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 vol- ume, with its limited edition, will depend, in a measure, whether another volume shall follow. In this brief prefatory note, he takes the occasion to acknowledge his especial obligations to James H. Shields, of Chicago, Eliot McCormick, of New York, Bucher A'iRES, of Philadelphia, John Blair Linn, of Bellefonte, Isaac Craig, of Allegheny City, James B, Lyon, of Pittsburgh, and A. Boyd Hamilton, of Harrisburg, for very valuable assistance.

On the 19th of December, 1656, Jacob Alricks, son of Claes Alricks, bom in 1603, at Amsterdam, was appointed in Holland, by the Burgomasters and Council of the city of Am- sterdam, 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 Long Island, but, fortunately, every man was saved, as well as their baggage, the vessel being merely stranded. He, subsequently, through the kindness of some natives, reached Manhattan Island (jSTew York). On the 16th of April, he sailed in the ship Bever from the harbor of New Amsterdam, and arrived at Fort New Amstel, on the Delaware, five days after. He at once assumed command, and sent forward, by the first opportunity, a full report of the condition of the Dutch Colony on the Delaware. His position was far from an easy one. Not only the Swedes, who had been the first settlers, and whose conquest had been made by the Dutch under Stuveysant, Grovernor of all the New Netherlands, bat the English, as also the Maryland col- onists, gave him considerable concern. Besides, the Dutch themselves were more or less dissatisfied on account of the fail- ure of the crops for several years in succession, and this operated in retarding emigration. By direction of the com- missioners, he made treaties with the Indians for lands, pre- pared a map of the country, and employed his utmost exertions to promote trade on the Delaware. On the 30th of December, 1659, aged fifty-six years. Governor Jacob Alricks died at New Amstel. His papers and property were sequestrated by his successor, Governor D'Hinayossa, but Govern or- General Stu- veysant ordered their release "on pain of disgrace." Jacob Alricks left no issue. 14 Pennsylvania Genealogies. II. PiETER Alricks, SOU of Pieter Alricks, and cousin of Jacob Alricks, had been sent, in 1658, by the Dutch Govern- ment, with instructions for New Netherlands, and, more than probable, with the intention, of remaining in the new country. In March, 1659, we find him carrying on trade in the "Hore- Kihl." In January, 1660, D'Hinayossa appointed him com- mander there. On the 6th of September, 1664, New Amster- dam was captured by the English, and Governor-General Stuveysant expelled. Thirteen days after. Sir Robert Can- appeared on the Delaware, and in a fortnight thereafter took the Dutch forts. The estate of Pieter Alricks was confiscated ; but some years afterward the Dutch again obtained possession not only of the banks of the Delaware, but also of Fort Amster- dam, now New York city, and held possession until the Eng- lish Governor, Andross, arrived, and then the annals inform us: "Nov. 10, 1674, Fort Amsterdam, New York, was this day surrendered to Governor Andross, and all the magistrates in of&ce at the time of the Dutch comng here to be re-instated for the Delaware river, except Pieter Alricks, he having prof- fered himself to the Dutch at their first coming, of his own motion, and acted very violent as their chief officer ever since." Commissary Alricks subsequently swore fidelity to the Eng- lish, and continued his trade on the South river. In August, 1672, he was appointed bailiff for New Castle, on the Dela- ware ; in October, 1677, commissioned one of its justices, and re-commissioned June 7, 1680, being one of the justices in commission when the Proprietary Government was formed. He was a member of the first Assembly of the Province, 1682 and 1683, and from 1685 to 1689 served as one of the Pro- vincial Coancillors. In 1685, William Penn bought out the title of the Indians in a large body of land lying between Philadelphia and Wilmington, extending back from the Dela- ware river as far as a man "can ride in two days with a horse." The first witness to this Indian deed is Pieter Alricks. He was commissioned one of the justices of the peace for the Lower Counties, April 13, 1690, and again May 2, 1693. On the 2d of September, 1690, he was also appointed a judge of the Provincial Court, serving until 1693. He probably died about Alrichs Family. 15 that period. From him for two generations it has been found difficult to trace the full descent, save that a son of Pieter last named was probably named Pieter, and his son Wessels, or Weselius Alricks. The latter was born in Delaware, after- ward removed to Philadelphia, where he became quite prom- inent in Provincial affairs, and held several important offices. He died there, leaving a son : 3. i. Hermanus, b. about 1730. III. Hekmanus Aleicks^, (Wessels, 3 Pieter, ^ Pieter, i) b. about 1730, in Philadelphia; d. December 14, 1772, in Car- lisle, Cumberland county. He resided some years in his na- tive city, but afterwards settled in Cumberland county. He was chosen the first member of the General Assembly from that county, and was commissioned prothonotary, etc., of Cum- berland, and also a justice of the peace. Until his death, he was a man of mark and influence in the valley west of the Susquehanna. Hermanus Alricks was twice married, for we find by the Administration book F, p. 822, at Philadelphia, that letters of administration were granted to Hermanus Al- ricks of Cumberland county, on the estate of Sarah Alricks, June 19, 1750, he being designated as her husband. There was probably no issue. He m. secondly, Ann West, b. 1783, in the north of Ireland; d. November 21, 1791, in Donegal township, Lancaster county, and is buried in the old church graveyard there. They had issue: i. William, b. 1758. 4. ii. Ann, b. October 7, 1760; m. Alexander Boggs. Hi. Hermanns, b. 1762. iv. West, b. 1765. 5. V. James, b. December 2, 1769; m. Martha Hamilton. Mrs. Alricks subsequently married Col. Alexander Lowre}^* of Donegal, and by him there was issue (surname Lowrey) : i. Fannie, b. Feb. 1, 1775 ; m. Samuel Evans. * Alexander Lowrey, the son of Lazarus Lowrey, was born in the north of Ireland, in December, 1727. His parents, with several elder children, came to America in 1729, and settled in Donegal town- ship, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. His father became an Indian trader, which occupation Alexander entered about 1748, in partner- 16 Pennsylvania Oeneilogies. IV. Ann ALRiCKS,s(Hermanus,^ Wessels, ^ Pieter, ^ Pieter/) b. October?, 1760, in Cumberland county, Penn'a; cl. September 20, 1847, in Donegal township, Lancaster county, Penn'a; m. Alexander Boggs, b. October 7, 1755, in Donegal township, Lancaster county, Penn'a ; d. March 30, 1839 ; and with his wife are interred in Old Donegal church graveyard. They had issue : ^. Andrew^ m., 1810, Eliza Cook, daughter of David Cook; removed to Hagerstown, Maryland. a. Francis^ m. 1818, Maria Jefferis. Hi. Hermanns, removed to Baltimore, Maryland. ship with Joseph Simon of the town of Lancaster, the fur trade with the Indians being at that period quite lucrative. The connection with Mr, Simon, continuing for forty years, was finally closed and settled without a word of difference between them, with large gains resulting, over many and severe losses from Indian depredations on their trains and trading posts. Mr. Lowrey was, from the first, out- spoken and ardent for separation from the mother-country. In July, 1774, he was placed on the Committee of Correspondence for Lancas- ter, and was a member of the Provincial Conference held in Pliila- delphia on the 15th of that month ; and of that convened in Carpen- ters' Hall, 18th of June, 1776; and of the Convention of the loth of July following. He was chosen to the Assembly in 1775, and, with the exception of two or three years, served as a member of that body almost uninterruptedly until 1789. In May, 1777, he was appointed one of the commissioners to procure blankets for the army. In 1776 he commanded the Third Battalion of the Lancaster County Asso- ciators, and was in active service in the Jerseys during that year. As senior colonel, he commanded the Lancaster county militia in the battle of the Brandywine. At the close of the Revolution, Colonel Lowrey retired to his fine farm adjoining Marietta. Under the Con- stitution of 1789-90, he was commissioned by Governor Mifflin jus- tice of the peace, an office he held until his death, which occurred on the 31st of January, 1806. His remains lie interred in Donegal . church graveyard. Colonel Lowrey was a remarkable man in many respects, and his life was an eventful one, whether considered in his long career in the Indian trade, a patriot of the Revolution, or the many years in which he gave his time and means to the service of his country. He was greatly beloved by his neighbors, and,during his long life, shared with his associate and friend, Colonel Galbraith, the confidence and leadership accorded to both in public, church, and local affairs.

He was a man of ex- tensive reading, passionately fond of books, and he regarded an honest man, of fine education and refined manners, as the most remarkable object on the face of the earth. After his father's death, he was raised on a farm in Donegal, Lancaster county, and nsed to say that at that period no one could get an education for want of teachers. "While lamenting his own want of edncation, he was remarkably well acquainted with history, ancient and modern, and with geography. He was likewise quite familiar with the writings of Shakespeare, Groldsmith, Burns, Campbell, etc. While living in the prime of life on the Juniata, he was delighted to meet and converse with such men as the Rev. Matthew Brown, the first Dr. Watson, of Bedford, Judge Jonathan Walker, (the father of Robert J. Walker,) William R. Smith, etc. On March 10, 1821, he was appointed clerk of the orphans' court and quarter ses- sions, serving until January 17, 1824 He subsequently served as one of the magistrates of the borough.

His father removed to Harrisburg in 1811, and there the son grew to man's estate, thereafter one of tlie most respected citizens, receiving his education in the Harris- burg Academy. He read law in the ofiice of Thomas Elder, Esq., and was admitted to the Dauphin county bar. He quickly obtained a lucrative business before the courts, became one of Alricks Family. 19 the prominent men at the bar, and at his death the eldest practitioner in Dauphin county. He was averse to holding office. The only one of prominence held by him was that of deputy attorney-general in 1829. He frequently served his fellow -citizens in municipal office, was a popular man with them, and his counsel sought upon all questions of importance. In addressing a jury, his manner was quiet, his statement clearly presented, and argument logical. His rule was to undertake no cause unless his client was able to demonstrate the justness of his case. His early training in the practice of the orphans' and register's courts soon gave him a lucrative business in that branch of his profession, where clear, concise expositions are of far more weight than the stirring eloquence of the quarter sessions. He was an excellent, precise, real-estate lawyer. No one was a better reference upon questions of town or county history. His personal acquaintance was extensive, and his taste ran in acquiring the family traditions of the earliest settlers. His fund of information was at the service of his friends, always pleasantly and accurately retold, with the au- thonty for each fact or anecdote, and he abounded with inany curious and fascinating ones. His presence was imposing, qilite six feet in stature, large frame, erect, and neatly clad, quite "like a lawyer of the olden time," Mr. Alricks m., in 1831, Maey Elder Kerr, b. May 5, 1809; d.

"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 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 1804-5, 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 20 Pennsylvania Oenealogies. i. Jfim^s, d. s p. ri. Mary-Wilson, m. James McCormick. jr. (see McUormick record.) iii. Jane, cl. s. p. iv.

VIL Hamilton Alricks,'' (James, ^ Hermanus,^ Wessels,^ Pieter,2 Pieter/) b. June 1, 1806, at Oakland Mills, in Lost Creek valley, now Juniata county, Pa, He was educated at the Harrisburg Academy at such a period as those who passed tlirough 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 ilt- torney General, and was admitted to practice in 1828. During his professional career of half a century, Mr. Alricks has been encao-ed, 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. there until the first Sunday in January, 1814, wlien he preached his farewell sermon. Mr. Kerr also preached at Marietta in addition to his charge at Donegal. He died at that town oh 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. Her- manus Alricks, of Harrisburg; William M., J. Wallace, James- Wil- son, 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. 21 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 Houston, saying, " That is not the law." "But," said Mr. Alricks, "I am citing from the opinions of the court." Judge Houston sharply responded : "I don't care; no judge ever declared such to be the law." To which Mr. Alricks further replied: "T 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 authoiity 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 ar- ticles of impeachment 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 General 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 et al.^ late Canal Commissioners of Pennsylvania, vs. the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 10th Howard, United States Supreme Court Reports, 402, was not only well received by the })rofession as a sound exposition of the law as to what constitutes a contract within the meaning of the Tenth Section of the Fii'st Article of the Constitution of the United States, prohibiting a State from passing any law im- pairing the obligation of contracts, but also an able definition of the power of the Legislature to create and abolish offices, to impose taxes, etc.; and will remain a lasting memorial of his research, industry, and ability as a lawyer. He was one year a member of the Legislature ; was a member of the Chicago 22 Pennsylvania Genealogies. Convention in 1864, which nominated General McClellan 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 Constitu- tional Convention for the revision of the Constitution of the State, in 1872-73, 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 Corpora- tions and Societies. Mr. Alricts married, December 28,1837, Caroline Bull, daughter of Rev. Levi Bull, D. D., of Chester county. Pa., a son of Colonel Thomas Bull, of Revolutionary fame. She was born August 3, 1811.

OviD Frazer Johnson, b. in the year 1807, in the Valley of Wy- oming, near the town of Wilkes-Barre ; d. February, 1854, in Washington city, D. C. He was descended from some of the early settlers of that historic locality. His paternal grand- father, the Rev. Jacob Johnson, was a superior linguist and man of rich education and culture ; a graduate of Yale Col- lege, 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 mas- sacre of Wyoming, he assisted Col. Dennison with his advice and influence, in protecting the inhabitants that remained, and the original articles of capitulation were in the proper hand- writing of Mr. Johnson. In quite a lengthy biography writ- ten of him in the vear 1836, by the venerable writer and his- Alrichs Family. 23 torian of Wyoming, Charles Miner, appears this : " A¥hen the Re^^olutionary 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." This 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-Barr^, afterwards Judge Conyngham. He was duly admitted to the bar and entered 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 attorne37-general of Pennsjdvania. In 1842, 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 cele- brated "Governors Letters," published during the administra- tion of Governor Pitner, and which purported to give the ludicrous side to the political characters then figuring in the politics of the State.

November 17, 1678, in Scotland; was educated at Edinburgh, under the care of Principal Stirl- ing, of Glasgow. He was ordained by Irvine Presbytery, No- vember 17, 1708, with a view to his settlement in Virginia. He sailed March 6, 1709, and arrived in the Pappahannock on the 22d 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 northward, and was received by Presbytery September 20 following. He settled at New Castle, where he was installed pastor in 1710. In 1714, out of regard to 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 1717, 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 Presbyterianism 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 tb 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 Presbyterian church in America. He was a man of talent, learning, and piety, a graceful and popular preacher — a leader among men. Mr. Anderson was Anderson of Donegal. 25 twice married: m., first, February, 1713, Mistress Suit Gar- land, clau. of Sylvester Garland of the Head of Apoquinimy, Delaware, who d. December 24, 1736, and lies buried in Done- gal churchyard, where a large flat stone marks the resting- place of herself and her distinguished husband. From a mu- tilated leaf in the Rev. 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. He left a large estate, including most of the land upon which Marietta now stands, a valuable ferry-right called "Anderson's Ferry," land on the opposite side of the river, together with several slaves: 2. i.

The name should properly be spelled Auld, and the first settler wrote it AuL, which the descendants have changed into Awl. He learned the trade of a tanner. Was a man of means when he came to America, and settled, at an early date, ■ in Paxtang, near his relative, John Harris, of Harris' ferry, where he took up a large tract of land, which he improved, erected a tannery, and on which he lived to the time of his death. He became a prominent personage in Paxtang, was an ensign and lieutenant in Colonel John Elder's battalion of rangers in the frontier wars from 1756 to 1764, and at the out- set of the war for independence, aided by his counsel and his purse, in organizing the associated battalions of Lancaster county, which did such effective service in the Revolution. When the new county of Dauphin was erected, Mr. Awl was appointed one of the commissioners in the act relating thereto, and John Harris afterwards appointed him one of the trustees or commissioners for the public grounds ceded by him, at the laying out of the town of Harrisburg, for public uses. He was a representative man, influential and potential in the county, yet preferred domestic retirement to the struggle of office, and when he was offered the nomination for representative in the General Assembly, he positively declined. Over his grave, in the burial ground of old Paxtang church, is a stone with this inscription : it acred to the memory of JACOB AWL Who departed this life Sept. 26th 1793 Aged 66 Years 1 month and 20 Days Awl of Paxtang. 33 Tliis stone is placed over his remains by his relict and children as a testimony of their Regard for his many virtues. Is he perhaps your Guardian Angel still O widow, children, live as would obey his will So shall you join him on that happy shore Where death or grief will visit you no more. Jacob Awl m., July 26, 1759, by Eev. John Elder, Sarah Sturgeon ; b. September 1, 1739 ; d. June, 1809, in Paxtang, and with her husband there buried.

September 7, 1765, in * Timothy Green, son of Kobert 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 flrst 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 Indian. In the Bouquet expedition he commanded a company of Provincial troops. For his services at this time, the Proprietaries granted him large tracts of land in Buffalo valley and 34 Pennsylvania Genealogies. Hanover township, now Dauphin county, Pa. ; d. in 1820, at ChilHcothe, 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 M]'. Awl's house, on Bald Eagle creek. At the outset of the Kevolution, 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 chairman, 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, wlien 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 lield 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 Mereditli, 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 tlie 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, wliich 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 EiNNEY Robinson, daughter of James and Jean Finney, and widow of Thomas Robinson. She d.

Jenny Awl, sister of the bride, it seems, was one of the singers for tune raising on that occasion. She had made her debut, having sent to Phila- delphia for a handsome pair of stays, which she wore that day ; but caused some stir by fainting, and having to be carried out."

The Sterretts were early settlers in Donegal township, from which locality the family has spread over the State, The father of Robert Sterrett settled in Hanover about 1741, but subsequently removed to the old homestead in Donegal. The Sterretts, 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 Sterrett 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. Colonel Green m., thirdly, in 1775, Mary Ijstnes, daughter of Brice Innes and Elizabeth Graham of Hanover. She survived her husband twenty years. They had issue : V. Innes, b. March 25, 1776; d.

William- Maclay, b., May 24, 1799, in Harrisburg, Pa. ; d.," November 19, 1876, in Columbus, O. He studied medi- cine and graduated at Jefferson College, Philadelphia. He at first located near Lancaster, O., in 1825; bu-t 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 organization 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 in- strumental 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.

Lower in "Family Names," London, 1860, derives it from "Hseres,'' an heir. Whilst Ferguson in his "Name System," derives it from old Saxon "Hari," warrior.] L Samuel Ayres, of the county Antrim, Province of Ulster, Ireland, born 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, 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.

In the j^ear 1773, William Ayres with all his family, ex- cepting Samuel and Charles, who remained in the old locality, moved to the West, then in Paxtang township, Lancaster county, now Middle Paxtang, Dauphin county. Pa., and settled the farm on the east side of Peter's mountain, where the turn- pike crosses, three miles above Dauphin. The common road terminated at that point, and in the course of time, he constructed the first road across the mountain. In the map of purchase from the Indians, only twenty-four years previously, the country west of the mountain is entitled " Saint Anthony's wilderness." Although nearly sixty years old, we find him doing Pevolution- arv service in Caj)tain Richard Manning's Company of the 4th Battalion of Lancaster county. Colonel James Burd, March 13, 1776. In the winter of 1784-5, he was accidentally drowned in Fishing creek, near old Fort Hunter, his wife having died previously, and both were buried in the old graveyard above Dauphin, where sleep all the oldest residents of that section of the country.

Elected to the councils of the borough, he projected the water- works, which were constructed and completed in 1841, mainly through his individual efforts. In 1841, he was elected a di- rector of the United States Bank, at Philadelphia. In 1850, he organized the Harrisburg gas compan}^, and, as first president, constructed the works, which were a success from the begin- ning. In 1853, on the solicitation of the citizens of Huntingdon, he became president of the Huntingdon and Broad Top rail- road ; put the road under contract, and in course of construc- tion, which insured its early completion. He organized the Harrisburg and Hamburg railroad company, and was engaged in this improvement, as president, with engineers in the field, at time of his death. Possessing public confidence, he was the recipient of many honorable and responsible trusts. He was a man of large 'physique — impressive and handsome appear- ance — popular manners, with untiring energy and ambition, and unselfish to a fault.

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 prison- ers by a band of prowling Indians. The parents of the boys tried in vain to raise a party to pu^rsue the savages, and rescue the captives, but could obtain no assistance. Mr. Barnett and Mr. Mackey, however, armed with rifles, mounted their horses and went in pursuit. They came up to the Indians, several in Barnett Family, 51 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 Bel], 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 bullet in his rifle observed that he run down the bullet 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 receive a shot in the arm and one in the shoulder. This bullet he carried with diim to the grave. So Mr. Barnett retreated. By the 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 dav. Grandfather Barnett resided east of these farms. His horse ran home, and the neighborhood tui-ned 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 had left their encampment before they were sighted b}^ 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 these 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 headwaters 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 the State,-of Ohio to Detroit. This Indian trader was employed 52 Pennsylvania Genealogies. by Grandfather Barnett to procure William, for whicli 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 be succeeded, and was returning with him. Mr. Barnett 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 i supposed there was great rejoicing in Hanover, not only in the houses of the Barnetts, but all through the country, at the re- .turn of the captive. Young Mackey was sold to a French- man 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 hiin. 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 from a cut, tliat 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. Barnett's simple story differs little in detail thereof. Joseph Barnett, d., in 1808, in Allegheny county.

John Barnett,'* (Joseph, ^ John,^ John.i) b. August 29, 1752, in Hanover township. He was a farmer by occupa- tion. At the outset of the Revolution he was appointed a lieu- tenant in the Hanover battalion of Associators, commanded by ColoDcl Timothy Green. He served with distinction at Long Island, August 27, 1776, and through the campaign of 1777 was in constant active service. During the remainder of the war, he was in command of a volunteer company, which was formed for the protection of the frontiers from the encroach- ments of the Tories and their allies, the savage Indians of JSTew York. The sword which he carried through the war is now in the possession of William Barnett, of Dayton, Ohio. Major Barnett was rather under middle size, and of a lively disposi- tion. " He was a noted fox -hunter, kept a pack of hounds, and a fine horse, named 'Pad,' and was much of his time, in hunting season, upon the Blue Mountain." Major Barnett died May 12, 1823, and is buried in Hanover graveyard. He married, April 29, 1784, Mary McEwen, of Hanover, a very estimable lady.

He secured a fair English education and was brought up to the life of a frontiersman, that of a farmer. During the French and Indian war, he served as a non-commissioned officer, and was in active service as a scout or ranger on the frontiers. When the thunders of the Revolution reverberated along the valley of the Susquehanna, with all his Scotch-Irish and Geruian neighbors, he entered into the contest for liberty. In 1775 and 1776, he was in command of one of the companies of Colonel James Burd's battalion of Associators, a roll of which is to be found in the recent history of Dauphin county. Colonel Burd's farm at Tinian joined the Sherer homestead, and the two patriots were intimate friends. Captain Sherer was a member of the Committee of Observation for the county of Lancaster, and was chosen by the vote of the people a member of the first Constitutional Convention of the State of Penn- sylvania, which met at Philadelphia, on the 15th of July, 1776. While in attendance on this representative body of the Revolutionary era, he took ill, returned home, and died on the 1st or 2d of December following. His remains were interred in the burial ground of old Paxtang church, of which he was a consistent member, but no stone marks the spot where repose the ashes of that hero of tlie days of Independence.

At the age of seventy- seven, near the close of a long life of industry, his miemory was most ex- cellent, and to him are we indebted for what is here given rel- ative to the Barnetts — as also what is in our possession con- cerning the Aliens, Sawyers, and other Hanover families. It is to be regretted that the information that he could have given as to the olden time was not taken down by some faithful chronicler, and thus preserved, unto us. He removed to Ohio, in 1817, locating in Warren county. He subsequently re- moved to Butler county, and, in 1841, to Springfield, 0., where he spent tlie remainder of his days. He had issue : i.

