HAMILTON FISH.

Bv Asa Bird Gardiner, LL.D., Secretary-General of -.-the Society of the Cincinnati.

The decease, on September 7. 1893, of the Honorable Hamilton Fish. LL.D., President-General of the Cincinnati, at his country seat. "Glen- clyffe," near Garrison's-on-the Hudson, N. Y., was a loss to the United States of one of its most eminent citizens, whose labors in its service had become historic.

The family of which he was a representative originally settled at Cape Cod. Massachusetts, in 1637, from whence the branch to which he belonged removed to Long Island.

His descent was as follows :

Jonathan Fish, who was born in England about iaio, came to New England about 1635, in one of the many shirs which then arrived, and two vears later settled at Sandwich, Barnstable County, MassJ

chusetts Bay Colony. From tl	lence, in 1650- he removed to NV"

eldest son was Jonathan Fish.	' Either of Nicholas Fish," who w;
second child.
Nicholas Fish was born in	the city 01 New York, August 28,
and died there June 20. 1 S 3 3 .	and was, at the breaking out c
Revolution, a student at law in	the office of the Honorable John .

Scott, who became Brigadier-General, and who, on June 21. 1776 appointed him his Brigade-Major. Five month?, liter, through ib- influence of Brigadier-General Scott, Major Nicholas Fish was, dl'. but eighteen years old, appointed Major ad Regiment New Yofk Con- tinental Infantry, which was then being re-crganized ;'for the war." over the heads of many experienced officers who had served with credit under Montgomery at Chamble, St. John's, and Quebec, and under Sullivan, Schuyler, and Washington. The wisdom of this selection was attested by Major Fish's gallant services. By appointment of Washing* ton he became a Division Inspector under Major-General Baron de ,' Steuben, and participated in the principal actions with the New York s' Line. Major Fish served with reputation throughout the Revolution ' ary War, and was breveted Lieutenant-Colonel on September 30. 1783.-'' and honorably retired November 3, 1783. With Lafayette, William

William .North, Ebenezer Stevens, and other enthusiastic and nob;

young men, he formed one of a galaxy whom Washington delighted to

have a: his table at headquarters at Newburgh in 1782-S3. From April [3, 1 7S4 to 1795. he was Adjutant-General of the State of New York, and rom 1797 1 t>04, and again in 1 S e 5. was Pre-:. lent cf the New Yorl Stai • Soci " of • C innati. In 1794 he was appointed by President Washii .. e-n United States Supervisor cf the Revenue, and from 1806 to 1 S 1 7 he was an Alderman of the city of New York. lie married Elizabeth Stuyvesant, a daughter of Peter Siuyvesant, Esq., who was a lineal descendant ana heir of the Honorable Peter Stuyvesant, the last Dutch Governor, or Director-General. of.Xie.uw Netherlands.

Hamilton Fish was the eldest of five children by this marriage, ana was born in the citv of New York, Ausrust ;. iScS. He received

ii.a

early education at private schools in his native city, and entered Columbia College in 1823, and was graduated in 1S27 in the same class with John Player Crosby, and Professor William Henry Crosby of the New York Cincinnati. Dr. John Ciarkson, Henry Onderdonk, Jr., and Professor Henry Augustus Da Bois, HU.D., LL.D. Mr. Fish then read law in the ofrice 01 Peter Augustas Jay, Esq., and was admitted to the New York bar in 1830.

The limits of this memoir will not admit of a detailed account of his subsequent political career, which, whenever opportunity afforded, always redounded to the credit of his country. From March a, 1843, ^:e serve 1 one term as representative in the Twenty-eighth Congress, from die Sixth Congressional District of his native city. On November 2, 1S47, ne was elected Lieutenant-Governor cf the State of New York, to "11 a vacancy; and in 1 S4 S was elected Governor, and held that ofnee one tern-.. On March 19, 1 3 5 1 . he was e'ected a Senator of the United States from his Stale, and at the chise cf Lis term, in 1857, went abroad with his family for a considerable period. He was in Paris during toe regime of Napoleon III., when the court etiquette of the Bourbons was, as far as practicable, observed, and was, by reason o[ his office in the Order of the Cincinnati, received at a court ceremonial at Versailles with special honors.

In April. 18.6 1, he became prominent as a champion for the preserva- tion of the Union, and was chairman of the Union Defense Committee, 1861-65, and frequently consulted by President Lincoln. On March 1 1, 1 S 6 9 , he was appointed United States Secretary of State in the administra- cn of President Grant, and held that responsible office with great uv«i»j»ge to his country for eignt years. In the negotiation of the gr^ai treaty of Washington with Great Britain for the arbitration of the Ala- bama and Fisheries claims ; in the satisfactory settlement of the I'irgvuus case with Spain : in the negotiation of an extradition treaty with Great Britain, as well as in other less important diplomatic negotiations; in the vigorous assertion of American dominance over Hawaii as against foreign interference, and in the steadfast protection of American interests in every quarter of the globe, he won an enduring reputation, and by ins labors potentially aided in placing the United Slates in the forefront of a/e nations of the world. So tactful, quiet, but unremitting, were his labors in the great Alabama claims matter, that his countrymen hardly res'ized the obligations thev were under to him for the successful and

satisfactory termination of an international question, which, sooner or later, would have resulted in war. As years have gone by, his diplo- matic foresight and acumen have been more and more realized and appreciated, and it only remained for the very recent work (just pub- lished) of Mr. J. C. Bancroft Davis, entitled " Mr. Fish and the Ala- bama Claims : a Chapter in Diplomatic History," to show how much the American people were indebted to this patriotic and able statesman for the vindication of its rights under the Law cf Nations.

In the office of Secretary of State, Hamilton Fish will rank with Thomas Jefferson, John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, William L. Marcy, and William H. Seward, whose services are enduringly written in their country's history. Secretary Fish's diplomacy was, as has been 'aptly said, not only successful in its immediate object, but has he-n vindicated in its wisdom by lasting results of high utility ; and it must have produced a grateful feeling in his honored old age to watch the beneficent operation of the treaties he had dictated, and the international relations he had established.

In 1840 he became a Trustee of Columbia College, and in 1 S 5 9 was chosen President of its Board of Trustees and continued in that capacity until his decease. He received the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from his own A/ma Mater in 1S50 ; from Union College in 1S60, and from Harvard University in [871. From 1S67 until he became Secretary of State, he was President of the New York Historical Society. He was also a Trustee of the Lenox Library and As:or Library, and a Trustee of the " Peabody Educational Fund," and was for a time President of the Union League Club. Inheriting an ample fortune, he was enabled to fulfill the social duties incumbent on the position he occupied as a leader of society, and the elegant hospitality of his home in Washing- ton, while head of the State Department, was a marked feature of the social side of President Grant's administration.

The relations sustained by Secretary Fish to the Society of the Cincin- nati were peculiarly interesting. On July 4, 1831, he was admitted an hereditary member as the eldest son ot Major and Brevet Lieutenant- Colonel Nicholas Fish, deceased, and in 1844. was elected Treasurer of the New York State Society of the Cincinnati, an office he continued to hold until elected President of that State Society. July a. 185.5. Mean- while, in 1848, he became Yice-President-General of the Cincinnati, and on May 17, 1S54, he was chosen by the General Society to be President- General, vice General Henry Alexander Scammel Dearborn. 01 Massa- chusetts, deceased, and continued in that high office until his death, at which time he was the senior hereditary member in date of admission.

Secretary Fish was the ninth President-General of the Cincinnati, his predecessors having also all held office respectively until their decease.

They were :

k

a Hamilton Fish. [Jan.,

Of .Vice- Presidents-General during this period of one hundred and ten years, four were from Massachusetts, three from Pennsylvania, three from New York, two from New Jersey, two from South Carolina, and one from Virginia, Major- General Horatio Gates. LL. D. Major Popham was the last of the Continental Line of the Revolution chosen President-General.

The peculiar and remarkable respect and uncommon attention and affection which the Cincinnati had shown President-General Washington was, to nearly as great a degree, bestowed on all his successors. Presi- dent-General Fish had the unbounded regard of the members, which he reciprocated, and in the closing years of his life he gave much thought to the principles of the institution and the purposes of the founders.

When he became Vice-President-General, in 1848, but few of the ven- erable and honored original members survived, and in 1S54 the last of : them, Robert Burnet, passed away.

