In the prefatory note to the first edition, published in 1886, the author said : "This volume is the author's contribution to the Genealogy of his native State. It is the result of years of conscientious labor in this neglected field of our State History, and comprises only a portion of the material which he has gathered. On the reception of this volume, with its limited edition, will depend, in a measure, whether another volume shall follow." Owing to the demand for this initial volume while in the course of preparation for a second series of ' ' Pennsylvania Genealogies," it has been deemed proper to re-print the same. Corrections and additions have been made, which will add greatly to the permanency of the volume. In due time another series relating to representative Pennsylvania families will appear. Grateful acknowledgements are due to a number of kind friends for their hearty co-operation in this revision. To HON. JOHN BLAIR LINN, of Bellefonte, In Remembrance of Fraternal Labor in the Harvest Fields of History, These Pennsylvania Family Records are Sincerely Inscribed. m ^ TABLE OF CONTENTS. axnsworth and andrews, Allen of Hanover, . . .

On tiie 19th of December, 1656, Jacob Ai^ricks, whose father is supposed to have been Claes Alricks, born circa 1603, at Groeningen, Holland, was appointed by the Burgomasters and Council of the city of Amsterdam, Governor of that city's colony on the Delaware. He sailed from the Texel on the 25th of the same month, in the ship Printz Maurits, and reached the American coast on the 8th of March following. The vessel was wrecked on IS57, at Harrisburg ; daughter of Rev. William Kerr,* of Donegal, and his wife, Mary Wilson. They had issue : i. James, d. s. p. a. Mary-Wilson, m. James McCormick, jr. (See McCormick record.) in. Jane, d. s. p. iv. William-Kerr; cashier of the Dauphin Deposit Bank at Harrisburg. V. Hamilton; a civil engineer ; m. Mary Barr. vi. Herman, d. s. p. vii. Clara-Bull, via. Martha-Orth. ix. Bosanna-Hamilton, d. s. p. *The Rev. William Kerr was born in Bart township, Lancaster county, Penn'a, October 13, 1776. His father dying early, he was left to the tender care of a pious mother. After some years spent in the schools of the neighborhood, he was sent to Jefferson College, Cannonsburg, where he was graduated. For some years thereafter, he was principal of an academy at Wilmington, Delaware. He subse- quently placed himself under the care of the Presbytery of New Castle, and was shortly after ordained by that body. He preached in Harrisburg about the years 1805-6, and upon the resignation of the Rev. Mr. McFarquhar was sent to supply the pulpit of the Old Donegal church. In the fall of 1808, the congregation at Columbia made application to Mr. Kerr for part of his time It was not, how- ever, until the year following that he assented to give them a portion of his ministerial labors. He continued to be the stated supply there until the first Sunday in January, 1814, when he preached his farewell sermon. Mr. Kerr also preached at Marietta in addition to his charge at Donegal. He died at that town on the 22d of Septem- ber, 1821, aged forty-five years, and is interred in Old Donegal church graveyard. The Rev. Mr. Kerr married Mary Elder, daughter of James Wilson and Mary Elder, of Derry. b. 1788 ; d. February 22, 1850, at Harrisburg, and their children were Mary-E., m. Hermanus Alricks, of Harrisburg; William M., J.- Wallace, James-Wilson and Martha, m. Dr. Edward L. Orth, of Harrisburg. As a minister, there were few who stood higher in the estimation of his brethren in the Presbytery than the Rev. William Kerr. Alricks Family. 23 VII. Hamilton Alricks,' (James," Hermanus,* Wes- sels,' Pieter,'' Pieter,^) b. June i, 1806, at Oakland Mills, in l,ost Creek valley, now Juniata county. Pa.; d. July 16, 1893, at Harrisburg, Pa. He was educated at the Harris- burg Academy at such a period as those who passed through it, from 1816 until 1826, know that the whole land was stricken with poverty, and collegiate education out of the question. Indeed, out of the thirty students of the classics at the academy, and among them the son of Governor Findlay, but one is remembered who went, or could afford to go, to college. With such an education as the school could afford, and the study of history on top of it, Hamilton Alricks com- menced reading law with Samuel Douglas, Esq., afterward At- torney-General, and was admitted to practice in 1828. During his professional career of half a century, Mr. Alricks has been engaged, at every term of the court, in the trial of many of the most important civil and criminal cases, and in nu- merous cases in the Supreme Court, as the reports will show from 2d Watts to the last volume of Outerbridge. In the outset of his practice, he was engaged as counsel by Mr. Gest,in the case of Gest vs. Espy, 2d Watts, 266, after Thomas Elder, Esq., a senior member of the bar, had abandoned the case, upon a verdict being found for defendant. Mr. Alricks removed the case to the Supreme Court, where he succeeded in reversing the judgment. On one occasion, in arguing a case in the Supreme Court, and while reading an authority, he was abruptly interrupted by Judge Huston, saying, "That is not the law." "But," said Mr. Alricks, "I am citing from the opinion of the court." Judge Huston sharply responded: "I don't care; no judge ever declared such to be the law." To which Mr. Alricks further replied : "I have been reading the opinion of the court delivered by your Honor." "Then, said the judge, ' ' the reporter took me down wrong ; let me see the book." After examining it for some time, the judge closed it with the remark, "After all, I don't think this authority has any application to the case in hearing. ' ' Proceedings were commenced before the Legislature of Pennsylvania, about the year 1845, and testimony taken for the purpose of framing 24 Pennsylvania Genealogies. articles of impeacliment against the Hon. William N. Irvine, judge of the York and Adams judicial district, and the only counsel of the respondent was Mr. Alricks, who conducted the defense with such skill and ability that the committee refused to report articles. The then State Treasurer and Auditor Gen- eral on several occasions selected Mr. Alricks to argue cases on the part of the Commonwealth involving questions of Con- stitutional law. His argument before the Supreme Court of the United States, in Butler ei al., late Canal Commissioners of Pennsylvania, vs. the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, loth Howard, United States Supreme Court Reports, 402, was not only well received by the profession as a sound exposition of the law as to what constitutes a contract within the meaning of the Tenth Section of the First Article of the Constitution of the United States, prohibiting a State from passing any law impairing the obligation of contracts, but also an able defini- tion of the power of the Legislature to create and abolish offices, to impose taxes, etc.; and will remain a lasting memo- rial of his research, industry, and ability as a lawyer. He was one year a member of the L,egislature ; was a member of the Chicago Convention in 1864, which nominated General Mc- Clellan for President, and the series of resolutions drawn up and offered in the convention by him abounded in patriotic sentiments, evincing marked ability. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention for the revision of the Constitution of the State, in 1872-3, that held its sessions first in Harrisburg and subsequently in Philadelphia, and acted on the committees on Cities and Charters, and on Religious and Charitable Cor- porations and Societies. Mr. Alricks married, December 28, 1837, Caroline Bull, daughter of Rev. I^evi Bull, D. D., of Chester county. Pa., a son of Colonel Thomas Bull, of Revo- tionary fame. She was bom August 3, 181 1 ; d. February 28, 1885, at Harrisburg, Pa. They had issue : i. Annie-Bull, b. October 6, 1838 ; d. April 26, 1888 ; m. June 8, 1864, Benjamin Law Forster. (see Forster record.) ii. Martha, b. May 24, 1840 ; d. January 10, 1866. Hi. Caroline- Jacobs, d. s. p. iv. Levi-Bull, b. October 15, 1843; m. first, October 1, 1872, Anna Henderson ; d.

