I die, but before God's
tribunal I will implead you for the same."f
Sloughter died before Livingston got his affairs into shape,,
but Fletcher, the next governor, restored his offices (1695), and
made him judge-advocate of a court martial at Albany which
had the management of military affairs on the frontier. Fletcher,
however, refused to pay his salary as Secretary of Indian Affairs;
he disliked Livingston, and neglected his claims, whereupon he
went to England to urge his case in person before the Lords of
the Treasury and the Board of Trade. The ship in which he took
passage lost her rudder in a storm, and they were five months at
sea. For seventeen weeks each person had only a little cocoanut
and a pint of water a day; at last they were driven upon the
coast of Portugal. Livingston travelled through Portugal and
Spain, and finally reached England. J
Before the Board of Trade, he charged Fletcher with mis-
appropriation of public funds, which should have been used to
repay the advances made for pay and subsistance of the troops.
He also alleged fraud and undue influence in elections on the part
of the governor. The latter charge was supported by the testi-
mony of William Kidd.§
Livingston made many friends at court who were of great
assistance to him afterwards. All of his claims were granted, his
salary as Secretary was raised and fixed at jQ\oq a year for
life, and he was confirmed for life in his offices of collector, town

clerk, clerk of the peace, and clerk of the Court of Common Pleas.*
Some of his bills were paid in England, and he returned to New-
York with a royal order for the payment of the remainder from
the treasury of the province. The governor and council refused
to recognize his credentials and orders on the treasury, stating
that he had obtained the approval of his claims by false repre-
sentations to the authorities in England.f The charges made
against Fletcher had been referred by the Board of Trade to the
council of New York, and this body, on which were two of
Livingston's brothers-in-law, was devoted to Fletcher. They
opposed all of Livingston's petitions. He was an alien, they said,
and therefore could not hold office. This referred to his nation-
ality, Scotch. In their estimation, he was already sufficiently
rewarded by fees, " by which he has raised himself from nothing
to be one of the richest men of the province." Moreover, they
went on to say, there was not, and had never been, such an office
as Secretary of Indian Affairs; all dealings with the Indians
having been carried on by the governor in person, and, besides,
Livingston was not capable of performing any services of value
in Indian affairs. All he had ever done was to translate from
Dutch into English. The council (Peter Schuyler not voting)
recommended that he be suspended from this office of Secretary
of Indian Affairs, and that of Collector of Royal Revenues until
his majesty's pleasure could be known.J The growing influence
of Livingston was beginning to create envy and jealousy among
the less fortunate. Perhaps Peter Schuyler felt just a little that
his brother-in-law was rising too fast.
Concerning this matter, Governor Fletcher wrote to England:
"This man by false insinuations to the Lords of Trade of his
sufferings has prevailed upon their Lordps for these salaries
when all know he has made a considerable fortune by his employ-
ments in the Government, never disbursing six pence but with
the expectation of twelve pence, his beginning being but a little
Book keeper he has screwed himself into one of the most con-
siderable estates in the province. [I] Do hope you'll endevor to
keep a man of such vile principles from sucking any more the
blood of this province, for he hath been a spunge to it. . . .
he is known to all men here to have neither religion nor morality,
but his whole thirst being at any rate and by any ways to enrich
himself and has said (I am informed) he had rather be called
knave Livingston than poor Livingston. "§
In a letter to the Board of Trade, Livingston made an able
reply to the charges made against him by Fletcher and the
council. He was not an alien, he said, having been born subse-
quent to the Union of Scotland and England under James I. All
persons born in Scotland after the Union were British citizens. \
The importance of the office of Secretary of Indian Affairs was
shown. Not only did the secretary have to translate from Dutch
into English what the interpreter rendered into Dutch, but correct

records of 'all transactions with the Indians had to be kept, and
copies sent to the governor. Forty or fifty times a year he was
obliged to be present at conferences with the Indians, whenever
the governor or the commissioners met representatives of the
Indians. He had been sent several times on missions to the
Indian tribes, and had rendered valuable services in making
treaties with them.* He was largely responsible for the fact
that the Five Nations acknowledged the sovereignty of England
on their territory.
His charges and the efforts of his friends in London, prevented
the reappointment of Fletcher, and Lord Bellomont came over as
governor. Livingston had formed an acquaintance with him in
England, and learning that Bellomont would probably be the next
governor of New York, he took pains to ascertain his views on
the government of the colony. He had learned among other
things, that Bellomont would espouse the cause of the Leislerian
or popular party, which, owing to the misgovernment of Fletcher,
was growing more powerful. Now he found it necessary to
experience a change of belief in politics. Bellomont was directed
by his instructions from the Lords of Trade to examine Living-
ston's claims,f which he did and pronounced them correct; but
neglected to make a recommendation to the Board of Trade. His
offices were restored, and he was made a member of the council. \
Bellomont relied upon his judgment, especially in matters relat-
ing to the Indians. The council formerly hostile to Livingston,
acknowledged to the governor that he was the most suitable man
in the colony for the offices to which he had been appointed, and
for undertaking the subsistence of the soldiers. § The governor
in his reports to the English authorities, often mentioned the
valuable services Livingston had rendered to the King by paying
and subsisting the troops when no one else would do so. ||
He was always ready to support the government with his
money, when all others were cautious about making loans which
were apt to run a long time, and possibly never be repaid. The
governor called Livingston the best man in the province.^

THE FAMILY OF DUPUIS. DE PUY, DEPEW, ETC.
By Frank J. Conkling, Brooklyn, N. Y.
(Continued from Vol. XXXII., p. 80, of The Record.)
* Though proof is not positive, the writer by careful research
and study, brings the line of descent from Francois Dupuis much
nearer to the door-steps of Senator Depew than does any possible
line leading from Nicholas.
The earliest positive recordf of Francois places him as one of
the twenty-three first inhabitants of "Boswyck," modernly pro-
nounced Bush wick, and now a component part of Brooklyn.
This record was a petition of March 14, 166 1, asking for the usual
privileges of a newly incorporated village. Francois was then
unmarried, but no doubt was arranging for a home in which to
take his prospective bride during the coming autumn. Another
record, \ year 1663, enrolls him with a Boswyck company of militia,
having Ryck Lydecker as its captain. This company was evi-
dently organized for home protection against Indian depredations.
How long Francois remained at Bushwick is uncertain. William
is his only child known to have been born there. Probably
others were, but baptismal records of the first ten years of his
marriage are not extant. Perhaps he resided in New York for a
time, but there is no evidence to substantiate such a claim, unless
we accept the baptismal records of the New York Reformed
Dutch Church, years 1671 to 1677, during which time three of his
children were there baptised. In the latter year (1677) Bergen
says§ he and his wife became members of the Dutch Church at
Flatbush. Certain it is that their next two children were baptised
there in 1679 and 1681 respectively.! Yet all this does not prove
that the family up to this time had changed their residence.
Though it does seem singular that the Assessors of Bushwick,
and other Dutch towns of Long Island, in making up their tax
lists for 1675 and l676^ should on both occasions skip Francois if
he were a resident among them, and as he was not even down for
poll tax it is fair to presume that he was absent, perhaps on
Staten Island, where we find him at a later period. In this case,
he had his reasons for returning to Long Island, probably in 1677,
and then going back to take up his grant of eighty odd acres,

bearing date December 21, 1680,* which was laid out for him on
the south side of the Fresh Kill. Another Staten Island grant
was made him April 4, 1685,! but this time at Smoking- Point. In
April, 1682, he and Robert Wright, as residents of Staten Island,
appealed from a decision in a land suit, which was yet unsettled
in September, 1685. The records}; in these cases are of "Francis
Pew," as the English scribes would have it; but Riker in his
"History of Harlem," and Clute, in his "Annals," are good
authority as to his identity. Except that Clute places him as a
son of Nicholas, with nothing to back his theory but a flimsy
guess. In 1686 Francois had his son Nicholas baptised in New
York. The next year he turns up as a resident of Rockland
County (then a part of Orange), where on September 26th, he
signed an oath of allegiance§ with the other inhabitants of
recently established settlements at Haverstraw and Orangetown.
While three of his children married and settled in Rockland
County, Francois appears to have crossed the river, previous to
the census of Orange in 1702, and sat down in Westchester
County, where others of his children had married and settled.
After 1687 we do not find his name except on church records.
His youngest child, Mary, was baptised in New York in 1689. If
the record is correct he had married again ; Geertje Willems having
been superseded by Annie Elsten, the mother of Mary. We next
find Francois with his daughter Maria, standing as sponsors or
God-parents at the baptism of his grand-daughter Grietje Quorry,
in the Sleepy-Hollow Church, April 1, 1702. This church a few
years later recorded the same two as members, having residence
on the patent of Captain DeKay and Ryck Abrahamsen (Lent.)
A grandson of the latter having previously married the said
Maria. ||
The archives do not unfold further information of Francois,
who has become the most important factor of this paper. He
probably followed the pursuit of farming, enjoying a quiet un-
assuming life, rather than the prominence of political or other
history making activities. His children married into good
families, but they too successfully avoided the record maker and
burned their historical bridges to the disparagement of the one
who may wish to become the family historian. It is only through
the Records of the Reformed Dutch Churches of New York,
Tappan,!" Tarrytown,** and Cortlandt,ff that any of the lines of
Francois can be traced, and as much is lacking, it is the scraps
put together, using the peculiar judgment of a genealogical
student, that enables the following arrangement:
1. Willem, probably the eldest son of Francois Dupuis, was
among the pioneers of the locality made famous as the birthplace
of our illustrious Senator. He was there when settlement had
hardly begun, a young man yet in single blessedness, and had

adjoining the Manor of Cortlandt, wherein many of this branch of the Depew family became
permanent fixtures.

struck camp, it would seem, on the point of land called by the
Indians Meanagh* or Mernach, and afterwards named Verplancks
Point. A tract of land including this point was purchased of the
Indians by Stephanus Van Cortlandt in 1685. Additional pur-
chases and a Royal charter in 1697 created the Manor of Cort-
landt.f This with the Manor of Philipsburg adjoining on the
south, and other large royal grants and charters established a
landed gentry along the Hudson River, particularly on the east
side, from New York to north of Albany. Thus a large majority
of the settlers through this territory became tenants or lessees,
and continued as such, followed by their descendants, for more
than one hundred years. In this way many good families were
held in check from participating in the progress of our Nation's
history, and their talents buried to take root in later generations,
where more fertile conditions, and opportunities well applied,
have since brought forth some of our country's best and wisest
men.
William was at Mernach as early as 1688. He had probably
strayed over from Haverstraw, where his father had located a
year or so before, and where his brother John continued to live
for some years afterward. We can see him industriously toiling
with logs and bark to make a home for his promised bride, a
maiden no doubt of English parentage, born on the Island of Bar-
badoes. The record calls her "Lysbeth Weyt." In English we
would say Elizabeth White. She was living a little further down
the river at a place named by the Indians "Kightwanck," \ and
situated near the mouth of the Croton River, which stream
formerly bore the same Indian name as was given the locality.
Thus we interpret the record of his bans, as posted on the
register of the Dutch Church of New York, then the nearest one
to their home, which church also issued a certificate permitting
William to marry at the home of the bride. This is the first
record of William, and as it tells pretty near his whole history up
to this time, proving by his birth-place his connection with the
family of Francois, it is here reproduced as follows: " 10th Au-
gust, 1688." "Willem Depuy, j. m. Van Boswyck, en Lysbeth
Weyt, j. d. van de Barbados, d' Eerste wonende op Mernach, en
twede tot Kichtewang." "Vertoog verleent, om te trouwen tot
Kichtewang."
The marriage was probably executed in the most primitive
style at Kichtewang during the following month, and if not the
first wedding in the Manor of Cortlandt, it was the forerunner of
an event that has made Peekskill renowned as the home of a
great and popular orator. The index finger of family lineage
points in this direction so strongly, that the writer has concluded
before following it down further, to first dispose of the rest of the
family of Prancois.

or marriage, but Kellem MaKorry, Quorry or Quori, but possibly

1 44 The Family of Dupuis, De Puy, Depew, Etc. [July,
Cory, and Jannetje De Pu, de Py, etc., had four children bap-
tised in New York and Tarrytown as follows: Maria, 1695; Johan-
nes, 1697; Grietje, 1702, and Elsie, 1704. At the baptism of
Johannes, the sponsors were: "Jan Waerdt and Grietje his Wife;"
the latter being a sister of Jannetje, the mother. Grietje, the
third child, was sponsored by her grandfather, "Francois D'Puw"
and Maria, his daughter. Lack of records do not indicate that
these four were her only children.
3. Grietje (Margaret), baptised October 1, 1671, in New York.
She was the wife of Jan Ward of Haverstraw, when they joined
the Dutch Church at Tappan, October 24, 1694* There they
had baptised the following children: Grietje, year 1700; Maria,
1702, and Willem, 1704. The census of Orange County taken in
1702,1 credits John Waard and Grietje, his wife, with three girls.
After 1704 they disappear.
4. Jean (John), baptised in New York May 20, 1674. The
sponsors at his baptism were members of two prominent New
York families, viz.: "Mr. Hans Kierstede and Margariet Harden-
broeck." John went with his father to Haverstraw, where, on
April 16, 1701, the records of the Tappan Church says he married
Jannetje Wiltse, widow of Myndert Hendrickse (Hogencamp).
She was the mother of a family of children baptised in New York
as follows: Hendrick, 1682; Jan, 1685; Margrietje, 1687; Marten,
1690; Anna, 1693, and Myndert. A younger child, Barbara, was
baptised in 1700 at Tappan, who later became the wife of Edmond
Concklin. The census of 1702 credits "John D'Puy " as of Haver-
straw, with wife "Janneken," and six children under sixteen
years of age, evenly divided as between boys and girls. These
children were clearly Hogencamps; but before the year closed
John added one to the family, and probably the only child he
y. could call his own. He named her Geertje in remembrance of his
^ V\a-* mother. She was baptised at Tappan, October 14, 1702, and on
Jo^A" January 1, 1720, married John Concklin, brother of Edmond, who
^0 **aS0v- had married about the same time her half sister. John and Ed-
ce%-fcDV' j^ mond were sons of Nicholas Concklin of Kakiat, Rockland County,
^-upc.^ who had but recently moved from Eastchester, Westchester
C^ County, where he had lived for many years.
Jannetje Wiltse was baptised at Kingston,}; New York, Jan-
uary 7, 1663, the daughter of Hendrick Martensen Wiltse, who
afterward became a resident of Newtown,§ Long Island.
In the census of Orange County, year 1712,1 "John Pew" and
wife of Haverstraw, had but two children living at home, a boy
and a girl, both under sixteen. John was a surveyor of land,l
and established many land-marks and lines locally in Rockland
County. In 1722 he acquired a tract of Orange County land,**
some 1250 acres of the "Evans Patent." With this transaction
we lose sight of him.

when married. Her great-grandfather was known as Deacon

When young, he was a sea-faring man, and at times followed
fishing along the coast. In 1774-5, he went on a whaling expe-

Liverpool, hearing that Britain was making trouble for the
Colonies, he with his Quaker principles thought best not to return
to his native State, but remained and soon after settled at Liver-
pool, N. S., and never returned. He was a man of strict integrity,
and although never accumulating an excess of wealth, he brought
his family of thirteen children up in a commendable manner.
His obituary notice, published in the Liverpool paper, quoted
these words: "A poor, but honest man. The noblest work of
God."