With the difficulty of communication before the era of railways, tele- graphs, and frequent and cheap postal rates, and by reason of the absence, at great distances, of properly qualified descendants of original members, who were thereby debarred from acquiring hereditary membership, the Society of the Cincinnati had gradually diminished in numbers until it was perceived that it was liable to extinction at no distant day. Presi- dent-General Dearborn, in a communication to the General Society dated November 29, 1S4S, called attention to this fact, and suggested the adoption of some such rule concerning admissions of members as had been contained in a report made to the South Carolina State Society on March 4, 1799, adding that, in his opinion, " unless such a measure is adopted, this time-honored and glorious association will cease to exist within less than a third of a century, or be so reduced in numbers as to be iinavailal>le for the purposes of its organization." The General Society, on the same day, appointed a committee of which Mr. Fish was a member, to consider "if it be not expedient and proper to suspend. alter, or abrogate the limitation with regard to the admission of mem- bers, "and to inquire and report what alterations are necessary and proper on the subject. This committee brought in a report at the next trien- nial meeting in May, 1851, submitting, in amendment of the Institution. an "ordinance relative to the succession and admission of members," making eligible all male descendants of officers of the Revolutionary Army. The ordinance, however, failed of ratification by the several State societies, and consequently the Institution remained as originally adopted in May. 1783. At the next triennial meeting of the General Society, held in Baltimore in May, 1854, President-General Fish was member of a committee which reported new resolutions on the subject of admissions, giving to every State society "full right and power to regulate the admission of members both as to the qualifications of the members and the terms of admission," whereby more than one descend- ant of an officer of the Continental Army or Navy could be admitted. He voted for the resolutions and for a submission of them to the several Slate societies, in order. that, upon consent being given by each of the State societies, the same should become operative, and each State society be "at liberty to act upon the power given thereby." This amendment or alteration of the Institution also failed of ratification by the refusal in one instance, and neglect in others, of several State societies to ratify the resolves. Thereupon, at a special meeting of the General Society held

t$0+.] Hamilton Fish, -

in Trenton in May, 1856, >o much of the resolutions of 1S51 as required the consent of the several State societies in order to make them valid, was rescinded. Neither the Rhode Island nor New York State societies were represented at this meeting, nor was President-General Fish able to leave his duties in the United States Senate to attend. For a limited period the New York State Society, from 1S57 to 1S60. enlarged its rules of admission under this questionable action of the General Society, and admitted for their own lives only several descendants of original members, two of President-General Fish's own family being thus admitted to repre- sent, with himself, his father.

The rapid extension of the railway system of the United States, and increased facilities of communication, soon thereafter enabled proper descendants to claim their hereditary membership. The apprehension of extinction of the Society, which had induced these resolves, was thus dis- sipated, and the necessity for any relaxation oi the prescribed rules as to admissions was obviated. The admission of more than one descendant to represent the same propositus not having been found to be satisfactory within the scope and intent of the Institution. President-General Fish came to the conclusion, upon mature deliberation, that, as the necessity for any relaxation of the strict rule had passed away, it ought henceforth to be rigidly adhered to.

The rise and progress of the patriotic society of the " Sons of the Revolution," from their first meeting in the hall cf the New York Histor- ical Society, on December 18, 1S75, for consultation and organization, was viewed with lively interest and satisfaction by President-General Fish, who was wont to term_theniembers "younger brothers of the Cincinnati." Considering as he did the Society of the Cincinnati to be mere'y the symbolism of certain great principles enunciated in their Institution, to be perpetuated through the eldest male posterity of original members and their associates, he perceived in the ''Sons of the Revolution " a society of descendants of Revolutionary patriots, who, in their laudable objects and purposes, supplement the Society of the Cincinnati, and are destined to earn' on in a national way the work long performed, from 1703, by the "Society of the Revolution " of South Carolina, in fraternal unison with the Cincinnati.

At the last triennial meeting of the General Society of the Cincinnati. held in Boston, Mass.. in May-June, 1S93, President-General Fish, by reason of infirmity of years, was unable to attend. Deeply solicitous in its affairs, he corresponded constantly with the Secretary-General as to its business and kept himself thoroughly informed. On June 9, 1 S 9 3 , he addressed his "dear Brethren " of the General Society, and, after express- ing his deepest regrets at being unable to be with them, earnestly wrote as follows :

"I beg to commend especially to your calm and wise consideration, the establishing of an uniform rule, to be observed by all the State societies, as to the qualification of applicants for admission to the Society. In this each State society is a Trustee of the interests and character ot each of its associate State societies, and I beg permission to commend to your decision the strictest possible adherence to the intent of our Institu- tion, to confine admissions to the blood of those who instituted the Society and of their associates in the War of the Revolution, in the right line of descer '."

After referring to having been honored for thirty-nine years with the President-Generalcy of the Society, he concludes as follows :

"With most profound gratitude for your long-continued favor and for your generous indulgence, and with aifectionate regards to each and every of our membeis, my earnest prayer is that God may bless our Society of the Cincinnati, esU perpe/u,.:,"

In compliance with his solemn injunction, the whole subject concern- ing admission of members was referred to the Standing Executive Com- mittee for report and recommendation at the next General Meeting.

Upon the occasion of his obsequies at St. Philip's Church in the Highlands, on September 11, 1893, ajepresentation of the Society of the Cincinnati attended, including a special delegation from the Xew York State Society, and were accorded the position of principal mourners, next after the immediate family. The several State societies have since adopted ■appropriate resolutions, which, however, were not. necessary, as the affec- tionate respect and esteem always entertained by the Cincinnati for their late honored and venerated President-General was well known.

GENEALOGY: IIS AIMS AND ITS UTILITY.

When the philosopher Zeno in the fifth century b.c. consulted the oracles as to what manner lie should live, the answer was, "Inquire oi the dead."

It was an ancient custom to seek in cemeteries for counsel to guide the conduct, and for inspiration to invigorate the purpose.

"Whatever withdraws us," says the great Dr. Johnson, "from the

power of our senses, whatever makes the past, the distant, and the future predominate over the present, advances us in the dignity of thinking being*."

• Human intelligence, " says one of the Tate honored presidents of this s ciety, "ha- never yet succeeded in improving upon the divine model of the family relation," and it is this relation which furnishes both the occasion and material for Genealogy.

''Pulse-beats smile down the strongest tyrannies," says Charles Martyn ; and it is the heroic spirit. of the God-fearing Huguenot, of a Huss. a Luther, a Calvin, and a Washington, which has transformed societies, and which, unapproachable as the sun, has always, throughout the centuries, through seas of blood, pressed on towards the just, the beautiful, the true, thus raising more and more the head of the people towards the right, and the head oi the individual towards God.

The first great movement for liberty of conscience and freedom, civil and religious, was not, in France, an importation, for God had deposited the first principles of the work in a few brave hearts of Picardy and Dau- phiny before it had begun in any other country of the globe. It was the voice of the Protestant Lefevre of Etaples. France, a man of great nobil- ity of soul, which was to give the signal of the rising of this morning star of liberty. Fie it was who taught Fare!, the great reformer and master builder with Luther.

There are many who regard genealogical records as dry and tedious, and so, I confess, they may be made to be as prepared by some writers ; but let us not forget that it is out of such details, found so often in mustv rolls and time-stained parchments, that history is made. This presenting of items of family biography is by no means an idle, dilettante pursuit, but the beginnings of living science, vital to the prbfouudest philosophy. We pay honor to the dead when we thus show their relations to the living.

Even a moral can be drawn from the Vision of the Prophet in the va'lev which was full of bones of the dead. He sets it forth in a "bony light" indeed. "There were very many in the open valley, and io, they were very dry." It was apparently a most unpropitious held, yet it proved to be one which it was well to cultivate. These dry bones were found to be capable c f living. There came a voice, and a shaking, and the bones came together every bone to its fellow bone ; flesh and skin came upon them ; breath entered into them, and they lived and stood up. That is what we are attempting. Each of us has a regard for the bones of his own family stock, and we shall soon find bone matching bone. History is made in such ways. All history is but a connecting together in their proper place of the achievements of individuals. His- tory is the beginning of all science ; without it we are little better than akin to the blasts that perish.