September 19, 1846 ; d. September 28, 1849. VIII. Janb Alricks," (James,* Hermanus,* Wessels,' Pieter,'' Pieter,') b. i8o8 at Oakland Mills, in I^ost Creek Val- ley, now Juniata county. Pa.; d. December 21, 1891, at Harris- burg; m. Ovid Frazer Johnson, b. in the year 1807, in the Valley of Wyoming, near the town of Wilkes- Barre ; d. Feb- ruary, 1854, in Washington, D. C. He was descended from some of the early settlers of that historic locality. His paternal grandfather, the Rev. Jacob Johnson, was a superior linguist and man of rich education and culture ; a graduate of Yale College, he took his degree as early as 1740, with distinguished honor. In 1778, he was called from his home in Connecticut to reside in Wilkes- Barre. After that terrible event, the massacre of Wyoming, he assisted Col. Dennison with his advice and influence, in protecting the inhabitants that re- mained, and the original articles of capitulation were in the proper handwriting of Mr. Johnson. In quite a lengthy biography written of him in the year 1836, by the his- torian of Wyoming, Charles Miner, appears this : ' ' When the Revolutionary war broke out, Mr. Johnson took his stand early and firmly in behalf of freedom. And through the whole contest he rendered the utmost service in his power, which, from his learning, talents, and the respect he com- manded, was very considerable. A son born while the ani- mated discussions preceding the Revolution were going on, and the elder Pitt was thundering his anathemas against ministers for their tyrannous conduct to the Colonies, Mr. Johnson named Jehoiada Pitt. . . Jehoiada is sometime since deceased, but a son of his with hereditary genius is winning his way to enviable distinction." The latter is the subject of this sketch. At the close of his early education, in which he had as school and class-mates many who afterwards rose to positions of emi- nence and distinction, he commenced the study of the law with John N. Conyngham, of Wilkes-Barre, afterwards Judge Conyngham. He was duly admitted to the bar and entered 26 Pennsylvania Genealogies. into the practice of the law at that place. In 1833, he removed to Harrisburg, and there married. In 1839, at the early age of thirty -two years, his talent secured for him the appointment as attorney general of Pennsylvania . In 1 842 , his term of office having expired, he was re-appointed and served through a second term until 1845. As an orator, Mr. Johnson was bril- liant; as a lawyer, he had superior abilities, and somewhat of a wide-known reputation, being frequently employed to try cases in different States of the Union. It may be here remarked that, in addition to Mr. Johnson's legal ability, he had a high reputation as a political writer. He was the author of the celebrated "Governor's I^etters," published during the admin- istration of Governor Ritner, and which purported to give the ludicrous side to the political characters then figuring in the politics of the State.

Novembei 17, 1678, in Scotland; was educated at Edinburgh, under the care of Principal Stirl- ing. He was ordained by Irvine Presbytery, November 17, 1708, with a view to his settlement in Virginia. He sailed March 6, 1709, and arrived in the Rappahannock on the 2 2d of April following ; but the condition of affairs not being favorable for introducing any other religion than that of the established Church of England in that Colony, he came north- ward, and was received by the Presbyter5- September 20 fol- lowing. He settled at New Castle, where he was installed pastor in 1 713. In 17 14, out of regard for the desolate condi- tion of the people in Kent county, he was directed to supply them monthly on a Sabbath, and also to spend a Sabbath at Cedar Creek, in Sussex. In 17 16, receiving a call from the first church organization of New York city, he went there and labored with his accustomed zeal and energy ; but his strict Presbjrterianism and rigid Scottish habits and doctrines were distasteful to the people, and his charge, consequently, did not. prove to be happy or comfortable, and he desired a removal. He was called, September 24, 1726, to Donegal, on the Susque- hanna, and accepted. He was installed the last "Wednesday in August, 1727. In September, 1729, he gave every fifth Sabbath to the people on Swatara, and joined the congregation of Derry, thus becoming the first settled pastor over that church, until the call to Rev. William Bertram, in 1732. He died July 16, 1740. In the language of Presbytery, " he was high in esteem for circumspection, diligence, and faithfulness as a Christian minister. ' ' His name and fame are associated with the early history of the Presbjrterian church in America. He was a man of talent, learning, and piety, a graceful and popular preacher — a leader among men.

James Anderson's Bible, (Imprint " Edinburgh, A. D. 1676,") on which was recorded the family registry, is copied the following imperfect list of births and deaths. In his will he names only James, Susannah and Thomas, but refers to all his children.

John Elder, Timothy Green, Jr.,* b. September 7, 1765, in Han- * Timothy Geeen, son of Robert Green, was born about 1733, on the " Monoday," Hanover township, Lancaster, now Dauphin county, Pa.; d. February 27, 1812, at Dauphin Pa., and is buried in the old graveyard there. His father, of Scotch ancestry, came from the north of Ireland about 1725, locating near the Kittochtinny moun- tains on Manada creek. The first record we have of the son is sub- sequent to Braddock's defeat, when the frontier settlers were threat- ened with extermination by the marauding savages. Timothy Green assisted in organizing a company, and for at least seven years was chiefly in active service in protecting the settlers from the fury of the blood-thirsty Indians. In the Bouquet expedition he commanded a company of Provincial troops. For his service at this time, the Awl of Paxtang. 39 over township, now Dauphin county, Pa.; d. in 1820, at Chillicothe, O., where he was among the earliest settlers. We have the following account of that wedding : " On the morning of the wedding, the party accompanying Mr. Green came riding ' down the lane ' to Mr. Awl's house, all in the style of the day. The groom wore his hat with three black plumes, long stockings, knee-breeches, buckles, &c. It was a gay affair for those days. On the Sunday following, all went to the Rev. Mr. Elder's church. Jenny Awl, sister of Proprietaries granted him large tracts of land in Buffalo valley and on Bald Eagle creek. At the outset of the Revolution, Captain Green became an earnest advocate for independence, and the Hanover resolutions of June 4, 1774, passed unanimously by the meeting of which he was chairtnan, show that he was intensely patriotic. He was one of the Committee of Safety of the Province, which met November 22, 1774, in Lancaster, and issued hand-bills to the import that " agreeable to the resolves and recommendations of the Ameri- can Continental Congress, that the freeholders and others qualified to vote for representatives in Assembly choose, by ballot, sixty per- sons for a Committee of Observation, to observe the conduct of all persons towards the actions of the General Congress ; the committee, when elected, to divide the country into districts and appoint mem- bers of the committee to superintend each district, and any six so appointed to be a quorum, etc." Election was held on Thursday, 15th December, 1774, and, among others, Timothy Green was elected from Hanover. This body of men were in correspondence with Joseph Reed, Charles Thompson, George Clymer, John Benezet, Samuel Meredith, Thomas Mifflin, etc., of Philadelphia, and others. They met at Lancaster again, April 27, 1775, when notice was taken of General Gage's attack upon the inhabitants of Massachusetts Bay, and a general meeting called for the 1st of May, at Lancaster. Upon the erection of the county of Dauphin, Colonel Green was the oldest justice of the peace in commission, and, under the Constitu- tion of 1776, he was presiding justice of the courts. He continued therein until, under the Constitution of 1790, which required the presiding judge " to be learned in the law," Judge Atlee was ap- pointed. After his retirement. Judge Green returned to his quiet farm at the mouth of Stony creek, where he had erected a mill and other improvements. He was thrice married : m. first, in 1760, Effy Finney Robinson, daughter of James and Jean Finney, and widow of Thomas Robinson. She d.

The father of Robert Sterret settled in Hanover about 1741, but subsequently removed to the old homestead in Donegal. The Sterrets however, became allied to many of the Hanover families, and the history of this family would elucidate much of the history of the others. Robert Sterret and Rosanna Green removed to the Kishacoquillas valley, where some of their de- scendants yet reside. They had a large family, seven sons and six daughters.

At first located near Lancaster, Ohio., in 1825 ; but shortly after removed to Somerset, in that State. In 1833, he went to Columbus, and was appointed physician at the State prison. While acting in that capacity, the lamentable condition of the few insane persons there confined for want of a better asylum, first awoke in him a desire to ameliorate their condition. Out of this sym- pathy came his suggestion, in 1835, for the organiza- tion of the Ohio Medical Association, through which grew all, save one, of the benevolent institutions of that State. Upon the incorporation of the Ohio Lunatic Asylum in 1837, he was appointed, first, a director, and afterwards superintendent. He occupied the position for twelve years, resigning in 1850. In 1844, at the meeting of the American Medical Association, Dr. Awl first proposed the education of feeble-minded persons. Governor Todd, in 1862, appointed him superintendent of the State Capitol, which office he held six years. In his declining years, he served as physician to the Ohio Institution for the Blind, which he had been largely instrumental in organizing. He was alike useful, dis- tinguished and respected in the church. He was a member of the First Presbyterian church of Columbus, and chosen an elder in 1856, in which office he served to the day of his death with distinguished devotion and fidelity. Dr. Awl m.