HAWXHURST FAMILY.
By Robert B. Miller.
Hawxhurst is from the word " Hurst," a wood, or Hawkwood.
It is beyond doubt good Saxon.
John Hawkherst was appointed Abbott of St. Augustine, in
Canterbury, January 25, 1427, and it is possible that the town of
Hawkhurst in Kent, early gave rise to the family name.
Bridge's History of Northants, Vol. I., p. 276: "Sampson
Hawkherst, Vicar of Towcester, 1569-99.
Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica, Vol. IV., p. 377, and Vol.
V., p. 4; The Register Book of Marey, County of Northant (North-
ampton):
I901-! H aw xhurst Family. \1\
"Xpo (Christopher) Hawxsworth, married October 1=;, icco
Elizabeth . They had:
William, baptized October 15, 155 1."
History of Shrewsbury, H. Owen, p. 153, Ministers of St. Chads:
"Christopher Hawksworth, Died of Plague, Aug., 1576. He suc-
ceeded John Marshall, ejected on the accession of Queen Elizabeth
in 1558 for refusing burial in his church to Mr. Burton of Long-
nor. The living of St. Chads, strictly speaking, was a 'Curacy'
though it has for near a century been styled a Vicarage."
History of Shrewsbury, Shropshire (Salop), by Owen & Blake-
way, Vol. II., p. 212; Incumbents of St. Chads: "Christopher
Hawkshurst was probably appointed on the accession of Elizabeth.
He died of plague, August, 1576."
"Our M. S. Chronicle recording that event calls him Hawcks-
woorthe but his true name appears in two items of our bailliffs
accounts, which evince the regard paid to his memory 14 years
after his decease. 1589, paid and yevan (Sic,) to Mr. Sampson
Hawkshurst toward his preferment in learning in respect to his
father's pains and travell in our town, 5 pounds."
"Apr. 28, 1590— Received of the Bailiffs 5 pounds for the use
of Sams Hauxhurst, late son of Mr. Christopher Hauxhurst, late
preacher of God's word in Salop, for his better maintenance and
studi in Oxford."
No Curate appears for seven years until in 1583, when Thomas
Price was appointed.
Foster's Alumni Oxonienses: "Samson Hawkhurst (Haux-
hurste) of Salop— Clerici Alius, Balliol Coll., (Oxford) Matriculated
6 Nov., 1590, aged 19. B. A. June 25, 1593: B. D. from Magdalen
Hall, July 9, 1607— Canon Lichfield. 1607-27. Vicar of Nuneaton,
Co. Warwick, 1626-27. William Haukshurst, of Co. Warwick,
Clerici films, Magdalen Hall, matriculated Nov. 6, 16 18, aged 18."
The following entries occur in the "institution" books, Series
A, Vol. IV., p. 143, under Warwickshire:
Nuneaton, Rex 29, May, 1626, Sampson Hauxhurst.
" 3 Sept., 1627, Will Craddocke.
The "composition" books for 1626, show that Sampson Haux-
hurst made a composition for his first fruits, his sureties being:
"Richard Overton, girdler, of the Parish of St. Peter, Cheap-
side, London, and Richard Baddely of Eccles Hall staff."
The Bishop's certificates of Institutions do not state the cause
of the vacancy of the "living" in 1627; but in Dugdale's Warwick-
shire, p. 1068, there is a list of the Vicars of Nuneaton with the
letters V. P. M., ie., Vacant per mortem, occur after Hawxhurst's
name.

Oct. 20, 1643, names him as one of the commission to apprehend
prisoners who had escaped from Shawomet. In 1655, at Warwick,
R. I., he was made "Freeman," and same year deputy to the
General Court of Rhode Island. He sold his dwelling house
and land at Pawtuxet, R. I., March 29, t666, to Anthony Low of

EDITORIAL.
We have been watching with much interest the quiet, steady, unosten-
tatious labor of our friend and correspondent, Mr. Ralph Lefevre, editor of the
New Paltz (N. Y.) Independent. He has been collecting data of the early
freeholders of the New Paltz Patent, which he has published for some time in
his paper, besides many historic articles of much interest and value. Of the
families already published we notice Bontecoe, Lefevre, Hasbrouck, Dubois,
Relje, Bevier, Freer, and others. Mr. Lefevre has obtained possession of some
papers which originally belonged to Hugo Freer, one of the patentees, among
which is a certified list of the freeholders in 1712. It is his intention, we
believe, to publish these valuable documents in the columns of the Independent
and we take this occassion to express our appreciation of his public spirited
generosity.

quently he had an office as lawyer at 99 Wall street. He was a member of a
number of societies and clubs. While living at Yonkers, N. Y., he was much

mon Council, 1880-1882. A daughter, Mrs. Thomas W. Talmadge, resides at

eighth in descent from Capt. Nicholas Stilwell of Gravesend, L. I., who in 1663
was lieutenant under Capt. Kregier in the second Esopus War. He was a
member of the Holland Society, the Saint Nicholas Society, and the Society of

resignation he was lieutenant of Company D of this regiment. He was also a
member of the Old Guard. He was elected to this Society April 9, 1897.

SOCIETY PROCEEDINGS.
at THE,last meeting of the season 1900-01, was held on the evening of Friday
May io, but a wild storm prevailed, and the meeting was sparsely attended!
Mr. Isaac Townsend Smith presented an address on "The Treatment of
Prisoners of War. The season which has just drawn to a close has been a
most prosperous one in every department of the Society's work, and we hope
that the ensuing period will be the same. The members elected at the last
meeting were: Mrs. Eugene Lamb Richards, Mrs. Chas. A. Sherman, and Mr.
Edward Guyre Burgess.
The Librarian wishes to announce that the Library will be closed to all
during the month of August, but during July and September it will be available
to members only on presentation of a visiting card. This arrangement is
made necessary by the annual cleaning, cataloguing and renovating which
have contributed so materially to the improvement of the Library

the Barker Genealogy, etc., Syracuse. Privately printed, 1900. 8vo, pp. 46.
Price, $1.00,
The object of this pamphlet is to awaken an interest among the descend-
ants of James Parshall that will assist the compiler in the more complete gene-
alogy of this Long Island family upon which he is now at work. Judging from
the arrangement and subject matter of this preliminary work Mr, Parshall's
ability to compile the larger volume deserves our fullest confidence.
Genealogy of the Riggs Family with a number of Cognate
Branches descended from the original Edward through female
lines, and many biographical outlines. By John H. Wallace. Vol. I.
New York. Published by the author, 1901. 8vo, cloth.
The work of more than a quarter of a century, this book represents ten
generations, from 1590 to 1899, and is embraced in one hundred and fifty-four
pages, octavo size, with wide margins for notes and emendations. The com-
plete line of descent from the first Edward of Roxbury is shown in each house-
hold, and every father in the line is recorded in his place. The system of
indexing is very simple and complete, embracing about three thousand refer-
ences, which are made to consecutive households or paragraphs.
This book is printed on good paper, with a photogravure frontispiece of
Rev. Elias Riggs, D.D., LL.D., of Turkey; is serviceably bound in cloth, with
the title stamped in gold on the back and side of the cover. It is hoped that
the appearance of the book among the kindred may arouse an interest that
will result in a second volume. The 250 copies will be sold at $5, or five copies
for $20 in one order and one remittance. All remittances must be made by
postal money order, or by bank check on New York, to John H. Wallace, No.
40 West 93d Street, N. Y. City.
Historical and Genealogical Record of the Descendants, as
far as known, of rlchard and joan borden; who settled in ports-
MOUTH, R. I., May 1638, with Historical and Biographical Sketches
of some of Their Descendants. Compiled by Hattie Borden Weld. 8VO3.
cloth, pp. 348.
Mrs. Weld's genealogical study has certainly been pursued in a liberal
spirit as the three hundred odd pages of this work demonstrate. No effort has
been spared to obtain from living members of the family facts of interest for
this volume; and the compiler is surely, as she styles herself, "an ardent gene-
alogist." The work begins with a colored reproduction of the Borden Arms
and then follows a treatise on the origin of the name, with extracts from " The
Great Roll of Battle Abby," after which the compiler plunges at once into the
subject of the emigration to America. Regarding this she says (quoting from
the Rev. Pardon G. Seabury's manuscript), "from a careful and very extended
examination of the early records of the Borden family, these two persons (Rich-
ard and John Borden) appear to have been the pioneers in the work of immi-
gration to this country, if not the only persons of that name who came over
early and were the ancestors of the numerous Borden families that are scattered
throughout every part of the Union."
The probability of these two being brothers is discussed, but the descend-
ants given in the body' of the work all come from Richard and his Welsh wife,
Joan. These are given for eleven generations all conveniently arranged for
ready reference. The work is illustrated and excellently bound, and the
contents show patient labor and thorough, painstaking research.
The Bemis History and Genealogy, being an Account, in the
greater part, of the descendants of joseph bemis, of water-
town, Mass. By Col. Thomas Wain-Morgan Draper, San Francisco, 1900.

This work was compiled from nearly a thousand question blanks sent out
by Col. Draper which were returned to him filled in with data taken from fam-

Book Notices. [July.
ily bibles, church and town records, — truly reliable sources. Aside from these
the author has consulted many books on the subject a list of which he gives in
the preface. No attempt is made to set forth the family history in England, so
the work begins immediately with Joseph Bemis "founder and original immi-
grant," who was born in England 1619, and came to Watertown, Mass., about
1640. Descendants are given for six generations, with addenda regarding par-
tially identified members of the family. The book is excellently printed on
good paper and contains very full index of names and places.
John Gibson of Cambridge, Mass., and His Descendants, 1634-
1899. By Mehitable Calef Coppenhagen Wilson, 1900. (Washington, D. C.)
8vo, cloth, pp. 542.
"It is not certain," says the author in her preface, "whether our Gibsons
are of English or Scottish origin: England, however, is generally the ascribed
birth place of John Gibson, the Pioneer of 1634 in Cambridge, Mass., . . . "
The book does not purport to be a full Gibson genealogy since, as the compiler
says, it has been impossible to reach all its members, and some of those that'
have been solicited have chosen to withold their information. Notwithstanding
all that Mrs. Wilson has managed to crowd the pages of a thick volume with a
mass of genealogical and biographical material that has been gathered from
every available source and set forth here for the benefit of John Gibson's de-
scendants. There are two hundred and twenty-eight families traced in this
methodically arranged book and the thorough index is its crowning glory.
The Wintermute Family History. Compiled by J. P. Wintermute,
Delaware, Ohio, 1900. 8vo, cloth, pp. 335.
After many years of painstaking research, this family history is finally
presented for consideration. No doubt there are some errors, possibly many
omissions, and in some families a very meager report. However the volume
comprises the descendants of John George, Lennard and Philip Wintermute,
of Stillwater, N. J., Wantage, N. J., and Wyoming Pa., respectively, and is
divided into three parts, each reserved to the descendants of these immigrants
separately. The press work is excellent, the binding neat, the illustrations
generous — the whole volume a credit to the compiler. It contains 335 pages,
and sixty halftone portraits of the family, including pictures of the two stone
houses built by the emigrator, one of which is about one hundred and fifty
years old. The work contains nearly three thousand names of descendants,
including those who have married into the family, with a more or less complete
history which the author has endeavored to make thoroughly reliable, not giving
anything as fact unless it seemed to be thoroughly authenticated. The book
was much larger than at first expected and the price is $4 for first quality cloth
binding, $5.50 in full morocco. Remittances should be made to J. P. Winter-
mute, Delaware, Ohio.
Old Landmarks and Historic Personages of Boston. By Samuel
Adams Drake. New and revised edition, illustrated, Boston. Little, Brown &
Co., 1900. Crown 8vo, cloth, pp. xviii-484.
Mr. Drake has been for several years accumulating materials for a thorough
revision of the work. Besides numerous alterations in the text, designed to
keep pace with the march of improvement, the opportunity has been availed of
for the introduction of new and interesting matter. A number of full-page
illustrations not found in earlier editions have been added, including a rare pic-
ture of Boston in 1830; the daring feat of Isaac Harris, in saving the Old South
from the flames; Boston Common as a cow pasture, with the Great Elm; Old
Concert Hall, The Almack's of Boston; State Street in 1825, etc. The edition
is uniform with the author's " Historic Mansions and Highways around Boston"
and contains 93 illustrations and numerous plates. The original edition of this
popular work has always been considered accurate and authoritative, so that
the revisions have naturally added to its scope and its interest. Copies may be
had of the publishers at $2.50 each.
Ye Ancient Buriall Place of New London, Conn. New London.
Press of the Day Pub. Co., 1899. Ob. 8vo, pp. 40, illustrated.
igoi.] Book Notices. igr
A record of the inscriptions on the gravestones of this the oldest burial
place in eastern Connecticut has never until now been compiled, nor has any
adequate representation of this historic spot been published. This attractive
book, compiled by Mr. Edward Prentis of New London, contains the inscrip-
tions from all the legible stones and is put forth "That those who come after us
may know the names, and location of the graves of those who rest in the hal-
lowed ground." The descriptive matter is taken from The Repository and
calls particular attention to the exact location of the graves of the heroic dead.
A panoramic view of the graveyard is folded in the centre of the book, and
upon it each headstone is numbered to correspond with the key.
History of Norfolk, Litchfield County, Connecticut. Opening
chapters by Rev. Joseph Eldridge. Compiled by Theron Wilmot Crissey,
Everett, Mass. The Massachusetts Pub. Co., 1900. L. 8vo, cloth, pp. viii-648.
A splendid work and one that does great credit not only to the compiler
but to the inhabitants of Norfolk as well. Its inception like that of so many
others of its kind, began in genealogical research, which made apparent to the
author the need of such a work and Norfolk's worthiness of it. The first three
chapters by Dr. Eldridge refer to the history of Connecticut prior to the settle-
ment of this town and also to the early events in its history. Then follow
twenty-eight chapters by Mr. Crissey giving a complete and comprehensive
biography of the town, with details of its political ecclesiastical, social and mil-
itary history, well arranged, profusely illustrated and full of interest. Nor has
the author forgotten to clothe his work in attractive and serviceable form, for
the print, paper and binding are all one could desire; while that most necessary
adjunct, the index, completes its perfection.
Historical Memoranda concerning Persons and Places in Old
Dover, N. H. . . . Edited by John Scales of Dover. Vol. I. Dover, N. H.,
March, 1900. 8vo, cloth, pp. 425.
The contents of this volume were collected by Rev. Dr. Alonzo Hall Quint,
and others, and published in the Dover Inquirer from 1850 to 1888. They
were republished in part, in the Dover Inquirer from Dec. 10, 1897 to Jan. 5,
1900. As the matter was printed from week to week, the same type was used
to print four pages of this volume. At the completion of 97 pages the publica-
tion ceased and the editor personally took up the work and pushed it to com-
pletion. The subject matter was collected by Dr. Quint during nearly forty
years and the publication of his valuable memoranda is the result of repeated
demands from Librarians of many public libraries.
Windham, Maine, in the War of the Revolution, 1775-1783. By
Nathan Goold. H. W. Bryant, Bookseller and Publisher, Portland, Me., 1900.
8vo, paper, pp. 16. 50 cents.
This little pamphlet gives an account of the soldiers of Windham at Bos-
ton, Ticonderoga, Saratoga, Quaker Hill, Valley Forge, Monmouth, etc., but
does not pretend to give a complete list of those who served.

cerning the families of Makepeace, Browne, Owen, Price, Smock, Conover,
(Van Couwenhoven.) Schenck, Leggett, Mandeville, De Rie, Roos and Mott,
and accounts of Osborne the Seneschal and Richard Lawrence. The book is
compiled from published histories with corrections made by the author among
which is a corrected form of the arms of the Schenck family.