I am in full sympathy, too, with the glorious individuals who were first to establish their name. I would do them honor as constituting the true order cf nature's nobility. I cannot appreciate the feeling of Sir Walter Scott when he exulted rather in obtaining the office of High Sheriff of Lanark than in being the author of the works that rendered his name immortal. When the dwarf bragged of having descended from a race of giants, the Irishman was just in his comment, that it was "a divil of a descent that he had made."

1S94.] Genealogy: lis Aims and l/s Utility. 2\

Of the class of evolutionists who would derive their ancestry from the ape races, we may only question how far they descended below ihe moral and mental attitude of their progenitors, for very likely they were very respectable monkeys, h would 'nave been sad for the products of their family tree to deteriorate. Xor are we saying much for those

" Whose noble blood Crept through scoundrels since the flood."

We prefer by far the lineage set forth by the elder Alexandre Dumas to the man who taunted him with having negro blood : '• My father was a quadroon, my grandfather was a negro, my great-grandfather was an ape ; my family line begins at the point where yours ends."

But to be well fathered and well mothered is of untold advantage. Such are less liable to be handicapped in life, and are better able to contend against its besetments. The descendant of a worthy ancestry is enabled to honor his father and his mother, having his days long in the land, and his reputation and achievements in keeping with the glorious name of those who lived berore him. We expect worthy acts from those of better race. Always have men been of that conviction.

The historian Gibbon once remarked that ''a lively desire of know- ing and recording par ancestors so generally prevails, that it must depend on the influence of some common principle in the minds of men." If we look over ancient literature for the account of some famous man, we find a careful record preserved of his ancestry. Herodotus, the Father of History, is very particular to tell us of the lineage of every prince, every chieftain and man of eminence. Except he had a pedigree, he was regarded as of small account. We can trace the ancestry of Scion, Pei- sistratus, Pericles, Plato, and others, to the time when Grecian history began,

Homer, when describing his more famous heroes, is diligent to recite their parentage. They were called hr.rccs, not, as we would suppose, because of their exploits, but because their lineage was divine. In Grecian story a hero was considered as half a god.

So, too, on the celebrated inscription at Behistan, Darius, the founder of the Persian Empire, is careful to record his ancestry.

"I am the Great King, king of kings/" the inscription reads. li From ancient time our family have been kings. Eight ol my line have been kings beibre me; I am the ninth. We nine have been kings by lineal [ descent."

Shall we not turn to the Bible itself? We find a persistent endeavor to trace the lineage to remote antiquity. Witness the pains in the Book of Chronicles to include families in the roll of honorable descent. "All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham, King of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam. King of Israel."

No man could serve as priest except his genealogy was pure. "The stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death," was the law. He was further forbidden to profane his lineage by marrying a wife of equivocal character cr parentage. When Jeroboam I. attempted to restore a local worship among his subjects, the Israelites, it was imputed to him as a sin that he made priests of the lowest of the people, as did the Samaritans afterward. The " lowest of the people," it is almost needless to say, were men who had no genealogical tree.

26 Genealogy : lis Aims and lis Utility. [Jan.,

Again, we are twice told that when the Jews returned with ZeruLbabel from the Captivity, of the priests, three family groups "sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, ' but it was not found, and therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.

Similar pains were bestowed in respect to the Hebrew kings. Heze- kiah was carefully described as having David for his father, as though but for his lineage he were unworthy to reign. To sit upon the throne of David, he must be of the house of David. The Jews would not revere a sovereign who had not a genealogy in their public records.

This was equally the case elsewhere, and that sentiment holds good still.

I am aware that this age is largely utilitarian, and that the many are little disposed to prize anything which has not immediate mate- rial advantage. I have often wondered that such individuals did not hesitate at such a waste of time and money as to put away the bodies of their dead, when it was so easy to utilize them, and so absurd to waste sentiment on them. I have little regard for the self-made men who io constantly worship the self that they consider made them. It was a piti- ful creature that they made.

Nevertheless. I believe that it is proper that I attempt to set forth the use of genealogical study. It is the science of all civilization, alt culture, all history, all that makes life worth living. It teaches us our kinship to the human race, our duty to one another, our interest in the welfare of all mankind, our share in each other's joys and each other's griefs, how to be useful and thereby good.

Even the story of poverty, suffering, and crime is vitally intertwined with the problems of genealogy. We may not seek to evade our account- ability by disclaiming that we are not our brother's keeper. We owe to every human being to afford to him an opportunity to obtain, so far as may be in our power, the fullest means of happiness and usefulness. The crim- inal classes, the criminals themselves, are often the result of our culpable disregard of our rraternai relationship to them, rather than simply of the inspiration of their inherent depravity. They are permitted to be engen- dered and Lor:, into conditions that ma'.e crime the breath of their life, if not the necessity of their existence. The sons and daughters of crimi- nal parents are more naturally inclined to crime than these parents them- selves. We may not arrest their birth or prevent their propagation, but we owe it to them to do ail in our power to purify the fountains of parent- age, so that only a pure and worthy offspring shall be the result. The aim of penal legis'ation should be reformation ; vengeance for crime is but brutal savagery. We should aim to have Letter parents and better oppor- tunities, and then we may hope, as we now cannot, for generations pure, healthful, and virtuous. In this way the slums will be abolished and homes established in their place.

Genealogy is more than a mere array of skeletons, the dry details of parents and offspring, but a bringing into view of the relations and inter- ests which these details show to be clearly and vitally allied. We learn from the study why nations exist, why they are in alliance or hostility, why particular institutions are established and maintained, why the arts are cultivated which embellish our social life and bind us more firmly together. It shows us concerning religion, which is man's supreme effort to attain the good, that it has existed from the farthest antiquity, from a

i S94. J Genealogy : lis Aims and lis Utility. 2 ~

worship at a common family hearth, by virtue of which all who partici- pated were sharers in a common fraternal life and belonged'in the same divine care. We get some clew to the reason why Socrates preferred to drink the hemlock and die at once, to making his escape from the prison to live the life of an exile in another country. The first worships embraced the ancestors in their scope, and bound families and peoples together by a sacred tie, to rupture which was to become outcast, out of law, civilly dead, ''cut oft" from the people." He could say with Romeo :

" Hence banished is banished the world, And world's exile is death.,?

It is a hopeful fact in the history of our country that a greater enthu- siasm has sprung up for genealogical study. The societies of Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution, Colonial Dames, and Societies of Colonial Wars, are creating emulation among those whose ancestry first subdued the soil, established towns and churches, and finally made of their colonies a country and a nation. Our various Genealogical and Historical Societies are encouraging the same sentiment. Let the wolf of the forest forget its young and ignore its ancestry: man, being in the image of his Divine Parent, duly regards both. He is thus a neighbor and a citizen, not an outlaw or Ishmaelite.

We learn therefore to revere one another. Our neighbor is also our brother or our sister, " bone of our bone, and flesh of our flesh." Our relations are intimate, and not antagonistic. The welfare of one is the welfare of all. As the foot and the hand in the human body are dependent upon each other and have a common life, so the capitalist and employer in social life are fellow-dependents with the laborer and employed. If either suffers, the other is inevitably certain to experience calamity. It is not from the mere strikes and street conflicts that the danger comes, but from the hopeless despair and fraternal hate of those who have no home, no civil rights, no country.

And when such as these, defective and delinquent, come under the ban of our laws, we must not forget that in the new penology the old princi- ple of punishment must give place in part to the better and truer methods of reformation ; the "criminal must be studied instead of studying the criminal act, for there are two factors in crime — psycho-physical organi- zation, and external circumstances or environment." And here comes in that most important aid and factor, genealogy. But a few days since, as one of a committee appointed in our Charities Aid work to examine the latest of prison reformatory methods, I was shown at the Reformatory at Concord, Mass., the collection of laree volumes in which are written bio- graphical records of over 4,000 prisoners. Here were inquiries covering the complete ancestral history for one or two generations of criminals, evidences of degeneration and disease, mental endowments and condi- tions, degree of moral sense and general sensitiveness ; every record being made by the superintendent in person. Impressions aie received and information obtained, which, as the sentences are indeterminate, suggest the best course of treatment, spiritually, mentally, and physically, and thus the prisoner goes into that training reformative and regenerative, and not alone punitive, which in so many thousands of cases has, in God's provi- dence, not only recovered our enemy the criminal to a respectable, self- supporting place in society again, but has, by a renovating physical, edu-

cational, and technological regime, superinduced in his consciousness the dawning idea of a Creator who is the common Father of us all, and with this an uplifting sense of brotherhood and universal kinship.