Samuel Ayres, of the county Antrim, Province of Ulster, Ireland, bom of Scottish Covenanter ancestors, arrived in Philadelphia, with his wife and daughters, in 1745. The voyage across the ocean was protracted, causing much suffer- ing for want of water. His wife was Margaret Richmond, of same county, who died in Philadelphia in 1746. He then moved to the Scotch-Irish settlement at Deep Run, Bucks county, Pa., where he died in 1747. They had issue, all born in Ireland : 2. i. William, b. 1720; m. Mary Kean. ii. John, d. young. Hi.

In the year 1773, William Ayres with all his family, excepting Samuel and Charles, who remained in the old locality, moved to the West, then in Paxtang township, Lan- caster county, now Middle Paxtang, Danphin county.

In the map of purchase from the Indians, only twenty-four years previously (1749), the country west of the mountain is entitled " Saint Anthony's wilderness." He was several times elected to township offices.

Joseph Barnett,' (John,^ John,') b. 1726, in County Derry, Ireland. He married in 1749, Elizabeth Graham. Concerning him and his family, we have these incidents of pio- neer life in 1757, communicated in a letter by the late Samuel Barnett, of Springfield, O. " Mr. Barnett's son William, with a son of Mr. Mackey, a neighbor, of Hanover, were taken pris- oners by a band of prowling Indians. The parents of the boys tried in vain to raise a party to pursue the savages, and rescue the captives, but could obtain no assistance. Mr. Barnett and Mr. Mackey, however, armed with rifles, mounted their horses "64 Pennsylvania Genealogies. ■and went in pursuit. They came up to the Indians, several in number, between Hugh Grimes' (Graham's) farm and Beaver -creek, likely, not more than three-fourths of a mile from Hugh Grimes, immediately in the neighborhood of where Thomas Bell, Squire Wilson, and grandfather Allen lived. They fired on the Indians, who returned it briskly. Mr. Barnett and Mr. Mackey were near together. Mackey in putting down the huUet in his rifle observed that he run down the buUett hard to kill dead. By this time the savages were close on them, and just as Mackey presented his gun a bullet passed through his arm, and his rifle fell to the ground. At this moment an Indian near by picked up his gun and shot Mackey dead. By this time Mr. Barnett had received a shot in his arm and one in the shoulder. This bullet he carried with him to the grave. So Mr. Barnett retreated. By this time he reached a little east of where Mr. Grimes lived, and between his house and Robert Elder's, he got faint from loss of blood, when he dismounted •and hid himself in a field of buckwheat. I give the names of -Grimes and Elder, as they occupied these farms in my day. 'Grandfather Barnett resided east of these farms. His horse Tan home, and the neighborhood turned out. As they passed ■along the road Mr. Barnett got out of his hiding and resting place. He had but little use of his arm the rest of his days. I will continue the history of the captive boys. The Indians iad left their encampment before they were sighted by the party who went in pursuit. They passed up Beaver creek toward the mountain, then through an orchard once owned by Andrew Kerr, afterwards Samuel Finney. The Indians told the boys to take plenty of apples as they were the last they -would get for a length of time. They then took to the mountain, ■and this was the last of the boys. Tedious days, nights, and years passed away. For nearly seven years a kind Providence, who hears and answers the prayers of his children, watched over the boys. It appears the Indians had their cabins on or near the head waters of the Allegheny river, on a branch •called something like Miskelitas. At length an Indian trader discovered the party who held William Barnett and Mackey. They, with the boys, had been several times across what is now Bamett Family. 65 tlie State of Ohio to Detroit. This Indian trader was employed by Grandfather Barnett to procure William, for which he was to give the trader an elegant horse. * * * * it was with some difficulty the traders got him away, William not being very willing to leave at first, and the squaw who had him to part with him. At last he succeeded, and was returning with him. Mr. Bamett went to Carlisle, on his way to meet them, and stopped at the same tavern which his son had reached the early part of the evening. The boy was tired traveling, and had retired. When this became known Mr. Barnett desired to see him, but the landlord at first objected ; but a fond father, who had not beheld his son for seven years, who had been the sub- ject of anxious thoughts and prayers, now answered, could not be put off until the morrow. The son awakened from his sleep knew his father and embraced him. As may be readily supposed there was great rejoicing in Hanover, not only in the houses of the Bametts, but all through the country, at the re- turn of the captive. Young Mackey was sold to a Frenchman at Detroit, afterwards taken to England, and at the outset of the war of the Revolution came over with the British troops, and subsequently reached his home in old Hanover. His mother was yet living ; but she insisted that her son was killed by the Indians, and would not own him. He assured her that he was her boy ; when, at length, she told him that if he was her son he had a scar on his leg firom a cut, that she would know. This was .shown her, when she acknowledged that he was her long-lost child. ' ' There is extant an extended account of this thrilling episode in frontier life ; but Mr. Bar- nett's simple story differs little in detail thereof. Joseph Bar- nett, d.

Mr. Waugh was licensed to preach by the Baltimore Conference ; but accepted the position of Pro- fessor of Mathematics and English Literature in the Baltimore Female College, an institution then in the full tide of success. In 1853, the trustees of the Pennsylvania Female College at Harrisburg secured him as principal of that institution, in which position he labored faithfully and successfully to the day of his death. It was not alone in the capacity of teacher that Mr. Waugh devoted his energies and talents ; but his labors were varied, incessant, faithful, in season and out of season, *Beverly Wadgh, b. October 25, 1789, in Fairfax county, Va.; d. February 9, 1858, in the city of Baltimore, Md. He was the son of James Waug-h and Henrietta Turley, and received a good classical education. In his twentieth year he was admitted to trial as a traveling- minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church, and, in 1810, had charge of the Greenbrier circuit, Virginia. In 1811, he was ordained a deacon, and in 1813, an elder, and stationed in Baltimore. From that period until 1828, he was in active pnstoral life. That year he was elected assistant book-agent, head-quarters in New York city, and in 1832, the principal in that work. In 1836, he was chosen a bishop of the church, and in 1852, became the senior officer of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1857, he presided over six confer- ences scattered from the Atlantic seaboard to Michigan and Indiana, besides aiding his colleagues in three or four others. During his term of episcopal service, his toil and peril, fatigue and suffering, were very great ; but always without complaint. He was a faithful Soldier of the Cross, and universally loved and respected. He was a man of God— a consistent Christian, a devoted minister and scrupu- lous in the performance of every known duty.

William Boj.s,' son of Frederick Boas/ was born in 1739, in t he Cantod of Zu rich, not far from the city of Berne, Switzerland. He was ot tiie Reformed faith, as "all his fathers were,'" some of his ancestors being distinguished min- isters in the church of Zwingli. William passed through a regular course of scientific and theological training at the University of Halle, after which he, in 1770, came to America under the auspices of the congregations at Berne, but not with the necessary credentials from the Fathers of the Reformed church in Holland, from whom that denomination in this country reqeived its authority. In the Cotal minutes of the Reformed church for the year 1771, mention is made of the fact that he "had been joyfully expected from Europe for several years ; that he had now arrived, but that Cotus felt disappointed because he brought no testimonials with him ; that they declined, on that account, receiving him. ' ' However, the congregation at Reading, Pa., earnestly petitioned Cotus that he might be given them as their pastor, because they had been so long destitute. The Fathers in Holland were very tenacious of their rights, and warned Cotus against acknowl- edging the Reverend Boas a member, but had the considera- tion, in 1773, to say : " As Pennsylvania is a free country, we cannot drive him away from his congregation," by whom he was dearly loved. He labored faithfully in the Master's vine- yard, and Cotus, in a letter to the Fathers, under date of May, 1777, bestowed the highest praise upon Rev. Mr. Boas, stating " that his congregation in Reading is in a most flourishing con- dition, through his industry and zeal ; that he is at this time a learned and expert laborer in the kingdom of Christ ; that he is beloved, not only in Reading, but by all the members of Cotus." About the year 1781, he resigned the charge of the Reading church, to which he had been a faithful pastor for Boas Family. 99 ten years. He afterward appears to have had charge of the same congregation at Reading, for in the record -books of the church in Cocalico, I^ancaster county, Pa., we find that " the Rev. Mr. Boas, of the Reading congregation, on the 15th of September, 1786, preached the funeral sermon of Reverend John Waldschmid, from Psalm Ixxiii. 23, 24." During the Revolution, when every able-bodied man (save those having conscientious scruples) was enlisted in the patriotic cause, the Rev. Mr. Boas served a tour as chaplain to one of the asso- ciated battalions of Berks county, namely, that in and around Philadelphia in the summer of 1777. He did not cease his pastoral work until late in life, but was the same devout and earnest minister of the New Testament. He was a good, earn- est preacher, had a remarkably strong voice, and nothing could move him from the path of duty. Full of years he d. Novem- ber 28, 1814, at Reading, Pa., and is there buried.

