"As to the Patriarchs of this Brotherhood, the Lodge they opened is 
 closed to them on earth forever. The lights they kindled have long ceased 
 to burn before their altar. The voice of greeting and admonition resounds 
 not in the solitary chambers of the dead; and the swelling notes of their 
 parting hymn have long ago passed with the extinguished winds which bore 
 them. 
 
 Where they lie scattered in the little burying grounds a thousand 
 ieagues asunder — sleeping on the lonely desert, by the jagged bastions of 
 the mountains, beneath the sighing branches of the trackless wilderness, by 
 the crowded mart, or in the infinite and ever-sobbing sea, tee know not, nor 
 will we ever know; but only this, that they filled the places we fill today, 
 joined in the same welcome, wore the same badge, wrought in the same Or- 
 der, bore the same jewels, taught and received the same lessons, and ut- 
 tered the same farewell on the shore of the far Atlantic, as we today in, 
 the presence of the monarch mountains of the West; that one by one they 
 laid down the rod, the jewel and the gavel; one by one surrendered the key, 
 the pen and the scroll; one by one dropped the axe, the fascicle, and the, 
 hour-glass, and passed silently from among their brothers to the undiscov- 
 ered country, and the hidden life."

 Marple lies just above it, also, between these two creeks, bounded on the 
 North by Newton Twp. and Radner Twp. ; Upper Providence Twp., and 
 Nether Providence Twp. are due west of Springfield and Marple. Friends'

 a lay-preacher. "Was a man of rare executive power. "I never saw the occa-

 spiritual insight." Margaret was of a very ancient family, which had lived on 
 the same estate in Lancaster for nineteen generations. Before her marriage 
 to George Pox in Bristol, in 1669, her home, Swartmore Hall, had been the

 A Few Lines in Memory of Mrs. Deborah Hall, Who Departed This Life on 
 the 9th Day of the 8th Month, About 5 o'clock in the Evening, in the 
 B5th Year of Her age. Written by Her Brother, Edward Fell. (1801.) 
 
 Blessed are the dead that in the Lord doth die, 
 
 The holy scriptures fully testify; 
 
 They from their labours cease, and their reward 
 
 Is sure with him who doth their souls regard: 
 
 Their troubles and their trials that were great 
 
 While here below will end in joy complete. 
 
 And now, dear sister, as thou hadst a share 
 
 Of troubles and of sore afflictions here 
 
 Which thou for thy dear Savior's sake did bear, 
 
 I make no doubt but at that port of rest 
 
 Thy soul will land and be forever blest. 
 
 With saints and angels thy glad voice will raise 
 
 In endless hymns to celebrate His praise 
 
 Who's been thy guard, thy council and thy friend 
 
 And led thee safely to thy journey's end. 
 
 Now let vis take a retrospective view 
 
 Thy conduct and thy steps let us pursue; 
 
 Thy precepts and example did agree 
 
 Which gave them weight and bid us follow thee 
 
 As thou hast followed thy Redeemer, dear, 
 
 We ought to follow thee, and then how clear 
 
 Our evening sun will set, and how serene 
 
 Our close will be, dear friend, as thine has been. 
 
 Did we not see, did we not hear thee say 
 
 To this import, there's nothing in the way. 
 
 Pale Death approached with but solemn pace 
 
 Without one terror in his awful face 
 
 And bid thee leave this scene of sorrow here 
 
 And us (poor mourners) in our griefs to share. 
 
 Why should I say "poor mourners?" Is there cause 
 To mourn ? But nature our affection draws 
 Against our reason when we grieve for thee 
 Whom we believe is in felicity. 
 
 No cause at all to grieve; but rather say 
 The Lord who gave hath right to take away ; 
 Then let us dry our tears, and weep no more 
 
 month later these parties were recommended to be turned out of the society 
 on the advice ot Pell and others. (.Revolution.)

 On thy account, but our own loss deplore. 
 
 But since it is so ordered and decreed 
 
 That thou must go, and we must thee succeed 
 
 I know no better way to show our love 
 
 To thee, than that we do thy ways approve 
 
 And follow on as thou hast led the way; 
 
 And then with hearts rejoiced we may say, 
 
 Not only say, but also with thee sing 
 
 With cheerful voice, Oh! Death! where is thy sting? 
 
 Thy boasted might no terror is to me, 
 
 And then, oh grave, where is thy victory ! * 
 
 EXTRACTS FROM A LETTER WRITTEN BY MR. ABRAM P. MOR- 
 GAN OF JARRETTOWN, PA., TO THE EDITOR OF THIS 
 RECORD, OCT. 14, 1897. 
 
 Respected Friend: On the evening of the 8th inst. I received an- 
 other letter from thee dated September 28th, and postmarked October 
 4th, informing me that thy great-great grandfather and mother, David 
 Hall and Deborah Fell, were married in 1758. Thee says thee must now 
 find her mother's name and trace them back. 
 
 I think there are no records more reliable than the records of a 
 monthly meeting of Friends, and I fear thee has not the whole record of 
 that marriage or thee would have her mother's name. 
 
 The minutes should show that David Hall and , his wife, were 
 
 of the town of and county of ■ — ., etc. They would also show 
 
 whether he was a member of Chester Monthly Meeting, or of some other 
 Monthly meeting. By tracing the minutes back further it would show 
 whether she came to be a member of that Meeting by certificate from 
 some other Monthly Meeting either here or in England. If she did not so 
 become a, member she became so by birthright and the record of births 
 would show when she was born and where, and who her parents were. I 
 am inclined to think that Deborah Hall, thy great-great grandmother, is 
 one generation earlier than any I have known of either personally or by 
 tradition till thy first communication, though possibly she may have been 
 an older sister of my wife's grandfather. 
 
 William Penn made his first visit to his Province of Pennsylvania in 
 the summer of 1682, landing first at New Castle, in the State of Dela- 
 ware adjoining, thence Upland, which was his first landing place in his 
 Province.

 handed down in the family for over a hundred years, and is now published 
 probably for the first time. — (Ed.)

 He said to his friend* Thomas Pearson, who was with him, "What 
 shall I name this place?"— intimating that he would name it as Pearson 
 wished. 
 
 Pearson replied, "Name it Chester, after my native place." So it 
 was named Chester, and remains as thus named to this day. 
 
 Penn remained here nearly two years, and busied himself in perfect- 
 ing his government, making treaties with the Indians, planning for his city 
 of Philadelphia, and forming counties, the first four of which were 
 Philadelphia, Chester, Montgomery, and Bucks counties. Philadelphia 
 county was principally between the two rivers embracing the land around 
 his projected city; Bucks county was laid out up and along the Delaware 
 river; Chester county was laid out down the River Delaware to and along 
 the Delaware state line and west of the Schuylkill river, and Montgomery 
 county was the land lying between Chester and Bucks counties, and prin- 
 cipally east of the Schuylkill river. Chester and Montgomery were very 
 large counties, and, with Bucks and Philadelphia, embraced all the land 
 within thirty miles of Philadelphia west and north, and these comprise the 
 extreme southeastern portion of the state. The boundaries of these remain 
 the same with exception of Chester county, and this is what I want thee to 
 get clear in thy mind when we speak of Chester and Delaware counties: 
 About the last of 1700 or the beginning of 1800 a portion of the county of 
 Chester about twelve miles wide, lying along the Delaware river and down 
 to the Delaware state line, being the southeastern portion of Chester county 
 as originally laid out, was cut off from that county and erected into Dela- 
 ware county. 
 
 Chester Monthly Meeting and all of its branches, or the meetings 
 for worship belonging to it, are situated in what is now Delaware County; 
 but all of the old records with which we are interested will call it Chester 
 county. 
 
 *William Penn had sent three vessels to his province previous to his 
 
 * Thomas Pearson was the father of Sarah Pearson, mother of the emi- 
 nent American painter Benjamin West, who, in 1792, became President of the 
 British Royal Academy, and was perhaps the only American who ever de- 
 clined the honor of Knighthood which is conferred on the artist in this posi- 
 tion. This representative American was born in Springfield, Pa., in Chester 
 Co., and was an early friend and associate of Deborah Pell, our ancestress. 
 It has been said in the family that at one time they were sweethearts. Be- 
 fore he went awav to Europe and to fame she had married David Hall and 
 settled down in Chester Co. His father was John West. The old house of 
 stone where he was born is still standing on the campus of Swartmore College, 
 near Phila. It is a fine house for that day, and is used now by the faculty of 
 the school. When West declined the honor of knighthood it was on the ground 
 (if being a Quaker. He was the successor of Sir Joshua Reynolds in this posi- 
 tion. He was born in 1738. 
 
 * William Penn was b. in London in 1C44. and d. in 1718. He was 
 the son of Admiral Penn, who was aiming at a Peerage, and was much dis- 
 gusted that he should take up theology. He was in college in Oxford when 
 he met Thomas Lowe, the eloquent and forceful leader who was making so 
 many converts, and was influenced by him to become identified with the new 
 religious movement. He was finally, in Ireland, completely converted. Lowe

 embarking for the first time, and twenty-three came while here on his first 
 visit, and it was believed there were about 2,500 persons (including a few 
 Dutch that were here when he arrived) here at the time of his return. 
 
 It is reasonable to suppose that Chester Monthly Meeting was estab- 
 lished soon after his arrival; say the next year, 1683. Thee informs me in 
 thy last that Deborah, thy great-great grandmother, died in 1801, aged 65. 
 This would bring her birth down to 1736, and from this, back to 1683, 
 would leave not more than 53 years of record of the family to trace through 
 the records of Chester Monthly Meeting in America, but if the family were 
 members in England, thee will have not much difficulty in tracing them 
 there. 
 
 What I have written before this was principally to do thee a kindness, 
 and assist thee in thy desire, and it has been my pleasure to do it, and 
 thee is very welcome to what little I have done, and am willing to do 
 more if I can, for thy latest information has aroused a desire in myself to 
 know more. 
 
 Were I living in my native county of Delaware about three miles out 
 of Chester, I would like to examine those old records for myself, and doubt 
 not but I could get the opportunity; but that was sixteen miles southwest 
 from Philadelphia, and I am now in Montgomery, as many miles north of 
 that city, and about thirty miles from my old home.

 NOTE — Several very beautiful letters were received from Mr. Morgan, 
 and also from Mr. Henry Mendenhall of Media, Pa., all expressing the refined 
 courtesy of the Quaker. Without their help these records could not have been

 came in this year to Virginia; the ASSURANCE seems to have been one 
 of the largest of them. (Lists of emit/, to Amer., bet. 1,600 and 1,700, by 
 John Camden Botten.) Thos. Hall, aged 15, and Win. Hall, aged 21, were

 DR. OLAF BROMEL or OLAUS BROMAL. Swedish Physicist and 
 Botanist, after whom the order Bromeliacae, in Botany, is named. Very 
 eminent writer, author of many works in the Latin language, the principal 
 ones being "Chloris Gothica" (published Gothenbourg, 1692, 8vo., which 
 made known Swedish plants: "De Pleuritide" (1667, in 4to) ; "De Lum- 
 brieis terrestribus" (1673); "Gatalogus Generalis" (1698), and "Lupolo- 
 gia," published in 1687, in Stockholm. He accompanied, as physician, the 
 Swedish ambassadors in England, Holland and in Germany, pursuing his 
 researches, and died in 1705. He was born in the province of Nerecie in 
 1639. 
 
16 THE BROMWELL FAMILY. 
 
 MARCUS von BROMELL, his son, b. in Stockholm,, 1679; d. 1731; 
 became a, physician, and was first physician to the King of Sweden, at the 
 same time being President of the College of Medicine of Stockholm. He was 
 the author of several important works on medicine written in the Latin 
 language. 
 
 ANTHONY BRUMEL. The most noted contrapuntist of the ancient 
 French school, of whose works we have any, remains. Contemporary with 
 Jusquin and scholars of Okenheim. He is not likely to be inquired after 
 in the present age, but the fame of the great musicians of antiquity is so 
 established in books that, though not a single relic of their works has been 
 known these 2,000 years, their names and renown are still held in venera- 
 tion by mankind. (Rees Gycl., 1818.) 
 
 DR. B. BROMEL. Author of work on Etienne Marcel, Basle. 
 
 BROEMEL. Writer (liberal, political). Potsdam, Germany. 
 
 Prof. L. .Fr. Leffler, of the University of Stockholm, Swe- 
 den, sends the following notes concerning the name in Sweden. 
 (It is by no means certain that our ancestors came from that 
 country, however). 
 
 The name of BROMELL is shortened from an older form BROME- 
 LIUS, as is usually the case with Swedish names ending in ell. 
 
 In the province of Nerike {Narke) , some persons with the name of 
 Bromelius occur in the 17th century. 
 
 OLOF GUNNARSSON Merchant and burgher of Orebro in Nerike, 
 had a son, OLOF BROMELIUS, b. 1639; d. 1705; Med. Doctor. He had 
 two sons, MAGNUS and OLOF BROMELL. Magnus was ennobled and be- 
 came known as Von Bromell, and was a, celebrated physician. His son, 
 JACOB VON BROMELL, died 1790. OLAF BROMELL was commissary 
 of war. 
 
 Another : 
 
 OLAF BROMELIUS and wife, Anna Hielmer, had a daughter, Brita 
 Bromelia; m. about 1700, Sebastian Geijer. She was d. 1761 in Orebro. 
 No information as to whether this is related to the one above, nor as to 
 the fact of his having sons.

BROMWELL GENEALOGY. 
 
 (1) JACOB BROMWELL. Planter; Talbot Co., Md. 
 Was b. about 1700, and d. not earlier than 1751, which was the 
 year in which his youngest child was born. He may have lived 
 much longer than this date, though was dec'd in 1773, the year 
 of his son's second marriage, as the fact is mentioned in the mar- 
 riage certificate. His wife's name was Mary. 
 
 The first census of Maryland, taken in 1790, could not in- 
 chide him, but a number of the names are mentioned as among 
 heads of families in Talbot and Dorchester Counties. The spell- 
 ing of the clerks and recorders of that period was very irregu- 
 lar, and the name appears as Bromwell, Brumwell, Bramwel, 
 Bromel, Brummell, Brumel, etc. ; indeed, it is rather likely that 
 'the name of Bromley may sometimes be intended for this name, 
 and possibly that of Bromhall. However, we must be contented 
 with tracing those lines which spell the name Bromwell. Our 
 ancestor William spelled his name in this way, and it is likely 
 that this form of spelling is more ancient than his day, as the 
 descendants of other lines, which must be those of his brothers 
 and cousins, still use it. 
 
 In the census of 1790 the following heads of families 
 are found in Talbot and Dorchester Counties : (The records of 
 the county adjoining these were destroyed by fire.) Records 
 include heads of families. 
 
 JACOB BROMWELL. 2 free white males over 16 years, 1 free white 
 made under 16, 3 free white females, and 5 slaves. 
 
 ABRAM BROMWELL. 1 free white male over 16, 4 free white males 
 under 16, 3 free white females. 
 
 EDWARD BROMWELL. 1 free white male over 16, 5 free white 
 females, and 7 slaves. 
 
 EDWARD BROMWELL, JR. 3 free white males over 16, 1 same 
 under 16, 7 free white females, and 17 slaves. 
 
 The above are all in Talbot Co. In Dorchester occurs the name of 
 
 SHEDDIN BRUMWILL (Spedden, ?), with 3 free white males over 
 16 (1 under 16), 7 free white females, and 3 slaves. 
 
THE BROMWELL FAMILY. 19 
 
 These records show so many of the name, there was no 
 doubt a large family previous to the time of our ancestor's 
 death. The name seems to occur in the earliest Maryland rec- 
 ords. Among the first wills, recorded in Maryland is that of 
 William Brummale, or Brumale, which was recorded Dec. 4, 
 1660, and three chil. mentioned, Luke, Richard and Charles. 
 Later the will of Richard is recorded, leaving wife Joyce, 1676. 
 There was a place called Brumlye, on Wye River, left by Henry 
 Parker, 1687. There was another old estate, Bramfield, in 
 Queen Ann Co., in 1709. These coincidences suggest that the 
 name was long in the country. It is supposed they were Qua- 
 kers from the fact that our ancestor, William, was twice mar- 
 ried in Quaker meeting, both times to daughters of old Quaker 
 families. It is known that the Quakers were persecuted else- 
 where, and took refuge in Talbot Co. in 1680. Easton, Talbot 
 Co., was once a more important point than Baltimore, and prob- 
 ably larger. It was called Talbot Court House. The first Ma- 
 sonic Grand Lodge of Maryland was organized there.* 
 
 The following data is copied from an old Bible of Deborah 
 Bromwell, daughter of our ancestor William. It is believed to 
 be a record of his brothers and sisters, the children of Jacob. 
 It has the appearance of having been copied from an older book, 
 being in the handwriting of a later generation : 
 
 2 ROBERT BROMWELL. b. Feb. 11, 1729; d. 1801. 
 
 3 J. BROMWELL. b. Oct. 3, 1731; d. 1800. 
 
 4 JOHN BROMWELL. b. May 24, 1735; d. 1802. 
 
 *"There was a Masonic Lodge at Talbot Courthouse (now Easton), Tal- 
 bot Co., Md, prior to 1763 (no written records). Also one at Port Tobacco, 
 1761, called Port Tobacco Lodge at Leonardtown. These are extinct. Lodge 
 No. 34, at Talbot Court House, was chartered in 1780. The Grand Lodge of 
 Maryland was founded on the Eastern Shore, meeting, for the first time, in 
 Talbot Court House, 1783, and electing Grand Officers. This was not a suc- 
 cess until three years later, when another convention assembled on the East- 
 ern Shore, elected officers, and established the Grand Lodge of Maryland. A 
 Lodge at Cecil Co. was established about this time, and Elkton No. 8, at Elk, 
 now Elkton. Port Tobacco'was instituted about 1790. These are now gone. 
 The corner-stone of the Capitol at Washington was laid by the Grand Lodg< 
 of Maryland, Sept., 1793. The Grand Lodge convened in Easton, Md., until 
 1794, then removed to Baltimore, only once thereafter meeting in Easton, in 
 1806. The first Grand Lodge meetings in Baltimore were 'in old Concordia 
 Lodge rooms, now unknown. Afterward in second story of the old Watch- 
 house, corner of Belvedere St. (now North), and Orange Alley (now Lexing- 
 ton)." {Maryland Proceedings.)

 NOTE — There is a record of the will of Robert Brummel, planter, Dor- 
 chester Co. who died in 1709. Widow, Rebecca, and sons John, Abraham, 
 Isaac and Jacob. He leaves plantations called "Taylor's Promise" and "Part- 
 nership." (Early Wills of Md. Baldwin.) There is another family of Brum- 
 mels descended from Joseph of Annapolis, whose family settled later at Hamp- 
 stead. He came not long before the Amer. Revolution. This name is some- 
 times spelled Bromwell. 
 
 SECOND GENERATION. 
 
 The Descendants of William. (10) 
 
 (10) WILLIAM BROMWELL. b, Sept. 14, 1751; d. 
 aged about 69 years, Dec 31, 1320; m. twice, both times in 
 Friends' Meeting, first to Mary, dau. of Moses and Alice For- 
 ster of Phila. ; second to Beulah, dau. of David and Deborah 
 (Fell) Hall of Springfield, Pa. ; the second marriage was of date 
 April 1, 1779. 
 
 At the time of the marriage to Beulah his estate is as- 
 sessed at $7,700, in Philadelphia, which was quite a fortune 
 for that time, when one dollar would buy as much as four dollars 
 would buy at the present date. This may represent his patri- 
 mony. In addition to his own taxes he seems to have paid taxes 
 and been administrator for estates, valued at $10,000. He was 
 evidently a man of unusual sense and ability to be entrusted 
 with property in this way, when only twenty-eight years- of 
 age. He seems to have had a shop for the manufacture 
 of wire and wheat fans, sieves and other articles used in the 
 milling and building trades. Removing to Baltimore this busi- 
 ness was increased, and in time became quite large, SO' that he 
 was enabled to leave at his death considerable to each of his 
 large family of children. In addition to the factory he carried 
 on a large lumber yard, and bought and sold lumber, and owned 
 
THE BROMWELL FAMILY. 21 
 
 parcels of land in different parts of Maryland and Delaware. 
 The place of business in Baltimore was for many years at 17 
 McEldery's, Wharf. In 1865 William West kept office in the 
 building, formerly owned by him, and which he had erected 
 near Fell's Point. Before and after his death his sons William 
 and Henry B. and Jacob carried on business at the same place 
 under the firm name of W. & H. Bromwell. (1817-1822.) 
 
 It is probable that he died in Baltimore, though this is 
 not certain, as he possessed country property, where he carried 
 on planting, and may have died at one of these places. All of 
 his children were reared in the religion of the Society of Friends, 
 and were eckicated in the Friends' schools, which were the finest 
 the country afforded at that time. He was a strict disciplinarian 
 and very religious. 
 
 There is a tradition in the family that William and Beu- 
 lah were both very handsome, Beulah in particular being of 
 remarkable sweetness and gentleness, with face of regular and 
 beautiful features. She was an exhorter, and would sometimes 
 "speak in meeting when the spirit moved," and, though very re- 
 fined, was fond of expressing the natural eloquence that was in 
 her. She used to wear silvery gray dresses, with snowy 'kerchief 
 of the finest linen, with cap to match. These would be hem- 
 stitched with much delicacy, for while the Quakers eschewed 
 embroideries and laces, they allowed themselves much luxury 
 in quality of both material and workmanship on their clothing, 
 and their plain dresses were often marvels of dainty needle- 
 work. Beulah was considered a most remarkable woman. 
 
 She died at 1 o'clock a. m., March 21, 1824, aged 61 years, 
 10 months and 17 days. Her funeral was attended by many 
 Quakers from all the country around, and even from Phila. 
 and Chester Co., where she had spent her girlhood. 
 
 At the present time a trolley ride through enchanting bits 
 of woodland and by exquisite little glens will well repay the 
 descendant of William and Beulah who visits Philadelphia,

 and wishes to see the country made sacred by several genera- 
 tions of ancestors whose lives were remarkable examples of 
 goodness and usefulness. The lovely Brandywine River, so 
 wonderful for its scenery, flows down through Chester Co. and 
 empties into the Delaware near Wilmington. The famous and 
 beautiful Wissa-hickon is not far away, and all the country 
 around is filled with groves of fine trees, some of these of ancient 
 date, with the luscious color which the rich soil produces, this 
 being the "Garden of Pennsylvania." A trip to old Darby and 
 to Swartmore and to old Chester, where many ancient houses can 
 be seen, should be part of the pilgrimage, and it will not be 
 complete without a visit to some of the old meeting houses, sev- 
 eral of which are yet kept up in the old style.