R. Stevenson, of Haddonfield. N. J. The Jersey 'man is published by Mr. Deats
and is issued quarterly at 50 cents per annum, single numbers 15 cents each.
"^Ancestry of Capt. Timothy Prout of Boston, Mass. By J. Henry
Lea (Reprinted from the New England Historical and Genealogical Register
for January, 1901), Boston. Press of David Clapp & Son, 1901. 8vo, paper, pp. 14.
Mr. Lea gives in this sketch authentic proof of the English ancestry of
Capt. Timothy Prout, Surveyor of the Port of Boston, Captain of Forts and
Artillery, Member of the Committee of Deeds with Indians, Selectman and
Representative, 1682-1692.
Suffolk Deeds, Liber XL Boston. Rockwell & Churchill, 1900. 8vo,
cloth.
This volume of the Suffolk Deeds contains the biographies of the early
Recorders and Registers of Deeds of the County of Suffolk, begun in volume
X., by Mr. John T. Hassam, who has here brought them down to 1900. In
accordance with an order issued by the Board of Aldermen the deeds are
reprinted verbatim, and the whole indexed by Mr. Hassam under five headings:
Grantors, Grantees, Persons other than Grantors or Grantees, Places, Mis-
cellaneous.
A History of the Kentucky and Missouri Stiles, with a sketch
of the New Jersey and Other Kindred. By LaFayette Stiles Pence,
Lebanon, Ky. W. T. Hawkins, 1896. 8vo, paper, pp. 48. Price, 50 cents.
Dr. Henry R. Stiles, in his Genealogy of the Stiles Family, refers to the
existence of a Kentucky branch, supposed to have moved there from Morris-
town, N. J., which at that time he could not connect with the parent stock.
Mr. Pence has since done the "connecting" and takes up the family at this
point, carrying them through several generations.
Early Dublin. A List of the Revolutionary Soldiers of Dub-
lin, N. H. By Samuel Carroll Derby, Columbus, Ohio, 1901. 8vo, paper, pp. 34.
The general purpose of these lists is to preserve the memory of Dublin
men who took a strenuous part in those "times that tried men's souls." It
comprehends the list published in the History of Dublin forty-five years ago,
which list this pamphlet has revised and increased. The basis of the work is
Vols. XIV.-XVIL, inch, of the New Hampshire State Papers, known as "The
Revolutionary Rolls."
Genealogy of the Tapley Family. Illustrated. Compiled by Har-
riett Sylvester Tapley, Danvers, Mass., 1900. 8vo, cloth, pp. 256.
The pages of this volume include all the Tapley families in this country,
as far as known, with the exception of the Mansfield Tapley branch of Cam-
bridge. The name in one line of this branch which settled in Vermont and
Canada became changed in the last century to Taplin, this spelling being still
in use among the descendants. The first generation given in this book is
John Tapley, born in England in 1638; married in Salem, 6 Dec, 1663, Eliza-
beth, dau. of John Pride of Salem. His descendants are given in eight gener-
ations, and the volume then takes up the line of Gilbert Tapley of Salem, the
ancestor of the Danvers branch. His descendants are likewise noted for eight
generations, followed by an appendix giving a summary of the descendants of
Mark Tapley of Chicago, Ephraim of Virginia, and Hosea of North Carolina.
The whole is well indexed, neatly printed, and serviceably bound.
The Evolution of Stuyvesant Village (New York City): Tenth
to Bleecker Streets, Broadway to Second Avenue and around
there. By A. A. Rikeman, Mamaroneck, 1899. 8vo, cloth, pp. 88.
i go i.] Book Notices. I 87
Between the years 1 568-1609, many of the Protestant Hollanders who fled
from persecution came to Manhattan Island and settled upon the territory
described in the title of this volume, which was afterward known as Stuyvesant
Village. Miss Rikeman's ancestors were among them, hence her personal
interest in that bit of local history. The material is drawn largely from
tradition obtained from five generations who were well informed in the local
affairs, with whom the author has long been in touch. The book is purely
historical, and is full of interest. Copies may be had of the author at Mamar-
oneck, N. Y. Price, $1.25 each.
Genealogy of the Dickey Family. By John Dickey, Worcester, Mass.
F. S. Blanchard & Co., 1898. 8vo, Half Mor., pp. 322.
After the death of Mr. Dickey, the compiler of this work, in 1894, his
manuscript was placed in the hands of Blanchard & Co. for publication. The
result is a splendid volume of interest to both the Dickey family and the
genealogical world. William Dickey ajid his wife, Elizabeth, came from the
north of Ireland some time prior to 1730, and brought with them three children:
Samuel, Elias and Elisabeth; the three Dickeys furnishing the title of this
book. The work is divided into three parts: — part 1, Samuel Dickey and his
descendants; part 2, Elias Dickey and his descendants; part 3, Elisabeth
Dickey (married John Hall of the north of Ireland). The book is most
thoroughly indexed. Copies may be had of the publishers.
Complete Lineage of the Sturges Families of Maine, 1530 to 1900,
from De Turges, England, and Cape Cod, Mass., to Vassalboro and
Gorham. With other Sturges Genealogy. Compiled by Alonzo Walton
Sturges, Lewiston, Me., 1900. 8vo, cloth, pp. 40.
This compilation is the larger growth of a pamphlet published by the same
author in 1898 under the title "A few Stray Leaves from Sturges Genealogy."
Since that was issued Mr. Sturges has been in communication with various
persons having information on this famliy, so that he is able now to trace the
ancestry back 370 years. Edward Sturges, of New England, 1634, was the
progenitor of the American family, and in addition to his descendants in the
various branches of Vassalboro and Gorham, Maine, this volume gives a
partial genealogy of the Coleman family.
Albermarle County in Virginia. Giving some account of what it
was by Nature, what it was made by man, and of some of the men
who made it. By Rev. Edgar Woods. The Michie Company, Charlottesville,
Va., 1901. 8vo, cloth, pp. 412.
" Public affairs are abundantly recorded," says the author. " Not only are
they set forth in the countless Journals of the day, but scores of ready pens are
waiting to embody them in more permanent form in histories of our own times."
Private events then, are those to which the author of this work has turned his
attention. Events of travel, toil, settlement, public and private achievement,
and all the facts that constitute the growth of any locality. The historical
narrative concluded, the author then takes up the various families in alpha-
betical order and gives a short sketch of each with reference to the more
prominent members. These "Accounts of Families " occupy more than half of
the volume.
New Hampshire, Lake Region Inscriptions. Whiteface, Inter-
vale, Sandwich, Perkins Ground, New Durham, Further Memorials
of Meredith, Worcester, Mass. Pub. by Franklin P. Rice, 1900. 8vo,
pamphlet, pp. 28.
Mr. Franklin P. Rice of Worcester, Mass., informs us that he has entered
into a three year's arrangement for the management and operation of the
Systematic History Fund, which was instituted with the purpose to assist the
printing and publication of certain elementary historical material. The inten-
tion of this undertaking is broader than implied in antiquarian or genealogical
research alone, being to preserve, arrange, and make accessible original data
which is the foundation of all history. Small editions are to be printed, and the
desire is to place these publications in as many public depositories as possible.
1 88 Book Notices. [July,
The cooperation and patronage of Librarians and others are solicited in this
movement to make accessible original sources of history. While operations
under the Fund are not confined to any particular locality, nor restricted to any
special class of matter within the broad field to be developed, it is natural that
the first work undertaken should be in the vicinity of Worcester; as it is
thought advisable that the personal records of a place should be, so far as
possible, completed before other work is attempted. Two publications — The
Worcester Coimty Warnings, and The Vital Records of Auburn — have been
issued. The latter of these is a paper covered volume of 142 pages, and gives
the records to the end of the year 1850, with inscriptions from the Old Burial
Grounds. Besides these two publications, Mr. Rice has issued the Worcester
Book, a Diary of Noteworthy events in Worcester from 1657 to 1883, paper, pp.
159; Proceedings at a dinner to Mr. Rice in recognition of work accomplished
in the development of systematic history; and nearly 100 other publications of
a similar character. This enterprise of furnishing indexed information to the
antiquary, genealogist and historian, is certainly a most worthy one and deserves
the hearty cooperation of all libraries and similar institutions.
A Complete Roster of Colonel David Waterbury, Jr.'s Regiment
of Connecticut Volunteers. By A. H. Clark, 1897. Published by A. S.
Clark, 174 Fulton St., N. Y. City. Price, $1.00.
This was the first regiment of infantry responding to a call for volunteers
for the defence of New York City against the British in the American Revolu-
tion, and the material here is printed for the first time from manuscript records
in the possession of the publisher, with notes compiled from authentic historical
sources. The lists comprise officers and privates of ten companies. Copies are
for sale by the publisher.
Vital Statistics of Seymour, Conn, Vol. 3. Published by W. C.
Sharpe, Seymour, Ct., 1901. 8vo, paper, pp. 88. Price $1. Postage 3 cents.
Mt. Sharpe's indefatigable labors in this field are deserving of our highest
praise. The first of this series was issued in 1883, the second in 1892. The
records begin with the incorporation of the town, in the first volume, and in this,
the third, cover the period from Jan. 1, 1892 to Jan. 1, 1901, giving births, mar-
riages and deaths, and the records of Trinity Church, and the Congregational
Church, with complete index to the whole.
The Genealogy of the Lineal Descendants of William Wood
who settled in Concord, Mass., in 1638. Containing also Revolu-
tionary and other Records. Compiled by Clay W. Holmes, Elmira, N.
Y., 1901. 8vo, cloth, pp. 365.
William Wood was born in England in 1582, emigrated from Mattock,
Derbyshire in 1638 and went to Concord, Mass., where he was one of the first
settlers. He had. one son and one daughter. The descendants of the former
are given for ten generations as completely as possible in this excellent vol-
ume, and those of the latter, who married Thomas Wheeler, are traced in one
line for three generations. The book is a model of arrangement, and its paper,
typography, and general makeup are a pleasure to see. The second part of
the work is replete with historical information including individual war records,
and closes with a very complete index. Mr. Holmes, as historian of the
Smithfield branch, intends to continue his labor and expects later to publish
information concerning that family.
The Jamesons in America, 1647-1900. Genealogical Records and
Memoranda. By E. O. Jameson, illustrated. Published in Boston, Mass., 1901.
Printed by the Rumford Press, Concord, N. H. Royal octavo, pp. 599. Price$7.oo.
We recall the splendid history of Medway, Mass., compiled by Dr. Jame-
son, and published in 1886 by the Town, and we turn to this with great expec-
tations. Nor are we at all disappointed. The volume embodies the results of
more than forty years of inquiry and research, the former conducted by means
of printed circulars, the latter through the assistance of town clerks, registers
of probate, and professional genealogists. The Jamesons have all come from a
common ancestry in Scotland, concerning which the author in an introduction
1 90 1.] Book Notices. I 89
of seven pages, gives interesting information, illustrated with cuts of the arms
of various clans. James Jameson and his wife, Sarah, were the first persons of
the name known in America. They resided in Boston as early as 1647, where
they had five children, three sons and two daughters. The descendants of
these sons are traced in this work five generations and then follow accounts of
the Jamesons of Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maine and New Hampshire, and a
supplement of additional data, received too late for insertion in the preceding
pages. The volume is one of the most attractive family histories we have seen
and it will surely remain a monument not only to the memory and honor of the
Jamesons in America but to its compiler as well. A limited royal edition in
leather and gold, at nine dollars per copy is also published, and copies of either
may be had of the author, No. 31 Greenwich Park, Boston, Mass.
The History of South Carolina in the Revolution, 1775-1780. By
Edward McCrady, LL.D., New York. The Macmillan Co., 1901. 8vo, cloth,
pp. xxxii.-899, gilt.
Mr. McCrady, as president of the Historical Society of South Carolina, and
as author of "The History of South Carolina under Proprietary Government,"
and "The History of South Carolina under the Royal Government," is emi-
nently qualified to take up the interesting and valuable work as set forth in the
title of this book. It is a valuable contribution to our historical literature, and
shows an enormous amount of labor and painstaking research, all directed by
the instinct of the true historian. The story is told in good narrative style that
holds the interest, and the reader feels from cover to cover that the author is
telling the events exactly as his researches have shown him they occurred.
The work is supported by constant reference to authorities consulted, and is
embellished with six maps of the period. Colonel McCrady has done a com-
mendable work that shows his intimacy with the details of the history of his state.
The Parish Register of Christ Church, Middlesex Co., Va., from
1653 to 1812. Published by The National Society of the Colonial Dames of
America in the State of Virginia. Richmond, Wm. Ellis Jones, 1897. Quarto,
cloth, pp. 341.
The section comprised within the present Middlesex Co., was at first
included in Lancaster, but was divided shortly after 1666 into the two parishes
of Lancaster and Middlesex. The original vestry book of this parish is still
preserved in the Episcopal Seminary of Alexander Co., Va., and the copy here
published through the energy and enterprise of the Virginia Colonial Dames,
was made by Mrs. Sally Nelson Robbins, of Richmond, a member of that
Society. The copy was very carefully compared with the original by a com-
mittee of the Virginia Historical Society, of which our esteemed friend Mr.
Wm. G. Stannard, Corres. Sec. and Librarian, was a member. The volume
includes, " Burialls, Christinings, Marriages, etc." arranged chronologically,
covering the period 1653 to 1812, and is for sale by the Virginia HisJ»rical
Society, Richmond, Va.
Peter Prudden. A Story of His Life at New Haven and Mil-
ford, Conn., with the Genealogy of some of His Descendants, and an
Appendix containing copies of Old Wills, Records, Letters and
Papers. By Lillian E. Prudden, 1901. Tuttle, Morehouse & Co., New Haven,
Ct. i2mo, cloth, pp. 169.
The material for this attractive little volume was collected during leisure
hours by Mr. Henry H. Prudden of New Haven, who unfortunately died
before the work was completed — if a genealogical work ever is completed.
Miss Prudden has compiled the present volume from his papers and note
books, and published it with the hope of stimulating some other member of the
family to continue the work. " The genealogical lists are complete only in the
line of descent which includes the writer's own family," though much other
data is given, and the family carried to the ninth generation.
Samuel Slade Benton, His Ancestors and Descendants. By Josiah
Henry Benton, Jr. Privately printed, 1901. L. 8vo, cloth, pp. 354.
This volume, of which 250 copies were printed by the Merrymount Press,
in March, 1901, is reserved for private distribution, and is therefore not for
IQO Book Notices. [July,
sale. Its mechanical construction is of a like pattern to Mr. Benton's other
publications, with early imprint headlines, and is put together with his usual
excellent taste. It is the story of his own family, which Mr. Benton " has
endeavored to tell in such a way as to give the book some historical value."
He has done it, for the mass of data will interest all descendants of Edward
Benton, the progenitor of the American family of that name.
History and Genealogy of the Carpenter Family in America,
from the Settlement at Providence, R. I., 1637 to 1901. By Daniel
Hoogland Carpenter of Maplewood, N. J. The Marion Press, Jamaica, N. Y.,
1901. 8vo, half leather, pp. 370.
We have waited long and hopefully for this book; and, though occassional
bits of news regarding its progress have floated to us, and made our expecta-
tions of a high order, the work far surpasses our greatest hopes. Externally
and internally — in binding, paper and print — it is good to see and sensible; in
the matter of contents it is a monumental labor. There are three distinct
families of the name in America. All come from England, and are known in
this country as The Providence Family, The Rehoboth Family, and the Phila-
delphia Family. The last has been "written up" in Mr. Chas. P. Smith's
"Lloyds & Carpenters," the Rehoboth branch in Mr. Amos B. Carpenter's
voluminous work, and this, of the Providence Family, completes the cycle.
It begins with William Carpenter of Providence, and carries his descendants
to the present generation, through Long Island, Westchester Co., Duchess Co.,
Ulster Co., and Rensselaer Co., N. Y., New York City, Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick, Michigan, New Jersey and Ohio. The work is profusely illustrated,
and contains several maps and facsimiles of records. Only 150 copies are
issued, of which 100 are already subscribed.
Field Genealogy. Being the Record of all the Field Family,
Whose Ancestors were in this Country prior to 1700. By Frederick
Clifton Pierce. Two volumes. W. B. Conkey & Co., Chicago, 1901. Imperial
octavo, cloth, pp. 600, 601-1196.
Another voluminous work added to the already large list from the pen of
this compiler. It traces the descent from ancestors located in Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire and Virginia, all
descendants of the Fields of England, whose ancestor Hurbutus De la Field,
was from Alsace-Lorraine. Of the historical matter incorporated we quote
from the Table of Contents as follows: Early History, Origin of the name,
Arms, English Homes, The Fields of other places in Wakefield, Horsmondon
branch, Fields of Heaton, Yorkshire branch, College graduates, Revolutionary
Soldiers, Pensioners of the Revolutionary War, also the genealogies of the
various branches in America, giving many thousand names. The work was
compiled at the instigation of John Spafford Field, and the English researches
were supervised by the late Osgood Field of Rome, Italy. The book is a
wonder in the matter of voluminous detail, and it grew so from its first inception
that it was finally published in two volumes, each about twice the size originally
intended. There are 1 196 pages of closely printed matter, and, nearly 300 half
tone illustrations.
Genealogical Memoranda Relating to the Family of Merriam.
By Charles Pierce Merriam and C. E. Gildersome-Dickinson, London. Privately
printed at the Chiswick Press, 1900. Quarto boards, pp. 99 and chart.
The name Merriam is now a distinctly American name. The family in
Kent County, Eng., has died out, the compiler of this work, born in America,
has been for a number of years the only one of the name in the London directory.
In America, however, the descendants of George and Joseph Merriam, who
settled in Concord, Mass., 1638, have increased. These three brothers were
sons of William of Hadlow, in Kent, Eng., and it is of the Merriams prior to
the emigration that this volume treats, giving wills, parish registers, feet of
fine, lay subsidies, poll-books and pedigrees. The imprint of the Chiswick
Press determines the mechanical merit of this work, and Mr. Merriam's thirty
year's residence in England, its authentic and painstaking research.

History of the Barr Family, beginning with Great-Grandfather
Robert Barr, and Mary Wills; their descendants down to the
latest child. By Rev. Wm. B. Barr of Hoboken, N. J., 1901. i2mo, cloth,
pp. 216.
Of the Church, the State and the Family, the author of this work attaches
the most importance to the last, because it lies at the foundation of the others.
Hence, if it is incumbent upon the Church and the State to keep careful record
of their historic events, it is equally important that the family should do the
same. This family is "scattered from Plymouth Rock to the Golden Gate,
from Alaska to South America," and Dr. Barr has spent much time, patience,
and money in gathering their records. The Barrs are of Scotch-Irish descent,
of "good Psalm singing Presbyterian stock," and began in this country with
Robert Barr, who was born in Donegal Co., Ireland, and came to this country
in 1790, whence he settled in Huntingdon Co., Penn. He had five sons and one
daughter, all of whom are traced through their descendants to the present
generation. The most interesting part of this book is the language in which
the story is told — sprightly, eloquent, original. The volume is well printed,
well illustrated, and thoroughly indexed. For copies, at $2.00, postage 30 cts.,

Ancestral Chart of Eleven Generations. Arranged and copy-
righted by Miss Georgiana Guild of Providence, R. I. 9 x 12^. Price, $5.00.
Edition 100.
Miss Guild has produced the most artistic form of genealogical chart
which has as yet come to our notice. It is printed on heavy, pure white paper,
with the rulings and printed matter in blue with red initial letters. The chart
consists of title page, dedication, page of directions, 33 leaves for genealogical
notations, 11 pages for additional notes, and nine for index. All are bound
together lengthwise with blue ribbon, the whole forming a most attractive
record book worthy of a place on any library table. The arrangement is much
the same as that issued by this Society. The first page, "Chart A," carries the
compiler back six generations, from which point each of the 32 ancestors is
carried back five generations upon a separate chart. This collection of pages
forms the completed record; and, forseeing errors and corrections, Miss Guild
has arranged a separate set of "Working Charts," the contents of which, when
complete and satisfactory, can be transferred carefully by any good penman to
the "Ancestral Chart." The whole work is ingeniously conceived, carefully
worked out, and beautifully executed. Copies may be had of Miss Georgiana
Guild, 34 Pratt St., Providence, R. I. Price, $5.00 for Ancestral Chart, $2.00 per
set for Working Charts.
Philip and Philippa, A Genealogical Romance of To-day. By
John Osborne Austin, 1901. 8vo, cloth, pp. 183.
Mr. Austin has tried his hand at a new field of genealogical literature, and
we frankly confess it difficult to reconcile. The story is one of the union of
two last representatives of two different branches of the same family, one Eng-
lish and the other American, one a girl of seventeen, the other a youth of
twenty-five. They have never seen each other, though he knows of her exist-
ence, and his quest of her takes him through many lands — a quest which results
of course in matrimony, patrimony and harmony, "forever after."