Such is the course being now pursued in seventeen different reforma- tories in our country, and without the aid of the science of genealogy it may well be said that none of the beneficial results which we now see could possibly have been attained.

I had somewhat more to say as to details in regard to records of heredity, but space forbids. And now, in conclusion, permit me to urge upon the reader's attention the serious advantages of every one's preserv- ing, with thoughtful care, every record connected with your family his- tory ; a history which grows more valuable each hour. There is always some one about the home fireside who, if encouraged and aided, will make this his or her study, and often too it is one who, by unselfish devotion to study rather than to baiter and gain, has been left with but a small portion of this world's goods. Let that one, my rich and busy friend, be your treasured and helpful historian.

Do not forget that, as each one of us can bear witness, it is the dear old family Bible we learned first to know at a loving mother's kr.ee, that contains the family records ; and surely we should hold as sacred, not only its priceless teachings, but also those short but touching family his- tories, often tear-stained, which have been there written by a brave father or a sainted mother. God grant that now, in this day of great machines, combines, and greed of gold, our people may learn anew how to truly revere a noble lineage and a Bible-loving parentage. Remember

" The honors of a name 'tis just to guard ; They are a trust but lent us, which we take, And should, in reverence to the donor's fame. With cart- transmit them down to other hands. How vaii": are a!i hereditary honors, These poor possessions from another's deeds. Unless our own just virtues form our title And n.ve a sanction to our fond assumption."

DOMINIE LAURENTIUS VAN GAASBFEK AND HIS DESCENDANTS.

By Cornelius H. Van Gaasbeek, Jr.

Among the first of the Dutch clergy, educated in the universities of Holland, and sent to this country by the Classis of Amsterdam, was Dominie Laurentius Van Gaasbeek. From entries made in his family Bible, extracts from which are still preserved in other family Bibles, it is learned that he was the son of Goevert Van Gaasbrek and Jacomyntje

, presumably residents of Leyden, Holland. From the same record

it is learned that his parents had three children, if not more, viz. :

Dominie Laurentius Van Gaasbeek,

Cornelius Van Gaasbeek,

Cornelia Van Gaasbeek.

First Generation.

1. Dominie Lturentius1 : born in Holland, died at New York City February, 16S0. The first of the family to arrive in America, and pro- genitor of all who bear his name in this country. From his diploma, received from the University o( Leyden, it appears that he was graduated from that university with honors May 25, 1674, receiving the degree of M.D.* On the 28th of May, 1673, he was married in the High Dutch Church at Leyden, by Dominie Johannes Muller, to Laurentia Van de Keilenaar (died May 3. 1703), sister of Sarah Van de Kellenaar, who married Dominie Johannes Weeckstein, the third pastor of the Dutch Church at Kingston, N. Y. After having been without a regular pastor for about ten years, the Dutch Church at Kingston entered into the following agreement.

Coincident with the preceding, the Consistory made out a call or request to the Classis of Amsterdam for a pastor to be sent out to them by that body. The original call in the Dutch language, with the signa- tures of the Consistory, was brought back to this country by Dominie Van Gaasbeek, as part of his credentials, and is still preserved. A trans- lation follows : *

"To the Honorable and Most Worthy Classis at Amsterdam. Honorable Sirs : Whereas, in the Esopus district, under the jurisdiction of New York, there are three villages at present without a teacher or official preacher ; we have conjointly raised six hundred schepels of wheat to be applied to the support of a preacher in behalf of the three aforesaid villages which with regard to assistance are placed too far away from another. There- fore we feel constrained to bring before your honorable body our need of your assistance (in your official capacity) in finding a preacher for us. willing to come here for living wages. A man of high trust and sound doctrine may enjoy the term of his wages for years, while we bind our- selves to pay him upon the arrival of his journey here. Moreover the preacher shall have his dwelling and firewood free. Meanwhile are we anxiously looking for the coming of a well qualified teacher. We also remain until further your humble brethren and servants in Christ Jesus, the Consistory a^-Kingston, Hurley and Marbletown."

the same month. In consequence of the protracted vacancy in the pas- torate, the church had become somewhat weakened and scattered. Dominie Van Gaasbeek at once set to work with vigor to recover some of the ground lost in the previous eleven years. He was zealous in the work of the church and faithful in the discharge of his duties. A blessing attended his efforts, so that in one year the membership increased to one hundred and eighty. During his pastorate a new and substantial stone church, forty-five by sixty feet, was erected on the northeast corner of Wall and Main Streets. It was built in true Holland style, with highly colored, painted window glass bearing the coat-of-arms of William, Prince of Orange. The new edifice was completed and dedicated about January i, 1680. Dominie Van Gaasbeek did not live long to enjoy and preach in the new and commodious church, as his career was cut short by death, February, 16S0. He was taken sick with a lever, and for medical treat- ment went to New York where he died. His unexpected death filled the minds of the people with sadness, and cast a gloom over the prospects of the young church, which had flourished so much under his fostering care. Dominie Van Gaasbeek was a man of culture and refinement, having been educated both as a physician and clergyman,, and was familiarly called the " Dominie Doctor." He was a member of the first ecclesias- tic ' body of the Dutch Church in America. In the year 1679 Governor .xaros authorized and directed the Dutch clergy to form a Ciassis and ordain Peter Tesschemaeker, then a candidate for the ministry. Accord- ingly Dominies Van Xieuwenhuysen, Schaats, Van Gaasbeek, and Van Zuuren formed a Ciassis and examined and ordained Tesschemaeker to the ministry. The proceedings of this Ciassis, convened at the call of an Episcopal Governor, were afterwards confirmed by the Ciassis of Amster- dam. The widow of Dominie Van Gaasbeek, Laurentia Kellenaar, married (1681) her second husband, Major Thomas Chambers, Lord of the Manor of Foxhall, who departed this life April 8. 1694. leaving his property to the children of the Dominie, and devising his Manor to the Dominie's only son upon the condition of his assuming the surname of Chambers. Laurentia Kellenaar married September 26, 1695, her third husband, Wesse' Ten Broeck, Sr., a sketch of whom will be found in the Record, Vol. XIX., page 69 (April, iSSS).

She was a wietow, and faced the dangers and hardships of anew country for the opportunities it offered to her ihree sons, who came with her, viz., Nicholas Bayard, Mayor of New York City 1685, Peter Bayard, and Balthazar Bayard. These men ail became wealthy and influential. Biandina Kiersted was daughter of Dr. Hans Kiersted and Sarah Roeioffse Janse (m., Dutch Church, X. V., June 29, 1642). The latter was a daughter of Roeloff Jansen and Annetje Webber, more familiarly known to her descendants as " Anneke Jans." Abraham was an infant when his father died. His mother, Laurentia Kellenaar, married. 16S1. Major Tiiomas Chambers, Lord of the Manor of Foxhail, and at once took up her residence at the mansion house of the Manor. No children blessed this marriage. Thomas Chambers, disappointed in the hope of having children of his own, took great interest in the three young children of his wife. Abraham, the son, became his especial fa\orite, being fifteen years old when his stepfather died. April S. 1694. Abraham knew no other father than Thomas Chambers, and the latter esteemed the boy as if he were his own.

In his will he provides that Abraham "is to be brought up and taught so farr as possible until: he come to age." The estate was left in possession of the widow until Abraham should be of age. which was in December, 1700, when Abraham Gaasbeek Chambers became Lord of the Manor of Foxhali, vested with all its privileges and estates, becoming the richest and one of the most influential men in the Esopu?.

in the English Cathedrals, and Mrs. Julia Ward Howe read a paper on Mrs. Lucy Stone Blackwell. November 24th an interesting business and conversational meet- ing was held, and December 8th Mr. Josiah Collins Pumpelly delivered an address on " Genealogy, its Aims and its Utility." The following members have been recently elected :

Resident — Dr. Isaac Hull Piatt. Dr. Thomas E. Satterlhwaite, Charles Wyllys Cass. Richard T. Greene, Dr. Richard Kalish, Alexander Crawford Cheno- with. H. C. F. Randolph, Morris P. Ferris.

Honorary — Mrs. Julia Ward Howe.