 1780 ; m. Eliza Coulson. Ii© d. July 10, 1827, from drinking a 
 glass of ice-water after being overheated in the sun. He had 
 lumber yards and other business in Baltimore, and carried on a 
 business in weaving wire and the manufacture of wheat fans. 
 In 1805 was in partnership with his brother David, and later 
 with his brothers Henry B. and Jacob, in the manufacture of 
 wire and wire weaving, and making of wire goods. He was 
 very devout and religious, and an excellent business man, and 
 made a great deal of money, but lost much of it, in company 
 with his brother when the lumber yards were burned in 1822. 
 He kept up a fine country home in Cecil Co., and spent much 
 of his time there. The quaint old house still stands where he 
 lived when in Port Deposit. The place was called Merlyn Park, 
 and all his children were born there. It is on the land now 
 owned by the heirs of his son, Dr. Robert E. Bromwell, and is 
 used now by the tenant. Dr. Bromwell died in the newer house, 
 which was called Hill wood, and is situated some distance from 
 the old one. The place is most beautiful, with fine old trees 
 and lawns. The scenery about Port Deposit is ideally lovely, 
 being varied, with hills of broken outline, and much coloring. 
 Nottingham Church is near by, with its hedges of clipped cedar 
 and grand old elms. Here the family of William have always 
 worshipped, and in the beautiful grounds surrounding the little 
 edifice of pinkish stone, many of them are buried.

34 THE BROMWELL FAMILY. 
 
 There is a romantic tradition related of this lady, which 
 has been handed down to her descendents, and is worth record- 
 ing. It is said that her father, with his two little daughters, 
 Helen or Ellen Stuart Moore, and Rennie Moore, came to the 
 Colonies when the children were two and three years of age, 
 having his own ship, and returning to Scotland later, leaving 
 the children in care of a relative. He was never afterward 
 heard from, and it is supposed the ship was lost, or that he had 
 been killed in the rebellion going on at that time. His name 
 was Robert Moore, and his wife was Helen Stuart. He was 
 thought to have been a relative of Sir John Moore. There is 
 also in this branch of the Bromwell family a tradition relating 
 to Bromwell, which might be worth mentioning; it is to the 
 effect that the name was originally Cromwell, and that the first 
 ancestor in America changed the first letter of his name on com- 
 ing to this country, because he was a political exile, following 
 the Cromwellian downfall in England. For a long time after 
 the Restoration the name of Cromwell was held in disrepute 
 in England. Even in the Colonies families were not anxious to 
 acknowledge any connection with the fallen Protector, as it often 
 in those times meant political and social death to them. The 
 Protector died in 1658, and no doubt it was at least a hundred 
 years before this persecution and the fear it created, wore out. 
 
 Jacob Bromwell was said to have been a very large, portly 
 man, and to have been fond of good living, and to have kept 
 open house and table for all of his friends and kindred, almost 
 to the detriment of his estate.

THE BROMWELL FAMILY. 45 
 
 He was reared in the Quaker schools of Baltimore, the 
 finest the city afforded, receiving a classical education, and be- 
 ing taught, as all his father's children were, the religion of the 
 Society of Friends. His father had a very handsome and com- 
 fortable home in Baltimore, and also visited often his planta- 
 tion on the "Eastern Shore." He reared his children with strict 
 religious observances, but for some reason those who "married 
 out of meeting" did not displease him as much as they did his 
 gentle and pious wife Beulah. While he was a very religious 
 and good man, he was not fanatical as some were, and had 
 broad views. Henry, who was the pet and darling of his mother, 
 and much like her in disposition and temperament, very much 
 wished to go to England and study art, for which he was said 
 to have great talent. His grandmother Hall (Deborah Fell) 
 had been a friend of Benjamin West, the famous painter, when 
 West was a boy in Chester Co., Pa. She was fond of relating 
 stories of West, and his success in Europe so interested young 
 Henry that he for some time wished to cultivate this talent in 
 schools abroad, but was never able to carry out his design. His 
 early years were spent in work and study in his father's office 
 as bookkeeper and accountant. He wrote a very beautiful hand, 
 and his letters give evidence of excellent education and man- 
 ners. 
 
 In the war of 1812 he, with his brothers Jacob and David, 
 took part, for Quaker youths could fight to protect their homes. 
 He was one of the defenders of Baltimore in the Battle of 
 North Point, the decisive battle of the war. He was then 17 
 years of age, but his brothers were older. He first went into 
 business for himself with his elder brother William in 1815, 
 and, according to the articles of agreement between them, Will- 
 iam contributed all the capital, $14,854.75, while Henry and 
 James Clark, the other partner, were to carry on the business, 
 and pay William interest on the money thus loaned. This ar- 
 rangement seems to have worked well, for only two years later, 
 
46 THE BROMWELL FAMILY. 
 
 in 1817, this firm was dissolved, and William and Henry again 
 made articles of agreement by which William contributed $19,- 
 000 cash, while Henry put in nearly $4,000, which represented 
 the profits from the previous venture. They had a large lumber- 
 yard and carried on quite a business. William, in addition to 
 this, had a shop where he carried on the business of wheat-fan 
 making and wire-weaving. His connection with Henry was only 
 in the lumber-yard, and he probably helped with advice and in 
 other ways, as he was much older and more experienced. The 
 business was flourishing in every way, and growing month by 
 month, when, in 1822, June 23rd, a fire swept all away. It was 
 Sunday morning, and the yards were surrounded by high fences. 
 A man had whipped a negro that morning, and in revenge the 
 negro had set fire to his master's store near the lumber yards. 
 The shingles and other dry piles of wood and lumber easily 
 caught from the blaze of the store, and in a very few hours all 
 the worldly possessions of Henry and his brother William were 
 destroyed. It was not possible to put the fire out, and there 
 was no insurance. William did not feel the loss so much as 
 Henry, for he had another good business, and also land and 
 other property. Later, when the father's estate was divided, the 
 children all shared in the patrimony, and this gave a start again 
 to Henry, but he was much discouraged and diffident for years 
 afterward, although he again went into the lumber business after 
 his removal to Cinn., or about 1826. Here he was associated 
 with others in the building of steamboats for use on the Ohio 
 River, then a great thoroughfare to the west and south. 
 
 The following old paper serves to show the sort of boats 
 that were built in those days, as well as to explain several items 
 of his business at that time: 
 
 "Cincinnati, Feb. 23, 1825. 
 
 "This is to certify that we, John Newton, Henry B. Bromwell, and 
 Abraham P. Howell, have this day contracted with Isaac Hamet to build us 
 a Steamboat, to be called the 'Dandy,' of the following size and construction, 
 and on the following conditions: 
 
THE BROMWELL FAMILY. 47 
 
 "She is to be 80 feet straight rabbit on the keel, and 19 feet beam, 
 and precisely the shape of the model shown us, and to be built of the very 
 best of material, and that to be well seasoned. The keel to be of good white 
 oak, the timbers to be one-third locust, one-third red cedar, and the other 
 third white oak, clear of rots, bad knots, sap and windshakes. The kelson 
 and keel are to be cut out, and the timbers let in so that the kelson and 
 keel meet each other and make a good joint. The clamps are to be made of 
 white oak, and notched into the timber about one inch. The bottom of the 
 boat is to be made of good, sound white oak, of such thickness and width 
 as we may think best, and to be spiked and bolted on in the best manner. 
 
 "The Deck is to be made of good, sound timber, clear of rots, bad 
 knots, windshakes, etc., and both bottom and deck to be caulked and 
 pitched in the best manner; she is to be finished with a guard and railing, 
 rudder and bowsprit, and, in fact, to be finished in first-rate style and full 
 as well as the best of boats are finished, and to be delivered to us in the 
 water, clear of all breakages, injuries, or anything of the kind. For which 
 we are to pay him $1,000. We are, if we think proper, to pay for the tim- 
 ber and lumber and hands' wages to his order, to the amount of $600, and 
 when the boat is finished, we are to pay him the balance of $400, or he is to 
 find every article of material and pay hands' wages, and we are to pay him 
 $150 when the boat is one-fourth completed, and $150 when two-fourths 
 completed, and $150 when three-fourths completed, and the balance when 
 fully completed and delivered. He also agrees to complete and deliver said 
 boat in three months from this date, and as much sooner as possible, or to 
 pay $5 each day for each day we may be kept out of said boat after the 
 three months expire, and he also agrees that John Newton may be there 
 and see the work going on, and have the privilege of making such altera- 
 tions as he may think proper, and throw out such timber as he may think 
 unfit to go into said boat. It is also agreed that all spikes and bolts are to 
 be made of the best Junietta iron. It is also agreed that he is to furnish 
 the capson, and we the iron for said capson.

 The family have a tradition that the boats were operated 
 at a loss on account of several breakages and wrecks. At any 
 rate, he seems to have removed to Dayton, Middletown, and later 
 to Coshocton Co., O., and in 1836 to Illinois, where he took 
 up some land, to which he was entitled as a "bounty" for his 
 services in the war of 1812. This land was in Cumberland, on

 the "National Koad," then finished thus far, and, as fortune 
 would have it, was stopped at Cumberland, and instead of being 
 the great thoroughfare to St. Louis that the people expected, 
 was never completed much beyond this point. It was a fine 
 road, macadamized, built at the expense of the government, and 
 had been promoted by Henry Clay. Many persons filled the 
 country at this time traveling along this road. It had stone 
 bridges, and property along it was considered likely to be valu- 
 able. The family lived in exile here for twelve years before 
 they were able to trade this land for other property and move 
 away.* He had brought with him in moving to Illinois a num- 
 ber of excellent books, and they were able to educate their 
 children, and, in fact, started a school in the place which they 
 kept up for some tinm He was always anxious to help in every 
 way to promote education in the county, and it did much good. 
 He was always greatly beloved for his sweetness of nature, 
 which, united with his generosity and attractive manners, made 
 him one to be singled out in any community, and remembered 
 with tenderness even by those in no way related to him. 
 
 He was always very fond of children, and especially of 
 his little grandchildren, Genie in particular being his favorite. 
 He always called her "Little Pet" and otherwise gave her great 
 attention. The two eldest children of his daughter Laura had 
 been his first favorites, and as they were one after the other 
 stricken by death, his heart was almost broken ; he grieved for 
 years over this loss of these two little grandchildren; one was 
 born after the other died, and both died at the same age. His 
 daughter Henrietta was the idol of his heart at all times, but 
 she died at the age of 25 years. He could not give her up, but 
 would take his chair and spend hours in the graveyard grieving 
 and refusing to be comforted. She was a remarkable young

 and hair that curled naturally and hung in long ringlets around

 filled with the spirit of it, as persons did at that time in those 
 lonely situations. She had a little Sunday-school for the chil- 
 dren of the neighborhood, which she kept up for years, and also 
 a little private day school and a class in singing. She was much 
 like her brother in disposition and appearance and temperament. 
 
50 THE BROMWELL FAMILY. 
 
 The country was full of malaria, occasioned by the open- 
 ing up of the rich soil of the prairies and forest lands. Every 
 house had a case of sickness, and many deaths occurred in every 
 family during a number of years. They were all ill most of the 
 time for fifteen years after coming to Illinois, and the country 
 contained no money, and there were no markets. They had so 
 much sickness during this period that the survivors of the fam- 
 ily for thirty years afterward, or as long as they lived, continued 
 to complain and feel that they were not quite well and never 
 would be. They were never reconciled to the death of this 
 beautiful and gifted daughter and sister, a martyr to the settle- 
 ment of Illinois. Her mother would grieve' and weep over the 
 loss forty years afterward. She was buried in the little "Cum- 
 berland Burying Ground," on the "National Koad," near the 
 house where she died. 
 
 His wife was a Avoman of so much vigor that she kept 
 things from becoming stagnant even in a western wilderness. 
 If she could have moved every year she would have done so, and 
 encompassed the earth in her desire for change. He gave up 
 the place in 1848 and went to Vandalia, which had been the 
 capital of Illinois, afterward removed to Springfield. He was 
 a Mason, having been a member in Baltimore of King David's 
 Lodge, and of Jerusalem Chapter R. A. M. of Maryland. In 
 Vandalia he joined Fayette Lodge, and later on removing to 
 Charleston, after about ten years in Vandalia, he was a mem- 
 ber of Charleston Lodge No. 35, which performed the beautiful 
 rites of the Craft at his funeral, which was very large. Many 
 of the Masons appeared in blue sashes, a fashion not now in 
 vogue. The diploma herein represented was always carried by 
 him on his travels to New Orleans and other distant places dur- 
 ing the active years of his life. 
 
 They had six children, but only three grew to adult age. 
 He adored his son "Pelham," and this feeling was returned. 
 So strongly had it been impressed on the son that he should

 take care of his father, that in dying, when an old man nearly 
 80 years of age, years after the death of his father, he talked 
 incessantly in his delirium of his feeling of responsibility, say- 
 ing: "Where is father? Is he in the house? Don't let him 
 go out into the storm."

 ( 104) HENRY PELHAM HOLMES BROMWELL. b. 
 Aug. 26, 1823, in Bait., Md. ; m. Elizabeth Emily, dan. of John 
 Wright Payne and Elizabeth (Rice) Payne, on June 20, 1858, 
 in Marshall, 111. ; he d. in Denver, Colo., Jan. 9, 1903. 
 
 He came with his parents to Oinn., 0., in 1824, when an 
 infant; lived in childhood in Montgomery, Middletown, Day- 
 ton and in Coshocton, 0., in that state, and in 1836, when 13 
 years of age, came to Cumberland, Clark Co., 111., a town no 
 more on the map, but which was on the site of the present town 
 of Casey. 
 
 In 1844, when 21 years of age, he taught school in the old 
 stone school house in Marshall (called "The Academy") and 
 was very successful, and esteemed a great scholar by the neigh- 
 borhood. But his ambition was to study law, so as soon as the 
 land could be exchanged for a newspaper, the family departed 
 for Vandalia, where they lived during a number of years, or 
 from 1848 until 1858. Here he assisted his father in the work 
 of carrying on his paper, "The Age of Steam/' and at the same 
 time studied law, and came to the bar in Nov., 1853. He 
 made very elaborate preparation for his examination in law, and 
 was fortified at all points, having exhausted himself in studies 
 to be able not only to pass, but to pass without a mistake, and 
 in fact to surprise the old lawyers by his perfect work. To his 
 astonishment and chagrin the board declined to> examine him at 
 all, but had a few jokes at his expense, and gave him his cer- 
 tificate. This was something he had not thought of, and was 
 one of the great disappointments of his young life. In speaking 
 of it years afterward, he always used it as an illustration of 
 the fact that his whole life through he had had much to contend 
 with. 
 
 In 1853, soon after being admitted to the bar, he was 
 elected County Judge of Eayette Co., being elected at the same 
 time ex-officio chairman of the County Board, which went at 
 that time with the office of County Judge. While in this office

 he had charge of rebuilding the court house (formerly the state 
 capitol building), and made all the plans, drawings and con- 
 
 tracts, and let all the work, and it was finished in good. style 
 for the time. It still stands, one of the examples of the old 
 court, houses of that period. 
 
 While in Vandalia he made a campaign for Congress 
 
54 THE BEOMWELL FAMILY. 
 
 against Aaron Shaw, who was successful. His friends and 
 intimates at this period included Robert G. Ingersoll, who was 
 much devoted to him, and wrote him some very friendly letters 
 for years afterward. Ingersoll was also studying law, and try- 
 ing to write, and sent many communications to the "Age of 
 Steam" some of which, by the way, had to be rejected. 
 
 Vandalia, besides having been the capital of the state, was 
 for many years one of the largest and most important places, and 
 most of the eminent lawyers of the time, such as Lincoln, Sid- 
 ney Breese, and others, practiced in the courts there, and many 
 others since famous were frequently in the place. Joseph and 
 David Gillespie, of Madison Co., came there often, and on the 
 eastern side of the circuit Richard W. Thompson came over 
 from Indiana. He and Joseph Marshall and Caleb B. Smith 
 were thought to take the palm. Breeze was an illustrious man 
 (of Carlyle). He was U. S. Senator, and afterwards on the 
 Supreme Bench of Illinois, being Judge under three different 
 constitutions of the state. Years afterward, in old age, in re- 
 viewing the eminent lawyers whom he had known in Illinois 
 during his life there, he gave the palm to these, and to Judge 
 Gregory of Fayette Co. ; to Uri Manley of Clark Co., "who was 
 a splendid lawyer and fine gentleman; to James G. Allen of 
 Palestine, who ran against Breeze for Congress at one time ; 
 to Edmund Y. Rice of Montgomery Co., who was in the Con- 
 stitutional Convention of 1870 ; to Charles H. Constable of 
 Marshall (splendid lawyer) ; James M. Davis of Vandalia ; Sam- 
 uel W. Moulton, who was member of Congress (Shelby Co.) 
 in 1864; to James R. Connolly of Charleston, who was later 
 in Congress from that district; to Judge Thornton and Judge 
 Anthony of Shelby Co. ; Seth Post of Macon, Co. ; Judge S. B. 
 Gookins of Terra Haxite (Ind.) ; John P. Usher, afterward Sec- 
 retary of the Interior under President Lincoln ; Stephen T. Lo- 
 gan of Springfield, who, with Lincoln and "Long Archibald 
 Williams, were counted the three heads of the state for many

 years. Later, on removing to Charleston, he made the acquain- 
 tance of Orlando B. Ficklin, who was the leader of the Democ- 
 racy in Coles Co. at that time, and whose wife was Elizabeth 
 Colquitt, daughter of Senator Colquitt of Georgia, the noted 
 leader in the Rebellion. John Scofield of Marshall was another 
 who was intimately associated with him, and grew up in Mar- 
 shall, and afterward attained to the Supreme Bench of Illinois,

 and was offered a place on the Supreme Bench of the United 
 States, but declined for the reason that his wife was an invalid 
 and could not leave Marshall to live in Washington. 
 
 Illinois was, in fact, at that time and later not a bad en- 
 vironment for a young lawyer. He could find plenty of good 
 subjects to sharpen his metal upon. During all the years of 
 his residence in Cumberland he studied incessantly, and was 
 becoming proficient in Latin, Creek and the modern languages, 
 besides mastering mathematics and the natural sciences. 
 
 In 1856 he was on the Republican ticket for Elector for 
 Fremont, but was defeated. In 1857 he removed to Charleston, 
 111., (Oct.), and in 1860 was a candidate for Presidential Elec- 
 tor for Lincoln, and was elected. He was on the school board, 
 also, in Charleston. In 1861 he was nominated for the Con- 
 
56 THE BROM WELL FAMILY. 
 
 stitutional Convention for counties of Douglas, Moultrie and 
 Coles. His Democratic opponent, 0. B. Ficklin, was elected. 
 In 1864 lie was nominated for Congress against John Eaton 
 (Dem.), and elected by 3,300 majority.* The nomination (as 
 in all cases where he was concerned), had been unanimous. He 
 was again nominated and elected in 1866, his opponent this time 
 being Gen." John 0. Black, the District being the 7 th, and this 
 time his majority being 4,300. Then, in 1869, he was nomi- 
 nated (by acclamation) and elected a member of the Second 
 Constitutional Convention for the counties of Coles, Douglas 
 and Vermilion. 
 
 He came to Colorado' in Oct. -Nov., 18 70 (arriving Nov. 
 10th). Was President of the School Board Dist. Ko. 2 for four 
 years. Elected to the Territorial Legislature (upper House), 
 in 1873-5, serving two years. Made campaign for Congress in 
 1874, being defeated through the interests which he had antag- 
 onized in the Territorial Council, when he had prevented some 
 legislation which was directed toward the confiscation of the pub- 
 lic lands. 
 
 In 1878 he was elected to the Legislature of Colorado, and 
 during his term of office was appointed County Judge, but de- 
 clined to accept. He was elected a member of the Constitu- 
 tional Convention of Colorado in 1875, and was the one who 
 more than any other secured for the women of Colorado the 
 right to the franchise. Eor this he has been called "the Father 
 of Woman Suffrage in Colorado." He was a most eminent 
 
 NOTE — * In a communication from Gov. Richard Tates of 111. to Pres- 
 ident Lincoln, of date Nov. 1, 1864, he requests the President to furlough any 
 troops that can possibly be spared of the 49th, 114th and 119th Regs, of 111. 
 Inf. (then moving back to 111.), in order that they may vote: "It need not 
 detain them longer than four days, and the necessity for electing a loyal 
 State Senate is absolute ; and increase of three members of Congress, viz. : 
 Jehu Baker defeating Morrison ; Bromwell defeating Baton, and Cullom defeat- 
 ing Stuart, depends on these regiments ; and the Presidential and State ticket 
 need that aid to guarantee success ; defeat in 111. is worse than defeat in the 
 field, and I do hope you will immediately order that these regiments may be, 
 allowed to remain and vote on the route to Tennessee. Please answer at 
 Springfield as soon as possibly convenient."

 member of this body, serving on the Committee on "Order of 
 Business and Proper Rules for the Government of the Conven- 
 tion;" Chairman of the Committee on "State, Municipal and 
 County Indebtedness;" "Revisions and Adjustments;" on Stand- 
 ing Committee on "Rules;" on "The Right of Suffrage and Elec- 
 tions" and his Minority Report brought in from this Committee 
 is printed in page 266 of the Proceedings of the Convention 
 (edition of 1907.) In 1881 he was appointed to revise the 
 laws of Colorado, which he did, working several years. (Stat- 
 utes of 1884..) The work is still the official law of the state. 
 (His name does not appear on the book, however, except in the 
 preamble.) 
 
 He was always most eloquent. When, in Congress, he 
 made his speech on the Civil Rights Bill, Thaddeus Stevens 
 came to him, and, taking both hands, said, "It was grand." As 
 Stevens was the finest orator in the House, the praise was ap- 
 preciated. 
 
 He ran on the same ticket with Lincoln in 1856, both be- 
 ing candidates for Presidential Elector, Lincoln being for Elec- 
 tor-at-Large, and he being for elector for the Seventh District 
 (Buchanan's time). Both voted for Fremont. Others on the 
 ticket were Colonel Olney of Chester, and John W. Palmer, 
 who was candidate from the Springfield District; Allen C. Pul- 
 ler of Winnebago Co., Judge Plato, Leonard Swett (Blooming- 
 ton), Lawrence Weldon (Clinton). The ticket stood:

 For many years he had been one of the most influential 
 and prominent speakers and orators in promoting the organi- 
 zation of the Republican party in Illinois, and to show how he 
 worked, and what his influence was, a few letters of that period

 are appended to this biography. He "stumped" the state with 
 Lincoln, and assisted him in that most important campaign of 
 
 1860. (See Article, p. 72.) For twenty years he played a most 
 important part in the political work of Illinois. 
 
 He was made a Mason in Temperance Lodge No. 16, at 
 Vandalia, 111., in 1854; Senior Deacon, 1855; Worshipful Mas- 
 ter, 1856-7. Removing to Charleston, he was, in June, 1858, 
 elected a member and Worshipful Master of Charleston Lodge 
 JSTo. 35, being re-elected in '59-'60-'61-'62 and '63. In 1861 he 
 was appointed Grand Orator of the Grand Lodge of Illinois. 
 
 In 1862-4-9 he continued to fill this office. In 1863 he was 
 elected Senior Grand Warden, Deputy Grand Master in 1864, 
 and Grand Master in 1865. He declined re-election in 1866 as 
 being unjust to J. It. Gorin, who had served as his deputy dur- 
 ing his absence in Washington attending the stormy sessions of 
 the Congress of 1865-6. 
 