In the early part of the year 1880 he was appointed postmaster at Erie. Ac- commodating, attentive, and polite, the appointment was an exceedingly popular one. The relinquishment of an active railroad life for the humdrum cares of official position, no doubt, was the primary cause of the disease of which Mr. Moorhead died, at Eaton Rapids, Mich., whither he had gone for the restoration of his health.

From the family record, in the possession of his descendants, we have this entry : " That my children may know the place of their nativity, I, James Beatty, was born in the Kingdom of Ireland, and Couuty of Dowm, Parish of Hills- borough, and Townland of Ballykeel-Ednagonnel, in the year of our Lord 1746, and came to America in the year 1784.

In the fall of this year, he settled at Harrisburg, Pa., and thus became one of its first inhabitants. He subsequently was the purchaser of a number of lots in the town, some of which remain in pos- session of his descendants. He was quite prominent in his adopted home, and held several official positions under the borough charter. He was buried in the Presbyterian grave- yard, of which, church he held membership. In personal ap- pearance, Captain Beatty was about five feet eight inches, thick- set, florid complexion, dark hair, and blue eyes. He was an active and energetic business man, and his death was a great loss to the young town.

John Elder, Samuel Hill, b. about 1765, in England, son of Arundel and Charlotte Hill. His ancestors belonged to one of tlie representative families of that country. He received a good English and classical educa- tion, and learned the trade of clock and watchmalrer in London. He came to Pennsylvania about 1785, and shortly afterward established himself in business at Harrisburg, Pa. He was a skilled and ingenious workman. He was quite prominent in the early affairs of the new town, and was among the first to jump into the water to tear down the obnoxious mill-dam in the Paxtang creek, in 1795. He was a volunteer in Captain Reit- zell's company on the expedition westward in 179-1; and twice visited England on matters connected with his father's estate, then considered quite an undertaking; and what particularly distinguished his last visit was his reception by his fellow-citizens of Harrisburg on his return, which was an ovation, showing what a strong hold he had upon his friends in America. He died very suddenly, while sitting in his chair on Monday eve- ning, JSfovember 6, 1809, aged forty -four years, and the Oracle of Daujohin speaks of his loss to the community as "irreparable."

He was a son of Cap- tain John Downey and Sarah, his wife. The elder Downey was an officer of the Revolution, under General Lacey, and was inhumanly massacred at the battle of the Crooked Billet. The son received a classical education in the old academy at Grermantown, and, in 1793, located at Harrisburg, where he opened a Latin and grammar school. At this period, in a letter to Grovernor Thomas Mifflin, he proposed a "Plan of Educa- tion," remarkably foreshadowing the present common-school system, and which has placed him in the front rank of early American educators. He was for many years a justice of the peace, and served as town-clerk for a long time. He was the first cashier of the Harrisburg bank, largely instrumental in securing the erection of the bridge over the Susquehanna, and one of the corporators of the Harrisburg and Middletown y 70 Pennsylvania Genealogies. Turnpike company ; was a mfember of the Legislature in 1817 -18, and filled other positions of honor and profit. He died at Harrisburg, on the 21st of July, 1827, and the Oracle speaks of him as "a useful magistrate and a pious man." He wrote much for the press, and a series of articles published in the Dauphin Guardian^ entitled " Simon Easy Papers," were from his pen, sparkling with wit. They are worth a permanent set- ting, as a valuable contribution to literature. Their daughter, Ellen Downey, b. 1811, at Harrisburg ; d. 1869, at Springfield, O. ; m., April 5, 1831, Hon. Daniel Kilgore, of Steubenville, O., and had issue. XVIII. George Beatty,^ (James, ^ William, ^ James, ^ John,^) b. January 4, 1781, at Ballykeel-Ednagonnel, county Down, Ireland. He received a good early education in the Latin-school of John Downey, and learned the watch and clock-making with his brother-in-law, Samuel Hill, whose clocks are more or less celebrated to this day. In 1808. Mr. Beatty established himself in business, which he continued un- interruptedl_y for upwards of forty years. He was an ingeni- ous mechanician, and constructed several clocks of peculiar and rare invention. In 1814, he was orderlj^-sergeant of Captain Thomas Walker's company, the Harrisburg Volunteers, which marched to the defense 'of the city of Baltimore. Mr. Beatty in early life took a prominent part in local affairs, and, as a consequence, was frequently solicited to become a candidate for office, but he almost invariably declined. He, nevertheless, served a term as director of the poor, and also as county auditor. He was elected a burgess of the borough, and was a member of the town-council several years, and, while serving in the latter capacity, was one of the prime movers in the efforts to supply the borough with water. Had his suggestions, how- ever, been carried out, the water-works and reservoir would have been located above the present city limits. Mr. Beatty retired from a successful business life about 1850. He died at Harrisburg, on the 10th of March, 1862, aged eighty-one years, and is interred in the Harrisburg cemetery. He was an active, enterprising, and upright Christian gentleman.

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, for the good of humanity. His devoted Christian life-work ended on the 24th of March, 1861, in his thirty-seventh year. There was issue (surname Waugh) : 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 Boas,^ son of Frederick Boas/ was born in 1739, in the Canton of Zurich, not far from the city of Berne, Switzerland. He was of the Eeformed 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 received 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 testimonals with him; that they declined, on that account, receiving him." However, the congregration 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 Boas Family. 83 Cotus." About the year 1781, he resigned the charge of the Reading church, to which he had been a faithful pastor for 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, Lancaster 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 patriot 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 ISTew 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. ISTo- veraber 28, 1814. at Reading, Pa., and is there buried.

He served as a member of the borough council, and was appointed and commissioned by Governor Snyder, February 6, 1809, prothonotary and clerk of the courts of quarter sessions — an office he held at the time of his death. He was a man of sterling integrity, and prom- inent and influential in the afi:airs of the community in which he lived. Mr. Boas m., April 20, 1802, at Eeading, Pa., Sarah Dick, b.

A year or two after, he was chosen a member of the borough council, and, in 1840, elected treasurer of the county of Lehigh. He represented his district in the State Senate during the years 1847, 1848, and 1849.

The latter part of 1831 he was again in mercantile life, in which he remained until August, 1832, when he entered the post-offi.ce at Harris- burg, under James Peacock.

William Wesley jENJsriisrGS,^ (Elmina-Elizabeth,^ Frederick, 3 William, ^ Frederick, i) b. July 22, 1838, in Har- risburg, Pa., where he now resides. He attended the public schools of Harrisburg until his fifteenth year, when he com- menced to learn the trade of iron-niolder in his father's foundry. From 1860 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 ChancelloVsville. (For a history of the regiment, see History of Dau-phinVounty, Pa., p. 202.) Shortly after being mustered out of serviqe, 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 tlie regment, was sent forward at 10:30, A. M., on the Chambersburg turnpike. Boas Family. 89 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, hastil}^ retreated eastward over the fields and by country roads, occa- sionally skirmishing with the enemy's calvary, which was sent in pursuit of them; and, after losing one hundred and twenty men of their number near Hunterstown, and zigzagging very fre- quentl}^, being often within hearing distance of their pursuers, they reached Harrisburg on Sunday, the 28th 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 caj)ture." From 1863 to 1866, Colonel Jennings served as sheriff of the county of Dauphin, and again from 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 commented upon at the time, not only by the newspaper press in general, but by the Governor of the State in his annual message, and was deserving of all praise. Upon the death of Mr. Calder, president of the First National Bank of Harris- burg, in 1880, he was elected to that position, in which he con- tinues, and is the president of the Commonwealth Guarantee Trust and Safe Deposit Company, In 1884, he was chosen a 90 Pennsylvania Genealogies. director of the Cumberland Valley Railroad Company.

Cheistian Bombergeei and Mnria, his wife, emigrated from Eshelbrun, Baden, Germany, and arrived in Pennsylvania on the 12th day of May, 1722. He took up and settled upon a tract of lanri in "Warwick township, Lancaster county, a por- tion of which remains in the possession of his descendants to this day. The original patent bears date May 22, 1734, and in- cluded 548 acres in the survey. Tliis 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. ^. Jolin^ b. 1703; m. Mary Bausman. 3. ii. Christian; m. and had issue.

He received the rudiments of a German education at Litiz, 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 Rev- olution, he was some time in service, but turning 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 North-west. During the war of 1812-14, well advanced in life, he re- turned to Pennsylvania, and remained with his friends. He died near Harrisburg, Pa., on the 4th of August, 1829, at the age of eighty-five, and was buried inSherer's 92 Pennsylvania Oenealogies. burying-ground. The labors of Mr. Bomberger, for many years, were of that self-sacrificing spirit and de- votedness wliich proved that others there were beside the zealous Jesuit and tlie faithful Moravian whose re- ligious fervor and Christ-like example stand out as shin- ing lights in the galaxy of the followers of the doctrines and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.

His education was received in the schools of the town, which, at that period, was quite limited. His early life was passed in merchandising, and subsequently in the business of banking. During the sessions of the Penn- sylvania State Senate for 1851 and 1852, he served as as- sistant clerk of that body ; the year following, upon the establishment of the Mechanics' Bank, at Harrisburg, Pa., as cashier of that institution. Mr. Bomberger sub- sequently became its sole owner, and through his energy, financial tact, and ability, it has become one of the most successful banking-houses in Pennsylvania. For many years Mr. Bomberger held the position of one of the 94 • Pennsylvania Genealogies. trustees of the State Lunatic Hospital, at Harrisburg, under the appointment of the Governor. Few men are held in higher esteem for integrity, and in the com- munity where he is among its leading citizens, he has its respect and confidence. mi. Rac/ieZ; m. Samuel Kunkel. {see KunJcel record.)

Stacy Potts, concerning whom, as he was a man of mark, we have this in- formation : Thomas Potts, the ancestor of Stacy Potts, was a Quaker, who emigrated from England with his wife and child- ren, in company with Mahlon Stacy and his family, in the ship "Shield," and landed at Burlington, N. J., in the winter of 1678, she being the first ship that went so far up the Delaware. Stacy was a leading man in the Society of Friends and in the government of West Jersey. At Trenton, 1731, Stacy Potts was born. He received a good education, and learned the trade of a tanner, a business which he successfully carried on at least up to the time of the Kevolution. Mr. Potts seems to have been a very enterprising and public-spirited citizen. In 1776, besides owning a tannery, he built the steel-works on Front street, Trenton, and after the close of the Revolution was largely interested in the erection of a paper-mill in the same locality. This was prior to the publication of Collins' Bible. In December, 1788, it was advertised by its proprie- tors, Stacy Potts and John Reynolds, as " now nearly com- pleted." About this period Stacy Potts removed to Harris- burg, Pa. It is difficult to divine what were his motives in leaving his native town, where he was very popular, and with his ample competency, to settle in the then new town on the Sus- quehanna. His second marriage may, perchance, have had 100 Pennsylvania Genealogies. somewliat to do with his removal from Trenton. Going to Harrisburg, he made large purchases of land, and whether it was due to this fact, or his agreeable manner, Stacy Potts became quite prominent ; was chosen to the Legislature in 1791 and in 1792. During the mill-dam troubles of 1794-95, Mr. Potts was quite active, and was one of the committee of citizens who were willing to take upon themselves all responsibility accru- ing by the destruction of the obnoxious dam. He served as burgess of the borough, and was a member of the Town Coun- cil. From 1799 to 1803 he again represented Dauphin county in the State Legislature. About the year 1805, he returned to Trenton ; subsequently became mayor of that city, an office he held for several years. He died in that city April 28, 1816, in his eighty-fifth year. Mr. Potts was thrice married. We have no knowledge as to his first wife. He married, secondly, Miss Gardiner, of Philadelphia, a Presbyterian lady of super- ior intelligence. She died at Harrisburg in 1799. His third wife was Mrs. Mary Boyd. Upon the death of Mr. Potts, his widow removed to Harrisburg, where she resided with her son, George W. Boyd, until her death in 1844. VII. Maey Boyd, 4 (Joseph, ^ William, 2 William, 1) b. 1768, in Derry township, Lancaster county. Pa. ; d. 1866, in West Hanover township, Dauphin county, Pa. ; m.

Their son Robert Henry Jones, received a good education, studied medi- cine with Doctor David Watson, of Donegal, and graduated from the medical department of the University of Pennsvl- vania. He commenced the practice of his profession at Bain- bridge, in which he continued, very successfully, up to the time of his death. For many years, there was no ph3^sician in the 142 Pennsylvania Genealogies. neighborhood, and his labors were very arduous. Apart from his professional duties, he became interested in various busi- ness operations ; was a contractor on the old Philadelphia and Columbia railroad, and assisted in laying out the village of Bainbridge. Doctor Jones was highly respected and honored in the community in which he resided, and his memory re- mains green with many who honored him with the title of ''the good doctor." Doctor Jones and his wife, Sarah Morrett Egle, had igsne, all b. in Bainbridge, Pa., (surname Jones): i. Amanda-Egle, b. August 29, 1834; d. January 8, 1839. ii. Samuel-Jeremiah, b. March 22, 1886. He received a good preliminary education, and, in 1853, entered Dickinson College, from which institution he graduated with dis- tinguislied honors in 1857. After his graduation, he commenced the study of medicine under his father, and, in 1858, matriculated in tlie medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, taking his degree as M. D. from that institution in 1860. In the same year, he en- tered the United States navy as assistant surgeon, was attached to the United States steamer Minnesota — the flag-ship of the Atlantic squadron — which participated in the battle with the Merrimac, upon which steamer he remained for two years, except when absent as Admiral Goldsborough's staff surgeon at the battle of Roanoke Island, and Admiral Rowan's staff surgeon at the battle of Newbern, when he was promoted to the grade of sur- geon. Doctor Jones was United States examining sur- geon for the appointment of volunteer medical officers during 1863 and 1864, with his head-quarters at Chicago. He was one of the youngest surgeons ever appointed in the United States navy, being not yet twenty-eight years of age when he received his promotion. When relieved from duty in Chicago, in 1864, he was ordered to New Orleans as surgeon-in-charge of the United States naval hospital at that place, during an epidemic of yellow fever, and as medical purveyor of Admiral Farragut's (blockading) squadron. After the close of the war, he was transferred to the naval hospital at Fensa- cola, Florida, as surgeon of that hospital, and surgeon of the navy-j'ard at Pensacola. He was also the sur- geon of the sloop-of-war Portsmouth, at New Orleans, and of the frigate Sabine, the practiceship for naval ap- prentices on the Atlantic coast. He continued in the naval service until 1868, when he resigned.. In that The Family of Egle. 143 year he was chosen as a delegate from the'^ American Medical Association to the European Medical Associa- tions, which held meetings at Oxford, Heidelberg, and Dresden. The late Professor Samuel D. Gross, with Doctor Goodman, of Philadelphia, and Doctor Barker, of New York, were his associates. He was also, at the same time, commissioned by Governor Geary, of Pennsylvania, to investigate and report upon sanitary matters abroad, in tlie interest of tliat State. Upon his return from Europe, he located in Chicago, and commenced a general practice, and was appointed* presi- dent of tlie Chicago board of examining surgeons for United States pensions. In 1S70, he was appointed professor of ophthalmology and otology in the Chicago Medical College, a chair which had just been established. His studies had been, partly by the natural trend of his mind and partly by circumstances, directed to dis- eases of the eye and the ear, and the call to this chair in the Chicago Medical College determined his life-work. He has held this chair ever since, and after establishing the eye and ear department of St. Luke's Hospital, was appointed attending surgeon of that department, and has held the post for sixteen years. He also established the eye and ear department of Mercy Hospital and of the South Side Dispensary, and was their attending surgeon for ten years. He was also connected, as at- tending surgeon, with the Illinois Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary, a State institution, located in Chicago. In 1880, Doctor Jones was elected permanent secretary of the Illinois State Medical Society, to succeed Doctor N. S. Davis, who had held the position for twenty years. He is an active member of that society, of the American Medical Association, American Academy of Medicine, the American Ophthalmological and Otological societies, and has been thrice a member of the International Medi- cal Congress ; and to these bodies, and to the American Journal of Medical Sciences, and other medical journals, his contributions to the literature of his profession have been chiefly made. A partial list of some of his valuable monographs, in which are condensed the knowledge and discoveries of centuries, and his own addition to that knowledge and those discoveries in his favorite branch of study, are herewith given : " The Present State of Ophthalmology," was delivered before the Illinois Med- ical Association, in May, 1879. " The Present State of Otology," "A Report on Otology," ''Iritis: Some of 144 Pennsylvania Genealogies. Its Dangers," and "Affections of the Lachrymal Appa- ratus," were also delivered before the Illinois Medical Society. "Strabismus: Its Nature and Effects," was contributed to tlie Chicago Medical Gazette., of Jan- \mry 5, 1880. "On the Introduction of Liquids into the Eustachian Tube and Middle Ear," was delivered be- fore the American Medical Association, at New York, in June, 1880, and "Modifications of the Methods of Treating Chronic non-8uppurative Inflammation of the Eustachian Tube and Middle Ear," was delivered before the International Medical Congress, in 1876. In 1884, his alma mater., Dickinson College, at its one hundred and first annual commencement, conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Laws, in recognition of his valu- able services in medical and surgical science.

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 youth. He was educated in the private and public schools of Harris- burg, and for two years attended the Harrisburg Military In- stitute, under the care of Captain Alden Partridge, where he pursued the study of the classics and higher mathematics. Not having the opportunity of entering college, he determined to learn the art of printing, and for this purpose spent three years in the office of the Pennsylvania Telegraph, during most of which.time he was foreman of the establishment. Subsequently, he had charge of the State printing. In 1853, having been a frequent correspondent to the monthly magazines, he undertook the editorship of the Literary Companion, which was discon- tinued at the end of six months, at the same time the editing of the Daily Times, afterwards merged into one of the other newspaper ventures of Harrisburg. In 1854, he began the study of medicine with Doctor Charles C. Bombaugh, of Harris- burg, during a portion of which period, that and the following The Family of Egle. 145 year, lie was assistant teacher in the boys' schools of the then North ward ; afterwards mailing clerk in the post-office under Messrs. Brant and Porter. In the fall of 1857, he resigned his position and entered the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, from which institution he graduated in March, 1859. The same year he located at Harrisburg, and was in the practice of his profession tbere when, in 1862, after the battles of Chantilly and the second Bull Run, he was telegraphed by Adjutant General Russell, of Pennsylvania, to go to Washing- ton to assist in the care of the wounded, which duty he per- formed. In September of that year, he was commissioned as- sistant surgeon of the Ninety-sixth regiment, Pennsylvania volunteers, and in the summer of 1863 surgeon of the Forty- seventh regiment, Pennsylvania volunteer militia. At the close of service with the latter command, he resumed his practice, but afterwards, at the earnest solicitation of Adjutant General Thomas, of the United States army, he accepted the appoint- ment, by President Lincoln, as surgeon of volunteers, and was ordered to Camp Nelson, Kentucky, to examine the colored regiments then being organized in that State. He was sub- sequently detailed with the cavalry battalion under Colonel James Brisbin, now of the United States army, thence ordered to the Department of the Ja,mes under General Butler, and as- signed to the Twenty-fifth army corps. During the Appo- mattox campaign, he was chief executive medical officer of General Birney's division. Twenty-fourth army corps, and upon the return from that campaign ordered to Texas with General Jackson's division. Twenty-fifth army corps, as its chief medical officer. In December, 1865, he resigned the ser- vice and returned home, when for a brief period he partially resumed the practice of his profession. Upon the organization of the National Guard in 1870, Doctor Egle was appointed surgeon-in- chief of the Fifth division with the rank of lieuten- ant colonel, and subsequently, in the consolidation of the com- mands, transferred to surgeon of the Eighth regiment, and is the senior medical officer in the National Guard of Pennsyl- vania. He has been honored by election as corresponding mem . ber of a number of historical and learned societies in America 10 146 Pennsylvania Genealogies. and England. Turning his attention to historical research, he commenced the preparation of his " History of Pennsylvania," which was published in 1876 ; at the same time, in connection with Honorable John Blair Linn, edited twelve volumes of the second series of the "Pennsylvania Archives." Following these, have appeared a number of historical works from his pen, the latest of which are the histories of the counties of Dauphin and Lebanon, and this initial volume of " Pennsylvania Grene- alogies."

J. Jones, M. D., of the Chicago Medical College, an ad- vanced medical institution in the West, where the ad- vantages afforded him for pursuing his studies were un- surpassed. Remaining there, with the exception of a few weeks' visit to his home in the spring of 1881, he re- alized the necessity of the highest education in the pro- fession he had selected for his life-work, and became a devoted student. His hospital and clinical experience lifted him, as it were, into the front rank of his class, while fellow-students and professors alike admired his mental achievements and his courteous manners. He was the acknowledged leader of the senior class, and a bright future was seemingly before him of position, and honor, and usefulness in the profession. Although com- The Family of Egle. 147 pletely absorbed in his studies, he was not unmindful of other duties devolving upon him, and his rare social qualities gained him many friends in the city of Chicago. He never swerved in the performance of his mission, and a few weeks before his death he remained by the bedside of a young man near his own age, dying of diph- theria, when others had fled the room. About the 1st of June he complained of a small boil on his left upper lip. Little attention, however, was paid to it, save to lessen the swelling of the face, yet alarming cerebral symptoms soon set iu, and, notwithstanding the best medical skill in the country, he breathed his last at 11.30, p. M., on Wednesday, June 21 — St. Aloysius* day — 1882. And tlius, in the opening years of manhood, with pros- pects as brilliant as any could possibly desire, he passed from out tlie circle of loving hearts to the blessed reali- zations of the life eternal. He was a noble boy, intelli- gent, manly, upright, loving, and dutiful, and it need not be wondered at ihat liis sudden departure from tliis earthly life caused wounds which time can never fully heal- a.

He died the 28th of July, 1746, in Paxtang, and is buried in the old church grave-yard. He married, in 1703, EleajSTOR , b. in 1684 ; d. October 25, 1742. They had issue : 2. i.