He was an enterprising cit- izen, active and influential in the public affairs of the munici- pality from 1830 to 1850, and in the church, of which he and his wife were consistent members, (the first Methodist,) prom- inent and zealous.

In 1829 and 1830 he was a mercantile clerk, and after- 104 Pennsylvania Genealogies. ward went oiie year to school. The latter part of 1831 he was again in mercantile life, in which he remained until August, 1832, when he entered the post-office at Harrisburg, under James Peacock. In the meantime he studied law under his uncle, David Krause, and was admitted to the Dauphin county bar, August 22, 1837. He opened his law office in 1838, but remained connected with the post-office department until 1843, assisting in the accounts, etc. In that year he entered into law partnership with David Krause, under the firm name of Krause & Boas. In 1845 Mr. Krause was appointed presiding judge of the Montgomery county district, from which time Mr. Boas continued the practice of his profession ; he was ap- pointed by Governor Porter aid on his staff, with the rank of colonel, which he held from 1839 to 1845 ; was school director from 1839 to 1848, being treasurer of the board from 1840 to 1842, and also served in the borough council six years, from 1847 to 1853.

William Wesley Jennings, ° (Elmina-Elizabeth,* Frederick,' William,' Frederick,') b. July 22, 1838, in Har- risburg, Pa.; d. February 28, 1894. He attended the public schools of Harrisburg until his fifteenth year, when he com- menced to learn the trade of iron-molder in his father's foundry. From i860 to 1875 he was engaged in the iron busi- ness. During the war of the Rebellion he raised the One Hun- dred and Twenty-seventh Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, a nine months' regiment, and was in the battles of Fredericks- burg and Chancellorsville. (For a history of the regiment, see History of Dauphin county, Pa., p. 202.) Shortly after being mustered out of service, the Gettysburg campaign opened, and Colonel Jennings was placed in command of the Twenty -sixth Regiment, Pennsylvania Militia. The following account con- cerning it we have from Jacobs' ' ' Battle of Gettysburg : " " The Twenty-sixth regiment arrived at Gettysburg on Friday the 26th of June, and by order of Major Haller, although contrary to the earnest remonstrances of Jennings, colonel of the regiment, was sent forward at 10.30 a. m., on the Chambersburg turnpike. Boas Family. 105 This was a suicidal movement of a handful chiefly of inexpe- rienced men, in the face of a large body of experienced troops. The rebels afterwards laughed at the folly of the order. But, advancing to the distance of about three miles westward, our little band encamped and threw out their pickets. At about 3 p. m., the rebels in force made their appearance, and cap- tured nearly all their pickets, forty in number. Colonel Jen- nings, who had on several occasions shown himself to be an officer as skillful as he is cool and brave, seeing the trap into which he had been led, immediately, upon sight of the enemy, divided the regiment into three squads, in order to deceive them with the appearance of a large body of infantry. The deception proved so far successful that the rebels did not press them, fearing that a direct attack might prove more serious than a mere skirmish. Jennings' command, however, hastily retreated eastward over the fields and by country roads, occa- sionally skirmishing with the enemy's cavalry, which was sent in prursuit of them ; and after losing one hundred and twenty men of their number near Hunterstown, and zigzagging very firequently, being often within hearing distance of their pursu- ers, they reached Harrisburgon Sunday the 27th of June, much fatigued, having marched fifty-four out of sixty continuous hours. Too much praise cannot be awarded Colonel Jennings for the skillful manner in which he conducted this retreat and saved the regiment from capture. ' ' From 1 863 to 1 866, Colonel Jennings served as sheriff of the county of Dauphin, and again firom 1876 to 1879. At the breaking out of the railroad riots in July, 1877, Colonel Jennings was absent from home, but, hastening to the State capital, he at once assumed control, or- ganized the citizens, and restored peace to the city, seriously threatened with mob violence. His example was favorably com- mented upon at the time, not only by the newspaper press in general, but by the Governor of the State in his annual mes- sage, and was deserving of all praise. Upon the death of Mr. Calder, president of the First National Bank of Harrisburg, in 1880, he was elected to that position, in which he continued until his decease, and also president of the Commonwealth Guarantee Trust and Safe Deposit Company. In 1884, he was 106 Pennsylvania Genealogies. chosen a director of the Cumberland Valley Railroad Company. Colonel Jennings m., December 17, 1861, Emma Van Horn, Ta. November 26, 1842.

Bamberger Family. 107 BOMBERGER FAMILY. I. Christian Bomberger,^ and Maria, his wife, emigrated from Eshelbnin, Baden, Germany, and arrived in Pennsylvania on the 1 2th day of May, 1722. He took up and settled upon a tract of land in Warwick township, Ivancaster county, a por- tion of which remains in the possession of his descendants to this day. The original patent bears date May 22, 1734, andin- cluded 548 acres in the survey. This patent is now in the hands of reverend Christian Bomberger, a preacher of the Mennonite church. The first Christian died prior to 1750, and left, among other children : 2. i. John, b. 1703 ; m. Mary Bausman. 3. M. Christian; m.. a,ndih.aA issne. II.

He received the rudiments of a German education at Lititz, and was brought up on his father's farm. During the Provincial era, he served as an officer in the Second battalion of the Pennsylvania troops, under General Forbes and Colonel Bouquet. During the Revolution, he was some time in service, but turn- ing his attention to religion, he began to study such theological works as were within his reach. After the peace of 1783, he went into the "Western country, and for many years missionated among the Indians in the Northwest. During the war of 1812-14, well ad- vanced in life, he returned to Pennsylvania, and re- mained with his friends. He died near Harrisburg, Pa. , on the 4th of August, 1829, at the age of eighty-five, and was buried in Shearer's burying-ground. The 108 Pennsylvania Genealogies. labors of Mr. Bomberger, for many years, were of that self-sacrificing spirit and devotedness which proved that others there were beside the zealous Jesuit and the faithful Moravian whose religious fervor and Christ- like example stand out as shining lights in the galaxy of the followers of the doctrines and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.

His father dying when he was four years of age, he went to his paternal grandmother's, to whom he was indebted for his careful training during childhood and 174 Pennsylvania Genealogies. youth. He was educated in the public and private schools of Harrisburg, and at the Harrisburg Military Institute. In 1848 he was tendered the appointment of midshipman in the United States Navy, but declined the honor. At the close of his school life he spent three years in the office of the Pennsylvania Tele- graph, during most of which time he was foreman of the estab- lishment. Subsequently he had charge of the State Printing Office. In 1853, having been a frequent correspondent to the monthly magazines, he undertook the editorship of the Liter- ary Companion (which was discontinued at the end of six months), editing at the same time the Daily Times, afterwards merged into one of the other newspaper ventures of Harrisburg. In 1854 he began the study of medicine with Charles C. Bom- baugh, M. D., of Harrisburg. During this period he was also assistant teacher in the Boys' school, of the then North ward, afterward becoming mailing clerk in the postoffice. In the fall of 1857 he resigned this position and entered the Medical Depart- ment of the University of Pennsylvania, from which institution he was graduated in March, 1859. The same year established himself at Harrisburg, and was in the practice of his profession there, when in 1862, after the battles of Chantilly and the sec- ond Bull Run he went to Washington in response to a telegram from General Russell, of Pennsylvania, to assist in the care of the wounded. In September of that year he was commissioned assistant surgeon of the Ninety-sixth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, and in the summer of 1863, surgeon in the Forty- seventh Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Militia. At the close of service with the latter command, he resumed his pro- fession, but afterwards accepted the appointment of surgeon of Volunteers by President I 1797. Jane Glen, d. March i, 1841.