 He took the Royal Arch Degrees in Edgar Chapter, Paris, 
 111., in 1859. He was High Priest of Keystone Chapter, No. 
 54, Charleston, 111., in 1861-2-3, received the Degree of Royal 
 and Select Master at Paris, 111., in 1860 or '61 ; the orders of 
 Knighthood in Ellwood Commandery in Springfield, 111., in 
 
 1861, and the Scottish Rite Degrees to the 32cl in Denver, Colo., 
 1877. He was an honorary member of Naval Lodge No. 4, and 
 Pantalpha Lodge No. 25, in the District of Columbia. In Den- 
 ver he affiliated with Lodge No. 5, April 4, 1874, and with 
 Denver Chapter No, 2, May 22, 1878. He was Grand Orator of 
 the Grand Lodge of Colorado in 1874, and was made an honor- 
 ary member of this body in 1889. He was also an honorary 
 member of the Scottish Rite bodies of Denver. Lie was the 
 originator of a branch of Masonry known as the F. & A. Archi- 
 tects, which flourished for a number of years. It was designed 
 to impart to students of Masonry a knowledge of the symbolism 
 not otherwise obtainable. It had five Lodges — one in Charles- 
 ton, 111. ; one in Washington, D. C. ; at Denver, and at Portland.

 Maine, and San Francisco. There was also a Grand Lodge. 
 After his retirement from active work in it, the Lodges became 
 dormant. 
 
 His work on Symbolry occupied him for twenty years in 
 the composition, and was not published until after his death, 
 under the auspices of the Grand Lodge of Colorado. He made 
 elaborate and beautiful plates for its illustration, finely drawn 
 in water color. This work, now published and circulated in 
 nearly every Grand Jurisdiction in the world, has been made 
 the subject of resolutions by the Grand Lodge of Illinois, by 
 which it is characterized as "The most remarkable contribution 
 of its class ever made to Masonic literature." 
 
 Lawrence 1ST. Greenleaf characterized him as "The foremost 
 Mason of his time." The late Dr. Joseph Robbins, one of the 
 most eminent scholars in Masonry the Craft has ever had, said in 
 an address delivered before the Grand Lodge of Illinois that he 
 was "the most singularly striking personality that has graced, 
 the presence and adorned the annals of this Grand Lodge since 
 its organization." 
 
 The following is from William E. Ginther of Charleston, 111. (It was 
 published in The Charleston Courier, in 1903) : 
 
 "His orations have never been surpassed, if, indeed, they have been 
 equaled. A few brief quotations from one will prove this assertion : 'Truth, 
 Most Worshipful Grand Master, is the corner-stone of the Masonic edifice; 
 the stone of foundation of Enoch, and the glory of the Grand Architect of 
 the Universe. * •* Truth is freedom, and error is slavery throughout 
 
 the universe of God; and truth, and the freedom it confers, must prevail at 
 last. Error may wrestle and combat under countless transformations, and 
 at times grow strong, and become as a, devastating storm; but truth, the 
 celestial fire-bolt of Jupiter, hidden in the clouds, breaks from its own 
 bosom to scatter and dissipate its rage, and make way for the standards 
 of light. * * * For these reasons I have said that truth is the corner- 
 stone of the Masonic edifice. For, if it were otherwise, the Masons would 
 be neither free nor accepted; the edifice itself would not be the temple of 
 knowledge and light, but a cave of superstition and darkness. Every crime 
 would find a refuge in its courts, and instead of the Divine order of Jerusa- 
 lem and the glory of the Shekinah, the confusion of Babel, and the darkness 
 of Egypt would settle about its crumbling tower. Well might the philos-

 ophers of all ages seek for truth as the most precious object to which man 
 may attain in mortal life, whether it be set forth in the plain enunciation 
 of Solomon, or veiled in the awful myths of the* seers of Chebar and Pat- 
 mos; whether taught in simple household words, or the wondrous allegories 
 of Pandit and Eosicrucian.' This must suffice for want of space. 
 
 "At any and all times when he arose to speak he commanded undi- 
 vided attention. His conclusions and advice were always adopted with- 
 out a question, and to this day I do not remember any one who ever spoke 
 an unkind or unloving word of him. 
 
 "In the beginning of his public career he possessed and gave life to 
 native talents, found in comparatively few cases among the sons of men. 
 To those, and to his persistent studies must be ascribed the wonderful de- 
 velopment by his own efforts to that remarkable and profound erudition 
 which distinguished him in after life. He was equally at home in history, 
 and in the arts and sciences, and his poetic works prove his conspicuous 
 ability in that direction, notably that upon the "Boulder." 
 
 "His extraordinary command of the English language was derived 
 from an industrious study of philology, both in its primary and general 
 sense. He knew as much, or more, of the German tongue and the German 
 masters as the writer of this biography, who is of that nationality by birth. 
 He who will read his translation into English of Schiller's great poems of 
 'Das Lied von der Glocke' (The Song of the Bell), and 'Der Taucher' (The 
 Diver ) , and his comments thereon will be readily convinced of the truth of 
 this assertion. 
 
 "There can be no wonder, therefore, to one knowing these facts, that 
 he attained to extraordinary powers of eloquence in oratory, and instant 
 readiness to respond in a telling manner to a call for a speech upon any 
 topic upon which he had not been previously apprised. During one of 
 his terms in Congress he accepted an invitation from the Masonic Fratern- 
 ity in Baltimore to a great festival, and a request for an address upon 
 purely Masonic mysteries. Upon his arrival from Washington, in the large 
 hall where he was to speak, he found to his astonishment and dismay that 
 it was filled not alone by the Masons, but also by their mothers, wives, sis- 
 ters, sweethearts and aunts, whose presence (not to speak of their beauty, 
 which ordinarily would have delighted and moved his loving and widowed 
 heart to palpitation), was entirely out of place with him upon that occa- 
 sion, as it ruined his carefully prepared speech, and left him stranded upon 
 the shores of his immediate resources. He pulled himself together, however, 
 and, as he expressed it to the writer, succeeded in making the best of all 
 the orations that he had ever delivered impromptu or otherwise. The 
 Press of Baltimore afterwards confirmed his opinion. 
 
 "The power and volume of his voice also contributed to his effective- 
 ness as an orator. When he delivered his great speech upon the newly-laid 
 corner-stone of the Masonic Temple in Washington, his eloquent words

 were distinctly beard by some ladies of his acquaintance at an open window, 
 blocks away. 
 
 "He had, and ever preserved, a sunny temper; this, and his pleasing 
 ways, together with his accomplishments as a conversationalist, uncon- 
 sciously made him the central figure upon all occasions among his associ- 
 ates, both of high and low degree of culture. 
 
 "One of the most conspicuous of the traits that made him popular 
 was his humility, and constant effort to ascribe to others what really came 
 from himself, and made for success and use. His greatness and talents 
 were conspicuous, and appreciated wherever he went." 
 
 The "Song of the Wahbeek" was written at different times 
 during his life, some portions of it, such as the story of the 
 Whippoorwill having been published in The Age of Steam in 
 Vandalia. This paper seems to have had a wide circle of ex- 
 changes, and was sent as far as Boston and JSTew York. The 
 connected poem as it was published in 1909, years after his 
 death, was the result of much changing and amending, the last 
 copy having been made in the declining years of his life. He 
 did not add anything to it, but rearranged it somewhat, and took 
 out portions he considered too long. In its first connected form, 
 but very much smaller than at the time of its publication, it was 
 read at McKendree College, in Illinois, in 1868, and on that 
 occasion he received the Honorary Degree of Master of Arts. 
 He was already well known as a scholar all over the state. He 
 loved his poem of the Wahbeek, or "Boulder," as he at first 
 called it, and was fond of reading it to gatherings of his friends. 
 Once, by invitation, it was read to the assembled members of the 
 Constitutional Convention of Illinois, in 1870. He was a fine 
 reader and could deliver it in a style to make its beauties appre- 
 ciated. At such times it seemed to be a piece of music in which 
 the time and harmony were perfect. 
 
 He had only three children, the youngest of whom, Emma 
 M., died soon after her mother, or in February, 1865 ; this child 
 was born Aug. 16, 1864 (110), in Corydon, Ind., where his wife 
 died. She was a most beautiful and gifted woman, and during 
 their brief married life they were very happy. In her way she

 was as popular and successful as her husband, and a woman of 
 fine style and education ; a great loss to him. They were said to 
 resemble very much, and used to be mistaken for brother and 
 sister in traveling. (Elizabeth Emily Payne; m. June 20.

 He was a fine, tall, athletic boy, ambitious, studying law in the 
 office of his father's former partner, Mr. Ezekiel B. Sleeth. He 
 had more than the usual talent for the study, and was progressing 
 well, when he was suddenly stricken with typhoid fever and

 died after a short illness. He was a boy of noble character, very 
 unselfish, absolutely honest, with that honesty which is incapable 
 of the slightest deceit. He would have made a partner of his 
 father, and in his death all the father's plans were abandoned. 
 He never recovered from this loss, and was never the same again. 
 Henry was the hope of his old age, and his death broke his fa- 
 ther's heart. , 
 
 The only member of this family now living is the daughter, 
 Miss Henrietta Elizabeth Bromwell (108), who lives in Den- 
 ver, Colo. 
 
 The Denver Republican of Jan. 10, 1903, had the following editorial, 
 written by Judge Oliver B. Liddell: 
 
 "There will be a funeral in this city to-morrow of one of the most 
 distinguished citizens in the life of the state for more than thirty years. 
 
 "Enfeebled by ill health and age, and in retirement for nearly twenty 
 years, his abode among us has been largely lost sight of in the hustle, 
 tumult and commotion of a commercial age. 
 
 "To those who knew Judge Brornwell no enconium or eulogy is neces- 
 sary, for his attainments, nobility of character and splendid citizenship are 
 a joy to those who come within the charmed circle, and ought to be deeply 
 memorialized in the minds and lives of the younger generation; dying to- 
 wards the close of his eightieth year, his life exemplifies the noblest prod- 
 uct of our country in the last century. 
 
 "Drifting into the current of law his learning therein became of the 
 most proficient, and he rose to the plane of the best, with Lincoln, Baker, 
 Logan, Douglas and Palmer as his associates, eo-workers and friends. 
 Deeply versed in constitutional, statutory and common law, he added the 
 quality of statesmanship, and was called by his fellow citizens of Illinois 
 to represent them in Congress when in very truth 'the office sought the man.' 
 
 "What a sterling, worthy picture the character of this man presents 
 to us at this time, as we see the travesty, caricature and burlesque prac- 
 ticed of the 'office seeking the man.' Without guile, dissimulation or slight- 
 est deceit in public or private, he was a model servant of the people, ready 
 to make any sacrifice or perform any labor within his power in such service, 
 and the people of Illinois made him one of the builders of their constitu- 
 tion, and when the foundations of our state were laid he fitly became the 
 master builder of our constitution (and well would it be for our people if 
 his master hand could have followed and guided the many devious wander- 
 ings of its amendments added thereto). 
 
 "In private life and purity of character he was the ornament and 
 pride of his associates. In the order of Masonry to which he was at- 
 
THE BROMWBLL FAMILY. 69 
 
 tached he had more of its learning than any in our state, and his writings 
 therein voluminous. His productions as a poet are endowed with lofty senti- 
 ment, fine rythm, and creative imagination. 
 
 "Such a man he was, in truth and in fact, without overdrawn descrip- 
 tion or fulsome flattery, a, model in most things for young men, and a fine 
 study and copy for all. 
 
 "Fortunate was the friend who had his friendship and enjoyed close 
 communion with him as gentleman, lawyer, poet, scholar, philosopher and 
 statesman."

 RESOLUTIONS OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF COLORADO. 
 
 (1903.) 
 
THE BROMWELL FAMILY. 71 
 
 "Well, Mr. Buchanan is the nominee of the Party, and ours will be se- 
 lected next week, and I am of the opinion that Judge McLean will be that 
 man, though I may be. mistaken. I know him well, and, casting about, think 
 he is the most available man. His father was an Irishman from the Sod, 
 came in before the Revolution, was in the service with Washington for years. 
 His mother is of New Jersey, in which state he" was born, and moved to War- 
 ren Co., O., m very early day. His father's farm and that of my father were 
 one mile apart. I lived with him in 1810, went to school from his residence 
 in Lebanon that summer, previously went to school to him in our neighbor- 
 hood. They may take him from his youth up, and not a blemish to be found 
 in his character. A self-made man, as yourself, struggled to get his educa- 
 tion, etc. I hope you will accept the appointment as elector, and then we may 
 hope and expect a defeat in our District, as to Constable and Picklin. It will 
 place you in the high road to fame, and will enlist you in political life, for 
 which you have some slight inclination. It is a stormy life, and not the most 
 lucrative in a monied point of view, but you must yield, and undertake the 
 labor for the good of the cause. 
 
 "Mr. Chittenden introduced a Resolution requesting the President to 
 send out Gen. Scott to make peace in Kansas. I heard them in opposition to it 
 yesterday in Senate. They will vote it down. Afraid Scott will tell the tale 
 too strong on them, so Seward made a short speech in favor of it, a strong 
 appeal to them to settle the war and stop the effusion of blood, which they 
 will not do. 
 
 "Judge Butler holds forth today on Kansas matters. Mr. Douglas and 
 Trumbull cannot agree, and take a shot at each other occasionally. Trumbull 
 has courage, and will never yield to his colleague. 
 
 "You will please drop me a line how political matters are in your sec- 
 tion since Mr. Douglas failed to get the nomination. Is Alfred Kitchell out on 
 our side in the slavery question? I see Ben Bond has gone over to the enemy. 
 As near as I can learn, Mr. Allen will not be a candidate for re-election, and 
 Mr. A. Shaw will be the man. 
 
 I will know my fate about the 24th of this month, be retained or re- 
 turned home in quick time to my own private matters. 
 With respect I am, 
 
 Yours truly 
 
 W. B. ARCHER. 
 
 . LETTER OP COL. W. B. ARCHER, OP MARSHALL, ILL. 
 
 Washington, D. C. June 21, 1856. 
 "H. P. H. Bromwell : 
 
 "Dear Sir — The House as good as adjourned on the 29 th of May, a 
 goodly number of the party attending the Cincinnati Convention. Many on 
 our side went to the Philadelphia Convention, and have generally returned. 
 Nothing has been done in the House until yesterday. My case will come up 
 this week. On the 13th I went to New York on the subject of our road ; on 
 Saturday, 14th, saw Mr. Lanier and Winslow. They have not as yet settled 
 with contractors, but intend to do it. Mr. Smith was there ; did not see him ; 
 they were expecting Sanger et al. on there. The road will be made and com- 
 mence at each end, and work to the center ; my plan to haste the work and 
 conciliate the friends of the road, and this must be conceded. You have 
 learned that at Phila. we nominated Fremont and Dayton. I was the devoted 
 friend of Judge McLean; only 19 of our delegation for him; the balance for 
 Fremont. He is a man who cannot be warped from his own views or moved 
 from the position he takes by these nattering deceptive office seekers. He will 
 have made out the true character of Mr. Fremont and Dayton, and that of 
 Mr. Buchanan. In a short time you shall be furnished with all the docu- 
 ments you desire on each side to enable you to do up the work understand- 
 ing^. I started A. Lincoln for V. Pres. on the morning of the ISth, after 
 dark, and it took well. They, However, were committed to Dayton, who is a 
 first-class man, and, with his influence so near and intimate, the citizens of 
 the two states and Pennsylvania can be carried for Fremont. 
 
 "The contest will be warm not to the extent in our state as if Douglas 
 had -been nominated. His satellites in 111. must be deeply wounded. Con- 
 stable had thrown himself into his arms some time . since. Douglas is and 
 will be down ; laid on the shelf, despised by the high-minded and honorable 
 men of his party in the South and elsewhere. He was neglected — overlooked — 
 and P. Pierce, he, too, is — must be — a miserable man. A Whig meeting was 
 called here this evening. I attended, as did Mr. Staunton of our house ; James 
 Jones of Tenn., Senator, led off full of Are, etc., to organize over this land the 
 old Whig party. Some five or six hundred present, Democrats, Fremont, Fil- 
 
72 THE BEOMWELL FAMILY, 
 
 more men, etc. They ask extension from the 4th of July to the last Wednes- 
 day in July to meet in Louisville. Such bitterness I never saw. L. D. Camp- 
 bell was present ; came to look on ; did not intend to speak, but when ob- 
 served was called out, and stated that he had ever been a Whig, a Clay 
 Whig, was an American, belonged to the order which Jones abused. Well, sir, 
 a scene took place which I never expected to see, and it appeared to me that 
 violence must take place. Campbell is extension of slavery, and he spoke 
 fearlessly, though a motion was made to drag him down, a motion to move 
 to the City Hall, and at this moment all the lights in the house but one were 
 instantly put out and an attempt to put that last one out. We stood by 
 Campbell and went to the City Hall, and on the steps Campbell gave them his 
 views fearlessly, denouncing the administration. 
 
 "One man made at Campbell ; he was recognized as an agent of the 
 Post Office. 'Come on' says Campbell, shaking wickedly his neat small cane 
 at him. He was stopped by the crowd around him. Campbell spoke defiantly, 
 and as brave as Csesar. Warm and unpleasant will be the contest, but it 
 must be met, and we will succeed. Fremont and Dayton we will carry in our 
 state. Tou must take care of your health, and when furnished with all the 
 documents and evidence necessary — as you will be — in the style I named have 
 buggy and trunk moved over the district, and when commenced make a busi- 
 ness of it. Please write me, and how the current is setting. 
 
 Yours truly, 
 
 W. B. ARCHER. 
 
 A STORY OF THE LINCOLN CAMPAIGN. 
 
 Interview 'published in the Denver Tribune during 1880 (f). Pub- 
 lished by permission of Mr. Stapleton, Editor of the Denver Republican. 
 
 "It was during the last session of the Legislature that the interview 
 between George Alfred Townsend and Judge J. P. Usher concerning Presi- 
 dent Lincoln, whose Secretary of the Interior Mr. Usher was, was pub- 
 lished. 
 
 "It is interesting,'' said Judge Bromwell, speaking to a. Tribune re- 
 porter concerning the matter; "it is decidedly interesting, but it is incor- 
 rect." 
 
 Now, in the days of President Lincoln, Hon. H. P. H. Bromwell was 
 a prominent man in Illinois; indeed, in national politics; a member 
 of the same bar as Mr. Lincoln, politically of the same faith, he and the 
 Judge were naturally warm friends. Hence the reporter was disposed to 
 get Judge Bromwell to relate his version of the affair. But he was very 
 busy making laws, and although he told the reporter that he was present 
 on some of the occasions referred to, he declined to go into details. Yester- 
 day the patient reporter was rewarded. He met the Judge, and, finding 
 him comparatively at leisure, asked him about the Lincoln anecdote. "The 
 anecdote was that concerning a lawyer and a doctor," put in the reporter; 
 "you told me you were present, if I recollect.'' 
 
 "I was present, and know all about it; except I forget some of the 
 most laughable parts of the altercation between the lawyer and doctor re- 
 ferred to. If I could recollect every word I could not tell it as Mr. Lin- 
 coln could, and did. There is a sequel to the story, more interesting than 
 any part of it, which must go with it ; it concerns Mr. Lincoln directly in 
 the last days of his life. There is not now another person than myself 
 alive who knows all of both parts of this story. I will give you the facts 
 
THE BROMWELL FAMILY. 73 
 
 just as they happened, and you may be assured that every expression attrib- 
 uted to Mr. Lincoln is in the very words used by him, unless where I state 
 it to be otherwise." 
 
 "Late in September, 1856, Mr. Lincoln and I were on a trip together 
 speaking through the old Seventh Congressional District of Illinois. We 
 left Charleston, Coles County, about ten o'clock in the morning, on a 
 freight car on the Terre Haute and Alton Railroad to go to Grandview, a 
 small town about two miles from the railroad, in Edgar County, where a 
 township meeting was to be held at one o'clock that day. There were no 
 other passengers, as I can recollect, and we got off at Dudley, two miles 
 from Grandview, and went to dinner with R. B. Sutherland, who lived then 
 at the station, an old and leading citizen of Grandview, and one of the best 
 men of Edgar County. He is now "no more of earth," but he was one of 
 those men whom I cannot mention with indifference at any time. 
 
 "After dinner we went in a one-horse wagon with Mr Sutherland and 
 others to Grandview, where a platform had been built in a grove that was 
 fenced in, and the ground was covered with a rank growth of blue grass 
 nearly two feet high. The scenery around Grandview was worthy of the 
 name; the whole neighborhood presented a succession of undulations, the 
 summits covered with walnut groves, the trees being tall and straight 
 and just enough scattered to give all the beauty of mingled shade and sun- 
 shine, and the mellow autumn sunlight breaking through the wide-spread- 
 ing branches of the pensive-seeming walnut trees, bending with the weight 
 of their orange-like fruit, together with the wide and quiet landscape to- 
 ward the north, gave a wonderful air of repose to the whole scene. The 
 people assembled and sat down on the cushion of blue grass which filled 
 every square foot of the inclosure, and shortly after one o'clock the 
 speaking began. 
 
 "Mr. Lincoln was one of the Republican nominees for elector at large 
 on the Fremont ticket, and I was nominee on the same ticket for elector 
 for the district which involved Logan County, running seventy miles north 
 of Springfield, and Lawrence County, opposite Vincennes on the south. 
 
 What our chances were in that region may be inferred from the 
 numbers of each party present (it being a Republican meeting), which 
 were ninety Democrats and forty-six Fillmore men, or forty-six Democrats 
 and ninety Fillmore men, I forget which, and six Republicans. 
 
 "Although that may seem a slim showing for us, yet by comparison 
 it didn't seem so bad to me, for there were present five more Republicans 
 than I found in all Clay County, and six more than in Piatt County at 
 the beginning of the campaign. 
 
 "Mr. Lincoln spoke first, and made one of the most masterly speeches 
 of his life, and his jovial spirit seemed to fill the assembly, and there waa 
 not only universal good humor, but, from some cause, there grew up a re- 
 markable disposition to have some roaring fun. 
 
74 THE BEOMWELT. FAMILY. 
 
 Everybody was at ease and leisure; all had been to dinner, and to eat 
 dinner with the Edgar County people meant to get what the Frenchman 
 called 'a ver grand satisfye' of all the good things which a country produced 
 when it was constantly remarked that 'a man could work one day and live 
 on it six.' 
 
 "The lawyer and doctor mentioned by Mr. Usher were both there, 
 though not by appointment. The lawyer was Hon. J. P. Cooper, a Repub- 
 lican of Marshall, Clark County, formerly Democratic member of the Legis- 
 lature, and afterwards Judge of the County Court of Coles County; and 
 the doctor was Dr. A. G-oodale of Paris, then, as always, a devoted Demo- 
 crat. They were both men of remarkable fluency of speech, both excitable, 
 and each for certain peculiarities never had an equal that I ever saw. Each 
 for some reason had a special desire to get after the scalp of the other, and 
 each had come to make a speech if a chance could be had. Each was full 
 of wit and droll, comical expressions; but they were so different that if 
 either had been pitted against any man than the other, nothing extraordi- 
 nary would probably have happened. But the combination brought them 
 out. They were both restless while the appointed speakers were on the 
 stand, and just before Mr. Lincoln concluded, Dr. G. came and asked me if 
 we had any objections to his taking the stand. I said no, and went and 
 told Mr. Lincoln what he wanted, and he announced that the doctor would 
 speak. Judge Cooper, as it seems, did not expect that, was annoyed, and 
 came to me saying he wanted to speak. I mentioned this to Mr. Lincoln 
 and it was arranged that Cooper should follow the doctor. The crowd 
 cheered the announcement, and as soon as Mr. Lincoln concluded the doctor 
 mounted the stand, amid a roar of cheers, with his attention fixed on 
 Cooper, who was in front of the stand, and seemed to take to himself every- 
 thing the doctor had to say, and it was plain that each rejoiced in the 
 scalp of the other in advance. 
 