The twenty-fifth anniversary of the formation of the society will occur February 27, 1S94, and it has been decided to celebrate the event in an appropriate manner. A committee has been appointed for that purpose, consisting of the following gentle- men : Theophylact B. Bleecker, Samuel Burhans, Jr., Thomas C. Cornell, S. Victor Constant, Henry T. Drowne, Dr. Ellsworth Eliot. James J. Goodwin, Gen. George S. Greene, Richard H. Greene. Dr. William F. Holcombe, Rufus King, Charles L. Lamberton, Herbert L>. Lloyd, J. Pierpont Morgan, Howland Pell, John V. L. Pruyn, Josiah C. Pumpelly, Dr. Samuel S. Purple, Frederick D. Thompson. Cornel- ius Vanderbilt, A. V. W. Van Vechten, and T. A. Wright, and the President, Secretary, and Treasurer of the society, ex-officio. This committee organized by the appointment of Dr. S. S. Purple as chairman and Richard H. Greene as secretary, and decided to give a reception on the afternoon of the anniversary day, and to hold a meeting in the evening at which addresses on subjects connected with the Society's work should be delivered. Much interest has been manifested in the proposed cele- bration, and it is hoped and believed that it will greatly advance the welfare of the Society.

OBITUARIES.

BUTTRE. — John Chester Buttre was born in Auburn. N. V., June 10, 1S21, and died at Ridgewood. N. J., December 2, 1693. He was the son of William Buttre. b. in Perthshire, Scotland, August 9, 1782, d. in New York City. October 2. 1S64: and Mary Ann (Lathrop) Buttre, b. in Fairfield, Herkimer County, N. V., April 2. 1S00. d. in Ridgewood, N. J., May 7, 1S52.

Mr. Buttre was one of the oldest and most widely known of the publishers, engravers, and plate-printers in America. He commenced business in Auburn in 1833, and removed to New York in 1841, being of late years at 32 Cortlandt Street. He published The American Portrait Gallery, of which there have been several editions issued, and his daughter, Lillian C. buitre, assisted him in the work. The biographical sketches are cleveily told, and therefore possess an abiding interest. He was a general engraver and plate-printer, and for many years has made a spe- cialty of engraving fine portraits on steel, several being for members of this Society.

The old Diploma plate, engraved on copper by J. J. Le Veau, of Paris (Frances for the Society of the Cincinnati in the last century, was found to be very badly corroded, in May, 1888, and Mr. Buttre, from motives of patriotism, devoted many days to its restoration, thereby meriting the thanks of the General Society of the Cincinnati at its Triennial Meeting in 1890.

Mr. Buttre was a corresponding member of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, and also a corresponding member of the Rhode Dland Histor- ical Society. H. T. D.

-Moore. — Charles B. Moore, one of the early members of the New York Genea- logical and Biographical Society, for many years a Trustee and a member of the Publication Committee, and since 1S70 the chairman of the Committee on Biograph- ical Bibliography, died at his residence in this city on Monday, December II, 1S93. An extended sketch of Mr. Moore's life will appear in the next number of The

RECORD!

NOTES AND QUERIES.

Eliot. — The early years of John Eliot, " Apostle to the Indians,"' were passed in Widford, County of Hertford ; in Na/eing, County of Essex , at Little Baddow in the same county; and at Jesus College. Cambridge University.

In the Parish Register oC the Church of St. John Baptist at Widford, his baptism is thus recorded : "John Elliott the sonne of Bennett Elliott was baptized the fyfte daye of Auguste in the yeare of or Lord God, 1604."

The bapii-m of his sister Sarah in 159), his brother Phillip in 1602, and his brother Jacob in iGob.are also recorded in this Parish Register.

Among the marriages is this : Bennett Eliot and Letteye Aggar were married the 30th of October. 159S.

Subsequent to 1606 and prior to 1610 the family doubtless removed to Nazeing, as in the Parish Register oi the Church of All Saints in that Parish are recorded the baptisms of Lydia in 1610. of Francis in 1615, and of Mary in 1620. The Register also shows that in the churchyard there are the graves, unmarked and unknown, of Letteye Eliot, who died in 1620, and Bennet Eiiot, who died in 1621 — the father and mother of ttw " Apostle."

In the library of Jesus College. Cambridge University, is a copy of the Indian Bible pre-ented by John Eliot, as his inscription on the fly-sheet shows. This price- less volume lias been but recently discovered.

Widford is about twenty-five miles north from London, and four and one-half miles east from Ware. It contains abotU 300 inhabitants, and probably presents about the same appearance as when John Eliot was born there. The Church of St. John Baptist i^ an ancien : structure, bulk no one can tell when and how. Parts of it are probably about Sod yea'i 5 old, dating from the days of the Normans. Venerable in appearance, it looks as if it had stood for ages and would continue for centuries undilapidated. The tower, built at a ia;er date than the main building, but still not far from 500 years old. contains a peal of six bells of exceptional sweetness and purity. Some of them are of great antiquity.

Through the kindness of the Rector, the Rev. John Traviss Lockwood. arrange- ments have been made to erect a stained-glass window to John Eliot's memory. Mr. Lockwood has kindly consented that the chancel window, the most desirable one in the church, may be used for this purpose. Messrs. Burlinson & Grylls, 23 Newman Street, London, are preparing a design, a copy of which will soon be received. It will be an appropriate and beautiful memorial. The Rector of the church is thoroughly acquainted with this kind of work, and will give it his unremitting attention. The inscription will be : To the Glory of God and in Pious Remembrance of John Eliot, A.B., Cantab., called "The Apostle to the Indians," who was Baptized in this Church. August 5, [604; Emigrated to New England A.D., 1631 ; and Lied in Rox- bury, Massachusetts, May 21, 1090. This window was erected by his descendants, A.D. 1S93 tor 1S94;. " The Righteous shall be in Everlasting Remembrance.''

The cost will be about ^i,oco. Contributions of $1 and upwards from every one who claims descent from John Eliot, and from those who have married descendants, are solicited, and if sent to the undersigned, 48 West 36th Street, N. V., will be promptly acknowledged.

ELLSWORTH ELIOT.

Frank Willing Leach. 254 South Twenty-third Street, Philadelphia, Pa.

Prevost. — Bartow. — [The Publication Committee is in receipt of the following letter from Rev. E. P. Bartow, of Providence, R. I., a corresponding member of the Society and a valued contributor to The Record.]

" Will you please insert a correction to my article on the ' Prevost Family in America,' in The Recorh of January. 1SS2 [vol. xiii. p. 27]. The widow of Theooosius Bartow (Anne Stillwel!) married Capt. Philippe (not Pierre) de Visme in 175 1. December 3, and had issue : Samuel, Peter, Philip, Eliza Duval and Catharine Brown. The marriage record of Theodosia Bartow I have lately found on the Regis-

it Obituaries. — Book Notices. [Jan.,

ter of Trinity Church. New York, as follows : ' 1763. July 23, Marcus Prevost and Theodosia Bartow.' This latter is very important evidence, and refutes the saying of some of the Prevost family that Gen. Mark Prevost married Theodosia de Visme and not Theodosia Bartow.

s< Yours very truly,

" Evelyn P. Bartow."

TerHUXE. — Jane Terhune married in New York about 1S40, Joseph Kettell, born in Boston February 16, 1S09 ; died in St. Augustine, Fla.. January 25. 1^4?. whither he had gone for his health. He was of a highly intelligent mind and great natural abilities, but owing to extreme delicacy of health was unable to engage in any regular profession. He was a son of Thomas Prentice and Hannah Dawes (Peirce) Kettell. formerly of Boston.

The birth, death, marriage, and parentage, and second marriage of Jane (Terhune) Kettell are wanted for the Pickering Genealogy.

Harrison Ellerv,

2S State Street, Boston.

The Letter Y in the Holland Language. — I doubt that Mr. Banta is precise in saying that the letter Y occurs in proper names. Leiden has e/, and Leiden is a proper name. Perhaps it would be exactly correct to say that y occurs in some family names. Such names have arbitrary spelling, and it is customary for other persons to follow the usage of the family which bears the name. I do not see why Van Spetk, with ei. is not the correct form, unless it be a family name, of a family which persists in the use of ey. According to Sewell. the ei or ey would have the sound of the English word " eye." (See " Notes and Queries " in Record for Octo- ber, 1S93.) RICHARD WYNKOOP..