John Elder, 2 (Robert, i) b. January 26, 1706, in the city of Edinburgh, Scotland ; d. July 17, 1792, in Paxtang township, Dauphin county, Pa. He received a classical edu- cation, and graduated from the University at Edinburgh. He subsequently studied divinity, and, in 1732, was licensed to preach the gospel. Four or five years later, the son followed • the footsteps of his parents and friends, and came to America. Coming as a regularly licensed minister, he was received by New Castle Presbytery, having brought credentials to that body, afterward to Donegal Presbytery, on the 5th of October, 1737. Paxtang congregation having separated from that of Derry in 1735, and Rev. Mr. Bertram adhering to the latter, left that of Paxtang vacant, and they were unanimous in giv- ing Rev. John Elder a call This he accepted on the 12th of April, 1738, and on the 22d of November following, he was ordained and installed, the Rev. Samuel Black presiding. The early years of Mr. Elders ministry were not those of ease ; for in the second year the Whitfield excitement took a wide spread over the Presbyterian Church. He preached against this religious furore^ or the "great revival," as it was termed, and for this he was accused to the Presbytery of propagating "false doctrine." That body cleared him, however, in Decem- ber, 1740 ; "but a separation was made," says Webster, "and the conjunct Presbyters answered the supplications sent to them the next summer, by sending Campbell and Rowland to those who forsook him. He signed the protest. His support being reduced, he took charge of the ' Old Side ' portion of the Derry congregation." Following closely upon these eccles- iastical troubles came the French and Indian war. Associa- tions were formed throughout the Province of Pennsylvania for the defense of the frontiers, and the congregations of Mr. Elder were prompt to embody themselves. Their minister be- came their leader — their captain — and the}^ were trained as scouts. He superintended the discipline of his men, and his mounted rangers became widely known as the "Paxtang Boys." During two summers, at least, every man who at- tended Paxtang church carried his rifle with him, and their minister took his. Subsequently, he was advanced to the dig- Elder Family 153 nity of colonel by the Provincial authorities, the date of his commission being July 11, 1763. He had command of the block-houses and stockades from Easton to the Susquehanna. The Grovernor, in tendering this appointment, expressly stated that nothing more would be expected of him than the general oversight. "His justification," says Webster, "lies in the crisis of affairs . . . Bay. at York, Steel at Conecocheague, and Griffith at New Castle, with 'Burton and Thompson, the church missionaries, at Carlisle, headed companies, and were actively engaged." During the latter part of the summer of 1763, many murders were committed in Paxtang, culminating in the destruction of the Indians on Conestoga Manor and at Lancaster. Although the men composing the company of Paxtang men who exterminated the murderous savages re- ferred to belonged to his obedient and faithful rangers, it has never been proved that the Rev. Mr. Elder had previous knowledge of the plot formed, although the Quaker pam- phleteers of the day charged him with aiding and abetting the destruction of the Indians. When the deed was done, and the Quaker authorities were determined to proceed to extreme lengths with the |)articipants, and denounced the frontiersmen as "riotous and murderous [rish Presbyterians," he took sides with the border inhabitants, and sought to condone the deed. His letters published in connection with the history of that transaction prove him to have been a man judicious, firm, and decided. During the controversy which ensued, he was the author of one of the pamphlets : "Letter from a Grentleman in one of the Back Counties to a Friend in Philadelphia." He was relieved from his command by the Grovernor of the Province, who directed that Major Asher Clayton take charge of the military establishment. Peace, however, was restored — not only in civil affairs, but in the church. The union of the synods brought the Pev. John Elder into the same Pres- bytery with Messrs. John Roan, Robert Smith, and Greorge Duifield, they being at first in a minority, but rapidly settling the vacancies with New Side men. By the leave of synod, the Rev. Mr. Elder joined the Second Philadelphia Presbytery May 19, 1768, and on the formation of the Greneral Assembly, 154 Pennsylvania Genealogies. became a member of Carlisle Presbytery. At the time" the British army overran New Jersey, driving before them the fragments of our discouraged, naked, and rhalf -.starved troops, and without any previous arrangement, the Rev. Mr. Elder went on Sunday, as usual, to Paxtang church. The hour ar- rived for church -service, when, instead of a sermon, he began a short and hasty prayer to the Throne of Grace ; then called upon the patriotism of all effective men present, and exhorted them to aid in support of liberty's cause and the defense of the , country. In less than thirty minutes, a company of volunteers was formed. Colonel Robert Elder, the parson's eldest son, was chosen captain. They marched next day, though in winter. His son John, at sixteen years, was among the first. His son Joshua, sub-lieutenant of Lancaster county, could not quit the service he was employed in, but sent a substitute./' Until his death, for a period of fifty-six years, he continued the faithful minister of the congregations over which he had been placed in the prime of his youthful vigor, passing the age not generally allotted to man — that of fourscore and six years. His death was deeply lamented far and wide. Not one of all those who had welcomed him to his early field of labor survived him^ Charles Miner, the historian of Wyoming, gives this opinion of Rev. John Elder: "I am greatly struck with the evi- dences of learning, talent, and spirit displayed by him. He was, beyond doubt, the most extraordinary man of Eastern Pennsylvania. I hope some one may draw up a full memoir of his life, and a narrative, well digested, of his times ... He was a very extraordinary man, of most extensive influence, full of activity and enterprise, learned, pious, and a ready writer. I take him to have been of the old Cameronian blood. Had his lot been cast in New England, he would have been a leader of the Puritans." He had, with one who well remem- bered the oldjninister, " a good and very handsome face. His features were regular — no one prominent — good complexion, with blue eyes . . . He was a portly, long, straight man, over six feet in height, large fi'ame and body, with rather heavy legs . . . He did not talk broad Scotch, but spoke much as we do now, yet gi'ammatically." His remains quietly repose Elder Family. 155 amid the sceaes of his earthly labors, in the burying-ground of old Paxtang church, by the side of those who loved and revered him. Over his dust a marble slab bears the inscrip- tion dictated by his friend and neighbor, William Maclay, first United States Senator from Pennsylvania. The Rev.

His inclinations, and the breaking out of the French and Indian war, when the boy enlisted with his father as a ranger on the frontiers, determined otherwise. With his Scotch-Irish neighbors, he entered heartily into the contest for independence, a -id throughout the war of the Rev- olution was in the field or engaged in organizing the associ- ators, of which he was ■ colonel, succeeding Colonel Burd in the command of the companies raised in Paxtang. At the close of the conflict, he continued his occupation of farming, avoiding public office, preferring the quiet of domestic life. Colonel Elder m. Mary J. Thompson, of Derry ; b.

Studied law with General John A. Hanna, and was admitted to the Dauphin county bar at the August term, 1791. He at once began the practice of a profession in which he became distinguished, and which he followed with great success for upward of forty years, and "was eminent as a safe and sagacious counselor, a laborious and indefatigable lawyer." During the Whisky Insurrection, he volunteered as a private in Captain Dentzel's company, which marched westward, pre- ferring the ranks to that of a commissioned office, which his company offered him. He subsequently held the office of lieutenant colonel of the militia, and was frequently designated by the title of colonel. As a citizen in the early years of the borough of Harrisburg, Mr. Elder possessed public spirit and enterprise in advance of his contemporaries generally.

He was blessed with a physical constitution which enabled him to accomplish an extraordinary amount of labor without diminishing the elasticity of his spirits or the vigor of his mind. He lived to the advanced age of over eighty-six years. Mr. Elder was twice married ; m., first, March 23, 1799, Cathaeine Cox. d. June 12, 1810 ; dau. of Colonel Cornelius Cox, of Estherton, Pa.

In June, 1821, he removed to Lancaster, resuming the practice of his profession. He was the anti-Masonic candidate for Vice President of the United States in 1832. " Mr. Ellmaker," says Mr. Harris, in his " Rem- iniscences," " was reported to be a good lawyer, and his addresses to the jury, when at the bar, were clear, distinct, and argumentative." As a gentleman, he possessed, in an eminent degree, those characteristics which distinguish men of rare endowment; He was well-informed, and of a lively social disposition, and in all the relations and positions of life was a model Elder Family. 161 worthy of imitation.

Mr. Elder died at Harrisburg on the 26th of September, 1815, aged forty-three years. In paying brief tributes to his memory, the newspapers of the day speak in the warmest terms of his faithfulness as a public officer, his prominence as a citizen, and the upright character of his en- tire life, passing away in the vigor of his manhood.

He removed with his parents to Berks county, where he continued his clerkship for five years, and from 1849 to 1852 was a partner with his father in the Pine Iron Works. In August of the latter year, Mr. Bailey removed to Har- risburg, Pa., and founded the old Central Iron Works. Here he continued business until 1859, when he became interested in the nail-works at Fairview, Cumberland county, rebuilt the works, and carried them on success- fully until 1866, when he retired from the firm, and in connection with his brother, Dr. George Bailey, founded and erected the Chesapeake Nail-Works in Harrisburg, now carried on under the firm name of Charles L. Bailey & Co. In 1869, Mr. Bailey removed to Pottstown, and until 1875 was the treasurer and general manager of the Pottstown Iron Company, manufacturing nails, boiler- plate, and pig-iron. Closing out his interests there, he returned to Harrisburg, and in 1877-78 erected the Cen- tral Iron-Works contiguous to the Chesapeake Nail- Works, of which he is president.

His fatlier removed to the State of Kentucky when James was in his fourth year. His thirst for knowledge was from his childhood insatiable, and his means being- limited, he began, while yet in his teens, teaching, during a portion of each year, to pay for the instruc- tion received in the Transylvania University, Lexing- ton, where lie graduated at the age of twenty-one. The following year he was invited to Cumberland, Maryland, to take charge of a classical academy at that place, then newly endowed by the Legislature. His zeal for instructing the young vv^as such that he soon made it a well-known institution, to which students came from every part of the country. In the mean time he studied law, went to Bedford, Pa., and was admitted to tlie bar there, subsequently going to Xenia, Ohio, whither his father had previously removed, where he practiced law four years. His profession did not seem to accord with the literary and scientific tendencies of his mind, and he accepted, in 1817, a call to the classical department of the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, anu that city became his home for twenty years. During this period he published several pamphlets reviewing and rejecting the theories of storms and currents which pre- vailed, and these attracted the notice of the scientists of America. Professor Espy, having formed his own theory, brought it practically to the test of many storms. In 1841 he published his great work, " The Philosophy of Storms." Prior to its publication in this form, the new- theory had caused a sensation in the principal cities of England and France, and Professor Espy was invited to visit Europe and compare his results witli those which had been reached by Eedfield, Forbes, Pouillet,rournet, and others. He accordingly visited Europe, and in Sep- 180 Pennsylvania Genealogies. tember, 1840, the British Association appointed a day to entertain the professor's statement, which was made in the presence of Professor Forbes, Mr. Redfleld, Sir John Herscliel, Sir David Brewster, and other eminent natu- ralists. The discussion wliich followed was one of the most interesting ever reported in the journals of the as- sociation. In the Academy of Sciences at Paris the in- terest was equally great, and a committee, consisting of Arago and Pouillet, was appointed to report upon Espy's observations and theory. They were satisfied of the im- portance of the theory at once, and so reported. It was in the debate which took place in the Academy at this time that Arago said, " France has its Cuvier, England its Newton, America its Espy." On his return from this satisfactory visit, Professor Espy was appointed cor- responding member of the Smithsonian Institute. In 1843 he was employed by the War Department, in the Washington Observatory, to prosecute his investiga- tions and collate the reports from the different observers throughout the country. Several quarto volumes of this matter were published by the department. The remain- der of his life was spent at the National capital, although his vacation days were enjoyed at Harrisburg, amid the society of endeared friends. On the 17th of January, 1860, while on a visit to Cincinnati, Professor Espy was stricken with paralysis, from which he died on the 24th of the same month. His remains rest in the Espy burial lot in the Harrisburg Cemetery. He married, at the age of thirty-seven, Margaret Pollard, of Cumberland, Maryland, born September 28, 1795, whose maiden name, for some fancied reason, he assumed, and was ever after- ward known as James Pollard Espy. She died May 30, 1850, and is buried by the side of her husband at Harris- burg, Pennsylvania. They left no issue. Y. David Espy,^ (Greorge,^ Josiali,i) b. about 1730, in Derry townsliip, Lancaster county, Pa. ; d. June 13, 1795, in Bedford, Penna. Studied law, and, early in life, removed to the county of Bedford, where he became quite prominent in public affairs. At the outset of the Revolution he entered heartily into the contest; was a deputy to the Provincial Con- ference held at Carpenter's Hall, Philadelphia, June 18, 1775 ; member of the Council of Safety, July 23, 1776, serving until March, 1777, and also colonel of battalion of associators ; was appointed prothonotary of the county of Bedford, December Espy Family. 181 18, 1778 ; one of the justices of that county, December 18, 1778 ; and, under the Constitution of 1789-90, prothonotarj^ register, etc., from December 23, 1790, to June 13, 1795, the date of his death.

The provincial records contain numerous references to him and his actions.

In 1812 his parents re- moved to Hanover township, Dauphin county. 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 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 1885 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 du- ties 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. Peturning 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. He was twice the recipient of the honorary degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery. He was a director of the Harris- burg National Bank, president of the board of school-direc- tors, and an elder of the First Presbyterian church there. Dr. Fleming married, June, 1852, Jennette Steeet, daughter of Col. Thaddeus Street and Martha Davenport Reynolds, of Cheshire, Conn., a lineal descendant of Rev. John Davenport, the founder of New Haven. Her maternal grandmother, Mar- Fleming Family. 205 tha Davenport, was a descendant of Oliver Wolcott, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. She resides in Harris- barg, Pa. They had issue : i. Helen-Street., b. June 2, 1853; m. I^ovember 10, 1881, Daniel Pastorious Bruner, of Columbia, Pa., a lawyer and civil engineer. n. James-Lewis, b.

He re- ceived his education in the public schools of the day, and in the Harrisburg acaden:iy, alternating later in life by teaching the classics and higher mathematics. In 1838, he began the editing of a newspaper at Harrisburg, at the same time re- porting the proceedings of the Legislature for several of the Philadelphia journals. In 1839, he commenced the study of law with William McOlure, and was admitted to the Dau- phin county bar at the November term, 1841, and has been in active practice at the courts there ever since. From 1813, he practiced in the Supreme Court of the State. In 1817, he was elected chief clerk of the House of Representatives, and served during that session. 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 his term. In the various business enterprises of the city of Harrisburg, he has taken a very prominent part, and largely interested in a number of them. Mr. Fleming married, January 1, 1852, Susan Mowey, daughter of Charles Mowry* and Mary Eichmond. They had issue : . • * Charles Mowry was born in Litchfield, Providence county, R. 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 was subsequently changed to the American Bepuhlican, and. Mr. Mowry continued its publication until 1821, when he came to Harrisburg in the interest of William Pindlay, who was a candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania for a second term, and became editor of the Pennsylvania Intelligencer, previously the Harrisburg Repub- lican. This paper he eventually disposed of to Gen. Simon Cameron, 206 Pennsylvania Genealogies. i. Charles-Moiory, b. March 9, 1853; d.

He came to America with liis father's family, and was among the first who took up land in what is now Dauphin county, Penna. He was a gentleman of means, had received a good edu- cation, and was for many years one of the Provincial magistrates. He was removed late in life, on account of his refusal to oust some squatters on Proprietary lands. He was a prominent personage, on the then frontiers of the Province, in civil affairs. During the Indian trou- bles he greatly assisted in preparing for the defense of the border settlements, and his name appears frequently in the voluminous correspondence preserved in the ar- chives of the State. He died in Paxtang, aged seventy- six years, and is buried in the old church graveyard. Mr. Forster was never married ; the principal part of his estate went to his brother, John, and nephew, Thomas Forster, the latter named for him. ii. Arthur, b. 1700 ; d. unm. in. Agnes, b. 1702, m.

He was one of the associate judges of Dauphin county, ap- pointed October 26, 1793, by Governor Mifflin, resigning De- cember 3, 1798, having been elected one of the representatives of the State Legislature that year. At the close of 1799 or early in 1800, as the agent of the Harrisburg and Presquo Isle Land company, he permanently removed to Erie. In the affairs incident to the early settlement of that town and the organiza- tion of that county, he took a prominent part. He was one of the first street commissioners of the town, president of the Erie and Waterford Turnpike company, one of the directors of the first library company and its librarian, and captain of the first 212 Pennsylvania Oenealogies. military company formed at Erie, and which, in 1812, was in service at Buffalo, Capt.

In 1760 the College of Philadelphia and Yale College conferred upon him the Master's degree. About this time he was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Philadelphia, and soon after, by request, entered the bounds of the Presbytery of Lewes, from which he was transferred to that of New Castle, accepting a call from the congregations at Georgetown, over which he was settled from 1767 to 1769. He was installed pastor of the congregations at Christiana Bridge and New Castle, Delaware, on the 16th of August, 1769, remaining there until the autumn of 1777, when he resigned, having been commissioned chaplain of Col. Small wood's (Maryland) regiment of the Continental Line. During the war his home was with his relatives in Paxtang. On the 23d of November, 1780, he was chosen by the General Assembly of Pennsylvania one of its dele- gates in Congress, and reelected the following year. He was elected a member of the Assembly of the State in 1782, serving during that session. He was chosen by that body, February 25, 1783, one of the commissioners to settle the difficulty between the State and the Con- necticut settlers at Wyoming.

He subse- quently read law with Greneral Hanna, but never applied for admission, turning his attention to mercantile pursuits, in which he was very successful. During the military era of the Gov- ernment prior to the war of 1812, he was colonel of State mi- litia, and in 1814, when the troops from Pennsylvania marched to the defense of the beleaguered city of Baltimore, he was placed in command of a brigade of volunteers. For his gal- lant services in that campaign the thanks of the general com- manding were tendered in special orders. He served in the State Senate from 1814 to 1818. Greneral Forster was cashier of the Harrisburg Bank for a period of, at least, sixteen years, established the Bank of Lewistown, and in 1840 was cashier of the Exchange Bank of Pittsburgh. He subsequently be- came president of the branch bank at HoUidaysburg, but in a few years retired from all business pursuits and returned to his home at Harrisburg.

GALBRAITH OF DONEGAL. 1. The family of Galbraitli is of the remotest antiquity — the tiame being derived from the Celtic. It was in the parish of Baldunoch, county Stirling, that the Galbraiths of Baldu- noch, chiefs of the name, had their residence. In Frazer's sta- tistical account of the inhabitants of the Isle of Gigha, the fol- lowing occurs: "The majority of them are of the names of Galbraith and McNeill, the former reckoned the more ancient. The Galbraitiis in the Gaelic language are called Breatannieh, that is Britons, or the children of the Briton, and were once reckoned a great name in Scotland according to the following lines translated from the Gaelic : " Galbraiths from the Eed Tower, Noblest of Scottish surnames." The first of the name of whom we have any mention is John Galbraith i, who was the father of the following. He probably died before the emigration of his sons from Ireland to America : 2. i. James, b. 1666; m. Kebecca Chambers. n. John ; m. and left issue, but further than tliis fact we have no knowledge. After his arrival in America he remained several years in Philadelphia. Some of his children set- tled west of the Susquehanna, in now York or Adams county, and their descendants emigrated to Kentucky. II. James Galbraith, ^ son of John Galbraith, ^ of Scotch parentage, was born, in 1666, in the north of Ireland, from whence he emigrated about the year 1718, settling in Cones- toga afterwards, Donegal, township, then Chester county, Prov ince of Penna. He was one of the founders of old Deny church, a man of prominence, and the head of a remarkable GoTbraith of Donegal. 227 family. He died August 28, 1744, and is buried in the old grave-yard at Derry. His wife was Bebecca Chambees, daughter of Arthur Chambers. Of his children, we have the following : 3. i. Johti, b. 1690 •, m. Janet . , 4. ii. Andrew, b. 1692; m. and left issue. 5. Hi. James, b. 1703; m. Elizabeth Bertram. iv.

October, 1753, in Donegal township, Lancaster county. Pa. ; settled along Donegal Meeting- House run, about one and three fourths miles below his brother, Andrew, in 1718 ; was a miller by trade, and built a grist and saw-mill, in 1721, at the run along the "great road,'' which, very likely, branched from the Paxtang and Conestoga road some miles east of Mount Joy, and extended through the Scotch-Irish settlement to the Conoy Indian town; he also kept an "ordinary; " was elected sheriff of the county of Lancaster in 1731 ; and was a member of the first jury drawn in that county. He married Janet , b. about 1693, and they had issue: 6. i. Robert, b. 1715; m. Rebecca . ii. Elizabeth. Hi. Margaret. IV. Andeew GrALBEAiTH,3 (James,^ John,i) b. about 1692, in the North of Ireland ; came to America with his father, and settled along the run which has its source at Donegal meeting- house, now Lancaster county, Penna., in the year 1718. Upon the organization of the county of Lancaster, he was appointed the first coroner, afterwards, in 1730, one of the justices of the court of common pleas and quarter sessions, a position he held six years. In 1732, he and his neighbor, George Stewart, were candidates for the General Assembly. At that time none but freeholders were allowed to vote, and the only polling place 228 Pennsylvania Genealogies. was the town of Lancaster, where all voters were obliged to go. Mr. Galbraith took no active part in the canvas himself, bnt his wife mounted her favorite mare, Nelly, and rode out through the Scotch-Irish settlement, and persuaded them to go with her to the county town. She appeared at the court-house leading a procession of mounted men, whom she halted and ad- dressed. The effect was that her husband was triumphantly elected. After his first election he seems to have had no op- position. He took out a patent for two hundred and twelve and one half acres. May 2, 1737; and was one of the first ruling elders of old Donegal church ; appointed a justice of the peace in 1730, a position he held until 1747, when he removed west of the Susquehanna; he served several years in the Provincial Assembly, and was one of the most prominent of the pioneer settlers — a safe and trustworthy offi.cer. After the year 1746, when he disposed of his farm, very little is of record concern- ing him. Of his children, we have only the following : i. John^ b. 1717; m. Jennett McCullough. a. Arthur; on the 22d of September, 1766, took up two hun- dred and fifty acres of land on Shaver's creek. Hi. Bohert, d. prior to 1768; m. and left Ann, aged sixteen years. Y.

He married, April 6, 1734, in Chrifet church, Philadelphia, Eliz- abeth -Bertram, b.,1714, in the north of Ireland; d., Febru- ary 2, 1799,' in Derry township, Dauphin county, Penna., the G 'libra ith of Donegal 1%) daughter of Rsv.

He received his education in the university of his native place, studied for the ministry, and was licensed by the Presbytery of Bangor, Ireland, who gave him "ample testimonials of his ordination, ministerial qualifications, and regular Christian con- versation." He married, about 1706, Elizabeth Gillespie, and their children were John and Elizabeth. During one of those periodical political excitements in the British Isles, the son disappeared, and his parents, under the impression he had come to America, determ- ined, if possible, to ascertain his whereabouts, and came to Pennsyl- vania about the year 1730. Failing in their search they decided to re- main in this country, and the following year we find the Rev. Mr. Bertram unanimously received by Donegal Presbytery, which he joined. At the same time George Renick presented him an invitation to settle at Paxtang and Derry, which he accepted. He was installed November 17, 1732, at the meeting-house on Swatara. The congre- gations then appointed representatives, who executed to Bertram the right and title to the "Indian town tract," situated in Hanover township, on the north side of the Swatara, containing three hundred and fifty acres. On the settlement of Rev. Bertram the congregation in Swatara took the name of Derry, and the upper congregation, on Spring Creek, was styled Paxtang. In 1735, Mr. Bertram complained of the "intolerable burden" he was under with the two congregations, and September 13, 1736, he was released' from tiie care of Paxtang. The Rev. William Bertram died on the 2d of May, 1746, aged seventy- two, and his remains are interred in Derry Church grave-yard, his wife dying prior thereto. He was a faithful minister of the Gospel. It may be stated that, thi-ough his marriage with Miss Gillespie, his descendants became heirs to a handsome estate in Edinburgh. Ef- forts were made to secure this, but the difficulties inherent upon proving descent, we presume, have been the means of keeping the rightful parties from enjoying this patrimony. 230 Pennsylvania Genealogies.