 "Among the doctor's peculiarities the most remarkable was his won- 
 derful stock and flow of words — words of all descriptions, but especially 
 those of the sciences, theology and metaphysics, besides his medical vocabu- 
 lary; he spoke fast and the crowd cheered, and as the cheering went on 
 increasing it became necessary for him to speak louder and louder in order 
 to be heard above the din, and as this excited him he went faster and 
 faster. He was witty, and made some remarkable hits, and as the cheering 
 went on he seemed to credit it all to that account, though the crowd en- 
 joyed a good deal more than that, in what was going on. 
 
 "Judge Cooper, who seemed to take the whole speech to himself, was 
 in front of the platform passing back and forward and gesticulating vio- 
 lently, and frequently making some retort at which the crowd shouted with 
 all its might, whereupon the doctor would start upon another flight of his 
 remarkable words, the crowd roaring until he was utterly drowned out by 
 noise, and he would stop for breath, and the screaming and laughing would 
 
THE BROMWELL FAMILY. 75 
 
 go on. As soon as it slacked the Judge cut in between them with some- 
 thing that set all going louder than ever, and the next lull the doctor, 
 with fresh breath and a new supply of his curious words and wit, took all 
 by storm. 
 
 "Now, Judge C. was short and fleshy, and, being lame in one hip, 
 used a very stout cane, which he flourished much in speaking, and as he 
 moved back and forth in front of the stand, and the doctor on the platform 
 chassed from one end of it to the other, each letting fly at the other in his 
 peculiar way, and the people rolling and sprawling in the blue grass and 
 roaring, and the noise increasing every moment, it soon became a question 
 of time, or rather endurance on the doctor's part, how long before he must 
 yield the platform, and Cooper take his place. 
 
 "The doctor held the stand an hour, when he closed, utterly out of 
 breath. Everyone jumped up and shouted for about five minutes, until the 
 noise could have been heard a mile at least. Cooper was instantly on the 
 platform, and as soon as he could be heard, went for the doctor, who was 
 now in front and moving back and forth, every minute making some 
 repartee, until it became a regular set-to between them. 
 
 "I lay on the grass, and at times leaned against the trunk of a, 
 walnut tree, about seven feet from the right hand corner of the platform. 
 Mr. Lincoln lay at full length, with his feet at the same corner, and his 
 head supported at times on his hand, his elbow on the ground. Sometimes 
 he moved around and cracked a. joke with somebody else. He remembered 
 all the strange, witty or ludicrous things that were uttered by either 
 party, or by the audience; but I have forgotten most of them. I recollect, 
 however, that Cooper was descanting on the fact that, just at the time of 
 sueh momentous movements in the political world, this doctor should make 
 his appearance among men, and, in addition to that, should have a vision 
 and see the obsolete things of all dictionaries in every language, and noth- 
 ing that the people wanted to know. 
 
 " "That's more than any lawyer around here has seen lately,' shouted 
 the doctor; 'a vision of anything homogeneous with a dictionary would 
 throw their whole system into spasms.' 
 
 " 'If a lawyer or anybody else should take spasms, or get foundered 
 on any kind of valuable knowledge,' said Cooper, 'a Democratic speech 
 would work it all out of him in time to save life.' 
 
 "And so they went on. All questions concerning the Nebraska bill, 
 Missouri compromise and slavery were lost sight of in the contest of out- 
 witting each other. Each was several times on the platform, and some- 
 times both, the crowd shouting, 'Go it, Pill-bags,' 'Go it, Lawyer,' 'Stick 
 to him, Doctor,' etc., hats flying twenty feet high in the air, some standing, 
 some rolling in the grass, and all in a roar of laughter. 
 
 At one time the Judge let off a hit at the Doctor, and he replied with 
 a short, 'That's not so; that's a lie!' 
 
76 THE BEOMWELL FAMILY. 
 
 "'You say that's a lie, do you?' screamed Cooper; Veil, Doctor, I'll 
 take that off of you; I'll take anything in the world from you, but for 
 God's sake don't give me any of your pills!' 
 
 "I've got no pill that would help your case; I don't treat delirium,' 
 said the Doctor; 'I'll let you know that I am not practicing medicine at 
 all now!' 
 
 '"You don't practice medicine any more, you say?' shouted Cooper'; 
 'my God, the country is safer than I had supposed.' 
 
 "And so it went on, from four o'clock until just as the sun set, when 
 the speakers subsided from sheer exhaustion, and the crowd began to stir 
 around and separate; but the cheering and laughter did not slacken. On 
 every road that they went you could hear them more than a mile off, making 
 the woods ring. Mr. Lincoln had laughed till he was worn out. Several 
 who were near us found it impossible to stop. For my part, it was the first 
 and only time in my life that I laughed till I became alarmed; but the 
 fact was, it produced a kind of spasm through the chest and body, which 
 did not pass off for several hours. 
 
 "We rode back to Mr. Sutherland's and nobody thought of going to 
 bed before midnight; yet even then the laughter would break out some- 
 where about the house, and all hands would join in, and so it went on for 
 hours. 
 
 "The next morning we separated, and I saw Mr. Lincoln no more, till 
 we met at Atlanta, Logan County. 
 
 "Well, what was the other part of the story?" 
 
 "Nearly nine years after, in the last days of March, 1865, I was at 
 Washington, and went with Judge James Steel, then chief clerk of the 
 Land division of the Indian Bureau, to call on Mr. Lincoln. We found him 
 writing a letter at a long table. Governor Yates and Delegate Burleigh of 
 Dacotah were in an adjoining room and came in. Mr. Lincoln asked us all 
 to excuse him till he should finish the letter. Before he had finished writ- 
 ing, the door opened and Mr. Seward came in with a portfolio under his 
 arm, and advanced to the opposite side of the table. As he did so Mr. 
 Lincoln spoke out in a loud, ringing tone: 
 
 '"Good morning, Mr. Secretary; I was just writing a letter to send 
 to you, but as you are here now I will give it to you myself,' and with 
 that he said it made him think of a story about a lawyer up in one of the 
 northern counties of Illinois, who wrote a letter to the Judge while the 
 Court was in session, because the Judge would not allow him to speak fur- 
 ther in the case. 
 
 "After he had told the story he introduced me to Mr. Seward, and 
 said, 'This is the man who was with me at Grandview the time I told you 
 of, when we had so much fun.' Then he said to Governor Yates, 'You never 
 heard that story, did you?' The Governor said he had not. Thereupon 
 
THE BROMWELL FAMILY. 77 
 
 Mr. Seward said to Governor Yates that he must hear it, and Mr. Lincoln 
 began to tell it with all the particulars. 
 
 "The table was a long one, standing about six feet from the fireplace, 
 and in one corner of the room stood a long hickory cane, with the bark on. 
 It was about four feet long. As he began to describe the performances at 
 Grandview, he stepped to the corner, took that long staff, and came round 
 on the side of the table farthest from the fire, and, flourishing the cane, and 
 limping as though with a lame hip as he used it, he went backward and 
 forward before the table, imitating Judge Cooper in action and voice; 
 then laying the cane on the table he would give the Doctor's part, and so 
 on, the room in a roar of laughter. 
 
 "Governor Yates, Judge Steel and I knew Judge Cooper, who was very 
 short and fleshy, with a white head, and here was Mr. Lincoln, over six 
 feet high, slender and straight, with a, cane far too long even for him, 
 showing off a man of such opposite form and likeness, which made the 
 whole thing ten times more laughable than otherwise. 
 
 "Just as he had repeated the words of Cooper, 'Then the country is 
 safer than I had supposed, and was whirling around the corner of the 
 table, with the cane against his right hip — Secretary Seward, Governor 
 Yates and all the rest convulsed with laughter — the door opened and in 
 came the usher, saying: 
 
 " 'Mr. President, that soldier is out there waiting to see you again. 
 He wants to know when you will see him.' Mr. Lincoln said: 
 
 " 'Tell him I can't see him any more about that matter. I've seen 
 him as many times as I can.' And, turning toward the rest of us, he con- 
 tinued: 'I wish that man would let me alone; I've seen him again and 
 again, and I've done everything for him that I can, and he knows it 
 just as well as I do; and I've told him over and over, and he ought to let 
 me alone, but he won't stop following me up. He knows I can't do anything 
 more for him. I declare if he don't let me alone, I'll tell him, as I did a 
 fellow the other day, that I'll undo what I have done for him.' The usher 
 withdrew, and Mr. Lincoln went on, saying, 'There is no end of these cases 
 of people that come to see me for something or other that nobody else can 
 do for them. I do everything I can for them, but I can't do everything; 
 and some of them are so unreasonable about it they won't let me off after 
 I've talked it over with them time after time. It seems to me sometimes 
 they will wear the very life out of me; but then all of these matters are 
 nothing to these cases of life and death, and there are so many of them, 
 "and they all fall on me. I reckon there never was a, man raised in the 
 country on a farm, where they are always butchering cattle and hogs, and 
 think nothing of it, that ever grew up with such an aversion to bloodshed 
 as I have; and yet I've had more questions of life and death to settle in 
 four years than all the men who ever sat in this chair put together. But 
 I've managed to get along and do my duty, as I believe, and still save 
 
78 THE BROMWELL FAMILY. 
 
 most of them ; and there's no man knows the distress of my mind. But 
 there have been some of them I couldn't save — there are some cases where 
 the law must be executed. There was that man , who was sen- 
 tenced for piracy and slave trading on the high seas. That was a case 
 where there must be an example, and you don't know how they followed 
 and pressed to get him pardoned, or his sentence commuted; but there was 
 no use of talking. It had to be done. I couldn't help him, and then there 
 
 was that , who was caught spying and recruiting within Pope's 
 
 lines in Missouri. That was another case. They besieged me day and 
 night, but I couldn't give way. We had come to a, point where something 
 must be done that would put a stop to such work. And then there was this 
 case of Beal on the lakes. That was a case where there must be an exam- 
 ple. They tried me every way. They wouldn't give up ; but I had to stand 
 firm on that, and I even had to turn away his poor sister, when she came 
 and begged for his life, and let him be executed, and he was executed, and 
 I can't get the distress out of my mind yet.' 
 
 "As he uttered these words the tears ran down his cheeks, and I not 
 only saw them, but saw them drop one by one on the floor. (He was then 
 sitting within five feet of me.) 
 
 "There was not a dry eye in the room, but the most profound silence, 
 until we all, except Mr. Seward, rose to depart. Mr. Lincoln followed us 
 to the door; we shook hands with feelings not to be described. To me it 
 was the last grasp of the hand, and the last sound of the voice of Abraham 
 Lincoln. In less than three weeks the telgraphing instruments were an- 
 nouncing at every station throughout the civilized world the unspeakable 
 crime of his assassination."

 to John Wesley Cook, the wedding taking place at "Camp Meet- 
 ing" (Rev. Mr. Palmer officiating). She had been brought to 
 Illinois when a child of six years, and was educated at home by 
 her father and sister Henrietta, and was always of a most refined 
 and almost angelic disposition; a more absolutely unselfish na- 
 ture was never created ; she was all affection, not only for her 
 own but for all persons, giving of what she had and having no 
 doubt or suspicion of any living creature, but believing all to 
 be spotless and good. In youth she was fresh and attractive,

 with brown eyes and hair, and red cheeks and good health. She 
 was always modest, not very ambitious, except to do good and 
 have affection, of which she never seemed to find enough. Her 
 husband was a very unusual character, very positive, witty, fond 
 of anecdotes, and able to occupy the center of the stage at all

 times and keep any number of persons convulsed by his sallies 
 of humor. He was kind-hearted, and placed very little value on 
 praclical things, enjoying himself hugely with his many retain- 
 ers (for many always lived off his bounty), and he was never 
 so happy as at those times when the crowd would be thick and 
 much applause paid him for the entertainments which persons 
 so freely accepted from him. He carried on a nursery in Cum- 
 berland, and when the California excitement was great, in 1852, 
 took a voyage to that state, taking with him considerable nursery 
 stock, grapes, peach trees, etc. Here he spent six years, while

 his family lived with his wife's brother. He returned in 1858 
 and again embarked in horticulture in Casey, but became pos- 
 sessed with a desire for change in 1870 and removed to Colo., 
 where he settled down upon a ranch and did not make any fur- 
 ther move, and had the first grapes and apples ever raised in the 
 vicinity of Denver; he was fond of experiments, and liked to 
 breed new varieties, and had a watermelon which he thought 
 the finest ever bred, but which has not survived ; it disappeared 
 even during his lifetime, and he always used it as an illustration 
 of the human race, saying that people were like watermelons and 
 should not- be planted next to pumpkins, as the next generation 
 would be "some pumpkins," and the one after that woidd be 
 "all pumpkins."

 One of the stories told by him illustrates his dramatic abilities ; he went 
 at one time to Nebraska, intending to "break that country to fruit," taking 
 with him, as usual, a large amount of nursery stock ; nothing was heard from 
 him for some time, no letters, and the family left in Cumberland became very 
 uneasy ; inquiries were sent out, but nothing resulted ; at last, as they had 
 about given up hope of hearing from him, he walked in one day, looking 
 happy and pleased, and full of interest in Cumberland and vicinty. "Why, 
 little ones," he said, "I wouldn't stay in Nebraska if you could get somebody 
 to give me the whole state set in peaches. When I first passed through there 
 I thought it was some windy, but supposed it would stop. I noticed a shock 
 of corn blown up in the gable of a barn ; it seemed to stay there without dan- 
 ger of falling; the heifers under it stood with their noses pointed upward; 
 three months later, coming back, I passed the place and the same shock of 
 corn was still. there, and the heifers, too, in the same position, only they had 
 grown some."

 of Court in Easton, Talbot Co., Md. Jeremiah also' had a 
 brother, Jacob Bromwell, who was living in 1807, and had by a 
 second wife sons John, Jeremiah, Jacob, and possibly others. 
 The Rev. Jacob Lowe Bromwell was an orphan by the death of 
 his mother at 7 years of age; his father d. when he was 15 years 
 old ; his ivncle Jacob was made his guardian ; he entered the min- 
 istry of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and joined the band of 
 traveling ministers, preaching through the pioneer settlements of 
 Va. and Ind. ; for 40 years he was a member of the Baltimore 
 Conference, and could remember when the old building on Light 
 St., Bait., would hold all the ministers of the Conference. His 
 work was very difficult, and obstacles almost at times insur- 
 mountable. 
 
 He was converted in early life in Baltimore, and was 
 licensed to exhort by Rev. Henry Boehm, Presiding Elder in 
 Talbot Co., at the quarterly meeting at Trappe, May 10, 1815. 
 His first license to preach was given by Bev. Jacob Gruber, Pre- 
 siding Elder, dated June 15, 1816 ; he was ordained Deacon by 
 Bishop R. R. Roberts in Bait., March 14, 1819, and Elder by 
 Bishop Enoch George, Sept. 23, 1821, in Lexington, Ky. ; in 
 1817 he was admitted to trial in the Baltimore Conference, and 
 appointed to Huntington Circuit, Carlisle District, and in 1818 
 to the Pendleton Circuit, Greenbriar District; in 1819 to the 
 Greeubriar Circuit, and in 1820 to the Monroe Circuit, in the 
 same District. In 1822 he was sent to the Lancaster Circuit, 
 Potomac District; in 1823-4 to Berkeley Circuit, and in 1825 to 
 Botetourt Circuit, Winchester District; in 1826 he was superan- 
 nuated on account of an affection of the throat, but became effect-

 ive again in 1829, and was sent to the Greenbriar Circuit and 
 Rockingham Circuit; he was again superannuated in 1830, and 
 sustained the relation until death. He came to Indiana in 1831 
 and entered land in Morgan Co., where he d. His dau. Mary 
 S. now lives on a part of this old estate. When he came to Ind. 
 the country was a wilderness, and he commenced his labors as 
 he was able, preaching in cabins, log schoolhouses and in the 
 woods as opportunity offered, and preaching funerals all over the 
 range of country where he lived. He became the founder of a 
 uumber of societies, and especially of Shiloh and Salem 
 churches ; although a superannuate for forty years, he did good 
 service for the church in the country around him. He was 
 Justice of the Peace also most of this time. He was ill only a 
 short time when he died at the age of 79 years, and the fifty- 
 fourth of his ministry. His Conference was in session in Balti- 
 more at this time. 
 
 He did not know the precise degree of his relationship to 
 William Bromwell (No. 10, p. 20), but thought himself to be a 
 great-nephew. He said he had a great-uncle in Md., on the East- 
 ern Shore, who had a grist mill, and also a line of ferryboats, 
 and had SO' fine a voice that it could be heard across the river 
 when he would call his ferryman, "Stanley."

 <b) JOHN BRUNNEMKR BROMWELL. b. Dec. 16, 1833, in Johnson 
 Co., Ind. In the autumn of 1861 he volunteered and entered the army 
 ( Company E, 26th Reg. Ind. Vols. ) , and was engaged in chasing Price. 
 Was in the Battle of Prairie Grove when the bullets were flying 
 thickly about him, cutting off twigs above his head, but never touch- 
 ing him. He was taken prisoner at Morganza, and marched to Tyler 
 and guarded with other prisoners in an open place. His fare was 
 rough. One pint of meal, unsifted, and a small piece of blue beef. 
 After about two weeks he tried to devise means to escape. He could 
 not get any of his company to join him, but three members of an- 
 other company intended to go, and he determined to go with them. 
 In some way their other companions attracted the attention of the

 guard on his beat, when they went out on hands and feet, expecting 
 at any moment to hear the guns go oft". 
 
 They soon f ound themselves among the pines, and as the wind was 
 blowing quite hard, thought the hounds were after them, and made 
 fast time in flight. But they were taken up by the conscript catch- 
 ers, and carried along with them, and once more made an escape. 
 Being very hungry they stopped at a house to get something to eat, 
 and a, negro betrayed them. They were again taken, but escaped a 
 third time, and then ran into the Rebel picket lines, were caught, 
 and carried away to Shreveport, where they were put into a log jail. 
 John, on looking about him, saw a crack in the walls of the build- 
 ing, and with a dull piece of iron he worked at this until he made 
 an opening, through which he could pass, and for the last time re- 
 leased himself, and later, after severe suffering, reached the Union 
 lines. 
 
 His feet were worn out, so that the toe nails came off. After reach- 
 ing home he seemed at first to be doing well, but took erysipelas and d. 
 Jan. 7, 1865, and was buried with the honors of war on Jan. 8th.

 spected. During the Civil War he lived in Richmond, where he 
 was Secretary to Judah P. Benjamin, the Secretary of State of 
 the Confederacy. He is said to have been of very great talents 
 in every way, and remarkably handsome also. He m. Oct. 24, 
 1860, Alice, dau. of Capt. Otmay H. Berryman, of the U. S. 
 Navy, of a family which lived in Winchester, Va., before the 
 war. The first soundings for the Atlantic cable were made by 
 Capt. Berryman, who commanded at that time the IT. S. brig. 
 Dolphin* He was a most loyal and noble officer, considered of 
 great value to the Union, and if the story could be told of the 
 courtship of his child by the Secretary of the principal Cabinet 
 officer of the Confederacy no doubt it would be a romantic one.

 dau.), Wash., D. C. 
 
 *Note — In Henry Field's book, "The Story of the Atlantic Telegraph," 
 he gives a very interesting account of the labors of Berryman, both in the 
 matter of making the soundings for the cable, a daring undertaking, and in 
 his unselfish and brave work for the Union, when he rendered so much assist- 
 ance to the cause. Field styles him "This gallant officer who did such service 
 to science and to his country." He died soon after the war. William J. Brom- 
 well, above, said that the name of Bromwell was Welsh, and had been at 
 one time Bromwellyn.

 DOROTHEA. 
 THE BIRD THAT SANG IN MAY. 
 
 BY WILLIAM J. BROMWELL. 
 
 A bird last spring came to my window shutter, 
 One lovely morning at the break of day, 
 
 And from his little throat did sweetly utter 
 A most melodious lay. 
 
 He had no language for his joyous passion, 
 No solemn measure nor artistic rhyme; 
 
 Yet no devoted minstrel e'er did fashion 
 Such perfect tune and time. 
 
 It seemed of thousand joys a thousand stories, 
 All gushing forth in one tumultuous tide; 
 
 A hallelujah for the morning glories 
 That bloomed on every side. 
 
 And with each canticle's voluptuous ending, 
 He sipped a dew-drop from the dripping pane; 
 
 Then, heavenward his little bill extending, 
 Broke forth in song again. 
 
 I thought to emulate his wild emotion, 
 
 And learn thanksgiving from his tuneful tongue; 
 
 But human heart ne'er uttered such devotion, 
 No human lip such song. 
 
94 THE BROMWELL FAMILY. 
 
 At length he flew and left me in my sorrow, 
 Lest I should hear those tender notes no more, 
 
 And though I early waked for him each morning, 
 He came not nigh my door. 
 
 But once again, one silent summer even, 
 
 I met him hopping in the new-mown hay; 
 But he was mute and looked not up to heaven, 
 
 The bird that sang in May. 
 
 Though now I hear from dawn to twilight hour 
 
 The hoarse wood-pecker and the noisy jay, 
 In vain I seek through leafless grove and bower, 
 
 The bird that sang in May. 
 
 And such, methinks, are childhood's dawning pleasures; 
 
 They charm a moment, and then fly away; 
 Through life we sigh, and seek those missing treasures, 
 
 The birds that sang in May. 
 
 This little lesson, then, my heart remember, 
 
 To seize each bright-winged blessing in its day, 
 
 And never hope to hear in cold December, 
 The bird that sang in May. 
 
 The following is appended to a reprint of this poem, made many 
 years ago in a Maryland paper (clipping date unknown) : 
 
 "This beautiful poem was written by Mr. William Bromweli, a 
 native of Trappe, and resident until the period of his early manhood. 
 While employed as tutor in the Lloyd family of this county, he met the 
 noted Judah P. Benjamin, who was then Senator from Louisiana and 
 who afterward became Attorney General of the Confederacy. Mr. Brom- 
 well's ability attracted the attention of this brilliant lawyer and states- 
 man, through whose influence he was employed by the government at Wash- 
 ington, and later by the Confederate government in Richmond. It was in 
 Washington that this poem was written, and it was published in Harper's 
 Magazine of June, 1857. 
 
 "After the close of the Civil War, Mr. Bromweli, having studied law, 
 accompanied Mr. Benjamin to London, where they made their residence, the 
 latter winning favor and distinction at the bar, but Mr. Bromweli only 
 lived a few years longer. A widow and two daughters survived him, and 
 they returned to their early home in Virginia. Many of the older residents 
 here were well acquainted with this gentleman of talent, and he was a 
 brother to the mother of Mr. H. E. Mullikin."

 Ancestors Names in Capitals and Italics. 
 