The contents of this volume suggest its scope:— The Blair coat-of-arms,
the Blairs of Ulster Province, the first of the New England family, six genera-
tions of the Blairs in America, Capt. William Blair of Boston, William Blair of
Framingham and Shrewsbury, Mass., the Blairs of New Hampshire, the descent
of Mrs. Samuel Blair from John Frary.and John Stow, Mrs. William Blair's de-
scent from Rev. Peter Thacher and Richard Seymour, addenda, index. The

The object of this Society is the discovery, procuring, preservation and
perpetuation of whatever may relate to American Genealogy, Biography and
Local History; and it aims to cover the field of genealogical and biographical
research more thoroughly than has been done by the public libraries or societies
devoted to one particular locality or period.
The Society was founded and incorporated in 1869. For nearly twenty
years it occupied modest quarters in Mott Memorial Hall, No. 64 Madison
Avenue. In October, 1888, rooms were secured in the Berkeley Lyceum, No.
23 West 44th Street, where the Society remained until May, 1896, when the
present building was purchased through the generous bequest of Mrs. Eliza-
beth Underhill Coles and the substantial assistance of some of the members.
The Society building, No. 226 West 58th Street, is a handsome five-story
structure, with an attractive entrance, and, having lately undergone extensive
alterations and repairs, is admirably suited to the uses of the Society. It
contains a lecture hall handsomely decorated and well lighted, heated and
ventilated, with a seating capacity of one hundred and seventy-five persons;
a fire-proof library specially constructed with a view to safety, light, quiet and
convenience, and an attractive room for general Society purposes open to
members and their friends.
The Society has, by careful and capable management, steadily improved,
and has at present assets amounting to nearly $50,000.00, and a good income
from dues and rentals ; it is under the management of a Board of Trustees
elected by the members for alternating periods of three years.
The membership of the Society, comprising a large number of our best
known and prominent citizens, is made up of Annual, Life and Honorary Mem-
bers. Annual Members pay an entrance fee of $10.00, and the sum of $5.00 per
year dues. Life Members pay $50.00 in lieu of all dues and fees.
Persons desirous of becoming members of the Society may address the
Executive Committee. Members have the right of introducing visitors to the
rooms and to the privileges of the Society.
The Library has upon its shelves over five thousand volumes of Geneal-
ogy, Biography and Local History, and nearly thrice that number of pamphlets
and unbound books on these subjects, as well as many manuscripts of value.
It is open to members and visitors from 10 A. M. to 6 P. m. on week days and
holidays, and from 8 to 10 P. M. on Mondays, except during the months of
August and September.
Regular Meetings of the Society, at which addresses of historical interest
are delivered, are held on the second Friday evening of each month, except
June, July, August and September.
The Society has progressed steadily in its particular sphere, and has been
the means of awakening interest in many persons heretofore ignorant of or
indifferent to their ancestral history; during the past decade this interest has
greatly increased, and has resulted in bringing to light and preservation many
records of value. Beginners in the Genealogical field will find that the Society
with its collections, its "Record," and the accumulated experience of its mem-
bers, offers advantages indispensable to their work.
" Those who do not treasure up the memory of their ancestors do not deserve-
to be remembered by posterity ." — Edmund Burke.

THE PUBLIC CAREER OF ROBERT LIVINGSTON.
By Walter L. Fleming.
(Continued from Vol. XXXII., page 135, of The Record.)
But soon a change came in these pleasant relations. During
nis stay m London, Livingston had conceived a plan for riddin^
the_ seas of the pirates who preyed upon the commerce of all
nations. The plan was for the King to furnish Captain William
Kidd an armed vessel of 30 guns and 150 men. Captain Kidd
who knew the haunts of the pirates was then to go in search of
them. The plunder taken from the pirates would pay the
expenses of the expedition. The King thought favorably of the
scheme, and laid it before the Admiralty Board* However
all the vessels of the navy were employed in the war with France'
and this project failed. Next Livingston proposed a private
venture, for the double purpose of apprehending the pirates and
making a profit on the plunder taken from them. An agreement
was made between Kidd and Livingston acting together and
Lord Bellomont acting for himself, Lord Chancellor Somers the
S* °l Shrewsbury, the Earls of Romney and Oxford Sir
Edmond Harrison and others.* The King to show his approval
retained for himself a tenth share in the enterprise. Bellomont
secured a commission for Kidd as a privateer, and undertook to
procure a grant from the King to some "indifferent trusty
person of all the plunder that should be taken by Kidd Four-
nltns of the cost of equipment of the vessel, amounting- to /i 600
was advanced by Bellomont for himself and associates Kidd
and Livingston advanced one-fifth, ^400. The ship, provided
by Bellomont and his partners, raised the amount of their ex-
penditures to ,£6,000, which Kidd and Livingston agreed to
refund in case of failure of the undertaking. To secure this
agreement Livingston made bond to Bellomont for ^10,000 and
Kidd for ^20 000. The ship was to become Kidd's property in
case he should deliver prizes to the value of /ioo,ooo to Bello-
mont at Boston. Not more than one-fourth of the plunder was
to go to the crew; the remainder was to be divided into five
equal parts, four of which were to belong to Bellomont and his
associates, and the rest to Kidd and Livingston f

IQ4 The Public Career of Robert Livingston. [Oct.,
Kidd sailed away in search of the pirates. Meeting with in-
different success, he turned pirate himself, and ravaged the seas
until Bellomont captured him in Boston. The promoters of the
scheme were accused by political enemies of abetting Kidd in his
crime. In Parliament the Tory party impeached several Whig
lords charging them, among other things, with being connected
with Kidd's piracies. They easily proved their innocence and
were acquitted by the House of Lords.* Bellomont thought it
was all the fault of Livingston, who had gotten up the scheme
and recommended Kidd for the command of the ship. The
governor reported his suspicion to the Lords of Trade. He wrote
that as soon as Livingston heard of the capture of Kidd, he
hastened to Boston and tried to "embezzel" the cargo of Kidd's
sloop.f He also made every effort to obtain the surrender of his
bond from Bellomont.
The governor was at last convinced of Livingston's innocence,
but so sore was he over the whole affair, that he did not send the
proofs to the authorities in England. So the charges remained
and afterwards caused much annoyance. Bellomont never for-
gave Livingston for getting him into this trouble. He no longer
considered him the best man in the colony. At every opportunity
he said harsh things of Livingston. " He pinched an estate out
of the poor soldier's bellies."J The governor was offended when
Livingston set up a saw mill, and wrote to England his suspicions
that Livingston would saw up the trees reserved for the navy.§
Bellomont thought that no person should own more than 1,000
acres of land, and endeavored to have an act passed by the
Assembly to vacate some of the extravagant grants made by
Fletcher. ||
He thought the defeat of this measure was due to Livingston,
who as a great landowner was opposed to it, though he would
-not have been affected by it, his land having been granted by
Governor Dongan.
In Indian affairs Livingston kept well informed, and often
was sent on missions to the Iroquois. He sent spies to Canada to
find out the designs of the French prison, and deserters were
examined by him, and any information obtained was at once
transmitted to the governor.l He recommended opening up
trade with the western tribes by sending 200 whites, who under-
stood the Indians, to live among them, and build a fort (where
Detroit now is), to protect them and secure the country.** At
another time he sends the governor a plan for securing the
Iroquois; they should be brought near the English settlements;
forts should be build to protect them; they could be used as
"bush lopers" against the French; trade with them should be
carefully regulated; ministers should be sent to them to keep
them from listening to French priests, and to convert them to
Protestantism "which they much prefer."ft

Upon one occasion he informed the governor that there was
an intrigue at Albany, between Colonel Schuyler and others, to
keep the control of Indian affairs in their own hands, and that
they had used Indian goods belonging to the Colony to secure
the sachems to their interests. Bellomont thought that Living-
stan was in the plot also.*
Livingston's changes of political opinions had caused both
parties to distrust him. Bellomont, who now disliked him as
much as he had once liked him, fixed a time for his suspension,
along with Smith and Schuyler, from the council. The reason
for suspension was that they were "no Leislerians."f Bellomont
died on the very night fixed for announcing the dismissal, and
Livingston was saved for a time.
Nanfan, the lieutenant-governor, was absent in Barbadoes
when Bellomont died, and a dispute arose in the council as to who
should act in his place. Livingston, with the minority, supported
the claims of Colonel William Smith as being the oldest member
of the council. The Leislerian majority wanted to elect a pre-
siding officer by vote of the council. Livingston and his friends
refused to appear at the meetings. A statement of the facts was
sent by the majority to the lower house. That body passed a
resolution that the authority devolved upon the council as a
whole, and that the oldest member should be the presiding officer
The majority answered that the lower house had nothing to do
with the matter in dispute. \
The wrangle continued, and the lower house adjourned. A
month later Nanfan arrived.
Under Nanfan Livingston was retained in the council and for
a while was a favorite of the lieutenant-governor, who endorsed
his claims, and gave him a certificate that he was an all round
good citizen, and that in Indian affairs his services were especially
valuable. §
About this time (1701), Livingston addressed a long com-
munication to the Lords of Trade, setting forth the importance
of New York as a barrier against the French and Indians; atten-
tion was called to the encroachments of the French; the condition
of the New York forts was made known; the suggestion was
made that the method of pay and supply of the independent
companies be investigated; he recommend that missionaries be
sent to convert the Iroquois, and thus secure them to the English,
and that forts be built to protect them; he gave information of
the French settlement at the mouth of the Mississippi; the de-
fensive system was explained. A form of colonial government
in three provinces was proposed. The first province was to be
made up of Virginia, Maryland and the Carolinas; the second
province, of Pennsylvania, New Castle, the Jerseys, and part of
Connecticut; the rest of Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hamp-
shire and Massachusetts should compose the third province.

Io6 The Public Career of Robert Livingston. fOct.,
Each province was to raise .£5,000 a year for the common defense,
and the King was to send over military stores and soldiers for
garrison duty at certain specified posts. As a means of securing
the frontier, 200 soldiers were to be discharged every two years,
and lands granted to them on the frontiers. Recruits to the
number of 200 were to be sent from England every two years.
He makes the suggestion that soldiers cannot fight in the woods
according to the manner of fighting in Europe. He proposed
certain regulations for the production of naval stores, and sug-
gested that in time of war a soldier should be appointed as gov-
ernor of each province. In short, he outlined a complete plan of
colonial government, for peace and for war, and there is evidence
that the home authorities acted upon some of his suggestions.*
Livingston had been the moving spirit of the aristocratic
party in its opposition to Leisler, and this, added to his conduct
in the council after the death of Bellomont, made him many
enemies among the Leislerians. On this account he was unable
to secure a settlement of his claims in the province, so he pro-
posed to go to London again, to push his case before the Treasury
and Board of Trade. The Five Nations were now inspired to
request that he be sent to England to represent their troubles to
the Queen, and to get missionaries for them.f The Leislerians
now accused him of seeking a way to get his expenses paid. He
was charged with fraud in the collection of quitrents and excises,
and the assembly ordered an investigation of his accounts. It is
hard to see anything illegal in influencing the Indians to choose
him as their agent, but the assembly seemed to consider it a
particularly grave charge, and a committee appointed to investi-
gate the matter, asked him to purge himself of the accusation by
his own oath. This he refused to do. He denied the authority
of the assembly to investigate his accounts as collector for the
royal revenues, and refused to submit his papers for inspection.
The fact was the papers were not in his possession, having been
turned over to Bellomont shortly before his death, and now his
widow refused to give them up. Livingston, however, said
nothing of this to the committee of investigation, but simply
denied their right to inspect his accounts. The assembly
charged him with the sum of £*i8,ooo which they said he had
failed to account for, and an act was passed to confiscate his
estate unless he should submit vouchers for that amount by a
certain day. \ He failed to do this, and his property was confiscated.
The Leislerians had succeeded in making Nanfan suspicious
of Livingston, and he suspended him from the council giving as
reasons for so doing, that Livingston had never cleared himself
of complicity in the Kidd affair, that he was evidently guilty of
fraud in the management of the excise, that he had refused to
account for the money that had passed through his hands, that
Bellomont had intended to suspend him from the council, and
finally that by leaving New York he had deserted his duty as a
member of the council. §

190 1. J The Public Career of Robert Livingston. 107
When Lord Cornbury came out as governor he obtained the
books and papers of Livingston from Lady Bellomont, and the
accounts were found to be correct. The act of confiscation, how-
ever, was not repealed, and Cornbury, who disliked Livingston,
refused to notice his claims against the government. It was
necessary to make a second visit to England. The action of the
Five Nations in choosing him as their agent gave Livingston the
opportunity, and he went to London again in 1702. Near the
coast of England his ship was captured and plundered by a
French privateer. Livingston lost some valuable books and
papers, but managed to conceal the most important ones.* Upon
reaching London he applied himself diligently to the affairs of
the Five Nations, and for a year said nothing of his own business.
He attended meetings of the Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel in Foreign Parts, and made a great display of energy
toward securing missionaries for the Five Nations. Two clergy-
men were at last obtained from the Society for the Propagation
of the Gospel, and sent over to New York.f
In 1704, after arranging the business of the Indians, Living-
ston set to work on his own affairs. An order in council was
obtained confirming him in his various offices, and ordering his
claims to be settled by the New York treasury.^ Yet he was not
satisfied. This had been done once before, and the order had
been disregarded by the governor and council. He waited and
worked a year longer, and in 1705 the Queen granted to him
directly a royal commission for all his offices. Yet his troubles
were not ended. Lord Cornbury refused to recognize his com-
missions from the Queen until he had investigated the whole
matter. The investigation dragged on for two years, and not
until 1708 did he obtain his offices again.§ The council again
refused to pay his salary.
In 1709, during the short administration of Lord Lovelace,
Livingston was elected to the assembly from Albany County, and
in 1 7 10 secured the passage of an act repealing the act of 1701
confiscating his estate. ||
Hunter, the next governor, was a Scotchman, and greatly
favored Livingston, his fellow-countryman. All the debts due
him by the government were paid, except his salary as Secretary
of Indian Affairs, to which the council still objected. Now again
the appreciative Five Nations came to the rescue, and asked the
governor to lay the matter before the Queen and request that he
be paid.!" It was not until 17 17 that the arrears of his salary was
paid, and then only on condition that Livingston should never
again ask for a salary.**
* N. Y. Col. Docs., IV., 1063.
t One of these, the Reverend Thoroughgood Moor, not receiving any support in his mission
to the Indians, went to New Jersey and took the place of a clergyman who was returning to
England. He was so scandalized by the immoral conduct of Lieutenant-Governor Ingoldsby
that he refused to admit him to the Communion. Ingoldsby threw him into jail, but the Rev.
Thoroughgood escaped, and sailed on the first vessel for England. The vessel was lost at sea
with all on board. A'. Y. Col. Docs., IV., 1074.