He received the best education the schools of that day afforded, and studied surveying, a profession he followed many years. During the French and Indian wars, Colonel Galbraith served as an officer in a company of rangers formed for the protection of the frontiers. From 1760 to 1775, acting in his professional capacity, he surveyed the greater portion of the lands located in the present counties of Dauphin, Perry, and Juniata. He was a member of the provincial convention of January 23, 1775 ; delegate to the provincial conference of June 18, 1776, and member of the Constitutional convention of July 15, 1776. During that year was elected colonel of one of the Lancaster battalions of associators, and on duty in the Jerseys during the greater portion of that year, serving also as a member of Oalbraith of Donegal. 231 the Assembly 1776-1777. On June 3, 1777, he was appointed county lieutenant ; November 8, one of the commissioners to collect clothing for the army ; and December 16, appointed by the Assembly to take subscriptions for the continental loan. He acted as one of the commissioners which met at New Haven, Conn., November 22, 1777, to regulate the prices of commodi- ties in the States. After four years of excessive and exhaustive labor, Colonel Galbraith was compelled to resign the office of county lieutenant, but remained in service as an officer of the militia until the restoration of peace. In 1789, he was ap- pointed one of the commissioners to view the Juniata and Sus- quehanna, and mark the places where locks or canals were necessary to render these streams navigable. He was ap- pointed deputy surveyor November 4, 1791, and, while acting as such, took up large tracts in Lykens Yalley, but, dying be- fore patents were issued to him, his heirs lost them all in the numberless litigations which ensued.

The elder Blaine, born of Scotch ancestry, came with his fam- ily from the north of Ireland, in the vicinity of Londonderry, to America prior to 1745, and settled in Toboyne township, Cumberland county. Pa. He took up a large tract of land on the south side of the Juniata river, as did each of his children a 234 Pennsylvania Genealogies. few years later. He became an influential man on the then frontiers of the Province, and was quite prominent in affairs during the French and Indian wars, as well towards the close of his life in the struggle for independence. He died at his residence in Toboyne township, in July, 1792, well advanced in years, leaving a wife, EHzabeth, and nine children. The eldest of these was Ephraim, who received a classical educa- tion at the school of the Rev. Dr. Alison, in Chester county, and was recommended by him for an ensigncy in the provin- cial service as being "a gentleman of good family." He was appointed commissary sergeant, and, during the Bouquet expe- dition to the westward in 1763, was connected with the Second Provincial regiment. From 1771 to 1773, he served as sheriff of Cumberland county. At the outset of the revolutionary struggle, he entered heartily into the contest, and assisted in raising a battalion of Associators, of which he was commissioned lieutenant colonel, holding the position until his appointment, by the Supreme Executive Council, as county lieutenant of Cumberland, April 5, 1777. This office he resigned in August following, when he entered the commissary department in the continental establishment. He was commissioned commissary general of purchases, February 19, 1778, a position he held over three years, including one of the most trying periods of the war — the cantonment at Yalley Forge. He was a man of large fortune, and the record shows that, during that long and severe winter, with the aid of personal friends, he made an advance of $600,000 for the use of the patriot army. Millions of dol- lars passed through his hands without a suspicion of his purity and disinterestedness. Owing to his personal sacrifices, how- ever. Col. Blaine's estate became impaired, although his fortune remained ample. While in the service, he enjoyed the confidence of Washington and his fellow officers. It was at his home that the first president remained during his week's stay at Carlisle when on the so-called Whisky Insurrection of 1794. Subsequently, Col. Blaine retired to his farm in Middle- ton township, Cumberland county, where he closed his emi- nently patriotic and honorable career in his sixty-third year. He was twice married — his second wife being Sarah E. Duncan; Oalhraith of Donegal. 235 widow of John Duncan, of Carlisle, and daughter of Col.

John Bell was the only child of William Bell and his wife, Catharine Park, of Scotch-Irish birth, and who came to America on the same vessel which conveyed John and Charles Wesley, the founders of Methodism. Mrs. Gal- braith, for a period of twenty 3' ears, was postmistress at Bain- bridge, resigning only by reason of her advanced years; being left a widow with a large family, she felt the necessity of bringing into action all her energies and business qualifications to the better support of her children.

His father removing to Butler county, Penna., to- wards the close of the century, he was brought up on the farm^ When a young man he commenced teaching school, and later on began the study of law in the office of Gen. William Ayres of Butler, and was admitted to the bar at the age of twenty- three. He shortly after removed to Franklin, Yenango county, Penn'a, where he rose rapidly both in his profession and in popular esteem. His first official position was as a member of Assembly, to which he was elected three times. He was elected to Congress as a democrat in 1832, 1831:, and 1838. In 1837 he removed to Erie, where he resided until his death. On retir- ing from Congress in 1840, he practiced law until the fall of 1851, when he was elected president judge for Erie, Crawford, and War- ren counties. His death occurred before the expiration of his term of office. Judge Galbraith was one of the foremost men in pro- moting the various public enterprises that gave the first strong im- pulse to Erie county. He was the pioneer in projecting the rail- road from Erie to the Ohio State line, and aided greatly in reviving the long dormant proposed railroad from Erie to Sunbury, now the Philadelpia and Erie railroad. One of his favorite ideas, the establishment of a prison for youthful offenders exclusively, has been adopted by the State in the institution at Huntingdon and elsewhere. Judge Galbraith, married in May, 1822, Amy Ayees, daughter of Kev. Robert Ayres an Episcopalian min- ister, long a resident of Brownsville, Fayette county. Pa., and a brother of Gen. William Ayres. Mrs. Galbraith died March 2, 1868, in the city of Philadelphia. They had issue : 20. i. William- Ayres, b. May 9, 1823; m. Fanny Davenport. a. Elizabeth- Ann, m. William S.

William Irvine, of the Revolution, and Anne Callender, daughter of Capt. Robert Callender, of Middlesex, Cumberland county, Pa. He was educated at Dickinson College, where he graduated; sub- sequently studied law with Judge Thomas Duncan, and was admitted to the Cumberland county bar in 1702. He after- wards located at Harrisburg, and was admitted to the Dauphin county bar at an adjourned court March, 1807. He entered the United States army as captain May 8, 1808, in the regiment of light artillery, and was stationed several years at New Or- leans. He left the army, by resignation, about 1811 or 1812, and resumed the practice of law at Sunbury. In July, 1813, he was acting Adjutant General of Pennsylvania, which duties he performed until his appointment by the President of the United States as colonel of the Forty-second regiment United States infantry, August 4, 1813. At the close of the war he resigned, and located at Harrisburg, and was appointed deputy attorney general for the counties of Dauphin and Northumber- land ; subsequently commissioned by Gov. Snyder, Septem- ber 14, 1815, escheator general of the State, which position he filled until the abolishment of the office. From 1819 to 1821 he was Adjutant General of Pennsylvania, and had previously, 1818-19, represented the county of Dauphin in the State Leg- islature, and to him is due the credit for originating the bill au- thorizing and directing the erection of the capitol building at Harrisburg. From about the year 1826 to 1850, he resided at Gettysburg. In 1847, Gov. Shunk appointed him law judge for the York and Adams district on the expiration of Judge Durkee's term, but he resigned shortly after, owing to some difficulty with the members of the bar and efforts made to im- peach him. Col. Irvine was a brilliant pleader, but not a law- yer, and hence his failure in the judicial station to which he had been elevated. He returned to Harrisburg, where he re- sumed the practice of the law for awhile, and subsequently died there. He was an excellent military officer, a gentleman GaTbraith of Donegal. 239 of fine personal appearance, tall and commanding, of good conversational powers, a delightful companion, and for a period of thirty years was quite prominent and influential in public affairs.

He was of Scotch-Irish descent, and the son of Colonel Greorge Gibson, who fell in the defeat of St. Clair, on the 4th of Nov- ember, 1791. He entered Dickinson College, graduated there- from, and entered the law office of his kinsman, Thomas Dun- can. He was admitted to the Cumberland county bar at the March term, 1803. In 1810, be was elected to the Pennsylva- nia Legislature, and in 1812, appointed president judge for the Eleventh judicial district, composed of the counties of Tioga, Bradford, Susquehanna, and Luzerne. Upon the death of Judge Brackenridge, in 1816, Governor Snyder appointed Judge Gibson associate judge of the Supreme Court of Penn- sylvania. Under the act of Assembly of April 8, 1826, the num- ber of Supreme Court judges was increased from three to five. The year following. Chief Justice Tilghman died, when Judge Gibson succeeded him. In 1838, at the date of the adoption of the then new Constitution of the State, he resigned his office, but was immediately re-appointed by Governor Eitner. In 1851, when the judiciary became elective, his seat became vacant. He, however, was reelected an associate justice, and discharged the high functions of that office until his death. No greater enconium can be passed upon him than is inscribed upon the marble shaft which marks the place of his repose — from the pen of that late eminent jurist. Jeremiah S. Black.

In September of the same year he entered Dane Law School, Harvard Univer- sity, of which Judge Joseph Story and Prof. Simon Greenleaf were the instructors, and there graduated in 1845. Returning to Erie, he began the practice of the law. In 1846 he was ap- pointed by Judge Kane, then Attorney General of the State, Deputy Attorney General for Erie county, in which oflice he continued until 1850. Taking an active part in politics, he was a delegate to the Democratic State convention of 1846, and of several succeeding ones. He was a delegate to the JSTational convention at Charleston in 1860, and at Chicago in 1864. In 1876 he was elected president judge of Erie county, as a people's candidate, although the Republican party ticket had about 2,600 majority. His term of office expires in 1887.

Andrew GtREGG, who served as member and Senator in the councils of the nation from 1791 to 1813, left anfinished a sketch of family history which he commenced preparing in his old age, for " my own satisfaction," as he expresses it, " than for any other reason," which is interesting enough to excite a general regret that he did not complete it. He says : My parents were both natives of Ireland. My father, whose name was Andrew, was born within the Liberties of London- derry, where the family resided. His father's name was John, and there my knowledge of ancestry in that line stops. I never heard him say from whom his father had descended, but believe, from information derived through other channels, that they were a Scotch family, which migrated to Ireland soon after the accession of William and Mary to the British throne. My grandfather had three sons, John, David, and Andrew, and one daughter named Eachel, John remained in Ireland engaged in the business of trading, and became wealthy. He had a son called Andrew, who came to this country on business of his father's while I was at the academy in Newark, (Dela- ware,) where he called to see me, but I unfortunately happened to be away, and we never met. He returned to Ireland, and on his father's death succeeded him in the management of his business. David and my father and their sister Eachel all married in Ireland, and all came to this country in the same vessel. They landed at Boston, and traveled into New Hampshire, where David settled and raised a large family, some of whose de- scendants occupy the very spot where he made his first estab- lishment. I have received letters from three young men. who trace their origin back to that root, and who, I would pi-esume, 16 242 Pennsylvania Genealogies. judging from their letters, are men of considerable promise. One of tLem, a full namesake of mine, is living, as a trader, in the northern part of the State of New York or at Montreal. Another, I think, is a clergyman, settled near Salem, Mass., where his father resides pursuing the business of a chemist. The third became a lawyer, and is now settled at Indianapolis. I will here just mention two anecdotes calculated to show that family relationship is often discovered by family likeness in branches far removed from the original stock. While in Congress, in 1793 or '94, Mr. Forster, a member of that body from the State of New Hampshire, asked me if I had any re- lations in that State. On my answering in the affirmative, he said he had been led to make the inquiry struck with the im- posing likeness betwixt me and Colonel Gregg, who had been the opposing candidate to him at the late election. On my first introduction to Governor Clinton, when he be- ' came Yice President, he asked me whether I was a native of Pennsylvania. I told him I was. He then said there is so strik- ing a resemblance betwixt you and a young man named James Gregg, who was a lieutenant in my brigade during the Eevo- lution, that when I saw you my first impression was that you must be his brother. He was of a New England family then settled in the State of New York. He then related the story, often published in the newspapers, of that officer having been shot, scalped, and left for dead by the Indians, and rescued by a detachment sent by the commanding ofiicer of the garrison,* where he had been stationed, and directed to the place where he lay, by his dog. My father and Solomon Walker, the husband of their sister, Rachel, not pleased with the prospect of a settlement in New Hampshire, returned to Boston, and shipped for Philadelphia, but landed at Newcastle. I do not recollect the particular year of their arrival, but it was during the administration of Sir William Keith, and most probably in the autumn of 1732.f The winter immediately succeeding their landing *Fort Schuyler, N. Y., Dr. Lossing relates the story in 1st vol. Field Book of the Revolution, page 252. t Quaere, 1726 ? Oregg and Cartin. 243 they spent at a furnace, belonging to Keith, on Christiana creek near the town of Newark in the State of Delaware, In the following spring thev moved up the country and com- menced their settlement at a place called. Chestnut Level, near the southern bounds of Lancaster countj^ In making their location they were both unfortunate, my father doubly so. Not being qualified to judge of land by superficial appearance, their attention was arrested by the flourishing growth of young chestnut timber with which that district was covered, and they concluded that land which produced such thrifty timber was just what they were in pursuit of. In proceeding onwards the fine, fertile valleys of Pequea and Conestoga lay before them, and a five pound warrant, followed up by settlement, would have insured them four hundred acres of land, which, at the present time, would sell from $50 to $100 per acre. In addi- tion to the injudicious selection made by my father, a warrant had. issued, for it to William Meteer, of a date anterior to his settlement. He continued to reside on it until 1748, when, to avoid a law suit, he sold his claim to his adversary. During the residence of my father at Chestnut Level, his wife died, leaving him with six children. He became the hus- band of my mother in somewhat less than two years after the death of his first wife. My mother's maiden name was Jane Scott. Her father, AVilliam Scott, lived in the county of Ar- magh, Ireland, whence he emigrated and settled at Chestnut Level. His family, at the time of his arrival, consisted of him- self, wife, two sons, Moses and Thomas, and four daughters, Elizabeth, Margery, Jane, my mother, and Fanny. Moses set- tled, and lived until his death, near Newark, Delaware. He was a respectable man, and possessed good standing both in church and State. He raised a large family, the majority of them sons. Thomas, with his family, migrated to the western part of Virginia. I never heard anything farther of them. Elizabeth married David Montgomery, they settled and died near the Rock-fish gap in Virginia. I remember having seen them once on a visit at my father's, and some time after, two of their sons and a daughter paid us a visit. The young men, I well recol- 244 Pennsylvania Genealogies. lect, had a genteel appearance, and the daughter was accounted a beauty, and was nick-named the " Morning Star," on account of the effulgence of her complexion. Margery was married to Hugh Caldwell. They lived and died in Lancaster county, near McCall's ferry. They had three sons and two daughters. The eldest son, Matthew, was killed at the battle of Long Island ; their second son, Samuel, was drowned in the Susquehanna, at McCall's ferry, m a manly at- tempt to save some of the passengers of a sinking boat. He was in the store when the fiat went down, and being a good swimmer, he plunged in and brought one person to the shore, but in the second attempt he failed, some of the drowning per- sons got hold of him, and all sank together. Fanny, the younger sister, was married to Andrew Baxter, who owned a valuable property in liancaster county, which he imprudently sold, and moved to North Carolina, and there was inhumanly murdered by the Tories during the Eevolutionary war. The family, I believe, is extinct, except one son, who lives in Georgia. My father having sold his claim in Chestnut Level, set out some time in the year 1748 in quest of another residence. He traveled up the Susquehanna river to Swatara creek, and was nearly purchasing two plantations on the south side of the creek where the turnpike road now crosses it. Eighty pounds Pennsylvania currency was the price. He crossed the river where Harrisburg now stands, and traveled up Cumberland A^alley. He met a certain Robert Amon, of Chester county, from whom he purchased a warrant for three hundi^ed acres of land, including an improvement on the north side of the Conedoguin- ett. Here terminated his expeditionary survey. He returned home and made the necessary arrangements for the removal of his family to his new purchase. On the settlement in Chestnut Level becoming sufficiently numerous, they formed a Presbyterian congregation, built a meeting-house, and invited Rev. Mr. Thorn to become their pastor. He accepted their call, and on organizing a session, my father was elected a member of it, and continued so until his Oregg and Gurtln. 245 removal. Mr. Thorn's certificate of this circumstance is some- where among my papers. When very young, I have noticed an old-fashioned sword and espontoon laying up stairs among other lumber. I recollect my mother saying that her grandfather had worn the sword in King William's army, at the battle of Boyne, and my father saying- he carried the espontoon. Mr. Gregg's manuscript ends abruptly, but from it, and other data in our possession, we have the following record of the family : 1. John Gregg, ^ of Bally-arnat, near Londonderr}^, Ireland, was the son of An'DREW Gregg,^ a native of Ayreshire, Scot- land. The son was possibly born in Caledonia, and with his father's family migrated to Ireland during the great influx. Andrew Gregg was within the walls of Londonderry during the great siege, 1688-89. Tlie children of John Gregg were : %. John; probably lived and died at Bally-arnat, Ireland. His son, William, emigrated to America, and settled in' Paxtang township. Lancaster county, Penn'a, where lie died in July, 1744: ; by his will he left his estate to his uncle, Andrew Gregg, then in America, to his father, and to his sister, Elizahetli Lang, of Bally-negallah, near Londonderry, Ireland. ii. David; came to America, in 1722, and settled in London- derry, New Hampshire; he married, in 1713, Mary Evans, of Londonderry, Ireland, and their descendants have not only been numerous, but many of them quite prominent in public affairs.

Andrew Gregg received his early educa- tion at Eev. John Steel's Latin School in Carlisle, and com- pleted his education at Newark, Delaware ; while at the latter place he served several tours in the militia of the Revolution. In 1779, he accepted the tutorship in the college (now univer- sity) at Philadelphia, under Drs. Smith and Ewing, where he remained until his removal to Middletown, Pa., where he was engaged for four years in the mercantile business. On his marriage he removed to Lewistown, which was then, 1787, being laid out by General Potter and Major Montgomery, and in 1789 he removed to Penn's Valley, Centre county, two miles east of the '' Old Fort." His public services commenced No- vember 8, 1791, as a member of the House of Representatives of the L^nited States, where he remained sixteen years, and in 1807 was chosen United States Senator, which exalted station he occupied until the 3d day of March, 1813. In 1814, he removed to Bellefonte, ip order the better to educate his family, and was elected first president of the " Centre Bank." On the 19th of December, 1820, Mr. Gregg was appointed Secretary of the Conmionwealth, by Governor Hiester, and on the 15th Oregg and Curtin. 247 of May, 1823, nominated for Governor, in opposition to Mr. Shulze. Mr. Grregg had strong party predelictions, but was remarkable for independence, always acting according to the convictions of liis conscience, though they differed sometimes from the views of his party associates. He was, while in office, the representative of the interests of his constituents, not of their limited views of subjects of moment He was an elegant classical scholar, and had acquired extensive general informa- tion which large experience and deep reflection had molded to practical purposes. He was a man of vigorous constitution, preserved intact by a life of temperate habits and industry until he reached the age of four score years. Andrew Gregg m., January 29, 1787, Martha Potter, b.

On the 17tli of January, 1855, he was appointed Sec- retary of the Commonwealth bj Governor Pollock, and in virtue of his office became Superintendent of the Public Schools. His superintendence has one great landmark, the institution of normal schools. In 1860, he was elected Gov- ernor of Pennsylvania. His administration of that office dur- ing the war gave him renown throughout the country, and added historic grandeur to the annals of his native Common- wealth. His foresight caused the organization of the Pennsyl- vania Reserves, and contributed largely to save our National Government, imperilled by the disaster of Bull Run. His ever enduring record, however, in connection with the war, was the establishment of orphan schools for the children of those who fell in the service of their country. In 1869, he was appointed, by President Grant, Minister to Russia.

Feb- ruary 28, 1802, in Lebanon, Pa, His ancestors were of the best known families of his native place. He received a good German and classical education, and came to America in 1749, on the ship " Phoenix," John Mason, master, from Potterclam, arriving at Philadelphia on the loth of September. He at first located in Cocalico township, Lancaster county, where he took up one hundred acres of land, February 28, 175-1, subsequently removing to Lebanon township. At the outset of the Revolu- tion, he entered heartily into the struggle, and during the en- tire war was more or less in active service. Upon the organ- ization of the associated battalions, he was commissioned colo- nel of the First battalion of Lancaster county. He was with Washington, during the Jersey campaign of 1776, at Trenton and Princeton. His battalion was at Brandy wine and Germantown, and the conduct of Colonel Greenawalt during the former en- gagement received the commendation of the commander-in- chief for efficiency and gallantry, especially in the protection of the Continental supplies. He was appointed. May 6, 1778, one of the agents for forfeited estates. At the close of the war he retired to his farm, and, like many more of the brave officers of that struggle for independence, poorer in purse, but conscious of having done his duty to his country. The Assembly of the State appointed him one of the commissioners to take subscrip- tions for the Continental loan, December 16, 1777, and, during the darkest hour of the struggle, he did effective service in col- lecting blankets, food, and forage for the half-starved and half- clad army at Valley Forge, and for most of which he was never 2. i. 3. a. 4.

December 7, 1803, at Elizabethtown, Lancaster county. Pa., buried at Harrisburg, Penn'a. His parents were descendants of what is known in Ireland as " Cromwellians," a people who have ever proved the most loyal subjects of England, and the history of Brit- ish arms is their patrimony. At the age of twenty-seven years we find him in His Majesty's service in the Enniskillen regiment of foot, as sergeajit, served with that command in North America; disabled by a wound in the left hand, June 8, 1767, and honorably discharged therefor. Left Montreal and went to Newburyport, in the Massachusetts colony, where he resided until the breaking out of the Kevolutionary war. In 1775, he i-emoved to Carlisle, Penn'a, and on the 9tli of January, 1776, he was commissioned second lieutenant in the Penn'a Line. During the occupancy of York by Congress in 1778, he was appointed, by General Gates, town major with rank of captain, and acting commissary of supplies. At the close of the war he was at Elizabethtown, Lancaster county, Penn'a, where he re- mained a brief period, subsequently returning to Carlisle. About 1784, he removed to Paxtang near Harris' Ferry, where he purchased land, and where he lived the remainder of his days.

July 19, 1880, in Harrisburg, Pa. ; son of William Calder (1788-1861) and Mary Kirkwood (1790- 1858.) With only a limited education, he was inducted into the business of his father at an early age. When only sixteen he was placed in charge of the Philadelphia packet from Columbia to Pittsburgh. In 1851 he assumed the entire man- agement of his father's affairs, and in 1857 undertook the com. pletion of the Lebanon Valley railroad, employed six hundred men, finished the road and paid his men in full. In 1858, he became a member of the well-known banking firm of Cameron, Calder & Co., which afterwards became the First National Bank of Harrisbarg, of whicb Mr. Calder was chosen president. The same year he was elected a director of the Northern Central railway, and was active in preserving Pennsylvania's interests in that corporation. At the breaking out of the Rebellion he rendered the government important service through his large knowledge in the purchase of horses, and supplied the govern- ment with no less than forty-two thousand horses and sixty- seven thousand mules, establishing the price (^$125 and $117 50) so low as to effect a very great saving to the government in this department. Mr. Calder was always foremost in the pro- - motion of industrial enterprises. He was one of the founders of the Harrisburg Car Works, the Lochiel Boiling-Mills, the Harrisburg Cotton-Mills, Foundry and Machine Works, the Fire-Brick Works, the Pennsylvania Steel Works, &c. In 1873 he was appointed by Governor Hartranft a trustee of the Pennsylvania State Lunatic Hospital, and reappointed in 1876. In 1876 he was appointed by the same Governor a member of Oreenawalt of Lebanon. 265 the commission to devise a plan for the government of cities, and in 1880, just prior to his death, was elected a director of the Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf and Dumb. For many years he ably officiated in the management of city af- fairs through its councils, and his social qualities gathered about him a host of warm personal friends. He was among the founders of the Harrisburg Hospital and the Grace Methodist Episcopal church, of which he was an attendant. He was formerly a Whig, latterly a Republican, and influential in local and State politics, and one of the Presidential electors in 1876. William Calder and his wife had issue (surname Calder) : i.

