THOMAS FERRIER AND Some of His Descendants COMPILED BY ELIZABETH FERRIER LANE The Independent Elkhorn, Wisconsin 190G. PUBLIC LIBRA-Sy TN-ften Ft«J^eAT^■^ws 1906 q(^ /y f/^ /^ I L5- PREFACE. As early as 1897 Mrs. Elizabeth F. I^ane was asked for a summary statement of her American ancestry, for use in a gen- ealogy of the Lanes of Killingworth and Wolcott, Conn, Neither she nor her husband )i^^e satisfied with the meagre and half-authenticated results procurable at such short notice. Mr. Lane designed a second and improved edition of the " Lane-Griswolds," and also a similar work for the Ferrier- Vanderoef-Wisner ancestors and descendants. His early death deprived Mrs. Lane of an invaluable coadjutor in her compilation. Within three years afterward both her parents were called from labor to rest. Their personal and local knowl- edge had contributed much of value to her work. At an early stage of her inquiries Mrs. Lane found that Mr. William James Hancock (then of Wyoming, now of Wilkes- Barre) had already been moved by the ever uneasy spirit of genealogy; and from him she learned much that tended to give fullness and consequent genealogical value to her compilation. The contents of pages 7 to 27 show that among the needs of the hour are some more general accounts of the several families there shown merely in their relationships to one of their mother- lines, — to them already but a part of their remoter ancestry. Late in 1905 the results of a long and variously-bafiied effort were sent to Elkhorn for such re-arrangement as might be found expedient, and for printing. Some then yet unanswered in- quiries delayed type-setting, and later circumstances hastened the work somewhat to its hurt. Bvtt nothing yet printed can be genealogy's last word. Besides, if printing must await ab- solute fullness of knowledge and flawlessness of editorial judg- ment, genealogy's first word must be postponed indefinitely. Generall3% it is better to have tried and erred than not to have tried at all. Notwithstanding some proof-reader's oversights. 4 Preface. it is believed that the dates are very generally printed as re- ceived. Errors in historical statement are not unlikely, but such will not mislead better-informed readers. To be at once genealogist and historian is to carry a double load, one which is likely enough to round the shoulders of a wight not too well trained for either fundtion. The included non-Ferrier ancestries are not without interest, and, though not all of them verified for use here, are probably most of them correct in substance. If not new to genealogists, they serve to show these families in their relationships to the now numerous and widely dispersed families descended from the immigrating Ferrier. There is more than one purpose served by printing Mr. Lane's ancestor-list, as at pages 44 to 47. Twenty of these families were also the editor's ancestors, and the ' ' Lane - Griswolds ' ' had some need both of corredtion and addition. It may be seen that the question-mark is used at the names of John Crane and George GrivSwold, though both have seemed to be good enough hypothetical forefathers. The doubt suggested in foot-note at page 19, and that other doubt which might seem implied by omission of transatlantic pedigrees are not meant ungraciously. But fiercer light beats not upon thrones than now falls upon longevity statements; and these flaw-revealing rays no more permit the stride across the wide flood of years which rolled between Hastings-field and Jamestown, Plymouth Rock, or Saybrook Point to pass, with- out questioning, for genealogical verity. If but one ancestor in the long line of one's descent from Japheth is wanting or is unverifiable, genealogy must begin at such point ; though the winged family faith may fly straightway and swiftly to its high mark, while proof-fettered doubt creeps endlessly among dis- continuous and illegible records. Compiler and editor have many kindly-helpful correspond- ents to thank thus briefly but unfeignedly ; for, without their effedtive aid not even such foundation as this for a worthier Ferrier memorial could have been laid. Elkhorn, April 30, 1906. B. THOMAS FERRIER AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS. Among the names of Duke William's followers to the con- quest and spoliation of Saxon England, according to Bromton and Leland lists, (as shown in Augustin Thierry's ''Norman ConqueJ of England, " ) are " Feters ' ' and Fererers. ' ' These, with ''Ferrers'' and " Ferrier,'' may be variant forms of one name ; for it was long afterward that family names, generally speaking, assumed something like fixed spelling, or even pro- nunciation. When it is recalled what havoc is made in popu- lar speech with many names and commoner words, and what ingenuities of spelling are found in latest as well as in earliest records and other scribe-performances, a natural distrust arises as to