KlSSAM. — Alexander Kissam. born about 1S15. died December 2S or 29. 1S46, son of Joseph and Hannah (?) Kissam. He married October 2S. 1S46, Annie Peirce Kettell, born July 27,. 1S20, daughter of Thomas P. and Hannah D. Kettell.

When and where was he born, and where did he die (probably New York), and more particulars of his parents, are wanted for the Pickering Genealogy.

BOOK NOTICE-.

The German Allied Troops in the North American War of Independ- ence, 1776-1783. Translated and abridged from the German of Max Yon Eelking by J. G. Rosengarten. Joel MunselFs Sons, Albany, N. Y., 1S93. Sq. Svo, board.-.

More than a century after the close of the War of Independence, the learned translator has laid before the English reading public Van Eelking's work, written

1S94.] Book Notices. * 4-

thirty years ago, in which ihe author seeks to reverse the verdict of history and the judgment of mankind, and to prove that tardy history had not done justice to these troops ; and " to protect and restore the good name and credit of the German soldiers, ruthlessly a: tacked on all .-ides for their share in the American Revolu- tionary War. " His effort on behalf of his countrymen engaged in that momentous struggle is as patriotic as it is difficult, as the very name of Hessian has become the synonym of all that is sordid and mercenary. To make out his case and to establish that these German troops, recruited from a number of the small principalities, but usually known and designated as Hessians for the reason that the largest lines came from Hesse-Cassel. were not mere "hirelings," and that they marched willingly as volunteers and under orders, the author has been diligent in his researches and has drawn largely on contemporary journals, letters, reports, and newspapers to supply the absence of the official archives closed to the historical student. He has thus added much to the material of history ami thrown an interesting side light on events of great moment in the history of the world.

That they were only volunteers in a cause rightful to them, the pages of the book do not sustain. We are told of the large and ever-increasing bounties paid in gold and offers of land. Some came with intent to remain and settle in a new and fruitful land, and others, as their subsequent acts show, to prey upon and plunder the people and country they hoped to subjugate, and to divide among themselves the rich spoils of war. Musketeer Dohla (pp. 190— 191) says of the plunder of Hackensack : "'We gathered fine plunder, gold and silver watches, silver forks and spoons, furniture, good clothes, fine English linen, silk stockings, gloves, and carats, with other silk, woolen and cotton clothing." He inventories his "own booty," among which are "two silver watches, three necklackes of silver, four woman's shirts, one silver table- spoon, one silver teaspoon, five Spanish dollars, and six York shillings."

How willingly they went as volunteers is seen (pp. I0I-IO2), when the Bayreuth regiment, 600 strong, on the river Main, broke out in open revolt and refused to march until, " after sharp firing/' " the Grenadier Company charged on the scattered men '" and brought them back " with a loss of 40 men in the Bayreuth regiment," After this kind of persuasion the men went forward willingly.

No doubt they went under orders, as the rulers of these little principalities had made hard bargains with the English government to replenish their exhausted ex- checpaers. The dead as well as the living were to be paid for, and " three wounded. men were to count as one dead man." It is estimated the cost to the English Gov- ernment was ^"850.000 for these soldiers annually, and the subsidies were to continue for two years after the close of the war. It is estimated 27.166 of these troops were sent to America, of which number 11,353 were lost.

Interesting matter is given relating to the battle of Trenton. Rail appears to" be made the scapegoat. He is charged with being inefficient and careless and with carousing ihe night before the battle. His fault appears to have been in underesti- mating the rebels. He " hoped Washington himself would come over (the Delaware) that he might make him prisoner." Gen. Washington treated his prisoners kindly and wanted the German officers to dine with him. One of them in his diary thus describes the Commander-in-Chief : " His countenance is not that of a great hero, his eyes have no fire, but a friendly smile, when he speaks, inspires love and affec- tion. He is a courtly man of fine aspect, polished and "somewhat restrained ; says little, has a shrewd look, is ot middle height and a good figure " (p. 79).

We regret the translator has not given us the book in its entirety, thus avoiding some confusion in dates and presenting a more complete picture of events. The book is printed on good paper and in large, clear type, making it very satisfactory and pleasant to the reader. C L. L.

The Moulton Family : Some Descendants of John Moulton and William Moulton, of Hampton, N. H., 1592-1S92. Compiled by Augustus F. Moulton. Sq. 8vo, cloth, pp. 99.

The Moulton family (the name being variously spelled Multon, Muleton. Molton, Moleton, Moulson, and Moulton; is of English origin, the earliest member of it of whom any mention is made being " Thomas Multon, or De Multon, stated in the Domesday Book to have been put in possession of an estate called Galeshore." Seven of the name are found among the earliest settlers of this country, one, Thomas, being of Jamestown, Va., and the others of Massachusetts, namely, Robert and James, of Salem ; Thomas, of Charlestown ; and Thomas, John, and William, ,of Newbury.

46 v Book Notices. [Jan..

The three latter removed to Hampton, X. H., where John and William remained, Thomas subsequently settling in York. Me. The compiler — himself a descendant of William — iraces down for seven or eight generations the descendants of John and William, who are supposed to have been brothers. The book is neatly printed and bound, and contains a portrait of the compiler. It loses much of its value, however, by not having an index of the names of those who intermarried with the Moultons.

And, second (as genealogies are not made for continuous read- ing), by the index, which is the important feature — the more full and accurate the better ; and, as in this volume, the surname should be divided up under the Christian names, and so prevent the searcher being detained to look at a dozen where there may be but one who bears the name he seeks. It is more work, as any one knows who has done any indexing, but one works not only for all but for all time, and the saving of time in the end is immense. R. H. G.

Journal of Colonel George Washington, Commanding a Detachment of VIRGINIA Troops, sent by Robert Dinwiddle, Lieutenant-Governor of Virginia, across the Alleghany Mountains, in 1754, to build forts at the head of the Ohio. With an Appendix. Edited, with notes, by J. M. Toner, M.D. Albany. N. Y. : Joel Munsell's Sons. 1893. Sq. Svo., boards, pp. 273. .

Of making books about Washington there seems to be no end, but much reading of them is never a weariness to the flesh. The volume before us is no exception to this rule. The Journal which is here given has a singular history. Kept by Wash- ington in the spring and early summer of 1754, on his march from Alexandria to the Ohio, it fell into the hands of the French, probably at the battle of the Grand Meadows in that year. A French translation of it was published in Paris in 1756. and this version is a retranslation from the French into English. Of the whereabouts of the original, nothing is now known. While it is exceedingly interesting, we ques- tion its value historically, as the French version was undoubtedly much garbled. The histoiical and biographical notes by the editor are full and very valuable. T. G. E.

A Genealogical Record of Mathew Pratt of Weymouth, Massachu- setts, and his American Descendants. 1623-1SS9. By Francis G. Pratt, Jr. Boston, Mass., 1S90.

The author of this particularly well-printed octavo volume, who is a member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, has performed his labor ol love in a highly creditable manner. To prepare a family history covering a pericd of two hundred and sixty-six years and to do it thoroughly, as Mr. Pratt has done, is no slight labor. He was greatly aided in his work by Judge Granville Pratt, who devoted his leisure hours for many years to the Dreparation of a family genealogy, and who, on learning that the present volume was in progress with prospect of an early publication, generously contributed the result. of his own labors to the common fund of family history. We may add that much valuable information relating to the Pratt families of England may be found in Chapman's Genealogy of the Pratts of Connecticut, who were descendants of William Pratt of Saybrook. w.

We do not often receive genealogical publications from 'he extreme South, but New England stock takes pride in its ancestry which distance does not quench. The author quotes from ''The Rambler": '"He that wishes to be counted among the benefactors of po^erny must add by his own toil to the acquisitions of his ancestry." These words deserve to be engraved and remembered. The day has gone by when self-respecting men may boast ignorance of those who bore their blood. Knowledge of the past should inspire the desire to keep up the standard and. if possible, rai-e it. Ignorance of the past marks one as unworthy to be remembered in the future.

DESCENT OF MAJOR-GENERAL GERSHOM MOTT, OF NEW JERSEY,

By his Daughter, Miss Kate A. Mott.

Major-General Gershom Mott of New Jersey traced his descent from the immigrant from Essex, England, the first Adam Mott* of Hemp- stead, L. I., through Adam's son Gershom, who was born in Hempstead in 1663.