Pa., where his early years were passed. His boyhood was marked by a laud- able ambition to excel in his studies, and the influence of his mother in this direction had its good effect, not only during his youth, but throughout his life. Thrown upon his own re- sources, at the age of eighteen, he resolved to educate himself by alternately acting as teacher and pupil, and pursued this 242 Pennsylvania Genealogies. course for seven years, thereby becoming conversant with the higher mathematics, the ancient languages, and French. Much of his time was passed in the States of Kentucky and Ohio. About 1835 he commenced the study of medicine, and gradu- ated at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, in March, 1838. For four years he practiced his profession, but finding the duties too arduous for his slender constitution, his attention was drawn to the science of dental surgery, then comparatively in its infancy. Observing the necessity for good operators in this field, he went to Philadelphia and acquired a thorough knowl- edge of that specialty. Returning to Harrisburg, he met with deserved and well-marked success. During the remainder of his life he was a frequent contributor to both medical and den- tal journals, and occasionally to the newspaper press. He was a member of the Pennsylvania Association of Dental Surgeons and of the American Society, and one of the original advo- cates of the establishment of a dental college at Philadelphia, in which he was subsequently tendered a professorship, but de- clined.

In 1854 he was elected district attorney. In 1863 elected to the State Senate, and was Speaker of that body at the closing session of the term.

I., in 1777. He received a classical education, and came to Pennsyl- vania about 1800, and engaged in teaching. In 1808 he began the publication of the Temperate Zone, at Downingtown, Chester county.

This paper he eventually disposed of to Gen. Simon Cameron, who had been associated with him as co-partner in its management, in order that he might assume the duties of Canal Commissioner, to which he had been appointed by Governor Shulze.

Eleanor Collier. III. John Murray,' (John,') b. about 1691, in Scotland; emigrated to the Province of Pennsylvania in 1732 in company with his brother and other friends. On the loth of January, 1737, he obtained a land warrant from the Proprietaries of Pennsylvania, and on the " 14th of ye 9th month," 1739, had the same located upon two hundred acres and twelve perches of land adjoining the northwest side of ' ' Swahatawro ' ' (Swatara) creek , then in Hanover township , Lancaster county , Pa . Adam Read, an early settler and prominent in frontier times, held an adjoining tract on the north by improvement. On the first of March, 1744, John l^turray obtained another warrant, which Murray of Swatara. 527 •was located, about a year afterward, east of the other tract, and between it and land of James Stewart. This latter tract is now within the limits of IIrs. Maria L. Bigham; Eliza, m. Christopher Cowan, and was the mother of Mrs. Mary Wrenshall, Mrs. Ebbs, and Mrs. Swartzwelder ; Amelia- Louisa, m.

The children of General Neville were : 2. i. Presley, b. September 6, 1755 ; m. Nancy Morgan, 3. ii. Amelia, b. 1768 ; m. Major Isaac Craig. II. Presley Neville,' (John,^ George,^) b. September 6, 1755, at Winchester, Va.; d. December i, 1818, at his resi- dence near Neville, Clermont county, Ohio, thirty miles above Cincinnati. After graduating at the University of Philadel- phia, with distinguished reputation for classical attainments, he entered the army in 1775, in the twentieth year of his age, as a lieutenant in the company commanded by his father, Gen. John Neville. He quickly rose to the rank of major, and, as such, became aid-de-camp to the Marquis de I,afayette. Similarity of feeling and manners created an ardent friend- ship between these accomplished, and, at that time, young officers, which continued uninterrupted, and retained Major Neville in the family of the Marquis two years. In January, 1780, the Fourth Virginia regiment, commanded by his father, Gen. John Neville, was ordered to Charleston, S. C, with Presley Neville as lieutenant-colonel. He was made prisoner at the surrender of Charleston, and returned thence to Vir- ginia on parole, but was exchanged before the close of the war. Presley Neville took part in the battles of Trenton, Princeton, Brandy wine, German town, and Monmouth. At Monmouth he had a horse killed under him. After his mar- riage, he moved to a property he owned on Chartier's creek, called Woodville. In 1792 he removed to Pittsburgh, where he resided until 18 16. Presley Neville was always honored with the friendship of General Washington, and held many of the most confidential offices under the general and State gov- ernments. An obituary notice of him by Mr. Ormsby in the Pittsburgh Gazette, of December 18, 1818, says: "It falls to the lot of but few men to enjoy so great a degree of personal popularity, as has attended the subject of this notice through life. He was favored by Providence with the possession of an 544 Pennsylvania Genealogies. ample fortune, which enabled him to indulge to excess a be- nevolence as warm and as expansive as ever glowed in a mortal breast. It had a fault ; it was too lavish for prudential max- ims to mingle in its council, and too honorable to doubt the rectitude of its ardent impulses. I^ike most generous men, he suffered dearly for his liberality ; but he repined not at this dispensation of Providence, nor repented of those acts which he performed with pleasure and reflected on with pride. He was admired by his equals, respected by his inferiors, and loved by all who knew him ; the oppressed clung to him for support, and the prayers of the needy ascended to heaven in his favor He breathed his last on the banks of the Ohio, not surrounded by all the comforts of life, for this would have been too great a happiness for an old sol- dier, but he drew his last sigh surrounded by his children, on the soil granted to him for his Revolutionary services. At the present day the remembrance of those services are of little value, except as a theme of pride to his descendants ; but the future historian will rank him among those heroes to whom his country owes her independence." There are some inci- dents in the life of I^ouis Phillipe, connected with the Nevilles, so creditable to him, that they are here introduced : ' ' About the year 1796 the Duke of Orleans, afterwards I,ouis Phillipe, King of France, accompanied by his two brothers, Montpen- sier and Beaujolais, came to the western country. On arriv- ing at Pittsburgh, then a small village, they found one or two emigres, who had formerly filled prominent stations under the ancienne regime, but who were now earning a scanty subsist- ence in carrying on some little business of merchandise. One of them, the Chevalier Du Bac, proposed to General Neville, whose house was always the temple of hospitality, where he was in the habit of dining every Sunday, and at whose table and fireside the unfortunate emigre was sure to find a hearty welcome, to introduce the travelers. The general at first re- ceived the proposition with coldness. He said he had been a soldier of the Revolution, the intimate of Rochambeau and I^afayette, and, of course, entertained a feeling of the deepest respect for the memory of the unfortunate I,ouis, not as a mon- Neville and Craig. 545 arch, but as a most amiable and virtuous man. He insisted that no good could spring from the infamous exciter of the Jacobins, the profligate Egalit6. But, "mon G6n6ral," (said the chevalier, with a shrug of the shoulders, and most melan- choly contortion of his wrinkled features,) ' ' ils sont dans les grande misere, et 'ils out €t6 chass6, comme nous autres, par ces vilains sans culottes." The chevalier knew his man, and the don hommie of the general prevailed. "Eh, bien ! cheva- lier, alez, rendre nos devoirs aux voyageurs, et qu'ils dinent chez nous demain." The strangers accepted his courtesy, and became intimate with and attached to the family of the kind- hearted American ; the charms of the conversation of the Duke of Orleans, and his various literary attainments, soon obliter- ated for the moment the horrible career of his father from the minds of the hearers. The brothers, on quitting Pittsburgh, left a most favorable impression on the minds of the little circle in which they were received so kindly. The recollec- tion of the amiable Beaujolais was particularly cherished ; and when the news of his death in Sicily, a few years after, reached the West, the family of General Neville expressed the sin- cerest sorrow." Many years later the Cincinnati Republican says : ' ' Immediately upon the landing of the Prince De Join- ville in this city he inquired for Morgan Neville, expressed a desire to see him, and regretted to hear of his death. Louis Phillipe, the father of the young Prince, when an exile in this country, became acquainted with Morgan Neville, then a lad residing at Pittsburgh, and with the late General Neville, his father, into whose house the exile was hospitably received. Ivouis Phillipe had remembered this little kindness amid the varied and embarrassing scenes of his life, and gave in charge of his son, when coming to this country, to find out Morgan Neville and renew his acquaintance." A few years later, another son of the general, " Captain Frederick Neville, of the United States navy, happened to enter the port of Marseilles ; Louis Phillipe hearing of it, sent for him and received him, with utmost kindness and attention, into his family. ' ' General Neville m., October 15, 1782, Nancy Morgan, of whom Breckinridge, in his Recollections of Persons and Places of the 546 Pennsylvania Genealogies. West, writing of Presley Neville, says: " He married the daughter of the celebrated General Morgan, an elegant and ac- complished lady, who blessed him with an offspring as num- erous and beautiful as the children of Niobe."