the soundness of etymology offered for many a title-name in the ever-widening expanse of printed genealogy. Few of us can say how our earliest surnamed forefathers really spoke their newly-chosen or newly-imposed names, or to what mispronun- ciations they answered, or to what complications of pen-strokes they assented by touching the quill." Hence, it is not certain that the first man surnamed Ferrier was a worker in iron, and thence a horse-shoer, and thence a farrier. In its primitive form the name may have been a Celtic harshness of sounds, softened by Norman tongues into accidental resemblance to a " Similarities and differences of spelling are alike liable to mislead For an instance the Treat genealogist found at Trull and other parishes in Som- ersetshire both identity and difference of family among recorded names of Tratt, Trayte. Treat, and Trott ; and this confusion made it imoossible to carryback the Conneaicut colonist's ancestors by more than four steps 6 Thomas Ferrier. Franco-Latin word which did not translate it. However great the service of etymology in finding or divining the origins and relationships of words in our commoner speech, it affords but a faint or delusive light on the first naming of many families. Some branches or families of the now numerous posterit}- of a remote ancestor still find it useful or agreeable to differentiate themselves from the mass of their kindred of their father-name or their accidental namesakes. This, by return to some real or supposed archaic form of the name ; by conforming its spelling to some English or American anomal}' of pronunciation ; or by a pleasing and wholly modern arrangement of letters. It is a genealogical task to find, as well as ma^' be, among earlier cler- ical semi-illiteracies and later variations, the true and the most probable kinships. In no long time after the conquest a Ferrers or Ferrier was granted "as ferriage," rights in part or all of the counties of Kent, Leicester, Norfolk, Rutland, Warwick, and Haddington ; and by marriage with a Hamilton, North Britain (Scotland) was added. Since crossing the channel the Ferrier name has been well established in England, Scotland, and Ireland ; but not all the Ferriers were or are of Great Britain. The record of the English church at Lej^den shows that Samuel Ferrier, of Caen, (Normandy), married Mildreth Charles, May i6, 1614, and he is named in Drake's " Foj/ndcrs of New England " as a passenger to America. It is therefore likely that he has now many Amer- ican descendants. Thomas' Ferrier, according to generally concurrent family traditions, was born in 1705, and came from Ireland (of which country it is believed he was a native, but of French Protestant parents) while yet a young man. It is told that the vessel by which he sailed was nine months out at sea and that the pas- sengers were for a long time placed on a scant allowance of food, and were threatened and in other wa}' treated insolentl^^l2 ^- " Starved and robbed by the ship's master. " See art. "Clinton," in lolnison's Cyclopaedia. The Ferrier account adds that the passengers so far resisted the skipper's behavior as to choose Col. Clinton to condudl the vessel to port ; but the crew durst not obey his directions, lest they might be held guilty of mutiny and piracy. Thomas & Hester Ferrier. 7 Extortion vSeenis the half-piratical master's most probable objedl in this strange course. Col. Charles Clinton, (father of George and James, of Revolutionary fame, and grandfather of De Witt Clinton) sailed May 20, 1729, by the " George and Anne, " from Ireland for Philadelphia. The incidents of his similarly pro- longed voyage (or cruise), as described in his carefully kept diary, (now in the State Library at Albany), so far coincide with the Ferrier story as to make it evident that Col. Clinton and Mr. Ferrier were fellow passengers. It is known that some or several of Col. Clinton's relatives came with him, and there are Ferrier descendants who are convinced that their ancestor was one of these kinsmen. At last the sorely tried passengers were landed at Cape Cod. In 1731 Clinton removed to Little Brit- ain, then in Ulster, now in Orange Co., N. Y., and Mr. Ferrier to the same county. Thomas Ferrier married Hester Lucky before 1757, — perhaps several years earlier. The four children named below may have been the younger survivors of a larger family. Thomas died in Orange Co., April i, 1792. Hester is said by one tradition to have come from Holland ; (but, prob- ably, was not Dutch) ; by another, in no way consistent with this, she was a fellow-passenger with Thomas by the " George and Anne, in 1729. In latter case she was then but a child of ten years or younger, brought with her parents or near kindred to fulfil a destiny then unimagined. The family name is not unknown in the Wyoming valley, for Moses Lucky witnessed a deed of gift from Benjamin Carpenter, of Kingston. Penn, to his son, James Carpenter, Jan'y 25, 1799. Hester's birth can not well be placed earlier than 1720. She died March 17, 1796. The order of children's birth is as yet not certainly known, but it is here assumed, provisionally, on fair inference from scanty evidence, to have been as follows : — 2. Hester,2 married to Benjamin Carpenter. 