The name Mott, or De la Motte, is French, and not uncommon. De la Motte FeneJon was the great Archbishop of Cambrai. It is not, how- ever, proposed here to attempt to trace the European ancestry of the immigrant Adam Mott. But it may be noted that the Mott family had been prominent in the county of Essex. England, for several centuries. and doubtless came originally from France, perhaps with William the Conqueror. After a time the French prefix had been usually abandoned, although De Motte or De la Motte is still retained in some families both in this country and in England. The Motts of Essex, England, owned many manors, and the main line can be traced for five hundred years. The creit of the Essex Motts is a star with eight points on a crown, and a Latin motto which in English reads : *' Speed, strength, truth, "f The Motts of Essex overflowed into adjoining counties, and an earlier Adam Mott came from the adjacent county oi Cambridge to Boston, then very recently founded, several years before the Adam Mott of Essex was in New Amsterdam.

According to the records of the Dutch Church of New Amsterdam, Adam Mott of Essex, England, was married in New Amsterdam on the 28th July, 1647, to J axe Hulet of Buckingham, England. The record shows that neither had been previously married. About a year before this date, on the 23d April, 1646, the Dutch Government of New Nether- lands granted to Adam Mott twenty-five morgans of land on Mespath Kill (Newtown Creek). The Albany records (iv., pages 1S7-89-90) also mention Adam Mott as witness in the court in- New Amsterdam on the 23d October, 1645, and even earlier than this, on the 6th June and 10th

* For convenience of the reader in tracing the line of descent, the names of the lineal ancestors of General Gershom Mott are printed in capitals. The generations are numbered in the usual way : the immigrant Adam Mott.1 his son Gershom,2 and so on.

^O Major-General Ger shorn J foil, of New Jersey. [April,

May, 1644. He apparently remained in New Amsterdam for several years, for according- to the same church records his infant son Adam was baptized on the 14th November, 1049. t'ae sponsors being Thomas Hall, Olorf Stevenson Van Cortlandt, and Elsie Muytiens (Alice Newton, wife o( Captain Bryan Newton). These were among the most respectable people of the infant city, then numbering perhaps one thousand ^ uls. James, the second son of Adam, was baptized on the 15th October, 165 1, the sponsors being Rebecca Cornell, who subsequently married Geonre Wolsey ; Bryan Newton, and Carel Ver Brugge (Charles Bridges), who married Sarah Cornell, sister of Rebecca and widow of Thomas Willett, and mother of Colonel Thomas Willett, of Flushing.*

It has been sometimes assumed that this Adam Mott. of New Amsterdam in 1644-52, was the son oi the earlier Adam Mott who came to Boston from Cambridge, England, in 1655, in the ship Defence, with his family, including a son Adam, then twelve years old. This Adam Mott of Cambridge, who was in Boston in 1635, moved to Hing- ham about 1636, and subsequently to Portsmouth, R. I.; and his son Adam, who married Mary Lott, may be traced in Portsmouth until his death, about 1673,+ and must not be confounded with the Adam Mott of Hempstead who married Jane Hulet in New Amsterdam in 1647.

Soon after the birth of his second son, James, Adam Mott appears to have moved from New Amsterdam toward Hempstead on Long Island. The first entry on the first page of Book A of the Hempstead Records, March 17, 1657, certifies that Adam Mott was chosen one of the towns- men for that year. His descendants, as well as the Huiets or Hewietts, have been prominent in Hempstead and the neighboring towns down to the present day, nearly two hundred and fifty years.

Jane Hulet,1 the first wife of the immigrant Adam. : died after bear- ing him eight children, the youngest of whom was Gershom," born about 1663. Adam Mott : subsequently married Elizabeth Ricuheii." one of the daughters of John Richbeii/ the first patentee of what is now the town of Mamaroneck. Elizabeth Richbell3 bore him rive children, to one of whom he gave the name of Adam, although his eldest son Adam was still living ; and thus in his will, offered for probate in 1689, he speaks of his eldest son Adam and of his youngest son Adam.

Elizabeth Richbell's son, William Mott,3 born in 1674, "was ancestor of the celebrated surgeon, Valentine Mott, of New York. Richbell Mott,3 the eldest of the Richbell children, born in i65S, was ancestor of several persons of prominence. One of his granddaughters, Margaret, married in 1749 Melancthon Smith, a statesman of note in his day, whose grandson, Admiral Melancthon Smith of the United States Navy, died in the summer of 1S93. Jordan L. Mott, a prominent man in New York during the latter half of the present century, was descended from the first Adam Mott of Hempstead, through Joseph, the fifth son or his first wife, Ja>te Hulet.

Gershom Mott,2 son of the immigrant Adam Mott and Jake Hulet, removed in early manhood to Monmouth Countv, New Jersey, where he became prominent. He is first named in the Monmouth records about 1685. He was High Sheriff of the county in 1697-98, and member of the Provincial Assembly (Arcnives, N. J.) in 1707, 1708, 1709, 17 10,

and 1 71 3. He was expelled from the Assembly with others for refusing to vote for the Cornbury faction in 1710.

In 1695 Gershom Mott " married Catherine Bowne,* a daughter of Captain John Bowne (Salter's Early Settlers 0/ Ocean and Monmouth Counties), whose father, William Bowne, first settled in Monmouth County about 1636 and died there in 1677. John Bowne was granted forty acres of land at Jefferies Creek. He is mentioned in the first Mon- mouth patents ; paid for his portion of land bought of the Indians, and was member of the Provincial Assembly, 1703.

Gershom Mott " is mentioned as one of the heirs of Captain Bowne. His cattle-mark is recorded February 16, 16S7, subsequently transferred to his son James. Gershom Mott 3 describes himself in will, dated February 15, 1730, in the reign of George III., as "Gershom Mott, gentleman, of Middletown, Monmouth County." This will was probated March 30, 1733, and is on file in the office of the Secretary of State of New Jersey.

The following children of the first Gershom Mott ' are named in his family Bible :

1. John,3 born December i, 1697.

2. William,3 born November 9, 1699.

3. Gershom,3 born May 15, 1702.

4. Asher,3 born June 27, 1704.

5. James,3 born April 5, 1707. w

6. Huldah,3 born October 31, 1709.

William Mott,3 born November 9, 1699, second son of Gershom2 and Catherine (Bowne) Mott, was ancestor of the General. I can find little in regard to him. He was member of the Provincial Assembly in 1742 (Archives). He married (family Bible) Margaret Hartshorne, a descendant of Richard Hartshorne (Salter's Monmouth County), whose father, William Hartshorne, was of Leicestershire, England. Richard Hartshorne 1 was born there October 24, 1.641, and married Margaret Carr, November 29, 1670. Their children were : f

1. Robert.

2. Hugh.

3. Thomas.

4. Mary.

5. William,2 born January 22, 1679.

6. Richard.

7. Katherine.

8. Hugh.

William Hartshorne's2 children were Richard 3 and Margaret,3 who married William Mott.3

Richard Hartshorne,1 the immigrant above named, came to this country September 16, 1669 ; located at the Highlands, Monmouth County, N. J.; was a Quaker of good repute : was Town Clerk of Middle- town 1675 and 1676, member of Provincial Assembly 1683, 1686, 1698, and 1699 5 Speaker of Assembly 1686 ; made a deed of gift of his High- land property to his son William2 ; resided at Sandy Hook in a house now standing next to the Baptist parsonage and the oldest in the county.

William Mott's 3 will is dated Middletown, May 14, 1742. The children of William 3 and Margaret r' (Hartshorne) Mott, as given in his family Bible, now in possession of his descendants in Iowa, were :

John Mott,4 * eldest son (family Bible) of Willtam, was captain in the Revolution and grandfather of General Gershom Mott ; married 17th June, 1 78+, Eleanor. Johnston, widow of Captain Alexander of the British Navy.

Sarah,4 daughter of William and Margaret, married William Biles.

Gershom,4 second son, married Annie Godley, May n, 1773, and had Sarah, born March 1, 1774.

4. Margaret/ born October 29, 1776, married Alexander Chambers.

5. Asher/ born April 24, 1778.

Captain John Mott, son of William and Margaret ( Hartshorne) Mott and grandfather of General Gershom Mott, was born, as above stated, on the 18th January, 1734, and was therefore twenty-one years old when the French and Indian War broke out and Washington made his first campaign at the age of twenty-two as Aid to Braddock in 1775. and was twenty-five years old when Wolfe fell on the Plains cf Abraham on the 13th September, 1759. ^ *s a tradition in the family that in this war with the French he served in the British Army and fought before Quebec.