About this time, county Colerain became "Deny," and the city "Londonderry," in what is known in the State papers as " the settlement of Ulster," in Ireland. Thus the ancestry of this family obtained a portion of the 15,000 acres granted, in 1609, to the English and Scots of Colerain. Mrs. Judge McLean, born Sarah Bella Chambers Ludlow, of Cincinnati, who married, first, Hon. Jeptha D, Garrard, of Kentucky, secondly, Hon. John McLean, of Ohio, .Postmaster General and Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, thus writes of her maternal ancestry : " The maiden name of my grandmother Chambers was Catharine Hamilton. She was thie daughter of John Hamilton and Lsa- bella Potter. This Hamilton was a descendant, in the second degree, of a Duke of Hamilton. The coat-of-arms and records of his descent were carefully presei-ved by the family of my grandfather. General Chambers, for many years after his mar- riage to Catharine Hamilton, as a cherished relic; but in the infancy of the American republic, and the essential and con- sistent training of the distinguished patriot and his accom- plished wife, the children were taught to abhor aristocracy or anything like it. So the two tin cases containing the proofs of these honors became playthings, and eventually disappeared, leaving only the certificate of General James Chambers, of Franklin county, Pennsylvania, commander of the first Penn- sylvania regiment in the Pevolutionary war, as a member of the Society of the Cincinnati. This has escaped fire, flood, misfortunes, and emigration, and is carefully preserved as an abiding evidence of his services, character, and patriotism." The American history of this family will be learned in what Hamilton Family. 267 follows. It is not necessary to repeat details of the connection with its Scotch and Irish ancestry.] I. James Hamilton, ^ and Kathaeine, his wife, emigrated from Lanarkshire, Scotland, to the " free lands of Ulster," in Ireland, where he became " a considerable land-holder," An only child was born to them on the banks of the Foyle, in the county Tyrone. II. John Hamilton, 2 son of James, ^ b. January, 1702 ; d. June 5, 1755, and is buried at New London Cross-roads, Chester county, Penn'a. By will, he left a farm to his daughter, Katha- rine, and a farm and mill to his son, John, in then Cumber- land, now Perry and Juniata counties, Penn'a, He was a re- spectable and intelligent man, of means and standing. He re- sided on a farm in Chester county, Pennsylvania, which he purchased in 1742, a short time after his arrival in this country. At the period of his second marriage he was a well-established farmer and miller. The family have preserved no account of the personal appearance of John Hamilton, as he died when his only son John was a lad of six years of age, and his daughter Katharine a young girl ; but it has been told that he " was stoutly built, of handsome stature, florid complexion, and a Presbyterian." His will is dated May 31, 1755, and is recorded in Chester county. He m., first, January 6 1735, by the Rev. Baptist Boyd, of Aghalow, Isabella Potter, b. 1710; died Friday, September 25, 1741, on shipboard, and buried at New Castle, September 26, 1741. She was sister of John Potter, who emigrated with John Hamilton to America " on the ship Donegal, arriving at New Castle, on the Delaware, Friday, September 26, 1741." Mr. Potter was the first sheriff of Cum- berland county, and the ancestor of Major Greneral James Potter of the Eevolution. By this marriage they had issue : i. James., b.

Slie was the daughter of Eobert and Mary Allen, granddaughter of Captain Thomas Allen, of " His Majesty's ship Quaker, on the Chesapeake bay in 1684, and commander in the Virginia waters." She was a woman of un- usual force of character, and educated with great care. They had issue : 4. iv. John, b. June 17, 1749 ; m. Margaret Alexander. Mrs. Hamilton married, a second time, John Mitchell, an Irish gentleman, who died many years before her. By this marriage there was no issue. 11]^ Katharine Hamilton, ^ (John,^ James, i) b.

James Chambers was a distinguished officer in the war of the Revolution, having served as captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, and brigadier general, and in civil life as judge and other official positions.

Hamilton Family. 269 in New London, Chester county, Pennsylvauia ; d. August 28, 1793, at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Under tlie will of his father he inherited a " plantation and fulling-miil, bought of James Long, on Shearman creek, in Cumberland county," (Perry county.) He was but six years of age at the death of his father. He was educated, principally in the celebrated academy of Eev. Mr. Alison, Chester county. When upon a visit to his pat- rimony in the Juniata region, he was attracted to the superior excellence of a tract of land called "Fermanagh," now in Ju- niata county. He purchased it. On the Shearman's creek farm Hugh Alexander was his adjoining neighbor ; he became at- tached to his daughter, and at twenty-three years of age he married her; established himself at "Fermanagh," and erected a large stone mansion. This house is standing. It has been occupied by himself, his son John, and now, with some alter- ation and addition, by a grandson, Hugh Hamilton. He be- came, by successful industry, and in right of his mother, Jane Allen Hamilton, of great fortune for his day. The inventory of personal property at his death, in 1793, makes his effects in money, £7,500. At that moment he had active enterprises of various kinds in full operation — at Lost creek, at Fermanagh, in Shearman's valley, and at Harrisburg, where he owned prop- erty appraised at more than £50,000. He also erected mills on Lost creek and Shearman's creek. He was one of the original lot-holders at Harrisburg upon the laying out of the town, owning No. 21, on Front street. One of his largest houses was that at the south-east corner of the Market square ; another on his lot. Front street and Raspberry alley. He was unques- tionably the most enterprising man in the small community that afterwards became Harrisburg. As early as 1772 he em- ployed at his warehouse and stores, on what is now Mulberry street, between Second and Third streets, "as many as fifteen mules, and a far greater number of horses, upon which he sent nails and salt and other merchandise to Pittsbu.ra:h." Sending nails to Pittsburgh at this date would be reversing the usual course of trade. He was one of the last of those in the interior who held slaves, a half dozen in all. All but one continued in the family until the death of his widow, not 270 Pennsylvania Genealogies. as slaves, but as free laborers on the farms. Mr. Hamilton was the leader of a company of cavalry during the Eevolu- tion, and was out in two campaigns, 1776 and 1781. In the family records of the McAllisters, of Lost Creek, Juniata, one of whom married a grand-daughter of Captain Hamilton, we have the following narrative: " The American army, Decem- ber, 1776, shattered, disheartened, and decreasing daily, were making precipitate retreat across Jersey into Pennsylvania, before the victorious army of Howe and Cornwallis. In this gloomy hour a meeting of the people was called at the farm of Mr. William Sharon within a couple of miles of Mr. Hugh McAllister's, near the present town of Mexico, to consult and devise measures to reinforce Washington and the army. All the neighbors below the Narrows met. John Hamilton, of Fermanagh, was made chairman. It was unanimously agreed to raise a company of mounted men. All were young men, with younger families, but they did not hesitate. They agreed to marcli. Hamilton pledged himself to start immediately, then McAllister and Sharon. The former was chosen captain, the latter lieutenants, and in two days they were off, more than eighty strong, riding the first day to the mouth of the Swatara, over snow many inches in depth. They reached camp, on the Pennsylvania side, below Trenton, the day after the Hessians were captured." None but men with their whole hearts in the cause would have made such a dreary march in a most inclement winter, unless thoroughly in earnest. This was the sentiment that actuated all the frontier setlers. Their actions were in accordance with this craving for freedom. It made the Revolution a success. It is only necessary to add that nearly the whole expense of this effort fell upon the captain, and that he was never reimbursed. His widow, in after da_ys, remarked, the " Lord paid us back in prosperity, and with liberty to enjoy our own." In 1793, Harrisburg was scourged by a pestilence resembling yellow fever, an epidemic that then prevailed at Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New York. One of its victims was Mr. Hamilton.

In 1780, he entered the service, and was with the armj^ until after the capitulation at Yorktown. Upon his dis- charge he was placed with James Clunie, a merchant at Hummelstown, second sheriff of Dauphin county, at a 18 274 Pennsylvania Genealogies. salary of one hundred dollars a year and boarding. In this period he taught himself con\reyancing and surveying. In 1785 he located at Harrisburg, in partnership with Mr. Clunie, In 1788 he was one of the members of the famous "Harrisburg Conference." He was one of the first managers of the library company, established in 1787, and the same year elected a commissioner of the county ; one of the trustees of the Harrisburg Academy, 1788 ; treasurer of the Presbyterian con- gregation in 1790 ; chosen captain of the first volunteer com- pany upon the resignation of General Hanna, and president of the first tire company, and in 1792 appointed an associate judge. In 1796 Mr. Kean purchased, with John Elder, Jr., ISTew Market forge, about three miles from Palmyra, and removed thence. Was elected to the State Senate, and reelected in 1798, serving until 1802. In 1805 he was appointed by Gov- ernor McKean Ptegister General, serving for three years. He removed to Philadelphia in 1810, was a merchant there, re- turned to Harrisburg in 1813, was again appointed justice of the peace by Governor Snyder, which office he filled until his death. He was an active and influential citizen of the Com- monwealth for many years. Judge Kean married in 1786 Mary Whitehill, daughter of Robert Whitehill, of Cum- berland county. By her he had one daughter, Eleanor, who married, March 24, 1808, William Patton, M. D., son of Thomas Patton and Eleanor Fleming, born in 1775, in Derry township, Lancaster, now Dauphin, county.

Judge Henry bad ordered the prothonotary to issue commis- sions on parchment. Accordingly the descendants of the young lawyer have his commission "on parchment,'' issued 21st of June, 1805, signed by "Joshua Elder, Pro'thy, by order of the Court,"' with the seal of the county attached. In 1808, Mr. Hamilton edited and published The Times, at Lancaster, and upon the i-emoval of the seat of government to Harrisbnrg, with William Gillmor, The Harrishurg Chronicle.^ the leading and influential newspaper at the State capital for twenty years. The Chronicle was the first paper in Pennsylvania which gave full and systematic legislative reports. Mr. Hamilton was a vigorous and polished writer, and his editorials and letters models of elegant composition, and much of it has been pre- served. For a quarter of a century he wielded considerable political influence through his newspaper. He was an active and enterprising citizen, twice chief burgess of Harrisbnrg, fre- quently a member of its council, and highly esteemed in social intercourse. Mr. Hamilton, m.

April 17, 1872, at Harrisbnrg, and there buried ; daughter of Adam Boyd and Jeannette MacFarlane.* They had issue: *Adam Boyd, son of John Boyd and Elizabeth Young, was a na- tive of Northampton county, Pa^., born in 1746. His ancestors were of that sturdy and feJfrless race who, after winning religious liberty at home, braved the perils of the ocean and a life in the wilds of America, that they might establish civil and religious freedom in the Kew World. The ancestor of this family was Adam Boyd, an officer of the rank of captain in the army sent by Charles I to Ireland* on the roll of Scottish division June 5, 1649. As was usual in Scotland, one of the sons, Adam (2) went into the Church ; his son Adam (3) was also a Presbyterian clergyman. Early in 1714, his son John (4) and a younger brother, Rev. Adam Boyd left their native land, Scot- land, arriving at Philadelphia in the summer of that year. John m., the year following, Jane Craig, daughter of Thomas Craig, and sub- sequently became (1728) one of the first emigrants to the "Irish Settle- menl?," now in Northampton county.

In 1777 he was honorably discharged. He at once entered the army proper, holding the same rank therein. He was at the bat- tles of Brandywine and Germantown, with two of his brothers, one of whom, John, was killed in the latter engagement. Subsequently, Lieut. Boyd acted as " master of wagons," with the rank of captain, and as such remained with the army until the surrender of York- town. Passing Harris ferry, in the spring of 1782, to the home of his mother, near ISTewville, Mr. Boyd was struck with the immense ad- vantages offered by the location of the proposed town. He subse- quently purchased of the proprietor a lot on the corner of Second and Mulberry streets. 1\\ 1784 he became a permanent resident. The dwelling-house erected by him in J792 on lots 210 and 212 of the orig- inal plan of the borough, on Second below Mulberry, is yet in the ownership of his descendants. Under the first charter of Harrisburg in 1791, he was chosen a burgess. Dr. Jolui Luther being the other. In 1792 he was elected treasurer of the county, and held the office until 1806, when he declined a reelection. In 1809, Mr. Boyd was elqcted a director of the poor, and during his term of office, the county poor-house and mill were erected under his direction. Mr. Boyd d. on the 14th of May, 1814; was interred in the Presbyterian grave- yard, of which he was an elder. Subsequently his remains were re- moved to the Harrisburg cemetery. In private trusts Mr. Boyd was very frequently employed. His correspondence and accounts are pre- cise and methodical, particularly the care with which he managed the estate of the.

In 1826 he was licensed by the Lutheran Synod of Pennsyl- vania, and the same year began his ministerial labors at Manchester, Md. Thence he removed to Mechanicsburg, Pa., where he continued in the pastorate until a short period before his death, his enfeebled health obliging him to resign his charge. The Rev.

July 14, 1798, at Elizabetbtown, Pa. ; d. January 26, 1863, at Middletown, Pa. At a proper age he went to Harrisburg, Pa., to learn the mercantile business. Afterwards lie engaged in said occupation in that place, and then moved to Middletown, where he continued keeping store till near the close of his life. In the year 1824 he became ac- quainted with Eev. John Winebrenner, who visited Middle- town to preach the Grospel, and under him became converted. At the first opportunity he identified himself with the Church of God, being one of the original members of that denomination in Middletown, where he continued to be among its most active workers until his death. His name appears as a ruling elder in the journal of the Fourth Annual Eldership, held at Mid- dletown, December 25, 1833. He was licensed to preach at the Seventh Annual Eldership which convened at Churchtown, Cumberland county, JSTovember 5, 1836. At the time of his death he was a member of the board of publication, and treas- urer of the General Eldership, as well as treasurer of the East Pennsylvania Eldership. He traveled and labored in the min- istry, at protracted and other meetings, " without money and without price," and was an eminently successful revival preacher. His liberality and benevolence were well known at home, and in all the churches. His warmth of heart and affection made him beloved by all his acquaintances. He was a strict dis- ciplinarian, and a great lover of order. Besides, he carried his religion into his business, being scrupulously truthful and honest in all his dealings, loving justice and hating sin in every form. He was devotedly attached to the doctrines of the Ch urch of God, fearlessly defended them, and worked actively to es- tablish them. Catharine Kunkel and Joseph Ross had issue (surname Ross) : i.

XL John Christian Kunkel,^ (George, ^ Christian, ^ John Christian,!) b. September 18, 1816, in Harrisburg, Pa. ; d. Oc- tober 14, 1870, in Harrisburg, Pa. ; he received a liberal scien- tific and classical education in the schools at Gettysburg and at Jefferson College, Canonsburg, at which latter institution he graduated. After leaving college, he entered Carlisle law school under Judge Eead, subsequently reading law with Family of Kunhel. 315 James McCormick, and admitted to the Dauphin county bar. After his admission to the bar, he remained several years in the office with Mr. McCormick. He rapidly gained a large practice and a reputation whicli few members of the bar enjoy. He also became active in politics, and, in the earnest and ex- citing campaign of 1844, when the young men of the nation had made Henry Clay, then in the zenith of his career, their standard-bearer, the best talent and the most brilliant eloquence that ever graced the American rostrum was called into requisi- tion. Amid all the magnificent display and power of logic, that of the young orator of Pennsylvania, as Mr. Kunkel was recognized, was conspicuous as well for force of argument as for grace of delivery. The same year he was elected to the Legislature, reelected in 1845, and again in 1850. In 1851, he was elected to the State Senate, and was chosen Speaker of that body at the close of the first session of his term. As a legis- lator, Mr. Kunkel was prominent for the wisdom of his coun- sel as well as for the power of his eloquence. His services at the capital added greatly to his already wide reputation as a pure statesman and accomplished scholar. In 1854, and again in 1856, he was elected to the United States Congress. During the four years he spent in Washington city, he was regarded throughout the country as one of the ablest statesmen at the National capital. In 1858, he retired from public life, and gave his exclusive attention to the practice of his profession, vary- ing the course of his life by occasionally helping a friend in a political canvass, and, wherever he went, he was always the favorite of the people. In 1868, he was stricken down with paralysis, and never fully regained his health, dying as pre- viously-stated. Perchance, the loss of no member of the Dau- phin county bar was so severely felt as that of Mr. Kunkel, if we are to judge of the glowing, sincere, and fraternal tributes paid to his memory by his brethren in the profession at the time of his death.

William Lm]sr,i the ancestor, emigrated from the north of Ireland, in 1732, and settled in Chester county. According to family tradition, his wife died in Ireland, and he brought with him an only son, William. They remained in Chester county but a few years, when, following the tide of emigration, they settled upon the frontiers of the Purchase of October, 1736, near what is now known as Roxbury, in Franklin county. The names of William Linn, senior, and William Linn, junior, appear on the assessment list of Lurgan township, Cumberland county, for the year 1751, one year after the erection of Cum- berland county, (1750.) Here the ancestor died, having nearly reached the one hundredth year of his age. His father fought on the side of "The Orange" at Boyne, July 1, 1690, and w^as said to have been in Captain Hugh Wilson's company, the- first Irish officer who crossed the river. Hugh Wilson's son went to the "Irish Settlement; " the Grreggs came to Chester county the same year the Linns came — the descendants of these three soldiers of Boyne-water became kindred in 1869, when Wil- liam H. Sage, of Ithaca, JST. Y., was married to Jennie, daughter of Hon. Andrew Grregg Curtin, {see Gregg and Cur- tin record?) II.

He was of Quaker lineage. His middle name was derived from his uncle, the skillful conveyancer and great scrivener of provincial days. He received a liberal edu- cation under Kobert Proud, the historian, and at the age of six- teen already formed plans of extensive literary work. He was apprenticed to Alexander Wilcox, an eminent lawyer, but oc- cupied himself with literary instead of legal studies. In 1796, he removed to the city of New York, where he devoted him- self to letters with great eagerness to become conspicuous as a writer. In 1798, appsared his iirst novel, " Wieland," a pow- erful and original romance, and in 1799, " Osmond, or The Second Witness." At this time he had begun no less than five novels, two of which. -'Arthur Mervyn" and Edgar Hunt" Linn of Lurgnn. 827 ley," were soon published. In " Arthur Merwyn" the ravages of the yellow fever, which the author had witnessed in New York, in 1798, and Philadelphia, in 1793, are painted with terrific truth. These were followed by others of more or less note. He published a number of political pamphlets, and edited with ability the American Register. He was a man of romantic temper, extensive attainments, and great industry. He was the first in America who ventured to pursue literature as a profession. To him, his country is indebted for the high literary standard he gave it. His life and correspondence edited by William Dunlap, in two volumes, was published in 1815.

After his farm life, his business was teaming, and many yeai-s were spent in transportation service, the turn pike filling the place for commercial purposes then, which is now occupied by the railroad. After his marriage, he became the owner of a large farm east of Mount Pleasant, which he operated in conjunction with his other enterprises. He con- tinued to reside on his farm until the increasing infirmities of an honorable old age admonished him that the heat and burden of the day should be borne by ^^ounger shoulders. He accord- ^ Midler and Lohmgier. 441 inglj built a handsome residence in the town and in 1882, removed into it. From that time he spent the evening of his life in well-earned leisure. In 1840, he became a member of the Middle Presbyterian church, and continued au active supporter there until the Memorial Presbyterian church was formed, when he, with his family, transferred their membership to the new congregation. He had a large circle of acquaintances by whom he was highly respected for his sterling qualities of mind and heart. The Mount Pleasant Journal^ in a brief sketch of him said : " He goes to his rest as a sheaf of golden grain ready for the harvest. Having served the Master for nearly half a century, he has passed to his reward. The funeral took place on May 19, the services being conducted by Revs. Bradley, Moore, and Reynolds. The obsequies were held in the Memo- rial church, and the interment took place at the Middle Presby- terian cemetery."

In 1812, he and his son, James, volunteered in the brigade of Gen. Reasin Beall, organized for the defence of the border set- tlers in the North-West. While quartered at Fort Meigs, the army became much distressed for want of provisions ; the roads to the settlements were long, rough, and in poor condition, passing mostly through dense forests, and across marshes and bogs. The quantity of forge consumed by the cavalry, as well as supply of the quartermaster's department for the troops, made it difficult to furnish the necessary rations at the proper time. On more than one occasion the troops were on the point of starvation, and this, with, the inclemency of the weather, made their sLifferings almost unbearable. Several reminiscences of this period, in Mr. Murray's history, have been preserved to us, which show, that under the most adverse circumstances, his mother wit, and his indomitable energy never forsook him, while his patriotism was none the less enthusiastic by his many deprivations. After Gen. Beall returned, the father and son served a second enlistment, and were at the battle of Fort Meigs 444 Pennsylvania Genealogies. In that contest the elder Murray was separated from his com" pany, and the grass being very tall it was presumed by his comrades that he had been killed and scalped by the Indians. After a few hours, he appeared in the camp amid the cheers of his companions at his safe return. Upon the expiration of his term of service, he returned to his home in Stark county, where he remained until 1815, when he removed to what is now Orange township, then Richland county, O. It is said of him, that although his education was defective, he had a very retentive memory, and enjoyed at the close of his long life, the relation of the exploits and border achievements of himself and other early pioneers in that section of Ohio. In many respects he was a remarkable man, and was all his life-time active, energetic, and industrious. On the 4th of July, the year he was ninety- nine years of age, he rode to Ashland in a buggy, walked about one mile during the day and returned home, some three miles, in the evening. He voted for ten diilerent Presidents of the United States. Mr. Murray m., September 2, 1786, at Harris- burg, Penn'a, by Rev.

It is not definitely known whether either the Murrays or Lindley s came direct from Scotland or had sojourned in Ireland for some time. William Murray d. on his farm July 21:, 1773, his wafe probably preceding him. They had issue, among others : 4. i. James, b. 1729 ; m. Rebecca McLean. [ 5. ii. John, b. 1731 ; m. Margaret Mayes. in.

John Mureay,^ (John,i) b. about 1691, in Scotland; emigrated to the Province of Pennsylvania in 1732 in company with his brother and other friends. On the 10th 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 Eeed, an early settler and prominent in frontier times, held an 30 466 Pennsylvania Genealogies. adjoining tract on the north by improvement. On the first of March, 1744, John Murray obtained another warrant, which 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 Lebanon county, the former, the homestead, being within the present bounds of Dauphin county a short distance from Dixon"s Ford on the Swatara. The date of death or name of John Murray's wife we have been unable to gather. Of their children, however, we have the following : i. William, b. 171-1 ; m. and had issue, amoncj others : ' 1. John, b. 1737 ; known as " Presbyterian John " to distinguisli him from his cousin, John Murray, son of Robert, (see VI. J In early life he went to New York and entered the store of his uncle, Robert Murray, with whom he became asso- ciated in 1771, in business under the firm name of Robert & John Murray; subsequently, he withdrew from the co-partnership and with his sons formed that of John Murray & Sons; in hischurch relations, he was a Presbyterian, and for many years an elder in Rev. Dr. John Rod- gers' church ; in politics, a Federalist, enjoy- ing the intimate acquaintance of such men as Rufus King and Alexander Hamilton. He was greatly esteemed in the mercantile community, and presided over the New York Ciiamber of Commerce from 1798 to 1806 ; d. at his country seat, on Murray Hill, October 17, 1808 ; his chil- dren were John-R., Hamilton, Hannah, and Mary, a.