May 14, 1826, on Montour's Island, and is buried in the graveyard of the First Presbyterian church, Pittsburgh. He emigrated to America in 1765, and settled in Philadelphia, where he became a master-builder. In November, 1775, he received an appointment as ranking lieutenant of marines in the navy then being fitted out, and in that capacity served ten months on board the Andrew Doria, commanded by the gal- lant and unfortunate Nicholas Biddle. While on the Doria, that vessel formed one of the squadron of Commodore Hop- kins, which captured the two forts, Nassau and Montague, upon the island of New Providence, in the West Indies, cap- turing the governor and a large number of cannon and military stores, then much needed by the Americans, and subsequently used in the forts in Rhode Island and on the Delaware. On his return he received a captain's commission dated October 22, 1776. In the latter part of November the marines were ordered to join the army and do duty as infantry, and in that capacity, Captain Craig was present at the crossing of the Del- aware, the capture of the Hessians at Trenton, and at the battle of Princeton. On the 3d of March, 1777, he was appointed a captain in a regiment of artillery then formed, under the com- 548 Pennsylvania Genealogies. mand of Col. Thomas Proctor, in which he continued to serve until it was disbanded at the close of the Revolution. On the nth of September, 1777, he was engaged in the battle of Brandjrwine, where he was severely wounded. The ensu- ing month he was at the battle of Germantown, and his com- pany was one of those which cannonaded Chew's house, which was so gallantly defended by Major Musgrave. Having passed the ordeal of Valley Forge, early in the spring of 1778 Captain Craig and several other officers were ordered to Carlisle to learn the laboratory art, under the instruction of Capt. Isaac Coren, an officer of skill and experience. On the 29th of March, 1779, he was ordered to the command of the fort at Billings- port, on the Delaware, below Philadelphia. May 20th the reg- iment was ordered to Easton, and joined Sullivan in his expe- dition against the Six Nations, returning to Easton on the i8th of October following. The severe winter of 1779-80 he was with jthe army at Morristown, N. J. On the 20th of April, 1780,- Captain Craig was ordered to Fort Pitt with a detach- ment of artillery and military stores, where he arrived on the 25th of June. Here he continued in command of the artillery until the 29th of July, 1781, when he left his detachment for the Falls of Ohio (Louisville) to join General Clark in his intended expedition against Detroit. He returned to Fort Pitt the 26th of November. During his absence down the river, he had been promoted to the rank of major, from the 7th of October, 1781. In November, 1782, General Irvine received intelligence that the British had established a military post at Sandusky, and were about to establish one either at Cuyahoga or Grand river. He, therefore, ordered Major Craig to take with him the General's aid, Lieutenant Rose, and six active men, and proceed to Cuyahoga and Grand river, to as- certain whether the enemy were making such attempts. This order was eloquent in urging Major Craig to be cautious, and not be stimulated by his zeal for the service to venture too far, and concludes by saying: " One man falling into the hands of the enemy may not only ruin your whole present business, but also prevent future discovery." The major and his party started on their expedition on the 13th of November, taking Neville and Craig. 549 with tliem one horse, with a supply of provisions. They crossed the Big Beaver river at its mouth. Thence they pro- ceeded in a direction south of west, as if bound to the Indian town at the forks of Muskingum, pursuing that course until night, and then turned directly north, and traveled all night in that direction. This was done to mislead and elude the pur- suit of Indians who may have followed them. When they arrived, as they supposed, within a day's march of the mouth of the Cuyahoga, they left one man with the extra provisions. It was the intention, upon rejoining this man, to have taken a fresh supply of provisions, and then proceed to examine the mouth of Grand river. General Irvine had in his instructions treated this as a point of less importance than the Cuyahoga, but yet worthy of attention. The weather proved very unfa- vorable after the separation, and the Major, with his party, was detained beyond the appointed time, and the soldier, with the horse, had disappeared ; so that when they reached the desig- nated place, weary and half-famished, they found no relief, and had before them a journey of more than one hundred miles through a hostile wilderness. The examination of Grand river had to be abandoned, and the party was compelled to hasten back to Fort Pitt. Variable and tempestuous weather made the return journey laborious and painful. Pursuing the most direct course homeward, before they reached the Conoquenes- sing, the weather became extremely cold, and they found the stream frozen over, but the ice not firm enough to bear the weight of a man. They resorted to the following expedient as the best the circumstances allowed : A large fire was kindled on the northern bank, and when it was burning freely, the party stripped off their clothes ; one man took a heavy blud- geon to break the ice, while each of the others followed with portions of the clothes and arms in one hand and a fire-brand in the other. Upon reaching the southern bank of the stream, these brands were placed together and a brisk fire soon raised, by which the party dressed themselves. Upon reaching the Cranberry plains, they were delighted to find there a hunting party, consisting of Capt. Uriah Springer and other officers, and some soldiers from Fort Pitt. Here, of course, they were 550 Pennsylvania Genealogies. welcomed and kindly treated. They reached the fort on the 2d of December, and Major Craig reported that there was no sign of occupancy at the mouth of the Cuyahoga. At the very time the party were crossing the Conoquenessing, November the 30th, 1782, the Treaty of Peace between the United States and Great Britain was signed at Paris. The treaty was ratified by Congress on the 19th of April, 1783, and the disbandment of the army soon followed. Major Craig and Col. Stephen Bayard formed a partnership to carry on the mercantile busi- ness in Pittsburgh, and to deal in lands. On the 2 2d of Janu- ary, 1784, by articles of agreement, they purchased from the Penns the first ground that was sold within the limits of Pitts- burgh. In September, 1787, an act was passed by the legisla- ture incorporating the Presbyterian congregation of the town of Pittsburgh ; eleven trustees were named, of whom six were officers of the Revolutionary army, Major Craig being one. In the spring of 1788, Major Craig retired from business to Farm Hill, adjoining the farms of his father-in-law, and brother-in- law Col. Presley Neville. He remained there but a short time. When the National Government was organized, his old commander and true friend, Gen. Henry Knox, was ap- pointed the first Secretary of War, and in February, 1791, ofiered him the situation of quartermaster and military store- keeper at Pittsburgh, then a frontier town ; this he accepted and held until after the election of Jefferson. Major Craig, like the great majority of the officers of the Revolution, belonged to the party of which Washington and Hamilton were the leaders, and not very long after Jefferson came into power he was re- moved from office. After the declaration of war in 1812, his services were again sought for, when the knowledge acquired firom Captain Coren at Carlisle was found valuable in preparing munitions of war for the northwestern army. After this war he removed to Montour's Island, where he died. Major Isaac Craig had two brothers, James Craig, who resided in Phila- delphia, and died there of yellow fever, August 20, 1798 ; had a daughter Eliza, who m. Edward Gray ; their daughter, Elizabeth Gray, m. Hon. John P. Kennedy, Secretary of the Navy, under Fillmore ; John Craig, the other brother, was a Neville and Craig. 551 Loyalist ; he resided in New York ; his daughter, Ann Craig, who was very wealthy, died in Jersey City in 1875. Major Craig had a sister, Jane, who never married ; she died in New York. His father was agent for the earl of Hillsborough, and died at Hillsborough. Major Craig and his wife, Amelia Ne- ville, had issue, beside three children d. in infancy, (surname Craig): t. Harriet, b. December 26, 1785; d. May 29, 1867; m., July 6, 1809, John H.

