Holton of New York City ; and, in response to letters of invitation from him, seven gentlemen assem- bled at his residence, No. 124 W. 54th Street, New York, on the evening of February 27th, 1869. After a free interchange of views on the subject, and an interesting statement of the plan, progress and condition of the " New England Historic-Genealogical Society " by tbe Rev. E. F. Slafter, of Boston, Correspon- ding Secretary of that Society, who was present, it was determined that an effort should be made to establish in the city of New York, a similar association, for the State o'' Sew York. On the 16th of March, a cer- tificate of incorporation was filed in the office of the Secretary of State, at Albany, N. Y., and, at successive meetings of the original seven and their li lends, a code of By-Laws was pcepared, and, on the 17th of April, formally adopted. The Board of Trustees held its first regular meeting on the 24th of April, and elected the officers of the society ; and regular meetings of the Society, the Trustees and Executive Committee were helc weekly, at the residence of Dr. W. Frederic Holcombe, until the 7th of July, when the first quarterly meeting was assembled at " Mott Memorial Hall,'' No. 64 Madison Avenue, New York, where the Society has se- cured handsome accommodations for its library, collections and meetings, for the en- suing year. was adopted by the Board of Trustees, on the 8th of May, 1869. It bears upon its face a shield divided into two parts, upon one of which is depicted the arms of the State of New York ; and upon the other, three open books — this idea being borrowed from the arms of the University of Oxford, England. Below, and at the sides of the shield, a ribbon bears the legend motto of the Society, "Et palribus, ft posteritate," i. e. freely trans- lated, "Not only in honor of our aficestors, but for the sake of our posterity." Above this shield, the word and figures "Inc. 1869," preserves the date of the Society's incorpora- tion ; and around the edge of the seal, in old English letters of the 14th century, runs the title of " The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society." This seal was de- signed by S. Edward Stiles, the Recording Secretary of the Society. BULLETIN OF THE N. Y. GENEALOGICAL NEW YOEK, DECEMBEE, 1869. OUR SOCIETY PROCEEDINGS. A special meeting of the Society was held at their rooms in Mott Memorial Hall, on October 16th, 1869. Four resident, and one corresponding member were elected. Chas. B. Moore, Esq., read an instructive paper upon " Methods of Genealogical Work," and was followed with remarks bj^ Porter C. Bliss, Rev. John Beveridge, and others. The following motion was adopted. — " Re- solved, that the names of the resident mem- bers, after the number of fifty, be numbered in the order of their completing their mem- bership, and that each member be requested to furnish a pedigi-ee of his own immediate ancestry, so far as he can, to be tiled, num- bered and preserved in the archives of the Society." At a regular meeting held Oct. 30th, at the same place, five resident, and two correspond- ing members were elected ; donations of books were acknowledged from A. Oilman, Esq., S. G. Drake, Leonard Hazeltine, Essex Insti- tute of Salem, (Mass.,) Quarter-Master Gener- al's Office, (U. S. A.,) and others. Mr. Benj. Howland presented to the Society a printed copy of his pedigree showing him to be descended from John Ilowland who came to America in the Moyflou-er. Dr. D. P. Holton, Dr. Henry R. Stiles and S. Ed- ward Stiles also presented copies of their pedigrees for the archives of the Society. The following Motion was offered. — "i?e- Holvcd, that each member be requested to pre- pare a biogiaphical sketch of some ancestor ; ur of some person connected with this State, to be lead before the Society, and be request- ed to notify the Executive Committee, when ready." At a regular meeting, held November 13th, three resident and three corresponding mem- bers and two life members were elected. Chas. B. Moore, Esq., read a portion of a paper on " Dutch and English Intermarriages," the conclusion being deferred to the next meeting. The Librarian announced that the new book- case had been finished and placed in the room ; and, also that tlie Regular Meetings of the Society would be lield. hencelorth, on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month, at 1% P.