John Dixon, (see Dixon of Dixon'' s Ford.) IV. James Murray.^ (William,^ John,i) b. about 1729, in Scotland; d. March 15, 1804, in Upper Paxtang township, Dauphin county, Pa. In 1768, he entered an application for the tract of land on which he resided, located in Upper Paxtang township, and it was surveyed to him. In 1775, he was chosen a member of the Committee of Safety for his township, and on Murray of Swatara. 467 the 8th of November, of that year, took his place in the general committee for Lancaster countj. On the 4th of July, 1776, at a military convention representing the fifty-three battalions ■of the Associators, he was present as one of the captains for that county. A roll of his company is printed in Dr. Egle's His- tory of Dauphin County. With John Eodgers and John Harris, on the 8th of July, 1776, by appointment of the Provincial Conference, he superintended the election held at Garber's Mill for the sixth district of Lancaster county, to make a choice of delegates to the convention that assembled on the 15th of the month, and which framed the fii'st constitution of the State. During that and the following year he was in almost constant active military service with his company. He commanded one of the companies of the Tenth battalion, Lancaster county militia, and was with the expedition up the West Branch in 1779. The exposures to which Capt. Murray was subjected during the Eevolutionary struggle, brought on an attack of rheumatism, from which for many years prior to his death he was a constant sufferer. He m.

He was a member of the House of Representatives from 1807 to 1810, and served as a mem- ber of Congress, 1817 to 1821. He married Margaret Murray, a daughter of Col. John Murray, (see V.J V. JoHK MuERAY,3 (William, ^ John,^) b. about 1731, in Scotland ; d. February 3, 1798, in Dauphin county, Pa. In 1766, he took up a tract of land lying on the Susquehanna, immediately above his brother James' farm, which adjoined the present town of Dauphin. He commanded a rifle company, which in March, 1776, was attached to Col. Samuel Miles' bat- talion, and participated in the battles of Long Island, White Plains, Trenton, and Princeton. He was promoted to major April 18, 1777, and lieutenant-colonel of the Second Pennsyl- 468 Pennsylvania Genealogies. vania regiment in 1780, serving until the disbanding of the army in 1783. He then returned to his family and farm. Governor Mifflin appointed him a justice of the peace August 29, 1791, the only political office he ever held. He was an ardent Whig of the Revolution, and a brave officer. Col. Mur- ray, m. December 29, 1762, by Rev. John Elder, Margaret Mayes, b. 1783, in the north of Ireland ; d.

Findlay, one of the associate judges of the county of Daupliin, August 10, 1818, resigning how- ever, October 23, 1827, having been elected to the National House of Representatives ; he served during the twentieth and twenty-first Congresses; Gov. Wolf, re-appointed him, January 26, 1832, associate judge, a position he held at the time of his death. VI. Robert Murray,-'' (John,^ John,i) b. about 1721, in Scotland : d. July 22, 1786, in the city of New York. He came to America with his parents, and remained on the Swatara, until about the year 1750, when he removed to North Carolina when the immigration thither was in full tide. Two or three years sufficed, however, when he turned his face northward and settled in the city of New York, where he entered into mer- cantile pursuits ; subsequently purchasing the tract of land known as " Murray Hill," now in the heart of the metro- polis. This became historical as the spot, where Mrs. Murray Murray of Swuiara. 469 during the Revolution, entertained Lord Howe and his officers long enough to enable the American troops under Putnam to escape. Although brought up in the Westminster Confession, and members oi Old Derry church, whatever may have been the cause we know not, Robert Murray and his wife joined the Society of Friends in New York, and it was therefore in the tenets of this persuasion that his large family of children were instructed. Of his parents, the son, in his autobiography, thus writes : " My parents were of respectable characters, and in the middle station of life. My father possessed a good flour mill at Swatara, but being of an enterprising spirit and anxious to provide handsomely for his family, he made several voyages to the West Indies, in the way of trade, by which he considerably augmented his jDroperty. Pursuing his inclinations, he, in time, acquired large possessions, and became one of the most re- spectable merchants in America. * * ^ * * * ]\|j mother was a woman of an amiable disposition, and remarkable for mildness, humanity, and liberality of sentiment. She was, indeed, a faithful and affectionate wife, a tender mother, and a kind mistress." Robert Murray, m. in 1744, Mary Lindley, daughter of Thomas Lindley. They had issue, twelve children, of whom we have the names of only four: 8. i. Lindley, b. 1745; tn. Hannah . 9. ii. John ; m. Catharine Bowne. 10. m. Beulah; m. Martin Hoffman. if. Susan; d. 1808; m, Gilbert Golden Willett. YII Margaret Murray, ^ (James, =^ William, ^ John,i) b. 1756, in Paxtang township, Lancaster county, Pa.; d. April 27, 1826, at Huntingdon, Pa.; m. May 7, 1776, by Rev. John El- der, John Simpson, b. about 1744, in Newtown or Bucking- ham township, Bucks county. Pa.; d. February 8, 1807, in Huntingdon, Pa. His parents went south and were residing in North Carolina in 1783 and in Georgia in 1791. He learned blacksmi thing, and, in 1763, settled on the Susquehanna, in what was then Upper Paxtang township, Lancaster, now Dau- phin county. On the 15th of August, 1775, he was commis- sioned second lieutenant of Capt. James Murray's company in the Fourth Battalion of Associators, of Lancaster county. On 470 Fennsylvania Genealogies. the 28th of January, 1777, Lieutenant-Colonel Cornelius Cox, of the battalion, ordered him to remain in the "Continental smith-shop " at Bristol. He served during the greater part of the Revolution, towards its close in command of a company of militia, when he returned to his farm. In the spring of 1793 he removed to Huntingdon, where he passed the re- mainder of his days. They had issue, save the last two, all born in Paxtang (surname Simpson) : 11. i. Rebecca, b. April 8, 1777; m. John Patton. ii. Margaret, b. Jannaiy 30, 1779; d. March 3, 1829 ; unm. in. James, b. June 20, 1781 ; d.

LlNDLEY MuREAY,^ (Robert, ^ John, 2 John,^) b. in 1745 on the banks of the Swatara, in Lancaster, now Dauphin county, Pa.; d. February 16, 1826, at his residence near York, England. He received a good education, but, having a dislike to mercantile pursuits, studied law and was admitted to the bar at the age of twenty-one. The year after he married. His limited practice was temporarily interrupted by a visit to Eng- land, whither his father had preceded him in hope of benefit- ing his health. He returned to New York in 1771, and re- newed the practice of law with marked success; tiring of it, however, when the Revolution broke out and New York was occupied by the British army, or, having no sympathy with the cause of Independence, he removed to Islip, on Long Island, and entered a mercantile life. We have always given Lkid- Murray of Swatara. 471 ley Murray credit for his religions principles as having pre- cluded him from taking part in the struggle between the Col- onies and the mother country, but in a letter in our possession, written by William Darbv to his friend, Mrs. Anna Dixon, the true incentive is, perhaps, given. Mr. Darby was well acquainted with the men of his time — he was intimate with the patriots of the Eevolution, and learned much of the inward history of the people, concerning whom, it is to be regretted, he did not give his reminiscences. William' Darby was born in the same neighborhood, and was intimate with the Dixons and Roans, to the former of whom Murray was related, and through them learned more of him than biographers choose to tell. In the success and greatness of a man, we too often lose sight of the grave errors into which he may have fallen. But we are loath to dispel the bright halo which glimmers around the life of the celebrated grammarian. Sabine classes him among the Loj^alists 'of the Revolution, and Darby, in con- trasting him with his cousin, Robert Dixon, whose blood was the first Pennsylvania offering to the cause of Independence, speaks of Murray's taking sides with the enemies of his country. This we can easily understand. Surrounded by his religious friends whose peace principles would not allow them to take up arms — although many hundreds did, who were subsequenly ^disowned for it — and in a city occupied by the king's troops, he himself says he had little faith in the successful resistance of the Colonies. It was thus he became a loyalist. His father's business and his own thrived, and the rule of England was sufficient, for him. We venture the opinion that there were really few instances where religious principles made men Tories. Mercenary motives were generally at the bottom of it. It is to be regretted that Lindley Murray's silent influ- ence should have been on the side of British oppression and tyranny. At the close of the war he had amassed a fortune, and, when peace had dawned, he sailed away from the land of his nativity and the home of liberty. His attachment to the home of his fathers, he said, "was founded on many pleasing associations. In particular, I had strong prepossessions in favor of a residence in England, because I was ever partial to 472 Pennsylvania Genealogies. its political cons*"itutioii and the mildness and wisdom of its general laws. * * * On leaving my native country, there was not, therefore, any land in which I could cast my eyes with so much pleasure, nor is there any which could have af- forded me so much real satisfaction as I have found in Great Britain. May its political fabric, which has stood the test of ages, and long attracted the admiration of the world, be sup- ported and perpetuated by Divine Providence." In 1784, he went to England, and, after visiting several localities, purchased a small estate at Holdgate, about a mile from York, upon which he resided until his death. Living in ease and retire- ment, he entered upon a literary life which proved a successful one, and has inscribed his name high up on Fame's portals. In 1787, he published a small work entitled " The Power of Psligion on the Mind," which passed through seventeen edit- ions. His next work, and that by which he is principally known, was his "English Grrammer," first published in 1795, and such was the unexpected demand for it that several edi- tions were published during the same year. Following this, appeared "English Exercises" and a "Key," an abridgement of which treatises were published in one volume in 1797. His other writings are "The English Reader," with an "Introduc- tion and Sequel," "The English Spelling Book," a new edition of his Grammar, "Exercises and Key" in two octavo volumes, a selection from Home's "Commentary on the Psalms," and " The Dutv and Benefit of Reading the Scriptures." Lind ley Murray's educational publications were not alone confined to his mother tongue. He prepared two French works, " In- troduction au Lecteur Fran93is"and "LecteurFranQois," which soon came into general use, were highly commended, and passed through a large number of editions. His life in Eng- land was a busy one, as it was an eventful one. No American who made a European tour failed to visit Holdgate. His per- sonal appearance, his unassuming demeanor and his conversa- tional powers excited in the minds of all visitors great admir- ation. Lindiey Murray m.

John Simpson Africa, 6 (Elizabeth-Isabella, 5 [Simp- son,] Margaret,"^ James, ^ William. ^ John,^) b. September 15, 1832, in Huntingdon, Pa., where he resides. He was educated in the public schools and Huntingdon Academy. After leav- ing school he learned the practice of surveying and civil en- gineering with his father and uncle, James Simpson. His first work after completing his studies was with Samuel W. Mifflin, chief engineer in the locating of the Huntingdon and Broad Top railroad. In 1853, he was elected county surveyor. During the sessions of 1858 and 1859, he was one of the clerks of the State Senate, and in 1859 elected to the Lugislature. In 1854 and 1855, he served as burgess of the borough, and in 1871, elected to the same office for three years. Under the Constitu- tion of 1873, the department of Internal Affairs was organized, and Mr. Africa was appointed deputy secretary under General Murray of Swatara. 477 William McCandless. "His knowledge and experience pecu- liarly qualified him for putting the new department into suc- cessful operation. The entire labor and responsibility of doing so devolved upon him, and it is well known to the people of the State how faithfully the duty was performed, and how creditably and honorably he acquitted himself in the important trust." In 1878, he was nominated ,by the Democratic State Convention for the head of that department, and although his vote was highly flattering, he failed of an election. Four years afterwards, in 1882, however, he was again nominated for the same position, and was elected for the term of four years. In 1880, President Hayes appointed him supervisor of the census for the Seventh district of Pennsylvania, comprising fourteen counties in the central part of the State. He was elected cashier of the First National Bank of Huntingdon in 1881, and served until he was sworn in as Secretary of Internal Af- fairs in 1883. In addition to these public and official duties, he has been identified with the leading business enterprises of his native town. Mr. Africa m. January 1, 1856, Doeothea C.

July 26, 1731, on the head waters of Occoquan river, Virginia. His father's residence is laid down on Gov. Pownall's, and Fry and Jefferson's maps, also on map in Spark's "Life and Writings of Washington." On the map in " Jefferson's Notes on Virginia," edition of 1787, it is laid down near the head of Bull Run, a branch of the Occoquan. He was an early acquaintance of Washington, and served with him in Braddock's expedition. He subsequently settled near Winchester, Frederick county, where he held the office of sheriff. He was in Dunmore's ex- pedition of 1774. Prior to this, he had made large entries and purchases of land on Chartier's creek, and built a house, now owned and occupied by Mrs. Mary Wrenshall, and was about to remove there when the Revolutionary troubles began. He was elected a delegate from Augusta county to the Provincial Convention of Virginia, which appointed George Washington, Peyton Randolph, and others to the first Continental Congress, but was prevented by sickness from attending. On the 7th of August, 1775, the Provincial Convention of Virginia ordered him to march with his company and take possession of Fort Pitt. December 23, 1776, he was appointed a justice of Yoho- gania county court, but considering the distracted state of the country, occasioned by the boundary dispute, and his position as commandant at Fort Pitt, he prudently declined the appoint- ment. He was colonel of the 4th Virginia regiment in the Revolutionary war. Subsequent to the Revolution, he was a member of the Board of Property, and of the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania, and of the Pennsylvania Convention which ratified the Federal Constitution ; he was also a member Neville and Craig, 479 of the Convention which formed the Constitution of Pennsyl- vania, in 1789-90. In 1791, at the urgent solicitation of the President and the Secretary of the Treasury, he accepted the appointment of Inspector of the Revenue in the Fourth Survey of the District of Pennsylvania, which he held until after the suppression of the Whiskey Insurrection and establishment of the supremacy of the law^s of the United States. He was appointed agent, at Pittsburgh, for the sale of lands, under the act of Congress, passed May 18, 1796, entitled "an act for the sale of the lands of the United States in the Territory north- west of the Ohio, &c." lie died on Montour's Island, now ISTe- ville township, Allegheny count}^, Pa.., July 29, 1803, and was buried in the First Presbyterian church-yard, Pittsburgh. The inscription on his tombstone, now almost illegible, is as follows: In memory of \ General John Neville, | who departed this life I July 29, 1803; | Aged 12 years and 3 days. \ During his long life \ he filled many important offices^ | hoth \ Civil and Military ; \ in the former^ he ivas virtuous and disinterested ; | in the latter, he was patriotic a7id brave. | He enjoyed] the friendship and confidence of the \ illustrious Washington. \ The day of his death witnessed the \ most pleasing Tribute \ that can be paid to the I memory \ of a mortal, \ Tlie sincere regrets of his \ friends \ and the | tears \ of the neighboring poor. Gen. Neville was a consistent member of the Protestant Episcopal church ; and the first Episcopal church west of the Allegheny mountains was built at his expense, on the site of the present stone church at Woodville, Allegheny county, Pa. He m. August 24, 1754, Winifred Oldham, \b. 1736, in Virginia; d. 1797, in Pittsburgh, Pa. She was descended from John Oldham, who emigrated to Virginia from England, in March, 1635.

Presley Neville,^ (John, 2 fii^i^,i) b. September 6, 1755, at Winchester, Ya.; d. December 1, 1818, at his resi- dence near Neville, Clermont county, Ohio, thirty miles above Cincinnati. After gi-aduating 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- eral John Neville. He quickly rose to the rank of major, and, as such, became aid-de-camp to the Marquis de la Fayette. Similarity of feeling and manners created an ardent friend- sliip 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, General John Neville, was ordered to Charleston, S. G, 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, Brandywine, Germantown, 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 1816. Presley Neville was always honored with the friendship of General Washington, and held many of the most confidential ofiices under the general and State gov- ernments." An obituar}^ notice of him by Mr. Ormsby in the Neville, and Craig. 481 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 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 faalt : it was too lavish for prudential max- ims to mingle in its council, and too honorable to doubt the rectitude of its ardent impulses. Like 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. * -^ * jjg 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 Louis Phillipe, connected with the Nevilles, so creditable to him, that they are here introduced : "About the year 1796, the Duke of Orleans, afterwards Louis Phillipe, King of France, accompanied by his two brothers, Montpen- sier and Beaujolais, came to the western country. On arriving at Pittsburgh, then a small village, the}' found one or two em- igres, 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 alwa3^s 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 heartv welcome, to introduce the travelers. The general at first re- 31 482 Pennsylvania Genealogies. ceived the proposition with coldness. He said he had been a soldier of the Eevolution, the intimate of Rochambeau and La Fayette, and, of course, entertained a feeling of the deepest re- spect for the memory of the unfortunate Louis, not as a mon- 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 Egalite. But, "mon General," (said the chevalier, with a shrug of the shoulders, and most melan- choly contortion of his wrinkled features,) " ils sont dans les grande mis^re, et 'ils out ete chasse, comme nous autres, par ces vilains sans culottes." The chevalier knew his man, and the hon hommie. of the General prevailed. " Eh, bien ! cheva- lier, allez, rendre nos devoirs aux voyageurs, et qu'ils dinent chez nous demain." The strangers accepted the 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 his 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, readied the West, the family of General jSTeville expressed the sin- cerest sorrow." Many years later, the Cincinnati Rej^uhlican 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 Philippe, 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. Louis Philippe had remembered this little kindness amid the varied and embarrassing scenes of his life, and gave it in charge of his son, when coming to this country, to find out Morgan Neville and renew the 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; Neville and Craig. 483 Louis Philippe 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 Breckenridge in his Recollections of Persons and Places of the 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 numer- ous and beautiful as the children of Niobe."'

He emigrated to America in 1765, and settled in Philadelphia, wdiere 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 ill the forts in Ehode 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 Neville and Craig. 485 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- mand of Colonel Thomas Proctor, in whicli he continued to serve until it was disbanded at the close of the Revolution. On the 11th of September, 1777, he was engaged in the battle of Brandywine, 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 Yalley 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 Captain 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 18th of October following. The severe winter of 1779-80 he was with the army at Morristown, New Jersey. On the 20th of April, 1780, Captain Craig was ordered to Fort Pitt with a de- tachment of artillery and military stores, where he arrived on the 2oth of June. Here he continued in command of the ar- tillery until the 29th of July, 1781, when he left with his de- tachment for the Falls of the 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 prom.oted 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 abont to establish one either at Cuyahoga or Grand river. He, therefore, ordered Major Craig to take with him the General's aid, Lieutenant Pose, 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 486 Pennsylvania Genealogies. 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 ISTovember, taking with them 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 V 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, Neville and Craig. 487 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 Captain Uriah Springer and other officers, and some soldiers from Fort Pitt. Here, of course, they were 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 Colonel Stephen Bayard formed a partnership to carry on the mercantile busi- ness in Pittsburgh, and to deal in lands. On the 22d 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 Colonel Presley Neville. He remained there but a short time. When the National Government was organized, his old commander ai-d true friend. General Henry Knox, was ap- pointed the first Secretary of War, and in February, 1791, offered 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 from Captain Coren at Carlisle was found valuable in preparing munitions of war for the north-western army. After this war, he removed to Montour's Island, where he died. Major Isaac 488 Pennsylvania Oenealogies.

May 5, 1703 ; emigrated from the Palatinate, Germany, to Lebanon township, Lancaster, now Lebanon county, Pa., about the year 1730. On the right bank of the Danube, about fifteen miles east of Vienna, is the village of Orth, containing about three thousand inhabitants. In the year 1170, Hartneid von Orthe purchased the village and estate surrounding it, founded a church, and erected a castle. It remained in the family for several successive gen- erations, when the proprietor, about the close of the seventeenth century, sold out and removed to Moravia, one of the northern provinces of Austria. The family cannot be traced from Mo- ravia to the Rhine. Balzer Orth had warranted to him, on the 25th of November, 1735, three hundred acres of land in Leb- anon township, "whereon he has been long settled." He d.

He came with his parents to America in 1730, and was brought uyj amid the dangers and struggles of Pennsylvania pioneer life. He received the limited education of the "back settlements," and yet, by self-culture and reading, became a man well informed and of more than ordinary intelligence. During the French and Indian war, he 494: Pennsylvania Oenealogies. commanded the Lebanon township company in Eev. John Elder's ranging battalion. In 1769, he was one of the commis- sioners of the county of Lancaster. During the Eevolution, he was early identified with the movement, and, although well ad- vanced in years, assisted in the organization of the associated battalions, and was appointed sub-lieutenant of the county- March 12, 1777. Upon the formation of the county of Dau- jjhin, he served as a representative in the General Assembly in 1789 and 1790. He was opposed to the adoption of the Federal Constitution, and took an active part in the Harrisburg Conference of 1788. For a long period he operated and owned New Market forge, which, at his death, he bequeathed to his son, Henry. One of the pioneers in the manufacture of iron in Lebanon county, a man of energy and indomitable persever- ance, we are glad to preserve this record of him and his ser- vices. Col. Orth m.

January 22, 1836, in Lebanon, Pa. ; with his wife buried in the Reformed church grave-yard ; son of Philip and Anna Barbara Gloninger. His ancestors were among the earliest settlers in that locality. His father, born in 1719, died December 11, 1796 ; his mother, born March 12, 1831, died September 23, 1810, and are both buried in the old Reformed church cemetery at Lebanon. John Gloninger received most of his instruction from the pastor of the Reformed church, who was also teacher of the school. When the Revolution broke out he served as a subaltern officer in the Associators. Towards the close of the war he was in command of the battalion of militia. Upon the organization of the county of Dauphin he was appointed by the Supreme Executive Council, county lieutenant, May 6, 1785. He was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention of 1790, a representative to the General Assembly, 496 Pennsylvania Genealogies. in 1790, resigning to accept the position of State senator, which office he also in time resigned, preferring the quiet of home-life to the vexations of legislative experience. He was appointed \>j Governor Mifilin — a warm, personal friend — one of the as- sociate judges of the county of Dauphin, August 17, 1791. This position, owing to the distance and the inconvenience of travel, he afterward's resigned. However, upon the erection of the new county of Lebanon, in 1813, he was commissioned one of the associate judges, an office he filled many years. Few men had more extended influence, and were more highly re- spected and beloved, than Judge Gloninger. They had ipsue (surname Gloninger) : i. Philip, b. February 17, 1788, in Lebanon, Pa. ; d. there September 10, 1816. Having acquired the necessary pre- paratory education in the schools of his native town, he entered Dickinson College, where he early completed his literary course. Subsequently he studied divinity under the Eev. C. L. Becker, D. D., of Baltimore, one of the most distinguished theologians and pulpit orators of the age. At a meeting of the Reformed Synod, held at Ger mantown, in the autumn of 1808, Mr. Gloninger was pres- ent, and presented a call from the Reformed church at Harrisburg, with the request that he be " placed over them as their pastor." At the same Synod lie was or- dained. Beside the congregation at Harrisburg there were four others in his charge — Shoop's, Wenrick's, Mid- dletown,and Ilummelstown. Hesoon became prominent in his church, and was appointed by Synod one of the first two delegates sent by that body to the Synod of the Dutch Reformed church. Owing to " bodily inflrmitie.=," he resigned his charge in June, 1814. He returned to Lebanon, where he died. He was a man of sujierior pulpit talents, naturally gifted, and reared under cir- cumstances highly favorable to the development of his moral and intellectual endowments, became distinguislied as a preacher, and early attained a prominent position among his ministerial brethren. He was a faithful pas- tor, and our paternal grandmother, who was one of his parishioners, in her four score years, spoke veiy tenderly of the youthful preacher, Gloninger, so dearly beloved and highly esteemed.

In 1817, he was elected a member of the Philadelphia Medical Society. He continued his studies in Philadelphia until the death of Professor Hor- sey, which occurred in 1818, when he went with the majority of Doctor Dorsey's private pupils to New York. Here he en- tered the office of the distinguished Professor Hosack, at the same time attending lectures in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, where he graduated April 1, 1819. He continued his studies in the hospitals of New York and Philadelphia, and early in 1820, returned to Lebanon, where he commenced the practice of medicine. There he soon took a leading posi- tion as a physician and surgeon, and maintained it for thirty years.