 (1) EEV. JOHN HOLMES, b. prob. in Eng. ; thought 
 by Vinton to be the son of William of Marshfield, one of the 
 "Conihasset Planters," a company of 26 colonists who purchased 
 the land near Scituate, and operated it after the manner of a 
 modern corporation. William was Freeman of Plymouth Col- 
 ony in 1658, and in Scituate 1641, later removing to Marshfield. 
 He was identified with the Colonial wars. His son John studied 
 at Harvard College, and became Pastor of the Church at Dux- 
 bury, and m. Mary, dau. of John Wood, or Atwood of Plymouth ; 
 m. 1661. The Rev. John Holmes d. Dec. 24, 1675, 3 years be- 
 fore his father; his will is dated Dec. 16, 1675; he describes 
 himself as "teacher of the Church of Christ at Duxbury," gives 
 to his eldest son Joseph "all my Latin and Greek books;" 
 gives to his wife Mary, "all my houses and lands in Duxburrow. 
 with all my moveables excepting, etc." His widow Mary after- 
 ward remarried to Major William Bradford, son of Gov. Wil- 
 liam Bradford. She was a grand-daughter, on her mother's side, 
 of Richard Masterson, who never came to the Colonies, but who 
 remained in Leyden for twenty years after the sailing of the 
 Mayflower, the Ruling Elder and leader of the remnant of the 
 flock who did not leave Holland. 
 
 Rev. John Holmes and Mary had with other issue : 
 
 (2) JOSEPH HOLMES, b. July 9, 1665, Duxbury; 
 d. Kingston, June 26, 1753. He established an iron manufac- 
 
104 THE HOLMES FAMILY. 
 
 taring business in Kingston, on Jones River, which later grew to 
 large proportions, and has been carried on by a number of gen- 
 erations of his descendants. His grandson, or great-grandson, 
 George Bass Holmes, became a noted iron manufacturer, and 
 was promoter of the first cotton mill to be operated by steam in 
 Massachusetts. Joseph, our ancestor, m., 1st Sarah Spragne; 
 nothing authentic known of their son John. His second wife 
 was Mary Brewster, our ancestor, b. Kingston, Feb. 10, 1678-9, 
 and d. April 17, 1761, aged 82 years. She was dau. of Wrest- 
 ling, son of Love, son of Elder William Brewster, the spiritual 
 leader and guide of the Pilgrims both in Plymouth and Holland, 
 who was b. at Scrooby Manor-House, Nottinghamshire, Eng., a 
 place already made famous as the house where Cardinal Woolsey 
 stopped after being banished from public life by Henry VIII. 
 Brewster was Assistant Secretary to Davidson, Secretary to 
 Queen Elizabeth, but abandoned public life on Davidson's down- 
 fall, and, becoming converted to Puritanism, went to Leyden 
 with the earliest of the Pilgrims, who left England in search of 
 religious freedom, and there supported himself by teaching Eng- 
 lish and Latin in the University. His chil. were William, Pa- 
 tience, who came in the "Anne," and was later the 2d wife of 
 Gov. Thomas Prence; Fear, who was the 2d wife of Isaac Al- 
 lerton; Wrestling (d. unmar.), and Love (came in the May- 
 flower), m. Sarah Collier, dau. of William Collier, merchant of 
 London, one of the promoters in a financial way of the Mayflower 
 expedition, and who cast in his lot with the Pilgrims, removing 
 to the Colony, where he was assistant for 28 years, and one of the 
 first plenip. at the first meeting of the Congress of the United 
 Colonies (1643); d. 1670; was one of the first purchasers at 
 Dartmouth. Mary and Joseph lived at "Brewster Place," King- 
 ston. 
 
 Joseph Holmes had {with other issue) by Mary Brewster: 
 
 (3) JOSEPH HOLMES, b. Oct, 4, 1696 ; m. May 20, 
 
 1731, Rebecca, dan. of Robt. Waterman. She was born Oct. 9, 
 
THE HOLMES FAMILY. 105 
 
 1710, her mother heing Mary Cushman, dau. of the Rev. Isaac 
 Cushman, first pastor of the first church at Plympton, dying on 
 Oct. 22, 1732, in the eighty-fourth year of his age, and the thir- 
 ty-seventh of his ministry; he was described as "that eminent 
 and faithful steward and servant of Christ." His father was 
 the noted Elder Thomas Cushman. who came in the Fortune, 
 and preached the first sermon ever printed in America. He is 
 buried on Burial Hill, Plymouth, where his descendants have 
 erected a monument. He was styled "that faithful Servant of 
 the Lord." He was son of Robert Cushman, the business agent 
 of the Pilgrims in London, who rented the ship for them, and 
 otherwise managed the financial part of the enterprise of the 
 expedition from Leyden of those who came to the new world. 
 The mother of our ancestor, Rev. Isaac Cushman, was Mary Al- 
 lerton, who came in the Mayflower with her father Mr. Isaac 
 Allerton; he had m. in the exile in Leyden Mary N orris of New- 
 bury, Eng. He was b. in Eng. between 1583 and 1585, and m. 
 in 1611, Nov. 4. His second wife was Fear, dau. of Elder Wil- 
 liam Brewster. Allerton was the wealthiest of all the Pilgrims ; 
 he was the fifth signer of the Compact. Mary Allerton was the 
 last survivor of the Pilgrims. 
 
 Joseph Holmes had (with other issue) by Rebecca Water- 
 man: 
 
 (4) JOSEPH HOLMES, b. Oct. 20, 1733, Kingston ; 
 m. Nov. 29, 1770, Jemima, dau. of John, son of Francis, son of 
 Richard Adams, who came from Eng. and was killed by Indians 
 in his efforts to effect a settlement on a tract of twelve thousand 
 acres of land in New Hampshire, he having the intention to 
 colonize it with English colonists. He was engaged in the work 
 of making the preliminary survey when killed. Joseph Holmes 
 and Jemima had the following children : 
 
 5 LEMUEL HOLMES, b. Oct. 15, 1771; m. Patience, dau. of Capt. 
 Zephaniah Harlow. They had issue:

 The Descendants of Lemuel. 
 
 (Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, Rev. John. William, I.) 
 
 (1) LEMUEL HOLMES, b. in Plymouth Co., Mass., Oct. 
 15, 1771 ; d. in Cumberland, Clark Co., 111., Aug. 21, 1847 ; m. in 
 1794 in Plymouth, to Patience Harlow, dau. of Captain Zepha- 
 niah Harlow, whose wife was Patience Johnson. The descent 
 of Patience Harlow can be found in Davis' Landmarks of Plym- 
 outh, in N. Eng. Oen. Reg., in Savage, and other well known 
 authorities. 
 
 Lemuel and Patience are buried in Illinois, in a little neg- 
 lected burying ground in what is now Casey, but was formerly 
 Cumberland, a town that has disappeared. She died in 1849. 
 During their last few years they were cared for by their daugh- 
 ter Henrietta (Mrs. Bromwell), who was very much devoted to 
 them. There has been two portraits of Lemuel, both painted in 
 oil ; one was ordered painted by his Masonic Lodge (in Newbern, 
 1ST. O), to which he had given a set of fine china, brought back 
 from one of his oriental trips. Correspondence with the officers 
 of this Lodge has failed to trace any record of this picture, 
 which seems to have disappeared. It was said to have been of 
 full length, and life-size. It must have hung in the Lodge halls 
 a long time, but since that period a hundred years have passed, 
 and it is gone. The other portrait, which is here reproduced, 
 was painted also in oil, and is still in possession of the family. 
 The artists of both portraits are unknown. 
 
 Patience was born March 5, 1775, in Plymouth, probably 
 
THE HOLMES FAMILY. 107 
 
 in Summer St., as there seems to have been an old house there, 
 owned at that time by Zephaniah Harlow. Lemuel was born at a 
 country place called by the family "Egypt," because they 
 brought corn from it and shipped it to other places along the 
 coast in their boats. The house at Egypt was two-storied, 
 shingled all over, with ten rooms, and wide doors and fireplaces. 
 It was burned about 1870. Some lilac bushes marked the spot 
 for many years afterward, and may still be seen growing by the 
 cellar, which is all that remains of the old home, so long the 
 abode of this generous family. 
 
 In personal appearance Lemuel Holmes was light in com- 
 plexion, with very bright gray eyes, and light brown hair, and a 
 most cheerful and amiable expression, which reflected an opti- 
 mistic and loving disposition, and a regard for the rights and 
 feelings of others which was most unusual. He was of medium 
 height, rather slender, with broad shoulders, had a finely-shaped 
 hand and foot, and was very erect in his carriage, and although 
 sprightly, was dignified, and commanded the respect of all who 
 had any relations with him either in business or society. He 
 was of a fearless mould, could make "ventures" which seemed 
 very hazardous, and when he met with reverses, as he several 
 times did, was never overcome with disappointment, but could 
 go again into still more difficult enterprises. During the war 
 with Great Britain in 1812 he many times "ran the blockade," 
 bringing through the British lines cargoes and ships into port 
 when it seemed to be impossible to do so. He was for years a 
 very successful shipping merchant, doing business along the 
 coast between Kingston, North Carolina, New Orleans and other 
 points, sometimes having twenty and thirty vessels, many of 
 them quite large, engaged in the trade. He would visit a local- 
 ity, taking with him a cargo of goods from some other point, 
 would trade it, load up with some other kind of goods, then make 
 another point, and finally after many trades would come back to 
 Plymouth with a snug little fortune. He had several ships out

 mi the water at the time the < 'ongress laid an embargo on Ameri- 
 can shipping, and his boats could not enter the ports, and were 
 most of them captured and sunk- by the British. This loss he 
 bore with fortitude, however, and made renewed efforts, which 
 
 MALVIXA HOLMES IN 184(1. 
 
 were more or less successful. Only in his old age, when his 
 powers were imi so great did he decline in his business sagacity, 
 and make some investments which met with failure. 
 
 lie came West to engage in the river trade between Xew 
 Orleans and Cincinnati and other places on the Mississippi and 
 
THE HOLMES FAMILY. 109 
 
 Ohio Kivers. He spent a number of years in this business, and 
 had river boats constructed with which to carry on the trade. 
 
 In New England, his family remaining in Plymouth Co., 
 are among the wealthiest and best-known people in the place. 
 The descendants of his brother Joseph {Brown Univ. graduate, 
 1796), still own the old house where he lived after he was mar- 
 ried. It is a fine old mansion, with a wonderful wall paper 
 (on the walls of the parlor), which was brought from Europe 
 in some of the old ships. The effects in this paper are of Ital- 
 ian landscape and architecture, against a background of blue 
 sky, with figures in costume of the period of the empire ; none 
 of the composition is repeated, but makes a continuous picture 
 all around the room. 
 
 Some old elms are at the back of this house, and across 
 the street is the ancient burying ground, with its black-green 
 cypress trees and slabs of Welsh slate. The charm of this old 
 cemetery is unusual ; around it stretch away the dense "Ply- 
 mouth Woods," and opening into the town nearby are many em- 
 bowered lanes and walks of great beauty. The three children 
 of Lemuel and Patience were born in Kingston. Henrietta was 
 born in the old Francis Adams house, near the river.

 (2) HENRIETTA HOLMES. Lived in her childhood 
 in Kingston, except for occasional trips with her father on his 
 boats to places down the coast not very far away from home. At 
 14 years of age she was sent to Bath, Me., to attend the academy 
 there, and to be with her Aunt Eliza Morse, whom she loved 
 
110 THE HOLMES FAMILY. 
 
 very dearly, and who was one of the strong, good and brainy 
 women of her time. Her situation with this aunt was most 
 happy, and she formed some friendships, one with John Neal, 
 and also with his sister Rachel, both afterward celebrated in 
 different ways, she as a teacher and he as a writer. In the acad- 
 emy she had instruction in dancing, for, while her family were 
 very pious people, they always taught that art to the children. 
 Her other studies were history, English literature, and what 
 would now be called elocution, or the art of reading with expres- 
 sion and effect, in which she became very clever, being assisted 
 by a natural genius in this direction. For music she had no 
 "ear," and could not sing anything, but she enjoyed it seemingly 
 as much as other persons. She was a little blonde, and only 
 weighed 90 pounds, and had light grey eyes, with the innocent 
 expression of a kitten ; but she had a very firm and determined 
 will to always have her way, and never failed to do so. She 
 became well educated for her time, always read the best mas- 
 ters, had no desire to embroider or make quilts at a time when 
 these arts were most practiced by women, never was known to 
 gossip, and thought the Holmes, Harlow, Morse:, Brewster, Cush- 
 man, Warren and other Plymouth Co. families the only ones 
 having the real quality. 
 
 She used to say that her family descended from the Duke 
 of Clarence, and when any one would express doubt would be- 
 come very indignant. She did not seem to know in what way 
 the descent was derived, but had a knowledge of many of her 
 ancestral lines, which a search of the books has proved to be 
 correct, 
 
 Her desire for change of scene was uncontrollable, derived 
 from sea-roving ancestors. Never was she contented long in one 
 place, and it was owing to this disposition that after her mar- 
 riage she kept the family moving until they arrived in Colorado 
 and declined to go further. Here she died Jan. 7, 1882. 
 
 Her marriage to Henry Broughton Bromwell took place

112 THE HOLMES FAMILY. 
 
 Aug. 18, 1818, in Baltimore, Md., where her mother took her 
 to visit some cousins. Here she met her fate, and never after- 
 ward returned to her beloved Plymouth, which was a constant 
 source of mourning and lamentation all her life long. She was 
 most eloquent, her powers of expression inexhaustible. Her wed- 
 ding was made the occasion of a large party, and she wore a 
 white canton crepe dress which her father had brought her from 
 one of his trips to China, and the family still have her wedding 
 slippers of white satin, and the silk stockings and garters, and 
 silver garter buckles of the groom.* 
 
 She was most generous and affectionate, and adored her 
 children, and reared two children who were in no way related 
 to her, as well as two grandchildren. The two "bound children" 
 were called Willie and Vinie Bromwell, but their real name was 
 Ingram, they being little orphans of some people who died of 
 cholera in Cumberland, 111. She was intensely religious and 
 romantic, and fond of observing signs and omens ; to hear her 
 read and intone the psalms was a treat; she could give the exact 
 value to each word and line, and chant like a trained chorister. 
 In Illinois, when the state was almost a wilderness, she used to 
 entertain large companies during the "camp meetings," when 
 the traveling preachers would come through the country, and 
 was often known to deliver very fine addresses and exhortations 
 without any previous preparation. The family still possess an 
 old melodeon which was used on these occasions.

 *Note — When she was married her prospective brother-in-law, Henry

 her devoted maid for several years ; after the fire, when the arrangements 
 were being completed for removal to Cincinnati, she gave this girl her freedom, 
 as Phryne wished to marry a young free negro man who was going to Ger- 
 many with a family who had inherited property there. The couple were mar- 
 ried, and departed very happily for Europe.

 1796 ; m. Matthew Trimble, and went to Ohio, where they bought 
 a place in the country in Coshocton Co., calling it "The Maples." 
 They built quite a handsome two-story brick house, with large 
 rooms and good furnishings, and they erected at their own ex- 
 pense a little brick church or chapel, and the professors from 
 Kenyon College, a few miles distant, would fill the pulpit, so 
 that they always had services each Sabbath. The church was 
 on a corner of their land, and they gave a little space, also, for a 
 grave-yard. 
 
 They kept a very hospitable home here for many years, and 
 she enjoyed having a house full of friends staying with her, and 
 was a fine housekeeper, delighting to make dainties for her lit- 
 tle nephews and nieces, as well as for others, and to give enter- 
 tainments for the pleasure of her neighbors. She died in 1873, 
 and is buried near the chapel, which is in a state of decay, if, in- 
 deed, it still stands, to keep guard over the little country grave- 
 yard, now grown up in weeds and wild flowers.

 Letter from Joseph Holmes to His Brother, Lemuel Holmes. 
 
 January 1st, 1842. 
 Mr. Lemuel Holmes: 
 
 Dear Brother — Yours of the no date came to hand some time ago, and 
 I have no particular reasons to offer why I have delayed answering it except 
 being very much engaged in my business, having much to attend to, and 
 considering it something of an undertaking to write all I wished to commu- 
 nicate in my answer. 
 
 To your enquiries about our connections, etc., I shall begin with my 
 family. We continue to live in the same house we did when you last vis- 
 ited us, having something of an addition of some size to it. We have five 
 sons, three married and two unmarried, and two daughters, both unmarried. 
 Our children thus far have been good and dutiful children ; those who are 
 married are all settled around us in the neighborhood. 
 
 I am doing very well. As regards this world's goods, I have no reason 
 to complain. I have a great property in my possession. I have six dwell- 
 ing houses in this town ; I own seven schooners of about one hundred ton3 
 each; I have two ships of five hundred tons each, and part of another of

 300 tons ; I own four wharves in Kingston and a, large fishing establish- 
 ment, which business we carry on to considerable extent. I own considerable 
 land about the vicinity, some very choice pieces, and do considerable in the 
 farming line, and keep two horses. My oldest son, Alexander, lives where 
 Abiel Washburn formerly lived, is doing business by himself, and owns 
 a number of vessels, and is married, and doing a very good business. My 
 fourth son, Horace, is married and in trade in the neighborhood, and doing 
 well. My third son, Edward, is married and lives at Landing, and is con- 
 nected with me in vessels and fishing. My second son, Paraclete, has al- 
 ways followed the seas; he has commanded my ship Rialto of Kingston for 
 the last seven years, in the freighting business between New Orleans, and 
 has been one-quarter of his time in New Orleans, and I think it strange 
 you have never found him out. He is now at home, and I think will not go 
 to sea again. He, with my two daughters, are with us, and we are well. 
 (Lucy Evaline and Pamela). 
 
 Our sister Clarissa, you will remember, married a Lemuel Bryant, 
 and lived in Plympton. He died some twenty years ago. She lives a 
 widow. She has lost a son, and a daughter ; has two sons and three daugh- 
 ters living. Her children are all settled near arid about and with her. She 
 was left with some property, and has everything necessary and comfortable 
 about her and at her disposal. Our sister Pamela, you know, married a 
 Robert McLauthlin. She has been dead some twenty years, lea,ving four 
 daughters — Pamela, Mary, Lucia, and Ann. They are all married, the three 
 youngest settled in Kingston, all well off as to living, etc. Our sister 
 Polly, you recollect, married Solomon Leach. They removed to Matapop- 
 
 pett. They have five children, W — — , TV (handwriting illegible), 
 
 Alexander, Harrison and Catherine. Two of them are dead; one settled in 
 South Carolina, the others with her at Matapoppett. He has been dead about 
 ten years, leaving her a widow with some property, so that she lives very 
 comfortably, and has brought up her family well. 
 
 The aforegoing is a history of our family as near as I can give it on 
 such reflection as I am able at this time to afford to it. 
 
 I am sincerely sorry for your misfortune and afflictions. But, my 
 Dear Brother, you must remember afflictions come not from the ground: 
 no troubles from the dust; we have, Sir, a good, a kind, and a merciful 
 GOD who watches over and directs the events of the universe, and, though 
 his ways are in some respects mysterious, yet they are doubtless right. 
 
 May His spirit attend you and yours to guide, sustain, and bless you.

 Letter from Mrs. Eliza (Harlow) Morse to Mrs. Pa-

 Me.) 
 
 My Dear Beloved Sister: 
 
 I cannot express my feelings on receiving your kind letter. How much 
 have I to be thankful for when I have such a friend and sister. 
 
 But far am I from making that progress in the Divine life that you 
 would fain think. No, I am a stupid, ungrateful creature, with scarcely 
 a glimmer of hope that I have been translated from a state of sin and 
 
130 THE HOLMES FAMILY. 
 
 wretchedness into a, state of rich grace; my mind is dark and beclouded 
 with sin. 
 
 It gladdens my heart to think that you are enjoying the presence of 
 the blessed Saviour; may you ever live in the light of his reconciled counte- 
 nance. If I could have your society now, I think I should prize it more than 
 ever. I should not write today, as my head is very dizzy and painful, 
 which is very often the case this winter, but I wish to put this in the office 
 in the morning. 
 
 I expect Freeman here this week, with his wife and children, to spend 
 the winter. He spends the winter in Augusta. Dear Edwin sent word he 
 is coming with his children to make a short visit. The last time he was 
 here he came after Mary to carry her home; it must be very trying to hi* 
 feelings when he comes again. 
 
 Do, my sister (I love the word sister, there is something so sweet in 
 the sound), do write about your health, and all the family. How is my own 
 Henrietta? Should I see her now, instead of the lively girl, it would be the 
 sober matron. Give my love to all dear friends; I wish much to hear how 
 Henrietta M. enjoys her health. Pelham Holmes' widow was very ill last 
 summer ; have not seen her since. 
 
 When I attempt to write, am thinking all the time how sweet it 
 would be to see you; why should I feel so unreconciled at being so great a 
 distance from you? The Lord knows what place and circumstance is best 
 for us. I want to feel entire submission to His Holy will. Remember me 
 in your prayers.

 U. S. Consul, where he kept constant watch on the movements of hostile emis- 
 saries and was able to advise and warn the government, through the Secre- 
 tary of State. (.Official Records, War of the Rebellion.) For his work in

 *Note — Elizabeth Harlow Morse, the mother of this family, d. June 7, 
 1853, and her husband, William, the following July 11. Of her children old 
 letters indicate that in that year William, Freeman and Edwin were in Bath, 
 all with fine wives and beautiful children, and great pains taken with their 
 education. Alfred and wife were in Maumee City, Ohio, he being pastor of a 
 Presbyterian Church. Harlow, with his pretty, pleasant family, was in Rock- 
 land, on Penobscot Bay. Brainerd and Henry B., the two youngest sons, were 
 in California, where they had been for three years, unmarried. The two 
 daughters, Elisabeth (Wiggins) and Abbie (Wadbridge), with their husbands 
 and Abbie's two little girls, left Bath, in March of this year, and, sailing 
 around the Horn, arrived in Stockton, Cal., in August. Henrietta's husband, 
 Rev. Mr. Day, was a Baptist minister in Bangor, Me., and elsewhere. She d. 
 in Bast Boston about 1890, or later. They had one son, Fred B. Her grand- 
 son, Frederick W. Day, was a well-respected alderman of Boston.

 From an old water color painting handed down from Captain Zepha- 
 niah Harlow of Bath, Me., through his daughter Ellen, who married a Lit- 
 tlefield, whose daughter Ann married an Allen, and kept the relic. She died 
 at a great age in recent years, in North Livermore, Me. Captain Harlow of 
 Bath was the father of our ancestor, Patience Harlow. There has always 
 been communication between this branch of the Harlows and the western 
 branch. The following notes are from Dr. William Page Harlow, of the 
 faculty of the University of Colorado:

 The Harlow family contributed over seventy soldiers to the Revolution 
 from Massachusetts alone, thirty being from near Plymouth. Most of these 
 were "Minute Men." 
 