I 98 The Public Career of Robert Livingston. [Oct.,
It is quite interesting to trace the evolution of the office of
Secretary of Indian Affairs while Livingston held it. At first he
was a mere clerk or recorder of the proceedings of a Board of
Commissioners, having no authority whatever. It is not long
before he assumes the title of Secretary of Indian Affairs, and
seldom mentions the superior commissioners. The next step was
to transact business on his own authority. Then he secured a
commission for the office for life from the crown. He had now
left the Board of Commissioners far below, and dealt directly
with the governor and the home government. The protests of
the council and of the governor show how they regarded the in-
creasing importance of the office.
Regular minutes of all conferences with the Indians was kept
from 1675. About 1750, they were collected and bound into four
large volumes, which have since been lost.*
In 17 1 1 several thousand Palatines from Germany, who had
gone to England as refugees, were sent over to New York as
wards of the government. Hunter was directed to set them to
work at producing naval stores. For this purpose he bought
6,000 acres of pine lands from Livingston for ,£4°° New York
currency, and upon this tract the Palatines were settled. f A con-
tract was made with Livingston to supply the settlers with bread
and beer — one-third of a four penny half penny loaf, and a quart
of beer to each person daily. Later the allowance of beer was
not given to the women and children, but only to the men who
worked. J
Through the efforts of his enemies, Livingston had come to
have in England the reputation of a sharper, and when Hunter's
purchase of land and the bread and beer contract became known,
an investigation was made by the Board of Trade. The Earl of
Clarendon (formerly Lord Cornbury), wrote to the Lords of Trade:
"I think it is unhappy that Colo. Hunter at his first arrival in his
government fell into so ill hands, for this Livingston has been
known many years in that province for a very ill man, he formerly
victualled the forces at Albany in which he was guilty of most
notorious frauds by which he greatly improved his estate, he has
a Mill and a Brew house upon his lands, and if he can get the
victualling of those Palatines who are so conveniently posted for
his purpose, he will make a very good addition to his Estate, and
I am persuaded the hopes he has of such a subsistence to be
allowed by her Majesty were the Chief if not the only Induce-
ments that prevailed with him to propose to Colo. Hunter to
settle them upon his land, which is not the best place for Pine
trees. ... I am of the opinion that if the subsistence be
allowed the consequence will be that Livingston and some others
will get Estates, the Palatines will not be the richer."§
Governor Hunter appointed a board of Inspectors to govern
the Palatines, and of this board Livingston was made president.
It was provided that he was always to be a member of the board. |

The representatives of the Palatines made the complaint that
Livingston endeavored to get into his own hands the manage-
ment of all supplies. His private interests, they asserted, in the
subsistence of the Palatines rendered it improper for him to be
president of the board of Inspectors.*
To the charges made against him, an answer was made by his
many friends to the Lords of Trade that: "Mr. Livingston was
always known to be a careful, industrious and diligent man, who
by these more than by any other means hath got a considerable
estate. It is true that he was accused by a faction in that coun-
try of having defrauded the Govern1 of great sums when he
subsisted the forces at Albany, but it is as true that he hath
honorably cleared himself, having fairly pas't his accounts before
a committee of Council upon which he obtained an Act of
Assembly for releasing him and his estate that was under a
sequestration until he hath so pas't his accounts; and that the
reason that induced the Govr to deal with him was not so much
his choice as advantage because the said Livingston made most
reasonable and fair offers. . . . That Mr. Livingston under-
took this with a prospect of advantage is so certain that it might
have created an ill opinion of him if it were otherwise."! From
the subsistence contract Livingston obtained more than ,£15, 000. \
Sometimes even Hunter grew suspicious of Livingston and
said rough things about him. Once, thinking Livingston had
endeavored to make trouble for him in England, he wrote: "I
know him to be the most selfish man alive. ... I have suffered
here by giving him too much countenance and if any Man has
any advantage by the Palatines it is he."§ However, they con-
tinued on good terms, and after Hunter returned to England he
was still devoted to Livingston and was able to assist him in
many ways in his dealing with the government.
In the assembly Livingston was a faithful supporter of Hunter,
who rewarded him (1715) by a confirmation of Dongan's patent
to the Manor. || The additional privilege was given of sending a
deputy to the general assembly, and in 17 16 Livingston took his
seat in the lower house as the representative of Livingston Manor.
Two years later (17 18) he was elected speaker, and held that
position until 1725, when he resigned on account of old age. The
house desired "that he would nevertheless assist them as often as
his state of health would permit during his stay in town."
Hunter upon leaving recommended Livingston to Burnet, his
successor, as a very useful and capable man in Indian affairs,^
and he became Burnet's right hand man as he had been Hunter's.
Burnet was persuaded by Livingston to recommend the appoint-
ment of his son, Philip, to succeed him as Secretary of Indian
Affairs. The salary had been abolished, but Livingston, without
the knowledge of Burnet, managed to get it restored for his son.**
This made the governor angry, and when later he tried to have

his son-in-law made treasurer of the province, Burnet thought it
was too much, and he expressed his opinion pretty freely con-
cerning "old man Livingston's attempt to provide for his family
at the public expense."*
In 1728 Livingston died. He had founded a strong family
that for a hundred years was a power in New York politics,
usually representing the popular party. He was a man of
pleasant manners and insinuating address, and usually secured
friendship at first acquaintance. Penniless when he came to
Albany, he was soon in possession of small offices that gave him
a steady income in ready money. This he saved and carefully
invested in trade and lands, and was in a few years one of the
wealthiest men of the province. He had a hard struggle against
the exclusive ruling caste, but his fight was half won when he
married into the Schuyler family. In business engagements he
was honest and held faithfully to his agreements, but often his
friends were alienated by his shrewd and sharp schemes for ob-
taining advantages for himself, regardless of others. He
expected others to do as he did — look out for themselves. His
ideas were essentially modern in every respect. In this he was
the type of the future American citizen.

The word illiterate inserted after names in this record indicates that the individuals
signed with an -f--
1792.
In this year the immigration to the Onondaga country took on
still greater strength and the transfers of title by ex-soldiers
living farther east continued to be active. The greater part
of the military lands was by the close of the year in the hands
of speculators and investors who began to make contracts of
sale with actual settlers. The demand for western titles
brought into the market many claims held by heirs of former
soldiers and the number of transfers of this sort during 1792
is very noticeable and is of special interest to geneaolgical
workers.

THE CHURCH OF EAST PHILIPPI.
By Emma J. Foster of Carmel, N. Y.
The history of this old church, the annals of which have just
been published in the Record, runs back to 1743 when Rev
Ehsha Kent was installed the first pastor by the " Fairfield East
Association." At that time the adjoining parishes in the South
Ward of Dutchess Co. (now Putnam Co.), N. Y., since known as
Southeast and Carmel, were distinguished as East and West Phil-
ippi, being situated in the southeast part of the Highland Patent
of the Philipse family.
They afterward bore other names, civil and ecclesiastical, but
these were more often used for many years. These parishes
formed for a time the double charge of Elisha Kent, but after
2 I A The Church of East Philippi. [Oct.,
1750 he confined his labors to the church of East Philippi, where
he resided.
The early settlers of this locality were principally from Cape
Cod, and comprised numerous representatives of the families of
Hall, Crosby, Doane, Paddock and Foster, and those with whom
they intermarried. The pioneers came about 1740 and before
1745 they built a log meeting house about a mile east of Dyke-
man's Station on the Harlem Railroad, but all traces of it have
disappeared, as well as the graves of the early worshippers that
were near by.
Rev. Elisha Kent, who left his charge in Newtown, Conn., be-
cause conscientiously opposed to the existing religious establish-
ment in that colony, purchased a farm of five hundred acres, Aug.
3, 1743, on the "Oblong," adjoining Philippi, and now within the
bounds of Southeast. Mr. Kent was one of the most influential
men of his section, and was repeatedly appointed to perform the
most difficult and important ecclesiastical duties. He continued
pastor at East Philippi until his death, July 17, 1776.
His grave and that of his wife, Abigail Moss, are in the old
Southeast cemetery. He had five children, all of whom settled
near him. Moss Kent, father of Chanceller Kent lived on a farm
adjoining his father's, and the four daughters who married
Charles Cullen, Malcolm Morrison, John Kane and Major Grant,
all lived within a dozen miles of the East Philippi parsonage.
The sons-in-law were royalists and the fortunes of war scattered
the family, whose later members all became prominent in civil,
judicial and scientific circles.
Before 1761 the congregation outgrew the log church and a
frame building was erected about two miles east of the first, and
near the residence of Mr. Kent. The exact date of this second
church edifice is not known, but it was probably about 1754, and
it continued in use until 1794. We find this brief record under
date of March 10, 1784. "It was voted that Theodorus Crosby
sweep the meeting house and see that the doors aie kept shut
for ye space of one year," for which he was to receive thirty
shillings paid quarterly. The next year, "Jeremiah Burgess was
chosen to sweep the meeting house 16 times a year welliox 3 dol-
lars." In 1794 the present church was built two or three rods
south of the site of its immediate predecessor. "It was 6 feet
each way larger" than the old one, being fifty feet long and 38
feet wide, and the original cost was ^744, 13^., 2d. This building
was seriously damaged by fire in 1830 but was repaired on essen-
tially the same plan; later an arched ceiling shut out the old gal-
leries, no longer required for sittings. The pulpit stands between
the entrance doors, and the late comer must face the assembled
congregation as he enters. It stands on a rocky knoll facing
westward, overlooking a wide expanse of farm land, a remote
country church, but one with a rich and inspiring history. From
the very first, its leading members were men of ability and
forceful character, and the influences started here have been
borne to many lands.
It has been a mother of churches, giving thirty-two of its mem-

bers to form what is now the Presbyterian Church of Brewster,
N. Y., and sending a colony to Phelps, N. Y., which organized the
Presbyterian Church there. Fanny Crosby the famous hymn
writer, was born in this little hamlet, and this was her first church
home.
A long succession of godly and able men have filled the pul-
pit of the old church since the days of "Priest Kent," and six of
them rest in the old cemetery near by. The old Sears' Burying
Ground, so called because it lies adjacent to the farm and home-
stead of the late Archibald Sears, was given by Frederick Phil-
ipse for burial purposes. Here lie the early settlers: Crosbys
Sears, Paddocks, Fosters, Bangs, Gage and Halls, all among those
who planted this little colony in "N. Y. Province."
Many of the inscriptions are becoming illegible and the stones
are broken or prostrate. Church and cemetery are in these later
days, suffering from neglect and the inability of the little band
that remain to keep the premises in order and maintain regular
services in the old church.
Rev. Edward Allen, the last pastor, died July 5, 1900 and
since then there have been many to say: "close the church,"
but it would be better that some whose forefathers founded this
rural church, should make it possible that its doors should never
be closed. Some of the old stones are broken, and all are be-
coming defaced by time; it has been only by the most untiring
patience that many of the following inscriptions have been
transcribed:

THE FAMILY OF DUPUIS, DE PUY, DEPEW, ETC.
By Frank J. Conkling, Brooklyn, N. Y.
(Continued from Vol. XXXII., p. 144, of The Record.)
5. A child, (not named), baptismal entry, New York Dutcji
Church, February 14, 1677. Perhaps Maria, who was sponsor
with her father in 1702, about which time she married Abraham
Hendrickse Lent of Tarrytown or thereabouts and had the fol-
lowing children: Aeltje, 1703; Hendrick, 1707; Catharina, 1711;
Abraham, 1712; Geertje, 17 15; Johannes, 1717; Margrietje, 1720;
Sarah, 1722, and Jacob, 1725.
6. Sara, baptised at Flatbush, February 23, 1679. She became
a member of the Tappan Church, April 15, 1702. The same
church records her marriage, April 1704, with Herman Hen-
drickse Blauvelt. Their children were also baptised there as
follows: Marritje, 1704; Frans, 1706; Annetie, 1708; Hendrick,
1710; Johannes, 1714; Abram, 1716; Isaac, 1718, and Maria, 1721.
7. Geertje (Gertrude), baptised at Flatbush, September 18,
1 68 1. No further record.
8. Nicolaes, baptised in New York, October 17, 1686. He
married Barbara , and had a son Willem baptised at Tarry-
town, Mar. 24, 1 7 13, who married Marritje , and had a son
Nickolaas baptised also at Tarrytown, June 12, 1742. The latter
Nicholas is entered among the enlistments of New York, year
1758. He is recorded as aged 16 and born in Westchester County.
No further tracings of this line.
9. Mary, baptised in N. Y. C, March 3, 1689. The record of
the parents is as follows: " Francois Puy and Annie Elsten." No
further record of the child or the mother.
The only sons credibly traced to Francois Dupuis are the three
given, viz: William, John and Nicholas. Unless John married
again', and of this there is no evidence, he is not likely to have s&&
but the one child (Geertje). If Nicholas had other children, the -.
records do not show them. So that to William must be charged j^.
the progenitorship of Senator Depew, and the further evidence
to be offered makes the proposition seem more clear.
Family of William Depew.
1. Sara, born , married, N. Y. C, October 4, 17 14, Willem
Dill, Thiel or Teil. The latter name is probably the nearest cor-
rect. They had children baptised in New York and Tarrytown
as follows: Geertruyd, 17 16; Johannes, 1717; Dorathea, 17 18;
(William DePuw was god-father) and Elisabeth, 1723, (Thomas
DePew and Cornelia his wife were God-parents).
2. Abigael. The following is the only item found of this
probable daughter of Willem: " Pieter Consje and Abigael de-
Pue" had daughter Sara baptised in New York, October 23, 17 17.
The sponsors were " Willem Thiel and Sara dePue."
3. Thomas, born , married Cornelia Lendel. The rec-
ords give them issue as follows: 1. Catharina, bap. N. Y. C,
232 The Family of Dupuis, De Pny, Depew, Etc. [Oct.,
March 15, 17 19, (Sponsors, Hendrick Ryke, Willem Thiel and
Margarietje Brestede). 2. Willem, bap. Tarrytown, April 23,
1723, (Sponsors, Willem Teil and Sara his wife). He married
Rachel, daughter of Elias Concklin (?) and had child, Christina,
bap. Tarrytown, April 20, 1745. 3. Thomas (?) "Tomes DePou
and Jantye Kanckelie" (Jannetje Concklin) had son Jan bap.
Cortlantown, June 23, 1747, born Sept. 9, 1746. 4. Jan,* bap.
Tarrytown, April 17, 1733. Parents as given were, "Tames De-
Peuw and wife Marietje." Question, was this Thomas Depew,
Sr., and his second wife ?
4. Anna, bap. Tarrytown, August 2, 169S. Did she marry
Hendrick Van Ess?
5. Francois, bap. Tarrytown, August 20, 1700. His marriage
in the Tarrytown church, June 3, 1727, is recorded as follows:
"Frans DePew, j. m., en Maritje Van Thessel, j. d." The record
also states that they were both born on the Cortlandt Manor.
He being a resident there, and she a resident of Tarrytown.
Subsequent records blended with traditional accounts of the fam-
ily as given by Colonel Teetor in his article previously referred
to, lends considerable color to the probable descent of Senator
Depew from this couple, and more than likely through the eldest
son, Hendrick. This line will be taken up again presently.
6. Pieter youngest son of William Depew, bap. Tarrytown,
March 28, 1703, married before 1729 Elisabeth Blauvelt of Rock-
land County. They had issue: Abraham, born January 6, 1729
(m. Rachel Blauvelt), Petrus, born December 17, 1732 (m. Annetje
Van Dalse), and Isaac, born March 25, 1740. These were all from
Tappan church baptisms; but there is evidence that the family
afterward settled in Dutchess County. f Abraham had a son,
Petrus, born March 12, 1753, and probably a son Abraham, both
in the Revolutionary War from Dutchess.J Petrus (son of Pieter) ^/
had a son, Petrus, born February 2, 1759, also in the Rev. War
from Dutchess. J
Family of Francois Depew and Maritje Van Thessel.
1. Hendrikus, bap. Tarrytown, April 27, 1728. Of him later.
(Spo. Hendrik Van Texel and Antje do).
2. Anneke, bap. Tarrytown, August 21, 1730.
3. William (?) born 1732. Muster roll of Westchester County
militia, 1758, says: "Born in Cortlandt," "Aged 26." There is no
further record of William.
4. Elisabeth, bap. Tarrytown, April 23, 1734, married October
29, 1758, John Lent.
5. Abraham, bap. Tarrytown, April 10, 1736. Died young.
6. Sara, bap. Tarrytown, April 29, 1738.
7. Abraham, bap. Tarrytown, April 30, 1743. Some of his
children may be found among a list of baptisms given later.
Returning to Hendrick, (son of Francois, of William, of Fran-
* John D Pew, aged 24, born in Westchester, joined militia of that County in 1758. (Re-
port of Historian, N. Y. S. Colonial Series, Vol. I.).
t It would seem that as patriots occupying debatable ground in Rockland County, during
the Revolution, they were forced to move; thus their entry into Dutchess.

igoi.] The Family of Du puis, De Puy, Depew, Etc. 2 33
cois), the only child that the records credit to him is Abraham,
who was baptised at Tarry town, April 5, 1752. The mother's
name was not mentioned. The sponsors were: "Frans Pue and
wife," without doubt the parents of Hendrick. It is fortunate for
this lineage, perhaps, that Abraham received so marked a distinc-
tion as to have had his baptism recorded. The other children of
Hendrick, and it seems evident that he had others, were not so
favored. We have marked Abraham, for Colonel Teetor tells us
that Abraham was the name of the gre&t-grand-father of Chaun-
cey M. Depew, whom he would have descend from Nicholas the
emigrant. To get down a little closer let us quote what the
Colonel says: "Abraham Depew enlisted January 2, 1777, for the
Revolutionary War, in Captain Jacob Wright's Company of the
regiment, commanded by Col. Philip Van Cortlandt. He was
promoted Corporal June i, 1777, and was discharged January 3,
1780, on account of expiration of term of service. He married
Catherine, a daughter of Captain James Kronkite, who was com-
missioned Captain October, 19, 1775, and served in the Third
Regiment, Manor of Cortlandt, commanded by Col. Pierre Van
Cortlandt."
The church baptismal records of Tarrytown and Cortlandt,
furnish very good grounds for confusion among the various
Abrahams Depew. While there is an apparent lack of records in
some directions, there seems to be a perplexing superfluity of
fathers Abraham whose sons and daughters, to straighten out and
place where they belong, would take a man with more wisdom
than Solomon. It is doubtful if Colonel Teetor ever saw these
records, therefore, had no occasion to pick out the family of Abra-
ham the Ancestor of Doctor Depew, and place him genealogical-
ly. This he might have done had he taken the time, and with
close application, but he has done well when he tells us that
"Great-grand-father Abraham" married Catherine, daughter of
Captain James Kronkite. Believing that this is from knowledge
possessed by the family of the Senator, it is highly proper to ac-
cept it, and it enables us to select from the confusion a portion of
the family belonging to this couple, which are found charged to
them among the Cortlandtown records as follows: Esther, Bap.
September 18, 1791; James Kronkright, born August 25, 1791,
bap. 1793; Anne, born September 12, 1794; Elizabeth, bo. Feb. 6,
1796; Henry, born May 18, 1798. It is this latter name, Henry,
that makes the connection with the family of Hendrick reasonably
complete. The name is the same; Henry is Hendrick modern-
ized, and Abraham followed the prevailing custom of the times
in naming a son for his father. This clears away the confusion
to a certain extent among the baptisms mentioned, and which
will be given at the finish of this paper. Whether the Senator
descends from James Krankhite, or Henry or some other son
whom Abraham may have had, the writer will not assume to sug-
gest. The war record of Abraham will stand. Colonel Teetor
very likely consulted the Revolutionary Archives of New York
State for his information. In the same regiment and in the same
company with Abraham, were also John, Francis, Cornelius and
234 The Family of Dupuis, De Puyy Depew, Etc. [Oct.,
Henry Depew. As they are unaccounted for, unless we except
John, may they not be the unrecorded sons of Hendrick, and
thus brothers of Abraham ?