When, however, the battle of Lexington, in April, 1775, opened the American Revolution, John Mott was living on the farm above Trenton now occupied by the New Jersey Hospital for the Insane. He also owned a mill, and took an active part in all public affairs, and was among the first to join in armed resistance to British aggression.

It may be recalled that in the summer of 1775 General Montgomery conducted an army from New York into Lower Canada, captured Mon- treal, and was killed before Quebec on the 31st of December, 1775. General Sullivan succeeded Montgomery, and John Mott is supposed to have been among his soldiers, having either gone with Montgomery, or perhaps having joined the reinforcements which followed Montgomery. But this attack upon Canada was abandoned in the spring or early sum- mer of 1776. The Canadians proved not to be in sympathy with the American colonists.

In the official records of the local military organizations of New Jersey John Mott is named on 9th February, 1776, as First Lieutenant in Captain Patterson's Company in the Third Battalion,! but it does not appear whether this was his first or second or third term of service. A little before this,

on the 8th of December, 1775, the First and Second New Jersey Battalions had been ordered to New York. (Stryker, p. 15.) On the 3d of May the Second and Third Battalions went up the Hudson in sloops, and thence to Ticonderoga (Stryker) as reinforcements of General Sullivan, who, after the retreat of the British from Boston on the t 7th of March, 1 776, had taken command of the army which had retreated from Quebec. As Lieutenant John Mott was in the Third Battalion he was probably in this expedition. The New Jersey battalions were successively in Johnstown, German Flats, Fort Schuyler, Fort Dayton, and Ticonderoga and Fort Independence. They were chiefly engaged in preventing Indian incursions. But they all returned in time to take part in the campaign in New Jersey in the autumn and winter of 1776-77.

The British fleets, it should be remembered, brought an army of thirty thousand men to Long Island in the summer of 1776, and defeated Wash- ington at Brooklyn on the 2Qth August. The Patriot army was driven out of New York in the middle of September ; fought and was defeated at White Plains on the 28th of October; crossed the Hudson soon after, and was forced to continue the retreat through New Jersey during November, and reached Trenton on the 2d of December. These were the darkest days of the Revolution, and Washington soon after retreated across the Dela- ware River with the remains of his army. (Irving's Washington, vol. ii. chap, xlii.)

But meantime a new army was being organized, new recruits were brought in, enlistments were made for longer terms or " for the war " in- stead of for the previous short dates, and Congress on the 12th of Decem- ber gave Washington full power relative to the army. Lieutenant Mott and his comrades under Sullivan had just returned from Ticonderoga. In the new organization of the New Jersey troops, John Mott was made captain of the Fifth Company in the Third Battalion (29th November, 1776), and now the four New Jersey battalions constituted the "New Jersey Line" or Maxwell's Brigade. (Stryker, p. 41.)

But here, near his old home, Captain Mott's local knowledge made him of great service as Washington's guide, in planning and conducting a new attack upon the British in Trenton. Other farmers of the neighborhood were also called in. On the 20th of December General Sullivan arrived with troops from near Morristown. On the 25th, in the night, General Washington recrossed the Delaware and marched on Trenton. Captain Mott in the darkness of the morning carried a fusee on his shoulder to light General Washington. The weather was stormy, and after they had marched about three miles the Captain said to General Sullivan that 'the priming powder in the muskets was becoming damp. Sullivan replied: "Well, boys, we must fight them with the bayonet." When Washington heard this he said : *' Tell them to use the bayonet, and to penetrate the town, for the town must be taken ! I am resolved to take it ! " As is well known, he took the town and captured a thousand Hessian prisoners.*

Captain John Mott can be traced during the remainder of the war in the "New Jersey Line" or Maxwell's Brigade. On the nth of Septem- ber, 1777, tney opened the battle of Brandywine and afterward encamped near Germantown and formed the reserve corps and left wing at the battle of Germantown. (Stryker, p. 42.) Maxwell's Brigade spent most of the

winter of 1777-7S at Valley Forge, where it may be hoped that Captain John Mott got leave of absence to visit his home near Trent n. On the 2Sth of June, 177S, his command was in the left wing of the army at the battle of Monmouth. In consequence of the ''massacre of Wyoming," an army under General Sullivan, of which Maxwell's Brigade formed a part, was sent up the valley of the Susquehanna in the spring of 1779 into the settlements of the Seneca Indians, returning late in the autumn, and the New Jersey troops returned to their own State. They took a prom- inent part in the fight at Springfield, 23d June, 17S0 (Stryker, p. 46), and Captain Mott retired from the army 26th September, 1780. But in the following year the quota of New Jersey troops had so run down that the legislature took vigorous action and appointed a recruiting officer in every :ounty. Captain John Mott consented to serve in that capacity in' Hunt ,'rdon County.

Captain Mott turned his mind after the war to more peaceful ways, but served for a time as captain of militia, and at the mature age of fifty mar- ried, as above stated, 17th June, 1784. the widow of Captain Alexander of the British Navy. He and his wife are buried in the Quaker burial-ground in Trenton, at East Hanover and Montgomery Streets, whence it may be supposed that at the time of their death they belonged to the Society of Friends.

The children of Captain John and Eleanor (Johnston) Mott as named in his family Bible, now in possession of his granddaughter, Eleanor Hines Abel of Providence, R. I., were:

1. Gershom,5 born July 12, 17S5.

2. William,5 born March 29, 1790.

Gershom,5 son of John5 and Eleanor, was the father of the General. Gershom Mott" (the Judge) Jived at Lamberton, near Trenton. He was a prominent citizen, being collector of the port of Lamberton from 1S2S until his death in 1S4S, being reappointed by each President. He was appointed judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Burlington County October 31, 1S33, and held that office at the time of his death. He was a prominent member of the Baptist Church, being a deacon of the First Baptist Church of Trenton for many years. He married, April n, 1S11, Ph<ebe Rose Scudder, daughter of John Scudder (Croley's Ewing Settlers, p. 220), a descendant of the Scudders of Ewing, and Mary Keen. This Ma»v (Keen) Scudder, grandmother of Major-General Gershom Mott, was one of the thirteen maidens who strewed flowers before General Wash- ington at a reception given him at Trenton on the 21st of April, 17S9.

After peace was restored, General Mott was given command of the Division of Provincial Corps. Upon its being mustered out, he was ordered to Washington and made a member of the Wirz Commission.

He resigned February 20, 1S66, and was appointed Paymaster of the Camden and Amboy Railroad Com- pany. In 1867 he was tendered the appointment of the colonelcy of the Twenty-second United States Infantry, but declined to accept.

In 1S73 Governor Parker appointed him Major-General of the National Guard of New Jer- sey, which rank he held at the time of his deaih. March 21, 1SS2, Gov- ernor Ludlow appointed him a member of the Riparian Commission. He was also director, for many years, of the Bordentown Banking Com- pany and the West Jersey and Atlantic Railroad Company, and was treas- urer of many small corporations. All the above positions he held at the time of his death, November 29, 1SS4. He was also member of the Society of the Cincinnati, the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, and of many army societies.

General Gershom Mott left but one child, the compiler of this brief account of his life and descent. And she desires to acknowledge here her many obligations for assistance in putting this narrative into shape, and for notes of the earlier history of the family, to her kinsman of the Mott blood, Mr. Thomas C. Cornell, whose interesting book of his own Mott ancestors brings in also the ancestors of General Gershom Mott.

He was captain in the Revolutionary Army, and was detailed with his company to protect the property of the Patriots from the depredations of the Tories. For this purpose he was, in the year 1776., stationed at Livingston Manor, where two companies were under his com- mand. He was afterwards promoted to major. (Family 17.)

In connection with his business he ran a sloop between Rondout and New York, the arrival and departure of which was at ihat time as great an event as is that of a European steamer to-day, the people gathering to welcome and greet its arrival. His wife, Ariaantje, was con- sidered very beautiful, and was quite a belle in her day. Her beauty attracted the attention of General Washington during his visit to Kings- ton, and he sought an introduction at a bail given in his honor. She was familiarly called the "Rose-bud."