A year subsequently we find him in the army of the Revolution as lieutenant of infantry, rendering important service at Tren- ton, Princeton, Brandy wine, and Germantown. At the close of the war he removed to a farm he purchased near Harrisburg, but shortly after, in 1787, began merchandizing in that town, and became one of the most prominent business men of the borough. He assisted in organizing the Presbyterian church at Harrisburg, and was one of the first ruling elders.

He was brought to this country at the age of ten by his uncle, the Rev. John Simonton, pastor of the Great Valley Presbyterian church, in Chester county, Pa. Under the direction of this uncle he received his academic and professional education. Soon after completing his medical course he entered upon the practice of his profession, but at what place is unknown. In 1784 he purchased a tract of land called " Antigua," contain- ing one hundred and eighty- two acres, situated in West Han- over township, from Joseph Hutchison. Upon this farm he resided all his life. All the traditions which have reached us concerning his standard as a physician, a man, and a Christian, are highly favorable. A fitting testimonial to his life, labors, and character was prepared by the Rev. James Snodgrass, pastor of Hanover church, and delivered on the occasion of his faneral. His remains, with those of his wife, are interred in old Hanover graveyard. They had issue (surname Sim- onton): t. Jean, m. [James] Clark. a. Thomas, m. Elizabeth ; removed to Greene county, Pa. Hi.

At the death of his father he was only twelve years of age. His early education was received under the direction of his mother, and consisted of the branches usually taught in the country schools of that period. As he was inclined to the medical profession, he studied I,atin under the tuition of the Rev. James R. Sharon, pastor of Derry and Paxtang churches. After the usual preliminary instruction under a private preceptor, he studied medicine with Dr. Samuel Meyrick, of Middletown, afterwards attending lectures of the Medical Department, University of Pennsylvania, in Philadel- * William Brandon, of Hanover, died in April, 1753, leaving a wife, Isabella, and children : James, Catharine, Ann, and William. 736 Pennsylvania Genealogies. phia, from which he received the degree of M. D. In the dis- tribution of property resulting from his father's death, the farm ' ' Antigua ' ' was equally divided between him and his brother, John W. Simonton. The latter occupied the homestead until his death in 1824, which occurred a few days previous to the death of his mother. After the erection of the necessary build- ings in 181 8, he took possession of his new home, where the remainder of his life was spent. While his time was devoted to the practice of medicine, the farming operations were car- ried on under his superintendence. He always took an interest in political affairs, and was accustomed to act with the Whigs in opposition to the Democrats, who had retained possession of the National Government from the election of Andrew Jackson in 1824. He was elected county auditor in 1823, serving three years, and in 1838 he was nominated as a candidate for Congress from the district then composed of the counties of Dauphin and Lebanon, and was elected by a large majority. He was re-elected in 1840. During the extra session of Con- gress, held in the summer of 1841, Dr. Simonton's health gave way. Having been accustomed to an active life and to exer- cise on horseback, strict attention to public business, with con- finement to the atmosphere of Washington during the heated term, so prostrated him physically that he was unable to attend regularly upon the sessions of 1842 and 1843. He never fully recovered his health, though he resumed his medical practice, which was continued nearly three years after the close of his congressional career. In person Dr. Simonton was five feet eleven inches in height, of good presence and proportions, with regular features and very black hair, which retained its color to the last. He was a modest, difi&dent man, but of a genial and friendly disposition. For some years previous to his death he was an elder of old Derry church, and while in Washing- ton a member of the Congressional prayer-meeting. He was a decided Presbyterian in his faith, and ever took a deep in- terest in the affairs of the denomination to which he belonged. He was a strict observer of the Sabbath, and of the services of the sanctuary. He maintained family worship, and was careful to give his children a religious training. He acquired Wiggins and Simovton. 737 a good reputation as a physician, and for many years had an extensive country practice. Dr. Simonton m. Martha Davis Snodgrass, b. 1790; d.

Pa., July 23, 1763. His grandfather came from the north of Ireland about the year 1700, locating in Bucks county, Pa. He graduated at the University of Pennsylvania in 1783 and was for a brief time a tutor therein. He studied theology under direction of the Rev. Nathaniel Irwin, then pastor of the church at Neshaminy, and was licensed to preach the gospel by the Presbytery of Philadelphia in December, 1785. After preaching about a year and a half in destitute places in the central and northern part of New York, on the 16th of October, 1787, he accepted the call of the Han. over congregation of May previous, and until his ordination on the 13th of May, 1788, he gave his attention to that church. At his in- stallation there were present of the Presbytery of Carlisle the re- vered and honored ministers Revs. John Elder, John Hoge, John Linn, John Craighead, Robert Cooper, and Samuel Waugh. His pas- torate extended over a period of fifty-eight years, and he was the last who ministered at Hanover. His death occurred July 2, 1846, and he lies interred in old Hanover church graveyard. The Rev. Snodgrass was twice married. His first wife, Martha, b. November 12, 1760; d_ December 20, 1828 ; his second wife, Nancy, b. in 1770 ; d.

It may be here recorded of him that every opinion handed down since he has held this important position has shown an intimate knowledge of the laws of his native State, much liter- ary ability, and acute perception of such facts as are necessary in considering cases, and in nearly every in- stance have been sustained by the higher court. 1 n 1895 the honorary degree of L.

December 9, 1867, at Si.o Paulo, Brazili South America. His classical education began in the Harrisburg Academy, under the tuition of the Rev. Mahlon Long. After two years preparatory study, he entered the College of New Jersey, from which he grad- uated in 1862, his scholarship and acquirements being of the first rank. In the autumn of the same year he went to the South, with his brother James, and took charge of an academy for boys in Starkville, Miss., where he taught with much success for eighteen months. In July, 1854, he returned lo Harrisburg and entered upon the study of the law. In the spring of 1855 he decided upon a theological course, and for this purpose prepared himself for entering the theological seminary at Prince- ton, which he did in September of that year. He was licensed to preach by Carlisle Presbytery, which met at Greencastle on the 14th of April, 1858. He had decided upon a missionary life, and after consultation and appli Wiggins and Simonton. 739 cation to the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, was ordered to Brazil. He was ordained by the Presby- tery of Carlisle, at Harrisburg, April 14, 1859, and, on the 19th of June following, sailed from Baltimore in the merchant ship ' ' Banshee " for Rio Janeiro. He arrived at the latter place on the 12th of August, and at once entered upon his field of labor. In the spring of 1862 he returned to the United States, married Helen Murdock, daughter of William Murdock,. of Baltimore, Md., on the 19th of March, 1863, and sailed for Brazil, May 23, 1863, reaching the harbor of Rio on the 16th of July. His wife died, after a short illness, on the 28th of July, 1864, which, to a missionary in a foreign land, was an incalculable loss. Towards the close of March, 1865, he made a missionary tour into the province of SSo Paulo, returning to his post in Rio early in May. Near the close of 1865, the Presbytery of Rio de Janeiro was or- ganized at S9.0 Paulo, that being the mission station of his brother-in-law, Rev. A. L. Blackford. It was soon perceived that his overtaxed energies began to give way under the gradual approaches of the disease which for- ever ended his earthly activities. Unable to continue his labors, he left Rio for the home of his sister, at S&o Paulo, the last week in November, 1867. No relief came, and, after a brief illness, he died the month fol- lowing. He was buried on the same day from the little church of S&o Paulo, two Englishmen and two Ameri- cans ofBciating as pall-bearers, addresses being made in Portuguese by Rev. Mr. Blackford and Rev. Emanuel Pires. 740 Pennsylvania Genealogies. WILSON, lEISH SETTLEMEI^T. 1. Thomas Wilson,* ancestor of Hugh, was an officer in King William's army, among the first to cross the river Boyne, on horseback, on the morning of the ist of July, 1690. He was specially rewarded for this bravery, with a grant of land. He resided in county Cavan, Ireland, having an extensive bleach- green within a mile of Coote Hill, not far from the county town. His ancestors had emigrated from Scotland to Ireland . Thomas had but one son : 2. i. Hugh, b. 1689 ; m. Sarah Craig. II. Hugh Wii,son,' (Thomas,') b. 1689, in county Cavan, Ireland ; m.