Abraham Depuw and Amy Rehe, child Hester, born March
15, 1802. No sponsors.
From Tarrytown Baptisms.
Frans, Jude and Abraham, children of Abraham Pue and
Sarah Pue. Date of baptism uncertain, but probably during the
year 1784. These would seem to be children of Abraham, son of
Francois. The wife of this Abraham is supposed to have been
Sarah Conklin.
Among the Tarrytown marriages is found the following:
" Elias DePew, j. m., born at Philadelphia and Catharina Storm,
j. d., born at Philipsburg. Both living here." The marriage oc-
curred in 1729. There is some doubt about the birthplace of
Elias. The writer has been unable to place him among any of
the lineages given.

ADDENDA.
Evidence of a traditional character comes to the writer from Mrs. L. E.
Schoonmaker of New York City, a member of the New York Genealogical and
Biographical Society, that Nicholas and Francois Dupuis, the emigrants to
New Amsterdam, were brothers, and as boys or young men were forced to flee
from their homes in Paris in the year 165 1, victims of the religious persecutions
of their time.
This information is important, and the source, to Mrs. Schoonmaker, so
straight, that the writer believes it should be accepted. The authority of Mrs.

Schoonmaker is her great-grand-mother, Maria, widow of Joseph DePuy of
Roches™? Ulster County, Ion of Moses, and he of Nicholas the emigrant.
Mrs. Schoonmaker was fourteen years of age when Mana DePuy died, and has
always taken a great interest genealog.cally in the De Puy family; she has
followed out many lineages from Nicholas through his son Moses, having that
branch pretty well completed. . ,
Her information is that Nicholas and Francois left a home of weal h and
prominence during the night, upon learning through a friend of the family that
hey were to be made prisoners. She has in her possession a History of E ranee,
during the wars of 1648-1654, and a lantern both of which are sa.d to have
been brought to America bv her ancestor Nicholas She also posseses a manu-
script written by Dr. Cornelius E. DePew of New York City, who was drowned
on the coast of South America in 1822. His manuscript is confirmatory in
several important details, naming the year (1651) as the time N1Cholas and
Francois fled from Paris. . . ,. , ,
rif after all, tradition is correct in naming Pans as the probable birthplace
of Nicholas and Francois Dupuis, we may conclude that Arto.s and Cal.as were
rather the homes for a time of these individuals respectfully, and not their
places of birth as the records would imply.] .,,01 1

of the salient points contributed in this paper.
A CONTRIBUTION TO A GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILY
OF JOHN BOOTH, OF SHELTER ISLAND, N. Y.
By Lucy D. Akerly, of Newburgh, N. Y.
Among the early land transactions re-
lating to Shelter Island, we find a deed
delivering the same to Ensign John Booth
and Capt. Nathaniel Sylvester, on the 23d
of Mch., 1652, "according to the English
custom of turf & twig." Some of the
early deeds no longer exist so that it does
not appear why John Booth should have
had a share in the possession of the
Island, since the proprietors then were:
Thomas Middleton, Thomas Rouse, Con-
stant Sylvester, and Capt. Nathaniel Syl-
vester.
In 1656, Thomas Middleton purchased
one quarter of Shelter Island (and also one
quarter of Robins Island), from Thomas
Rouse for John Booth who immediately resold the same to Capt.
Nathaniel Sylvester for ^700 (Southold Town Rec, East Hamp-
ton Town Rec, I., 96, 105. Moore's Hist. Address of 1890, Mall-
man's Hist, of Shelter Island).
We learn from the documents referred to above that John
Booth had been in Barbadoes before he came to L. I. He is
styled in deeds of land, etc., "Master," and "Gentleman," and was
living in Southold as early as the ist Feb., 1656, and is described
as "late of Shelter Island."
Mr. J. Wickham Case mentions that John Booth was the only
236 The Family of John Booth, of Shelter Island, N. Y. [Oct.,
large land owner in the town who omitted to put his house home lot
on record as exacted by the order of 165 1. A list of his lands, how-
ever, made in 1685, will be found in the SontJiold Town Records. He
lived "between Benjamin Youngs, east, and John Herbert, west."
We have no account of the wife of John Booth, and are even
in ignorance as to her name. She and her child are mentioned
on 20 Feb., 1656. There is abundant documentary evidence
of the existence of four Booth sons, but we lack their birth dates,
and the knowledge whether there were any daughters or not.
Some of the Booth children were young in July, 167 1, when they
were refused baptism by the Puritan Minister John Youngs.
John Booth very naturally declined to pay his tax for Youngs'
salary, and his cattle were distrained in consequence. He then
petitioned Governor Lovelace for relief. Although the latter
could not lawfully interfere, he wrote a letter of admonition to
the Rev. John Youngs. {Documentary Hist, of New York, III.,
343, Brodhead's Hist, of the State of New York, II., 174). Evi-
dently John Booth was not of the same "persuasion" as most of
his contemporaries at Southold, it may be that he had leanings
towards the Quakers.
The son of Thomas Rouse had his earn cut off for being a
Quaker, the Sylvesters sheltered Quakers in their island home,
while we find John Booth with John Corey and John Swazey
(both of whom are said to have been Quakers), and several others,
refusing to take the oath of allegiance at New Haven in 1659.
All of them are reported to have taken the cath in 1660. (Nezv
Haven Col. Rec, 1653-61, pp. 285, 351, etc.)
In 1675 John Booth was assessed on ,£147, and in 1683 on j£i$i.
In 1686 his family consisted of 3 males and 2 females. At least
one of his sons was married at that time, and had his separate
household.
John 1 Booth, the elder died intestate, on, or about, the 15 Aug.,
1689. Letters of administration were issued to his eldest son,
Thomas Booth, on 6 Nov., 1691. (Pelletrau's Early L. I. Wills.)

2. Thomas2 Booth (Ensign John1), of Southold, d. Feb., 1706.
He resided on Robins Island Neck which he inherited from his
father. (Deeds of land in Patchogue, Robins Island Neck, etc.,
in 1689.) He was assessed on ^45 in 1683, and in 1686 had 4
males and 2 females in his family. Letters on his estate were
issued to his son and heir, Thos. Booth, Jr., 11 Feb., 1706. (Liber
7, p. 290, N. Y. Wills.)

lot of the latter, and lands between Tom's Creek and the Fresh
meadows, etc. (Southold Town Rec.) "He lived," said Mr. J.
Wickham Case, "in his father's house from 1689 to 17 15, after
which time we have no authentic records, where he went, or
when he died we do not know."

4. Charles2 Booth (Ensign John1), of Southold Town, who re-
ceived on 27 June, 1689, from his father John Booth, according to
the deed as follows: "Half of my upland in Corchaug, half of
my meadow on the south side of Pehcconeck great Bay, or Riv-
er, & one third of my meadow in Corchaug, as it lyeth in com-
mon & partnership between my sons, John, Thomas, & Charles
Booth." (SoutJiold Town Rec., II., 283.)
He also received a deed on 26 Jan., 1692, from Mary, widow of
Benjamin Horton, of land at Southold which had belonged to
her said deceased husband, and of land at Southampton, once the
property of her father, James Hampton, grandfather of her 2d
daughter, wife of Charles Booth. Half of the land could be sold
with the consent of Charles Booth's brother-in-law, Thomas Lup-
ton, of Southampton. (Southold Town Rec., II., 283, 285.*)
* James Hampton, of Southampton (formerly of Salem, Mass.). and his wife Jane, gave a
deed, on 23 Aug., 1671, to their da. Ann, and her husband Benjamin2 Moore (Thos.1), of South-
old, who was b. in 1640, and d. on or about 15 May, i6go. Letters on his estate were issued to
Jeremiah Viele (Vail), who had married the widow of Benjamin Moore. (Southampton Small
Book of Deeds, and Pelletreau's Early L. I. Wills).
James Hampton "very aged and infirm," and his wife Jane, gave a deed on 5 June, 1673, to
John Moppam (Mapham or Mappon), and his wife Mary, theirdaughter, mentioning, but not
naming, John's two oldest daughters. These daughters were Mary Mapham who m. Thomas
Lupton, and Abigail Mapham who m. Charles Booth.
The youngest daughter was probably Jean Mappon, who with Mary Horton, wid., was enum-

5. Capt. William2 Booth (Ensign John1), of Southold Town,
d. 11 Mch., 1722, in his 63d year. He, and his wife and two chil-
dren are buried in the old Orient graveyard.
A bond dated 27 June, 1689, showing that " Thomas and Charles
Booth, of Southold Town were indebted to their father, John
Booth for ^20, was to be null & void if Thomas Booth &
Charles Booth each paid to their brother, William Booth, the sum
of £6, 13s. and \d., as a legacy from their father John Booth, to

EDITORIAL.
With the present number of this magazine is completed the publication of
the Baptismal Records of the Reformed Dutch Church in New York City,
down to the close of the year 1800. A reprint of these records in two volumes
with indexes will soon be published. The first volume, covering the period
from 1639 to 1730, with a complete index of names, is now ready for delivery,
and the second volume will be issued as soon as the index can be prepared and
printed. This publication containing as it does the names and dates of baptism
of all the children, their parents and witnesses, baptised in the Reformed Dutch
Church from its establishment in New York City in 1639, down to and including
the year 1800, forms one of the most complete and valuable genealogical
records ever published. It forms volume II. of the collections of the N. Y.
Genealogical and Biographical Society, volume I. being the Marriage Records
of the same church, and covering the same period. To the careful indexing,
revision and printing of these records the late Dr. Samuel S. Purple devoted
many years of able and painstaking labor, and no better guarantee of their
accuracy could be given. The edition is limited to 100. Copies may be
obtained from the Librarian at the rooms of the Society. Price, $15.00 per
The season of genealogical excursions is over for this year, -and our
enthusiastic friends are already returning to town with scrips full and pencils
worn to the stubb. There are several kinds of these. The clergyman friend
whose interest in the subject probably began in the book of Genesis and grew
under the influence of his profession; the matronly friend who caught the fever
from the emanations of a "Daughter's" badge, and now hunts ramifications;
the juvenile genealogist who returns with a hopeless mass of detail that may
never advance to classification; the professional genealogist whose clients
anxiously await the results of summer excursions. Far and above these stand
this and our kindred society of Boston, the New England Historic-Genealogical;
for it is ours to serve as a guiding hand to all — it is ours to foster the spirit of
genealogical research to appoint beyond the personal, to foster the production of
genealogical literature that shall serve a general purpose. Be it fondly to be
hoped therefore, that these and kindred societies will take up the work of the
coming season with their scrips full and pencils worn to the stubb.

King. — At Woodbrook, New Brighton, Staten Island, N. Y., on Monday,
July 15, 1901, Sarah Chandler Goodhue, wife of Percy Rivington King and only
child of Sarah Chandler (Parker) and the late Charles Clarkson Goodhue. Mrs.
King leaves a son, Charles Goodhue King.
Weeks, John Abeel, a member of this Society for more than thirty years,
died May 23, 190 1, at his residence at Cove Hill, Oyster Bay, L. I., aged eighty-
one years. He was born January 7, 1820, in New York City and was the son of
Robert Doughty Weeks and Julia Hall Brasher, daughter of Gasherie and
Jane (Abeel) Brasher, all of New York City. His father was the first president
of the New York Stock Exchange and was the seventh in descent from Francis
Weekes, one of the earliest settlers of Oyster Bay, L. I.
He graduated from the New York University in 1839, and studied law with
' Judge George W. Strong of New York City. After being admitted to the bar
he formed a partnership with Henry G. De Forest and opened a law office at
58 Wall St., then a dwelling house and subsequently one of the most famous
office buildings in the city. Here he had his office for more than forty years.
He made a specialty of real estate and gained a reputation for ability and
acquaintance with old New York property. One of his own real estate hold-
ings, which he early acquired and kept as long as he lived, was the old Claren-
246

don Hotel, once the most fashionable hotel in the city. He gained wealth as
well as reputation, but his principles were such that he refused to profit by the
opportunity afforded him by the panic of 1873, °f becoming one of New York's
richest citizens. During this panic when securities were offered for almost
nothing, he freely loaned his friends over $150,000, demanding only the usual
rate for it, and thus saved them from ruin. It was estimated that this amount
invested at the time in securities would have resulted in his making several
millions of dollars.
He was one of the founders of the Union League Club, and one of its most
zealous and honored members. With Le Grand Cannon and a few others he
raised the first negro regiment in the State of New York, and he was appointed
by the Union League to represent it at the funeral of Abraham Lincoln. He
was a member of the New York Historical Society and at one time was at the
head of its executive committee. It was through his exertions that this society
secured the Durr collection of Dutch paintings, one of the most valuable of its
possessions. He was also prominently connected with the charities of the city.
He was the president of the House of Refuge for many years, and the work
which he performed in the interest of this institution entitles him to a place
among the city's philanthropists. He was elected a member of this society,
Dec. 10, 1870.
He retired from the practice of his profession in 1880, to the old homestead
at Cove Hill, Oyster Bay, built in 1809, near the site of the original homestead
of his ancestor. Here he resided until his death in the enjoyment of his well
earned leisure, and the friendship of such men as Wm. M. Evarts and Wm.
Cullen Bryant with whom he was particularly intimate.
Mr. Weeks was married January 10, 1849, at New Bedford, Mass., to Alice
Hathaway Delano, who survives him. She was born November 29, 1827, in New
Bedford and was the daughter of Joseph Clement Delano and Alice Howland,
daughter of Weston Howland, all of New Bedford, Mass. He leaves four sons
and two daughters, all born in New York City: Arthur Delano, Henry de
Forest, Frederick Delano, John Abeel, Jr., Alice Delano and Sarah Carnes
who married June 3, 1893, Francis Laurens Vinton Hoppin.