3. Jane, married to Rev. Anning Owen. 4. Robert, born Odt. 9, 1762 ; married Mary Wilcox, March 9, 1785.. 5. Sarah, born Aug. 17, 1767 ; married to David Perkins. — 2 — Hester^ Ferrier, {Thomas^), was evidently the eldest of the four known children of her parents, and by so many years as to remove suspicion of an omitted generation between them and •T 8 Ca rpenter — Oxven . herself. She was married to Benjamin Carpenter, who was born Jan'y 27, 1750; took part, in 1775, in the earliest move- ments of Orange county patriots, and his name, with that of Anning Owen, is found among the signatures to the " Revolu- tionary Association Pledge. "^^ He removed, not much later, to the Connedlicut settlement in the Wyoming country, and, with Anning Owen and Rogers Searle.^* did each a soldier's duty in the battle of July 3, 1778, but escaped that wholesale murder which nearly depeopled the valley. He came again, with other survivors, to make more than good the waste wrought in a day of Seneca's vengeance and Tory's devilish hate ; and he at once found his place among the most useful and honored citizens of his county. In 1787 he was duly commissioued as justice of the peace, and in 1794 he represented Luzerne in the legislature of Pennsylvania. In his later years he removed again, (probably with most of his children), in 1807, to Sunbury, Delaware Co., Ohio, where he became an associate judge of one the county or districft courts, and where he died Sept. 27, 1823. [From her granddaughter, Mrs. Van Fleet, it is learned (too late to recast this paragraph) that Mrs. Hester (Ferrier) Carpenter was born March 11, 18^52, and died on her eighty-fourth birthday, March 11, 1836.] The number of their children is not known, but information from Pennsylvania and Ohio discloses nine, as named below, their order not shown. A few of their descend- ants, it is said, yet live in Ohio. Children (Carpenter) : — James, married Elizabeth Hewitt, March i, 1798. [Capt. Dethick Hew- itt, her father, was killed or murdered at Wyoming, July 3-4, 1778] Kitty, (or Catherine),^ married Dec. 6, 1797 to Jacob Bedford ; no child- ren known. Benjamin. Robert. A daughter, Mrs. Lucy Van Fleet, lives at Galena, Ohio. Charles. Mary, married to Rufus Carter. Christina, married to Thomas Perfedl. 13 There seems ground for belief that a second Benjamin Carpenter, who signed the same paper, was our Benjamin's father ; and he have been he who married Prudence Kingsbury, July 1738.

Sarah, married in 1812 to John S. Brown. — 3 — JANE^ Ferrier, {Thomas^), was married to Anning Owen, probably at her father's home. She was well endowed, as it is told, with whatever qualities of mind and charadler, added to wholesome instrudlion and influences of her earlier home-life, would best fit her to meet the duties and privations which must have made up in large part the sum of her career as a pioneer clergyman's wife. Mr. Owen was born in New York, (perhaps in Orange Co.), in 1751. He is said to have been of an early- coming New England family, as is not unlikely. In 1775 he, with Gershom, John, and Jonathan Owen, signed the patriotic Pledge. Before 177S he had gone to the Wyoming country, where he built a house and blacksmith shop between Kingston and Forty Fort. He fought well in the famous a<5tion, but with Carpenter and Searle escaped murder by hiding under a grape- vine, (drooping from a tree), on the bank of the river, near the mouth of Shoemaker's creek. They saw from their shelter the wretch, Windecker, kill Shoemaker, whose body floated down below them. Returning for a time to New York he became a Methodist, afterward was licensed to preach, and, going again to Wyoming, he led the first Methodist class at Rose Hill, in 1788. In 1795 he became a travelling preacher, and his labors lay in several circuits of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. He was presiding elder of the Susquehanna dis- trict, which, as understood, included the counties of Lycoming and Centre. His family, in all this time, had lived at Kingston, and partly self-supporting ; for Jane and her daughters knew well how to adjust their shoulders to the burdens of their time and circumstances, and had strength and will to sustain them patiently and cheerfully to the end. In 18 10 he removed with his family to Ulysses, Tompkins Co., N. Y., where he died, of a then prevailing epidemic, in April, 1814. Jane died twelve hours later. Daughters are known to have lived at least until young womanhood, but their names have not been learned. Benjamin, died early. Sarah, died early.