 WILLIAM HARLOW (the first), b. about 1624 in England. Probably 
 came to the Colonies when about thirteen years of age with Thomas Hampton 
 of Sandwich, for he is a beneficiary of Hampton's will, and there is evidence 
 that he was related to Secretary Morton of Plymouth Colony, as the will of 
 Morton testifies, and he is an executor of this will. It is thought they came 
 from the same localities in England. Some accounts have given Essex, and 
 the village of Harlow as the birthplace of William. He first appears in Sand- 
 wich, Mass., in 1637, and was later of Lynn. Then moved to Plymouth, 
 where he was afterward a most respected and useful member of the colony, 
 representing it in the General Court 1673-75, and being Selectman for fifteen 
 years from 1669 to 1691. He was very public-spirited, and a most virtuous and 
 exemplary character. He first m. REBECCA BARTLETT, our ancestress, 
 daughter of ROBERT BARTLETT, and his wife, MART WARREN, daughter 
 of RICHARD WARREN, the Pilgrim who came in the Mayflower. The second 
 wife of William Harlow was Mary, daughter of Elder Thomas Faunce, and 
 he m., 3d, Mary Shelley, who survived him, and became the wife of Lieut. 
 Ephriam Morton of Plymouth. In Plymouth still stands the old house once 
 occupied by William Harlow, built out of the old timbers of the fort of the 
 Pilgrims. It is weatherboarded, and well painted at this day, and presents 
 quite a modern appearance. (.From published records.) 
 
 (From Bees' Cyclopaedia, X8J9) : 
 HARLOW. A parish and village in the hundred of the same name, 
 County of Essex, Eng. Formerly a market town and place of considerable 
 trade, but fallen into disuse. Inhabitants chiefly supported by agricultural 
 pursuits. Three annual fairs. Harlow Bush fair for sale of cattle, etc. The 
 church was partly demolished by fire in 1711, but was soon restored and orna- 
 mented with much painted glass. The original structure was in the cathedral 
 form, but the tower, which rose from the center, has been replaced by a 
 cupola. Harlow is 23 miles from London; in 1801 had 265 houses and 1,514 
 inhabitants. About three miles distant, in the Parish of Latton, are the re- 
 mains of an Augustine Priory, founded previous to 1270 (see Morant's Hist, 
 and Antiq. of Essex, 2 vols.).

THE PAYNE FAMILY 
 
 Descendants of Jonathan Payne and Elizabeth Wright. 
 
 (1) JONATHAN PAYNE, b. Nov. 3, 1770, Bedford 
 Co., Va., or Pa., according to different family traditions. The 
 names of these states when abbreviated and written carelessly 
 resemble each other very much. The fact of the descendants 
 having two traditions is easily accounted for. He d. Sept. 16, 
 1845, aged 74 years. He is said to have been a descendant of 
 Josiah Payne, who was a relative of Sir Robert Payne, one of 
 the original proprietors of Virginia. He was a very remark- 
 able character, deeply religious, of a most refined, sensitive na- 
 ture, of sterling integrity and very proud. He married in Shel- 
 by Co., Ky., Aug. 20, 1798, Elizabeth Wright, who was 16 years 
 old at the time, born in 1782, April 22, in Virginia, Berkeley 
 City, Berkeley Co. She remembered her native state, and often 
 spoke of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains which she had 
 crossed in childhood, going to her Western home in the forests 
 of Kentucky, then inhabited by Indians to a great extent, and 
 a place of adventure and wonder. In personal appearance Eliz- 
 abeth was said to have been small, and in youth pretty, and had 
 a sober, serious disposition, without much humor, but very ten- 
 der-hearted, and, like her husband, ardently religious. She was 
 a Methodist, and always did a great deal to help the cause of 
 religion, promoting camp-meetings, entertaining traveling min- 
 isters, and giving freely of all she had, so that it was said that 
 she was one of the large-hearted women of her time. She was 
 also skilled in spinning, the making of wine and preserves, and 
 could keep such fine discipline among her thirteen children that 
 it was said she had a real talent for governing. 
 
 In 1822 her third son William became possessed with a 
 fever to go to Indiana, and nothing else would do but the family 
 must sell the place in Kentucky and go with him. She finally

 consented, and they went out on horseback, and later returned 
 and moved there with all their belongings. Her eldest son at 
 this time was studying law in Louisville, and did not go with 
 them, but all the others went together, and soon established 
 themselves in Owen Co., on a place which is still owned by some 
 of their descendants. Here they both died, Elizabeth surviving 
 her husband, and dying Feb. 24, 1862, aged 79 years. Her 
 daughter Elizabeth W. Payne, was perhaps her favorite of the

 He lived in Ky. until early manhood, when he studied law, 
 came to the bar, and removed to Corydon, Ind., which was then 
 the capital of the state, and a place of some considerable busi- 
 ness importance. In politics he was a Whig, which was not in his 
 favor, as Indiana was then a Democratic state. He made several 
 unsuccessful campaigns for Congress, the last one against Rob- 
 ertDale Owen, and it was from a cold protracted during this cam- 
 paign that he died at the early age of 46 years. He was a mem- 
 ber of the Indiana House of Representatives in 1833, and. in the 
 State Senate in 1834-'35-'36. In 1841 he was a Presidential

 elector for William Henry Harrison, and later was Prosecuting 
 Attorney for the Second Judicial Circuit of Indiana. 
 
 He was so highly esteemed that years after his death' 
 he was still held in affectionate remembrance by the community. 
 His unblemished character, learning, eloquence and personal 
 dignity, and perfect manners, made him one not to be forgotten. 
 In personal appearance he was handsome, even more so than is 
 usual even among Kentuckians. He had literary tastes, and a 
 highly poetical nature, and was considered a fine speaker and 
 orator. He was called Major Payne, but it is not certain what 
 his military record was, if anything. He was of a delicate con- 
 stitution, though not subject to diseases, and had brown eyes and 
 hair. In Corydon he lived in a large, substantial house, and had 
 his law office in the front west room on the second floor, an en- 
 trance to which was effected by a staircase erected on the out- 
 side of the house, which was frame, painted white, and stood on 
 a side street near the Public Square. It is still standing, but 
 has been cut in two, and moved apart. It had originally twelve 
 rooms, a wide hall, handsome staircase and fireplaces. In th& 
 yard behind it there was one of those curious "wind caves" some- 
 times seen in southern Indiana. A country place across the 
 river called "Peach Hill" was also owned by him, and he left 
 property enough to enable his widow to educate and rear her chil- 
 dren, to which she devoted herself. She survived him more than 
 thirty years. 
 
 Corydon was in his time a place of much interest. It was 
 settled with Kentuckians, very well bred, and polite people ; they 
 entertained, dressed and lived in good style. It was a beautiful 
 place, too, full of fine old elms, one of which is still pointed out 
 as the tree under which the Legislature is said to have met at 
 one time, when in special session, in the warm weather. The 
 old stone Capitol is still standing in the Square, and so was the 
 old mansion of Governor Hendricks until a few years ago. The 
 first Constitutional Convention of Indiana met in Corydon in

 1816. His law partner, at the time of his death was Judge 
 Slaughter, who had formerly been his law student, and with 
 whom young Walter Q. Gresham studied law when he came up 
 to Corydon from Lanesville to begin a career which ended in 
 the United States Cabinet.* Associated with Payne as friends 
 were Joseph G. Marshall, Joseph L. White and Richard W. 
 Thompson, all well-known lawyers of his time. On his grave 
 stone in Corydon is the following inscription : 
 
 "An eminent Jurist, 
 
 A distinguished Legislator, 
 
 An humble Christian." 
 "Let me die the death of the righteous, 
 
 And let my last end be like his."

 Republican candidate for the Presidency before the nominating convention ol 
 1884, and who was at different times postmaster general, secretary of the 
 treasury, and at the time of his death secretary of state, was b. near Lanes- 
 ville, Harrison Co., Ind., March 17, 1833, a son of William Gresham and 
 Sarah, dau. of John Davis of Ky. His parents were m. Nov. 3, 1825, and al- 
 ways lived in and near Lanesville, which is a very quaint little hamlet in 
 a most picturesque part of the beautiful southern Indiana hills. They had 
 several sons who achieved note, besides Walter Q., for Benjamin gained dis. 
 tinction in the Army of the Potomac, while William was a noted jurist. The 
 mother lived to be over 100 years old. During the term of his student days 
 he lived at Cedar Glade with his old friends, the McGrains, and later m. one 
 of these fine girls, but not before he had been an unsuccessful suitor for the 
 hand of Emma Payne, who was his first sweetheart.

 TWO PORTRAITS OF DR. ROBERT LEFFLER PAYNE AT DIFFERENT 
 
 AGES. 
 
 Dr. Payne spent years in compiling material for a genealogy of the 
 Payne family, tracing back to the English ancestors. After his death the man- 
 uscript disappeared, and probably the matters he had preserved are now foi- 
 ever lost to the descendants. 
 
150 THE PAYNE FAMILY. 
 
 (19) ELIZABETH EMILY PAYNE, b. in Corydon, 
 Lid., March 3, 1837, and d. in same place Jan. 1, 1865. Edu- 
 cated in Corydon, New Albany, Ind., and at Asbury College, 
 and was noted for beauty and for a kind and sweet disposition. 
 Her old negro nurse, "Aunt Morn," speaking of her thirty 
 years after her death, said : "Miss Emma was the most inoffens- 
 ive woman I ever saw; she never in her life hurt the feelings 
 of a single person." She was an accomplished musician, on 
 the piano and guitar, and had a fine soprano voice, well 
 trained, and was fond of society, and entertained a good deal, 
 and had unusual talent in conversation. She married H. P. H. 
 Bromwell in Marshall, 111., at the home of her uncle, Dr. Flem- 
 ing E. Payne, June 20, 1858. The wedding was a very hand- 
 some one with all the windows of the house, both up-stairs and 
 down, illuminated with candles, and brides maids dressed in 
 white tulle. The groom's attendant was a young lawyer of 
 Marshall, John Schofield, afterward Chief Justice of Illinois. 
 (For a further account of her family see Bromwell. Gen. (No.

 (20) DR. WILLIAM ALEXANDER PAYNE, b. in 
 
 Corydon, Ind., March 26, 1840. Was a soldier in the Civil War, 
 had his health ruined by exposure, and died in Dec, 1874, after 
 several years' suffering. He studied medicine in Louisville, 
 Ky., graduated and practiced there and in St. Louis. He at 
 first desired to enter upon a theatrical career which his family 
 opposed, but later he went upon the lecture platform, and was 
 becoming distinguished in this field when he took tip the study 
 of medicine. He wrote several treatises for medical magazines, 
 and two books which are now out of print. In person he was 
 very much admired, and had a disposition very ardent, poeti- 
 cal, and inclined to literary and artistic effort. He was generous 
 to a fault. He married Undine Had no children.

 Co., Ky. ; d. March 14, 1883, in Owen Co., Ind., aged 80 years ; 
 m. Amma, dau. of Daniel Beam, Nov. 2, 1826. She d. May 
 31, 1877. He came to Ind. in 1822, accompanying his brother- 
 in-law, Valentine Lyon and wife. They took land in what was 
 then called the "Steel Neighborhood," now called Montgomery 
 Twp. (Owen Co.) The place is now known as the Eli Ander- 
 son, or John Hyden tract, being at that time unbroken forest, 
 save a "deadening" of fifteen acres. They cleared it, built a 
 house, and fifty years later ate their golden wedding dinner in 
 the same room where they came as bride and groom. They were 
 married in a little brick house (the only one in the country) 
 several miles distant. The country was so new that 
 there was no tailor to be had, and William Payne, 
 
 *NOTB — Theophilus Van Deren was for many years a noted character in 
 Charleston ; he was a writer, and contributed verse to the papers of his time, 
 but most of his work is probably lost. In character he was usually attractive, 
 being very unselfish and a devoted friend to all humanity. He was very ab- 
 sent-minded, and a number of good stories used to be told of this peculiarity 
 of his: One of the best ones Mrs. Ficklin was fond of relating. It happened 
 that he at one time escorted her to make a call on a celebrated visitor so- 
 journing in Charleston. The great lady was found (for it was a lady), and, 
 being somewhat embarrassed, her callers opened the conversation on that uni- 
 versal topic, the weather. This they discussed so much as to make it seem 
 rather an exhausted subject; a pause occurred, and just as Mrs. Ficklin, and 
 probably also the distinguished hostess, were wondering what topic to bring 
 up next, Theophilus shifted in his chair, coughed, and Mrs. Ficklin saw that 
 he was going to speak. She experienced a feeling of relief, and the visitor 
 gave an interested look toward her callers : 
 
 "It is a fine day," said Theophilus, with a slight blush.

 who had bought himself a new suit of broadcloth for 
 the occasion, had to take it to Bloomington to be made. 
 They united with Salem Methodist Church, and were always de- 
 voted to religious observances. He was a tall, finely-formed 
 man, and bore a striking resemblance to Abraham Lincoln. He 
 served in the Civil War, being in Co. K, 55th Reg., Ind. Vols. 
 (Corporal). He had but one son, among seven daughters, and 
 there is no male descendant to carry his name after his grand- 
 son, the Rev. John William Payne, passes away.

 77 REV. WILLIAM HARRISON THROOP. b 
 Oct. 25, 1846; d. in Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 17, 
 1884. Lived, when a, boy, in Worthington, 
 Ind., where he was a very remarkable child, 
 writing letters in verse at an early age, and 
 making unusual advances in education. He 
 studied for the ministry, and was very suc- 
 cessful in the work when established, as the 
 following, clipped from the "Historical Sketctb 
 of St. James Episcopal Church, Milwaukee, 
 Wis.," will show: The book was published 
 by the parish in 1907 : 
 
 "The Rev. William H. Throop was Rector of the church from 
 1S75 to 1882. Just before he entered upon his rectorship, the following 
 advertisement appeared in an Eastern paper, which shows very plainly 
 the darker side of St. James, for it is true that there was much more 
 friction in our church in the past than is now : 
 
 " 'Wanttd — A rector for St. James' Church, Milwaukee, "Wis. He 
 must possess all the Christian graces, and a few worldly ones. Must 
 have such tact and disposition as will enable him to side with all par- 
 ties in the parish on all points, giving offense to none. Should possess 
 a will of nis own, but agree with all the vestry. Must be socially in- 
 clined, and of dignified manners, affable to all, neither running after the 
 wealthy, nor turning his back upon the poor. A man of high-low 
 church tendencies preferred. Must be willing to preach first-class ser- 
 mons and do first-class work at second-class compensation. Salary 
 should not be so much of an object as the desire to be a zealous la- 
 borer in the vineyard. Should be able to convince all that they are 
 miserable sinners without giving offense. Each sermon must be short, 
 but complete in itself — full of old-fashioned theology in modern dress — 
 deep, but polished, and free from the eloquence peculiar to newly grad- 
 uated theologians. Should be young enough to be enthusiastic, but 
 possess the judgment of one of ripe years and experience. He only who 
 possesses the above qualifications need apply. To such an one will be 
 given steady employment for a term of years. For further information 
 apply to any member of the congregation.' " 
 
 This remarkable notice seems to have suited William H. Throop, 
 for the record goes on to say: 
 
 "Under Mr. Throop the church grew rapidly, and much work was 
 accomplished. He had great influence among people, and was much 
 beloved. He organized St. James' Brotherhood, which worked for 
 many years in the Palmer's Addition Mission Sunday School. The out- 
 growth of this mission is the present St. Stephen's Church. Rev. Mr. 
 Throop's death was very sad. He was still a young man, and his life- 
 work seemed only beginning. But there are those who accomplish much 
 in the few years allotted to them on earth, and leave an influence and 
 name which others might envy." 
 
 The church later erected a handsome memorial window in honor 
 of the talented, but martyred young man, who fulfilled all these re- 
 quirements; d, iimn.

 was the Eev. Daniel De Motte, an earlier preacher of note, who 
 has been called the "builder of Indiana Methodism." After her 
 marriage she lived at the following points with her husband: 
 Martinsville, La Porte, South Bend, Kussellville, Perrysville, 
 and finally Danville, where her death occurred. She is remem- 
 bered in the family as a beautiful and most refined woman, and

 P., pro merito, later on, and was also honored with the degree of 
 M. D. from the College of Physicians and Surgeons. Was principal 
 of the preparatory department of the University for ten years, six 
 years Associate Professor of Mathematics, and in 1882 became full 
 Professor of Physics, which department he made famous, his lecture 
 rooms and laboratory being crowded with students attracted by his 
 enthusiasm, and the charm of his personality. In 1891 he severed 
 his relations with the University, and entered npon his great public 
 career as a lecturer. His engagements took him to every state in 
 the Union, and his pre-eminence was generally recognized. He 
 made many trips to Europe for study, and with the advantage 
 gained by so much post-graduate work in the foreign schools, and 
 his twenty years' experience as Professor of Mathematics and Phys- 
 ics at Asbury and DePauw Universities, he was well equipped to 
 make for himself a unique position among American lecturers. 
 
 His illustrations were of his own designing. He was said to 
 be the first to photograph sound waves, and reproduce them by mov-

 in Shelby Co., Ky. ; d. in Marshall, 111., Dec. 1, 1873, aged 52 
 years. Graduated in Medicine in Louisville, Ky., and removed 
 to Marshall, 111., where he was for many years at the head of 
 the profession, and where his practice grew so much that he was 
 unable to find opportunity for sleep, and had to resort to artifice 
 to obtain needed rest each day. He was well liked in every way, 
 and socially was very prominent. He was a factor in the politi- 
 cal world, also, frequently naming the ones from the district who 
 were most sure of election and secitring their nominations. He 
 was always consulted when the tickets were made up, and his 
 advice never disregarded, even in the selection of the federal 
 and state officers from that part of Illinois. In medical circles 
 he was admitted to be one of the foremost members of the pro- 
 fession. He wrote articles for medical journals, and at the time 
 of his death had a work of a technical nature ready for press, 
 several hundred pages of matter, which had occupied him for 
 many years during his rare moments of leisure, and this valua-

 ble manuscript was burned through the carelessness of a servant 
 
 soon after his funeral. 
 
 His health was injured by a trip to California in the winter 
 
 of 1871, and he was never so well thereafter. He had married, 
 
 1st, Sarah, dau. of Nineveh Shaw, who died July 1, 1852. That 
 
 she was very much beloved the following letter written to H. P. 
 
 H. Bromwell will testify. It is of date Sept. 28, 1852 : 
 
 "You have probably heard of the death of my wife. Although I have 
 long been satisfied that she could not recover, yet this calamity falls upon 
 me with great severity. To be separated forever from a devoted companion 
 is truly a great affliction. She was ever ready to share with me not only 
 in the joys and pleasures, but in the sorrows and conflicts of life. When 
 enemies strove to blight my professional prospects, I could with confidence 
 look to her for a smile of approbation, a word of encouragement. Through 
 all my misfortunes, trials and difficulties in trying to relieve us from the 
 disadvantages of poverty, she was ever ready to support, comfort and con- 
 sole. But now, when the prospects of brighter days are before us, she has 
 been called to try the realities of an invisible world. No longer can she 
 be a, source of happiness to me, only in, remembrance of the past. She is 
 gone; but I shall ever look back with pleasing emotion upon the many 
 happy hours I have spent in the unreserved enjoyment of her society. 'I 
 weep not as those who have no hope,' for confidently do I believe that she 
 is now in that world where sickness, sorrow, pain and woe cometh never." 
 
 Dr. Payne said that he remembered the visit to his father's 
 home (in 1833) of John Howard Payne, the author of "Home, 
 Sweet Home," who was, he thought, a relative of his father. He 
 was a man of fine memory, and most accurate in all his state- 
 ments, and if he were living could most likely add a great deal 
 to this work from his knowledge of the elder lines of the family.

 *He was named John Washington for his grandfather, but was always 
 called "Dick," after Governor Oglesby, who called to see Dr. Payne on the day 
 of the young man's nativity. It was near the dinner hour, and after some 
 time spent in the library the Governor was invited out into the dining room 
 to partake of some of the triumphs of Dr. Payne's good negro cook ; the table 
 was laid for twelve, hut there seemed to be an absence of persons of the fam- 
 ily, and especially of the hostess ; Dr. Payne, who made one or two excur- 
 sions away from the dining room, explained that she was upstairs attending 
 to some important business. The Governor was a little surprised, as It was 
 not her custom to prefer business to her social duties ; but he ate his dinner, 
 and took his departure, and for several days the town of Marshall regaled 
 itself with hilarity at his expense.

 fined woman, and loved all good works. James Harvey Payne 
 was a man of deep religious convictions, and in his later years 
 took great comfort in going to church, no matter what the 
 weather or state of his health, he was never absent from a meet- 
 ing. For many years, in his old age, he had to relinquish active 
 effort, and devote himself to the study of his Bible. He had a 
 wonderful memory for everything in the book, and could quote 
 freely concerning any point which might be mentioned. He was 
 very domestic, devoted to his family and their material comfort, 
 and left them houses and other property at his death. He never 
 returned to the friends of his youth in the middle west. He 
 was a Freemason, being a member of Junction Lodge ISTo. 69,

THE RICE FAMILY 
 
 OF 
 
 RICES FORT, PENN. 
 
 (1) JACOB RICE. Had wife Anne. Was one of four 
 brothers who came from Germany to Hagerstown, Md. lie came 
 from Maryland to Western Pa. about 1770, and established a 
 fort against the Indians, which became known as "Rice's Fort," 
 in the histories of the time. Daniel Rice has been mentioned 
 as the builder, but as he was the son of Jacob, and was not mar- 
 ried until 1777, it is probable that it was built by the father, 
 but with the assistance of all the other parties concerned.* 
 
 The territory where the fort stood is now within or near 
 the celebrated oil region of Pa., and not very far from the pres- 
 ent city of Pittsburg, which was at that time Fort Pitt, or 
 Fort Duquesne. The country is rolling, with some high hills, 
 and many fine bits of meadow and bottom land between. At this 
 day it is disfigured with oil derricks, and very untidy villages, 
 though there are some places bearing evidence of the previous 
 conditions, such as the quaint, beautiful little county seat of 
 Washington, with its historic old college buildings, for which 
 Benjamin Franklin had labored to secure endowments early in 
 the history of the commonwealth. Washington- Academy, incor- 
 porated by act of the Legislature, 1787, was the first institution 
 of learning west of the Allegheny Mountains, in the "Great Mis- 
 sissippi Valley." Benjamin Franklin, in 1790, presented it with 
 fifty pounds toward a library. Jefferson College was first lo- 
 cated in Oannonsburg, seven miles from Washington. They 
 were later consolidated. Rice's Fort was near the present site 
 of this college, and next to the state line, on Dutch Fork of Buf- 
 falo Creek, according to old maps, between the present Clays- 
 
 *NOTB — The names of part of this pioneer company were Jacob Conrad 
 Isaac Letficr (Jacob ?), Dr. Pf rimer, Jno. Winter, Henry Miller, John Simler, 
 Mr. Hoover, and their several families. 
 
178 THE RICE FAMILY. 
 
 ville, and West Alexander, Dutch Fork, a little north of mid- 
 dle of line, West Alexander seeming to be the nearest post office 
 to the old site. 
 
 The old block house of Fort Pitt is still preserved by a pa- 
 triotic society in Pittsburg, and it is probably much like the 
 other posts of defense, and there were a number of them, for 
 Miller's block house was three miles east of West Alexander; 
 Vance's Fort one mile west of Cross Creek village (a descend- 
 ant of Major William Vance, Allison Vance, was lately in pos- 
 session of the land of Vance's Fort) and Lamb's Fort, and 
 Wright's Fort are all to be found on the old maps, not very far 
 apart. One authority mentions Pice's Fort as being two miles 
 down the creek from Miller's Fort; Doddridge's Fort was an- 
 other, a few miles away. The eminent Congressman, Dr. Philip 
 Doddridge, was reared in this place, and his brother, the equally 
 noted writer of the history of the Indian wars of western Pa. 
 {edited after his death by his daughter Narcissa). 
 