For the first twenty years of his professional career he was a frequent con- tributor to the medical journals. Many of the articles show that he was not only a careful observer but a close student, and that he was keeping pace with the progress of medical science. In 1828, he was elected a member of the Pittsburgh Medical Society ; in 1826, made a Fellow of the University of New York, and Jefferson Medical College, the same year, con- ferred upon him the honorar}^ degree of M. D. In 1838, he was elected an honorary member of the New York State Med- ical Society, and in 1841, the University of Maryland con- ferred the honorary degree of M. D. upon him, the University of Pennsylvania doing the same in 1848. In March, 1841, he was elected president of the Lebanon Bank, a position which he held until January 14, 1867, when he declined a reelection. He always took a deep interest in the church of his fathers, and was mainly instrumental in remodeling the First Eeformed Church, at Lebanon, about 1844, and later in the founding and building of St. John's Church. He freely contributed of his means to all church enterprises, and for many years was a trustee of Marshall College, and also one of the founders and trustees of the Lebanon Academy.

Doctor Orth continued his professional life, enjoying not only a large practice, but the confidence and love of his numerous patients. As a physician, he was learned, skillful, self-sacrificing, sympa- thetic, and faithful. In the community he was greatl};- be-, loved for his unassuming, gentle, and gentlemanly demeanor. In the language of a contemporary, "he was a man of fine culture, a careful, attentive, and conscientious physician, quiet and unobtrusive in manner.''

April 22, 1817, in Lebanon township, Lebanon county, Pa.; baptised June 1, 1817, by Rev. Abram Reinke, of the Moravian church ; d. December 16, 1882, in La Fayette, Ind. He-was educated at Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg; studied law, and upon his admission to the bar in 1839, re- moved to La Fayette, Ind. From 1843 to 1850, continuously, he served as a member of the State Senate of Indiana ; elected president of that body in 1845, and thus became acting Lieu- tenant Governor of the State. He was Presidential elector on the Taylor and Fillmore ticket, 1848, and a member of the Peace Conference in 1861. In 1862, he entered the service as captain in the Seventy-sixth regiment, Indiana volunteers, being placed in charge of the United States ram "Horner," and assigned to duty on the Ohio river. He was elected to the Thirt}' -eighth, Thirty-ninth, Fortieth and Forty-first Congresses from his dis- trict, and to the Forty-third Congress from the State at large. Upon the adjournment of the latter Congress, he was appointed and accepted the position of United States Minister to Vienna, having previously declined the mission to Brazil, tendered him by President Grant, filling the duties of that position with re- markable ability. It is stated that, upon his first presentation to the Emperor, the conversation, agreeably to Mr. Orth, was conducted in German. After a short conversation, the Em- peror asked, " Tell me, in what part of Germany were you born? " Mr. Orth replied, " Not in Germany, but in Pennsyl- vania, in the United States." "But," said the Emperor, "you speak the pleasing accent of the Rhine." This shows that the so-called Pennsylvania German is a dialect of the great German language of Europe, from whence it was brought, and where, to this dav, it is living in all its freshness and vigor as it did centuries ago. On his return from Vienna, Mr. Orth was elected to the Forty-sixth Congress, and in 1879, received the complimentary vote of his party for United States Senator against Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees, and was reelected to the Forty-seventh Congress as a Republican. In August, 1882, he Orth of Lebanon. ' 511 was unanimonsly nominated by his party for Representative in the Forty-eighth Congress. He was a man of warm ar.d sincere friendships, a sturdy honor, and a clear and vigorous intellect. Few men had a wider and more steadfast acquain- tance and friendships, none more honest in his duties to man and to his country. He was devotedly and tenderly attached to his family and fireside, caring more for those than the honors of success and the applause of the world. He left a name honorable to his memory, dear to his family, and a part of the history of his State and Nation. Upon the death of Matthew Carpenter, he used language in his eulogy fitly applicable to his own life, career and character : " Strong in the conviction of a well-matured and equally well-balanced mind, he stood firm in the conscious rectitude of his position, and hence he was a safe legislator, a wise counsellor, and a true friend. He stood erect as God created him, and dared to do right for the sake of the right." Mr. Orth was twice married; m., first, in 1840, Sakah Elizabeth Miller, of Gettysburg, Pa., who d. in 1849.

August 23, 1872, at Lebanon, Pa. His preliminary studies were pursued at the Lebanon Academy, after which he entered Marshall College, then at Mercersburg, graduating in 1843. He began the study of medicine with his father ; attended lec- tures at the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1846. The two following years were spent in the medical universi- ties and hospitals of Europe, his accu.rate and familiar ac- quaintance with the French and German languages greatly fa- 512 • Pennsylvania Oeneahgies. cilitating his studies in the scientific centres of the Old World. Keturning home, he commenced the practice of medicine, and shortly acquired a marked reputation for ability and skill in every department of his profession. Like his father, he de- voted much of his attention to diseases of the eye, and, in the course of twenty-six 3'ears, attained a high rank in this im- portant specialty. He was strictly scientific and regular, faith- ful to his patients, and honorable to his professional brethren. Aside from the science of medicine, Doctor Gloninger's literary studies were extensive. He was especially well informed in all that relates to the collateral sciences, and his knowledge of sacred and profane history, strengthened by travel and obser- vation, made him an agreeable and entertaining companion. His contributions to various journals and periodicals, showed a highly-cultivated mind. As a public man he was greatly es- teemed; was twice nominated by the Democratic party, of which he was an adherent, a candidate for Congress, in 1866 and in 1870, but defeated, owing to the strength of the opposition in his district. In the industrial enterprises of his native town he took a warm interest. He was one of the founders of the Lebanon Manufacturing company, of which he was president ; he was president of the Lebanon National Bank, and in his church, St. John's Reformed, was an active and zealous mem- ber. His private charities were numerous, and he gave a will- ing support to the various evangelical and christianizing enter prises of the day. The poor found in him a friend, and his professional life was a philanthropic mission. Doctor Cyrus D. Gloninger m., December, 1851, Julia A. Beaumont, b. at Wilkes-Barre, Pa., daughter of Hon.

Dr. Joseph Ross, was a native of Montgomery county. Pa., and married Mary Maria McOlintock, of Pottstown. After his marriage he removed to Hummelstown, Danphin county, where, on November 8, 1792, liis son, Robert May Ross, was born. Shortly after the birtli of Robert May, his mother died, when Dr. Joseph Ross removed to Blizabethtown. Ilis son, Robert, was sent to Montgomery county among his mother's relatives, where he was raised and educated. When grown to manhood he returned to Elizabethtown, and about the year 1815, married Barbara Redsecker, a daughter of George Red- seeker. They had six children, of whom George was the third, and the eldest son. His ancestors on his father's side were of Quaker origin, his mother's of Swiss descent, and were known as Pennsylvania Germans. His father engaged in mercantile pursuits, and at an early age, between school-hours, young George assisted him. At the age of ten he was sent to a select school at Reading, from thence to litiz, where he remained two years. In May, 1838, he commenced to learn the drug business at Lancaster, afterwards continuing in the same occu- pation at Harrisburg. When quite a small boy, he took great interest in the study of botany, a science which he pursued with great delight throughout life, and this fact becoming known to Col. John Roberts, a botanist of some reputation, a warm friendship sprang up between them, and young Ross was encouraged and assisted in his studies. At the same time he began the study of Latin at a select school in Harrisburg. At the close of his apprenticeship, he was offered special induce- ments by his uncle, Abraham Redsecker, who had purchased a drug-store in Elizabethtown, which he accepted, and returned to his native place in December, 1842. After several years he purchased the store from his uncle and engaged in business for himself. He shortly after began the study of medicine with Dr. Nathaniel Watson, of Donegal, and graduated from Jefll'erson 560 Pennsylvania Genealogies. Medical College, Philadelphia, in 1849. He immediately be- gan the practice of his profession in Elizabeth town, continuing at the same time the drug business, and soon acquired a large practice. In the spring of 1852 he purchased a property in Lebanon, to which place he removed in October following. He however quit the practice of medicine and devoted his en- tire time to the drug trade, and soon succeeded in building up a large and successful business. Dr. Ross took an active in- terest in the development of Lebanon, and was associated in various enterprises which tended to promote its prosperity. Having, in the year 1842, united with the Church of God, a body of Christians* organized under the labors of the E.ev. John AVinebrenner, he became conspicuous for his disinter- ested labors and great liberality. In 1857 the General Elder- ship elected him a member of the Board of Publication, and was reelected at each subsequent meeting; was a member of the committee which published the "Church Hymn Book," and subsequently elected general book agent, in which capacity he issued a number of books and pamphlets, conducting the publishing interests with such judgment and business tact that what was a cumbersome debt when he assumed its management soon became a source of revenue, a large fund having been accumulated during the almost twenty years of his manage- ment. In addition to these general church interests, he was, in 1868, elected treasurer of the East Pennsylvania Eldership, in which position he was continued eleven years, when increasing business cares demanding his attention obliged him to resign.

Rutherford of Paxtang. 561 RUTHERFORD OF PAXTANG. [In the year 1689, several brothers, of the Scotch family of Rutherford, joined the army of William III. when he invaded Ireland — were present and fought at the battle of the Boyne. Two of them were company officers, and the third was a Pres- byterian clergyman. They all remained on the island, one settling in the county Tyrone, another in the county Down, and the minister in the county Monaghan. Several of the sons of these men emigrated to America during the decade be- tween 1720 and 1730 ; among them was Thomas Rutherford, the progenitor of the family in Paxtang. As an instance of how family likeness is preserved through ages, it may be here stated that the portrait of David Rutherford, grandfather of Sir Walter Scott, which hangs in the dining- hall facing the Tweed at Abbottsford, would answer equally well as a por- trait of the late Dr. Rutherford, of Harrisburg, although the Doctor's ancestor left Scotland two centuries ago. No likeness of Thomas Rutherford is in existence, and the only description of him is a traditionary one, which represents him as a dark- haired, well-built man, about five feet ten inches in height, full of energy and of such business habits as led to financial suc- cess. There is a spice of romance connected with his early manhood which may not be uninteresting to the reader. His attachment to Jean Mordah, whom he afterwards married, was reciprocated. The Mordahs were about to sail for America, and Thomas, fearing he might lose his Jean, proposed and was accepted, but poor Jean was scarcely sixteen and her par- ents said "no," and took her with them across the sea. On the cover of his memorandum book, preserved in the family, Thomas inscribed the legend, ^■Enquire for DenyiygalV This was the location of the Mordahs in Pennsylvania, and, in tlie 36 562 Pennsylvania Genealogies. following year, 1729, he appeared in person at their door and claimed his Jean. Mr. Mordah, doubtless, still thought the pair too young, and, in order that more time might be gained, required his prospective son -in law to be the possessor of a certain sum of money, with which to begin the world, before he would entrust the young lady to his keeping. Thomas, like Jacob of old, was obliged to acquiesce, and took his departure for Philadelphia. When he returned, he was mounted on a good horse and had with him the documents which satisfied the old gentleman's requirements. They were married in 1730, and lived in Donegal until after the death of John Mor- dah, in 1744, when they removed to Derry, and, in 1755, to Paxtang, where they spent the remainder of their days. Their house, a two-story log, stood on the site of the present resi- dence of Silas B. Rutherford, at Paxtang station, and was burned down in 1840. The old house standing directly oppo- site the station was built after Thomas Rutherford's death, about 1783, and the old stone house over the spring was, prob- ably, built before Mr. Rutherford bought the property.] I.

This property, although divided into three tracts, is still owned by his descendants; and his mansion house, built before the Eevolution, is used as a dwelling by his great-grandchildren. When the troubles with England arose, which led to the struggle for independence, he was active in his opposition to British tyranny. He was a member and officer, throughout the war, of the ''Libert}^ As- sociation of Pennsylvania," and served as captain of a company in the campaigns of 1776 and 1777 in the Jerseys and in East- ern Pennsylvania.

He was a soldier in that san- guinary struggle for French supremacy in America, and held a lieu- tenant's commission in the English army. He was a part of the time in Canada, and with General Wolfe on the celebrated Plains of Abraham. For his services he received a grant from George III. of two thousand acres of land in Yirginia. He subsequently settled in Lancaster county. He early espoused the cause of the Colonies, and, receiving a commission as captain in the Second (Colonel St. Clair's) Pennsjdvania battalion, January 5, 1776, raised a company mostly in the upper part of then Lancaster county, now Dauphin and Lebanon, which was in active service in Canada. At the close of that arduous campaign, he was transferred to tlie Third regiment of the Penn'a Line, resigning in July, 1777. He subsequently returned to the ser- vice, and at the close of the war, to his farm near " Bird-in-Hand," Lancaster county, when he was appointed collector of military flues. He was, however, too kind-hearted to oppress the delinquents, conse- quently, he became responsible to the government for the amount, which resulted in Captain Brisban becoming poor and penniless. All the papers pertaining to his military services were sent to Washing- ton for the pui'pose of securing a pension, but, unfortunately, lost. Captain Brisban was married twice, and left issue by both. He died at the residence of his son-in-law, Samuel Rutherford, near Harris- burg, Pa., March 13, 1822, aged ninety-one years. He lies buried in Paxtang church grave-yard. '568 Pennsylvania Genealogies. IX. John" Rutherford,-'^ (Jolin,^ Thomas/) b. January 15, 1774, at Paxtang; d. May 1, 1832. He received a good education ; was a surveyor, and for a time in the employ of the Presqu' Isle Land Company, and, in 1817, was member of the Legislature from Dauphin county. After the death of his uncle, James Rutherford, in 1809, he purchased the moiety of his grandfather s farm, which had fallen to James upon the death of Thomas, in 1777, and now (1885) owned by John A. Ruther- ford. There he spent the remainder of his life. He m., first Jean Header, b. 1808 ; d. September, 1827. They had issue _ i. Levi, b. 1825, in Paxtang; d. February 8, 1851, at Harris- burg, Pa. After the death of his father, in 1832, he was taken by his uncle, William liutherford,in whose family • he remained until he attained his majority. He received a liberal education, and read medicine under Dr. W. W. Rutherford, of Harrisburg, graduating at the University of Pennsylvania in March, 1849. Heat once began the practice of medicine at New Cumberland, which promised bright, but, his health failing, he was compelled to re- linquish the duties of his profession. He returned home, and undertook the superintendence of the farm, hoping thereby to reestablish his health. This proved futile, for he gradually failed, and he d. at Harrisburg, on the 8th of February, 1851. Intelligent, amiable, and upright, Dr. Levi Rutherford's young life left a rose-tinted memory in many households. u. JacJcson-Gray, b. August 31, 1827; resides at Dry Run, Franklin county. Pa.; m.

In 1816 he was elected a director of the poor, and served as a member of the House of Representatives from 1819 to 1821, and again from 1829 to 1831. He was one of the most influential men of his day in the county of Dauphin, and a representative man thereof. Col.

In early manhood, Mr. Eutherford was elected captain of the Dauphin cavalry, hence his military title. He has been active in politics, and was elected member of the Legislature on the Whig ticket in 1848, and reelected in 1849. In 1857, he was elected to the State Senate for three years, on the Eepublican ticket. He has been treasurer of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society for a long time — elected ia 1864 and reelected annually ever since.

He was a farmer, and brought up in that pursuit. He held many places of public trust in his life ; was superintendent of the Wiconisco canal as early as 1837, an auditor of the county, a jury commissioner, and was vice- president and treasurer of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society. He was a strong anti-slavery advocate, as all his family were, and many aweary pilgrim, in the days of the fugitive slave act, sore of foot and heart, found in Capt. Rutherford hospitable assistance, material aid, and manly encouragement. He hated slavery because he considered it a moral sin and a political blight upon the free institutions of America. During the late Rebel- lion he served as quartermaster in the United States army, rank- ing fourth on the list. A¥hile stationed at Harper s Ferry he was captured in one of the raids on that sti^onghold, but released on parole. He was then ordered to Camp Douglas, and sub- sequently to Charleston, S. C. In the latter city, about the close of the war, he contracted a disease from the effects of which he never fully recovered. Capt, Rutherford, m. Eliza Rutherford, b. October 30, 1801 ; d.

November 23, 1805, in Paxtang, now Swatara township, Dauphin county, Penn'a ; d. March 13, 1873, at Harrisburg, Penn'a. He commenced the study of medicine with Dr. Whiteside, of Harrisburg, then a prominent physician, in 1830, and after the removal of Dr. Whiteside continued under the insti'uctions of Dr. Dean. He attended the lectures of Jefferson Medical College, 1830 to 1832, graduating from that institution on the 7th of March, the latter year. He located first at Mechanicsburg, where he remained nearly a year, when, entering into partnership with his preceptor. Dr. Dean, he re- moved to Harrisburg, where, for forty years, he practiced his profession, winning for himself an honorable name not only at home but abroad. Dr. Rutherford had what few physicians possessed, — a most perfect knowledge of diseases in general ; 574 Pennsylvania Genealogies. and it mattered little what the case, his diagnosis, when called in consultation,' was final as it was accurate. An extensive practice of over forty years in eyerj department of medicine and surgery gave him such a perfect knowledge of his pro- fession that the loss of his advice and assistance in difficult cases was severely felt by his surviving brethren. For eight years prior to his death he had been the regularly-appointed surgeon to the Pennsylvania Eailroad Company, although he served it some ten years previously when called upon. From the organization of the old Harrisburg Gas Company, he was one of its directors, and, at his death, president of the company. In numerous other enterprises he took an active part, and was always one of Harrisburg's public-spirited citizens. His life was an eventful one, and one fraught with many incidents of interest. In season and out of season, in life and in death, his good-natured face appeared upon the stage, gladly, even tear- fully, welcome. Dr. Rutherford married Eleanor Crain, dauo^hter of Col Richard M.

For several years lias been president of the First National Bank of Hummelstown ; been identified with other corporations, and active in various local enterprises of the day. In 1835 he was captain of the Tenth company. Ninety-eighth regiment Pennsylvania militia. For many years he has been one of the vice-presidents of the Penn- sylvania State Agricultural Society, in the founding of which he took a prominent part. His energy and ability, combined with his business habits, have produced that success which gen- erally follow.

Hiram Rutherford,^ (William, ^ John, 2 Thomas, i) was the eighth member of his father's family, and was born at the old Rutherford homestead, in Swatara township, Dauphin county, Pa., on the 27tb of December, 1815. • He was raised, as were all his brothers, to a thorough practical acquaintance with the labors of the farm, and received such education as the schools of Paxtang afforded. At the age of eighteen, he com- menced the study of medicine with his brother. Dr. W. W. 576 Pennsylvania Genealogies. Rutherford, of Harrisburg, and graduated from Jefferson Med- ical College, at Philadelphia, in the spring of 1838. With ten dollars in his pocket and a few drugs in his saddle-bags, he set out on horse-back to seek his fortune. He located at Millers- burg, on the Susquehanna, at that time a village of five hun- dred inhabitants. After a sojourn of two and a half years, the Doctor concluded that the road to fortune did not lie, for him, in Lyicens Valley, and, in the latter days of the year 1840, he again packed his saddle-bags, and, with three hundred dollars in his pocket, mounted his horse and set his face towards Illi- nois — the "_E'-fe-?7oy " of the emigrants of those days — "the home of the wild deer, the gopher and the prairie-wolf." At the end of an eighteen days' journey, he halted at a little ham- let in Coles county, now the flourishing town of Oakland, where he has ever since resided. The practice of medicine in the Western States is, even now, very laborious, but when Dr. Rutherford began, it was much more so ; the roads were mostly deer-paths, and the deep, sluggish streams flowed on to the sea unvexed by either bridges or ferries. His practice was large, extending over half a degree of latitude and longitude. But increasing years and failing strength warned him, at length, that it was time to retire from the active duties of a profession so exacting, and, for the last decade, he has devoted his time and energies principally to the management of his large agricultural interests. As a phj^sician, a business man and a trusted citi- zen, his life has been a success. The people of his" adopted county have shown their confidence in his integrity and busi- ness qualifications by repeatedly calling him to serve on the county board, (similar to that of county commissioner in Penn- sylvania,) and to various other public trusts in the town and township of Oakland ; likewise their appreciation of his intel- ligence by keeping him in the school board continuously since 1813. And, although he has almost filled out the measure of threescore years and ten, he is still marching in the front rank with the active men of Coles county. The Doctor has been twice married. He m., first, Lucinda Bowman, of Millers- 'burg. Pa., b. April 22, 1821; d. September 12, 1845. They had issue: Rutherford of Paxtang. 577 i. John, b.

JoHiSr Stewart, ^ a Sco.ttish covenanter of the seventeenth century, fled from Scotland to the county Down, in the north of Ireland. It is traditional that he had incurred penalties for non-compliance with royal edicts respecting religious worship and enforcing attendance at the Parish church. It was at the period when the government of Charles II, (1660-1685,) the most disreputable of the English kings, was engaged in its fruit- less attempts to force Episcopacy upon the Scottish nation. The north of Ireland had become a refuge for proscribed Pres- bj'terians and condemned covenanters, and thither he went, preferring to abandon his native hills rather than go back on the solemn league and covenant entered into by the Scottish people in 1643, who recognized as their only standard the Westminster confession of faith as ratified by the General As- sembly of the church of Scotland, in 1647. The persecution of the covenanters and harassment of the adherents to Presby- ferianism, which King Charles pronounced "a religion not fit for a gentleman," continued until the establishment of freedom of conscience by the revolution of 1688. John Stewart d. in 1720, and of his family, we have record of one son only : 2. i. Robert, b. 166o. II. Robert Stewart, ^ (John,^) b. near Glasgow, Scotland, A. D. 1665, in the reign of Charles II; d. 1730. Upon the death of his father, he also moved into Ireland, locating in Dru- more township, county Down, twelve miles from Belfast. The people of this county, as a whole, are of Scottish origin. The Ayrshire dialect was commonly spoken till towards the end of the eighteenth century. This county is remarkable for its in- equality of surface and number of hills, from which its name 580 Pennsylvania Genealogies. originated. The lives of father and son, John and Robert Stewart, therefore, embraced that most remarkable period in the history of England commencing in the reign of Charles I, through the Commonwealth under Cromwell, Charles II, James II, William and Mary, Queen Anne, George I and into the reign of George II. Robert Stewart had a large family, of whom we have record only of 3. i. ifamueZ, b. 1698 ; m. Mary McClay. 4. a. Hugh, b. June 11, 1719; m., first, Hannali Dallas; sec- ondly, Nancy Moore. III. Samuel Stewart, 3 (Robert,^ John, ^ ) b., in 1698, near Glasgow, Scotland ; d.., 1770, in Lancaster county, Pa. He emigrated to the north of Ireland with his father's family in 1720. In 1785, accompanied by his youngest brother, Hugh, he crossed the ocean, landing in Philadelphia, and settled in Drumore township, Lancaster county, Province of Pennsyl- vania, near Chestnut Level, a Scotch-Irish settlement, where had been established a Presbyterian meeting-house, ministered to by the Rev. Joim Thompson, of Donegal Presbytei-y. In person, Samuel Stewart was large and well proportioned, six feet in height, Roman nose, bluish-gray eyes, brown hair, and ruddy complexion. He m., in Ireland, Mary McClay, who was noted for her very dark complexion and large person. They had issue : i.