The British Museum has a quarto tract entitled "A sermon preached at
the funeral of John Molford, Esquire, of Nymet Episcopi, in the Diocese of
Exeter, who died (aged 18 years), the 21st day of June, and was buried at South
Molton the 27th day of the same month. By Thomas Easton, A. M., Vicar of
Nymet Episcopi." There is a large house in South Street, South Molton, known
as Mulford House, now, October 3, 1900, occupied by a medical man. It form-
erly belonged to the Rev. J. Bawden. The Bishop Nympton registers can
probably supply further information. stuart c. wade,

REPLY.
F. C. C. — Referring to your query in the July, 1899, Record, relating to
the New Jersey Livingstons, the following information regarding Neil Living-
ston may be acceptable. My aunt has spoken of him as a Scotchman but she
may have been mistaken. I know, however, that he married Hannah Howell,
born Feb., 1713-14, died 1798, daughter of Daniel Howell and Mary Beaher.
There were no children. In her old age she made her home in Trenton with
her nephew Ellett Howell, who was my great-grand-father. A few silvei
spoons of hers and a table believed to have been hers, descended in the family.
We also have a parchment slip, a subpoena issued in the 5th year of George
III., to Neil Livingston, as witness in a trespass and ejectment suit before the
Supreme Court at Burlington. I shall be glad of any information you may
receive from other sources. miss e. c. tenbrook,

BOOK NOTICES.
Bailey Genealogy. James, John and Thomas, and their De-
scendants. In three parts. Edited by Hollis R. Bailey, Somerville, Mass.
The Citizen Company, 1899. 8vo, cloth, pp. vi-479.
This volume of Bailey genealogy was published by direction of the Bailey
(Bayley) Family Association. Its three parts treat respectively of James
Bailey of Rowley, John of Salisbury and Thomas of Weymouth, the three

original settlers, and their descendants. These branches of the family have
never before been printed. The arrangement is excellent, the subject matter
being confined mostly to genealogical compilation, without the usual concom-
mitant of fullsome biography. Of 295 copies originally printed, about 220 have
been disposed of; the balance are for sale at $2.50 per copy and may be had of
Mr. Hollis R. Bailey, 53 State St., Boston, Mass., Room 905. Mr. Bailey who
is Secretary of the Family Association has compiled a careful, well indexed
volume, attractive in its mechanical construction, and his labors have been
assisted by Mrs. Gertrude E. Bailey and Mrs. Abbie F. Ellsworth, the former
of whom compiled the index. We note with particular pleasure the system of
typography which is so clear and methodical that it leaves no room for con-
fusion. The seven reports of the annual gatherings from 1894 to 1900 inclus-
ive, contain much valuable matter and are on sale at 50c. each, except 1894,
which is 25 cents.
The Sharpes. 8vo, cloth, pp. 212.
Mr. W. C. Sharpe of Seymour, Conn., has been conducting this valuable
serial on the Sharpe Family since January 1893. The papers of about 4 pages
each are published monthly and contain information supplemental to that pub-
lished in 1880 by the same author. The present volume contains the papers
from Jan., 1893, to Oct., 1896 inclusive, neatly bound in cloth.
Register of Old Suffolk Chapter, Sons of the American Rev-
olution, 1900. Chelsea, Revere and Winthrop, Mass. Printed for the Chap-
ter (Boston 1901). 8vo, pp. 106, 111.
Although this volume is primarily a regulation register and year book of
the Society, it contains an interesting address on the battle of Chelsea, May 27,
1775, and is so marked on the cover. The battle of Chelsea has been passed
over by historians, mainly, as Mr. Bosson says in his address before the Society,
because of their partisan prejudices and the cause of the battle itself, namely,
jealousy between the field officers. It was not however without importance,
for Col. Putman, John Stark and Dr. Warren took part in the engagement and
it resulted in the capture of four cannons, twelve swivels, and clothing and
money belonging to a British schooner.
Nova Scotia Archives, Vol. II. A Calendar of two Letter-
Books and one Commission-Book in the Possession of the Govern-
ment of Nova Scotia, 1713-1741. Edited by Archibald M. Macmeachan,
Halifax, N. S., 1900. 8vo, pp. 270.
These documents, here published by authority of the Legislative Assembly,
relate to the administration of government during Walpole's long peace, and
illustrate the experiment of governing a French population by English ideas.
The manuscripts are part of a large collection relative to the history of Nova
Scotia which was gathered, arranged, indexed, bound and catalogued by the
late Thomas Beamish Atkins, Commissioner of Public Records. They num-
ber over 535 volumes besides nine boxes of unbound papers, all preserved in
the Province Building at Halifax.
New Ipswich in the War of the Rebellion, What its Men and
Women did. By Mrs. L. A. Obear, New Ipswich, N. H., 1898. 12 mo, cloth,
pp.71.
Mrs. Obear writes us in sending this little book, " Had I realized that this
volume, written to perpetuate the memory of the deeds done by the men and
women of this little town, in the war for Freedom and for the Union, was also
a record of what was done by many another town all over New England, I
might and should have taken time and pains to make it better worth preserving
as history." In reply we have to say that what is well done, be it large or
small is worth preserving as history. Mrs. Obear has given a brief and inter-
esting account of her subject and closes the book with a list of her townsmen
who served as far as their names could be obtained.

' Authors and Writers associated with Morristown, with a Chap-
ter on Historic Morristown. By Julia Reese Colles, iSoS. Voet Bros
Morristown, N. J. Svo, pp. 407. 111.
This excellent work has reached its second edition, the first having been
published in 1893. Usually such books have only a local interest and lack
more or less true literary finish. Not so however with Mrs. Colles' work. It is
a story of a section rich in associations of distinguished names in the annals
of literature, history and art; it is a story of a town that has a charm all its own,
"the most beautiful within a hundred miles of New York" as Dr. Theo. L.
Cuyler has said: it is a story handled skillfully, attractively and with a breadth
that gives it a general and well merited value.
Beckwith Notes. With some Account of Allied Families. Nos.
2 and 3. 8vo, pamphlets, 1899, 1901.
Marvin Beckwith and his Wife Abigail Clark, their Colonial
Ancestors and their Descendants. Svo, pamphlets, 1899.
The latter of these constitutes number one of this series of pamphlets on
the Beckwith family, compiled by A. C. and E. S. Beckwith of Elkhorn, Wis-
consin. There is no particular limit set for the series. Marvin Beckwith was
of Southmgton, Ct., and the work of publishing the pamphlet bearing his name
was the outcome of a search for his parentage, which resulted in proving him
third in descent from Matthew Beckwith of Old Lyme, son of Matthew who
came over about 1645, and settled first in Hartford. Nos. 2 and 3 relate to
other descendants of Matthew Beckwith not in Marvin's line. It is estimated
that a full " muster roll" should include 7,000 names of which nearly 4,000 are
still unknown.
History of the Old Argilla Road, in Ipswich, Mass. By Thomas
Franklin Waters. Publications of the Ipswich Historical Society, No. q
Salem, 1900. 8vo, pamphlet, pp. 43.
This pamphlet is published in order to record the list of land holders along
the Old Argilla Road, and also to give brief sketches of the proprietors them-
selves. Numerous foot notes, referring to the five volumes of Ipswich Deeds
now deposited in the Registry of Deeds at Salem, afford opportunity and guid-
ance to those who desire to make more extensive research in the matter.
The Hotel Cluny of a New England Village, by Silvester
Baxter, and An Old Ipswich House, by W. H. Downes. Salem, Mass
1901. 8vo, pamphlet, pp. 53.
These papers constitute No. 10, of the publications of the Ipswich Histor-
ical Society, and give a most interesting account of the historic house now occu-
pied by the Society itself. It is said to be the most pronounced specimen of
colonial architecture and has been preserved exactly as it was in early times
It belonged originally to John Whipple and was built about 1650. The Ips-
wich Historical Society is indeed fortunate in being able to house itself amid
such historic environment.
Genealogical Notes on the Families of Daniel Lane, 2d, and
Mary Griswold Lane, of Killingworth and Wolcott, <to Connec-
ticut. Compiled by four of their descendants. Elkhorn, Wisconsm; 1800
8vo, pamphlet, pp. 64.
Mr. A. C. Beckwith, who was instrumental in getting out the Beckwith
Notes, has also assisted in the publication of this pamphlet, which is intended
to correct errors regarding the Lanes of Wolcott, Ct., which have appeared in
Rev. Sam'l Orcutt's History of that town, and in Rev. James H. Fitts' "Lane
Genealogies." Its corrections are based on "conflict of authorities" relative
more particularly to the early generations of a few allied families.
K A History of Adams County, Ohio, from its Earliest Settle-
ment to the Present Time, including Character Sketches of the
250 Book Notices. [Oct.,
Prominent Persons identified with the First Century of the
Country's Growth, and containing numerous Engravings and Illus-
trations. By Nelson W. Evans and Emmons B. Stivers. West Union, Ohio.
Pub. by E. B. Stivers, 1900. Imperial Octavo, sheep, pp. viii-946.
This history of Adams County, Ohio, is far beyond the usual, conventional,
machine-made county history, and deserves a prominent place in the historical
literature of this country. While it is apparently limited in title, yet in fact it
is largely a history of Southern Ohio. The county originally bordered on the
Ohio, from Ripley, O., to Ashland, Ky., and extended the same width north to
include Franklin County, occupying what is now fourteen or more counties.
Adams was the fourth county organized and the third settled. Within its con-
fines lies the Great Serpent Mound that has been such a source of interest; and
that with other natural curiosities make the articles of this book on the geology
and mineralogy of the county among its most interesting chapters. The work
gives full accounts of the Indians, the settlements and lives of the Pioneers, of
the Territorial Courts and those later, sketches of the Judges and members of
the Bar, members of the Legislature and Congress. It gives revolutionary
records and records of the Civil War, with an account of the Morgan Rebel
Raid and the Cholera Scourges of 1835, 49> and '51- The operation of the
underground railroad is fully described, and then follows township histories,
prepared by Hon. E. B. Stivers. The Pioneer sketches were prepared by Mr.
Evans of Portsmouth, Ohio, and form the great feature of the book. The
edition is limited to 500 copies, of which there are now less than 100 for sale.
The price is $10 per copy, and may be had of Mr. Nelson W. Evans, 135 W.
Second St., Portsmouth, Ohio.
Homes of the Massachusetts Amcestors of Major-General
Joseph Hooker. By Isaac P. Gragg, Brevet-Captain, U. S. Vols. Copy-
right 1900, by Isaac P. Gragg, Boston, Mass. 8vo, pp. 24, 111.
The ancestors of "Fighting Joe" Hooker, according to this volume, were
located in Wenham, Littleton, Westford, Greenwich and Hadley; and to the
memory of their illustrious descendant, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is
about to erect an equestrian statue on the grounds of the State House. Gen.
Hooker was born in Hadley in 1814, in a house that was "located on that grand
and ancient main avenue of Old Hadley named West Street." The book is
artistically gotten up, nicely printed on good paper, and is profusely illustrated.
Copies are obtainable of Isaac P. Gragg, No. 53 State St., Boston, Mass.
Ancestry and Descendants of Sylvanus Eaton, Jacob Swetland
and Christopher Reynolds. Compiled by Mrs. Jane Adaline (Eaton)
Wight, Springfield, Mass., 1900. 8vo, pamphlet, pp. 69.
The title of this work explains its scope, and is put forth as a stimulus to
someone to compile a more extended genealogy of the Eaton family.
Civil and Military List of Rhode Island, 1647-1800. A List of
all Officers elected by the General Assembly, from the Organi-
zation of the Legislative Government of the Colony to 1800. Com-
piled from the records by Joseph Jencks Smith, Providence, R. I. Preston &
Rounds Co., 1900. Small quarto, cloth, pp. viL-659.
The compilation gives a list of all officers, civil and military, appointed by
the General Assembly from the organization of the Colony under the first
Charter in 1647 down to 1800, including all the Judicial Officers, Clerks of
Courts, Sheriffs of Counties, Justices of the Peace, Conservators of the Peace,
Colonial Agents, commissioners for various purposes, and hundreds of minor
officers, even ferrymen. The lists of military officers show the gradual develop-
ment of the militia system of the Colony, the officers of the Island and of the
Main during the Indian and Colonial wars, the officers during the Revolutionary
war, not only those of the regular brigades, but of the troops hastily raised on
occasions of alarms, and for guard duty. Also the officers of the independent
chartered companies, as the Providence Grenadiers, North Providence Rangers,
Scituate Hunters, Kingston Reds, Cranston Blues, Captain General's Cavaliers,

Smithfield Federal Protectors, and many others. It includes over fifty
thousand names, and cannot fail to prove of great value alike to those interested
in genealogy and in the study of our colonial institutions. The price is $7.50
net, and may be had of Preston & Rounds Company, 98 Westminster Street,
Providence, R. I. A second volume will shortly be issued, giving all the
officers of the Continental service from 1800 to 1850, whose appointments were
made by officers in the field or by the Continental Congress, also all officers in
the regular army or navy, 1789 to 1850, as well as those engaged in the War of
1812 and in the Mexican War. Of special importance in the forthcoming
volume will be the list of officers on vessels from Rhode Island engaged in
privateer service during Colonial, Revolutionary, and the War of 1812, with
full statistics regarding them.
The Hamlin Family. A Genealogy of Capt. Giles Hamlin of
Middleton, Conn., 1654-1900. By Hon. H. Franklin Andrews. Pub. by the
author, Exira, Iowa, 1900. Imperial Octavo, cloth, pp. 479.
In the January, 1899, issue of this periodical we reviewed a 130 page
pamphlet on this same family by the same author. It was published as part
one of a larger work intended to be issued serially. The present work covers
a different ground, giving the descendants of Capt. Giles Hamlin, who settled
in Middleton, Conn., about 1754. At the time the above mentioned pamphlet
was published, Mr. Andrews announced that he had over 7&00 pages of manu-
script relating to the descendants of James Hamblen, who settled at Barnstable,
Mass., and over 1,000 pages of manuscript giving descendants of Giles Hamlin,'
besides oyer 1,000 pages of records of other Hamlin families. We believe it is
his intention to continue the first in pamphlet parts, the second, we have before
us in splendid book form, and we shall hope to see the third later. The volume
shows careful research and painstaking labor, both absolutely assured by a
glance at the very full index. Copies may be had of the author at Exira,
Iowa, who also is publisher of the Andreus Family, $2.50, and the Hamlin
pamphlet, $2.00.
A Genealogical History of the Chappell, Dickie, and other
kindred Families of Virginia, 1635-1900. Compiled by Phil. E. Chappell.
Revised edition, 1900, Kansas City, Mo. Hudson-Kimberly Print. Co., iqoo
8vo, cloth, pp. 382, 111. v
The manuscript of this genealogy was first turned over to the printer in
1895, and shortly after appeared the first edition. The compiler says he thought
at that time that the work was forever done, though he was well aware of its
incompleteness. With the distribution of that edition, however, came volumes
of additional information, the discovery of lost tribes, an added sense of duty—
and now a revised edition. Its pages are the result of five years of painstaking
research added to the original years of labor in producing the first edition, and
are nearly double the quantity of the original volume. No attempt has been
made to trace the family in England, for the compiler has "confined himself to
a new family in a new world, and to tracing down its descendants, rather than
treat of an old family in an old world, and trace back its ancestors." Its
contents give origin of the family and name; first settlement in Virginia; the
families of Bennett, Chappell, George, Andrew, John, and Capt. John, Thomas,
Thomas the second, Samuel, Christopher and Robert; the Edgefield branch of
South Carolina, the Georgia branch, the Rough Creek branch, the Chappells of
Ohio and Indiana, the Richland branch of South Carolina, the Texas branch,
and the Tennessee branch. In addition the volume gives full information of
the allied families of Dickie, Wade, Compton, Pate, Yarlington and Adams.
The volume is an excellent one, well printed and neatly bound; it leaves little
room for criticism, except that it lacks an index. Copies may be obtained by
addressing the compiler at Kansas City, Mo.
Archives of Maryland. Muster Rolls and other Records of
Service of Maryland Troops in the American Revolution, 1775-1783
Baltimore, 1900. Small quarto, cloth, pp. 736.
2C2 Book Notices [Oct.,
This most valuable contribution to the early annals of Maryland was pub-
lished by authority of the State, under direction of the Maryland Historical
Society, and forms volume XVIII. of the State Archives. The publication was
first undertaken in 1897, from papers found in the possession of John Hopkins
University, and was continued by the aid of other manuscript sources which
appeared from time to time. The accuracy and honesty of the work are attested
by the assistance rendered by persons and societies of the State who are specially
interested in such productions. The volume contains early and independent
companies; Flying Camp papers; Musters of Maryland Troops, 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th,
5th, 6th, 7th, Rawhiegs' Regts., and the German Regt.; Miscellaneous Mary-
land Line papers; Muster and Pay Rolls, 1780-3, 1786; Artillery Rolls; Lee's
Dragoons, Pulaski's and Armand's Legions; Miscellaneous Naval Rolls;
Escaped and Exchanged Prisoners; Return of Invalids; appendix and an
index of 74 pages, 4 columns to the page.