Our readers have doubtless seen in the papers a report of the recent meeting of the Lyman fanaily at the little village of Nono- tuck, at Mount Tom, in Mass. The ^Y. Y. Evenitig Mail, in noticing tiiis celebration, makes some just observations setting forth the real import of such demonstrations. " First, they show that in this country a man may " have a grandfather " and be proud of the fact, al- though that ancestor may have no ornamental or " noble " handle to his name. It is the fashion with our playwrights, novelists, and paragraphists to make sport of oiu- " new rich " who strive vainly to disguise the humiliating fact that their fathers or grandfathers were poor and honest laborers, and the game is legiti- mate. Of all forms of snobbery this is the meanest and most unnatural. But our Yankee genealogists avoid this stumbling block of oiience. They go back through a line of John Smiths to the Maytlower, nine-tenths of whom were poor men and the majority manual laborers. They take pride in an ancestry that have displayed the virtues of honesty, thrift, manliness, and more or less of the Christian graces. They may point out with, pride a few eminent divines, lawyers, statesmen, or other intellectual mag-nates, but the stock in the main shows its noble and endxu'- ing traits in the hand to hand struggles with the coarse necessities of life. "It is only in the past few years, comparatively, that the New England genealogies have been thoroughly investigated, and the results have tilled the seekers with an honorable pride. It has been said by those who have delved deeply in this sort of lore on both sides of the water, that the proportion of New England families who can show a creditable and clearly marked line of descent from the best stock of Great Britain is far greater than in the mother coun- try itself. We tirmly believe this to be true. "These investigations show the fruitfulness of the hardy stock which was transplanted from the stormy England of the time of the Stuarts to the stony soil of New England." ^c*^ A Committee of this Society has in preparation a circular Form of Genealogi- cal Lnquiry, designed to be used by all who are engaged in correspondence with a view to obtain genealogical information. In view of the great importance of making such a form as perfect as possible, the Committee respectfully request that practical genealo- gists, throughout the country, will favor them with copies of forms which they are them- selves using, or with any suggestions which may aid them in their work. Address the Librarian. BULLETIN OF THE N. Y. GENEALOGICAL ^"■^^. Donations of genealogical works, town histories, biographies, funeral, historical and commemorative sermons, addresses, etc., church manuals, military muster rolls, etc., etc., are respectfully solicited for the Library. Old Directories, Town and State Registers, and College Catalogues particularly desired. ^c*:ic Clergymen can help us in the forma- tion of our library by sending us copies of any church manuals, historical sermons, fu- neral discourses, preached and published during their own pastorate, or by their pre- decessors. Also, by copies in MS. of the old records of their churches and parishes. ,^\ Physicians frequently have an oppor- tunity, while visiting their patients, of pro- curing copies of valuable pamphlets, books, family records, etc., which they could "have for the asking," and which would prove very acceptable and important to the purposes of this Society. ^*^ Town Clerks are, by the Constitution of this Society, members ex-officio thereof, and, from their position, can contribute largely to the value of our collections, by sending us copies of curious historical documents, lists of births, marriages and deaths, etc., etc., from the records in their charge. NOTES ON BOOKS. THE OILMAN GENEALOGY, by Arthur Gil- man, of Lee, Mass. Albany : Joel Munsell, 1869. Sm. 4to. pp. xii, 324. We have seldom, if ever, examined a gen- ealogy (in which we were not personally in- terested) with so much pleasure, as we en- joyed in the perusal of this. Handsomely printed by Munsell, and well illustrated by very excellent and well engraved steel plate portraits, as well as wood cut views of locali- ties in England and this country, associated with the family history — the external appear- ance of the volume leaves nothing to be desired. The contents evince the same con- scientious and loving care and accuracy. The English portion of the history is full and interesting — the biographies numerous and well written, and the arrangement convenient — while reference to any person or anything mentioned in the book, is rendered perfectly easy and comfortable, by the numerous indexes of persons, families, places, books referred to, etc., which are given. That one devoted to the Oilman family has a very convenient arrangement, one that we have never before seen employed for distinguishing the various persons bearing the same christian name. It is to give the date of birth and decease of each, thus : Joseph 1680. 40. " 1738. 1806 118. 1772. 1772 200. The edition consists ofthree hundred copies in small quarto, and twenty copies on large paper; these last having eleven additional photographs. h. r. s. IN MEMOMAM.

This pamphlet of twenty-two pages, con- tains an interesting biography of Jean-Guii- laume Bessac, who was born in the parish of Monvalant, France, Feb. 4, 1760; came to America in 1779, settled first at Jersey City, N. J.; thence, about 1788, removed to Hud- son, N. Y.; again moved about 1809. to Green, N. Y., where he died in 1824. Also, a genealogy of his decendants. d. w. p. MY WIFE AND MY MOTHER.

REGISTER OF THE AYLSWORTH FAMILY, by Sylvester Aylswobth. Utica : Bennet, Backus & Hawley, 1840. This is a pamplilet of twelve pages, with- out cover, giving one line of the family, with- out dates for four generations, except in the family of William Aylsworth, of the fourth generation, whose descendants seem to be fully named, and in three of the households full dates are given. An appendix of three pages contains some account of other bran- ches, without dates, and the author's conclu- sions that Arthur Aylsworth was born in Wales in 1656, and was a brother of Theo- philus who, in 1664, fled to Holland, remained several years, spelling his name " Elswort," then with his family settled in the city of New York, where many of the descendants still remain. They spell their name "Els- worth." He also supposes that another brother fled in 1670, and settled in Connecti- cut, whose descendants " spell their names Ellsworth ;" and says, "to this family belonged Chief Justice Oliver Ellsworth, who was born at Windsor, Ct , April 29th, 1745, and died 1807, aged 62 years, and William W. Ells- worth, present Governor of that State." Un- fortunately for tliis last concUusion the ances- tor of the Ellsworths of Windsor, had been many years in that place before 1670. Arthur Aylsworth came to America about 1681, married Mary Brown, of Providence, R. I , and settled in North Kingston, R. I., where he died in 1725, aged 69 years.