October 8, 1798; buried in the grave-yard of the old Covenanter church, three miles east of Harrisburg, Pa., of which church he was the main supporter. At the age of sixteen years, he accompanied his elder brother, Samuel, and family in their migration to the Province of Penn- sylvania, in 1735. He landed with a capital in coin equivalent to one dollar and twenty -live cents, and, having learned the trade of weaving, followed it for many years ; settled finally in Paxtang township, about six miles from Harris' Ferry, where he acquired a large estate, for the times. His name first ap- pears on the tax-list of 1750. In 1780 he was assessed for four hundred and five acres. He was considered a very hand- some man, of more than ordinary height, and retained through life his Scotch accent. Hugh Stewart was twice married ; m., first, in 1750-1, Hannah Dallas, b., 1727, in Ireland ; d. 1760, and buried with her husband. They had issue, all born in Paxtang: i. Jane, b.

Samuel Stewart, ^ (SamueV Robert, ^ John.^) b. in the coiinty Down, Ireland ; was brought to Pennsylvania in the emigration of his father's family, in 1735, and, on coming of age, settled as a farmer in Hanover township, Lancaster county, now West Hanover, Dauphin county, Pa. His warrant for one hundred acres of land was dated May 17, 1754, and, in an "as- sessment for the King's use, 1759, Samuel Stuart" is taxed five shillings. This township, established in 1737, and named in honor of the reigning family of Great Britain, almost exclu- sively settled by Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, was on the then frontier and contiguous to the Kittatinny mountains. From the date of his settlement therein, in 1754, until 1764, on account of its proximity to the wilderness, it was subject to Indian raids and depredations from which the inhabitants suffered fearfully in their persons and property, often being compelled to abandon their homes and fly for safety. This state of af- fairs continued until the massacre in Lancaster of the Cones- toga Indians, who were the aiders and abettors of these out- rages. A public meeting of the citizens of Hanover township, June 4, 1774, has gone into history, showing the earliest re- Family of Stewart. 583 corded movement towards independence, and, when the Kev- olutionary war began, the libert}^ loving and patriotic Scotch- Irish of Hanover were found faithful and active participants. Samuel Stewart entered as a private, serving in Col. Timothy Green's battalion for the defence of the frontier, and, in June 6, 1776, in Captain Janaes Eodgers' company of Lancaster County Associators, "destined for the camp in the Jerseys." On the erection and organization of the county of Dauphin, in 1785, we find him upon the first grand jury, composed of prominent citizens. Although a Presbyterian by birth and a supporter of the old Hanover church, founded m 1735, and situated eleven miles east of Harrisburg, the records show that on "November 2, 1788, Samuel Stewart and Nancy Stewart, his wife, were admitted to the Lord's table." Samuel Stewart d. September 16, 1803, and was buried in Hanover Church grave-yard. He was a lai-ge man, weighing two hundred and thirty pounds, six feet in height, eyes blue and complexion fair.

At what time Richard Swaist^ emigrated with his family to America we have no account, nor of all his children, save the names of six sons. Upon an examination of the records of the Land Department of the State, we have the following data, relating to early surveys in Lancaster countv: "Alexander Swan had surveyed to him on the 23d of January, 1743, one hundred and fifty acres in Hanover township, adjoining land of Andrew Lachin and others." * * * ''On the 25th of August, 1767, there was surveyed to Hugh Swan two hundred, and eighty-three acres of land, adjoining land of James Wal- lace, John Carson and the Blue Mountain, in Paxtang town- ship."' * * * "To Moses Swan there was surveyed, on. the 8th of November, 1774, one hundred and fifty acres, ad- joining "William McRoberts on the north, Andrew Carson on the east, John Jameson on the south and Alexander Johnson, on the west, in Paxtang township."

Theodorus Thomas,! a native of Switzerland, and a .refugee from the Palatinate, Germany, with his wife and a por- tion of his family, emigrated to America in 1736, landing at Philadelphia on the 16th of September that year from the "ship, 'Princess Augusta,' Samuel Merchant, master, from Eotterdam, last from Cowes." He settled in what is now Heidelberg town- ship, Lebanon county. Pa., then in Lancaster county, in the neighborhood of Scheafferstown.

He emigrated with his family to Amer- ica in the year 1749, landing at Philadelphia on the 30tli of August that year, his father having preceded him several years. The ship, "Crown," Michael James, master, in which they embarked, was heavily laden, having no less than five hundred souls on board on its arrival, out of over six hundred at leaving Rotterdam. The mortality on that crowded vessel was fearful, and it is hardly pro]3able that the family of Martin Thomas entirely escaped. He became quite prominent in the early history of Heidelberg towmship, where he settled; was lieutenant of a ranging company on the frontiers during the French and Indian wars, and overseer of roads.

He received a good English and classical educa- tion at Philadelphia; but at the death of his father remained upon the ancestral farm in Hanover, where he resided until the close of his active and busy life. In the War for Indepen- dence, he was a member of Captain William Brown's company, 622 Penrtsylvania Oenealogies. in active service during the vigorous campaigns in and around Philadelphia and in the Jerseys. In 1779 he commanded a company of rangers for frontier service, and at the close of the war was major of a battalion of associators. In the subsequent military organizations, as directed by the State and National Governments, he rose to be brigadier general of the militia, and is thus distinguished. He served as one of the commissioners of the county from 1799 to 1801 ; was elected to the House of Representatives of the State Assembly, serving from 1806 to 1810. He was chosen to the Fourteenth, Fifteenth, and Six- teenth Congresses of the United States, and was distinguished in that body, not so much for his eloquence in debate, but for his practical common sense and remarkable executive ability. Having served six years faithfully, to the regret of his constit- uents he declined a renomination, and retired to the quiet of farm life, where he spent the evening of his days.

Prior to the Revolution, he returned to Ireland on busi- ness connected with his father's estate, but the breaking out of the war delayed his return until near its close. Upon the laying out of the town of Harrisburg, in 1785, Mr. Gillmor erected a house and established himself in the mercantile busi- ness, which he successfully carried on a quarter of a century. He was quite prominent in local political affairs, and in the First Presbyterian church, of which he was one of the Wallace of Hanover. 623 founders, he was an elder thirty-four years.

From 1869, Colonel Audenreid had been sta- tioned at Washington City, being chief of the staff of the Lieutenant-General. During these years of relaxation from active military service, he became much interested in liistorical and genealogical research. Besides prepar- ing material for a biography of his fatlier, he had almost completed a genealogical record of his own and allied families. He had a high veneration for the last resting- places of his ancestry, and, several years prior to his- death, tlie time-defaced tomb-stones which marked the spot of his honored dead in old Paxtang Church grave- yard were, by his direction, chiseled anew and reset.

He learned coach-making, and, subse- quently, went into the hardware business, which he continued a number of years, afterwards connecting with it the drug trade, taking into partnership his nephew, D. W. Gross. During the administration of Governor Eitner, he served as a clerk in the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth. In 1840, he was elected prothonotary of Dauphin county, a position he filled two terms (six years.") While serving in this office, he was Wallace and Weir. 631 chosen a director of the Harrisburg Bank, and afterwards be- came teller in that institution, in which capacity he continued until 1880. While performing these duties, he was treasurer of the State Lunatic Hospital, at Harrisburg, from its first estab- lishment in 1850 to 1880. For nearly fifty years he was an elder in the First Presbyterian church of Harrisburg, and took a warm interest in the promotion of the Sunday-school system. He was one of the first, firmest, and influential friends of the anti-slavery cause in Dauphin county. Mr. Weir married twice ; first, Catharine E. Wiestling, b. February 21, 1810; d.

He received a good education, excelled as a scholar, and his taste for study and reading drew him towards the printing office. He learned the art with John S. Wiestling, and, after his apprenticeship, spent some time in the printing house of the Messrs. Johnson, of Philadelphia. On the 26th of November, 1833, having been chosen teller of the Harrisburg Bank, he ac- cepted that position, holding it until October 30, 1844, when he was chosen cashier of the bank. When the institution be- came a national bank in 1874, he was unanimously elected its cashier, which office he held until his death, a period of over forty-four years. As a bank officer and a financier, he gained 632 Pennsylvania Oenealogies. an enviable distinction for his uniform courtesy, for unimpeach- able integrity, and for ability of the highest order. Few bankers in the Commonwealth can present a record equal to his in years of serv^ice, in successful administration of affairs through financial trouble, and for such rigid honesty. But not alone as a banker was he distinguished. He was gifted with rare social qualities and a graceful wit, which made him one of the most companionable of men. In movements for the reformation of society, he was always foremost, not only giving his time and labor, but contributing freely of his means to the accomplish- ment of what he thought a philanthropic purpose. To the poor and lowly, he was always a kind and true friend, and his charities, though not ostentatious, were made with a free and open hand. His literary taste and ability were of high order, and he frequently wrote for the press ; was the author of several religious tracts, published by the American Sunday-school Union. In 18S8, appeared a small volume, " Manual of Prayer," which was published with an introduction by Rev. Albert Barnes, of Philadelphia. In 1854, "The Closet Companion" appeared, and passed through several editions. In the Presby- terian church, of which he was many years an elder, in every walk and pursuit in life, he was active, energetic, consistent, pure in character, and lofty in purpose. Mr. Weir m.

Their son, Robert McPherson, b. in 1730, came to be a man of promi- nence in the early history of the State, and, in connection with the brief sketch of his great grandson, Judge McPherson, tiie following reference to him will be appropriate : Robert McPherson was edu- cated at Rev.

June 4, 1760, at Oschatz, in the Canton or district of Meisischen, Germany,, during a visit of his mother to her parents. The home of his. parents was Colba, on the river Saale, in Lower Saxony. In- asmuch as the military law of Prussia required all Prussian of- ficers and citizens to liave the name of every child recorded in the church-book of the town wherein it was born, this was. done in bis case. The record was also made in the militar}^ canton-book or soldiers' I'oll of Oschatz. He was baptized shortly after, his sponsors being Samuel Ludwig Goldman, Christopher Henry Ahren, and Mrs. Catharine Elizabeth Wiest- ling, all residents of Colba. His parents were Christopher Martin Wiestling^ and Dorothea Elizabeth Goldman. His father, who hekl the office of secretary of Colba, and was widely known, died in 1769. The widow afterwards married Michael Horst, a justice of the peace, of Acken, on the river Elbe, in whom Samuel found a kind parent ; was sent to school, and carefully educated. Subsequently, being influenced and guided by the counsel of his preceptors, Herr Ruprechtand his brother- in-law, the Honorable Inspector Gehring, his step-father per- suaded him to study theology, and through the recommenda- tion of those mentioned, he was received ifito the Hallische Weisenhaus. But this life was irksome to him, and unsuited to the natural bent of his mind, and, becoming discontented, he returned to his home at Colba. In April, 1774, he was placed under the instruction of the State Surgeon and " Land Physician,'" Dr. linger, but the doctor having died on the 1st of May, 1776, he, with a good recommendation, went to Halle, and put himself under the care and tuition of Field-Surgeon Ollenroth, with whom he remained until 1778. This gentle- 64^ Pennsylvania Genealogies. man very kindly secured for him regular college privileges, under Professors Miikel, ISTestsky, Dr. Younghaus, and others. As war broke out about this time between the Emperor Joseph and King Frederick II. — the bone of contention being Bayern, and a part of the Prussian army being stationed in Alsace, under Prince Henry — he was recommended by his principal for the position of Lazar-Surgeon, and was accordingly examined and appointed on June 3, 1778. On July the 1st, the army marched to Dresden, and the field hospital was renioved t(j Thorgan. In the beginning of October, he was taken sick, in consecjuence of which he obtained leave to return home. On recovering his health, in November, he went to Halle and re- sumed his studies under the professors already named, until the year 1779, when he went to Dresden for the purpose of continuing his studies in anatomy in the then existing prepara- tory institute, under the care of the Elector's counselor, Pie- trochen. Here the branches of anatomy, physiology, physics, materia medica, chemistry, pathology, and therapeutics were as thoroughly taught by Dr. Hofi'rath and Professors Meiden and Thomrianie as they were in Halle. But botany was neglected, though chirurgery was also thoroughly taught by the general surgeon, Wilde. In the spring of 1780, he went to Berlin to prosecute, under the Berlin State Accouchour, Dr. Hagan, his studies in obstetrics, which he had already com- menced at Halle, under Catenius, Loesicke, Schmucker, and Thedus. He remained during the summer in a private college of medicine, chirurgery, and anatomy. In October of the same year he returned to Dresden, to visit the preparatory school of anatomy. In April of the following year he went to Amster- dam, to visit John Herman Osterdyke, who had been his inti- mate friend in Halle, and who was now a doctor of medicine in Amsterdam. This afforded him an opportunity to visit the Land and Sea Hospital located there, and also the Amsterdam College of Medicine and Surgery, of which Dr. Herman Ger- hard Osterdyke, the father of his friend, was the president. Through the kindness of the general surgeon of the hospital, the Hon. B. Hasson, he had free access to the Gast-Huys. His friend going to Halle to hold his " Inaugural Disputations," in Wiesth'ng Family. 645 order to the promoting, under the supervision of Dr. Leopold Osterdyke, and at his earnest persuasion he g-ladly accompanied him. He remained in Halle, until April, 1782, when he re- turned to Amsterdam, where he attended the Hospital and College of Medicine and Surgery until June of 1782, when he was appointed to a position as navy doctor and surgeon, he having passed a creditable examination before the Committee of the Honorable Board of Admirality. At this time an ex- pedition started out from the Netherlands to America, under the embassador fi^om Holland, with two ships laden with linen, a frigate, and a cutter. He was ordered to duty on this expe- dition as navy surgeon. He set sail on June 4, 1783, with a favoring wind. His record says, "We left Texel, and on Oc- tober 4, 1783, we reached the port of Chester on the Delaware, in Delaware county, and State of Pennsylvania. The voyage was not all smooth sailing, as we encountered high winds and rough seas. Indeed, on one occasion, one of the vessels came very near swamping and emptying us all out into the sea. However, with hard work, good management, and the inter- position of a kind Providence we kept above water and arrived safely on terra firmay As it was obligatory upon all students and artisans in Grermany, to travel and see the world before they could pursue the practice of their chosen profession or trade, our young doctor concluded to see something of the new world before returning. He accordingly left the vessel in com- pany with a friend named Godfrey Fritchey, and started on foot on a tour of observation. They traversed middle Penn- sylvania which was not then as now, " the garden spot of the world," but was sparsely settled, and the whole country deeply impressed with the desolation and devastation consequent upon the Revolutionary war. Visions of the " home beyond the sea," . however, beckoned them to return, and they turned their foot- steps towards Philadelphia with a view of finding a vessel to carry them home. At the Trappe, in Montgomery county, in Pennsylvania, they fell in with a gentleman by the name of Messemer or Minsker, who was proprietor of an inn at that place, who, learning that the subject of this sketch was a thorouglily-educated German physician, succeeded in persuading 64:6 Pennsylvania Genealogies. him to tarry with him, as he had a sick wife, who had been bedridden for a long time, and npon whom he had expended quite a sum of money to physicians, to little or no purpose. This was an episode in his life that shaped his destiny for the future. This man offered to pay him twenty dollars in hand, with his boarding for self and friend, and find the medicine. He regarded this a good and adv^antageous offer, under the peculiar circumstances, and accepted it. The case was a serious and ob- stinate one, and although it balTfled others, he was entirely suc- cessful, and this fortunate turn of affairs afterwards proved to be the foundation of a large and paying practice at the Trappe. About the year 1792 or 1793 he, with his family and that of his father-in-law, removed to Dauphin county, locating on farms along the Blue mountain, on the road leading from the Sus- quehanna river to Linglestown. His new home was about two miles from the river and five miles from the city of Harrisburg, in now Susquehanna township. Here he continued^ in pursuit of his profession until the spring of 1811, when they removed to the town of Harrisburg, where his practice greatly increased, until the year 1817, when he was stricken with paralysis, which terminated his medical career. He died April 28, 1823, in the sixty-third year of his age, thus ending a life of active useful- ness, respected by all who knew him. Dr. Wiestlingm., May 10, 1785, Anna Maria Bucher, b.

Pa., which included three congregations in his charge. Owing to some difficulty w^ith reference to the Manchester congregation, he stood disconnected from the Synod for some years. In 1821, application to that body was made in his behalf, and in the following year he was received. Several other con- gregations were added to his charge, and his field of labor consisted of five congregations, in which he continued to preach to the end of his life. He died at the age of thirty- three years, and is buried in the grave-yard connected with the Reformed church at that place.

He was conscientious and faithful in the discharge of all his public and private duties, and his piety and moral deportment were of an undoubted and unexception- able character. Respected and esteemed by tlie commu- nity generally, he was especially beloved by the people of his own charge, among whom he labored with much ac- ceptance. He m.

Kurtz ; d. January 15, 1854, at IJarrisburg, Pa. In the year 1811, being then of the age of fourteen years, he moved with his parents into the town of Harris- burg, where he continned to reside until his death. Although afforded but limited facilities of acquiring an education by at- tending the schools of that period, yet, having the advantage of the instructions of his father, who was a man of thorough education and culture, and being himself an indefatigable stu" dent, reading and studying whenever and however the oppor- tunity presented, he grew to manhood with his naturally fine mental endowments admirably cultivated and liberally developed. Of studious habits and love of knowledge, these characteristics adhered to him throughout his life. A man of original thinking powers, and possessed of mental capacity of a high order, he gave, notwithstanding an extensive and la- borious medical practice, diligent investigation to all the leading questions of the day, and careful study in the wide and diver- sified field of general knowledge. He was, consequently, upon all the leading subjects of information, a natural scholar, and, throughout his whole life, was recognized b}^ Ins fellow- townsmen as in the front rank of generous knowledge, and a man of very general powers. His special field of usefulness, however, was that of medicine. In his preparation for his pro- fession, his preceptors were his father, Dr. Samuel C. Wiestling, 652 Pennsylvania Genealogies. Sr., and an elder brother, Dr. Samuel C. Wiestling, Jr., both thoroughly educated ph3^sicians of skill and wide experience. He attended tlie conrse of medical lectures of the University of Pennsylvania. His father becoming disabled to continue in active practice, by reason of a paralytic stroke in the year 1817, he succeeded him in his profession, first in partnership witli his brother. Dr. Samuel C. Wiestling, Jr., which continued for a few years, and subsequently alone. This was about the year 182 L or 1822. Acquiring a large and extensive practice, both in town and country, he prosecuted the duties of his profes- sion with a degree of faithful devotion and judicious skill, which won for him the admiration and high regard of the medical fraternity and the unlimited confidence of the whole community until his death. In stature, he was about six feet in height, broad shouldered, of large head, erect in carriage, full chested, rather stout in figure and person, and dignified in appearance. He was of a cheerful disposition, affable in his manners, generous in his impulses, of sympathetic and benevo- lent habits, unselfish and forbearing, and, as a consequence, he was popular throughout his life.

He came to America and settled on Beaver creek, in Paxtang township, Lancaster county, Province of Pennsylvania, prior to August, 1782. His name appears on the tirst assessment list of the north end of Paxtang for 174:9. He d. in February, 1762, his will being probated the month following. He left a wife, Mary [Barnett.] and children as follows : 2. i. John, b. 1712; m. Elizabeth . ii. James, b. 1714. Hi. Jean, b. 1716. iv. Martha, b. 1718. V. Margaret, b. 1720. vi. Agnes, b. 1723; m. Thomas Maguire, and had a daughter Sarah. At this time it seems as if his j^oungest children, John and Agnes, with his wife, were the only members of his family in America, for, in the disposition of his estate, he directs that the other children were to have their share ''if thev came to this country." It is probable they came, and afterwards went with the tide of Scotch-Irish immigration southward, as the name appears in Virginia and the Garolinas. II. John Wiggins, ^ (John,^ James, i) b. 1712, in Ireland; came to America with his parents, and remained on the paternal farm ; he d. June 12, 1791:.

Owing to ill health, due to the previous exposures in the service, he resigned January 23, 1780. a. John, b. 1748; d. October. 21, 1880, in Northumberland county, although his will is probated as of Lower Pax- tang; left a wife, but no issue.

He was brought to this country at the age of ten b}^ his uncle, the Eev. 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," containing one hun- dred and eighty -two acres, situated in West Hanover 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 char- acter was prepared by the Eev. James Snodgrass, pastor of Hanover chm-ch, and delivered on the occasion of his funeral. His remains, with those of his wife, are interred iu old Han- over grave-yard. They had issue (surname Simonton) : i. Jean ; m. [Jamesl Clark, a. Thomas; m. Elizabeth ; removed to Greene county. Pa.

May 17, 1846, in Hanover, 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 tlie branches usually taught in the country schools of that period. As he was inclined to the medical profession, he studied. Latin under the tuition of the Pev. James P. Sharon, pastor of Derry and. Paxtang churches.

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 davs previous to the death of his mother. After the erection of the necessary build- ings in 1818, 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 inter- est 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 Jack- son, in 1824. He was elected count}^ 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 hiin 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 pi-esence and proportions, with regular features and very black hair, which retained its color to the last. He was a modest, diffident 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 r Wiggins and Simonton. 661 careful to give his children a religious training. He acquired a good reputation as a physician, and for many years had an extensive country practice. Dr. Simonton m. Maetha Davis S^^ODGEASS, b. 1790 ; d. April, 1862, daughter of Rev.

He studied theology under direction of the Rev. l!fathaniel Irwin, then pastor of the church at Neshaminy, and was licensed to preach the Gospel by the Presbytery of Pliiladelphia in December, 1785. After preaching about a year and a half in destitute places in the central and northern part of ISTew York, on the 16th of October, 1787, he accepted the call of the Hanover congregation of May previous, and until his ordination on the 13th of May, 1788, he gave his attention to that churcli. At his installation there were present of the Presbytery of Carlisle the reverend and honored ministers Revs. John Klder, John Hoge, John Linn, John Craighead, Robei't Cooper, and Samuel Waugh.

December 9, 1867, at Sao Paulo, Brazil, South America. His classical education began in the Harrisbnrg Academy, under the tuition of the Rev. Mahlon Long. After two years preparatory study, he entered the College of New Jersey, from wliicli he grad- uated in 1852, 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 to 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- cation to the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, was ordered to Brazil. He was ordained by the Presby- Wiggins and Simon ton. 663 tery of Cai-lisle, at Harrisburpf, April 14, 1S59, 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 llio 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 Sao 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 Sao 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 Sao Paulo, the last week in November, 1867. No i-elief came, and, after a brief illness, he died the month fol- lowing. He was buried on the same day from the little church of Sao Paulo, two Englishmen and two Ameri- cans officiating as pall-bearers, addresses being made in Portuguese by Rev. Mr. Blackford and Rev. Emanuel Pires. 664: Pennsylvania Genealogies. WILSON. IRISH SETTLEMENT. 1. Thomas Wilson, 1 ancestor of Hugh, was an ofScer in King William's army, among the first to cross the river Boyne, on horseback, on the morning of July 1, 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 CYaig. II. Hugh WiLSOJsr,^ (Thomas, i) b. 1689, in county Cavan, Ireland ; m.

His home lay north-west of what is now known as Howertown, in Allen township, Northampton county. Pa. His land comprised 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 Easton 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 Northamp- ton county. His last commission as justice, was issued, March 15, 1766. He died in the autumn of 1773 ; and is buried in the old grave-yard at the Settlement. He was a brother in-law of Thomas Craig the elder, who went to the Irish Settlement as early as 1728. Hugh Wilson and Sarah Craig, his wife, had issue : i.