A Memorial of the Town of Hampstead, New Hampshire. Illus-
trated. Compiled by Harriette Eliza Noyes, Boston, Mass. Geo. B. Reed,
1899. 8vo, cloth, pp. xi-468.
Miss Noyes was Historian of the One Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary
of the Town's Incorporation, July 4th, 1899, and for her efforts at that time won
much praise and admiration. In this volume she has presented a local history
well supported by existing authorities, and the story is told without vainglorious
attempts at rhetoric, simply a narration of facts. The work is commendable
for its authenticity, and its contents are as follows: Various petitions relative to
the Town's incorporation, charter and annals concerning the "old meeting
house;" historical sketch of the town by Rev. John Kelly, 44 years minister in
the town; full proceedings of the centennial celebration, July 4, 1849, w'tn
addresses; full proceedings of the 150th anniversary of the town's incorporation,
July 4, 1899; chapter descriptive of Hampstead, England; educational work in
Hampstead, including list of natives of the town graduating from college and
elsewhere; religious work in town, from the pioneers to 1900, various church
societies, other denominations; the military, giving names and interesting facts
of Hampstead, men who have served in the Colonial, Revolutionary, and later
wars, to the Spanish-American, the diary of Captain John Calef, kept at
Ticonderoga in 1777, etc.; cemetery inscriptions from ten cemeteries in town;
historical and genealogical notes, parental tributes, and many interesting facts
pertaining to the families of the town; list of town officers for 150 years, to
1900, births, marriages and publishments as recorded on the first book of records,
about 1800; descriptive map of the town and general index. Copies, costing
S3.00, may be had of the author, Westville, N. H.
A History and Genealogical Record of the Alling-Allens of
New Haven, Conn., the Descendants of Roger Alling, First, and

P. Allen, New Haven, Conn. Price, Lee & Adkins Co., 1899. 8vo, cloth,
PP-3I7-
Mr. Allen has been engaged for several years in the compilation of this
work, and though he does not claim that its pages contain a complete genealogy
I9OI-l Book Notices. 2KT.
of the descendants of Roger and John Ailing, yet he has gathered a mass of
material containing thousands of names. The work, as is usual in genealogies,
gives the personal history of the early generations, and carries their descendants
to the present time by a system of notation that is clear, concise, and readily
followed. There are about twenty half tone portraits, and the mechanical
construction of the work is well done, the whole closing with copious indexes.
The cost of the book is $3.00 per copy, and may be had of the compiler at
North Woodbury, Conn., or of the publishers.
Descendants of Elisha Ware, of Wrentham, Mass., to Tan est
1896. 8vo, cloth, ob.
The compilation of this little work began about 1883, and is arranged here
in chart form with illustrations and descriptive matter appended. The first
four generations have been taken by permission from The Descendants of
Robert Ware, by Miss Emma F. Ware. Elisha was of the fourth generation,
and the second chart gives his descendants to the ninth generation. The book
has never been sold but is supplied gratis by Mr. F. W. Mann of Milford,
Mass., the compiler, who does so to those interested. He assures us that it was
compiled "with more than usual care and accuracy," and says that the illus-
trations are from photographs taken by himself. The last page but one con-
tains numerous fac-similies of signatures.
History of Belfast, Maine, to 1825. By Dr. Herman Abbott. With
an Introduction and Notes by Joseph Williamson, Belfast. Miss Grace E.
Burgess, 1900. 8vo, pamphlet, pp. 18.
The title explains the work. It was reprinted from the Republican Journal
(\ZruU' 25, Feb- l' 8 and I5, l9°0' and is Printed- not published, for Mr. Joseph
\\ llhamson of Belfast. It is an interesting pamphlet and closes with quite
some vital statistics.
Ezra Bellows of Lunenburg, Mass., and Springfield, Vt.. and his
Descendants. By Thomas Bellows Peck, 1901. 8vo, pamphlet, pp. 14.
These pages are published as supplementary to the sketch on page 609 of
the BelloTvs Genealogy, 1898, by "Mr. Peck, and are here reprinted from the
Genealogical Quarterly Magazine.
The Gorham Family in Rhode Island. Notes on the Providence Line
by Georgiana Guild. Bristol Branch by Henry S. Gorham, Boston. David
Clapp & Son, 1900. 8vo, pamphlet, pp. 11.
These statistics were originally compiled to correct some errors already
published, and have been enlarged to include the Bristol Branch. These pa^es
were reprinted from the New England Register for April, 1900.
Report on Canadian Archives. By Douglas Brymner, 1900. Printed
by order of Parliament, Ottawa, 1901. 8vo, paper, pp. 540.
Mr. Brymner has devoted many years to this work, and has done much to
preserve the annals of our hyperborean neighbor. The present volume con-
tains statistics on education, emigration, State papers of Upper and Lower
Canada, 1832-1835. The whole is an appendix to the report of the Minister of
Agriculture.
The Bennett, Bently and Beers Families. By S. B. Bennett of
Pittston, Pa. (1899). 8vo, pamphlet, pp. 50.
These three families converge in the compiler, and so his original intention
to give only the Bennetts grew threefold. Mr. Bennett gives this little pamphlet
to the genealogical world as the result of labor conducted during the intervals
of a busy life, and regrets that time and opportunity have not afforded him
more. The immigrant ancestor was from Wiltshire, where the seat of the
Bennetts is at Pitthouse; just before the Revolutionary War, the family re-
moved to the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania, where their history became
254 Book Notices. [Oct.,
interwoven with the stirring events of that locality. Mr. Bennett tells his
story with a style that is most entertaining and likewise profitable.
The Macdonough-Hackstaff Ancestry. By Rodney Macdonough,
Boston, 1901. 8vo, cloth, pp. viii.~526.
This handsome, illustrated work has just been issued from the press of
Samuel Usher, Boston. The volume consists of a series of fifty-five articles on
the writer's ancestors from the time of their arrival in this country to the
present day. An article has been written on each male ancestor in which, in
addition to what is known of his wife, is contained all the information obtain-
able as to his birth, marriage and death; where he lived; purchase and sale of
property; civil offices held; naval and military service; children; and such
events and particulars in his life as would be interesting to his descendants.
Although the volume is printed for private distribution, it contains much that
will be of interest to genealogists in the shape of wills, inventories, extracts
from and illustrations of original records, etc. The articles include the families
of Barker, Bigg, Burrowes, Coit, Cole, Denning, Garr, Griggs, Hackstaff,
Hallock, Hawxhurst, Hopkins, Laroux, Macdonough, Morrell, Mould, Pratt,
Priest, Reddocke, Shaler, Sinclair, Spencer, Stocking, Stow, Swazy, Townsend,
Vance, Williams. But three or four of the twenty wills and eighteen inventories
here given have ever been printed before. The illustrations include numerous
ancient documents of much interest and value. There is a full set of ancestral
charts and a complete index of persons and places. Probably the most
valuable portion of the work, historically, is that devoted to Commodore
Thomas Macdonough, U. S. N., the writer's grandfather. This article con-
tains the greater part of an autobiography left by the Commodore which has
never been made public. The article is preceded by a full page half-tone
reproduction of the Stuart portrait of Commodore Macdonough, and also
contains half-tone, full page illustrations of the battle on Lake Champlain,
September 11, 1814, the autograph dispatch from the Commodore to the Secre-
tary of the Navy announcing the result of the engagement, and the obverse
and reverse of the gold medal granted by Congress. A limited edition of 300
copies, printed from type on high grade paper, wide margin and uncut; bound
in linen; $5.00 a copy. After January 1, 1902, $7.50 a copy. Order from
Rodney Macdonough, 205 Washington Street, Boston, Mass.
Historic Duxbury in Plymouth County, Massachusetts. By
Laurence Bradford, Boston. The Fish Printing Company, iooo. 8vo, cloth,
pp. 128, 111.
The object of this book is to give a brief sketch of the town of Duxbury,
mostly for the tourist and summer visitor. Mr. Bradford has derived his infor-
mation mostly from the long residence of his family in the town, and from his
acquaintance with the last generation of the town's inhabitants. The volume
contains chapters on the early settlement and settlers, Capt. Myles Standish,
Elder William Brewster, John Alden, the Standish monument, old burial
places, ship building, roads, maps, old houses, antiquaries, Kingston and Green
Harbor, the French cable, 250th anniversary, and the clam industry. It is an
historic old town, whose early days partook of the romance of the "Plimouth
Plantation," and to its memory poets, orators and historians have contributed
some of their best efforts. Copies of the book may be had of the author at
Millbrook, Mass.
Early Records of Baptisms, Marriages, Deaths, and Member-
ship of the Congregational Church, East Hampton (Chatam), Conn.
Middletown, Conn. Pelton & King, 1900. 8vo, pamphlet, pp. 150.
The above title explains the scope of this work. The records are copied
from a diary kept by the Rev. Mr. John Norton, pastor of the church from 1748
to 1778, which copy was made by Mr. Martin L. Roberts from the original now
in possession of a Dr. Cornwell of Brooklyn, N. Y. It is composed of small
sheets of writing paper sewed together, and covers the period from April 18,
1764, to March 24, 1772. The remaining records of his pastorate are supposed
to have been destroyed.

The Descendants of William Towne, who came to America on
or about 1630, and settled in Salem, Mass. Compiled by Edwin Eugene
Towne, Newtonville, Mass. Published by the author, 1901. 8vo, cloth, pp.
372, 111.
Another excellently compiled genealogy. They come upon us thick and
fast, and at the present rate there will be left in a short time few families that
have not been "written up." The present volume is conducted on the Record
and Register plan, and the typography and press work are fine. The historical
and genealogical records have been obtained from the usual sources of town,
church and court records, and also from those collected by the late William B.
Towne, who published in the New England Register, some years ago, an
article on the origin of the name in England. The present work reprints that
article, and gives reprints of wills, the genealogy of the family for ten gener-
ations, records of southern families, miscellaneous branches, historical notes,
and seven indexes most carefully prepared. The volume is embellished with
thirty-six portraits, and is a model of genealogical compilation.
New York State Library Bulletins, No. 53, Dec, 1900; No. 56,
Feb., igor. Compiled by Charles A. Flagg. L. 8vo, paper, pp. 175-283,
28g-558.
The first of these is a bibliography of Connecticut Local History compiled
from materials in the New York State Library, and gives the dates of incorpor-
ation of each town. The arrangement is by counties, first, then alphabetically
by towns. Works relating to the State at large are grouped at the beginning.
The second is a bibliography of New York Colonial History from its discovery
to 1776, confined to the territory within the present limits of the State. In
addition to the citation of works indicated by the title, there are indexes and
calendars of manuscripts, many church histories, and reprints of the city
charters and legislative journals. Both works are invaluable contributions to
the reference shelf.
^V Atwater History and Genealogy. Compiled by Francis Atwater,
Meriden, Conn. The Journal Publishing Co., igoi. 8vo, cloth, pp. 4g2, 111.
In the "wee sma'" hours the compiler of this genealogy has poured over
the notes accumulated, and now in the light of day comes forth a volume most
creditable in its result, another bright and shining example of a labor of love.
After a sketch of the family in England, it proceeds to an account of the family
in America, from the two sons of John Atwater of Boyton, England, namely
Joshua and David, who came to this country and settled in New Haven about
1638. The second part of the work gives the descendants of David in genea-
logical notation. The work concludes with a monumental index covering
forty-three pages, three columns to the page. The compiler hopes that persons
interested in the family will criticise and correct his work, and announces that
pages will be printed from time to time to keep it up to date.

The object of this Society is the discovery, procuring, preservation and
perpetuation of whatever may relate to American Genealogy, Biography and
Local History; and it aims to cover the field of genealogical and biographical
research more thoroughly than has been done by the public libraries or societies
devoted to one particular locality or period.
The Society was founded and incorporated in 1869. For nearly twenty
years it occupied modest quarters in Mott Memorial Hall, No. 64 Madison
Avenue. In October, 1888, rooms were secured in the Berkeley Lyceum, No.
2j West 44th Street, where the Society remained until May, 1896, when the
present building was purchased through the generous bequest of Mrs. Eliza-
beth Underhill Coles and the substantial assistance of some of the members.
The Society building, No. 226 West 58th Street, is a handsome five-story
structure, with an attractive entrance, and, having lately undergone extensive
alterations and repairs, is admirably suited to the uses of the Society. It
contains a lecture hall handsomely decorated and well lighted, heated and
ventilated, with a seating capacity of one hundred and seventy-five persons;
a tire-proof library specially constructed with a view to safety, light, quiet and
convenience, and an attractive room for general Society purposes open to
members and their friends.
The Society has, by careful and capable management, steadily improved.,
and has at present assets amounting to nearly $50,000.00, and a good income
from dues and rentals ; it is under the management of a Board of Trustees
elected by the members for alternating periods of three years.
The membership of the Society, comprising a large number of our best
known and prominent citizens, is made up of Annual, Life and Honorary Mem-
bers. Annual Members pay an entrance fee of $10.00, and the sum of $5.00 per
year dues. Life Members pay $50.00 in lieu of all dues and fees.
Persons desirous of becoming members of the Society may address the
Executive Committee. Members have the right of introducing visitors to the
rooms and to the privileges of the Society.
The Library has upon its shelves over five thousand volumes of Geneal-
ogy, Biography and Local History, and nearly thrice that number of pamphlets
and unbound books on these subjects, as well as many manuscripts of value.
It is open to members and visitors from 10 A. M. to 6 p. M. on week days and
holidays, and from 8 to 10 P. M. on Mondays, except during the months of
August and September. In this room— the very heart of the Society— will be
found that atmosphere of scholastic quiet and ready service so grateful to the
student.
Regular Meetings of the Society, at which addresses of historical interest
are delivered, are held on the second Friday evening of each month, except
June, July, August and September.
The Society has progressed steadily in its particular sphere, and has been
the means of awakening interest in many persons heretofore ignorant of or
indifferent to their ancestral history; during the past decade this interest has
greatly increased, and has resulted in bringing to light and preservation many
records of value. Beginners in the Genealogical field will find that the Society
with its collections, its "Record," and the accumulated experience of its mem-
bers, offers advantages indispensable to their work.
"Those who do not treasure up the memory of their ancestors do not deserve
to be remembered by posterity" -Edmund Burke.

MONUMENTAL WORK
To those who have not erected Monuments
this fall season, we would advocate the dis-
cussion of such work in advance of the spring,
so that the execution of the Monument can be
carried out during the winter months, and thus
be ready for erection at the earliest date in the
Spring.
Send for Photographs of recently completed
commissions.

MEMORIAL RECORDS
The placing on the walls of our Civic, Religious and Serai-Public
Buildings, the records of the purpose of the buildings, of Bequests if
any, and the Donors to whom the Institutions are indebted, is becoming
more and more recognized.
In the illustration of the "FLOWER"
Tablet, in Trinity Church, Watertown, N. Y.,
erected by the late Gov. Flower and his
brother, Anson R. Flower, an extract from
the deed of gift is included in the inscription,
thus bringing directly before the observer,
the information in regard to the building
in which the tablet is erected.
We have designed and executed more
work of similar character than any firm in
the United States.
Correspondence solicited for such Me-
morials.

The object of this Society is the discovery, procuring, preservation and
perpetuation of whatever may relate to American Genealogy, Biography and
Local History; and it aims to cover the field of genealogical and biographical
research more thoroughly than has been done by the public libraries or societies
devoted to one particular locality or period.
The Society was founded and incorporated in 1869. For nearly twenty
years it occupied modest quarters in Mott Memorial Hall, No. 64 Madison
Avenue. In October, 1888, rooms were secured in the Berkeley Lyceum, No.
23 West 44th Street, where the Society remained until May, 1896, when the
present building was purchased through the generous bequest of Mrs. Eliza-
beth Underhill Coles and the substantial assistance of some of the members.
The Society building, No. 226 West 58th Street, is a handsome five-story
structure, with an attractive entrance, and, having lately undergone extensive
alterations and repairs, is admirably suited to the uses of the Society. It
contains a lecture hall handsomely decorated and well lighted, heated and
ventilated, with a seating capacity of one hundred and seventy-five persons;
a fire-proof library specially constructed with a view to safety, light, quiet and
convenience, and an attractive room for general Society purposes open to
members and their friends. .
The Society has, by careful and capable management, steadily improved,
and has at present assets amounting to nearly $50,000.00, and a good income
from dues and rentals ; it is under the management of a Board of Trustees
elected by the members for alternating periods of three years.
The membership of the Society, comprising a large number of our best
known and prominent citizens, is made up of Annual, Life and Honorary Mem-
bers. Annual Members pay an entrance fee of $10.00, and the sum of $5.00 per
year dues. Life Members pay $50.00 in lieu of all dues and fees.
Persons desirous of becoming members of the Society may address the
Executive Committee. Members have the right of introducing visitors to the
rooms and to the privileges of the Society.
The Library has upon its shelves over five thousand volumes of Geneal-
ogy, Biography and Local History, and nearly thrice that number of pamphlets
and' unbound books on these subjects, as well as many manuscripts of value.
It is open to members and visitors from 10 A. M. to 6 P. M. on week days and
holidays, and from 8 to 10 p. m. on Mondays, except during the months of
August and September. . .
Regular Meetings of the Society, at which addresses of historical interest
are delivered, are held on the second Friday evening of each month, except
June, July, August and September.
The Society has progressed steadily in its particular sphere, and has been
the means of awakening interest in many persons heretofore ignorant of or
indifferent to their ancestral history; during the past decade this interest has
greatlv increased, and has resulted in bringing to light and preservation many
record's of value. Beginners in the Genealogical field will find that the Society
with its collections, its "Record," and the accumulated experience of its mem-
bers, offers advantages indispensable to their work.
" Those who do not treasure up the memory of their ancestors do not deserve
to be remembered by posterity."— Edmund Burke.

GOD'S ACRE
MONUMENTS should have a religious
character. This means that they should be
designed by Specialists who believe in this
idea. We are Specialists of over forty
years standing. Our experience is at your
service. Among our recently executed work
is the large important Historical Monument
in the Old Scots Burying Ground, at Free-
hold, N. J., to mark the site of the first Presbyterian Church in the United
States. Correspondence solicited for any work to be erected this Summer.
Decision for work to be erected this Spring should be made at once,
so the foundation can be set before the new grass and flowers.