 Captain Isaac Craig, on his march from Carlysle to Fort 
 
 Pitt in 1780, stopped at Pice's Fort, May 14th. The fort seems 
 
 to have been a rectangular stockade, with a block-house in one 
 
 corner, and containing dwellings within its enclosure. It was 
 
 never overwhelmed, but suffered one of the worst battles with 
 
 Indians in the annals of the border wars. The following is from 
 
 Kercheval's "History of the Valley of Virginia" (1833) : 
 
 "Previously to the attack on Rice's Fort, which took place in the 
 month of September, 1782, several of the few men belonging to the fort 
 had gone to Hagerstown, to exchange their peltry and furs for salt, iron 
 and ammunition, as was the usual custom of those times. They had gone 
 on this journey somewhat earlier that season than usual, because there 
 had been 'a still time;' that is, no recent alarms about the Indians. 
 
 NOTE — Dr. Joseph Doddridge, who wrote the history of this region, and 
 who was a friend and comrade of these people, living near Rice's Fort, was 
 born in Bedford, Co., Pa., in 1769, and came to Washington Co., when a child 
 four years of age. He became one of the finest writers. Had great powers 
 nf observation, and his work gives evidence of culture and mental attainments 
 of a high order. His pleas for the slave for freedom, etc., are most eloquent. 
 He wa«a brother of the eminent Dr. Philip Doddridge, jurist and statesman, 
 who d. while serving his term in Congress, and is buried in the Congressional 
 Cemetery in Washington, D. C. 
 
THE RICE FAMILY. 170 
 
 "A few days before the attack on this fort about 300 Indians had 
 made their last attack on Wheeling Fort. On the third night of the in- 
 vestment of Wheeling the Indian cniefs held a council, in which it was 
 determined that the siege of Wheeling should be raised ; two hundred of the 
 warriors return home, and the remaining hundred of picked men make 
 a dash into the country and strike a heavy blow somewhere before their re- 
 turn. It was their determination to take u. fort somewhere and massacre 
 all its people in revenge for their defeat at Wheeling. 
 
 "News of the plan adopted by the Indians was given by two white 
 men who had been made prisoners when lads, raised among the Indians 
 and taken to war with them. These men deserted from them soon after 
 their council at the close of the siege of Wheeling. The notice was indeed 
 but short, but it reached Rice's Fort about half an hour before the com- 
 mencement of the attack. The intelligence was brought by Jacob Miller, 
 who received it at Dr Moore's, in the neighborhood of Washington. Mak- 
 ing all speed home he fortunately arrived in time to assist in the defense 
 of the plaee s On receiving this news the people of the fort felt assured 
 that the blow was intended for them, and in this conjecture they were 
 not mistaken. But little time was allowed them for preparation. 
 
 "The Indians had surrounded the place before they were discovered : 
 but they were still at some distance. When seen, the alarm was given, 
 on which every man ran for his gun and took refuge in the block-house. 
 The Indians, answering the alarm with a war whoop from their whole line, 
 commenced firing, and running towards the fort from every direction. It 
 was evidently their intention to take the place by assault; but the fire of 
 the Indians was answered by that of six brave and skillful sharpshooters. 
 This unexpected reception prevented the intended assault, and made the 
 Indians take refuge behind logs, stumps and trees. The firing continued 
 with little* intermission for about four hours. 
 
 "In the intervals of the firing the Indians frequently called out to 
 the people of the fort: 'Give up, give up, too many Indians; Indian too 
 big; no kill.' They were answered with defiannce: 'Come on, you cow- 
 ards; we are ready for you; show us your yellow hides, and we will make 
 holes in them for you.' 
 
 "During the evening many of the Indians, at some distance from the 
 fort, amused themselves by shooting the horses, cattle and sheep, until the 
 bottom was strewn with their dead bodies. 
 
 "About 10 o'clock at night the Indians set fire to a barn about 30 
 yards from the fort. It was large and full of grain and hay. The flame 
 was frightful, and at first it seemed to endanger the burning of the fort, 
 but the barn stood on lower ground than the fort. The night was calm, 
 with the exception of a slight breeze up the creek. This carried the flame 
 and burning splinters in a different direction, so that the burning of the

 barn, which at first was regarded as a dangerous, if not fatal occurrence, 
 proved in the issue the means of throwing a strong light to a great dia 
 tance in every direction, so that the Indians dare not approach the fort 
 to set fire to it, which they might have done at little risk, under the cover 
 of darkness. 
 
 "After the barn was set on fire, the Indians collected on the side ot 
 the fort opposite the barn, so as to have the advantage of the light, and 
 kept up a pretty constant fire, which was as steadily answered by that 
 of the fort, until about 2 o'clock, when the Indians left the place and 
 made a. hasty retreat. 
 
 "Thus was this little place defended by a Spartan band of six men 
 against one hundred chosen warriors, exasperated to madness by their fail- 
 ure at Wheeling fort. Their names shall be inscribed in the list of heroes 
 of our early times. They were Jacob Miller, George Leffler, Peter Fullen- 
 weider,* Daniel Rice, George Felebaum and Jacob Leffler, Jr. George Fele- 
 baum was shot in the forehead, through a port-hole, at the second fire of 
 the Indians, and instantly expired, so that in reality the defense of the 
 place was made by only five men. 
 
 "The loss of the Indians was four, three of whom were killed at the 
 first fire from the fort; the other was killed about sundown. There can 
 be no doubt but that a, number more were killed and wounded in the en- 
 gagement, but were concealed or carried off. 
 
 "A large division of these Indians, on their retreat, passed within a 
 little distance of my father's fort. In following their trail, a few days 
 afterwards, I found a large poultice of chewed sassafras leaves. This is 
 the dressing which the Indians usually apply to recent gunshot wounds. 
 The poultice which I found having become too old and dry, had been re- 
 moved, and replaced with a new one. 
 
 "Examples of personal bravery and hair breadth escapes arc always 
 acceptable to readers of history. An instance of both of these happened 
 during the attack on this fort, which may be worth recording. 
 
 "Abraham Rice, one of the principal men belonging to the fort of 
 that name, on hearing the report of the deserters from the Indians, mounted 
 a very strong, active mare and rode in all haste to another fort, about 
 three and a half miles distant from his own, for further news, if any 
 could be had, concerning the presence of a body of Indians in the neigh- 
 borhood. Just as he reached the place he heard the report of the guns at 
 his own fort. He returned as fast as possible, until he arrived within sight 
 of the fort. Finding that it still held out, he determined to reach it and 
 assist in its defense or perish in the attempt. In doing this he had to cross 
 the creek, the fort being some distance from it on the opposite bank. He 
 saw no Indians until his mare sprang down the bank of the creek, at which 
 instant about fourteen of them jumped up from among the weeds and

 bushes and discharged their guns at him. One bullet wounded him in the 
 fleshy part of his right arm above the elbow. By this time several more 
 of the Indians eame up and shot at him. A second ball wounded him in 
 the thigh a little above the knee, but without breaking the bone, and the 
 ball passed transversely through the neck of the mare. She, however, 
 sprang up the bank of the creek, fell to her knees and stumbled along about 
 a rod before she recovered. During this time several Indians came run- 
 ning up to tomahawk him. Yet he made his escape, after having about 
 thirty shots fired at him from a very short distance. After riding about 
 four miles, he reached Lamb's Fort, much exhausted from the loss of blood. 
 After getting his wounds dressed and resting a while, he set off late in the 
 evening with twelve men, determined, if possible, to reach the fort under 
 cover of night. When they got within about two hundred yards of it 
 they halted, the firing still continued. Ten of the men, thinking the enter- 
 prize too hazardous, refused to go any further and retreated. Rice and 
 two other men crept silently along towards the fort, but had not pro- 
 ceeded far before they came close upon an Indian in his concealment. He 
 gave the alarm yell, which was instantly passed around the lines with the 
 utmost regularity. This occasioned the Indians to make their last effort 
 to take the place and make their retreat under cover of the night. Rice 
 and his two companions returned in safety to Lamb's Fort. 
 
 "About 10 o'clock the next morning sixty men collected at Rice's 
 Fort for the relief of the place. They pursued the Indians, who kept in 
 a body for about two miles. The Indians had then divided into small par- 
 ties, and took over the hills in different directions, so that they could be 
 tracked no farther. The pursuit was, of course, given up. 
 
 "A small division of the Indians had not proceeded far after their 
 separation, before they discovered four men coming from a neighboring 
 fort in the direction of that which they had left. The Indians waylaid 
 the path, and shot two of them dead on the spot; the others fled. One 
 of them, being swift of foot, soon made his escape; the other, being a 
 poor runner, was pursued by an Indian, who, after a smart chase, came 
 close to him. The man then wheeled around and snapped his gun at the 
 Indian. This he repeated several times. The Indian then threw his toma- 
 hawk, but missed him. He then caught hold of the ends of his belt, which 
 was tied behind in a bow knot. In this, again, the Indian was disappointed, 
 for the knot eame loose, so that he got the belt, but not the man, who 
 wheeled around and tried his gun again, which happened to go off, and laid 
 the Indian dead at his feet." 
 
 JOHN RICE'S NOTES CONCERNING RICE'S FORT. 
 
 "In 1770 Jacob Rice and family, in company with ten or twelve other 
 families, came from Maryland across the Allegheny Mountains, and settled 
 
182 THE RICE FAMILY. 
 
 in Wash. Co., Pa., on Short Creek, near where Wash. Coll. now stands. 
 There they built a fort to protect themselves against the Indians, calling 
 it Rice's Fort. 
 
 "The Indians were very aggressive at this time, and gave them much 
 trouble. On one occasion two of the lads belonging to the fort were out- 
 side its walls skimming stones on the creek, one of them being nine, and 
 the other eleven years of age. Suddenly two Indians came up, took them 
 prisoners, and carried them a. distance of five miles. When night came 
 the Indians stacked their guns and tomahawks and laid down, with the 
 boys between them. 
 
 "A deep sleep came upon the Indians, and the boys got up quietly, 
 the elder one taking a stick of wood which he laid beside the head of one 
 of their captors, placing a gun on the stick with the muzzle near the In- 
 dians' head, and his little brother at the trigger. Then he took a toma- 
 hawk and stood over the other Indian, and said to his brother, "When I 
 strike, you pull the trigger." Thus they killed their captors, and reached 
 the fort before daylight ; their report was found to be true by a party of 
 men sent out to explore. 
 
 "At another time five men from the fort were out hunting, and were 
 captured by the Indians. They were all killed by being chopped to pieces 
 ( most of them were old men ) , the feet, legs and arms being taken off first. 
 When it came to Mr. Leffler's turn the Chief said: 'No kill him, good war- 
 rior; keep him.' So they bound him with thongs of raw-hide. During 
 the night he chewed these thongs in two and escaped safely to the fort. 
 
 In Oct. the fort was attacked by over a hundred Indians. Dan- 
 iel Rice was away at the time, but hearing the firing started home. As 
 he neared the fort, riding a fleet mare, he made a dash through the line 
 of Indians, under a heavy fire, and just then his mare received a shot in 
 the neck and fell to her knees. Several Indians advanced towards him 
 with uplifted tomahawks, and raising the war whoop so frightened the 
 wounded animal that she sprang up, and, dashing away, carried her rider 
 beyond the reach of danger. He gathered a posse of men and returned at 
 daybreak to succor the fort, but found one mightier than he had come to 
 their aid. The fight had been carried on by five men, the women moulding 
 bullets as fast as they were needed, and loading the guns for the men, so a 
 constant fire was kept up. It was a still evening at first, and the sun set 
 in a clear sky; but after a while some large clouds came up. The Indians, 
 who were in hopes to fire the fort, had backed some combustibles against 
 it and set fire to it, but just as the pile of flax was beginning to blaze, and 
 all hope seemed gone, the rain began falling, and increased until all the 
 fire was extinguished. The Indians seeing this became convinced that the 
 "Great Spirit" was angry with them, and departed, taking their dead with 
 them. 
 
THE RICEFAMILY. 183 
 
 "Shortly after this occurrence some of the boys were at the creek fish- 
 ing, when their hooks caught in an Indians' breech-clout. They drew him 
 to the top of the water and then ran toward the fort, crying; 'Indians, In- 
 dians,' causing all men, women and children to rush to the guns immedi- 
 ately. Boys were the same in 1770 as in later times." 
 
 Jacob Rice's tract of 400 acres was surveyed to him by 
 William Iioge, Sept. 21, 1785, and was called "Turkey's Nest" 
 and was taken up by him on a Virginia certificate granted in 
 Jan., 1780. This tract adjoined "Sylvias Plain," an estate on 
 which Jacob Leffler had made settlement in 1774.

 sister of the wife of his brother Daniel. In 1807 the Indians 
 being so very aggressive in Western Pa., he, with many others, 
 removed to Indiana, where there was never at any time so much 
 trouble with them. They traveled down the Ohio River on a 
 flat-boat with their effects, to Tobacco Landing, opposite Bran- 
 denburg, Ky., where his sister, Mrs. Boone, then lived. Other 
 members of the Boone family came with them, and their descend- 
 ants still live in Harrison Co. The boats used at that time for 
 river travel were made of green oak planks, caulked with tow, 
 or some other pliable substance, and fastened with wooden pins 
 to a timber frame. After a landing was made the family lived 
 for several years in the country ten miles south of C'orydon, and 
 in 1813, when that place was made the State Capitol, they re- 
 moved to Corydon, where Henry Bice built himself a comfort- 
 able two-story brick house, the first in that part of the state, and 
 where he died.* He was a strong, fine character, very religious, 
 and from the first was an elder in the Presbyterian Church. He 
 was prominent in the affairs of the town, and president of the 
 first town board (1817). He d. in Corydon, Sept. 25, 1825, 
 aged 63 years, and was buried in the old burying ground, now 
 "Cedar Hill Cemetery." Elizabeth d. Sept. 28, 1831, aged 57

 ology at Princeton. After serving as missionary in the west, he be- 
 came pastor of the Reformed Presbyterian Church at Spottswood, 
 N. J., and pastor, later, of the church at Chambersburg, Pa. (1834- 
 37 ) . Dr. Jos. H. Dubbs, in his "History of Marshall College," has 
 the following: "The first blow which fell upon the young institu- 
 tution was the unexpected death of the President of the Board of 
 Trustees, the Rev. Henry L. Rice, of Chambersburg. He had been 
 enthusiastically devoted to the work of establishing the new college. 
 His death was believed to have been caused by exposure (scarlet 
 fever). Dr. Rauch delivered the eulogy." The church erected a 
 handsome monument to the memory of their beloved pastor, and his 
 beautiful and amiable wife, who had done so much for the cause. 
 It stands in the grass in front of the edifice on South Main St., in 
 Chambersburg, and is about three feet at the base, and seven feet 
 high. The church stands twenty feet from the sidewalk, and is the 
 original building erected one hundred years ago, has a beautiful white 
 spire, and is kept in excellent repair, with exterior unchanged, 
 though the interior has been several times remodeled and beautified. 
 The Rev. Henry Leffler Rice and his beloved wife Gertrude are bur- 
 ied under the monument, which has the following inscription: 
 
 "The exclusive aim of his life was 
 The glory of his Master. 
 He loved his flock, the Reformed Church 
 and her institutions, and dying left 
 them his blessings and admonitions.

 Co., Pa., April 16, 1804; d. in Craw- 
 fordsville, Ind., at the age of 94 years, 
 Feb. 5, 1898 ; m., 1st, Sophia Hinsdale, 
 of Hinesburg, Vt., a lady of fine accom- 
 plishments and education, who had come 
 to Indiana to teach. The wedding was 
 on June 29, 1829 (by the Rev. Alexan- 
 der Wiliamson), at Mauckport, Ind. 
 He m., 2d, Nancy, dau. of Robert Bald- 
 win of Blue River, near Corydon (Feb. 
 20, 1849). John Rice was a merchant miller, a man of great 
 sense and sagacity, very firm, very honest, religious, a supporter 
 of the church, a strong Presbyterian, always an elder in the 
 church, training his family to strict religious observances. In 
 politics he was conservative, Republican, very pronounced in his 
 views. In business life he was greatly respected, and his word 
 was always as good as his note. 
 
 He built a large mill in Corydon, and on Aug. 10, 1856, 
 it was burned to the ground, entailing a total loss of $20,000. 
 He rebuilt the mill, but a short time afterwards thought best to 
 go to New Albany, and built there a large brick mill on Main 
 St., and was doing a very good business when the Civil War be- 
 gan. He had made several shipments of flour to New Orleans 
 and Memphis, amounting to $8,000, but before getting returns 
 from these shipments war was declared, the ports blockaded, 
 and this proved a total loss. He was then 57 years of age, with 
 a large family, and the clouds of financial embarrassment never 
 afterward lifted. He was a man of so much deep religious con- 
 viction, however, that he was enabled to bear with fortitude these 
 misfortunes, and died a happy and untroubled death. He re- 
 moved to Bloomington, Ind., in 1864, and in 1870 to Crawfords-

 ville, his last home, where he had the care in his declining years 
 of his devoted daughter, Mary (Mrs. Truax). 
 
 In his old age he was fond of reminiscences of his long and 
 useful life. One of these is so pretty as to deserve record : "I 
 recall very plainly a scene of a time when my sisters Lydia and

194 THE RICE FAMILY. 
 
 Elizabeth sat in an up-stairs room singing "Coronation." Sud- 
 denly the roof and windows were covered with martins. So viv- 
 idly did this scene impress me that, almost unconsciously, I 
 seemed to be singing, "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name," and 
 was immediately joined by these two sisters, and a chorus of 
 others singing this same tune and hymn. As it was finished I 
 heard in imagination my mother's voice as she used to often 
 sing as she sat and helped me rock the cradle, "Come Ye that 
 Love the Lord, and Let Your Joys be Known." From that day 
 to this these voices have been with me constantly, cheering the 
 last days of my life." The hymn, "How Firm a Foundation, 
 Ye Saints of the Lord," was sung to him at his request, as his 
 spirit took its flight.

 age of two years he could sing, all unaided, many war songs of the 
 time, such as "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp," and "Rally 'Round the Flag, 
 Boys," which he had learned at the two soldiers' hospitals in New 
 Albany, Ind., near where his father lived. He was a great comfort 
 to the wounded soldiers, sick and far from home, and used to give 
 performances for them in these places, and was idolized by them. 
 He had blue eyes and a profusion of golden curls piled up on his 
 head, and wore little pink cambric frocks braided in white. He 
 was a very angelic little child, (d. of diphtheria; was b. in Corydon).

 Boone, of Ky., he being a son of Squire and Jane Boone, and b. 
 Aug. 30, 1766, and d. March 9, 1831, and lived at Rice's Fort, 
 at Brandenburg, Ky., and in Alton, Ind. He was a man very 
 much inclined to love a life of adventure, and a story is related 
 of him that on one occasion, early in the morning, he started 
 to a neighbor's house to borrow some fire, a,nd, passing along the 
 shore of the Ohio River (near Brandenburg), he noticed a boat 
 with oars and other conveniences moored near the banks, and the 
 temptation was so irresistable that he immediately got into it for 
 a little sail, at first intending to defer borrowing the fire only a 
 few moments, but he did not return for several months. The 
 story does not include the feelings of his wife and the children 
 who had to go themselves for the fire. But he was a fine, whole- 
 souled fellow, and was idolized by his family, and they easily for- 
 got these small slips of memory. It is said that he was clever in 
 many ways in addition to being a fine hunter. One of his de- 
 scendants has a book which he wrote, quite a wonderful piece of 
 workmanship, binding and all most remarkable, made entirely 
 by him, written in a fine style of penmanship, and exhibiting

 NOTE — Squire Boone, the father of Jonathan, Moses and Isaiah Boone, 
 of Kentucky and Indiana, and brother of Daniel Boone, was buried in a cave 
 in Harrison Co., Ind. ; was killed by Indians and scalped, it is said. Tho 
 Boones emigrated from Bucks Co., Pa., to N. C. in 1748, during the time 
 when that country was being colonized. They were Quakers, and this partly 
 accounts for the way in which Daniel could always live with the Indians, and 
 never have trouble with them. He was greatly beloved by them, and must 
 have been a very humane man and of utmost integrity and beauty of char- 
 acter. He was adopted at one time by an old chief as his son, and historians 
 have related accounts of the ceremonies used on this occasion. He was 
 born in Bucks Co., Pa., Feb. 11, 1735, one of the sons of Squire, Boone and 
 Sarah Morgan, and his grandfather was George Boone, who came from Eng. 
 in 1717. Daniel was induced to go to Kentucky by the noted explorer John 
 PMnley, who, in 1767, had visited this wilderness and told of its wonders. He 
 made several trips back and forth, and was employed by the government to 
 negotiate treaties with the Indians. Daniel, m. Rebecca Bryan, and is said 
 to have had the following children : Col. Daniel Morgan Boone, who lived 
 in La., and d. about 1860, aged 80 yrs. James Boone and Israel Boone 
 (killed by Indians). Jesse Boone, who came to La. in 1806, and d. a few 
 yrs. later in St. Louis, Mo. Major Nathan Boone, who lived in La., and in 
 Green Co., Mo. ; Jemima Boone, and Rebecca, Susanna and Lavina Boone, 
 the three last living marrying and dying in Ky. Daniel's brothers and sis- 
 ters all lived to a great age. George d. in Shelby Co., Ky., Nov., 1820, aged 
 83. Samuel d. aged 88. Jonathan at the age of 86. Mrs. Wilcox, a sister, at 
 the age of 91, and Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Smith, other sisters, attained the 
 age of S4 yrs. Daniel Boone d. in Mo., Sept. 26, 1820, aged 86. (Niles Reg., 
 Vol. XIX.) 
 
 It is said in history that Gov. Caleb F. Bennet, 15th Governor of Dela- 
 ware (1835-1837), was a grandson of Mary, a sister of Daniel Boone, and the 
 second Governor of Indiana was Ratliff Boone, who was probably a near rela- 
 tive. He represented Indiana for many years in Congress, and lived in Cory- 
 don. The Boones were said to have been related to the Leas family, still 
 living in Oley, Berks Co., Pa. The names of Daniel's brothers and sisters 
 were, Israel, Sarah, Samuel, Jonathan, Elizabeth, Mary, George, Edward, 
 Squire, and Hannah.

THE OLD GERMAN BIBLE OF PETER FULLENWIDER (1752) USED 
 AT RICE'S FORT. 
 
THE FULLENWIDER FAMILY. 
 
 REV. PETER FTJLLENWIDER, Came from Switz- 
 erland to Hagerstown, Md., in 1*752, with his young wife, 
 making the voyage in thirteen weeks; in mid-ocean they were 
 called upon to give up their only child, which they consigned 
 to the waves. He was a preacher of the Reformed Presbyterian 
 Church, and it is said had two brothers who also came to Amer- 
 ica, near the same time, and went to the South Carolina settle- 
 ments, where their descendants still live, though spelling the 
 name somewhat differently — Fullwiler or Fullwider — and hav- 
 ing many of the family traits and resemblance. The name is 
 said by family tradition to be only about three hundred years 
 old; there is an interesting and curious story as to its "origin; 
 it is said that the ancestor who first adopted the name was a 
 "morganatic" son of a nobleman of the Royal family of Hol- 
 land, and as he could not legally assume his father's name, he 
 was called Full-wiler, or Veul-wiler, which meant in Dutch a 
 wild or strong colt, he being as child and man of remarkable 
 strength and activity. This Fullwiler, or his son, passed into 
 Germany, where the name in High Dutch became Fullenwider. 
 This story is related by Dr. Austin L. Fullenwider of Plaza, 
 Wash., who was a son of Dr. Fullenwider, who married Jane 
 Houston, a niece of Gen. Sam Houston, of Texas fame. His 
 father was one of the younger sons of Jacob, son of Rev. Peter 
 Fullenwider, and had written the story out for the family to have 
 and hand down, and stated that it was a tradition of his grand- 
 father. 
 