[These four persons were of Kingston ; but it is uncertain that they are truly placed here.] — 4 — Robert'^ Ferrier, (T/iof/ias'^), was born Ocft. 9, 1762; mar- ried Mary Wilcox, March 9, 1785 ; died in town of Warwick, Orange Co., Jan'y 6, 1822. Mary was born Sept. 3, 1764 ; died at Dundee, Yates Co., N. Y., March 2, 1836. Robert's land lay in Warwick, between the villages of Amity and Edenville. He must have owned a considerable tradt ; for, in later 5'ears, some of his children and grandchildren owned and occupied farms adjoining the old home-farm on either side. Children, born in Warwick : — 9. William, 3 born Nov. 2, 1786 ; married Hannah Sanions. 10. Anna, born Jan'y 25, 1788 ; married to Daniel Nanny. 11. Joseph, born Jan'y 25, 1791 ; ni'd i.

John Perkinsi"^ went from Plainfield, Windham Co., Conn., in 1769, to Wyo- ming valleyi^ among its earlier settlers, and there owned much land. He took with him his wife and sons John, Aaron, and J'^It is believed, but as yet not proved, that John Perkins's father was of Norwich, Conn., and was a great-grandson of John and Judith, who came from Gloucestershire to Boston in 1636. 1^ The Conneifticut contention for j urisdicfliou westward, through northern Pennsylvania and Ohio to the Pacific (which at first was thought not much beyond the great lakes) did not die out whollj' until some years later than the Revolution. The Wyoming country was then tlie town of Westmore- land, and was accounted, by its pioneers and also in Connecticut, a part of Litchfield countj', and was represented in the legislature of the latter col- ony. Col Zebulon Butler, and other officers of Valley troops, were com- missioned by Gov. Jonathan Trumbull. David Perkins & Sarah Ferrier. ii David, — the last named born Jan'y2dof that year. Having served in Capt. Spalding's company, under Washington, he had returned to share in the disaster of July 1778, in which his eld- est boy was killed ; but saved himself and the rest of his family from massacre, and went back, it is told, to Connedlicut. He soon returned, alone, and meeting a gang of Indian prowlers, he was murdered and scalped. His widow remained in Conne(5ti- cut and was married to a Mr. Griswold. Aaron was a soldier, and in old age a pensioner. David also abode in Conneifticut until about 1787, when he returned to the Valley, and chose for his guardian, Sept. 6th of that year, Benjamin Carpenter, who administered John Perkins's estate. The Orphan's Court of Luzerne county, March 6, 1789, ordered sale of as much of this estate as was needful to pay debts and cost of administration. David seems to have become for some time an inmate of the Carpenter home, where he met Sarah Fe;rrie;r, then visiting her sister. Not much later, he journeyed to the Ferrier home at Amity and brought back Sarah as his wife. He became in time the owner of a tradl of land six miles along the Sus- quehanna and one mile back to the mountains, — nearly four thousand acres. This land then included the site of the mon- ument which commemorates the tragedy of 1778. David Per- kins was a man of local influence and usefulness as well as of many acres. He was a member of the first school-committee for the town of Westmoreland. For several years he held by executive appointment the then dignified as well as important post of justice of the peace. His second wife, with whom he lived but short time, was Mrs. Sarah Pettibone. He died Jan 'y 8, 1854. Children (Perkins), in supposed order of birth : — 17.