His home lay northwest of what is now known as Howertown, in Allen township, Northampton county. Pa. His land com- prised seven hundred and thirty acres, to which he obtained title March 7, 1737, and June 29, 1738. He erected a flouring mill which was only torn down in the spring of 1857. Upon the erection of Northampton county, March 11, 1752, he was one of the commissioners named in the act to purchase land at Kaston for the court house and prison, and was commissioned one of the justices of the peace for the county, June 9, 1752, and as such assisted in holding the first courts in Northampton county. His last commission as justice was issued March 15, 1766. He died in the autumn of 1773, and is buried in the old graveyard at the Settlement. He was a brother-in-law of Thomas Craig, the elder, who went to the Irish Settlement as early as 1728. They had issue : i.

Joshua Wyeth was one of the celebrated Boston tea party in 1773, at the time of the destruction of the British tea in Boston harbor ; he was a journeyman blacksmith in Boston, living with a Tory master, and owing to his being a young man, not much known in town, and not liable to be easily recognized, it was proposed that he and other young men, similarly unknown, should lead in the busi- ness ; therefore, he and his companions were dressed to resemble Indians, and their faces were smeared with soot or lamp-black. Their most intimate acquaintances among the spectators "had not the least knowledge of them." " We surely resembled," said he in a narration of the affair, "devils from the bottomless pit, rather than men." V. William, b. May 22, 1760 ; d. June 8, 1776. vi. Susanna, b. May 14, 1762 ; d.

"Nathaniel Jarvis Wyeth was one of the most active and energetic men ever born in Cambridge. About 1830 he led a band of adventurers across the Rocky Mountains to Oregon ; after his return he en- gaged in the ice business at Fresh Pond, Mass.; was one of the first shippers of that article to foreign or coast- wise ports, and through life conducted that business with great skill and efficiency." XIV. John Wyeth,' (Ebenezer," Ebenezer,' John,' Nich- olas,^) b. March 31, 1770, at Cambridge, Mass.; d. January 23, 1858, at Philadelphia, Pa. He was, at an early age, appren- Wyeth Family. 761 ticed to the printing business, and, on reaching his majority, was induced to go to San Domingo, to superintend a large print- ing establishment. While there, the insurrection of the blacks occurred, and all that he had acquired was lost. It was with great difficulty that he even succeeded in escaping from the island, and then only by the connivance of a friend, one of the officers who assisted in searching the vessels about leaving the port. Dressed as a common sailor and working among them, he eluded their vigilance, and subsequently reached Philadel- phia. Arriving at Philadelphia, he worked some time in the different printing establishments there, and, in 1792, went to Harrisburg, Pa., where, in connection with John Allen, he pur- chased the paper started the previous year by Major Eli Lewis , and commenced the publication of the Oracle of Dauphin, a newspaper he successfully carried on until November, 1827. Mr. Wyeth 's paper supported the Federal views of that great party during the whole course of its existence. Its columns were open, nevertheless, to the communications of all. In those days, before the principles of Republican rule were fully digested, many a nervous essay was put forth on either side of the question by able men of both parties. He was appointed postmaster of Harrisburg in October, 1793, under the adminis- tration of President Washington, of which he was a strenuous advocate.and admirer. He was removed in July, 1798, by Mr. Adams' Postmaster General, on account of ' ' the incompatibility of the office of postmaster and the editor of a newspaper. ' ' In connection with his newspaper, Mr. Wyeth established a book- store and a publishing house, from which he issued a large number of books, the most notable of which were : Judge Henry's "Narrative of the Quebec Expedition," Graydon's ' ' Memoirs , ' ' and a music book compiled by himself. The circu- lation of the latter, for that early day, was wonderful, its several editions aggregating one hundred and twenty thousand copies. To this he supplemented a second part, intended especially for the Methodist church, of which there were published about twenty-five thousand. He was one of Harrisburg's most ener- getic citizens, and was deeply interested in its prosperity and welfare. He caused the construction of several valuable im- 762 Pennsylvania Genealogies. provements, whicli remain as evidence of Ws enterprising spirit and good judgment. He was one of the earliest friends of the Harrisburg Academy, and served as a trustee, of which body he was also president. Upon his retirement from publisher, he removed to Philadelphia, where he died at the advanced age of eighty-eight years. His life, thus prolonged, was marked by affability and cheerfulness, and his philosophy was of practical character. He was exceedingly industrious, and, whilst in business, could always find something for his hands to do, and in later life, when the concerns of his printing office were trans- ferred to younger hands, he knew how to divide his time be- tween his reading and his social pleasures. Mr. Wyeth was twice married; m., first June 6, 1793, Louisa WeisS, b. April 29j 1775; d. June i, 1822, at Harrisburg, Pa.; daughter of Lewis and Mary Weiss, of Philadelphia.* They had issue, all born in Harrisburg, Pa.: i. Louisa, b. August 6, 1796 ; d. November 10, 1875 ; m., April 22, 1817, Samuel Douglas, b. 1781, near the town of Newton-Limavady, county Derry, Ireland ; d. July 8, 1833, at Harrisburg, Pa.; son of Henry Douglas and Jane Blair. He received a classical education in Scot- land, but came to America about the age of seventeen, and located at Pittsburgh, with a brother, the Rev. Joseph Douglas, who had preceded him. Here he studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 1804, and began his profession there. In 1812 he volunteered as aid to General Adamson Tannehill, and was with him in the expedition to Black Rock. In 1817 Mr. Douglas was nominated for Congress against Judge Henry Bald- win, but was defeated by a small majority. The same year he went to Harrisburg in the interests of securing ♦Lewis Weiss, b. December 28, 1717, in Berlin, Prussia; studied conveyancing, and emigrated to America, landing at Philadelphia on the 13th of December, 1755, where he opened an ot&oe on Arch street, between Fourth and Fifth. He was one of the founders of the Ger- man Society of Philadelphia, of which he was president. He was a Moravian, and acted as an attorney for that denomination prior to 1782, and was a judge of the Court of Common Pleas in 1786. He d. October 22, 1786, at Philadelphia. One of his daughters m.

He was appointed Deputy Attorney General for Dauphin county, July 17, 1819, under Governor Pindlay. Gov- ernor Wolf commissioned him February 10, 1830, Attor- ney General of the State, a position he held three years. He was a gentleman of fine classical attainments, of re- fined tastes, a good criminal lawyer, and highly es- teemed by the members of bis profession. They had issue. a. John, b. June 6, 1799; d.

He was edu- cated at the Harrisburg Academy, and learned the art of printing in his father's ofBoe, subsequently entering Jefferson College, Canonsburg, from which institution he graduated in November, 1827. On his return home his father, who had conducted the Orach of Dauphin thirty-five yearn, transferred that paper to his son, which he edited and published several years. He also entered into the business of bookseller and publisher. At the time Mr. Wyeth took charge of the Oracle the Whig party had Just come into existence, of whose principles and policy he was an enthusiastic supporter. Becoming, however, tired of an editor's life, he sold out the newspaper establishment about 1831, continu- ing his other business until 1859, when he disposed of that. In April, 1861, at the outbreak of the Rebellion, he was placed in charge of. the quartermaster's depart- ment at Camp Curtin, where he continued until the general government assumed control over all the mili- tary organizations of the State. On the 20th of July, 1862, Governor Curtin appointed him one of the com- missioners from Pennsylvania to visit all the hospitals in the Army of the Potomac, in the interest of the vol- unteer soldiers of the State who were sick or wounded, and, as his commission reads, "to supply the wants of the suffering and needy as far as lies in your power, without infringing on any of the regulations or rights of the army, and assure each and all that their condi- tion awakens the liveliest interest and sympathy of the people and Governor of Pennsylvania." Returning home, he reported the condition of the wounded sol- 764 Pennsylvania Genealogies. diers, with this recommendation, that where it is pos- sible " those from Pennsylvania be transferred to hos- pitals in their own State, that they might be near to their friends and acquaintances." This was, subse- quently, carried out during the continuance of the war. On November 28, 1863, he was again directed to visit the various hospitals. For a long term of years he was one of the trustees of the Harrisburg Academy, and president of the same. Mr. Wyeth was twice mar- ried ; m., first. May 29, 1829, Susan Huston Maxwell, d.