 In coming to the new world it had been the desire of the 
 Rev. Peter Fullenwider to convert the Indians, and it was on 
 this mission that he sought the border countries. It is probable 
 that he experienced great disappointment in this work, but no 
 doubt found much to do in preaching righteousness to the mem-

 bers of his own race, and was a power for good wherever he so- 
 jotirned ; he was at many of the forts, at Rice's, Boone's, most 
 likely at Wright's block-house, and at Doddridge's and Vance and 
 Miller's forts, all of which lay in close distance of each other 
 except that of Boone. The Indian atrocities became so dreadful 
 that traveling was most difficult, yet in 1783 he is said to have 
 gone to Kentucky, where the family lived in constant fear of 
 assassination. One of his little grandchildren, a boy about three 
 years old, was taken and scalped, and his body left in a field. 
 The family at the time had thought him inside the house, but 
 found too late that he had taken his cup of bread and milk out- 
 side to eat, and had been carried off before they learned their mis- 
 take. On another occasion a son-in-law was killed and scalped 
 by the Indians, and also his eldest son Peter, but this was pos- 
 sibly after the father's death. One Sunday as he, with several of 
 the grandchildren, was returning from meeting, which had been 
 held at some distance from the block-house, a company of In- 
 dians drove up, and demanded their surrender ; the young people 
 put spurs to the horses and managed to reach the fort, but the 
 old grandfather was walking, and could not follow ; he threw up 
 his hands in sign of surrender, but the savages let him go on, 
 and he finally reached the block-house in safety. 
 
 He died in Shelby Co., Ky., in 1799, and was buried under 
 the house, safe from Indian scalp-hunters. The old Bible, illus- 
 trated above, was brought by him from Switzerland in 1752, 
 and has been carried in all his wanderings, taking part in the 
 many picturesque incidents of his remarkable career. To him it 
 was as the cherished treasure of his heart. Although it weighed 
 thirty pounds, it was carried on horseback all over the country, 
 and from its pages the little congregations at Rice's and many of 
 the other forts were taught the Gospel. Many were the Indian 
 companies that listened to his translations from this book, for 
 he tried to study their language as far as he could. 
 
 In old age it was for years his custom to sit at a long table 
 
THE FULLENWTDEE FAMILY. 203 
 
 and read from this cherished volume, and daily he could be seen, 
 his silvery locks falling over his shoulders, stooping over the 
 book, enjoying its promises and enraptured with its beauties. 
 One morning when his little grandsons were tiny boys playing 
 about the house with their little sisters and cousins, the venerable 
 grandparent was found to be dead with his face in the old Bible. 
 "God had taken him thus" it was said. 
 
 The following list of his children is thought to include all the sons, 
 but there may have been one or two daughters, whose names are 
 not now known; his wife was named Barbara: 
 
 1 MARY FULLENWIDER. b. Hagerstown, Md.; in., 1st, Mr. Lutze

 in Hagerstown, Md., and was killed by Indians in Ky. ( ?) 
 
 4 HENRY FULLENWIDER. d. of malaria, leaving a small family; 
 m. Catherine Rice, dau. of Jacob, of Rice's Fort. There is uncer- 
 tainty as to which of these brothers m. Catherine, but there seems 
 to be evidence that it was Henry.

 (7) JACOB ETJLLENWIDER b. Hagerstown, Md., 
 June 2, 1767 ; d. in Scott's Station, Ky., in 1848. In 1783 he 
 went to Kentucky with his father, and was always a great Indian 
 fighter, and was later in the army of "Mad Anthony Wayne." it 
 being his last campaign against the Indians. He lived for a time 
 at a fort, and later returned to Pa. to claim Anne Leffier as his 
 bride, but this capricious young lady had changed her mind, and 
 
210 THE FULLENWIDER FAMILY. 
 
 gave out that she did not wish to go to such a wild place as Ken- 
 tucky, preferring the more civilized environment of Rice's Fort. 
 
 Young Jacob was feeling rather badly when the benevolent 
 Mr. Christopher Winter,* who had observed the state of his feel- 
 ings, came forward with sympathy, saying to him : "Now you 
 don't care for her as much as you think you do; look at all these 
 other fine girls ; why don't you take one of them ?" "They might 
 not want to go to Kentucky either," said Jacob, ruefully. Mr. 
 Winter became more and more sympathetic, seeing such a fine 
 young man in such trouble, and at last said, "there's my Kather- 
 ine ; she'll go with you !" And so they were married almost im- 
 mediately, on April 18, 1796, but spent several years in Pa. be- 
 fore going, as the first three children were born there; whether 
 this tardiness in keeping her part of the bargain was pleasing to 
 Jacob, history does not inform us, but they finally left Pa. and 
 journeyed toward Ky., part way on horseback and part way by 
 boat on the Ohio river. A story which illustrates her charac- 
 ter is told of her presence of mind during this trip ; the boat was 
 not very well constructed, and some leaks came, and it was seem- 
 ingly filling with water ; every one made an effort to leave when 
 she called for knives and tow, and beigan calking the cracks, anrl 
 her bravery so inspired the others that they soon had the boat 
 quite tight, and by watching and working with it managed to 
 keep it afloat until they reached their destination. The cap- 
 tain was very grateful to her for this conduct. 
 
 Jacob was for fifty years an elder in the Presbyterian 
 
 Note — In a quaint old hymnal possessed by Mrs. Bettis (a desc.) is the 
 following inscription : 
 
 "1806, den 6th April gebe ich. Christophel Winter, dieses gesangbuch 
 meiner Tochter Chaterina Follenwiderin zum gebrauch fur Ihre Seele zu 
 haben mit lesen und Singen : in Ihren Mutter Sprach ; und di meine Rhat 
 folgest und dieses Buch fleissigen gebrauch da von machst so wirst du eine

 Ewigkeit der nicht verweldet. Ewigkeit lass mich dich nicht vergessen. 
 "Amen.

 Ills. (Sangamon Co.). They had 9 chil. : Samuel N., Jacob 
 Nelson, a. dau. (who m. Rev. Arnold Bowman), Solomon N., 
 Simon Peter, Marcus, John H., and others. In Powell's Sanga- 
 mon Co. Settlers (1876) the descendants of this line are given 
 some length, but it is not carried as far back as the generation 
 before Henry. He may have been either a nephew or a grand- 
 son of the Rev. Peter Fullenwider, but is too young to have been 
 a son. He is said in this history to have had a young brother 
 who was killed by Indians ; there is some confusion of identity, 
 for the Henry Fullenwider whose brother was killed in this way 
 died leaving a small family, and Peter, Jr., was killed some time 
 after being married. It is likely that a generation has been 
 skipped here by some oversight. Possibly the Henry above is a 
 son of Peter, Jr. (This record is mentioned so as to give all the 
 evidence at hand.)

HON. SHEPHERD LEFFLER (21). 
 
 The first Representative in Congress from the State of Iowa. Presi- 
 dent of the First Constitutional Convention in 1844, and member of the 
 second Convention as well. He was a member of the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 
 8th Legislative Assemblies of the Territory. He was first elected to Con- 
 gress in 1845, and served until 1851. The following extract is from his 
 speech delivered at the opening of the first Constitutional Convention, from 
 the History of the Constitutions of Iowa, by Benj. F. Shambaugh; 1902: 
 
 "Under your auspices, the youngest and fairest daughter of the whole 
 American family is to commence her separate political existence, to take her 
 rank in the Union of American States. It is not yours to gild or finish the su- 
 perstructure, but to sound the bottom, to lay the foundation, to place the corner- 
 stone : In all its essential features it should be as good, if not wiser and 
 better than any other instrument which has ever yet been devised for the gov- 
 ernment of mankind : So that Iowa, young, beautiful, blooming as she now is, 
 endeared to us by every attachment that can bind us to our country, may at 
 no distant day, for anything that is great, noble or renowned, rival, if not sur- 
 pass, the proudest State of the American Confederacy." 
 
THE LEFFLER FAMILY 
 
 Extract from letter of PROF. L. FR. LAFFLER to II. E. 
 B., RELATING TO THE LEFFLER FAMILY AND 
 NAME IN EUROPE : 
 
 "Djursholm, Sweden, Feb. 5, 1909. 
 
 "As I am that member of the Leffler family in Sweden who takes 
 especial interest in the history of the family, and during many years has 
 made researches on the Genealogy of the Lefflers, my brother Gosta has 
 asked me to answer your letter of May 3d. 
 
 ("As I am a friend of the spelling reform, I have changed my name 
 into Laffler). 
 
 "We have a complete genealogy of our family from the beginning of the 
 seventeenth century, when our ancestor, Georgius Leffler, lived in Breslau, 
 Schlesia, Germany. His son, Tobias, emigrated to Sweden about 1655, 
 probably for the same reason for which the "Mayflower" emigrants went 
 to America — religious liberty. From this Tobias Leffler, I and my brothers 
 are descended in the sixth degree. 
 
 "A grandson of this Tobias, with the name Anders Leffler, who was a 
 super-inspector of the customs in Gothenburg, had eighteen children, among 
 whom was a, son, Anders Gustaf Leffler, b. Feb. 15, 1756. Of him it is said 
 in the family history: 'He went to London, and has never since been 
 heard of." It could be that he has emigrated from London to America, 
 though the year, 1770, seems to be a little too early. If you can find the 
 name of that Leffler who first came to America, and if it should really 
 be Anders Gustaf, I shall give you further particulars about the family. 
 
 "The name of Leffler (older form Leffeler, in the sixteenth century) 
 signifies in German Leoffelshied, or, what might be called a 'smith of 
 spoons,' u fabrieant of these silver and gold spoons from the end of the 
 middle ages and the beginning of the new age [here Prof Laffler makes a, 
 little drawing of a spoon with ornamental handle], which are so much ap- 
 preciated among collectors. Perhaps, also of wooden spoons. The name 
 belongs to the class of family names which signify the executor of some 
 craft. 
 
 "As the old word Leffel, spoon, now has changed into Laffel (eomp. 
 Lowe, instead Lewe, older form), the name Leffler, often now occurs in 
 Germany, as Loeffler, as found in the name of the Professor of Medicine, 
 the renowned bacteriologist, Friedrich Loeffler, in Grieswald ; the Professor 
 of Laws, Alexander Loffler in Wocer; the Professor of Geography in Copen- 
 hagen, Ernst Loffler. A daughter of a. Swedish Colonel, Batik, is married 
 
218 THE LEFFLER FAMILY. 
 
 to an English gentleman (of London, I believe, with the name Leffler (of 
 German origin, of course ) . 
 
 "There are also Lefflers yet in Germany; for instance, two painters, 
 artists, and there are surely several different families with the name. In 
 Sweden there is another family with the name of Leffler, which came to 
 Sweden from Germany a little earlier than my family. One branch of this 
 family has been ennobled, and is now Reuterskold, a great family. The 
 geneologieal tables of this family have been printed, and there are among 
 the members several men about whom nothing is known except the birth 
 year, for instance : Lars Leffler, b. 1693 ; Simon Leffler, b. 1698 ; Johannes 
 Leffler, b. 1699; Peter Magnus Leffler, b. 1705 
 
 "Among the German Lefflers or Leofflers, there is one who is known 
 in Swedish history, though nothing is known about his relation to the 
 Swedish families Leffler. His name was Jacob Leffler (also spelled Leoffler) , 
 Von und der Neidlinger. Dr. Jurisprudence, Chancellor in Wurtemburg, 
 in 1633, Vice-Chancellor of the "Evangelist Union," in Germany. (The 
 Evangelist Union was quite a Swedish creation during the Thirty Years' 
 War), Royal Swedish Privy Council, Sweden Legate to Paris. 
 
 "Perhaps you have heard mention of my sister, Anna Charlotte Leffler, 
 who died in Naples, Italy, in 1892, as Duchess of Cajanello. She was a 
 renowned authoress ; several of her works have been translated into Eng- 
 lish, and one, the Biography of Mrs. Kowalevsky, has been published in 
 an American edition. 
 
 "Respectfully yours, 
 
 L. Fr. LAFFLER. 
 
 (1) JACOB LEFFLER Date and place of birth un- 
 known at present, though the family in one branch have a rec- 
 ord of one of this name, born June 9, 1745, but as the record 
 has been several times copied, it is not likely to be absolutely 
 reliable, especially as there seems to be confusion in the identity 
 of the person, one branch of the family taking it as a record of 
 the birth of Jacob (11), his son. He seems to have lived, first, 
 at Hagerstown, Md., as one of his chil., Anna Margaret, the 
 eldest, was b. there in 1762. After this time he may have re- 
 
 Note by H. E. B. : Prof. Laffler is a brother of the equally distinguished 
 Prof. Gosta Mittag Leffler, Ph. D., and a member of the Faculty of the Uni- 
 versity of Stockholm. They are sons of Rector J. C. Leffler, member of Par- 
 liament. Prof. Leffler is a member of nearly all the learned societies of 
 Europe, including the Institute of France. 
 
 Anna Charlotte Leffler, Duchess of Cajanello, left a son, b. 1S92, called 
 Oaetano Leffler Del Pezzo. He is the only son of the Duke of Cajanello. 
 and will, if he survives his father, succeed to the title. He has already pub- 
 lished a little book of poems.

 moved to Washington Co., Pa., where he made a settlement 
 in 1774. There is record of a transaction by which a tract of 
 400 acres of land, named "Sylvia's Plain" is granted Jacob 
 Leffler on Feb. 17, 1785, and the fact of his previous settlement 
 of the tract is mentioned. It was granted by a Virginia certifi- 
 cate, in which it was described as adjoining lands of Jacob Rice 
 and Christopher Wygand in the county of 0., on Buffalo 
 Creek (a place near the present site of Washington College). 
 Rice's Fort, probably occupied the land of Jacob Rice, and all 
 the families of the settlement used it as a post of defense. Later 
 on the county was divided, and Westmoreland Co. erected, and 
 later still Washington Co. It is a very lovely piece of country, 
 and but for the Indians would have proved an ideal home where 
 every kind of game was to be had, abundant fish in the rivers, 
 sugar trees, wild fruits of many kinds, some now unknown, rich 
 land for grain and fine pastures for horses. The hunting of fur- 
 bearing animals was also followed both for pastime and profit. 
 The company at Rice's Fort seem to have included several Swiss 
 people, and there is a probability that the Lefflers and Rices, too, 
 were from Switzerland, as they followed the tenets of the Re- 
 formed Presbyterian Church, and their descendants have more 
 of the characteristics of the Swiss than of the German people. 
 They were very religious ; seem to have been more than usually 
 well educated, and to have been refined; that is to say, not of 
 a vulgar or ordinary sort, as they had among them breeding and 
 manners, above the common class; and the features of their de- 
 scendants indicate this in a marked degree. 
 
 The name of Leffler seems to have appeared in several local- 
 ities in Pa. earlier than the time of Jacob. There is a Jacob 
 Leffler in Berks Co., as early as 1767, and Major Conrad Lef- 
 fler (6th Battalion Berks Co, 1776, with whom was associated 
 Lieut. Col. John Rice), may have been a relative, especially as 
 the name of Conrad seems to occur at Rice's Fort, and a family 
 of the name came to Corydon, Ind., from Western Pa., and had 
 
220 THE LEFFLER FAMILY. 
 
 been more or less associated with the Lefflers. The names of 
 Peter, Philip, -John, Frederic and others of the Leffler sir-name 
 appear in the Archives among the Militia and taxpayers of Pa. 
 even earlier than the settlement at Rice's Port. The descendants 
 have a tradition that Jacob Leffler, their ancestor, was born in 
 Germany; this could easily have been Switzerland, however, as 
 the boats came from German ports. 
 
 In disposition the families have always been most kind, 
 open, without fear, very hospitable, and of sterling integrity. 
 Many of them have lived to a great age, and have been firm sup- 
 porters of the Presbyterian Church almost without exception. 
 
 Jacob Leffler married Catherine Miller, and he must have 
 died about 1785, near the time of his Virginia Certificate, as 
 hip widow seems to have remarried to the Rev. Jasper Simler 
 in or near 1786. {For her descendants by this marriage see 
 Simler Gen. at back of book.)

 (2) ANNA MARGARET LEFFLER. b. Hagerstown, 
 Md., Dec. 25, 1762 ; m., 1st, Daniel Rice. She was a woman 
 remarkable for her understanding and retention of mind and 
 memory to the last moment of life. She died in a paroxysm of 
 congestive fever, being ill but a few hours. At the time of her 
 death she did not appear to be over 60 years of age, though ap- 
 proaching 90. Her teeth were beautiful and white, and almost 
 perfectly even. Her sight was good, and hearing perfect.

 After the death of her first husband she m., 2d, David Craig, 
 a Protestant Irishman, a man of fine person and excellent in- 
 telligence, and of very great decision of character, who was said 
 to very much resemble President Jackson, both in physical and 
 mental characteristics. (Notes from Dr. H. J. Bjce.) 
 
 David and Anna Margaret are buried at Waveland, Ind., where 
 they removed from Corydon. By her first husband, Daniel Rice, she 
 had 7 cliil., as follows: Elizabeth, m. Mr. Bowman (see portrait). 
 Jacob, m. Polly Cooper. Abraham, John, Henry, Anna Margaret, 
 Isaac, m. Narcissa Montagu Allen. For a further account of her 
 descendants see Rice Gen. No. 2.

 river to New Orleans on a flat-boat, and was never afterward heard 
 of. It is supposed he died. He was a fine young man and ambitious.

 (3) JOHN JACOB LEFFLEE. b. Aug. 9, 1765 or 
 1767, according to different authorities. In the record handed 
 down among many of his descendants the name of John seems 
 to have been omitted, but in the Simler family (descended from 
 his mother's son by a 2d marriage) there is a record which gives 
 this name, and so it is thought best to include it. According to 
 tradition, he was a very fine man, tall, athletic, strong as a lion, 
 and of firm will and good disposition, gentle, loving peace, and 
 promoting it, if necessary, with force. He m. Jane Smith, Feb. 
 5, 1788, and lived on Short Creek, seven miles out of Wheel- 
 ing, Va., acquired land, built distilleries, mills, and assisted in 
 educational movements, promoting the University of Blooming- 
 ton, Ind., and being Justice of the Peace in Donegal Twp., in 
 1805. (Washington Co., Pa.) He later removed to Iowa, for 
 he is said to have been buried in Burlington; d. March 3, 1844, 
 aged 78 yrs, 6 m. and 22 d. ( ?) He had ten children, and

 towns in Skuylkill Co. His wife was b. in Orwigsburg in 1809, 
 
 dau. of Jno. Wildermuth. They were among the first members 
 
 of the Evangelical Church. There is a tradition in this family 
 
 that the name Leffler is of French origin, and signifies a 
 
 "Flower," or La Fleur. This is a much prettier idea than the 
 
 other before mentioned of the origin of the name.

THE SIMLER FAMILY OF 
 RICES FORT. 
 
 (1) KEY. JASPER SIMLEE. b. in Switzerland, 
 either in Zurich or Geneva ; date unknown at present. He was 
 a student, became highly educated, was well versed in Latin, 
 Greek, and also spoke French, as well as his native tongue, the 
 German. In Switzerland he held a professorship in some insti- 
 tution of learning, and was said to have made money, and when 
 the tide of emigration turned to America was one of those who 
 chose to come and try the new world. He probably belonged 
 to the same circles in Switzerland as Rev. Peter Fullenwider, 
 and the ancestors of the Rice and Leffler families. He came to 
 "Westmoreland Co., Pa., in the early day, perhaps before Wash- 
 ington Co. had been erected. He was in Rice's Eort, and m., 
 perhaps, about 1785 or 1786, to the widow of Jacob Leffler 
 (1), who was Catherine, dau. of Mr. Miller (probably of Mil- 
 ler's Fort). They had only one son, and are not known to have 
 had any daughters. The name of Simler has not increased much 
 in the United States. 
 
 A few years after Jasper Simler came to America and mar- 
 ried he rode over the mountains to the town of Reading, Pa., 
 to hear the Wesleyans preach, was converted, and ever after- 
 ward a devoted Methodist, was ordained to preach, and continued 
 a minister until his death. He did not attain a great age. 
 
 Issue: (One son.) 
 
 (2) REV. JOHN SIMLER (Jasper 1). b. in Pa., and 
 probably in the vicinity of Rice's Eort, June 25, 1787 ; d. in 
 Harrison Co., Ind., July 5, 1846 ; m. Susanna Winter, who was 
 a sister of Catherine, who m. Jacob, son of Rev. Peter Fullen- 
 wider. She was born in Pa., probably near the same place as 
 her future husband, Oct. 25, 1785, and d. in Harrison Co., Ind., 
 July 5, 1814. They emigrated from Pa. about 1808, near the 
 
THE SIMLEE FAMILY. 237 
 
 time during which the Rice and Boone families came, and made 
 a home in Jackson Twp., Harrison Co., on Raccoon Creek, a 
 short distance north of Zoar Church. The place is now known 
 as the Hugh Dyer farm. Here his eldest children were born, 
 perhaps all of them, and John Jr., lived and died here. The 
 country was very wild, but beautiful, at that early day. So 
 much was it infested with wolves that large premiums were paid 
 for their scalps. It is said that John Simler, Sr., often had 
 considerable money for them, as he was a very successful hun- 
 ter. He was a man of much more than ordinary ability in 
 many ways ; was a teacher and composer of music, and read 
 medicine a good deal. Two of his sons became ministers. He 
 was a promoter of the University at Bloomington, contribut- 
 ing money to it, and helping it in many ways. Some time be- 
 fore his death he became an ordained minister and continued 
 the work up to the end of his life. After his death his widow 
 remarried to Mr. Hanks, a relative of the mother of Lincoln. 
 He had eight chil., as follows : 
 
 Chil. of John Simler and Susanna (Perhaps not correctly arranged) :

 THE SONG OF THE WAHBEEK 
 
 A POEM 
 By H. P. H. Bromwell. 
 
 "A narrative poem concerning a superior race who occupied the West 
 before the coming of the Indian, a people who worshiped the sun, and 
 traditions of whose existence have been handed down by the red race. 
 
 "The theme is the poetic story of Klo-Lo-War and Lowiel, a youth and a 
 maiden of this ancient race, and the verses are set to a stately rythmic 
 measure, the lyric qualities of which are liquid and musical. Four travelers 
 of profound learning meet by chance, near a sachem's medicine stone in a 
 western wilderness, and to them appears the spirit of the Wahbeek who 
 tells the tale of the lost race, and of the extermination of its people by fire 
 and flood." — Baltimore Sun. 
 
 "It leaves one in a fit atmosphere of the great twilight land celebrated 
 by him." — Cincinnati Enquirer.
